Havoc 2.0 (Android Pie) on NX595J

Hi everybody, just sharing my experience since I've seen that lot of you had issues with Android 9.0 GSI's. I'm on a NX595J by the way. Now I'm running Havoc 2.0 (Android 9.0)

The only bugs I've found so far are about the ambient display and the vocal notes that won't play on the call speaker (but on the main speaker) even if the proximity sensor detects your face close to your phone and shuts the display down, but as I've read it is a common bug across all the 9.0 GSI's (if I'm wrong and anybody knows how to fix these, please let me know).

so basically, here's what I did:

-Started from Stock ROM 1.11.

-Flashed TWRP via flashboot.

-Flashed latest TWRP as an image

-Flashed Project Treble 1.0 (IMPORTANT: I've tried a million times to use the 1.2 version but NO rom will boot with that, no matter how hard I tried)

-Flashed Havoc 2.0 img

-Flashed gapps

-Flashed Magisk

-Used the TWRP file manager to reach Vendor/lib/vndk-sp and deleted this folder

-Foreced re-sign of boot image with the tool in TWRP Reboot menu

No other patches or jibjabs or anything else to be flashed or to be done, that's just it.

The system started smoothly and quickly, with no major bug at all. GPS works just perfeclty, quick and stable. I have all the audio working with a wonderful volume (much higher than it used to be with stock roms), video recording works, youtube works. Only, I had to set my APN manually (but that's probably because I use a minor virual carrier sim card).

So far I'm just trying to figure out if actually the battery performance is a little poor, but so far it's just an impression, I'll have to use it longer in order to really find out.

Summarizing: a few minor bugs (I can live without ambient dispaly, maybe the voice notes bug is more annoying for me) but nothing that impacts usability of the phone. Amazing features, amazing UE, lots of possible customizations and useful features. I love this GSI. I also wanted to try Benzo and Pixel experience GSIs but so far I'm enjoying Havoc too much to take it out of my phone!

EDIT: Another bug which is common to other 9.0 GSI's is that MTP is not possible. I don't find it such a big deal since if I really need to transfer data via USB I can do it via TWRP anyway :)

Which version of havoc you used?

Did you test NFC as a banking payment? Thanks
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mal00mbra:
Hi. I used this image: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...1027-GSI-ARM64-Aonly-Official.img.xz/download over Project Treble 1.0 (Oreo) vendor zip.

I can't tell you about NFC because I never use it :( If I find a chance to test it I will let you know.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] surfer30:
You mean this version Havoc-OS-v2.0-20181027-GSI-ARM64-Aonly-Official.img.xz?

I have questions about two steps of installation by you

1. Why you flashed TWRP twice. First using flashboot command, second to newest version? Can't you flashed at once latest? (Which one version of TWRP you used?)

2. After flashed havoc gsi you didn't have to flash kernel permissive patcher? From my experience it is necessary for creating vendor partition.

I have Nubia Z17 (NX563J). So I have to start from Chinese ROM because global didn't exist. Thanks
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mal00mbra:
Yes, probably version 3.2.3.1 of TRWP would fit just fine. I just thought the most up to date version would perform better but with no particular reason. Anyway I'm on TWRP 3.2.3-3 by NFound.

No, I didn't flash the permissive kernel patcher, I just flashed the Project treble 1.0 (Oreo) and then the GSI without gapps (the one with gapps gave me "device not certified" issue so I wanted to save myself the bother of registering the device). Then the gapps and magisk. And that's it. I don't know if it is the same on NX563J anyway.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] surfer30:
Could you give a link for this TWRP 3.2.3-3?

I gave a quick glance to Pixel Experience as well, just to give it a try. Nice and clean, works fine. It gaves the same audio issue as the Havoc GSI. I didn't try to apply the workaround since I was not going to keep it, but I guess that the same solution applies. It has the same fresh look as the Havoc but much much less features and customization tweaks. So if you're up for a lean clean rom, that's good for you. If you are a fan of gadget and extreme customization then go for the Havoc.

