[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Exel:
I think there's always exceptions to this. For the vast majority of people, Face ID is probably fine security wise. There's never a full proof solution to privacy.

I don't personally think Face ID is better than a Fingerprint Reader, but I think it's an acceptable form of "security." I personally don't have much on my phone that I care much for Face ID or Fingerprint Readers other than the convenience of it.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
I was against dropping the fingerprint reader.

But if they say the phone automatically unlocks at even a fast speed (so before you finish grabbing the phone), then I don't think I'll have a problem

However, I hope anything that support face unlock is draining extra battery life. Every extra % matters.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Alcolawl:
I wouldn't say it's more secure as a fingerprint reader, but probably on par. The true problem with the Pixel's Face ID is that right now it can unlock your phone while your eyes are closed. This needs to be rectified purely from the standpoint that someone can unlock your phone while you're asleep.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] radlink14:
A FP reader can also be used with opened or closed eyes. ? Not sure about the commotion on this.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] ptr_hamilton:
They want to commit that it's unsecure because it can be used without you wanting it. Like when you sleep.

But all the arguments I've heard so far are also valid for fingerprint security, it can also be used while you sleep. :silly:
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] rukawa2k:
But again, won't have issue with FP reader for twins! I tried the Pixel 4 yesterday with my identical twin brother and it unlocked immediately. :eek:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon Pro:
Ive tried searching, but cannot find if there is a ROM for the S5 that blocks all google back ground services from reporting on you, whatever info it may be. Ive seen the rumor of the company selling their refurb phones with a custom ROM on it, but at ludicrous prices, and cant even find them at all. Im going to be getting an S5 from a friend soon and want to start stripping it of the fluff and google services if at all possible.

Pardon the stupid questions, im a Windows user and having to investigate the possibility of being forced to move if they dont fix Cortana's voice command (she only does searches when you give her a command) and Interests have been turned off for a while with no warning or reason, but there is a message on a 8.1 phone as to why.

Anywho, how do you load apps if you dont have Gapps/google services? Can you side load them, but where do you get up to date ones if not from the Play store? Is it worth using a free S5 or plunking for a One Plus 6T or 7 or Nokia 8?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmduper:
Hi mate,

Try FDroid, Aurora Store, Yalp. I also side load from pure apk.

/e/ has its own apps store as well.

I use S5 devices. Cheap and operate great.

Many options :good:

bug list

After using this rom for more than a week these are the issues I found out

1. fingerprint scanner is slow, inaccurate(sometimes need to touch different part of finger to get it to recognise) but it works.

2. Substratum didn't work, tried different methods but couldn't get it to work.

3. Wireless display doesn't work.

4. "swipe up from home button" is weird, maybe I need to get use to it.

5. Paytm and some other apps doesn't get installed from play store, and you can't side-load paytm, so you need to sacrifice paytm.[FIXED- beta version wasn't working,after opting out of beta programme it worked]

6. Dark Mode doesn't apply in settings menu but it makes the notification panel dark.

7. 4G signals(vodafone) are a bit weaker, not sure, maybe someone else can confirm.[FIXED- needed to change my apn]

Apart from the issues the rom is great, looks lot better than coloros, has many functionalities that coloros didn't have, and it can be used as a daily driver.

Notify me if there is an update to this rom.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] Kisakuku:
In my experience, SupCase Unicorn Beetle Pro case is the best Otterbox alternative as long as you remove the built-in plastic screen protector and use a tempered glass protector instead.

Unlike the previous generations, the Pixel 4 case has a built-in kickstand and the branding on the back is "UB Pro" instead of the usual "Unicorn Beetle".

Here it is next to Pixel 3 XL and 2 XL, just waiting for the phone to show up.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] indianajonze:
why would you not use the included screen protector and go with a separate one? because it's plastic? asking because i think this case will fit the bill perfectly and i'm curious whether or not the protector will suck/is optional
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] Kisakuku:
The built-in protector scratches easily and has no adhesive, so it forms an air gap between the plastic and the screen. When the screen is on, the air gap reduces contrast (blacks will always be grayish). When the screen is off, it will look like there is an oily patch in the middle of it (Newton's rings).

It takes some patience to fully remove the built-in screen protector and adhesive without damaging the front half of the case, but in my experience with Unicorn Beetle Pro cases for Pixel 3 XL / 2 XL and HTC 10 / M9 / M8 it's well worth it.

You do have to use a tempered glass protector instead, otherwise the phone will be somewhat loose inside the case.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] bricekin:
One of the best cases out there. My 4XL showed up today but I'm not unwrapping it until the Unicorn Beetle Pro shows up for it tomorrow. Also signed up for a sample of a Schnailcase. Very similar design to the Supcase but it has an aluminum frame and redirects the audio from the bottom speaker to the front of the case.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] akmzero:
Do you have a link for the case?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] bricekin:
Scnailcase.com

Update: Just got the Unicorn Beetle Pro on my 4XL. As usual, the quality does not disappoint. However, coming from a Galaxy S8+, I'm a bit disappointed in the overall size of this thing. The S8+ at its thickest point is .53" but the 4XL case comes in at .61 all the way around. I always hated the S8+ because of the curved sides of the screen, but the case was notched out for easy access for the side control functions. I kinda wish that Supcase would've done the same thing with this case to reduce the overall bulk. I also wonder how much extra depth is caused by the new kickstand feature they are putting in these cases.

As far as positives, the screen protector actually seems kind of nice. Much nicer than the one that was on my Nexus 6. I'll give it a day or two before I decide to remove the screen protector. The squeeze for Google Assistant is still use-able. I have the sensitivity almost all of the way down, because of how much extra force the case requires you to exert. I'm sure if I continue using this feature, the case will loosen up over time.

This being said, I am very curious to try the Schnail case. It looks like it will be equally bulky but will at least re-direct the audio from the bottom to the front. I will post back with further updates on the Supcase.

how thick this case is. Also, I started to have the normal issues with the built-in screen protector so I cut it out like all the others I've ever had.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 2086469:
I'm very interested with this app in Playstore, however the developer stopped maintaining it since 2015 so it is not fully working with Android Pie (service gets killed by Android after running for few minutes).

I wonder who can make a app based on this awesome idea? It's called Smart Rotation, the floating popup whenever you hover hand over proximity sensor lets you quick toggle rotation options is damn AWESOME!!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wjelo:
Hi guys, could any of you explain to me what is the difference between GSI based and "normal" build ROMs?

I thought most custom ROMs are based on AOSP/GSI, but right now many Android 10 ROMs for one of my devices (Lenovo P2/kuntao) are popping up and most of them are getting a lot of hate for apparently being based on GSI and are not "proper" ROMs. People are not giving any specific criticism, just generally whining, like those ROMs are useless or something.

The only difference I see is for some reason the GSI ROMs need F2FS format instead of EXT4 that is standard for other ROMs for the device.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanGamingXbox:
To my knowledge, GSIs when properly implemented for a device are as good as a Device Specific ROM or what you call a "normal" ROM.

Usually GSIs are made for a wide-audience of devices. So the usual reason is that when a bug only available in a specific device is found. It usually isn't fixed by GSI devs.

However, Device Specific GSIs are actually made for the device it's running on. So small bugs will be fixed.

Usually though problems come from a bad vendor implementation. So if your device has a bad vendor implementation. I guess that would be a cost for concern. You can create your own but you'd have to wait for developers to create it.

They may be mad about limited Magisk Support. Since Magisk currently does not support GSI ROMs. But other than that, I don't see why GSIs get so much hate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quigley:
In a Treble world, don't all ROMs technically include a GSI? Because anything living in /system and distributed by a system.img file can actually be run as a GSI on any device that is Treble compatible.

However, right now it's probably like you say, vendors (and enthusiast ROM makers) may not completely adhere to the rules set by Android/AOSP, such as putting the correct things in the system, product, vendor and odm partitions. They include nasty hacks to solve some idiosyncratic bugs for their specific device. Nothing wrong with some nasty hacks, but they should put them in the right place (in product or odm partitions). As such, in theory there should be no need for separate system images any more.

In such a world, I suspect that indeed in the near future we will only load the GSI of our choice for all devices. We will rely only on whole ROM packages when drivers (vendor partition and optionally odm) need to be updated. This is needed for example for increasing the necessary HAL version for future Android releases, possibly shipped with an updated product partition, if the device requires some specific apps or functionality. So instead of full ROMs we can then just have "device support packages" for phones that aren't already fully fit for GSIs, or need updates for future GSI architectures.

In that case we can even have OTA updates for only the GSI, published by the specific OS maker (e.g. AOSP, LineageOS, /e/, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS and many more). Specific ROM developers then need only make sure that their device support package is up to snuff. When releasing a new OS update or version, the same OTA update can then be immmediately pushed to any device that runs it. Wouldn't that be great?

This module is a blessing indeed. I'm currently using it with Syberia 3 and it's totally changed the experience. Phone feels lot snappier and added features of Pixel phones such as wallpaper and smart recents are bonus. I've changed its Pixel launcher though because launcher included in module doesn't have swipe down for notifications feature. So I can now expand notification easily despite using original Pixel launcher :laugh:

Hey mate! Could you possibly list out the bugs you've faced in the rom as of now after flashing the magisk module?
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] alirazaagha:
I can do that but bugs are few and largely outnumbered by the functionality these ROMs provide. In [MENTION=5242134]degrus[/MENTION] ports, all functions work including FP gestures and FP unlock except ION which considers FP as back gesture only. Now, come to bugs.

* First bug is faced when you install ROM and start it without magisk. TWRP will say that there is no OS installed but force start results in initialization of ROM.

* No sound in video recording with stock or Gcam. Third party cameras capture audio.

* All 10 ROMs hang up a little especially while doing setup at start and when you change certain modules and tinkering with fingerprint security. It can only be resolved through force restart by pressing and holding power button.

* ION has a pixel look and functionality but it is scarred by 2 problems. First it doesn't add account, secondly it doesn't add fingerprint security.

No more bugs at all but you may face normal charging speed initially which will get better within couple of days. Deep sleep is great as there is not a single digit drop in battery overnight.

I will recommend Syberia 3 as I have found it to be more functional at the moment. Pixelizer module is an awesome addition too. Launcher q will force close after installing this module so go in settings and change default launcher to Pixel launher.

Aroma GApps work pretty well if you want a Pixel look for your phone.
