Thanks cristihan for the link. Well, I found a better source and it is exactly as supposed. The kernel version is the effective problem, - these are far too old. It seems that reliable (practical usable) Adreno Snapdragon support (regarding the older SoC generation) was not present before...

Hi there! At first, also from my side a BIG thanks for this great ROM to mernurisha. :good: Here follows now a somewhat more general technical question regarding the development of this (and the other) LineageOS ROM. What is the effective reason why almost no Qualcomm Snapdragon Adreno based...

Hello everyone Really nice topic! However, the whole context is at the end somewhat more complex. As a litte demonstration here follows a nice little fdisk sample. That one belongs to an old Samsung Galaxy mini 2 S6500D phone. (It can be found at the corresponding postmarketOS webpage). Newer...

mongo0 It seems that the sec_s3fwrn5_rfreg.bin file is NOT universal applicable on every S3FWRN5 chip firmware version. After intensive googling, I would try to get the sec_s3fwrn5_rfreg.bin of the SM-G850F (Samsung Galaxy Alpha). It has the S3FWRN5 NFC chip with firmware V1.1.14. So this means...

Hi mongo0, at first, many thanks also to you for your GREAT efforts regarding this really nice LineageOS 16 build. :good: NFC firmware update files are unfortunately hard to find. Usually these are not shipped separately. These are near always part of a regular stock ROM update. Our Samsung S5...

A new feedback from my side. I can confirm that the two builds at page 35 works great at the latest official AOKP Android 9 "Pie" releases for the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9195). :) It should be noted that this may be true only for Custom ROM builds and not stock Android versions. There are...

This is really a great work spookcity138. :good: Thanks for all your efforts regarding this awesome LineageOS 16.0 build! :) The only thing which I am missing is the broken NFC function. Can someone confirm that the S5 mini uses the Samsung S3FWRN5 NFC chip? According to my docs it should use...

Okay folks, here follows a somewhat more detailed feedback regarding the latest official nightly AOKP serranoltexx release 2020-05-15 with low RAM (aka "Android Go Mode") enabled. Sorry to hi-jack this thread csendre. ;) At first it must be said that this so called "nightly" build is a fully...

Here follows a short addition, - I have found an interesting XDA topic regarding KitKat ART vs. Lollipop ART. There is discussed the theoretical possibility to use the Lollipop "libart.so" in KitKat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/using-libart-android-l-kitkat-t2805745 Well, as...

Hi there Shadow Of Leaf Thanks for the fast replay. Unfortunately the "hang on" issue is still the same like on the V1 build. It is not possible to hang up the call, - it stays open in the background. The overall performance is really nice for that old phone hardware, - especially when the...

Many thanks Shadow Of Leaf for that new release. :good: Unfortunately the link regarding the new build seems not correct, it points to the previous "omni-4.4.4-20180817-jena-HOMEMADE" release. Also the internal build date seems the same. Or has the new build the same name like the old one...

Again thanks guest4711 for the fast help. It worked. :good: getprop | grep low_ram And the modded "disabler package" does exactly what it should. It disables the low_ram flag again without any "signal 4 error", - confirmed for the mini 2 CM11 build. ;)

Thanks guest4711 for that hint! It works now without any misleading error message. :o The "signal 4 error" maybe an issue of older Android versions like KitKat and Lollipop. Whatever, - because there is no corrected "disabler package" avaiable I have "tweaked" one with Notepad++. It seems to...

Thanks AdrianDC for this great Low-RAM Patcher. :good: Here follows a now short feedback regarding the compatibility with the final CM11 (KitKat 4.4.4) release 20180710 for the Samsung Galaxy mini 2 (S6500). Unfortunately the two packages doesn't work for me. There occurs an install error...

Hi there This thread is old I know. However, I want to confirm that the gapps package MDPI (160DPI) works PERFECTLY on the Samsung Galaxy mini 2 with latest CM11 build (20180710). :D So far the development is still active, there exist two newer (system level) packages: - Google Calendar sync...

Here follows a little addition. As mentioned, the final CM11 build runs AWESOME. It is now definitively better than bleached's build. :o During my testing on two mini 2 phones I noticed the following reproducible minor issue in TWRP (v3.0.2.0): mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mncblk0p23 at...

Well, - I am again excited. This last CM11 build from July 2018 runs again better than all previous one. :o Really great work Shadow Of Leaf! :good: It runs at least so smooth as the Omni-4.4.4 build from August 2018 with the difference that the call receiving works as it should. I didn't know...

