[I9305] Advanced Tips and Tricks for i9305 - Galaxy S III General

Hi all,
I'd just like to make a post to summarize all the tips and tricks on the device. Suggestions are welcome! I'll try to be concise that this guide is geared towards the I9305/T variant of the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Before You Begin
A couple of things you should be aware of before you begin doing these advanced tips and tricks. I'll list them here and their related posts.
Backup / Restore your device's IMEI / NV Data
Partition Table and Layouts
Steps to reverse your device to stock condition
Backup / Restore IMEI / NV Data
Reason why you would do this is because, for every device, it has a unique IMEI / NV Data area which are used to identify your cellular phone for a phone service provider. Without these information backed up or that you have accidentally wiped/deleted these data, your phone will be rendered as a media player and file storage device without any calling capability. You've been warned!
Store the dumped IMEI / NV Data image in a safe place (not your SD card! somewhere more remote, like Dropbox or email)

ROM
There are two types of ROM we can list here - specifically, official ROMs and unofficial (tweaked) ROM.
official roms will not set your flash counter, in which you can still take your device back to samsung for a repair during warranty.
unofficial roms will set your flash counter +1, in which you can probably still take your device back to samsung, but they can still officially refuse to do so since you have modified your device in an unconventional way.
There is an exception to this rule, in which flashing an unofficial ROM through Odin can still retain your flash counter: to use a pre-rooted image. Information here:
[ROMS] Updated: 17/10/2012 - Pre-Rooted / Original Stock Odin Packages!
Another way to submit your device back to samsung AFTER you have used unofficial ROM is to use TriangleAway, which is an application that are installable as a regular android application, in order to reset the counter. The application is developed by a well-known developer - ChainFire. Please support him by purchasing the donated version!
[TOOL] Triangle Away (Now supports GT-I9305]
Now back to unofficial Samsung ROMs; Currently all the roms that are customized were created from a subset of existing official ROMs that are released officially and unofficially, with added features such as root, busybox, deodex/zipalign, themes, notification bar mods, camera and gallery mods, to name a few. Feel free to roam in this same subforum to find out the latest and newest tweaks!
As of now, there is no CM / MIUI / AOKP based roms that are available, but they should be relatively easy to port over, since its architecture is relatively similar to the little brother of ours - the I9300. There are a few devs rubbing their hands to get this done! Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Kernel
As of now there is 1 customized kernel built for our device - Perseus by AndreiLux, which allows overclock/underclocking. Siyah Kernel is also in progress for our device, as Gokhanmoral had anticipated that there will be a release in the near future.
----
p.s. As for tips and tricks for modifying your device, I'll post a consolidated list later here!

Again,
this is not a dev thread. Moved to general

official jellybean 4.1.1 for the galaxy s3

hi guys just thought id let you all know that samsung has officially released jellybean 4.1.1 for the galaxy s3 in poland !!!
those of you that are patiently waiting for this update wait now more.
How to Update Galaxy S3 to Official XXDLIB Android 4.1 Firmware
[Important] If you flash this firmware over a custom ROM or a Galaxy S3 from another country than Poland, you might need to wipe the data on the phone to make the firmware boot up properly <<< (i did not wipe my data and it flashed perfectly
To be sure you do not lose any data, backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you. The SD card contents are always safe, so there is no need to back up those. Only backup apps and personal data.
NOTE: Don’t forget to at least note down your network’s APN settings, which are required to make mobile data work. Go into Settings » More » Mobile Networks, click on the APN that is in use, then note down the setting for each field. While APN settings should be automatically restored from network, you can enter them manually if needed to make mobile data work. You can also find your APN details → here.
Download and install the software Kies on your computer, which will install the necessary drivers for the phone.
Download Kies
You can also download the drivers directly — download from here: 32 bit (x86) Windows | 64-bit (x64) Windows
Download the firmware.
Download XXDLIB | Alternate Link | Filename: GT-I9300_XEO_1_20120922093900_w8pdod73hi.zip
Extract the GT-I9300_XEO_1_20120922093900_w8pdod73hi.zip file on the computer to obtain a file named I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar.md5 (ignore the file named SS_DL.dll).
Download the Odin PC software. If you are new to this, Odin is what is used to flash stuff – firmware, kernels, etc. – on Samsung phones. We’ll use Odin to flash the firmware file obtained in step 4.
Download Odin3 v3.04 | Filename: Odin3_v3.04.zip
Extract the contents of the Odin3_v3.04.zip file to a folder on your computer.
Now, turn off your Galaxy S3 and wait for it to shut down completely.
Then, put the phone into download mode. To do so, press and hold these keys together: Volume Down + Home + Power till the screen turns on. Then press Volume Up to enter download mode.
Open Odin by double-clicking on the Odin3 v3.04.exe file obtained in step 6 after extracting Odin3_v3.04.zip.
Important! Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added !!” under Odin’s message box in the bottom left.
If you don’t get this message, make sure you installed drivers correctly (using Kies or directly) as given in step 2. If it still doesn’t work, try changing to another USB port on the computer and also use the USB ports on the back if you have a desktop PC.
Click on the PDA button in Odin, then browse to and select the I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar.md5 file obtained in step 4 above.
Important! Do not make any other changes in Odin !!!. Leave all other options as they are. Make sure Re-Partition check box is not selected.
Now, click the Start button to start flashing the firmware on your phone. When the flashing is complete and is successful, you’ll get a PASS message (with green background) in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin, and the phone will automatically reboot. When you see the Samsung logo, you can safely unplug the cable.
IF you have any questions or you get stuck let me know

[S4 ACTIVE/RECOVERY LOCKED] Safestrap Recovery v3.65/v3.73 [KK BETA 2014-06-02]

*** DISCLAIMER ***
I work on projects that may brick your device. Don't sue me, hate me or try and kill my dog if that happens. I will feel bad the community will feel bad and hopefully we'll find a way to get you going again. But, the very nature of my projects involves a certain amount of risk taken by YOU. And by using the projects that I work on, you've accepted that fact.
WARNING #1: CURRENTLY THERE IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
WARNING #2: BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ODIN FILES FOR MF3, DO NOT FLASH THE STOCK ROM AT ALL. PLAY IT SAFE AND USE ROM-SLOTS.
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
v3.72 (TW4.4): Beta testing, no rom-slots
v3.65 (TW4.2): Stable
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.6.1.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (2 on the S4 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for different sizes of /data partitions. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
For more information you can read up here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Root
[NEW FOR KK/v3.73] Install Busybox via the Play Store (Busybox Free Installer)
[NEW FOR KK/v3.73] Remove XPOSED framework for the Safestrap install. It causes conflicts sometimes. Can re-install afterward.
Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources
Download the Safestrap APK
Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".
(If updating from an existing Safestrap you might be warned that this will over-write the existing installation. Click the "Yes" equivalent to this message.)
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
That's it for the installation! Read below for a brief overview of Safestrap Recovery v3.x
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press under the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting.
By "under", I mean on the touch key portion of the front display on either side of the center button.
KNOWN ISSUES:
[v3.73] ROM-SLOTs aren't supported yet
[v3.73] "Reboot Recovery" doesn't work in the APK (? -- need verified)
NEW TO v3.73:
TWRP 2.7.0.x update for the base recovery. This includes vibration support, backup time/date fixes and more.
ROM-SLOTs now have a 16gb size limit (vs 4gb previously) [THEY DON'T WORK YET IN KK THO SO BE PATIENT]
DOWNLOADS:
CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE USING AN AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 ACTIVE
MAKE SURE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING TO v3.7x FROM v3.65 THAT YOU USE THE "UNINSTALL RECOVERY" BUTTON IN THE v3.65 APK BEFORE INSTALLING v3.7x.
NOTE: USE ONLY ROMS THAT MATCH UP WITH YOUR TOUCHWIZ VERSION. IF YOU'RE ON TW4.2 USE SS3.65 AND ONLY USE TW4.2 ROMS. IF ON TW4.4 USE SS3.73 AND ONLY USE TW4.4 ROMS
FIND YOUR STOCK OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION BELOW AND USE THAT FILENAME:

As of version 3.7x, Safestrap Recovery is now based on TWRP 2.7.x.x. For more on TWRP you can visit their website: http://www.teamw.in/
WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.

MAIN MENU:
Boot Options: This area is for managing your virtual ROM-slots. You create a new ROM-slot by clicking on one and if it doesn't exist you will be prompted to create it. Follow the on-screen guides. Once a ROM-slot is created you select that slot to activate or delete it. Under each ROM slot (once created) you can:
Activate: Makes the chosen ROM-slot the "current" one, where almost all of the features of TWRP affect that slot. This will also be the ROM that is booted.
Set Nickname: For convenience you can set a small name for each ROM-slot. This is limited to 10 characters as it will eventually be added to the beginning of backup names. This name is shown on the ROM-slot button once it is set.
Check FS: This performs a file system checks on the ROM-slot and fixes any errors found.
Delete: Delete the ROM-slot files (disabled if the ROM is active — please choose another ROM-slot to activate and then come back) USE WITH CAUTION, THERE'S NO GETTING THESE BACK UNLESS YOU HAVE BACKUPS.
Install: This is for flashing a .zip file to the currently active system. Currently, this is disabled for the stock system. In a future release I will enable flashing to the stock system.
Backup / Restore: This should be self-explanitory, but you use these options for making backups of the currently selected system. Or restoring a previously made backup to the currently selected system (regardless of where you backed it up from). DON'T RESTORE A CUSTOM ROM-SLOT BACKUP TO THE STOCK ROM. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Mount: You can manually manage mounts here. NOTE: the "system", "data" and "cache" mounts will use the currently selected ROM-slot.
Wipe: Manually erase portions of the device. NOTE: You only have 1 internal and 1 external SD card. These are not "virtual" if you erase them. They are gone. Use with caution. Wiping the "system" when "stock" ROM is selected will try and keep the Safestrap hijack in place.
Advanced:
Copy Log to SD: Experienced something odd and want to report it? DO THIS and include the log when you send me the report. Otherwise, the recovery.log will disappear when you reboot.
Fix Permissions: This can fix up ROMs which are displaying odd force close issues, etc. You will probably never need to do this.
Partition SD Card: You can add ext3 partitions to the external SD card if you want. I'm not sure we have much of a need for this on our devices.
File Manager: This works like any other file manager inside Android. You can thank the TWRP people for this, because it is quite possibly one of the best features I've ever seen in a recovery.
Terminal Command: Also very handy for those once in a while moments when you have to do something via terminal but don't have adb handy. USE WITH CAUTION
Settings:
Here you can turn on and off signature verification of .zip files
Force MD5 sum checks on .zip files prior to flashing
"Use rm -rf instead of formatting" this may or may not be checked in Safestrap, but the key partitions which are signed and cannot be truely formatted will automatically use this feature
There are a few other checkbox options in here. Please know what you are doing.
Simulate most actions for theme testing. If you have this checked, Safestrap/TWRP will not perform most actions but show the dialog boxes so you can review theme elements. If you turn this on, it STAYS ON till you turn it off. And will show "SIMULATING ACTIONS" up top.
Set the Time Zone (use "Set Time Zone" button after choosing which time zone you want)
Restore Defaults. Use this to reset all options back to default as it came when you installed for the first time. Does not erase backups or ROM-slots, tho it might change the active slot.
Reboot: Choose from 2 options for rebooting "System" which performs a reset/reboot of the device and "Power Off" which turns the device off.
Reserved
KNOWN ISSUES:
Bluetooth remote control isn't working on rom-slots.

