Hi ljjehl, hope you're well. Could I please ask if you'll still be supporting the M7?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Sure, I just lack the motivation these days. Every so often I jump onto the Pie version and make some changes and build, but I seem to still have driver issues with the camera. I'm not so sure who all cares for the nougat version anymore, also.

BTW, I didnt realize I was 3 months behind in updates. whew,
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
Fair enough, and I'd understand if you stopped. It is a 7 year old device after all.

I know there are working versions of Pie and Android 10 for the M7 out there, but they do seem to have comparatively more issues than your Nougat ROM.

If you provide another security update, I'd certainly appreciate it, but I wouldn't expect anyone to perform for an audience of one. :laugh:
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Updating as you speak. I’ll send it tomorrow afternoon after work
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
OK, M7 INT/GMS variant has been uploaded to mirrors. I still have both CDMA variants to build and upload, hopefully later tonight

Edit: All variants are now updated in mirrors
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Note to self

My main goal is still to get Pie fully updated with minimal to no bugs. I have a build, but who wants one with no camera? lol I doubt I'll have anything more than pie, due to the fact the team has stopped development past this version. :eek:
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
If it's as smooth as Nougat, then Pie would be great!

In the meantime, it looks like there's at least 5 people here that appreciate your security updates to Nougat, so maybe that's enough to keep the smoothest M7 ROM still going in future? :) :fingers-crossed: :laugh:
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Subtle reminders will be appreciated. Let's me know that folks still need updates, plus I do have other stuff going on, also.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mitchst2:
Let us know when pie needs tested even if the camera hasn't been sorted. New builds always welcome.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
check next post
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Well, I built P version for m7 and added to mirrors. Here's a link HERE, that way I can check interest in what I do.

Yes, camera is broken, I haven't tested a whole lot else, atm. Wifi works at least, lol

Let me know what all is broken, other than the known native Camera. Also if you find something that works to replace native camera, let us know :P

Downloading now

Not gone well so far.

Could be me being rusty but I have just tried lineage 17.1 without issue.

Rom booted

No keyboard at WiFi pw entry

Had to skip that

Setup ended up in a gray screen

Rebooted

Stuck at Google splash screen

Can't get into recovery

Ah...

Powered off no battery charge light or indicator.

Not looking good

Phew

Got recovery eventually and back up on running, just not in pie.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Damn. How did you go south so quick? I hope you wiped system, data, dalvik and cache
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mitchst2:
Yes

Perhaps a bad download but surely that wouldn't even have booted.

Best M7 ROM for battery life? Help me pls
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
The XenonHD Nougat ROM here is pretty good. :good:
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
And it has been updated to March (N) updates.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
Is it supposed to have the same filename as last month (XenonHD-200226-Official-m7.zip)?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Hmm, something broke here. I never did check that it got pushed properly. I'll have to re-try

UPDATE: Done, finally pushed it properly to Mirrors. Sorry for the delay.

bluetooth restarting problem HELP !!!

Hi!

Looking for help to fix the problem with bluetooth htc m7 ul. Bluetooth is turned ON , but when want to send or received anything, bluetooth icon is gone and back in one second. On stock android bluetooth woks fine. Please help me !!!! thanks

Now, is problem to even turn ON bluetooth, not respond. Shows icon only for some time when restarting phone.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] houston_:
Someone tried to use DLNA with this Rom?

I just wanted to use my old m7 as kind of a remote for the TV of my parents, including the DS Video App by Synology for use with my NAS.

But neither airplay nor the DLNA connection are shown, in fact the Screencast button is missing in the app.

Youtube is working, but it is not a DLNA connection, I just tried it for getting any connection to the TV.

BubbleUpnp won't find the device either.

Somebody could try it?

The m7 itself should be DLNA compatible.

Edit: Found the solution... I forgot to switch user which was allowed to stream by using DLNA.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] BasicallyCP:
After years of using your work, I finally donated something, ljjehl. My M7 is still running fine, thanks to you. :)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
THANK YOU!!

Glad to see folks still appreciating what I do for fun. My M7 is still ticking also, so I'll still continue as long as there is a demand.

That reminds me, I need to update again...
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
In case you haven't checked yet, I have an update for N April security. Still in process for May, though.

I am currently revisiting the Pie route again, I hated that i didnt have camera access, but now have a few ideas. Hopefully that works
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Alaadragonfire:
I am amazed that this device still gets development going :) thanks to you and other developers that keeps this device alive!
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Seems I somehow skipped May when I was in hibernation. I have all variants updated to June, though. Have a happy summer!
[One (M7) Original Android Development] wogeboy:
Thanks for the Excellent ROM. I have tired 5 or 6 diff roms in last month (android 8 and 9) and this one is now my daily driver.

Thanks for the work and updates!
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
Belated thanks for the update. ;)

Also for the August update. :)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
LOL. Yeah, I built quickly before I went on vacation. I had forgotten I did that.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Alzhar:
I tried your pie experimental, clean flashing the rom it booted but few seconds the screen goes black the only showing is when press power button it shows the power menu. How to solve it?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
Once again, thanks for the update!
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
And I don't currently have my device, so I could not test this time :(

If any issues, let me know
[One (M7) Original Android Development] KnowledgeSeekerPart2:
Power button isn't working, just blank screen. What's the solution?

Running latest build and flashed with TWRP 3.4 along with open gapps pico.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
Perhaps it'll be working in the next build.

(I don't know sorry, I'm still running 200807.)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Hopefully. I still do not have my device. Hopefully I remember to remind my borrower to give it back, so I can continue the test before release. It's likely the launcher got broken, as I remember something got removed from sources due to some repos becoming obsolete in other sources I pick from.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
I'm not sure yet if the current build I uploaded will work or not, but I did add a launcher in it (Slimlauncher) This launcher used to be in the builds along with the Nova as an option for users in the past. I have a feeling the Nova got broken (Team repo removal) so at least you have a launcher to start, for sure. At this point I added the M7ul upload, so please let me know what version you are having issues with, so I can troubleshoot the issues that arise.

I currently do not have my m7 yet, so I cant test before I release at this time. Currently updated to 10/2020 security
[One (M7) Original Android Development] remusator:
Hello,

please are there any serious bugs with this rom? (yes, I've read the first page :) )

Does the bluetooth work?

Is the loudspeaker bug still present? (when call quit while on loudspeaker, voice doesn't work until restart)?

How is the battery life on this? Idle/screen on time?

I'm looking for replacement of my 5.1.1 official Lollipop with buggy bluetooth. Recently my favourite apps stopped support for Lolipop. I guess it's time to move forward.

I cannot try by myself, since I don't have custom recovery atm.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
On one hand I've been using this ROM as a daily driver for years (still on 200807 version which I might update this weekend if time available).

On the other hand I don't use bluetooth or loudspeaker. Battery life depends on age of battery, but I'm getting a day's usage on original battery. Main problem I find is sometimes laggy, but it's a 7 year old phone and I'll love it to death. :)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] remusator:
Replying to myself and potentially other users of this lovely device, looking for a rom:

The loudspeaker bug is still present, but

To explain what the speakerphone bug is - when you quit a call while you are on loudspeaker, on next your next call you won't hear anything.

To workaround, you don't have to restart the phone! All you need is to dial a number, turn loudspeaker on and off, end the call. (If you can do this quickly enough, other end won't even get notification that you called). On next call it works again.

Simply, don't forget to switch back to earpiece, when you use loudspeaker.

Bluetooth:

I haven't noticed any bugs yet. If I find any, I will let everyone know. I tried playing music on BT speaker, pairing to my car. I haven't tested calling though.

Apart from these, I'm falling in love with this rom - dt2w, double-tap-bar to sleep, finally can download apps with dropped support (I'm looking at you - garmin connect).

What else do I have to say? Thank you [MENTION=921816]ljjehl[/MENTION] for your work, thank you XenonHD team and everyone else who has participated, either as a developer, tester or in any other way.

[MENTION=6579749]gehess[/MENTION] - I have new battery from China. Quality is questionable, but certainly better than my 6 years old one.

Old one been dropping out at ~40%, no grace shutdown, causing file corruption, lost wifi passwords etc..

