Nice, thanks. Could you summarize which features you did implement? I'm currently using LOS by Micha-Btz, and it's working great,but I might try this out if it's any different...

Can't say for sure what he changes. Not all his repos are open to public.

This version is the latest updated version of lineage, at the time of build. With all the newest changes from the msm8974 maintainers to get a working Android 7.1.2 on this device. The only extra difference is that I included the smartcard API, so u could use NFC pay with a compatibele sim card.

Which kernel does this ROM use? I can't find a repository at your GitHub
Might be a good idea to link to these sources from OP as public sources are required by GPL.

Btw, this information seems to be wrong

Thx for sharing. Will add them right away. They are indeed not on mine or lineage GitHub. The kernel source is on another GitHub. Will add a local_manifests to the message.

Thx. Works great so far.

My findings:
- original Sony camera app has that hw overlay issue.
- automatic brightness seems to be calibrated to bright
- wlan works smoothly (current aicp has has issues with that)

Not tested Bluetooth yet

Regards

Problems with lineage-14.1-20170721-UNOFFICIAL-amami.zip

I didnt have any other issues yet

@Hazou thanks for your work! This device still can work well and thanks for support LOS!

Pardon, is it possible to have this feature enabled to receive mms when data is disabled? It can be much of annoyance and inconvenience to have data always be turned on for those with limited data or having to turn data on and of manually just to receive mms
https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/172853/ I can beta test a patch if need, very useful feature. This device deserves a good maintainer like you!

Thanks again sir for attention!

is the gps working?

 

[Frash]

- GPS works
- HWOverlay needs to be disabled for Cam or Youtube
- Nightly reboots if the phone is charging over night - even with 21.07.2017 version

Hopefully the team could fix it. Great work so far

Yup, we are working on them. Just takes a lot off time to debug and find the issue. Also it's holiday season; sun, beach, party

 

[Hazou]

New version 8-10

Changelog:

• 3AM bug solved
• Touch firmware update (changed to stock amami)
• Time correctly set at boot
• Update in media codecs/profiles
• BLE peripheral mode enabled
• Network type change and search should be fixed

 

[Viktor245]

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update, Hazou!

Unfortunately, changing of network operator does not work with my 2 SIM cards.
I can change the network type and search for network operators, but changing the network operator is not possible.

I have tested various ROMs (AICP, Lineage - yours and Micha-Btz - and Paranoidandroid, v6.03).
Only with the stock Rom and with Paranoidandroid I can change the network operator.

The problem seems related to accessing the SIM card (at least my SIM cards). When the Z1C can read the contacts stored on a SIM card, I can also change the network operator.

Can you change the network operator without problem?

Hi Hazou,
there also seems to be a problem with the telephone function if you toggle the loudspeaker or the mute button during a call.
Once you click mute and enable the mic again, it will stay muted... Same problem seems with the loudspeaker button from time to time.
Would be great if this could be fixed.
Good work! It is really appreciated!

Hi Hazou,
I have also a problem with telephone calls. The microphone seems always to be muted.
When I use Google Duo or WhatsApp Calls if works flawlessly.
The reboot bug while charging is also still existant.
Bisides that: Nice work, thanks for that.
