Hi I see that the essential phone ph-1 mata is officially supported.

It is still on jan 27,2019 build so I was wondering if it is still being updated as the other official devices are on February now.

Does AOSIP have the notch settings available in the stock ROM?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheIceDragon:
Sorry to bother, are there any aditional steps/files needed to install this over a stock (pie february5th) appart from the given instructions in the first post (twrp installed boot twrp,wipe system/data/cache, flash rom, flash twrp installer, reboot system) ?? Thanks
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swiftbones74:
Well if you want Gapps and or Magisk. Before you reboot system reboot recovery and flash Gapps than Magisk. Then you can reboot system.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sk801:
I did a wipe and a re-flash, but the bluetooth problem still persists. Everything works when using my bluetooth headphones, but when connecting to my car (2014 Toyota Tacoma) the bluetooth still cycles through connecting and disconnecting. Attached is a logcat (split into two files since XDA said the original was too large to attach) after I reflashed the phone and tried again.

Hopefully this is helpful for someone somewhere as this is a bit over my head. Thanks!

Hello guys

I installed today with full install and -w and I'm experiencing issues with fp. Doesn't work at all.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] internationalistic:
I've been looking through the thread to see if anyone had the same question: How can the Google search bar be removed from the home screen and the app drawer? Also, I'm not interested in anything Google, so I would like to remove the Digital Wellbeing Menu from the settings (it doesn't do anything without gapps installed). Is it possible to remove these things? I've been through the settings, but havn't found a way yet. Any guidance is very appreciated!

did the official aosip for mata switch developers/maintainers? I am seeing a new build today.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aamadorj:
It could be possible, because the build is labeled "official". But it's not available at the official channels (https://aosiprom.com/ or https://ota.aosiprom.com/), so I think we'll have to wait for devs confirmation.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bfcb:

SELinux is back to enforcing!!!

Latest official build (2019-02-16) has SELinux back to enforcing and everything is working fine after a dirty flash over previous official using TWRP. Thanks a lot devs!!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] patterson??:
Guess its been a while since I have run custom ROMs and rooted a device. Just updated to the 2/16 build and no recovery involved just like a stock update. Great work on this project. Everything is rock solid for me.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hypnz:
My updater Doesnt show any updates.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JTD3:
i did the over the air and update and now the stock camera app fails to start. i cleared its cache and files with no luck. i tried to reboot into recovery to wipe cache but but realized that the update replaced twrp with stock recovery.

i may have to fresh install again
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aamadorj:
I don't normally use the Essential camera because I use a Google Camera port. I just checked if the Essential camera is working on the latest build and I can confirm it's not.

I guess the back to SELinux enforcing could be causing the issue, same as mentioned before at this thread. If so, switching to SELinux permissive can fix it.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JTD3:
i also noticed voice to text does not work either

Is this happening because I did the OTA update and will it have the same problem if i were to do a fresh install?

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

Is there and easy way to switch from enforcing to permissive?

will the affect other apps?

Since I have the 360 camera I use the essential camera app often. the 360 capability does not work with other apps.

I also often use the voice to text feature which is non functioning. Is that because of the enforcing too? Im trying to figure out how to change it back to permissive.

ive tried this along with two other apps. The buttons works but does not switch phone to actual permissive.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aamadorj:
Is your PH-1 rooted? AFAIK, root is needed to switch SELinux from enforcing to permissive (and back).

In case it's useful for you, I just uploaded here a copy of my PH-1 kernel image with TWRP and Magisk 18.1 for the latest AOSiP build, which can be flashed using fastboot.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JTD3:
yes its rooted. I'm about to go back to January build. would flashing this kernel fix the problem of the camera and voice to text not working?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aamadorj:
The kernel image I shared should be using SELinux enforcing, so I think it won't fix the issue with the Essential camera.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JTD3:
Is this something that will be fixed?

Voice to text and the 360 camera are things I use often.

I Went back to January as I had no luck changing To PERMISSIVE in February.

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JTD3:
Along with the stock Camera not working in Feb, is anybody else having a problem with "voice to text" not working either? The phone wont hear a word a say.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tbdj:
I am not having the issue with voice to text.... I've tested it using a few apps (messages, google app, gmail, outlook mobile, one note all work fine for me).

I am having the issue with the essential stock camera app though. Error: "The camera service has encountered a fatal error" and a reboot doesn't fix it. Hopefully a fix will come soon.

Good job on the ROM overall, love it! :good:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] darkknight200:
the essential camera app crashing is because the 2/16 ships with artemis kernel that is selinux enforcing. That's why the 2/16 build also bundles a new extra camera app that is based on los camera that works.

In my case, i just install my own gcam version and rely on it for picture taking.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] omegaorgun:
GApps 9.0 would not work, anyone know why that is?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JTD3:
Does gcam work with Essentials 360 camera attachment?

Do you think it might be possible to to mod gcam?

Otherwise some rely on Essentials Camera app to work for its 360 functionality.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tbdj:
Any logs? Did you get an error when trying to flash the gapps? FWIW - I just installed this ROM earlier today...with these:

TWRP:

GApps:

https://opengapps.org/?api=9.0&variant=nano

Magisk:

Steps:

1. wipe delvik/cache from TWRP

2. flash ROM and TWRP zips

3. reboot into recovery, install GApps

4. boot into ROM and add your google account

5. reboot into recovery, flash Magisk

6. reboot into ROM and enjoy

The only ROM use since I owned this device

weird though for me, voice to text also didn't work on the stock ROM that shipped with the phone. Right after I got the phone I went to Germany. While I was there I flashed AOSiP Dec.,and 'voice to text' worked. Everything worked perfectly through January update. I was surprised to find the February update AOSiP seemed to have disabled the 'voice to text' feature on my device again.

And you say it works on your phone? Hmmm

I reverted Back to January because now I can write this post using ' voice to text'

Anyone know if Android Auto works with this rom? I've tried the Pixel Experience and Liquid Remix and Android auto doesn't work properly on either. Stock is fine. Basically the setup part on the phone never opens and in the notifications it says android auto is running.

I did eventually go into settings -> Apps & notifications and clicked on "See All", then I enabled "Show system" from the menu. That allowed me to disable Digital Wellbeing, and it has been removed from the settings menu. As far as the Google Search Bar, I have had no luck. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "look at the side of your launcher". Could you clarify?

I would like to install the stock launcher because that doesn't have the search bar. Do you know how I could extract the stock essential launcher and install it on the AOSIP?

Thanks to both of you for your help.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chris_stan:
hello, see the side of the options of the launcher, the launcher on the stock version (can be basic pixel launcher, but not certain, may be a stupidity that I tell), I do not remember, I'm in custom rom all the time , otherwise you can see Lawnchair in his V2, you can remove this famous bar in the options of the launcher.

This is strange because voice-to-text worked on the December and January updates, but for me it does not work on the February update, I've tried other versions of ROMS with the same issue for February. It's weird because even the Essential stock ROM gives me same problem. but it does work on aosip ROM December and January.

What does the ROMS of January and December have that other ROMs don't that allows me to use voice to text?

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aamadorj:
AFAIK, OTA update will only preserve Magisk root. In order to preserve TWRP is necessary to install a new build with a dirty flash using TWRP.

To recover TWRP, you can flash this latest AOSiP kernel image which includes TWRP and Magisk using fastboot.

Yes! the basebands are different

January is 2.0.c4-M2.0.5

February 2.0.c4-M2.0.7

i did a test. fresh installed January again and microphone works again.

it boggles my mind

its bothers me

im currently back on January.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

AOSiP is the only rom that allowed the microphone to work on my phone (never had problems with phones calls)

Ive tried Stock and Two other ROMS.

It looks as though AOSiP dec and January have the right magic to make my microphone work again.

i fresh installed back to January

basebands changed

January is 2.0.c4-M2.0.5

February 2.0.c4-M2.0.7

i wish we can figure out why the mic only works with AOSiP january and december, and not stock or anything else

what could it be? makes my head hurt.

I believe the developers of AOSiP have the Key.

Good evening, unlike senoir under my name, I am far from being a senior in flash, M. aamadorj and more lively in my opinion.

Personally I would do operation tarasbulba (clean slate)

BTS of February

boot on stock

dev options: do not forget adb

reboot on bootloader

install twrp

boot to recovery

wipe davlik / data / system

flash rom + flash twrp install

reboot recovery

flash simplegapps + flash magisk

reboot rom

reboot rom again for functional magisk

There is definitely faster (my skills are limited sorry) look at the previous message of Mr. aamadorj on the firmware and its link

wish you a happy ending

good night

So far so good here. Using it on Sprint with a unlocked non-sprint PH-1.

I did notice a minor cosmetic issue.

Is anyone getting a black nav bar that covers up part of the keypad when in a call? Its bigger than the normal navbar and only shows up when in a call and using the keypad.

The keypad normally has a white (transparent) nav bar and is the correct system size before call.

GPS

FYI, in case anyone else is having this problem.

I'm on the FEB 23 build (haven't had time to update), and used Google Maps with navigation for the first time.

Maps works fine with GPS, but the navigation did not. It would instantly loose GPS signal when I started navigation.

I have PICO Gapps installed.

The solution was to install the UnifiedNlp (Gapps) (mozilla) package from Fdroid/Gdroid. After install I ran it, clicked on configure backends, and did self check. Then reboot. Works fine now.
