should this latest XenonHD version be "dirty flashed",
i.e. flashed without wiping apps, data, customizations, etc. ?
 
I found a bug!

Bug name: WhatsApp is crashing
Device: ZE552KL
Clean flash: yes
Mods:-
Themes:-
Additional info: Sometimes I'm in a WhatsApp conversation and it appears that some application has stopped (usually Facebook) a little after that WhatsApp stops. So far so good. The problem is that after WhatsApp closes I can even get into WhatsApp, but if I get into some conversation the App crashes and can only be resolved when I reboot the phone (and after WhatsApp crashes, several apps start to crash too , including the nova launcher and the System Interface (Sorry for my bad English, I hope Google translator has translated it right. Hahahah)

is anyone on the new XenonHD ROM and enjoying it ?
so far, there are 2 x posts giving details of problems (e.g. WhatsApp crashing & Viper/Dolby not working)

i want to know if there are any success stories :)
( and you should "clear flash" the ROM too )

This rom is actually really good, taking into account is still in development. I have had a very good experience with this rom, it is fast and it only have some problems. The thing I like the most is how fast my phone charges, with ampere I have measured the max of 1800 mA, compared to 400 mA I got with stock. It is worth the risk.

i like this ROM a lot too.
I'm running the April 2018 version,
and i was wondering what are the thoughts, from this latest May 2018 version.
( seeing that there are 2 x reports of issues already, from this thread )

i was asking because i would need to wipe data and i would lose all my Apps, before clean-flashing the ROM.

Using the latest build since 22nd May 2018. My previous issues regarding fingerprint sensor, loud ringtone in earphone are now solved. The ROM is quiet stable. No apps crashing. The only remaining issues are of battery drain for which I installed greenify and extremely rare display blackout after long period of device being locked. I have uninstalled greenify to see if it is causing the problem.
The best thing about this ROM is that it is not rooted and I can use my bank applications on the device.

There is a request I have if any senior members could please share some knowledge on the topic of custom kernel, how it works, benefits and how to get one. Thanks

thanks for this feedback.

i can recommend flashing the "Advanced Kernel" with the XenonHD ROM.
you can find it here --> https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3/development/kernel-advanced-kernel-lineageos-15-1-t3760007

i have been using this "Advanced Kernel" with 2018-April version of XenonHD , and it works fine and smooth.


The best thing about this ROM is that it is not rooted and I can use my bank applications on the device.
I used Magisk and bank applications can work well too.

i think i may have found a small problem.

my Zenfone was running XenonHD (April 2018)
i wiped data & formatted the phone, before flashing MAY 2018 of XenonHD


whenever i activate GPS, the icon does not show on the Status-Bar.

or one time, when GPS icon was showing, and i turned off GPS,...the icon remained at the top (of the status bar)

i just tried it again, i.e.
i wiped data/system/cache/dalvik and then re-installed XenonHD ROM (May-2018) + Magisk + Advanced Kernel
and i can replicate the GPS indicator fault.

the GPS icon in StatusBar stays ON, even when GPS is off.
when GPS is switched on/off, the icon just stays on.

when i reboot the phone, the GPS icon will disappear.

--------

edit:

i just wiped data/system/Dalvik/cache and flashed XenonHD (April-2018) + Magisk
and this time, the GPS icon does not even come on, on the StatusBar.

this is weird.

    I have a problem that when I use dark theme in the settings, and that I try to edit the QS tiles, I can barely see the tiles below (the colors are all white). I can't attach screenshot tho, is anyone else facing this problem?
    Rom is still experimental so expect some minor design flaws for the time. ;)

    They're many changes in rom side today probably I'll release a new build tomorrow... :silly:
