Adding new features to custom rom. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to add fingerprint gesture to a custom ROM like lineage is 14.1 which has working fingerprint scanner but no gesture as of now. If yes, how?

No fingerprint scanner at all on any customer roms or kernels.

unlocked bootloader(unoffical) with cofface twrp. Tried numbers of nougat roms and marshmellow roms with different kernels. Have got the fingerprint option to show up but doesn't recognize a fingerprint being pressed on the sensor at all. not sure what the deal is. It worked before i unlocked and flashed.
On what rom were you before?
I was on Santosh's CM13 /w Radon Kernel as my daily driver then moved to AOSCP and have been using just AOSCP. Just want the fingerprint scanner to work.

Sounds like you have the goodix reader?
Did you flash the goodix N fix, then a supported kernel like agni?
I'm not sure which I have... How can I tell for sure? Also if I do have the goodix can you show me where to find these patches? I've searched and can't seem to track them down.

Most of the Nougat roms indicate the need to flash the patch for goodix, and then kernel as well if the built-in one doesn't support it.
Which ROM do you want to run? I have goodix and have tried Beanstalk, AOSCP, CM14 Strix version and they have all worked when i used the patch + agni kernel.
I'm using AOSCP now but I'm down to change to whatever as long as everything works and its relatively stable as this phone is my daily driver. AOSCP has been working fantastic with a few reboots here and there.

Absolute SMALLEST Marshmallow ROM for Kenzo?

What's a Marshmallow ROM for Kenzo with the absolute smallest install footprint?
EDIT: I'm using an FPC Kenzo, if that helps. I also probably won't be using GApps.
I'm also searching an Marshmallow smooth stable rom with no bugs like goodix, torch, camera or headset microphone.

I'm using cardinalAOSP and it's very fast, smooth and stable. Also it's very light on ram.
It has only small bugs: systemUI reboots sometimes while watching YouTube + auto rotation gets stuck in YouTube (turning off the screen and back on again fixes this).

If u talk about small rom in a term of its size u probably get the least feature that ROM can give to you, as I know small ROM like; slimrom mm, lineageos mm, as well as nexus experience give what u want.

Absolute smallest of smallest is Slim or DU (dark unicorn) rom. Feel free to try.

I am still using Umang's Slim 6. And still didn't face any bugs....so I haven't moved to any other ROM. If I want to change to other MM based ROM, it would be lineage MM by gismo.
You can check the cm13 based builds here. They are built with Umang96's device tree and proprietary files. I have been using them for months with no issues whatsoever. No modifications are made to the source files. The manifests used to build the rom are modified to point to Umang's repos, that's all. Other than that the source files are untouched. Obviously you need goodix patch and custom kernel for all cm13 based roms if you have goodix fp. The reason is because goodix has not released the source code for their drivers.

I am so happy to see your post that I can't even describe.... Mm is best for me and updated ROM was the thing I was looking for. Thanks for your update.?

Lineage OS 14.1 or RR 6.0?

Which one is the best? I'm actually using Lineage OS 14.1 and I'm thinking non switching to RR 6.0, it is.worth?
It depends on the reason you are looking for to switch. Do you want really want oreo features? Official lineage os is quite stable, frequently updated
Rr has few bugs, but has custom features.
Lineage OS 15.1 is official.
First build will be shipped either Monday or Tuesday.

I noticed that in Lineage 14.1, the fingerprint scanner is a lot slower than stock rom, its still working but not the same as the stock rom, is this an issue for every custom rom? Also, it doesn't say if the battery is quick charging, and theres no option if its on/off, does this happens on RR?

I reinstalled the ROM and used different GApps, this time Full instead of Stock, the camera is not the google camera but its working well
In my view
I think RR rom is the best rom for customisation at all. But I tried some Oreo rom and I found them a little bit unstable. Another thing that I hate is the presence of some bugs. I will move to Oreo only when all will run perfectly

Face unlock Android 10

Is there a way to get back face unlock to Android 10 with poco and aosp?
No.
But why??
Why isn't anyone developing a magisk module or whatever to get it back on Android 10? I thought it was an useful feature...
Yes I agree

I thought the issue was that the f1's ir face recognition was proprietary, so since the source is unavailable it can't be integrated into custom ROMs. So not a Google problem, but kind of a Xiaomi one (if we have to blame someone!)
Amirite?

Google removed face unlock from android 10 sources. Therefore it's not working in all Q based custom roms.

Yes, because it's a proprietary module. So it's a Xiaomi / Pocophone decision rather than being something Google can fix

How come it is working on mi9 android 10 and mi 9t pro? :silly:
Others have confirmed that (IR) face unlock works on Android 10 xiaomi.eu 11.0.4.0. if it's not working you should try to change you're region in settings...

Of course it works in stock roms. Its removed only from custom roms
This is the reason why I haven't update to miui 11 as yet

I think you've misunderstood something here...
IR face unlock works just as well on stock MIUI 11 as it did on stock MIUI 10. It's only with custom ROMs that it doesn't work
is there any way to extract the ir camera file ?

I wonder if it might have been an issue with your region, eg I'm in Ireland but have to set my region to UK in order to get face unlock

Use fingerprint.
If face unlock is that important to you then Maybe you can develop something.
I don't know yet how a custom rom is build, but is it possible to get the lines of code from a custom rom based on Android 9 and porting the feature of face unlock as a magisk module?
