CM13 Z3+ Ivy E6553 Alpha -- Secondary Testing

[moonbutt74]

This is a no-frills thread.

I am looking for additional competent testers to provide proper feedback.
Testers are assumed to be experienced. Thank you.

Okay here it is.

Flash in order of appearance. Required.

• cm_ivy-test_rebuild.zip
• cm13_ivy_updater_system-etc.zip <--Fixes audio.
• cm13_ivy_updater_bootimage_ round1.zip <-- Fixes external storage

Thanks @MotexT for initial testing and feedback.

So, working:
All CM apps; RIL; WiFi, Bluetooth; Theme Engine, Audio, Bluetooth/WiFI Hotspot work confirmed

Buggy:
Bluetooth (crashes of Bluetooth Share);
Camera (color bugs, frontal camera take photos with glitches);
Initial load/Load after reboot (glitches, performance loss - solving easy with locking/unlocking device);
AutoBrightness (small delay when switching brightness levels on the fly)
Screen Recorder

Not working:
NFC;
External SD Card;
OTG

Again this is alpha. This is for sinlge sim, you are welcome to test on dsds, i would be very interested in the results.

Cyanogenmod Source

Thanks to/for

@CTXz Sources and convincing me to get a Z5P instead of another Sammy device.
Sony Kitakami Platform Developer Organization

@zacharias.maladroit For answering questions, many questions. [ still have more... xD ]

Those of you without a sense of humor, go away.

Okay current features i'm working on and stuff that works/doesn't work

UVC support enabled in kernel. probably need to build rom-side support still. libuvc avutils etc.
- This is for plugging in camera devices in conjuction with apps like LegitDashcam.

USB Gadget functionality as per pelya's work ,
- pelya/android-keyboard-gadget

I am working my kernel source here toward net-huntery goodness.

The rest you tell me, and you tell me properly. Messages like
"waahhh my whatchamhoozit is all floompy"
are not acceptable.

This is not a random discussion thread either. Idle chatter belongs in general.
This is also NOT a discussion thread for Xposed,Viper, etc..

Thank you.

Notes and Updates

NOTE

SELinux is COMPLETELY disabled on this build. If You want security go back to stock.
SELinux enforcing is the goal though.

I strongly recommend using a "traditional" root os SuperSU over systemless-root.
Reasons:

Opengapps requires a factory-reset or fresh install to set up correctly!
Privacy Guard based root sucks. It forgets alot of permissions granted.


Use BETA-SuperSU-v2.52
Would have posted earlier but needed a smoke break *>cough<*

NOTE: this initial offering is in 3 parts due to limited bandwidth issues.
When i have resolved external storage i will upload a new build.
NFC may take a little longer.

I'm using a single SIM version.

Please continue the work. I'll start testing by the weekend.

Thanks,

If i can get you to specifically test and log screen recorder that would be great. [including during playback]
Currently it appears to function but when it comes to playback of the recorded file, playback breaks.

Thanks.

So, a small report about this ROM. For now I'm using it two days in a row, and it's pretty stable - you can use main functions without any troubles: WiFi, RIL, Themes Engine etc. Bluetooth works great, crashes sometimes and automatically restarts - not a big deal. It's a really smooth for alpha build and could be used even as daily driver if you close your eyes on some small bugs with not so important stuff. Anyways, testers are welcome

K, actually i don't know. But it's cool that you have a smart watch, would you mind be a tester/logger for that function in particular?
That would be great.

Thanks

Hi , you are most likely using the wrong recovery for your device
See here and get a correct recovery

Ok cleaned this up a bit.

I don't really have much issue with discussion on GIT etiquette, and tips to keep your "house clean" as it were. I think that's a good thing with devs working together on things like that.

Here's the bottom line. If you are merging commits into a kernel you have to keep the original authorship, period. To do otherwise is kang. We all know this.

Now if some dude has some private repo where during personal testing authorship is removed, but anything merged into the public kernel or the release repo/binary maintains proper authorship, then that is a bit gray, but the user is not clearly attempting to claim authorship at all.

If anyone sees a blatant kang, or attempt to hide/claim authorship, please report to the mods for handling. If this particular point needs more discussion, please open up a thread about it and have a non flame war discussion about it.
@moonbutt74 - I do ask that you make it very blatantly sure what your public release repo is, and that your authorship is maintained, and I actually recommend you do not link your personal playground repo to avoid situations.

Thanks guys.

After looking thru all and speaking with the OP, I am closing this thread.
