[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Hi folks,

What we used as beta ROM is now published as official stable release known as version RMX1991_11.C.12 for Chinese model of Realme X2.

Probably anyone can upgrade the phone now in any possible way.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
The bad news is FP stops working as soon as you patch vbmeta for disabling AVB...
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
The good news is that there's no verification of system partition. You can leave vbmeta untouched and modify whatever you want except boot.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlAneed:
Then, you will not loose fingerprint?
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Exactly
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlAneed:
Magisk can be installed and we still have the fingerprint working?
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
No, Magisk is patching boot, which will require you to disable verification by means of vbmeta. You can try system-based methods like one of SuperSU.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] osamanazim:
but in order to fix twrp replace issue vbmeta verification is needed to be disabled right??
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlAneed:
I will try to search for it. Is it just a normal app to install from Play store? or requires other method?

One more thing, TWRP working with it or no?

Thanks

I guess I am not able to understand how to do root? I searched for system base root in the web with no luck

Would you mind explaining how to do root without Magisk?
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
No. At least a few last CN ROM versions are insensitive to recovery replacement. You can keep stock vbmeta and flash custom recovery. But recovery will be replaced when you boot system, i.e. you flash custom recovery for single and immediate use :)
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikelsteven:
Will i lose any file if i update from color os 6.1 to realme ui or i need to backup first?
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Backup is a nice thing. I would always insist on creating backup.

I successfully switched onto realmeUI without losing data. As I understand, you have to do it from A.17 (for CN device). My path was A.16 -> C.02, but now many are suggested to upgrade from A.17 straight to C.12.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikelsteven:
Thanks man. I don't know what reliable backup method i can use on an unrooted phone. I'm on A17 so i guess it's safe to upgrade without backup. Again, have u experienced any bug so far on realme ui?
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] yakovpol:
Put some labour on searching through Internet please. So you will be sure if to update or not :)

To me it works just fine.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] verbatino:
Black Screen problems while playing COD Mobile. Iit is a common problem on sobre Android 10 upgraded devices.

But all the rest of software running and working smoothly.
[Realme X2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkffiirr:
can someone please confirm if the feature of Waze returning to top during voice call is working? i have the globalized version by mettis and it doesn't work there (have CN device)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yoeleli:
Hi all,

I have my OP6 for about a year and a half now, and I'm pretty sure I've noticed a decrease in battery life.

I tried searching, but couldn't find any reliable way to determine battery health?

Would appreciate any advice :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] TexnoViking:
Well, I don't know about reliable :D I have used AccuBattery app. It logs your current and voltage during charging and discharging phases and calculates your real battery capacity. The more charge cycles, the more accurate the result.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] quimbexa:
IMO don't worry too much about it. I did it with my OPO and honeslt there was no point, I was just obsessing over the battery degradation. Just use the phone and if the battery really starts to go downhill then order a new one.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yoeleli:
Yeah, that's a good tactic :p

I think the battery got worse due to a couple of factors, including capacity degradation. (According to AccuBattery it's about 85-86%)

Did you replace your battery on your own? I saw a video online and it looked a bit complicated.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] quimbexa:
Yes I did, really wasn't much of a problem. The only thing is that it might take you a few tries till you get a decent battery. I did order mine from Ali Express and they're not always the best quality.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RedDeadDorito:
AccuBattery is tried and true to me. I once used it to measure a new battery that was advertised as 3000mAh but written on the battery was '2800mAh'. Surely enough, after a few days of running it, it said it was 2800mAh on the dot.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] °Washy:
IMO accubattery Is trash. He Always recognized battery capacity about 86% (2900-3000). I had the same value now and 2 Years ago so...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] quimbexa:
I installed it on mine a couple of days ago. I now know my 2 year old battery is at 77% of its initial battery. Battery life is still good though, but I might be investing on a new one from AliExpress sometime soon.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Muhammad Hatmi bin Saidin:
On num (10) wipe data or format data?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Please don't quote the whole OP. You have to wipe data.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AnierinB:
You actually need to Format Data, not wipe data. Your instructions are going to cause bootloops to recovery.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] aniesh1114:
Does this rom have aod feature.. Also smart charging is one plus wrap charging ???
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Deleted member 8892904:
Another awesome ROM. Thanks OP. Will try this ASAP.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] athulda:
Reserved. (will update after trying this ROM)
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
I'm pretty sure you need to format if you're only coming from OOS.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Smart charging is to control the maximum charging level to improve battery health. The rom has always-on display.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] syedrhashmi:
Nice to see a new ROM, WOW

