[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] m3dteam:
Thanks musical_chair for making this ROM. I am trying to build it on my own but it seems that I am hitting a wall.

First here is my .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml: (let me know if I am missing anything, I suspect that this is the root of my issues)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="device/motorola/james" remote="github" name="musical-chairs/android_device_motorola_james" />
<project path="device/motorola/msm8937-common" remote="github" name="musical-chairs/android_device_motorola_msm8937-common" />
<project path="kernel/motorola/msm8953" remote="github" name="musical-chairs/android_kernel_motorola_msm8953" />
<project path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" name="musical-chairs/proprietary_vendor_motorola" revision="lineage-18.1-james"/>
</manifest>

The issue is that whenever I run james/extract-files.sh I am getting:

$DEVICE must be set before including this script!

Spoiler content hidden.

it is happening because "${BOARD_COMMON}" is blank, where is it supposed to be setup?

any help from your side would be greatly appreciated.

Update:

if I set BOARD_COMMON=msm8937-common [same as in hannah-common] the scripts starts pulling alot of files from lib64, which don't exit in a 32 bit device. This is telling me that BOARD_COMMON is supposed to be blank, but if that is the case, then why is the script always failing?

Update2: so I decided to build lineage os 17.1 for james from @whodat711 and it completed successfully. It is most likely that some of the paths in my manifest are wrong/not compatible with each other.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] musical_chairs:
It's probably happening because I haven't given extract-files.sh any attention; I'm not used to working that way - I just build from the vendor tree. So something is probably messed up there. I just lunch and make bacon.

You'll want to switch the vendor tree to the lineage-18.1-james2 branch as I did my best to unify my vendor tree to JarlPenguin's, to keep it in sync with his device tree. I don't think the build will boot without doing that.

I have some updates to push as soon as I get a chance. I fixed the error I posted earlier, also fixed some camera-related SELinux denials. Unfortunately, video record sync is still borked. Once I get a few minutes to clean everything up, I'll push my latest changes to github and then try to get a new build up.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] m3dteam:
Ok, so I can just do the following:

repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-18.1
repo sync
croot
lunch james-userdebug
make bacon

And that should be enough to build the rom, right?

Also, how did you make the vendor tree (in case if I have a different device )? did you just copy everything from /vendor/ & /system/ from your stock phone?

oh, also, this the mainfist you used, right?

<manifest>
<project path="device/motorola/james" remote="github" name="musical-chairs/android_device_motorola_james" />
<project path="device/motorola/msm8937-common" remote="github" name="musical-chairs/android_device_motorola_msm8937-common" />
<project path="kernel/motorola/msm8953" remote="github" name="musical-chairs/android_kernel_motorola_msm8953" />
<project path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" name="musical-chairs/proprietary_vendor_motorola" revision="lineage-18.1-james2"/>
</manifest>

Many thanks for your help, this is my first build.
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] musical_chairs:
Something like that. I do

source build/envsetup.sh

instead of croot, but maybe my way is outdated.

I fork other people's vendor trees and use them as a base. For james, I used https://github.com/moto-msm8937/proprietary_vendor_motorola and https://github.com/HyperTeam/proprietary_vendor_motorola. I've never tried to start from scratch on a new device. I'm not quite on that level.

Yup, that's what I'm working with. I believe I had to add

<!--Dependencies-->
<project path="external/bson" name="LineageOS/android_external_bson" />
<project path="system/qcom" name="LineageOS/android_system_qcom" />

to get it to build successfully.

You're welcome! Hopefully it is a pleasant learning experience for you!
[Moto E5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] m3dteam:
Many thanks, I will update the manifest, use your method and report back.

Also, I noticed that @whodat711 used msm8937 kernel while you are using msm8953? I am guessing it is because 17.1 vs 18.1
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] op_raftel:
My Redmi 9T WiFi's signal is very low compared to any other device I own (laptop, ipad and even an old samsung galaxy grand prime+) I'm wondering if someone have the same issue and how to fix it? when I purchased it I played with the QC test *#*#64663#*#* is it possible I did something wrong, can I revert to the default values? I even flashed a custom ROM but the wifi's signal is still very low, can a custom kernel fix the issue?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
Is the signal status full while searching for the wifi?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
How much speed are you getting?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] op_raftel:
if I'm next to the router the signal strength is around -60 dBm (3 filled lines out of 4 which bad enough), If I'm on the next room the signal strength is -90 dBm it's unusable.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] op_raftel:
If I'm on the next room, the connection drops altogether I can't even connect. In the same room, I'm able to get the full speed to the ISP. On other devices I can get full speed from anywhere.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
Have you tried changing wifi channels and the security encryptions to see if it fixes it?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
I've had that issue on my redmi 7a when I updated once.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
Also, the code you used has nothing to do with the wifi signal going low, it is just a code for hardware testing.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] op_raftel:
I've tried a different channel but no luck :/

Yeah that is exactly my problem I forgot to mention it, after updating from the officiel Xiaomi 12.0.5 to 12.0.9 I had this issue. Did you figure how to fix it? thanks for your help!
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
I initially assumed a kernal glitch actually.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
But after using the MiFlash tool and flashing the xiaomi stock rom it fixed itself.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
Just remember to flash a fastboot rom okay?

It should be stock.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] op_raftel:
I will definitely try it tomorrow, thanks. My phone was a global version, should I revert to the global one or use any other country? should I lock the bootloader?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
Use the global version definitely,

The reason I didn't say that is cause I didn't know whether it was global or not.

But I flashed global and it fixed it.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] op_raftel:
I'm currently using Evolution X which is using Android 11, the stock version is still on Android 10, I've read that is not recommended to downgrade the OS, is it safe?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
Oh has the kernel changed?

Check the versions between the roms
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
Nvm, this post shows exactly your situation.

https://xdaforums.com/t/can-i-downgrade-from-android-11-to-android-10.4267663/

They reccommend switching from Evo X to MIUI A11 based then downgrade
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] op_raftel:
View attachment 5339383

I don't remember If the kernel changed from stock, how can I verify?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Kenora_I:
No, it's fine, if you saw my other reply there's a link to another forum that another user has downgraded from the same ROM. A11 to A10
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Vermillion_PT.2:
Does it happen with Bluetooth too? Mine is both of them. Playing audio via bluetooth can't listen to anything unless the phone is right in front of my face.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] brodieb321:
I purchased my S21 about 5 weeks ago and I am not sure if I have been experiencing this issue since I bought it but in the last week, I have noticed this issue. When my phone is locked, the AOD will either show for a few seconds to a minute or just won't show. I've ensured it is set to always show, power-saving not set to turn it off, no Bixby routines and any updates are installed for phone/AOD. I've even factory reset my phone and removed the case and screen protector and the issues are still persisting. Does anyone else experience this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] blackhawk:
Disable all power management... it screws up all kinds of things.

Does AOD show if you tap the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] brodieb321:
I have disabled all power management that I am aware of and still experiencing issues. I've set it to show on tap and while it worked the first time, subsequent taps do not show the AOD

Video demonstrating AOD tap to show issue
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] blackhawk:
Sounds like a firmware glitch or the flash was corrupted.

Double check all AOD and screen lock settings.

Try turning AOD always on.

Try disabling screen lock... a lock out is the last thing you want anyway.

Play with it... Android's wuv attention.

The case or screen protector won't do this more than likely.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] brodieb321:
I normally use AOD always on, I'd tried the tap on the option to test. Going to try flashing it today to see if that helps despite the factory reset not helping.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] brodieb321:
So I've flashed the stock firmware back onto my device and the issues are still persisting. I've contacted support through the Samsung Members app and it's been escalated to the Research and Development team and am just waiting to hear back.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] blackhawk:
Did you update any Samsung apps after the reload before testing it? Go with the factory app loads.

Try disabling the lock screen... they tend to end up locking out the intended user anyway, sooner or latter.

If no one else is having this issue it very well maybe a hardware issue.

Did you ever wonder what happens when one or two micro transistor junctions out of the millions in a phone fail? Yes, well...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] brodieb321:
Unfortunately I can't recall if Samsung apps updated before I tested. I've already factory reset a few times so I'd rather avoid that for now. I've noticed the issues occur when using auto-brightness on AOD in lower light settings. When I say lower light, I mean in my study during the day which I never experienced issues with on my S20 FE. I've sent a report to Samsung Members and am waiting on them to come back to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] mookiexl:
The you

Did you ever get this fixed. I have the exact same issue on my s20 ultra

Edit: Nevermind just fixed it after 3 days troubleshooting. Oddly it was the the disable AOD while in power saving mode that needed to be disabled even though I don't use power saving mode. Samsung never seem to amaze me with these dumb persistent bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] brodieb321:
Glad to see you solved the issue. I'd already confirmed this setting was off for me. It's still happening. Looks like it's something to do with the level of light detection as the issue only happens when I have auto brightness set for the AOD. The problem is it's not even that dark when it's happening and never occurred with my S20 FE.

Have anyone successfully booted Android 12 beta 2GSI?

I followed the guide from https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-android-12/ multiple times, but every time Phones boots to fastboot.

Any Clue?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 11619513:
Having exactly the same drama with mine, either boots to existing system or bootloader. I flashed it back to stock on both slots and tried on each slot and booted to bootloader both attempts. next attempt was a factory reset and tried the dsu loader in developer options and still no dice, boots to existing A11 system every time.

I did have a brief trawl through the treble forum but didn't see much relating to a12 beta there, might have a better look another day as may be an answer in there somewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
I've got a USB-C Hub with: USB-C Power in, 2x USB-A, 1 USB-C, 1 3.5mm, SD/mSD, HDMI.

I connected the hub to: power via the USB-C Power in, an external HDD, 3.5mm headphones, HDMI to monitor, and I used that 1 USB-C port to connect it to Ethernet (I have an ethernet USB-C dongle/adapter). And, then, I plugged it into my phone of course.

I was able to backup the phone to the external HDD (it apparently encrypts the files with your Samsung Account credentials).

Also, luckily, the backup also included APP DATA for individual apps. You can see this in the end-result parts of the Smart Switch backup process.

Not for all apps.

But, for plenty of them.

The apks and the encrypted app data is there in the backup's folder-and-file structure.

I think it backs up any Android app that has the android:allowBackup not set to false (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element#allowbackup).

Hopefully, Samsung implements the new device-to-device migration features that allow us to fully transfer app data as needed to an external drive like this. Per that page: "Note: If your app targets Android 11 (API level 30) or higher, you cannot disable device-to-device migration of your app's files. The system automatically allows this functionality.".

I was also obviously able to use the ethernet/internet, DeX on HDMI (FHD display/monitory), and even play audio via the 3.5mm.

Hey I need help my phone keeps rebooting seconds after It goes to homesrceen

This happened after I format it using trwp. The reason I have format the phone is bcz all the apps were crashing, I can't use any apps, the Bluetooth won't work, flashlight won't work and my camera won't either. So I just went to format it via twrp. Now the phone keeps rebooting. The only time it does not reboot is when I am on the set up screen. I am using a Samsung j7

I have somehow permanently removed my MAC address and IP address (I still have a Bluetooth address and IEMI) thereby preventing my device from turning on wifi. I have wiped and formated, I have executed "fastboot erase modemst1/2", I have completed reflashed stock MIUI ROM along with vendor and firmware packages of various android versions, and still with every ROM I load my wifi does not function.... Are there any other solutions I may use as a last attempt or have I rendered my phone essentially useless for day-to-day use? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using the MiFlash tool and flashing a fastboot ROM?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Your phone does not have its 'own' IP address - IP address is dynamically given to your phone when you connect to the network (WLAN or Mobile Network) by use of DHCP service

Are you able to connect to the Mobile Internet?

When you connect to the Mobile Internet, your phone will be given the IP address there - see my screenshot "Mobile": WiFi disabled (hence MAC Address unavailable), but connected to Mobile Interntet and IP address 10.x.x.x (IPv4 address) given by my Mobile ooerator

On my "WLAN" screenshot, MAC Address is available (ofc, I had to partially erase on the screenshot) since WiFi is enabled, but IP address is now totally diferent, (long) IPv6 address given by my WLAN

Finally, on the "NoNet" screenshot, MAC Address is shown (WiFi enabled) but there is no IP address since not connected to Mobile Network nor WLAN

Back to your problem:

You say you flashed the Fastboot stock ROM but still no success.

Then either your WiFi chip is broken or you messed up your EFS partition - do you have a backup of your EFS and have you tried to restore?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] rickbos:
I have yes, unfortunately, this makes me worried that this cannot be fixed...
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:
Oh oops, um I saw this on another forum but can you open the wifi settings or does it crash?

You have informed us that the wifi cannot function, but can you access the settings or does it crash to the homescreen?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
You could inspect your kernel log - root is required

From PC, by ADB:

adb shell su -c dmesg > /sdcard/Download/dmesg.log

or from terminal app on the phone:

su -c dmesg > /sdcard/Download/dmesg.log

dmesg.log file will be saved to Internal memory, Download folder.

Open as a text file and search for lines containing wlan (and/or wifi)

I have many of them, specially one like:

wlan0(vdevid-0): <my_MAC_address> connected to <WLAN_AP_MAC_address>

You should probably find some warnings or errors.

If nothing, then your WiFi is not enabled?!
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] rickbos:
