[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ayurmouli:
yes

exactly the base of android os is open source but slowly we are reaching for the closed eco system. unfortunately
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
That's right. I'm flashing roms since my galaxy S1. Ive never had a phone without custom rom. But nowadays stock roms starting to be better an better. Even MIUI is a great rom if you debloat it a lot! Today I'm only rooted with a custom kernel. I don't want to miss OEM feature and just want to have a stable rom! And with OxygenOS we have it!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
There are ROMs and there is root, we really don't need twrp.

Root is extremely easy, as is unlocking the bootloader.

Personally I'm not a fan of the dual slot system, I think it just confuses the crap out of people, but what can you do.

I'm coming from a Huawei p20 pro. If you think it's bad here, just check out the "development" over there, and they were thriving not so long ago, now it's just as dead as death over there.

(They actually made a development section for the p40 Pro lol why? )

We'll have development for some time yet and will more than likely be root and development for many years to come.

Plus the developers we have here, a lot of them are self taught so why wait for someone else to do it for you?

Make yourself a ROM..

I've done it before (many moons ago) its a great feeling making a ROM you made yourself that boots, of course if it's a non OOS ROM you'll need twrp but that'll come in due course.

I agree in part that development has declined but we should be grateful for what we do have, which is more than a lot of other devices..

I think partly with 1+ it's because the OS is already pretty damn good, plus OnePlus haven't exactly made it impossible for us to mod things..
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ps000000:
I also look at another flagship phone that released this year, almost low to none custom ROMs.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Samuel Holland:
Yes thx, I've been on pixels for the last few years & always on a custom rom. I got kona soon as I could and have been loving it. While I have used magisk modules and custom kernel, this is the first time in a really long time that I've stayed on the stock os. The os has came a long way and am thankful to have kona and wouldn't change it for nothing. I've really enjoyed this device so far. Anyway thanks for sharing and just thought I'd share my thoughts.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Aye I've done the same, even the pixel seems lacking.

Are we looking at it wrong though? I mean back on the HTC devices I've owned sure I did a tonne of flashing but I usually settled on 1 or 2 ROMs and we do have more than that here, so do we have what we need rather than what we want?

Lol I'm sure we'd all prefer the latter, I would too, but it's something to think about, I mean Paranoid Android is here, sure it's had less updates than an rtx 3090 but it's here :D
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] tomtommy306:
To add to what others are saying... Cooking a ROM is a very time consuming project. Not a lot of people want to spend the time on it anymore. When I first got a smart phone, it was an HTC touch diamond. Windows phone OS. Back then, tons of people were learning to create custom ROMs and mods for them. That has slowly dwindled over time. On Android, ROMs were mostly created to get AOSP ported to most devices. Nowadays, all phones have custom hardware that needs a factory ROM to be useful. AOSP is not very desirable as it is the most basic form of Android with only basic functionality for mostly Pixel phones. Most people are now only concerned with using a debloated stock ROM and rooting for modules etc. This is the norm. I don't think it will change. It is what things have evolved into over time.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Also we can install treble ROMs can't we?

I've talked about this before.

There should be dedicated sections for functional treble ROMs where common issues can be laid bare so they can at least be worked on with specific device owners.

Asking a question about your own device in a treble thread seldom gets an answer.

AFAIK we'd need twrp unless Fastboot can be used? Not sure, have only managed to get one treble ROM to boot back on the p20 pro when I had it unlocked.

Most of it worked if memory serves..I'll give them a whirl next time I Bork my system or i get bored and will make a thread detailing which ones work.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ayurmouli:
i will never go for huawei

never allow us to open boot loader. u cant even root. i sold p30 pro after using it for 3 months. i always come back to android because we can root. other wise iphone is better in all the departments and it has value also. but if android is same as ios i.e closed eco system then who needs it. we do flashing etc because its fun. as a doctor this things makes me feel; good because i do something (rooting etc) which is beyond my profession. which is fun and entertaining
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Actually I couldn't disagree more.

Point being the OS even without root is still better, still more open and content is still better.

Think Apple TV Vs Shield TV Pro, I can play Wii, GameCube, Dreamcast, arcade, neogeo, SNES, megadrive, Atari, Amiga, spectrum commodore, Amstrad, pc engine, pc games, Android games, can watch any movie, listen to any music, connect any controller (multiple controllers) wired or wireless, have it as a searchable Nas drive in my network, watch IPTV through it.

Apple TV can be used for apps like Netflix, that is it.

No file manager, no emulators, nothing.

iOS is not better than Android, not even close, maybe the camera and that's due to singular hardware.

Also Huawei/ honor devices DID allow bootloader unlocking, I know this as I unlocked my p20 pro they stopped it in July 2018 and then reopened it briefly in late 2018, nothing since.

