Making this port was challenging because Sailfish OS, from version 3, doesn't support kernel version 3.0 which is apparently the kernel on the S2.
Fortunately, the SailfishOS-porter guys do very seriously know their business and they are extremely helpful.
From here I would like to emphasize my gratitude towards them for helping me in this project! Thank you!
Requirements:
Before you start to download anything, please read it carefully.
The first requirement is your device must be rooted and you should be able to install a custom recovery (preferably TWRP) onto it.
For this ROM you can either use the stock partitions or you can re-partition to give more space to /system and /data. It doesn't matter which one you chose, I tried and both worked well.
Or if you scroll down to the New partition layout, you can use a completely unique partition layout which gives the most of the internal storage to Sailfish OS. (I currently use my device with this setup.)
Installation instructions:
1. Download all files, CM12.1 zip, Sailfish OS zip, twrp2.8.7.img and kernel*.img to the external SD card on the phone
2. Reboot into TWRP (hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up)
3. Do a factory reset
At this point if you want you can repartition the S2 internal storage. (Later you can put the stock layout back if you want to go back to Android.)​
The steps for repartitioning are:​
​
Download the 'Repartition: System=1GB, Data=14GB, eMMC=8MB, /preload=7MB' or the 'Repartition: System=1GB, Data=4GB, eMMC=7GB, /preload=0.5GB' .zip file and put into the external SD card. (The difference between these two is explained down at the New partition layout section
Then boot into TWRP and flash the zip as any other zip file. The script first will warn you that it cannot do the partitioning with mounted partitions and it also copies the script itself into /tmp. You just simply need to flash the copied version from /tmp and that will do the trick. The script will format the new partitions accordingly, so once it is completed you can go ahead with the next step.
4. Still in recovery, flash the CM12.1 image
5. Still in recovery, flash Sailfish Os image
6. Still in recovery, flash twrp2.8.7.img to recovery partition
7. Still in recovery, flash kernel*.img to boot partition (this step is not required since sfos 4.4, kernel is installed by flashing the zip file)
8. Reboot
9. Enjoy the latest (4.4.0.68) Sailfish OS on your i9100.
You will need patience as the first boot will take for a while. Then you can go through the initial Sailfish OS set up.
This Sailfish OS Android HAL based on CM 12.1.

Apps from Openrepos
Apart from the Jolla store there are plenty of other, community-made apps in Openrepos. There is a user-friendly app to install/remove apps from this source called Storeman. It can be downloaded and install from this location: Storeman
Debug/login/troubleshooting:
In Ubuntu, connect USB cable. telnet 192.168.2.15 2323 or SSH [email protected].
Notes:
On Sailfish OS, as it is a Linux system, you cannot install/run any android apps.
How to make a backup/restore with TWRP:
Now the old clunky method is no longer needed. Once you flashed the twrp2.8.7.img to the recovery partition you can boot into TWRP with the usual button combination (Hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up) and can make backup/restore.
Instructions for Bluetooth (On Sfos 4.3, BT works normally, don't need this magic)
BT works however turning it on/off is not as user friendly as I hoped. Here is a little instruction/troubleshooting.
Turn BT on (It only works from Settings/Bluetooth!!!!! DON'T try from TOP MENU!!):
If BT hasn't turned on since last boot:
go to Settings/Bluetooth
tap on the dot next to the Bluetooth option
If BT has turned on at least once since last boot:
go to Settings/Bluetooth and tap on the dot next to the Bluetooth option
go back to Settings
go to into Settings/Bluetooth again
tap on the dot next to the Bluetooth option (if it is not turned on repeat from Step 2! Eventually, BT should turn on.)
Turning BT off: Go to Settings/Bluetooth and tap on the white dot next to the Bluetooth option.
Notice: Never try to tap on the white dot twice without going back to the main menu of Settings.
Never try to turn BT on from Top Menu.
However, if you accidentally did any of these BT cannot be turned on again unless you:
reboot the device (this is the easiest) or
in a command line as root issue the following command 'systemctl restart bluetooth-rfkill-event.service' (this will restart the bluetooth-rfkill-event service)
I am not sure how pairing works with different devices.
New partition layout
I mentioned that I tried this Sailfish OS installation with the stock partitions and with another what created for Android 7.1.2. With the stock partitions however was a bit more sluggish than the other one. No wonder as in the stock partitions the /system has only 0.5GB and the /data has only 2GB storage and the rest 12GB is the separate internal storage (eMMC). In Sailfish the entire os (rootfs) including all directories (like /home) live on the /data partition so the 2GB was a bit tight. (The OS itself consumes about 1GB so not much left for apps and other stuff.)
With the other partition layout, the picture was a bit better as the /system had 1GB, the /data got 4GB and the rest 9GB remained for the internal storage. But the partition where the OS lives was separated from the 9GB partition. When I installed a few apps and copied some big files into the /home, I felt the limitation very soon.
Although this layout was sufficient for android but not good enough for Sailfish.
Therefore I have created my own partition table where I restructured the sizes accordingly to my need. (The lanchon repit zip file is available in the download section.)
In this new layout I gave 1GB for the /system (the prior 0.5GB was also fine as the CM12.1 base consumed only 400MB which let a 100MB free space, but I thought that might be not enough in the future so I have chosen 1GB here), I gave only 8MB for the internal storage (eMMC which is mounted into /android directory in this rom), and this made me possible to gave all the rest 14GB to the /data partition. So basically the Sailfish apps and /home can utilize the entire internal storage.
As an extra, on the S2 there is a 0.5GB /preload partition which is hidden and unused by default. In my partition setup I set 7MB to this and the rest almost 0.5GB is also added to the /data.
Go back to stock partitions
In case you would like to do this, you can download the stock partition pit file from the download section.
For this use Odin v1.83 which is also in the download section.
The steps are:
Boot the device into download mode and connect to the PC.
Open Odin v1.83 and tick the 'Re-partition' checkbox at the Option.
Then click on the PIT button and select the downloaded stock pit file.
Then click on the PDA button and select the downloaded TWRP (AOSP kernel) file.
Then click on start.
Done. You need to boot into TWRP and wipe all partitions (system, data, emmc) then you can install the stock rom back. (or if you select the stock rom at PDA instead of the AOSP kernel, it will do the repartition and install the stock rom as well. In this case, you don't need to wipe anything and the device will reboot into the stock Android at the end.)
Changelog:
15.02.2022
=========
General advice:
Patience! All (except camera) apps do start and work but they do need time. This is true for websites. When you clicked on something, wait patiently, eventually, it will start/load.
Work:
Same as previously
Improvement: Stock browser stable and works!
Do not work:
The camera app crashes the device into reboot.
03.09.2021
=========
Work:
Same as previously
Bluetooth does work, but once it is off, needs to be toggled a few times in Settings to make it turn on again.
14.06.2020
=========
Work:
Same as previously + Mobile data is fixed! (To make it work: change Protocol to IP in Settings/Mobile network/Data access point.)
Bluetooth doesn't work, it is still WIP
Do not work:
Same as previously
06.05.2020
=========
The latest version of Sailfish OS 3.3.0.16 is available to download. This requires a different kernel. Both of these can be found in the download section.
Note: With the new version the patch that displays the provider logo at the bottom on the lock screen stopped working. This issue is not related to the OS. The owner of the app should fix it.
Update: In openrepos Kodi is fixed for SFOS 3.3.0.16!
29.04.2020
=========

Wifi
MTP
Bluetooth (instruction is above)
Calls incoming/outgoing
Messages incoming/outgoing
External SD card detected and mounted to /run/media/nemo/_sdcard_name_ (where _sdcard_name_ is name of the sd card when it was formatted like 7C97-785B)
Internal SD card is mounted to /android
Pixel ratio and icons set to 1.00 (Can be changed to 0.82 which is more appropriate for the device's screen. to do this as root run the 'kimmoli-diyicons.sh 0.82' command. It will fail to install imagemagick but will set the ratio to 0.82 and as we have all icons in place it will work.)
Audio is routed to headphone if that presents
Camera front/rear (only for taking pictures)
Jolla store
findutils is installed by default (updatedb and locate commands work out of the box)
Torch
the charging icon does work properly, however, there is a little delay

kernel and recovery .img can be flashed from TWRP (no need for PC to flash Sailfish OS, kernel and recovery)
Low Power Mode (AKA "sneak peek" or "ambient display") works (install instruction is in this post)
The softkeys (each side of the home button) work as notification leds
Do not work:
Mobile data (WIP)
Video recording (It doesn't really work in other 3.x versions either. See my test results here.)
There is an extra little issue that is a delay in screen refresh which is related to how vsync is handled in v10 backend in qt5-qpa-hwcomposer-plugin. I managed to improve this but there is a little delay still. Probably this is the reason why we need to jump back to Settings every time before trying to turn BT on, but I am not sure.

Work:
Same as previously + Softkeys are used as notification leds
Bluetooth doesn't work, it is still WIP

In case somebody missed these I would like to highlight some improvements since day 1:
Now both the kernel and twrp can be flashed as an .img from twrp (no need for PC and heimdall anymore)
Plus I uploaded a kernel with Flatpak support

With kernel07_flatpak, I have installed Flatpak and Angelfish but got an error when started Angelfish.
It looks like this is a limitation of the old kernel, but there might be a workaround.
I'll keep you posted.

With kernel12_mtp, MTP works. (and bluetooth partially)

The soft keys each side of the home button are used as notification leds. As this device doesn't have leds, the softkeys can be re-used as "leds". They do blink if the device is fully charged or there is an unread incoming text message. When the device is on charger they are on, otherwise both of them are off.

Can you post your sources? I'm interested in getting an I9100 as my new phone, and was considering a port and I'm happy to see you've already done all the leg work and then some!
Also about the kernel on this phone, I've been trying to port to a tablet with weird kernel images, can you run "file (path to android base kernel image)" - if it says ForPro FPT or similar I will be very very interested in how you got this phone to boot into rootfs. Very interested in the progress you've made though :3 Thanks for the awesome rom!

Sorry for delay in my reply.
The necessary repos in github are:
local manifest
dhd (in here the dhd submodule has to be refreshed from mer-hybris repo upgrade-3.2.1 branch)
droid-hal-i9100
droid-hal-version-i9100
android_device
kernel
The file (path to android base kernel image) command gives me: "Linux kernel ARM boot executable zImage (little-endian)"
A new image has been generated and can be downloaded. This one includes the patch of reusing the two softkeys (each side of the home button) and they do work as a notification leds!
Currently I am working on the mobile data and bluetooth (this latter partially works but is not reliable yet).

