J8 Build XX

The Play store bug was fixed but not immediately, it started updating then force closed then after checking to install high end games, I was now able to. :)

The ZRam went back to disabled but I feel like you tweaked it because multitasking is back to normal with ZRam disabled. :D:good:

Everything is much smoother and can confirm everything is working fine.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
Maybe.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
Due to the several build failures due to a fault in the android build system and a minor bug present in all builds run today/yesterday (20180802/20180803), I'll be clearing the build queue, as well as all builds from today on the servers and rerunning them all. Sorry for the inconvenience if you've already downloaded a ROM from today.

______

I've rerun all twrp builds (20180802) - it has been updated to version 3.2.3 and should have whatever features are in that new version (sorry, I can't list them down right now).

Specific Gerrit commits synced to repos?

I did a 08/03 build and it didn't boot - stuck looping on the "smile".

Question, have the Gerrit commit(s) that supposedly causing the camera issue been promoted to the repos yet? I was unable to figure out exactly which one(s) would probably fix the issue so I did a build with android_device_samsung_msm8916-common set back to the last commit prior to my last successful 06/25* build and still had the issue.

* I must say that my DIY 06/25 build contains your tweaks to the CPU states which made it my best (smoothest) build ever! I don't know why I even bother to try to build a new current ROM other than "just because". Brilliant work!
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
The relevant topics on gerrit are '15.1-cleanup,zram,boringssl' in that order for a number of issues. You'd have to look at the changes individually to understand what changed.

As for the booting issue, I'm not sure what's causing it either, because the j5 builds with the exact same changes boot fine, so I'm guessing it has to do with an upstream lineage change dependent on newer (baseband and/or other proprietary) firmware that's breaking things.

Hi. I tried to fix too this bug, i couldn't. I'm waiting for the next build and search in the prop if this line appear. (sorry for my english)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] :
Fortuna3g (SM-G530H/DS)

Don't apologize, many people are not native to english and about the issue I've also tried to put this thing

ro.opengles.version=196608

everywhere on my build.prop but it didn't work either, even cleaning playstore's cache and data and/or rebooting the phone, fortunately I worked around this problem by just downloading the APKs directly from their websites, the phone had no problem with that.

Can't enable 1GB ZRam
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
Yeah.. That would be silly, as the error says.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
=== Edited ===

I'll elaborate. I don't mean to sound rude in my previous post.

The kernel and all critical system services need some memory, both static (for the kernel code, application code, etc) as well as space for accounting or anything variable (page tables and other data structures).

The system will absolutely let you set a ridiculous size for zram, no doubt. But since zram is swap (with the highest possible swapping priority set), the kernel will swap out any pages it can if it has the chance. Since there'll be so much space in zram, the kernel will eventually try to swap out more than is tenable (zram is in *RAM*, so past a certain point swapping a page from RAM to RAM will have no saving, even with compression) and thrashing will result, making the system grind to a halt.

ZRAM also does not automatically clean up freed up space. So, for example, if I make a 1GB zram, format it with a file system, say ext4, and fill it up with a zeroed file, then remove the file, all that space will still be marked as allocated in RAM in the kernel, even if the file system says it's free, since the kernel doesn't know how zram works, nor zram how any underlying data structure placed on it works. You will need to deactivate the zram disk (and thus deallocate the memory) to free up that space.

So, when you get that warning, don't ignore it and go set the size manually anyways using kernel adiutor or something else. It's a cause for trouble.

And when I change something in the ROM, say disable zram for all devices, it's for reasons like this. Me, Sean and Emery were very much against this and other decisions by Dyneteve, like core control, because forcing optimizations like this on users is very bad. Trust me on this. So the compromise I reached was to leave them there, but disabled.

I have a degree in these things; I'm a computer scientist, favouring low level system design and programming, so trust me when I make a decision like this.

maybe it could be the modem of our devices :confused: because it is happening on A3 and Gran prime as well each firmwares has different modems [ depends of the country] 4 example if you live in EE.UU but you're using a rom from INDIA the qualcom are different well idk I assume that is like that, whether if I make a universal modem it will be able to flash any rom without issues

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

so.. in simple words.. don't install that kind of zRAM or somethings like that..:)

Build j9 XX

Dual sim refuses to disable, I need to restart 2-6 times.

Edit: I disabled ZRam and the issue was gone ?

Also some other small glitches I didn't mention

I guess you're right, ZRam causes issues, yet I thought having more was better, I was wrong.

J9 build for fortuna3g

On my phone (which is dual SIM) the only SIM is not connecting to Network and also I have Zram deactivated

It seems *someone* managed to get the build bot token and proceeded to ban everyone from the telegram build channel. I won't mention any names, but you can guess who that is. This is pretty low and childish; I would have expected better from this person.

Apologies if you were kicked from the channel. I'll be making a new one, and generating a new bot.

A new channel was overdue anyways.

===== Edit ====

It would seem jenkins was attacked and messed with as well to some extent, and the entirety of both gerrit instances nuked.

I'll have these up and running again in a bit; for now I'll close off all access to the main server to find the extent of the intrusion.

I'll change this comment with any updates.

The Ram management is outstanding, I actually got surprised.

The only issue I'm having is that dual sim doesn't seem to go away, XX isn't dual sim but I'm sure you know about this.

To disable denoise feature from google camera

How is it going? I realized that the camera app of this ROM doesn't have the best quality as it could, so I would to like to ask if any expert knows how to disable the feature 'Denoise' that comes by default on this app, this feature makes the image not to look sharp and a bit blurred. I have installed Snap camera that used to come with Cyanogenmod ROMs but some other options don't work like a simple video recording, is there any file to edit to disable this?

I tried changing this option to false on build.prop to see if it makes difference but I had no success.

camera.disable_treble=true

Camera, torch and SIM cards not working.

Hi there, Vince! Unfortunately for me, the torch, camera and SIM cards are not being recognized. I'm on fortuna3g, using the latest available build as of the time of writing. I believe this to be a bug, as I've tried your RR build and the same thing happened, except the SIM cards were recognized. I'll provide a logcat if needed.

===== EDIT =====

I did some more tests, and it seems that the SIM1 slot is being recognized while SIM2 isn't. Thanks in advance.

===== EDIT 2 =====

I've tried flashing the XCU version, to no avail. It wouldn't even boot correctly and it'd shutdown after booting. So yeah, it's definetely not the baseband version.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jesrani:
Hi. I have an old G530H device with Android 4.4.4. At some point it was rooted as it has SuperSu app but currently not rooted.

I would like to update to any recent stable ROM as mobile is used by my dad.

Is this ROM good for daily use? How exactly should I install? Not sure what recovery is installed right now.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Just install any 7.1 rom and you are good to go

However you need the 5.0.2 bootloader other vise it won't boot.

:), if you face any issues just feel free to PM me.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] :
First things first, flash the newest firmware possible via Odin before installing any custom ROMs and then install a custom recovery and all.

I recommend the ViperOS ROM, it has no bug and it's a nougat Android version. You can download TWRP from Vince's repo, 3.2.1 is the best choice and then download ViperOS from play4noob with nano gapps, best combination ever.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] :
That's what I meant when I said that with lineage's camera it's not possible to record videos. I've tried a bunch of different versions, and all of them has the same issue. It tries to record at 60 FPS but everyone knows that the grand Prime's camera cannot surpass 30 Frames and as you see there is no way to disable it. With Google camera that comes with this ROM It is possible to record but doesn't have that quality as lineage's cam
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jesrani:
I installed NewKingRoot apk and was able to root the phone. Also installed TWRP App. However whenever I try to install TWRP it says flash failed. I went into download mode and tried to install TWRP through ODIN but it resulted in some error. The phone would boot up into some black screen. Had to hard reboot to get into system again. Found 4.4.4 recovery image and flashed through ODIN. But unable to get into recovery through button combo. Am able to go through TWRP app though.

Can you please give more detailed procedure with links if possible for latest firmware and ViperOS? Also, do I need to and how to flash 5.0.2 bootloader?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Exactly you need android 5.0.2 bootloader in order to instal latest twrp.

First flash the latest firmware via Odin

Boot into the ROM

Go to download mode

Flash twrp

You bootloader will be locked so uncheck reboot option in Odin

Hold Home+Power+Volume Up in download mode

In twrp go to wipe then advance wipe and make sure your internal storage and SD card is unchecked and everything else is checked wipe go to install select ROM then click add more zips then select gapps then swipe to install wait 5 min then reboot wait another 10-15 main and voila setup and enjoy

If it didn't boot in 10-15 min try again and make sure that you downloaded the ROM for right variant

And gapps arm 7.1.2 pico or nano or micro

Hope it helps
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] :
The lastest firmware you can download from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Type the exact model in the search bar and choose the lastest firmware with the same baseband than yours. As you can see in attachment, mine is XXU, make sure to pick the same for your phone. I don't remember if it's needed to unzip the file but flash it via Odin anyway.

After flashing the newest firmware, flash custom recovery and you're good to go. Install any custom ROM you want, however if you want to install Viper Just search for it in XDA.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Nopm:
Does anyone know how to fix my camera issues? I was hoping to use this ROM daily and I can't without a camera.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
None of that will work, samsung camera libs are proprietary and very old, and difficult to work with.

Can you provide me with the build number, date, device name of the last working build.

They're not the same device, they're separate for a reason. You really shouldn't flash firmware for another device, it's a recipe for disaster.

Logcat please. As well as device name, build number, etc. I can't guess these things, there are multiple devices supported in this thread.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Nopm:
I'm on G530H fortuna3g, using build 20180803, I installed it yesterday, camera hasn't been working since. I'll provide a logcat as soon as I get home.

=== EDIT ===

Here's the logcat: https://paste.ee/p/3v97b
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] :
I'm on the same device but the camera isn't so problematic, what kinda thing are you trying to do? Maybe we can get a work around
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Nopm:
For now, I just asked for help on the thread. I don't really know how to solve this problem.

What intrigues me is that my baseband shows XCU, but when I flashed it, it didn't boot. Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
Hi again, Vince. Update: if I get my Grand Prime unlocked for my Verizon SIM, I'll be back on Lineage with unlimited data and the #1 network in 2018! As for the RIL bug still within the G530P and S920L (continuous ringing), if I unlock the device and use a different service than expected (in this case, an unlocked Sprint phone on Verizon), what would happen concerning the RIL bug? Would it still persist?

If so, I was wondering how you are with cracking that case, along with the rest of Treble's troubles. Please let me know. ::fingers-crossed:

Also I heard the camera and flashlight problems are back. But just to be clear, that's only happening on the fortuna variants, and everything's still fine on the gprimelte variants, right?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Hey Vince Android Pie is out now :)

Hoping that it can be like android 7 cuz 8 is not fully stable
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
The fortuna3g and fortunave3g devices have much older camera blobs. That is most likely why. That is, if you're using the latest build.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Nopm:
Thanks Vince. We all appreciate the work you do for such an old device, I know most of XDA already dropped support for it. I'll stay tuned in for any updates regarding the camera bug.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] :
I think OREO is enough for GP, don't you? because they are having trouble to fix compatibility issues with old firmware and all.

I have downloaded the lastest Lineage's camera from apkmirror (which is now being called Snap) and it's working almost fine, there is only a problem when I record videos, I can't turn slow motion feature off. I tried to recompile this apk from source without this feature but I am very awful with that :rolleyes: . And there is a curious thing, if you set SELinux status to enforcing no application can't connect to camera.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
Vince. Sorry to say this, but I decided to try the new builds to see how it works, but now, just as Lineage is bootlooping, so is RR. RR was fine until the May 29 build. That and every build that came after starts bootlooping like Lineage OS since its April 23 build (or something). I know I'm asking a lot right now, but, along with my previous questions, I was wondering if you can check the code of the older builds (like before April) and see why on devices like my G530P, it won't boot to the system anymore. I really appreciate your efforts, though, Vince.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Is anyone (anyone who does NOT have fortuna devices) experiencing a system bootloop in the latest build of Lineage and/or RR?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Nah we should try
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Zep0th:
That's weird, I've never had an issue with the camera on XX

You can try to flash stock ROM and then check for updates.

After that install this recovery via Odin https://dl.twrp.me/fortuna3g/

Then try to flash the newest version, camera should be working fine.

I recommend Lineage Go builds.. Very smooth and great multitasking, feels like 2GB Ram.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Really that go builds are that fast?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] jesrani:
Was able to install Lineage 15.1 but there was a problem of SIM not being detected every now and then.

Installed ViperOS and it is very stable and doesn't seem to lag. Thanks for all suggestions
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Just restart a couple of times and when you see the sim is working try not to restat
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Pabalang:
Still dont boot for me xcu fortunaave lineage and lineage os. Rr works fine for me
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Just flashed los go latest build using latest official recovery super smooth and the camera works
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Nopm:
Aren't Lineage Go builds lacking some features? I'll try that, thanks.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
Does anyone know how to bypass RR and Lineage OS bootlooping? I cleared Dalvik cache, and original cache, it didn't work.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
try wiping everything except storage then flash LOS or RR.

If it didn't helped you try refalshing the latest firmware of your varient and try again
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
I wipe them out every time, and it hasn't worked. This bootloop has happened since the April 23 builds, and nothing I do works. The only ROMs that haven't bootlooped yet are unknown's Dot OS and ducpham397's AEX. But they're outdated; I want the latest battery and RAM fixes.

And yes, I always resort to my latest stock firmware.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
I don't understand Why?:confused:

maybe builds for your devices got a minor bug that is causing the bootloop!?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
What variant you have?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
a fortuna3g
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
That explains. I think this is only happening to the gprimelte variants. Somehow, the fortuna variants are unaffected.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Maybe you are right this might only happen to gprimelte varients
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
But I wonder what Vince did to cause it all of a sudden
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
I think Vince mentioned it but I cant remember

He knows who did this but he is not telling the name just wait till new builds and I think every thing will be fine :)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
Wait, was it the same guy who he said messed up the Jenkins server, or something?:confused:
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
IDK but Vince had to create a new telegram channel
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
Oh. I'd assume it's the same guy
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
BTW do you want Android Pie?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
OF COURSE!! :):D:fingers-crossed:

I'd Android P-ify the ROM until I'm SURE Vince has Android Pie down (probably by the 3rd or 4th quarter of next year)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] itexpert.120:
Ducphan has build dot is 2.4 closest to android p

And BTW thats the spirit my friend keep that up this device can surely handle android q
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Scholeggo:
BTW, I looked at the posts I missed from this thread, and I think Vince recognized the bootloop issue. He said he probably found the problem, maybe the new changes in Lineage OS 15.1 system every once in a while, like these ones. He didn't mention anyone breaking the builds.

Also, I'm more fixes than features at this point. His DotOS build is outdated. I can get my phone updated the minute Vince finishes it and posts it; using other developers' ROMs will take too much time to catch up on the latest. Plus there's another way to Android P-ify the phone: paphonb. I can Android P-ify the phone without an Android P-ified (and outdated) ROM. I'll just wait and keep checking until Vince fixes the problem. He said the fix should be in a couple more weekly builds.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Nopm:
Strange... I have a XCU but when I install the XCU build, it takes a long ass time to boot and then restarts into TWRP. The XX build is the one that has these camera issues. Man, this annoys me. Why does XX boot? My baseband shows XCU...
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
I don't have an msm8916 device at the moment, nor the money to buy one, so that's out of the question indefinitely. Don't get your hopes up for this. No ETAs either.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Nopm:
Anything on the issue I've reported, Vince? It's been a few days, and I know you're busy and all, but I just wanted to know if you've made any progress.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] :
From the start i thought the grand Prime's development would stop at marshmallow version because it was two years since GP released and a lot of people have been complaining about the difficulty and how weak its hardware is. Believe me, we had a group on WhatsApp with almost hundred users (only in Brazil) and another with dozens of strangers and all of them have changed their phone. The point is, GP has a lot of variants, has an old firmware and most of its developers are going away. That's why i think Oreo is good enough for GP because less of 10% of android users have this version and it's getting even harder to make old and proprietary libraries work on newer android versions. isn't that true [MENTION=7569388]vince2678[/MENTION] ?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
One of the rules on xda is *no ETAs*. We all have our personal lives and circumstances besides this, and mine have been particularly challenging these past few months. I would prefer not to be bothered by ETAs, I do read this thread any chance i get, and most times i am aware of all the concerns here.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] vince2678:
I guess so, that does make it quite challenging. Circumstances allowing, I'd like to see one more iteration of this.

I have no device however, so that'll be a challenge.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development] Nopm:
You could've been a little bit nicer about that one, no need to be rude. I'll wait for any bug fixing announcements.
