[ROM][OFFICIAL][9.0.0_r47][INACTIVE FOR PIE] Renouveau v9.0 (N920*/G92**)

[JoshuaDoes]

This project is currently on pause and will not resume for Android 9. Active development is taking place for Exynos7420 devices on Android 10, and Renouveau v10 will pick up once these developments are finalized and ready for testing. Renouveau also will no longer be based on ResurrectionRemix, as they are no longer continuing with Android 10. If a moderator sees this, I ask that they close this thread. No further help will be provided for Renouveau v9. Thank you!

Introduction

Renouveau is an aftermarket Android firmware designed to renew your Android experience, with popular bases driving it all for customization, performance, and stability.

AOSP
↓
LineageOS
↓
ResurrectionRemix
↓
Renouveau​

Renouveau has only existed for a few months now, so please be patient as the kinks get worked out and everything you could ever want and more is brought to the surface for your eyes to see (on your phone anyway).

Source Code

All the source code for Renouveau is available from the Renouveau GitHub organization. Any changes made from the original ResurrectionRemix and LineageOS bases can be found here.

Additionally, the source code for the prebuilt kernel (soon to be included as part of Renouveau) can be found here.

Known Issues:

• In-call audio on US-variant devices (see Patches down below)
• MTP May be fixed now according to some users, needs testing and feedback
• GateKeeperService (currently cannot be acquired by LockSettingsService, which prevents users from using security methods such as PINs and therefore prevents users from enrolling biometrics such as fingerprints) May be fixed now according to some users, needs testing and feedback
• If you install a recent OpenGApps build, Google's Setup Wizard may crash while adding the finishing touches
• Pre-installed Firefox will always crash (due to a bug Mozilla has yet to fix when the context of the app is in /system/priv-app until you update the app via a more recent APK or the Play Store)
• F-Droid still exists (oops)
• ViperFX will still want to install its driver despite the driver shipping with Renouveau, just give it root access to reinstall the driver and then you can revoke root access again if you wish

Working:

• Audio
• Bluetooth
• Camcorder
• Camera
• Capacitive Buttons
• Data
• Fingerprint (only if you have previously-enrolled biometrics from before the GateKeeperService bug was introduced) (see above)
• GPS
• HWC
• Microphone
• Notification LED
• Rotation
• S-Pen
• Sensors
• Torch
• Video Playback
• Wi-Fi
• Wi-Fi Hotspot (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz)

Supported Models:

• SM-G920F
• SM-G928X
• SM-N920T/W8/P
• SM-N920X
• SM-N9208
• Experimental: G92XUS devices
• Experimental: G92X devices

If your model is not listed as being supported above but the ROM works for your variant of the SM-N920* series or the SM-G92** series, please tell me! I'll be happy to support it.

Install Instructions:

NOTE: Before downloading Renouveau, please check to make sure your device is an SM-N920T. If it is not, you will have to follow an additional set of steps in order to be able to flash the downloaded ZIP. Otherwise, you will receive an error about this ROM not being for your device.

The additional steps, to be done after downloading the latest version of Renouveau:

• Open the downloaded ZIP file in your favorite archive software (such as 7-Zip, WinRAR, or good ol' File Explorer)
• Inside of the ZIP, navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android
• Drag the updater-script file to someplace you can access easily (such as your desktop)
• Open the extracted updater-script file with your favorite text editor (such as Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text 3, etc)
• On the very first line, you should see some text that looks like this:

  assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "nobleltetmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "nobleltetmo" || abort("E3004: This package is for device: nobleltetmo; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););

  Remove this line such that the first line instead says this:

  ui_print("Target: Samsung/nobleltetmo/nobleltetmo:9/PQ3A.190801.002/eng.joshua.20190914.154326:userdebug/test-keys");

• Save the file
• Drag the edited file back into the same location inside of the ZIP, and overwrite the changes if it asks you to
• Use this edited ZIP to finish the installation/update instructions

1. Download the latest version of Renouveau v9.0 from the given releases page
2. Download the latest version of the Helios for AOSP 9.0 kernel from the given releases page
3. Download the latest version of OpenGApps (ARM64/9.0/nano) or a synonymous microG package (optional)
4. Download the latest version of Magisk (optional)
5. Reboot into recovery mode (support for recovery issues will only be provided for TWRP)
6. Flash Renouveau
7. Flash OpenGApps/microG (optional)
8. Flash the prebuilt kernel (if you're not using SM-G920F)
9. Reboot into Renouveau and set up your device
10. Reboot back into recovery mode, flash Magisk, and then reboot back into Renouveau (optional, but recommended for additional functionality not available without Magisk)

It may be possible that it already works for you! The only way to find out is to attempt to follow the install instructions and see if it boots. Before doing so, make sure to back up your device and then wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik/art cache. If you get a stable install running and can do your usual daily tasks, I'll make sure to add the N920W8 to the list of supported devices.

Good luck!

Quick boot and smooth home launcher. But My device cant find the sim (Note 5 N920T - sim VIETNAMESE)

 

[DqrKn3Zz]

The Bluetooth works very well on the N920G in both Floyd V2 and my builds of crDroid and Resurrection Remix, I do not know why not on the N920T.

Btw, Enes bringed up AOSP 9 for the Galaxy S6, not the Edge+ version & Khoailang2005 was the first to bring AOSP 9 kernel for N5, so, JijonHyuni take his idea an continue with it.

Are there any custom ROMs where your device can find the SIM? If so, a link to the custom ROM would be helpful!

I'll go ahead and update the credits section, thank you!

No problem, also your rom boot and runs very well on this device.

Glad to hear it boots! One thing I am looking for is translators, I don't want an English-only translation for anything I add :c

Hi,

It boots up when i flash the hyper kernel after flashing the rom.

bugs:
- In call audio is not working, when i call someone and its just blank no sound and hang up the Dialer with a beep and same with incoming call!

whats working:
-Bluetooth work fine on N920W8 and everything works fine except in-call audio.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To do:
-I think the main culprit is with the kernel it is not designed for our mobiles but instead it is made for all other samsung note 5 models.
-Please make some changes or build kernel and add support for N920W8 & N920T.

Thank you for the feedback!

Unfortunately I haven't self-developed any piece of the kernel behind this, but maybe I can try and work some things out, but who knows. I have some ideas I can experiment with, however I don't personally have service on my N920T for testing. I see you've joined the Discord server, so hopefully we can stay in contact on this issue and figure something out!

Could we get the support for N920C
Thankyou:laugh:

Try it and tell me if it works! I can't support things I can't test myself.

 

[munirshah77]

Hey JoshuaDoes. Awesome job. We need people like you here. Just a quick question. Does call audio work for n920T?

I wish I could tell you if call audio worked or not for the N920T, but I don't have service at the moment and won't for a little while. Would you be able to test for me?

 

[miatawnt2b]

Hoping wifi tethering gets fixed. It's the only thing holding me back since I use that feature all the time.

 

[sufian.ahmed2007]

@JoshuaDoes first of all thanks man for your great work your ROM working absolutely fine on s6 edge+ G928G with hyper kernal 2.6 no problem so far I m testing it right now but only one thing recent and back button are not working every thing else is working fine but I m still testing

Just so you know, WiFi tethering *appears* to be working fine for me on my SM-N920T. I can create the hotspot on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. I can also connect to it from my laptop just fine. The only thing I am not sure about at the moment is whether or not internet connectivity will work as I don't currently have service on my phone to test.

Thank you for the kind words!

I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to start with getting the back and recents keys working, however should you decide to stay on Renouveau (or any other ROM that uses the Hyper Kernel), your best bet would be to enable the navigation bar and treat your phone like a soft navigation phone. In Renouveau you can find this under Settings > Renouveau Tools > NAVIGATION.

Best of luck!
