Flashfire or TWRP? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Which one is better and/or do you trust more? Are there any significant pros & cons of one over the other? If so, what are they?
I'm asking mainly for suhide purposes, trying to do my research. I have no intention of running another ROM or anything. Just stock ROM with root is good enough for me at the moment. I'm not familiar with the suhide requirements though, so I'm doing my research and trying to find out what I need to know in order to get it up and running. Thanks!

One doesn't work at all on Pixel\XL (yet).
The other is the only way that works.
Read up in the development subforum.
tl;dr
TWRP.

Thanks. I don't consider myself a dev, so I rarely go into any Development forums.

Oh okay. Just wondered, because...
Most people checking development forum are people wanting to root and be "users". Rules say only developers should start threads, but they are posting ROMs and Kernels for all device users to enjoy! TWRP installer and instructions are posted in the DEV forum.
Check it out!

EvoNonsense4.3.1 Question

I guess my noobness on this forum prevents me from asking my question in the development thread, so I have no choice but to ask this here. I just installed the EvoNonsense4.3.1 ROM last night and I'm loving it! Very Cyanogen like but with some sense things still in there. Great combo, IMHO. Just curious as to why the Build Number for this ROM shows up as EvoNonsens4.2? I verified that I did DL the 4.3.1 zip file, so no sure why the proper version is not reflected in the Software Information section. Anywho, loving this ROM so far. Very fast and everything is working great!

You can be a veteran and still should not post questions in the development section.
What you should have done is post your question in the evo non sense thread or pm the developer.....
Now your question is simple. The developer forgot to rename his Rom to the new update. It still is the newest but with the old name/number.

Thanks for the info. Why is it that I shouldn't make a post in the development thread for the ROM? I figured this would be something that the ROM developer would be interested in knowing so that he/she could fix it. Guess I don't know all the rules for XDA yet .

You can post question of a Rom in its thread. You don't make a new thread to ask a question about a Rom. It will clutter the dev section.
Now if you have a non specific Rom question that question can go in this section=q&a

Cool. Guess I need to make a few more posts before it will let me comment in a development thread though. By the way, your ROM is awesome!! Gonna stick with this one for a while. Trying to promote it as much as possible on the AC forums.

Is there a reason you keep asking questions in the dev thread? Please use the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Because normally this is due to a custom ROM or flashing a kernel not a fluke that happens to everybody and IMPO dev people got more experience and might have more ideas of what might be the solution.
Man this ROM bricked my phone.. Guess I need to go to the question part of XDA and find out my answeres that I have.... " see what I did there "

This whole web site is about custom ROMs, flashing kernels, etc. Maybe the site should just be one huge dev thread...?

Coolest Rom?

I tried to install latest illusion and liquid JB 2.4 but dont like them, internet doesnt work on liquid jb and there is also no market app on either one, not sure if its the ROMS or my installation.
Now can any one plese help me to find the rom that has best features (good bettery life could be a bonus).
thanks in advance.
Your install process is way off. There are support threads and q&a's and instructions in the OP of the thread... No such thing as a "coolest rom" try them for your self with proper install procedures before saying they're ugly or don't work.

Coolest ROM?
That made me laugh.
You need to go through and pick which ROM or ROMs fit your needs. No one can pick a ROM for you, another members ideal ROM may not be your ideal ROM.
As for the installation process and having certain apps not being there or not working properly, you need to read the first post of the thread, also know as the OP. Reading it will let you know what to download and how to install/flash it through recovery.
Here's some advice that will save you in the future:
-read the first post/op of each thread
-have questions or problems with the ROM? Read the first and last 10 pages of the thread, if the problem isn't addressed or your question isn't answered, then politely ask for help.
-Google is your "friend", usually typing your issue followed by xda in the search bar and you'll find what your looking for

Ok thanks for your help guys. i'm not sure what i did wrong. here are the steps that did and one of you might be able to help me.
Downloaded odin and rooted and installed cwm through GalaxyS3RootUSCanada.zip (http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/)
Downloaded the Rom and installed it --> cleared cache etc.
Now is there a problem with installing CWM throuth this file?
Why didn't you just use the toolkit stickied in development? I know nothing about the software you linked to.

Maybe you should read the op before installing something.
Clearly says you have to flash gapps after flashing liquidsmooth. This is why you don't have the playstore.

Agree here. Never understood why folks would go to that site, then come here to find support for it.
Either root66 or cf-autoroot is the best and easiest imo.

Beats me but I won't give support for things sourced outside of XDA. Not just because XDA always has the best but because I know nothing about external offerings.

Khanbaba59, there is no "cool rom" so to speak. You have to read up on which is best for you, then try them. Be sure to READ the OP on installation process to avoid anything going wrong.
As your questions have been answered, I will close this now as it will cause confusion and bickering about roms.

Are the ROMS & Recoveries safe for the 2E/Z00D model?

I'm having big issues with my stock 5.0.1 Lollipop with my notifications coming through only when I unlock my device, and I read that 5.1 fixed the wifi idle and sleep issues. I'm wondering if these ROMs and Recoveries are safe for me to go ahead and flash on my ZenFone 2E (Z00D) model to see if will solve the issue

No one has tried them on that model, so I would not say they are safe. Also wrong section. Please post questions like this in the Q&A section.
I was pretty sure this was the appropriate section as it's relevant to the roms and questions about them. I didn't need General help, so this is where I found it best suited. Thanks for the reply anyways.

Just an XDA tip, you would only post a new thread in the Android Development Section or the Original Development Section if you made something such as a ROM, mod, kernel, etc.

No. They are completely different phones. The general Intel x86 Android root method works on the 2E though.

I got root thanks to that method, I wish there were some roms though. I don't like the wifi and notification bug in 5.0.1

OP 7T TWRP coming?

I just had a question for you guys..
Is there going to be a TWRP for OP 7T or not? I want to root my OP 7T so much yet I don't know how to do it or what version to use.. yes I'm a noob at this.. All I know is that with TWRP it's gonna be a lot more easier..
So.. does anyone know if there's gonna be a TWRP for the OP 7T?
Thanks!!
They are giving full focus for Android 100 soon, so yeah probably. When? Not sure.
Sent from my OnePlus7TPro using XDA Labs
From what I have read there working on it but android 10 in 7t is so different it will take time to make one that works, it does not work the same as android 9 does. The root methods out there do work, my 7t came with a version of Q I could not find any patched boot images for but was still able to root it using one of the methods listed in the forums. Its not at all like using TWRP. I first went to fastbootd then booted to a modded TWRP that was useful only to use as a way to access the factory boot image and run ADB commands and pull it from the device to my PC then back to my internal storage .. Reboot from there (which will seem like your going to brick your device since the TWRP will say there is no OS installed, but there is,, it boots fine) onxce back up I used magisk manager to patch that extracted boot image and then reboot back to fastbootd push it back onto the device then reboot and its rooted. Without TWRP to flash (as the modded only give ADB access) you use magisk to flash mods and if you want a custom kernel you use a kernel manager that can backup and flash the new kernel. I was able to put bluespark kernel as well and xXx mod, james DSP works fine also. Waiting for TWRP to mess with Viper4android.

No problem, and I think it wouldn't be off-topic as the OP also contains this statement:

The thread for rooting your OP7T is here:
