perfect i have updated the op with new instructions so everyone can flash gaaps on this rom and everything will be fine

1 favour for users who first reported that the previous build was not working

please remove the comments or change it to something different so there is no confusion about the working capabilities of the rom
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
can you share how you flashed gaaps
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mackentosh:
After you flash the rom and get it booted up

Reboot to twrp flash an open gapps 8.1 and wipe then Flash boot.img and boot the phone back up and it should be working
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mackentosh:
Running smooth so far
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] croat.hvar:
How does it compare to recent Lineage?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mackentosh:
Way more features than lineage and it's just as stable as of now
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
What GApps are you guys using?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] deepu458:
The OP Mentioned that OpenGapps is his choice.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
I used those and they keep closing.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
I just mentioned opengaaps

Use any you like

You havent done the factory reset after flashing gaaps

Thats why they keep force closing
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
My fault. Forgot the wipe data part.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Obamaloominaty:
Is there any chance that an updater will be added to this ROM? Its kind of annoying when you have to be near a PC to update your phone. It's not enough to make me not consider this ROM as a viable option, but an updater would be a nice touch.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
I might consider it but the truth is its just too much work for thr fact that this rom is very stable so i will update it only once a month or if major changes occur
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] HiM@L:
i am guessing Okay Google doesn't work?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
Nope, and I'm back to stock. I use the feature way too often to be without it. Especially driving.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] HiM@L:
yes same here.

i need that function to work for driving
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mymagicmyhero:
Hey guys about those Gaps.... Which one should I use? I've looked into open apps but there are so many choices... (nano, aroma, etc...) and versions arm, x86, x64.... Which one of those architectures I could use in this rom? Thank in advance and sorry about the probably lame question.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
Also as a quick, general update - now that we have the August security patch released, I plan on building RR again on this upcoming Sunday the 12th. I'll edit this if there are troubles or that date needs to change.

Edit: build is failing due to issues with Livedisplay needing to be merged into RR it looks like. Will check again in a couple of days.

Edit 2: that code looks like it was merged yesterday so I'll try again

Edit 3: build succeeded, but there were quite a few bugs. Let me know if you are interested in the zip, otherwise I would recommend staying with 7/15 rom. The bugs were likely because 8.1.0_r43 was just merged and seemed to break functionality (core stuff like adaptive brightness wasn't working)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Thomas Cloutier:
Is this ROM stable and ready for daily use?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
Yes. There are some small things that you can read about in post 345, and other custom rom issues that have impacted this for a while (such as not being able to use Ok Google).

I've been using this since the March release
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ranasrule:
Hello,

Just got my brand spankin new Essential Phone. I'm switching over from my Nexus 6p and I'm having a very hard time understanding how things are done in the EP world. As I just took my phone out of the box everything is stock. What I want is to install Resurrection Remix v6.0.0 with root. I've read all the guides but still have no idea what the first step will be to achieve a Resurrection Remix v6.0.0 install with root.I dont want to brick my phone so I would really appreciate any guidance. I'm very willing to learn :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
The high level steps to getting to the point of having RR with root are:

1. First, unlocking the bootloader and understanding the ramifications of that if you haven't before (fastboot flashing unlock & fastboot flashing unlock_critical)

2. Make sure you're on appropriate appropriate firmware. Sounds like you do if you're on stock and have updated.

-- these steps are detailed well in the OP of this thread --

3. Apply the twrp boot image to slot B via fastboot

4. Switch to slot A in recovery, then wipe all data and flash the RR rom to slot A

5. Reboot recovery, flash opengapps of your choice

6. Boot into ROM, install MagiskManager apk

7. Patch a boot image with Magisk; recommended one is the boot image with neutrino kernel from another thread here on xda

8. Re-enter twrp, flash the boot image that you just patched with magisk (results in the patched_boot.img file).

Done - you'll now be on RR with root via magisk.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
I couldn't get this thing to boot for the life of me! But I think I can now thanks to vembers instructions. Thank you so much!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
I am stuck on step 5 when I reboot to recovery. It reboots me to the lineage OS recovery.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rignfool:
Reflash TWRP first...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
I reflash twrp, install GAAPS on the "A" side and it refuses to boot.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
Remember that every time you want to get into twrp, which you have flashed on boot b, you need to use fastboot to perform the set_active other command and make sure you're active partition is b. Then, you can arrow down in fastboot on your phone to reboot to recovery, and it'll take you to twrp.

If you are going into / getting lineage recovery, it is because you are in slot A and not B, so you need to be sure you're doing that via fastboot every single time you want to get into twrp. Lineage recovery is bundled with the rom, so at least you know you flashed the rom correctly into slot A!

Hope this helps.

Edit: when I say reboot recovery in step 5, I mean reboot to bootloader, set the slot to B, then go back into twrp recovery.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
GOT IT! Thanks Vember! takes awhile to get used to that A/B stuff, lol
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DoR3M3:
Everytime I reboot the WiFi shuts off, and I have to go into Settings and turn it on... :(

Signature Spoofing doesn't seem to be happening for microg support, another sad face... :(
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DehoXeD:
Yes, wifi goes off on every reboot, it is the same with Carbon ROM FYI.

I've seen a workaround with auto-reconnect to a known WiFi at boot, but I can't remember where.

Regarding signature, indeed, it is not supported by RR. You will have to use Xposed+Signature module. And you will be able to use microg as well.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DoR3M3:
WiFi stays on reboot for me in CarbonRom...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
Pretty solid Rom here. I have really enjoyed using it. Great work by all devs working hard to bring this to us. I really appreciate all your hard work and hours! Wish I could get get the battery percentage in the battery icon but its all good :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
Do the settings in Settings / Configurations / Status Bar tab / Battery / show battery percentage not do what you're hoping for?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
Thanks so much buddy but I do have that enabled and it just doesn't show. Does it show up for you?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
It does not actually. It works fine with the battery circle, which is what I use, so I hadn't noticed it not working for the portrait icon
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bobbaloo:
Does this have slim recents? I'm new to Essential, coming from 6p, currently running stock Pie, I'm missing Slim Recents & many other features from Oreo ROMs.......
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
Yep, using slim recents on this rom myself
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
How is the update holding up vember?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
I'll build it again within the next few days

Update 9/12: build didn't succeed but I think I've fixed it, and it was an issue with my Linux box. Working on building again, sorry for the delay but wanted to give an update.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
Thanks Vember. We are all rooting for you buddy
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
Haha thanks, I'll get it and know you guys are looking for it (I'm ready to flash an update myself) - had to leave town for a wedding and didn't quite get time to pull it together before heading out of town. I'll be giving it another go probably Tuesday night. Sorry guys.

This at least gives some time for any issues that came in with r46 being merged earlier this month.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
Hi guys -

Here you go :) we got a bump to RR v6.2.0. I haven't tried this yet, but will update with issues when I do. No Gapps in this build.

[url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L0VSRPIDdGTQPAo3StusGFLQJqJNEhBq/view?usp=sharing[/URL]

This seems to work decently, but still buggier than the 7/15 build. I'll keep this online for those who want it, but I'm going to return to the 7/15 build. If you find any manual ways to take care of the issues below, let me know!

- LiveDisplay not working

- Auto flashlight off function not available

- Trouble with touchscreen working at all sometimes (one of my flashes worked fine though)

- Wifi still disabled on each reboot.

- note that I tested this on the July firmware
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
Now the dumb questions. How do I flash this? Can I dirty flash it. What would you recommend?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
I'm going to do a clean flash (I almost always do). Also going to use this opportunity to flash the official twrp. You can indeed do a dirty flash though - just go into TWRP as you have in the past by booting into recovery in slot B, switch to slot A, and flash the ROM. You'll also have to go through the steps of patching your kernel with magisk if you want root again, or flash the patched_boot.img you have from before.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Benxxx:
I do not have boot.img what to do ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
I'd recommend using the one from the neutrino kernel thread. If you want the rom specific one though, I can get that for you
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Benxxx:
You guided me to do it that way, I still do not understand how to use the kernel
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aikons:
Flashed the opengapps, the play services always fc, what should i do?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
I'd recommend following the OP of this thread, as well as a post I have a few pages back that provides a high-level step-by-step for how to flash this ROM with the neutrino kernel. If you're still struggling, send me a PM.

Which ROM did you flash? The 7/15 build or the 9/17 build? I had a handful of issues with the 9/17 build, including FC's. I was using a MindTheGapps package for the 9/17 when testing it. Again though, I've moved back to the 7/15 build because it's much more stable, where I'm using the latest opengapps pico without any issues.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stu5797:
Geez. A month since the last post. I'm still running this rom and love it
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
I think more people are migrating to Pie now, but this is a great ROM nonetheless, stoked for a Pie release in the future.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jaime3344:
Yea this is the best Essential rom, I loved it! I went to Note9 Sprint, no rooting for a while:crying:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijohnson:
Please forgive me. I just want to confirm what I think I ready earlier. To go from Pie to RR6.x it is necessary to go back to the 8.1 sock noted in the OP, correct? Have there been any issues with the stable install of TWRP?

Thanks,

NJ
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
I don't think you'll run into any issues if you stay on the current firmware. I'd recommend trying on current firmware before downgrading to Oreo, and flashing the September build.

In fact, the build from September may work better on the Pie firmware - I'm not sure if anyone has tried. If you do try and find that the Sept build isn't working well with Pie firmware, I (and others have too) can confirm that the July Oreo firmware & the 7/15 build works great. The wifi is disabled on each reboot, but I don't have any other notable issues.

edit: also no issues w/ official TWRP.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
i will create pie builds for this phone when LOS 16 is released and OTA,twrp flashing is more streamlined
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijohnson:
well, I've gotten the latest loaded, but my touch isn't working. I've wiped and reflashed, but no luck.

should I downgrade to July? Flash stock oreo & retry?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jaime3344:
that happened to me too, I flashed stock and retried and it worked.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
Yeah I got that too a few times, and never really got the September build working well. July build has been stable and reliable every time, so I've kept going back to that.

I might do another oreo build if it's requested, but I think it probably won't be much different from September since most focus is on getting los16 ready
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijohnson:
Hiya! So everythig is looking good. I had a bit of a time of it. Somehow, I got Pie on one slot and 8.1 on the other. F-in wierd! But I got itfixed.

Working on Root atm. Seems straight forward, go to twrp. Install magisk. done. But it doesnt seem complete. I note on page 40 or so that you could patch your kernel with Magisk? Or the patched boot.img? Won't the patched boot mess up my persistent twrp instalation? Or should I switch to Nutrino? I'm leaning toward Nutrino, but am unsure which version to grab, as the instructions say that the firmware should be up to date, but when Iinstalled RR 7/15, I had to downgrade.

Any advice would bemuch appriciated.

silly me - read closer.

Are these steps accurate for every phone that has a b partitions?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swiftbones74:
I ask out of curiosity, are you still planning on doing this, or have you moved on?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
just flash a gsi build or join the telegram group

every rom has the same features now a days
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swiftbones74:
I could almost agree with your comment above, or at least it might make sense if we were currently on Marshmallow or Nougat and I was asking about a KitKat rom? The fact that we are now on Pie, and you were building RR Oreo makes your statement strange IMO. I like options and I noticed that you made the comment below a little over 2 months ago.

~i will create pie builds for this phone when LOS 16 is released and OTA,twrp flashing is more streamlined~

I have tested pretty much all the Pie arm64 ab GSI's on XDA and didn't notice any for RR? I have been part of the mata_dev_channel on telegram since before I got my ph-1 and have tested AICP, AOSPA, AOSIP, Candy, CRDroid, DU, LOS, StatiX and probably others I can't remember. I promise that they don't all have the same features. Honestly, like I initially said, I was asking out of curiosity, if I was looking for a "kitchen sink rom" to flash it would be Halvoc.

Thanks for your efforts on Oreo, even if that was before my time on this device, I have lots of respect for anyone building and sharing any roms.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] itsvikg:
After installing, touch screen didn't work. But it works on stock and Lineage.

Any tips.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
If you want to use this ROM, I'd use the July zip that I have uploaded. I had the same issue with the September one (I should probably take that one down).
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] itsvikg:
You've a link to download?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
You had to look back a few pages. If you're new to XDA, know that you'll have to get used to looking for things & doing some sleuthing on your own if/when needed :)

Hi Thanks, I ended up fixing the issue after clean-wiping.

It had something to do with another version of boot.img that i'd on it. Wipe, clean install fixed it.

++ :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Obamaloominaty:
That's a fair point, however I'm sure most users would prefer to have one since updating the phone is much easier when you can do it without a computer. Besides, couldn't you just pull the updater from Lineage and use it here? (I'm not familiar with Android development so sorry if this is a stupid question)

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

You have to use Arm64, and you can pick which type of GApps you want. If you want all the Google apps preinstalled go with stock, if you just want the essential apps to use Google Play Services go with nano.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
Does this ROM have multitouch tweaks for 8.1 bug like AOSIP?
