Hi all,
I see a lot of things on xda.cn for the htc photon... But, i'm french and google's translate is not very good for china..
what do you think about that ?
http://bbs.xda.cn/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=260&page1
actually nothing special on there...there're only some "modified" versions from schlund's release...
They have some very active rom development (one of them has a wifi fix, battery saving algorithms and a gps fix). It should be interesting if someone skilled can apply this to schlund's release, so we have an english version of it

for battery saving, it only removes a lot of systematic apps from the install zip
you could also do it by using "SystemApp Remover"
Remove some unnecessary apps from the system partition

Not just that ... they try replacing schlund's kernel with a Russian one.

you just have to perform this in the fastboot mode of schlund's release:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
*the boot.img is extracted from russian's release
and then reboot the phone
I have not read it wrong, it seems that Schlund has said that in the coming days will release a new kernel because of the problem of battery power ...

did you use the new lkbootloader? (the out.nb)
if not, wifi won't work. make sure you flash the correct out.nb for your corresponding rom.
I tried two Versions
HI I tried the two versions, lk-photonic.nb and out.nb but my wifi doesn't work.
How do I know the correct version for my correspondent rom ?

I've already installed Chinese Roms and my WiFi worked as well as others, so the problem must be something especial for you.
thanks a lot to amarullz for providing aroma installer, and thanks to nightshack0 I have taken his installer and modded to work according to my need but dont think that I have just copied and pasted the installer
had you ever feel that another galaxy s variant's forum have a ics rom which suits all your need but you cannot flash it because it is not yet ported to your device but now all this will not happen again with this patch you can install which ROM you want to flash there will be no boundation for you.
if you are getting status 7 or getprop error then a little work from your side is needed
extract the rom to a folder then go to /extracted folder/META - INF/com/Google/Android
from there open updater-script and remove all getprop lines
come back to META - INF folder and delete all three files
zip the file and flash it in recovery
NOTE:- to edit updater script use jota text editor(android), notepad++(windows)

Hello Entropy & Omni team,
I have an issue when building find5 KK. In fact no really building as i manage to get the homemade zip file, manage to flash it, it boots ok, everything is working except that my radio is not recognised so no IMEI and no mobile network, wifi is ok. Here is a link to my own build witch has exactly the same size in KB that the official nightly. Strange stuff is that if i flash the official nightly over my build then no issue, and the radio is recognised.
Blobs are coming from donkey github
I tried to flash from aokp 4.3 build, then also from Color OS, same result.
Flashed maxwen radios 4.1 and 4.2 over my build same issue
I'm building from virtual box ubuntu 12.04, JDK 1.6 update 45, on a Mac.
The only thing i see that may be wrong is that at the end of each build before the package is delivered i see no radio.img found, skipping install, but i've read that it was coming without radio.
Tried to add a line in the build.prop to disable selinux "ro.boot.selinux=disabled" i did not help.
I use maxwen TWRP patched recovery, but also tried with last cwm recovery and same result.
With the same build environment i manage to build I9300 omni kitkat without issue.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Many thanks in advance, and also thanks for the great job you all with Omni

Thanks Maxwen! I've built today again...and it's working now, no issue anymore, my baseband is recognised after flashing 04/12 build. Were there some sources changes yesterday?
I will build again tomorrow morning to check if it's definitely solved.
Thanks a lot guys for your great job and support:good:

Issue with install apps from the app store or warehouse?
need to setup password in developer options
devel-su pkcon refresh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
also since store is sometimes a bit meh, you can use
https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
best way to copy files onto device is through ssh, setup password in developer options
store is sometimes broken, you need to do devel-su pkcon refresh in terminal, need to set password up in developer options.
OTA - Over the Air update
Best way to update SailfishOS is by using an ssh connection to the phone.
Disable all patches and Openrepos repositories before updating.
Before updating use
Set desired release version, for example 2.2.0.29:
ssu release 2.2.0.29

on hammerhead it works fine as 2nd rom.
Holy crap this is awesome! I was waiting for a sailfish os port since I switched from my nexus 4. Is there a way for me (as an non-coder) to help you out somehow?
Oh and do you think it is possible that camera will work in the future or is this a missing driver code thing?

Yes there is a stable multurom on jolla kernel tread but in that case probably i will need to use the cm13 as primery rom to becouse of the vendor.

the camera thing is a 32bit/64bit issue atm so i'll see were I get with it, am also messing around trying to get sfos working on a Huawei P9
No android apps at all, we have sfdroid, but its not working on cm13 as far as I know.
Very cool indeed, def hope this goes further. Remember it on N5 and was awesome
It's a nice ROM. But on my N5X the WiFi and Data isn't working.So sad.

That was my fault, issue with PARANOID_ANDROID. New image thats been upped should fix the issue
Ah... So it seems that its source is based on cm13 built in 161222, then should I use December mm vendor or January mm vendor?
(Sorry for my bad English...)

December probably.
And I know I'm bothering, but another question...
Is this rom doesn't contain boot animation? Cuz I saw cm13 booted well, but after flashing this over cm13 I can't see anything except google logo. Should I set my bootloader to the latest one?
6.0.1 (MTC20L) is what am using

Without the support from USA device owners and them being left out from rooting played a huge factor.
The Motog7power just got Lineage OS 16.

I recommend you to use SuperR's Kitchen (free version is only available for Linux, to use it on Windows you need to buy the full version).

Were all hoping to get a working custom rom for this device, Keep up bro. Thanks for trying
Seems like all the GSI ROMs break some hardware functionality at this stage so the best option for now is to root and debloat stock and load your own preferred apps in place of the Samsung / Google ones. Not quite a "Custom" ROM but makes for a pleasant enough phone that you can tolerate much more than the horror of stock.
Now a custom kernel to clock our severely crippled SoC back to its full glory would be a thing to smile about

I think that's because you have to add the device in 8)Room tools, 4)Asserts menu, 1)Add/remove device, then try adding the device, in my case i added "a20,a205g", i don't really know what device name TWRP reads
