[ROM][7.0][TW][Exynos][Stable]Refined Nougat N7FE Port 6.0

[Minus256]

So. Since 7.1.1 is going to take a while. id like to give you guys something to mess with. This is not to be mirrored to a thread on XDA to avoid confusion

Here is my Lineage 15.1 Treltexx build folder : GoogleDrive

To follow updates and when new builds are posted/changelogs for them, join here : https://goo.gl/c836TF

This is only for N910C/N910H. it is basically a public ALPHA. i post builds there almost everyday to test on my own device.

Q : Why LOS 15 not LOS 16 Which you worked on ?
A : The LOS 16 is in a much worse state than 15.1 and i dont have the knowledge to fix it properly yet

Q : Can i use this as a daily driver ?
A : Probably not, unless you dont use your phone for calls

Q : Can you build for XYZ
A : N910S/L/K and N915S/L/K Trees are kinda ready, but until i fix some common bugs i wont be compiling for them

As of 6/3/2019 BUILD #2 The bugs are :

NO SIM Card support whatsoever
NO NFC
NO OFFLINE GPS
VIDEO RECORDING IS UNSATBLE AND ONLY WORKS IN FOOTEJ
And possible other undiscovered bugs.

everything else like camera, OMX, Audio should be working fine

idk have fun i guess. xoxo

EDIT :

BUILD #3 Is avalible.

- Working GPSD (Location now works. Not offline GPS Tho)
- Working baseband (The modem loads and wont crash the phone, however it will not read simcards yet)
i forgot to mention, fingerprint is working

EDIT 2 :

Simcard fixed. Build will be updated later

This is an unprovisioned simcard to be clear. hence why it shows no signal i belive. once i get time ill try it on my main simcard and see how it goes. previously we didnt even get IMEI

I can mess around with that rom and test with everyday tasks cos i use my note4 for media player(music,video...etc)/IRC/Email/Websurf... but not for call/message.
nvm I have N910S variant and i will wait!
//i saw fingerprint driver in new helios5433's code. will fingerprint sensor also work with new tw 7.1.1?

• This is a full Note 7FE firmware port with android version 7.0

How to report new Bugs..

If the bug does not have notes, or not listed then follow these simple steps
Method 1 : provide a logCat (Mobile) OR Use LoggingKit.zip Then provide detailed explanation of the problem and how to recreate it

Method 2 : The ROM has an Auto Logcat service, Using any root explorer, navigate to /Data/HeliosLogger/Refined**.txt And Upload that file with a detailed explanation of the problem (Especially for FCs!)
P.S : That file is backedup on each boot. since 6.0
When you are done with the report, follow this POST to post the problem and follow the same scheme used, either quote that post or mention my ID to notify me

Is this custom firmware suitable for you ?

• You are able to understand the nature of custom ROMs and especially Ported Roms with Higher Android Version, and that they are never truly Bugless
• You are ready to give up on some functionality (bugs) and ready to sacrifice on some ease of use in some areas (mentioned below)
• You are ready to use a ROM that will have basic CAMERA functionality (1080P recording, 3rd party camera is almost mandatory)
• You are able to understand Basic "English" and have the ability to understand AND follow instructions
• You are not a nit picky person who is on the hunt to find Bugs that do not affect daily usage severely (Legit bug reports are welcome)
• You are capable of Finding 3rd party apps that might fix some bugs that might show from this rom
• You are Aware and take responsibility for any Damages caused by YOU or the CustomFirmware weather thats a failed alarm or a 2018 note 7

If the Answer to the above questions was "YES" please continue with the Post. if the answer to ANY is "NO" Please go Here And install a different Firmware. if you Lied and still felt obliged to spam the thread with reposted questions, lazy questions, stuff that are in F.A.Q and so on, i encourage everyone in this thread to IGNORE YOU and skip your question as it was never there.

OMG, thank you so much. That's like the Eid's present from you lol. Btw Which gapps do you recommend with this?

 

[Adonmez234]

Thank you very much Anan.

Lineage 15.1 works fine on my N910CQ, but the CPU temperature does not drıp below 75 degrees Celcius, device heats up too much and at 75% full battery, remaining battery time is sjown as 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Bluetooth LDAC drops frequently when I stream music to the headphones.

I installed the Mega Gapss package on it and they work.

Waiting for RR Oreo

This is only lineage 15.1 build. RR Oreo build will be posted later at night. im working on fixing some of the bugs

 

[exalented]

I installed the Mega Gapss package on it and they work.

Waiting for RR Oreo

Which exact package did you flash? I flashed magisk, gapps Pico (only to learn that play services constantly crashes then flashed full gapps. Same result..

Review of v3 so far on N910C
[✓] streamed 1080p hevc from remote server to the phone then had vlc transcode it to a Chromecast (working upnp and rendering stuff well ? although the limits of the HW start to show when you set vlc to x4 playback xD)
[✓] drivedroid boot UEFI Arch to Thinkpad x220t
[✓] wifi
[✓] magisk 19.2 & SafetyNet
[✓] YouTube 1080p
[✓] screen recording
[✓] sound and mic that's not used for calling
[✓] gapps camera
[✓] transferred app to phone via Bluetooth
[X] Fingerprints don't get added, but HW works (similar situation to previous ROMs)
[X] gapps video starts up a recording then when you hit stop the app freezes and the video functionality is inaccessible (until a reboot), open camera fails to write a video successfully.
[50%] RIL recognized an old unprovisioned sim (Receiving sim adapter to help test in the future)

 

[exalented]

Also, here's some nice results of this ROM (ROM threads, not oreo) before I took a nandroid backup xD
I forgot to turn it off after I used it last xD
Edit: that's with all battery optimization turned off. Great work!! ???

could pass the theme you're using?

 

[exalented]

could pass the theme you're using?

1. Ubunut replaced Roboto
2. You'll have to excuse me for not reflashing my nandroid backup, but I know for certain It's either one of these. :highfive:

[50%] RIL recognized an old unprovisioned sim (Receiving sim adapter to help test in the future)

Damn, you went all in, thanks for the excellent report. im curious about this unprovisioned sim thingy. i also have one, and i tried it and yes indeed ril connects to it. when i plug my working sim its ****s itself. im still looking into it but its for sure the same issue we face in 7.1.1 TW. perhaps a fix will be common. i hope
Im unsure about fingerprints either, the validity server is unstable af. it does work here but after few days of usage i need to re-register the fingerprint. not sure whats up with that but i want to try and take the validity app and FP service from N910F snapdragon, since they got a more uptodate version. will see how it goes

hopefully ill have RR up there after EID. i might throw in AEX too

I can mess around with that rom and test with everyday tasks cos i use my note4 for media player(music,video...etc)/IRC/Email/Websurf... but not for call/message.
nvm I have N910S variant and i will wait!
//i saw fingerprint driver in new helios5433's code. will fingerprint sensor also work with new tw 7.1.1?

if there is enough demand, ill compile an N910S test build (since we have a private N915 test version aswell.

Fun fact the SLK variants had ril much much longer before C/H ever did. tho it is the same state with the 50% working thingy. regarding fingerprint, the driver was always there. the issue is the system side that connects the driver to the phone itself. our validity service FP is from LP/MM only. it does not support anything higher

 

[eyupo92]

This one

Which exact package did you flash? I flashed magisk, gapps Pico (only to learn that play services constantly crashes then flashed full gapps. Same result..

Go to Open Gapps webpage and select

ARM -> 8.1 -> Super ( as this Lineage build is 32 bit - I installed AnTuTu benchmark and looked up if it was 32 bit or 64 bit from system info - I read it somewhere that was the easiest way to determine OS type )

Notice the message that shows up after flashing this Gapps -> it says make Google Dialer the default Telephony app otherwise phone will restart in each call you receive. So, after reboot, that was the first thing I have done.

Hello. Any Xposed framework for this rom? I cannot find xposed which is working for this and i always ended up bootloop

 

[ananjaser1211]

Thanks for your all effort to keep our old device active.
Patiently waiting for Note8 port 7.1.1 or LOS 16 as daily drive.

 

[kimpot04]

Can someone send me a working xposed framework for this rom. Everytime i find a flashable xposed, I always end bootlooping XD

Whoah. This is big news man! You don't let anyone rush you though. Release it when you feel its ready.

I know you have the standards that make us all love your roms

Hello , how to removed AOD on my device ?? I have flashed AOD after use this rom , but i wanna remove it. Anybody know how to removed its?? Thanks

 

[Master_Kendo]

Based on my findings so far, there isn't. Most Google Camera ports with HDR+ and such are only for 64-bit phones with Camera2API (Samsung Note 5, Note FE, Note 8, Note 9, etc.) and not for 32-bit phones without Camera2API (Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Note 3, S5, etc.). If you try to get it from APKMirror (the latest update for 7 0), you'll just have very basic camera functions (taking photos and videos) with Lens Blur. Till further findings, there is no hope for that Google Camera to be found ever.

Thank you so much for useful information.

I believe there was an option to uninstall if you just find always on display app in your app list. Not sure but someone mentioned it before.
