Detail instructions needed for AOSP as well

Hi,

I'm on OOS 9.0.6 stock, no root. I wanted to try the Pixel Experience but the steps are too much complicated. I've tried as of morning today got stuck, basically either TWRP is replaced by stock recovery or stuck in bootloader.

These A/B partitions tends to make things more complicated when I compare my golden days of Nexus 6.

Correct me if I'm wrong - the following is what I understood if anyone is coming from

OOS stock no root.

Enable Developer Options

Enable OEM Unlocking

Enable Advanced Reboot Options in Developer Options

Reboot to Bootloader/Fastboot

Make sure ADB drivers are installed in PC

run command -

fastboot oem unlock

Select Yes in Phone [Wipes the data]

Remove PIN/Pattern and Fingerprint/Face Unlocks

Reboot to bootloader

Download blu spark twrp [both .img and .zip ] files to pc

Download OOS latest stable zip file from OnePlus Website

Download Pixel Experience AOSP zip file

Connect the phone in Bootloader to PC and run command -

fastboot boot twrp[B].img[/B]

Once it boots to TWRP recovery, your phone storage should be visible in PC, Copy OOS zip file and twrp zip file to phone

Flash OOS zip file

Flash blu spark twrp zip file

Reboot Recovery

Some cases I get Android Recovery again -- :confused: Let's say I get TWRP booting up again then

Flash OOS zip file

Flash blu spark twrp zip file

Reboot Recovery

Wipe -> Format Data -> Yes

Since data is wiped, now would be time to copy Pixel Experience Zip file assuming your device is still connected to PC and showing as storage device

Flash Pixel Experience Zip file twice (twice?)

Flash blu spark twrp zip file (if you don't find, copy and flash again)

Flash No Verity for OnePlus 6 (is this optional?)

Reboot to system

Hopefully it should work

Am gonna try these steps tonight, please correct me if there's any issue in list.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Totone56:
This honestly looks prettey good ! Except for :

- n°22, as i remember, the fastboot oem unlock already formats the storage (So no need to bother doing it again)

- n°24, you can flash your Custom ROM only once if you want to (Only OOS is needed on both slots, because custom ROMs use some of their libs and vendor stuff, so you flash it twice to be sure boths slots are filled with the good base for ROMs to work and avoid possible conflicts)

- n°26, "No Verity" is just for disabling encryption (Prevents the ROM from encrypting the device on first boot). It's quite cool, you don't have to worry about encryption scrambling your data while downgrading to an older build of a ROM, having an older Security Patch (Which forces you to Format everything and start over), but it's not mandatory at all. Just more convenient. Not that you have to flash Magisk before for it to work, if i remember correctly.

To be honest, the only "complication" with the A/B system compared to the old ways is the necessity to reboot TWRP after a ROM flash, to switch to the new active slot, it's not a real issue :D

Just remember : Every zip goes on the current slot (Magisk, Mods, ect, flash just like your good old Nexus), except for ROMs, which go into the other slot, which is marked as "current slot" ("Active"), and this is taken into accound after a TWRP reboot. Flashing Magisk or GApps without rebooting the recovery beforehand won't kill anything, but they will be flashed the previously active (wrong) slot, so on the "old ROM", not the new one :p

Blu stark Recovery not coming if I reboot recovery at Step 18. It reboots to Stock Recovery any idea? how to fix?

Update: Finally got it working. I'll share the video link which step by step if you follow its working!!

Btw, Do we have full screen navigation gestures?

I couldn't find it in the settings....

Android Auto problems with latest update

First of all thank you for developing this awesome ROM. Previous version was rock stable and i had zero problems with it.

But with latest release 06/04 there is some kind of problem with Android Auto (using latest version). When using only in phone mode there seems to be no problems, but when you connect the phone to the car following problems arise:

1. on the car screen there is actually missing nav bar on the bottom, it's only a black bar - but if you blind press the buttons they work.

2. there is terrible lag BOTH on the headunit and the actual phone itself.

I have tried the following:

-reinstalling the app (clearing cache, storage...)

-wiping the intire phone and reflashing PE (normal route)

Problem persists. Any ideas?

is there any way to enable network speed indicator in oneplus 6 ??

Sorry if asked earlier.. couldnt find the solution with the search.

Its been mentioned that it is disabled for devices with notch.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] AaronGavin:
Yes no maybe so?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] MotoXPlay:
The vibration intensity and the gestures.

The vibrations are very aggresive. Is there any way to turn them down?

And i really love the OOS gestures any possible way to get them working on this rom?

Thx anyways :D
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lennyjaxn:
Is anyone else having random reboot issues with this latest update? I updated due to the system notification about 12 hours ago, and I've had four reboots since then while the phone was idle. Zero issues before today. I haven't installed anything new, just updated through the system and then let the phone sit, and then it just randomly restarts.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dcoffin88:
I've been having the same issue after using the update option in the os. Just this morning I went into TWRP to reinstall the update manually by wiping system and dalvik hoping this would fix it and I haven't had any reboots yet.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ccic2491:
Having the same problem, the screen keeps shutting off. I keep having to hold the power button down to restart, very annoying.......:(
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dcoffin88:
I would try:

1. Boot into TWRP

2. Wipe system and Dalvik

3. Install latest version of PE again

4. Re-flash TWRP

5. Reboot to PE

If that doesn't work you may have to clean flash.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ccic2491:
This is a clean build, I'm coming over from OOS (9.0.6). I followed the flashing directions 100% as well........
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TedSaid:
I had similar problems, even when clean flashing like you. Had to revert to the previous version.

And as i also posted beforehand, Android Auto is unusable in car with latest version. There is probably some problem with video encoding i guess.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Totone56:
On the bottom of the settings menu, you have two entries for Additional Buttons and Screen modes, the vibration settings are in the first one ;)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] candreva87:
Last build is perfect, everything working fine.

Is there any option like this in settings? I cant find it anywhere. It would be very useful to unlock the screen faster when you cant use fingerprint...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pmoar3:
I have done the installation process twice but still I fail to boot to recovery form advance boot and physical key method every time I try. It just restarts the device as of no recovery is found.

Since new twrp with updated support for two partition is live, will it solve the issue. I was trying it with older built.

Any suggestion for updated flashing instructions?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ccic2491:
That's even more strange because Android Auto is working for me although my phone did reboot the last time I used it (yesterday).

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Are you flashing TWRP right after installing the OS?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] toyanucci:
I wish I could find an answer for this as well. It's a little silly that they disable it notched devices. I made the notch hidden and the option to turn on traffic indicator is now available but doesn't do anything.

If you or anyone know of a solution please let me know
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TedSaid:
Strange. Did you use AA on car screen or just on your phone? I only have problems when connected to car - phone becomes extremly laggy, as result responsive time on car screen is horrible, and navi bar is not visible at all. Only black bar on the bottom. When i reverted to previous version everythin works as expected.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ccic2491:
I used the car screen and it worked fine after the reboot of course. Actually the phone had been much better ever since that little episode and it hasn't rebooted all day today (knock on wood).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ozrrrr:
New build is ****ed. Random shut downs several times per day for no apparent reason. Screen calibration bug still present. And still no custom time range for night mode.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Mar-cel:
Fw OOS 9.0.5 or .0.6 ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vasanthmes:
I've booted from 9.0.6.. working fine.

BTW, I'm finding the battery consumption oddly wierd though. I've charged full around last night. Disabled WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, NFC. After 8 hours of screen off time, it has come down to 79%. When I went to Battery Usage, It shows nothing.

Any idea why? I've done clean flash. It's been a couple of days since I flashed. I don't have that many apps, Just the basic couple of apps installed. Even most of them are hibernated with Greenify before I slept yesterday.

Thanks in advance.

Humm.. really weird. I have been running the update myself since days but got no such issue like u mentioned. Could you provide me logs or so?

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TedSaid:
Update.

Today i've tried clean flashing again, this time with OOS 9.0.6. and i still have problems with latest version 06/04. Random reboots, and Android Auto problems still persist (when connect to car phone extremely laggy - both phone and projected picture), navigation bar not showing on car screen, and phone freezes every time when I unplug USB lead).

Previous version 05/11 doesn't have any of above mentioned problems, and everything is working fine after downgrading again.

Now i think I've tried all options so i guess i'll have to stay on previous version.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lennyjaxn:
Is there a painless way to downgrade without a complete wipe?

Thanks for posted update, but unfortunately the Android Auto problem persists for me. The weird thing i discovered is that AA in not problematic on every headunit, it works on some as expected, but on others there problems are the same as before, laggy phone and laggy AA on HU + navigation bar missing.

As said before version 2019/05/11 works normaly.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Jovicom:
[/U][/U][/U]

I have always been able to install version 2019/05/11 with a script that I have, a script that installs the .img of the official OnePlus Rom 9.0.x next to the .img of PixelExperience, in the last two versions this does not work, something fails in the last two versions, when i install the last two versions with my script, always reboot the phone to recover.

Im trying this rom but i have bootloop :/

LOL ... its WORK ! I try wipe all .... realy all in TWRP and boot me in to Pixel Experience ROM :D
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TedSaid:
Today i discovered that POCO F1 running latest PE AOSP has the exact same problem. Phone (when plugged to the car) becomes extremely laggy and hot as a result lag is present on headunit as well. Also there is a black bar on the bottom as before. Similar to this.

