Hey mate, one thing that's been annoying me that I hope you can assist with.

Recents menu, Clear all button sits under the nav bar making it impossible to click.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stebomurkn420:
You gonna have to change your navbar or recents configuration...

Since yesterday I can't update apps through app store. Showing me error 910. Never had that before. Any idea what can cause this?!

Even clearing cache and storage of all Google apps do not work.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miffymiffy:
Not sure if its relevant, but [MENTION=4350964]Flinny[/MENTION] got the edge gestures to work on the u11 on AOSP/Slim. Maybe there are similarities to work with.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Segnale007:
This ROM looks quite good. Is there away to swap back and recent nav buttons? Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bryanx86:
Yep
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Segnale007:
Seen that thanks.

However I would like to have that on stock mode. Just moving the back button to the right side.

I wish that could be added. Let me know if is there any workaround for doing that.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hilla_killa:
You can swap on stock as well, custom navigation bar from play store with or without root!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Segnale007:
That's exactly what I used on stock, however I am getting an error which says it is incompatible with the rom being used, and therefore all its functionalities are disabled...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gogoffm:
I would like to see full gesture mode in next built. Just to have the pill......no back button .

I just tried installing the latest update but i still have no service. I'm on Fi with esim. I've only been able to find 2 custom builds that work on Decembers update. Is it me or is this not compatible?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hilla_killa:
Latest magisk? If not rooted did you grant permission via adb? If you have any other nav bar mods installed try to uninstall them. Contact the app dev, im sure he or she would be happy to help. We got exactly the same phone and mine works perfectly!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Segnale007:
In the end I ran the following command as root

# settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"

I'm kinda copying my post from the pixel 3 forum since that thread is pretty dead.

I've been using this for about a week and so far I'm pretty impressed. I have a few questions though. It's possible that I missed options somewhere.

1. The time stamp text on notifications is really small. Is there a way to make it bigger? Everything else has the right text size, just not the time.

2. Is there a way to change the color of the google feed to black while keeping the default launcher that comes with the ROM?

3. Also, the google feed stops responding to touch, other than scrolling.

Edit: The launcher problems seem to be happening a lot now. After clicking on an article in the feed, or even an app icon in a folder, nothing happens. Then eventually when I open something else the article or app I was trying to open before opens instead.

Thanks for the hard work!

Anyone planning to flash new security update?I feel like I just about got through the proceeds of flahing twro, custom ROM and root and very happy with current set up. Anxious to go fiddling with trying to update to new security update . Also this ROM is excellent, thank you to all the DEVS.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dej1i:
Time gets cutoff on lockscreen

Every now and then, the time on the lockscreen gets cut off on the left and right side. Might be limited to just fonts with bigger sizes like road rage though...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] forty9er:
great rom but for some reason i keep loosing root i have to re flash magisk thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 12Fully:
Might just be a Magisk thing. I've had it happen on ROMs on this phone and the Pixel 2. You shouldn't have to reflash Magisk. A simple reboot should do the trick!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kos26:
I've been having this happen as well but a reboot does solve the issue temporarily. Not sure what the real issue is.

New build is out, 2019-01-09 ! 家

For more information about the 4.0 version, please visit this post on the official Bootleggers website.

Concerning our device, this build has been updated with the latest security update. (January 2019)

More information in the Pixel Update Bulletin about this patch.

Check OP for download link and flashing instructions. Enjoy the ROM !
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Daisymae:
Tried to update. Wiped cache\dalvic and system. Installed latest 1-9 ROM and TWRP. Keeps getting stuck on purple startup screen! Same with fresh install.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gogoffm:
Just flashed the update and worked with out any issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] crincron:
I'm currently using the bootleggers ROM. In order to update do I need to flash the latest factory image before updating the ROM or just flash the ROM directly?Thanks, sorry for being noob ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gogoffm:
if you are on previous bootleggers then check OP.

