So the cream is being added to the Oreo biscuits secretly :fingers-crossed:

:highfive:
[HTC One Mini 2] mrabominable:
So I've been using this rom for a week now, not a single crash. Works smooth compared to stock. Only downside i had with it is that it reacts to tilting really agressively but with portrait mode on its not a big problem. What really surprised me is that i can see a slight picture quality improvement. Overall this is the best rom alternative I've tried for this phone so far, you did a great job. Highly recommend it. Cheers.:cool:
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
:good: Im sensing a release is juat around the corner :cool:
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
Since there is no device officially declared as "stable" with LOS 15.1 right now I'd rather suspect that there is still some work to do. Beside that great to see that the probably most frustrating work until first boot is done ;)

Btw. merged the 0.7 changes into my build yesterday, works smooth as always :)
[HTC One Mini 2] nightcore500:
There's still a lot to do :)

Since LOS 15.1 is still in an early stage of development, some workarounds are needed to be able to compile. Apart from that, Bluetooth HAL, NFC HAL, Wifi, Stagefright and some proprietary services still cause problems. But we've come a lot closer to LOS 15.1. :)
[HTC One Mini 2] Revori:
First of all: Thanks for your great work! I've searched a longtime for an ROM for the mini 2.

So my Question: Is it possible to update from 0.5v to the newest 0.7v without resting everything?

best regards :)
[HTC One Mini 2] nightcore500:
You don't need a full wipe. But a wipe of the cache, Dalvik cache is recommended. Has no influence on your settings or installed apps
[HTC One Mini 2] Revori:
Worked perfectly thanks!

Now I also can report, that a bug is still brothering me with the new version: Adaptive Brightness. When I use it in complete darkness and lock the screen, it wont turn back on. I guess it's "On" put with zero brightness so I cant see anything. Then I have to turn the sensor to a light bulb, and the screen starts to be visible. May be your device also shows this behavior?

Hopefully this helps you with your development.

best regards
[HTC One Mini 2] HandyBesitzer:
did you change anything regarding blue tooth or car connection [MENTION=7570463]nightcore500[/MENTION]?? Because spotify doesn't work properly in my car anymore. But since the last time it worked there was an update for the car, LOS and spotify app. So i don't know who causes the problems.
[HTC One Mini 2] userx404:
The touchscreen bug also exists in 0.7. Can anybody confirm?
[HTC One Mini 2] Silver-HaOS:
"The touchscreen bug also exists in 0.7. Can anybody confirm?"

No bugs. Excellent ROM!!! Thanks, nightcore500 !
[HTC One Mini 2] DarkHeart92:
I do not know the reason. But stopped working (usb), and the second began to lose contact. We checked one more, it works well and does not lose contact.

All this happened a couple of days ago, the update itself was delivered on the day of the release.

Sorry for my bad English:o
[HTC One Mini 2] hunt3rdbe:
I updated from 8/7/2017 to 20/1/2018 and noticed that the brightness slider no longer has the same levels ie it's brighter on the same position than before and all the way off is brighter

I have the automatic brightness etc switched off
[HTC One Mini 2] cyberbix:
Yes. I can confirm the lockscreen bug appearing sporadically. But take a look at LOS for Samsung devices, same there, it´s not HTC One Mini 2 specific.
[HTC One Mini 2] Andruxcx:
Something is terribly wrong with the ram management particularly when using snapchat to open a chat window it takes about 2minutes when it should be open in a second. Everything non ram heavy seems fine. Also a few updates back it was a bit better. The rom wasn't as stable but it handled better. I have little patience when it comes to technology hanging. So pls fix
[HTC One Mini 2] mrabominable:
Ran into some troubles

