Can I flash my A37m Chinese version with this?

I have an Oppo A37m with the following details:

ColorOS version: V3.0

Android version: 5.1

Build number: A37m_11_A.26_180509

Kernel version: 3.10.72-G201805091208

I'm not sure, but I think it is a Chinese version ROM.

What will be improved if I flash this ROM instead? Can you please list down the benefits?

Will I be able to choose other languages, especially Indonesian and/or Malaysian (Bahasa Melayu)? Currently I can only select English or Chinese.

Thanks!

You still need to root it with Kingroot in order to install TWRP, to install magisk.

What I did is:

1) Root with Kingroot

2) Replaced Kingroot -> https://xdaforums.com/android/software/2019-replace-kingroot-v5-x-supersu-t3904880

3) Unlock bootloader

4) Flash TWRP

5) install magisk manager

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mitafoaj:
Is there a way to enable the Galaxy S8's native wifi hotspot in order to avoid paying the carrier's subscription (in my case, Verizon G955V)? I've searched with unsuccessful results. This phone has been out a while now. I'm really shocked that there is nothing...not even root. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] aroy97:
I'm with Verizon and the hotspot option is included with the plans. What do you mean about subscription?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tonesav:
I think he means to use the phone as a wireless repeater. as I understand it the WiFi can only do one thing at a time either connect to a router or transmit as a hotspot from the mobile network.

I could be wrong but I doubt the hardware is there to do both at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] muttonhead411:
Our device is definitely able to function as a repeater. Try it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tonesav:
Nice I'll take a look later
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mitafoaj:
I meant using the native hotspot, not the phone as a repeater. On my rooted S4, I am able to enable the hotspot while bypassing the subscription. I have the grandfathered unlimited (and I plan to keep it that way forever). I was looking at upgrading to the S8+ by purchasing it out right. I see that root is still in the works, but not fully functional.

The question: Is there a way to get the native hotspot to work on the S8+ without root or a subscription?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] BryanR854:
I have an Unlocked S8+ On Cricket/ AT&To without the subscription for mobile hotspot. The hotspot works without needing permission from the company's servers.

How do you hotspot it on your S4 so that the carrier doesn't know if I may ask?

[MENTION=4347064]saddambea[/MENTION] looks like you bootloader is not unlocked. Is that possible? If you back up you TA partition with twrp and recover from those backups you will relock your bootloader.
[Sony Xperia ZL] saddambea:
yes, i think it´s possible, my bl may be locked. couldn´t unlock via fastboot after that

and now, i can´t even boot to recovery. tried to flash recovery.img through fastboot with no success...
[Sony Xperia ZL] NamenIos:
What error did you get? Maybe you have to go back to stock via flashtool for this.

This should be normal if you used Dual Recovery on the stock rom before. Dualrecovery is on the /system partition, that you wiped while flashing.

This can't work as we don't have have a recovery partition. Our recovery is either in the boot.img or the system partition. LineageOS uses the boot.img and optionally then boots the recovery in the FOTA Kernel partition if you press vol up.

Uploading a new build as we speak. The changelog since 2016 is (I'm just being vague here, I don't remember all the issues, but I do have all the logs with me, if someone is interested):

1. Fix ancient F2FS bug (Specific to Fusion3)

2. Fix https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69849473&postcount=1243

3. Fix https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68245138&postcount=1130

4. Fix for input_evdev specific to us

5. Fix for SWAP

6. Fix for C5502 Double Tap to Wake Screen Freeze.

7. Many other improvements like ZRAM / Process Reclaim / Perf / mmc / Anon Reclaim etc

8. Changes from Chippa_a for XML audio configuration is also picked, I don't know maybe you will see a improvement [MENTION=7196088]gorillanobka[/MENTION]?

I haven't gone much into detail, but please send logs (dmesg / last_kmsg / logcat) wherever possible if you face something. At the moment, I only have C5502 (Fusion3 Dogo) with me. Yuga / Odin has hardware specific to them (other than chipset), so I won't be able to reproduce them on my device if you get some event changes / sensors changes.

I've also included a minor hack for auto-brightness. Let me know how you feel about it.

Please give it a go? Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] gorillanobka:
Thank you Daedroza!

You're a scholar and a gentleman. Gimme a week or so ( I am caught up with assignments and exams ) and i will have a look at it...

I'm pretty sure it will be a super stable build as always...

I am already running a Chippa's build with some changes to the XML audio if i am not wrong, and i could already hear some improvements.

The notifications remained very low though... I think the EU specific limitation for the audio needs to be commented / removed in order to see serious improvements .

Kind regards

Gorilla no Baka
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
Thank you for continuing with this phone. I plan to download this new build momentarily and try, but I have two long running issues and wonder if you might comment.

