Thanks for the response! After some time of challenge, I have been able to figure out the launcher issue. Installed Magisk and rooted, uninstalled the stock Pixel 2 Launcher via Titanium Backup app. Then I could install the modified Pixel 2 Launcher.

PS: As I uninstalled the stock launcher replaced with the modded one, I don't know how to check the APK name. I have a screenshot of the backup properties, does this serve any help?

Is there a problem if I flash Firmware 8.3.8 rather flashing 8.1.4? Will 8.3.8 conflict with this build of RR 7.1.2 Rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] iamnotstanley:
You should use 8.1.4 (recommended by the LOS team) or 8.1.11 (newer, but it should work with my latest build (01-16)).

This is an 2 months old rom without any new updates, I can't promise any conflict-free behavior using this rom with a 2 months newer firmware package. It's literally takes 5-10 seconds to switch between firmwares, you should use the recommended one, if you have any problem, then try an another.

Honor 8 lite bootloop

Hi, am also having the same problem here! I unlocked the bootloader okay, flashed twrp okay, but when flashing SuperSU I got multiple errors at the end of which when I restarted the system my phone started to boot loop. Its now showing Huawei eRecovery but am getting the message "Getting Package info Failed". How do I recover from this???

Hey guys,

I have a German device and wanted to join the Beta. Unfortunately I am in New Zealand at the moment and I'm also using a NZ sim card. I can't register for the beta because of the sim card. Is there a possibility to get the beta with the NZ simcard? Taking it out doesn't solve the problem.

Thanks and merry christmas to all of you.

For those of you who use Second Space. I want to use it plain as my guest mode with nothing really running in parallel. What will it do to the stellar battery life I'm enjoying now?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] iay30465:
second space has the same battary and speed impact as using fdu encryption in android, if you already have your android encrypted the battary and performance impact will be the same
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] hongjiu923:
I have used second space for about 3 weeks and for me there was a significant impact on battery life. Without second space.. I can last a full day with moderate usage. With second space running and switching back and forth, my phone is usually out of juice at around 3-4pm, having started my day at 8am
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] bobcov:
I have used 2nd space for almost two years and never ran out of battery in a day. I charged around 11:30 pm and usually had about 32-60% remaining. Heavy GPS use could get me to about 20%. My usage is non-standard however. I use an ancient Blackberry 8100 for voice and text. I used data-only sims in the note 3 (snapdragon), no voice calls.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
You've mentioned a Blackberry and a Note 3. So what do you use the Mix2 for? Do you own a Mix2?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] bobcov:
Oh, "Mi" bad. I missed that the question was for a specific phone. I made the assumption, unwarranted, that all Xiaomi phones would reflect similar behavior from running 2nd space. I also own a Mi 5s, but it eats battery so fast while doing little or nothing that I don't even take it out of the house. It has 2nd space active, but it was a poor performer before 2nd space. I think it is because of the Snapdragon 821. It's a sportscar that just can't slow down.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Interesting. That's the first I'm hearing of any Xiaomi phone having poor battery life. Thanks for the info on 2nd space.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] bobcov:
Many people have reported symptoms identical to mine: very hot operating temperatures, very short battery life. Others have tried various MIUI versions, various non-stock ROM configurations, various power and app configurations, all to no avail. Very interestingly, two people have asserted the problem is the process running the fingerprint reader. One reported that the heat and battery problems ceased when the qualcomm biometric service was halted (not sure how that was accomplished). As for installation of misbehaving apps, this phone was this way out of the box. I literally do not use it for anything beyond running the Xiaomi vacuum, which in contrast to this phone sucks positively, and an ebay app. I stopped using Chrome a few days ago, because it showed high idle use, but still the battery life is very short. I have a Redmi Note 4 here which is at 48% battery as I write this. It was last charged on the 2nd of June. It has been sitting idle with only periodic use. During the same time period, the Mi5s has required many full charges.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadCow809:
Update: A working solution is listed below for reference.

A detailed tutorial for encrypted and rooted Nougat OOS users on how to flash Oreo OxygenOS without running into the infamous boot loop issue.

Step 1: Remove all fingerprint & pin from the device

Step 2: Backup everything on your PC/Laptop

Step 3: Reboot the device to TWRP bootloader

Step 4: Using a PC/Laptop, flash Blu_Spark TWRP via ADB command

Step 5: Reboot device to TWRP

Step 6: Wipe dalvik, cache, system & internal partition

Step 7: Format device

Step 8: Copy Oreo Rom & no_verity_mod file onto your device

Step 9: Flash Oreo under TWRP

Step 10: Flash TWRP again

Step 11: Reboot to recovery again

Step 12: Flash Magisk Beta for root (I used Magisk beta 14.5)

Step 13: Flash no_verity_mod file

Step 14: Reboot into Oreo Oxygen OS

Your device is now decrypted, rooted and running the latest stable Oreo OxygenOS build.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seeing as a couple of forum members have messaged me regarding the official update of Android Oreo, I would like to make a proper discussion thread for it.

I just want to make it clear that HatRiGt has made an outstanding effort by making a tutorial thread. -> ([OFFICIAL] [Stable Oreo 8 ] Oxygen OS 5.0 Update [Tutorial-Root] [Mirror] by HatRiGt)

With that said, I believe the title is somewhat misleading. Since a lot of members are under the impression that this Oreo update will be a simple and straightforward process like all previous Nougat updates, except for it's not.

Stock OxygenOS

Rooted with Magisk v14

TWRP Recovery

Device already encrypted

Almost everyone with the device configuration listed above has run into some sort of serious issues, such as boot loop, file system decrypted/corrupted, or a complete data loss.

So far, it seems like the few groups of members that have managed to update their device without any data loss are either users that have flashed the Oreo Beta rom, or users with a non-rooted & stock recovery device. Almost everyone else is facing some form of issues.

I understand that some people have suggested that rooted users should first format the internal storage, before proceeding with the Oreo update. I personally feel that it is an inconvenient method of OS update, since many of us have a huge collection of photos, media files and app settings etc... to worry about.

The purpose of this thread is to address the aforementioned problem for rooted OOS users and to come up with a solution, so that everyone can enjoy this latest stable release of Android Oreo.

Any comments or thoughts are welcomed. :)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Malcol13:
I had some issues trying to dirty flash mine. Didn't know about others' troubles until after the fact.

I ended up with the black screen and blue notification LED. Everything encrypted and unable to go anywhere in recovery mode. Had to do a full wipe and image load; I also am not sure if I had been running my backups for a while, so this could be a lesson learned.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DionysosD:
Still experiencing the exact same problem.

The problem is, I can't transfer the zip to my phone to flash.

Under TWRP, any computer recognizes it as a mass storage, but even with adb push/sideload it doesn't work.

Does a full wipe help with that problem?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Malcol13:
I saw the same thing. Unable to copy the zip file until I did the full wipe, which means no chance of recovering what was on it, but I'm cutting my losses.

I'm now stuck on the configuration stage, it's just sitting on "Just a sec..." for forever it would seem. Trying to update on Christmas day was a bad decision.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fards:
Root *shouldn't* cause issues. But that really depends on what has been changed by root

Twrp will though.

Flashing stock recovery should allow the ota to work without issues.

Having said that it's a major update so factory reset isn't a bad idea anyway.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Serris:
I had the same idea, encrypted, rooted (no system modifications) and running twrp, I flashed stock OP5 recovery, and updated through the ota and ended up in a bootloop.

I did a nandroid to a usb before updating, but I still lost all internal storage files :(
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Javi22:
so...the no verity is only for decrypted users right?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadCow809:
I appreciated the suggestion, but there are a lot of users with loads of files stored on the device, along with various other app settings, having to wipe the storage or perform a factory reset can be really troublesome. I believe that OnePlus pushed through this stable OTA update with the intention of a seamless update. Endless boot loops and data loss wouldn't be an ideal method of an OS update.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] igoorsoouza:
The way I installed the beta 2, was removing the pin and fingerprint before installing magisk through Twrp, at first I got stuck with bootloop, but made it come back to life after installing the ota through Twrp and booting back, removing my pin and then installing magisk.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadCow809:
Okay, so I've been thinking that maybe it's possible for us rooted Nougat OOS users to update to Oreo stable release without any form of data loss.

I've listed the steps to avoid any potential confusions.

You start with stock Nougat OxygenOS (Encrypted) with Magisk v14 (root) and non-Oreo compatible TWRP (e.g TWRP 3.1.1.1)

Flash an Oreo compatible TWRP (e.g Blu_Spark TWRP)

Boot up the new Oreo compatible TWRP

Flash OreoBeta 2

The phone should boot up OreoBeta 2 without any data loss

Dirty flash the official Oreo stable release via the new Oreo compatible TWRP

Flash Oreo compatible TWRP again

Flash Magisk beta for root access

Flash No-verity file

So the basic order of flashing should be Nougat OOS -> OreoBeta -> Oreo Stable

Any thoughts on this?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sontjer:
Are you sure flashing Open beta2 won't compromise the internal storage? I bet no one affords to loose previous photos, apps, settings, etc without full backup.:p
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:
I've triyed this. All good till i flash 5.0 & Magisk & no verity....
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] khalisz:
Hello there and Merry Christmas. :)

I faced to this issue too, fortunately before to update to Oreo. I made a full backup of my data.

My OP5 was running under Oxygen OS 4.5.15 Nougat 7.1.1

Rooted with Magisk V14.5

TWRP Blue_Spark 3.1.1

First I have updated my TWRP to Blue_Spark 3.2

And then I've installed Oreo Oxygen OS 5.0 from TWRP with the full zip.

After the update, my op5 has been bricked and locked on blank black screen with a blue led.

To unbrick my phone I used a tiers softwate to install Hydrogen OS first.

After that I could installed TWRP Blue_Spark 3.2 and then flash to the full zip Oreo Oxygen OS 5.0

My OP5 works as well but...

Right now I'm blocked, Google who usually sends an SMS, does not offer me. Only the authentificatorator or the security code. : /

Be careful, print a Google code to access your account when you go to install Oreo.

I'm waiting for Google to do the right thing.

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BenSow:
Isn't a full wipe required even for Oreo Beta builds? Also thanks for starting this thread I'm really eager to jump into Oreo but would love it if no wipe happened.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MadCow809:
I think it's possible to flash the Oreo Beta without a full wipe. And yeah, I've got way too much stuff on my device, so I can't afford to wipe my storage.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fards:
I never suggested either.

Oneplus don't test using twrp or using root.

Their prescribed ota route, as pretty much every other OEM, is unmodified system partition using stock bootloader.

Twrp or root will affect those and can cause bootloops.

Obviously there's a chance with so much diversity in installs that there can be an issue arises.

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a power-only microUSB cable to charge my OnePlus One as in my experience, power-only cables have charged my phone much faster than cables that transfer data as well (and this includes the stock charger). I have a tiny micro USB cable (about 10 cm) so I'm looking to buy something longer. Which cables would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I have purchased the flipkart smartbuy USB cable worth something around 200₹. Using the original charger, the current output is around 1800-1900 amps. So works fine and take 1.5hours to completely charge phone from 0 to 100%. Here's the link

[ONE Accessories] Rifat94:
which rom is providing 2000mah charging speed? thanks in advance:) :) :) :p
[ONE Accessories] Chinaroad:
You get 2A but minus the amps that the phone consumes when it's on you'll get 1600-1700 at the begining and the more the battery is charged the less you will get because the more the battery is charged the more it becomes like a resistance so it will get less amps.

The cable i'm talking about is like that too, you can even check the reviews on the net

Even TugaPower™ O (LineageOS 15.1 based ROM) gives full 2A charging current, and available regardless of screen status (on or off) when charging. This is an uncommon feature, and not present in all ROMs. Be aware that you must have a decent cable/charger (possibly the original ones), or you will experience slow charge, caused by random fluctuations in charging current.

For all of you that ever thought of changing the boring looking* lockscreen clock on the S6 Edge

I've done it and it was easy to bring it upto today's look. If like me your phone isn't rooted then all you need to do is theme the thing.

I tried over 20 themes and this one gave me the result I was looking for .and it was cheep cheep..ie it was* free.

So here's the results with the theme and Clock2017L and AOD my S6 is running sweet and looks like any upto date phone of the day.

The theme i used is crap looking on its own but it has the clock change needed to change the lockscreen clock.

I customise my phone using Nova prime, Clock2017L font, pixel icon set, Sachin Kumah53 AOD and Xwidget pro.

This gives me todays look on a phone now three years old. No root required. Happy days.

What's your thoughts.
