Rooted and Stock - What to add/tweak? - Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

I've rooted my Stock OS Pixel 3 XL - What to add/tweak?
Suggested discussion format:
- What specifically have you used root for to add or tweak your Stock OS?
- What did each addition/tweak accomplish?
- What have you tried but then removed, and why?
- What are you considering but haven't tried yet, and/or want to accomplish but haven't found a way to yet?

Running Pie PQ2A.190405.003 by the way...
- What specifically have you used root for to add or tweak your Stock OS?
So far, I have added Majisk with the following Majisk modules: Active Edge Mod, FDE.AI, Systemless Hosts. I have also added AdAway using F-Droid app.
- What did each addition/tweak accomplish?
Active Edge Mod - Allows custom response when squeezing the sides. I bought the Pro version, and have it set to pull up the camera when squeezing while the phone is locked. If the phone is unlocked, a squeeze turns on the flashlight.
FDE.AI - Much like L Speed or HEBF Optimizer apps, but I'm seeing if I can truly buy into the 'set it and forget it' simplicity of FDE.AI.
Systemless Hosts - Found this in Magisk settings options. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe this allows Magisk to hide adblocking attempts (AdAway in my case) from the OS and any apps which may try to counter adblocking efforts.
AdAway - The #1 reason I rooted - system-wide adblocking!
- What have you tried but then removed, and why?
I tried to install the Majisk module OnePlus Slate Font Systemless, but I immediately noticed that it turned the : on my lockscreen clock into a rectangle in error, so I removed it.
- What are you considering but haven't tried yet, and/or want to accomplish but haven't found a way to yet?
I am considering ViPER4Android. I'm vaguely familiar with this app, but don't want to tinker too much - just want to improve the Pixel 3 XL's audio quality overall if I can just install it and make a few adjustments (or none) and end up with a difference. Maybe this weekend...
Also, I had a OnePlus 6 - I'd love to find an easy way to black theme all of the OS screens like you could with the flip of a switch on the OnePlus (or a Samsung) - but without having to install a custom ROM. Update: Ah yep, I remember now: Substratum.

- What specifically have you used root for to add or tweak your Stock OS?
Magisk installed via TWRP.
- What did each addition/tweak accomplish?
Viper4Android (Use mostly convolvers, xhifi and bass effects + My HTC USB C to 3.5 is delicious), All kind of magisk modules, such as Google Sans MOD (The font is systemwide), Energized (like adaway but more aggresive), FDE.AI (resulted in little bit more of juice), Rboard Themes (for gboard theming), and other mods that requires magisk like Riru Core and Riru Xposed (and with this MinMinGuard (no ads systemwide in apps), GravityBox (LOTS of tweaks with this love the EQ Visualizer on lockscreen) and Whatsapp Tweaker (some mods for beta whatsapp)), YouTube Vanced (for no ads and background playing), substratum (theming), Sa2ration (for sturate a litle bit the oled screen), ActiveEdgeMod.
- What have you tried but then removed, and why?
One r two substratum themes because some layers break apps when updated, Custom Kernels (in general they help performance but my SOT decrease), tried to uninstall some system apps but results were not good.
- What are you considering but haven't tried yet, and/or want to accomplish but haven't found a way to yet?
Screenshots in secured apps (Think there's a tool for this but haven't tried)
Some mods in whatsapp tweaks (don't want to get banned)
Android Q but still need apps for banking, work which not support it.

