Getting an OTA earlier

I hope you have a good reason why you need this OTA earlier than most other users. If not, why not just wait, rather than posting a chain of messages that don't help anybody else?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
Free up space...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Use app systemizer module
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gooner_anirudh:
People wanting to free up the system partition space can follow the simple steps that I always use after updating.

First, download the app called System App Remover - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp

Second, disable the system app that you want to remove. (I usually disable Duo, YouTube, Google Play Music, etc and then install them again as user apps through the Play Store)

Finally, go to the System App Remover app and uninstall the apps that you want gone. Reboot for the effects to take place.

Note: it only works if you disable the apps first.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
This is only for rooted users not for everyone!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
That's why a lot of people want to have root access. Without root no freedom.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gege0202:
works but after reboot, system don't boot. i must re-install maj 9.0.17
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gooner_anirudh:
Weird as I did not have the same issue. Did you disable the app first from your settings?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChromaX83:
Audio tuner when using Bluetooth audio for me is not working anymore after updating. Do more people experience this issue?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gege0202:
yes i do. before 9.0.17 it works perfect but now not
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] goferos:
Same here, need to reflash latest build to boot successfully. And I did disable app.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cablespider:
Upgraded to 9.0.17 without a hitch. I didn't remove magisk, mods or pin. Dirty flashed, installed twrp, reboot to recovery and flashed magisk. Boot was clean. No surprise as this has always worked for me.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mervingio:
I think something is broke same happen to me OB17 no more issue
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
That's the exact way I've always updated too..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FullWipe:
Don't you even disable/uninstall Magisk modules and substratum themes?

If i don't disable them, i always run into bootloop :(
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Duvel999:
I always uninstall the Xxx rom, Substratum, Magisk.

Then I follow the normal Twrp update.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
I have no issues with the audio effects. Seemed fine on my headset. Apt-X kicked as well.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fishawy:
Same here, trying to remove system apps even after disabling them results in stuck boot then bootloader. Never happened with previous beta/stable builds.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
Yes..disable modules and yes definitely uninstall themes. Restart phone...

Then begin the process..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] replica9000:
I haven't had to disable modules or themes, no issues upgrading.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
It makes sense that it works since it's upgrading the system and all of our mods our systemless...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Domnisto:
Same here. Gets stuck in bootloader when I disable and uninstall system apps like play movies and play music.

Any solution for this?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] btb55:
Regarding modules upsetting the flashing process, in my case the only one I've had a problem with is the OOS call record module. If I keep that enabled it causes a boot loop, disable and remove it then reinstall afterwards is the way if you have this module.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ffejy462:
Deleted system apps via TWRP with no issues. However, Tibu and root explorer both failed to properly remove system apps .
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fishawy:
I tried something and it worked. Disable them, then use Solid Explorer to navigate to /system/apps, and go inside the folder of the app you want to remove, then delete the apk and reboot.

Both Titanium Backup and System App Remover didn't work, but this did.

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

How do you do this via TWRP?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ffejy462:
Mount system. Using TWRP's built in file manager, just navigate to the folder of the app and delete.

Which Google Dialer "Phone" apk is recommended with this rom and Omega kernel? Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lendawg:
Not sure if it's necessarily recommended but I run Omega with xxx and use the Google dialer mod that takes out the stock dialer. Works really well.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gege0202:
i do it, i delete chrome, in system app, i reboot and chrome is still here! :(
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] replica9000:
Has Chrome been removed from /data/app as well? (in case it was updated)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ffejy462:
If it updated, then its remnants are in the data partition. If that's the case, you can just uninstall it normally (or manually delete it from data).
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gege0202:
thanks, i uninstall it normaly.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] sbmd:
I'd like to use this but not use all of xxx.

Just dirty flashed flashed 9.0.17 over 9.0.16 in twrp without uninstalling magisk or removing any modules. Flashed twrp installer, rebooted to twrp, flashed magisk, rebooted to system and updated phone works like it did before.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nadhif.nrfsw:
On 9.0.17 with magisk 19.3 make your phone can't charge with phone off. Work normally with magisk 19.4
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
Thanks for the heads up, I just noticed this too after I updated. I gotta go grab 19.4 magisk now
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
I can confirm that 19.4 does fix the power off charging issue.. Also thanks for the heads up..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
I ran into something strange. This fixed one device but, on another device it did not work. I even did it twice. No luck. These are both identical 6t's running same everything wtf, lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] F5:ed:
Yes, I even forgott to disable Swift Installer and PIN (those has been an issue for me on earlier system updates), for the first time ever I encountered zero problem when updating. Great!

But, I'm ALWAYS, ALWAYS make a backup before (to my USB-stick), so I can restore in case it ****s up.... That precausion have saved me several times.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
Try flashing the magisk 19.3 uninstaller and Flash 19.4 again..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] F5:ed:
I have extracted the boot.img for OOS 9.0.17, in case you need it: https://www.sendspace.com/file/ltxcpg
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
Thank you?.. I forgot to backup before flashing Omega..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
This didn't work when I tried earlier.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

*Edit I just fixed it. I reflashed the 9.0.17 then 19.4 majisk and, problem solved. I don't know if this will help everyone but, It just fixed a issue that I didn't have on a duplicate device. Thank you everyone for your help and, assistance.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] F5:ed:

Finally got it on Frankfurt VPN.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] J_Force:
got a weird issue with the Magisk method. I did step 1, 2 and 3:

1. Magisk Manager > Tap "Uninstall" > Tap "Restore Images" (DO NOT REBOOT)

2. Now Run the System update to download and install the full OTA zip (DO NOT REBOOT)

3. Close all background apps

4. Open Magisk > Tap "Install" > Tap "install" again > Tap "Install to Inactive/Second Slot (After OTA)"

But when in Magisk there is no "install" only "uninstall". Even after uninstalling 3 times there is only "uninstall" visible. Now what do I do?

---

found it! I turned off wifi so the device would not download the OTA update so I could update local. After turning wifi back on I can install
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Installed 9.0.17, still August security patch level. Why not September?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] onliner:
Android 10 has September.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] p51d007:
It's always a month behind. No big deal. Considering the lag on 99% of the manufacturers, I'm good with just being a month off on security patches. Heck, my last phone went over 6 months between a patch, and NEVER got Android 9.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
You could turn off 'Auto-download over Wi-Fi' to prevent that from happening again.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Exactly. One month. This is two months behind. We had August patch level in September already. It's October now, that's why I was expecting September patch level.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
Dude, it's the second day of October. Have at least some patience. Besides, we're all aware that Android 10 is about to release once they settle their QA issues. A major version upgrade always causes necessary delays. I prefer waiting a little longer opposed to situations like "eh.. why isn't the dialer responding when someone is calling me?" or "Is the back of my phone supposed to melt off while I'm playing PUBG?".
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] buttsak:
So I did the update this morning with no problems like always. I did the twrp way like I always do but I just noticed I can't send MMS anymore. I'm rooted and on straight talk. I went to check my apn and for some reason it changed. Tried to put the correct apn in and it won't save and the one that's set up is all grayed out so I can't change anything. Anyone know of a fix for this?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pendragon666:
This thing with a full system partition and titanium backup's inabillity to delet the bloat is pissing me off.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigLisy:
You can delete the system apps apk from the twrp file manager itself. it's the only way that works right now.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mervingio:
Where is the folder?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] feezler:
Has anyone dirty flashed .17 over .16 on a TMobile converted? I'm rooted atm
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
I did. No problems
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Patience has nothing to do with what I wrote. I was replying to somebody stating "it's always one month behind", clarifying that in this case we are two months behind. That's it.

As far as patience is concerned, though, if you look at my previous message I clarified that I am in no hurry to get Android 10 and that I'm more worried about receiving security patches on a timely basis, while waiting for 10. So far my worries were justified. Then again, you might be among the ones that prefer features to security. I prioritize security. To each his own, no big deal. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
But you said "expecting"...

expect [ ik-spekt ]

to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of:

to anticipate the birth of (one's child)

So unless you're (or your wife's) pregnant – in which case, congratulations! – that does sound a little impatient. But let's agree to disagree on that so we can avoid further argument.

Don't get me wrong, I do prefer security over features (mostly, not always) but [MENTION=647747]p51d007[/MENTION] made an excellent point in saying "Considering the lag on 99% of the manufacturers, I'm good with just being a month off on security patches.".
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gorman42:
Man... :laugh: I hope you are taking this as a game. But yeah, you are right I "regarded as likely to happen" to receive the security patch of September in October. Because while 051d007 might have made an excellent point, the fact remains that we are two months behind and not one. The sorry state of Android updates across other brands should not function as an excuse for OnePlus. Which is chosen often because of timely updates considerations.

But yeah, let's agree to disagree. All good. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephr0x0rs:
Where is the setting for that? Apparently my phone decided to download the update without me telling it to, luckily I have "install update on reboot" disabled in the developer options, but I'd rather it not go downloading the update all on its own.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chad The Pathfinder:
"Settings/system/system updates" then the gear on the top right corner.

guys i'm stuck on default recovery after i tried to update to 9.0.17. I have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP before but i was on official OOS now i don't know how to boot it up. The only options i get is Wipe data and format and exit power down. How do i open TWRP recovery? do i need to do full format?

edit: i don't understand i tried to reboot multiple times, but once i plugged usb to my PC it booted normally on it's own and said system update failed. Should i install TWRP again and do a full format? i want to update it to android 10 once it's available
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] zakkyzombie:
You need to fastboot twrp back. After any time you flash a rom flash you always flash twrp afterwards to avoid this.

ROM+twrp

Reboot to recovery

Flash magisk (and gapps if aosp)

You won't boot without following that procedure. When you flash a room it flashes to the opposite slot. You reboot to recovery to verify twrp is still there and to swap slots. When you flash a non rom zip, it will flash to the current slot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mervingio:
Not sure if matters but I do with 9.0.17 and OB17 and Vice versa no single issue
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] replica9000:
My phone just informed me today of the update. Wonder why it takes so long since the updates aren't carrier specific (except t.mo users).
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jank4AU:
So how many people in this thread have fallen victim to Android exploits directly as a result of late security updates? Should this be a poll?... because I'm fairly certain it's about zero.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] tet-bundy:
I won't disagree with you. Yet how would i know?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] skyknife93:
Well, I don't want to sound rude or disrespectful, I swear, but my answer will sound like that so here goes.

You'd either have to be really stupid/naive or be doing some really shady stuff to actually fall victim. That or have the worst luck possible. But apart from that, yeah. Zero.

Root/System/app

Is anyone having issues with adaway not blocking ads after applying the hosts file? Never saw ads before on apps like imgur and yoweather, now i

i cant block them. This only happened once I updated to .17
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
Blocking ads without additional software

This may be a better way. Try it, you may like it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pendragon666:
Thanks, but I dont see how giving my data to a 3rd party will help my privacy.

I fixed my situation by reflashing the rom from TWRP, deleting the apk for chrome from the system partition, and then applying adaway as usual. On my first go I didnt make enough room on the system partition but tried changing the location of the hosts file in adaway. It did not work, ads were still shown. So I basically just deleted chrome and switched the location back. I guess something got messed up and it still refused to block. There, hope someone finds this useful
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
Blocking ads without additional software

You are always giving your internet connections data to the DNS server you use, and you probably even send it unencrypted across the internet.

Which DNS server is it? Why do you think it is more trustworthy than Adguard?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TENlll423:
This is what I use now.

I put "dns.adguard.com"

In the Private DNS

In our Wi-Fi & internet

Settings.

I haven't used adaway

Since then..I myself haven't had any issues with ads not saying it's a perfect fix but I find it very helpful.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pendragon666:
I use pihole, no data leaves my network unaccounted for.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
Blocking ads without additional software

Except to pi-hole's DNS server. Isn't that just the same as Adguard? You have to trust pi-hole.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pendragon666:
Pi hole is a local bloclist based solution. Nothing goes out
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
Blocking ads without additional software

Then the question comes up again, which DNS server do you use? Or which DNS server does pi-hole use?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pendragon666:
Oh, I misunderstood. I use cloudflare, they also brag about privacy. As long as google doesnt get all my data I am happy.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
Blocking ads without additional software

Many users are not aware that DNS gives away all their connection metadata.

