Not sure where to go, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I'm currently on Beta 4 right now on the Pixel 2 XL. Is there a way that I can install TWRP while on Beta 4? Do I have to go back to a previous version? Installing root would be nice with Magisk too so if that's possible I would greatly appreciate it. I see people installing it (From what I've read) but I'm not sure exactly how they're doing it.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tesna:
you need to remove any PIN/patterns, then you can boot TWRP from fastboot and install TWRP/magisk from there. The current TWRP version does not support decrypting Q data, so you need to remove any PIN/pattern before booting up TWRP
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zook:
So I have to install twrp first then instead of magisk?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Droid_Nut:
I do use my modules, but I do not need them all of the time, I will give the core mode a try.

Yes, that is the problem, 0 lag here with modules off as well. So I wonder if it is any module or just some that cause the lag, or just the mode in general?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
Well, the new version of the Google App Beta started causing me issues again. Or else it is Magisk Canary not playing nicely with the Google App Beta - or something.

I can take a screenshot just fine, but if I go to share it, or even share a webpage I am viewing in Chrome, or on my Google Feed, it flashes up really, really quickly that something (presumably SystemUI again) has FCd, and I am unable to share.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Droid_Nut:
I could not even load searches with the latest Google App. I TitBu to the old version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
I left the ẞeta program for the Google app, and then it downgraded me to the latest stable version of the Google app, and I'm able to share stuff after a reboot.

I did NOT leave the Android Q ßeta program.

Does anyone know if Clash Royale is working with the latest beta of Android Q.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Droid_Nut:
Some of my Google apps are all of a sudden no longer working, my phone with Q3. Not working, Playstore, Wear, Google Fi, maps......?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SwimDrewid:
On Q beta 5 via the beta program.

I had dark mode already enabled when I updated, but I do not seem to have the dark boot animation or the dark apps everywhere (or, linked in)

I disabled, rebooted, then reenabled and rerebooted.

What am I missing?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Same and i can't find anything on the new gestures navigation feature they mentioned about

The unlocking animation is lagging. Damn Google damn you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Unlocking animation looks fine to me. It's every time for you?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Yes everytime and it's really annoying.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SwimDrewid:
Unlocking looks great here, as well. Just no dark animation or dark apps by default

And dpi on app switcher looks blown up
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
I'm not sure if you guys are doing the same thing as I'm.

I'm just using the fingerprint scanner directly from AOD. Are you guys trying like that as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SwimDrewid:
Yeah
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Thanks. Really strange. I'll let the rom to settle down for couple of days. Hopefully it will get better but i hope it's not because of some app like the last time Google app was creating issues

All they say is Installation issues.. It's been bootlooping some people... Ota went perfectly on my p2xl

---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 AM ----------

WiFi works fine here
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
Since the OTA and the full system image is available, you can flash yourself if need be. But of course you'll have to take your own precautions, as Google says there is an update issue of some kind that led to the halting of the OTA rollout.

For full system images for Pixel devices, go here: https://developer.android.com/preview/download

For OTA images for Pixel devices, go here: https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota

Again, if you're not very conversant with getting down and dirty when flashing these things including being able to revert in case something breaks, wait for the OTA to start up again.

Time to go see if root is working, and if so, manually update myself.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SwimDrewid:
This
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
Well, before I got a chance to start manually - the OTA notification showed up.

Currently DLing, after restoring boot images (Magisk rooted). Will patch inactive pane boot images next and then reboot and see how it goes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] masterofmayhem:
The beta 5 put my Pixel 2 XL into a boot loop. The download and install were fine. When I restarted to update, I was stuck on the blinding white G screen. After a minute or so, the stock recovery popped up to say that I should factory reset since there was no image to load (or something like that). I did the factory reset from the stock recovery and the beta 5 was applied and ready to go. It was annoying that I had to do the factory reset and re-setup all my apps, but I did gain some serious free storage after the reset. Other than that I have had no issues. Beta 5 works very smoothly. I hope this helps anyone that gets into the boot loop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
My Taimen took the OTA just fine - but this is after they restarted the OTA, not the original from yesterday.

Hey, guys, I need your help.

my devices installed android Q beta5, but my problem Google has automatically disabled now cards. I have manually enabled for using a VPN because of unsupported countries.

how to fix it?

thank you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
I was having an issue earlier today - I'd connect my LG Tone Platinum, and it would disconnect a few seconds later - happened every time, Even after a reboot.

Going to try removing and re-pairing and see if it makes a difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jorgeciprian:
Is there a release date for the final version? Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
https://developer.android.com/preview/overview

There's a timeline here. For reference, Pie was final on August 6. However, there's still a beta 6 before final so maybe late August or early September for Q
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bgboii:
Weird. Like it disconnects a lot.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Droid_Nut:
My Verizon signal is low, but the phone usually can make and receive calls. Google Fi seems to have no problem with Q5.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
I'm wondering if my BT connectivity is related to these WiFi connectivity issues. I have 0 issues with WiFi, have tried 5 different (including 3 public ones). But my BT headset refuses to stay connected, it drops within seconds of connecting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BabelHuber:
I have zero BT issues with Q Beta 5, my car and a JBL Bluetooth speaker both work 100% without any issues.

I upgraded from P to Q Beta 5 with a clean install, perhaps this is the reason...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
I clean installed earlier, I think after the additional release of the ẞeta 2 update (the one after the initial release of ẞeta 2).

At any rate, it connects fine to my vehicles, both of them, and even prompts me to connect to the newer vehicle when someone else starts it - and both remain connected.

It's only the headset that keeps disconnecting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I have no connection issues but I did notice I do have an audio delay with my 2013 VW Passat S that I've never had before with prior updates and my Nexus 5X before it.

Q ßeta 6 going live right now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
As usual, DL links for full system install are at https://developer.android.com/preview/download (this will not get updates OTA if you manually flash) and the OTA at https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota (Should be fine getting the final OTA after side-loading).

I am sitting on the fence, waiting to see if this is too buggy before I update.....

Betas have only gotten better for me with each one. I started with beta 3 in May.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnlgalt:
I like this update. It is smooth. Time will tell in terms of battery usage.

But I was able to pin live sports cores to the desktop in a chat-bubble-esque type thing. Pretty cool.

Is beta 6 rootable? I flashed Magisk 19.3 but received an error message. The beta performance seems great after two days, just REALLY missing my ad blocker
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blaaaazedup:
Use canary.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] myk.robinson:
thank you. That installed. Still showed the same error about mounting some directory, but it worked. I was able to install the systemless host module and get my adblocker back up and running.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blaaaazedup:
Is there something that I don't know about mounting system? Lol cause I got that error message as well so I just mounted it and the error went away. Should I not have done that?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] myk.robinson:
I'm not qualified to answer that, hopefully someone who knows what they're talking about will come along.

I just flashed Magisk Canary in TWRP. I think the error mentioned /vendor and one other directory (should have written it down). I noted that AdAway gave me an error when trying to activate it, and reading up on the error lead me to go into Magisk and toggle the systemless hosts option, reboot, and try again.

I've read that the double tap on the official release is bringing you to the lock screen so I want to see what was changed from the beta and have a copy

As far as I know it was the same way on the betas. Definitely beta 6, as I ran that one myself.

Hi there,

I currently have an issue with my music being split into two folder directories. I'm using both internal storage and SDcard hence the reason why my music player is populating these two folder families separate.

Basically my question is, how can I link a single folder to the SDcard from the internal storage without actually moving the files over and populating the SDcard. This is so that Blackplayer (music player app) can populate all music as a single folder.

As advertised below my Xperia X is rooted with Magisk

Hi has anyone tried the dev preview of q yet? I was wondering how stable it is. I usually wait till the second or third before I stay on dev preview. But if this is stable enough I will just update and stay there

I'm on q dp1 and it's very stable have had no force close or anything and all my apps work. But because something works for me doesn't mean it'll work for you but it's stable for daily use.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgonhed:
Hi,

I had a hardware-problem on my previous Fire 10 HD, so Amazon replaced it and I have to configure it again.

Previuously I had installed Nova-Launcher together with LaucherHijack and it worked.

This time I thought I could do away with LauncherHijack as I had rooted the device already, so I installed Nova via the Playstore and then simply did (as root):

pm enable com.teslacoilsw.launcher

pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher

And this worked - I now have Nova Launcher instead of firelauncher.

But there is one problem: I cannot create any widgets on Nova.

I can select a widget and drop it onto a Nova-page, but as soon as I let go of it the "settings"-dialog of FireOS pops up and the widget is not added.

Any idea where that problem might come from?

Many thanks!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgonhed:
Ok, I figured it out.

When you install Nova from the app-store you must not forget to do the appwidget-business as described here:

https://www.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire-os-custom-launcher-widgets/

Otherwise widgets won't work.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmznUser444 Dev:
Can you create the widgets on ADB
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Ugh - why do that when there is a simple solution that doesn't require jumping through hoops.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] D3M1TRYK:
The way the bug works is that when playing on a poco f1, when you try to turn around or look around without using the dedicated shoot-whileturning buttom, the game decides to freeze for a short second before actually looking towards the desired direction. I do not knoe if this glitch is exclusive to the poco f1 however I have played on a Samsung S8 before and the bug does not seem to be present. Overall it makes the gane feel choppy despite the SD 845 processor I have. Just now its 1 question, is it solvable?:confused:

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to get full immersive mode.

I know you can hide the navbar but I'd love to hide the status bar as well and make it so that apps go around the camera hole.

I don't want to hide the hole but want to put the whole screen up so that I don't see in every app the time and all the status bar icons. Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] roscasorin:
I want that too, but apparently no app is able to do that on my Galaxy S10. Hope to see that feature available soon!

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] JohnPyn:
Does it work with apps as well? I guess this is not that doable since I'd be probably missing some buttons that are over there...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] renton82:
Yes, of course
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Please send immersive mode requests to Samsung via feedback, or by emailing them. Right now the adb commands create annoying black bars instead of extending the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jhericurls:
I currently don't have my S10 yet, but use 'SystemUI Tuner' on my OnePlus 6 to do immersive mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] renton82:
Doesn't work with s10 it appears a black bar...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] JohnPyn:
Technically you could remove the black back by going into Settings>Display>Full Screen apps and selecting all to be full screen instead of auto. However this makes removing the status bar useless since even though you don't get the black bar you still do get a bar that's the color of the app. Green for whatsapp for instance. So you're not actually getting any more screen real estate, just hiding the status bar which I find it easier to do through adb instead of any other app which requires you to give more permissions hence to type more in the terminal.

I'm looking for a way to hide the status bar and have the screen go up and around the camera cutout, just like it works on any other phone which doesn't have a camera cutout
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] kurosawa79:
Did you find a way to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] JohnPyn:
I'm afraid not, still looking. I tried several apps and adb. Even wscan command on adb which was something I used to shift the screen down to hide the navbar before pie. Nothing seems to work
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] kurosawa79:
Strange because apps can go full screen, like Netflix and YouTube Vanced. Just that stubborn black shaded status bar won't shift.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] JohnPyn:
Yeah that's the same thing I thought of. I guess on apps you would lose some keys for instance on WhatsApp the ability to make calls... But I still would want to hide the status bar

I opened myself 2 threads about this on xda and one on reddit XD this is soooooooo important to me but no one seems to really care about it much! no one could help :( how can it be, that folks buy a S10 because of it's infinity display which has very little top and side bezels but are completely fine with a huuuuuuuge statusbar that's just a software bezel because of the bad software.... don't get me started about the possible burn in issues or uneven wear.

the usual adb command don't work

Sammy's own settings in the settings app where you can choose between automatic and fullscreen does nothing

the only thing that worked for me was app cloner so far. I cloned apple music, relay, spotify and tumblr and the difference that it makes is soooo huge!!!! Sammy has to do something about this. Getting all that space back, seeing the content scroll behind and around the punch hole and up to the frame which let's you notice how thin the top bezel really is.... yes on most apps some element get's get blocked by the punch hole, but if you are familiar with the app and know that there is something you can still touch it and it works, or what I do is, triggering one handed mode for a second pressing it and move on. for me that would work. Sammy should put a disclaimer saying, can cause some issues with certain apps and let us use all the apps we wan't in fullscreen/immersive mode. It sure does look better and that's the way I'm gonna be using my S10 after rooting.

please if you have more tips how to get immersive mode, let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] kurosawa79:
Hi I don't understand why app cloner makes a difference. Can you explain?
