thanks for confirming :crying: [MENTION=6022102]CodeFox[/MENTION] could you look into it? I am afraid I can burn my pixels with brightness so high all night :p

EDIT: I think I found out something interesting, actually it seems it works the opposite here lol! I mean with lot of light the AOD starts bright and goes very dim after some seconds, while with dark environment AOD starts dim and goes very bright after some seconds!

im gonna flash q now again , i noticed something that gives me hope for a sw failure again , the hw decoder of my iptv app wasnt working but it used to work with q , and a defective display unit wont affect hw decoder

Lmk if that works....I've never seen the bug personally.... That's great news for you if it works.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mosolicious:
First impression: AEX bootanimation is gone and I was presented with Google's bouncy dots. It booted without problems though.

Apps: Stock as can be, however, I'm surprised to see "Project Fi" and "Via" being part of an AOSP experience now. That can be solved though ;)

OS-wise: No wallpaper. This is expected though, as you've removed the Pixel ones. I'm just noting the observation.

One big bug here though: I don't have any UI. There's no statusbar, no way to enter settings (Settings app in drawer crashes on launch), no back button or a way to turn off/restart the phone when I hold the power button.

After rebooting and flashing TWRP, I'm now stuck in a bootloop.

Thanks a lot for trying though :)

I really appreciate the attempt!

Do you know if they added active edge to pixel 2 yet ? Having active edge for pixel 3 would complete me.. Then I can die.

Regardless even with out it, it's LIT!! ??
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] J0SH1X:
well u were right , after flashing back q beta it got better again then with aex (i guess bcs of darkmode, idk) but yesterday out of the nowhere the display went completely nuts rendering my phone near unuseable

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FcukBloat:
[MENTION=6022102]CodeFox[/MENTION] any chance you look in the aod brightness problem before New build please? :fingers-crossed: it is too bright in dark environments, and gets darker when the environment light increases.. it is working fine instead in Aquarios or DU roms for example.

Perhaps not, but it sure seems like it has slowed down a lot.

I believe there was a may build but it was pulled because of some compatibility issues or.something.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
The dev said he was pretty busy with work I believe so was having a hard time to maintain both roms (DotOS as well). It really looks like rom development slowed down for the latest Pixels lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shooterlgk:
Ya compared to nexus, development has been real minimal
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Xdevillived666:
I'm calling it now. Custom roms will be dead once the p4 comes out. Google is locking their stuff down and it seems to much of a headache to maintain roms with monthly security updates / Google integrating custom rom features into its own releases. Sucks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shooterlgk:
I can see that happening..

Will you do anything else for our Pixel 3 XL?

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RowanEnbyDev:
You have a similar stance on rooting/stock-based ROMS? Maybe that'll be the way to go in the future. I own a Pixel 3 and I've found stock+GravityBox+QuickSwitch to be honestly better than any custom ROM available. Same story with my OP7P - there's a "Magisk rom" that has a bunch of extra features built on top of stock.

These types of projects ensure that everything is working as it would in stock but bring third-party customizations. I like them - especially as stock ROMs get better.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Xdevillived666:
I'm not sure. Guess it depends on how Google approaches security and their os in the future. I agree that stock plus customizations is great but we will see.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RowanEnbyDev:
from what I've gathered, Google is trying to make their system as secure as possible but not trying to keep developers and SU's away from root, e t c. like the new system-as-root system wasn't made to make root harder, it was made to simplify organization of the filesystem. from what I foresee, I feel like pixels and OnePlus phones at least will always have stock-based ROMs available with customizations. probably LG too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CodeFox:
Totally agree with you regarding nothing being better than stock. That's partially down to why I've stopped compiling custom ROMs for the P3. They're just sluggish compared to stock. Not close at all.