KitKat XPOSED

IS NOT MY WORK Y JUST WANT TO SHOW TO YOU THIS HARD STUFF
ALL CREDIT GO TO THEM
READ THIS POST CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER
Hey!
After countless hours of coding and searching for proper entry points to inject code to incorporate fixes and mods, here it is:
GravityBox - a complex Xposed module targeted for devices running Android 4.4, which turns vanilla ROM into
feature-packed "non-flashing" custom ROM.
Originally, this module was designed for MTK6589 devices which lack custom ROMs built from source due to MediaTek closed-source policy.
Later on, it was adjusted to support other (non-MTK) devices running vanilla or close-to-vanilla AOSP ROMs.
Introduction
The app utilizes amazing Xposed framework coded by recognized
developer rovo89 which, briefly, provides interface for injecting code into any app, including system services allowing modifications of applications and system services at run-time. One of the biggest advantages of GravityBox is that it is not bound to any specific device. Actually, it should run on any device having vanilla Android 4.4 (ROM close enough to AOSP).
This project wouldn't be possible without rovo's Xposed framework, so huge kudos to him.
Feature highlight
--- CyanogenMod Pie controls
--- Expanded Desktop
--- Statusbar QuickSettings tile management with tile reordering
--- Lockscreen targets
--- Statusbar icon coloring

--- Quick pulldown - switches to QuickSettings when status bar is pulled down near edges
--- Auto-switch to QuickSettings when there are no notifications
--- Center clock in statusbar
--- Battery indicator style
--- Navigation bar tweaks including cursor control keys
--- Low battery warning policy
--- Disable LED flashing when battery low
--- Disable LED while charging
--- Advanced power-off menu (reboot, recovery)
--- Volume key cursor control
--- Skip tracks by volume key long-press while screen off (thanks to rovo89)
--- More volume levels for music stream
--- Option to control safe headset media volume
--- Button for clearing all recent tasks at once
--- CRT screen off animation
--- Minimal brightness setting
--- Autobrihtness levels adjustment
--- Lockscreen tweaks - show widgets maximized, lockscreen background style (color fill, custom image)
--- Lockscreen rotation
--- Hardware key actions - menu long-press/double-tap, back long-press, home long-press
--- Dithered Holo background
--- Option to use solid black Holo background
--- Expandable volume panel
--- Option to unlink ringtone and notifications volumes
--- Notification drawer style (background color, image for portait/landscape, transparency)
--- Button backlight modes (default, disabled, always on while screen is on)
--- Dialer (Phone) tweaks
--- Launcher tweaks
--- Screen recording
... more to come
Compatibility
Some words about GB's main concept. One thing I didn't like about xposed modules was that it was always necessary to reboot a device after making a change to some option. Since GB's main concept was to turn MTK devices running stock ROM into something that's close enough to a feature-packed custom ROM, I had to take a decision - for it to be as much comfortable as possible and to really behave like a custom ROM, I had to design it to support most of the preference changes to be done on the fly without needing to reboot a device. While this sounds nice, it also brings couple of "drawbacks". For changes to be made on the fly, it is necessary to make some preparations when device starts. This means, even if you don't use the particular feature, the necessary preparation/modification is already there and is waiting for the user to come and change that option.
This means it is not possible to "completely deactivate" particular feature if it causes trouble on your device or if you installed GB because you want to use only one particular feature you can't find elsewhere.
This results in issues on ROMs/devices that have parts that are diverting from default Android implementation too much, or are running heavily modified custom ROMs.
If you experience weird issues after installing GB, even if you didn't activate a particular feature, it is not because of GB is broken, it is because it is not compatible with your ROM. It is very similar as if you installed ROM built from source for Nexus to some Xperia device - it won't work.
Next thing, GB is a complex module and is not suitable for 1 purpose scenario. This means, if you are running custom ROM built from source (CM, PAC, ...), and you are missing a certain feature, your best option is to go ask creators of those ROMs to implement those additional features. Supplementing missing features on well-known custom ROMs built from source by installing xposed modules (especially complex ones) is definitely not a good way to go and can cause more trouble than good.
And finally, the last. GB being a complex module, it shouldn't be combined with other complex modules often racing for the same goal. They can conflict/fight on the same playground and there's no way you can deterministically say which one's going to win.
They can even lose both.
So in summary:
- this module is designed to run on vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android 4.4 (AOSP)
- supports "Google devices" like Nexus, HTC One Google play edition, and others running vanilla Android 4.4
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
- DO NOT USE WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE CM,AOSPA,ROOTBOX,AOKP,SLIM, OMNI AND THEIR OTHER CLONES... IT MAKES NO SENSE AND CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS AND UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
- I will not implement any exceptions that will adapt this module to a specific custom ROM. Please, do understand, it is unmanageable.
- I will not provide any support for devices violating these compatibility rules
Prerequisites
To use this module, the following conditions must be met
- You have a device running Android 4.4 that's based on AOSP (vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android)
- ROM must be rooted (XposedInstaller requires root to be able to install framework into system)
- You have working custom recovery allowing you to make a backup before installing Xposed framework
GravityBox KitKat version has been developed and tested on Nexus 5
Installation
1) Backup your current ROM in custom recovery. I am serious. Don't skip this step.
2) Get the Xposed installer from Download section from Xposed official thread (the latest version is typically available at this link: http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk) or this flashable zip https://mega.co.nz/#!nM9UEKQS!aQtXSzmL_LL9J7pEOtSiQSk7xV9j7-hQ_7mOllB7t4c
3) Install and run Xposed installer and follow the instructions to activate Xposed framework
4) Reboot. If device doesn't boot that means that the Xposed framework is not compatible with ROM you are currently
running. You don't need to continue with the next steps. You will have to restore your ROM from backup.
5) Download, GravityBox APK from the second post, rename it to GravityBox.apk and install it.
Alternatively, you can download the latest GravityBox directly from Xposed Installer (search for GravityBox [KK] module).
6) Make sure GravityBox app is installed into internal memory. If it was installed into phone storage or external storage,
move it into the internal memory first (applies only to devices having additional or external storage)
7) Run Xposed installer, go to Modules menu and activate GravityBox by checking the checkbox
8) Reboot
9) Launch GravityBox from app drawer or from Xposed installer and set options as desired
Reporting bugs
If you experience problems with certain feature, provide the full-detailed info that can help me
to reproduce the bug and attach debug.log file you'll find in:
/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log
In case you experience SystemUI crashes or other apps Force Closing, or device soft reboots, attach logcat from time
crash occurs. (use adb logcat *:E or your favorite logcat app from Play Store).
Please, don't attach big logs. Only the portion where error is clearly seen.
Disable all other xposed modules before reproducing bug to make sure it is really GravityBox related
Remember, this app was developed and tested on one particular device so it is not guaranteed that
it will work flawlessly on yours.
Multilanguage support
Volunteers are welcome to translate GravityBox to other languages.
Simply download this file: https://github.com/GravityBox/Gravit...es/strings.xml

[ROM] [5.1] [10/22/15] LolliGPE - Sense Apps, Xposed, F2FS, Themes[MULTICARRIER]

Team "Brown Eye Winking" Presents:
Digitalhigh GPE - The ORIGINAL GPE for HTC M8
(often imitated, never duplicated!)
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU'RE HERE TO POST A QUESTION OR ISSUE REGARDING THE ROM, PLEASE READ THE OP AND SECOND POST ENTIRELY.
If this is your first time visiting, please be sure to read this and post #2 THOROUGHLY, as I have tried to address many common issues and questions in them. If you ask a question that is addressed here, you will most certainly get a facepalm meme aimed directly at you.
Hi! I'm Digitalhigh, and welcome.
What is this ROM?
This ROM is a mostly vanilla port of the International 5.1 Google Play Edition ROM for the HTC M8 with minimal modification and tweaks. GPE Roms are similar to AOSP in that they are lacking in the custom "skin" that OEM's like HTC and Samsung's respective Sense and Touchwiz use. However, unlike pure source-built ROMS, GPE contains certain features found in OEM ROM's. Specifically, this GPE supports boomsound, motion launch gestures, and the Duo FX camera.
What makes this ROM somewhat unique is that the installation process has been meticulously designed to be incredibly modular and allow for as much or as little customization as desired. Aside from the changes needed to make it work on Sprint and Verizon and updates to Google applications and frameworks, it is possible to install a nearly 100% stock GPE ROM. On the other hand, it's entirely possible to tailor nearly every element of the ROM's applications and performance variables.
In short, it's like an erector set for flashaholics who want some Sense in their Cyanogenmod...or maybe the other way round.

