I followed through the logcat output and stumbled upon a line that clearly said Google Photos depends on Google Camera! I had Google Camera app installed from Play 8, but it wasn't working. So, I downloaded and installed NGCsm along with DotFix and voila! Damned thing is working just fine now!

Therefore, encryption wasn't the culprit, rather Google Photos needs Google Camera to work! Hope it helps anyone with similar problem!
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] thkgop001:
Wow, that's an excellent find...

Google and its dependencies 🤔

Just installed v2 an hour ago.

Seems to have booted up with 'inverted colors' tile turned on.

Apart from that I had video playback stopping randomly in first blood version which looks like gotten resolved now with v2.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] thkgop001:
Timely release for a weekend to flash and test... Thank you Team and keep up the great work!

Cheers
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
First blood was already acceptable daily driver. V2 so far solves all main issues I had before :

Random video pause.

Random page refresh.

Random failure of XDA app.

Many thanks to the developers and maintainer. Too bad for other phone vendors, I won't be replacing a phone just yet :-)
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] thkgop001:
Flawless dirty flash and rock solid performance so far...kudos to the team.

One small issue that's barely significant: under Status Bar - - > Status Bar Logo, if the Xtended logo is alteady on and if toggling to switch off, one needs to restart the phone for the icon to disappear.

Kernel is great on this build and the previous one... Amazing battery life.

And the customisations are just getting better with every release.

Thank you so much Team!

[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] gecko8k:
Thank you for a great Android 12 Rom, I really like it and use it as my daily driver.

One humble request. Please make the Rom identify as not-rooted to apps like MitID and NemID. These two apps are mandatory to all adults in Denmark where I live since they are used to log in to all banking and public self service. I do not have root but right now the apps refuse to function because they see the phone as rooted. I know it is a very specific request but I figure other apps could benefit from it too. It worked flawlessly in Xtended XR/11 so I hope it is a relatively easy fix in XS/12.

How to reproduce:

1) Download the apps

2) Run them

3) Get an error message saying the device is insecure

Edit 1: Logcat for MitID refusing to function: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1unv1NTMorh_krD3dYvViPUVyL9EBvuDS/view?usp=sharing
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] satand:
does the rom work encrypted? if i stay encrypted, coming from an android 11 custom rom, do i need to wipe user data?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] satand:
just to confirm: encrypted works fine. no need to wipe user data when you are coming from android 11 custom rom.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] prabhjots:
Perhaps a stupid question, but other Android 12 rom forums are saying Encryption is not possible since TWRP (or any recovery) doesn't support encryption on Android 12.

What are we doing differently here?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
I don't think there is a difference here. Encryption is supported in the ROM (I had bad experience with other A12 ROMs).

But TWRP can't decrypt so you either use sideload to flash files, or you use external USB storage to flash files with.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Deepjatt7:
Swap button don't show in one plus settings.... Plz update as soon as @mukesh22584
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
You can swap buttons using an app like

Buttons Remapper: Map & Combo - Apps on Google Play

Buttons Remapper: The ultimate app for customizing your Android buttons.

[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Z4HD:
Can TWRP backup/restore encrypted DATA as is? Without decrypt it.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] MA7MOD_GSM:
Great Work
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
I haven't tried. Sorry.

I don't know if it will be useful as encryption keys might be different between ROMs, aren't they ?

[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
Thank you for a February update to the ROM.

I have it as a daily driver since first-blood.

But with this recent version I seem to have a total phone crash when trying to start AliExpress app.

I've uninstalled it and reinstalled from Google Play and it still dies after starting to load the landing screen.

Attached is logcat I could catch while phone being plugged to a PC.

I hope it can help squashing this bug.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] updesh94:
Hi There, thanks for the excellent rom, using it since V2 and this recent update packs a lot of new options.

Along with these options, the only issue I'm facing is that my front camera now does not works in Nik Gcam whereas in V2 it was working absolutely fine. Although it's working fine in the normal camera provided in the rom.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] thkgop001:
Hi @updesh94

My GCam (NGCam_8.1.101-v1.3-fix_eng.apk together with the 8.2 XML config) works fine albeit with some lag. Still does better pictures than the stock though.

In your setup, have you flashed (or reflashed, in case you dirty flashed XS) OnePlus5&5T-DotFix-v6.2.zip?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] thkgop001:
Hi Xtended team

Great update on this tribute build. The new look for the Theme sub menu is particularly awesome.

Screen off and AoD seems to work much better on this build as well.

Though it may too soon for a screen on time assessment, I think this kernel may be a little bit heavier on battery VS the last XS build. Of course, I could be wrong on this as I don't have any stats to back me up... More of a gut feel after 2 days of heavy use.

Feature request: please would we bring back colourful notification icons in the status bar?

Keep up the great work, team!

Cheers

[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] thkgop001:
Confirmed as crashing on my setup as well.

App starts loading but before it can download any images, it force restarts the whole phone.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] updesh94:
Yes, after dirty flashing new XS version, I flashed dotfix zip from the twrp again
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] gecko8k:
Edit 1: I found an article about this problem, maybe it can be of some help.

Edit 2: It seems that Magisk and Universal SafetyNet Fix can not help here. It also seems that SafetyNet Helper Sample always produces the mentioned error regardles of the OS so I do no think that is the problem. I have linked to a logcat of MitID refusing to run and hope it is useful to the devs to figure out why some apps think Xtended is rooted/can not pass SafetyNet.

Logcat: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kKsk7FPUWnDUa1mxJW6MX0GX0ml6oNzY/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for a great ROM, it just gets better and better at each update. Sorry to hear about Vladimir, it's a fine gesture that you name this release after him.

I have one humble request. It seems that the ROM has a problem passing SafetyNet. This can be seen with the app SafetyNet Helper Sample. When run it says that there is a Response signature validation-error (see attached screenshot). This error seems to block some authentication apps from running, e.g. MitID.

This is a pretty huge problem to all adults in my country, since all logins to banks, online payment and public institutions run through such authentication apps.

If this has catched your dev-eyes please look into this as making SafetyNet work would mean a lot to the useability of Xtended. It worked in Xtended XR/11 so maybe some code can be reused.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] AleAndroid96:
Have you already tried to install the latest magisk release, flash the safety net module and add the apps in question to the list of apps excluded from root?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] gecko8k:
Thanks for the advice. I just tried it tonight and unfortunately it did not help.

I also tried flashing different OS'es and some work fine with the apps I need, others just do not. It seems to me that some OS'es identify as rooted and/or as SafetyNet-unsafe, and Magisk can not seem to change this.

Any further advice would be great.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
It worked for me up to now, fingers crossed.

After installing Magisk 24.1

Install this safety module:

Releases · kdrag0n/safetynet-fix

Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix

github.com

And make sure you turn the deny list in the magisk app to list Google Play Services and your banking and apps you know will be bothered by the root state.

Hide Magisk app (don't use in the name Magisk).

Good luck.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] sjamie:
Yep, this also worked for me.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] gecko8k:
Thanks but I did exactly that and it just does not work. This authentication app, MitID, seems to detect there is something fishy somewhere and I cannot figure out what it is. Could you maybe install the app and see if you get past an initial "can not run due to root"-screen?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
Yeah, doesn't work. Sorry.

Did you try Shamiko ?

A new method for hiding root in Magisk is in development

A MagiskHide successor, at last?

www.google.com
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] gecko8k:
Thanks for testing, now I know it is not only on my phone the problem is. And thanks for the link, I will look into it.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
I read now on Shamiko telegram that it could be a problem with Magisk's stable

LSPosed

0.4.3 1. Fix tmp mount being detected 2. Hide modified traces of init.rc Note: Hiding some system apps won't work since 0.2.0. It is a Magisk's bug, and it has been fixed since 24102+. 1. 修复临时文件卸载 2. 隐藏 init.rc 的修改痕迹 注：有些用户可能注意到 0.2.0 之后对一些系统应用的隐藏会不生效，这是 Magisk 的 bug，且已在 24102 中被修复。请更新 Magisk...

t.me

Should try with the beta/canary version
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] gecko8k:
I tried canary but it does not seem to work. It keeps saying that my device needs aditional setup no matter what I do. Sigh, I guess I will just have to see if the next versions of Magisk solves the problem.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Deepjatt7:
It's best rom...

Phone is encrypted with oem locked after then installing one plus stock recovery...
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] updesh94:
It seems that screen cast to tv (miracast) is broken as the phone soft reboots when trying to cast screen.

Rest everything is working fine. Superb ROM.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
You manged to install the extended ROM zip in stock onePlus recovery ? What about root ?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Deepjatt7:
Phone has no root..

In twrp recovery- Firmware 10.1 + Installing extended rom + no Verity zip file..

After then install one plus stock recovery by adb fastmode..

Or oem locked by adb
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] thkgop001:
Sorry, not quite following here...

Why do you need to flash stock recovery back?

After you've already flashed TWRP?

Why lose TWRP? It's so much more advantageous to keep TWRP, no?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] sjamie:
Maybe he is selling the device? 🤷🏽‍♂️
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Deepjatt7:
Phone has no root..

Firmware 10.1 + Installing extended rom + no Verity zip file..

After then install one plus stock recovery by adb fastmode..

Or oem locked by adb

LoL I don't like twrp 😂😂

Or i hv one question my phone is encrypted.. but when i goes to recovery mode I can't see any password.....!!
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
There is no TWRP/recovery version supporting the A12 encryption so you can decrypt (thus no password check).

You should use recovery to flash from external storage or sideload from a PC.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Deepjatt7:
Yupe.....

I can flash next update by adb side-load or external storage not working in one plus recovery..

But anyone reset/format all data by recovery😂😂
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] zagzag99:
Yes I did full reset and even only data format even when recovery can't decrypt.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Deepjatt7:

2) OnePlus setting->panel mode- > auto selected OnePlus mode. Not able to change it.

Could anyone help. What wrong I did.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] updesh94:
Awesome ROM with ample customisation and good battery life.

Even voLTE is working fine.

I only have 1 issue that in video recordings by both the gcam and normal cam, the phone is doing auto noise cancellation which is canceling audio in my music instrument recordings, any way to disable that?

Use beauty plus mod apk 😂😂

Is data from both sims working in this rom?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] satand:
i'm using the rom since three month and it is great. but since a week i have two major issues:

1) android system is draining my battery. the phone has no deep sleep. what can i do?

2) my first thought to solve problem 1 was to wipe cache. but twrp is requesting a password. but I don't have a password set?? i have already tried to set a password but it does not work in twrp either.

what can I do?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Deepjatt7:
Disable extra apps or enble restricted apps 👍 problem ll be fix

Its inbuilt apps sorry sir u can't disable... Also u can't disable by adb otg apk bcz adb otg not working in this coustom rom
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] satand:
but why did it work for month and now it drains the battery? the cpu is most of the time at 300mhz.

and how can i get data access in twrp again?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] Deepjatt7:
Sir i checked now com.google.android.gms it's Google play service u can disable it but without it u can't run some apps....😭😭
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] satand:
it seams that mobile network causes the battery drain. many people have the problem with a pixel phone. am i the only one with this issue on my OnePlus 5? i haven't found a solution yet.

[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] thkgop001:
Hey team,

I can't say that I have this problem now but I did notice unusual battery drain a few builds back - once again, seemingly out of nowhere.

To the point that I actually thought my battery was physically shot and I actually bought a new battery (though I didn't fit it yet)

A clean flash of the 2nd last ROM build fixed it though and I'm getting expected SOT and battery life in general right now.

May I suggest NapTime / Servicely to help with the battery drain? Maybe Google services are recently causing abnormal wake locks and/or heavy service abuse??

And several of us will have to post BetterBattery (or something similar) stats so that we get to the bottom of this battery life issue.

My 2 cents... Hope it helps.

Help! After install this rom in TWRP ask password ( enter user password ) i never have problem like this. How to fix this?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] SirRGB:
twrp cant decrypt data on A12 yet, you either have to wait for teamwin to implement A12 decryption or loose all your data once and disable forceencrypt.
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] mantinasss:
So if i going cancel to enter password and then going in to format and install rom i can't?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] SirRGB:
You can ofc, but you will loose all data on there. Make a backup and save it externally if you have any important data on there. You also have to sideload the rom because formatting data also wipes the rom file...
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] satand:
what is they best way to update the rom when phone is encrypted and twrp has no data access? is it possible to use migrate?
[OnePlus 5 & 5T Cross Device Development] noname556:
So shifted to this rom a few days ago to daily drive. So far much much better than other A12 roms for Cheeseburger.

Few things I would like to see in the next build( you do have a feature request mentioned hence):

-Better battery management( The battery timings are atrocious, I'm barely getting a day's use on it extreme battery saver toggled.)

-The ability to swap HW back and recent keys. ( I think I press back but in reality I pressed recents like tf?)

-Face Unlock.( I feel like it's must in recent times)

-Better built in file manager, the included one (documentsui) restricts apps to not have access to root folder which can lead to issues regarding importing settings and etc.

-Baked in Gcam (optional/ not a do or die feature)

Other than that it's good and I can't wait for 12.1 release.(y)(y)(y)
