WARNING: When using custom kernels on the Note 7, never turn off developer options or OEM unlock. If you do, you will lose all your data and have to flash a full stock firmware restore to use your device again!
OKAY SO
This is Kali NetHunter 3.15.2 for the Galaxy Note 7.
If you don't know what Kali NetHunter is, well, it's the entire Kali Linux operating system in a chroot on your phone, plus a bunch of awesome apps for executing exploits, fixing things, doing cool things. It goes on, I suppose.
I'm gonna be honest guys, I'm not a security person. When it comes to security, I'm more of a Paul Blart.
What I do know though, is that there is apt-get, and apt-get is life.
Find much more information here: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki
The answer to all your questions, generally the answer is YES, IT CAN DO THAT.
Most ROMs should be supported, as our installer uses a dynamic patching method on your current boot image!
The NetHunter installer zip will add a few files to your /system partition, and install all of the NetHunter apps to your /data partition.
The chroot is located in /data/local/nhsystem, so you don't have to worry about your system partition being full. It's full read/write capable.
Understand that the zip will replace your current kernel with a completely different one.
This is necessary because most stock or custom kernels don't provide the drivers needed to operate most of Kali NetHunter's features.
NetHunter also includes its own Busybox that gives you full large file support and some extra applets.
It will not overwrite your current one, and will happily install alongside it as busybox_nh.
DOWNLOAD
Current version: 3.15.2 (stable, 2016-11-04)
Please be careful to download the right version based on this table:
SM-N930F, SM-N930FD, SM-N930X: kernel-nethunter-gracelte-*
SM-N930K, SM-N930L, SM-N930S: kernel-nethunter-graceltekor-*
All others be sad.
For the apps, chroot, and everything other than just the kernel, you will also need to download:
nethunter-generic-arm64-*
See installation instructions before proceeding!
Downloads are available at: http://build.nethunter.com/nightly/
BEFORE INSTALLING
IMPORTANT: Kali NetHunter requires write access to your data partition!
This means that if your data partition is encrypted, you will need to use the [Format Data] button in TWRP to remove encryption.
This will delete all your data, including internal storage.
You should back everything up first before installing Kali NetHunter.
Samsung Smart Switch Mobile can be useful for this, and allows you to back up your apps to a location on an external SDcard.
Unfortunately it doesn't back up most app data.
The Kali chroot and apps are installed on your data partition (in /data/local/nhsystem for chroot). To initialize the chroot and install Kali Linux, you need to start the Kali NetHunter app.
The generic NetHunter installer will automatically install SuperSU. We try to keep it up to date, but it isn't always.
If you already have SuperSU or another root method installed, please simply delete the supersu.zip from the root of the zip file before installing it.
It's recommended that you restore or flash your ROM's original kernel before installing NetHunter.
FULL INSTALLATION STEPS
Install Team Win Recovery Project to your recovery partition.

}
Recommended: If you have a custom kernel or SuperSU installed, restore your stock kernel. (called Boot in TWRP)
This isn't entirely necessary, but you may need to flash the NetHunter kernel again if SuperSU replaces it.
If your data partition doesn't mount in TWRP:
Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".
WARNING: This will wipe your internal storage, disable encryption, and factory reset your phone!
Once your data partition is formatted, go to [Reboot] -> [Recovery].
Download the kernel-nethunter zip specific to your device.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the NetHunter kernel installer zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
If you wiped your data partition in step 2:
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Set up your phone by following the Android setup wizard.
Once it's set up, reboot back into recovery.
For new installations: Download the nethunter-generic-arm64-kalifs zip.
For upgrades: Download the update-nethunter-generic-arm64 zip.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the NetHunter generic arm64 installer zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.
Open the NetHunter app to initialize the environment
You're done!
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.
UPDATING TO A NEWER BUILD OR UPDATING YOUR ROM
Follow the installation steps above. NetHunter can be installed over itself as many times as you'd like.
If you don't want to lose your chroot, flash the smaller update-nethunter-generic-arm64 zip instead.
THE KERNEL
The NetHunter kernel for the Galaxy Note 7 is based on Samsung's OSRC N930SKSU2BPID kernel sources.
It has the following changes:
Carefully updated to Linux 3.18.44 (with dirtycow vulnerability patched)
SELinux permissive
F2FS updated to Jaeguek Kim's latest kernel.org f2fs-stable sources
F2FS formatted data partition support
Enabled USB (OTG) Atheros, Ralink, and Realtek WiFi drivers
FIOPS IO scheduler as default IO scheduler, SIO available
USB HID Gadget keyboard & mouse support
mac80211 packet injection support
DriveDroid compatibility
Additional drivers built in for the full Kali NetHunter experience
Data partition encryption disabled (not supported by custom kernels at the moment)
Kernel module support, insert your own modules!
CIFS, NFS available through included kernel modules
RAN INTO AN ISSUE OR BUG?
In order for me to help you, you have to at minimum reply with:
The link to the exact zip you downloaded
Your device model
The name of the ROM you're flashing it on
The version and build date of the ROM you're flashing it on
A complete description of your problem
If your issue is with a specific app, it might be better to contact the developer of that app.
For Kali NetHunter bugs/issues, you can open a ticket at: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/issues
If your issue is during the installation (ex. flashing the NetHunter zip), then please collect a TWRP recovery.log for me.
If you found a problem and were able to fix it, and no one's mentioned it in the thread already, it would be kind to state the issue and your fix for others to make use of as well.
You can join me and the other NetHunter developers on IRC at the #nethunter room on freenode to more handily diagnose problems together.
I apologize, but I can't do house calls at this time.
KNOWN ISSUES
USB Keyboard - The keyboard is unusable when using Google Keyboard as your input method. Switch to Hacker's Keyboard.
Reboot after 60 seconds - Sometimes when you boot your device it could reboot after 60 seconds because of a Samsung secure service not responding. Unresolved, but rare, and only happens within 60 seconds of a boot.

I'd like to use this second post here specifically to thank @Tkkg1994 for his work in finding out how to get custom kernels on the Note 7 to boot.
I've created a thread to guide new users and developers into Note 7 kernel development so that we can bring on the surge of custom development that XDA should be known for.
See: Looking to create your own custom kernel? Start here!
You'll even learn how to build and install the Kali NetHunter kernel yourself!

Hey guys, I just updated to BPI9 now which has the September security patch, the 60% battery charge limit, and a constant popup notification telling you to swap your device for a new one.
Well guess what? Unintended side effect!
The popups are gone and it's charging past 60% lol.
SIr u are a legend...this is world of possibilites... thank you
Can this be flashed over any custom kernel or needs wipes and all??

It should be flashable over most custom kernels, and it will keep whatever configurations the previous kernel made to the ramdisk and system. If you have set a feature to a value that the NetHunter kernel does not support, the kernel should be smart enough to ignore it and use default for that.
In some cases you might run out of space on the boot image, but the installer will let you know and not flash it. In such a case you'll want to flash the stock kernel before flashing NetHunter again.
You should never need to wipe anything unless your data partition is encrypted.

Read the first post. Everything about the kernel is stated there, it's meant to be used with Kali NetHunter but you can use it standalone if you like. If you're not using it with Kali NetHunter then it serves little purpose other than to completely remove Knox and a very slight performance & battery boost over the stock kernel. (because its code isn't constantly being audited by TIMA/RKP)
It should be no slower and no faster than any other custom kernel, unless people start adding modifications to reduce or increase cpu clocks at the risk of loss of stability.
For the most part, battery differences between kernels are...not noticeable at all. If you notice a difference, it's probably because you've optimized your phone's idle state by rebooting and/or clearing running apps from memory after installing it.
Update: Whoa, I looked through BPI7 battery driver changes, it appears that they also added Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 support lol!

It should work just fine.
I'm not sure now, this is the Exynos kernel source. They added 12V input acceptance to the drivers, previously it was only 9V. They might have only labeled it as QC30 because it wasn't working properly before on QC3.0 chargers. I don't see QC3.0's dynamic voltage code in there, only the option to go between 5V 9V and 12V, so I guess it's mostly just faster charging support added that should work with QC2.0?
CSID shows my SDI battery only rated for 9V so I can't seem to get it to charge at 12V, it makes me wonder if these new replacement phones are rated for 12V and the reason people are saying they get hot is because...it's charging at 12V?
Okay it seems to be stable for me... Samsung has added a toggle to enable up to 80% battery in charging settings menu under device maintenance 3dot menu, so I don't think I'll be doing any trickery here as I agree with their decision to limit the battery to 80% and I don't want to put others at risk. I'll be updating it ASAP.
Can you please let me know if https://idlekernel.com/nethunter/gracelte/kernel-flasher-gracelte-1.0-20161001-1346.zip enables the green battery for you?
Update: New builds up, rebased to BPI7 and enabled green battery (on good battery) / 60% soft limit (on bad batteries)
Haven't run into the 60 second reboot on the new build, but maybe I've just been lucky.

I think if a custom kernel can UV CPU/GPU, battery performance will be better. Phone also have lower temp - an important and sensitive thing now.
I can confirm this based on what I did on my ex-Note5, S6, Note4 ...

** DoPa6 (AOSP - Marshmallow) ** is now available - see this post for details and downloads
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DoPa5 v1.3 is a Lollipop ROM for Sero 7 Pro owners worldwide. It focuses on core functionality that must be built-in and relies on 3rd-party apps to provide features that can be added-on. This release also offers a version of TWRP Recovery that is compatible with all models of the S7P.
Key Features
International Support - a single ROM for all Sero 7 Pros sold worldwide (US, UK, Australia, Germany, and elsewhere)
Speed Control - speed when you need it and stock performance when you don't
OTG Charging - charge the tablet while an external device is attached to the USB port
Flexible Formatting - full support for both F2FS and EXT4 on your internal storage, and exFAT/FAT32/NTFS/F2FS/EXT4 support for external storage
Installation
First-time Users
If you're upgrading from a stock ROM (any variety), please click the "show content" button and read the instructions very carefully - they're long but your tablet's continued good health may depend on it!
STEP 1: Install TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery
Users outside the US must use the DoPa versions of these recoveries to install the ROM - neither the stock recovery nor other versions of CWM or Philz will work. Users in the US should use them just to avoid problems.
Stock Recovery
If you still have the stock recovery program you'll have to use the 'fastboot' program to install TWRP or Philz. On Windows, this requires installation of the 'ADB' USB drivers while in fastboot mode (see below). A package containing the drivers, fastboot, adb and other files can be found in the 2nd posting on the DoPa Stock ROM thread. Note: there are several batch files (*.bat) in the package - do NOT run them.
put fastboot.exe in a convenient directory, then unzip the recovery zip and put the .img file (twrp.img or philz.img) in the same directory (you won't need the other files)
unplug any USB cable, then press and hold Power+VolumeUp; the word "fastboot" should appear on the screen (nothing further will appear)
plug the USB cable from your PC into the tablet, then install the driver (open Device Manager, right click on "Other Devices->Fastboot", then select "Update Driver Software")
after installing the driver, open a command prompt ("DOS window") and change to the directory containing the files
enter, as appropriate, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img or fastboot flash recovery philz.img
when done, force the tablet off, remove the USB cable, then reboot into recovery: Power+VolumeDown - you should see the word "recovery", then either the TWRP or Philz menu
CWM
If you have CWM installed, copy your choice of recovery zip to an SD card, insert it in the tablet, then:
remove any USB cable, then boot into recovery: Power+VolumeDown
select "Install Zip", then "Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1"
select the file, then OK the selection
when done, back out to the main menu, select "Advanced options", then "Reboot recovery"
after the initial "recovery" screen, you should see the TWRP or Philz menu
Regardless of how you install your chosen recovery, the result should be the same. If it boots OK, compatibility is assured
STEP 2: Backup
I can't emphasize this enough: you must make a backup of your existing ROM. If something goes wrong, there's no way to get your device working again other than to restore it using the backup you've made. There's also another reason to do a backup: before installing the new ROM, you will have to reformat your /data partition. This will wipe out your apps, your settings, and most importantly, all the music/photos/etc stored on your "internal SDcard". These last items can be restored if you follow the instructions below:
You must do your backup onto a real SD card that you can remove because your "internal SDcard" will be erased in the next step. In fact, it wouldn't be a bad idea to do two backups (preferably to different cards) just in case one is faulty.
using Philz, select "Backup and Restore", then "Backup to /storage/sdcard1" -if there's enough space on the card, the backup will start without any further prompt;
using TWRP, select "Backup", then tap "Storage" (halfway down the screen) and ensure that "sdcard" is selected; on the previous screen, swipe the slider to start the backup;
it could take anywhere from 3 to 15+ minutes depending on the amount of data and the speed of your card
if needed, you can enable compression to create a smaller backup: for TWRP, you can check "Enable compression" on its main backup screen; for Philz, select "Misc Nandroid Settings -> Default Backup Format -> tar + gzip", then on the previous menu, tap on "Compression" to set the appropriate level
STEP 3: Install the DoPa5 ROM
Before you begin, you may want to download a Google Apps ("Gapps") package that you can install after the ROM. See the TK Gapps thread for details. I recommend the "Nano Modular" package which gives you the basics - you can always upgrade later. Put your Gapps package along with the ROM zip on an SD card and insert it into the tablet - you can use the same card you're using for your backups.
using TWRP, select "Wipe", then "Format data"; on the next screen type "yes" to confirm you want to proceed;
using Philz, select "Wipe and Format Options", then "Custom Format Options"; next select "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)" (the 8th item), then OK your choice;
return to the main menu
using TWRP, select "Install"; at the top it should show "Storage: sdcard" - if not, tap there and change the setting
using Philz, select "Install Zip -> Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1"
select sero7pro-aosp511-dopa5-v1.3.zip, then OK your choice - the install process should take about 40-60 seconds
next, install your Gapps package
return to the main menu, select "Reboot" then "System" if using TWRP, or "Reboot System Now" for Philz, then hold your breath for the next 3-4 minutes
the Hisense screen should be up for 30 seconds, followed by the DoPa boot animation for another 3 minutes
If the boot animation is still running after 5+ minutes, force the tablet off, then reboot. If that doesn't fix it, try formatting /data again. If it still doesn't work, restore your tablet from your backup ("Backup and Restore -> Restore from /storage/sdcard1"), then post a message here. If everything works out as hoped for, re-read the first posting in this thread for details on some of the features (and problems) of this ROM.
Upgrades
UK, AU, and DE users must use the DoPa versions of TWRP or Philz Touch to install the ROM because they are the only ones compatible with your tablet. US users can use any SELinux-enabled version of CWM, Philz, or TWRP.
from DoPa5 AOSP Lollipop ROMs - no need to wipe or format anything!
from DoPa AOSP Kitkat ROMs (v1.0-v2.7) - a clean install is recommended but not required
from pre-Kitkat (v4.4.x) or any CM-based ROMs - wipe your /data partition before installing to avoid unnecessary problems.
install sero7pro-aosp511-dopa5-v1.3.zip
- the installer will wipe (but NOT format) /cache and dalvik-cache for you
install your preferred Gapps package
- upgraders: this is required to prevent your downloaded Google apps from crashing
optionally, install the Nexus7 spoof (sero7pro-nexus7spoof-dopa5-v1.3.zip)
reboot (ignore any "fix root" prompt - it's incorrect)
f2fs / ext4 Migration
This DoPa ROM gives you the flexibility to format any of your built-in partitions using either the f2fs or ext4 file systems.
As part of your install - or at any time - you can switch formats without losing any data. Click "show content" for instructions.
If you haven't already installed TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery, please do so first.
TWRP
make a backup to your external SD card
select Wipe then Advanced Wipe
select the partition to reformat, then tap Repair or Change File System
on the next screen, tap Change File System, then F2FS (or EXT4 to restore the default file system)
swipe the slider below to start formatting
when done, use the Restore option on the main screen to restore the contents of the partitions you reformatted
Philz
make a nandroid backup to your external SD card
select Wipe and Format Options, then Custom Format Options
select toggle f2fs <-> ext4 migration
- be sure there's a confirmation message at the bottom of the screen
select each partition you want to convert or wipe, then select the format and OK your choice
Important: to convert your /data partition, you must select format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)!!!
use Custom Restore from /storage/sdcard1 to restore the contents of the partitions you reformatted
Changes since DoPa5 v1.2
Xposed and GravityBox - these staples of the DoPa KitKat ROMs are back and preinstalled to provide all the tweaks you want - and none of the ones you don't
ArchiDroid Optimizations - this version of Android was built using gcc 4.9 and is highly optimized thanks to settings provided by JustArchi. To help ensure stability, the kernel uses standard optimization levels but is better tuned to our Cortex A9 processor due to the use of linaro 4.9 (a version of gcc optimized for ARM processors).
No Odex-ing - odex-ing has been abandoned because Xposed recompiles all apps, making the .odex files redundant. There should now be enough space on the /system partition to install the TK-Gapps Micro package.
Adaptive Brightness - a longstanding bug that could cause the screen to go black has been fixed. Overall brightness levels have been adjusted to provide greater dynamic range in low lighting conditions.
Notes
Xposed - having the Xposed framework installed shouldn't cause any issues, but if you wish to remove it you can do so using the xposed-uninstaller available in the Xposed XDA thread. The Xposed Installer and GravityBox apps will remain but will be inactive - you can use a root-enabled filemanager to remove them if you wish.
Encryption - if you wish to encrypt your /data partition, you must first use Philz Recovery to format it. Using TWRP to format may cause the partition to become un-decrytable, resulting in the complete loss of all your data. This is NOT an issue if you don't plan to use encryption.
WiFi Display - end a WiFi Display session from your television, not the tablet; doing so from the tablet may cause it to lock up. Chromecast is reportedly not subject to this issue.
USB Audio - booting up with a USB audio device attached may result in a bootloop.
Gapps - due to limited space on the /system partition, the TK Gapps's "Mini Modular" and larger packages will not install. I suggest using the "Nano" package, then downloading those apps you really want from PlayStore.

Thx for all your hard work
on these tablet
Thx
ok, so I have a question or several as I remember them...
I noticed in Beta 4 that we were (or at least I was) suffering from the well documented play movies bug that was afflicting a number of 2013 Nexus 7 models.
Has this been fixed yet?
If not, is there a workaround?
If so, what is it?
I also noticed some performance and stability issues when using the performance tab along with apps like 3c Toolbox and System Tuner. Unfortunately, I did not see a way to use performance tab to overclock the gpu and leave the cpu clock stock so that I could tweak the system through the aforementioned apps.
Also, can the cpu be overclocked beyond 1.5 Ghz?
If so, is this already enabled, or is there some magic involved?
I really liked the beta 4 (beta r3) Rom and the way it looked, felt, and ran.
I found it to be better at managing free memory than kitkat in that I had at least 50% more free ram than Kitkat. I believe this contributed to some of the performance increase. But I had a hard time with the Google Play Movies bug. And some people were saying it was a general problem within the os's video subsystem.
Legend, keep up the great work
Excellent work! Looking forward to this!

