A: Thank you for any of your generosity! I will add you to the "Donation Appreciation" list in the post above this (unless you ask me not to). Please leave your XDA name when you donate in a note, or simply send me a PM, or post in the thread letting me know so I can thank you.

Q: What should I do if I come across an issue?
A: If you think you have found a bug, please do a clean full wipe, and make sure you are on the latest version of the ROM and MOD Pack by checking the MD5 Checksum
Q: Can I update system apps without needing to clean flash the ROM?
A: Yes. But it requires some trickery. With Android 5.1 and up I can no longer put out a patch so you can just dirty flash the apps in the the system, like could on previous versions. If you don't want to clean flash the ROM but still want to move the apps into system/app follow this process.
Take the update in the Playstore. Then go into data/app using something like Root Explorer, and find that new app you downloaded. For example Maps. It will be in a folder, and it will be called base.apk. Now, cut the base.apk and the lib folder (if there is one), then go into system/app or system priv/app depending where the app is, in system, and find the Maps folder, delete the old Maps.apk and lib folder and paste the new one in from data/app and rename base.apk to what the name of the app was, for this example, Maps.apk. Now for the trickery. Go back to the Playstore and uninstall Maps. Reboot the phone and you should now have the app back into System.
Q: I have a question, what should I do?
A: Please read the first (3) three posts of this threads OP as it has important information. Then try and do a search of this thread to see if the question has already been asked (usually it has), and also read some recent posts (I don't expect you to read the entire thread, but searching basically does that for you). After you have searched and read some of the latest posts, then please proceed with your question.
Q: Do you have constant apps uploading upon reboot? Do you have multiple folders in data/app?
A: Read this post, please
nice!!
Nice dude! Let me know when you get everything working, maybe we can get Greyyy Inversion over to the M9.

Hell yea bro!
Many thanks as always!
This is a very beta early release, not much going on, but it'll get there!
Hi thanks for the almighty Fluent ROM to the M9! Just flashed it and getting the vzw login error, will this be an issue or is there something we can do to prevent the popups if it is? I see a temporary fix here. Thanks again :good:

please read the OP.... posted this under bugs..
and yes you can remove that app to stop the F/C if you don't need the Verizon login stuff.
as for the F/C and using the login apps, like myverizon I haven't tested. It will only F/C on boot as per the OP. but again, feel free to remove the app.

If you root uninstall Verizon login & Verizon location, then reinstall Verizon login from playstore, it works.

Is it odd I have to turn off adb in order to see my file system on my PC?

Its the kernel. Still working bon that. If u made a stock nandroid u can restore just the boot from recovery.
Can you upload those Verizon apps u downloaded from play store plesse and thank you
Thanks Andy !
OK here is the verizon login apk, it is older, from may 2013 on play store. But it seems to work. I just installed elementalX from the the other forum, and the adb thing has went away. The rom is flawless at this point.
However, with the modpack, the only 2 mods i have tried, (APM & Battery %) are a little wonky. The APM wont reboot, or go to recovery. It hangs on HTC Screen shutdown. The battery % mod doesnt display the same value as the percentage that is enabled in the power menu, like 8-9% different.
Also, (note to others), make sure system & data are mounted in TWRP prior to flashing the modpack, or it will complain about not being able to mount data or system prior to flashing mods. I dont know if it matters in the long run, (the mods installed for me), but its one less angry message to read while doing things.

ahh forgot to mention about APM.
dont use recovery.
everything else will work.
to get to recovery, use APM and select bootloader, then get to recovery from their.
yea i need to edit the updater script in the mod pack, for now either ignore the error msg, don't flash it, or do what you said, and mount system and data.
right now it's a very early release of the mod pack, most things arent working, but it is nice to have the back to kill and apm option. eventually ill clean it up but time is very limited ATM.
many thanks for all the feedback!

I actually meant where is it located on the phone so I can pull it from my M8 to try with my M9. I have looked and can't find it using root explorer.

Great to see you over here, now. Since I'm still on a test M9, I'm usually a few versions ahead of what's out there, so I am running proprietary diagnostic stuff, but looking forward to returning to Fluent as soon as the testing is done. And every time I revert to my M8 I remember how much I enjoy your work.
Andy Fluent has been running good for me, but for some odd reason there are some system app that I cant get removed. And they are garbage ones that are not needed, for example slacker radio.
I have tried rom toolbox lite and even quite a few others and even freezing then rebooting and trying again. I did manage to get rid of a bunch of them such as all the amazon crap, but quite a few dont seem to want to be ditched.
I"am pretty conservative on what ones I get rid of also, and having run Fluent on my m8 with the m9 sense 7 port since day 1 I pretty much know for sure what you can get rid of and what you cant.
Some others I cant get rid of are google +, htc dot view, the htc mail, htc messages, street view, talkback, twitter for htc sense, and a few verizon ones I dont need because this m9 is on straight talk and not verizon post paid so I dont need verizon location agent, vz navigator, and visual voice mail. I managed to get rid of verizon login but was a pain.
And I know these can be removed as I originally used the big V and there were options in the aroma installer to uninstall them.
Just using more memory now than I was on the other rom. Looking to get the bloat ditched because I plan on being on Fluent for the long haul as I"am happy to have my daily driver back.
I kept saying to Dottat I was waiting and hoping for some Fluent Bling for my m9 lol, and I was download number 11 lol.
Thanks for serving up us m9 guys some Fluent goodness !!!!!!!!!!!

