system-as-root (SAR)

Some (newer) devices were using it before .. but beginning with Android 10 it's mandatory for all devices.

We use "2SI" - 2 stage init - thru fstab in ramdisk !

Magisk team explains the different ways on how SAR got implemented into android devices.

Pls check magisk xda thread and twitter account for more details on SAR.

Various apps and tools do have problems with "system-as-root (SAR)" and all it's implementations.

It will take some time until all the tools have been updated.

Magisk 20 is ready for "most" of the SAR implementations.

If you install Magisk 20 on RR TEN you will see "Detecting .. system-as-root" on your screen.

Until all the apps and tools have been modified for SAR there are some workarounds in place ..

Dont' make installation queue in TWRP !

Install each zip file manually.

For gapps installation it helps if you mount system partition manually in TWRP mount menu - before gapps installation.

if mounted already in mount menu - unmount and remount again.

For other tools it helps to just copy "/system/system/build.prop" (SAR location) to "/system/build.prop" (OLD location before Android 10)

build.prop is just an example .. maybe your tools requires other files to be copied.

The logic to detect if "/system" is now located in "/system/system" is missing in most of the tools/apps today.

Actually some TWRP version for some devices use the flag "system_root" in config today - to let TWRP know about SAR.

Maybe next TWRP version will include also some additional "checks" for Androdid 10 SAR devices - and it's various implementations.

From ROM point of view you can switch the way of implmenting SAR.

As I know Valera is still using SAR with hardcoded fstab in kernel binary .. Magisk 20 still have some issues to unpack/repack Samsung kernel binaries.

In RR we have fstab in ramdisk and not in kernel binary - no need to unpack/repack - which is more "easy" to handle for Magisk.

To summarize .. :)

Pls be patient until all the tools/apps have been updated for SAR on Android 10 !

Or use some workarounds to make it working today.

Cheers

When you said a while ago that RR Q doesn't have any options yet you weren't kidding :laugh: :laugh:

I couldn't even find a way to activate the navbar - it was selected under gestures but didn't work. I'll just wait for now ... Pie is fine and works great, so I'm in no rush to get Q.

What do you want tested on that TWRP you posted a few days ago? I haven't flashed it yet because a) no idea what you need us to test and b) it has a lower version number than your Omni6 TWRP that I'm using, so it confused me :confused:

The fact that nobody else tried it/reported back didn't help matters :angel:

Thanks for all you do btw :) :good:

in android 9 crdroid i can choose between vulkan or open gl graphic backend.

but in android 10, only open gl is available.

no vulkan anymore, or later in future rom updates? thx for answer. ?

WiFi issue

Hello.

Weird thing that happened and I'm trying to figure out how/why it happened and if it can be fixed.

I had version RR-P-v7.0.2-20190915 installed on my T580 which was working flawlessly for quite some time.

Then suddenly, after charging (not sure if related), WiFi stopped working. I rebooted and nothing. I entered TWRP (3.3.1-1) cleared cache and still nothing. I wiped data, re-installed and still WiFi doesn't work but not only that, the device now appears to loop on the "protect device" setup screen (no matter what I enter it always returns there).

To make things even more complicated the above two issues appear even if I clean-flash the new version or a different image. Again, I repeat, version RR-P-v7.0.2-20190915 was working perfectly fine for about a month since I first installed it.`

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

P.

Like written some posts above .. the YouTube delay issue is already fixed - you can test it in next build.

reboot system and may clear app cache/data of YouTube app in app settings.

Hey been using this Rom for a few days now it's really smooth and seems pretty stable so great work, But I'm having a couple of issues and I'm not sure weather there down to my install or bugs in the Rom itself

To start with Google photos just doesn't want to do anything and crashes

BBC iPlayer app just refuses to open

Camera keeps force closing every few mins

Sometimes the play store takes ages to install an app or just refuses too and sits on download pending

Of anybody has any ideas I would appreciate it because I really like this Rom and think it has been well built and to be honest as far as the t580 is concerned there isn't alot of ROMs that actually get updated anymore

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] antoine62:
I had no problem with google photo ,when i was using this rom.

