That's a sepolicy glitch. delete the file from device/htc/a5/sepolicy.

There may be several more like that.

You can use my a5 device folder (cm12.1 branch) for guidelines on getting around errors as they pop up.

I'm not the best at making readable single item commits though, so you'll have to decipher my mishmash.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
I've deleted the sepolicy folder in the HTC/a5/ and replaced with this.

Should I just replace all the CM files with the files in your a5 folder?

Thanks again for your time. It's really helpful. :)

EDIT: The build got past the point it got hung up last time, so so far it's working well.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Using my device folder, it should hopefully at least build without crashing.

It may not be perfect though... Up to you.

It's quite the learning experience to Google up all the errors using the unmaintained cm folders though.

You might also be able to use Grarak/android_device_a5ul , a5-common, proprietary_vendor_htc, and get a runnable build, I haven't tried the cm12.1 branch of his.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
For right now I'd just be happy with a successful build, but I hope to get a build as good as your 12.1 builds so that I can get recent builds of 12.1 until 13 is more of a daily driver. Once I get 12.1 working well, I do hope to get 13 built at least once from my machine.

Thanks.

Do you get The roaming signal or do you get 3g and 4g? Because the last time i tried to flash this on my 816chl with virgin mobile i couldnt get the data to work.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
I managed to get a working (and flashable) build using CM with your Sepolicy folder.

Now I'm going to try building using all your changes, to see if I can get a build as complete as your old builds of 12.1. The nice thing is that I have the new security patch from Jan with my builds.

Thanks!
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
New security patch? Dang. I hadn't noticed that.

Guess I should update things again. Be a little while, time issues.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Clarkie_955i:
Yep. Works great on A5UL. Well done and thanks for your time and effort
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Build with 1/1/2016 security patch level seems to be working.

Once it's uploaded I'll update the OP.

Thank [MENTION=6978105]Bandit Development[/MENTION] for pointing out the patch level increase.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Shedal:
Will this build also contain an updated dwg? I'm wondering if I should try to install it and fix my phone problems.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
No problem, glad to help. Do you mind sharing your local manifest for your 12.1 and 13.0 builds? I'm curious so I can compare it with my local manifest I've tweaked.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
For dwg, dug, I'd have to build from Grarak's device folders instead of the one I've tweaked.

It looks like he knows what to do with the dual sim stuff.

Actually, my phone has one SIM slot. It's A5_UL. Just in case, here's a quote about my problem from my message:
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
I'm running a build using Grarak's changes. Once it's finished, you're welcome to flash if you want to see if it fixes your phone issues. (I don't use any phone features on my 816, just Wifi and normal Android functions.)
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Funny, reports of other ULs working fine.

The gsm part on your model throws my memory off... Sorry

With luck that'll do it. Appreciate the alternatives.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
No problem. All I did was setup a build environment and download some files. :) I'm glad I can help someone out.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Amusing, that's not a lot less than I did to set up this thread.

The current 12.1 build with the 1-1 security patch is now uploaded.
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
Quick question, I know a clean flash is probably recommended but will a dirty flash work here if coming from the 12-15 build?

Sent from my HTC Desire 816 a5_chl running Unofficial CM 12.1 ? on Virgin Mobile USA
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
Dirty flash worked just fine for me. The only real change is the new security patch I believe.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I figure the same, but won't suggest a dirty flash in the OP even coming from this ROM.

Generally a clean flash from different ROMs, and dirty flash unless there's significant updates, seems to be the going rule.

And like the second quote says, there don't seem to be any big changes here.

I only posted it to keep up with the Jenkins's.

People like their security patches, and if the manufacturer isn't going to keep up on it, it's up to the builders to do it.

At least HTC standardized their concept of an unlockable bootloader, I haven't even had to consider s-off on this little beastie for any development work. Thanks to therm for that courtesy.
[Desire 816 Android Development] ajones23:
I always clean flash every rom. I rarely have any problems. Thanks for all ur hard work,I love this phone.
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
Thanks! So far dirty flash booted and seems to be working fine. I just hate to have to reinstall all my apps and start from scratch for a minor update (not to say that a security update is minor, but you know what I mean).