You're a g! I just bought an i9100M (different radio ).
I do recall ofono being unfriendly towards older RIL versions, galaxy nexus afaik is unfixable in 2.0+. However, if you have any service that is exciting! I can't wait to setup my environment and play around with this! If i9100M has a different partition layout/mount points (you know how samsung is) I will blow my brains out. How is camera working? Does this image include gstreamer/droidmedia?
You've probably got this sorted way better than I could hope to sort it! I'm shocked this doesn't have more replies.
EDIT: I noticed you have a complex patch for the pixel ratio. Have you tried just setting it in your patterns?

I am not sure what you d understand under 'any service' but except the mobile data, everything else works fine (calls in/out, texts in/out).
I don't know the difference between the i9100 and i9100m but on the internet you probably can find something about it.
One suggestion, before you start porting, install an android onto and boot into that and note the mounting points. This can save a little time when you need to set the fixup_mountpoints in hybris-boot.
The camera works but only for pictures. The video recording doesn't work. I think this is down to the cm12.1 base what I used for my port. I think gstreamer/droidmedia are there but am not sure.
I think the reason why this doesn't get more hype because this is a very old device and except some old fashioned folks like us, not many are using anymore. I don't mind it because this is my hobby. I am going through a to-do list until all I wanted works.
Currently, as the new version 3.3.0.14 is out) I am working on to update my port to 3.3.0.14. Unfortunately currently there is no OTA but hope eventually it will be sorted.
Changing the pixel ratio is not essential as the default 1.0 is ok-ish. I have found the 0.82 better so I included the icons into my image. As the script (kimmoli-diyicons.sh) is also included, we just need to run one command as root. I may try to set the 0.82 out of the box but currently it is not my to priority. As I will need to re-build everything for 3.3.0.14, I will try to set 0.82 in the pattern file.
Please keep me posted with your progress.

You'd 100% know if you built gstreamer, it's specified in the middleware section iirc and you have to uncomment it from your patterns. I hope it's easier to build nowadays. Also I noticed your port wasn't on the mer-wiki, if I remember my login is it okay if I add it :3 ?
EDIT: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris#Samsung - I added it to the bottom. creditted you in the edit note. you can create an account on the mer bug wiki and use it to edit the tables. I'll also be closely following this and editting it to match your progress. Tell me if you'd like any values changed!

I remember that I built gstreamer and un-commented the related stuff in the pattern file. I don't know whether easier to build now because I don't know how difficult it was before. I only can compare this project against my hammerhead one a few months earlier. For the hammerhead I needed to build the image with MIC, now the rpm/dhd/helpers/build_packages.sh command does everything for you. (For this you need to export the RELEASE, EXTRA_NAME values in your .hadk.env)
Unfortunately I still don't have OBS account so I couldn't add this device into the wiki. Thank you for doing that! Unfortunately new account creation on the mer bug wiki is restricted at the moment.
I have checked the wiki you have added and if you don't mind I would like you to amend a few things:
LED works (the two softkeys have repurposed as notification leds)
GPS works
Sensors Gyro and Magnetometer both work
(I need to double check the RTC alarm and USB net.)

I updated the page. I was going to set up my build env but seeing your row in the adaptations page made me realise you're so far along, and there isn't anything I could really do to push things forward by much. Once you get data and camera working this is pretty much one of 2 daily driver stable samsung sfos ports. Congrats :3 !

Thank you for the update and for the congrats but I think it is only partially my merits. I probably couldn't done this without the help of sailfishos-porter guys.
As I mentioned in the main comment, I am using my S2 with this image on it as a secondary phone already. Mobile data is not crucial as my main phone can be a hotspot and with my S2 I can connect to it via wifi. Of course this doesn't stop me trying to make that work. (The BT was almost done but I then broke something.)
The camera is a different story. Afaik the video recording generally is broken in the CM12.1 base that I chosen for this device. (That doesn't work on my hammerhead which is also using CM12.1 base.) So I think that will remain outstanding unless I try to port with a different android base.
I think will stop with this for while because the new version (3.3) is out soon and would like to upgrade to it first, then continue working on the missing bits.

Video recording works in the latest scm12.1 snapshot (YOG7D). I wish they hadn't tanked the old etherpad faq, I swear I saw something about hybris 12.1 specific video recording stuff.
If I can find another sub 20 USD i9100 I am definitely working on this, but since my i9100m is my daily driver and dualbooting isn't as easy as with other devices (espescially since YOG7D doesn't have isorec committed ). Thanks for getting so much done though, You have no idea how much it means to me that Sailfish OS is available for our device, and so stable too! :laugh:

I think the video recording also works in cm12.1 on the android side, but the problem is a, between the android and Sailfish or b, on the Sailfish side. I am not sure but when I tried to fix it on the hammerhead (same cm12.1 base) I was told the recording was broken in general with cm12.1 base. I'll see how it works (what I can do about it) after Sailfish 3.3 is out.
Have you thought about to purchase a cheap android phone to use as daily driver and using the i9100m for your Sailfish project? (You probably can get a decent second hand android phone for sub 20 maybe with better spec than the i900.)
Thanks again for the kind words. This phone (the S2) is my favorite old friend. It is indestructible . I have soft bricked so many times and managed to install many other OS but as couldn't find Sailfish OS, so I though worth a try to port. And with support of the Sailfishos-porters guys, my dream became real :good: .

Sailfish
Wow, great. I installed and the system works! Bluetooth does not work after installing the packages, but bluetooth-rfkill-event- * are not installed (error). There are few programs in the system, however. Especially browsers, the standard one hangs up (maybe there is a third-party?). Slightly slows down, but bearable.
By the way, are you not working with @linusdan? It also seems to be working on the port github com /sailfish-i9100 (link)
Sorry no link rights.
P/s By the way, I saw on the postmarket wiki site for i9100 about working kernels for our device. Available: kernel version 4.2 or mainline kernel

I am glad you managed to install it. Have you tried to re-partition the internal memory as I advised?
Yeah, the bt and mobile data is still WIP status. Hopefully will have some time to complete them soon.
For the browser, the native one doesn't hang for me. You can try to look for and install one from the openrepos. (I suggest to install the Storeman as you will find more useful apps for Sailfish OS.)
I don't know linusdan but have seen he has checked this post already. Hope he also found it useful.
I am aware of the postmarketos for the S2 and tested it on my S2. At that time (about a year ago) there was no mainline linux kernel option for the S2. Unfortunately the mainline kernel doesn't help with Sailfish because the Samsung proprietary blobs are missing from there. This means Sailfish wouldn't work. It needs the drivers from the Android layer.

Wow, great. I installed and the system works! Bluetooth does not work after installing the packages, but bluetooth-rfkill-event- * are not installed (error). There are few programs in the system, however. Especially browsers, the standard one hangs up (maybe there is a third-party?). Slightly slows down, but bearable.
By the way, are you not working with @linusdan? It also seems to be working on the port github com /sailfish-i9100 (link)
Sorry no link rights.
P/s By the way, I saw on the postmarket wiki site for i9100 about working kernels for our device. Available: kernel version 4.2 or mainline kernel

I forgot to mention that there should be a folder '/edp17packages/bluetooth' where you can find the missing packages for the bt. Once you installed it, probably only need to tweak some config files and need to create some scripts. I currently started working on it.

[ROM] VEGAn-Tab Build, BETA 5.1.1 w/supplement (updated 02/12/11) Froyo

***ATTENTION IF YOU ARE COMING FROM A 4349+ STOCK ROM or MOD based off that PLEASE VISIT THE FOLLOWING LINK TO DOWNGRADE YOUR BOOTLOADER AND TNT VERSION BEFORE FLASHING CWM AND THIS OR ANY OTHER ROM****

LINK TO NEWEST DEVELOPMENT: VEGAn-TAB GINGEREDITION: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031250
VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1.1 supplement - Thanks Roebeet for staying on top of it!
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?jhq1cnu5wgkg3j5
md5sum: 7f3920a3ef2dabf264bfc8550d8f6d00
List of fixes / enhancements in this supplement:
- Maps 5.1 with the rotation fix
- Market 2.2.11
- Updated drivers that should bump up Quadrant slightly, and significantly improves Nenamark scores
- Frame rate change from 50 to 60
- Replaced the Froyo keyboard with the Gingerbread keyboard
- Added Adam Sniffer app, and their keyboard as an option
Quick instructions: This is a supplement, not a full firmware. You would run this like any other update.zip, but since the changes are small you shouldn't have to wipe data. You'd want beta 5.1 as your baseline, before running this, download link is further below for the full install of beta 5.1.
I know that the VEGAn users probably haven't been "feeling the love" the last few weeks, so we wanted to at least bump you up to some of the latest changes ported to TNTL. I have been plugging away hard on CM7 and VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition and rothnic's expertise with a lot of the these enhancements are the reason why they exist right now. The Nenamark bump actually originated from our Adam testing, believe it or not.
As Per usual USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK. We highly recommend clockworkmod recovery as a pre-req. We are only testing for cwm users.
I would also recommend a full data wipe between updates, at least for now when we reach STABLE RELEASE stage this may not be always necessary. There is a great tool out there you can use if you don't know about it already called Titanium Backup it is on the market and there is a free version. It allows you to backup/restore all your apps and even save/restore data for those apps... the only caveat I will say is do not restore any system apps (ie. apps preloaded with our roms) this can cause issues.
****The First Boot after installing BETA 5.1 will take a few minutes to catch up and will feel "laggy" this depends on how much media you have on your device for it to scan in the first time****
**If you are having issues with the new market telling you you don't have enough space to download then your SD Partitions are incorrect and need fixed** -Boot Clockworkmod, select advanded, then partition SD, 2048 for first option, and 0 for second. process will take ~10 mins ******WARNING THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTING ON SDCARD (internal) MAKE A BACKUP!!!!******
Now that we are nearing a STABLE Release here are some new links you may not be aware of:

This is an update.zip formatted file. You'd run this like you'd run any other update.zip file.

ONLY DO THIS IF YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT G-SENSOR BEING RIGHT FOR MOST G-SENSOR GAMES & WOULD RATHER HAVE MOUSE SUPPORT BACK -- *****PATCH TO REMOVE G-SENSOR FIX AND RESTORE MOUSE SUPPORT***** - ONLY INSTALL THIS AFTER BETA 5: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/patch.VEGAn.BETA5.remove.Gsensor.zip **Flash this like you do the roms in clockwork**
This is a collaboration between myself, Roebeet, and Rothnic - The G-TabDevs Team.
BETA 5 changes:
* NEW KERNEL **Thank you Rothnic** We have compiled alot of new features in to this with more on it’s way at some point.
* LAG on WAKE FIX! woo hoo! no more laggy tablet after sleeping.
* CIFS support (allows mounting shared folders over a network) – search CIFS in the android market for apps
* NTFS support (this gives us the ability to mount drives formatted NTFS which is popular on Windows machines…. Larger File Support)
* Ethernet on DOCK Support (This will only work right now if the device is booted while connected to the dock to activate the port)
* ***UPDATED EVEN BETTER****G-Sensor Fix (this has been long awaited by many! Fixes most games that use the g-sensor for controls, etc.) **this is a DIRTY FIX but it works… only issue is it does mess up mouse usage… so if you are a mouse user and don’t care about the g-sensor being right for games there is a patch below that you can apply ***AFTER*** you install BETA 5.
* REBOOT OPTION has now been added to the power menu. Remember that popup menu is a scrollable menu so if you don’t see it all use your finger and scroll on down!
* I increased the DELAY for the LONGPRESS Power button to bring up the menu… it is now a full second. This has dramatically decreased the number of time the power menu has accidentally popped up when trying to wake the device.
* Added the Tablet Compatible Stock Calendar that I dropped on you guys at Christmas on the Website.
No Major theme changes, nor some of the other fixes that I have been having issues with. The next release should include those. This is the LAST BETA I believe. The next release will take some time so settle in for a bit while we work on Release Candidate 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Benefits to us
- Soft buttons, like TnT. But no TnT UI layer getting in our way. So, for example, keyboard replacements should work.
- Just as fast as the new builds we have if not FASTER.
- Vega build has a bootup script where we can install user-based apks, after a data wipe. So, for example, Flash is now added to the build.
- Vega firmware development is probably more active than the official TnT development, at least from the little I've seen so far (though TnT have been fairly active lately).
Known issues
- Videos are not being automatically scanned on the EXTERNAL SDCARD.
*****FIXED**** Weird orange bar is showing up in the stock Calendar app *****FIXED****
- The newest Market apk seems to have issues with any device that's been re-partitioned outside of the default of 2048. The "fix" is to re-partition your SD back to the default of 2048, in clockworkmod. Thanks to proengin for informing us of this.
Changelog
- (a2) We are using alpha1 as our "base" image, and then a modular format on top of that. So, alpha2 is a full update.zip package.
- (a2) VOLD should be fixed using a hack. 30 seconds after bootup, SDCARD2 should start working. Or, it may not work. It's an alpha.
- (a2) Vega user apk script has been added, which is supposed to add Flash on a newly wiped system. But it's spotty at best.
- (a2) Camera should be fixed.
- (a2) We're deleting some of the unneeded system apps like Twitter, Facebook, the Htc stuff in gapps and talkback. You can always add these back via the Market. The reason is to keep the image a little cleaner.
- (a2) Audio fix added.
- (a3) Added changes to the framework for smaller status bar and VEGAn boot screen.
- (a3) Added Gingerbread keyboard.
- (b1) SSL bug fixed. Also, added the latest YouTube and Gmail apps. Removed the user apk script for now, as it's really buggy.
- (b2) VOLD post-boot replaced with a mount commend. Should be more stable and might fix the disappearing apps, I hope. New Gmail, adhoc wireless support added, adfree hosts file removed (get "adfree android" app in the market to get it back), removed the Phone apks which should improve battery life.
- (b3) Mounting issues should be completely corrected, audio issues are corrected, new rothnic theme added, new Gmail and Voice apps, new Settings app with advanced Wifi (and policy is set to "never sleep" by default).
- (b4) A New Cleaner Base System Image with the addition of files from new Advent Vega Release (we can finally get rid of the hacked together Image That I originally created for VEGAn)
- (b4) New Kernel (from latest unreleased TNT Update kernel version #15)
- (b4) New Boot Logo(replaces G-Tablet on white background)
- (b4) New VOLD Binary and MediaProvider(allows media to be seen from External SD Card as well as internal)(videos are not being automatically found on SDCARD2 ATM I am working on that)
- (b4) Settings app no longer has Call Settings option or mobile networks as it is not a phone
- (b4) New Market (We have got it showing even more apps... but still not all. Still need to do the market hack.)
- (b4) Some Graphics and Performance Improvements reduces video tearing issue among other improvements (G-TabDevs Performance Pack)
- (b4) New Music Player(pulled the one from CM6.1 and got it running on VEGAn)
- (b4) framework laid for bluetooth HID(not sure if it is fully functional yet please let us know if it work for you)
- (b4) laid the framework for POSSIBLE OPENVPN support(not fully functional yet sure if I can get it to work yet)
- (b4) New Theme Improvements - Switched to a more Cyan color highlights (the previous green may be available as a small update at a later date.
- (b4) Flash now auto installs on first boot up usually after about 15 secs so the tablet can finish booting

Stuck thread
I hope you have a lot of bandwidth on that server, gojimi, because you're about to get hammered. Might want to consider uploading through multiupload.com, the service roebeet's been using.
Downloading and getting ready to flash here, btw.
Downloading now! thanks for all the fast updates!!
Thanks for the hard work!!!!!! Downloading now
Ahh! didnot bring Gtab to work !
Will D/L after work.
Thank you Santa Clause ('s)
LOL.
And I just got done loading up the new latest VS ROM. It's much better, but it still ain't Vegan.
Oh well, I got no problem swapping out ROMS. Thanks for the hard work guys.
Thank You!!Just updated then did the TnT Kb + Live WP + Gapps..Formatted SD 2048 / 0 ..Did Market Fix and Im In....
Love the new Image instead of the gtab image.....
Can't decide on the bios or this boot logo..
Quadrant 2463
Thanks Again!!
looking sexy downloading now!!!
Is there any way to have the Home button bring up the launcher instead of the Clock app? Or am I experiencing a unique issue?
HID Testing
How do I enable the bluetooth HID? I am trying to connect to my keyboard, but I don't see any option for it?
It does bring up the generic message to try "0000" or "1234" however it did not work, or do I mis understand? is this something I need to do at the command line hidd --connect etc?
Everything else seems to work great, at least what I have tested.
Thanks !
Wiped everything before install. Runs well, but noticed a few issues.
First, my power button stopped putting the device to sleep. I could hold and get the shutdown menu. Reboot fixed this.
Second, if you use the lock screen feature and try to log in before the device finishes starting up (after a power on or reboot) the touchscreen becomes unresponsive. You have to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to force shutdown. Noticed this with beta 3 as well.
Third, hacked TSCalibration doesn't appear to be proloaded to find INI file on root of /sdcard instead of /sdcard2.
Seems great other than that!
So far so good! Wiped data, cache, and dalvik then installed. Got TB and restored my Pro license, then selected apps with data (no system data) to restore. Entered in Gmail account, tested Market. Applied Swype install/hack and rebooted. Running smooth, Quadrant in the 2400+ range.
The only problem I have is I can't sync my Facebook account under Accounts. I don't need this per se, but I'd like to have them.

I wasn't totally sure I had bluetooth HID licked this round or not... I don't have a bluetooth keyboard to test with... looks like we are part way there maybe by the next build we'll have a better understanding of what needs done.

Ehunyadi: you are one of only two people experiencing this issue. I would like to know what the model number of your tablet is. On the back starts with UPC3*** etc. It seems this may be linked to a specific run of devices but we are not sure. Let me know so I can track down the root cause of this.

Now that's weird... I guess it is not model specific then... It seems like something is telling it the tablet is docked when it clearly is not. Just to clarify did you do a full data/cache wipe in Clockwork Mod after installing BETA 4?
Just trying to run through the troubleshoot list.
Was loudness increased? Seems louder. Also seems a tad quicker.

[ROM][2.3.6] U8860 Modified Port

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage (including, but not limited to, loss of data, non-functional device etc.) which may occur to your device from following the directions (or from any failure to follow the directions) found on this post. Use (and flash) at your own risk.
Credits go to genokolar for actually porting the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8800Pro. This builds upon his port.
You may find his port announcement here, and you can download it from here. Thanks to user Skyline111 for the mirror.
Thanks also go to birdyi, who ported the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8860. His port contained some brilliant things such as CarrierIQ framework removal.
--
This is a 2.3.6 ROM for the U8800Pro based on the U8860 B866 ROM. 2.3.6, naturally, brings a slightly newer version of Gingerbread compared to our 2.3.5 with B540. While I know it's all about CM9 (ICS), MIUI and so on these days, I'm a fan of stock (in the Huawei sense of the term) Gingerbread.
Features (or limitations depending on what you think of some of the following entries) of this ROM:
Rooted (adb also runs as root, too)
(Huawei) DLNA
(Huawei) A task manager that shows open applications with pictures (launching it when pressing Home has disabled in this modification because I found the Recent menu saves more time)
(Huawei) Security Guard, a way of hiding text messages, I think
(Huawei) Traffic Manager – a data counter
(Huawei) Wi-Fi WPS support
(Genokolar) FPS unlocked by default (configurable in enhanced.conf)
(Genokolar) ZRAM (Compcache) enabled
(Genokolar) Changed the autorun.iso path to the image partition so that formatting /data from CWM does not leave you with an empty CD-ROM drive when you plug the phone into a computer
bugreports service turned off entirely so that pressing the volume up button quickly after you've pressed volume down does not leave you with a few seconds' delay and a bugreports folder on your memory card
BusyBox from CM7
Android’s toolbox (poor coreutils replacement; more barebones than BusyBox) has its full set of links installed in /system/bin, so you use Android’s native chmod etc. tools. Why? To match the stock B512 firmware and to ensure developers testing on the U8800Pro correctly hardcode “busybox” in their root programs if needed
Optional lazy CPUfreq governor
Default language and region changed from Chinese – China to English – United Kingdom
Added in boombuler’s AppWidgetPicker
CM7’s Pacman added in to remind you to install Google Apps after adding an account with the Setup Wizard (make sure GApps is installed!)
VoiceDialler.apk added in from B512 firmware (although, to be honest, the microphone quality on my phone is awful…)
Bash shell, fix_permissions script, iwmulticall, MMS.apk, tcpdump and gdbserver and additional ringtones etc. from CyanogenMod (20120107-cm-7.1.0-u8800pro-Geno-en.zip) added in
Phone model changed to Desire HD, so Gameloft games can be bought. This may cause licensing problems with bought Market applications so be careful. (Although, I must admit that giving money to a company that doesn't support our phone seems counter-intuitive.)
Shutdown vibration reduced from 500ms to 100ms because I hate it (especially at night) but understand its usefulness in determining the answer to the question “Has the phone gone off yet?”
Huawei’s god-awful Low Battery notification replaced with a nicer one from CyanogenMod
Widgets actually restore themselves after a reboot! This was fixed by me replacing 2.3.6's PackageManager service with Huawei's 2.3.5 one.
MyCalendar widget from birdyi's port and MyEmail from B512 added in
Fixed proximity sensor dying if the light sensor was on, too.
Stripped down enhanced.conf - only swappiness, VSync and ZRAM settings available. I don't like /system/log.txt being created every time my phone boots and I think using a tool in Android like, say, No-frills CPU Control is the better place to set the frequency. SetXperia has support for setting the phone's CPU voltage.
More languages selectable from the Setup Wizard than just English (US) and Chinese.
Flash Player removed for copyright reasons. You can install it from the Market
Notepad and Richpad removed
Droid Sans Fallback supports more character ranges
Toolbox correctly has "Wi-Fi" instead of "WLAN"
Misc. kernel modules, like in B512, included
But I like the BusyBox tools and want to use them without having to prefix BusyBox everytime!
Just run the bash shell; BusyBox versions of cat, chmod, chown, df, insmod, ln, lsmod, mkdir, mount, mv, rm, rmdir, rmmod, umount, sleep, kill, and ifconfig will become the default while you’re using the bash shell (also nicer, BTW: you get tab-completion, for one) thanks to the CyanogenMod team.
Attempts to remove Carrier IQ. Huawei *do* include Carrier IQ in their firmware.
I’ve done the following to attempt to remove it the best I can:
Edited boot.img to not start Carrier IQ services
Removed Carrier IQ libraries from /system/lib and CiQ binaries from /system/bin
Added lines to build.prop to disable CarrierIQ, taken from the framework.jar file itself.
birdyi has also modified framework.jar to stop the CarrierIQ objects from being instantiated.
Ideally the best way to be Huawei-free is to use CyanogenMod.
I've removed the Cloud+ apps because of this. I've left some Huawei apps in, but I strongly recommend you install PDroid (the patcher works fine with this ROM) and block the more concerning permissions of Huawei system apps.
Kernel changes
Since the kernel genokolar provided with his port had a problem when a program used the light and proximity sensor at the same time – the proximity sensor would die out until the next restart – I took it upon myself to rebuild the kernel available from his github repository with the config from his latest kernel. After comparing his kernel to the source Huawei put out, I could see no code changes that would cause the proximity sensor to die out. Since I was rebuilding the kernel, I thought I’d make a few changes:
Add in the Lazy CPU governor by Ezekeel
Update a patch by stockwell to disable keypad lights (echo 1 > /sys/module/leds_msm_pmic/parameters/disable_button_leds) - use ButtonLock to control
Reverse genokolar’s decision to always allow NV logging – this can be turned on and off from the service menu on a stock ROM anyway…
Set minimum backlight level to 15, from Franco’s kernel. Warning: I haven’t tried setting it to 15 so I don’t know if that value renders the display practically useless, and I don’t know if Android lets you set it to 15 from its settings!
ButtonLock
Not as revolutionary as I'd like it to be, but useful nevertheless. I've written a quick widget, which looks like the Power Saving one, that turns off the button backlight. Useful for when you're reading books through FBReader.
You need to be using my kernel as it has the disable_button_leds patch. The advantage the disable_button_leds patch has over the chmod 444 method is that it doesn't introduce noticable lag. The widget's source is in the same folder.
When pressing the widget's button for the first time, there is a delay as the Superuser allow/deny dialog box takes its time to come up. After accepting, future launches are instantaneous.
If you need something that this ROM doesn’t provide compared to other stock ROMs, I recommend:
Not using it; or
Using a combination of diff, abootimg, Winmerge (or Beyond Compare) and apktool to compare this with genokolar’s original release, and with birdyi's ROM, and add what you want back in
Installation
Note: You must be running firmware version B522 on your device! If you have B540, you need to downgrade. If you have a firmware version lower than B522 (Froyo?), you must upgrade to B522 first. If you're already running a custom ROM, ignore this.
Take out the SIM card if you want the setup wizard to use Wi-Fi during setup.
Install genokolar’s recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343276
Place u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip on the internal memory card or an external one (I recommend the internal one to ensure you don’t run into U8800Pro CWM bugs with the external).
Get gapps for Gingerbread and place on your memory card. Find the link using every Android user’s favourite search engine.
I highly recommend using PDroid, but it’s up to you whether you want to use it. If you would like to use it, get the patcher from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056 and point it to u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip. Place the PDroid-v1.27-u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip file onto your memory card.
Boot into recovery (make sure that fast boot is turned off in Settings->Applications and hold power and volume up while turning the phone on)
Do a data/factory reset.
Install the ZIPs, starting with u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip (obviously).
Reboot!
Install the Google apps (those ones not included in CM's gapps ZIP like YouTube) if desired when prompted – but note that the Market will probably close as you’re doing this as it will automatically update itself.

ill try it this evening I hope it fixes missed calls....
I have B512 official gingerbread, am I good to go?
Too times was a situation, when phone lost connection with wi-fi spot, he see the network, but can't connect. Help reboot.. else working so far without problems, testing..

turned off the wi-fi and got the main bug - does not work 3g/2g data transfer, hmm....

Are your APNs set correctly? In my case 2G works and I've had HSDPA working because when testing the Weather Clock widget (from B522, when I had it in) it would connect using it - I could see the icon in the status bar - and I had the pleasure of having my balance run down each time - I'm not a rich man
Edit: In build.prop, you can try playing with ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=3 - genokolar had it set to 2, but I changed it back to 3 from the U8800Pro original ROM because I wouldn't be able to connect to my network otherwise.
Hopefully, it's not the case but it could be hardware differences. genokolar, who's work this is based on, being from China, probably has a Unicom U8800Pro, just like I do...
@Zaic
B512? This is for the U8800Pro. I'd advise you not to flash it. I'd recommend using birdyi's ROM. If you're after a certain improvement from this ROM, tell me and I'll try and isolate it for you (as long as it doesn't involve kernel stuff - I don't know how to build U8800 kernels) so that you can use with birdyi's ROM
I have u8800 pro - 100%
My ROM is original unrooted 2.3.5 B512 its one before the latest release which is B540
My ROM still has access to pink screen, otherwise its the same as B540 I guess
SO what should I do first to install this ROM? roll back to 2.2.2 or was it 2.2.3?
Ah, if you're running 2.3.5 already and in the pink screen mode you see a folder called image when connecting your phone to the computer you're ready to go
Hi!
My compliments for the porting of Android 2.3.6 to U8800Pro!
I am using your rom since yesterday and still now I am not having any kind of problems.
Anyway I notice the same bug of the B512 and B540 roms: put your smartphone on screenoff, then wait about 1 minute and fastly unlock the screen and try to pinch to zoom on the home. Sometimes the multitouch doesn't work on every position of your fingers, it only works correctly if your fingers are in the position of principal axes.
Please try to reproduce this bug.
I am using LauncherPro but this bug is indipendent by the launcher (for example I tried also Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher EX, etc etc).
I hope you can solve this bug, maybe kernel-related.

kalo86

Thanks; it's nice to know that it's working OK on somebody else's device other than mine.

Sorry for asking, but how do you pinch to zoom on the home screen? I'm using Go Launcher Ex and I know that that has the swipe up gesture but I can activate that with one finger, anyway.
In any case, have you applied the Synaptics touchscreen update? For me it has increased the touchscreen performance greatly. I had one problem that when after unlocking, the touchscreen wouldn't respond unless I turned the screen off and tried again. The update solved that.
If you want to try it, open the service menu (*#*#2846579#*#*), go to ProjectMenu->Upgrade->Touch screen version query and see if it says "synaptics". If so, put the original Huawei recovery.img back on and put the synaptics.img file in a folder called update on your SD card. Use the recovery's "touchscreen firmware update" update option and it will automatically reboot when it's done.
Best regards,

Oh, really thank you for this "news" about the synaptics touchscreen update!
I have a synaptics too, then I am going to update the firmware.
Another bug, still present in B512, B540, Cyanogen and U8860 port: unplug your battery from the smartphone, insert it again, power on, then open your file manager and try to read the sdcard content. At 99% my sdcard is not read, then I have to reboot my U8800Pro and magically the sdcard is read.
Thanks to You and Genokolar for our development!
Regards,
kalo86
UPDATE: I updated the synaptics touchpanel but I have always the bug of multitouch. It is reproducible when you unlock the screen after a pause of 1 minute (about), then you open the stock browser and try to zoom with the multitouch. It works only if your fingers are on the principal axes and not in other positions. I have this bug on 4 different U8800 Pro! It cannot be a singular problem.
So, I have tried a lot of roms, based on B512, B540, U8860, CyanogenMod 7.1, I am sure I will try this bug on the next release because it's mabe a kernel bug due to the multitouch field.
Video demonstration
This is a video which I just uploaded on YouTube with the real multitouch bug.
This bug is in 4 different U8800 Pro.

I really can't reproduce this. I pulled out the battery while it was on, put it back in and started File manager (the one included with Huawei ROMs) and the internal SD card along with my external one were seen fine.

Thanks for the video! Unfortunately I don't know how this can be fixed - I'm not a developer! It was only yesterday I tried looking in the driver to see how I can enable more than two finger recognition but I'm not seeing it...

