[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RomPlinker:
Friday I got my replacement Pixel 2 XL. This was an accidental damage replacement from Assurant.

The device I received had VERY old September or October 2017 build on the device. I'm not even sure it was shipping code. I looked for the update and when I did I got this message:

View attachment 4588531

The update it took was actually the Sept 5 update. There wasn't anything interesting there, but the device ended up downloading at least one dogfood version of an app: the playstore:

View attachment 4588533

Overall the playstore had a real refreshed look to it. I say had because at some point the device downgraded all of the apps to production versions on its own. :(
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cnoevl21:
I've gone through the posts trying to find an answer. seems like people are having similar issues, but either not exactly the same or no solution found.

I have flashed to stock 7.1.2 ( i know its old, but i want back button kill function). I can use the twrp image to fastboot into it. But when i try to flash the twrp zip (ive tried from 3.1-current), i get the encryption issue. I tried doing this with security passcode set and also with it turned off. same result.

And when twrp is encrypted, i can no longer boot into system. If i try to, it just boots back into twrp (which remains encrypted). I then have to use fastboot and twrp.img to open an unencrypted twrp. From there I can at least boot into android. But i lose root.

Could i potentially use fastboot to get into twrp, flash magisk and xposed and it would work? Yes, i wouldnt be able to boot into twrp without fastboot. But at this point im just trying to get things working any way i can.

Was going to try custom rom but when i tried to flash RR i couldnt get past the boot screen (left it going for at least 20-30 min before forcing a reboot).

Since I cant even get twrp to stick. dont want to go trying to flash roms.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
yes, this should work. it's what i do. i fastboot boot the twrp image and then flash magisk. i don't used xposed and i don't flash the twrp zip anymore. if i need to use twrp, i'll just fastboot boot it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] BentMetal:
I flash every new ROM I can get my hands on. I'm addicted to it. I admit that sometimes I even get annoyed because a particular ROM hasn't been updated for a week. I know that is an unreasonable reaction, but that's part of the addiction!

Sometimes though, I flash one ROM then decide it's not the droid I was looking for then flash another only to be like, hmm, this one is missing this one option or feature and then go flash another.

I'll go from Lineage to MIUI and everything in between.

Aaaaaaaaanyway.... I get tired of flashing ROMs and wish I could just pick one and settle on my choice and stick with it for more than a couple weeks.

I've decided to try it and based on my experience I've chosen the Official AOSP Extended by thp@1997, Stormguard 6 kernel and Magisk.

It's official, there are loads of great customization options (love rounded corners), it's updated regularly and I get the best battery life with this combination (day and a half easily).

If I never flash another ROM I think I would be pretty happy with this set up.

What about you? If you could only use one ROM/Kernel combination what would you choose?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ovistranger:
I am also in same problem. Addicted to Rom flash.

I was happy with resurrection remix july build with stock kernel.used that for one month. ;-;

Now using havoc for 1 week. With stormguard kernel.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] e2vinay:
After trying many ROMs (didn't switch too frequently though) I settled with AICP(Lineage based)

it's pretty good rom with decent features and it is weekly ROM which has built in OTA like lineage ( automatically goes to recovery and flash the update)

some of features are

It has selinux switch (switching between permissive /enforcing), P animations, privacy guard (trust portal), option for editing screen shot, omni jaws, substratum support, etc..

I'm happy with stock kernel (gives around 8 hours SOT in light - moderate usage)

it's rock stable (at least for me)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] seijuro572:
dotos + revolt kernel the best for me
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] CanBostanci:
Official LOS plus FrancoKernel. Has a good battery backup with smoothness. I love the stability of the LOS 15.1, I know what I will be getting instead of fearing breaking a feature with an OTA. (Eyes on you, RR)

[Greenify] THEwed123wet:
i have this app but i dont know wich apps to hibernate, because people recommend to hibernate apps that you dont use but i kinda use a lot of apps , and if i use the magisk version can i hibernate apps without missing notifications?
[Greenify] DB126:
The only apps that need to be hibernated are those that frequently start or run in the background *and* consume significant resources. This is an infrequent occurrence on Android 6+ as doze keeps most bad actors in check. If you can not identify misbehaving apps there is little benefit to using Greenify.
[Greenify] THEwed123wet:
so not even boost mode with the magisk module will make a difference?
[Greenify] Oswald Boelcke:
Just to add to @Davey126's true and clear statement: Most likely not.

As you're obviously using Greenify4Magisk, please allow me to partially quote its OP:

To ensure not to miss any notification, Greenify needs to run as a Xposed module.
[Greenify] crittarr:
How can you tell that an app constantly restarts in background?
[Greenify] DB126:
Check to see if it (or related processes) are running and, more importantly, consuming excess resources. Built in tools are a starting point including the often ignored/maligned Android battery 'app' and the 'running processes' gadget usually located under developer options. Don't kill everything you see; just because it has a pulse doesn't mean it has to die (or be hibernated).
[Greenify] crittarr:
Can you name a third party root-free most reliable tool for telling how much energy apps drain?

