I didn't think you had a S Advance too.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] isaak:
Too bad, I'm looking for an active dev, but they continue to say they need the device...

so now I'm looking for someone who does have it but doesn't use it.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] isaak:
It's still my primary phone, so I can't.

But I'm available to make a small donation of 10 euro.

Unfortunately I don't think it's enough, so I invite anyone to post here if you agree with this idea (or the idea to give your S Advance).
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] isaak:
I understand, don't worry. :good:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Pdevo:
I am disposed to take part in the collect, considering how much as now an s advance costs, wouldn't be so hard to get quickly the money and with very little effort for all.

I think that is a good idea and can really give a new life to our device.

Obviously a spare s advance of a willing and generous user would be the best thing we can hope in, but seems really hard to happen, however, my hope isn't died yet
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] edi194:
Maybe on weekend i'll look into what changes are needed to run atleast nougat on it (from source), if this'll work then we'll think about Oreo xD
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] isaak:
If you're really interested, I'd suggest to look at the Oreo rom of Chrono:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3678722

and to look at the Chrono Kernel (compatible with janice but with some bugs):

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/custom-kernel-t2793420/post74179403#post74179403

Ace II has the same chip of S Advance (with some code differences) and the dev is very helpful to explain how it works.

Two guys in the same project would be better than one guy on a single project.

As far as I know [MENTION=7779223]sm_adil[/MENTION] doesn't reply to any PM and Epirex is busy on his Moto phone.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] sm_adil:
Yes I agree two or more dev contributing to the same project will be good!!

However if you consider me as fully fledged dev you're wrong I'm more of web developer than android or java. I did build couple of kernel's for testing my skills but than again they were not so stable and I didn't had time to debug it!!

So yeah if get the time I do want to build a ROM for Janice :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Cambapo:
I've got a Janice right here that I don't use. I'm actually looking right now for a way to root it and install whatever superior than the Gingerbread ROM it currently has, but the point is that it's available for testing purposes. Btw, is it possible to leave a phone number here?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] isaak:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] isaak:
You could start from one of these tutorials:

https://nathanpfry.com/category/android/

I'm not good at compiling, I tried it and didn't like it. So I can't help you more than that.

For this reason, with the help of some xda users, I have donated a S Advance to [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION].

Currently he's actively developing a new kernel and a new rom in this section:

I think we could expect more roms with higher android versions, so your feedback is important.

UPDATED Mar 20

Hello everyone,

I've been experimenting with ways to recreate the Pixel experience and I've come up with a solid solution. This will require access to adb shell and does NOT require root. You will also receive OTA updates.

Your phone will have the Pixel Launcher, the Pixel Lock Screen and most of the stock google apps.

Step 1 - Installing Pixel Launcher

Download Pixel 2 Launcher and install it.

Enable App Shortcuts

Go to Settings > Apps > ... drop down > Configure Apps > Home App > select "Pixel Launcher"

Enable Notification Dots and Calendar Widget

Go to Settings > Apps > Pixel Launcher > Permissions > Enable All

Step 2 - Set Phone to Dev Mode

Enable developer options on your phone.

Settings > About > Software Information > More > Tap "Build Number" until you get a prompt for dev options.

Settings > Developer Options > Toggle "USB Debugging"

Plug your phone into your computer.

Step 3 - Install ADB and Remove Bloat

Install ADB

Enter adb shell and use the following commands to uninstall stock apps. This does not actually remove them from the phone but uninstalls them from the current user, thus making them disappear from your app list.

Access Shell

adb shell

HTC Sense Home

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.launcher

HTC Lockscreen

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.lockscreen

Note: You will lose HTC lock screen gestures.

HTC Phone

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.incallui

HTC Contacts

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.contacts

HTC MMS |

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.sense.mms

HTC Mail

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.android.mail

HTC Help

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.guide

HTC Clock

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.android.worldclock

HTC Alexa

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.htcalexa

HTC Sense Companion

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.aiclient

Republic News

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mobilesrepublic.appy

DUAL SIM USERS ONLY

Set SIM to allow Google Phone and Android Messages

settings put global multi_sim_sms 1

Thanks to [MENTION=438152]Electronic Punk[/MENTION] & [MENTION=3453812][Fenix][/MENTION]

Optional:

DUO

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tachyon

GOOGLE VR

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.vr.vrcore

HTC Weather

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.Weather

HTC Quick Launcher

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.quicklauncher

HTC ZOE - If you don't use hyperlapse.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.zero

Step 4 - Install and Configure Software

Phone OS

Set Display Size to Pixel 2 Equivalent

Go to Settings > Developer Options > Smallest width > Change to "411"

This is the default on the Pixel 2.

