Discussion Thread : Cm12 unofficial rom by Grarak

Hi buddies
As Grarak chose to close the thread of his rom and that maybe some of you want to have some more return and exchanges about the way the rom works, discuss about bugs etc, i open this thread, so that we will be able to do what a forum is done for : talk and exchange together.
New version is 12082014, any return?
Testing soon..

i 've had terrible battery life, and searching on google lead me to a battery misc processus eating battery, problem solved with 5.0.1 by google
do you guys have the same experience, and have heard about a fix incorporation in the new builds? :good:

I had to go all the way back to the 11-20-14 build. I tried updating to the new builds 12-8, 12-9 and 12-10. No data at all on any of these builds.

Flashed the newest build! We're on Lollipop 5.0.1 now This update is supposed to help battery life. We'll see.
The new music app automaticaly force closes, and the DSPmanager was replaced with AudioFX.

thank you guys for these feedbacks.
Foxy, when you say the new music app, you mean the cyanogenmod one? strange, what could have change ?
Audio playback is fixed now ?

I don't know? It's just called "Music" but the icon is like a poorly designed not lollipop looking purple circle. But Apollo is gone so I suppose that's it. And audio playback works, just the app crashes right when I open it.

mhm then i think a change that has broke the app. I m sure Grarak will correct it in the next release

Ok, the ROM was going great for me, then yesterday at work my phone turned off when it was in my pocket. I tried turning it on, it booted, started doing the boot animation and then did that for five minutes before it shut off again. This time it wouldn't turn back on no matter how many times i tried power cycling or booting into bootloader. When I got home I tried charging it and the light wouldn't even come on. So I plugged it into my PC and the phone showed up as qhsusb_bulk. After researching that i found it means the bootloader got wiped somehow. My question is, how could my bootloader be gone, because as far as I know, no one has gotten their device S-OFF.

your device is bricked
seems there is a solution on the web but not working for everybody and for specific devices
i dont know what to advice you...
i dont know if it is rom related, but if it is, i wont flash this !

Yes that's what i figured. Luckily Amazon was nice enough to give me a new phone once I send that one in. I was just trying to figure out how it would even be possible that my bootloader got fried, considering my device was still S-ON.

any one who tried this rom found any bugs ???????? i want to know the bugs and want to know in htc 816 daul the second sim worked or not

I'm on a single sim Virgin Mobile variant here. There are bugs, yes. This is basically an alpha going into beta of lollipop. There is no one else developing anything new for this device so this is our best bet yet. Aside for some minor niggles here and there, this ROM is very workable as a daily driver. I would recommend a backup, and try this one out. I like it a lot. Grarak is quite amazing actually, many thanks owed.

Didn't test it. Haven't spent enough time on Lollipop because of the no data issue.

I've been playing around with the lastest builds, and I'm actually getting LTE to work without modifying anything, I just have to let it sit for a WHILE and it connects and works quite well.
HOWEVER, I have been getting a corrupt data partition issue with some non-google play apks. I assume that since the build are already not stable, adding homemade, root apks that modify data might cause some corruption. I'll keep playing with it and report back any further updates on how this may be happening.

Yah data works...just not good. It has to do with not being able to access APN's.
No one want's to sit "for a WHILE" to open a webpage or read an email.

On the latest build, System UI crashes.

[GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread

Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the BLUE VIVO AIR sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.
I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...

Hello
I am new here. I agree with you making a separate thread for q/a. So is this thread for all the devices or for only high end devices..?

Ok got it

Official Lollipop images?
I got a Fly Tornado Slim from Russia which is identical to the Vivo Air.
Other names of the phone are: Kazam Tornado 348 (UK), Allview X2 Soul Mini (Romania) and Gionee Elife S5.1 (India, first appearance)
I checked all of the manufacturers, but couldn't find a lollipop firmware so far.
Did anyone have more success?

Root!!! HELP!!!
Does anyone know how to root the Vivo Air?
Any help will be appreciated

I tried framaroot too and it failed...

I've even tried the PC based ones, but I can't get the phone to work in USB Debugging mode on the PC so they wont see it.

Did anyone ever have any luck with root?

Press thanks

Tried all root tools so far and couldn't root it. Some people had the luck to root it, I heard. But it depends on the firmware installed.
I use the current "Kazam Tornado 348" firmware so far, which is a slightly modified Vanilla Android.