I also tried to install Benzo, but I couldn't make it work. It stays stucks on the start wizard on the "checking information" screen. I din't spend much time trying to solve the issue, it might be simple to workaround but I flashed benzo just out of curiosity so I didn't care and just restored my Havoc backup :D :D
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxMatrix:
well, I have a moto g3(2015). I recently unloocked the bootloader, no problem. rooted it, no problem. I installed lineage os, no problem(my device even starts). But now, when I restore my TWRP backup files it gets stuck on the bootloader unlock screen i.e. bootlooped.

NOTE : SInce ,my phone didn't had enough space, I made my TWRP backup on my pc.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
What partitions do you restore? And which ROM (stock or custom) were you on when you took the twrp backup?

Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxMatrix:
I was the stock os when I did the backup. The partitions I backed up were system, system image, data, cache and boot.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
And which partitions are you trying to restore now? Any partition restoring would lead you to bootloop, it's obvious because the ROMs are different.

TWRP isn't designed for these purposes, the Nandroid backups are meant to be restored full. There are exceptions, like if you can restore /data if you're on the same ROM!; but it'll almost certainly bootloop if you do it while on different ROM.

You can use apps like Titanium Backup to take apps+data across ROMs.

Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxMatrix:
So does this means that backup is useless now? Or is there some way I can still restore all those files
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
You can use Titanium backup to restore apps+data directly from Nandroid backups. Just go to menu>restore from Nandroid backup and select the backup. The only requirement is that the backup must be inside internal storage/TWRP/Backups/<device id>/ (The default directory where Nandroid gets saved).

Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorfs10:
Try to wipe data, cache, dalvik and system and restore just system, data and boot. Restoring system image caused bootloop to me.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
Thanks, that could be the reason. I forgot to outline this possibility.

[MENTION=9426622]MaxMatrix[/MENTION] you can try this [emoji115]. This shall take you back to stock ROM and I hope it works. If you're trying to setup linage or any other custom ROM, you can use the TiBu method which I described. I originally assumed you were trying to switch to a custom ROM and didn't think you were trying to return to stock, apologies for that.

Has anyone noticed a significant difference between the August security update that released today Build CRG9 and the July security update that released recently. Just seems like bug fixes to me, but knowing Samsung they can always add a few small feature updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] black96ss:
What bug fixes did you notice? Its probably just a patch I'm betting. I'm actually surprised we got a security update thats only a month old lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Donnyohs:
The glitches I started getting after the July security update were issues with bluetooth connections with my car, since it would think it was in a call but playing music.. havent had that since, I used to have certain apps crash, that's stopped.. and I also had issues with wireless charging where it would randomly turn always on display on, which was never enabled. But I havent had those issues once since the August update.. but it's kinda nice just being a month behind with the security updates. Maybe Samsung's gonna start giving us updates more frequently... one can hope

My phone is Redmi note 5 Al (from China) and now unlocked bootloader.

Can i flash MIUI 9 version 9.6.3.0.OEIMIFD (Stable) from MIUI 10 version 8.8.30 (Developer ROM) without brick?

Version 9.6.3.0.OEIMIFD (Stable) and version 8.8.30 (Developer ROM) now are lastest.

Thank you so much
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Hi,

I just successfully flashed 8.8.30 over 9.6.3.0 on a Redmi Note 5 Pro with locked bootloader. From what I had read, ROMs with ARB 4 can be flashed over each other.

The latest MIUI ROM for whyred is now 9.6.4.0, btw.

Doesn't really answer your question, but thought I would share this.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Since you have unlocked bootloader, you could try using TWRP for flashing a firmware-less version of the MIUI 9 ROM (you can find links in this forum).

That way the risk of a brick is entirely eliminated.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] taco9:
Also when in doubt about any rom ARB version, older and future roms, you will always be safe flashing a firmware-less rom (since it leaves BL untouched).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] hamidreza4u:
I wanna do it on my mi5 but what about my apps and data?

I lose theme or no?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] DragonClawsAreSharp:
You will lose all apps and app data. And you will be warned about it too.

