[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Bobb_o:
I switched from a OP9 to an 8P. Rooting was easy but the phone does get warm just like the 888 phones.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] GreaterLesser:
Also went from OnePlus 9 Pro to Pixel 8 Pro. Honestly could not be happier with the upgrade. Rooting the Pixel had a slight learning curve compared to the OP9P but overall nothing worrisome. imo OnePlus just isn't the same company anymore and it's phone heavily reflect that so I opt'd for the Pixel 8 Pro instead of the OnePlus 11 or waiting for the OnePlus 12 and don't regret it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
I am confused, before getting my P7Pro I bought a OP11 and the rooting process was exactly the same. You patch init_boot then flash it? Very simple.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nolimit78:
I came from the OP9 to the P8P and holy cow. This is the phone I've been waiting for. Finally a screen that mirrors Oneplus' but doesn't skimp anywhere else. Charging speeds both wired and wireless and a bit lackluster compared. At least the charging speeds rival the OP7 :D Literally my biggest complaint.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Veid71:
yeah rooting on the one plus devices are pretty easy, i was talking about my old pixel devices being a pain to root, but from the sounds of it it sounds like it got a lot easier
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] GreaterLesser:
We're specifically talking about the OnePlus 9 Pro here. On that phone, you had to patch the boot.img, as it didn't have init_boot.img. So coming to the Pixel 8 Pro, you have to learn that you don't patch the same partition as your old phone. It's not a difficult process, only mildly annoying that it's not the same as our old OnePlus phone. The OnePlus 11 being a newer device (early 2023) has adopted Google's latest partition layout for Android whereas the OnePlus 9 Pro came out the year before your Pixel 7 Pro. Seeing as repartitioning the OnePlus 9 Pro is too risky over OTA, if not impossible, it will likely never have the same partition layout as the Pixel 7 and 8 Pro with an init_boot partition.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Veid71:
oh my next question!, does it make a difference if i buy from AT&T vs the international version? do they make it harder to root? id like to upgrade through them because then its only a few bucks a month but not if it makes it impossible to root
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] GreaterLesser:
While it depends on the carrier tbh. I don't have AT&T so I can't speak directly for them. I recently moved from T-Mobile to Google Fi. I do know that some carriers will lock down the bootloaders completely making it difficult or impossible to root (i.e. Verizon). I had gotten my OP9P through T-Mobile and I couldn't unlock the bootloader without permission from them and had to own the phone for 2 months (There was later developed a way around this). It's completely carrier dependent so if you don't want to chance it, I generally suggest buying the unlocked international version like I did. Buying through 3rd party retailers, like Best Buy will still give you the unlocked International version as if you're buying directly from Google and Best Buy has financing options too.

TLDR: Yes, it makes a difference. I highly suggest buying from Google or 3rd-party retail like Best Buy over from Carriers.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
I think you mean a device from a specific carrier, they always used the same process otherwise. It is the same now as then, went nexus 5 to pixel 3, pixel 7, now pixel 8, but if your devices has been locked it sucks for you. Unlock, patch, flash. I will admit, what is easy to me might not be universally accepted as easy, feel free to ask.

Update 231203: added battery life screenshots

I've been playing with OOS 14 for 5 days. See https://xdaforums.com/t/updates-thread.4188149/post-89177541 for how I installed it.

I don't have a feel for battery life yet, because I've been making changes, playing with PIF (Magisk module), taking backups as I make more changes.

But here are my thoughts on OOS 14 OBT1 (KB2001) so far:

Minus​

General​

No DND for 1 hour and I use that a lot!

Had to delete and re-add face id.

Face unlock is erratic. It works really well for a period and then doesn't work at all. But after entering the password it starts working again. May NOT BE TRUE after clean install.

Lost the ability to rotate the screen from Android 13 where you tap on the icon that comes up in the lower RH corner.

Lock screen doesn't wake up (neither raise phone or double tap) after a while (an hour or so?) face down. Have to use power button to wake device.

Had one instance when, waking up in the morning, the phone was completely unresponsive and I had to boot into Bootloader mode then reboot. After this Google Wallet was missing (I had it set up previously) and installing it again from Play Store, opening it, and the cards I had previously set up were already there!

Apps​

BBS won't collect (display?) battery data.

