Welcome to the NitrogenOS Q&A Megathread. Here you can find answers for the most popular problems and questions about NitrogenOS. I started this thread, so that new users don't repeatedly ask the same questions multiple times. While I am fairly new to coding in Java, I can definitely say I know a lot about Android phones and NitrogenOS, but you'll have to trust me on that. If you need any more help, you can even PM me and I'll try to reply as soon as I can.
You can find the original NitrogenOS thread here.
ROM info
Developer: xyyx
Latest Android version: 8.1 Oreo
NOS Download (latest): https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/kenzo/kenzo_test/8.1/
Bugs and updates
- A (very) small amount of users reported Google Dialer not working properly while installed through OpenGapps or the Play Store, you can still use stock dialer
1. Test or stable?!?!
Test in this case doesn't mean less stable. xyyx named the two versions a little confusingly.
Test means Oreo (Android 8.0 and 8.1) and Stable means Nougat (Android 7.1.2).
So let's make this a little less confusing:
Oreo (8.0) builds -> Download from here
Oreo (8.1) builds -> Download from here
Nougat (7.1.2) builds -> Download from here
2. Youtube PiP (Picture in Picture mode)
Google has patched PiP a long time ago, so it doesn't work with the latest Youtube releases. The last official release working with PiP is 12.34.55, which you can download from ApkMirror.
My preferred option however is iYTBP (injected YouTube Background Playback), a modified version of Youtube, but it gets a little confusing as there are multiple options.
You can download it from this thread.
Now the tricky part - choosing the right version. I always prefer the Vanced version, which can be found in the 2nd post. Again you have multiple options, but I will not go through all of them since they are explained pretty good in the post itself. While iYTBP enables PiP, it also blocks ads and adds a lot of useful settings and new updates come very frequently. There are multiple installation methods, but I prefer the Magisk one, since it offers options like detaching the Youtube app from Play Store. What this means is, that you don't have to disable auto-updates and it will not bug you to constantly update it.
You can try these methods:
Magisk Module (Easiest):
1. Open Magisk Manager
2. Go to Downloads
3. In the search bar type "Youtube", you should see two results
4. Choose either the normal or the black theme (I personally prefer the black one)
5. Press the download arrow and then "Install"
6. Wait for a while (it's a big package to download and unpack)
7. Reboot
This is by far the easiest option and the module is updated fairly often.
Manual:
1. Delete or uninstall any previous release of Youtube. If you installed it as a system app, disable it or delete the /system/app/YouTube folder. If you had to delete the folder, reboot.
2. Download the Youtube apk
3. Make a folder called YouTube (watch the caps!)
4. Move the apk to this folder and rename it as YouTube (again with the caps)
5. Copy/move the folder to /system/app (The directory should look like this: /system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk)
6. Reboot
Magisk (manual):
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. Since we're installing from Magisk, you'll need to set MAGINSTALL to YES (MAGINSTALL="YES"). I usually also enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Open Magisk Manager, go to Modules and press the + button. Now select the universal installer zip and flash it in Magisk.
4. Reboot
Recovery method:
Same as for Magisk, but MAGINSTALL is set to NO (MAGINSTALL="NO"). In case you didn't read the Magisk method, here is the recovery method...
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. I usually enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Reboot to recovery, go to Install and choose the universal installer zip, flash it.
4. Reboot
If you open a video in fullscreen mode and press the home button, it should open it in PiP mode. If you want to change some advanced settings, you can go to your Account (the round icon with your profile picture) -> Settings -> iYTBP Settings
3. Goodix & FPC - What are they
Goodix and FPC are two different types of fingerprint sensors (or rather sensor manufacturers). They both work in Android 8.1 builds. Custom kernels or mods may break the fingerprint sensor functionality.
4. Rooting
tl;dr: rooting NitrogenOS is the same as rooting any other custom rom, just flash Magisk, SuperSU, phh's superuser or anything else.
Now for the extended version.
Magisk:
Magisk is a great open-source root manager, developed by topjohnwu. It features a feature rich app, but most people prefer it because of it's "modules", packages which can do a bunch of things, from installing apps like Viper4AndroidFX or Dolby Atmos, to modifying system settings, like the volume steps increase. Magisk also features an option called "Magisk Hide", which can bypass Android's SafetyNet.
Check out the Magisk thread.
You can directly download the latest version of Magisk from https://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
SuperSU:
SuperSU is an alternative root manager. It used to be developed by Chainfire, but has recently been purchased by another company. I still prefer Magisk, but SuperSU is a great alternative for new users. My problem with it though is, that it is not open-source and the new buyer is pretty secretive so I don't really trust them.
Check out the SuperSU website for the download link.
phh's SuperUser:
Another open-source root manager, but the great thing about this one is, that it's very minimalistic and very small in size.
Check out the SuperUser thread and phh's Build Bot.
5. Google Apps (gapps)
Google apps are a vital part of custom roms. You might not know this, but AOSP and CM based roms are made from Google source code. Google actually makes Android open-source, but the Play Store and other Google apps are not. That's why roms like NitrogenOS do not come with the Play Store preinstalled. That is where Open Gapps come in. They are prepackaged apps, updated almost daily. They come in various sizes and versions, but they can all be flashed in TWRP like a normal zip file.
Platform: arm/arm64/x86/x86_64 - RN3 has an arm64 processor (Think of it as a 64-bit CPU for phones)
Android: 8.0/7.1/7.0... - This is the android version, NOS is Oreo based so choose 8.0 (Or 7.1 for Nougat) [Check below for OpenGapps 8.1]
Variant: This is where it gets complicated. There are a LOT of versions to choose from. For more in-depth resources check the OpenGapps' package comparison.
But OpenGapps are a lot more customisable, to the level where you can choose individual apps you want installed. The easiest way to do this, is to flash the Aroma package, which enables you to choose exactly which packages you want installed. Another option is to configure any of the selected packages using a gapps-config.txt file. You can learn more about that in the Advanced Features and Options section.
