Has anyone experienced problems regarding the notification LED?

I am getting the LED when my charger is plugged in but I am unable to get the LED to blink when notifications are arriving. I've tried the usual Pie specific things (Custom restrictions etc.) and DND is off. But I don't get the notification to blink.

Thanks, Liam. I'm glad to get a fresh build. Why does it say "No mirrors found" when I try to download, though?

Well, I know why it says that. It's because no mirrors are found. My real question is, "Why are there no mirrors?" or "How can I download this (Gapps version, please)?

EDIT (Update): I'm getting a mirror for the nogapps version, so I'm downloading that. Can I just install standard OpenGapps, latest version (from April 4, 2019)?

Thank you!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swiftbones74:
FYI I was having a hard time getting the play store to show device certified on the last few builds. I found that flashing the Gappless version fixed this problem for me. Hopefully this helps someone else.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liamtw22:
Hi everyone, here is a new build!

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397936295

I have a few quick updates. Firstly, the ROM now includes the April security patch. Additionally, I have decided to stop releasing both gapps and no-gapps variants of the ROM. This is because the gapps package I have been using has been causing some errors (for example, the google camera crashing and the play store not showing device certified), and that it is too resource intensive to build both variants for each release. So, I recommend flashing the opengapps nano package if you want gapps, it should help fix some bugs and provide you with the latest gapps.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JimmyCash030:
thanks. installed and running into a problem now:

when screen is locked i cant unlock it anymore. the screen is quickly switchig off when i put my finger on the scanner or try to enter the first digit of the pin.

plus there is a green circle on the screen, no clue why and what it does. pressing on it brings nothing. only hard reboot helps me out of the lock screen.

played around and saw that deactivating fingerprint helps. new fingerprint setup brings the issue back.

any ideas why that happens?

cheers
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RogerF81:
[MENTION=6508440]liamtw22[/MENTION] Yep I can confirm this, clean flash. Once the phone is locked, I can't unlock anymore. The fp scanner recognizes my finger, but the screen turns just black for a second and then shows the lock screen. Swiping up on the lockscreen to enter the pin does also not work.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liamtw22:
Sorry this is happening everyone. The initial source code for in display fingerprint readers was implemented into liquid, but it seems to be causing some errors. Let me see if there is anywhere in settings this can be disabled, and if not, I'll build again with that commit reverted.

Yes, everything works well now! Only one thing: When I do a screenshot, the preview, when I pull down the notifications, is blank. On the previous build, I could see he image of the actual screenshot. :confused:

thank you for Very Smooth Rom. Using Liquid on Oneplus 6 and Pixel Xl and this unofficial gets first April 2019 security patch.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] canezila:
FYI incase it's relavent, but I am one flash behind, I have an issue upon reboot that fp scanner recognized me but just loops a circle. Never unlock or get to desktop. It only works with my pin unlock.

All is fine just knowing that I use pin 1st. Then either way until rebooted.

if i am reading this correctly this is a nonissue

every device ive had a figerprint unlock with requiers either the pin or passwrd on reboot... including an iphone, my windows laptop and my mac laptop

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swiftbones74:
I don't think that you are reading this correctly. The build before this had an issue with the fingerprint scanner. This problem has been fixed now. This phone doesn't need a password or pin to reboot.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] canezila:
I probably didn't write clearly enough. And since it's fixed now I am good.

But I have a question for the dev of this thread.

Lawnchair was the default homescreen last build. I believe it's not in the current build. I loved how you had it setup with the search bar and Google to the left swipe similar to the pixel Launcher. So my question is how did you enable this?

I have everything backed up with titanium so it might be saved there.

Thanks for your time in producing this rom. It's really great.

only thing i realized is that RAM consumption in idle mode (no open apps in background) is higher than before.

previous build i had around 1.9k MB free RAM, now it stays around 1.6k MB.

play store status device not certified

Flashed the no gapps version and installed latest nanogapps, playstore says device isn't certified and I can't get netflix, it says the app is not compatible with my device. Is your gapps version with nanogapps? Is this an issue with this rom? I perform same exact flash with latest stable official AOSiP and nanogapps and device status in play store shows certified. Both roms I'm using magisk 19.

I will try the gapps version later and report back.

Edit: Both roms installed after fastboot flash of latest Essential April rom.

Edit 2: Does this rom support f2fs data partition?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dazeone:
Did you clear play store data? Can try that
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pawelmiernik:
The real MVP! Thanks!

