Thanks for the Update, greetings from Mexico !

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

First glance for the udate, clean intall, full wipe & format , latest nano Gapps:

-OTG working, was a kernel issue... /not working.... testing

-Display Google app option on the desktop still with bug , i dont want the google app to the left but the button dont work....

-Google camera is welcome but not that amazing because selfie cam doesn't work (in any rom) so is bloatware for me... only Miui cam is fine for me.

-I consider Bloat Timber, Email and Browser.... And Mix app is very good so why files, its like bloat.... IMO , let us the option to install from the store the music and mail apps...

-The loading screen animation is sick, i had an orgasm, i need something like that for the boot image(start up the phone)...

-Thanks for OTA update implementation, that's for me a feature that makes a ROM a "serious developed OS"..

I don´t know what are the "core" Rom apps and features , i know is not simply like "Hey Dev i want this and this not"... so i simply write my feelings so Dev can read them, this is my main ROM for work, i use my phone all the day (i´m a locksmith in a big city here in Mexico), so i really care about this ROM , the stock launcher, apps...etc.

The Redmi Note 5 pro is cheap now that i would buy another just to install this ROM again...

-edit: USB OTG not detecting

-on one reboot i did touchscreen was disabled until manually lock the phone and unlock(pressing the power buton) an that solved the issue

Thanks Whyred DEV !!!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Joakin2k:
Testing, after some system reboots (just reboot) and power off-on USB OTG worked at random, also a random issue when the touchscreen didn't work until pressing the power button to lock screen then again and it worked....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] YasuHamed:
I keep rejecting this OWESOM rom because the NAVBAR customization doesn't allow to COMPACT those three Button closer!

WHYRED has wide screen or my thumb is to small to NAVIGATE :(

I wish the programmer could include the COMPACT AOSP navbar for me as personal favor :(

Saw the new release on sourceforge...

Can you give the Oreo Bootleggers some love, too, please? Just the security updates is all it needs. ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Joakin2k:
New release

-Bug in hiding google app in Launcher

-No google cam (thanks)... the redmi cam is fine.

-Still random touch malfunction.

-I think that derp is the problem with the touch issue and USB OTG random working...

-Still files and Mix (keep mix and quit files) -AOSP Mail, Timber (audio player), we can choose from the store better options, same for the gallery app.... google photos better IMO or let us install what we want...and Gboard better than AOSP... IMO

Yes.

You can use Aroma OpenGapps to remove those apps you don't want and install, the Google ones in replacement. I have been doing this with all the custom ROMs I install, and it works fine.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Joakin2k:
I remember doing that years ago with my Oneplus One.... a text file that includes/excludes apps for the Gapp package.... but did it work for the own ROMs Apps (AOSP Mail, Timber ) ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mateushonorato:
For some of them, it works, like aosp mail. But I wasn't able to remove the file manager and timber. You could also use magisk + any root uninstaller to remove those apps, and then remove magisk if you don't want root

Have Dirac?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] antonioantuan:
It is getting closer to the perfect rom. I would love for the dialer to allow full-size photography of contacts during phone calls. I would love that all fonts really work (bariol font and others are not implemented). I would love to be able to put a very large circle for the battery icon in the status bar (the circle is too small to place the battery percentage inside), I would love if the customization options were correctly translated into my language (Spanish). I am very happy in this rom. Thanks dev [MENTION=8467192]Adi5[/MENTION]

I'm not looking at single esoteric functions not working well, such as Whatsapp video slow in India, or a certain camera type that someone prefers. And such. I don't know and I don't care.

I look at battery life and overall usability, audio, reception and GPS accuracy. Top notch:good:

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kid1da:
Hello everyone

I have been experiencing force close after force on my Pixel 3xl. I ordered my pixel 3xl on launch day. A week after receiving my device I started to receive sluggish and force close after force in several different apps. I have never experienced android behaving this way. I started to notice that the phone would get sluggish when using Android Messages. When I am receiving an MMS message the phone will lag and then the message will come through. After messages started to act up, other apps such as; Flamingo for Twitter, Instagram and Google plus would force close. For starters I don’t run any app killers, or ram management. I thought the December Pie patch would fix the issue, but I still see it on a daily basis. I reset my phone, and less than a week later, I would see this same behavior. The phone is basically unusable. I contacted Google for an RMA. They processed it and the new phone is still acting this way. This is really odd this behavior would be happening to 2 phones. I have reset the new phone from google once. Not only is this behavior odd, but it would be really hard for me to believe I am the only person experiencing this issue. Thought about rooting it but don't know if that would even help.

Side note: I have noticed when in flamingo for Twitter or Android messages that the phone takes awhile to open or back out of a picture. Sometimes a white space will show near the upper part of the phone (both sides of the notch)

Any help would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Two phones exhibiting the same behavior? It has to be something you are adding (user apps and/or settings) as you set the phone back up. You said "less than a week later" you would see the same behavior- but that means for the first week it was acting normal, correct? Try running the phone in safe mode for a good while and see if the situation changes. If the issue goes away it will confirm it is one or more of your user apps is causing the issue. If it remains the same I would flash a factory image from fastboot mode and let the script wipe the phone (don't edit the script). This is different from a FDR (reset). Then when you set the phone back up add any user apps in stages, allowing a period of time between setting them up. Are there any apps you suspect? Any "non-market" apps? Rooting will not help you, so I would leave that variable out of it until you get the problem sorted.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kid1da:
I don't use Facebook or Snapchat, I know those apps are really tough on the ram, so I stay away from those. I don't install apps that aren't from the play store. The weird part is I've installed the same apps from my pixel 2xl. I don't install alot of apps to begin with. Ive researched people having issues with the Android messages app and there is a Google forum for this issue, however I installed Textra and I still see the issue just not as bad. During the last reset, I took days to install flamingo for Twitterand Instagram because I suspected them being the issue. Yesterday, I installed them and I started facing the issue. I uninstalled those 2 apps but the issue persisted. Now, it could be those apps but to me it would be a widespread issue if it we're those 2.

List of apps

Most Google apps. Gmail, maps etc

Instagram

Backdrops

Flamingo for Twitter

Navy Federal

Wells Fargo

Vanguard

Ally

Vip access

Hbo now

Netflix

Showtime

ESPN

Relay for Reddit

Nova launcher
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I still believe that because you experience this same issue across two different phones, it is something in your personal setup. No abnormal indications under battery usage or data usage (background or foreground)? As suggested earlier try running in safe mode for an extended period. If the problem is gone, you just work your way through the suspect apps until you find the offending one. You can also try resetting all app settings under System>>Reset options before resorting to a clean flash.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kid1da:
I am going to try the safe mode method.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Think Nova launcher. Back it up, uninstall it completely, then see how it goes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] hilla_killa:
I agree has to be a user app, my 3xl doesn't exhibit this issue. My crappy banking app does this but its very poorly optimized. App devs need to catch up to 9.0
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kid1da:
I uninstalled Nova Launcher and did see a slight improvement. The issue came back a few days later though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
What about safe mode?

It's not Nova Launcher. You mention slow picture access so I would be looking at apps in that direction. Any apps consistently FC more than others? Do you use cloud backup for Photos? Do you have any super large photo speres, panos, or RAW photos on your phone?

Edit: another thought would be to run a quick check on the non-Googly apps for "last updated" timestamp on the Play Store. You may be running an older app that hasn't been updated in years and is written with an outdated API.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kid1da:
The only apps force closing more than others are Android messages, flamingo for Twitter, and Instagram. It will start with Android messages, which causes the device to slow down, then the other apps follow by force closing. The device always seems to hang/lag when a group message is coming in. I only back up through Google photos on wifi. I combed through the settings and nothing stands out that could be causing the phone to force close these apps. For now, safe mode has the device working normal.

Since a lot of people have had trouble flashing Custom ROMs, I decided to create a guide that should work on every device (whether A/B partition or not) except on Samsung devices. For bypassing Decryption Issues, adb sideload the .zip files.

GUIDE

I am assuming you have unlocked your Bootloader, flashed TWRP and have some knowledge on ADB.

[This is known as a clean install or clean flash]

Turn off Lockscreen Security

Reboot to Recovery

Factory Reset

Format Data

Copy the .zip files from your PC to your phone / Plug in your USB OTG

Flash the ROM and then the Recovery Installer (No Magisk/SuperSU after)

Reboot to Recovery

Flash GApps and Magisk/SuperSU

Reboot to System

[This is known as a dirty flash]

To update the custom ROM or fix a error (Bootloop after successful first boot, No Service, etc.)