08.07.14 -
Fixed issues with Lunar kernel causing bootloops in certain cases.

Made "L" stuff more optional - framework-res for animations, systemUI for IC stuff, settings.apk for settings, and a new headsup app. You can pick each component to install.
All three MMS apps in the ROM are now fixed for size stuff. Because I'm replacing a core system app (Hangouts), there *MAY* be issues if you have an updated version of it installed as well. I got a bunch of google f/c's after dirty flash - rebooting seems to fix this.
Replaced the heads-up apk with a better one that's free, and works in all rotations.
Forced rotation is now an optional system mod in the installer.
SD camera is now an optional system mod in the installer.
Hot reboot now works as expected, instead of making the phone bootloop.
The torch apk works as expected. As an additional happy accident, the flash mini-app in the dotview mod module for xposed now works.
Re-added several of the init.d scripts for optimization (not the one that makes it optimize apps every time )
Added the proper ART fix.
Now with free cookies!

Modify framework.jar to force all apps into auto-rotate.
Complete overhaul of VZW/carrier settings from Stock.

Updated Kernel tuner to kernel tuner 2014.
Fixed wipe settings in installer to allow selection of wipe options.
Updated several system apps, including dotview and HTC TV.
Optional camera app modded to allow writing to SD_external.
More sprockets than ever!

