Hi, I'm going to do this evening, I haven't used to OP6 for now two days after its stuck with the bootloader, anyway just wanted to know is there any Video guide avaliable for non tech geek's like myself, because I could end up with some situations. Please let me know if there is any, if not I would like to do one after completing it. As I'm I don't wanted to use any Google stuff and I haven't used it for more than 4 years now.

Fist time I saw the post and I'm totally wanted to try it out and read the instructions, that's seems to be very easy, so that moved on because I don't have to use Google play service even I liked the Oxygen OS but that didn't count as its free from Google.

With my limited knowledge and I'm in 40s it's hard to understand some technical deals.

Anyway what happened was last time as follows.

1) download everything

2) put in a internal folder named it as "newOS"

( I think that's the biggest issue)

3) after booting in to recovery mode, I could not find my folder to flash it, so I though something I have done wrong and wanted to do it again. Then I'm stuck in the fastboot

4) after entering the recovery mode with Blue TWRP I had some file names in random numbers and letters, I realized that it's not what I'm looking for and I find the folder option and check the my folder that named NewOS, wasn't there.

HELP ME Out ON FOLLOWING

So please tell me what should I do this time?

How should I keep the download files?

When I enter the Recovery mode for the flash if the names not available then how can I find it?

Thanks for reading my stupid question and thanks again for providing some answers in advance.

I really wanted to contribute to the developer, soon after troubling this issue.

Encryption failure. Format couöd be the only way out afaik
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] refai:
I didn't get it! Can you elaborate little bit more please
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
You need to format internal from TWRP, then connect the phone to the PC to transfer Blu spark TWRP zip and flash it.

Then reboot to TWRP and transfer the ROM and flash, then flash TWRP again. Now you have a working system atleast and you can start over
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] refai:
OK, now I get it, I'll be doing it very shortly and let you guys know. Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
when doing theese kind of stuff, remove all securety stuff. makes it easier.

im running a decrypted device, so much better tbh..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] refai:
Actually I haven't encrypted it personally but was it by default?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
Default. Only way is to follow the decrypt guide in the forum, after that you have to remember to flash the no verity zip after each kernel,magisk,twrp,rom update :p
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] refai:
Hey, I didn't understand what you mean by "no verity zip" can you explain it, please.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
Lol :p are you trying to do this on oxygen os or custom rom? Won't work yet on oxygen since it doesn't have signature spoofing + all Google apps are installed and has to be removed. +Odexed

(edit)

"TESTED ROMs SO FAR:

-ArrowOS: everything works, highly recommended. Nisse script works perfectly, as well as nanodroid.

-LiquidRemix: highly recommended. Nisse script works perfectly, as well as nanodroid.

-AEX: highly recommended. Nisse script works perfectly, as well as nanodroid.

-OmniRom: recommended. Needs some tweaks to make MicroG to work properly. See here: https://xdaforums.com/sho...3&postcount=12 Now files are attached to this post as well (Nisse Omni + priv-app apps you need to manually install through systemizer)

-Lineage OS: not recommended. The ROM doesn't support signature spoofing. You need to use Nanodroid patcher to make it work. It's not ideal and it significantly degraded performance for me.

-AOSIP: not recommended, as GAPPS are included in the ROM archive.

-Bootleggers: not recommended, as GAPPS are included in the ROM archive.

-Pixel Experience: not recommended, as GAPPS are included in the ROM archive.

-OOS: not recommended, as GAPPS are included in the ROM archive. Also, the ROM is odexed and doesn't have signature spoofing."
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
As you were told, I think you should get more familiar with flashing and stuff with this device before trying microG, it's quite advanced and you can't be approximate if you want it to work properly.

Thanks for your help and patience :D

Hello sorry for the question, I know its very stupid to ask but I don't have any option, please tell me what is the difference between Reboot to recovery when we are already in the recovery?

actually, I'm on oxygen beta 10.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
There's not much we can do to make it more simple. My tutorial isn't that complicated, it's just long because it's detailed. Anybody with basic knowledge can follow it without trouble.

But then MicroG is a work in progress and it has a few bugs, but none of us have the knowledge to improve it more make it more simple/reliable.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] refai:
Hey OP, your post is very simple and that's what I have gave a try but my very limited knowledge is the problem, not your post, its awesome! :svetius:

Some of the steps I really don't understand due to my lack of knowledge I guess. :crying:

Because like a simple terms says

5) Reboot to recovery ---->but that's one of the part I didn't understand. Because I am already in the TwRP and I don't know how to do it :eek:

I should watch some videos and get educated than just filling this thread with stupid stuff. I'm apologize. Hope your not misunderstood me.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Yes well from recovery you can reboot to recovery from the bottom right option (reboot => reboot to recovery). Not that hard :D

Is there any Opengapps remover script? Would be nice to remove the gapps from Treskmod and flash this MicroG
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
What ROM are you using? What happens If you click on those unchecked boxes?

I think you can clean up with nanodroid but why wouldn't you use omni as a base instead?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tibcsi0407:
I believe Tresk made some modifications, not only the Gapps differ from the Original Omni. Really like this ROM, so that's why I am looking for a solution to keep it if possible.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
What changes are you referring to? AFAIK the most noticeable change is the kernel but you can always download redflare and use it with omni.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
Pure Omni vs tresk feels the same, install Smurf kernel on Omni and ur good to go (after microg setup etc.)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tibcsi0407:
I will see, would be nice to try this MicroG.

Thank you!

I found why Nanodroid wasn't working with Omni and how to fix it. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78667840&postcount=5303

I will update OP later in case a new update of Nanodroid fixes the problem.

Right now, to use Nanodroid, it's not super easy though.

-Install Omni, the usual way, but not nanodroid.

-Boot to system to make sure it works

-Reboot to recovery then flash magisk then Nanodroid

-Reboot and then follow the procedure as usual.

That's the only way I managed to make it work. If I directly flash Nanodroid without booting to system i go back to TWRP in bootloop IDK why.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
yeah, i accedently did somethink along that way when i were just troubleshoting why it wouldnt boot. got it booted but i messed up something else at the end so i couldnt write to system (systemize apps) and everything was just a bit to much with the time i had left to get it up n running. Ended up giving up, for now.., with omni + microG :p

Like you said, omni is a bit trickier.

Arrow os is good alternative ? Or liquidremix is better?

Both should work, AEX works as well, but my personal favorite is Omni. It works with nanodroid if you use this specific file: https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/NanoDroid-microG-20.5_PrivAppTest.zip

Flash Magisk

Flash kernel if you want

Reboot

No need to reflash nanodroid normally.

Some amazing news guys!

Basically Marvin got funded to have a full-time job (I think) to work on MicroG. So we should see substantial improvement in the next few months. He plans to make it compatible with Android Wear and plans to develop its own open source notification service so apps can use it instead of the google's one.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Also, last update of Nanodroid gives good improvement and it is fully functional with Omni!

Thread updated about Omni but also other things about Nanodroid that I think are useful.

Wallah, just installed Omni with Nanodroid full and worked like a champ!! :svetius: hope battery will be better than AEX. With AEX I had about 20% down overnight with data connection for past two days.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Voilà* :D

It should be better! Give a try to smurf kernel too If you feel like it.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] refai:
Amazing really feel the difference already after installation but inside the apartment experiencing some suddenly signal drop, that hasn't happened before because I'm totally in love with Omni and just checking everything, everything works fine so far.

Battery is totally awesome and amazing just like my other Asus Zen max pro M1.

I have to charge twice to keep going for part of the day with AEX but that's solved and still fully using it.

All the apps loaded and running like stock Android, totally happy with it. Protonmail, Tutanota and K-9 doing the best.

Anyway in the previous post of [MENTION=1737862]tomatot[/MENTION] I have replied to him properly but somehow my full reply didn't show, so I edited it with Firefox browser but same result, don't know why is that (could be a bug) using XDA Lab.

P.S~ In the previous post I was explaining [MENTION=1737862]tomatot[/MENTION] how I installed it, to understand I have done it correctly or not, I'm drafting it again, please let me know correct or not.

Disabled Kernel Adiutor (Guessing, it came with NanoDroid)

Via TWRP Flashed it.

Reboot system.

That's all I have done. Was it correct or WRONG?

All the apps are working perfectly until now as I said earlier, GSM network goes to 0 and 3 time to time, but no data or call drop so far. Other than everything fine.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Thanks for your feedback. Nanodroid shouldn't install Kernel Adiutor. You need to download the microG installer, not the generic one, right?

I'm not sure what you're asking? If it's about network, Neither Omni nor microG should influence how it works. I personally don't have any issue regarding this.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] refai:
[MENTION=5270700]whizeguy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1737862]tomatot[/MENTION] theses are the apps I'm running and disabled.

Android Auto - Dream Over

Hi Tomatot,

Have tried before with Lineage OS Fork, have been there before with other custom roms until I realized that things are so integrated to Google that at some point you give in instead of giving out...

Android Auto is a crucial example of no alternative, first you are tied to 2 GPS applications (Maps and Waze), then with MicroG it doesn't go through the 1st screen ... and because you want to use your inboard display you give in .... and then you want to use your voice while driving and you give in again...

By no means I'm trying to dissuade anyone on doing this, actually I would highly recommended doing so if it wasn't for the fact that you take for granted some things that dont work at all with MicroG or work badly enough for you to give up.

I have a friend with 2 phones because of the above, one with the now imploded CoperheadOS and another one with Android Auto....

My 2 cents

Ever
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
It's all about pros/cons, priorities and how much you value privacy. I understand microG is not for everyone as first, it's not that easy to set up, and second, yes, indeed, not everything works perfectly. If you can't give up on most Google Services it's not worth the effort indeed. Thank you for your feedback anyway. :)
