EDIT:

I managed to make root works with MAGISK. Seems to be working.

Now... Is there any option to configure the hardware buttons?? I can't find the option to configure menu button, home button...

1. I can't see recents for closing apps and passing from one to another app

2. Home button doesn't activate the device when screen is off

I use a sim card I guess I can help you but not so frequently since I'm still schooling. I'm using RR 8.1 Unofficial ryt now and SIM has certain problems like I've to toggle WCDMA only most of the time for data to work. If that's helpful. Thank You

Hello Dear Dark Joker and anyone else who might be able to help,

I'm new to this world of customisation/rooting etc. I have a few questions. If i have a new s4 mini, GT-i9190 (or ...95) and i want to make sure it is secure, even against the likes of Google, is this a good path to go down?

Let's say i basically want the functionality of an official andriod release but without the ability for Google to update my phone. Ie. I would update my phone manually based on an update file that can be vetted or is open-source?

Sorry for the noob-like question. I simply have been unable to fully understand what i might be getting.

The opening post links to a site that requires a person to download an app to receive the 300+ mb file. As someone who is concerned about security how can i be sure that what i download using that app is the file that you intended to provide? Could a hash be provided in the opening post? Or am i missing something?

Any info that anyone can provide on the questions above would be highly appreciated.

[P8lite General] XTutorials:
Since I do not own a P8 Lite anymore, but I am still developing for it, I'm going to need someone to test my ROMs/updates before I release them publicly.

Requirements:

-someone which I can trust

-someone willing to have the risk of losing data, or bricking their device

-someone willing to change ROMs on the device regularly(not recommended to do this on your daily driver)

-someone with free time

Personal preferences:

-I'd prefer talking on Telegram/Discord or other messaging app rather than on XDA's PMs

-someone who can take logcats(if needed)

Leave a reply here and I'll send you a PM when I'm ready! If I need I'm going to have 2 testers.

And to not waste another thread here are my future project(some which are already in progress) based on priority:

-dotOS 7.1.2 update

-dotOS Oreo

-AOKP Oreo

Thanks for understanding!

Regards,

I could be a tester, I don't own a P8 Lite but since the devices have the same processor could work

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamiAbbas:
Hello,

I have this Note 5 for 4 months, 3 days ago it started to have this purple bubbles and it keeps getting bigger.

I visited the Samsung customer services and they said it was due to a break in the LCD screen because I broke it, I am 100% sure that the mobile didn't fall or had any accidents or even was in my pocket by chance and had a hit.

Could this possibly be a manufacturing defect? or it is really a break due some hit or a fall?

** I am prevented from posting link and can't post image for the screen **
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elt0n01:
After 1 year, my Note 5 continues everything ok, Screen, LCD, spen sensor, battery, etc... Sometimes, my Note 5 drop in the floor, and continues ok. I think this problem is not for some accident.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alperen4:
It had occured to me once, and they changed the screen for free. I think the causes for this are humidity and hot weather.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ias94:
This problem is very common on the Note 5. If you search on Google or YouTube you will find many users with same complaint. Even my Note5 had the same problem. It started as a small dot and then the entire screen was covered with the purple hue. I had to get it replaced by paying approx 120$ . Some reports say it is because of the glass design. Heat generated byCPU while performing intensive tasks causes precipitation of water inside, and over time it leads to LCD damage.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] m0d hipp¥:
I'm hoping someone can assist me. I can't seem to find much information regarding the "video2" kernel wakelock.

I just charged my phone to 100% over night. I have only used it for about 19 minutes and the battery is at 75%.

I am rooted, on the latest OOS - stock; running xposed and magisk (latest versions)

I have forcedoze and leandroid running and I also use wakeblock to limit some wakelocks.

I use an app called WLD (Wakelock Detector) - to show me what wakelocks are being used and I see one in particular that is "video2". What could this be?

video2 shows 3h 28m x1244 in WLD

PowerManagerService.WakeLocks shows 6m 20s x407

All the other kernel wakelocks are under 1m

leandroid should be turning off my network settings when the screen is off, and only turning it on hourly for 60 seconds to get the occassional notifications if there are any and then turn off again.

I am normally connected to WiFi and my location services (GPS) is turned on as well, but as I mentioned, when it's not in use leandroid should be powering them off.

I'm trying to figure out what is using up over 25% of my battery only after 19 mins of use. When I go into settings to look at the battery I see the following:

Screen Usage since full charge - 19m

Android system - 4%

Phone Idle - 2%

Android OS - 2%

Cell standby - 1%

Screen 1%

Thanks for the response, I exported all the logs from BBS. I ended up charging my phone to 100% again and then just left it doze for a bit and once again it eats through the battery idle.

I have left my phone idle since yesterday. SOT is only 3 mins and I'm down to 61%. I would really appreciate any help I can get.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] m0d hipp¥:
Well, I assume for those who had a look over this thread, you were as baffled by this issue as I initially was.

After a lot of trial and error, I believe I resolved my issue. To help others (in case other users run into a similar issue as I), I will write up a detailed summary of what I did to fix the issue and the apps I used. For now a quick summary.

I would like to bring up an interesting fact, and I'm not sure if my scenario is just an anomaly, but it turned out that the reason I was having this issue is because of having "doze mode" enabled in the developer menu. Apparently this setting conflicted with the battery saving apps I run such as forcedoze and leandroid.

If you use custom apps to save battery, make sure you disable force doze on your OP3T. I did a few other changes on my phone, but after disabling this option, I saw an immediate difference in my phone battery when it was idle and screen off. I only lost 1% battery in about 5 hours, whereas before it seemed less than 1 hour.

Default HTC Weather

Hi,

I was using the .99 version and the same has happened in this version. I have been trying to work out and how to have the weather screen working. I Use HTC Weather, the default weather program. I followed the instructions of putting the small.png in the windows folder. It still does not read the icons!

How am I able to rectify this. I have searched everywhere, and been working on this for a 5 days now!

Has anyone any suggestions. I cannot believe I am the first person on original ROM, and default weather......

Kind Regards,

Will
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] HardRoc:
All you have to do is copy all the small icons in your HTC Home directory to the Windows directory. Then run the iLock command twice. Make sure to set HTC Weather as the weather program using the S2U2 settings program in the S2U2 program folder.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] William Richardson:
I can't work out why it is not working............I have been doing all of that! Do they have to be directly in the windows directory; ie. windows/HH_WEATHER_31small

After a short while I noticed those apps didn't send me pop up notifications amd the edge lighting didn't turn on. I went into the settings and saw that there were only 6 apps selected instead of the 15 I set myself. I've re selected them and the ishue poped up again. It has been going kn for a few months now and no matter what i do after a short time the apps get unselected on their own. I camt find a solution online so I'm asking you guys if you know what to do about it. Thank you for the help. :victory:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tech_Savvy:
read this 3 times from start to finish before you start asking questions....itll help with most of your questions...also...

When your unlocking your bootloader using the "fastboot flashing unlock" command....after the system has booted.... boot back into fastboot and also run the "fastboot flashing unlock_critical” this makes this device nearly unbrickable.... please do it you won't regret it.

Next twrp is in boot.img with a/b devices..so if you flash twrp and want to root you have to reflash the stock boot.img of your rom before you flash magisk....if you don't you'll have a bootloop that gets you nowheres

Thank you for this.

Switched over from a Nexus 6P (that is still working great, to be honest). can't wait to start flashing
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] csrow:
Thanks for the link to the document. Didn't realize there are two partitions.

I'm sure this question has been answered before but I'll ask here again for the newbies.

If I root the device with Magisk but stay with the stock ROM, does the OTA updates work? If the updates do work, do I have to root each time after the update?

TIA.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
They don't work if rooted, however I, and many others, have issues with the OTAs in general anyhow.

It's super quick to just fastboot flash the firmware files yourself anyhow (modify a boot.img beforehand with magisk), and then flash the modified boot.img at the end.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] galakanokis:
Quick question for a Prime Deal newbie. Do you have to unlock the bootloader if you are just side loading the OTA file? I know you have to in order to fastboot any images but I thought the ota file would be fine. No biggie if not just curious.

After another search it looks like you do not have unlock the bootloader just to flash the ota.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] scottspa74:
This seems a welcome thread. I haven't tweaked Android for about 2½ years. From 2010 on I always had custom recovery and root and ROMs, but my last device (htc10) I didn't root, life got too busy.

Just got essential from Amazon, and trying to figure out what this AB slot stuff is is confusing the hell out of me. Also, this phone seems laggier than any device I've had, and I also just noticed a lot if the text is outlined with black, like on the LG get. Gotta get rid of that.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for those comments.

If anyone could give an explanation to what the AB slot is, to someone who is already pretty familiar with using custom recoveries, and understanding the partions (to a degree), I'd super appreciate it.

Again, I've been away from xda and customizing Android for about 3 years.

Anyone else feeling like this device isn't quite what they hoped? I always saw it at sprint stores and couldn't put it down. Now it's in my hand, doesn't seem so great. Think my htc10 is better, but maybe I'm missing how to make it great.

I hope this is in the right place.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] antmunny:
you can't beat it for $250, but I think I'm getting the OnePlus 6T or OnePlus 7 when it comes out.

installing TWRP and customs roms is such a chore on this device. I had AOSiP installed...but for some reason which I couldn't explain, it didn't feel like AOSiP on my Nexus 6P or OnePlus5 (that I just gave to my mom). Substratum worked...Magisk worked. But something didn't feel right. If I'm going to have to be on a stock ROM, I'd rather be on OxygenOS with its additional customizations.

only one of my 9 USB-C to USB-A cables seem to work for file transfer AND fastboot AND charging. It also happens to be the shortest cable I have.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] scottspa74:
See this weirdness where text is surrounded by black outline? That happened on LG g stock rom. It was fixed. Is a custom rom only way to fix this on ph1. ? Much thanks.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] phidung3721:
I think your phone high contrast text mode is on. Uncheck that under accessibility
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] droidstyle:
I am with ya on that...I started with Samsung devices, So using Odin for flashing was my cup of Tea. The Nexus6 was my first device using Fastboot, but I ended up using Wug's toolkit most of the time.

From what I gather the A/B slot partitions are the same thing. You basically have a kernel and ramdisk on both partitions. The ramdisk is now your recovery. You just have to make sure when you flash anything, it's to the active partition. The point of A/B slots is so Android can install upgrades seamlessly while still running by installing them to the inactive partition. Click the link in the OP, it explains things pretty well.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] galakanokis:
I have been pretty happy with the PH-1 so far. I really like the form factor and the notch hasn't bothered my at all. Coming from Note 3/4 and the 6P which was super easy to flash by the extra steps on the Essential don't seem to bad. Sucks that you need a computer most times to flash but not the end of the world.

I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet but I did bump to the P preview for a day or two and then back to stock with EX and Magisk. No issues there but I'm comfortable with ADB and fastboot. No issues with various cables as well whatever I used on my 6P seem fine for this phone as far as charging, adb and file transfers go.

Overall pretty happy.

All of you complaining of lag..have you completed all the updates?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] droidstyle:
I just finished seting my PH-1 up...it took a bit getting through all the updates first. I struggled at first trying to root because I didn't realize you have to type the directory path along with the file name in Fastboot to flash. Anyway I am now unlocked, rooted with Magisk, AdAway blocked, Viper4android audio, and debloated with Titanium backup. This device is running smooth!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ceelos218:

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] droidstyle:

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
Question...

Why debloat with titanium backup... You will fail checks for OTA updates... Magisk does this... Ditto for adaway...

And with restoring the stock boot.img... Will take the OTA but, at least for me, require TWRP to reroot...

Because I have used it for 7years and it's what I am use too. I have auto updates turned off. If I want to update, lll restore frozen apps, flash stock boot.img, and OTA. It's not that deep. :good:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
I jumped on that Amazon deal and should be getting my device today. I'm reading through all the threads today but thought I'd ask, should I unlock bootloader and root before patching all updates, or let the device patch itself and then unlock/root? I'm mostly familiar with Nexus and Oneplus devices. PS OP thanks for the post and the link, already saved to my favorites.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Take all of your updates first. dont bother setting it up, once you unlock bootloader and unlock critical, its going to wipe the phone anyways, once you are there, set it up the way you want.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
Thanks! Just wanted to make sure. I have my son's birthday party today so I'll be disappearing for periods at a time to do root and bootloader unlock.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kornklown69:
I ordered pretty late on prime day when they were sold out but still taking orders... my delivery window is aug 1st-8th... I just want it to ship!!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] X_g_v:
Thank for the heads up!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] contesauce:
So mine came in on the 24th. I immediately let it take the many updates. I didn't set anything up knowing I'd wipe it anyway but played with it for a while. Got it wiped later that evening, did the unlock, then did the reboot, but when I plugged in the unlock_critical it came back with the failed: remote failure already unlocked or something similar to that. I rebooted the phone again into bootloader and tried the command again and got the same response.

Afterwards I was able to do TWRP, magisk, and adaway easily. I ran Oreo for about a day and loaded the P beta 3 when it dropped yesterday morning. So far I'm loving it with the exception of not being able to find the notch settings that I saw in the Oreo version under dev settings. I'm searching through XDA to see if I missed something, but is it gone in P?

EDIT(Yep, just found that the Essential notch settings haven't been available in P) I know there is a terminal workaround for full screen, but wanted that granular per app control.

Also just for clarification, is the process for stock rooting always going to be: fastboot flash TWRP as boot.img, then in TWRP flash actual boot.img plus root of choice? Or is there a better method I'm not seeing? Thanks guys
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
That's the best, cleanest method imo.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Joylesstuna:
Can you share the terminal work around.