Addendum/faq/bug reporting
Reporting Bugs:
I have a limited amount of time, and there are a TON of posts made to this thread asking for help. I try to answer as many as I can, but sometimes the questions are so redundant or vague - it's not worth my time. To avoid being one of these posts...do the following...
Since this is now a multicarrier ROM, the number of variables involved in solving some issues has increased threefold. If you are reporting an issue, is is going to be very beneficial to both you and I to let me know a few things. What version of this ROM did you flash (post the filename), carrier you're on, what firmware you're using, what kernel you installed, and if you did a dirty flash or restored apps with TiBu.
Also,
I'm a big fan of logcats, especially when it's an issue that can't be easily reproduced. As this is basically a vanilla ROM, the issues should be minimal, but if you do have a problem that can't be easily reproduced, then you need to post a logcat, or I may ignore you or say something snarky instead of providing assistance. Obviously, a description of the issue and how to reproduce it help as well. Saying "my phone dun not work" isn't going to help.
Now, read below and see if your question has already been answered.
Common Issues/FAQ
My wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep.
Flash the firmware in the OP.
GPS Isn't working(GPS ISSUES)
Flash a stock sense ROM.
Get a GPS lock. (gps only) - You can verify this using GPS Toolbox.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash my ROM.
This doesn't always work on the first try, but once you fix it, it should stay fixed. I've personally had to try like three or four times to get it to stick...but then it's flawless.
Update: People have also reported success by flashing sense - copying gps.conf from /system/etc, flashing back to GPE, and then putting gps.conf back into /system/etc.
What does kernel XXX do?
Look here.
What's this firmware?
It is the wifi, chipset, touchscreen, sensorhub, and adsp (sound) firmware from the official 5.0/5.1GPE release for GSM devices. I have removed the hboot, tz, boot.img, recovery, and repartitioning done by the firmware, as well as modified it to be flashed to any carrier device.
Is this stock HTC/Sense 7 App included? I want it.
The list of current working HTC Stock Apps are:
Dotview
HTC TV
Weather
Camera (Zoe not working)
Gallery
Blinkfeed
Keyboard
Browser
Music Player
File Manager
I've already got the ROM installed and want to do an update...should I wipe first?
Probably not? It depends on which version you're on, but for the most part, you should be fine dirty flashing. My approach is always to try first, and then if there are issues, do a wipe and rebuild my apps and stuff. Most changes I'm making at this point should not require a wipe. If I feel it's wise, I will state as such when posting news of a new release.
If you're NOT currently using GPE, then YES, you need to wipe.
I tried a dirty flash, and the device *almost booted* but it's stuck at "starting apps". Now what?
Sorry. It sounds like you're one of the people where a dirty flash won't work. This is *usually* a result of updating google play services and skipping revisions. You could try manually deleting the folder /data/data/com.google.android.gms using TWRP file manager. If that still doesn't work, then you should probably just do a clean install.
I tried a dirty flash, and the device booted, but a bunch of apps are crashing/not working/complaining about files missing. What is with this *&^# ROM?
Dirty flashing is called "dirty" for a reason. You're taking a running filesystem and trying to insert a bunch of new programs. Sometimes this works, sometimes the jump from app versions is so much that it breaks those apps. The simple fix is to do a clean flash. If you're feeling more intrepid, find the folder for that app in /data/data and delete it using root explorer or TWRP file manager.
Will Xposed work with this?
You betcha! This has the "alpha" Xposed for 5.1. It is very solid. However, the modules that have been updated to work with 5.1 are still a little scarce, so you will have to test some of them to see if they work.
For your convenience, I have included Gravitybox and Xhangouts with the installer.
I installed this ROM, and now my screen/wifi/touchscreen/etc isn't working correctly!
Have you read through the firmware instructions in the OP? Please do.
Will I be able to use other ROMS with this firmware?
Probably? All I'm doing is replacing hardware bits with the latest ones. If your wifi doesn't work on a different ROM...flash the stock firmware back.
Okay, so does the Sense camera not work with this ROM or not?
IT DOES! For the longest time...it didn't. But now it does, and it's included with the ROM.
A few of the features (like Zoe) are not available, but this is the only Sense 7 Camera/Gallery combo with working Duo FX.
I flashed this ROM, and now my SD card is gone in recovery!
Your stuff is still there - your recovery just isn't smart enough to see it. Update to the latest version of TWRP by Captain_Throwback from here and you will be fine.
HELP! I flashed this ROM, and now my LTE doesn't work...even on other ROMS!
First off, chill out. This is a known issue with HTC devices as a result of nothing more than flashing ROMS over and over and over and over again. While it is alarming, it's fairly easy (albeit involved) to fix. Read below:
Anyone having radio issues: The NV partition, which handles the radios, may be corrupted. Especially if you do a lot of ROM and firmware flashing. You can flash all the ROM's and firmware you like but it will not change the fact something is corrupt. The only way to reset the partition to out of the box stock is to flash your carrier's 4.4.4 firmware and the stock recovery for you device. Reboot to recovery and select factory data reset and let it do it's thing. If you watch the reset log you will see it mention resetting the NV partition. Then just flash back your recovery of choice and ROM of choice. This has been the proven fix for HTC devices for a few years now.

Is it presently still not possible to incorporate HTC sense framework to have things like Zoe , Gallery, Camera, and... Well I guess that's all I really care about haha. I want to take advantage of the dual back cams, but other than that, I want my AOSP style back!

Thank you and GPE does take advantage of dual cam when you take pic it should pop up for edit.

This is a port of the GPE, correct? so I think the camera software was included! (at least according to a video I saw)

I'll let you know if it works on this one soon. But it should, I read somewhere a while back where HTC supplied the ONE M8 GPe with the camera firmware to make it work. And since the software for the GPe devices come from the manufacturer not from Google, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.
Awesome, installing now!
This feels laggy compared to the stock ROM. I might have to switch back if it doesn't change.

That's very surprising. Maybe it is missing certain optimizations? In my experiences I've never seen a GPE Rom get outperformed by something Sense-Based.
Though I will say that my tweaked/rooted Stock Rom with faux kernel is ripping fast right now. Best stock experience I've had to date.

Are the audio enhancements there? I really think HTC nailed the audio with boomsound.

