I can make that a magisk mod.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Awesome, thats a great idea
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hx3:
Is this basically the same thing as screen smoothness on Oreo-based custom ROM's (under settings>system) or would it further help with scrolling on Oreo? I haven't tried out P yet.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Dont know depends on if the feature is included inside the oreo source, i think it is just for the shakiness of scrolling in P and the google devs added this to correct it for the one plus 6 latest P preview.. make a backup and try.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I dunno if placebo but it does seem less janky to me. Thanks op!!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Welcome.Did u try the signal cheat too? I think they both work great. Im testing some other stuff i found in that preview too. It will give a good show of whats coming in our next update..
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I did! I'll let you know about that one throughout the day.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Joylesstuna:
Is this to help the screen jittering or the sporadic lag spikes I'm getting on p?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:

updated to new magisk template, enjoy
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Don't recommend that signal mod, it really wrecked my signal and gave me a qcom_rx wakelock. Could be my area or carrier though
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Never had lag on p myself but yes the screen jittering
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Awesome thanks man...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Hmm would make sense that it is only helpful in areas where signal is weak. Where it is strong it could mess it up
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Here's what the new messages app looks like in full material 2.. as much as i could get working my substratum screwed up the lines in between each contact. I think..Yes, this has nothing to do with anything but it has potential.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00177:
Oh shoot
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
does this have the signal fix?

One without would be awesome too, but either way thanks for this

Are you on P? What Magisk?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
U guys see the new update...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
new beta 3, 16.7 magisk
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I noticed now what the signal cheat does. I have t mobile and ify signal is weak in one area, it will piggy back onto the strongest nearby signal no matter who the carrier is. One part of my house has weak signal and i happed to look down and see i had full bars whereas i never have any there, and went to see the carrier network info/apn and it said boost. Same on my pulldown quick settings. Boost. Never had boost in my life. Then again yesterday my fiance and i went shopping and i noticed i was on att for a min. So i guess its a good thing.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
With this module, should the additions show on the build.prop? They don't

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Here are the lines to copy as well for anyone who wants them. Much easier than trying to copy from a picture

#enable signal cheating

persist.sys.oem_smooth=1

#Property to enable touch optimizations

persist.vendor.qti.inputopts.enable=true

persist.vendor.qti.inputopts.movetouchslop=0.6
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Open a terminal

SU

getprop | grep slop

If it return that last line above and 0.6, it's there

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] KevinN206:
Is this with the slow scrolling? I am running Oreo 8.1 and it's so jerky when I scroll slowly with touch sensitivity of 5. Does it get more jerky or unresponsive if you change the sensitivity to 10?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I'm pretty sure 0 disables it entirely. It's a buffer if I'm not mistaken.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jdogg4000:
I will double check and also get someone to confirm the test just to make sure it wasn't another setting that was changed. Regardless what I have now is very smooth scrolling and before it was very jerky and unresponsive.

EDIT: Edited post because the original contained incorrect information.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Running mine as 0.5
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jdogg4000:
You are right because I removed the lines of code and it is the exact same. Now I am :confused: with what I did that made it smoother.

Sorry for the confusion. I'll do more testing.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Is the magisk mod working?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Didn't try yet, i just manually edit it. I will next install
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
Is there a magisk mod for this? Or where in the build prop do I post?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'm not sure what you are asking.every bit of information u need is already in the thread. Look around a bit.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
I figured it out. Wasn't sure where to put the lines in the build.prop. I just put them at the very bottom. Is that fine?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes that works
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
Set to 0.5 and seems to be working great. Thanks!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
Guys I have a question. I just got the phone and I really like it except the touch sensitivity issues and sporadic weird behavior that drive me a bit crazy. Is that an issue with early Pie build ? Was Oreo ok with scrolling and touch response? I assume I have to wait for the essential team to fix it because I'm not planning to root the phone as I haven't decided whether I keep it or not yet. I'm coming from U11 so the touch responsiveness and overall a smoothness is really on a very high level so you can call me spoiled ;)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
I did some testing and reading about this issue. It seems it's partially related to hardware (digitizer), can be remedied with a root and custom kernel but I noticed one odd thing. When I scroll web pages and interact with interface with a tip of my finger you can see the stutters, jitters while scrolling etc. But when I use large portion of my finger to touch the screen and scroll the jitters disappear! It's like you need large area touching the screen for it to function correctly. I wonder if it's something that can be fixed from software side of things or we are just stuck with ****ty digitizer?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] waj1234:
I find it just as bad with tip of finger. I am not rooted with this phone as I prefer to leave it stock.

