Samsung A40 on ponce's Pixel Experience GSI issue - Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers

I've been trying a lot of different Android 12 roms and GSI's but ponce's AOSP and Pixel Experience seem to make my phone reboot whenever the camera is being used or MTP is enabled (The same happens on Android 11 version)
Does anyone know a fix for this?

TWRP showing SDK level of 22(5.1.1) when trying to flash 7.1 ROMs

Anyone know why this might be happening? I updated to the latest (3.0.2 r5) and it's still happening with multiple ROMs I tried to flash. Not sure what to do about it at all.

Android Auto: Something Went Wrong (Google Play Services)

I recently acquired a Nexus 6P.
TWRP is properly installed as the Recovery - twrp-3.2.3-0-angler
First thing I did with the device was flash the latest Android 8.1 Oreo version to it - angler-ota-opm7.181205.001-abb36a2f
I then installed Lineage OS 15.1, Open G Apps 8.1 (nano), and SU
From there I've done nothing but struggle with bugs and quirks. The device has been re-imaged several different times, with different variations of the above setup, and one of the main things I need to get working (Android Auto) keeps failing. Does anyone have any idea why Android Auto keeps pulling up the error "Google Play Services doesn't seem to be working right now"
All of the suggestions I've found online have failed. Screenshots have been provided for the version info and error. I've already cleared the data caches and tried to re-install and re-flash the device.
I got pissed and went back to JUST the stock OTA for testing/verification. With the stock rom there are no issues. Seems like Lineage OS 15.1 on the Nexus 6P has some bugs to work out. A fully functional stock phone is better then being frustrated.
If anyone can confirm I'm not crazy or explain what I missed while troubleshooting that would be awesome.

P9 Camera for Treble GSI

Hello Friends
I have experimented with flex1911's camera and finaly succeded to make flashable zip of Huawei camera for Treble GSI roms.
Camera has only been tested on Havoc 2.9 ROM for now and everything is working.
Feel free to try it on other ROMs and report.
Installation:
Flash Treble Pie GSI (fastboot)
Flash TWRP recovery (fastboot)
Flash Camera (TWRP)
Big thanks to flex1911 and Phie, without their work this would not be possible.

Thanks for the zip:good:
aand since you also got a P9 running havoc 2.9 gsi, may I ask you whether bmgr backupmanager works for you, if you can access all apps in play store (ie whatsapp) or pass safetynet with any Magisk version higher than 19.3? That are the remaining issues I have using this rom, aside from wifi hotspot and network signal indication.
I've seen this thread from @Hami_Do over at the P10 lite forums and thought maybe we can do something similar and collect fixes for hi3650 specific issues on gsi roms.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/how-to/gsis-manual-fixes-hi6250-devices-t3936745
What totally works on the P9 as well is their offline charging animation fix.
And what also makes quite a difference is the 'Hwcomposer' fix, which basically brings stock-like smoothness and screen quality on gsi, and even seems to save some battery.
I doubt their zip works on hi3650 devices but I've collected the files from vendor and the trick does work on our devices too, but it's not yet flashable. Maybe you want to help.
BlurryUi workaround in phh treble app needs to be checked (debug.hwui.profile=true) and disable hw-overlays in developer option toogled few times to get it started.

I have not tried backup manager. Whatsapp is not in play store. Not passing safetynet, and Magisk is version 20.1.
For those fixes i think it would be best to ask guys on original thread can we use their stuff as a base and than start making those fixes one by one.
I have not really tried to fix all that stuff couse this is my backup phone. We can try for sure.
So for a start I came up with a quick& dirty playstore fix.
Booted emui, compared its reported features and plainly copied everything over that was missing from havoc report. Result is attached. Copy to /system/etc/sysconfig chmod 644, clear playstore data and reboot. All apps will appear. Also no fc anymore when trying to access nfc/bluetooth settings from menu. Backup manager still fails though
Also found an app in Playstore that can show the real network signal values on gsi despite the OS failure. Network Cell Info Lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfolite&hl=de
Maybe we can debug and look what it does differently from @phhusson implementation to fix it

