Some Adjustments

First of all thanks for this Rom!

I have installed it in a ZTE Blade S6 (Asia Version) and works well in general.

But there are some bugs i would like to report with the expected value from the current value:

- Screen Brightness is too Low. (-->125%)

- Blue LED Buttons Light TOO High (-->50%)

- Media Sound (only this) too low (-->130%)

- There is only Feedback (vibration) in the center button. (The other two Menu and Back should have vibration Feedback too)

I hope you can update the Rom with those changes or indicate where i could make those changes.

Again thanks!
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MattSqu:
Wow, that would be pretty amazing. I've been using this rom for a long time now and wanted to say thanks.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
Thank you for your feedback.

Screen brightness and led button light brightness is controllable through the settings menu display or buttons. I must admit, that the automatic brightness settings do not use the stock light sensor values, which is why the screen might be too dark.

Don't know what is with the media sound, cause we are using stock settings... maybe there is a difference with media playback and speaker loudness while phoning, because of the hifi chip, which is only used while playing media files. Is this what you experience?

When you want to try something out, there is the mixer_paths_mtp.xml in system/etc. This files control the loudness of the mics and speakers, maybe set the gain a little bit higher or adjust the digital volume...

I haven't use the vibration feedback, so didn't notice any difference...

If you want do change settings like vibration duration, patterns and brightness values you could decompile the framework.apk...

I'm sorry, but it looks like I will not release a new verison, cause my spare time is too small and also I'm working on getting LineageOS 14.1 running on our device. I would appreciate if your think we should focus on the newer os and you will help in the future.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
Lineage OS 14.1

Update on the previous posts from me:

I altered the kernel, so I could use the touchscreen and buttons with the lineageos14.1 piccolo rom.

I would say, it looks very promising. Now I have to build the whole rom to suit our device, then we can have a look which what functions are working and what is not. Please be patient.

Okay, just for fun - here you have a build of Lineage OS 14.1 for our device, probably only AS version. :victory:

Touchscreen is working, otherwise the whole build were useless. Sadly no sound or wifi is working, but havn't done much work on this.

See it as proof of concept step for all the disbelievers - no offence!

When we can get this rom officially?
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sir jufer:
For EU devices soon ???
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
Have you tried if the rom will boot on your device?

If you are so kind and brave,do a backup in twrp and do a clean install of the rom above and report if it will boot or bootlooping...
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sir jufer:
i ' ll try but first could you make a little explanation of what works and not please ??

stroage available, max screen resolution, etc....
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
Touchscreen is working and that is enough for a poc,but you can wait for real first release.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ameer_98:
Can you tell me about the date of the first realease?

When we can get it ?
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Voenix:
Wow nice work,

For Wifi and the other things that arent working,

is it possible to implent the drivers from the ZTE blade V6 LineageOS Rom?

Because it has nearly the same specs.

So I tested it, Thanks no bootloop :)

Itself runs pretty well, touchscreen virbation works too,

button light normal,

but when the screen went to standyby, I cant turn the screen back on, its still active no reboot (just set display inactivity to 30 minutes)

still good, im just testing ^^ Nice to see this working
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
I'm glad someone else posted about testing this preview and also that it works.

Yep, I did the same set it to 30 minutes and don't go to sleep, while plugged in... At first I thought the device isn't responding to the power button, when screen goes off, but then I notice that it vibrates if you press twice the power button and the button backlight lights up, when I press the power button.

Now I think the screen brightness is not set right after the screen goes to sleep and remains off, I haven't look close enough if the display comes back to live, but I could be this way.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Voenix:
If you press the power button two times it vibrates, because its a shortcut to the camera.

I noticed that the sensor in the right of the corner lights up red, if you want to wake it up,

but I still have control while the black screen appears, using a display sharing app.

OMG I cant believe that someone actually trying to make a rom for this device.

Super thanks. I hope you can do something. I am waiting for an update almost for a year.