Are you the guy that runs the TWRP project for these phones? What is the ultimate guide to get the touch screen to work on the latest stock rom? I have this one twrp-sep.img file that I use that I found when I first ran into the problem with the touch screen not working in twrp then in the rom. The file I have is the one I initially flash to the opposite slot and reboot into it after making that slot active and install the patcher, but because I can't find the source of that file anymore I want to use the official. I'm thinking that maybe after flashing the official latest twrp image to the opposite slot I should then flash the stock boot image back before running the patcher, is that correct? No guides seem to point to that, but it makes sense to me. I'm assuming since I replace stock boot image with twrp initially I'm patching the twrp image and stock image when the patch zip runs, so when I update a rom (like what happened with AOSiP for me after I updated it with another official stable release) the phone just kept rebooting into twrp and had no touch, finally when I got it to boot the rom from the inactive slot the rom had not touch and I was back to square one. If you're not the guy then sorry for wasting your time.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dazeone:
Make sure both slots are on the updated stock firmware of pie. https://youtu.be/DaMV63D9n70 then install TWRP https://youtu.be/NDKpk3iAf7k be sure to grab the correct image for the update you'll be on. Also grab the installer zip which I think you already have. Once you've done that, you can install ROMs and installer immediately after that to keep twrp. Sounds like 1 partition is on old firmware or you're using old boot image to give the no touch issue.

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mostafa Wael:
Right so I have been using this wonderful ROM for quite a while now (decrypted, F2FS) and I seem to encounter a quite weird bug that causes random reboots. Occasionally, on mobile data, internet connection speed comes to a stall where it fails to load any webpages at all. Once I disable the mobile data and enable it again, the phone goes straight into a random reboot after a couple of seconds. Of course, after the phone boots up again, everything is fine.

So far I've struggled to detect any pattern here. The issue is completely random. Unfortunately I don't see anything in /sys/fs/pstore as a reference.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] knift:
I used to encounter random/unknown reboot before while in this rom. Sometime when I pick up the phone and it was in first boot pin login mode and can't login with fingerprint.

Very odd issue just started this morning. Updated to latest build of Liquidremix and magisk yesterday morning and it was working fine all day and night until an hour ago when it suddently rebooted and now will boot, allow unlock (if you leave it locked it is fine at the lock screen forever) and once unlocked it will reboot after 20-30 seconds. Occationally see some notices that my account needs updating for google play services so wondering if a google update broke something?

Anyone have an idea where I can start considering it wont stay up for more than 20-30s once unlocked? Reflash?

For me the Kernel that came with the new May ROM, was always keeping the phone awake. Deep Sleep was around 40% ...in the march build it was always around 90% when I did nothing. So I restored the March Kernel I backed up and it is good again. Strange...do you know why?

opensource

Hi there. Sorry for the stupid question, but is the source for the mata build available. I wanted to see if I could fix a few issues I found. Also I noticed that powered off fast charging is broken in the march build. I don't know, but I could post a logcat output if necessary. From what I have seen, I believe that because the fast charger is pd, it has to enter a higher power state after recieving a signal, and the offline boot state fails to properly send the signal, or it gets screwed up somewhere along the way, leading to a forced reboot. Honestly I don't know exactly how offline charging is supposed to work or why it causes a forced reboot and powers on the device, but that is my speculation.

---From Microsoft Translator ---
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JimmyCash030:
this way always works for me:

1. install update

2. install twrp installer

5. reboot to system

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JimmyCash030:
hmm that is strange...are you installing anything else in this process or using any application with root changing system configs?

i would delete them all and restore before doing the install
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jowandrys:
You can try the exact process as the previous comment, but do not install the magisk root

Here are the step that you may follow:

1) - Go to Wipe

2)- Advance Wipe

3)- select the first 3 slots (EXCEPT INTERNAL STORAGE)

4)- Then wipe

5)- Go to Install

6)- Go to the folder where is located the Rom and the TWRP

7)- Install the LiquidRemix, Rom, then install TWRP

8)- After the installation, go back to the main Menu

9)- Go to system

10)- Select recovery (It will say that there is not OS installed don't worry swipe reboot recovery).

11)- After your phone is rebooted you can install the Gapps if you install the rom without the gapps included. (If you install the rom with the gapps included you don't need to do this step).

12)- Go to system and the reboot to system, it will ask if you want to install the Trwp app select do not install.

Try this step and let me know if that works. :good:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 冰糖葫芦娃:

3. reboot to recovery

4. install magisk

5. reboot to system
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liamtw22:
Do you let the phone fully boot after you installed the twrp installer? You want to fully boot into the rom before flashing magisk, or a bootloop, like you have described, may occur.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 冰糖葫芦娃:
Because of the reason of machine translation, it becomes difficult to understand the original meaning of statement expression, but I generally read what you mean, is to start the system before installing Magisk? If it can be started, can you enter the recovery brush into the magisk.zip?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liamtw22:
Yes, you are correct. The system must be fully booted before magisk is flashed.
