[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 60smusic:
Can someone make this more user friendly by making a backup of their boot image in img format so it can be flashed in unified toolkit for people who ain't really so fastboot/adb friendly this I appreciate the unlock but it's missing directions.. all it implies is the fastboot commands how is anyone who is new to Android supposed to know what to do with this... I think a boot.img which can be flashed in unified toolkit would be better for everyone half the people new looking at this like oh ok why isn't it a boot.img

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Also the idea was a stolen idea and no credit was given so I feel like no credit should be given here in regards to the unlocked bootloader.. before that one dude posted his unlocked bootloader boot image method this boot image here was just a root and safety net image there was nothing in it in regards to a unlocked bootloader.. it was a stolen idea and this person is trying to take credit for work which he didn't come up with I mean damn all you did was sign the boot image which he posted and added safety net and now I guess you want to claim credit?

Do I need to sign it or something? When I flash it I get bootloops.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] reddv1:
No, you don't have to sign it, because you are flashing the kernel directly and not the boot.img.

Did you follow the Fastboot command (fastboot flash kernel marlin-8.1.0_r0.4.lz4-dtb)? Make sure you only flash over the stock boot.img. I haven't tested flashing over a custom kernel or TWRP, Flash TWRP after if you want.

That's all I can think of at the moment, I've flashed it and works perfectly fine.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] reddv1:
Are you flashing over a custom kernel or TWRP? If so, the ramdisk might be too big. Try flashing the stock boot image then flashing this kernel.

I rooted my Sprint S8+ and everything is great except for one thing. When I open my camera application (and others that automatically adjust to the screen's orientation) it will automatically default to landscape... Until I actually turn it to landscape, at which point the screen goes to portrait.

In other words, the orientation is opposite of what it should be. Any ideas on this?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Falitheman:
I was thinking if the new portrait mode could be ported to the pixel xl since google is basing it off software and machine learning and not hardware. On a side note do you think the launcher from the xl 2 could also be ported?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] flex360:
i think it uses extra info from the new dual pixel camera

but you never know

there are some talented guys on here who might port it
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TjPhysicist:
From what i can tell:

Back Camera: obviously uses the dual sensor (NOT dual camera but two sensors). The phone then does some processing with information from second sensor to give you that "portrait mode" effect. Some say it's better than with dual cameras...idk about that

Front Camera: now this is one of the reasons a lot of people, myself included, think that porting might work. Front camera only has one sensor and one lens, just like OG pixel camera. Google uses a software processing and AI similar to what is used in back camera, to do the portrait mode; except this time there's more processing involved to "figure out" the BG vs FG etc (which in the back camera would be assisted by the extra information given by the extra sensor or another camera), which is the main thing with portrait mode effect. However, what I've been told is that there is an extra processor hardware called "gouda" in the pixel 2's that assist in this intensive extra processing.

I'm not sure if the same (use of the "gouda" processor) applies to the obviously less amount of processing required with the two sensors at the back, definitely with only one sensor that is apparently the case.

All in all, it SEEMS that this is impossible as the OG Pixel lacks the extra processor to do the calculations required to mimic portrait mode without a second sensor or lens. This is not even getting into the fact that, a LOT of people say that even with all the calculations nothing beats the portrait mode on the back camera that has all that extra information from the second sensor.

However, my hope is that this new "portrait mode" is at least made available eventually in the app on playstore, perhaps hooking into any extra information available from a second camera or sensor at the back (meaning, for example, other phones that *do* have dual sensors or dual cameras can make use of google's obviously excellent rendering for portrait mode).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gamemastr:
I just downloaded the APK for the new camera app and it works fine, you have to do the "keep object centered and move phone up" thing but it works fine, both front and back camera.

EDIT: Also in Android 8.1 the new launcher is coming to the original Pixel, iirc. I just downloaded that APK as well :p

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
Lens blur is similar to portrait mode but it's not exactly the same. Lens blur target focus area is smaller while portrait mode automatically find the object in the foreground and blurs the background.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firehawke:
I'm on the 5.4.0.1 build, and I'm having an odd reoccurring issue that's driving me crazy.

I'll install the Google stuff in the proper order using the APKs (instructions from a post on this site; I've tried other kits/instructions, same results), reboot at the proper times, and it'll work fine for a brief time. All of a sudden the touchscreen will start to glitch out badly-- a touch on a given spot will register countless presses on the same X axis, but going up or down the screen (looping at the edge) wildly, causing a lot of stuff I don't want to press to get pressed.

If I do a factory reset, it doesn't fix the issue. I have to rewrite the firmware by doing a ADB sideload after clearing cache and factory resetting to get the touchscreen to work normally again.

Any ideas? I really kinda need access to Google Play if at all possible.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Could be a bad screen. You can download touch screen repair apps and try a few of those. Could be dust stuck in between the casing and screen. A safety pin does good to clean that, just be careful. If a new device, you have 30 days to return it for a replacement. First I heard of this issue so that's about all I got right now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firehawke:
This is my second unit. I expected it might be a hardware issue, and indeed it did act like it, but doing a adb sideload, etc does fix it.

I've also just confirmed the problem starts as soon as I install the Google Framework. Time to do another ADB sideload since I broke it again...

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
If I had a choice, I'd return it and get a Fire 7 (not one from 2017) and hope for one that has a rootable OS. I love my HD 8, but I've pretty much gutted it of Amazon. The only thing not making it 110% is not having root.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apel69:
My phone was acting slow 2 days ago and then locked up on the Samsung logo . This is the third time this year it has happened. The previous two times I flashed the same firmware and good to go. This time it failed and I received the message "Samsung firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error with associated images. If I boot into recovery mode I am confronted with the same message. However, I can boot into download mode.

The phone is a US Cellular Galaxy S4 SCH-R970. It is rooted and running a stock 4.2.2 firmware.

Things I have tried.

1) Flashing the identical firmware with Odin.

2) Tried several original cables, several USB ports on my computer, different versions of Odin and even KIES.

3) Flashing 4.4.2 that I had used successfully on another identical device.

When I flash 4.4.2 with ODIN everything works until the write process and then it fails. Here is what is displayed by ODIN. I tried 4.2.2 again but it gives me a SW Check Fail because I had tried to flash a newer firmware.

The following is displayed on the screen above the error message.

This brings me to a 2 part question.

1) Is this a hardware issue like the motherboard failing?

2) Is there a way to revive the phone and stop this cycle of soft bricks?