When the stable MIUI 10 is officially released as OTA, we will be able to move from MIUI 9 to 10 without losing any data.

Now, i want to come back miui 9 because miui 10 stable will update for miui 9 user.

Thanks so much.

And now, can i relock bootloader on the lastest miui 9 global stable without brick?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Jibreil:
The point of this thread is that 1.64.08.21 is compatible for some and incompatible for others; hence what I'm trying to express here is that the bug/issues caused are due to the Radio and NOT the ROM itself.

Since quite sometime I've been testing miscellaneous ROM's over various Radio versions. Also have been closely monitoring every single BUG pointed out in bepe and other chef's thread. The same bug issue has been also brought up in ASerg ROM. I personally feel his ROM is bug free as I haven't come across any issues.

My speculation has narrowed down towards one common problem giver i.e. the Radio v1.64.08.21 which is now used by 90% of the Polaris users.

I strongly feel that v1.64.08.21 is incompatible with the latest ROM version 19209 & Protocol 25.69.30.05 and even the earlier ROM versions i.e. 1920x.

To be sure of my study I've tested ALL possible ROM's in this forum using the factory radio 1.54.25.14 and till date haven't faced a single bug issue which has been repeatedly brought up by misc members on this forum.

To clear this problem, request some of you to help me test some things out:

- Can I request you to re-flash your radio to 1.54.25.14 and then test the same ROM for the bug's you have been facing

- All NEW Polaris owners, please DO NOT flash your Radio rather just the ROM.

- Existing Polaris owners on a non-1.64.08.21 radio, please test whether the bugs exist on your ROM's.

After all 1.6.4.08.21 is a Radio extracted originally from a Russian Kaiser ROM, it doesn't make it 100% compatible as the factory Radio for Polaris.

Strongly looking for some views and feedback from everyone :rolleyes:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] taiseer999:
What are your noted bugs?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] windirt:
what the actual bug is?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Jibreil:
@taiseer999:

I'ven't faced the same issues which other members on the forum have been mentioning, even using the same ROM which they are on as well.

@windirt:

I personaly feel that using a Kaiser Radio on a Polaris is "possibly" causing the BT to remain on and other miscellanous issues that have been brought up.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] windirt:
I'm using a self-cooked taiwan cht rom (wm6 18129) with radio 1.64.08.21. works very well for one more week, never encouter the BT issue as you described.

I also never faced any problems with Bepe 0.67 WWE release and 1.64.08.21. I can turn my bluetooth on or off, the blue light isn't flashing if my bluetooth is off, and I never had any problems connecting to a device or what so ever. Maybe there are revisions of the hardware...

and no problems with Bebe's ROM. WiFi, Bluetooth, and 3G work fine, only problem I am having is using Windows Live with 3G, which cant connect all the time. But this also happened with the original radio and ROM.

PB of BT

Hi,

very intersting post Jibreil. I think your right when you recomand not to change the original radio of polaris. Since I change my radio, I definitively loose my BT and my FM Radio. Both was working before I make the "update". now I have to send my polaris back to the seller and its a very very disturbing situation

So I confirm: do not change your radio if you want to be sure of kipping your BT. Another thing about that: maybe Im wrong but I think that the battery drain is much better with the last radio (1.64....) it's a shame !

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Jibreil:
After flashing I noticed a drastic loss in my signal, may be it doesn't work well in this part of the world. I have replaced three phones, imagine how frustrating it must be for me :-)

The point of this thread is that 1.64.08.21 is compatible for some and incompatible for others; hence what I'm trying to express here is that the bug/issues caused are due to the Radio and NOT the ROM itself.

I have a GT-i9250 its stuck on the X boot screen with the colours changing.

I think the bootloader is unlocked when you turn it on it shows the unlocked padlock.

The phone charges and usb is being detected by PC.

When I connect in bootloader mode computer detects ADB.

How do I get this phone to turn on fully WITHOUT WIPING MY IMPORTANT DATA?

VARIANT - maguro

HW VERSION - 9

BOOTLOADER - VERSION - PRIMEKK15

BASEBAND VERSION - I9250XXLH1

CARRIER INFO - NONE

SERIAL NUMBER -

SIGNING - production

LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED

Thankyou
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
Which are those important data?