I'm sorry I didn't know about this until you mentioned it. I'm too poor/cheap to buy stuff from Google Play Movies, so I'd never have learned about this on my own. Fortunately this was my day off, so I was able to spend the afternoon chasing down this bug. Here's the fix - install it from Recovery:
sero7pro-video-drm-fix-dopa5-v1.0.zip
I'll repackage the main ROM in the near future to include this fix, but first I want to investigate a few possible problems I noticed while getting this fixed.

Every time you display the Performance page, it will restore all parameters to the values you set previously. If 'Speed Control' is enabled, it will reset the CPU & GPU speeds, overriding values set by some other app. Your best bet is to turn it off. If neither of the apps you mention knows how to set the GPU speed, you can do so temporarily from a terminal or permanently from an init.d script like so:
Code:
echo -n 1250 > /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_level # "1200" is 448mhz - "1250" is 520mhz
echo -n 1 > /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_state
Also, can the cpu be overclocked beyond 1.5 Ghz?

Nope, not without extending the kernel's DVFS table further, then recompiling. Someone had it running at 1700mhz, but I'd consider that ..umm.. ill-advised for a chip that's intended to run at 1200-1300mhz.
Loving the first build. Very silky smooth speed and pretty stable as well as far as Lollipop is concerned at this point. As far as themes are concerned I haven't had too many issues using them on the current CM12 nightly for the Sero 7 Pro despite the DPI difference. Can't wait to see where this goes from here. Thanks for all the hard work! :highfive:

Well, on nVidia's page it recommend a maximum of 1.6 GHz, so 1.7 is not too much of an overboard if Hisense had built these units well enough. However, even with 1.5 GHz the chips is already running uncomfortably hot so it would be wise to back off from any higher clock. I do however think that the GPU of this tablet is a lacking a bit of oomph (ironically), is it possible to raise the clocks of the GPU beyond 520MHz? (granted that there would be a possibility of artifacts )

Being under that magic number of 10 posts, I couldn't post this in that main thread, and when I tried to post in the q&a thread where "reply" sent me, the forums bot catcher tripped me up.

To my knowledge, they don't, or at least I haven't figured that part out yet. Haven't figured it out in trickster mod either. I'll try the code. I only remember seeing one init.d file, does it matter where in that file I add the code?

The Tegra3 is a family of SoCs with models designed for mobile, automotive, and embedded use. Ours is the low-power mobile version. Some variants do have higher maximum clock speeds but they use more power at every frequency step than ours.
I do however think that the GPU of this tablet is a lacking a bit of oomph (ironically), is it possible to raise the clocks of the GPU beyond 520MHz?
Click to expand...

Possibly. The original overclock patch just upped the GPU speed to 520mhz without increasing the voltage any - and that seemed to work. When I rewrote the o/c code, I increased the voltage when running at 520mhz for what I considered solid reasons, Since it now has more power, I suspect I could up the speed somewhat without causing problems. However, even at a higher speed, it's still going to be an also-ran in today's market.

Having some other app set the CPU or GPU speeds isn't going to make it any more or less stable than having the built-in facility do it.
Be aware that if you're trying to use one of these apps to set the Interactive Governor's parameters, you're wasting your time. Not only does our Interactive Governor NOT work like you'd think - and not work like other implementations - it's totally ineffective. Every time the kernel brings another core online, it kicks all cores to the maximum allowed speed, totally sabotaging the governor's efforts. If you use Trickster to track the time at each speed, you'll see that the bulk of the time is spent either at very low speed or max speed, with all the intermediate speeds hardly used at all.
I only remember seeing one init.d file, does it matter where in that file I add the code?
Click to expand...

Create a new file named, f'rinstance. "02gpuspeed". Put "#!/system/bin/sh" on the first line, then the code I provided on the following lines. The files will be executed in alpha-numeric order: 00banner, 02gpuspeed, 99SuperSUDaemon. Be sure to set its permissions to '755' so it is executable.
I pretty well figured that would be the case, but...
Based on my somewhat limited understanding ,If you have a utility in the Rom trying to manage the cpu speeds, and an app trying to do the same with me "choosing" to use the performance governor, conflicts are bound tio arise. Based on my pc understanding, conflict equals poor performance and instability.
And it was honestly one where I was using performance settings for the gpu, and then one of the other apps for the cpu.
So, I found that if I simply turned off the performance settings and lived with the lower gpu clock, my system ran stable. So I was asking about how to get the higher gpu clock without using the cpu overclock portion of the performance tab.
You pretty well answered that, and I thank you.
Now, do I need to include the bit in the code at the end of the first line where it says 1200 is 448, and 1250 is 520?
Also, I don't understand setting permissions to 755. I understand setting read, write, own, etc, but not 755, if that's the case, then what app do I use for that? I created the file as a blank text document on my tablet directly and input the code there, then rebooted. Or did I screw the pooch on that one?
Sadly, I know nothing about the individual governor settings within each governor configuration. Therefore, I figure that the wisest and safest course of action is to leave it alone. It's easier and safer to work with the stuff I DO know until I can get feedback and advice from someone who DOES know.
I realize that some of this may seem stupid to you, but it's the only way I know to learn.
I will make another post later when I have more time to comment on some other things I keep seeing and would like to know what to do there.

The CPU/GPU settings on the Performance page are set-and-forget values. They simply set the maximum speeds once bootup is done, and again when you display that page. They don't monitor anything - the CPU governor does that, and it is constrained by these settings. The corresponding settings in the other apps you've tried operate the same way.
You should be aware that the "performance" governor is really no governor at all. It simply sets the processor to the maximum permitted speed and never changes it. On the whole, this governor generates more heat than performance.
I found that if I simply turned off the performance settings and lived with the lower gpu clock, my system ran stable.

This strongly suggests that your device really can't handle the higher speed - at least when the CPU is running full-bore at all times. You may want to search for the postings in some of the early S7P threads where people described attaching copper foil to the SoC to dissipate excess heat.

Anything after a '#' in a shell script is a comment. As to '755', that's "read/write/execute" for the owner, and "read/execute" for the group and other users. Do a search for the 'chmod' command for more details on setting and interpreting Unix permissions.
Ok, that's fair enough.
Occasionally, I'll boot and get an error that the process called system is not responding and then it wants to know if I want to wait, or close it. It will do this every subsequent boot until I wipe cache and Dalvik (because I end up doing both out of habit) from recovery and then all is well again for several boot cycles where we start up again.
What am I missing here?
Are we free to discuss RRO theming for the S7P in this thread for now? I have been following BitSyko Development for a week or so and opted into the Layers beta and so on. I will be spending some time this week to figure this all out.

Since I'm not familiar with RRO theming how is this different from the themes released for say CM12 and the like?

Of course you're welcome to discuss RRO - especially since it gives me an opening to throw in my 2 cents
Runtime Resource Overlays provides a way to override and/or replace the "resources" (icons, layouts, colors, strings, and fixed values) that are built into an .apk file. Since the resources used by Android itself are packaged into an .apk, you can modify the OS as well as individual applications.
RRO has been around for a long time but no one other than Sony ever used it. BitSyko's greatest contribution has been to make people aware that it's a superior way to do theming which is already built into the OS and is fairly easy to use. Unlike CM's theme engine, no custom code is required.
Beyond that, their contribution is somewhat less revolutionary than their many admirers seem to think. Their efforts are directed primarily at ease of use. The Layers app is essentially a file manager that makes copying themes into place a bit easier. What the app does you can do yourself using ESFileExplorer or ADB (though without some niceties they've added).
Their tweaks to the OS are designed to make life a bit easier for themers by changing hard-coded color values into "symbolic references". In other words, rather than specifying the color for each checkbox, you say each one should be the "checkbox_color", then define what that means somewhere else. That way, rather than having to modify the color of many different checkboxes, you change the definition of "checkbox_color" once and they all become that color.
Now, as to what all this means to the Sero 7 Pro and the DoPa5 v1.0 ROM... I delayed the ROM's release for several days until I could get their patches in place and tested, so this facility is in there and ready for use. The problem is that none of the themes I've seen really support the S7P. Any color changes a theme makes will show up just fine (I'm using someone's orange theme currently). However, all the icons are targeted at higher resolution screens than ours, so the OS ignores them and uses the same ones it has always used. If you can find themes for the Nexus 7, or some of the older Asus or HP tablets that also have a 1280*800 screen (213dpi), they should work just fine.
FYI... if you want to install a theme without using Layers, create an 'overlay' directory in '/system/vendor' (i.e. '/system/vendor/overlay'). Next, get some theme packages from this thread and unzip them. Select the .apk files you want, copy them into the 'overlay' directory, then reboot. If you don't like the result, delete them and reboot again.
Perfect explanation @dolorespark on RRO. I'm hoping eventually some kind of dark holo blue theme is made for RRO as all I really need is the color scheme.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
This thread is for Official LineageOS 14.1 builds for chagallwifi (SM-T800) The following will not be supported here:
Custom kernels
Mods
Xposed
I don't support Xposed and any logcat which includes a Xposed module will be ignored. You're kindly invited to not report bugs if you:
Flashed a custom kernel
Installed or did mods from untrusted sources
Modified system files
Have not attempted a clean flash
First time flashing LineageOS 14.1 on your device, or coming from another ROM?
Download the zip(s)
Install a compatible Recovery
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
Wipe data/factory reset
Flash LineageOS
Install the Google Apps addon package (Optional)
Reboot
Make sure you have the Marshmallow bootloader. Guide is in the comments below.
There will be a new build every week, every Monday.
The builds will no longer be personally tested by me before being uploaded (but everything will probably be fine)
Change logs will no longer be posted within every new build, but instead when the changes are uploaded to GitHub. I will try though to post changes for major bugs or fixes as they are released.
Some builds might feature only minor changes, ie. only updating the LineageOS source

How to update to Marshmallow bootloader (required for 20170324 and later builds)
Updating the bootloader is very quick and doesn't wipe data or repartition the device.
If the last Samsung ROM you had was 6.0.1 Touchwiz, you already have Marshmallow bootloader and don't need to follow these steps. (If you were on MM, and it still won't boot, follow the steps below)
1. Download the bootloader-only Odin package: T800XXU1CPK2.tar.md5
This has the latest Marshmallow bootloader (December 2016)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767146298
2. Download Odin 3.11
You can skip this if you already have a working Odin
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298937183
3. Shutdown your tablet and start it up by holding Power+Home+Volume Down to enter Download Mode. Volume Down is the one right next to the power button. Really shut it down and use this key combination, if you use Advanced Restart, or go into download mode via TWRP the bootloader won't change.
4. Make sure the screen of your tablet has a green android symbol with a "Downloading..." text
5. Open Odin3_v3.11.1.exe and follow the instructions in this image:
If anything is missing, you WON'T flash bootloader successfully.
6. Click Start. Your tablet will automatically reboot back into your ROM.
7. To verify you have the new bootloader, you can run in terminal emulator "getprop ro.bootloader". It should say T800XXU1CPK2.
Thanks @ZakooZ for the post!

Looking forward to testing it out
Thank you very much for your work!
It doesn't works for me, I only see boot animation and it doesn't start even after 20 minutes. I tried Paulicat version and works fine. Whi? I did a clean flash.
Same for me. Bootllop after flashing ROM and latest Gapps (nano).
Yeah, bootlooping.

I installed with a full wipe (including internal sdcard), using latest pico gapps.
No issues...
I also recently updated my bootloader to Mashmallow, but I doubt that's what makes mine bootup while some bootloop.
Bootlooping? How far does it boot ?
Please be 100% certain that you wiped dalvik, system, data and cache in twrp and try flashing without gapps. Did you change anything such as flash custom kernels etc?
Could one of you take a logcat during boot for me please. It has to be user error seeing as mine is working fine, and others are working fine. The number of downloads - complaints shows that.
Just plug your tablet into you PC while it's booting (make sure you have adb installed)
Then , once you start to see the screentype adb logcat into your terminal (./adb logcat if windows or Linux)
Thanks
Just upgrade from @Paulicat's Jan 17th build to this Jan 25th build; just flashed lineage, open gapps nano and SuperSU (in that order, in one go) and rebooted.
Looks like the video problems of the previous release are not present here; I can now play YouTube Videos at high res and use the HW codecs of MX Player without stuttering; previously I had to drop from 1080p to 720p or use the MX+ codecs to make it play smooth.
The WebView component apparently still have problems; using for instance FlipBoard to read articles causes a crash/weird screen flickering from time to time, associated with a crash. The log reports a WebView crash (there's first a "OpenGLRenderer: GL error: Out of memory!" followed by a google-breakpad dump of "WebView:55.0.2883.105" "A arm 04 armv7l samsung/lineage_chagallwifi/chagallwifi:7.1.1/NMF26V/e609fadfba:userdebug/test-keys" "webview" "OpenGL ES 3.0|ARM|Mali-T628" and a long hex dump.
Finally, GPS does not work out of the box; the gpsd still misses a few libraries. I've copied them from elsewhere (RR, if I recall correctly) and have placed libsec-ril.so and libxml.so in /system/lib -- and then GPS works instantly (as far as I can tell it may lock on faster than on the previous build).
I guess the WebView has to be fixed upstream, but maybe the missing gps related libraries could be included in the next build?
Thanks for your great work!

The WebView component apparently still have problems; using for instance FlipBoard to read articles causes a crash/weird screen flickering from time to time, associated with a crash. The log reports a WebView crash (there's first a "OpenGLRenderer: GL error: Out of memory!" followed by a google-breakpad dump of "WebView:55.0.2883.105" "A arm 04 armv7l samsung/lineage_chagallwifi/chagallwifi:7.1.1/NMF26V/e609fadfba:userdebug/test-keys" "webview" "OpenGL ES 3.0|ARM|Mali-T628" and a long hex dump.
Finally, GPS does not work out of the box; the gpsd still misses a few libraries. I've copied them from elsewhere (RR, if I recall correctly) and have placed libsec-ril.so and libxml.so in /system/lib -- and then GPS works instantly (as far as I can tell it may lock on faster than on the previous build).
I guess the WebView has to be fixed upstream, but maybe the missing gps related libraries could be included in the next build?
Thanks for your great work!

Glad most things is working for you!
Yep, this build has a more updated device tree then what Paulicat had so there are a few fixes!
GPSD is being investigated by @deadman96385 and should be an easy enough implementation
Thats the first time I have heard about the webview implementation, would you mind sending a full log? Thanks for letting us know!

So far, it's better -- also appears more "smooth" and fluid in use, I think

Yep, possibly just a few missing libraries or a different linking method, or something. Good you're working with @deadman96385 on this also; he already responded to this in the other thread when I debugged and reported it related to the previous build.
Wiped all for 3 times, it doesn't boot.

My T800 is currently happily running the now out of date [AOSP 7.0][T700/T705/T800/T805] by @Schischu so I'm looking to upgrade. Here are apps I'd like to know work before I give this ROM a try. If anyone can tell me if they work or not I'd appreciate it. If any of them are considered mods I apologize in advance as I've read the OP mods policy. In any case I'd never ask for their support or inclusion in the ROM as that's my responsibility.
Here's my list:
Viper4Android
Substratum
LastPass (some other 7.1.1 ROMs have issues with this app)
Netflix
Plex

ROM Index (#2) | Kernel Index (#3) | Changelog (#4)
Whaddup, XDA? ^_^
This began as a modest little post, aptly named Post#3333 in the Resurrection Remix thread to help keeping the thread clean. Many thanks to @varund7726 for his support and making it the official RR Bacon FAQ!
It gained more attention than I thought it would so I decided to make a more general version in a dedicated thread.
This is not my work but a collection of answers by amazing people that roam these digital lands. Of course, I do appreciate you clicking that Thank you button . I hope people looking for answers will find their way here. If someone has any input, feel free to drop it in the thread or send me a PM and I'll update the post if needed. It may be best to not ask new questions here, you'll find more satisfying answers in the appropriate threads of the custom ROM you're using or in the general Help thread.
Now, let's get this out of the way first:
Code:
What are you reading this for? There isn't a single Bacon owner with valid warranty anymore. Anyway, here's the original disclaimer:
You have the [U]right[/U] to unlock your device, not the [U]obligation[/U] to do so.
Anything you flash can and will be used against you in a court of technical dispute.
If you get your device bricked, you will [B]not[/B] be provided with a new one.
If your mother in law disappears as a result of something mentioned in this thread,
I will happily take your donations to thank me but I will not be held responsible!
Mind that this is – and probably will continue to be – a work in progress.
This is an attempt to collect general solutions, which will not always work in every case.
Please DO NOT QUOTE THIS ENTIRE POST! Thanks.

1. GENERAL
1.a. How can this FAQ help me? Why did you make this?
My goal is to maintain a one-size-fits-all thread where people can find answers to the most common current problems for the OnePlus One a.k.a. Bacon. It also serves as a detailed guide through the flashing process. The reason I'm doing this is threefold: 1) Despite the fact that this is a 2014 device, the 1+1 community is still booming. Best proof of that is that our very own Bacon is by far the most popular device for LineageOS with currently over 80,000 installs! I'd love to honor that fact. 2) This is my first support thread, I hope to learn a great deal from it. 3) I honestly enjoy helping people =)
1.b. Why isn’t anyone helping me?
Keep in mind that XDA is not your personal tech support. The idea is that we help each other as a community, not to expect an immediate answer to your problem. If you do not add any useful technical information to your query, your post may not be considered, this is even more so the case in development threads.
There are three ways (that can be combined) to achieve a technically sound post:
Attach a logcat! See 1.c. on how to do this.
Provide screenshots, especially handy with aesthetic issues.
Provide the exact steps to reproduce the problem (be VERY specific).
Tip: use the time that you’re waiting for an answer to find it yourself. If you managed to resolve it yourself, follow-up on your own post and explain how you did it, it may be helpful to other users in the future.
1.c. Creating a logcat
This'll only take a minute and may provide invaluable information for any developer or someone trying to help. There are a number of ways to create them, this tutorial explains a remote technique. I do believe this is the easiest way:
Download CatLog from the Play Store
Make sure you have a dedicated 'menu' button (CatLog is old skool)
Run the app, give it root rights, [optional] pause the current flow with the pause button and then clear the window tapping the circle with the X in the middle top right (this will provide peace of mind, the constant stream can be a bit overwhelming)
Tap the menu button, press Record followed by OK. Any activity is now being recorded
Press your home key and launch the app that's giving you trouble, let the crash happen and repeat it a few times
Drag down notifications and tap the cat, it'll state "select to stop recording"
CatLog will now show you what it has recorded, use the search feature to check if no privacy sensitive information (your e-mail, a phone number etc.) has been collected, you can edit this out manually with a text editor if needed
You can simply tap the menu key again and select Send to share the log, this feature will also add device info (brand, model, Android version ...)
If you'd like to share it manually or want to make some edits first, you'll find the file in [internal storage]/catlog/saved_logs
2. PREPARING
2.a. EXT4 vs. F2FS
A lot can be said about filesystems but I won't go into any technical debates on here. The main difference boils down to this:
F2FS is arguably faster than EXT4; EXT4 is arguably more stable than F2FS.
In real use performance, not much difference will be noticed in terms of speed. Since the release of Oreo for Bacon, however, stability on F2FS has decreased drastically or it is unsupported entirely. If you have never changed this yourself, the system will most likely be formatted to EXT4. You can check with DiskInfo or in recovery. In case you want to run Nougat on F2FS or you want to return to EXT4 but forgot how, here's a refresher:
In recovery, go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select a single partition
Tap “Repair or Change File System” (if you see “Invalid partition selection” appearing, it means the partition’s file system cannot be changed
On top you can see the current file system, tap “Change File System” followed by the one you want (stick to either EXT4 or F2FS)
Swipe to confirm
I found this XDA article (interview with Francisco Franco) quite interesting on this topic.
2.b. What else do I need? (Prerequisites)
A good working TWRP
The ROM zip of your choosing
Gapps (ARM/8.1/nano, there are plenty alternatives, check with your ROM maker which one is advised)
last CM13 snapshot (only if you didn't have CM13 before)
You should place all downloaded files in the root of your internal storage (/sdcard). It's stongly recommended to check md5 hashes! In case of Gapps, download the md5 checksum file and place it together with the zip.
2.c. C6 or C7, which is the best firmware? (troubleshooting network issues)
None. There are mixed results on both, depending on which network(s) you use. Which one works best for you? The only way to find out is by flashing one of the three versions below (that differs from your current version, check under About phone > Baseband version. The recommended one for most users is C6-00241 (the most likely one you currently have).
Here are three very common firmwares and a Frankenstein release:
Download DI.3.0.c6-00241
Download 4.0.1.c7-00013 (2016)
Download 4.0.1.c7-00011 (2016)
@MrSHME's Frankenstein Release
[instructions and credits]
There's a whole load of them available in this thread. I've done some elaborated testing there, read my findings here.
Important note when flashing firmware: backup your modem and EFS partitions first! It may happen that the system hangs in boot animation after a firmware flash (I experienced this a few times). Give it some time and it should automatically boot back to recovery. In recovery, reboot back to system (don't do any wiping or anything) and it should boot just fine. If the system keeps hanging for over 20 minutes, manually force a shutdown (long press power) and try booting regularly again. Still no luck? Boot to recovery and flash other firmware or restore your modem backup.
2.d. What kernel should I use?
You don't have to use any. Want to take the plunge anyway? Sure, check out post #3 for a list. You can make a backup of your kernel/blobs with Flashify
Read (much much) more about tweaking in this excellent guide by @Saber
3. FLASHING
Always make a nandroid backup before you flash anything!
3.a. Installing TWRP
Before flashing anything, make sure you are using a compatible TWRP! You'll find a download link to the one I'm using in this FAQ, I'll keep it updated. I know this is basic information but to avoid any mistakes, I'm providing all needed steps:
Download a TWRP .img file
Move it to the adb (official download) folder where adb and fastboot exe's are located
[this is no requirement but let's do this for the clarity of these steps] rename it to recovery.img
Reboot device into fastboot via advanced reboot menu, 'adb reboot bootloader' command or – if the device is off – press and hold "Power + Volume UP" until "Fastboot Mode" appears
Setup the correct drivers and connect the device to the PC/Mac
Open a command line (terminal on Mac I guess) in the adb folder
type "fastboot devices" to see if the system picks up the device
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash TWRP
Disconnect the device from the PC
Press and hold power until the device turns off
Hold "Power + Volume DOWN" to boot into the newly flashed TWRP recovery
3.b. How to flash
Always make a nandroid backup before you flash anything!
Clean Flash:
In TWRP, wipe by swiping factory settings. If you're experiencing issues, it's best to do a full wipe (Advanced > select System + Data + Cache + Dalvik-ART Cache)
[optional] Flash last CM13 snapshot and do another full wipe. This step is crucial when you've never been on CM13 before. This flash will fix/prevent a wide variety of issues! You only need to do this once.
Flash the ROM zip
[optional] Flash a custom kernel
Flash Gapps (ARM/nano, version should be the same as ROM), check Gapps compatibility in ROM thread.
[optional] If root is desired, flash Magisk (stable or beta)
[optional] Flash other mods
Wipe Cache/Dalvik-ART Cache and reboot
Dirty Flash (update):
Reboot to TWRP
Flash the ROM zip
Wipe Cache/Dalvik-ART Cache and reboot
Semi-Dirty Flash:
This is basically the clean flash procedure but you backup the /data partition before wiping and restore it afterwards (or don't wipe /data at all). I do not recommend this method.
Example (my flashing procedure for a specific Oreo ROM):
Download ROM and Open Gapps to root. Check ROM md5 hash with MiXplorer
Backup all user apps + a few system elements (messages, call logs etc.) with TitaniumBackup (+pro key)
Copy the TitaniumBackup folder to my PC
Reboot to latest TWRP, create Nandroid backup of System and Data (sometimes copy that one to PC as well)
Wipe /system + /data + /cache + /art-dalvik cache
Flash ROM + Gapps + OP5 camera mod + iYTBP + Magisk beta (all in one go), wipe caches after flashing and reboot
I let Google setup install all apps, then restore app data with TiBu, this feels more clean
Restore system elements with TiBu + apply AdAway lists + restore Android ID (for my banking app) and reboot
Enjoy awesomeness!
This seems like a lot of work but it doesn't take more than an hour. Since releases are currently pretty far apart, it's only a small effort for many days of smooth sailing. If release frequency would increase, I wouldn't make a Nandroid and wouldn't copy everything to PC every single time. If I don't have Wi-Fi for some reason, I restore all apps + data with TiBu instead of using Google setup.
3.c. I'm seeing two red errors in TWRP while flashing
They are LOS related and have no effect on the flash procedure, don't worry about it, you can safely ignore them.
3.d. I'm getting an error while flashing Gapps
Error 70: You're trying to flash a package that is too large such as Stock. Try a smaller package.
Error 64: Wrong architecture, you need an ARM package, not ARM64/x86/x86_64.
Error 20: Wrong version, you need 6.x for Marshmallow, 7.x for Nougat
3.d. I dirty flashed and something doesn't work anymore
Please do not inquire about issues after (semi-)dirty flashing. The first step for you to take is to perform a clean flash. If the issue is still present and it hasn't been posted before (PLEASE use search!), then post your inquiry in the ROM thread.
4. CRITICAL
4.a. My screen is going black, I can only see notifications
This behavior is caused when a profile has lock screen disabled. The only way to recover from this condition is to clean flash, or restore a backup that was made prior to setting up the profile. It may be possible to reboot successfully if one is in a location or situation that triggers a profile that doesn't have lock screen disabled, then change the problem profile settings (unconfirmed).
4.b. My device just exploded!
It's most likely unrelated to a software problem but please, feel free to share pictures!
4.c. The other person (nearly) can't hear me during a call
Can't be heard
In /system/build.prop, change
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
to
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none
Edit /system/etc/audio_platform_info.xml (in Oreo this file moved to /system/vendor/etc)
<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="40" />
to
<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_HANDSET_MIC" acdb_id="4" />
Audio comes out low
remove
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence
change
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false
(flashable version)
Reboot.
Still having problems? Test your sensors and mic more thoroughly with an app like this, there may be a hardware failure. Before opening her up, you can do a last software check by trying another ROM or by returning to 100% stock.
4.d. I have another audio/microphone problem
Please refer to the OnePlus One Audio Mods Collection, a genious collection of all sorts of fixes and workarounds to achieve fully featured audio on the OPO.
4.e. Can't read or write to internal storage (/sdcard)
Your /sdcard partition is most likely corrupt! Now what? When this happens to /system or /data we can simply perform a clean flash. Wiping our internal storage, however, means wiping a lot of precious data that is not included in a Nandroid backup so it's crucial to make regular backups manually. A lot of trouble can be avoided with cloud syncing (Dropbox, Google Photos, etc.). When read/write errors present themselves (camera can't save photos, not enough space errors while there's plenty, folders disappear, etc.) it's important to work fast before all your data becomes unavailable indefinitely. Here's how you can reset your internal storage in a non-destructive manner:
Copy the entire content of your internal storage (/sdcard) to an external location (PC or OTG drive). Make sure the real important things are immortalized (e.g. your cat photos/videos are synced with Google Photos and/or are trending on YouTube)!
Reboot to TWRP
You may want to create a nandroid backup at this point but do not forget to copy the backup to your PC or make the backup via OTG as we're about to wipe the internal storage (and with it, all internal backups)
Go to Wipe > Advanced and select only Internal storage, confirm to wipe (you may experience some discomfort at this point, this is normal)
Reboot to TWRP (from recovery to recovery, that's right)
Now copy all content back from the folder on your computer to the internal storage. You should be able to do this simply over USB while TWRP is active. If you don't, go to the main TWRP menu, tap 'Mount' followed by 'Enable MTP'
When the copy is complete, reboot to System and your trouble should be gone!
We're doing the wipe AND the restore inside recovery because if you would boot your device with an empty /sdcard partition, the Android system and all running apps would start freaking out and get going on all sorts of crazy, recreating their folders and files.
Tip: this is the perfect opportunity to sieve through those files! I recommend not just copying everything back but only the things you still need. Exclude folders of apps that aren't installed anymore and skip unused media files. This will decrease the chance of future corruption. Take some time to make your internal storage shipshape!
5. QUICK FIXES
5.a. The camera app can't connect to the camera
If you flashed something like OxygenOS Blobs, your camera will not work unless you set SELinux to Permissive. You should find this in your ROM settings (e.g. for RR this is under Settings > Configurations > Miscellaneous > Selinux mode > Permissive) or you can easily do this with SELinuxModeChanger.
Why this is a bad idea: SELinux or Security Enhanced Linux prevents malicious apps from gaining unlimited system level access by exploiting security holes. By setting it to Permissive, you’re disabling this extra layer of security. Infections due to this are rare but do happen, you’ve been informed.
5.b. Google Assistant isn't working or "OK Google" detection fails (this may be obsolete by now, please notify me if it is)
See 4.c., “Audio comes out low”.
5.c. QS toggle 'drops' when trying to add it
This may happen when attempting to add one of the lower QS toggles. There are two ways to work around this bug:
By lowering the display size: go to Settings > Accessibility > Display size (or under custom ROM configurations) and change it to Smaller or Smallest
By messing around: move icons from the top to the QS panel until you're able to slide the QS toggle you need without 'dropping' it
This video shows it works fine:
6. OTHER
6.a. How do I apply themes and which ones can I use?
OMS compatible ROMs only! To start, install Substratum from the Play Store, open it and grant it root rights (both substratum and masquerade). Then search the Play Store for substratum themes that are compatible with your Android version. Some will cost you something but most are really worth it and there are some great free ones as well. After installing a theme, apply it in Substratum. Don't forget to read the theme creator's instructions, some combinations can cause trouble!
6.b. Fast/Quick Charge isn't working
That's because the OnePlus One doesn't support it. You can, however, tweak charging rates with kernel tweaks (which is still limited, don't expect dash charge speeds). Equip yourself with proper hardware. A ‘smart’ charging station and quality cables can go a long way. Mind that faster charging is not better charging per se. You may shorten the lifespan of your battery when pushing it to the limits. Charging with the official charger/cable (which should take about 2 hours from 0 to 100%) is still the best way to treat your battery. Also note that if you got your device back in 2014, there's a good chance your battery doesn't have its full capacity anymore, longer charge rates and shorter lifespans can be expected. That being said, the OPO was equipped with a kickass quality battery, even after abusing it for all these years, many users have reported it still works great!
7. MODS
7.a. ViPER4Android
Since Magisk is more widely adopted, installing V4A has become very easy.
In Magisk Manager, tap the three lines top left
Tap Downloads
Scroll down to ViPER4Android FX and tap the download icon
Tap Install followed by Reboot
Once booted, go into Magisk > Downloads again
ViPER will now be on top, tap it
You'll find a link to the latest APK, download and install it
That's it. Open it and change all the settings you want, then reboot once more to make sure it all runs fine.
7.b. Camera mods
The OnePlus 5 camera software has been ported (download here) to Bacon and it works great, this is my current favourite.
Great camera mod: CameraNextModV2. It's just a simple flash away.
Not much of a mod but a Camera app optimized for our OPO: Bacon Camera!.
And good to know: Google Camera 4.1.006.135988111 is the last compatible version for Bacon.

Howdy! I've been away (or at least very inactive) for a few weeks due to family vacation and other stuff – including two quite tragic events. That's life I guess
Anyway, interesting development seems to be never ending for this amazing device. The immortality of Bacon has yet again been confirmed with the release of PIE! This was predicted by my teenage antiheroes "Weebl and Bob" back in 2002; they are true visionaries :')
That's not one (KitKat), not two (Lollipop), not three (Marshmallow), not four (Nougat), not five (Oreo) but SIX (PIE!) major Android iterations that have seen light on this chunck of awesomeness. At this rate we might even see Android Queijadinha on the OPO! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's celebrate and enjoy Pie's release first. Time to take a P (Captain Underpants, anyone?). Tra-la-laaa!
Created "PIE!!!!!" section
Added POSP to both Oreo and Pie sections
Added PixysOS
Updated Oreo titles.
2018-05-25
Added Cosmic-OS
Updated all ROM Index Oreo titles
The legendary AOSP by the equally legendary @Agent_fabulous is being discontinued more to come, though?...

I am planning on a clean flash soon and often refer to your guide as the best source. After all it is titled "The Ultimate OnePlus Guide", so it must be true.
May I request that you begin updating posts #1-#4 to include Oreo? I find the tips you posted here (link) helpful.

Initial post for Sailfish Os for the Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) device.
Code:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!! W A R N I N G !!
!! !!
!!(Although I am using this on my backup phone)!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!! Everything you do, !!
!! you do at your own peril and risk. !!
!! !!
!! I do not bear any responsibility !!
!! for your faulty devices. !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!! !!
!! ROM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR DAILY DRIVE !!
!! ONLY FOR EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES !!
!! !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Making this port was challenging because Sailfish OS, from version 3, doesn't support kernel version 3.0 which is apparently the kernel on the S2.
Fortunately, the SailfishOS-porter guys do very seriously know their business and they are extremely helpful.
From here I would like to emphasize my gratitude towards them for helping me in this project! Thank you!
Requirements:
Before you start to download anything, please read it carefully.
The first requirement is your device must be rooted and you should be able to install a custom recovery (preferably TWRP) onto it.
For this ROM you can either use the stock partitions or you can re-partition to give more space to /system and /data. It doesn't matter which one you chose, I tried and both worked well.
Or if you scroll down to the New partition layout, you can use a completely unique partition layout which gives the most of the internal storage to Sailfish OS. (I currently use my device with this setup.)
Installation instructions:
1. Download all files, CM12.1 zip, Sailfish OS zip, twrp2.8.7.img and kernel*.img to the external SD card on the phone
2. Reboot into TWRP (hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up)
3. Do a factory reset
At this point if you want you can repartition the S2 internal storage. (Later you can put the stock layout back if you want to go back to Android.)
The steps for repartitioning are:
Download the 'Repartition: System=1GB, Data=14GB, eMMC=8MB, /preload=7MB' or the 'Repartition: System=1GB, Data=4GB, eMMC=7GB, /preload=0.5GB' .zip file and put into the external SD card. (The difference between these two is explained down at the New partition layout section
Then boot into TWRP and flash the zip as any other zip file. The script first will warn you that it cannot do the partitioning with mounted partitions and it also copies the script itself into /tmp. You just simply need to flash the copied version from /tmp and that will do the trick. The script will format the new partitions accordingly, so once it is completed you can go ahead with the next step.
4. Still in recovery, flash the CM12.1 image
5. Still in recovery, flash Sailfish Os image
6. Still in recovery, flash twrp2.8.7.img to recovery partition
7. Still in recovery, flash kernel*.img to boot partition (this step is not required since sfos 4.4, kernel is installed by flashing the zip file)
8. Reboot
9. Enjoy the latest (4.4.0.68) Sailfish OS on your i9100.
You will need patience as the first boot will take for a while. Then you can go through the initial Sailfish OS set up.
This Sailfish OS Android HAL based on CM 12.1.

