What does / doesn't work
All hardware support issues will be the same as LOS / CM 14.1.
DOES

• GPS, orientation and acceleration work. GPS Status gets a good fix indoors.
• In-built camera app <snap> works fine.
• OMS support integrated.
• Magisk works, safetynet hding works, modules work.
• You tell me.

DOESN'T

• USBOTG - probably still not functioning.
• MHL does not work.
• Glonass - never going to work on old devices with CM-14.1.
• Substratum theming seems to have stopped working with older devices.
• n5120 - phone probably does not work without SElinux mode being changed to Permissive.
• You tell me.

Hints, tips & FAQs​

• RR is a very feature laden rom. Don't go mad and switch everything on when you first boot. Concentrate on a feature and see how you like it. Blur for example can take a lot of tuning to look right.
• If something does not run go into Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard and check settings.
• Also check the mode you have set for SElinux. Some functionality may be wrongly disabled in "Enforcing" which will work in "Permissive".
• To enable built in root go to developer options and activate Root Access.
• Use the smallest Open Gapps you can get away with (recommended Pico or Nano).
• Most issues / caveats for CM14.1 / LOS will apply for this rom!
• Long boot times on 2nd and subsequent boots? Go into Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard > Advanced > Bootup and disable startup on apps that don't need started on every boot.
• After flashing in TWRP you may see two messages saying "E:unknown command" - this can happen on all CM14.1 based roms and is nothing to worry about.
• Substratum needs to be installed from Playstore, in case you wonder why it's not there. It's an option.
• Adaway and Kernel Adiutor are no longer included in rom.
• Doze is working well. It minimises battery usage when tablet is NOT being used.
• Lockscreen current display is worth enabling.
• Use GPS Status to properly test GPS and re-calibrate sensors if needed. Disable wifi and bluetooth scanning in rom settings for accurate results!

Q. Does xposed....
A. There are now versions of Xposed which run on Nougat. However Xposed WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED AT ALL. You will be on your own. Do not report bugs. Logs that show Xposed use will be ignored.

Q. The install button does not work when I want to install an app, usually a non market side-loaded app?
A. Stop / disable the application running that is using a screen overlay.

Q. Does OTA work?
A. Yes. It checks to see if a new version has been published and alerts you. Links are provided in the OTA app for direct downloads. The rom will still need to be flashed manually as normal.

Q. Why is this rom a Rootless build?
A. I am giving the user the option of selecting to install a root of their choice. This Rootless version will allow you to install the latest Magisk, SuperSU or any other viable solution. Running the rom without any root applied is also a viable option.

Q. What theme engine is integrated?
A. Full OMS7 support has been implemented, so Substratum can be installed from the play store if you wish to theme the rom.

Q. Can I use an alternate kernel?
A.You may be able to use other kernels. Use Flashify to flash them or extract the boot.img and flash as img from TWRP. Do not wipe kernel / dalvik if only flashing a kernel. @ZaneZam s excellent Boeffla kernel works really well.

Q. I would like louder / better quality sound.
A. I use and recommend the latest mod by A.R.I.S.E. - ARISE+Magnum+Opus+20170918+Stock+Edition.zip from here. I now recommend using the in-built Magisk compatibility mod. See advanced post #7 for more on Arise.

Q. Can I replace the weather provider?
A. Go to settings > apps > configure apps > weather. Add weather provider takes you to the playstore. Download Yahoo weather provider. Back to weather and enable Yahoo weather provider.

Q. Can I mirror the rom on a different provider?
A. I only want the rom served from AFH / Sourceforge so I can monitor downloads. NO mirroring is permitted.



If you want to send me a full set of logs for a bug, I recommend using Syslog.

Failed to flash with Error 7, verified the hash and file is ok.

 

[gfmoore]

Its a bit scary, but the upgrade (dirty flash) from an earlier beta has worked well.! Phew.

For others, could you perhaps add the link to gapps on your downloads section please.

Ta very much

Hi @pvsgh,

You do have an n5110 model (wifi only)?

couple of thoughts:

• did you do a full wipe before attempting the install?
• can you let me know your system partition size (have seen error 7 due to non-standard partition sizes)

go to wipe > advanced wipe > select system > repair or change file system > check size.

Hi @gmoore, glad you got there...

dirty flash can be a bit scary for the first few hundred times, after a couple of thousand though it's like water off a ducks back

Will add gapps link, thanks for the feedback

Hi @pvsgh,

• can you let me know your system partition size (have seen error 7 due to non-standard partition sizes)

go to wipe > advanced wipe > select system > repair or change file system > check size.

Yes, 5110 model, did a full wipe. I might have a modified partition structure, did that a long time back so have to check again for confirmation. Although, LOS14.1 installs fine.

EDIT: System partition size is 1511MB, so it should not be the space issue. I also compared the LOS14.1 update-script with update-scrpipt from your ROM and there is no difference except some ui_print commands.

This is the step where it is failing:
block_image_update("/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/SYSTEM", package_extract_file("system.transfer.list"), "system.new.dat", "system.patch.dat") ||
abort("E1001: Failed to update system image.");

EDIT2: Checked the recovery logs, and it does seem it is expecting some particular size for system partition, will try reverting back the partition sizes to stock and see if that works.
here is a some information from recovery log:

Patching system image unconditionally...

DOESN'T

• USBOTG - doesn't work yet. MTP error shows up in occasional use but does not seem critical.
• MHL does not work.
• You tell me.

USBOTG I can probably live without, but I use MHL a lot when we travel to play movies on the hotel TV. Is this something that's a temporary upstream glitch? Something that you just need time for? Or is it something that is likely a permanent limitation of the ROM? I appreciate the work you're putting in to revive this relatively ancient device (Thank you!). I'm just trying to figure out if this is a ROM I can use as a daily driver in my personal use case.

No CM based note 8.0 ROM has had it to date, as far as I'm aware. It would depend on if RGIB had the time to implement in LOS / CM14.1 as it's one of the most involved systems to port and bring up to date.

If you must have MHL then it's touchwiz based rom for you ATM I'm afraid...

It IS however doable as the S4 RR nougat port i also maintain has working MHL ?

Thanks for the quick response and explanation. That makes me sad. I may still make the jump anyway and just bring an old phone along with me for movie watching. I'm so sick of being stuck on an ancient (likely exploit ridden) version of Kit-Kat because Samsung couldn't be bothered to update this otherwise capable device.

Yeah totally agree. Hardware is remarkable still able and Nougat gets better performance out of it than Sammy ever could with KK.
As a rom it's still evolving and the niggles will eventually get ironed out.

I myself would love MHL as we have 2 note8.0s at home, mine obviously is one I develop on and is bleeding edge.
My wife's is still on KK as it's primary use is as a media player through MHL and she won't let me update it until MHL works...

 

[pvsgh]

partition structure restored, still the same issue.

This particular line from system.transfer.list causing the installation to fail:
erase 30,66050,97792,131586,163328,197122,228864,262658,294400,295587,327168,328194,359936,360962,392704,393730,425472,426498,458240,459266,491008,492034,523776,524802,556544,557570,589312,590338,622080,623106,655360

 

[Duckman5]

OK...so I decided to give it a try. Installed the linked TWRP, made nandroid, updated the baseband (I think I did this correctly) with Odin, and installed ROM with nano GAPPS. Wifi isn't working now. I can see networks, I can enter the password, but it doesn't connect. It just says "connecting" for a moment, then stops trying and just says "saved" under the network name. Kind of a problem for me for a wifi only tablet. I like the look and speed of the ROM, though, so I would like to at least try it for a bit. What am I doing wrong? Any thoughts?

Yes, a slight problem.
Probably it's the region code needs set, or the router channel changed. Channels 12 and 13 are out of band (and illegal) in some areas of the world. Check the channels your router broadcasts on and the region code in WiFi settings. If you need to access all 13 channels set region to Europe.

I'm not familiar with system transfer lists, but I'm sure i know what the problem is, it's just how we go about curing it for you.

I found on making Roms for another system a lot of slack system space, so increased the system partition to full volume size. I have also applied this to note 8 on this ROM, so instead of a system partition of 1.5gb we now have the full size of the volume, 2.5gb.
We need to check you have space to create a 2.5gb partition on the system volume - need to check the exact size when i get home.

In the meantime, you may find format / repair / resize partition in TWRP is enough to cure this...

I'm in the US and my router broadcasts on channel 11. I set the tablet to US region as one of the first steps when it was not working. ? I really want this to work. So much less lag than TouchWiz. Could I have messed up the baseband flash? What are the correct steps to do it?

So...I went ahead and set up a 2.4 gHz only guest network and I'm now able to connect to that network only. Is there an issue with 5 gHz networking?

Yes, I had 2.5 gb system partition, after I repartitioned it, this is what my partition size looked like (identical to stock)
8 92.3MB 1703MB 1611MB ext4 CACHE
9 1703MB 4387MB 2684MB ext4 SYSTEM
10 4387MB 4974MB 587MB ext4 HIDDEN
11 4974MB 4983MB 8389kB OTA
12 4983MB 15.8GB 10.8GB ext4 USERDATA

and before restoring it to stock, i had around 1.5gb for system:
8 92.3MB 193MB 101MB ext4 CACHE
9 193MB 1805MB 1612MB ext4 SYSTEM
10 1805MB 1820MB 15.0MB ext4 HIDDEN
11 1820MB 1828MB 8000kB OTA
12 1828MB 15.8GB 13.9GB ext4 USERDATA

I just feel like 2.5gb for system partition is a waste of space.
Also, I tried to extract this rom and convert it to old style format (system directory) but it failed to install due to some missing symlinks. Have to spend some more time fixing those
