I will try.

I am not trying to say that i dont believe you

I only know that a lot of issues are based on not good flashing, apps not updated for a specific android version, restoring appdata from older versions, installing old apps instead of checking if there is a new version.

Also i realized already couple of times and bumped my head.

So, sorry if i attacked you personally. Thats never my meaning. I am trying to help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ns1207:
Because of this bug you are thinking of going back to 7.x hmmmm

If you press the autorotate button from the pulldown menu to go to portait and put it back to rotate then it is fixed again

If others with this rom and the paid version and dont have the problem and the free version has also not the problem... How can you blame the rom for this issue, i dont get that.

The problem is that when i pull down the menu rotate is on, i push off and on again then it is fixed for only that app, when i switch to another app it is not working again.

It is very annoying to toggle at each app through the day.

I am not blaming anyone, but when i flash back to 7 the problem isn't there, i would only like some help because i tried everything.

Stock apollo x (firmware upgrade) - online update to last version - flashed latest mad 7 rom (firmware upgrade) - flash through latest recovery mad 8.1.0 with gapps dalvik and cache clearing, problem is suddenly there.

I dont get it anymore, it is driving me MAD :p

btw what is that about paid version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kheradon59:
Hello,

Made another try following cvegreen post. Here are the step I follow on my VAX:

flash stock,boot,flash madOS_7.1.2_apollo_lite_20170819-SPFT,boot

problem "turn on screen" freeze/lag with 7.1.2

reboot recovery,flash new recovery,reboot recovery

"turn on screen" freeze/lag also on recovery.

wipe dalvik,cache,system,data,internal storage

flash madOS_8.1.0_apollo_lite_20180102, gapps pico.

reboot.

"turn on screen" freeze/lag again.

For information, I just discover that with Oreo I can't respond or reject call by slide up or down on the screen.

On 7.1.2, I can't unlock screen with slide up but I can respond with left or right move.

Is there some screen issue on VAX ? Need calibration or other thing ?

Thanks for your help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Hahaha

Not all replies are for you.

The paid version is about PowerAmp. A musicplay-app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
Are these all the steps you made? You do need reboot your system mor often if you posted al your actions. Sometimes reboot in TWRP, more wipes of cache and dalvik are also needed. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74968174&postcount=43 here explanes our friend [MENTION=631556]RalphMalph[/MENTION] step by step how to do. Take your time and do it step by step. In max 10 minutes is it done and running good. If your phone is not running good after you did it al the way is ther sommething wrong with your phone. So first wipe it all, also internal storage, than with Sp flashtool install the original Vernee ROM, after that, instal also with SP flashtool the TWRP for Android 7.... Than again with SP flashtool the latest version of Android 7.1.2 but dont make a mistake chose here for " firmware update". Than update your TWRP To the latest one posted on 02/01/2018 and the latest Android 8.1 also posted on 02/01/2018 and the gapps you want. But look in the post from RalphMalph for the right way. Read it easy, take your time and it wil go right. If you did al these steps corectly and your VAX dont run good, is the fault your phone and not MAD.

Are ther users who use Substratum? If i want to use it, says my Substratum that there is a Oreo add. If i click on it, cost this me 1.99€? Is this correct? Or do i have a wrong Substratum App?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
Unfortunately is my trick that i did yesterday for my battery drop from 28% to 0% not the right ting. Today dropped my phone from 26% to 0% in once. So That is not wat i expected.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kheradon59:
I have followed the steps of the post from RalphMalph, get oreo working and I always has the "turn on screen" freeze/lag.

I make some tests. After flashing madOS_7.1.2_apollo_lite_20170819-SPFT, I boot recovery and have the "turn on screen" freeze/lag. Same problem with the Oreo recovery.

So I think it comes from may be the preloader. Is it possible ?

Now I am back on stock and have no "turn on screen" freeze/lag , so I don't think it is a phone problem.

Any Idea ?

Just after
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
I do believe also that it is a device problem. And no i do have no idea, sorry mate.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] M4N135H:
Is anyone else experiencing random screeching sounds from the speakers? This issue was present in previous builds as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
Yes sometimes...but not too often
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Yes, very sometimes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ns1207:
Yes on my vax with 7 & 8. Indeed now and then.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] caliban07:
Yes, sometimes during phone calls.

Besides, I've installed everything from scratch begining with the stock rom. My phone's proximity sensor worked fin untill 7.1.2. Once I installed Oreo it stoped working again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
Yes i do have and had this issue. Pretty annoying indeed. Never related to the ROM, but possible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chinaboeller:
Flashing

Question to the experts concerning the flash and re-flash orgy described above. What I don't understand, why should I go back to the original stock rom and start from there when overwriting everything with the latest build of version 7.12 and the spft tool afterwards? Doesn't make any sense to me, or do I miss anything?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Just to reset everything back to stock

But it is normally enough to go back to 7.1.2

To be sure all procedures ate followed correctly.

Just to prevent errors with flashing and the method how to flash.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
. What I don't understand, why should I go back to the original stock rom and start from there when overwriting everything with the latest build of version 7.12 and the spft tool afterwards?

