[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Preinstalled Kindle app (not the one available in the Play Store) is known to have some dependencies on the stock launcher. May explain the behaviors observed when Apex is primary.

Home button long press behavior is expected with custom launcher. Don't believe there is a workaround w/o root.

Apex and Nova are fine launchers; I prefer the latter but it's a personal call.

Widget support is variable by launcher. Last I knew Nova required root for widgets (on FireOS only) but that may have changed.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzynco:
Widgets works fine in Apex by following this post https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/root-required-widgets-preferred-launcher-t3637814.

Does the reference to preinstalled Kindle app vs Play Store Kindle app mean I can use the Play Store app with Apex?

If so, how do I get it installed? Would it overwrite the 'updated' preinstalled Kindle app in /data/app?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Assume you mean Nova as widget support with Apex has been established.

To the best of my knowledge the preinstalled Kindle app must be used. As I recall the Play Store app doesn't install/function correctly under FireOS.

I returned my Pixel 2 for the essential phone specially for that $499 price tag and to my surprise I don't miss the pixel 2. The only thing I miss is 8.0 but I have faith that 8.0 is coming to this phone soon. For those of you who haven't played with 8.0 yet trust me... It's nice!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DanDroidOS:
I have the the Pixel 2 and the PH-1 right now for that reason, I have been bugging Andy Rubin and Essential on Twitter to update to 8.0. When the PH-1 gets 8.0 it will be the best device out in my opinion.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maven1975:
Your not crazy.

Honestly, the camera just stinks. Its gonna take Essential to really work on firmware and software to solve it. Yes, you can use the Google Camera Mod/Port, but that comes with its own set of headaches and it not perfect.

I would like Oreo and them to really show us they can take the LG G6 camera hardware and make them work like the LG G6 cameras.

If they can do that, I think it will show the industry that they mean business. If they just let it slide till Essential Phone 2, and don't show that they can deliver software and firmware, it will really show just how shallow and normal their company really is. Meaning, oh well... let them just buy our new one because its better for our bottom line.

I am REALLY in hopes that they want to prove and show that they are above the other trolling companies that just shovel out new devices. That would set them apart from the pack of the massive flood of phones by a sea of Android OEM's.

Show us your better than the norm Essential.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] LordLugard:
This is going to sting a bit.

Price just dropped further down to $449 at BestBuy.

http://bit.ly/2y4iQfp :):)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mackentosh:
The Pixel 2 prices should've been lower, after having the phone for 8 days I realised that it's not worth 8 and $900+. No wireless charging, no head phone jack and the build quality is sub par. The squeeze feature is useless and you can't remap it. 8.0 is the only thing that sets the pixel apart for now
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Pixel 2 128gb is only $750. And you can remap the squeeze function easily with Flar2's button remapper and a simple ADB command.

Also, I can't agree with you about 8.0 being the only thing that sets it apart as the camera is arguably the best on the market right now.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Yeah, but the 2 is ugly with those huge bezels, and the way too expensive 2 XL is looking too buggy.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] xocomaox:
Well, true those bezels kinda suck. The 2 XL just had screen quality issues. I returned mine.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mackentosh:
Ok cool I'm glad I'm not the only who made the switch
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JasonJoel:
I hardly ever take pictures, so the pixel 2 has nothing I want.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] malek777:
Its not easy to justify the price of the pixel but you do get a few things the essential phone doesnt have: IP67, stereo speakers, much faster updates, and an incredible camera. Is it worth it? Idk
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Notchr302:
I have my ph-1 coming today. I'm rocking a pixel 2 XL 128. I wouldn't even consider the smaller pixel for the dinky screen so I think the bigger pixel is more comparable. These 2 phones, both at 128gb are $529 difference out the door. Camera , waterproofing and speakers are advantages over the ph-1. I just don't think it's worth over five hundred bucks. Plus the screen is not the highest quality and I haven't heard anyone say this but the pixel fingerprint sensor is not the best. If you have the slightest moisture on your finger ,even sweat, it won't register. I just feel like at a grand, a phone better be near perfect. The only deal breaker to me would be if the ph-1 has connectivity issues. I'm also really into a smoother software experience which is unmatched by the pixel line it sounds. I DO kind of like the underdog company who seems willing to listen and try to make consistent updates to improve things. I think I'll be content knowing tthat those updates are coming and it gives you hope and something to look forward to... especially Oreo. Looking at that beautiful screen while waiting may very well be worth it!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] androzen:
App conflicts with existing package by the same name....

