Honestly, I had some issues with my banking app with Magisk/Root installed so I started from scratch with Lineage starting by following the instructions there to the letter.

I am currently back on Lineage and my phone doesn't seem to be hot anymore and I am hoping that the battery issue is solved for now.

Your experiences with Pie seem to be great and I am happy for you. For my particular phone I will wait a bit longer and hope for the best on the stable Lineage I have been using for a while.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mattern1974:
Magically my battery life seems to have come back to me on Lineage with the Fornax Neutrino kernel after almost 3 days of mega battery drain nightmare. I sure hope future Pie updates are stable for everyone in the battery department.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] autosurgeon:
Most likely play services or some other app was the drain culprit. Mine had issues yesterday and it was play services on a rampage. Cleared the cache and data set everything back up and all is fine again.

Just a suggestion for a Messenger alternative.

Signal, a nice and secure open source alternative for Whatsapp like and SMS apps.

Nice thread btw. I try to avoid Google and Microsoft stuff where I can aswell.

Too bad we don't have a nice mobile Linux for our phones.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] elvinguitar:
Thanks for creating this thread. By the way, have you experienced some error when uninstalling some apps? I tried removing Gmail (via debloater) but after that, I keep getting crashes on some of my apps. Even magisk crashes.

Also, I tried uninstalling Chrome via debloater, but it seems like it's not working. What's your preferred way of uninstalling apps?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] adriakus:
I haven't experienced any issue unisntalling/disabling any of the mentioned. Except for google services. They are required by some third party apps to display a map layout. I uninstalled Gmail and Chrome with no problem.

What is "debloater"?

I preffer unisntalling apps via the traditional method when possible (settings/apps/unisntall). Same with disabling them. With Android One you can uninstall/disable most apps this way. I've experienced no issues.

For the apps thet the disable option is not available, I use an app known for being warez (I like it and I use it only for the powerful tools it provide). But there are other apps that'll do the job even better. In another device, I used APP2SD with another purpose, but I loved it. Titanium Backup is a powerfull tool that should work, too. However, you'll need the PRO package if you want to disable system apps. AppMgrIII and App Manager promise to get the job done, too. You'll need root with all of them, though.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] adriakus:
Added Signal to the list. I'm more than happy with the other app because I only want it to recive sms. It's been ages since the last time I sent one. My brother uses SMS and he's happy with what Signal provides.

If you have any other ideas on how to stay away from the big guys, let me know :)

This is the tool that I'm using to debloat my device: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-terminal-debloater-debloat-t3584163
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] adriakus:
Actually, I didn't unisntall Gmail nor Chrome. I just disabled them with no problem.

I don't know how this debloat tool works. My suggestion (someone might advise otherwise) is to do as much as you can via the default settings menu. Is you device rooted? If so, I'd rather use one of the apps mentioned before (by me ir by [MENTION=8237713]thorin0815[/MENTION] ) to disable the locked ones. Personal preference. Mostly because I'm quite new to all the "systemless" thing, but also because I don't really care about OTA updates, so I don't need the system partition intact. I'll update android once LineageOS is ready. But again, this is how I'd do it. You might preffer another way.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkeyst4tus:
I'm trying this tonight.. I finally was able to create a working vendor partition with a flashable zip.. The guide refuse to work for me.. I tried everything from every page in the repartition thread.. I kept getting error 7 failed to mount system.. I'll share to people struggling with the PC method.. The zip can add or remove vendor partition from twrp.. It ask if you want to use system or data partition to create vendor.. And you can make it 512mb or 800mb.. I used data partition to create and 800mb just in case and it worked.. System failed to mount and install anything, every time from the repartition thread .. Or if I chose to repartition System in twrp zip, system failed to mount installing anything.. Thanks for sharing.. I appreciate you and others hard work.. I'm experimenting with easier methods of going from stock to GSI without PC..

Cool, thank you!

Edit: did you need to install the treble twrp?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkeyst4tus:
No.. Not to install.. But to use and format vendor you do.. I flashed a treble ROM last nite and it flashed perfectly.. The issue I had was with all the options it needs to be in front or behind system or vendor partition.. It ask you where to put it.. I got a 3rd option picking the wrong location for vendor.. Don't pick it! Use hardware keys to start over.. Even though it will mount and flash.. Twrp need it to be in front or behind system or data partition to boot.. It kept booting back to recovery for me.. Then when I try flashing party to remove vendor, I got a message that since vendor in the wrong location twrp can't reverse the process.. The only way to reverse it is with kdz or manually restoring gpt with repartition thread restore method.. I used that method to manually create the gpt backup..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Who-Lep:
Thanks again, I will try tonight and said you used data partition?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkeyst4tus:

Hi,

I am new to the Mogul PDA, I was wondering whether there is some software or registry hack to do the following:

- While on the phone, opening the keyboard would turn on speakerphone..(also perhaps answering the phone using speakerphone by just opening the keyboard.)

- Then to turn off the speakerphone, closing the keyboard...

The closest thing I found is the software Speakerphone - AutoOn but it just automatically turn on the speakerphone.

Hopefully someone has a solution for that.

Thank you in advance

Okay so here is my issue. I wanted to root/flash my

. Okay followed the instructions and unlocked bootloader. Then I wanted to backup existing ROM etc. so I googled it and found out that for this I will need to have some recovery like TWRP.

I went installed TWRP with “fastboot flash boot twrp.img” – I should have done “fastboot flash recovery twrp.img” which means I am stuck here now...

Then I searched for official firmware. Found that (https://xdaforums.com/z3/general/ftf-stock-firmwares-xperia-z3-models-t2886061) with ftf extension. Installed fastboot/drivers let it run few times already and nothing.

I get something like this

INFO – Flashing finished.

INFO – Please unplug and start your phone

INFO – For flashtool, Unknown sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings

INFO – Device disconnected

Like it went through if I see? Or this Debugging option is the problem?

Not sure what can I do now. Is it possible to get android working from this point or should I just throw my phone away now? Please if you know how to fix this or if you have any idea tell me. I will appreciate it a lot.

Or am I doing it wrong? As I found that it should be better to exclude sin – kernel while trying this stock ftf? Should I include it next time?:confused::confused:

Or if anybody could advise me where to get like this boot image. Or I should try to install some custom ROM and it might work and I could get my android system again.

I've just captured the Official OPP28.85-16 OTA for retail cedric and I'm posting it here. I'm on retbr channel but this will work on any retail device. If you're on another updated channel, I don't know what would happen if you installed this.

Notice that to install this YOU MUST be on NPPS25.137-93-2-5 to install these, since OTA's are not full firmwares like fastboot files, but instead they're patchings tailored to be applied upon a specific firmare - NPPS25.137-93-2-5 in this case.

Another particular detail is that the OTA file (gotten directly from my credric) lists the Blur Version as Blur_Version.25.361.10.cedric.retail.en.US, but curiously, the fastboot version for the same firmware ( which you can download here) lists it as Blur_Version.28.41.15.cedric.retail.en.US

Someone also reported in another thread that they just sideloaded this upon the Second Soak test. I wouldn't doubt it since this is what should happen to regular soak testers, but if you do it, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

I also won't post instructions on how to install this since they're already available here
