[Motorola Droid Maxx] eeffeemorgan:
Hello everyone,

I own a Motorola Droid Maxx (xt1080), and one day it just decided to shut down. The phone was unrooted, and the bootloader was locked, and it had recently been factory reset. However, a couple weeks ago I pulled it out of my pocket and it wouldn't boot. All it does is show an orange motorola logo and then it shuts down. I can tried factory reseting it via recovery but nothing changed. So, I then tried to flash the stock rom with adb, but it won't show up on my computer. I found the latest motorola drivers, but still the phone remains useless. Please help!

Thanks.

Sorry for that many posts, but

I have been looking around and people say these 3 Roms are the best.

What is the best of them? I am on Bootleggers+AGNi right now and the performance in Pubg is great and I am getting around 6 hours SOT.

What is the most stable of them with best SOT and performance? (With AGNi or any other kernels?)

[Wing, P4350 General] foltz61:
I can't help with your problem but, I do want to say that you don't need to apologize for your english. You are easier to understand (perfectly clear actually) than some people that have posted before whom I have assumed are english. I hope this doesn't start a big discussion and ruin your thread. I just thought you should know. BTW I am American.
[Wing, P4350 General] kdskamal:
Hopefully, I can give a more meaningful answer than duprade ;)

First off, you canNOT permanently hide them. But, yes, you can quickly remove them by using clearTemp(search the google/forums and you'll find it). It has an option to clear the recent program list.

Please note that this feature is also there in Tweaks2k2.net but that app takes 4-5s to start as it based on .NET framework.

If you want it as 'sort of' permanent feature, then, you may give a try to wisbar advance 3. It uses its own start menu which actually overlaps the whole top bar. In that you can tell it whether to make the recent programs avaliable or not :)

Hope that was helpful :)

[Wing, P4350 General] speedblaster@yahoo.com:
you can also use DinoSoft MemMaid, it has an option to clear the recent programs history at start up. I have also seen several .cabs that clean the history except i don't have any on my computer. I hope that helped.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
I've been running OldDroid's OpenKirin for Honor 8 on my US (C567) Mate 9 for a few days and I'm very happy with it. It fixed the main bugs I've experienced with EMUI 8 since the Oreo upgrade. Those bugs include widgets not updating after a half hour even when exempted from battery optimization, some apps not working (e.g. US Topo, a GPS hiking app, that was battery-optimized to stop even when exempted from battery optimization), and EMUI's favoring its own launcher over third party launchers like Nova, sometimes to the point of crashing. Then there were irritants like apps that I don't use that couldn't be removed, EMUI lockscreen wallpaper whose magazine no longer updates. If I wanted to be tightly controlled, I'd buy an iphone.

So with Wirmpolter's patient help, I took the plunge and installed AOSP, specifically OldDroid's OpenKirin for the Honor 8. This is a treble-based OS, with some specialization for the Kirin processor. I've written an installation guide aimed at a relatively inexperienced installer:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76231795&postcount=23

All of my major and minor frustrations with EMUI have been resolved. All my apps work. All the hardware works (although I have to turn off the equalizer to get music to play through the headphones). The camera and video work great. Battery life is good. You can install without replacing the stock recovery, which is good because if you don't touch the stock recovery, it is pretty much always possible to unbrick your phone.

If you are eyeing a new phone or thinking about rolling back to Nougat because of your dissatisfaction with Oreo/EMUI 8 on the Mate 9, then I'd suggest trying OpenKirin. It worked for me.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vankata1:
Hi! Does the headphone jack work with 3rd party music players and video players like say VLC? I have a lot of music on my SD so will the app be able to read it? Also, compared to stock EMUI how would you rate battery life?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijer:
Thanks, looking forward to this.

Although, not willing to be a guinea pig at the moment. Hoping some others will try this out and give some feedback. Definitely, need a fully functioning camera, including video.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
Works with VLC

VLC works with headphones -- I use VLC, though my main music player is Music Folder Player Full, which also works with headphones. (If you carry a lot of music organized into folders, check it out.) Neither app can see the SD card, so you would have to move music to the main storage with the Files program in order to access it with VLC. I carry about 10GB of music, so I copy all of it onto main storage. Again, to make the headphones work, I use Simple Tiny Equalizer to turn off the equalizer. You can do this in app, too.

I'm finding battery life about the same, possibly a bit worse. I used to end a day with about 30% remaining, and now I end it with 20%. Small sample. I might be using it more intensely, though, or EMUI's aggressive battery management that disables widgets and apps may have saved some battery.

