Pre-ordered S10 Duos 8/128 in Black on the Samsung Upgrade Programme

Will be sending my S9 Duos back to them when I get the return pack early next week - they will then close out the financing plan on the S9

Paid £79.9 deposit

First monthly payment of £30.02, followed by 23 payments of £29.96

Total paid = £799

Claimed Galaxy buds yesterday (tried Friday, but their website was WAY overloaded, so kept timing out). My claim number indicates that over 106000 people have already claimed (dunno if this is UK / IE / EU wide) the buds, however, this is incorrect, because everytime I tried to claim on Friday, my claim number went up. I therefore suspect that many of the claims are simply incomplete claims from timed out attempts for other people.

Scary thought... 106,000 Galaxy Buds given away at £139 each.... £14,734,000. I sure hope for Samsung's sake that my assumption that a lot of the claims are incomplete is valid :D
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Davey Dual Sim:
Margins will be high, probably.only cost 30 quid to make and pre ordered phones you are paying full rrp, will all be factored in
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] craftycarper1:
So how much are the buds gonna be worth when ebay gets flooded with them in a couple of weeks?

Will be selling mine as i don't use earphones, that was the plan from the start.

Hello,

I am willing to test the custom ROM for LG G5 SE H840 European Variant as the bootloader is officially unlocked by LG. I have ubuntu 18.04 with 16 GB RAM. And my phone is still pristine.

Sorry, I had to post here as I don't have enough points to post on the resp. forum. Also, for the developers out there, I have one request for you:

when you let my parents free

I was very happy & gay

when you also set my brother free

you very much made my day

In all those custom flashy ROMs

I see my family bask

I pray to the dev gods to unlock me

that's all I ever ask.

How to flash this ROM:

1. Download the zip file.

2. Make sure this zip file is saved to your device (I prefer transferring to sd card to allow for full wipe of data on tablet).

3. If you want Google Play functionality, download OpenGApps (link below). (optional)

4. Reboot into TWRP (Volume Up + Home + Power or Advanced Restart).

5. Make a backup (optional).

6. Wipe System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache partitions with Advanced Wipe. (I like wiping internal data too, do NOT wipe SD Card!)

7. Flash the ROM you just downloaded.

8. Flash OpenGApps ARM for Android 9.0 if you want Google services (optional).

9. If you want root, flash Magisk.

10. Reboot and proceed normally with installation.

Overwhelming sense to brag that your old tablet has newer version of Android on it than a lot of people's expensive phones.

All other functions seem to be working fine. Please report bugs with logcat. I am just starting out on being able to troubleshoot bugs and make edits to code to fix problems, so a majority of bugs will be fixed by the official devs and maintainers of Lineage but I'm trying to learn how to help out too and you have to start somewhere, right?

Jfuginay,

Thanks for compiling this ROM. Your work is appreciated.

On my SM-T350, I get the following message when trying to install the 16.0 ROM

updater process ended with error: 7

error installing zip file /sdcard/Download/lineage-16.0-20190221-UNOFFICIAL-gt58wifi.zip

I will check tomorrow to see if there is a newer TWRP that can work with the updater script. I saw in another thread that the SM-T550 updater script is failing because TWRP can't report the model number.

I do need external audio working. I see that SM-T550 which is the bigger version of this A tablet does have audio working as per

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78720468&postcount=22

Perhaps there is something in that SM-T550 code that we can use to help with the SM-T350.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Okay the above error was due to TWRP version 3.1.0. I upgraded to 3.2.1 and now the updater-script installs 16.0 onto my SM-T350.

I'm looking through the SM-T550 commits, but unsure what might be needed for the SM-T350?

The most obvious difference between

https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/android_device_samsung_gt510wifi/tree/lineage-16.0

and

https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/android_device_samsung_gt58wifi/tree/lineage-16.0

is the entire configs folder in the SM-T350 code.

I also found

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
Glad you got it to boot.

I noticed that missing config folder too, so I just added that to my build directory and am compiling that now to test it out. I didn't add the camera files, since it is only bluetooth and speaker I'm trying to troubleshoot. Don't think the camera is having problems, but honestly haven't tried it out yet.

I noticed the missing config folder when checking out the device.mk file for each device. I added the links to the config folder in the device.mk file and added the bluetooth and sound folders from config file to my build directory, so I'm hoping once that compiles it will fix our problems.

Will do a dirty flash first, then if it still isn't working, I'll do full wipe and test it out. If it boots up and fixes anything I'll upload it for people do download, if the same problems persist I won't bother uploading the new build.

Also had a complete reboot while using Clash Royale game. I hit the news tab and the tablet completely rebooted.

I will try to reproduce, if I can, and get a logcat.

Playing Clash Royale seems okay, but I have to use the headphone jack vs external audio to get sound.

My SM-T350 is a completely fresh install with only gapps pico. Nothing else.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Looking at the commit history between the SM-T350 and SM-T550, it looks like deadman96385 didn't add the config/audio files for the SM-T350, but did for the SM-T550 on April 18, 2018

I wonder if the non working external audio is due to missing config folder?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
I'm hoping it's those config files. I did a build with them in but I'm not sure they were included because of my ccache being enabled. I'm not 100 percent convinced that ccache can tell the difference between slightly modified files well enough to know to include the changed files in new build, so I cleared out my ccache files and ran make clobber and am building fresh right now with those config files in there.

Will do full wipe and flash this and report back if it made any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
Adding those config files didn't fix anything. Found several differences in some proprietary.mk files so attempting to see if any of those do the trick. New build compiling now. Will probably need to disable ccache and do make clobber to clear directory so I'll probably let it build over night while I sleep.

Let's hope I wake up to a fixed ROM !
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Darn, I was hoping the config would fix it.

I left a message in the SM-T550 thread asking virsys what was done to fix the external audio because it's not obvious to me where the commit is that fixed it.

In this post

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78170903&postcount=9

dated Nov 15, 2018 virsys says "Audio is working now".

At github

https://github.com/VirsysElectron/android_vendor_samsung_gt510wifi/commits/lineage-16.0

there is a commit for Nov 16, 2018 entitled

Cleanup for OSS-audio and improved lineage-16.0 compatibility

I wonder if this commit fixed the external audio?

Just out of curiousity, how are you building this ROM? Locally or on some clould computer?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Another idea/suggestion?

At

https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/a...8wifi/blob/lineage-16.0/proprietary-files.txt

it says the proprietary files are from (line 1)

# Samsung Package Version T550XXU1CQL5_T550OJV1CQK3_TUR (unless otherwise specified and/or tagged)

The SM-T550 has 2 external speakers while the SM-T350 only has 1. I wonder if we have to grab the proprietary files from a SM-T350. Maybe the drivers from the SM-T350 know how to work with just 1 speaker?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
I'll check out a working 14.1 ROM and see if it has specific proprietary files there which differ from what we are using now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Virsys responded back on how he/she got the SM-T550 external audio working. See

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78978788&postcount=74

"I've fixed the whole audio framework by editing and importing my own mixer_paths.xml to /system/etc"

I wonder if we can download his SM-T550 ROM image, extract that mixer_paths.xml file to see what changed?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
So I downloaded the SM-T550 code and looked at the

/system/vendor/etc

directory.

There are 28 files there. In the SM-T350 /system/vendor/etc, there are only 27 files.

The additional file in SM-T550 is called audio_platform_info.xml.

It has definitions for speaker out. I'm not sure of all the definitions or how it's linked yet? I don't know if this file has to be part of the actual rom compilation process or it gets read at boot/runtime.

In addition, there have been additional entries put into the mixer_paths.xml file in the 550 that virsys referred to.

In the SM-T550 /system/etc directory, there 3 additional XML files named

A05QF_sr544_module_info.xml, B05QF_sr544_module_info.xml and C05QF_sr544_module_info.xml.

Not sure if these files are needed or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
Thanks for all the ground work, gives me a good place to look into tonight when I get home from a meeting and have some time to tinker with the code.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
K, I looked through a lot of proprietary code for both the gt58 and 511, and hopefully found all the discrepancies. Added over 20 files and lines of code to gt58 proprietary folders and renamed one file to match the dependency in another file.

Compiling now, so cross your fingers that it fixes our sound!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Are your changes up on github?

https://github.com/jfuginay

I'm newish to github and just learning how to navigate and look around.

What I find confusing is the seemingly incredible amount of layers of abstraction in defining the speakers. That is, A->B, B->C, C->D, D->E, E->F, F->G. Anything missing is enough to break it.

I understand why the layers are required, but without a flow chart or visualization of how these things work, it's difficult to follow all the necessary definitions and files needed.

I also have noticed some of the people using github have no documentation on why the code change was required. The changes are there, but why? Was it because something was broken? Was it because it wasn't defined properly in the first place? Was it because there was a potential security problem?

If you have any URL resources that would help explain some of this, I would appreciate some pointers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Nubianprince has patches for the static audio over in the crDroid thread. It has to do with the compression used.

I expect once jfuginay has time, he will pickup those patches. See

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lividhen99:
Thank you, I did not see this!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lividhen99:
Are you ever going to merge the audio changes from crDroid with lineage? Or would the changes move it too far away from the original lineage source?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Patience. Jfuginay has a day job, family and other commitments.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lividhen99:
I was just wondering if it was going to happen at all. If the changes made the rom stray too much from the original then he would probably never make the changes, I didn't mean to sound like I was asking for it now ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
My guess is that jfuginay will pick them up because the lineageos and msm8916 code doesn't have anything working for our tablet in terms of sound, bluetooth and camera.

These 3 were broken in the unofficial 14.1 and 15.1 builds. It wasn't until elginsk8r, evervolv pie build, figured it out (twice) to get the 3 above working.

Hopefully, the fixes for pie will be forward compatible with Q and/or project treble.

Speaking of sound, does anyone else find the Pie build speakers a bit more tinny (high treble) compared to the stock build? I'm trying to find a way to add some bass to the Clash Royale game. On stock, I found it tolerable, but on the Pie build, I need to turn up the bass and turn down the treble.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
Yes, I'll incorporate the sound fix soon. Since vlc player works, (plus I dont use mp3s since I stream music) the last build I did has been my daily driver.

I also assumed many would be choosing the other ROMs available over this one so that is another reason I've chilled out.

Also been working on getting lineage 16 on the lv517 (LG K20 plus). It's booting then the screen goes blank. Trying to help some buddies figure out why that is.

Shouldn't be very hard to incorporate the mp3 fix and rebuild, will probably knock it out in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lividhen99:
Cool, Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Will your new build automatically pickup the April 5th lineageos security patches?

Nubianprince's April 10 crDroid build still has March security updates.

BTW, I plan to test your build for a week or so after I'm done with crDroid non OC build. My comments on the OC crDroid build are over at the other thread. I know you were entertaining the idea of having a separate lineageos OC build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
Turns out lineage places things a little different than how crdroid does, so the fix he implemented for the mp3 fix isn't as simple as adding or changing a little code.

I haven't saved my local changes to git yet so I can't do a repo sync to get latest security patches without undoing a lot of my work.

After I fix mp3 thing on my local files and commit changes, I'll repo sync to get latest security patches
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
I can take a look once you upload your latest changes to github.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:

Will repo sync tonight to get latest Android security patch and post new build tomorrow that can be dirty flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lividhen99:
Cool! Flashing now. I don't know if something went wrong, but android file host says the file is 377mb but when I download it says 395mb. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
Should be good. Shows up as 395 on my hard drive. It's a weird android file host thing. As long as md5 matches up you're golden.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
Now that bugs are all worked out, I'll repo sync latest security update and rebuild.

Then I'll start working on a flashable OC zip for the ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Absolutely no rush for either.

I'm testing more long term reliability things now that are harder to spot vs the obvious sound isn't working.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lividhen99:
Maby it's something I'm doing, but I'm still getting the static/clicking/tazer...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
Dirty or clean flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lividhen99:
Tried both.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
I just verified that I get static on some mp3s too. I downloaded an mp3 before uploading the build and it played just fine, but I just downloaded a different one and it had static.

I'll look into it and rebuild, it seems I need to change my approach to forcing sample rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Hmm, it's not my imagination. Just trying out the April 20 evervolv build and its sound in Clash Royale sounds just like or is identical to stock rom.

I did notice that lineageos comes with AudioFX with some pre-determined equalizer settings, but even after playing with those, it helped, but didn't sound like stock. Perhaps I have to disable AudioFX entirely? I will try that after 2 or 3 days with evervolv.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] iesous-kurios:
I definitely use audio fx with full bass boost and the custom eq set to pretty high bass and mids, with not super high 'high's.

New build compiling now. It has the sound fixes for static feedback on mp3s, and will have the latest security patches from Lineage.

I've created new repositories for all of my local changes and provided what my roomservice.xml looks like. Any of you should be able to link to my source code using my roomservice.xml file and compile a Lineage OS 16.0 Rom on your own computer/laptop.

Will edit this post when new build is uploaded to afh.

edit: build completed and uploaded
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] retiredtab:
Results for April 27 build.

I did a dalvik, cache, system and data wipe. I also did a factory reset and format data to ensure T350 is completely fresh.

The following are working: sleep cover, google play store (Clash royale, clash of clans, chrome show up), external sound, mp3, camera, deep sleep and bluetooth.

April 5th security patches incorporated.

I will be using this build for the next week to check for stability and reliability now that all the functionality seems to work properly.

We have come a long way in the last 2 months. Good work everyone. :good:
