[Guide]Flashing View 10 Pixel Experience to Honor Note 10

Hi,
Since I've been requested by other forumers; I will list down on how I managed to flash Pixel Experience ROM from Honor View 10 to our Note 10.
Disclaimer: I am not dev, and I don't own or developed the steps; just compiling as steps by steps to other forumers so that they can enjoy their note 10 in Pixel Experience alike
I've tested the Pixel Experience, a part from having some launcher draw slight lag - So far everything has been good and notifications come on time + the battery life is almost identical to EMUI itself.
Here is how I start:
1:UNLOCK Bootloader (Steps 1 & 2 are essentials so you can't skip it) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-10/how-to/bootloader-unlock-root-tutorial-huawei-t3855643
You have to unlock bootloader and the only way as mentioned, will be by paying the service. I've got my code there and so far it's been pretty legit.
Skip step 3 as you are changing the ROM. Once flash new ROM, root will disappear so you may skip it.
2. Download Pixel Experience ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3867008
Direct Link: https://download.pixelexperience.org/berkeley/
It is important to you to download this TWRP as well: https://storage.codebucket.de/public...0-berkeley.img (DO NOT FLASH IT YET)
2. Boot into the default EMUI after you have done unlocked. You should notice all your data is missing and EMUI requesting you to resetup your phone. I skipped it and so far all's been good. Restart the phone. Hold Volume Up + Power Button until you boot into TWRP recovery screen.
3. Format your data using advanced wipe - Cache, Dalvik/Cache, Data and System.
4. Once done, navigate back to Install and select Pixel Experience and flash it. I do not encounter any trouble so far, no errors and etc. (You should still have it under your download folder as you do not flash your internal storage).
5. Wipe Cache
6. Reboot into your phone and viola you get Pixel Experience.
7. This may be skipped if you do not wish to root your phone as your phone is working correctly. If you are using previous TWRP, you will stuck at the splash screen and it will not boot into the TWRP.
Follow this step if you want to flash Magisk.
Enable back USB debugging > adb fastboot bootloader
8. Flash the TWRP again by using fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-3.2.2-0-berkeley.img. Reboot and hold Volume Up + Power button again. Viola, you have a working TWRP now.
Please be advised that your internal storage, might be like mine in which you will not able to flash any ZIP due to encrypted folder. Your folder will appear as some random characters/letters and you can't see your zip files. My workaround is to add-in a MicroSD and flash Magisk.zip through the MicroSD.
If you have questions, feel free to ask. I will try my best to help out. As said, I am not a developer - I am just compiling the guide for other forumers. Credit goes back to the thread owners: 7gismo, Codebucket and other developers whom involved with the projects. Kudos and peace out.

I had little more complex problem.
I was rooted with magisk in default emui ROM 8.2.0.132.
So 1st Step: Download 8.2.0.132_Full_OTA.zip & using Huawei Extractor, extract recovery & ramdisk
2nd Step: Unroot via Magisk Manager
3rd Step: Overwrite TWRP with official recovery & overwrite boot/ramdisk with extracted ramdisk
4th Step: reboot to recovery & factory reset. then reboot to system
5th Step: again TWRP
Rest are the same as you.

There was a problem in TWRP. Usb device is not recognized in windows 10 in recovery mode. I had to change from my new pc (windows 10) to old pc(windows 7). Don't know what's the problem?

how many antutu score pixel rom

Hi. I have not tested Google pay due to my country lack of it. So far fingerprint works, facr unlock does work but it is unlike original emui where it'll auto unlock the phone - you still need to slide to unlock after it recognise your face. So far apart from volte in which the developer has mentioned. I have not received any error or tested something which not work.
Will update if I encounter any bug or issues.

My previous phone was Nexus 6P. I always felt, there are lacking of some tiny features in barebone Android which maybe not so important to others. But to enable these features I have to use Xposed+Magisk+modules
1. network speed at status bar
2. When a call connected, short vibration alert
3. Applock with fingerprint natively
4. Battery Percentage within battery icon
5. Always on display automatically off within pocket
6. Themes
All are present in EMUI 8.2
That's why, I have returned from Pixel Experience ROM to EMUI in my Honor Note 10.
But the aggressive battery & ram management leads to unusable notification feature. Real time notification is totally absent if the app is not running in multitasking bar. Google location history is not working due to China EMUI ROM. But this notification failure is totally unacceptable, again I am planning to change to other custom ROM

Your TWRP link leads to a passworded login page. Do you have a direct link?
Right now I have TWRP 3.2.1 and am stuck with the AOSP rom bug. Hoping your 3.2.2 can fix it and I don't need to go through full erecoveery just to re-root and install roms.

I am not sure what pictures do you want as the ROM is exactly same as the one shown on Honor View 10:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3867008
Or you just want a confirmation that this ROM works on RVL-AL09?
If that's the case I can provide that. Else the entire ROM experience is the exact same as Pixel Experience for Honor View 10

I meant desktop, icons, settings.. Overall the look of this ROM.. But checked.. Now
So can I install it now? All 100% works? G pay Google history works? All functions works?

I am not sure Gpay works or not cause I am not using GooglePay as said. All functions so far work so well except for LTE which will not. I haven't get any error and etc, and yet to encounter an app that doesn't work.
Sorry cause Android pay isn't too popular here in my country, we usually use wechat pay, alipay and other medium

What about camera functions? Can still huawei stock camera app be used? Otherwise all its features are gone...

Hi, good thing about this ROM is the camera app included is Huawei Stock Camera. Not Gcam. Gcam doesn't work very well with Kirin yet; even the one I've tried still give some error and no HDR+

Hi, I successfully flashed based on your instructions. Everything works perfectly except Netflix is not working properly. First I don't see it in play store, then I downloaded the all and installed. Now when I play videos there is only sound with black screen. Are you experiencing this issue?
Thanks.

Have you tried to flash the latest version? There's an update which fixed my Always Listen to Song as well.

Don't be lazy...
Google pay working?
Google maps history works?
Google assistance works?
Stock huawei camera works?
Is it based on pie 9?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can only answer you based on this what I experience - I am not sure why photos are required though if you really want Pixel Experience because it is exactly same as the one in Honor View 10. Even the update for the newest Pixel Experience works and now my Always listen to Song works.
Google pay working? Answered
Google maps history works? It works for me. And so far no crash and etc when I am using Google Map/Waze. So all good
Google assistance works? Yes, but if the screen is locked, then it is not working. Not sure if there's changes cause my Pixel XL also doesn't work nowadays if I locked my phone.
Stock huawei camera works? Yes. The camera is based on Huawei default camera app as Gcam is not working and hence not installed in the Pixel Experience ROM
Is it based on pie 9? It is. The Pixel Experience forum has this note.
BTW, those questions have been answered in this thread and another forum (Honor View 10 Pixel Experience). If you are really into Pixel Experience, go ahead and flash it. You can revert back afterall; but I do notice that the lag of the Pixel Launcher still persists hence I have to use Lawnchair launcher (Which fixed the issue; no idea why).

Hi, thanks for you instructions. I did flash the latest version. Everything works fine except netflix showing a black screen with only audio when play movies. I did some google and seems like it is related to root/unlocked bootloader and I am not rooted. Do you use netflix? If so does it work for you?

Sorry but unfortunately I don't use Netflix on my phone. But I've seen a lot of different complaint where they fixed the issue by resetting the certificate. Google Netflix black screen Google pixel and there are tons of same complaint.

Yes I do follow the China forum but then again the reasons why I moved away from emui:
- notification issue (super aggressive killed all apps even I locked it and set full manual permission)
- the default launcher has been removed and only by removing the default launcher through adb then only it is able to change.
- ok Google unable to be used and still hivoice as default
- cause it is not global room, Google feed is not able to be swiped
- prefer stock Android as minimalist
- Samsung health not working
I kinda miss Huawei functions though, some of them are really useful in comparison to pixel experience

Don't think so as you have to remember that this isn't a global rom, but China only. If you notice and compare, the global rom has slight different and Google integration.
But I've tested the notifications issue on my emui 9. Same thing happened cause of the aggressive battery saver

Hi, does desktop mode still works with pixel experience and is the aspect ratio correct too, cause Note 10 has 1080 x 2220 and View 10- 1080 x 2160 resolution? Thanks!

Haven't try desktop mode yet, but my assumption that it will not work as the integration is done by EMUI.

How is the battery life after using this rom?

It's less long lasting than original ROM, but this is to be expected because the notifications work well and it doesn't aggressively kills the background apps as in the orignal ROM.
Overall, I still able to:
Uncharge at 1.30 am and use it up to 8.30 pm with 20 - 30% battery life. It's quite a moderate use - like day to day routine - whatsapp, facebook, some reading, youtube, and etc

About 4 - 5 hours. Don't think it can last as long as the original ROM.

[XT1900-7] No media audio and stuttering video after LineageOS install

Yesterday, I tried to install LineageOS 15.1-nightly, but missed the need for the copy-partion.zip, resulting in an unresponsive phone. With support by people in the LOS IRC channel, I managed to blankflash the phone and redo the install, this time with copy-partition.zip. I decided against rooting or installing GApps, and the phone booted perfectly fine.
Today, after installing some apps, I noticed that media audio will not play (Notifications and ringtones work, tho.) and video playback is extremely sluggish/stuttering, no matter whether it's youtube or a video I recorded myself.
While I didn't find anything similar for the X4, I found threads with similar issues for other phones that pointed towards bad/wrong firmware.
Could this be a lingering results from the blankflash?
If so, how to best fix it? Is there a way to reflash with stock firmware? (I looked at threads on this, but was overwhelmed with the variety of fimware versions and unsure which would be the correct one for my phone.)
As you can probably tell, I'm not terribly well-versed in this, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, i am in the same situation like you right now. No Sound and very low FPS at Sound/Video playback.
First i installed LineageOS15.1 without the copy-partitions.zip.
After a reboot, my device was bricked but with the blankflash.zip i was able to repair my Motox4 and boot into twrp-recovery.
In TWRP I successfully installed the copy-partitions.zip and LineageOS15.1.
LineageOS seems to work really nice EXCEPT of Sound/Video playback. No Sound and very low FPS (Youtube Videos in Stock browser, Recorded Videos, etc.)
I Also tried different LineageOS15.1 and 16.0 versions including the newest LineageOS16.0 (lineage-16.0-20190312-nightly-payton-signed.zip) but the issue still exists.
Maybe someone has a clue what we could try to do Thank you

Buggy Phone Buddies!!! :highfive:

Exact same probleme here.
Moto x4 paython, XT1900-7.
blankflash was needed since the lineageos wiki did not mention the copy-partitions.zip.
Symptoms are: No sound (and very slow progressbar), low FPS for videos.
Right now my phone is garbage.

OK, I have it working now.
The solution was to install a stock android version or android one (I used android one).
After installing stock android like this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348
flash lineageos (using copy-partitions.zip again!).

Oh, cool, I will try that!
Which version of the x4 do you have? Also the -7? If so which firmware did you use? (Looking through the dozen pretty cryptic links in that stock firmware page has me worried about picking the wrong one.)

I don't think that failure of flashing copy-partitions has that result. I haven't flashed copy partitions since returning to stock and applying ROMs after that... and my flashes all come out fine. Perhaps something else is happening. But yes, when in question, always flash back to stock. Then try again.

Ok, Update:
Today I flashed the Stock Rom and tested a random youtube video in chrome: Video playback and Audio worked fine.
I then flashed the current Lineage 16 nightly and tested it again: Same problem. I tried a youtube video, a downloaded mp4 video and a downloaded flac audio file, they all had no audio and the videos were very slow and stuttery. Youtube ****ery happened both in the default browser (I'm guessing Chrome or something?) and a current Firefox Klar I installed.
Additional weirdness: I also tried youtube playback on Torbrowser, where I think it falls back on HTML5 video or something, AND THERE IT WORKS!!!
Audio plays and Video playback is nice and smooth.
I ... don't get it.
Help?!?

I noticed the same thing yesterday with my xt1900-1. Video playback with chrome gas black lines and video appears to stutter. I tried the default browser and it appeared to be better. I'm currently using the 6/12nightly of lineage

Some more testing also showed additional wonkiness: Audio also doesn't work when using making a call.
Which ... makes it a but of a dealbreaker, tbh. :/

I had the same problem after installing LOS16.
New X4 1900-7 (Stock ROM) as described on the Lineage website installed the LOS16
(without "copy-partitions-payton.zip").
After booting, the smartphone was dead
Then as described here the smartphone repaired.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77847374&postcount=44
Then install the "copy-partitions-payton.zip" and install LOS16.
After the boot was no sound when calling or playing videos.
The videos were also played very stuttering.
I then installed the Stock ROM as described here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348
I used Stock Rom from here:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/payton/official/
Stock ROM: XT1900-7_PAYTON_RETEU_DS_9.0_PPWS29.69-37-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I did not use the flash-all.sh. I do everything step by step.
After the start of the Stock ROM OS, I checked call and videos.
The function was correct.
Then I reinstalled LOS16.
I proceed exactly as described here. (GAPS installation skipped).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWOBa88eJRs
Now the sound works in calls and videoas or MP3 files.
The smartphone works correctly so far,
only FM radio app does not work.
I have not found a solution yet.

Thank you for the separate this from the other pie roms.
I will flash it after I arrive home.
Thank you all for the hard work!
Sent from my kagura using XDA Labs

I'm loving the fact Omnipie is official. I will be flashing this right now. Thank you so much.

Finally flashed! been using it for less than an hour, i can say that its definitely good for daily use. Camera seems better and hasnt crashed yet (like it use to), mic actually picks up audio properly, brightness slider is finally proportional to the brightness level, and its pie
however, the stereo speaker seems to muffle at high volumes (especially with the ringtones and less with youtube, but still a little prevelent), app opening times seem a little longer than 8.1, and 120HZ still doesnt work
im also curious why the linked odm isnt the latest one (im pretty sure the latest is 1st march not feb)
anyways, thanks dev! (may be editing this thread after more use for battery etc)

Ah, your correct it does say 8.1 my bad

opps

I saw this version from delta updater (using 8.1 omni) and immediately downloaded flashed oem for pie and downloaded omni 9 but it stucked new omni animated logo. Waited like 10 minutes but nothing happened then rebooted phone but same thing happened. Should i wait more or something went wrong?

Im here with OmniROM freshly flashed trough Open Delta.
I have some problems. First boot never ends, BUT restart worked for me but I have another problem.
Now I need 10 min to unlock the phone when Im lucky.
I unlock with the code and then its instantly relock and it say I cant use fingerprint for first unlock, so I use code again and not work again and still can't use fingerprint.
I do this A LOT OF TIME before I can use my phone. Sometimes it helps sometimes not if I not unlock my phone but use corner dial icon first and then if its ask for code i use it and then I got SystemUI crash error again and again and again.
As I said I try to repeat this methods for like 10 min after every restart. I tried to delete some maybe not compatible apps with this new update but still nothing. Now I will remove some Magisk modules. I will write again.

you need to do a full wipe before upgrading to p

Just as @oshmoun said; before flashing new ROMs, it's imperative to do full wipe (if you don't want to lose all your data, then do a full backup in TWRP), as flashing without full wiping can cause TONS of problems. Don't be lazy and follow the instructions properly.

I used the same rom before but the last update. I updated through OpenDelta.

Hello !
It's cool to see our XZ is alive !
I have some problems with this rom after a full wipe and update to oem V6 :
- no sounds during calls, no mic, no earphone, no sounds on speaker
- Magisk 18.1 not working
- With official camera app, while using the flash, only the autofocus led is lit, the second and much powerful led is never triggered resulting on dark shots
For now that's all
Thx

Performance is somewhat distressed and the camera does not work for the sound is not working after restarting the device is improving

you cant do that. its pretty misleading having it available on that opendelta ota thingy. you have to follow the instructions in this thread

Flashed data, cache and dalvik, factory reset. And installed latest nightly with gapps and magisk 18.1.
Only reason I did it this way is because I was on a unofficial build on Omni. Everything is working as it should. Very snappy and no lag. Still have to see how the ROM handles after it's settled for a couple day, but right off the bat it's amazing. Thank you very much Dev, and happy to see you back on XDA.

Why this ROM showed up as an update then?
I just don't understand it.
Nevermind this is my main and only phone and I work 4 days straight before I can use my PC so I need to use this ROM buggy for me. :/

You need a PC to flash this. Follow all steps in order and it'll work. Always remember, unless you have a messaging app that backups texts, you will lose them flashing a cfw. Always always backup anything you don't want to lose.
---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------
I've had a reoccurring issue on the unofficial and official builds so far. I do not have the option to use my phone when calling unless speaker phone or a Bluetooth headset. I cannot put the phone to my head and use normally. Is there any kind of option to fix this nuisance. Any feedback is truly appreciated

Every 9.0 ROM I ever flash, I always seem to have the same problem. Whether its dirty flashing, or starting with flashtool, to CMD, and then to TWRP, the same problem seems to happen. After the ROM has settled, audio quality through calls becomes a huge problem. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it has been a persistent bug, next chance I get for the next nightly ill send a logcat, kinda cant not since back on stock. I need good call quality for work lol. Either way, thank you for bringing OMNI to 9.0 official

anyone having problems with video playback? videos dont play on instagram, youtube or snapchat. using magisk 18.1 and latest omni 9 rom
edit: nvm, found out that the Google camera fix module for magisk was the problem

[Discussion] Resurrection Remix 7 for Hammerhead (Android 9 Pie)

Hello everyone. I am opening this thread for the sake of convenience of us users of this ROM so that we stop hijacking the Oreo version thread and have a "clean" place where we can discuss about our experience with this great ROM. So I suggest anything regarding this ROM to be posted here!
You can find the official builds here: https://get.resurrectionremix.com/?dir=hammerhead
DISCLAIMER: I am by no means a developer or maintainer of this ROM, so this cannot be considered an official support thread, just conversation, plain and simple! Moderators can close this thread as soon as an official support thread opens.
Cheers!

I just installed the rom,came from stock. My first impressions are:
-It took 2 reboots to get the camera working. Installed google camera app since the integrated one doesnt show up on app drawer(you can access it from lockscreen though) and it seems to work kinda bad(picture goes black on it sometimes).
-It runs a bit hotter than stock rom. It might be just me though,I have opened the phone a few times to fix the power button which seems to get stuck for me once in a while.
-The default DPI doesn't seem right,everything looks a little bit smaller than it does on stock rom. There is an option to change it though, I set mine to 380 and it looks about right.
I haven't found any other issues yet.
Another note,I think the rom fixed my notification led lol. It didn't work for me on stock rom for some reason.
Pretty good rom overall,I haven't faced any stability issues yet.
edit: Is there any way to lower the resolution?

I upgraded from RR's Oreo build. Before flashing I repartitioned the phone using the method described here and the even more detailed instructions posted by douguluskaien on page 12 of that thread. The flash went very smoothly and although the phone initially ran hot it cooled back to normal after a few hours of what was probably background processing. With the 1.5G system partition I was able to install the micro version of GAPPS. I've had that experience after flashing new ROMs on other phones as well. I also discovered the bundled camera doesn't work and installed Google Camera. After starting up Google Camera, the original camera worked also. I tried connecting bluetooth headphones, and even though I could pair the headset I couldn't get the phone to send audio - it just kept playing through the phone speaker. I also found the default font size a little small, but changing it to Large in the Font Size menu got it back to what seems like normal.
I have one major issue which I realize is not directly related to the ROM. A custom version of TWRP is required to support the non-standard partitions, and that version is based on TWRP 3.2.3 and doesn't support device encryption. Does anyone know if an updated TWRP will be available that will allow me to encrypt the phone and still do recovery-related stuff?
In summary, this is impressively well along for a build that's only been live for a couple of weeks. This isn't my daily driver so I don't need absolute stability, so this is plenty for me for now. I just won't leave the house with it until I can encrypt.