What I wanted to say is, swapping the battery was not that difficult, as it seems. If you still love the m7, you can do it :)

Update:

When first flashing, I did XenonHD(XenonHD-201031-Official-m7.zip) + OpenGapps pico(open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20201118) at the same time (twrp queue in this order) -> I ended up with no sim detected. (I tried wiping cache, dalvik, flashing latest gpe firmware without success).

My second try: I flashed XenonHD, booted rom -> sim works. Flashed gapps pico -> sim still works. Did a factory reset and started using the rom.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] remusator:
Answering to myself again,

bluetooth is somehow buggy. I wasn't able to track down cause of the issue, but couple times, BT didn't want to join my car.

Workaround: reboot.

I've decided to go 5.1 stock gpe, until I find a new daily driver phone. Then I'm going to flash XenonHD back and continue using my m7 as car navigation :)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] BasicallyCP:
Just flashed the latest version and it went without any trouble. Still doing great with your ROM, ljjehl. :)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
Hey man, just noticed you put a new build in "Temporary folder for all New Build Downloads".

I haven't installed it yet but thanks again!
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Had some issues with the original location that might never be resolved, so this will be the new location for now. Cheers!!
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
In addition, my device has been temporarily "lost" atm, so please let me know if there are any current issues. Blind devving is the pits, as I always like to test my builds. Since the changes are security related, I don't see any issues in the current that wasn't already there to begin with
[One (M7) Original Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
First of all, huge thanks for the dev for keeping support to our devices! ROM works flawlessly; I haven't had any issue with latest build.

But the thing is that I'm not able to use any magisk module. They all install without problems, appear as enabled in magisk but when I try to use them, they are not.

Anyone knows where the problem is?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gehess:
I have to use Magisk 18.1 (with Magisk Manager 7.5.1) because one of my modules (the Collective Dolby Atmos v1.8, I think) isn't being updated anymore and doesn't work with later versions of Magisk. And since I mainly use my M7 as a music player, that Dolby Atmos module is a priority to me, so I won't be using or testing any later versions of Magisk.

But I can confidently report that Magisk 18.1 works fine. As does the rest of the ROM. Thanks again, ljjehl.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] BasicallyCP:
Happily installed the latest build (after reading about the altered download location) and, once again, saying thank you for maintaining the device and software. :)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Updating the rom builds again. Bringing up the security to the latest and in process of adding the builds to temp location.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Thank you for your work, and for keeping such an old and great device alive!

I had issues with Bluetooth not connecting to my smart tv. Tried replacing bluetooth libraries and apks from Resurrectiin Remix Rom and it worked!

Everything else seems to be fine ;)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Maybe I can add these to the next build. I'm pretty sure Bluetooth needs a good update, but I really need to find out where my Dad accidentally put it away in a place he cant remember anymore :\ I really hate doing development and not being able to test what I do :(
[One (M7) Original Android Development] EmporHO:
I love this ROM but has development ended now?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] dar-gg:
I confirm Bluetooth works with Ressurection Remix rom's bluetooth apk in system/app folder. If anyone interested i can upload it to mega upload or something (allowed? Don't know. New here). Rom's original bluetooth was working 1/5 times after various reboots.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mitchst2:
Post it up please
[One (M7) Original Android Development] dar-gg:
here, works at least 70% of the times you start the phone compared to maybe 20% of the version of this rom.

[One (M7) Original Android Development] Kun Benji:
What about gasps to this rom
[One (M7) Original Android Development] kitkatto:
I'd love to keep using this mod

..If only my Wi-Fi worked on this.

I use a One M7spr and it wont connect to my Wi-Fi, I cannot modify the Network Security Protocol on my router, which means I'm stuck on that protocol, so yeah..
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Have you altered the rom in any way? (ie another kernel, xposed, etc.) I dont see any issues with my version. What version do you have? Maybe you can try rebooting the device, though mine turns off in real time.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Might want to use the workaround to get by until I figure the code, as its extremely buggy. Workaround is here:

Go to Phone app, Settings in upper right, Calls, Toggle Automatic Proximity Speaker to on.

This will make proximity sensor work. The only tradeback is, once phone goes away from ear, it transfers to speakerphone, and vice versa.

Not sure how long it will take to work through this one. Might even remove Prox speaker, as I don't know how great it really can be for everybody.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mitchst2:
Prox speaker

Didn't even know about it.

Now that I do would I use it. Doubtful.

Personally I'd remove it but wait for others feedback.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] genseng:
Looks like there is a delay for it too. The longest delay is 10 seconds which would be lots of time to enter a voicemail password without it going to speakerphone. If the time could be defined in minutes instead of milliseconds it could effectively be disabled. For the amount I actually use my phone to make calls it probably won't bother me having it enabled.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Please test and leave feedback, if possible. If there isn't any real need for it, I can get it removed so sensor can work like its supposed to. I thought it was cool, but as a practical use, I don't actually have a need for it. From what I have seen on the code, its going to be a bit to get it working right. It may just be simpler to remove, lol.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] 91ludesit:
My vote would be to remove it as it isn't a feature I care about.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mcduffie2010:
+1
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mitchst2:
What he said ^^
[One (M7) Original Android Development] IMTLD:
It stopped working after reboot, thanks!
[One (M7) Original Android Development] majed19:
I tried this workaround

It didn't work
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Didn't work? How so? Depends on what you want to work. I know it turns off screen when by ear, then switches to speaker when pulled away from ear.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] majed19:
I know it should do so, but when i call someone and its near my ear The screen stays on and the speaker got turned on
[One (M7) Original Android Development] genseng:
I tried the setting today with the longest delay and the speaker didn't turn on. The screen did come on though.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
It seems the switch only works properly if you have prox speaker checked and also incall checked
[One (M7) Original Android Development] genseng:
Tried again and had the other problem where the speaker came on near my ear (but not consistently when away from it). I've now turned the in call setting on and will test but leaning toward remove :/
[One (M7) Original Android Development] majed19:
Tried that also

Didn't work :)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Update!

With all the issues I have seen others have with this prox speaker, I apologize. However, I have rebuilt a new update. I have it posted in the second post, also here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347807699

Hopefully this reverts the previous issues (and give you a couple new extras....) You can read the changelog in Settings/about phone. I may bring this prox speaker back later, as long as its not glitchy the next time round....
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mcduffie2010:
Proximity problem is fixed. Thank you
[One (M7) Original Android Development] majed19:
Unfortunately also it didn't work, i had never had a working proximity sensor on any cm or aosp based rom

Though it is working fine on sense/gpe
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mitchst2:
Proximity fixed for me. Thanks
[One (M7) Original Android Development] djaidyc:
Proximity sensor works fine now. But I can no longer access kernel settings.

Just been through all the settings options and power button still working as intended.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Xposed mods does change files in system and other areas, so, of course, that can cause other indirect issues. If certain mods are causing issues, its probably best to ask if that tweak could be added in a future version of XeHD. I welcome all suggestions!

Will be trying xposed later. Will keep you posted if problem returns.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

I've found my problem.

It's a layers theme called Blackish.

As soon as I applied it and rebooted my power button instantly reboots phone.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

Uninstalling overlay from layers app has fixed the power button issue. So that's confirmed.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

Just installed Timberwolf layer and no issue with power button.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
Is Xposed framework already installed when Blackish layers added? Any Xposed mods added, if so?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mitchst2:
No xposed yet.

Returning to original install of XenonHD with Xposed installed on multirom. Going to uninstall Blackish and check.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

[MENTION=921816]ljjehl[/MENTION] Original install including xposed is now fine. All I done was uninstall Blackish app and from layers app. Power button functionality restored.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] 91ludesit:
Clean flashed my wife's phone to the 09/04 build and she commented on how it isn't hanging up on her anymore, so I know the proximity sensor is working correctly.

Just wish the battery life on lollipop was a bit better.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mcduffie2010:
You can achieve this on lollipop. ?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] 91ludesit:
OK but how? I've used better battery stats and can never track down what drains my battery.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] mcduffie2010:
I use;

Greenify

Amplify

Power NAP (search XDA)

L Speed MOD (search XDA)

That gives me a great battery
[One (M7) Original Android Development] ljjehl:
UPDATE!!

We have now started new ground here...OTA updates! Once you install this latest rom in Post #2, you now have OTA access to install future updates directly on the device. Theres also a couple more extras besides OTA access, including the About XenonHD (both in Settings/About Phone)

Have fun!!
