[ROM][7.1.2][2018-01-15][desire 816 A5][Qualcomm SoC]unofficial LineageOS (inactive)

Can we Add dot matrix app in this ROM by which we can use auto sleep and auto wake feature of Original flip cover??

I have tried to put dot matrix into system,but nothing worked on it. So ,I think Cm14 is missing something.

Yes, hall sensor isn't handled right, so app doesn't know if cover open or not.
attach the app and i'll check it out

Okay ,here you are!

 

[frank9184]

I random thoughts you might able to get ril fix with Redmi Note 1 LTE ,Which is having a similar SOC.

And Redmi version almost bug free

Thnx...Lets hope final version will support it.

Is msm8928 SoC, need msm8226 or msm8974

Re synced and rebuilding
The rild startup issue might be it needing a NUL terminated string in the rild socket /dev/smd0 before starting. One of the qc routines (log message routine, I forget the exact name right now) in the Qualcomm rild blob is throwing a strlen error as it repeatedly segfaults, and Linux strings are supposed to be terminated with zero or strlen will segfault. The /dev/smd0 socket is completely empty until rild starts properly, so has no zero-terminated string to read in it.
Still no significant progress at this point.

rild blobs, strlen errors, segfaults...oh my! Wish I could help but way over my head. In the meantime, CM13 working beautifully so I say Thanks Again.

Today's build has broken nfc, broken Bluetooth, same old ril issues, and working still camera.
Videocamera still halts.
Not uploading yet

 

[bigsupersquid]

(mostly upstream) fixed the bt again.

Today's build uploading.
Celebrating the partial camera functionality and my new ISP that hopefully won't be so bloody slow.
So, last three big malfunctions are:
ril still starts randomly and eventually.
videocamera has a codec problem and won't record.
nfc still broken.

Built-in an extra tweak for fun, APNG (animated PNG) support. only seems to work in fennec though, haven't patched gello for it to handle apng yet.

Once the dwg build goes up too, maybe someone wants to test something for me.
If I leave my phone alone long enough while it's in the cm setup wizard it'll turn on the ril. So I'd like to know if the same happens on any dual sim devices. If it turns on the ril before you go through the setup wizard then it should be possible to configure the sims and use telephony during that boot (and then like mine, on subsequent boots once the dang thing decides to start itself up.)
But it doesn't always start up at all, and sometimes takes an hour or more to get going. So anyone who wants to test this idea on dual sim needs time to let it sit and patience.

DWG build uploaded
UL uploading yet again

 

[bigsupersquid]

ok, fresh dwg and ul builds uploaded. APNG support in Firefox if you install it. -userdebug instead of -eng (no red flashes, enable developer mode by tapping build number 5 times..)
working still camera. nfc still broken along with videocamera.

 

[hunter_bruhh]

Hey bro, build with ubertc 4.9, much smoother or I can build for you idc but it's better than GCC and ain't gonna break anything afaik (ROM dev here lmao, I speak from experience)

 

[naveenprasad24]

Thanks

First of all thanks for your beautiful work for (@bigsupersquid) building noughat ROMs for HTC desire 816 DWG version. Yesterday I tested your latest version. In previous built - camera , phone, sim are not worked

But in latest version, calling feature ( dialer) is fixed. But still now it shows please insert sim card and it unable to detect the sim. It shows Simcard not available. Camera works OK. But couldn't record video and whenever i try to record videos it come back to video section.

videocamera is broken by new n security feature that messes up mediaserver for older proprietary blobs.
the sim issue is across all variants.
you might try leaving it on for a while (until/if the No Sim label goes away) and try settings-backup and reset-reset network settings once the ril comes on. If it does /eventually/ activate the RIL on dual sim like single sim, then after the RIL is active and network settings are reset, it might let you configure sim service settings.

Hi bigsupersquid,

My a5_dug is like @naveenprasad24's phone. Videocamera and both sims are not working.

I tried "reset network" but It didn't change anything.

Reset network won't do anything useful until/if the ril starts. It just clears the telephony databases (and WiFi/BT accesses). Videocamera broken till cm fixes it or I hack into framework and remove the 'security fix' that needs newer binary blobs to be effective. doubt the a5 will see N blobs from htc, and pretty sure Qualcomm obsoleted our SoC this year and won't be updating our blobs anymore either.

What about another HTC device with the same setup as ours. Some HTC devices are getting N this year. We maybe just stuck with CM13.

nah, if androidarmv6 code plus device folder tweaks could bring my froyo Optimus V up to KitKat with only Qualcomm ICS adreno blobs, we'll have cm14 running OK on this device.
maybe a little glitchy but it'll mostly work out. and I've got a template for what to do to framework to get rid of the "native buffer handle" that is locking out camcorder function. good old indie devs. Oops, not sony this time (was for phone calls though) but one plus one. If the patches work out (attempting some from here)
i might be able to steal msm8974 blobs from the m8 and m8d of they get updated, but they're not all going to work with the a5 (and they generally depend on each other which makes it harder to pick and choose which ones to take.)
considering Sony Xperia blobs, one of those has msm8974w or something like that which is almost compatible with the a5 SoC, but the radio is different, and probably the camera too.

 

[bigsupersquid]

so I was messing around and noticed that the still camera is relatively fast. Not as quick as a real camera shutter, but noticably faster than I'm used to with android.

And I tested several SD cards. Some are recognized, some aren't.
My little Lexar 16GB, all four partitions mount and are readable by the ROM. A VFAT partition and 3 EXT4 partitions (android storage, /userdata, raspbian, and /system from my souped up old Optimus V if it matters.)
While my 64GB samsung high speed card, 2 partitions, VFAT and EXT4, which cm13 reads just fine, is unrecognized in cm14.
