You can use GSIs, since your phone is compatible. Most AOSP GSIs are stable just like normal ROMs.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] MohaCario:
Right before going to sleep, my phone all of sudden didn't want to connect to wifi or mobile data. All my other devices had no problem. Restarting didn't help. Only this morning did it work again, but I'm trying to figure out whether this is a normal thing to happen or a sign of future failure.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] MohaCario:
Alright, I figured it out, it was the Adguard DNS server in Prague going down that caused it.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 50g:
I have a Pixel 5 here which is stuck with a blinking battery icon with a question mark.

The battery itself is fine and works in another phone, another battery in this particular phone gives the same result. I even swapped the motherboard to another housing and used another screen. Therefore the problem can be isolated to the motherboard. The battery connector seems fine, cleaned it anyways.

Is there a way to get past that screen? Other suggestions / areas to look at?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Since you've already determined the problem is the mainboard, you won't find any additional advice here beyond replacing it. That particular mainboard is not reading the battery for some reason, perhaps the battery controller is bad. I doubt anyone here has information on repairing the board as most of us stop short of disassembling our phones, so your best bet is probably to buy and replace the mainboard. However, unless you have the appropriate low level software tools (such as QPST) to write the IMEI to the new board, you are going to run into more problems.

Quickmark is a matrix (bar) code reader. It uses the phones camera to read 2d (matrix) bar codes. Have a look at their website here http://www.quickmark.com.tw

Register (free) and download the app (there's a specific d/l for the Touch HD).

Once installed, goto QuickMark DIY on their website, there's a utility there to let you generate matrices for all sorts of data such as emails, sms texts, plain text etc. You can then download the jpg/png of the file, point your phone to it and it decodes it.

It really is fascinating. My god this would have made a fascinating college project for some software student.

The first one to decode the attached image gets to sleep with me. :eek:

Tip: blow the images up a bit and get the phone nicely focussed (should hapen automatically in Quickmark) and hey presto, I bet you get a kick outa this.

There is another 2d barcode reader out there called scanlife.

http://scanlife.com

If u go 2 their website and check out the examples page, there are loads of videos showing how one might use this technology.

What makes the technology interesting over traditional 1d bar codes is that 2d codes can contain metadata (data about data). So for example you can have a 2d barcode to represent a web link, or an sms, or a bookmark or a business card etc.

Therefore, you could have a 2d bar code beside a restaurant add in a magazine. When the user scans it, they get the coordinates for the restaurant as a link to google maps.

Or perhaps you are reading an article about a band, there is a 2d barcode at the bottom of the article, you scan it and are brought to their website or perhaps their iTunes store.

Perhaps you are reading a review of a song and click on an adjacent 2d barcode that brings you to a link to a smaple of the mp3.

Can ya see the possibilities ?

[Touch HD General] gt112:
do you mean that there are 2D codes on pepsi cans? or did you scan a 1D (traditional) code ?

If there are 2D codes on pepsi cans, wud you take a photo of it and upload it ?
[Touch HD General] carola:
Which version

Which version did you use? I downloaded Diamond Pro's but it failed to install on HD
[Touch HD General] rovex:
These codes and scanners have been around for years, they have never really caught on that much though. You can find them on blogs and there is a firefox plugin that create them so you can quickly get URLs onto your phone.
[Touch HD General] gt112:
I didn't download scanlife. Just using it as an example.
[Touch HD General] Lucas0511:
Indeed around for years in access solutions, from ski arena access to train tickets by MMS. Problem is, hardware solutions like RFID and NFC are more secure, and upcoming technology for mobile phones offers picture and video recognition (check out Sekai Camera in development if you like, iPhone only: http://tonchidot.com/index_info.html) more appealing to the eye than barcodes.
[Touch HD General] carola:
Thanks, I managed to download it and installed, but find more difficult to use.

We are very excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Uvite, based on Android 14.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the PlayStore.

Our builds are based on the Code Linaro Organization Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Notice

We kindly ask all of you that are in a position to donate anything, to help and support us so we can provide better and faster build releases, as well as increase the download speed of our servers, all looking for your enjoyment.

Ohhh finally！

Though considering I have Japan model, I guess I will lose the access to felica. But I can cope with that I guess. Thanks!
[Asus Zenfone 9] DankDeuxez:
Are special functions like "zentouch" working on this rom?
[Asus Zenfone 9] DankDeuxez:
unable to install this on my Zf9. Bootloader is unlocked. I can get into Fastbootd, but the device itself isnt recognized unless i update the drivers in device manager. I have to update it EVERY time the phone goes into fastbootd. Just backing out and back in again makes it unrecognizable by the PC.

Updating it allows "Fastboot devices" to see it. However typing Fastboot -w just gives me "Erase successful, but not automatically formatting. Cant determine partition type" and then also "FAILED (remote:Invalid partition)" for both userdata and cache. Flashing the recovery after this just gives me:

"Writing "recovery""

"FAILED (remote: no such file or directory)"

What the hell is going on? Tried on 2 different PCs and still the same.

[Asus Zenfone 9] Veiranx:
I have it installed, though the ROM seems to have difficulties connecting to Google services. At the moment, I still have no connection.

