[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] peachpuff:
You get $150 off if you trade in any junk phone, its something. The s9 is $810 after trade in, when was the last time a galaxy phone was this cheap?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] 519FlyBoy:
Yeap I've been pissed off about this since the announcement.. I messaged Samsung Canada on Facebook just *****ing about it and the reply I got about 10 days later (so just a couple days ago) was: "Don't worry. You'll get your black"... So I don't know wtf that means I messaged back saying I hope that doesn't mean in 6 months when they need a sales boost bcuz I'll just wait for the S10 if that's the case and I got no response after that, which I bet that's what they meant bcuz that's the kinda **** Samsung pulls... I've also been tweeting Samsung Canada and Samsung Mobile about this repeatedly. Such BS. Whoever's idea this was should be fired or punched in face, one or the other.

Does anyone know if you can use elemental x kernel with stock 8.1?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nevermindthelabel:
Yes, it says in the thread title Feb 5th and 8.1, I don't use it but see no reason why it won't work
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Sh0X31:
Best combination!

I use Stock Rom + Magisk + EX Kernel and I get like 36h standby & 7h Screen-on.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] hazedabeast:
Is all you got to do is flash the kernel in slot_b?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
Same, I run stock+Elemental kernal+magisk and am having good results.

Just boot into twrp, and flash the zip, don't mess with slots or anything.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] AlexRuhl:
Hi, somebody knows if there is a hardware difference between units with px5 octacore and 4gb ram that have 6.0 and 8.0?

For example xtrons have 2 different number for this units (pb9690bpl (6.0) and pb9890bpl(8.0))
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] leonkernan:
On most of the xtrons model numbers the fourth digit is the Android version.

Hence the 6 for the Android 6 version and the 8 for the Android 8 version.

Edit: On those the number before it is the screen size, 7, 8 etc
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] AlexRuhl:
Ok, from tech spec. are looking the same..I ask if somebody knows some hardware difference..

[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] Desertfalcon622:
Hello,

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy On5 a couple months ago, and I used it fine during that time, however, I recently deleted the operating system from TWRP and now I am having trouble installing a new operating system. I have tried many different suggestions, including:

1) Using ODIN to flash a new ROM (when I attempt to start flashing with ODIN, it will almost immediately fail with an error message on ODIN; note I was in download mode on the On5 for this attempt[power+volume down+home])

2) Trying to unlock fastboot and install the stock ROM from there

Please note that this method has not worked. When I try to get to fastboot, I will run into an error at the very start of my task. I use a mac, so after I have changed directories to my Android SDK Platform Tools and type in ./fastboot devices, nothing will come up on my terminal (no serial numbers, not even an error message saying "No devices found", just nothing).

3) Using Samsung Smart Switch or Samsung Kies. When I try this method, the software will spit out an error message saying my device can not be recovered (although I have used Kies and SmartSwitch before with this device, even after I had rooted it, so maybe this error message is just because the device is getting old and support is being discontinued)

4) Installing an operating system directly through TWRP. When I try this, I get several error messages, whether it be that the signature verification is bad or the zip format or whatever is bad. I have tried several different sites with different ROM options, and keep getting error messages, so I gave up on this option.

If I hold down the power button alone, the Samsung logo will pop up, wait a second then disappear, only to be replaced with a blank screen (although the screen is on as I can see a tiny bit of light coming from the black screen). If I hold down Power+Volume Up+Home I am taken to the TWRP recovery screen. If I hold down Power+Volume Down+Home I am taken to Download Mode (Note, in download mode there are a couple lines of text, one of these lines says Secure Download: Enabled. Does this make a difference?)

Just to clarify, I do not have any operating system installed on the phone, and my main goal right now is to be able to boot into Android, after that, I will be able to navigate the waters myself and restore the phone the rest of the way.

Thank you in advance for your help and if you have any questions for me please ask them.

The device model number is SM-G550T (This is a T-mobile phone)

That is strange. Will reupload.

EDIT: Done see OP
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ChongoDroid:
I've always wondered something, since COS charges money for phone flashing and the only way to get it yourself is to compile it yourself and flash. Once you flash your self compiled build, do you have to build the updates or does the built in updater work?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
I didn't see the updater, and even if it was there the keys would not match so you would not be able to update.

Ideally, we would put this on a build server and release the full install and OTA every time there was an update so we would get the updates within a few hours of official. A few changes could be made to either change the updater (if it is there, which I did not see it) or use lineageOS one and modify it to point to the release server.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ChongoDroid:
Yeah CopperheadOS uses the stock recovery iirc. They do it like this to use verified boot iirc. I personally loved COS on my Nexus 5 and missed it on my pixel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KShion619:
how likely are weekly builds for this rom? also did you find a workaround for the F-Droid extension? I tried manually removing it and disabling it via twrp, but it seems to restore itself or simply refuse to delete, showing as deleted from within twrp

Fdroid Keys and BuildSystem

Thanks for building.

Please add your keys to the fdroid whitelist.

