Test Report with lineage-14.1-20170314-UNOFFICIAL-trltexx.zip regarding Bluetooth Hands-free-Device Issues

Yesterday I did an additonal Test of the latest ROM in Regards of Bluetooth Hands-free Connection Issues.

While these Disconnect / Microphone Death Issues still happen from Time to Time it seems they don't happen that often compared to previous Build lineage-14.1-20170309-UNOFFICIAL-trltexx.zip.

This Morning for Example I started a Call using the connected Bluetooth Hands-free Device (Car Headunit) & noticed that the other Person on the Call could not hear me.

I am planning to monitor that with using [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] 's daily Builds - today I installed the latest Build lineage-14.1-20170315-UNOFFICIAL-trltexx.zip - lets see how it develops -

I am also going to test whether MHL / HDMI Connection works better meanwhile ...

As soon as I have an Update I will report Results then here ...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] shadow_empire1:
thx for the info.

will this wipe/factory reset my device?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
it will yes because you have to reformat the data and cache partitions, and the data partition holds your information. you could take a backup in twrp, format then install lineage then restore that partition back, but i didnt do that
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ticky33:
I did it! I can confirm it's working !
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
great stuff, hopefully youll be able to see some performance gains like i did from doing it :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ticky33:
F2fs is the best file system for all Android device for a long tome! Nice to use it on lineageos note 4 :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
Did you toggle the option in TWRP to use 'rm -rf' instead of formatting? If you didn't, I believe restoring a TWRP backup reformats the partitions to the file system that was used when the backup was taken, so you might be back to ext4.

I have just enabled F2FS on mine as well but like Luminar2010 I decided to do a full clean wipe and reinstall from scratch as I've been meaning to do so for a while and this was a good enough reason to do so :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ticky33:
Backup data no option.

Advanced wipe -data and cache - change file system f2fs.

Restore data
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
In the general TWRP settings there's an option to "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" (or words to that effect). This is accessible from the TWRP main/home page and isn't part of the backup (or restore) flow. You can check the filesystem from TWRP by going to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Change filesystem -- it'll tell you what the current filesystem is at the point you can choose the new filesystem. From the guides I read I think yours will be back to ext4 after your restore. I could well be wrong though, as I didn't try this.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
Yeah it wasn't really a huge problem to backup SMS etc then restore them back and installing a few apps didn't take so long. After a change of file system it seemed better to just start fresh. Definitely liking the performance on f2fs so far
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ticky33:
After m'y restore i'm on F2fs.

In general twrp setting, "use RM -RF instead of formating is not toggle
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
I did notice a problem with twrp when i first tried to select data and cache at the same time to reformat, i got an error but it was fine when i did one at a time.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
Good stuff. :good: Sounds like something has changed in TWRP since the guides I read were written.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ticky33:
Make your backup on ext card !!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
Yeah, same here - had to do them one at a time (and some can't be changed: Dalvik/ART and Internal Storage).

---------- Post added at 13:12 ---------- Previous post was at 13:11 ----------

Oh yes, for sure :) I always do but it's a very good point worth raising.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ticky33:
The internal is not wipe with data, but when you change the file system all data is wipe, even the internal storage !
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] DIMITRISGR83:
Perfect news.....! I found the Bluetooth problem. It was my fault. The Rom is perfect and Bluetooth files and kernel is OK. The problem happen from my Bluetooth watch! (Mi Band 2) I uninstall watch software and the watch from my Bluetooth devices and Bluetooth in calls work amazing perfect in all my headsets!!!!! Why my watch give these problems???? Also the auto disconnect appeared from my watch and now disappearing.

[MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] another random freeze, no reboot but a power off this time. Definitely seems to be when the system is under load, was playing bubblewitch saga at the time. Battery profile too doesn't seem to stick, i change to performance often, this reverts to balanced usually after a reboot - not sure if this is how it should be or not?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
[MENTION=5748903]Luminar2010[/MENTION] I've installed that game and played for about 15min (couldn't play more, I'm not really a phone gamer).. but the phone worked how it should, no freeze, no reboots.. it even didn't get hot.. so any other way to reproduce the issue?

I never had any radom reboots, but I'm not a power user like most of you.. Anyone else having similar issues?

The possible cause are the adreno drivers.. do you want that I make a flashable zip with the samsung's N910FXXS1DQB4 adreno drivers? Like that you can flash it and see if the issue is still there or not..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
Well it doesnt seem to happen every time, and not always in the same circumstances, it can be fine for hours then suddenly it'll happen, but usually when something intensive is going on. Sure thanks that would be great, would that be a flash in addition to the latest build or included? Happy to give it a try thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Graivite:
I had today one freeze and two reboots in 20 minutes while using mobile data, spotify playing through bluetooth and chatting with friends on messenger.

In my case I can play any game on my phone fine for a long time without getting a single restart, but restarts happen in really weird moments.

Overall if anyone is wondering right now whether to install this rom or wait a bit longer, the answer is yes. I've installed older twrp and the rom in F2FS file system for data and cache - couldn't be any better than this setup. Bluetooth is working fine for phone calls and music. Mobile data is stable for me, no signal drops or anything like that. Location/GPS works as it should for Maps or Snapchat. Performance with F2FS and balanced profile battery - no doubt it's the fastest rom I've ever used. The only downside is that it restarts sometimes. I can live with it, devs do everything they can.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
As you probably know we are now using latest adreno drivers from developer.qualcomm website, but those drivers are meant for shamu (nexus6) and I was wondering if it may be the cause of your (and probably others) random reboots.

You'll find attached to this post a flashable zip with the adreno drivers extracted from samsung's N910FXXS1DQB4 firmware. Flash it, try to reproduce the issue and let me know if now it is worst, better or whatever.

In case this solve the issue I'll change the shamu's drivers with those-ones for our lineageos builds.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mx-5driver:
I did not notice that _mone mentioned an Instruction on how to change the Filesystem from ext4 towards f2fs somewhere !?

From what I read from some Members here it really seems to have an Impact on Performance ?

May I please ask for a Hint on where exactly these Instructions are - e.g. Thread # or Link etc. ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
Excellent thanks, will i need to flash this every time i flash a daily build at the moment? Will let you know how it goes cheers :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
Here:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
Do i flash this with twrp in the normal way?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Graivite:
Yes. Odin - AP
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
Try it out now.. then let me know how it goes... if you think that this solve the issue I'll update the repository and the next builds will have those drivers.. so no need to flash it again. Your decision.. let us know.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
I, for one, have had 1 reboot on the 0314 build while using the main Facebook app. But my tablet also rebooted a couple days ago because of Facebook, and it's on the latest official build, so clearly it's the Facebook app's fault :D

[MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION], just out of curiosity, what's left on the to-do list before you can confidently submit trltexx and trltetmo for official support? The 5GHz hotspot I can live without. No hurry of course, perfection takes time :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
It is a .zip file, flash with twrp.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
Great, have done now, will try things out, thanks again

First quick tests, atuntnu reports 77000 score where it was 80000 previously, but atuntnu tends to report different scores even if you run it twice in a row so I'd forget that. Everything else seems fine so far but I'll run it for the next day, normally i have at least one reboot. Any ideas on the distorted audio? I only really have this atuntnu when the system is i see extreme load, but i think some others had it occasionally
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _mone:
Hmm.. we definitely shouldn't have random reboots.. so I'm trying to find out what the cause is.. even if I never had one.. maybe adreno drivers, maybe user related.. I don't know yet.

Probably the camera and the time zone (for trltetmo) are the biggest issues left??

When fattire will feel comfortable with what we have achieved he'll speak with the lineageos heads and we'll see what happen next. (they don't pay attention to me lol)

We don't really care about benchmarks.. make your tests before flashing any other builds..

Do we have distorted audio for calls, music or videos?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Luminar2010:
Yes camera seems to freakout when HDR is selected. Yeah agreed benchmarks are meaningless, everything runs pretty smooth, definitely smoother since f2fs for me. No I'm not hearing audio problems getting really in anything else, I'm sure others did have previously but haven't seen them comment in a while, so it could well be limited to atuntnu
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] elitedz:
[MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] thanks for your support and excellent work, i have 3 questions

1 do i need to convert the sys partition to F2FS ?

2 which version of supersu will work ? systemless or sysmode ?