Really smooth, though! Loving how fluid it all is.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Veiranx:
UPDATE: While I was not able to get the Setup to connect to Google services, I was able to connect to Google services after the fact and download apps. A minor inconvenience for me, but I think it's worth addressing for others.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Darkmasterhk:
First big thanks to @Androbots and the whole team

Tested it for a couple of days now, rom really has daily driver potential, when the devs keep working on it.

Pros:

- Super smooth

- feels pretty pixel like

- colors in camera look better (especially night mode feels better to me)

- Bluetooth works with all my devices

- no crashes or other big issues so far

Cons/issues:

- (most annoying) when selecting text, the copy, search,... Menu doesn't always (actually basically never) appear

- after being in landscape (game), after turning screen off/on touch controls seem to be in portrait (90 degree flipped)

- couldn't find double tab 2 wake (maybe I missed it?)

- runs into thermal throttling way earlier then stock, even with performance mode enabled

- sound is a bit worth, but that was to be expected

- no slow motion in camera, no idea about the other modi, I rarely use the cam
[Asus Zenfone 9] DankDeuxez:
My pc nor laptop doesnt have any type C ports. Been using a usb A to C cable. I know it works because ADB finds my phone AND fastboot if i install the fastboot drivers.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Veiranx:
UPDATE2: After having it installed for around five days, the active usage of the phone seems to have improved versus the stock OS (according to Accubattery): Screen on Rate is 9-10% per hour vs >10% per hour on stock. However, during sleep mode there seems to be something draining it; Screen off rate is 1-2% per hour. This is much higher than it is for stock, which is routinely at the 0.6-1% range.

While it may depend on what apps are installed, services active, etc., I'm comparing most of the same apps between stock and Topaz Alpha 1. Topaz, due to having to manually install everything, has fewer apps due to me just not having gotten around to getting them all yet.
[Asus Zenfone 9] People11:
1. Always show time and info seems not working

2. No tap2wake

3. Built-in Chrome browser crash (fix after update)

4. Cannot install 32-bit only APPs (I know but still have to use some)

5. Cannot remove Google account after login (shows not allowed by admin)

6. Built-in camera APP too minimal (I know there is no GCam for it yet, so I suggest switching to Asus stock camera APP)

7. The vibrations feel awful, it has a Linear Resonant Actuator, but now feels like a Rotating Mass.

8. Wrong device requirement when flashing (require taro)

9. Flashing fastboot option failed (can't switch to slot B, odm_b partition not exist, etc.)

10. Battery drained 1.3% per hour when screen off (I personally think this is much)
[Asus Zenfone 9] aaa.bbb111222:
Are there any build instructions?
[Asus Zenfone 9] Androbots:
Thank you for the feedback. Coming to your issues:

- Haven't faced this one

- Intended AOSP behavior

- Yet to be implemented

- That's due to the differences between thermal implementations in stock vs. pa

- Speakers same as above ^

- GCam Go is supposed to be minimal, I'll pin the GCam I use in OP

I am still trying to figure out what's causing the idle drain. Better active drain should be expected since the kernel is free of thousands of lines/second worth of debug prints that were enabled for some reason on stock and is also mostly free of debug drivers that tend to regress both performance and battery life.

New update will be seeded once qpr2 (March Feature Drop) is merged into source.

Just want to say, I've been using this ROM for the past 2 weeks. Installation was a bit rocky; the first time, I couldn't get the camera to work. After reinstalling stock ROM then reinstalling AOSPA again, it's working great. The ROM is the closest thing to stock Pixel Android on the Z9 so far, I love it.

Eagerly waiting for the updates. Thanks again for the ROM!

I'm wanting to update from the Alpha to Stable. Do I need to start from scratch or can the update be done smoothly, albeit manually? Or do I need to reset my phone again in order to get the new update?

Nevermind! Figured it out. I just had to run fastboot update image-name-goes-here.zip Like the directions say but to not wipe the data. I had some trouble running it, but TWRP helped instead of using the recovery that came with the image.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 50g:
Have an used Pixel 5 here which was labeled as sim locked (carrier unknown ). I'm not sure if it really has sim lock or if the mobile connection is defective. When I insert my SIM it asks for the PIN and then the correct carrier is shown under network settings - there is no signal however.

How can I make sure it has sim lock and it's not a HW defect?

If it's locked - is there a way to find out the carrier which it is locked by?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 50g:
More general - how is a sim lock indicated to the user when inserting a sim from another provider?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 50g:
I've sent the phone to google for repair (Connectivity problem). They stated that no defect was found which would support the sim lock theory. Is there a way to know for sure?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
If Google Repair team says there are no defects (assuming the team that handled it were competent), then it most likely is a carrier locked phone. I've never used a locked phone before so I'm not sure what to look for but if you can find out which carrier it's locked to, you could try inserting that carrier's sim card?

If you get a signal, then swap out the sim card to a different carrier and if it doesn't work, then it's definitely locked.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] 50g:
I don't know which carrier it could be looked to and how to find that out. When I enter the IMEI at the start of the repair process in the google store the device is identified as "Pixel 5 (128 GB, Just Black, without SIM-Lock)".

If you're not familiar with telegram, you need to install it on your phone, register your phone number, then you can use Telegram Portable Desktop app to link your desktop to your phone's telegram.

Once you're in that channel, search "xt2215" and it will show relevant posts with links to recovery and custom/GSI roms. Note: download speed is slow, so be patient.