When Android Q custom ROMs come around I'll probably compile those to see how they are. May be surprised and find the sexy new smooth animations are there.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FcukBloat:
i think this depends from the rom and optimisations, the more features customisations it has, the more sluggish. I'm running aquarios and it is totally comparable to stock in terms of smoothness, if not better, also DU was the same.

aex, bootleggers and similar instead feel slower, and indeed they have many more customisations.. maybe that's just a case though

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nestor makhno:
I have a galaxy tab A sm-t380 and I'm trying to downgrade the firmware from 7.1.1 to 6.0. I looked online and the only firmware I could find was the latest firmware or the second to oldest firmware. Does anyone here know where I can get older firmware for this particular tablet? Any help is much appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainChris2018:
The tablet came out in 2017 so this tablet is too new for offcail 6.0 and this device has no custom roms so I can't help you.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dante`afk:
Since 2 or 3 weeks random apps, no matter which, would just close with no reason at all. No error messages nothing, they're not even running on the background.

I went into TWRP and cleared the dalvik cache, same issue.

Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] dylanc430:
I have a new tilt and the camera seems very slow and sluggish. When I move the phone around the picture gets blurry and there is an awful delay. Any fix?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] pinx:
Hello, wake up, join us on the GPU driver waiting list :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] drownage:
same... tried all roms just to get this fixed... no luck... theres no picture i have taken that isnt blurred atleast a bit...

HTC fix it or lose a fan forever !!!

EDIT: fit it or lose 14222 fans forever
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] VirgilWoods:
For me, I felt like Leo's latest v4 ROM had the fastest image previewing and capturing of all ROMs I've tested. To go to the thread, CLICK HERE.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] blogzter:
you call that a camera?

i surely hope that you didnt get the kaiser so that you use it as a camera! I would give up the camera if it would make it thinner, lighter, or cheaper... even for non of the above.

HTC, please remove the camera and sliding keyboard and make the thing thinner... if not i'm sure you'll not lose anyone you weren't gonna lose once the new iphone is out with 3G, gps, and custon softs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] JimmyMcGee:
Ok I have some points to make here. You guys ever heard the phrase, "Jack of all Trades, Master of none"? It means the Kaiser is not the Best Phone or Camera or GPS device. But they are good enough. If you want quality Prints get a Digital SLR. Nikon with 51 Focus Points!. Yeah Baby!

Second, If you pop off the battery cover and take a picture of something, then pop it back on and take the very same picture. Compare the Two. The Plastic over the Camera clouds the pictures. I personally Broke the Plastic Away from in front of the Camera, It takes great pictures now.

I swear, Why do you guys keep dwelling on this Driver Issue. Its like this one time I touched the stove, The burner was On, I burned my hand. I now don't touch the stove when it's on. HTC has blew past some many promises of these "Magical Fix all drivers." That I now don't care for or expect the drivers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] KD8DNS:
My main question is jimmy, the tilt has a camera WERE???

hahahaha
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] denco7:
Tried it , nice tip! Next time I forget the Nikon (coopic ha) and I absolutly have to take a pic with the Kaiser, I'm taking the cover off. Picture came out 50% clearer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] fireblade63:
Quick Solution

In order to have a faster responding camera, do the following:

Turn on your camera

Press the power button to switch the device to standby mode

wait for 5 seconds

Switch on

You will have the camera much faster

Note that you are to turn off the key lock app if you have it on in order to have this working

HOPING FOR FULL DRIVERS.....NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

AWAITING THE XPERIA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] chatterbox1990:
i figured out a way to make it better..u need light tho otherwise it will be really dark..if its laggy leave ur camera on and press power wait for a couple secons and press power again..it should be black for a while and then ur camera will come up but it will be very dark..tell me if this helps
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] zinamike:
I have an easier fix. Turn off your wifi before taking pictures. If you haven't noticed, clicking the power button to go into standby suspends the wifi. When you click the power button again you will have about 3-5 solid seconds of faster camera until the wifi turns back on then it'll be lagging again as usual. So just turn off the wifi then take pictures. If you have a AT&T Tilt you can easily turn off the wifi by hitting Fn then Right arrow on your keyboard, then do the same thing again when you want to turn it back on.

Doing that and also doing what Jimmy said in this post

Will give you some amazing picture quality compared to before.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] KDKobes:
Be happy you have a camera on your phone. I remember when all there was were big block bag phones:p

I have noticed each phone I have had is different based on the lighting conditions. Some cameras do better indoors some outdoors. Its all based on the lighting conditions(incadescent, flourescent). The kaiser cameras work best in natural light. Outdoors the camera will hardly blur, take it indoors and it blurs really bad.

I have triying it and it was very usefull, it really works

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TRexombo:
I've been a diehard Samsung guy all the way back to the S5. I'm on the note 8 now and my wife is on the S9+. I prefer to have my device rooted but Samsung /Verizon has made it increasingly difficult with each new generation of phone.

I've noticed since I am on the Verizon network, there are not many choices to switch to that you are able to unlock the bootloader. Verizon wants to keep them all locked up tight.

In my research I have discovered that the 6T may offer me a way out. I also understand that it's not without it's share of problems. I've noticed many posts with people saying their texts do not work correctly. Many others said they had to call Verizon and tell them the 6t is not a CDMA phone and one member said Verizon would not activate his CDMA-less 6t.

I think I may still be willing to give it a try but one thing I noticed when I do a search for a Oneplus 6t on Amazon, every listing says NOT COMPATIBLE with Verizon. I think they are only saying that because the 6t does not have CDMA capability but it does have LTE and because of that it should be compatible. Am I correct?

I do not want to buy it if I can't use it on Verizon.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] teddyearp:
I just got my Oneplus 6T last Thursday. It is a tiny bit finicky about getting the drivers to keep working for unlocking, rooting, and flashing, otherwise once I had it set up, to activate it on VZW, I just had to log into my account and make the required CDMA-less choice online and BOOM, it just works.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TRexombo:
Ok thank you, that's very encouraging. Where did you purchase it from?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] teddyearp:
I bought it straight from oneplus online. It's the non TMobile dual SIM. Took maybe two days.

My Nexus 6 still works, but it's time and I'm happy.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] 666syco:
I'm on Verizon contract. I had no issue with getting my 6T on my line switched to cdma-less. Also buy it from OnePlus directly you can buy a warranty replacement plan witch Verizon will not cover cause they don't sell the device. I came from the unlocked Google Pixel 2 XL. I will never buy a phone from Big Red again. Unlocked and free is the way to BE???.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TRexombo:
Thank you guys. I agree with you both. I'm so tired of being under their thumb. I like having control of my phone and what's on it.

If I weren't a truck driver I would have already left Verizon long ago and tried to find a cellular service provider that gives me more freedom, but I travel to a LOT of backwoods places where, if I didn't have Verizon, I would have no signal.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] teddyearp:
Actually, being able to buy unlocked devices that work on Verizon is the ultimate freedom. The best phone on the best network.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
The Chinese version will not work.

The international version is the version that work. Buy directly from OnePlus to make sure it't the right version.

I'm using my 6T on Verizon with no issues.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TRexombo:
Good point teddyearp, Verizon is the best network and that together with an unlocked phone is the ultimate in freedom.

Thank you tech head, I will be sure to get the international version straight from oneplus.

