[ROM][8.1.0_r36][OFFICIAL] Cosmic-OS v3.2 - Pulsar [oneplus2]

[SkyeNymph]

So if I want to revert back to my old ROM, do i nedd to do a full wipe still since I'm not encrypted, or will i just be fine flashing my old twrp and wipe /system and stuffs and restore my old backup?

Also I'd like to add

The next build will add hardware accelerated encryption and enforce it at boot

You can't switch from cosmic-os/glassrom to any other ROM because of 2 things
Platform signatures will change and the keymaster might recycle your key. Be careful because this means that data can't be decrypted even with the password

No ROMs other than cosmic-os and glassrom support hardware accelerated encryption so they'll have a hard time decrypting data

So if you want to switch from the next build onwards you'll have to format data in TWRP

Is this my problem? No, other ROMs should have followed the CTS and enabled these features on oreo as directed by Google. If they wish to use the "but we're not a manufacturer ROM" reason it's their problem and I couldn't care less if you switch to a ROM that doesn't follow the CTS carefully

I don't know but this will take time to settle and also if someone didn't like the ROM and want to revert then it's you who people will ask from about the issue you can't just say it's not my problem. You've developed this great ROM so now people's problem is your problem [emoji28]

I really want to try this ROM as I am on Cosmic previous build but knowing lots of bugs about it and not able to switch back is what stopping me from trying this...

Hoping for a stable build..

Now that I'm done joking

"someone didn't like the ROM and want to revert"
Well is that really my problem? Tell me. Would you ask oneplus to make it easier to flash custom ROMs? And would they actually listen to you?

Anyway changing ROMs implies you're also changing signing keys. As per Google's docs changing signing keys means that all data has to be wiped and the TEE has to destroy the encryption key. This is what happens on a pixel when you unlock the bootloader so I'm not entirely wrong here

"you can't just say it's not my problem"
I can if you don't read the thread before flashing. It is the user's mistake if the user flashes a ROM without reading the whole thread
As for your question, you have to flash the enhanced TWRP for other ROMs from my thread and then flash your other ROM. You can then switch and this information is present in the post you quoted. Mind reading?

"so now people's problem is your problem"
No it's not. You're not paying for this and are getting this for free so there really is no guarantee and I'm not liable

"I really want to try this ROM as I am on Cosmic previous build "
You can't flash this over a build not made by me. Builds made by me are signed with my keys so you can't flash it on top of a build not made by me. Even if the code is exactly the same if the signing keys are different a factory reset is required and the ROM won't boot unless you do

"not able to switch back is what stopping me from trying this..."
If you're talking about reverting to a previous build then this is not supported. Google anti-rollback and AVB rollback index and you'll understand why. Android never supported downgrading

"knowing lots of bugs about it"
Let me know of one bug that you've actually found out

You are absolutely correct nothing to argue. I was just saying. I tried this ROM the one problem I faced was network which you mentioned "A known bug" that is what i was talking about.
And reverting back means to other ROMs not only to the previous build or downgrading to previous version. I was talking about clean flashing the OS. In that people are having trouble and yes it's there fault because they don't mind reading instructions.
And i am talking about the ROM you built the Cosmic Universe from where we have moved to this new thread.
I read the instructions and know the procedures and successfully installed it on my phone. You can see above i have also told people to use custom recovery to switch back.
You are doing a great job no complaints!

Sorry man, the call bug is actually a common issue on all dual SIM devices and if you were to check github then you can see that they're fixing the issue

Also if I were to modify the ROM myself then I can't call it "official". On official ROMs the maintainers aren't supposed to modify the ROM source themselves as that would defeat the whole point of calling it official

And I can't push any "bugfix" update right now. They've been working on the dialer and the current source on github doesn't build without errors so all I can do is wait until they fix their source

Also read the thread again, sigh, I've already said this before

hi all,
come from another rom, did clean wipe, formatted data, installed recovery from OP, reboot to new recovery, did another format data, and installed rom and gapps.
didn't see encryption screen and boot went till the end with no problems. Repeated format data and have begun the process all over again. No encrytion screen again.
The version i downloaded was cosmic-os-july-release-patch1.zip. Is this the 3.2 version? I'm not encrypted, but is there any way of become encrypted now?
Other thing is that in settings about phone i dont see the version of Cosmic Rom, thers no line with the cosmic version.

Yeah there was a small error made while building the last build so that change was never picked up

New build is now out which fixes that

Also remember update your TWRP from the one on the server before upgrading

First boot might take up to an hour so make sure you have the device connected to a charger so that you don't boot with 0% battery

Which one is 3.2

Cosmic OS august release

I have a problem with the installation of the rom. I flash the vendor recovery via twrp in the recovery partition, then swipe cache and it appears "unable to mount / usb storage" (invalid argument). Restart recovery, I do wipe cache but I always have the same error and I can not flash the rom.

Flash the recovery given here through fastboot command

Recovery logs help a lot more

Recovery logs help a lot more

unfortunately I had no way to save the log because I needed the smartphone and I proceeded to restore the official recovery and install another Rom. As soon as I have time, I will install the Cosmic OS.

Excuse my ignorance, why this Rom uses a Vendor partition? Are there any benefits?

Approximately 200 mb worth of data (100 when compressed) is almost never updated between builds so the ROM can be updated with a system-only update

However given how users are reacting when they hear a special TWRP is required is fantastic. It remains highly debatable if I will add such a feature

GApps keeps crashing

Hi,

I installed the "cosmic-os-august-release" and then "open_gapps-arm64-8.1-micro-20181005" . But the play services keeps crashing.
Tried doing this a couple of times, but the same result. Did anyone face this before? Any tips to resolve?

Thanks in advance

Regards!

How to revert to Official TWRP for OP2?

Hi,

I installed the "cosmic-os-august-release" and then "open_gapps-arm64-8.1-micro-20181005" . But the play services keeps crashing.
Tried doing this a couple of times, but the same result. Did anyone face this before? Any tips to resolve?

Regards!

Had been trying many combinations and ways of installation. I end up with one or the other problem. Had been trying to read through the internet on fixing these, without much help.
Couple of deal killers - It takes hours to boot to this ROM (more than two hours as it booted up after I finished a movie. The second restart is still running, I am simply going to reset again).

When I installed the stock GApps, Google play and other Google apps is working. However camera keeps crashing.

Can someone help me with steps to get back to Official TWRP for OP2? (Not able to do that either) I'm kind of stuck with my OP2. Please help.

EDIT: I did a "fastboot oem unlock" and then flashing another ROM. Now, I'm able to use another ROM (unencrypted). Happy that I'm able to use my phone now. Now, the next thing I am trying to do is to install the official TWRP for OP2. Currently I'm stuck with vendor-TWRP. Since, I'm not much knowledgeable on this subject, I'm going the trial and error way! Would help me a lot if some experienced techies can offer some advice!

I will no longer be updating this

Requesting thread closure

If a new maintainer picks it up you will have to clean flash as the signing keys will be different
