Unable to set fingerprint. On fingerprint enter screen - 'Locate the fingerprint sensor....' there is a fingerprint image. It lights the phone when I touch it, but does nothing at all. Finger data is not being entered. I've tried with ambient display on and off - doesn't matter. Please help.

Face unlock works like a breeze :)

UPD: Can it because I have BlueSpark kernel installed?

UPD2: Looks like BlueSpark kernel is to blame. [MENTION=6978541]Stogie87[/MENTION] - does your fingerprint work? Did you install kernel with ROM or afterwards?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Stogie87:
Maybe it is because blue spark, idk.

I have no issues to login via fingerprint and i also can add more fingers with blue spark installed. You flashed the correct blue spark version for custom roms?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BesoC:
right - I've installed OOS kernel. Thanks for suggestion :)
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Muhammad Hatmi bin Saidin:
If im on custom rom, i want to install this rom, must to format data and flash oos twice? Or can flash directly this rom?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] naseefnachi:
You can flash this after doing a factory reset (twrp wipe without intwrnal storage) over a custom rom(10). Any way make a backup, if any thing go wrong just install oos on both slots and install. I have successfully switched custom roms with the first method i mentioned.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Muhammad Hatmi bin Saidin:
Oke..noted..

Can flash only factory reset ya..

Thanks buddy..;)
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
New Build Up! Make sure to read the notes and the changelog carefully. Links updated in the first post and dirty flashing from the previous build is fine.

Source Changelogs:

- Add option to show disabled data

- Add option to hide lock screen status bar

Device Changelogs:

- Switch to ClearVisionKernel

- Introduce OnePlus DeviceSettings to adjust vibration settings, display calibration and customize alert slider configuration

- Add Google Camera MOD

- Show FOD circle below pattern/pin view

- Completely remove Face Unlock

- Setup OTA Updater

-Add tons of other FOD related stuff

Notes:

As I had already said before, Face Unlock has been removed from AncientOS. I know everyone wants features but if we start using closed source components we'll slowly kill the motivation of people, and let's not even start about the implication of the security aspect of it. We should be a community sharing our resources, instead of keeping such secrets for ourselves. In light of the recent DMCA's being thrown at open-source repositories of Megvii's Face Unlock, it had to be removed. Maybe, in the future, if there is an opensource alternative, you guys could see it in our builds.

FOD had always seemed like an afterthought on AncientROM, starting from this release, that isn't the case! The pattern and PIN view have been pushed up to accommodate the fingerprint scanner just above the emergency button. We also have a new FOD icon that goes in line with our UI. Also, we are experimenting with FOD animations and this build introduces a nice simplistic one when you tap the scanner.

OnePlus DeviceSettings is also here allowing you to change display mode calibrations and also enable and disable DC-Dimming. You can also customize each position of the alert slider to do a different action. You can also configure the vibration motor strength for different activities.

ClearVisionKernel's initial release is also present in this ROM, which is focused on smooth UX and performance.

There is also a donation link on the main post and in the updater app if you want to contribute to my server costs. If you do contribute, that would be pretty cool!

Happy flashing, stay home, and stay safe :D

Thanks for the new update @ Ashutosh

Downloading now :D
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BesoC:
Updates always welcome and thanks devs for that. However, removing Face Unlock is a huge disadvantage and looks more like a downgrade for me.... I'll stick to the previous version
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] anandjain2507:
Can anyone provide screenshot of new build?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jrome123:
Anybody got the link to the old build with face unlock please
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] krohme:
Is there any chance the pin entry (from lockscreen section) can be brought down slightly, it's a bit too high.

I know before it was too low and when the 0 digit was pressed it triggered the fingerprint area, but now it's a bit too high
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Cablespider:
It's my understanding that a particular implementation of this feature is closed source, and there are security concerns as a result. If true, I can appreciate devs being responsible when deciding to add features such as this. I believe Motorola had some say in this, as well. I'm not sure if the two are related. I don't use face stuffs, and haven't looked into it. I just saw a brief discussion here in the forums.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BesoC:
Here it is: https://we.tl/t-e6RIfOaBKb

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Not sure what security issue it might have. Literally every phone uses face unlock nowadays. I'd say - if someone is so suspicious about it - well don't use face unlock, that's all. Removing the perfectly working feature from the very extraordinary ROM looks pretty odd, to say the least.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cursist:
one implementation is proprietary from Motorola and they don't want it being used. the other is from a private AI firm. trust level with that is suspect. both are closed source and most ROMs aim to be open source.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] krohme:
Going back to the issue of the lockscreen, perhaps the solution would be to move the emergency button above the fingerprint reader? Like in the attached screenshot, as well as moving the keypad slightly down

At present the emergency button is too close to the fingerprint reader and the number pad is a bit too high up

The 2nd image with the white fod icon is from another ROM and demonstrates what I mean, I believe the emergency button is better situated in this position
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Looks all good here. Maybe the usage of a custom fingerprint icon on your end is messing it up.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] krohme:
I've figured out the cause, it's not caused by the custom substratum fingerprint icon.