Added the ATT ACTIVE MF3 stock kernel modules to the downloads section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=681#downloads
If you're on the locked MF3 build: Keep these on the device and flash them after any ROMs that are installed. They will sync up the kernel modules and restore wifi, bt, etc.
Do we need those modules for MF1?

And here's another mirror just in case meaning the kernel modules for build MF3 in a flashable zip as provided by Hashcode; these are necessary for people wishing to install other ROMs using Safestrap to ensure the hardware works, for the most part (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc - but the camera will probably always have issues with other ROMs till someone figures it out):

Not sure how safestrap works and I haven't tested it myself, but something along the lines of this patch + maybe a 3rd party camera app should work.

Already had the MF3 AOSP up and running but the camera was the sticking point, just flashed that zip provided by LeJay and it's working - it's not the same as the stock GS4A camera (which I was getting pretty used to) but it does allow for photos and video presently so that's better than not having that ability in any respects.
Thanks, LeJay...
Yeah thanks for the camera fix. I'm wondering if I can grab the camera apk from stock and bring it over. Would love to have that aqua mode. Its one of those look what I can do kinda features. Oh and the reason we all got the active over the regular s4

I doubt it since the camera app is built on Samsung's TouchWiz framework (much like you can't use their widgets on Nova Launcher and such).
Unless someone were to replicate what "aqua mode" does, you may just have to live without it, or find an app on the play store that allows button assignment.
Wow I've been busy with work and to see this on XDA WOW
Once again Hashcode has saved me from a locked boot loader. I used safestrap with my RAZR and now I'm running the Google edition it put my active into Beast Mode.
If you want to use the camera underwater just reboot into your stock system.

What Doesn't Work
* I experienced an incompatibility with some of my existing mp4 media files and when gallery tries to load them they cause a soft reboot. Loading these videos into the gallery media player using a 3rd party file manager seems to work without issue, it is the loading of the preview in gallery that causes the phone to crash.
Solution: The solution is to use a file manager to move the mp4 files to a new directory and add a ".nomedia" file to that directory so that when browsing photos in the gallery, it does not try to load the offending mp4 files. You can still view these mp4 files, but you must open them with a file manager directly into the video player instead of using the gallery to access them.
* The camcorder records just fine, but when playing back the video, it's just a distorted video. Audio is fine, and I have not tested video with a third party app. If you test one and it works, please post that here so that others may benefit from your findings.
This seems to have been fixed as of the 20140121 build
* The latest Google Drive seems to be missing classes and will not open. This may be due to a missing content provider or may be a bug with the Google Drive app itself.
Solution: The solution for this is to uninstall the latest version of Google Drive, then go to Settings -> Security and enable Unknown Sources. Then open the Play Store and turn off automatic updates or it will end up overwriting the older version and you will be left with a non-working Google Drive again. Once all that is complete, download and install this Google Drive instead:

Pre-Installation instructions
1) Download to your sdcard, the new CWM6.0.3.9 or Philz Advanced/Touch Recovery flashable zip which is compatible with SlimBean4.2/SlimBean4.3
2) Enter your existing CWM Recovery
3) Install Zip From sdcard
4) Select the CWM_RECOVERY_6.0.3.9_I757M_20131005.zip (or the Philz one) that you downloaded to your sdcard
5) Flash the new Recovery
6) Go back to the main recovery menu and go Advanced -> Reboot Recovery (This might not actually reboot you into recovery, you may have to do that manually by turning off phone and using 3-button combo)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now that you have the new recovery flashed to your device, you can continue to install this ROM.
Please be aware that the new recovery detects your sdcards (internal/external) in a different way. Your internal sdcard is recognized as /storage/sdcard0 and your external sdcard is recognized as /storage/sdcard1.

FAQ
Q. Why is my screen flickering?
A. There is a bug in this ROM where the board can't decide whether to display the frames with the cpu or the gpu, thus the flickering while it resolves the issue. To fix it, disable HW Overlays in Developer Options. There is a script that has been included with this ROM in the init.d that sets that on every boot so you shouldn't have to.

This helps fix some issues with VPN and some other system services.
Logcat what is it and how do I get one?
A logcat is the system log of events that occur on your device. This log provides the developers with some useful information pertaining to crashes and other bugs you may encounter while using the ROM and/or apps running on the ROM. Getting a logcat is generally a very simple thing. Just open your terminal emulator on your phone and type the following commands without typing the $ as it denotes a command on the command line:
$ su
$ logcat -v long > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command above will ask you to grant superuser permission to the terminal emulator which you must accept. The second command will create a file at the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt and then start writing the logs to this file. Since the logcat is a continuous function, your terminal emulator will not return you to the command prompt after the second command as it will continue to write logs until you stop it by pressing the x to close the emulator.
If you are experiencing an issue with an app, then you need to do the steps above to get the logcat recording, then press your home button so that you don't close the emulator, but put it in the background. Then you do the action that causes the bug to occur and then open the emulator and terminate it to stop the log from writing. this ensures that the error is located somewhere around the end of the log and makes it easier for us to spot
What is dalvik-cache and why do I need it?
To explain dalvik cache, you must understand how an app is pieced together. An apk (android app) is like a zip file and contains a bunch of files inside. Two important files to note are the resources.arsc and the classes.dex files. They are compiled versions of the resources (images, sounds, xml files) and classes (source code files) of the app. When android boots into a ROM for the first time, and everytime you install an app, the system performs an optimization called dex optimization which means that is pulls the dex file out of the app and places it into what is called your dalvik cache. The system can then pre-load these dex files and allow the app to start quickly.
Dalvik cache is stored in two locations, at /data/dalvik-cache for user apps and at /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps. We unfortunately have a very small partition for /cache, only 100MB and this sometimes causes a side effect on first boot where it fills up to much with apps that only ever run on the first boot to setup the system and then other dex files cannot be written to the /cache partition which causes them to Force Close (FC). The trick in this situation, is to bear through the FC messages to get the system to the home screen, then reboot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache from the Advanced sub-menu. This will delete all the dex files in both locations I mentioned above and will force the system to regenerate them upon reboot, and this time, those 1-time running apps don't start up and don't end up being optimized which allows the necessary dex files to be created for the apps that were FC'ing.
I have moved what I could from the system partition to the data partition to spare some extra space on /cache but this still sometimes happens, especially as the ROM's get slightly bigger every new major version.

titanic_fanatic, I just bought a pawned SGH-I757M and flashed your ROM on my device.
I love it, but there is one problem with my device. I find that the AMOLED screen is much too warm for my eyes. I know that CyanogenMod has in color modifier sliders but in this case, the kernel doesn't support it.
Is there any chance you may point me in the right direction in order to get this feature working? Or am I at lost with the SGH-I757M?
Thank you very much for your hard work, much appreciated!!!

Hey
Is this any different from the Cyanogenmod 10.2 iteration other than aesthetics? Does the battery and performance offer more seeing that it is supposed to be a much smaller and compact kernel?. I really have to urge to flash this, but I don't know if its worth my time considering I have already flashed CM10.2 recently and am very happy with it. Thanks!

Amazing
I just flashed it, its amazing! Especially "The Real Dark Slim"! However, I did notice Google + doesn't work properly asking me to re install it at the play store. Had to uninstall using Titanium Backup and then install it back via app store, not sure now whether it has the the real dark slim feature integrated in google +. Other than that, it's really smooth so far Great port.
UPDATE: Google drive also doesn't work as it force closes continuously even after wiping dalvik's cache. I'll try redownloading the gapps tomorrow, might have a corrupt downloaded file.
I Fashed latest slim as well. It is running really well so far. I had the same issue with Google+ until I uninstalled using TB then reininstall from play store.

Thank you t_f for looking into mdnie. Also, flashing the unmodified lock screen handle available on Slim's website did not work, I still see the Slim logo. Aaah I wish I had time to figure out the android build environment.. I mean its probably just ant lol

I noticed while testing the latest slim that hw overlay is disabled by default. Is this by design or necessary with this rom? I know this issue is addressed in your other ROMs but not sure about this one. BTW with fairly heavy use I am currently at 40% battery over 20 hours. Quite acceptable.

It is intentional. Disabling the hw overlays is a performance hit, and it seemed that slim didn't need that hack because the overlays are working correctly
I know, the latest ROMs are running smooth and battery is much better since I tweaked the kernel for both.
I'm also really enjoying my new computer so much that I'm playing with paranoid android too. Got it booting with a bunch of hacks and to my suprise, it's running quite well. I'll post that after I test it more and clean up the build process. Then we have choice of which ROM too use. That was the problem before, no choice strange though, there is no branch for kk in paranoid android's repo.

Just a word of caution to everyone using philz latest 6.07 cwm recovery. There is a know issue where the update-binary has now been updated as of kk and the recoveries built with kk like the new philz 6.07 are now giving assert errors (error 7).
There are two ways to fix this:
1) Revert to the older 6.01 version of philz.
2) extract the updater-script from the rom zip file, delete the assert lines and replace the old updater-script with the new one.
If you're new to all this, or consider yourself inexperienced, I recommend you go with option 1 and revert to the older philz as it's a less risky method of doing things
Sent from my SGH-I757M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Here's the link to the older philz 6.01. You can use either the 6.01.0 or 6.01.2.

[TWRP][OFFICIAL] TWRP for LAVA Pixelv1

FEATURED ON THE PORTAL
Thanks @Doug Lynch for the mention!​
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:
-Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
-Add Greek translation to some builds.
CHANGELOG for 3.0.1-0:
-support new CM 13.0 pattern encryption (sultanqasim)
-fix slow flashing issue due to modprobe (present on only some devices) (#twrp)
-libtar updated to latest upstream and fixes (jcadduono)
-fixes for loading custom themes (_that)
-TWRP will now detect and install TWRP themes automatically through the normal zip install process (Dees_Troy)
-translation updates - added Italian, Czech and Polish and significant updates to Dutch
-progress bar improvements - progress bar updates during image flashing and better tracks progress during file system backups (tar) (Dees_Troy)
-fix input box text display (Dees_Troy)
-reboot option after zip install complete (bigbiff)
-other mostly invisible bug fixes and improvements
CHANGELOG for 3.0.0-0:
-Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
-True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
-Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
-Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
-Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
-Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)
-SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
-Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
-Update AOSP base to 6.0
-A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.
Notes for themers: In addition to the udpated theme, we have introduced a theme version variable to the TWRP theme system. If the theme version does not match the version that TWRP expects, TWRP will reject the custom theme and load its stock theme. This change will ensure that people who update TWRP without updating their theme will still have a workable recovery. We have removed libjpeg support. The stock theme was only using a jpeg image for the splash / curtain. This change means that any custom themes will no longer be able to use jpeg images. It also means that tools used to repack recovery images with a different curtain / splash will need to be updated to use the new method.
Version number notes: For a while we’ve been using a 4 digit version number and reserved the 4th digit for device-specific updates. For instance, we find and fix a device-specific issue like decryption of data on Nexus 5, we would release that as a 2.8.7.1. After a while, some people would start asking where 2.8.7.1 was for other devices. So, going forward we have decided to change the numbering scheme to 3.0.0-2, etc. Our hope is that this version numbering scheme will more clearly identify that the 4th digit does not indicate a version change for the code base.
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by 3 people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!
CHANGELOG for 2.8.7.0:
-Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)
-Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)
-Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)
-Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer)
-Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)
-Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)
-Add system read only option – more details below (Dees_Troy)
-Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)
-Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)
-Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)
Note: As always, be sure your custom theme is up to date (or remove your custom theme) before updating TWRP.
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.

BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!

I would like you to recognize some misunderstanding.
On the official website of TWRP are 2 different Android One devices listed.
The first is "sprout" which stand for MTK powered devices
The other entry is called "2nd generation MTK (seedmtk)" which is simply wrong and might mislead some people. 2nd gen devices are powered by Snapdragon 410 CPUs.
You may want to change the listing on your website for a better understanding.

@body150165, you might wanna do some homework now. Second gen devices are victim of fragmentation, causing two different variants to exist. The first, the Snapdragon 410-powered seed devices, have TWRP from @arvinquilao, and he's also running CM13 builds. The second one, the MT6582-powered Infinix Hot One and Lava Pixel v1, are classified as sprout by their manufacturers, which would have caused the confusion it somehow triggered in you. All said and done, as the only developer actively working towards CM13 and TWRP for the device, I took the liberty of renaming the device.
@body150165 thanks for bringing up your concern. Official TWRP build for the Snapdragon variant is already available via dl.twrp.me/seed, but the website is yet to be updated (probably in the next couple of days). As soon as it's updated I'll make a new thread here for the Snapdragon variant.

2) Battery bug: Always show me 50% of charge, no more, no less...
Are this common bugs, or porting bugs??? How can I fix it??
Thanks!!!

I'll get back to you in a while after checking these. And this is TWRP 3.0.2-0, not 3.0.0-2.
I would like to know what steps have you taken to port it to determine whether I can source build for the device and make it official.

It will not, sadly. TWRP seems to have not updated sprout devices for ages, so I'll run you guys a 3.0.2-0 build in some time and post it here.

Bootloop
My device is lava pixel v1. After flashing this recovery from fastboot my device goes into bootloop. It always start with recovery and then says failed to mount /data etc and again reboots.

After fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-seedmtk.img, what exactly did you do?
You need to press both Volume Up + Power for about 15 seconds till device reboots back into bootloader mode and then go to recovery mode and open it. This has been tested as working. What steps did you take?
MSF Jarvis said:
@body150165, you might wanna do some homework now. Second gen devices are victim of fragmentation, causing two different variants to exist. The first, the Snapdragon 410-powered seed devices, have TWRP from @arvinquilao, and he's also running CM13 builds. The second one, the MT6582-powered Infinix Hot One and Lava Pixel v1, are classified as sprout by their manufacturers, which would have caused the confusion it somehow triggered in you. All said and done, as the only developer actively working towards CM13 and TWRP for the device, I took the liberty of renaming the device.

It should be Infinix Hot 2. Also I tried flashing via flashify and the recovery does not boot on Hot 2.

That's bad.... Can you provide me with your boot image? I will have to end up deunifying this recovery if it isn't booting :/
I would recommend that you also try a fastboot flash to see if it's a flashify thing.

ROM Index (#2) | Kernel Index (#3) | Changelog (#4)​
Whaddup, XDA? ^_^
This began as a modest little post, aptly named Post#3333 in the Resurrection Remix thread to help keeping the thread clean. Many thanks to @varund7726 for his support and making it the official RR Bacon FAQ!
It gained more attention than I thought it would so I decided to make a more general version in a dedicated thread.
This is not my work but a collection of answers by amazing people that roam these digital lands. Of course, I do appreciate you clicking that Thank you button . I hope people looking for answers will find their way here. If someone has any input, feel free to drop it in the thread or send me a PM and I'll update the post if needed. It may be best to not ask new questions here, you'll find more satisfying answers in the appropriate threads of the custom ROM you're using or in the general Help thread.
Now, let's get this out of the way first:
Code:
What are you reading this for? There isn't a single Bacon owner with valid warranty anymore. Anyway, here's the original disclaimer:
You have the [U]right[/U] to unlock your device, not the [U]obligation[/U] to do so.
Anything you flash can and will be used against you in a court of technical dispute.
If you get your device bricked, you will [B]not[/B] be provided with a new one.
If your mother in law disappears as a result of something mentioned in this thread,
I will happily take your donations to thank me but I will not be held responsible!
Mind that this is – and probably will continue to be – a work in progress.
This is an attempt to collect general solutions, which will not always work in every case.
Please DO NOT QUOTE THIS ENTIRE POST! Thanks.

