[Galaxy View Android Development] javadahut:
This device doesn't have a huge following, so I have been trying to build it myself. That way when you move on to other devices, I can at least keep my local machine going.

But I keep getting errors on build, so I wanted to just double check that I have all my source trees correct.

@deadman96385 , Could you post your local_manifest? Or, if I've missed it, point me in the direction of where it might be located?

Appreciate the help.

Hi, I just installed this on my GVWIFI and I can’t load AT&T TV. I tried side loading it and downloading it from the play store. It launches and I’m able to sign in. But after I sign in the app crashes. Is there anything I’m doing wrong? Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?
[Galaxy View Android Development] jorikz:
Great work on this rom!
[Galaxy View Android Development] jorikz:
I hope you'll keep working on updates :)
[Galaxy View Android Development] techbigidiot:
Brightness on the newest build doesn't work, neither does the LiveDisplay automatic brightness feature. I know the lack of light sensor support is breaking LiveDisplay, but that seems to be having a knock on effect by breaking the brightness slider/controls in both Settings and the Status Bar. I used Velis Auto Brightness to regain some manual control of brightness.

Otherwise great work.
[Galaxy View Android Development] mrbogusbaxter:
Directv/ATT liteally just pushed out some drastic security / app updates that has been knocking most side-loaders out completely. My DTV app has been shut out of virtually every piece of equipment including ATT /Directv own branded (T677A) GVIEW.

Really really agitated.
[Galaxy View Android Development] jorikz:
Is there a way to revert back to the stock rom?
[Galaxy View Android Development] steenlys:
I am struggling to install this version on my Galaxy View - The Android part goes fine, and can boot and seems to work, but if I download Google Play package and installs it, it just goes into various errors when booting.

Does anyone have an (older I guess) working zip file with Google services that works with this Android version ?
[Galaxy View Android Development] jorikz:
I had the same problem, until I tried the Mini version of Opengapps, works just fine.
[Galaxy View Android Development] steenlys:
I was 100% sure I tried all the versions, but seems like I had not tried Mini.

When booting it comes with error about speech, and also it failed when setting up during initial setup dialogue, but I got it working by not logging in during setup, and just do that afterwards, and now it seems to be working, so thanks :)
[Galaxy View Android Development] jongh22:
How fix Sound bug??
[Galaxy View Android Development] DrasticHarm:
Today I successfully installed the Rom on my Father's tablet. App support for the old android version of the Samsun Rom became bad.

My father is visually impaired so keeping this enormous tablet alive is very important to him.

Thank you @deadman96385 for your efforts.

PS: I would give you a donation, but the donate button is not visible in the OP.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Altomb:
Hi @deadman96385 , I do not know if you have still an interest in the Galaxy View. I had some time to kill today and I think I found that the panel driver (drivers/video/exynos/decon_7580/panels/ltm184hl01_lcd_ctrl.c) seems to have been replaced by a version not suppoting auto_brightness. You cannot see it in your kernel tree because you are using a nougat copy that already have the change in it. IF you check in the exynos7580 repo, you can see the change happeing when they imported the nougat tree. Since the Galaxy View is the only one probably using that panel (CONFIG_PANEL_LTM184HL01=y), nobody noticed.

Also anybodythat tested the last ROM can check if the scratchy sound only happens with mono files/sources?
[Galaxy View Android Development] themaser-inc:
Hey @Altomb, I don't know the exact reason, but with the newer ROM version, the sound worked properly only for the Netflix app on my Galaxy View. Therefore, I went back to the old version (even though it's a little annoying that I can only charge while it's powered off, but the sound is more important to me).

However, I'm really thankful to all of you, for making the tablet still usable at all :)
[Galaxy View Android Development] osupike99:
Can someone please provide a step by step guide on installing this? I cannot seem to get it working at all. Tried everything
[Galaxy View Android Development] osupike99:
I am basically stuck on installing the recovery.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Droidman666:
For those who tried using this, how bad is the audio distortion problem in the latest build? Is it mildly annoying or downright maddening? Are there any other issues worth mentioning?

I must to say, it kind of angers me that the author didn't have any respect in his own work to even bother to fix this one thing (that wasn't even present in the earlier builds) before he left the project for good. I was so looking forward to updating, but not when I must choose between broken charging and broken audio. Really, what was the point?
[Galaxy View Android Development] themaser-inc:
In my case the audio distortion was very annoying. For all the apps I've tested, the sound only worked for the Netflix app without problems (I have no idea why).

Anyway, I'm using the old build, it's running steady and battery life is good. The only negative thing is that I need to shutdown the tablet to charge it.

The new build was no option for me, since I use the tablet mainly to watch videos and I don't want to be restricted to Netflix for that.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Droidman666:
Thanks for the warning. I'll definitely avoid the latest build then, even though I mostly use the tablet for reading (who needs a tiny Kindle with a screen like this, right?) and web browsing. I'm unsure about the previous build, though. The charging problem seems like a major nuisance, especially when I often have to recharge while still using the tablet... Would you say that the benefits of updating from 5.2 to 8.1 were still worth the hassle? I really appreciate your input here.
[Galaxy View Android Development] themaser-inc:
Well I think it depends on the way you use the tablet. I updated because I use it to watch Amazon Prime, Netflix an other video apps often. Netflix doesn't support Android 5 anymore, therefore I was "forced" to update.

