For me it also only works randomly.

I think this might be due to a problem with the bma2x2 accelerotmeter driver. There's a newer version of the driver in the MSM8916 kernel and the CM repository for the Wileyfox Swift has more elaborate glue code including calibration. I guess that's the next point on the todo list..

Hi!

Can somebody tell me how to install the stock rom to trunk? Is there a flashable zip available for the stock rom?
[Device Reviews and Information] Diamorphoses:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9374-1-1.html

I don't know if it's the latest. Search or ask in their forums.

But why the hell you would someone go back to stock? :confused::cyclops::silly::eek::rolleyes::cool::D
[Device Reviews and Information] Dininthedrider:
Thanks!

I'm trying to find a way to improve camera quality. I know that it is weak by hardware, but maybe stock rom camera drivers are more optimized than cm.
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
No, they are the same. The drivers for the camera are in userspace and are copied from the stock rom (vendor blobs). We could copy it from another device that uses the same chipset (Snapdragon 410), but the camera sensor in the Trunk (s5k4h5) is quite unique and I didn't find another device yet that uses the same sensor..

Request for your help !

My phone, Elephone Trunk with Qualcomm processor and installed Android 5.1.1

I got exactly the same issue as you described it !

A week ago i had flashed the offered update OTA . Now I have a bootloop !

Before it hapend I have only rooted the device with the "temporary TWRP method" !

After that I tried to resolve a problem in two various ways:

1. With TWRP mode (install zip from SDcard ) and two different stock-rooms : Elephone_Trunk_V1202B870_S5.1_(by_firmwarefile.com).zip (714M) and ARK_A3_5.1.1_017.zip Size: 820,2 МB

both install processes interrupt with message : "footer is wrong, signature verification failed" !

2.Qualcomm Smartphone Software Upgrade Tool and two different .bin files:

elephone_trunk1__V1106B815_LPostCS5.1.bin

elephone_trunk1__V1202B870_LPostCS5.1.bin

both downloads stopped with message: "QCOM-Q-Phones Sahara Arm program download failed"

How you solved it !!

Please help me, to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance !

TIll now (about 5h) your new ROM runs very well on my Trunk: No crashes, good battery life, auto-rotation works fine.... :good:

Only the flash flashlight-function doesn't exist and the GPS-receiver works incorrect: I have a deviation of ~300km to my real location :D

Installed with following settings:

TWRP: 3.0.2-0

Wipe: system, data, dalvik, cache,

Addition: The notification light only blinks 2-3 times.
[Device Reviews and Information] Diamorphoses:
WOW...

I haven't tested GPS yet. Can you try in with the location mode "Device Only"?
[Device Reviews and Information] kezmdor:
I have a quite similar issue with locations. If no GPS position can be found (inside buildings for example) Google Maps thinks I am near Göttingen in Germany. The country is correct, but about 200km away. As soon as GPS position is locked everything is fine though.

Göttingen is nearly the middle of Germany, so perhaps the location services just don't know better and places me there.

Is there a possibility to customize the ROM regarding this issue?

The new current build is great for me. Several days up time, good battery, rotation is working, WiFi is working. Only these others for me:

1. I also think the speaker volume and Bluetooth audio volume is quite low. I always need the volume in both situations set to maximum to have any chance of hearing callers. I don't know if this is specific to the CM13 build or just the Trunk in general. Does anyone else have any experience of this? I was going to try increase the gain in AudioFX next.

2. Cannot set Torch in the tiles menu.

I have now idea what you want from me or what your problem is. But if somebody uses my kernel for their own ROM it's for sure not my job to fix any problems with the camera.

Actually, it's not even my job to fix any bugs in my own ROM. In fact, I will only fix bugs that bother me. The source code is available, so anybody can go ahead and fix problems as they appear. After all, the forum is called xda-developers, not xda-users. If you want a stable ROM, go back to stock.

Hello [MENTION=2789465]ottom[/MENTION]i!

I think this is a misunderstanding. The guys at 4pda forum are porting cm13 based roms for the Ark benefit, which is almos identical to elephone trunk (32bit instead of 64bit). However they have difficulty to make the camera work. I actually tried one of their roms on my trunk, and the picture can not be saved. Sam problem as you had in your earlier roms.