As stated before the whole thing is quite strange. Because on 05/11 build everything is absolutely fine on both cars i can test with. But on latest updates (both Oneplus 6 and POCO F1) have above described problems on one of the cars. I can't figure what but something changed with 04/06 build that breaks this.

The only thing i didn't try yet is the latest CAF build. Today i will also try that and we will see.

EDIT

Android Auto works as expected on CAF build. So if anyone has similar issues i had, try CAF. I did clean flast, with latest stable.

Does this ROM support:

RCS/Enhanced messaging like text over WiFi

Carrier video calling?

Evolution X on the one plus 5t (Evolution X is based on pixel experience) had them.

Not a deal breaker, just curious.

Any chance of bringing this to oneplus 7pro? I just got this phone and desperately miss the rom of my pixel. Not a fan of this oxygen OS at all.

Well I would but I sadly don't own the device. Initially I was going to buy it but here in Europe it starts from 709 euros which was way above the savings I hae made in few years. So, I bought Mi9 which was cheaper (450) euros. So, You will have to wait until someone with the device does the bringup for it or someone donates one to me?

Hello!

What are the current and actual instructions to install Pixel Experience CAF edition?

I've tried flashing OOS twice before flashing PE, wiping System then flashing PE, but every time I end up with phone that's unable to boot and goes into recovery after one boot attempt.

I was using latest blu_spark twrp and latest OOS (non-Beta).

I've flashed it back to OxygenOS for now. What's the recipe of successfully installing Pixel Experience CAF from now on?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] patres91:

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dptrumpeter:
Thanks for all your hard work [MENTION=5970333]markakash[/MENTION]. Been having Android Auto trouble with the last two builds even with doing clean installs. The problem is, is I don't know what is just an Android Auto bug and what is an actual issue with the new ROM ? The biggest thing I've seen that is an issue on the ROM side, is the minute I disconnect my phone, the screen freaks out, flashing rapidly until it just goes black. If I push the power button the screen will come on and not flash for a couple of seconds, then go black. There's really no touch input happening during any of this. So I guess my question is... where can I find the older versions of this ROM to flash back to? Seems like only the June security update versions are on the Pixel Experience site ? or do you think you'll have a good fix for this soon? Thanks so much again!

Screen calibration reset on reboot still present and some (albeit fewer) random reboots still happen on the newest build. Also, maybe switch the volume HUD to the other side, by the physical volume buttons where the HUD should be, or at least make it an option.

I'm not totally sure if it's the ROM but since others don't have that option, I'm quite tilted.

Need some help, TIA :)

P/s: As mentioned above my post, I also have some random reboot, and I also hope you can move the Volume panel to the left to be on the same side of the physical button.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lennyjaxn:

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TeDz002:
I redownloaded all the tools/files needed and followed the flashing instructions again, with the same result. During the 'clear data' step, does that mean press the 'format data' button in twrp? If so, I've followed everything correctly according to your instructions. Any ideas?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pmbonea:
What steps are you guys doing, after flashing oos twice just select wipe in twrp then slide the button, dont go to advance wipe, (I never wipe system or vendor in op6)

...then flash pe and twrp, reboot to twrp flash magisk reboot to system!...never face a problem
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] muhsin_Sultan:
did this same exact steps, didn't work.

Reboots shows me bootloader warning, then reboots again then opens twrp. Tried flashing OOS once and twice, did'nt work.

it worked at first, then i had some issues so i factory data reset in twrp, lost the os, so redid it, then had this issue

from what i understand is a boot image issue?

yes same here. lineage os works using the same steps but not PE
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TeDz002:
I'm coming from OOS 9.0.6 and flashing it also. I've also just tried the CAF version of PE to no avail.

markakash, if possible would you try flashing the current version (downloaded from the pixel experience download page). I don't have a clue why this would be happening except perhaps a corrupt download file.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] muhsin_Sultan:
Corrupted downloads could be the case BUT I got it to work BEFORE. Is this your first custom ROM on your OP6 or coming from a different one? I also tried the CAF one, no difference for me as well.

Mark, please have a look into this since quite a few are affected?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] markakash:
I don't get it why you guys are having a hard time flashing PE. Its simple af and the instruction are on the 2nd post. I will repeat it here again:

- Flash latest stable oos 2 times in twrp (not needed if coming from oos)

- Boot in oos

- Return back on twrp

- Do a factory reset(swipe to wipe)

- Flash PE

- Flash TWRP recovery zip

- Boot

Happy Flashing

Akash
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TedSaid:
I think you have problems because you are missing step where you have to boot into OOS when you flash it. If you don't and just wipe and flash PE over it, it wont work.
