Has anyone tried DirtyUnicorns?

Seems that there are DU builds for the HTC 10 (pme). Here: https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/pme/
Has anyone tried them? If yes, what are your impressions? :laugh:

It is AOSP based compared to LOS (CM) which the majority of the ROMs posted are.
DU is a great ROM. I found that it lacked some important features that I like, but a very solid ROM.

Yes i tried on Sprint but there was no data...even after entering the apn in

Encryption was not working, even with a full data format prior to flashing.
Any other opinions?

I have been running the weekly and official builds with nebula eas kernel for about 5 weeks or so. I personally feel its the best non-sense based ROM for my usage. It does lack some customisations most others have but makes up for it by being super stable, fast, battery friendly and just works as its supposed to with bull. I use superSU, substratum and A.R.I.S.E audio mod with selinux permissive without dramas.

Does it come with root or Magisk out of the box?
To reverse the question, can I use it as clean Android without root, passing SafetyNet? Thanks!

It comes WITHOUT root. So you can choose your preffered method or no root at all.
I don't know about safetynet as I am not using android pay or anything that relies on it to pass.
Also I have not had any encryption issues as someone earlier replied

401.4 FW and 3.1.0 TWRP. What kind of encryption issue? I did have once only rebooted into recovery and it asked for the password but I just rebooted in recovery from TWRP and it never happened again.

I've tried several combinations, with older/latest firmware.
Every time, It would ask for the encryption password on bootup.
Even if I haven't set one up.. With data format prior to installing
Anyway, got sick of re-setting apps on my phone, just installed Maximus HD ROM, and that's that ?

The 4-8-17 build is Android 7.1.2 and so far it is running really well. I am surprised that there​ is not a thread in the ROM section for DU.

I think it was the DU team's decision to close all and not allow any XDA threads. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
No idea why though.

What variant , firmware and TWRP are you using?
Everytime I try that rom..it encrypts itself with an unknown password, and upon restart I'm unable to access my phone

I have had that happen when switching from a sense based ROM to LOS or AOSP and it's a "pita"... Anything that I want to keep gets moved to my SD card before I reboot to recovery.
I read through several threads and tried several possible solutions so I can't remember exactly which one worked.
I am currently on Verizon, official Nougat with the flashed us unlocked "patch", TWRP 3.1.0-1. If you are on Verizon or Sprint you need to patch the image with a missing image that is found in the us unlocked model (there are threads discussing it where you can find the file).

It was not related to the data partition.

There is a DU Oreo-based build for the HTC 10: https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/?device=pme
For the time being it is under "RC". Downloading now, will report back!
Edit: ROM is very nice and is flying by. Only downside is that camera app is VERY slow... Also, woofer is not working (as expected).
What I like the most is that it is AOSP, i.e. no LineageOS stuff like AudioFX, etc. Customisation features are nice and the experience is close to Pixel with Stock OpenGapps. If the camera app is fixed, then this would be perfect (I believe it will, since this is the first RC release)!
Further notes: Capacitive buttons backlight is off by default (can't find any standard option to turn on, maybe with a kernel tool?) and notification LED does not work either. Don't mind for the capacitive buttons too much, but the LED is a real problem.

Help with Root and safety net

Hi guys,
Hoping my noob self can get some guidance here.
Basically i followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-stock-7-1-2-root-safetynet-ok-t3617347
But after doing so it seems that Magisk isnt working.
Is there anything i can do; installing a CROM, any work arrounds?
I've tried this as well but no avail: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/safetynet-fix-pass-safetynet-2017-07-17-t3637801

The Pixel doesn't use the official version of Magisk so any instructions for how to get the official version working might not apply on the Pixel. For a while if you enabled core only mode in the unofficial version the Pixel would still pass Safety Net even though the official version had stopped working. I have no idea if this workaround still works or not since I went back to stock but if you haven't tried it yet its certainly worth a try. Since the official link for the unofficial Pixel version of Magisk is hosted in the Resurrection Remix rom thread and discussion of Magisk issues frequently goes on there as well you might want to check the later posts in the rom thread and see if there is updated info regarding unofficial Magisk.

Resurrection Remix is a custom rom but there is no need to install it to use Unofficial Magisk. That's just where the official download link is hosted, probably because the dev has some link to that particular rom. But Unofficial Magisk is not included or integrated in any way into that rom--Magisk is downloaded and flashed separately from the rom and should work the same on that rom, a different custom rom or stock.
---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------
As a side note there's nothing wrong with Resurrection Remix but if you did want to give a custom Rom a try I would personally recommend Dirty Unicorns or Screwed. They aren't hosted on XDA but don't let that bother you. A quick Google search will turn up where they are officially hosted and in my personal experience they are easily the best custom Roms available for the Pixel. That said, I went back to stock so I could try Android O and have stayed on stock so far.

That's true but it's probably temporary. The devs have been notified of that bug and they are usually pretty responsive. I could actually see Google changing their code to deny the unlimited original photo backup to Pixels that are altered--i.e. unlocked bootloader, root, custom recovery or custom rom since Google has made it pretty clear they don't want people doing these things on the Pixel, but I haven't read anything that indicates Google has done this. But don't be surprised if they do it in the future.

I feel like the roms where it is working is just a matter of something NOT being changed in them and needing to find the delta but I agree I wouldn't be surprised if they look the stance of purposefully not allowing modded devices.

I'm not a programmer and can't say for sure but you might be right. I think the devs at Screwed (if I remember correctly) are the ones who say they create as lean of a rom as possible by removing useless code. They might have removed something they shouldn't have. It's still an excellent rom but that is a serious bug for people who rely on the photo at full quality backup feature and take a lot of pics.

[Question] [GSI] [Razer Phone 1] What is currently the top rated GSI?

Hi!
I'm looking for the most stable GSI for the razer phone. These forums have been pretty dead honestly, so i'm not sure where to go.
Looking for the most up to date, feature complete, not broken GSI - My Pre-requisites are:
- Must support Magisk (i use the aptx-enabling modules that SHOULD have been in stock)
- Not bothered on android version, 8 or 9 will do
- WiFi & Tethering must work, i have an unlimited (without throttling) data plan, but you need WiFi for tethering
- Bluetooth audio must work, not bothered about calls, but music streaming over BT must work
- Generally stable - Stock rom is great, just missing a few features i like
What would your recommendations be?

If you want Magisk, go for one of the 8.1 GSI's, Pixel Experience would get my vote, nice ROM :good:
Peacce

I'll help in liven things up in this forum. Thinking of flashing (is this still the right term for GSI?) Lineage first when I get around to it over Christmas. I'm coming from a Oneplus one with the last few years on cyanogen / lineage, so I'm biased.

I'm using Lineage w/o gapps. I love it. I just wish I could figure out how to get signature spoofing to work so I could still play PokemonGO

Does Lineage (or other GSIs) enable miracast? Stock seems to only allow mirroring to Chromecast devices, which I don't have.

ROM ❯ PIXEL 2 XL ❯ OFFICIAL ❯ ProtonAOSP 11

ProtonAOSP
Android 11 ROM​
ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.
Screenshots
Screenshots of the latest version
Installation
This ROM is currently distributed as factory images, similar to stock. Flash it the same way you would flash stock factory images. Don't forget to wipe all data using "fastboot -w" before booting the ROM.
Firmware is included, so there is no specific requirement for which version of the stock ROM you are coming from.
You can also use the quick & easy web installer, which allows you to install and update the ROM from any computer or phone without using the command line. The installer works entirely within your web browser and completes in as little as 4 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Consider using the web installer instead of installing manually.

Looks so tempting, downloading as I type.
Quick check - for the updates in future, would we still need to wipe data before booting if already in the previous ProtonAOSP version .
Thank you for bringing love to our pixel series !

Love to know what you have changed to alter battery usage before i download it, every other 11 ROM drains like a bathtub, even at idle

I didn't do anything specific for battery; it's just that battery tends to be better on custom ROMs than it is on Pixel 2 stock, partially due to being less bloated.

My ROM reports a fake security patch level to SafetyNet so basic attestation will always pass. However, I've observed that Google has started to roll out hardware attestation for the Pixel 2, so I also modified the model name with an invisible character to revert it back to basic. The Pixel 5 name is not used.

Sorry for the inconvenience, the problem lies in a botched SafetyNet fix that was missed in testing due to not flashing all partitions. You can make it boot temporarily by flashing the stock boot image. A hotfix that boots out-of-the-box will be up shortly.

No, ideally the latest stock ROM would be installed in both slots beforehand but that's only because this build is missing firmware. A hotfix will be up shortly with the latest firmware included.

Nice, got gpay working with magisk.
Unfortunately stuck on splash after installing edxposed. This is definitely an unreasonable request but if xposed edge features could be built natively into the rom I wouldn't need xposed

Xposed will never be supported, you are on your own if it's broken. I wouldn't recommend using it because it can cause all sorts of weird bugs.

A hotfix update has just been released to fix issues with a botched SafetyNet fix that caused most apps using HTTP outside of a browser to break, including Google Translate, SMS/MMS, and many others. I've figured out a new way to fix SafetyNet that doesn't come with those pitfalls, so SafetyNet is still passing out-of-the-box and apps will no longer break. A bug with sensitivity in the Active Edge settings has also been fixed, and missing firmware has been re-added so there is no need to flash the latest stock ROM first.
Re-download v11.2.0 from GitHub for the fixes. I've decided to re-upload it rather than bumping the version because the previous SafetyNet fix was very broken and also caused boot failures if boot.img wasn't replaced.

Great work, and thank you for the fast updates. Really looking forward to using the ROM when I clean format next time. Waiting for Google to release the last Security patch in December before making the jump, don't want to clean install every month. I usually stick with a ROM for a few months at a time.

Just to clarify if anyone is confused: this is an Android 11 ROM, not Android 10. XDA DevDB has no option for 11 so I had to put 10. I've just edited the DevDB info out of the post now and added 11 to the header so there should be no more confusion.