I cant understand why zte and other developers dont support this device.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nothor:
Adjust Led Buttons Brightness

I have manage to adjust the values for the Brightness of the LED Buttons.

Root access is needed

Go to the folder /sys/class/leds

Here you will find 3 Folders to adjust every single Brightness of the 3 Led Buttons (Left, Middle, Right)

Inside those folders you have to change the value inside the File "max_brightness", by default is set at maximum (255) i have adjusted it to 80, except for the right Led button that (at least in my case) i had to adjust it to the double (160).
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Voenix:
I did that too like a half year ago. But I couldnt manage that it stay after reboot :/
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ameer_98:
Anyone can tell me about the release date of the new rom , I mean the "lineageOS" rom anyone know ?
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lagos911:
It seems lightwars isn't working anymore for this rom. Last build at google drive was 2 months ago.

This device is a blackhole. Nobody can support it. No zte, no cyanogen. Something wrong with this device.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Raymost:
I hope this ROM will see the light sometime. Great job lightwars!!

i don't think the blade s6 has enough power to handle but if it has consider that only lightwars it's developing this rom, from what i see its better to buy a new phone..... mine's battery is dying and the storage is almost full because the stupid partition :(
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cd492:
Yeah have the same problems. The battery lasts only one day. I think I will go for xiaomi redmi, they are cheap and very powerful.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mr.Ak:
You'll need to make a script of the same that initiate on boot.

Hi Guys,

lightwars did it. He published a Alpha Version of LineageOS 14.1 for our Blade S6

here: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/rom-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-zte-blade-t3677138

Lightwars, you are the best!.

Hey.. I managed to unbrick my zte blade s6, using the lyf firmware. Now I really don't know the variant of the phone (bought it from minideal, so I guess it must be as or au version).

So now I can't install stock firmware cause I'm afraid to brick it again.

Cm12.1 bootloops and lineage 14.1 has no WiFi and can't connect to google servers..

What now?
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] azza16:
You need a custom kernel and ROM build, try custom Rom build app.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] leon09:
Can you please provide me the links to these roms? Just tell me what to download please please please please!
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
New version is up.

added libs for front camera and switched from EU pronto - wifi driver to AS one. Should wifi signal should be improved hopefully.

kernel was modified to match some EU version changes, maybe some users of EU devices could test...

First, I hope you know that there is differences between the AU and EU/AS version regarding internal storage.

By now, I haven't seen any update zip by zte, so I don't know any kernel differences. Maybe you could provide boot.img form your device, so that anyone can have a look at it.

Use flashify to dump it or using dd command in terminal:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img

Hope your sdcard is called so, if not change it to match the name of it.

Please, if you are up to it, try the new build and report back. Because I have only AS version of that phone.

So I need some help from the community to make it work.

Hi,

install it today, no bootloop..but how can I install gapps? get always an extraction error. Moreover can see the internal sd card in my setting, only 4 Gb available...
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
Thanks for the boot Image.

Thanks for trying. I thought up another idea. How about using the original kernel...

So you go into TWRP make a backup, do a factory reset, flash the rom and then flash the boot_Eu zip to exchange the kernel. Now reboot system and cross your fingers. when it does not work, try to restore your boot image only and see, if anything changes.

Remeber that the first start up could take a little while.

Where is the boot sequence hanging anyway? - stating to "start the apps" or at the boot animation of cid.

Sorry, yes I have some problems with mounting internal sdcard. zte had made a userdata and a fat partition.

I will switch back to data/media for now.

Download links for the different kernels:

EU Version

AU Version
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
updated the last version, now back to using only userdata partition. this eliminates some storage problems like the extraction error from slawoko.

Also a mod is linked which enable around 11GB for userdata partition.

Now that storage is sorted finally took the plunge. So far so good, got 11 gb storage indeed. Testing further...
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] eremini:
FM radio was mentioned one of the things not working, perhaps also needs driver adding.

Edit: Also it appears flash in Camera does not work. Though the light works in flashlight apps.

