Fingerprint is working in Blissrom.

What I have noticed is, BlissROM behaves more stable when it is flashed on the Stock .45 firmware. Why I tried to flash Bliss on PE9 I had some instability issues.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] rafyvitto:
My issue was encryption, messed up the fingerprint, issue is that since blissrom is aosp based, deleting the a2dp config from /vendor/etc does not fix Bluetooth incall audio, it only works on caf based roms, i like to answer calls on my Bluetooth headset ?, staying with RR, just need to keep trying to fix Bluetooth audio and it will perfect.

Is it just me or has everyone lost 4k recording when using GSI?

any workarounds?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
Currently no GSI supports 4k recording as per my reckoning.

@rafyvitto

I am facing a new issue.

I flashed phh AOSP, and then i followed the steps mentioned in OP to enable VoLTE, but the system crashes. I doesn't even boot the system, it straight away goes to recovery with an error screen mentioning unable to boot system and there are 2 options. 1. Try Again. 2. Format Data. No matter whichever option i select, it again goes back to error screen.

Until now pushing ims.apk and editing build.prop used to work on all the GSIs, but now i have tried it on Bliss, AOSP, AOISP, LineageOS, PixelExperience, PixelDust, all the ROMs behave exactly same.

Currently I'm on latest offical build.

Please help.

Also i'd appreciate if someone can share the boot.img from the latest .50 firmware, i have limited data to download the whole firmware.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] mmahith18:
Since u have flashed so many... You would be knowing which is better and which isn't

Which is the most stable GSI that I can flash....
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
1. PixelExperience - Used it as a daily driver for more than a month, very stable. Unfortunately, updating it is a tedious process because dirty flashing never system causes system crash.

2. BlissROM - very stable, snappy but lacks the charm of a Pixel Device. Only pico and smaller gapps package can be flashed, as the system takes a huge space in BlissROM.

Rest all GSIs are more or less similar in experience. PixelDust doesn't boot up, phh AOSP has no VoLTE even after pushing ims and editing build.prop
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] rafyvitto:
That sounds like a vendor mismatch, im going to upload the. 50 pie vendor so you can flash it, along with the boot. Img tomorrow if possible , also i have an idea for updating gsi's without wiping, will test in the next few days,.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
Great. You can PM me the steps if you don't have the time to do that. I will revert with the results.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] mmahith18:
Awesome :svetius:
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] rafyvitto:
Am at work right now sorry, but to get you out of that state, you can flash the pie fastboot rom, it will revert you back to stock, you would only need to reflash twrp and restore a working nandroid, it could probably also be fixed by simply reflashing the vendor partiton but i dont have access to my computer to upload the latest vendor image.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
I already flashed the fastboot ROM. No worries. Weekend is here and Winter is coming as well. LOL.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] rafyvitto:
Made an oreo vendor flashable zip, to try it with gsi, but it does not work, we have to downgrade the device completely to oreo firmware and everything, in oreo firmware bluetooth audio works, but im not going to downgrade my device just to have bluetooth audio working on gsi, so i will continue to try and fix a2dp with pie vendor on gsi, i also tried making an updatable zip for gsi's but it simply does not work, we have to wait for phh to implement OTA flashing for gsi's.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
Does the GSIs seem to be more stable on Oreo Vendor than Pie vendor.?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] rafyvitto:
No, they are more stable with pie vendor.

Hi, I have ZE620KL treble A-only

if I want to flash RR7.0 GSI, I need to unlock bootloader (with apk app), flash TWRP, flash my rom, flash gapps, but do I need to switch partition (is it possible with A-only?) and run "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" ? And does vbmeta.img work for Zenfone 5 (not Z)?

Because on RR7.0 GSI thread flashing instruction dont include switching partion and disable verification with vbmeta
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] rafyvitto:
Procedure is the same for that device, and yes you can stay in slot A, i my self stay on twrp(from your device if it has one) slot, no issue what so ever, vbeta.img has to be from your device .
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] Milouz57:
Thanks, where can i find vbmeta for ZE620KL?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
Erfan's newer MIUI GSI is a port of Poco F1, earlier port was from Mi Mix3. Newer version is more stable, VoLTE working by default, Open Camera works. Only problem is Google Apps do not work (stock Google apps are already included in the ROM). I tried to flash pico and nano gapps, I get error 70, I tried to re-partition the system but it doesn't help.

Everything works great, but I use Google apps a lot, can't us either as my daily driver.

Any inputs that can help me run Google apps on MIUI (data works).

I don't use wireless earphones, so I did not check it. But Bluetooth does gets turned on.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] rafyvitto:
You would need to download your stock firmware from asus, then download payload dumper, extract payload.bin from your firmware zip, then drag and drop payload.bin into payload_input then execute payload dumper, this will output vbeta.img ,system.img etc
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] rafyvitto:
I will test got some bluetooth headsets here.

In Descendant TwoDotTwo if i install IMS apk phone network goes off and keeps on rebooting, how to get volte then? I just added build.prop lines and also enabled voenabler in magisk. how to get volte in this rom?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] hamzasr:
Please follow the following steps:

1. Don't use the Magisk module (VoEnabler). If you have already added the module, remove it and restart.

2. Install ims.apk as a user app, the network bar with LTE icon will appear in few seconds.

If you are unable to do it (due to constant reboot), re flash the system, format user data and follow the instructions as below:

1. Get root access

2. Add persistent VoLTE lines to build.prop

3. Install ims.apk as user app (don't push it to system/app

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

If the above problem still persists, then make sure that you flash the fastboot ROM, upgrade to.45 firmware and then flash descendants OS.

Havent tried ether yet, i know aex gsi was abandoned months and it lacks a maintainer, bootleggers should be the same as RR or Bliss, all these roms are the same for the exeption of adding or taking away features, and been aosp or caf based.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] SMSJA:
Hello, I am new to XDA and I have an un rooted HTC 10 international unlocked model on software 3.16.401.2. My HTC used to have excellent battery before the Oreo update. I did multiple tests and checks to see what the issue could be and have ruled out rogue apps or hardware issues.

I have never rooted any of my phones before but I am desperate as the battery has tanked so badly

NOW TO THE POINT

I am looking for advice on:

1. If rooting my device and using a custom version of Oreo will actually improve battery issues. (Are there others who rooted for the reason I'm considering, if so did you actually notice an improvement?)

2. If so, what is the safest/most newbie friendly method of me doing this.

PLEASE NOTE: I am very satisfied otherwise with the standard features. I have switched between htc sense launcher and smart launcher but otherwise use the phone very conventionally. I am not opposed to different features but I essentially would like to have as close to what I have now without the battery issues.

(Sorry in advance if there are 100 similar threads I'm already very concerned I'll mess

this up and manage to brick my phone so I am just trying to get clear information in a thread that's not oversaturated and is written in a layman friendly (PLEASE ) way)

Thank you everyone!
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
1: No, routing your OS won't be the fix for your battery problems.

2: it's the way everybody had to do it, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP with fastboot and flash a custom rom. It's all explained in the guides section.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] SMSJA:
Thanks for your response! I am currently doing more research now after reading your helpful comment ?. Would I still be able to use the phones default launcher (HTC sense in my case) after unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom or will every part of the UI now be different?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] product26:
What about gaining S-Off and reverting to Nougat and Nougat firmware? Seems with all the battery complaints that came along with the Oreo update, there is some validity in asking such a question.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Yes as long as you flash a sense based rom the UI will not change.

You can also downgrade without s-off but it's a bit trickier, there is a dedicated thread in the guides section that covered this. Have a look there for all info, there is also a video in that specific thread that shows how to do it.

https://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/downgrade-problems-downgrading-htc-10-t3735658/page48

But the basic question is also relevant, yes you can gain s-off and downgrade by flashing the firmware and then the ruu or a custom nougat rom.

I'm on ATT variant too, already ditched their build and using global firmware. No issues so far. Hope this helps someone else.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrGonzo6o:
You flashed global to your att model? Been thinking about doing this just been scared to.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonchance_84:
Yup! Just be sure the unlock bootloader. Reason why I waited a while, was ATT usually doesn't like bootloaders to be unlocked, so they'll lock that down. Not the case with this phone.

So I unlocked the bootloader, which factory reset the phone. Then flashed the global firmware for Oreo. But you'll be lucky, you can flash the latest pie firmware from the start. I had to flash the Oreo global, then update from within settings to get pie.

Good luck.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrGonzo6o:
Will I need to lock the bootloader back when I'm done? Maybe be a stupid question.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] peneoark:

[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrGonzo6o:
will be able to get ota's from here on out with out locking it back?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonchance_84:
Yes and no. If you don't root, you'll get ota's no problem. Rooted, you will still see the update, but there is a more involved process to update.

Once you're on global firmware, consider yourself an unlocked variant of the phone. Forget ATT.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrGonzo6o:
Awesome I have no plans on rooting just want to be on that software. So I can lock the loader back and that won't effect anything? Thank you so much.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonchance_84:
Nope. Just follow the instructions on the Razer site. Easy.

[Android Auto General] brianmini:
Renault recently released an updated tomtom.000 to fix a known year roll over issue, had to be applied before 6th April. All R-link equipped cars should have been flagging this up on screen. Upshot of this is that Renault opened up a process for updating Rlink via USB, normally they do this via the SD card. Copying the "new" tomtom.000 file to USB and starting car then pushed the tomtom.000 file to the car and reconfigured the satnav. Perhaps this means there is now a backdoor to updating other apps.