Sorry for disturbing you, but I have a question: do you have the same bug of the multitouch after the lock-screen?
This is a second video about the same problem:

OXI Rom (CM 13 Based Rom) Turn your Nexus 5x in computer

Hi ! Gentlemen
I found this rom by chance on one of my favorite websites. I wanted to share that with you.
Hello everyone!
For those who think that their smartphone is already a computer, our small team proposes to use your smartphone as the central unit of any screen: monitor, TV or video projector
Like MS Windows Continuum but better
We are developing a new window manager for Android for a new user experience. You can now use multitasking / multi-windows, resizing, folders and shortcuts on the desktop. You will find a "start" menu, application dock, notifications management, etc.
You can display this interface directly on the screen of your phone / tablet but the most interesting is to use it on a second screen connected with or wireless (respectively MHL / DisplayPort / DisplayLink or Miracast or even Chromecast).
The cherry on the cake, you keep the use of your smartphone since we dissociate the displays of the 2 screens and their uses.
Our code is based on CyanogenMod 13.0. We will shortly pass our development branches on LineageOS 14.1. The goal is to maximize compatibility based on this distribution.
After installation you will find 4 pre-installed applications:
OXI: Launches OXI on the main screen of the device
OXI Remote: Launches OXI on the secondary screen (Android must already be connected to another screen in "mirror" mode, in MHL, DisplayPort, Miracast ...)
We strongly recommend using a Microsoft Wireless Display v2 (available on Amazon, FNAC, etc.) or ActionTech branded adapter, which is fully compatible with OXI and eliminates mouse latency. Feel free to try with your material and give us your feedback.
OXI Control: A small utility if you do not have a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. Two modes are possible, "Keypad" mode is a simple touchpad and keyboard on the phone, "pad" mode allows to play games requiring tactile use
In some cases, mainly on televisions, the image may not be fully displayed and trimmed. Adjust using this utility until you see the red rectangle around the blue

Installation​
If your smartphone is already on CyanogenMod13, you will be able to install the OXI ROM without having to reset your smartphone, just install the zip file "on top". If you have a problem with Google Apps, reinstall them via Open GApps immediately after installing OXI.
OXI installs itself as CyanogenMod 13. If you have another favorite tutorial, do not hesitate to follow it, the procedure being similar to all phones.
If you have not already done so, you need a phone with TWRP or another custom recovery to install zip files. To do this, you will have to unlock the bootloader (with consequences on what it implies), flasher via fastboot or another proprietary tool (Odin, spflashtool ...) to set up the recovery custom partition.
Once in recovery, enjoy to backup your system partitions (including EFS).
Perform a complete wipe the phone (you can try if you are on a CM13 compatible rom to not perform wipe)
Install OXI via adb sideload or by dropping and selecting the .zip file.
If necessary, install the Google apps in the same way (download the corresponding .zip from http://opengapps.org/, select Android 6.0.
Restart the phone and you should be ready to test OXI
For more details I invite you to follow for example this tutorial​Important! Instead of applying root, apply OXI and then Google Apps via OpenGApps

Seems nice, but instead of repeating and saying basic things like "You need to install TWRP first" or "Don't forget to backup" you could introduce the project to us.
I don't know French, thus I have absolutely no idea what is this about. Few of my questions:
1. What is that? Given you wrote "Turn your Nexus 5x in computer", I suppose it's smth like Continuum. But there's not enough details.
2. How does it work? AFAIK Nexus 5X's USB Type-C port doesn't support HDMI out.
3. Which vendor to use with it?
4. Which build of CM13?
5. Is it standalone/different OS, or just skin/modification for CM13 to work better on larger screens?
6. Is there difference between this and app Taskbar combined with Nougat (Freeform mode)?

Don't get me wrong, I just wanted you to put all the functions, screens etc. together. It's easy to just link to the other website, but less effective than describing it
Btw. I guess I'll try it, but first I'll buy the adapter.

Hi everyone! Lead dev here!
I'm really surprised and happy to see that our work traveled to XDA without me posting it Thank you renaf2, no problem to share it here.
I'm not able to write a long message tonight (Murphy's Law, I'm in the country side with low network and no physical keyboard) but don't worry I'm gonna be more present here next week.
First of all I know there is a quite huge bug (and my fault sorry!) with Google Apps in this version. I'm gonna publish a new version around Monday or Tuesday.
Beth15, to answer shortly:
1. (This is the long to answer question! I guess Renaf2 clarifications are really helpful but we have so much more to tell!)
2. With nexus 5x we tried DisplayLink (wired), Chromecast (working but not optimal for latency), Miracast (with Microsoft adapters) and what I call "local mode" (directly on the smartphone screen).
3/4. That's a good question... My focus is more on OXI itself than the system so I can't tell from memory which build is used (I would say MOB31K for the build and last rebase from cm repositories was from early December)
Btw thanks Renaf2 for the clarification on the vendor versions. I will be more precise (including in the French topics) next time, I promise
5. It's a modified Android system working with the OXI app. We don't want to disrupt the "classic" Android behavior and we are really in a "adding something missing" than "transforming it" state of mind. Not just screen display tweaking also.
6. It's different for multiple reasons: remote display, session conservation, no requirement for apps developers, enhanced latency in wireless, better window management... And we're working on a lot of other features
I will write more soon!
If you have any question feel free to ask, I'll be glad to answer!

Love the idea but the UI looks awful, i don't dig it, not one bit... I like the idea that you want to bring this to other devices, because so far the only ones that have this feature are all lumias, samsung s8 and the new huawei. I offer to help with the UI, to make it prettier.

Whaddup, XDA? ^_^
This began as a modest little post, aptly named Post#3333 in the Resurrection Remix thread to help keeping the thread clean. Many thanks to @varund7726 for his support and making it the official RR Bacon FAQ!
It gained more attention than I thought it would so I decided to make a more general version in a dedicated thread.
This is not my work but a collection of answers by amazing people that roam these digital lands. Of course, I do appreciate you clicking that Thank you button . I hope people looking for answers will find their way here. If someone has any input, feel free to drop it in the thread or send me a PM and I'll update the post if needed. It may be best to not ask new questions here, you'll find more satisfying answers in the appropriate threads of the custom ROM you're using or in the general Help thread.
Now, let's get this out of the way first:
Code:
What are you reading this for? There isn't a single Bacon owner with valid warranty anymore. Anyway, here's the original disclaimer:
You have the [U]right[/U] to unlock your device, not the [U]obligation[/U] to do so.
Anything you flash can and will be used against you in a court of technical dispute.
If you get your device bricked, you will [B]not[/B] be provided with a new one.
If your mother in law disappears as a result of something mentioned in this thread,
I will happily take your donations to thank me but I will not be held responsible!
Mind that this is – and probably will continue to be – a work in progress.
This is an attempt to collect general solutions, which will not always work in every case.
Please DO NOT QUOTE THIS ENTIRE POST! Thanks.

1. GENERAL
1.a. How can this FAQ help me? Why did you make this?
My goal is to maintain a one-size-fits-all thread where people can find answers to the most common current problems for the OnePlus One a.k.a. Bacon. It also serves as a detailed guide through the flashing process. The reason I'm doing this is threefold: 1) Despite the fact that this is a 2014 device, the 1+1 community is still booming. Best proof of that is that our very own Bacon is by far the most popular device for LineageOS with currently over 80,000 installs! I'd love to honor that fact. 2) This is my first support thread, I hope to learn a great deal from it. 3) I honestly enjoy helping people =)
1.b. Why isn’t anyone helping me?
Keep in mind that XDA is not your personal tech support. The idea is that we help each other as a community, not to expect an immediate answer to your problem. If you do not add any useful technical information to your query, your post may not be considered, this is even more so the case in development threads.
There are three ways (that can be combined) to achieve a technically sound post:
Attach a logcat! See 1.c. on how to do this.
Provide screenshots, especially handy with aesthetic issues.
Provide the exact steps to reproduce the problem (be VERY specific).
Tip: use the time that you’re waiting for an answer to find it yourself. If you managed to resolve it yourself, follow-up on your own post and explain how you did it, it may be helpful to other users in the future.
1.c. Creating a logcat
This'll only take a minute and may provide invaluable information for any developer or someone trying to help. There are a number of ways to create them, this tutorial explains a remote technique. I do believe this is the easiest way:
Download CatLog from the Play Store
Make sure you have a dedicated 'menu' button (CatLog is old skool)
Run the app, give it root rights, [optional] pause the current flow with the pause button and then clear the window tapping the circle with the X in the middle top right (this will provide peace of mind, the constant stream can be a bit overwhelming)
Tap the menu button, press Record followed by OK. Any activity is now being recorded
Press your home key and launch the app that's giving you trouble, let the crash happen and repeat it a few times
Drag down notifications and tap the cat, it'll state "select to stop recording"
CatLog will now show you what it has recorded, use the search feature to check if no privacy sensitive information (your e-mail, a phone number etc.) has been collected, you can edit this out manually with a text editor if needed
You can simply tap the menu key again and select Send to share the log, this feature will also add device info (brand, model, Android version ...)
If you'd like to share it manually or want to make some edits first, you'll find the file in [internal storage]/catlog/saved_logs
2. PREPARING
2.a. EXT4 vs. F2FS
A lot can be said about filesystems but I won't go into any technical debates on here. The main difference boils down to this:
F2FS is arguably faster than EXT4; EXT4 is arguably more stable than F2FS.
In real use performance, not much difference will be noticed in terms of speed. Since the release of Oreo for Bacon, however, stability on F2FS has decreased drastically or it is unsupported entirely. If you have never changed this yourself, the system will most likely be formatted to EXT4. You can check with DiskInfo or in recovery. In case you want to run Nougat on F2FS or you want to return to EXT4 but forgot how, here's a refresher:
In recovery, go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select a single partition
Tap “Repair or Change File System” (if you see “Invalid partition selection” appearing, it means the partition’s file system cannot be changed
On top you can see the current file system, tap “Change File System” followed by the one you want (stick to either EXT4 or F2FS)
Swipe to confirm
I found this XDA article (interview with Francisco Franco) quite interesting on this topic.
2.b. What else do I need? (Prerequisites)
A good working TWRP
The ROM zip of your choosing
Gapps (ARM/8.1/nano, there are plenty alternatives, check with your ROM maker which one is advised)
last CM13 snapshot (only if you didn't have CM13 before)
You should place all downloaded files in the root of your internal storage (/sdcard). It's stongly recommended to check md5 hashes! In case of Gapps, download the md5 checksum file and place it together with the zip.
2.c. C6 or C7, which is the best firmware? (troubleshooting network issues)
None. There are mixed results on both, depending on which network(s) you use. Which one works best for you? The only way to find out is by flashing one of the three versions below (that differs from your current version, check under About phone > Baseband version. The recommended one for most users is C6-00241 (the most likely one you currently have).
Here are three very common firmwares and a Frankenstein release:
Download DI.3.0.c6-00241
Download 4.0.1.c7-00013 (2016)
Download 4.0.1.c7-00011 (2016)
@MrSHME's Frankenstein Release
[instructions and credits]
There's a whole load of them available in this thread. I've done some elaborated testing there, read my findings here.
Important note when flashing firmware: backup your modem and EFS partitions first! It may happen that the system hangs in boot animation after a firmware flash (I experienced this a few times). Give it some time and it should automatically boot back to recovery. In recovery, reboot back to system (don't do any wiping or anything) and it should boot just fine. If the system keeps hanging for over 20 minutes, manually force a shutdown (long press power) and try booting regularly again. Still no luck? Boot to recovery and flash other firmware or restore your modem backup.
2.d. What kernel should I use?
You don't have to use any. Want to take the plunge anyway? Sure, check out post #3 for a list. You can make a backup of your kernel/blobs with Flashify
Read (much much) more about tweaking in this excellent guide by @Saber
3. FLASHING
Always make a nandroid backup before you flash anything!
3.a. Installing TWRP
Before flashing anything, make sure you are using a compatible TWRP! You'll find a download link to the one I'm using in this FAQ, I'll keep it updated. I know this is basic information but to avoid any mistakes, I'm providing all needed steps:
Download a TWRP .img file
Move it to the adb (official download) folder where adb and fastboot exe's are located
[this is no requirement but let's do this for the clarity of these steps] rename it to recovery.img
Reboot device into fastboot via advanced reboot menu, 'adb reboot bootloader' command or – if the device is off – press and hold "Power + Volume UP" until "Fastboot Mode" appears
Setup the correct drivers and connect the device to the PC/Mac
Open a command line (terminal on Mac I guess) in the adb folder
type "fastboot devices" to see if the system picks up the device
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash TWRP
Disconnect the device from the PC
Press and hold power until the device turns off
Hold "Power + Volume DOWN" to boot into the newly flashed TWRP recovery
3.b. How to flash
Always make a nandroid backup before you flash anything!
Clean Flash:
In TWRP, wipe by swiping factory settings. If you're experiencing issues, it's best to do a full wipe (Advanced > select System + Data + Cache + Dalvik-ART Cache)
[optional] Flash last CM13 snapshot and do another full wipe. This step is crucial when you've never been on CM13 before. This flash will fix/prevent a wide variety of issues! You only need to do this once.
Flash the ROM zip
[optional] Flash a custom kernel
Flash Gapps (ARM/nano, version should be the same as ROM), check Gapps compatibility in ROM thread.
[optional] If root is desired, flash Magisk (stable or beta)
[optional] Flash other mods
Wipe Cache/Dalvik-ART Cache and reboot
Dirty Flash (update):
Reboot to TWRP
Flash the ROM zip
Wipe Cache/Dalvik-ART Cache and reboot
Semi-Dirty Flash:
This is basically the clean flash procedure but you backup the /data partition before wiping and restore it afterwards (or don't wipe /data at all). I do not recommend this method.
Example (my flashing procedure for a specific Oreo ROM):
Download ROM and Open Gapps to root. Check ROM md5 hash with MiXplorer
Backup all user apps + a few system elements (messages, call logs etc.) with TitaniumBackup (+pro key)
Copy the TitaniumBackup folder to my PC
Reboot to latest TWRP, create Nandroid backup of System and Data (sometimes copy that one to PC as well)
Wipe /system + /data + /cache + /art-dalvik cache
Flash ROM + Gapps + OP5 camera mod + iYTBP + Magisk beta (all in one go), wipe caches after flashing and reboot
I let Google setup install all apps, then restore app data with TiBu, this feels more clean
Restore system elements with TiBu + apply AdAway lists + restore Android ID (for my banking app) and reboot
Enjoy awesomeness!
This seems like a lot of work but it doesn't take more than an hour. Since releases are currently pretty far apart, it's only a small effort for many days of smooth sailing. If release frequency would increase, I wouldn't make a Nandroid and wouldn't copy everything to PC every single time. If I don't have Wi-Fi for some reason, I restore all apps + data with TiBu instead of using Google setup.
3.c. I'm seeing two red errors in TWRP while flashing
They are LOS related and have no effect on the flash procedure, don't worry about it, you can safely ignore them.
3.d. I'm getting an error while flashing Gapps
Error 70: You're trying to flash a package that is too large such as Stock. Try a smaller package.
Error 64: Wrong architecture, you need an ARM package, not ARM64/x86/x86_64.
Error 20: Wrong version, you need 6.x for Marshmallow, 7.x for Nougat
3.d. I dirty flashed and something doesn't work anymore
Please do not inquire about issues after (semi-)dirty flashing. The first step for you to take is to perform a clean flash. If the issue is still present and it hasn't been posted before (PLEASE use search!), then post your inquiry in the ROM thread.
4. CRITICAL
4.a. My screen is going black, I can only see notifications
This behavior is caused when a profile has lock screen disabled. The only way to recover from this condition is to clean flash, or restore a backup that was made prior to setting up the profile. It may be possible to reboot successfully if one is in a location or situation that triggers a profile that doesn't have lock screen disabled, then change the problem profile settings (unconfirmed).
4.b. My device just exploded!
It's most likely unrelated to a software problem but please, feel free to share pictures!
4.c. The other person (nearly) can't hear me during a call
Can't be heard
In /system/build.prop, change
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
to
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none
Edit /system/etc/audio_platform_info.xml (in Oreo this file moved to /system/vendor/etc)
<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="40" />
to
<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="4" />
Audio comes out low
remove
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
change
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
(flashable version)
Reboot.
Still having problems? Test your sensors and mic more thoroughly with an app like this, there may be a hardware failure. Before opening her up, you can do a last software check by trying another ROM or by returning to 100% stock.
4.d. I have another audio/microphone problem
Please refer to the OnePlus One Audio Mods Collection, a genious collection of all sorts of fixes and workarounds to achieve fully featured audio on the OPO.
4.e. Can't read or write to internal storage (/sdcard)
Your /sdcard partition is most likely corrupt! Now what? When this happens to /system or /data we can simply perform a clean flash. Wiping our internal storage, however, means wiping a lot of precious data that is not included in a Nandroid backup so it's crucial to make regular backups manually. A lot of trouble can be avoided with cloud syncing (Dropbox, Google Photos, etc.). When read/write errors present themselves (camera can't save photos, not enough space errors while there's plenty, folders disappear, etc.) it's important to work fast before all your data becomes unavailable indefinitely. Here's how you can reset your internal storage in a non-destructive manner:
Copy the entire content of your internal storage (/sdcard) to an external location (PC or OTG drive). Make sure the real important things are immortalized (e.g. your cat photos/videos are synced with Google Photos and/or are trending on YouTube)!
Reboot to TWRP
You may want to create a nandroid backup at this point but do not forget to copy the backup to your PC or make the backup via OTG as we're about to wipe the internal storage (and with it, all internal backups)
Go to Wipe > Advanced and select only Internal storage, confirm to wipe (you may experience some discomfort at this point, this is normal)
Reboot to TWRP (from recovery to recovery, that's right)
Now copy all content back from the folder on your computer to the internal storage. You should be able to do this simply over USB while TWRP is active. If you don't, go to the main TWRP menu, tap 'Mount' followed by 'Enable MTP'
When the copy is complete, reboot to System and your trouble should be gone!
We're doing the wipe AND the restore inside recovery because if you would boot your device with an empty /sdcard partition, the Android system and all running apps would start freaking out and get going on all sorts of crazy, recreating their folders and files.
Tip: this is the perfect opportunity to sieve through those files! I recommend not just copying everything back but only the things you still need. Exclude folders of apps that aren't installed anymore and skip unused media files. This will decrease the chance of future corruption. Take some time to make your internal storage shipshape!
5. QUICK FIXES
5.a. The camera app can't connect to the camera
If you flashed something like OxygenOS Blobs, your camera will not work unless you set SELinux to Permissive. You should find this in your ROM settings (e.g. for RR this is under Settings > Configurations > Miscellaneous > Selinux mode > Permissive) or you can easily do this with SELinuxModeChanger.
Why this is a bad idea: SELinux or Security Enhanced Linux prevents malicious apps from gaining unlimited system level access by exploiting security holes. By setting it to Permissive, you’re disabling this extra layer of security. Infections due to this are rare but do happen, you’ve been informed.
5.b. Google Assistant isn't working or "OK Google" detection fails (this may be obsolete by now, please notify me if it is)
See 4.c., “Audio comes out low”.
5.c. QS toggle 'drops' when trying to add it
This may happen when attempting to add one of the lower QS toggles. There are two ways to work around this bug:
By lowering the display size: go to Settings > Accessibility > Display size (or under custom ROM configurations) and change it to Smaller or Smallest
By messing around: move icons from the top to the QS panel until you're able to slide the QS toggle you need without 'dropping' it
This video shows it works fine:
6. OTHER
6.a. How do I apply themes and which ones can I use?
OMS compatible ROMs only! To start, install Substratum from the Play Store, open it and grant it root rights (both substratum and masquerade). Then search the Play Store for substratum themes that are compatible with your Android version. Some will cost you something but most are really worth it and there are some great free ones as well. After installing a theme, apply it in Substratum. Don't forget to read the theme creator's instructions, some combinations can cause trouble!
6.b. Fast/Quick Charge isn't working
That's because the OnePlus One doesn't support it. You can, however, tweak charging rates with kernel tweaks (which is still limited, don't expect dash charge speeds). Equip yourself with proper hardware. A ‘smart’ charging station and quality cables can go a long way. Mind that faster charging is not better charging per se. You may shorten the lifespan of your battery when pushing it to the limits. Charging with the official charger/cable (which should take about 2 hours from 0 to 100%) is still the best way to treat your battery. Also note that if you got your device back in 2014, there's a good chance your battery doesn't have its full capacity anymore, longer charge rates and shorter lifespans can be expected. That being said, the OPO was equipped with a kickass quality battery, even after abusing it for all these years, many users have reported it still works great!
7. MODS
7.a. ViPER4Android
Since Magisk is more widely adopted, installing V4A has become very easy.
In Magisk Manager, tap the three lines top left
Tap Downloads
Scroll down to ViPER4Android FX and tap the download icon
Tap Install followed by Reboot
Once booted, go into Magisk > Downloads again
ViPER will now be on top, tap it
You'll find a link to the latest APK, download and install it
That's it. Open it and change all the settings you want, then reboot once more to make sure it all runs fine.
7.b. Camera mods
The OnePlus 5 camera software has been ported (download here) to Bacon and it works great, this is my current favourite.
Great camera mod: CameraNextModV2. It's just a simple flash away.
Not much of a mod but a Camera app optimized for our OPO: Bacon Camera!.
And good to know: Google Camera 4.1.006.135988111 is the last compatible version for Bacon.

2018-08-23
Howdy! I've been away (or at least very inactive) for a few weeks due to family vacation and other stuff – including two quite tragic events. That's life I guess
Anyway, interesting development seems to be never ending for this amazing device. The immortality of Bacon has yet again been confirmed with the release of PIE! This was predicted by my teenage antiheroes "Weebl and Bob" back in 2002; they are true visionaries :')
That's not one (KitKat), not two (Lollipop), not three (Marshmallow), not four (Nougat), not five (Oreo) but SIX (PIE!) major Android iterations that have seen light on this chunck of awesomeness. At this rate we might even see Android Queijadinha on the OPO! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's celebrate and enjoy Pie's release first. Time to take a P (Captain Underpants, anyone?). Tra-la-laaa!
Created "PIE!!!!!" section
Added POSP to both Oreo and Pie sections
Added PixysOS
Updated Oreo titles.
2018-05-25
Added Cosmic-OS
Updated all ROM Index Oreo titles

I am planning on a clean flash soon and often refer to your guide as the best source. After all it is titled "The Ultimate OnePlus Guide", so it must be true.
May I request that you begin updating posts #1-#4 to include Oreo? I find the tips you posted here (link) helpful.

Welcome to the NitrogenOS Q&A Megathread. Here you can find answers for the most popular problems and questions about NitrogenOS. I started this thread, so that new users don't repeatedly ask the same questions multiple times. While I am fairly new to coding in Java, I can definitely say I know a lot about Android phones and NitrogenOS, but you'll have to trust me on that. If you need any more help, you can even PM me and I'll try to reply as soon as I can.
You can find the original NitrogenOS thread here.
ROM info
Developer: xyyx
Latest Android version: 8.1 Oreo
NOS Download (latest): https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/kenzo/kenzo_test/8.1/
Bugs and updates
- A (very) small amount of users reported Google Dialer not working properly while installed through OpenGapps or the Play Store, you can still use stock dialer
1. Test or stable?!?!
Test in this case doesn't mean less stable. xyyx named the two versions a little confusingly.
Test means Oreo (Android 8.0 and 8.1) and Stable means Nougat (Android 7.1.2).
So let's make this a little less confusing:
Oreo (8.0) builds -> Download from here
Oreo (8.1) builds -> Download from here
Nougat (7.1.2) builds -> Download from here
2. Youtube PiP (Picture in Picture mode)
Google has patched PiP a long time ago, so it doesn't work with the latest Youtube releases. The last official release working with PiP is 12.34.55, which you can download from ApkMirror.
My preferred option however is iYTBP (injected YouTube Background Playback), a modified version of Youtube, but it gets a little confusing as there are multiple options.
You can download it from this thread.
Now the tricky part - choosing the right version. I always prefer the Vanced version, which can be found in the 2nd post. Again you have multiple options, but I will not go through all of them since they are explained pretty good in the post itself. While iYTBP enables PiP, it also blocks ads and adds a lot of useful settings and new updates come very frequently. There are multiple installation methods, but I prefer the Magisk one, since it offers options like detaching the Youtube app from Play Store. What this means is, that you don't have to disable auto-updates and it will not bug you to constantly update it.
You can try these methods:
Magisk Module (Easiest):
1. Open Magisk Manager
2. Go to Downloads
3. In the search bar type "Youtube", you should see two results
4. Choose either the normal or the black theme (I personally prefer the black one)
5. Press the download arrow and then "Install"
6. Wait for a while (it's a big package to download and unpack)
7. Reboot
This is by far the easiest option and the module is updated fairly often.
Manual:
1. Delete or uninstall any previous release of Youtube. If you installed it as a system app, disable it or delete the /system/app/YouTube folder. If you had to delete the folder, reboot.
2. Download the Youtube apk
3. Make a folder called YouTube (watch the caps!)
4. Move the apk to this folder and rename it as YouTube (again with the caps)
5. Copy/move the folder to /system/app (The directory should look like this: /system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk)
6. Reboot
Magisk (manual):
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. Since we're installing from Magisk, you'll need to set MAGINSTALL to YES (MAGINSTALL="YES"). I usually also enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Open Magisk Manager, go to Modules and press the + button. Now select the universal installer zip and flash it in Magisk.
4. Reboot
Recovery method:
Same as for Magisk, but MAGINSTALL is set to NO (MAGINSTALL="NO"). In case you didn't read the Magisk method, here is the recovery method...
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. I usually enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Reboot to recovery, go to Install and choose the universal installer zip, flash it.
4. Reboot
If you open a video in fullscreen mode and press the home button, it should open it in PiP mode. If you want to change some advanced settings, you can go to your Account (the round icon with your profile picture) -> Settings -> iYTBP Settings
3. Goodix & FPC - What are they
Goodix and FPC are two different types of fingerprint sensors (or rather sensor manufacturers). They both work in Android 8.1 builds. Custom kernels or mods may break the fingerprint sensor functionality.
4. Rooting
tl;dr: rooting NitrogenOS is the same as rooting any other custom rom, just flash Magisk, SuperSU, phh's superuser or anything else.
Now for the extended version.
Magisk:
Magisk is a great open-source root manager, developed by topjohnwu. It features a feature rich app, but most people prefer it because of it's "modules", packages which can do a bunch of things, from installing apps like Viper4AndroidFX or Dolby Atmos, to modifying system settings, like the volume steps increase. Magisk also features an option called "Magisk Hide", which can bypass Android's SafetyNet.
Check out the Magisk thread.
You can directly download the latest version of Magisk from https://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
SuperSU:
SuperSU is an alternative root manager. It used to be developed by Chainfire, but has recently been purchased by another company. I still prefer Magisk, but SuperSU is a great alternative for new users. My problem with it though is, that it is not open-source and the new buyer is pretty secretive so I don't really trust them.
Check out the SuperSU website for the download link.
phh's SuperUser:
Another open-source root manager, but the great thing about this one is, that it's very minimalistic and very small in size.
Check out the SuperUser thread and phh's Build Bot.
5. Google Apps (gapps)
Google apps are a vital part of custom roms. You might not know this, but AOSP and CM based roms are made from Google source code. Google actually makes Android open-source, but the Play Store and other Google apps are not. That's why roms like NitrogenOS do not come with the Play Store preinstalled. That is where Open Gapps come in. They are prepackaged apps, updated almost daily. They come in various sizes and versions, but they can all be flashed in TWRP like a normal zip file.
Platform: arm/arm64/x86/x86_64 - RN3 has an arm64 processor (Think of it as a 64-bit CPU for phones)
Android: 8.0/7.1/7.0... - This is the android version, NOS is Oreo based so choose 8.0 (Or 7.1 for Nougat) [Check below for OpenGapps 8.1]
Variant: This is where it gets complicated. There are a LOT of versions to choose from. For more in-depth resources check the OpenGapps' package comparison.
But OpenGapps are a lot more customisable, to the level where you can choose individual apps you want installed. The easiest way to do this, is to flash the Aroma package, which enables you to choose exactly which packages you want installed. Another option is to configure any of the selected packages using a gapps-config.txt file. You can learn more about that in the Advanced Features and Options section.
You can download daily builds for any Android version from https://opengapps.org/
6. TWRP (Recovery)
A recovery is a partition, used to flash files like ROMs, gapps and any other modifications. You do (in most cases) need an unlocked bootloader to use it. Unlocking your bootloader will not be described on this thread, as there are a lot of resources for our device.
Official TWRP - This is the official TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) for our device
You can find the latest updates for TWRP on their website.
Red Wolf - This is a modified version of TWRP, my absolute favourite because of it's custom features.
Flashing TWRP:
If you don't have a custom recovery installed and you have unlocked your bootloader, then download the latest version of your preferred recovery and follow these steps:
1. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows, or use sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot if you're on Linux.
2. Enable USB Debugging (Settings -> About phone -> Press "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer options). You should find the Developer options in settings above "About Device". Find USB Debugging and enable it.
3. Connect your PC to the phone via a cable. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot (which will open CMD) or Terminal on Linux and type this (same for both OSs): adb devices. Select "Always allow on this computer" and confirm access on your phone.
4. Reboot your phone to fastboot/bootloader (By holding Power and Vol-, releasing the power button after a vibration and holding the Vol- button until you see the Xiaomi mascot).
5. Type (In CMD/Terminal): fastboot devices, to confirm if the phone has been recognised, then fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
6. After it has succesfully finished, remove the cable and reboot directly to recovery (Power and Vol+, release power after vibration, but keep holding the Vol+ button until you see the TWRP or RedWolf logo).
If you do already have a custom recovery installed and just want to update it, flash the .img or .zip file in your already installed recovery and select "Reboot to recovery".
7. NOS asks me for a password after flashing?!!?!?
This is actually not NitrogenOS's fault, it's a byproduct of your previous rom, most often MIUI. What this means is, that your internal storage is encrypted and the only way to fix this, is to backup everything on your internal storage, which you can do by connecting your phone to your pc while in recovery. You should be able to access the phone's storage and move the files from there. If you for some reason can't do that, you can still put in an sdcard and copy the files to it in TWRP. Bottom line, backup the files and then go to "Wipe" and find the "Format data" button. You might see a "wipe data" button, but this is not the same. When you "wipe data" you are wiping your system, cache, dalvik cache and data partitions, but formatting data will format your internal partition as well and thus remove the encryption.
You can finally reflash NOS and gapps or whatever other modification you want.
8. Firmwares
Check out this link to download the latest firmware for our device.
What is firmware? - It's what connects hardware to software (don't confuse it with a kernel). It's what, for example, makes the camera work.
Do I really need firmware - Yes (but it's already installed, even after completely wiping the stock rom, since it's on separate partitions).
Do I need the most up-to-date firmware - Actually no, the only difference you will notice is in the signal and WiFi strength. If yours are good enough, you don't need to update, otherwise feel free to download the newest version from the link above.
