Install foxy kernel (https://xdaforums.com/wileyfox-swift/development/kernel-foxy-v0-65-t3363288), should work.

No need to install the older version again imho.
[Wileyfox Swift] wowi63:
Hello,

maybe i have the problems oft he lacking icons because of my slow micro-SD-Card.

When i installed Android 7 (after CyanogenOS) and LOS i mounted it not the mobile way. I hope you can understand - i mounted it like an internal common drive.

Both OSses complained, that this SD-Card is slow and i should get an Sandisk -it is a Sandisk. ;)

So after i copied some MP3-files and installed some maps for OSMAnd, LOS moved the datas and apps to the mSD-Card.

It is an Sandisk extreme class 10.

Yesterday i installed Androbench, which shows the speed of the mSD-card.

Sequential read 22,2 MB/S, write 15,8 MB/s, Random read 4,1 MB/s, 1060 IOPS, write 1,7 MB/s, 429 IOPS.

Checking the Sandisk in the noteboot with jehova 8.1 and CrystalDriveMark the speed was half faster.

mSD-cards like Samsung microSDXC EVO Plus (2017) or SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I U3/Class 10 are much faster, nearly double.

So maybe the cardreader in the Swift is slow?

I heard, while mounting the mSD-Card as internal common drive, the datas are encrypted - so maybe the Swift was to slow to decrypt the data.

So maybe LOS got the informations of the apps not fast enough, when the Swift was booting.

I mounted the mSD-Card now as external drive - will be watching it.

Greets,

Wolfgang

Updated 20170731 with foxy-1.04.N-crackling kernel to 20170708 and could also not use touchscreen at the login. Back to 20170731 and the touchscreen and system work again.

(Bug reminds of that one colour temperature app, can't remember the name, that puts a coloured layer on top and had to be disabled to activate the OK button on app installations.)

Nightly 2017-09-11: No problems so far… :)
[Wileyfox Swift] tuda223:
In my case it's lagging as hell. I also had this problem with prior versions of the ROM. My solution was to flash foxy-Kernel, after that it works fine.
[Wileyfox Swift] killerbees19:
September security patches are included in nightly 2017-09-18! :laugh:

But I can't test it atm. Feedback from other users would be great.

For me it's still lagging if I don't flash foxy kernel.

Hi,

i am facing more often reboots on Swift 1 with LOS 170918, Gapps Pico and Foxy 2.7. There is no defined reason recognizable, happens even when lockerd. Before build from August did not show this.

BR

wkn
[Wileyfox Swift] Smiff3:
can anyone recommend me a nice stable build without too many issues please? ta v much
[Wileyfox Swift] wkn000:
Testing LOS builds 170918 and 170025 without flashing Foxy Kernel 2.7 works fine without any reboot issues for two days now.

[MENTION=8570784]Smiff3[/MENTION]: Mostly every new build is a little bit more stable than the one before, but issues could happens all the time. There are no stable or snapshot builds with LOS as with CM. So make a backup in TWRP before flashing new LOS build and try latest build from today.
[Wileyfox Swift] killerbees19:
Nightly 2017-09-25 runs smoothly atm… :)
[Wileyfox Swift] alt-tabtab:
Thank you for continuing the nightlies.

In 20170911 and 20170918 my openvpn client only worked when hotspot was enabled. Disabling hotspot disconnected the vpn and would not reconnect without hotspot. Solved in 20170925 here. Thanks :)
[Wileyfox Swift] Smiff3:
thanks, stability is key. the phone reboots sometimes using gmaps on official 5.x and 6.x . official 7.x is noticeably slower. is this smoother than official 7.x? have any cool features like the dusk tinting been re-added? ta
[Wileyfox Swift] wkn000:
LOS is mostly very stable and also very responsive on my Swift. If an update does anyhow not work, i will recover my backup taken before in TWRP. For functionallity from original software missing, i couldn't tell you. It was only a few days last year since i changed to CM and now to LOS wit the first build came out. I am using LOS crackling 170925 and GApps Pico on my phone and only a handful of Apps installed.
[Wileyfox Swift] tuda223:
I just updated to yesterday's version. Runs very smooth and I think I don't have to flash foxy kernel this time.

Thx for all the effort you put into this!

We have got the October 5 security patch level. Adaptive brightness works differently. It goes to minimum brightness in a dark environment, for me it is too dark. And it adapts slower than before.

20171120 seems to have an issue with wifi-hotspot. Menu shows clients are connected but the clients hang trying to connect to the phone. Going back to 20171106 solved it.

Nightly 2017-11-20 after some days uptime: Bluescreen with flackering white/black line at the top. Power button still works, power-button-shortcut for "LED on" too, but I couldn't see anything on screen! Cold reboot fixed it for now.