Could you write/post about your build system?(Like a Howto)?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
The fdroid extension needs the keys as I pointed out in the 2nd or 3rd post notes. Regular builds would require a build server but a build server costs money. So, will try to update when I can.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
Please see the build instructions in the op that I posted.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
Ideally, I would like to make another rom that has the restricted sigspoof added so we could have an option for microg
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] KShion619:
Meant like a user-doable way until the keys updated, I'm fine with the full screen dialog for now
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
The keys are compiled in so, no.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] smilingtux:
I have seen and read it before ;)

I setup an build host based on copperheads documentation, I read about the java whitelisting of my keys for fdroid, but the build process itself fails from time to time.

So my question was more about, how did you manage to setup a reliable environment for building. What OS did you use, installed dependencies etc.

I will update OP soon with better links and some more details.

EDIT: OP Updated
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Dragon6780:
Is it possible to sideload your latest build as an update or do I need to unlock bootloader / flash and lock booloader again like I did with your first build (which will delete all user data)?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
Great question. Theoretically, they have the same keys so you should be able to side load. However, please do a full backup before just in case. This new build has some framework changes for signature spoofing for microG support.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Dragon6780:
Well, if I understood that, you should have a factory image and a seperate update.zip after building your rom.

https://copperhead.co/android/docs/...igned-factory-images-and-full-update-packages

I tried using adb sideload but the output says:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Dragon6780:
I installed your latest build (fastboot flash - factory image like your first build) but I am still getting an error while trying to install an app using FDroid:

"The privileged permissions have not been granted to the extension! Please create a bug report."

Any way to avoid that and make FDroid usable?

Edit: Okay I just found out that I am still at the last build. Flashing it like last time (fastboot flash ...) failed with your new build
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
There is no update for this new build because of the addition of the microg patch. The first build was just a straight build of CopperheadOS. I didn't want anyone to mistake the new build with microG to be an update. I apologize for the inconvenience.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] polo735:
Hi,

The CopperheadOS website indicates there is no support for Sprint on the pixel. Is it safe to assume the same if true for CottonmouthOS?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
Sprint apps are not included and thus can't be activated and is not supported. However if your phone is already activated it should just be a matter of APN settings
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MpandAUS:
sorry if this is a stupid question to ask but does this also include root or will work with magisk?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] z74pzva4hil9:
It is not rooted and as far as I know it cannot be. To install Magisk a custom recovery is needed which you cannot use with this ROM. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jakeman19751023:
Got a really dumb question. With no gapps, what is used to get apps? And will it run all the regular apps that you normally get in play store?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jahrule:
Not a dumb question. Most people can't fathom an android phone without gapps. Gapps is propitiatory software from google which enables users to use their google accounts to sync contacts, gmail, and install software through playstore. However, their are alternatives to free oneself from the privacy invasion that these services come with. See the following:

https://f-droid.org/

https://microg.org/

https://impossiblehq.com/complete-guide-leaving-google/

https://www.irishtimes.com/business...he-hassle-if-you-value-your-privacy-1.2211355

https://www.phonearena.com/news/Goo...s-you-can-use-instead-of-Googles-apps_id75578 (Davdroid, nextcloud, disroot.org, etc are all good alternatives)

Amazon store is also a place to get apps google free, but is also proprietary. I would recommend sticking with Fdroid. If you must have apps from playstore and can't find an alternative on Fdroid or amazon store there is also https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore.

In summary, this ROM is for those who are privacy and security conscious. However, if one does not really care about one's privacy (https://opensource.org/node/711) one could just flash gapps on top and benefit still from the extra security that is provided. Keep in mind though this will not be supported by me.

I haven't seen anyone ask about locking/unlocking the bootloader on a Verizon phone.

I was under the impression that if you relocked the bootloader, it couldn't be unlocked, again, or could brick your phone.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Bryanx86:
You have to be unlocked to flash this so I think this question is null, but I've also read that if you do lock a vzw pixel, then you cannot unlock it again. and also a question for the op... Will there be a build available for the pixel XL?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] redwolves:
Obviously, my bootloader is unlocked. My question was if I lock my bootloader on a VZW phone, can I unlock it again?

The reason I ask this question is because there are many posts about not locking your bootloader.

I understand CopperheadOS.

Just want a clarification from the OP on this point, before I, or someone else bricks a phone.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nick80835:
On a Verizon Pixel, locking the bootloader will prevent it from being unlocked possibly ever again. Locking the bootloader with this ROM installed will render the device a brick.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MpandAUS:
Could you make this ROM into a flashable zip by any chance via custom recovery or its not possible? Regardless it won't have regularly updates set up etc
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cgrimm9:
I don't know how many issues or what problems it will cause I been running this with the phone unlocked. granted if i lose my phone someone could get access to my phone. I don't know what else the locked bootloader does. I did install TWRP thing seems to run fine. I did do a backup and not tried to do a install. with it., Twrp Backup and restore dont work cuases the phone to bootloop.

the reason i replied to is to let you know relocking your bootloader is not a 100% must it just makes your phone more secure from access of your phone if lost or stolen. you could root this OS but it makes the OS Less secure and gives software vulnerabilities which takes away from this OS but it would just be a pure Google less rom

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maxwell0312:
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. I knew about Copperhead OS before I got myself a Pixel. What I'm curious is the instruction in the 1st post: So we have to have an unlocked boot loader (which I can do) on a stock March Oreo. Then we need to download this ROM then do "flash-all.sh" instead of flashing a .zip ROM in Recovery like others? Then we relocked the Bootloader? Please let me know.
