OK, here is my update... Noting your comment in the other post about the downgraded baseband, I decided to exclude the modem from flashing. Flashed everything else from PQ1A.190105.112-NOVENDOR via fastboot, rebooted, and... Chrome froze again. Ugh... :\ OK. I went back to fastboot and flashed the modem - this time after the reboot the problem was fixed. :)

So, I'd say it's safe to conclude that the modem (baseband) is the actual component that was screwing up the Chromium-based browsers. Go figure...

This ROM is great on the PH-1. At the moment I can't get the LED to blink when notifications arrive. The setting is toggled on.

I've installed magisk, nanodroid and microg (not tried that sort of thing before!). Could that have anything to do with it?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
Even with stock rom LED is not blink if you're using stock messages, try Textra and see if it works for you.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SirDigitalKnight:
Mine out of the blue started locking up again at the 60 second mark and I have not changed a thing on the PH-1
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kt-Froggy:
That's weird... Must be something else then. Some people never had this issue at all, and for the others it's been very consistent. The fact that the problem seemed to be fixed, then reappared for no good reason makes no sense to me...

I am using Edge, not Chrome, but it is working great for me these few days since flashing that novendor image. I guess I'll just keep watching it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
That's weird. This issue is gone for me, since I flashed the Pie firmware. I use Brave Browser.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SirDigitalKnight:
I did get it back working by fastboot and flashed PQ1A.190105.112-NOVENDOR, so I will have to keep an eye on it and see if the issue ever returns.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisrg:
Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: LED blinks on eOS Q and LOS Unofficial 18.1

I am seeing two issues with 4.2. The chrome that is included with the build does work. Playstore says there is an update and when i press the update button the button goes gray for a moment that goes back to saying update. If i remove chrome, now i am not able to install chrome from the play store. Chrome beta DOES work just fine. very interesting.

The last issue i am seeing is that magisk is reporting an abnormal state for SU. I know i have seen this in a mata thread before, but i am not able to find it again or find the solution.

Has anyone experienced either of these tow issues?

Thanks,

JD
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
Check these previous posts about this issue and a possible solution:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kt-Froggy:
1. Make sure you have the Essential driver and adb/fastboot installed.

2. Unzip the contents of the file into a folder.

3. Open a command prompt in that folder.

4. Run flashallnowipe (either .bat on Windows or .sh on Linux) - this will flash the firmware to both A and B slots and reboot the bootloader.

5. Reboot your phone.

Hi, if I have installed the latest LOS 17.1, can I use LOS recovery to install statixos? Also, do I need to have the January build? It would be great if you can list all the prerequisites (like files or certain build) so the installation becomes easier. Thanks
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
I think this thread is just a heads-up about a mayor update of StatiXOS for mata. There's an old thread which seems more like the official one, with installation instructions and other info, but it's discontinued.

Right now, the best source of support and information regarding OFFICIAL and NUCLEAR versions of StatiXOS is the devs Telegram channel: https://t.me/StatiXOS.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 10sfan:
I actually flashed 4.2 (2nd updated version) over a clean fully updated stock software QQ1A.200105.032 and chrome works fine. Trying to install it as described using the novendor file was not booting for me. The only thing preventing daily usage is text messages not sending. I turned Volte off too. I can receive messages though. Resetting network settings works temporarily, but usually for less than a day. I can't keep doing resets. The same thing happened with paranoid android Q5, and on 2 different Essential phones which led me to try Statix.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] s-xeon:
Hello everyone.

I'm flashing version 4.2, but I can't use the Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Are there any conditions to use it?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
Hotspot only works with unencrypted connection (security set to none), AFAIK.

Is it just me or build statix_mata-20210406-1706-11-v4.2-OFFICIAL.zip is not compatible with Magisk 22? It would get stuck on the StatixOS boot logo.

Went back to build statix_mata-20210310-1917-11-v4.2-OFFICIAL.zip and everything worked as expected.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
I installed StatiXOS newest build yesterday and Magisk 22, both using TWRP, and everything went fine.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] thangcuoi:
Thanks for the reply. The culprit was Small Patcher. I had to delete it within TWRP before installing the April StatixOS update.

I wish the Essential Phone has properly maintained TWRP. I have to remember to remove my lockscreen PIN before installing anything in TWRP as TWRP won't accept my PIN. Now I have to remember to remove Smali Patcher as well. It's becoming a bit of a hassle.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sumitplall:
Do I need to "unlock critical" for flashing this? Not able to flash it via "adb sideload" command. Sorry for noob question.

Edit: I was able to flash the modem without "unlocking critical" via fastboot flash commands (unzipped the contents and looked into the .sh file for individual commands) and that fixed the chrome freezing issue. Not sure what's the side affect of this flashing though...

Fingers crossed
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
I hope it works without side effects.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] beckstr1:
how do I go from Lineage rom to StatiXOS? since los not letting me sideload the rom for signature verification issues
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
Go back to Jan stock and start from there.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] beckstr1:
my problem is I can't boot in to recovery with any boot image except los I can fastboot any boot image but it will not go ito recovery unless its los boot image. Of course when I try to sideload zip with los recovery it gets stock at 47% and phone asks to install permission due to signature issue and it fails when yes selected. I tried multiple boot images but it gets stock at bootloop .what am I doing wrong? I got an issue of call sound on lineage when volte turned on with Tmobile . So am trying to install statix to test or any other stable rom. appreciate any input.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
Did you try to go back to Jan stock and then start from there?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] beckstr1:
I did try to sideload jan stock and same results it doesn't pass signature issue and fail to flash i was successful flashing essential boot image fix but that recovery wont even start sideloading at all. Iam very puzzled what approach to take. I can still sideload lineage rom and it works.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
Back to stock can be done with adb command, after unzip the stock rom, you can run flashall.bat with latest adb installed in your PC.

Once you're in Jan stock, I believe you can flash any ROM you want (LOS with sideload, or StatixOS with TWRP)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
Back to stock from LOS, here's how I do:

1. Enable USB debugging (in Setting-System-Advanced-Developer options)

2. Boot phone to boot loader mode

3. Install adb to pc (if you didn't do so)

4. Download and unzip Essential Jan stock rom to pc

5. From command prompt, in unzip Jan stock folder, run flashall.bat

6. Let the process goes, and you should be back to stock.

7. From here you can do whatever you like (latest LOS with sideload method, or StatixOS after install TWRP)

Using latest StatixOS and Magisk (both via TWRP) with QQ1A.200105.088 vendor, moved from Paranoid Q5.

The only problem is My WhatsApp call volume is too loud even at the lowest volume setting. Is there any possibility to set the volume basis level lower somehow?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] thangcuoi:
Anyone able to flash statix_mata-20210609-0015-11-v4.2-OFFICIAL.zip successfully? I did my usual flash rom + twrp > reboot to recovery > flash magisk 23 > reboot and it would just hang at the Static logo screen. Reflashing the May build got me back in.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
Yesterday I dirty installed newest build for mata from recovery (after removing security to be able to use TWRP) and also installed latest Magisk without any issues. As it seems to be relevant, it's worth to mention my device is using this firmware: PQ1A.190105.112.

I would suggest to check MD5 o SHA1 signatures, which are available here, just to make sure it wasn't a corrupted file download.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] thangcuoi:
Thank you for your reply. I checked the MD5 and SHA1 and the file was not corrupted.

I cannot be sure which firmware I started with. I think it was the one before the final official release as recommended by most when flashing custom ROMs. I will just wait for the next release before trying again.

Edit: Left the house and found that mobile data was not working (Telstra, Australia). Tried switching to WCDM/GSM as well as reboot but was not able to get data working again. Will probably have to do a full wipe when I get home.

Edit 2 : It was Smalli Patcher that caused the stuck at StatixOS logo boot. Deleting it from within TWRP allow normal booting again.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SirDigitalKnight:
Anyone else seeing your PH-1 running hot and battery life shorter on the latest OTA update?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
My PH-1 has a quite normal behaviour with the latest ROM update. I'll watch it closely, anyway.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SirDigitalKnight:
Thanks. Yeah not sure what is going on with mine. Hope it's not the battery starting to go. I have a A52 on its way in a few days so after I get it all setup and running I might have to nuke and pave the PH-1 and see if I can get it to behave again.

Thanks in advance.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
You don't need TWRP to install different Essential PH-1 firmwares because most of them can be found as fastboot flashable files. I recommend you take a look a this old thread about firmwares and try out this firmware, which is the most recent I found that fix the Chrome/Chromium freeze issue for my device.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dankovac1999:
Thank you so much!

