So what if its unofficial do you know what the difference is between official and unofficial at all?
An official rom is the rom as advertised in the main website or wherever and unofficial means it either hasnt been added to the official list yet, or it has been modified so it cant be added to the official list eg. like if a rom doesn't support "slide finger across status bar for brightness" and a Dev added it for your device then the rom could not be official.
Pubg is crap on this device if you want to play big games like that then you will have to fork out for a new phone.
Also using gapps on this old device makes it super slow and laggy and I was actually able to play pubg quite well with grx tools and not using gapps but instead using microG.
Bootleggers rom for me is the smoothest but seeing as the Dev of bootleggers doesn't use gapps then all bugs related to gapps wont be fixed without logs as he cant replicate the problem.
If I were you I would try bootleggers rom with nanodroid microG and magisk. Best combination for this device by a long shot.
If you need I can post a guide on how to install nanodroid microG without issues but it will have to be a clean install of the rom

The ROM was smooth but had some issues like Vote was not working and calls not working..... I installed it yesterday but I can't use is daily driver..

My TWRP 3.3.1-0 work fine with this, but sadly magisk doesn't work...
for now i don't have any bugs, only lock screen....it's hard to unlock, you have to swipe trough whole screen to unlock...is it even bug or normal thing on pixel phones?
edit, i tried calls and it works fine, for now i will use this rom daily and i'll keep watching for bugs

Try flashing the latest magisk 19.4 which apparently supports Android 10.
https://******************/magisk-beta

BUG: version PixelExperience_mido-10.0-20190920 (and all Android 10 beta builds before this):
If connect to LAN or WebCloud services (Google Drive, etc.) with X-plore file browser and run apk file from this cloud (copying to temp for running) then no installing app (apk) but runing as instalator in randomly apps in SmartPhone.

I have installed that version and it doesn't work either, the phone does not start
At the moment it is not possible to root

Magisk - I think it only supports a/b partitioning for Android 10, not A only on 19.4 build at the moment, so since we are an A only style device, Magisk Android 10 support isn't working yet

BUG: version PixelExperience_mido-10.0-20190920 (and all Android 10 beta builds before this):
If booting OS (after show bootlogo Pixel) quietly clicks (hardware sound) camera (as click if opening Camera app).
Maybe initialization?
In older versions (Pie) booting no camera clicks.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][cancro][10] LineageOS 17.1

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, 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 Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

As I know, twrp 3310 had some problem, so i still v3210 (3230 should be ok too) and it works fine!
You may download it from TWRP website directly, if v3230 has problem, just let me know, I can upload v3210 to g-driver later!

Hi, are you thinking about future releases (something like one every month or so) with bug correction and, maybe, improvements?
Can you suggest a specific kernel/camera/video driver for this builds, or the included ones are good?
Thanks.

I will most probably be providing monthly security updates. I dont think there are custom kernel available for cancro. So you're left with the the included one. Give it a try rom is stable enough with no major bug or FC.

Totally agree!
To this old device and with this stable ROM, monthly security updates should be enough!
I install this ROM for 2 days, no FC and no major bug (although i cannot pass the safetynet, but it is ok) very smooth with good battery performance! And the temperature also outstanding when play a game!
Thanks for the great ROM!:good:

There is a workaround to pass safetynet on latest build. You need to install magisk and enabling magisk hide.

Unbelievable that this solid device will get a stable build of lineage os 17.1 - mother of all custom roms even after so many years. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the information, i tried it but no lucky, its okay, to me, not an issue!
But could you check the Bluetooth is functional our not?
Tried to using BT but seems not working?
Thanks in advance!