I'll switch to the latest build tomorrow…
[Wileyfox Swift] duplicationcube:
Does anyone else have camera issues when using LOS? Do I have outdated drivers or something? The picture quality just seems terrible compared to how it was on the original stock rom. HDR is also very very slow and often makes the camera app crash.

Anyone else a Problem with Sim Card? I habe to restart very often cause the phine means "theres's no Sim Card, please restart."
[Wileyfox Swift] g1b13t5:
I've been using this ROM for months, and found it reliable for most of the last half of 2017. I really appreciate the hard work that's gone into this, thank you devs!

I don't know if this ROM is being actively developed, but I wanted to bring this bug to the attention of the developers, since it seems to have been overlooked:

https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/REGRESSION-926

TLDR: Bluetooth MAC address is reset on every (re)boot, so the phone has to be re-paired with bluetooth devices such as car head units. I realise that this *might* some sort of security feature, but it's really very annoying, and it is a regression from earlier CM/COS builds for Swift/Crackling.

If anyone knows of a method to persistently set the Bluetooth MAC address on Crackling LOS 14.1, please let me know!
[Wileyfox Swift] Bastlwastl2010:
Can confirm this bug, buts it seems nobody look in....
[Wileyfox Swift] g1b13t5:
I've been poking around in adb shell trying to get my head around the bluetooth bug.

Have updated the bug report with a bit more information. Documentation for configuring Bluetooth under Android appears very lacking, and I'm pretty much out of ideas as to how to fix the configuration.
[Wileyfox Swift] Bastlwastl2010:
Enable the maintainer the BLE Privacy feature in our rom?

* Toggles support for general LE privacy features such as remote address
* resolution, local address rotation etc.
*/

#ifndef BLE_PRIVACY_SPT
-#define BLE_PRIVACY_SPT TRUE
+#define BLE_PRIVACY_SPT FLASE
#endif

We need somone who looks in the code
[Wileyfox Swift] g1b13t5:
I've been poking around and found that too. Have added a couple of comments on the bug report.
[Wileyfox Swift] Bastlwastl2010:
I just google in some german forums and found the following:

People have the same BT trouble with original TOS111B firmware

Dimitri say in the regression tracker the failure exits since 06.19 build

Lineage have update the blobs to TOS111B firmware at 06.13

The last build without trouble is 06.12

I can only oracle: The new blobs from the TOS111B fimrware are the problem ???

Edit: I dont have the knowledge which files are the right for WIFI/BT but, if someone know he can make a flashable zip from the old CM13 blos.

And we can play around with these and see what is going on.

Its all in https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_wileyfox/

included the old CM13 branch
[Wileyfox Swift] almodovaris:
If you want to compile an unofficial build, after repo sync you change it as you wish. You'll need e.g. Ubuntu x64 with about 500 GB total space on the partition. You'll have to format /data if you switch between official and unofficial.
[Wileyfox Swift] Bastlwastl2010:
Ok Guys..........

the good thing on open source is you can read a lot and many things are documented, sometimes (allways?) a little bit hidden:

According to this:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/proprietary_blobs.html

and then this

https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_wileyfox_crackling/blob/cm-14.1/proprietary-files.txt

The BT blobs are

# Bluetooth
bin/btnvtool
bin/hci_qcomm_init
vendor/lib64/libbtnv.so

I download the proprietary CM13 crackling files from here

https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_wileyfox/tree/cm-13.0

Then substitute the three files with the CM13 files (root requierd)

Reboot, BT MAC is the same as before, reboot again, BT MAC is still the same

Make a Bt connection with my tablet, works, send a file works.

Reboot again BT connection established from allone (Happy)

Cant test it know with my car BT (Where i have the problem)

But tommorow i can say more.

In conclusion i think there is a failure in the android 7 blobs from willyfox.

And i dont if there now other failures on other sides

Only reproduce this if you know what you do!

No support
[Wileyfox Swift] g1b13t5:
See, I'd have found that if the information was out there in English! :laugh:

Thanks!

I've found that reverting just the library (vendor/lib64/libbtnv.so) is sufficient to stop Bluetooth address randomisation.

The version I used can be found at

https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_wileyfox/blob/8243438a23b399258eb76110699a7cfdcb8a2576/crackling/proprietary/vendor/lib64/libbtnv.so

.

