-Images opened with gallery app kind of freeze the device Fixed!

-There are some options that don't work, like Media Volume control instead of Ringtone controlFixed!

-Google Translate don't show the overlay window when downloading offline translation, and it won't get installedFixed!

-There was no prompt to update Google servicesFixed!

-App drawer shows some icons off (not centered)Fixed!

-Sometimes it's slow and buggy, although almost all the time is very, very responsive and lightning fast!Fixed!

It has freezed 1 sec after the update while opening Chrome, but nothing important. It seems that it's completely working flawlessly now. It's lightning fast! :laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rambomhtri:
OK, little bug discovered:

File explorer doesn't open. When you open it, the screen goes white and stops there. You can go to home and kill the app, but it won't open. All permissions granted, but still doesn't open.

Usb-Tethering is also not working in the latest version 20161207 for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ezhome2046:
clean flash cm-14.1-20161207-UNOFFICIAL-wilcoxltexx, baseband and imei can be found but i can not make any phone call successed and the dial screen always on can not stopped . i also try use other phone dial to this g3815 cell phone but it can not connected.

default file explorer open with blank screen nothing inside. sooo bad.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Newest update (20161207): File Manager does not open. Tried everything. No reaction. Just white screen.

It takes 1-3 minutes to recognize that there is a SIM card in the phone (1-3 mins after reboot it asks me to enter pin code of sim card).

Can't send nor receive any SMS messages.

Someone above me said that calling does not work. I haven't tried, but I believe that it might not have worked for me too. If I recall correctly, mobile data worked (I reverted back to the older version). I did a clean install. Tried without GApps as well. Nothing mentioned above worked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ezhome2046:
more bugs has been found in 2016-12-07

when make phone call its not connect to other, and it cant closed the hanging up screen, whatever you forced closed it. so play music no sound. only reboot device can play music correctly. bt music ok, but fm radio no work.

video recording sound so slow. gps no test.

anyway, thx developers great job. wish next ver fix all.

can change Selinux to Permissive mode to fix above phone call problem?

i checked my device selinux status is enforcing. is it the key point?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] L-K:
Cheers!

Thanks for your awesome work.

[MENTION=5344004]kotzir[/MENTION]

Bugs encountered in the last build ("!!" marked are the most important bug):

- !! Unable to send/receive sms

- !! Unable to make/receive phone calls (see the ezhome post)

- !! File Manager doesnt work (the app doesnt open up). In the previous build it works but partially because SD card management doesnt show up and it was unmanageable (it sat "You must have higher permission" and I was root but I created a shortcut by mnt folder and it worked. So I think it's only a shortcut problem or a mounting one).

- !! Unable to saving contacts in local memory after having linked a Google Account: local memory is not available after having logged in, just there is not any memory that drops down like before. The problem is solved when you disconnect your Google Account but everytime when you want to save contacts you cant login and logout your google account because it's very unconfourtable.

- ! Random crash of any apps in random moments (I open an app and it stops to work after a few seconds)

- Sound bug (see ezhome post) including normal music application. But it works with YouTube.

- (Actually not a problem for me) Some parts in settings app is not translated in Italian

[Miscellaneous Android Development] L-K:
1. Did you tried to format SD CARD in FAT32 and retry?

2. Can you please try to select external sd storage by the following path: /mnt/media_rw/<ALFANUMERIC CHARACTERS>

3. What build are you using? Try to flash the recover the precedent version than the latest because it's more stable.

Another thing: why are you trying to update TWRP? You already didn't?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ezhome2046:
yes ihave twrp as i said version, but flashed the lastest build rom 7.1.1, i can not make phone call, but prev ver 7.1 i can.

my ext sd is fat32. i just wonder why i cant not flash the linked recovery.

4. can not MTP/PTP connect to desktop pc under win10 64bit. My DEBUG MODE IS ON, unknown source is on and root both enabled.

Thank you for your great job n hard work. its really awesome

Due to the selinux enforcing? So we can not make/receive voice call nor sms?

Compass / GPS not test.

any idea buddy?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Same problems as the previous update. File manager does not work.. Cant send nor receive messages.. Takes forever to recognise a sim card.. Clock has seconds now tho.. At least that works now :) screen brightness slide doesnt change anything
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rambomhtri:
FIXED with the latest update!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] orihuela4:
It's a big difference between the rom of november and the last one. I tried to install the last one but the movidel phone don't recognize the sim card in the last rom, and I made a clean install 2 times.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kotzir:
#GetResurrected!! ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Awesome!