The issue occurs when you change the gesture from gesture navigation to something else, such as 3 button navigation.

Can this be looked into at some point?

Btw the new fod amination is uber kool :svetius:
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] shahfaishal:
Face unlock gone in this rom???
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mitchst2:
Read op post announcing update less than 24 hours ago
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] shahfaishal:
Removed because the source is not open-source anymore?

If it's good for security reasons then no issues at all.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
It may have "no issues at all" for some, but for a community based custom ROM completely based on taking user feedback and allowing anyone to even come in and add features to our source, close sourcing parts of our project wasn't a good idea for us.

Edit: I'd also like to note that every single ROM which does have it, keeps it closed source. Paranoid keeps just the face unlock component closed source while Pixen is completely closed source.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] shahfaishal:
Features should be free from any security issues and licensing and all. I see that Pixen rom has face unlock there.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
They use the Motorola Face Unlock.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] shahfaishal:
I'm not into development so i don't know many things like developers and I don't have any tech sources or forums that i follow to know these stuffs. Still i hope best of it.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] :
TL;DR Motorola's Face Unlock is the first implementation and what many of the ROMs, including PE use. Motorola don't want people using that and issued a DCMA takedown of public repositories. The other one is Paranoid Face Sense, which uses SDK from a Chinese company so isn't secure. As of now, there aren't any secure and open source Face Unlock alternatives so it's being removed.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] krohme:
Out of interest, what's everyone's favourite screen calibration setting?

Especially now that we've got more options from the OnePlus setting panel modes

I'm currently using boosted
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
New build up! Hit that thanks button! Downloads updated in first post.

Source Changelogs:

- Add Lockscreen Visualizer

Device Changelogs:

Add new features to ClearVisionKernel:

- Added blu_schedutil governor, not set by default, I suggest you do

- Support for Boeffla wakelock blocker

- Support for KLapse 5.0

- Optimize kgsl memory

Notes:

Pretty straight forward update. OTA will be a bit slow as we are setting it up at the moment.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] silver04v:
Runing great. Thanks for the Klapse and other kernel stuff!

does this rom has gaming mode??
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
New build up! Hit that thanks button! Downloads updated in first post!

Source Changelogs:

- Add scrambled PIN

- Add quick unlock

- Move aosp gestures from under system to AncientSettings

- Move IMEI from About Phone to Sim Status

- Add adaptive playback

- Allow you to automatically copy logs to deldog when an app crashes

Notes:

Scrambled PIN obviously greatly improves the security of your devices if it ever gets physically stolen. No one can simply input your PIN by seeing the prominent fingerprints on your screen because the numbers are completely scrambled around randomly each time!

Quick unlock is a nice little convenience which automatically unlocks your device when the right PIN is entered.

AOSP Gestures has now been lifted out of the system section in settings and moved to Gestures under AncientSettings. You can enable navigation gestures, Double tap power button for camera, off-screen gestures and adaptive playback here.

IMEI information has been moved from About Phone to SIM Status because this information is sensitive and should not be in the forefront of the about phone menu. We have also removed phone number preference as this is already in sim status.

Adaptive Playback is a feature which automatically pause media when muted and resume if unmuted within a user-specified time in the gestures section. Your media will also resume if you restore the volume again as well.

Finally app development and reporting crashes to devs had become much easier! Now, whenever an app crashes, the crash menu will also prompt you whether you want to copy the crash log url. This URL consists of an automatically saved log which is stored at https://del.dog . Hence, internet access is required for this to work. Once an app crashes, copy the URL and paste it and send it to the devs. No root access, ADB fiddling or setting up Matlog required!

Small update on Google SafetyNet

Google seems to have rolled back their decision to enforce CTS profile failures over bootloader unlocked devices.

So, FOR NOW, you should all pass CTS again.

