FM radio does not work for me. It says service not available, although headphones are plugged in and recognised. Works fine on LineageOS 15.
Wanted to add log file but XDA app does not allow :confused:

Hi all, finally I installed this ROM 20200513,following the indications from @samhhmovil, and everything was ok.
Any app was lost and I got the same launcher and appearance than in LOS15. After using a few days, some comments:
- Bluetooth, ok, tested in car and working, and transferring files throught PC, also ok.
- GPS, ok, for car navegation or sports, ok.
- Root, ok, with Magisk 20.4. Thanks @Flounderist. Indeed, any problem this time.
- Battery drain, similar to LOS15. One night, being idle, the drain was almost 40%, but I discovered that Malwarebytes was in background. At night, no data and no wifi, 8/9% for 10 hours.
- Heating, similar to LOS15. Now, with higher temperatures in Spain, more increasing.
- WiFi. Here is the main trouble that I have found. I haven't been able to connect to 5 GHz, although is not a big problem for me. The issue is that in 2,4 GHz, losts the signal after a while, even
with my wifi home, and is impossible to connect to any wifi. The symbol remains wiht a question mark, and indicating that the network doesn't have connection to Internet. It is necessary to
reboot the phone in order to get again WiFi. But after another while, the same, and reooting again if you want to connect by wifi. In LOS15, worked well and I wonder what is the problem.
Any suggestion will be welcome.
I have updated with the last ROM 20200520, but the issue remains. By the way, a changes report with the new ROMs would be useful, because apparently is the same ROM than 20200513.
In any case, thanks for the effort to keep this device still alive.

@ISPG
@esver is just only building this ROM from the public available LOS-sources for his own use. He just publishes it, maybe someone other find it useful.

He's not a "dev", and he will not fix any issue by himself. Especially not particular issues for this device.

You can use it, "as it is", or you can forget it.

Just my 2¢,
samhhmobil

Hi, as all the uploaded ROM was automatically from a script, there was a bug in the sync and it seams that it was not correctly updated.
now I use --force-sync, so it must be better and the release 20200528 have the security updates from May.

I'll try to change the hard drive of my build server to a bigger before September to build two releases :
- one from the official repo without modification
- another with a single modification that is selinux permissive

After that, on my personal roadmap:
- I will try to build for other fusion3 device (ZR and ZL)
- I will try to sign my release and OTA update.
- I will try to correct all the selinux problem

Hi:
I have never used that option. I normally connect to my home WiFi or relative and friends WiFi. And in public places, I use VPN tools.
In this moment, this ROM is good and enough for me, with updated security patches.
Regards.

Hi @ProtonCar

The problem with WiFi at 5GHz continues. Although both systems worked at LOS 15, 2.5 and 5 GHz, now at LOS 16, only the first one worked. In my home WiFi, I have the 5 GHz option saved in saved networks, but it does not go to the list of networks that can be activated, I do not know why. Instead, I see a neighbor's 5 GHz network to be able to connect (obviously I haven't tried to connect to it).

When I commented that I had corrected the problem with WiFi, I was referring to the 2.4 GHz one. I don't know why, but if I leave the WiFi on, sometimes when I activate the phone, I see that it is disabled and with a small question mark. It is impossible to reconnect unless the phone is turned off. But if I turn off the WiFi, when I am not going to use it, then when I need it, it activates normally and does not give problems.

Hi ISPG and thanks for your reply. I think I have the exact same issue which is a shame as my company offers free VPG WiFi but only in 5Ghz ;)
It used to work @LOS 15.1 so I wondered if it maybe has something to do with Magisk...I used Xposed all the time until LOS 16 - and that's when the WiFi issue started. I thought about clean installing LOS16 again - but I wanted to wait until it turns official :D

Regards

The latest build is of17th June, in the download folder there left only the build of 0610 and the one of 0617. You'll find the download link earlier in this thread, in the announcement of the new dev, esver. And yet he's updating new builds weekly.

Many thanks to the dev again!

Hi,

The lastest builds are at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RBZug5lwiOQydkCjEHXicXixyZzmTh2q
My build script remove automatically the old builds, because my google drive was full and I could no longer upload a new version.
Hi ** Thank you for your efforts to develop this ROM, but with frequent releases there is no treatment for some gaps such as hidden networks not appearing and connecting to them. Please address this problem in the future.

Hi, will the development of this ROM be officially released. Or will it remain as it is. Is there an idea to develop 17.1 for this device

Hi, I haven't do anything on this rom from 2 month, its is only automaticaly build by my computer with a script and automatically uploaded on my google drive.
I think the best option for you to solve this problem is that you correct them by yourself and you push the patch to the official repository, it will be in the automatically build rom by my computer ;)

I've never developed rum before, and I'm not a professional. You're better than me in this field. Thank you, my friend, for your response؛)