3 how to check if my partition use f2fs

BR
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
I can only intelligently answer 2: If you flash SuperSU, it will decide in which mode to install itself. I believe on Nougat it's always systemless due to more strict access restrictions to the /system folder. Either way, I added that line to the bashrc file that re-adds built-in root to every build.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] elitedz:
what about converting sys partition/folder to f2fs ?what did you do in your device to test f2fs
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] calris:
Does this mean installing LineageOS will always result in a rooted phone, without using a root util?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] RishiChhikkara:
No rendom reboots for me, usually it happens while i use chrome, will report back if it happens in the future, camera is definitely buggy, if i keep flash on , it would get stuck, wont take any pictures & upon reopening it would say "can't connect to the camera", distortion in audio while running benchmarks is still there, but as you said, benchmarks are not important, sounds are clear while playing games or music, battery life is good, stability is good, although themes with substranrum are not yet fully operational, there are here & there, but i guess that normal given this is pure lineageos build, hense OMS support isn't present.

But one particular issue is bothering me, play store won't download anything while roaming , it's happening on every Android N build i have tried, be it lineageos, Reserruction Remix or Emotion Os, all same, any ideas what might be causing this?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] calris:
I've had a few instances where the phone gets stuck in a mode that appears to be like it things the phone has a cover which has been closed (I don't have a cover case) - top half of the screen is blue with date/time, bottom half is blank. Only way out has been to remove the battery
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] RelaxedMind:
My phone reboots when I am using YouTube apk.

This zip works for trltetmo?

[MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION]

First thanks very much for pointing my Nose to your How-to Post :)

I am having a few Questions before heading to change the Filesystem - I want to fully understand the Extend what it means:

Reading the Comments I understand changing the Filesystem to F2FS will mean a full Wipe.

Are there any Disadvantages to be considered e.g.:

- Is the Way back to Stock ROM still open ?

- What happens when flashing Stock ROM e.g. Repair ROM - does it change the Filesystem back to ext4 ?

- What happens when flashing a PIT File e.g. in Case of Problems / Need of flashing Stock Repair ROM ?

I noticed the newer TWRP is an .img File - So far I only was flashing TWRP as .tar Files - How does this one have to be flashed ?

Why is that newer TWRP not yet listed at the TWRP Website for our Device - is it not really official yet ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ticky33:
I have also random reboots.

You 're right, i think it's an adreno driver issu.

It would be better using Samsung adreno drivers in your build and see
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Incarniac:
The short answer is that no, you don't need to and I don't think there would be a benefit in doing so.

The slightly longer answer is: My understanding is that the benefit of F2FS is mainly on partitions that receive a lot of random smaller write operations, which the 'cache' and 'data' partitions do. In other usage scenarios probably won't see any noticeable performance improvement and may see worse performance for certain situations.

I'll add that I've not done any actual benchmarks - this is based on what I've read elsewhere. I'll also add that I'm by no means an expert on F2FS or EXT4 :)

Also - I did actually (try to) change my system partition to F2FS but it seems TWRP will always reformats this partition to EXT4 when flashing a ROM. I don't know if that's something TWRP does by default or if the file system is specified in the ROM flash ZIP data. If you really want to, you might be able to work around this by enabling the TWRP setting "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" (I say might because I haven't tried it, as I left it at EXT4).

You can either use TWRP or an app to check:

In TWRP, tap "Wipe", then "Advanced Wipe", tick/choose a single partition, and tap "Repair or Change File System". It will tell the current file system of the partition at the screen where you can actually change it.

Use an app to check more easily than booting into TWRP. I use SystemPanel2, which has this information in "Device" -> "Storage". Each partition is listed along with the file system and various other information (except internal storage isn't listed with a file system). DiskInfo is another app that should have this information, although I've not used it personally.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
Yes, if you enable root in the Developers options of whichever build you flash, it will remain even after you wipe the /system partition and install a newer build.

[MENTION=7344687]dh.0511[/MENTION], build 0307 is kind of old. I've started building daily. Links in my signature.

Just played some Traffic Racer for 10 minutes before and after flashing the Adreno driver. The game is less choppy and my phone didn't get as warm with the Adreno driver. [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION], I definitely recommend integrating it into your code.

Hi there!

I have a new TEST build:

lineage-14.1-20170316-UNOFFICIAL-trltexx.zip

I would like to know from you what you think about brightness..

Then I need someone to test any related to sim card (mobile data, signal, calls, etc) and let me know if something better/worst/whatever.

And I definitely have messed up with the led.. It doesn't turn on.. so I'll not include those changes..

This build still have the adreno drivers for shamu.. if everyone is happy with the samsung's drivers I'll include those in the source.

I probably won't be around today, so I'll see what you think tomorrow.