I'm synced and settled down, and the only lag I get is with camera. Everything else seems comparably responsive.

I am seeing the lag as well, nothing horrible but it is there, I have noticed after a reboot though it mostly goes away. Except in the camera. It is almost unusable. Also I can confirm that the dual camera system is definitely working right. Also I think that we are still having raido issues, I attached a few screenshots but I am on 3G, and my other M8 that is stock gets LTE when I sit them side by side. And my network is 31000 instead of Verizon Wireless, and we are still roaming.

What do you use root for?

Just wondered what you guys are using root for?
with the release of 5.0.1, and no root, i was wondering if i still needed it. So i checked my SuperSU and this is what i have:
App Quarantine - useful for bloatware
BuildProp Editor - not needed anymore, used it once for Viper4Android
Busybox Free
ES File Explorer - very useful
Flex multiwindow Mod - used it a few times
Game Killer - useful but doesn't work with ART runtime
Storage Analyser - used a few times
Viper4Android FX - used daily - not sure if 5.0.1 is any different and those on lollipop will need to do anything regarding their audio
not listed, but probably useful is the SD card fix so apps can delete/edit files outside of the native app.
- Xposed: G2 TweakBox (remove carrier from lock), GravityBox[KK] (Pie menu + battery), LG Pie Support (for Pie).
- ES File Explorer
- Busybox
- AdAway (though, it can interfere with apps like Facebook - because I don't use such stuff on my phone, I don't care)
Well, these from the top of my head.
I missed Pie + no navbar the most from 5.0.
And hell, as I wrote in other threads, battery life is much worse.
Xposed is here, we can bid farewell to most of immaturity Lollipop comes with. The release of this OS was clouded even for the Nexus devices what else is left to talk about.

[ROM][LOS14.1][7.1.2_r29] DARK ROM [OMS][Pixel features][Delta updates][11/02]

Hi guys,
I'm building an extra lean LineageOS 14.1 ROM for bullhead with a few added features. A lot of packages have been stripped down, only the bare minimum is built to provide a fast and stable ROM. That gives you much more freedom as you can install exactly what you really want from the Playstore. You can install most of the missing packages manually, they are available in a flashable zip on the server (see second post).
My approach for DARK ROM 14.1 is to add as many Pixel features as possible while keeping a solid LineageOS base.
Key features
- Full OMS support (rootless)
- Signature spoofing support
- Pixel Launcher (with the provided GAPPS package)
- Pixel animated navbar (with on/off switch)
- Pixel sounds
- Pixel accent colors
- Pixel bootanimation with sound
- Rounded icons
- Google Assistant
- Night Light
- Night Light Brightness
- Choose between dialer and voice assistant in lockscreen
- Hide next alarm from expanded status bar and lockscreen
- Disable the boot animation sound
- Secure lockscreen (disables status bar pull down, quick settings tiles, power button and lockscreen shortcuts)
- Double tap the lock icon on the lockscreen to sleep
- Longpress power button while screen off to trigger flashlight
- Hide bluetooth icon when disconnected
- Volume steps
- Quick unlock pin/password
- Remove album art from lockscreen
- Date in status bar
- Battery bar
- Custom headers
- Smart pulldown
- Volume button controls media volume anywhere
- Change navbar height
- Screenshot tile
- Caffeine tile
- Sync tile
- Reboot/recovery tile
- Music tile
- USB Tethering tile
- NFC tile
- Quick settings custom rows/columns
- Turn on/off mobile data with single click on collapsed quick settings
- Status bar ticker
- Separate ring and notification volume
- Specific color for 100% charged battery
- Prevent accidental wakeup
- Remove settings suggestions
- Show WiFi SSID in status bar
- Show carrier label in status bar
- Hide carrier label when WiFi SSID is showing
- Hide carrier label on the lockscreen (or rename to whatever you want)
- Hide the low battery warning notification
- Remove the orange status bar and navigation bar when in battery saver mode
- One hand mode
- Choose doze brightness
- Adjust animation scale precisely with a slider
- Dynamic nav bar color (changes color to the same of status bar)
- In-call vibration options (on connect, on call waiting and on disconnect)