I did a lot of searching before deciding on the 6t. Am I right that the 6t is the only new phone that you can purchase in the US that is unlocked or can be unlocked and that is compatible with Verizon?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] 666syco:
There is also the Google pixel line from Google also. Like I said I came from a pixel 2 XL and I can honestly say since I got my 6t I haven't looked back at my pixel. Way more BANG for my buck. I could have purchased two of the high-end 6Ts (8gb ram and 256gb storage) like I have for the price of one pixel 2 XL. I paid almost $1,200 including warranty with that for a unlocked 128gb Pixel 2 XL. Now for my OnePlus I paid $629 plus a extra $150 for a 2 year warranty. I baby my devices but accidents do happen. Even though I never had one but just in case cause it's better safe then sorry. You won't regret your OnePlus I've been reading about these flagship killers for a few years and been waiting for them to be compatible with Verizon. The long wait is over.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TRexombo:
Oh yes that's right. The pixel phones. My son, who is away at college loves his pixel and as hard as it may be to believe, even though I've always used android phones (android being from google), I am extremely anti google and would not buy a pixel. I like apple even less so I use android but I don't use chrome. One of the things I always try to accomplish when I get each new device, is to root it and remove as much bloatware and all the google stuff I can without breaking it. Plus I like to stop as much of the telemetry as I possibly can.

I really appreciate the fact that the oneplus has a much lower price and yet is still powerful. Yes the long wait is over

I can't wait to get my very own flagship killer!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cam509:
bought my 6t one month ago to replace a pixel 3 xl. i do not regret it one bit. the 6t just feels better in the hand to me. popped the sim out of the pixel and into the 6t and instant working except for MMS and i got on the verizon website and did the chat (couldn't find the link myself for CDMA-less texting) and it worked within minutes. zero issues so far. (sorry for the run-on sentence)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Clancy_s:
Not how convenient is the placement - I can tell that in store, what I can't tell and most reviews doen't mention is mean how quickly and reliably does it recognise your fingerprint and how often does it miss, particularly are there any circumstances under which it consistently has trouble?

My current phone is a Galaxy S8, before that I had a Pixel. I plan on getting a new one in the next month or so, short listed to Galaxy S10+ or Pixel3 XL. One of my favourite things about the Pixel is the fingerprint reader, which worked pretty much first time, every time - when I picked it up the phone was unlocked by the time I was looking at the screen. The S8 not so much; I can work around the smaller, less well placed reader but it often has trouble reading my finger print. I've reregistered, rebooted, cleaned the reader etc many times, to no effect, it still has trouble particularly if my hands are cold (for a certain value of cold, never below freezing around here), skin is dry, skin is wet etc...

My partner has my old pixel, I still have a fingerprint registered on it and the pixel still consistently reads it first time, even when the S8 can't.

For me this is one of the make or break features on a phone, it's not covered in reviews and will be hard to test in store, so I'm asking this community - how good is the fingerprint reader on this phone?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lakingslayer:
Mine works great. Not sure how secure it is but I like it. One thing to remember is the new GS10 has a new finger print technology so I'd try it out in a store if possible before settling on it.

Hello

First of all, I'm kinda noob so bear with me.

So, I have a ZE554KL that used to be rooted and working quite fine, but I want to unroot and install the stock rom, as if just came out of the store.

After several problems, now I have a phone that I can access the fastboot and thats it. No recovery mode, no TWRP, no regular boot.

Also the PC cant find it. When I connect the device to the PC, the devices manager cant find anything new, no sound of a new USB device or nothing similiar. Tried on my regular PC, same that I did the root months ago, and on a new PC, recently formatted.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Raul77:
Honestly it works fine for me, but i dont use it much, I use the face unluck, any reason why you guys prefer fingerprint over face unluck ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Corv0:
Yeah, they implemented the ultrasound sensor to make sure this type of authentication can't be attacked.

Face unlock is a flawed method and this phone doesn't even have the hardware to do a proper face authentication, it can be fooled by a picture.

Samsung should have disabled it but chose not to remove any stock Android features, so it is still present.

Regarding my experience with the fp sensor, it took some time to get used to the position but once that happened it's pretty much 10/10, definitely the fastest scanner I ever tried.

It is very sensitive to how you register it the first time, you need to register it in a natural position and it will work perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] clownin72:
Fingerprint is very inconsistent for me. I've tried every method for success and it's just very hit and miss. I really use face unlock more just for my own convenience. I know it's really not secure but my phone never is never far away.
