Hi. Should work on any pie. But might happen that playstore refuses to install. In that case you can find it also on apk mirror. It didn't show up on my settings but i used the following app to make it appear in app drawer: Pixel shortcuts launcher/digital wellbeing.

With that you can create a shortcut. You can also check action dash.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
Ahh... it is for Pie only and not Oreo? Duh! :cyclops:
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xXx:
yes, only for Pie
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
Thx. Does xXx 4.5a automatically detect OS during the install and not flash Wellbeing if on Oreo or does it still try to install some of the files? In other words, do I have orphaned files floating around?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xXx:
4.5a detects if you are on Pie. If you are on Oreo and selected wellbeing the selection is simply ignored.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
Genius! :good:
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RoughNeck1971:
If you want to stay on oreo then try actiondash. Has same functionality as digital wellbeing. Should work.

Hey [MENTION=1030560]xXx[/MENTION], Is there any way you could add FP gestures as a feature? I know its probably impossible, but if you have time i'd really like to hear your input on it.

Thanks a tonn for this amazing piece of software you cooked up! :)

Question I'm on OB11 and I just noticed the greyscale from Wellbeing isn't working
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] stefantana:
Yeah, I also noticed that it doesn't work on OOS 9.0.3 (OP6) either.

Also I can't theme it with Substratum or Swift Installer. It gaves me errors regarding package name.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ulxerker:
and ... your question is?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ricardowec:
4.5b is working well after upgrading from 4.3 except for GPS and LTE performance.

I keep on loosing GPS connection and my LTE does not connect in places it used to before.

Is there anything I can f o to improve those?

Cheers

Edit I am o. OOS 9.0.3

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] fireguy0306:
I am running 4.5a. the night light works just fine, it's just the greyscale that isn't working.

What version is in the NoLimits build?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lemonspeakers:
I was on 4.3 and it was amazing. I did a full system wipe and flashed 4.4 which caused a huge battery drain. It was strange. I uninstalled 4.4 and flashed it back to 4.3 which restored it back to normal.

Now I'm hesitant to flash 4.5a. I don't wanna start over again.

Whenever I flash a new ROM. I fully wipe everything and bring nothing to the new ROM except a few music files. Everything is in the cloud. And yes, I re-enter and set-up my credentials on every single app again. Nothing beats starting fresh.

My device is running better than ever on xXx 4.5a and OOS 5.1.7! :good:
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] seniug:
How much sot are you getting +/-? I just installed 4.5a and it seems worse than before but probably it is because of its first cycle right? Running ob21 in op5. Also, should I install busybox? Does it change anything on particular? Sorry for too many questions but I pretty new with this module
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
delete.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] panooos:
I would check that the settings that you chose when you flashed the module are working properly
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
I asked over on the SmurfKernel thread. I want to use this in combination with SmurfKernel. They mention I flash Kernel > Magisk > Kernel in that order. If this is a Magisk ROM, what's the flash order to use both this and SmurfKernel in combo?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] panooos:
I have always flashed kernel after xXx with no problems. Never had to flash Magisk separately.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
Okay, I am on the OP6T and I know this is for the OP6, but am I not supposed to see the Magisk manager app? In the OP6T, I didn't have to choose anything in the TWRP interface when flashing this ROM. It did everything on its own and said that xXx was installed. Sorry for the noob questions. I'm just used to flashing Magisk separately.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] panooos:
On OP6 at least, after flashing xXx, Magisk manager is there. I never had to flash it again. Not sure what the situation is with OP6T. So you flash xXx and you cannot see Magisk?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Flying Fox:
This flash order ist independent from the xXx-module/Rom. It is only recommended if you come from another kernel or haven´t flashed magisk yet.

xXx works flawless as always. I get 6 to 7hrs SOT, which is pretty good for ob11, Anyway it does´t say much about the usage and real battery drain. Finally I only can compare my configurations and combinations. And with xXx (and smurf) I get the best out of my device.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
That is correct. This is what I did:

Placed xXx.NoLimits.profile in /sdcard

Booted TWRP

Flashed SmurfKernel

Rebooted Recovery

Flashed xXx_NoLimits_4.5a_OP6_magisk_rom.zip

Rebooted System

I don't see Magisk Manager nor did I have to do anything in the TWRP installer process. There's nothing in the actual settings or anything that shows I am using xXx?

I am coming from stock OOS 9.0.11 and stock kernel.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] panooos:
What's the starting position though? Do you start stock, rooted with Magisk?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
Stock, unlocked bootloader. I should go ahead and root with Magisk then do the process?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] panooos:
Yes please. I thought that was what you were starting like. My fault for not asking...

Remember that xXx is NOT a ROM like the others you may have been used to. It's a Magisk moduke, that once applied makes all the changes that you have selected.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
Much better.. thank you. Sorry for the noob questions. The install instructions aren't really clear for the OP6T. One last thing, do I still go in and make my adjustments such as restricting battery usage on apps and whatnot?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] panooos:
If you want to, yes. But I would give it a go for a few days without touching anything to see how that works for you. I'm extremely pleased with battery life from xXx. I doubt you will actually need to do anything.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
So this is pretty much a set and forget ROM? With that being said, do I need to download additional modules in Magisk? I know OP mentioned things like LTK which I had to download myself prior to xXx, but is that all included with the install of this ROM?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] panooos:
I use it as set and forget,yes.

You can download all the modules that you want/use. I personally use none. But you don't NEED to download anything if that's what you're asking.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
Thank you. What I meant by downloading additional modules is because in the OP, it's mentioned "Major Flash Options" which are Magisk modules. Are these already preloaded with this ROM or just showing those are available to download?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] panooos:
Those are the settings/options that you can tweak by modifying the .profile file.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
You must first be on a OOS stock ROM (stable or beta) with Magisk running properly. Download and edit xXx.NoLimits.profile and choose desired options. Then flash the xXx_NoLimits Magisk module. Reboot and experience optimized Greatness! :good:

After running xXx a few days, flash a custom kernel if you feel the need or if just curious. It is strongly recommended to backup everything with TWRP before playing with custom kernels in case things go bad.

I average 6-8 hours SOT depending on my YouTube and gaming usage.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] seniug:
Ok, will leave xxx for a few days to see. I went back to Oreo from pie because of its poor performance and first cycle with oreo was 6h and second 8h but now I flashed xxx to see if it gets better:)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
I am totally happy with my xXx powered OP5 running OOS 5.1.7 Oreo (stock kernel).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
Is there a reason why I am unable to change the USB preferences for file transfers when plugging in my cable now that I flashed this & SmurfKernel?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
Could you change it before you flashed Smurf?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
Sorted. I had to disable USB debugging, unplug my cable, enable USB debugging, then plug it back in.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
This xXx mod simply rocks! ??
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nostradomis:
I used to use a OnePlus 5 and with xXx on oos 8.1 and it was outstanding indeed. I am good in my 5 to a 6T and was kind of worried because I like the five so much.

The OnePlus 6T with xXx on oos pie 9.11 is the best phone I've ever owned. not only SOT, Speed and smoothness incredible, but the A / B boot partitioning is excellent.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lieblingsbesuch:
So I did this mod on my OP6t.

How can I reset the phone that I can set it up from scratch without losing this mod or magisk??

I could reset it but then i'd lose my magisk installation. But I need to skip the installation assistant at the beginning to gain root with magisk. Tricky.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Mar-cel:

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lieblingsbesuch:
Thank You.

I experienced two other things:

- "OnePlus Wallpaper" and Nvbackup is still running in background. Is this needed?

- The OnePlus Messages App is still on the phone although it should be replaced with the google messages app

- The OnePlus Gallery is still on the phone although it should be replaced with google photos

- OnePlus clock is still present. I prefer the Google clock.

- OP Camera App is still present

I suggest to debloat these three Apps in future versions because they can be replaced with programs of choice.

Nevertheless, the script is great so far. I experienced no bugs so far and my battery life is amazing. It tells me 5 days left now. Before I got 3 days max.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
I can't remember but if you goto etc/xxx there's a xxx_kernels.sh file which has the changes. I have it disabled so I can't show it. But you can find the parameters changed if you can understand a bit of code.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
I think any of the preloaded Google Apps are intrusive whether it's privacy or battery. I believe OnePlus Camera is still there because the GCam app isn't stable.

I disabled OnePlus Gallery and replaced it with Memoria (https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-beautiful-sleek-material-design-t3884037). I wouldn't go with any other Gallery app, honestly.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lieblingsbesuch:
Okay so everyone has its favorite app. Does not matter. I still don't understand why there is no option to debloat these default apps.

Hey, amazing work on this rom>

I have 2 questions

Why does everytime I install this my gmail, maps and chrome get uninstalled?

Why after the screen is off for some time my WhatsApp Web loses connection with my phone telling me is off, and if I turn the screen on it work again?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ulxerker:
1. You debloat these apps via the profile file.

2. Try to exclude WhatsApp from battery optimization and disable advanced battery optimization.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] archraziel:
Thank you.. I will try that
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JeanEatsWorld:
Ok, I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.

I'm on OP5, last beta. I tried to install the xxx 4.5a.

If I enable (1) from "individual debloat selection" Gmail doesn't work no matter what, it is FC as soon as I try to open it. I tried to enabling/disabling wakelocks and other things but the problem is within the section

IndividualDebloatSelection = 1

I attached my profile but I believe I didn't mess with that section at all. It just doesn't want to work. It must be related to something that gets debloated. Anyone does have an idea?

Update: I found something on the OP5 thread. Silly me that I haven't looked into it before and I was just consulting this thread.

I'll try and post the result.

Update 2: yep, my bad. Was enough to update webview. All good

Put the profile file into the xxx folder of your phone after you made the desired changes, then flash xxx.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] seniug:
SOT should be better with xXx or it isn't a module intended to enhance battery life?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ulxerker:
Yes, for me it is, but you have to disable kernel tweaks in the profile file for that.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] seniug:
Thanks. I had it enabled and ended up uninstalling xXx because I thought that stock was better. Will try now
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
You can debloat anything with Titanium Backup.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Yes there should be some gains with it. Nothing crazy though. You may not notice it
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] archraziel:
The debloat thing worked

But I am still having trouble with WhatsApp Web, after a few minutes of screen off it tells me the phone is disconnect and when I turn the screen on it takes sometime to show new notifications, I disabled App Battery optimization, what else must I do for it to work the right way?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] seniug:
I found out that installing this mod enables usb debugging in developer options. It is not necessary to have it enable all the time, also I think it's bad having it enable while not using
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dirty2k9:
Are you using notepad++ to edit the profile file? Per the OP you have to use notepad++.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
Question.. for tweaks in the profile such as Sound Mods and Emojis, is it okay to have more than one enabled? Eg. If I want standard emojis plus the iOS 12.1, will it just give me one or the other or both?

Also, same as above. When editing via Notepad++, none of my changes take affect.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Macusercom:
It will use the last one in the script that is set to 1. In that case it would be the iOS 12.1 emojis.

Should work, did you transfer it properly from your PC?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
I edited it in Notepad++, saved it, copied over to internal storage. Restarted my phone, nothing changed. Right away, I should notice my boot animation as I chose the McLaren one. I also tried just doing an edit with the profile file already being in internal storage; still no luck.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Macusercom:
You need to reflashed xXx to apply profile changes.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
Reflashing won't affect anything with my phone already being setup, will it?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ArchEnemy':
Make a Folder with the name xXx and copy the config file into it. Should be as Internal Storage/xXx/
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mobbdeep:
I did this. Still nothing. I guess I need to reflash?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] refedit:
Had same issue.

Disable xXx module in Magisk. Reboot to system, flash xXx uninstaller through Magisk and reboot. Now you should be fine again to flash xXx module
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
Any time you edit the .profile, you must reflash the xXx module for your changes to take effect. Create and store the .profile in /sdcard/xXx.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Koont:
Is there any way to edit the profile without a PC?

Kernel tweaks are mainly for better performance which usually is a slight hit to battery life.

Aren't those tweaks redundant when using Smurf kernel? I'm running xXx with them on and although the phone is fast af I think my battery is taking a hit.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
My battery definitely takes a hit but I think it's worth it. Unfortunately, the Smurf Kernel is not available for my OP5.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
[MENTION=9496965]jslawler[/MENTION] might know more for what exactly was changed than I would.

On the old .sh file it was more of a smoother experience along with other changes to enhance the overall phone. (Ie. 1 second of low boost, VM changes, entropy tweaked, etc). On a clean sheet kernel like EX or cleanslate the tweaks worked great. On another kernel which has its own changes I would say use the kernel devs vision instead.

Now unless recently this has changed, I'd assume it's still the same.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xXx:
The Kernel Tweaks are indeed to improve performance. This is also explained in the OP. Nevertheless, NoLimits also help to reduce battery drain on the other side. I attached some screenshots showing what I achived in combination with the Smurf kernel. The Battery stats are exeptional where I did 2 days relaxing and mainly chatted and watched videos. Didn't run any power wasting apps.

All screenshots was with all xXx tweaks enabled, nearly everything debloated and Smurf kernel running on performance mode
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
Those stats are insane! ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xXx:
yes, but at the end its more important that the device provides you with a good user experience. For some people this would be best performance in games and for others it's more battery life. Everybody have a different usage profile. These stats should just give an idea what's the potential for both extrems

Probably the wrong thread for this question, but I've been out of the game for awhile so here it goes.. Beta4 for the is set to drop in a couple of hours. I'm running No limits (love it!) with Smurf kernel, if I flash the new beta what do I need to do to not lose root? I ask, because when I just did a Local update to Beta3, I had to jump on the computer and reflash twrp etc.. Since I won't be near a computer today, I want to know if there is a way to flash it without doing that. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
