RP2-specific fixes/updates with 9.0 update?

[Gamesoul Master]

To those who have updated to Android 9.0, have you seen any improvements/fixes specific to the RP2? I know many of us have noted issues with the speakers (notably at lower volumes) and the camera software (mostly fixed by using Gcam), although there's been other more isolated/random issues for some too (Bluetooth, cellular signal, etc).

I haven't done extensive testing, but I do nelieve the small issues I've had with the speakers at low volumes are fixed. The only issue that I've seen in the last couple days I've had pie is that my wifi will randomly stop being able to access the internet, but turning wifi off and on fixes it and mostly a minor inconvienence. It's probably worth noting that I have Magisk with many modules installed.

Hangouts doesn't give a notification sound when the app isn't open. I've made another thread about that earlier

Never mind. Had to go deep into Hangouts settings to fix it. Still annoying

I would willingly trade fully functional wifi for speakers that don't crackle and cut out at lower volumes, since I have unlimited data and solid LTE signal everywhere I go. Though I've had that wifi issue on rare occasion on Oreo too.

They moved the clock :'(

Anyone notice potential decrease in touch sensitivity after the upgrade? I had a screen protector on and it seemed like I need to push down a little more to get the touches to register. Took off the protector to test and it was fine with just the screen. Put another one on and occasionally touches aren't registering or registering but releasing early on swipes.

How do you unlock your bootloader, bro? How did you root your phone?

Follow the guide here, it's what I used to get everything under way. As long as you didn't install the latest OTA that dropped last week.

Nah, you're good now. Warrior's thread (which the post I gave you directly references) has the updated boot image for MR1 (which is what you're on now), so just use that and you should be fine.

Oh! And turn off any unlock security (PIN, fingerprint, etc) you may have on before doing it. Just to be safe. You can turn it all back on when you're done rooting.
