Yep, can confirm, now dark mode has the black background back

Can someone confirm me whether the dpi issue Is fixed or not?

Dont want to sound rude, but is there a point for one plus updating the 3.5.x builds?Rather than updating MM i think they should work on Android N .

This is a community build, not final or the like. They can't have two teams working on a ROM?

Had a quick look at the survey and spotted this... please tell me they are not thinking about adding more crap into their OS?
Have you installed Clean Master? *
If so, which feature do you use the most?
Clean Junk
App Lock, protect your privacy
Battery saver, hibernate apps
Antivirus
Phone Boost
Notification Management
Uninstall, backup and move your apps
I don't use it
I really do not like where this is going.

Honestly? I don't think so. Waste of money.
If they're working on a MM build, i suppose it will take veeeery long time before we can see something based on Android 7.

I know but... Only if you don't mind pictures quality....

given the direction OOS is heading (w/ the community builds) I'd prefer to stay on CM, just hoping OP drops the OOS camera blobs like Carl Pei said they would so we can have equal quality photography on custom ROMs soon
sad since OOS 3.2.4 is pretty amazing as is.

They already have two teams working on ROMs. One for OOS and the other for H2OS. This is probably done by the H2OS team. If you don't like it, don't use it and stick with 3.2.4 since this is just a community build.

At some point though they will deprecate 3.2.x and 3.5.x will take over with all of the (possible) value added software we love like cleaner master!.
Very thankful we have a fantastic dev community here who will strip out whatever crap OP put in.

There's no indication that they'll do that. But...you always have the option to install another ROM instead. OR as you said, strip **** out you don't want. But take into account that they're a Chinese company, with a vast majority of their user base probably is in China, so they want to cater that user base. I don't mind the visual aspects of 3.5, but you're right that more bloat is bad.

PSA if anyone hasn't already tried, installing a Substratum theme causes the phone to get stuck at 1+ logo upon reboot

Hi!, you can open File Manager in TWRP and delete Substratum's APK and reboot phone

Please support Android Pie ( 9.0 SDK28 ).

I want update my device to Android Pie.
But Xposed Framework doesn't work.
Please support it for 9.0.
Thanks.
 @rovo89

It took over a year for Nougat to be supported... Don't hold your breath, and don't ask for an ETA.
If @rovo89 want to, and if it can be done, it'll be available eventually. Just don't go pestering him about it. It'll happen when it happens, not a second sooner.

Is there a thread or subforum that these Pie questions can accumulate in? I suspect this is going to keep popping up as more and more phones gain support for 9.0.
JD

The version for Oreo hasn't even left "beta" yet. Even if it stable enough, rovo hasn't updated it since january, I doubt he's going to jump into Pie without working on an stable version for Oreo first. I wish it was not this way but rovo seems very inactive lately

He was active three months bud, he built a test framework for emui 8 users on GitHub. Update from Oreo to pie isn't huge.

Time to pitch a tent in 8.1.0 land...I'm not going anywhere without my GravityBox and Exi.
I upgraded my Pixel 2 XL to 9.0 foolishly without doing my homework first on Xposed compatibility, but thankfully was able to flash the factory image back to 8.1.0 and restore a TWRP backup I had saved to my PC before unwittingly upgrading to 9.0. Phew.

Well, look at XDA's last activity. How he has abandoned any "stable" oreo version then? If he was minimal active he would release beta3 renamed as stable and done, if he thinks so. Otherwise he's either completely silent but working at it, or not working at it at all. And we know perfectly that when rovo's silent, he uses to come back months later with "I was very busy with job and I may start porting this now". It is respectable, I'm just pointing and that he has never been silent and suddently appear and "version for lollipop/marshmallow/nougat/oreo sudden release!", he always explained progress, and when he didn't there was no progress made, in his own words.

The latest update from Rovo was published January 29th 2018.

I genuinely feel for the guy having so many demands when he has an outside life.
But he just needs to open source the project and let the community keep on top of it. I know it's his baby, but still, there's such demand and he has every right to not be able to stay on top of it alone.

I'm been using exposed too since as long as I can remember. I've also donated 2 times so maybe everyone should pitch in to get back the motivation

Will there be xposed support for Android Pie @rovo89

Open sourcing an app like this is not a good idea. The whole trick is apps can't tell how it is hiding it. Making it open source removes that and apps would just update every time it did. So it would never work for long. This is why Super User never went open source either. With apps like that there is a huge risk. With the source code I could easily make a packages that could do what ever I want without you knowing or interacting. I, would just have to get you to flash it. And to be honest. That wouldn't be too hard with most of the users here.

Just assume that Xposed is dead, until @rovo89 proves otherwise. Because until he says so, it is a dead project.

OnePlus 6T Android Q beta thoughts

Hey guys! Just flashed the Android Q beta and have some thoughts:
First of all for some reason OnePlus removed navigation gestures, there isn't even the original OnePlus gestures. Common, that should have been easy to add.
Since OnePlus made the fingerprint work I assumed dash charging would work too, but this isn't the case.
I've seen people complain about not being heard on calls, but that works for me, the real problem is I can't send a text message, no matter what SMS app I use.
When fully powering off the phone it takes an absurd amount of time to shut down, it says "shutting down.." for a good 20 seconds.
Besides these issues everything works fine, I flashed TWRP and Magisk and will be trying this out, I hope they release some updates because as of now this isn't really usable as a daily driver.

Already a thread of Q here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/oneplus-6t-androidq-beta-release-links-t3928174

This isn't meant as a daily driver [emoji19] it's not a beta build, it's a Dev build. Buggy as hell, no features, just a first try.
The only bad thing OnePlus did is releasing it to all because most users are to stupid to understand.

This needs to be in bold with a size font of like 50.
For those of you in here complaining, that are too damn lazy to read, put some effort into reading this. Quoted from the release thread:
As the name suggests, this build of Android Q is best suited for developers and early adopters. As it is still in an early stage of development. That said, we do not recommend flashing this ROM if you have little to no experience in software development or flashing custom ROMs. Proceed at your own RISK!

I think your right to a certain extent, but I also feel like lately OnePlus hasn't been doing what they have become known for, oneplus users want fast updates to try out the latest of Android.
this build while intended for development was made with very little thought, most other OEMs on the list actually made it useable, take essential for example, yes there are a few bugs but it can send a text and doesn't crash when you click on auto brightness. Even though it was for "devs".
OnePlus could have definitely done a better job at this, very dissatisfied.

No we are not too dumb to read and I understand how a " developer preview" works. I had 4 developer previews with P on my essential last year. Even the first two of that weren't very good but at least stable, especially if u or anyone have run or tried any of the Google gsi's or pixel Q gsi port of the last preview. What we are saying is why did they take away things that were already fixed and working and give us this crap. It's a slap to the face to release a less stable version than what is already out there. Me and protodevano made our own version of a Q ified vendor and in doing so could flash those said ROMs. This crap is clearly backwards movement and is the reason so many of us are irritated. It's not cuz we can't read or understand. OnePlus messed up and was late to the game and clearly hurried up with whatever dumb thing they could to catch up to the other oems and turn in something for the masses. Completely clueless everyone else would have more stable versions. That is fair to be annoyed at.
Lastly in regards to their last part. I probably have more experience in flashing, manipulating firmware, and dissecting, and decrypting all types of firmware
Than most people on the fajita threads.i wrote the book on gsi flashing with the essential. I fixed the volte issues for users. I made Oreo ROMs emulate pie for Shamu with rounded UI.. I'm the guy people look to when they would like to know if something is possible. I push the limits. This Q is not even possible to push anything with. And a piss poor representation. Don't make excuses if u didn't try any other Q ROMs before yesterday's OnePlus release.

Has someone problems going back to custom roms?
I downgraded to the Pie Image linked in the OnePlus Android Q official post. This is working fine, i can boot and flash TWRP as well, but as soon as i install any room i go straight back to "Qualcom CrashDump Mode".
Tried the original fastboot partitions from "rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t" aswell, those are working fine for me as well. But soon as i flash any custom rom (tried 3 different ones) i go straight into the "Qualcom CrashDump Mode" (fastboot is no longer working after that so i have to use the MSM Tool to restore the phone).
Tried dirty flashing or a complete clean flash (wiping all partitions except Internal Storage) both result in the same Qualcom Crash screen.
Using the MSM Tool gets me a working Pie everytime, also using the original fastboot rooms works as well, it's only custom roms .... (tried with and without flashing magisk/opengapps)

It's cuz u still have one slot Q. When u install a rom it goes to that slot. From a booted up os, reboot to twrp, flash the pie downgrade zip again, then format, u should be good.or the quicker route would be use msm

No matter how buggy or broken they are, they are meant for developers to adapt software and hardware on them before final builds are out to the general public. Not for randoms to treat them as finals, as few here and a lot on the OP forums have done.

I just rebooted the phone. It says to enter in a PIN and none of the PINS that I normally use work. What are my options now that I can't get past the PIN setup to start Android?

Fairly sure you have to wipe and not choose "secure startup" (or similar) in the set up. That feature (encryption) is not working currently.

They could make a PRE-Alpha build, say DO NOT INSTALL THIS, and zillions of lDIOTS would download it because they want the latest update, no matter what, THEN, will get on here, OP's website and other places to complain about it.
It's like these clowns hanging out windows, rail cars and what not to get a selfie so they can get "likes"....lDIOTS

Custom ROM/Developer?

Hi guys! Just want to ask regarding custom ROM developer for our device as I noticed that there is only one developer that is working as of now. And based on his thread his not willing to work with anyone.
My question is any chance that there for other developer to work on our device? Coming from my previous device(mia1) lineage is well supported, little bit worried plus this is also my first time using miui and I'm not impressed. But hardware is top notch plus no moving parts ,this is a good device.
This question is just query without any demand to anyone. Thank you.

I'm using Pixel Experience GSI bro, and straight up not having a good time, but still better than miui (it's my personal taste). At this point, consider how this device had been out, i dont think we see any official roms any time soon

Unfortunately, the smartphone doesn't get the attention it deserves. But hope dies last.

[ROM] [Work in Progress] [Mantis] LineageOS 14.1 for Fire TV Stick 4K

Hi community!
There is a WIP (Work in Progress) ROM being mainly developed by @Rortiz2 and @diegocr: https://github.com/LOSMantis
Current ROM Status:
- Not Stable
Not Working:
- Sound
- OMX
- Maybe more...
Developers out there that would like to join development are welcome!...
Notice: This is a WIP ROM. It needs to be compile from the source (build steps could be adapted from the Nexus Player https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fugu/build) if someone wants to try it out. Ready to flash builds would maybe be available when the ROM is more stable. Please do not ask for ETA, it is being developed in the spare time of the developers!

Hi community!
Anyone already seen this project on github: https://github.com/LOSMantis ?
It is a shame that this project are not being discussed here on XDA so more devs could help on this project...

Yes, but full of bloatware, with some blocking mechanisms or black listed apps, no Google Play Store...
We are not allowed to change the home app easily, to use the standard Android settings without Amazon home app, not install already purchased apps on the Google Play Store and so on...

With root you can disable remove the "bloatware", although personally i dont think there is much i dont use. The fireOS TV is fairly smooth and easy to navigate. The android TV version is worse (IMO, I have a NVidea). You can disable the NIMH app, although i have yet to find any app it is blocking. The play store for androidTV is horrible. LauncherX is fairly easy to install. As with tank and sloan, i would expect issues with roms.

Can you and other people (that did this aswell) stop creating threads like this?

For now all is working except OMX and Audio so it's not worth to release anything.

Why are you so mad about this thread? We did not ask for a working ROM or any release dates and we appreciate all your time and dedication to the project...
As I wrote in the subject, this is a WIP (Work in Progress) ROM... Have seen so many threads like this in other forums here on XDA where the ROM only boots but nothing works...
I have created this thread to allow other devs to join the project (if nobody talks about it, than nobody knows that a project already exists and can not help).
But if you would like to do this project alone, just tell me an I will delete this thread...
Best regards,
Michael

...

I got really excited when I saw this thread. I cannot wait for stock Android for the Firestick 4K. I will 100% donate to the dev's who get this working!!

It's ok, leave the thread here. If somebody wants to help there's no problem.

Just throwing out an idea here but would getting some kind of test build out help? Perhaps getting some catlogs from the community could help find a solution? Again just throwing an idea out.

+1 for a test build, I've got a bricked 4k that boots both the hacked bootloader and TWRP, but whatever image I install has no display...
So I would like to try anything else even if stuff is broken on it (just to see if I can get a display).
thx.

Hi community!
Anyone already seen this project on github: https://github.com/LOSMantis ?
It is a shame that this project are not being discussed here on XDA so more devs could help on this project...
Hope this post will "awake" some devs (maybe @Pretoriano80?) for this project...
This can be the project that will free our Fire TV Stick 4k from the crappy FireOS!

It's at developer's discretion to discuss or release test builds here and considering that this particular rom still has some major bugs (call them deal breakers if you want), then i personally agree with the devs not releasing it yet.
Also, i didn't tested personally, but probably a custom rom like this may also break some features available on stock rom.
This being said, i'm sure that it will be released as soon as the guys behind it will consider it stable enough.
P. S. BTW, thread title is misleading and probably aldo violates XDA rules.

I totally understand and respect that. I did bring up having some kind of developer/user test build done just in case that could help further along getting said bugs fixed by getting catlogs that might help narrow down what is causing the issues. But if the devs feel that doing that would only slow things down (or even not help at all) then I respect that decision.

That's the nature of things when it comes to Lineage OS ROMs (and AOSP in general). Sometimes devs are able to get the ROMs to have nearly all the functionality of the device working... and sometimes not. But I generally prefer Lineage myself due to the overall experience being faster since LOS tends to not have all the bloat that stock ROMs sometimes have - especially Amazon devices which feel so bloated down with garbage I will never use.

Hi Pretoriano80,
As I already replied to one of the devs, I never asked for a release date or ROM for flashing. The title also is marked as WIP (Work in Progress), that means that the ROM is in development and not ready for use...
I have seen that you already made a great job with the custom kernel. Thanks! Would you also like to help this project as it seems it also can use your kernel? Kernel dev with ROM devs would be the best team!
Thanks again to all devs that work hard for releasing new stuff for the Amazon devices...

How's the progress so far?

Looks like nothing much: https://github.com/LOSMantis/android_vendor_amazon_mantis
Too bad !!

dead project ?

I made a test build (with many warnings). Also I used the kernel from @Pretoriano80.
You can download it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=324510
Please note that I couldn't test this out yet, so be careful of what you do. (Will try it out for myself soon)

it's not worth to test since it's a dead project, it would be more usefull to begin a new project developing LineageOS 16 rom , At least we will be able to use the new Android/Google TV UI.

LineageOS 16 won't ever be able to happen for the Mantis version because it doesn't support treble, the most it could do is LOS 14.1 since it's a legacy device.
