[general][Q&A][Discussions] cyanogenmod 12

Hello folks at xda
i think it's better to ask our questions that are not helping developers to make stable cm12 here,and not post spams on dev thread.
i just want to say : leave developer threads for developers.:good:
ask general questions here.so devs can focus on important things.

How to install cm12 (mrsteve) on sp . by @[SIZE="5"]Dammer Martins[/SIZE]
Small tutorial for instalation of the steves build with working camera and wifi:
1-Download the ROM , ramdix fix, stock kernel and root fix
2-Open the ROM zip an push the ramdisk fiz in to system/bin folder
3-Now, put the ROM zip fixed, stock kernel and the root fix in your sdcard
4-Reboot in recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
5-Install the ROM, the stock kernel and then the root fix
6-Now reboot the system and wait the phone boot up (this take a veeery long time, trust me )
Tips: don't flash the gapps with the ROM instalation and disable the adaptive brightness to make the auto reboots stop.

Fix connectivity problem on CM12.by @noahvt
Hello,
Finally a fix has arrived for android 5.0 which will allow wi-fi data, outgoing calls, ... to work again
Steps:
1: Make sure your device is running android 5.0 by mrsteve555: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xper...8#post56946968
2: root the device by flashing this file: http://download.chainfire.eu/589/Sup...erSU-v2.16.zip
3: Reboot your device and open up terminal emulator
4: type su, press enter and give it root acces
5: type setenforce 0 and press enter
6: WAIT untill the device asks you to enter your sim pin (this means that it worked)
7: turn on wi-fi (it might take a little long to turn on wi-fi though)
8: that's it
9: well not yet there is one step you can do to make it easier to change the selinux state, Download and install this app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....selinux&hl=en
10: again make sure your device is rooted
11: open the app and now you can switch between permissive (this mode is the one that fixed the issues) and enforcing (default mode: wi-fi, ... don't work on this mode)
FAQ:
What is not affected (what doesn't work): The camera (can't connect to camera or hot reboot when launching camera app), more?
What is affected (what is fixed): WI-FI, Data (LTE too) Outgoing calls, more?
Do i have to do this everytime i boot my device: Yes for now you do
On what build does it run: mrsteve555's build, there were 2 reports of it not working on bagy's build

setup zram in android 5[credit : Mrsteve555]
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 30
echo xM > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
Replace x with your desired value(in MB)
And zram doesn't make phone "much faster", it just allows more multitasking while slowing the phone a bit.

Fix for music file not playing when you uncheck nuplayer in developer options
The solution to that will be installing viper audio. There is a different version for lollipop. You have to flash 3 zips. They need nuplayer off so you can play music and videos easily with nuplayer off

What's the problem if I flash GApps with the ROM?

sohan3421 said:

Click to expand...

The problem will occur if you do this on first flash as itll take a lot longer to boot and the auto brightness forced reboot will kick in before it finishes. Once system is in and auto brightness disabled then install gapps.

No new about calls?

Navigation bar and Pie controls
I know when I moved from 4.4 to 5.0 most things that I could get from xposed or custom roms were gone such as pie controls. I've been looking around for ages and I've managed to remove navigation bar using build.prop and adding a highly customizable pie controls app. If anyone wants a tutorial made to hide navigation bar and get pie controls just ask and ill do it

Pie
Keep Pie In Memory​
1. Search root explorer in Google play 3rd one down.
2. Open it and press mount R/W ( top of app)
3. Go into root directory and open the folder data.
4. Create new file and name it local.prop
5. Long hold the newly created app and press open in text editor.
6. Add com.android.lmt
This is to prevent android removing the service from memory when it is low.
Remove Navigation Bar​
1. Open build.prop located on /system
2. Add qemu.hw .mainkeys = 1 Remember to add a space between either side of the equals or it won't work
3.Do not reboot until you have downloaded LMT launcher
Add Pie Controls​
LMT Launcher ( PIe Controls (Not an actual launcher like nova or apex its just called that) )
1. Download the latest apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
2. Open the app make sure autostart is selected
3. Swipe right until you get to Pie.
4.Use these settings ( navigate to the screenshots) it will get rid of the unneeded two extra slots of pie controls
Finally Reboot
If you have titanium backup convert lmt launcher into a system app to integrate the pie controls more into the system

Why should I add ramdisk fix?

sohan3421 said:

Why not?
Because the ramdisk inside the zip is either corrupt or incomplete, resulting in bootloop if flashed.

Coz it'll go in a bootloop if you don't and then clog this thread too, by begging for a link and a guide which was clearly given and posted by many users.

[ROM][4.4.4] Vanir - resurrection [security update]

Trying to keep Vanir up-to-date for our otherwise dead phone . Fix minor bugs, add minor features, a bit of compiler optimization.
I'm not updating the whole rom here! Development of branch cm-11.0 for both Vanir and CyanogenMod has stopped, so there won't be any surprises here!
Bugs:
- adb over usb doesn't work in android (but works over wifi and in recovery it works normally, so no problem)
- clear notifications icon missing when switching from quicksettings
- call recording doesn't work
- synapse doesn't work
ART:
Apart from 2 inconveniences, ART works and is fast
- optizing one app on reboot - it's a bit annoying, but otherwise harmless (happens only sometimes)
- immediately after switching to ART phone won't sleep (power button doesn't work. Just leave it for a while (15-30 minutes) and let it settle - once the screen turns of by itself, everything wil be normal
Deep sleep issue (if exists):
Check using Better Battery Stats or any tool of your choice. If it is caused by Google Play Services, simply deny them wakelock priviledge: Go to Settings/Security/Privacy Guard/Google Play Services and set Keep awake -> denied. It won't hurt sync, no worries.
Feature requests:
- Smart Pulldown from Omnirom Done
- NonIntrusive incoming call screen (@force)

Hi!
New experimental build. It is _fast_ Added more optimization flags from ArchiDroid. It still has the location FC issue though, so if it's a problem for you, stay with stable.

Yes, load tun module. Either via KoControl app or from terminal: su and then "modprobe tun"

NT settings are old and mess with the kernel. Besides it's a ROM app, so you can't just take any version - it had to be built with the ROM. I don't support it.
Attached cm file manager to post 1 - try it (just drop it to /system/app as it doesn't seem to install the normal way)

@TheSteve87 what exactly do you need from nt app? Maybe I'll be able to add it into synapse.

i mainly use two settings, the battery voltage (?) control to have a faster charge and the audio gain options to higher the earbuds/speakers' volume
btw novathor settings are not that old, i actually extracted the apk from epirex's latest cm11 build and pushed it to /system on your vanir with no issues at all at least on the build before the beta version

And it'll only get better I almost nailed the correct compiler flags, so the next stable version will have the speed of beta (or more ), but of course without the NetworkLocationService bug.

Hi, my friend.
I've seen a known bug in CM11 derivated roms like this one. This is related to systemupdate service, the rom tryies to connect to cm software update but couldn't and causes a lot of aware.
I made this script and ran it at every boot
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService

Asus Z300M Nougat update?

Has anyone installed the Nougat update for the Asus Zenpad 10 Z300M?

Yes I do, what do you need to know?

I didn't know there was an update to Android 7 - I'm still hoping (probably in vain) for this tablet to be rooted.

Bad news I'm afraid. You need the original login details used to setup the device when it was originally purchased other than that it's a long winded battle with ASUS to prove you didn't steal the device.
Good luck

After update the system reboots all the time when WiFi is ON.
If I turn OFF wifi - it works fine. No other solution...

There is a thread right after this listing when search for Z300M on XDA that claims TWRP and asus bootloader unlock tool (not necessary 2 get twrp) and was the reason I purchased this tablet. So far errors in everything in the OP with no responses and I hate to be paranoid but once I know, if not twice I have actuall run into "FAKE" threads on XDA in the 2-3 years being on here claiming root/twrp for a device with a small amount of chit chat, responses.... that was pure BS!
Anyhow, if you ever get root here is the fix for your multi-user issue, with es file explorer, or root explorer and editing the boot. file:
Enable Multi Window and Multi User Modes
If you have a rooted Marshmallow ROM (or Nougat), you can enable the 2 features above by editing the build.prop file found in /system/
For multi-window mode, change this entry in build.prop
ro.build.type=user
to -
ro.build.type=userdebug
To enable multi-user mode, add these 2 lines to the build.prop (anywhere, it doesn't matter)
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Once you've made these changes, reboot the tablet.
To use multi-window mode, go to Settings, Developer options, and there will be a new menu item to switch this on or off.
To use multi-user, there will be a new option under Settings called Users.
If anyone seeing this has accomplished root on the Z300M 16GB wi-fi tablet, please let me know.....
thanks,
zach
ps of course, make sure you make a copy of the boot file to ext sd card or somewhere b4 just in case.... in the 15 times I have used this on 6.0, 7.0 lenovo & LG devices & 1 HTC... never had an issue BUT...

Thank you coolbeans2016, that's right the reason I am too desperately looking for a way to root: to apply that fix.
Btw, I really do not see the reason for Asus to disable a native function (multi-user) that is - to me - obvious for a tablet. (Maybe it eats resources? i.e. storage space)

Problem is the instructions for getting TWRP flashed or even just booted up on TWRP threaded for installation of SuperSU or Magisk is failing. I've been told I'm wrong and am just not reading or following the instructions correctly but on a VERY popular device there is NO ONE claiming $$PROFIT$$ on the thread! Even the ones claiming understanding of the thread are having complications but only have an average of 6 posts as jr users with no thanks feedback.... yet they have no questions regarding using the SP Flash Tool?!!!!! Strange to me!
I'm contacting the dev on the thread AGAIN to see if I can get a detailed set of instructions in JUST getting TWRP onto this tablet, or its useless to me......
He really thought I was calling his thread a false listing but straightened it out with him about the fact he references another such thread along the same lines for the Verizon Asus A380M, which EVERYONE knows has never been, probably never will be able to get a custome recovery, let alone root of any kind!!!!!!!!
Any info you come across, or if you have tried the thread I'm mentioning please let me know your errors encountered, any ideas how WE may be not taking the instructions correctly.

So if you read that thread you know what to do, because instalation proces was the same for me. There are only few difrences from Nougat, like no preformance mod and no hearing aids. And iv been reading about some new omc folders insted of csc folders, but for me everything was the same.
Iv tested on stock A520FXXU4CRD5 from my country carrier, downloaded from sammobile.
Now you have a flashable zip which worked on my phone it should work on yours too.
If it dosent work, then extract the files on your phone and manualy move your files and give the right permissions (you have to be rooted offcourse and have file manager like RootExplorer to do this).
I was hesitating to put a flashable zip because there are allways some problems with people complaining that this dosent work and that dosent work. But we all have the same phone so it should work on all A520f stock rooted phones and probably some custom stock roms too, but you need to test that yourself.
And if you enter them manualy on your phone at least you will learn some realy basic stuff and know what to do if you have problems.
Anyway...
To my phone nothing happend but i still need to say that you are Flashing it at your own Risk!
I won't be held accountable if something happens to your phone if you lost your data so Dont forget to backup your phone before flashing!!!
Features you should get with flashable zip are:
----------------------------------------
1. Floating messages
2. Record calls
3.Show network speed
4.Data Usage View in QuickPanel
5.Data Usage Notification
6.UltraDataSavingMod (data compression works only with Opera Max)
7.Camera Shutter sound on/of in camera options.
8.AppLock now with more options.
10.SClean
11.ScreenRecord (options only accessible from QPannel)
12.CaptureScreen/snapshoot (options only accessible from QPannel)
13.Secure WiFi (works only with Opera Max, and privacy on)
14.UHQ Upscaler quick pannel toggel
15.S Bike Mod
16.Places option on keypad
17.Advanced WiFi Menu
18.Messages with more options
19.VoLte quick pannel toggel (i dont think it works, you need more lines and files to work, and depends of your provider)
20. Enhanced LTE services, Toast SIM unlock...
21.LiveMessages in samsung keyboard
22.Caller ID and spam protection
23.NumberFormatting disabled
24.PowerPlanning--NEW
25.HomeMode(screensaver option) --NEW

2. In Samsung video options, but in option that apear when you press play on video,

#Multiuser
fw.max_users=30

Its working for me. Never had problems.
First check do you even have a AppLock in your priv-appfolder?
I didn put it in the zip because i already had it in inside my phone,
so i thought that maybe everybody has it to.

