[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Starchild2k:
Did u ever get through ur errors yet i almost got a build done just need to add install-recovery.sh to my build that was the last error i delt with i had to do some tweaking on the kernel to get the errors to go bye bye im using the original kernel and vendor files and the brunch cm_j7ltespr-userdebug -j4 instead of just make -j4 i got the kernel and dtb built so very close indeed!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
yeah i'm working on cleaning up vendor right now. what did you have to do to kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Starchild2k:
There was broken files and a suggestion you dont need the frameworks folder in the vendor folder it has the touchwiz framework and when ur building u must use the default framework folder or you will have errors
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
ok i will make clean and build without these frameworks.

thanks for the suggestion. i will come back if i find anything that i think you should know about. i'm going to update the vendor files on github and start building on a remote server
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] messi2050:
Lol I wonder how u are able to build using this tree

https://github.com/minz1/android_device_samsung_j7ltespr/blob/master/BoardConfig.mk#L27

It looks for msm8939 config while the kernel source only have msm8929 config

https://github.com/minz1/android_ke...arch/arm/configs/msm8929_sec_j7_spr_defconfig

Also no lines for the used architecture or target cpu , it's better to use my tree to save your time and get past many errors.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
ugh, okay. i'm curious about samsung's marketing of this device- they claim it's a 615 but it's more likely a 415. i will use your tree instead.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] messi2050:
I believe that only some wrong kernel commits is causing the kernel not to work on my builds, you just need to pick the correct commits and then it should boot successfully,good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
where are these commits located? i will look through them.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Starchild2k:
Also i noticed in the msm8929 boardcommon.mk it was set to andreno-306 it needs to be set to andreno-405 that is the correct one for this phone
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
did you turn everything that gave you issues into comments? in the device tree, that is
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
the device tree messi has is missing some of the files that can be extracted from boot.img... i added them back in, however.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Starchild2k:
Okay i got the sysyem.img to build but it didnt make the zip it had a error and i am pretty sure this is due to a incorrect size on the cache partition im at work now and i will have to rebuild it again when im off tonight which is no biggy being i have ccache enabled to 50gb i dont have alot of time to work on it bcause i got to be back at work early morning but i have all tonorrow night to fool around with it and hopefully i get this built and distributed to the beta testers
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
Oh well, I have plans B and C just in case I was beat to this. Make sure to send me a copy of the ROM so I can test it myself. I'll be working on "plan B"

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
i'm starting back on the grind once again. working more on cm13, hopefully. I picked up a twrp project for the j7xltectc, which should be finishing up in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
[MENTION=4929843]messi2050[/MENTION] i'm surprised you were able to get cyanogenmod built at all... there are so many mismatched files in the proprietary files of your device tree
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] messi2050:
Lol actually if i had continued working on it , i would have a working build many months ago :p
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
the camera would be broken in your build, though. and maybe also audio
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] messi2050:
Let's hope that u even can get a successful build :p

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
currently stuck on this error: http://pastebin.com/8PpeeCc1

[MENTION=4929843]messi2050[/MENTION] any ideas? i think it has to do with the kernel commits.

samsung kernel has been giving me so much grief while building, however, i've been able to get these issues figured out. currently running a new build
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
finally got my first build. i will need to fix the kernel is not seandroid enforcing issue, however, i have a couple ideas as to how

edit: testing permissive kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
permissive kernel doesn't work. not entirely sure what's keeping this from booting.

Current bug when I test the build. I assume the 1st one is much more major. I'm going to make clean and run a new build.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
currently working on a new build with proper kernel configs. instead of user, i changed it to userdebug so i can use logcat
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
Would anyone like to beta test the builds for CM? You MUST be active! And you MUST be able to consistently test and logcat the booting of the ROM. PM if interested.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] prashantp01:
Thanks bro hope so u fixed it...☺
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeknoGodz:
I am definitely open to helping in any way I can, I am currently running your debloated stock ROM as a daily driver.

What state is it in currently though, like does it even boot up? I can definitely help, but probably would be more help at the later stages of testing, I know nothing of kernals and all the crazy **** behind roms... I just know how to root, odin, flash, all the normal stuff... I mean if it is in a runnable state then I can definitely help test and get logcats and whatever you want

I guess just hit me up when you're at a point where you can use a tester thats not a developer... you know what I mean?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
I will keep you in mind... thank you very much! You are the first!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeknoGodz:
Wow really? Thats sad...

