New build up. yea I said I don't maintain this OS anymore and this is still true but well:

- I've updated /e/ to latest supported version v1.17. Version 1.18 and later is for newer android versions only (one of the reasons why I cannot recommend /e/ anymore)

- manually added all backported security patches up to November (the more important reason why I cannot recommend /e/ anymore). December patches for A10 arent ready yet

- fixed /cache boot debugger (generating boot log in /cache/boot_debug )

- hopefully fixed a call bug (no audio in call)

- FDroid repos*: added Threema and Futo.org (checkout Futo Voice input a privacy friendly speech to text helper)

the december sec patch is quite heavy and contains important fixes so I will provide another build as soon as its backported (note: those backports are not by /e/ but the LineageOS community. /e/ leaves its users out in the rain.)

* to activate the new added FDroid repos you need to clear the app storage of the FDroid app (just cache is not enough). Afterwards you can enable the new added repos in the manage repositories section

Hello SteadfasterX,

I have no idea why, but I was still ban from telegram!!!! Impossible to post again on your thread. I succeed to install your twrp version. But of course when I rebooted the phone still with the old version of eOS, I couldn't call. I enabled again dev option, disable selinux, and adb root, and adb shell setenforce permissive. But still impossible to call. I decided to download the new version. I will come back when the new version is installed.

Thanks for help.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
maybe choose Matrix instead of Telegram but anyways the new TWRP should allow to update to the latest version
[/e/OS Project] Cyrmatt:
I succeed the update! But the phone still not willing to call... I try again with the permissive option. Ok for matrix, this is better for me.

:) i ve readed the post, of course, but I need to have an Google app for few apps, like maps and for install apps from play store that don t find on the e store...
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
you can install aurora which is connecting to google play store directly.

if the app does not work without gapps then choose LOS or wait until I had the time to test something (phonesky).

[/e/OS Project] pupunar:
:rolleyes: LOS need vendor partition and my j5 haven't!!! I appreciate your work so I prefer to wait if you make some rom 😊
[/e/OS Project] lPolarisl:
This thread explains how you can make a vendor partition, if that's the only thing holding you back :D (check the install steps)

On the other hand, is there a LOS for the J5 2017 based on android 10 ? Couldn't find any...
[/e/OS Project] pupunar:
😊 so, what do you think about others roms for j5y17lte... What is the better for you? the fastest and the lightest?:rolleyes:
[/e/OS Project] lPolarisl:
... What ?

Most of the roms I found seem to be ports of Samsung roms, but I don't need Samsung bloatware...

I'm currently using CrDroid, but the camera is stretched during video calls, that's why I'm asking if there are other roms based on Android 10 with a working camera.

So, is there an Android 10 LOS rom for this phone ?

Very nice rom, working great, thank you for your work.

Any news about getting it official?
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
My plan on going offcial is:

1. public testing (done)

2. selinux = enforcing (<-- current WIP)

3. public testing

4. Going official

5. Porting the j5 to the easy-installer
[/e/OS Project] emil19:
Thanks for your great rom. (y)I have installed it on a space locked J5, and now there are 9GB free flash space, this is great!

At the moment I see two minor problems:

Is it some hoe possible to fix the mac address for known networks. At the moment I get a new mac after each reboot.

Volte looks disabled with this rom. Is there a possibility to enable volte?

Thanks again for your great work.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
Find your Wi-Fi network in settings, edit that network scroll down to advanced options and select fixed MAC address.

No Voice over LTE is nothing you can find (often) in custom ROMs these days it is a pain in the ass to get that working .

Try. It should work as it is at least pie.
[/e/OS Project] emil19:
If I am not stupid, in my Wlan settings is no option fixed MAC address:

As volte is a bad workaround for a mobile network specification wiithout native voice support, its not surprising, that this solution is only pain in the ass...

no you're not stupid that setting was there for sure but might changed in a10..

[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
warped? u mean the preview (only that!) is stretched? that is a known issue and can't be fixed (by me or Astrako).

SElinux is enabled - since the latest build. Are you on the latest build?

there is not ONE language you need to understand. Mainly C and C++ but there is a lot of other languages within from python to Java everything you can think of. you can use the /e/ guides if you like to start with building a ROM https://doc.e.foundation/how-tos/#build-e-for-a-device
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
I plan to go official with this (as soon as all major issues have been solved) so OTA points to /e/ servers.

In order to make use of my OTA server you have to:

install my latest SHRP or TWRP release (otherwise OTA's will not be applied)

set the OTA server manually:

a) by ADB (req adb root enabled in dev options): adb root && adb shell setprop lineage.updater.uri "http://sfxota.binbash.rocks:8009/e-os/a10/api/v1/{device}/{type}/{incr}"

b) or by a Terminal app (req magisk): su && setprop lineage.updater.uri "http://sfxota.binbash.rocks:8009/e-os/a10/api/v1/{device}/{type}/{incr}"

c) or within TWRP/SHRP (no root req):

make a backup of just "system" then:

adb shell mount /system
adb shell
echo "lineage.updater.uri=http://sfxota.binbash.rocks:8009/e-os/a10/api/v1/{device}/{type}/{incr}" >> /system/build.prop

Only 2c) will survive a reboot but must be re-done after every OTA update.

I may change this in the next build until we go official as it turns out it might take longer then expected.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
as said you need the latest:

SHRP: https://leech.binbash.rocks:8008/SHRP/j5y17lte/

TWRP: https://leech.binbash.rocks:8008/TWRP/j5y17lte/
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
"My camera" means the /e/ cam or any other?
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
ah yea a selinux victim. u can disable selinux until the new release which should fix that.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
enforcing is very new with this ROM so that was expected. I cant test everything alone..
[/e/OS Project] francescum:
SElinux is disabled in my phone ...
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
Did you read my above answer? You must be on the latest build. I've also provided how to do the OTA ..
[/e/OS Project] francescum:
I think yes i have thé last build. No ?

And yes i have execute the command in a terminal for the OTA but no update.

2 screenshot.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
bad luck there was a small time slot where a build was online without enforcing. I have mentioned that in my automation channel, always a good idea to keep an eye on it.

Please flash the latest ROM which has the same date as yours in recovery manually.
[/e/OS Project] francescum:
Done with succes! thx
[/e/OS Project] francescum:
but now i have a problem with the sound when i make calls. my interlocutor does not hear me and on my side the sound cuts

Are there any more detailed guides to flashing this? It seems I can only manage to bootloop the phone when flashing twrp unless there's something I'm missing.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
you would:

1. you unlock the device (there are guides for that)

2. flash latest TWRP in ODIN

3. boot directly to TWRP after that (otherwise TWRP will be overwritten on android boot - if you missed to boot into TWRP you have to repeat that step)

4. doing a full clean as described in FAQ 2

5. flash this ROM

If you struggle in flashing TWRP tell us which TWRP version you try, what ODIN version, how you flashed it in ODIN (i.e. in which slot)

also ensure you match the requirement as in the OP regarding the stock firmware version first.

Hello,

Nice ROM, good job !

I ve needed to switch off SELinux to enable camera.

Only big issue so far is that the device is unlockable.

Thanks for a great Rom. I cannot use the camera. Can you tell me how to disable SELinux?

I've extended FAQ #1 for that. Check it out ;)
[/e/OS Project] Zubenelhakrabi:
Your ROM is great, but with the latest release I have the same problem as francescum's. In his words:

On my SM-J530F I flashed stock version J530FXXS7CTF1 and I unlocked through the Developer Options menu. System is unrooted. Since the issue goes away when in permissive mode, I took two logcats. The first was taken during an incoming call with SELinux in enforcing mode. I switched the speaker alternatively on or off after each loss of sound. In this case the audio went off shortly after I answered the call, then I switched the speaker on and the audio went back on for a short while (1-2 s) before going off again, then I switched the speaker off and the audio went on for another short while, and so on:

SELinux enforcing: https://pastebin.com/s0AR9UDm

The other log was also taken during an incoming call, but this time SELinux had been set to permissive mode with "setenforce permissive". I switched the speaker on and off a few times as before, but in this case the audio never went off:

SELinux permissive: https://pastebin.com/JXQHqf27
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
Many thx this helps a lot
[/e/OS Project] oturpe:
This is great! For three years I have suffered every time I use my phone, simply from the realization that there is no way to kick Google out of it. Except now that is discovered /e/ and this ROM. A donation is coming your way.

Is there any reason why the e-1.0 download is still available on the server? People who do not read the whole thread (like me) may select it because 1.0 > 0.15, only to realize after flashing that they got an old version.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
there is no specific reason. older releases will be auto-deleted but only at specific schedules. but you are right 1.0 causes confusion here so I removed them manually. thx.
[/e/OS Project] oturpe:
Nice, thanks.

I have now ran this ROM in my main & only phone for two days. Apart from the already reported issue with SELinux and phone call audio, I have discovered another problem. I am not sure if it is actually caused by the ROM, but I document it here just in case it turns out to be related.

First, disclaimer #1 is that I unfortunately had to start from non-supported stock ROM J530FXXS8CUB1. This was already on the phone and phone's Download mode refused to accept an older ROM, due to "Rev. check fail" when I was trying to upload. I was using Heimdall on Linux for the upload. Disclaimer #2 is that this is second time I have installed a ROM on a Phone and the previous time was years ago when I replaced Android 2.1 with CyanogenMod. So, it may be that I made some mistakes during the installation.

Anyhow, the problems is this: The standard Camera app from /e/OS takes photos just fine, but videos are corrupted somehow. Playback shows only a still image and video length is shown as 98 hours or something like that. Gallery app shows other videos just fine, and the corrupted videos cannot be played on laptop either, so the problem really happens when saving the video.

The workaround I discovered was to install the CameraMX app from Apps. Videos taken by it are also corrupted, *but* if its FX mode is enabled, videos are saved correctly. Even if no effects are enabled.
[/e/OS Project] ralf_shumway:
this is actually the ROM i was looking for ! the last release is a must. thank you so much (y)
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
Pls follow FAQ #1 in the second post of this thread
[/e/OS Project] Zubenelhakrabi:
By the way, SHRP is currently unable to backup the /data partition. I suspect this is due to the FBE implementation. Is there any way to address or circumvent this issue?
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
when you try to backup /data can you share the recovery.log aftewards?
[/e/OS Project] BoNt3k:
Thanx for great rom!

whats the differences between Unofficial and Custom ?

[/e/OS Project] BoNt3k:
thanx bro. Will test

tested:

I found 1 issue:

after 3-4 seconds after recieving/calling other person via phone the ear speaker is not working.

If we swap between ear speaker to loud speaker then is ok also for only for 3-4 seconds..

and again...change between ear speaker to loud speaker we always hear only for 3-4 seconds...

any fix For it dude?

anyway its very very good rom!
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
Yes. Follow faq 1
[/e/OS Project] Joji94:
"SUCCESS"

The ROM is really smooth and light.

The idea of getting OTA updates on a 4-year-old phone is really exciting.

The only problem I encountered, like others I read, is the microphone during calls.
[/e/OS Project] Zubenelhakrabi:
News about SHRP: I understand that the recovery is expected to ask for a decrypting password at boot when /data is encrypted. Since SHRP does not ask for my PIN, I tried to force decryption via command line (https://twrp.me/faq/openrecoveryscript.html) and got the following:

j5y17lte:/ # twrp decrypt ********
Attempting to decrypt data partition or user data via command line.
No crypto support was compiled into this build.
j5y17lte:/ #

SHRP's current behaviour is then expected.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
Pls see: https://code.binbash.rocks:8443/MVA...mmit/bfb5fe5ef00980739a72f50ed8376dfc12c20813
[/e/OS Project] Zubenelhakrabi:
Shouldn't the recovery try to backup the whole data partition as a single encrypted file then? Yet the log shows a per-file approach:

788.| I:addFile '/data/misc_de/0/xnnZ+wmTPfWXkfeWumVXaD' including root: 0
789.| ==> set selinux context: u:object_r:storaged_data_file:s0
790.| I:addFile '/data/system' including root: 0
791.| ==> set selinux context: u:object_r:system_data_file:s0
792.| I:addFile '/data/system/EKRwi+BdRece6DSbSzpxxB' including root: 0
793.| ==> set selinux context: u:object_r:system_data_file:s0
794.| I:Error adding file '/data/system/EKRwi+BdRece6DSbSzpxxB' to '/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/5203ac375f5ab43b/2021-04-07--18-44-04_e_j5y17lte-userdebug_10_QQ3A200805001_30_UN/data.ext4.win'
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
FBE (FILE based encryption), encrypts just files not a whole partition (which is done by FDE, Full Disk Encryption). So the recovery just see files there. It does not know anything else (e.g. that these are encrypted files) as this has been disabled in my recovery builds (bc - as said this is not working and might never will).

TL;DR

the recovery will try to backup files as this is what they are: files. that part is expected.

So one can ask: why is that failing then? Good question, the log does not really help here. Is it worth digging deeper - u may ask. well. lets say you have a backup of that encrypted data and wipe your device, restoring the backup, and then.. nothing. the device will not be able to decrypt these files again due to the wipe and so its useless backing up /data at all.

Instead I recommend using regular backups within Android. I use Titanium Backup (paid ed) , encrypt these and upload the encrypted backup in gdrive.
[/e/OS Project] Zubenelhakrabi:
Thanks for your explanation. I know FBE is mandatory from Android 10 on, but this issue makes me wonder how much that really adds to security vs usability, for custom ROM users particularly. I think I will follow your advice for backups.
[/e/OS Project] Joji94:
You only flashed the universal patch or you needed to flash the MagiskHide Props Config in addition to this module?
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
@francescum

@Zubenelhakrabi

@oturpe

@BoNt3k

The latest build from today (CUSTOM) contains the fix for the call issue.

UNOFFICIAL build follows in approx 9 hours (otherwise I would overwrite the today's build..). Check my TG group for a notification.

So if you are on UNOFFICIAL wait for the tomorrow build or switch to the CUSTOM one (wipe system partition before then).

Pls note that CUSTOM from yesterday and UNOFFICIAL from today contains a fix regarding the OTA server access - so once flashed OTA will work again. I mentioned that in my TG channel.

Well I cannot re-produce this issue here so logs are crucial important.

Pls try it again on the latest build and follow FAQ #1 to provide the proper logs.
[/e/OS Project] oturpe:
Uh, sorry, email notifications from xda-developers stopped coming, so I did not realise that you had requested more information. Anyhow, I cannot reproduce the issue anymore either, not in the newest version or in the one I had when I initially reported it. I have no idea what changed. Strange, but anyhow, case closed.

The new version works well for me, call audio and everything.

One new problem I have discovered is that press&hold for power button does not work as it used before I flashed anything, i.e. power off or power on the phone. To power the phone on, I need to go to download mode through press&hold Power+Home+VolumeDown, then Cancel to get a normal reboot. Logcat from trying to power off a running phone with press&hold of power button here: https://pastebin.com/BNc99x22
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
sorry dont get you. you say that when you long press the power button it does not show the reboot/poweroff menu ? that would be really weird as this works pretty fine.

regarding the power on: do you really have flashed my latest SHRP and booted once there? TWRP will cause issues.

other then that: you should follow FAQ #2 and do a

full clean

install. This might fix your power menu issue as well.
[/e/OS Project] oturpe:
Regarding reboot/poweroff menu, yes it shows on press&hold. For some reason I thought that even longer press should force power off. Maybe that is not so (and never was on this model), and that's fine - the power on side is the one that is bothering me.

Regarding power on, I have your SHRP build, the v3.0 one. I booted it again and now press&hold works. Maybe that helped, or maybe there is a mechanical problem with the button causing random problems.

Case closed, thank you for the support & sorry for bothering you.
[/e/OS Project] steadfasterX:
no, long pressing power do not power off the device. v3.1 is the latest SHRP btw ;)
