Yes you can safely dirty flash!

@mandayugana I disassembled my gemini too some months ago when i decided to work again on it, I replaced MoBo and battery, and I had a similar issue with camera, mine was completely not recognized by system, I simply removed the protection plate and pressed again the camera connector, then camera started to work as it should, but before try to do this wait some report of other users, I never had a reboot taking photos with last build, but it's not an extensive test, and it' not enough, if you experience again reboots using the camera please report here, but wait some days before disassembly the phone. As for the power button when I disassembled mine I realized that there was really a lot of dust and dirt in the interlocking area of the back cover. The power button is not covered by the protective plate, during the opening operation if a part of the dirty ended up between the power button and the motherboard it is possible that the button gets blocked or does not work properly. I think the best thing is to remove the back cover and take a look in this point:
Good luck!
Good luck!
1) in internet calls the caller having echo from me..tried with different person and different social media like messenger/whatsapp... even tried group call but same they all hearing echo whenever i join them( used with and without earphone but same result) not sure what causing it@mrinfinity0007 please let me know if the new build fixes the issues you encountered, unfortunately at certain point thermal throttling is unavoidable with a legacy device like our Gemini, but with latest changes phone is much more smoother, even when starts to getting hot
EDIT: I've used USB tether for ROM upload, so i can confirm that it's working fine
2) sometimes screen didn't turned off automatically i noticed in previous build also but that time i thought i set screen timeout 30min because i used it sometimes... but this time i checked properly..i had 30 sec screen off timout but it wont turn off automatically..( not happening everytime but sometimes i already noticed 3-4 times in this build)
3) consuming more power and heating issue slightly more but its faster than before i guess
i get it....its a lagacy devices that much we can sacrifice
4) checked again usb tethering not working..,,, i have a secondary phone ,,,i used its as usb tethering its working but not working in my gemini donno whats the issue
Note: i used clean flash this rom

1 - Was it working fine on previous build?

2 - It's a know bug in Android 13 fixed in QPR3, if PE devs rebase their work over QPR3 sources we will have the fix merged in next public release
3 - My primary goal was to catch the reboot bug we had in previous 4.4 ROMs keeping all the work xNombre made for Gemini, in particular way on kernel, now we have a solid base with good performance and we can tune things a bit.
Only drawback of this kernel compared to infinity kernel is compression/decompression speed, I've already tried to port the updates from 4.19 kernel and i ended up with the exact same sources of infinity kernel (and the reboot bug), I've also tried to update LZ4 to 1.8.3 (and I'm 100% sure it's working on 4.19 kernels because it's used by erofs) and things get worse (same reboot without logs, but every few hours, sometimes minutes).4 - That' s really weird. The device is recognized and there' s no network or is not recognized at all?
tried some call test again... no echo this time..very strange1 - Was it working fine on previous build? I've tried a test call with Skype and it's working without echo for me, BTW there are some issues with audio/ record concurrency, there's still some work to do on audio side

and about usb tethering its recognizing but no internet....( anyway i don't use that very much so not that kinda problem for me)
thanks for ur amazing work and keep gemini alive...

4I decided to share my latest internal build, there are a lot of changes, and now performance are similar to my old Android 12 ROM. IMPORTANT: if you flash this update do not roll back to a previous version, due to the huge changes a clean flash is required if you want to roll back. There are some small things to fix and improve but it's stable and fast

@暗夜很无语 that's probably a PE bug, does it happen on other ROMs or in my old PE 12.1?
EDIT:
@mrinfinity0007 for the vibration icon not appearing : Settings --> Sound and vibration --> take a look at the last option

@mrinfinity0007 sounds more like an APN configuration issue, did you check your APN settings?1
That's not a web page , it's the default page used by Captive Portal when you connect to a network, if Captive Portal receive a SUCCESS response then Android lets you use the networks, otherwise the exclamation mark will appear and internet doesn't work. That links are the default used by AOSP and probably even Google use them on their Pixel, that's the reason why I don't understand what's happening, there should be a lot of reports for this bug. I've checked my local sources and that overlay is applied when you insert a Chinese SIM card in your phone, no matter what carrier you have, it's used for MCC 460, which is China country code. Unless you are using the phone without a SIM card that links are used and should be working fine
NOTE: i haven't reviewed all the code but without a SIM card inserted there's the possibility that Android falls back to the stock Captive Portal pages, probably blacklisted in China. If that is the case, it's how Android works, if you consider it a bug then should be addressed to AOSP
Even disabling EIS ANDROID_CONTROL_VIDEO_STABILIZATION_MODE_ON it's still declared and may cause issues, media profiles were also outdated and partially not working, I've uploaded my last internal build, it's in RC folder, here's the direct download link, please try with this and let me know if still reboots, I've picked i think 50 photos in a couple of hours without a reboot or any other issues. The power button issue surprises me, as no one reported that problem with none of my builds (strange thing is that long press does not reset the device, should work everytime, no matter what the phone is doing), and I'm using it as primary device at the moment, hopefully this build fixes the bug for you too!
NOTE: i will compile the monthly update with the same kernel/dt sources, on kernel side i've not decided yet for a couple of commits (still testing tracing removal, but without IORap should not be needed by anything else in Android), but the merge work is over, this is the definitive kernel on my ROM, I've merged 99% of infinity kernel except some commits that triggers CLANG warns and LZ4 backport from 4.19 kernel (the root cause of the reboot of all 4.4 ROMs in these years), it's rock solid for me and performance now are probably better than my old PE 12.1 ROM
@mrinfinity0007 please let me know if the new build fixes the issues you encountered, unfortunately at certain point thermal throttling is unavoidable with a legacy device like our Gemini, but with latest changes phone is much more smoother, even when starts to getting hot
EDIT: I've used USB tether for ROM upload, so i can confirm that it's working fine1
Yes you can safely dirty flash!
Ps: I'm at work now and can't answer, later i will post another message for the power button, hopefully it's not broken -

NOTE: i highly encourage everyone to update the recovery too, the new version fixes the bug that can cause the boot to fail. If you already updated the recovery when i released the EAS preview then no need to flash again.
@mandayugana : thanks for your suggestion, SGCAM V35 works pretty fine, only thing that should be tuned is the Noise Modeler, the app completely lacks a specific conf for our HW and we should tweak manually the configuration, but the result is really good! Thanks
@暗夜很无语 I can consider f2fs, but i haven't found a stable and working implementation for 4.4 kernels, are there legacy devices that really use it without crashes and reboots? Regarding the crypto removal that's not possible, even if FBE in legacy devices is a pain. BTW i'm merging all the improvements from infinity kernel, but will require time4I decided to share my latest internal build, there are a lot of changes, and now performance are similar to my old Android 12 ROM.
