Since both of your guys own the AL00 China version, if you have to do it again, would you rather get the Global version? How critical is it to have the Google stuffs baked in? My Cousin is bring my China version back from China tomorrow. Don't know if I should sell it and get the global version instead.

For me it doesn't bother me much.. I don't want netflix or anything like that so having "HD" doesn't matter to me.(Its L3 instead of L1 like the global version) I don't use OK Google so that part doesn't bother me.. Only thing that bothers me thats in both global and china and they will be fixing it soon is that you can't change the launcher. So far though everything else is basically the same. I don't really notice the chinese and its rare in menus but it is on the front lock screen.

As I've forgotten to charge my phone when going to sleep yesterday , I'm amazed by the battery life when I woke up

Basically on my phone, I manually disable all apps background activity and only allow those like email, WhatsApp, etc to operate in the background.

After a days general use of 13 hours, 8 hours sleep and I'm left with 57% in the morning!

Amazing beast. This is easily my best phone yet.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] hughey2k2:
I started at around 9:30am then used it all day and charged it around 10:30 or 11pm that night but I mostly was in the browser though shopping, reading, YouTube stuff I normally do on a daily plus I didn't charge it the night before. The screen was on the whole time instead of using my computer I used my phone. I set the the screen off time to 15sec and I used the face unlock so much I realised that this phone's face unlock is much slower than my OnePlus 6 face unlock but it works so I can't complain.

How many charge cycles have you gone through?

When I first got the phone I thought the battery life was already epic. After about 4-5 charge cycles (once every 2 days) I noticed the battery life ironed out and I'm getting even better battery life then when I first got the phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] kakavin:
Mine doesn't sound as great as you guys.. when I first got phone 10 hours SOT now it's 8 hours SOT and today I got 6hours 30mins sot lol
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Always remember this charge cycle guys, if you want to have a great battery life :

- Never charge when less than 20%

- Never charge more than 80% ...

Keep the charging cycles bewteen 20% -80% and plug off your phone... This way you will not damage the battery ... Cheers
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Derpling:
Got the phone on Thursday, two charges so far, got 10 to 12 hours SOT.

Keep in mind that SOT is not the only measurement of a battery life.

Hi,

Hi,

I tried to upgrade my XDA using Ranju's latest ROM, and after going through the flash process ok, my XDA Exec is saying the following on a white screen "Press 0 to restore factory default - Press X to exit"

If i press "0", then the XDA says "clearing now" and switches off and nothing happens, and the XDA switches off altogether if i press "X". If i try the on /off key, nothing happens!!

During the whole process windows is showing "Unknown USB device".

I've removed both the SIM card and SD card and carried out the above.

Can someone please help me out.

Regards

Finally managed to sort. Used the following instructions:

How to update your rom to the latest I-mate version (with push email) and Radio 1.09.0 using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method

1 – download the file “Universal_Upgrade_v1.30.68_radio_1.09.0.zip” from the ftp site (see bottom of post for details)

2 - double click the file and allow it to unpack into a folder

3 – right click on the active sync icon in your tasks tray on you pc (at the stage you should NOT have you universal plugged in)

4 – select connection setting then untick “allow USB connections”

5 – Now take your Universal and take out the SIM and MEMORY CARD

6 – Press light + power + reset with the phone on, this will place the universal into bootloader mode

7 – Connect your Universal via the USB cable to your computer directly i.e. not though a USB hub

8 – Now double click on the program called “MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe” (found in to folder from step 1) this will start the upgrade process, the first stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes to complete, you will then be presented with a screen showing a “Imate Jam” and some information about what you are upgrading to, don’t be worried if this screen does not show you the version numbers you have at present that is normal.

9 – Now continue with the process by clicking upgrade/next

10 – After sometime (about 20 minutes) you should be at the end screen tell you to unplug and reset you “jam” So now unplug your universal and reset it and that’s all there is to it!

Note that during the upgrade process you can follow the progress by also looking at your universal screen with a light source as the backlight will be off.

Many thanks for taking time to read.

For SM-T285 users that want to build Lineage OS for their own device I have posted a complete build guide here:

https://github.com/lineage-gtexslte/build_guide
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
Thanks for the ROM update!

I started from scratch and when I compiled, I got this error:

I have had this error before and had to copy the file from another folder, but I should not have to do this.

So, I copied the file to folder where it was missing.

What's your gcc version? might need to use gcc 6
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
gcc version 8.1.1 20180712 (Red Hat 8.1.1-5) (GCC)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
later versions of gcc may not work with lineage 14.1, I had to downgrade mine, though for another project.

you can do:

sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6 g++-6-multilib
sudo update-alternatives --install

inform me if this works and I'll update my guide. Might consider making a docker based build if issues like this happen often.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
Actually, I am on Fedora Linux (uses less resources) and have been using gcc 8xx for some time. I compile LineageOS 14.1 for Note 3 (ha3g) and the Note Pro 12.3 (v1a3g) and have no problems. But, I will investigate further.