Yea, I really appreciate your work on the J700P, you and Star are like the only ones with the skills and the phone lol, and your debloated rom turned this phone basically from a suck fest to freakin acceptable LOL (I'm too used to CM 9,10,11,12 from my other phones TouchWiz is terrible)

Anything I can do to help you out just PM me or email me or whatever, not just on this but on anything to do with the J700P, I will help with whatever I can to help move along development on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vekenti:
What state is this in currently? What bugs?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
Bugs: Won't boot. Still working on that part :P I've messaged [MENTION=3750561]Starchild2k[/MENTION] for his vendor tree to see if I had done anything wrong, but I don't think I have.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SykkNyzz:
I will admit the only reason I wouldn't be able to is because I'm in due process of moving soon and I need this phone active to keep in contact with others. Otherwise, I would because I figured out the bugs with my past issues with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vekenti:
Yeah, I would not mind testing, but I need a reliable phone to call and text, but I will help here and there once you guys get it up and running ^_^

Good luck and can't wait to try it out!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] acesavant00:
Same here! I still use your debloated stock rom & it's amazing to this day. But this is my daily driver, & I can't risk anything happening to it.

Ready to help in any capacity when needed.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vekenti:
Just a quick question, If this is for the J700P, will it also work for the J700T? I'm assuming it would since the only difference is carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
I think not, but it may lead to further development for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vekenti:
Maybe once this gets up and running I will try to port it to my phone then. It shouldn't be that hard from all the guides I am reading. I just can't wait to get off this stupid touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
latest beta has been made. any testers interested in testing a NON-WORKING build, pm me.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LexignisOfficial:
I'm guessing this died? It's been 4 months.

Edit: I noticed that there was a new project here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-lineageos-13-galaxy-j7-j700p-t3574724/

If anyone want's to see what minz1' is currently working on and doesn't want to search for it :P
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] minz1:
Yes; now that it's working, it needs it's own thread.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
UPDATE (07/29/2008)

I’ve thoroughly benchmarked the current (!!!) versions of the most important media players (including the just-released Pocket Tunes; Resco Audio Recorder 4.01, while it’s not the best for playback, has also been included because of the low MP3 playback CPU usage). All the tests have been made on the HP iPAQ 210 (always) clocked at 624 MHz. n/a stands for not supported. I haven’t tested some (not that important) cases requiring a plug-in.

(HTML original HERE)

That is:

Compared to WMP:

* if you only play MP3’s, you’ll want to take a look at Resco, CorePlayer, TCPMP, GSPlayer, Pocket Tunes and MortPlayer in this order, should you want something better than the built-in WMP

* if you play back WMA’s, it’s only CorePlayer that is better than WMP

* if you play back standard (non-HE-AACv2) AAC, on PPC PE devices (that is, Pocket PC phones), you’ll want to go with WMP. On non-phone models, CorePlayer and TCPMP (in this order) are the best; the other (standard) AAC-capable players (Pocket Tunes etc.) aren't that good.

If you want to play back HE-AACv2, the just-released Pocket Tunes 4.1 is your best choice. If you don’t need goodies like libraries, tag reading or AVRCP and can put up with the slightly higher CPU usage, you can get on with TCPMP too. Forget the buggy GSPlayer altogether for HE-AACv2 playback because of the sound quality.

For OGG playback, TCPMP is the best choice. However, its OGG decoder is stated to be a bit inferior in quality; therefore, you might also want to take a look at CorePlayer or GSPlayer. The other OGG-capable players incur a slightly bigger CPU usage.

For FLAC, of the two compatible players, CorePlayer is a bit more battery-friendly. TCPMP isn’t much worse, though.
[General Topics] bjrmd:
According to Conduits, the pocketplayer uses whatever codec is in the WM5/6 library for acc files. The HTC Touch is listed as having eacc+ support. Any chance of using this library for other models? Would this cover HE ACCv2?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
None of the current WinMo devices support eacc+ (HE-ACCv2). HTC have made a mistake.
[General Topics] bjrmd:
How about the motorola Q9 (http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/detailsPf.jsp?globalObjectId=181)

It lists eaac+?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
While I don;t have a Q9 to actually test it, I'm pretty sure they have messed this up too. Very few people know the difference between the three versions of AAC - not even the HTC folks...
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Major update: I've

1.	added info on the CPU usage and the format compliance of the just-released Kinoma Play

2.	added a completely new column on the WMA Pro compliance and CPU usage

3.	fixed some stuff like adding the FLAC playback CPU usage of Pocket Player

to the chart
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] eracet:
Coming off of the Samsung S5 and going to the Honor 8 (Phone should be here tommorow)

On the samsung I had safestrap loaded for recovery, rooted, xposed, and many rooted apps.