One is that this seems to come from the C6503 which has a different set of cellular bands, and I think that means my C6506 cannot access them. Is that correct? I seem to have poorer coverage in some areas than with the stock Sony software (which is now ancient of course). I have no done a deep dive to see, other than to see cynogenmod now lineage seems to be specific to the less-bands phone modem?

The more specific question is this: after some days or weeks, the phone's display gets laggy on scrolls; two specific places I use a lot are the CNN app and the News360 app. I found a fresh install cleared it up nicely, then over time it gets worse. I experimented (takes a long time as it is reproducible only over a long time) and found it is the Dalvik cache. If I clear that and reboot -- smooth as silk. A couple weeks later, have to do it again. Any thoughts as to what is happening? It's easily fixable now that I know a full install is not needed, but it just seems strange. Anyone else seeing it? Try wiping just Dalvik, see if it helps.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Daedroza:
- No idea about phone coverage. I had preferred if you could do a diff with signal measuring app or something of sort? That would give you a base stock result and one from Lineage.

- The phone's display gets slow / laggy / unresponsive systemwide or it just the apps? Maybe both the apps consume a lot of space on internal and cache. Hence you need to clear them.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
On the original firmware there was a dialer code to show usable bands; it does not work on LineageOS. I have tried without success to find a way to tell which bands are supported in the current OS. With some playstore apps I can see the current band but not all usable bands.

The original C6506 (odin rimy) documentation listed the bands available, and compared to the C6503 (odin gina). There are a number of differences. The C6506 supports LTE I, IV and XVII that the C6503 does not; the C6503 supports LTE III, VII, VIII and XX that the C6506 does not. My understanding (but I am not certain) is that this is a hardware limitation of the device, which of course corresponds to the stock firmware. It could also be that the radios are the same, but the restriction on bands was purely in software tied to the model.

My reading of old postings on the cynogenmod software was it was based on the C6503, and so my question is what is the result. It seems POSSIBLE that it only then supports the bands they had in common: LTE I and V, which leaves a lot missing. Or it is also POSSIBLE that it supports all the C6503 bands which (again, my loose understanding) were not ideal for US/AT&T use, which is what the C6506 was fo.

Basically I know only enough to wonder if the LineageOS is limiting the bands the phone can use? And how I might tell for sure? And/or if you have all the source, can you tell, or is this buried in the blobs that are opaque?

As to the laggy: I think it is the whole system, but it is hard to say as I'm generally using some app. They do begin to start up slower as well as operate slower, but it is most noticeable on things that scroll. Frankly I would likely not notice other slowness if the scrolling did not hesitate. A list of stories in the CNN app, for example, if you touch and start scrolling hesitates nearly a second before it moves. Clear dalvik and there's no hesitation. It is also worth noting I use very little on the phone - mail, CNN, News360, weatherbug, calendar, and the phone are just about it. All visible resources (that I know how to look at) show lots of free space. Now that I know how to quickly fix it not a big deal.
[Sony Xperia ZL] JLBouras:
Does the IR blaster work with this build? Does it work with other apps like Anymote?
[Sony Xperia ZL] NamenIos:
According to Sonys whitepaper the C6506 should support LTE Band I, Band II, Band IV, Band V and Band XVII (1, 2, 4, 5 and 17). The supported bands are stored in partitions not touched by LineageOS (see here). You have to check which bands your provider uses in your region and then use an app to check if you get connected to which band, I don't think there is an alternative. The old dialer code won't work, as it is sony specific. I too haven't found an app that shows available LTE networks regardless of your contract and possibly this is not even possible on standard Android APIs.

Performance (in scrolling and in general) doesn't seem worse than on stock for me (in fact it feels better). I use F2FS, but I doubt it changes anything on your performance problems. Once we get all this in the official repos and get a weekly build status, there will probably be some experimental stuff that will be tried out and surfaces here. For now the focus is more on getting the officially supported status.

edit:

Only with one app (the one that worked on CM13), root access and selinux disabled, we have to add file permissions, ownership and selinux rules. This is not yet tested enough though. edit: Just tested with selinux disabled, works well with preconfigured remotes, slightly flaky when learning imo.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
That's the list of the supported bands, but I know I read years ago that the (not sure if this is the right word?) modem used by Cynogenmod for this phone started as the 6503. Does the software incorporated within LineageOS support all bands listed in the partition mentioned?

I tried to find the old discussion I remember without success. Closest I got was this which brings it up (look for "bands"), but people are saying "mine works". The issue of course is if some bands work but not others the phone may "work" but not have the same coverage where you have less bands or more congestion.

I was hoping there was a way to actually query the phone for which have actual hardware+software support, but it sounds like there no longer exists that ability with the loss of that service menu.

Frankly it may have been the same there. I'm wondering if, being news related apps I use most, if they are leaking/cluttering up the cache in some way more than normal use (Dalvik is for the VM, right? Do apps cache data there or just the VM cache app code there?). Regardless, I have an easy workaround, it takes just a few minutes to clear and get back fully up.

I absolutely agree getting fully supported is great. I hope to get a Pixel2 when they come out, and leave this as a backup phone, so would love to get a few more years utility out of it. It's been a really great phone, I still rarely see any with the low percentage of wasted space on the front as this.

Hello every one,

i need your help here, because it gets a bit confusing for me.

I unlocked the bootloader and now i am not sure what is the next step.

How do i install a custom recovery on this device? Is it enough to just flash the boot.img included in this rom (inbuild recovery) or are there other steps to do?

I searched the forum, but i couldn´t find enough evidence to be sure enough to do it.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Solved the Problem:

1. I installed twrp_3.1.1-0 through fastboot (fastboot flash boot xxx.img)

2. booted in twrp (Power + Vol_Up)

3. followed the steps in OP

I was on 10.7.A.0.228 before and just unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp afterwards.

This ROM is working so far, good

Although I do not make full use, but stuff like Earphones(Does not work in Resurrection Remix which is from previous Linage build), Mic, earpiece and speaker works with calling whatsapp and messenger calls too, gps, sound mods(Arise,dolby with permissive SEL), SU, app2sd,

I flashed Aroma and replaced default apps like dialer, launcher, calander, calc, phone, files, keyboard, and removed those live wallpapers, everything went smooth, Rom is Good,

This rom also has few noticeable extra features in security, functions, and buttons

But I miss the quick unlock when pin is right, and also I do wish that this rom has functional features like RR has, like Network traffic indicator, speed, Prevent Accidental Wakeup,

also, it's been long time battery saver feature is same old since CM 12, data saver orange border, and min brightness, can you add battery saving profiles such that we do not need to use kernel audit, also TCP congestion :3 few feature request

Everything works fine (did a clean install, was on unofficial previously)!

bricked

Hi,

I was using 4.4.4 official (C6503_10.5.1.A.0.292_Customized_NCB), rooted with the bootloader unlocked (dual recovery) and decided to upgrade, after backing up.

In TWRP, I cleaned the dalvik cache, the cache and data partitions but did not install the rom's kernel. Then I flashed the rom zip, and gapps pico (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20171002.zip). After rebooting, I don't even see the boot animation, only a blinking red light.

I've only been able to see the device in flash mode under flashtool, but I'm not sure what should I do now. Help will be much appreciated.
[Sony Xperia ZL] cloppy007:
Unbricked. Used flashtool to install a stock 4.4.4 firmware. Went through the process of rooting, installing the recovery and also unlocked the bootloader, which I think it was my fault (the bootloader was unlockable, not unlocked). I ended up flashing the official nightly build and seems to be working ok.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Astra7525:
I have switched to the official 011017 LineageOS from unofficial recently and it appears I might have some trouble in regards to my TWRP 3.0.2 recovery not being able to see the internal memory or complete OTA updates.

It goes so far as to me not even knowing which recovery I am currently using, whether I flashed a FOTA recovery or its the inbuilt one.

What would happen if I flashed the boot.img when using a FOTA recovery? Can I detect what kind of recovery I am using?

What recovery is the ROM using when you don't have a FOTA recovery?

Trying to get to a known-safe state here so I can take further action.
[Sony Xperia ZL] poamber:
It's the latest TWRP 3.1.1.0 IIRC.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Astra7525:
Guess I have a FOTA-Setup then since my device with ROM (14.1-20171001-nightly-odin) gives me a TWRP 3.0.2 and seems to have some trouble accessing storage.

I guess I should flash the boot.img from the zip then or do I have to do something else to remove the FOTA Recovery setup?
[Sony Xperia ZL] poamber:
I think flashing the boot.img (and then booting into the built-in recovery with volume up during boot) should be sufficient but I can't tell for sure as I only have the built-in recovery.
[Sony Xperia ZL] JLBouras:
How does the IR Blaster function with these builds? Has any work gone in to use the IR with another app like Anymote?

Sorry, I just realized I had already posted this question.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Astra7525:
According to the official LineageOS Install guide for odin, when you push volume down during boot you get the inbuilt recovery and volume up boots a FOTA recovery, if you have one.

Volume up boots the aforementioned TWRP 3.0.2, therefore FOTA. Curiously, volume down (most likely the inbuilt one) gives me a weird "Android Recovery" with a simple non-touch UI.

What does your not-messed-with Xperia ZL give you?

Side tangent:

The install guide itself seems to be at odds with how Sony phones work. It tells you to flash the TWRP with fastboot and target "recovery" like a regular one. But that should not work with Sony's recovery-in-boot setup.

If you follow the guide top to bottom, the device still has the stock ROM running, therefore no FOTA-Recovery setup for fastboot to maybe detect and use.

I think the guide does not work on a stock-ROM Xperia ZL.
