Sorry for my bad English.. Im an Italian boy :( and sorry if this thread create problems to some users.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] pi4a7a:
Currently Oreo is under development for Mi5, there's no stable rom to this date I can think about LOS 15 with the working camera and stuff I think it has least bugs, try it, but know its beta/alpha rom for now.

Hi all,

I spent some time to develop an application launcher based on Trebuchet 13 with a custom application drawer which users can create folders and change application icons placement.

You can check this video to see what it looks like and how it acts Youtube - DecentHome Preview

It is a little bit 2015, and it's not that customization friendly, but I tried to make it simple and mainly focused on the application drawer's capabilities.

In order to achieve that I may had to rewrite Application Drawer from scratch and heavily reconstruct existing database and its services.

You can download the source code from GitHub - DecentHome

Also, you can download a standalone version of Trebuchet 13 which you can directly download, import and compile on Android Studio from GitHub - Trebuchet13Standalone

You can install it with attached apk.

Feel free to ask questions an comment.

Please let me know about any errors.

Thank you.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tge101:
For the second time in about a month, I took my phone out of my pocket and saw it wouldn't wake up. Holding into the power button wouldn't bring any lights on. I plugged into a charger and it showed the charging light but didn't immediately turn on. Held the power button a few times and finally it showed the Carbon boot screen but not the initial Sony boot screen. Like the last time, it's working fine now and other than these two incidents, I see no other issues. Could this be a ROM issue? I've been on Carbon for months and haven't noticed anything else.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] hsanjay19:
I've asked this question before but I'm having a hard time choosing between Honor 8, Honor 9 and iphone SE (yeah I know :p) so please help me out. Many reports of bad battery life on Nougat so I'm worried before making the jump.

How is your battery life with latest update on Nougat? I mean without rooting, greenify or other tweaks. How's standby time with wifi on and background data always on?

Thanks a lot!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Days Tech:
I would not go for the iPhone. The iPhone has an awful display and is not too fast. The Honors are both pretty good. Honor 9 is better than Honor 8, but Honor 8 is still pretty amazing. I haven't had any battery issues myself, so idk what is all this fuss about.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] midhun_suresh:
Bro its having everything with this much power and slim looks you can't expect 24 hours battery life.honor 6x has better battery backup but looks cheap and asphalt airborne will lag,in this it'll not
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] hsanjay19:
Sorry but 12 hours is still too low, unless you are eating up the battery playing games and using GPS all the time. Powerful processors should also be power-efficient. I don't think the processor in Honor 8 is inefficient because by all accounts battery life was fine on Marshmallow, so either Huawei messed something up in Nougat or the quality of the batteries in some units is so bad that they degrade a lot within the one-year mark, which coincides with the time of the Nougat update. Looks are irrelevant to a discussion of battery life.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] midhun_suresh:
All the time gps is on,wifi is on in my device,and I use phone most of the time.I use plenty of apps and watch a lot of videos through Amazon prime,still it lasts 12 hours and it has Huawei native fast charging.its the best phone I have ever used.have used sony,HTC,samsung etc

Well maybe not that bad then, if you are a heavy user. Anyway if you are happy with your device congratulations. Oh and Samsung is crap. HTC sadly is rapidly spiralling down to nonexistence.

Hello everyone,

I am torally used to AOSP keyboard since GingerBread and can't live without it.

Therefore, I grabbed the LatinIME.apk app from LineaogeOS 15 (Oreo) for another device and installed it on my XZ1 Compact.

I can set it up in the settings, but whenever the keyboard should popup, I got a force close.

I used this method to use AOSP keyboard on my previous phones without any issue.

Any idea ?

How Best Nougat ROM Stable For Sony Z3 D6603 ???

Please Link Brothers thanx You :):):)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perobot:
Hi mate I have not so good news, after testing for months nougat on my Xperia Z3 I do not recommend it for some reasons that I will describe below:

1. The charging time of the battery is very bad, not to say ..... (it runs out very fast advice you should use two mobile devices to spend the day).

3. Can not change anything to improve the use this I mean the kernel. (You can install mods but it will not happen.

4. Poor quality audio.

5. Among other smaller ones.

The advantages a lot of Ram free good fluidity in the system.

I currently return to MM. I no longer support problems with the load and can not control certain kernel options. And something very important for me personally the audio.

The one that seems most stable is: (Resurection Remix 5.8.5) the link

https://xdaforums.com/z3/orig-development/rom-resurection-remix-5-8-4-t3670491

2 In the cell phone enter in TWRP (Maintain volume down & power until you see twrp splash screen) verify the version of TWRP continue with the rest:

3 Have your ROM Nougat preferably ready to install with your downloaded Gapps I recommend the aroma version of the Gapps, have these files in your SDcard.

4 do this (Wipe system, cache and data).

5 Proceed to install your Rom and Gapp files. (wait until you finish installing restart wait for the first boot.

6 Enjoy trying Nougat.:D

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
Our phone needs a bootable only TWRP, this is a fact.

This is because of the a/b partitioning but, more, since of the "new" recovery-in-boot.IMG design which links kernel & recovery presence in an unwanted way...

And a bootable TWRP is the "official solution" developed by TWRP Team for Pixel 2/2 XL - the more similar device up to date - to overcome this issue in better way. I fully agree with their solution and I had thought of it even before of their official release...

A LOT of development has been done on this phone during only last month, better installable TWRP, better kernels, better installation methods developed for them, both for first install and for upgrade too, BUT the lack of a boot-only TWRP, something easily (& ever...) accessible with a simple fastboot boot twrpboot.img command is every day more evident...

For some reasons this has been achieved (even if still with limitations...) on Pixels (with available sources obviously...) but, to date, not for our device... :confused:

I would like this thread will become the reference thread to all which would want to contribute on this development, a place to report achieved results and faced issues so that others could try to help & overcome them...

We still have a restricted team of developers, but most of them are *great* on their work... I'm sure that only with a bit more teamed up work, this is a result we could achieve in weeks... probably before Christmas! ;)

So, just to start, everyone which has tried to develop (or study...) this, could report what type of issues has faced to date... :p
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I will still have twrp on my boot image. When I was testing kernels without twrp and I got a horrid kernel panic, stock recovery just wiped the device rebooted, wiped, repeat. When I had a bad kernel panic alpha testing on twrp, it would just boot to twrp in tact then I could flash the old kernel. If everything was too messed up, just reflash twrp. All kernels I have made besides the ones that gave those issues work perfect in twrp. Even the ones where bogoMIPS freq was used instead of our frequencies. (38.0 MHz). I like the idea of not having to hook my device up to a computer to boot into recovery.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
Yes, I understand this, BUT there are a lot of other scenarios where having a bootable TWRP could save the day and/or at least make things simpler....;)

On the other hand, you are the first developer I know who is quite ever going without root! :p

(So you can't be taken as the "average user"... :D)
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] 3's&7's:
I am confused...(I am I am long time enthusiast, pls forgive my naivety!)

I can reboot into twrp without issue using current method in this forum. Is "bootable twrp" referencing where / how twrp is implemented on this device? What are we missing as users and fans of all the great room devs out there by using our current method?

Ty for any insights in advance.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] jhofseth:
The bootable refers to the command fastboot boot boot_a your-filename.img or fastboot boot boot_b your-filename.img . For the Moto Z2 Force, it has to be compiled differently than a boot image intended to be flashed as with the command fastboot flash boot_a your-filename.img , or fastboot flash boot_b your-filename.img . The reason it now has to be compiled differently is that our boot image is combined with recovery. If you try to fastboot boot a fastboot flash type, it would boot normally into Android OS--if all went OK. If you fastboot flash flashed a fastboot boot type, the device would boot into recovery instead of normal Android OS. Both fastboot boot and normal boot result in the kernel and ramdisk being written to RAM--to volatile memory; the difference is whether the data originally came from the device's non-volatile storage or external PC via USB-C cable.

