Wake lock detector should be back next week.

Dev got back to me about the lack of an update.

Awesome, this app pretty much made my s3 bearable until I picked up the s6. Glad to know it's coming back, next we need xposed and I'll be happy

awesome news!

[Q] From OPO to S6 - worth the upgrade?

Thank you

S6 wont have AOSP support that's the only sh*t on this phone. :good: but if you dont care about that. go for it. it's worth it :good: Happy S6 user here.

I appreciate the response. Thank you.
When you say there's no AOSP support, does this mean no roms based on stock? I am a bit rusty with Android jargons.
So basically all roms are based on Samsung TouchWize?
Again - thanks

yep no stock android
all roms you see are customized stock touchwiz. but i dont care anymore. touchwiz is good already. it has all the things i need and easy to access.

Thanks!
Any clue if speed wise it can be as fast as the OPO? The OPO now is really fast.

Speed, the quality itself - changing from a "plastic" brick to aluminium is just a wow-feeling. I am OP doesn't make bad phones but when you change to something which is made by an company which exists already for so many years...samsung just makes the best phones in any way out there! I like touchwiz, the screen is awesome, best camera behind the s7, MM flys on the phone

That's great!! U actually got me excited. Will have mine with in a week or so. Do you have a recommended ROM (from your experience)?
Thanks!

[Q] abour S8+ Rom Edge lighting

Hey there!
So I'm running an s8+ Rom on my flat s7 and I've turned on edge lighting.
It works but the lighting is very small and thin.
My question now is if it's possible to get that lighting as full as the original one on the s7 edge.
I hope someone can help me
Cheers!

I'm using the Rom of sac23

Any roms being worked on?

Are there any roms being worked on? The XL has two so far. Hoping we get some.

They have two now? Wow I only saw the Lineage one, good to hear.
I'm wondering this as well, I imagine it shouldn't be that hard to port them over to our Walleye should anyone want to. After all, aren't they basically the same phone besides the bigger battery and different screen?
Anyway it's still early days yet, we just have to be patient.

Yup theres LOS and AOSP so far. Carbon and ABC are being worked on, also think DU, OMNI, AICP and SLIM but not 100% sure. After spending so much on a phone seeing development is a relief. The phone is amazing stock, but coming from N6 I do miss flashing a bit. Havent used the N6 since dec 5 but I still download all latest rom updates + TWRP etc. for the N6 to keep backed up for the future.

I'm impatiently waiting for the Carbon Ron. I had it on my HTC m8 and genuinely miss it.

I would be happy with anything at this point. I'm just shocked there isn't something at this point.
I haven't heard anything about any roms.

Looks like the XL now has 3 roms.

I know thats awesome just hope there will be a maintainer for them for the regular Pixel 2

Me too.

According to the maintainer of taimen for LineageOs there will be a mantainer. That's what he said in the post. But it's up to the maintainer to provide unofficial/test builds for us. .

does flashing a custom rom on a Pixel effect the camera picture quality like it does on Oneplus Phones?

I never had that issue with the Nexus phones. I would assume the same for this. It was one reason I purchased this phone over the 5T.

I'm glad that there are some ROMS being worked on. I really REALLY miss hold-back-to-kill and music controls with the volume rocker. Would be EXTREMELY helpful to have status bar brightness control as well. Pulling down the shade every time I want to change the brightness is pretty tedious.

If passing safety net is not an issue for you, the Xposed module GravityBox for Oreo is now ready. I believe this has all of the features that you are looking for.

Thanks

Thanks, this will work for now. Status bar brightness is a little glitchy in landscape, but other than that this it's perfect shin while I wait for an actual ROM.
