Some more questions ...

Hi again [MENTION=7569388]vince2678[/MENTION], I have more questions:

Do you have a local_manifest.xml that drives your build? ... I have a single-purpose Fedora24 virtual machine which I use to build android ROMs.

Does your build actually produce a CM12.1 zip installation package? ... And do you simply harvest the system.img, etc afterwards to put into a flashable this tar file?

What is the command line that do you use to create the flashable tar files? ... I'm just curious.

What version of the firmware does your device have? ... Mine has G530WVLU1AOFB. Apparently, this is the Tanzanian version! WTF? I purchased my phone from a Costco in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. It was purported to be unlocked for all Canadian carriers. My carrier is Virgin Mobile (owned by Bell) and it works fine. But, my understanding is that device actually locks to your SIM card upon first use so you can't use it for other SIM cards, but I haven't proven this yet. BTW, I got over half of the stock ROM DL'ed from SamMobile before it stopped due to a "network error". Yeah right! I'll try again later.

Have you (or are you) cherry-picking patches from the G530H CM12.1 ROM? ... android_device_samsung_fortuna3g I suggest DL'ing their key files and comparing them to yours. They appear to be in the final exhilarating phase of perfecting their ROM.

So you have totally removed the KNOX software without in deleterious consequences? ... I thought that I read in an XDA thread where somebody did this and then had issues such as connecting to WIFI, etc. It appeared that there may be a dependency in the BIOS.

Did you trip the KNOX e-fuse hence void the warranty? ... Not that I care about the warranty, I only worry about bricking the device.

Unlike [MENTION=7320658]Pbotelho[/MENTION], this is my daily driver so I will be proceeding slowly and cautiously and look forward to his experience flashing it.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] vince2678:
Hi Pbotelho, thanks man. You will have to enable Developer Mode on your phone and unlock the bootloader from the settings. I don't remember what exactly in the settings that option is, but it should be in the Debugging area for sure.

Once done, reboot into Download Mode [Press Power+Volume Down+Home].

Once you've done that, grab the boot.tar, system.tar.xz and recovery.tar from the links above. Extract the system.tar.xz with 7zip or `xz -d system.tar.xz` if under Linux to get a system.tar file, and flash the recovery, boot, and system, one after the other, in whatever order, by booting into download mode as soon as it is done flashing a file.

You will need to wipe your cache and data partitions, which can be done by rebooting into recovery [Power+Volume Up+Home].

The button options are built into the hardware so they can be used at any point after the phone is on.

When all that is done, you can report any problems here [or on the github page] and post logcats and I'll look at them if there's any issue I've missed.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] vince2678:
Hi Zippy,

I do not have a local_manifest, if you want you can just manually pull the device and vendor trees into your build area, or you can make one yourself if you wish.

I will probably make one though, because the build has dependencies on some qcom sources.

I just use 'make -j8' to build everything, though you can use 'make otapackage' to build a flashable zip [You'll need the CMR recovery from here though, the images can't be flashed by stock recovery]

For creating flashable tar files, you can just use `tar`. You don't need to make .md5 verifiable archives, those are just to ensure a download wasn't corrupted [I provide md5sums for checking].

The system.img in the output directory will have to be renamed to 'system.img.ext4' and then archived, as so:

cd out/target/product/gprimeltecan
ln system.img system.img.ext4
tar cf system.tar system.img.ext4
tar cf boot.tar boot.img
tar cf recovery.tar recovery.img

Then you can move the files wherever and flash them with Odin.

Yes the gprimeltevl/gprimeltecan baseband is indeed G530WVLU1AOFB, though this should work with all G530WXXXXXXXs (not sure how many different ones are out there].

I'm not sure about the SIM locking thing, I cannot confirm this, someone might have to try to check.

I did consider sourcing from that repository, though ultimately i ended up using another one [I don't remember the name]. I might take a look at their source to see what I can do about mine though.

I did trip KNOX, though that was back when I was still trying to root my phone with CF-Root, so I'm not sure if flashing this will trip KNOX. And yes, KNOX is completely gone from this device, with no problems from the phone.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] vince2678:
Hi Pbotelho,

I'll try to answer everything as completely as I can.

