I'm having some trouble with the finger print gestures, I can get double click on power for camera to select an stay open an apply. Except when go to select swipe down on fingerprint sensor for notifications it won't even open without saying settings had to close an d will not let me choose it. I am also missing developer options, which I did have when I went from 4.6 to 4.7 FH, up untill I recently updated with the most recent update for 4.7, I also have no more status options like I used to have for instance, edit is gone I can only hold down the settings button in the status bar an goto it, it will no longer go down to the normal 10 icons in view, I have to now swipe right to select the option I want. No notifications only appears when I swipe down not one notification has appeared since I updated. Whew out of breath,

Also, yes also my navigation buttons, only the go back button works out of the 3, even the new buttons I add won't select either they just flip around and nothings open. I'm using a nexus 6p with a elementalX kernal. In the status for my build it used to say official an now says weekly. I even just flashed the most renct vender for Nexus 6p thinking that might do the trick. Nope. So penny for your thoughts please, luv a challenge.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NepoRood:
I thought the fingerprint thing was fixed, does the navbar still act up on stock kernel? I"ll look into these after work today...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wes'side:
In fling mode I can't get all 3 of my buttons to either, I went back to the official 4.7 and nothing changed when I reflashed, should I clear the cashe an delvic after I did or no, I didn't not sure if that makes it better so usually unless it clearly say to after the flash I don't need to I assume. The quick settings in the status bar were key, to me at least, but it no longer drops down nor shows the 10 quick setting options, just 5 an gesture right to show the rest, major bummer, 4.6, for me at least never had any issues in my side other than the essentials not allowing me to view firewalls, that's the only thing in 4.6 other than that I conciderd 4.6 to work flawless an very little if any apps closing an not opening when I was on it but I do get the occasional error message from things, in fact, some apps need to be reinstalled now for some reason after they first worked when I installed them, then they didn't after the update on 4.7, even after the Aug update no change.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ibovangeffen:
Okay, thanks for clearing that up. :good: I didn't know that. A reddit thread for LineageOS mentioned that IMEI's could get wiped by developers of ROM's. But perhaps I should start backing up my EFS partition (the nexus is the first phone I have which sometimes wipes my IMEI).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wes'side:
It's been a mission to get why certain things aren't working as they should, oddly enough I just wiped the whole thing an added a fresh new start and everything is good for now, the navigation buttons are good, the status bar returned as did developer options, the only thing is when I go to the gestures I can't get the fingerprint swipe status bar down to even open without it closing saying settings stopped still ? but I have got everything else working great.

ROM Update!

FireHound v4.8

(See changelog(s) below)

As usual, it's been too long since the last update. That's because most of the team has moved on to bringing up FireHound v5.x (Pie) sources and for their devices.

However, a couple of us will continue to support Oreo a little longer, at least until v5.x is more stable.

This update brings in the August security patches and a few more additional features.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] vineetreshmi:
after installing the rom instead of booting up it 1st tries to encrypt data , after which it boots up. I dont want to encrypt the data. Is there a work around. When i try to stop the encryption and restart to recovery mode the twrp asks for a password to decrytpt data. I have been flashing many roms but this is the 1st time i am encountering this problem. Appreciate any help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Flash a kernel that does not force encrypt at the time of flashing the ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] vineetreshmi:
Could you suggest any kernel for this rom. I had stopped flashing kernels a long time ago usually use the one which is provided by the dev of the ROM. Appreciate the help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Not really, I don't mess with custom kernels, pretty sure all don't force encrypt though. Make sure to read their op's
[Nexus 6P Android Development] vineetreshmi:
Thanks for the help. Will look around for custom kernels.

By the way a last query, what happens if I encrypt the phone. If I have to flash a custom rom again does the twrp gets encrypted again. I had that problem once where the tarp got encrypted and had to wipe the internal storage to get the phone back in working condition.

Appreciate the help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
I've never used a nexus device that was not encrypted, and no I don't have to decrypt to get into the recovery, it auto decrypts even if I have a lock screen password set. AFAIK, the only reason I've heard it asks for a password in twrp is if you have the device to require password on boot
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NUNsLAUGHTER92:
Franco doesn't force encrypt. If you wanted to flash and update this rom and don't want it to get encrypted you'll need to flash Franco before rebooting
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Flashing Magisk will also disable force encryption (don't know if you want to be rooted or not).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jep56:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] NepoRood:
Did you flash it using fastboot or with TWRP?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jep56:
TWRP, and this is the first time I've had a problem doing it with TWRP
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jep56:
DUH!!!!!:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops: Flashed "e1" instead of "h1"....my bad
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NepoRood:
lol, it happens. I always rename mine, to vendorAug.img, for example. Same with other images :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shaikhalid007:
Does force encryption decreases performance of device???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Encryption decreases performance very negligibly. You are not likely to notice a difference either way.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
As stated above, no. But, people with there tin foil hats on too tight might say differently, min/maxers and what have you.

