INFO:

OP5t A5010_43_180613

OxygenOS: 5.1.3

Android: 8.1.0

Root: Magisk v16.0

OEM: Unlocked

Bootloader: Unlocked

Recovery: TWRP

No custom ROM

DETAILS:

I’ve done some cursory searching here on XDA and across the wider interwebs and I’m hoping someone reading this can provide some insight, or, at the very least, help me to better understand an issue I’m experiencing.

I have a rooted OP5t running OxygenOS - no special ROMs (as mentioned at the top of this post).

At some point after initially rooting my device (purchased Jan 2018), I was able to disable Chrome, Youtube, Community (OnePlus), Duo, Play Movies & TV, Play Music and a host of other pre-packaged apps I never use. Since then, I have been able to use my OP5t with no issues. I simply use the apps I use, get updates from Play and carry-on with life. In general, if an app I do not use has the option to disable it [via Settings > Apps > Application List > $AppInfo], I have disabled it; otherwise, I have used Titanium Backup’s “Freeze” option.

That is, until last night. (Sidenote: Someday I’ll learn to leave well enough alone!)

Last night I decided that I wanted to be finally rid of the apps I don’t use. So, for starters, I uninstalled Chrome and Youtube via Titanium Backup and stopped there. All went well until I attempted to open GMail. Gmail FC’d. I tried another app, it FC’d too. WTH?

So, this morning I decided, “Okay, let’s restore these from Titanium and see which of these is potentially causing the other apps to FC.” The process for restoring Chrome took ages (my god it’s an unwieldingly huge app!) but I finally got them both it and YouTube restored, along with their respective data. Whew! Cool. I tested the other apps and got no FC! \0/ <(YAY!) Cool. So, I set about disabling YouTube. With YouTube successfully disabled, I tested my other apps and nothing is FCing. Great!

I then set my sights on Chrome: No dice. When I disable Chrome, other apps FC. (Damn) Fine. I’ll enable it and restrict its data use and block its access via firewall. Cool. That works. So, I end up slightly close to where I started last night, except I can’t disable Chrome again.

Is Chrome that interwoven into AOSP that I can no longer disable it?

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this issue and has success in disabling the prepackaged Chrome on OP5t.

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] vk_singh:
Because it is enabled as webview.check in developer option.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] chillingspree:
Thanks for that lead. Here's what I'm seeing, but first, current status:

I have Chrome disabled (and Force Stopped). I attempt to open GMail and it FCs.

In looking at Settings > Developer Options > Webview implementation, I now see Android System Webview 65.0.3325.109 as selected (checked) and the entry for Chrome 67.0.3396.87 is greyed out.

If I enable Chrome, Gmail doesn't FC and (in Webview) Chrome 67.... is selected (checked) while Android System Webview is greyed out.

In either scenario, the greyed out option also notes "(disabled for $user)" - which makes some sense. Kinda. [shrug?]

I'm guessing (although, admittedly without good reason) that the two Webview implementations are not compatible.

Any idea where to go from here? (I'll be searching for Webview implementations in another window).

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] haikalizz:
Is your Android System WebView updated? Mine shows v68.0.3440.40

Chrome implementation is not good in oos,I wrote about it many times but it never got fixed. Fix for me was to use hydrogen os based Roms ?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Princeland:
Maybe the best option for you is a AOSP ROM... I use Dirty Unicorns, very smooth and fast and clean of Google apps...

Much better than OOS
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] siddharthnair96:
I'm not certain about it but I think since Oreo onwards webview was changed from Android Webview to Chrome Webview hence if you manage to crash Chrome, then all apps that utilize the Chrome Webview will crash respectively, I can personally vouch for this cause I remember I had accidently tried updating Chrome with an ARM version of the app and all my apps using Chrome Webview crashed and when I finally realized and updated it with ARM64 it worked flawlessly.

What I derived from this is if you managed to break Chrome Webview it crashes a whole lot of Google Apps. I don't know if there is a work around for this you look around for Micro G Apps which could theoretically replace the Chrome Webview; however, you're on OOS I'm not sure if that combination would work.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
Since HMD won't give us Google's ARcore, has anybody found any working ARcore mods?

(of course for non rooted)
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Marius.Petran:
I dont think the Nokia 6 17 have ARcore hardware
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] TheMadxtremist:
Try this.

First install the arcore.apk and then directly install v1.1 over it. It's not a proper working mod of it for our phone, so things like Google's "just a line" app won't work. But this did make AR stickers functional in my Google camera mod. There's a separate APK for AR stickers though.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
What does it requires though?

I've got a leaked ARcore update in Nokia 6.1 and saw that there's nothing special and there were just some special permissions in the root folders
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
Will the original unmodified ARSticker work from apkmirror?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] TheMadxtremist:
Yes it should, If you've installed it before. Tho I suggest a reboot after you're done installing both apks.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
Didn't work,

(by the haven't rebooted)
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] TheMadxtremist:
Try to clear the data and cache from settings, for arstickers and google camera and then reboot. I should warn you tho, since it's only a modded port, AR Stickers will only work sometimes. Atleast in my case it is like that. I'm attaching a small video I made while testing.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
Thanks a lot.

It's working. But the phone is heating up
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] Ans Osama:
Help!

Can you upload for me the google camera apk that support ar core for nokia 6 ?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] TheMadxtremist:
I think it should work on all recent versions of it but here's the one that I personally use. Though for AR Stickers, there's a separate apk. You need to install the AR stickers apk before you can see the option in your camera. Install AR Core first, in the way I mentioned above. Then install AR Stickers apk from the link. Then you'll be able to see the option in your google camera. But its better to reboot after installing, before you use it.

Google camera link :

AR stickers link :

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552

grab the google camera from here and use the suggested settings.

by the way, there's an ARcore link in that thread keep in mind that, that one doesn't work on our phones
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therealatliss:
So I have managed to get a touchpad for free! On top of that it had been sealed in-box since 2011. And now i'm having a problem. The touchpad won't charge and won't boot. I have read about the battery being dead if it hits total zero but wouldn't a "brand new" device be fine?

Thanks in advance.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
Nope. A dead battery is a dead battery, especially if it hasn't been charged for 7 years.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] middle_road:
Fresh out of the box... Nice....

Do you have a Touchstone wireless charger with it?

I've revived a couple of mine just by letting it sit on it for a couple of days.

If that fails then you need to score a replacement battery. At least they are more available and cheaper than they were a few years ago.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] danymally:
Hello Guys,

I'm having serious problems with my XZP

I bought it on september 2017, for 5 months worked like a charm.

After february 2018 he started to get mad without any reason, i wasn't able to make any call even pressing several time the call button in recent call list, after 40 sec the phone start to call also if was locked in my pocket.

Got slow for no reason during the normal use (switching tabs on chrome, opening apps ecc), and getting hot for no reason.

Checked the background apps and not found one that was using too much battery (I use same apps, i don't download suspicious app from play store/internet).

I performed a system restore by phone settings, all good, but after almost one month i've got the same problems.

I decide to return it back to amazon and take a brand new one.

New one arrived, after 1 month i've got similar problems, but, when I was trying to make a phone call, the phone made no tone, even if someone answered there was no sound on both phones, sometimes also after many attemps or reboots, i had the same problem, when my friend called me back, there was no issues.

During a phone call, if a tone was played (like the one at the supermarket for announcments) the microphone got mute without any reason and without notify on the dispaly, so i had to call back.

During a video, the screen freezed, i thougt that could be normal, but the video was saved with that problem(it's ridiculous that a "super camera phone" freezes for a 30 sec video).

The phone doesn't ring anymore, no notification sound, no system sound until you reboot it.

Now, I repaired the software with xperia companion (uploaded on the phone, clean), and after 20 days, i've just got similar issue: During a phone call, no tone and no voice at the answer.

Problem with audio, during listening to music or watching a video, if i receive a notification, the volume remains low and i have to pause/play to get the audio back.

With whatsapp, when i listen to vocal messages i get the same problem, also if i open the keyboard

I really don't know what i have to do, i cannot reset every month the phone because is buggy.

I wroted also to xperia support, but they suggested me to repair the software... again?

P.S. I use Huawei 2 Smartwatch, could be the source of my problems?

All the calls are intended as normal calls and not Voip

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] madshark2009:
its your watch.

I cant determinely speak, but a normal XZP shouldnt act like that, also its been replaced once or twice in your case so it cant be the unit it self its some thing else, try to repair and not use the watch with it and see how it goes.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] danymally:
Hi Mate,

I disconnected the watch while facing the low playback audio, immediately the audio get louder as it should.

The problem is the watch, now i will see if there are other case, if my watch is defective and replace it, or give away.

thanks!

after more than one month using Huawei watch 2 as standalone i didn't faced any problem descrived above...

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] elderwolf123:
As far as i know rooting will void your warranty no matter what, in older Android versions there were ways to root without tripping it but Samsung have upped their game and it will void your warranty
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] GreGaming:
Thanks for the anwser, and one more thing.. What is in the warranty? I mean what they will repair? They are looking only the software side of the phone? Or if my camera will broke then they will replace it?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] elderwolf123:
if its a hardware issue like if the board just randomly dies, memory corrupts, battery expands etc. its not common but its there more to cover their ass. if you were to drop your phone in water or crack the screen it isnt covered. They look at the software to see if you have violated the EULA and if you have they legally dont have to do anything

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] TrueMS:
I am user who watches YouTube most of the time and I looked into BBS and CPU is running about 600 MHz at all 8 cores all the time when I watch videos. I guess thats a lot and it drains my battery. Is it somehow possible to set the lowest clock about 300 MHz when I am watching YouTube? Or just shutdown 4 cores at least? I guess I will need root for that. Thanks :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] TrueMS:
As you can see, I was watching YT for about 4 hours and most of the time was CPU running at 653 MHz, not lower.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] berezker:
600 mhz is the lowest you can get with stock kernel

I believe some kernels (Extreme kernel / Project K) allow you to set it to 300 mhz
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] TrueMS:
Great! But is it still possible somehow in stock kernel? With magisk and some kernel apps like kernel adiutor?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] JakobSWE:
You need an custom kernel. However, the 300mhz is slightly too low. Making music laggy and distorted when turning off the display.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] berezker:
Nope. You need a custom kernel
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
Most of the devs are already getting rid of OC/UC on their kernels, F.Y.I
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] alkesh95:
Instead of lowering your clock speed try disabling four cores and reduce the max frequency. Set governor to conservative. If you want more power saving use powersave. Warning: performance will degrade heavily.

Edit: skipped over your mention of disabling four cores. Still it's a valid choice. I do it in extreme case.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] N1ck474:
It's not needed for our Mi A1 i think...

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
Currently using XZ2.

Looking at XZ2 Premium's features and the price tag, I can't decide alone to buy it or not.

The question is,

Is the price worthy of it?

(just kidding about the kidney)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] dinohunter117:
Just wait a couple months, It will come down in price by November to like $700 then it's worth it.

Also, it's worth the pre-order from amazon if you are looking for some bluetooth headphones. They are including Sony's super bluetooth earbuds with the pre-order.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] kurtbird:
For this price, it better have T-Mobile's band 71. Does anyone know if it does or not?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
I'm planning to pre-order it (for the Bluetooth headset)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] jal3223:
I really wish they would include a list of the bands supported. I think I would go ahead and purchase if I was certain that Verizon's LTE bands are supported. I guess that is the deciding factor for me at this point.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
It should support Verizon. But do some research about it
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] cornel.atomei:
The premium will bring a higher res display and better cameras to the table. The display is more than fine on the xz2, the question is, are you willing to spend that much money for camera alone? Are you not satisfied with Xz2's camera?

I'm satisfied but I'm addicted to Xperia phones.

Maybe I'll buy it next year...

I would definitely preorder if Verizon would give a statement on whether or not they are going to certify the device like the Compact or not. The Sony XZ2 Compact has the exact same bands it seems as the XZ2, but the XZ2 does not work because it is not “certified “. I’m hoping this one will be as it appears to have the same bands as the Compact. Does anyone have any inside information?

Jal3223 Verizon is CDMA not GSM. I do not think Sony has ever released a CDMA phone
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] jal3223:
This is incorrect. Sony just released the XZ2 Compact that is certified on Verizon through Volte. Many of the newer releases for Verizon are missing CDMA because they are phasing it out and moving to Volte. As long as the compatible LTE bands are present and Volte is available it will work.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
It's compatible with GSM networks.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:
Unfortunately Verizon is CDMA
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] BladeRunnerA2C:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] gcd23:
Hopefully Sony gets the XZ2 Premium certified with Verizon like they have with the XZ2 Compact and XA2. It's definitely very promising that they've certified two units this year after so long.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] kurtbird:
Supporting T-Mobile and having T-Mobile's newer band 71 are two different things.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] jal3223:
It's so dumb to me that the only phones from Sony that are getting certified are the small screen varients. Especially when larger screens are more popular right now.
