Ok, people, update was posted, good changes are:

- Hopefully fixed the biggest deal breaker for selfie whiners, front camera, however, since there are 3 different front camera models for this device, let me know if there are problems, and if so, your specific camera model;

- New media encoding libraries, should be way faster to generate encoded multimedia files - this doesn't affect pictures, only videos and audio;

- New audio and BT libraries, let me know if the problem with the watch still persists;

- Applied patch as indicated by our great friend, Raziel. People with two SIMs, let me know if SIM settings are still being messed up after reboot;

- Miracast now should be working out of the box, let me know;

Bad same thing:

- A-GPS isn't as simple as I initially imagined, I'll leave it the way it is for now, so keep it in device only mode;

ROM won't be updated over next days, since I'll go back to MIUI looking to find out some things that are still bothering me related to AGPS and Power. Anyways, let me know if you have problems.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] jacoghi:
Ok, guys, I just had a shed of light brightening me up and found the reason for our AGPS not working, which is kind of an issue... So for this, I would like to get your opinions...

The AGPS module depends on the proprietary wifi module, which we don't have anymore. The reason for that being is that you can't use the proprietary wifi module using a kernel built from source... So, the two options are:

1) Go ahead the way we are, High accuracy and battery saving modes will NEVER work properly on CM13, but we can change our kernel at will and change things like fixing the front camera... (sure this is correct on stock camera, was messed up on sources released by Xiaomi)

2) Use the stock kernel from Xiaomi, which will work with AGPS perfectly, but we'll be stranded with that kernel for the rest of the days.

I personally don't use high accuracy as I already said many times, anyways, I'd like to get your opinion on this.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Razziell:
Maybe I do not understand something, but why not use it https://github.com/markw-dev/androi...mmit/3f441ef3f0ea1d66bd4a2a1b9a3cf91987154227 ?

P.S. Is it worth waiting for your current source at Github?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] jacoghi:
The open source wlan drivers don't contain instructions to communicate with the lowi server, my friend, it just will never work. The only module with those instructions is the one that comes from stock, which only works with the kernel it was compiled with. So an open source driver will never work.

I'm too lazy for git, my friend, find it attached. Kernel is stock, pronto drivers and fixes for cpusets (which is now completely disabled on my build, phone loses performance like hell).
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Razziell:
My ROM
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] jacoghi:
That's the hardware GPS, my friend. AGPS is the assisted one, that uses Wifi and RIL, nothing to do with that.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Razziell:
If works so well, why suffer? Agps need for more initial quick search.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] jacoghi:
There are some services that only work with Google Location History, which uses the assisted GPS. It's a matter of having a fully working rom just like MIUI with no bottlenecks and without the Chinese bloat.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] cimdrap:
I think that this is the best option for now. We could still use the buil.prop line to get camera working... Am i right?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] asfethan:
If you are interested in my opinion, I think it's better to go with OSS with benefits like updates, fixes, customization.

Personaly I never use high accuracy mode and also I don't like to participiate in networks scanning.

BUT.

I don't know if is it related to kernel or libs, or whatever but I have lags when I'm taking photos.

This lag can be described as ability to shake-blur photo after you press shutter because photo isn't taken immediately (there is mentioned lag).

I have this issue with every camera application I can try. I had this issue also on Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 with CM13 and it wasn't present on MIUI ROM.

I was suspecting need of some proprietary stuff which stock ROM/kernel has and CM hasn't.

If msdx321's ROM has stock kernel then I assume it's some proprietary stuff again because I didn't have such issues (tried only with camera app present in that rom).

And well if we sum all of this, for me it's still about 50 : 50 - proprietary : oss, so I am pretty undecided.

If there is way to fix the camera without proprietary blob, I'll definitely vote for oss no matter in what state will be that location stuff.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] jacoghi:
Camera is fixed in Stock kernel, the released sources have a bug on them, which caused the upside down effect. This was corrected and no changes are necessary anymore in build prop. Regardless of choice, camera will work just fine.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] cimdrap:
Another reason to stay qith stock kernel (everything would work). What should it be the advantage using a custom kernel over the stock now? Anyway the normal GPS should be enough in the 99% of cases... I don't know which app needs only AGPS. Is it so important?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] jacoghi:
Msdxs used his own kernel, same one that people are using out there. However, that camera was horrible, the video had colors all messed up exactly because of all the so called fixes and updates (not so much in this case... ) which was actually the reason I started working on this. When are you specifically experimenting lags with camera? Try this new build and maybe use Google camera and let me know specifically when it happens, if it still happens.

And please everyone... If you use xposed, other kernels, or any other changes, don't waste your fingertips and/or my eye sight... Seriously, it's annoying...

Cimdrap, many modules from the rom are built using the kernel headers, so it kinda guarantees more compatibility with the rom... Using stock pre-built everything works, but doesn't mean it works super well, you know? Rom can actually get slower and clumsy.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] ciku720:
I vote for custom kernel. I believe it can be developed to be a fully-working thing with a long list of benefits over the stock one. It just needs time and a lot of thinking ;)

GPS is working fine on my phone, I haven't tried Agps because I DON'T NEED TO. The only annoying bug was the flipped camera but now it's fixed.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] oaid:
I prefer the open source kernel, because it's modifiable.

But for those who'd rather use the other kernel, would it be possible to provide it as a separate flashable zip?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] jacoghi:
Nope, it's one or the other, it's a compromise solution.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] oaid:
More advantages in going with the open-source one, I'm sure a fix for agps will come along, eventually.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] dels07:
IMHO, we should go with OSS kernel, it would be easier to fix things, adding tweaks or built custom kernel for specific purposes.

And who knows maybe we could get fix for AGPS from other similar devices (RN4 Pro/Zenfone 3/Moto Z Play) or xiaomi fix the kernel source (which likely not)
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Razziell:
Can you put out some urgent details of your source?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] kmrazon:
Would u please change the file hosting "depositefile" to others.. It is too much annoying and speedless server. If u don't mind I prefer Mega, Yandex, Google drive. It would be more easy for downloading your content without any harrasement. Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] asfethan:
I don't use Xposed or any other modification except supersu. Please forget that camera thing, I examined photos which I took and they have shutter speed about 1/12-1/30s. Sorry for bothering you with this ****.

I'll try that bluetooth stuff and if I remebemer correctly I saw something about that dual sim issue so I'll check it too. Btw did you update the link? I see only old 04/27 link on first page. Thanks.

I remember not to ask for mirror.

Bluetooth, camera, video, and everything working good. A bit more laggish feeling from the phone... Is it an impression?

I prefer the modified kernel. We'll wait more for a final completely stable build.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] bluedimensional123:
hey,

i hope this is a good place for this. let me know. I posted in Viper thread and TWRP. I'm desperately seeking answers because I'm stuck now with low functionality and trouble restoring system image... Read on...

i have Viper10 4.4.0, and i have a 128gb MicroSD card as internal storage. Well this card just bit the dust, i lost everything on it. That's ok cus it was backed up, but I am still having problems, so i am guessing the Viper ROM / system doesnt like that the card is gone. it's corrupted i suppose.*

Before i bought a replacement card, i tried using my camera. "please insert an SD card" - so it couldnt adapt to the card being gone? there were other similar things but thats a good example. So i bought another card, class 3, so its fast. i formatted it as internal storage, and still got the same message in the camera!

Another example is I cannot download anything in Chrome - whether I have no card, new card as internal storage, or new card as removable storage - none of those will work.

So i thought it must be time to restore TWRP that system image i made while back. i pasted my backup onto the SD card, went to TWRP to restore, and TWRP didn't even see any files on the card. So, i reformatted to removable storage, pasted, went to TWRP. did restore > my system backup. It said "select partition" but it didnt allow me to select anything, nor did it initially show anything selected. so the backup initiates but stops and complains "no partition selected."

can you advise me at all? is the system image restore what i need to do, and if so, what do i do about the partition selection?

Any other ways I can get back to stock?

thanks!

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboy2000:
As the title suggests, has anyone flashed the Dolby Atmos zip file floating about the net? As we have stereo speakers how does it sound? It sounds great on the ZTE Axon 7.

Also has anyone applied the root file explorer tweak to pretend the the Moto X is a Daydream ready handset? What's it like? Do the games run ok when paired to a Daydream controller emulator on another phone?

All the Daydream ready handsets are 5.5" screens. Our phone seems perfect with a 2K 5.7" screen and LCD panel (less SDE).

Thank you!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] varxtis:
I just got the Galaxy S8 Plus and there is an option to unlock to home screen using home button.

"a feature that skips the lock screen after a hard press on the home button.

Settings > Display > Navigation bar. Enable Unlock with Home button."

I'd like to set Tasker to enable this feature when connected to my WiFi Network "SSID", and disable when disconnected. I've setup up the State, but I can't figure out the path for the task. Does anyone have some ideas?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] ratbags:
I notice that the double click of the power button still opens the camera in nougat and now there doesn't seem to be a way to switch it off. I've accidentally triggered this twice, hit home to close camera, then pressed the power button to switch off. Soon after on both occasions the phone has partially rebooted in my pocket, sticking on the Wiley fox boot logo.

Anybody else confirm this behaviour? Not something you do everyday I guess......
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] dryhte:
Hi Ratbags, I tried it for you... I never noticed that tapping the power button twice starts the camera, but indeed it does; however my phone didn't reboot (so it also didn't get stuck).
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] Stocky86:
Hallo ratbags, i can confirm this behaviour in my Swift 2 Plus with Nougat Android. Noticed that randoms reboots some while ago and with your hint about power double click i am able to reproduce it.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] naegi:
To switch it off

Go to parameters

Use the search option and search gestures

Click on Gestures and then you'll find the option you are looking for
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] ratbags:
Thanks for that. I believe Wiley fox are bringing out an update to fix this issue. Strange you can only get to that setting by searching or is it hidden away somewhere deep in a settings submenu?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] naegi:
I didn't find it anywhere else so I think it's hidden

There's others hidden menu (and some are not even working at all - like battery percentage). I think that it's the trace of some modifications of parameters that weren't done correctly, or those parameters were disabled because the option didn't work well.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] Stocky86:
With latest update Build no. TOS118C the Gestures are available in Options Menu. The "not quite random reboot" seems to befixed too. Tested it several times and got no reboot since 3 hours.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] bassjunkieuk:
Was just scanning the forum for any reports of random reboots as I've also been having reboots and it hanging on the white WileyFox logo screen.

Have noticed it more since the more recent official updates and have even gone so far as a full factory reset, however, I've had the issue reoccur several times since then (reset done earlier in week) so will be interesting to see if disabling that camera gesture will help :)

Beyond that I'm thinking possibly a corrupt or "worn" SD Card as I have a MicroSD card, used to extend the internal storage, that I think I used for a year or so in my previously Swift so possibly suffering some mild wear....

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] j_wiley68:
Hey Y'all,

I'm kinda new around here, but I've been lurking and reading; absorbing everything I can. Here's my case:

I have an ATT-branded M7 that I'm quite attached to. I bought it used a little over a year ago when I was on Cricket. Needless to say I didn't need to make any changes for the phone to work just fine on that network. I moved to T-mobile a couple of months ago, and of course had ATT unlock my phone; and although the phone works really well in town, I live out a ways, and so the slight incompatibility between ATT and TMob creates issues, not to mention the embedded Hotspot/Tethering block.

If I understand right, after ROOT, I can install the Cell Radio files in my phone so that I can pick up ALL of TMob's frequencies. I understand the ROOT process pretty well, since I've been studying on it awhile. My question is, would it be smarter to settle on a ROM FIRST, then once I get one I like, deal with the Radio after?

Thanks in advance for the assistance......

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] n30phyte:
They sounds great to my ears. They are a bit heavy, almost had them slide off my head a few times with minor but quick motion (don't bend over with them on without care). They feel like quality cans to me. My only gripe, especially had I paid retail price, is the carry case. They only included a black cloth bag, it feels like the material my stretchy winter shell is made from. I would have preferred a hard case to keep them safer in a backpack.
