NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.8 SD version (PPP + RMNET)
This is the latest, fastest, stable and clean *stock* Android build for HTC HD2.
This build includes Google Nexus One's OTA update (FRG83D - Android/Froyo 2.2.1). (released on Nov. 18, 2010)
Quadrent score is about 1866 when using a sync file system.

The default kernel is hastarin r8.5.3_oldcam, please visit his post below for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787588
Release Notes:
"Stock" build except blocking ads (hosts file is replaced) and adding "H" (HSDPA) icon and battery % icon
By default it is hastarin's EVO based kernel (support for PPP), but you can switch to N1 based kernel (support for RMNET) easily.
Switch to RMNET by executing "conn_RMNET_with_michyprima_R11_AXI.sh" or "conn_RMNET_with_huanyu_HAVS-BFQ-OC-UV-AXI_925mv-0.1.d-n1.sh" in the GScript folder and then reboot.
Switch to PPP by executing "conn_PPP_with_hastarin_r8.5.3_oldcam.sh" or "conn_PPP_with_hastarin_r8.5.3_eb_oldcam.sh" in the GScript folder and then reboot.
oldcam means the old camera driver for Nexus One build.
eb means the older battery driver with extended battery support.
Install "GScript Lite" from Android Market to execute these .sh files.
E.g.: You will see the text below if executing "conn_RMNET_with_michyprima_R11_AXI.sh" successfully.
RMNET is ready.
michyprima_R11_AXI is ready.
Finished.
Reboot required.

Create 512 MB data.img (You can specify the different data image size in startup.txt)
Rooted: superuser privileges (su and busybox) included
Some apps included (Delete any apk files in the AndroidApps folder before first boot if you don't like any of them.)
What is working:
WiFi
GPS (works great. I got a location within 15 seconds.)
3G/HSDPA
5MP Camera with flash, auto focus and zoom
Camcorder with flash
LED status notification
Keypad LED control
Auto Backlight
Bluetooth (BT headset is fully supported in calls, music streaming/A2DP, and files transfer.)
Compass
G-Sensor
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
WiFi Tethering/Hotspot (works with RMNET. For PPP, please install android-wifi-tether on Google Code)
USB Tethering (Please install android-wired-tether on Google Code)
USB Mass Storage (You can copy files from PC to PC. But Android apps cannot see the copied files in the phone before rebooting.)
Tips:
The battery power consumption on standby is about 5~7mA (less than 1% per hour) without SetCPU installed.
To my knowledge, the battery life is related to the WM ROM, radio version, and all the apps running in the background.
The default CPU clock rate is set to 245MHz ~ 998MHz, but you can install SetCPU to overclock.
Turn off the live wallpaper for better performance and battery life.
Install LauncherPro for a smoother home screen.
I have included the following apps in the AndroidApps folder, they will be installed at first boot:
DSPManager 1.0.apk
ES File Explorer 1.4.8.5.apk
Fancy Widget 1.3.0.apk (Time & Weather)
Superuser 2.3.6.1.apk
TeslaLED 2.0.4 Gala.apk
About 3G/HSDPA:
The stock Nexus One ROM only shows 3G icon in the status bar no matter if you are in HSDPA or not.
You can check under "Settings > About phone > Status > Mobile network type". If it says HSDPA, you are on the 3.5G network ("H" Network).
With v1.8, I have included FRG83D_stockbar_add-on_H_icon_and_battery%_icon.zip in the "Android/root" folder.
If you don't like this add-on, please delete the folder named "root" located in the "Android" folder before first boot.
Mod edit: Link removed
Please install MoreLocale 2 from Android Market to enable more languages if needed.
Please visit Nexus One Help website and try to find the answer when you encounter any software issues on NexusHD2-FRG83(D). Thanks.
Installation Instructions:
Extract the Android folder (with all files in in) to root of your SD Card. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
If you already have an Android folder on your SD Card DELETE IT OR RENAME IT, because this version MAY BE INCOMPATIBILE with older releases !!!
After copyng everything to your SD Card ensure you have at least 600 Mb free space for data store
After you have done all steps go into Android folder and tap CLRCAD (for working sound), and after that just tap HaRET.
On first run when there is "Creating a new datastore" just give it time to complete, and on first boot be patient and give it time to load everything.
If you get some strange errors, or Android does not work, try to reformat SD card and try everything from the start.
HD2 needs radio 2.08 or above to run Android. If you never upgrade your radio, you may not be able to run Android on HD2.
>>>> All apps will now function and install correctly. If you have an issue installing an app from the Android Market or another source, then go through the following steps:
>>>> - Go to Settings > SD & phone storage > Unmount SD card
>>>> - Now install your app, it will now install correctly and function fine
>>>> - Go to Settings > SD & phone storage > Mount SD card
My HD2 WinMo Info:
ROM: Stock 1.66.709.3 (76641) CHT
Radio: 2.12.50.02_2

1% ~ 1.2% per hour when being 3G standby.
You may change the kernel (zImage) for better battery life.
E.g.: huanyu's kernel is about 1%: 925mv_BFS_BFQ-0.3.1.zip

You need to modify "/system/build.prop" by yourself.
change "ro.sf.lcd_density=240" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=180" or whatever you want.
Hi,
I own a Toshiba AC100 loaded with Android 2.1. Toshiba promised since the launch an update for Android. Nothing is out today.
I saw that a guy has achieved to port Honeycomb to Nook Color using the preview sdk. I really would like to know from you experts if this would be possible on the AC100.
Waiting for answers.
I second that question, would be very much interested in it.
Your not going to get any other answer then this. ..... wait till nvida and Toshiba release the source. Developers can't properly port or develop software or a Tom to run on tetra hardware for hunycomb untill they have the drivers(source) so to speak. I am sure if you look in your device specific thread for the Toshiba folio100 u will see the answer similar to mine there......
I heat that Pipposanta of tabletroms has a honeycomb port for the AC100 that just got released.

Moving to Q&A
I just realised right now that my MAC address is different from what it was before.
Previously it was 38:AA:3C:XX:XX:XX.
and now it is 00:12:34: D3:B2:68
I havent done any serious modifications to my phone in a while.
I've been on the same CM 10.2 with googy maxx kernel for over a month now.
The only root app I installed recently is the "Paragon NTFS&HFS+" from the play store.
Did I get hacked?
How do I change it back to the original one?
bump

You did not get hacked. Theoretically, the MAC Address is a unique and hardware-stored value (firmware, ROM), so it cannot be changed. However, there are tools that can spoof it, such as MACMan. Your MAC address is just probably spoofed by some built-in feature/software.
Edit:
I did a little bit of research and it looks like it's your kernel's fault. I found this in its changelog:
Code:
13/09] Version 1.7.2 :
- CM10.2 : Fixed keys backlight disabling
- CM10.2 : Fix network "arrows" not showing correctly
[B]- bcmdhd : Disable multicast on sleep & [U]allow mac adress changing[/U][/B]
- Ramfs : Fixed booting problem on some sammy roms as 2ndrom
- Stweaks : Raised pegasusq hotplug max values
It probably modified the MAC address "on its own" (as in a built-in feature) or it was modified by another application.
As about reverting to your original MAC address, try flashing another kernel/ROM (the stock one, for example).
SailfishOS (SFOS) is a GNU+Linux system using libhybris to leverage Android drivers from LineageOS.
About everything should work (except NFC, no userspace support for now).
You're root and you've SSH, set password in developer-mode settings. Use devel-su like you'd use sudo !
To use/flash SFOS (no wipe needed), you should already be using LineageOS 14.1 20181031 build or newer,
and have booted it at least once (otherwise WLAN problems).
See latest release post for OTA update instructions, or flash ZIP download link.
Warning : flashing zip over previous SFOS install erases it ! So use OTA to avoid that, or use integrated backup app...
Note : SFOS only flashes boot partition and install itself in /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/ so :
you can go back to LineageOS only by flashing the LOS boot image
you can reclaim diskspace used SFOS by removing /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/
Reference Wiki page on merproject.org
Kernel | Device | Vendor source trees
Feeling adventurous ?
This is a SailfishOS community port for the 6045 idol3.
This is not Android (just re-using the lower layers), Android apps can't run on it and there's no support for official-ports-AlienDalvik-emulator.
So please don't ask.
During installation, you'll be asked to create a Jolla account, to have access to basic apps (notes, mediaplayer, documents, etc.).
This is not mandatory (though prefered for the full experience) : should you choose not to register (and even if you do),
you still can install an alternative store using OpenRepos client Storeman

Hello, installed version 3, everything works fine, data transfer, wifi, all sensors (including case), location, mtp, calls and SMS. There were only problems with the store, some applications are not installed the first time, you have to install again, and so great work is another alternative for the smartphone, thank you.

I have installated seilfish os some time ago in my moto g2 and the battery life and boot speed its superior then any version of android ... ?
A very fast, fluid, and consistent UI in this ROM. An interesting one to play with. (However, for my needs, I need the PlayStore apps.)
I now understand how your work on Lineage was a foundation for this one.
I am curious Vknecht, what is your interest in this one?

It's all politics, also it's the system I use daily
some sort of hommage to a french industry of old (1898), rough-rided by financialization (see, can't build idol3 themselves)
fighting planned obsolescence
taking the power back on a device
powering it with an OS independent from GAFAM
having closer to classical GNU+Linux distro, though not totally open in the case of SFOS
Since 2010 I've been a Nokia N900 then N9 user (which ran with Maemo, resp. Meego, predecessors to SailfishOS) until summer 2017 when I got a Xperia X for the SailfishX release. Only ever used Android for a month, until the build-SFOS-for-X documentation was released and dived in the OS-building fun...
At the beginning of 2018 I looked for a cheap and decent french-branded-androphone (2Gb RAM, HD display) with a working LineageOS port and found the idol3 to begin a new SFOS port. It's been a long 8 months journey, where rebuilding LineageOS if only for the patch-level was not much, then also wanted to "upstream" some fixes or upgrades (eg. kernel) I wanted in SFOS...
I started using my idol3 again and I love Sailfish OS as soon as I figure out android apps im gonna use it alot more
Everything work fine, but the double tap to wake up the telephone.
Hi vknecht, great job, how can I contribute (donation) to your work? I've installed everything except Anbox, but I think I'll do it anyway, most of my contacts use Wzap ... Everything works fine except for the double tap to wake up the phone, do you know what it can depend on? Is it a function of hardware or software? With Lineage it worked, with Sailfish no. It's not dramatic, but definitely inconvenient to have to use the power switch every time. Thank you.
Best regard.
Antonio from Italy.

Feeling adventurous ?
This is a SailfishOS community port for the 6045 idol3.
This is not Android (just re-using the lower layers), Android apps can't run on it* and there's no support for official-ports-AlienDalvik-emulator.
So please don't ask.
It's a systemd-based GNU/Linux with 32bits-userspace system, and about every basis function should work.
You're root, set password in developer-mode settings. Use devel-su like you'd use sudo !
To use/flash SFOS (no wipe needed), you should already be using LineageOS 14.1 20181031 build, and have booted it at least once (otherwise WLAN problems).
During installation, you'll be asked to create a Jolla account, to have access to basic apps (notes, mediaplayer, documents, etc.). This is not mandatory (though prefered for the full experience, for now) : should you choose not to register (and even if you do), you still can install an alternative store using OpenRepos client Storeman
*basic Anbox support was added, but don't count on it for now (plz contribute if you can), it may be broken.
If you really want to try it : (don't just copy/paste, fix the URLs !)
Code:
### As root (devel-su), on the phone via SSH :
# Add mal's Anbox for SFOS repository
ssu ar home_mal_anbox [url]http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/mal:/anbox/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/[/url]
pkcon refresh
pkcon install anbox-sailfishos anbox-sailfishos-image-mixed-32-64-bit
rm -f /var/lib/anbox/overlay/system/lib64/libGLESv*
cp /vendor/lib/egl/libEGL_adreno.so /var/lib/anbox/overlay/vendor/lib/egl/
# Install a keyboard APK, eg [url]https://f-droid.org/fr/packages/rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod/[/url]
mkdir -p /var/lib/anbox/data/app
cp *apk /var/lib/anbox/data/app
### Networking is broken at the moment... ###
### Comment anbox-bridge.sh lines (ExecStartPre and ExecStopPost) ###
### in /lib/systemd/system/anbox-container-manager.service ###
# Restart Anbox
systemctl restart anbox-container-manager
# There's no "back" button for now
# Run Anbox from app screen again to go back to Anbox app launcher
This is a simultaneous release of SFOS 2.2.1.18 and 3.0.0.8, if you have problem with one version, try the other
SFOS 2.2.1.18
SFOS 3.0.0.8
Sorry no screenshot or video for now, you can find for other devices, looks should be the same.

Any chance of seeing it on the Idol 3 4.7 ? It would give me a good reason to use it again. It's okay if not it's just sad that there's no updated ROM for this version... I could beta test it if you ever do that

Hello, and thank you for the heads up on dt2w... so I had a look, and found how to enable it
(make sure developer mode is enabled and you've set or checked the password)
Code:
host $ ssh [email protected]
,---
| Sailfish OS 3.0.1.11 (Sipoonkorpi)
'---
[[email protected] ~]$ devel-su
Password:
[[email protected] nemo]# echo 1 > /sys/class/tp_gesture/tp_device/tp_gesture_id
[[email protected] nemo]# printf "[EVDEV]\nKEY_APP_SWITCH=KEY_POWER\n" > /etc/mce/99-doubletap-idol3.ini ; systemctl restart mce
The echo command has to be issued when the screen is on, and each time you reboot, for now (don't know why it's not already set to 1 like in LOS)
The printf and systemctl are only needed once to create the configuration file and restart the service.
Hopefuly you'll see no battery drain, so it can be enabled by default in the future...
For donations, maybe it will be possible later.

One thing I could do is try building LOS 14.1 with idol347 defconfig, but afaik it's not really working.
Otherwise one could follow the SailfishOS HADK using a working CyanogenMod base and I'd be glad to help, but don't have time to start it myself at the moment.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot, it worked! I will pay attention to the the battery drain and will informe you. Just another question: i see your OS version is 3.0.1.11, mine is 3.0.0.8 (Lemmenjoki) is it convenient for me to update it? if yes, in what way? The device is a Idol 3 6045K dual-sim, no external sdcard on board.
Thanks again, greet from Italy.

You're welcome For now I don't see any drain, let's hope it stays like this.
I found out that the ini file is not necessary if one sets tp_gesture_id to 2, but still have to set this value on boot
and/or find why it's not the same as in LineageOS by default.
3.0.1.11 release for idol3 is still in devel phase, once it's ready (~ one week or so) it will be published in testing phase and then you'll be able to do
OTA through commandline.
One can flash a devel-image, but then can't rely on OTA : will have to re-flash a testing-image or do risky/unsupported repository-switch.
Those are generally built using SailfishOS porters' Gitlab-CI group, latest being the 20190227 devel image
SailfishOS 3.0.1.11 beta3
Backup...
Update using OTA : the integrated graphical updater doesn't work for community ports
Easiest is to install sfos-upgrade either through Storeman or direct RPM dowload.
Flash image : (erases previously installed SailfishOS)
sailfishos-idol3-release-3.0.1.11-20190321-beta3.zip
Changes :
SailfishOS 3.0.1.11 release notes (points specific to officially supported devices don't apply)
Kernel : enabled Yama security module
Enabled doubletap to wake
Sorry, Anbox confirmed to NOT work, have to check required overlayfs support, maybe broken with the kernel updates.

Sorry to hear that... does it happen regularly/systematically and quite early after boot, or after (somehow) extensive usage, especially browser ?
I supposed you tried with flashing as well as OTA ?
A known cause for reboot is fixed in this build (and beta2 iirc) by an updated connman package ("rpm -qi connman" shows ip6tfix in version).
Maybe it's related to Yama security, will make a build without it...
Arbitrary reboots, after the introduction of the account and login starts hanging and rebooting, I immediately rolled back to the backup and did not understand why this is happening.

Could you try flashing the ZIP inside the artifact from this devel build ?
It uses the same kernel as 3.0.0.8, ie. without yama, pstore and iirc RTC write support...
This build works fine, no reboots. Thanks.
SailfishOS 3.0.1.11 beta4
Update from any previous betas using OTA :
has to be done from commandline (on device or through SSH, USB prefered) since the graphical client in settings doesn't support community ports.
Code:
# Install sfos-upgrade package like this, or through Storeman
curl -O https://openrepos.net/sites/default/files/packages/5928/sfos-upgrade-2.4-1.noarch.rpm
devel-su
pkcon install-local sfos-upgrade-2.4-1.noarch.rpm
sfos-upgrade 3.0.1.11
reboot
# Patience, it takes an additional reboot to flash boot partition
# Go to commandline again and run :
devel-su post_sfos-upgrade
or install by flashing sailfishos-idol3-release-3.0.1.11-20190329-beta4.zip
(this replaces previously installed SailfishOS and SailfishOS-data, backup if needed)
Changes
Fall back to previous kernel
Hey mate, great job! Everything worked fine with sfos-upgrade from command line! Thanks a lot!!!
Just a question... I haven't prediction text, it's normal? Thanks again.

Hi,
This is the list of missing features / issues:
Choose one of your preference and hands on!
update 2022-05-31: Audio and Rotation were fixed.
kernel display driver was updated. Experience is smoother
-[FIXED] Wi-fi is not working:
Help wanted: Fix code and make it work:
Status so far: Fixed.
It will work on boot if you keep it enabled. If you disable Wi-fi from settings and try to re-enable (or switch on/off airplane mode), it will stop working until you boot it again.
update 2022-06-02: Discovered that you can't ioctl wlan0 to up state when you disable it (using root + proper capabilities).
However, if you rmmod bcm4330 and insmod it again, you can enable it.
It seems a driver issue.
update 2022-06-03: Using stock kernel module for network, no issues with ioctl after disbling wi-fi
update 2023-06-13: Using T00F bcmdhd source with some changes to enable 4330, it runs ok.Now it's using compiled drivers for wi-fi instead of stock ones (except for firmwares)
-[FIXED] Sound is not working:
Help wanted: Investigate what's wrong and fix it
Status: Fixed [working since updated 2022-05-29]
Note: libaudio from stock image couldn't be loaded, so generated one from Android-x86 libaudio code (see [2]).
Maybe adjusts are needed on source, config and Boardconfig files.
update 2022-05-22: all libs are being loaded, but there are some errors when trying to load codecs. Config files must be checked (as well libs);
- [FIXED] Navigation menu is not being displayed:
Help wanted: Discover why is not being shown and fix it
Status: Fixed (created a overlay on device tree and made "def_force_show_navbar" to be enabled - see commit 8768b512c08b5fc60a7d7674ffce7c3a23a7857a)
- Camera is not working:
Help wanted: Make it work
Status so far: HALs must be copied. Possibly lot's of shims and Voodoos/Mojos required.
- [FIXED] Sensors are not working:
Help wanted: Make it work
Status: Fixed (replaced sensor_hal_config files)
- [FIXED] Bluetooth is not working:
Help wanted: Make it work
Status do far: Fixed (used harware/broadcom/libbt instead of vendor lib)
- [FIXED] Port/Enable zram to kernel:
Help wanted: Porting
Status: Enabled from stage tree (it was there all the time).
Seems to be working (at least swap was mounted using it)
- [FIXED] Sometimes backlight doesn't light up after resume
Status: Fixed. This ocurred when an out of range bright level was used ( > 100)
Edited liblights code (device/dell/P801_NoModem/liblights) and included a small check to ensure/force valid values ( from 0 to 100)
- [FIXED] ADB only works using network. Not working using USB
Status: Fixed. Copied drivers/usb/gadget changes from T00F Asus kernel and applied to Venue kernel
- Elevated Battery draining (specially on suspend attempt)
Something is blocking system from suspend. If you check dmesg, it keeps an infinite loop of suspend process (disable tasks, disable CPU's) and abort.
At first, wakeup reason is the "misterious" NETLINK. However, even blocking it and some other wakeup_sources it wakes.
This shows suspend backtrace (got from dump_stack):

Additional info for those interested on improve this:
1) Added a debug service that collects dmesg & logcat 3 times every boot
output is recorded on /data/log_debug_venue8_3030.txt
2) ADB from usb cable is not working, but is working from network. This way, I suggest you enable these on "Developer options":
- Root acess: Select "ADB only".
- Android debugging
- ADB over network (note: You must connect to a network prior - IP and port will be displayed when enabling this option)
Once done, from PC, you can connect to adb:
# (will connect to tablet)
adb connect TABLET_IP_ADDR
# (will restart adbd on tablet, to root mode)
adb root
# (will connect again, now with root acess)
adb connect TABLET_IP_ADDR

3) If you want to make any change to /system on living image, you must remount /system with write privileges:
- Ensure you enabled adb over network as described on step 2
- connect to table and remount /system:
adb shell

How difficult would it be to port to the 7840? Or alternatively, would it be possible to help me learn how I could build it myself?

Hi,
It has a medium/high level of difficult, depending how "perfect" do you want your port.
And more than difficult, it's *extremelly* time consuming. You must be prepared to spent weeks/ months in order to try to make something work.
And before starting anything, be sure is viable. A crucial point is having kernel source files for your device.
without it, don't waste your time.
In your case, take a look at opensource.dell.com
Learning: As a start, I'd recomend you to watch these videos:
https://www.youtube.com/c/AlaskaLinuxUserAKLU/playlists
You'll need to learn all of these (not limited to):
- Learn some C/C++ and java. You'll have to read source code to understand basicallyhow it works
- Learn Unix/Linux terminal commands. I'll need lots of find, grep, cd, cat, etc....
- Learn shell script
- Learn git
- Learn how to compile and cusomize a kernel
- Understand how Android source code/components are strutured (AOSP)
During your development, you'll need to carefully look at log files, include debugging info on scripts/codes, think,research, deduce, test, retest, test again,back some steps an try new appoaches.
And finally, I won't be working on any other device. After finishing this one I'm working on (or giving it up), not going to waste my time on custom roms sonner.... I have a life to live
Good luck
Project die?

Not yet. I'm just looking for courage to go on.
If you see courage nearby, tell her that I'm looking for her
I intent to make bluetooth work and improve battery life. Camera is not a priority.
Remember everyone that source code is available. Everyone is free and invited to help improving this image.

When I flash this rom, I get to the Lock Screen and it hard freezes. Anyone else get this problem? Thanks for all your work @pstglia
Update: I fixed it by wiping the data partition. This is incredible; this tablet has never been so smooth. Any advice on adding GAPPs?

You are able to boot it but when locking screen you can't return to operation, having to boot it again.
Is this your issue?
If so, it's a known issue where backlight bright level goes to zero. If you blindly move the bright slider, you can have image again (or changing bright values bellow /sys using adb)

Wow, thanks for your quick reply! I was just dumb and didn't wipe my android 4.4 data before installing; that fixed it. I have been tinkering trying to get GAPPs installed but run into error 70 in CWM when I do. Have you had success?

I have installed opengapps (x86, 7.1, pico). Don't remember having issues installing it.
But makes tablet really slow most of time.

Hmm that's interesting. I'm trying the same file but every recovery I try has given me error 7. Will continue tinkering. Something to do with system mount permissions maybe?

Afaik error 7 means package doesn't match the device. On Lineage images I bypass it by editing update-binary/updater-script inside META dir.
However I think opengapps does not perform these checks...
Have you tried formatting your cache partition before applying opengapps package?
Which recovery version are you using? Is the thethered one from SDC/Vampirefo?
I thought this moment would never come , I always dreamed of a custom rom for this device, I hope you can continue developing it

Hi, I'll try to. But my limited knowledge doesn't allow me to advance the way I wish.
So, do not expect something perfect, fast and stable...
If we had some developer that could help on this, maybe you could have a really nice rom.
Note: All sources are available on github. See 1st post.
If I achieve some progress I'll share here.
The image I have is bootable and you can test anything if you understand the risks of potentially brick your device.
If you have nothing to lose, give a try

I just install the rom using Windows 11, i have the stock rom(android 4.2.2, 4.3 and 4.4.2) in case i brick the tablet.
I used apkmirror to install chrome x86 version, i can't use youtube because the lack of google play services

You can use opengapps for youtube & google stufff.
But at the current stage of this rom, it will make tablet really slow...

Hi,
This is the list of missing features / issues:
Choose one of your preference and hands on!
update 2022-05-31: Audio and Rotation were fixed.
kernel display driver was updated. Experience is smoother
-[FIXED] Wi-fi is not working:
Help wanted: Fix code and make it work:
Status so far: Fixed.
It will work on boot if you keep it enabled. If you disable Wi-fi from settings and try to re-enable (or switch on/off airplane mode), it will stop working until you boot it again.
update 2022-06-02: Discovered that you can't ioctl wlan0 to up state when you disable it (using root + proper capabilities).
However, if you rmmod bcm4330 and insmod it again, you can enable it.
It seems a driver issue.
update 2022-06-03: Using stock kernel module for network, no issues with ioctl after disbling wi-fi
-[FIXED] Sound is not working:
Help wanted: Investigate what's wrong and fix it
Status: Fixed [working since updated 2022-05-29]
Note: libaudio from stock image couldn't be loaded, so generated one from Android-x86 libaudio code (see [2]).
Maybe adjusts are needed on source, config and Boardconfig files.
update 2022-05-22: all libs are being loaded, but there are some errors when trying to load codecs. Config files must be checked (as well libs);
- [FIXED] Navigation menu is not being displayed:
Help wanted: Discover why is not being shown and fix it
Status: Fixed (created a overlay on device tree and made "def_force_show_navbar" to be enabled - see commit 8768b512c08b5fc60a7d7674ffce7c3a23a7857a)
- Camera is not working:
Help wanted: Make it work
Status so far: HALs must be copied. Possibly lot's of shims and Voodoos/Mojos required.
- [FIXED] Sensors are not working:
Help wanted: Make it work
Status: Fixed (replaced sensor_hal_config files)
- [FIXED] Bluetooth is not working:
Help wanted: Make it work
Status do far: Fixed (used harware/broadcom/libbt instead of vendor lib)
- [FIXED] Port/Enable zram to kernel:
Help wanted: Porting
Status: Enabled from stage tree (it was there all the time).
Seems to be working (at least swap was mounted using it)
