Lineage OS 13 for *KKBL* - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There's an unofficial build of Lineage OS 13 for KKBL available in the Razr HD section. As far as I know, this is the first build of Android 6.x or above that has been released on KKBL (which means 3.4.x kernel). So, two questions.
How many and what changes are required to get this working on XT907?
Has anyone already attempted this (and would like to provide feedback)?

@DiamondJohn, do you have any input on this? Would be interesting to try this out. Any idea what changes are required? Must be minor (screen density only?) I'm hoping at least...

I'm, no crack dev, but the first thing I would look into are the differences in the device proprietary files, if they appear to be pretty similar devices.
XT925 = https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_motorola_xt925/blob/cm-14.1/device-proprietary-files.txt
XT907 = https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_motorola_xt907/blob/cm-14.1/device-proprietary-files.txt
For example, a big part of the "porting" of an xt897 ROM to an xt907 is held in the above info (and the relative locations of the actual binary files used with the same name). Its a starting point. I think someone converted a XT907 ROM to their xt925 using my above suggestion; but not perfectly.
When I first started building for my XT905 (ie a 907) I noted that there was already a device tree for the 907, but from memory, I think its for KKBL (im JBBL)

what about this one?
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960
although i wouldn't know what to do with it since i'm no dev. you think you could somehow port the xt92x build to xt90x / msm_moto8960 devices?

I have assumed that the source and the dest are both msm8960 devices, bo9th on the same level/ver of bootloader, and therefore this reads as a shared code path traversed by both devices, so its already taken care of (in both). You are looking for DIFFERENCES in the code path.
PS: the other thing you will need to modify is the "updater-script" (in particular the first line) and the build.props (it doesn't normally flash from the zip without extra instructions, even though "its there"). I have personally changed the first line of the updater script and then copied the firmware files and an updated build.prop within TWRP before my first boot for quick checks. Just use the set permissions to 755 for safety on each file as well (for testing)

I have been trying to build crDroid for xt907_JBBL, but have been having issues. Today I thought of upgrading to the KKBL, which made me then search and not find, a suitable TWRP (ie >= v3.x)
is there a xt907_KKBL TWRP >=3.x? or would I have to build one?

I am trying to build crDroid v3.6 (ie 7.1.2), however for my JBBL its having numerous FC's I do have a zip file which would enable me to upgrade to KKBL which would make it interesting to see if a KKBL version is more stable. IF I could also SAFELY go back to JBBL I had a Moto X and accidently (by accepting an OTA) downgraded my bootloader and that caused a hard brick on the device, so I am a little cautious to say the least, as it is my daily.
I am also just downloading the device tree for an xt907 KKBL on my build machine and see if it can build a LineageOS 13. I'll let you know how it goes, and probably paste up a link for others to test if it succeeds to build since my device is JBBL
=============== edit =============
Correction, I am testing a Lineage OS 14.1 (ie Nougat) build of xt907 KKBL

@DiamondJohn, I have the flashbacks to JBBL and KKBL available as well, lemme know if you want but the AFH links posted earlier work just fine as well.
Sorry I'm also on JBBL otherwise I would help you test your recovery. TWRP 2.8.x not compatible with Nougat?
Edit :: Do you think the XT907 has the horsepower to handle Nougat? I'd say the best best for this phone would be any flavor of MM but no higher. I'm on MoKeE Nougat JBBL and it seems to work well enough...

No need, because I have a an xt905, it has Australian frequencies, which means Australian specific modem. These zips were only for me to confirm the steps I plan to take when flashing manually using fastboot, from an Australian specific (ie xt905) Image file. so, one example is enough. Thanks anyway.

I don't know. I know on previous version of Android, new versions of ROM zip files took advantages of features not in older TWRP images, and TWRP 2.8.x is getting old.
There is little drive in me building, uploading and posting a KKBL ROM post, if no-one else is testing it for me ie save me the hassle of flashing KKBL only to find TWRP &/OR ROM does not work. Yes, its all about me

More than enough. I have built a nougat ResurectionRemix and a crDroid (available HERE for testing; JBBL only) and it felt just as snappy as Marshmallow. Also, on my daily, I am running LOS13.0 with the Nougat Kernel, overclocked to 1.98GHz. ie we can also get a small/tiny boost easily with OC; the feature is built into the kernel but simply switched off in the LOS official builds.

Can I build OmniRom with CWM?

Hello,
As in the title, how can I build OmniRom (KitKat) with CWM based recovery instead of TWRP?
I don't want TWRP, a lot.
All 4.4 ROMs only flash properly with CWM or Philz. Using TWRP will result in radios not working.

Well, that's just not true. I use 2.6.3.4 to flash my ROMs (and radio when I don't RUU), and those ROMs are all 4.4.2.
But to answer your question OP, I don't know since I haven't looked at that part of the source. But I believe TWRP is the only supported recovery, so keep that in mind when thinking about bug reports and error messages.

No. TWRP's configuration is more "self-contained" in terms of many of its build dependencies. CWM requires tentacles throughout the entire Android source tree over 4-5 or more projects that I'm not merging unless they can be proven to be needed for more than just CWM.

Um, TWRP is the only supported recovery for Omni. Most specifically, OpenDelta is GUARANTEED to fail with official CWM since Koush blocks advanced recovery scripting by anything other than ROM Manager.
TWRP works to flash Omni on every supported device I know of that's receiving nightlies. If this isn't the case on ANY device it's a pretty big bug the maintainer needs to address.

Yea well TWRP fails at flashing any 4.4 build (CM-base, Omni, etc) on at least the L900 Note 2 and possibly other Note2 devices. Whereas CWM/PhilZ is the only way. Been that way since CM first started pushing out 4.4 builds.
Thanks for reply!
I had problems with compiling libm, finally fixed by replacing bionic/libm folder with CM11 one.
I thought OmniRom is friendly source, now I've changed my mind, it's much more complicated than CM. I had no such problems with building CM11.
@Entropy512
Can TWRP damage my device? I don't know if my config is correct at all or if it's enough. This is my BoardConfig
Or can I use boot.img from CM11 instead of the one compiled with OmniRom?

I've been flashing OmniROM on my Note II since the very first day only using TWRP. Before that not a single nightly zip of CM 10.1/2, PA or PAC was a problem.

Today I installed OMNI ROM 4.4.2 on Galaxy Note with CM 10.1 + CWM (6.0. ...)
- it works Ok.
Generally I followed the "Installing Omni on your device" instruction at docs.omnirom.org
- excluding TWRP installing
- I downloaded Google Apps for Android 4.4 from CyanogenMod site (gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip)

Only thing I can think of is TWRP is out of date and needs updating for that device, or there are updated TWRP builds and you're not running one.

What does that have to do with this thread?
libm compiles just fine as it is in omni - if it didn't, then none of our nightlies would build

Complicated? Breakfast your device, and brunch it. Maybe use DonkeyCoyote's device binaries repository if needed (IIRC, even CM needs this), and that's about it. If you MUST use CWM, get PhilZ's, I hear he unblocked the advanced function calls.

That'd be my guess- don't forget to remove package in your local manifest.

All I really want is gamma correction and maybe overclocking and U/V.
This means that anyone interested in building a replacement kernel for the LG stock 4.4.2 release has a blueprint to start from. I know of two kernels that have been released for 4.2.2 stock, this release means that we may see updates of these projects to 4.4.2.
I may try and restart my own efforts in this area as well depending upon time and what kind of problems I find in the 4.4.2 US release.

The first and most obvious is the gamma set at 2.05 roughly. If you set it to 2.2 - 2.3, that would already be a big plus.
The source uploaded by LG didn't include the kernel source so I contacted their open source division and they've now uploaded a proper kernel source. I'm travelling for work now, but will take a look at it when I get back home next week and get something compiled.

When if get the chance can you compare the 18a kernel to the 20b one? I like the settings the 18a kernel, the lower brightness levels are setup in a way that makes it great for night time. I have the 18a kernel running on the 20b build but after the screen is locked it and turned back on it changes to levels of the 20b kernel, but retains the gamma level. I could attach a flashable zip with the 18a kernel if you need it.

Hi, I am quite a newbie. Just wondering what is the use of the kernels? Can we just flash it on custom roms like the kitkats ones done by _infected. AOKP or the Cynogenmod for the GPAD? The AOKP and the Cynogen are smooth but few features like Autorotate doesn't work and there is no gamma correction i think
I compiled a kernel using the source provided by LG, but for some reason, it doesn't boot.
I keep getting this error:
Code:
Secure booting error
Cause: boot certification verify
I noticed that the resulting "boot.emmc.win" is a lot smaller than the original boot.emmc.win (~10 MB compared to 24MB)
Another interesting thing is that if I uncompress the original 24 MB boot.emmc.win using the command "unmkbootimg -i boot.emmc.win", I get two files: kernel (7.5 MB) and ramdisk.cpio.gz (2.6 MB). If I rebuild the boot.emmc.win using these exact two files, I get an 11MB boot.emmc.win, but this one DOES boot.
It probably has something to do with the locked bootloader and the loki exploit.
Can anyone help me get to the bottom of this? I really want to solve the gamma issue.
Well, as I suspected, it was because of the locked bootloader, but using the loki_tool, I was able to bypass the bootloader check.
So I now have a working, self-compiled 4.4.2 kernel (using the eabi-4.7) , based on LG's kernel source.
Unfortunatelly, gamma is still the same (about 2 - 2.1). Need to figure out how to modify it.
If someone can and wants to help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Can you look at the 18 Rom kernel and see what has changed?

Panel is very close to correct gamma when using default linear qlut, instead of MSM_MIPI_LGIT_VIDEO_WUXGA_PT_PANEL qlut.
I would definitely take a look at the 50018A kernel if someone can provide the source. I wasn't able to find it.

The kernel is what drives the Rom. Without the kernel sources improvements to a device are hard to make. It's AOSP ( Android Open Source Project) not AOKP.

