Excited to see hopes rising for lineage!

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

I was never in that dilemma. P2 always seemed like a better choice. But now, the prices have come down to 13k(3gb) and 15k(4gb) and it has just become much sweeter. I've recently ordered the p2 and I would wholeheartedly suggest you the same!
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Javed ali:
Can we get any official developments for Lenovo P2 in the future. For very stable ROMs like linage os.mokee ROM or RR ROM
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Siva Mk:
Is Mike gonna start from scratch or take up maintainer position of current ROMs?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kevindiepenmaat:
I think from a clean base source and start from there.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senseijtitus:
Hi Mike,

Hope u are doing good. Wanted to ask you something about Lenovo p2 lineage is 14.1 if you don't mind.

Is it possible to add fingerprint gesture like that of stock ROM in lineage is so that we can avoid using on screen NAV bar or third party apps(which frankly are not giving a good experience) ?

Thanks. :good:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Fingerprint gesture? The tapping on the fingerprint sensor or are there other gestures I've missed?

What we really need is a working Hotspot mode, never been available on a N/7 ROM AFAIK?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senseijtitus:
Fp gestures like that on stock ROM. Single tap= back, long press= recent and hard press for home. But if customisation is available can add swipe left, right, down and up as well for different actions like notification pulldown, open ok Google or any other.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Agreed, some MM/6 ROMs had that, I'd prefer a push to go Recent rather than Google as a long press can be tricky!
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wmateria:
Prefer to wait until Mike comes around before requesting anything, otherwise am sure that the future development of this phone will be great this sooner or soon. :good:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Siva Mk:
I wonder why everyone is spamming this thread with gestures. Give Mike some space. Let him solve the known bugs first!

Even with gestures enabled if the ROM is not bug free, then you ppl would still complain.

So give some time and keep the thread to the topic.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senseijtitus:
Only led notification and WiFi tethering are left are real bugs.

There are work oround for notification bugs with apps which do work. For fp gesture on the other hand, available apps are not good. This is the reason. And more than that, we don't know if there is a bug with fp gestures since lineage does not seem to have an option in settings to enable them.

You s e, we are not trying to make any disturbance for Mike or spam the thread. We just want to point out some defects in the lineage source which Mike would be able to address.

This will not only help us p2 users. But other users using other handsets with fp sensors as well.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thread cleaned up.

Please stay civil and stay respectful to each other.

Dont behave childishly.

Now lets stay on topic and focus on further development, shall we?

No, volume regulation with slider during call and with headphones does not work. Video camera randomly stops working and records only the first frame while the audio is correctly recorded.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] vivo75:
Sorry for the OT but does anyone know if RAW photo is supported by this rom?

The sensor seem to be a sony IMX238 and other phones can shoot raw.

In case it's not yet supported would be difficult to do it/where should I start?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZappLegend:
Best thread ever. Feels like this could be made into a great movie :)

"Two developers work against all odds to bring to their people the thing they desire most..."

10/10 would watch.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] micbanand:
waw great reading.

Thinking of buying the device.

But I need ant+ is this supported by this device?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
ANT+ is a simple software implementation. Where ever Bluetooth is supported ANT+ will work too. ANT+ was/is enabled by default for all CM/LOS ROM builds.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] micbanand:
it is not working on my Elephone p8000

they never could solve it. on the 5.1 source??
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitkumar.in:
Recently bought n updated to Android 7. What bothers me big time is the issue that I'm facing – I'm in Skype/imo talking n turn off the display n boom!!! The Skype/imo shuts down n reboots only when I wake screen back up and make call again! Is this why I chose P2 over Xiaomi Note 4???!!!!

Note - I've already updated all apps n rebooted into recovery cleared cache etc. But nothing seem to fix this issue!!!
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] solazz:
Did it really work with Redmi Note 4? Btw, you can try lock the app in memory, disable battery Optimization for the mentioned app n ensure that the app is allowed to run in background in the power manager settings.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Javed ali:
Please can any one answer my question.will we get official linage os in the future. OR any official ROm like mokee.RR like official ROM. OR We have to satisfied with Lenovo 7.0 only
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wmateria:
If you read this thread, most likely it will.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
//Offtopic

It's really sad... -.- It seems to me nowadays people no longer read a thread. They simply post questions and expect others who have actual read the thread to post a reply. Letting others do the work for them.

In the German language we call those people the "Weichei Generation".

There is no real English term for it. But I can be compared to the "generation Y" who were raised by helicopter parenting. Their parents would do all the work for them.

//Ontopic

Don't expect Official builds to hit anywhere during the Summer season. Usually we dev's keep our desk chairs warm when it's getting colder outside.