I use the camera360 ultimate app if flash is needed..

But how can one change the led colors ??

Something strage: After installing GravityBox the clock app crashes

I don't want to jinx myself but installing the AU kernel after your CM worked!

Thanks once again for getting this to work! Really appreciate it.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] slawoko:
I´ve changed the button via GravityBox, but maybe there is a better solution.

Very cool,that you got it booted.

Yes,the buttons are back to standard. Sadly we can only apply actions for the left and home button in the settings.maybe there is a way to also enable this for the right one...

If someone knows please tip us.

Please read the OP for infos about the button lights regarding charging or notifications. It is because you can customize the way the lights will light up in cm settings.I can also hardcode some things,but for now I like the idea of customizing them.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] andyle2k:
I'm also having another major issue on the AU version: camera doesn't work... well it does but when launching the camera the whole screen is in this weird rainbow looking thing. And all the photos taken come out like that too. I had to switch back. It may be a camera driver or setting bug that's only in the AU version.

I did CM, then AU_Boot to install.

Tried multiple camera apps, all have the same issue.

Thanks.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Easyfunk:
Thank you very much for the development of this mod! I installed it yesterday and most things are working fine. Great work! Unfortunately I have a little issue like eremini

Quite the same here.

This solution doesn't work for me. I have installed the app, but flash doesn't work.

I have the AS version of the device. May I provide additional information in order to work on a solution for the flash problem?
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
Okay,what a pitty it does not work out so easily...

I have to admit I will concentrate on building and supporting AS Version of this device first,because I can test changes myself.

For further development we need offical Firmware,maybe provide a twrp backup of your original system partition or make a dump with dd commands.

If someone is interested in development for this phone, regardless of the version (AS,EU,AU,....) please feel free to join and speed up the process. I too started with this phone and have not much further knowledge.
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] eremini:
Few more things noted by people:

- Stock defaults to 320 DPI. Your firmware default to 295 DPI and closest option is only 215 DPI.

- Settings -> Buttons -> Recent button -> Long Press action. No matter what you set it to, it still opens google search. Slight annoyance. The now defunct fortek CM rom had same bug.

Found different infos about dpi,mostly 294 or 295 and this is also the result when I calculate the dpi.That's why I choose it.

[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Finki:
Hi, I tested your ROM these days. It's great, but there are these issues I found:

- camera flash lights up when focussing (already known)

- notification light way too bright. In stock ROM it is only very little light when touching the buttons

- internal SD card (7.7GB) is not visible and not usable with CM12.1, only the 4GB system partition is

Will these points be cleared, what do you think, lightwars? Would be great. Many thanks.

Any other issues I did not mention?
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lightwars:
I think this is not needed, cause it was reported, that it worked for EU and DEU variants. Here is a post of user mig78 in a german forum, android hilfe, who described how to get CM running.

Thanks for testing.

The first one should be a feature, which should be there on stock rom also. In low lights enviroments the flash is used to adjust the shutter speed, aperture and so on. Digicams have this feature too, mostly there is an extra led for this purpose. I've tested it and the focusing with flash is not done when the enviroment is bright enough.

The second one: Yep. Sadly when touching the screen or the buttons the brightness is set to high, I can think of a workaround, if I don't find the settings for this in the sources. Also for the normal notifications the breathing is missing.

The last one: Maybe I have to stress this more on the op. I have tried to mount it, but haven't got it to work, so I stay with the data/media layout, which is found on most devices nowadays. Even the AU variant of our devices is build like this. So the internal sd is not mounted. But you could use the repartitioning, if you feel like you have to less storage (not mandatory). Or work on getting internal sd mounted. ;)
[ZTE Blade S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Finki:
You are right, I didn't know that. But the CM ROM did this even in light environment.

I fear repartitioning, because of bricking it. Is there a way back if it fails via TWRP?

Also is it possible to use stock ROM after partitioning?

Another question: Any idea of adding double tap to wake into the kernel? Or is it generally impossible because of the hardware?