Apps from Openrepos
Apart from the Jolla store there are plenty of other, community-made apps in Openrepos. There is a user-friendly app to install/remove apps from this source called Storeman. It can be downloaded and install from this location: Storeman
Debug/login/troubleshooting:
In Ubuntu, connect USB cable. telnet 192.168.2.15 2323 or SSH [email protected].
Notes:
On Sailfish OS, as it is a Linux system, you cannot install/run any android apps.
How to make a backup/restore with TWRP:
Now the old clunky method is no longer needed. Once you flashed the twrp2.8.7.img to the recovery partition you can boot into TWRP with the usual button combination (Hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up) and can make backup/restore.
Instructions for Bluetooth (On Sfos 4.3, BT works normally, don't need this magic)
BT works however turning it on/off is not as user friendly as I hoped. Here is a little instruction/troubleshooting.
Turn BT on (It only works from Settings/Bluetooth!!!!! DON'T try from TOP MENU!!):
If BT hasn't turned on since last boot:
go to Settings/Bluetooth
tap on the dot next to the Bluetooth option
If BT has turned on at least once since last boot:
go to Settings/Bluetooth and tap on the dot next to the Bluetooth option
go back to Settings
go to into Settings/Bluetooth again
tap on the dot next to the Bluetooth option (if it is not turned on repeat from Step 2! Eventually, BT should turn on.)
Turning BT off: Go to Settings/Bluetooth and tap on the white dot next to the Bluetooth option.
Notice: Never try to tap on the white dot twice without going back to the main menu of Settings.
Never try to turn BT on from Top Menu.
However, if you accidentally did any of these BT cannot be turned on again unless you:
reboot the device (this is the easiest) or
in a command line as root issue the following command 'systemctl restart bluetooth-rfkill-event.service' (this will restart the bluetooth-rfkill-event service)
I am not sure how pairing works with different devices.
New partition layout
I mentioned that I tried this Sailfish OS installation with the stock partitions and with another what created for Android 7.1.2. With the stock partitions however was a bit more sluggish than the other one. No wonder as in the stock partitions the /system has only 0.5GB and the /data has only 2GB storage and the rest 12GB is the separate internal storage (eMMC). In Sailfish the entire os (rootfs) including all directories (like /home) live on the /data partition so the 2GB was a bit tight. (The OS itself consumes about 1GB so not much left for apps and other stuff.)
With the other partition layout, the picture was a bit better as the /system had 1GB, the /data got 4GB and the rest 9GB remained for the internal storage. But the partition where the OS lives was separated from the 9GB partition. When I installed a few apps and copied some big files into the /home, I felt the limitation very soon.
Although this layout was sufficient for android but not good enough for Sailfish.
Therefore I have created my own partition table where I restructured the sizes accordingly to my need. (The lanchon repit zip file is available in the download section.)
In this new layout I gave 1GB for the /system (the prior 0.5GB was also fine as the CM12.1 base consumed only 400MB which let a 100MB free space, but I thought that might be not enough in the future so I have chosen 1GB here), I gave only 8MB for the internal storage (eMMC which is mounted into /android directory in this rom), and this made me possible to gave all the rest 14GB to the /data partition. So basically the Sailfish apps and /home can utilize the entire internal storage.
As an extra, on the S2 there is a 0.5GB /preload partition which is hidden and unused by default. In my partition setup I set 7MB to this and the rest almost 0.5GB is also added to the /data.
Go back to stock partitions
In case you would like to do this, you can download the stock partition pit file from the download section.
For this use Odin v1.83 which is also in the download section.
The steps are:
Boot the device into download mode and connect to the PC.
Open Odin v1.83 and tick the 'Re-partition' checkbox at the Option.
Then click on the PIT button and select the downloaded stock pit file.
Then click on the PDA button and select the downloaded TWRP (AOSP kernel) file.
Then click on start.
Done. You need to boot into TWRP and wipe all partitions (system, data, emmc) then you can install the stock rom back. (or if you select the stock rom at PDA instead of the AOSP kernel, it will do the repartition and install the stock rom as well. In this case, you don't need to wipe anything and the device will reboot into the stock Android at the end.)
Changelog:
15.02.2022
=========
General advice:
Patience! All (except camera) apps do start and work but they do need time. This is true for websites. When you clicked on something, wait patiently, eventually, it will start/load.
Work:
Same as previously
Improvement: Stock browser stable and works!
Do not work:
The camera app crashes the device into reboot.
03.09.2021
=========
Work:
Same as previously
Bluetooth does work, but once it is off, needs to be toggled a few times in Settings to make it turn on again.
14.06.2020
=========
Work:
Same as previously + Mobile data is fixed! (To make it work: change Protocol to IP in Settings/Mobile network/Data access point.)
Bluetooth doesn't work, it is still WIP
Do not work:
Same as previously
06.05.2020
=========
The latest version of Sailfish OS 3.3.0.16 is available to download. This requires a different kernel. Both of these can be found in the download section.
Note: With the new version the patch that displays the provider logo at the bottom on the lock screen stopped working. This issue is not related to the OS. The owner of the app should fix it.
Update: In openrepos Kodi is fixed for SFOS 3.3.0.16!
29.04.2020
=========
Work:
Screen
Touch
IMEI number is detected
Sensors (GPS, Rotation, Acceleration, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, Light & Proximity)
Wifi
MTP
Bluetooth (instruction is above)
Calls incoming/outgoing
Messages incoming/outgoing
External SD card detected and mounted to /run/media/nemo/_sdcard_name_ (where _sdcard_name_ is name of the sd card when it was formatted like 7C97-785B)
Internal SD card is mounted to /android
Pixel ratio and icons set to 1.00 (Can be changed to 0.82 which is more appropriate for the device's screen. to do this as root run the 'kimmoli-diyicons.sh 0.82' command. It will fail to install imagemagick but will set the ratio to 0.82 and as we have all icons in place it will work.)
Audio is routed to headphone if that presents
Camera front/rear (only for taking pictures)
Jolla store
findutils is installed by default (updatedb and locate commands work out of the box)
Torch
the charging icon does work properly, however, there is a little delay
can boot into TWRP recovery with the usual button combination (hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up)
kernel and recovery .img can be flashed from TWRP (no need for PC to flash Sailfish OS, kernel and recovery)
Low Power Mode (AKA "sneak peek" or "ambient display") works (install instruction is in this post)
The softkeys (each side of the home button) work as notification leds
Do not work:
Mobile data (WIP)
Video recording (It doesn't really work in other 3.x versions either. See my test results here.)
There is an extra little issue that is a delay in screen refresh which is related to how vsync is handled in v10 backend in qt5-qpa-hwcomposer-plugin. I managed to improve this but there is a little delay still. Probably this is the reason why we need to jump back to Settings every time before trying to turn BT on, but I am not sure.

In case somebody missed these I would like to highlight some improvements since day 1:
Now both the kernel and twrp can be flashed as an .img from twrp (no need for PC and heimdall anymore)
Plus I uploaded a kernel with Flatpak support
With kernel07_flatpak, I have installed Flatpak and Angelfish but got an error when started Angelfish.
It looks like this is a limitation of the old kernel, but there might be a workaround.
I'll keep you posted.
With kernel12_mtp, MTP works. (and bluetooth partially)
The soft keys each side of the home button are used as notification leds. As this device doesn't have leds, the softkeys can be re-used as "leds". They do blink if the device is fully charged or there is an unread incoming text message. When the device is on charger they are on, otherwise both of them are off.
Can you post your sources? I'm interested in getting an I9100 as my new phone, and was considering a port and I'm happy to see you've already done all the leg work and then some!
Also about the kernel on this phone, I've been trying to port to a tablet with weird kernel images, can you run "file (path to android base kernel image)" - if it says ForPro FPT or similar I will be very very interested in how you got this phone to boot into rootfs. Very interested in the progress you've made though :3 Thanks for the awesome rom!

Sorry for delay in my reply.
The necessary repos in github are:
local manifest
dhd (in here the dhd submodule has to be refreshed from mer-hybris repo upgrade-3.2.1 branch)
droid-hal-i9100
droid-hal-version-i9100
android_device
kernel
The file (path to android base kernel image) command gives me: "Linux kernel ARM boot executable zImage (little-endian)"
A new image has been generated and can be downloaded. This one includes the patch of reusing the two softkeys (each side of the home button) and they do work as a notification leds!
Currently I am working on the mobile data and bluetooth (this latter partially works but is not reliable yet).
You're a g! I just bought an i9100M (different radio ).
I do recall ofono being unfriendly towards older RIL versions, galaxy nexus afaik is unfixable in 2.0+. However, if you have any service that is exciting! I can't wait to setup my environment and play around with this! If i9100M has a different partition layout/mount points (you know how samsung is) I will blow my brains out. How is camera working? Does this image include gstreamer/droidmedia?
You've probably got this sorted way better than I could hope to sort it! I'm shocked this doesn't have more replies.
EDIT: I noticed you have a complex patch for the pixel ratio. Have you tried just setting it in your patterns?

I am not sure what you d understand under 'any service' but except the mobile data, everything else works fine (calls in/out, texts in/out).
I don't know the difference between the i9100 and i9100m but on the internet you probably can find something about it.
One suggestion, before you start porting, install an android onto and boot into that and note the mounting points. This can save a little time when you need to set the fixup_mountpoints in hybris-boot.
The camera works but only for pictures. The video recording doesn't work. I think this is down to the cm12.1 base what I used for my port. I think gstreamer/droidmedia are there but am not sure.
I think the reason why this doesn't get more hype because this is a very old device and except some old fashioned folks like us, not many are using anymore. I don't mind it because this is my hobby. I am going through a to-do list until all I wanted works.
Currently, as the new version 3.3.0.14 is out) I am working on to update my port to 3.3.0.14. Unfortunately currently there is no OTA but hope eventually it will be sorted.
Changing the pixel ratio is not essential as the default 1.0 is ok-ish. I have found the 0.82 better so I included the icons into my image. As the script (kimmoli-diyicons.sh) is also included, we just need to run one command as root. I may try to set the 0.82 out of the box but currently it is not my to priority. As I will need to re-build everything for 3.3.0.14, I will try to set 0.82 in the pattern file.
Please keep me posted with your progress.

You'd 100% know if you built gstreamer, it's specified in the middleware section iirc and you have to uncomment it from your patterns. I hope it's easier to build nowadays. Also I noticed your port wasn't on the mer-wiki, if I remember my login is it okay if I add it :3 ?
EDIT: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris#Samsung - I added it to the bottom. creditted you in the edit note. you can create an account on the mer bug wiki and use it to edit the tables. I'll also be closely following this and editting it to match your progress. Tell me if you'd like any values changed!

I remember that I built gstreamer and un-commented the related stuff in the pattern file. I don't know whether easier to build now because I don't know how difficult it was before. I only can compare this project against my hammerhead one a few months earlier. For the hammerhead I needed to build the image with MIC, now the rpm/dhd/helpers/build_packages.sh command does everything for you. (For this you need to export the RELEASE, EXTRA_NAME values in your .hadk.env)
Unfortunately I still don't have OBS account so I couldn't add this device into the wiki. Thank you for doing that! Unfortunately new account creation on the mer bug wiki is restricted at the moment.
I have checked the wiki you have added and if you don't mind I would like you to amend a few things:
LED works (the two softkeys have repurposed as notification leds)
GPS works
Sensors Gyro and Magnetometer both work
(I need to double check the RTC alarm and USB net.)
I updated the page. I was going to set up my build env but seeing your row in the adaptations page made me realise you're so far along, and there isn't anything I could really do to push things forward by much. Once you get data and camera working this is pretty much one of 2 daily driver stable samsung sfos ports. Congrats :3 !

Thank you for the update and for the congrats but I think it is only partially my merits. I probably couldn't done this without the help of sailfishos-porter guys.
As I mentioned in the main comment, I am using my S2 with this image on it as a secondary phone already. Mobile data is not crucial as my main phone can be a hotspot and with my S2 I can connect to it via wifi. Of course this doesn't stop me trying to make that work. (The BT was almost done but I then broke something.)
The camera is a different story. Afaik the video recording generally is broken in the CM12.1 base that I chosen for this device. (That doesn't work on my hammerhead which is also using CM12.1 base.) So I think that will remain outstanding unless I try to port with a different android base.
I think will stop with this for while because the new version (3.3) is out soon and would like to upgrade to it first, then continue working on the missing bits.
Video recording works in the latest scm12.1 snapshot (YOG7D). I wish they hadn't tanked the old etherpad faq, I swear I saw something about hybris 12.1 specific video recording stuff.
If I can find another sub 20 USD i9100 I am definitely working on this, but since my i9100m is my daily driver and dualbooting isn't as easy as with other devices (espescially since YOG7D doesn't have isorec committed ). Thanks for getting so much done though, You have no idea how much it means to me that Sailfish OS is available for our device, and so stable too! :laugh:

I think the video recording also works in cm12.1 on the android side, but the problem is a, between the android and Sailfish or b, on the Sailfish side. I am not sure but when I tried to fix it on the hammerhead (same cm12.1 base) I was told the recording was broken in general with cm12.1 base. I'll see how it works (what I can do about it) after Sailfish 3.3 is out.
Have you thought about to purchase a cheap android phone to use as daily driver and using the i9100m for your Sailfish project? (You probably can get a decent second hand android phone for sub 20 maybe with better spec than the i900.)
Thanks again for the kind words. This phone (the S2) is my favorite old friend. It is indestructible . I have soft bricked so many times and managed to install many other OS but as couldn't find Sailfish OS, so I though worth a try to port. And with support of the Sailfishos-porters guys, my dream became real :good: .

Wow, great. I installed and the system works! Bluetooth does not work after installing the packages, but bluetooth-rfkill-event- * are not installed (error). There are few programs in the system, however. Especially browsers, the standard one hangs up (maybe there is a third-party?). Slightly slows down, but bearable.
By the way, are you not working with @linusdan? It also seems to be working on the port github com /sailfish-i9100 (link)
Sorry no link rights.
P/s By the way, I saw on the postmarket wiki site for i9100 about working kernels for our device. Available: kernel version 4.2 or mainline kernel

I am glad you managed to install it. Have you tried to re-partition the internal memory as I advised?
Yeah, the bt and mobile data is still WIP status. Hopefully will have some time to complete them soon.
For the browser, the native one doesn't hang for me. You can try to look for and install one from the openrepos. (I suggest to install the Storeman as you will find more useful apps for Sailfish OS.)
I don't know linusdan but have seen he has checked this post already. Hope he also found it useful.
I am aware of the postmarketos for the S2 and tested it on my S2. At that time (about a year ago) there was no mainline linux kernel option for the S2. Unfortunately the mainline kernel doesn't help with Sailfish because the Samsung proprietary blobs are missing from there. This means Sailfish wouldn't work. It needs the drivers from the Android layer.

I forgot to mention that there should be a folder '/edp17packages/bluetooth' where you can find the missing packages for the bt. Once you installed it, probably only need to tweak some config files and need to create some scripts. I currently started working on it.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12L (Sv2), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Githup repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.
Installation:
If you are on stock OS, you need a custom recovery first. You can get the recommended LineageOS recovery in the official installation instructions link below.
You can use TWRP for installation, however it is no longer officially supported since we do not have full control of its update cycle and potential issues.
If you are coming from stock or other ROMs, you need to make a factory reset.
As always, make sure to backup before installing this ROM.
Installation Instructions:
Backup your data and see the next post below

Special thanks to @Astridxx for the device tree sources and for helping me out and to @en666 for early testing the initial build
Important Notes:
As you can see from my profile, I'm not an experienced developer. I've made some builds as a considerable amount of users showed interest in having their devices updated with latest LineageOS code. Therefore, my main objective here is to bring the latest Android security patches to kuntao making monthly builds.
To be clear, I'm more in a situation of "user became builder" than of "ROM developer". Please, understand this.
Long live to our beloved kuntao!

Dirty flash still not supported (tree changed), please make a clean flash
Thank you so much for keepng Lineage alive, its very much appreciated.
@leo_97 thank you for this new build! Installed it straight away and now the phone is running since then and also, I've flashed with battery at 67% and atm, after a quite hard usage to test out the new features, I'm on 13%. Basically, so far so good!
p2a42, twrp 3.7, rooted, unencrypted
Thank you @leo_97 !
I was frustrated that Lineageos 18.1 was no longer maintained when I saw this update!
It's amazing
To all users and developers who tested and created this ROM, is it time to switch on this version ?
Or is it better to wait ?
For example, automatic update is possible after install ?

You are welcome
If it's time to switch, I believe it's a matter of personal decision. Maybe you could wait the next build and then decide...
If with "automatic updates" you mean OTA updates, then the answer (as already pointed out by @utwer ) is no. But once the trees are stable enough, I hope every user will be able to just update to the newer versions flashing ROM ZIP through TWRP (just like it's done on LOS18.1)
BTW, IDK if you already saw it, but we are maintaining a monthly build of LOS18.1 which you can download from here. The source tree used there is far more tested (as it's older) than this one. Anyway, except by the encryption thing, you shouldn't have any problems using this LOS19.1 ROM as our amazing developers made an excellent job here.
Reg, Ive installed it and I may say it is quite good. Not tried to root it yet. Dont have direct problems with ROM and functionality, for me everything works. Camera, Location, GSM, Data, WiFi. With developer options I've turned off Animation scale on three options to OFF, and is good. Stable reliable.
MindTheGapps-12.1 works every app from Google, Phone, Contact, Gmail, maps...etc...
What I need root mostly is for Call recording (Skvalex) and Viper4Android.
Some words about twrp-3.7.0_9-0-kuntao.img,
With this I have only problems, so far I lost a few backups and I need to install it all over again a few times allready. Disappointed very. I can't rally on this when I make a nandroid ba.ckups.
Also lost backups for LOS18.1 and I am been very pis....ed off. Error 255 on System recovery, other Data, Boot, EFS, Vendor, etc.. recovery is good.
So I've installed OrageFox for Kuntao. Tried several backups to restore already and I may say I am very satisfied. Puh
What is on my mind, when I installed a Magisk 25.2, no matter of LOS 18.1 or 19.1 with very few modules, after 7-8 reboots I've got boot loops which is beyond repairable.. Try to remove modules in TWRP in file manager, uninstall whole magisk, no way, but what it is seems that DATA got corrupted some how, everytime.
There were also installed TWRP mentioned above.
Now I am with OrangeFox and I will try tomorrow to Root it and see is there any connection between Magisk and recovery software (OrangeFox or TWRP).

Tried quickly this ROM yesterday. In general all working, but didn't test much.
Few feedbacks:
-Scaler for brightness level is weird, very different from the original Lenovo roms. Anyway, not really important, but something that I noticed.
-Missing haptic feedback when using the fingerprint reader as a gesture button. Again, not critical, but I am really accustomed to it and thus I noticed immediately.
-Missing haptic feedback intensity regulation, or could not find it. It's there for general call/notification vibration, but if I remember correctly lineage could also change haptic.
Impressed that you could integrate also some lenovo features, even if of course not all of them
If you want me to test something more specific, please let me know. Ah, my model is the 4 GB/ 64 GB combination.
Cheers!

So for 18.1 we can just flash the newer versions via TWRP and do not have to reinstall the entire ROM?

So,
Resolved issue of bootloops:
after you install SU like Magisk, and wan to freeze apps by Titanium Backup or Neo-Backup, Apps which causes bootloops are ROM's Phone and Massages (In my case, for 16.1, 18.1, 19.1), I freeze Audio.apk who need to be shutdown for Viper4Android app who takes audio management and freezing is OK.
But Phone and Massages which are frozen cause bootloops, so you need to return from freeze state somehow in TWRP or OrangeFox with file management or revert backup. Revert backup is easier .
Camera; found issue when suddenly is out of work and cannot be connected to app. Also have problems with video cast Skype, Viber, Whatsapp, Telegram video is frozen. Hardly switch in Camera app from Camera mode to Video mode and vice-versa.
Clock & Info; missing dock icons and info, can't "capture" moment for reason when they disappear but after a while all is returned again.
P2oggle, left switch button work okey in form of 0.4 version.
Reg,
thanks on the development for this 19.1 ROM.

Hello,
I've been using this ROM as my daily driver and couldn't confirm this camera bug, could you please give a few extra details? I tested on Telegram app. Which version are you using? The Play Store's one or the one from Telegram's official website? Did you give the app "While using app" permission or "Ask every time" permission for camera? Are you sure the QS Tile "Camera access" is activated (available) when the mentioned bug occurs?
Regarding the Clock widget, yes, there's a small glitch and I'm not sure on how to fix it, if it doesn't load at all, a system reboot should fix it.
P2oggle v1.2 is 100% working as far as I can tell, so you guys can try it too if you want.

I'm not sure if it's possible to "fix" the brightness slider.
If with "haptic feedback" you mean the phone vibration, you can just adjust it to your liking in Settings > Lenovo parts > Vibration strength, it should affect fp reader too, dunno if it affects call vibration but IFAIK it should.

Yes on latest Telegram app from web site, tried with Google Meet, Whatsapp, Viber.., always breaking connection with API/drivers. Yes I gave all permissions to Camera. If I am not giving permissions for camera, I have always noticed to confirm what I am giving, so I am excluded from this solution. And clean storage and cashe from app regular but not prevail.
But, in a while after installed a new ROM without giving SU/Root I noticed this behavior, right after I wrote earlier post up. My bad .
Choppy startup of camera, can't easily transfer from video 2 camera and vice-versa, so I tell to my self to test intensively.
Regarding the Clock widget, yes, there's a small glitch and I'm not sure on how to fix it, if it doesn't load at all, a system reboot should fix it.

Yes after a while it is returned back without reboot. weird.
P2oggle v1.2 is 100% working as far as I can tell, so you guys can try it too if you want.

Big Thank you for this release. Will try it. - test
Great job, dude.
Previous versions had some buggy charging driver that left a wakelock running after each charging, and u had to restart phone each time or leave it to slowly drain battery by not going to sleep.
Somehow this problems seems to be gone in your build and that is awesome.
I've been using the build for about 2 weeks now and so far everything seems to be working fine.
