Hi, I was on Android 12 using OOS. After unlocking bootloader I flashed AEX recovery using command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and tried rebooting to recovery from the bootloader menu. I have fixed my device using MSM but really want to use this rom. Also, one thing do I need to enable usb debugging? As it was not enabled at the time I was flashing the recovery image.
[OnePlus 9R] GraveDigger176:
When you read the instructions carefully then you see that you have to be on latest oos 11 and not oos 12 👍🏿 go back with MSN Tool on oos 11 and update to the latest oos 11 then unlock bootloader and flash recovery from aex and Rom again and it will work 👍🏿👍🏿
[OnePlus 9R] sub_93:
Ohhh ****! I get that thank you, I will try it.
[OnePlus 9R] GraveDigger176:
You're welcome 👍🏿 yes USB debugging must be enabled 👍🏿

Guys, I saw someone posted the source forge link of A12.1 ROM v9.1. but headline still says 9.0... is it because 9.1 is under testing still??
[OnePlus 9R] Wishmasterflo:
Yes the thread title and link has not been updated yet.

The 9.1 is official here.

It is just that from that Version there is only a GApps and no Vanilla Version existing (yet).

Changelog
[OnePlus 9R] RANJITH THRISSUR:
Thanks bro.. so I'm updating to latest
[OnePlus 9R] Durger:
Heya. Got an official 12 update to my 8T couple of days ago, and kind of hate the overly rounded corner style for widgets. Also it doesn't have an option to customize Monet colors so right now that's a bit of a mess too.

And it feels laggy. So all in all great update from Oneplus.

So I'm looking at custom roms again and got a few questions AospExtended.

Firstly, I have no interest in rooting the device. So should I relock the bootloader after clean flash? I'm not sure what leaving it unlocked actually means. Do banking apps generally work with here?

How about the widget corners, same rounded as official? Customizable?

Additionally last time I used custom roms I had to occasionally update the kernel stuff separately, is that how it works here as well?

Thanks in advance! :)
[OnePlus 9R] Wishmasterflo:
Hi!

No you can not relock the Bootloader, that will not work, so you need to have the Bootloader unlocked.

I think you will need to install Magisk, in order to hide apps, like Banking apps etc.

I guess if you just try to use Banking apps with unlocked Bootloader it will not work.

I am using Nova Launcher as launcher as there are a lot of things which can be customized.

I have never used OOS12 so I dont know how these rounded corners looks like.

Also, the dev of this ROM had just mentioned some days ago that he does not have time anymore to Maintain this AEX ROM, so I guess you should better try some of the other great custom ROMs.

I just switched yesterday from this ROM to Project Zephyrus ROM.
[OnePlus 9R] RANJITH THRISSUR:
I'm looking for a ROM with no bugs finger print working and excellent battery backup.. especially idle drain.. can someone recommend one??
[OnePlus 9R] Wishmasterflo:
Hi!

Then I would try Nameless or Project Zephyrus.
[OnePlus 9R] Samael690:
Any recovery recommendations? Last time I tried to flash this ROM, I downloaded an AEX recovery from sourceforge and it didn't work out so well
[OnePlus 9R] Wishmasterflo:
When I flashed this I first had used the AEX recovery without issues, but even using my OrangeFox I could successfully sideload this ROM.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
I can say nothing about Migrator, but you can backup/restore at least /data with TWRP.

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-11...ect-8t-kebab-2021-09-04.4302449/post-85292199

As far as i know full stock OOS ROM backup (and especially restore) is problematic on 8T due to virtual a/b partitions.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
It's not "problematic" if you do what I mentioned in https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-11...ect-8t-kebab-2021-09-04.4302449/post-85465241

In the "new" virtual a/b world of the 8T the equivalent of the "old" boot+system backup is now boot+dtbo+super.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkao2025:
Hi if someone can help me it would be much appreciated. I just bought a Touch Pro and everything is working fine....except for one really annoying issue.

Whenever I connect my bluetooth to a headset, it shows connected but no sound is coming out. The sound is muted. when connected to my Audi, I see that the phone has bars (shows connected and I can dial the phone), but when I make a call no sound. Similarly on my SE HBH-DS970 headset. The A2DP works perfectly, but when I make a call nothing.....I've searched google and through XDA and no solution.

Can someone suggest a solution? I've soft/hard reset the device already. If I should change Radio ROM which one would someone suggest that's stable? Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkao2025:
If no one else has this problem, can anyone at least suggest to me if this sounds like a Hardware or software issue? If hardware I will return it, but if software I will try to find a solution. Like I said the phone connects to BT, but I just can't get handsfree to work. File transfers and A2DP work. Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkao2025:
Just flashed to UK ROM and still no help....I've read some people having the same problems over at the Diamond thread...I'm the only one answering my own thread here hahaha....if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] meikel_g:
Hi,

I occasionally had such an issue with my Parrot CK3100, but I did not get the time yet to investigate further. After the call was connected I did not hear anything, and I am not sure whether the other party could hear me.

On another day, the handsfree was working perfectly OK.

Cheers

Michael
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkao2025:
Thanks for replying Michael....I'm at a loss and I tried all the suggestions posted. I hope it's a software issue...I'm going to buy a bluetooth headset tomorrow and see if that works. It's not the end of the world, but annoying since all my ppc, s60, BB, and UIQ phones prior to the TP have not had any such issues.

Do you think it's a software issue?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Brendo:
have you tried playing music?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkao2025:
Yes.....A2DP works perfectly....no problems whatsoever with file transfers either....I'm guessing either it's a software problem or the phone has a new bluetooth software that's not agreeing with my older SE headset, but the car is another issue. The Car is 2007 and I'm sure the Bluetooth software is not that old. I've tried Euro WWE and Asian WWE ROM and no go.....I'm going to try the Cingular ROM and see what happens.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tkao2025:
Just another quick update....I tried 2 other different bluetooth headsets and still the same problem... for some reason the sound for handsfree will not come through...anyone know of registry hack possibly that will allow sound to come through?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cmloo:
May not be entirely related to your problem...

Mine is worst...whenever I have paired my Jabra or iTech BT headset, when the phone rings, 8/10 times the phone will auto pickup (and no I did not setup the phone to auto pickup) and the it will NOT connect to the bluetooth. Instead it will be just like an auto pickup and the sound will come thru the phone headset. This is driving me nuts!!!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] biqe:
Hello there

I think i did somethinh wrong while trying to install twrp. Now when it boots it stays stuck on twrp screen, i cant switch it off. If i try, it will boot again on twrp screen. But i can boot it on fastboot mode.

I tryed with adb commnds to reinstall twrp but it does not recocnize dhe device when the phone is in fastboot mode.

If i boot the phone on the stuck twrp screen it is recognized by adb but it does not executes any command.

Eventually i thought trying to clean flash the stock rom will fix everything and i can try again with a fresh start. But the mi flash gives error,; flashing is not allowed for critical partitions.

The bootloader is unlocked.

View attachment 5440433
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Andrologic:
Try flashing your original boot.img (that worked with your current ROM version) back to the device from Fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] biqe:
Thnx for the suggestion. But as i said the phone does not respont to adb commands.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Andrologic:
Not adb. You need to be in bootloader mode with Fastboot access to be able to flash boot back. Power up the device in bootloader mode with the vol+power buttons and confirm that your device has Fastboot access (e.g 'fastboot devices' returns your device id). Flash your boot from there. If Fastboot access is impossible, it's a bigger issue but try that first...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] biqe:
When i try vol+power it boots on twrp and stays like thatView attachment 5440583
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] biqe:
Update. It loks like using adb was the problem. But using the platform tools i could execute comands and i fixed the issue. The phone is clean and i could flash the stock rom with mi flash.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] barrosa:
Hello, i have the same problem. Did you use only mi flash to resolve the issue?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Mi A2 does not have /recovery partition, a recovery is a part of the /boot image, and thus TWRP is not to be "flashed" into /boot (or absent /recovery), but can be "patched" into /boot installing appropriate .ZIP file in a temporarily booted TWRP (tip: search Guides).

