It's in beta and it's only the second release out so yeah....

I fixed the storage problem by flashing emulated memory patch in another ROM although I haven't run into any patch specific to the kernel or ROM.(I believe you unpack the boot.img and edit the fstab files for it but I can't try anything at the moment.)

Double tap was removed because there were many against it,try something like kernel auditor,if it isn't implemented yet it will be in the upcoming releases

Ty for testing
[Android General] andreidi:
I'll stick to the older kernel for now. Can't wait for a clean bugless version.

Kernel 3.10.103

What/where/who is the origins of this 3.10.103 kernel?

There's more than one moderator, I think one would be able to reply, I'd message all of them.

:laugh: LMAO kernel 3.10.103 sounds like a win all round, seriously

Imagine RR 5.8.x on kernel 3.10.103 haha :cowboy:

[Android General] northwindtrades:
Trolm(4pda)started talks of it,couldn't jumb in cuz I never knew Russian,it's based on 3.4.67 instead of 3.10.54(Flashing over stock LP caused bootloop) might be because of the battery life thats all I know.

Newer kernel version should be able to run nougat so yeah:) [MENTION=6088166]kemo12533[/MENTION] nice to see you active again

how can I update to lollipop any way but not with CM or this customs

can someone help,im facing signal drop on emui 3.0,i think ther kernel cause the problem,kernel luckass.gmhost cause i use rr 5.7.3 same kernel same problem does anyone had a fix patch on this one?:(
[Android General] mahmoud_10th:
i would like to get a rom or help to port one with :

stable sim cards - CM have issues "signal drops after call end for 30 sec.

notification call like lollipop call "not the destroyer call i afraid of getting a call on kitkat my work will not be saved "

good battery use . CM Eats my battery - partially handled with kernel tweaks

good camera app or stock " handeld" - by installing the stock camera app

the wake-lock gesture swipe to unlock & shake lock
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Try to port any AOSP based custom ROM instead eg valid,tipsy,slimrom etc.....

There are a lot of guides for it ,gesture wake must be turned on from your stock kernel,luck@s is our custom kernel provider and already having gesture wake I've never tried to do it.

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

I thought emui uses our stock 3.10.54 kernel and not the luck@s custom one.

Edit: sorry got confused ,it's not he kernels fault as it works fine in the stock firmware
[Android General] andreidi:
Any news on this?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
The link is not enough ,the uploader must enable access to others so they can view it and he's hasn't given access yet or its fake

I found this in VK.com A5000 group https://vk.com/lenovo_a5000 (translated from Russian with Google Translate):

LineageOS 13 core 3.10.103

Cyanogen company was created around CyanogenMod in September 2013, and before that the development of firmware on a non-engaged enthusiasts, concerned its development. They decided to monetize its popularity and bring it to the smart phone manufacturers and service developers.

What is the difference between the CM and Lineage OS?

Lineage OS replaces the brand Cyanogenmod, and no difference is no, is that Lineage OS simply gets rid of traces of the CM and restores all services again.

Features not noticeable except the new name and all ... Divanodavy do not contact us here and that there are no LineageOS 13 poyuzat it is on the internet and there's a decent number of assembly! All good ... Yes, and it is our first port of New goda? Good luck in the installation ...

Also list with all roms here: https://vk.com/topic-111995812_35099642 - replace "lenovo_a5000mtkroom" from any link with "lenovo_a5000" for the links to work properly.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
The above link shared by [MENTION=5862131]andreidi[/MENTION] is legit,I've seen a lot of the guys in this team in 4pda .Front camera isn't fixed yet for the 3.10.103 yet.
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
No, He deleted his post on the page. It's fake i suppose :(
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Which ROM did he say it was?

Anyway i'm pretty sure that we'll never have a shortage of Roms because of the recent ROM developing team
[Android General] andreidi:
I guess it's the "Emulated memory patch for cm13_A5000.zip", but I can't find it anywhere. Can you please share a link of this or the patch you used?

LE: I found it, under CM 13.1 links. Tested it and it works. Backed up boot, then flashed zip, then restored boot, because otherwise I get boot img from the zip and bootloop. Now I think inputting the correct serial number of my sdcard in storage.xml would also allow for SD card use as well.

What about fixing not vibrating capacitive buttons even if settings-audio-vibrate on touch is enabled? Maybe editing some files in root, but which ones? I also don't know if this is a bug or forced off by default in RR 5.7.4 with kernel 3.10.103...
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
He said it's RR 5.8.0 Android 7.1.1
[Android General] northwindtrades:
I am so sorry I just forgot.you need to backup boot in twrp then flash SD card for cm13 and then restore boot that got me both detecting.not emulated memory patch.As for vibration don't know don't care:silly:

Edit: tried this and it isn't working in this one

Let me know if you've found any other workaround.I can only get home 12th this month to make my own patch
[Android General] andreidi:
I tried SD patch for CM13, but this still gives me only SD card seen in stock File Manager. If i try emulated memory patch, I only see Internal Memory, the SD card can only be seen as a read-only and accessible only by dragging top menu and choosing explore. It seems the SD card gets seen similar to a USB storage. File Manager doesn't show me no SD card and if I manually browse storage folder in root, I see a folder named with my sd card serial number, but it's empty. So, it seems this rom can only work with single memory storage: only internal or only sd.

