[ROM/DEV] Unofficial CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0 "GalaxyMini" Port

Note: This port is 100% built from source, heavily based on my "Galaxy5" device sources. The reason why I have decided to develop/release this ROM is that I prefer to use a vanilla CyanogenMod build (with no customized/extra apps included), and I noticed some issues with all existing builds (e.g. FM radio, audio device routing, native CyanogenMod USB tethering) which I have already fixed in my Galaxy 5 port.
I don't actually own this phone, but I will offer support in my free time while I still have the device in my possession, and sources are provided.
CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0 "GalaxyMini" Port
Latest release: v1.2 [26 January 2012]
Latest Google Apps package: official: 20110828
Hey folks,
This is a port of Cyanogen 7.2.0-RC0 (based on Android Gingerbread 2.3.7) for the Samsung Galaxy Mini (GT-S5570) phone. The current port status is stable - most hardware is working correctly, but see post #2 for known issues.
Thanks to all who have contributed/shared code from the Galaxy 5 port, as well as coolya, tj_style and teamhacksung for the kernel patches and reference Tass device configuration.
Pre-requisites:
Your phone must have a Gingerbread bootloader installed (as it uses the 2.6.35 kernel & Gingerbread proprietary files).
Any version of ClockworkMod that supports EXT4 partitions. Unfortunately, the build supplied with ROM Manager doesn't seem to be compatible.
Recommended: ensure that you have a backup of your current ROM and user data.
Installation:
Note 1: you always need to re-install the Google Apps package after installing a full update package.
Reboot into ClockworkMod. You can do this via adb reboot recovery, or by choosing the Reboot -> Recovery menu if you are already using CyanogenMod.
If you are upgrading from a stock or custom ROM, you absolutely must perform a data wipe: Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm the operation. Note that you will lose all of your user data, so be sure that you have performed a backup. Otherwise, skip to the next step.
Choose the option install update from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard. You will see the two (or three) .zip files in the list.
You must install the two (or three, if you have a hotfix) files in this exact order:
The base package named update-cm-7.X-GalaxyMini-vY.Z-MADTEAM-signed.zip
[If exists] The latest hotfix package for the same base package version, named GalaxyMini-vX.Y-hotfixZ.zip
The Google Apps package, named gapps-gb-DATE-signed.zip
Once all packages are installed, you can now reboot.
Installation (hotfix update only):
Note 1: hotfixes are cumulative - this means that you only need to install the latest hotfix, because it contains all the fixes of previous hotfixes.
Note 2: you don't need to re-install the Google Apps package if you are only installing a hotfix update.
Note 3: only install hotfixes that match the full update package version (e.g. v1.5hotfix1 only matches release version v1.5).
Note 4: hotfixes do not require a data-wipe.
Download the latest hotfix package and transfer to the SD card.
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
Choose install update from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard, select the hotfix and confirm installation.
Reboot.
Latest Changelog:
Note: "Data wipe?" only refers to when you upgrade from a previous version of my ROM - not anybody else's. For every other case, follow the guidelines of the Installation section above.
v1.2 [26 January 2012]
Data wipe? Only if you experience problems.
Updated CyanogenMod source.
Now includes ICS transition and rotation animations (merged officially into CM7.2).
Fix for rare issue where notification area items can get "stuck", causing notifications to malfunction.
Kernel: removed Samsung's drop_caches code in order to prevent periodic cache flushes that can reduce performance.
Wifi: disabled combo scan due to problems with reconnect from idle; tweaked TCP buffering to improve performance.
Bluetooth: improved configuration (enabled HFP support, increased max BT connections from 1 -> 3).
libaudio: updated code & removed proprietary liba2dp.so.
v1.1 [20 January 2012]
Hotfix 1 [20 January 2012]: Improve wifi connectivity (changed from ar6000 -> wext wpa_supplicant driver with combo scan enabled, enable ssid scanning in configuration to fix hidden networks); add missing FM Radio application; updated proprietary files with newer versions and added some missing files to fix keymaps.
Data wipe? Only if you experience problems.
Updated CyanogenMod source.
Kernel: fixed charge reboot issue (thanks to squadzone for tip).
Kernel: patched bma_accel_driver.c to enforce minimum poll_delay threshold. This fixes all Google Maps 6.x issues, and will probably also fix lag issues in applications that try to excessively poll sensor data.
v1.0 [15 January 2012]
Hotfix 2 [17 January 2012]: Framework: reduced LatinIME key height in landscape mode (.25in -> .23in). Kernel: tweak smartassV2 CPU scheduler to make better use of the Mini's available CPU frequencies; removed SCHED_HRTICK kernel tweak due to instability/random reboot issue; update CPU & AHB overclock code (CPU overclock up to 864Mhz, but 844Mhz seems to be the maximum stable frequency for my phone; AHB now overclocks at frequencies higher than 400Mhz instead of 480Mhz). Once again: overclock frequencies are not activated until you enable them manually, and you do so at your own risk.
Hotfix 1 [15 January 2012]: Framework: enable purging of unused assets by default. Kernel: enable "veno" TCP congestion protocol to improve wireless reception, configuration changes to help battery usage, several stability & performance patches (see github commits), enabled CPU overclock to 768Mhz with 50% AHB overclocking (thanks to kalltkaffe). Note: the kernel will always boot at the safe frequency of 604Mhz; you must manually enable overclocked frequencies in CyanogenMod - Performance -> CPU. I accept no responsibility for damage as a result of using overclocked frequencies!
Initial status: everything appears to be working correctly (but I may have overlooked some issues).
Based on latest CyanogenMod source (Android version 7.2-RC0)
Patched: wpa_supplicant_v6 ar6000 supplicant driver
Patched: swap volume control buttons at 90 degrees orientation
Patched: enable bcm2049 fm radio & better seek support
Kernel: based on teamhacksung's android_kernel_samsung_msm, with additional patches: BFQ IO scheduler (default), interactiveX, smartassV2 (default) cpu schedulers, fix for CyanogenMod native USB tethering, replaced ramzswap driver (for CMParts/compcache/rzscontrol ioctl compatibility).
Source Code:
Kernel: https://github.com/psyke83/android_kernel_samsung_msm
Device: https://github.com/psyke83/android_device_samsung_tass

Further Information
Not working / TODO:
SIM Toolkit (menus will display, but options/commands do not process properly when selected).
Battery drains: CyanogenMod doesn't report the battery status properly. Please read this post.
Not working / WONTFIX:
Kies. Don't expect Kies to support any custom ROMS.
Before you ask...
I have no interest or intention to further "mod" the ROM with any kind of hacks or customizations (like custom apps, themes, Swype, etc.). My only aim is to have a 100% stable port of CyanogenMod code. Any such requests will be ignored.
Reporting bugs
You must follow these instructions exactly, or I will ignore your requests. Provide the following information:
The version of the ROM you are using (to confirm that you have the latest release)
Report any customizations you have made to the ROM (themes, system apps, etc.)
Describe the problem clearly, including steps on how I can reproduce the issue.
Provide a logcat from your system taken just after the issue has occurred. To take a logcat, you enter this command from your PC: adb shell logcat -d >c:\logcat.txt. Copy and paste this log to pastebin.com, and provide the link.
If I ask you to re-test the issue after a data-wipe, do the following: reboot into ClockworkMod, perform a full backup, then data-wipe, reboot and retest the issue, giving a new log if necessary. You can then reboot into ClockworkMod and restore your data backup.

I tested squadzone's RC4 build - it was nice, but I noticed some problems that I already fixed in my galaxy5 port (the hardware is very similar). I already mentioned a few of the bugs in the blue text of post #1. I also don't really like when Google apps or other third-party apps/customizations are bundled in a ROM - my CM7 build is as close to an official build as possible (no added apps, themes, modified effects).
My kernel is quite simple, based on teamhacksung's source with patches to fix some bugs related to USB tethering and just the best IO/CPU schedulers added. Overclocking is not added to my kernel, but I may add it later on, once I've had time to test overclock stability on this device.
If you don't care about "purity" and you like all the extras included with squadzone's ROM, feel free to continue using it . It's nice to have more choice, I think.

I like you bro..
And I'm pretty sure I will like your work also..
much much better ... more power.
Btw .. I like that word... "Purity" = "Cleanliness"

i`ve tested it , and hard to say..ITS AWESOME !!!
Pros
Density fit for our phone
clean UI
apps working great
no more scatter video
Cons
a bit laggy dude
can you make the kernel and make it more smooth ?? i really love your ROM

Could you upload screenshots? I really want to see how this turns out.

Thats not fair.
I loved cm7 rc4 rom from Squad. But as you mentioned there are still to many bugs. For example camera has not sometimes, it has always wrong oriantation. No radio, etc.
Therefore I went to emanoN v3. This rom is really good. Now emanoN has an update and cm7 comes back newly and clean programmed.
I will give it a try. Thanks for your time and support offering us this rom.
Grettings from Ruhrpott http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhr

the best cm7 build until now
but i have i question: the lockscreen seems not working, i think it's turned off because i can wake up the phone only with home or power button, and i'm on home screen immediately without unlocking
i checked in cyano lockscreen settings and there is no lockscreen on/off option
however, on the one hand it's good too because in my pocket it's impossible that home or power button gets pressed
so it's a bug or feature?
and big thanks for this clean cm7 build, i appreciate your work

Actually i find this post the best...
Only ... the problem is...
can you return the density like tj_style density of cm7?
its hard to get over with... a change in density i mean.
looking forward on your next update!!!..
i love this !! were getting cm7 updates...
....

[ROM] Unofficial Cyanogenmod 12.1 with CAF Kernel 3.4.0 [2015-09-09]

Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war,
* or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research
* if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
This ROM is an unofficial build on CyanogenMod 12.1. Originaly (back in November 2014), the project was only about the kernel but I thought that a full ROM might a better.
So, why would you install this ROM ?
The main reason would be to upgrade significantly the kernel :
- get rid of the old LNX.LA.3.5.1 kernel base (from February 2014) and switch to a brand new LA.BF lollipop base
- to get a smoother experience of CyanogenMod
- to enjoy some CAF taste in all of his glory
- if you are an enthusiast
This ROM uses custom HALs so I'm not responsable of incompatibility with eventual custom kernels and I won't "Add support"
ROM Features :
- Based off latest generic CyanogenMod 12.1 nightly source
- OTA updates via built-in CMUpdater (LZMA Compressed)
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 display HAL (improved display performance)
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 media HAL (improved video performance)
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 audio HAL (improved audio performance)
- Latest Motorola LPB23.13-37 5.1 Vendor Files
- Latest kernel.org f2fs binaries
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 Media Codecs / Audio Policy / Bluetooth configs
- LZMA Compressed recovery images
- QCOM Bionic Optimizations
Kernel Features :
- Based off latest CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 kernel source from Qualcomm
- As clean as possible, it matches CAF
- Vanilla CAF LA.BF.1.1.1.c5 Wi-Fi Prima driver (better wifi performance)
- Uses ZEN i/O Scheluder by default
- First Lollipop Overclock
- Underclocking
- Smartmax Governor
- My own akm8963 driver re-work for LPM/HBM mode
- The best is in comming
But, why is it in alpha ?:
It's in alpha state because not many people tested it and maybe there are some unknown bugs.
Speaking of bugs here they are :
Code:
[B]Known bugs[/B]
- 5 sec blackscreen at boot (doesn't affect bootime) [B][COLOR="red"][/COLOR]the first boot blackscreen is even longer so just wait and it will boot, builds or tested do not worry[/B]
- Offline charge is broken (same reason as blacksreen)
I released even if those bugs because they doesn't break the ROM experience itself (and because I wait for realeasing this ROM since ages)
They will, of course, fixed as soon as possible.

I'm not a fan of CM but my brain forces me to try this...

Can't try this ROM right now since I use my moto g as my daily driver but good to see some nice development going on!

It's fully stable, you just don't see 5 sec from the bootanimation.

I will install it and try it but I need to charge my Moto G Good job !!!

Damn, bootanimation doesnt show at all, i reflashed three times thinking something was wrong, and i lost patience thinking my phone turned off after google logo, but it booted. It works great btw, stable and all, and overall fast. Nice work. Now just remove the stupid cm theme engine and implement layers, and you have most custom unoffical cyanogenmod rom.

Yeah, the bootanimation bug is annoying, but you'll see that you get just a 5 sec blackscreen on reboots. It was just the first boot xD
Hmmm ... I don't think I will remove the CM Theme Engine : as I said, this project wasn't a ROM originally (I made a ROM to avoid HAL issues actually) I just wanted to make big background optimizations. So on the apparence/look part, I won't differ from CM.

My opinion (is still black screen after flashing). Just make optimizations and don't change the features or other things. To be just an optimized CM 12.1 ROM.

Too bad, well i guess i'll stay with the stock theme then, because i seek for stability, and that's pretty rare nowadays.

omg, thanks for this @h2o64.. gonna try it out...

Hi,
I installed all my apps about 30 apps and every app work without problems fc or other problems except one: Zonga - it's a music streaming app developed by Vodafone Romania and in other ROMs it's working but here it doesn't have sound and If I press play doesn't play from first I need to skip the track and the next one plays without music.
I will attach soon a logcat.

Thank you so much for your and other developers hard work!
Will try this rom and give you a feedback ...

Hi, I wanna give you a quick feedback after 1 hour on the thor rom...
1) after the installation (did a factory reset) it comes with a bluethoot error and the service doesnt work.
I did a restart and switched it on ... off ... on ...off the first and secound time bluethooth seems to work (but did'nt make a link) but after that the service didnt come back.
2) After I switch off the display I have to reboot to get it back. So I only get a blackscreen with backlight.
3) Rotation works well but a few apps rotate in the wrong direction. But this is not a big thing!
4) Batteryusage didnt show apps and the graphic locks buggy
this are my first impressions

- Didn't really test much on thor so probably problems in the kernel causing blackscreen for thor
- seems to work flawlessly on apollo
- will look into thor issues before next build
- thanks for the early feedback
- updated op known issues

Thanks!
Excellent work @ggow, I just dirty flashed Apollo version, and must say I am pretty impressed, everything vent smoothly, the only FC I get was from clock app, but that was expected... :good:
Is there any recommended xposed version working with this ROM?
So far I found one small graphic glitch, you can see it on attached picture (you can see only half of the first notification)...
OK that's all for now, going to test how fast this can burn through hdx battery, so far every LP ROM I tested on my phones was really power hungry...

I've tried this ROM.. smooth as hell...
but if I not geting wrong, no LTE...( I am on Apollo)
Is that right? Or I made something wrong...

New Build For Thor
- This temporarily patches the problem on Thor with the screen not coming out of standby properly

What is the difference between this and the CM12 one that was updated the 15th of August?

- Best to try it and find out.
- New kernel based on and modified from Stock 4.5.5 and latest MSM8974 CAF branch
- Rebased MDSS kernel driver is fully functional on Apollo Devices

Does the Apollo support otg? I just plugged my USB otg from my nexus 6, but stick mount says there isn't anything that needs mounted,

- OTG support isn't available at least at the moment.
- Not completely certain what the story is with OTG on Apollo and Thor
- I have seen various comments about this
- Some have said it might be a limitation of the hardware or a limitation imposed from the bootloader.
- Needs investigating to be sure of what can be done.

well xposed for LP actually works

I just had to try it and it's working! :laugh:
So if anyone wants to try xposed for lollipop, go for it (make sure you don't have any "xposed leftovers" from KitKat like me (gravity box i. e.) and uninstall them first)
be sure you did nandroid backup in TWRP before you flash xposed for lollipop in TWRP (yes, framework needs to be flashed)
I used xposed-v73-sdk22-arm.zip
Reboot into ROM and install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
That's it, happy hacking...

