Good work. You people must have some nice skills...

hey buddy... just wondering if there was any update to your progress. were eagerly awaiting to see whats up with the camera. also, have you found any other bugs in the past week? thanks for your dedication!

I am working on version 1.2 at the moment (time permitting).
In the next release I am hoping to include the following:
1. Working Camera
Have made significant progress - can now get an image in my test app - so now looking to build a version of the AOSP camera from source.
2. Fix for the widget picker (done).
3. Working Kindle Reader App (tbd).
4. Updated WiFi driver (done).

Sounds excellent ! Thanks for all of ur time and look forward to your release. All the hate on our kindle and it's unwarranted. With a rooted kindle and gapps installed properly this is a very hefty machine.

This older version works with this build...
https://mega.co.nz/#!xwJBFQBL!0oyBAMyLxZsJFiZ17ijzpyaK8VpnyvHEDy0ZJZTfm8c
but I tested the newest one downloaded from amazon too, and that versions installs, but is not working (just open and close)
so:
appstore release-9.0003.638.OC_639000310 - not working
appstore release-5.0000.147.OC_635000010 - working
maybe other newer (but not latest) version works too
hope this help you

Very nice:cyclops:
Great work:highfive:

Just a quick update on what's going on:
1. Working Camera
Can now take pictures with the Front and Rear cameras successfully...
1.1 Video Recording (under investigation).
However the video recording mode isn't working properly for the front camera (the picture is stretched in the Y axis) and not working at all for the rear camera (force closes).
2. Fix for the widget picker (done).
3. Working Kindle Reader App (done - interim fix is by installing an older version of Amazon Reader App - Link will be provided with the new release - I still intend on looking into why amazon apps are force closing on the HDX devices).
4. Updated WiFi driver (done).

We anxiously await ur Rom. U need a tester? I know it's bad manners to ask for a release date but when do you think you'll release 1.2? Sorry for asking but we're all anxious and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

What kind of changes are you seeing in the WiFi? More stable? I know that others (myself included) have had WiFi issues off and on, so I was curious what all this might have changed/made better. I know there is a bug that causes a crash whenever you enable WiFi after the device has been booted with WiFi disabled. Do you know if this fixes that bug? Also, is this something that could be updated through an apk for us 7" HDX owners?

In my tests here I have a DLINK DIR-655 router, was constantly getting dropouts/disconnects in WIFI connection and have not seen any problems with the new driver. So at least for me on my hdx 8.9" device it's rock solid so far.
Although I cannot explicitly say whether the new driver fixes the wifi reboot bug. I can confirm that whilst I have been testing the new driver this problem doesn't exist for me. It used to happen when I had the stock rom. I have been testing this since I did the first release of Apollo Gapps.
It's not something that can be packaged up as an apk, but I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to create a flashable zip package for TWRP

Unfortunately I can't give you a date, this is the first time I have done any real android ROM development so please bear with me.
Amazon's stock ROM drove me to the point of insanity which in turn drove me to do something about it. I'm very glad I did as I now have a usable tablet which is a lot more functional.
It may take a bit of time but hopefully worth the wait.

I haven't benchmarked anything so I don't know. However the user experience is far better for me on Apollo Gapps than with Amazon's stock rom

A flashable zip would be nice when you can get around to it. I'll have no problem testing it out on my 7" HDX. My WiFi at home has no problems, but I have the constant drop and reconnect issue with my hotspot.

I've fixed the video preview on the front camera.
Will try to tackle the back camera video force closing.
If this one looks like it will drag on the I'll do an interim release.

keyboard?
Hey. Can u extract the amazon keyboard from the stock Rom and create An apk or flashable zip with it? I'm not digging the aosp key board on our 8.9". It seems to take up way more screen real estate and I actually like the look and feel of the amazon one. It has Swype and a better auto correct. Thanks!!!

The stock amazon keyboard will not work in this ROM due to it's dependancy on missing libraries etc.

I am going to release version 1.2 of Apollo Gapps. I'll update the First post to reflect changes and issues remaining. It might take a while because my broadband connection is crap.
While I am doing this the original download link will not be available.

