NOTE: It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup (or with any backup/restore app) as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug, restoring regular apps is fine.

If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.

[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
Does this ROM support face unlock? I know its not included in the standard AOSP
[Google Pixel 7a] V3NK4135H:
Yes it does.
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
If you don't mind me asking, what's included with this custom ROM to allow face unlock that LineageOS and similar don't have? I want native face unlock (my job requires gloves often) but not native gApps like this ROM provides. What would it take to add face unlock to a ROM like lineage or similar?
[Google Pixel 7a] V3NK4135H:
You would need to build the ROM from source with face unlock stuff added to it.
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
Gotcha. Any idea on if there may be a Pixel Blaster ROM without gApps? If that is ever released, this may be my go to ROM. Everything else is perfect
[Google Pixel 7a] V3NK4135H:
There may be a possibility of a no Gapps build but no commitment as of now.
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
When trying to build from source I'm running into dependency issues. Is there anybody I can send some logs to and help figure out what I'm doing wrong?
[Google Pixel 7a] PapaSmurf6768:
Installed this a few days ago and very happy with it so far, can tell the emphasis was on stability!

Was able to add my card to Google Wallet out-of-the-box, which was a huge plus. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7a] V3NK4135H:
Thanks for the great review. I intend to make it better.
[Google Pixel 7a] V3NK4135H:
Sure. If you're building PixelBlaster, you can send the logs to me in a DM.
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
Messaged. Thanks man I really appreciate it
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
Does this ROM change the GPS functionality at all? Stock has crappy GPS. Would this be just as crappy? Or does it improve it?
[Google Pixel 7a] V3NK4135H:
OP Updated with new build with August security patch.
[Google Pixel 7a] Saswata Chakraborty:
Crappy GPS? It's way better than my previous Redmi K20 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A52s.
[Google Pixel 7a] Saswata Chakraborty:
If anyone needs a more simplified instruction, here it is;

Boot into fastboot (check YT video how to do that). Then flash the below .img files.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot flash vendor_kernel_boot vendor_kernel_boot.img

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

(N.B. You can skip init_boot.img as per the developer. It's not necessary)

Now reboot into recovery by pressing the volume up/down and power button. Perform a factory reset by going into advanced settings > Format data / factory reset option. Next, select Apply Update> Apply from ADB and on PC and then sideload the ROM package using: adb sideload PixelBlaster-6.4-OFFICIAL-lynx.zip on your PC. Wait until it's done. Now format the device once and boot into system. Done!!

[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
You obviously don't use Android Auto every day.
[Google Pixel 7a] Zobat:
Is this ROM still maintained and updated?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] trinitybilly:
Hi,

This is really annoying me, I have an Asus P525 flashed with Sorg's latest ROM, all working well.

Seems to have horrendous battery life, is this because I am running Winterface all the time, I thought they had got rid of the battery drain problems that earlier releases had.

Also, I can never see my balance after I send an SMS, because this really annoying 'Session Terminated' notification appears, is there a reg edit I can do to get rid of it?

Any help is appreciated,

thanks

[Honor Magic4 Pro] vstoicaa:
Hello everyone,

I have a Honor Magic 5 Pro with Magic OS 7.1 and i m wondering if there a posibility to decrease the size of Notification Panel ( notifications and shotcurts ) and in the same time the Notification Bar. Those 2 things are to big. I had before a Huwei P30 Pro ( with GMS ) and i could change the smallest width from Developer Options without that to revert back after restarting the phone. Now every time i restart the phone the seeting is lost. There are an app that i could use ?

Thanks
[Honor Magic4 Pro] gubik7:
..hi, me main problem after this first few months of use is lack of software updates, and at this point is going to be almost 3 months, although magic os never was autonomic system (skin) rather re-named version of huawei emui, so for now is a bit of a lottery if all the honor user will receive proper software support soon enough..
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Dafit05:
is the root method on the latest firmware the same as the previous firmware? my samsung a32 with the latest firmware, until now I have never tried to root it, because I'm still unsure about doing it. but I already unlocked the bootloader.

