HotSpot Issue

Greetings. My s5 recently tanked and I had to go back to my old s3. WOW. thatnks to this ROM I almost don't miss my s5. this thing is awesome. Great work DEVS! Thank U. One quick question. I am on build 20160906 and theres an issue with hotspot. I can set it up and clients can connect but no internet. I saw the post back on page 8 and it fixed the issue, but I couldn't find anything on whether or not this will have to be done on every nightly update. also, is there any chance the fix will get baked into the ROM?

Which version did you flash? I have not had to make any of the hotspot changes since I had done that. I thought it was baked into the latest Nightlies, but I could be wrong...

I downloaded and clean installed "exodus-6.0-20160906-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip" from the link in OP. I am running opengapps. everything is working great. just that one hotspot glitch.

Hello yeah everything from the rom is stock no adjustments. What i just realized is that i am using d2bst based s3. L710t boost model. Could this be the reason for no audio compatibility? I also couldn't get YouTube to work via playing videos. The audiofx app that comes with the rom won't work either.

Absolutely. This is particular ROM is specifically for d2spr.

Check this ROM out. Read carefully.

Thanks i really appreciated that. I will be trying this out. Are there any more marshmallow roms compatible with my model? Also the sound works as soon as i flash back to stock OH which was the last release for the original stock for the model.

I have the same problem but haven't tried the fix on page 8 yet.

Problem: Android 6.0 hotspot activates but there is no internet access for wifi clients. Internet still works on phone.

The hotspot fix for me was as simple as this:

1. On your Windows computer open up a terminal and type: adb shell
2. In the terminal window, type: " su - " (check your phone to approve)
3. Run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
4. Reboot

That's a little shorter than the fix on page 8, but it's all I needed. Run that command as root on the phone via any method (Terminal app, adb, via SSH, etc).

Fixed the issue for me on RingPlus after first using ChangeOfJinzoData-APNFix-V1.2.zip to get functioning phone and data service.

Note: You can also verify that it was set properly by using this command: settings get global tether_dun_required and verifying the output is 0.

Just wondering about something. According to Exodus updater we have relatively recent security updates with this ROM. On average what are the gaps in between once an exploit is found and when a patch is pushed through the updates?

The reason I'm asking is I was watching a mp4 (on a site I probably shouldn't have been on *grin*) a few days ago and my browser locked up and forced closed. Phone locked up and I had to pull the battery to restart. After the restart my s3 all seems normal again, but you never know.
Then I found out about this below.


https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-09-01.html


Processing media files part caught my attention. Luckily, I just use this phone strictly for browsing and using the XDA Labs app. No personal info at all other than my password for this forum is saved.

I just thought this was strange because I've not once had single issue since I flashed this ROM. I'm probably just being paranoid huh?
Will we eventually get a security patch for this exploit? Just wondering how this works on a custom ROM.

Thanks for reading.

I flashed build 20160908 and 20160908 tonight and cannot get past the welcome screen
I cleared the cache, data and such.

Not really sure what else to do

You can use any d2spr rom on l710t after flashing rom youll need to flash the symlink zip then all will be fine.

I have a 64GB SdCard formatted with f2fs and when i flashed this ROM, it said it was corrupted. When I searched this thread, I found in this thread that there is f2fs support... Any ideas what's going on?

Installed this Rom on my D2Spr after running an OctOS-MM build for a while (and thinking that was one of the best Roms I've ever used) , but was totally blown away by the quality your release. I've been lurking XDA for years, this Rom was good enough that I finally created an account! With the latest Nightly the build even passes the Zimperium Stagefright testing 100% for the first time since I can't even remember, so thanks Exodus Team.

My only question for the Exodus-Devs (besides whether you check these threads on XDA or your Google+ Page more for bug reports) is about Magisk and whether or not it's possible to modify your Delta Update process so that SuperSU wont get reinstalled during every nightly flash?

Currently after every Nightly I have to:
1) Flash Nightly & wait for the cache to rebuild/reboot -> 2) Full-Uninstall SuperSU -> 3) Reboot to Recovery -> 4) Reinstall Magisk/PhhSuperuser/Systemless Xposed, 5) Wait for Xposed to do it's thing, 6) Reinstall Phh-Superuser apk as it gets wiped out by SuperSU in Step 1

I did some digging into this and found the "Secondary Flash" folders but since your update process seems to reflash SuperSU no matter what Ive tried (Deleting the UPDATE-SuperSU.zip, Creating a Symbolic Link from UPDATE-SuperSU.zip to redirect to Phh-Magisk-Superuser.zip, chmod 000 UPDATE-SuperSU.zip) but no matter what, SuperSU always seems to gets through...I'd appreciate any help with this, but know that you guys are probably not exactly focusing on Magisk at the moment with everything else that's going on in DroidLand right now. Thanks a bunch for this flat-out amazing Rom regardless!

@SimLynks Glad your enjoying the Rom . What might be a quick workaround would just be to open the rom zip and delete the su zip . When the rom flashes using the updater script it won't find the su file to flash and skip it . I've done that before while testing something else . Might be a little extra trouble each time vs what you described above . Just delete the supersu.zip from inside the rom zip and see if that works . You could also edit the updater script to remove what you don't want it to do such as flash supersu , wipe catch etc . Then just replace the script in the rom zip each time with your edited version .Holler back and let us know .

Thanks for the tip Max, that did the trick! Once I unpacked the latest Nightly ZIP, deleted SuperSU, Quickly read through the Updater scripts to finally figure out that SuperSU was getting flashed after being copied to addon.d from /tmp in the ROM update data, and finally renaming the addon.d/UPDATE-SuperSU_zip so it wouldn't be detected by the updater scripts, I was finally able to flash a nightly without having SuperSU flash through as well.

However just my luck, I did all this today just as a brand new version of Magisk/PhhSuperuser Magisk-Binary/Systemless Xposed was released, so I got the satisfaction of finally updating how I wanted, to immediately going back to exactly what I was trying to avoid, removing everything in recovery and starting all over again haha

Anyway even if just for my own sanity im probably going to throw together somesort of wonky Magisk-Updater script that automatically takes care of Unpacking the Nightly ROMs, removing SuperSU, repacking the Nightly ZIP, and finally placing the necessary Magisk updater ZIPs in the Secondary Flash folders as I continue testing this and figuring out a way to make updates a bit more seemless. Would the Exodus team have any interest in this script if/when I actually finish it, and if so would just posting here be enough for the team to evaluate it, or would pushing a commit on Github be more effective? Alternatively its also totally cool if the DevTeam prefers I STFU about Magisk so you can focus on other things like this ROM. Anyway Ill be updating this thread eventually once I finish my script and/or give-up on it and Magisk.

Thanks again for the pointer Max, always the most obvious things I eliminate as possibilities...

great work:good::good::good:

I have an easy question to answer. I have been flashing the nightly builds as they come out because I assumed that even if there were no specific Exodus team changes that the nightlies would pull in the latest CM nightly builds, etc.

Is that a correct assumption? Or, have I just been flashing the same code when there are no Exodus changes?

Thanks.

Bug Report: In Multiuser Mode I cannot enable Bluetooth when logged into any User except the "main" Owner user account.

Seems to be a common issue, out of three CM based ROMs on two different devices, only CM 13 on a Droid Bionic has Bluetooth function correctly in Multiuser mode.

Thanks for the tip Max, that did the trick! Once I unpacked the latest Nightly ZIP, deleted SuperSU, .

Your very welcome , Glad it worked . Just removing the supersu file should do the trick alone without having to change the script . Might be less complicated . As for a script maybe after Nougat gets released and things settle down Dave can look at your script .

@techdog , it's hard to say how much change any given nightly would have but any changes that come down the pike that Exodus uses from CM or anyone else would be included through merges .
