[Galaxy S6 General] Alkis05:
In the interest of bringing convergence of linux operating system in phones and desktops after canonical abandoned the project, the halium.org project and ubports took the baton. Halium project's objective is to create a standard way to wrap all the android code necessary for a OS to talk to hardware so one can build a linux operating system on top of android (no java code getting in the way). It could be used by any number of OS's like sailfish, ubuntu touch or new mobile distributions, like archlinux on the phone (yeah, I'm an arch guy). It is based on the hybris library, whitch is kind of a wrap so the glibc can be interface with android libc (called bionic, which is a little bit off standard).

A lot of you know all that (specially the ones likely to help), I just giving some contest in case someone it's not tunned in.

So I'm on the endevour of porting it to galaxy S6 taking advantage of the work of TeamNexus (which is a working in progress), whom work on the device specific code made it possible to undertake this task and LinageOS for the rest of android code (Thank you both!).

So, for anyone who wants to coordinate efforts to make this port, or for anyone who wants to help me troubleshoot some of the problems I'm having, fell free to come aboard. Here are useful links:

Halium.org - Project homepage

porting documentation

TeamNexus git repository

Local Manifests: device code and repo manifest.

Here is a patch on all the modifications I had to do to so the device specific code

fixup-mountpost for the zerofltexx device (It is used to modify the fstab file so systemd can mount it without udev) apperantly there might be a format error on my part here. That is what the devs said, but I can't figure it out. I followed the instructions in the documentation... (I didn't wanted to push it with questions.)

progress so far:

- [x] Manifest with kernel, vendor, device tree

- [x] Setup kernel defconfig for hybris-boot (using mer-kernel scripts and zerofltexx kernel as reference)

- [x] Fix mountpoints

- [p] Build

- - [x] systemimage

- - [x] mkbootimg

- - [ ] hybris-boot

- [ ] Flash and test with reference rootfs

-	- [ ] Get LXC working

-	- [ ] Get wifi working

-	- [ ] Halium tests

--	- [ ] test_vibrate

--	- [ ] test_lights

--	- [ ] test_vibrate

--	- [ ] test_hwcomposer

Testing rootfs:

This first post is going to be updated with any information needed for porting Halium for galaxy s6 from source and its progress.

I will post the problems I had in another post, but I got to get going now. So I will just post the make error I'm getting

any update? I want to give it a try
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xanthil:
Hi,

So I've been browsing this thread so far as I'm interested in picking up this phone and was just wondering if the distortion issues with the camera have been fixed yet? I was reading that there was a fix released by Sony, but then I go onto their forums and found some recent posts of some users posting screenshots of distortion/camera issues again. Kind of concerning as I'm planing to go pick up this phone as a phone plan this upcoming week.

Aside from the distortion issues, are there any other persisting issues with this phone? How is the sound quality/speakers on this phone? Both earbuds/earphones and speakers (I'm coming from a HTC M8) . Also what kind of battery life would I be expecting from an average daily use? (some moderate gaming like fate grand order, pokemon go, web-browsing, music, photos, brief videos- youtube, calls and texts)

I'm really concerned with the distortion issues regarding the camera as I need reliable quality photos and was wondering if this is still a persisting issue? Tossing up between this phone and a HTC U11, but I'm leaning more towards the Sony Xperia XZ Premium.

Thanks for the input in advance.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Artyomska:
Distortion issue isn't an issue anymore. The problem was finally fixed after the Oreo update. Now the only distortion is the wide angle one (which is unavoidable mostly, because that's how the lenses are)(also it's not an issue, and it's something you will find on other phones with wide angle lenses also. Not only that, but it's rarely noticeable).

Battery is pretty good. I constantly get 6-7 hours of SOT without any tweaks(WI-FI and Location always on, some little casual gaming, lots of youtube and internet browsing, duolingo everyday) (with tweaks I got 9) and I usually charge my phone every two days.

Speakers sound very good, but they aren't too loud (noticeable especially in loud enviroments). The headphones sound quality is very good in my opinion, and I use my phone with a pair of M40X, a pair of CX-300II and a pair of MDR-100ABN. Never had any problems or complained about the awful quality.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] nevenx:
no, you dont have to worry about distortion anymore, its fixed. Now you got only little distortion, but thats wide angle lens. I had 10h sot on mine XZP, but average is 6-9 sot for me.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Lazaros_K:
Here are some photos with the distortion fix on and off. There is no need to worry. You might also need to wait for the new Xperias at MWC. There are rumors for a 4k Phone with small bezels.

HELP! "device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device"

I guess that's a ROM problem (indian verison I think), but anyway, I just can't use the phone, it's like the touchscreen stopped working, but when I turn on screen and unlock it (put password) quickly (~3s) I can unlock (everything work), but after this.... no response, but the buttons work (volume, power and home)! So, it's on stock ROM, never was rooted or developer mode was activated, so I can't flash it by QFIL "Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Fail:Invalid directory name", and at ADB "device unauthorized.

Is there any benefit to flash the new driver?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] SaskFellow:
Generally, the drivers should increase GPU performance a bit, due to better coding, may also add support for things that original drivers didn't have. You may also see smoother system animations, better game performance and better benchmark results.

After I flashed the drivers, I noticed things looked smoother and it was a bit more responsive. Of course results may vary.

[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] phamanhvu01:
This driver is only for the Qualcomm version of the Note 4. Since yours is Exynos, you'll have to manually find or make your own. Which means flashing this on your phone will most likely lead to a loop

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] en5:
Hello.

I recently purchased an unlocked AT&T model V10 and am using it on Metro PCS.

The phone is having a hard time making and receiving calls. It will take a long time for an outbound call to begin (or will not even go through after a lengthy wait), and many calls are not being received and going straight to voicemail.

The problem and severity is intermittent, sometimes it will work without issue and other times no calls can be made or received for some time.

The data connection appears to be solid whenever it is being used, it just appears there is a problem with the phone trying to negotiate from a data connection to a GSM cellular connection.

Any input would be greatly appreciated as I have been searching around and have not had any luck. I've tried reseating the SIM, factory resets, etc.

Thank you.

MAybe wrong rom on it? Did you try reinstall software with lg bridge?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] en5:
I'm running the factory AT&T install, so no custom rom - I will try LG Bridge and see if there are any available updates.

Thanks for the tip, I haven't done much with LG phones before - I am certainly open to rooting the phone / trying a custom ROM to see if that will sort things out. It just seems like either a setting (I tried all different APN settings to no avail) or a software issue as it does work, just not consistently.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klemen241:

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] en5:
Thanks, I noticed that I was having trouble finding an update past H90021w online and the phone shows no update available (I was previously on H90020j).

So now Wi-Fi calling is an option, however it does not let me enable it, it just sits on "Processing" until eventually it gives me an error connecting with the network. I turned it on manually through the SVC menu and it shows it as enabled in the settings, but I don't think it is actually working as it doesn't give any indication as to whether or not it s on a Wi-Fi call.

Looks like I'm running out of options and may need to go with a different phone.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] cpvm:
I think that the quality is little bit better using manual mode.

Enviado desde mi LG-V400 mediante Tapatalk
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RobbH:
Agreed. I find setting a manual shutter speed cuts down on the oversharpening that usually occurs with low light shots. I use 1/30 second for most indoor shots. The photos are usually under-exposed and require some tweaking in Google Photos or your editor of choice. I'll take that any day, instead of automatic mode's tendency to over-expose and clip the highlights.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Dishe:
I've got to admit, I just got this phone today and was hoping it would be at least as good camera-wise as the Nextbit Robin it was replacing. I didn't think the Nextbit's camera was so amazing, but with the right manual controls I was able to nail decent shots with it.

This, I feel like the colors are oddly oversaturated and the sharpening is ugly as sin. I did also find that switching to manual helped a bit, at least with the sharpening, but what's with the clipping highlights so early? Does this camera sensor just suck when it comes to dynamic range? Or is it just bad software?

My phone hasn't had a chance to update yet so I was hoping new software might have come along to address the shortcomings, which is how I ended up in this thread.

Are there other camera apps which might improve things? I tried Open Camera, but it seems to just behave the same as the stock app with a different UI. Has anyone tried the ported Google Camera app?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RobbH:
I'm resurrecting this thread in order to address your original question, which is now irrelevant to you. Meanwhile, you've demonstrated (in this thread and others) that the G5+ does, indeed, have a capable camera module that's hamstrung by lousy software. But this is for those of us who are still wimps and not yet willing to unlock the bootloader.

As others have said (and I have too) just switching the stock camera to "pro mode" seems to reduce the oversharpening effects, but only slightly. Setting the shutter speed to 1/30 also helps in some low light situations.

However, my best luck has been with the Camera FV-5 app, which I bought years ago. In addition to allowing much more manual control, it also can be set to save images in .png format, and that seems to bypass more of the default image processing. (Unfortunately, it also means no EXIF data, so no info about exposure is recorded.)

Setting Camera FV-5 to save black and white images (Settings/photo encoding settings/color channels) also produces some strikingly sharp images that I find very pleasing. I'm sure many will not be interested in that option.

Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that Moto is now advertising the G5+ as having the "Most advanced camera in its class"?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] RobbH:
One more app worth trying, whether rooted or not: FreeDCam. It's free and open source. It's possible to turn off denoising, resulting in a much sharper image. Some sort of noise reduction is still needed for most low-light images, though. Even without root, I'm getting much better photos now. For those who are rooted and have access to camera2 api, raw images are supported.

edit: after more experimentation, my enthusiasm for FreeDCam is waning, at least on unrooted phones. I think it still has a lot to offer those who have rooted. And it still produces incredibly sharp images in good light. But in low light, the noise is severe and I haven't found an effective way to deal with it. For now (until I root) it's either the stock camera in "pro" mode or Camera FV-5 for low light shots.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] LustStarrr:
I was disappointed with the camera too when I first got mine, but I've recently discovered it's not the camera itself, but merely the software.

Cut the outer plastic and metal covering of usb cable.

Strip a small portion of the black and green wires carefully preferably using a needle to avoid the copper wires to be torn.

Then plug the usb jack into the pc and phone and keep mi flash tool open.

Then touch both the wires(shortcircuit the green and black) using a needle or blunt edge of knief for about 4-5 sec and then remove.

The phone must be in 9008 mode now with COM port open in miflash tool