That said, one of the easiest ways to block ads without having to install any software is to use Adguard. This is particularly easy in Android 9 and hopefully later versions as well, because you only have to do this:

Settings

Wi-Fi & Internet

Private DNS

Private DNS provider hostname

dns.adguard.com

This uses encrypted DNS and quietly refuses to resolve known advertising addresses.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] tet-bundy:
How is their server distribution?

I don't care personally because i use my VPN provider's DNS but interested anyway..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
Blocking ads without additional software

I don't know offhand, but you can probably find out. What I can say is that I use Adguard in my entire home network, set in the router, and I cannot remember any problem with this.

I'm not sure how trustworthy VPN providers are. They could collect your DNS metadata and sell it.

Of course we now have the open question who is more trustworthy, the VPN provider or Adguard.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] zakkyzombie:
I'm also willing to bet if you're on XDA you're probably smart enough to not to fall victim. Most people here know enough not to make risky clicks.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] skyknife93:
This.

I was gonna say this but I stopped, having remembered, certain ummm, encounters with *some people* who managed to stumble into here. I know everyone's welcome here, and maybe I'm judging too early, but sadly nothing's fool-proof.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] StaticGTF:
I think this version was first released in one of the early weeks of September. I forget the exact time...

Reason you get this update now however is a mystery... But I think this is why it is still on the August security patch.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] F5:ed:
Have you tested Energized Protection https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-energized-protection-one-t3806865 ?

I left Adaway for 5-6 months, and have never looked back.

On my device EP is a perfect adblocker. Makes it running fast, blocks every ad, so far no problem to open any website or app. I use the lightest pack "Spark" :good:

How can I uninstall system apps AFTER latest update??? (my device is rooted and TWRP)

I tried disabling them and uninstalling with system app remover but after reboot the phone goes on bootloop.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nosferatu.:
I'm going to give this a try out of curiosity. :good:

I've used Blokada for a while on my unrooted devices. Seemless blocking of all ads and uses EP. :cool:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pendragon666:
I get that, but in my experience, Adaway had zero issues since i started using it centuries ago and I will continue to do so unless something better comes along. Using terminal commands to add whitelists is not my idea of a user friendly app.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] F5:ed:
Personally, I don't install adblockers to create whitelists....

I want all Ads Away, not Some AdAway.

In those rare examples I would like to whitelists an app, I still can do so. And that's not unfriendly to do.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vortell:
ROFL, what adaway works on all ads... You just need the right lists. There is also dns server keawon if I spelled it right. It's listed here on xda. Either way this is way off topic.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
It's keweon and I guess we're just making chit chat until the Q release. Or 10 release. Which would make that the X release, skipping 8 release versions :D

So. Let's get back on track. Three days ago 9.0.17 was silently released (AFAIK). I assume that puts stable and beta on the same level as they are both marked 17. I'm on beta but 17 does feel like the most stable release so far; are you guys feeling the same or is this on par with other stable releases?

Edit: wait a second. I just noticed original post states "Last edited by Funk Wizard; 24th September 2019 at 05:24 PM. Reason: OxygenOS 9.0.17" but OP's website states Oct 5. Odd logic :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] F5:ed:
Thanks for the tip, looks interesting :good:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Weird. I've been on stable . 17 for a couple of weeks. Was it pulled and rereleased maybe?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_Random_Username:
OnePlus update their support download page just when they consider a build as stable enough to be available to general public. Hence why Q isn't listed as available for OP7/7Pro for instance.

You can compare the md5 of the link from FOTA server in the first post to the md5 of the file linked on support page if you wish to ensure update hasn't been re-released.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
Now that you mention it; I have found myself looking elsewhere for new releases before because it wasn't available on the official page yet. 11 days is a pretty huge difference though.