Updating :

Don't forget to remove any Substraum overlays before updating

1. Reboot to TWRP

2. Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache & System

3. Flash the ROM zip

4. Flash the TWRP install zip (in order to keep TWRP after reboot)

If you are not rooted, you just have to reboot system

If you are rooted using Magisk:

-> Reboot to recovery (TWRP)

-> Flash Magisk zip

-> Reboot system
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] crincron:
Thanks, was just unsure because in the "pre requisite" section it says make sure you have latest factory image installed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] crincron:
Updated to latest version and everything working fine. I like the new boot animations. However only 2 out of 3 work ok, the 3rd one which has a purple cloudy background and bootleggers logo didnt work for me, screen froze and had to reboot the device. Anyone else with this issue? Had to reboot the device a few times for substratum overlays so thats how I got to cycle through all bootanimations.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Old Man Dave:
That boot ani is a known issue... Still being worked on, I'm sure.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hatdrc:
Does anyone know what LTE+ is supposed to be? I never had it till I flashed this rom. Seems to be a slower speed. I changed my preferred network from global to LTE but it still seems to come up. I'll have to update it when I get home and see tomorrow if that changes.

I'm on T-MOBILE
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kos26:
I was having this problem too, go to /system/media and remove bootanimation2.zip. At least that's the one I was having issues with. I renamed 3 to 2.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DarkPhoenix:
Rebooting doesn't fix it for me, I have to reinstall it about once a day.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gogoffm:
I am getting again the Google Play Store error 910. But only for Google Apps like eSim Manager , Google app for example. I already cleared caches, log out/in of google account etc. Still there.

EDIT: and push notifications from WhatsApp , Gmail, Telegram coming now with huge delay. I have first time restored apps with Titanium. Can this might be the problem?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Phreshlatinstyle:
Losing root as well. Prompted for magisk update at least once a day. Update to version 18 but it was flashed already

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_Taylor40:
Hey,

I've been looking other this forum and other sites and cant find anythin of use.

Basically I'm wanting to know if there is a way to test a ROM without having to install it onto a phone/PDA.

As I've been looking at buying a new HTC QTEK 8500 (StrTrk) for my girlfriend as she's sick of her phone and wants a new one. The phone comes with WM 5.0 on but I have found a few ROMs for WM 6.1 and before I buy the phone I want to checkout the ROM to see what it'll basically be like to use the phone.

What software do I need to be able to emulate a phone to test run a ROM?

This would be useful for others as well if its a generic way as then everyone can test out a ROM and then decide if they want to flash it to their device.

Thanks alot for the help,

M_Taylor40
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hchavarria:
i don't know how useful emulating the rom would be since the experience would differ based on hardware. Most developers post what apps their rom contain so users know what their getting into before.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_Taylor40:
Yeah you are right, just my girlfriend is a bit picky about her stuff and I don't want to spend £70 on a new phone for her not to like it lol.

Just thought it would be useful tho, I'm pretty sure you would be able to do it with the Windows Mobile 6.1 SDK kit and Visual Studio just don't have a clue how lol.

M_Taylor40
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hchavarria:
I also think that with the SDK and visual studio you might get an idea although based on my very little experience with programming, the only way to know the output is testing it on the real thing. I would say that if she likes the phone originally with WM5 then you can test a WM6 or 6.1 ROM and if you don't like it then flash back to WM5. Many people (including myself) flash all the time to find the best ROM for them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_Taylor40:
Lol, thats the thing, I aint bought the phone yet so she can only go off my Kaiser to see what WM6.1 is on there (She aint gettin as good a phone as me lol!)

She likes the look of the phone but I think she wants drivin lessons instead lol, see wot it goes for on ebay lol, was £15 I saw last night!

Thanks anyway!

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] megabass2:
I have a nrd90m firmware test as a result of a problem. I downloaded a full ota package as a solution from the firmware finder.

I want to ask if I install this firmware I lose all the data or not?

Another question if I wanted to install a custom rom instead, which would be the most suitable between openkirin or lineageos? Currently I have emui 5.

I have bootloader unlocked, root and twrp
[Blu Vivo XL] billybleu97:
I've been searching and searching for a way to root my l Vivo XL3Plu and so far have only come up with instructions to install TWRP With qualcom flash software - the instructions replace the recovery.img in the Stock ROM file with the TWRP.img and the flash the phone. We don't have the stock ROM but I think I found a clone that might work (wiko XL plus) I've downloaded all the required files to test this. As I only have one phone to try it on I can't afford to fail. So I'm asking if anyone who has already bricked their phone would want to try this method of restoring functionality back to their phone and have TWRP installed..as wel as maybe be able to install Magisk and root it too. Pease contact me and I will upload and send link to so you can give it a go. (all files,drivers,software, and instructions zipped - 1.99 Gb)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Arthur Winchest:
I'm on AEX 4.6 and I'd like to know if there's a way to restore stock via TWRP? if so, plz give me the link to download the rom. Unfortunatly, my miflash is crashing and making EDL method not usable. (Sorry for the english)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
well, miflash is not the only one, you could also try EDL Tool from right here (ROMs, kernels, development thread).

But yeah, you can. I wonder why you are still in AEX 4.6, but I guess you still haven't got a vendor partition. If that's the case just download a flashable zip of the stock ROM that you want (would've been real handy if you told us what model you have) and flash it away
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
Dont update to treble ,it will cause problems
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
because you think you have problems, i guess?

I wonder who said to update to treble though
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Arthur Winchest:
I've a A2017G, I'm sorry but I didn't get it the vendor part. And another question, will I have to wipe my internal too??
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I'm just saying that you are on an ancient ROM. What's that AEX version, Nougat?

Right now I'm on AEX 6.0 Pie. But yeah, i was just curious.

You will probably need to format your internal storage, but maybe you won't need it. Just do this: After installing the ROM (whatever you decide, EDL Tool or TWRP) install Magisk too, BEFORE BOOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME (If EDL Tool, simply flash the ROM, then tell it not to reboot, flash TWRP, enter TWRP, and flash Magisk; if directly from TWRP just flash magisk right away). This will prevent your internal storage from getting encrypted.

Remember to WIPE DATA AND CACHE BEFORE FLASHING

Anyhow if your phone asks you for a password that doesn't really exist when you try to boot, you'll have to format the internal storage

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hakkai999:
If you're like me and swap batteries constantly, always wait for your V20 to shutdown completely. I've had my phone bork out twice now because I didn't wait for the phone to shutdown. It essentially wiped both the recovery and my system and my phone was stuck in Firmware Update mode.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] pistacios:
I swap between 3 batteries with my US996 for about a year now. Never had an issue, but I always wait till the backlight goes out after shutdown.

Thanks for the heads up. Now that my wife also has a US996 with spare batteries, we'll see if she can be patient enough to let it shutdown before the swap, lol.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] runningnak3d:
Something is wrong with your phone.

The recovery partition is read only, and on top of that, isn't even accessed when the phone is booted normally.

The system partition is also read only.

Android was designed to do minimal damage in the event of sudden power loss. The worst that should happen is maybe a file gets corrupt on the userdata partition.

Bottom line, if partitions are being wiped or corrupted .. you have a hardware problem.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
I don't swap batteries too often but i have a spare battery. It just sits on the table. I've noticed recently that it was slightly bloated and wondered why.

How does a battery just sitting there for months become bloated on its own ?

The V20's battery is pretty thin so a little bulge is noticeable. The plastic case it came in still closes so i suppose i will use that as a gauge to how long i can use it.

I'm disappointed and maybe have to get another spare battery
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hakkai999:
Not really sure if it is or how it happens but I promise it only happens if I don't wait for it to turn off completely. If it helps, I'm using an H990DS rooted and running the flashable oreo.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hakkai999:
Yeah it's better to be careful about it. It might just be particular with my phone or my version of V20 (H990DS).
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I'm on the H918 and I do a 50/50 mix of just pulling the battery out while it's still on instead of shutting down and shutting it down somwtimes and I've never lost anything or ever had that happen to my phone, even on my older galaxys and notes that I still have. Something on your phone definitely seems messed up.

