20 mins no boot ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
I have replaced the link with a older version that i am using currently

please try that
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DolphiinHD:
any difference between this older one and the new one that wouldn't boot?

Also with this version we have to flash gapps? which do we flash?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
This is the build i tested

It does not include gaaps

I built gaaps into the rom for todays built but i guess something got messed up

Keeping this rom as experimental for now until i remember how i flashed gaaps with the current build
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
Guys who try the New build without gaaps do not flash gaaps for now and let me know if this build boots
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
Well that's consice. Thanks for the update man
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
Is this normal awake (screen off) time? My battery seems sub par.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crixley:
Yeah mine is at 5% at the moment. What kind of apps are you using? Do you use snapchat or whatsapp
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
Install nutrino kernel
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
I do have it installed. Also here is my app usage.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
check whats keeping your phone awake

install greenify

certainly not a rom issue
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blue1978:
Does anybody know the reason that "ok google" fix is taking so long to solve ? I've tried some prop build changes and other known different phone fixes. Any info is appreciated.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crixley:
What is your percentage? It looks to be like 75% and you have 1.5 hours screen on time? That would end up being 6 hours approximately
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
It was 62% I'm going to try greenify but ROM is so lean I doubt it will do much.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crixley:
XDA labs won't let me add a screenshot but I'm at 52% battery with 3h 12min screen on time. It is the best I've ever had honestly.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Deandre7452:
Is it a update yet for this if so shoot me a link
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rignfool:
Nope...

No update... And no one will shoot you a link...

Follow the thread like everyone else... You are not special

[MENTION=4675246]Ashwin Prabhunerurkar[/MENTION], is there any chance you could add the touchscreen game fix commit in before the next build you push out?

It is located here: https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_native/+/206121/
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Deandre7452:
All I wanted to know was it a update.i know I'm not special I ask one question update so that mean yes or no in u gave me the answer so thank you
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
i am having some random errors while building the rom for some reason

so have patience

New build will be out soon
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Deandre7452:
Thanks for that..but just take your time no rush everything good to me on this rom just know when you release I will update✔️
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crixley:
This one is great so I'm cool with waiting as long as it takes. I haven't had any issues at all.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
Build 3 with april security patch and bug fixes released

Flash nutrino kernel for best performance

ALSO Even though gapps are included in the build they dont work for some reason on dirty flashing

So Also download the gapps i have included in the OP and flash right after the rom without reboot

If you have any random user app fcs

uninstall the app and redownload from playstore

Enjoy!!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crixley:
Play store won't open for me after this. Might need to wipe I think, everything seems screwed up.

Edit: i ended up just flashing nano gapps and that fixed it. The one in your op borked things for me
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
thanks for letting me know

i changed the gapps link to nano

lets see what others say
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gillim74:
Can you do a build without gapps by chance?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fossiltkm:
Glad to see the update, but I'm having an issue with flashing gapps. I followed the instructions in the op, but after rebooting, I don't even see the gapps being installed.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
If you can, try a clean flash with wiped data
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Deandre7452:
Seems like people having problems with the update so I'ma wait to a good fix for this rom into then I'm sticking with the March build for now so I want have no problems on it
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] techfreak243:
What gapps package do you use and what did you add to either the boardconfig.mk or device.mk to build it with the gapps? I'm trying to build it myself
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fossiltkm:
Has anyone else been successful with flashing both ROM and gapps from a fresh install?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Deandre7452:
techfreak24 and Ashwin Prabhunerurkar y'all work together to get the update working correctly to see what's going on if I know how I would work aside y'all as well
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
the rom is working properly with external gapps

just flash both zips in 1 go without reboot and wipe cache
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tech_Savvy:
Do i need to flash gapps if i do a clean flash? Are they included by default?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fossiltkm:
I just don't get it... I've followed the instructions in the op to the letter, but still have no gapps when I reboot.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
I'm getting a consistent "Error 20" when installing the Gapps (the arm64 nano package for 8.1.0), which is saying that it won't install because it thinks that the ROM is 7.1.2 Nougat, when in actuality the ROM really is on 8.1.0 (I can see this when I reboot). Has anyone else gotten this error too? Definitely weird. The March ROM had worked well for me.

Despite the struggles, I know we'll get it worked out - thanks for the update :)

edit: doing a clean flash btw

edit 2: got the rom working with gapps installed! problem seemed to be struggles with mounting /system when in slot A. Before going into twrp, I had to make sure to go into the recovery in slot A first (which was a Lineage OS recovery) and mount system there via the advanced options. then, I went into twrp (on slot B), switched to slot A in the reboot menu, and toggled /system mounting on and off. Then, it successfully flashed.

I'm seeing a couple of things with the rom for folks looking to update (RR bugs that might not be specific to this mata build):

- toast notifications are white text on a white background when on the light display theme

- live display is broken

Aside from these I haven't noticed any issues and it's running very smoothly.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bardochu:
Is this Rom work with cam 360?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
Has anyone else had luck getting new version working on clean flash?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gillim74:
I have heres the steps i took.flashed bts did a fastboot -w flashed rom rebooted to bootloader then twrp flashed open gapps micro version rebooted and profit.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
Cool thanks I'm going to try
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
How is everyone having issues with Gapps?

Despite what the op says, boot to recovery and flash rom...after flashing use the DD command found in the essential phone forums to pull the boot image or download the recommended kernel for the rom and keep it on the sdcard...after that, reboot to bootloader and fastboot flash twrp and boot into it...after your in twrp, flash the boot.img of your choosing and then flash Gapps...after you flash Gapps reboot your phone and profit...rather simple process.

And a quick sorry to the op but if you flash rom and the Gapps right after, Gapps flash to the wrong slot...they flash to current slot and not the one that the room flashes to...you must reboot recovery so your phone loads into the slot you just flashed the rom to
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gillim74:
Dont forget to flash boot.img.im using the nuetrino kernel and have no issues
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
Did you pull the boot.img or did you use magisk manager?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gillim74:
Im not using the one that came with the rom.download nuerino kernel and use that it works great with this rom
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
Great you have made things very clear for me. I currently installing is and as much as I love AOSIP, battery life and weird lag spikes keeps bringing me back here. Thanks for yours and bakedtators helps.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gillim74:
Anytime.if you have any more questions ill help the best i can
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fredgar75:
Dumb question, is hotspot unlocked on this ROM?

Or any custom ROM for this device? I just ordered it today.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
New build is running perfectly and the multi touch bug fix seems to be in too. Anyone know how to get notifications to be black and not white? My theme is black but notifications are still white. Is substratum the only solution? Thank you so much OP for this amazing ROM!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shoeprano27:
is KCAL built into the rom? or a kernel that works with this rom that has the KCAL feature? heres a better understanding of what KCAL is...

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/dev-kcal-advanced-color-control-t3032080

was just asking necause the AOSiP rom has this feature and it actually brings the colors out on this phone.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fossiltkm:
If KCAL is important to you, you may want to give Neutrino Kernel a go. It has KCAL options baked in.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Vember31:
The ROM doesn't have an ability to do this. You would want to look for a substratum theme that could. I use Swift Dark and it can turn the notification background to a dark gray.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
Cool thanks.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IH8TouchWiz:
The post was sent in error because I misread the post. I apologize.

