[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
too soon to say! different processors have different kernel pattern!

for example! even on Android 6.01, Xperia C4 ( MT processor) FotaKernel + Boot is totally different than Xperia Z series (running on Snapdragon)

my fear is that SONY is moving toward more and more to corner ( for Developers ), the new X series. where DRM keys can never be xtracted and in some cases bootunlock affect finger sensor and android pay since FidoKeys are Lost.

the more i read and observe about Xperias in 2016, i am having bad feeling for Xperia in upcoming years! Company has already reduced their mobile launching pattern when in 2012 / 2013/ 2015 we had AcroS/ION/GO and devices under Z series, E series, M series, C series.... where in 2016 only one X series (and its variants). To the major part SONY Must let users to have control of its devices and offer MORE (storage/ram) in order to survive new competitions like huawei, OnePlus, Xiami, Lenovo etc who are offering so much on comparative prices
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindyabiznis:
Thanks for your constructive input makes sense... But this is still android and I'm sure there IS a way to hack it and get our bootloaders unlocked or maybe even just get permanent root
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
did you ever hear about Blackberry Prive development projects?

its a topnotch android phone

but you will never hear because they Ripped development options from that phone for security reasons!

and my point is, between the fine line of development and security, sony has slowly but surely moving more towards security; not by introducing new features in software; but by disabling/ restricting many of the AOSP features.

A dream come true moment will be when i will see ALLOW ROOT ACCESS under development options in next Xperia Flagship devices like XIAOMI / ONEPLUS, and i will restart xperia having Root Access ( like they have given in CYNOGENMOD, Conditional root access to apps (as you will specify)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] arunavak111:
I have purchased new Moto Z Play from amazon in last week. It delivered on time with amazon prime and was packed well. But now only I noticed that vibration is not working.

I enabled touch vibration also put phone in vibration mode. But there is no vibration while on touch or incoming call.

Even I did factory reset as well as checked through diagnostics mode. Vibration is not working. What should I do??

Its entirely new phone, even I didn't use it more than a week. Really disappointing.

good morning.

downloaded the following files/app:

SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1524.00.000

OS_Acer_Acer.AV061.V370.1.023.00.WW.GEN1_A42J_A

OS_Acer_Acer.AV061.V370.1.035.00.WW.GEN1_A42J_A

I start SP as administrator then try to load the scatters but actually I receive the error 8417: "the load scatter is invalid! [HINT]: please check the scatter file and select again!"

but I downloaded the files right from Acer official website!!! what and why is that?

thanx in advance

p.s.: all the drivers and the settings are properly installed, the device is recognized as it should be.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] venomrat:
Thanks for releasing. :) Will definitely try it out if time permits.

I hope you will keep at this. This device needs marshmallow..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
Great ROM! It is surprisingly usable, even at this stage of development, and feels far faster than stock. In addition to the bugs you mentioned, I also found out that apps will not install. Attempts at installation trigger a 'this package seems to be corrupt' error. Did anyone else encounter this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
How are you installing it? via ADB?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I've only tried using adb install and it seems to work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
No, via Odin. I even thought I had made a mistake at some point during the installation process, so I repeated it twice, once with Gapps, and once without, but the problem persisted.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Hmmm...I'll try installing it via ADB, see if the problem will go away.

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

And I can confirm MTP is indeed not working

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

But for an initial release, this is surprisingly good.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Arris Bachtiar:
Many thanks for your hardwork jedld
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
build 20161104 is now available. GPS and bluetooth should now be fixed. Most of the hardware support for the SM-T285 seems to be working on a basic level, I am now attempting to use it as my daily driver.

Though bluetooth seems to work I haven't tested all possible bluetooth profiles yet, so keep your fingers crossed.

The remaining major issues are being unable to make/receive calls, Graphics overlay issues, being unable to play some video content in facebook (not sure if DRM related or Graphics related) and MTP.

There are also minor issues related to battery monitoring and screen flipping when going into low power mode.

I don't usually use this tablet to make/recieve calls so I am currently fixing graphics as a priority.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
I use this tablet as a phone constantly so please get the calls working!! Great job so far!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
1. Great job! In the course of testing, I bumped into a very odd problem; apps from the Play Store install just fine, but the apks I have saved on both the internal memory and the memory card will not. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? How do I solve it? Thanks in advance. I installed the ROM via Odin

2. The WiFi hotspot is not working
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Nice catch on the wifi hotspot.

For the apk installation problem, yes I am able to replicate it, turns out to be some permissions I incorrectly set for the filesystem, will investigate. However note that using adb install works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
I tried installing both the previous and current releases using adb, but for some reason, that didn't work.

I suspect the problem is at my end, though. I'll use another computer, see if that will solve the problem.

