Hi all.

I need to know if wizard is able to work with a two line sim card.I know that there are some phones which are two line capable but i don't know about wizard.I also don't know if the limitation is hardware based or software.

Thanks alot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
If it's a Vodafone SIM the answer is probably, "No."

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=369466&highlight=dual+SIM

Even aside from having searched and found the answer in less than a minute (hint, hint), I'd still have guessed the answer is, "No." I don't think the HW of the Wizard was designed to handle a dual SIM. The phone is just too old.

Hi:

I just brought a new factory unlocked Pixel XL on ebay that I plan to use on Verizon. I am upgrading from a Galaxy Note 4 that is running CM13. The Pixel is coming with Android 7.1. Since I know that a lot of you are Car Talk fans, I will answer their most common question - The phone is 'Very Silver'. My question to you all is what should I do with the phone? Should I stay on Nougat or upgrade to Oreo? Do I even have a choice if I stay with the stock ROM? Should I flash a different ROM? If so, which do you recommend?

Thanks for your help!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zehlek:
First before you update any system, I would recommend going into developer settings and see if you can select OEM Unlocking if it isn't already and also unlock your bootloader. Remember to have debug mode selected as well. After you unlock your bootloader then boot up phone and update. I

There is an update waiting to go at least to 8.0.0, most likely 8.1.0, waiting for you when you activate it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NepoRood:
By all means, unlock the bootloader first, if you can :good:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] hallevison:
Thanks for all your advice. The phone came today and unfortunately it is the wrong phone. He sent a Pixel rather than an Pixel XL - too small for my big hands. I will order another XL and will be in contact when I get it. I would still like advice on ROMS.

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 3mutts:
First is to make sure you werent scammed with the seller selling a **** Verizon model off as a Play version, the Version models have a lovely Verizon rootkit that prevents you from unlocking the bootloader and other than running the command below there is no way to tell the difference:

adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid

if it returns anything with VWZ try to return it ASAP as it is 100% useless for rooting

R2 is up now, I am working on getting AnyKernel to work and keep recovery on device if possible when flashing.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DespairFactor:
We have confirmed that the flashable zip keeps TWRP on your phone and you get to keep the kernel and your system working fine!:)

To root with this, flash twrp to your boot partition using fastboot, flash the kernel zip and then flash magisk.

EDIT: also confirmed to work on nougat!

Is Magisk working with this kernel on Oereo B2? Magisk 14.3 caused lots of reboots, 14.6 just doesn't work (no magisk after boot).
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DespairFactor:
Looking into it, I think flashing magisk makes touch work, will see if I can fix it within the kernel side.

Yes it is, I have it on my device right now

Ive heard theres a fix coming for that as well(hope so)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xterminater07:
The problem with the stock camera app was that it compresses images too much, they have lower the compression ratio but it is still not good enough. You can try it yourself to see what I mean. In broad day light outdoor, the images appears to be great but if you zoomed in, you will see it it just doesn't look right. The color is washed out as well, and you don't see any details. Looks like everything is smoothed out. File size is about 6 to 7mb or so. The low light shots are worst, it's about 3mb and there's more fuzzy stuff and lack of details/sharpness.

If you can dive deep into the apk to see what they set the compression to, and change that to possibly 0, and see what else needs to be changed. I spoke to Arnova8g2, who helped ported the gcam hdr+ to oneplus3/3t and he helped fixed the compression a bit on the older apk but I can't overwrite it no matter what. Let me know if you need any more info.

I believe the r2 is for stock. Could be wrong but if not touch was not working after booting into system. Touch did work in TWRP.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] arjunv:
For me touch is working but not fingerprint
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DespairFactor:
You need October update for it to work, also, if you are having issues on r2 with fingerprint it could be due to the OOM upstream, Plese try R1
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] arjunv:
I am on the October release, will try the r1

Thanks
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WARpig5:
Yup, I'm on October release, and touch works until I unlock the phone. Once I unlock it, touch stops working, and system process crashes.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] indian84:
If you can grab logs and share. Dmesg and Catalog.

Either flash back to R1 or use R2 with Magisk 17.3 Alpha
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Per [MENTION=5169465]DespairFactor[/MENTION] permission, here is the link for his rey1 kernel that i prerooted with magisk 17.3(bleeding edge builds) and already patched with twrp. Touch and everything works in recovery, so long as u are on October's stock firmware, i keep both my slots exactly the same, always. As should all of you. It is the easiest and in my opinion, best etiquette. So, with that being said I cannot forsee anyone having any issues if u are on October for both a and b. If u are only on October on one slot, I cannot guarantee touch in recovery will work on a and b both.

The download is in a normal archived zip, so please DO NOT try flashing it as a flashable zip. Its not. Download the file, extract the boot.img and then flash it. Either with fastboot, ex kernel manager, or in twrp as "boot". If u are not currently rooted already, after flashing this kernel the first rime, at first launch of magisk manager, you will be prompted to complete the magisk environment installation. Say yes, once it does so, your magisk manager will be current and the environment for root will be good.

Does this mean you are building your kernel with twrp included?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gk1984:
How? 14.3 crashed on me finally, but was after Night Light (orange screen) kicked on. I had like 4 reboots in a row. I tried updating to 14.6 but same problem -- Magisk Manager says it's not there.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
Well I ate my words...magisk 14.3 finally caused my reboots...I need root!!!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Wickidmasshole:
ive tried 14.3 and 14.6 and no reboots for me so thats weird... cant get twrp to stick though
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Alxoom33:
Use Magisk Manager to update and flash 14.6. Then uninstall Magisk Manager, reboot and install Magisk Manager 5.5 APK with Root Explorer or simillar. Reboot and go to Magisk Manager. Check About and it should say you have v. 5.5.

Same as above.

To get twrp to stick you need to Fastboot boot TWRP 3.2.1, then in TWRP flash the TWRP 3.2.1.zip and Magisk 14.6.zip It should be in the Magisk folder. Good luck!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sirdicholas:
Can confirm using the devs instructions, TWRP does stick with this kernel, however touch doesn't work even with magisk installed. Using 14.3 right now, I'll try 14.6 and see if that fixes that. Either way, just glad to have root on beta2 with android pay working!! Thanks devs!!!

*EDIT* Flashing 14.6 doesn't work, not showing installed in Magisk Manager... Back to 14.3.

Also Titanium Backup fails to start

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:

Can't get Magisk 14.6 to work, but 14.3 seems good so far.

I don't seem to have touch in TWRP.

But having access to additional schedulers and TCP congestion algorithms is great. These have been really helpful with BitO's kernel on my Nvidia Shield, and I'd been missing them on my new phone. :)

I'm wondering if you might consider adding a few of the more stable balanced custom CPU governors, such as smartassv2, pegasusq, darkness, nightmare, or alucard. These were also helpful with balancing battery life with performance on my old Note 5.