The blackout lock screen thing seems to be an issue with Trebuchet. I found that using a different lock screen app solves this issue.

As for the blackout on the notification area, I'm not sure what exactly is causing this, though I think this may be a problem with the cm-12.1 source and not necessarily the device port itself.

This seems to be an issue with Trebuchet again, and using a different lock application fixes this.

I'm aware of this one, for now you can fix this by disabling Brightness Control in the settings ( Settings->Status Bar->Brightness Control).

This again might be an issue with the cm-12.1 source, though it'll need some checking to confirm.

I'm using Kernel Adiutor and frequency setting is fine. Did you try using a tunable governor like interactive? That may be the issue.

I'm aware of this, you can blame this on my bad arithmetic skills :p . I had set the wrong bit field mask for the button settings in the device frameworks.

I'll be pushing a fix addressing this shortly.

That depends on what the features are, if they're reasonable and within my capabilities, then yeah :D.

PS: I would appreciate any help I can get, and if you have any coding skills and time to compile builds, you can help me polish up the device port.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] vince2678:
Nope, this should be pretty much the same as flashing a zip from recovery. If you modified the system partition though (like by flashing GApps for example) your changes will be lost.

I fixed this in the device tree, once I've built a new image this should be corrected.

I'll be looking into this one.

I'm still using the stock kernel in my builds, once the builds are stable I'll start compiling the kernel from source and I'll see if I can do something about this.

According to the configurations, this is already how it is.

PS: I changed the governor under Kernel Adiutor to performance from interactive and switched back, and became unable to change the frequencies (like you were experiencing). I'll need to play around more with this to see why.

This is already available under the Settings->Storage->USB Computer Connection menu

Not sure I could do this, I'll check.

I don't quite understand what you mean by this, how does it differ from the normal USB tethering?

If you can't code, that's fine, you could set up a build environment on your computer for creating images from the source.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Pbotelho:
Sounds awesome, I'll flash it as soon as possible and continue testing it for you.

I uploaded a logcat to the other thread in development. The performance governor is set up as the default for me so I'm set up with that situation from the get go.

It technically isn't different from regular USB tethering, but it seems that no one has done it successfully before. There are adapters that you can use to provide a wired Ethernet connection to an android device over micro USB, but no one has been able to do it the other way around. Google results don't turn up any answers.

And I'm willing to learn how to code, but I fear that I may slow you down with this project as I get past the learning curve. That being said, I can definitely set up a build environment and compile it from source for you. That'll be a learning experience on its own. Just point me towards a noob guide and I'll get it done.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] vince2678:
The USB tethering thing sounds interesting, though I would need to have one of the adapters to test that, and time at hand as well.

As for the build environment, the best source of information is the CM wiki. You can look at these links below on how to get started:

The guides above are just outlines to detail the general build process - you will need to do things slightly differently from the steps above to get the proper source and device trees.

The attached local_manifest can be used with repo when obtaining the cm-12.1 source.

Remember you'll be getting the cm-12.1 source - not anything else.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Zippy Dufus:
So if I add in your device tree and provide a toolchain, I should be good to go? (I think so.) :cowboy:

Thanks!!

EDIT: Not so fast! I'll have to find a kernel as well.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Sammichoux:
I've test Kernel Adiutor and I too got the O MHz only window for both as the only option. Though Now I wonder if it is because I used the latest beta Kernel Adiutor, I'll further check with the normal stable version. Pretty sure it'll fix it if it worked normally for Vinc. --- Update; As strange as it might look while re opening kernel adi to take a screenshot, the list of normal MHz values is there and working properly.. Strange.. Magic? Huh technology, you're so unpredictable.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] vince2678:
Hi Zippy,

The kernel source was included there as well (it's just a dummy source so that the build can get the necessary source files for libraries which need them). The build still uses the default prebuilt kernel though.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] Zippy Dufus:
As an experiment, why don't you try downloading the G530H ROM, unzip, take the boot.img, and flash it over top of your stock kernel? See if it boots and how it performs.

Meanwhile, I plan to hack at putting together complete manifest, possibly with the G530H kernel and my Linaro 4.9 toolchain and see if I can build a complete ROM.

Have you extracted the firmware?

However, I don't want to flash anything until I see your ROM's modem working because it is my daily driver. But I'm keen though!!

I've managed to download the stock ROM from SamMobile but I'm now thinking of going straight to your ROM once it is a bit more complete and stable.
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] vince2678:
I dont understand what would be the point of using a ramdisk from another device. The ramdisks are actually mostly similar anyways since the init files are the same, it's not going to affect the way the system boots much if at all.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
Try helping yourself. I know, it's a tough concept.

There are three or four threads right on the very front page of this subforum that will answer all of your questions.

Have a cow? I'm not having a cow. I'm sick of people that can figure out how to post a completely redundant question without following rule number one of the forum.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
Did you join just to post this or are you a sock puppet?

Nobody was being an "ass." The forum rules say to search first. There are at least three threads on the front page that say "noob" and cover what the OP had asked for. Typing a response to the same question over and over because "noobs" are too lazy to help themselves is tiring.

If the OP is incapable of following directions, of reading where others had screwed up and how to fix it, a video isn't going to help.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0651:
Joined just to post this. I've been lurking the forums for a long time as I have a rooted Note 4 but never had a reason to post. You showing very little respect for your peers on the forums caused me finally create an account so my voice could be heard. If you still believe I'm a sock puppet you can google my username and find I am active across a wide range of forums and platforms. I'm in no way associated with blastoff but I have been in his situation before so I understand where he is coming from and have sympathy for him. He tried to be civil about it and you are throwing accusations at him about making puppets without any possible proof other than it being a new account. This is a place meant for people to converse, ask questions, and be friendly and yet somehow you have managed to do the exact opposite. I get that he posted a new thread instead of searching but instead of posting a snappy response about how he broke the rules and should help himself you could maybe show a sliver of kindness and welcome him to the forums and inform him that all his answers are in previously posted threads. This will the last time I respond on this thread as I'm not going to waste my time arguing with someone on the other side of a screen.

With that said, Blastoff, if you need any assistance please feel free to message me and if I'm able to I will assist you. Good luck on your journey to rooting your phone!

This is blastoffs 2nd thread with the same question. Both times posting ridiculous questions about note 4 root. If he had searched, he'd have his answer, and that's the point. Douger1957 has assisted tons of people with root, unlock, firmwares, etc. So before you pass judgement, search a little yourself, and see how douger1957 responds overall, not just with trolls.

You did fail the forum. It sounds like you're usually pretty good on here, but there's almost a page of garbage here now because of your initial reply. This thread could have been 2 posts. "Is there a vid" and some time in the future "http://hereIsThe.vid".

Ok ......here's the thing...On July 9th Douger1957 gave blastoff a link to the threads that explain in detail the processes to help him get rooted and unlocked. Then exactly 10 days later blastoff starts a new thread asking for a video....sorry, vid...this isn't rocket science. No need for a second thread, no need for drama.....simply search first, help yourself, ask informed questions that show you've at least tried something, anything! .......root?......vid? Of course you're going to get a response with some frustration included. In the last couple of weeks more 1 post members have shown up than ever before, with disrespectful questions, comments, and responses. Wtf. They drop these questions, get helped, don't thank anyone, show no respect for the members that have helped the most. Tons of people come, ask, take, complain, and don't contribute or thank the devs. Hsbadr has complained about this very thing, hundreds of downloads and a minimal amount of thanks or donations. So, go ahead and say what you will, my opinion is, the people who are assisting others all the time, should get the benefit of the doubt when these situations arise. And the single post members should exhaust all avenues of search before asking questions about things that have 4 or 5 detailed threads already.

Hello there. Roughly 4 months ago I bougth a second E980 as a replace for an old one who got some strange issues on its screen (random/ghost touches and -progresively- dead digitizer, display was ok), just to find that the new one started to show the same issues.

I tried to replace the digitizer alone on the older one and that worked only for a short time, and now I wonder if changing the whole digitizer+LCD display could fix the issue...what do you think? had you experienced a similar problem in the past? is adviceable to buy the whole screen replacement? is this a software problem? should I pass of this phone and curse to the skies like a mad man?