---------- Post added at 04:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 AM ----------

Screenshots please?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Did you look at the post? It's in the screenshots section in devdb on the website or just below the sources in the mobile app.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] syedrhashmi:
Screenshots in Telegram is bit confusing.

You should not question on someone's doubt?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] areyouanand:
Here are some screenshots
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Suhas_JS:
How did you change the Status bar icons??? Magisk modules??? Xposed?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
It's a feature in the ROM.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
It's not in telegram it's in the original post take a look carefully.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Suhas_JS:
Wow!!! How could I miss it!!?? Just saw that. Amazing!!!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vikram.mohal:
Home screen ?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Homescreen is basic Quickstep Launcher. Icon pack support over basic Launcher3 with Google Feed.

Ok so I am coming from a stock oos 10.3.3 ROM. but it seems to be at there is a lot of discussion weather to perform a format after flashing ancient ROM. Or a wipe after flashing ancient Rom... Which is it and can someone please confirm it works
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kingpenguin001:
Thinking to give this ROM a try.

Coming from other custom ROM.

Anything specific I need to take care..

Just wipe cache, install ancient and twrp installer...boot !..rt?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Updated flashing instructions in the first post!

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kingpenguin001:
Up and running now!!

It's smooth!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kingpenguin001:
Have to move out of this ROM due to a minor glitch..my bank apps are not working.

Btw : This RoM's telegram channel is so active..

Got to talk to maintainer and he suggested to revert to OOS..

I'm going to miss this ROM..until magisk comes with some updates..

Still on April's build, hoping that face unlock will be back in near future:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

*Update: Seems not working in this rom, sorry.

Regards
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BesoC:
Hmmm looks very interesting :good:. Do you have any info about what face unlock is it - Motorola of some other?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Stogie87:
It you click on the link in the descryption you will see, that it is from google. :)

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...release/trusted-face-10-android-apk-download/

But i don't know if that works, cause i am on microG build and i don't want faceunlock on my device by google. Only a open source solution would be interesting.

*Update: Seems not working in this rom, sorry.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nousernamesorry:
Hey, Thanks for sharing my video. Cheers!

It works on an AOSP rom, It was working great on my CrDroid 6 rom, and Im assuming it should work on other devices too. If it works, please share and like the video.

Thanks again
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BesoC:
Unfortunately, it does not work :( I've updated to latest version of AncientRom - 3.7, installed TrustedFace.apk, but no FaceUnlock menu entry neither in Security nor in Smart Lock sections.

Guess I'll wait for some time for Face unlock to be back on this otherwise great ROM. If not, I'll switch to the one that has it.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nousernamesorry:
Hey,

Is anyone else facing problems related to videoplayback?

Im not able to get any kind of video to stream, as in, the video stutters, on primevideo/youtube, or doesnt play at all on instagram or stays muted.

Edit. :

I had installed OOS 10.3.1.

Could that be causing the issue?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kingpenguin001:
Ok here I am once again.

Worked with Ashutosh, he guided me to go thru safetynet check steps.

And as suggested by him,did all the steps....and voila!!!