But do you read our comments? This is the third update already when we can't call; receive calls; send/receive messages.

The sooner it's fixed, the better. Thank You. :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ezhome2046:
does anybody can flashing the ResurrectionRemix-N-5.8.0-1227 successfully?

i use twrp 3.0.2-0 full wipe then flash this rom but its really stuck on flashing only half.

stay for over 45mins still flashing the half and not yet finnished.

why why why? help me plz? wipe delvikcache,cache,system,data,int sd.

kotzir whats the problem ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Your english is quite difficult. Did you try to flash it once again?

I'm using twrp 3.0.1 and without any problems it went through. Two red lines appeared at the end, but it's been happening with all CM14 ROMs. It works tho..

WE STILL CAN'T CALL NOR RECEIVE CALLS! WE STILL CAN'T SEND/RECEIVE MESSAGES!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kotzir:
Does the phone report "baseband unknown" in about phone section?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ezhome2046:
yes, flashed twice. still suck on half way under flashing... can not finnished flashing. so i wonder is it the problem of twrp? i can flash all of kotizr rom before without any problem. this is the exception.

but u mean you flashed this rom all call problem still here. baseband can view?

where is the link of ur twrp?

thanks for reply.

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

sorry for my poor english:D

i also tried kotizr attached twrp rec, but fail to flash. so i dun know whats the problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
I don't see that anywhere. "Baseband Version" looks legit.

I cannot confirm if calling works (it's just someone else wrote that and I just assumed that's the case because messages do not work for me), but messages do not work (tried to send a message to myself - getting error 'Not sent. Tap to try again'). And I do not receive message from google 2-step verification (nor any other messages. Google is just a first test).

Mobile(Cellular) data (internet) works though..

A quick question: are you using Galaxy Express 2 phone? You never know.. I had small accidents when I got to the other topics of kotzir. ;D

Also. Try to re-download that ROM (and install that new one). Maybe internet glitched something and it was downloaded incorrectly. Usually that's a problem..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ezhome2046:
yes galaxy express II sm-g3815

i try flashed back cm14.0, everything works like a charm. but network data enable the battery drian like water over 7% per hour when screenoff standby mode.

i also checked baseband ,imei both reconize on cm14.1(android 7.1.1) . only problem is can not make/receive local voice call nor send/receive local msg.

i really wonder both cm14.0 and cm14.1 can reconize baseband and imei why the cm14.1 can not work for it.....anybody has the same as me.

mine twrp is 3.0.2-0

thanks for reply and suggest helping us to solve the problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ezhome2046:
i checked rom no corruption and my twrp is kozirs attached v3.0.2-0. if u can flash but same bugs call problem better wait new update.

thx buddy. forget it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] L-K:
IMPORTANT FOR ALL

I am using the 23/11/15 release. In that version works basically everything. Bugs that I know:

- Sometimes "screen combo buttons" doesnt work. Sometimes yes. Anyway you can easily add to the power off menu the option for doing screenshots.

- Sometimes "power off" menu doesnt appear. I dont know how to fix but you can switch off your phone by keep pressing the power off button for 7 seconds. (obviously :D)

- When you do screenshots then open it by status bar the gallery will freeze.

You must force close by settings app then reopen it.

In fact, now, you can edit your screenshots by gallery ;)

-Sometimes random apps, randomly crash.

Dear kotzir,

first of all, happy new year!

As you can read, I am still using the 23/11/15 release. In fact, this is the most stable version ever.

I suggest you a thing, maybe it's so obviously maybe not...

First you should fix phone and sms troubles, or we'll never have a fully working release like the 23 one.

Then you can improve other tweaks and implement other things.

But I think it's better to work on the last release and fix phone and sms troubles because they are the most important things in a phone.

Well, see ya in the next release!

(this last sentence jump me in 80's xD)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rambomhtri:
OK, the bug of the gallery freezing has come back. I've taken a picture with the camera and whenever I tap it to see it, it doesn't matter if I do it through the gallery app or the explorer app, the mobile freezes and you got to kill the app.