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Syndrome666:
Okay I feel like a newb all over with this A/B partition/slot puzzle thing. I got the ROM to boot on first try but wish I saw your post earlier, although not sure I clearly understand it to the tee either. I attempted to follow op's instructions on post#1, Gapps failed to install (error 64, forgot what it was exactly). I'm also looking into installing Neutrino kernel/boot image as the stock RR makes the device a bit laggy at times and battery isn't too stellar. Also need Magisk as I do actually need root access and have the convenience of G-pay. Would you mind posting on how to get all this stuff together without errors? I'm usually much more adventurous with these things, but def don't have the time to experiment these days. I know I'll get accustomed to the process eventually, but I'm sure most, if not everyone feels this way about A/B slotted devices. I know this is the looming question that's been asked over and over, and everyone seems very patient with each other. I just noticed you seem knowledgeable about this device's setup process. There's just too many posts with incomplete or vague instructions. Simply installing the ROM is simple, but getting Gapps, neutrino kernel, and Magisk to all work in harmony is a bit of a puzzle. Also that inital essential Android official Oreo build (ending with .092), is that even necessary if the device was never modified previously? I attempted to flash the flash-all.sh file through terminal on my Linux machine, but keep getting "unknown command flash-all.sh", I've placed it in the platform-tools folder, everything works as far as running command lines through it, but for whatever reason it just wouldn't recognize that command. Is there a manual way of flashing that image? Sort of like we used to flash Nexus devices by partition with fastboot flash boot, bootloader, radio, recovery, system. I did't see any files of that sort in the provided OEM Android file. In any case any help would be awesome!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] charlatan01:
Yeah, okay. Usually I have these things down cold, but I've got something wrong here. Google Play Services keeps stopping. Also, no setup wizard no matter what I do.

Steps:

1) Booted into fastboot.

2) Changed slot to slot B

3) Installed TWRP

4) Boot to TWRP

5) Wipe Data / Format

6) Install ROM.

7) Wipe Dalvik / Cache

8) Reboot - setup (did not run).

9) Boot to Fastboot

10) Flash TWRP

11) Flash Nutrino Kernel

12) Flash GAPPS

13) Flash Magisk

Reboot. No setup wizard and GAPPS fail. I downloaded the 8.1 Micro ARM 64 Gapps.

I may go back to stock and start over....
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
I'll keep it simple homie...

Step 1...boot to bootloader and flash twrp

Step 2...boot twrp, wipe data and dalvik, flash rom

Step 3...boot to bootloader again and flash twrp. make sure you have the neutrino boot.img on you sdcard

Step 4...once in twrp, flash the neutrino boot.img and then flash the arm 64 nano Gapps

Step 5...reboot into your system and go through your setup

Step 6...reboot back to your bootloader, flash twrp, and boot recovery

Step 7...flash the boot.img again and then flash magisk, reboot profit

I know it seems a little silly but it 100% works following these steps...if you flash magisk before going through your first boot, the phone will boot loop...this should make it easier
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
Here is how I got it to boot.

Flashed bts

Reset with -w

Reboot To make sure phone is operational

Flash twrp

Flash RR Rom

Reboot to fastboot

Flash twrp

Flash neutrino kernel to boot.

Flash 8.1 stock 64arm gapps.

On a side note this wakelock is constantly running while my earphone are connected through essential dongle. Is this normal?

a800000.ssusb

It is 50% of my wake locks.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
Technically your phones usb is powering the attachment so yes...I think that wakelock is normal
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Joylesstuna:
That makes sense as I think the dongle is the DAC.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crixley:
You're correct it is.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Syndrome666:
Hey, it's really awesome of you [MENTION=3462598]BakedTator[/MENTION], thank you so much for such a prompt reply. Going to go try this out I'm sure your post clarifies a lot of steps for those of us trying to figure out why the instruction set per original post won't work correctly, at least not for the latest build.

By the way, is the stock essential firmware file (ending in .092) containing the flash-all.[bat, sh] file necessary to flash at all before flashing this (RR Oreo) or any other custom ROM? Or a simple traditional twrp clean wipe minus the internal storage fine?

Does this wipe both Slot A and B and does it really matter which slot I start with after fully wiping/formatting the device? and lastly, in step 7 of your instruction set, the boot.img you are referring to is the neutrino kernel, correct?

Thanks again, and I'm so sorry to ask so many, probably stupid, questions, but I feel like this will help clarify everything necessary to get this ROM fired up for everyone looking into this build or even other builds with A/B slot setup. Yeah I know, I'm overthinking this too much, but hey, I'm not feeling very adventurous with this device just yet, so I'd rather get the concept down first and then flash away, rather than make it into a days worth of experimenting.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ashwin Prabhunerurkar:
i have fixed the op so it indicates that

boot to twrp and select partition A

flash rom

reboot recovery into twrp again

select partition A

flash gapps

reboot
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Deandre7452:
Thanks Ashwin Prabhunerurkar you fix the rom I'm still in the March doing dang good with it so I guess it's good to update all over again
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
I followed your instructions to a T and was able to get gapps and magisk installed without any difficulty. Thanks for the easy to follow instructions!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Syndrome666:
How? His guide lost me on step 4, I get how to push pull via adb, but how in the hell can you flash nutrino.img from within twrp? Am i missing something here? I know it's not designed to flash image files but rather zip files. Is there a nutrino zip file? I was only able to find a nutrino img file. Obviously rebooting back to bootloader and flashing with fastboot would overwrite twrp and flashing twrp back would probably overwrite nutrino.

I even tried both of Ashwin's guides in the first post and the updated post, both won't boot for me.

Is nano gapps really that essential to use, I mean could using non-nano package cause this rom not to boot? someone got this rom booting with stock gapps, so that makes me think it's not the gapps package type, but who knows. If you can, let me know how you executed step 4, I just can't seem to wrap my head around flashing img files via twrp, or am I completely misunderstanding the whole thing?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
Click install button, and below there's a button to chose an image instead of a zip file.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Syndrome666:
Thanks you! going to try that now. Did you start on slot A and keep it on slot A throughout the whole process?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
No I just followed BakedTators post exactly as he wrote it.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ajay.b311:
Does it now work with any custom roms?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Syndrome666:
I got it running, can't believe I kept missing that button this whole time. Runs really good without issues at all. Flashed Pico gapps, no crashes or random reboots, just a butter smooth experience. Thanks for the hint
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MoistPicklez:
Good glad you're up and runnin'. ?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Syndrome666:
Anyone else experiencing finger print to unlock after reboot causing an endless "Android is starting" message on home screen?

Also restoring a Nova launcher backup causes the quick toggle shortcut notification shade to pop down every time when going pressing home or recents buttons and when opening or switching apps. Not sure if this is a Nova launcher bug or an issue with Android 8.1, but I did experience this same bug with AICP Oreo 8.1 on my Nextbit Robin as well. However when I set Nova to reset layout settings, this bug disappears.

That fingerprint bug also may cause phone boot screen to hang, just reboot again and it should take.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] billybong10:
You can also pull down the status bar go into settings/security and privacy click on your screen lock enter it and just back out and Android is starting will be gone. Slightly faster then rebooting.

I am having an issue with pinch to zoom in applications that have maps (not Google maps). Sygic navigation works fine, but trail forks, foursquare and others do not respond to pinch gestures. I tested trail forks on my son's phone, running the stock Motorola Android ROM, and pinch to zoom works as expected.

Tap to zoom does work, but it only zooms in and is a PITA. Thoughts? Need a log?

Hello,

Just bought this phone and love RR,,,just wondering if this version has all the same customization like others like the weather on the lockscreen etc?

I am having so many issues with the play store. I have to download one app at a time and at that I still have to FC the play store between every download. I am not restoring apps this I just for clean installs. Does anyone have a fix for this?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crixley:
Clear play store data and cache maybe. No issues with that here.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] eqbirvin:
I did try that and it was the same issue. Let me try it again though! Just in case

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

No such luck. Just sits at download pending. Did you dirty flash the latest or clean?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crixley:
Both lol..

Dirty for a week, then tried out a diff rom for a day and clean flashed to get back. Did not have issues before either. Maybe update APK from apkmirror to get to latest playstore?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] eqbirvin:
Well crap lol

What version are you running?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Deandre7452:
Are do like I did install Luck patcher go where the install modded playstore And pick the original 98 version let it install the playstore then it updates to the lastest playstore then your problem solve

Remember delete your install playstore in lucky patcher to install the other one

On latest ROM I clean flashed and installed stock gapps through link and do not have this problem. On all other versions of this ROM with gapps included I did have this problem. Just my two cents.