Hello there, ive been using the rom for quite some time now, everything was working fine until yesterday. I had around 50% of the battery left but when i was having a call it sudenly turned off. Pluged it to charge but what ive got was an empty battery charging logo and developer build warning that didnt change. So ive left it for a good couple of hours and tried tried holding down both volume buttons and power, it turned on and fully charged afterwards. Today same thing happened, but not at the same baterry percentage and not while having a call. Maybe someone had the same problem? Is it related to ROM or is it the hardwares fault?
[HTC One Mini 2] userx404:
Never had such problems with this device but i know such behavior from my old Phone. I sounds to me like the battery is dies.
[HTC One Mini 2] HandyBesitzer:
The developer build warning is normal while using custom roms. It should be shown on booting, too. But that the phone crashes because of low battery although there was over 50% left, never happend to me. Seams to be a hardware fault. As far as i remember there is a way to recalibrate the icon. First you need to wipe the battery stats, next fully load, fully unload and fully load again as far as i remember. Maybe someone else here knows how to do it. That way the percentage should be more accurate.
[HTC One Mini 2] userx404:
How about the actual state? I think anyone here is nosey about your progress. ;)
[HTC One Mini 2] huub382:
i am very qurious to but, at this time V0.7 is very stable. And i don't know if i wood update to 15.1 soon.

Thank you Nightcore for this stable version.

Some important issues that I notice

This below isn't correct anymore. See my latest post on next site.

1. Screenlock / Wakeup Problems:

occurence: Sometimes (~35%) after display lock, unlocking does not work.

hint: Govenor terms?

2. General huge loading lags (Activitys/Fragments):

occurence: Everywhere.

hint: Deactivated animations, does not improve.

aside: Activating force GPU rendering seemd to improve something.

A hardware issue?

Cartok
[HTC One Mini 2] userx404:
Thanks for the 'force GPU' advice.

Seems to run smoother. Did you notice an increasing power consumption due to this setting?
[HTC One Mini 2] Curaik:
at (2) maybe it's just the touchscreen control
[HTC One Mini 2] Curaik:
Got it idle most of the times, so telling that i notice no difference at all could be falsy. But i guess it makes no difference, because we got SoC's.
[HTC One Mini 2] Curaik:
i was wrong with 2.

Please Notice

I did not completely disable the animations, now i did and it runs propperly.

Addition:

I'm currently validating both problems around different battery charge levels.

It would be nice to hear if anybody else got screen lock issues

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

Calls do not work, application bugs totaly. You can call, but you do not get the call app interface to control the call in any way.
[HTC One Mini 2] userx404:
I also get such behavior in the past. Pushing back-button solves that issue for me.

You also should check apps running in the background and active background processes. Kill/uninstall those you don't need.

Free RAM seems to be the magic key.

The 'force gpu' hint speeds up my device significantly. Thx for that. But in my state of view the power consumption also increased. Need to test it for several days.
[HTC One Mini 2] userx404:
With free RAM greater 110MB it would be ok
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
You can also switch the system to "Low RAM Mode". Originally designed for <=512MB devices.

setprop ro.config.low_ram=true

Needs some time to take effect (or do hot reboot). Some visuals like transparent bars in some launchers are reduced then (obvious effect) and the free memory is typically 200MB higher during normal idle. Does not affect all components and apps though.
[HTC One Mini 2] Curaik:
nothing to do with RAM i guess

I got ~300mb free RAM.

I noticed later that I didnt completely disable the animations, doing so fixes the screenlock problems!

But not the default phone app.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

I got zero problems with battery life.
[HTC One Mini 2] Curaik:
More Maojor Issues

Rendering core issues (previous posts).

Bluetooth seams not to work with some devices (haven't tested much) not detecting every device.

No controll of android phone-call application (you need to restart the phone to hang of a call).

SD-Card is not usable (at least SDXC, didn't test more).

I guess when these issues are fixed you got your first release. :D

Would be nice to know if you're still working on this. :fingers-crossed:

I Would donate if I could. :angel:
[HTC One Mini 2] nightcore500:
Good news. I found a way to deliver the more recent firmware images (Baseband, WCNSS etc.). The newer WCNSS firmware fixes the problems with the newer prima drivers (wifi). This allows us to use the latest prima drivers and should fix our wifi problems.

LOS15.1 is already usable. However, I still have problems with the camera HAL which is practically unusable. In addition, the 3-axis magnetic field sensor causes problems. So there is still work to be done.

I can't confirm your SD card problems. I use many different SDXC/SDHC cards without any problems.

I can't confirm the problems with the phone-call application either. Are you using any additional modifications? Maybe a full wipe could help.

Are the bluetooth devices definitely visible which are not displayed?

Do you currently use the low memory mode in your build? Under 15.1 I already use it (GO config). However, it feels like it has a negative impact on performance. I haven't tested it under 14.1 yet. Maybe you can give some feedback?
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
Currently no. I tried it for a about a week with 14.1, but did not persist the config in my build, cause the overall benefit was not that high .

Made the UI feel slightly more responsive, esp. starting apps (at least some) and problem-apps like the camera become responsive earlier.

The most obvious effect was no transparency effects in the top bar and launcher (Pixel Launcher), so is looked little odd with black bars on both ends of the screen. Only hard data is the amount of free memory usage which was constantly around 300MB in idle. My verdict is that it's probably not perfect for the "average user", only if one really needs memory for some apps.

"Feeled responsiveness" can also be achieved by tweaking the effect duration to 0.5 in dev setting, effect is about the same (with no impact on performance at all)
[HTC One Mini 2] HandyBesitzer:
We had WiFi Problems? :cyclops:

The only "bug" that i have the stability of multitasking. Chrome causes the most problems, specially if there is something else, such as spotify, ongoing.

Camera sometimes takes a lot of times before it actually takes the photo and while using Netflix, or Prime Video the phone call gui stucks, so you need a little longer to accept the call or sometimes it even crashes.

Maybe you can give the phone call function a higher priority so that this will ALWAYS work. No matter about other ongoing functions.

I study electrical engineering/ technical informatics, so i know about operation systems, kernel, programming. I don't have much experience with Android or java, but if you could introduce me i may be able to help you with the Kernel or Driver things.

addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip NOT working - help!

Hi there,

I have a HTC One Mini 2.

As per the instructions at the start of this thread, I have successfully done the following:

Installed TWRP 2.8.5.0 : success!

Installed lineage-14.1-20180019 : success!

Installed open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20180414 : success!

When it comes time to installing 'addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip' (checksum verified), TWRP complains of the ZIP signature being invalid. Is someone able to explain this situation or suggest an alternative rooting technique?

Many thanks
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Not sure about the version, haven't tried it, the attached version works for me, if its just rooting, might work for you too..

Although you could retry downloading the file again, might get corrupted when downloading..

Whatsapp Notifications Issue

Has anyone set Whatsapp notifications to show in status bar alone, if yes I would like to know what settings have been done in both whatsapp and system as I have tried multiple combinations but it doesnt work at all, does NOT show notifications in status bar alone, it either shows no notifications or shows with pop-up which I dislike.

I had tried and it worked once only with the following settings :

- turned off power controls in system

- turned off headsup notifications in system

- turned off all notifications settings in whatsapp

this resulted in showing the notification just in the status bar, but since the last latest LOS flash, it hasn't worked at all.

Am I missing something ?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
This issue has been resolved, there is a bug in the latest version of Whatsapp, the issue being that if vibrate option is disabled, notifications dont show in status bar.

[MENTION=7570463]nightcore500[/MENTION]

After 2 month may you give us an update?
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
I could provide builds fork. Rebased onto the official Kernel with nightcore's config, so 99% compatible.

Automatically built after the official security bulletins have been released (around 6th to 10th every month)

Only drawback, this does NOT work on the older baseband version (new wireless drivers).

Anyone interested?
[HTC One Mini 2] mahfiaz:
stkl, this is great news. How to know if my phone is the older baseband one or not?

This is my fork...

Installation Instructions, Disclaimer, Changelog:

Read the initial post.

If not stated otherwise there are no functional changes compared to nightcore500's builds. Slight Kernel changes (rebase onto the official kernel repository, new wireless drivers) and regular updates from the official LOS/AOSP sources.

No full wipe required, if you're already on a previous LOS 14.1 version.

Cant's tell this often enough: Make a backup before flashing!

I'm not responsible for any damage or data loss, use at your own risk.

