Tip to improve performance,add debug.hwui.renderer=opengl into the build.prop,it seens the titan can't handle Pie's new skiagl renderer smoothly so returning to standard opengl greatly improved smoothness and battery life for me,so renan if you read this can you make this property default or fix skiagl's poor performance?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Just in case anyone thinks this is a placebo enable gpu profiling on developer options with skia enabled and skia disabled,you will see skia has alot of ovehead compared to standard opengl on our titan
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Malethra:
I tried that but the bug persists ._..
[G 2014 Original Android Development] pesamurai:
I have the same problem with Google Play Music.

I have to reboot the phone

without

the jack inserted.

Weirdly with AntennaPod I haven't tyhis issue: sound works every time I try.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] amir.nawed:
Same thing happens with me, have you found a fix yet?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] inaroom:
I experienced slow downs and freeze on lock screen, system ui crash with this. But might be device related. Someone else tested?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Its working just fine for me,might be your device
[G 2014 Original Android Development] ProGamer02224:
Nope, I tried all the solutions said in several forums, but nothing worked for me
[G 2014 Original Android Development] IgorDSMelo:
It didn't work here as well.

If you want a fast and good rom you only need to donate to developer or you wait for the next build, no ETAs

Videos on instagram not work
[G 2014 Original Android Development] bejunk:
Tested this since you posted it, working great, its really a lot smoother now, especially in Launcher/appdrawer, recents and lockscreen too. Had no crashes or what ever at all. Absolutly stable
[G 2014 Original Android Development] m00nlighter:
[MENTION=7344859]RenanQueiroz[/MENTION] can you please check and update the prop file in the next LOS 16 build?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] TrippyEngine:
It is smoother indeed! However, you mentioned that the app drawer feels better, too. Does that mean that your app drawer is lag free now? Because mine is still choppy. Could it be that scrolling cache should somehow need to be enabled to fix that?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
App drawer still lags sometimes but only in portrait mode,landscape is smooth as butter all the time
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Dugatoembridge:
I tested here and really the improvement is noticeable! However this added a small random lag while pulling down quicksettings on homescreen.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] lorikeet:
I am using opengapps pico-20181013 and using swipe gesture in the default KB crashes it. Also, auto-rotation doesn't work all the time.

Otherwise, it has been stable(the latest build).
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
After some testing i concluded opengl has slightly better app performance but skiagl has better ui performance,also opengl has some small graphical issues,so i guess ill stay with skia as its giving me more consistent performance than opengl hwui,as a workaroud to the ui lag go back to skia then insert setprop debug.hwui.renderer opengl on the terminal at every boot and close your apps,this will keep systemui with skiagl but the rest with opengl
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Antoniozbx:
This thing can be set up by default? To avoiding make this operation
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Well its either skiagl then this process or opengl and an even longer process,you could probably create a init.d script to set that commamd at every boot
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Antoniozbx:
Yes, you have the reason, a init.d script, every boot, but I hope the OP see this and apply this fix or some people make a flashable zip file I am a newbie in this thing I want to learn about this
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
I hope the dev finds an actual fix and doesn't use this hacky mess as a quick workaround-ish fix
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
Installed the rom and added that line to my build.prop. Lag reduced considerably, but it's still there sometimes. Also i noticed battery drain, don't know if it's the rom or the hack
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Battery is pretty good here just some strange idle drains sometimes
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
It's draining faster than it was with nougat with lots of apps installed. My guess it's because the hack is forcing the device to use the GPU for everything thus promoting battery drainage. I think a custom kernel would help fixing this stuff, but they don't exist for Pie afaik.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Even on skia the phone is already using the gpu for everything,android is 100% gpu driven since jellybean,Lineage 16.0 is just not very optmized yet
[G 2014 Original Android Development] marcelo2866:
videos on instagram not work on Roms pie
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
Even though it's not fully optimized it's far less laggy than any oreo rom. And is the most stable pie rom from my experience. It's my daily driver and so far i didn't encounter any problem aside from the battery.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Altough apps are smoother the launcher and interface/statusbar are stuttery compared to the oreo roms i tried,the hack does somewhat fix the launher but the statusbar still stutters randomly
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
Here without the hack some apps used to freeze for some seconds in some places. Like twitter, it used to freeze for some seconds if i opened someone's profile, sometimes even frozing the entire phone, and i remember the same happens in oreo roms. The hack fixed it tho. Did you ever try adding it to some oreo rom to see if it gets less stuttery?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
It wouldn't work as my hack just changes the default renderer from skiagl to opengl,but oreo already uses opengl as its default renderer,also tbh i never had problems with oreo roms,they ran pretty well for me
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
Every oreo rom i tried started nice but with 2 or 3 days they started getting too laggy, far worse than pie. I never had these problems with nougat. Maybe it's the combo of apps i install on it, since they're allways the same.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Well nougat is the most stable version for the g2 with stability and performance similar or better than stock as its not difficult to grab a marshmallow device and put nougat on it,while newer versions of android require more adapations and hacks to be done in order to support older devices it may take awhile if ever for oreo/pie roms to be as stable and fast as nougat roms
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
I'm aware of that, but i believe pie roms(in special this one) is going pretty well stability wise, compared to oreo roms, in my experience/opinion.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Well most stability/battery/performance problems introduced in oreo were all caused by the new unified hardware interfaces (Treble,hidl) and fixing that on older devices has been proven tought but once you get the hang of it,it gets easier to make a pie rom as most (if not all) of the work put into oreo can be carried over to pie with minor adjustments,so its just a matter of renan fixing all the remaining issues (if possible)
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Nikhilesh Meher:
Hey, the link for viperfx is not available now. Can you please share a working one.?