SafetyNet
The ROM is already designed to pass SafetyNet out of the box. No need to lock the bootloader (which I advise you to do ONLY on a pure factory image install) because the kernel has the patch for it. If you want root, you'll need to install Magisk, which comes pre-rooted. Then, enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager, hard reboot and you should be good to go. Also, do not enable busybox in Magisk Manager, that will cause you to randomly lose root. You'll get all you need to know on the Magisk thread.
ViPER4Android/ViPER4Arise
The ROM is designed to work with both ViPER4Android and ViPER4Arise out of the box without the need for SuperSU or any Magisk module. The SEPolicy already contains the necessary permissions for them to work even in Enforcing. All you need to do is flash the package of your choice.
Installation
Please refer to the official LineageOS thread for recovery or other device specific images (radio, bootloader, vendor).
If coming from any other ROM
- Backup first... always backup first
- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache
- Install DARK ROM
- Install provided GAPPS (mandatory)
- Install root package of your choice (I recommend Magisk)
Enjoy !
If coming from a previous build of mine
- Backup (you know it)
- Dirty flash DARK ROM
- Install root package of your choice
Enjoy! (if anything goes wrong, clean flash)

To download delta updates
Go to Settings/About phone/System updates and use the OpenDelta app to automatically download delta updates.
Delta Updates
Here are a few explanations on how to use delta updates. First, you will need to keep the first full build you downloaded on your sdcard (any full build that have NIGHTLY in the filename will do). I recommend that you keep it on the root of your sdcard until you flash a new build with the OpenDelta app. After that, the OpenDelta app will automatically place a new flashable zip inside the OpenDelta folder that will be used for the next delta updates. At that point you can delete the build on the root of your sdcard, but you will need to keep the (latest) file in the OpenDelta folder at all times to keep the delta updates working.
You will also notice a folder named FlashAfterUpdate in the OpenDelta folder. As its name suggests, any flashable zip files that you put in this folder will be flashed automatically after the update. I recommend that you put all your extra flashable zips there, cause if you use the app to auto-flash the latest build, it will reboot automatically after updating, which means you won't have the opportunity to manually flash other zips. If you want root to survive, you need to put your root package there.

Donations
Please consider a donation if you like my work ! I spend a lot of time and effort working on this, so if you can spare a few bucks, please buy me a beer (so I can relax when I'm stuck on a stubborn bug) or a coffee (so I can work on it later in the night). If you decide to do so, I'll gladly add you to the Donation Hall of Fame (see second post)

Extra Packages
On the server you will find a file named ExtraPackages_date.zip which contains a few apps that are not available out of the box in my builds (see list). You won't have to flash it every update, since there is a survival script. I suggest you open the zip and remove the files you don't need before flashing it the first time.
Here is what's included:
- Calendar (AOSP Calendar)
- Contacts (AOSP Contacts)
- DeskClock (AOSP Clock)
- Dialer (AOSP Dialer)
- Eleven (LOS Music player)
- ExactCalculator (LOS Calculator)
- Gallery2 (AOSP Photos)
- Jelly (LOS Browser)
- LatinIME (AOSP Keyboard)
- Messaging (AOSP SMS)
- Recorder (LOS Recorder)
- Snap (LOS Camera)
- Stk (AOSP SIM card toolkit)
- Trebuchet (LOS Launcher)
Note that if you install my GAPPS and the complete Extra packages, you'll end up with two Phone app and two Contacts apps. Simply delete the GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer in the system/priv-app and reboot. If you choose to use the AOSP Dialer instead of Google Dialer, you'll need to go to Settings/Apps/Gear Icon (top right) and choose the AOSP Dialer as default phone app, otherwise you won't be able to make calls.
Downloading now, looking forward to trying this rom out. Lots of awesome features up there!
Ok, first ROM in a while thst I would like to try. The feature list looks very well designed and thought about. Thank You
Thx for the new rom
Thanks Dark_Eyes_ I've been missing this ROM since upgrading from Nexus 5 to 5x. It's working well so far. Awesome work ?
Woooow thanks ....??

