Addictive ROM !

ok, first of all, thanks a lot Binky for the hard work. Your ROMs are kindda addictive ; superfast and very stable.

I report my own experience and some issues.

It seems the issues I'm having with this one are more or less the same as the ones I had with v3.5 :

1. Though the HSDPA switch is on, I have no H sign coming when connecting to internet

2. The tiny 3G data session icon (which appears whenever the device tries to connect to internet) stays there after the data session is over - in fact, it stays there forever (or until I click on the icon and then click "disconnect")

3. This is the only ROM on which the HTC Home shows my network as "UMTS Orange" - for the past 2/5 years and almost 16 different ROMs , the device always showed the network as only "Orange"

4. No device can send me any file over bluetooth

If you guys confirm that you have the H sign when connecting, and that your 3G data session automatically return to normal 3G after the session is over, I will flash my device with an original HTC ROM and reflash this sweet v3.6 (because I flashed Binky's ROM straight over Faria-R32 and maybe that's the cause of all the problems). But if you have the same issues, then there's no need to do that much flashing/reflashing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kingsizeriz:
i cant clarify any of the data issues as i haven't got a clue about data sessions lol.

however bluetooth recieving i have had issues on every rom..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
Our devices connect to internet through 3G (the 3rd generation of mobile connectivity). Apart from being 3G capable, most of HTC devices also have HSDPA connectivity (which is a lot faster than 3G and is sometimes referred to 3.5G). Whenever your device connects to internet it uses the 3G or HSDPA services of your network provider. Each of these connections are actually 3G or HSDPA "data sessions" during which the icons on Today screen (near the antenna icon) change according to the service available to them.

When you have the "H" icon it means that your device is using HSDPA service of your network provider. My SPVM3100 used to have this H icon with other ROMs, but not with Binky's ROMs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kingsizeriz:
cheers for clearing it up :) i knew basic but it doesnt work on my device :confused: it charges me but doesnt really connect to anything.. webpages wont open etc
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
mate you should sue O2 :cool: they charge u for the service and ur device delivers the capability and u still don't use it?

I cannot live without it; even while I am eating in Nandos (!) , I have to have to read FT, send emails, check markets ...etc. :D Although Kaiser is my main device for mobile surfing but I cannot think of my SPVM3100 going on without connection.

I should tell Binky that in order to keep his FANTASTIC and unthinkably Fast ROM, I've been flashing/reflashing many "Original Hermes" ROMs tonight (almost 6 hours!) followed by hard resets to make sure that the sweet v3.6 is installed on a clean device. I can assure him that in all the other ROMs, the HSDPA sign appears on Today screen when connecting to internet but not on his v3.5/6 ROMs. And the strange thing is that none of original HTC ROMs include an HSDPA switch in Settings/Connections but Binky has included it and yet the icon doesn't appear.

I will keep this great ROM anyway, but I would really appreciate if the chef could throw a bit of light on this issue.

One suggestion: I know the chef wants to keep his ROMs light and fast, but the "Connection Wizar" is really a vital part of all new 6.1 ROMs these days. It makes life a lot easier for the user as it sets all the internet/GPRS ... settings automatically.

One oddity: as soon as I install Adobe Reader LE2, the beautiful wallpaper of the ROM goes away and is replaced by a dull blank blue page. When I try to manually set the same wallpaper as background, it never appears in the same dimensions . It's become a nooby mystery for me !

And finally, is there a list of all differences between v3.5 and v3.6 ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kingsizeriz:
have you checked that HSDPA is enabled in conections?

ive also had a quick look into it and try this cab & soft reset

theres a small possibility it will work - as i dont have HSDPA near me AFAIK however i did install to make sure that it doesnt cause any dodgy errors etc :) try it and let me know ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
Just flashed it yesterday, no significant issues till now. I changed the pagepool to 4MB, will report back if I run in to any issues.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bardia Garsha:
yes the HSDPA switch is ticked. I installed the cab but it didn't change anything. Thanks anyway. There are apparently some issues with G. H, and 3G icons but I am going to keep this ROM. It's fast and beautiful. I love it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kingsizeriz:
try this cab to get rid of the UTMS

let me know if it works :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] khalid_alhawi:

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mrfrantastic:
Hey officer, ROM works great! Also: please tell Randy to put on a shirt.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] OfficerJimLahey:
Somewhat quick update (though I should post this in a way to be more visible)....

Carbon's infra has suffered another hardware failure over a week ago. Replacement hosting had been sought and initial setup has been done, but we still need recovery of the old systems to make everything flow again - that part has been tough.

The next weekly is looking more like next month now. However if in the meantime there are device related updates (I have been trying to figure out the encryption issue), I shall post them as unofficial.

Any questions about this situation and/or plan, please reach out to me in this thread (mention), or as a PM (please note, PM's not related to this may not get answered).

Cheers.

