[Device Reviews and Information] TheeWolf:
So, due to the untimely death of my beloved Nexus 5X (literally, untimely... you couldn't die just before black Friday, you jerk? :p) I seek to buy a new phone.

I actually don't really want the most high-end phone since I really don't need all of it's powers - I usually just surf the web, listen to music, play games that even a Samsung S1 can run... So I was thinking about getting a mid-range phone. As much as I want the Pixel 3, it's just such a big waste of money, for stuff I don't really need.

Here is a list of requirements:

1. Screen size - 5.7'' and smaller. The smaller, the better.

2. MUST include NFC.

3. Camera - as good as the Nexus 5X.

4. A good developer community.

5. Have a finger print reader.

6. Optional - have the ability to have always on display or ambient display. I know this can be achieved via software, but the phone needs to have the appropriate hardware for this features not to waste battery.

7. If it can have a Snapdragon processor which is of the 800 series, it would be best. I assume that such a processor would never be in a mid-range phone, but one can never give up hope :)

Any good recommendations?

Thank you!

You need to flash android Nougat bootloader and modem. Those two versions need to be the same as the android version. There is a guide in the guides section that can help you. Also, you can't install earlier version of bootloader and modem if those are the newest versions right now. If that is the case, you can install an 8.1 custom ROM and it should be fine.

"best" is very subjective so try some and see how they work for you.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kos26:
That's for you to decide, it's really down to preference. What's good for one person might not be for another. This question is pretty much the same as "whats the best phone", it just depends. But, I'm using the Proton kernel v7 and I'm happy with it. Battery life and performance are good.

Saw it dropped yesterday, and plan to flash.

Did you follow the steps in the pinned post, or modify it somewhat?

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL, #WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
I "followed" the instructions, but I just did it out of habit. I found the rom before I found their instructions and where it was actually posted.

A few days before it dropped I tried building it but kept running into build environment issues, but I did notice its targeted towards the December update so make sure you update first.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jawonder:
Are you talking about Dirty Unicorn ?. Where can i find it , dont see it in the Roms section .
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
It's not on XDA, gotta search around for it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jawonder:
So you just factory rest and flash Rom and TWRP zip and it boot up fine and working ?.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jawonder:
So i flash and it keeps rebooting back to TWRP Recovery from the GU Boot Animation . Wonder if it's because i was on the December update ?. Any had success flashing from December update ?.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ZzEzZ:
I'm also curious as to what makes each Kernel different. I can't really tell what each Kernel does, for example:

This is from Kirisakura.

It sounds good, but I don't know how it would affect my phone.

Five or so Kernels are out for Pixel 3 XL. How do I know which is "best for me?"

So I ask, what do you look for in a Kernel / How should I choose a Kernel?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
IMHO, unless you want to mess around with clock speeds and stuff, stock kernel is just fine.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
I made sure to update to the December update. Well at least the vendor, radio, and BL. The build is targeted towards the December update.

I factory reset, flashed the rom followed by twrp, booted up and set everything up then after it was done then I flashed magisk.

So what I would say is make sure everything is up to date (BL, vendor, and Radio) then make sure that your zip isn't corrupt

If all of the above is good then f reset in twrp, then wipe system. Flash the rom and twrp. Profit?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jawonder:
I was on the latest December update . I Factory Reset Flashed the Rom them flashed TWRP 3.2.3.2 zip. I rebooted and got to the DU boot Animation froze then reboot back to TWRP . What version of TWRP did you use ?. Also i downloaded the DU zip many times and checked the MD5 with different MD5 checker and the MD5 doesn’t match, i get the same MD5 with all the app that i used and it doesn’t match the one generated from the DU download area .

Also do have the December update Bootloader and Radio on both A bad B slots ?.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
Yeah it has to be on both slots. Whenever you flash firmware it should to be to both slots always.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jawonder:
Is there a command that can be used to ensure firmware is flashed to both slots ?.

Edit: Got DU working. I was flashing TWRP 3.2.2.1 zip over 3.2.3.2 image don't know if made any difference but the only thing i changed was to flash TWRP 3.2.3.2 zip after flashing DU and it booted fine
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] DIXZ06:
I chose DU because I didn't need to go back to a month old operating system to get it to install.

Booted to TWRP and did a factory reset. Installed DU zip and rebooted. Set up user and let it settle.

Rebooted to TWRP and installed Kirisakura kernel 1.8.5, and Magisk 18.0.

Rebooted to system and all is well.

Nice ROM, and the kernel is absolutely the best.

JMO!

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Xergi:
Hello,

yes, now we finally found a solution.

Do exactly as described:

Download Settings Database Editor from playstore and open it

Look for hw_networkmode_preference and edit the stock value "9,6,2,1" to "11"

Restart the device

Open Settings Database Editor

Click on + Add new setting at the top

Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes

Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" Germany. Press save changes

Type "hw_add_4g_only" (without " ") and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 6)

Type in your country code, example "502" Malaysia or "262" for Germany and press save changes (YES, REPEAT STEP 7)

Restart the device and VOILA!

Now you have access to ALL network modes. Select "LTE" or "4G" for 4G only functionality.

Like this, you have stable Internet nearly where ever you go, without dropping back to overcrowded 2G/3G Networks.

Best,

Stefan

Mate 20 pro 4g only

Here is what work for me.

If you already had a hauwei phone and used "setedit" and you now upgraded to you Mate 20 pro with using the "phone clone" app.

You will notice the "setedit" app won't be copied over. So head on over to "play store" and download it.

Follow the steps give in this thread to enter all the setting on the "setedit" app.

Restart your device. You will see it didn't work. No problem. Just uninstall the "setedit" app and restart your device.

Now go to your mobile network setting and you will see you will have all the setting for networks including 4g only.

But unfortunately I can't launch Remix OS, When I run the `RemixOS Installation Tool` and choose the `RemixOS x86 20160825 TG.iso` file and select the disk, It starts installing, But when it comes to the 2nd step which says "extract and copy files", I get this error "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, Create an associated in the Default Programs control panel."

^screenshot: prnt.sc/lryt5d

I have "RAR" associated with `.iso` file type.

I get folder extracted called "RemixOS", But when I reboot my computer and choose "Remix OS", I get a black screen with Grub bash line, not Remix OS installation.

Also I tried with `EasyBCD`, But again when I reboot the same screen shows up.

I shrinked 16GB from a Hard Disk(Not C:) and installed Remix OS on that Hard Disk on 32bit Windows 8.1.

How to solve this issue?

After finally receiving Pie today, my Gcam doesn't work correctly anymore. What I mean by this it's that it can't focus properly.

Otherwise the app opens, it doesn't crash, and this phenomenon occurs only on the rear camera while taking a photo. Video focusing works, front camera focus works.

Any ideas?

December 5 security patch

From Arnova's mods to the lates 6.1 Gcam versions, I was affected by this phenomenon

Well, I lost Hal3 during the process.. so GCam doesn't work at all. I'm trying to enable Camera2 API, but it didn't work so far. I've seen tutorials on how to do it through adb, but just doesn't do anything.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] TheUltimateOne:
Try this

-First of all install (Camera2 API Probe)

Open it and check hardware support level (probably it's show LEGACY)

- Now install (Camera2 API Enabler)

open the app and enable:

- Enable Camera2 API

- Enable Camera EIS

Then apply

-Restart your phone

-Open Camera2 API Probe again (you must see new result as the attachment)

Now open your GCam and voila!

Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
