I did not tried the new build. I'm too lazy to switch again. But as you said kernel patches. I was surprised the year long bug with setting reliable frequencies was fixed in your build before. how is at the recent one?

Hi. After 2 and a half years of official use i want to 'refresh' my nova experience. BUT, huawei locked the bootloader unlocking.

Am i able to unlock the bootloader somehow(different/ not official way)?

Guys,

january updated security patch. Download it here
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ePearl:
Can I just sideload this right over existing 15.1 ? Does it disturb gapps - or do I refresh that as well ? Thx in advance.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cojocar.andrei:
Can someone fix the remaining bugs or will this forever remain with the bugs (if the latter probably I'll reorient to buy another phone - xperia xa2 seems to have pretty heavy dev going...). Thanks.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
For what I know, it is possible. If I'm not mistaken, gapps has a backup utility, so when you just sideload the ROM, it will survive the sideload. Now, if you ask what I would do to update, I would:

- wipe system partition

- flash new ROM

- flash gapps update (open gapps is updated every friday, if not mistaken)

- wipe cache and dalvik cache

this can prevent some unwanted glitches or bothersomes issues that may occur.

Sincerely, I would. But I'm kinda busy with life itself, so for now I can just update the security patch (as LOS team keeps it up-to-date). Also, LOS 15.1 is pretty much stable and can be used as daily ROM (at least for most ppl here I think) so I rather spent some time making LOS 16 working, but again, I couldn't do much past 2 weeks. For example, I built as LOS 16 rom here, but it didn't boot (I forked the right trees). So I needed a eng boot.img to test it. I built it. I didn't even try the eng boot.img xD
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cojocar.andrei:
Yeah, I know the feeling, I always wanted to start myself learning to build a whole rom and doing stuff and I cannot find the time to do it. Life is so demanding these days. Thanks for the effort... I'll probably get an xperia xa2 afterall... Seems to be a nice phone...

Guys, bad news :(

My nova is dead. I was testing some stuff on it (basically, trying to use emui again) and did a bad move (I tried to use the dload mode to update it). Well, it hard bricked my nova :(

Seriously, don't try the official method if twrp and fastboot is available. I should've known (in fact I already knew, but I was pretty stupid doing this)

The result is that I'll not be building nova anymore. I had to go back to moto x 2014 and I'm experimenting with it. So... sorry for this. I'm really in pain here, nova was a good device
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NullWizard:

So no dev left. I see a new phone in 1/2 - q year next for me. Some month without any patches are OK. :(

Fix volume adjustment not working

Thanks, to a post from [MENTION=5108316]OmTatSat[/MENTION] over in the LOS 14.1 thread, the bug with non adjustable in-call volume can be fixed:

See: https://xdaforums.com/nova-plus/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3704606/page60

From the attached files I just needed to extract the MTP.rar to /product/etc/acdbdata/ (so that the one result in .../acdbdata/MTP/...files....)

So the solution is working on 14.1 and 15.1

Thanks a lot OmTatSat!

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TheMrAlvin:
Okay so I've been using this ROM for almost 5 months and I am happy with it but:

- bluetooth sometimes crashes at startup and I have to restart my device

- if I have my headphones plugged in and somebody is calling me, I unplug my headphones and I can't hear anything. I need to plug my headphones back and call with someone with my headphones

- calling volume is really low like really really low and I have it on max

- my phone sometimes gets stuck after that notification pops out that crash report was send and its working again normally
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
None of that will get fixed unless someone else starts to develop for the phone and has the same issues or you can give logcat files. Only ever dev does not have the device.

Hi,

I'm having some bluetooth issue on this ROM. Specifically with incoming calls in the car. Sound of the incoming is not directected straight to car speakers. One you picked it up works ok.

Tried to:

- unpair bluetooth devices

- reset network settings

- clear bluetooth cache and data

- switch between different bluetooth avrcp

No change. Any ideas what might causing the problem?

Alternatively checked on Android 7.0 - works smoothly without any issues

Sad to read it:(.

Have you tried to lock the bootloader and unlock it again?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gt_o:
Please find a new build here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=298006

It is just an update of the LOS sources, containing the August patch.

I only tested it shortly, because I'm still not using this on my main phone.

The reason is that I think this rom has a battery drain issue, because all cores will always be clocked at max frequency when the screen is on.

I tried to debug the issue and I suspect it has something to do with i2c. I used powertop and it looked like there is a high interrupt load coming from some i2c component. I tried a few things, but I was not able to fix it.

Question to the other users of this rom:

When I use TWRP 3.2.3-0 together with this rom I get this message:

"Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer"

Do you all have the same issue?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NullWizard:
Hello, first I want to say thank you very much for developing the theme of custom firmware for our device, because many developers have gone to others. Tried your firmware, charging have not tried, but about the message in twrp, like this message, do not watch.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GNUDroid:
Still my only and therefor main phone. Therefore I'm very thankful for the update!!!

Concerning above mentioned comment: I mentioned that all cores are always on in a discussion with Henkate. All cores on are draining unnecessary (concerning the min perf. benefit) if screen is on. It's the core control. Henkate did not had the time to look at it. I also requested other governors which are available as standard LOS patches (so not CAN11 specific stuff).

You mentioned all cores are at max. frequency. I don't experience that. Maybe you take a look to the settings --> "battery saver and performance" and shift the slider to more "power safe profile". BTW: This function which LOS implemented is bad. If you want to tune your frequencies completely manual (or use helpfull apps like Lspeed) one need to get rid of it (delete whole folder /system/vendor/etc/perf + file /system/vendor/etc/powerhint.xml). Once deleted the frequency/scheduler tuning works again with 3rd party apps and like in good old days. ;)

Concerning drain in Standby: Most is drain always comes from Software. So look at your apps. Highly restrict background processes (AppsOpsX -> can wake / background), force fast dooze (Naptime), tame wakelocks (wakeblock framework). On such a clean phone remaing wakelocks mainly come from gapps and qualcomspecific stuff (tunneling sevice, ...). For me I modded my /etc/sysconfig/ exceptions from google and qti. --> I reach 93% deep sleep with LTE on if I don't use the phone. - It's quite ok. Just with my beloved S4 (since very cool ROMs in those times) I had in max 97% deep sleep times with LTE on. :eek:

Long story, short thing: :good: THAANNKS TO U! :good:

I know don't ask for ETAs, but just to know, will you maybe compile a new security patched build once every 1/2 year?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gt_o:
One build in 6 months should be feasible. If no issues arise it should not be a problem.

However I would like to solve the battery issue and I don't know how far I can get with that. From my point of view no tuning should be necessary, the drain that we see is not related to 15.1 I think but instead I think there is some kernel/blob issue. It should work out-of-the-box like in 14.1. I don't see any issue there.

My analysis is also that the drain is not high in standby, because the cores are effectively going to sleep in standby mode. But when screen is on all cores are at max speed for me and that should not be the case. Also I can see that the temperatures are higher when screen is on and phone is idling.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GNUDroid:
perfect!

Just one comment from my experience:

- some apps (e.g. system monitor always max.) seem to report frequency falsely. CPU spy, cpu-z, kernel auditor seem to show drops , e.g. go down to 652 MHz if no load.

- maybe take also a look at the CPU core control (in kernel audiuotor section "thermal": vdd restriction, core control, themperature throttle). if changing the control, often the CPU stick afterwards at high frequency.

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gt_o:
I have created a new build:

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=298006

I would say it's experimental, I tried to fix some dmesg error messages and therefore I made some changes to the blobs. Too me it seems that battery life is now better, but I would like to hear your feedback first, because I just made a few tests.

Apart from that there is a known issue:

The file manager won't display the Download tab and when downloading files via the browser you can't open them from the notification, the file browser will crash.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GNUDroid:
Runs smooth for me. Thank you for the new build!!!!!!!!

- It's satisfying to have a more recent security patch level.

- Besides that any other changes?

Would be nice if you could provide a minimal changelog. Did you uploaded your commits in some repro?

Best wishes and many thanks!
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GNUDroid:
Great battery time!

I just want to thank an 2nd time. After trying this build for ~1 week, I must commit that the battery time highly improved. Especially in low-usage(!) conditions I have improvement from 2d to 3,5d! :)

Therefore I'm still curious about the changes.

Best wishes
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gt_o:
Hi,

thanks for the feedback.

I will soon push the changes, I have just not done it yet.

Unfortunately I cannot fully confirm that the battery lifetime is improved in all scenarios.

I was using a test device at first, connected only through wifi. In that scenario everything works well.

Later on I installed the rom also on my main phone, which has a simcard, but I notice that when mobile data is active the battery drain is there again :(

Hi guys, many thanks to Henkate and gt_o, august build 2019 is doing good, november build had this bug with Downloads map and I wasn't able to download, either with Chrome or with Microsoft Edge. With august build almost everything is perfect.

There is only one thing that's missing, that is NFC. As Henkate mentioned, there are two NFC chips, my MLA version apparently has PN548AD and this chip is not working on this build. Is there any chance of implementing support for this NFC chip in the future?

Also, there was this nasty error in TWRP: Could not mount /data

I solved it by changing the file system of data partition from EXT4 to EXT2 and then again from EXT2 back to EXT4. That solved it, but I don't know what was behind this bug.

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mcmare:

Do you have any idea how to fix nfc not initialising? When I click this button nfc does not turn on. Is there an issue with the nfc drivers for my device?

https://imgur.com/XHOsO5F
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gt_o:
You wrote earlier, that you have an MLA device and that it is using PN548AD.

As far as I can see we have only support for PN551 for CAN.

So I assume we would need to integrate libs for PN548 additionally, I can try doing it, but I wouldn't be able to test it.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mcmare:
How hard is it to do such a thing? I dont know anything about android, but from my PC knowledge I would conclude that someone would somehow need to write "drivers" for PN548 or something similar? I know, rather silly question :D

Compass fix + kernel soruces

Thanks for posting the git repro! The last build works quite good!

One correction and one feature hint in the following post.

[Fix for Compass]

Since beginning CAN-11 custom roms I had the problem, that the compass directs to wrong directions. (using ‘pure compass’, e.g. without gps information of way traveling. This is relevant for example: pedestrian to decide which way to take at a crossroad).

I found following to correct the compass (at least north-west hemisphere):

/vendor/etc/sensor/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf / msm8953 section (lines 1511-1514)

"# mag x/y/z

900 -1 0x00010002 #mag-x-axis

901 -2 0x00010002 #mag-y-axis

902 3 0x00010002 #mag-z-axis"

If anyone still is working on the device based on LOS 8.1 sources, maybe he can include above corrections!

[Features from other msm8953 kernels?]

By the way: I’m still wondering if one could include without much work, some more features – compared to CAF Kernel - from custom kernels. Following devices are also mssm8953 chipsets:

Asus Zenfone 3

Motorola Moto G5 Plus

Lenovo Moto G5

Lenovo P2

Motorola Moto Z Play

Samsung Galaxy C7

Huawei Nova plus

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime (32GB)

Xiaomi Redmi Y2

Xiaomi Mi A1

Redmi Note 4

ZTE Axon 7 MAX

Personally I can stay at 8.1. But I miss untervolting and some new governors and alternative hotplug logics as alternative to qualcomms semi-good mpdecision.

Maybe some other sources are useful!? I found some interesting kernel features for 8.1 and msm8953 in following list:

I installed the GCam app under the build of [MENTION=5418262]gt_o[/MENTION], it works though, but it disables the color mode of the app when taking a photo/has some color flickering in the video mode.
