This one works for me, HDR+, portrait mode front/back. It's slow to render (slower than my redmi note 4) but the results are just amazing, especially for portrait mode.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] weakhahaha:

Hello thanks for the link, I have downloaded the app, it performs well but when i use HRD+ Enhanced on the back camera, also same with portrait mode rear camera- the captured images are entirely green wondering if you could help. thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] GuestD2807:

it should work in new builds

HDR+ Enhanced / Rear Cam Portrait mode not green tinted anymore? :o
[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] MaxisMan:
The green tint should be fixed in the AEX ROM. I'll test it out later..

This has happened before on other sites. It seems that if you leave Chrome open for a long time (several days), this seems to occur. Solution was to close chrome and re-open it and re-navigate the link. Working for me too now.

Thanks for the help.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Zenoran:
Okay so ya I know how to use the search feature.. and ya I saw a bunch of threads about this but none that I could recall were actually specific to windows mobile... at least that were in english I could actually read.

the basic posts that I did see were indicating that sync should update the calendar with the contact birthdays but I know for a fact my device does not do this... Outlook 2007 over exchange does show the contacts on the calendar but they dont show up on the device's calendar and all the contacts have the birthdays set.

I know there are apps out there that show this stuff on the today screen but I hate laggy today screen so I would really like to know if there is a way to get them to show up without adding another application???

thanks ;)

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] sonneper:
first : I'm using stock rom , STF L09 8.0.0 360 / c432

My setup : I want keep open in background somes apps : ultimate rotation , Blokada ( try with many others ad blocker ) gravity screen ( try many apps able to wake up screen using proximity sensor )

The worst : Gravity screen or other apps using proximty sensor stop after a few minutes .

For rotation apps or adblocker , I have to manually launch them 2 or 3 times a day. all apps got all permissions and "ignore battery optimisation " setting.

Don't have issue with P9 lite / android 6 so I don't know if it's come from Oreo or honor setting.

Are you ok to run apps in background on your Honor9 ? is it a way to create a "white list" some where to "protect" some apps ?

Thank for your help !
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] oslo83:
The only *real* adblocker i know is adaway, for rooted devices.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Paulo87:
I had a similar problem with a fitness band/app. After a few minutes it killed the app and thus losing connection with the band. I had to go to settings > Battery > Battery usage > Softaware > Select desired app > Launch > Deselect "Manage automatically" and select "Auto-launch + Secondary launch + Run in background". Hope it works for you as well.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] sonneper:
Yes, I've try this tips , it's the best solution I've found but it's not 100 % ok, sometimes, apps stops...

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Blooddrunked:
Hello!

Do you know any adapters, that covert the typ c to 2 typ c? that works with the Pixel 2xl? i want to charge my phone and hear to music...

thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
This guide is primarily intended for rooted users, since stock users can just take the OTA.

Key points

User data and applications are kept intact

You do not have to remove your PIN, password, or fingerprint

You do not have to remove TWRP, Magisk, your custom kernel, dtbo, or anything

This is intended for monthly security updates; developer previews and beta releases may or may not work with this method. You're welcome to try, but all may not work as expected

Installing Update:

Make sure you have the latest Google SDK Platform Tools. Extract the archive to a location of your choosing (creates platform-tools folder)

Get the latest walleye Factory Image (

not OTA

) from Google's Developer Page and save to a location of your choosing

Extract the archive, and open the extracted folder. You should see a list of files:

bootloader-walleye-[version string].img

flash-all.bat

flash-all.sh

flash-base.sh

image-walleye-[version string].zip

radio-walleye-[version string].img

Open the flash-all script (flash-all.bat for Windows, flash-all.sh for Linux/OSX) in your favorite text editor.

Find the line that reads "fastboot -w update image-walleye-[version].zip and

remove

"-w" (the wipe user data switch). Save and close the flash-all script.

Move (cut and paste, etc) all of these files to the platform-tools folder.

