Just uploading initial build, will be up in some minutes. Initial build uploaded.
First boot takes a while because i had to disable dex-preoptimization as it caused bootloop while connecting to WiFi.
Hello @Android-Andi,
first of all thank you for all you're doing to support tunas.
Here are two bugs I'm actually aware:
- green lines and artifacts previewing mpeg4 videos in gallery (just the static image, play them is OK)
- if you try to add a photo to owner profile in settings, phone reboots when saving image
Attached full boot logcat with both these bugs triggered.
Thanks again

Tested on toro, working as expected. Meaning, everything works except mobile data for me. Behavior is exactly the same as Unlegacy 7, so no surprises there. I'm on Page Plus (a Verizon MVNO) and that complicates things sometimes. Still, I was hoping that maybe it would just magically work on Slim7. Oh well... Thanks anyway, it is a very sweet ROM!
It shouldn't complicate things at all

With PP now being a VZW MVNO, it shouldn't complicate anything (as long as your are running toro hardware). I took my toro to Tracfone (a split MVNO - between T-Mobile and VZW), and went specifically to the VZW side of things (two reasons - T-Mobile has always had signal issues here - or anywhere else, and VZW has Just Plain Worked - I'm a former VZW prepaid customer). Page Plus used to be a pager AND cellular service provider - with their own towers. I'm running Slim 7 beta because I wanted an SELinux enforcing ROM that ran N on my hardware; so far, Slim 7 is the only such. Even Lineage OS 14.1 (also unofficial) dropped back and punted to permissive - not enforcing. I won't touch MM with a ten-foot pair of chopsticks because performance bites compared to N on toro.
Followup - Slim 7 is now updating apps - all 77 of them from a previous ROM. Even better, for the first time on N, SafetyNet works (nothing broke it). I ran into a solvable problem with Android Pay, though - my VISA debit card doesn't support it (Android Pay, that is); rather amusingly, it DOES support VISA Checkout. Fortunately, that means that all I need to find is a debit card that DOES support Android Pay - time to warm up my Google-fu. (As expected, the Google-fu paid off; two banks near me have multiple branches where I can apply (and even pick up) a prepaid card on the spot - PNC and Wells Fargo (AKA Stagecoach Bank), and their prepaid cards are SPECIFICALLY supported by Android Pay. Rather oddly, a whole lot of prepaid cards are specifically denied - and from BIG banks, at that - CITI and AMEX tell their prepaid clients to hold the phone/phablet/tablet and don't even bother to try their prepaid cards. In addition to PNC and Wells, Bank of America says "si" to prepaid and Android Pay - the minus (for BOfA) is that they aren't the closest bank branch - rather amusingly, the closest bank branch where I can get a prepaid card used to be, in fact, a BOfA branch - it was acquired by PNC when BOfA did "the great branch thindown" in several states - and I don't live in either North Carolina (the current HQ of BOfA) or San Francisco (the historical beginning of BOfA and, interestingly, what is now VISA USA (originally BankAmeriCard).

There used to be no difference between the settings for PP and VZW, but on October 31, 2016, Page Plus switched from Verizon's APN to Tracfone's APNs. This 'should' get updated automatically in our phones., but it doesn't because something is broken between our old RIL and any version of Android newer than KitKat. So it may be possible that data could 'just work' for a standard VZW activation yet be broken for me.
I never knew PP did anything other than re-sell VZW, that is interesting.

I'm on the VZW half of Tracfone; hence it mattering exactly diddly. In fact, the reason it doesn't matter for me as that I use mostly wi-fi for data (as I don't exactly have a high-cap data plan with Tracfone) - instead, I use wi-fi for data. Do you have cable-TV? Check to see if your cable-TV provider has a connection to a network of hotspots. (Comcast XFINITY, Cox Communications, and Spectrum have the Hotspot Network - literally, a network of hotspots which customers of all three cable TV companies can access via login from their respective apps (available on Google Play). The Android APKs (also available for iOS devices) work on any Android device - I have Comcast's version of the app on both my phone AND my tablet - it was on my tablet first (since I've had it longer than my phone) - and my tablet is NOT a phablet. SMS and MMS can be used over wi-fi as well; you just can't use Google Hangouts (as it doesn't support wi-fi). However, Google Messenger does - which is why it's on my tablet. (Rather amusingly, VZW Message+ can be used over wi-fi as well - it's also available on Google Play - at a cost of nil.)
As far as things being broke in the transition, that's on PagePlus - not you, and not even Tracfone, either.
I came back to post yet another followup - Magisk 12 DOES work on Slim 7, as does both Masisk SU for root (and Magisk Hide, to handle SafetyNet breakage due to being rooted).:victory::victory::victory:
I have uploaded a 2nd build silently which contains ffmpeg support (previous build was missing a small part). @musical_chairs yeah, i already thought Verizon still has broken mobile data here too, maybe we'll find a solution later.

Very interesting, not only because safetynet works on @Android-Andi build but because it works also in my Slim7 home builds when it instead fails in UA7 builds. Both my builds are userdebug and uses the same UA staging kernel, so safetynet failure in UA7 seems not related to kernel or build type... any idea someone?
Sorry for OT, bye.

Thanks, the only thing I've noticed is some artifacts on the edges of the boot animation. Didn't notice them on first boot but maybe I wasn't paying close attention.
Oh, and night light doesn't work but I think that's an issue with unlegacy. Cf.lumen only works in nonroot mode as well.
Feels snappier than the Dirty Unicorn builds too.
Thanks for this Andi.
I too saw the artifacts on the boot animation, but this will serve nicely as a backup car music player.
I wouldn't be able to test mobile data until my Verizon G4 bootloops.
I'm trying Substratum. I can apply themes per-app with the FloatUI, but when I try from the main interface it fails and fc, so some important system elements cannot be themed.
EDIT: tried versions 703 and 706

That's because slim roms haven't merged OMS commits AFAIK.. you will see "substratum legacy" on app, that means you can't theme system elements, or it will end in bootloop or force close failures.. theming any user apps will be fine..?

Substratum says this ROM uses OMS7.
And I think it does because with the FloatUI I can change the theme per-app on the fly, without rebooting as I had to do with stock MM in the past.
Slim is missing the ThemeInterfacer. I tried to add a pre-built ThemeInterfacer.apk (v.50), it was recognised but didn't work.

In my case,
All overlayers got installed without any errors and without themeinterfacer, but no changes took place, nowhere, not even in user apps, in substratum app it shows "up to date" but nothing change.. then tried floating button and most of apps got themed and some system elements too (without FC or any errors)...
PS. When nothing got themed then i added interfacer and then tried floater...

Same here, but if you try to enable an overlay from the "Overlay list", under Utilities, Substratum will fc.

After I tried to add ThemeInterfacer Substratum detected it but couldn't install any overlay any more, so I removed it.
It seems that we see the same things. My problem was that I like black themes, so with just some system elements themed I found myself with white text on white background somewhere, and black on black somewhere else. Since FloatUI just let you set overlays for current elements I didn't know how to let it select some important missing elements. But I found a workaround for the SystemUI and QuickSettings: disable SlimRecents and use the FloatUI in the stock Recents menu!
I've also been able to select Google Play Services from the Google Settings.
Now I'm satisfied with my theme.
Didn't even know nougat was possible for GNex. This is pretty sick. Question... Any way to do a Toro version? Cheers!!;

Just got this downloaded now and going to give it a spin. I am not using data, as I primarily let the kids use this device to play games, take pictures, etc. The fact that we can get the latest and great android working on a 5 year old device is just awesome. If I see any issues other that what is reported I'll post back. Big thanks!!
Had some trouble getting Google Play Services to work. Reflashed ROM and GApps, and it fired right up after that. So far everything is running as it should. I put an old Verizon sim in the phone to see if it would at least recognize Verizon, and it did. Device is very smooth and the animations are crisp/work as they should. I do notice a little bit of lag swiping up for unlocking the device, and then it takes a second to get into the device after I enter the pin. Other than that, this is pretty dope. Battery charged fairly quickly too. I'll have the rug rats put it through the paces when I get home tonight, but excellent, excellent work!
I just ordered a OP 7T (T-Mobile version), and while I'm not new to OnePlus (my wife has a 6T), it's *my* first OP device. I come from using Samsung devices for a few years (S6 Plus, 7, now a 9). I've read much about the 7T, read and viewed many reviews, but I'd like to know what tips from daily users I should have in mind.
Thanks!
Welcome to the smoothness. Make sure you enable 90hz from settings as soon as you get the phone in hand if it's not turned on. It doesn't affect the battery that much. So no need to worry about that.
And if you are familiar with bootloader unlocking and rooting and wanna try that i should say wait for the TWRP recovery to come. Then this 7t section would be flooded with popular custom roms; hopefully.

I sure hope so. My wife's 6T has been a great phone so far, and I expect the 7T to serve well.
May I ask which issues did you encounter? And were you able to solve them?
I came from a Galaxy S9 to the 7t in November. I need dual SIM capability so I do not have to carry two devices. I use a TMO SIM and an AT&T SIM and need band 71 support. Generally, Android devices sold in the US do not support dual SIMs, and dual SIM devices which can be purchased internationally do not support many US bands.
The device was easy to set up, works very well, and I have not had any of the issues others have reported. VOLTE & Wi-Fi calling work well on TMO but not AT&T, but that's an AT&T issue and not the problem of One Plus. I currently run the Open Beta 2 build. I bought the North American version from One Plus directly which supports all current US TMO & ATT bands. Both providers work well in this phone and I am very happy with the device overall.
I wear a Galaxy watch, and integration works just as well as it did with my Galaxy phone.

Thanks for your feedback! I also found the 7T easy to set up, as I did with my wife's 6T. I manually configured Nova Launcher to avoid cross-brand backup/restore issues, and so far no issues there also. I did notice some widgets are no longer available, but I found alternatives. All apps are working as intended.
You mentioned you are running the Open Beta Build 2. Does OnePlus allow to easily fall back to the current release build if needed or wanted? I use the T-Mobile version of the 7T if it matters. Also, how is the Beta working? I have never used beta OS versions on my previous devices (never could register in a timely way with the S9), and am curious how OP hangles this.

The Open Beta 2 works well for me. I like it. Good thing, because if I were to go back to stable I would need to wipe my phone, which is not something that is very easy to do. The 7t is a good phone. I'm not sure what the one poster's issue is, but it's likely a one off or an operator's issue.
Open Beta 3 is more stable than Stable 10.0.9, based on my experience and usage.
I did a few things when I got my 7T:
1. Unlock Bootloader, install Magisk to get root.
2. Install Nacho Notch, which makes the status bar all black, all the time and it's really nice to see the icons up there but nothing else.
3. Install my 3rd party gesture app, Vivid N.G. This allows me to use bottom gestures with massive customization. And no stupid "swipe from side" back gesture. Who thought that would be a good idea?
4. Replace launcher with Nova.
5. Install Swift Backup and restore all my apps from old phone.
6. Install and configure AdAway to block ads on a system-level.
7. Install Substratum and theme Oxygen with Liv Dark theme.
8. Replace OnePlus dialer with Google dialer (using Magisk module).
9. Install GCam and Magisk module for enabling auxiliary cameras. This provides much better photos over the stock OnePlus camera app!
I'm planning to switch to OmniROM soon since I just can't stand OxygenOS. Not that it's a bad OS by any means, just that I prefer AOSP.

You just brought me back in time to when I had my Galaxy S4, that's when I heavily got into rooting, modding, tinkering with kernels, alternative OS builds, etc.
Of all your mods/steps, at least I installed Nova Launcher, been using it for many years now.

yes. works very well (as long as you install all 3 parts of sandboxed play services). I would maybe wait a few days before installing it on the Pixel 6. but using A12 on my 3xl and everything works, photos, gboard, official gcam (all running with network access disabled).
Also, GrapheneOS for Pixel 6 still says Experimental on their download page (it might just need to be updated). But if you're okay with maybe experiencing some bugs, it should work fine (but as stated above, most should wait a few days, they're very good on updating - especially the first few weeks after release)
Good to hear about... will be watching! cheers
I basically bought my P6P for this, so I'm extremely happy development is moving forward! Really hoping that, when a stable version is out, it will be possible to use the phone "normally" with it. Keep it up, Graphene team!
I'm with @Alex-Absolute I purchased my P6 just for GrapheneOS support, coming from a string of OnePlus devices. Though I am going to wait until it's listed as stable to switch, I'm excited they have a working build going!
I've got the release page in Windows' Aignes Website-Watcher, set to look for changes after "Pixel 6 Pro" and before "Version", so I should know when it changes to Stable.

I used GrapheneOS on my 4a during most of the Experimental days, and i did not experience 1 hicup. I would compare their Experimental Builds to Android 12 Beta. So it's nothing to be afraid of. It's definitely ready for daily use in my own opinion....
Are there any screenshots of this OS? I always like trying new things but I'm thinking there isn't much to look at that would be different from a standard Android OS

You're welcome, I'm using the free version - it's been around for a very long time on Windows, and I'm using the Android app which appears to more or less sync with the Windows version through Dropbox, if you have or create an account with Dropbox. It doesn't work perfectly for me, but I at least get notifications on my phone about the same changes in websites that the Windows program lets me know about - so I at least know that I should get on the computer and look to see what's new.
Sorry to anyone for the OT - I have lots of Android-related sites set to give me notifications of changes through this program.
The non-free version is a little pricey for my needs.

What I read about that is that its not experimental in the "unstable" sense, its that they haven't fully implemented the security enhancements.

Good question. Last time I looked into it, AA was a no-go. Guess there's only one way to find out. I'll report back later if it works or not
UPDATE: Still a no-go. I just receive an error that the AA protocol isn't supported. Guess I'll go back to compromising my privacy for the sake of convenience while driving.
Other than that+call screeening, this build is solid for an "experimental" build (Tbh they could have put the stable flag on this, but I assume they are waiting for bug reports before doing so). If anyone is looking for a good de-Googling solution, this is it.

Despite the hassle and increased expense, perhaps one of those Carplay AI boxes like Apple Pi might be the necessary workaround?
I'm very interested in this OS, but I too rely on carplay/auto as a general rule while driving. If I have to outsource my maps and music to an external box in order to have more comprehensive device security, that might just be the way it has to be.

UPDATE: Still a no-go. I just receive an error that the AA protocol isn't supported. Guess I'll go back to compromising my privacy for the sake of convenience while driving.

Thank you for reporting. As curious as I am about this OS, this rules this out for me too. Been using AA for almost four years now and I'm hooked.
I want privacy, but I cannot live without syncing all my stuff together. Is this OS for me?
Hey all, just wondering if anyone has found a way to get IOS emojis working on the P6 or P6P... emojis are my only gripe with Android, IOS emojis are just so much better to me. I had previously used a Magisk module during my time with the OnePlus 7 Pro, however, that same module which worked flawlessly for about two years is seemingly struggling due to A12 I presume. When I originally installed the module, it did work, but after a reboot or two they disappeared and I can't seem to get them back. If anyone has any possible solutions or thoughts that would be great, thanks!

I had a similar issue. I ended up going into /data/fonts/files and deleting everything inside. It seems like emojis are downloaded now or something, but I am not sure.
At first, this did not work and I did a clean wipe. iOS emoji have been working fine for me now.
GBoard displays the iOS emoji and so do most apps. Google's text messaging app does not, but I think this is due to changes in the app itself and not the system.
Going into /data/fonts/files and wiping it clean and then reinstalling the IOS emoji Magisk module and rebooting seems to have done the trick, it's all working now, thank you for the help and ideas!

You can install Font Manager which will allow you to install custom emojis and fonts systemwide from various phone manufacturers.
Check it out if interested.

That's the spamiest, scamiest option I've seen.
"Forget your magisk modules, just use these ad-infested, login-required, paywalled, extremely dubious installs and give it superuser permissions!"

All my AR stickers from early Pixels are gone. Didn't Google delete that whole concept before the Pixel 4?

You are correct, I didn't know that.
Google won't support Playground and AR Stickers on newer Pixel phones
Google Playground and its AR Stickers won't be happening on the Pixel 4a or future Pixels. The features will still get support on current models, though.
www.androidauthority.com
First of all, both my pixel 2 xl and pixel 4 xl can use stickers normally.I searched a lot of posts. Since the pixel 5, stickers have been cancelled.But from the entry of the sticker that can be displayed by installing a third-party Google camera, although you can’t click it, it can be concluded that Google should cancel the sticker entry in the latest version of the camera. So I think there may be a certain version of third-party Google Camera that supports stickers. We can look for it together. Or is there a master who can make a module that can be directly activated in the native camera?I really hope to use stickers on pixel 6! ! !
Go to the Xda Pixel 4a Themes & Apps forum, there I have posted my modded APK file of a FULLY WORKING Playground for all Pixel devices...

Gotcha. I own a 4A, and was disappointed at the fact that Google discontinued Playground for the 4a, & all future pixels, so I created a clone of the APK file, removed some permissions out of the manifest, and got it fully working on the 4a (other than accessing it from the camera app, you have to actually manually create a shortcut to the modded Playground and add it to the homescreen), I'll see if I can do some more tinkering..

First of all, thank you very much for your hard work and dedication! I finally opened the playground on Pixel 6 Pro! Thank you so much! I followed your method and created a shortcut on the pixel launcher using the shortcut creater. I also entered the playground through this shortcut. After entering, he will pop up some permission prompts, I allow them all. After testing, short press to take a photo after adding a sticker works well, but long press to take a video will cause a crash. I don't know why, please help me!
My Phone is pixel 6 Pro based on Android 12.
