In most other ROMs, including stock, I will usually have two apps show up in Battery Manager saying that they are consuming high amounts of battery and then I have the option to restrict them. Havoc ROM always says that all apps are running normally.

Has anyone on Havoc ever had any apps show up as using high amounts of battery?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilal2ielli:
Hadn't tried this before, but was trying to cast to my Samsung Smart TV, using the quick settings cast button. Had to turn on enable wireless display to get my TV to show up, but when the phone tries to connect, I get a soft reboot and it won't connect.

I can connect via Wi-Fi Direct to my TV, but can't cast that way, but the only way to get to the cast settings is through the quick settings.

I don't have a Chromecast, but I've read that using the Android cast settings should work.

Anyone with any input? Has anyone tested casting to a Samsung TV directly and not through a Chromecast?

Anyone able to download the 5/11 build? Mine stops at 782.16 with incorrect md5.

I can cancelled upload and rebuilt bc new source was pushed when I was uploading. Ill remove until New build is up

Yes, at least once each month

Thanks boss ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] morrowa2:
I was in the middle of downloading 5-11 and it was pulled. Such a tease. Hope the display color settings are returned with the updated build
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Lead devs have informed me that display tuning will need to be done via live display and kernel. The menu will be removed from settings>display in next build
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
See post above :/
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
That doesn't sound good, kcal etc didn't help when custom ROMs were missing this a long time back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
thanks

will wait for May build
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
This is a problem as live display can only tune rgb and not all kernels have kcal. Currently no matter how you tune live display, if you're not in saturated color mode it will never be the same as saturated mode. If you're in saturated color mode it will never look like boosted or natural mode no matter how you tune it. This solution will only be viable if live display allows for tuning of saturation, value, and contrast.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Yeah I'm not holding my breath for those "solutions". I thought we were past this mess a long time ago. Don't want to switch from Havoc as nothing else has all of these features.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Anyone with custom kcal profile for exkm to mimic saturated mode? I tried couple values but it's just not the same as saturated mode
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] devanshu99:
Ohh no. Data wasted , saturated mode is not working in latest update , how to tune it from live display ? If anyone knows the value ll share , looking so fade display , how can we live with this display mode on pixel ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Br4no:
The same here.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tnhh00037:
Does it support Saturated Mode sir?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Juzman:
Nope, changing them does nothing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] libracez:
For me looks like as i did a dirty flash of the latest from the last with working saturated still I have saturated

But settings doesn't change nothing
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Which build are you on?

I mean the one with saturated mode working
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] libracez:
Havoc 2.5 08/05/2019 i cant change mode in settings..

But display in saturated coz I did a dirty flash from previous havoc 2.4 April
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tnhh00037:
Same here. I always do dirty flash so Saturated mode still work. Maybe anyone who want to have this mode have to flash April version or earlier and set it before flashing latest version
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I tried to flash the April build on top of may build and when i rebooted it might have rebooted to different slot because it just take me back to recovery and when i switch slots there is my may build

How do i flash April build ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tnhh00037:
It's a little complex. Maybe you need to flash April vendor to both slot, then flash April build, go to setting to change the Saturated Mode. After that, just do dirty flash with May build and May vendor.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] devanshu99:
Yeah I downloaded it 1 year before , I thought to give it a chance ., hope should not too much effect on battery .
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
What value are you using?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] devanshu99:
Choose accordingly , how much u prefer
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Just as an FYI to anyone, it appears to me that the values set through the Sa2uration app stay set even after the app is uninstalled. There is also no "restore to stock values" option. So remember where it's set initially before you change it, if not being able to go back to exactly default values is going to bother you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Any chance we can get dynamic navbar properties added to the smartbar? or even make the stock navbar dynamically change color? On the stock ROM I was using Navbar Apps to change the color, but it doesn't seem to play well with smartbar.

In which build did this colour saturation issue popup? I'm still on Havoc-OS-v2.4-20190414

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

it does for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Br4no:
This one
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] catharsis724:
I will note that I am using the Canadian PayTM app, which may not be the same as yours. MagiskHide should still work on it though...that's strange. Sometimes for MagiskHide, it helps opening up the MagiskHide list , then switch to the app you want to use. For example, sometimes Pokemon Go load fails but if I go to the MagiskHide list and then switch to the app, it will load.

Also, did you repackage your MagiskManager app? That's a must for new root-detection methods.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cjrivera04:
It's a magisk issue. Has been for a while.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Br4no:
Thank you, I'havent noticed that before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cjrivera04:
It used to bug the hell out of me. It comes and goes with each new version of Android and magisk. But it's definitely a magisk issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Yes i did

And even with magisk hide disabled paytm app behaves the same but with the root detected prompt

Only this rom has the problem for me which is weird

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tdot.loco:
Hey I have an older build with the saturation mode and it is bomb, even a bit punchier than adaptive amoled. Should I just atay with the older build? What has been 'fixed' or addressed since saturation was dropped?

Under My Sounds you can choose none

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Neejay:
I went back to the old build to get the battery percentage back, and I can now select custom ringtones in an app, but still can't select "none"

Edit: ugh, this makes Havoc a no-go for me, because the only sounds I want are phone call and text message. Unless someone can show me another way...?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
What app are you doing this from? This should be an app-specific problem.

Btw you can get battery percentage back in this build by going to battery settings and turning off battery estimate
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Neejay:
Tested it.

Let me test some more apps tomorrow, and I'll report back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
You need to either restart systemui or go to havoc settings>status bar change it to another battery style then change it back for the battery percentage to update.

Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone is still experiencing an issue trying to use Visual Voicemail? The tab is gone from the Phone app and the option doesn't show up under the voicemail settings. I'm using Verizon and I followed some other advice in this thread about trying to re-insert the SIM card, but that didn't seem to do anything.

I just updated from the early May (4th?) build to the May 16th build and retried the steps to no avail. I've also tried reverting to the factory default version of the Phone app. Whenever I get a voicemail I just seem to get a garbled text from Verizon. I can still access voicemail the normal way.

As far as I'm aware I haven't had visual voicemail at all since I installed the ROM after a clean wipe.

Has anyone found an alternate solution?
