[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
The next update, I'm going to make a list (and post it). As when I went through my phone I tried to search and find a list, and all I could across was tons of post saying this has been covered before. So then all I could find was very out-dated information, or suggestions like don't remove anything. None of which is helpful...

I ended up removing a whole bunch of stuff right off the bat that I've known is safe for a long time. Anything that I was not quite sure about, I chose the freeze option in TitianiumBackup, restarted, and waited to see if I had any issues. If I didn't, I removed it entirely.

Backup your data, what's the worse thing that happens, you make OOS angry, and you have to boot back into Fastboot or TWRP to reflash the ROM, no big deal.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
Mind posting what you disabled?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
The problem is I don't have anything disabled. If I didn't have any problems from freezing, I removed it entirely. The next update they release I'll make a list.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
as fast and as smooth as this phone is, why would you want to remove any system apps?

thats usually done to reduce overhead or speed up laggy phones; this phone is NOTHING like that...

I'd leave well enough alone, until something specific happens to your phone that makes you think you need to delete something..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] veatesia:
Does this method require root access? And can the phone be updated with OTA delta update afterwards?

I deleted Duo, Play Music, Play Movie, Play Books and save about 100MB on my phone. I'd rather spend those storage for apps, music and stuff rather than apps I know I never use
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
OnePlus has a very bad reputation for sending information back to their servers. So I would say this is a security / privacy issue. Especially until some other alternative to OOS is available.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
Every phone mfg/provider sells/steals our personal info, so, at this point in our lives, you cant be that concerned about those things; if you are, dont use your phone for banking/credit card/financial stuff, or anything seriously illegal..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Striatum_bdr:
If it's a real system app you don't have more storage for data... As system is a separated partition it's not the main argument.

The other inconvenient is that you have to remove them at each OTA or make a script to automate this.

Most of the time it's better to just freeze them with titanium as it remains after OTA.

I am rooted an I have Magisk. There's a modeule you can download off Magisk manager called "debloater" +terminal emulator that can remove anything off the phone. Reboot to take effect. It's basically my "Aroma".

I use it to debloat a lot of OnePlus stuff such as:

Contacts, messages, gallery, file explorer, Google play movies, etc.

Then I replace those with the Google counterpart and Nova launcher.

And if I "f-up", I can simply reinstall them right back on. No problem.

I love it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ZaKh10:
How do I backup so I can flash the rom?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Striatum_bdr:
Use the magisk module suggested by the post above yours. When an OTA arrives they will be installed again, just debloat again.

Is this where the normal disclaimer goes, I'm not responsible for anything, including thermonuclear war?........

I'm assuming you don't have the T-Mobile version, if you do there is a different thread with Fastboot images of both the international and T-mobile images.

Here is the official thread for download the regular 6T images (non branded / TMobile) OOS Roms: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/official-oxygenos-9-0-4-ota-oneplus-6t-t3860953

I assume you've seen this:

[Guide] OnePlus 6T [Fajita]: Unlock | Flash TWRP | Root | Nandroid & EFS Backup !!

I flashed the ROM, using ADB sideload in TWRP. So make sure you have ADB working on your PC first I've found this is really easiest to do in Linux, so even if you do this just booting from a live USB/CD is fine.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482

Backup any apps you care about in TitaniumBackup, copy that folder to your PC. Copy any other data to your PC as well just in case (music, photos, etc). Lastly, you will have to copy the Android and Data folders, these two folders will contain data for apps that TitaniumBackup may not have gotten.

If you search you should be able to come across lists, even though dated of programs and what they do, that you can remove. Just read up some, backup your data, make sure you have ADB and Fastboot working on your PC, and you'll should be fine.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] peterwilli2:
Hi there,

Yesterday I thought it was a good idea to flash a new rom (I bought my 2S early so I had a chinese rom I wanted to get rid off for a while).

My device is already unlocked and TWRP worked like a charm, that is, until today and last night. I first tried to flash lineageOS (https://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s-t3862712) and to my surprise it didn't boot after that, it just straight went back to fastboot.

So I flashed to the original rom (https://en.miui.com/download-343.html) using the fastboot method and the MiFlash program. My phone booted up again, but when I tried to flash Magisk to have root it got stuck and went straight to Recovery this time (as opposed to fastboot).

Next I tried to flash again using fastboot and then flash the rom I wanted (lineageOS). This time, lineageOS showed the boot screen from that rom, but it got stuck there for almost 5 minutes and then I decided to give up. Now, no matter which twrp or rom I try I either end up not being able to boot it and if I do I cannot flash Magisk for root. Is there anyone who has a solution? Everyone seems to be able to install lineageOS just fine... Thanks!

