[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It is possible to flash a firmware from a different device but they have to be of the same hardware chipset. For example, some models of US versions of Galaxy S3 can share each others firmware, but the S4 cannot use the S3 firmware.

But, generally speaking(95% of the time or more) flashing a firmware from a different device results in a hardbricked device. This is mostly due to differences in bootloader and modem. I have a Galaxy S3 SCH-S968C(Straight Talk) that can use the custom ROMs from the SCH-I535(Verizon) because they are virtually the same device BUT the SCH-S968C CANNOT flash the SCH-I535 stock firmware, it results in a hardbricked device, even though they are the exact same device.

There is no definitive answer to your question other than it is "possible" to use another firmware. But it is ALWAYS a special case scenario because you have to research the devices in question to see exactly how similar they are or are not.

There are cases of devices from one country being used in another country by flashing the firmware from the country the device is being used in, but it is not possible on ALL devices.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Riquelmista:
The problem started after running out of battery. I never touched the firmware before

The firmware is athene 7.0 NPJS25 93 14 18/3. The first thing i tried was installing another version of the rom but couldn't because the version installed wouldn't let me so i tried installing the same version following this thread

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

Everything went well, the phone was detected by fastboot and all files were transferred without errors but the same problem persist.

Reading found out another possibles solutions like trying differents BlankFlash but always getting the "waiting device" because the phone is detected by the pc like "fastboot athene" instead of qualcomm. Tried installing the qualcomms drivers in two differents pc but the phone keep showing ass fastboot athene.

Another solution was unlocking the oem and trying downgrade but this impossible without enabling oem unlock, which i can't do since i can't enter to the system and activate the option

Any other possible solution?

Anita Project [Difficulty Intermediate, ROOT]

I want to share my current project Anita System Assistant :D

For now it will replace bored right notification icons with much more informative left area notifications.

It also includes MinX Engine (My old work For LGK10 Optimized for Galaxy S 9), also it will maintain SELinux In Enforcing Mode and emulate Init.d scripts support.

I also included Chainfire LiveBoot fix( just if someone using it),

If not using this app remove liveboot script…

Installation :

Download the archive called Anita, it contains tasker project and required binaries…

Extract it to SdCard.

After importing Anita Project to Tasker launch Installation Task, setup your password and after that it will Install all binaries to /system/xbin and will setup all required variables.

Reboot, Enjoy ;)

Apps archive contains all required Tasker Plugins for Anita work…

Note:

Anita will not work until will detect that exist notification,

Meaning all Tasker and AutoNotification must work Correctly, if not nothing will work :silly:

I have never seen so many problems with an official rom like Pie for OP6.

Is it possible that the OP company is simply testing this rom for the new OP6t?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] -fluffy-:
what problems do u have

because i dont have any
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Pachenko_Gr:
I have no problems either, maybe perform a factory reset, this is highly recommended after major update and usually solves any possible problem...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] garj_preet:
I am facing many problems in Official Pie release:

1. Sometimes GPS location doesn't get updated.

2. Abrupt device restart

3. While connecting with bluetooth in Car, volume gets automatically decreased but phone shows that volume is full.

4. Loudspeaker volume is low as compared to Oneplus with Oreo.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
You guys don't understand. I am not and will not use the Pie, because Oreo kinda works already, and I am not the kinda guy who fixes things that aren't broken.

However, I have been following the official OP6 forum on their website, and the volume of new threads and complaints about broken things has increased 10-fold since the release of stable Pie. I've never seen anything like that in any smartphone forum on any site.

I think that since the release of Pie stable, the number of new complaining threads is easily in multiple hundreds if not thousands.

Hence my idea about them releasing it early to fix bugs for OP6t release.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] boanhdaytien2:
okay, than how do you think apple release 11 beta version before dropping stable but there are still some bugs. On the other hand, oneplus only released 4 dp before stable came out, obviously there's always missing, but at least you can rollback to oreo if you want
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] quimbexa:
Do a full wipe and flash the OTA file. Then report back.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nirogu325:
Hmm? Are you new to operating systems in general? Every time a major update hits (every year), bugs are bound to happen and it's why updates/bugfixes exist. Either do what you were already suggested (factory reset) or wait a while. The 6T has nothing to do with major updates having some wrinkles from the get-go and people generally not doing a factory reset every time a major update comes while expecting long term stability.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
I said that I did not use Pie, nor was I planning on using it. Therefore, there's no need to factory reset.

I also said that I've never seen such an unprecedented volume of complaints after an OS release or update - hundreds of new threads, thousands of people complaining.

No, I'm not new to android, just look at my stats.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nirogu325:
My point about operating systems in general still stands. You will always read about people having issues but you'll barely read about users not having any issues. I am a stable OOS 9.0 user without issues. I did my homework by backing up just so I could start that new OS fresh and couldn't be happier. I have seen hundreds of complaints about new OS updates before, just take a look at Windows 10 build 1809 and that's just one example of many that supports my point of new major updates in general. In the end, it boils down to your choice of staying where you are, backing up to start fresh like I and many others did or just wait in the bench for several months until the dust settles.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
What you say is certainly true, but here's more facts to consider, so maybe you can see my point better.

Last time, when OP updated to Oreo, it took them about 3 months from when Google released it.

This time, it was about 6 weeks. I think that's a clear indication that the OS was rushed this time around. The reason, imo, is in my original post.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] b.huss2:
How, or better yet why would you come here to complain about something you haven't even tried? I've run every OOS version since launch. Many of those complaints are maybe legit, but just as many if not more are most likely user induced. I personally have seen very few major issues even on the beta versions, and I haven't experienced any of the things you listed.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
My frIend, I'm not complaining, I'm discussing.

Also, it's true that a lot of complaints are user error. However, I was commenting on the overall volume and rate of complaints. As the overall rate increased 10-fold, so did the rate of legitimate complaints. Makes sense?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nirogu325:
Again, the decision is yours. No company can please everyone. Some want faster updates while some want more stable releases. If this was indeed "rushed" I would have experienced instability even after clean flashing, same with other users. I don't know if you are deliberately omitting the fact that there were Pie Preview betas long before the official release for both OOS and HydrogenOS. I'm sorry but I can't give much weight to your point because my experience differs greatly from what you're stating and because you are yet to give the OS a chance. I suggest you give it a chance. I repeat, the decision is yours and my statement is based on my own experience.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] b.huss2:
I get what you're saying. I don't frequent the OnePlus forums; you get a lot of people there that don't have a clue.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Maybe you should visit the OP6 official forums, see for yourself.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nirogu325:
What I am seeing for myself is my experience with the official stable release which has been great and not basing my complaints solely other people's feedback. That is called forming my own opinion. People that clean flashed like me encouraged you to give the OS a chance yet you insist on pointing to others. What was the point of this thread again? :confused:

I don't want pie either, had it went back to Oreo. Phone keeps bugging me to update, tired of being pestered. Haven't found a way to stop the update messages.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
Official Pie is smooth, fast, and bug-free. OnePlus forums are full of morons. Very few "pie bug" threads on xda, that tells you all you need to know about how "buggy" pie is.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] notanoob:
So you can have your opinion but others cannot ? Regardless what OP states in his post any software is bound to have error,bugs, improvement points . just because you are content with using the phone with said issues if any does not mean it does not have any issues or that every one should be content with using the OS as is.

XDA is a place to develop , improve and to an extent troubleshoot . I agree what OP states in his statement is broad and should have listed in his first which he later did . Its better to respond to those issues , if you can fix them or have a work around but do not discourage anyone from expressing their views.

As you said every one forms their options based on there usage , let him state his views :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nirogu325:
*yawn* Thanks for basically repeating what I said about operating systems. Several users encouraged him to form his own opinion by trying it out after a clean flash. He has three choices which I pointed out earlier. All three choices are good for him so please spare me the sermon.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] notanoob:
I would suggest read about changes PIE brings to Android on the whole , some of the errors (GPS, Bluetooth volume) might be due to the changes in pie

as for abrupt restart see if you can get logs and post them in oneplus bug tracker for dev review . Loudspeaker on op6 has always been mediocre so not sure if how loud it used to been oreo , There still mediocre :)

Simply go to update settings and disable automatically download on WiFi. I think that's what stopped the notifications for me.

Interesting. I'm running bone stock 5.1.11, so maybe that's why it worked for me.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Umbardacil:
Hi guys

I see that there is hot discussion here about Pie on Oneplus 6, and now I'm scared to ask about my problem :( but I'll do it anyway ;)

After uprading to Pie the overall Bluetooth audio quality got a lot worse, even with the same Viper4Android profile the sound is flattened and I barely can hear any bass. I'm using car bluetooth dongle and wireless headphones - both sound bad :( On the Oreo - on the other hand - the V4A profile, which I've found somewhere here on XDA forum sound great!

Are you sure, that factory reset could help here? That's the last thing I wanna do - but sound quality is really important for me, and I'll do literally anything to get good quality back, even rollback to Oreo is admissible.

Maybe they've messed something up with bluetooth drivers or something...

Please advice

Cheers

Lucas
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Before you do a factory reset, trying deleting cache from the bluetooth app, maybe? Not sure how cache works now in Pie, but the standard procedure used to be:

1) Clear user app cache from Settings/Storage (now probably Settings/Apps, since Pie doesn't have that, and you have clear individual app cache.)

2) Clear system app cache from recovery.

3) Do a Safe Boot - probably won't work for Bluetooth problems, but who knows.

4) Contact OP through an official complaint on their website under Support (not forums.) They start a support ticket and cannot close it until issue is resolved or you lose touch. They will probably ask to reset network settings, which never really does any good. But you could try that before a factory reset.

Good luck!

This way you can enable the Camera2 API and install your favourite modded gcam,

without having to keep yout phone rooted.

(based on this guide by [MENTION=5120185]flex1911[/MENTION] )

Advantages:

this mod doesn't touch yout system partition: you can install OTAs without doing anything

this mod doesn't requires a modified boot partition: you can keep your bootloader locked

the Camera2 API will still be enabled after OTAs

Disadvantages:

it still needs a temporary root access

if you are not careful with the temporary unlock procedure, all your data will be lost

Steps:

install adb and fastboot. ( On windows follow this link https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 )

download and extract the patched_boot.img from https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952

enable the developer menu on your phone (launch settings, go to system->"about phone" and press repeately on build number)

from the developer options ( launch settings, go to system->"about phone"->developer options ) enable adb and allow bootloader unlock

connect the phone to your PC and give adb permissions to your PC.

turn off the phone

reboot by pressing power + vol down. Keep the vol down button pressed*

on a admin terminal run:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot boot patched_boot.img

(on Windows fastboot boot C:\path\to\patched_boot.img and of course replace the path)

release the vol down button only after the phone starts to reboot

on the phone, download and install magisk manager from its official website. (You don't need to install Magisk, you just need the app "Magisk Manager" installed)

on your PC run in a terminal:

adb shell

su

setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1

setprop persist.camera.eis.enabled 1

turn off the phone

reboot by pressing power + vol down. Keep the vol down button pressed*

on a admin terminal run

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot

release the vol down button only after the phone starts to reboot

install gcam: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash.apk

In order to fix the front camera, open the gcam settings and enable camera.enable_hwhdr from "Developer Settings".

*= If you accidentally release the vol down button, a factory reset will be performed: the whole data partition will be erased and you will loose all your data. In this case youl'll have to go back to the 3rd step.

If you successfully booted into the patched_boot.img and installed magisk, su should work.
