I have hardware that can build it.

Currently I'm learning to build for my old phones Moto G7 Power and Redmi Note 7.

For the moment, I'm just trying to understand how it all works, by following the documentation, yes it works, but you have to understand how it works.

When I know how to do it I'll take the little that exists for the j3 2017 and do the porting.

I can confirm for anyone who thinks it's easy to do:

No it's not easy at all, for recent versions of Lineage or other everything is doable without too much trouble, but compiling an older version is more complicated, some resources are no longer available.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Guides, News, & Discussio] zer0_Clover:
i think i might have found what causing audio to not work on project kebap maybe. in the project kebap zip there are device specific folders for each 7570 device and there is a main "vendor" folder. only in the j3 folder is "audio.primary.exynos7570.so". i did a md5 checksum of the audio.primary.exynos7570 in both the j3 and vendor folders, they didnt match, so thats fine. i extracted the system.img from j3 stock rom and looked in the vendor folder from stock rom and vendor folder from kebap. both had "audio.primary.default.so", i checksumed them and they didnt match. the stock audio.primary.default isnt in the j3 folder. in the exy7570 group asarre said that the audio doesnt work because the treble audio HAL doesnt work on j3. if my stupid theory is correct then the reason for audio not working is because he forgot to copy a single file. might make a flashable zip to test this out. sadly i use this phone as my daily driver so i cant wipe my system just yet. can you test it? or anyone else here.

how to do it, at least if it works:

1:have project kebap 2.0 and a gsi installed and working

2:download the audio.primary.default.so.zip on this post and unzip it

3put it on your phone

4 reboot to twrp

5: mount /vendor

6: go to /vendor/lib/hw and paste this audio.primary.so there

7: maybe it works 🙏

I bought a 7 Pro this summer and I've had problems with it like overheating, and constantly connecting/disconnecting over USB when its connected to my PC, but now the radio is ****ed up on it. It won't hold an internet connection in 4G or 5G mode.

I put my sim in a $200 Motorola phone and internet reliability problems went away. But this Motorola radio is slow. 4G speeds are 16Mb/s down and 12Mb/s up whearas with the 7 Pro download speeds in 4 G are 30Mb/s (don't recall upload). 5G speeds are off the charts on the 7 Pro, but I need reliability.

I bought the phone outright and don't really want another of the same thing since it too will probably break and even then, who do I call to exchange it since I bought it at BestBuy. Any ideas on what are the competing phones that are rootable?

best phones for rooting 2023
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Anything that isn't TENSOR (khm khm Exynos) or Mediathek should be fine. So, get a flagship SOC like the 8gen2 or soon the 8gen3. You won't go wrong with those SOCs. They're twice as efficient and provide twice as much raw performance.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] powershift:
That was helpful, I appreciate you sharing your chipset knowledge.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
I agree 👍
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Guyinlaca:
I'd recommend the Motorola Edge+ 2023 or the OnePlus 11. Both use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with superior reception, battery life, and overall performance. The Motorola also has near stock Android so it would give you a very similar experience to the Pixels.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
Bigger the brand, higher the premium. This premium is mostly just to cover their marketing expenses and brand image (and to fill the bank accounts of their senior staff), NOT FOR A BETTER PRODUCT OR EXPERIENCE.

Google hardware, just like Apple hardware, is super overpriced and too much hype with no substance. Their quality are at par with other products in the market that sell for less than half their price.

If you really care for VALUE, go with other brands. Samsung, Vivo, IQOO, OnePlus, Nothing, Xiaomi, etc. ALL offer excellent value for their products, and their flagship line are simply SUPERIOR (in pretty much every aspect, except for cameras where they may be just slightly behind) to the products from Google and Apple.

If rooting is important for you (it no longer adds value to me today), then go with OnePlus or Xiaomi.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Locoman_:
"Bigger the brand, higher the premium"... so buy a Samsung?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
Samsung has a phone for several budget points, and their flagship S series are wayy better than the Pixels. They are better, and offer better value too than Pixels.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:
I never trusted Samsung since they sent that update to the note some years ago that prevented it from charging and, forced people to get a newer note. That wasn't cool.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
"Better value too than Pixels" maybe in terms of premiere high-end hardware per $; but value in terms of budget-value -- the whole niche/advertising that Google is doing with Pixels is to offer "flagship" smartphone at a lower "value" -- I don't you can say the same.....

Not too many (outside of the iPhone sheeple) are willing to pay the premium for that "better value" ($1200 retail for 256GB I believe) where one can get much or close enough to the high end offering at Google's $1060 at the same storage capacity; not to say the cheapest Pixel 8 Pro is $1000 at 128GB to speak to that kind of "value". So it's not a way big point to Samsung if that is the "value" you are speaking to; there's not too many that would affect/relate-to....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
You mean the Note 7?

Samsung Ultra may be more expensive than the Pixel Pro, but their hardware and software are much superior than the ones Google uses, and so your experience is much better in that sense. You get better return for the money spent. This is what I meant by 'value'.

From your signature, I see you have rooted pretty much all your devices and been using several mods to make the phone work to your liking. I don't have to do any of these on my Samsung/ OnePlus/ iQOO phones as they have much of what I want, and which the Pixel doesn't have.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Locoman_:
So better value and superior for your use case then. What device are you using now? Down the road I might go back to One+ but I'm loving Google's AI/photography.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
Samsung S22 Ultra is my primary phone. I also use the OnePlus 8T and iQOO Neo 6 as my secondary phones. And the iPhone 13 Mini for its tiny, cute form factor.

I'm more of a point and shoot type of user and want my pictures/ videos to look great without additional effort. In that sense, I'm part of the typical user type that constitutes over 98% of the user base. The S22U was the perfect phone, because in addition to having great cameras, OneUI with Goodlock modules offer top-class experience. Both hardware and software on Samsung are excellent.

Ever since Carl Pei left OnePlus, the software on that brand has taken a huge beating. I can't think of a good reason why they made some of the changes that they did. I don't mind the ColorOS flavor, but some of the changes are plain ridiculous. Until they fix that, I'm unlikely to buy another OnePlus phone.

Among the phones I mentioned above, iQOO Neo 6 is my newest addition and I'm very happy with FunTouch OS 13. So after Samsung, Vivo/ iQOO would be my second brand of choice. I have to leave out Xiaomi because they don't allow gesture navigation with 3rd party launchers, and this is a deal breaker for me.

I won't root or install custom ROMs on my phones, especially my primary phone, because I have trust/ privacy concerns.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] havlaz:
i think its an issue with the bands . if in your carrier/contrey doesnt have the band that the pixel 8 pro have, then no hack can fix it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
I haven't tried. I used it on my p7p, but felt the 5g was not great and it kept skipping between. I spent quite a bit of time looking at it, and it is something about the pixel modem only wanting 5g networks that are NA. So, here they are all SA only and google will not allow that, for whatever reason. I will admit, I am not skilled enough in the area to figure out why/where/how to fix it, but that is the area that needs to be changed in the modem.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] null0seven:
But Google say that 8 & 8 pro will fix the stupid problem with bands, network & wifi that are in 7 pro..

It will be nice if people write in what country they use 8 pro and if they have problems like in 7 pro.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
Both p7p and p8p work fine on 4g out of the box in China for me. Neither will to 5g as I mentioned before. I turned on network signal guru and 5g will work on both. You just need to force SA 5g, as google does not support it natively.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Bofahad:
Yes it's working
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
Forcing is a bit much. Just set the NR mode to SA+NSA.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
That is what I meant. Hit the toggle to force the phone to recognize SA, otherwise it will not.

Edit: Looking back at the settings the NR MODE SETTING is under forcing, is there some other place to find it on network signal guru? Or are you saying google has a setting somewhere for this?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
Well, something changed. I decided to set everything back to default and suddenly my 5g was working without modifications here. Might be that my carrier set up NSA ability or something.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I usually associate the forcing menu with band forcing. But yes, NR mode is in that menu. Didn't mean to confuse.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yes, this is intentional by Google. On A14, apps which target outdated Android versions will be blocked when installing. Here's a workaround you can try...

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block apk_name.apk
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] carrot34:
Thank you!!! That did it!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Raz0Rfail:
If the phone is rooted you can achieve this as well directly on the phone.

You need an Android terminal like Termux.

Then the APK has copied to /data/local/tmp

When the APK is on the internal storage the installation will fall, because it can't access the file, so it needs to be in the tmp path.

You can copy the file to this path with any root file manager which works with Android 14. On my side it's only Total Commander (x-plore and FX doesn't work on my side).

To install it open the terminal app, then type:

su

Press enter

pm install /data/local/tmp/<APK file name> --bypass-low-target-sdk-block

Press enter
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] armaki:
Thank you but it did not work for me. Could you please check the attached and tell me what am I doing wrong?
