Develop Bugs

[Rom/Kernel]ZTE N800 AWEsome Rom[V1.0 RELEASED]

*****YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID!
By installing this rom you are accepting any and all responsibility pertaining to bricks, crashes and failure to follow directions! It is YOUR DEVICE! If you are uncomfortable with modifying your phone, LEAVE NOW!*****​
***This is my rom from Androidforums.com I figured I would post it here as well to maybe entice some extra development towards this device. More features are to come and I will update accordingly. ENJOY!***
Your phone is about to be AWEsome!​
This is a custom rom I have been working on for a few weeks. It is a WORK-IN-PROGRESS though there shouldn't be too many (if any) bugs. Updates are expected.
Features:
Based off Stock 4.1.2
Nexus Boot Animation
Rooted
Fully Deodexed/Debloated/Zipaligned
Custom *Working* Kernel featuring OVERCLOCK to 1.8ghz for ALL ZTE AWE PHONES (Fixes Bootloop Issue)
Tweaked Settings Menu *TBA*
Reboot Menu *TBA*
Fast and Smooth
Included Apps:
Apex Launcher (Replaces Stock Launcher)
Android Tuner Free (For Setting Kernel Values)
Cyanogen Calculator (Replaces Stock Calc)
Omni Notes
Superuser
Root Explorer (Replaces Filer)
Terminal Emulator
Wifi Tether *Fixing*
Some apps may have updates, even though I tried to add the latest versions. Chrome, for example, didn't like having the latest version installed by default so I had to use the original.
Removed:
Virgin Mobile Apps
ZTE Updates (Won't Install Anyway)
Stock Browser (Chrome is Default)
Google Play Apps (Books, Movies, YouTube, Games)
TouchPal/Swype Keyboards (Request to Include?)

Unfortunately to remove the System Update that will inevitably try to install (but will fail because of the Deodex) I had to include FOTAKill. This also, however, disables updating the PRL/Profile updates too. Sorry, I'm trying to find a workaround.
TO DO:
Customize Settings Menu (Stated Above)
Fix PRL/Profile Updating
Fix Wifi Tether App (Stated Above)
Add Reboot Menu (Stated Above)

I tried the new rom from two different downloads and neither one worked. Because I forgot to leave the Debugging on on the phone I had to install with a sideload which seemed to go ok but I'm stuck in the reboot. I also didn't load the recovery rom to the phone so I can't get it back to where it was. The sideload doesn't work with the recovery rom. Keeps failing whereas the new rom loads but doesn't work. I'm currently trying to find another ROM that will work or a copy of the original ROM on the phone.

i replied to you on the AndroidForums post you had. sorry bout that, but that will fix you up

Live wallpapers?
Hey really good ROM, but i missed the live wallpapers. I was wondering if you could include them or figure out another way so that i could have them.
Thank You!

bootloop
Hi, I followed your instructions on your youtube video exactly. youtube /watch?v=q8XKp9vEXaY
The last step says to reboot the phone. When I did that it went into a bootloop. When I hold down the power and volume down button it goes to the android system recovery instead of the cwm recovery.
I used the files attached to your youtube video ( the 4shared files)
but I'm kinda wishing I would have seen this thread first and used the files in this thread.
Anyway, do you know of anyway to save my phone?!?! And stop it from the bootloop?
Thanks!

Never mind I figured it out. Thanks!

Phone camera not working on my ZTE N800
I flashed my ROM with out any problems and now my phone boot fine, no more boot-loops!
Everything seems to be working except the Camera, When I try to use the Camera, it just locks up, then reboots.
How can I fix the Camera from not working?
Thank you.

2017 security patches for 5.1.1 stock rom?

Hi there. Has anybody built a ROM with the following specs?
- based on stock 14.6.A.1.236 (android 5.1.1)
- pre-rooted
- all security patches added, e.g. patches for those 10 critical bugs that have just been fixed

It is not stock but aosp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/rom-jaguar-amami-lp5-1-1-r37-hardened-t3396713
In Jaguar you get all the patches within 1 or 2 days. I am using it atm.

Alright, I just switched to Jaguar.
But it wasn't easy. Dual recovery with Philz & TWRP 2.8.x defended itself very persistently. Installing TWRP 3.0.2 had no effect - neither in recovery partition nor in FOTA kernel. Even the uninstall zip of dual recovery couldn't wipe TWRP 2.8.x, although the script said it had run successfully. So I kept installing images into different partitions in fastboot mode (which was the only mode that kept working all the time). In the end TWRP 3.0.2 suddenly appeared after 3 hours.
In Jaguar it was also a bit fiddling to get AFWall+ working. Optimumpro's dowload has a rather old version, which kept blocking all traffic. But after removing it and installing the current v2.9.1 it worked. Now I've installed all apps I need. Everything seems to work except for Gmail. That one always crashes on start. Its background process also steadily crashes, so every other minute I see a popup that tells me "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped". Clearing cache and data has not solved the problem. Stopping sync had no effect either. Maybe re-installing the gapps.zip in TWRP will help...

I also had problems to install TWRP 3.0.2 persistantly. My solution was to install Philz TWRP 2.8 and inside TWRP 2.8 I flashed 3.0.2. After that only 3.0.2 TWRP was available.
OptimusPro pointed out that Internet is only working if you allow apps in AFWall.

I switched AFWall+ from white-listing to black-listing and put nothing on the list, so currently everything can access the internet. And that's also what I tried in the older version of AFWall+, but it didn't work there.
One more question: where did you find the zip (for installation in recovery) of TWRP 3.0.2? I can only find img files for installation with fastboot.

I think in optimuspro version he disabled it?
you do not need a zip. In TWRP 2.8 go to INSTALL and there should be a button "Install Image" Then you can load and flash an img file.

Oh, I didn't know that you can flash img files in some recoveries. However the only partition I can select in TWRP for installation is /boot. Well, I proceed with the installation just for the fun of it... (some minutes later)... and yes, it has really overwritten /boot. That's not where a recovery belongs.
Anyway, now I can hopefully solve my problems. I use a lot of Google applications, but I guess I took a package that overwrote some files in /system that are not compatible with the rest of optimuspro's ROM. So I just flash everything again, but this time with a smaller gapps package. Let's give "micro" a try...
edit: No, that was not the solution. Gmail is still crashing.

Which opengapps version are you using?
I use arm, 5.1, pico. And then I just download the gapps from the play store.
I do not have gmail account, so I cannot test gmail. It is strange that it is not working. I meand it is just a mail app or is it so deep diving in the system?

First I tried gapps "stock". Now I see that this package was too big, because it not only installed a bunch of apps I don't need, it also removed SlimPie launcher, the camera app, and the mail app that comes with Jaguar. I guess it also removed some more apps... probably every app that could be replaced by a Google app.
Now in the 2nd run I used gapps "micro". It looks like none of the Jaguar apps have been removed. Gmail still came with the gapps package, but now it has been installed side by side with the mail app that comes with Jaguar. The same for the launcher. And of course I had to install some apps in play store (e.g. maps), which were not included in the package.
Well, I'm not sure if I like the Jaguar ROM. Sure it has the right priorities. But aside from gmail I might have found some more problems. I installed Automate in order to automatically turn on/off wifi when coming home/leaving home. Turning wifi off (and using cellular data) works fine, but when coming home and wifi is being enabled AFWall+ blocks wifi traffic. So far I could manage to unblock wifi only by activating/deactivating airplane mode (or rebooting of course). And there might be problems with WhatsApp as well. Sometimes I don't receive messages until WhatsApp has been opened. Maybe the background process doesn't run or it is not able to receive data, even over wifi. Maybe AFWall+ is blocking traffic again... or some security defaults are blocking WhatsApp. I don't know. Threema doesn't seem to have the same problems, it works very well on Jaguar.

Whats App is working for me withour problems. And AFWall+ runs normal.
But yeah, I would say that custom roms are always trickier than stock roms. But for me Jaguar is the only rom where I can say, that I am on best security level. So I can live with the issues I have.
I realized that I need to do the gps fix which is mentioned in th main thread.

Custom Lollipop ROM without Bloatware and minimal Google apps/services

Hello everyone
I am new to flashing/rooting a android phone. I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, Kernel 3.4 (I think), Version 14.6.A.1.236. I want to customize it to get a better battery life and most importent to rid of bloatware and as many google services as possible but Google Play Store.
I first unlocked the bootloader by following Sony's own guide using commandline in a "mini adb/fastboot installation" on a W7 pc. Check...
Then I flashed a TWRP v2.8.70 again by commands in the same "mini adb/fastboot installation" Check...
Then I got black screen but the phone was up and running. Then I flashed a image found here on this site: [UB ONLY] [kernel] Root, init.d support, Recovery & Busybox for 14.6.A.0.368 and I was up and running again with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, Kernel 3.4 (I think), Version 14.6.A.1.236. (dont know why though)
Then I got the phone rooted by entering TWRP and installing SuperSU. Check...
Now it runs normal and I can also boot into TWRP by pressing volume up when Sony logo pops up on the screen. So I think i am good?
Now my goal is get my phone to run smooth with no bloatware, minimal google services and better battery time and all this in that order.
Now I know that I problably can get this by uninstalling most of the bloatware and google services with for an example Titanium and then disable running services not needed with for example Servicely.
But I really want to learn to flash custom roms, but as a newbie I am afraid to to something wrong with all the talk about kernels and so on.
So my questions is as follows.
1. Is there a custom Lollipop rom (I guess a ROM is both kernel and OS(android version)), I can flash using TWRP, that is without bloatware and minimal Google services? would appreciate links directly the the ROM's you have in mind please
2. If there is such a ROM, I guess it should be put on a SD card that I can put in the phone and access when in TWRP?
3. Such a ROM I guess should be the same kernel and android version which is the same as the stock version that the phone has now?
4. The order is what?
1. Make a factory reset
2. Enter TWRP
3. Make a backup of kernel image, System and data to a SD card
4. Then wipe 1. Dalvik Cache, 2. System, 3. Cache, 4. Data
5. Then Flash Custom ROM image from SD card
6. Reboot
5. What are the potential dangers here?
I know there problably is a lot of former threads with the same subject, but in my search I quickly got lost in the abbreviations you guys use, so my hope is that you will bear with me. Also this is not my native language, so please excuse any misspelling. Any help are appreciated and thanks in advance

to debloat your rom,just use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161
and you re pretty much done.
as for google services,my opinion is let them untouched.

Global Stable 11.0.3.0 Android 10

Global Update is there.

For those who installed it already, give us some feedback.. and one question, should factory rested be done before or after installing update? What is better, because i never did reset before, just apply update, but now would like to do reset also..

Works fine without reset. Smartphone was very hot during update. After installation I made a reboot. All Apps are working and Dark Mode is now available for most Apps.

This update broke my GooglePay, no longer passing ctsProfile in safetynet.

Seems to work fine. Before this update I was getting more and more bugs, but they seem to be gone now. Rebooting after the update took a long time, however. I was stuck on the Mix logo for 5-10 minutes.
There are some visual tweaks here and there, but that's all I can notice.

Themes available, region uk!

Latest update has caused my home launcher to crash. Am only able to use it cause of 3rd party launcher.

Does Magisk patched boot work with this? I was stuck a boot screen for over 10 mins before I had to reflash stock boot.img.
*update*
I had an out of date version of exposed installed that caused boot loop.

I can't install work email, and because my phone is CN region, of course, Google Pay not working. Not sure if boot options for the kernel changed, going to look and see if I need to update my flashable patcher zip.

Not with the latest stable version. Take a look here so solve your problem: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2492#issuecomment-593149828

Any updates on anyone getting magisk to work on this? Can I use magisk patch with just the boot.img extracted from the OTA update .zip file?
I have the international not a china model.

Anybody found a solution for viper4android? I tried rootless 2.7 but driver will not install.

Magisk works.
But my ctsProfile fails on the safetynet.
Rendering GooglePay and PokemonGo unusable, which wasn't an issue for me before.
Also am international model.
After this update,
I was struggling to boot TWRP at first,
But my issue stemmed from trying to use adb / fastboot commands to boot into TWRP recovery, which only took me to stock recovery.
I got my Magisk back by doing a "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img"
And then manually used the volume up + power button to boot TWRP (I used the unofficial mauronofrio)
And from there just install the Magisk zip.

Just went through this process myself and came back here now to report on it.
This was my process for anyone also looking for guidance.
This will work for the new android 10 updated. I came from MIUI10 (10.0.3.2.0) using system update to go to MIUI11 and android 10 (11.0.3.0) via OTA update, which reverted to stock recovery and obviously lost root as well.
1. Saved most recent twrp 3.3.1-7-recovery.img for perseus by mauronofrio found in these XDA threads, magisk 20.3.zip found on magisk site and repository, and just to be sure disable forced encryption-treble.zip (just search for it) to my phone AND adb directory on Windows 10 computer.
ENSURE USB IS PLUGGED INTO 2.0 or 2.0 COMPATABILE HUB (Flashing recovery failed when connected to a USB3.0 port) and ADB/FASTBOOT is installed on your computer.
2. Booted into fastboot. (Power + Volume down)
3. Ran cmd.exe and entered "cd C:/(wherever you installed/platform-tools" without quotes.
4. Entered "fastboot devices" to ensure fastboot is connected. It should show device_id# and fastboot next to that.
5. Flashed TWRP3.3.1-7 for MiMix3 perseus (latest unofficial TWRP) by entering "fastboot flash recovery twrp3.3.1-7-recovery.img"
6. Entered "fastboot reboot recovery" the phone will reboot now, ENSURE YOU HOLD VOL+ ASAP or you will lose TWRP with stock recovery.
7. After booting into TWRP, entered password, wiped data and cache only.
8. In TWRP go to install and choose your disable_forced_encryption-treble.zip and flash it but do not select reboot device, it is selected by default.
(NOTE: Don't know if #8 is a necessary step especially for Global devices but did it anyways and it didn't hurt anything)
9. Go to install again and choose magisk20.3.zip, this time you can select reboot device.
10. After completing android setup download magisk manager 7.5.1 from play store and verify 20.3 is installed, if it is then congrats, you're rooted.
That's it! Like the above post said ctsProfile is reading false meaning you most likely will not be able to use Pay apps like Google Pay, etc.
Other apps that use google play services for verification may not work as well like Pokemon GO, Mario Kart, Harry Potter, or other banking/security apps. (Not sure about this one yet, try MagiskHide in the manager. Spyke180 is reporting above they do not work currently.) So if you can't live without Samsung Pay, or one of these games wait until a ctsProfile:true/SafetyNet passes solution is available.
Hopefully the next magisk update or someone in the community will be able to solve these issues in a timely manner, shouldn't be much of a wait.
Hope this made sense and can help some peeps out there perhaps.

CTSProfile is failing on my device as well. I tried using the boot cmdline patcher I made and it's still failing. I am wondering if Xiaomi released this update before getting the fingerprint in the CTS approved list. I can't think of anything else. My device is a CN device, so the BL is unlocked. I don't know if flashing Magisk with CN device and Global software still results in a boot loop but may try it.
Also, Magisk is detected through some methodology. I read all the posts made in both the release and beta threads in the last 3 days and it seems broken for everyone.

MMS stopped automatically sending and receiving on Google Messages app. But somehow works flawlessly on stock texting app. Notification tells me "Can't send MMS message. Tap to allow MMS messaging on (Carrier) when mobile data is off". Tapping the notification yields nothing. Even a factory reset does nothing.

If you go into settings, and then to "SIM cards & mobile networks", is the "Always receive MMS" toggle in the on position (blue)?

Yep. Both in system settings and also in the app settings. Tried turning one on and the other off in different combinations, but still doesn't work.

I see.
If you're rooted, you could try using the systemize module to make it a system app.
I verified my Google Messages and its notifications are working for me, even with both Wi-Fi and mobile data turned off.

until we get a 64 bit kernel, it'll stay 32. i want to build a 64 kernel cause i want to bring ubuntu touch to this phone, that requires a 64 bit boot image, if we are to use erfan's (only method for android 9 devices rn)

Thanks man.
Managed to get magisk working with this rom..alongside twrp
Simply install latest magisk canary APK (284). Give it super user when it asks and restart the app
Then when clicking install...it gave me option of direct install (make sure recovery is selected). It should install successfully
I then rebooted to bootloader and to get to twrp hold volume up after selecting recovery and dont hold anything to boot back to Los..
Can't share my boot image if that helps anyone

I gave it a try. It did indeed let me patch directly. It was very unstable. Things asking for su multiple times and not remembering my choice, certain modules not installing, and I always seemed to lose root entirely after rebooting

yup... sorry, forgot to post... I assumed it was after installing modules.

Lockscreen not work for me, in all gsi roms.
Only stock works.

rom works great, feels like a new phone.
model XT1952-4.
not working unfortunately is the FM radio.
based on the error message when trying to install FM apps, it looks like the kernel driver was not included in the rom?
I can deal with the fingerprint not working, it would be really nice to get the FM driver included so I don't have to use data.
Overall the phone is so much better with this rom, Thank You!!!!

Hi, probably a stupid question, considering I'm new: what does this differ from the Lineage OS instructions for Moto G7 Play at their web site? I mean, why shouldn't I stick with their instructions?
I just want to understand what is at stake here (again, I'm new at this world of smartphone os's)
I'm really interested in replacing Android (which I like, but it's... Google ) and all carrier bloatware stuff by a free OS.
EDIT: Nevermind. I've just realized that it isn't for the G7 Play, it's for G7 only. Sorry about this (maybe useful for other newbies like me)

Thanks for all the work
Everything seems stable been using on daily driver for 2 days now. Only issue is bluetooth audio not working. I'm wondering if the Motorola face unlock app would work however current version isn't available.

I'm using this on a Moto g⁷ Play in the USA, currently it's pretty stable. As for what's at stake, you lose access to Bluetooth audio, fingerprint & faceunlock unless you have SD card formated as portable storage and manage to get magisk working. There's a fix for Bluetooth Audio with magisk or ADB but I don't remember what the command was. Also as for magisk you should be able to fix atleast faceunlock because Motorola uses an app for it.

Thank you very much for sharing. I await your further results if any new issues arise to proceed with installing Lineage OS 17

Good job with the notch feels good to swipe down properly I’m encountering a issue the captive login appears to be broken I can’t sign into any WiFi’s that need a portal entry the portal screen doesn’t come up also I found how to get magisk to work properly With twrp u need the newest canary version and u have to patch directly (have recovery option enabled) which u use the root of this rom to achieve that after that backup boot image in twrp which will leave it with the magisk patched and twrp after reinstall the rom remove the phh root and restore yeh boot image in twrp and reboot to recovery from twrp and install magisk manager just note it’s lineage that makes magisk act up hence certain apps not obtaining root is lineage fault cause with another GSI like havoc which this method works for also (works with all GSIs to my knowledge) there no root app issues or modules not working just noticed that on lineage

phone no longer working because of trying to install magisk but I'll be trying to fix with LMSA and then using @PoochyX's instructions tomorrow
Edit: LMSA is now Rescue and Smart Assistant, I just tried to restore it with this but it needs to be on stock firmware to restore.

Why not just boot into bootloader mode and fast boot stock firmware to recover your device ?

Hi,
From your experience which GSI is better for MOTO G7 Play 1952-2:
Havoc or Lineage ?

It depends on what u trying to do exactly if u a heavy Magisk user u want to stay away from lineage and use havoc since magisk plays well with it if u don’t care about magisk and just want a simple root then this rom be a good experience for other then rom WiFi portal issues this rom it’s excellent cause it’s the only one with the notch fix if that fix was easily implemented out this rom and could be used with another GSI that would of been fantastic...

Thank you for your reply.
I favor stability and performance over Magisk.
In my case, do your recommend Lineage as my best option to try?
