(nom nom nom)
Full Disclosure
This is my first android project, so go easy on me.
Project Status
It's usable as a phone
So any willing beta testers are welcome to join the 'fun' and report further bugs.
Project !Status
mobiledata works but will drain your battery
(if you need to use it, reboot after switching it off)
libaudio is not fully functional
(stock has no mic unless in a call and custom has no speaker)
USB only works in mtp mode
(mass_storage mode appears to be incompatible with rmt_storage)
FM Radio not available
(required apps are currently not compiling)
Camera (front) appears unstable
(didn't bother to check what might be the cause)
TODO
[high priority]
fix libaudio (recording in stock or speaker in custom)
[medium priority]
fix libril -> mobile data drains the battery
[low priority]
enable apps2sd -> 2GB internal should suffice for the time being
check if cm supports proximity & light sensors -> they do work fine
fix mass_storage -> mtp is working
fix video recording -> it's a phone not a camcorder
fix video playback -> at least they are running
fix camera -> it's a phone dammit
find a better fix for wifi -> it works for now
fix graphical glitches

(My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas.)​

What are the requirements ? I guess I should use the only recovery available for the device ? and also, since we don't have s-off working for this device I think we have to flash the boot.img right ?

I'd recommend using the recovery from this build for the job. It won't crash unlike the philz version.
And no, you don't need to flash boot seperately. The only requirement is an unlocked bootloader.
S-ON only protects hboot and radio from flashing so you can safely install this release from the recovery.
Don't forget to backup your current system.

I'm downloading the files now, will test and report ASAP

Can i promote this in 2 german Forums? ist German translation available?
when do you think you will fix wifi?
HUGE THANKS IN FORWARD FOR COMPILING CM!

After the experiment:
the Rom stable and fast, but Wi-Fi does not work and do not contain FM radio
Front camera not working
I wish you success in your work and I hope you update the version of Android to be higher than 4.1.2
Thank you very much ..

In which way will PhilZ CWM crash? will it still install the rom or not? will it brick my phone?

Ah yes FM. It's included in the custom libaudio that can't connect to the speaker.
Which I currently simply replace with the stock lib to make it work as a phone so it can be used to test battery consuption etc.
Sadly the cm apps used for fm won't compile for me. So even if I get libaudio working FM would still be untestable without non cm apps.
I'll add it to the todo once the libaudio trouble is resolved.
The wifi is an annoying issue. I manged to get it to load the drivers so the p2p0 socket gets created.
But it tries to restart it as STA which if my google fu is correct it shouldn't do, since this firmware does not need restarting.
The front camera is a curious bug. It works absoluetly fine for me until I point it towards my face.
So it's either a problem with the proximity sensor or the nasty htc camera tries some facial recognition crap and dies.
If I ever decide to logcat the camera I can tell you more.
Now for a higher version, don't get your hopes up. At least not from my side.
First I'll try my best to fix this up. Then I'll wait for htc to release the kernel so I can get a closer look at the configuration
for this device and maybe adjust it to make this rom even better. Then again the last kernel I compiled was 10 years ago for a gentoo install.

If you are quick it will install fine. So if you prefer to live dangereously, don't let me stop you
I don't know if it is only an error that is presented on my device. Or maybe it was updated since then.
But for me philz recovery by SPSPawn does boot into a dead state. If you reboot it will crash until a panic reset is triggered.
Actually it is allready crashed while you are in recovery. Therefore you are on a timer until the device resets or you decide to
take out the battery.
I had the same problem on my build and it was caused by cwm always ignoring the ueventd.rc I had prepared because I didn't know
I had to copy it to root and not to recovery.
I've never bothered to figure out which missing element of this script was responsible because I had to substitute it in any case.
But honestly, tell me. Why do you prefer philz? I'm allready (so far unsuccessfully) trying to port twrp. If you have a few good arguments
I might be willing to try compiling a fixed version of philz aswell.

Well i didnt want to use a pc right now ... A TWRP port would be amazing
Is mobile data working?
Can you make your recovery flashable via cwm?

It always tried to download the google language pack for my region until I aborted it. So, yes mobile data should be available.
You mean put the recovery into an update zip thingy, right. Well I could, but you will have used a pc before I'll find the time to upload it.
I'll keep it in consideration for the next update.

Well, atleast internet
When do you think you'll fix wifi?

Regarding to wifi, it will be fixed once it's fixed. Or if you prefer the usual response: When it's done.
This will happen either after or before libaudio is fixed. And that's about as specific as I can get.

Well, it was worth a try still thanks for your effort!

Okay, here goes.
First I tried installing the ROM with the PhilZ recovery because I already had it on my phone, didn't work. Gave me some kind of error (not sure about the error code anymore). Flashed your recovery, worked flawlessly. Now for the ROM.
It's pretty stable, I've had only one strange crash and that was in the first 2 minutes of using it so I don't even know if it counts. The additional CM settings panel works fine, quick toggles are ok, I haven't tried overclocking yet - I'll leave that to someone else. But I have found some bugs:
-proximity sensor not working (screen doesn't go black when you place it up to your ear)
-ambient light sensor not working (auto brightness doesn't work)
-video recording doesn't work
-the camera app glitched up the first time I tried to zoom (was fine afterwards)
-sometimes when going from portrait to landscape I got 1 second of weird graphical glitches
-signal indicator seems to be stuck at 2 out of 4 bars and doesn't move
Overall very nice, keep up the good work!

I guess wifi isnt working for you right?

It's not working, but I didn't put it on the list since he already knows it's bugged.

Well, i'll try today
Lets see what happens

Anyway, forgot to unpack the file ... GApps come with it?
SOOO, booting went fine, working like a charm... quicksettings page not available, quicksettings bar is working properly
Mobile Data works flawless, and i guess the rest is just fine
German language worked instantly
it feels way faster then Sense, a HUGE Thanks for you, makes me actually like that phone again ...
I'd like to promote it in German forums if i WiFi is fixed in near future
regards!

No, you have to get gapps on your own. Since there are multiple options you can choose for yourself. But if you did not format system,
as I've mentioned in the install instructions, chances are high that google apps did get picked up by the install script.
I am not sure if it can take them from the stock rom but it can and will take them from a cm rom and keep them on reinstall.
(I am really not very pleased by this behavior!)
I also should have mentioned that the primary language is decided by the simcard. (Which is annoying since I prefer english in any case)
Randnotiz:
Es freut mich das ich Dir den Spass am Gerät zurückgeben konnte.
Natürlich darfst Du es in deutschen Foren weiterverbreiten sobald die gröbsten Fehler behoben sind.
Einzige Vorraussetzung ist, daß Du es nicht als Deine Arbeit ausgibst.

Wow. That's much more broken than I expected it to be. Kudos.
Regarding the sensors. I currently am using the stock lib. And logcat let's me assume that they are working as they should.
(i.e they don't crash or drift into madness afaik)
Maybe the stock lib doesn't play well with cm, or you are expecting features from cm that are not implemented.
I will definetly try to compile a working sensor lib in the future, so I guess we'll see....
Camera is also just the stock lib for now. So it's no surprise that somethings might be acting up.
I need a lot of research into that subject before I can specify the requirements for the camera in my boardconfig.
The graphical glitches are rather minor and can be ignored for now. I am aware they exist.
But for now I'd rather focus on the more prominent broken features.
Like wireless for those of us that can't or won't use mobile data. (I belong to the 2nd group)
I noticed the signal indicator aswell. but that should be a problem of the radio compatibility.
We can't flash radio and I'm using the stock libril as the radio interface which should give maximum compatibility in theory.
Of course it doesn't irl... typical -_- (I hate you, Murphy!)

Why did you remove your avatar? I really wanted to make some "stop trying to kill spoderman" remark...

Does anyone have any clue how to use the mock locations for gps? They are enabled, but so far I couldn't find any way to set them to a specific location.

I’m trying also this rom. That appear really interesting.
1)Not so important ,I found that the clock don’t show the AM-PM symbols (nor after reboot and cache cleaned)
2)Maybe a little more important . The contacts.apk or the app designed to do that , cant import contacts from extSDcard. The pop-up search just in internal SD.
I tried to use the cyanogenmodX contacts.apk where this work but of curse contacts stop working at all.

About the clock...there is an option to do it, works fine here.
The contacs app dont have the feature you ask for...so you have to put your contacts backup in the internal sd for a bit....and then copy again to the external, its not that hard.
Im no longer working in dirty unicorn cuz the real devs are working on Lollipop and wont release any updates for kitkat...

Tnx ,
I have done exactly like you have said for the contacts in first instance.
The option for PM-AM was selected but nothing happen (rebooted and cleaned cache). Strange, i have flashed the rom 2 times after full wipe. Is not a real problem...was just for report it.
Thanks for the support.

Nope, clean rom. Nothing is installed over total-commander for menage the files as i like.
I learned that before i must test the rom for what it is and then put over it all the apps that i need and check all work fine before add more apps. In the past i have done the mistake to put a mess of apps that makes me crazy for found the reason of the FCs.
So , there is just the rom.
Or i select "small character", or i select "normal character" nothing change close to the clock. Also after reboot and cleaned cache.
I try just for to be sure the 3rd flash and was the same.
Have you maybe some suggestion on how to change the clock style? I mean in 24h format. also AM Pm is good but didnt work.
Is not so relevant but im trying to refine the installation for found a more definitive rom for daily use.

changing icon size feature?
thank you so much for this awesome rom.
I hv been using MoKee & nw permanently shifted to DU...
anyways.... i ws looking for changing the size of icons.cuz i m using 'L' theme whose icons r too big.
MoKee had option "USE SMALL ICONS"... do we hv something like that in DU?

Galaxy Note 2 Proximity Sensor Showing Dim Red Light
Those are not questions. Like before, just an advisory.
1) Settings>>>Dirty Tweaks >>> Lockscreen >>> Misc. Tweaks>>> lockscreen notifications>>> WAKE ON NOTIFICATION. This cause a dim red light remain active in proximity sensors during lockscreen.
This is absolutely reproducible and persistent. In clean rom and in modified rom.
This make me almost crazy. I thought was because the devil kernel. Someone speak about infrared , someone in stock rom about smart-stay and so on. But in this case the reason is totally different.
After have back-upped all the system i tried to put the clean rom just without and with devil kernel and nothing occur . So i supposed was a setting or apps matter. And I find it out.
2) Enabling the above WAKE ON NOTIFICATION make disabled also if selected the Setting>>> Display>>> "Notification light" . I had experienced that if you turn off and on , the notification light start work again. (with persisting of the ted light in lockscreen)

Yep, i suppose that. But in that case the sensor is not active. If I pass the finger on it nothing happen.
Is not , in this case, the wake-up of the phone related just to the incoming notification? Always In this case what is need for the proximity sensor?
If I miss some basic knowledge , sorry.

Ok, im using this rom from lots of time. I re-flash it many and many time. (after proper wipe of all the necessary). I can reproduce that the led for notification missed call didnt work properly. It reproduce every time on missed call a very fast double blink of the led (white as default) and hide definitively the light of the notification. The sms notification work fine.
I tried also the only one kernel that work with this version of rom. The Devil kernel. And this occur again (i tried to change some light parameter).
Damn more or less work all fine but not this simple feature.

Sorry people...I have a lot in my life...so I cant make new builds for this rom...there is a new v8.2 but I cant work on that (dont have the time) and I cant make a L version of DU for the same reason. But this is AOSP so if anyone want to do it...go on!
Cheers

This ROM sounds promising, however every other AOSP ROM gives error with Bluetooth phone calls. Can anybody confirm this works okay in this ROM please?

Gapps
Gapps link has a problem.

Couldn't get it to work properly
Tried everything to get it to work, kept on giving me two errors -Process com.android.systemui has stopped and - Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped on Android. Tried the 4 different gapps, cleared the cache and dalvik, did factory reset, nothing got me past the error messages.

Loudspeaker and screen rotation

Hi Guys!
I already posted this in the specific SM-G935F thread, but maybe my two problems are not device-specific and some user of other phones had this issues or have an idea what cause my problems.
After searching in the internet and many forums I think that I am the only person in this world, who have this problems.
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F/hero2lte)
Important: These two problems don't occur with the stock rom and everything worked.
I tested this by installing the original samsung rom (Android 6 and 7).
Also with Superman-ROM these problems don't occur.
Only with LineageOS and RessurectionROM (based on Lineage) I have this problems.
What I did (or not):
- ODIN: Installed latest version of TWRP
- TWRP: Installed SuperSU 2.83 and "dm-verity-disabler"
- TWRP: Installed latest LineageOS-Build (Full Wipe) + latest GApps (Pico) + addonsu-arm64
- I did not install any other apps in Lineage
- I did not change any settings
-> I have a clean version of LineageOS on my phone.
Problem 1:
During calls, when I turn on the loudspeakers, I can hear the other person, but I can not be heared by the other person anymore.
Then I turn off the loudspeakers and everthing switches: the other person can hear me now, but I can not hear the other person.
When I'm turning the loudspeakers again it will switch again (I hear the other, I'm not heared).
And so on, and so on ...
Problem 2:
Screen rotation from portrait to landscape mode ONLY works with the gallery and the icons of the camera.
In any other app (Browser, Messages, Settings ...) the screen stays in portrait mode.
And yes, I checked in the settings if screen rotation is active.
I found a solution with the app "Rotation Lock Adaptive", which automatically rotates the screen how it should be.
But that is unsatisfactory, I don't want a additional app to do core-function.
I don't believe the problems occur due hardware issues or what do your think? Beeing on stock rom everything works fine.
Greetz,
Isenberg

Really nobody has an idea what could cause my problems?

I experience the exact same problems. Flashed lastest stock-firmware (excluding system & data) and the latest official lineage os.
Sometimes rotation works, but most the time not.

⚠️ I need help ⚠️ (Camera issue)

I'm on MIUI 10 (10.3.4 miui.eu) stable oreo
rooted with magisk 19.1 stable
kangarooX Kernel 3.4 stable oc
Now everything works just fine, but I'm facing weird problem with cam on all messenger apps like (Telegram - Skype ...), when I'm trying to take a photo or make a video call the cam preview (what i see on my side) is flipped cam view! Even when i hold my phone in vertical way and auto rotation is off!. I tried everything (trun on/off cam2api - used multi cam fix module - clear cache from recovery - clear cam app data - reflash rom - edit some cam-related values on whyred.xml ....)
Can anyone help me to fix this problem please ?

As you haven't mentioned, I ask: Does this also happen with the stock kernel of Miui? You tested with custom roms (AOSP)?