Cam whatsapp record error
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] infoflo:
Thanks for this ROM! Everything works perfectly and better than I expected! Fabulous work!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] WanderCalvette:
whatsapp camera is giving error when recording videos, other camera applications also give error when recording video.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] infoflo:
I have none of these problems.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] WanderCalvette:
How not? test the cameras recording ... what's the date of your carbon update? I have these problems here
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] infoflo:
I tested it, works perfectly. In fact, i feel like the image quality is better than in other ROMs I have tested.

Latest build.

Did you clean flash?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] WanderCalvette:
yes I did a clean installation, did you do anything for the camera to work normally? Did you make any fixes?

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Anyone else with the same problem as me? error in bo image recording whatsapp?

Anyone else with the same problem as me? error in bo image recording whatsapp?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mrfrantastic:
I have checked and have the same problems. Video recording with gcam mod works, but I can't play the video. WhatsApp video recording says file format not supported.

You could make a logcat and send it to OP.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] WanderCalvette:
I too, same problems, can anyone save us? just missing this part of recordings and camera for the rom to be good! still the best of the pie ROMs
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mrfrantastic:
I don't care about video recording. If you want to do something I urge you to take a Log and send it to dev. It could be fixed.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] WanderCalvette:
How come you do not care about video? but another 99.9% of people need the camera for personal use and work, I am with these problems in rom, but I praised other aspects of the system. It turns out I'm complaining here to see if a developer fixes this bug for the rom to be perfect!

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

input phones not working
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mrfrantastic:
Dude, If you want a bug to be fixed, take a log ffs.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] WanderCalvette:
What would log ffs? if you do not want a corrected rom do not use a cellular device
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Fedray:
It's easy to say "this or that doesn't work" but not provide any proof, any logs to help devs to get it fixed, one of the reasons I stopped working on roms for the community is that, it's exhausting to only read comments complaining about stuff that doesn't work.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] WanderCalvette:
It's not a question of complaining, the question is that I'm giving my feedback and really these items that I quoted are not working, I'm not an android developer, I'm just a simple user. If I had the knowledge to develop I would do it with total love.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Fedray:
Where are the logs? Just telling what don't work doesn't help. If you are gonna report any issue then provide logs, if not then don't report anything.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lucki1000:
But anyone can give logs it's not difficult. If you give logs the problem maybe in the next build fixed.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mrfrantastic:
I guess that's too much work for Wander.

But he is giving valuable feedback /s
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] junior276:
Does it has bugs?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] OfficerJimLahey:
WRT the camcorder issue, my bad. I pushed the device and kernel changes ahead of the last build but forgot to push the two vendor commits in time.

Also, Carbon has brought in the May rebase yesterday so the build process is a bit jittery right now. None of my test builds managed to complete as of this morning.

Always something.

BTW, I discovered an unofficial user build left over with the intended fixes, compiled a day before the last weekly (which has the camcorder fix). Anyone interested in that instead of waiting for the next weekly?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] BixilonA:
I installed. Frist of all: Thank you.

And here comes the fist Bug: The Fingerprint scanner does not work! I encrypted the storage, but no success. Can you fix it?

PS: Maybe it works, but there is no options in the settings menu. I am using the latest version!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] OfficerJimLahey:
No options?

There is:

Security (to add to unlocking method)

Moto Actions (for additional gestures)

Encryption does not impact the fingerprint scanner either. For that matter, you still need something else for startup (e.g. PIN).
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Andrej_SK:
Flash this using TWRP https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e_8alb2MFX7uXqjYZ7OruCCImbYIge1r/view. Your fingerprint should be working again then.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] BixilonA:
There was no option. The Moto Actions also did not work.

Thanks for the path. Now everything works. Maybe you can include it into the ROM? But the name is confusing. It includes Oreo.

Now there are still 2 bugs:

1. Bluetooth: My Headphones are getting disconnected randomly. The device works. With Oreo everything was great.

2. Apps are crashing verry often.

Mostly the message android.acore crashed (Tried to wipe cache). Also other apps are crashing

3. Apps (like K9 Mail) do not work. I get background notifications but when I go into the app everything is frozen. I can't click. Even android laggs as f***.

5. In App Fingerprint does not work. Like Firefox Focus

6. My battery is pretty fast empty

Thanks anyway
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] BixilonA:
After an clean flash(without the additional zip) the fingerprint works well

Installation guide for new users

Hi

I tried to follow the installation instruction in the first post but ended up in bootloop. So I though I would make a detailled guide for new users since some instructions are not all in the same place.

I wanted to backup at least the EFS partition. More on partitions and what they do.

Starting point : Moto G5 "cedric" with stock Oreo latest security update (december 2018).

Prerequisites :

Set up ADB on your PC, plenty of guides out there.

Optionnal : backup your current configuration using adb. Useful adb guide.

Download the special version of TWRP (64bit) as linked in the first post. Regular TWRP, as of now, is only 32bit and may not decrypt your data partition.

Download the latest ROM as described in first post

Download latest Magisk on the official thread.. Mine was 19.1

Download the dm-verity disabler

Unlock bootloader like described here, this will reset your smarphone to factory setting

Copy the downloads on your Phone/SDcard.

Rom installations :

Set up a pin number on your phone. Without it TWRP will not be able to decrypt your data partition.

Activate USB debugging on the phone.

In a terminal on your PC and with the phone on and connected with usb, make it reboot in bootloader mode : "adb reboot bootloader"

Flash the TWRP recovery : "fastboot flash recovery twrpxxxxx.img"

From the bootloader screen, use the volume up/down to select "recovery mode" and presh the power button, this will boot TWRP. It will ask for you PIN set up earlier to decrypt the data partition.

Go to backup, choose a storage, I only had internal.

Backup all partions that make sense to you (EFS for me). If you chose SDcard for storage, turn off the phone, remove the card and copy the backup to your PC and skip to step 12. If you selected internal storage, carry on.

Boot your phone. Since we did nothing to prevent the dm-verity from working, this will reset your recovery.

Copy your backup from internal storage to your PC

Go back to bootloader mode as in step 3

Reflash TWRP

from TWRP, go to wipe then advanced, then Format. This will erase everything. swipe to wipe "Data/Cache/Dalvik".

[*]Go back and tap "Advanced". Wipe "System".

Copy the file your downloaded earlier on your phone using "adb push"

Go back and install the ROM, Magisk and the dm-verity zip. Magisk will give you root.

Reboot and enjoy !

EDIT : Reworked because I kept having to enter my PIN number on boot and I had a GPS icon showing even when locations were turned off. bold text is new instructions. I striked the old ones.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Horrible Username:
I didn't need to do all of the above steps, it just seemed to install fine.

Or maybe I did, It's been a while since I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP.

This Rom seems to be running great. I'm on my second update now, and the only problem I've run into is after the update, I'll need to reboot twice to get the phone fully functional. The update settings are on stock, so the update happens in TWRP. After it installs and reboots, my phone won't initialize/read the sim card properly. No LTE, the phone will show the network provider and the imei, but everything else is "unknown". I need to do a second reboot to get things running properly.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Oremusnix:
Cam buggy again on version 20190522-0004

I updated to the latest version(CARBON-CR-7.0-OPAL-WEEKLY-cedric-20190522-0004) through the OTA updater and everything works fine except for the camera that is buggy again.

Some photos are correct but sometimes they get scrambled. some with a green tint except for a square on the top right. Or a shadow red hue overlappting.

I did not encounter this behavior on the previous version 20190515. Maybe a regression ?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] BixilonA:
Reboots

So. After 2 Weeks of testing.....

1 big problem: After rebooting, the phone reboots after (ca) 30secs. This happens only when AFWall+ (Donate) has superuser permissions(With Magisk)

The next problem is, that my phone randomly hangs up and reboots. Its just crashing. Then there is the first problem.

And when I upgrade via OTA, I first must copy the zip file to the sd card. Why not doing it automatically?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] OfficerJimLahey:
Finally noticed that myself. However was on the road so I could not treat myself to a log of it. I have the opportunity to try again soon though.

That problem is consistent, unfortunately. Happens in low light.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] OfficerJimLahey:
Speculation since this is the first i heard of that, I would say your modifications are disturbing the system to prevent an OTA. Probably explains the other ill effects too.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] BixilonA:
hmm. Its only rooted. And later I "xposed" the phone. Xposed has only Gravity Box enabled. Root only afwall+; EdXposed Installer and Titanium Backup. Nothing more
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] OfficerJimLahey:
Yeesh, all that is a lot. And we cannot support bug resolution when XPosed (which is made for AOSP, not their derivatives) is in play.

FWIW, rooting by definition, changes the system (adds superuser functionality). All else has to the potential to make further changes to system.

However, lets rule out that as an issue. You can try:

Doing a TWRP backup (nandroid)

Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system

Flash only the ROM (May 22nd build) (and Gapps)

Turn on developer options, ADB, connect to PC for logcat

Reattempt the issues you have found (May 22nd build means an update will still be waiting)

For anything awry, please send those logs
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Arbition:
Looks like my mobile radio isn't working. I suspect it may be because I have a regional variant which doesn't match the rom quite right, so for now I'm going back to official. Having seen the LED which never showed up in the stock rom, I'm going to give this another try fairly soon. Cheers.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] junior276:
Where can I see the changelog?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Arbition:
I still can't get the radio working. Should I build the rom myself? What do I extract from the stock rom? My phone is a XT1676 RETAPAC. Maybe I should try building it myself? Is this guide any good? https://www.lineageosrom.com/2017/01/how-to-build-lineageos-rom-for-any.html
