Make it cleaner.

Format system, cache, dalvik/ART.

Perform a factory reset on TWRP (to wipe data without formating internal storage)

Flash 5.0.4 full zip and go from there.

If all goes wrong, although it shouldn't, formating data is the last resort so make some backups.

Frame rate is great on my end.

Hum, I have been connecting to my 5Ghz AP and didn't find any issue.

Strange.

I really have no idea why whenever I clean flash ob4 stock or custom Oos audax ob4.. I'm doing clean flash as well but everytime reboot to recovery.. So frustrating compare to Op3.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lusfcosta88:
Hey guys. Anyone experiencing random locks with the OS? I have OB4+Magisk16+Xposed-sdk27. Sometimes when opening a window, the screen image will freeze. I think the system is still responding since I can hear lock/unlock sounds and notifications sounds. However, no screen intereaction is available. Once I disabled minminguard the problem became much less freequent so I'm pointing towards someting related to xposed or graphics. Why graphics? there is also some corruption in google photos as well as this only happens during window animations...

Stock Camera Picture quality is very bad on OB-4, lot of paint effect
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaplan:
If you format /Data you have to boot stock kernel without root, after you booted once flash TWRP again.

Booting stock after flashing a ROM is a good practice even if you don't format /data to rule out other problematics that sometimes come to the equation.

Yes, OP3 was kind of more easy to handle on such matters.

Once you get the hold of it there shouldn't be much difference though.

Appart from FBE on OP5/T vs FDE on OP3/T it's all the same.

I did find FBE more tricky at first but I wouldn't trade it for FDE now TBH. It has many benefits.

Damn, that too confuse haha.. But if I decrypt it.. Wil lathe problem solve? If I flash Oos zip from oneplus forum, and without flash root.. Does the encryption issue happen which mean wipe all my internal as well? Because I got this issued from Op3 previously.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] rakesh595160:
Blue spark u r using what is ur average sot?

Did i need decrypted device to flash the kernel?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaplan:
Flash OOS full zip, boot. You are now encrypted.

Flash OOS full zip, flash noverity (I don't know which one, never ran unencrypted) if you want to run without encryption.

Personally I have no interest in running unencrypted.

Security and privacy reasons.

If you go encrypted, reflash TWRP and root if needed and further mod what you need.

You can PM me if this isn't clear enough.

Check the kernel threads, I posted some SS there before.

But by the looks of my battery stats you should get an idea.

SOT depends a lot on personal usage, cell signal coverage, apps... It's very personal.

One must always compare it with his own usage.

You don't need root to flash a kernel, just unlocked bootloader and twrp. You need root for a kernel manager but not to flash a kernel. Adaway will need root access.

You need to disable your lockscreen password before entering twrp and it won't ask for a password.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Flashing instructions are slightly updated for users still facing bootloop or fear of data loss, flash with confidence.

Dirty flash from Beta 3 or Stable mode works fine, else clean flash is recommended if coming from a custom rom.

Thank you all once again for your active feedback and support.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] okEric:
Beta 4 has been working great for me. Really loving the extra screen space thanks to the gestures instead of the nav bar.

The only bug I've found so far is related to notifications. Specifically it is with the Google now weather update I get occasionally. When I drag down the notification bar, the weather icon wiggles side to side really fast.

I made a screen capture of it happening. Has anyone else seen this?

This rom is far from perfect. If you're using both Sims the one you're using to receive messages does not work unless you allow data on it.

Battery life is bad.

On many games the games are resetting to their default values or not working at all reinstalling does not help. Also some of the widgets resets to default from time to time.

At play store there are some graphical glitches when just opening more info from apps etc.

WiFi and mobile data just hangs for a minute or two...

Also pixel and nova launchers' Google page has glitches.

Just to name a few, phew:D

On non rooted stock rom.

Could someone please check something for me on this beta?

Download android auto app (no need to plug in car)

And open a 3rd party music app in android auto mode. Example would be I Heart Radio. Open a station and listen for a minute or two.

Let me know if any issues. I'm at wits end trying to get 3rd party apps to work. Every time, music will play for 20 seconds and the app will crash

First party apps work fine, Google maps and Google play.

It's been an issue since oreo and custom roms have the same problem.

I've tried everything to fix this BTW, I may make a separate thread for this, but I would really love to know if anyone else is having this problem

Thanks guys

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] captainstarbucs:
Thanks friend. I might make that thread after all. I seem to be the only one with this issue and it persists through factory resets and custom roms. Worked in Nougat, but no longer in Oreo. :(

Edit: I went to APKMirror and looked for an older version of IHeart and it worked!

Tried Plex next, and it still crashed. So I decided to sync a song to Plex instead of streaming it. That actually worked, and for some bizarre reason, streaming works now too. Going to be testing extensively.

Still having issues with TuneIn, will try older version soon.

Thank you for suggesting APKMirror

It took me ages to figure out that Titanium Backup can only restore on this ROM if the App Processing Mode is set to INTERACTIVE, which is a pain if you are restoring plenty of apps, but at least it works.

The bigger problem is that I cannot FREEZE (or even uninstall) most apps though, and no search on any forum (including OP Forums) shows a fix for this. Am I the only one with this issue? PLEASE HELP...
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] iamterence:

However, your experience is not the same. While your phone/ROM hasn't been treating you well, mine has. OB4 is awesome for me.

I'm not a fan of underclock, so no. Such a great device deserves the best user experience one can get with no trade-off.

blu_spark kernel stock settings.

Fastlane enabled on both clusters for that extra fast and ultra smooth experience you can't find anywhere else.

I then tweek some vibes, cut the haptic feedback for gestures, change led speed and intensity... I quit blocking wakelocks, I keep forgeting about that feature, but might give that a go in the meantime just because it's there to tinker with.

Battery runtime and performance are "top notch"?, all my iPhone X friends get amazed by the speed they find testing my half priced OP5T, true story)

I don't understand what is "beta" about this rom. Flawless. I love the navigation that has improved since the last beta. I just can't fault it. Best OEM skin ( if you call is so) you can dream off. Well done OnePlus.

Argh no, just thought of one flaw: the Brightness when on Auto mode is too conservative to my liking. Not bright enough.

Small one.

I was just curious. How are you reporting bugs? Is there a more organized bug reporting system for the beta or is it just this forum thread?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaplan:
I noticed this also, I don't use gestures, it's also happening with Navbar enabled on my end.

The app I see it on is EXkm when battery monitor is enabled, the notification is persistent so it makes it hard not to reproduce this behaviour.

Just adding in, since you already passed it to the development team. :good:

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] captainstarbucs:
Did you boot for the first time before flashing? Or are you flashing the rom and immediately magisk?

I've had problems with the latter. It's much better to flash the ROM, restart, let it boot, and then go back into TWRP and flash magisk and whatever else

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] -fluffy-:
here is how i always do wen i flash

make a backup in twrp

then i alway make a total wipe (not internal)

then i flash rom

restore data backup

wipe dalvik cache an cache

install twrp.img again an reboot recovery

wen it boot into recovery again i flash magisk an then reboot system

Actually I'm on audax 3.0 which based on ob4 and rooted. I flashed arter kernel which compatible with 8.1 and I lost root after flashed.. So I boot into TWRP and flashed magisk.. And bootloop.... ?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrosMo:
Try using the Magisk uninstaller before flashing magisk again.

I've had the same issues starting with ob3, but with the

LINE app. Sometimes, notifications and messages will not come through until I open the app. I'm on OB4 and still having the same issues. Doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes I'll be greeted with a few old messages when opening the app. It's annoying actually.

I think it has to do with the OS killing the app after a period of time. I have LINE set to no optimization in the battery settings. Still having the issue.

Also, I no longer receive update notifications from Google play when there are new updates for my apps. This also started in ob3. I always have to manually check for new updates and again, greeted with several updates. I've cleared cache and data from Google play and that helped only time after but went back to no notifications. I have notifications checked on in play settings mind you.

I hope OnePlus can look into these issues.