Which ROM version is installed?

Have you got an OTG cable for connect a USB stick?

As first simple step, enter in recovery and wipe only cache and dalvik, than reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snipergti:
Stuck on the multicoloured X on startup for long time.

Important Data is Phone Numbers Pictures Videos Messages.

I went into recovery done wipe cache phone restarted but same problem still same problem stuck on the multicoloured cross.

For recovery mode when the green android appeared I had to hold the power button and volume up button to get options.

I have an OTG cable and USB stick.

I believe it may be a software problem.

I need to try to flash this GT-i9250 without deleting any data on the phone surely there must be a non wipe firmware method I do have a non wipe file but I dont dare try it just waiting for more feedback and see what happens.

Im not sure what ROM ive got on here right now baseband and rest of the details are above it may be 4.2.2 not sure can you tell from details above?

Appreciate your reply Kerpert.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rahimali:
Your bootloader is unlocked. You could boot it into bootloader/fastboot mode, flash TWRP recovery, then reboot into recovery and save your photos and videos at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
Have you a custom ROM? Which one and which version?

If you have lock state unlocked, flash the twrp recovery, download it from

https://dl.twrp.me/maguro/

Copy the custom recovery into the directory where you have kept the adb and fastboot files,

type the following command to install the custom recovery image onto your Nexus device

connect the pendrive via OTG cable

use up/down volume to select recovery mode and press power

in recovery mount all the partitions,

go into backup

select system, boot, data

set storage to USB-OTG

start backup

Unmount the usb and disconnect from the phone

connect the stick to the pc and check if the files have been all copied.

create a folder C:\backup\

connect the Nexus via USB cable to the PC, in the prompt window type

Now you have to reflash the same existing ROM from recovery, wipe only cache and dalvik at the end, reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snipergti:
Hi Kerpert Im not sure what the current firmware of my phone is I think its 4.2.2 can you tell what rom I have got from the build date with the details above?

Please can you tell me exactly what to do in BABY STEPS lol so its 100% clear so I cant make a mistake! PLEASE I cant lose my IMPORTANT DATA!

I need step by step detail e.g Which version TWRP etc... and so on!

Mr Rahim Ali thank you for your response!

I really appreciate your time and effort Kerpert in trying to help me!

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
Sorry I can't understand which ROM you are using from the information upon.

Wait someother of expert that know it and maybe can give better suggests.

My idea is to do a nandroid backup and save it on pc and only after this try to bring back to life the phone, firstly by flashing the same rom you have installed (but need to identify it exactly), if it will boot, you could try with Titanium Backup to restore what you need but I'm not 100% sure it will work (you could also try to restore with TWRP, but dunnot if you can select only some apps).

Avoid to wipe DATA and INTERNAL STORAGE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rahimali:
It would be very easy to find out current ROM information once you have flashed TWRP recovery. Just boot into recovery, mount system and then make a copy the file build.prop from the /system folder to USB OTG or directly to your PC. Open the file with Notepad or any other text editor. It should contain the required information.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snipergti:
What is the best way to flash TWRP which version maguro?

Hi Rahim or Kerpert

What is the best way to flash TWRP which version Maguro?

How do I flash it in which version ODIN or other command method?

In download mode or do I use fastboot method?

Please can I have basic steps to perform one of these tasks?

I want to make sure I dont make any mistakes!

Once I have flashed TWRP and got access to TWRP recovery Im sure we will be on the right track!

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rahimali:
You should have Android SDK Platform Tools installed. You can download from here.

Download the latest recovery from here or here and copy it to your hard drive e.g. in a folder called c:\maguro

You should have Universal Naked Drivers installed which you can get here.

Reboot your phone into fastboot/bootloader mode and connect it to your PC.

Provide the location where you extracted the universal naked drivers if Windows needs to install drivers.

Give the command

fastboot flash recovery c:\maguro\twrp-3.2.3-0-maguro.img

and you're done!