YouTube in FullHD
And I don't know what magic @ggow did this time, but we finally have here YouTube app where we can choose 1080p streaming ! Yay! This just made my day!
Or Google finally allowed this for every mobile users in latest YouTube app? Anyone on CM11 or Nexus 4 can check if its there too?

If u want more fluid and ram try Neat kernel

Sreenshots

Awesome ROM!! I was gonna skip KK after losing IMEI/APN/BASEBAND in various KK ROM's, but this one's been rock solid. Very stable. LP's notifications UI is great, but the eventual lag kinda spoils it. So, it's nice to have a solid KK ROM to use as a DD fallback. Not being forced to use MTP is a nice bonus. UMS is so much faster & more convenient, imo.
Could you provide a flashable Kernel only .zip (for the kernel used in your rom)?
I've been testing kernels and wanted to cleanly revert back to your default kernel whenever necessary. NeatKernel v1.11 (20140724) yields an impressive 417 MB RAM, but it obviously breaks 720p video playback. Surprisingly, I can still record video (just can't play it back). lyahmanKernel 20150722 (with Bigmem on) simply crashes when taking video. I used Semaphore KK v3.4.3 (20140315) zip contents and replaced the boot.img with yours, but I wasn't exactly sure if the META-INF (updater-script) was cleanly compatible for this ROM. After going back & forth between various kernels, it seems to be ok. Just wanted an "official" kernel zip to use just in case.
Is Stagefright patched in this ROM? IIRC, Coldwindofnowhere's OmniROM 5.1.1 (20151202) is the only recent ROM I've seen that indicates the Android Security Patch Level in settings.
Also, can Halo be completely removed or disabled? The novelty wears off after a while. I have it turned off but keep accidentally hitting the toggle in the notifications pulldown. Just wanted to remove that toggle somehow. Didn't notice anything in settings Halo section. Or, can it be frozen in TB? I'm assuming it's bundled with other system settings.

If you want Stagefright patched 4.4.2 rom i guess @althafvly will need to cherry-pick some commits from cm12.1 (see on cm gerrit ... i think it's possible to do so, even if i'm pretty sure you will get some conflicts) .

Which META-INF - updater-script file should I use? I just used Semaphore KK v3.4.3's updater-script, and it seemed to be ok. Just wanted to see what you recommended.

I was hoping Stagefright would get patched in currently released builds. I like how your omni-5.1.1-20151202 build included the 2015-11-01 Android Security Patch. I just kept losing IMEI/APN/BB after flashing SuperSU-4.26.zip. That was a freaky fast rom (@ 1200 OC), but I just couldn't get past the IMEI issue.

@Audiracecar90 - The kernel file in the zip is named boot.img.img. Since the updater-script references boot.img, maybe this was a typo? Was wondering why when I flashed this rom, the kernel would not change. Anyways, just an observation. Thanks again for this great KK rom.

If you open up the rom .zip, the actual name of the kernel file = "boot.img.img"
Is that extra ".img" supposed to be in the name?

