No it won't. I thought tjohn was still using 2.6.39. Either way the new kernel has a camera fix, but but it don't work on all gtabs yet, mine and one of fosser's at least. they had not released anything publicly yet either so unless whyberg finished it for 9701 some will have no camera either.
Whyberg s kernel suport camera tjonh boot img is based to tegra 3 kernels and change only cpu but has cpu right cache
Happy new year

For 1gb devices fully working pmstuff script

Gtab testing
Ok looks like someone will have to bite the bullet here, so I am going to put my Gtab on the block and see if this thing can function on it. As there is a lot of contradictory language on this page, it may or may not work, but if it does I'll let you know! Wish me luck...

I replaced the 'metadata' file with one from the '[ROM-AOSP][BL-1.2]G-Harmony Jellybean 4.1.2 ODEXed (UPDATED 12/28)' rom after reformatting with the 350mb team DRH NVFlash prep.
This time it applied without error, but the apply finished in about 15-20 seconds and I doubt much if anything actually applied.
Stuck at birds, so safe bet we need to do more than just replace the metadata file...Thanks for trying though.
You mention changing the install to yaffs....where would I do that?
Give a try with right meta data
Aokp its different
And try with new boot img from 4.2

I confirmed the metadata is right. I used the newest rom posted here, but I COULD try the 4.2 boot image, but at that point, build.prop will be all wrong too so how much must be done just to get it to install and boot? Someone more skilled might need to do this right..
I'll try the 4.2 boot image from "[ROM] AOKP-4.2.1r1 & CM10.1 (WIP) 1/2/2013 TESTERS/CRACKFLASHERS ONLY" though and let you know.

SUCCESS ... but "Move to SD Card" Issue
Downloaded the file; installed the full update successfully.
Having few issues with the new UI/OS though
- foremost is that i seem to have lost the "Move to SD Card" option for apps completely !
Even though my default save location is set to SD card, new apps gets installed in Internal storage only; and for the already installed ones, the "Move to SD Card" button is nowhere to be seen
Everyone has the same issue?
---
I hope its a bug which would be fixed soon rather than a feature we have to live with.

Yes of course, there are a plenty of Apps available, but NONE WORKS in our situation.
They don't work for the simple reason - app2sd kind of apps basically take us to the system storage settings where we need to click the "move to SD" button - and that button is not to be seen in our situation. SO, NO MOVE TO SD POSSIBLE.
No issues with SD card detection - it shows up in file manager, my camera pics still gets stored there - its just the app installation for which the sd card seem to be unavailable...
... and a whole bunch of apps that used to be previously installed in the SD card have kinda 'disappeared' - i mean, i can still see the ghost app folder if i browse to the SD card using a file manager, but the App itself isn't installed and doesn't show up in the list of installed apps.

I'm on B313 PLK-L01 (EU version), and I was able to install Spotify (incl. offline downloads) to the SD card. I selected SD card for Default location, restarted the phone, and installed Spotify. Later I reverted it back to internal storage, as I want the SD card for Spotify music, mostly.
It worked, my Spotify folder in the SD card (Android/data/com.spotify.music) currently contains almost 5GB, and the one on internal memory is empty. So there is hope, at least.

Hi guys
Just noticed another bug with the new UI/OS
I usually save all my phonebook contacts on my google account (like many android users, im guessing)...
In the contacts settings, we used to have an option to "display only contacts with phone numbers" ...or something similar - remember?
That seems to be missing now.
So, what happens is, when i set my phonebook to display my google account contacts, i get like 1000+ contacts from gmail (with email addresses, WITHOUT phone numbers). These are NOT unwanted entries - i need their email addresses for communicating and stuff - i just don't want them to be displayed in my phonebook)
...and i guess that's exactly why the feature of "display only contacts with phone numbers" was brought in. AND THAT SEEMS TO BE MISSING IN THE CURRENT OS/UI.
---
I SINCERELY HOPE THAT DEVELOPERS @ HUAWEI ARE AWARE / TAKING NOTE OF THESE BUGS AND WORKING ON FIXES
---
May be i should get in to the huawei forums and post these thing there ...? Yeah, that makes sense ... i will try.

If record don't work at all verify in settings/Storage reset that you have no Network Storage connected from your computer ! That fixed the issue for me !

WakeBlock is an app that, through a system modification, allows users to block or limit any system wakelock, without the need of any kind of framework.
Currently, we support all versions of Android from Nougat 7.0 to Q 10. We plan to continue the support for future Android version, while anything under Android 7.0 won't be supported. While the patch is supposedly working on ANY device, we won't know unless we try. So try this and let us know!
Recently, we updated the coremod for better compatibility and even added Dark Mode!
This modification can be applied Systemless-ly with Magisk, by creating the Magisk Module from inside the app.
The app is currently in beta stage, so is missing many features we plan to implement in future releases.
Also, beware that the current version of the app is released for free, but it may become paid/donation based in the future.

