i tried this rom last week....very very nice.

only problem i had was the power button was mapped to reboot.

there wasn't a way to power down without pulling the battery or thru twrp.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] dipamdasgupta:
it has oms support ?? substratum works in legacy mode or normal mode ??

sorry , didn't read the description from top to bottom ... my bad
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] kunalchitara:
Thanks for BAM ROM. Was keeping an eye on it at AFH,but didn't tested it, thought, it might be on beta testing. Will flash it and post reviews soon

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] kunalchitara:
Review-

Flashed it today. The ROM is quite good in customisations. But the deal breaker is laggy UI.

Just after initial setup, lagging starts. The first lag I observed is while pulling down notification drawer.

Settings app also lags.

Performance isn't optimized.

The good part is, some of the customization features in this ROM are really cool and not found on other ROMs.eg,

Gesture features with three, four and five fingers that too in many ways. (Check SS)

The UI is coloured different.

And the best part i like is, BAM perApp Settings im which you can set custom setting for each app including layout (set DPI) and screen (various modes). (Check SS).

The ROM is good and bears potential. Hope for the future updates implementing proper performance optimizations.
[Samsung Gear Fit] emike09:
Hi all,

Sorry if this has already been covered, but all the info I can find is for the original Gear Fit.

Has anybody been able to get the Gear Fit 2 working with a custom rom on a Samsung Device? I'm trying to run LineageOS 14 on my GS5 but have had no success getting Open Fit or any of the Samsung Gear Manager APKs to talk to the gear. Bluetooth connection works fine, but can't get past that. I managed to get Gear Manager installed, but get a message "The operating system on your phone has been modified..." and I can't get past that screen.

Anybody had luck on the GF2 on custom roms?
[Samsung Gear Fit] dersie:
Gear Fit2 works on ALL android phone with the PlayStore Gear Manager version ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] emike09:
Ok it seems to work with some editing of the /system/build.prop file, then re-downloading the Samsung Gear app from the playstore. Works for CM14. See this thread:

Hello,

I've been trying for days to connect a Gear Fit 2 to a Galaxy S 3 Mini.

I have tried on the S3 Mini both a 5.1.1 as well as a 6.0.1 of CM.

The build.prop I have modified and all "samsung" replaced by "htc".

Various Samsung Gear Apps I've tried (including Gear Plugin).

The app can not find the Gear Fit 2, pairing works :(

With an iPhone it works, as well with the S 7 Edge of my wife.

Any ideas ?

Many Thanks

LOL. Of all brands, iPhones! Clearly you haven't heard about Louis Rossman's vendetta against Apple, hehe. While Samsung sucks regarding this issue in particular, it's still leagues above Apple. Though give it time and I'm sure it'll get worse. I really think we can't appreciate enough how valuable it is that Android is open source.

Hey guys, dont know if anyone has come across this yet but for those who havent it looks like there may be a new interface for your wm device.

Looks promising. I wonder if it is flash driven or C+ coded. A little strange how the video shows him sliding his finger to the right and the screen animation goes left?? That would drive me nuts!

I watched the video a couple of times and it seems to move very smoothly and quickly. I really like the way it works...........HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
[General Questions and Answers] dorothyg07:
Thanks for the positive feedback. I'd say its more inspired by frustration of what I call Windows 3.11 Syndrome and poor excuses for performance because they have limited memory and slower cpus.

Never used an iPhone, sure looks nice. Not sure about user interaction consistency across all their apps which is something we hope to achieve with our framework.

Rest assured this is running on Windows Mobile. Unlike so many others we haven't forgotten those with Windows Mobile 2003.
[General Questions and Answers] simplicity05:
Plus you can see "Windows Mobile" as the second option:

And Active Sync as option two on this one:

Anyone else have any info on this project?
[General Questions and Answers] mphayvanh:
Wow--amazing ui. I share your frustration with the Win 3.11 syndrome but I hate that other people keep using the iPhone comparison. The iPhone is like a new puppy--everyone loves it because it's cute and could do simple things (email, web, music, movies, pictures, oh calls too). After awhile, then what? Everyone here can name 100 things their PDA/Phone can do more than the iPhone--except on tiny little thing....and that's doing it with style! Swipe here, roll there, flip here, touch there, whatever which way.

Pointui will complete my PDA and will probably get more people to buy a Win Mobile device now that it's balanced with usability and functionality. Thanks, can't wait for Jan 1.