Calendar Notification notifications don't show on the status bar (it's an older program!)

Magisk won't grant root permissions if fingerprint is used to authenticate. Ok if Magisk>Settings>User Authentication: off

USB​

Connecting to a USB drive doesn't pop up the option selection. You have to find the notification, tap on it and then select the option. A lot more cumbersome!

Despite having the Developer Options>Default USB configuration set to File transfer it always initially connects as Charging only.

Often have to connect the phone to PC over USB twice before it connects properly.

Plus​

Settings>Additional settings> Assistive ball is nifty!

Rebooting doesn't re-enable FP unlike oos 13.1

Very subjective, but it feels snappier than 13.1.

Face unlock is fast!

Battery life​

I'm finding that battery life is the same as what I get on oos 13.1. Note that I mainly do internet browsing and reading books, so I'm a fairly light user. Also I remove/disable many apps I don't use or need.

This is for OBT1:

Compare this with 13.1:

[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] rosval70:
I also installed the beta version and it shows KB2003_14.0.0.81(EX01) as the version.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Are you sure it doesn't say KB2001_...?

Because this open beta is an Indian (KB2001) rom.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] rosval70:
I am very sure. I was also surprised. And I locked the bootloader without problems.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Very weird!
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] albain85:
My current version is stock kb2003 13.1 no root, can I just install kb2001 14.0 from the oxygen updater?
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
You can try. Let me know if that works for you.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] albain85:
Can it brick the phone? If it's not I will try
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
No, it shouldn't brick your phone. Though might not install because you're on EU version.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] albain85:
Verify failed
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Right!

That's why I installed it using TWRP. See the link in the OP.
[OnePlus 8T Guides, News, & Discussion] BillGoss:
Updated OP with battery usage screenshot.

Can't enter Fastboot Mode​

I'm getting this issue with the latest android 14 update worked fine on earlier versions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] rodo1204:
Hello, I have a Note10+ from a Mexican carrier, which comes with its own specific firmware. Whenever I insert a SIM card from a different carrier, my phone gets blocked, displaying a 'network locked' message along with a padlock icon. To resolve this, I flashed the free firmware from Spain (PHE version). However, now it prompts me for a network code. Interestingly, the service provider info shows "AUT" instead of "PHE", and the original carrier's CSC (TCE) still appears. Could someone advise on what I might be doing wrong? :(

Additionally, I'm considering using Key-tool to unlock my phone, but I'm unsure whether I should reflash it with the carrier's firmware before unlocking, or if I can proceed with the current unbranded firmware. Any suggestions?

thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] papapacho:
CSC is not the same that carrier lock. Your phone is not free, and changing the firmware with other one is not gonna change that.

My advice: install the original firmware, and then, if you need it, unlock carrier. Then you'll can change he firmware to another one.
[OnePlus 11] itz_me_aziz:
Am i able to use 2 physical sim and E-Sim at the same time?I didnt try it yet but if anyone tried please let me know.

Currently Im using oneplus 11 china variant with Indian firmware..

Thank you in Advance...
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
No. The process of turning on esim turns off sim slot 2.
[OnePlus 11] itz_me_aziz:
Am i able to disable e-sim and active the sim slot 2 and do it vice versa without completely removing any physical sim or e-sim?
[OnePlus 11] zSyntex:
It's probably better (and safer) to remove the SIM2 to use the eSIM in order to not have compatibility problem.
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
The question is use 3 sim cards at the same time.
[OnePlus 11] keaheng:
You can add as many sims as you want, but only 2 sims are able to use at the same time.
[OnePlus 11] zSyntex:
We've already said that it's not possible, and @itz_me_aziz ask another question after this one
[OnePlus 11] itz_me_aziz:
U didn't get my question .. i said to use 2 sim at the same time by "disabling" the third one. You got it @MrSteelX its "disabling"
[OnePlus 11] itz_me_aziz:
Thank you @keaheng
[OnePlus 11] itz_me_aziz:
Thank you for your help @zSyntex

Hi, please send a link with the magisk module that fixes fast charging, I really want to know if it works. Also do banking apps work on android 13? It's was quite a challenge for me to run some of them and I heard that it's harder to hide root on android 13.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wolfenzi:
Hello,

I want play some pokemons on my HD, so I am seaching for emulator... But I think I tried them all :(

1.) Pocket gba emulator :

perfectly fast with GBA, but dont have software dpad, so nonplayable

2.) pocketgnuboy:

Perfect software dpad, cant open GBA but GB and GBC works. BUT!!! it laggs like hell ever in GB. non playable, still waiting ...

3.) morphgear

Nice interface, it says it got a virtualpad, but everytime I try to open a file (GB,GBC or GBA) it says :

"MorphGear was unable to open the file. Most often this is due to insufficient memory. The console will now be displayed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] broffy:
hi i think i can help

hi i had morph gear it needs like plug in am i cant remeber where i got them from but i can look and send u the link i had that same problem but when i got the plug ins the screen was really small so i forgot about it u can go on youtube and see how it works mate :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wolfenzi:
I tried it again and it worked. Strange :) . Now I can run GB and GBA. When I try GBC, it still got error.

by the way, about your problem = small screen :

You can set your screen to be 150%

And you can make your own virtual pad with big keys too ;) Dont use that default tiny crap.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bluetrix:
I also had the problem with the Memory. You had to install (and register if you want) the plugins for Morphgear (GB,GBA,GBC,NES....)

The "MorphModules" costs about 19 $.

MorphGear is great! It works fine with gb/gbc roms. The only thing I miss is a DPad in Lanscape Mode because the screen is bigger in Landscape. (and I can use the volume button better)

You can't have your cake and eat it...

BluetriX
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wolfenzi:
But I have all modules I think... and modul for gb and gbc is the same one i think... I dont have idea why it doesnt work

edit: now everything works :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] edwinlinkt:
Morphgear Virtual Pad VGA Skin

Here is a VGA virtual pad skin for Morphgear. :)

Just extract the 2 files to Morphgear's "Skins" folder.

Then go to VGBA settings and choose "Ed Virtual Pad" under Skin.

For "Start" & "Select", you need to map them to the hardware buttons (Volume up & down).
[Android Head-Units] alexr54:
I figured out how to change the boot up logo. Works great.

I just can't figure out how to change the boot up animation.

Its running on Android 12 (snowcone). I have scoured the web with no luck.

There is no media folder.

I don't have root access to see where the bootanimation.zip file is actually located to simply swap it out.

Although in the factory options there is a way to change the boot animation, there is just no documentation explaining how.

I have tried creating a media folder in the USB drive (FAT32), placing a bootanimation.zip there with no luck. Tried the same with the root folder in the USB drive. Tried putting it in the CAR_LOGO folder, where logo images are located did nothing for the animation as well. When selecting ext, nothing loads.

Im stumped.

Does anyone know how i can do this?
[Magisk] ElmondII:
The latest release of magisk https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases seems to only offer an apk download rather than a zip download.

Tbh flashing zip from twrp, wait few seconds, reboot, device is rooted.. was much easier than whatever this https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html is supposed to be.

Not that i'm not thankful for magisk, i am! But why? why no more zip flashing?

XDA even has an article on this https://www.xda-developers.com/install-magisk-manager-without-separate-zip/

Never mind, the anser was right there...

Custom Recovery​

Installing using custom recoveries is only possible if your device has boot ramdisk. Installing Magisk through custom recoveries on modern devices is no longer recommended. If you face any issues, please use the Patch Image method.

Download the Magisk APK

Rename the .apk file extension to .zip, for example: Magisk-v24.0.apk → Magisk-v24.0.zip. If you have trouble renaming the file extension (like on Windows), use a file manager on Android or the one included in the custom recovery to rename the file.

Flash the zip just like any other ordinary flashable zip.

Reboot and check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK.

Launch the Magisk app; it will show a dialog asking for reinstallation. Do the reinstallation directly within the app and reboot (if you are using MTK devices that lock the boot partition after boot, please patch the boot image and flash it by custom recovery or fastboot).

Hello, I relocked the bootloader using "fastboot oem lock" and still have "Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes".

Please note that similarly to "fastboot oem unlock", this WILL initiate a full data wipe.

[About XDA developers] DSF:
"Development and Hacking" forum grown and the topics are kinda mixed up.. eg: ROM development tools mixed with Themes, "ported/hacked" Applications, user-made apps, etc etc.