I think that they would like to ask you to help them fix their problem. They are not criticizing your rom, they need your help to fix the camera in their ARK benefit rom ports.

If you check their forum you can see that they are desperate for a solution. http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=692103&st=2980

I hope this clears things up!
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
Honestly, I didn't get the meaning of most of robot666's messages - obviously Google translate didn't work too well for him..

All my source code is available on github and I think my commit messages are rather verbose. All I ever did to fix the camera problems is there. I think they want to look into libmmqjpeg_codec.so and whether all of its dependencies are met.
[Device Reviews and Information] BlueFlame4:
There is already a fully working CM 13 for the Ark Benefit, what is the problem the 4PDA guys are facing?
[Device Reviews and Information] Doors73:

Could somebody please help me again, I managed to install the Rom by ottmi, but when I try to install opengapps (mini or micro) and xposed framework V81 I says "not enough storage (or space) on system partition" I did a system partition wipe, but it did not work.

I only can install cm13 and opengapps but not xposed or cm13 and xposed but no google apps.

What can I do? Is there a way to install TWRP on Sd-Card? I could not find enough information.
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
You could try installing OpenGapps nano instead. But apart from that, there's not much else you can do. The system partition is ~1GB and after installing CM13 and OpenGapps nano, there's only ~50MB free. You could also try removing some of the stock apps..
[Device Reviews and Information] heredrive:
I can only install Nano? But what did all the others do? No Chance to install Mini without deleting system apps?

Why did wiping of the system app not work?
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
You can install the nano pack in your system partition and the other Google apps you need from the Play Store. The problem is the space in the system partition. You only want to install the minimum necessary there, it will be outdated soon anyway and replaced with updates from the Play Store.

Wiping the system partition only gets rid of stuff you've installed there after you've flashed CM.
[Device Reviews and Information] heredrive:
Okay but some apps will not be updated automatically which are not part of nano, correct?
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
Sorry, I didn't get that.. Any app that's available on the Play Store will be updated as soon as there is an update available. Regardless of whether it has been installed in the system partition or the data partition (i.e. from the Play Store). So from my point of view, there's no benefit in installing any gapps other than nano.
[Device Reviews and Information] heredrive:
Ok up to now I thought that only those apps are updated that are part of the original pico, nano, micro and so on. But why not install pico then?
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
The nano package also includes Google apps that are not available from the Play Store. You need to decide for yourself whether you need them or not:

[Device Reviews and Information] heredrive:
Alright thank you very much. I will compare them and install the best one:):good:
[Device Reviews and Information] heredrive:
Everything is working fine, Opengapps Nano was a great tip, but now I have the problem that some apps will not identify the external sd card (e.g. titanium backup or autoguard) as storage. CM 13 does identify the external storage sd card named "elephone sd" (32 Gb).

By the way: Even es file explorer entitled my "elephone sd" as "F467-010A".

Micro Sd is mounted by twrp.

What went wrong?

What can I do?
[Device Reviews and Information] Diamorphoses:
I use Mixplorer (search xda for it) and I don't have any issues. It recognizes my micro sdxc card as c12c-1d01. I can transfer/copy/etc any file from/to internal memory. Your problem might be due to privacy manager? (permissions?)

Also a tip: I use a 128GB micro sdxc card and elephone trunk recognized 117gb (ottmi uses a 64GB sdxc card also and it is fully recognized) ;)

P.S. I had problems, recognizing the micro SD card with amaze file explorer.

Are there other users who have problems with rights management. Still some programs do not work or not completely, still titanium backup, es file explorer...

Main problem external Sd Card is not mounted so they said. But it is.
[Device Reviews and Information] ottmi:
Actually, this is in fact a new bug. While the camera somehow seems to work, I still consider it as buggy. E.g., the torch tile also doesn't work properly which is related to the camera blobs. I made good experience "borrowing" stuff from the Wileyfox Swift, so I guess, the next step would be to also borrow the camers blobs from there and see whether we can make it work with the drivers for our specific sensor.

That being said, I've created a new build that hopefully resolves the issues with GPS and network-based location. Again, I borrowed from the Swift and it seems to work. However, it feels like the first GPS lock now takes ages. But maybe that's just due to the frequent cache wipes I did and it improves once it actually obtained a lock..
