OK, so I lied. I said AICP would be the last, but this really! will be the last.

You may notice I have capped the OC down to 1.7GHz from the 1.998GHz, as I think it was too much of a drain on our failing batteries; when overlain with the device kernel bug that forced the CPU to run at the highest clock speed, regardless of what it was set at.

looking great rom

I am downloading it. Thanks!

Are you seeing ALL your listed issues with ALL Nougat ROMs? and when you say "all nougat" ROMs are you only talking specifically on this device? or on other devices as well? I actually have another two devices with official ROMs on them (crDroid and RR) so if you have a link I could try? just out of interest.

But, in general, I am a single guy (not a member of the ROM team), with only a single (xt905) phone, and am actually running the RR ROM as my daily, so if it isn't affecting me directly, it wont be looked at. I kinda just built this ROM due to AOKP's historic reputation, and I liked the roid-raged unicorn

and because I could.

The link you posted does not work (You appear to have copied the shortened text and not the actual link). I was talking about a link to a web page with an inline video that does not play within the default browser. I'd just like to check if it works in the browser I personally use; ie Via.

can't see sim contacts.

I just tested on a spare device (N5 Running Nougat crDroid) which has no SIM card installed, and when I tried to create a new contact, it asked if I wanted to save it "internally" (remember no SIM) or in my google account. When I tried the same thing on my daily (running RR and also has a SIM), it didnt ask me where, but simply saved it directly to my google account. Personally, I havent saved a contact to the SIM since the "good-old days" before I started using smartphones/android (ie google account) (my first one was actually a windows based device). Doing a quick web search showed this behavior is not uncommon (even maybe a "feature" of Android see https://android.stackexchange.com/q...contacts-on-my-sim-card-with-an-android-phone), and the first one I read suggested using the import feature (in contacts app) to access the SIM contacts.

What happens when you try to save a new contact? does it give you the option? Another thing I also noticed on my spare phone was that it went through a number of security requests before it allowed access to actually save the contact. I don't actually think it will fix your issue, but also check in "Settings/Apps/Contacts/Permissions". Other than that, it may simply be the way the ROM works. Without testing on another device running the same ROM and similar build dates, its hard to say.

And youtube streaming in default browser not working. working in other browsers but i like this default browser. that i am facing problem all the nougat roms.

I tried using the web version of youtube on my phone, and it would only play for about 1/4 of a second then stop. However, it worked fine on my other device (running crDroid with Jelly browser) Without a logcat, my guess would be the difference in memory between devices. I also noticed that crDroid uses the "frameworks_av" code directly from LOS while all the others I checked use their own versions, which may not have included any bug fixes by LOS. And there have been quite a few, even in the last few days (https://download.lineageos.org/xt897/changes/ eg Fix Memory Leaks)

 

[faisala66]

yes maybe thats why cm12.1 force closes its own.

I tried the ROM and it works perfect. I look forward to some compilation of andreo oreo 8.0. Keep it up !!

I would not expect Oreo to happen. I can build these xt907/xt905 Nougat builds as there is an official LineageOS 14.1 build for the XT897. As such, there is the source code for the motorolla msm8960 kernel, vendor and device. The XT897 is not planned to be getting LineageOS 15 , and therefore there will be no source for our device for me to use. From what I have read thus far, there are specific changes to the kernel (at least) that need to be made to compile Oreo. I have no plans to do such .

My mistake. I checked, and it appears that most of the changes in LineageOS appear to be automatically merged into other source. ie the Bug Fixes to lineage DID make their way into the source for this ROM; if the changes were made before my compilation date (less the few hours it takes to download the updated source, prepare the build process and run the actual build):highfive:

 

[faisala66]

anyway thanks

:good: :highfive: thanks for your precious time. I am much glad to meet you....

 

[DiamondJohn]

In case anyone has been wondering whats been happening regarding these Nougat builds, I am sad to say that my device has finally died, and therefore I have stopped doing my private builds.
