Hello,
I've started to work on CyanogenMod for the G850F. If anbody knows how to port a ROM or knows C/C++ and want to work together, feel free to contact me! Reading and understanding strace output is essential.
https://git.cryptomilk.org/projects/android/android_device_samsung_slte.git/
I will post my progress in this thread.
If you know how to write C code or Java code, please pick an item and send patches. You should know how to use strace and gdb.

I've successfully created a ROM but the recovery isn't working. I need to create a new working TWRP recovery first ...

super thanks man ... i wish i'd know something about porting but great work man
Can someone tell me the usb vendor id and product id if you have your device (stock rom) connected via usb mtp?
The current TWRP changes are in my TESTING branch but it doesn't work yet. The kernel is started cause init.rc sets the correct usb vendor and product ID. But I don't get any graphics, so it looks like it can't start the recovery itself ...
Finally I have the recovery working. At the moment with a hack to init.c to disable setting selinux into enforcing mode. The current issue is that adb isn't working and that's bad for development cause you need a shell if the system doesn't boot to check the kernel ring buffer ...
@modpunk
I can not imagine ALPHA forum without you, God forbid, god help me somehow I can hep you in Development
but I`m tabula rasa in program language
I finally got adb on the recovery working
Code:
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_ffs/aliases adb
is the issue. This seems to be broken in the Kernel ...
bonuzzz and I are trying to get CM-12.0 working. The first important hint was from Christopher R. Palmer that the mali blob has linking issues and we need to fix that. Now we discovered that the EntropyMixer is trying to read /dev/hw_random in an infinite loop, so it never finished the boot process. Luckily the N910 has newer source code with fixes for the hardware RNG. Maybe this fixes it ...
cm12 is working
not working:
wifi
modem
mtp
working:
audio
camera
flashlight
vibrate
touchscreen
bluetooth
gps not tested
Awesome guys! The only reason I've hung on to my Alpha is because I knew you guys would be able to come up with something

That's great! But I think the bug list located in the thread OP needs an update. Does video decoding / playback work on your build?

I wrote in the previous post that wifi and modem (mobile data in particular) are not working. there are main issues for now. i haven't tested video playback/decoding because of its pointless now.

Will the work applied to this be ported to the Snapdragon Galaxy Alpha once finished?
I would assume that's easier.. as you don't need the Exynos things?
Cheers.

Hopefully its easier , then it would mean more Roms, recover and cm available for g850w
Sent from my b1-720 using XDA Free mobile app
Snapdragon variant has almost different hardware, so it would be not easier to port.. I have exynos variant, so I do cm for it only.

This kernel will be kept simple and inline with stock and free from buzzfree stuff..as the aim is a stable day-to-day use kernel..this kernel is NOT for those who want to break records..as i do not believe and rely on benchmarks..(its me..)
Disclaimer:
i nor xda would be at fault if something weird beyond my test results happen to your phone..also this is not a benchmark kernel..if you like crunching numbers and breaking records go use another kernel..this is meant to save juice and be efficient and stable as a daily driver for Samsung based ROMS..
Features:
- Based on i9205/i9195 source from Samsung OSRC(Thanks for the borked source)
- Fixed a few things left by Samsung to be broken
- Simple and no fancy stuff thats gonna bork your phones..more stuff does not guarantee it's better..
- User voltage control from faux123 for Krait CPU's..
- EXFat support(by Samsung OSRC..)
- OC(if already stable)
- will populate more as things get stable
- Selinux permission is set from enforcing to permissive via ramdisk
- insecure boot image
- Disabled Rooting security measures implemented by Samsung..
Pre-requisites
- Install busybox via CWM or via Playstore before installing my kernel..this is to make sure init.d and also some scripts work properly..
Downloads here: Test build 5(ML1 Ramdisk)
My git: source
Credits:
- noone in particular but thanks to ALL the wonderful devs here in XDA..
If you like the builds please help me get a Soda/pay bills..or the least is just hit the Thanks Button..
one more in case..
uploading..
please report/feedback on any issue you might encounter..please do provide logs(last_kmsg, logcats, dmesg...etc..) so that i can shoot things out..i do not own the device yet and surely things can go wacky along the way..
TIA
kindly someone report if the build boots up..
What do you mean with those features?
- Fixed a few things left by Samsung to be broken
- Removed most of the crappy and buggy stuff..
- GPU Idling fix..

thanks will invetigate the logs provided..can you upload a stock image of the i9200 btw??so i can check if there are specific differences from the ramdisk of the i9200 from i9205..afaik aside from the LTE there should be other differences from them..
re: root it might have been because of the ramdisk i used..can you shift to Koush's superuser??chainfire's supersu has been finicky with my HTC 4.3 update but Koush's never had a glitch..
Thank you very much for the feedback!!
edit: get the SuperUser by Koush here

Lol , this thread will be closed. Didnt you saw what happened to aosp rom thread?????? Just post thread link instead of rom link as ur posting someone else work!!
Short Review
It's been an hour since i flashed the rom. Till now my phone has rebooted only once. The overall rom is very very smooth and finished. Haven't faced any problem except the one reboot. Will update if anything arises. Thanks a lot Ivan for putting so much effort on this rom.
Where is @zelendel ?? lol
Probably recharging his batteries, or, fighting terrorism. Either way the mods rock xD.
Will download and play around with the ROM later when internet is better, anyone see if Ivan incorporated an updater app into this AOSP ROM as well?
Thanks!
Thread closed.
Do not post the work of others. Also No kernel source code which is required by law and our rules.

You have to understand. This OEM and development team has a lot of hatred from the devs here. Almost no devs will touch this device or miui and our main focus is on developers. Not so much users.

DOWNLOAD OmniROM for Xperia X
NOTICE: Install TWRP from second post if you are currently using a sonyxperiadev kernel based recovery
If you don't you might and up with a non-working touchscreen in recovery
OmniROM weeklies for Xperia X have been around since the beginning of march 2017. Untill now, all weekly builds were based on AOSP and using a fork of het sonyxperiadev unified kernel.
All roms for all devices which are based on this fantastic sony opensource project have one thing in common: they lack the user experience of stock based camera. Which seems to be a blocking issue for many users to use OmniROM (or any custom rom based on the AOSP OSS project for that sake) as a daily driver.
Last weeks @humberos, @oshmoun and me worked very hard to implement this in OmniROM, and we are proud to announce that starting this weekly build, stock camera is implemented in OmniROM.
Please report any issues here. Please keep in mind that we can only look into issues we always need LOGCATS and DMESGS. For howto's and tuts for adb and pulling logs with adb, please use XDA search function, or use google.
Known issue for now, is that 4K videorecording is not working. We disabled that in current builds.

The rom however contains a certain lib from a waldvogel threat and that lib is referenced in init
Thanks for the ROM, I was looking forward this after the closing of Concept project! Only one question: the bugs are the same between Xperia X and Xperia X Compact? Because X Compact has
1. 4K video recording is disabled
2. Video recording using the default camera app only records up to about 25 seconds
(use open camera or any other camera app to avoid the issue)
3. H+ symbol does not show when connected using HSPA+
while here is said it only has the first bug. Thanks in advance!
previous builds had problem with in call audio volume adjustment, does it work from now on ?
Hi, i found a big issue in the actually weekly, last weekly all working. Ich can't correct restart about the extended restartmenu in Recovery Mode of twrp 3.1. The Recovery starting and the Touch Screen don't work. Only when i Switch off and start with the buttons the Touch Screen in twrp is working, but the Keys Up and down changed from Up to down. Bootloader Mode the Same, isn't working, don't start about extended restart menu. Ich reflash twrp, after that the same. I'm use the single Sim Version of the xperia x!!!! Please fix it

No, i haven't tried myself but i think i saw something about dual boot for s9 somewhere so should be easy to port over.
This is my daily driver now, dont think i will be using stock firmware again as this has everything i need.
Also if you dualboot alongside stock firmware im sure there will be a vendor mismatch problem.
ARK2 is what it is based on, any other vendors will either not boot at all or will break the cameras.

The reason why I want to dual boot is to not lose my data which is work related (some apps cant be simply reinstalled), but i really want to install your ROM!
Ill take a look and see if there is a way!

Battery life for me is very similar compared to stock, but my phone feels much faster, benchmarks score around the same only slightly higher.
If you are unrooted i don't think there is a safe way to backup your app data.
I hope my request is not a burdensome one to you but can you make a build for the korean version of note 9 (N960N)?

Hell yes !! Thanks to the dev to make it possible ! Just a few questions about the spen before flashing that masterpiece
Are the spen and its features fully compatible with the rom just like the stock one or will I need to do some manipulations to get it ? And how about the spen smoothness in general ?
Thanks in advance

The Spen works well and will act like a mouse like it does in all aosp roms, it works to hover it over the screen and sensitivity is good, but the button won't work.

Yeah I understand what you mean. Not gonna lie that a bit frustrating. I'm a daily user of the Spen and that's way I was asking for it. I mean almost all its features are there excepting that button.. Anyway I will probably flash that one but do you know if it would be possible to make that button work in the future ?

I highly doubt AOSP will support the bluetooth button charging etc, as it's a samsung specific thing
for the S-Pen, I have been using AOSP rom 8.1
if you love AOSP and have a good reason to flash it, then it is possible to gain back some of the spen features in AOSP, not as smooth as in Sammy's Roms but ok, I posted what i did here, there is even a video showing what I did. it involves root, and xposed, (now ed exposed)
as for the spen bluetooth capability, the Spen is still active and recharges by itself. if you download nRF connect or lightblue apps from playstore, once you click the button you can see the pen as a bluetooth device SPEN (0D27) ZK, through these apps you can even subscribe to the service and get notifications when the button is pressed, so techinically speaking if someone has app development knowledge this can be done easily. to my limited knowledge I documented what I have discovered here
I have suggested to nRF connect App devs if they can have a tasker plugin so we upon a spen button click we can use tasker to make different actions, they reacted positively, the dev mentioned that they might work on it but might take some time since they are short resourced. but been some time since.
I did a funny workaround once, they keep the log in data/data/no.nordicsemi.android.log/databases, so when that file changes you can read the line change and read the button event, and trigger a tasker action.
its doable, just needs a proper dev that works on it. an AOSP spen remote, or even a custom BLE notification tasker plugin if he wants to make it universal and target alot of devices such as smartwatches..
last note: if the spen works funny in landscape, there is a post in the same thread showing how to fix it.
@Synt4x.93 I will flash this rom today.. Thank you for the awesome work..

Hi,
here you can find my LineageOS 16.0 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0.
This ROM fits only for the SM-T235 and SM-T235Y, not for the SM-T230 and SM-T231 (different chipset).
At first I want to thank @spookcity138 for your work on the kminilte,
I've reused some things here from you.
For sure thanks to everyone else who ever worked on the Exynos3470.
Here you can see what's working / not working so far:
Spoiler: Whats working
Audio
Bluetooth
Boot
Cameras
Graphics
GPS, not sure if completely
Mobile data
OTA Updates
RIL
Sensor
Tethering via USB, WIFI and Bluetooth
USB
Video playback (HW/SW)
Wifi
Spoiler: Whats not working
Hardware overlay's, disabled by default
Spoiler: Links
TWRP
T235 / T235Y ROM
If you are going to use Gapps,
I recommend to use the pico package!
https://opengapps.org/
For the others, you can use microG if you want, I've enabled signature spoofing.
Do you like my work?
Than you can simply hit the thanks button and consider to spend me a coffee or a beer,
I'm doing this in my free time and it also costs a lot of money to buy hardware.

Spoiler: How to improve GPS
You could use a gps.conf from https://app.box.com/s/w57s1v1n3hie7l5lk28i for your location and replace /system/etc/gps.conf.
Or you try GPS Server Optimizer app for a faster 3D fix.
For both methods you need root rights.

I'm testing it since yesterday and I have to say I'm really satisfied,
as soon as I have fixed the camera's, mobile data and the acceleration sensor, this ROM should be great.

Sounds good! Looking forward to try it out. And I hope there will be enough people left with these devices to be able to use your build.
Btw, did you have any use of the old marshmallow for it? Played a bit with it yesterday and it seems realy stable! The only thing that puts me off there is the small font.. There are of course ways to increase the size with some apps, but they are usually limited...
So, i hope there are usual ways to make the font bigger in your build for us elderly..

Nope ,
never tried this, you can set the font size as it should be in LOS, just try it if it's big enough .

Another day of work, it would have been too beautiful, if everything would be working .
Hi, where are the sources? In your github page, there aren't. I'm just curious to see what you have done, and in that way, I could fix something more in the other Tab 4 models that I maintain.

Managed install it finally! Have to give a tip to people that are going to do that - the latest TWRP can not mount the whole /data and format it if you have encryption. In that case you have to downgrade to the old 3.0.X TWRP first, and then go back to the latest TWRP to flash LOS16. Took me a while to find the solution for this
Writing this review on the t235, connected to a bt keyboard after the last OTA update..
Really good job! Everything seems to be working. And i can get bigger fonts! After the last update even bt works, which was important for me. The only bigger thing i haven't tested is mobile data.
And it's not that it's huge, but i am experiencing some microlags. Perhaps not surprising considering it's age and that it wasn't really a flagship device already when it was released..
Thank you for this! I will of course keep on testing for a while. And, just curious - will there be /e/?

This is normal, but you should be able to wipe the whole data partition.

I'm actually surprised, that it run's as well as it's doing, it could be worse with this hardware .

If you're my only user, not , but everybody could use my sources and build /e/ out of it,
it actually should work out of the box.
Update 22.05.2021:
Fixed menu button configuration in settings
Made some RAM optimizations and tweaks
Made an Android go config
Removed unneeded button light and LED code, this device doesn't have any of them
Created many selinux labels, so we could switch it to enforcing in the future
Via OTA.
Hi
Thanks for keeping our device alive
I've lost hope long time ago.
Where can I download this? been trying to revive this device for the past few weeks and finally saw this today!!
