U are a little bit crazy :laugh::laugh:

Why dont you fork the united tree from [MENTION=6034929]no_name[/MENTION] ( It is united tree of kyleproxx , you can build ROM for both dev just from that tree :):) )

And kernel reworked too ( There is also oreo kernel on it , but i dont think it is stable yet as some missed android binder commit , can you do it ? :confused::confused::confused: )

If u cant find the united device tree and reworked kernel , link here :

United device tree : https://github.com/ishantvivek/android_device_samsung_kyleproxx

Reworked kernel : https://github.com/ishantvivek/android_kernel_samsung_kyleproxx

Vendor new ( for united device tree , cm 14.1 branch ) : https://github.com/ishantvivek/android_vendor_samsung_kyleproxx/tree/cm-14.1

And it is great if u can help us to bring up the patches for oreo on kyleproxx .. ;););)

And cherry pick android binder commit from here to o branch in here ( remember to fork it and edit on your github , not make pull request on his github :D )
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] iodev:
[MENTION=7770700]unknown[/MENTION] okay, I took a look, but I'm not sure I can bring the commits, firstly this hasn't been properly tested (ishantvivek doesn't build 12.1). Secondly I insist upon extreme stability, I can't risk the stability of the device. I intend to produce a ROM as stable as the Samsung original one (newest version doesn't matter). Thirdly, I plan to limit changes to a minimum (I plan to look on https://cnet.com/security and whenever something really really major appears to fix it) in order to ensure absolute stability.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] unknown:
I mean you bringup to o branch for oreo tested on kyleproxx ;););)

U can fork it and bringup

We are now work on oreo for kyleproxx

About the commit , it is from a6000 , the device has the most stablest oreo rom :):)

I want to ask you for help for oreo bringup for this 2013 old-legacy device ... :o:o

Lucky You with play store preinstalled. I'd suggest you to simple get rid off original widget and install any other widget from google play store. The original one is not working for me either (N/A). I'm gonna keep fighting with mine. Does anyone know how to enter recovery mode on S2? I was able to boot in safe mode (power + volume down) but idk what's the combination for recovery. Maybe under recovery mode I'll be able to install all those google services. I was also unable to root this device.

If anyone got some info how to install google services on this I'd appreciate it!

Still no luck with play store :-/ [MENTION=522436]liuhaychiv[/MENTION]

Can You tell me what's Your ROM version?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
You must install Google Play Services in order to have Google Play Store and other Google apps. Both apps can be found here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/. Choose the right services, this one works for me: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...s-11-7-41-248-171017412-android-apk-download/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _haker_1:
This is exacly what I did. I've checked dpi, android version, cpu architecture. I've installed services, framework, account, play store in order. Still no luck. I've also installed google installer which is downloading all neccesary services automaticaly and... same story. Everything installs without any problem but it freezes when I want to open any google app.

Have You installed gaaps on Sharp S2 without those apps being preinstalled?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
Actually, I haven't. I had Gapps preinstalled this time. But I had some Chinese phones before and not all of them came with Gapps. I never had problem with installing them.

S2 has plenty options to set rights and restrictions per app. They are in 3 sectors - under SIM settings (about use of networks), apps settings and S boost. I couldn't get internet radio working before I assign necessary rights to it. Have you checked that you gave all gapps needed rights?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _haker_1:
Hm.. Maybe I've found the problem. Under SIM and S-boost everything looks good. In apps settings I'm unable to give "get location" for Google Services. I can see it needs "access precise location" to work. Can You tell me whether You have "get location" set for google services on your phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
I gave GPS all possible permissions. Always.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _haker_1:
Well, I can't. The phone is crashing when I want to swipe "location: ON" in google services. It freezes, going black-screen and then going back to settings. It's exacly the same when I want to allow Google Services Framework to read/write instant messages (as far as I can see online those two are by default OFF anyway). All the other permissions for all google apps are ON. Also, most of the other apps with location needed are crashing when I have gaaps installed. Idk why I cant give it all permissions, didn't find any similar problem online.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
Then, it seems that the problem is serious. When I bought the phone I noticed that the system has flaws, so first thing I did was factory reset. Even after that I still have two errors, fingerprint scanner is slow and sometimes after unlocking the screen just turns blank and after using power button it turns out that phone is unlocked already. And after every resetting the phone Android Pay simply disappeared and has to be enabled in Google Play again. I've gotten one OTA already and nothing regarding both issues has been changed.

I guess you have 3 options: factory reset and set all bunch of Gapps again, returning the phone or waiting for next OTA. It is obvious that the problem is on the sw side and it is in proprietary Smile UI system precisely.

Hopefully they gonna sort it out soon.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _haker_1:
Yeah, exacly. I've already done factory reset multiple times. I'm installing proper version of google service and I can't give it location permisions. I'm almost sure I'm doing everything right.

Gonna wait for OTA, I'll use it without play store atm.

