This is not the place for this type of question. This ROM is in development .

So sorry if I had asked a question in that post..:)

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Did any one tried to change kernel? I tried but its rebooting into fastboot mode.. don't know why:confused:
Just curious whether the lags can be removed with a change in kernel..:D
Also... I flashed oreo patch.. all it does is it disables background running of apps i guess.. they are not catched... So they reload every time i try to open...taking time and draining battery... So i disabled it.
I underclocked cpu to 1.6ghz and put ondemand as cpu governer.....:)
There are minor lags although..:(
So we are in need of a stable build..;)
Thanks to daniel_hk ..for working hard in making ROMs for this device:D

I flashed micro gapps.... Trusted face is working fine...;)
But we have to manually swipe up to unlock...unlike OP5t.:(
Hope there is a way to disable keyguard:D

check if the xposed module instant face unlock is supported by Android oreo, if yes then download and install it and activities it in xposed modules and it'll be like op5t then

yes it does supports oreo. use this module

    Oreo - Mission impossible?
    I started studying "O" in early August. All I got were the O-preview3 factory images for qcom and tegra devices which I don't have. Built it out and made it boot wouldn't be too hard but everything seemed different. It took me some time to figure out the flow of the new frameworks. At that time, only the RIL and Graphics sources were really "O". The most devastated situation would be the RIL. Seemed dead end at that time. That was the first time I feel impossible. The source from MTK's RIL made things even worse. All the .c functions are buried inside prebuilt static libraries. Frankly, up to this moment, I'm still not fully understand the workflow of MTK's RIL... :eek:
    While I was struggling with the RIL, "O" - Oreo was launched. The most helpful info. were also released in source.android.com. Sadly, I can't access this website no more... Never take it for granted for anything. You can loose anything/anyone for no reason. :( The sources were then completed and took me some times to made it boot "again".
    Eventually, I can make the RIL almost fully working recently. Yes!:victory: All I can say is, we are lucky. Our RIL blobs only experience a few crashes which I can managed. I had tried five or six sets of blobs for different MTK chips. Each had different crashes so there is no guarantee that all MTK devices might work...
    Last week, I finally figure out how to made the camera work. Seems not "impossible" now so I start this new thread.
    I can't start a DevDB now. The response from XDA official is "They can't think of obvious reason". Anyway, I pay for ad-free and still the status shows connection to axx.amazon-adsystem.com. It just hang there for minutes (until timeout I suppose). However, I can start a normal thread (after minutes of delay) and that's not a problem to me. I already learnt to live with so many obstructions now. :cyclops:

    There were just too many distractions and ridiculous people out there. I don't want to waste time arguing so I would make it short this time. I rather spend time on something I'm good at. ;)

    For those who want help, no matter its ROM related or about development, please don't use PM. There are many limitations with PM. Do it formally. Start a thread in Q/A or post with all the details you can get (log, kmsg, screenshot, etc.). It's no harm for more opinions. Hiding in the dark doesn't help.

    Current Status :confused:
    KERNEL
    Patch: Binder and sdcardfs update are required and essential for Oreo.
    See commits in my github for detail

    AUDIO
    Recording: Working
    Playback: Working
    Patch: Load a copy of the struct instead of the pointer to address.

    BLUETOOTH
    Working
    Issue: Workflow issue in BTIF driver.
    Patch: New driver and HAL build from source.

    CAMERA
    Flash/Torch: Working
    Capture: Working
    Issue: User handle is required in GetMemory. MTK blobs return null.
    Patch: Save a copy of the user handle. Don't know if other devices might work or not. It's better to rebuild a few blobs but I don't have the source for my device...
    Issue: Oreo use a ring buffer of native_handles and no more ANativeWindowBuffer.
    Patch: A wrapper is required for the libcam.client. (The better way would be rebuild it but again no source...)
    HDR: Working with Snap in LOS-15.1
    Video recording: Working
    Issue: Oreo doesn't support GRALLOC (or I don't know how). The old HAL1 implementation doesn't work too.
    In short, need to find a way for the metadata that our old blobs can handled.
    Patch:
    1. Add libcamera_parameters_mtk for the MTK extra parameters
    2. Add another mode to handle Gralloc in stragefright.
    3. Patch the OMXNode to handle Gralloc mode.
    4. patch the OMXClient to use mediaserver
    5. Patch the hardware interface to handle Gralloc Metadata and work with the new OMX interface.