For the camera app, i dont know, but if you are using the stock one you should use footej camera.

And, on this rom and liquid remix, the google play store doesnt want to install/update an app until i do a full reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] terrorbite1492:
Google photos seems to be working ok now for some reason, and I disabled the stock camera and installed footej which seems to have solved that issue.

I do still seem to be getting crashes now and again and instabilities when casting to chromecast or just when the device is being used heavily.

Had the whole screen go black on me last night and the only way I could get it back on was booting to download mode and then rebooting from there.

Anyone noticed the Ds4 with no input !?? Please followmsi, this is my first comment on xda !

First, there is nothing to say, your work on this Rom is simply the best among others ...Lineage, Pixel, Bootleger, AICP, ....Bliss.

However it seem i come late. Whatever, I would know your point of view about it, as said before, when I connect Ds4 V2 via Bluetooth, Or Usb, Light Is on but There's not input at all. Or I read that android now supports natively Ds4 Joysticks in Pie.

Although i've seen ds4 keys layout of my ds4 V2 "Vendor_054c_Product_09cc"

in System/user/keylayout , I've tried others from internet but still not input.

Any idea !??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] followmsi:
As it's your first comment on XDA .. I need to reply :)

Quickly checked kernel .. we do support DS4 v2 .. also on Pie.

No idea about keylayout .. but as you mentioned it "should" be part of AOSP since Pie.

Indeed you are too late .. the time of RR Pie is over.

If you like to test DS4 controller on RR TEN pls have a try.

I do not own any DS4 controller for testing.

For this reason - if it's not working on RR TEN we will need logs .. "dmesg" to get kernel logs and normal android logs (logcat).

Pls check XDA on how to grab logs.

YIKES! :eek:

What I found was that the device was basically stuck in portrait mode with this release. I had an app that forced it to Landscape and then it wouldn't come out of landscape. When I attempted to flash it back to the prior version, it bootlooped rebooting (after switching from portrait to Landscape mode) and I could only get it to Download mode (no recovery).

I had to flash back to stock with ODIN , reload TWRP and reinstall the Dec. version of RR 7 I had tried just flashing TWRP to restore recovery, but while ODIN said it was done, the device was hung at about 99% and didn't seem to get it loaded.

Fortunately I had a Nandroid backup from a few hours earlier.

ROM Installation itself without any issues. But I can't install magisk anymore. I came from [ROM][SM-T580][SM-T585][UNOFFICIAL][RR-O-v6.2.1] and did a clean install (wiped cache, dalvik, sytem & data). I tried to magisk (v18.1 and 18.0) several times via TWRP but I don't get root access. The Magisk app (v7) still shows "Magisk is not installed". So I reinstalled the ROM again wiped cache, dalvik, sytem before with the same result: No Magisk! I'm not sure, it might be a Magisk problem and is (not) ROM related? Thx in advance.

Sorry, no idea about the plans for new "features" by RR team.

This is not related to 580/585 devices and needs to be implemented by RR team.

Thanks for report .. but bugs are to be expected.

https://plus.google.com/+ResurrectionRemixofficial/posts/8mLfQNqPXEp

RR-team is rather small and may need longer to solve certain issues.

Made RR 7.0 ROM for 4 other devices .. believe me - there are more bugs. :)

In my opinion they should have published sources a bit earlier to find bugs a little bit earlier as well.

As well the move from AOSP sources "r30" to "r31" was quite big this time .. some more stuff got broken.

As you can see yourself .. January versions have "different" bugs as February versions.

RR-team did already fix more bugs .. not sure about which bugs in detail.

Just don't have the time to track all this stuff.

Maybe I can make a new "bug fix" build in the next week(s).

Nevertheless .. I am still happy to run RR 7.0 on my devices ! :D
