Hmm, it's probably ROM dependent due to proprietary Android -> Kernel API libs. Makes me think I should start shipping the kernel with the latest Samsung libraries and symlink them during init.

Losing WiFi was something I figured could happen in 6.6.0 because it had a huuuuuuge update to the broadcom WiFi and bluetooth drivers, but my WiFi is functioning perfectly and I have more stable 5GHz signal than I ever did on previous drivers.

><

Can anyone else report on the WiFi issue please. I want to see if it's only N9005 specific.

Please mention WiFi 5G working or not, your ROM (with version), bootloader version, and baseband version!

Unfortunately this won't work, the issue is that aroma crashes the entire phone making logs unobtainable because they are written to tmpfs. I've tried mounting an sdcard directory over /tmp but it doesn't seem to write properly from the installer still. That's why I need tmp dir changed in source code to sdcard with all debug code on. :/ need as much information as I can get in very little time.

@ people having issue with camera FC on Dark-Au:

If you can get lâm1990 to release his kernel sources, I will gladly look at what he is doing there, and then look for a proper fix on the ROM side for you. If there is no ROM fix, then I will implement the kernel side fixes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] kpirnie:
works good here mate. n900t 6.6.2.

On a rom I cant release here, but is based on DarkAU 6.1 (and yes, Ive had [MENTION=4696762]darkera13[/MENTION]'s permission to release... I just dont want to due to the paid theme included in it ... ;) )
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Bushido76:
Maybe this was a misunderstanding but jc did ask for the kernel sources to find out, what was done on kernel side to "catch" the "mislead" api calls. If you have the permission to release them there is no need to distribute your paid theme.

In general: linux/android kernel sources are distributed under GPL. That means if you use (and change) them to relase an own kernel you must release the sources. All kernels which make open source from other devs to closed source are warez. On XDA such "projects" will get banned. Hosting them outside XDA doesn't make it legal. ?

well you don't neeeeeeeeeed to, i don't think it will make a difference really, i think its more to do with proprietary .so files on rom.

Hmm, someone told me their IR wasn't working when KitKat driver was enabled so I switch to LP driver and now people say its not working again. ><

Gotta be honest here I'm taking a bit of a break until I figure out how to fix Xorg on my VM. It keeps segfaulting so I can't get into my development environment.

For the past 3 months I've been downgrading it but now Debian has taken the working .deb off their servers and apt-get upgrade wouldn't work until I upgraded it. No way back now. :(

Thank you very much. ? This was definately no waste if time. I'm going to use it for my next modem upgrades. Btw it's a great example for backing up a partition to a file. ?

Now I'm on the OJ1 modem but connecting to my 5GHz still isn't working. You spoke about providing rom drivers in the ram disk so my question is, which libs do I have to replace to get it working again?

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jcadduono:
There's nothing missing. It's probably some weird file permission bug in the deb package. I could just wait it out until they fix it, I guess.

Buuuuuuuuuut....

I went ahead and installed Ubuntu Wily instead.

IT'S SO PRETTY!

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Air-真心为你:
That desktop environment looks great . Is it gnome classic ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jcadduono:
It's LXDE minimal, Adwaita widget theme, Ivy icon theme (https://github.com/sixsixfive/ivy), LXTerminal & PCManFM, lxpanel set to system colors, gedit 3.10 Ubuntu's version (oh man it's so much nicer than Debian's 3.18 version lol), and Nightmare-02 openbox theme.

If you wanna try LXDE it's very fast. GTK based though. There's a spinoff called LXqt which is based on qt instead, and it's slightly faster but at the disadvantage of having less stability and features since it's development is still going on.

Tried both but had to stick with LXDE since GTK themes are much prettier.

If you guys wanna continue OT then join #rantradio on freenode.net irc, I can even give you idleKernel cloaks via ZNC.

I have nothing against OT discussion on my threads as long as people aren't offending or attacking others but the mods probably don't like it. :p

I have Temasek's cm13 ROM - I went through a few twists to get the extSDCard working properly. cm13 wanted to format it so after backing up to PC I let it. In TWRP Recovery it shows as vfat now. I presume this is an Android or Cyanogen version of FAT32 because everything is working fine with idlekernel.

Hm... first I'd have to find a file larger than 4GB... :D

EDIT: Nope, looks like computer says no - Windows says 'File larger than device limit'

Now why, in this 'modern' time would Google mandate a file system that has that limit? I realise it's the 32Bit thing but surely there are ways to implement it better? ext2, ext3, ext4 and f2fs all have much larger size limits, so why does Android 6 demand cards be FAT?

Sorry I only see a way to disable it as init is starting, not once OS is loaded, so it needs to be disabled by flashing a different kernel.

(or I could add a boot toggle in ikconfig)

I'm going to just make _LEGACY kconfigs for these stupid kitkat/lollipop driver changes. :c

but more importantly

DOCTOR WHO SEASON 9 FINALE HERE I COME

in also great news, OSRC has BOJ1 sources up so I can see what I should make legacy and what I shouldn't, for those pesky N9005 phones...

in not so great news, but entertaining to me anyway....my dad broke his note 3, then called me to ask what the best phone is. i told him i'm eyeing the note 4 because the 5 has no removable battery, but would rather wait for the G5 in late february.

2 hours later he comes home with a brand new note 4. damn. not gonna lie i wanna make a trade :D this thing is nice. (i'm not gonna support it though since he takes important calls and needs it 99% of the time)

buuuuuuuuut i'll wait for G5 or whatever else comes to the table by then. :p

but i swear if LG drops the removable battery, IR, and sdcard i will sue them myself for pretending to be samsung
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Bushido76:
That would be great. I do miss my 5GHz WLAN as I can't access the internet (2.4GHz), when our baby monitor is in use. ?

Very good decision of him. IMO the best phone out there at the moment. So please tell your father that he should take (and make) more important calls. ? Maybe you can offer him support for his phone under the condition, that he is going to buy another one for you. ?

But it's great to read that some of you are maintaining their parents phones too. I had kind of a "flashback" yesterday. My mothers "ancient" S3 kept hanging and rebooting and I had to look for a new firmware. I ended up with SlimLP and I'm very glad that some of the XDA guys keep such "old" phones up to date. ? Shame on Samsung for doing not.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jcadduono:
I think it might be the CodeAurora changes to msm_fb that broke Samsung covers. If I had a cover I'd try to find a way to fix it. :/

Read this article for why Android uses FAT32 (driver implementation for reading/writing FAT12/16/32 is called vfat) for sdcards and doesn't support exFAT:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/516088/how-does-ubuntu-get-away-with-reading-fat32

Another interesting article here:

http://www.geek.com/chips/clever-linux-folk-find-way-around-microsoft-fat-file-system-patent-824951/

Every other format isn't supported by Windows, so it's tough to choose one of them. :(

You also have to remember that the people behind Android are the same people who think SDcards are too confusing for users, and no one needs 4+ GB files on their SDcards either.

Some Samsung kernels support exFAT because Samsung wrote an impressive exFAT driver for the kernel. I don't think Google wants to get in trouble with Microsoft for using it.

F2FS is the solution to the exFAT patent problem & more, but there's another issue. Unless Microsoft introduces F2FS into Windows, F2FS will be considered another Linux file system that nobody wants to use because nothing other than Linux devices can read it. If every company was willing to support F2FS in their devices, and used it by default, then Microsoft would be forced by its users into supporting F2FS themselves. Problem solved.

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

I think the best way would be to re-build the aroma binary for android 5.x kernels. The current aroma installer is aligned to 4.4 kernel drivers. As the code is written in native C++ it does access kernel drivers (i.e. touchscreen) on a low level which is not compatible with 5.x kernel drivers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] frequentc:
I've also had that happen occasionally on my ubuntu vm when building custom kernels. Deleting the whole android kernel directory and redownloading the source from github usually fixes the problem. If that doesn't work, I would delete the vm and reinstall it from scratch, but I think you already did that recently.

Edit:

I think I also recompiled scripts/mkqcdtbootimg.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] PlutoDelic:
I never understood why devs preferred to port Note 5 instead of Note 4. Easier, more compatibility in general (Snapdragon 800 with 805) and 32bit libraries.

BUT NO, people just want the latest of the latest, and i guess the devs just brew what people want.

It's easier to port Note 5 Apps, Launchers and Effects to a Note 4 predefined Note 4 port.

Sad to hear we wont get support for the Note 5 ports, but then again, no whatsoever obligation and reason to maintain short living projects such as unfeasible ports.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] CekMTL:
Haven't had the time to check anything else related to 5.1.1 stuff as I'm currently strapped for time and heavily invested in a couple of (private) projects so I honestly don't know.

That was the only "fix" I could come up with given the limited time frame and source code availability.

I'm of the opinion that people respond a lot better when they are asked nicely than when they are threatened but as it is my opinion, I could be perfectly wrong.

PS: I see my post with the link to the explanation of the fix has already been deleted... humm well that was fast; must be a VIP already :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DaOldMan:
Pitty no one bothers to see that note5 rom is much better, faster and lag free compared to any note4 rom. The ports are getting better and they are here to stay. If note4 6.0 rom will be any good then the comunity will happily use it. Unfortunetly ALL note4 roms were until now totaly worthless. Well ok 5.1.1 is a bit better but 5.0.1 was just horrible.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Bushido76:
Thank you for support and the test version. Unfortunately I still cannot connect to my 5GHz wifi. Do you have any idea what could be the reason for that issue. (With test2 my 5GHz wifi is detected more reliably but connecting still fails unfortunately.)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jcadduono:
I have no idea, I reverted some reserved memory code as well in this commit: https://github.com/jcadduono/idleKernel-note3/commit/055d3178005131844932fccd47639cd426e10e34

Built test3, but I highly doubt it will make any difference, if you want to try it out. Are you sure 5GHz wifi was working in 6.5.5? Can you confirm?

Try forgetting the network, try setting a static IP & dns, try changing the 5 GHz channel (157 is highly compatible).

https://idlekernel.com/debug-stuff-nothing-fun-here/6.6.3/

I hope to release 6.6.3 (with some bug fixes, flicker fix for note5port, and codeaurora updates) as soon as we figure this out.

Update: NAH LET'S JUST COMPILE IT NOW!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Bushido76:
Thanks again for your support. It seems to be a compatibility problem of wifi router and smartphone. Autochannel was always using the lowest channel (36) which was told "interoperable". ? As I cannot set-up channel 157 (not supported by my router) I found channel 40 to be free of any issues. After this discovery I did flash 6.6.2 (release) and everything was working great. So I think there is no need to revert any wifi changes. It seems that the autochannel function was the cause of the unconstant wifi connectivity.
