I was trying to upgrade from Android 11 to 12 with an Android 12 GSI using Fastboot, but whenever I try to install the system.img, it always fails with the error:

I have seen that this error is common if you have the bootloader locked, but mine is unlocked.

You need to be in fastboot d to flash system images. In regular fastboot, type fastboot reboot fastboot.

if you update adb, you will see that it gives you an error for no space (atleast for me it did). To fix this, since your phone uses AB partitioning, you will need to do fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a and it should be good since you are using a GSI

When I try to connect my rooted Pixel 6 to my laptop (Legion Y530 running Windows 11 beta build 22000.348), it does not show up in the file explorer, but I constantly hear the notification of a USB device connecting. On my Pixel 6, USB preferences notification shows up. On my laptop, under Device Manager, no device shows up. Every now and then, it'll show up in the file explorer, but it'll instantly disappear. Other times, there's a pop up saying 'The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected'. I've been using a OnePlus USB-A to C cable and I've tried using the included USB-C to C cable, but neither have worked.

I had the same problem when I first got the phone before I rooted it. It randomly worked once and I was able to successfully root the phone, but the problem still persists since then.

I've looked online and people have suggested installing Google's USB drivers, but I can't install it because the phone does not appear in the device manager.
[Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro / Redmi K40 Pro+] Joztun:
Hi guys I'm new here so this might be a stupid question 😅

I just bought a k40 pro

Model : M2012k11c

Miui global 12.5.2.0(RKKMIXM)

But playstore and antutu says its a Mi11i.

So since I bought it in Africa, I figured they probably flashed a Mi11i global rom into it to make it work with the local operators.

What I know is that : the k40pro/k40pro+/mi11i/mi11xpro share the codename haydn and have very similar specs (minus Ram and 108 mp camera for k40pro+)

even in xiaomi's website you can download the official roms and it's the same file (and it says device name Mi 11i)

Tho everything is working fine, and the specs are correct, I'd like to know if there's any possible risks specially that 12.5.3 update just popped up for me.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] HorNet505:
I kind of loosing the overview of what Rom contains what feature and what unsolved bugs.

I'd like to have an overview table/chart where one can see all features for each ROM

Beside this, I get the impression none of the cooked ROMs is working bug-less. It seems to be a neverending problem which eventually get forgotten when new XDAs coming out :o/
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] m.schmidler:
Yep, I second that...but I think the best answer to this is: Test yourself, flash 3 different ROMs and compare your own. Nobody here knows which apps you are using, which version, which language. There are many things which can cause problems, so it´ll be best for you to test each of the ROMs for a week or so.

For me M-Amine is quite a good ROM, I think maybe udK Syrius R1 (+the fixes, see extra thread) is even better..but as I said: compare your own, even if its time-intense.

regards,

Martin

sry, double posted somehow. to mods, please delete this one, thx.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] psicobra@hotmail.com:
m.schmidler is quite correct i have tried many roms and while some people rave about a specific rom i have found it no good for my purposes at the moment i am using M-Amine and for me it is the best one so far but try a few for your self.

I come back to Touch-IT 3.5 - for me the best one ;)

reasons???
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bnm7bnm:
I tried almost all roms except ANIME now i'm with TouchIT 3.6 and its great

Maybe we can make some form so ppl can fill and then some1 will put it all together so we have table of each rom speed bugs etc.

Maybe something like this:

ROM | WM VER | RADIO VER | STUFF NOT WORKING | FIX AVAILABLE/NOT | SPB BENCHMARK ................. something like this

Its like heads of columns, would be great in excel or some thing like this then you'll collect all reports and make one file

[Google Pixel 6] GroovyGeek:
Note: I have edited the subject line to reflect the latest data I have. See post #3 below. It appears that the Tocol screen protector, which many reviews said does not interfere with the fingerprint reader, is the actual culprit

===============================

Downloaded the December update, installed smoothly and I see ZERO improvement in the fingerprint reader success rate. Same symptoms as pre update - the left finger work reasonably well, but the right finger fails massively. Most of the time I just run out of tries and have to enter the PIN to unlock. I have tried defining multiple times, focussing on different areas of the finger, trying to trigger with a full overlap or edge touch, etc. Nothing works consistently. For example, I can get the fingerprint reader to trigger and unlock with the finger placed down a certain way, then I lock the phone and try to place the finger as much as possible in the same location and reader will fail repeatedly.