TNX BRO for your great work
but can you explain more ? how to this?
HTML:
phh treble app needs to be checked (debug.hwui.profile=true)
and this attachment file just flash frm twrp and done?
Phh treble app is in settings menu, on any phh based gsi rom I guess. Just scroll down a bit? Checking the option just sets the property. You can also add the line to build.prop or use an init script as well. It's not a flashable zip, files need to get copied over either via adb or root explorer. A good app to notice the difference is cpu-z. If it's text is always sharp like in the screenshot, it's working and if it comes up blurry, it's not
Thanks for the zip for gsi.
@lo_ol on gsi phh app no choice that !
What copy exactly to fix blurry ? Can explain more and simply , thanks ^_^

Android 10 GSI

Note: Make sure your phone is decrypted and do not turn on the secure boot feature where you need to put in your pattern to boot system!
So as I'm currently without a PC and can't restore the stock images I wanted to share the best method for using Android 10 I've found.
Get the latest phh gsi image v210 is what I used.
Get the latest Lineage OS GSI 17.1 image.
Get the Trinity v2 kernel (beta is what I used).
Get the latest Android 10 pico or nano gapps from opengapps. (I used nano)
Boot to recovery and factory reset.
Install phh gsi IMG to system. When finished don't reboot. (I do this to keep security patches as up to date as possible)
Install LineageOS IMG (DIRTY FLASH).
Install Trinity Kernel to Boot
Reboot system
(Optional once you fully boot you can reboot recovery and flash the f2fs zip from Arter Kernel then reboot recovery and wipe data. When you reboot system you may freeze during setup just reboot by holding the power in until the phone restarts. It will finish setup this time.)
Reboot recovery and flash gapps. If you get error 70 resize the system partition. It will work after resizing once or twice.
When it boots you can do your traditional setup.
Reboot recovery and Install Magisk v20.3.zip
Reboot system and Install Magisk Modules Busybox for Android NDK and Magisk Hide Props Config.
Install terminal app of choice following Reboot
Type su in terminal and hit enter
Type props in terminal and hit enter
Change the fingerprint to Razer Android v9 and Reboot following the prompts.
Congratulations you now have LineageOS Android 10 and are passing safetynet.
Notes:
You can Install v4a if you want.
I highly suggest installing the l'speed module from Magisk as it stabilizes the freezing/kernel.
You can also Install EdXposed and the beta for GravityBox Q ... Still passing safetynet.
Logo++ will fix your Razer logo on the rear of device.
Bluetooth works fine as does everything I've tested.
Downloads needed:
Latest phh GSI for AOSP Android 10
Latest LineageOS 17.x GSI Image
Trinity Kernel (v2)
Magisk v20.3
Pico or Nano GAPPS from OpenGapps
Optional:
V4A (requires the Magisk Module Audio Modification Library)
EdXposed Riru - Core (Magisk Module)
EdXposed - Sandhook Beta / Canary (Installed from manager)
EdXposed - Latest Manager (do not use Taichi)
GravityBoxQ Beta (gives you a lot of customization like the battery icon in statusbar)
Logo+
LSpeed Module for Magisk (lspeed-master.zip)
F2FS_FSTAB.zip from ArterKernel Thread
***Note*** this isn't flawless but when using the LSpeed Magisk Module it's very close**"
**"" LineageOS Freezes every now and then where the AOSP GSI doesn't but I can't get the AOSP to pass safetynet***
Screenshots
Note I changed the font to Comfortaa via Magisk Font Changer Module
SafetyNet
Magisk modules I personally use. Ignore older versions of the same module.
Change the fingerprint to Razer Android v9 and Reboot following the prompts.

Will game booster work in cortex app?
I'm on T-mobile, and with every 10 Gsi I've tried, I've installed the required ims.apk. Unfortunately, I can only send sms, not recieve. Do you not have this problem?
Can you receive text messages through LTE? I can't seem to get it to work on T-mobile.

Try moving the ims.apk to /vendor/overlay and see if that works.

I've re-imaged my phone too many times already, losing countless hours going back to stock when the GSI doesn't work. I'll let someone else give it a shot.

No doubt I'm through with flashing back to stock countless times.....so over it
Wish I had more time and knew more about Android to bake us up a solid AOSP ROM for this phone. Great hardware to work with here and like I've said before I can't believe there is not one Dev in this community to pick this phone up as cheap as it is and get something going

I feel like it's the nature of ROM developers sticking to the devices they have. They are currently developing for other phones, and don't want to have to move/develop for a new phone, nor do they have the time to develop for another phone. To be fair, we are not completely in the dark; f(x)THaxxorX seems to be working on patched versions of popular GSIs that are more suited for the hardware of the RP2:

Ugh. I don't know why I keep trying. SMS doesn't work over LTE on TMobile using this method either. OP, your profile says you're on TMobile. Have you solved this problem somehow?