This "revelation" could be found in many threads / guides in this forum - search could help you.

As well as "revelations" answering your question:

AndroidOne devices do not need any MiFlash (except for testpoint unbricking, tip: search Guides), if bootloader and critical partitions are unlocked, just normal fastboot.exe from latest Android platform-tools (tip: search in Guides).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zymphad:
Hello,

Anyone find any testing comparing Tensors inferior last year's modem to current competition?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] btonetbone:
I've never fully understood the benefits of 5g for cell phones. If I can get 200 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up on 4g, what are the benefits of 5g? And, regarding a year-old vs current-year modem, why would that matter?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zymphad:
1st gen vs 2nd gen modem from Qualcomm is about twice the difference from certain reviewers.

Qualcomm modem better than Samsung which is why Exynos this year uses Qualcomm modem. But Google chose the Samsung modem from last year instead. Just because it is not Qualcomm probably.

So makes a huge difference.

To you may not matter. To me if I am paying 900$ for a year old tech that is singificantly inferior, and considering this is a phone and the modem is terrible compared to competition, matters to me. Just another way Google continues to give the finger to Pixel users every year they find a way to do that. If this is the case.

I just like knowing when Google will start to treat Pixel users same level of respect as Samsung with their fans.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] scottb908:
dont forget it also doesnt have the samsung price
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zymphad:
Does that matter and why? $900 for tech already outdated by a year... I can understand if budget phone. $900 is not a budget device.

Sounds like they skipped out on others like inferior panel as well. So it definitely seems Pixel once again is a gimmick phone. And their fans will defend it because of it's gimmicks without acknowledging once again its a phone with pricetags not backed by haddwarw but camera software gimmicks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DR4LUC0N:
I have never had a pixel device, but I can still say it's an amazing deal. You're someone who expects an exact $1200 Samsung clone for $900. You're either a troll or shallow, no body likes either of those things.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ggreenwood334:
Agree for the most part. We can't forget these are cell phones. And I for one expect the best coverage and speeds here for a 2021 flagship. After using a phone for a certain amount of time, they are still just a dang phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
Things like 5G modems are very much at the centre of the chip shortage which could have had an impact on what Google could guarantee through the supply chain and hence they had to go with that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cwalker0906:
Just curious, how is it last year's modem if it has wifi 6e
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] btonetbone:
Ok, but that still doesn't explain what would make a newer modem better...? Given how fast 4g is, what tangible benefit (other than saying "I have the newest therefore best") would the newer modem potentially offer?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] scottb908:
In order to get the new technology it would cost more then 900. Sounds like you are trying to compare apples with oranges. If you want the newest tech, then you pay for it. If you think samsung is the greatest, why consider pixel?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] goddammit:
Density. That's your answer. I used to work in one of those financial districts packed with skyscrapers. During working hours, people density in that area is about 200,000 per square kilometer if not more. 4G has full bars and download speed is miserable 2-3 Mbps. That's outside. Literally 200 meters away from that area I'm getting 150 Mbps.

Think about it, that area has all the money in the world and they can't get a decent mobile broadband speed. So they have invented 5G for areas like that, stadiums, etc. Not some rural farms.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
Does anyone know what modem them s21U Exynos uses? Hoping it's not too much of a speed downgrade with the P6P.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Capacity, 5G has so much more capacity per cell site. Ever been in a crowded placed with monstrous 4G signal but absolutely nothing is happening when you want to do something, well 5G all but eliminates that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
I am not at all technical when it comes to 5G, chips, modems, etc. I recently read a piece in some tech journal that spoke about 5G connectivity and speed differences in the Pixel Pro as between carrier versions (ATT and Verizon) and unlocked. I think it was referring to the modem differences as well. I couldn't make heads or tails of it and couldn't figure out what conclusions the writer was coming to. Are there substantive modem, connectivity etc. issues between the different versions of the Pixel 6 Pro?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Keeping it simple, there are two kinds of 5G. Let's call them regular and mm-wave. mm-wave is only good for folks who happen to be in the right place, within a very short distance to a mm-wave cell tower. Since there are so few places in the United States that have mm-wave, chances are that you won't miss anything no matter what.

