Frequently Asked Questions and Other notes:

Can I upgrade / dirty-flash from Lollipop to Marshmallow?
- You cannot. It must be a clean install.

Can I dirty flash over a previous Marshmallow build?
- Yes.

I thought you said Marshmallow wouldn't work.
- The problem with ART is not solved. The Optimizing compiler backend is producing binaries that crash on the Tegra 2. The Optimizing backend is the new default dex2oat compiler in Marshmallow. The Quick compiler is default backend in Lollipop. It is still in the Marshmallow source so this ROM is using the Quick compiler backend.

SELinux enforcing mode
- The default SELinux mode is permissive mode. The Set_SELinux_enforcing.zip will not work with Marshmallow. That script was setting a system property to toggle SELinux early on in boot. Google has removed the use of this system prop so that method won't work anymore.
- For now you can find some app on F-Droid to set the SELinux mode after boot. It's not ideal but it will do until some better solution arises.

Doze
- This device does not meet the hardware requirement to support Doze.

Themes
- Marshmallow supports RRO (Layers) themes. I will not add CM-12 themes, CM-13 themes, or any other theme engine.

HD video playback issues and Camera issues.
- The video and camera stack are proprietary NVidia software. This means there is no chance of fixing bugs within.

Browser crash when downloading files
- Settings > Apps > Browser > Permissions > Enable Storage permission

Google App force close
- Install GApps Pico.
- Google App now uses the NEON instruction set which the CPU on this device does not support. The pico package does not include the parts of GApps which use the NEON instruction set.

Problem reporting steps:

Got an error? Is something not working for you?

I cannot see what your problem is from here. Save and upload the system logs from your device so that I can see what happening on your device.

How to save system logs:

1. Root the device by installing SuperSU.
2. Install SysLog.
3. Reboot the system.
4. Reproduce the problem.
5. Open Syslog app and save the Kernel Log and Main Log.
6. Send me the log files stored in /sdcard/Syslog.
   Share the files on Dropbox or another similar site.
   Then PM me a link to the files. Please describe exactly what the issue is.

 

[decatf]

Some comments to start off.

The ICS audio HAL is not working right in Marshmallow and I think I'd rather try another run at getting the rest of the stuff in the open souce HAL working rather than keep trying to find hacks to keep the old blob alive. Recall that only voice calls and dock audio are not working with the open source audio HAL.
- Voice calls are just passing off audio to the Samsung cellular blobs so I don't think it's that much of a stretch to get working. But this will have to wait until cellular stuff is working in the first place.
- I found some patch for Samsung dock audio. It looks like it might apply to this device as well seeing as it seems to have a similar dock implementation. The patch is in the ROM already so that needs testing.

Cellular probably won't work for at least the first few builds. Other devices on M with a similar cellular radio needed a few new patches to get it working on M. I have put in the patches from L but we will have to trial and error what is needed for M based on other devices as a reference.

Thank you!

 

[sflesch]

I know it's early on, but do you have any expectations as to how well it will run compared to previous Android version?

I appreciate all you've done, but mine never ran that great on the newest roms. It is passable and I appreciate it though.

thank you very much for betting on this tablet , and download and I'll try ... I'm sure you will be able to tune it as we did with lp...

The OS appears to perform the same as Lollipop. It's a four year old device. There is nothing that will make it run as well as a modern Android device. You could try setting animation times to zero and set ro.config.low_ram=true.

For Marshmallow I have added L2 cache improvements in the kernel that improves RAM speed benchmarks. That's around 1k score in Antutu.

 

[sflesch]

I understand that. And again I appreciate it. I was just curious what the performance level was. I expected at best it might be similar, but more likely it would, as is typical, use more resources.

I never expected much from my Tab. Finding your ROM was an unexpected surprise. I will try those tweaks. From all of the posts I read, I got the impression that many other tablets ran better than mine. I know fully well that each tablet is different and I don't blame you or the ROM, just my tablet.

Thank you for keeping this Mastodont alive. I will be doing the switch soon enough... I have been following and installing your Lollipop releases for quite a while now and appreciate very much all the time and effort you have put into these projects...

Definitely wasn't expecting this tbh. You're doing a damn great job at keeping this tab alive decatf. Thank you for that.

 

[mistersixt]

Mmmh, I just did the following steps (coming from your version of 5.1.1) :

1) Installed TWRP-2710 from previously installed TWRP-2610
2) Rebooted into 2710 Recovery
3) Full Wipe
4) Install Android 6.0 ROM
5) Install OpenGapps (nano)
6) Install SuperSU 2.52
7) Reboot

Now the P4 is stuck at the Samsung boot logo, so it does not boot up.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

Regards, mistersixt.

Me too, ive installed twrp 2.8.7.0. Full wipe, install android 6 rom (P4) and use openGapps (pico), install superSU beta 2.52.
My P4 is stuck at samsung boot logo

 

[daneal2u]

Anyone able to install the rom successfully?

Anyways thanks decatf for all u have done for our device!

 

[spamam1]

maybe don't use OpenGapps Pico?

on different devices, had issues with OpenGapps Pico versions;
especially on 5.1 and 6.0, pico may be -too- light?

I've had success with slim gapps zero on different devices;
size is similar to OpenGapps nano.

- maybe try WITHOUT any gapps?
- assuming it works, try Open nano, or slim zero?

i'll try myself and report later if I can

cheers

I haven't read -too- thoroughly,
but in addition to the 'regular' supersu beta (currently 2.52),
chainfire has a separate "WIP" thread where, at least check,
2.61.. for Marshmallow+.. systemless?.. discussion is still in the 2.52 / beta thread

a) link to the WIP thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344



b) that said, maybe for our system , 2.52 may be more appropriate?
can anyone compare?


c) hmm.. more reading.. may want to stick with 2.52 for now,
until 2.62 is ready (currently 2.61, but with planned features/fixes for 2.62)

cheer

Same thing, just did another full wipe and installed the p4 ROM only (no gapps, no supersu), and it is still stuck at the Samsung boot logo.

It works on my p4wifi. Somebody with an actual p4 needs to try booting it then reboot directly into TWRP and grab the last_kmsg.

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

Or

Go to Advanced > File Manager > Go to /proc/ > Tap last_kmsg > Copy File to /sdcard/

P4: wrong updater binary?

hi,

on TWRP 2.8.7.0.. try to install on P4,
but getting error:

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Android/aosp-6.0-p4-20151207.zip'

maybe the binary is from p4wifi?
anyone on P4 having issues?

I checked the MD5, and it matches.

[decatf]

It might just be some kernel cmdline options I missed. The reason it boots on my p4wifi is because I'm testing it on multirom which passes off some cmdline options from the host ROM so the problem was not apparent due to that.

Just install the ROM then the kernel. And the rest of the stuff as usual.