I am assuming you used my guide to flash the custom ROM

These are basically the same steps but without wiping or formatting data

Turn off Lockscreen Security

Reboot to Recovery

Flash the ROM (has to be the same ROM, updated is recommended, older versions may cause issues) and then the Recovery Installer (No Magisk/SuperSU after)

Reboot to Recovery

Flash GApps and Magisk/SuperSU

Reboot to System

LINKS:

Official GApps Website - GApps Github

Official TWRP Website - TWRP Github

Magisk Forum - Magisk Thread - Magisk Github

Official SuperSU Website - SuperSU Forum - SuperSU Thread - SuperSU Github

I recommend the Nano variant of GApps since I have had no error with it.

Enjoy!

[Disabler-ONLY]

`This is basically the same guide just if you want to flash Zackptg5's "Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disablers" or any other disabler which requires different steps.

[This is known as a clean install or clean flash]

Turn off Lockscreen Security

Reboot to Recovery

Format Data

Copy the .zip files from your PC to your phone / Plug in your USB OTG

Flash the ROM and then the Recovery Installer (No Magisk after)

Reboot to Recovery

Flash the Disabler, Magisk and then GApps

Reboot to System

Profit

Dirty Flash? You can't. Usually when using a Disabler you have to clean install your custom ROM.

To update use the method in the first post but for step number 5 Flash the Disabler, Magisk and then GApps
[Android General] dpryor88:
This is a bit much to do. Just use twinnfamous' twrp and you can flash a custom easily. Plus, I flash havoc over crdroid, then back and forth again. So you can flash over. Just have to wipe data and cache after ROM flash and twrp flash then reboot to recovery.

Basically:

Fastboot boot twrp (twinnfamous' 0.7)

Be on 9.0.7 firmware as most custom ROMs use this base right now I think..

Anyway, then flash twrp (twinnfamous' 0.7 installer zip)

Reboot to recovery

Now flash custom ROM

Flash twrp zip

Reboot to recovery

(You'll now be on the opposite slot as before, which means you are on the slot which your new custom ROM was installed)

Wipe > custom > data and cache wipe

Install opengapps nano and magisk 18.0

Reboot system

You'll boot right into the ROM setup screen with no decryption issues along the way as long as you do exactly as I said.

Have fun flashing!
[Android General] _Masked_:
You wasted that post just for this? I assure you that my tutorial guarantees success when using a official or unofficial version of TWRP or custom ROM, I also used the method you posted about but it did not work. Also what do you mean by "9.0.7"?

The GApps version you use doesn't have to be Nano and Magisk doesn't have to be v18.0. I'm sure you just copy-pasted this, my method should always succeed. The TWRP doesn't have to be from [MENTION=4668255]twinnfamous[/MENTION] , it can be from any developer. This is not a OnePlus 6T only guide.
[Android General] Ashwinrg:
This flashing process is difficult in my view. Why are you making the simple custom rom flashing process so difficult for the noobs.
[Android General] dpryor88:
Why are you angry? Haha.

And you linked this from the op6t forums so I'm commenting on that phone. And that's how it's done on that phone. And it does matter which twrp you use for THAT phone because one doesn't decrypt correctly.

Copy and paste? No... And nano is always best if you read xda basically anywhere. Not that I said you HAVE to use nano anyway.. it was just in my steps. And that works for me with any/every ROM. So don't be so opposed to other suggestions. Your method is really weird and involves way too much use of a computer/fastboot. Kind of defeats the purpose of using twrp, don't you think?
[Android General] raiderep:
What is making it difficult is encryption/decryption not working right in twrp yet (just a guess). I was having a hell of a time getting anywhere myself and kept getting my storage all jumbled from encryption until I found this thread which put it together for me with the adb sideload part, that bypasses encryption or at least lets you flash what you want when the folder names get all wonky.

Thanks OP for laying it out so clearly for me, I am an old dinosaur that was hesitating on messing with this a/b nonsense until I got my 6T and got the itch again. My trusty dusty nexus 6 is so much easier but it's also been around and has one system and a solid twrp for it.

