[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ammarr:
For those who don't know, RattlesnakeOS is a build of AOSP that you compile yourself, using resources in the cloud (Note: that you pay for!). From its github page (https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack): RattlesnakeOS is a privacy and security focused Android OS for Google Pixel phones.

Quick Review:

Very bare bones, but also very fluid and stable. Everything works as expected. This is a great option if you're looking for a no-frills, bug free, gapps free ROM. Stock launcher works well with gestures. Great battery life too (see attachment).

The only issue I haven't found a solution for yet is that icon shape is square, with no way to modify it.

Installation:

Follow the instructions on the github page to get up and running with a build: https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack#installation

I only changed the region to 'us-east-2', everything else used default settings.

Note that by default the deploy will set up a job to compile the ROM on the 10th of every month. So, unless you turn this off, you WILL END UP BEING BILLED FOR IT. Either remove the AWS Lambda schedule that it creates, or set the schedule to some very large value so you can trigger builds manually when needed. If you don't mind the cost, then obviously its best to get the OTA with security patches every month.

Root:

Root is obviously optional, and given the security focused nature of the ROM, not really recommended. I needed root for some apps, so I kept my bootloader unlocked, and then used the instructions for magisk boot.img patching (https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#boot-image-patching) to get root.

TL;DR- The boot.img can be obtained from the image created by RattlesnakeOS. Patch it in magisk manager, then flash using fastboot.

Camera:

Install microg (Services Core only i.e. com.google.android.gms) from its f-droid repo here: https://microg.org/download.html, then install Google Camera (apk can be pulled from the stock install before wiping it, or from apkmirror etc). I didn't need to do any signature spoofing etc, just installing 'Services Core' was enough to get gcam working without issues.

Cost:

My cost on AWS was ~1 USD. YMMV, depending on the resources you use and which region you use them in.

Conclusion:

Doesn't seem to get a lot of attention, but RattlesnakeOS is a great way to get a gapps free ROM. Its fairly hassle free once its setup, and OTAs are automatically generated in the cloud so updates should be seamless.

Curious if others are using it and what their experiences have been.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Rudonja:
Hello everyone,

Ever since I upgraded to Android 10, my connections (mobile, wifi, Bluetooth) go off constantly, always when I'm doing something for a minute or two and then go back on, like someone is turning on airport mode. The upgrade was official (through system updater) and even when OnePlus support flashed some official "rock stable" according to them version, it still happens. Sometimes rarely, sometimes very often, no rule as to when.

Has anyone had this problem, does anyone know what causes it and eventual solution?

Tnx

How? According to the support guy, it can't be downgraded, do I have to root the phone?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dar3k:
I have similar issue, I have discovered that it is related to mobile data connection, when I turned off mobile data there is no problem with network connections - it is no matter that I have WiFi and mobile data active - problem with losing the signal came from time to time, when I have mobile data off and WiFi signal is stable.

The problems also affect calls - when mobile data is active phone from time to time losing the network signal and disconnecting the call.

Did someone find a solution for that ? I have tried to change someting with APN settings but it is not helping. I have read about this issue on oneplus community but no answers with solution for that :(
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Imrankhan12345:
No you can downgrade to pie.Its an easy procedure..

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Try downgrade to pie.If the issue still persist may be there is a chance of hardware related.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Rudonja:
For me the problem only started happening after Android 10, 9 was all good. Although, the latest 10.3.0 I found on oxygen updater seems to help - doesn't eliminate problem completely but it happens much more rare. I've also discovered it happens more often in specific apps (db navigator is one example, an app for German trains).

Is there anywhere a description on how to restore exactly the factory Android 9? I always get the error "downgrade not allowed..." Even though I have advanced in oxygen updater turned on, thought that was going to solve it.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] TweakMan:
I created this thread for the support of having a DIAMOND ROM build , created for us Touch/Vogue owners. As always, its almost impossible to have a developer start such a project based on the request of one person.

So show your support and hopefully we can encourage one of the dev's here to give it a go. This is already available for a couple other phones, which really amazes me, because this is by far the phone it would look best on.:)

I would particularly like to see a DIAMOND style ROM selection that could be used with the PPCGeeks Kitchen. That way we could add the other features we wanted to accompany the Diamond theme. But any diamond rom would be pretty nice.

So if you would also like to see this, show your support here guys and gals. And as always, tune in again. Same XDA time, Same XDA channel!!! :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] gullum:

Hi yes it's WM6.1 but a hybrate build for now because I still need to do some learning.

can you link me to info on getting GPS working and what is REV-A?

and finaly ETA can't say for shure I'm waiting for next version of ThrottleLauncher to be released.

the new setup I use for Throttle makes htc Home, Cube, Action screen, Longpress end key, Audiomanager and almost Comm manager useless and are not going to be in my roms

Because Throttle can replace that in next version and some more stuff too :D

so It's kind of funny because when the ELF first got released I spent monts getting the Cube working on Prophet now I got a ELF last night and the Cube was the first ting I removed :D

[Nook Touch General] dotancohen:
I've taken the liberty of rooking a Nook Glowlight 3 and changing the keymap as follows:

$ cat /system/usr/keylayout/imx-keypad.kl
key 158 BACK
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 139 MENU
key 412 BACK
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 353 DPAD_CENTER
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 115 VOLUME_UP
key 90 BUTTON_B
key 191 3
key 192 1
key 193 2
key 194 4

However, when I press the hardware buttons I do not get the expected numeral keypresses. I had based the idea that this would work off this forum post which states:

Of course, I did reset the device after changing the file, and the output seen here is from running cat after the reset so I know that the file was changed properly. Why might the buttons not present the keypresses expected?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
For keys to work, you've got:

/system/usr/idc/*.idc - provides links to the other two files

/system/usr/keylayout/*.kl - maps hardware inputs to keys

/system/usr/keychars/*.kcm - maps keys to characters

The first thing to note is that B&N (NTX) just sloppily edited example files.

The imx-keypad.kl has a lot of cruft for things that don't exist.

Ok, they don't do any harm unless there is something wrong with them, then the file reading aborts at that line.

If this were the case, you might have seen a line in the dmesg log.

Get UsbMode.apk out of the signature.

Then you can see where the chain of conversion from hardware input to character fails.

(1, 2, 3, 4 is really not a useful usage of the side keys.

It won't do anything reasonable with any non-custom app.

Page up/page down elicits a response from most things.)
[Nook Touch General] dotancohen:
Thank you so much Renate. I was wondering what all that cruft was, I will remove it to see if that is preventing further parsing of the file.

In fact, I use the Nook almost exclusively for AnkiDroid, so the 1,2,3,4 are for that app.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Actually, it's more likely that you edited that text file on a Windows CR/LF text editor.

The system will abort as soon as it sees a CR, 0x0d

You can do a hex dump "hd imx-keypad.kl" right on your Nook.

(Use Notepad++ instead.)
[Nook Touch General] dotancohen:
Very unlikely that VIM on Debian would use CRLF line endings!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, you're not very explicit on what you do get.

Do you get any response? What?

Did you break your Home key?

Use the UsbMode.apk

IMHO, (Android) tablets are the best for media consumption and heavy reading.

I've had two Asus, one (pricey) LG, and the Mi Pad 4 and I like them very much.

What I don't like is to get expensive, outdated and/or unwieldy hardware, and that's why I don't care for low-rez displays, feeble processors and 10-inch form factors.

Granted, tablets tend to last much longer than smartphones but when companies say there's no demand for tablets, what they really mean is there's no demand they are willing to supply for the profit they want. 😶

3. The most important!!! How you unlocked the bootloader if you did unlock this? What the tools you used? The official Sony or from third part?

So, please, write detailed yours problem if you need the help. We cannot help to fix repercussion if you don't say the reason :)

Hello,

Well, I wanted to experiment with Gcam - Camera2api etc and other mods!

Since I can't find yet anything that works with this model, I wanted to re-lock the bootloader and remove the message on start up "Bootloader is unlocked etc etc" and also revert back to original firmware.

I used flashtool - latest version 9.28 (Androxyde) and successfully unlocked the bootloader!

When I tried to re-lock it (As I have done this with previous Xperia phones) I got the error in the 1st post!

If you need any more details please let me know!

Thank you,

But this time I don't see any solutions. I even tried so many commands using fastboot. But non of em worked. Let's hope that Sony will release some kind of commands to relock the bootloader.

use ultimate launch to place touchflo3d on first page and the other plugins on the next page. you can size one page to fit the whole screen so that you can switch between whole pages with your thumb or with a click, like you want

greets, pucki

ps: if you prefer freeware you can use battery status, it can include today plugins as well but you have to create a personal theme on a xml-base. i made it for nike and elf, it should work on diamond also. i'm going to use batterystatus too on the diamond, but we germans has to wait until t-mobile sells the device on july 14th. if you can wait so long i will give you my theme ;)
