Wi-Fi and Phone Doesnot work

I flashed oos vendor but wi-fi and everything else doesnot working. I followed step-by-step instalation guide but nothing happned

Did you mounted Vendor? Certainly not... Please check. I also forgot first time.

What's that kernel? Never heard about it?:confused:

This one.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Yeah thanks. I just found it myself too.:D I searched on joes post history and saw he was active in 6T threads. So I had a look into 6T threads and found it.

Hmm... Could we flash the kernel on OP6 too? Can't find something about "unified".
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Carlosmff:
Yes, it is Unified.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ash219:
when should i flash the kernal ??

after flashing the pixel rom or before with the OB13 ??

I'M on OP6 !!

i flashed the kernal after flashing the pixel rom and pick up double tab new notifications doesn't work !!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Carlosmff:
Yes, pick up to check phone does not work.

Install Magisk 18.1 and EX Kernel Manager and see if DT2W works.

I never install a Custom Kernel, so I never get this working.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lilacx:
Have not finished?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
1. You need to flash the kernel after pixel rom.

2. I installed ex kernel manager and activated the double tap option. It's deactivated by default.

I hope it's not too late. Wasn't active here on OP6 threads while my OP6 is broken.:D
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] El_Saam:
Wow! Something different than Pixel Experience that has always felt, empty i guess? Would flash but auto rotation is important for me and can't live without it. Will look back again if it ever gets fixed.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Sorry guys for lack of April update. Currently OB15 is so unstable that I'm not going to use it as the base and I'll just wait for OB16. Not only I have to use EDL every time I flash anything. My partitions and bootloader break and the only solution is EDL. Couple of my friends reported similar behaviour with OB15.

Also in the meantime I tried getting Win10 to work and Linux. And.. Linux is kinda difficult to get it to work cause we have A/B. And Windows well.. no idea anymore. I tried modding bootloader and other stuff but there are some safety things that won't let us use modded bootloader.

And I'm also hoping to get Pixel Q to work but sadly there's something wrong with our vendor and it won't boot.

And huge thanks to [MENTION=5250984]bisebi[/MENTION] for helping me with testing all Win10 things. I guess now our only hope for Win10 is NTAuthority.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] HumerousGorgon:
Take your time. Looking forward to Q whenever it may be :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] simplyanin:
Is this better than the Pixel Experience ROM?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CYB3R0ID694:
Looks like we need to Base it on Stable Update...

I'm going from OB to Stable Update because I want to try new ROM because many people's reported that Stable channel is best for any ROM as Beta is not much stable..
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Fatmonk8:
Does it matter what open beta you are on as long as it is a minimum OB5 (for 6t)? or can it be on OB7?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Great news guys! I managed to boot Pixel Q Beta 2 on OnePlus 6! Sadly it's very buggy because I had to use a vendor from a different device, but I'll try to fix as many bugs as possible. I'll try to post some screens soon!

Edit: Here are the pics, the pics are from Google's Official Q GSI Beta as it's more stable on OP6 for now, so I'm trying to fix bugs on it and then switch to Pixel base and finish the rest etc. I also forgot to add Pixel overlays in the pics, sorry!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Update: I've tried fixing bugs in my custom vendor but it didn't do much, so I decided to switch to OB16 vendor and mod it until it would boot. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand guess what! It booted! :D

So hopefully today I'll upload Pixel Q Beta with most of the hardware working I think. Bug list should be similar to the one that we have in P3XL Pie port.

And here it is guys! Pixel Q Beta 2! Before You flash please read this.

It's just a test build so expect bugs and report them except for those that are listed below as they're normal bugs that exist in Google GSI too because of their changes and incompatibility with non Q vndks/HALs, etc whatever..

Those are Q bugs without Q vendor/kernel. So report all other bugs that aren't on this list.

And keep in mind that Q is compatible with new libs and running it on Pie libs will be kinda messy. It will get a lot better once Q is stable and once we get Q vendor from OnePlus.

Another thing is that OnePlus vendor isn't compatible with Q (unlike some other devices, not sure why) but I managed to somehow fix that.

I tested these:

Q GSI from Google.

Q GSI GMS from Google.

Pixel Q (default)

All of these work so have fun.

Guide:

For OP6 users, just run the flasher in fastboot mode (IT WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE) it's needed for Q.

And then restore Pixel Q Backup in TWRP, reboot and enjoy.

For OP6T users, do everything just like OP6 except that when You restore, uncheck vendor restore (keep only system + boot) and then mount vendor and flash my patcher.

Download:

Pixel Q for OnePlus6 and 6T

Open Beta 16 recommended for base!

Enjoy guys! Took me some time to figure out everything so I hope You will like it. Once Google fixes some of these bugs or when we get Q vendor, we should have pretty stable daily driver.

Also I'd like to Thank Guzram for motivating me to work on some of these ports and general help when I'm out of ideas :o

And everyone in my group for believing in me and support :o

Nice work! :D
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] k$kendsup:
THE GOD..!! Great and awesome work
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] jopomopo:
It was quite promising as long as it last .

Just a few observations:

wireless not working password saved connection not established, data working, sms also

w/o wireless not able to finish google setup

fingerprint not working? -> not really sure not able to set pin/lock screen code

chrome -> not able to give storage permissions so cannot download anything

tones cannot be changed or at least almost all of them

reboots frequently/randomly and takes a long long time to start if starts

and now it does not start at all, not able to boot to recovery

Cheers

Better wait for something better. BUGS FOR Q VERSION!

Not working:

-Protected wifi (open networks work normaly)

-screen rotation

-few devices with bluetoth can't connect

-slider

-wird vibration when typing (like two on the same time with latency)

-few apps dont work ( problably Q issue)

-little laggy

-missing option to add premission to files for apps(you can't download via browsers etc.)

I dont know what with camera, after install we dont have any app for camera and can't download.

How's the battery life compared to stable OOS?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Pojiku:
Just make sure you have Fastboot installed and follow the Linux instructions.

Cool! I'll give it a try tonight. Cheers.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] k$kendsup:
I am facing huge drain with AOD on...with AOD off I am testing battery and will report it tonight
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] meiax93:
Mate, AOD will drink and eat your battery juice and that why OnePlus remove it from OOS at the first time before OnePlus 6 launched. But, they can make optional, mean user can decide themselves rather use Lift up or Always on.

AOd kinda cool but, it eat and drink a lot juice. ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] k$kendsup:
I have tested the whole day...even with AOD off, it's decimating the battery...any suggestions to flash custom kernel with proper settings and values will be appreciated
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Sooo.. Today OP released Q. Lots of people are disappointed with it but.. thanks to power of porting now we can enjoy a fully working Pixel 3XL Q. It might be even more stable than Q that OP released.

Check screenshot below, also.. Q now has INSANE amount of security.. so I'm worried for the future of porting. But we will see.

And huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge thanks to OnePlus for fixing literally all bugs that I complained about :laugh:.

Now we can enjoy a fully working / as stable as OOS Pixel 3XL fw. Why? Because they fixed brightness, auto rotation and Night filter. So yeah.. THANK YOU ONEPLUS FOR BEING SUCH AN AMAZING COMPANY! :D

I'll just fix some tiny bugs now and in couple of hours the proper high quality Q should be out!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] El_Saam:
Bet this will get you more downloads now. Will install it too.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Aaaand here it is! Pixel 3XL Q Beta 3. So.. it took me a lot of time and effort to port it, Google introduced couple of new things and they make porting more difficult. I think this build is pretty stable and most likely will be a good daily driver for many people.

Check screens below!

This build has night filter, auto rotation and other stuff working fine! Thanks to OnePlus!

This build includes ALL latest Q features, including 3 new navigation bar / gestures options and lots of other stuff.

Changelog:

Security Patch: 2019-05-05

Got rid of all Google's security.

Fixed tons of stuff.

Fixed reboot bootloop ( Huge thanks to Erfanoabdi for the fix!)

Notch has been fully fixed, including notch hiding (Dev options) and landscape notch hiding for games!

Known bugs:

Alert Slider.

AOD causes screen to flicker after unlocking the screen (most likely kernel issue, can be fixed by quickly locking and unlocking the screen).

FP Scanner ( OOS Q vendor issue)

Everything else should work fine.

Flashing:

Flash OOS Q Beta zip in TWRP.

Flash BluSpark TWRP zip.

Reboot TWRP.

Restore Pixel 3XL Q Beta 3 Backup in TWRP.

Boot to Fastboot.

Run my Flasher to disable vbmeta.

Done!

Note: TWRP is already built into the Backup and it's modded for Q. So After restoring the backup You will have TWRP. So no need to flash it separatly.

6T users, restore everything except for vendor and then flash 6T fixes.

what a work! Thanks for porting!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] etaPlease:
so nice

i hope dark mode is working too

is it prerooted? any extra step to flash magisk?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Yes! Dark Mode is working fine. And it's 100% AMOLED Black.

And rooting is as easy as any other rom. Just flash Magisk in TWRP after first OS boot and done!

SafetyNet is passing with Magisk 19.1 too. Both cts and basicIntegrity
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] etaPlease:
is flashing a custom kernel like smurf a good idea or should i stay stock for now?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
If there's Smurf kernel for Q then go ahead lol. But I don't think there is one yet.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dgattupalli:
I flashed Q beta through local upgrade and am run oos q beta...can i skip to step 2 and flash twrp ...or should i flash q beta again in twrp before restoring ?