After flashing this it causes an error message that says "All in One downloader has stopped working" and I can't figure out how to get Verizon login from the playstore. I know I am making this more difficult than what it is but I just can't figure it out lol. Sorry.
***Edit actually what I meant is after deleting the Verizon login file then rebooting it still says Verizon login is installed in the Playstore.

Stock used Safestrap to flash over some gapps and just installed it that way and it all worked fine (gapps Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x) im sure i did this before but open gapps wouldent let snapchat work
if we could remove all of amazons stuff off the rom and replace it with others from a flashable zip or something it would be better as other apps like snapchat and barcode scanners would work, the problem is i have no idea how to remove stuff from the stock rom. I used system app remover and started removing stuff for fun. on cm 11 right now there are 61 system apps right now i did remove some anyway on stock it was like 270 something better if we round down to like 230, rather then port roms i think we should make fire os better i mean i love the swiping up to go back and having no status bar or that pressing the home button would open resent apps and you could close them from there, swiping down would open the notifications bar and other bits i mean its good when you think about it and the best think is the battery life but im sure thats because of the lack gapps . sorry for the spelling <3

Can't remember a single person reporting any problems with snapchat using stock Rom!? So what's the deal?
I have the Google Pixel XL rooted running Android Oreo with boot-loader unlocked. I used the modded TWRP with SU config and Chainfire's SU with SU Hide by the way to root. I know about theming and a few rooted apps like Greenify to name one. I do not want a custom ROM flashed. I guess is there and thing like Xposed or Gravity box I would be able to use. What are some neat and cool / helpful things to do while rooted on oreo with pixel xl at this point? Anyone got any ides what I should do? !hanks.

This belongs in Q&A for starters.
Right now for Oreo there is Substratum/Andromeda, and some flashable Aroma installer mods. A custom Kernel like ElementalX gives further customization performance wise as well as wake gestures, colour control, and brightness tweaks.

Just to note, Andromeda is only needed for unrooted phones. If you have root, you can substratum without issue

I can install Substratum in the Play Store on Stock Rooted Oreo and be okay?

Did it prompt you for root? Have you rebooted? What theme was it?

So far the only one that really works on the pixel XL is the Swift black , destiny doesn't work very well I haven't found any apps that work with Destiny all I use is Swift black and every so often there's one or two apps that won't work because of updates or or what not so I use Onyx too. Also what works with Swift black and helps,is if you only do 5 at a time and if still something doesn't come out right sometimes you have to reboot for it to take effect... Good luck

Lone4subs, domination, Sprite, focus, are just a few themes that work for me on Oreo. They are all paid themes though. I would recommend lone4subs but you have to enroll in the beta version for it to work with Oreo.

I also reccomend swift black for substratum. great dark theme. updated all of the time.
mods and things that I use;
- system ui tuner; change # of quick tiles, animation speed, etc
- Apex Launcher (very customizable n lite)
- AfWall (firewall to block apps from internet access)
- disable service (disable things like advertising ID, analytics, etc in google play services, some apps, etc)
- custom nagivation bar (change navbar layout n look)
- with magisk I use a few modules; GMs doze, busybox, etc)
- graby spin ui (icon set)
- signal messenger (instead of messenger)
- anysoftkeyboard
- fx file manager
- adaway for adblocking
- ex kernel manager
- exNoShades-eas kernel (which adds a bunch of features, optimizations, security/hardening, etc... i'm the dev)...
i pretty much replace or modify everything on the stock rom that i don't like, or needs improvements.
I agree with @roman.ramirez.12 ~ If you like dark themes, Swift Black is great. Constant updates, works well.
Some mods, appss and stuff that I can't do without;
- Apex Lanucher (Lite and customization).
- FX File Manager
- OS Monitor
- AFwall (Firewall for blocking apps internet access)
- Custom Navigation Bar (change navbar layout, functionality and style)
- System UI Tuner (tweak Quick settings tile #, change animation speeds to 0.75)
- AdAway (Block all advertising. Available in Fdroid app store)
- Magisk + a few modules (Pass Safetynet, Magisk hide. Modules: GMZ Doze, etc)
- EX Kernel Manager (for tuning custom kernel settings)
- exNoShadez-eas Kernel (My kernel / I'm the dev. Passes SafetyNet check. Most of the extra features other kernels have + additional
hardening/security features and some other features - too much/specific to get into here).
Using all of the above, I get a decent amount of customization to the Stock rom, plus all of the goodies one might want out of a kernel (and then some. lol)... I use most of these apps on any device (have for years, in some cases) and the kernel I develop exclusively for the Pixel / Pixel XL.
