Cyanogen OS 13.0

Cyanogen OS 13.0 is rolling out now for the OnePlus One
Cyanogen OS 13.0 has started rolling out, beginning with the OnePlus One and will be followed by other devices. Here’s a look at what’s in this update.
Tastes like Marshmallow
Cyanogen OS 13.0 is built on top of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Marshmallow offers a number of useful features that Cyanogen leverages, including:
Doze
Doze increases your battery life by putting your device into hibernation mode when the device is not in use. When in Doze mode, your device will limit CPU and network intensive tasks to conserve battery life. You can now forget to charge your phone and still have juice left for the next day!
Permissions control + Privacy Guard
Marshmallow brings new privacy features to the operating system, enabling the user to allow or disallow a particular app from accessing certain device information, such as your contacts or camera. Permission control is complementary to our ever-popular Privacy Guard, which gives users more fine-grained control of what they share and with whom.
App Standby
App Standby determines which apps have not been used recently on your device and then puts them into sleep mode so that these apps no longer consume precious battery.
Quick Settings tiles
An existing popular feature of Cyanogen OS is Quick Settings tiles management, which has been added to Marshmallow in this update. This allows you to customize layout and options directly via the Quick Settings panel, using configuration items such as ‘enlarge first row’ and ‘show weather’ which are now present on Quick Settings panel while in edit mode, and live reordering of tiles.
Truecaller mod for Messaging
Cyanogen OS is already integrated with Truecaller for an enhanced dialer experience — you are able to screen calls via caller ID and block unwanted spam directly from the native Dialer. This global partnership now extends the Truecaller mod into the Messaging app. The Truecaller mod is available only on Cyanogen OS. With Truecaller for Messaging, you can:
Know who is texting with the power of the Truecaller network containing over 2 billion phone numbers.
Identify spam and block them directly from within the Messaging app.
Protect others by reporting spam to the Truecaller community.
Truecaller is integrated directly into the Messaging and Dialer apps. To enable the Truecaller mod, users can accept the Truecaller permissions from Dialer or access the Truecaller settings in Dialer. There is no need to install a separate app and you can turn Truecaller off at any time.
The Truecaller mod for Messaging is available on any device running Cyanogen OS 13.0 and up. The MOD platform is discussed in our previous blog post.
There are plenty of other new and improved features in this OS update on top of the hundreds of features you have come to expect from Cyanogen OS. Among these, you will also notice an emphasis on performance improvements that make the experience even smoother than before. We are looking forward to bringing Cyanogen OS 13.0 to users around the world beginning with the OnePlus One.

Does "Pokemon Go" app works with this version?

good update but remix os is still far superior.

@slybunda At what? I can also say my bike is superior without listing it's pros.

more stable and better 3d support

It all comes down to specific hardware @slybunda . On my devices Phoenix is more stable and has more features at the same time plus a better design. I personally don't care about 3D acceleration - android-x86 would be enough for games because those are usually ran in fullscreen, so no desktop UI needed.

I love your rom so much @Regnas I updated a port that already existed for the vzw gs4 just so I could keep using it for my own personal use. It's the best rom ever, 10,000xlove. Sorry that's a little off topic because it's not really the same rom. This is just the first post I've seen from you and had to shoutout some love

@tdct12 do have in mind that this is an official release by Chaozuo @Regnas does deserve the love for publishing it though

Has anyone had any luck booting this from USB? I have tried from USB and SD, but have had no luck. I was able to dual boot from my SSD drive, but it seemed to make my Win 10 OS lag a lot. I ran the installer and selected install to U, and let it install. I do have bios setup to boot from USB first and even tried it through the boot menu. It almost seems like the drive is not bootable though. Any ideas or thoughts?

Verification failed error 15. Any work around?

Flyme OS 6, will we get it? [Request]

Hello. I have recently caught my eye on something called Flyme OS, which... I won't lie, is the best firmware I have seen in my opinion.
Video.
So, the question is, will someone port Flyme OS 6 to our devices?
The phones you'd have to port from are all MEIZU devices.
MEIZU M3S seems very promising for porting.

Detailed information about features:
One Mind, Intelligent Thinking Engine.
One Mind, the independently researched-and-developed intelligent thinking engine, can automatically pick up user habits according to user scenarios and provide efficient solutions.
Without additional settings, One Mind automatically builds up a smarter mobile system for users.
Game Mode
One Mind will automatically identify when a game is running and go into Game Mode to ensure a smoother gaming experience.
Acceleration and intelligent memory resource allocation allows the game to run more smoothly.
The immersive mode shields unimportant heads-up notifications, helps answer phone calls more conveniently and prohibits gesture operations, allowing you to focus on the game without disturbances.
Network Protection senses online gaming and takes measures to prevent disconnection.
Auto-repair at Night
One Mind will detect your work and rest status.
When you are asleep, the system will automatically go to sleep and start self-repair — defragmenting memory, cleaning up system cache, optimizing background applications, reducing standby power consumption, and freeing up more system resources.
A more intelligent system is coming closer to your life.
Process Reaper
Process Reaper can identify application types and behaviors based on user habits.
By mandatorily reaping processes that take up large memory resources or behave abnormally, and retaining necessary processes, Process
Reaper prevents applications from mistakenly closing while reducing resource assumption.
The intelligent process reaping ensures you a smooth experience.
Flash Launch
One Mind picks up your habits quickly to identify regular applications in different periods, and opens up special channels to keep these applications running.
The engine quickly responds whenever you start it.
Powerful Functions
This release of Flyme 6 brings hundreds of new features. From simply meeting to discovering user needs, Flyme is dedicated to improving user experience.
This is a giant leap forward in refining the operating experience of traditional smart phones.
We give you a system with powerful functions, but simple operation allows unprecedented simplicity to busy lives.
Parallel Space
Parallel Space is probably the best privacy management mode ever.
It provides different modes for different scenarios and enables scenario switching.
Users can switch between private and normal modes by using different passwords or fingerprints when unlocking their phones.
Easy switching means easy management.
Kid Space
The innovative Kid Space allows parents to build up an independent mobile phone space for their children.
Anti-addiction and low battery lock shows Flyme’s consideration for children.
The kid Space allows kids to have fun without parents worrying too much.
A Time Machine for Contacts
Restore original data without any loss.
Restore your contacts visually and precisely to a specific date.
Recycle Bin
Everything remains in its original unaltered form.
You can quickly retrieve mistakenly deleted messages and notes on your phone.
Notification Management
The Aesthetic Truth of Management: Do More with Less.
Intelligent Notification Storage;
The degree of importance for application notifications is automatically identified. Notifications of lesser importance are kept in the storage box at the top right corner of the notification bar, leaving you a quiet, uncluttered phone.
Notification Management Shortcut;
Long press notification content, and the management shortcut window, along with setup options will popup for immediate access.
Brand-new Multi-task Management
Horizontal display: A more complete view of running apps
One touch off: Clear all apps with one thumb
Pull down app card: More options such as lock, blur and multi-window
Pull up app card: Quickly end the task
Memory usage: Displayed below each app card, allowing you to manage apps according to the occupied memory.
Powerful 1-from-N Algorithm
We spare no effort to attain the best performance.
The more than 90% recognition accuracy largely reduces the impact of camera shake.
When you press the button, the system automatically takes multiple photos and selects the clearest one based on the algorithm.
Behind every perfect photo lies a powerful function.
Facial Beautification and Makeup
Nice Photos and Assured Beauty.
In cooperation with the well-known facial beautification solution provider Arcsoft, we put forward a new intelligent algorithm with natural effects to enhance your charms.
Advanced Beautification, Real-time Makeup mode, and details adjustments such as whitening, face Slimming or makeup , allow you to perfect your photos any way you desire.
Zero-delay Camera
Great photos with just a tap on the shutter button. Not even one wonderful moment will be missed.
The zero-delay camera allows you to capture excellent pictures with quicker startup, shooting, focusing and imaging.
It has never been so easy to be a good photographer.
Security Innovation
The multi-dimensional safeguard protects your phone from any attack.
Security strategies for browsing, payments, communications, etc., are constantly upgraded based on user scenarios.
The security database is updated in real time to ensure the security of your phone.
Web Page Security Assurance
The up-to-date secure URL database of the browser can automatically identify and label secure websites and give warnings on potential security risks to keep your internet experience safe.
Payment Security
Apps at high security level are set up in the cloud, so that the system can automatically identify when they are running and enable security protection promptly.
Flyme fully protects payments with strategies such as restricting other apps’ access, preventing overlays on the payment screen, prohibiting any third party from reading SMS verification codes, and using the system keyboard only.
Prevention System Against Rogue Base Stations
The chip-based rogue base station identification technology cuts any possible connection between your phone and rogue base stations.
Our ever-evolving big data system for rogue base stations keeps strengthening the security of your phone.
In addition, we will share our self-developed technology with other phone manufacturers and relevant departments.
Joining together, we can eliminate harassment and fraud caused by rogue base stations to benefit all mobile phone users.

EMUI 8.0 for PIC-AL00 - PIC-AL00C00B311
EMUI 8.0 not only brings you the latest version of Android (8.0), it's also boosted with a lot of great features and improvements to make your device more intuitive, faster and safer. We highly recommend updating now.

● Your device can now connect to two different Bluetooth devices simultaneously, such as a band and a car.
1. Automatic time zone uses location information to set a time zone when Location information is enabled.
2. Due to the redesign of Settings, the location of certification logos, legal information, and regulatory information (if applicable) has been altered.
3. To improve your experience, Smart notifications will be updated when you are connected to Wi-Fi. You can disable auto-updates in Settings.
1. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.
2. Some third-party apps that are not compatible with Android 8.0 may function incorrectly after the update. It is recommended that you update these apps to their latest versions in HiApp.
3. This system version can be rolled back to the official version of EMUI 5.1 using HiSuite. Rolling back the system version will erase your personal data. Please back up your data in advance. For more information, please contact the customer service hotline.
4. If you encounter any issues, you can go to HiCare, Huawei Club, or call the official helpline at 400-830-8300 or 800-830-8300 (landline).
5. Your home screen layout may be rearranged slightly.

Since is very difficult to obtain information about this model, I really don't know if it's just a feeling that you've got about the camera or it's really poorer...it's what happened to Honor 6x after updating to Nougat...
Why are you feeling that the camera is poorer....?

It seems like, that the Pictures at bad light conditions, are more poor then before the Update.
At good weatherconditions, the Pictures are really good (like before)
Macro Picutes are also good.

Just to help out a bit, if possible:
Camera seems to be fine on my P2XL - though I have not enabled any HDR+ or raw settings.
Now Playing is working for me, grabbed the theme song off the show I was watching last night.
Markup "edit" button can be fixed. Clear data in markup, open photos and use markup from within that; you should get a permission request. (simply going into permissions on the markup app and enabling any/all may work as well, but is untested)
In dialer/recents, tap the number, and choose block from the drop down menu. I am in the beta for the Google phone app - so that may be part of it. Dirty flash may also affect this.
Clarification only: Photos is broken in dark-mode, but only in that all options dialogs/drop-downs are white text on white background. Other than that, you can still browse photos/albums, etc.
For clarity: My device is the Pixel 2 XL and Q was installed via factory image with full wipe (no dirty flash), and I did not restore from any backups.

Camera is fine for me on 2xl. Nothing different. HDR+ works as normal so does raw DNG.

Now playing is working for me - just not displaying on the lock screen. I just got home form a birthday party, and every song the DJ played is in my NP history;
In addition to the charging time estimate, the estimate in the pull down notification area is completely off base compared to the estimated time left in Settings --> Battery;
My built in screen recording works for me, and has worked since I enabled it from the Features flags in Developer Options;
No issues with Google Photos with dark Mode. Caveat: I had dark mode enabled in Pie, and took the Q DP1 OTA over that Pie install;
I found that there is a microphone icon at the top left when selecting Panorama photo mode that I never saw before (was that introduced with Q DP1, or just a very recent Google Camera update?)
I've not noticed a discernible slowdown in the Camera app (and I always use HDR+ / Night sight for my photos), but I have noticed that when I try to view a picture / video, particularly like an MMS in Messages / Google Voice, the phone is extremely slow and laggy.

@eBENdre just got xl 2 ,prerooted,one question,if i install Q 1 will it owerwrite twrp magisk also,will there be problems maybe? Thanks
For years used htc,this is new for me.

Yes, it will overwrite twrp and magisk.
There are always potential problems with any update to beta builds, however, many are running Q without issues. Best advice I can give is to familiarize yourself with fastboot commands, since you'll need to install twrp again, and read, read, and read again all of the information in the Q threads so you know what to do and expect :good:

Yes, it will overwrite twrp and magisk.
There are always potential problems with any update to beta builds, however, many are running Q without issues.

Huge thanks mate,and there is problem for me,as keybord not working on laptop...

You'll probably need access to a different computer - or else need to buy a cheap USB KB to use, because use of a separate computer / laptop is pretty much essential to get this working (root + Q, not to mention installing TWRP by using fastboot boot to boot TWRP, then installing TWRP from inside the booted TWRP).

You should get the next update fine, provided your on stock recovery without root. I don't run betas personally, but my info comes from reading about others that do. As with anything android...YMMV :good::laugh:

Android Q Beta Experience
I've been on Android Q beta for almost 3 weeks now. It is used as a daily driver since I have only the one Pixel 2. I flashed the new image myself using TWRP rather than opt into the beta with Google. Other than a problem with now playing not always showing up on the screen and a slight delay when I go to the Favorites page in Phone app everything seems to work alright. I am getting roughly the same battery life as with Android Pie. Oh, and my banking app (ICICI Bank, India) is not working. It doesn't send an SMS to activate the app. I thought this might be as the phone number is shown as unknown. I understand that Vodafone in India does not show the phone number in the SIM information in Settings. I have activated dark mode and even photos and camera app work without a hitch. I have rooted with Magisk (Canary channel) and that is working without any problem.

OTOH, I've also been on Q since the day it came out (my birthday, coincidentally - love being an Ides of March baby lol).
I've had some issues crop up here and there, but nothing really serious. I was on Pie, rooted, and used the uninstall routine inside of Magisk to de-root my Taimen before taking Q, and then rooted it again with the (then latest) canary build.
What I'm hoping is that the Magisk procedure to de-root the device, take the OTA, and then before rebooting, applying the patched boot.img to the new partition will work, the same as if you're rooted on Pie and get an OTA.
Time will tell.

My notifications is coming like this only.. is this a bug?
or the clock is missing?
My device is not rooted. I'm not using any module or theme.

Clock missing - have you rebooted?

Yes I have. Atleast 2-3 times.

Wonder if it is System UI Tuner related?
You could give this a shot and see if the System UI is set to hide the clock, though the last time I actually tried to hide the clock, it didn't leave that space there....