Camera software non responsive.
Good morning ,
Good people. I Just received my BLU Vivo Air (black) yesterday and love it for the mid tier phone that it is. I love the form factor and how light and thin it is.
Right out of the box there was a minor update for bug fixes and performance. After that everything was still working fine. Including camera. Now this morning I attempted to use "CharmCam" once again to take a night shot. When I loaded the app there was a light haze and I could see the image behind the haze. It was as if the camera lens some how over exposed to allow more light in. The issue is that the software was also non responsive to the point of not even being able to take the picture. So I rebooted and still same result. I then tried the native camera app and this worked fine the first time and then the same haze and non responsive software buttons after the first picture.
Once I get a chance I am going to do a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue.
Still love everything else about the phone.

I'm looking for some info on the stock launcher to see if it is even worth while keeping it versus installing GEL or Nova. The icons on screen don't bother me per se, I have an iPhone.

Issue with bluetooth phone audio in the car
Hi Everyone,
The issue i'm having with my Blu vivo air is the phone audio doesn't go through the car speakers or use the car mic. I'm connected through bluetooth and I can play all my media audio through my car speakers. It's only when i try to pick up a call and talk that this feature completely doesn't work.
I understand that with so many different car head units functionality can be a little different. I'm just seeing if any others are experiencing the same thing. I had no issues previously with my htc one. I just started loving this phone too, and this is a big feature for me. My only work around is to pick up my phone and take it off bluetooth and answer it normally, which i shouldn't be doing in my country. I own a scion fr-s stock head unit for those wondering. I hope there will be an update to fix this issue......
Thanks

Have you tried to format the phone? I saw a post the fixed WiFi connection by formatting.
Also, a few of the users here has already received some updates. I believe the most recent is v11.
Sent from my 1+1

WiFi does not work
I just got mine days ago, the WiFi was working when i first set it up but then it stops for no known reason. i have done a factory reset on the phone and was able to connect to my WiFi network again, but as soon as the phone finish updating the WiFi stops working again. does anyone knows how to fix this? i really like the design of the phone, but i'm going to return unless this WiFi is problem permanently fix.

Vivo Air Battery Issue
I find Vivo Air to be excellent phone. Battery life is great, with 3G enabled it lasts more than 3 days, but it is my wife's phone and she mostly uses it for calls and viber.
The only issue that she has it that battery percentage is not shown correctly. The percentage goes down as it should be and after some time it will just go up. For instance it can go to 55% and the next time she lights the screen it will show 85% full. So, she does not know what actual battery status is. We tried with installing battery apps, DU Battery Saver, but it shows wrong battery percentage as well.
I have opened case with BLU company and they advised to perform factory reset, without wipe data cache, but it did not help.
BLU is a little bit slow with answers, so I tought that maybe somebody had same problem and can advise how to solve it.
So, any ideas what to do?

developing anyone who wants to help has ideas lets post them here

i have a machine with linux on it and a remote desktop client called teamviewer for those who would want to help get one of these roms ported so to speak. further more anyone have ideas or know how to fix other issues as well as kernels. then post here let us know although my post its not just for me. i will also keep posting my progress here from now on. if anyone wants to learn what i learned i have a discord server where we can voice at. its hard to actually type and explain and the other machine can show as i talk about what ever. so feel free to post what ever as well if u just want me to call it quits let me know down bellow. i figure we get enough people who know stuff bout each of the process we might get farther then just me. then im gonna try to develop my own rom that will be awhile xd. i learned what i know in like a month so im no expert but i love learning new stuff as well as knowing i accomplished something good.heres what i got so far auto brightness doesnt work double tap does not work although its in the settings. wifi is still broke im getting closer to get wifi but maybe some new eyes can help with the kernel configs or symlink or well you get the picture.https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767145938heres how to flash goto twrp goto wipe do the delete data option that has you type yes. then just restore backup normal way in twrp. sorry first one was a old broke version posted new link. also install install one of these when ur finish restore http://opengapps.org/if this was helpful please hit the ty button. if u feel the need to donate thats there as well enjoy and maybe we can get rr marsh mellow to at least be our temp os. after you load it up at least once i recommend going back to twrp and doing the factory restore option

yeah it wont be a DD without wifi but im light on using data anyhow for the time being. what version of crdroid are you making? im not personally interested in any particular version of android i just cant wait any longer to rid myself of EMUI as a whole beyond what im already able to. i dont know if either of you had any issues or maybe it was just me, but copying RR to my ext-sd twrp folder it would just stop copying and i tried it both from within twrp and android. i had to copy it directly to the root of the ext-sd. anyway im installing now just wanted to let you know what was up so far over here.
Edit: I'm sure this wont apply to those who cant figure it out as you shouldnt mess with it anyway if you couldnt but, you have to remove the "_image" from the end of the system backup file in order for twrp to see that partition and be able to restore it.

Hey its Jarrett didn't wanna login. RR works amazing and is exactly what I'm looking for from a ROM. Auto brightness works just fine for me, I came directly from b130 BTW. WiFi just sits there trying to turn on but it never does so I can confirm that. Also double tap to lock works for me. Is there anything that doesn't work for you that you'd like me to try and confirm coming from b130 seems to fix the issues you were having other than WiFi not working.

I do not have a way yo test NFC but yes this ROM is butter smooth and leaves much more room available while also allowing you to use an SD card as expanded system storage. I have yet to find any bugs or settings that do not work as intended other than WiFi and double tap to wake but only WiFi is important to me.

USB Audio Source Android 9

Phone:Samsung S8 SM-G950GF Exynos
Android version: 9 Pie
So basically I bought an external dac-amp for my IEMs... Stupid me was thinking that it would be compatible with android through the use of an usb otg cable, but nope I just learned that after Android 9 came out , the option that used to let you force "USB Audio Source" in the developer options has been removed for no apparent reason. Now the thing is I really don't want to admit that I've wasted 99$ on a dac-amp that doesn't even work on my phone, so do you guys have any idea how to fix this thing?
Help would be very much appreciated and sorry for the bad English if I messed up something, it's not my first language.

Last time I saw the option was when I had Android Oreo installed.
The thing that bothers me isn't the fact that they removed the option, I would be fine with that if the automatic switch to an audio source to another was flawless, but not only it's not flawless it just doesn't work at all.

yeah, ive seen several options that i would have liked to retain disappear over the years which is irritating. So, you cant roll your version back as its tied to the latest bootloader on your phone, but you CAN root it and flash an Oreo based rom on it

Yeah I already thought about doing that, but I'm not really sure if it's worth or not since I had a lot of lag issues with oreo.
Anyway thanks for the help I guess I'll just wait to hear news form the audiophile community and see if someone releases a magisk module or a custom android pie rom to solve the issue.

disued android phone thats a bit older? you can have it tether to your current phone and that way you wont have to give much of a [email protected] if something happens to the phone since theyre easily replacable. Just get tasker to recognize that when it sees your media player phone that it automagically turns your hotspot on and back off when it no longer sees it. You can use bluetooth pairing as the trigger point

I have same issue too i saw someone solved that problem with downgrading android and using otg adapter and micro usb to full size usb cable

Dual Audio feature in Media Panel is not working after Android 11 update

I used to connect 2 Bluetooth devices and listen on both devices at the same time on Android 10. Ever since the tablet got updated to Android 11, this dual audio feature doesn't work.
Steps I used on Android 10 to get dual audio is listed below. The same setup doesn't work on Android 11. Even though its able to connect to both devices, it is allowing to play on only one device at a time
1) Pair 2 Bluetooth devices
2) go to Media panel in the notifications section which allows you to enable sound on both devices at same time

Hi there,
You're not alone with this problem. It seems Samsung decided the S5e is not worth supporting this feature anymore and simply removed it with the update.
There's a thread in the Samsung community forum about it, but as you might guess, no official statement:
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tablets/dual-audio-fehlt-nach-update-auf-android-11-one-ui-3-1-tab-s5e/m-p/3606484#
Feel free to address your dissatisfaction there, the more voices, the higher the small chance of getting it back the way it was before...
Unfortunately the thread is in German, but making the problem more international can only help!

For anyone else searching forums on this issue, I did revert back to Android 10 on my S5e and I now have the feature back. As of now you can still successfully roll back to 10 via ODIN

I was actually thinking about that too, but this will void your warranty of the device, right?
Nevertheless, I'm still considering this, especially also since Samsung most likely won't provide another update to Android 12, even though the sister device Tab S6 is confirmed to get it.
Is there any particular how-to description that you followed, which you could link here?
Thanks for the hint!

I pretty much followed instructions in this youtube video:
As far as firmware to choose in video, I choose Cellular South since that is the USA version. And for my tablet there is no CP file since it doesnt have a radio. When you hold down volume keys and plug in tablet it also automatically goes in debug mode versus having to select it like he did, at least for me it did. I believe those were the only differences in video. It took my windows PC forever to download and install drivers, that was only hiccup. Took along time flash also, be patient, dont touch anything, let it do its thing.
As far as warranty, IDK, this is just flashing same Software back to device, not a custom ROM, no rooting required, seems like it wouldnt be void. You'd have to ask that question to more experienced members here. But I can tell you, warranties usually suck anyway, and if your device is good out of the box for a month it is typically good for years. Hit me up if you decide to do it and have a question, Ill try to help best I can. It was a must feature for me to have and so glad to have it back. I also used to watch movies with my wireless and hand someone else a wired pair, that feature also was removed in 11 but works in 10