Also, it is very weird that at first boot, there is an empty folder named "storage" on the SD card which is created by the ROM during setup. This folder is usually seen on marshmallow roms, but it's on the internal memory, not on sd card. This folder is also seen on stock lollipop from pc over MTP depending on the memory set as default: internal or sd. I once deleted this folder which also deleted all my files on that storage.

Bottom physical buttons (menu, home, back) vibration was pretty useful to receive confirmation that the button was really pressed, now I sometimes tend to miss it and I double the command issued and it drives me crazy.

Therefore, I think this RR 5.7.4 is a hard-modified one with things set as default and impossible to change... I also think this about the sd card detection: in RR 5.7.4 for older kernel, it was also possible to format sd card as internal memory or let it as storage memory, but this options are not available in RR 5.7.4 for newer kernel.
[Android General] 7awliet:
[MENTION=5862131]andreidi[/MENTION] in the last paragraph of your last reply, do you mean the kernel of this new RR 5.7.4 is hard-modified or the ROM itself? And this is kernel 3.10.103 you're both talking about here, when you say 'newer kernel', right?

Also, in [MENTION=7387201]northwindtrades[/MENTION] first reply they mentioned editing the fstab, Kernel Adiutor (not a typo), and some other stuff. Did you try this?

I highly suggest comparing this 'new' RR 5.7.4 with the few other builds we have lying around here. Use WinMerge, you'll get a highly detailed comparison of every file changed. Also unpack the boot.img (using bootimg.exe and the shell scripts found in MTKbootimg.zip - must have tool) and look at the kernel files. You can use Notepad++ comparison feature to get a great view of what may have been hard-modified, then you can change it to your liking. WinMerge may work too. If you know what you're doing, you can try looking at some files with a hex editor for comparison too - but that may not be necessary.
[Android General] andreidi:
[MENTION=7523876]7awliet[/MENTION], thanks a lot for your tips. I was saying the RR 5.7.4 built for kernel 3.10.103 may have been hard-modified, but your idea that the kernel itself might also be in the same situation regarding attached functions isn't out of the question. Thanks a lot for the tips, I'm pretty beginner in this kind of stuff, but I'm a fast-learner. I would certainly succeed in comparing with notepad++, now that you taught me even how to unpack boot.img. But what does editing fstab mean and how it is done? Thanks again.
[Android General] ahmedmoselhi:
[MENTION=7387201]northwindtrades[/MENTION] can you please post a link for emulated memory patch you used to solve your problem
[Android General] northwindtrades:
https://yadi.sk/d/D3GDEe8cvbJUp both storage patch is there

Remember the kernel here is 3.4.67 so after flashing ROM backup its boot ,then flash the patch and then restore the boot of the ROM or else you'll get bootloop.SD card can be accessed like USB storage and internal storage in file manager.though the deafault internal storage will be different. To access main internet storage,enable root, go to root folder then storage->emulated

But I'll recommended waiting for a patch for the ROM itself.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Fstab is one of the many files that can be seen after unpacking the boot.IMG ,these files will be located in folder(you'll get an idea once you unpack one for yourself).

You're looking for something like fstabmt6582.rc

You can open it in notepad++ and compare its lines with other build's same file.this is one probable fix,both storage patch have a boot.IMG in it after all .the other one(less likely fix)include decompiling framework reS.apk and replacing storage list.XML file
[Android General] 7awliet:
Fstab and Storage.xml

Unpacking and repacking the boot.img is so simple and easy, the way I told you, just double-click on the script to unpack and double-click to repack.

When you unpack the image you will get 6 items:

\initrd\ - a folder will lots of important stuff

boot-old.img - automatically created backup of your img

bootinfo.txt

cpiolist.txt

kernel

ramdisk

In the initrd folder you'll find a file called fstab.mt6582, edit this with Notepad++ (may need to consult with [MENTION=7387201]northwindtrades[/MENTION] ). Inside the fstab.mt6582 is the following (this is from a Luck@s 3.4.67 kernel, or stock, I can't remember at all, I just grabbed the one that was already left unpacked in my folder):

# Android fstab file.
#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags and options> <fs_mgr_flags>
# The filesystem that contains the filesystem checker binary (typically /system) cannot
# specify MF_CHECK, and must come before any filesystems that do specify MF_CHECK
/emmc@android /system ext4 ro,commit=1,noauto_da_alloc	wait
/emmc@usrdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,discard	wait,check
/emmc@cache /cache ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,discard	wait,check

