[Miustone]

WELCOME TO THE SNAPPATCH​

[ Featured by DroidViews and XDA ]​

SOME THINGS ARE DIFFERENT TO THE AOSP SNAPPATCH
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RIGHT VERSION FOR YOUR DEVICE / ANDROID OS VERSION AND VARIANT​

ABOUT THE PROJECT​

Started on the Nexus 6, Years ago is the Patch the Result of evolving custom ROMs to something more. Instead of uploading My Changes combined with a OS, is the POM just delivering the wanted Edits. It can be applied on top of any OS, and makes Android Updates independently from My Work. The latest and already 5th Revision of the POM is called Snappatch, and made for Snapdragon Xperia Devices running the very latest AOSP Systems. Coming with a huge amount of exclusive Configs and Optimizations is the Patch unleashing Your Device on a unexpected Way. You will raise the Performance, Efficiency, and Quality of the whole System, besides adding Features and Services which are not available on unpatched AOSP ROMs. The POM comes also with a Rooting Solution, Busybox and the full set of needed GApps to provide a great Pixel like Experience with the barely minimum of needed Apps out of the Box. Based on 8 Years of research and testing, made with Passion! The Snappatch sets Quality over Quantity...
Already adapted by Others for Stock Firmwares is the Snappatch still the first and Original Patch System. You will face it all over XDA in the next Years! Be Part of the Patch Revolution, get Patched!​

This looks great!
I have the 7.1 Yoshino kernel AOSP so I can have the Dynamic Resolution Switch and enjoy native 4K.
I also have Daydream enabled and installed the normal hack way,but it's a bit jittery for head tracking compared to my Axon 7.
Can someone tell me if this will work with 7.1, or if I'll still be able to enjoy true 4K with an 8.1 ROM and this patch? The VR services sound good, along with everything else. Otherwise, I guess I'll just keep waiting for @kholk to finish setting up the DRS on 8.1.

Did you try this?
It'll be native 4k and AOSP 8.1 but you'd be stuck with it (can't switch to 1080p) which I don't see as problem. Also bootanimation will go weird, but after display off and on once boot is finished everything is fine.

 

[gaijin1%]

Yes! the switch is native and adb is emulated, which means resized images usually from the lower resolution xxhdpi folders rather than the higher resolution xxxhdpi folders.

Can't believe I missed that one. I guess now the question is which one to go for? Is this STOCK version also native 4K full time like the AOSP version?

It has nothing to do with the patch but with the kernel. I simply built a rom that works great with the Snappatch AOSP version, not the other way round. [emoji3]
And no native 4k always with stock. I really prefer AOSP. It's just slimmer, greater and quite debloated from the beginning.

So if you got the switch working, do the screen pixels look more glued? Cuz here i can still see pixels on the adb commands
And is 120hz working yet?

I don't know what you mean by glued, but with my Daydream headset and 20/20 vision the pixels seem like a horizontal wavy zig-zag.
Basically, the emulated adb will enlarge an image from 1080 and give you a 4-block of the same pixel. Worse, if the image is actually for example 1440p, it will first scale it down to 1080 blurring it a bit, then take the blurred image and resize it to 2160p.

And 120hz option does it work?

I don't think it's works

Cant I flash twrp on locked bootloader??
I mean we are working with stock fw and a patch flashed in twrp,no kernel modification. All stock...

The Kernel is edited and patched with Magisk. No chance that it works on Locked Bootloaders (Before unlocking them). But You can maybe lock it after flashing to hide the 5Sec Message after turning the Device on.

Just use "fastboot oem lock" and "fastboot oem unlock" commands. Don't recommend it and i don't try it out by myself, but maybe does it work. Would be good to know since Stock is passing SafetyNet (Device thinks it is unmodified)

Btw. @super_extreme nice work with AOSP! Are Your Builds passing SafetyNet too with the AOSP Patch? Carbon doesn't but that also the case without Patching...

(Damn i'm breaking My promised silence on XDA! Can't resist to talk to My Users

So with saftey net the device thinks its unmodified, why would it be a problem?

 

[william84]

Google play services crashed during set-up and only blackscreen, no way to finish set-up.
Followed installation instructions to the teeth:
-flashed stock .145 BLX
-let it boot to set-up
-completely shut down
-flash twrp in fastboot mode
-boot to twrp
-format data and internal storage (encryption error)
-reboot to recovery and wiped everything again (no encryption error)
-again completely power off
-reboot

Uh-oh no more OS... better start again ?

-flashed stock .145 BLX again
-boot to set-up
-completely shut down
-flash twrp in fastboot
-boot to twrp
-now only wiped systeem, cache, data
-reboot to twrp again
-moved snappatch and snapprop to root of internal storage with adb
-flashed snappatch_v101 stock
-reboot

After this the set-up wouldnt let me pass because of the Google play services crash. This crash happend after entering the Wifi-password. There was only a blackscreen and i could see the clock and battery in the upper right corner.
Tried flashing Opengapps micro afterwards butt stil no luck.

Edit: removed my earlier expression of the Rom, isn't helpful or related to this thread

Nope, it's not, but luckily I don't need it to be.