All the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have regular 5G. There are some advantages of regular 5G over 4G, however, you likely won't experience as much difference as there was between 4G and 3G. I haven't been concerned with 5G at all yet.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
Thanks for your explanation. That article I read made the point that some versions of the Pixel have mm-wave and some don't. I couldn't tell which did, and if it was important to have it. From your comment I'm not going to be concerned about getting a version that has it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] krips2003:
Here's the link that list the carrier compatibility with 5G.

FYI.. Pixel 6 Pro have both sub-6 and mmWave. Pixel 6 lacks mmWave. But it's available on Verizon model of Pixel 6. But you end up paying extra $100.

Understand 5G compatibility & roaming on Pixel phones - Pixel Phone Help

5G mobile networks let you use more bandwidth than 4G. With more bandwidth, you can get faster speeds. To confirm that you have a phone and carrier that supports 5G, you’ll need to buy a data plan an

support.google.com

Another thing that I found out from the table is that, most of the countries on that list uses only Sub-6 standard of 5G except for USA and Australia.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Clockedx:
I'm currently using my P6P on Google Fi (which is essentially T-Mobile) and my P6 on Verizon

It's interesting that on P6P (Google Fi 5G) my current speeds are 490/9ish and my P6 on Verizon is only pulling 31ish/2.5ish. I'm truly interested now if it's in regards to the phone model or my service providers. I'm going to run a few test and play around with this!

If anyone wants to see the speed results I can upload those as well! But overall data speeds and consistency has been amazing on the P6P/P6
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
They could have left mmWave off and dropped the price another £50 as far as i am concerned. I see over 500Mbit regularly on my Sub-6 only Pixel 5.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Clockedx:
Yeah... It is a little wonky when it comes to charging someone an extra $100 for a "5G experience". Essentially here in the US it's Verizon that's charging that extra $100 as opposed to TMobile and At&t - as far as I know anyways 😂
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Clockedx:
Just for reference, don't want anyone thinking I'm making it up haha. I will say I've been using both devices heavily for about 2 1/2+ weeks and Verizon's 5G has been extremely spotty at times! So I'll update when I can get to a better coverage area.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
Thanks for the info. As far as I can tell there's no advantage to me to buy a P6P from ATT rather than an unlocked version.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
So far my P6P is much slower than my Pixel 5, My Pixel 5 regularly broke 500Mbit, i have yet to see my P6P surpass 100Mbit.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Just out of curiosities sake, are there only Unlimited mobile GB contracts in the USA? Here in Central Europe, carriers only give you a couple GB and the unlimited contracts costs a heckload of money (60+ € for the contract alone), so if I only have about 20-100 GB, I don't see the use of 5G, since my limit would max out after 10 seconds, lol.

That has always bothered me with 5G, carriers here are like "ah yes MUCHOS fast Gigabytes! 5 PER SECONDUS! (whilst the average contract has about 5 or 10 GB max, so people would lose access to the Internet after about, well, 10 seconds). I call that bull****, other call it marketing.

So as long as not EVERY 5G contract automatically offers unlimited GB, I don't really see the use of 5G, since 4G is plenty to give you even a 4K HDR stream without problem. And there is nothing bigger MB wise of use (at least not that I can see).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] erktheerk:
Hey. Did you know that text messages used to cost 15₵ each back when I had my second cell phone and came with a plan that gave me 100 free messages to any pager also on the network?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
He, there are still contracts in Central Europe that demand a certain amount of Cents for each SMS. Aldi for example wants 3 Cent per minute/SMS for their most basic contract and all prepaid cards.

