I'm running the Lineage 17 on my OP3 since a while and the updating always fails. When it robots to twrp it fails to mount storage and when installing the new build fails to reinstall magist, etc... My device is set up to always require a password at boot, imho the issue is with twrp as it...

sniperle thanks but that is still not really much saying. The internet says: "The application permission settings is based on the runtime permission system introduced in Android 6.0 (API 23), while Privacy Guard is based on AppOpsManager API, a lower level permission management mechanism...

So the LOS 17.1 does not longer have the privacy guard, that's a pity. So its no longer possible to deny an application a particular permission while making it think it got it? Or is there a way? Also I don't understand why, if the new permissions hub and old privacy guard was an eider or...

How does rooting work on system-as-root devices anything to worry about or do i just install Magisk and that's it?

So for testing on a OP3 and wanting to be able to go back to the last Oxygen OS backup, one have to use the old TWRP, right? So what minor issues with it are to be expected?

For me majisk 18.1 worked just fine

Why does one try dirty flashing from Oreo to pie directly? If one is willing to wipe data, one can first try dirty flashing and if that fails one still can erase the data.

Given that this works it means that it must be possible somehow to migrate Oreo to Pie also with an unlocked boot loader without loosing app data. From Nougat to Oreo it worked fine also... I for my part am running OnePlus3Oxygen 4.5.0 firmware+modem with OnePlus3Oxygen 4.0.2 boot loader while...

I don't mean how to keep the stuff in the internal storage a.k.a. Emulated SD Card, what I want is to keep everything such that I don't need to setup the phone new after the upgrade, as it worked for me in Nougat to Oreo. The linked guide is useless in that regard as one of its steps is to wipe...

From Nougat to Oreo I did not need to do a clean Install, hence I would hope the same must be possible from Oreo to Pie... what shell I say I'm lazy and I'm not using all that cloud crap that sends once data to someone else's server. I for my part am running OnePlus3Oxygen 4.5.0 firmware+modem...

Has anyone tried restoring data after installation of the open beta to see if one can use the new release without reinstalling everything?

Well for me "without losing data" means that after installing the rom I don't need to reinstall my apps and setting everything up again. Why would someone care for the internal storage, that can be copied to the PC or a OTG USB Stick and back to the phone seamlessly. What counts are the apps and...

"you can install community beta pie without losing data" "In twrp 3.3.0.1 advance wipe dalvik cache, cache ,data ,system." mmh? wipe data wtf? Also you say to flash the latest OnePlus3Oxygen 5.0.8 Firmware + Modem over the Open Pie Beta, you could achieve this easier by simply modifying the...

Has anyone tried to modify the update script to skip the firmware blobs and only update boot and system? I would imagine that than you may be able to install it without a factory reset i.e. without corrupting the encryption of your data partition. Now if android P would run with old blobs is an...
