I'm just nervous about flashing my new phone. Never did one with the a/b partition thing before.
Rom is wonderful, only problems that I've gotten at all is in device boot up it's starting phone and never starts it like a boot loop and takes 5-7 reboots of the UI and user data, and a occasional network hiccup.
I have never had the issue of "phone starting" dialog stuck but seems like issue with decryption. Also if you have an SD card make sure it's formatted.
At least this phone has a blankflash so you can (most likely) recover from a hardbrick if needed. But if you just dont try to flash different custom roms over themselves like my dumbass you wont have to get that farI'm just nervous about flashing my new phone. Never did one with the a/b partition thing before. Been using custom roms and twrp for years.
Is there an option to turn off the finger print sensor functions? It's pressure sensitive and brings you back home, how do I disable that?
Replaced /system/usr/keylayout/uinput.fpc.kl with the one from Lineage to get rid of the fingerprint home gesture
What is network connectivity like? On stock my phone frequently has trouble switching between LTE and wifi with most apps complaining about no network connection when I leave the house until I restart them or wait a few minutes. Even though LTE connection in status bar has good signal and appears to work fine; apps just don't recognize the network change until I force them to. I'm looking into custom ROMs to potentially try to fix this issue.
Another thing is randomly disconnecting from my home wifi and having spotty connection despite all other devices in the house working fine, and not having issues with other networks.
Also, is LDAC supported for Bluetooth audio? The stock for some reason doesn't have it despite being Android Pie.
The connection is sweet especially the WiFi my stock rom wifi was so f'ing slow. I never any bugs like the October rom was sweet. It took all day to notice the really doesnt play any sound from a phone call or video or anything. Is anyone else having this problem?
yes of courseplan on picking this phone up today. just to make sure i remember how to use android (been on iphone,) do i root/unlock bootloader, install twrp, then this rom?
okay so ive finally gotten to a point where twrp (official) is installed and i can load into it, but it seems i cant get the flashing the roms steps done properly.
do i flash the copypartitions on slot a then reboot to bootloader/recovery, switch to slot b then flash rom? or is the rom flashed on slot a, and everything else on slot b?
this is so confusing, never had a phone with a/b type of flashes smh
edit: also, if my rom flashes failed, do i have to start from the beginning (install stock then go from there)?

Whats the difference between fastboot -w and just wiping everything in Twrp? That could have been it.. Syber makes the official Twrp as well so dont know if the one in OP is any different
And theres 4 roms btw, Havoc OS has no thread but its on Syber's androidfilehost. Same rgb/display issues as Lineage though