Are you still trying to use a Q GSI? If you are willing to go back to a Pie-based GSI, installing ims.apk and moving the apk to "/vendor/overlay/" works every time for me.

From my experience, Pie ROMs have issues with the fingerprint scanner reliability, and media in a lot of games seems to have buffering issues as it frequently cuts out.

I have the same problems on ArrowOS(the fingerprint sensor problem is pretty rare. The speaker issue is really annoying, but it only happens at low volumes), but I guess it depends on how much you're willing to take. If you want to keep to use Q GSIs, our best option is just to wait for patched GSIs by f(x)THaxxorX that might be coming out at some point(Soon™).

I think the speaker itself might have issues as I even had this issue with Android 9 GSIs, from what I remember. At first I suspected buffer-related issues but after some testing it doesn't seem to be the only issue. Setting the media volume to at least 50% would allow most of the audio to get out of the speaker, but at max volume the speaker can be really loud (to the point that I feel the speaker could be potentially damaged) so I usually set it to at most 80% when I need to place the phone a bit far from where I am.
Also, I haven't gotten aptX working on Android 10 GSIs due to a strange null pointer dereference bug which would crash the entire Bluetooth stack. Only SBC works as intended. As I noticed that the author of gjf_bt Magisk module (which adds aptX libraries as well as SBC tweaks) recently blacklisted Android 10 and onwards, I think the issue might have more to do with the Android 10 system itself.
Hey! Can anyone confirm if LDAC is working on this? I have never rooted a phone before just doing it to enable LDAC. Also, does this OS support setting for Refresh rate?
I love Lineage OS 17, but I noticed that I don't receive text messages anymore. I could receive text messages when I first flashed it, and after a couple of hours, I could not. Then, I could send messages and I could send and receive calls. I could use data. I could not receive text messages. Is there a fix for this problem? I tried using Lineage 16, but I still could not receive text messages. I am back to stock, for the moment. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using AT&T service.

Redmi k20 gets stuck while trying to play sound

Since Friday my device is restarting automatically with error DEVICE CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY
I tried hard reset went to service centre they did an software upgrade and then a downgrade to 12.0.3 from 12.0.5 but nothing worked
And now when i try to play any sound whether through YouTube , Music etc it is just crashing
Even the Sound settings are not opening and i couldn't connect to calls either and volume keys are also not working
Seems like hardware problem
But other things are working
Are you sure they did upgrade and downgrade?
Was it full wipe?
It recommend to flash custom ROM and see if sth cbange
Yes they did downgrade from 12.0.5 to 12.0.3
And I had full wiped from recovery 2-3 times
And yesterday I noticed one more thing my front pop-up camera was working fine but when I enabled sound effect for it
It just freezes
Ok, so that's officially India MIUI issue
try this
This is ultra battery saving option related and they're working on an update
i have already tried all these but nothing works and how my device is stuck in fastboot mode while trying to flash stock rom through mi flash tool
You mentioned earlier that phone is boiting, but it restarts often.
What error in miflash?
Yes it was booting then only when I tried to flash miui11 through mi flash tool it got stuck in fastboot mode
Mi flash was giving crclist error everytime
Anyways I have successfully flashed miui 11 through twrp but the above problems are still there
I had exactly the same issue with this device.
Then tried 5/6 custom roms of android 11.
Nothing worked, every os had it's own issue.
Then lastly I've installed PIXEL EXPERIENCE 10 PLUS rom and the phone started to work fluid.
I have a same problem. Whenever accessing sound, if freezes and restarts! Went to Mi center. They said they have to replace the motherboard . Actually it's one of the IC that's malfunctioning... Here's a video -
Let e know If there's any ROM that gets around this issue

Nope the audio issues cannot be fixed with any software. I think it's caused due to some IC failure.
You would have to change the motherboard to fix the issue or you have to be a professional electronics engineer who knows and have the equipment for micro soldering.
The same issue was encountered with me also. I am in great distress right now. Tried more than 30+ ROMs (including recover, fast boot, custom, and stock), but nothing helps.
IF you find anything please update here.. THat’ll be a great help indeed!!