I'm wondering if there's a newer version of the library in the repo for another device with the same Qualcomm chipset (or in a newer Wileyfox build).
[Wileyfox Swift] g1b13t5:
Bluetooth (re)pairing with my Garmin car head unit confirmed working with the older Qualcomm bluetooth library `/vendor/lib64/libbtnv.so`. :D

I tried a newer version of the library blob for the Motorola Harpia - phone boots up ok, but with a generic address, so I guess a genuine Wileyfox Swift blob would be needed, and that might still have the unwanted BT address randomisation feature.
[Wileyfox Swift] Bastlwastl2010:
Awesome!

No problems on reconnect after reboot on my car BT.
[MENTION=8830384]g1b13t5[/MENTION]

Do you post our findings in the regression tracker?

To All who want to do the same:

You must build a flashable zip with the vendor/lib64/libbtnv.so file and immediately flash it

after you flash a new LOS version. If you boot with the original blobs, your MAC is changed!
[Wileyfox Swift] g1b13t5:
I was going to wait until we're happy with the solution and then document it on JIRA.

I wrote the file to the phone using adb, code as follows:

# Download the older version of the Bluetooth library (libbtnv.so)
wget https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_wileyfox/raw/8243438a23b399258eb76110699a7cfdcb8a2576/crackling/proprietary/vendor/lib64/libbtnv.so

# Root required for the next three commands
adb root
# Check the current BT address (optional)
adb shell 'head /data/misc/bluedroid/bt_config.conf'
# Make filesystem writeable
adb shell 'mount -o rw,remount /system'
# Push the older BT library to phone
adb push libbtnv.so '/vendor/lib64/libbtnv.so'
# Make it so
adb reboot

For those on Linux with adb set up, that's probably simpler than creating a flashable zip.

[MENTION=8830384]g1b13t5[/MENTION] I am delighted to say that the above bluetooth fix is working beautifully on beroid's Wileyfox crackling [ROM][OREO] crDroid Android 4.0 Beta [15 Jan] . I have tested across reboots since yesterday and the bluetooth is finally reliable again. For the record, my car is a seat ibiza. Phone & audio good. Thankyou to all who contributed to this.

[MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION] I used your zip - could have done it the adb way, but now no need! Thank you (again). :)

Hi, managed to update my Swift1 to Lineage 14.1 eventually. After flashing the latest TWRP following the instructions on the other thread and then the latest official nightly and gapps my phone would only boot into TWRP or fastboot however. I had to also flash a version of fastboot here

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862696687 from TWRP before it would boot into the actual Lineage 14.1 OS.

This was coming from a previously completely stock Swift1 with the latest official 7.1.2 Wileyfox update with January security update.

Thanks for all the help here:good:
[Wileyfox Swift] Bastlwastl2010:
I am not sure but if i think i remember this is the problem.

I think you must come from the latest offical cyanogen Version cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling

Nightly 2018-03-14 after upgrading from an old 2017-11-** build...

Everything was fine until the phone startet a crazy loop with lockscreen and blackscreen after 1-2 minutes uptime. It changed every 2-3 seconds, without a way to unlock it. Shutdown menu was still usable, standby mode too.

After a reboot everything is OK again, but it reset my wallpaper to the default Android image! :confused:

APTX latency >500msec

I have testet LINEAGEOS 14.1 and have a latency of 500-700msec over Bluetooth with aptx.

I have a receiver with APTX Low Latency.

Is there a possibility to add this codec to the lineageOS?

I didn't find any device since the Monster M7 Tablet to support this codec.

I would like to use the microphone of the smartphone as wireless microphone and therefore need a latency of ca. 30 msec.

Would you believe it LineageOS have now moved on to "pie" 16.0 though there are still some commits for 15.1. To answer the above question there will be no 15.1 until a maintainer has a WileyFox Swift (Crackling) phone.

[MENTION=3839575]mikeioannina[/MENTION] : Nice to see someone can maintain crackling. I can pay shipping, and I'm from France. It was my girlfriend's one, she's got a new phone, and I already have a Swift, which I would like to keep as long as possible, that's why I'm ready to give one.

He's already listed as the new maintainer for 15.1 crackling in this entry, so I think I could securely send him the device, if he answers me and gives me his address.
[Wileyfox Swift] robin0800:
Yes I agree it seems he has three names mikeNG mikeioannina and Michael Bestas it was the latter I messaged

I have messaged him again to ask that he sends you a shipping address.

I haven’t had COS for a whole while, so I suppose I might be not up-to-date there. Still, it works perfectly for CM13, and even for the Lineage+CM13-Data (which I find most confusing...)

Is there an archive somewhere? On the TWRP website I only found the 3.0.3 and the 3.0.0. The latter doesn’t work for me, as it’s unable to handle my encrypted data partition — which could also be origin of the problem, of course. However, at the moment I don’t have the time to deal with backing up internal storage and reinstalling again.
