I switched my governor to Conservative. I was watching the cores in EX kernel manager and while using interactive governor the cores stay pegged at Max frequencies on the little cores. I also put CPU boost for all cores in the upper 1400 this phone moves quick too.

Every time I read Xposed, I completely ignore the comments
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stryver:
Yeah, Xposed isn't much worth the hassle anymore. Nothing really supports it's functionality, at least, not like it used to be. Mysterious bugs, battery drain, dreadfully long boot times. For what? YouTube adblock? Maybe if gravity box supported Oreo. Maybe not even then...

Edit: upon the subject coming up, I googled around. Turns out they ARE starting to support Oreo.

But still... ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kakabobo:
what the procedure to install elementx kernel on this rom ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Char_G:
Ohai!! Just passing through :D
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] indian84:
Get yourself an essential phone. ;)

Cannot find the setting option for fingerprint security unlock? anyone facing above issue?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
So much this...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
Ohai there :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
Should be settings>security>fingerprint
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rignfool:
Percentages mean nothing without time frame...

If the kernel is using 65-70% over 5 days between charges... Then hot damn you in good shape...

If it's using that same amount in 5 hours (which Fox wouldn't let happen) we have a problem...

More than likely... You putting the phone in airplane mode has some poorly coded app going crazy... Or it's the job scheduler getting angry...

Don't forget... Cell towers help with location... Regardless if you're on WiFi...

Before trying to squeeze battery life from a phone like you're used to having to do... Let it be... See what's being a *****... Then fix that...

The heavy hand isn't as required as it used to be
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Char_G:
I'd like to, but can't afford it just yet. I'm keeping track of how development is going for it though :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sl1deflo:
Great ROM! :good: Though, I'm still getting different bugs each reboot: one time my notification sounds don't go off, next my bluetooth randomly disconnects from my car and reconnects, then the phone won't lock automatically when screen turns off, random FCs and suchlike... but I still love the ROM.

:confused:Any info on when or if we shall have OTA updates, double tap to wake, NFC/SElinux fix? And, for some reasons I get notifications on my Gear Fit (via OpenFit App) in Chinese... Any idea why that might be? Worked fine in stock.

Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work!:cool:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GryphonBR:
I'm aware of all that. Kernel was running through my battery in less than a day with barely anything doing anything, restarted and it's now normal (3% battery use throughout the day). No apps reported as using anything exceptional during that crazy period of kennel madness. Location is deactivated, and matter of fact cell towers help as much as WiFi or, occasionally, even less so. And I'm not trying to squeeze anything, just found a bit unacceptable that the phone was supposedly idle the whole day but kernel would keep it awake and run through about 70% of battery for no apparent reason.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AsianDuck:
any ideas on how to get viper4android here ? i tried installing them thru magisk and it didnt worked. set my selinux to enforcing for the v2.9 and it still didnt work. drivers wasnt installed .
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] indian84:
Stop spending all your money on cookies..

:D
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AsianDuck:
how do i turn off the immersive mode in some apps? Youtube etc
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] indian84:
[MENTION=2903821]xlxfoxxlx[/MENTION] - Installed the ROM today. Loving it so far. Quick question about updating the ROM when there is an update.

As TWRP cannot decrypt 8.1, how do we update? I would like to have my phoneencrypted.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
Encrypted is fine just when you are going to update you will need to remove any secure pin/pass/fingerprint lockscreen or you won't be able to access your data in twrp. Then when set back up you can reenable secure lockscreen.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
Just a lil update, managed to get enforcing going for next build will be looking into the updater but can't promise as I wont hold back release tom for it.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
You just mean some apps going full screen and not actually using the immersive mode right?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AsianDuck:
yes , is there any way to turn them back to normal?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
I am looking into this just might take a little as I get a lil behind doing both the device side and ROM side work
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] indian84:
Great news. The next build come tomorrow right? We are on weekly release?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aamadorj:
Any chance the flag "config_enableAutoPowerModes" can be included at the next build, in order to be able to use Greenify shallow hibernation mode (https://greenify.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/828357), [MENTION=2903821]xlxfoxxlx[/MENTION]?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
Yea will deff look into this for ya, and yes Sunday releases every week :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
And will get OP updated with some of the info that has been posted threwout thread to help make it easier for all. And thanks everyone for the help especially [MENTION=5137082]TJSteveMX[/MENTION] :)

Anyone got AdAway working?

