As the title says, I just updated to OOS 9.0.3 and it's so different from the old one i'm really scared to try anything and risk to brick the phone...
I have several problems with the phone (nothing too scary thankfully) and I was thinking some of you could help here.
1) Nova Launcher isn't working properly. When I try to see the apps menu (where all the apps icons are displayed) it just doesn't show up, instead i just see the background and the apps can be seen just a bit in the upper part.

}
However, I can touch the screen and the apps open where the icons should be... I tried to update nova, but the apk gives me the "app not installed" error and I'm not sure why.
2) Not rooted. I want to root the phone. I had it rooted before the update, but considering the last time i tried to root the phone without looking exactly what to do all my memory got wiped, I need to know exactly how to install Magisk and TWRP without bricking the phone or deleting anything... I have a method already that works, but I'm not sure with this now.
3) Is it possible to change the "recent app" orientation to vertical instead of horizontal? Also, is there an easier way to lock and unlock a recent app?
4) Is there a way to link Do Not Disturb to the slider?
5) Xposed is not installed. To be honest I forgot how to install that one, has it changed with this new OS update?
I might have more questions, but that's all for now, I updated like an hour ago, so I haven't been able to try it out more
thank you
Alright, I can try to help with some of your issues, but not all.
Don't worry about the new stuff, you'll get used to it quickly. Some things are still a bit "under development", but mostly is very usable. You'll not break anything and as long as you can boot into fastboot, your phone will be alright.
I cannot help with Nova launcher, I'm not using it.
If you have your bootloader unlocked, then just flash the newest Magisk zip, and you're good to go. Just to be safe, download the MagiskManager app and also the uninstaller zip, so if you end up with a bootloop, you can uninstall it.
I don't think that you can change the recenets, but I might be wrong. If you click the 3 dots in the top right corner of the app, you can lock / unlock it.
I was wondering about the same. I tried to link the DND to the slider with Tasker, without luck so far.
To my knowledge, there is no stable version of Xposed for Pie just yet. There's a beta or alpha build which is somewhat working though.

I recently took a screenshot that revealed another background window behind a warning message window that says "Hello world, PM EasyView!"
Is this some kind of malware? I tried scanning my phone with Lookout Security and it did not detect anything suspicious.
It all began when all of a sudden my stock 2.2.2 Defy's Task Manager kept showing popup messages telling me that my Hotmail app is running for too long and is consuming memory. This never happened before, ie. Task Manager app showing warning messages about apps running for too long. I suspect a malware infestation. Please advise.

If you are scared that you are infected by malware the only "safe" thing to do is a full data wipe.
You dont have clockworkmod installed do you? Would be helpfull to have a full copy of the system to analyze it. I think clockworkmod would be a perfekt method to get a copy of the whole system.
sorry i don't know how to solve this. maybe it's time for you to change to some other ROMs...

Well not exactly scared but I was just wondering about the origin of that "Hello world" message. "PMEasyView"? I wasn't able to find any app or developer by that name among the apps installed on my phone. Just was wondering if anyone here knew thats all. I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick, does it install Clockworkmod too? Or do I have to do it separately?

I did install CM 7.1(2.3.7) but I didn't quite like it..I mean don't get me wrong..CM 7.1 is awesome but the ADW launcher kept crashing on me, something was eating up the battery way to fast and this is weird but I found that the sound quality(headphone and speaker) had actually deteriorated..maybe I didn't get some settings right but anyways I decided to roll back to the Motorola stock 2.2.2 froyo JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7 and wait until CM9 was out.
Thanks for the replies guys..really appreciate you taking the time.

If adw doesn't work for you, you can download another one from the market. I use go launcher and it works without any problems and damn fast. You should give it a try.

Well it's typical behavior of mallware - I dont have information, that stock task manager will inform you, that some process is running more than x minutes ... try wipe to factory settings and you'll be sure.
Rooting doesn't install Clockworkmod. You only get superuser after rooting. Install 2nd-init and you get Clockworkmod.
You should start using Droidwall and AVG antivirus pro. Try limit the data freedom running in the background.
Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll wait for CM9. I do have Droidwall installed and I've scanned my phone thoroughly with Lookout Security but nothing was detected. Is it possible that the firmware posted here, the 2.2.2 India one is somehow infected?

I took another screenshot of the supposed malware today, this time without the task manager message. I was able to dismiss the task manager message by pressing the search key somehow.
I have seen exactly that same message today. I thought I have been fairly careful about Malware. However, there was an update that was installed from marketplace today.
I wonder if it is possible to look at an update history.

Is the message window in your case appearing under the exact same circumstances as mine? Which ROM are you using? And also if its possible could you do an inventory of the all the apps installed on your phone, then perhaps we can pinpoint the source. Thanks for the reply.
I updated a few days ago to mje and had to Reroot my phone. Anyways since then I've been getting this alert in the notification bar. It appears to be a legit vzw app. When I click it, it asks me to scan my phone for malicious stuff. I froze it yesterday and it stopped but I wasn't sure if it's something worth keeping. Anybody else getting this?
MJC
Wow am I the only one?
I had un froze it last night and scanned with it. But last night I had some major battery drain, I look at the stats and this app was at the top with 53%. So I froze it again and won't be un freezing.
MJC
Yeah, if your rooted you definitely need to get rid of that program. Because superuser is a system modification, and it is detecting it as such.
♢NoteIII♢
I've been getting this nonstop since I rooted about an 3 hours ago. I wanted to avoid freezing any apps (cuz I forget later when OTAs come up and don't want to flash/wipe jus to fix it) is there any other ways to fix it? I'm sure other people are getting this when rooting.
Actually, there is. there's a new xposed mod called RootCloak. It's available in the xposed installer download section. What happens is once you activate it, you choose which APK's you want to hide superuser from. It keeps that app from knowing your phone is rooted. I use it for Flixster , because currently Flixster will not stream movies onto a rooted phone. I just found it and it works like a champ!
♢NoteIII♢
I installed root cloak but I don't see that app listed on it, at least not under the same name. Anyone know what I should select to cloak it?
MJC
Do you have tibu? I'll answer as if you just said yes. (I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but this is what I got)
I don't have this app, so I will use Backup Assistant plus as an example. In titanium backup go to the app, and click on it

Hi... I am using 4.4.2 stock ROM, rooted.
The 4G LTE symbol is always on.
None of the following attempts removes it -
1. Connecting to Wifi
2. Removing Caller Id
3. Stopping all Verizon background apps
4. Stopping mobile data
5. Switching Wanam Xposed "Persistent data type icon" under notifications either on or off
It always remains grayed out but up there when I am connected to Wifi, like the picture below.
Is it also like this for you if you are using 4.4.2? Any more ideas that I can try to remove it?

I don't think it ever goes away on stock 4.4.2, maybe not even on 4.3, I've heard others complain about it as well. I think the only way to get rid of it is to install a custom rom. I am running JellyBeans build 2, it's pretty close to stock, and it got rid of that, it's only on when mobile data is on, not when wifi is on. Hope this helps.

Yes, that helps! Thanks. Weird, I didn't find many threads on this topic - only a few where the issue was resolved apparently by removing Caller ID app. It's good to know I am not alone.
I might try the JellyBeans 2... I have never changed to non Stock ROM's before, can such a change preserve all my apps and settings?

I think if you make a safe strap backup you can always come back to it and restore if something makes you not like it.
As for keeping your apps and data, I think whatever is on your internal/external storage stays untouched, but as for the apps, JellyBeans is different enough from stock, although it looks the same, that you may have to do a data partition/cache wipe to get it to run stable. What I always do is make a note (no pun intended ) of all my downloaded apps and changes, or maybe back them up with Titanium Backup to the external storage, then just re-download from Play Store or restore with Titanium once the new rom has been installed. Just takes a few minutes of getting used to in the new rom environment. Good luck!
Removed it! With Xposed Framework, I downloaded a gem of a module called - "Samsung Data Connection Icon Fix". That did the job. Link - http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.thinkindifferent.dataconnectioniconfix
Hi,
I have recently flashed my oneplus 5 NitrogenOs, but I am facing some issues. I figured maybe any of you guys could help me.
1. When I try to add a new google account, a new screen pops up saying 'Checking info...' ('Informatie controleren...') and appears to be loading. This screen however, never closes. This way I am not able to add any google account to my phone. It appeared out of nowhere after some time of using the rom, so i currently have my google account already setup.

}
2. Google search is not working either (the app and the shortcut in nova launcher), it stops loading just before the end.
I am guessing these two problems are somehow related to google play services, but I have no idea how to fix them (obviously).
3. E-mail isnt loading anymore. The mail preview is showing the first 3-4 lines, but when i open the mail itself it shows nothing but the details (sender, time etc.). This occured after the clean flash (will get to that later on). I can also not send any e-mails. I tried this in 3 different mail-apps (with 3 mail accounts) including gmail and they all show the same results. This is not happening on hotmail.com in chrome.
Current phone details:
- Twrp multirom 3.1.1-0
- Bootloader is unlocked
- Running NitrogenOs 8.0.0 (latest build from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-nitrogen-os-cheeseburger-t3684946)
- Magisk v15.2 installed
- Flashed Gapps 'mini'
- Busybox installed (don't think this has anything to do with the problems)
- No Xposed framework installed
I am aware of the fact that the 'Checking info...' glitch has a lot of threads/posts already, but i haven't found any solution yet.
Things i already tried:
- Clean reflashing (rom, gapps and root (magisk and supersu))
- Updating google play services via apk
- Clearing cache/data from all google apps/services
- Removing updates from all google apps/services (this was not possible for google play services)
- Messing around with the host file (root/system/etc/hosts)
Both before and afther the reflash the first two problems occured after a short amount of time.
If anyone has a solution for any of the problems I would love to hear it, and if there is already a solution in another thread i would love a link too.
(ps. This is my first post so if anyone has tips, feel free to comment)
Try different gapps like nano or pico.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried wiping everything except internal storage and reflashed rom and pico Gapps. For now it seems to be working; mail shows up, all apps open and no google related bugs. Hope it stays like this, but either way thanks for your help!
I finally found out what causes the problems; it's viper4android. After installing the stock version and the materialised version over it the problems occured. Any idea how this could happen or how to undo it? Because i am kinda settled down already with my setup.
I tried uninstalling the drivers and uninstalling the materialised v4a, but the stock version cant be deleted because i flashed it via recovery.

What problems are you facing? All of them or only the checking info-bug?
On Nougat still on a H870. I'm trying to change the navbar icons and their color, but every app or tutorial seems to use overlays and need root to keep running. I'd prefer to replace the actual icons in the system and later unroot. Is there a means to do so?
Substratum + Andromeda
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/themes/substratum-lg-ui-accent-color-navbars-t3797860
Andromeda is Oreo-only and Substratum isn't working at all for me, no changes get applied.
I assume you are still on Nougat, that's why Substratum is not working for you.
Substratum Legacy is supposed to work on rooted nougat phones, no?
And oddly enough, the navbar icon changes worked.. but only until I restored a backup of my system after flashing a different ROM in between. Makes no sense at all.
Yes, it should work on AOSP roms. LG stock rom is heavy modified, so most of substratum stuff for AOSP will not work on it.
LGTweaks specifically targets the LG G6 structure, though, so it should work. But for some reason, it seems to require a system wipe before it does.

Wondering, how does a system wipe on the same OS make LGTweaks start working? Also make sure you're using the LG theme (aka no theme), but you probably know that already ?.
That's what I am wondering. I had stock rom (rooted), applied LGTweaks Navbar icons, it didn't work. I made a full backup of the rom as it was then. I dirty flashed Fulmics ROM over it, didn't like it, restored my backup, and once it booted back into my restored system, I suddenly had the changed navbar.

Sure it wasn't the action of rebooting a few times that made it work?
Yep, I had rebooted four times before that, and also tried shutting down and starting again.
On my old G2, I was able to simply replace the png files of the navbar icons in a system file. However, any tutorial I find, even for LG, mentions files I can't find on the G6 at all. Can anyone tell me where these icons are located on the G6?
I think I got it. For some reason, there were two LGTweaks navbar apk packages in system/vendor/overlays. Once I deleted both, it started working normally. On top of that, by compiling the source myself and just adding a new folder with my own PNG icons to the proper folder, I was able to put my own icons in there.

You can use an app like this one called "Pixel Navbar (No Root) now with animations" (literally the first search result for "pixel navbar" on the Play Store). However, you'll have to buy it to have it re-enable itself automatically after rebooting your phone.
If this isn't your cup of tea, then you'll just have to wait for Oreo so you can use Substratum.

Yes, and it also adds a notification which you can't clear... That's why I personally never used it ?
Just install xposed framework in magisk and install xstana module in xposed after that u can choose a stat and navbar theme in that app
Apparently doesn't pass safetynet, so it's no go for me.