I really was in a hunt in the internet for working version.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] thedeadfish59:
There you go!
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Nikhilesh Meher:
thanks very much dude!

there are 4 builds of magisk 16.7. I guess any one would work. Is it?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] TrippyEngine:
I think it's better to use magisk 17.1 that is stable and officially supports android Pie: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v17.1/Magisk-v17.1.zip
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
I installed v4a here and it doesn't work properly. After some time without listening to anything the effects goes off and won't work again unless i reboot. And when this happens the player that comes pre installed won't play anything, while another apps play normally. I'm on latest magisk.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Nikhilesh Meher:
does the v4a15 module work that is available in magisk 17.1?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] TrippyEngine:
As far as I remember, yes it does. To be sure, however, you can simply install the latest Viper4Android module from the Download section in the Magisk Manager app.

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Hmm, that's kinda weird, I haven't experienced anything like that, and I've been using it for almost a month. Have you turned off AudioFx? In my case it prevented V4A to process the music, so make sure it is disabled. Also, it could be a bug of the preinstalled music player. I'm using Phonograph with no issues.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
Thanks, i didn't think AudioFX would be the one causing this problem as it never did for me before. I turned it off and v4a is working again as it should. The default player is also playing again too.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Kajuru:
Install these modules.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] TrippyEngine:
Even with those modules installed, v4a stops working together with AudioFx after a while. I don't mind that, however, as viper is all anyone can need to customize music to his tastes.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
Yeah, i have previously tested these patches and they did nothing. Now I'm wondering if there's a version of Atmos that works on this rom. ?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] rana_yogi:
How to root?

Awesome ROM. working fine in XT1068:good:

please tell me how to root after successfully flashing this ROM?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Just flash magisk,you will find it here on xda
[G 2014 Original Android Development] rana_yogi:
I tried to flash Magisk-v17.2.zip several times but although it flashed successfully my phone status is still showing not rooted
[G 2014 Original Android Development] thedeadfish59:
Stick with 17.1 Stable/Beta 17.2, works nicely

lol you dont need to reboot, you just need to re-open (perhaps you can force-stop before doing it) the app, so that it can be effective again, it works just the way it should here, maybe something (ex. ram hogging app running in bg) is causing this to your phone, remove AudioFX or any other sound mods (or if you want to use any other sound mods, just install em and flash AML from magisk module after that to make all of mods effective at once)

And try light music players, i.e Phonograph recommended, tho pre-installed Eleven works fine with it
[G 2014 Original Android Development] m00nlighter:
Guys, if you want a good and free music player, try HibyMusic (available on Google Play). It even supports external DACs.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Kajuru:
You may need to install the magisk manager once you boot. If it's not showing on your drawer you can't give root access even tho magisk is installed.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] ProGamer02224:
If you have already flashed the magisk zip, then install the magisk manager apk and reboot the device once, or else it won't be showing the root.

If you haven't yet flashed the zip, install the magisk manager apk first, then go to the recovery and install the magisk zip file

I tried Evolution X kernel with OC and it works fine

Phone is running much better thanks to this ,I backed up boot just in case but didn't need it lol . Thanks again Renan and willizambrano01
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
This works on pie roms? Does setting up a password a unlocking after a reboot work fine? and bluetooth?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] clockstoper:
I already had numerical pin set on my phone

So yes it works fine for me on los16

Bluetooth does not work for me ,it not a big issue as I never use it anyway

EDit :Bluetooth works
[G 2014 Original Android Development] RenanQueiroz:
It should still be working on the new build. I believe only dual-sim versions were affected.

