[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyler-T989D:
Hello,

I have this Oukitel K5000 with Android 7.0 on it and I have an issue with the microphone.

Sometimes people are complaining that they hear me from far away or really quite and also when I record something, with camera or sound recorder the actual sound is really quite and there's a background noise, like a hiss, all the time.

I have tried to fix it through Engineering mode, and things seem to have improved a bit, but not that much.

Is there anything I can do at all?

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] amajamar:
OK, I’ve ordered and am awaiting arrival of my unlocked Pixel 2 from Google. I am on Verizon GFUDP and I plan on unlocking, rooting with Magisk and installing the tethering module. Then I plan on enjoying the phone and pretty much don’t plan on fussing around much with it.

I plan on unlocking before I do anything, including installing my Verizon sim. But do I have to allow the phone to do any upgrading prior to the rooting process? Also, can I (should I)hold off installing my sim until everything is rooted and up and running?

I was also thinking of using the Skipsoft toolset, but not sure if it is necessary. What are your thoughts on that?

Also, regarding lockscreen security on the phone, is fingerprint or password required? Can you use one or the other? I never use a passcode in general so wondering how it works.

Any "must have" apps to take advantage of Pixel 2?

Any help or advice is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Diesel_Jeremiah:
I purchased two Pixel 2 phones, and did the same thing you're planning on doing. I also have Verizon.

1) Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the device; Do this first. If you set up the phone prior to OEM unlocking, you will lose everything you set up.

2) Installing the SIM at anytime won't affect anything. When you install the Verizon SIM, some verizon apps will download. You can delete them if you want.

3) I did not use skipsoft. If you have a basic knowledge of ADB/Fastboot you will be fine without it.

4) The finger print reader is crazy fast. Also, setting up the phone it asks for a pin. Try it with the security of both to start. If you dislike it you can disable it in the future.

5) Apps I like/use: Tasker, Magisk, Titanium Backup, Custom Navigation Bar, Hide "using battery" notification, AdAway, Nova Launcher, Swipepad (where I put the "reboot" shortcuts), Reboot (Material Design) [ I made shortcuts to enter recovery, bootloader, etc], 1weather, Digilux (screen brightness control from the fingerprint reader), and Naptime (Have seen some battery length increase, though slows down notifications)

6) Not really apps, though @Tulsadiver made mods via Aroma from here: Various Mods for 8.1 December Update (Added Screen shots to show black notifications, battery icon removal, and clock w/day & ampm)

7) I like the Snoke kernel found here: [KERNEL]Snoke Kernel by @DespairFactor

There is a guide here: [GUIDE] Unlock/Flash/Root for the Pixel 2 (walleye) by @nathanchance

I laid out steps in this post here: [GUIDE] Unlock/Flash/Root for the Pixel 2 (walleye) - Post 127

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Lightn1ng:
You should.

Doesn't make a difference.

I'd do it manually via the command line with fastboot and adb - knowing how to use these tools is very important in case something ever goes wrong.

You can use both.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] amajamar:
Nice! Thanks! No need for TWRP? I was going to install it.

Was there a "thing" regarding which version of Magisk to install? I thought I read something somewhere about issues with the newest version.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Diesel_Jeremiah:
I have TWRP installed as well. I didn't comment on it since you didn't ask about it.

NOTE: You have to boot TWRP img, then install TWRP ZIP. Search threads, you'll find the info.

NOTE 2: You cannot install TWRP, Magisk and Kernel at the same time. Best way is to install everything is: TWRP ZIP, reboot. Flash Kernel, reboot. Flash Magisk, reboot.

As for Magisk, I'm on v5.5.3 and V15.2 without issues.

I've been upgrading through Magisk direct install without issues.

NOTE: You will get a pop up that your system has an issue and contact the manufacturer after Magisk. Do not panic, it'd because Magisk is modifying the DTBO img. It does not harm anything.

I also installed Viper4Android from Magisk.

Version 2.5.0.4 = works normal and processes correctly.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] amajamar:
Awesome! What features does the Snoke kernel give? Any issues with it? Do you need to flash the factory kernel to take an OTA?

I never used Viper4Android before. What does it do?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Custom Kernel: Android Basics 101: Understanding Kernels – XDA Developer TV

I feel a bit snappier response and better battery life. There is Snoke, Flash, and ElementalX to name a few.

If you've loaded TWRP at all or mounted system rw; OTAs will not work. You'll have to use the factory images.

I've had no issues with the Snoke kernel. Just ensure you use the proper one for 8.0 or 8.1.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] SGSII_LEDnotify:
Hi All!

So I'm just about to get this phone after a loooong time with my HTC One m7.

I'm not a massive fan of google as a company and their tracking so for my HTC I did the following:

Rooted, installed cyanogen

Installed minimal gapps package

Installed Greenify to hibernate apps I don't use often

Used Privacy guard to limit permissions for apps

I also disabled google play and all sorts of other things.

Now I'm not expecting to install cyanogen on the 5t but what about all the other stuff? Are there better solutions 4 years later?

Ideally I'd like to get the 5t setup similarly to how I had the HTC.

I'd welcome any thoughts from those who know ;)

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] the Doctor:
Because Cyanogen is gone. What was left of it became Lineage OS which is a continuation of Cyanogen, and it has Privacy Guard. Lineage OS for the 5t is currently in beta, but should be working soon.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5t/development/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3721193
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] the Doctor:
Also, with battery optimization built into Android now, you probably don't need Greenify.

With Lineage (or any other custom ROM), you can forego Google apps or do a minimal install. Check out your options here: http://opengapps.org/
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] SGSII_LEDnotify:
Thanks, so it sounds like it'll be a similar procedure then.

I'm hot on the trail, I found this page detailing how to remove google from a phone:

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...-google-from-your-android-experience-0162547/

I didn't realize I could essentially get away with not even installing play store and the article shows some replacement apps for the stock things I use most like calendar, calculator, mail etc.

So I need Lineage if I want privacy guard, however I do see the way android handles permissions has changed:

https://www.howtogeek.com/230683/how-to-manage-app-permissions-on-android-6.0/

Just trying to form a plan of action really, for example on my paid apps (swype and nova launcher) can I simply copy across the apks?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] SGSII_LEDnotify:
I guess more pertinent questions would be:

Do I need Lineage in order to completely remove google from the phone?

Are there equivalents to privacy guard or are the controls in the stock rom enough?

Will Lineage use the OP features like slider control and camera app?

The stock rom seems pretty snappy and optimised for the device, can I get the benefits of Lineage whilst sticking with the original OS?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] temporarium:
Paid apps may depend on Google services for verification.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think Lineage 15 had Privacy manager in it yet? It is in Lineage 14.1.

As for the OP, as the 5T arrives, you can unlock it, root it, and remove what you don't want. You can disable (or remove) the Google apps, and the OnePlus services, as well as block them from Cell / Wifi connectivity if you wish. You have some of the privacy features that are built into the stock android, but not as fine as the privacy manager that was included in Lineage.

This is why I had hoped Lineage 14.1 would be worked on, it's also the only way we will get an official release right now (Especially with the similarities to the 5 which already has an official release). Unless Lineage 15.1 is close to release? Either way 15.1 is still missing several features from 14.1.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] SGSII_LEDnotify:
Thanks for this.

i've learnt a bit more since last posting about blobs and shims etc. ;)

What I'm seeing is that there are tradeoffs for ROMs in terms of functionality and features, particularly in relation to the camera.

So like you said, rooting isn't an issue and then I can use titanium to remove google from the phone and replace with alternative apps. This would also give me the chance to access the playstore and copy over my paid apps. I'm not sure how 'completely' I can remove google this way, I assume completely, if there's no account on the phone and no apps then that's it isn't it?

So that looks like plan A for now, although that way I lose the Privacy Guard features I really like.

Plan B would be to go with Lineage to get PG but then I lose the OP camera app. I don't know if you get face unlock, slider control and other handset specific functions with this ROM.

I really like the 'per-permission' approach to Privacy Guard but you seem to lose a lot in the tradeoff.

Thanks again for the input.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
There are, but it's getting there. You have to remember it's a new device. The 5T is first device I've bought that did not have official CM / Lineage support (or at least a fully working version) already out at my time of purchase. The only reason I bought it is because I know there will be a version at some point. I bought two 5Ts one for my wife, and one for myself. Mine sat in the box for a few weeks unopened as I really didn't think I would like it without Lineage.

So the Camera, quite frankly Snap in Lineage stinks on all devices. It takes pictures, and functions as a camera, but not a good one. On my Nexus 5X, I have to use a modded Google Camera, on my Wife's and son's old Honor 5X we use Open Camera. Even on the 5T you'll see in some situations some people are getting better pictures out of the modded Google Camera. Even on the OOS, I've been playing around with the Google Camera, and prefer it's pictures in some situations as well. They are still working out some bugs with it, however again a new device, they will get these bugs worked out. We are all still essentially "early adopters".

As for the privacy manager it's gone a little down hill in Lineage. See this Reddit Thread: Link Here.

I posted actual screenshots of the differences here. I posted these in a couple different threads here on XDA, but it didn't go anywhere.

As for what you can do in OOS, it's actually fairly similar to what's now available in Lineage. This is from the 5T in the latest 7.1.1 update:

Same thing, so I blocked Dolphin from being able to Change system settings:

All those pages are available for system apps as well. So if you want to block Play Services, or the Play store from the Internet you can. First thing I did was remove a lot of the Google apps from the phone, as well as the OnePlus stuff. Most of this stuff, I removed with TitaniumBackup, and I just removed it entirely rather than freezing it.

As for FaceUnlock / Slider control, that stuff I'm sure will get figured out. However, we're still just to close to launch, there will be stuff that won't work. Heck we don't even have a selection of brand name cases to choose from and people are wanting fully functional custom roms... Give it time, it will be sorted out.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] SGSII_LEDnotify:
Again, all valuable info, thanks.

So eventually everything will be sorted out? Is that a reasonable expectation or will there always be things that are 'compromises'?

I see that OP has no intention of releasing the camera 'blob'. I also saw the chinese ROM comes without gapps, maybe that's available somewhere with a language pack?

It's a world I only briefly dipped my toe into when I first did my HTC to get cyanogen so I don't keep up on all the latest news and developments so any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Bit worrying to see the lack of maintenance on PG in Lineage though, that's a red flag for me, basically PG is the only thing keeping it in the mix. From the videos I've seen custom ROMs are slower than stock too.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
I think everything will be sorted out. It will take some time. It's still way too close to release date to expect things to be fully ironed out, but things are already moving at a good clip honestly.

This is correct. Unless some mods the camera to work some how in a custom ROM you are out of luck. They already have Google camera partially working, taking better pictures in some instances with OOS and custom ROMs. Yes it still has some issues, like needing a separate app for front and rear cameras. Again it's still early we'll have to give it time. I don't see the OP camera coming to custom ROMs, I see a "third party solution" of some sort being a solution here.

I don't know... You can pretty much remove what you want from OOS as well as block what you want from connecting to data / wifi this would make me happy enough until Lineage gets up and running. Once Lineage is released, as with all their builds, it will be without Gapps.

I agree. To me one of the biggest reasons to run Lineage is the privacy guard. I'm hoping they have just been shifting time and energy to get Lineage 15 ready.

I would disagree with this. Custom roms for me have always been faster and had better battery life. Admittedly I typically run custom kernels as well and spend time tweaking things which can impact battery life. I also tend to strip unnecessary things out of the OS as well. It's just like a PC, if you have a bunch of stuff starting up at bootup and running in the background your performance will be slower. I guess everyone's mileage will vary though.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] SGSII_LEDnotify:
Thanks, like you said, I guess it's still early days but hopefully we'll get some really comprehensive ROMs with good workarounds (like the googlecam app). I appreciate this is a lot of hard work with a lot of trial and error for the devs.

Looks like rooting and 'optimizing' the stock software is plan A for now. I'll investigate replacements for PG, if there are any.

I'm the same, I always tear a windows install apart, disabling services and optimizing the rest of the OS as needed. I was surprised to see the ROMs performing slower than stock (in terms of opening apps at least) but those were the videos I saw. I expect with time everything will fall in to place and patience is the key for now.

I guess I'm just excited to finally get a new phone after 4 and half years ;)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] SGSII_LEDnotify:
Btw, I'd be interested in a heads up on the BIB. Again, it's not a world I'm familiar with so if you could point me towards some knowledge it would be appreciated :)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
On most of my current devices I've been using the ElementalX kernel and the EX Kernel Manager. It's what I'm using on my 5T as well, although I'm still tweaking the settings.

This is what I used on my Nexus 5X, Irrelevant for the 5T, but sort of will give you an idea of what I changed, and things I tested?

I know so far on all my devices, including my Nexus 5X (which supported fast charging, OEM charger was a 3 amp charger) my battery always lasted longer on each charge being slow charged (0.35 - 0.5 amp) so this is generally what I charge all my devices at. I haven't even used my "dash charger" yet. Although I guess I should try it for a few cycles and see if the same does apply to this device.
