[ONE Original Android Development] TheManicTip:
User experience for POSP + OpenGApps

This post intends to give some user experience feedback regarding POSP + OpenGApps.

What did I do?

Flashed POSP (potato_bacon-9-20181030.Baked-v2.0.MASHED.zip) + Open GApps (open_gapps-arm-9.0-micro-20181106.zip) using TWRP 3.2.3-0 (twrp-3.2.3-0-bacon.img)

Remark: Flashing open_gapps-arm-9.0-mini-20181106.zip failed due to insufficent disk space (see OpenGApps log at the end of this post). Thus, next best thing --> use micro, which is what I did.

Remark: Used language is German, thus I will use the German terminology when explaining clicks etc.

Issues (related to probably both POSP and OpenGapps)

Camera

When I activate HDR and try to make a photo the camera app crashes reproducibly.

Question: Can I take HDR photos with my OnePlus One using POSP and OpenGApps?

Discover Feed

I see no way to deactivate the (quite annoying) Discover feed.

Workaraound

Go to "Apps & Benachrichtigungen" --> "Google" --> "Speicher" --> "Speicherinhalt Löschen" --> "Alle Daten löschen"

Going then to Discover feed results in "Google die Berechtigung erteilen, mir zu helfen" ---> "Nein Danke".

I have an empty "Discover" feed. But leaving and going back again to the "Discover" feed has it reinstantiated.

Question: How do I deactivate the Discover feed?

Settings --> OnePlus Gestures

Though all gestures are activated none off the gestures seem to work.

Question: How do I use the OnePlus gestures?

Overall User Experience so far

Battery life is better compared to Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1.2) (ROM I used before)

Voice quality during phone calls is better.

Easy way to replace background picture. --> Awesome. Clipping of the background picture might take long time. Results

in "Seems not to respond" --> Click "Wait" results in correctly clipped picture and no crash.

Overall responsiveness faster than before.

Some words to finish...

Please, bear with me regarding the mixing of POSP and OpenGApps. It's just the setting I chose, to get the experience

I describe to you.

And finally...

Thank you for the awesome ROM you provided!