FAQ
Here you can find the most common questions and their respective answer. Simple as that. READ THEM.
Q - How do i use wakeblock?
A - Once you have installed the app, just open it and click on "Install Core Mod", the app will create the Core Mod needed for your device (this might take a while, from 5 to 30 minutes) and then will reboot the phone to flash it. When the phone has rebooted, open the app: If the message says "Service Bound" you're all set!
Q - How can i block wakelocks?
A - From within the app, just switch to the "Wakelock" tab. Here every wakelock recorded since the first boot with the core mod installed, so give it at least 2/3 days of normal use before blocking anything. Click on the wakelock you want to block, press the "Block" button and then set for how long is the wakelock gonna be blocked!
Q - Which wakelock should i block? For how long?
A - We suggest to check out this guide on XDA to fully understand what it means to block a wakelocks and how it affects your system.
Q - I'm lazy af and i don't want to read all of that, can't you give me a short list?
A - Ok, but we don't take any responsibilities if the phone bricks or your ROM explodes. You are totally free to change the blocking time value to make it as you please but, again, we don't take any responsibilities. You can find the list here. Remember: if you don't find one of the wakelocks, just check in later. If you still don't find it, don't worry at all! Side note: the search button is not case-sensitive.
Q - Can i block the [wakelock name] wakelock?
A - If it is part of the list linked above, you're good to go! If not, we can't assure a thing, but if you find any safe-to-block wakelock let us know!
Q - When is the new version/fix/graphic coming?
A - Do not ask for an ETA. We do this for free, without any ads in the app nor donation packages, we don't even put a price on our app. We all have jobs, university and a private life to manage, we don't have superpowers, so managing all of this takes time. Our free time is pretty short, but we usually put at least half of it on the developing of the app. Be patient and do not harass the team nor the telegram group.
Q - Your app killed [insert any feature here] in my phone!
A - Everything is done by user input, the app by itself (even with the core mod installed) doesn't do anything but reading which wakelock the system is calling. Unless you blocked something we didn't suggest you do to this problem and our app are totally unrelated.
Q - Your app is killing my battery life! WTF!
A - By itself, the app doesn't do anything even with the core mod installed. Keep WakeBlock whitelisted in every hybernation app (like Greenify) but the basic Android Optimization. If the battery drain has increased, double check what you blocked, that might be the reason!
Q - I just updated and it doesn't see the Core Mod!
A - It's a known bug. Check if the app kept all permission (Both root privileges and Storage permission) and simply reboot your phone. It will magically start to see it again! SIDE NOTE: you don't need to reinstall the Core Mod every time you update the app!
Q - How can i uninstall the app?
A - First of all, we are sad that you want to leave us. If you didn't install the Core Mod, or it failed in any way, you just need to delete the app and everything is gone! If you did install successfully the Core Mod, check the WakeBlock backup folder (/sdcard/WakeBlock/Backups). You will find a bunch of different folders with different dates and times. Pick the most recent one and look inside. Here, you will have one of two cases:
CASE 1: FILES = services.odex & and services.vdex | ODEXED ROM
In this case, boot into your custom recovery of choice (TWRP for example, you can't do it from a root explorer) and mount your /system partition. Now check both /system/framework/oat/arm and /system/framework/oat/arm64 for a service.odex and a service.vdex. Here, COPY (and DO NOT MOVE) the files from the backup and paste them to replace the files in your system (one of the two folders above). Now delete the app and you're now WakeBlock-free!
CASE 2: FILE = services.jar | DEODEXED ROM
In this case, boot into your custom recovery of choice (TWRP for example, you can't do it from a root explorer) and mount your /system partition. Here, COPY (and DO NOT MOVE) the file from the backup and paste it to replace the file in your system (in this case /system/framework). Now delete the app and you're now WakeBlock-free!
Q - YOUR APP DOESN'T WORK, WHY?
A - It works. We tested it (and we keep testing it) many times before committing an update! Double check permissons and give it a reboot, usually fixes most of the "doesn't work" problems.
Q - I found a bug! How can i report it?
A - First of all, check on the Telegram Group if anyone else had your problem, both by first searching and then asking directly. If no one can help you on the spot, send a ticket on the @wakeBlockSupportBot. It will ask for a logcat, so make sure you make one while you encounter the problem. DO NOT CONTACT ANYONE OF THE TEAM UNLESS EXPLICITLY ASKED TO.
Q - How do i take a logcat?
A - First of all, make sure that you have the needed Platform Tools. Due to the fact that the app reboots, it's better if you take it with a pc rathern than with an app. Plug the phone into your PC, you start the cmd.exe as administrator (or, if you use Linux, you need to open the terminal with root privileges) and run the command "adb shell", now the console will show the internal console of the phone. From there, run "su", a prompt will appear to your phone to ask for root permission. Approve it, then run "cd /sdcard/Download". Afterwards, run "logcat >> log.txt" (Nothing will appear on screen because it's redirecting every output to the log file). Now start the patch. When it gives the error (or after it reboots), close the app, click "Ctrl + C" to stop the logcat. Then, from the phone, send us the log.txt (you will find it in your Download folder).
Q - Wow! You guys are awesome!
A - Thank you!
TO-DO LIST
- Alarms. Yeah.
- Fixing problems related to some Samsung devices and Pixel devices
- Import/Export system for the blocked Wakelock
- Inserting the FAQ and the suggested wakelock-to-block list into the actual app
- Adding the feature to change the block time without unblocking the wakelock
- Various fixes and improvements
WANT TO INTEGRATE WAKEBLOCK IN YOUR ROM?
We decided to release the core part of the mod to let ROM developers integrate it in their own source code.
Here is the patch for you to simply drag on whichever version of android (should work on 7.x (maybe 6.x?)) and whichever device/ROM you want.
The only things we ask for are (that's not a legal license, but it can make us REALLY upset if you don't do that) :
- You shall credit @GioBozza for the mod by linking this thread in your ROM post (c'mon, don't write it in the bottom of the post, with size 1!)
- You may include this code to any non-commercial work (you can still get donations, we're cool with those!)
- You can not sell this code or get donations by the code of this mod alone
- You may include the free version of the apk in your ROM (in the future we may release a paid version or an unlock app. Of course, that can not be included.)
- You should redirect users here for support about the mod or the app itself
- You should have fun and save your battery
- You may need to drink some fruit juice afterwards - have that ready!
WHOOP, WHOOP - DOWNLOAD:
v0 Templates - platform/frameworks/base repository.
https://github.com/GiovanniBozzano/wakeblock
REMEMBER: the app takes no privileges at all to manage wakelocks. The ROM can even be without root!
Take note that we will update the "core" (android framework) part of the mod, from time to time. It is versioned, so you can keep track of what happened.
Cheers!
Thank you. Seems promising

Are you on rooted stock 7.1.1? We tested on that, and well... it works. Just needs a reboot after app install and it will continue to work across reboots.

I'm on resurrection remix 7.1.1 and flash kernel. I guess it isn't supported on this yet but it is only alpha so no worries if I can't get it to work.

*** HAVE A BACKUP READY FIRST ****
Try this:
- Download the odex file here (it's the same that you find in the archive, if you want to save data, extract the flashable archive)
- Move the file (with any file browser with root support) to /system/framework/oat/arm64 and replace if asked
- The phone (could) instantly reboot. If not, check if the permissions are rw-r--r-- (644)
- Reboot
It says unbound after I rebooted

Well. It means your rom is not odexed.
You can try by creating those folders and put that file there. Can't guarantee btw

Hopefully you find something. Is it because some roms are aosp and some are odex or something? I'm confused about what the difference is and why it makes this mod not work.

Odexing is the way Android now uses to optimize code and generate .oat or .odex machine code files from .dex smali files.
Some ROMs are deodexed: this means all applications run on .dex files and sometimes even system modules (and that's your case).
Currently the mod is tied to the .odex file, but I'm going to support the deodexed version as well.

Boot from sdcard
There is a way to run PostmarketOS on a Micro SD Card (an easy but a little bit dirty way):
What you have to do:
Download my XFCE 2.0 img file HERE and burn the img to the Micro SD Card (using an image USB writer program). You can also instead write your own image to the Micro SD Card using pmbootstrap: pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/path/to/sdcard
Download the FAKE pmOS zip HERE. It's a sample zip file to avoid errors of the initial script installer. Then, push it to the tablet using `adb push` and then flash it.
Your device must have TWRP recovery installed. So, go to TWRP recovery now.
WIPE /system partition (where sample postmarketOS is installed).
Insert your Micro SD Card to your tablet.
Reboot and enjoy!

XFCE is one of the Desktop Environments that you can choose on PostmarketOS installation. In this device, it is the most stable for me.
Edit: Like you said, maybe if I have time, could install a theme for XFCE to modernify it.

They have anbox packaged, but i think won't work. Mind that it's using a 3.x.x kernel (and at the moment of writing, kernel.org will hit 5.10 soon)

I'm trying to fix at least the WiFi issue, because you can only connect with nmcli.
The hard work now is to port the kernel into mainline sources on kernel.org (that can be really long), so then I don't have to carry an entire fork for just this device.
Because the OMAP chip is supported, maybe it can be a little bit easier.

I only distribute the XFCE image, but I'm also trying to fix some TODO issues (most important ones, it's not worth to spend a lot of time on an outdated 3.x.x kernel) and making a prettier desktop environment.
So... of course is not the end. In fact, there's so much work to do

Wow still working on an 8 year old device I'm amazed!! Thanks a lot
Also im using it on espresso3g (if that helps u fix bugs)
I am more than happy to test this (cant tell battery info my battery is old and dosent work properly) but other features and issues i will try and tell you!
I would also love to help develop it but I have no clue on how the code for a custom OS works and i guess it requires Linux and a beefy computer
All the best and thanks!
