I installed on my stock OG Pixel XL and I think it actually runs faster, or seems to. I turned off the swipe gesture for the home key at first to get used to the rest if the changes. I just turned it back on and I am getting used to that now. All in all I am happy.

OG PIXEL XL, here and one day in, I'm digging it. Hoping for root, Substratum, Dolby Atmos & Gravity Box
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] boostedduece:
Root is already working, just flash magisk 16.7 beta.

I'm rooted and using elemental kernel, so far so good.

The OS itself feels a lot different than N or O, especially when using the pixel launcher.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tweaked:
Roots already available.

Substratum will never happen as they changed overlays. Say good bye to it.

The others I never used.

I personally love android 9. The new gestures are cool. Its speedy, battery life is real good.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pizza_pablo:
You're right, about root. I guess I was thinking outside the Pixel realm. It's my backup phone. I could probably live without all the others, but Dolby Atmos. The rest are aesthetics, but I love me some car audio jamming.

I don't, his however love the Pixel and my Moto Z2 Play, probably won't get Pie.

I'm so hooked on Nova, IDK if I could even try Pixel Launcher.

I have a weird issue where the battery icon stays lit up when charging while off. It them doesn't turn off when the phone is unplugged?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Overall, it is fine. Pretty snappy especially considering I updated with the -w removed instead of doing a complete install. I haven't messed much with the new look and feel features since stock O was just fine to me. One bug is that when I click on/dismiss a notification the icon stays there sometimes until I swipe down on the curtain again. The new volume quick access that includes buzz and mute is nice though I don't like that just turning down volume from the main screen now controls media instead of ringer. The only thing I don't care for is the new window animation (app window bouncing open for lack of a better explanation). Seems like a waste of resources with no functional benefit. 2 apps that caused messages that they were designed for an older version of Android, but both worked fine and the message no longer pops up after hitting the OK button the first time you see it. All in all, P was a well though out and largely bug-free update. Clearly, it was extremely stable and ready for a general release that was earlier than any of us where expecting. I haven't seen anyone talking about reverting to O. That is always a good sign.

Substratum works on Pie, you just have to have root.

Substratum does not work on Pie, rooted or not.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00254:
Yes it does lol. There are Android P themes (lookup pitchblack)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Use Version 998
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00254:
BTW, we found a fix for the vendor issues and stuff.. I'll pm you later if you would like.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Cool would be appreciated thanks :good:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] borxnx:
I stand corrected. I tried it on 8/6 using the regular Substratum app. Updated to Magisk 16.7 beta (not sure if that's important), downloaded Substratum beta v999, and it works. Thanks for proving me wrong y'all! My scorched retinas are forever in your debt.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
You got that fix you was talking about? Just link it here
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00254:
I have a test build with it but I have not had time to flash it yet. I'll get to it tonight
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pizza_pablo:
It's pretty snappy. I'm digging all the little nuances, like the volume popup and the in call bubble that shows on top of other apps.

While using the phone, the clock in the upper left, catches my eye and I think it's a notification.

The nav pill is ok. I have a little trouble switching to previous app.

I signed up for the DIGITAL WELL BEING app. I don't know if it will be very useful, to me, but time will tell.

I do appreciate being able to darken the quick settings tray, but don't understand why notifications are left with white backgrounds.

I don't like having to pull down, twice, to get to settings.

ETA, I found another thing I like, the select text, expanding window and the copy / paste experience.

Anyone experiencing a laggy frame rate on the recent apps? It seems to work fine when i clear it for a bit but then it starts to become laggy once it gets clogged with apps. Never had this issue on oreo.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pizza_pablo:
Not here. It's pretty snappy. I am liking it better than stock Nougat, Oreo or Resurrection Remix ROM.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] VisionNN:
Did you install fresh or just update to Pie? I updated without factory reset and wondering if thats the issue.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pizza_pablo:
Clean install with flashall.bat
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] borxnx:
I always wipe when I take a major update (like everything that's not just a monthly security patch). I've found that things work a lot better this way. System files get gunked up sometimes, and I'm not sure how much I trust the update to actually do any cleanup whatsoever unless it's either critical or actually replaces a file with the same name.

Ever since Google added the automatic backup and restore for apps, app data (usually), settings, WiFi credentials, etc. -- back in what, marshmallow? nougat? -- and with the advent of Google Smart Lock, it's become SO incredibly easy to get my phone back to normal after a wipe. And now that it includes SMS and call log, and don't forget the the automatic Photos backup, I don't even have to manually back up anything.

It's almost like they know that people *should* wipe for updates so instead of fixing that particular issue, they just made the process as simple as possible.

Hi guys!!.. just tried substratum 998 and 999 and just got stuck in BUILDING AND INSTALLING OVERLAYS. Rooted Magisk 16.7.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tweaked:
To get mine to work

Android P with Root (magisk v.16.7

- Install substratum - V999 - https://plus.google.com/communities...9/stream/aac9ff3b-982c-4df1-9930-0525d65c0dfe

- Install a theme - I am using: sai's oreo theme https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=baka.sai.oreo&hl=en_US

- build and enable the theme.