1. GENERAL
1.a. How can this FAQ help me? Why did you make this?
My goal is to maintain a one-size-fits-all thread where people can find answers to the most common current problems for the OnePlus One a.k.a. Bacon. It also serves as a detailed guide through the flashing process. The reason I'm doing this is threefold: 1) Despite the fact that this is a 2014 device, the 1+1 community is still booming. Best proof of that is that our very own Bacon is by far the most popular device for LineageOS with currently over 80,000 installs! I'd love to honor that fact. 2) This is my first support thread, I hope to learn a great deal from it. 3) I honestly enjoy helping people =)
1.b. Why isn’t anyone helping me?
Keep in mind that XDA is not your personal tech support. The idea is that we help each other as a community, not to expect an immediate answer to your problem. If you do not add any useful technical information to your query, your post may not be considered, this is even more so the case in development threads.
There are three ways (that can be combined) to achieve a technically sound post:
Attach a logcat! See 1.c. on how to do this.
Provide screenshots, especially handy with aesthetic issues.
Provide the exact steps to reproduce the problem (be VERY specific).
Tip: use the time that you’re waiting for an answer to find it yourself. If you managed to resolve it yourself, follow-up on your own post and explain how you did it, it may be helpful to other users in the future.
1.c. Creating a logcat
This'll only take a minute and may provide invaluable information for any developer or someone trying to help. There are a number of ways to create them, this tutorial explains a remote technique. I do believe this is the easiest way:
Download CatLog from the Play Store
Make sure you have a dedicated 'menu' button (CatLog is old skool)
Run the app, give it root rights, [optional] pause the current flow with the pause button and then clear the window tapping the circle with the X in the middle top right (this will provide peace of mind, the constant stream can be a bit overwhelming)
Tap the menu button, press Record followed by OK. Any activity is now being recorded
Press your home key and launch the app that's giving you trouble, let the crash happen and repeat it a few times
Drag down notifications and tap the cat, it'll state "select to stop recording"
CatLog will now show you what it has recorded, use the search feature to check if no privacy sensitive information (your e-mail, a phone number etc.) has been collected, you can edit this out manually with a text editor if needed
You can simply tap the menu key again and select Send to share the log, this feature will also add device info (brand, model, Android version ...)
If you'd like to share it manually or want to make some edits first, you'll find the file in [internal storage]/catlog/saved_logs
2. PREPARING
2.a. EXT4 vs. F2FS
A lot can be said about filesystems but I won't go into any technical debates on here. The main difference boils down to this:
F2FS is arguably faster than EXT4; EXT4 is arguably more stable than F2FS.
In real use performance, not much difference will be noticed in terms of speed. Since the release of Oreo for Bacon, however, stability on F2FS has decreased drastically or it is unsupported entirely. If you have never changed this yourself, the system will most likely be formatted to EXT4. You can check with DiskInfo or in recovery. In case you want to run Nougat on F2FS or you want to return to EXT4 but forgot how, here's a refresher:
In recovery, go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select a single partition
Tap “Repair or Change File System” (if you see “Invalid partition selection” appearing, it means the partition’s file system cannot be changed
On top you can see the current file system, tap “Change File System” followed by the one you want (stick to either EXT4 or F2FS)
Swipe to confirm
I found this XDA article (interview with Francisco Franco) quite interesting on this topic.
2.b. What else do I need? (Prerequisites)
A good working TWRP
The ROM zip of your choosing
Gapps (ARM/8.1/nano, there are plenty alternatives, check with your ROM maker which one is advised)
last CM13 snapshot (only if you didn't have CM13 before)
You should place all downloaded files in the root of your internal storage (/sdcard). It's stongly recommended to check md5 hashes! In case of Gapps, download the md5 checksum file and place it together with the zip.
2.c. C6 or C7, which is the best firmware? (troubleshooting network issues)
None. There are mixed results on both, depending on which network(s) you use. Which one works best for you? The only way to find out is by flashing one of the three versions below (that differs from your current version, check under About phone > Baseband version. The recommended one for most users is C6-00241 (the most likely one you currently have).
Here are three very common firmwares and a Frankenstein release:
Download DI.3.0.c6-00241
Download 4.0.1.c7-00013 (2016)
Download 4.0.1.c7-00011 (2016)
@MrSHME's Frankenstein Release
[instructions and credits]
There's a whole load of them available in this thread. I've done some elaborated testing there, read my findings here.
Important note when flashing firmware: backup your modem and EFS partitions first! It may happen that the system hangs in boot animation after a firmware flash (I experienced this a few times). Give it some time and it should automatically boot back to recovery. In recovery, reboot back to system (don't do any wiping or anything) and it should boot just fine. If the system keeps hanging for over 20 minutes, manually force a shutdown (long press power) and try booting regularly again. Still no luck? Boot to recovery and flash other firmware or restore your modem backup.
2.d. What kernel should I use?
You don't have to use any. Want to take the plunge anyway? Sure, check out post #3 for a list. You can make a backup of your kernel/blobs with Flashify
Read (much much) more about tweaking in this excellent guide by @Saber
3. FLASHING
Always make a nandroid backup before you flash anything!
3.a. Installing TWRP
Before flashing anything, make sure you are using a compatible TWRP! You'll find a download link to the one I'm using in this FAQ, I'll keep it updated. I know this is basic information but to avoid any mistakes, I'm providing all needed steps:
Download a TWRP .img file
Move it to the adb (official download) folder where adb and fastboot exe's are located
[this is no requirement but let's do this for the clarity of these steps] rename it to recovery.img
Reboot device into fastboot via advanced reboot menu, 'adb reboot bootloader' command or – if the device is off – press and hold "Power + Volume UP" until "Fastboot Mode" appears
Setup the correct drivers and connect the device to the PC/Mac
Open a command line (terminal on Mac I guess) in the adb folder
type "fastboot devices" to see if the system picks up the device
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash TWRP
Disconnect the device from the PC
Press and hold power until the device turns off
Hold "Power + Volume DOWN" to boot into the newly flashed TWRP recovery
3.b. How to flash
Always make a nandroid backup before you flash anything!
Clean Flash:
In TWRP, wipe by swiping factory settings. If you're experiencing issues, it's best to do a full wipe (Advanced > select System + Data + Cache + Dalvik-ART Cache)
[optional] Flash last CM13 snapshot and do another full wipe. This step is crucial when you've never been on CM13 before. This flash will fix/prevent a wide variety of issues! You only need to do this once.
Flash the ROM zip
[optional] Flash a custom kernel
Flash Gapps (ARM/nano, version should be the same as ROM), check Gapps compatibility in ROM thread.
[optional] If root is desired, flash Magisk (stable or beta)
[optional] Flash other mods
Wipe Cache/Dalvik-ART Cache and reboot
Dirty Flash (update):
Reboot to TWRP
Flash the ROM zip
Wipe Cache/Dalvik-ART Cache and reboot
Semi-Dirty Flash:
This is basically the clean flash procedure but you backup the /data partition before wiping and restore it afterwards (or don't wipe /data at all). I do not recommend this method.
Example (my flashing procedure for a specific Oreo ROM):
Download ROM and Open Gapps to root. Check ROM md5 hash with MiXplorer
Backup all user apps + a few system elements (messages, call logs etc.) with TitaniumBackup (+pro key)
Copy the TitaniumBackup folder to my PC
Reboot to latest TWRP, create Nandroid backup of System and Data (sometimes copy that one to PC as well)
Wipe /system + /data + /cache + /art-dalvik cache
Flash ROM + Gapps + OP5 camera mod + iYTBP + Magisk beta (all in one go), wipe caches after flashing and reboot
I let Google setup install all apps, then restore app data with TiBu, this feels more clean
Restore system elements with TiBu + apply AdAway lists + restore Android ID (for my banking app) and reboot
Enjoy awesomeness!
This seems like a lot of work but it doesn't take more than an hour. Since releases are currently pretty far apart, it's only a small effort for many days of smooth sailing. If release frequency would increase, I wouldn't make a Nandroid and wouldn't copy everything to PC every single time. If I don't have Wi-Fi for some reason, I restore all apps + data with TiBu instead of using Google setup.
3.c. I'm seeing two red errors in TWRP while flashing
They are LOS related and have no effect on the flash procedure, don't worry about it, you can safely ignore them.
3.d. I'm getting an error while flashing Gapps
Error 70: You're trying to flash a package that is too large such as Stock. Try a smaller package.
Error 64: Wrong architecture, you need an ARM package, not ARM64/x86/x86_64.
Error 20: Wrong version, you need 6.x for Marshmallow, 7.x for Nougat
3.d. I dirty flashed and something doesn't work anymore
Please do not inquire about issues after (semi-)dirty flashing. The first step for you to take is to perform a clean flash. If the issue is still present and it hasn't been posted before (PLEASE use search!), then post your inquiry in the ROM thread.
4. CRITICAL
4.a. My screen is going black, I can only see notifications
This behavior is caused when a profile has lock screen disabled. The only way to recover from this condition is to clean flash, or restore a backup that was made prior to setting up the profile. It may be possible to reboot successfully if one is in a location or situation that triggers a profile that doesn't have lock screen disabled, then change the problem profile settings (unconfirmed).
4.b. My device just exploded!
It's most likely unrelated to a software problem but please, feel free to share pictures!
4.c. The other person (nearly) can't hear me during a call
Can't be heard
In /system/build.prop, change
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
to
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none
Edit /system/etc/audio_platform_info.xml (in Oreo this file moved to /system/vendor/etc)
<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="40" />
to
<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="4" />
Audio comes out low
remove
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
change
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
(flashable version)
Reboot.
Still having problems? Test your sensors and mic more thoroughly with an app like this, there may be a hardware failure. Before opening her up, you can do a last software check by trying another ROM or by returning to 100% stock.
4.d. I have another audio/microphone problem
Please refer to the OnePlus One Audio Mods Collection, a genious collection of all sorts of fixes and workarounds to achieve fully featured audio on the OPO.
4.e. Can't read or write to internal storage (/sdcard)
Your /sdcard partition is most likely corrupt! Now what? When this happens to /system or /data we can simply perform a clean flash. Wiping our internal storage, however, means wiping a lot of precious data that is not included in a Nandroid backup so it's crucial to make regular backups manually. A lot of trouble can be avoided with cloud syncing (Dropbox, Google Photos, etc.). When read/write errors present themselves (camera can't save photos, not enough space errors while there's plenty, folders disappear, etc.) it's important to work fast before all your data becomes unavailable indefinitely. Here's how you can reset your internal storage in a non-destructive manner:
Copy the entire content of your internal storage (/sdcard) to an external location (PC or OTG drive). Make sure the real important things are immortalized (e.g. your cat photos/videos are synced with Google Photos and/or are trending on YouTube)!
Reboot to TWRP
You may want to create a nandroid backup at this point but do not forget to copy the backup to your PC or make the backup via OTG as we're about to wipe the internal storage (and with it, all internal backups)
Go to Wipe > Advanced and select only Internal storage, confirm to wipe (you may experience some discomfort at this point, this is normal)
Reboot to TWRP (from recovery to recovery, that's right)
Now copy all content back from the folder on your computer to the internal storage. You should be able to do this simply over USB while TWRP is active. If you don't, go to the main TWRP menu, tap 'Mount' followed by 'Enable MTP'
When the copy is complete, reboot to System and your trouble should be gone!
We're doing the wipe AND the restore inside recovery because if you would boot your device with an empty /sdcard partition, the Android system and all running apps would start freaking out and get going on all sorts of crazy, recreating their folders and files.
Tip: this is the perfect opportunity to sieve through those files! I recommend not just copying everything back but only the things you still need. Exclude folders of apps that aren't installed anymore and skip unused media files. This will decrease the chance of future corruption. Take some time to make your internal storage shipshape!
5. QUICK FIXES
5.a. The camera app can't connect to the camera
If you flashed something like OxygenOS Blobs, your camera will not work unless you set SELinux to Permissive. You should find this in your ROM settings (e.g. for RR this is under Settings > Configurations > Miscellaneous > Selinux mode > Permissive) or you can easily do this with SELinuxModeChanger.
Why this is a bad idea: SELinux or Security Enhanced Linux prevents malicious apps from gaining unlimited system level access by exploiting security holes. By setting it to Permissive, you’re disabling this extra layer of security. Infections due to this are rare but do happen, you’ve been informed.
5.b. Google Assistant isn't working or "OK Google" detection fails (this may be obsolete by now, please notify me if it is)
See 4.c., “Audio comes out low”.
5.c. QS toggle 'drops' when trying to add it
This may happen when attempting to add one of the lower QS toggles. There are two ways to work around this bug:
By lowering the display size: go to Settings > Accessibility > Display size (or under custom ROM configurations) and change it to Smaller or Smallest
By messing around: move icons from the top to the QS panel until you're able to slide the QS toggle you need without 'dropping' it
This video shows it works fine:
6. OTHER
6.a. How do I apply themes and which ones can I use?
OMS compatible ROMs only! To start, install Substratum from the Play Store, open it and grant it root rights (both substratum and masquerade). Then search the Play Store for substratum themes that are compatible with your Android version. Some will cost you something but most are really worth it and there are some great free ones as well. After installing a theme, apply it in Substratum. Don't forget to read the theme creator's instructions, some combinations can cause trouble!
6.b. Fast/Quick Charge isn't working
That's because the OnePlus One doesn't support it. You can, however, tweak charging rates with kernel tweaks (which is still limited, don't expect dash charge speeds). Equip yourself with proper hardware. A ‘smart’ charging station and quality cables can go a long way. Mind that faster charging is not better charging per se. You may shorten the lifespan of your battery when pushing it to the limits. Charging with the official charger/cable (which should take about 2 hours from 0 to 100%) is still the best way to treat your battery. Also note that if you got your device back in 2014, there's a good chance your battery doesn't have its full capacity anymore, longer charge rates and shorter lifespans can be expected. That being said, the OPO was equipped with a kickass quality battery, even after abusing it for all these years, many users have reported it still works great!
7. MODS
7.a. ViPER4Android
Since Magisk is more widely adopted, installing V4A has become very easy.
In Magisk Manager, tap the three lines top left
Tap Downloads
Scroll down to ViPER4Android FX and tap the download icon
Tap Install followed by Reboot
Once booted, go into Magisk > Downloads again
ViPER will now be on top, tap it
You'll find a link to the latest APK, download and install it
That's it. Open it and change all the settings you want, then reboot once more to make sure it all runs fine.
7.b. Camera mods
The OnePlus 5 camera software has been ported (download here) to Bacon and it works great, this is my current favourite.
Great camera mod: CameraNextModV2. It's just a simple flash away.
Not much of a mod but a Camera app optimized for our OPO: Bacon Camera!.
And good to know: Google Camera 4.1.006.135988111 is the last compatible version for Bacon.

[Changelog]
2018-08-23
Howdy! I've been away (or at least very inactive) for a few weeks due to family vacation and other stuff – including two quite tragic events. That's life I guess
Anyway, interesting development seems to be never ending for this amazing device. The immortality of Bacon has yet again been confirmed with the release of PIE! This was predicted by my teenage antiheroes "Weebl and Bob" back in 2002; they are true visionaries :')
That's not one (KitKat), not two (Lollipop), not three (Marshmallow), not four (Nougat), not five (Oreo) but SIX (PIE!) major Android iterations that have seen light on this chunck of awesomeness. At this rate we might even see Android Queijadinha on the OPO! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's celebrate and enjoy Pie's release first. Time to take a P (Captain Underpants, anyone?). Tra-la-laaa!
Created "PIE!!!!!" section
Added POSP to both Oreo and Pie sections
Added PixysOS
Updated Oreo titles.
2018-05-25
Added Cosmic-OS
Updated all ROM Index Oreo titles
The legendary AOSP by the equally legendary @Agent_fabulous is being discontinued more to come, though?...

2018-03-18
Added DU v12.0 Oreo unofficial to the ROM Index because it's just so awesome (and because dev allowed me, lol). There's no XDA thread so don't expect any support. So just.. eh.. #staydirty I guess ^_^
Check out my new animated sig! Created it myself in Photoshop. Let me tell ya, it was a long night
2018-03-15

Thanks mate for your helping nature...

This is going to be fun.
Thanks! @Timmmmaaahh

I am planning on a clean flash soon and often refer to your guide as the best source. After all it is titled "The Ultimate OnePlus Guide", so it must be true.
May I request that you begin updating posts #1-#4 to include Oreo? I find the tips you posted here (link) helpful.
