IMPORTANT INFORMATION


Hi all,

This ROM is in a very early development stage, so you can expect a lot of things broken.
Please don't expect to use this ROM as a daily driver.

What is working:

• Boots
• Audio (playback && recording)
• Bluetooth
• Graphics
• Camera (photos only)
• Sensors
• RIL
• GPS
• Wifi
• USB
• Video playback (HW/SW)

What is not working:

• Video recording
• maybe yet something

Download:

• FTP server

Older releases:

• FTP server

* Note: an installation since build #3 require you to use sdcard repartition layout, as the ROM is too huge to fit on non-reparted /system partition.
After a clean installation, 702M of space is occupied on /system partition.
Also note that only clean installation is possible if you are upgrading from previous builds.
For the repartition refer to CWM ReParted topic.



Installation order:

* Now all the telephony code is built from android 8.0 sources.
Known issues are:

• the signal strength shown in the statusbar seems to be incorrect
• currently IMEI is not showed, e.g. by using *#06# command
• maybe some more

FULL credit goes to @rINanDO, @AdrianDC, @millosr and @mickybart for their amazing work!

11.12.2017 (2) - build #5

• Fixed incall audio

A HUGE thanks to @isaak for pointing to incall audio fix!
Credits for fix goes to @Unjustified Dev .

11.12.2017 - build #4

• Fixed SMS receive
• Fixed a video playback with HW / HW+ codecs

6.11.2017 - build #3

• Dex-preoptimized build for the better performance*
• SELinux: disabled
• fixed liblights (thanks @SergeyL)
• fixed Sensors
• Telephony: squash-reset to 7.1.2 **

* Note: an installation now will require you to use sdcard repartition layout, as the ROM is too huge to fit on non-reparted /system partition.
After a clean installation, 702M of space is occupied on /system partition.
Also note that only clean installation is possible if you are upgrading from previous builds.

** this fixed RIL, but I would consider this rather as a huge hack, it definitely will need to be revised in the future.
All of the telephony code currently is built from 7.1.2 sources, so consider this build still as a heavily experimental.
I haven't tested RIL that much, all I can say so far is that the SIM is being detected, the signal strength is showed and USSD commands works. Everything else wasn't yet tested.

5.10.2017 - build #2

• fixed USB
• fixed WiFi (credits to @rINanDO)
• fixed camera (photos only)
• RIL fixes (works partly*)

* receiving SMS and incoming calls seems to be working, however anything else (including answering an incoming call) still doesn't work.

24.09.2017 - build #1

• initial release

Wow! I cannot believe! Your ROM is so amazing!
Although it is not stable now, but in the future, i hope this ROM will can run Gapps and have lots of features that many another ROM cannot do!
Thanks for your new ROM, new invention!

 

[Muhammed Suhail]

That was fast didn't expect Oreo for our device

 

[Muhammed Suhail]

When I try to install the ROM recovery simply restarts without flashing it any help?
Was on sergeyl's cm 14.1

For flashing use TWRP recovery from chrono kernel builds.

Where is the option for root?
Developer options is not available
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if it works in this rom:
Go to Settings, click on "About phone" and then tap seven times (it may vary) on the "Build number".

I did but didn't work
Used search that too didn't work

I did but didn't work
Used search that too didn't work

but it did work on my phone, I remember it's 7 times

But I have another problem, when I want to go back to Los 14.1, I stuck in TWRP logo and I can't get in. Is there any solution to flash back instead of use Odin to flash stock 2.3.6?

 

[ChronoMonochrome]

Where is the option for root?

There is no root included in this build. You can install a third-party root, but I didn't look into that deeply - there are much of other stuff work on. As stated in OP, this build is a way early, mainly purposed for developers and those who want to help with this project.

Will the S3 mini get this ROM too? I mean, they have the same hardware. Great work!

 

[ChronoMonochrome]

Will the S3 mini get this ROM too? I mean, they have the same hardware. Great work!

Despite of having the same (almost) hardware there are difficulties with testing builds on a device you don't own. If anyone on s3 mini forum is interested to work on Oreo bringup, the sources are always available on my github.

@ChronoMonochrome Good progress here!
Btw, could you tell me how you made RIL work?
Here it seemed to be crashed at rild ( https://pastebin.com/NMSbwrET if you need full log )

RILClient: Connect_RILD: Connecting failed. Connection refused(111)
10-26 16:53:27.189   558   641 E RILJ    : Couldn't find 'rild' socket after 8 times, continuing to retry silently [SUB0]

Nothing special here.
Check these patches out: https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/st...branch:lineage-15.0+topic:samsung-libril-oreo

Just for a clarification, I wasn't touching java part of RIL at all - until I find a better idea about that. So RIL is not fully-functional yet.