I have chrome opened for like 5 minutes so I'm not afraid to say it's working! It took me a while as long as mine fastboot drivers are broken and I had to flash manually from OnePlus in terminal emulator 😂 but the time payed off nicely!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
Great news!!! Also, it's good to know LOS 18.1 can be used with mata and PQ1A.190105.112 firmware.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kt-Froggy:
Looks like they keep messing up the updates... 😕 Just tried the July 14 OTA. The camera crash persisits from the June update. Another problem is that the screen position (or the resolution, not sure) is now set up wrong, cutting off a vertical strip on the right. Screenshot doesn't show this problem, and turns out perfect. But here is a photo of the screen after the update - note the status bar, dock and app icons being cut off on the right. Reboot doesn't help, and I didn't want to do a factory reset, as this phone is my daily driver. So, I am back to May update, the "last known good" setup.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
This issue was reported at the Telegram group for Statix OS support, but so far the only response from a dev was do not install Magisk.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hedgecore44:
I couldn't get notification LED to work on the Static June official. Same with PA5 beta. Works fine on Havoc 4.6. weirrrrrd. Does anyone know if this was fixed on Statix July official update?

Which issue - the camera or the display? Well, anyway... Great advice, LOL. For those who don't need root, sure. BTW, last time I checked, they closed the TG group (I can't access it anymore). Only the announcements are open to the public now.

Can anyone please recommend the most stable build version they are using? I see there are some bugs on the newer builds
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
I tried latest StatiX OS build (2021-07-14) and I was forced to go back to the 2021-06-09 build, because of the issue with the alignment of the screen caused by Magisk. IMHO, that build from June is a good daily driver.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surya17:
Thanks for the reply! I'm currently on the 03-10 build as I saw someone saying it was good in earlier messages, and so far it seems very stable. So I'll wait to update when they fix the problems with the July update.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surya17:
Does anyone else have a problem with super low volume on calls with the earpiece speaker? The loudspeaker seems fine, but the earpiece volume is too low, I also noticed that increasing or decreasing volume doesn't change the volume much, it sounds quite low and almost the same, both at lowest and highest. I'm on the 03/10 build. Looking at the changelog it seems on 03/02 earpiece volume being stuck on max was fixed, maybe this caused the issue?

I'm using 03/10 as I saw someone saying it was really stable, but the low in-call volume is annoying, could anyone recommend another build in which this issue is fixed?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kt-Froggy:
Frankly, I haven't noticed an issue with the call volume. It's not very loud, and you are right, the adjustment range is very small, but it's loud enough for me to never see it as an issue.

I am currently running the May 2021 build, and it's very stable for me. It's the last one with the working Essential Camera app - the camera craps out on June and July bulds.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalsimon:
I've tried the latest build (August security patch) and there is a issue with the SIM keyboard for input the pin code, the keyboard doesn't appear at all.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SL0876:
And on the latest build the camera still doesn't work.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
I'm sorry to know that issue is still present.

In case you root your PH-1 with Magisk, is the screen misalignment bug showing at this August build?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalsimon:
Have you tried a clean install? For me worked with july build.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] SL0876:
I‘ve tried a clean install on the july built - didn‘t work.

I didn‘ use Magisk - no problem eirh disalignment.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kt-Froggy:
Yes, both the screen misalignment and the camera crash are there. Back to May again...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surya17:
Any way to have Magisk without screen shift on the August build?

Also, the mic doesn't work at all on the loudspeaker, it's completely silent also using google recorder. Is it a bug on ROM, or is my mic dead?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] makjim:
Any update for the ROM?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
There's one report at the StatixOS Telegram chat of a user who installed the August build and changed the boot image of this build with the one from a previous build not affected with the screen shift. Apparently, this worked.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aamadorj:
According to the StatiXOS Telegram chat, the builds based on Android 11 are EOL and the devs are focused on getting ready StatiXOS based on Android 12.

managed to sort this. youtube vanced v13.50 is working fine.

i thought this tablet was running kitkat 4.4.2 but turns out its jelly bean 4.2.2. thats why iv been getting the wrong apps that dont install on it.

vanced 13.50 runs considerably better than newpipe which doesnt even load up some episodes.

now if only livenettv would work then i wouldnt need to mess about this tablet anymore.

That didnt last long. Got issue with youtube vanced now. Error 400. Looks like im gonna have to get a newer android build on this tablet.

this is now sorted again lol.

iv flashed twrp then flashed the omni 6.01 rom. no gapps installed and its doing both youtube vanced and livenettv perfect. far faster than before too.

looks like iv got life back in this tablet.

incase anyone wants to know. its a very simple process.

used latest odin and flashed twrp 2.8.5 then had a sd card with the omni6.0.1 rom and twrp3.1.1.0.

once odin flashes trwp 2.8.5, booted to twrp recovery and updated it to the 3.1.1.0 version using img file.

rebooted back to recovery, flashed the omni rom. rebooted again and it went straight into android.

setup wifi and installed youtube vanced and livenettv from sd card apk files and job done.