[G 2014 Original Android Development] tejasrao1996:
[MENTION=7344859]RenanQueiroz[/MENTION] Your new build is working fine for me. Dual sim phone but I use only single sim so everything is working. There is little lag in the animation (not noticeable most of the time) but as you make new builds it will go away. Thanks a ton, for bringing us pie. It's much better than oero, that's for sure.:victory:
[G 2014 Original Android Development] teco10:
Hello!

It is very good, even better than many Oreo, my Titan is dual, more like only use 1 chip, is working properly.

Congratulations Warrior [MENTION=7344859]RenanQueiroz[/MENTION] for more that work !!

You are the hand man.

Hug.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] RenanQueiroz:
Doesn't really matter...

I actually think Dual-SIM is working and it was a hardware issue from my tester, not the ROM's fault. If anyone wants to test if Dual-SIM works on their device, feel free to do it, and tell me if it worked or not.

Edit: Dual-SIM is fully working on 08/26 build!!
[G 2014 Original Android Development] jackcicci:
!! thank you !! :D
[G 2014 Original Android Development] danapk:
dual sim is fully working yeahh...:good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[G 2014 Original Android Development] TrippyEngine:
Guys you aren't going to believe me, but my titan recognised BOTH SIMS! They make calls as well, haven't tried anything more as I wont have time in the near future. But omg! It's quite smooth too! Thanks for all your hard work. If it helps, I followed the steps you wrote, but I didn't wipe the internal shared storage. Idk if it made any difference

edit: got too excited and didn't see that more people got dual sims working lol
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Dugatoembridge:
Fantastic performance, better than any Oreo rom!

Only lawncher has a random lag (all I tested), which seems to be related to navbar. I deactivated the navbar with magisk module and lag is gone completely!

No bug found, other than the known ones.

I activated zram with kernel adiutor (out of curiosity), and the performance was very good (without the performance drops that occurred in Oreo roms)!
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Pixx 1001:
Wow, amazing! A stable Android Pie ROM for titan, I was waiting for this, I will flash it after night here ,and give a feedback (and i hope i can help in the development of this ROM for the community reporting any bugs). Thanks Renan!
[G 2014 Original Android Development] thedeadfish59:
Just if you guys are wondering ViperFX is working on this rom or not, this version of viperfx is working with Pie+Magisk 16.7
[G 2014 Original Android Development] m00nlighter:
Unbelievable. Renan you kick a$$ for sure.

The only feature missing is working Bluetooth.

Guys, does HDR work in camera?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] thedeadfish59:
Surely it does, smoother than oreo
[G 2014 Original Android Development] TrippyEngine:
I wonder, how come it is smoother, even though it is a new version for our device. Could it be that Android Pie uses less resources, or is it optimizations of LineageOS? There is only bluetooth missing, too. Oreo roms took months to fix many bugs: HDR, video recording, offline charging...

All this makes me hopeful that our Titans can live for years to come!
[G 2014 Original Android Development] thedeadfish59:
Attention:

Consider this thread for any off topic discussion about Pie other than bugs, ROM dev thread should be only for Issues which is yet to be discovered/yet to be fixed, help devs to identify important reports, peace
[G 2014 Original Android Development] TrippyEngine:
HDR and torch work very fine. However, I noticed that most times, when closing an app with the back button, no screenshot is saved at recents. Also, sometimes after closing an app, the recents are shown, mostly with old apps already cleared in the past. Not important bugs, but bugs nonetheless, so I thought I should report them.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Bluetooth worked before flashing the kernel?,also how the bluetooth doesn't work? Does it not turn on?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] clockstoper:
It does not turn on it gets stuck at turning on

I think bluetooth worked before flashing
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
How does the bluetooth doesn't work? Does it not turn on?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] clockstoper:
It gets stuck at turning on from quick settings menu

EDit :it works just fine
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Its working just fine with this kernel,are you on the latest build of 16.0?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] clockstoper:
I am on 16.0 20180916 version

I think that's the latest version

AHAAA silly me I had Bluetooth 9 frozen lol my bad

Everything works ! Thanks for helping me find it lol.haha
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Strange,its working perfectly for me
[G 2014 Original Android Development] clockstoper:
Try this out guys it makes phone run very smoothly and sound boost also works in kernel auditor

Everything works haha
[G 2014 Original Android Development] rana_yogi:
Thanks a lot.

