New touchscreen firmware!

Hi all,
as stated in the past days by oneplus, a new touch firmware has been released and will be in cluded in 5/15 cm12.1 nightly. this should (i hope so) resolve all the remaining touch issues that affects many opo
Here is the coomit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/98287/
05/18: The touch firmware has been reverted to the old one because of battery drain caused by dt2w

sub.

Looks like working very good. Flashing Nightly and screen is more responsible ever sinde the failure occured. waitung für Lord Boefla or slimkat to include it

Tested and feeling much better

can you please test if two finger on the same X axys are now registered correctly? my opo is through the RMA process so i can't test

Certainly seems to be working for me. Typing fine, and x-axis multitouch is working great.

Yes, working fine for me.....
The question now is.... will be forever?

multi touch on mine phone on x axis is still jerking from time to time
sometimes it works normally, detects 2 fingers, then on the other hand detects one or none
will see how it will perform through the day, but since i made a clean flash, i doubt that it will be better...

I have the grounding issue with my ONE. No problems with higher temperatures though.
I flashes Franco Kernel r43 boot.img on my stock cm12s. Fo rme the issues are gone.
x-axis touching is working good. Swiping texts is finally possible again!
Thanks to synaptics!!
I will probably switch to cm12.1 nightlies again when I have some spare time left.

Any way this could be a flashable zip for all ROMs or is this something that is baked into the ROM/Kernel?

You can flash Franco's kernel below if you are on CM12s/CM12 (5.0.2). Or the alternative is to flash the 5/15 nightly (5.1) or wait for it to be rolled out OTA.

No chance for CM11s? I'm just not a fan of 5.x right now.

Nice! Thanks for the link. Flashing now.
I had only mild touchscreen issues so I'll see if it gets rid of them.

I've never had touch issues thus far, but I am a bit disappointed at the fix. Although I do notice a better touch response, the fix isn't a fix and is a workaround. PPPreferences has a huge battery drain (com.qualcomm.display) which basically, like I've seen written somewhere, means they're just keeping an app open to recalibrate the screen constantly.

Not for me. Nothing changed in terms of battery usage with today's nightly. Also it isn't even listed under Apps in the battery screen on my device.
This app is only used for post processing (Live Display) and has nothing to do with the new firmware.
I was suffering from pretty bad heat related issues, all gone now.

I just flashed Boeffla-Kernel for CM11s. I can definitely tell a difference. There was one app that I could make it jump when swiping up or down and holding it toward the bottom-middle of the screen, no longer have that issue. I also constantly had trouble with it "clicking" things when all I wanted to do was scroll up or down on something. Have not had that issue since flashing.

Hmm that's pretty interesting then, but I don't seem to be the only one reporting a difference in the CPU time of something which includes the Qualcomm services. We'll see with more usage though.

Do you need root to install?

Yes, until it gets pushed officially, as you need to either flash a custom kernel or the latest nightly.

MM Android 6.0.1 Ho do you find with the new hydrogen ROM?

Do you find any bugs or improvement?
I've never installed any hydrogen ROM (always oxygen) but i'm curious to know if MM is more fluid than LP.
Does doze works?

Well, I've tested it. I can say that the Fingerprint is a huge improvement compare to OxygenOS' one. For the rest of the ROM, it seems to be pretty solid and smooth. I don't tested it more than 20 minutes (really don't like HydrogenOS..), but yeah, it seems to be a good improvement compare to OxygenOS in general. But I've had some troubles going back to OxygenOS, so if you want to test it out by yourself, be sure TO BACKUP EVERYTHING important into your PC (or out your phone).
But yeah, I hope OxygenOS will be as fast and stable as HydrogenOS is.

Here's hoping. I just can't get used to H2OS any time I've tried it. I guess I'd still rather use something closer to stock Android, even if it doesn't perform as well!

But if you change hidrogen launcher (with nova or GEL) doesn't seems like a vanilla ROM? Are there other changes from Oxygen over the quick settings and the launcher?
p.s. is only in english and chinese?

yes, only 2 language
the difference are in, launcher, notification, quick setting, different swipe (left for close app o erase notification, right for open notification or lock app, so you can't kill it in multitasking)

I've been running it for a couple of days. First thing I did was to remove some of the Chinese stuff. Second was to change the launcher.
There are fewer options for customization, probably because MM is new to the opt, and that its beta software.
The thing I miss is the automatic activation of do not disturb from the cm builds, not a deal breaker. There's no dark theme, but layers manager seems to do the trick.
It's fast, FP works better than any lollipop rom I've tried and at par or better with the FP on iPhone.
The only problem I e noticed with camera is occasionally it's slow to respond, possible due to doze, also the audio level seems to vary when recording video.
I didn't notice smart lock, but my email server prevents me from using it anyways.
The sound quality from the speaker seems clearer.
I've always had poor battery life battery is much improved, and it got better when I removed Facebook, this is subjective as I haven't tested it out much.
Some of the settings are hard to find, but it a learning curve.
Wifi will drop when doing a soft reboot, for theme changes, and it won't reboot into recovery with flashify, or reboot at all with xposed, again no big deal. Cycling wifi on/off in control panel brings it back I've occasionally lost the 4G/3G indicator, but data is still active, again cycling data on/off brings it back.
A few xposed modules won't work with mm, but that's kind of DUH, they aren't updated. I'm impatient for "alert slider" to get an update, as the flashlight on is very useful to me. I haven't installed many modules as they all are for lollipop. YouTube background playback works.
LTE seems to work, but it says 4G, I can use either sim and get LTE, something I missed on any other MM rom.
I did lose my twrp, but I flashed it over adb, and it now working with power and vol+

I installed kingmericans hos today. Like everyone has noticed FP is blazing fast. Rest is more or less the same as LP hos. A few lags here and there but it's definitely way better than OOS. Even I CNT get used to hos. I revert back to vanilla android eventually but I'm glad at least one plus got one of their ROMs to be nice.

I found it fast and stable. Great job, I was happy in lollipop, now I'm 10x times happier with this device even we don't have custom kernels yet. (Of course nobody will work in a kernel for a leaked beta)

Not anymore, you can swipe both sides to erase notification or recent app. That thing was on lollipop h2os.

For me was terrible. Now I clean flash it again and it looks better, I will test a few more days. Now I have 3h screen with maps 40m (GPS), WiFi and 4G, and 47% left.
I should erase logkits and all that stuff. I don't do it because I have done it before (before 2nd clean flash) and i had terrible battery life.

I used the leak for 2 days had a hard time coming back so i wouldnt recommend it.... But there were many bugs beyond that, the phone was extremely fast and fp sensor was just amazing didnt get an error in 2 days that ive used and but bugs do persist.. Lets just wait for the stock oos, its gonna be a great update

Using Kingmercians Hydrogen OS and with Google Now Launcher it is really quite amazing. Sure, it isn't as good as Oxygen, but it is Marshmallow and that alone makes it worth it. You can customize Hydrogen OS to be perfectly OK and while Oxygen is indeed preferred I'd rather use this until Oxygen comes out and then just install Oxygen, it's not like it is hard to switch ROM's.

Well it's butter. Can't stand OOS after this. Xposed works so customization galore. Of course battery is much better. Heck even Viper works. Finally OP2 works.

H²OS MM <3
Hey !
I just give my personal opinion.
I find this first beta v1.0.2 & TWRP 3.0.0 by Kingmercians incredibly robust and fluid.
The FP sensor is a marvel and is faster than the iPhone 6 Plus ! ;p
In addition it consumes nothing with Servicely ! And the best part about it is that the power save mode is 100% lag free !
I tried to return the phone in all directions, with Xposed v80 where I encountered some problems with Gravity Box...
Especially the percentage of battery level that does not stop to make small jumps. If I put the default settings in Gravity Box and puts the battery percentage from the system menu, it disappears in seconds...
(So I deleted Gravity Box and everything is back to normal when you reboot.)
If not except it Locale More works very well too. (For me it's in French !)
One last thing if I had the choice the first time I used the Oneplus 2 to change the preinstalled ROM (OOS), I would do it again when we see H²OS is its superb IOS like interface.
At any point of view I prefer H²OS.
Do not forget this is a beta, some bug not very important, works better than OxygenOS 2.2.0, there is no doubt.
Peace.

[Discussion] How many of you have switched to Nougat?

The title says it all. Lets have a general discussion on how many people have really switched to Nougat - why have you / why have you not?
For me, after testing tons of Nougat based ROMs (PureNexus, LOS, CM14.1, RR, AOSP, AOSPlusOne, Slim7, etc) I switched back again to COS 13.1.2 because it has by far proved to be the most stable for me - I use camera extensively on my phone (Snapchat, Instagram are secondary, I do smartphone photography as well) and COS provides the best camera quality for me in all the apps. Camera quality is always the primary reason I have to switch back to COS. Performance and battery have been decent for me on COS too. I get around 4.5-5 hours of SOT with my regular usage always.

I switched to Nougat because it is latest and certainly has fixes and security patches over previous version and also every custom rom and even devs only build for Nougat now.
And most importantly it does my daily routine work with my device perfectly so there's no reason switching back to MM unless a burden falls upon you
Again not to forget the delicious ui on Nougat.

As in signature: I'm on TugaPowerROM N.
It comes rooted with MagiskSU, features ViPER4Arise audio and OMS7 (Substratum) theming engine.
CyanogenMod has switched to LineageOS, and Cyanogen Inc. ceased all activities.
Like Mr.Ak, I think that staying with COS will lead to vulnerabilities. TugaPowerROM is often updated, with latest Android security patches.

I really liked Nougat, and respect how all the development has shifted to N.
I just can't stand cameras of N ROMs ATM. Maybe in the future, they get better!

Completely agree to the COS part, i really want to switch. But i have a certain ocd when it comes to checking the camera quality in all the regular apps I use (whatsapp, instagram, snapchat, vsco, etc).
I guess i'll just have to look over this 'minor' niggle

Or you really can't stand the OMS part? But Cos also doesnt support OMS.

All we have is an blueish UI with some nice Xperia additions and fancy icons. If you don't like the launcher you can switch , and , if you don't like the icons , you can apply new ones with the stock XOSP launcher . I hope you like it

Been testing a few nugat ROMs but everyone seems to have some king and off issue. Since I don't needs or want root because I want too use banking apps. And I want fast charging. Aka up to 2amp as you get on stock or cm13. Havnt found one that does both this things.

I recommend renovate ice with the notorious kernel, it has always been smooth and battery life is great.

I HIGHLY recommend the Note 8 port "IronMan-Rom 7.1.1".
https://forum.grifodev.ch/thread/139-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

I'm coming from Oreo beta - I don't recommend it. Magisk doesn't work, kernel is not battery friendly, % is dropping from 100 to 80 in no time..... also lags here and there, not everything is working as it should. Yeah beta definitely, there's room for improvement.

Nice - thanks for the heads-up!
I was tempted by the Beta, but then I knew I'd miss the little features that I'm used to (like long press back button to kill etc.0) not to mention the stability factor. But I was itching for a change in rom. I was on Batman rom for a while and then I saw the Ironman rom Note 8 port and I haven't looked back! Everything, for me, works flawlessly - got Substratum theme, using the kernel that is provided and honestly I would say this is the best possible rom available for the S8 (I was even getting tempted to jump ship to the Pixel 2 XL...) but I feel very settled once again
Let me know how you find it!