Cheers! :good:
[Android General] _Masked_:
Sorry for the late reply, but yes this is for bypassing TWRP Decryption issues.
[Android General] ayed78:
this step means need do with pc not by twrp
[Android General] _Masked_:
This is to bypass Decryption issues.
[Android General] _Masked_:
I mean I could make a tool for flashing a custom ROM but I'm sure that there's a tool for that already.
[Android General] _Masked_:
bump. (ignore)
[Android General] Krullendhaar:
So when are we required to wipe system in addition to just a factory reset? And when do we need to format data?
[Android General] _Masked_:
Just follow the steps, in order.
[Android General] I5WsRcGXFSPHLBFtjNxBXkd2:
Hi.

What if I want to flash a custom kernel on a clean Rom flash? When should I do it? Together with Magisk and Gapps?
[Android General] Santi3598:
What do you mean by "Recovery Installer"? That's the only thing I don't understand.

Thank you for this guide.
[Android General] Gabrech:
Same here, I do not understand why I should flash a recovery img when twrp does seem to stay installed after flashing everything. Maybe the custom rom I use does include twrp ?
[Android General] elenaaustin87:
Custom rom means bugs, possible privacy leak and overall less polished. Developer that are working on them are fantastic but they are most of the time nowhere near as what offer the stock one.

What you need is to check adb, doesn't need root but you can still remove apps (even system one) and do more tweaks.

If needed, check how to patch boot image with magisk, it works on all phone and get you root.

With that, you're free to debloat your device.
[Android General] Gabrech:
Hey just one little question: is it ok to dirty flash with encrypted data folder ?
[Android General] Waweo:
Me neither, is it safe to assume that the step can be left out if TWRP is already there and I use it to flash the ROM?

+1
[Android General] chatoid:
This thread was great fun, Thanyou. Was like reading/watching a mid morning soap opera xD

Only thing that confused me was why you need to plug in an OTG during the installation process?

Doesn't the new rom give OTG functionality if it's not plugged in or something?
[Android General] _Masked_:
hey, just came back to xda from a long break. OTG is a choice, you can use your PC or an OTG
[Android General] Nevaran:
What does step 6 mean in the clean install? the "And then recovery installer" part
[Android General] ThiccWooper:
Followed this guide, and I think I can safely assume that the recovery installer is in reference to the TWRP-installer.zip(available for download on the official website and is a separate file from the TWRP.img), which you flash after the custom rom has been flashed!

Thanks to the op :D
[Android General] sushiada:
hi, every time i attempt to install a custom ROM i always loose access to my SIM, gives me a 'SIM not detected error' and upon further investigation i found out that it was because the IMEI number(s) became null/invalid...now i've attempted to install custom ROMS on moto g4 and g5s plus, could this issue be common with only moto phones? Or is it because of the SIM i'm using (the service provider) ? Or am i missing something every time i flash a custom ROM?
[Android General] mrgtw:
Some custom rom mention the need certain firmware versions. If I'm in a custom rom and need to update to another rom how to update firmware. Im asking this because I'm new to this stuff
[Android General] xdajbsolis:
So

So your point is to factory reset and then wipe is that it?

I see so factory reset is for the settings to default maybe but makes sense.

But what I don't get is the RECOVERY installer thing, I mean do you really need to flash recover all over again wiping? I'm using orange fox recovery, so I need to FLASH it using CMD via pc again every time I perform a clean wipe?
[Android General] themilkeyway:
You know what I hate? Assumptions. If you are going to call something a "guide" then damn guide! Not everyone is a damn expert or even a mediocre wiz so next time you "guide", you need to do it to the lowest possible denominator - yes, that is "stupid". If you type it and your brain goes, "well, they should know that", then that means you must explain it. Any lazya** can halfa** write down crap and call it a guide. You want to guide?? then do it. Explain it. If along the way, you thing it is too much and you do not want to "bother yourself" then do not.

"I am assuming you have unlocked your Bootloader, flashed TWRP and have some knowledge on ADB."

How is this a guide??? what is Bootloader, what is flashed TWRP? and why should I have knowledge in ADB if I AM LOOKLING FOR A GUIDE??
[Android General] kunty:
It's called putting in the effort if it's worth it to you, otherwise why are you even reading this? I really appreciated this guide as it was exactly what I was looking for, how to do a clean install regardless of which of the thousand android devices you have. If you're not willing to learn you shouldn't be messing with any of this anyway cuz you'll likely end up with a brick. So don't cry and get to work... Or don't whatever.

Thanks for the guide OP
