Porting IHO to other carriers? Check in here.

This is meant to be a dev thread, not an end-user thread. Please keep this on-topic. End-user support and VM670 development are off-topic.
For the more user and Optimus V (VM670) oriented thread please check in here:

If you are working on porting the phone to the VS660, LW690, US670, or MS690 with the eventual goal of inclusion in the IHO repository please check in here.

I'm trying port this for the ms690. I'll admit it's a bit over my head but I have a rooted and flashed M and a rooted but stock M at my disposal and a working android development environment.
My rom is compiling now after fixing the typo in the mms_config.xml. I would like to help get the proper changes in the IHO repo if I get this working, but I have absolutely no idea how all that works.
I'll update here if I get my rom compiled and let ya know how it runs. Anyone know how long it should take to completely compile a rom error free? I'm running 2 dual core xeons at 2ghz... This is a long compile for a >100MB file, heh.

Has anyone successfully ported using Ubuntu 11.xx on a 32 bit, vmware setup? I got it to work with wubi, but that messed up my windows. Can you run Ubuntu off of a thumb drive but use your hard drive for storage?

1. I thought you couldn't successfully compile on 32 bit since 2.2
2. Setting up a development environment in vm? or on a flash drive? Do you really deserve that kind of punishment?
I guess you could build on a persistent usb but but it sounds scary to me. I don't know if you could properly mount a drive in live usb, seems like you would need your build folder on a hdd or a 32gig flash.
Backup your stuff and throw on an ext partition. Your building will be easier in a native environment and a clean windows install never hurts.

My compile is stopped. I've been poking around and I don't think I'm gonna figure this out like all the other BS I've figured out.
GRRR this is ****ing stupid, tried to post my error but the forum thinks that xxx.xml is a web address and wont let me post cuz I don't have enough posts. If anyone can help me shoot me a PM I'm not gonna spam the forums to get my posts to post a ****ing error log. If I ever met a spammer I would kick him in the nuts for all the bull**** I have to deal with because of the crap...

I was thinking about downgrading Ubuntu and trying it, I'm on Ubuntu 11.xx now. I would like to keep the vmware setup, I like just minimizing vmware to go back and forth to windows. Plus everything's transferable between the 2 os'

I had problems setting up a good build environment with 11.04, but 10.10 64 bit with VMware works great for me on Windows 7 64 bit.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that if anyone want to try my Optiums Cricket version they can grab it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vcfc5jtwncsxkzg
I don't own a OC, I built it for a friend. He tells me that GPS, BT, and MMS are not working.

So I got my very own zip file, backed, wiped flashed, my phone told me It was "bad" so I went and restored my backup it said bad md5, I thaught no big deal, I keep a couple backups handy, all 3 of them said bad md5. I restored them before just fine, I don't know what's going on, I should just give up, but I'm stupid and enjoy a challenge. I guess I will start completely fresh again. "Goin back to compile"

It'll probably take a couple of hours to compile. The easiest way to get everything included is to file a pull request on Github. Keep in mind I'm not going to accept any applications (so that rules out the real popular MMS patches floating around for the C and M). Most of the stuff for the M is already in the tree, I believe...
Some of the other stuff like cnd probably won't get fixed /just/ yet, but I'll rename the keymap file. What else did you have to change?

Someone mentioned that IHO wasn't computing checksums properly in the general dev thread. Try using another recovery and/or making sure your build box isn't on its way out?
Anyhow I'm using a 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.3 VM to build everything and it works just fine for me (definitely need to throw some more RAM at the machine tho).

I had to fix a typo on a tag in the mms_config.xml, I think using the cnd from the V was a no no, so i commented out the cnd in the build. There was an extra space in a string in an xml file I can't remember that needed removed. Other than that I just put in the ko files and the gps libs and it was building fine.
I fixed the last error I had which was about 2.5 hours into the build and started the compile over... Then my workstation shut down. It refuses to even post. Tried a new video card to no avail. Dual xeon running rambus ram, LOL. Don't have any parts laying around for it other than drives and video cards.
My port is kind of stalled at the moment, heh.

Just thinking out loud:
Has anyone done a build for the MS690(Metro version)?
Is the "LG Optimus One, P500, > Optimus V Android Development" thread for all Optimus phones? Or just the V?

I was working on the ms690 b4 my linux box died. There are a couple of us working on it.

Do you have a CWM recovery?
What wasn't working on your ROM?
My first attempt gave me this: make: *** [out/target/common/obj/APPS/Mms_intermediates/src/R.stamp] Error 1

That was the last error I was working with actually. Don't know if I had it fixed.
The op m can't use CWM recovery. We have 2 custom ones, joneidys recovery and getitnowmarketing recovery.

The overlay/MS690/packages/apps/Mms/res/xml/mms_config.xml has a bad string.
Profile<string/> needs to be changed to Profile</string>
I posted a comment on your git.
I compile my 0.1 kernel and trying an other MS690 build.

Blarf, can you look at these two pastebin to see if you see anything wrong.
There are problems with my LW690 builds, wifi produces an error and camera is broken.
wifi - http://pastebin.com/hMmhH9Bk
camera - http://pastebin.com/ukSGQaWz
Bluetooth wasn't working and when I used the MS BT file it worked, do you think by using the MS BT in the LW is giving me the wifi problem?
Thanks for the help,
Bob

[Q] Tried to install ROM, Galaxy Nexus won't boot at all

I tried to install a ROM that must have not downloaded properly now my Nexus does not boot at all. It doesn't even go to the Google screen, it's just plainly black. The worst part is that it happened last week and I thought the phone had just broken so I got a hardware swap at Best Buy but now I realize it must have been the ROM. I don't want to go back to Best Buy this quickly (not even 24 hours later...) Does anyone know how I might fix it?

I installed a kernel too, both from CWM. Maybe it was the kernel. and no, I couldn't get to recovery but I managed to fix it. I can't post links because I'm a new user but it involved installing omap drivers and running a batch file of some sort that made it bootable. Even though the screen was totally black I guess the computer could still detect it with some work.

Awesome!

Congrats! That's gotta feel good to resurrect a "dead" phone!
I've tried to use the OMAP flash to fix mine, but I still can't get into Odin mode (even tho the drivers and bat file seem to install successfully). If you have any tips, then please let me know.

[Bootanimation] OpTimuS DE

OpTimuS DE Bootanimation!!!
WARNING
This is a disclaimer: While this has been tested I am not responsible for ANY damage done to your device. I take no responsibility for bootloops, soft bricks, hard bricks, living brick monsters, your phone proving an omnipotent being fallible(thus negating all existence), your great aunt smoking bath salts, flying monkeys, hot pockets, obamacare, dingleberries, carnivorous dingleberries or Sundays. Use at your own risk!!
Secondary disclaimer: If you have carnivorous dingleberries then you have bigger problems to worry about - but for any phone related questions feel free to message me on here either privately or in the thread.
Here is a bootanimation for the stock ZVC optimized rom OpTimuS DE(If you have an lgog and haven't tried it, you are missing out - just click the name!). The original Optimus Prime™ Flash animation used in this bootanimation is not my work. Optimus Prime™ is a registered trademark of Hasbro. THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP! You have to manually put it into your system/media folder and change permissions(-rw-r--r-- aka 644). Also, you will want to delete your old boot animation(make a backup!) and may need to rename this one bootanimation_sprint.zip(If you are using stock ls970). Feel free to use this(and any of my bootanimations) in any way you like! I never ask for donations but if you like/use it, you could always hit that thank button!

I'd like to thank Lrod0175 for a great rom and his ongoing optimizations, everyone on xda, the #lg-optimus-g irc channel, Optimus Prime and Megatron(because what would Prime be without him?) and anyone else I may have forgot!​
Feel free to leave feedback and suggestions!!!

Dude! That is too cool!

Yo, I just tried it and its awesome, dude I know u put a lot of work into that one, great job buddy, make me a shutdown animation with the second part, then make it fade into the screen lie the transition u have. Try to keep it as small as u can, I wanna have in the rom.

That shouldn't take me long. The bootanimation was over 100mb before I converted the .pngs to .jpgs and ran jpegoptimizer, lol. But like I said that shouldn't take me long and should be relatively small. I'm currently having issues with TWRP 2.5.0.0 restoring the data portion of my backup. Started happening ever since I installed Xposed but I can't seem to figure it out, backups fine, fails on restore. Hopefully I can figure this out but regardless I will take a break to do the shutdown animation.

Thats dope, looks better than the one I made lol. The one thats currently included in the rom was done by me, it was the 2nd boot screen I ever made. Do you use any specific tools when you make yours? It took me forever to build the one I had. I did all of my work in photoshop.

Not really, it depends on what Im doing. I only use linux so this was mostly made in GIMP. I found the original animation on youtube and downloaded the video with youtube-dl via the linux terminal. I then edited the video in kdenlive and broke it into separate frames with ffmpeg again via the linux terminal. From there I did all major editing/resizing in GIMP which can be time consuming but thank god for shortcut keys. After I was done with that I used imagemagick from the terminal to convert all the pngs to jpgs. In the terminal again I ran jpegoptimizer to shrink the byte size of the images. Finally(and yet again from the linux terminal, lol) I typed in zip -r -0 bootanimation.zip part0/* part1/* desc.txt to make an uncompressed zip file. Inkscape can come in handy and Im slowly learning to use Blender but this is my overall method of making a bootanimation.

