Hello all,
I usually don't join forums and jump in to make one post pertaining to my issue but rather conduct extensive research to figure out my problem, so many apologies beforehand. However, this issue seems to be unique to me and I would to know if anyone can help me out!
After unlocking the bootloader yesterday, I rooted my Pixel XL using chainfire's systemless root method and I was ecstatic as ever! I followed the directions to the T to make sure I didn't make any mistakes, but using ADB program is familiar territory to me - everything went as expected and I successfully rooted my phone. However, I made the mistake of downloading apps that were not compatible with the systemless root, which I read could have some complications. This is where I was stumbling upon new ground, because I am not entirely familiar with "systemless root" and what the key differences are, nor what the repercussions would be for downloading apps that would look for root access in the /system partition. The two apps that I downloaded were "Magisk Manager" and "Game Guardian." On the Magisk Manager, the install data was downloaded to my phone, nothing was actually installed to the phone. As for Game Guardian, I don't think that app had compatibility with systemless root yet.
This issue where my UI would crash would persist, even after restarting my phone. I would boot the phone up to bootloader and recovery mode - just to cycle through and restart the phone regularly (since you can't wipe the cache partition), that didn't work. I tried deleting those apps and clearing their data from my phone, and that didn't work.
I made a revelation when I plugged the phone in and the persistent UI crashing stopped. I had thought that I fixed the issue, but then it continued throughout the day - up until before I posted this post. That was when I noticed that the crashing is tied with the battery status;
When I had low battery and my phone wasn't charging, my System UI would immediately crash.
When I had low battery and my phone was charging, my System UI would not crash.
When I have a decent charge (anything above what is "low battery" - 15%?), my System UI would not crash.
I did a little experiment when I was at low battery and I noticed that RIGHT BEFORE the System UI would crash, the battery icon would stay with the lightning bolt, instead of switching over to a red battery with low charge. I was unable to get a screenshot before it crashed, though. Provided, are screenshots of what my screen looked when the System UI would crash (minus the consistent pop-up) and when it was charging:

}
My concern right now, with my ignorance on systemless rooting and how incompatible apps could affect the phone, is that maybe the stock battery icon for when the phone is at a low charge is missing from the system file images and that is what might be causing the crashing.
Can anyone give any insight on the matter? I'll provide any information required, if need be!
Thank you in advance.

I have not experienced this problem. And some that have were using outdated ADB / SDK drivers.
One person fixed it by simply updating ADB and drivers then re-rooted and he was all set. I will try to find the link...

The current fix is to flash the stock boot.img or custom kernel and don't flash root. Im hopeful it will be fixed in next Supersu update.

EasyWP7Updater
Hello hackers!
Earlier today I started working on a project that should make updating Windows Phones via cabs easier. It's called EasyWP7Updater. Currently only manual cab sending is enabled, you can grab cabs from the official update list thread or if you have a custom rom, your rom author might offer customization cabs.
Downloads: https://github.com/jessenic/EasyWP7Updater/downloads
Bug Reports and Feature Requests: https://github.com/jessenic/EasyWP7Updater/issues
Source code: https://github.com/jessenic/EasyWP7Updater/tree/
Future homepage: http://jessenic.github.com/EasyWP7Updater/
Please test and report all bugs you might find either responding to this thread or by posting them on the Issues page on Github. Feature requests are also welcome.
In the future I'll allow ROM builders to add cabs in the app, stay tuned!
I'll definitely hop on board to help =)

What the difference between xboxmod's cab sender and your?
will this app relock the phone when after updated?
xmod cab sender has this problem.
Really, @Magpir?!? That's just a matter of the CAB itself. It has nothing to do with the CAB sender. You'd get the same behavior if you update manually using any CAB sender, or if you update using the official Zune mechanism. It's already known what causes the re-lock (the "prevent relock" registry values that normally have the MS server where you phone checks its expected lock setting are restored by this update). It's also known how to avoid the problem (http://windowsphonehacker.com/artic...date_be_forewarned_possible_solution-06-28-12).
@jessenic: Nice project! Are you planning to include "fake an update just to take a backup" as a feature? It would be nice to narrow down the number of apps needed.

At the moment there is no big difference, but in the future my app will let you download cabs from ms servers in a simple way too.
Just tried it, and it works fantastic! Although, similar to other senders, this one should be easy and familiar to those who do not hack much. This makes it much simpler.
Since it's open source, are you allowing people to include it in other archives? I've downloaded and compressed the updates, added cab sender, then uploaded it for easy installation. Can I do that with this if I give you credit?
Thanks for your hard work. Great Job!

We are adding automatic download for all OS versions, it detects the one on phone and shows latest versions and tells the user how to check which language packs are installed. That's the plan at least.

It solely depends on how ROM packages are built. Have you noticed "Shadows" tab in DSM editor?
What the heck is this?
Maybe my brain is still asleep but how the hell do you execute this? There is no file to run it. All I'm seeing is uncompiled VB files.

Wow what a bad setup on the download page. So I guess I had to source download but still it's pretty confusing.

sweet deal
worked well enough, and was easy to boot
just some quirky things with the play by play:
why have it denote the same % over and over? this entire process does not take all that long, waiting for the next percent doesn't take so long that we really need to know its still at 0%. I imagine its to let us know that things are still rolling, but seriously, if it sits for a minute or two and hasn't ticked over to the next percent, obviously something is wrong
where exactly did the backup I made end up?
the "installing updates..........." message didn't display until after the updates had actually been installed
and it finished with

Yeah that part needs some fixing. Its already on my todo-list.
Edit: Oh and the backup is in the default Zune backup folder, you can restore it with Zune.
This is an awesome tool. Thank you very much for making the update process painless.
My one suggestion would be to add a progress bar so the user can how many more steps the software has to go through.
Thanks again.
I attached the download file as GitHub is deprecating it's downloads section.

Dears,
Hope you are having a great time.
I just switched from using Nexus 5 to LG G3, I was really excited for this phone that I went and got the Korean version. The phone is SO LAGGY and slow, it takes (1.5 ~ 2 seconds) to launch YouTube which is pretty slow compared to the Nexus, I need some help and I have no expertise at ALL in developers stuff:
- Can I turn the LG G3 into a Stock android ? similar to how the S4 GPE ?
- What's the difference between "Rooting" and "Custom Rom" ?
- I read in the development section of the forum (can't post a comment there since I'm a new member) and there is one topic that has a light version of the LG G3 system, it seems the system is much much faster and improved, the question is, is it safe ? the owner of the topic included a zip file to download and a video in a language I don't understand, could someone help do what he did ?
Regards, :angel:
The korean versions comes with so much bloat, its unbelievable. Wait for International Version and then flash it, and it will be smooth. Its just that crap bloatware which make it slos

Hey, sorry to bother you, can you explain step by step what to disable and how to turn down the animation? I'm a newbie .. .
First go to apps manager, select the apps u want to disable. Then go to deinstall updates. After that go to the apps again, and there will be an disable button, but some apps u cant disable
2)go to settings-->Telefon Info -- Software Information- -- tap 5 times to build number now u are an developer.
Go to settings again ---- developer option-- enable it --- scroll down to the 3 animation who are set to 1x. All 3 animation turn to 0.5x
I hope i could help u , reply if it worked
Thanks a lot
it made the phone (a bit) better.
However, I would really be glad if someone can explain to me how to do the process step by step for the topic mentioned in the developers section titled (always stay update)
Careful when testing opening the YouTube app, as that app is notoriously slow opening compared to all other apps. It takes around 2 seconds on all phones, unless it's already open. (ie, in the RAM)

As anyone who has unlocked the bootloader on their 5X knows, this message appears at startup. I've flashed the PureNexus ROM and then the EX Kernel but neither of these removes the message. It's not a huge deal since everything is working as it's supposed to. Just not sure what can be done to remove that message.
I believe there is nothing we can do, short of getting our hands on an engineering bootloader.
I was wrong, see post #6 below!
Unlocking the BL is the only way to root, right?

Judging by the screenshots, It looks like you're right - The delay would still be there but happy to stand corrected here!
Useful note from the thread:
ddggttff3 said:
Just tested, and yes you can visually remove the warnings, but note flashing a custom imgdata file will cause the bootloader to boot to the red error screen instead of the yellow one, so you will want to update the images for all of the warning messages to remove it.

Warning message is an Eye Sore!, my offer
That caution warning is a complete downer.... I would be willing to pay 250 dollar bounty to a deve who can either:
1. remove the warning as a stand alone solve or ,
2. force the Google screen to run in its place for that time period.
3. Packed as a zip to flashed in recovery or an img. for fastboot flash...
Think in time, as more of the phones get out in public, it will help the community who wants the unlock but not the eye sore warning...
So far my exploring has scored a big zero to solve the issue...
I'm putting it out there for whoever wants to give it a go. It will be good for the community.
Cheers, CG
I've been thinking about this, but my android-fu isn't too strong. I still need to do a bunch of research.
There are three warning messages - yellow, orange, and red. I think you get the yellow one when the bootloader is unlocked and the red one when the verity checksums do not match the actual rom (I.e., something has been modified).
I think one way would get rid of the messages would be to relock the bootloader and also update the checksums so that they do match. I might be missing something here, but the issue with locking the bootloader, is that we won't be able to flash any new recoveries. I think this can be worked around by flashing the new recovery as a zip file, not an image. My marshmallow-fu isn't great in this area, so I'm not sure what has changed recently that prevents this.
The red warning might be harder and I need to do more research into the checksum process and how the rom is verified. I suspect this has to do with the dm-verity bits.
Edit: OK, I did 20 mins of "research" - http://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot.html#overview
We will get the orange warning if the bootloader is unlocked.
If the bootloader is locked, we will get the yellow warning whenever the signatures don't match the OEM key, but do match the public keys (user, not OEM) used to sign the images.
The red warning can be avoided by signing the images and including the public key.
As noted above, the images can be changed to reduce the eyesore. In a more ideal world, we would just get the yellow warning.
I really hope one day we can get rid of that eye sore

That shouldn't be too hard, thanks for the feedback. I could rush out a quick version, but posting up images just before I sleep doesn't fill me with ease.
No promises but hopefully I'll have time tomorrow
Created another version of subtle with an unlocked padlock. Check the main thread above for them.
If someone wanted the visible option with a padlock, please let me know.
You should start your own thread in the Mod section! People will really love this but its too hard to find! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Imgdata tool works flawlessly
The Imgdata Tool mentioned earlier works flawlessly to customize your boot screens: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...-change-bootlogo-images-imgdata-tool-t3240052
You need to have a little knowledge of graphics but with Photoshop or Gimp it's just a matter of choosing your image and resizing (or making a text based image, or just a black image that will be a blank screen). Watch the file size as instructed. If you haven't done any advanced image manipulation, it's a great learning opportunity.

It's random, it's happening to a few at the moment: Wifi Analyzer, WireGuard, Wirex, Wise, etc.
As it happened to WhatsApp, I uninstalled, reinstalled and it worked but it's very odd.

Maybe custom kernel issue, is it only on boot before everything initializes? Should have to wait 2 to 4 min after boot

I don't have a custom kernel, it's straight on latest Oxygen and it stays indefinitely, funny enough. Was also happening with the XDA app, removing and reinstalling did the trick.

Try turning off modules one by one till you find the culprit. No issues here

Not yet, I ended up reinstalling those apps but will disable modules next.time it happens (and it will), I will update here when I do. Thanks for.the help!
I think I had similar with Sesame shortcuts. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but it went away eventually
This is crazy. It just happened again, I disabled every module and rebooted but it is still there, same error message and the app is greyed out. Both on nova and oneplus launcher . Have no idea what's causing that here .
Attached is the error on the screen.
Just ran a logcat and this message is what I get when I click one of the greyed out apps:

Did you block root permission for all apps?
Facing the same issue here. Did anybody find any solution?
I found the answer! The apps are being suspended by alpha backup for backup. The bugger ended up suspending itself while backing itself up. Guess what happens when you suspend your own self?....
A simple :
Code:
pm unsuspend com.ruet_cse_1503050.ragib.appbackup.pro
from adb shell with root did the magic

Oh wow,that's cool, @devsk, thanks for coming back for an update!
My apologies @matze19999 , I haven't seen your update on the thread (didn't get a notification!)
It just happened with me again, though, and alpha backup blocked the settings and UI wizard apps ,bizarre to say the least. Just thinking how I will get out of this situation as ADB shell doesn't work , magisk (which I renamed and is called settings) is also locked and if I boot via bootloader with a magisk_rooted boot image, I can't install magisk as well. Looks like it's start from scratch for me.

Good to know you found a solution. I was going to say avoid apps starting with W.

Many thanks Sir!
You've saved my life
Exactly the same happened to me when trying out Alpha Backup Pro and naively check the "Suspend apps before backup/restore" not realizing it might not unsuspend them *after* backing them up :/
Quite a bugger if you'd ask me - I had to unsuspend about 200 apps ... what a tedious job
On another note: what do you think about Alpha Backup Pro? Is it worth keeping? I'm not switching/updating ROMs a lot nowadays because our device has some problems with TWRP so I can't test it "in real life scenarios"
Apart from this glitch with suspend, I have found this app to be the most complete and most reliable backup solution (I loved TiBu before it got abandoned).

Thanks for coming back to my question!
I'm still undecided between Alpha Backup Pro and OandBackupX ...
Right now I'm quite puzzled that Alpha Backup Pro seems to have executed the nightly schedule to backup the complete data well - at least the backup folder is filled with files *but* inside the app the backed up data tab is empty
I played with OandBackupX for quite a while because I was looking for replacing TiBu with an open source solution. My advice: stay away from it. It won't restore properly. As much as I like open source, this app is not there yet. I hope it is complete and reliable at some point.
With Alpha Backup, make sure you do a complete local backup! Ignore everything else.
Id like to stay with pixel instead of having to sell and then buy a new phone, just hassle, but iv seen proton is a very good ROM to run, my issues are with updates, how would you update the proton ROM? And is it easy enough to revert back to stock if needed?
Thanks.
If you want more privacy and security, as well as regular updates, GrapheneOS is an excellent option. Not sure the Proton ROM has OTA-like updates though

Graphene is a privacy based rom that lacks some crucial functionality if you need everything running. This is according to various posts on here and Reddit. Some people love it, and I'm sure some don't. I saw someone that liked it a lot but had to roll back because they couldn't get something or other working. But it depends on your needs.
As for Proton there is no OTA but updates are posted and they are a simple web install that takes about 4 or 5 minutes. Nothing is wiped if you are updating. After installing you can relock the bootloader if you want but that's another wipe as I'm sure you know. This is a very stock rom with a lot of tweaks in the background. FPR for one. It's much quicker although not perfect yet. Also the latest version is the December build with all security and most features enabled. One difference, of many, is that call screening is still available on this build. Call on hold is not. I flashed this rom and then installed the November radio over it since it does come with the crappy December radio. It's way better, I don't lose signal very much although I still do occasionally. Bottom line I like it and would have a hard time going back to stock. I'm not rooted and after the next update I might relock the bootloader, wipe the device and leave it at that.
Reverting to stock is the same as with any other custom rom. You can web install stock or manually fastboot it. Not a difficult process.

Hey I just tried there now and I unlocked the bootloader but it keeps saying about available space and if I'm using an incognito browser? Is there a specific browser I need to use to do this, I tried chrome and edge? Says I need 5gb available, my pc has like 1TB, any suggestions

What about not incognito? I heard there was some limits on that space wise.

I'll head over there now. I did see that a day or so ago.
edit: looks like the problem arises if you have multiple profiles on Chrome. I think the manual install is not that difficult though if you still run into problems. Flashall.bat -w to wipe the device then flashall.bat to install the rom. Don't do a thing until it's done. It's tempting because you get a fastboot menu allowing you to restart the device. Don't do it let the rom install direct you. I actually forgot if it's an auto reboot into the rom or finally the rom instructs you to reboot. But it should be pretty clear.

Maybe you can borrow a computer from an associate for about 5 minutes? Worth a try. Good luck let us know how you made out.

Are you using a VPN by chance? VPN are known to cause issues with wireless devices trying to connect (printers, Sonos (audio), debugging, et cetera), since your two favored toys can't "find" each other any more.
Can anyone currently using this ROM try out the translate function from the screen shot menu? I included a screen shot of how it normally presents with the results after selecting translate.
Also if you test it, there needs to be enough of a foreign language on the screen and also it might not trigger of it has your default language on the screen mixed in
