Still has issues with the camera and youtube and gps.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] coness:
I have read through the posts and am still very confused on a few things:

1) Mach build is very stable. Does that mean that the core functions of the phone work (e.g., incoming and outgoing calls, messaging, etc.)?

2) I still can't figure out what I need to do to flash. I see the git hub code, but I don't know what to do with this.

3) Would you use this version on your primary phone or would you recommend a rom that works w/ android wear?

Can someone please post the latest and be explicit about how do do this? This entire thread is confusing and doesn't help me too much. Would be nice to have a sticky that outlines what to do and where to get latest code/rom. Thanks for helping this NOOB out!
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
Okay, the march build is stable. This means we you can make calls, send messages, and use data.

To flash it you need to use Odin. There's a post on how to do this I believe.

As far as a daily ROM goes I use it every day with very few issues. The only issues I know of is that you need to replace the camera, and you have to change the GPS in settings from high accuracy to device only.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] coness:
Thanks for the inputs! I can figure out how to use Odin easy enough, my problem is I don't quite know where to get the rom to flash via Odin. I must be blind on where to get it....Please let me know what all I need to flash. Please advise where I can get the stable build.

Also, when you say very few issues is that in reference to the camera and GPS or what are you referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] DJBoxer:
Here is the link to unjustified work https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=20214. The camera don't save pics u can replace app with camera MX
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
I use open camera. Its a pretty good one too. Just disable the stock one
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:
1. Yeah the main stuff like calling, texting and data work. You just might experience other problems that aren't as serious but might be bothersome depending on what you do on your phone.

2. The git hub stuff is only for developers. The download link wasn't added to the OP but here's a link to it https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=20366 . Just scroll down and download the mar 19 file which is the latest version of the rom. You'll also need the latest version of twrp which is a custom recovery so you can flash it. Here's a link to an older version so that after you flash that you can flash the latest version http://xdaforums.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2823555. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=20684 Scroll down and download the tar.md5 of version 2.8.4.0.

Once you get the recovery installed and have the rom on your sd card boot into recovery mode (Vol up + Home + power) and you should be able to figure out what to do from there. Just don't forget to do an advanced wipe.

3. Where it's at right now I personally wouldn't use it on my galaxy light since it's also my main phone. If it was a phone that didn't have service I'd probably use it. Also what do you mean a rom that works with android wear?
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] coness:
Now that you mentioned your thoughts on not using this rom, I'm waffling on installing this rom as this is my primary phone. What I want to do pair it with an android smartwatch which requires android 4.3 and above. Sadly, this phone is powerful enough to run higher versions of android, but there's no love from T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:
Yeah I find it weird that the metro pics version which is what I have comes pre installed with Kitkat but there was never an update for the T-Mobile version. Well this rom runs lollipop so it should be able to work with an android watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] coness:
I've seen other threads that say at the top of the post explicitly what is in different versions of roms and what is still to be worked on and lastly what is specifically wrong. I appreciate you guys providing your inputs cuz it is daunting to read through 30 pages of stuff that doesn't tell you exactly what I stated in previuos sentence as well as give you link to the ROM. So, what exactly do you find that prevents you from using this everyday? Also, is there a potential other extremely stable ROM for the t399 that is 4.3+? I couldn't find anything sadly and yes I did search. Thank you again for the inputs!
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:
I know for me I use almost every feature on my phone and I'm very nitpicky about how things are. I always watch youtube videos on my phone since I can't on my computer and the fact that youtube doesn't work just breaks it for me. Now if it was just something like bluetooth or whatever I wouldn't mind.

Well most custom roms use cm as a base so considering we dont have a perfectly stable cm build you won't find any other roms at all. Cm11 and cm12 are the only ones and cm11 was abandoned.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] DJBoxer:
YouTube works in the browser but app from play store plays for few seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] coness:
So I pulled the trigger and my phone keeps randomly rebooting. I can't get to the point of turning off gps or location services. I guess i'll be going back to stock, cuz I don't know how to make this stop!
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] DJBoxer:
After the WiFi setup can you not skip the rest pull down the notification bar and access settings thru that way that's how I managed to continue.plus seen msg from unjustified saying he was going to release new update so you can wait few more days should or possibly been fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] coness:
I tried to skip and pull down menu, but it would always reboot before I could do anything. I'm going back to stock and will wait for Unjustified next release.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] hexcrackerjtj:
Is this rom as stable or greater than the Lightwave rom? I would prefer speed and functionality over features (important features include camera/ video, text, talk, GPS, bluetooth)
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:
Well lightwave is a stock rom so it's more stable. This version of cm12 on your phone is still in development. Cm12 is definitely faster though. The camera and gps require a workaround also some people have issues with calls. Mic problems and stuff. Text works. I don't use bluetooth but I think it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] chapsushi:
Yes, the YouTube issue was frustrating to me. I found an easy workaround, though. Simply skip ahead a few seconds in the video (drag the slider) and hit play. Works every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
Does this work with purchased movies too?
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] chapsushi:
Haven't tried that. But, why not? I would assume purchased content and free content are using the same application, encoding and UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] hexcrackerjtj:
What is the work around for the camera, gps and mic for this rom? Or is that issue still being worked on? It is vital that I have camera and GPS functioning for work.

Side note-- I've been getting "battery disconnected" error recently-- is there a specific resolution to this issue with this phone?

Thank you for the kind guidance.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:
For the camera install camera mx from the play store, for gps change it to battery saver or device only, and for the mic issue which I didn't experience you can make calls through google hangouts.

Also I've never had that battery problem so maybe someone else will know.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
Are you using the 3-19 build? I've also never had any battery or call issue
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] hexcrackerjtj:
Thank you for the kind guidance. I will install the newest version of this rom with the adjustments according to your suggestions and report on my experience momentarily.

/StayTuned
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] coness:
I gave it another try and it took about 10 minutes to get to settings to disable location before automatic rebooting. It will get annoying and you have to be quick before reboot, but it is TOTALLY worth it. This ROM is much better than stock. Only issues I've found are cannot enable GPS, must replace camera and YouTube doesn't work. Everything else is working nicely so far. I can now pair with my moto 360 vs using my Samsung tab. ?

Forgot to mention, you will need to flash gapps. I pulled it down from here and it works perfectly: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] AcreaperJB:
So I made a port from the s3, I don't have the device with me yet (I will on Sat hopefully) but I was wondering if anyone would like to try it? Do a Titanium or twrp/cwm backup first of course. I know it might not fix many problems but i added sensor permissions that may/may not work. Maybe I can inherit some stuff from stock? I know xml, a lil Java among other languages so I may try to tackle that later?

[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
may have found a fix for high accuracy gps reboots

Fix didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
OK can you guys try something for me? Install this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

Keep the GPS on device only. Open the app (must have root enabled to use) and hit the wrench picture. Then hit manage a-gps then hit reset then hit download. Wait until it finishes finding satellites.

Don't kill the app let it keep running in the background.

Now go ahead and set the device to high accuracy.

Does it seem to work? Am I imagining things? Or is this a real work around.

If it is a workaround, the downfall is that you have to turn it back to device only if you restart your device and then do it all over again when the device boots again.

PLEASE let me know if this is working for you too
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kireflow90:
I love this ROM and cant wait to have everything working!! Patiently waiting of course :)
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] xiton:
I haven't kept up with this phone in ages. Can someone update me on the current state of ROMs? Did we EVER get a fully functional non-Touchwiz ROM?

Hopefully one with few to no bugs?

If so, where can I get it or choose from them?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:
I'm assuming you don't have the phone? Well to put it simply we have no roms. There are two tweaked versions of the stock rom for the metropcs version and one tweaked stock rom for the t-mobile version. To answer your question about a functional non touchwiz rom the answer is no. We have cm12 but in my opinion it's not stable enough for daily use and the only dev who was working on it has decided not to anymore so chances are all the bugs will never be worked out unless another dev decides to work on it which I doubt will happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] xiton:
Which is the most stable ROM that I can use right now? This has to be my primary phone for a few months
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:

can't turn on mobile data

Hello. I flashed this ROM smoothly and its very nice ! But I have one problem. I can't turn on mobile data. BTW: my phone is SGH-T399 from T-Mobile but I'm using it on a Philippine mobile network (this phone was openlined here to use philippine sim cards) is that a conflict? But I have signal my only problem is the mobile data..
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:
You may have to add the apn for your phone company.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] hartlezzevolved:
When I add an apn and save it nothing happens. Too bad I really like this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] scala_:
Flashed this rom and just factory reset my phone and now I can't boot up. It also doesn't boot into recovery. I can only go into download mode (ODIN MODE). Tried flashing TWRP through odin mode several times and it just keeps rebooting to a black screen

What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] KageBeast:
For one you shouldnt need to factory reset after flashing the rom. That's why you complete wipe prior to flashing. Try flashing the stock rom in odin then re flash this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] scala_:
got it. flashed stock rom through Odin then flashed TWRP and was able to get into recovery.

Never factory resetting again. Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] @root@:
Could you reupload the recovery (img) ?

(i will play with its init.rc)

"/dev/graphics/fb0" is not mounted properly in the previous recovery. (I tested screen brightness (/sys/devices/platform/s5p-mipi-dsim.0/backlight/panel) it is ok !!)

so, the cause of the problem is "/dev/fb0" not linked to "/dev/graphics/fb0" .
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] shabbypenguin:
Unfortunately the only one who knows what graphics.c worked was smartguy. After he reached out to me on hangouts to assist me with porting CWM and i gave him all the device tree files i had as well as the stock files he figured out what graphics.c was needed to get display working and then blocked me on hangouts and posted it on XDA. Since he never posted source to github (at least as far as I know of) someone would have to go back and redo all the work. I ported TWRP as I knew it handled graphics differently, add to that its the far superior recovery (I'm a bit biased though ;P) so I wouldn't sweat over not having CWM recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] @root@:
Yeah. I missed it

E/HAL ( 1856): dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "_ZN7android10WFDService11instantiateEv" referenced by "hwcomposer.exynos3.so"...

and the HAL code is a missing:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung/tree/cm-11.0

I will try to modify exynos4' hal code to define a new soc "universal3470" . it might work.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Unjustified Dev:
I thought that would work as well but if you open hwcomposer.exynos3.so with an hex editor and search exynos5 you will see a lot of exynos5 so it's not based on 4412 as we thought. I am assuming we are stuck with prebuilt until someone decides to work on the 3470 platform and release the BSP such as insignal

it kind of matches with https://github.com/codewalkerster/android_hardware_samsung_slsi_exynos/tree/5422_4.4.4_master/libhwc

I'm going to assume it was backwards compatible since this is not a exynos5 specific repo but a common samsung one.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] @root@:
Interesting, I have not looked at these .so files hex code.

unluckily, Samsung has only produced 3 devices with exynos3740 (s5 mini, light, SHV-E500L).

I guess not many will try to bulid the HAL code.

Well, I will give it a shot and see if it worked.

BTW,

audio.primary.universal3470.so depends on libsamsungRecord_ns.so --------------------------- and --------------------------- libsamsungRecord_ns.so depends on lib_DNSe_NRSS_ver226.so.

I added the missing file to device tree could you give me a complete log when you pushed the audio file. If you want to try to get it to boot push libmedia from stock 4.4.2 that's where the wfd symbol comes from. It might break other things but it will at least attempt to boot hwcomposer
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] @root@:
replaced libmedia and added libMali.so .

the screen is working :good: but all media services are crashing (android.process.media). (system will reboot frequently)

But, I have to remove lib_DNSe_NRSS_ver226.so to make it boot (permission problem).

I think you need to compile
