According to this guy's tests, a plastic one is better if you want to prevent your screen cracking from impacts and fall damage.

The persistent rumor that the opposite is true doesn't even make sense to a scientist such as myself - glass is hard and brittle, and will transfer impact energy to the screen, while plastic is soft and will dissipate a lot of that energy.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] h0LLe:
I almost never drop my phone, but wear it in the pocket all the time with tiny dust etc which might cause scratches. Aslo I hate the feeling of a plastic foil on the screen, its just not as smooth as a glas surface. That's why I use the tempered screen protector.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] eiraku:
If plastic meaning those THICC Rhinoshield types, I can actually concur with this. Unfortunately, scratch resistance wise (and even puncture resistance), seems plastic doesn't do as well as glass owing to the much lower hardness... you cant make plastic 6H no matter how hard (ehem) you try.

Source, I've been using Rhinoshield-alike protectors for quite a while, with my previous phones and now with the OP6 - though I recently moved on to a matte TGSP (well, technically a TGSP with a matte film bonded to it looks like).

As for thin plastic protectors, even the vinyl types, I'm pretty sure they're too thin to actually absorb anything TBH, but I can be wrong. Note that the guy in the video did say "plastic of equivalent thickness to a glass protector" being more resistant to impact.

On the flip side however, did you also factor in the dispersion of force when a glass protector breaks apart? That alone might already save the real stuff underneath from suffering the same fate under more realistic conditions (drops, minor impact), considering people don't usually go through the "huge-metal-ball-to-screen" thing in real life all that often.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] nabbed:
I agree with what you said. All of these factors are important. I haven't done the tests myself, but when I saw the video, it reminded me of a sales rep at a Verizon store trying to sell me a glass screen protector over the plastic one, trying to convince me that glass is better than plastic for impact resistance. It didn't make sense at the time, and this video seems to confirm my initial gut reaction.

Hence the thread.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] eiraku:
Well, at least for impact resistance alone, yeah the guy might be wrong. But the guy was probably just trying to sell his stuff from a fact sheet and might not know any better either lol.

On the other hand, one still needs to keep in mind that we're not only trying to protect the screen against impact here. Scratches are probably an even worse problem TBH in day to day use. As such, in the end its probably best that materials use offer a good balance of impact AND scratch protection, which IMHO, a "properly designed" Glass protector "should" be able to do in a more balanced way then a Plastic one.

Although, if impact protection is ALL you need your screen protector to be good at, then yeah I'd say a thick plastic sheet protector like the Rhinoshield (and it's OEM brethren the X-One and the Rastabanana) is probably top dog.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] robotneg:
Hello,

I own a CMR-W09 with the 8.0.0.168 system. I try to install the 8.0.0.181 OTA update but I get a “insufficient space” error dialog box: I need to free ~200MB.

Why is that? The update is “only” 465MB and I have 1.1GB of free space on the storage card (/data) and 1.4GB on the system partition. Isn't this sufficient?

I get the same kind of error when trying to update apps: sometimes 500MB of free space aren't sufficient to update a 10MB app. How so?

That leads me to this model disk usage: is this normal the /data partition is only 22.2GB? Of which a gigantic 13.7GB is used for system data? Meaning I only get 8.5GB (or even 6.2GB if I take into account the 1.3GB I should keep free for OTA updates!) to install my own apps … I expected at least the double when buying a 32GB device!

Any way to extend this? Through adoptable storage? Or Link2SD (but it seems there is no way to unlock the bootloader nor to root this device as of now) or anything similar?

OpenGAPPS

ROM is without Gapps, you must flash it if you need it.

Since /data is not manageable from TWRP, it cant handle encryption.

You will need to flash arm64 nano version for Android Pie (9.0) from https://opengapps.org/ and push it to device from PC terminal (command promt in Windows). You wont be able to access the file if you simply copy it from PC to device.

1. Boot device in TWRP

2. FORMAT data (not wipe)

3. Reboot recovery (no restart of system!!)

2. In shell/command prompt on PC

adb push open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20181011.zip /sdcard/

3. flash open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20181011.zip from TWRP

4. reboot

You can make /data available by formatting /data from TWRP, but you will loose all data. Remember a backup!

And, you will need to do this every boot!

I just directly boot to TWRP after flashing the ROM because before the first boot, /data still can mounted and you can directly copy to /sdcard from your computer.

anyway [MENTION=1078652]NielDK[/MENTION] I got bluetooth fc and not working on 221018 build. Bluetooth was worked on previous build and it still laggy :eek: but thank you so much for your effort to make Pie for dora, really appreciate it :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Stoffl_:
Thanks!

So after failing to compile because my VM ran out of disk space(guess 150Gb weren't enough lol) I enlarged the VDI Image and partition and the Dora F8132 PPR2.181005.003 build just completed successfully. Guess it really was an issue with your CPU or the build environment.

Seems to be an older version than the OPs F8131 build though ?

I'll start again from scratch since I'm not 100% sure if the failed attemp due to running out of disk space could've caused issues with the build.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NielDK:
OK Guys, I added F8132 to the project, feel free to test it
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] aravindg:
Thank you for the build. I tried it, the issues I found:

Storage size reduced to 32 GB from 64 GB. This apparently needs a config file fix prior to building: I can't post links yet, but searching for "Building AOSP 8.0 for 64GB F8132" should show the thread on Sony forums.

Unable to install GApps from opengapps. I tried pushing them via twrp. The install goes okay, but once I boot into Android, the apps just don't show up. I even tried formatting all of /data and then installing, that didn't help either.

I was able to see and use both SIM cards, so that part is great. I didn't get a chance to test bluetooth and the rest of it. Without GApps, I can't use the device effectively :(.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Stoffl_:
The F8132 only showing 32Gb internal storage issue can be fixed from TWRP.

Wipe \ Advanced \ and then resize /data partition
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] NielDK:
1. Try to wipe cache (and data), and also, I have best experience with GApps nano version.

2. Yes, its easily fixable, but since this can be adjusted in TWRP, I dont recompile - even though I could, I only have the single sim, 32GB device myself.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] aravindg:
I was able to resize /data and I now see the full 64GB. Thank you [MENTION=1078652]NielDK[/MENTION] and [MENTION=403772]Stoffl_[/MENTION] for the pointers to resizing it via TWRP.

I am still unable to get GApps to work. I tried wiping cache, internal storage, data (resized and formatted). For good measure I wiped cache before and after the GApp install too. The install log says stuff got installed okay, but I just don't see the apps after booting into Android.
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] grzegorz.u:
1. I also couldn't install gapps - any version.

2. Although, at the beginning, the sim cards looks to work, when I call somebody I cannot hear anything and I am also not heard. Have you tried to make a call?
[Sony Xperia X Performance ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] aravindg:
Sorry, I have/use data only sim cards, so I don't know if voice calling works.

On the installation flow

Hello, NielDK.

I personally find your instruction a bit confusing,

so let me get this in an old-fashion manner:

Download firmware zip;

Download oem_binaries zip

Unpack the dowloaded zip files;

Connect the phone in fastboot mode;

$ fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img

$ fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img

$ fastboot flash userdata /path/to/userdata.img

$ fastboot flash oem /path/to/oem.img

In case of being

stuck at Sony logo

your remedy is as follows:

Connect the phone in fastboot mode;

$ fastboot flash oem /path/to/oem.img

$ fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img

Please, correct me if I am wrong. ;)

With kind regards,

hn40cn.