As an aside, VLC can see my local network, like a Windows PC. I can play music and videos at home from my NAS. I didn't know Android could do this.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
Guinea pig

My willingness to be a guinea pig was very much influenced by (1) having a pretty great backup phone (ZTE Axon), which I set up first and used during the process and (2) the time I was spending looking at new phone announcements and reviews, gearing up to ditch my phone. But I like the Mate 9 -- fast, big battery, big screen, fantastic camera, headphone jack -- and I don't really want to start carrying a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle around. There was nothing wrong with the phone except EMUI 8.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijer:
The Mate 9 is the best phone I have owned so far and I am considering the Mate 10. I hate the pro version, don't like those long skinny screens.

EMUI 8 is okay (I don't access settings often and I don't have any issues using Nova Launcher), but I would like to get rid of some of the locked in software (Duo, Facebook App Manager, Email, Gboard, Google, Google Play Movies/Music, Hi Care, HiSuite, Huawei Home, Huawei Mobile, Music, Notepad - a lot can be disabled but why not just allow deletion?) and I would really like to use OpenGapps Pico. But I really need to access my ExtSd from PowerAmp and Moon+Reader, so that is the real deal breaker.

Are you able to use OpenGapps? Does the vanilla Oreo come with Google's bloatware too?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
OpenGapps

I'm with you on the long, skinny screens. I carry my phone in my shirt pocket most of the time, and it just barely has its center of gravity below the top edge of my pocket. Any taller and it will fall out even more frequently.

EMUI occasionally asked to replace Nova, and would crash if I added a EMUI widget to the homescreen. I hadn't realized how many apps couldn't be removed. For me, Facebook App manager is especially awful as I'm not on FB and FB track non-users, e.g. through the Like button on third party websites.

Not all the Gapps were embedded but some were. I think I had to add Gmail but Play, Google (search app), Chrome etc were present. It appears I can't uninstall the Google search app. (Of course, with the phone rooted, I can.) OpenKirin is not a vanilla AOSP in that way.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KitsuneUK:
Did you try/can you try viper4android? ive been trying to get it working on emui8 and have had no luck.

really wanting to switch to aosp
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
viper4android

The reviews are too negative, especially claiming popups, for me to try this. I'm not saying that the reviews are accurate as they often are not. But I've had to hard reset sometimes to remove a pernicious app, and this one isn't worth the risk. Sorry.

A cleaner version of android is more likely to run any app that didn't come from the phone manufacturer.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijer:
Ya, I remember having an issues with one or two widgets, but then I decided I didn't want all that stuff and just made three widgets using KWGT widget maker and I haven't had any issues since, except occasionally the music pause/start doesn't respond.

I was able to remove many apps, but those I listed, and most of those can be disabled. Still, would rather have a clean ROM.

Some of these app issues are Google changes. I used to use ROM Toolbox Pro to remove apps but Google made them remove the feature. I think Google is trying to force more apps like Chrome and Search on us. I don't use the Gmail app, instead I use AquaMail which is a superior interface and I have 7 email accounts that it manages.

Did you try installing OpenGapps? I did on the Huawei Oreo and it installs but then the phone boot loops. I used the pico version which has the bare minimum Gapps. Don't know if the issue is the way Huawei made the ROM or if this is a Google change.

Anyway, the biggest issue is the limited support for the external SD card. Maybe a future update will resolve that issue.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
I'll definitely update when OldDroid does, at least fairly quickly, and report if the next version improves the SD card. I'm doing all right with it just as a source of backup files.

I found another advantage of OpenKirin. I didn't get google maps directions over bluetooth in car (an Audi) since updating to Oreo/EMUI 8. I'm not sure why. I tried deleting and re-adding the connection, which didn't fix it, and music and telephone calls played fine over bluetooth, so it wasn't the bluetooth connection. Now bluetooth directions work perfectly, as well as music and calls (which did before).
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijer:
I took the plunge and flashed OpenKirin - it's decent, limited bloat, but I just can't live with the external SD card access problem. Hopefully, OpenKirin developers will work on it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] IOmega666:
How's the performance? I tried Phh-Treble, RROS and Lineage OS, this last two are for the Honor View 10, all of them work, can read external SDCard but all of them have performance issues, when you are heavy using the phone, switching from app to app, copypasting things, taking photos, etc., the phones lost all kinds of smoothness that seems to have when you just flash it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vijer:
Sorry, I can't answer your question. I have too much on my external SD to live without it. 300 ebooks 2000 mp3s 400 videos several hundred images

Camera app can't see the storage

Root explorer can't see the storage

PowerAmp can

QuickPik can't

Moon+Reader cant

VLC can't

So after fiddling with it for a while I went back to MHA-L29 8.0.0.368
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
I haven't noticed any performance issues after about a week of uptime. I don't game, though, so may not stress the system like some do.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] IOmega666:
Yeah I know that bug, experienced it in Phh-Treble, hopefully is easy to fix and it was fixed on Phh-Treble, so it'll be soo fixed on this OpenKirik AOSP, what matters most to me is performance :(

I guess it deservers a try-
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
I finally took the dive and installed this on my primary device last night.

Ran into one issue: apparently, Huawei pulled the unlock request page offline. All of the available links to it that I could find went to a 404 page. (DC Unlocker to the rescue, I guess.)

In any case:

No issues with headphones. A few minor graphical glitches with the volume control panel and similar things but that's about it.

Magisk gets Google Pay and other SafetyNet demanding apps working, AdGuard doesn't mysteriously stop running because of overly aggressive memory management, dual SIM functionality seems fine.

45 minutes SOT, 92% remaining. No performance issues of note, aside from the minor graphical glitches feels smoother than EMUI did.

Update: I found something that gets rid of the graphical glitches, which (so far) seems to have a negligible effect on performance. Turn on GPU rendering profiling to be output to adb, all of the weird scrolling and clipping glitches go away...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
GPU Rendering

I have a "Profile GPU rendering" under developer options, defaulted to Off, with two other options: On screen as bars, and "In adb shell dumpsys gfxinfo". Is the latter what you mean by output to adb, or am I missing something? I hadn't noticed glitches, other than occasionally missing half of the first line of text in some reading apps. With the in adb setting, I was unable to replicate that glitch, but it doesn't happen often, so could be unrelated.

When I choose "In adb shell dumpsys gfxinfo" and then restart, it returns to off.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
The latter is what I meant. The glitches I keep seeing are:

1) The volume panel, when it's opening and closing, seems to lose it's edges. As soon as the animation is complete, of course, it returns to normal.

2) In Chrome, at least, when scrolling through a select box, the edges of it seem to stick (top and sides).

I've seen a few others, mostly in the same vein. It usually looks to be as though a scrollable view isn't clipped correctly by the underlying driver, and turning on profiling causes it to render strictly.

I'm not surprised that it turns itself off at reboot, I haven't rebooted this since I got everything installed on it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
I replicated 1) and that your fix works. I had noticed some scrolling artifacts in Firefox, but don't seem to be able to replicate them at the moment. But then, I notice scrolling artifacts on laptops, too. I'll leave it set to adb.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
I'm at a loss why this would work -- it seems like it should write info to a file, based on this discussion

https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-shell-dumpsys-tool-and-what-are-its-benefits

and that should delay, not speed up, the graphics.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
You're right, it seems like it should be slowing things down and recording data... I went looking to see if I could find any information about the overhead of having that turned on, couldn't find much, figured I'd just leave it for a while since it seemed to clear up any graphics issues I was seeing. Doesn't seem to have slowed anything down, memory usage hasn't gone up significantly, battery life is about where I expect it for this time of day, so...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
I did encounter one other thing with this ROM, which bit me this morning: the default ring & notification tones are both set to "None"... Wouldn't have been a problem, except that my boss was calling at 3:30 because something was down...
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
That's odd

My phone definitely had a default ringtone; my dislike of it was what made me remember to change it.

The other bug I have is the lack of fast charging -- charging is quite slow on chargers that used to be fast. Since I typically just charge at night, it hasn't been an inconvenience, but could be for others.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
I dunno, I checked on 2 separate devices with the same ROM installed. They both said no ringtone and no notification sound, and I never changed them.

And while it's not taking in 22.5w during charging, it still seems to charge pretty quickly, at least up to the end. Not as fast but same as you, I usually charge at night anyway.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] prestonmcafee:
I seem to have another bug. When I turn the notification sound off -- either manually or with the night program -- it doesn't come back on. So far the only fix is a restart. I silence my phone pretty often and I don't get audible notifications, even the phone ringing, after, until I turn the phone back on.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
Can't say I've run into that one yet. I've run into other issues with various things FCing - the current version of Magisk Manager goes splat immediately after startup unless I clear it's data, Facebook randomly quits while I'm in the process of reading something, little annoyances like that. Also, Google Pay, while it works, occasionally struggles with actually using a card - no particular rhyme or reason to it that I can see.

I loaded up the CarbonROM preview from the View 10 forum on my other device, which seems to be working pretty well on there, though I haven't fully tested it out yet. (I do like the fact that the stock browser on Carbon doesn't add it's own window management on top of the already existing Android window management. But that's just a personal opinion.)
