Thanks! Can I ask why you have decided to remove screen off fod?

Highly recommended.

Hey guys

I'm on the other pa build " using oss vendor"

I liked it so far but there are some toggles missing.

So I wanted to ask you guys, ( auto brightness toggle, 3 f swipe screenshot, heads_up toggle) are those features included in this rom?

thanks to the dev.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] slavke1976:
But on that telegram group they said it will be soon official, so what is official unofficial version of PA?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] harshs91:
There is nothing like "official unofficial" dude. xD

Anyone can build their version of PA, all these versions will be unofficial.

If a rom has several devs working on it, they are free to build their own versions, all these versions will be unofficial.

Hi, ..can I ask if the google dialer framework magisk module has an effect on the data connections and google services. Of late, I'm getting dropped wifi and while my data is on I get an exclamation mark in the network signal..this means my google services aren't working. The issue rectifies itself once I unlock the device!

I don't have a lot of modules except for this and fde.ai, device personalization services, cloudflare dns, youtube vanced, camera2api...I started noticing this issue when I enabled the dialer framework and google phone app (as default)...I did disable oneplus dialer apk as it was interfering the with the outgoing call...

Please let me know your thoughts

I've been out of BA scene for ages, since I got my Hermes. After that I put my own version of 2003SE back on with a nice EXTROM installation to amend it (See attachments).

Up to then I played around with numerous WM5 BA roms, most notably from xplode and helmi_c, but for the last 2 years or so I've been messing about with the Hermes and Universal and using the BA just for gaming.

Having just picked up a bricked phone for a fair price to all parties on ebay and unbricked it I fancy getting WM6 on the go.

I've done the usual reading through all the threads and gone back through wiki - the BA section's changed a fair bit in last couple of years.

In short, it's that question that tends to get a lot of flack. I'm Mister Minimal when it comes to roms - anyone who's done a lot of kitchen cooking able to recommend a good setup/set of oems/drivers without my sopending the same 6 months experimenting that I always do with a new phone?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Anyone who does a clean HR of BA 2003SE by the way might want to try the attached before putting their own, realsetup on. It's what my start menu looks like after the first couple of cabs go on but before my actual software. The icons I've nicked from everywhere from pc windows to forums and I've no idea who designed what - none of the icons are my design.

All of the other progs which install from my EXTOM or Storage (internal, not SD Card) follow the same convention in the start menu, so java, other media players, etc go into relevant folders. Also the comms icons like wireless modem, wireless manager (which come from another cab but has other cack in it so not attached).

It's quite a nice setup, the start menu stuff attached just gives an indicator as to which way I've gone with 2003. I particularly like the Divison of Office and Outlook in the main start menu.

I think the del icons cab has to be run by autoron if memory serves, as it uses registry to delete icons.

Tried this ROM yesterday, installation with no problems, running fine with immensity kernel, but I noticed that there is no "recent apps" list?

Also the gallery did not work for me, could not select any picture plus couldn't select any picture to send in whatsapp, there was even no picture bar on the bottom, just the camera opened to take a shot.

But maybe that was my fault, deleting some apps I didn't need.

Also I was wondering what is the "HD" sign meaning next to the signal bars?

My phone is on ATT but I got it from the Razer Store. I don't care if there is a carrier logo when I turn on the phone. It says you can install a carrier image on a phone from the Razer Store, but make sure it is your carrier.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] jonchance_84:
I'd stay on global build. Att build looks to be global plus a little bloat.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] JDBarlow:
I did and I could be wrong but it seems like I have a better radio and data is faster/more stable?? I'm too lazy to test right now because I like it better than global so far :cowboy:

I don't really notice any performance difference other than the data

Gang,

Just a recap about the Jan 2020 update for Pixel devices.

Functional updates: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/24852169 (incl. some wi-fi stability fixes)

Security updates: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/pixel/2020-01-01

Our Pixel 2 XL got a ~9.1MB update, which in my opinion (and my user experience) shows how stable it is nowadays.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Yeah it is pretty stable barring few issues like lock screen sound is gone. WiFi still keeps dropping for me at times.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] arturiu:
I never had noticeable wifi issues with my phone, both at 2.4 and 5 GHz networks, at home, work or traveling. I'm on stock ROM.

There could be a few toxic combinations of AP model, network and channel which may cause instability, but I never noticed that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] arturiu:
Oh, and my lock/unlock sounds work as expected. I never had to reset the device, though, and that seems to be one of the root causes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
i think it is more related to how i hold the phone. i think i disrupt the antenna signal. I m not sure however.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lughnasadh:

I passed on the December update due to the new Gestures crashing - and the inevitable factory reset.

Does anyone know whether I can update from November to January without having to factory reset?

Cheers!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Sure you can. Just fastboot the January factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat file. Make sure to disable all magisk modules and substratum themes first, set your screen lock to swipe, and update your platform-tools. And there ya go :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Langduscher:
Cheers for your swift reply Badger!

What I really meant was: with Nov to Dec, new gestures were broken and required a factory reset to get to normal state.

What I'm looking for is if I flash -w, will it still break gestures to the point of a needed factory reset? Or can I update/ flash -w and not having to factory reset?

Cheers!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Hard to say my friend. Month to month builds are comprehensive and inclusive. I would first try fastbooting without the -w first so you don't wipe data. If the problem persists, then do a factory reset, which you would do anyway if you did a clean fastboot install. Here is a list of fixes for January if that helps at all. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/24852169?hl=en :good:

My gestures are really glitchy and i frequently get defaulted back to the pixel launcher from my action launcher which supports the Android 10 gestures. I also get a lot of freezes/delays. I was running stock with magisk and kirasukura kernel. So I backed up my entire SD to my PC and now Im about to do a full wipe (keeping the -w in the flashall.bat file) and start android 10 fresh. For me its been long overdue.