Thank You for porting the rom so quickly ... oos q beta had nothing was mostly boring with no new exciting features but has a lot of bugs ... was planning on going back to pie....
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Yeah.. You have to go back to Pie first. It's because TWRP can't boot on Q and can only boot with Q zImage etc.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TheMellowOne:
Great job dev! Im just wondering if you have time/will make an last stable pixel port on pie?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
I don't think it's worth it. Latest security patch doesn't change anything visually and Pie has more bugs than Q. I left last Pie port on GDrive just in case if someone needs it for something.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TheMellowOne:
Alright thanks for the reply :good:

Is the custom android Q rom daily driver material?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Gerriitw:
Alert slider, aod, and finger print scanner dont work on the latest build. And the finger print sensor is broken because of the Q vendor from the oneplus 6. So you could use it aa daily driver with some options not working
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] slytidar:
Yeah it is

I just wanted to know about stability and battery wise

I don't mind not having finger print sensor yet

New on here, so I got a noon question... How do I get your flasher to disabled vbmeta? I've never flashed this ROM before
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dgattupalli:
the pixel 3 port zip contains flasher.bat for windows and flasher.sh for linux which you can run to disable vbmeta ....
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] John.C01:
what do we do about the camera? I tried a few gcam ports and they don't work,the official gcam also doesn't work.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dgattupalli:
try open camera from play store... its working ...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] yashpatel99:
Will we get updates for stable pie or not ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dgattupalli:
Bugs Observed :

Bluetooth Earphones(Bullets) connecting but audio is still coming from phone

Launcher behaves sligthly wierdly sometimes while opening app drawer,nova launcher also not working properly everytime

Screen lock options not available thereby have to disable setup wizard since we cannot completed without setting up screen lock options

wifi speed seems slow but cannot confirm this is a bug or issue with my net

all pixel features expected are working ...

overall way better than oos Q but still not a daily driver for me
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Latest OOS Cam seems to work fine on it and try GCam from my MIUI Thread.

WiFi speed is only on Your side I guess. My apps download instantly just like OOS (even the 60mb+ ones) so here it's fine. Launcher might be a beta bug too.

Bluetooth seems like some weird vendor bug too cause logcat doesn't complain about it so we have to wait for second beta from OP and most of these if not all should be fixed.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] El_Saam:
So the FP Scanner is broken for both T and non T now?

Hi to you all guys.

I have a query.

I wanna flash this rom tomorrow because I have few time to play with. So, I have read the OP news that newer build is on the way. Reading the flashing steps, I noticed that I should restore a backup! But I am running OOS latest versions and I have not any backups of pixel 3xl q beta 3.

Also, to desable the vendor I should flash a fix or other file that I can't find. Right now.

May someone could please write a simple guide to flash this rom, as simple as a noob?

Thanks in advance for your time and reply!

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] meiax93:

But no access to USB storage (cannot connect PC and Phone via cable)

No method of security ( only swipe)

I'm currently on a custom rom (may security) if i flash this rom will it Scramble my data (and force me to use msmtool) or will it work?

i found that with some pixel based roms (treks/omni) I'm often forced to use msmtool then start over by flashing latest oos on both slots before being able to use tresk/omni.

is it the same case with this?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spoeckes:
Run my flasher to disable vbmeta and flash 6T kernel.

Where can i find the Kernel?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
It's inside the zip.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spoeckes:
now ROM runs great but i am not able to flash twrp. (fajita, ot6t)

it has gone after flashing fixes and kernel

if i try to fastboot boot twrp it stuck on fastboot mode screen
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Boot img = kernel

Kernel =boot.img

If u flash another kernel you don't have too/twrp any more and have to repatch
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Alpha_wolf:
i think the issue is if we run fastbbot boot twrp.img

it hangs at the fastboot mode screen and doesnt boot twrp
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spoeckes:
that is what I meant
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Cuz u need to run fastboot flash boot boot.img then select reboot recovery from bootloader menu

Then u will have to format cuz the forced encryption..then u can install fixes zip
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Alpha_wolf:
no no no ok let me put it like this

i flash oos beta Q

i flash bluspark twrp

i restore image

i mount vendor and flash fix

i reinstall blu spark twrp through installer zip in twrp just incase

i reboot fastboot run the flasher that flashes the boot.img and wipes vbmeta

reboot fastboot

i run fastboot boot twrp.img

and it hangs .

also i did just try what you said and iot appears the same has happened. so idk if im just being mental or what at this point lol but ya
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Did u flash oos Q beforehand? Works for me but I can not use any version of Q but the OnePlus garbage due to no audio
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Alpha_wolf:
yes i did
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ashokmor007:
(fastboot flash boot boot.img) in this case boot.img u talking about recovery.img or the boot.img