- Using root explorer I went to /sdcard/.substratum and copied all the *.apks

- Using root explorer I Pasted them to: /system/app (just dump them into the folder.

- Reboot

- open the theme in substratum and then Enable overlay.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yhwh111:
Thanks for the instructions, I went to the substratum folder and there is not one APK there just two folders and two zip files...

I like Pie honestly. I've been running it since the second Dev preview so I'm pretty used to all the changes so at this point I'm just excited to see when the first custom ROM comes out and how Pie's changes influence the developer's creativity.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] STraver:
No BT Hearing Aid Support

I'm disappointed that the rumored support for bluetooth hearing aids wasn't included. I have to use a lousy apple phone because android still doesn't support BT hearing aids and apple does. There were a number of posts indicating the this feature would finally come to android with the release of Pie.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AllusionPDX:
I actually like it. The pill home button only took like 10 minutes to get used to and I find it actually rather intuitive.

I also have definitely noticed how smooth it is as stock.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
It is stupid, but I don't like scrolling to the far right in recent applications to click clear all. I keep right swiping into the Google screen because I forget to press the recent apps (square button on the bottom right) first.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nil253259:
Came here to find if someone is having similar experience. This is exactly what I've been seeing since updated to Pie. Clear all apps and opening and closing of app drawer is butter smooth. The moment apps get accumulated, I start getting frame drops. And it's very much visible. I hate it so much that I started searching app directly from Google search bar and stopped going to app drawer completely

P.S. I have done clean install with complete wipe of system and data
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] therealburk:
I'm having an issue with Pie running an external dac/amp through the USB-C port. When its connected the phone starts to lag until I either unplug the dac/amp or it restarts. Anyone else experience this??
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LeMoise:
If you enjoy the pill then I recommend XDA's navigation gestures app, it is like the build in Pie gestures but with a lot more options and customizability.

I'm loving Pie overall on my OG Pixel XL. Easy to root, fast, looks good, decent battery, basically everything I'd want.

Pie works a treat... so far!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
It's a stinking piece of ****e, Pie so far. **** those childish animations and all. The solar system live earth wallpaper doesn't work any more, it doesn't refresh with current cloud positions. The Telegram notifications don't show group's name. There's that stupidly childish volume thing, where ringtone/alarm will be played if you try to change them and so on. Should have never moved from Oreo.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I like Pie
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pizza_pablo:
Since you are using a Pixel, you can just go back to whichever version that you prefer.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Just to confirm here, the solar system live earth wallpaper doesn't show real-time cloud positions since Pie final release! I am not sure whether this is deliberate or a bug but its annoying as ****. Asked on Google community for a confirmation but if anyone knows anything here please input here. That's like the only wallpaper I cared to use on my device.

I like pie BUT battery life truly SUCKS MAJOR!!!

"we're making better ai and smart learning that'll improve battery this and extend battery that" yea right Google, you lie, my dying phone is the proof...

oh and the live earth wallpaper is cool but yea it doesnt update. shows all clear but it's raining outside smh lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
I have been *****ing about that live wallpaper doesn't update issue for over two months, nobody gives a **** about that apparently. If you are contemplating going back to Oreo kindly update whether Live wallpaper starts working again or not. And thanks for your input on battery backup, I have stopped looking at battery details since my devices is almost 18 months old, but of course its not better by any means on Pie compared to what it was on Oreo. In fact I hate Pie so so much, just have moved on as I have understood Google is going to continue ditching convenient, practical features and replace them with childish, inconvenient, time wasting features.

That live wallpaper issue bothers the hell outta me though, as I used to keep an eye on that for weather purposes and it always worked.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kinfolk248:
lol yea i was thinking i can just look at the wallpaper and see if it's going to rain. I was looking at it for a while like oh there is hurricane micheal over the carolinas but now its like wait wait, Im watching my local weather forecast and it has me covered in rain but my wallpaper has the sun. ay yi yi smh lol

but i probably wont go back to oreo tho even tho the little things do bother me about pie. other the less than optimal battery life, i do kinda like it slightly more than oreo but i like nougat the best of the three. I just cant go back that far to nougat cus a lot of app are now 8+ compatible. oh well i ALMOST went to iphone but pixel was cheaper and my wallet has the final vote as of now. saving for a car.

I have been facing that since Oreo. Google Play services is at the top...even above display. But this only happens when I'm connected to mobile data.

Happened to me all the time, instant tethering disabled, no gps, no data, bluetooth scanning and wifi scanning disabled...

Everything even animations and everything ive learned over the years in android and didnt apply...

This 2 screenshots are with lineage 15.1, with pandora and bluetooth on since 5:55ish am and you can see the time in the clock... And 2.5H of sot general browsing, social apps and messenger (infinitely better than stock pie)

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Aknnor:
Hello,

I bought a H910 off ebay, it said it was unlocked, the frequencies matched the ones of our carriers and it was not mentioned that the phone was AT&T.

Is there any way to get it to work on the local antennas?

I have attempted to :

- Use access points the carrier support

- Use the hidden menu to attempt to unlock frequencies, however the H910 has barely any options in there.

- Flash a H915 Rom in there while following the runningnak3d's guide : https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500

It gave much more options within the hidden menus, total control over any bands, protocals etc. However, it is in my understanding that the modem doesn't work when flashing a H915 from H910 even if the

hardware is apparently the same.

I have then continued the root procedure thinking it might give me the functional modem back with the additionnal options of the H915 but that wasn't the case. I even gained a bad looking warning startup screen.

So now I am wondering..... is there any way to get the signal working? I didn't find any guide or any posts which seemed to indicate steps. It is pretty frustrating that they give us so much troubles even if the hardware has all the capabilities, damn carriers.

If nobody has any suggestions, could I know where I could get the same H915 rom used on the kdz within the root guide? I would like to keep that rom and see if applying the modem fix would allow me to have signal.

Edit : ..... I just tried to flash the H915 again... and I was dumb, instead of selecting all, I kept the modem and recovery......... now my phone no longer want to boot and I can't even use LGUP since it is not booted. Download mode doesn't work either.

I thinks I just killed it :(

Edit 2 : Oh my god, just got Download mode to work, the procedure was slightly different than usual.

[HTC Sensation] murchz:
Hi there,

My sensation 4g on cyanogen 13 (android 6.0.1) by Ivanich.

After couple of weeks abroad on vacation using flawlessy my phone in roaming, the exact moment I got back to my country and I turned on the phone (after flight landed), my sim card instead of connecting as usual to my carrier could no longer register on to the carrier's network (I have signal / bars but can't register to network, hence can't use mobile data, send sms, call...). After running few tests and checks, it seems the IMEI automatically changed somehow (!!!!) from the one printed on the phone's box and phone itself and now the SIM card "rejects" the phone and can't connect (tried to insert other sim cards from other carriers but with no avail...).

Anyways, I got everything to change imei on a qualcomm chipset device (if htc sensation it were mtk it would have been way more easy) but the only thing I can't do is enable the diagnostic mode so to have the com port required to restore the IMEI... USing adb I try to reboot the phone in EDL mode so to download in it qualcomm drivers (required to enable the diag mode) but it keeps rebooting into regular android.... And my pc can't recognize the phone as necessary in order to then restore imei. Can someone please help me?

Just to make things clear: I don't want any support restoring imei (i know such threads are not allowed on xda) but just support on how to enable diagnostic mode. Please note that my phone is S-off and my bootloader is LOCKED.

Thanks

[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] FancyPantsu:
Is there a chance of being able to flash US997 or H870 to the Sprint variant LG G6? I tried US997 from H873 and got stuck in Fastboot. I was able to relfash/upgrade to H870 Oreo after this still. What's so similar with H873 and US993 that allows us to flash between these? I feel like there's a way to get around all this and we're just missing it..

The phone was detected as a US997 phone but did not boot. OEM Unlock was checked prior, along with USB Debugging if that helps any.

Feel free to comment what you've tried and why you think this will or will not work.

*Currently on H873 Oreo with Wifi/Sim working.
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] 5centr5:
H870 also stuck in fastboot?
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] patato21:
I think that the US997 firmware is incomplete. Most KDZ at https://lg-firmwares.com are around 2.42-2.7 GB in size, yet other G6 KDZ are 3.07-3.66 GB in size. This could be causing the H873 and H870 to get stuck in fastboot mode due to an incomplete US997 partition map. I flashed an AT&T H871 straight to US997 without issue, and a VS987 straight to US997 without issue. When I flashed the H871 with the H873 KDZ, then back to US997, the fastboot bootloop began (factory resetting does not fix).
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] 5centr5:
You need to restart your phone by holding the buttons (volume down and power) and when turned on, it will boot into download mode (the cable must be inserted into the PC and the phone, the volume button is clamped up). Then you need flash you phone with partition dl to H873.

H870 working too except network and wifi (wrong modem). Maybe working with H873 modem (i'm not trying)
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] patato21:
My phone is not permanently bricked. I can always escape fastboot with a restart and immediately after enter download mode and flash H873 KDZ. The problem is I want US997 on it to get VoLTE and better battery life. Just want to possibly find a fix to get US997 booting on an H873.
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] 5centr5:
This will not work out, because the us997 model has a larger system partition than the h873. And because of this, after the flash, the phone is downloaded to the FASTBOOT because the system partition is damaged. Therefore, you must first change the gpt table because LG UP not changed it. But with root rights it is possible(https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/help/request-backup-gpt-table-unlocked-us997-t3860123).
[Sprint LG G6 Questions & Answers] patato21:
Yeah the GPT partitions probably aren't being property written (old ones are left in even after flashing) and it switches system with the bootloader (abl/aboot) partition. Probably a jtag box like the Octoplus or Medusa Box can fix this with their custom firmware. Also download mode screen on the phone is stops at 98% and doesn't complete when flashing US997.