Speaking of battery bulges. My tech orbit battery just started bulging enough to pop the back piece off but I had it in a case so didn't notice till I took the case off one day. Oddly enough the fingerprint sensor stopped working completely and there were a few other oddities as well that were resolved and/or started working again after I got a new battery. Very weird.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] thirdzcee:
Did you fully charge that battery. Lithium ion batteries aren't supposed to be stored with full capacity
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Possibly, i didn't realise that fully charging could result in bloating :(
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] androiddiego:
Any bulge at all is a bad battery. Don't use it. It will only get worse.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Redline:
This. You run the risk of it exploding if you do.

As a general rule, Li-Ion batteries shouldn't be stored at max capacity, in a cold environment or for months on end uncharged.

Any of these things (especially max capacity in a warm environment) kills the battery quite fast.

As a sidenote to OP, you should probably also do a full charge/discharge cycle after swapping a battery in while the phone is on, i.e charge it from as close to 0% as possible with the phone powered up.

Actual vs advertised battery capacity is different in every one, it's like silicon lottery with processors, GPUs, SSDs, etc. Every battery has a slightly different one, and if you swap a 3200mah one out for another 3200mah one that has an ACTUAL capacity that is lower (maybe because it's a lower-grade knock-off battery) Android will shut down prematurely, because it thinks there's still power left in the battery when there actually isn't.

This is more-so an issue when going from an extended battery to a regular one, but you get the idea.

You can use AccuBattery to check the real capacity of your battery after a full discharge/charge cycle.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] oplix:
While the upgrade from Nougat to Oreo is something that many people anxiously awaited, I am going to explain how Android, and Samsung in particular, don't care if one, two, or half the features of your older phone are broken in the process.

The underlying factor is this: (and you are probably not going to like hearing it). Your phone will not receive the same quality of support after the first year (and first OS upgrade). While some aspects of usability might improve, phones such as the S7 (and the galaxy line in general) have much more complicated features that will not receive the same polish as when the code first shipped.

GearVR is a great example. In Nougat, GearVR was properly optimized. That means that the APIs of the software which are responsible for things like battery optimization, CPU usage optimization, etc etc are all aligned with the hardware. This is because the device, when new, has to be perfect in order for these features to be taken serious (cough bixby cough) and not eventually lead to negative press.

However, given that the phone is several years old, many users will continuously anticipate new OS updates, clinging on to the idea that their phone will become "new" again. This simply isn't true.

GearVR on S7 using Oreo is a complete mess. The phone has no more continuity when it comes to power/battery optimization. I immediately started noticing very fast overheating when I upgraded to Oreo. This could also be telling that the root of the problem is that the OS, however way it was changed, can no longer or is not profitable anymore to be optimized for the hardware. What is even worse is that the later updates of Oreo completely block the user from reverting back to Nougat. (thank god I didn't have the later upgrades and was able to revert the software back). This is likely because the manufacturer does not want the user to be able to go back to older software and claim the exact thing I am explaining here. (This is usually conflated as an excuse of the older OS no longer being "supported").

GearVR is just an example. Another example is Samsung constantly interfering with specific apps that block their ever evolving bloatware. Once you update to a new OS, there is zero guarantee that any of your previous apps will work. (You can find out the hard way just look at the ridiculous situation with something like Package Disabler). The bloatware being something which the manufacturer can insert during an update without the user even being aware of it.

I want to point out that I re-installed Oreo several times on the S7 and every time it exhibited the same symptoms of bad coding. I've gone back to Nougat and everything works as it should.

The bottom line is that you should stop trusting any Android phone manufacturer to provide the same QUALITY of updates past the 12-18 month period. Do your research. If you heavily use a feature of the phone, make sure that you don't blindly expect that feature to work as well after the update.

I own a Galaxy S9 plus about two month..

Now I need to know how good is the camera, screen & sound quality on OnePlus 6T?

If any one have any suggestions please help me..

you can find a magisk module for viper or dolby

gcam works great and will do you well in regards to reproducing great colors

the screen is dimmer but imo I like my screen dimmer so that I do not burn my eye sockets with beams of light

I do miss the curved amoled display, but have got over it bc of the the 6.4 inch display with minimal bezals.

Battery will be twice as good when compared to s9 plus, mainly due to custom kernels.

the speaker is plenty loud enough for media consumption