However, work is been done. Just nothing worth mentioning yet.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wmateria:
All of these threads don't really have that many pages to read through. Perhaps we need an Audiobook haha. (Jokingly) :laugh: and most likely this thread continues.. gosh...but hey.. least i tried to damage control. :silly: Just make them read the whole thread. On that note.. until next year fellow Senior Members, Junior Members, good luck to the Developers. :highfive:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] davidnotcoulthard:
TBH I'll admit to thinking that 13 pages is a lot to have to catch up to
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nihil39:
Maybe we could write a short summary in the first post with the current state of development.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wmateria:
13 pages is nothing. Try 70. :cool:

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

That was one of my suggestion is to make a separate thread the other day.. or just put it on post one that way people won't ask the same questions and also put the bugs too because of the same exact reason. :good:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] duck from space:
Oh well. Forums are full of spoiled kids asking free things and expecting to be be delivevered asap.

I'll try not to be one of them.

Off all the roms I tested there (not all tough), Resurrection Remix (Lineage based) is really awesome to me and my daily driver.

If somehow that deal of a five stars medal develloper looking into P2 happens, I wish he goes with this one.

Base Lineage... Meh.

Thoughts / suggestions / comparisons welcome.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcolorizer:
Was really skeptical about the phone until I heard that solid development is going on. Now, almost on the verge of ordering this device! But still one clarification needed.
[MENTION=2494638]celoxocis[/MENTION] Is it possible for Mike to test and support the volte feature for the device?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
VoLTE is already supported by the devices modem and the framework. And yes Mike's provider (Vodafone Greece) supports VoLTE too. There should not be any issues testing it.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dineshpampati:
Did Mike unlocked bootloader ?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankitkumar.in:
Tried that, nothing works.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeioannina:
No, I am now away for military training which ends on Monday. Then I'll have time to look into this device but don't expect any huge miracles, it will take some time to bring it up. It's my first time on a device with this SoC and 3.18 kernel and I want to do this from scratch because current device and kernel trees are messy.

Also please, rule #2 of Lineage is don't ask for VoLTE
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Siva Mk:
Thanks for the update Mike, take your time.

A bugless stable daily driver is waay better than rushed incomplete ROMs leading to unnecessary negative impressions.

Don't mind the rushers here. All the best :svetius::)

Note for others: Please keep the thread clean and to-the-topic. The title is future development and not bugs and solutions... Please refer to respective threads. Please!:rolleyes:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayVerhofstadt:
Mike, Thanks for your update. I think I still know you from devving for an older phone I used to have (Milestone 2 or one of my Sonys probably), and I feel confident in your quality of work. Time is not a issue tbh, with Lenovo basically lacking or even appearing to have stopped updating as the money had been made yet on this device, every update that will come will add life expectancy to this great device already. Just don't forget to share the happiness with us, as always.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcolorizer:
Yes, I understand.

Its just that one of the major 4g provider in India doesn't have 3g to fall back to. That's the reason for a surge in users requesting VoLTE.

No worries though! Happy that you are supporting this device!
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thread cleaned a bit.

Please be civil and respect each other and their opinions.

If you find someone annoying, please add them to your ignore list and move on.

[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nihil39:
Hasn't it already happpened? Do you think we will get Android O? :)

I think they released kernel and rom sources to leave the development to the community.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wmateria:
Just remember that it has only been since last November that this device first came about. So they have a long way to go on giving more official updates by Lenovo. Maybe not as fast, but good enough to have it more stable than it is already. :good:

P.S : Thank you for dedicating your time to our P2 set, and I hope you and Mike will release a Lineage release sooner than any Lenovo OTA that could never come despite the many bugs pointed out by the users.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anandabasak:
Wew work started for p2
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shatteringlass:
Hey guys, I don't know if this is just dumb, but anyways. Does p2 differ from addison (moto z play) in a relevant way? I think it only makes sense that two devices sharing the same SoC and produced by Lenovo (the latter having a Moto brand, but come on) can benefit from a unified developer community, if possibile. If not, do we already know why? [MENTION=4480917]Alberto97[/MENTION] is actively maintaining LOS14.1 for addison and he might provide valid support to mikeNG, who clearly stated this would be its primetime with a SD625 / 3.18 device. Am I just crazy?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Korax94:
I think that his help can be useful in all the ways
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nabeelp2:
Waiting for the official build of los.

Hope the build will be released soon
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
Yes Mike is doing amazing work! He is an perfectionist in his work.

He upstreamed the kernel all the way to Kernel code from June 28th 2017.

For a comparison. Lenovo's P2 Nougat kernel code was from December 2016.

He is currently in the process of fixing a few issues and getting the kernel to compile.

But don't expect any ROM builds anytime soon. A clean kernel is the base of all stable Lineage ROM's.

There is still much work to do. Don't ask for ETA's!

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

The devices might not differ much in hardware but in kernel Arch and blobs they do.

Moto Z Play is arm (32-Bit)

Lenovo P2 is arm64 (64-Bit).