[Desire 816 Android Development] tatono:
I found the solution to the problem of phone the A5_UL (in my case, took long to recognize the Sim, took a long time cogel signal the end of the call will be left hanging), the solution is to copy these files to their respective folders (files are the CM12)

1 The gsm chl and folders must copy them to / system / blobs

2nd file-conf.xml APNs must copy it to / system / etc

once copied reiniciais the phone and it goes smoothly.

(sorry for my English, I'm Spanish)

As usual, no one is responsible if you break your device in any way using this ROM. Dirty flash worked fine for me, but I'd recommend a clean flash if you have phone issues. Let me know if it works. :)

[Desire 816 Android Development] Clarkie_955i:
Do I copy and replace or just add them? I did the copy and replace now stuck on the boot screen.
[Desire 816 Android Development] tatono:
I copy the files to my SD card and from the application ES File explorer eliminated and paste files from the new SD card, and then restart the phone and it worked. Your model is a5-ul truth??

This rom is amazing, I had never lasted so the battery with a cyanogenmod rom.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Clarkie_955i:
Yes a5-ul. Sorry but i forgot to mention i was trying this on CM 13.0 6.0.1
[Desire 816 Android Development] tatono:
Might try replacing only the APNs-conf.xml file, if you start to have or not.
[Desire 816 Android Development] luka.miskovic:
Delete pls, wrong post
[Desire 816 Android Development] luka.miskovic:
I just did the same, and I'm stuck in bootloop, its a5_ul device, and i copied the folders and apn config file using es file explorer. Did it twice but it is the same
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Backups!

I don't know if es explorer sets file permissions wrong when copying from sdcard like cm file manager or not.

But just copying files from the card without matching their ownership and permissions to other files of their kind around them has caused me bootloops since kitkat when security started really getting ramped up.

I guess because the VFAT card partition doesn't have real permissions and its defaults get copied with the new files.

.tar.gz works well, you can unpack and it preserves permissions and ownership.

Finding the correct apns-conf for your carrier or grabbing it from /etc/etc/apns-conf.xml from a ROM with working service might do you better. Dunno about those blobs.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Clarkie_955i:
I copied the conf.xml into the system/etc. Know when I make a call it says please turn of Aeroplane mode even though it is off and cant make a call. Made a nandroid just before i copied the file and the nandroid is also doing the same thing. Will test again
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
if you didn't restore /data too it will persist.

there's two files in /data that have to be erased to rebuild the apns list.

/data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/tele*.db

or something like that.

Battery Drain

Has anyone else noticed significant battery standby drain on this ROM? I can't even get a day now, and I don't know why.

[MENTION=2980661]bigsupersquid[/MENTION] did you change something in your 12.1 Git that could have caused this? Just made a fresh build yesterday with the exact XML you provided and I still get the battery drain.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
nothing had changed in my 12.1 folders since last release or earlier.

but I and others have gotten significant mobile data drain on cm13.

I'm clocking almost 3 Gb including stock restores with their accompanying app updates from Hades, but still 13.0 reported me over 256Mb in one install, from "android os"

and, yesterday, I got credited data bandwidth while they were getting my lte going again, and I've lost over 300Mb so far. 400+ really, but some of that is legit. although bogus still mostly, from trimmed stock with wiped /data.p

I'm thinking of packet sniffing. but it could, possibly, be network cycling and recycling between towers or something. I dunno.

I haven't rebuilt 12.1 since the security patch even. but I resync 13 often.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
Hmm, I always have airplane mode on with only Wifi turned on. I'm not sure why it drains so much.

[/COLOR]

this is the issue I've been describing for UL variant since april 2015.

CM 12.1 was ok upto and including build 20150429 nightly. The exact same SIM issues with calls, caller, simcard and SMS appeared after that

so if someone can compare withthis version, might help !! :)

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

what exactly did you do to get it working? Full wipe, dirty flash? from which ROM did you migrate to?

in similar situation and want to get it working, so asking ;)

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

Just did a factory reset then /system format

Flashed 20160106 12.1 build, with open Gapps nano.

Reboot and deleted the folders inside /system/blobs, replaced with the ones in this thread (Page 10 I think), xml file also copied to /system/etc

Now after reboot, it is simcard_detect looping....

I stuck in airplane mode and set the permissions on all the files and folders in the blobs folder to rwxr-xr-x, and the xml file to rw-r--r--

Then I turned off airplane mode again and it picked up straightaway.

incoming and outgoing calls OK.

if LTE is enabled, when I turn off Wifi I lose the gsm connection (simcard_loop again).

so data looks broken for now, or I missed sth.

going to try exact same steps but from a dirty flash of my CM20150428 edition.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Clarkie_955i:
Sorry. Same problems as every one else. Posted in wrong forum
[Desire 816 Android Development] aftertzf:
Well I have a working A5_ul except for simcard loop when data is enabled on sim.

Calls n stuff working fine.
[Desire 816 Android Development] aftertzf:
I get a recurring loop of sim detection, network found, no sim card inserted...
[Desire 816 Android Development] icy_gt:
Oh ok. CM never worked for me. I think it might have kind of broke my LTE because i almost never get a signal with it now. Even after going back to stock and the de-sense mod. It might be better now but I'm not too sure
[Desire 816 Android Development] aftertzf:
I can try to grab a logcat if anyone would know what to do with it ;)
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I got similar errors with cm13 while my SIM seemed misprogrammed from upstream during my week+ of no lte.

it was grabbing network and dropping it, recognizing the SIM, misreading it, reading it, grabbing network but not data... cycling.

no time to mess with 12.1 unless I suddenly come up with a bunch of free time.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzxlyd:
Dear Sir/Madame,

I am having a few issues with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P5113) and I believe they may be related to apps installing themselves onto my tablet as system apps. I first started to have a problem with my music players – they will play fine until the screen times out then they stop playing until the screen is taken out of saver mode.

Another problem is that I am constantly getting a message that the system update has failed and I cannot update my tablet because I get a message saying my tablet has been modified. Finally, I am noticing that there are several apps that must be stored on my tablet as system apps – one is called sexy wallpaper, another is magic eye and I do not remember the name of the others but they just pop up even when my wi-fi is turned off.

I have tried to do a factory reset and a manual reset of the tablet to remove any apps but after the resets the wallpaper pops up again and the message of system update has failed appears. I have to believe all of the problems are related to the wallpaper app and/or the other apps that have forced themselves onto my tablet.

The other problem with my music players stopping when the display goes into saver began all of a sudden and I have had to change my display to timeout after 30 minutes so that I can listen to music on the tablet. It is not the worst option but it is a huge drain on my battery to keep the display on if I want to listen to music.

After I do a factory reset or a manual reset of the tablet, when setting up my device I have skipped the option of setting up the wi-fi but these apps show up as system apps. I move them to the trash bin immediately and it takes them a while to disappear from the apps or widget screen. I usually have to click on them after I have moved them to the trash bin to get them off the screen.

Also, I get the message that the system update has failed immediately after setting up the tablet following a reset.

I downloaded the firmware and the latest ODIN to do a flash stock ROM but I did not want to do anything until I knew that would be the best next step. Any assistance with these problems will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billysam:
The first answer to your problem is that happens when you are using a custom rom or kernel or on power saver mode, they set the cpu frequency to get low when the screen gets locked. so, when the screen goes off your cpu starts running on low frequency which is not enough to run music player seamlessly but good enough to save your battery.

Second msg is there because you have enabled root, congrats buddy. :good: so you won't be needing any more system updates from samsung now xda is your official update zone. the system files have been modified and thus system can't officially update.

Un-root is an option but since you are getting random apps installed on your pc, then it might be infected and staying on root is better since you can delete those apps causing you trouble. there are many ways to delete those apps even the samsung update app. You can get rid of. search for system app uninstallers.

or

Yes you can try the odin mode and flash stock rom, it will format and install with default. it's safe and will solve your problems.

I

would suggest you learn more from here, going back to stock and waiting for an official update which will never come out from samsung, xda is a great place to learn. best of luck
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzxlyd:
Billysam,

I got rid of the Aptoide apps when I tried to do the factory resets so they have been removed and as you say I guess the viruses were already embedded onto the tablet from using those games. Even with all of the Aptoide apps removed I am getting the update failure message and the wallpaper app (plus sometime others) are already on the tablet after the reset. I will look at the Odin flash and I saw the steps on Sammobile. I already downloaded the Odin and the firmware files that match the build of my tablet so I believe I am ready to proceed. Can you review the instructions I copied from the Sammobile website to ensure the steps are correct?

The Sammobile steps are as follows:

•	Extract (unzip) the firmware file

•	Download Odin v3.10.7

•	Extract Odin ZIP file

•	Open Odin v3.10.7

•	Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

•	Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

•	Add the firmware file to AP / PDA

•	Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

•	Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billysam:
"Backup all your Important files before doing any troubleshooting"

Yes that's right.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzxlyd:
Billysam,

I wanted to let you know that I was finally able to get back to this today and I followed your instructions on flashing the stock firmware through Odin. From what I can tell it worked just as you described – I was able to connect the Wi-Fi, then check the update and that update error did not appear. Additionally, the system loaded music player is working as it was prior to the problem and there has not been any wallpaper application trying to force itself onto my tablet.

I truly appreciate your assistance with everything. I may at some point in the future update my tablet to the latest android platform from the instructions contained within the XDA website. Especially, now that I know the caliber of expertise within the forums.

I believe from what you indicated that will require that I root the tablet to get to the most current android system but I am definitely going to take my time to fully research the steps required before I venture down that path. I will stay away from Aptoide as my app store from this point forward – I never had any problems with those apps previously – still I do not need the hassle since as you said they can be acquired from the Google store. Again, I truly appreciate your assistance.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billysam:
Glad that you've achieved a new level of expertise yourself. :D welcome to the community and do spend some time here, there are tons of great stuffs here that will take your android device to heights that no official stock update can give. rooting and getting on a custom rom not exploits your device or is harmful if you truly understand and utilise the power that it gives in your hand. you can take control of your device yourself rather than stay in the hands of malicious app developers and forced sponsored bloatwares.

Hi Guys,

I have searched and searched but cant find a link or the actual files but could someone be so kind as to send me the 4 T-mobile notification sounds. I have been messing around with lots of different ROM versions for my Tmobile Vario II (hermes), and saved them before I flashed new ROMs, but I accidently deleted them by mistake!!!

Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] theshaz:
Took the plunge last weekend.

Had the phone for about 4 days along with the watch and here are my impressions so far...

My Old Note 4:

Its been a good solid phone. No major complaints. My son (17) will destroy it within weeks I am sure. :rolleyes:

Note 5:

Sammy went back to the slick device. This thing is like holding on to wet ice. The Note 4 had that pleather back and I used it with out a case. I have the clear case on order thru Amazon now. I cant see any difference between the screen on the 4 to the 5.

Battery. Oh yeah. In just a few days I can see the difference. Is it the new chip-set or OS optimization? But this Note 5 does have longer battery.

Camera. Low light pictures, getting better and better. Went to a company Christmas party the 1st night I owned it. Took some pics and were impressed.

OS. Touchwiz is getting old. I have gone Sammy for 4 phones in a row now. HTC you better get with it! I will probably use a 3rd party launcher soon.

Memory. OK this is where I think I might regret changing phones. Note 4 32gb internal & 64gb sd card. I just lost 64 gb of space. Yes, yes I can put more stuff on the cloud and I do live in a metropolitan area (Tampa, FL) with moderately decent coverage. But you still run into spots where its either no connection or slow (3g) and I think I will miss that 64gb. But I just got it. So I might have to come back and make an addition with a rant.

Gear S2:

Jeez, I haven't worn a watch in years. I still sometime glance at my wrist wondering what time it is only to see bare skin and then go reaching for my phone. 1st impressions have been good. Weight & feel. I am a big guy but the watch does not feel large or heavy, but it does feel solid. Screen in daylight, I had no issue with seeing the screen in full Florida sunshine. I do like having the notification sound off and just the vibrate. So only I know I got a message. Its nice if your in a meeting.

Only app I installed was the Magic 8 Ball - to assist in making major work decisions. I am bouncing around on watch faces, its nice seeing an analog watch, its been so long in this digital age but IMHO it just looks good.

Spinning bezel.......awesome idea, makes navigating a breeze.

Phone calls, I got the version that has its own number - Tmo had some promo and the boss (my wife said yes) and this was a early Xmas present. But i have made and received a few calls. Its nice not having to go grabbing for the phone.