For me this TWRP build works absolutely perfect, - no white screen issue. :o I have a S6500 (S6500XXMD1) and I installed TWRP 3.0.2.0 with the zip file TWRP-v3.0.2.0-jena_only.zip from an SD card. I had previously an older TWRP build installed which was itself installed from an CWM-6.0.5.1...

This is really AWESOME work Shadow Of Leaf! Many thanks for this great mini 2 Omnirom 4.4.4. :o :good: I didn't know that you are still developing for the mini 2. I have discovered this latest KitKat rom just some time ago. It works in almost every regard better then all the previous CM11...

Thanks Shadow Of Leaf for your replay! And don't feel sorry! I fully agree with user wverkist2, - with your GREAT, GREAT, GREAT work you have make A LOT of mini 2 users happy. :o kudos to you! :good: :good: A big thanks also for the further investigation regarding the jinxed nfc matter. So it...

Great to hear, - TWRP was build also by Shadow Of Leaf. Maybe he have uploaded the code somewhere? Or probably xEmre66 knows something about it? :confused: By the way, - according to user wverkist2 there seems to exit regarding the S6500D a working CM11 install method. He used CWM 6.0.5.1 and...

Thanks Amaan007 for that hint. :) Don Pedro! If you are a coder then you may be able to look into TWRP and try to find the strange instability problem. ;):D Okay, it's not so simple I know... Seriously, - but you may be able to tell me how I can exchange the libpn544_fw.so file in the current...

xEmre66 Thanks for the replay, - this is sad to hear. So you stopped your work at the CAF kernel for the mini 2. :( Don Pedro! Yes that's right, - for all the great work I say here also a big THANKS to Shadow of Leaf and also you xEmre66! :) As mentioned, the CM11 is near almost optimal...

Hey folks! Here follows now an other (more detailed) feedback regarding my longer testing of the 20170203 jena build. To say it clear and brief, - my second mini 2 test phone has become in the meantime my primary main phone (at work). :o As mentioned already, the overall working performance...

Don Pedro! Many thanks for these SUPER detailed logs! :):good: Maybe Shadow Of Leaf can look at these reported errors. However, xEmre66 is extending the Kernel currently to CAF HAL support, maybe this will help also him in some regards. I am just a dev supporter and not a dev, so for me that's...

Shadow Of Leaf, thanks for your replay and your further effort in this matter! :) I have read a thread (at xda NFC Hacking NXP) where TheWhisp stated that it didn't work "too old nfcee, NCI version mismatch - according to logs". https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573842&page=11...

That's great to hear xEmre66! :) By the way I have a little question, how can I replace the "libpn544_fw.so" in the current CM 11 install / build with a different one? It seems that the current NFC fw file is the wrong for our very early NXP 44501 C1 controller. Why I think so? Well, as...

Yes xEmre66, and with your CAF HAL mini 2 (snapdragon optimized) kernel also this CM 11 will run even more efficient, including better AnTuTu performance. ;):o

Thanks for this feedback, - maybe these CWM and TWRP issues will be fixed sometime, - I hope. ;) Regarding the rebooting of TWRP, I thought that this is a feature and not a bug. Well, it could be both.... :D However, to use TWRP also at the S6500D model is a bad idea. This is the absolutely...

thedogx021, thanks for your feedback. Well, these S6500D problems are totally strange.:( It is important to note that the latest CM 11 build and also the CWM 6.0.5.1 was developed by Shadow Of Leaf primarily for the original non-D S6500 mini 2 model. (The most people in this thread uses the...

Sorry, that's definitely NOT the case. At least for the mini 2, the phone will be rooted when you flash CWM. Absolutely no additionally tooling like that "runme.bat" is necessary. I read longer time ago, that the mini 2 is in this regard already somewhat "more open" then previous Samsung phone...

wverkist2 Don Pedro! I think the best is when we let it be as simple as possible. ;) I can only repeat again that for rooting only two things are needed, the corresponding CWM and Odin. This is the way which I conducted MANY times 100% successfully. There may exist other root & install...

Don Pedro!, it seems that you make it yourself somewhat complicated. ;) Look here at this XDA thread, - it is everything described: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953420 So you really just need a more recent CWM like version CWM-6.0.5.1-v3-jena.tar.md5 and a compliant Odin...

Thanks wverkist2 for feedback. :) So you have installed it according to Shadow Of Leaf's recommendation. You just replaced the jenad rom with the jena one and it worked, - amazing! :eek: It seems that there must exist a bug in the jenad build. If that's true then this should be mentioned at the...

wverkist2, it is very important that you follow EXACTLY all the steps described by Shadow Of Leaf. I repeat it again somewhat more detailed: Install method for S6500D: 0) root your phone with CWM-6.0.5.1-v3 (if locked, it's recommended to unlock the phone first with a compliant stock rom) 1)...

It seems that only the Lollipop branch of the stock email app 7.0-x is merged into Gmail. Earlier versions of the stock email app, targeted for KitKat like email app 6.3-x, are still working. I am on CM 11 and the fresh installed email app 6.3-1218562 seems functional and wants to be configured...

Rooting the mini 2 is really NOT complicated! You just have to get the Odin tool and the right CWM. Here you can find several Odin builds: http://www.droidviews.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions/ It is noted there that version Odin 3.10.x is recommended for KitKat...

xEmre66, great to hear that you have figure it out! Yes, I can confirm that this most recent CM 11 build is definite a great one! :good: We have now for the mini 2 a new preferred rom with really good performance. :D In this regard it outperforms the CM 10.1 Improved 07/07 build from bleached...

Hi Jonas. Thanks for this fast replay. At the main page at the release information of this KitKat 4.4.4 "PAC-MAN" build it is noted that "all is working". So I thought this belongs also to the NFC controller. ;) If NFC isn't working on this build here then I should extract it out of the most...

Hi adrian1234a. Great work! Your KitKat 4.4.4 build seems nearly the only reliable for the LG L5. :):good: Question, is NFC supported at yours Android 4.4.4 build? Is it well supported? I ask because the NFC controller NXP 44501 (aka NXP PN544 C1) used in the LG L5 seems totally jinxed. There a...

I am really irritated, consternated and affected. :( I have meanwhile installed several times the latest CM11 build (I am experimenting with the NFC enabler) and had until now ZERO issue! Your problem is totally strange, especially in the regard that we have the same baseband type of the phone. :(

xEmre66, this may sounds crazy but I suggest you to go back to old stock rom and stock recovery. When you are on original condition / environment, then you can try to go through all my steps and see if this will work. Otherwise I have no idea...

If you phone is not locked then you DON'T have to do this! ;):) My S6500XXMH1 regular phone was locked so I want to unlock it. My S6500XXMD1 test phone was not locked so I just rooted it, - and the latest CM11 build works even so perfectly! :o The phone will be rooted when you flash the...

nfc.msm7x27a.so file Hello burngraf, - sorry to bother. I want to ask where I can find yours compatible nfc.msm7x27a.so file. I have also a Snapdragon S1 based phone (Samsung Galaxy mini 2 S6500) with the same chipset. Maybe this will work also in my case. :)

Well, I tried it again and it worked. I can only repeat my install method again, - sorry. My Test phone has Baseband-Version S6500XXMD1. 0) root (& unlock) the phone (if someone can rebuild the package CWM-6.0.5.1-v3-jena.tar.md5 then this will helps a lot;)) 1) install TWRP (from CWM) and...

Okay, I don't know if this is relevant but my phone was rooted AND unlocked. So my steps were as follow: 00) unlock the phone under (a compliant) stock Rom 2.3.6 like build XXLK2 --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958859&page=11 01) root the phone by flashing CWM...

0) root your phone with CWM (and maybe unlock it also) 1) install TWRP (from CWM or stock recovery) and reboot into it 2) go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and then wipe both two Cache & System 3) in Advanced Wipe choose Data and select Repair or Change File System 4) go to Change File System and choose...

Kernel requirements? Even this thread here is quite old I want to say a BIG thanks for this amazing NFC Enabler! :good: I have the following question. Can I use this NFC enabler at a CM11 build with Kernel 3.4.x? Exist there a specific Kernel requirements? I want to try this patch at a Samsung...

Sorry to bother, - I know this thread is old.... Well, that seems not entirely true, - xda member bleached has build (three years ago) CM 10.1 (with Kernel 2.6.38.6 and closed-source PN544 libraries) for the Galaxy Mini 2 S6500 with working NFC. Android Beam works nice, however no HCE support...

Yes I can, - but not here... ;):)