A quick fix is to install just another file explorer, and you can use its own photo viewer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Any updates coming soon? :) I want to change to resurrection that works as soon as possible :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kotzir:
I haven't understood the issue still. Is it about baseband not being detected and saying "Unknown", or what? any logs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
I do not have any logs nor know a lot about this situation (I have installed these versions waay too much to try them again ;D). The thing is, mobile data (internet) works. It's just calling and sending messages that doesn't work. Latest version that works very well was 20161123, the following (and all the later ones), 20161207 does not work. So if you would go through all the things that you have changed between those updates, I think you should find where did you go wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kotzir:
1st LineageOS build is up!! Please clean install this release someone and report back, with logs preferably!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rambomhtri:
YAY!

Thanks, I'll test it in these days and report back the bugs, if any. What's the difference between LineageOS and CyanogenMod?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kotzir:
CyanogenMod died. LineageOS is CM's reincarnation
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
So I'm trying LineAge ROM: Clean install with Nano GApps (to see if that will cause problems): Keyboard takes twice the space than usual at the very beginning of first boot (when trying to login to Google at the setup (where you set language, connect to wifi and stuff))... I would put screenshot, but it doesn't happen anywhere later. Looks like I still cannot send/receive messages (and after booting it takes a bit longer time for Sim Card to be recognised). Tell me where to get logs (without ADB) and I will send them. (Please be quick about it. I have no intentions to sit a long time with a phone that can't call/send/receive messages). In 'Phone Status' Baseband version says G3815XXU.... And I can use 3G/4G internet (so I don't think problem is somewhere in Baseband..)

PicoTTS stopped (not a problem for me, looks like one-time event).

Still, A huge gap in system tray when I set battery status icon to text.

Edit: I have sent you some logs in private message. I do not know what kind of information is in there, so I didn't want to make it public. I hope it will be useful.

Also, I have tried installing other app for messaging (24sms, it allows to send messages for free through the internet). It showed me an error: "We could not get your phone number."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skrotschu:
The requested log is here!

ADB log is attached.

Thank you for you work. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
I will upload tomorrow mine if that will not be enough. :)

EDIT: I have sent them to kotzir through PM.

Some small bugs: I cannot go through phone's setup (just after the first boot) without adding Google account. When I click 'Next' for the last time, it returns me to connect to WiFi and with connected WiFi I cannot skip (If I remember correctly) the login to Google account.

And Earlier I was talking about keyboard-size white blank thing above the keyboard (Only appears in that setup mode just after first boot). There are some screenshots.

Screenshot 1. Without the keyboard

Screenshot 2. With the keyboard. Red Circle marks half-dots (which should be full dots) that make up password. Also you can see 'eye' icon cut a bit from bottom

These are not big issues, but it's better without them :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] orihuela4:
Kotzir your work is amazing but can you fix sms and calls?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] L-K:
Dear [MENTION=5344004]kotzir[/MENTION]

we need this rom ASAP because it's a lot important that is fully working.

In fact, we switched to LineageOS and Cyanogenmod doesn't exist anymore.

Please fix your rom and make it stable as the 23th November 2016

Our phone will not dead if you fix it.

The bugs in the latest build (and the ones after the 23th ones) are:

- unable to make/receive voice calls (including Whatsapp ones)

- unable to send/receive sms

Also, in the 23th build videocalling and calling by whatsapp doesn't work.

It's not a problem for me but I think this is gonna to making troubles to other people so please, make sure you fix these issues as soon as possible.

We really need about your work and if we can help you we'll surely do.

See ya.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Any news on fixing the issue?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Blackmaster51:
Kotzir, thanks for your work :good::good: The Samsung Galaxy Express 2 is realesed in 2013, and still there people like us who work there (sorry for the bad english, i'm italian);)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] olekmat15:
Whether the system will be further supported?

P.S. Google translator
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
To anyone who's wondering. Kotzir is a bit busy with other projects and experiencing some problems with ROM compiler. The system will be supported, but it might take a while. We just have to be patient.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Toxic487:
Is this project really still alive?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Other phones seems to continue to by updated by kotzir..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] orihuela4:
this is dead
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rambomhtri:
This is as alive as ROCK!

:cowboy:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kotzir:
I will make an "experimental" build today, for somebody to test
[Miscellaneous Android Development] orihuela4:
I will try it, so what kind of information should I save to send you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kotzir:
You can get the build from here. I might need all the kind of logs. From simple logcat to last_kmsg. For more about logs, check this thread or this one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ezhome2046:
kotzir, thanks for your hard work on this device.

but The bugs in the latest build 14.1-20170701 are unable to make/receive voice calls (including Whatsapp ones)- unable to send/receive sms.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vayavalla:
Why don't you give him logs, as requested, to help solving this issues?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rambomhtri:
I've just installed latest LinageOS 7.1.2 with latest GAPPS pico. In the installation/flashing process, there were 2 red lines in the log, something that said "E: command unknown". Repeated twice. But it's all good so far. I'm not using the phone as my main phone, so I won't be able to check if things like calling or SMS work.

Edit: BUGS

1. Something's wrong with the gallery, I guess. I've tried to add a profile picture, that one in the status bar, and after selecting the picture I wanted, nothing changed, the changes didn't apply. After playing around, I've disabled the gallery app, and then the process was successfully completed, after selecting the profile picture, the changes applied.

2. The root option does not work, it only shows ADB, it should show Apps and ADB.

3. The flashlight takes 2 seconds to turn on. This happened also in CyanogenMod 14. It should turn on instantly, just like it turns off.

4. The button backlight (below the screen) is set to be turned on always. Well, it's turned off always instead, hahaha.

5. In the opened apps preview panel (long press home button), the "close all apps" option is "hidden" behind all the app thumbnails. If you have a lot of opened apps, it's quite annoying to go through all of them to uncover the button. That option should be visible all the time.

All other options seem to work just fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] orihuela4:
sms don't work, how i do a log os sms?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vayavalla:
Send logs. For more about logs, see the latest post from the developer, 3 or 4 posts before
[Miscellaneous Android Development] L-K:
Dear [MENTION=5344004]kotzir[/MENTION]

It's me again!

I'll try the experimental build but first, tell me exactly what logcat do you need in what mode.

If you list commands to execute for example in LogCat, we'll be happy and more helpful!

Cheers and thanks for have taken care of this project again and GG. I hope we'll build other "distros" for this phone and not only Lineage :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
So.. Did anyone send logs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] L-K:
I'd like to have further instructions but I got no answer from Kotzir (in pm too)...I hope somebody else will answer me or have sent those logs and kotzir is building an updated version of LineageOS...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vayavalla:
He already gave instructions there
[Miscellaneous Android Development] L-K:
hey! I have already seen those posts! No need to quote again :D

I'd like to have exactly istructions on what to do since there are a lot of options.

Command examples, this is what I'd like. In this way not only me but many other people (I think) will contribute!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Well.. I mean.. Everything's pretty much covered in those topics.

Edit: Interestingly.. Where are root option for apps? There's adb only.

Edit 2: Nevermind, found what to do.

Edit 3: Sent it to kotzir's pm (why do I have to do everything? It's second time I've sent them) . It would be better if someone else did that too. Catlog requires no commands. Just turn it on and try doing stuff (send messages, call)...

Also, this version's browser might be retarded. File manager is also terrible (or maybe I just didn't find how to switch to better view)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] L-K:
Man! I have sent a pm to kotzir but no answer.

As far as I know, last build "unofficial" works like the build "official", so SMS/MMS support broken, file manager doesnt work, I cant make any call (only receive) and many other stuff.

I'll try asap catlog and, if kotzir will answer in any way (such as topic reply, pm, pm in your inbox etc) I'll send you my catlog.

So thanks, you've finally answered to my question. Unfortunately I understood that both those tools were requiring manual commands :D

Trust me, I'd like to send anyway but if maybe he don't care preety much...and this is bad!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
Got message from kotzir. He'll investigate my logs, but it would be better to send logs from other devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] c0d3br34k3r:
Would love to test this rom and send logs but this is my daily use device and the call option is very cruical for me, I'll be sure to join testing when calls are fixed :3
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Benderisas:
I'm in the same situation. I had to install this rom, test it, send logs and download old version again. The whole customization back - sucks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] c0d3br34k3r:
Yea, I don't wanna do all that cause I'm lazy af and will only upgrade it once and forever:D
