Stay clear of opengapps beta? Accordingly whats Gapps we recommend for this ROM?

I think it is a bit complicated to develop a ROM without having the device.

You can develop a ROM from KERNEL for any device but then you need a lot of logs :o
[Nexus 5X Android Development] sparx:
I have the device, I don't build blind...

Opengapps beta break stuff, as tested and confirmed by me and others
[Nexus 5X Android Development] panamera2011:
Ok, you're a serious developer.

I'm currently on Nexus ROM, Can you indicate alternative Gapps to OpenGapps beta for this rom? Thanks

Hi,

thx again for the nice Rom.

As always: good work! Rom runs pretty flawless for me.

One thing is observed is that clock&date position in the statusbar differs for lockscreen and homescreen!

It's solid and stable overall. No battery drain. But I have one issue. Google Chrome refuse to open any sites, then freez. I think it's permission stuff or something, idk tho.. Here's some logs, I hope it helps

Hi Mate, I have installed latest Validus ROM, im having an issue with chrome, it refuses to load any url, also chrome dev has the same issue.

I have also installed latest opengapps pico.

Hi devs, firstly thanks a lot for contributing this rom! Is the current GZOSP or Validus stable enough for daily use(non-gaming)?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Nzivv:
That's the same question that worries me.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Damacy:
This was both Validus and GZOSP unfortunately... Though the latest Pixel Experience works just fine.

It's those errors where the app crashes and keeps crashing. This happened during initial setup of the ROM, using the gapps that was linked in the first post.

I found an issue. Volume control is borked. Media volume cannot be controlled. Alarm volume is controlled by media volume. Alarm volume control does nothing as far as I can tell. And I haven't tested ringer or notification volume.

Other than volume rocker issues, this ROM is working awesome! It is very fast and good on battery(without GApps anyway.) :laugh:

Back up everything including files from internal storage to PC before flashing.

If bootloader appears after flashing, format internal storage, then copy ROM and other zips back to phone while connected to PC and still in TWRP after formatting.

Then do a clean install, boot up to system, set up, then copy all your files back from PC

My experiene with Validus

I have installed the latest validus ROM on 2 nexus 5X devices, a 16 GB and a 32 GB that needs a bootloop fix.

I installed open gapps micro for arm64.

The devices appear stable and battery life is good. The one issue I see is that the battery percentage does work. Basically it does nothing.

Besides this, the ROM is nice, stable and solid.

Prior to this, I tried installing lineage17 (does not boot) and PE and PEplus (installs but not stable).

Nexus ROM also runs fine but i am sticking with Validus as that seems to have VOLTE provisioned, unlike Nexus ROM.

Thanks again for the work.

I should have clarified that the battery percentage does work when the phone is charging. It does NOT display the percentage when not charging.

Hi guys,

Even though VOLTE provisioned slider shows enabled (*#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information), I still see that a phone call on Tmobile from this device drops network from LTE to 3G. I have flashed the Dec 2018 stock 8.1 image back on the same device and network stays at LTE even a voice call is in progress. There is an "Enhanced LTE mode" in stock 8.1 as well.

Is VOLTE supported in this ROM?

thanks

[General Questions and Answers] bmaz121:
I have been reading GitHub about SafetyPatch and it says to flash from magisk. Magisk 20.1 does not have a flash option. What were they taking about? My safety check is failing and SafetyPatch is supposed to fix that. I have Magisk hide on yet I read that if you turn it on and off that fixes the safety check but I have no on off button in magisk for hide. I click hide and I get a list of apps with a check mark. So, does the check mark mean hidden or not hidden. Don't know how to check that. I don't know if Magisk has incorporated SafetyPatch in Magisk 20.1. Using bootleggers Pie on OnePlus One.

On another question. How hard is it for a developer to pick up an abandoned app, like from 2015, and write it for Android 8 +. I don't want to use Google sync or cloud sync. There are old apps out there that did Phone to PC sync just fine so why not keep them updated. CheetahSync was one. Can some one explain what happened? I Google CheetahSync and no published reason for dropping app.

Just unlocked and rooted my phone and used Magisk Hide to hide my remote play app. I've also downloaded the Remote pay enabler module in the downloads section. However, it's still not playable. The Remote play app was working flawlessly before the bootloader unlock, now I got nothing. Any ideas on what else I need to hide to get my remote play working again?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] zeusofyork:
Did you Force stop and clear storage for the app then reopen?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Inous:
Yes, however I just got it working! The fix was that Magisk Manager needs to be hidden (settings > General > Hide Magisk Manager). I repacked it with the name Manager and it started working! I guess PS4 Remote Play looks for Magisk Manager and assumes you're rooted.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DanGlee:
Hi,

This is my first post here, but the site is great and I've been coming back here for about 2 weeks while trying to decide if I should buy a diamond and I have to say the people, reviews and discussions have certainly swayed my choice into getting one. It was touch and go (pardon the pun) for a while after some initial bad reviews, but since the ROM update it seems everybody is a lot happier! I know it will take a bit of tweaking, but I'm a S/W engineer, so its nothing I'm afraid of, but it will be my first WM device, so I'm a little scared...

I nearly opted for the iPhone, but its a brick, if not a pretty cool device, but I want something that I can put in my pocket and use as a normal phone... I have an iPod for music and videos, a phone is a phone (but the GPS rocks)

Anyway, I digress, I do have only 2 questions and the first one is pretty redundant from reading this forum, but here goes:

I saw a Touch Diamond for sale on eBay and the guy selling it said that he was selling it because he was disappointed because when he came to use the GPS it was a lie and that he needed an extra component and had to carry something else around? Whats all this about. I did freak a little when I read in all the spec sheets that it was GPS "READY"... what does READY mean? I assume it comes with it all from reading the reviews.

Second question, since my mind is pretty made up and I will be getting one, where is the best place to buy one (for the UK, and UK spec) I'm not looking for cheapness, as i know they are knew and average is around £450ish (inc VAT and Delivery) but dunno where to get one from (Not eBay anyway) any advice on the best online shop, or if anybody knows of any shops that sell them (in Manchester) that would be great.

Thanks for any help in advance!

DG
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Plenty of places in the UK to buy them from, if you had done a search you would have found a thread that listed all the places in UK that are selling them and they are uk spec.

But for you ill name a few:

www.expansys.com now have the official uk spec Diamonds

www.clove.co.uk

www.play.com

www.totalpda.co.uk

www.powerupmobile.com

www.htcdirect.co.uk

those are your best bets...think Expansys is based in Manchester but dont know if they allow you to go there and pick up the phone...best to ring them i suppose.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mean-machine:
I would recommend Play.com. Never had any problems with them and at the moment it's only £399.99 with free delivery. Others sell it for about £435 or £440.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DanGlee:
Yeah, sorry, should have done a search, but battery was dying on the laptop and no plug in sight!

Anyway, thanks for the links guys. I did heard that expansys were selling non official versions and thats one reason I asked, I have used them before but for nothing really as expensive as this.

Thats really cheap for Play, I may used them since I have an account with them...somewhere!

Now I will have the agonising wait and ensuing dissapointment that when I wake up the postman hasn't brought it :) its going to be a LONG week!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] p3eps:
The general consensus is that this is only if you're a business customer buying an additional handset for your account.

Surely if most places are selling it for £400+ Vodafone won't be giving them away with no contract?!

I saw the eBay one with the guy saying no GPS too - and got a bit worried about my pre order one. I actually emailed him and asked about it. He replied saying it was GPS Ready, but needed additional hardware. After a bit of research I emailed him back again saying I was sure it definately had it built in - within another day the auction had closed early!

Whether he'd done a quick sale, or realised his error - who knows?!

Play is the best price - unless you can get a bargain on eBay. Watch out for 'Next Day' sellers whos small print says a week+ unless you pay extra postage!

WARNING!!! if you buy from play.com in the UK, you'll have to pay VAT tax as the unit will probably be held up in customs.. reason being, Play.com ships from a tax free zone.

If it is a USA order

If you are in the US, then the best place to buy the phone is from Ryan at Negri Electronics. I had a problem with the first two phones (the first was a power issue, the second was wifi). I emailed them in the morning, and by the afternoon I had a UPS overnight tracking order. They included return labels, and it was no questions asked. I have bought all my luxry phones starting back at the Nokia 8800 and up til now (yes I have a addiction for cell phones). NEVER HAD A SINGLE ISSUE! The Diamond also registered on the HTC site. The phone is shrink wrapped in the retail package (he has a network, and actually travels to get the product on or before release that are not grey's). Price my be higher or lower but not by much. I trully think its worth it, because you don't have to wonder about what your are getting or when. They ship the next business day (I gotta give them credit on their speed and customer service. The answer emails right away, and phone calls are 99% answered, and messages are returned immediately.

Heres the direct link: DIAMOND- http://www.negrielectronics.com/touch-diamond-unlocked-p-1506.html

DIAMOND PRO: http://www.negrielectronics.com/htc-touch-pro-p-1530.html

Desktop CRADLE: http://www.negrielectronics.com/touch-diamond-desktop-cradle-g300-p-1526.html

Just a general question on bootloaders.

I have a habit of not updating it unless I am have issues at some point. I still have a V2 bootloader and have had no issues.

I have read here that for flashing g, I will have to so have a g bootloader.

If I do, will I be able to restore or flash pie roms, and if so, am I limited to only V7 bootloaders, as that is what the g firmware is based on ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
i dont know what you mean when you say g bootloader, all of the bootloaders are represented by a number. Your thoughts on how the bootloaders works tho, is correct. Once you flash a BL, you cannot go backwards to a previous BL. If youre rooted and want to run ROMs from back in that timeframe, you should be good as they are mostly backwards compatible, however the opposite is not true. There are many ROMs that require a newer BL, and that can cause you issues
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] gaww:
By g I meant android 10 Q

The only custom 10 Rom I have seen is ambasadii beta, and he stated it would have to have a Q bootloader. I tried without it, but it would not boot. It is a U7 bootloader, as is the latest pie roms and firmware.

One other thing - would a rom that was based on an earlier BL work on the newer U7 BL ?

Greetings!

Browsing the forum I have figured that currently(January 2020) no custom ROM is available for PX6 which came with STM32 MCU.

As probably many owner have noticed the stock ROM has many flaw and severe deficiency/complete lack of customization.

As far as I know, sadly no Hal9k ROM development is planned for STM32 model currently. :crying:

I think many head unit is already or being shipped with STM32 MCU and I have a feeling that many hobby hacker (who can only install a ROM) including myself would be grateful having a sophisticated ROM for this model too.

I would like to ask owners as well to use this thread and express if they are also in need for a custom ROM.

Thank you! :highfive:

Hello to all!

After some days owning one of our favorite HU I gathered some info I want to share with yall. :cyclops:

Due to some random system reboot during normal operation I have also conducted investigation on heat dissipation. Simply put, these HUs has bad heat dissipation from factory.

The system during an AnTuTu CPU stress test hit 80 C which is not healthy for the unit and it can cause thermal shutdown as thermal throttling is not sufficiently implemented.

I added a medium sized heat sink and that reduced peak temperature to around 50 C.

To make the system cool on hot summer days I added also a 30x30x10 fan. With fan the peak reduced to around 40 C.

After the modification my HU is running stable, I was not able to make it reboot so far no matter how hard I use it.

P.S.: If any1 has info on the 4-pin connector next to the big white connector please let me know!

Update: added images with cooling added.