All other streaming and reading apps I use were still working with Android 5 (though probably not forever).

The point with loading while using is the only downside I found until now, because that's just not possible.

Battery life and everything else I use works fine (I think the camera is not working either, but I never use it. I don't care to much about the automatic screen brightness which is also not working).

However without the Netflix topic, I would have kept Android 5.

[Galaxy View Android Development] deadman96385:
I have updated the OP with a new download link sorry about that. There will be a new build coming soon hopefully.
[Galaxy View Android Development] deadman96385:
New build in OP, sound distortion has been temporarily fixed by reverting to the old builds kernel but with the charging fix included. As well as the last Android 8.1 security patch level of Oct 2021.

@Altomb Thank you for the tip, I will work on adding support for auto brightness into the newer driver version.
[Galaxy View Android Development] jlafu:
I thank you for your effort.

Finally I updated your latest build. (lineage-15.1-20220921-UNOFFICIAL-gvwifi)

But when I connect Wi-Fi, it crashes and automatically reboot over and over again. :<
[Galaxy View Android Development] deadman96385:
Oof sorry about that I forgot to include the GPS/Wifi change that fixes that. There is now a Sept 22 build in OP with it fixed.
[Galaxy View Android Development] jlafu:
Thank you very much.

It's working well with good sound and no charging issue.

Why is USB-OTG not working ??????????????????????
[Galaxy View Android Development] pheonyxe_skye:
I'm super new to this. Just got a Samsung Galaxy View for free so I don't see any point in not trying. Just checking to make sure I understand. This should update the device from 5.0 to a more useful version? Hoping to use the device as a smart home hub.
[Galaxy View Android Development] sergueidell:
Yes
[Galaxy View Android Development] sergueidell:
Hi,

I have followed the steps but I should have missed something. When I flash with the Lineage OS using TWRP, the flash is OK. I then reboot my Galaxy View. After the restart the screen remains black. Anyone any clue?

Thank you
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
My neighbor gave me an used Galaxy view. I did a hard reset yesterday and now I want to flash this custom rom and make it ready for my little daughter.

What exactly is the problem with the camera? Are there some bugs or isn't it working at all? My daughter needs a camera. Is there any other good rom out you can recommend for this big tablet?

Edit:

I have now switched on developer mode, USB debugging setting and OEM unlock.

with Odin i can upload TWRP and restart the tablet, get into TWRP.

now i have wiped system/data/art cache, installed boot.bin image and gapps. after reboot the screen is just blank. luckily i can get back to boot into TRWP mode.

what am I doing wrong? also battery is broken, i have already ordered a new one

what exactly is meant by "Install a compatible Recovery"? do I need another file to flash first? where to get it and how to flash?
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
Looks like we ran into the same problem. Could you finally fix it?

Maybe after flash we need to factory reset again before it can boot?
[Galaxy View Android Development] sergueidell:
I have tried several times. I was not able to fix it.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
are you still using the galaxy view now? if yes, custom rom or stock rom android 5? have you also tried lineage 13 from deadman?

with backup i could get it running again. checked with rootchecker, now I'm ready to try again Lineage 13 or 15.1. not sure if I should try again. my wife told me to just leave it, but she doesnt understand whats the problem with old android 5
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
finally i got it running. set install and used the ZIP file completely. last time i installed the boot.img from inside the zip file, maybe that was the problem.

first check the camera, it starts but is only black. is there any chance to get it working later? like sideload the android 5 driver or whatever?

then i tried to install gapps (arm 8.1 full), but TWRP gave me error 70 because of low space on system volume, but with wipe and resize it could finish installation, then again restart and i got a black screen.

tried once again. this time formatted data partition, installed rom, then went to repair and resized system, then installed mindthegapps. finally succeded and i can see the galaxy again.

THANKS very much for your effort deadman
[Galaxy View Android Development] blackstorm90:
Mate, quick question can you tell me if Zoom works? im thinking in installing this as well because Zoom doesn't support android 5.0, but if zoom doesn't work i guess i wouldn't do all this installing, i just care about watching the room don't care if the camera doesn't work well.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
Sorry for the late answer, but I havent been at home earlier.

I could install and start zoom client without any problems besides the not working camera
[Galaxy View Android Development] blackstorm90:
thank you very much mate!
[Galaxy View Android Development] DrasticHarm:
I use this software successfully tot keep my parents's tablet alive, so thank you for that!

They just reported me that whatsapp notified them that support for the devicen will end in a few days. Does anyone know if this is correct, since the WhatsApp site tells that it supports android 5 and up and LOS 15.1 is android 8.1.

I'm confused.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
I think this is just a warning. Official page even says that 5.0 is supported. Some years ago I was using WA on WindowsPhone and they stopped support. After this time you could not install it but still go on using for more than 6 months if it was already installed. even installing the APK was working in that period.

You can report if its still working. support for older devices will end tomorrow.
[Galaxy View Android Development] asieml:
I'm so glad it worked so well.

With the installation of magisk and modification of build prop,

Korean OTT service is now available. (ex> tiving)

Resolved by bypassing rooting detection.

Thank you very much to deadman96385 ~!
[Galaxy View Android Development] DrasticHarm:
Update: Whatsapp still works on this Rom.
[Galaxy View Android Development] DrasticHarm:
I might need some assistance with the following issue. My parent's galaxy view has served them with this rom for quite a long time. At this moment it will not boot/start and shows the message "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". I'm sure my parent's haven't tampered with the device, they are elderly people just able to use the tablet ;-)

Already searched for resolutions, but no luck yet. Any pointer to get rid of this message would be very helpful.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
I had the same problem after installing google family link for my daughter.

was a bit hard, but could get it running again. the old download menu still works. you have to flash OEM firmware with odin first, then get twrp and reflash lineage. took me several tries, but I succeeded two times until I noticed, thtat family link is the problem. not my daughter got a new google account just for that galaxy view
[Galaxy View Android Development] DrasticHarm:
Gee thanks for this, that's very helpful. Where can I find the OEM firmware for the device?

German is no problem for me, so I found one, installed it. Now struggling to get the backup installed. Still getting closer to resolve the problem.
[Galaxy View Android Development] DrasticHarm:
Still one problem left which I cannot resolve (yet). The amount of memory left is so low that even updating google play services fails. Trying to find a way to remove default apps from the lineage installation, still no luck.

Any help to get a working tablet is appreciated.

After a clean installation of the lineage Rom the device has 158MB of storage left

EDIT: resolved the problem. I didn't download from OP, but had my own copy from a few years ago.
[Galaxy View Android Development] DrasticHarm:
Sorry to keep bothering you. It bothers me that the tablet before reinstallation contained more apps than I am able to install now due to very low memory. :-(

I already adviced my parents to buy a new tablet.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
in my first try I had to change partition size to fit google apps, but it was not working. later I have only installed google nano or mircro package, that went fine. I got an 64gb SD card from my old mobile and its running fine. my daugther has a lot of apps installed
[Galaxy View Android Development] DrasticHarm:
Solved! I downloaded the samsung rom from a different location. Now the tablet can use all available memory again.

A new problem arose by the way. Sometimes the tablet gives a black screen and is unresponsive. The only way to revive it is to press power and both volume buttons simultaneously. Then it will boot in download mode. From there it is possible to boot to system again.

Can I do a memory check to test for defective blocks?
[Galaxy View Android Development] Kenny7:
7s Power and one of the volume buttons, (maybe vol+) will reboot. need that sometimes after charging and idle mode.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Altomb:
@deadman96385 : If you still have your Galaxy View, I found that the BH1733 driver will start to work if you echo 1 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/inputX/enable (where X is the virtual input of the light sensor. Otherwise the function that should be called by the delayed worker never gets called and so the data is never retrieved.
[Galaxy View Android Development] Altomb:
fimc-is-device-flite.c also uses delayed work during its probe phase. Is this used for the SR261? It could be linked to the SR261 not working.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cafe_Bagels:
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any of you know ZTE was going to provide any software update on their stock rom. From what I read, it does seems to be very unclear considering what's happening with the US government. So far, I haven't rooted my phone yet since my old LG G3 started to have wireless connectivity issues after I flashed a few roms on it and I continued to have those issues after I put the stock LG rom, so I'm a little bit scared to try again. Still, I'm wondering if any of you guys knows if there's a good rom out there that can work fine and that has the lasted security patch. If not, I'll probably think about switching phone, since I don't really like the idea to use a phone that's unsupported.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
There won't be any more Nougat updates as it's up to the ROM (Nougat B10 for my global model) where it bridges to Oreo and now Oreo even if it's released or leaked won't get updates.

Just my opinion but can't see how it could go any other way.

I guess for longevity, all you can look at is if any custom ROMs are long term and bug free. I think all custom ROMs for Axon 7 have at least one proper bug which affects calls or camera. One reason I stay stock.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cafe_Bagels:
Thanks for the answer.

At least I'm not the only one to feel that this is what's going to happen. I love the Axon 7, but if it doesn't get updated, I should probably go for the Samsung Galaxy A8 since my carrier has a pretty good deal on it (15$ CAD over 24 months). The Nokia 7 doesn't seems like a really good phone as well with updates directly from Google. I think I'll have to shop a little bit.

Unofficial build ?

You need to take this up with the developer since you appear to have a cross-port of an officially unsupported build. Did you port it yourself? Did you just flash it and hope for the best? Personally, I have gotten away with that once or twice, myself :) The other important question to ask would be WHY, other than aesthetics, do you feel the need to change this setting? The thing either works on your device or it does not.

I got one of these phones, i bought it today at a walmart

removed the att sim card and then I powered it on to check it out. I have not connected it to the internet yet.

My idea is to use the phone outside the US, with a carrier from another country.

I checked ebay and unlock codes are crazy, like 30dollars.

Is there any other place i can get a cheaper option to carrier unlock the phone?