Hello ruxandy,
Can you explain in few words how did you manage to push the kernel to your v500?
Here is my story:
I downloaded the V500 Lollipop kernel because I wanted to compile .ko loadable modules and drivers to support RTL2832U DVB USB dongle. I successfully compiled those modules, rooted the tabled and tried to insmod them. But it failed because the modules did not find some kernel APIs.
Then I decided to build the kernel with built-in those drivers and I did it successfully, the problem now is what to do with zImage. I read there are two roads the one building own KDZ file seems very complicated and not sure if really possible. The other seems to be to extract the boot.emmc.win file using TWRP. So I downgraded the V500 bootloader from LT to KK and installed TWRT using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/v500-how-to-install-twrp-stock-lp-t3165846 but after reboot got the secure boot error you did.
So again - how to use self built zImage and is this possible for KitKat only, since installing TWRP with Lollipop does not seem possible so far?

Didnt this the nightly with the new Touch update? I read that this causes sensor problems. I think there is another version to be released with the 28th nightly (tonight)
Just update to 28

I am on rooted Stock 38R ROM. My wifi setting broke after installed this kernel, but the kernel did have much more improvement over stock 38R kernel.
Is there anyway to install the kernel without breaking wifi? Thanks!

Let me guess, you were coming back to this kernel from Franco?
Also, to OP, are you going to keep maintaining this thread? Maybe having a regular (like weekly) updates or so?

Hmmm... I'm not that sure, but I guess there are some differences in the kernel between the standard CM11 and CM11S. Not too sure whether it is a good idea to flash kernel from nightly into 11S... How's your experience so far btw?

Why not ?
The device boot fine and all hardware are working fine
If was not compatibility the device could even boot
Which hardware are different to nightly????

If you see other custom kernel pages, usually they would have different versions for CM11 and CM11S... So I would assume that there are inherent differences between them. But if it is working fine for you, then great! Maybe I'll try it myself too

[7.1.1] LineageOS 14.1 kernel for Korean Note 2

Download link removed. Please head over to N7105 thread now as developer is releasing builds for E250S and E250K as well.
what specific ril patch should we use on shv-e250k models?
Option58 said:
How to install Android 6 on Korean Note 2 devices:
Big thanks to @Strawberry_dev, he actually made this possible. He is the one to make a kernel to convert N7015 AOSP ROMs to Korean ones. Thank him (and ROM devs), this is NOT my work! I just wrote this tutorial.
I strongly recommend this to everyone. Way better than Samsung 4.4. It literally saved me from a buying new device. It's really fast and up to date. Suitable for use in 2016.​

sir.do you have any links for the files that you used?especially the RIL patch. i did follow the instructions but I had problems downloading the ril patch. if you could upload it through mediafire or any cloud servers. that would be great. I guess what causes my SHV-E250K to bootloop is that the RIL patch was not flashed and it stucked on the Cyanogen Icon
Note 2 E250S - unable to get wifi working
I now have everything working except wifi. I downloaded the wifi mac address patch, but it didn't help. Is there an app I can use for the wifi? Or an alternative patch to download and flash? Thank you.

That's very strange. Wifi should work. When I flash roms for N7100, N7105, etc. wifi works every single time.
The only thing that comes to my mind is that you weren't running latest firmware prior to installing this.
Forget Android 6 and go to Android 7. From Android 4.4, just follow the steps in the 1st thread, but do not install Widzard Kernel 2.7 & Gapps for 6.0. Then, download and dirty install any Android 7 ROM for N7105 and the corresponding GAPPS. Please note than Widzard Kernel does not seem compatible with Android 7. The Kernel included in the Android 7 ROM is enough for Korean Galaxy Note 2 (mine : SHV-E250S).

It would be cool if Widzard kernel dev updated it to Nougat. But that's still not LinaegeOS original kernel.

Good news. I've finally got vibration to work on my E250S. Started building LineageOS 14.1 myself from now on.
Please test this on your E250L and E250K and we'll see if we can get things working for you.

bro i m using lineage os unoffical rom by poisonNinja bro on my samsung galaxy note 2 e250k
it work fine for me all clear

Best stable rom with good performance?

Hi,
I've been kind of out of the loop for a bit, but after some problems with official ROMS i decided to switch to the custom ones.
I'm looking for something that's as stable and lag free as it can get (I was very happy with official roms from xiaomi to give you an idea of "good enough" for me).
Anything symilar available? I'm currently sitting on https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-4-prime/development/rom-aicp-13-t3752647 , but I see some minor stuttering and it happened to freeze for me already :/
I don't care about customization and fancy stuff, neither do i care about android version (as long as it's not ancient xD). Can anyone suggest something?

It's more stable because it's maintained more frequently, new builds are released as soon as the sources are updated.
And, there's no post about it on xda, it's maintained by a Russian dev and publishes his work on 4pda. So, you'll only get the zips. For details, follow him there.

How is it flashed? I have the twrp treble so... Do I need to back up, wipe system, cache, dalvik, data... Flash the rom, gapps and magisk?
Is it right?