I was also running stock rom because of lack of room, also lack of options.

The honor 8 looks like it is easy to get TWRP on it and get it unlocked bootloader.

Not sure about custom roms , looks like there are a few but is stock good ?

Also what about emui5 ?

Here is my current plan unless other suggestions:

Do titanium backup and nandroid on old phone.

Remove Sim and SD

Activate new phone with current sim (May need to go to att to trim)

Unlock Honor 8 bootloader.

Get TWRP loaded.

Root phone

load exposed , SU, Busy box, TB, (not in that order)

Load apps from Google play and overwrite data from TB if needed.

That is about it, so if I do this right should have stock rom and fully rooted and recovery.

currently looking at using Somboons tool for most of it.

This is a repost of my origional , but did in the wrong forums opps on my part.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Nyssa1104:
I think before any mod on this device get used to the function of the unmodified device. And there after do your mods if you happy, unless you've already used this device.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
I have just got my honor 8 and all my other phones have been rooted and using custom Roms.

With this and with the updates and beta N I'm finding that I don't have to.

Using this ROM and using the custom themes that are available it's enough to keep me happy.

I'm looking forward to 2 years worth of updates.

It's an excellent phone and I really like the EMUI 5

Think hard before you root etc. There ain't any finished custom roms as yet.

There is no need to root to get rid of bloatware as the Rom let's you delete most of what you don't want.

Why you need to root ?

Try the phone and see what you can do.

Have fun

John
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] eracet:
I root for many programs , titanium backup , es file explorer, APs toSD pro, xposed and some others.

On the same Samsung there was tons of junk on it.

I know if I go TWRP there isnt much use at the moment. Unless I need to sideload something.

Don't really need a custom rom, not yet at least.

Wondering if I root and keep the stock rom would be the best thing.

Can I load TWRP later ?

Heard it will break the EMUI 5 update.

Or I could always do TWRP , Root etc and then load EUMI 5 or custom version manually someday.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
Yes mate you could root and keep the stock ROM but you will lose the option to get the OTA updates.

Just way up the pro's and cons and see if you really need to root.

I used to use titanium back up and yes it's a great app but there ain't really many options of custom ROMs to go back and forward between to need it in my case. Also now that as soon as you log into your Google account when going into a new rom you get your apps back anyway.

I have a couple of phones and I have root and am running CM14.1 on one of them and I can do more with this EMUI 5 beta N as I can do with CM14.1 !

I personally am gonna stick with stock on this phone for a good while. (At least till there are loads of roms to choose from)

John
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] eracet:
Is the EMUI 5.0 only coming on a Push update?

Or is it possible to flash it or any custom coming out with it. ?

I seen there is a signup for beta now.

I do need root ( I dont save anything to the cloud services) all local

Apps themselves will load from play store and amazon store, just the game data or any other data will be manual reinstall.

From what I understand if I dont install custom recovery I can still get the OTA update when it is time.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
When I got the beta N update it came as an OTA update although i do think that there are some links to getting it via twrp over in the roms thread. I might be wrong with that though. Have a look
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ihaveatattoo:
I were also used to root on all my previous phones including the last one I moved from which was the Galaxy S4.

EMUI has so many nice functions (including choosing whether standard storage should be internal or external) so I actually don't need root anymore. Not even for blocking ads since that can be done through VPN.

If you want to move over your app date without root then do a backup with ADB.

Search for "adb backup" and you'll find a XDA thread about it. I made such a backup and got all my app data moved over along with the apps.

Oh yeah, and personally I'm using Evie for a launcher but when EMUI 5 is published I think I'll move back to the stock launcher.

Bro, the stock ROM rocks with its customisability!

And one more thing; if you're eligible to get an extra year of warranty plus 3 months of free screen change in case it cracks then remember to sign up through the HiCare app.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zippster1:
I'll also be getting my Honor 8 shortly. The only reason I've rooted my phones in the past is for ad blocking. I see there's an app called "Block This" that does not require root? Will that work on this phone?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ihaveatattoo:
I've used AdGuard and it's brilliant, but it's not free.

EDIT: I'm currently using "Block This!" and it's working very well!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] eracet:
I use root for some games, game guardian.

Some games are pay to win. ( I don't mind paying some but don't rob me)

I did get the phone working with my cell company and currently getting the Sd card backed up just in case something goes wrong somewhere.

Looking at getting a bootloader unlock code, but there site doesn't seem to be working right.

Thanks for the suggestions on steps to do.

Read multiple tips and ideas.

Next step is get SD card installed and getting google account loaded up.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] eracet:
Well I installed everything, only thing I don't like so far is it forces apps like hangouts.

I know it was recommended that I do not to TWRP or root, but I did anyways. ( I took suggestions very serious Thank you)

Now trying to get used to setup is a little challanging, maybe playing around with it will help a lot.

Such as hard to find what actual apps I have like an app drawer.

You people are the best at helping out . Thank you so much for helping me get on track !
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] flet2:
Just got my H8 on monday (FRD-L14) and am in the same boat- thinking of Rooting but with the lack of ROM support at the moment I think I'm going to stay stock for a bit. There are some xposed mods that i'd like to get back but the stock features are pretty solid as it is. I did the CM theme, Apex launcher, changed out Icons and I'm pretty damn happy with it!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] eracet:
I have the same model now FRD-L14.

Recovery , rooted, SU, xposed, F-droid.

Loaded my 20 root apps

I did not see a way to root without loading recovery.

There is another thread on TWRP.

What my plan down the road is to keep it like this , then eventtually (I assume early next year) see some development from Roms etc.

Hopefully a modified EUMI 5.

One of the major reasons I did not wait to start the process is because when you unlock bootloader it wipes.

So doing this now I cna set the phone up how I like. Then when the updating begins I can always go back to nandroid backup if something goes wrong.

Even though ATM the TWRP isnt backing up my rom (will update recovery when it does).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] flet2:
Nice- so i assume all the current "how to's" work fine for the L14? I've been reluctant to meddle too much since our model isn't specifically mentioned in most of the post here (though i assume anything for L04 applies). That and I don't see a stock firmware package out there to go back to if something goes wrong. I'm not a total noob but have only rooted and ROM'd with samsung devices so far (GS 2 and 3) which are so well documented and tested you really can't screw it up.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] tekkitan:
I'm really conflicted. I want to root simply because of the option for backing up app data rooted. I could care less about custom ROMs right now, but I want to be able to back up the data inside my apps like all the settings, messages, accounts etc etc. It is really annoying to me that I have to reset that when switching phones. I hate to say it but it seems like Apple does this better with iTunes backups (which is not an option for me though because I don't want to pay the money for an iDevice).

My issue on the H8 though is I rooted it just fine but then realized I forgot to do OTA updates first. So I did the OTA updates (full download) which basically re-locked, re-stocked my bootloader and unrooted the phone. Now in order to re-root, I have to go through unlocking again which is going to wipe all the customizations I already did. I really wish there was a way to keep a stock image WITH root but continue to do OTA updates...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] shail222:
Hello all, this is nothing more than a rom request that runs on android 7.1 nougat for the oneplus 3t. Ideally the rom should also be able to support daleski's pixilify v 10 mod for the oneplus 3 (which can be found with a quick search). The rom would also ideally include many of the features in oxygen os such as loclscreen gestures, 3 finger swipe, dark mode, oneplus camera, and app locking. I know that it takes time to build roms and everything I ask for may not be possible, so please take your time and include whatever is possible. If I had any knowledge on building roms, I would, but alas I am but a noob when it comes to these things. I just want to be able to have most of the same features that come with stock and cyanogen mod but also be able to have the pixel launcher and Google assistant on my 3t. Thanks in advance to the developer who puts in the work for this.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Magnum_Enforcer:
First and foremost, this is a development forum. This is a place for developers to post ROM's, kernels, recoveries, etc. It is not a request forum.

Secondly, the developers here do not work for you. They do what they do mostly as a hobby, in their spare time, with little to no compensation outside of any donations they may receive.

If you are interested in ROM development, I suggest you check out XDA University here on the site.