Thanks for the prompt response, and for the work that you're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
New build released for 11132016, main fixes are wifi hotspot, outgoing calls and partial MTP fix (still broken though).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
I use this phone for business..when you fix for incoming phone calls...I'm downloading!!! Thanks for your hard work
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Or tell people not to call you and you will call them. I just discovered a bug where it won't hang up though so they have to hang up first :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
1. Compared with the previous build, scrolling feels faster

2. A personal favorite; it is possible to enable softkeys without triggering system UI errors

3. Just like in the previous build, apks stored on the internal memory or microSD will not install if the ROM is loaded via Odin. Apps from the Play Store install just fine, though, and the problem completely disappears when the ROM is installed via ADB
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
For the Nov 21 release, all major issues have been fixed except for MTP. Graphics issues have also been fixed, expect a major performance boost, No promises but the user experience should be superior to that of stock, and I haven't even compiled for a release build yet. This release should be good enough as a daily driver assuming its ok for you to have SeLinux in permissive mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
what.....

does that mean "SeLinux in permissive mode"?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
It will be hard to go into details, but to make it simple it is less secure than a build with with selinux enabled. Since this is still a development build if security equivalent to stock is a concern of yours, I suggest waiting until I compile a proper release build.

how do i...

get google play or google play services to load? every gapps i try it wont load. please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
You can get the gapps package form 6.0 here and then flash using TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
i tried that..

every 6. 0 gapps i tried every app loads but google play i cant download anything from the playstore
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Did you try doing a factory reset wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
yes ...

can this rom be flashed using twrp? instead of odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
It's only packaged for Odin now. Though your situation is kinda weird, you mean you are unable to open the play store, what sort of error does it show?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
it says

app not installed" the package is corrupt"
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I remember going through something like that before but usually a complete wipe fixes it. If not I usually reflash the rom then go to recovery immediately and then flash the gapps package immediately after performing a wipe. Anyway I'll try to see if I can reproduce what you are encountering.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
where did you download your GApps package by the way? can you provide me a link just so we are on the same page
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
same link you provided

http://opengapps.org/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Yeah, that's also what I use. Though I've only tried the nano package. will see if I can reproduce what you are encountering. In the meantime, see if you can reflash the rom, wipe and then flash the gapps package after and see if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
wipe...

in twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
flash the ROM using Odin, then go to twrp to flash the gapps package immediately after. Then do format/wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
doesnt work
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
So after testing it out, I was able to replicate your problem. It appears that the current version of gapps provided by open gapps is broken. I had to get an older version open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161109.zip which works properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
Thank you I got it working!!

Next question is there a hack or code to get the volume way up all the way around?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Is the volume not high enough? Omni does provide a DSP app, maybe its boost can do something about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
Yes I tried not too good!!

This ROM is not rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Probably need to try those 3rd party sound libs I guess. Nope this ROM is not rooted you have to root it separately.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
This latest build is probably the fastest of them all. Unfortunately, I had to revert back - very reluctantly, I must admit - to Tinker V5 because, for some reason, the tablet wouldn't connect to the internet over a cellular network. I tried entering different APNs, rebooting, and reinstalling the ROM, but that didn't work. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Was this working on a previous build? It seems ok in my case but then it could also be carrier specific.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
It was, although the process of acquiring a data connection was generally slower than stock. I use Safaricom, as it is the only carrier in Kenya offering 4G; I didn't test with other providers.

Because of the far superior speed of this build, I briefly considered using my tablet as a WiFi-only device to get around this failure to connect to the internet via cellular, but that wouldn't have been practical, given my use cases.

Oh, and the problem of apks on the internal memory or microSD failing to install - and triggering 'package appears to be corrupt' errors - on loading the ROM via Odin is still present. The apks install just fine via ADB, though.

Very minor graphical glitches, such as when scrolling through web pages or swiping between pages in PDF apps, are still present, although they were not a dealbreaker, for me at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Data connection seems to work fine at least with may carrier locally, so I'm in the suspicion that it could APN related though I'm not sure, wished I have a way to debug that. yeah, There are still screen tearing issues esp during scrolling, though this should be fixed or reduced in the next build. Haven't really looked in to the apk issues yet, will probably get to it once I fix MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
btw if data connection in the previous build was working for you and want to get the performance boost, you can just edit build.prop in /system and remove the line containing "ro.kernel.qemu=0".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
New release for Nov. 24 -> MTP fixed

Some tweaks to the radio to hopefully fix connectivity issues some people are having
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
The connectivity issues are solved. This build also feels faster than the previous one, and there's nary a graphics glitch to be seen. Thank you for your hard work.

How do I install this ROM via adb? One of my friends used to do it for me, but he's gone back to school and I can't reach him. I can install apks and the like using adb, but tar.md5 files seem to require a different approach.

I was forced to load the ROM via Odin, which, unfortunately, means I cannot install apks from the microSD card or internal memory. Attempts at installation trigger a 'package seems to be corrupt' error.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
You have to use the Odin application to install this. There are a few places that detail how to do this like here. I'll probably be cooking up a TWRP flashable zip when it reaches beta status.