What is emmc_appsboot.mbn? - It's a bootloader update. Bootloader or fastboot is the partition in which you have unlocked your bootloader and flashed the recovery. If you have officially unlocked your bootloader, then you can flash firmware with emmc_appsboot.mbn, but if you have unofficially unlocked your bootloader, do not flash these files as they will re-lock it. But you can still flash the version without emmc_appsboot.mbn.
Kenzo? Kate? - Kate devices are the same as kenzo ones but are a little bigger.
Some comparisons:
Kenzo
Size: 150 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 164g
Kate
Size: 152 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 167g
Model numbers:
Kenzo: 2015116
Kate: 2015161
Kate devices are 32/3 GB, and some kenzo devices are as well (some are 16/2 GB), not really sure about this part.
Global stable or developer? - Most people use developer roms, but again, this is not the actual ROM, just the firmware extracted from the rom, it doesn't really matter which one you choose.
When do I need to flash firmware? - If you're coming from MIUI8 (or 9), then you probably have the newest firmware. In this case you don't need to flash it, because MIUI roms already have firmware included in the update. If you're coming from a CM or AOSP based rom you also probably don't have to flash it, but I suggest you update it just in case. If your signal is good enough though, there really is no need.
9. How to flash the rom
Flashing is pretty straight forward. Just go to the Install section of TWRP and flash it like any normal zip, nothing special.
If you're coming from MIUI, then the full procedure is this:
1. Unlock your bootloader (google it, useless explaining it here)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Make a full device backup (Nandroid backup)
4. Copy or move all important files from the internal storage to an sdcard or your pc
5. Format data, or in other words, wipe EVERYTHING (excluding external storage) - This will delete all your photos and anything else in internal storage
6. Flash the latest NOS "test" build (Oreo)
7. Flash gapps (I recommend opengapps.org, check above)
8. Reboot to system
10. OTA?
What is OTA? - OTA means Over The Air (Update)
Does NOS have OTA? - Actually yes and no, newer updates (from March 2018 on) do have partial OTA (it does check for updates and notify you, while also giving a direct download link to SourceForge, but you will have to manually flash every update in your recovery.
What about incremental updates? - Sorry, but no. You'll have to download full packages every time. If you have a bandwidth cap then just download an update every week or two, you can check the changelog to see if you think it's worth updating to.
11. Google Camera
If you're having problems with the official Google Camera or just want some added features then look no further than modded camera apps. Check out this thread by emime12, it's very frequently updated and features a lot of different camera mods, including Google Camera, MIUI Camera, MOTO Camera and many more.
Recommended settings:
3x3 Grid - For better photos
I usually disable "Save location" and "Camera sounds"
Model: Pixel XL (corr) - default
Config camera HDR+: NEXUS 6
HDR+ parameters: Default
Panorama resolution: High
Advanced: Enable both
Experimental: I usually leave this disabled but it's your choice.
Back camera video resolution: UHD 4K (30 fps)
In case your camera doesn't work check if you have these two files and delete them:
/System/framework/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
and
/System/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
Credits go to: @emime12 and Njaiker.
You can find more info about problems and updates on emime12's thread.
Settings may differ a lot, so check emime12's recommended or just test until you find ones that work for you
12. RAM Management - Low free RAM
Android's RAM (Read Only Memory) management doesn't work like Windows'. Android manages RAM very well, "Free RAM is wasted RAM" is a very common expression on XDA. Android loads the first couple of apps into the RAM and priorities the open one. More used ram means more apps loaded in ram which means faster load times. Don't worry about it too much and just enjoy the fast loading speeds.
13. VoLTE?
VoLTE should work on Android 8.1. Magisk, Viper or any other mods may break it.
14. Custom kernels
While there are a lot of custom kernels, I suggest you stick with the stock one, as it is made specifically for NOS and thus it is the most stable. If you still want a custom kernel, you can try Radon or Agni but they might break VoLTE or your fingerprint sensor.
Agni XDA Thread - By psndna88
Radon XDA Thread - By Umang96
15. Daily driver or not?
Yes, NitrogenOS Oreo is very stable, definitely enough for a daily driver. It is the best Oreo rom for our device (in my opinion), as it offers just the right amount of customization and stability.
15. GPS
Some users have reported low accuracy, but you should be fine if you turn on High Accuracy mode and/or install Faster GPS.
Update: In recent updates GPS shouldn't be a problem anymore as xyyx has fixed it, but some users have still reported low accuracy.
16. Viper4Android FX
(There may be other ways, but I haven't tested them yet so I can't confirm if they work) By far the easiest way to install Viper4Android FX is using Magisk. There is Magisk module called ViPER4Android FX Materialized. Download and install that module from the Magisk repo, choose your preferred installation option (By pressing Vol+ or Vol- to select which version you want installed and if you want it materialized - for newest materialized version press Vol+ 2 times) and finally reboot. Try playing some music and open the Viper app. Turn on the "Master Power" switch and the "Playback Gain Control" (the easiest way to tell if it worked). If after a little time the volume increases, it means that Viper4Android FX works. If not, press the three dots and choose "Exit" (without turning off the master power or gain control). Now open the app again and it should work. You can also check that in the side menu under "Driver status", if it's enabled and processing, then everything works.
You may or may not have to exit and re-enter the app after reboot to enable processing (in my case I had to).
I would show you my recommended settings (as requested), but to be honest I only use:
Headset
Viper Bass (Natural bass, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB)
Viper Clarity (Natural, 6 dB)
Sometimes I use Field surround with default settings
Phone speakers
eXtra loud (Slight, 4x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
Bluetooth device
Playback gain control (Moderate, 6x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
If I'm at a party with my bluetooth speaker I pump it up to Extreme and 8x max gain
Viper Bass (Natural, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB), 17 dB for parties
Viper Clarity (Natural, 3.5 dB)
I don't use equalizers or if I do, they are song-specific. I also don't USB/Dock, so I can't recommend anything there.
Of course these settings can vary depending on the song, so choose those, which you like the most and don't stick with just those I chose, try all the functions to see which you prefer.
17. AdAway (Root)
AdAway is a great open-source root ad blocker, which can automatically download and update sources and works by adding those to the hosts file. It work well on the internet, but also inside apps (most of the time).
Check out the official AdAway website. You can also download it from F-Droid.
Adaway v3.2 (60) (direct download link)
Adding custom host sources:
Go to "Host sources" and add your own sources or check out these: AdAway's host sources
Be careful when adding all of them, since some can block legitimate links like goo.gl.
AdAway also offers an option to scan for Adware, which can be found under "Scan for adware". This will bring up a new window, press "Start scanning". If you don't need/want the mentioned apps you can uninstall them, but AdAway can't block their ads.
You can also check out my recommended settings:
wow,really appreciated that sir., it is very helpful specially for those who wanted to try, flashing rom or any mods on their device like me. thanks and keep up the good work sir God bless!
i think i can add up little bit here.
1) u r on miui & u want to flash nitrogen so u go to recovery and backup ur current rom in case if u dont like nitrogen u can restore back to miui with all ur setting & app. now assume u r on nitrogen, after 4-5 days u dont like nitroge & u decided to come back to miui, so u go to recovery and restore yr backup that u have taken earlier. after success booting the screen with pin or password will appear. so u would enter/guess any previous password, pin u used earlier but it will not open. here the real problem come. i have also faced same issue & got upset searching endless solution on google . u will get mad on u. security bypass will also not work. after spending endless hour i come with solution. download aroma zip search on net. flash it through recovery this will help u to get in system its ike file manager. then head to data, system and delete all file u see below
locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal, gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key
and then restart, yr problem would be solve.
2) nitrogen os does not support video calling via jio. none custom rom other then then miui support.
3)xposed is not available for oreo.
4)i have used nitrogen oreo for about 2 weeks it is stable but not as miui. some time r net would not work, jio call drop, lagging u have to restart on every time u faced problem. i suggest that wait for some time to roll out nought port for kenzo with zero bug & this will happen soon.

Thanks for the tip, will update the thread.
@JustMeErazem volte on 2nd sim works well. I myself use it. After flashing magisk just v need to hide root from all system apps to make sure volte works flawless even after reboot. Plz edit it in the description. I hav been using nos since many time so with experience i am giving my feedback. Thanks?
@saifuk what kind of nougat port u are expecting of ?

@justmerazem Change VoLTE point again to previous. I installed NOS on mine & my other two friends' phone. They've not used magisk or superSU nor me. But VoLTE doesn't work on 2nd Sim for us.

Mate, I'm already on 7.9.22 firmware. Lots of people are reporting it. Yours is working, must be some kind of random.
@Aditya1011 Mate, what happened? No reply? Huh. Latest firmware. No magisk, no any kind of root. No sound mod. Still Volte not working on 2nd Sim on 3 different Kenzos.
@JustMeErazem Please include in your post that VoLTE is indeed buggy.
how to install via dualboot patcher as secondary rom?

I don't think dual boot patcher supports oreo roms. Try asking on their thread to see if it does.

It works for many users. Did you flash my zip or install an apk?
Sim card detection issue
Sometimes nitrogen os Oreo does not detect sim cards after reboot so I changed ROM and installed aosp extended. I know that Xyyx has already mentioned this as bug. Due to this bug it is not daily driver. Hope xyyx will fix this as soon as possible. If you have solution, please share it.

Dude, it's really not a big problem, it detects it like 95% of the time. Just reboot and you're done. Or wait about 2 min and it should detect it. You could also just remove the sim and reinsert it. But since the latest few updates for me it gets detected 100% of the time. So update to 28/10/2017 build and you should be fine.
@JustMeErazem You're giving flase info. to others saying that VoLTE works on both sim. Actually, it works only on first sim. Tried, tested on 3 different Kenzo's. Clean flashed.
Conclusion: VoLTE doesn't work on 2nd sim.