Ok...so I had issues building the kernel...could not find some include files.

So...I decided to use build_kernel.sh script to to make boot.img. The resultant file is about 1.4 MB smaller, there is no init file in the ramdisk folder and the boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz in the split_img folder is about 1/2 the size of your recent boot.img file.

Not sure when to go from here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
Okay, so I followed the instructions - after upgrading Fedora to v29 - but, this time I used Docker. Had to make some script changes for Fedora, but got most everything installed. The "work" directory is empty. I was able to make a working system.img that installed with the built .zip file. The kernel would not boot - hung on the logo screen. I restored the 10/17 boot.img and the system booted up. Now, I will work on the boot.img file. I did notice this time that the boot.img file was about the same size as the 10/17 boot.img file I downloaded. So, that's an improvement. I just finished modifying the build_kernel.sh file. So, I installed the kernel I made and it still hung on the logo screen. So, back to square 1 regarding the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
Were you able to obtain a logcat with the failed boot? Possible issue is that the external kernel modules did not get compiled
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
Actually, not sure how I got it to compile. Having problems with docker. Cannot run python or any other dev command. Stuck as root user. So am trying to learn about docker. I do not think I was in docker when it compiled. Will get back to you after I figure this whole mess out.

27 October 2018

After reading the Docker documentation and playing with Docker, I removed it from Fedora. It is just too complicated to use even though it sounds simple. After removing Docker, I did a make clean and a make mrproper in the kernel folder. I ran 'brunch gtexslte'. The compile completed after I copied mkbootimg to the out folder - for some reason it is not getting copied there during the make process. This time the boot.img was over 9mb. It still will not boot. I will get log files today. I will also check to make sure the system files work with the good boot.img.

Question how do I update the system folder to the latest builds of lineage 14.1?

Your repo xml file restricts the source to your repo.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
Okay!

Fixed boot.img not booting.

If you unpack boot.img, the file 'boot.img-imgtype' has an invalid image type. In the file, it says 'AOSP-PXA'.

It should say 'AOSP'.

I do not know where this is getting added. I have done a grep and could not find it.

As a side note, I used the build_kernel.sh script to make the kernel.

Question: How do I apply the security updates without manually following the (-) (+) in the diff file?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
I am now able to do a complete make and install using the generated .zip file.

Here are the steps:

1. Setup your environment - I am using Fedora, but these instructions will work for any flavor of linux

2. Make sure you have the linaro gcc toolchain (32-bit) installed, and you have modified kernel/samsung/gtexslte/build_kernel.sh

3. Run: build/envsetup.sh, then brunch gtexslte

4. If the brunch stops near the end, copy mkbootimg from system/core/mkbootimg to out/host/linux-x86/bin

......or you can write a shell script to copy the file, as I did, before starting the build

5. After the build completes, cd into kernel/samsung/gtexslte

6. Run make mrproper, to clean the kernel folders

7. Run build_kernel.sh

8. After the kernel (zImage) is built, you need to make the boot.img

9. [MENTION=649003]jedld[/MENTION] has posted how to do this in his build instructions

10. Now that you have a boot.img, you need to modify it.

11. Unpack boot.img

12. In the file 'boot.img-imgtype' , you need to change 'AOSP-PXA' to 'AOSP' - without the quotes

13. Repack boot.img

14. Replace boot.img in the lineage*.zip file with the one you just modified

15. Copy the lineage*.zip to you Tab-A, reboot into recovery and install it.

Here is my script for copying the mkbootimg file into the out folder, BEFORE I run brunch gtexslte:

if [ ! -d "out/host" ]; then

mkdir out/host

mkdir out/host/linux-x86

mkdir out/host/linux-x86/bin

fi

cp system/core/mkbootimg/mkbootimg out/host/linux-x86/bin
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
[MENTION=649003]jedld[/MENTION]

Update on normal kernel build:

The reason the boot.img - when building via brunch gtexslte - will not boot is a bad zImage. If I replace the zImage from a bootable boot.img, the bad boot.img will boot okay.

Now I need to figure out what the problem is.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
you can get the incremental diffs from linux.org
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gcrutchr:
Is this for kernel changes or security patches?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
My mistake, I meant kernel.org not linux.org. The incremental diffs contain changes to the mainline kernel which can contain security fixes and/or bug fixes. This is different from android specific patches which google releases separately as kernel patches. The kernel started out from the stock sources provided by samsung on 5.1.1 and then I added google's N and Oreo patches on it (patches related to selinux and oreo binder enhancements). I also added incremental diffs from kernel.org, it started out at 3.10.58 and then I applied incremental diffs until I got to 3.10.107. Unfortunately 3.10 is EOL now, upgrading the kernel to the 4.10 series will take a lot of work.
