Since darkobas said the new update is based on 9.0.3, what do you think ?

Obviously it's better to switch to 9.0.3 and make a backup before. Clean flash highly recommended. You can try to just update and stick to 9.0.2 but if you have issues... :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dkv2222:
So I should first flash 9.0.2. Then on top install 9.0.3 and then install Omni? Is that correct?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
factory reset

flash 9.0.3 on both slots

flash omni and other necessary files
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dekefake:
What I personally do is flashing the fastboot version of stock roms from XDA, but I flash all images manually, skipping system, dtbo, boot, and vbmeta (stock vbmeta prevents twrp from booting). Then I boot into twrp (installed because I had it previously), and use the commands in the fastboot roms XDA thread to flash the remaining images. Then, reboot twrp, flash Omni zip, twrp installer, reboot twrp, flash gapps, magisk, Blu spark and reboot, updated to 9.0.3 base and updated Omni
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Wilguens Joachin:
All that is so unnecessary. Lol
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dkv2222:
I wouldn't wanna flash fastboot versions because that would wipe my internal storage.

I wanna upgrade without wiping internal storage.

I have a lot of data stored and Android's file transfer is horrifyingly slow
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] DrunkenDragon:
I am looking our for the same solution
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dekefake:
So how you'd simplify that ? This is way faster than flashing the full update in both slots.

It doesn't wipes, I don't wipe userdata partition or flash an img on it. Just wrote a sh script to flash all images and it's done in about a minute, maybe two. Of course I don't use the scripts they provide
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] jonny30bass:
Faster? Maybe. Easier? Not really. Necessary? No.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dekefake:
On 1gbps plan, 15 seconds to download, 15 more to unzip, 2 minutes to flash using a script and done. I just dirty flash Omni after that. That's my way to do, and i dont really care if you guys think it's unnecessary, I'm fine with it. Just tell us your method or stay silent
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ItsmYarD:
I'm still having problems with push notifications. I turned off battery optimization for apps like whatsapp and hangouts. I did re-install the apps, did reboot the phone as well. Since this is my daily driver I can't experiment much with other roms. Is there any fix for it? Should I give oreo a try otherwise?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Juli112:
Just tried to flash all images from 9.0.3 besides system, dtbo, boot, and vbmeta but after boot I just get a black screen and the display just does not work...

Edit: Okay now I flashed the 9.0.2 vendor.img back and the display works again.. shouldn't it work with the 9.0.3 vendor.img as well?!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dekefake:
Did you flashed the other images via dd, in twrp ? Didn't encountered that issue when upgrading. Of course you shouldn't boot Omnirom if it's built with 9.0.2, with 9.0.3 firlware installed :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sidharth.299:
Wifi connection

If i flash stock base 9.0.3 and then the lastest update of this rom, will wifi connection connect automatically to the saved network as previous version of the rom seem to have this issue, noticed it in pixel experience too. Any advice will be helpful
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ajerkdude:
Having problems with the install. Flashed 9.0.3 to A/B, then followed the directions exactly, not installing TWRP, just fastbooting, etc.

I get an endless Omni boot animation (> 10 minutes)

Once I tried without gapps: open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20190110.zip

and the ROM booted.

Rebooted to recovery, installed gapps, and faced the boot animation again.

Other threads have suggested modifying build.prop to turn off the wizard, but that didn't seem to work for me, but I could try again (trying to not modify system).

Suggestions?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Id start with trying 9.0.2 instead. Seems like people are having issues with 9.0.3, even though omni suposed to work be 9.0.3 after the update
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ajerkdude:
Same deal. I'm going to try a few other roms. See what happens, will report back.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] darkobas:
my guess its gapps permisions derp o,clock
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] anderson79:
every time I rebooted the WiFi I got disconnected someone knows why it happens? I have to go to settings and reconnect
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ajerkdude:
Hmm, Not sure.

Installed Havoc, no problems, same gapps, etc. I'll keep an eye here, as Omni was my preference.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
Would you mind explaining a bit more please? I'd like to understand this issue once and for all. Like nanodroid doesn't work either and same goes for Nisse's microG installation script. Whereas both work on any other ROM. If you only install apps in /system/app it's fine but not in /system/priv-app

You can check the scripts yourself:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78328186&postcount=18

https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/ (microG)

Every time you try to install any it just bootloop. I didn't have the opportunity to take a log yet though.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] darkobas:
lol. i think they even ship selinux permissive.

try older gapps. or take logs and let then know.

every privileged app must declare its permissions in an xml and installed on system.

taking logs is mich easier than wasting time on xda :)

Hello [MENTION=3479861]darkobas[/MENTION],

All my videos (internal + apps like YouTube) are laggy.

They are stuttering, + no audio.

This was same with Treskmod too.

Default kernel tried fr both treskmod and this omni.

Also tried Smurfs kernel and blu-sparks kernel with tredkmod with same results, no improvements.

OS flashing sequence:

*flashed fastboot OOS 9.0.3 on both slot a and then b. (this wiped entire internal 64gb space)

*flashed treskmod 20190105 + twrp.blusparks (while on slot b)

*reboot to recovery

*wipe data + cache.

*while on slot a, flash magisk+ reboot.

Had slow video playback on tresk with def +other kernels (i tried other kernels to see if problem solves)

Then..

*reboot to recovery

*flash omni(darkobas)+twrp.blusparks

*reboot to recovry (brings me to slot b)

*wipe data + cache.

*flashed gapps + magisk > reboot.

Still the same problem persisted.

I even done i/o benchmark tests fr internal storage and compared with other OP6 with OOS, albeit there was no difference.

Please advice if any.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] darkobas:
firmware + vendor must match
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] MaestroCharan:
Thank you vry much for the solution! :angel:

Though I'm not clear what should I do to achieve this.

Could you please elaborate or let me know where I went sideways?

Hi [MENTION=3479861]darkobas[/MENTION] sorry that im asking here but I have strange problem with treskmod. I can't connect to 1 specific secured wifi ('wifi extra' in underground stations provided by my sim network Giffgaff ,so i have free access via my sim card) but with tresk it just can't connect it trying to but after long time of 'connecting' it just not connecting and i can try again to connect but it'll never connect.. I remember on OOS it was no problems. I have tried few days ago AEX rom for OP6 and i was able to connect to that wifi. I have attached a log.

Could you take a look?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Cablespider:
Did you report it in the treskmod telegram channel?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] meistr91:
Yes, and he kick me out, cuz that group isnt support group..:D so people recommended to ask in omni group.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
What a joke...

So the guy takes 90% of the work from another ROM, still refuses to make a XDA thread and now refuses yo give support for it. I don't know why you want to use tresk over omni considering all this.

Thank you.

I tried fastboot flashable OOS 9.0.2, then used twrp flashable zip flash of 9.0.3.

Finally it solved the problem.

Seems like the 9.0.3 fastboot flashable file was causing that problem.

Absolutely friggin Rockstar of a Dev. I've bounced around trying different roms and always end up back on stock for various reasons(either camera or battery drain generally).

[MENTION=3479861]darkobas[/MENTION] and all users of Omni,

Have you tried restoring of TWRP backups of OMNI ROM?

I'm getting the following error while restoring TWRP(blu-sparks) backups of OMNI ROM (same with OMNI Treskmod):

"ExtracTarFork( ) process ended with error 255"

This error appears after wiping data and before restoring 'data' (which comes after restoring system and vendor images).

Got same results with OMNI + gapps (no magisk no mods).

(Installed 9.0.3 on both slots and then OMNI.

Tried same after installing OMNI on both slots too.)

Got same results everytime.

Please advice.

(Web search gave me no reliable results!)

(caution: if this error comes, you will be left with reinstallation of ROM and start fresh)

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

What is your experience with restoring TWRP backups of this OMNI ROM?

(Refer above post for info on the matter)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
I've never tried restoring backups with Omni.

So I figured out why some .zip wouldn't work with Omni. Here is the solution, in case you were wondering: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78667840&postcount=5303

Darkobas thank you for hinting me that it was related to permissions.

hi how do we update over OTAs? then set up Magisk, Kernel and stuff. Should I flash twrp again?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] filjusz:
Yep, i had this error few times on my fiveT. Just flash everything you need (omni, gapps, magisk etc) and at the end restore ONLY DATA from Your backup. It should work (at least worked for me)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Ducter:
I don't use trwp backups but the recovery should have a log file saved, pull it from the phone and see what it says. It should tell you when/why it errored.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] MaestroCharan:
Since I had restored system and vendor, only data was left.

So next time I tried to do data only restore, got the same results.

Still, i thank you for your suggestion.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

Things happened such ..that I couldn't save log file in time.

Wish I had done that..would have had better data to analyze.

I would still suggest you to try backing up and restoring once, so you know it's working when you need.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Finally found my way out! :highfive:

Fortunately in the infinite loop of trials I did, I once forgot to flash TWRP over OMNI.

And so it happened that I ended up in OMNI's recovery.

This had only two options : wipe data & reboot.

Had to use vol keys to navigate.

And so I went with 'wipe data' option.

This cleared everything, even my internal memory. One would say that's obvious.

What was new to me was that.. after I reflashed TWRP again,

#it did not ask for the key/password.

#I was able to change slots and was able to access internal data (while from both slots) and did not see random named folders instead of my files.

This was the usual case when I encrypted the phone with pin while from one slot and switched to other slot from recovery menu..and then booted back to recovery to check my internal storage.

This all was..even after wiping data from TWRP.

And so I repeated the whole process and found that my "ExtracTarFork( ) process ended with error 255" was no more existing, and neither was the slow video playback broblem.

Thank you all for helping me out.

Little suggestions go a long way. :highfive:
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
It's because you deleted your internal memory that paradoxically, you could access your internal memory without encryption issues or whatever. There's nothing left so the system becomes visible again, it's normal. :) It's part of the safety.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] law16:
For folks having issues with TWRP restore

Try restoring boot and data in TWRP ... Then reboot into recovery... At this point you might have to fastboot the TWRP.img to get it up again.. Once back up just restore system from your back up and reboot. I used to do this on a previous version on TWRP not sure if it still works.

Hey [MENTION=3479861]darkobas[/MENTION] , I think I found a bug on latest build. I've tried with stock kernel and other kernels too. I'm not running any weird mods.

When in the settings I hide the notch, and I switch app quickly, there a white transparent bar that appears for a very short amount of time at the bottom of the screen, on top of the navigation bar. See here: https://i.imgur.com/cnTCdY1.png The screenshot looks weird because it's hard to take with the right timing but you can see the white bar.

If I remove "hide notch", there is no problem at all. Any thoughts about this? Also, if other users could check it would be nice it's not because of something specific to my setup. Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nightz_:
I faced the same issue. And it is in every rom I've tested. Turning window animations off fixes the problem for me
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
I can confirm it. And I think it has also happenned to me on other custom ROMs. If you want a temporary fix I'd recommend you nacho notch it works really well.

Hello [MENTION=3479861]darkobas[/MENTION], I've already asked about this, but probably you're busy ebough to read everything, so u will ask again sorry. So I have wifi connectivity isue with 1 specific secured public wifi called "wifi extra" its provided for free in metro underground stations for sim network users. When ever Im trying to connect it keeps 'connecting' for long time and drops out and i can press again and it will do the same. I have tested on oos it works perfectly, on aosp extended it works. This happening only on treskmod and on omni. I have log this time from omni rom (first time i posted tresk roms log). I have checked the log and log says something about it in wpa lines, sadly i dont understand clearly those logs. This happening from the first build i tried 2-3 months ago. If you could check this thing, i would really appreciate that. That wifi for me very useful when im underground traveling.

When I use "GSM/WCDMA (auto)" as preferred network type (which I do due to stronger signal), GPS takes ages to get a fix and also constantly keeps losing the fix . When I change the preferred network type to to "Global" GPS works like charm.

Man, I really wish I had something negative or even critical to say about this ROM. No matter what I try, I always find my way back. I have been using this ROM as my daily driver for the past two weeks non-stop, and nothing has kept this down.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] BossNexusS:
Just curious what are the differences between here and treskmod omni?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
Treskmod is based on this ROM, but includes gapps and uses a different kernel. That's the biggest differences.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] BossNexusS:
Is there any advantage of this versus treskmod?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tomatot-:
I think the question should be the other way around: is there any advantage to use Treskmod over the original Omnirom? AFAIK, no. That's why I use Omni. I prefer to use ROMs based on nothing but AOSP. At least when there is an issue you know who to ask. If you use treskmod first you're not allowed to report bugs and then you'll never know if the bug is because of Omni itself or Tresk itself.

If you want to switch because there are things you don't like on Tresk I don't think it will change with this ROM. Factory reset, then flash ROM twrp reboot ROM twrp reboot (gapps) magisk (kernel) reboot done
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] BossNexusS:
