Develop Bugs

Worth it to update to Nougat now?

I have an update pending for 3 weeks now, but I did read that there were some problems.
With the Playstore, ringer volume, battery, wireless, photo quality and focus..
Not sure if those are exceptions (since people with problems are much louder), or a rule..
Is there a OP3 Nougat review somewhere, that lists potential bugs?

Is a good update!

I make it a point to clean flash after backing up. I am using only OOS from the beginning. And as far as possible I download from the original source. It may delay the availability but every single download and installation is successful. The only time I faced an issue was when I downloaded OOS recovery image from a posted link and not from OP website. I am not saying that all posted links are bad but most of the issues arise from bad downloads, not following the directions scrupulously and updating (as against a clean install).
I am yet to face any serious issues.

Thanks!
I suppose I might cave in just go with the flow. I AM looking forward to some Nougat OOS4 features.

I hestitated to move from 3.2.8 to N, mainly because of lack of xposed and custom kernel support but also due to some bug reports. 10 days ago I finally did it and don't regret it at all! Made a full backup of my userdata to PC (TWRP and Titanium) and then a clean flash of OOS 4.0.2. Rooted and now I also run the latest eng.stk kernel. Totally satisfied, although I still miss xposed...

You want xposed now = dont update
You can wait for exposed = update
In my eyes there is no other reason than xposed not to update

I couldn't live without xposed and I kept on coming back to 3.2.8 ...

Thanks
I don't root, I don't flash, I don't change kernels, I don't use xposed..
But i could backup, if root is not required for that?

For the people that dont want to upgrade to nougat because of xposed: i was one of them but mainly because of gravitybox (center clock and dt2s in status bar) and youtube adaway.... Check this:

it is because of gravitybox but the features i want most are: hardware button remapping, net speed meter in statusbar and percentage battery icon (i know 3minit, but dont really like it).
and ofc also youtube adaway and youtube background playback.

Still rocking op3lite (oos 3.2.7)

unlock bootloader and install TWRP, make a backup and then download Experience ROM and flash, so if u do not like nougat u can just go back to MM easily

The 4.0.2 update is great, I see the battery lasts more time (best I did was 48 hours active with 4 hours of screen time and 4 of call time, localization always active to high precision), the phone is super fast, so what else do you want?

I'm very happy with 4.0.2 as a light user. The battery is certainly better and I typically get around 3 hours SOT with 3 days of standby. :victory:
There are a few minor bugs but on the whole, its a great update.
Hats off to OnePlus. :highfive:

Big 'NO' if you travel a lot and come across situations like you roam between various networks. Because playstore doesn't download a thing on mobile data while roaming. It is not a OnePlus 3 specific issue tho.
Edit: Playstore bug seems to be fixed now. I must say it is safe to upgrade to 7.1.1. Running stable and smooth now.

Always On Display on Oxygen OS Open Beta 4 OREO 8.1

Oneplus yesterday launch their oxygen os open beta 4 for the oneplus 5t. I tried this all steps to enable with Substratum and Always on enabler on my rooted oneplus 5t but its not working.
And btw it works on all the other 8.1 roms. But i like the ambient display of Oxygen os. So i want it always on.
Please Help

They don't use the AOSP Always on Display... they made their own version of it

Can someone port this for install on Oreo stable or do we need to wait?

well, there is no need for port. u can download apps in playstore for always on display. try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson&hl=en

@xXx is this somehow possible? If oos picked up and, then it would be almost perfect!
Should mention xXx doesn't support 5t, but I'm sure it y'all port aod over or basic 5 gets it, then the otherside will too.

They don't work like they should. I hit the power button to wake the phone and it just turns off the aod and then back on. That's one, then they don't handle notifications well. I prefer aosp style because it works normally. If someone can port a way, then we will be set

Overlay APK for Treble GSI users

For those very few who unlocked the bootloader of their 7.1 (e.g. through HikariCalyx), and want to enjoy Treble GSIs, this should help sweeten the experience a bit more.
This overlay was taken almost directly from PHH's overlay for Nokia 6.1 Plus, a very similar device, but the notch/cutout outline was replaced with one extracted from stock 7.1 ROM. As a result, it fixes notch (GSIs don't have notch provision by default), enables Always-on Display, fixes lowest screen brightness (?) and maybe does other things, I can't be 100% sure, but fixing the notch alone was good enough for me.
Just shove the attached APK into /vendor/overlay, set permissions 0644, reboot and voila.