Mind that we don't know when and if this situation will be permanent.

So when and if you experience problems with SafetyNet, it's not about the ROM, but about Google itself.

If you're still not passing CTS, please, be sure to be on the latest GMS update available.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SentraXx:
After the last 2 updates, magisk wont pass the safety net. Before updating, everything was correct. But now, it wont work even though ive done all the steps said in the first post.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] davy4475:

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SentraXx:

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SentraXx:
Solved, uninstalled and installed Magisk and now works perfectly.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emilio242:
Does this have split screen option?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] krohme:
Yes it does, you can also force the system to allow all apps to function in split screen mode (via developer options)

As by default some apps will return a not supported message.

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
You will have to clone the device sources manually from our ancient-devices GitHub page. You can take a look at the dependencies to get started. I apologize from my end for not making the building process more streamlined. This is due to me naming the device source branch for fajita as '10' instead of 'ten'. I'll fix that up soon.

Edit: Should be fixed now. No need to manually clone device sources.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] thomas.raines:
Awesome! Thanks. I was actually about to work on it, but instead I'll enjoy my coffee and run a build...
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:

Download links updated in first post. AncientOS is also bringing MicroG builds exclusively for fajita. MicroG builds need to be clean flashed if you are coming from a GApps build and they won't be receiving OTAs and need to be manually updated. We have all the required components to running your phone GApps free in our MicroG builds. To learn more about MicroG, head on over here: https://microg.org/. To see what is exactly available in our MicroG packages, go here: https://github.com/Ancient-Lab/android_prebuilts_prebuiltapks

Sourceforge mobile blocks the GApps and MicroG tags. So download carefully.

Obviously don't flash GApps on either builds

Happy flashing!

The main reason for locking bootloader is sell mobile or give to the next generation (family)

But locked bootloader didn't ask for food let it be,

If something went wrong realme doesn't provided flashing tool so u have to go to service center ,

As well if possible don't downgrade device it's also not recommended becouse some device get in big trouble eg my old moto g5s plus loss IMEI

Tso follow as per wish
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] canago:
I'm looking to root a Samsung Galazy Core LTE SM-G386W phone. The reason for rooting is because all the pictures were deleted from the phone and the recovery app needs root access. I would prefer to use a one click root app like Kingoroot but after looking at reviews on this website it appears some users had additional applications installed that they didn't approve. Preferably, I would like to use a one click rooting app or a similar desktop version. I've read that unlocking a bootloader would wipe all the data from the phone and possibly make the already deleted picture irretrievable. If need be, I don't mind using Kingoroot to root the device, retrieve the pictures, and do a fresh install of the OS. But if this is the case, I will need to know the correct steps to take to create a recovery image and how to perform the actual recovery. Looking forward to hearing the best way to proceed.

Device Details

Model: SM-G386W

Android Version: 4.4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] refrigerador67:
You can try Kingoroot or Kingroot, if doesnt work, you will need to install a custom recovery and flash Magisk Manager which is better than SuperSu. But to do a recovery image you NEED a custom recovery.

To install it you will have to download the md5 file from the website, in this case, TWRP, download odin 3 from its website too, with the phone turned off we press the power key, the home key and the volume down key and press continue afterwards. we open odin 3 we check the AP box and look for the md5 file, connect the phone via usb (with the samsung drivers installed) and press start.

If you need to ask another thing i´m here.

Sorry for my horrible english, isnt my first language
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] canago:
Is there a way to create a full backup of the phone (NANDroid backup) without having root access? I don't want to use Kingoroot or KingRoot without making a recovery image first as it might put a virus on the phone.

Alternatively, is there a safe way (no adware or malware) to root a phone without unlocking the bootloader? I can't seem to find out if Magisk Root, Framaroot, Towelroot, or CF-Auto-Root require an unlocked bootloader for root?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Lossyx:
I don't think the LOS developers will build / support for any device without a working TWRP, which includes 7T / Pro.

So it's up to people on their hobby with the device to build an unofficial LineageOS.

If I'm not mistaken, Paranoid Android will come soon and support 7T / Pro, not sure when though.

OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro have an official TWRP AND PAGES of custom ROMS and kernels. Why not 7T?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Lossyx:
Because TWRP is not fully functional now.

But building ROM for devices without TWRP is not any harder, so I don't know.

There are most likely other ROMs in telegram, treskmod for example. And most kernels are unified now, if they work for 7 Pro they work for 7T/Pro.
