Thank you so much!

I've used nothing but DU since March and I'd like to thank you for your continued work on our device. Hopefully now more people will find and appreciate your efforts!

Sweet a new rom to try out

 

[41rw4lk]

@jbats good to see you round these parts. Just installed DU for the 1st time on bonito; runs good, looks good, and I like the new boot logo and recovery. Any plans to build an in rom updater like lineage or aosip? I've become a fan of seamless updates. Anyways, nice work as usual and thanks for the rom.

Currently, no. However, we are planning to do this in the future.

Just flashed & loving it so far. Great to see the team still working. I'm trying to remember the first phone I flashed dirty on. Maybe htc m8. It was so long I don't recall

I've installed Bliss and Dirty Unicorns,
Dirty Unicorns is better IMO because of the minimal apps and quickness of multi-tasking.
Only complaint I would have is the lack of customization when it comes to status bar and colors.
Love the ROM and still using it, ty DU team. Please make variations of your boot animation

We're not making anymore variations of the boot animation. We have a light version and a dark version. That's good enough for us.

As for the lack of customization, we include what we find useful. We're never going to be one of these cookie cutter kitchen sink ROM's you see littered across XDA. If you would like to make a particular feature request, check the OP for instructions on how to do so.

FYI

Tried flashing boot .img and rom.zip from perminent TWRP (stock Pie), and does not work. I'll update to Q and follow the directions now.

Ok? I have no adb device detected from DU recovery. I guess I'll truy TWRP. Nevermind, temporary TWRP doesn't work with June release of Q.
Back to initial Pie factory image, and now will not boot into DU recovery. Temporary TWRP will not flash du_bonito-v14.6-20200808-1220-OFFICIAL and gives an error.
Flashed bootloader-bonito-b4s4-0.2-6355063.img, radio-bonito-g670-00042-200421-b-6414611.img, and 20200808-OFFICIAL-boot.img from fastboot and DU recovery has adb and sideload is working, but get an error at 47%

C:\Users\Russell\Downloads\Android\ADB and Fastboot>adb sideload du_bonito-v14.6-20200808-1220-OFFICIAL.zip
serving: 'du_bonito-v14.6-20200808-1220-OFFICIAL.zip'  (~47%)    adb: failed to read command: No error

In recovery

Step 1/3
Error applying update:  7 (ErrorCode::kInstallDeviceOpenError)
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)

Maybe a bad download, but I'll probably try v14.5 if I'm going to go through the trouble downloading again.
Honestly, I already pulled the trigger on an LG V20, and just playing with this a bit more before it goes on Swappa. No SD slot, no decent recovery partition, and USB 2.0? No thanks.

If you're coming from Pie, you need to flash stock to both slots to get your firmware up to date.

TWRP does not work on Q for Pixel 3 and 4.

Please do some research before messing with the device further.

I like to try every possible combination of flashing, maybe resize or dd some partitions at sleep deprived 4am, whatever. But I've been using the factory flash-all images, so I assume both slots, else what good are they. Some of the problem may have been with the myriad of adb versions I have littering my system. A photographic memory would be more effective than research redundancy (I forgot thinking temp. TWRP still worked).
Come to think of it, I think I flashed the June OTA going to Q. So that's likely why I didn't have ADB with DU Recovery

Unfortunately, it doesn't. The flash-all script only flashes to the active slot on the device, so you would have to manually change slots and run said flash-all script again to be completely up to date. As for the platform-tools versions, I believe 30.0.4 is the latest revision available at this time. Might be a good idea to download that and delete everything else you have.

Outside of this, our flashing instructions are very clearly labeled and should get you through the process of flashing DU as long as you follow the instructions that are applicable to you.

ROM is running great. Do we have to do a full wipe or can we just clear cache between uodates

You don't have to wipe at all between updates. It's written in the OP. Please read the instructions.

Great ROM, only issue I have is that whenever I try to change the volume while using my Pixel Buds, the system UI crashes and restarts every time. I've also found that this isn't device specific and happened on other phones I've had with Bliss. Aside from that, great work!

Could be a larger platform issue. You could provide logs to Google, but seeing as R is literally right around the corner -- they'll likely ignore it until the revision is out to the masses.

Download from DU site fails

I can't download any file greater than 1GB in size from https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/
It always stops at exactly 1 GB.
Unfortunately the latest DU release for bonito is 1.07 GB in size.
Can you confirm that? Maybe it's my Internet connection. I've tried different browsers and even wget.
Are there any mirrors?

Yeah that's what I figured. The second Android R releases, I don't see anyone caring ??

Hi @socksi. I have downloaded the file in 12 secs from our server without issue. Unfortunately, we do not use mirrors.

I will reach out to our webmaster and have him look into it. Stay tuned.

It fails even when using a VPN tunnel. Most probably it's not my Internet connection.
Maybe some kind of GEO blocking? I'm from Germany.
