Llama doesn't need an update for aosp/lineage/cm based roms. It doesn't have any bug at all.

For stock based roms needs a few fixes only and i don't know when we will get those fixes. It's up to genesix if he is willing to keep working on our g4 when he has the time.

For stock as users we don't have a big problem, we still have slim and simplegx too.
[G4 Android Development] :
What about security updates? The Android Security Bulletin—January 2017 includes at least 2 critical kernel vulnerabilities, e.g.:
[G4 Android Development] wartomato:
Wrong thread...
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
llama is on google+ to ask him anything... personally i don't care for security updates. im using it and its working fine. security updates one day stop anyway. There isn't any phone that gets updates forever.

And if LG doesn't launch nougat and stop updates here, will people keep asking for security updates ?

yeah but in xda llama was forced closed by XDA...
[G4 Android Development] :
Why? This does also apply to the kernel for the official LineageOS CM14.1 H815. Take for example CVE-2015-3288, a critical vulnerability in the kernel (Elevation of privilege vulnerability in kernel memory subsystem) from the 2017 January Android Security Bulletin. The patch to apply can be found here: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=6b7339f4c31ad69c8e9c0b2859276e22cf72176d. If you check the current kernel source for H815 at https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_lge_msm8992/blob/cm-14.1/mm/memory.c, you will see that the patch has not yet been applied. This vulnerability was already fixed in July 2015 for the main Linux kernel :eek:

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

As already said before, I am new to Android. I do use Linux quite a lot and I am astonished about the security mess in the Android world.

Even if security issues will never be fixed, I think it is important that users at least know that the device-os combination is insecure, else they cannot make an educated choice.

Personally I am now looking at the Copperhead OS project. Might be a better choice for my needs in the future ;)
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
lineage will stop one day too for any phone. what im saying its that for me ts not important.

for example my p880 has to get an update since 2014. so ? im using it just fine without the security update. ok for a new phone its nice to have updates. so now what can we do ? llama is the only custom kernel for g4 **on aosp lineage base**. ill still use it even without updates. we don't have many choices. i don't see any other dev in the world to even bother with g4 ! so i can't complain.....
[G4 Android Development] wartomato:
Well, you got your answer for the Llama thread...

And about lineageOS kernel: it is open source. Why not contribute to it?
[G4 Android Development] xrad:
And the universe will turn to dust one day. It's your business if security is not important for you, but that doesn't make the initial question less valid. Why are people getting back with snide comments?

To give a perhaps more helpful answer: in the past codeworxx and genesixx included security fixes in the kernel as they became available. Patches are welcome of course. And the CVEs related to the the Android framework are usually merged timely anyway.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
the initial question is not less valid. i told him to ask the dev in llama google+ cause llama is not in xda any more and i added my personal opinion. if you don't like it, close your eyes.

~EDIT: ok then . so how is your answer more helpful ? he didn't ask about the past. And for your info , i did try to add my personal help but llama is locked , i can't contribute. if i told him to believe in god and in a future update , how that would be helpful ? -_-

buh........
[G4 Android Development] xrad:
Knowing the past helps to infer the future. And I don't think the initial question (the one about kernel security) was just about Llama. Anyway, no hard feelings. I guess I overreact when I see people advocating "security doesn't matter". It does.

[G4 Android Development] :
I agree, security does matter.

You store not only your personal information on your smartphone but also from third parties like your friends or work colleagues (contact details, photos about the kids from your family, emails from close friends). In my opinion you have a responsibility to protect those information.

It is also irresponsible to use devices on the internet if you know they are insecure. The massive DDOS attacks from IoT devices just happened recently. Do we really want our devices to be used as tools by criminal forces to hurt the economy or investigative journalism?

Anyone know how to stop the constant battery drain​?

Also, how to use the big cores of the CPU?

Phone is almost a phone now.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
As I said it's nice to have updates especially on a new device. I do hope we get updates and even bug fixes from our genesix. I just can't answer with "hope" for something. You have to do the question in llama Google+!

If it's on screen off , it's a battery drain from Gapps wakelocks. If it's when the screen is on, there isn't any fix , it's thanks to quantum screen.

Big cores are already in use. Big cores get online when the CPU usage on small cores rises. Unless you disable the hotplug and set a conservative to small, so the big ones will do all the work. But big cores will give you more battery drain than before.
[G4 Android Development] brossovitch:
No GApps wakelock affecting me, ive stopped that at set up..

There is no hotplugging, unless it was somehow added to the latest build. And no I'm not using LlamaSweet because I'm tired of kernel panics everyday for no reason.

Usage is normal, screen brightness down to 2%. Battery dropped from 100-70% in 6min doing almost nothing. So did I have 2.5hrs of usage in less than 10min? LOLOLOL

Otherwise it's decent when you remove practically every system app. And photos are good when I use only my camera instead of phone camera! Don't know anymore. Guess this 6 month old device needs to be replaced with one with more functionality. Wish I hadn't bought it specifically for ROMs..

And no longer a way to switch SELinux mode? Psssh, finished. Anyone want an H811 + case + 2 spare batteries(with cradles) for $200USD?

Just curious as I don't know much about kernel maintenance. Do there exists tools which can scan the kernel sources for missing security patches? Or does this work have to be done solely by manual means (keeping updated with the help of security related lists and applying patches one-by-one)?

I don't have Root anymore with the lineage-14.1-20170124-UNOFFICIAL-h815 Version. Only disabled or adb only root.
[G4 Android Development] :
I don't think Nessus is capable of scanning the source code for vulnerabilities but I might be wrong? Lynis seems to be similar.

What I meant is if there exists a tool, which would scan the list of security vulnerabilities, grasp the patch and check if the source code has already that patch applied. I did some googling but could not yet find such a tool. So far I only found tools which scan the version of the deployed binary.

[MENTION=5776465]genesixxbf3[/MENTION] [MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION]

This might be a stupid question, but I am not well versed in the capabilities of github. Is it possible to make a diff between the G4 kernel and an official Android kernel, lets say bullhead and determine which security patches might be missing? Do they share a common ancestor? Or maybe you could point me to some good sources of information on that topic?

[G4 Android Development] knzor:
it's official, no need to rely on his repository, updates will be made from within the rom itself as it was with CM (maybe already, maybe later) - for some of us that's the news.

And if my PC was syncing to the same repo and I compile it and share it with you , it won't be official? And behind lineage org. server isn't there someone else doing what exactly genesix did? Get real...

Just a tip: the experimental build has a watermark all over the screen. I suggest not to flash it.

But another problem: If I flash a current Lineage Build with a Full Wipe, I am not able to get through the start wizard. There is no "next" button in the nfc migration screen. It doesn't matter if I connect to wifi or a sim card is inserted.

Can someone confirm or am I just too stupid?

EDIT : sorry wrong quote due to my super sonic answering speed :p

so not war. and that bug i think it just proved that [MENTION=5776465]genesixxbf3[/MENTION] build couldn't be more official lol
[G4 Android Development] ew:
I did a dirty flash over the unofficial build - and got fc's all over the place - just about every app as it loaded.. I tried again - wiping system before the flash. Same thing.

I didn't have much time to spend so I reverted back to the nandroid I took earlier.

I am going to be traveling over the next week and don't want to fool or experiment any more until my travel is over.

I use supersu 2.79 and also remove a bunch of bloatware. All of that works perfectly in the unofficial. I wouldn't think that the official would be any different - but apparently there is something amiss someplace (and that place could be me).

I would be interested in hearing the experiences of others. I am wondering if I will need a clean install to go to the official build.

Also I discovered what others had mentioned - twrp restore didn't restore everything perfectly. Some of my text messages were missing (used titanium to restore) and my status bar and led notification customization needed to be redone.

I am going to hold off for a bit now - and would be interested in hearing what others say when they flash official.
[G4 Android Development] satbir7:
I tried to do the same, but it gave me an Error and failed to install, saying that I have incompatible data.

[G4 Android Development] vmartinez39:
This is actually happening to all ROMS 7.1.1 which makes me wonder that it has something to do with TWRP. Same thing happens to me on my OnePlus 2 and LG G4. Any CM14.1/LineageOS isn't a perfect NANDROID backup. I've been trying to ask people around but no one seems to acknowledge this issue or just haven't run into it. It has nothing to do with NANDROID size because the issue happens even with a clean LineageOS, make a few simple changes, backup and restored with TWRP and same issue is there.

Also I did a Dirty Flash from CM13 -> LineageOS Unofficial, and now when I tried to flash the Official, it just won't upgrade.
[G4 Android Development] kessaras:
ok. this happened because you didn't read last post. also you all wrote about it because again you didn't read. so next time read. not your fault. who would have imagined that the 1st official build had problems ? well... the zip title is "experimental". genesix just did his daily compile and share which means that "experimental" goes to genesix build too.

no worries. thats lineage we are talking about. next build will not have the same bug.

happy flashing now.

twrp has no issues any more. search and flash latest beta 5.
