[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][Oreo 8.1] CypherOS 6.0.0 [h901] 5/6/2018

[johngalt1]

This has reached a point that those who don't depend BT calling may be able to use it as a daily driver. Just be sure to backup first!

The flashing on first boot during setup may cause issues for those with epilepsy. This is due to how to disable the second screen.

Working:

• Camera! https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.7Beta2.apk is recommended with Nexus 6 HDR config in advanced settings.
• Bluetooth (skips with wifi, and doesn't work in call)
• NFC
• Wifi -- two users have reported issues on their devices, while it works for others.
• GPS
• Sensors
• Sound
• Calls
• Fingerprint
• Data
• WiFi tethering
• Second screen disable hack

Not working and issues:

• Screen glitches on first boot. Reboot and will be good after (part of hack to disable 2nd screen)
• Tap to wake
• Flashlight tile: install flashlight tile for kenzo in play store with root to workaround.
• Slight animation glitch when switching activities due to second screen hack.
• BT issues above, and doesn't work in call.
• If you use camera immediately after turning on, it may not work. You must wait about a minute after powering for it to work (it will always work after).
• Probably more.

TODO

• BT fixes
• Tap to wake
• flashlight tile
• get a proper 2nd screen fix like v20 working without additional issues. v20 dtsi hack doesn't work for us due to dual panel depending on partial update (most likely).
  

Repos (kernel is lineage-15.1 branch):
Kernel
v10-common
h901

blobs

Changes from AOSCP

• Using Ruthless launcher instead of Luna
• Two reverts to support substratum themes in addition to CypherOS' color manager.

Use opengapps for gapps, magisk for superuser (may have issues with modules).

Bugs with workarounds:

Wifi doesn't connect and MAC address is all zeroes (only some users):
This is a misc partition that has MAC address hardcoded to a randomly generated address. This should work permanently on any device with the issue so long as two aren't on the same network. If anyone would like instructions on how to modify with a new MAC address, let me know.

Instructions:
Place on /sdcard
Reboot to recovery (for advanced reboot in CypherOS hold reboot button for full menu)
From twrp terminal or adb shell, run: dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
Reboot and enjoy fixed wifi

No charging indicator (but still charges):
Boot device plugged into power or USB and the indicator will work the entire power cycle. Working on a fix but not as trivial as I'd hoped.

Bootloop bug:
I recently got hit by the infinite bootloop bug, with the only workaround of disabling the big cluster. Here's a modified TWRP that only uses the little cluster (used Eliminator74's image):

And here's a little cluster only boot image from the titan kernel (our CAF kernel has msm_thermal issues with booting with disabled big cores, needs modifications):

Just uploaded a new build with the second screen backlight bleed fixed (from v20 for liblights).

Recently bluetooth was broken, and I need to debug further. In addition, the future builds (not yet posted) will be using the "lineage-15.1" branch of the kernel. I had based the kernel for this rom off the g4 cypheros kernel, but that Titan kernel is very buggy and has far worse performance (jittery mess compared to los 14.1, realized it's kernel not rom). The kernel also had very bad data corruption issues (also documented on g4).

Man thanks for working on our near forgotten devices. I cannot test this much ATM until things get a tad more stable, but you have my attention!

 

[johngalt1]

Just uploaded a new build. This is using the lineage-15 kernel branch on my github, which has CAF merged in and is buttery smooth compared to the Titan kernel .

BT is now back to the g4 state at least (fixed for music, still has some issues), and incall mic is now working correctly (updated mixer_paths.xml).

For me this is a daily driver now, but I also don't need fingerprint, nfc, or some other functionality that is no doubt broken (not sure yet due to minimal testing). Enjoy!

PS: due to all lg v10 now being unlockable, I'll be doing some test builds for the other variants in the next few days..

Downloaded the rom on my H901 and flashed it. It seems to work okay, there were some screen issues during the initial setup. The rom seems nice but with some issues (like the ones mentioned above - missing second screen, etc). The screen is shifted down so I can barely see the navigation bar. If ya need some testing of some options, settings, etc - let me know.

Thank you! It looks like I messed up the init script in that build that's supposed to adjust the screen accordingly. Using adb, run the following (it's only needed once):
adb shell wm size 1440x2560

Thanks!. the screen now fits. However, I did seem to find another issue. Not sure why, but when I try to tap on the navbar buttons, only the upper half of that area works and the bottom half doesn't. Same thing happens with the statusbar. I think changing the screen size (or whatever else it could be) is making it so that the touch area is also reduced. I tried restarting it, but it still does it. Still usable but then that means i have to pay attention when I tap on the home button.

Thank you for bringing this up. I had forgotten and got used to it early on. I'll fix this today.

 

[johngalt1]

Just uploaded a new build. Changes:

• Tweaked touch offset
• Synced CypherOS to 6.0.0 (fixes navbar on first boot and removes some features)
• Fixed init script to set display res (part of the second screen disable hack)
• Updated Ruthless Launcher

Will give this a try with my V10 since I don't use it as a daily driver, can play around with it. Shame they couldn't get the 2nd running properly but no biggie. Also what firmware is recommended for this? Here is a pic of the current software/firmware it has

Edit: sorry about the pic, shows up portrait in my gallery but landscape on here

Update: after wiping in TWRP (v 3.0.2-0), install gave me an error 7

"E3004: This package is for device: pplus, v10,h901; this device is. "

Second screen is in the works for lineage on the v20, which we'll be able to use when it's ready ?.

Try twrp 3.2.1 https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/twrp-3-2-1-h901-t3765971

 

[amoot329]

Much thanks. Will give it a try and see.

Update: bingo, that did the trick ?

Probably sticking with stock rom on my v20. I rely on the Google certification for Netflix and my banking. Only have it rooted with magisk and no modules downloaded, passes safety net.

As previous poster mentioned, the navbar buttons only register the top half, bottom half has no reaction. During setup, popped up with wrong vendor image. I ignored the message, continued with setup. Lots of flashing graphical glitches and static screen. Using ruthless launcher, will test some more out

The navbar button one is weird and not as trivial as I'd hoped (but an issue with the 2nd screen hack). Regarding the glitches they shouldn't appear after the first reboot (in issues in OP).

May be all related to the whole screen aspect, when I try to swipe down the notifications bar, have to start the swipe gesture almost halfway down the status bar. With stock rom, youre usually able to start your swipe down gesture from the 2nd screen area.

It is. The touchscreen is disabled in the second screen portion of the display. The v20 style disable hack doesn't work for our panels, but they also disable the touchscreen in the second screen.

For that functionality, the best hope we have is the work into lineage second screen work being done for v20 which we'll be able to use.

Wow, this is a giant step for us H901 users!
Going to DL and test.
Am I able to revert back to my current ROM after testing this?

Yes, be sure to fully backup in TWRP prior to flashing, and then you'll be able to restore if the current issues are too great for you. You'll even be able to backup this ROM after flashing and setting up to switch between them as v10 issues are tackled.

On another note, I think I may have finally found the issue with the touchscreen offset (bottom half of navbar not working) I'll be testing today.

 

[johngalt1]

New build uploaded. Changes:

- Fixed touchscreen alignment. Bottom of navbar now works.
- Synced with upstream CypherOS
- Testing navbar theme settings from gerrit.