Warning:

Older builds (up to 20180616) are only compatible with the (newer) baseband version 1.101.111011.20.0123_10.28.4149A.00L. Other versions might result in a boot loop.

Starting from 20180623 this should be solved.

[HTC One Mini 2] mahfiaz:
Thanks for the answer. My phone unfortunately is the older version.
[HTC One Mini 2] nightcore500:
V0.8 is here :)

The ROM now contains the latest WCNSS firmware PR1.4.c3-00196 which is loaded during the boot process instead of the WCNSS firmware which is in the device memory. This fixes the bootloops on devices with older firmware. In addition, we are now using the "newer" prima wifi driver and a newer version of ZRAM which should improve the performance a bit.
[HTC One Mini 2] mahfiaz:
Hey. This is great news. Cudos! :good:
[HTC One Mini 2] baneybo:
Installed and running OK so far. Thank you once more.

However, I had to reinstall previous Gapps open_gapps-arm-7.0-pico-20180318 because apps (Play Store, Gallery, Music) from open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180622 repeatedly crash.

* Spoke too soon - apps still crashing. Have gone back to 14.1-20180119...
[HTC One Mini 2] nightcore500:
I had the same problem on my test device. However, I could not quite find the problem because the logcat was completely normal. The lineage community confirmed to me that the problem apparently also occurred with some other devices.

After a full wipe the problem persisted. Only after formatting the internal and external storage the problem disappeared. I suspect it's a "faulty cache". If you still have the problem, I would ask you to delete the folder 'Android' in the internal and external storage and restart the device. If you have apps installed that need to download additional content, you will need to download them again.
[HTC One Mini 2] serban57:
Hello everyone. I'm new here. Did you have any plans to port android oreo go edition to this device?:confused:
[HTC One Mini 2] nightcore500:
I've been working on the LOS 15.1 port for a while now. So far the test builds are already usable. However, I still have problems with the camera HAL. Recording with the front and back camera still leads to a new_alloc_size overflow. Therefore, there are no public builds yet. However, I plan to release the first LOS 15.1 build in the coming weeks.
[HTC One Mini 2] baneybo:
OK. Thanks - I'll give that a try.
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
:good::fingers-crossed:
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
Just merged the v0.8 changes. Running without crashes so far (Gapps Micro 20180616).

USB gadgets seem to work now, at least some. Tested with USB 2.0 flash drive => OK. External camera still not detected, but I'm sure this can be solved.

NFC not working how it should

Hello,

since I'm using this ROM, the OS doesn't recognize my MIFARE Classic NFC chip cards.

Phone specifications:

LineageOS 14.1-20180621-UNOFFICIAL-memul

Baseband 1.101.111011.20.0123_10.28.4149A.00L

Kernel 3.4.113-g47507c6-05417-g909c034

Please pm me, so I can send you the logcat log.

Maybe that could help in further development.

Best regards,

AP
[HTC One Mini 2] jobayoub:
i have just insalled the rom and my phone become so laggy especially when i get a notification or when i open an app any solution ?
[HTC One Mini 2] baneybo:
Well, after many attempts I managed to get things up and running without apps freezing.

I did as suggested (deleted the Android folders), but the problem persisted. It was only after I removed my SD card that the apps stopped freezing. The card had two partitions on it, one NTFS for data and one EXT3 for my TWRP backups.

After re-partitioning the card to a singe EXFAT partition everything calmed down.

However, I then discovered that the phone refused to appear in Windows, despite many re-installs of drivers - USB, ADB etc.

So, back again on 14.1-20180119. I guess I'll wait for 15.1...

As an aside, an app (What3Words) that refused to find locations on its map on 14.1-20180119 started working without any problem on 14.1 21.06.2018. You win some you lose some...
[HTC One Mini 2] XDAFresh:
Runs very smooth & fine. Had to do a complete wipe, cause after the update initially there was no sound.

But now its fine and snappy.

Is the LOS 15 rom ready?
[HTC One Mini 2] serban57:
Hello! Is someone there?! I asked a month ago about the status of Oreo update, and nobody gives an answer.
[HTC One Mini 2] multiwirth:
The dev started working on it but i think he is very busy at the moment so we have to be patient if he will release something in the future.