The scrolling is only thing I dislike on this phone. Even my RN4 was smoother than this. It really hurts my eyes at time. Only good thing is it was very cheap.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] autosurgeon:
If it can be remedied with a custom kernal then it's a software issue.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
I had this issue. Im rooted tho so I did a build.prop edit and changed kernel to set gpu gov to performance. The jitter is gone now. Hopefully they fix in an update. It was really annoying.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
Yeah I hope so. I really really like this phone but the scrolling thing is really annoying for me. Coming from U11 is very noticeable. I finally wanted to have a small phone again that does most of the stuff very good but again there always have to be something :rolleyes:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
Yeah I love the build quality! It's def better quality than my pixel 2xl. I bought this while I wait for my pixel 2 xl to get RMAd. The scrolling on my 2xl is def better. I could tell right away. My Bluetooth on essential also sucks. Won't connect a pair of headphones that would work in pixel. Those are my only complaints. Like I said my scrolling is fixed through root and kernel, but I shouldnt have to do that

Edit: install the ported pixel camera. You don't need root and makes this camera WAAAAY better.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
Yeah I already have done that. ;) Well for me Bluetooth is actually better than on HTC U11. I does things with older devices that HTC couldn't because of their BT5 implementation. Battery is also superb. 9h sot with 10% left on the first charge! Awesome!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
Yeah this phone is honestly perfect besides the scrolling. These specs should have zero stutter, especially in 2018! Come on essential fix it haha!!! Can try messing with touch sensitivity in Dev options also. If they can fix it without root, I may just sell my pixel 2
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] waj1234:
On top of scrolling issue I only get 6.5 to 7hrs max sot no matter what I do.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] izzyfanto:
Which kernel and what settings did you adjust to fix it?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
I am on elemental x. Change gpu gov to performance. That and build.prop tweak worked well
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] izzyfanto:
Gotcha thanks. I tried the build.prop all the way up to .10 but doesn't seem to make that much of a difference. I'll try the kernel. That'll mean worse battery life though I'd assume?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
Maybe a bit. I still go all day no problem. Always data, no wif. Got like 5hr screen on time yesterday at 40% left. You can try cpufreq gov also instead if performance
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] izzyfanto:
Thanks for the tips!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ~~Tito~~:
Build Prop change working like a charm!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stryver:
Nevermind, just read the OP. ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
What number did you set?

Anyone know what the number should give smoothest scrolling? I've seen 0.5 and 0.6. Is lower smoother like 0.1?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ~~Tito~~:
I set mine at 0.5. Feels pretty smooth.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] billgs:
Does changing the build.prop require root?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
You realize this doesn't require you to modify the build.prop...

It's just 2 setprop commands with root...

Also... Since they are persists commands... They remain thru reboot and are adjustable?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ~~Tito~~:
By all means, use a different method to edit the build.prop. I have not encountered an issue after rebooting.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SpectraFun:
I have to press 2 or 3 times again and again so that the display reacts which is really annoying. I installed the newest Pie and did a reset.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] efxar1sto:
Leave font size and display size on default. for me it helps. ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SpectraFun:
What you mean?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] vergilbt:
Link isn't working anymore?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
I'll fix it in a little bit sir
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SirDigitalKnight:
under settings

What he means is under settings and then Display there is an option to change font size and display size... and to leave them set at default.