I'm up and running now on AncientOS
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Please use the required firmware as stated in OP.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Stogie87:
Okay, thanks for reply. I am sorry for that.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] BesoC:
No worries :) May my experience will be helpful for other guys around here

How to install google play store on this ROM.. I need google stuff to work on some apps
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Use the GApps version of this ROM. I assume you installed the MicroG version? Clean flash to the GApps version and next time be careful of what version you are flashing.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nousernamesorry:
Of

Download the Gapps version of the rom, Gapps are installed when installing the rom itself.

Edit: Didn't see someone already replied :D
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] krohme:
Has anyone tried Citra (official build from play store) Nintendo 3DS emulator on this ROM?

I get great snappy performance with this ROM overall and every other game I've played have been smooth, but for some reason Citra running Pokémon X is slow, glitchy and the audio stutters non stop.

Tried different cpu governors and changed settings in Citra, hasn't made a difference.

Reports online from others suggest it runs almost flawlessly on their OnePlus 6t, trying to pin point the issue I'm facing.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Have you tried the unofficial one from GitHub? I used to play Pokemon Alpha Sapphire a month ago with it and it was stable at 30 fps.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] krohme:
I'll give that a try :good:
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nseternal230:
Does this rom has options to change font ?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TRexombo:
Internet

Hey guys, nice ROM. Very smooth. Lots of unique features. I installed the MicroG variant. I have been using MicroG for a long time.

By the way, I get no internet connection on Ancient when on mobile data. I can make calls and send SMS but can't browse internet unless I connect to WiFi. :confused: Also in MicroG settings, can I add a Geolocation back end? It only has Mozilla back end and I prefer Deja Vu. Also fake play store does not have signature spoofing permission. When I go to permissions in settings, the option is greyed out and I am unable to provide it with the permissions required. Thank you

Edit: Well I figured out the problem in connecting to the internet. For some reason, my APN wasn't activated. But I want to add another problem to the list. I can't send/receive MMS
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Stogie87:
Hi there,

you can simply install Deja Vu location service from F-Droid and switch to it in microG. I did the same and it was working. :)

https://f-droid.org/app/org.fitchfamily.android.dejavu
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TRexombo:
Thank you Stogie! I will do that. Also, I figured out how to send/receive MMS. I installed QKSMS and it works.

I found another issue. On the basic MicroG version of Ancient, when I attempt to set a ringtone or notification tone, I get an error and it says system must close
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] shaharofir:
Android Auto

Seems that Android auto force closes every time. Am I the only one with this issue? Any help would be much appreciated
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Heya. Android Auto has just been fixed in the source again. You will have to wait for the next release.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] shaharofir:
Many thanks. I hope that the release will come soon as this ROM is the best I've tried and I wish to continue it as my daily driver. Thanks again

Yes this is a known issue on microG builds. You can install the Pixel sound picker from APKMirror for now.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TRexombo:
OK thank you. Unfortunately there were so many hurdles to overcome in the MicroG variant of Ancient that I found a temporary solution. I decided to just flash the gapps version because everything seems to be working in it, then in twrp even though op instructs us not to flash gapps, I flashed magisk, rebooted to system, rebooted to twrp and flashed nanodroid open source installer, rebooted to system and started debloating in terminal emulator debloater to remove as much of the google bloat as possible. Everything seems to be running smoothly. Will update after I finish totally debloating.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emilio242:
I have sort of the same problem with data. I have 2 Sims. The data works fine on one and the other nothing. And both apns are activated. I usually switched between the two prior to the rom. And I never figured out why that happens.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TRexombo:
I feel you brother. I'm not sure what's going on when it comes to 2 Sims. I've never ran 2 but when I flashed the MicroG version of Ancient Rom, there were issues I just could not fix so I flashed the gapps version and uninstalled all the google stuff.

Gapps version of Ancient runs smoothly. Hopefully devs are working on the MicroG version. Maybe a future release will work all the kinks out.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] silver04v:
Im actually losing data connection on both wifi and mostly regular 4g lte data. Way more often on this new build. Well I should say, this is the first it has come up since running it for months now.

running tmobile network. But again, this is new it seems on newest build. Sometimes its gone for a long period of time, sometimes only seconds.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] emilio242:
Hopefully they do.

☹️☹️ damn ! I built this in April ☹️ did not post due to

RIL : bug ? n now its here .. good rom .. looks pretty amazing ??
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Hello everyone. I'm sorry for all the network connectivity issues. There will be a hotfix build today.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kingpenguin001:
I remember this was discussed in there Telegram channel. And its planned for a fix in next release.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Stogie87:
Yes, that is a known issue. I temporarily fixed this through installing the Google Tones app apk manually.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
New build up! Hit the thanks button!

This is a hotfix build and is mainly intended for fixing critical bugs and issues. No major features have been added. June security patch and the monthly release would drop around June 15th as usual.

Changelog (For GApps and Vanilla):

- Fixed Lockscreen Visualizer not turning off (Removed Lava Lamp for the moment)

- Simplify Gaming Mode to a tile

- Fixed AncientSettings LockScreen customization minimum values (Fixes AncientSettings crash when using particular values)

- Import better display calibrations

- Completely rebase ClearVisionKernel (Performance should be improved)

- Remove Pixel Live Wallpapers and Google Camera (Can be installed by the user. Let us keep it simple)

- Import Telephony overlays (Should fix RIL for many carriers)

- Add many new AncientUI Overlays

- Address Watchdog Display crash (Should fix Android Auto)

Also, MicroG builds have been dropped for fajita. Instead, we are offering Vanilla builds now. These builds are GApps free and are meant to be used along with NanoDroid MicroG (I felt like this was the superior implementation of MicroG, and hence I decided to publish a more flexible Vanilla build.) The SoundPicker issue has also been fixed in the Vanilla build as it now comes prebuilt with a Sound Picker. Vanilla build already has UnifiedNLP support and all the other commits required for MicroG to work. Both GApps and Vanilla builds support signature spoofing. OTA will soon roll out for GApps build. Vanilla build will not receive OTAs as usual.

Edit: OTA pushed

Happy flashing!

Thank you [MENTION=7730292]Ashutosh Sundresh[/MENTION]! This is great news. Ancient team works fast!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TRexombo:
Just installed Vanilla, flashed nanodroid and magisk but after booting into Ancient I am now having the same connection issues that [MENTION=4644448]emilio242[/MENTION] is having. No internet connection while on mobile network. I can connect when using wifi :confused:
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ashutosh Sundresh:
Yes I finally understood the root of this problem. PixelExperience was experimenting with carrier settings last month and they broke APNs for several carriers so in our upstream some stuff had broken. We need to revert these CarrierSettings commits and I think we will be golden.

I'll probably release a hot hotfix build tomorrow testing this. [MENTION=6016182]TRexombo[/MENTION] thanks a lot for testing it this fast!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Stogie87:
Can you try blue spark kernel for custom roms and report, if the issue still persist?

I had the same issue with every illusion based kernel and the only working kernel for me is blue spark until now.
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TRexombo:
Thank you [MENTION=7730292]Ashutosh Sundresh[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6978541]Stogie87[/MENTION]! I'm glad you discovered the issue behind this but while I was waiting for your reply I decided to go into the APN settings and add another APN (I'm on Verizon) and I thought maybe there was some setting that was off on the default Verizon APN but that wasn't what ended up solving my issue.

I reverted back to default and it automatically picked vzwinternet but upon reboot, still no connection so just by accident I unchecked it. I had no APN selected, then I rebooted and apparently with none selected, it automatically selected vzwinternet and it worked!

I guess for some reason it did not want me to select my APN manually. Apparently the system wanted to be able to select it itself :confused::laugh:

Either way, thanks! You guys are the greatest! Loving this ROM
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] shaharofir:
[MENTION=7730292]Ashutosh Sundresh[/MENTION] Thanks for the update, however, it seems that FP functionality is gone. Android Auto still doesn't work.

As always, many thanks for all the hard work and the best ROM I've run on all my devices!
