[OnePlus 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] timerrington:
Congratulations, great ROM - well done. Sorry in advance for the long post.

I do have strange occasional freezes, but nothing unexpected for a phone that is out of support - they don't cause reboots or shutdowns, just annoyance. Most recently I was using Kang and before that EvolutionX, both of which were abandoned for the Oneplus 5.

This is could be an issue with Magisk, or Orangefox which is not officially supported and no longer community maintained for the OP5, but I thought I would let you know anyways.

Recently an app I want to use refused to work as it was detecting that my device had been modified, even though Google Play Protect reported that my device was certified and Magisk safetynet check was reporting success. Also when booting into orangefox recovery the display time would change and full backups in orangefox were labelled with a date in the 1970's. I did use adb to try to update the time, but it wouldn't stick after reboot.

I then did some more poking around and when mounting SYSTEM in orangefox recovery, I get an

"error reading file "/system/etc/ld.config.txt": Too many symbolic links encountered".

I have searched on this error and other people have reported it, but there isn't much in the way of easy fixes, or explanations as to exactly why its happening.

When I look at the /system/etc link - its broken. I also note that ld.config.txt is located in

I do have strange occasional freezes, but nothing unexpected for a phone that is out of support - they don't cause reboots or shutdowns, just annoyance. Most recently I was using Kang and before that EvolutionX, both of which were abandoned for the Oneplus 5 when there were too many issues with errors in the Android 11 customised roms.

This is most likley an issue with Orangefox (also not officially supported and no longer maintained for the OP5), but I thought I would let you know anyways.

Recently an app I want to use refused to work as it was detecting that my device had been modified, even though Google Play Protect reported that my device was certified and Magisk safetynet check was reporting success.

When I look at the /system/etc link - its broken. I also note that ld.config.txt is located in /sbin, not /etc.

I have tried re-flashing using twrp-3.5.2_9-0-cheeseburger_dumpling recovery and its OK, but there are the decrypting issues with support for Android 11.

I gathered some further info from this online exchange:

Discussion between Mr.P and alecxs - 2020-06-29

, but they were discussing fixing a bricked Huawei P10, while my phone still boots fine. Using some of the suggestions, while in both recoveries, I got the following information - I hope its helpful?

ADB shell ls -ld $(find /dev/block -name by-name)/* gave the following outputs in the attached tree-orangefox.txt and tree-twrp.txt.

ADB shell mount gave the following outputs in the attached mounts-orangefox.txt and mounts-twrp.txt.

Logcat doesn't give me much more than the errors above.

If there is anything else you would like me to run/try, I am happy to give it a go. Otherwise, keep up the good work - as I am not looking forward to another OP5 Rom being abandoned.

I'm using:

ROM: Arrow-v11.0-cheeseburger-OFFICIAL-20210412-GAPPS.

Recovery: OrangeFox-cheeseburger-stable@R11.0

Magisk: Magisk-fb8000b5(22104) (pre canary versions were not passing safeynet checks).
