[Google Pixel 6 Pro] darbylonia:
Hi all!

I have not been on here for several months but am starting to look at what's out there as of now. I am still on 12 and the June build with Kirisakura kernel. I would like to know what others are running so I can consider what to do next as it's time to start tinkering. Go to 13? Custom AOSP? What are most running now? And yes, I know the experience is unique to our devices so no need to point that out.

Thanks!(y)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
i use ricedroid v8 with kirisakura and it works perfectly
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MidnightDevil:
I second this.

Rice is one of the best custom roms here with loads of customisations and compatible with Kiri kernel.

I'm on stock for now but waiting for Rice 9 :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] darbylonia:
Awesome - this one did look great. I will check it out!

Thank you!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
I'm running paranoid android topaz. I like the fact the rom has an ota function. I think I gotta go thru the hassle of fastboot flashing root every update though :P
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sjgoel:
Agreed 100%.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] darbylonia:
I used to run PA on my past devices. Is this pretty stable in your experience?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
Yes it's pretty stable. Some system apps show the 'app not responding' popup.

I experienced very severe slowdown and lag on stock. I think it had to do with cloud syncing. Although, on PA I don't experience any slowdown. Stable enough for daily use imo. Use the latest version
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Depends on your objectives. If you have any interest in actual security, you should look at GrapheneOS. Pretty much everything else is made by kids who have no idea what they're doing, so don't trust it too far.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] darbylonia:
Thanks! I will check out Graphene. Never tried it before. I am interested in security.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spinoza23:
Can you get rooted after it?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sjgoel:
Yes.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Twilightsparklez:
Sandboxed gapps isn't flzwless. You can't sync contacts through google. If you consider graphene please research and don't just dive in like i did stupidly one day. It isn't customization focused so if you want to tweak stuff look into ricedroid or even crdroid. But if you want a secure os and don't use too much google graphene is the gold standard. Calling everything else garbage is a very terrible mindset. I try to encourage developers, not insult them like a certain someone in this thread
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
if you want any extra features grapheneos is not what you want, unless you are being targetted by somebody or are super paranoid its overkill imo
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] djclark25:
Is rice like stock pixel ROM with all the same features like Now Playing etc? Obviously I know it has loads more customisations. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Of course you can sync google contacts. Use DAVx5 as the interface software.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FireRattus:
I am using GrapheneOS (my own Magisk Patched build) and you are able to sync google contacts with the included contacts app, it took a minute for them to appear after installing the play services and stuff then logging in, as well as granting the appropriate permissions, google play services needs the contacts permission, it's very secure by default and because of this you will need to grant google some permissions for everything to work as it does on google stock, like the notifications permission
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FireRattus:
Graphenes extra features are more security features, it does have far less customizability than some other roms but is still a great rom for every day use, I don't believe you need to be paranoid to want the security it offers

one of the main things for me is being able to lock the bootloader and have full AVB2 protections

this makes my data much more secure if the phone were to fall into the hands of someone else

You are also still able to root the phone with magisk and have a locked boot loader with Graphene if you build the rom yourself or use the builds I provide, this allows you to use Magisk and LSPosed to make further modifications as necessary
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
yeah it does depend on your threat model ig, i find that i dont really need a locked bootloader so i dont mind
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:
I have done research and downloaded everything that I think I need to do the job. Are there any differences I need to know to unlock the bootloader and root the T-Mobile branded Pixel 7 Pro? It will be arriving today.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BIGWORM:
Just need to follow the How-To Guide that's already been posted. Additionaly, with TMO, you need to make sure your phone is SIM-unlocked. Fastest way to do that is to seek out TMO Help on Twitter (I forgot their @ at the moment), and tell them you're going overseas for an extended period of time. They'll be able to remotely unlock the SIM for your permanently, which in turn will let you unlock the bootloader. Follow the How-To Guide from there.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:
So nothing is different as far as the difference between buying one from Google or from T-Mobile? I just want to be sure. I have a little ptsd from the oneplus 10 pro I tried to root and change regions. This is so different from when I was doing this stuff everyday, 10 years ago things were easy.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xdrc45:
They both achieve the same results. Guess it just a preference of which one you can follow along with.

I personally used @roirraW "edor" ehT guide. You can also look at @badabing2003 Pixel Flasher Tool here
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:
I downloaded that tool, but have no idea how to use it. I still have a lot of reading to do.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xdrc45:
You can look at the main thread here and it gives you more information on using the Pixel Flasher Tool. It's actually very user friendly. I definitely would do some reading until you feel comfortable using one of the guides. Unless you're familiar with adb/fastboot commands, which isn't hard. Then I might suggest using the Pixel Flasher Tool.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] badabing2003:
It's best to learn the manual way, that is the safest way, learning helps you in many ways, and you can always get yourself out of troubles, or for the very least it helps you post pertinent messages that others who know better can help you, and of course, once you know, you can help others, which is what XDA is all about.

The learning curve at first might appear steep, however I assure you, many before you have walked through those steps and managed, you can too, in the meantime if you're hesitant about any step, ask questions, we're all here to help you.

I only recommend automated tools like PF to those who know all the manual steps, and want to save some time skipping the tedious steps (yes it gets tedious when you do it every month, or for some more often).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Wickidmasshole:
As a fellow t-mo oneplus prisoner of war when it came to converting those phones (loss of sim/ bootloops/crash dumps/MSM back to stock 100 times) you'll be happy to hear having the pixel is almost like its 2012 all over again, Once you unlock the sim. No wonky sim crap, no unlock token needed and you can flash global firmware with zero issues. The fact I traded in a one plus 9 at t-mobile and got the P7P for close to nothing makes me love the phone even more.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] neelchauhan:
Even for me, OnePlus hardware still has tons of appeal, but that the situation with bootloader unlocking is so murky and makes it a literal no-go for me. Even Samsung is better if you exclude the US.

OnePlus was the better option for 2020 with the Pixel 5 dud, but not a good option for 2022 and beyond.

I didn't buy a carrier-locked device since the Moto Z2 Force (Sprint didn't accept OnePlus), and replaced it with a non-carrier Pixel 3. Went OnePlus 8, and back to Pixel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:
I know how to use adb ,fastboot, even fastboot advanced. I have never sideloaded anything and have not used any custom recoveries for many years. I used to theme but that was about 15-20 years ago. I was still using Cyanogenmod and clockwork.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:
This is the last carrier branded phone I will be purchasing, as long as finances support that decision.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:
My Pixel came in yesterday and in the system says sim slot 1 and sim slot 2. Is this able to use dual sims? The tray only seems to hold 1.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xdrc45:
Luckily I haven't purchased a carrier branded phone since before the Nexus 5.

It is dual SIM but it's 1 nano SIM and 1 eSIM
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:
I am unlocked. Thank you all for your help so far. I really appreciate you!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Loustsoul:
Another question for duel sim. If I have a sim (physical) and I use the download sim option, does it download the same sim? I have a second line that I would normally use (physical) and just swap out as needed. How would I get both esim and physical sim in the phone? I think I would just download the one that I have in the phone and install the one that I have outside the phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] santela:
I'm thinking about getting an unlocked Diamond and use it on T-Mobile network in the States, but i heard the Diamond doesn't get good signal strength in the US due to the lack of support of 850 or sth.

I have very very poor signal in my apartment, I only get 1 bar with my Nokia, and that's when I put my phone right beside the window. Anywhere else in the room, nothing.

I just want to know if the tweaks would help me get a good signal strength, at least as good as a Nokia. Thanks!
[Introductions] brianc31525:
Brian here saying howdy peeps.

1st was a HTC 601 and to this day wish I still had. Simpler times. HTC would unlock your bootloader for you.

2nd was a HTC Desire 610 cause Alltell sold to AT&Crap. POS phone.

3rd is a S9. Awesome phone except unrootable. F Knox!

4th is a question. Going to get a new phone today and what should I get? Primarily used for gaming but not the crappy games. Diablo Immortal, ES:Blades, CSR2, Asphalt 8 and 9, WoWs: Blitz. Large games with demanding graphics.

Suggestions?
[Introductions] orb3000:

[Introductions] brianc31525:
Well I picked the Pixel 7 Pro. 256Gb version as AT&T doesn't carry the 512Gb (really think they didn't know they made a 512Gb cause I had to prove it to them) FedEx delivered this morning. Wait for it...128Gb version. FUBAR I say! Always read the box b4 cutting the seals. It saved me. Now just got to waste more gas. SMFH!
[Introductions] brianc31525:
Also snookered me again.. 8gb ram stread of 12. Screen on s9 definitely better. But seen a decent performance in most games

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Wasim.Ahmed:
I would like to share my tasker project

Whenever selected apps notification arrive display turn on for 100ms (Modify it to your liking) and after screen turn off AOD activates (Without screen turn On AOD doesn't activates on os 13) with schedule time 5am to 11.30pm (Modify it to your liking). When all selected app notifications are cleared, AOD is disabled.

Currently I have it set up for whatsapp but you can add or remove programs easily from within the task.

You need tasker and tasker settings installed to make it work with all permission granted & (write secure settings permissions via ADB).

Just hold your finger on the home button at the bottom of the tasker screen and import.

Tested On

OnePlus 9 Pro (OS 13)

OnePlus 8 Pro (OS 13)

I swear I was always getting 5G UC on the pixel 6. I seem to be stuck at regular 5G on the p7p. I cant find an option to play with APN either.
[General Questions and Answers] fireweed:
Running DirectPush on WM6.1 & Exchange 2007 I get a security policy pushed to my device that not only enforces an unlock pin but also makes all programs that were not cooked into the rom unable to run. It even disables certain programs like Remote Desktop and runs encryption on my device.

I've tried things like Zenyee.com Stay Unlock but once the policy is applied you cannot even run a program to edit the registry. It just locks you out.

Any suggestions?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] coolvan170:
I have a LE 2125, didn't like what OOs12 did ( no Android Auto, worse battery life), so I replaced the ROM with Lineage OS 18.1. THAT broke even more things, especially banking apps, ( and still no Android Auto) due to it needing to be unlocked ( but not rooted). Tried factory reset and flashing the OEM recovery. Now I have that in slot b and the Lineage recovery in slot A. Now the phone cannot go into EDL, by pushing the volume buttons I can bring it into Lineage recovery, OR the stock Recovery if I go to Fastboot. I am so confused with how to install TWRP to regain control of my phone.

All the instructions for installing Magisk, or TWRP ( twrp used to be easy to install, either flashing or from the OS) or using MSM seem to be written by programmers talking to other programmers, ie too much knowledge is assumed when giving steps or making references to other things.

I installed the Qualcomm drivers, but the MSM tool ( proper one for my lemonadep, as far as I can tell and launched as ADmin) doesn't see anything, and of course I cannot seem to get EDL, or TWRP running.

When I connect my phone to the USB cable ( stock Oneplus red one connected to USB2.0 port) it brings up the Oneplus logo for about 10 seconds, then blinks, then after 10 more seconds goes blank, then after 5 seconds the pattern repeats.

I am not exactly a noob at this, I installed many OSes on my previous Oneplus ( One, X, 3T, 6T) phones, but none with this slot a/b thing. Admittedly my last OS replacement was on my 6T so it has been a few years, and my how things have changed!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Can you, in fastboot mode (both volume buttons with power button combo) run command fastboot boot twrp.img or whatever the name you have, boots into TWRP then tap on advanced and tap on flash current TWRP...... That is how I do it!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] coolvan170:
That is one of my problems – I cannot find the image file for my device. All the links I followed lead me to source code which I must compile myself. The TWRP installer 3.6.2_11-0-lemonadep zip RAMdisk-twrp.cpio, magisk boot file which is only 300 K bites and a meta-info folder. But it is a zip file not an image file.

Thus is the latest twrp(unofficial, but decrypts and all functions work) by @der_akinator. U must flash vendor_boot.img 1st, then BOOT boot.img. Then once u get in twrp u can go to advanced and install "latest twrp" permantly if you please. However after that u are suppose to go back to fastboot and flash your stock vendor_boot, for your system to work. However, since you're isn't and you are going to use twrp to install rom/OS I think you can skip last part(stock vendor_boot flashing)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] coolvan170:

[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Also you can try to side load TWRP img then use TWRP to boot into EDL mode...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Savio Dantes:
The problem with the new A/B Slot solution is (2) things need to match in order to initiate a correct OS boot:

A Stock or (Working) Custom recovery.img

A Stock boot.img

This need to exist in both slots (A & B)

When in a Bootloop, your device is responding to a mismatch of at least one of these, causing corruption and a looping response.

I've made the same mistake and accidentally soft-bricked (what you're currently experiencing) on both my Oneplus 8 Pro and Oneplus 10 Pro

e.g.

Once in Fastboot mode, try flashing a clean boot and recovery to BOTH slots like this :

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img

Try following my guide here to get things on track via Fastboot Mode:

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] SubwayChamp:
Some custom ROMs use something called AOSP vendor (LTS), not based on the Xiaomi vendor, while others use from the Xiaomi, I didn't check this ROM, some developers make files apart for every partition (like the Xiaomi.eu recovery ROMs) but some, just integrate them where it has to reside, you can see inside the zip, if it's apart, you may find it, if it's integrated, then you have to decompile it, Linux has good tools to do that.