I've been using this ROM for about a month now as a daily driver, so here's my feedback:
ROM is very nice and smooth and feature rich (as expected for RR). I installed it with Opengapps nano, rooted with Magisk. It works very well with the Pixel launcher I grabbed from here.
Some drawbacks I noticed:
Battery life is rather bad. I get 1h30m SOT at best with very mild usage (mostly site browsing and a little bit of social apps and YT video watching) . Then again I am still using the 5yr old battery that came with the phone...
The phone runs very hot (too hot to hold!) after using it for some time. It cools down rather fast if you let it be for a while, though.
Sometimes the camera is crashing (the notorious "can't connect to camera" error). usually a reboot fixes this.
Sometimes it takes a while for the device to wake up after pressing the power button.
I got some soft reboots under device heavy load. Mostly I get them when using the Rocket player music app, and it tries to load a large music folder. Phone freezes, then soft reboots.
SElinux is set to permissive and the build is signed with test keys. Maybe the first thing is caused by the latter, I don't know really....
Overall, it is a good ROM with room for improvement. However, I am concerned about its maintenance status. No update since May 14, so I keep my fingers crossed.

Do you know about change log??
What features added?
I want to update it tonight

As I state at the first post, I am not a developer, neither I have any involvement in this project and the people behind it. So I can't provide any support apart from my experience as a user.

I didn't flash this build so I don't know if it works or not. I have switched to a different ROM. However, could you elaborate? Do you come from another ROM? Did you dirty flash? Is your device repartitioned? Usually error 7 in TWRP means there's not enough system space...

I do not see any changelog file on the download page. Unfortunately with no official support thread, there are no official answers as well...

I flashed this build this morning by dirty way
Unfortunately Bluetooth is not working
It can find the other devices but can not connect to them
1- How can I fix it?
2-How can I downgrade to previous build?

Thanks for the idea, I had just repartitioned, so I had format my entire phone, (before that i had taken the backup ), and I had successfully installed the rom, I got an strange issue of WIFI connectivity, as I am not able to connect to my wifi which is having Hidden SSID, but i am successfully connected with the hotspot from my another primary phone. i haven't tested the bluetooth yet.

I dirty flashed the new build this morning. Haven't tried bluetooth or camera yet, but Wifi is working fine. As usual, the phone heated up for about a half hour after the flash and then the temp dropped and stabilized. Battery life is not great, like the May build, and there is often a long delay responding to the power button, especially shortly after power-up, but the build seems pretty solid.

Casting isn't finding anything to cast to in the most recent build. Camera worked fine.

New build available (Aug 4) as seen at ROM's dl page.

Bluetooth pairing now working for me on last release

Hi installed this ROM in clean maner but i got intermitent issue with sim card. Not sure if it is only sim issue or reboot but phone ask my pin code.

Looks like @voidz777 is the maintainer for RR Pie as well:

okay so to fix this you will have to repartition your system.
This thread will help you. https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...ment/repartition-nexus-5-repartition-t3844395
Repartitioning is the fix to error 70 while flashing gapps as well as error 7.

New build (Sep 16) available! Link in OP.

Thank you for the tip, I followed the thread and was able to install RR 7 without any trouble. This might not be the right place to ask, but would you have any info on how to install SuperSU on RR 7, or is there perhaps another root method that we must use? Thanks in advance, I can't seem to find information on it anywhere and rather than continuing to bang my head against the wall I thought I'd ask.

Just ordered razer phone 2 looking for custom os instructions.

So from what i gathered TWRP doesnt work yet on the razer phone 2 and lineage os doesnt have a build for this phone yet i gotta ask what is available for modding razer and what is the step by step to make that happen. i seen some instructions but other than root there isnt much to do.

TWRP works just fine on this device. It's installed when you fastboot flash arter97 kernel and it works perfect. He just updated it to r10. Good luck!!
Edit: as far as ROMs look around in this forum you'll find a couple of different ones in the same section as arter97 :good:

which one do you suggest? i dont see much of a selection.