Works like charm :good:
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
I can confirm this kernel works, the rom is far smoother now.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] pesamurai:
Also audio issue (no sound if is plugged in) is solved?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] clockstoper:
do you mean earphones ?

can confirm earphones work fine here .
[G 2014 Original Android Development] ProGamer02224:
I get this error whenever I install this ROM, but that error is only during the initial setup,

Whenever I get a force close error during setup, I'll just click out of that error dialog box, it brings back to the setup page where I left and so I can continue again, I get this force close error at least 7,8 times during the initial setup, so you should be doing the same all time and then you can enjoy this great ROM.

I have been using this ROM as daily driver since its been released and After initial setup I have never seen any force closes.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] angryhari:
Does this work for Lineage OS 15.1 of [MENTION=7344859]RenanQueiroz[/MENTION] ??
[G 2014 Original Android Development] clockstoper:
Yes certainly it does

T'was made for Oreo Los 15.1 originally but I tested it on pie it worked so reported it here
[G 2014 Original Android Development] TrippyEngine:
Renan could you tell us any news, it's been more than a month since the last build. I'm not asking for an eta, just asking if the next build is still on progress or not. Even if you don't want to keep building, please tell us how to lower the minimum brightness :p

Anyhow, the rom runs pretty smoothly, especially after some recommendations from users in this thread.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] maxidiaz:
The kernel works, but don't see any difference in smoothness.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] ameerjahanap:
Yeah...same here!!
[G 2014 Original Android Development] clockstoper:
Did the kernel flash successfully ?

I ask because it makes a huge difference in app load times and seliminates lag on my 4year old Titan and the OC to 1.5 helps speed up things a lot too ,try running a benchmark maybe that way you will know the difference ......
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Emmon:
For lowering the minimum brightness: go to settings - display - live display - color calibration - set R, G, B all to 60(or whatever you prefer)
[G 2014 Original Android Development] maxidiaz:
Yes, the kernel was flashed successfully. But i can´t see any difference. In my use, the rom behaves similar, and in some cases, worst. I experience random lags when open an app, or in the use, sometimes the app frezzes a few seconds. And also, the battery consumption increase in comparassion.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] DanGLES3:
Its because this rom has overclock to 1.6ghz,use kernel auditor to tone down the overclock,its buttery smooth here for me with 1.4ghz
[G 2014 Original Android Development] ashu.droid:
Please get me the link of the launcher!!??
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
try changing the renderer to opengl as stated before by DanGLES3
[G 2014 Original Android Development] SharkyBeAre:
Update (?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] angryhari:
Can we flash Dolby Atmos in this rom??
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Danick8989:
I tried before and it gave me a bootloop. Viper works if you turn off AudioFX.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Kajuru:
JamesDSP also Works.
[G 2014 Original Android Development] Nikhilesh Meher:
Why can't I see the downloads in the notification from playstore while notifications are turned on for it?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] inaroom:
How's battery life with the kernel suggested? I ask because my battery isn't that good to start..will def try it. Also the opengl hack seems to worsen my titan performance, I tried a couple times and I feel more smooth without it..

please be kind and do not ask for update or updates on update..we're lucky enough to have new ROMs on 4 years old device which run pretty good. II know you mean no harm but I wouldnt be pleased I was the dev. I mean this saved me from going on a moto z2, so it's gold already
[G 2014 Original Android Development] ameerjahanap:
I can confirm that opengl renderer is pretty smooth...way smoother than skiagl!!
[G 2014 Original Android Development] inaroom:
then i think i have some kind of problem with my device, maybe the sd card slowing everything? also because i tried the kernel posted above and it´s a huuuuuuuge step down in performance, phone practically unusable, total stutter, system ui not responding error always popping up.. how to revert to stock los 16 kernel? just dirty flash the rom?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] ameerjahanap:
I would suggest a clean flash and then change the render settings. Did you tweak the CPU **** speed?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] pesamurai:
could someone post the starting kernel?
[G 2014 Original Android Development] inaroom:
no i didn´t touch the clock speed i don´t have kernel adiutor installed..maybe i wait for someone to post stock kernel,if it doesn´t show up i try dirty flash, if have problem i try clean flash..you know i tried the hack and kernel for the sake of performance but i was kinda happy in how los 16 was behaving, battery aside which is sorta my problem for the battery is pretty beated...
