HELP!

I'm pulling my hair right now...

My PH-1 has been having random hangs and reboots, nothing too significant and happens about twice daily. I chucked it to having a custom rom and looked past it.

Last week it had a reboot and my lock pin stopped working. I had to reboot into LineageOS recovery and factory reset. It just rebooted again (today) and pin refuses to unlock, again!

I have a lot of sensitive data I cannot afford to lose right now. I know it's possible to delete encryption pin from TWRP but I don't have that installed anymore, searched but can't find any steps to reinstall.

Will appreciate any help offered.

@Tomoms
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Sorry for not replying earlier. I totally missed the notification. This is extremely strange and I have no idea what could be done to fix this. Deleting the lockscreen PIN is done by removing some file in /data, but it would not solve the problem on modern devices, because all contents of /data are still encrypted, and they get decrypted only upon insertion of the correct PIN!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surya17:
I also have these random hangs, and reboots, does anyone else have this? Could this be because of magisk ( I have 25.0)?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
No, Magisk v25.0 works perfectly, and v25.1 should be fine too. Send me logs, please. /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops after a reboot should provide valuable insight.

@Tomoms

How about an updated TWRP? There is a working one available for my other device, and it has working data decryption under A11-12.1. Any chance you can work with that?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] k24a1:
i'd love to tinker with my essential phone again, but i do need to replace the screen and i need to figure out how i can set up the stupid bootslot thing that keeps reverting every time i install gapps... ech. this rom does seem very promising already
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Yes, that's been on my to-do list for a while. I know /data decryption has been fixed on A12 now (at least in some cases, need to figure out if mata's type of encryption is the one that's supported or not - I really hope it is), I promise I'll try to dedicate more time to it...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
What? Slotted devices can be confusing at first, but they are really simple once you keep in mind these simple facts.

In any given moment, only one slot is the active one. The other is the inactive one.

Simple recoveries (such as Lineage recovery - do not use TWRP, it's old and broken, so let's not talk about it here) flash all zips onto the active slot, except for ROM builds. Thus...

...When you flash a ROM via its recovery (e.g. my builds via Lineage Recovery), it is installed in the inactive slot.

The active slot has not changed yet. When flashing normal zips, the recovery will continue to operate on the same active slot. In order to change active slot after a ROM flash, you need to reboot to recovery (only then is the active slot switched).

So, if you need to flash add-ons on top of the ROM, you first flash the ROM, then from the recovery you tap on Reboot to recovery (sounds dumb but it is needed, because it makes the recovery operate on the slot that contains the freshly-installed ROM), and then you flash Gapps, Magisk, etc.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surya17:
So it happened again, but this time the phone went on a reboot loop. It loads the lock screen and keeps rebooting. After a few tries, I somehow managed to reboot to safe mode before it restarted again, but get this, my pin was not accepted, it kept saying the wrong pin haha. So I now wiped my phone again, will try a different ROM now. This was working perfectly for me until this happened, so strange, I hope it's isolated to my device for some weird reason, and I can't provide logs anyway as you can see!

Edit: I actually see that @jabia had the same problem, so maybe it's not isolated, I hope you can fix it :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jabia:
Really not sure waht wen wrong as this ROM is as stable as gets...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
I'm not a wizard. Without logs I cannot understand what goes wrong, let alone fix this issue.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Hello, a new build with lots of updates and optimizations is available. It includes code updates, tweaks and optimizations applied to the most critical system components (ART, libcore, internal frameworks, memory management routines); July's security patches; my kernel is now finally built-in, as in 18.1. Available via OTA right now :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] temporarium:
OK, finally had a chance to give this a bit more time. Tested GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile. All working fine. ROM is stable and smooth. Keep up the fine work, bro! 😁👍🏻
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Angrydr0id:
This is my first ROM with microg and it is superb, everything works as it should if you take the time to set it up.

Thank you very much for keeping this old device alive.

Cheers.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Hello, I've just realized July's build was never made available via OTA, sorry!

Anyway, I've released a new build with lots of interesting stuff (mainly optimizations for bionic's routines). And it's of course available via OTA. Enjoy!

EDIT: and very importantly, today's build contains a workaround for the long-standing issue of bad audio quality in video recordings :) I'm working to refine the workaround and turn it into a proper fix that can be pushed to official LineageOS as well.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Hi, I've released a new build. It is built using -O3 optimizations, for maximum performance of native system components, and it brings integrated support for Cloudflare and AdGuard as private DNS providers. AdGuard - I believe - is a great option because it has the double benefit of hiding your DNS requests from Google and blocking a lot of tracking/advertising/malicious domains. On the other hand, I know many turn up their nose at Cloudflare's privacy policies, but the patches to include AdGuard relied on previous patches that included Cloudflare, so I had to implement both providers. I recommend using AdGuard and just ignoring the presence Cloudflare.

The new build also features September's security patches.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surya17:
@jabia did you try any of the recent builds? I am hoping that the random reboot/pin corruption issue is fixed!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] temporarium:
Your ROM is working perfectly - at least with my googless setup. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
A new build is available, with some interesting updates and features. Enjoy!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swissueli:
First of all thanks a lot for keeping our phones up-to-date! Why is the October build not available through the updater?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
It should be available! Try to clear the cache of the Updater (Settings > Apps > Show all apps > 3 dots > Show system apps, then search for the Updater), reboot and re-check.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swissueli:
cleared the cache and memory of updater (including reboot) .. unfortunately no success .. any other ideas? get message "no new updates found"
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
I'll check tomorrow and get back to you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Just some preliminary checks: which build are you running right now? I need the full string shown in Settings > Phone info > LineageOS version.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swissueli:
19-20220908-UNOFFICIAL-mata
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
You are not using my unofficial builds, you are using Nolen Johnson's builds! My unofficial builds' version string always end with "-UNOFFICIAL-Tom-mata". That's why the system does not show an update :)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swissueli:
ups - I am sorry :) can I flash your image with fastboot/adb etc. over the existing image or will I lose all apps etc. - meaning do I need to do a clean install if I would like to switch to your image?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surya17:
I got back to this ROM with the latest update and am very happy with it. Thanks @Tomoms!!

I just would like your (or anyone that can help) input on a couple of things:

The contactless payments are not working with my banking app (ING Netherlands). It worked without issue on the pixel experience Rom. Any idea to make it work?

Is it possible to change the colour scheme (in addition to adapting to the wallpaper) like on the pixel experience ROM?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Yes, it looks like it is possible to dirty-flash my builds on top of Nolen's, but don't forget to install MindTheGapps before booting! What you should do is: reboot to recovery (you will enter Nolen's recovery) -> flash my ROM (ignoring any warning about signature verification failing) -> from the recovery, reboot to recovery (important - needed to switch slots) -> flash MindTheGapps + any other zip you need such as Magisk.

@MuddyDog has attempted to do this and here are the comments he gave me on the final result: "Nolen's build includes a different Gapps than the MindTheGapps i use with your build. As a result, the set of Gapps apps is different... Nolen's includes google's file app MtheGapps does not... so it disappears. the com.android.documentsui is there instead. So, it doesn't break the world, but there are variances, dropped google stock apps, and apps that I had disabled in Nolen's build were no longer disabled... and whereas they could only be disabled in Nolen's Gapps, they could be uninstalled under MtheGapps"

1. Probably a matter of SafetyNet. Surely, it can be fixed. I assume you use MindTheGapps. Have you got Magisk installed? Did you have it on PixelExperience? Can you use any SafetyNet verifying app and tell me if you pass or fail the tests?

