The regular 3 has been out a lot longer and development is mature. I also cant say Im definitively right either of course and I 100% agree OP has taken most of the low budget enthusiasts over to their side, especially outside the US.

Either way, it makes no nevermind to me. I will always build for the device I own and choose the device I own very carefully. There will be at least Velocity for the 3a XL its just a matter of how long it takes to get it up and running.

And yes, the lack of activity in this forum is almost shocking to me but last I was here with any regularity was in the Nexus 4/Nexus 5 days which was the wild west of Android development.

Let's not forget to mention the constant free advertising xda does for oneplus as well; that definitely helps their cause.

*And I'll admit it - I fell for it myself: bought a oneplus 7 pro, found that I hate curved displays, and returned it the next day - but the hype on xda fooled me for sure. The 7t pro looks nice, but I'm good - I'm hanging in with my bonito and seeing where things go.

Hahaha. "vanilla 3XL" far superior to any 3a. I will go with small a
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Phreaker47:
It doesn't surprise me because I, too, am finding myself comfortable with stock and avoiding all the inconveniences (mainly the merry-go-round of breaking things that check for root)... the only thing I really miss is being able to block ads and titanium backup. But it just isn't bothering me enough to care...
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
I owned the 3XL and didn't find it far superior. In fact I took it back and got a 6T while I waited for the next thing. Mainly it was the notch, and redraws in the GUI. In any event I only meant to refer to the regular 3XL or by extension any Pixel.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00292:
I guess if I paid @$300-400usd more for a device that has a smaller battery, with the same camera hardware(rear - don't care about the selfie cam), no headphone jack, and had a hideous notch so the OEM can claim "small bezels" - I may also be bitter & lurking in other devices' threads & talking smack(so I could feel better about my purchase...?):rolleyes:

Enjoy your 3xl and your notch... I guess. Congrats. :good:

Anytime you want to contribute to the 3axl community you are totally welcome to. No bitterness here. Otherwise...please go back to your "far superior" 3xl land please. We are not good enough for you here.

Take care.

*Bows down to the "far superior" 3xl owner*:angel:
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
I'm not going to claim expertise when I say this but I can call out plenty of experience on XDA over the course of many phones: I would not expect this forum section to be getting more active in the future. I'm not saying a ROM wont come but there was never much activity here at any time, it is quite slow now, it continues to get slower. Everything I've seen over my time here tells me that trend will continue. I'm honestly surprised about that because I had thought when I purchased this phone that this section would be moderately active. I was wrong. I don't like saying that and wish it wasn't true but that's how I see it.

I'll be off toward 4XL land soon; I have all the coffee tables a man needs in one life and I like my toys. :)
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] kirschdog1:
You mean bezzels right not coffee tables. Hahaha
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] BabelHuber:
Well, I personally have stopped using custom ROMs after switching to a Pixel. Before this, I always was eager to install AOSP-based ROMs on my previous devices (Samsung and LG).

But especially LG is a disappointment software-wise: My LG G5 had a very good battery runtime with the initial ROM, but future updates killed this. Not to speak of non-existing updates and even security patches. My Samsungs were just awful from the start, they were immediately in dire need of AOSP.

On top, updating vendor images always was a PITA.. On my G5, I always had to do a clean flash, get rid of the bloat, flash the GApps etc.

But the Pixels are different. They also can have a bug here and there, but nothing severe. Battery runtime stays good with updates, and security patches always are on time. Updates are easy even when you are rooted.

Hence I just rooted my Pixel 3a XL and called it a day. Since Android 10 with its dark mode, I can even skip Substratum. YMMV of course, but this is how I see it.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] hijax2001:
I only root for system-wide adblock and HEBF Optimizer. Everything else is stock.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] ctfrommn:
Custom Roms arent all (or even mostly) about features. There is so much more performance (and efficiency) to be had by building vs stock. Development will break loose soon enough. And when it does, then we will see what this device is truly capable of.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] champ784:
I think Pixel's experience is light and efficient enough to prevent a huge need for a custom ROM. Back in the Nexus days, CyanogenMod was designed specifically for the purpose of bringing a Nexus-like experience to other devices. But with Magisk, Exposed, and other tools, I think it's more worth rooting stock and sticking with that over custom ROMs these days.. Don't get me wrong, choice is nice. But I think Google did enough listening to allow for modification on their end that they answered 90% of dev's and user's complaints for features they wanted.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Marky__Mark:
Except for removing ambient display. That complaint they're not listening to.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] champ784:
Oh really? I didn't realize that, but that's because I use it religiously ?? also, note that I mentioned 90% of complaints

Is that something that a magisk middle could resolve? I'd think there's a method to fix that
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Marky__Mark:
Its in Android 10. Ambient display only works now with always on. It used to work in pie with always on and with that off. People aren't too happy about it,.but we haven't gotten an official Android 10 release yet. Maybe they removed it from the betas to force everyone to use always on display to work out the kinks.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
Nah, ambient display is gone on stable Q unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Marky__Mark:
Yeah it sucks. Custom rom it is, when it's available.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] :
Agreed. Custom ROM should take care of this issue in the future.

*And totally NOT trolling your user name...but the amount of $ that man made by looking like he smelled a fart as an "actor" is astounding. Nothing but respect for his game...it worked :good:

You go on M.M. - rock that "who farted" face and cash those checks! $$ :highfive:
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Archangel:
Funniest comment in a long time! LOL
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] ast00:
You don't really need a custom ROM anymore.

However you do need root for some trivial things. For example squeeze the phone to turn on the flashlight. Assistant is still useless in countries that don't use English and remapping something like this really should be possible. Even Samsung bit the bullet on remapping Bixby.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
Welp I tried to get AOSiP Q running on bonito and that was not a fun experience. Ended up bricking my phone for a few hours there and wasn't able to get into stock recovery with the custom boot image so no way to flash anything.

On a side note, with my magisk modules and edxposed, I can get basically all the rom stuff I need (I would love the clock faces though but that's not possible without ROMs AFAIK).
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Lakino:
Just received my 3a XL today from B&H black friday deal of $379. Coming from Essential Phone.

I have to say I'm HELLA surprised how quiet this 3a XL section of xda is. I just can't believe there's hardly any development for this Google phone. I guess OnePlus really does have all the attention of the enthusiasts -- the ones that can't afford a Google 3 or 4. Crazy.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] adm1jtg:
So i have read all through this thread... very interesting....

Those of you who want custom roms what features are you after, besides ambient display being fixed

Just curious as I may not know what I am missing lol

or is it like the one dev said more about pure performance

Am already getting 3 days use with almost 7 hours SOT on rooted stock, can it really get tremendously better? (serious question)
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Archangel:
This phone is awesome. I have had all the Pixel phones and this one is by far the best value. If you go on the various Telegram channels there are a pretty decent amount of custom roms floating around. Havoc is the one I am on and it is running really good.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] oranget:
Any word on the DerpFest rom i saw for bonito? Not heard anything about it?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
I solved that issue with my 3a Xl. I side lined it and went back to a Note 4 running Havoc rom.. It is just as smooth and quick as my Pixel. With the only exception, I can flash and customize, were with the Sprint version of the Pixel, I can't do squat. The pixel will be my back up, if anything goes wrong with my Note 4.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] xRogerxC:
I can afford a Pixel 3 or 4, but I'm happy with my OnePlus 6T, and my 7 Pro. Why spend a fortune when I don't need too.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] profi_fahrer:
Best IT-Solution: "Did you try to turn it off and on again" ?

No seriously, you can try to force close the System-UI in the App-Setting and to delete the Cache. Maybe this schould fix the bug.

Does this also happen, every time you disable the night mode, or only sometimes?

I'm posting this here cause i'm not allowed to post in development yet

I tried building halium for my device, I tried both halium and hybris but none seem to boot correctly after flashing the rootfs

If anyone has can you tell me the steps of how you did it?

[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:
Opera PC version got this, and it works like a charm, need a phone version of this.

Is there a browser that have a option to auto-refresh?
[HTC Excalibur] tlogix:
I don't think you will find a browser with that option. It's reasonable to do on PC because:

1) Internet connection costs next to nothing nowaday on a PC

2) PC has more CPU power

3) PC doesn't have to worry about the battery drain issue.

All those things are not true (or partly not true) with a smartphone so that feature will be one of the last things developer put on their todo list.
[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:
there are a few sites that have auto-refresh, mostly sport scores site.

with tmob its all unlimited data, there is no cap.

u tried browser like deepfish, skyfire, teashark?
[HTC Excalibur] tlogix:
To be honest I tried a few share of them to write down that remark unless they added something new after all that beta testing. But as I said before that will be one the last features they have on their todo list.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Schnikker:
I updated my firmware to version V10.4.1.0.PCAMIXM to be able to install the newest LOS 16 update (28.9.2019). Before I updated LOS I restarted the device still with the old software and the fingerprintsensor was already not working. I did not think much of it updated LOS anyway and now it still doesn't work. When I try to register a new fingerprint and tap on the sensor it just works as homebutton and brings me back to the homescreen.

Does anybody have the same problem? Can it be fixed with firmware version 9.6.27 or with something else?
[Other SmartWatches] stevo38:
Hi,

I have an Honor Band 5 and love it.. I was wondering how long it can manage to store data if not connected to my mobile.

It would save power if I only connect it to the phone to transfer recorded data but I have no idea how much data it can store.

Anyone any idea ?

Cheers

It's possible to install the new android 10 beta?

I read that in german there is the beta program
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] blazethelight:
Maybe it's work, if you flash other firmware via Odin and a other sim card insert of your country.

Often the csc changed than, because of first start time with the new sim card insert.

I did this last week for work with a Samsung Galaxy A50 (2019). There was a spain firmware flashed (php) and I flashed german region free (dbt). The csc code changed only, when I insert a german prepaid sim card.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Jyanjy92:
Thanks! I will try! ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] blazethelight:
Download the Samsung members app and register for android 10 open beta.

After few minutes waiting you become the OTA Android 10 / One UI 2.

Maybe you must manual search for updates under settings updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] vegh_mark97:
Hi Guys,

I used to use Titanium backup to back up my application data (on my prev. devices) before a fresh installation of Android, but

I just realized that I have to enable "OEM unlocking" to be able to root my S9+.

BUT OEM unlocking then requires a factory reset........ So my app data would be still lost........

Please tell me if there is any way to back up my app data (or maybe root without OEM unlocking, or OEM unlocking without factory reset). Now I feel quite hopeless..

Any suggestion is welcomed!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] SCWells72:
The best option I've found is Helium. It's not perfect, but it's allowed me to migrate most of my app settings from device to device when I lack root.

1 - What multimedia (audio and video) apps do you use?

in my point of view the different apps built in for video and audio are very simple...i wish to have a all in one app that can download lyrics and album art for example.....but cannot find the right one :(

2 - any app where i can divide the screen in map and music, youtube or other?

3 - any of you are using http injector?

4 - best launcher

5 - my device connects via bluetooth to phone but does not received sms ... is there anyway?

6 - i want to connect via bluetooth to my obd ...how can i make it ?

thanks

So I'm trying to get the Samsung game launcher on my G7. I don't know there's a way do this but thought I'd give a shot
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
I doubt it will work

Samsung apps are designed to work with their touchwiz firmware

As your device doesn't have the touchwiz framework it won't be able to control any of the functions it is designed to do - hense it will just force close on launch

You would be better looking for an alternative app that does the same job in AOSP type builds