What gives? This is with the Tocol screen protectors that supposedly do not interfere with fingerprint operation. I am coming to the Pixel 6 from the OP7T where the optical reader works very very well, so there is nothing wrong with my right fingerprint per se. Any suggestions? Have tried this with both low and high touch sensitivity, which should have nothing to do with the optical sensor.

Very disappointed with this phone so far. There are so many people here who report no issues, so I am wondering if there is a hardware sample variation?
[Google Pixel 6] dilruk:
That's weird. Mine works great after the mid November update. Did you remove and added the fingerprints again?
[Google Pixel 6] GroovyGeek:
Yes, multiple times. I finally decided to pull off the Tocol screen protector and things started working . So much for hundreds of reviews on Amazon stating that it is one of the few that does not interfere with the fingerprint reader.

Anyone has suggestions about screen protectors that do not interfere with the Pixel 6 fingerprint reader? I am very rough on my phones and without a screen protector the screen will be all dinged up by keys or other things in my pockets within weeks.
[Google Pixel 6] dilruk:
Im using the URSOQ one from Amazon. Works great so far
[Google Pixel 6] GroovyGeek:
Here is a list of "approved" screen protectors

Google lists Pixel 7 and 6 screen protectors certified to work with fingerprint sensor

Google has a list of certified brands that make screen protectors for Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, and 7 Pro's under-display fingerprint sensor...

9to5google.com

The Otterbox one can be ordered from Best Buy with free shipping and 5 day delivery.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
I have a Mr. Shield tempered glass glass protector and the fingerprint sensor works reasonbly well. Making sure your skin is not dry is very helpful.
[Google Pixel 6] phupton:
im using a Spigen screen protector. I did turn on the extra sensitivity setting but ended up turning it off as it was too sensitive.

My FPR works BUT its no better than before being honest...
[Google Pixel 6] v:
After having figured out that initial learning is the solution for me, it works without any issues.

I use Tocol as well.

Have you tried this?

[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
Do screen protectors actually work as advertised? I used to always have one on and more often than not they cracked at the slightest drop or event. Then I finally said I'm not spending another dime on them since my phone was about ready for an upgrade anyway within 6 months. Sure enough I dropped it a couple of times without a scratch. I never got another one and it's been at least 3 years. Now with FPR an issue perhaps it's not worth it? Just my opinion no need to flame. Are there any studies about the usefulness of them?
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
I am more concerned about scratches to the screen as hopefully my case protects the screen when dropped. Having said that I have only had a screen protector crack once. I had dropped the phone 4' on concrete. Protector cracked, screen fine.
[Google Pixel 6] v:
Back in the day I used foils to protect against scratches.

Nowerdays we use glass protectors on all our phones.

And as my daughter and wife had several impact cracks, I came to the conclusion or illusion, protectors seem to have saved a couple of displays. Sometimes the cracks in the protectors looked like spiderwebs. I am pretty shure thes incidents would have definitely killed display glass.
[Google Pixel 6] phupton:
Totally comes down to personal choice. Some people drop there phones a lot. Some don't.

For me, I'm historically a non dropper but i occasionally put my phone in my pocket and forget there is a key or something else already in there. Thats been the time where I've scratched my screen.
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
@phupton Yeah I get it and I was in that camp for a long time. But I wonder if the screen would have cracked or that the protector is so fragile it breaks way sooner than the screen would. That's why I'd love to see some studies. As for scratches that's another story of which I'm not sure. I never place my phone in a pocket with anything in it, be it my jeans, sweats, jacket or laptop bag. It's even rare I have a tissue in one of those pockets. So scratches are a non issue for me. (fingers crossed so I don't jinx it) lol
[Google Pixel 6] v:
I'd consider me as a non dropper as well.

And then there was this one day when I forgot about my phone in a suit jacket pocket, put my jacket over a stair railing and my brand new Pixel made its way 2 floors down with a couple of smashing concrete and metal hits in between.