The biggest change it will impact is file transfer speeds, like copying files from your computer to your phone. That realistically will be a noticeable , but not that huge of a change.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rob420p:
Must say getting better battery life after this update thank u very nice
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Shabbirkt:
does this rom supports OTA Updates?? and will it be updated to Android Pie??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NepoRood:
OTAs are a bit finicky, AFH doesn't handle them very well, so it's best to just watch this thread for updates. And yes, Pie is in the future...

Not good will need a new battery soon :(..I wanted to point the ROM did not do that.just wear and tare
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NepoRood:
Sorry, no

Batteries are pretty cheap, make sure you got a heat gun handy. It makes taking the device apart a whole lot easier....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rob420p:
On a good note jumped up to 75%
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rob420p:
Thanks for the advice I haven't decided if I want to got that route yet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wes'side:
Your in for a treat opening up that phone, to mention you'll also need a kit to do the job right, I mean you can halfssa it if you know what your doing an got the supply to make it work, the heat gun part will not be necessary you can actually make a situation go from normal to whoops I shouldn't have done that, ? I never understood the heat gun idea, I mean why applying heat to any device to make a program work on the device itself in a fashion that makes no sense I mean, CAn You see people with a heat gun on a motherboard to make it reset its self or a certain type machine to make it work better,?? just watch a YouTube video how to do it the right way, never know might do some that causes the phone to say to you, wanna play a game!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AMKhatri:
Awesome ROM, man!

Thanks for your hard work :)

EDIT:

I love the reading mode :cool:

Is there an option to disable the orange navigation and status bar color when in battery saver mode? Couldn't see one in Ashes. :confused:

Very fluid and stable so far except for Lightning (browser) which keeps crashing for me. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nytrikx:
Is there a way to get rid or change the subtitle under the Ashes section in the Settings?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NepoRood:
I was against "Lightning Browser", but, I got out voted, lol (I use Chrome) And no, you can't change the SB color when battery saver is on...

Nope, you're stuck with that (lead dev is a pot head, lol)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rob420p:
As a fellow pot head bravo
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AMKhatri:
Lol. Well, can't complain.. Thanks for your hard work, devs!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rob420p:
On a good note I'm taking it to beyond electronics 95$ includes the battery that way if something gets messed up they will fix.I've used them over the years always was happy and they said they will use a OEM battery which we know they don't make or equivalent 2 week warrenty I figure if its any issues I'll notice within 2 weeks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] greentag:
Anyone else having an issue with the filehost? I can't grab the latest, no mirrors....

[Nexus 6P Android Development] sage of six paths:
Hello :)

Is it possible to remove in any way preinstalled apps? The default web browser is crashing, i would like to remove the pixel launcher as i replaced it with lawnchair.

The pixel launcher is drawing a bit too much battery. It's no longer my home app but its still using battery and i cant force stop it or disable it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Yes, use a system app remover
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ksaves2:
Is there anyway to assure the Wifi stays on when the phone goes to sleep? I notice that I have a data leak of about 6mb a day over my cut rate Freedompop service. I suspect the wifi goes down when the phone goes to sleep and

the app switches to the network. I have locked everything down I can, have auto-updates and notifications turned off and don't allow any apps to do anything on mobile data. (I turn apps on and off when I need them of mobile)

If I can keep the Wifi "on" then it would be used preferentially. TIA, Kurt

Ok, Sorry to answer myself but I found the "adb shell setting put global wifi_sleep_policy 2" command to keep the wifi on while the phone sleeps. tried it overnight and 2% of the battery was used.

My problem is I use the cut-rate FreedomPop service as I like the rollover data. After 5 months and a few FH/Android 8.1 updates, data starting flying in/out with the phone turned on and me not using it! Started mysteriously in September even though the phone configuration was working fine before that time. I wiped the phone clean, updated Android/FH, used a minimal setup sans many of my usual apps and still noticed the issue. I locked the apps down as tight as I could and still found a data loss. I left the Wifi on with the adb command above and the mobile data loss has slowed to a near standstill. I was observing data going in/out even with the phone sleeping next to the Wifi router. 6 to 7mb in/out the door over the day with no calls coming in or out.

Me thinks that when the phone went to sleep, the WiFi eventually went to sleep and the background google big brother apps surreptitiously was sending out data over the mobile network. If one notices, there isn't a mainstream menu item to "keep the WiFi on" during sleep as there was with past versions of Android.

I want to minimize the "google tracking" and confine it to WiFi only. Yes I know if I want to use "Find my device" I'll have to allow for it but there is a menu item for that. Kurt
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JoeBruin32:
When I'm in a game that uses full screen, the navigation bar disappears, as is normal. However, usually I can swipe up from the bottom to get it to pop back in, but that gesture doesn't work anymore. Is there a setting I'm missing?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
You could go the route of removing the google stuff completely, most importantly google services. There's an app out there that allows you to use some google services without having the battery hog google services on your device, can't think of it right this second. There are definitely users out there where battery life and data usage is most important to them, ahead of having the full Google experience on their phone.

If you do some research, you will see exactly what I'm talking about.

Had to look it up, it's called 'microG'. I personally haven't used it, but I know users that do.

So maybe this is an option for you, good luck.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ksaves2:
Thanks I'll look into it. Kurt
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Profetorum:
I get a "System UI has stopped" after the first boot.

How can i fix?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ksaves2:
Which one pray tell would be good for FH?

Also the Lightning Browser doesn't work as the other poster found. I'd just as soon get rid of it and any other browser recommended? One that won't ripping through data in the background.

Oh incidentally, The FreedomPop provider I use. (Yeah I know, not the best but I like the rollover) is having server issues where people's phones are pinged randomly over the mobile network and data gets

charged to them. I noticed this in September. I'd start my phone up and data was being charged when I wasn't even using the phone. I had my phone locked down extremely and had never seen this before.

Yeah they're VOIP/SIP but the calls don't get charged by using data.. Even if one was next to a Wifi was connected, the servers could send data to the phone and would be doing it over the Mobile Network.

Very frustrating and I don't recommend them unless they get this problem fixed. Sure, I have "find my Device" active I don't mind a few kb here and there. I have no feeds on, I have weather confined to wifi only

and I still get 3 to 7mb charged when I have the phone on with zero (0) use. In fact data gets charged for turning on the phone and even reboots. I'll have to manually shutoff the mobile network before I shut the phone down and see what happens when I turn the phone back on.

In the past with FP I had no issues with them. My phone would switch from wifi to network seamlessly and I wouldn't be charged for data, unless I was acutally using it while on the mobile network. The Google

mothership montitoring garbage would go out over free wifi connection. Kurt

[MENTION=7087261]ksaves2[/MENTION]

I use titanium backup
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ksaves2:
Thanks, Now a question for the developers. Does FireHound send out any systems operation info to them in the background?

I use a VOIP/Sip provider and all of a sudden data is being recorded as used when I've locked every program down I can think of. The data is going in or out using the providers messaging program. I try to be frugal with network data as there is a rollover that occurs of 500mb if one doesn't use up the data.

I was getting 40-75mb of data being used/day doing nothing with the phone. It was set to stay on Wi-Fi as much as possible.

One fellow posted on the providers site (Freedompop BTW) that he surmised the servers are pinging our phones and if they're locked down, the phone rejects the ping. The servers though are counting the pings against one's data.

The other thing was I thought it was an Android 8.1 "thing" so I pulled the sim and dropped it into an old Blu phone I locked down in the past and still saw 3 to 4mb being charged a day. That phone is running Android 5.0. Believe me, I've locked everything out. No feeds, the weather is on WiFi only the only thing "on" is "find my device" and I've search for everything to plug the leak.

Previously, I ran the BLU phone on FP on a free account mind you and had absolutely no issues with a data leak. Things got screwy in September. (Shoot, there was only a 200mb limit and I had to run a "speed check" once a month to use "some" data so the account was left open. Otherwise I didn't see any data go out)

Thanks in advance, Kurt

Got a Nexus 6p about 2 months ago and used this ROM from day one with ElementalX kernel. I gotta say its flawless. Never crashed and I have tried some demos of other ones bit this one beats them all. Best ROM for nexus 6p right now hands down. Thank you NepoRood you made a bad ass ROM.

Do I need to be on Oreo to install this? I'm still on Nougat. Can I just do a clean install of this and be OK?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lughnasadh:
You can do a clean install (wiping /data/cache/dalvik/system) but update bootloader, radio, vendor and TWRP to the latest first.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Umair697:
First you need to upgrade your bootloader, vendor and radio. Flash the latest file and follow the instructions from here.

All you really need is the October vendor image, OPM7.181005.003, which can be found in the second post on the first page of this thread. Radio and Bootloader are up to you, I'm still on the 3.85 radio and can't remember the bootloader version.

Just do a clean install as stated in the OP and you'll be good to go :good:

Firehound 4.7 was the best ,battery life was better then my other mobiles, but after I updated to 4.9 and the battery life is bad if not worse, have to keep charging min. 3 times a day, any advice ?? I might go back to 4.7 if I don't get any reply.

You are just too mean, hope Aliens abduct you soon - :p, just kidding, well Just that you know for me personally, Firehound Rom was the best ever Rom I have used, really sad you are killing us by not updating it to Android 9,having too many problems with other roms, I still have this version on my pc, seriously thinking of re-installing your Firehound again and going back to 8.1 from 9.

Would be great if you could make the upgrade but hey is really up to you. Who knows I might be an Alien ?. Cheers.
