Unofficial TWRP can be flashed and loaded, however, cannot decrypted data partition.

After restart, the device always boots into recovery but never back to system.

Does anyone have TWRP really work on An 8?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.malone:
The latest TWRP is working for me on 8. I used the 3.1.1 from the AOSP thread. I now have Android 8 rooted with Magisk. Works great. I did have a problem with using the AOSP image that was posted. I kept getting a boot loop, followed by a boot into TWRP. I finally downloaded the factory image and manually flashed the system, vendor, bootloader, and boot images. I then booted into TWRP and flashed Magisk. The system started just fine, but would lock up after a bit. I wiped the data partition in TWRP (preserving media though), and now all seems to be fine. I had to reinstall my apps of course, but at least it works. Battery life is great on Oreo.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kbugleung:
May I know the version of Magisk you are using?

Does the SafetyNet check pass?

Thanks.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.malone:
I am using Magisk 13.6 beta. It passes safetynet (according to Magisk at least, I don't actually have any apps that check safetynet right now), though I had to restart magiskhide for it to work.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kbugleung:
Thanks for your info!

I have flashed TWRP and Magisk. They all work great!

magisk not working on pixel c tablet with April OS update

I have the April OS for the Pixel C and am using the correct boot.img but, still patched will not boot .

.

I don't have TWRP installed because it causes the April Pixel C OS to reboot to recovery only, so I had to revert back to stock recovery.

TWRP used to work but not now with April OS. .

.

I installed the latest Magisk MGR [MagiskManager-v5.6.4.apk].

I downloaded the latest Msgisk.zip [Magisk-v16.0.zip].

I extracted the April OS boot.img file and placed on the Pixel C.

I used MagiskManager to patch the April boot image.

I copied the patched_boot.img file to my PC.

I booted the Pixel C into fastboot and flashed [fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img].

Pixel C will boot only to the Black Google Logo.

I flashed back [fastboot flash boot boot.img] and Pixel C will boot up fine.

Seems neither TWRP nor Magisk work on the April OS build. .

I uninstalled MagiskManager-v5.6.4.apk.

I installed the older MagiskManager-v5.5.apk.

When opened, the old MagiskManager will only let me upgrade to the new?

Thus, can't even try the old MagiskManager and, the old magisk.zip file?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m+a+r+k:
Magisk 16.0 to 16.2 bootloops Pixel C. Use 16.3 beta.

Indhu: Greetings from Moto and Lenovo. How may I assist you today?

P8tGames: Hello. I have a Moto G5 and I wanted to ask something about the software

Indhu: Please feel free to proceed with the question.

P8tGames: So, I actually have two questions. The first one is: An friend of mine still didnt got the march security patch update. The secound one is, Is the Moto G5 really getting Android 8?

Indhu: Security patches is a phased process, so it may some time before it is made available to all the devices across the world. Please be patient, and hopefully you will get the update soon.

Indhu: You will surely receive the Android 8.0 update.

Indhu: We look forward to the release of Android O and are excited about the improvements Google has made. We don't yet have the source code, which Google will release to manufacturers later this year.

Once that happens, we will dive into the code and will be able to share which Motorola phones will be upgrade

P8tGames: Wow, thats cool. Thank you very much for youre time. I will come back If I have any other questions. Thank you!

Indhu: That's my pleasure!

Indhu: You will be presented with a small survey via e-mail at the end of this Chat. As I really value any feedback about how well I have helped you today, I hope you don't mind taking some time to complete this.

I have modified some files from sys\module\qpnp_fg\ and sys\module\qpnp_smbcharger\ to modify some power settings based on a guide, but I forgot to back up them. I would like to rollback, so if anyone can upload these two folders from Stock nougat ROM would be really appreciated.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
These are from the hardware itself (or mostly likely kernel / dts*),

so a reboot most probably should restore the values to default ones

Yes, at least for me afaik it was the case when I modified it in the past,

always was default after a reboot or turning off and start the phone from scratch.

Would be good to know though how your values differ from others
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] UchujinFilms:
So I stupidly installed Nova Launcher just to try it out. Discovered the inability to hide the navbar on my homescreen problem (seriously teslacoil? not cool).

Spent ages searching for a way to get back to where I was.

Installed Nova Laucher Beta 5.4 beta 3 which allows it to be hidden whilst using nova laucher but still isn't hidden if I go back to touchwiz! I can see the hide button inside apps and it's working (navbar disappears, just swipe up yo see it) everywhere but the homescreen.

VERY frustrating. Anyone know of a fix for this?

I just want touchwiz back the way it was with the navbar hidden on the homescreen :(

EDIT: Just to be clear - Navbar was hidden on the homescreen using Touchwiz before I installed Nova Launcher. Isn't now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
Latest beta Nova launcher supports hiding the navbar.

