Theres a donation link in my about section on my profile As for the non working issues, They're easy to fix, although cellular is the only tricky one. Well that and the powered dock issue. However they should be fixed as time goes on.

Lazy mf lmaooo!

If anyone is curious about the device's funtionality, i've made a wiki page where users can check feature statuses. This wiki is now in the first post.

The wiki in question:

Also, I'd recommend to everyone running 12 to use the latest build of twrp V3.70. I have more info in the original post (The red section).

Sound recording does not work in any application. The system does not seem to see the built-in microphone at all. In the hardware part, everything is fine - I immediately changed it to Lineage OS 18.1 - recording from the built-in microphone works fine. Developers, it's in your firmware. Tested on OpenCamera and Smart Voice recorder

In the Smart recorder application, select the microphone setting, uncheck auto-detect, click adjust the gain, and only after that will you start recording the sound. However, after the end of the recording, the software crashes when entering the list of records - too.
In the OpenCamera application, you need to select "Audio source" in the video settings and select the item: "Optimized for voice" or the item "Optimized for voice recognition" - then the sound of the video will be recorded. However, the software still freezes when starting or stopping recording.

The stock FM radio app seems to find radio stations when headphones are connected, but when you turn on the broadcast, there is no sound in either the headphones or the speaker. Everything works in Lineage OS 18.1, this is not a hardware problem, but something is wrong in the firmware.

How did you get FM Radio to work on Lineage?

Yes there is an issue with either the the mixer paths or audio props that needs to be addressed. However, how are you getting the fm app to work on los? Are you using the 4.4 kernel or just los stock?

Kernel 4.4 inside Arrow OS 12.1 firmware

Kernel 4.4 inside Arrow OS 12.1 firmware

You said you used the fm app on lineage, how did you make it work? Los does not have the required packages or the V4L2 bcrm driver to support fm. Also, arrow is not firmware, it's an operating system, OS.

What are you talking to me about? Inside Arrow OS 12.1, there is already a system FM radio application that seems to search and find stations, but no sound is played. I'm not speaking about LOS.
Also often hangs when starting or stopping recording, the camera application or OpenCamera. If the camera application is frozen, then the logo just hangs on restart, but the application does not start.

As you said yourself: "Everything works in Lineage OS 18.1". Maybe you confused something in that sentence, but it does imply that you got FM and broadcast working on LOS 18.1, which has neither rom nor kernel support for hardware FM since it runs 3.18 with many FM parts stripped from it.

Camera is unstable, as I've described on the wiki page.

Hey folks, really happy to see this development! Hope it goes great places. Looks slick as anything

I have a somewhat related question and I hope its okay to ask here. I know that VoLTE hasn't worked for any custom roms, and I'm interested in the problem. To be clear, I'm not asking for a miracle from you guys. This is a purely exploratory question for my own benefit. I am considering attempting to reverse-engineer some of the (from my understanding) proprietary blobs that make VoLTE work on the stock/stock-adjacent roms.

Have there been any deep-dives into IMS/VoLTE stuff posted?
Maybe notes about how things interact when everything is working happily on a stock(ish) rom?

Again, I'm just curious, and kinda looking for a masochistic hobby RE project. I'm somewhat new to radios/modems/IMS etc, but have some experience with other areas of android and RE. Any pointers would be appreciated.
