flashed successfully SFOS as secondary rom, but i am new to linux, and not able to transfer file from PC to phone using terminal and run SFDROID. Can someone make a video how this is done.

LP
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] coder3101:
Booted as Secondary ROM in LP loader !! :cool:

Update :

I am using new Base of CM , here is how I did the installation.

Prerequisites :

-> I was on Mokke Custom ROM (Nougat built), you can be anything !

Methods :

* Install the MutiRom TWRP.

* Install the MutiRom installer through the MultiRom TWRP

* Flash the cm12.1 zip (One uploaded on Android File Host, Use Latest)

* Flash the SFOS zip, again use latest one in AFH

* Boot to Internal ROM

* Use any root explorer and delete the stuffs as mentioned in [MENTION=6921532]iamsubhranil[/MENTION] 's post. (Use ES File explorer, with root access and "View Hidden file")

* Paste the two extracted files to the folder mentioned in his post.

* Reboot and boot to Secondary ROM.

Precautions and Observations :

1. I found that Sometimes, SFOS doesn't boot directly but goes to boot loop for 1-2 times. Have Patience.

2. If your phone is connected to USB or is charging , SFOS will give you a boot loop (experienced twice).

3. Ask me not regarding my bootloader. I flashed MIUI 8.2 Global Developer Image, few days back.

EDIT : I was on 1 December MIUI 8.0 Global Developer..

SFDROID :

Review for OP / maintainer.

1. I am on Prime version, and SFDROID is just very slow.

2. I can't Pull Notification panel. It opens SFDROID 's panel not Android.

3. For some Reasons I cannot turn. The Wifi off. Also It says No SIM detected. (It maybe because it is running inside of SFDROID, or dev knows better)

THOSE TRYING TO FLASH SFDROID AND GETTING ERROR WHILE CONNECTING TO "nemo" , ( SSH connection ), make sure that Settings-> USB -> (is set to Developer mode) .

I got an Error while killing all Processes such as SurfaceFlingers, main etc....

Error was that :

" zygote : no such process found "

Still I ignored and Android Booted Happily inside of SFDROID. :laugh:
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
I followed every step. Didn't take. Can't boot. I'm using lollipop firmware with a 2014819 device. It's a weird model, it's a Prime version using a Redmi 2 firmware for compatibility with 4G in Mexico. This Prime model is officially still using KitKat but Prime firmware works except for 4G. Custom OSs are great because they carry drivers and configs to work with 4G.

The only way I could make Sailfish work is under KitKat bootloader and I erased it because I did not know this Warehouse app store.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] coder3101:
I am using xxx18 Model.. Indian Model, Also I must tell you that I tried recent Global Developer ROMs and it gave me boot loop. Make sure you are either on old Global Developer or MIUI 8.0 Stable.

[MENTION=7494842]nrdnandan[/MENTION] Since CM12.1 is now being built by you, can please backport some of tweaks from CM 13 and 14.1 since some bugs that were fixed in source are still present in the CM Base you use.

Also the jolla appstore seems to have like 5 apps right now, can you include openrepos warehouse with the packages?

The development of SFOS based on CM 13 base is entirely a different ball game, I might work on it after sometime.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] iamsubhranil:
Why not?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] taalojarvi:
i didn't mean it like that, i meant you could bring the source fixes that were introduced later on in development and put it into CM12.1 source

ill be using your build as a driver for a while. ill report any bugs

BUGS FOUND!

EXT4 formatted memory cards wont get write access for some reason. Workaround is to use VFAT

Video playback is bugged. it plays the video but playback is distorted
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
Can't boot. But I'm confused anyway with versioning seems like appended build dates have nothing to do with the actual date when this builds happened. So I am trying to install the most recently uploaded files even though the appended date of the build starts with 2016 for Sailfish instead of the other with appended 2017. Is this correct? Can anyone specify the complete name of the builds I should be using?

EDIT: I know the correct builds now. I can confirm it will only run with KK bootloader in my 2014819 device.

EDIT 2: Wow. So beautiful OS.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nrdnandan:
Updates:

CM-BASE and SFOS-BASE has been updated for:

1.Faster boot up time

2.Less CPU and RAM load.

3. Low RAM config has been added for SFDROID to remove (if you don't need it) that edit your /system/build.prop and search for term "low ram" and comment out that line.

4. For improving your SFDROID you might want to edit /default.prop and /system/build.prop, search MIUI and XDA website for the same, don't ask me I am done with SFDROID for now.

Please download from AFH link on the first page.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nrdnandan:
For SFDROID users:

1. I am leaving the development of SFDROID for some time.

2. For problems of No Voice in Calls in SFOS, that is because of conflicting services in SFOS and SFDROID, and it will be resolved and is currently been investigated by me and other members of #sfdroid on IIRC channel.

3. For the time being, the temporary solution to no voice call is:

a. Go to terminal in your phone and type devel-su and type in your developer's password

b. Now type vi /init.sfdroid.rc

c. Now scroll down and edit these line:

service sfdroid_media /usr/libexec/sfdroid/system/bin/mediaserver

class main

user media

group audio camera inet net_bt net_bt_admin net_bw_acct drmrpc mediadrm qcom_diag

ioprio rt 4

to

#service sfdroid_media /usr/libexec/sfdroid/system/bin/mediaserver

# class main

# user media

# group audio camera inet net_bt net_bt_admin net_bw_acct drmrpc mediadrm qcom_diag

# ioprio rt 4

d. Now exit VI editor and type reboot, SFDROID won't load but audio in calls will work, for starting SFDROID revert the changes and SFDROID will work.

It is rather impressive the battery life you achieve with the latest builds and I'm talking SOT here, I didn't realize how Android just sucks BIG TIME in terms of battery life and multitasking. I truly hope you can bring us Sailfish 2.1.x with the announcement made today about Sailfish coming to Xperia phones officially I am expecting some better pace in Sailfish development (in OS itself and apps).

Yesterday I learned a lot of Sailfish and I loved it's GNU/Linux part. It was refreshing to use ssh transparently thru my WLAN to try and solve some internal problems I was having and sending files with scp was really not easy for a regular fella' but I liked it in a geeky sense. Wayland makes the UI shine and Jolla Launcher is really eye candy, intuitive and designed with multitasking in mind. The only problem I can think of is the lack of apps and compatibility with some services (I use my own CardDAV and CalDAV server which I only syncronize locally), you gotta hate WhatsApp if you use Sailfish OS, they had a functional WhatsApp program but WhatsApp cut down third-party dev programs and that was the end of it. Cutegram still rocks there! I hope I can make SFOS my main OS soon, but I need to make my CalDAV calendars to work, they are a must, and some time to get rid of WhatsApp.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] iamsubhranil:
It is built upon the almighty Linux. What were you expecting? ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
Found bugs:

1) Headphones are acting like a mic in Radio FM. I mean if I raise volume up I can hear things happening around me thru phones. I receive signals broadcasting and SFOS can even list all known radio stations but all I hear is what happens surrounding me.

2) Seems like I can't really auto lock my device. No matter if I change configuration my screen keeps on and I have to turn it off manually.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] taalojarvi:
Your init script was mounting my actual data partition (mmcblk0p30) instead of my external_sd card (mmcblk1p1). i modified the init file in accordance. It boots perfectly now (LP bootloader!)

[MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION] can you compile twrp with support for sailfish?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] iamsubhranil:
Well it is because I'm using sailfish as an internal secondary.

Meanwhile, AFAIK sailfish support is a matter of concern for MultiROM itself, twrp still flashes it perfectly anywhere. I've talked with nkk71 for MultiROM support, he told that non-android booting functionality of MultiROM is broken. Someone has to rewrite it.

Btw, are you on dev or stable MIUI?
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] taalojarvi:
Who uses MiUi :laugh:? Anyway i have attached my firmware in an earlier post, try using that.

The porters at #sailfish-porters said there are commits to enable Sailfish compatibility, try the Nexus 5 SFOS thread

FYI I'm using CAF AOSP 7.1.1

I don't find any harm in that, during my peak time with my phone, I flashed like 8-10 ROMs in a day. My phone is still working fine, but I recommend you to limit your time checking out ROMs, you might end up risking your internal storage.

[Windows 10 Mobile] hikari_calyx:
Enable reset protection on unsupported phone will write an UEFI Variable to your phone that isn't supported by WP8.1 GDR1 or older version, which make your phone not bootable.

Currently you can't fix it unless a Lumia 630 firmware with WP8.1GDR2 or newer version available. As far as I know, only Lumia 930 has a leaked firmware with W10M 10240 available. I don't know how to erase that UEFI Variable on a retail phone manually.
[YotaPhone] registeringisstupid:
Hello everyone,

So, I'm having a bit of a strange problem with my Yotaphone 2...

I did a factory reset on it a while back, and everything went fine, except now, when the screen is locked, I can no longer unlock the e-ink screen by dragging up the lock icon on the bottom of the e-ink screen. I have to use the hardware power button, which is a little bit inconvenient at times. I've spent quite a while trying to locate what setting got effected to make it not function, but with no luck. Anybody have any idea where I can turn this function back on?
[YotaPhone] alienBaboso:
It happened to me too, I think it was something related with the Lollypop update, but could be some setting that has changed and that I cannot find. However, I found that if I double tap before tracing the finger motion, it usually works. That's why I didn't look further into the issue.
[YotaPhone] registeringisstupid:
No luck for me. I'm still on Kitkat anyway...

Looks like I might be stuck...
[YotaPhone] registeringisstupid:
Actually, scratch that... after your double tap suggestion, I started randomly tapping around managed just once to get it to unlock from a screen touch, but have not been able to replicate the movement so it happens again. What movement exactly do you use to get it to unlock?
[YotaPhone] registeringisstupid:
Update:

Seems to be some kind of sensitivity issue. I can get it to unlock about once out of every 50 swipes. Less than ideal.
[YotaPhone] alienBaboso:
I leave the phone with the E-ink screen facing up (to prevent the gyroscope from switching sensitivity to the amoled display instead), then press twice the lock icon, and on the second time my finger touches the E-ink, I drag it up to the center of the phone. It took a bit of practice but now I can get it to work consistently. The double tap is because if the phone has been inactive for a while, it enters sleep mode, and it looks like that turns off the finger gesture recognition. Other possible explanations are that maybe you don't press the screen firmly enough, or maybe you placed some plastic sheet over the back display and that reduces sensitivity.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
I noticed that the unlock gestures on the EPD work only when the phone recognizes that you've it in the hand or you're using it. So I take it and I unlock it effectively. Trying to unlock when it lays down and you haven't moved it for a while brings to your experience.
[YotaPhone] registeringisstupid:
Thanks to both of you for the advice... unfortunately, neither seems to be doing the trick. Just a caution for any other people who are thinking of doing a factory reset - it seems to seriously impact sensitivity for the e-ink unlock, so be aware.
[YotaPhone] shokmah:
I never succeed to do slide up unlock even within 1st tutorial. Double tap unlock was the only workaround for me. Also activated glove sensitivity mode.

First of all: none rooting process, deletes- removes your OS.

You haven't said what model you have? For example mine is ALE-L21 Dual....If you have L04 I cannot help you and the next guide is useless....

Go to this thread and download minimal ADB from from chapter 1 - and install if necessary. I am not sure if the Hisuite is needed, but since it says "drivers" install it just in case - if you don't have it.

Then go to chapter 7 and download TWRP.

Copy TWRP to the folder where you installed ADB and rename it, as recovery.img

Reboot phone and connect to pc. Open CMD in the adb folder and type: adb devices (in order to check if the pc sees your phone. If it does, you will get a number. if not, try to connect)

then type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

after that, wait till it reboots. Go to the 8th chapter for root. Download them and move them into the internal storege. REboot phone into recovery (Vol up + Vol Down +power and on vibration release the power button) and flash the files.

Are you sure that you unlocked the bootloader properly? Took the code from Huawei and passed it into your phone through adb(fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxx)?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euphoriapt:
Yup it showed "... unlocked"

If i install the firmware from this site there is a chance of put everything back like it was ??

The thing is, i don't know the last 4 digits of my phone

example:

"Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 V100R001C432B190 (Germany / Europe - Dual SIM) "
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirto82:
Since you don't know the last 4 digits, it's like you don't know what build you have. If you try to downgrade your phone (cause you might choose a former build), might not work. If you try to update to the latest version you should be ok, only if you had B550.

Try to use this file

You just have to download it and extract it. You will get a "data" folder, an intall.bat file and 2 zip files.

the 2 zips, include the SU. double click on intall and follow instructions. If you succed, your phone will boot (it might take 20 minutes or more). Then transfer the 2 zip files and flash them (1 first and 2 second).

Hello guys, and merry christmas ;-)

I was just wondering, i got a TyTN II (Kaiser) recently, but it was bought in france, so im kinda stuck with french language.

I want to update the phone, to english or norwegian language. I know the warranty will be lost, but the phone is useless for me now anyway. I have been searching alot on the forum, but i cant seem to find an english rom i could use.

Do i use the Hard SPL to unlock the CID, and then flash the phone with a WM6 english rom?

All i want, is to get english language on the phone. Could i install Duttys rom? (Dutty's DualTouch Dial OEM Package)

Thanks for a great forum and work guys!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] elroy944:
yeah i'm even willing to pay for this software to use an english stable version with dutch language
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jychan28:
I agree with the #1 post. It is always better just flash it with the whatever language ROM that you want instead of monkey around the files of an existing ROM. If it is just a matter of modifying a few files, the following scenario will not happen.

There is no (HTC) official Chinese phone sold in US, in fact it is damn difficult to find any HTC phone in U.S. phone stores. There is no official Simplified Chinese HTC Kaiser ever made. HTC is a Taiwanese company and they make Traditional Chinese HTC Kaiser plus other European languages Kaiser. Check their web site, there is no U.S. sales/service offices.

I normally get a phone in Hong Kong and flash it with English ROM and install a Chinese system which can read both type of Chinese characters.

So replace the ROM is the best way to go. This forum have enough info for how to do it. (Of course, you have to unlock your phone first).:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ruffruff:
i totally agrees and i am using the same method at the moment. using a cooked english rom and add in applications and fonts to support read/write chinese.

but when i was using asus p525 & p535, i understand from the cookers that they extract mui files from simplified chinese wm6 image and port it into the english rom. so i believe there might be a way to do a cab installation files with the require languages files and it can be installed onto the device. taken into consideration that our kaiser has abundent rom storage space, installing this mui package shouldnt be much of a problem.

anyway, this is just my thoughts, i am no cooker nor expert, hehe. so it will still takes a real expert to work out this mui installation cab. :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zegovernator:
Hi guys, so I seem to have scewed up my phone quite badly. I tried to deodex running the new nougat firmware (with drm-fix and ric-off) by flashing a zip in the nougat firmware thread. Somehow I ended up with not being able to fastboot anymore.

I found out that my bootloader seems to be locked again. Thus I am not able to approach the fastboot mode, but failed to do any flash, as it says [FAILED (remote: not allowed)].

I checked the service menu and found the [Bootloader unlock allowed:no] and [Remote Lock State: Locked] after reflashing the nougat firmware.

So I wanted to unlock the device, how ever I ended up with flashing back to Lollipop and the device boots and then power off after a few seconds of use.

Could this due to "remote lock state: not allowed"?