After few days of testing all I can say is AWESOME. Stable, smooth, battery friendly. And tons of customizations. It reminds me of good times on Lollipop when Xposed was working and I was using Wanam app to change everything...
One thing is driving me crazy though. Substratum! It's not working properly. I have the Sungstratum paid add-on and SwiftDark theme (I have paid for that too!). It shows that all themes applied successfully, but after reboot nothing is changed (sometimes notification bar and settings are themes, but not always). What theme are you using?

I just bought Swift Black theme from play store. Uninstalled everything: substratum, add-on and themes. Rebooted. Installed everything again: substratum, add-on and black theme. Granted all permissions for substratum (I'm using Magisk). Applied theme. Restarted UI only and voila it worked for every app including dialer, contacts and gmail. Then rebooted. And dialer, contacts and gmail is all white again...
Ugh. I think I'm gonna liaise with substratum support but I don't think they would help as they already mentioned that on Samsung it CAN work (but that not mean it would).

The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

Hey, I'm not too sure if that's possible given you've got a snapdragon, but I'd certainly ask to find out for sure in their thread here:

Good luck!

Flash twrp from twrp thread, format data in twrp, flash magisk then flash ROM.

I use the Soldier ROM with NOX kernel. I don't know if is the best, but is better than the stock ROM.

Old thread but I am finally looking to root my S8 as it's getting really slow and battery is pretty ****ty. Thinking a lite rom combined with an optimised kernal is the way to go, problem is there is so many and I couldn't find this covered anywhere.

The phone is fine with Stock Pie and NX 29 kernel.
I won't back to custom roms. I used renovate ice, hades and Alexis roms, but all these 3 have awful photo quality.
Photos mean to be viewed even after 50 years, so they must be good.

That's why I prefer stock rom. Camera is such a great piece o hardware. Cheers

Need a new rom

I'm on the latest android Q (i think its called that?) My OS is pretty jacked up most likely from not having a full clean install in a long time (setting app has a bizarre name and wifi and bluetooth having odd glitches.)
That being said I'd like to try something new and would love to give AOSP a try or a custom OOS based rom, but I have concerns.
Face unlocking working? I would prefer to keep this feature. (AOSP)
Wifi calling working? I have bad connection around my apartment.
Hows the bluetooth in either custom or AOSP? I get a lot of audio output issues.

Paranoid Android Quartz 4 is my daily driver

So far I tried
paranoid <pretty stable but is to basic for my taste, and no face unlock,
Resurrection remix < great but a little but laggy
Havoc < good stuff recommended
But by far the best is pixenos, man this Rom runs so smooth and has a build in updater!
Gpay works out of the box, It did not need magisk, even tho I installed it for quick switch and lawnchair.
Super easy instalation as well!
I can't stress enough how smooth this rom performs!

Pixel OS just made my list, would like to know a few details though.
1. Is it safetynet passed ?
2. Does it support VoLTE and VoWiFi ?
3. Face unlock and FP unlock works alright ?
4. Any Bluetooth connectivity issues ?
5. How is the audio quality ?

1. Is it safetynet passed ? Yeah, I use magisk, but If I recall correctly it works right out of the box, even without magisk, my banking app and gpay work just fine
2. Does it support VoLTE and VoWiFi ? Honestly I don't know, I guess so, never need to think about that, I just call and it works haha
3. Face unlock and FP unlock works alright ? Yeah, never had a problem with it, it's fast and reliable, I mean for custom roms, I have the feeling that with oos its a tad bit faster, but nevertheless, it works fine
4. Any Bluetooth connectivity issues ? Nope, using Sonys mx4's, Google buds and Samsung buds plus, all work fine
5. How is the audio quality? So far so good, I use viper over magisk to enhance it a little, but for me it's fine overall, but i am not an audiophile... [/QUOTE]

Does any of the rom have dual space like in OOS?
I would like to make leap from OOS but this dual space feature doesn't allow me to do so. As my 2nd whatsapp is very important for me
If there is any other way to get 2nd whatsapp(not whatsapp bussiness) running on same device.
Thanks.