Im back again

Just watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRw1T-N5dic

Seems it uses the standard WM phone pad, which sucks, hope they do there own phone pad/full phone system thing. Also, wonder how the text messages/email is handles, hopefully not the standard WM outlook??? Any guys in the know about this?
[General Questions and Answers] purelithium:
The scrolling/changing screens by sliding your finger seems counter-intuitive. I like how on my touch I grab and pull to the side of the cube I want, this Pointui looks like it is grab and push towards the place you want to go, very awkward...

Other than that, it looks very interesting!
[General Questions and Answers] rjtd:
Actually I think that scrolling the finger to go to the next screen is really sleek and intuitive.

And the speed is amazing! Really smooth, even on a Wizard! OMFG! These guys know how to program :D

From the screenshots and video I only miss some antialiasing on some text (top text saying "telstra", and some text on the initial screen), and it would be great to integrate further apps into Home, like the phone and messages (read, write, send).
[General Questions and Answers] E_Shinobi:
I think this will be, again, one of those applications that disappoint the moment I press one of the "system menu" buttons and end up in the WM6 menu without any transition.

Becaus then, it just doesn't make any sense... Man, being all happy that you can go through the menu with your finger just to find out that if you REALLY want to make system changes you have to use the old stylus again sucks.

I think all the iPhone cloning is a massive backleash...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fused#1:
DISCLAIMER: I WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE BY USING THIS METHOD

Warning: this will only work with the older firmware (Android 6.0.1/1BEBFDB1 )

What this will achieve:

You will flash a modified boot image that runs selinux in permissive mode.

You will flash a custom recovery that allows you to root the device.

After you are done, your userdata will most likely not be encrypted anymore. You can re-enable encryption in the system settings.

DOWNLOAD

1. Install the usb drivers that come with the device, in /system/etc/USBDriver.iso.

They are also in the download package, in USBDriver/.

Run Setup.vbs.

Also install SUGAR QCT_SP v11.1.2 Setup.exe from the download package.

2. Connect your device to your computer and boot it into EDL mode (enable usb debugging).

adb.exe reboot edl

3. Run SUGAR QCT_SP (use credentials from download package), select VF1400 device and click on the upgrade button.

It will download the latest official firmware update into "C:\Program Files (x86)\SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2\bin\VF1400-2AVXXXX" (VF1400-2AVDDE1, for me).

After the download is done and the flashing started, make a copy of the VF1400-2AVXXXX folder to your Desktop.

4. While the flashing is going on, we can start to modify out copy of VF1400-2AVXXXX.

In it should be a folder, most likely called 1BEBFDB1 (version number of the update).

Inside that folder should be the .mbn files we care about: B1BEB0B0CD00.mbn (boot image) and R1BEB0B0CD00.mbn (recovery image).

Possibly they will be called differently, but I assume the boot image always starts with B and the recovery with R.

You can check "C:\Program Files (x86)\SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2\tool\logs\Sugar_XXXXXXXX.log" to make sure which file is which.

Replace B1BEB0B0CD00.mbn with boot.img from the download and R1BEB0B0CD00.mbn with recovery.img.

5. After the flash is done and the device rebooted, put it in edl mode again (after enabling usb debugging).

adb.exe reboot edl

6. Now, *before* we start SUGAR QCT_SP again, copy the VF1400-2AVXXXX into "C:\Program Files (x86)\SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2\bin"

7. Start SUGAR QCT_SP, select VF1400 device and hit upgrade.

Congratulations! After flashing and after the next reboot you are running with selinux in permissive mode and you can flash SuperSU from the recovery.

Now copy the latest SuperSU flashable zip into your internal storage and install it from recovery.

The recovery used is CM-13.0, device tree based on https://github.com/zwliew/android_device_xiaomi_land

Being compiled with prebuilt kernel from boot.img.

Hi fused#1,

thanks for this, have you tried to install Xposed on this device after rooting it?

Hi,

i've now tested and installed xposed.

You need this files: xposed-v87-sdk23-arm.zip, XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk and for safety the xposed-uninstaller-20160829-arm.zip.

Install the xposed-v87-sdk23-arm.zip with recovery, after reboot install the XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk.

Hello,

is there any way to get ntfs oder exfat support on the vodafone tab prime 7 ?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gandharva:
Hi, I tried your guide today, but it failed at flashing the alternative bootloader and recovery. System was not able to boot anymore after flashing the second time with your altered files.

Display only showed "powered by android" and nothing else happened. Luckily I found out that you are able to switch back into EDL mode when this happens:

- Shut down device (disconnect any cable and press power until display switches off)

- Press Vol+ AND Vol- for about 10 seconds and then insert USB cable

-> "powered by android" label flashes up and then display goes black and voila you are in EDL mode again :)

---------------------

Here comes my question:

Is it possible that your bootloader and/or recovery are incompatible with latest FW version? Could you have a look at the current bootloader and recovery to get selinux in permissive mode again? I attached the original bootloader and recovery that was downloaded with SUGAR QCT_SP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fused#1:
Hi,

quite possible.

I wasn't even aware of the new firmware version. Obviously this only works with the old firmware. I will make that clear in the original post.

What firmware/android version is it? Maybe I'll look into that today or tomorrow.

Cheers

edit: I'm not even being offered the new firmware. Can you upload all of it somewhere?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] misterfx:
Hi,

it seems there is again a new fw, files named like R1BEJ0J0CD00.mbn, with security patch level of April 2017. A user flashed this with the root-patch, but he has no wifi anymore.

Thanks for a update :D

Hi fused#1,

have you a hint, i've now a 2nd device with the old fw (and saved old firmware files), but sugar_qct always do a update and downloads the new firmware... is it possible to flash the old, saved files?

Thanks,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Neeschar:
Hey misterfx,

can u do an tutorial, how u did it to flash the old fw?

I tryed many things but he doesnt accept the old files (and i dont know the new folder-name).

Would help many guys i think, thanks ^^
[Miscellaneous Android Development] misterfx:
Hi,

you can download the new fw with sugar_qct (but while downloading, unplug the tab)... you now have the new folder name and the files inside it.

Rename ALL old firmware files (from backup) to the new names and copy they to the new fw folder and replace all files.

Then exit sugar_qct and start it again, it will find the "new" files... make upgrade.

Good luck,

Thanks misterfx for your time for uploading and sharing the old firmware.

Unfortunately i tried many times using Sugar but it does always download and install the new firmware unstead the one i place .

Is there any other flash software that can flash this Rom directly ?

All regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] misterfx:
Hi,

have you disconnected the tab during new fw download and replaced after download just the files from the folder in the rar to the new folder? You can compare file names, if they are really the same... after that, sugar should find the "new" files and flash the device... it works on my tab.

Finally i have installed the old firmware of September 2016.

Do you know how i install Supersu zip from recovery so i can access root privilege.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] misterfx:
Hi,

make the setup in android, activate adb, then reboot into recovery with adb command (i. e. with Minimal ADB package): adb reboot recovery.

In Cyanogenmod Recovery you can now flash the supersu zip (Apply update, Choose from emulated), up/down with volume keys, enter with power key.

Guys, don't make it so complicated.

Just flash the new Firmware with the OLD modified Recovery and Boot.

After the flash is done just go to recovery, and via adb, push my modified boot from the NEW firmware (attached files).

Voila, wifi working.

And before anyone asks, no it's not possible to flash the Mod recovery from the old FW with the MOD boot from the new one directly.

adb remount
adb push boot.img /system
adb shell dd if=/system/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p26

Hello

I am currently trying to unbrick my mothers VF1400 which just gaver up last night and stopped booting.

After not being able to get into Recovery Mode or Download Mode / EDL with Button combinations I managed to boot it into EDL Mode with a selfmade EDL Cable but still Mobile Upgrade Q / Sugar wont flash the device.

My last idea is, to try flash the device with QPST but I can't make any sense to the file names from the stock rom - does somebody know which files are which or where I could look those up?

For example OP found B1BEB0B0CD00.mbn is the bootloader and so on.

Thanks in advance!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] melaconda:
I do not know if it helps, but it might have some idea, my Pop4 5051j was practically dead, but I found out that even without any sign of life, it still connected in EDL mode, using the "Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008" port, even when the screen is off.

I just held the keys to the EDL mode of my device, and I used the USB disconnect audio and connection, and the Windows "Device Manager" to guide me, as soon as the device reconnected, I released the mode keys EDL and clicked the Upgrade button on Sugar.

Sorry for my English.

P.s I read somewhere that the "driver signing" mode on windows should be disabled to get flash on devices.

Hi,

been away for a while and haven't checked this topic. You should probably be able to flash the recovery with the method in the first post, but without flashing anything else. Then you need to boot directly into recovery because it will overwrite the recovery from the system image on the next normal boot. You then might be able to flash SuperSU and have it stick - but no guarantee.

Given that this tablet really was locked down pretty tight and I used dirtycow (now patched) to get root to dump the original images.... that's probably about the only way...

Except you want to do it over. The kernel in my git repo works with the recovery, so you could just compile a twrp and modify all the system images accordingly,

What's your mother tounge? Iirc, there was a german translations around somewhere...
