You can always just type "adb sideload " and then drag and drop the file your trying to sideload into the term;)

So I got it booting on Carbon from source.

Anyone having dialer or phone call issues on the 6 roms?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
No, just set your default dialer***

Does fingerprint work? Can you give a zip Carbon rom?

Is volte on vzw working on AOSP roms?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Add franken, havoc and about 5 other of the op6 roms to your list.. all work fine.

Edit. Franken is an awesome ROM, but i encountered awful corruption from an unknown variable.. had to use the tool and redo it all.

Flashing order for most of these is, flash oos to both slots, flash blue spark TWRP, adb sideload rom, boot. Back to twrp, gapps, boot. I cant figure out what i did wrong for root tho.. if i flash magisk after gapps i get bootlooped. Maybe try it after the rom? Before first boot ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Haz3:

I'll just wait for fingerprint to work on aosp roms and it'll be heaven. I think we just need a commit or an overlay for it to work?

Glad to see you around.

PH1 dude.. :D
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] johnsonjohn5318131:
Can I have more information on this? What is working/not working? I'm planning on buying a OnePlus 6T pretty soon and Lineage is a perquisite for me.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Keep an eye on this section for available development:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/development

Lineage isn't officially supported on the OP6 (last official OnePlus device was the OP5T),so,you may be waiting a while for this phone as well:

https://download.lineageos.org/

However,the OP6 is unofficially supported,so,if that's an option for you,perhaps the wait won't be too long.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] johnsonjohn5318131:
I am very much okay with it being unofficial, I'm only want to make sure the basics are working. I should wait until there is an unofficial build out to test.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] fracman:
What is the hold up on rom's for the 6t? Waiting on source or?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
By all means,please...........we're all waiting on you....................... :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Why isn't the 6 officially supported? The device tree is there on the lineage GitHub...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
You're asking the wrong person,one can speculate.........

I found this,no guarantees on the reasons as to why,so,let the speculating begin.....

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
As stated above with regarding to a/b devices, that's why.

To be labeled as "officially" supported. It needs to be functionally close to 100%. Even little things like hacked camera drivers, or in the case of A/B devices, the automatic updater not functioning can cause it to not get an "official" release.

An "unofficial" release can, to the end user, be just as functional as an official release. It's just that Lineage has a very high criteria on what they label as being officially supported.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Lineage 16 installs fine, every gsi, and every op6 rom works fine on the 6t.. roms will be abound in no time.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
I mean OnePlus devices will always be supported by the developer community. And even though the op6t doesn't have official lineage, it still is %100 functional, official is overrated anyways.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SpectraFun:
Which roms have you test on 6t and which is the best with good Camera?

Sources are not the problem. Sources are out.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Every rom seems to work well, some better than others, and camera quality is still superior on stock, but works great still on others roms. I have installed havoc, lineage, franken, aosip, and countless others. Oh and DON'T install renovate... it bootlooped. The first ten most recently updated roms. Only issue is the notch,. It actually blends in decent with our teardrop notch, but its too much of a notch hence why I waited for this phone. If u can ignore that then go for it. Make sure u are running oos on both slots before using adb sideload to install via TWRP...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Does VOLTE work?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] 234herobrine432:
Is it possible to create a flashable zip for the notch issue? it's possible to change the notch size and position in developer options, but no option to disable the cutout

by the way my rom is Havoc-OS-v2.0-20181125-oneplus6-Official, running rocksolid!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] infamousvincci:
They already released dirty unicorns for the oneplus 6. I hope we could port it to our device.

Someone else asked this and got a pretty smartass response, but does anyone know in general what's the hold up on 6t development?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] cwalker0906:
My guess would be a working twrp
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Here's a novel idea:

Instead of relying on 2nd/3rd hand hearsay,why don't you look around XDA for the developers that have been previously involved with OnePlus development & ask them directly.

If you think the answers given are of a snarky nature,that's on you.

If the ROMs aren't rollin' out fast enough to your liking,learn how to build 'em yourself,or be patient & wait for the ROMs to arrive.

Seriously,root is available,that should be plenty sufficient until further development takes off,or,move on to another device that has the development/ROMs for your needs.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
Posts like these are not helpful and paint a negative image. Instead of 'snarky' responses, perhaps a response that actually answers the question? What do you accomplish by negative responses like these?

To answer the actual question:

It is likely a multitude of things, of which I'll list below:

The Fingerprint scanner is a real issue. It requires framework modifications to make it work.

Device developers. There's only a handful of us as it is. The device is new, and it takes time to get into developers hands, and with the large amount of phones released this year...

TWRP has decryption issues that are proving troubling to get past. I've been working on this for over a week now. Likely this will require upstream changes to TWRP.

Most of the ROMs for the OnePlus 6 work fine, minus the fingerprint scanner.

Finally... ROMs do take time to create.

I think in time these issues will be overcome. Just hang in there guys. We're working on things.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
A lot of that has been asked & answered.

Using the search feature @ XDA wouldn't hurt either, but, seems the same people have an aversion to using it.

The people who continue to ask seem to have an expectation that repeating the same questions is going to produce a different answer.

It's akin to a bratty child in the back seat of a car asking "Are we there YET", without pause.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nosferatu.:
...and yet for the amount of time you took to formulate your first response you could have used the same 30 seconds of typing to actually answer the guy's question. I tend to answer questions if I feel like it. If I am getting frustrated (like you seem that you are over it) I just move on to the next thread. Doesn't waste as much time. No one answers it, and the thread falls out of existence. Problem solved (from you end). :laugh::good:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
You're right,most days I just ignore it,but,once in a while,or,more like,when the frequency of the insanity keeps going,I'll jump in & add my 2 centavos.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nosferatu.:
I hear ya. I did it the other morning (primarily bored waiting for my wife to get ready :laugh: ) and I ruffled a few feathers on here. I agree, some people want stuff spoon fed, but it's rare to see a breath of fresh air where someone flat out answers the guy's question without a demeaning attitude like the way Dameon87 did. :good:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] johnsonjohn5318131:
Thank you for this post. I honestly don't care too much about the fingerprint scanner, however I do want to make sure TWRPs issues are squared away before I buy the 6T.

Thank you for all the hard work from the developers! Seriously appreciate it as it heavily influences which devices I buy for sure.

[MENTION=1314742]Dameon87[/MENTION] Thanks for the info, this precisely is what I was looking for.

[MENTION=3512846]KOLIOSIS[/MENTION] ...(choosing my words carefully) my question was not meant as an eta-timeframe sort of thing, I was honestly asking if there was something I may have missed or overlooked (in my searching and actual thread reading) that was preventing or hindering development on our particular device such as possible new security measures and what not, for example. Simple as that! ??*♂️

I meant it as a legitimate question because im not sure how it works. Not as in why is it taking so long. No disrespect was intended.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mackentosh:
Now that we have a working Twrp can can we flash a OnePlus 6 room thru it or it only sideload?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] wase4711:
according to what I've read in that TWRP thread, most folks say TWRP works as it should..

I just wonder what benefits anyone thinks they will get from a "custom" rom... This phone is almost totally debloated, fast as snot, nothing what so ever on the stock rom that really annoys me, and getting viper/TB/substratum, and a couple other handy tools is easy with just plain root..

I've flashed thousands of roms on dozens of phones over the years, and this phone is NOT in serious need of any sort of "custom rom", so those of you moaning for some, please tell us exactly what you feel this phone is in serious need of that would require a custom rom, and not just root?