Stock rom , it carriers the official support by the firmware vendor, device manufacturer and the mobile service carrier..

Without the last stock update firmware (last BT we say on some devices) on your device before flashing any custom rom, we will have problems(very likely) such as proximity sensor, wifi,mobile data, Bluetooth, gps, random reboots,modems etc.

(If you see here , some users say : I have problem with proximity sensor....why?how do i fix it?) The answer is simply : go back in stock rom , take all updates & after flashing the custom rom from the beginning & correctly...

sry for english
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giesama:
Hallo. When maps work for 2-3 minutes, the system restart. At 1-2 games I used too. Did you must have to files or logs? When yes, how?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
Same thoughts bro. Flashing back stock ROM and then after that 7.1.2 does not make any sense. It just prolongs the process. Everything patition would be wiped anyway.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
There must be sommething be left over, because if you dont do it like told. It go wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
here i am back, with positive news. I had 2 days a drop from 28% to 0% and once from 26% to 0%. So wat did i. my phone turned off at 28% and i restarted every time till my phone did nothing annymore. Than i charged my phone, the indicator noted than 0%. my opinion was first YES this is it. But the day passed and he dropped from 26% to 0%. Today i rebooted my phone in recovery and wiped cache and dalvik, and guess wath, i have now for the first time since 8.1 a battery drain slowley to 0%
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
and mados 8.1 wants (mandatory) 7.1.2 before flashing ...wipes will not delete the 7.1.2 with this logic?

another example: paranoid android (and all custom roms) wants mandatory the last dev firm by xiaomi before Installation....why?

don't wipe never Internal storage ....

only wipe sytem/data/dalvik/cache is enough

when you install the rom update you must have the previous version of it...this does not apply when you install the entire rom ...But !

It plays an important role if you have on your device the last firmware before flashing any custom rom !

sry my english is for kicking Lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
8.1 has same partition details/allocation as that of 7.1.2 BUT different from STOCK. 8.1 needs a base partition like that of 7.1.2, so 7.1.2 is really required. The thing here that does not make any sense is going back to stock before 7.1.2. you can go straight to 7.1.2 then to 8.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:
ok...maybe you know better
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
In almost all the cases it is good to start flashing with 7.1.2 (with spft with option firnware upgrade).

Just in case you have weird things, like the 5Ghz wifi not working or proximity sensor, you can try flashing the stock first.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
Can you explain the science behind that? Flashing Stock before 7.1.2 does not really make sense to me. I think it's just a waste of time if you want to go 8.1.

I just discovered my proximity sensor is not working properly. I am looking forward to fixing this. If you can explain how your solution works, I will be willing to start from stock again. Thank you.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

I use substratum. It works fine but it requires root if you don't want to pay for Andromeda.

But you can easily root your phone: Install supersu from Google Play Store, reboot to recovery, flash SuperSu 2.82 SR5 zip, boot the phone, grant root access to Substratum.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
Thanks mate, it works indeed perfect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
You're welcome, friend. I need your help as well. I also experience batt drop from 20+ percent to 0%. In what percentage did you wipe cache/dalvik?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Scodera:
Stock rom: Proximity Sensor OK

7.1.2 Sensor ok

8.1.0 Sensor ok

Magisk install Sensor fail....

Anyone can confirm this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
I hope someone can confirm.

My proximity sensor works with 8.1 and supersu... No Magisk... Magisk is too big, too much addons/things.

By the way, which version of Magisk did you use?

---

This is why everyone with bugs/issues should test it first on a clean rom.... No apps installed, no data recovered/restored.

Still it is possible that it is a rom issue (but at least it is known then why/how)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Scodera:
Magisk 15.2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
RalphMalph must be the luckiest person in this thread. Imagine, only him is the one who happened to perfectly install the ROM. Only his phone works perfectly good! He does not encounter the bugs some people report to have, especially the proximity sensor bug. That man must be an incarnation of a god, and we are just a bunch stupid people who do not know anything about flashing a ROM. Hail, RalphMalph, hail!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Scodera:

I have testet again with supersu 2.82:

Proximity Sensor don´t work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cedricboquiren:
How do you determine whether the Proximity Sensor is working or not if you are not in a phone call?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cvegreen:
First you must restart your VAL(X) till the dancing Oreo lady dont commes annymore after your phone is turned off automaticly after the battery drop. I had to restart more than 25 times before the dancin Oreo Lady did commes annymore. So that is bootup, entering your PIN code and fingerprintcode , than after a few seconds the phone shows battery level 0% en shuts off. Restart again and again till the dancing Lady dont commes annymore. Than put your phone in the charger. Your phone will bootup and turn off a few times and than commes he with a 0% battery indication. Let the phone charge in one time to 100%, unplug the charger and then may you wipe the cache and dalvik when you like do do it. The time does not mather i believe.

Its a work for more than a half hour, but it is worthit .

Sorry for my extremly bad Englisch , i speak Dutsch.

