I also have to hard reset a enormous amount of times/day with Faria R32 (which is said because I like it).

I found out that most of the times it freezes when it has to write something to the internal ROM (registry, OS config, alarms, etc) so I also suspect of bigstorage. I hope someone finds out...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
Well, I have nothing to lose :) I'll start with Faria's and turn off the SD Power Management.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] greatbal:
I have tried almost all WM6.1 roms out there. And I too were not spared with the random freezes/hard reset problem. Except for CRC's r9 which is non Big Storage, used it formore than a week without a problem. And i was convinced that the problem lies with the rom being BigStorage or not. Until I tried Shadow CE 2.1, which is BigStorage. I've been using it for more than a week without any problem, no experience of random freezing/hard resets.

I was even surprised that Shadow CE 2.1 is very stable for my device since i experienced freezing/HR problems with Shadow TE 2.1, which is, if I'm not mistaken, came from the same built.

BTW, power management is enabled on all roms that I've tried.

My system is as follows:

Cingular 8525

Radio 1.47.00.10

I would like to help out in testing, just for us to be able to discover what causes random freezes/hard resets. So i guess we just have to make a poll on what particular rom works for a particular Hermes version, and which Radio rom version people are using. I've read in some threads that Radio rom 1.54/1.57 works well with BigStorage roms such as Farias.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
Well, 2 days with Faria's Clean ROM with SD Power Management turned off and no Hard Reset. I did have two Soft Resets, but both times it actually just soft reset, before it would have hard reset. I'm going to give it 4 days, then try my preferred Naked 9b1 ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
I could find no mention of BigStorage or SuperStorage on the Shadow CE 2.1 or 2.0 threads. Are you sure it is?

Thanks!

Greg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
3 days and counting! Still not a single hard reset. Also, no further soft resets other than those initial 2. This is looking promising!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
try to make office apps on your hermes. then try running oxios free mem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
I'm not quire sure I understand what you mean by "make office apps".? If you can give me steps as to what you'd like me to do, I'd be happy to perform them and report back!

Thanks!

Greg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
Oh, I'm sorry. Try to create pocket word files, type some text into it. OR create some pocket excel files then save it. Then close the apps. Since, it's your third day, your memory might be depleted already. Try to run oxios free mem or similar app to free some memory. This was the last things I did prior to a freezing syndrome last night.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] greatbal:
i analyzed the rom image using the HTC ROM Image Editor, and there's no EXTROM, unlike the CRC rom. So I guess, it's big storage. Correct me if I'm wrong. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dan1967:
Not having and ExtROM in the .nbh not necessarily means is bigstorage but in this case (and most of the recent cases) that ROM is indeed bigsto.

Personally I am in favor of keeping the ExtROM as I have it fully loaded.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
Well, I created and saved 3 word files, created and saved 3 excel files on the device. Ran the Oxios free mem app and it freed up 7 meg.

Still running no problems. No freezes.

I installed Office2007 to SD card, and installed Oxios to SD card. Saved all files to SD card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
Nice to hear that. I have flashed with your method of disabling sd power management and have been running 48hours now. you must be on your 5th day? hope it lasts more than a week as I have seen a report that it froze after a week's use after making a voice call.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
Yes, this is the 5th day. I was going to reflash tonight, but will wait until Monday to give it a week. I hadn't heard about the week thing. So far, it's been rock solid though!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tjlabais:
I just came across it in the no ROM maker name edition :D he posted that after a weeks use of FARIA-R32, his device froze just after making a voice call.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
I think I can safely say that disabling the SD Power Management has solved all my 6.1 hard resets! I haven't had a single one in any 6.1 ROM once I've disabled that.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lostboy1952:
Just announced. Android P beta is live. https://www.google.com/android/beta#devices
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerys:
Just got the OTA on my Pixel XL on 8.1
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
I'm in if someone finds out how to root it. Or at least how we can install it via TWRP or adb. ;) Looks promising. The IO Keynote is kinda fun. Hope more stuff would be "available now" instead of *soon or *this year... :D
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AlPoo:
Wondering if tethering goes through a provisioning check or if we need to wait for a root exploit first

beta wont install with custom kernel, uninstalled magisk, no TWRP, but download still wont start.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
It will install over the Dev 1 preview. I unrooted, signed up for the beta and hit check for updates and it was there.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Wait, what? So I just have to unroot with the magisk uninstaller via TWRP, then install the OTA, then root again? But will that work with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gordietm:
I'm downloading now, but seems to be taking forever to download
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
I just opened Magisk and had it uninstall itself, rebooted and then hit check for updates and it installed fine. It did fail before I uninstalled Magisk. I can't say for sure how it will be with TWRP installed, I don't do that.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Thanks dude! I guess I'll try it later maybe.

