64bit A/B (this has system-as-root so needs A/B even though it doesn't support seamless updates.) I'm not that surprised the 10 GSIs didn't boot. Phh android 9 aosp 119 did boot, but had graphical glitches and no sound. ---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM...

True, that is why I bought it. But since it's also the first device I've ever had with treble and an unlockable bootloader, had to at least dip my toes in and see what that felt like.

Well after testing some more ont he GSI, I can see more graphical issues (no display of windows in recent apps, weird blanking during screen rotate) that makes me think that perhaps some graphics acceleration isn't working. In addition there is no audio. I tried going back to stock boot and...

Yeah, with the stock vbmeta, if you flash anything other than the signed stock image to system you can't get into recovery either, even if it is untouched. I'm not surprised that the same appears to apply for unsigned images to recovery.

Can confirm that this GSI will run (in my case on 10", but I don't think that matters much.) Has some graphical issues (quick settings tiles misaligned even after tweaking dpi) and won't pass safety net even with magisk since it's pre-rooted, but it did seem smoother than the stock rom (although...

I don't claim to have actually tried it (ordered a refurb tablet that hasn't arrived yet,) but on the on the supported devices page phhusson GitHub it does say: Why should I use GSI for A/B devices to some A-only devices? : On Android 9, Google changed the requirements and all devices shipped...

I have the same issue with the latest beta dropping out. Most of the time it has to be force closed before you can even reenable the VPN.

Also getting these wake locks on latest PA. Going to check stock for a bit. 47v2 had too many camera freezes for me.

I was using the 3/7 build and butter build #4 is a lot smoother. It seemed like android system was always using 10-20% cpu constantly before and that behavior is now gone. It sometimes was enough of an impact on smoothness that my touchpad almost seemed preferable, and the n7 felt like a g1...

Op here. I never ruled out an impact or flexing on the phone, it may very well be an impact on that particular area caused the fracture. But if it did, it was far too subtle for me to notice, thus the warnings about the durability of the phone. And like I said in my update, I'm reasonably...

Mine returned: Cheesy. Guess I should get to salsa to go with my cheesy chips.

Well somewhat, a bumper still protects the back by distributing an impact along the edges of the phone as long as it is from a source wide enough it does not point through that perimeter. Drop a phone with a bumper 4 feet onto a flat surface vs one without, odds are the bumper will save the...

Well I'm sure many would say I'm wrong and an impact caused it, but I'm reasonably certain I know when it happened. I work on robotic equipment and was doing a calibration procedure tonight when I heard an odd crack. At first I thought it was the machine, but the sound signature was wrong and...

I didn't drop it, didn't bang it against anything, nope-- it was just in my front pant pocket not being pressed on at all, covered by the official bumper case meant to protect it. Funny how it shattered perfectly around that speaker grill though, if there was a weak point in the glass that could...

All the people who sold their phone before placing an order on the Play store must not have lived through the Nexus 7 debacle. I ended up just picking mine up at Staples for that deal, got it sooner than most of the people who preordered. I can only imagine being out a decent smartphone for 3 weeks.
