[UNOFFICIAL][ROM] LineageOS/Go 15.1 for Grand Prime [S920L/G530H/FZ/M/MU/P/T/T1/W]

vince2678 · Feb 7, 2018

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Instructions

If you are completely new to flashing custom ROMs and have no idea how to begin, start by downloading a TWRP image for your device from the links above and flash it using the ODIN tool (see below).

You cannot flash a custom ROM over stock recovery, so downloading a custom recovery is the first thing you will need to do.

Installation via recovery (TWRP/LineageOS Recovery)

* Download a recent .zip file from the links above for your device.

* Reboot into recovery mode [Press Power+Volume Up+Home].

* Wipe your data and cache partition (equivalent to doing a Factory Reset)
if you are coming from a stock ROM.

* Either: Plug in your phone into your computer, copy the zip file to a location on your Internal or External Storage on a device, click Install on TWRP on your phone and locate the zip file in the phone, or:

* Plug in your phone into your computer, and open Advanced->ADB Sideload on TWRP on your phone and swipe the slider to enter sideload mode.
Then open a command prompt/terminal on your computer in the folder you put the file by Shift-Clicking (Shift+Right Click) and selecting "Open Command Prompt/Terminal Here" (you will need to have adb installed) and type:

adb sideload name_of_zip.zip

to sideload the file. Replace name_of_zip.zip with the name of the file. If you are running Linux you may need to type adb kill-server and use sudo adb sideload if you get an `Insufficient Permissions` error.

* Download and flash GApps in the same way.

How to provide logcats

Code:
Under Windows:

Code:

[B]* Install samsung device drivers and then the adb utils from here:[/B] [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979[/url] [b]* Then enable developer mode, connect your phone to usb, and from [B]cmd[/B] paste this command:[/b] [I]adb logcat > %userprofile%/Desktop/logcat.txt[/I] [b]then try to reproduce the bug.[/b] [b]* The logcat file will be on your desktop.[/b]

Under Linux:

Code:

[b]* Install the adb utils from your distribution's package manager and execute the command:[/b] [I]adb logcat > ~/logcat.txt[/I] [b]then try to reproduce the bug.[/b] [b]* The logcat file will be on your home directory.[/b]

* Create a bug report at https://bugs.msm8916.com/ and paste the logcat there.

* If you cant connect the device through adb on windows because the drivers, connect the device over wifi, enable adb over network on the quick setting tiles, and type:

Code:

adb connect [ip address here]

And then the adb logcat command for windows.

Important

If this is your first time flashing O, you will need to install the latest unofficial TWRP image for your device from the links above before flashing a zip image, otherwise installation of a zip will invariably fail.

For SM-G530P users, use the gprimelte unofficial twrp instead of the gprimeltespr one.
For SM-S920L users, use the gprimeltetfnvzw official twrp instead of the unofficial gprimeltetfnvzw one.

Is it possible to flash your latest TWRP 3.1.1 builds without Odin?

I see the recovery.img in the tar file. What I am really asking is if it is safe to flash this over itself? (i.e. by replacing the image in an older TWRP flashable zip file)

I don't have ready access to a Windows machine.

BTW, great work! The folks in the other thread are still struggling just to get a bootable build. :good:

== EDIT ==

FWIW, I found a simpler way:

Downloaded TWRP-3.1.1-lineage-14.1_j20_20171110_gprimelte.tar from the TWRP link in the OP.
Extracted the recovery.img (renaming to TWRP-3.1.1-lineage-14.1_j20_20171110_gprimelte.img for recognition).
Flashed this using TWRP. Choose the Install Image button from the Install screen.

My bad, sorry for misspeaking.

I'm just glad that folks are making progress with oreo on this device!

And I just want to be ready to flash when the ROM is ready. :silly:

Zippy Dufus · Nov 19, 2017 at 8:45 PM

Good progress

Well, just for fun, I managed to build a (11/19) bootable ROM.

However, once booted the screen was black except for the bluetooth, network strength, and battery icons in the top right corner.

Futzing with the buttons and touching the screen, I got a panel "Setup Wizard isn't responding" and choosing either "Close app" or "Wait" continued with the black screen.

Interestingly, a little "LTE" text item is displaying over the network strength icon. My build includes the commit which uses the A3 RIL libraries. I'm not sure if this is relevant to progress in that direction.

Also, it should be noted that I probably haven't done everything needed to build this ROM properly. I did discover the repopicks.sh script which was needed to make the build complete but I suspect that I am missing some other patching.

Regardless, a great start!!

Thanks @vince2678 and all the other MSM8916 contributors.

You installed GApps, that's why setup wizard is crashing.

Yes, I installed gapps and didn't think to not to do this for initial testing. Duh!

I'll try building/installing again in a week.