Anyone wanna take a crat at t280 with this? i can test
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
[MENTION=4732871]r3pwn[/MENTION] on github added me to the https://github.com/samsung-sc8830 group, from what I see in the commits he is working on the SM-T280 kernel and a CM-14 device tree. Not sure how far he has gone though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] r3pwn:
Not very far. Doesn't build yet, but I was trying to merge the SM-T280 and SM-T285 kernel source, but for some reason, the kernel source for both of them are very different. I'll start toying around with the SM-T280 stock kernel source later today possibly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
They are both sc8830 based but the T280 uses a different chipset I believe. [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] also spent time on it, he managed to get it to boot a recovery for TWRP but from what I know it is still unable to boot the T280 stock rom. Though once that gets going it should be a bit easier to bring it up as compared to the T285 as you don't have to worry about RIL related features.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] r3pwn:
Ah, yeah, I have his recovery flashed now. I'm still at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I'm done here and see what I can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
I'm still getting connectivity issues - failing to acquire a data connection, or taking very long to do so - but only when certain conditions are fulfilled;

1. When I attempt to change the APN

2. When I change the APN

3. When I flash Gapps and superSU

When I flash the ROM only, and avoid opening the APN settings section, the device acquires a data connection as fast as on Tinker V5, and stays connected.

Graphical glitches are still present, but they are very, very, minor.

Apks stored on the internal memory or expandable storage cannot be installed with the usual tap-to-install method, which only results in a 'this package seems to be corrupt error.' Installations via ADB work just fine, though.

But everything else seems to be working fine, to the extent I tested the ROM. And it's really fast! I look forward to the coming iterations
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Nando14sunny:
If you would now add root to this rom its near to be perfect :)

Could you do this ? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I could. but its something you can already do yourself though using the standard T285 rooting procedure (flash TWRP+ supersu). At least for this thread I plan to keep an unmodified OmniRom based on current sources, I'll leave it up to the other devs or yourself if you want a pre-rooted version or incorporate your own mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] vayavalla:
Great to see someone working on TM-280! [emoji2] [emoji2]
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Just released a new version today. Check if it solves your data connection problems. Try restarting the phone after selecting an APN and see if it makes a difference. I am still unable to fix the install apk via the tap to install method bug though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] nicaroxo:
Awaiting a 6.0 rom for my SM-T280 too. Nice work developers!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] acornkenya:
1. The data connection issues are gone; the APN entry-and-reboot method works like a charm. However, if I reboot again, the problem sometimes recurs, but I have discovered a workaround; select another APN, reboot, choose the APN I want to use, and reboot again. In general, however, connectivity issues are solved to an extent that allows me to use this build as a daily driver.

2. Very, very minor graphical glitches, such as when scrolling through long web pages, are still present, although they are not a deal breaker.

3. This ROM is really fast, and - I'm not sure if this is the right word to use in the context of a ROM - light. For instance, it was almost impossible to use OneNote in Tinker V5 because of extreme lag; that problem is completely gone in this build. In general, everything feels pleasurably snappy.

4. Would it be possible to add display color adjustment and 'press home button to wake up device' features?

Thank you for taking the time to build and refine this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I would like to give my thanks also for taking the time to test this ROM and provide feedback. As an early christmas gift for you I have just uploaded CM-14.1 for the SM-T285. The only thing I can say is, if you are already impressed with how fast Android 6.0.1 is on this device, Android 7.1 will not disappoint. Problem is, bluetooth got broken again.

Hi.

It's great to see this rom make so much progress. I'm thinking of flashing the rom next weekend.

I have a couple of questions.

Did anyone test if Safetynet passes without root?

Also I read that Safety need also checks for selinux permissive. Is it possible to change to selinux enforcing without root?

Thanks.

I did. It did not pass.

Also I read that Safety need also checks for selinux permissive. Is it possible to change to selinux enforcing without root?

Yes. I just need to update the selinux policy files. It is just a hassle to do because of the new neverallow rules in 6.0.1

Thanks jedid for your work. ROM works great so far-testing it for basic things-noticed speakerphone does not work during a call.

installing from sdcard or internal storage not working is a pain..but there are options

wish there was theme manager as in CM (can there be?)...see you have the CM ROM but this one has relatively few issues (calls, lte etc which are crucial)

EDIT at one board there was discussion - went on from 2013 to 15 (don't think any progress) and it ended with a thud or a bang (see last post)

Well I have a plan to get a CM 13 version of this ROM once I sort out the SM-T285 specific issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
thanks!...also noticed the 4g signal tends to be weaker than on stock (by the dbm)...also tends to almost fall off at times-on soft reboots it won't come back on and have to go to manually do airplane mode and back, then it comes back on even if mobile data was on all the time. Look forward to the cm13

EDIT briefly tried the cm14.1....much better very fast response-on the omni the pull down was an issue (would also ask me to format the sd card)

noticed here too the signal tends to drop in an out (wonder if it is some power saving going on-it goes to full strength during a call)...speakerphone also does not work here but must say this is better than the omni even though data does not work