I am testing proton, so far its fast, snappy, and stable, one word of caution for anyone who uses my recommendations. Do not patch the boot.img as I always recommended, this landed me in a bootloop. Once I wiped the device clean, and started over (installed ROM+GAPP), then setup the device, then once setup, reboot to BL/TWRP (ADB TWRP), and installed MAGISK zip version from within TWRP, it booted fine. It only has an issue if you patch the boot.img from within MAGISK itself then ADB the boot.img. Normally this is the only method I use, but it will not work properly with this ROM (which is perfectly fine as the zip works great and passes safetynet out of the box)!
This ROM doesnt have all the goodies I am used to, BUT its a VERY decent, and stable 11 ROM so I DO recommend users to at least try it if you are looking for a decent 11 ROM. Battery life for me is on par with 10 so I do not see any major show stoppers using this as a DD. I will run it for a few days and report anything found (if anything is found), otherwise, its great.

thank you very much for your assessment! I also find this rom to be very stable, snappy and the slight changes to the stock rom are very well thought out - next to perfect! big thanks to the dev krag0n!

I'm coming from an Android 9 Custom ROM and I wanted to switch to this, the instructions states that it should just be a simple flash. Should I still start from a clean reinstall of stock Android 11 or does flashing this come with that already?

fwiw, there is no evidence that Google has or plans to force hardware attestation on Pixel 2/XL. i monitor reports of these things over in the magisk threads, and as part of my own magisk module, and theres no suggestion it will happen to Pixel 2/XL, more likely it will happen with 4+ than the old Pixel 2/XL....
Ill probably change the fingerprint back to Pixel 2/XL and Android 11, personally i dont see the point of spoofing another device when the Pixel 2/XL is still officially supported...just my opinion, no offence meant

Stock has battery issues, all other 11 based ROMS ive tested have hadthe same battery issues. So i was asking in case you managed to find and fix the issue, because Google so far hasnt
I'll give it a crack anyways and see what its like, cheers

My Pixel 2 XL has been getting hardware attestation in all of my tests recently if the model name is set to "Pixel 2 XL". It's possible that I'm being A/B tested and most users don't have this problem, but either way, I haven't been able to pass SafetyNet without changing the model name because of it.
Either way, I've added hacks into the system in my ROM to avoid spoofing the model name while still defying hardware attestation and passing SafetyNet despite being on a mismatching security patch level. I agree, I don't want to change the model name just to pass SafetyNet, so I've been coming up with other solutions to avoid doing that.

Question Difference between STOCK vs LineageOs

Sorry for the ignorance, but I recently saw that the Lineage OS ROM for the Pixel 6 Pro has been officially released and I have some doubts.
I haven't installed ROMs for years (since the CYANOGEN MOD for the s7 edge) and then it was worth making the change.
But now, with the configuration that sells Stock ROMS for our mobile, would it be worth making the change? I remember that before when you installed the cyanogen, it lost camera quality, will it continue to happen? Another question I have is with the issue of payment via NFC, will there be any inconvenience at the same time as installing the bank's app and downloading the cards?
Thanks a lot for the answers!

I have lineage installed with safetynet-fix
I like it cause you can take an ota and not have plug the phone into PC, reroot etc. Camera is the same with google camera
It's a stable rom.

It's not officially supported but I've had it working on LineageOS (and 99% of custom ROMs) with the following (obviously you also have to hide Google Wallet in magiskhide or whatever your NFC payment is): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tion-x-7-6-1-02-22-2023.4546503/post-88225237
If you just want to flash LOS and not have root, you won't be able to use Google Pay or most apps that check safety net (banking apps, streaming apps, etc...)

continuation of cyanogenmod

is it worth it to flash LineageOS on Pixel? I mean on Pixel Phone are only Google Apps and not all the other Bloatware stuff.

Honestly, I wouldn't until after the P6P is no longer supported by Google. You may - not will - lose some Pixel-only features by installing a custom ROM, and of course losing Google Pay unless you root and install the Safetynet fix mod.

This and also trwp is still not available to make backups of the entire os. I am stuck on stock (which tbh im fine with since I have root and everything works fine). Wait till they officially discontinue the os for the phone.

I'm on stock A14 DP2 rooted. Some minor bugs, but nothing serous. One thing I very much miss from my previous phone is double tap to wake. Stock Google only allows single tap to wake, which is a deal breaker for me as there are too many unintentional wakeups that way.
I recently installed LOS 20 on my son's Oneplus 6, and double tap to wake is indeed present there. My question is, does that work for a P6/P6 Pro or would I be stuck with single tap or nothing?

That's a ROM function so you should have double tap capability if you install LineageOS.

Is there a difference between customization with lineage and stock? I've installed lineage on this phone before and i didn't see any customization options like cyanogenmod did on older devices. I noticed ricedroid and crdroid have customization settings for many things. So does lineage not have any customization or am I missing something here?

There is some customization, but it's low key compared to Cyanogenmod. Most customizations can be done with apps.