[ROM][PORT][9.0.0][dumpling]Pixel Experience for 5T[05.09.2018]

What's this?
First of all, I'm not the original developer.
He post it on other Chinese forum, and I am just to ask for his permission and post it here.
All credits to Coolapk user: Tutoo.
This is an unofficial build of Pixel Experience Pie for Oneplus 5T (dumpling).
The original is for Oneplus5, you can find it here : Click here
The dev make a port version of this
What's working :
Boots
RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)
Fingerprint
WiFi
Bluetooth
Camera (but same as other Pie ROM, a little laggy in third apps)
Flashlight
Camcorder
Sound / vibration
GPS
AOD
Hotspot
NFC
VPN
And device specific addition (same as OP5 thread)
Known issues:
Permissive
or other issue same as OP5
Fingerprint gesture to view notification also not working
But you can try the solution provide by @Sabissimo at #16
Although that didn't work for me, some report they success, still looking into the problem
If that work for you, don't forget to give him a thank
If you find any bugs, you can PM me or leave comments below, I'll reported it to original dev
Instructions :
First, backup your data to PC or laptop
Second, you HAVE TO wipe data,system,cache AND INTERNAL STORAGE (some reported that it didnt boot if no wipe internal storage)
Third, flash the ROM and No verity zip (In my case, I use v3, but it seems with no problem)
Now you can boot up your device, it'll boot up TWO TIMES, and this is normal
CAUTION !!!
Version1 already include Gapps,Magisk (16.7), firmware, gcam and Redflare kernel (1.13 build)
So it is unnecessary to flash other zips
But in Version2, it didn't have firmware, but with Magisk (17.1) and Redflare kernel (1.16 build)
you guys need to take notice of this
Downloads:
Because original was on Baidu Cloud, and it may block some countries IP (Example: Taiwan)
So I upload it to Google Drive
If it is needed to upload to AFH or other cloud, just PM me, I'll upload it when I'm free
Here is the GD link:Version1
Version2
Credits:
Coolapk user "Tutoo" for his awesome work
and XDA user @bhageerathreddyy for help testing
Because of the forum rule, TG group link are not allow to post publicly here.

ROM Kernel: Linux 4.4.152, RedFlare EAS kernel
ROM Firmware Required: TWRP, Unlocked bootloader

This was much faster than expected for this rom, been swapping between this and OOS, will have to test this tonight and Pie for the first time, ty for fast release.

HI, just flashed this. Looks and feels good but the fingerprint swipe gesture doesn't seem to work properly, It treats it like arrow keys and navigates around the UI.

Can u tell me dose it includes the adaptive battery and gcam ? And how are the animations ? And notification slider options

ROM is awesome! Adaptive battery, gcam, slider - all working
To make fingerprint gestures work, put this file in /system/usr/keylayout , and give it 755 permissions

First boot took about 1 min max. You have to be decrypted, flash rom, flash noverity (I flashed v3) - and you should be good.

Well, it's definitely working for me tho, be sure to give it permissions.
Also, don't know if it matters, but I've searched for "swipe" in settings, and got in "Swipe fingerprints for notifications" menu, which is (weirldy) not available in "Gestures", there was no toggle there, tho, just instructions video. Maybe just entering that menu enabled that, try it out.

@Sabissimo did you update your firmware to 5.1.5 ? and have you installed vendor partition data ?

I was on OB15, so whatever firmware it uses - I have it And had vendor of OB15, but I don't think that vendor matters, since this is not treble rom, and doesn't use /vendor, it uses /system/vendor

Well... the dev said that the ROM doesnt have that function, but how can you enable ? I also follow your steps and give them permission then reboot again, but nothing happen.

Step-by-step of what I did:
1. Wiped everything except internal storage
2. Flashed ROM
3. Flashed no-verity v3
4. Rebooted, it rebooted twice, then started booting up with google animation
5. Noticed that fingerprint is working as cursor, went to settings, searched for "swipe", entered that menu, there's no toggle there
6. Pasted gf_input.kl in /system/usr/keylayout, gave it 755 permissions
7. Rebooted and everything is working!
Try doing it in the same sequence (First try to to enter swipe menu before pasting gf_input.kl, then paste it), maybe that did the trick.

Confirm this was the exact process I followed and works like a charm. Just need a couple of days with it to test battery life.

just have one thing to say thankyou so much and this rom is just smooth

For anyone that wants to flash this ROM, don't worry about your firmware. This ROM's .zip file contains a firmware ALREADY so it will flash the necessary firmware itself!