I have no problems at all with fingerprint sensor and unlocking. I think we might have slightly different softwares. Can You tell me whats your ROM version? Mine is 00CN_1_27L with android patched September 1, 2017. Kernel Version 4.4.21

Cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
Mine is 00WW_1_27L and that is the difference. WW stays for worldwide and CN for china (kernels are the same). And WW has Gapps installed. But it has other issues caused by incorrect android system modification (smile UI).

Result of that erroneous system is obviously in Gapps failure. My previous phone was Chinese (there was ww version as well), without Gapps, but system was good and I had no troubles installing Gapps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _haker_1:
I understand - thanks for information. I guess I'll have to wait for root manual and flash rom to WW in future.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
You don't need root, just OTA or factory image. If I were you, I'd ask both the seller and Sharp for it Describing troubles and they might hear you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _haker_1:
Sharp didn't even reply. Seller said that I bough device with CN rom and it is as it is. They are both kinda right. How can I OTA with region change? I dont think I can use factory image as my image is CN atm. WW images are not available online.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
It's the same kernel, exactly the same hw, there is no difference, only the system. You can flash either ww ota or factory image. Another problem is to get any if supplier doesn't cooperate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liuhaychiv:
Yes, only that way use widget from google play store but if the original build in widget working it will be good.

Anyways, thank you for your commend and suggestion.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _haker_1:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meissner.t:
My Aquos S2 (SD660 version) came with the worldwide firmware '00W_9_98Z'. On the Sharp Mobile Taiwan website there is a '00WW_1_27L' version (from October 10) . Anyone knows which is more recent? Ota function says I am up to date.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felttimies:
That "00WW_1_27L" firmware might be only for 4/64gb version of phones?

I also tried to flash it under recovery mode (from SD and from adb sideload) - still no luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felttimies:
Hmmh, if it shows "file not found" then filename must be different? Because with that code it is searching file, and after not found that error comes..

Hi there,

It looks like there is a solution for you. I took it from 4pda.ru and all credit belongs to them.

So, You need change name of your WW ROM to: SS2-127M-0-00CN-B04-update. Frankly speaking updating software needs to think it is a CN ROM. It checks only name.

Don't try this way if You have 1_27L.

If You have 1_27M, You should be able to change firmware without any problems.

I've found 1 more guy with 1_27L who also bricked his phone. Surprisingly he had 128GB version. I'm sure mine was 64GB and ROM number was exacly the same. Learn on our mistake and be careful.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solsearch:
Cool. That's the one I am considering getting. Could you also do me a favour? According to Intrinsyc the SD660 can decode 10-bit hevc, which could be a deciding factor when finally choosing my next phone. Could you test whether the Aquos S2 can hardware decode 10-bit hevc video? Any luck with Google Play? How about the amazon app store (play store would be nice though not critical and I don't care about the other G apps).

The phone cam with Google play store installed. Everything works fine for me. How can I test whether hevc is supported?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solsearch:
Thanks! Well, here are hevc test files http://jell.yfish.us.

You can try with the default video player but I suggest trying with the MX Player (you'll most likely have to enable HW+ decoding under Settings>Decoder (you might also have to tick HEVC and HEVC 10 bits under "HW+ video codecs" in the same place.)

If the video plays back and you see "HW" or "HW+" it has hardware acceleration and if it says "SW" then it doesn't (at least currently). You can see what I am referring to in the attached images.

Here's an 8bit HEVC file at 55mbit/sec

http://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-55-mbps-hd-hevc.mkv

and a 10bit one at 40mbit/sec

http://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-40-mbps-hd-hevc-10bit.mkv

I recommend downloading rather than streaming unless you have a fast connection.

If you want to try with a lower bit rate here's 8bit 20mbit/sec

http://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-20-mbps-hd-hevc.mkv

After seven days had passed and I hadn't had any words I emailed them. They responded saying the could have it in stock in one or two more business days (in other words they don't actually have it). Oh, they also asked me to give them a positive review/rating on resellerratings.com, despite not having even having the phone in stock, much less having sent it.

Just sharing my experience with the Aquos S2:

I bought one in China from JD, updated it to latest CN software, think it was 135C or D. Indeed no Google Play and unable to get it working. Couldn't give the location permission.

Then read a bunch of topics on XDA and the Russian 4pda.ru forum. Went ahead with downloading the Taiwan WW ROM SS2-127O-0-00WW-B01-update.zip changed the name into "SS2-136L-0-00CN-B03-update" and copied it to the phone. Then ran *#*#874#*#* in the dialpad and it installed the Taiwan WW ROM perfectly. After reboot I had all the google apps and a very clean install.

On the Sharp website, the right tab, there are 2 downloads, think the first one is for the 630 and the second for the 660. (not confirmed)

You can unpack payload with simple python script to get firmware files.

I have another problem- I own aquos S2 and I cant enter edl mode :mad: nothing is working adb reboot edl, fastboot reboot-edl, no even EDL soldered usb cable is working..

But I know now how to put in EDL mode forever: To flash such as you did older firmware above newer :) 1_27L. < 1_27M you flashed before!

The problem is firmware updating in this device is going from Android, overwriting files only.