I rooted with Magisk 15.3. But can't seem block any Ads.

I toggled support for syatemless hosts in Magisk menu too..

Any suggestions?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] savo83:
Adaway working fine for me mate with just default configuration and root enabled in magisk.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] indian84:
It didn't work for me. So I tried settings in Magisk. Let me see hat I can do
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hominine:
Same here; the latest build from F-Droid is working well.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thatguy222:
In lieu of AdAway, use the Magisk module available right in Magisk's Module feature called Unified Hosts Ad Block.

I lost the ability to skip my music through bluetooth in the car using the steering wheel control. I have a 2014 Nissan Altima and it worked on 7.1.2 but not on Oreo beta 2. I'm not sure what to look for or what changes need to be made. If anyone knows, please help.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kakabobo:

Fixed for next build

Does this still not pass Safetynet coming from Beta 3? That's mandatory for Snapchat to work.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
Snapchat has worked without issues here
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Toyeboy:
Okay I was thinking Safetynet trips thanks unless that just an unhidden root that causes problems with Snapchat. Is there a good reason to go from Beta3? Any idea if video over USB C to HDMI/display port works on this rom?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shooterlgk:
New build is up for people lurking like I was lol
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:

when ready ill post and will update op a little
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shooterlgk:
Ah sorry man. Was just excited seeing the new build. Lol

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blakeatl:
Coming from 1/22. Can I dirty flash or this requires a fresh install?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dandan2980:
He just said that he was going to flash himself and then update the OP. He wants to insure that it flashes before the masses dig in.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PixelatedVision:
any chance for landscape video to behave like stock in the future? love coming back to illusion btw, remember it back on my G3 :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blakeatl:
Yes and he posted (uploaded) it......
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
this one didnt make it in this week but am deff looking into, and welcome back :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
na i will announce when it is ready if you choose to flash is up to you but if i find any issues build will be replaced

just about done but i am doing a clean flash to make sure everything is kosher so will be letting everyone know
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
ok posts updated and build is ready, boot.img has been updated as well

can always try dirty but cant garantee

if anyone has a issue on dirty flash where settings strings are all messed up let me know i know how to fix without having to clean flash
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
ok and of course right after i say ok i find out if you are on a sprint network id advise waiting probably 30-40 mins for a new build it seems a apn update killed a few for sprint.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kakabobo:
what the step to dirty flash?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TJSteveMX:
Dirty flash is simply flash next update without wiping,

Even tho some others consider dirty flash with a wipe cache, Dalvik before a flashing.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shooterlgk:
Did the camera break to? Or is it just me
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Goombaa:
Essential camera didn't work for me either. Torch also didn't seem to work when tapping the flashlight in notification center.

I should also learn how to logcat before I start coming on here and saying these things. ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shooterlgk:
Just noticed that too. Weird. It was all working fine last build.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nomesrjp:
Try flashing the latest version (modified 2018-28-01 21:42). I've just done this and the camera functions.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
yea camera was borked on origional i passed out before build was done but its fixed now
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
My apologies, but I haven't been keeping up on the custom ROMs. Would someone please tell me if "Okay Google" is working on these yet? Thank you.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] indian84:
Nope. Doesn't work..
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aamadorj:
Everything is looking good after a dirty flash

So far, everything is looking good after a dirty flash of latest build, even the settings strings, [MENTION=2903821]xlxfoxxlx[/MENTION]. Thanks for solving the SELinux Enforce issue.

