Great rom @minz1 , you are an outstanding asset to the community with your dedication to your work on all of these devices. Hopefully the remaining bugs you've listed will be sorted and ironed out and it's no biggie to get it to stable status.

 

[minz1]

To keep you guys posted, Camera will be fixed today or tomorrow, and Audio will follow soon afterwards. Then, I'll try to fix GPS, and finally, RIL. After all of this, I'll work on Lineage-15.0

We admire the work ethic and skill put into your labor

Awaiting on the masterpiece your lineage port will be with a little time put into it to fixup and resolve the bugs, and many others plus myself will compensate you for taking the task of this technological work of stabilizing this ROM into your own hands.

Omg yes tyty

Edit: Hmm, TWRP is telling me I need arm not arm64 gapps...

Here are the debug logs, should I just use arm?

I used arm and it worked fine, once the calls and RIL work it'll be my DD

Problem can't read simcard

I'm pretty sure thats covered by the "RIL" bug he listed, as far as I'm aware that means Radio Interface Layer, so when he fixes the RIL bug the SIM and calls and telephony messaging, all that will work.

Minz, can you confirm that? I'm not 100 percent lol

Yep, since RIL is broken, your simcard will not function. Please READ the OP before commenting, jaydriod.

Can't wait for the next iteration! Thanks for all your hard work for our phone!!!

 

[minz1]

In the newest update, there are numerous improvements, the main one being the Audio fix. Audio should be kinda working, but still has some issues that will be worked out in the future.