You can download daily builds for any Android version from https://opengapps.org/
6. TWRP (Recovery)
A recovery is a partition, used to flash files like ROMs, gapps and any other modifications. You do (in most cases) need an unlocked bootloader to use it. Unlocking your bootloader will not be described on this thread, as there are a lot of resources for our device.
Official TWRP - This is the official TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) for our device
You can find the latest updates for TWRP on their website.
Red Wolf - This is a modified version of TWRP, my absolute favourite because of it's custom features.
Flashing TWRP:
If you don't have a custom recovery installed and you have unlocked your bootloader, then download the latest version of your preferred recovery and follow these steps:
1. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows, or use sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot if you're on Linux.
2. Enable USB Debugging (Settings -> About phone -> Press "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer options). You should find the Developer options in settings above "About Device". Find USB Debugging and enable it.
3. Connect your PC to the phone via a cable. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot (which will open CMD) or Terminal on Linux and type this (same for both OSs): adb devices. Select "Always allow on this computer" and confirm access on your phone.
4. Reboot your phone to fastboot/bootloader (By holding Power and Vol-, releasing the power button after a vibration and holding the Vol- button until you see the Xiaomi mascot).
5. Type (In CMD/Terminal): fastboot devices, to confirm if the phone has been recognised, then fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
6. After it has succesfully finished, remove the cable and reboot directly to recovery (Power and Vol+, release power after vibration, but keep holding the Vol+ button until you see the TWRP or RedWolf logo).
If you do already have a custom recovery installed and just want to update it, flash the .img or .zip file in your already installed recovery and select "Reboot to recovery".
7. NOS asks me for a password after flashing?!!?!?
This is actually not NitrogenOS's fault, it's a byproduct of your previous rom, most often MIUI. What this means is, that your internal storage is encrypted and the only way to fix this, is to backup everything on your internal storage, which you can do by connecting your phone to your pc while in recovery. You should be able to access the phone's storage and move the files from there. If you for some reason can't do that, you can still put in an sdcard and copy the files to it in TWRP. Bottom line, backup the files and then go to "Wipe" and find the "Format data" button. You might see a "wipe data" button, but this is not the same. When you "wipe data" you are wiping your system, cache, dalvik cache and data partitions, but formatting data will format your internal partition as well and thus remove the encryption.
You can finally reflash NOS and gapps or whatever other modification you want.
8. Firmwares
Check out this link to download the latest firmware for our device.
What is firmware? - It's what connects hardware to software (don't confuse it with a kernel). It's what, for example, makes the camera work.
Do I really need firmware - Yes (but it's already installed, even after completely wiping the stock rom, since it's on separate partitions).
Do I need the most up-to-date firmware - Actually no, the only difference you will notice is in the signal and WiFi strength. If yours are good enough, you don't need to update, otherwise feel free to download the newest version from the link above.
What is emmc_appsboot.mbn? - It's a bootloader update. Bootloader or fastboot is the partition in which you have unlocked your bootloader and flashed the recovery. If you have officially unlocked your bootloader, then you can flash firmware with emmc_appsboot.mbn, but if you have unofficially unlocked your bootloader, do not flash these files as they will re-lock it. But you can still flash the version without emmc_appsboot.mbn.
Kenzo? Kate? - Kate devices are the same as kenzo ones but are a little bigger.
Some comparisons:
Kenzo
Size: 150 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 164g
Kate
Size: 152 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 167g
Model numbers:
Kenzo: 2015116
Kate: 2015161
Kate devices are 32/3 GB, and some kenzo devices are as well (some are 16/2 GB), not really sure about this part.
Global stable or developer? - Most people use developer roms, but again, this is not the actual ROM, just the firmware extracted from the rom, it doesn't really matter which one you choose.
When do I need to flash firmware? - If you're coming from MIUI8 (or 9), then you probably have the newest firmware. In this case you don't need to flash it, because MIUI roms already have firmware included in the update. If you're coming from a CM or AOSP based rom you also probably don't have to flash it, but I suggest you update it just in case. If your signal is good enough though, there really is no need.
9. How to flash the rom
Flashing is pretty straight forward. Just go to the Install section of TWRP and flash it like any normal zip, nothing special.
If you're coming from MIUI, then the full procedure is this:
1. Unlock your bootloader (google it, useless explaining it here)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Make a full device backup (Nandroid backup)
4. Copy or move all important files from the internal storage to an sdcard or your pc
5. Format data, or in other words, wipe EVERYTHING (excluding external storage) - This will delete all your photos and anything else in internal storage
6. Flash the latest NOS "test" build (Oreo)
7. Flash gapps (I recommend opengapps.org, check above)
8. Reboot to system
10. OTA?
What is OTA? - OTA means Over The Air (Update)
Does NOS have OTA? - Actually yes and no, newer updates (from March 2018 on) do have partial OTA (it does check for updates and notify you, while also giving a direct download link to SourceForge, but you will have to manually flash every update in your recovery.
What about incremental updates? - Sorry, but no. You'll have to download full packages every time. If you have a bandwidth cap then just download an update every week or two, you can check the changelog to see if you think it's worth updating to.
11. Google Camera
If you're having problems with the official Google Camera or just want some added features then look no further than modded camera apps. Check out this thread by emime12, it's very frequently updated and features a lot of different camera mods, including Google Camera, MIUI Camera, MOTO Camera and many more.
Recommended settings:
3x3 Grid - For better photos
I usually disable "Save location" and "Camera sounds"
Model: Pixel XL (corr) - default
Config camera HDR+: NEXUS 6
HDR+ parameters: Default
Panorama resolution: High
Advanced: Enable both
Experimental: I usually leave this disabled but it's your choice.
Back camera video resolution: UHD 4K (30 fps)
In case your camera doesn't work check if you have these two files and delete them:
/System/framework/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
and
/System/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
Credits go to: @emime12 and Njaiker.
You can find more info about problems and updates on emime12's thread.
Settings may differ a lot, so check emime12's recommended or just test until you find ones that work for you
12. RAM Management - Low free RAM
Android's RAM (Read Only Memory) management doesn't work like Windows'. Android manages RAM very well, "Free RAM is wasted RAM" is a very common expression on XDA. Android loads the first couple of apps into the RAM and priorities the open one. More used ram means more apps loaded in ram which means faster load times. Don't worry about it too much and just enjoy the fast loading speeds.
13. VoLTE?
VoLTE should work on Android 8.1. Magisk, Viper or any other mods may break it.
14. Custom kernels
While there are a lot of custom kernels, I suggest you stick with the stock one, as it is made specifically for NOS and thus it is the most stable. If you still want a custom kernel, you can try Radon or Agni but they might break VoLTE or your fingerprint sensor.
Agni XDA Thread - By psndna88
Radon XDA Thread - By Umang96
15. Daily driver or not?
Yes, NitrogenOS Oreo is very stable, definitely enough for a daily driver. It is the best Oreo rom for our device (in my opinion), as it offers just the right amount of customization and stability.
15. GPS
Some users have reported low accuracy, but you should be fine if you turn on High Accuracy mode and/or install Faster GPS.
Update: In recent updates GPS shouldn't be a problem anymore as xyyx has fixed it, but some users have still reported low accuracy.
16. Viper4Android FX
(There may be other ways, but I haven't tested them yet so I can't confirm if they work) By far the easiest way to install Viper4Android FX is using Magisk. There is Magisk module called ViPER4Android FX Materialized. Download and install that module from the Magisk repo, choose your preferred installation option (By pressing Vol+ or Vol- to select which version you want installed and if you want it materialized - for newest materialized version press Vol+ 2 times) and finally reboot. Try playing some music and open the Viper app. Turn on the "Master Power" switch and the "Playback Gain Control" (the easiest way to tell if it worked). If after a little time the volume increases, it means that Viper4Android FX works. If not, press the three dots and choose "Exit" (without turning off the master power or gain control). Now open the app again and it should work. You can also check that in the side menu under "Driver status", if it's enabled and processing, then everything works.
You may or may not have to exit and re-enter the app after reboot to enable processing (in my case I had to).
I would show you my recommended settings (as requested), but to be honest I only use:
Headset
Viper Bass (Natural bass, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB)
Viper Clarity (Natural, 6 dB)
Sometimes I use Field surround with default settings
Phone speakers
eXtra loud (Slight, 4x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
Bluetooth device
Playback gain control (Moderate, 6x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
If I'm at a party with my bluetooth speaker I pump it up to Extreme and 8x max gain
Viper Bass (Natural, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB), 17 dB for parties
Viper Clarity (Natural, 3.5 dB)
I don't use equalizers or if I do, they are song-specific. I also don't USB/Dock, so I can't recommend anything there.
Of course these settings can vary depending on the song, so choose those, which you like the most and don't stick with just those I chose, try all the functions to see which you prefer.
17. AdAway (Root)
AdAway is a great open-source root ad blocker, which can automatically download and update sources and works by adding those to the hosts file. It work well on the internet, but also inside apps (most of the time).
Check out the official AdAway website. You can also download it from F-Droid.
Adaway v3.2 (60) (direct download link)
Adding custom host sources:
Go to "Host sources" and add your own sources or check out these: AdAway's host sources
Be careful when adding all of them, since some can block legitimate links like goo.gl.
AdAway also offers an option to scan for Adware, which can be found under "Scan for adware". This will bring up a new window, press "Start scanning". If you don't need/want the mentioned apps you can uninstall them, but AdAway can't block their ads.
You can also check out my recommended settings:
wow,really appreciated that sir., it is very helpful specially for those who wanted to try, flashing rom or any mods on their device like me. thanks and keep up the good work sir God bless!
i think i can add up little bit here.
1) u r on miui & u want to flash nitrogen so u go to recovery and backup ur current rom in case if u dont like nitrogen u can restore back to miui with all ur setting & app. now assume u r on nitrogen, after 4-5 days u dont like nitroge & u decided to come back to miui, so u go to recovery and restore yr backup that u have taken earlier. after success booting the screen with pin or password will appear. so u would enter/guess any previous password, pin u used earlier but it will not open. here the real problem come. i have also faced same issue & got upset searching endless solution on google . u will get mad on u. security bypass will also not work. after spending endless hour i come with solution. download aroma zip search on net. flash it through recovery this will help u to get in system its ike file manager. then head to data, system and delete all file u see below
locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal, gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key
and then restart, yr problem would be solve.
2) nitrogen os does not support video calling via jio. none custom rom other then then miui support.
3)xposed is not available for oreo.
4)i have used nitrogen oreo for about 2 weeks it is stable but not as miui. some time r net would not work, jio call drop, lagging u have to restart on every time u faced problem. i suggest that wait for some time to roll out nought port for kenzo with zero bug & this will happen soon.

@Aditya1011 Mate, what happened? No reply? Huh. Latest firmware. No magisk, no any kind of root. No sound mod. Still Volte not working on 2nd Sim on 3 different Kenzos.
@JustMeErazem Please include in your post that VoLTE is indeed buggy.

Sim card detection issue
Sometimes nitrogen os Oreo does not detect sim cards after reboot so I changed ROM and installed aosp extended. I know that Xyyx has already mentioned this as bug. Due to this bug it is not daily driver. Hope xyyx will fix this as soon as possible. If you have solution, please share it.

Dude, it's really not a big problem, it detects it like 95% of the time. Just reboot and you're done. Or wait about 2 min and it should detect it. You could also just remove the sim and reinsert it. But since the latest few updates for me it gets detected 100% of the time. So update to 28/10/2017 build and you should be fine.
@JustMeErazem You're giving flase info. to others saying that VoLTE works on both sim. Actually, it works only on first sim. Tried, tested on 3 different Kenzo's. Clean flashed.
Conclusion: VoLTE doesn't work on 2nd sim.

HARDWARE MODs
DISCLAIMER
AS ALWAYS DO ON YOUR OWN RISK. HARDWARE MOD can potentially damage or burn your device
don´t come to cry if your phone xploded,nuclear blasted or melted
Use 2 sim + 1 Micro SD card at the same time
Is not that hard and will be easy for less experienced hobbyists
So here we go : (pictures are bellow)
--Micro-SIM heated above a under cup of HOT coffee or HOT tea or HARIRA for a few seconds until the plastic was soft.
--gently bent down the soft plastic then and slide the gold-plated part(chip with contact plate). This part bend in any case! Now you have a MICRONANO-SIM (still smaller than Nano-SIM).
--Super Glue MICRONANO SIM on the SD card.the sim card will be a little over the edge of the SD card, as the drawer of the phones it has a recess. (SIM is 90 degrees rotated to the SD card inserted) Had me the exact position of the SIM previously penciled in pencil on the SD card. Recommendation: During the gluing, cover the terminals of the SD card with tape to prevent superglue boils.

Screenshot please
Root genius does not work at all for rooting the global stable rom
Quick query - I just got the phone, and I have the global 7.1.7.0 version. So if I want to switch to the developer ROM, I just have to download the updater file, choose the package from the updater section in settings and just flash it? No need for root or bootloader unlocking?

I can't get te screenshot because I remove it.
But it's logic, the Xposed files that you uploaded are for Redmi Note 3 Hennesy (MTK) not Kenzo (SD) because MTK uses MIUI 7 based on 5.0.1 and SD uses MIUI 7 based on android 5.1.0.
SDK21 is for Android 5.0.1 and SDK22 is for Android 5.1.0 You known what I mean?

thanks for the heads up i mixed the files. OP updated
Hi @Perfectdevil
Firstly, thank you very much for creating this thread for the Redmi Note 3 PRO.
Second, please check the information in your OP. The China DEV ROM 6.3.17 does indeed have ROOT - you just need to enable it from the Security/Permissions App. This will download and install an update providing native root access. It's not quite as useful as SuperSU but it does work.
Please check your instructions for loading TWRP because this method (which was originally posted by @feds64 on Mi Forums) does not result in a permanent TWRP installation. (TWRP disappears after reboot). This is all explained in thread on MI forums, and the only way to get it to work is to flash a cracked boot.img.
Without a lasting TWRP (or with stock recovery only) things like Flashify just won't work. So we can't use Flashify to flash Xposed without TWRP. And if you have TWRP, then Flashify is not necessary.
Anyway, look forward to more info here.

Flashfire requires SuperSU (doesn't seem to work with native root).
And TWRP is required to install SuperSU

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.

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?...

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.

I can see you're not as active as before sur.You need to get some v0lte in your life.
Hello everybody:
GSI ROMS finally have Fingerprint on display (fod) support, so I decided to try it today.
It was quite difficult to make everything work, since there are a lot of guides in X2 Pro forum and XDA, so I decided to create this thread to make things easier to other users that want to use GSI ROMS.
My device is a Realme X2 Pro Chinese, but this should work on any X2 Pro.
The guides I used as references are these ones:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/how-to-flash-aosp-android-10-gsi-realme-t4036825
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/how-to-flash-havoc-evolution-gsi-t4040607
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/how-to-flash-aosp-android-10-gsi-realme-t4036825
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-discussion/guide-fix-bluetooth-audio-a2dp-aptx-gsi-t3950938
And probably other ones I found at internet that I can't remember at this point
1. Pre-requisites
- Unlocked bootloader
- TWRP Installed (I use Orange Fox)
- Color OS Firmware A08+ or A13+ (chinese)
Don't do it being on Realme UI, there are some features that won't work with the new firmware/vendor, FP included (Ironically, bluetooth gets fixed).
- Any software that can uncompress .xz files (most of GSI comes in this format)
2. Choosing your ROM
The first step is to find any rom that you like, it must has these features:
- It has to be based on phh's AOSP v214 or newer.
- It must be A/B ARM64.
You can look for one here:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-%28GSI%29-list
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would suggest to pick phh's AOSP ROM or LOSQ Project which is really close to phh's source.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
https://github.com/eremitein/treble-patches/wiki/LOSQ-Project
Bugs as of March 03, 2020
At this time, every phh's based rom has the following bugs:
- In-call bluetooth
- Bluetooth media playback (can be solved)
- Auto brightness
- Securize (I tried to use it but never done anything)
And there may be more bugs included on the rom you're using (lineage, havoc, evo, losq, posp, etc)
3. GApps (Optional)
Note: many roms has 2 variants, one with GApps included and one vanilla, depending on the one you choose, you'll have to do this step.
If you need Google Services and the ROM you downloaded does not include them, you need to pick a Gapps package.
Personally, I like BitGapps, but you can choose any you like as long as they are made for ARM64 Android 10.
BitGApps
FlameGApps
OpenGApps
4. Bluetooth fix
Before flashing the ROM, you have to delete the file BluetoothResCommon.apk from your vendor. You may want make a copy of it.
For this, you can do this action in the following ways:
- using a file explorer
Search in the root (/) the path /vendor/overlay
Search the file BluetoothResCommon.apk
Make a backup of the file
Delete the file
- adb and root
Connect your phone to your PC and run these commands from terminal or cmd:
adb pull /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk
adb shell
su
rm /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk
- adb and twrp
Enter in recovery mode
Mount vendor partition
Connect your phone to your PC and run these commands from terminal or cmd:
adb pull /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk
adb shell
rm /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk
This section is based from this guide. Only the first step is needed, X2 Pro build.prop has already some working configurations.
5. Flashing ROM and Gapps
- Download the ROM file (if you haven't)
- If ROM it's compressed (xz), then uncompress the file and copy the rom_name.img file to your phone
- Copy GApps to your phone (optional)
- Enter in TWRP
- Choose the file rom_name.img
- Flash it as "System image"
- If you're flashing GApps, follow this steps:
- Go to Partitions
- Select system
- Resize partition
- Flash GApps package
If this steps shows you errors, you can reboot to recovery and try again- Format data
- Reboot system
Note: according to many guides and people, certain roms like havoc won't boot if you don't set your selinux to permissive.
I tried havoc some weeks ago and I didn't needed to do that, but in case the rom you picked doesn't boot, flash Permissiver_v5 from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/how-to-flash-havoc-evolution-gsi-t4040607
6. Magisk
As of March 15, 2020, phh's Magisk works, yes, but it has the following issues:
- App installation becomes slower
- Internal storage becomes read and append only, you can't modify files or delete them.
For those reasons I do not recommend to install it at this moment. Whenever it gets fixed, I'll update the guide with the proper links.
7. First steps in your new ROM (including 90hz)
Now that your rom has booted (I think), there are some basic configs that you may want to do:
- Get LTE working:
In my case, by default the ROM were locked on WCDMA, which is 3G+ in my operator, follow this steps to change it
- Go to Settings
- Open Network & internet
- Select Mobile network
- Look for Preferred network type
- Choose the one that works better for you. I selected global.
- Enable device features:
By default, some of our device features come disabled, lets change it
- Go to Settings
- Open Phh Treble Settings
- Open Oppo features
- Select Enable DT2W
- Select Enable Game Mode
- Select Enable USB OTG- Open Misc features
- Select Expose Aux cameras
- Select Force Enable Camera2API HAL
- Enable 90HZ!
And finally, for enabling 90HZ:
- Go to Settings
- Open Phh Treble Settings
- Open Misc features
- Select Force FPS
- Choose 90.0 (or 60.0 if you don't want it)
- Nice
8. Google Camera (GCam)
Get a funcional GCam was really hard, I tried several versions like Urnyx, Tiger, BSG and Arnova. They didn't work, whenever I made a picture or video the app closed, even loading the config.xml
After a lot of effort, I found one that is working pretty well, including features like night mode! It's a very specific version, GCam_5beta6.200105.0445build-7.2.018.apk others didn't work
Just download and install it:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog955/
Note: You probably will need to download Google Photos app, I already use it, so it worked from the first run.
9. Viper4Android (V4A)
And last but not least, for people that uses V4A, these are the steps to making it work without Magisk.
1. You will have to set your selinux to permissive, if you haven't, flash Permissiver_v5
2. Go to this site https://zackptg5.com/android.php#viper and download Rootless Driver Installer
3. Flash the file
4. Reboot and install Viper4Android 2.7.0.1 or newer
5. Profit!
There are some screenshots at the attachments
Many thanks to all the devs, contributors and XDA Users that made possible to have AOSP GSI in X2 Pro, some of them:
@phhusson @natedogg20050 @ospeto @SrCDA @Jerry08 @mauronofrio
Auto brightness and aptx hd also not working out of the box . But aptx hd can be enable with a magisk module. Thanks for this guide.
is volte working?
@EdgardoSchiffer Good stuff, did you use a specific config for the Gcam?
Also you could add Youtube Vanced to your guide I've found that the non-root works best https://vanced.app/

GPay probably not, by default even Netflix does not appear on Play Store
You can get root with Magisk, but you will have the bugs I wrote on thread. I don't know if there is any other root method
I just use latest magisk from official website and have no bugs like you mentioned. I am on phh latest gsi.

There is a root, but system files cannot be changed or deleted, check for yourself through the file manager
Ah yes, it become read only file system. But magisk modules working OK right? We can use twrp for deleting or modifying system file.
This is cool, though LOSQ tends to freeze and reboot from time to time. It's happened to me 4-6 times since yesterday.
How to go to stock. Do we need any Bluetooth fix?

Flash stock ozip from recovery, you don't need any fix since the it will override the changes you've done in vendor

U need to flash vbmeta.img if it stuck at bootlogo.
Don't forget that all those ROMs that we can use on our phones are because of one guy and he just added fingerprint reading on Realme phones a few days ago, so go and Sponsor him on Github!
https://github.com/sponsors/phhusson
I just did and for a year Github matches the donation:
To supercharge community funding, GitHub created the GitHub Sponsors Matching Fund, which matches up to $5000 USD total per sponsored developer in their first year, or 12 months, of sponsorship.

Wonderful suggestion, just did the same
Great work guys!!!
ist it possible to fix the Bluetooh Audio issue (Headphones are connected, but music is played with the speakers of the phone) after installation of the ROM?
Furthermore, left swipe does not show the Google Discover feed and 'o.k. Google' doesn't respond to my voice.

Read the guide, mount Vendor in TWRP or OrangeFox and you'll be able to find it in the file manager in the recovery.
Can't help with the last part though.
Thanks, that works
Anyone else, who has an idea why 'O.K. Google' isn't working? It's not possible to set it up in the Google App.
For me, Bluetooth for media audio didn't work. I've remove Bluetoothres.apk before flashing. How to do? Flash last version 215, is it value to do?
Many thanks for the great effort, OP.
I haven't had any luck in installing any GSI on my Gloabl X2 Pro and I have been trying for a week now. I noticed every thread has different method, which got me very confused. I would like to thank you for stating the system Pre-requisites, not many HOW-TO guides state the firmware requirement.
Before i ask my question, i didn't have any luck with your method either. The question is, in the reference links you provided, they talk about vbmeta and pushing fstab.qcom, but you didn't mention anything about them in the steps. Am i missing something?
i just want to install a GSI, i don't care about any fix. I just want a GSI to boot because after SUCCESSFULLY installing the image then wiping data, i get into a bootloop. So my priority is just getting a GSI to boot.
I am on RMX1931EX_11_A.10
I appreciate anyone's input into solving my issue

Notes
• Build type: User
• Encryption not supported, Decrypted by default
• Selinux is Enforcing
• FMRadio Included
• Do not flash recovery.img available on the spark download website
Flashing Instructions:
Clean flash (Coming from a different ROM):
• Download ROM
• Download Custom Google Apps Package (Like Nikgapps core/basic or Mindthegapps) if the ROM is Vanilla variant (On GApps ROM variant Google Apps are included, don't flash a separate Custom Google Apps package)
• Reboot to Recovery.
• Wipe System, Data, Vendor, Cache, Dalvik/ART cache partitions
• Flash latest stable firmware v11.0.3.0 before flashing ROM
• Flash ROM zip
• Flash Custom Google Apps Package if the ROM is Vanilla variant
• Reboot to system
To get root access, Reboot to recovery after ROM setup and flash Magisk.zip
BOOTLOOP SITUATION: If you are coming from stock/custom MIUI or any ROM which had data ENCRYPTION, you will face bootloop and can not boot into the system. In such case you need to FORMAT data after flashing the ROM. Otherwise the ROM won't boot (Read detailed instructions from here)
Dirty flash (Updating to a newer build):
• Download the new update ROM zip
• Reboot to recovery
• Do not wipe anything
• Flash the new update ROM zip
• Flash the same Custom Google Apps Package again you flashed before (For vanilla users)
• Flash Magisk again if you are rooted before (For rooted users)
• Wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART cache
• Reboot to system
Important note regarding SparkOS 13.6 update
This is a huge rebase of the ROM's source code after the March update, So Clean flash is MANDATORY for all users. Some bugs from previous versions have been fixed in this version and some new features can be noticed. Some customizations have been temporarily removed (eg: Smart charging, QS row & column customisation etc) and will be added in future releases (Read official community post).
You should be aware of some known source bugs in this release before updating to 13.6. These bugs are not device specific and are present in all Spark official devices which will be fixed in the next update.
Known bugs are;
1. Launcher settings are crashing with light theme (works fine with dark theme). You can use a different Launcher but I think Pixel launcher Extended will not work anymore as spark is now completely based on lineage
2. Shortcut buttons glitches in recent panel.
3. Visual glitch on Quicksettings/Statusbar after a reboot (Restarting SystemUI fixes it for now)

No issues with viper4Android here.
Check if you've rooted properly?
Or maybe you are using a mod version of viper4Android.
Been using it for half a year and it's the best Android 13 rom I tried (not that there's many that are up to date)

I used the repackaged v4a from github. Clearly something went wrong here if it's working at your end. I'll try again later when I'm home as I'll need to install from scratch having reverted to A12. Guessing maybe I just needed to reboot again or something. Here's the version I used:
GitHub - programminghoch10/ViPER4AndroidRepackaged: A refined ViPER4Android installer.
A refined ViPER4Android installer. Contribute to programminghoch10/ViPER4AndroidRepackaged development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
I have to say the smooth responsiveness on these new A12/A13 ROM builds is surprising given how often A11 would lock up for me. Maybe my device just finally needed a reset idk.
OK. Mystery solved. Turns out that Viper4Android does indeed work - it just needed an extra reboot.
So I flash it > reboot > v4a App appears on next boot but doesn't work > reboot again > v4a works.
Weird but makes sense. Sorry for the confusion.
I couldn't receive this kind of google login authorization on this rom "is it you trying to sign in". Device wasn't appearing in google account double verification. No problem in a13 elixir.
Also sadly no option 2g connectivity.
Rom itself seems smooth. ATM moved back to A10
I have problem, the screen show on/ off at redmi boot logo
CPU cores seam to be locked to 1400 mhz
Hello İ installed latest Spark OS gapps build on my a205f i loved the rom but it has a bug phone screen freezes cant close the screen no reaction to calls,notifications,holding down the power button the only solution is to wait for the battery drain it happened 2 times what can i do i guees this build is laggy
This is possibly a long shot but any chance of modified files for higher quality audio on Bluetooth SBC (or AAC)? It used to be you could patch it in via Magisk but the module no longer works on newer android versions and if I'm correct the edits need to be made before a ROM is built. If you're able to, any chance of some experimental files for me to try out?
I think the values are in a2dp_sbc_encoder for SBC, a2dp_aac for AAC. A2DP_XXX_DEFAULT_BITRATE 000 where XXX is SBC or AAC and 000 is the bitrate in kbit/s.

Hi,
I installed this rom, until I see it I'm liking it, but the screen rotation doesn't work.
Any idea?
Thanks...
Hello everyone, just flashed this ROM on my Vince (coming from Elixir 3.3 - A13).
Since I use this phone to debug my apps, I need to connect Chrome DevTools to it.
What I've done so far:
- wiped everything
- installed Spark-13.3-Official-vince-20230105-gapps
- installed Magisk 25.2
- registered my Google account
- updated all apps (through Play Store)
- enabled Developer options, then USB debugging
Now, when I launch Chrome DevTools on PC, I can see the phone but the webpages list is empty; it also doesn't show any WebView instance (see the screenshot below).
Remote debug was working with Elixir 3.3 on the same phone and PC, so I suppose the difference is in some ROM setting... something to be changed here, but I'm out of ideas...
Does anyone have any suggestions about this?

First, make sure you have enabled auto rotate screen option. It is disabled by default.
If it's enabled send a screenshot from sensor test app (available in playstore). ROM doesn't have issues auto rotates screen.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12L (Sv2), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Githup repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.
Installation:
If you are on stock OS, you need a custom recovery first. You can get the recommended LineageOS recovery in the official installation instructions link below.
You can use TWRP for installation, however it is no longer officially supported since we do not have full control of its update cycle and potential issues.
If you are coming from stock or other ROMs, you need to make a factory reset.
As always, make sure to backup before installing this ROM.
Installation Instructions:
Backup your data and see the next post below

Acknowledgements:
Thanks to @mikeioannina for his hard work regarding kuntao and to all other Lineage OS developers
Special thanks to @Astridxx for the device tree sources and for helping me out and to @en666 for early testing the initial build
Important Notes:
As you can see from my profile, I'm not an experienced developer. I've made some builds as a considerable amount of users showed interest in having their devices updated with latest LineageOS code. Therefore, my main objective here is to bring the latest Android security patches to kuntao making monthly builds.
To be clear, I'm more in a situation of "user became builder" than of "ROM developer". Please, understand this.
Long live to our beloved kuntao!

Dirty flash still not supported (tree changed), please make a clean flash
Thank you so much for keepng Lineage alive, its very much appreciated.
@leo_97 thank you for this new build! Installed it straight away and now the phone is running since then and also, I've flashed with battery at 67% and atm, after a quite hard usage to test out the new features, I'm on 13%. Basically, so far so good!
p2a42, twrp 3.7, rooted, unencrypted
Thank you @leo_97 !
I was frustrated that Lineageos 18.1 was no longer maintained when I saw this update!
It's amazing
To all users and developers who tested and created this ROM, is it time to switch on this version ?
Or is it better to wait ?
For example, automatic update is possible after install ?

Thank you @leo_97 !
I was frustrated that Lineageos 18.1 was no longer maintained when I saw this update!
It's amazing
To all users and developers who tested and created this ROM, is it time to switch on this version ?
Or is it better to wait ?

You are welcome
If it's time to switch, I believe it's a matter of personal decision. Maybe you could wait the next build and then decide...
If with "automatic updates" you mean OTA updates, then the answer (as already pointed out by @utwer ) is no. But once the trees are stable enough, I hope every user will be able to just update to the newer versions flashing ROM ZIP through TWRP (just like it's done on LOS18.1)
BTW, IDK if you already saw it, but we are maintaining a monthly build of LOS18.1 which you can download from here. The source tree used there is far more tested (as it's older) than this one. Anyway, except by the encryption thing, you shouldn't have any problems using this LOS19.1 ROM as our amazing developers made an excellent job here.
Reg, Ive installed it and I may say it is quite good. Not tried to root it yet. Dont have direct problems with ROM and functionality, for me everything works. Camera, Location, GSM, Data, WiFi. With developer options I've turned off Animation scale on three options to OFF, and is good. Stable reliable.
MindTheGapps-12.1 works every app from Google, Phone, Contact, Gmail, maps...etc...
What I need root mostly is for Call recording (Skvalex) and Viper4Android.
Some words about twrp-3.7.0_9-0-kuntao.img,
With this I have only problems, so far I lost a few backups and I need to install it all over again a few times allready. Disappointed very. I can't rally on this when I make a nandroid ba.ckups.
Also lost backups for LOS18.1 and I am been very pis....ed off. Error 255 on System recovery, other Data, Boot, EFS, Vendor, etc.. recovery is good.
So I've installed OrageFox for Kuntao. Tried several backups to restore already and I may say I am very satisfied. Puh
What is on my mind, when I installed a Magisk 25.2, no matter of LOS 18.1 or 19.1 with very few modules, after 7-8 reboots I've got boot loops which is beyond repairable.. Try to remove modules in TWRP in file manager, uninstall whole magisk, no way, but what it is seems that DATA got corrupted some how, everytime.
There were also installed TWRP mentioned above.
Now I am with OrangeFox and I will try tomorrow to Root it and see is there any connection between Magisk and recovery software (OrangeFox or TWRP).

Tried quickly this ROM yesterday. In general all working, but didn't test much.
Few feedbacks:
-Scaler for brightness level is weird, very different from the original Lenovo roms. Anyway, not really important, but something that I noticed.
-Missing haptic feedback when using the fingerprint reader as a gesture button. Again, not critical, but I am really accustomed to it and thus I noticed immediately.
-Missing haptic feedback intensity regulation, or could not find it. It's there for general call/notification vibration, but if I remember correctly lineage could also change haptic.
Impressed that you could integrate also some lenovo features, even if of course not all of them
If you want me to test something more specific, please let me know. Ah, my model is the 4 GB/ 64 GB combination.
Cheers!

So for 18.1 we can just flash the newer versions via TWRP and do not have to reinstall the entire ROM?

So,
Resolved issue of bootloops:
after you install SU like Magisk, and wan to freeze apps by Titanium Backup or Neo-Backup, Apps which causes bootloops are ROM's Phone and Massages (In my case, for 16.1, 18.1, 19.1), I freeze Audio.apk who need to be shutdown for Viper4Android app who takes audio management and freezing is OK.
But Phone and Massages which are frozen cause bootloops, so you need to return from freeze state somehow in TWRP or OrangeFox with file management or revert backup. Revert backup is easier .
Camera; found issue when suddenly is out of work and cannot be connected to app. Also have problems with video cast Skype, Viber, Whatsapp, Telegram video is frozen. Hardly switch in Camera app from Camera mode to Video mode and vice-versa.
Clock & Info; missing dock icons and info, can't "capture" moment for reason when they disappear but after a while all is returned again.
P2oggle, left switch button work okey in form of 0.4 version.
Reg,
thanks on the development for this 19.1 ROM.

Hello,
I've been using this ROM as my daily driver and couldn't confirm this camera bug, could you please give a few extra details? I tested on Telegram app. Which version are you using? The Play Store's one or the one from Telegram's official website? Did you give the app "While using app" permission or "Ask every time" permission for camera? Are you sure the QS Tile "Camera access" is activated (available) when the mentioned bug occurs?
Regarding the Clock widget, yes, there's a small glitch and I'm not sure on how to fix it, if it doesn't load at all, a system reboot should fix it.
P2oggle v1.2 is 100% working as far as I can tell, so you guys can try it too if you want.

I'm not sure if it's possible to "fix" the brightness slider.
If with "haptic feedback" you mean the phone vibration, you can just adjust it to your liking in Settings > Lenovo parts > Vibration strength, it should affect fp reader too, dunno if it affects call vibration but IFAIK it should.

Yes on latest Telegram app from web site, tried with Google Meet, Whatsapp, Viber.., always breaking connection with API/drivers. Yes I gave all permissions to Camera. If I am not giving permissions for camera, I have always noticed to confirm what I am giving, so I am excluded from this solution. And clean storage and cashe from app regular but not prevail.
But, in a while after installed a new ROM without giving SU/Root I noticed this behavior, right after I wrote earlier post up. My bad .
Choppy startup of camera, can't easily transfer from video 2 camera and vice-versa, so I tell to my self to test intensively.
Regarding the Clock widget, yes, there's a small glitch and I'm not sure on how to fix it, if it doesn't load at all, a system reboot should fix it.

Great job, dude.
Previous versions had some buggy charging driver that left a wakelock running after each charging, and u had to restart phone each time or leave it to slowly drain battery by not going to sleep.
Somehow this problems seems to be gone in your build and that is awesome.
I've been using the build for about 2 weeks now and so far everything seems to be working fine.