- I had the 5ghz issue (solved by flashing cortectly).

- I have the rotation issue (not solved yet, its a bug in the rom)

- I have sometimes a noise (not solved yet, app or rom issue)

- I have an issue with 2times notification-sound when I receive an email in the outlook-app (not yet solved, app or rom issue)

But I never encountered the proximity issue.

Sorry for being so lucky.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Scodera:
Yes working good, bevor i install magisk or supersu….

What can make?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Which supersu version? 2.82 sr5?

Flashable zip or apk or playstore?

On a clean rom or on the same rom you installed magisk also?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Scodera:
Supersu 2.82 from HP AS ZIP...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RalphMalph:
Supersu 2.82 doesnt work good

You need 2.82 sr5, Google it (not saying that it solves it)

-The 5 ghz issue is still a not solved, but not a issue for me, so i keep the 2,4 ghz wifi

- rotation issue never seen. He turns en returns fast.

- I have also sometimes a nois and i guess it is an combination of ROM and app issue. I donwloaded today the SuperSu.zip file and he screamed it out. I installed SuperSu an the screaming sound was over.

- I use Gmail app for mail and i get only 1 notification. pherhaps a issue from the outlook app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Irish_Dude:
Just installed the latest MAD ROM and it's working like a dream.

Lightning fast, no freezes/hangs, great battery life and the fingerprint sensor is super accurate

The ROM is absolutely gorgeous

The only issue I can see is that the proximity sensor doesnt work as reported by others.

Great work guys

Oh.....Can someone please post the link to the correct super su to flash to get root access.

I had a look on google but there are so many different versions

Thanks again guys :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TJFA81:
Hi,

PROXIMITY SENSOR

I had that problem when used 7.1.2.

Solved re-flashing the rom.

Now I use OREO flashed directly Over the used 7.1.2 and never had that problem.

Maybe the problem is really when flashing 7.1.2.

(It was my experience and its my newbie opinion that you just need to re-flashing 7.1.2 and next 8)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daitalos:

As you have to full wipe, of course you're going to "lose" your data. Make a backup before... And read the installation instructions.

Why not test it on your own? That would be great, wouldn't it? Why just rely on others when you can try it on your own?

That attitude is not helping the community. We should all be together in reporting what is broken.

So I installed a Google Play services apk from ApkMirror.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] _kankea:
I have some issues as well... Flashed the rom as per instructions (twice, in fact) and after a few minutes of use the phone gets veeeery sluggish...

And the proximity sensor does not work. To be precise, sensor has worked before; it gave near/far values but e.g. screen always opens even if the sensor is covered. Now it doesn't react at all.

EDIT: Checked the sensor data with AIDA64 app and previously near/far values were 10 cm/0 cm. Now they are 1 cm/0 cm o_0

EDIT 2: After triple flash the sluggishness is now gone.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rabanero:
Thanks MAD for this Christmas gift!

And now, big issues than forces me to go back to N :) :

- When device enters in suspend mode after some seconds of inactivity, it is not possible to wake it up almost all the times I tried. Pressing power button repeatedly makes device to vibrate (because of shortcut to camera), so it is working on background, but screen does not switch on. Only way is long press to power button and reboot. That makes device unable for daily use.

- Trying (hardly) to keep device alive all the time, and just forcing shutdown and wake up quickly (it works more often if doing quickly) I noticed a big down in interface performance (slow typing, button responses, window changes, etc.) It is like some trash is working in background and kills the device.

- Magisk Root does not save "always" root permissions to apps. It is supposed that Magisk works well on other 8.1 devices and I have read in this thread that SuperSU does not root neither. Magisk Manager also hangs when trying to manage root-allowed apps.

Some other "minor" issues/bugs:

-No embedded email app.

-No way to configure battery percentage inside its icon.

-Chromiun still does not recognize Google account when starts the first time.

-My device is not 4k capable, but Camera now shows it is. Trying to record in 4k just does nothing (as expected).

Hope a quick patch to solve major issues and give to Oreo a new chance.

Many thanks, MAD Team!

EDIT: I forgot to say my test environment:

-New Oreo TWRP (no problem, except long time to wait -around 2 minutes- until menu appears, same as previous TWRP).

-Full wipes and optional F2S format (did it before, but again now to follow instructions).

-Installed in queue from beggining: Oreo ROM + 8.1 Gapps + Latest Magisk.

-Installed after first boot: Ad-Away + Rollback of old apps (including Tile Root for real inmersive environment)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JVTNET:
I'm really appreciated the work from MAD Team, but something is clear, this ROM it's not stable for a daily use, according with all feedbacks.

I hope that in the future will can use the new android version.

- Boot into TWRP again

Hmm I tried it a couple of times and this was also an attempt I made, but I'll give it another try now. Actually my second biggest problem is TWRP 3.2.1-0 which is freezing in flashing.

Use the "Superuser.apk" that is included in your downloaded Superuser-Zip-File. This is the latest available version developed from ChainFire.

You can find the apk in the "common" folder.