I'd like to be enlightened..

thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
Because we like roms

And also every rom offers something another doesn't.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hondajohn88:
Hey Koliosis! How the heck are ya? Did you get the 6T? I did lol

I'm having a beotch of a time trying to get a home built rom to boot. This is way different than other phones I've built roms for. I've successfully "killed" my phone 3 times now on my various lineage builds, pimping the crash dump. Thank God for the firehose :D

Someday i might build one that boots :cyclops:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] wase4711:
iI like roms too; and, I dont agree that EVERY rom offers something another doesn't

frankly, the stock rom on this phone has almost everything many people would ever want or need..add root, and a few apps, and you have just made your OWN "custom rom"

so many roms over the years have just been copies or ripoffs of someone else work, and unique ideas are few and far between now a days,IMO
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Doing well my man,hope all is well w/you & yours! :good:

I've had to use the firehose myself today (user error),LOL

I'm back up & running,just installed the permanent TWRP,gonna call it a day for now.

Does anyone know, how about notch when you flash OP6 custom rom to OP6T ? Is it sized properly or not ?

Pixel Experience
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logan0829:
Does that mean fp sensor doesn't work for you?

havoc working fine?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
I tried the Pixel rom and I had no data and some weird storage issues going on. Couldn't download anything from the browser or save photos because there wasn't enough storage space even though I had plenty. Also would not see my SIM card so it was basically useless. Guess I'll just wait for someone to build an official rom for the 6T.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jibgilmon:
[MENTION=2564537]wase4711[/MENTION] For some people it's also the hope for a ROM without Google. Otherwise, I agree with your initial post regarding custom ROMs; root and kernel flashing/modding is plenty.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I tried AOSP 9 GSI, booted in just 3 secs, overall very smooth and fast, calling failed but could receive calls, i dont know if it is a carrier issue or rom issue, came back to oxygen os. Wanted to experience pure Aosp

Any else tried it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OhioYJ:
Running LOS16, one thing I've noticed is even though I've set a password, and the phone says I'm "encrypted", I don't have a to type a password in recovery when I go into Blu's TWRP? Is this normal?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Im pretty sure thats normal. Exactly what steps did you take to flash?? Im having issues flashing aosp. Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OhioYJ:
You have to do it just as the instructions say. I tried to do it without wiping data and with the 6T TWRP, an neither way work. You must use the OP6 recovery, and you must wipe data. Just follow the instructions exactly, it should work.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] noolis:
What about notch size on LOS?

It's ok?Or bigger?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OhioYJ:
I didn't notice any problems. You have to keep the clock on one side and the battery / network stuff on the other. Which is the default, otherwise it gets cut off. Everything really seems to work fine "notch-wise" in my testing.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cozzeck:
Anyone running havok? Saw that someone had issues with it and wanted to make sure it's fine before I go and flash it, thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] juggz14301:
Did anyone else have an issue with the op6 pixel experience rom not maintaining the correct time?

It was the only reason I couldn't keep it as a daily driver.

It seemed the time would be fine when I initially set everything up (and as long as I would use the phone during that initial phase), but once I let it deep sleep the time wouldn't update. The only way to fix it was to go into settings and uncheck Auto-update time and then re-check it, which became annoying after a while.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
Well now we got fresh pe builds for the 6t :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] juggz14301:
Yes but thus far the op6t build has more issues than the op6 version on the op6t.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] clarkcant:
Wouldn't you be able to just flash Gapps on the stock ROM, and not select anything in the Gapps Installer?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
No
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Logan0829:
Have you tried flashing gsi havoc?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Gsi's works, be sure to flash to both slots or u break verity
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Delete.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Cozzeck:
This method doesn't seem to work anymore, is there any other way of flashing OP6 Roms on OP6T?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OhioYJ:
It works fine. What problem are you having. Just yesterday I went back to Lineage 16 on my 6T. Couple of things:

- I used Blu-Spark-TWRP-3.2.3x-9.91 for the OP6 (obviously) for the initial flash. I still wiped everything to be safe. I have not tried without wiping. I wiped everything except vendor. Including data.

- I then went through the whole procedure to flash LOS 16 to both A / B slots. Remember between reboots it will switch slots on you (when flashing a ROM). I made sure Gapps and Magisk were on both slots. Really this was probably overkill, it theory it should work with it on just one slot, but some of the 6T AOSP roms have had issues with things being on just one slot, so I figured better safe than sorry.