Before this time it was always open, they partnered with XDA to promote their devices and then when they gathered ground they pulled the rug out from underneath everyone's feet, Huawei are slime, they deserve to be hit financially.

Anyone who bought a p30 or p40 is either not bothered about rooting or doesn't want the latest and greatest hardware (Mali GPU is horrific, Kirin is a joke)

If anyone does buy Huawei, they're contributing to the problem as they're still giving money to a company who went against everything that Android stands for.

There is literally no point of there being a P40 forum or P30. It's not even Android in my eyes.

The only way that will reverse is if people stop buying from Huawei/honor, if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

Going back to Apple, the only device I like from them is their MacBook Pro simply for it's trackpad as I love the features it offers, but as an OS? No I'm always the phone nor OSX can cut it Vs Windows/Android..

And would you pay £2,500 for the privilege of using their trackpad? No I'd rather buy a top gaming rig.

It'll always be this way, Jesus iOS just got widgets lmfao,, welcome to 2007 Apple, haha.

And you think is better? You must be joking. ;)
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] gogol:
I got my Pixel 5, but I don't have esim yet. And I do not want to use physical sim-card anymore. My old phone is Google Pixel 2XL.

I have been thinking how to transfer my old phone to my Pixel 5.

Here is what I thought

1. Make sure old phone is backup (via system settings, backup)

2. Turn off old phone, and take out nano sim card

3. Insert the nano sim card on the Pixel 5 (for temporary while waiting esim)

4. Turn on Pixel 5 and connect to Wifi

5. Restore from the account I use to backup on my old phone

6. Continue setup

I think that would transfer my old phone to Pixel 5.

Once I received my esim, how do I change my nano sim card to esim?

- Turn off Pixel 5, take out nano sim card

- Turn on Pixel 5, configure esim (settings, mobile network, etc.)

Would that work?

And about Google account backup restore, will that also restore all my phone call history? SMS? MMS?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] LTKred:
you'll have to contact your provider to arrange them to transfer you from physical sim to esim, generally done with a QR code and pin (at least that's how we do it in Australia).

I done mine through Vodafone Account online, I selected replace sim > esim > they sent an sms to confirm it was me > they then sent a pin by sms > then I got an email with QR code.

After that I went into Settings > Network and Internet > hit the + next to Mobile Network and selected Download a SIM > scanned the QR code and entered the pin, then a few seconds later it was setup and working great. Took out my physical sim and binned it as its now useless.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Stretlow:
I did pretty much the same except with a work sim (o2). SAcanned the QR code and notified my work phone people that i wanted it transferring, was on the esim within an hour.

Have my personal number as the physical sim in the phone too. love having not to carry two phones around anymore
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] gogol:
Thanks all! Yes, I called my provider and they sent me the esim package with activation code via post, not yet received. But I want to setup my phone now :)

I have never done this before, coming from Pixel 2XL.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cescman:
Some companies may charge you for an eSIM, this varies among different countries and different companies. The QR code is for one time use, so if you change your phone, or something happens that you are forced to factory reset your phone, you will need to ask them to send you another one. The second eSIM may carry a cost to you even if the first one is free, and then there is the trouble of not having a SIM while you are waiting for the replacement. I would rather use a physical SIM for the primary carrier that I use in my own country, and use the eSIM for traveling.

(There's an option to keep the eSIM when you factory reset, but who knows what may happen)
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
In some advanced countries you will easily get the eSIM for free and you can get the eSIM QR from your home probably in a couple of minutes via email or some portal.

In more precarious or corrupt places you will have (like me in Spain with Movistar carrier) to pay 14.90€ to get a piece of cardboard with the disposable QR code (and you need to go to a store to get it) and spend at least 20 minutes to do the entire process until you finally activated the eSIM in the new Pixel

I just did this today. Second time i did this process.

I do this because I like to have work SIM + personal eSIM in one device.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] sidhaarthm:
I'm still waiting for Three (UK) to fully roll out their eSIM program. At the moment you can only get them from select stores but they're all Northern stores that I can't physically get to.

FYI, your Pixel 5 will only work in 4G mode when using 2 SIM cards.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Tcukcufc:
Is there any advantage to an esim apart from not having to have a physical card in the phone?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Only if you have two providers. Some don't have eSim technology and you are stuck with a physical sim. And if your second provider is the same you are out of luck. Other than that I don't think there is much difference.

the issue with instagram in full screen is that it also crops a lot of content from people who post using the 16:9 and 1:91:1 of the new iphones

this is something instagram needs to address for the android app, i have mine custom set to 16:9 and still some content gets cut off. if i leave it app preference more gets cut off. full screen you have to scroll to see tall content and even then it is still cut off.

I have found that Instagram stories on full screen doesn't seem to work well as they crop out bits of text from the top or bottom of stories. So until I guess Instagram themselves amend (unlikely given their history) 16:9 is the best way to use Instagram for now

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fuzzychicken:
I can clearly see this is not the first thread that the device is not recognized in Fastboot mode. I have tried almost all sensible options I found so far, still no luck.

OP6, updated to the latest build, Oxygen OS 10.3.6, Build number OnePlus A6003_22_201004

I have Pixel XL that works flawlessly (adb as well as fastboot) on the same machine with the same cable and USB port.

- Trying to unlock the bootloader.

- Got the latest Platform Tools, to be sure that I have the latest versions

- Downloaded OnePlus 6 drivers from OnePlus website

- Installed WinUSB drivers using Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/), thinking I am too stupid to be able to install simple drivers

- Disabled Windows 10 driver signature verification, in case thats an issue.

- Installed systemwide ADB and Fastboot using Minimal adb and fastboot.

Screenshots before and after putting the phone in Fastboot mode.

AFTER

The device goes from OnePlus to Android.

Tried updating the driver using the Update Driver option using usb_driver_r13-windows.zip file. It claimed already has updated drivers.

What else is left for me to try? I am considering to factory reset the phone, just in case anything is messed up after the latest update last week.

Thanks a lot for scratching your head for me. Appreciate all help.

Anyone else think the colours are a bit "off"? Everything seems a bit beige.

Anyone else think the colours are a bit "off"?

Everything seems a bit beige on my Pixel 5 compared to my Pixel 3. Whites are not brilliant white.

It's like the night light feature is on constantly at a very low level - anyone else finding this?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Bobleworm:
I thought this too when receiving the phone but not sure it's an issue. I quickly got used to that and I usethe "natural" color profile. I think it was just that my previous phone (huawei) was just a bit too saturated and my eyes quickly got used to it. But yeah white seemed a bit off for me the first time, especially at low brightness level.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] jaythenut:
My colours are well washed out on mine got it on boosted makes no different
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] htc-rocks:
Yeah on my pixel 3 the natural, boosted and adaptive all seemed pretty different - on the pixel 5 I struggle to see the difference. Adaptive looks best though.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Melecatius:
Dude! Thanks!! I really love the P5 but the colours... My whole screen looks dusty and brownish.

The contrast of the P3 is so superior I almost want to change back to the P3 again.

Does anyone have a device with a nice contrasty display?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 739586:
Same with me: I come from a Pixel 2 XL which I configured for saturated mode. Obviously, it had ridiculously exaggerated colors. I too noticed the brownish touch but it look quite pleasing and natural. Although switching color modes does not make much if a difference. But yes, adaptive looks most punchy, therefore I stick with it.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] htc-rocks:
Also, is there are way to turn the night light feature off permanently? I thought there was a was to do this on the pixel 3. On the pixel 5 I only see the option to turn it "off until sunset"

Cheers. Missed that :eek:
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Melecatius:
Options --> Display --> Nightlight --> no schedule.

It's turned off for me.

But to be honest it feels as if it is still on...

I really begin to hate the display, as I thought the times of ****ty yellowish/beigeish displays is over!

And because of the colortone it even seems to be less contrasty that my P3....

I'm gonna try to do some pictures when there's some spare time in my life. :)
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] htc-rocks:
It feels like it's still on a tiny bit doesn't it. Hopefully it was a design decision by Google to make the screen more "natural" and it's not a limitation of the panel. Then they can fix it with an update.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Melecatius:
That's true!

But the question is: is google aware of this??

It seems that just a very few people report this.

And where do I report this directly to google?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] sille:
ah nice to read that. compared to my s20 ultra the screen looks incredibly awful....
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 739586:
I do not know what happened: Yesterday the brownish tint was clearly visible but it seems gone today. Was it a reboot? Was it the downgrade from Play Services Beta to the latest stable? I do not now. Seems to be a software issue because it is (temporarily?) gone. My best guess would be a non-working color management calibration. And if so: Software can be fixed! :)
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Melecatius:
I really wish you're right!

Are you sure you're not just getting used to it?

A reboot hasn't changed anything for me and I also never used the Google service beta (which I'm thinking about joining now :))

Define awful?

What's to say the S20 Ultra isn't the one that's bad? Samsung always oversaturate, even in their natural profile.

oppo verify pass

fastboot_unlock_verify ok

please help its my only phone and i need to recover it
[Oppo Realme 1  Questions & Answers] MpS005:
"oppo verify pass

fastboot_unlock_verify ok"

means that the phone is in fastboot mode

To reboot to recovery, execute:

fastboot oem reboot-recovery

After rebooting to recovery, perform a format data (which will wipe all things). It will remove the password also.

Then reboot to recovery once.

Then reboot to system :D

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Just for information, I wanna tell that the password issue wasn't because of gapps. It's because of encryption. The only way to decrypt is to perform a "Format Data", i.e. wiping everything on the storage, hence removing the password. This pssword is not the same as lockscreen password.