Google Apps

Install Google Phone

Go to Settings > Apps > ... drop down > Configure Apps > Phone App > select "Phone"

Install Google Contacts

Install Android Messages

Go to Settings > Apps > ... drop down > Configure Apps > SMS App > select "Messages"

Install Google Clock

Install Google Wallpaper

Choose whatever apps you want on top of these (Hangouts, Gmail, etc.)

If there are additional applications you would like removed, download App Inspector and you can get the path for any app on your phone.

Every work well?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] everdred:
Assuming you meant "Everything work well?" The answer is yes. I've been doing this for about 4 months and never had any issues with it. The biggest risk is the lock screen and phone, both work great.

In fact, I can't think of a single thing that doesn't work or has errored, but that is only based on my work flow. Perhaps others could find an issue, so no guarantees!

If you disable the HTC lockscreen via ABD, does it get replaced with the normal AOSP one?

Cause I really dont like the HTC one.

Yep, stock android. You can see it in my screenshot.

Nice! Will give it a shot over the weekend. Thank you ?.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Turtl3z:
Just FYI for everyone who plans on disabling the Lockscreen via ADB. I did it and the gestures stop work (double tap to wake for example). Any solution for that?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] everdred:
I've added a note to the OP. You're right, forgot to mention it because i always disable those gestures to save battery. With the fingerprint reader as a home button, I never found them useful. Thanks for pointing it out.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] desean:
Thanks for this.

For those using dual SIM HTC U11, don't uninstall HTC MMS/SMS as we can't use Android Messages yet (due to this issue)

Ok, then that is my point. Because this thread is about imitating Google Pixel 2, so the idea is to use Android Messages to do that. Of course that is not to say you can't use other application but that is not the point of this topic here.

An update on this, I was able to sort Google messages as my default messages app. To do this I went to settings , searched for SMS, clicked first option and then chose preferred SMS message provider. For some reason can't attached screenshots.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] everdred:
I added some notes to the Phone and Messages installation section. You want to set both of them to the default. I've had no issues with either. I've been on this for about 4 months. I can make calls, take calls. I can attach screenshots, pictures, etc. through messages. I'm on US Unlocked.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] everdred:
I've uploaded the OP with better formatting and explanations but also added changing the display size:

After watching some videos, the Pixel 2's default display size is actually equivalent to HTC's small option. We also get a little more screen real estate thanks hardware navigation buttons.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] hmsq:
What is is weird even though I ran the command to uninstall the HTC Phone, it runs in background.

You can see it from my screenshot, where the notification show 2 phone apps and when I call someone if I press back button it takes me to the Google Phone Dialer.

It is weird.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtschmeichel:
OK. You have a dual SIM U11 and I have a single SIM U11.

It looks like the Google Phone app doesn't support Dual SIM, at least this older version 7.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] hmsq:
So this is what is triggering, how can I install HTC phone app now, as it doesn't show on System apps to re enable ?

Anyone successful in "properly" enabling nav-bar (on-screen buttons)? I believe having an on-screen navbar and making it look like Pixel is one of the key things in trying to replicate the pure Google experience. I have tried modifying through build.prop and it does work (enables the navbar) but it looks very dated and can't be changed through Substratum themes! Not to mention the fact, that HTC Camera has UI issues when you enable navbar on this device
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] everdred:
The version I use has a blue background that blends with your wallpaper, so perhaps your wallpaper is making it look green?

this . but are you using the nonnexus version of the discussion and you get blue?At the beginning of the call for a moment it is blue and then turns green. thank you

however I have tried different versions but all remain green after a very first hint of blue. I can not understand why ...

Yes, I am using the one linked in the guide. Mine is blue, I haven't seen the green before. No idea what would cause that.

Go to Settings > Apps > ... drop down > Configure Apps > Phone App > select "Phone"

EDIT 2: I also found this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/5ytj3l/background_on_pixel_dialer_is_green_instead_of/

Appears as though the color is determined by your SIM slot.

the setting is right as a guide and the image posted that presents is like the one posted by you but I can not find the settings to eventually change the color ... you're using it with 1 sim only? I yes and therefore sim 1. thank you

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] everdred:
Yes, I believe it is due to which SIM slot you are using on your dual sim phone. I would guess that if you switch it to the other slot it will turn blue.

There is also the possibility that you had a theme from the HTC theme store before following my guide and it applied to the dialer. You can see that Settings > Personalize > Dialer Color has an option but is disabled if my guide is followed. You could install HTC Sense launcher from the store and attempt to change the color there.

I have a single-SIM US unlocked phone with Blue.

Yeah, I'm aware. That was the method previously used in the guide.

However, HTC's default size is 360dp, HTC's small is 423dp. This is a dp value of 411 which is obviously in the middle and a more comfortable size IMO. Just trying to emulate the Pixel 2 as close as possible.