At this point, it's a joke.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jmartin72:
This is much to do about nothing. While 5G is being built out, it's still only available in a small percentage of places. 4G is still going to be around for several years. In real world usage you will never see a difference in modems. This is just like people arguing over benchmark tests. While it's easy to see that one device has higher scores on a bar graph, that doesn't translate to real world use.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
Hmmmm, I live just outside a city in the UK and can pretty much get 5g everywhere I go although the phone heats up so badly when on it , it's not worth connecting to it!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stompysan:
The radios in this phone, along with some quirks with the radio they are using, are the reasons I had to return mine. At my work, I have a very poor 5G signal, but excellent LTE. However, the LTE signal has pretty poor performance, at around 1mbps. Enough for a phone call, but not much else. On my OP8, I was able to utilize NSA 5G consistently, which helped a ton. It allowed me to get a 5G signal when I could, and have a seamless handoff to LTE when I can't. I can even go so far as to force NSA 5G over SA 5G. With the Pixel 6, they are clearly prioritizing SA 5G over NSA 5G or LTE. This is causing my network to drop very frequently, or in most cases, showing a signal but having no internet connectivity. Given they are using Tensor, there is no way to lock bands or force NSA 5G. This makes the phone unusable for me for a solid 8 hours of the day, since T-Mobile's WiFi Calling is still garbage. Pivoted back to my OP8 and will use it until either the tools are available to do this myself or Google addresses the issue. Disappointing, because I love the phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] combat goofwing:
I don't have 5G where I am ,but was on the edge of a 5G area today ,so did a speed test to check it out
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
I've done a comprehensive deep-dive into the modem's capabilities. That's not saying much with the available diag tools and data to look at are practically non-existent. The logs I can pull are useless since I don't have those tools. We've only been able to pull out the carrier aggregation combos and bands that are actively offered by a tower. There's nothing allowing us to make a full device report yet. Cellmapper is usable for SA but anchor bands don't always show up for NSA. One thing it does right is band indicators for NSA.

It's not as fast as a Snapdragon X60 or Release 16 like Mediatek. 5G aggregation, TDD-FDD aggregation, and VoNR should all be possible based on its S20/21 siblings' spec sheets, modem dumps, and slideshows but are mostly unproven. What makes the Exynos 5123b better than an Exynos 5123a? We have no clue.

What does this mean for the Pixel 7? The Exynos 2200 modem is still an unknown but Google should adopt the Snapdragon X65 instead.

This is literally all we know without getting into the weeds.

I'm still trying to figure out diag modes for this phone. I can get the modem and serial devices to show up. Per my conversations with cstark:

Everything seems to be controlled by /vendor/bin/modem_logging_control and /vendor/bin/dmd.

Regular invoke can yield usable logs and we can also get the apps started in SHANNON_DM or SHANNON_APP mode after START, but no idea what to do with them.

The Shannon DM version floating around is too old and I haven't gotten a decent scat setup. Airscreen might work but Network Signal Guru doesn't. No tools for this phone are good at the moment.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
I've not had 5G show since I got it but I don't see Volte either but in the call logs HD calls are there and I know Wifi calling works too but doesn't show so guessing 5G is the same
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
It doesn't seem to have been posted in this thread, so here is a summary citing the PCMag test:

"The comparison also cites the scenario of a former Verizon PR manager for whom the switch between LTE, 5G, and 5G UWB on the Pixel 6 on Verizon's network results in a loss of connectivity for up to a minute. On the other hand, the Pixel 6 was better than the Galaxy S21 Ultra in catching on to a connection in rural areas with low-band networks.

The comparison makes it clear that the Pixel 6's Exynos modem is nowhere as good as the Qualcomm modem inside the Galaxy S21 series. This also explains why Samsung and Apple tend to stick to Qualcomm's modem for their flagship devices and why the latter's modem is found inside almost every smartphone sold in the US."

The Galaxy S21 is way better at 5G than the Pixel 6

Well, that's not really surprising