I have this error updating apps from apk mirror..before 7.0 i dont have this problem..any help guys? Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] menace211:
Just got a pristine Note 5, got it rooted and twrp' d. I'd love to have it unlocked for rom purposes. I do own the phone outright so I'd imagine I could call Sprint for the code but XDA is where my heart is so I wanted to ask here first. Any remote unlockers available? If this is frowned upon, feel free to close this thread moderators.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] RossTeagan:
Talk first with Sprint and see what they are saying.

Depending on the situation, they might provide the codes or not. And once you have this info, if it's necessary, start looking for unlocking service.

I recommend you gater as much info as possible before paying for any service.
[Essential Phone Accessories] vincentallen2:
Has anyone found a protector for just the back side of the PH-1? I'm thinking about two PH-1's, but I like to have all my accessories before purchasing the device.

I'm also wondering if anyone has found a bumper case this phone as well

TGSP + Rear protector + bumper case would be the perfect combo for this phone, in my opinion
[Essential Phone Accessories] allsports:
A user here has created a bumper case that he printed on a 3D printer and you can download the files and upload the files to www.makexyz.com and have it printed and shipped to you for around $12 USD for a bumper case. It's an experiment not a perfect fit.. Search for it here.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Jaxidian:
I think skins (dbrand has good options) are the best you'll get for the back. However, the ceramic is not easy to scratch, so it's debatable if anything is necessary if you'll have a bumper.

I'm not really interested in the 3D printed bumper for $12 per attempt, so I'm going the skin/naked route most of the time. I'll have some cases when I need them, though.
[Essential Phone Accessories] viperc:
Thinking of getting phantomskinz clear full body protector. But seems like it will affect the 360 camera attachment.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Postman3156:
I know Pixel 2 bluetooth problems have been discussed here and elsewhere ad nauseam, but I honestly haven't found anyone else experiencing the problem I'm having. Or really even close. None of this was an issue with my Nexus 6P, which I just replaced.

First problem: Audio programs mute between tracks. The phone thinks it's playing them, but it isn't. Take Pandora. A few songs will play fine, then one will end, and suddenly it'll go mute when the next song starts. I'll notice no sounds playing, and I'll look down to see it think it's playing, but with no sound. If I pause and hit play again, the sounds start up until the next song, when it does the same thing. This happens with every audio program I've tried EXCEPT Google Play Music, which works fine. It also sometimes works for 4-5 songs before tanking.

Second problem: notification noises suffer the same fate. I'll have Google Play Music going (which works), and it'll just cut out for a second). That's the notification buzz, which silences the music but doesn't actually play anything. Obviously I can't use the play/pause test to see if that fixes this.

I'm using Soundpeats Q16 true wireless. I unfortunately don't have much else with which to test this. I'd blame Soundpeats, but they worked great on my 6P, and the bluetooth problems with the P2 make me think it's not on Soundpeats here.

I've messed around with the Developer options, and I THINK that setting the Playback Quality to anything steady (330kbps, 660kpbs, or 990 kbps) fixes it. The problem is that that, and the other Bluetooth developer options, all reset on me almost immediately, so that's tough to prove. I have also tried messing around with Tasker, whose sounds also wind up muted.

So one question I'd have would be: is there a way to make those developer options stick?

Second question would be: anybody else in this boat?

I have tried both re-pairing and factory resetting the headphones, several times.

Whatsapp hangs on initializing screen:(
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
If you don't clean flash don't bother to report bugs.

Also don't report 3rd party apps bugs. I'm not the lead developer of the whole planet.

Because here everything is fine and it really bothers me what you all do.

It's impossible here for everything to be fine but not in your phones.

Same thing happens in all threads. I see people blame me or my work.

Tell that to whatsapp developer I don't care. Mine here works fine.

Also whoever isn't thankful or doesn't press thanks don't even bother talking. Will be ignored.
[G4 Android Development] nocio:
Are you in beta program on WhatsApp? maybe that's the problem..

I was also beta tester of whatsapp, and moved back to AOSCP, but can you test this?

Leave beta program and than download and install whatsapp from paystore and try to activate
[G4 Android Development] macpak:
Not a beta tester; tried reinstalling - still hanging on initializing screen. Activation succeeds though.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
well... as i said im not WhatsApp maintainer. i will look later for an alternative way to restore the whatsapp backup. since drive keeps backup, there must also exist a manual way to restore it.

i will keep you informed

[MENTION=3650678]macpak[/MENTION] ok my friend, I saw what's going on.

The strict security here doesn't let WhatsApp to autosync to contacts on it's own. Go to settings , accounts, press to add WhatsApp account. Afterwards return again there and enable syncing and auto syncing.