@HPTesla concerning the TWRP restore. Did you happen to encrypt it? If so, it might not restore. I know a few of the TWRP versions had that issue. Nice work BTW!! :good:

Thanks! And nope, I never enable encryption or compression. Have tried making a backup several times. All is well until I try to restore them, then it fails at data. :-/ Maybe if I update to a TWRP newer than 2.5.0.0? The 2.6.3.0 version to flash 4.4 roms didn't have an EFS section in the backup so I went back to 2.5.

I'd recommend staying with the 2.5.0.0. The 2.6.x.x series has had some issues for us. Including sleef's brick!
The modded 2.6.3.0.works as far as backing up and restoring 4.4 roms. But I haven't tried it with anything below 4.4. I usually flash back to 2.5.0.0 when I downgrade to 4.3, 4.2, 4.1. Just my 2cents.:silly:

Ok, in that case, no. I tried that a little while ago and while it cut my backup in half, it wouldn't restore. So I've backed up a few times since without compression and have remembered to make sure it wasnt checked when making a backup. I've also noticed that making the backup takes almost twice as long now, clearly it's having some kind of issue but who knows with what. The only other thing I've noticed is that the backup from my 11/26 is just under 4000mb and now it's just over 4100mb. I'm stumped, lol and this is probably not the place for this discussion but Im a bit sleep deprived as well.

Porting LineageOS 14 to the d710

Disclaimer: I am not a ROM developer. I am a developer and Linux user, but I know next to nothing about creating Android ROMs. Whole other world to me.
I'm wondering if all three of us Epic 4G Touch users left might be able to get a working port of LineageOS 14 on our aging handsets.
The good news:
I just loaded the Official LineageOS 14 for i9100 20170419 nightly on my d710, and IT WORKS
...almost.
The bad news:
The ROM boots up, everything works and looks normal except for:
Wi-Fi - Settings app spins with message "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
Menu Button
Home Button
Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to fix these problems. I prefer on-screen navigation anyway, so that's probably an easy "fix." But Wi-Fi will probably be trickier. I assume it's kernel related, but I can't find any Nougat kernels for this device, so that will likely be the most difficult part.
Thoughts? Anyone else out there have any input or want to give this a crack?

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't get an error.
The ROM flashes without modification. Make sure you have an up-to-date TWRP with the i9100 crossflash patch: https://github.com/Lanchon/TWRP-Patcher-SGS2

Ive tried flashing twrp onto my device using the guide that tells you how, even after editing the installer script to have the SPH-D710 line in it it aborts the installation

I followed lots of advice from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/epic-4g-touch/help/help-getting-stock-rooted-4-1-2-to-cm11-t3384832
I believe the method that finally worked for me was: Odin to EL29 rooted, Philz recovery, TWRP, CM11.
That's where I was before I tried the i9100 LOS 14.1 ROM.

I can get a twrp with a different rom then cm11 but that twrp doesnt have the img installation feature on it

If you have root in CM11, you can use Flashify to flash the new TWRP .img file.

My E4GT still works, more than glad to throw my hand in the pot to make something happen. Haven't used the S2 in years so it's not updated, currently running an old build of CWM and a CM11 nightly with iso-rec support. If you could bring me up to speed on what I need to get from where I am to a newer recovery(TWRP preferred) and your ROM I'll start playing around with it. Last time I searched all of this to update left me more confused than anything with it being mixed up with the i9100 and i777 information as well.

You should be able to flash the latest TWRP (for i9100) using Flashify. Beware that I have not been able to get TWRP to mount my external SD card, so any files you want to flash in TWRP need to be stored on internal memory. Everything else works perfectly. Mounting USB storage in TWRP works well, and that's how I've been able to get new files on the phone when I needed to.
After installing TWRP, make sure you run Lanchon's crossflash patch on it: https://github.com/Lanchon/TWRP-Patcher-SGS2
I used
Code:
lanchon-twrp-patcher-20160417-crossflash-d710.zip
to enable flashing d710 and i9100 ROMs.

Mounting USB storage in TWRP works well, and that's how I've been able to get new files on the phone when I needed to.
After installing TWRP, make sure you run Lanchon's crossflash patch on it: https://github.com/Lanchon/TWRP-Patcher-SGS2
I used
Code:
lanchon-twrp-patcher-20160417-crossflash-d710.zip
to enable flashing d710 and i9100 ROMs.

