Face Unlock much slower after today's update =(

After updating to 43 OTA 004, Faceunlock is no longer instant. now you see first the lockscreen flash and then UI slide in. I went back to 43 OTA 003, but same situation.
before it was just press powerbutton/doubletap screen and the screen turned on showing instantly UI whereever you left off. just like all the reviewers showed it. I dont have file to go back to inital firmware 001 .... :/
VERY DISAPPOINTING, it really breaks the "instant" feeling. hope they fix it soon.
meanwhile, no speed increase in fingerprint reader. still slightly slower than OP3.
UPDATE: solved - it is Nova Launcher with a custom wallpaper that caused this -> back to Oneplus launcher, set new wallpaper = FaceUnlock instant again!

Not a terrible trade-off for more security.
FP sensor still fast af.

reason for posting it here is to find out if anyone else experiencing this

ewww i hope not, then there is no difference than what was on the OP3/T smart lock, i liked the option that u didn't have to swipe up, i will prob return mine if this is the case.

thanks, ok then i did something to cause it... hm too bad

Here on 4.7.2 its also slow.

I had the same problem and factory reset: face unlock is back to being instant, and the finger print reader is noticeably faster. It is troublesome, however, that an OTA forced me to factory reset a 3 day old phone...

I have also reset after update but not solved.

I updated homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper with a custom one and experienced a slight drop on face unlock speed. Meaning that I was able to see the lockscreen for 1/10 of a second before the homescreen was there. I reverted the wallpaper choosing one of oneplus 's and face unlock speed was back to instant. Just a tip.

Works fine for me. I'm on FreedomOS based on Oxygen 4.7.2.

Rom with always on display?

Does anyone know of a rom that has always on display? I was going to go with codename phoenix but it has been discontinued and I don't know of another one.

Omni has it. Codename Phoenix is still being built, just no dedicated support. It's rock solid loaded with features.
Also, there is a substratum theme that supports it as well.

I believe it works in all the 8.1 Roms as long as you flash the OOS Oreo firmware.

As mentioned apparently you can enable this feature on the 8.1 only.
I use Always on Amoled from the store or glance plus. They both work well.

Yeah glance plus I use for me is the best solution i found but still some issues with glance but not big deal the final experience is pretty good

The Always on Display in OmniRom is flawless.

You are alright im not developer but probably don't have the same functionality as ambient display backed in a rom. Probably if you give all the permission and accessibility probably work as we want but i don't want to give every permission to the app im. Waiting for a good rom baked but for now it's ok

Choosing custom ROM

Hey guys. Time to switch custom for me and at the moment I"m choosing between RR vs Dirty Unicorns vs Nitrogen. Really need help choosing (comments, experience, pros and cons). I know, I can flash all of them and choose, but first I don't want to spent so much time and 2nd it's always better to start with best one.
Thanks.

Even if you found someone who will bite, "best" is based on your own criteria. In my case I liked AquariOS the best but that's just me. I'm actually back on stock as I dig the squeeze function and the easy monthly updates. Once I get tired of stock again I'm sure I'll be back on AquariOS as it was rock solid and fit me like a glove. Just my 2 cents...

It's hard to say which Rom is best , only way to find out which one you prefer is to flash and see. I've tried Aquarios , Dirty Unicorns, Nitrogen , and am currently on Pixel Dust , which is a really nice rom too., i really like how it comes with Black amoled theme ... all are very good roms and you can't go wrong with any of these ,I also really wanna give Resurrection Remix a run too, as that was one of my favorites on my galaxy s5 days , but i'm on may security patch , so patiently waiting for an update for that rom and Aquarios . :good:

I've only run DU, but can tell you it is solid. DU coupled with Flash kernel and I haven't run into an issue yet that wasn't user error, get around 5 hrs SOT, but I'm on it a lot
That said, cust Roms are like batt life; the best, most accurate comparison is done on your own device, using your individual setup.

This is the 1st phone that I am completely content to stay on stock with custome kernel with Xposed.
Xposed Edge, Android Pify, uniformed transitions and gravity box will give you all if not more features.
For themeing Substratum + andromeda.
Plus xprivacy to block analytics from facebook, instagram, etc...
Adaway + youtube vanced. Plus active edge app customization with edge sense plus.

You should have a poll option for "All of the above"! That's my vote...

Carbon is absolutely phenomenal.

Full OMS support, fully functioning Now Playing, Carbon gestures to name a few.

Dev preview 3 drops in a couple days, I'm guessing mid next week if you want to wait a bit for a more stable release.
The things for me are all the usability improvements; volume slider, gestures, etc

Flash kernel
Quick settings is a combination of
"nougat / oreo quick settings" to add specific tiles
"Substratum + subtweaks" - to change how many tiles are in the drop down quick settings
"SystemUI tuner" to change the number of quick settings in the first row when there are notifications in the pulldown.

Xposed edge is an app that requires xposed framework. The app has so many things it can do. I use it for gestures.
Edge sense is working on stock oreo. Not sure about P.
Here are a couple.photos of how the gestures I have setup.
There is never a navbar on screen so the whole screen is used.

[Discussion] Which ROM are you guys using and why are you using it?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know which rom you are using and the reason behind it.
I am using xiaomi.eu 10.2 stable, I am basically using it because of stability. I previously used pixel experience for a while, it was a bit of a hassle to boot it up.Since the dev was inactive and the rom had some bugs I had to use miui which I am not a big fan of.
The goal of this discussion is to find out if anyone is using stock android like roms without any issues.
Thanks

I have the Chinese device, with the Chinese developer vendor image. Installation was just the usual, flash vendor image, flash rom, format data, flash Magisk.

Stock global, because I think MIUI is cool, and I bought this phone for that.

That's about where I was, other than the notification nightmare which made it close to unusable for me. I just couldn't see the point, my conclusion being it's designed for people who like themes, which aren't my cup of tea.

Yeah notifications are a disaster. I thought MIUI was cool and I have all the pixel XL devices too, so I have choices.
Sent from my Mi MIX 3 using Tapatalk

There are a couple apps for which I get notifications but no sound, most notably Google Keep and Settle Up. Other than that, I don't have major issue with notifications since 10.2 update.

Stock Chinese ROM with Nova Launcher Prime for me. I like the lack of Google trash, like Chrome, not being needed to use and access the Play Store. Literally the most bloat-free experience after uninstalling the Chinese bloat that isn't needed.

Dev eu rom. Since the first release. Happy with it. No problem at all.

Cn device with global Rom, I like MIUI battery management last all day with heavy use.

Xiaomi.eu weekly with Nova prime on top.
I really like it and notifications work fine it is just a little bit annoying that you have to set app specific settings for them to work properly though.

Guys what's the notification issue you're talking about?
Im on global miui too but i dont know exactly what it is?

Which messaging app are you using? For me, I could never get notifications to work properly with Google Messages, and with the native Messages app, group messaging didn't work, nor does it have a desktop interface. This may have improved with the more recent releases, but Pixel Experience was so good I have no need to bother trying MIUI again (the other big thing it was missing is the smart unlock functionality).

The only thing I'll regret in stock android is the full screen gesture. I love it in miui

Question Can you guys help me pick a stock android 12 rom to flash?

My Poco f3 is my daily driver and I can't test lots of rooms rn and I was wondering if you guys tested different roms and would be so kind as to recommend a rom. My most important feature is to be able to unlock just by fingerprint touch or press (as in without the need to double tap/wake up the screen first). Also a totally black (not gray) dark mode is important
Thank you in advance

Yeah features and customization without diminishing stability or battery life

I use Evolution X but it's Android 13.
It has a Black Mode and lots of customization. It's a Pixel ROM so it also has Pixel-exclusive system apps and features. I can recommend it It also receives frequent updates and has a big community on Telegram.
The question is, do you want a simple AOSP ROM or a Pixel ROM with more features and customization.

Yes, this is the default behaviour when having set-up a Fingerprint.
Doesn't every ROM do this by default? I think even MIUI. You can also configure to only scan for Fingerprint when Screen on, on Evolution-X too.

Probably yeah. its just that the last few roms I tested on my last device you had to turn screen on first. possibly bc they were early releases and scanner was under display but I gave up on stock android ever since mainly bc of that so I'm sure