I think that this area should be divised. It's hard to seek a topic. Maybe one is interested in ROM tools (eg: NBHextract, XIP port, dumprom, etc,etc), maybe someone in ported applications (omnia touchwizz interface, asus glide, xperia panels, xperia camera, htc album, etc), maybe others in development resoruces.. and maybe others in applications made by xda-developers.

So, one sugestion is to split create one new category Development and Hacking wich contains the following sub-forums:

- ROM Development Tools

- Homescreen Plugins (Manilla, TouchWizz, Asus Glide, BatteryMetter, etc)

- Ported Applications

- xda-dev Applications

- xda-dev Games

- Applications Hacking (?)

- Development Resources & Tips & Tricks

The name of the forums may not be the same.. also, other sub-forums may be added.. This is just a suggestion. This forum really contains valuable information but it must be more organized.

Regards
[About XDA developers] joel2009:
i would have to disagree myself. i think the section is fine the way it is (all the question threads removed :) ) If you know what you are after then you just need to search. I think splitting things up willo nly result in more confusion on the common user's part (not knowing where top ost with so many options) and further more this is a development website, not a cache of programs like a freeware website. Whats being developed at the moment will be on top, everything else will fade out behind but still accesible if you know what you are looking for.
[About XDA developers] speed_pour:
First, sorry if the original version of this comes off the wrong way, I just noticed it might read a little snotty...especially since I started typing it before joel2009's post, but it as posted up later it reads like I'm arguing.

The main problem I think is that there's so much traffic in that single spot that the list of threads marked "Today" stretches into the 5th page sometimes. I'm pretty sure a lot more gets lost and many good threads aren't seen at all. It's made worse by there being a couple of different forums listed under specific models of phone which are obviously resources for many others. Examples include:

Kaiser software, which has a lot of postings that apply to several other phones.

Raphael Software/Themes Apps and Software (Diamond), both of these basically cover the same thing. I've seen a number of people make requests or ask questions that are already resolved in the other thread.

The main D&H forum, even if you ignore the little groupings the OP had (i.e. xda releases vs. ported apps), is home to at least 3 very separate postings/releases; ROM Tools, Phone Apps, and Skins/Themes. For a "simple" user who's just trying to watch for themes and skins this is a lot of unnecessary noise. Imagine a Raphael or Diamond owner looking for applications, there's at least 4 groups to watch and 3 of them are kept under specific phones. A new diamond owner won't realize all the stuff they are missing. I think that's more confusing to new users.

My suggestion, to be taken worth it's digital equivalence to a grain of salt, is to break it up into ROM Tools, Apps (both ported and user-developed), Themes & Skins. I would also put them into a major category that would be consequently named Development and Hacking, and probably move the Networking and Upgrading groups over there as well.

I'd personally also like to see a single forum just dedicated to programming. It's pretty obvious that there's a good cross-section of members who are also programmers, some of which have demonstrated more talent than most other sites can boast. There's a lot of people trying to write programs but are rooting around a lot of other forums which aren't too suited to answer their questions. The other thing is that it might give more inspiration for some of the people who are good at UI and some people who are good with system/functional programming to talk to each other or even work together on apps. Many others have pointed it out, for a site to have 'developers' in the title, it's really strange that there's not even a little conversation about one of the main forms of development.
[About XDA developers] DSF:
joel2009 information must be organized..

some things are contradictory in your post. you say "I think splitting things up willo nly result in more confusion on the common user's part" and "this is a development website". If it's a development website than the development area must be extended, not limited to one sub-forum that contains different kind of stuff.

Also, maybe some of us want to learn from other developers experience.. (see "Development Resources & Tips & Tricks" sub-forum)..

The way how it's in this moment create confusion not only for the developer but also for the regular users. Maybe some developers are interested only on ROM tools. Maybe some users are looking just ROM tools. It will be hard for all of us because this section of the site is constantly growing and contain all kind of stuff (themes, apps, tools, etc).

Organizing the information into sub-forums is A MUST.

+ you can add a new subforum for "Ideas for application" where people can post ideas for developers.

If detailed descriptions are used for each sub-forum there will be less to none confusion rate (additionally someone can write about these sections so everybody will understand..).