    2. Wrap (eventually replaced) the libril from MTK with AOSP patching for MTK
    3. Patch the RIL interface/service to work with the MTK vendor library.

    20171222 LineageOS 15.0 beta test build

    Last week, I started another round on the kernel. There were some progress and I just built another LOS-15.0 test build.

    In this build,
    1. The latest Lineage have a few features included (eg. double tap status bar to lock)
    2. SOD is fixed.
    3. DT2W is working now
    4. Charging and power management are enhanced.
    While other issues are still there... :(

    This would be the last 8.0.0 test build and It's about time moving to 8.1. :)

    About RIL:
    Since there are many queries, I summarize my findings here. I only study the official source briefly so correct me if I'm wrong. ;)
    The official document from AOSP mentioned that the old socket approach would parcelled 3 times. That means same set of data are copied 3 times per request/response. Oreo's new approach is to avoid that. A request/response would only parcelled once between the service and Framework.

    Official MTK RIL in O-preview
    1. They keep using sockets to communicate so there would be minimal changes in librilmtk and vendor RIL.
    2. Work around is to introduce the proxy daemon and library to work with Oreo. I would imagine its still copied (at least?) 3 times.
    3. Framework patches are required in java level and so as the services. Some of those might be ignored as before. This seems against the spirit of project treble.
    Frankly, if all my trials failed, this would be the last method I can think of.
    IMHO Mediatek engineers are a bit lazy.

    We don't have the full sources for vendor RIL library (mtkril), libril (librilmtk) and the ccci daemon. Therefore the workflow from kernel to HAL can only be the same as before.
    My approach is to replace mtkrild and librilmtk. Replacing mtkrild is rather straight forward. There are a few functions inside librilmtk which are required by the vendor RIL. Therefore my libril it's still a wrapper (for librilmtk) now.
    I used the AOSP libril as start. I was trying to create the IRadio service for MTK so that framework can be untouched. Everything can hopefully be done inside the libril. During the course, there were a few crashes in the vendor RIL. I had to wrap or replace the crashed functions. To do so, I had to binary edit the blobs to redirect the calls. The workflow of librilmtk is quite tricky and frankly I'm still not fully understand. I just emulated the workflow of librilmtk by supplying the same set of data to vendor RIL and daemons. The rest was patching each request and response so that the correct data would be parcelled to/from Framework.
    I don't know how to explain but the source is there. For those interested, you may compare it with the source from AOSP and MTK. It shouldn't be too hard to understand what I was doing.

    There would be some spare time in the upcoming holiday. Hoping something might pop up... :D

    20180206 OmniROM 8.1

    @santoimam, Frankly, MTK just has too much to hide. It doesn't help much but having the source would definitely be better.

    I just make a clean build before dinner. It's out now.
    This is the latest Omni-8.1 Android-8.1.0_r7 (OPM3.171019.013).
    The previous test builds are eng builds which were better for debug but has minimum security. From now on, it would return to userdebug.
    In this build:
    1. Source is sync to the latest Omni-8.1
    2. Video recording is fixed.
    3. Phonograph and equalizer are also fixed.
    4. When studying the video codec, I found out how to enable FLAC. MP3 and FLAC can be played now.
    APE and ALAC require some platform changes so I don't want to waste time. I think FLAC would be good enough already.

    All the major issues are more or less fixed. I'll tidy up the loose ends and hoping it can be my daily driver soon. Cheers! :D
    Edit: check post #273 for the camera patch for video recording. ;)

    P.S. As I mentioned many many times, dropping a few words or a link won't help anyone. It's just annoying and I have no choice but ignore it.
    If you don't want to provide detail and/or logs, etc. Please don't post on my threads. ;)