Yeah, I took another look last night, the information available now clarifies things that seemed a mess back when I first looked into this.
Have you made any progress with your ROM? If the hardware keys are still not working it's because key mapping is different on i9100, also rotation is backwards or at least it was years back when I flashed a i9100 ROM on my D710. You can remap the hardware keys so that they function correctly. Other than that there should be no differences.

I haven't done anything yet except try to load the unmodified i9100 ROM and report what works/doesn't. Really the only thing I need fixed is the Wifi, and I have no clue how to do that.

I'll reach out to some developer associates and see what I can find out about the WiFi.

I'm not a developer, but I have a D710 lying around and I am willing to do testing if you need me

I also have an Epic 4g touch that im willing to test stuff

So... I guess nothing ever happened with this ROM? I have a SCH - R760 from US Cellular that AFAIK is compatible with d710 roms. I would still be interested in running Nougat on my device - even though my eMMC seems to have issues at the moment.

Never had any real interest, and I don't know enough to do it myself.

Understood. So you said that the buttons didn't work and the wifi wasn't turning on. Were there any other major bugs that you noticed? I might try and make it work for our device, because why not!
Thanks for still responding after so many months!

Those were the only two things I noticed. Bluetooth worked. I didn't see any apps crash (but I couldn't load new ones because no wifi). I didn't try cell service because I don't even have Sprint anymore, but I suspect that probably didn't work for the same reason wifi was killed.
Thanks for looking into this! I'm still interested if we can find a way to make it work. I just don't know much about creating ROMs. I'm not an Android dev.

Question "Rooted" now what?

Oneplus finally came through with my bootloader unlocking token.Not to mention all the hoops T-Mobile had me jump through.With that being said im in possession of my very first fully rooted phone that just happens to be a 9 Pro.Any suggestions on which modules I can command Majisk to install first?How bout any general pointers thus being this is my first experience free and in full control of my 9pro.?

Here's some ideas:
What Magisk modules are you using?
Hey all moving up from my OP 7 pro to the OP 9 pro. What are all the magisk modules everyone is using on the OP 9 pro.? 1.Anything to force full screen mode on all apps? The settings for full screen apps dont include all the apps im using as...

To be honest, I would hold off until we have a working TWRP build, especially if this is your first experience of root, etc

I was thinking the same thing .I just thought maybe there are some safer mods I should do in the meantime.

@Shanemichealrowland
I've been rooting Android for many years now. I always read read and read some more before I begin to install anything and I always wait until there is a working custom recovery and make a FULL backup of every partition and transfer it to a USB drive and or my computer first thing. Make sure to backup your efs as well so that if you lose your IMEI at some point it too can them be reflashed using fastboot. These are things I've always done and will continue to always do. Many users get excited and rush out to install things and don't read enough about their device and end up with an expensive piece of plastic and glass. If you always wait and read everything and make sure you fully understand how your device works before you install things then you will always have a great experience and never have to go through the bad feeling of ruining your expensive device. I read everything in a forum about my device first. You can't go wrong doing things that way. I hope this helps. OnePlus makes great devices! I'm using my OnePlus 6t now to type this and I still love it!! Welcome to XDA my friend.
Edit added: I see you're from Houston. Me too.

There are Magisk modules but if you get into trouble you need to be able to access recovery, OnePlus's default recovery isn't quite as all encompassing as TWRP

Afaik you can delete problematic magisk modules in safemode. Plus I havent used TWRP pretty much for anything with OnePlus 8 pro and after. That just helps me understand better how things work. Plus because I use Linux msm is useless to me but thats another topic
Edit: Dont get me wrong, not trying to convince people to mod/flash anything. Just pointing out that TWRP is not necessity.

Could you clarify this? What procedure do you follow in the event of a brick? I use Linux exclusively and would prefer to be able to recover from a brick using Linux instead of relying on MSM, but I'm not clear on all the steps MSM does or where/how I would find the specifics needed to do the same thing myself.

Ive only done that once myself and that was with 6T. But basicly you need to flash every partition etc via terminal

Ok, I've flashed all partitions before, but I thought there was more to MSM's steps than that. E.g. fixing the partitions themselves, or some sort of voodoo required to recover from any sort of soft brick.

AfaIk there is not that much. It locks bootloader though and IF something goes wrong that could cause issues. One of the reasons ive never used it.
Edit: Ill correct myself. MSM uses EDL mode. And if device is borked that badly then only it works. And imo should be used only then
Edit2: One could try using virtual machine to use MSM with Linux but I have zero knowledge how that would play out

Right, I've been in situations with my last phone where EDL was my only option and I had to use MSM. I have dual boot on a laptop for those occasional Windows-only things like MSM. In the past I've found the USB passthrough to be unreliable for this purpose using a VM in virtualbox, though I haven't tried in a few years so it may have improved.
