If you still not upgraded your Mi A2 to Android Pie 9 follow these steps to get it without factory reset:

You need root access (magisk) for this guide

1- Download and install my Android Market Enabler app

2- Connect to a Netherlands VPN with good speed

(You can use a free VPN like Psiphon but for better speed and stability get a paid VPN)

3- Open Android Market Enabler and set "[NL] T-Mobile" as your provider

4- Check update, the Pie OTA update should appear to you!!

5- Restore images with magisk, install update, install magisk to inactive slot then reboot

6- Enjoy!! ;)

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] S /\ E E D:
Yes, it should works if your device is rooted with magisk!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] dlhak:
Why would you root ? Just reset, install vpn, update and you are done.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] n0b0dy666:
Ehm, unlocking the bootloader will wipe data and is required for rooting. So yeah, following this workaround will still factory reset your phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] S /\ E E D:
A lot of people root their phone on very first days (like me) so they don't need factory reset for pie update ;)

Also you still have root access with this method
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] n0b0dy666:
Well yeah...but the guide claims "...without factory reset", and the first step is fo factory reset.

Edit: to clarify, guide only works provided you're already rooted, otherwise a factory reset/data wipe is still necessary.

I inadvertently asked this in my other thread, but I feel this deserves its own thread as it is quite a big issue?

I have tried multiple camera apps, including stock and none of them give me a HDR option. All of them just have the timer, flash and photo size at the top of the screen. I cannot see any option for HDR in the settings tab either.

Any ideas? I feel like HDR would make a big difference for the stock camera and GCAM. I've only had the phone for 2 weeks (bought used) and haven't noticed HDR since I've had it.

Thanks

(I am running the latest OOS, fully up to date)

Go to OOS Camera Settings ( You can find settings in camera modes) and enable Manual HDR Control. I forgot how to enable it in GCAM but I think it's pretty similar.

Hi everyone,

After updating from MIUI 9 to MIUI 10, Battery backup has reduced significantly. I used to get almost 9hrs of screen on time. But not anymore. :confused:

I don't know why hasn't anyone brought up this issue on this forum!? Or is it just me? :rolleyes:

I did a factory reset before updating my phone to 10.0.6.0, and do not even have much apps installed on the phone. Neither I've unlocked the bootloader or done anything like that. Just simply updated my phone through OTA update.

Any suggestions or advice will be really helpful.

Thanks

Till Then you can also try to recalibrate your battery first

https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-calibrate-the-battery-on-your-android-device

After that it's advisable not to charge your phone over 90% and charge it when discharged to 20%.

Also check if there are any wakelocks that prevent the phone from going to sleep and you can use " Wakelock Detector " app from playstore for that.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Dennisg34:
Hello All,

This is my first 1+ phone in general, and first phone in a while I might need to root/bootloader unlock. Just wondering how everyone has been liking this phone, and the difficulty (at least just rooting) for unlocking/rooting this phone under T-Mobile. I might be done with flashing ROMs, but at least root would be nice again. After the S5 on Verizon I've basically been done with this, but did root my LG G5/v10/20 back when they came out. Coming from the LG G6 that I've been trying to wait until May to upgrade, but this ridiculous moisture sensor issue has forced me to upgrade since I can't even charge my phone.

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane2:
I have an S6 edge with a glitched IMEI, it is returning 350000000000006 as the IMEI (different to the original IMEI which is shown on the back of the phone). I have tried all of the suggestions I can find for getting the original IMEI back including flashing a stock ROM with ODIN, flashing a stock rom with ODIN while erasing the device's NAND, and trying to fix the IMEI with xposed, but nothing works. It looks like the owner of the phone took it to have it unlocked, and it got flashed with some sort of custom binary, but restoring the device fully to stock didn't help. So I'm not convinced this is a simple EFS partition corruption, and that something might have permanently screwed up the phone's IMEI. Is there anything else I can try to restore the IMEI, or is the phone now as good as useless?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midastic:
Just curious Shane 2 if you ever made any progress on the Galaxy S6 edge.

I had the same thing happen to me over the weekend. It was very unexpected because the phone is not rooted and I have never flashed anything to the phone. I bought it refurbished on ebay and it has worked flawlessly for 2 and a half years. Then yesterday I got the error 101 the phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked and my IMEI shows 350000000000006. I was about to try and restore the factory ROM, but after reading your post I don't want to risk bricking the phone. Weird thing is it still works with Wi-Fi Calling, it just can't connect to the network.

VoLTE isn't limited to the ROM; your carrier also has to support the VoLTE standard used in your device. If there is a mismatch, or your carrier uses a different protocol, then VoLTE will break. We've included the minimum required for VoLTE to function, but we cannot guarantee it will work in all regions under all conditions.

Should you feel your carrier definitely supports the VoLTE standard used on your 5X, please file a bug report with a logcat included. Thank you!

hi

thanks for the great rom

whenever i update new bliss rom (setting->system updtae), google service is stopped working

[Nexus 5X Android Development] ideaman924:
Yes, you need to flash Gapps after installing a new build as we currently do not support delta updates.

Please tell me the proper step to do... i have to manually download the bliss rom from website or update from mobile.

please help in this issue.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ideaman924:
Just like any other ROM, flash a new zip. But, before rebooting, you must flash Gapps. Try to flash the same zip that you initially flashed, or flash a newer revision of Gapps to avoid conflicts. If using Opengapps, make sure to download the same suite (nano, micro, pico, etc.) as different suites may cause inconsistencies that might break Gapps.

We recommend using Opengapps.

Unfortunately this is an issue I'm still working on. Sorry :/

[MENTION=5815168]ideaman924[/MENTION] Just curious if you've found anything regarding ims and the cellular issues? Not a big deal since I've been swapping the ims.apk as a workaround.

A couple other minor things I've been meaning to ask, for which there's no mention in this thread:

1. The Themes in Blissify don't let me 'select' them? Is this a known issue? I'm using the Dark mode under Display, if that matters.

2. I don't get notifications showing up with Ambient Display; not when they arrive nor by picking up the phone. I tried toggling the enable, etc. And it did work in Pixel Experience, so isn't just a generic Pie issue. Is this working for others?

Anyway, thanks for a great ROM! Way fewer random reboots than when I was using PE. :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ideaman924:
I've been looking into writing a shim, but I think the easiest fix is, like you've said, replacing the ims.apk. Still working on getting that replaced :/

Yes, the Blissify theme selection problem has been confirmed by the team. It's being worked on.

I am not sure about the notifications being broken, I haven't had the time to use the phone a lot lately. I'll look more into this issue. Thank you for the bug reports!

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

I have some bad news to share with all of you.

About two weeks ago, something changed with our ROM source that caused some devices to not boot under the new source. We are still committed to figuring out what is the issue, but because of technical difficulties building a debuggable build, it is getting very hard to track down the source of the problem. As a direct consequence to this setback, builds for bullhead will be suspended until further notice. This does NOT mean that bullhead is being deprecated or abandoned in any way, however.

In the meantime, you can still use the latest builds available at our download site, downloads.blissroms.com . These builds do not have the latest ims.apk file however, so you'll need to swap them out. Go back a couple of posts in this XDA thread and you can find instructions on how to do so yourself.

Sorry to bring disappointing news. I'm fully committed to get bullhead smoothly running on Pie. Thank you for using Team Bliss's firmware and have a great evening.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jeremywh7:
Thanks for the update! If you need users to help bisect the issue (i.e. flashing test builds) let us know!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] flipflop1:
why do you change the kernel name when you fork it, keep credits...

Edit: also I guess you had problems compiling my kernel so go PM if you want to know why.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ideaman924:
Thank you for the offer! I'm still at work testing various things. At this stage all of the builds are bootlooping for bullhead only, so I'll start informing users once we get to a bootable state.

Hi flipflop. I'm guessing you're talking about your kernel that I forked a couple of days ago? https://github.com/ideaman924/kernel_lge_bullhead

I actually forked it to my profile because I wanted to test out some commits and needed a reliable way to share commits across my different work devices. I usually work on commits on a low-power machine and then put it up on a separate branch - that way I can pull it on a much beefier machine to actually compile and test builds.

I never, ever publish a build without the original kernel developer's consent. I've already asked [MENTION=5533673]milouk[/MENTION] and several other kernel developers before just as a courtesy. The GPL, and the open source licenses in general do not state that you need permission from the original developer to fork or make modifications to the published source code. The GPL in particular only requires the developer to publish the source code if any binary artifacts are released to the public. Since I didn't publish any builds with the kernel included and since the source code is public already on my profile I have violated none of these requirements. Again, I would've asked you for permission if I was planning to include the kernel with the bullhead builds, just as a courteous measure. I hope you are satisfied with my explanation.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] flipflop1:
I don't care about permissions, you can take whatever you want and change whatever you, I was just wondering why you changed the kernel names, it's like forking Android and changing the name to iOS.

But again do what you want, as you can see I didn't published it as I'm doing it just for fun and not to put a PayPal link like some xda devs...

Have a nice day.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ideaman924:
Are you asking why I changed the repository name when I forked from "flipflop" to "kernel_lge_bullhead"? I changed it so that it's more descriptive - I can easily figure out what the repository is for later down the road. It's not quite forking Android and changing the name to iOS, so I don't know what you want to say by that. Do you want me to change it back to "flipflop" or delete the forked repository completely?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] flipflop1:
No man you don't have to delete or change anything, it's the open source world; I was just wondering why you were changing repo names when forking because for me it's easier to let the name but now I have my answer lol.

By the way if you want to use my kernel for you rom I suggest you to take FlipFlop branch and to ask me my toolchain because there's some kernel flags related to it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ideaman924:
Sure thing, I will make sure to contact you again should I include the kernel in the builds. Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jeremywh7:
delta updates

Could you add a line in the OP Installation section, something like, "If dirty flashing to an updated Bliss ROM, be sure to still flash the same Gapps variant and version (or newer) after the ROM, before rebooting to system."

Just curious...are delta updates planned to be supported eventually? Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] flipflop1:
Yeah I was wondering why because for me it doesn't makes sense to do that but if you find it easier it's fine lol.

As I stated, I'm doing that for fun so do what you want ? .

And btw if you want to use my kernel for your rom I suggest you FlipFlop branch and contact me in PM so I can give you the proper toolchain that I built for this kernel.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ideaman924:
Will do!

We're looking into rewriting the backupscript so that it works on both normal and A/B devices, but don't have an ETA on that. Sorry!

Yup, as I've said before I will make sure to contact you for permission and proper inclusion details before releasing a build with the kernel. Thanks!