/devices/platform/mt_usb	auto	auto	defaults	voldmanaged=usbotg:auto

Also I think you have edit the storage.xml file, which has been talked about quite a bit in this thread. See this for a simplified/general version of what to do (but search this thread/Google for storage.xml and framework-res.apk), and consult with northwindtrades as they did a lot of work on this, but remember they may not be able to fully help until the 12th: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63301740&postcount=18

[MENTION=7523876]7awliet[/MENTION] this is the source of the 3.10.103 kernel http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=608418&st=14540#entry56681530

Seems like cyanogenmod14 and aosp nougat are already laid out to for the a536 and our 4pda branch is busy porting.there's a lot interesting stuffs in the thread including a front camera patch to rtheir device that we could use as reference

Edit:just saw Ahmed moselhi asking for the storage fix on the vk group and they replied it can't be fixed.

If I have to ignore that and make a patch I'll need a tester since I moved back to 3.4.67 and I'm in middle of college exams to experiment that much so is there anyone who would be willing to test even if it may not work just like the guys at vk group said?

Front camera has been fixed (wait for a while) for patch ,only problem left is storage mounting wait for a fix for that as well.Except for miui, development on all other ROMs on 3.4.67 will be stopped And 3.10.54 and 3.10.103 will be used more:)

what about yadi.sk is it down
[Android General] andreidi:
Thanks for updates. I will check and compare fstab and storage using the tips provided. So it seems pink camera fix will be done using the other phone's model ported fix? I think storage might not be hard to fix. I really use my internal memory mount to store most of the app data and only use sd card to store games large data and obb. They don't have to set sd as default within the rom, because we ca easily use xinternalsd for xposed which does a great job as you can choose which app to use internal or ad card storage.

[Android General] andreidi:
I have extracted boot.img from RR 5.7.4 with kernel 3.10.103 and boot.img from RR 5.7.4 with luckas kernel and found out a single difference in the:

a) fstab file:

1) boot.img from RR 5.7.4 with luckas kernel:

/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host*	auto	auto	defaults	voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,[B][U]encryptable=userdata[/U][/B]

2) boot.img from RR 5.7.4 with kernel 3.10.103:

/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host*	auto	auto	defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,[B][U]noemulatedsd[/U][/B]

b)init file:

1) boot.img from RR 5.7.4 with luckas kernel:

# See storage config details at http://source.android.com/tech/storage/
[B][U]mkdir /storage/sdcard 0555 root root[/U][/B]

# Support legacy paths
[B][U]symlink storage/sdcard /sdcard[/U][/B]
[B][U]symlink storage/sdcard /mnt/sdcard[/U][/B]

2) boot.img from RR 5.7.4 with kernel 3.10.103:

# Support legacy paths
[B][U]symlink /sdcard /mnt/sdcard[/U][/B]
[B][U]symlink /sdcard /storage/sdcard0[/U][/B]

# By default, primary storage is physical
[B][U]setprop ro.vold.primary_physical 1[/U][/B]

According to http://source.android.com/devices/storage/config-example.html:

1) "encryptable=userdata" and "mkdir /storage/sdcard" settings mean:

Emulated primary, physical secondary

This is a typical configuration for a device with multiple external storage devices, where the primary device is backed by internal storage on the device, and where the secondary device is a physical SD card, like Xoom.

Primary shared storage (/sdcard) is emulated on top of internal storage.

Secondary storage is a physical SD card slot that can be adopted.

Supports multi-user.

2) "noemulatedsd" and "setprop ro.vold.primary_physical 1" settings mean:

Physical primary only

This is a typical configuration for a device with single external storage device which is a physical SD card, like the original Android One. There is no secondary shared storage and the device cannot support multi-user.

I also read about having to check and fiddle with storage_list.xml located at framework-res.apk/xml and that's why I also compared between old and new kernel. Fortunately, there is not a single difference between these files.

I replaced the above strings in bold and underline in both fstab and init of boot.img from RR 5.7.4 with kernel 3.10.103 and repacked the boot.img, .

Finally, storage.xml from data/system needed to be edited to remove the primaryStorageUuid="primary_physical" string. Added them in a TWRP flashable zip.

No need for testing, I flashed RR 5.7.4 3.10.103 myself to fiddle with the fix step by step, until I found the proper setup.

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to show external sd card in file manager and in Windows MTP with the name "SD Card" (or any other custom desired name) instead of "sdcard1"?

---------------

BTW, can someone give me an idea where should I look in order to attempt fixing not vibrating bottom capacitive buttons when pressed, even if enabled in settings? I don't know where to start. As for pink front camera fix, I don't really think it's very easy, but maybe comparing with luckas kernel could help us find a fix.