2. I don't think so, I had tried adding some theming features in one of my previous builds but it messed up everything unless a clean flash was performed - definitely not doable. It'll be something I'll include right from the start in my LineageOS 20 builds in the future.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swissueli:
dirty-flash worked nicely with your step-by-step instruction - thanks a lot :cool:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surya17:
Yes, using MindTheGapps and Magisk 25 installed, had the same on pixel experience. So the safetynet test failed on LOS, and I haven't done it on pixel experience when I used it. What can I try?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Have you enabled MagiskHide in Magisk's settings? You don't need to actually hide Magisk from any app, but you need to switch on the global toggle. Then try SafetyNet again. If it still fails, let me know: the ball is in my court then, I have to inspect PixelExperience's code and pick the necessary patches.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surya17:
Okay, I actually forgot to do this before, as I did on pixel experience. But I tried now, and SafetyNet still fails. I also added some apps on Zygisk denylist, otherwise, I cannot use some banking apps like Revolut, but again it's the same as I did on pixel experience.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
Ok. I'll look into this and keep you updated.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tomoms:
@surya17

Today's build allows you guys to pass SafetyNet. Refer to the second post for information on how to set up everything properly.

Other than that, the new build contains a couple of kernel fixes and PixelPropUtils, a module that unlocks some Pixel-specific features in certain Google apps (and also helps to pass SafetyNet). Don't ask me which specific features it unlocks, because I have no idea about that. The presence of PixelPropUtils is 100% harmless for those who wish to stay degoogled or use MicroG.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] surya17:
Thanks, bro, will try and let you know! But FYI, I actually tried contactless payments after uninstalling magisk (and removing root), and it still didn't work. So I think it's probably not related to Safetynet.

Hi to all! I've just bought a silver 256 z fold 3 and hoping i would see a improvement when it comes to the only game i play and what a disappointment. Its blurry as it was on the z fold 2 . I tried opening it on the small screen then going on the main one but it will keep the middle aspect ratio also no config file to edit. It looks completely trash ...can somebody tell me if they found a fix ?

hello everyone,

I just bought z fold 3 a few days ago,

after hours of working with I found that sometimes the touch screen(inner display) doesn't respond,

for example, some words don't type when I am typing quickly with the keyboard (just sometimes)

factory data reset didn't help.

has anyone run into the same problem? may be resolved with future updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Is it only happening to apps connected to the internet ie is it a connection issue?

The internet's been goofed up in some areas the last few days. Try toggling the airplane mode off/on.

Keep power management disabled for now.

Does it happen in safe mode?

Find the factory test settings for the touch display, test (and calibrate if needed/possible).

If you can't resolve it, return it. Otherwise eyeball every square inch of it like a hawk...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] saidgta:
I tested the touchscreen with *#0*# and everything is fine.

just sometimes this problem occurs and I think this may be software problems...

have you z fold 3?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
No. Basic troubleshooting.

Samsung will likely release firmware updates to correct this if enough devices are effected. It may be a 3rd party app causing this... try in safe mode. Disable animations for now and see what its got.

I stopped at the N10+/Android 10 and will likely stay in this holding pattern for at least 2 years.

I have two now and they run close to flawlessly.

Both Samsung and Android are having major issues, plus I require a SD card slot. Even issues on the N20U, which helped nix it from my list.

It may be a good year for Fold fans but otherwise both Android and Samsung have dropped the ball and are in a flat spin... in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] saidgta:
my problem is just like what you see in this youtube video in Time 12:15 and 12:49 . I must double try some times to click some things. this is very annoying on the keyboard and when you are typing quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
If stateside you can go to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience store. They can do advanced testing on it... allegedly.

I would get it resolved soon or return it for a complete refund.

What keyboard you are using? Try changing the keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] saidgta:
Default samsung keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
Try SwiftKey. Tons of options, including the look and layout of it, and it syncs between devices and accounts if you want. I've been using it for forever. Works just fine on the inner screen and outer screen, although I wish I could have it not a split keyboard on the outer screen (can't choose a different keyboard for the outer screen), but I rarely use the outer screen, so it isn't a big deal for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] saidgta:
The problem is not keyboard software, please read topic from first.

I tested the screen by "touch screen test" app.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Zerobim08:
I think if you tested with the touch app and it is ok then maybe the keyboard can't keep up with your typing speed. Try something like Gboard.
