OTA update for the latest release should be out for everyone on LOS14 builds newer than 2020-12-31 !~

[ 2023-07-07 || REMOVED FROM HERE ]

Due to a kernel bug, I removed it from here. You can get it here if you want (<- clickable).

  • Hello the 4th anniversary (LOL)
  • Fixed CPUFreq table in kernel. This fixed oh so many things (CPU hard stuck at 1.4 GHz x 4 all times, device warming in sleep, MASSIVE BATTERY IMPROVEMENT)
  • Chore work on trees

Older changelogs:

[ 2023-06-23 | HOTFIX 2 ]
  • Fixed Mobile Data not working on single-SIM devices

[ HOTFIX ]
  • Fixed BACK button not working.

  • Fixed video playback (up to 720p30 and lower).

  • SIM signals now come up earlier on boot.
  • Overall optimization to performance and size.
  • Unified Kernel for N/O/P.
  • Fixed GPS and FM Radio (dunno when, dunno why, dunno how, someone just pointed it out and I tested and it just worked, LOL)

[Feb 16 22] (20220216) (Emergency hotfix):
  • REALLY disable persistent logcat. Are you kidding AOSP??
    #logd.logpersistd.enable=true
  • Ignore RSSNR. This fixes LTE signal instability, though it doesn't necessary fix terrible signal strength on both 3G and 4G.
  • Add missing OMX symbol, which fixes local video playback it didn't, MtkOmxVencEncod crashes.
[Feb 13 22] (20220213):
  • Fix SnapCamera crashing after taking 1 pic.
  • Fix wakelock tracker (no more spam in data/system/dropbox).
  • Fix mobiledata for SIM 2.

  • Clean build. (remove leftover garbage)
  • Turn off persistent logcat for release build. (it eats a TON of storage)

[Feb 02 22] (20220202)
  • Fixed RIL (YAY!).
  • Fixed log spamming from mtk_agpsd and AudioParamParser (save some battery).
  • Fixed flashing red border from the previous build (due to it being eng build).
  • Kernel: backport MMAP_RND_BITS and MMAP_RND_COMPAT_BITS for futureproofing and some stuff that needs randomness.
  • Fixed 1080p and 720p60 playback lags. (using stock lib/shared objects instead of ones from another device)
    • Need (really) good connection regardless.
    • Update: still lag sometimes.
[Jul 19 21] (20210719)
  • Fixed HW recent key.
  • Fixed random crash. (doesn't appear to happen on my end)
  • Fixed SD Card for 3rd-party apps.
  • Kernel 3.18.53, some tiny improvement.
  • F2FS support.
  • NOTE: OTA will not be available for this release. It will be resumed when this hits beta.
[Nov 25 20]
  • July 5 2020 Security Patch
  • Allow RIL to work (with catches)
  • Fix Camera
  • Add partial doze (It might not work well yet, 30% overnight, no curves)
  • Fix stability (prevent phone freezing because of log spams)
[Dec 1 19]
  • November Security Patch
  • Cosmetic stuffs

[Sep 25]
  • Truly fix Video Playback

Are sensors working? (proximity, accelerometer, Samsung orientation sensor)

The orientation is certainly not working yet as it uses some of MM samsung libraries. (In fact, Wi-Fi/BT is too, have to use patch from Doogee X5Pro)
Haven't tried Proximity/Accelerometer yet.

E: pretty sure I am going to fix main stuffs first like audio, media, MTP, Lock Screen Security (because I removed keystore lib to boot this phone, can use porridge's too) and the hardest which is RIL/Telephony as this phone is the first of a kind.

Add to working/not working list:
Camera
Internal microphone
Radio
Headphone

Btw, is Bluetooth working 100% fine? Because in the XenonHD ROM of Melekpro i wasn't able to send a picture from another phone to the J2 Prime.

i just connect to my laptop lol. Haven't tried sending files~
btw, headphones not working? Kinda weird when audio is *mostly working (again, haven't tried)

Idk, i wasn't able to try your LOS 14.1 because it's my main phone.

Headphone is working. But it is finicky / unstable because the main audio also is.
Bluetooth transfer works both ways (check images)
e1: audio over bluetooth works too~
-
oh, J2 Prime is my only phone lol. An used S3 is coming, so I can fully working on this device :) (except, Its about time to school here..... )

Do you make TWRP backups or you flash the ROM, install all the apps and configure everything again?

the latter one. I have my laptop for everything already, but I can't live without YouTube and updated Samsung Internet lol (is currently the only one with true Dark Mode, and I'm more of a night owl)
To be fair, I'm still using a 2 GB SD card I bought 7 years ago, so (except EFS,) TWRP backups are no go to me ~

I forgot to add SD Card.

I'm still using it normally though. But melek reported that too and I'm working on that.
Still stuck at why RIL/telephony/baseband/IMEI does not behave (I cannot find any logs related to those, except nvram (nvdata?) not mounted/read correctly)

    Just to head up with other people eagering a beta/stable ROM.

    I'm still working on it, though it progresses extremely slow (or not at all). Simply because Modem/CP, just crashes, with seemingly no log pointing at errors. Or I did not notice it.
    Either way, I'm trying out lots of hacks from other device trees (again, first MTK+Samsung device, I have little to no resource on RIL to base on). Promise I'll get back with working RIL asap.

    Just
    please
    don't spam the thread with ETAs
    (if you want it to work right now, for real, just do it yourself. I'm a noob lol)
    thank you.