Installed the rom. It's very smooth and stable. Battery is also doing fine. Didn't put a sim and check it. Installed magisk 20.3 and updated to 20.4.
Gapps by the op is working, opengapps could not be installed.
My son played some games with it and was satisfied with its performance.
Haven't checked BT.
Installed YouTube vanced black edition from magisk download.
Will try to install magisk modules for safetynet bypass.
The speaker of my phone is faulty so can't comment about sound.
The rom is an excellent build and the device has surpassed itself.
I wanted to install a gcam port for it. I tried several builds but none of them could even be installed. (i know I'm off topic here). I'll delete this line if the op takes an exception. So if anyone is aware of any working gcam build/port kindly tell me. The device has an excellent sensor for camera.
Also an option to use power menu on the hardware button long press / double tap would have been very useful. I'm presently using a 3rd party app from play store for power off /reboot /reboot to recovery etc as the power button is on the way to its grave due to old age. Otherwise the device is in excellent condition.
Double tap to wake is a very desirable feature due to power button eol and volume button wake is there but these also might get finished due to regular use.
Am using greenify and gravity based wake up to save the power button.

[ROM] dotOS v1.2 for SM-J210F [Android 7.1.2]

Hello everyone!
This is a dotOS port from the Galaxy J3 2016 (made by @lucas000br) to the J2 2016.
Working: ​
My (basic) testings all seemed to work quite well
Added features and patched bugs:​
Patched lock button in boot.img
Pre-rooted the ROM
Added FM-Radio from ViperOS (microG variant only)
Optimized features
Signature spoofing patched on microG variant
[See post #2 for further information]
Known problems:​
Gapps variant is laggy (nothing I can do - Google sucks)
Your J2 shows up as a J3 (it's a port that's why)
Download links and installation instructions can be found in post #2​
Credits:
Nanolx for Signature Spoofing
PixelBoot for base
lucas000br for modified base
Me for everything else
Obligatory Links:
Kernel Source: Github
Original Build (Abandoned by PixelBoot): XDA Developers (No source code)
Port of Port (by lucas000br): Thread seems to have disappeared?

Variant information (Which one is which?)​
GAPPS: This one has most of the stock Google apps (Drive, YouTube, etc) + GSF present. Recommend for most users. RAM usage 640mb on idle
microG: All Google apps have been replaced with FOSS software. Google Services Framework has been replaced with microG. Signature spoofing is also present. RAM usage 560mb on idle
DIY: Want to build your own ROM? This one's for you! Everything except the bare minimum has been stripped out, so that you can decide what to pick for your ROM. (For power users only).
Stock dotOS: The stock dotOS compiled by PixelBoot for J3 2016; with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Signature spoofing and Power Button patched. Most stable out of all. You will need to flash additional GAPPS to get Google Services. RAM Usage 500mb.
Download Links:​Stock dotOS (Recommended): MEGA
GAPPS: Oreo-Themed dotOS
microG: Oreo-Themed dotOS
DIY: Oreo-Themed dotOS
Installation Instructions:​[If you don't have TWRP, get an image and install it from here]
GAPPS:
Boot to TWRP
[Do make sure to backup your data]
Wipe Dalvik, Data, System, Cache
Flash the ROM
Reboot. Done!
microG:
Boot to TWRP
[Do make sure to backup your data]
Wipe Dalvik, Data, System, Cache
Flash the ROM
After rebooting, open microG settings.
Go to self-check and tick the check boxes that are unticked (that will initialize microG)
Go back, and enable Device Registration, Cloud Messaging and Device Attestation
Then go to Location backends, and configure the DejaVu and Nominatim backends.
Done!
DIY and Stock dotOS will be the same as GAPPS variant

Changelog:
v1.2: Initial release​06/05/2021: After lucas' comment, I realized that this wasn't the stock dotOS. So I have ported the stock dotOS created by PixelBoot. Try it out!​

lucas000br said:
well done!
Also, PixelBoot did the DotOs base rom, i just modified it to be more like Android Oreo
(dont worry because i credited PixelBoot in the original j3 thread)

hmm it could be flashing gapps causes problem with the rom...
yes try the gapps version i provided
the diy one is mainly for rom porters. it has many features removed so that rom porters can think about what features to add in the rom
only basic feature available in rom is phone and messaging support

I can't access internal storage after flashing. Stock file manager crashes if i open it. Stock browser says "no sd card, usb storage is required to download the file". There's no internal storage even after connecting the phone to pc. It only shows memory card.
Edit: Just wiped the internal storage and re-flashed it. Works fine now
Thanks for porting this amazing rom

@NullCode, thanks for your work for device j210f...I like the ui of dot os..but i must say your previous build i.e viper os was more stable n amazing atleast for me....btw thanks a lot for keeping this device alive...

I know, viperOS was much more stable because I took 1 entire year to port and test the rom (i started testing January 2020 )
however, dotOS was ported in only 1 month
so it is not as polished
but im glad you liked it

Hey.
I am using this ROM since 6th May (stock variant) and it is very great but has lots of bugs.
1. Bluetooth Audio stutters really bad (problem in every Android N rom for this phone)
2. Google Meet doesn't work (just shows the logo and then crashes) I am using Open GAPPS
3. Many system app crash randomly (sometimes even the launcher and system ui) requiring me to take out the battery and restarting the phone.
4. Camera quality is significantly bad compared to stock 6.0
But still a great project.
Thank you for keeping this phone updated.

My build has more free ram and battery btw.

Rom to degoogle phone?

I'd like to increase the privacy of my phone. I'm looking for a compatible open source ROM for the Xiaomi Mi 9T with the latest stock android firmware without any bloatware from google or xiaomi. Better if it's a popular ROM so I can find support more easily.
After I install the ROM I'll follow this phone hardening guide: https://lemmy.ml/post/128667

My privacy combination is:
-MicroG LOS Rom
-AuroraStore with local gnerated anon account - https://auroraoss.com/download/

Rumors are that LOS for davinci will no longer be maintained.

Yes that's true but just because a certain developer doesn't want to update to the next Android version, it doesn't mean it's over with LineageOS for davinci.
NeoArian is apparently working on an Android 12 LOS version:

The nice thing about MicroG is the fact that more apps still work. Yes, many other roms offer signature spoofing which is a prerequisite for microG but it never worked as well for me as the in-house LineageOS rom build from microG itself.

I've installed lineage-17.1-20220105-nightly-davinci-signed.zip. Thanks for the suggestions. Just to be sure, since I'm going to follow the 100% FOSS Smartphone Hardening non-root 4.0 guide now, is all the software in Lineage OS 17.1 FOSS (free and open source software)?

Thing is that the ROM has to become official (i.e. published on the LOS site) before the microG guys start building it. Many developers hesitate to make their version official, because it comes with responsibilities (in maintenance especially).
That said, there is a Magisk module available that adds microG to custom ROMs that seems to work well with LOS.

I've taken a look at rooting the phone to make adaway more energy efficient but since the device has no ramdisk I would have to boot to recovery every time I want to have root enabled. So I'm guessing most people just don't use this phone with root since it would be too inconvenient. And I'd like to know why Lineage OS doesn't offer a simple way to enable root.

I don't use LOS but I guess it uses the stock Xiaomi boot.img
If so, then it is absolutely not needed to install Magisk to recovery - as stated elswhere, patch the boot.img and then you boot directly to Magisk with no problem (don't worry that Magisk says Ramsisk No, patching boot.umg works with no problem)
Regarding to built-in Magisk to custom ROMs (old school) - that is discoursged by TJW Magisk documentation. One of the reason is troubles if user wants to update Magisk
(All assuming Magisk for root)

I'm using it with LOS17. 1 (+ microG) and Magisk, I just installed it following the instructions. I'm using stable 23.0 without problems. Magisk even reinstalls itself after OTA updates.

How did you install MicroG? Just want to know if the process is still difficult on a normal LOS.

I just used the prebuilt version from here. New builds are made approx. every 2 weeks, and install OTA.
