Ok, got it ... I need to replace "Samsung" with "htc" in my /System/build.prop file and reboot. I will give that a try later tonight.
[Samsung Gear S2] Cdub1976:
Correct. Just remember when you update to a new nightly you'll have to edit the build prop again.
[Samsung Gear S2] mswal2846:
Is it just the change to "build.prop and reboot" or do I need to go back through reinstalling everything again?
[Samsung Gear S2] Cdub1976:
Please refer to step 10. You won't need to install anything after the initial install.
[Samsung Gear S2] mswal2846:
It works!! Thank you so much!!

Sorry I don't have experience with the 2neo. Have you tried to reset the watch before you try to connect to your phone?
[Samsung Gear S2] armsel:
I did... Still the same...

I also followed the instructions to Fix "Galaxy Gear Connecting" forever here:

http://www.knowyourmobile.com/mobile-phones/samsung-gear-2/22110/how-connect-samsung-gear-2-any-android-phone

Installed the bunch of additional apps (provided in Connecting-Fix.zip) - all installed fine, except weather provider, still no connection.
[Samsung Gear S2] Drag-On:
This worked nicely for me!

But it also "breaks" the IR blaster.... Any ideas on that front?

Thanks in advance and great little tip!
[Samsung Gear S2] armsel:
I got it working - but by porting Android Wear 5.1.1 to it - following this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/gear-2/development/please-help-kernel-compiling-android-t2992953

It even became more functional, but it is now loosing charge much faster then when it was on tizen OS (it was lasting me 5-6 days of use (only during business hours), I guess now it will last about 2 business days)- still, so far I am quite happy with the trade off! ;)
[Samsung Gear S2] Cdub1976:
Sorry. Once you edit the build prop no chance at using your ir blaster. Tradeoffs :)

Here's the equipment I'm working with:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM T230NU on 4.4.2 with KingRoot (for now).

Sony XBR850C with built in Android.

AppleTV 4th Gen.

I have tried several solutions and nothing works. The TV has Chromecast built in (called GoogleCast) but it connects very briefly and then I get a message on the tablet stating "Casting to the XBR850C has ended"

I've used several different apps including ScreenStream, MirrorBeta, MiraCast Shortcut, etc... and tweaks like MirrorcastEnabler.

I am looking for a system-wide mirroring solution, I want the TV screen to reflect whatever's on my tablet screen whether I'm in an app like TBS or HBOGo or on the Setting screen.

Honestly, I'm floored that it's been this complicated and challenging. I have an iPhone and this feature is built in and works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KowboyBebop:
Every time I turn the screen off, the phone vibrates 2 times with about 5 seconds delay. I have tracked this vibration down to fingerprint scanner. Its seems to be an indication of it going to sleep. When you turn the screen off, you can place your finger on the scanner and it will wake the screen up. This function is active for few seconds, and then the scanner goes to sleep (signalized by the vibration).

Anyone know how to turn this notification off? Or even better, how to disable this whole function entirely so the scanner sleeps immediately after screen goes off?

Additional information

the Vibration occurs even if you turn the screen on after turning it off but before the vibration (seems irregular though)

the time of the vibration changes with the lock time setting

turning off notification vibrations entirely helps, but I dont want to do that

not using the fingerprint unlock helps too, but I would prefer to keep using it

Hey. My g928c is runnin on custom rom/kernel. Not sure that could be the same or not but when I turn off the screen, it doesnt wake without pressing home or power button. Maybe you use easyHome app or kind of app which uses fingerprint sensor. My device doesnt wake up after turned the screen off and placing a finger on the scanner or etc. As I remember, easyHome app has got that wake up option but in one of older versions. I hope you solve it..
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KowboyBebop:
Oh, I was sure this behavior was caused by the sensor, but now that I actually switched back default locker, it doesnt do it. So the issue is entirely in the Hi Locker I am using.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Лithium-Фusion:
Glad to know you solved it. Im using default lockscreen and never wondered any others lol. Maybe you try{if didnt} Go launcher's go locker etc. Dont know anything more in this case sorry, good luck.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KowboyBebop:
I tried few other alternatives and honestly they were way too cumbersome and bloated. For now I revoked Hi Locker's permission to make notifications, which got rid of the vibration. I hope nothing broke with this modification. Thanks for getting me on track.

What is CAF kernel and why is it important?

CAF is a project focusing on widespreading the use of msm chipsets, including repositories where qcom developers maintain code for various platforms, android and linux included.

ok i got you! but why it is important for our device?

CAF kernel brings us upstream enhacements needed to make our device future proof for upcoming android versions.

How does using CAF benefit the device/kernel?

It's directly supported by Qualcomm and it's generally a more optimized branch for Snapdragon phones.

so what about mainline kernel?

the mainline kernel can have changes that can cause regressions and possibly conflict with CAF changes. so, upstream merges are not merged into CAF.

you can find Code Aurora releases here : https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release

This is effort to keep ferrari updated with Code Aurora's latest kernel sources.

kernel sources for ferrari can be found here : https://github.com/ferrari-dev/android_kernel_xiaomi_ferrari

tags info

chipset: msm8916_64
tag: LA.BR.1.2.9-01810-8x16.0
android: 07.01.01
date: February 24, 2017

Current Status

I have merged Xiaomi's changes over the CAF tag LA.BR.1.1.3-06510-8x16.0 with not major reverts or changes. Xiaomi has made a lot of un-necessary changes, which aren't needed.

The goal is to get a stable CAF kernel with minimal changes (viz. without Xiaomi's un-necessary cruft) and squish bugs until the kernel is stable.

builds can be found here in the arch/arm64/boot folder when you compile from source.

you can find me at #ferrari-dev on freenode IRC if you want to chat.

Patches and suggestions are welcome :)

this kernel is built and tested upon official firmware V8.1.5.0.LXIMIDI.

... wait?

yes.

will it work on firmware 6.6.10.0?

... sort of, but i am not looking at supporting it anymore.

why firmware v8.1.5.0? why not stick with 6.6.10.0 then?

... closure.

The goal is to get a stable CAF kernel with minimal changes (viz. without Xiaomi's un-necessary cruft) and squish bugs until the kernel is stable.

sound recorder works only with headset mic

miui support

anything and everything else that's (probably) caused by ROM

i'd like to help

thanks! there's much work left to be done, but all boils down to the following

re-diff'ing the dts files with v8.x firmware dts, to see if I missed something

figure out and fix camera drivers (dts & camera_v2 drivers)

adding all the necessary drivers (sensors, etc)

selectively adding back xiaomi's code changes; we don't need all their cruft, eg: /sys/bootinfo

and lots of bug fixes :)

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] faizauthar12:
some question O.o,well i confused with MSM thing

the question is,why we are using msm 8916,but we are using msm 8939 ,some common driver O.o ? ,or every msm is connected each other
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] thewisenerd:
This is not a kernel meant for everyday usage except if like to live on the edge. This kernel will fail at some point, because we haven't got to the point of making it entirely bug-free. Also, stability is quite a relative term.

If MIUI feels smoother than custom ROMs, we do not know what sorcery Xiaomi did with their sources to get it into being so. Try asking them that. And also, their latest MIUI v7's updated firmware doesn't work with the kernel sources they provided. "We support OSS" does not mean you provide the sources for software you shipped months ago.

The sleep of death is an issue which I've faced, but haven't been able to log quite. Forcing a restart in that state (pressing all three buttons together(?)) would induce a hard reset, which essentially clears out ramoops. Continually logging kmsg in the background would be an option.

Speaking of bugs, the USB seems to be connected/disconnected quite often during charging/using the USB. I am not sure what is causing this yet.

Code Aurora groups devices together based on similarities in architecture. That is the reason why you'll find the Snapdragon 410, and Snapdragon 615 (and possibly others?) under msm8916_64. Also, their tags naming convention is quite complex in itself, after all, they have to support not one, but ALL of the platforms released by qualcomm. I quote myself, on this regard.

tl;dr: msm8916_64 is the platform we need to follow since msm8939 does not exist and is maintained under msm8916_64.

Let.s update the kernel version ,more stable i think ,and fluid ,or we need a new gov ,

How about adding some good tweaks to the kernel source (ur caf repo,ferrari dev group)
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] thewisenerd:
i do not want to update the kernel version for the very reasons i state in the OP, "the mainline kernel can have changes that can cause regressions and possibly conflict with CAF changes".

Also, [MENTION=4832023]omerjerk[/MENTION] observed that updating the kernel version causes issues with Clash of Clans; and apparently, it's a famous (enough) game to stop users from using a particular kernel because of the issue.

no. the answer is never about adding good tweaks or new governors. CAF has a stable enough interactive governor, which should theoretically work well. all the tweaking should be able to be done by the user side and the kernel should provide options for this. however, if the default CAF kernel itself lags for us, then, it is probably something wrong with the device bringup in kernel.

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] haikalizz:
You can try the patch some user posted in my thread for the Miui7 fix... Also you just added what xiaomi changed in the sources right? No other added stuff from other CAF sources?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] thewisenerd:
i wonder if this is about the firmware provided by [MENTION=347371]Tsu[/MENTION]tsey (here) for MIUI 7. If yes, I would like to know what and how different it is from the MIUI global firmware already available on my basket build firmware-lp-6.6.10.0.zip?

The second part of your question is not very clear.

I did change the CAF source, as in: I changed the "base" on which I added only xiaomi's changes.

You can have a look at github for all the commits from day zero.
