Any chance we can get Oreo sir?

Any chance we can get Oreo sir?

I do plan on making an Oreo release at some point. However functionality wise I cannot guarantee anything. As always no ETAs.

 

[Zerikwan]

I really appreciate this work although I don't have Z5P. I wish I have it so I could do some testing. I love Z5 family.

Before Oreo, I want to port my old school favouirte rom to this device. (Omni Rom)

Thank you so much! I'm currently using Bernies unofficial lineage os 14.1 from the other thread. Can I just flash to this or do I need to go back to 32.4.A.1.54 first?

Flashing firmware 32.4.A.1.54 again is not required. You just need to make sure you were initially on firmware 32.4.A.1.54 before flashing Bernie's builds as well. As long as you wipe data/cache like the install instructions above suggests you should be fine.

 

[Mike3009]

I flashed it over and it works perfectly! Thank you!

 

[Joel16]

I've decided to scrap the omnirom idea for now. Anyways a little status update on....

You guessed it, Oreo!
As stated earlier, I cannot guarantee any functionality on any android version > 7.1.2 and I'm also pretty new to Android development so no promises here. Although I have yet to debug anything, initially only WiFi, Bluetooth, Brightness, Double tap to sleep/wake is currently working. Everything else is broken -> camera, flash, sim card detection, speakers, mic, internal storage and unless I missed anything else, just assume its broken. Until/IF I fix majority of these issues I won't be releasing any builds. I'll keep you guys up to date on this thread but for now there won't be any ETAs.

 

[Mike3009]

For real????? Man, you are freaking awesome! Really appreciate all the work you're doing! Definitely great to see anyone making progress on this. Best of luck!

 

[yeshuabainz]

nice,i hope u can add xperia function aswell ??

 

[Joel16]

Another Status Update for Oreo:
Speaker/Mic has been fixed with the Oreo build. All of the minor audio issues (reported by a logcat) have been fixed as well, which allows AudioFX to work. There are a bunch of other issues still that I'll need to fix before I can make a release.

Persisting Issues:
- No sensors are working (proximity, accelerometer, gyroscope, light etc) A lot of functionality such as adaptive brightness, auto rotate will not work until this is fixed.
- Sim detection
- Camera
- Fingerprint

What is currently working:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- Fingerprint

If I can get the sensors working, I'll release a beta/test build. Camera/Sim service is definitely going to be the hardest, and will be put up last simply because its better to get most of the basic functionality working before I can start working on the difficult stuff. It's worth mentioning again that I'm not a professional android developer, I'm just a recent college graduate that is doing this as a hobby. I'm still learning how all this works so I cannot guarantee anything! So don't hold me to it, but I will give it my best.

Will you be releasing the December security update for lineage os 14.1? Once again, excellent work on your progress on 15.1 and also your 14.1 is the smoothest I've ever used.

I will try to update this in the coming week considering this is stable while the other rom isn't. Right now I don't have enough storage for both Oreo and Nougat roms (The sources use up a lot of storage).

No mount sd card (model e6833)

 

[Mike3009]

SD card is working fine here e6853.

No mount sd card (model e6833)

It seems to be coming from a dual sim device. Can you please fetch the logs?

- Reboot device
- Connect usb cable with debug on and data transfer on.
- Open terminal:
- adb root
- adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
- adb shell logcat > logcat.txt (close/interrupt this after a couple of seconds)

EDIT: Try new version released below.

 

[Joel16]

New release - 2019-12-23

- Updated security patch to December.
- Fix some missing proprietary blobs. (camera, nfc and qti-iop)
- Add support for aanc tuning mixer controls.
- Updated outdated config files to the ones from 32.4.A.1.54.
- SD Card detection fix on dual sim devices by kv123.
@Allex1992 and @yeshuabainz or anyone else with a dual sim variant please test if the SD card detection works now. If it does I can apply the patch for lineage-15.1 and TWRP. If it doesn't work provide logs.