Maybe the thing is dead and there will never be Oreo.

Anyways, this poor little old device might not even run that great with oreo since nougat doesn´t run great on 1GB ram and poor cpu so maybe you should get a more powerful device.
[HTC One Mini 2] serban57:
I understand that and I know that this device is old. I'm just curious about the project and his status.
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
We are in the same boat as you, be patient, the last update from developer is is Oreo works but camera fails, nothing new beyond that..
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
Wondering when first start to beg for LOS 16... Using Android 9 now over 2 months (starting from DP3 on my Pixel 2) I'd never go back to 8 from there. But let's stay serious, won't expect to see this on the Mini 2 any time soon, if ever.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work done to backort new software to old devices, but concerning the effort involved (especially for a single developer without a 10 person team around and 40hrs of paid time per week), I'd personally set my preference to an overall stable and secure LOS 14 rather than spending weeks and months of complaining about a yet unstable 15.1.
[HTC One Mini 2] Mehran82:
Hi

Do i need to wipe system partition too for installing this rom or just factory reset is enough?
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
Depends on you current ROM.

From stock, full wipe is highly recommended, as there are major changes between Android 4 and 5 (not to mention HTC branding).

From CM13 (and probably also CM12) even dirty flash works fine. (clean is always better, as it removes all old fragments, but it works)
[HTC One Mini 2] Mehran82:
Hi

I Installed the ROM and unfortunately it is not as fast as the stock ROM And Sometimes Games Crash My Free RAM is Usually 230MB.

Is there anyway to fix that problem, i have tried many things in developer options and it didn't have a significant effect.

Is the CM 13 Faster? , Is it possible to downgrade From Lineage 14.1 to CM 13?
[HTC One Mini 2] Drex-:
Laggy as hell

Hi, did u fix ur problem?

I wiped cache,data and dalvik like op suggested and the phone is laggy as hell even with force gpu on and animations off. Any idea why anyone? Thanks so much!
[HTC One Mini 2] jobayoub:

I installed gapps with aroma installer, i only installed the basics (calculator, calendar, keep, gmail, maps, yt).
[HTC One Mini 2] jobayoub:
google now luncher ? if not try to uninstall some apps
[HTC One Mini 2] Drex-:
Im using the default launcher. Why would i uninstall apps? I still have almost 3gb of free memory and most of the apps have autostartup off and are not allowed to stay in background. I have lag even if i clean up the all apps from ram. The problem is deeper than this.
[HTC One Mini 2] multiwirth:
I also have such issues with this rom.

There is something like memory leaking on this rom and many previous roms (CM11, CM12, CM13...) but since Android Nougat it´s the worst.

Back in CM11 days, the issue was already there but not noticeable but opening the camera already made problems and it didn´t went better.

I´ve reported this issue a long time ago to our developer but i think it´s not easy to do anyting since many people are happy and some have issues.

This device is a big surprise, some people had WiFi issues in the beginning of this rom, others have had issues with their touchscreen.

It seems like there are two or more revisions of the same device, making trouble everywhere.

In this case, there isn´t much to do except downgrading to CM13 since Nougat is very RAM hungry.
[HTC One Mini 2] Drex-:
Is CM13 working fine for you? Are there any issues/bugs?
[HTC One Mini 2] multiwirth:
Sorry for the delay,

CM13 will run better for sure since it doesn´t need so much ram

[HTC One Mini 2] waltbert:
How often and how long security updates for LineageOS 14.1 will happen?

Hello,

I can see the last update was in July 2018, so that's some time ago already.

Is LineageOS 14.1. really still securely and actually patched meanwhile in comparison to Google patches for Nougat 7.1.2 which should be the reference for this Lineage version?

How long LineageOS 14.1 will be updated and what will be the cicle probably to be expected for security updates?

If security updates for this version 14.1 should end is a shift to LineageOS 15.x or 16.x intended or will any further development stop for HTC One Mini 2?

Thanks a lot for more information in detail.

Regards

waltbert