I noticed default CPU governor is now schedutil. I'm definitely curious about battery life and performance with this governor.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
Not a prob, yea well see how schedutil is and go from there
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Goombaa:
Trusted Face smart lock hasn't worked for me the past couple of builds and is a feature that I like to have enabled, especially w/ AOSiP's auto-unlocking feature. Here's a logcat, looks like libfrsdk.so is missing.

Are you the guy [MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION] is always threatening to have cut someone's thumbs off?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Goombaa:
LOL I don't think so. I don't know who [MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION] is or why someone's being threatened to have their thumbs cut off.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rignfool:
There's a joke in there...

Sorry you don't get it... I'm hoping someone will
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TJSteveMX:
Josh always say that on every RC:

As always, don't share this on XDA. THIS IS AN RC BUILD. With that said, provide some feedback on DevsBase if you can. Otherwise, I'll send some goombas to cut off your thumbs.

Safetynet pass failed on latest build. Snapchat not working. Anybody having the same issue?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ElfinJNoty:
Are you rooted?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jim380:
Yes. I was rooted on last build and everything worked fine though.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
Safetynet fails here(looking into) but Snapchat works fine
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jim380:
hmmm. that's weird. I tried uninstalling and then reinstall. still no luck
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
That is odd I've never had issue with snap :/
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aamadorj:
No problems passing SafetyNet checks here, after updating to latest build by dirty flashing.

UPDATE: I should add my PH-1 is using Oreo Beta 3 firmware, just like reported by [MENTION=8717521]nicoconepala[/MENTION].
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nicoconepala:

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] N10ash:
So I have an issue while playing games. Touches won't register unless there are two simultaneous touches on the screen. For example, I want to tap a button, I have to have one finger resting on the screen somewhere else and then I can tap the button. If I want to zoom in, then I have to keep one finger on the screen in a corner or something and then I can zoom in with two other fingers. Games this has happened in: Brothers in Arms 3, Hitman Sniper, Cover Fire, and Drift Max Pro. These are all the games that I have. They all worked fine on Lineage 14.1 and Oreo beta 3, but for some reason not with this ROM. This was the case with the 1/28 build as well as the 1/21 build. Besides that, this ROM is awesome.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jim380:

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
Having some very odd WiFi issues, flashed from OB3.

WiFi cuts out like crazy over and over, so I reset my network settings and disabled mobile data. Then connected to WiFi again and things were fine for a while, but after adding another network and turning data back on, my WiFi repeats having seizures.

And now there's a folder in my internal storage called 'wlan_logs’ that has some rapidly growing log files - 30MB each then a new one is created.

Edit: not sure I can post a 30MB log here but I'll try and replicate and pull a log from a logcat app.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ElfinJNoty:
Maybe try to turn off aggressive wifi handoff in developer settings? Or in wifi settings, advanced, turn off avoid poor connections.might be struggling to distinguish which speeds are faster and switching back and forth.

Ya have a log file..... Probably useful to share?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
I don't have those settings active. And here's the logs piling up, trying to get a shorter one by replicating the WiFi seizures and finding it on LogCat. I even tried attaching the bigger logs and it just errors out.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
Here's a log, not sure if the error is in there, I can try and replicate it again if needed.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chris_stan:

DirecTV Now beta

Guys latest build is running super smooth! A big THANK YOU to the developers! My main problem on any nonstock ROM is my DirecTV Now beta app crashes when playing a channel. This is happening on the latest build with SELinux Enforcing, and with Magisk hiding root status from app. I could never get the beta version to work on LOS either. The nonbeta version works fine but has no cloud DVR. Please see if you can make any sense of logcat. Thank you again for this amazing ROM. If I can't figure it out, I will just use my tablet to watch the beta version.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surface13:
Not sure if you got your issue resolved or not, but I'll leave this here... https://apn.gishan.net/ You won't find the essential ph-1 in the line up, but you can still choose android, and then find your carrier for the settings you want/need.

Issues upon reboot

First and foremost, I love the rom. I have used AOSiP for years, on and off, and I cannot express how happy I am to see this come to the Essential phone.

Issue I am having:

After installing and without attempting root, everything works fine. However, when I reboot, the phone loads through the boot image and when the lockscreen comes up, it gives the message that it is shutting down and then goes into the recovery. Rebooting repeats the process. I have tried to install the 01/22 and 01/28 rom and I am coming from OB3. I am not sure how to capture the event but will gladly repeat the process if there is a command to capture the reboot from the working rom to the inability to boot.

Again, I love the rom and look forward to getting it working on my phone. Thank you for your ongoing development and device support.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TJSteveMX:
This is odd, we have it all working fine here, may help if you describe your process of flashing the rom and what recovery you use?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fftlambet:
I agree that it is odd.

I unlocked my bootloader, booted into bootloader, fastboot -w, fastboot flashed the twrp_mata_11 recovery, booted into the recovery, pushed AOSiP zip to my phone, wiped data/system/cache, flashed ROM, booted into the ROM, setup my account. No attempt at root. Works fine until I try to reboot. If it falls again, I will use another device to capture images of each step and post them.

I will reattempt tomorrow as I need to have a working phone overnight. I might try installing to both slots as well.

Hope this is comprehensive enough. Thank you for any assistance and time on this matter.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TJSteveMX:
Sound about right your steps, I can't think of anything wrong on your steps tbh... Yes let us know later, must be something else.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fftlambet:
I will post how it goes. I will also do a fresh download of the recovery and ROM as well as lock and then unlock the bootloader. Perhaps I made a mistake. I have been up for almost 35hrs with only a nap here and there. Regardless, it is coma time for me.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TJSteveMX:
Don't lock the bootloader unless you're back on stock, fastboot -w is enough to clear everything.. people make a mistake of locking the bootloader on custom ROMs don't brick it
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fftlambet:
Understood. I am back on the Oreo beta 3, but I will stick with the fastboot -w. Thanks for the advice and warning. Again, thanks for the help!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chris_stan:
hello, do you have the same state, when using a theme?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xlxfoxxlx:
yea the stuff we have rom side for subs is still a work in progress and this seems to be oone of the issues still facing
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chris_stan:
ok, thanks to you for the information, Good luck for the resolution;)

flawless with the root, cool thank you:good:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fftlambet:
Initial update. After flashing in twrp, switching the active slot, reflashing; I go to reboot and get the message that "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"

I am assuming this is not normal and I did not include it in the original post because I frankly forgot. I continued with the reboot and was able to set up my account. I let the phone sit while it restored the apps over wifi. I did not set up any security (which I did have before: pattern plus fingerprints). I reboot and it makes it through the "electric owl" and the green AOSiP and restarted without issue. I am going to run it for a little while and make singular changes followed by restarts to see if a particular setting was causing the issue. It is worth noting that I did grab a fresh download of the recovery, rom, and MD5sum before attempting. Maybe it was a simple mistake I made before. fingers crossed! Thanks again for your time and input.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TJSteveMX:
Np, and the message about no OS is normal... We all get that
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surface13:
For anyone wanting to know, AA is working for me now. There is Technical Service Bulletin A16-059 that fixed the issue. I took the car into Honda and asked them to update the HU for the mentioned TSB.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mhajii210:
Hi guys. I'm on the latest build. I just wanted to report that under data settings, preferred network type, global comes up as LTE. In the previous build it showed global when you select global. Otherwise data is working fine on T-Mobile.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surface13:
I can confirm this is happening for me as well.

Running current build with OB3.

On a side note to the devs; Will we see a list of known issues in the OP?

Will you be updating this when Essential releases the 8.1 Beta 1 in a couple/few weeks?

Thank you in advance, and keep up the good work!