current firmware : A325FXXU5DWE3

sorry my English is not good.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Captain_cookie_200:
i use kernelsu but. you can patch the ap file with magisk. and the procedure would stay the same for each fw
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] wavetsuname:
yeah should be the same, just make sure to also patch in a custom recovery using odin like orangefox or twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Captain_cookie_200:
wht
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] wavetsuname:
as in, before rooting you need a custom recovery to flash magisk or kernelsu
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Captain_cookie_200:
for kernelsu yes. magisk no. not needed but u can (i had issues with just patching boot.img or renaming the apk to .zip and flashing(
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] wavetsuname:
ohh okay, haven't tried magisk in a while

I have tried every driver I can find. Most are 64 Vista driver but none seem to work. I can't QPST my phone til I find a driver. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] OffYourRocker:
I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I even have drivers which I found in some forum as being designed specifically for xp x64, and they still do not work. Vista x64 and xp x64 should be compatible, it's probably just a matter of changing some lines in the inf.

[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] shadenfroh:
I'm using the eu rom and Google messages. Normal sms works just fine, but when I try to pay for parking the little white popup I'm used to does not appear.

The stock messages app works for premium sms, although it does not display the confirmation popup either, just sends it straight away

I tried looking at the premium sms permission, but no apps are listed.

Any ideas?

Hello, everyone! I want to ask you about the quality of the compass on your devices. On my device, regardless of the installed ROM, the compass is constantly in a uncalibrated state, which creates inconvenience during street navigation. Maybe someone knows how to fix it? Thanks.

[Red Magic 8 pro] JWnSC:
Works fine after disabling encryption. Few bugs, nothing major.. Settings don't stick..have to change language everytime.. nandroid backup works, super.img restore works..but Data restore not working
[Red Magic 8 pro] hasansinayan:
I also didn't react it kept freezed, twrp and uninstalled it back
[Red Magic 8 pro] Coolness3579:
How do you go about disabling encryption
[Red Magic 8 pro] JWnSC:
I used dfe neo to remove encryption initially. Then used ro2rw to convert partitions from ext4 r/o to ext4 r/w and patch fstab.

I did this on 3.28 fw btw.. Latest fw removed some fastboot commands as stated in op
[Red Magic 8 pro] DarkestSpawn:
Which ro2rw did you use (Can you link it as well?), and what exact options did you do? I was failing to get mounts on everything inside super
[Red Magic 8 pro] JWnSC:
I installed latest stable ro2rw in magisk then used termux, set output for sparse and flashed super.img with fastboot..

It works from recovery also if data is decrypted. When I used it.. didn't have twrp available at the time.

I tested it again later on using twrp..restored unmodified super.img then flashed ro2rw with twrp..it worked. You can install it however you like, just make sure to use backup option also and save output to your PC.
[Red Magic 8 pro] gwenmillett:
Useless rant here but, I can't believe this phone has been released for so long and no one could get a recovery or rom working without bugs. If this was a xiaomi phone there would be a hundred roms already thanks to the Indians
[Red Magic 8 pro] Coolness3579:
I looked into building a rom but it's surprisingly hard and is a pain to do, I might try again if i get more free time
[Red Magic 8 pro] Keyjeyelpi:
The reason why is because it's just not worth it. Brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, and Oneplus have already established a big community. The number of people who have this phone (or a Nubia phone) are minute, add to the fact that more or less half of the people who have it don't care much about custom roms.

Most devs look at the number of people in the community and how many people want custom roms first before actually putting in the effort of making a custom rom work for the said device. Add to that the fact that this phone ain't cheap.
[Red Magic 8 pro] tooandrew:
Will this work with a redmagic 8s pro?

I bricked mine by locking bootloader after rooting and it deleted all my partitions

[Red Magic 8 pro] chi0:
Can you share with us the necessary file downloads? I really don't know where to find the download address for these files. Thank you. Are these files installed in TWRP? Also, there is TWRP 3.7.2.1. Where did you download it? Is it Red Magic 8pro.
[Red Magic 8 pro] chi0:
Can we package this, the fixed TWRP, and then flash it into the TWRP
[Red Magic 8 pro] chi0:
When will you be back? Can you backup and package this root, and then share this already mounted TWRP
[Red Magic 8 pro] chi0:
Come back quickly, can you go to the backup of TWRP and share this pre mounted TWRP. Or where can I see this tutorial video
[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] SharpBunny:
The ROG Phone 7 and Ultimate have DC Dimming! That's great! I love to use my phone without headaches or migraines! I love to use it in dark areas without being disoriented or dissociated!

Has anyone tried the DC dimming mode on this phone? How is it? Does anyone know how the mode works?