Thanks, and keep up the excellent work. My current build of your 14.1 ROM is simply awesome!!

I built and flashed a 11/20 ROM, this time without flashing GApps, because I was excited to see that the FM radio was enabled again.

Alas, there was only static on my G530W. I still would like to know if the hardware has been definitely crippled on this variant or perhaps mixing/matching the proprietary firmware from other variants might enable FM.

Otherwise:

WIFI is working for me.
I don't even see a camera app in apps panel. It is listed in Settings->Apps.
The phone can make and receive phone calls but has no audio. This is the RIL issue?
Music payback with the default Music app is working for me.
NFC (Near Field Communication - is this bluetooth?) - sending a file using bluetooth didn't work from my computer although it could see the phone. "Connection refused" was the error message.

Other observations:

The $WITH_SU flag doesn't work with Lineage so I didn't have root baked-in. This is a disappointment.
ADB thru a cable doesn't work but it does for my NookHD+ so it isn't my desktop. Error below.
ADB over the network does work.
Mobile network is stuck in "Connecting" but this is glitchy on 14.1 because it is stuck too after a recent flash. Wait!? A reboot fixed this! Working now.
Nice and smooth responsiveness.

So progress is being made!

In-call audio and adb should be working. If not, you're probably missing a few repopicks. See http://msm8916.com/~vincent/repopicks.sh

As for FM radio, it may or may not be working. I haven't really done any extensive tests on that.

keon1 · Nov 21, 2017 at 2:18 AM

Good to see this progress

I have forgotten what it is called, but the red lines around the screen, does that happen to be gone? or Still existing in builds?

I can confirm that making/receiving calls works in a 11/21 build. My older copy of your repopicks.sh was indeed missing a couple cherry picks. That won't happen again (see snippet from my build script below).

Also, Lineage 15 has removed support for then WITH_SU flag so I did an inline ad-hoc patch to add su on to the end of the products list. The su binary was definitely build and included in the zip file but never actually got installed anywhere. I also put the L15 binary in the L14.1 su addon zip and flashed that. This didn't work either. Bummer! Still investigating.

I also trying to do an end-run around the gapps issue by installing after the initial install and boot and including a gapp-config.txt file to disable the installation of the setup wizard. No luck with that either. The adding of a new google account hung and I was getting closing of the google services as well.

Gapps/Playstore

Is Gapps/PlayStore working on this yet?

Hacking at this, I've managed to either side-load or restore my must-have apps using Titanium backup (which I side-loaded). Interestingly, some apps could not be restored by Titanium - it froze on the progress panel.

I also installed open_gapps_arm-8.0-pico-20171119 after the initial boot up and it wouldn't get through the setup dialogue. This is the same problem after flashing Gapps after the initial ROM flash. So I used Titanium to restore the Google services data and got to the very last step of not being able to connect the the Google server and "Try again later". But it certainly did recognise my account.

If this and the camera get fixed, this ROM would be awesome!

Any ideas?

== EDIT

==

I downloaded and installed the latest version of gapps (2017/12/02 versus 2017/11/19) and all is fine now!

I don't know if it was the newer version of gapps which resolved the problem(s) or if it was my hacking described above whereby I installed without wiping the dalvik cache and re-installation let me complete the Google registration process.

Regardless, I'm ecstatic now. This is my new daily driver!

Were you able to set up your Google Account? If so, how? I too installed Gapps and am now stuck with a frozen "checking info" screen...

I did A LOT of futzing around to get it installed and working. However, I am not exactly sure what I did to actually accomplish this. But, it is working great now!

I suggest this:

Use the latest Open Gapps (I used pico 12/03) This might be what did the trick for me, not sure.
Install Gapps after the initial flash and first bootup of the ROM. Attempt to add your Google account from Settings->Users & Accounts If this works then you are done!
Add the following text file in the same directory on your phone as the Gapps zip and reflash both the ROM and Gapps. gapps-config.txt See contents below.
See if you can add your google account again from Settings->Users & Accounts. If so, then done!
Side load Titanium Backup APK from ADB and go to Restore all apps and system data and choose Run then Prefer snapshot. Then choose DESELECT ALL
Choose to restore Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Google Play Store but restore the Data only
Go to Settings->Users & Accounts and see if you can set up your account.
Steps 5 thru 7 are sketchy!. Hope you have success!

gapps-config.txt

Code:

Exclude
SetupWizard

Is the team planning to release an Android Go version of Lineage OS Oreo? And to continue supporting G530P (gprimeltespr)?

Maybe, and no. I don't have the device and a lot changed in O so I don't plan to make any blind builds, or support them if I do.

[UNOFFICIAL][ROM] LineageOS/Go 15.1 for Grand Prime [S920L/G530H/FZ/M/MU/P/T/T1/W]