But then how do/did you root your phone if you don't use TWRP?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
FYI, I have no wifi right now. It connects but 'no internet'. Working on it now.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c7j8d9:
Where's the new system navigation, dashboard and other features they just showed off?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Coming "soon"... :D
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c7j8d9:
So they showed off the new features of Android P and released the beta with none of them?...typical. Is it any different than the dev preview? Now I'm stuck with this ugly UI and none of the features I was interested in.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] perfoliate:
For swipe navigation, you need to turn it on in "Gestures"
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
I fastboot boot it and install the Magisk zip, and don't install the TWRP zip.

Found my WiFi problem. I was using Private DNS, looks like it is broke on Preview 2.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Sorry, can't tell you that since I am waiting for someone kind enough to provide instructions on how to install this with an unlocked bootloader/twrp/magisk. But since full image downloads for this DP2 are not live yet, as far as I know at least, I guess I'll have to wait some more.

And yeah, I feel like they used to show more new stuff "out now" in previous years. But the last few times they announced a whole lot of stuff coming *soon, over the next weeks, months, summer, fall, or whenever. It used to be way more fun for me to get a "new version of Android every year with lots of new features" instead of this gradual roll-out of features. At least that's my opinion.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c7j8d9:
your talking about swiping the fingerprint? that's not new
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] a1exus:
Android P or May?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mbonus:
ymmv, but I was on 8.1 April with twrp/mag16.3. Opted into Beta program and P-dp2 ota downloaded and installed without removing magisk. Note that I had not made any build.prop changes etc.

Once on dp2, fastbooted twrp, reboot recovery- installed full twrp, rebooted recovery -installed full magisk16.4. Magisk rooted fine and tether enabler module seems to work.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
You can grab the original preview image, edit out the -w in the flash all bat file and flash it. Then sign up for the Beta and grab the OTA. Then reroot.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Oh, just saw that the OTA is available to me now, I'm on 8.1 April as well. Maybe it'll work for me as well. Thanks!

Or maybe I'll just wait for the full image and flash it with adb and start from scratch, I personally like doing that from time to time, and then flash twrp and magisk on a clean install.

They already show up here:

https://developer.android.com/preview/download

I just can't download it yet for some reason...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mbonus:
We'll the links were not even there an hour ago when decided to give it a go with the ota, so maybe they're uploading. I probably would have gone that route as I think it's cleaner
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c7j8d9:
Is there no more System UI Tuner? Android P is crap so far!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerys:
P after opting in ofcourse ;)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Yeah, I absolutely agree. But now it's too late and the OTA is done. Just did the reboot. The full images can be downloaded now though. Argh, why do I have no patience when it comes to a new version of Android? :D

And well, it installed and rebooted fine, but I can't see my app drawer in Nova Launcher. Well, I guess I better do a clean install now that I have the full image. I gotta use adb anyways so, better to get a fresh start. :p
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerys:
You can enable the new system navigation under the Gestures section in the Settings app.

The option itself it called: Swipe up on Home Button
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zehlek:
Links are working now
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Yeah, thanks, already noticed as mentioned above and just installed it. But I can't enter twrp after fastbooting it because of the decryption. I tried 3.2.1.0 and 3.2.1.2. Now I'll try disabling the PIN. Maybe that'll let me boot TWRP and install magisk...

Alright, that was it. So, just to confirm:

fastboot the full dp2 image

do set-up process (don't set a PIN)

fastboot twrp 3.2.1.2 img

install twrp 3.2.1.2 zip

reboot recovery

install magisk 16.4 (16.0 won't work)

done

Tested with adaway and it works fine. I expected it to be harder to be honest but I'll take it. :D
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
I love it so far with the new gestures. Turned it on with a plan to turn it off after playing for a while. Looks like I'll use it this way instead. Everything has been refined and I love the new material. It's beautiful and purposefully detailed. It feels like I just got a new phone. I love it and anyone who doesn't has already made his mind not to like it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bush911:
Is it possible to update to android p dp2 without losing any data.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] y2grae:
oh it's painful

This is swipe navigation, not swiping the fingerprint scanner.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Well, technically yes. Just opt in to the beta and install the OTA. That didn't delete my data. Or install the full image via adb but remove the -w from flash-all.bat

I prefer to get a fresh start though and it works pretty well. Oh, and to fix the app drawer in Nova Launcher, if anybody wants to know, change the app drawer settings to show the horizontal scrolling one.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gordietm:
You can also change it to a vertical card background and it works. If you adjust thr transparency and color, it's the same
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] myvijay:
Does it have the may security patch? I had the charging issues which were fixed in the May update.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
It has the May security patches. But I don't know if it has the same charging system as O.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bush911:
thank you dude. upgraded via ota, the first boot goes well. after flashing magisk 16.4, the phone now freezes on G screen. what should I do.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
That sucks. Well, I guess your data is lost. Or maybe try flashing the magisk uninstaller zip and try to save your data.

To get Android working again, you may need to:

fastboot the full dp2 image

do set-up process (don't set a PIN)

fastboot twrp 3.2.1.2 img

install twrp 3.2.1.2 zip

reboot recovery

install magisk 16.4
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DriveEuro:
I did exactly the steps listed here flashing from DP1. Removed lock pattern first though. Don't set a lock pattern until after magisk is installed and verified working.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Glad to hear that I could be of help. :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bush911:
thank you, will try again.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TokedUp:
Just let it ride on the G logo. Took my pixel a while to boot up first time. I came from O, not PDP1.

Seems to me that a lot of the features that are mentioned in articles on the web are not present yet. Can't find dashboard, missing settings in the launcher, among others. Maybe it's just me?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaytv:
No Dashboard yet...for anyone, AFAIK.

Just installed yesterday and it seems good but there are some quirks.

I don't like they removed Low accuracy mode. I don't trust the apps because I know sometimes in high accuracy mode, apps even after exist still leave GPS active behind. This is a huge mistake.

I found a very interesting bug, and I do hope that is a bug and not a fck feature. When I have a Bluetooth device that has Media audio profile, notification sounds (for SMSs and alikes), simply don't play!!! Well they played over the bluetooth device but not over the phone!!! The only way to stop this is to turn off the bluetooth device. Fortunately I just have one device that I use more and it's in my car, to pass sound to my radio. Like I said I hope this is not a new feature. I want to have sms notifications through my phone and not my BT media device!!! Does anyone have the same problem??

Can't find a way to auto-rotate pixel launcher!!! Am I missing something?? They enabled the rotation button on Pixel laucher when auto rotation is disabled but it's not possible to rotate it when auto rotation is enabled!!! Ughhh!!!

I flashed the full OTA from 8.1. I'm getting some apps not opening at all. Gmail, Waze Beta and Twitter Alpha. Specially on Gmail, I have the latest version released today, does anyone have the same on gmail?? Already uninstalled but still the same...

Beside this eveything is ok and looking good.

Oh boy... another one from bluetooth settings.

When I try to connect to a bluetooth device by going to the BT Connected devices page, if I tap the device, nothing simply happens!!! Previously, if I did that it would try to connect to my device. I have a Xiaomi Bluetooth audio receiver in my car to pass audio to the inline audio input of my radio's car. When I enter my car I simply have to go to the connected devices page and touch xiaomi bt audio receiver. After he connects to my phone and I can start to play any music. Right now I can't do this... I have to go to the settings of the Xiaomi bt audio receiver and push the button Connect to actually do the job!!! Two more steps than the usual!!!

Can anyone confirms the BT Connected devices page behavior, that selecting a device from that page won't do anything (from trying to connect to your phone) ?

Only in September...

Anybody else encounter this problem while installing DP2? Bootloader and radio flash normally, but I can't get past 'system_b' 3/4. Spits out the error below:

sending sparse 'system_b' 3/4 (524284 KB)...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

Steps I've taken:

Downloaded and attempted to install DP2 (or PPP2) using fastboot update -w, received error above

Redownloaded DP2, tried flash-all, received error above

Downloaded and successfully installed OPM4 using flash-all

Went through 1st boot after installing OPM4, rebooted to bootloader before attempting initial setup

Redownloaded DP2, tried flash-all, received error above

Only things I can think of that could've caused issues are: coming from RR6.0 and having TWRP installed. But none of this should matter after installing OPM4. I'm going to try for the 3rd time...

2. Can't select text in the running apps list/slide

Usability issues:

1. With the new home button gesture, there's no way to quickly switch between two apps.

2. I should be able to open my apps list/panel directly without going through the running apps panel.

Exactly right, swipe about a half inch and let go. I've gotten used to it now and it's pretty slick.

However, I do not like the way the recents scroll so fast when holding all the way over. It's so nice for app 1 and 2 and then you hit the auto scroll and I don't dig it. Maybe just stay in the recents overview when you release in case you overshot? I dunno, I think I just need to get used to not letting go instinctively if I overshoot.