After a minute or so WhatsApp will work as it should work.

Same for WhatsApp plus
[G4 Android Development] raptorddd:
amazing job kessaras:highfive:

used aokp back in the days in the galaxy s2 alot of customazations . thank you for your all hard work kernel/aosp/stock and now this.

ot

are you twrps themed upto date with what steadfasterx said to use stock for stock and custom n for aosp n roms . are yours updated and themed i was just wondering i liked the themed one from you.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
yeah , aokp is my choice for something with full customisations. it has everything. i will try 1st get official access and support and then ill start fixing all minor bugs to make it as stable as my other roms
[G4 Android Development] macpak:
Thank you for such a prompt response. Followed your instructions but Whatsapp keeps initializing forever.. Pity cause your new rom venture is amazing - speed wise and customizattion wise..
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
What can I say... Too strict security here.

Try with WhatsApp plus too. Latest 6 , or any, it will ask for update anyway after it sync.
[G4 Android Development] dszymek:
kessaras I know that's a stupid question but which rom you recommend for this moment? AOSCP or AOKP?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
Depends on your taste. Aoscp is pure AOSP , without almost anything to customise and aokp is full of everything but currently only with a few minor bugs not visible to the eye.

As far as I know since I use it for many days before I decide to publish it, it only has a sync problem to WhatsApp app. It needs to manually enable sync in settings while waiting for WhatsApp to sync. That's all.

Generally I never publish a rom if it's not super stable because I'm perfectionist and annoyed by stupid comments. Half XDA community blames me , haha.

If any plane falls on Big Ben in England , they will blame me again
[G4 Android Development] raptorddd:
come on man .. you are not robot. you cant go thru all settings in aokp aosp freedom v29 N and on top build a kernel. so you doing great. LOL maitaining one rom is enough to get you stressed. imagine that many.. so people please be more patient..
[G4 Android Development] stratonz:
Marvelous work [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION]!! :good::good::good:

I've clean installed AOKP today, with gapps, titan kernel 1.6 (maybe it wasn't useful, but that's for sure...) and magisk. Everything seems to work perfectly and finally I can configure the navbar as I like (maybe there are some conflicts between the navbar configuration in settings and the same thing in "ROM settings", but nothing irresolvable).

The only thing I'd still like to have is the ability to show in recents only the active applications, like for the "slim recents" configuration.

After the installation of ROM etc, I've had no a problem in reinstall a hundred of apps with Titanium backup (although somebody does not recommend it...:fingers-crossed:)

Thanks again.
[G4 Android Development] Vaeltys:
Hi kessaras ! First of all, thank you so much for your work and this Rom, its fast and seems stable. But I have small questions (btw I cleaned flashed as mentioned in OP)

Concerning WhatsApp, do you mean sync the whatsapp account in phone settings while WA's initializing ? Doesn't work for me neither (can't upload the screenshot from xda app to show you...)

Also, I'm used to the one click battery saver from notification tile, doesn't it exist in aokp or did I miss the option somewhere ?

Thanks again ;)
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
yeah they haven't added that. i can add, but it will have to wait until i have time to get busy with gerrit and get official access (IF i get. proly ill get it) and then add it officially.

Now its 2 click :p clicking on battery and then on power save.

About WhatsApp and this stupid strict security.

I tried 3 times and could successfully sync and init with both normal and plus app.

While its trying to initialise, we go enable whatsapp sync in settings and give it access.

Then we reboot. We start the app again and wait a bit to sync.

We dont close the app at all. We let it always try initialise in the background. After we successfuly init, we do whatever we want, its going on fine.

(Also check permissions while it initialise. Give it permission to make calls if needed)

Sorry for that. When i was testing aokp i couldn't test every every function on my own. So when i decided on AOKP i didn't know it had that "bug" (if we can call it like that)
[G4 Android Development] Vaeltys:
Ok no stress concerning the power saver, I imagine you have a lot to catchup first.

About Whatsapp, I've tested your method with reboot and granting all permissions without success. If it's a no go I might wait for a fixed build, which is fine ?

Thanks for your quick answers mate
[G4 Android Development] Cimabu:
Thank you so much for your job [MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION]! Guys like you and [MENTION=6917540]Astrako[/MENTION] are keeping our device still alive only with their daily passion! :good: ;)
[G4 Android Development] tmihai20:
Can someone post some screenshots? I would love to see what AOKP has more than other flavours. Thank you in advance :)
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
screenshots in op. its like RR but missing one or two customisations. its the aosp side of RR you could say.

im warning you , if you use WhatsApp you will find it hard to initialise it (for now). Not impossible, but hard.
[G4 Android Development] tmihai20:
I already read about it. I am not jumping ship just yet.
[G4 Android Development] Vaeltys:
Not to bother you, but could it help if we sent you logcats ?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
no because its not an error and logcat shows nothing, its clean.

the app works fine, but it has strict security. something blocks whatsapp to auto-connect and sync and needs manual 1st syncing and reboot to work.

Also that playstore restriction 9 is not an error. It must be the signature. I asked in official los thread for a build.prop and i was ignored. So i will need some free time to build and flash los and check signature n' fingerprint and compare with aosp based roms.

Well....... , in the end i will fix them for sure, its no big deal, but if i had a friend dev that had experienced those before to gimme a hint i would have already fixed them.

I'm a dev only since 2 months :D i believe im doing great for only 2 months lol.

Patience
[G4 Android Development] Vaeltys:
2 months ! That's kinda impressive start indeed.

Okay, but isn't it weird that WhatsApp works well on your AOSCP then (which I come from btw ;) ) ?

I would so much give you a hand if I had any clue about Android dev!

Keep going kessaras, you're doing pretty fine work so far.
[G4 Android Development] tulen_kobi:
Can you install for example Waze from the Play store? Or it writes Device is not compatible with this version?

If you can install it, can you please tell me which gapps are you using? Please exactly: Like if it is nano,mircro,full etc.
[G4 Android Development] kinuris:
Hi. Downloaded and extracted from last unnoficial LOS.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
apkmirror. All aosp roms with g4 give restriction=9, when all los based built are fine.

thats what im working on to find out where it comes from.

thank you , will use that one too along with the official to compare them and see.

#######################

#######################

Well.... diging in the blobs i found missing blobs

for face detection and thermal blobs missing.

I didnt fix yet the restriction 9 but i fixed the

face unlock and we also have better thermal

control for the cpu , on all roms using my blobs.

Also updated the fingerprint sign to Nougat in the

device.

I'll keep checking. I'm sure i'm gonna find more
[G4 Android Development] tulen_kobi:
I would suggest to use Yalp store instead of APK mirror. As it downloads apks directly from the play store using you Google account. It is on the F-droid repository.
[G4 Android Development] tulen_kobi:
I got a system crash.

Here is the log: https://pastebin.com/ZYpgeAFW
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
very nice. possibly fixed it in a sec.

its a known issue but not with an official fix anywhere.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/y7a-SBGEyJI

do you want to tell me what you last did so i can reproduce it and check it here at my phone if i fixed it ?

Because your log is too accurate. i cant even see what you did before and cause that.

EDIT:

And by the way, very nice log. Very accurate. This kind of log is the best , it can help fix almost anything. im impressed. usually users' logs are huge and full of trash
[G4 Android Development] tulen_kobi:
I sent you the log with trash to the pm. This log was taken using the app called Catlog.

Last thing what I remember is that I took photo from the google camera. Version Arnova's 5.1.014_v9.1
[G4 Android Development] deltadiesel:
How is battery life compared too aoscp
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
i will delete aokp. i dont have the time to maintain many roms that need a lot of work.

i will only keep AOSCP from aosp based to keep trying to fix the restriction 9, because im stubborn

and i'll build one LOS based (when i will decide which one) for something without bugs at all.

Sorry for that. It's just that we 've been left all alone here on g4 now and alone i can't maintain everything. Especially when the time comes and there r updates everywhere; security patches, kernel patches, kernel updates, new kernel modules, new features, new i dont know what.

I'm just predicting that if i work on many things simultaneously, half of them will always be outdated.
[G4 Android Development] tulen_kobi:
AOKP runs much better for me than AOSCP. Why not to keep AOKP instead of AOSCP?
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
well.... aokp has this bug with whatsapp too and i really dont know why a 3rd party app doesnt have automatically full access to sync the contacts and since im only a few days on aokp repos, i dont know where to start looking.

Official support is dead. Devs move on to Oreo too.... i don't even get an answer when i ask about something for g4. We r totally ignored.

If i was in developing earlier i would know what to do. So without experience from before and having an unknown bug to fix and without anyone paying some attention...... i will keep the one with less user side bugs.
[G4 Android Development] stratonz:
Oh no! I'm very sad to read what you've written... For me I haven't had a problem with aokp. Aoscp is nice, but it needs xposed to configure navbar the most similar to the way I like. Do you think is it possible to improve aoscp setting or start another fully configurable ROM (also if you've said that you don't like Los based roms)?