Alternatively, there are two main forms of zip installers for a combined boot image, which are intended to be flashed inside TWRP or an apk like FlashFire (FlashFire does not play nice with already Magisk rooted Z2 Force, in my experience): a zip flash that flashes the entire boot.img (ramdisk + kernel), or a zip flash that only replaces half of the boot image (the ramdisk). For combined boot images, the ramdisk-only type that does not replace kernel is the more common of the two flash zip types on the site TWRP.me . In fact, I have never seen an official installer that also replaced boot image kernel on the official site.

As mentioned above, the fastboot boot type is not meant to be fastboot flash flashed; rather, it is primarily meant to be a platform utilized to flash the TWRP zip installer. You will see some devices on TWRP.me that have both fastboot boot type and zip flash type, and the aforementioned technique is why both are provided. Take a look at Pixel 2 XL (codenamed Taimen) on TWRP.me, and you'll see this method supported. :)

[MENTION=7308704]jhofseth[/MENTION] .... I could never explain it in a better way! :D:silly::good:
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
To come back IT... [MENTION=7308704]jhofseth[/MENTION] I know you have studied a lot this thing in these weeks, so I have a question for you...

If you take a boot.img containing a TWRP recovery like one we already have, and try a fastboot boot TWRP.IMG it should boot to its included kernel and then to system (if possible...), right?

This way we can test a new kernel without flashing it but it isn't our goal...

Well, when already flashed on phone we can choose between reboot to kernel/system or TWRP by adb commands or by extensions like Gravity Box...

Is it so hard/possible/thinkable to modify one of our boot.img so that it is in some way "forced" to boot to its TWRP in any case? :confused:

(and so even when loaded with a fastboot boot command...)
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I would work on this if someone explains in detail why our current setup is an issue. I have ran into plenty of kernel issues when building bad kernels and twrp as recovery was better than stock recovery (as stated above). Please, I want this if there is a real reason for it. Our stock recovery just factory resets the device, so a recovery with other options is kinda nice.

Temp booting a kernel: use AIK and inject kernel into a boot image.

New TWRP update, just flash the boot image (which might have new boot image as well) and just reflash kernel. It is better than needing to hook the phone up to a PC every time you want to boot TWRP...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] jhofseth:
Yeah, that is one way to test, but sometimes that will fail even when the kernel works. For example, sometimes if you fastboot flash, sometimes you also have to flash latest Magisk again right away in TWRP, or it won't boot into Android OS. That would be impossible with fastboot boot (i.e., unless you patched boot image first with Magisk manager apk, or some other tool), because you would be unable to flash latest Magisk (or SuperSU 2.82 beta SR5). So, sometimes fastboot boot would fail to normally boot into Android OS--even though the kernel may be completely OK. :)
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
There are plenty of scenarios where a bootable TWRP could be hassle saving / needed BUT you ask for a single one and I'll give you one... Or two! :laugh:

I want to be free to install the kernel I want with TWRP version I want.

Now this is not possible (if not with weird/tricking installations! :eek:).

E.g.: let's imagine to want to install latest *stock* kernel with latest TWRP.

I have kernel, I have TWRP flashable zips ( [MENTION=7308704]jhofseth[/MENTION] made some which are fantastic...) BUT no (simple) way to merge them. :rolleyes:

More: as you like to have tweaked kernel BUT without root, there is plenty of people who like to not have TWRP flashed on their systems BUT still being able to make backups and/or flash zips... (e.g. we have already seen some incompatibility between CF-Root and TWRP in past...) and/or remain free to take OTAs... & so on...

I could continue for hours, but these are already valid reasons IMHO... ;)

Pixel 2 developers are not stupid... they have choosed this solution for valid reasons...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
Answer (I have done this before I flashed TWRP and it worked wonders): root a boot image, go into system, adb shell, su, dd if=/dev/block/sde17(sdf17 for slot B) of=/sdcard/boot.img You now have a rooted bootable image, return to stock image. now you can use Flash Fire to make backups and flash stuff....

You can flash any kernel to TWRP. you want the stock kernel to flash? I can make a flashable zip with the stock kernel by Motorola if needed. It isn't hard tbh...