Here's what I tried so far:

- Flashing original roms (older versions too)

- Using fastboot format data, system, cache to remove all data instead of just using TWRP

- Flashing 3 different unofficial roms (neither worked, all were stuck in their respective bootscreen for at least 5 minutes)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] X4K7:
When flashing magisk try this method from NOS_bzone

Seems like I'm having a quite similar problem.... https://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/help/boot-installing-custom-rom-t3868623
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] peterwilli2:
I managed to flash the global official rom + Magisk by these steps:

Download official rom (from: https://en.miui.com/download-343.html) (I used the fastboot method, clean all, NOT clean all and lock)

Download magisk

Download MiPa kernel: https://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/development/kernel-mipa-kernel-t3831437

Flash the rom first using fastboot and MiFlash, then go to TWRP, then magisk and then MiPa (it will retain magisk)

After that I was able to boot and retain a successful root. I don't know about custom roms at the moment, but at this point after working on it for more than 12 hours, I don't feel like trying :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] seend:
Tried several times to do the update through the settings menu.

Everytime it reboots the screen stays black.

I can turn it on, it vibrates for half a second. I see the Android one screen and the screen turns black. So i tried holding the volume up button and power button but no Dev menu.

So I thought it was bricked but after a few tries it rebooted and says it can't install the update.

I've attached the screenshot of the issue. I've tried it 3 times. It redownloaded the update and failed again.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately the error is not informative. I had this error when installing November update. The only way I found to see what went wrong is to check logcat during upgrade, but I think it requires root. In the end I flashed the OTA using fastboot. Still didn't get this update. Try opening shell from adb and reading logcat. I don't think anyone can help you unless we know what is 5he reason for failure

Hey folks, just reinforcing the answer: removing the sim card before restart did the trick, the update went smooth.

December/2018 (V10.0.2.0.PDIMIFJ) to January/2019 (V10.0.3.0) was failing via OTA.

This is how I solved it:

Download V10.0.2.0.PDIMIFJ dump from this thread

Reboot phone to Fastboot mode (vol down+power)

Run flash_all_except_data.sh or if you're in windowsflash_all_except_data.bat

In my case my environment is:

Linux Fedora 29

fastboot version c7815d675 from android-tools package (just make sure you have the latest fastboot)

Using original USB-C cable

After flashing and reboot the OTA update installed normally without any issues

[Samsung Gear S3] Sheldon21:
Hi all.

Apologies if this has been addressed but I can't seem to find a solid answer. I have just bought a Gear S3 Non LTE version. I have enabled location and am using S Health / UA Record. Today I went for a parkrun without my phone, I got a GPS signal pretty quick but as I was running I noticed the Distance on the watched showed 0.0km. At the end of the run my watch sync'd with my phone, I can see my workout on S Health but the distance shows 0.0km. I can also see the map of the route but no markers.

I then tried using UA Record to do another quick run but same issue, distance showed as - - and wouldn't move.

I then tried a walk with my phone and the watch and the distance recorded fine.

Do I need nw phone with me to record distance? Surely not. Or am I just being a n00b and doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear S3] juliospinoza:
Could be the permissions of the S health app, if your watch is recording the kms you are running then is the phone app.

Try using other app or grant the proper permissions. Definitly using a Galaxy/Samsung phone do better job. I am using with note 8 and no problems so far.
[Samsung Gear S3] Sheldon21:
Thank you for the message! But the watch does not track the kms if the phone is not with me. Even when I sync later there are no kms. I see no distance if I run without my phone. I have tried with 3 apps and all have the same issue.
[Samsung Gear S3] juliospinoza:
That's just weird, the watch must track your distance without the phone. I use mine to run and I leave my phone home, using spotify and the s health in the watch.

One thing I noticed is that I need to lock the GPS before running because it takes up to 10 minutes to lock (some said) if I don't lock it the watch doesn't track my distance.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] torgede:
Hi, I have a Galaxy S5 (klte) and was updating from lineage-20181113 to 20181114 with the update function. After the reboot, during update installation, I unfortunately (idiotically) dropped my phone and the update was interrupted.

Trying to boot it normally with the power button, the phone stayed black. When I booted recovery (TWRP) and launched Lineage from there, it reached the PIN screen, but then went off. Next, I tried installing the downloaded zip with the TWRP install function again, but it aborted and rebooted again.

If I connect the phone via USB, it vibrates once, the battery symbol is shown for one second and it goes off repeatedly, never getting further. I can't even boot recovery anymore (it shows "recovery booting" in blue and then goes back to the battery symbol "loop"). Maybe it doesn't even charge anymore?

Do you have any ideas what the main problem is (e.g., hardware or software) and what to do? Any help would be appreciated!

Start from scratch. If twrp is no longer available: boot into fastboot mode and Odin/heimdall twrp.