I would be glad to know if apps are consuming excess resources but this is not told by the onboard android 7 tools I know of. If I go to battery more settings the most usage shows to be from android OS, bluetooth (headphones) and screen. Still making full (and probably excessive) use of tools like brevent or greenify does make the battery graph flatten noticeably.
[Greenify] DB126:
Built in tools are more than adequate but if you prefer 3rd party give GSAM a whirl as I find it easier to use than BBS (Better Battery Stats). Some also like Accubattery; too much flash and dash for my tastes. Good luck.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] shahrulghani:
Hi all,

I'd make a silly mistake earlier and I need help. This is what happened:

1) download and installed an apk from apk mirror (Google Phone);

2) the apk installed over the app already installed on my phone;

3) when opening the app, it says "device not supported";

4) download the correct apk but unable to install as app is already installed (the earlier installed apk);

My phone is not rooted (64/128). Any ideas on how to reinstall the correct app without getting the "device not supported" message?

Thank you and any help is greatly appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Lurensu:
Can you try to disable the app and then to enable it back?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] shahrulghani:
There isn't an option to disable the app as it is a system app. However, I'd managed to get this sorted. My solution - factory reset the phone! All is well now, despite the fact that I was unavailable for nearly an hour downloading and reconfiguring all my daily apps :)

Thanks, anyways.

How can I view the list of processes running on MIUI, including background or system processes?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] grizzzlly:
Hey, this thnig worked for me:

Some devices have a checkbox that says, "I trust this application." You must check the checkbox first before clicking OK.

If you cannot click OK or check the "I trust this application" checkbox, there might be another app on top of the dialog. Some known apps that can cause this are Lux Brightness, Night Mode, and Twilight.

To avoid this problem, close all apps that may be running in the background.

Help me please.

Try this if you are on Windows:

or this on Linux/macOS:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Lazy Rich:

It's odd but I have bad experiences with the older 800 series of Snapdragons. I'm still holding off Pocophone for the SD636 or SD660 until I'm sure it doesn't lead to me frying an egg with the phone after playing for 30 minutes.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Neznam123:
Playing youtube 4k video and the CPU is around 40c as well. Please note these are CPU temps I am talking about, not the battery temp which is in low 40s when the CPU goes above 90.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Neznam123:
Just played pubg for 20 min on the default settings - CPU temp peaked at 46 C. I guess this is normal but why does it spikes in 90s on the antutu stress test...

Please advise if this sounds normal.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] theaxis01:
That 80c spike has got to be erroneous. That's 176F, which would melt the back cover and everything else inside.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Oyongx:
yes it is true

I have the same experience. Run antutu and watch the temps using CPU float when it starts the CPU benchmark. Boy, it went all the to 95 C then goes back to 60 and 90 until the cpu part is finished. While gaming, this wont happen as the cpu will throttle depending how hot the battery temps. I posted the thread here at https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/phone-throttles-cpu-gpu-t3839525 so you can see the effect of battery temps on cpu performance.

My question is more like how antutu's cpu test really stress the phone. I run HWBot with cpu float and the maximum temp i was able to get was like 70-75 C while antutu can shoot the cpu up to high 80's to 90's in even cold phone state.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] danishdvn:
I think it is due to the fact that most of the companies optimise their software in such a way that the benchmarking apps consume the full CPU usage regardless of thermal throttling. OnePlus did this with their phones. My old leeco phone had the same optimization that it automatically utilized full CPU power in benchmarking apps. So I think similar is the case with Xiaomi's Poco f1
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] grosugabrielrom:
Poco F1 cpu temperature reaches 96 °C in Antutu

Mine too.It goes up to 96 C , then 60+., 70+ then again 96 degrees Celsius in Antutu stress test.

And in heavy apps goes beyond 60 °C.

I bought the phone from Romania, where I live.

[LG Stylo 2 Plus Questions & Answers] Baconandeggs34:
I had to do this because I borked my device after installing lineage. Here's my method:

1. Download stock kdz from lg-firmwares.com

2. Download uppercut

3. Download lg up (not sure if it's necessary but I did it anyway)

4. Install uppercut and lg up

5. Put phone into fastboot mode by holding the vol down button and connecting the usb cable while phone is off.

6. Run a command prompt from wherever you have fastboot installed.

7. Type the following: fastboot oem lock

8. When the command prompt says done, disconnect the phone and pull the battery

9. Reconnect the battery then hold the vol up button while connecting the usb cable to put phone in download mode.

10. Run uppercut and allow it access when the UAC pops up on your pc

11. Select the upgrade radio button in the middle of the screen

12. Click the 3 dots on the big space on the line next to the bin option and select the kdz file you downloaded then click start and just let it run it's course.

It took about 5 mins for everything to flash and when the phone rebooted, I was back on stock 7.0 with all the latest security stuff. I would recommend downloading the latest stock which is at the bottom of the list on the firmware site or you will have to sit through a few OTAs after the phone reboots.