Enable USB Debugging from the Developer Options menu on your device (press "Build Number" 7 times if not already visible)

With your device plugged into the computer, open a command prompt in the platform-tools folder

Windows: Open the folder, hold down Shift and right click inside the folder, "Open Command window here"

Linux: If you're on Linux you already know how to do this

OSX: Open a folder in a terminal

Reboot to bootloader:

adb reboot bootloader

Execute update script in terminal:

Windows:

flash-all.bat

Linux/OSX:

./flash-all.sh

The device will reboot a few times while updating

Restoring root and/or a custom recovery

Download latest:

TWRP image

Magisk zip

TWRP zip

(Optional) Custom kernel zip

Place all files in the platform-tools folder

Reboot to bootloader

Boot TWRP image.

fastboot boot [twrp image filename].img

Push zip files to /tmp

adb push [magisk filename].zip /tmp

Optional: TWRP persistent installation + custom kernel:

adb push [twrp filename].zip /tmp
adb push [custom kernel filename].zip /tmp

Install Magisk:

adb shell twrp install /tmp/[magisk filename].zip

Optional: TWRP persistent installation + custom kernel:

adb shell twrp install /tmp/[twrp filename].zip
adb shell twrp install /tmp/[custom kernel filename].zip
adb shell twrp install /tmp/[magisk filename].zip

Reboot to system

Thanks for the guide
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] atifaslam7:
Thanks for that, but do not forget to mention to enable usb debugging mode, to account for people who are new to this community.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pianobeats:
I'm having trouble Installing Magisk on Step 6. Every time I enter the code it says it can't locate the Magisk file for some reason.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Oops, my instructions were to push to /tmp but the flashing portion left that directory out. I updated the original post.

My thought was that if someone is following this guide, they're already rooted, so would already know to have USB Debugging enabled. I'll add it though for completeness sake.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] daede86:
ehi guys! i have one last doubt before updating to the latest factory image: i have a verizon pixel 2, bootloader unlocked, magisk installed on OPM1.171019.013, will i be able to keep my bootloader unlocked after i flash the latest factory image? i definitely don't want to lock it as i read the unlock command is not working anymore..

thanks a lot!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] RogueCoyote:
Thanks for the guide. Worked flawlessly!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Relocking your bootloader is not necessary to flash this. Bootloader will remain unlocked after flashing.

TWRP 3.2.1-1 and 3.2.1-2 are able to decrypt /data and /sdcard. MTP still doesn't work, but you can place files on the sdcard via USB in system.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
This is hit and miss, for example 3.2.1-2 won't decrypt /data/ for me on P DP1. Others though have no problem decrypting data.

I kept the instructions the same, but took out the decryption note. Even if your TWRP can decrypt /data/ it's not strictly necessary for this process, so there's consistency in the guide in spite of inconsistent TWRP behavior.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
This honestly doesn't surprise me in the least; I would expect that Android P might use a different security scheme, so the decryption mechanism that works with Oreo may not be forward compatible.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] floepie:
For persistent twrp don’t you need to fastboot flash the recovery partition with the twrp image?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
There is no recovery partition, the recovery is now part of the boot image. You have to boot the TWRP image, then flash the TWRP zip which will patch the boot image in both slots.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] floepie:
Right I meant the boot partition. But this contradicts the main guide here where it indicates the necessity to flash both the twrp image to the boot partition (not just boot to the image on your PC), AND flash the twrp zip to make it persistent.

You don’t need to worry about the twrp zip at all if all you want to do is fastboot boot the twrp image.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Not sure which guide you're referring to, but nathanchance's guide as far as I saw lined up with mine.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] floepie:
Sorry delete
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrianMDenby:
Has there been a workaround created for those of us who can't unlock bootloader because OEM can't be unlocked? Wiping the phone and skipping wizard did not work for me. I'm just trying to root so I can delete apps I don't want.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Can someone tell me about the installing OTA.zip without unrooting or uninstalling the magisk. Is it possible to update through OTA on rooted stock ROM? Or what if we update using the OTA which comes automatically from Google?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
That's not possible, which is why this process exists.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] atifaslam7:
I tried to install magisk, it's now in a bootloop showing only the "G" sign

I followed the guide and I was on android P preview.

Can someone help me?

Edit: I was able to reflash to android P to fix the bootloop, but I still need a solution on how to flash magisk, because I followed the steps and this clearly didn't work, at least for new android p preview.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
I'm on the P Preview with Magisk 16.3, not sure what to tell you.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] atifaslam7:
That might be what's wrong for me, for some reason I downloaded on the magisk website and it gave me a magisk zip file version 16.0 smh
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Grab 16.3 from the beta thread
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxottavi:
i follow the guide for upgrade at april release, and the phone reboot always in recovery. try to change slot in twrp and the phone reboot three or four times only in bootloader, with a yellow string on bottom that say "error". now reboot again only in twrp. i follow step by step all the passages (flash factory image, push magisk and twrp, then install them with adb shell command). i made something wrong... some help? sorry for english. thanks anyway
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Not sure what to tell you, if you're changing boot slots then you're off the beaten path since it's not needed. Does it ever boot to system? Before trying anything with TWRP and Magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxottavi:
yes, after flash the factory image the phone reboot to system, always seemed well. the flash was made removing the " -w" from the flash-all.bat. then from the temporary twrp push magisk and twrp 3.2.1-2. and flash them.