- After you have booted once, BluSpark will no longer be able to decrypt your device, you will have to go back to a OP6T recovery oddly enough. This will also help ensure kernels detect your device as a 6T. So fastboot the 6T recovery, install the 6T recovery. Now see the note below:

- Same problem as before, no sound, on OP6 ROMs, but a custom kernel will fix this. I also had a new problem which was I only had WiFi for setup, never worked again after that. Could have been a LOS problem, may have even been me messing with different kernels trying to get it right. The WiFi issue will be solved by any kernel with a driver built in, Smurf test Kernel v54 has this.

Everything works after this, other than the fingerprint sensor. My work around to get into the device at the moment, which I really don't like is face unlock. Ugh... Oh well. So I don't have to use the power button I am using the double tap to wake, but the battery drain was pretty bad. To help with this I am using NapTime by Franscisco (creator of the Franco kernels) and that seems to have helped quite a bit. However there is a known issue with some builds of LOS not going into deep sleep, so it could apply to the OP6 build as well. Maybe this will get better with time.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] indian84:
Download your favorite ROM for OP6, edit the Metadata to change all 6 to 6T.

Flash it using official OP6T TWRP.

Profit.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Reacerbytes:
I'll get to the point:

1) What is currently the best ROM for stability, performance and battery life?

2) From the research I've done myself, Pixel Experience seems to be the best for that, but is 9.0 stable enough to be used as a daily driver or should I stick with 8.1?

3) Do ROMs get OTA updates? As in, if theres a new version of Pixel Experience for example, I can get the update just like any stock update? Would I lose root?

4) If I wanted to go back to stock and start completely from scratch (no root and stuff), all I would need to do is flash a stock image with Mi Flash Tools, right?

5) What is slot A and slot B? Do they matter when I flash a ROM?

6) What permanent TWRP Recovery should I use for ROMs? ComicDan's seems to be the only one for 8.1 that is permanent, but I dont wanna mess with Treble. It also seems that his TWRP cant flash Lineage-based ROMs, but I dont care about Lineage so thats a non-issue

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Jt380p:
1. It's all about your preferences, preferably go with official roms.

2. Same answer as 1.

3. Only official builds get ota updates, with unofficial builds you have to flash the "ota" via twrp (besides lineage os, unofficial builds also get ota).

4. Correct, you can't restore using twrp because stock image/data are encrypted, you'll end up in a boot loop (found that the hard way :D).

5. They do matter, follow the instructions and ONLY the instructions say. Idk what they mean, but newer devices have them.

6. Depending on the rom (from my knowledge), you have to install twrp installer zip everytime you flash a rom.

Hope I cleared that up for you.

I'm on stock 8.1 by the way. I used to use liquid remix 10.

If you ask me what's my favourite rom(s), here is my list in order :

1. Lineage os

2. Pixel experience

3. Dot os

4. Resurrection Remix
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ramitzoro:
When I am flashing any 9.0 custom rom, it installs properly but always there are two camera apps both of which do not work and when I call or receive call the volte icon in status bar disappears and the call drops. The same roms when flashed on my friends mi A1 they work fine. I am not able to understand what the problem is. I have already tried clean flashing stock rom with flashtool. Also Camera was not working in 8.1 custom roms.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] anand_206:
Which ROM are u flashing exactly? Are you using stock gapps? Stock gapps seem to mess with camera provided by ROM. So try lower version preferbly micro/nano/pico..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] YayJohn:
What made you leave liquid remix? Just asking

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

1. I dont really know but rn I use liquid remix and it checks all those boxes

2. If you hear the rom is stable it means its stable. No matter the android version. I use liquid remix and its pretty stable and I think pixel experience is even stabler

3. Some roms offer ota through a button in the phone. But most of the roms you will need to reflash the new update through twrp

4. Yes. I don't know what the other guy was talking about but I did that multiple times and it worked fine

5. Not really

6. Use it. Its treble compatible but you dont require to have treble to use it (and again I dont know what the other guy is talking about. Cosmicdan twrp reinstalls itself)
