[General Questions and Answers] pakse:
Hi folks,

last June I had to buy a new smartphone on Cuba because my old device (good old Nexus 7 2013) crashed during my stay.

The only newer model they had in a Etecsa shop in Havanna was a "Itelecom 1570c" with Android 4.4.2 for 220CUC.

The device is quite okay (brand new technology on Cuba :) ) but now back in Germany I want to root the device because I have problems writing/deleting files on SD card with non-system apps, deleting SMS stored on the SIM Card, maybe Android 4.4.2 issues.

I don't believe a new OS version will ever be released in the future officialy.

What is the best way to root that device or install Lineage OS ?

Thanks in advance

Frank

Great rom [MENTION=7652989]minz1[/MENTION] , you are an outstanding asset to the community with your dedication to your work on all of these devices. Hopefully the remaining bugs you've listed will be sorted and ironed out and it's no biggie to get it to stable status.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
To keep you guys posted, Camera will be fixed today or tomorrow, and Audio will follow soon afterwards. Then, I'll try to fix GPS, and finally, RIL. After all of this, I'll work on Lineage-15.0

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TeknoGodz:
I'm pretty sure thats covered by the "RIL" bug he listed, as far as I'm aware that means Radio Interface Layer, so when he fixes the RIL bug the SIM and calls and telephony messaging, all that will work.

Minz, can you confirm that? I'm not 100 percent lol
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
Yep, since RIL is broken, your simcard will not function. Please READ the OP before commenting, jaydriod.

It's a security message from the bootloader (ABOOT)

[MENTION=8781202]RSDoTTo[/MENTION] Check your re-post in news and discussion. I responded to you. :):D:):D

[MENTION=7652989]minz1[/MENTION] Hope It's been smooth sailing working on the lineage OS system rom for this device and not too taxing. I still have the $300.00 for you ready to be donated. I know you won't disappoint us with this release. :):D:):D
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
Next release should be LineageOS 15.0.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anthonykb:
Sounds good

Going straight into the bleeding edge of LineageOS distributions (15.1) with the first release sounds best but some people not want the latest maybe cause they think the older version performs or functions better so maybe providing a stable Lineage 14.1 build for that crowd would be a good idea. I'm sure you've been working hard as hell to accomplish reaching the milestone of a stable build for this device. You've got us covered and we'll make sure you have the funds necessary to supplement your efforts in developing for these devices. :):D:):D
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TeknoGodz:
Wow great work yet again!! Thanks so much for your devotion, I will also be donating, however this month with christmas is a bit tight lol
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TeknoGodz:
Yea, I think I would also rather have a more stable 14.1 build that I can use as a DD
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] silentstrand:
I would have to agree, I mean I feel like once the RIL is configured and working effectively you should have a nice Rom. I would be helping in the debugging process but it's so much work backing up my device to work on debugging a system for a few hours then restoring my back up. If I knew how to get the sim card apk working, I could begin messing with the telephony settings that's if this build even has the right drivers for the RIL.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
Ok, I have heard you all loud and clear. I'll refocus onto cm-14.1 until lineage-15.1 begins shipping for the first official Lineage devices.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TeknoGodz:

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anthonykb:
Just donated $100.00

You're doing a lot of hard work. I will be donating more soon. You deserved it. Keep up the excellent efforts [MENTION=7652989]minz1[/MENTION] Next donation will be $200.00. :):D:):D
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jonny30bass:
I'll definitely be donating once RIL and camera works.

Sorry everyone, for the slow update schedule! But I promise, the next update will be worth it ;)

There's a new member of this team, and while he owns a C7, he'll be an extra set of eyes at these issues and stable 14.1 seems to be coming along greatly.

Question

Is this build still unstable?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jonny30bass:
I'm assuming it is. The OP hasn't been updated and minz hasn't reported back yet.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
Alright guys, I think RIL is finally fixed. I can see the data signal indicator, but that's really it. So, it's up to someone else to test the rest of the RIL related stuff, but I think it's mostly fixed. SIM detection works fine. The only wrinkle left is camera, and it's all golden from here on out for cm-14.1. The download link is already updated in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anthonykb:
Thanks for developing for the J7 Perx

This is a more than capable device and it deserves some Lineage love. You keep your word. It's been a windy road but we reach the solutions to these bugs. I can't find the words to express how much the community and I really appreciate how your efforts have produced these amazing works that bless these devices with the freedom and openess of a Lineage OS port. When I get paid I will make your efforts well worth the time by providing you with a monetary compensation to support your future endeavors working with these android devices. Thanks [MENTION=7652989]minz1[/MENTION] for investing your talent in developing Lineage and TWRP. $200.00 is being sent your way when I get the money together. Should be soon. Thanks again. Enjoy your start to 2018. :):D:):D
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] silentstrand:
Awesome man, I'm installing right now. Will start sending you feed back once the device boots with lineage. I'll do whatever i can to help with debugging and whenever you feel the need to build cm-15.0 let me know i'll help with whatever i can.

Thank you man, I'm stoked to have Lineage on the J727P. Keep up the Awesome work, we're lucky to have you as our developer for our phone!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
After some testing, RIL breaks after the 2nd boot, unfortunately. I'm looking into the issue currently and hopefully I can find the cause soon.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anthonykb:
Boost J7 Perx

The call audio must be messed up cause you can't hear it ring when you dial up a number or maybe calling just doesn't work at all and the ticking timer indicates it's ongoing but it isn't placed through. You can hear the dial tones when you press the numbers though. :):D:):D
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:

Hey guys, I have a quick status update. I've had some rather interesting events happen in my life right now, but the bugs are still being figured out. With RIL, we're on the borderline of having it complete, aside from in-call audio which I'll address at a later point. Camera is wonky, but will also be figured out with time. Thanks so much for all of your support, and hopefully this will be done before March at the latest, I'm hoping.

A few things have been changed in the newest release, but here's what you guys want to know: RIL is fixed. The only issue left with that is in-call audio, which I'm planning on leaving alone for a bit. I'm going to work on getting the Camera fix, and from there on it should just be polishing left to do.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] powbam:
Ah crud. Just installed it only to find out the rom is setup for Sprint. Any easy fix I can do on my end to get it to recognize Boost? I'm not a pro (tho I have been rooting and installing roms for years now, so I am quite comfortable hacking around) but decent instructions to guide me should be enough, if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
It *is* boost, but it'll show up as Sprint, as Boost is a sprint MVNO. Try looking for the MVNO slayer to fix this issue.

EDIT: I've found a way to resolve this issue. Virgin Mobile Users, can you run `adb shell getprop ro.boot.carrierid`? If I can get the ID for Virgin we can have all the carriers working well.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TeknoGodz:

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] minz1:
It doesn't quite work that way, 'XAS' is the code for an unlocked device.

The first time I tried to flash this, I used only the boot.img file in the zip....which of course, didn't work and soft-bricked my phone for a night. Little did I know I was supposed to use the entire compressed file instead o.o it's been a while since I've rooted/installed a custom ROM onto a phone I've owned.

I flashed with that successfully using TWRP, flashed Open GApps and booted into Lineage without much trouble. However, I have one rather irritating problem- there's a flickering red border that appears randomly when certain actions are done (I think it has something to do with "show updates on screen" er something like that) I don't know how to disable that, is their a way to turn off the flickering border?