Install it then go to settings > look & feel > notification bar. You will see it there.

Can't help you with touchwiz as I've literally never used it :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
I bought The Dash Pro by Bragi (truly wireless earbuds) and I'm having an odd problem where the audio drops in and out when the phone is in the front pocket of my jeans, only when I'm outside though. If I take it out and hold it by my side it's fine most of the time, if I hold it to my chest it's fine. If I'm inside it's fine, even if it's 15 feet away.

Is there any way to monitor the bluetooth signal strength, interference, transmission rate...anything?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johninor:
Is it just media audio or is it also phone calls? I posted something like this a while back and couldn't get an answer. For me, I've never noticed the problem on phone calls, only listening to media. Here is the post:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/bluetooth-headset-breaks-outdoors-t3437693

Since then, the problem has worsened and I sometime get the breakup indoors also. I am currently running LineageOS and still having the problem. It is bad enough that I am thinking of getting a different phone even though I like everything else about my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Only seemed to be with music. I was on NitrogenOS, and then went back to stock, locked and unrooted. Not much better. Taking off my bumper case helped a little bit. Bragi had me do firmware flashes two different ways and a few factory resets. Nothing solved the problem.

They also had me do a signal test by placing the phone down, in line of sight and walking away and counting my steps until it dropped out. About 29 steps inside and about 10 outside, which is a reduction by 1/3 but is still a good ten feet away...which makes the "dropping out in my pocket" issue even more odd. I've also noticed that the dropouts also seem to only occur when I'm walking. If I have it in my pocket and stand still it's usually good. WTF is going on with these?!

They also drop out frequently when connected to my Samsung Smart TV, inside obviously, and I'm only about 7 feet away from that (small living room). Yet they'll be fine 15 feet away from my cell phone. I've used them with my HP Windows laptop and they seem fine but that connection has received the least use.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johninor:
I think it is the phone, not the bluetooth device. I've tried at least 3 different headsets and the results are the same. I use the same headsets with a Moto G and I don't get any dropout outdoors.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
That could very well be the case, but doesn't explain why it doesn't work with my TV. I do have issues sometimes when connecting to my sunrise lamp/sleep tracker. It will say "connection lost" half the time during the initial connection. It was infuriating to setup. I'll probably be getting the Pixel 2 when it drops, and I just got an email from Bragi saying that firmware 3.0.3 is "coming in the nearest future". I'll give it a try with my roommates two phones (Note 5 and iPhone 7) and see if it still happens.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
My issue is definitely related to the earbuds themselves. I just tried them with my mom's Galaxy S8 and went for a walk in the woods, as soon as I put the phone in my pocket it started dropping out, taking off her bumper case didn't help at all. I could completely kill the signal simply by putting my hand over the phone while it was in my pocket. I noticed that while using them with my TV, if I lean forward like 2 inches the connection is fine, but if I lean back like two inches it drops out...

Bragi is releasing an update next month, lets see if that resolves anything.
[Essential Phone Accessories] jovon49:
I really would like a case option. I like the peace of mind of a case or at least a thin bumper. I can't find any but wallet cases on eBay and Amazon. Essential website has no accessories but the 360 camera. I already have a phone on the way I would really like a case.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Goronok:
I'm in the same boat. I cannot find anything available either. Would have been nice for Essential to sell something alongside the phone.

[Essential Phone Accessories] tech_head:

I'll cover the ceramic back with 3M.

I'll cover the front with a protector.
[Essential Phone Accessories] tw1tch175:
This is probably why there aren't cases. The 3rd party manufacturers typically get a cad render or a demo unit early to have their cases ready for launch. Hopefully Spigen or someone gets a case out quick. I'm fine going day to day without but when I go out I want a case.
[Essential Phone Accessories] IM0001:
Well there are a bunch of screen protectors already. (I already have a pack) but I am hoping I can run this phone naked. The only reason I got a case for my Nexus 6P is because of the soft as butter aluminum that was used on it that allowed the edges to scratch if you just looked at it sharply. I used a HTC 10 prior that didn't have this issue and it shows when one manufacture uses a softer form of Aluminum than another.

The one thing that does irk me is the curved edge to the screen. Why nearly all the latest phone designs have this is beyond me since you aren't doing the actual curved edge like a Samsung, why the heck are you trying to copy them with the subtle curve on the edge that just attracts scratches like nobody's business if you run naked, and a screen protector doesn't fit exactly to the edge because nobody makes a curved one for anything that isn't an iPhone/Samsung device so you get only partial coverage and if you don't put it on jussst right, the edge might lift just enough to be caught at some point when you put in into a pocket, causing gunk to get in there and ruin the protector.

I am hoping that the near edge screen means the curve at the edge is smaller than say, the Pixel, but we will see once it is in hand.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Odd_Duck:
I have found Skins,... Dbrand Skins I'm definitely thinking about this and a screen protector, but more than almost anything I want the heft and feel of the Essential Ph-One more than anything,... ;)
[Essential Phone Accessories] stewa2jm:

[Essential Phone Accessories] EniGmA1987:
I really wish this came with the same shatterproof screen that Motorola has. That combined with the titanium and ceramic really would make this phone the most durable phone out there of modern day, right up there with the old legendary Nokias. And then we definitely wouldnt need cases for any reason.
[Essential Phone Accessories] stewa2jm:
There is supposed to be a picture of a Nokia 3310 here...
[Essential Phone Accessories] alnova1:
From the reviews on the Moto screen is that it might not break but gets scratched all to hell just in your pocket.
[Essential Phone Accessories] km8j:
Yes cause it's some form of plastic. But much easier to prevent scratches than cracks with a simple film
[Essential Phone Accessories] Coffee Freak:
Don't need a case, LOL. So they are replacing broken screens for free?
[Essential Phone Accessories] superchilpil:
Who would want a plastic screen? It's a great idea in theory but in practice it's trash.
[Essential Phone Accessories] tech_head:
Agreed. I like the feel of glass.
[Essential Phone Accessories] EniGmA1987:
Then put a tempered glass screen protector on and it solves both those issues for you while retaining a screen that won't break even if it falls badly. Easy solution guys.....
[Essential Phone Accessories] Toon10:
I reached out to Spigen. From their answer I think Spigen wants to make a case. But essential isn't giving them information. At least for now...
[Essential Phone Accessories] creepinm3:
Dbrand is making skins for it. So if you want to protect the back there you go.
[Essential Phone Accessories] km8j:
No ship date yet though :(. They are probably waiting for their own essential phone to make them. Then it will take another week or two to ship.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Incrovantilist:
Hey Guys,

I'm curious whether we can manually add/unlock QC3.0 support to the zuk z2 plus. I have 2 solid sources claiming that the zuk z2 plus has the required hardware to support QC3.0. Although these sources are pretty unknown, they are the only good sources that shine some light on the hardware level support of QC3.0. One source is devicespecifications. com.

[Screenshot attached]. I've verified the hardware mentioned in this site of other phones and they seem to match 100%. The other source is this app called "Device Info HW". Well this app gives more of a concrete base that our device has the hardware chipset (PMIC) to support and manage QC3.0. [Screenshot attached]. The chipset mentioned so in this app is

smb1351 (Check screenshot) which is a QC3.0 chipset (Qualcomm website itself mentions so). But this app when I tried on other devices fails to mention the PMIC present. Now this is where I require some help. I need some of you guys running various roms to install this app and post whether you get the same PMIC (it's mentioned as charger). And also if possible try this app on various other official QC supported phones and post results. I need this info to proceed in porting either a mod (hvdcp file) or request a developer for custom kernel to support QC3.0. I hope we can successfully add QC3.0 support to our phones.

Peace Out ✌️

That article is of thoughts on the phone and not review. Bro we have the phone. I have tested with more than half a dozen QC2.0/QC3.0 chargers and results are always the same. Normal charging speeds if not slower than the charger that came with the phone. Lenovo misquoted this phone's charging capabilities in press release. That's why all websites give the same wrong info. Maybe you can try and post evidence that Z2 Plus supports any form of QC and you'll become famous throughout this forum. :p

Please do elaborate your point.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] n00b_dr0id:
There is no separate 'chipset' per se for QC. It's SOC. I included the article for further reading. Every manufacturer has his own implementation and/or scripts other brand chargers hence don't work. If any one has a Lenovo QC 3 charger can verify.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Incrovantilist:
Bro first please know the basics. Sure you need your SoC to support a particular QC protocol inorder for it to work but that's not it. OEMs need to implement Quick Charge delivering PMIC (Power Management Integrated "Chipset") along side the SoC for the desired QC protocol to work. On paper almost all Qualcomm SoC launched after 2015 support some form of QC (check Qualcomm website). But since Qualcomm demands a Royalty charge for using their QC patent, OEMs implement QC protocols in only certain devices. Though Lenovo should have implemented official QC on our phones (considering that almost all SD820 devices have QC support), due to price factor they didn't. They did implement some form of fast charging protocol developed by themselves, which is nearly equal to QC1.0 or more precisely I'd regard it as QC1.5 (since it's little better than QC1.0). As far as I researched, I came to know that the PMIC in our phone is actually a QC3.0 capable one. That's the reason I started this thread, looking for Unofficial developer support to enable QC3.0 on kernel level.
