Too many issues so few roms

3rd thread, about 4th rom flashed
constant issues with builds. have gone from stock to:
cm 6.1.3 -apps crashing, random crash notices i.e "phone book has crashed force close" - "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly"
cm 7 - random reboots, opening browser caused power cycle, wifi issues, lag (thread posted, no solutions at the forefront)
currently on tripnraver pre release. now another issue. no signal what so ever.
original baseband on this xperia x10a is .55. it is suggested to use with bands 52 or 49.
loading either of these basebands. which ive done. doesn't seem to fix the no signal problem. the description states should be backwards compatible even if appropriate bb is not installed on device. yet no luck.
attempting to flash either baseband fails to resolve this problem. currently trying to flash back to stock and try another full reinstall and baseband flash in flashtool.
any ideas would be a great help. having to flash x number of times between roms is getting quite time consuming
thanks everyone.

if you want to stay on the miui rom, you can flash the baseband patch located here and stay on whatever baseband works best for you (I'm on .55 and find it fantastic), then when you load the rom, go to dev tools>bad behaviour>crash the system server.

Otherwise, I would recommend wolfbreaks cm 6.1.3, as it is the most stable. You must have done something wrong during installation as I never had an issue with his roms.

The only issue I have ever had with any rom is MiUi and thats because I used the wrong baseband. You must be doing something wrong for you to be having problems

if you want, try this flash, it's trips miui pre-final with the baseband patch implemented.

worked with my .54 baseband

thanks so much for the links to the baseband patches. i remember coming across a thread that posted it but unfortunately forgot to book mark. so im definitely going to go ahead and try with the patch installed. hopefully all works well
each rom ive flashed has been done properly according to instructions. cache wiped, dalvik, and full reset as per menu options in xrecovery.
one way or another i experienced lag for the most part, and as mentioned some random crashes. never had reset on wolfs rom just error messages at times. trips rom worked excellent, smooth and quick. hopefully with the patch implemented everything will work flawlessly
thanks you guys
*Updated
Flashed over rom with baseband patch. signal working. everything running smooth.
except for when using camera zoom. zoom default displays 0x. as soon as the option is selected it spawns an immediate force close
any patches? or similar outcome for anyone else?
i will outline my steps below so everyones up to speed on how i performed this flash.
- flashed back stock in SEUS
- root with one click (success)
- installed busy box (market)
- installed xrecovery apk
- booted into xrec
1. full factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvik cache
4. wipe battery stats
5. install custom zip from sd card
6. selected trips rom with bb patch implemented
5. reboot

Camera zoom doesn't work in most ROMs yet and the lag you were experiencing was likely just the FW "settling" it can take a little bit and a couple reboots sometimes for the phone to calibrate itself properly.

thanks cmoney. maybe ill try my luck with cm7. give it a few reboots and hope for the best. great rom. im really loving trips iphonesque style
clean smooth and quick. everythings working great. hoping the zoom may get fixed soon enough. only other inquiry i have with regards to this rom is the apps2sd.
this feature is essential to myself personally. and it is not working as ive noticed on this rom. ive read a thread with regards to a fix for the last release. i checked the settings for an enable option in case the feature requires being manually set as active but nothing listed. within sd settings state reads as unavailable. if anyone has an answer as to whether this fix will function with the current pre release. ill be going ahead with completeling the flash and reporting what i find back on this thread.
thanks again everyone

Try Wolfbreaks rom. It's very very stable for me. It has cam and everything upto date.

im going to flash back to wolfbreaks updated 6.1.3 unless anyone can point me in the direction of a fix for trips rom.
the smooth and fluid feel of trips rom was brilliant. i am hopeful someone has directions for an apps2sd fix as i have flashed the build twice and the same issue has occured.

works for me on trips newest....

i just downloaded the new version 1.0
this is ridiculous. without the baseband patch. crash system server. no signal
now apps to sd is saying "apps2sd is not supported on this device"
this is an xperia x10, so obviously there must be something wrong here.
can anyone elaborate on exactly what to do about this because im going to attempt to flash back the rom, flash the bb patch right after, reboot. i assume this will only solve my signal issue. but this apps to sd is getting extremely frustrating and i can not figure out why it is not showing an enabled status.
- Flashed 1.0 with baseband patch - network signal resolved.
- apps to sd is STILL not working. and i really dont know what to do about this. everything else on this rom is perfect. is there something im missing? i came across a patch for apps2sd fix but this was for a previous version. would it be needed here? is there a setting that must be enabled first in order to start apps to sd as a service.
- as mentioned previously within the main menu, under sd card settings. message states "apps2sd is not supported on device" and on previous build would display "apps2sd unavailable". its simply impossible that the phone doesn't support it. as with every other rom the feature has worked. froyo would support it. the question is how do i go about enabling said feature?

