why you didn't wait for the brand-new Nexus 2016?it will be better than 6P.

Just asking.ʕ•ٹ•ʔ
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
$$$

I know I complained about Virgin Mobile having "year old" phones but this year old Nexus 6P is better in quality and price than anything VM releases as new.

I suppose I could've waited and bought the new Pixel Phone when it comes out but it will probably cost twice what I paid for this 128GB one.

Installed CM13 all works well except 2 things get clock has stopped when booting up and if i boot into recovery the phone unmounts the sd card and it is not accessable through trwp recovery's file manager and it won't let me mount or pick sdcard to get zips
[Desire 816 Android Development] Al Edson:
Thank you!!!

Thank you
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
do you have xposed framework installed by chance? i know that snapchat does that crap too. to fix i uninstall ONLY the framework using the uninstall zip from recovery reboot sign into snapchat and verify its running all good then reboot and reinstall the framework. I don't lose my xposed apps or any of its data but afterwords snapchat will work just fine. I'm not familiar with pokemon go but maybe the principle is the same

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

curious why it calls it a link and also how you managed to have that file in 1969... either way maybe that might be what causing an issue maybe something to do with the clock? Just a guess
[Desire 816 Android Development] retsamsu:
Nice rom Ive used.

CM 13 use smoothly on desire 816 a5ul taiwan.

Some question to ask.

1. Could I donate this rom for CM14 or CM13?

2. desire 816 has nfc swp-sim support, could you add this in rom?

Thanks.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
1) I always welcome donations.

2) i think cm is missing support for this, quick search finds this quote

thanks for feedback
[Desire 816 Android Development] fernoct:
Hi, I tried the rom. Looked awsome.

Seems it lacks Google contact sync, any idea to fix it.

Thanks [MENTION=2980661]bigsupersquid[/MENTION] for the hard work!
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
gapps.

Probably arm-6.0 pico package from opengapps.org
[Desire 816 Android Development] fernoct:
Tried this earlier too. There's a FC msg displaying and I couldn't get restored my contacts.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I'd have to clean flash and install gapps to test that out, been using microg instead of closed source Google apps for couple months now. I'll look into it later. might try an older release of opengapps
[Desire 816 Android Development] fernoct:
Thanks dude. Newest release of gapps fixed it. Sorry for bothering.

MIUI 8 with Marshmallow has come out . [MENTION=2980661]bigsupersquid[/MENTION] Do you interested in it ?

Just for asking about Miui 8 on 816 is possible or not =P

How about bigsuperROM on 816?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Haven't messed with MIUI before, I'd sure like to have the time to build all sorts of different android flavors. It usually takes as much time to fix device folders between rom variants as a new android version though. If I can get em working at all.

Heh, bigsuperrom was souped up pretty good for the Optimus v/s but a lot of what I crammed in there is default in cm. It just wouldn't fit in an internal rom and I named the os2sd (run android completely from Sd card) version bigsuperrom partly as a play on my username but partly because it had over 2x the content of any other cm rom on that device. The only thing I remember adding that's not built in cm by default is dashplayer which might help with some videos.

Might add dashplayer to the a5 roms later. But they're so close to vanilla cm I'm just leaving them labeled unofficial cm like the build system defaults to.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Ed128:
Thanks for this discussion, I just remembered an old, stock Optimus V in my desk drawer. Might have a little fun with it and learn a few things in the process!
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Just fyi, I'm pretty sure my rom is the most up to date for the v (mirage gingerbread close second) but it hasn't been updated in a few years.

I should but haven't.

So the gapps are sadly dated and there are some glitches that never got ironed out. But most of the newer gapps don't work on armv6 anyway, especially gmscore.

Use gingerbreak to root it, works great and very simple.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Ed128:
Thanks, I will proceed with caution and not hold you accountable if I brick it. Just experimenting with it for the fun of it. My CM13 HTC 816 is still my go-to device and it is working great thanks to you.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
You'll need a decent quality Sd card for my os2sd rom. Otherwise I'd advise using mirage.

It's really hard to brick an ov since the zv9 update came available.
[Desire 816 Android Development] frank9184:
Will you post a new version with cm upstream? It's been a long time since you built last version. I want to know what do cm update for?

BTY,how is the CM14?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
should, for 12 and 13. new security patches again soon though those security patches just keep coming except for kitkat on down... boo.

They add tweaks and fixes mostly.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
took a pass at cm13, messed up my device folder for that branch by accident. got to fix it up, needs time.

cm14 stubborn, no progress
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
one more pass at cm13 to get the carrier xml back in, and i think it'll be OK

14.1 building to test
[Desire 816 Android Development] frank9184:
Great! Hope ril will be fixed in cm 14.1.

Do you build the official case feature in newest version?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
still haven't had time to decompile it to search for the correct device event node name. no high hopes about ril but never know.

Halloween Scare

CM13 working absolutely beautifully for 2 weeks. Decided to do a back-up, then re-boot. Unfortunately went into a bootloop and nothing I could do with the buttons would get it out. Left it overnight, still in bootloop this morning. So, took off back and disconnected battery carefully. After 10 minutes, reconnected battery and it booted. Whew! Did some research, looks like I should have wiped cache and davelik after I backed-up and before I re-booted. Hope this helps someone from having same problem.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
also, you can force the phone to turn off by holding power+volume up for ten seconds. it likes to reboot after that so i usually try to hold power+volume down as soon as the screen blanks out to put it in hboot for recovery or power off.
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
not sure if anyone mentioned but just for reference if anyone is using a hybrid sd card with this ROM is seems to cause a lot of problems on the phone and apps moved to the card just a heads up not sure what could fix this but probably more of a system thing. TONS of random boots and now is stuck in a bootloop.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Ed128:
My experience has been quite different. Using 64GB Sandisk about 1/3 adopted storage and 2/3 external storage. Set it up with app Root Essentials from Play Store. Had to reflash ROM and GAPPS after setting up card. Having no problems but see comments from others who have had problems. Do a search for adopted storage on this thread for other comments.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I used to run my Optimus V completely from the card, and noticed through a lot of different cards that some are high-quality high speed, work great and smooth without errors or glitches.

many cards I have bought are not high-quality high speed, and some of them barely even will run Gingerbread from card. Weak.

Summary, card quality matters if you're running apps off of them.
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
I actually kind of confirmed this I had a 64GB unknown brand card and the phone murdered it lol. went out and bought a 128GB samsung class 10 card and it runs great and all that but didnt have problems until shortly after i changed it to hybrid. (I used the adb method) to covert 1/4 adopted to 3/4 external as well (32GB internal 87GB external). I have since posted re installed the ROM (noticed a CM14 build tried it and SIM barely ever worked) then reinstalled 13 and have yet for it to lag or reboot on me maybe that was the key. Will update later with how its going maybe that's the fix just to run it hybrid straight out of the gate instead of doing it while the ram is already installed. Side note i wiped everything except external storage as i always do whenever i install any ROM.
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
small update. Been running clean rom with my stuff and snapchat still having tons of issues with working on SD card not a big deal but for someone who uses it. Strange new issue with ringtone and notifications sometimes they work sometimes they don't, This is the first time i experienced that but its not a huge deal. everything else seems to be okay and the random reboots have stopped as far as i can tell.

Latest news for both 13&14?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:

[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Update: 750W power supply unit finally gave up the ghost. Won't even turn on anymore.

Attempting to user another, 450W, lower-than-recommended power level PSU, with enough extra SATA power connectors spliced onto the older IDE power wires to run my SSD RAID array and system SSDs. Can't be much worse than a failing decent wattage model at this point.

Sick of slaving for rich people making them plenty of money while they happily cut every possible corner in employee pay and production supplies, gave one or two week notice at the tshirt mines.

So now trying to get repair tech job with a good reference at an Apple store (yeah, it's not Linux or Android, but at least it's not Microsoft.)

Plus auto repair, house maintenance, and such on the side to try to stay solvent.

So it's likely to be a minute before I can afford to replace that PSU in my build computer. Hopefully the little one will hold up a while.

Also gonna put up a kickstarter project for ROM development on A5, specifically including dual sim models (with adequate funding, I could include MTK chips too; the project would allow me to buy hardware samples with cell service for proper development and full support.) Most OS projects I've researched on kickstarter have failed miserably, but maybe I'll succeed where others sank. At least it's free to put up the project. If it somehow works out then I can actually do what I enjoy and am good at full time, which would be awesome for me... And the community would gain more solid open source support for this (and potentially other) device(s) which would also be pretty cool.
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
Update #2: phone is in such an aggressive state after updating a few apps (haven't got it to turn on for a few hours and died while i was asleep just constant boot loop)also has to restart at least twice no matter what reboot i put into it. very confident its because it won't play nice with the SD card so it must just be a luck of the draw type deal or the method i used is not good enough. most likely rolling back into just the internal as storage for apps against my better judgement.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Weak sd cards seem pretty common. The only ones I've bought that perform well were name brand sandisk bought at full price.

Lexar cards and no-name cards bought on sale have consistently treated me badly.
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
Brand new Samsung bought from store at full price
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Oh yeah, my 64GB Samsung high speed card had treated me OK. I don't really know what the issue is. You could pastebin crash logs to look at for maybe figuring it out.
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
That'll be my next thing I'm gonna try it with root essentials and see if that helps any and then remove some apps that remained consistent through this test period. Otherwise that'll be the next step running another fresh install with redone adopted storage.
[Desire 816 Android Development] smallbutcrafty:
I'm having the same problem. Anyone have a solution for this yet?
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
Still testing seems to be luck of the draw ATM will update my stability in a week or so so far after about 24 hours it has been stable
[Desire 816 Android Development] matamata15c:
Update from CM14.1?

Enviado desde mi ALE-L21 mediante Tapatalk
[Desire 816 Android Development] chaosreaper95:
Update: Phone has been perfectly stable since last talked about SD card issue. I used the root essentials method stated from ed128 and it seems to have done something the conventional way did not or removal of certain apps seemed to fix. if your gonna run adoptable storage highly recommend using root essentials method plus its much easier to do than adb method for anyone having issues in that department!

CM13 virgin desire 816 not receiving texts only. After update

I installed the update, but while it was doing its thing, an error occurred and it restarted normally. Nothing seems wrong except that I still am not receiving texts messages. Can call, receive calls, use data, and send texts. Just not receiving.

I no longer have stock so reverting is not much if an option.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried the lte fix at all? Could just need a rebuilt database that may fix it for you

I accessed the lineageos14.1 folder but there are different .zip files with the same name: which is the right (means most updated) one ?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
not the archive folder, the main page that the OP links to.

There should only be one each Lineage and cm13 ROM zip for each device family (ul,dwg) and one matching md5 zip for each.

rom works great, except for MMS. Rarely will an MMS download. Click the download message button over and over and nothing. Got a 3G signal, and wifi, but nothing. Tried to MMS fixed from the early posts, to no effect. When on the rare occasions downloading MMS actually work, there seems to be nothing different on my end...
[Desire 816 Android Development] ryudragoon:
So I finally got around to jumping back to stock Lollipop to fix my GPS error. I want to update to Marshmellow and I want to be able to use my SD Card as primary storage. How do I go about doing this properly? I attempted to do this before reverting to stock but my camera wouldn't function and certain apps would uninstall after reboot.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
room service looks OK.

You're looking for this kind of thing for what errored while building:

make: *** No rule to make target `/home/andrew/android/systemCM13.0/out/target/product/a5ul/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libcamera_parameters_ext_intermediates/export_includes', needed by `/home/andrew/android/systemCM13.0/out/target/product/a5ul/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libcamera_client_intermediates/import_includes'. Stop.

In this case it's wanting libcamera_parameters_ext, which is in the device folder, but not specified to build.

It's in BoardConfigCommon.mk, and wants to be in a5-common.mk and libshims/Android.mk too.

Append to libshims/Android.mk

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := \

frameworks/av/include

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := \

CameraParameters.cpp \

CameraParameters_EXT.cpp

LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_OUT_SHARED_LIBRARIES)

LOCAL_MODULE := libcamera_parameters_ext

LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional

include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)

In the device makefile, add libcamera_parameters_ext to a PRODUCT PACKAGES line.

That part will build then, but may not be as originally intended.

When you get an error like that you can sometimes

grep -r "thing that didn't build" device/htc

to find where it's called for.

I'll have a look but really I suspect the issue is deeper than props or apns.

However... After my service was cut off for not paying quickly enough yesterday, I've not gotten sim function. I can use the phone with 3g and cell service as long as the sim is removed since paying my account, but with it installed, I get "no service", can't use any cell functions or mobile data.

Cm12 and 13, both with backups that were working just fine until my service got the axe. I fear I'll have to revert to a stock ROM to get my sim active again.

//edit: think upstream at vm is my lte issue. I can force 3g in settings and it works fine. LTE kills my whole cell service though.

what about HTC 816 a5_ul 4G single sim verison any luck :)
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Some ul models are fine and others no service.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
I followed your instructions, and modified android.mk, device.mk, and the libsim. However, I got this error:

make: *** No rule to make target `/home/andrew/android/systemCM13.0/out/target/product/a5ul/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libcamera_parameters_ext_intermediates/export_includes', needed by `/home/andrew/android/systemCM13.0/out/target/product/a5ul/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libcamera_client_intermediates/import_includes'. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

I tried to add the "libcamera_parameters_ext" to different .mk files, but that didn't help. Also, the grep -r cmd didn't help.

What are all the .mk files that might need the lincamera_parameters_ext added to their project file lines?

Thanks.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Thought that was it. You can try removing the line from board config common instead of trying to make it build it.

Can't really say more until home with computer.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
I don't see anything concering camera_properties_ext in the board config.

Actually, I edited a5-common.mk and the android.mk in the libshims folder to contain camera_properties_ext. Should I modify the android.mk in the base a5-common folder too?

Thanks. I may just have to build using your sources rather than Grarak's.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Not sure yet. But it's libcamera_parameters_ext, have to have the lib on there.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
OK, yeah, I used that lib, just missed typed it.

[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I haven't downloaded the 1.2G ruu file.

In mobile network settings, forcing 3g instead of 4g brought back my cell service, but not lte. I can at least use my sim card now, but no lte.

Mine, may be virgin mobile instead of the ROM, 5.1.1 works worse that 6.0 for me right now.

Dunno yet.
[Desire 816 Android Development] joewyg:
whats your device model
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
OK, me too.

three days into my renewed service plan, without working lte data, barely functional 3g data, back and forth between 5.1.1 and 6.0 installs, my usage on the virgin mobile site says almost 3Gb of data flow.

bunk.

sorry. I'll post warning in op.
[Desire 816 Android Development] NotRankin:
Getting this as well. I went out for about 4 hours, and usage was at a 1/4th of a GB by Android OS.

Two things I noticed as well, one being strange things with Link2SD, it seems it doesn't auto mount the second partition of the SD card, and I had to manually add the script via ADB. Not sure if that's something you want to fix or not, just figured I'd list it.

Another thing I found is battery usage is AWFUL with Data Roaming on (the toggle under cellular networks). Turned that off and battery went from 5-8 hours to the usual 24+ hours. Not sure if the roaming has anything to do with the data usage as well, but I kept it on practically all the time in my 5.1 rom.

Just some things I found.

[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
reverted to stock last night to be able to talk with virgin mobile this morning. they say the lte service is down in my area (not my sim functionality) with no prediction of when it'll be repaired.

they also verified my data overage, but couldn't give me any details (surprise surprise.)

they wanted to give me HTC's number to complain at them :p

lot of good that'd do with what's probably a custom rom problem.

besides, I would rather save up my corporate complaints for Polaroid who spent nearly five years dodging my requests for kernel source code and eventually admitted they're not going to follow the GPL. their excuse is the factory that manufactured the tablet closed and they've "lost" the information.

wish I had six months uninterrupted to reverse engineer their poor work and post the source publicly with pointed comments about their lousy support.

so anyway, the no lte here is supposedly a service problem rather than a rom issue.

as far as the data leak goes I'll have to use some kind of sniffer to see what's eating bandwidth from its hiding place.
[Desire 816 Android Development] leeb0z:
We must live in the same area then...I called vm back after they didn't call back when they said they would. They told me I had a 4G outage in my area...and didn't know why I wasn't told that 4 days ago when I originally called
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I'll have to call them back today, they never bothered to return mine either.

at this point my service has been down for 6 days.

they're going to have to credit me back my data overage or something to justify this $35 plan, I have a perfectly good 3g $25 plan I've got mothballed so I can use this device with 4g.

central Missouri by the way. I'll bet the problem isn't local.
