Will you release this new version of chronic as a separate flashable zip? I'd like to see how it works on the official lineage builds.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Yes included in PE and as separate zip.

Hi would be travelling out of country next month, wud the phone app work in roaming? Is there any known issues in roaming?
[Nextbit Robin] tallertoler:
This is more than likely a user error since I am definitely a total noob, but I can't seem to successfully flash SuperSu within TWRP. It always transitions to system-less mode and during the boot image patcher dialog, it ends with "---failure, aborting" after "- patching sepolicy".

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I know that I could try magisk instead, but now apps within the phone recognize that my phone is rooted even though I don't have the SuperSu app installed.
[Nextbit Robin] nate5683:
Thank you so much for this ROM! I have been using it for a month now, it is basically flawless, there are a few glitches here and there but overall the usability is amazing! The camera is fantastic! It will make me stick with my Robin for a long time! To be honest I have two of them and they both have this ROM now, I ditched my Note 8 and am using my Robin again. Thanks!
[Nextbit Robin] SHADOWNEKOZ:
About Camera

Pls fix the camera because when I take some photo it will do like it not respond and then it crash pls fix. :(
[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
use magisk
[Nextbit Robin] anavalnyy:
Why can't I install it? What shall I do?
[Nextbit Robin] Omdad:
This is the first rom I install coming out of stock and I'm so glad I did. Thank you so much it works amazingly well. It's obviously not perfect but way better than my experience with this phone. I will definitely support this project
[Nextbit Robin] YUAman:
That's so bad

There will no OTA for Robin Nextbit. Why? No Experience 9?
[Nextbit Robin] iMohamedYaseen:
Dev will make Pie based PE ROM once he gets time. Wait for LOS16 , ROMs will flow through afterwards
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
Actually , NurKeinNeid doesn't have any projects for pie at this moment , so I don't know if there will be PE 9 , but you can always flash Xenon HD pie ( AnierinB built it's very smooth ) or you have Havos OS Pie , AOSP Extended Pie, and some other ones

Have fun with those ;)
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
We've discussed me building PE pie and testing the stability and performance prior to him working on it. That way I can give him feedback if it's worth his time and effort to develop it right now.

From what I've experienced, aosp based pie ROMs built from Los 16 trees have had some issues regarding performance (e.g, havoc 2.1, aospe pie) unlike how 15.1 trees to aosp 8.1 ROMs was/has been. Every ROMs different and besides, even the current 9.0 ROMs and 16.1 trees are far done.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
Yes, it does for new notifications.
[Nextbit Robin] yours_krish:
does this rom support volte:confused:
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
No, as the ether lineage device tree for 8.1 is not complete yet. If you want to have an LOS ROM with Volte and keep this rom I suggest you dualboot this and a LOS 14.1 ROM. Or just stay with omni 8.1 until the LOS tree is finished. Just my 2cents
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
How to install setps would help someone like me who is a newbie

I am a newbie to this. Thanks everyone for all the great work. Just want someone to enumerate step by step how to install this on Nextbit Robin.Thanks :)

Also guidance on how the phone can be backed up and everything restored when the upgrade steps are complete would be very helpful.
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
everything seems to work including VoLTE

I managed to install it and everything seems to work fine including VoLTE on my T-Mobile.

I have a question on the side, how the OS upgrades will work like security patches and stuff , will it be OTA?

Thanks
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Yes, it will be OTA after next build if everything goes well.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Update Time! :fingers-crossed:

[Nextbit Robin] demeez:
I had this weird issue on the unofficial version where for some reason the play store told me Instagram was not compatible with my device. To be honest I didn't check to see if any other apps had the same issue, that was the most noticeable one that stood out to me. Not sure if you use it but I'd appreciate if you could confirm it's able to be installed from the play store on the latest version. Thanks!\

EDIT: Just installed the latest build and instagram still won't install. Very weird.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
Have you clean flashed any of the recent builds? Also, I experienced the same issue on a recent unofficial AICP 7.1.2 build. I was able to install Instagram through the play store using this ROM and every test build that has come my way from Alex. For the meantime, I suggest you grab Instagram from apk mirror and Install it manually.

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/instagram/
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
Can you explain me the impact of these changes on the device performances, because I'm a newbie in kernel .
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
What exactly do you want explained? Is there a specific point in the changelog?
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
Yes: the driver reference to HZ , DCache word access and Arch power
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I'm not a kernel guru either, but I try to research things and see what other developers have done in your kernels especially for ether.

The advantages of Config_hz 1000 are explained in this article: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/debug/jank_jitter

These reference things are to make config_hz 1000 compatible.

Arch Power patch causes arch dependent power functions to be used instead of generic high resolution timer ticks and double ticks.

Unfortunately I cannot explain the advantage of CPU dcache word access. I found it in the electron kernel for ether and think frap129 will know what he's doing.
[Nextbit Robin] Rimmer1966:
Really enjoying this ROM, would it be possible to implement this change

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76713095&postcount=463 I used Shunjous' Kernel with this change and didn't encounter any issues with it. It gets rid of that annoying delay when you plug the charger in.

Thanks again for the ROM, looking forward to the updates to come.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I already read and thought about it, but I wanted to be sure because the LOS team decided against this change. I will test it myself and maybe add this commit if I am satisfied with it.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
[MENTION=3054511]Rimmer1966[/MENTION] I've already merged it. If I don't notice anything unusual this week then it stays in and will be included in the next build.

[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
Is there a recommended approach to update till OTA

I wanted to know is there a recommended approach to updating the ROM till OTA update is available without losing data from phone like apps and settings. If that's a bad idea then let me know, I will wait till the build that has OTA capabilities so that I will have to reset the phone just once more .

Thanks
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
This may help...

[Nextbit Robin] rahul200023:
I really appreciate this rom and all the work you have put in to it, definitely best oreo rom we have rn (I switched form omni), is it possible to see a build of dot os in the near future?
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
You are now already the second one who mentioned DotOS. I don't plan to offer any more ROMs I need to update regularly, but maybe I can upload a build to AFH if I have time.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
small teaser... :p
[Nextbit Robin] Raiz:
I'm looking forward the next build ??

This announce a good battery life ( I hope I'll can use YouTube more than 3h ?;)
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
This should announce CPU OC, UC and new frequency table. I hope it's an improvement.
[Nextbit Robin] Sparubens:
Thanks for everything you do Nurk. Keeping this device alive :)
[Nextbit Robin] bilged:
Great rom thanks for all the hard work. Is there any way to disable volte? I can't receive calls and the volte icon is showing as active. Thanks!
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
You have to activate the SystemUI Tuner. Just press and hold the settings icon in the quick settings.
[Nextbit Robin] bilged:
Thanks that fixed the icon display but the call issue is still present. Basically I can make outgoing calls no problem but for incoming calls there is no audio on either end. Is this a volte issue or something else? Anyone else have a similar issue?
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
It is already known and is mentioned in the OP, in my last release post and several other times in this thread. Since I can't use the service, would you be willing to test and send logs if necessary?
[Nextbit Robin] bilged:
Sure I can do that if you post instructions. On T-Mobile btw. Also as a quick fix on the next release can you add in a way of disabling volte?
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I'm not the one who decides what comes into the ROM and what doesn't, but I can suggest it. Have you seen this option in another ROM for Robin? Does this work on OmniRom, for example?
[Nextbit Robin] bilged:
No. When I googled it the results were all for stock Samsung phones.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Then I'm gonna have to disappoint you. I don't think that's possible.
[Nextbit Robin] Rimmer1966:
Don't know it it'll work but can't you change the preferred network? Go to settings, network & internet, mobile Network, advanced.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I had problems with the Google camera. After testing each commit, it turned out that the wake on plug fix caused the problem. Snap camera seems to works well. Now the question is what to keep in. Wake on plug fix or Google camera?
[Nextbit Robin] Rimmer1966:
It's a shame that it causes issues. My vote would be to keep the Google camera, it adds to the pixel experience I think?

Hopefully a proper fix for the wake lag will turn up soon. Thanks for trying it though.
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
VoLTE issue update

I am also on T-MOBILE and the VoLTE works for outgoing calls only. Actually the phone does something weird, it will switch some kind of mode the VoLTE icon will go away and for a split second the network also goes away and then the phone call goes through. This is all for outgoing. For incoming I can hear the other side and complete silence from my side. However when my phone is connected to my car over Bluetooth both can speak easily. So I am not sure what's going on. I think it is important somehow this issue gets fixed. If I am given the steps I can help in testing.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I'll try something and let you know when I have something to test.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
When you used shunjou's kernel was that Nougat or Oreo?
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
switching preferred network doesn't fix

I forgot to mention switching from LTE to 3G also doesn't fix the incoming call issue. I haven't tried to to switch to 2G but that would be a terrible pain in the neck.
[Nextbit Robin] Gandalf:
If you dial *#*#4636#*#" and go to Device Information, you can disable VoLTE from there :good:
[Nextbit Robin] Rimmer1966:
Oreo. Everything seemed fine but then I don't use the camera much so there may have been issues I missed.
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
switching network to 3G works

Well I take my words back. Setting the preferred network to 3G and restating the phone solves incoming calls voice problem. 3G speeds are good enough for me toll we get the LTE sorted.
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
A little status update for you guys:

I'm testing a lot of things (OC, UC, voltage stuff, hotplugging, VoLTE...) right now. This means that the next stable PE release may be slightly delayed. But if all goes well, I still have two new builds for you tonight. I am compiling DotOS as desired and a PE testbuild with OmniRom device tree + WiFi fixes + SELinux enforcing + PopRemix kernel for all VoLTE users. Wish me luck that both compilations will be successfully completed and also work fine.
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
Thanks mate. Wish you all the best. And thank you for all the hard work.

[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Yes, gapps aren't included in dotOS.
[Nextbit Robin] rahul200023:
alright backed up all my data rebooting to recovery to flash

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

ok so i flashed dot os and the phone got to the setup screen but was bombarded by app crashes. my phone also got reallllly hot so im going to turn it off and boot it up again when its cool

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

ok so I put in my account info, tested wifi, blutooth, and the camera which all seem to work. When the phone is cool performance is very snappy, but when temps get hot things start to fall apart quickly. It's a pretty solid build otherwise, and the features in dotos are infinite (and really refreshing android p ui)!

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

This rom is actually awesome, now that my phone is not having its issues anymore. This build is one of the most snappiest builds of oreo that i have every used
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Thank you for your feedback. I have seen that the guys from dotOS have changed a lot at frameworks/base the last two days. Maybe I just built at a bad time or they're working on something. Maybe I can build another one next week.
[Nextbit Robin] rahul200023:
You and the guys at dot os certainly did something right. No joke when i say this is low key the best oreo rom you can use for ether right now, veryyyyy fluid. I think the quirks intially were just problems with my phone.
[Nextbit Robin] MrMacman2u:
Not having any major issues here on AT&T, camera works great, no issues on calling or data, smooth and buttery UI, fixed the troublesome bluetooth (including the ridiculous battery usage reporting), as well as added some nice software features like the long press for flashlight, and most importantly; battery life improved over the OG factory 7.1.1 rom. Nice to see two days of light use back on this phone!

Now for the problems, nothing showstopping, just minor irks. Pokemon Go has thrown a tizzy fit about compatibility but that's not really the ROM's fault, I get the occasional "stall" when I press the power button to wake up and the display will remain black for 1-3 seconds on infrequent random intervals (might get 2 a day on a bad day but I don't interact with my phone a whole lot.) Nothing else really springs to mind to be honest.

(Edit: no idea why that old post ended up slapping itself up instead of this, so just modifying that one)
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
Which ROM we are talking about here, pixel experience or dot os. If pixel experience would you care to elaborate on LTE status on AT&T
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
Dot-OS will be discussed on it's own thread in the android development section shortly as I am compiling from source to re-produce the build provided here. All open los device tree commits will be merged later on this week and updates will be provided when necessary.

Big thanks to [MENTION=5974762]NurKeinNeid[/MENTION] for letting me to do so as it was his project to begin with!
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Update Time! :fingers-crossed:

Sorry for the long delay. I have reverted SELinux enforcing because I had strange behavior with it. It takes me a while to realize that's why. This update should be offered via OTA. Nevertheless, here is the link for everyone.

PixelExperience_ether-8.1.0-20180708-0044-OFFICIAL

Changes:

-July Security Patch merged

-Updated translations

-Revert of SELinux changes

-PopRemix-r2:

- wake on plug fix

- Enable all tcp congestion controllers

- Async I/O latency to a ssd greatly increased, 34% gain (Creds: kleikamp)

- aio: Skip timer for io_getevents if timeout=0

- mdss: fb: enable backlight dimmer

- ether: don't hotplug the perf cluster on BCL event, it destroys performance and don't throttle so hard

- Decrease time to enter sleep

- slimbus : slimbus OC fix

Enjoy it!
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Update

I just noticed that the Google Camera is not working again. It's really freaking me out. Any other camera app should work. I can recommend Footej camera until I have solved the problem.
[Nextbit Robin] rana_tigrina2002:
I don't see OTA update option

Hi thanks for the update. Just one question, you said: this update should be delivered via OTA. But I don't see an update option in settings. Did you mean once we update to this build subsequently all the updates will be via OTA. Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Edit: I see OTA update after flashing to this version thanks. And yes no camera
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
What build are you on? OTA updates were only implemented in the last build. I installed the last build myself to test this and right after the setup I got a notification for a new update. Everything worked fine for me except the Google camera.

Edit: Just saw your edit lol
[Nextbit Robin] Rimmer1966:
Don't ask me to explain it but this Google Camera App appears to work fine if anyone wants it.

Google Camera HDR+

thanks for the update all working well so far..
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
I've given up understanding. It took me so long. I know that almost every other camera app works. Maybe it is this special opengapps inbuilt variant that causes problems. I will integrate your suggested camera in the next build. Thank you for the info.
[Nextbit Robin] drydiddy:
Hello, been trying to get this to work but when I try to flash it says

Changes:

-updated translations

-included GoogleCameraMod instead of Snap

-disabled deep buffer

[Nextbit Robin] JayAbbhi:
There seems to be some serious lag with animations, whether it is scrolling or just navigating the ui. Opening the camera takes a very long time, especially when using the double-press of the power button to launch it. Is there anything i can do on my end to eliminate this sluggishness, or is this something that has to be fixed in future updates, with just optimizing the rom?
[Nextbit Robin] NurKeinNeid:
Have you tried setting the animation speed to 0.5? Most other ROMs have 0.5 as default. For PE it is 1.0 like Stock Android.