I try to post a link with the screenshot of flash but the forum don't allow because i have only two messages..

after the flash reboot to system but the phone reboot always in twrp. try to wipe dalvik cache and nothing happen. maybe i have to reflash all the stuff ? thanks for the help

EDIT: I reflashed the factory image with adb (clean flash), now phone reboot normally. i had some problems because at first the pc don't saw the phone, but after a few attempts all goes right. now i'm scared to flash twrp. . . . thanks for the help anyway ( and thanks to google translate. . .)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jasonbiggs:
Great. Thanks! This is perfect for those stock rooted with Magisk and using V4A and GravityBox and maybe still using Secure Settings like me. Everything went without a hitch. Even remembered most settings. Might have had a little help from TB so have all that stuff backed up. I also had to reinstall v4a but all took less than 30 minutes to get phone back to where I left off before the update. Worth it.

Sent from my Pixel 2 using my fingers.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] samplon:
Decided to update from November's 8.0.0 and followed all the instructions without any problems. After the final step and rebooting my phone, i checked my build number to see that it's still at OPD1.170816.25. I was trying to update to the latest "walleye-opm2.171019.029".

After flashing it again to look for what was wrong. I got these 2 messages:

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] eled7:
I don't understand why this post says that TWRP/root/Magisk doesn't need to be removed when the process of flashing a new update will cause all of those to disappear? I am sick of having to wipe my phone everytime I do a monthly update. Is there a way I can update to May '18 security patch while keeping my files and retain at least TWRP?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
You don't have to remove them prior to flashing, which many guides instruct users to do.

There is no way to keep TWRP through a system update. You shouldn't be losing all your files though.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mamarcac:
Ugh this makes so much sense now...coming from an old S3 I couldn't understand why TWRP needs re-flashing every monthly update. So there really is no "permanent" TWRP installation like the old days since it's boot image dependent... :(
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
Exactly. It's factory software that includes the factory (stock) recovery. There's literally no way that TWRP could persist. Just be content in the fact that you can still reflash TWRP and Magisk after you update. Hell, that's the easiest part of the update process :)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] akablasian:
Did you ever get Magisk to work? I've been trying to install it on DP2 and I'm also getting the "G" bootloop.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonVaritekMVP:
Sorry for a criminally stupid question, it's been a good long while since I've flashed software. After rebooting into the bootloader in step 9, I need to enter "download mode" prior to running the flash-all script correct? (I'm overcautious here as I want to avoid borking my phone) Thanks!

Having issues updating: please see attached and thank you for any help!

Hello guys. Is this guide for installing OTA while rooted with magisk still good ?

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
Just follow the instructions in the OP. I used the same method tonight, as I always have, and everything is running perfectly, as it has for every update. TWRP, Sultan's kernel, and Magisk. Perfection.

flash-all.bat failed

UPDATE: Of course, it finally works after I post. If this issue happens to you, just keep trying. And trying. And trying. It should eventually finish successfully.

---

Every time I try flash-all.bat, an unknown error occurs. Sometimes it occurs a little earlier, sometimes later.

Why is this happening, and how did it not happen to anyone else?

Here's a screenshot:

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wassco:
Why do i see so many people using 16.0x magisk...

Update to 16.7 ( click the beta option in the app) probably most of the issues would go away.. ive had no issues using magisk on any dp#

Clear Cache / dalvik maybe? thats usually solved most of my google loading screen issues.

flashing issues have disappeared after ALWAYS using Deuces script over the flash-all.bat that comes with the update.

But thats just my personal experience with 9.0 DP# and Magisk.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

Everytime i flash my phone

-Flash Firmware ( not ota ), setup phone initially ( NO SECURITY )

- reboot to bootloader, run "Fastboot boot twrp.img", then install Twrp 3.2 zip file within twrp.

- flash magisk 16.7 ( or the latest beta build )

- Clear dalvik cache.

- Never had an issue yet with any flash be it 8.0/8.1/9.0/dp1-5

or im just getting stupid lucky... probably the latter..
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eckis:
Just to be sure, if I've missed multiple updates, skipping to the latest factory image should be fine? Ie I don't have to incrementally update each factory image between what u have and what is current? I'm jumping from Dec 5th to current, (OPM2.171026.006.G1, Jul 2018)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Correct
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
It is also possible to flash the OTA zip using TWRP, but it will overwrite kernel and recovery.