[Kernel] SMF-KERNEL - RR/AICP/LOS/AOSP - 8.1

Hello!
I want to introduce my first custom kernel for the Essential PH-1. This is based of several sources, I cherry-picked commits to make improvements to the stock LOS kernel. I'm not a developer, but i really like to port stuff over .
Kernel is suitable for AOSP based ROMS such as RR/AICP/CARBON/LOS etc... If you want to request for specific features, let me know and i'll do my best to bring them over.
Special Features:
Updated to lastest LOS Stock Kernel
Added a few governors like: cultivation / impulse
added a few IO Schedulers: Maple
Kcal Color Control driver
USB Fast Charge - pending will be added in R2
SafetyNet Patch (Bypass bootloader unlocked check)
Dynamic Fsync control
a little Overclock - will be added in R2
Motorola Quickwake - Will be added in R2
and manny other small fixes (you can check the commits in the sources)
Download
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you use this and brick your device or if your device blows up, implodes, flames start shooting from it or it kills your neighbor's dog. Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible.... It was the other guy... I swear....
Latest Release: SMF-Kernel R2
Known issues:
05.17.2018 - CPU Freq don't always stick, known issue caused by other drivers. Phone will eventually set your frequencies, dont' panic.
Installation:
Obviouly you have a Unlocked Bootloader since you're running a custom rom (make sure to never lock your bootloader in this state)
Boot into Bootloader (adb reboot Bootloader)
If you want to root flash the "Magisk" version of the kernel, it's been prerooted with the latest Magisk Beta available.
Code:
fastboot flash boot SMF-Kernel-R1-Magisk.img
reboot
If you want to manually root, first flash twrp, then from twrp flash the 'non magisk' version and after that flash the magisk zip.

Looks awesome! I'll give it a try soon!
(For anyone wondering about overclocking the CPU, he committed some changes to the github that would apply this and it should appear in the next revision of the kernel.)

Just installed and so far it's buttery smooth.

I'm glad is running fine for you!

Good stuff, thanks for this! Could you tell me a little more about cultivation? I can't seem to find much information online about it
Also a request, if possible vibration level control would be super appreciated

I found Cultivation to be really great in terms of perfornance. It's a little bit agressive with the CPU so you get buttery smooth experience with Screen On but it may cost a few % on battery at the end of the day. The good thing is that it has specific tunables and you can set a low cpu freq for when the screen is off.
Specific details from its developer:
-based off of caf 4.4 commits
-uses per-pcu timers
-use state_notifier for screen off timer
option to set different timer rate when screen off
-improrted fastlane with threshold from blu_active
In regards of vibration control. It should be there. I'm using EX Kernel Manager and i can see the vibration option under "Miscellaneous"

Thanks for the info on cultivation, I don't mind trading some battery life for butter so I'm using it now
For the vibration control, it doesn't actually work/stick. I've tried kernel auditor and EX Kernel Manager. To be fair, so far it has only worked on LOS and I think invisiblek may have rewritten the stock controller or something so no worries if it isn't a high priority haha

I'll take a look at the latest commits but I've used the latest los kernel base so I'm not sure why is not sticking maybe it needs rom support too (not sure honestly) hahaha
I've been testing R2 since yesterday. Will update after y he weekend!

Just out of curiosity, was anything involving the camera done to this kernel? I am now able to record videos without the bug, on any of the affected ROMs, with this kernel.

So far, AICP and LOS, both with Essential camera app and GCAM port, HD and 4K, 30 and 60 fps where applicable. Issues presented before flashing very consistently, and so far I have been unable to replicate after flashing this kernel.

Sp you were right. Honestly don't know what happened but I installed the latest RR (clean install) put R2 on top of it and bam recording works as you mentioned lol..
I guess it was a lucky strike!

after flashing the kernel with magisk, stuck on "AICP is starting"
is this normal?
update: the phone works but no magisk (pre root) after flashing the kernel.....

Hey!
Have you booted once and setup everything before flashing the prerooted image?
I've had that error but having all set and then flashing the image will get me rooted. Try to see if you can find magisk manager in the apps list from the settings if you do, reboot and there will be magisk

the phone was running AICP and I wanted root so I flash the kernel. I can't find the magisk manager or in the settings about magisk. I guess you have to clean install from the beginning to get the root. Thank you for the Kernel

Shouldn't. If you flashed the prerooted magisk image try downloading the magisk manager app manually from xda and see if magisk works