So no commonization really possible (aka unified tree).

Only the device tree itself could end up looking similar in the end, except for it's content of course.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhayruparel:
There are many official ROM's available for Lenovo p2 with LED as a bug. If sir mike is developing a new tree or something will other the other official ROM's except lineos will have LED bug?

Hit thanks if I have helped you.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
There are no official LineageOS ROM's available for the Lenovo P2 yet. Which is the whole purpose of this thread.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhayruparel:
What I'm saying is that once we get official lineageos will LED be fixed in rr, aicp etc ROMs?

Hit thanks if I have helped you.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
I can't find my crystal ball today. It must have rolled off somewhere and be hiding and therefore i can't predict the future today.

But all those ROMs usually fork the work of LineageOS and use it as a base and apply their own features/bugs on top of it. So whatever get's fixed and works in LOS _should_ (if not messed up by a third party dev) also work in those ROMs.

But stay on topic please. Let's not discuss RR,AICP, etc here.

The thread is meant for proper future of P2 development, specifically official LineageOS not sandbox playground... I mean other third party developments that fork off LinageOS. :D
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhayruparel:
Thanks for your reply you have helped me clear my doubts.

And sir I can see title as future of development of Lenovo p2. In the description of the thread he has asked about lineage os for sure but he meant general development too i think so.

I apologise if I have misinterpreted the thread and it's purpose.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shatteringlass:
Thanks for clearing this up. I had no idea the two phones ran on different architectures. It's probably because addison has only 3GB of RAM, and wouldn't benefit from aarch64.

[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spazturtle:
I wish the myth that 64bit is only useful for addressing more then 3GB of RAM would go away. A 64bit CPU can fit numbers twice as large in it's registers so it can do more in the same cycle and use more efficient methods of doing things. A 64bit CPU will out perform a identical 32bit CPU.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] shatteringlass:

How much progress has been done till now?
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PL15:
:svetius:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] celoxocis:
It's more than that. That's only what is pushed to gerrit.

It will take as long as it takes. No ETA.

LOS Lenovo's P2 device tree will not be kanged from other devices and/or changed so it fits the P2.

Already existing device tree's for the P2 by "free developers" are not clean enough and honestly a mess in the commit history.

To ensure a stable and future proof lineageOS ROM.

The device tree will be done from scratch.

Also keep in mind it's all done in free time. So while the "average los user" spends his free time with their family, or watching TV, playing games, etc

Mike is spending his free time to bring you a perfect LOS ROM. Rushing such works only leads to buggy/unstable ROMs.

ROM wasn't build on a day. :good:

Just wondering .Hope someone can answer that

When we will get the official lineage os ,who will merge these changes to AICP and RR ?:confused:
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mojoman11:
Well.. Looks like the official one is going to be quite a wait because the unofficial itself is ridden with bugs that need to be taken care of.. So, if a stable release works out only then is the official version even going to be on the horizon.. This is my guess :)
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] reality1234:
Yeah We all are waiting for mike's work patiently. No hurries man.Even a stable LOS is more than enough. :)

Was just curious who would merge these changes like the whole new tree to AICP ,RR other ROMs because they were maintained my [MENTION=6810779]wzedlare[/MENTION] and he has left now.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wzedlare:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] D€INOS:
I have seen a few YouTube uploads and other users describing that during the edge tint adjustment the phone reboots and a blue screen appears with an animation that resembles some kind of firmware adjustment.

I don't get that blue screen and don't notice any difference adjusting the red tint that for me appears in the top of the phone.

Would like to hear if the adjustment worked even without that blue screen or other thoughts about this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
if you check local "red tint" thread (and it's huge), nobody had experienced any extra blue or other screens or double reboots (like the instructions on the Edge adjustment screen state). also, just like you, many don't notice any changes after adjusting the edges color temperature and rebooting. so either that "extra" adjustment screen was Korean update specific or Samsung has butchered international update. or, which is even worse, many screens are just defective and beyond any software fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Doranno00:
Me either

Yeah, I'm also facing this issue either. So bad that our unit didn't get that blue screen and edge screen still red.:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Strangeland16:
Well mine did the blue screen and rebooted and my edges are fine now
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
can you describe in more details what exactly happened and how did it look like (the blue screen)?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] D€INOS:
Thanks man for sharing, where are you from if I may ask , it's so weird that if you are not from Korea and got that blue screen. I'm from Sweden.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] D€INOS:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
can you link some please?

And this guy by the sound is from the UK, so it's not just Korean models.

This might be reason some (like me) haven't seen any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mannequin:

I have the Exynos version. And yours?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
i believe that's a mistake, UK has Exynos. i'm in US with SD but if you read that other thread i mentioned, almost nobody saw that blue screen all across different versions. definitely, never heard from anybody in US mentioning it.
