Thanks for reporting, that's exactly what I was expecting :)

I'll now use OmniRom (because they have a pretty stable 8.0 and TWRP 3.2 is included).

For flashlight, it's same effect as camera.
Black screen, I didn't took a look actually

KMX can we make some kind of a developer group ?
It seems you've left telegram and you don't respond to my messages :(

    Hi,

    I have a new release today which should fix a couple of the major issues from the previous builds:
    https://mega.nz/#!GFxTVYQb!k1R324-8axK5lmorKKV8xFYLjFyEZ1iW195UU4hJcxI

    I tracked down a couple of camera bugs and found some workarounds so now the QR scanner works in snap and hopefully it will fix the other crashes people have seen.

    I also found a workaround for the NFC issue, it now works enables properly and doesn't eat battery (doesn't matter whether it is enabled or not when booting).

    There are also some power saving additions which have made quite a difference on my phone.

    Full change list since last release:
    • NFC wrapper added to aid in debugging issues
    • NFC work around added for the startup issue
    • Suppressed NFC logging output (it spews a lot of crap over logcat)
    • Camera wrapper added to fix a couple of bugs in the HAL, some random lockups fixed, QR scanner now works (thanks @sekil for the initial wrapper)
    • Switched to the Bioshock CPU governor as this really saves battery (thanks @nr23730)
    • Updated more mobicore blobs that seemd to have been missed from before
    • Updated some GPS settings in the overlay
    • Added updating of backlight brightness during doze to fix issues with dark notifications
    • Added Sekils audio fix for libsec-ril.so blob
    • Added lots of CVE patches to kernel
    • Updated to latest LOS

    I may start my own thread now as this has become more than just a couple of builds here and there :).

    Hope you like it,
    Danny

    Hi,

    Here is a new build:
    https://mega.nz/#!nIpgjaAb!xuGztNx6oYuc0KcfFTVzkhMrck0lTtdN--yN2TFVB98

    Changes since last:
    • Added latest audio fixes (thanks to stricted)
    • Added exynos OMX blobs from stock to fix codec issue (thanks to stricted)
    • Modified display colour temperature and LCD brightness logic
    • Increased call volume on speaker phone
    • Updated mobicore to latest A310F nougat versions
    • Updated to latest LOS

    I haven't noticed any camera FC for a while, just make sure you never click the QR reader in the camera app as that crashes it. One thing I have noticed is that you need to enable NFC before you reboot, that way you can switch it back off once rebooted to save power (if you power off with it disabled it doesn't come back on cleanly).

    Someone previously asked about source code, I simply use the Exynos 7580 git sources (from the OP) with custom a3 device/vendor tree and kernel available on my github page: https://github.com/danwood76.

    Regards,
    Danny

    Unfortunately l-0-w and Stricted have stopped developing this project.

    I have been running custom builds of their code with a few tweaks for a couple of months now.

    The latest build in this thread is unfortunately missing a load of optimisations and fixes.

    Here is my latest custom build:
    https://mega.nz/#!acIG3Q4S!Gc8PKPZlPmuURUdL0zcHHFWkYInQGitIthnbMHfZY1k

    I'm not 100% sure of the changes since l-0-w's build but I think:
    • Lots of kernel optimisations
    • Interactive governor fixes (improves battery life and performance)
    • Updated WiFi driver
    • Fix headset microphone path
    • Updated NFC blobs
    • Tweaked screen auto brightness levels
    • Lots of LineageOS fixes

    Most of these changes were not made by me but by the Exynos7580 group, so thanks go to alexax66, stricted, l-0-w, sekil, etc.

    Depending on my usage I can get up to 4 days between charges and all the apps I run are smooth and quick.

    Hopefully this build is useful to people.