Usually Samsung displays cannot use DC dimming, but both this phone and the Zenfone 10 claim to have this feature on samsung panels! What's with that!? DC dimming is only availible if you lock the screen to 60HZ (that's 60FPS for you gamers), Why is that? That's true of ZP9, and ZP10 as well!

Here is an intro to DC dimming if you want to know why it's good or what it is:

[Asus ROG Phone 7 / 7 Ultimate] macedoniareal:
DC dimming kinda screws up the colors and 60hz only is just ehh. It works though, but I don't see a reason to use it over PWM dimming since it's already pretty good, but PWM sensitive folks might appreciate DC dimming being an option.

[XPERIA X1 General] JPo_23:
Whenever I go into call history, by whatever means, it seems that I always get a filtered call list.

I'm used to this being the case when I view missed calls, from my previous WM devices, but when I enter call history from the dialler screen I should get a full list, but I get either outgoing calls only, or incoming calls only. I can't see any options to change this behaviour. (I know I can select the filter in the right softkey menu, but it's a pain to do this every time.)

Ideally I'd like to never, ever, see a filtered list.

Does anyone know of any solutions to this?

[Google Pixel Watch] scrai:
Hi,

I just bought an Oppo Find X 6 Pro and a Pixel watch. Unforntunately, both were from private sellers on ebay, so I cannot return the watch. I did not realize, that the Pixel watch won't pair with phones using a Chinese rom.

Since we are already rooted, is there any chance to force a pair with some modified app, spoofing or the like? I also have access to a regular phone for westrern markets, so I woner if anyone has tried the "Pair to new phone without reset" thing. https://xdaforums.com/t/pair-watch-...rtphone-tablet-without-factory-reset.4228895/

Regards
[Google Pixel Watch] fillwithjoy1:
Check if there is Google Play Services exists on your phone. If there isn't check the Oppo Find X6 Pro forums on this site on how to get it working
[Google Pixel Watch] scrai:
There is no Oppo Find X6 Pro forum here. Howeverr, the "Pair to new phone without reset" did work.

I paired it with my old Huawei P40 Pro (lol) which had Google services after the usual modding. Then I did the reconnect thing via Wi-Fi ADP Debugging. Furthermore, I paired the watch with the sideloaded Chinese WearOs app and installed both Western WearOS and Pixel Watch app from the Play Store. Both Western apps won't work for pairing. The Chinese WearOS app starts the pairing process, but gets stuck at ~50%. Then I force-closed all three apps, and now the watch is shown as connected in all three apps. Pixel Watch app sometimes crashes, but if I reopen it 1–2 times it does work. Apart from that, there are no missing features. An OTA update went fine as well. The whole process is a bit clunky, but it's working. So I don't have to spend double the price of the Pixel Watch for a Huawei Watch 4.
[Google Pixel Watch] DaMonHead:
Hi Scrai, I have the same situation as you, may I ask what do you mean by Wi-Fi ADP Debugging, I would like to pair my pixel to Oppo chinese rom too.

I suggest you try pairing it with the Chinese Wear OS app first

Hi guys. I have a Vivo X Fold 2 device and I'm not able to connect my Pixel Watch on Wear OS 3.5. I got my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro on Wear OS 4 to connect by connecting it first to my S23 Ultra and then connecting it to my Vivo X Fold 2. I'm guessing I have to wait until Wear OS 4 is released on my Pixel Watch to do the same thing. Is there any way to connect my Pixel Watch on Wear OS 3.5 to my Vivo X Fold 2? The Pixel Watch app keeps crashing on my Vivo and the Pixel Watch doesn't come up using the Chinese Wear OS app.
[Google Pixel Watch] gambitaw01:
How did you manage to get the Pixel watch app not to crash on the Oppo Find X 6 Pro ?
[Google Pixel Watch] scrai:
See my last post. This was working for me. Later the app is crashing constantly, so you cannot install new apps etc. unless you reinstall and re-pair everything. But if you are set up, it is working. It still wasn't the experience I was looking for, so I sold the Pixel watch at a loss and got a Huawei watch instead.
[Google Pixel Watch] gambitaw01:
Yea it gives me issues. Cant even re-link with the adb. I wish i had a debug or a reason for the crash, or someone who can develop a bypass.

I need an LTE watch and this was the only one i found which was goood. Disappointed