And yeah, since this forum seems kinda desolate, I'll also attach a screenshot of the device running LOS16 GSI (self-built, not shared) below. It's actually quite usable, as far as I can tell the only device-related bug is that you'd need to eject/reinsert SIM on every reboot for the SIM to be recognized. Many LineageOS additions (e.g. Styles, LiveDisplay, Profiles) are broken (reason why I won't share the GSI at the moment), and Substratum currently errors out, but if you use AEX, PE, etc. and don't care about Substratum, then GSIs are in a good status.

That's nice @AndyYan,
please keep sharing progress, I'm interested to know when LineageOS for the 7.1 can be considered stable. (Not that I am really disappointed by the original ROM, it checks all boxes for me tbh)

I've already resolved aforementioned problem with the LOS-specific features and will post a thread in the Treble development subforum about it shortly.
To me, all that's left is Substratum. I can easily live with the rest.

I bought mine pre-unlocked, but you should contact Hikari Calyx about it.

Here's an updated version of the overlay that defines proper top/bottom rounded corners and landscape mode statusbar height - this would make the top corners show as rounded (instead of straight cut-off) when you choose "hide notch" in Developer options and simply looks natural.

(REQUEST)One Ui Port

Can anyone Please Port One UI or Any Samsung Experience rom For Oneplus 5T (Dumpling)

I don't think it'll be so easy but if a developer thinks it's worth it, maybe we can see a port of it in the future.
I've seen a port of One UI for Treble enabled devices such as OnePlus 6 and some Xiaomi phones, maybe that can be useful.

And they are discontinued. Rom itself has problems not saying knox, system size is bigger and creates problem in twrp, list goes on... As i had 2 diffrent phones on oneui, i can say oxygenos is nova launcher and oneui is go ex launcher. I like aosp more but miui is an exception to me...

I booted the one ui rom on oneplus 5t
But its very unstable right now

Yeah, every OneUI GSI so far doesn't have RIL working (the dev says in Telegram that Samsung repeatedly patches his workarounds).

Question question regarding banking apps in Egypt and Rom stability

Hello,
i have ordered an F3 phone and it's currently been shipped to my location, i don't plan on using the default MUI stock rom as i don't like the idea of bloatware

that's great thanks a lot for the information.

Your choice is between a debloated variant of MIUI (like Xiaomi.eu ROM) or AOSP (original Android UI Design).
I personally prefer AOSP because its clean and smooth, however I'm on Xiaomi.eu because MIUI Dolby Atmos and MIUI Camera App are only on MIUI.
In terms of Banking Support. You just have to make sure you are passing Google SafetyNet.
That's the most likely reason why a Banking app might not work for you, in the case your OS is failing SafetyNet-Check.

Firstly, thanks a lot for your reply and the information you provided.
Secondly, aren't there any alternatives in the AOSP Rom for these 2 apps especially the Dolby one since I'm more interested in the quality of sound rather than the camera?

As a good camera alternative there are Google Camera Ports ("Gcam") which support many devices. There are many devs/porters of Gcam with varying feature-set and bugginess. They can be ok/good, but don't have all features that the MIUI Camera has, but it comes close. Can also crash sometimes. Some people like Gcam over MIUI Cam, but for me it's a definite opposite. MIUI Cam photos clearly show more details for me.
Best website for Gcam Ports:
Google Camera Ports Download
Modified Google Camera ports by BSG, Arnova8G2, ivanich, and others. Download hub for GCam ports.

As for Dolby Atmos. There are Dolby Atmos Magisk Modules but they sound like utter rubbish, unfortunately. Those are ports of Razer's DA and Motorola's DA, however they simply make audio sound virtualised (like inside a tin can), instead of expanded and richer.
So they are nothing compared to MIUI Dolby Atmos.
You can find Equalizer apps on the Play Store as an alternative, but well, those are not Dolby Atmos. ^^
If sound's (and cam) is important to you, get Xiaomi.eu ROM. Also set Dolby Atmos to Video Mode. ^^
That's my take
Edit:
However, should also note that Xiaomi.eu isn't simple. It has many Xiaomi system apps. It does not have ads or third party apps pre-installed, but I should mention. ^^ Since you were looking at something minimalistic. And MIUI isn't that.

A great amount of information I have to say, well it's not like I'm totally minimalistic person but I hate bloatware, ads, and the feeling that my data is been used by the company that I bought my phone from, however, this answer helped me on getting a better picture on what are the pros and cons of using the original Rom debloated vs AOSP Rom still thinking which way to go tho since the phone will arrive in 4 days till then I will keep looking for more information.
in the end thanks a lot for the time and information and time you provided me.