It not only survived, it was flawless. I don't know if the protective glass played a role. Still gave me peace of mind.
[Google Pixel 6] WibblyW:
It's a similar argument to if you should use a 'clear' filter on a DSLR lens to help protect the lens from scratches

+ When you clean it, you are only risking scratches on the filter, which is relatively cheap to replace

+ It 'feels' you are protecting the lens

+ It also keeps fingermarks and liquids away from the lens

+ It's actually probably easier to clean, being flat

- The filter can make optical reflections and other artifacts worse

- The coatings on the front lens element (the one that's exposed) tend to be very tough anyway

- If the filter gets hit hard enough to break it, shards of glass from it may hit and damage the lens anyway

So just like with screen protectors - pros and cons and personal preferences. No absolute good or bad....
[Google Pixel 6] v:
I'm a Nikon and non filter kind of guy.

Looks we are making good progress OT-ing.
[Google Pixel 6] GroovyGeek:
Had not tried this specifically but had tried putting a bit of saliva on my fingertips and then wiping them off. Will keep that in mind when the new screen protector arrives. Without a protector the FPR is working great, but knowing myself I am going to scratch the screen with keys or something else within a week of running "naked".

With respect to the protector discussion - I agree that protectors have close to zero benefit when it comes to drops. But I am using them because I am not very careful with my stuff and tend to scratch screens and lenses with keys, letting them slosh around in a pocket on the dashboard of the Jeep, etc. I am running a Spigen Liquid Air case which I have used for many years with many different phones and the design seems to be good enough to protect against drops.

[Google Pixel 6] lnvincible:
For me the fingerprint sensor became usable after the update, it didn't work at all before. I'm using this TOCOL screen protector from Amazon.
[Google Pixel 6] GroovyGeek:
Update: URSOQ is going back to Amazon. Initially it worked acceptably poorly but over time it became untenable. Unless I used moisturizer right before unlocking the screen it worked at most 50% of the time. Will give a TPU protector a try and if it does not work I will overspend on one of the "google approved" ones.
[Google Pixel 6] GroovyGeek:
Another uodate: got the Milomdoi today, works brilliantly, 1/4 the price of the OtterBox one. May acrua be a knockoff. Highly recommend.

[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
I have ordered a UniqueMe TPU (non glass) SP - to see if that helps. Arrives later today hopefully - will update once I have tested for a couple of days. From what I have read in a few places - the cheaper TPU SPs do not seem to interfere much with the FP sensor...

Whilst it may not protect in a drop situation - it should at least protect against key scratches etc ...
[Google Pixel 6] phupton:
I have this and am seeing FPR trouble sadly. Thinking of removing it…

I do have dry skin though so that could be contributing to the problem.
[Google Pixel 6] MrBelter:
Weird my wifes fingerprint reader works the same with or without it now. Did you turn the touch sensitivity up and redo all your fingerprints?
[Google Pixel 6] phupton:
Hi there. I did try turning the sensitivity up but was getting so many false touch issues that I was actually losing control of my phone so had to turn that setting off.

I have re-registered my fingers many times too. Basically, the FPR is very hit and miss at the moment. Hopefully it will stabilise with future updates.
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
Hi Everyone,

Just to confirm that I have now been using the UniqueMe TPU for almost 2 days now and I can confirm it works as well as no SP present. It unlocks almost all the time - occasionally it hesitates momentarily before unlock - i.e. takes a fraction of a second longer.

I suspect this may apply to most TPU SPs based on what I have read here and on other forums.

I appreciate that TPU may not give the same protection when dropped - compared to tempered glass. But my case has raised edges so hopefully it will be OK and I was getting so fed up with the FP issue that I am willing to risk it..My main worry was about fine scratches from keys and coins etc which the TPU should be good for.

I have had my phone since late October and tried several Tempered glass SPs. Some of them were working reasonably well prior to the Dec update - but since the Dec update even those became intolerable.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] doobie12:
Hi everyone,

I just got my pixel 5, and the home screen with the pixel launcher is not to my taste. The thing is when I try a custom launcher (Nova/Lawnchair etc..), every time I close all the recent apps, the "no recent apps" message blinks just before going back to the home screen.

Now I know it's not such a big deal, but it really interferes with the fluidity of the OS for me. Like a constant reminder that I'm using something that wasn't designed for the pixel experience.

Anyone have any idea what i'm talking about? maybe it's an easy fix?