Right now there really aren't any, although there are a few in development, such as AOSP. I think the initial high price, specialized hardware & relative unpopularity has not helped attract any serious development.
I've noticed that ROM development has decreased significantly in the last few years. I remember the days of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus & the HTC Evo 4G where it seemed as if there was a new ROM released every week. I think its because (a) recent Android operating systems are offering greater customization out of the box, & (b) with the new A/B partitioning scheme, it makes ROM development more difficult.

Cancel your order. Get your money back. This phone while it is awesome at gaming and has a great screen. The OS is ****ty to say the least. I have had more issues with it freezing up. Not wanting to download apps from the play store. Not allowing me to install apps that I have already downloaded on my device. Now it's showing up as the Asus Rog II. This phone is the biggest heaviest piece of **** I've ever had. I promise you if everyone knew the issues this phone has you couldn't give it away free.

Mine showed as in rog 2 the last time I reloaded the OS. It's because it searches for "phone 2" and randomly guesses. No biggie, just fix it in the settings. No issues here from playstore, if you do it's common on every Android phone and fixable by clearing the data from the app. Maybe you should reflash the stock firmware? I don't see why you would call this phone ****ty. It's basically running AOSP stock except some theming from Razer. I fixed some freezing issues by reseating the Sim and SD card that I have. This thing rocks, just saying.

I've cleared the play stores cache, data, and dalvic in every method imaginable. Even google play services. I've restored backups, flashed stock .imgs, and flashed the stock odex Ron and the deodexed rom. It doesn't start failing to install play store apps till after I initially install most the apps I normally use then a while later when I think of one I forgot I'll go and try to install. That's when it starts messing up. If I watch a video threw some websites built in player on the webpage I'm viewing... about 15 to 20 seconds into the video everything but sound freezes. And will not correct itself. I have to hold the power button till it reboots. Only videos I can watch without issue is from the YouTube app. It's ridiculous. I've unlocked, rooted, and crack flashed tons of roms on all of my pixel and Nexus devices without any issue besides the random freeze. Which can be quickly fixed by toggling the screen on and off. This **** is ridiculous. So over this phone.

matt that might be just you i havent experienced any issues with this phone whatsoever.
"I think its because (a) recent Android operating systems are offering greater customization out of the box, & (b) with the new A/B partitioning scheme, it makes ROM development more difficult."
can you provide more info on this A/B partition? id love to see what customizable stuff i can do with this.

The freezing is due to a bug in Google Chrome. All you have to do to fix this issue is roll back the app version to 72 because version 76 doesn't work on our RP2.
Edit: uncheck auto update

Only freeze I had so far was with the infamous switch switch to the tele lens. Not a single other issue with software.

Other question, if you put the display at 120hz, and you scroll something, does it 'feel' like your finger sticks to text/icons?
I mean, is there no delay like you normally would have at 60hz?
On the Oneplus 7 Pro the 90hz is already a big improvement (less delay) but 120 should really be kickass... anyone?

Take this with a grain of salt, as I just got the RP2, but its the most responsive, "sticky" feeling Android phone I've used. 120hz is like night and day to me.
On a related note, Firefox Fenix with webrender enabled feels significantly more responsive than Chromium atm, as it seemingly renders the whole page instead of stuttering as you scroll like Chrome.

So are you on the global version? If so let it update to MR2 and fastboot flash boot arter97 r12 and you'll be just fine.
Which version are you running then to get stuck on boot logo?
Edit: if you want to stay on MR1 then flash arter97 r11

i tried updating to mr2 but says installation failed.
all i do is
faatboot flash boot kernal.img?

I just rooted MR2 to show you. It took me less than 5 minutes to do the whole process of fastboot flashing kernel booting straight into TWRP recovery which is included then installing magisk immediately rebooting into system and updated magisk. Done

My only question is, which version zip of magisk did you use in TWRP to flash? 20 or the latest beta? I'm rooted now with a modded boot.img that someone else used the canary/latest beta. Just don't want to screw myself and end up having to flash mr1 again then taking the update.
