Develop Bugs

Are we the users who like personalization stuck in nexus/pixel?

I won´t get bored with a nexus, because scene and development is so big that I can be trying all the time, Roms, mods, kernel, themes...There is always several alternatives
I owned an HTC and an Xiaomi phone, things were lot different, htc is awful for unlocking bootloader (you have to pay and even warranty is broken). And xiaomi well, there is development, but only for miui which I dont like. There are roms aosp, cm, etc...but they are full of bugs and laggy
There have been a lot of great phones (like honor 8, htc 10...) that I would not buy because of this. I like to keep a phone for around 2 years, and I would become really bored If I cant play with scene....
Moreover, in nexus the scene keeps going for several years after phone launch, while others may be abandoned earlier (May be wrong? )
Just want to know your opinions, and If you know some brand which has scene movement in xda...?? Not asi big as in nexus obviously...

You're a power user. Can the Google Pixel keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Google Pixel. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Now that people have sort of figured out the goofy partitions of the Pixel, things are getting good. The PureNexus ROM is amazing, the few kernels we have are tremendous, and generally I'm content with it for the age of the device (and Nougat).

Its a flagship of Android so it will be used as a standard for development in alot of cases. That alone is worth praise to its longevity. It will likely be supported for years to come.

I love

I wondered the same thing, I just bought a pixel on ebay. Official support is just about over so i'm wondering how things are on the unofficial development.

Unofficial suport is still really good. We have a couple of roms such as LineageOS, Bootleggers, Pixel Dust, Benzo Rom, and some more but these are those posted on XDA and there are probably some outside. Much life left for this device! We still have security updates until October 2019 from Google. So after that we'll be relying on the custom development community for future security updates and future android versions. Since we have treble support there's no problem. Even if devs move away from this device we still could boot treble roms which there are plenty of.

Its top!
You have an really truly unbrickable phone (msm download tool is available), sources released by OnePlus, MultiRom, and some amount of custom kernels/roms.
Also you can probably change your bootloader splash screen.

The dev szene is just starting, but more and more roms are coming. Dev support seems to get really great, unified roms with oneplus 3.

Seeing as it's now easy to develop for both the 3 and 3T at the same time... I'd say it's going to expand pretty rapidly

So coustom ROMs for both OnePlus 3 and 3t gets unified?? That's great news

Why wouldn't they be unified? There's very little difference between the two. This is the exact reason unified rom development is even a thing.

this has been mentioned before multiple times by the mods. There are still differences. I see two seperate forums as a benefit for both devices.

I'm currently waiting for my OP3T , coming from a long line of android devices, then i briefly recently hopped over to iphone 6s+, and contemplated ending my life by beating the phone over and over on my skull over 6 months before i reactivated my nexus 6p . I'm excited about 6gb of RAM and SD821!

its nice to see this android device.

I think now that AOSPA is out for the 3 and 3t, it cannot be beat.

No words for this part though, the community is great and is working on keeping the phone well in the update loop.

The development scene is rocking now!! Almost all ROMs support this device along with many kernels, boot animations and other customizations. I even used Ubuntu Touch on it for a while. Solid phone and still a great daily driver.

MIUI Pro Custom ROM

I was wondering if anyone has experience using the above custom ROM? The homepage is in Russian and I haven't been able to find out much more about it other than the fact that some people really seem to like it.
If anybody is running the ROM I would be interested in opinions. Is it worth flashing instead of using stock MIUI? Any problems using it in English or compatibility issues with US phone service?
I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet but have permission. I'm trying to figure out if there is a custom ROM worth flashing that offers some advantages over stock. My original plan was to flash LOS but some people seem to be experiencing bugs.
Any info on MIUI PRO (or even a different recommendation) would be appreciated.
I can't complain about performance on stock which is blazing fast but I do miss Google Smart Lock.

Would actually also appreciate any information on this ROM. I have used LineageOS, MIUI Stable, Developer, Nightly Beta, EpicRom, RR but not this one solely because the site is Russian as you stated. Would love a bit more info...Figured I'd reply to this in hope to revive it.
As for LineageOS, you might as well try it out now. The third release (most recent one) has had a LOT of fixes and optimizations done to it.

I've been using it for more than one Xiaomi phone and I think it's a great rom. Very fast, smooth, without lag and with an excellent battery life. It also has a face unlock and other settings that you can't find in other roms...I try Epic Rom,Xiaomi Eu,Lineage...
I don't know about US phone service because I'm from Europe...not from Russia but I use Miui Pro without problems or fear also if they are from Russia
Try it:good:

Thanks! I shall look into it. What kind of modifications/differences are there compared to the stock MIUI?

For example you can encrease at 6 number of toggles... double tap where do you want to wake up or turn off the screen...choose the colour the battery when is 100% or 80%...etc

MIUI Pro has had very bad battery backup for me
I switched to Mi-Globe ROM

I tried LOS. I was excited at first to have stock Android back but then I experienced issues with poor call quality and my mobile data reception became erratic so I ended up going back to MIUI Global with the MI Flash tool and not paying close enough attention allowed it to lock my bootloader again.
My skepticism about MIUI PRO goes beyond the Russian website. There is no information about the ROM in English anywhere I could find. The only review on YouTube is in Hindi. None of the Xiaomi threads on XDA, Google+ or Reddit has information about the ROM. I know Xiaomi phones are primarily sold in China and India but that doesn't really explain why there seems to be no information anywhere about the ROM.
But the fact that the ROM is based in Russia does seriously concern me. I had an issue with Kaspersky Anti-virus (which used to be first rate) not flagging Russian malware on my computer. And that happened a full year before Russian hackers helped Trump become president. Using a Russian operating system on a phone just doesn't seem like the smartest idea.
If you try MIUI Pro post what you think of it.

Well said my friend, and kudos for using the flash tool....just feels so much more..genuine. Can't say I haven't accidentally locked my bootloader too but that's how we learn.
I found the LOS to be, well, an absolute stock experience. But like you and I'm sure many others, it just isn't at the point where it should be used as a daily driver. I'm currently running the 11th of May beta but honestly has more bugs than LOS at this stage so will be reverting back to the latest official developer ROM from the MIUI site (fastboot ver of course).
Gave this MIUIPro some extra thought and seeing as though it sounds very limited in extras (you can mod the number of toggles in the quick settings with packages already available on XDA if you wished to do so) I'll stick with builds straight from Xiaomi.
Sorry for the let down

I was thinking about trying the MIUI Developer ROM. Is it stable enough to use as a daily driver? I looked at posts about the beta but that seemed to be to buggy for me. I value stability since I'm using the Mi Mix 2 as my main phone. That wasn't my original plan but the signal reception is so superior to my Essential PH-1 I couldn't justify using it daily instead even though there are many things that I prefer about that phone.
Maybe LOS for this phone will get better eventually but that was what I kept telling myself when I had an OP5. I hated the stock OS but after trying every custom ROM that existed I found only 1 Nougat ROM (Viper) and 1 Oreo ROM (Phoenix) that I considered good enough to use as a daily driver. I'm not a programmer but I think the quality of custom ROMs has gone down the toilet because they are almost always being made now by people who don't use the phone as their daily driver. The only non-OOS ROM made by a developer who actually used the OP5 daily was Phoenix and you could tell the difference the developer actually using the phone made.
Cyanogenmod was the first custom ROM I ever used that always had bugs, probably because they were trying to be compatible with as many phones as possible. My experience with LOS on 2 previous phones has been exactly the same. I love that they are trying to bring stock Android to phones that don't have it but I wish they were doing a better job.

Hey man. I had been using Developer builds up until now and I can tell you they are easily stable enough for daily use. I cannot confirm this is 100% correct but I'm fairly sure Developer ROMs are just the in-between ROMs where all the minor adjustments happen. The change logs have all included things like "Improved system stability", "removed unnecessary files for [insert app here]" etc. So you never know, they could actually be more stable than any of the "Stable" releases you've used so far, you'll have to be the judge of that. I don't travel much, nor do I require any very advanced function of Android at this stage so for sure there could be something I've missed but I have never had a force shut-down, lack of signal, graphical bug or force-close of app with any of the developer builds.
I never owned a OP5 but I did have a OP3 and OP3t which I used FreedomOS on both but eventually came around to LineageOS only because they all seemed about as optimized as eachother. I'm all for custom MIUI ROMs if they are going to actually improve on something but at this stage all they do is debloat which can be done by anyone and add a few features which actually make the system less stable and battery hungry. My plan is to try the occasional Beta to see what new features Xiaomi is bringing to the table, stick with the latest developer the rest of the time, and when they finally make a stable I'm happy with then stick with that until the next wave of software upgrades is due.
How is the Essential by the way? Apart from the signal. Never met anyone who owned one.

It's a nice looking phone. Great build quality and excellent QHD screen. It's smaller than other phones I've owned over the past 5 years bit doesn't feel like a small screen phone because of the high screen to body ratio. It's much more comfortable to handle than the Mi Mix 2 although I'm getting used to this one. It's not as smooth or snappy as the Mix 2. But the weak signal reception is a big problem. I used it on T-Mobile (erratic signal), AT&T (poor signal), Sprint (poor signal) and Verizon (very good signal). Unfortunately Verizon's MVNO (Straight Talk) is way more expensive than the ones available for T-Mobile so it made more sense to use a different phone than pay a higher cell service bill every month just so I could keep using the Essential. I should have returned it for a refund but fell in love with it which was why I tried every network. I'm just using it as a backup with very cheap T-Mobile. The signal at home is crap but since WiFi calling works it doesn't matter.
Maybe I'll try the dev ROM then. Thanks for the info.

Programming on OnePlus phones has gotten way worse since the OP3/3T days. Oxygen was programmed by a team in Europe back then. But to save money OnePlus fired the European programmers and transferred the ROM to the Hydrogen team in China. That's when the coding started to go completely to hell.
Software engineers in China and India analyzed the OnePlus version of Oreo and reported that a lot of the code was actually Nougat. They also said the coding overall was very sloppy and unprofessional.
If you follow software devs on their Telegram channels (outside of XDA) it doesn't take long to discover that the poor programming on OnePlus phones is a running joke with many of them.
Running a custom ROM doesn't completely fix the problem either because the custom ROMs still need to use OnePlus firmware which is a mess.
OnePlus phones are so poorly programmed there is no way to use TWRP safely unless you decrypt the data on your phone and keep it permanently decrypted.

You make me really appreciate the fact I chose my Mi Mix 2 over the OnePlus 5t. Coming from the OnePlus 3T it was a difficult decision but I'm glad I made the switch.
Honestly this is the first I've heard of this but that's so bad, they are becoming one of the most popular high end smartphone manufacturers and they struggle to make solid, secure advancements in their software which can potentially lead to massive breaches of privacy via exploits.
Actually I remember not too long ago, wasn't there a big issue where users could access root from within the hidden developer settings of the OS? Without even an unlocked bootloader.
Gotta love that this is an entirely different topic from what this thread was made for.

For whatever reason tech sites in the United States allow themselves to be shills for OnePlus. Reviews for the latest OnePlus device frequently sound more like shameless promotion than honest analysis because they often are. OnePlus solicits reviews in exchange for free phones and places the reviews on accommodating tech sites. I received an invitation to apply for a free OnePlus 6 phone and help to influence tech buyers. To apply OnePlus wanted a full length sample review of a tech product I already owned. The people who submit the most professional sounding reviews get the free phones and send their reviews to OnePlus. OnePlus then cherry picks those submissions and publishes the reviews it likes on various tech sites.
Pretty much the only two places you can get accurate information about OnePlus phones is on Telegram and Reddit.
Here's what happened with spyware in the 8 months I had an OP5. Someone discovered that a system process in Oxygen was secretly transmitting a lot of detailed user information to servers in China. This was separate from the User Experience Program that owners could opt out of.
An explanation of how to disable the spyware process was published and when asked to comment OnePlus promised to remove the spyware.
Nothing was done at all until the next scheduled monthly update. It appeared that OnePlus removed the spyware but it was discovered that OnePlus instead changed the name of the spyware process and that it was still transmitting the same user information to servers in China.
OnePlus apologized again but still left the spyware functioning until the next scheduled monthly update.
Shortly after it was discovered that an app in Oxygen allowed anyone with physical access to a OnePlus phone to unlock and root it by connecting it to a computer. OnePlus claimed that it was a Qualcomm test app that had been accidentally left on the phone. There actually was such an app but when Qualcomm examined the app found on OnePlus phones they said it definitely wasn't theirs.
It took OnePlus two months to remove the app from Oxygen.
Then in December a new type of spyware was discovered in an Oxygen beta build for the OP3/3T--a clipboard app that was transmitting contents to a server in China. OnePlus insisted that the clipboard app wasn't spyware but was actually a feature intended for its Chinese customers even though OnePlus sells virtually no phones in China.
Also in mid November OnePlus started to receive reports that customers who used their credit cards to make purchases on the official OnePlus site were seeing unidentified charges on their accounts. OnePlus didn't shut down credit card processing on its website until January. By that time over 40,000 OnePlus customers had their credit card information stolen.
OnePlus is not a good company so the fact that American tech sites continue to shill for them is nauseating.
I'm definitely much happier with my Mix 2 than I was with the OP5. This isn't a perfect phone but it's very good for the cost. The OP5 had crummy build quality and felt like cheap junk.

I tried MIUI Pro for a couple days. I wasn't all that impressed with it. MIUI Pro is less smooth and fluid than the latest official Global Dev Build despite having almost all of the Xiaomi MIUI apps removed.
The default keyboard is from Sony Experia for some reason. The only added feature than I personally found worthwhile was the expanded boot menu.
These are the other differences I noticed:
1) There is a smart network function that allows you to choose a specific type of network connectivity when making or receiving phone calls. You can have the phone switch to a specific network type and also automatically shut off WiFi, data or Bluetooth when on a call.
2) Menu options to change the system font and animations and their speed.
3) Built in charging alarm that would have been way more useful if you could customize the low charge/full charge values.
4) Option to use LTE instead of 4G in status bar as well as more options to disable/enable icons that appear there.
5) Three status bar settings (stock, aosp & IOS) that sound promising but all they did was change the arrangement of the status bar icons.
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. The Google Play Store comes pre-installed but nothing else--not even the Google app. That makes setting up Google Assistant with voice commands much more of a hassle but it's doable--the menus to make that happen in MIUI Pro aren't intuitive but that's probably because it's based on the China ROM.
It's also more of a hassle to get Google apps working properly in MIUI Pro compared with Official Global because you need to download everything from the Play Store and also manually grant the permissions for each app.
Since there are very few pre-installed apps you do have more free storage but I expected the ROM to be way faster and smoother since it's so stripped down. Performance of the ROM definitely isn't bad but for some reason it's inferior to stock.
Even though I chose English as the install language a couple of notifications came up in Russian. What they said I don't know.
I also don't know if any spyware or malware was written into the OS.
I missed stock after using MIUI Pro for just a few hours but ran it for 2 days anyway to give the ROM a fair chance.
I could see someone running MIUI Pro on a device where there was no official global ROM but it didn't do much for me.

Question PUBG mobile and 90 fps, what the heck is this?

Hello,
When OnePlus released their 9 series I bought a OP 9. Right from the beginning it was 100 % clear that 90 fps in PUBGM would be enabled for those who wish to game with high frames. That was also the case. Nevertheless, I am the kind of person (prolly like many of yall ) that kind of switches phones like 5-10 times a year or something. Well, I did a mistake and bought a Redmagic 6R (which got fully refunded thankfully), but I invested in an iPad pro 2021 with the M1-SoC. Both these devices, needless to say, also had 90 fps enabled as an option.
2 weeks ago I bought a Xiaomi 11T Pro, which on paper and everything would seem like a done deal regarding this 90 fps issue. No. It wasnt enabled and there were no workarounds that actually worked (rooting would have solved the case of course). So, I sold it, found a sweet only opened box OP 9 Pro with alot of new, in boxes, accessories for a great price. I was so happy. This phone if any would be the golden standard if you like to be sure to be able to play at 90 fps in PUGBM, right? No. Ive tried everything, OOS12, 11, forcing stable refresh rate via adb (didnt do anything in any app tbh).
Guys, I know this might be a very silly problem, but its quite a deal breaker for me. Im ready to get rid of this phone, especially considering I can make a buck out of the sweet deal I managed to find, but I dont want to. I want to keep it and play PUBG at 90 fps. I do not care about the overheating issues, every Snapdragon 888 device is burning more or less in many type of work loads.
Is there any chance I can enable this game changer of an option or am I doomed to sell it and research the net 24/7 for some bargain deal, maybe ROG 5, Redmagic............ yes I would be willing if the price was "priceless". Lenovo legion duel 2 cant possibly be capped at 60 fps either, I have a hard time imagine at least.
Please help a fellow gamer out if you know anything!

Please help a fellow gamer out if you know anything!

Bro dw I gotchu.
So I was in the same loop that you're in regarding the 90fps pubg issue. Prior to my current 9 pro, I had an OP 7T. That was actually one of the first Android phone to feature 90fps, and I was ****ing thrilled when only OnePlus devices exclusively for that feature. Felt like a humongous upgrade over the 60. And honestly I got so good at the game (during the initiation of covid) that we had youtube tournaments and room sessions every other day.
Anyway after a while when the 9 series came out I felt like it was the time to upgrade. (not that my 7T gave me a reason to) I was planning on buying the 8 pro at first but somehow I managed to get an unbelievable deal with the stellar black version of the phone, which I instantly availed and got my 9 Pro.
Although this deal was a miracle for me at the time but I never ever thought even for a second before buying, that a flagship phone with a flagship processor would not have the option of 90fps by default. I was honestly devastated upon noticing this and tried many workarounds with zero success.
Corona also started to wear off and the gameplay in 60fps from smooth 90 felt like such a downgrade that I never felt like playing the game anymore after a couple of matches.
Funny thing is that Cod mobile never even got the official support for 90fps in the 9 series. I mean that's just so messed up. My 7T still has the 90fps option by default.
Anyway I left Pubg and Cod completely after a few months as the playing experience just wasn't worth the OP hardware.
Now to the good part
A few months back a man of culture uploaded a simple magisk module which enabled 90fps for both pubg and cod, for the 9 Pro. As I like to root my androids from the very start (currently on OOS11 rooted with custom kernel) I quickly flashed the module to check it out, and voila!
The 90fps option was visible in the game settings. No more workarounds and bull****. Just s simple magisk module and all your worries are gone. I really hope you know what I'm talking about regarding the magisk modules and rooting. You'll find easy rooting methods here on xda.
I probably have that module backed up in my Gdrive, I can provide you with the link if needed. I'm attaching a screenshot of that module as well so you know this isn't bull****
Godspeed my brother! I really hope this helps you or somebody in the future as nobody had a solution in my peak playing days.

Thanks for such an extensive and serious reply my man. Appreciate it very much. Yes, I do know everything about Magisk, it's innerworkings, it's current state* due to The Man taking a great leap I fully understand and am positive about even though it changed Magisk quite a bit (tbh Im fully convinced that Magisk would have ended up taking this path anyway, not by choice but you know it's been quite obvious Magisk hide isn't gonna last for a very long time whatever the boss of the project does or does not. I think there isn't even a single reason to question it, he made a great choice and finally got the pay check he deserves, not to mention the great honour and public recognition that his pure talent should get.
*Edit cus it didn't come out the right way, not being cocky lol. Also partly false statements.
Anyway, hide..... Yes, I am very comfortable in rooting this device as I've gone through that process via different ways but mainly Magisk and avoiding TWRP or any of the cousins it has. That particular module you mention I'd say to 99 % certainty is the exact same module and maintainer/dev behind it as I've flashed unto two or three devices. I remember you get alternatives in the terminal when flashing it, like 1-5, depending on game/games etc. Works flawlessly and Tencent are too incompetent, also lazy and spoiled to a degree that actually disgusts me. That's another story, but you're safe from any ban risk with the module flashed for sure.
I've seen that others have picked up the work and forked The Boss's project regarding the Hide option, gonna have a look at that now. Have they or someone been able to reestablish the hide function properly like before? I mean it's not only a big no-no if you can not hide being rooted from Tencent (**** em, I play 95 % of the time New State now and I'm very optimistic and happy to see what they've achieved since release day!). It's crucial for me to be able to use national digital ID app, banking apps and maybe others that shouldn't give a fk but somehow feel like they want or need to (virtue signaling?). Example being McDonalds and other silly ROFLMAO companies afraid of customers that prefer true control over their own, bought and paid for device.

i'm able to get 70-120 fps in pubgm on oos 11 without any additional configurations. I am pretty sure that on oos 11 you can use autohz from play store (paid) to make any app run on 120hz with adb and without root. But if you're on oos 12 you can try this app with the first option, it just applies and doesn't have a confirm button. if the phone overheat or is in low battery mode it will run at or below 60 fps regardless of what settings you've made.

Hahahahaha, the good ol McDonald's reference. That's a good way to put it lol
Don't you be worrying about the masisk hide capabilities. The main guy did leave magisk but I think he left his stuff in good hands. And the fact that he did all of this completely free for the rooting community makes him a living legend tbh.
By the way I have no issues with my safety net, banking apps or the fear of losing my tencent account. I've been using this module for 5-6 months now with no issues.
I did try Tencent's New estate recently when it came out, but was extremely disappointed with the gameplay. There's no official 90fps (ofc I was expecting that) and the general interface is buggy af. It didn't even reach 60 fps most of the time, so I uninstalled it after a few days. I wonder if they clarified some of the bugs and the inconsistent frame rate issues.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. Alright, maybe I will try out one of the custom roms. Any suggestions?
I recommend you to revisit New state. They have patched and worked hard in this short time and I really like the game now. 90 fps not available (for me at least ATM, probably its pending to be implemented in the game as a whole soon). I enjoy it more than PUBGM now, but it took quite a few matches of bot lobbys where you roam around like a zombie and get 16 kills without even focusing. Once you reach a higher rank the matches are very enjoying and competetive.

There are many custom roms out here for the 9 Pro, android 11 and 12. Most of them are very stable according to many users but for me personally, the absence of OOS camera made me stay on OOS11. I've been installing custom roms on my phones since my first android, so the urge to eff everything and just flash the latest android 12 is very real.
Most of the users are very impressed by the daily use experiences of the roms with very minimal bugs.
Paranoid android seems to be the most stable atm with a very pixel like usage experience. I'll let you know if I can gather the courage to ignore the oos cam and just flash it.
Motion graphics smoothing is another major feature which I'll miss alot if I shift to custom.

Screw customs then for now, I just updated to 12. Gonna root.

How's your experience? Any bugs? (Major/minor)
And did u flash global C.40?
Coz I have EU 9 pro and don't want to go through the hasstle of converting my current OS to global and then updating to OOS12.
I just don't know if its stable enough as a daily driver