Hi, when using settings-display-color calibration I get a 'lineage os system error ' . No other issues found so far. Anyone else get this? Cheers.
EDIT: Im set to English UK btw.

Thanks for reporting. I already found the solution, it will be fixed in the next update. For the time being simply switch to English (US), edit the color calibration and switch back to your desired language. Cheers!
Hi Dark_Eyes_ I'm really finding the new 7.1.2 feature allowing a swipe down on the fingerprint sensor when unlocked to access pulldown notifications really useful. I see that there are a few apps out there that can enhance its use but all seem to have their probs . Is this something you can play with ? I can think of all sorts of uses but a first would be a tap of the fingerprint sensor to switch off screen when on. Cheers

Hi, I have tried a few with not much success. Can you recommend a good one that works well on the 5x ? Thanks
This ROM is awesome! Android Pay works, which is awesome, because I struggled getting Magisk to work on stock rom. I've been staying away from ROMs for a while now, but when I saw your feature list, I couldn't help but try. Really glad I did!
Thanks for the rom...!!

@Dark_Eyes_ glad to see you in Bullhead branch. I was so much enjoying Bliss roms until my Hammerhead's wifi chip decided to fail only 2 weeks after warranty expired. The cost of replacement of whole logic board was the same as buying the new 5X at that time 2 years on market already.

Flashed it yesterday and haven't had any issue. Thanks for the ROM. Hope you keep up the good work.
Im on the PixelROM for some quite time. It was so far the easiest hassle free choice for me with so little free time. Installer all in one all together with bootloders and radios all up to date. Bliss was kind of very slow with development lately for this device. I would like to try this ROM cuz I had good memories of @Dark_Eyes_
A few questions though...
1. Compatible with cf SuperSu?
2. How about Open Aroma GApps?
3. What about other custom kernels according to SafetyNet?
Thanks for this ROM

1. Yes, but it might not pass SafetyNet
2. Yes, but you'll need to install at least Google dialer, Google keyboard and pixel launcher.
3. Other kernels might or might not pass SafetyNet. It's most likely up to them, but usually using Magisk will make them work. You might need the beta v13 though.

SafetyNet is not my priority, never ever played pokemon go or was paying via NFC since Android Pay is not yet supported in my country, I look more to stability and better (less) battety drain, but thanks for clearifying.

Xposed now available for Pie?!!

I have not read the thread yet, but how did this happen without me knowing.

It's better to have knowledge of an xposed modules compatibility on Android version rather than stuck on bootloop with problematic module enabled,users can mention about their working xposed modules in this thread so that they are added to this list which makes it lot easier for all the xposed users. We are grateful to the people who contributed to the Xposed Framework and its Modules since its journey started especially the legend rovo89, Ed Xposed Developer givien2u,riru core developer Rikka, Module Devs and other contributers, let's hope incompatible modules make again way to the newer Android versions in near future...

Good news.
If Gravitybox comes out for Pie then I will try EDxposed.
I wouldn't trust EdXposed on my phone since it's closed source, so who knows what kind of logging, backdoors, etc are hidden in there. Plus I don't consider it to truly be Xposed unless it was released by the man (Rovo89) himself.
I still run Xposed on my tablet that is on Nougat (and runs too good for me to upgrade to a ported O/P version) and uses nothing that requires SafetyNet. I really have no interest even trying it on O or P since most everything I need has a Magisk module available and I don't need to turn it off and reboot to get SafetyNet to pass. I tip my hat to Rovo since Xposed paved the way for a lot of what we do now (and got a lot of functionality ending up already on the OS), but it just isn't worth the hassle that it has become for me anymore.
