[LG L Fino ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] christpp:
development status and future - 22/08/2016

Hello L Fino users,

Since the last release, I have been trying to get some of the remaining issues solved, mainly the display's blue flashes and the random reboots. So far, I have nothing new to share. Time is moving though and the Android Nougat release is around the corner so, I believe that some serious decisions have to be made about the development for this device. I could make the decision to terminate the development of CyanogenMod 12.1 and go for a 13.0 release by myself, but since I believe I am not the only one using this rom and I am a person that favours communities and likes to listen to people's opinions, I have created a poll about the future of the development.

The main question of the poll is "Terminate CM12.1 development and start CM13.0 port" , you can vote here: http://goo.gl/OIHpHl

Before voting, please let me present the current status of the CyanogenMod 12.1 port. Following is a list of the remaining issues that need to be taken care of:

Display shows some blue flashes under some conditions. I have not came to a conclusion about what causes this, but from my research, it seems that the device's display hardware is somewhat special and the android display code/configuration needs some tweaking.

Sound calibration fails. Especially with AudioFX on, sound can have "crackles" at high volumes. The stock kernel uses a modified sound driver but I haven't tried to build the kernel with it and see if it does any difference. There is a previous post in this thread that involves a rom tweak that makes sound better, I have not tested that by myself.

Device randomly reboots. No info can be gathered on this issue, since no tombstones can be found and nothing can be gotten from the bugreport. Different users get these reboots at different intervals. My assumption is that they are coming from a bad communication between the modem and the kernel, or from device overheating.

Device cannot be connected on Windows prior to version 10 with the LG driver installed. I have not tried to solve this, but I believe it could be easily solvable. I have been keeping it in the low priority list because it does not really get the device unusable.

IMX219 camera sensor produces white artifacts on images. There has been a patch posted on this thread that solves this. I am still trying to understand what this patch does to the device except changing the name from l70pn to l70pds, that is why I have not included it yet. If the name change is the solution, that will never get included, since there are hi841 users out there too. If anyone has more info on this, please let me know!

Some apps do not render correctly on the screen. This seems to be android only (not kernel) related. Considered low priority.

Some issues are reported with double touch to wake driver while headphones are plugged in. Really weird issue and difficult to debug. Since this is a relatively new issue (thanks [MENTION=5149142]proudlytm[/MENTION]) I have not yet any information on it

D295 users: If you experience any special issues on your device, please inform me so I update this list. I do not have access to a D295, so I do not know if any device specific issues exist.

Hope this covers the current status of the CM12.1 port. If I remember anything else, I will update the post.

Please vote only once on the poll page, respect the process and the reason it is carried out!

Thanks to all the people helping by any means on this development, thank you all for your support and feedback
