lineage-15.1-20180930-UNOFFICIAL-dipper

Hey, short update about lineage-15.1-20180930-UNOFFICIAL-dipper

Working:

- Bluetooth Audio

Not working:

- something with the usb port

The USB problem:

I connected my DJI Mavic Pro drone but the DJI App shows me a Phantom drone. Last working condition: MIUI 10 Global Stable ROM V10.0.2.0
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] KaKi87:
What does "dipper" means ? I see that word everywhere...

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] 0n3-70uch:

infrared camera/IR is worked on this rom with face unlock? right
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] thiagoserrao:
Nice work, :)

But i have one question. Is it possible activate the 4G+ cell B3+B7 in this rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] desvariando:
Is it possible to just flash the firmaware rather than the full version?

Does that version include ARB?

lineage-15.1-20181002-UNOFFICIAL-dipper

Very nice. Thx.

I installed this new lineage-15.1-20181002-UNOFFICIAL-dipper last night. I found some bugs in the old version (verified in the new one too).

Working:

- everything like before
- VoLTE and WifiCall (install Magisk Module "VoEnabler")

Not working:

- something with the usb port
- only camera 1 in stock cam app (no way to select camera 2)
- apps like WhatsApp use only camera 2
- camera 2 looks good but after taken the picture it's too bright
- android car
- the notch problem

I attached some screenshots. Some very nice points:

- absolutely no unwanted reboots at the moment

- no lags or hanging apps (only android car)

- crazy fast boot time (much nice than stock MIUI and faster like before version 20181002)

The battery lifetime is ok. It was a little bit better with MIUI. And I need to verify the lifetime with version 20181002.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] 0n3-70uch:
Good point. I will test 4G+ soon (need to drive to cologne :)). I activated VoLTE and WifiCall by using VoEnabler (Magisk Module). Both work well (Provider: T-Mobile/Telekom Germany).

No, you will get problems with the drivers (camera and so on). Best way: flash the .tgz file via Mi Flash Tools.

This version is based on android 8.1 (without ARB). ARB was introduced with android 9.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ninnix96:
Yes i have remove gcam you can install the apk

Now my work its on Notch

im happy of that, thanks for sharing, I have unlock my mi 8 yet :)

I think you have a wrong miui

try to use this:

You must have the suggested version of TWRP or this

You have to be on Miui v10.0.2.0 Stable Global Edition (Oreo) before flashing the Rom.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] monshoal:
Flash through fastboot and download from official site it finally works. However, the play service stopped constantly

I decide to flash back the miui and waiting for devs’ next move. thanks for your suggestion.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ninnix96:
Can someone try to install this stock Miui camera port made by me? my intent is to use both cameras in the ROM.

For now I have removed only all mandatory dependencies from other libraries so it will probably not work, soon I will make a magisk module or a flashable zip with everything.

If it won't be installed as normal APK, can you tried putting in system/priv-app/MiuiCamera, giving it permission rw-r-r, and after reboot it

If I unstand you correctly, I need to extract the vendor files from the device using this code: ~/android/lineage/device/xiaomi/dipper/extract-files.sh

The vendor files from "TheMuppets" are not necessary right?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Just an idea... Could you set it to change a registry entry to change the image that is loaded rather than changing the actual image?

This would also allow two different images to be loaded. This would remove the need for swapping files and should in theory be faster, although the code may be slightly more complicated.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen]
"MSBitmap"="\\windows\\welcomehead.96.png"
"MSTimeout"=dword:00007530
"CarrierBitmap"="\\windows\\welcomehead.96.png"
"CarrierTimeout"=dword:00007530

EDIT: I've just written a simple app that should change "MSBitmap" and "CarrierBitmap" values.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] werD:
Thanks Good call, i didn't realize it was a reg setting as well :o

Next version is going great thus far. I came here to release it, but i'm going to wait and do some registry hacking now instead ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] werD:
1.0 Released

Splash Screen Randomizer 1.0. Swap for a random splash screen at startup

Updated From 0.7.5 to version 1.0 on 4-11-08

If you had 0.7.5 you should uninstall it first and delete the directory called "SplashScreenRandomizerSetup" in your program files(you don't have to do that from 1.0 on)

Changes From 0.7.5 to 1.0

You can now preview the next boot splash or randomize a new one from settings

You can pick an individual splash screen to use(this will remove the randomizer link from startup until the "single file" option is unchecked)

You can now reset the picture back to the original setting by pressing the "Reset"

The splash are no longer copied from the splash folder to the windows folder. The registry values that point to the file in the windows folder are now changed. This does improve speed a bit Credit:l3v5y

The OpenFile dialog has been slimmed down and tweaked a bit to allow context sensitive clicking(i.e. "right click" gives "Enter Folder, Select Folder, and Select File"respectively)

Quirks or Issues

The current Welcome splash screen is replaced(instead of backed up) when the program first runs Resolved in 1.0(splash files are no longer copied or replaced)

The assembly incorrectly show 1.0 actual version is 0.7.5 Resolved in v 1.0 ;)

Future Thoughts(Feel Free to add your own)

1.0 is here: Depending on the feedback is where I take this one. We may get a bit more dynamic with them or provide static watermarks or we may be done :p that's really up to you guys

Credits

OpenNetCf I used their Registry library and got 1.0 converted from IO to Registry in no time http://www.opennetcf.com/

You can download the updates and read the rest of the story here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2101246#post2101246
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
I've used the .NET CF 2.0 registry functionality which is built into most ROMs and so needs no extra files at all.

The problem with the registry is that I haven't yet found out why it won't read the timeout values. By default they are set so high that only the MSBitmap can be shown.

I have one point to make though, BMP files can be used as well as pngs! They can be anywhere, and can be any size (although a 10MB file might take too much RAM) but only the top left area is shown with one pixel of the file being one pixel of the screen. Undersized images are placed in the top left of the screen.

The load order for the two files is:

MSBITMAP is loaded and displayed

Waits for time set by MStimeout

CarrierBitmap is loaded and displayed'

Waits for time set by Carriertimeout

Overlays MSBITMAP on top of CarrierBitmap (only observed if msBitmap is smaller than carrierBitmap)

Today Screen loads

Changing the timeouts/both registry keys could allow for greater variation in the splash screens.

I'll try and work out why I can't get the reg keys for timeout to work, and I shall also see if transparency in the *.pngs has any effect when the two splash sreens are overlayed.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] werD:
lol, I was up late last night, i guess i should have dug deeper. cf 2.0 has a lot built in (edit:was hiding in Microsoft.Win32; identical code one less file good call) :)

I knew MSBitmap was the one getting displayed with the default timeout(or no timeout values at all), but I was setting CarrierBitmap as well in case of some device oddities or differing oem implementations. Please do let me know when you figure out the magic numbers for the dual splash screens ;) i'll gladly open up the option to use multiple randoms or one random and one constant or whatever else we can scheme up.

I'm going to enable bmp in the filter as well, i reckon I'll probably be cleaning up some things from my sunrise coding session too ;), I'll swap the reg calls over to the built in classes, I also need to speed up the settings classes that call and save data (i haven't had a chance to look too deep into the code yet but I already know i can speed it up significantly), Ive also got some more great new features planned out and in the works so stay tuned.

Again, i appreciate your input please l3v5y keep it up.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
What programming language is this written in?

As far as I can tell, the timeouts are in hundredths of seconds, but 30,000 (which is the default value for everything I've checked) seems too long! However, it all depends on how long the ROM takes to boot up. After both timeouts have ended, the MSBitmap is overlayed on top of the CarrierBitmap, so it doesn't matter if the ROM takes longer to boot up than the two timeouts.

I'm guessing it's really obvious, but how do you get the file location from the open file dialog? I have managed to get the dialog do everything BUT give me the file location!!!

I think I have managed to get the timeouts to load/be set properly although I need to test it on my prophet and not just the emulator...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] werD:
This is in vb.net with some C# mixed in from the openfiledialog and csettings. I dont have much trouble bouncing from one to the other but I tend to use vb.net the most. the dialog had me a little twisted too at first but it's the FileName property. I also added a constructor parameter for directory search and public folder property which made things pretty easy.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Well... I have managed to change the timeout settings from my little front end!

Thanks for the FileName tip it works! :D

For anyone that's interested, the source and the .exe are attached.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] werD:
changing the values is no problem. i was just wondering what some good timings were to balance them out. Imaging madness atm over here, was hopin for a short cut ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
The timings depend on the speed of the boot up process. I'm not being very helpful am I?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] werD:
All input is appreciated ;) I did a lot of optimizing yesterday and merged the code base for both apps involved with splash screen randomizer(the small module that runs at startup and the settings app that does the heavy lifting). Ive added some new features but in the interest of not overwhelming you guys with almost daily releases, i'd like to get some input on what some other wants might be.

The main feature i've added to the next build so far has been the ability to use ANY major image format(.bmp,.gif,.jpg,.jpeg,png,.tif) as a splash screen. I've been digging it so far, but I was thinking the ability to add a string of text or a logo as a watermark might make it nicer. It could also allow cooks to include multiple splashes with credits and build text without having to do a whole lot of editing(a batch update watermarker maybe?).

..who knows though, I need to focus a bit more on getting WordStreamer to a 1.0 stage, so i'd like to pack in a few lasting features with this next release

Check out the attached pic for a preview of what's to come so far in the next release :D

Edit: latest build is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=383838
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Does the splash screen system in WM allow for those formats? How are you going to get multiple (more than two) splashscreens?

EDIT: Should've tried it first! the conversion is working well, although it's not too clear what to do...
