Well, from what I've read on this forum, it seems that the O2 software for whatever reason seems to run a bit better than the standard HTC stuff. If you don't want the O2 branding on there, hard-reset the phone when you get it and do a soft reset when it starts installing the O2 software. Hey presto, clean O/S.

From my usage of the Stellar, I've noticed a few things based on comments by other TyTnII/XDA users on this site.

1. Camera - Quality is reasonably good if you can keep your hand steady while you take the picture. The preview isn't very good but I think that's more the camera sensor constantly trying to re-adjust the brightness/contrast/colours more than anything else.

2. Screen Change (when opening/closing the keyboard) - I've looked at a few videos on YouTube showing some appalling screen change times. The Stellar that I have doesn't seem to suffer from this problem. It swaps between portrait/landscape extremely quickly with only a slight delay when going from landscape back to portrait.

3. Data connectivity - Overall, I haven't had a problems with data connections whether using Wifi or 3G/GPRS. Pocket IE is garbage but the new Opera browser is pretty good. Still not as good as the browser on the iPhone but it's certainly getting there.

4. Tomtom - The full version of TomTom 6 works fine with my Stellar. Set the GPS to Other NMEA GPS Receiver, 4800 Baud Rate on Com 4 and it works fine. To speed up Satellite acquisition times, I always use the QuickGPS software that comes with the Stellar.

5. Audio - I have noticed the occasional playback glitch that others on this forum are reporting although it doesn't seem to happen as frequently. There does however always seem to be a slight stutter when the audio hardware is initialised for the first time, whether playing back a MP3 or using a Ring/Message tone. I suspect this is a driver issue and may get sorted in time. It's certainly not a deal-breaker for me though.

That's all I can think of at the moment. If anything else springs to mind, I'll put another post up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WebAgents:
Intersting, so 1 up to the Stellar :)

Would another hard reset without a soft reset bring back the O2 branding etc.?

I will certainly watch out for that...

I will probably change browsers, I had a quick look at the SPB today s/ware

which includes a browser with tabs etc. I use IE7 so may go that way.

And those settings use the built in GPS?

Nor me, I won't use it much for MP3 playback, I don't think. Stuttering ringtone? I'll learn to live with it I'm sure.

I appreciate the effort, thanks very much.

Unless some-one comes up with good reason

to try and get one version over the other

I think I'll just wait and see which I get.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dazb2001:
Hi Bryan,

To answer in turn

Yes, a hard reset would bring back the branding unless you performed another soft reset after the hard reset (if you see what I mean :) )

Yes, they are the settings for the internal GPS. Initial satellite pickup after using QuickGPS (and using TomTom for the first time) was about 30 seconds.

Glad the rest was useful!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bearacuda:
I followed the LineageOS wiki to install 14.1 (v7.1.2) on my SM-P900. At the time I installed 'nano' GApps. But I can't get Google Duo to install, which is included in the 'Full' GApps install. Now that after the whole process has already been done, can I just download a larger GApps file and install it?

Thanks.

Update:. I decided to give it a try. Rebooted into recovery mode and installed full version. It worked fine but SuperSU didn't work. I had to install LineageOS update, open Gapps 'full', then SuperSU binary in that order in recovery mode.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] skimminstones:
for a ling time, through a variety of phones, i have used different email apps with no issues. Lately though, and i think its since updating to oreo, im getting the push notification of an email but it just wont open the body of the mail. Ive tried about 5 diferent email apps now and all are the same.

So ive gone back to the built in email app and emails are opening and showing everything fine but am i right in thinking it isnt push notifications? I cant see anyway of doing so, just to sync every 15, 30, 45 or 60 mins? Is this right?

Is there no way of getting instant push notifications of an email received using the stock huawei email app?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] skimminstones:
having major issues with email on this phone. Never had problems with any other phone and ive had many over the last 15 years.

