Very good work. Is it possible to get an EvolutionX rom for the tb-j706f ?

 

[gqbigpaps]

Can we get 606f support as well?

I noticed that you recently merged latest caf on your kernel. Did you recover your device?
If you did, could you please tell me how your touch panel is detected as, in your deviceinfohw? (It would be more helpful if you upload your device info onto deviceinfohw, although I understand that it may be hard to in some regions)
I have a similar but different J606F, and the bad manufacturer lenovo didn't include touch panel driver in the kernel, lol.
Thanks

I've already recover my device. Here are the screenshot of Device info Hw, hope it is helpful for you.

Hi!
I've got an J606L, and I'm going crazy because of Lenovo didn't include the touchscreen driver in the opnesource package... I've tried to make TWRP/OrangeFox recovery, but the touchscreen don't work.
Can we somehow use this J607 kernel source in your opinion? In HWinfo almost everything is the same for me. Touchscreen, wifi, als/ps, acc.meter, gyro etc. Thanks for the dev/screenshot OP!

I don't think you can't directly use this J607 kernel source as the soc of J606(sm6115) is different from J607(sm7225), but I found that the kernel version of J606 in stock rom is same as J607, maybe the J607 kernel source code can serve as a reference for you to fix the J606 kernel source code. Also, If you want to fix touchscreen in TWRP/OrangeFox, you need to import touchscreen firmware from stock rom.

Hi!
Yes I've seen your kernel source. I think it will help me for the building, because there is many similarity. Even the filesystem is 1:1 same. I've got final exams in the next few weeks in the Uni too, but after that I will try to make it.

One question tho. How can you export the touchscreen files from the stock rom? I dont know how look your tablet's firmware, but the J606L has a very stupid firmware structure, with superpartitions, and I cannot get any useful stuff out from it, just the vbmeta, boot/recovery images.

Thank you, and sorry for the offtopic.

You can find firmware you need in /vendor/firmware. If it is hard for you to extract them from your tablet, you can simply extract them from 9008 Images. Partitions in super partition are simply named as super_*.img in 9008 package, they are raw images, you can directly mount them with ro option (They have share_blocks feature, you can't mount them in rw mode).

can i flash it on j706f?

The thing that's missing is the kernel module for the NT356(something)_HostDL or something in the kernel's {SRCROOT}/drivers/input/touchscreen/NT35something_HostDL.
The driver, IS available in a P11 LTe or something's kernel source available in lenovo downlooad page. (Sorry, my memory is very inaccurate, I was trying bunch of stuffs when I bought my P11 last year, it's a bit hazy now)
I made the driver located there, modded Makefile, got some kernel compile issue, and I somehow solved it, but the spi read only got value 00000000 and it didn't work. (You can get more info from postmarketOS-offtopic Matrix chatroom, chat history is logged in there, I got help from somebody a long time ago and there are conversations about this)
I got touchscreen to work with a prebuilt kernel (Lost the device tree) but that's it..
I hope we make something out of lenovo's junky kernel source codes.. The device has potentials!

Wonderful that you recovered it!
Thanks a lot for the screenshot. It seems like that you have the himax touchscreen variant. (I was trying to ask you to test the driver for nt365blahblah touch screen, if your variant was the one that had it)

hi sir, i flashed crdroid gsi on my j706f, but the settings doesnt look like your rom which show in two pane, can i edit build.prop to get it show as your rom settings? or what should i edit? thank you very much.

You can't enable it by simply editing build.prop. This feature related to an optional package called androidx.window.extensions. Ask GSI builder add this package or build it yourself.

 

[1and1get2]

great work!

overall pretty pleasant experience, and nice feature set. However, two problems

1. as mentioned, adding app icon to the homescreen doesn't work sometimes and it laggs out
2. this is the deal breaker for me, as the volume slider doesn't work. and video play back stuffers probably due to this.

---
update:
the second issue ragarding to the volume slider, it only breaks after playing emby, not sure if other app also break it but that's the only one i found so far. a reboot would fix it

 

[mdve123]

Please make Evolution X happen to TB-J606F also! it's with an older SOC, and we don't get A12 update. A lot of people have it, but not much support

 

[TEK023]

Does widevine security L1?

did you add that by yourself or that was included in evox source code?

you can flash google gsi (android 12), its works good.