I dunno man, it works fine for me, but I copied data from my 0.3.2 xrecovery image, so that might be why. try flashing that apps2sd fix for 0.3.2, should work fine

damn it. i just found that thread. found the links to the fixes. so far ive tried miui32_a2sd_fix.zip. and flashed that over with xrec prior to reboot. which did nothing.
there are two more links so im going to try those two flashes as well and hope that one of them will do the trick. if its working when utilizing .32 patches then ideally the bloody thing would have to work here. thanks for the input though dtox. much appreciated

I don't know what else to suggest man
From the feedback I see in the miui thread, everyone else is reporting it working!
Did you factory wipe, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache before install? then flash the miui 1.0.zip, and flash immediately the baseband patch then reboot into the rom.
Remember not all apps allow apps2sd so use something like android system info, go into the applications tab click on one, click manage and then see if the option "move to sd" is highlighted. Like I said check a few though, not all apps can be moved

i just replied in the dev section lol but yes i have gone ahead and checked the applications menu. specifically downloaded a file i have moved to sd on a previous occasion from the market.
nothing
the "apps to sd" selection is completely greyed out. no matter what application i click on or download. i did a full wipe, full install, and selected the apps2sd fix immediately after rom and bbpatch flash, prior to rebooting. issue still remains.
we'll see i guess. thanks again dtox

Try it again but without the fix...

i did that to it doesnt work i get the same message displayed
i tried with fix and without. another thing to note is that the rom itself says it should work with a different baseband as it has elements of unified. (which it doesn't) i had to flash the bb patch to get signal.
im not sure whats up with this but until i figure it out for a certainty ive flashed back over to wolf breaks rom. hopefully something will surface and i can give trips rom another go.

No idea man, like I said it is fine for everyone else so I'm so no big development will arise that will make it function with your phone....

maybe it has something to do with 10a. i dont know. but the point is it shouldn't even be doing this regardless. hypothetically if its froyo and it has apps2sd built in. it should work. its not the way ive flashed. the phone supports it. so my only conclusion the rom must not be as compatible as stated. and from reading different posts about the prev builds sometimes the patches worked at other times they didnt. and also the fact that the rom is claimed to work without the need for a bbpatch. yet without the patch instaled phone caught no single. i guess certain unexplainable glitches can be bound to happen at times but any how ill give it one last go.
if nothing comes out of that then im giving up on that build because it seems relatively hopeless.

lol I'm using an x10a...
Still man you're the only person reporting this. Don't you find that strange? What baseband are you using anyhow?

[TELUS T959D Fascinate]-Running ONECOSMIC'S ICS

Hello.
This is where you can look at the tutorial and get the files to install if you feel like jumping into it ...
ICS Step by step and files
Note: if you do flash this and it hangs at the boot screen, pull the battery and flash it again and it should work. Some have had to do it 3 times.
I take no credit for this ROM and full props go to the developers of the above post and all those working to make this happen.
First the look and feel of ICS is nothing short of superb. The speed as of now is similar to all the other ROMS I have tried with a little chop here and there but nothing major.
Yes lots of little issues and items that do not work like the camera and GPS but not a huge deal for me so I am willing to stick to it.
Battery so far is decent. 13 hours and 43 min. on the first charge to calibrate and sitting at 24% still. This included allot of playing with the phone and reboots to test jigs
As for the issues that are somewhat bothersome, they include the following.
1. No home or search button. I know same as usual when installing an i9000 ROM but the key mappings from the GB ROMS does not work.
2. BLN (issue all around) will remain lit until you wake the phone to get the notification.
3. They had to do some funky stuff to get 3G to work so it lags to start. Not a huge deal cause it does start and remain working.
I will be continuing to use this ROM and hopefully everything will be working soon (these guys are flying. Also I have been told that the folks over at Glitch are already working on the kernels for the ICS port so that is promising as well.
If there are any other out there running this on our phone chime in with your thoughts or fixes if you have any.
Thanx
Bucky

Thanks for starting this thread. Can't wait to hear about your progress.

Alpha 7
Hey here is the update ...
Installed the Alpha 7 update today and I have to say this rom is fantastic.
1. Camera is fixed and works like a charm.
2. GPS locked in seconds and accurate indoors!! Big improvment over all other roms I have used.
3. HW Acceleration is fixed and working from what I can tell
4. You Tube is fixed and can watch video
Still on the not working list
1. Can not plug the phone in while off as it just restarts. this is a work in progress and known issue
2. Can not record video
3. Will not read a SIM card for contacts and so on (thank god for Google sync)
4. Still no home or search buttons (I think I may need to work on that on myself unless a kernel is released)
SO my review so far ...
No real issues with the general use of the phone. Text, phone, email and web are solid, I have installed apps from the market with no issues and not one FC yet. Battery life is good and nothing is taking over. I have been able to use the phone all day and still have lots left over before going to bed and plugging in. I have not been through a full battery as of yet but that is what I am working on now.
Memory - Last I looked I had 174MB of memory remaining which is the highest I have seen.
ICS is really smooth and fast while moving around. I am going to continue to play with it and report back here for everyone.
I don't use a whole lot of apps so there won't be much regarding those.
Thanx for stopping by and I will post pics when I can.
Bucky

Thanks for the update. From your review, it sounds like an awesome rom. Can't wait to try it but need them to fix the video recording first. Although I might just cave and try it out just to see what the fuss is all about
Can always restore my current setup... lol.

Update ...
been getting the SOD today and not sure why, I mentioned above that the HW acceleration was working, I misunderstood and it is not fully working yet.
I found that the system partition is very small. There was an update which required copying libs and there was not enough space left to do this (2MB). Not too sure if this is due to coming from MIUI or just a ROM issue.
Alpha 8 was released but had quite a few issues so not flashing that one.
Daily use has been great so far (except for the SOD) with no reception or data issues.
I am still working on the home and search buttons but I think that will get fixed with a kernel update. I tried the keymap file but these buttons do not even register in recovery so I get nothing in the ROM either.
More to come ...

Haven't tried this (likely won't as I need the phone for work) but buck have you tried the manual key fix - some directions in our thread on putting on Darkys 10.3.

Hey buck , was doing some searching in teamhacksung's thread about their ICS port, and someone suggested to change the following and then the key mapping for our phones will work properly. Not sure if the file system is the same for both, but definitely a bit of info if it isn't!
All you have to do is change this part on**arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c*

Hey, have a telus fascinate too. Know how to flash and all that fun stuff. Just don't fully follow where you make the changes for key mapping...if you could just guide me in the right direction, I can figure the rest out...
changes in the kernel zip? the beta zip? after flashing? something completely different?
thanks a lot!

There are no changes to be made with this ROM, they are built in. Just flash and all good.
I will post update tonight after work.

There are allot of BT related posts in the QA. I personally do not use any BT but I do have a headset that I will try when I get home.
Seems to be a battery drain issue too as my phone is now dead but I have not calibrated so we will see after I do that.

AT LEAST YOU GUYS HAVE IT RUNNING!!
I am having a hell of a time trying to get it to work. I have tried so many different ways to get it up and running but no luck.
I've tried installing it from MIUI 3 times but all I get when trying to boot into ICS for the first time is a Black Screen after the FuguMod boot screen.
The funny thing is that the 4 soft buttons at the bottom light up still.
So I then decided to try the JVT way:
-Flashed JVT DARKYROM (ODIN)
-Lagfix OFF
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-FLASHED CM7.1 STABLE
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-Flash ICS BETA1
-Flash kernel
-FOR THE SECOND TIME:
-Flash ICS BETA1 AGAIN
-Flash kernel AGAIN
Same issue, black screen after the FuguMod boot screen, buttons still light up.
So i tried a couple more times in a few different ways based off what I have already tried, but this time, before booting into ICS for the first time, I installed the 'Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip' package.
Same issue. I'm not having any luck here.

OK so here is what I did ...
Started from MIUI 1.11.18
1. Do a nandroid backup
2. download all the files to the SD card. This includes the ROM, Kernel and super user fix
Links:
Kernel:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update.zip
ROM:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta1-i9000.zip
Super User:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
3. Boot to recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache and davlik cache
4. Install the Kernel first and reboot now
5. Boot into recovery factory reset and wipe cache and Davlik and Install the ROM then reboot now
6 Boot back to recovery and install the Kernel again with out the wipe
7. If after reboot you do not have root then boot to recovery and flash super user fix
8. reboot and it should be working at least it was for me
It seems to me that you are missing the first flash of the kernel before the ROM. It sets up the file system from what I gather
Note: If needed flash the kernel and rom then kernel again with all the wipes as mentioned above.
I know there are allot of folks having issues getting it to run. Not too sure if it was the way I installed MIUI that might have made the difference.
My battery is charging now so I can calibrate it and see how it goes after that (it drained pretty quick today) lol.
I hope you can get it going cause it truly is awesome
Still not working:
Can not charge with the phone off
Google TTS stops working
Phone will not vibrate for SMS or email when in silent mode
BLN stays on for notifications until the phone is taken out of sleep (can be turned off)
Compass is why off (have not attempted to calibrate yet though)
11 MB left in the system partition (not much but I do not think there will be many changes there)
Video play back is choppy and some will not play
Bucky

regarding the black screen:
- had that too... I let it sit on the black screen for 2-3 minutes and then it went to the boot screen animation (a multi-coloured )...that for a few minutes...then finally booted.
How i got it working:
a) Started on MIUI...booted into clockwork
b) Backup
c) Wipe data / factory reset and cache and dalvik cache
d) Install rom and then kernel
e) Restart
f) Install rom and then kernel
g) Restart and wait very patiently for a little while
h) Once it all works, can reboot into clockwork and install superuser
Good luck! I really think the rom is nearly stable enough for daily use...
-------
Also have the no vibrate on silent... haven't tried the other stuff yet.
Oh and TTS hasn't crashed on this version yet for me...
Astrid glitches a little to a lot.

Changing from google tts to picco tts solves the problem there. As for the other stuff it is all reported as known.
I am using as a daily on my phone and no issues with general use. Still testing battery and that seems to be a bit of an issue with regard to Android OS as usual

So to install this ROM I would just have to install it as per totallydubbed's instructions? I don't want to flash miui if I don't have to to try this out.

Use the standard Torch app wherever possible, it only enables flashlight. Other apps from Play Store are designed to use the camera interface, which means camera will use additional power.
For more RAM: Settings->Performance->Memory management.
Do not enable KSM, as video encoder/decoder stops working.

Charge current - allows you to set custom charging current. While this actually limits the current input, it effectively decreases or increases the available current transferred to the battery. This is useful in multiple ways:
Slower, but more effective charging. Your battery will last longer.
Faster charging when connected to USB. For example, USB charging is limited to 500mA, but newer PCs allow drawing up to 800mA or even more. This can be configured via the setting.
Manual override of non-standard charger allowing to draw more than 500mA.
Magnetic sensor calibration - lets you delete previous calibration information. This is useful to recalibrate the compass (when it's inaccurate). Just tap the item & then open any compass up to recalibrate your sensor.
If the phone reboots unexpectedly, crash log is found at /data/dontpanic .

before installing the rom, i've wiped everything, data, cache, system and dalvkit cache, reboot recovery. After installed the rom, and right after, installed the gapps. Then, in recovery, reboot system and after it show the huawei logo, it enters recovery without showing the CM logo.
EDIT: i will install ble_part stock, and them install again the B518, repartition again and try to install CM again.

Booted and installed just fine after doing Blepart and using your recovery. It's slow as molasses, probably in great part due to the fact that the display glitches are still there, but it certainly works, and it's as much KitKat as my Moto G. Something worth mentioning, your recovery has some sort (the same?) of display glitch as well in which the screen only seems to update after a couple of presses of the volume button, not immediately.

ROM and GAPPS, everything works fine.
No glitches for me.
Great job, thanks!

I don't have any devices to compare it with so it feels "fast" to me. Its great to know the recovery suffers same display bugs, it confirms that its in fact kernel side problem. Though, kernel side does not have BLT enabled, which I thought would be the problem. I'll debug the registers, and see if I can find something odd. It could also be a clock hz issue, it was changed in 3.4.

Well, it stutters a lot, and it's not nearly as smooth as something like Aurora or even stock Huawei ROMs, but I'm sure it's related to the display issues or another issue like that because even scrolling through the Settings app or the little animation in the notification drawer that flips into the shortcuts stutters like hell and drags around, which shouldn't be an issue for this device and wasn't a problem with other ROMs, and overclocking and other user-level optimizations do nothing to alleviate it.
I did also notice black screens when waking the device from lockscreen (digitizer still works) almost every time, requiring multiple attempts until the display finally wakes. I know you squashed this one multiple times, but here it is again.
It's a miracle for this to happen to begin with, so I can't help to be amazed seeing KitKat on this device. Thank YOU so much, Blefish.

is anyone having problems to connect to wifi networks? i cant connect
EDIT: i guess that is a problem with the wireless definition of the rom, im thinking this, because i can connect to open networks, but when i change the segurity of the wlan to wpa or wpa2, i can't connect to it.
Could you look at this @Blefish?
Im not sure if its a bug or not, maybe something is broken in wpa.supplicant
[]

I have flashed BlePart recovery, i have rebooted the recovery and i have flashed blepart 2.2 then i have flashed CVM Version 6.0.4.6. The phone rebooted and now i cant open the phone or recovery. I tried to install offical 2.3 from sd card but i coudn't. How can i recover my phone?

Home button not working at all (tried several fixes)

(Edit 1) Found a fix already! Read post 2!!!
Hello there,
I've been having a OnePlus Two since 4 months already, and had like 2 or 3 home button not working issues.
They used to fixed by themselves after a couple of days of not working, but not this last time.
I tried already the reinstalling system (after formatting system via TWRP), clean it several times, hard reset (hold power button for more than 20 seconds), complete drain battery and fully charge it again, force stop fingerprint service, take out the tempered glass screen protector, and none of those solutions worked.
I here attach (copy the link, can't upload a video directly to this post) a video in which you can see that whenever I power on the screen (still locked), the home button works for several times, but as soon as I unlock it (pattern lock) it stops working. This makes me think that the problem is software, not hardware, but as I said before, already tried reinstalling OOS 3.0, wiping system, cache, data, internal storage, etc.
I compressed the video so it wouldnt be too big, but quality is good enough, just rise the volume so you can listen to the "vibration" that the home button produce.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Daniel Castro

Fix for the issue!
Forum people, I found a fix!
Ok, the solution for making the home button work again (with fingerprint sensor) is the following.
-Factory reset while in OOS 3.0
-Set up everything up and then reboot into fastboot mode
-Install OOS 2.1 via fastboot (you will need to search the forums for it)
-Set up everything up and try to set up fingerprint (it wont work)
-Copy OOS 3.0 (Beta) in the root of the phone
-Reboot into stock recovery and flash OOS 3.0 (beta)
-Factory reset it and set up everything again
-Voila!
Feel free to try this method and reply to this threat or P.M. me for any help.
Sincerely,
Daniel Castro

I have the same problem
Tomorrow i'll try your method
I've posted a questione about this issue,
I think the One plus team should find a solution to this problem that afflict many users

Also, don't forget to rotate your phone 720 degrees, counter clock wise! ? hocus pocus....

Will it erase my internal storage during that fast boot step? So I can backup all my data.

these fixes are all coincidences... we need to request a definitive fix from One plus team if is a software issue.

It will erase everything, make a backup before starting the process.

Most probably hardware design fault, solution would be to redesign the phone and release a fixed design, will probably not happen unless oneplus3 is the solution.
And I second that it's just coincident behind these back and forth flashing of firmwares "solving" it, almost religious. But what are people to do when oneplus is not a company that takes responsibility for they're mistakes.

If it works, its worth a try . And yeah, but we are not in any OnePlus Forum, neither debating about if they are gonna do anything about their own issue, we are trying to fix what an irresponsable company wont.

can we make together an official request to one plus to give us an answer or explanation about this? a lot of users are facing this issue, it's not normal
This is my second opt I bought that this problem has happened
sorry for my english

I had also tried lot of things but home button is not responsive at all.. H2os,exodus,oxygen 2.1 ,3.0 same everywhere
---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------
Error is: when i open fingerprint setting
Enrollment not working try differnt finger or try again ... Nd fingerprint autotest not starting also

i've turned to stock i've updated to oxygen 3.0 bet and the button worked again

i think rooting installing twrp and installing different roms may be the cause of this issue

Unfortunately that is not the case, it's a hardware design bug.
However you can f-k up your finger scanner by damage your persistant-partition if you flash up and down between different ROM/bootloader revisions. But it's easily fixed by flashing the image file for that partition again.

50/50 moisture sensitivity and driver issue.

Home button has been working fine for a year, installed 3.0.1 today and suddenly home button only works in OOS 3.0.1. No longer works in CM 13, yet works fine in OOS 3.0.1. Definitely a driver issue.
Tried installing OOS 2.2.1, wiping, then installing Grarak's CM 13 and home button refuses to work. Wiped system, data, cache, installed OOS 3.0.1 and home button works again. Tried wiping again and installed CM 13, home button stopped working. Wiped and reinstalled OOS 3.0.1, home button works again.

Odd thing, my phone will only work with CM13 roms and OOS 2.2.0 or less for fps and home button. Nothing will fix or ever work.

For me, the home button stopped working for a short while on Graraks, then it just jumped back to life again and I haven't had any more home button blackouts after that. If it's a driver issue, it's an extremely intermittent one.
The fingerprint scanner has stopped working from time to time at lockscreen, but this is acceptable for an official hackjobb supported scanner until official sources are released ?

Need Help with this!
Hi everyone!
I have a OP 2 for more than one and a half years now and never had any issues with it(stayed stock...) until recently. I didnt update the phone to the latest version and was putting it off, and today in the afternoon when I tried to unlock my phone it said the 'Fingerprint hardware is not available' and after unlocking the phone with the pattern, it IMMEDIATELY LOCKS ITSELF BACK !!! after split second it just locks the screen while everything is working like connection, wifi, messages, notifications, etc. but due to this I cannot access anything on the phone, can't go to settings and switch to onscreen nav bar buttons, can't force stop/wipe cache the com.fingerprints.serviceext either, tried restarting it several times, downloaded the update but can't even install it because the phone just locks! I have no idea what would fix it and I am avoiding a full reset and wipe on the phone(also based on all i have read, dont think it would fix it anyways)
If anyone knows whats the problem or has dealt with it or knows someone who has, please help me out here on how to fix this and what to do. I did not root it or flash custom ROM's on it yet so literally dont know why it happened.
Thanks,
Max

Yeah it is pretty stable barring few issues like lock screen sound is gone. WiFi still keeps dropping for me at times.

I never had noticeable wifi issues with my phone, both at 2.4 and 5 GHz networks, at home, work or traveling. I'm on stock ROM.
There could be a few toxic combinations of AP model, network and channel which may cause instability, but I never noticed that.

Oh, and my lock/unlock sounds work as expected. I never had to reset the device, though, and that seems to be one of the root causes.

i think it is more related to how i hold the phone. i think i disrupt the antenna signal. I m not sure however.

I passed on the December update due to the new Gestures crashing - and the inevitable factory reset.
Does anyone know whether I can update from November to January without having to factory reset?
Cheers!

Sure you can. Just fastboot the January factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat file. Make sure to disable all magisk modules and substratum themes first, set your screen lock to swipe, and update your platform-tools. And there ya go :good:

What I really meant was: with Nov to Dec, new gestures were broken and required a factory reset to get to normal state.
What I'm looking for is if I flash -w, will it still break gestures to the point of a needed factory reset? Or can I update/ flash -w and not having to factory reset?
Cheers!

Hard to say my friend. Month to month builds are comprehensive and inclusive. I would first try fastbooting without the -w first so you don't wipe data. If the problem persists, then do a factory reset, which you would do anyway if you did a clean fastboot install. Here is a list of fixes for January if that helps at all. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/24852169?hl=en :good:

My gestures are really glitchy and i frequently get defaulted back to the pixel launcher from my action launcher which supports the Android 10 gestures. I also get a lot of freezes/delays. I was running stock with magisk and kirasukura kernel. So I backed up my entire SD to my PC and now Im about to do a full wipe (keeping the -w in the flashall.bat file) and start android 10 fresh. For me its been long overdue.

I did the Nov/Dec update and didn't notice any gestures issues. What specific issues did you found ?

I installed a clean flash (full factory Image) of the January update. There major takeaways:
1) Titanium Backup does not batch restore files....at least not for app+data. I had to choose either small batch clusters to restore or do them one by one or download from the play store and restore data using Tb. Super PITA. Not sure why this doesn't work anymore.
2). Doing the clean wipe fixed a feature I was having issues with. RCS was not working on my corporate WiFi but it does now.
3). Unfortunately now all my notifications (including the incoming call screen) now come thru as a heads-up/peek notification and if I turn that off I get no notifications at all!! I can't figure out how to get normal notifications back. It is really frustrating.
Anyone else notice these thing or now how to fix them?

I think 1) is a known problem; I've had this issue on both stock and custom roms. TiBU needs to update for Q; with respect to 3), when my screen is locked and i receive a phone call, it shows the incoming call screen. Check out your settings>apps & notifications and see if you don't have something toggled off.

Is anyone having trouble, with using Magisk, on the latest update?