No other email app will show the body of an email, the default email did for a while then that stopped as well. Ive uninstalled updates to the huawei mobile services, ive deleted cache and storage for the app and reset up my email. i get loads of errors at different points. Took about 15 attempts to re-set up my email as it couldnt connect to server when setting up. Then it kept telling me my password was wrong when i know it wasnt.

Eventually managed to set it up again and looked like it was working but now it wont send emails. Says something about not being logged in and gives an error code. I can only put this down to a buggy Oreo as i dont remember having issues before updating.

Anyone able to help?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] steven_computer_guy:
I have twrp installed on a T-mobile h918 lg v20. I ended up selling my v20 to my grandpa. It works fine, but he tried to take an ota and it got stuck in a twrp bootloop. I reflashed twrp recovery and the phone is working fine again, but it still wants to install the OTA.

I realize once I install the stock recovery.img it will be impossible to get twrp again, but my grandpa will be using the phone for the next few years, and I'd rather it be able to get system updates.

Does anyone have a stock recovery.img for the tmobile LG V20? I'd like the one from the 10q build if possible (that's what the phone is currently running), but I don't know how often the recovery.img actually gets updated so an older/newer stock recovery.img might work as well.

I understand I can use a whole kdz to flash the whole thing to stock, but the rest of the phone is already stock, and I'd rather not risk losing installed apps and stuff or making them unstable. I just want to flash the stock recovery.img in twrp.

Thanks in advance!

FAQ​

Q:

Does this support non stock roms?

A:

The kernel does not support ports, e.g. note 9 port, while it may have the possibility to support note 8 based roms. This kernel will never have AOSP support.

Q: Can you add X to the kernel?

A:

No, this is a personal kernel and therefore won't have what I don't want. This is a take it or leave it kernel, so if it doesn't have Spectrum, Flickerfree etc. then I'd leave it.

Q:

I lost root

A:

The zip contains no root, because rooting is optional. You need to flash Magisk manually after flashing the kernel.

Q: I have a problem!

A:

Make sure you use no Xposed framework. If we have that cleared, please post a dmesg and last kmsg of the moment right after the problem occured. You can use Syslog app for that from the play store.

Q:

Want my benchmark score?

A

: No this is no pissing contest thread who can reach the furthest.

Q: Can I donate you?

A:

No, I am doing this to improve my phone in the first place and sharing takes 2 clicks. Not into the money business by putting up a big ass donation button in the first post. Go spend your money on family or yourself instead.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Noxxxious:
The guy acts like he knows me, but I cannot even recall who he is at all. The reason I deleted the Telegram group a year ago is because users are a headache. I cannot say that of the 1200 all were a headache, but it are always those that speak the most, which stand out the most. So to say the group was at its best with the first 150 members and after that it became what every Telegram group is nowadays: a place filled with noobs and young minded people. After all I am not making kernels for the fame, donations or recongnition. All I want is a better kernel and the proper feedback helps with that, without the need of having a group filled with mostly nonsense.

Currently I have a private group with people that know how Android works and are fun to have around, who most importantly are sincere. All this gives me a clear mind and I am very happy with the people that support me on Telegram but also XDA ofcourse. Without the right people I could never had improved the kernel, like for example that thanks to a XDA user's logs the permissive banking reboot issue will be fixed next release (hope Samsung releases the new source asap, because R23.5 is a disaster). If anything is true is that my test builds are 9/10 better than what is released here on XDA, so leaking them wouldnt be that bad as using R23.5. This doesn't imply that I condone that someone would leak my test kernels. Lastly, there is no reason to ask me about joining the group.

I hope that I provided you with adequate information.

PS: I must admit that R22.1 is hard to surpass. Still havent made up my mind about using or dropping upstream.

- Wakegestures backported: Doubletap2wake, sweep2sleep, sweep2wake.**

- Fixed permissive state to work with banking apps (no reboots)

- Fixes on top of fixes and optimizations that will affect performance and idle drain.

* Still indecisive about upstream

** Enabling gestures will kill AOD touch and hard press to wake. Also use Mtweaks to enable this if you don't have the paid EXKM app.