I have messed with these settings and on my PH-1 when I set them both to Large is does seem to make it smoother for me. Default settings still seems herky-jerky to my eyes... as always... ymmv

There you go, magisk mod is updated to new template to as well.

Note: if you want to adjust touchslop value, open common/setprop inside the zip and change the value in touchslop setting.

Enjoy
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
That mod doesn't need to be...

With magisk and SU... It is just a setprop command to have those values stick... They are persist lines... Which stay thru forever... Barring a factory reset
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Obviously, but telling people to magisk a thing is easier than going through setting via prop, amirite? Besides, anybody who wants to prop it is just gonna cannibalize the prop list anyways.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
Good point...

Silly me... Thinking people might wanna learn on XDA... amirite?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Apparently, i cannibalize everything ahahahaha...har har har...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] KurioHonoo:
I'm actually interested in this. Could you let me know what those commands are so that I could do this? Would I be using ADB or just a terminal emulator on my phone?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] akhiltj114:
My Redmi note 5 pro dead due to the liquid damage. The technician said from the service centre motherboard and battery totally should replace (both dead completely). display working properly

My doubt is if the battery and motherboard is dead how it shows the mi logo follows a battery symbol when I try to turn on (long press the power button).

If anyone has to clear my doubt..

I was waiting to buy the upcoming iPhone (Blasphemy!) but I just love how unique Find X is. It is going to be up for pre-order next week and I need some advice from you users.

- How durable is that 'mechanism'?

- Are you guys able to replace the stock launcher with something like Nova or Ruthless launcher with google now feed?

- Does the surface of the retracting mechanism get covered with dust over time?

- Have any other serious complaints about the phone in general?

Thanks in advance. Will really appreciate your input. Cheers!
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Monty Burns:
- How durable is that 'mechanism'?

Seems pretty solid but we won't know for a while!

- Are you guys able to replace the stock launcher with something like Nova or Ruthless launcher with google now feed?

Try looking in the forum, about three posts down in the "Killing apps" thread

- Does the surface of the retracting mechanism get covered with dust over time?

Not so far but, it looks pretty easy to clean the dust away

- Have any other serious complaints about the phone in general?

Power management is a B*&CH. See the same thread about "Killing Apps"

https://xdaforums.com/find-X/help/killing-apps-screen-off-arghh-t3818105
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
Thanks a lot for the response. I have used ColorOS recently (Oppo Realme 1) and the Background app management was too aggressive.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Monty Burns:
Yeah, it's on some sort of power trip (literally, in both senses of the phrase). That said, if you read through the thread i created, following a firmware upgrade yesterday and after a "settling period" things have been almost faultless today. My phone has been faultless and even thrown in a couple of reboots to challenge it and still been OK. My last problem of Gmail being forced to drop to 15 minute syncs instead of Push also seems to have resolved itself.

Now, i'm not sure if this is some sort of OS learning which apps I use, the firmware or just plain luck (or a combo) but, i'm now very happy with the device.

If you want your own launcher, it is entirely possible, as is removing the bloat (i'm running Nova) and there is no need to register with Oppo either. The link to achieve that is also in the thread I linked to.

I have no idea about battery life as when I'm at work it sits in a dock and then when i'm at home, it's also mostly in a dock so, battery life isn't really a concern but, i guess I'll find out this weekend!
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
1: The mechanism feels very durable, and 95% of the time the camera pops up fast. I have encountered 5% of time when the camera would pop up but the camera app takes an additional second or two to load.

2: nope. Unable to use nova launcher unless you into adb and do all types of advanced phone geek thing or something.

3: there's noticeable dust on my camera module but doesn't seem to be a big deal.

The big issue with this phone you should take note is, like many Chinese roms, push notifications are delayed or broken if the app has been closed or in background too long. There is a work around for this -- you have to go to settings and turn battery optimization off AND lock the app in the app overview window. This is of course, not ideal and annoying as hell. Currently I only have crucial "must get notifications on time" apps locked, such as whatsapp, wechat and Gmail. So for the most part I can use the phone fine. But I do miss all other notifications such as airbnb messages, Facebook messages, LinkedIn messages, until I open those apps again. I could lock all of them down too, but I don't want to have like seven apps running in background at all times.

This is a problem with many Chinese version of Chinese phones. I don't know why they think battery optimization so aggressive it kills notifications is a good thing.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
1) Stock Android provides for incoming notifications to be seamless (automatic by default, individual 3rd party app settings may be different by default, but, can be easily toggled on). Oppo has severe restrictions on this, limiting to 5 user installed apps to start automatically on boot & 5 apps total to be locked in recent memory.

So, a high horsepower phone is basically muzzled, if you can deal with the angst of wondering if you're going to get timely notifications...... Perhaps if you use the stock email & messaging apps, these will likely work, but, I would steer clear of those....

2) No NFC, so, no tap to pay apps will work.

3) No VoLTE, no VoWI-FI

4) No status bar notification icons, no LED notification indicator.

5) If you use T-Mobile Digits & it isn't a top 5 protected app/one of your precious 5 to auto start on boot, it will log you out of the app on reboot & it will not work until you set it up again, resulting in missed messages & phone calls.

6) 3rd party clock apps: Again, if it's not a protected top 5 app, it will not keep proper time, resulting in missed alarms..... The stock clock works, but, it is a bare bones app at best, no snooze adjustment, locked into 5 minutes, SERIOUSLY?

7) Ad Blockers will work, but, intermittently, again, the top 5 protected app thing & even then, Oppo will kill it off at some point, resulting in having to restart the blocking.

8) If you choose to use a 3rd party launcher, you again lose some functionality. I use Chrome & frequently place shortcuts on my desktop from it.

NOT ON THIS PHONE, another swing & a miss....

9) Bluetooth devices:

Generally they work fine,but,if the device has a companion app,prepare for it (the app) to not work properly.

Example(s):

I have a pair of Jabra Elite Active 65t earbuds,pair-up & work fine,but,the companion app will not work,as it requires a plug-in app to fuel it. These various "plug-in" apps are typical & the companion apps work fine elsewhere,but,not on this phone.

Reason being,the "plug-in" app does not have a user interface,so,you cannot make the app a top 5 protected app to gain functionality,it simply won't work at all.

Ditto for smartwatches such as the Samsung line-up, for the same reason,no notifications,worked one day for me & broken the next,before & after the most recent Oppo update. That results in the Samsung smartwatch getting a lobotomy,only able to keep time & nothing more.

10) Package tracking apps:

Again,the top 5 protected thing,no timely updates & even then,mine simply did not refresh automatically,had to be done manually.

I could go on, but, in a nutshell, you're forced to make sacrifices as soon as you start using the phone. If this was a entry level/low storage/low RAM device, that's one thing.

But, it's not, basically a Lamborghini running on two cylinders, that's not what I paid for & why I sold mine 5 days after the most frustrating phone experience I've ever seen....
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
That's very reassuring for me. Are you able to view the screen on time in this device? (Dunno why colorOS hides that).
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
Thanks for the response. Hope backgeound app management better with the Global ROM.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] krabman:
The international version goes on sale in India and the Philippines today. We should soon get an idea of what the phone is capable of when it isn't hobbled by the oppressive Chinese firmware.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
Really appreciate the response. That seems a lot of sacrifices which I can make except for the Smartwatch thing. Do you think the Wear OS watches will crippled the same was as the Gear ones? (Despite Wear OS being a single app with no companion apps unlike the Gear)
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
If you don't make it a "Top 5 Protected" app, count on it not syncing properly/automatically.