Multisim FAQ
How to enable/disable multisim?
Install a terminal and type the following
Enable:
Code:
su
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds
Disable:
Code:
su
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config none
Or use the file manager in root mode, search for build.prop and change persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds (enable) or persist.radio.multisim.config=none (disable)
Dual SIM has the following limitations:
Both SIMs are always enabled (no way to disable one SIM)
"Receive incoming call while data is enabled" is always enabled
The QuickSettings tile will display the status for the currently selected SIM for data
Changing 2G/3G network mode using the QuickSettings toggle is not supported, only do it from Settings.
3G may not work properly if Dual SIM mode is enabled with only 1 SIM inserted

Ok, this rom seems pretty stable. I think dual sim should work and games like clash of clans won't close themseves. However I don't really know if lock screen widgets works (already searched on privacy and didn't found anything). For those who like features and doesn't need the lock screen widgets, this rom should be great
Edit: Ok, I found how to activate lock screen widgets. It seems it is necessary to disable low ram mode... Well, I'll release RC 1.1 with lock screen widgets working soon

Hmm that's weird. I'm using it right now and I don't have those problems. Those problems happened to you only on this rom or also on other roms? And did you use CWM or TWRP?

Hi, well im using CWM but discovered that this trouble its related with the Gapps.. :S when i change the gapps using another micro or nano version everything works fine. so its not a issue directly of the rom.. and its awesome.. thanxs again..
Greetings

Is this ROM Better/More stable than NamelessRom? i still can't decide wich one to download...
By the way, youtube doesn't work correctly on CM 11.0 and SlimKat 4.4.4, videos just seem to keep buffering till a. The app crashes, or b. The entire cellphone restarts itself... so I'm trying these two and i need to know wich one is better (in terms of performance, and youtube)
Anyways thanks for giving ROMs to our old little Samsung Galaxy Music

CM11 is the perfect ROM for this phone. For YouTube, try either this version of the YouTube app or any of the alternate apps from the F-Droid repository.

Which ROM are you flashing? Carbon? Did you try any of the others? CM11? If not, try flashing that. Don't flash GApps immediately. Just flash ROM and boot the phone. Let everything settle down for about five minutes and then flash GApps.

Yes

Hello, I'm really sorry to bump this thread, but, some time ago, it seems like this youtube app just stopped working, it just gives an error (401 or something like that) or it straight out tells me that a new version of youtube is available (The broken, original one from the playstore).
So, basically, is there another modified youtube app I can try out that allows me to watch videos on 4.4.4 again? The original YouTube still buffers forever :crying:
Again, sorry for bumping this thread, I hadn't had the time to post this here...

Try one of these. Of these, I've personally used NewPipe, SkyTube and Webtube and they all work without issue. Do try them out and provide feedback here so others can also benefit from your experience...

I'm sorry to say that none of these work on a Samsung Galaxy Music S6010 with CM11.0, they all have the same issue of not playing the video at all, and crashing if they're not closed on time...
I guess there are no other alternatives other than to flash back to 4.1.2 ????
4.1.2 is barely usable because of all the bloatware it has, or i don't know what is it that makes it so... laggy.

which is the best rom with jio support and everything else working

I want to install any version of android for a smooth and stable experience but not any aosp rom as in all the aosp roms (any android version) there is a major bug in my phone ie the sd card doesnt gets detected.

I've never seen any AOSP ROM for a7000 that has problem in detecting SD card. SD card works in androium 7, dareaosp, swift AOSP, pixel ui, AOSP N.
However, if you want a ROM with smooth experience, and working Jio, I will recommend my "Swift AOSP" first, and "PAC ROM" by @aswinp222 the next.

I guess it's because of this error:-
Running boot script

Which is present above everytime I flash something and while flashing some roms when I wipe all the 4 things, "unable to mount" this error comes as last line.

You're a unique chap.
Swift aosp has no support now. I won't tell you how to fix it, but answer can be found in the thread itself. Don't take me as rude, it's just that i only support ghost aosp rom, instead of swift.
Your answer might even be in installation instructions

cyanogen 13 build old version rom. Its probably the best rom and the most stable rom for lenovo a7000 ever. I still have it in my drive and i use it too. It has 0 bugs and works like charm

AOSP EXTENDED ROM is best ever all most all bug fixed in it and smooth UI experience and best battery back up and I am currently using it and there is no problem facing with SD card, it is working like a charm

Please attach a screenshot of youtube working and your current rom build in settings/about phone.
It is impossible for youtube to work for you. And btw rohan and me are in the same team so we all know what is broken and what isn’t. The youtube bug will remain there because it uses hardware acceleration (hw decoder). The <application> tag in youtube’s android manifest has a “hardwareAccelearation=”true””.
Which means that youtube never uses anything other than the hw decoder. I tried setting that value to false but I got fc then. :crying:
I think this is a serious discussion. It is time to tag @Rohan Taneja

What is your YouTube version? Did you edit anything to make it work? Has it been working from starting? How did you do it?
You could potentially help fix the only daily usage bug left in aex.

I think I flashed the official build v4.1 using dirty flash on unofficial build, so i think that's the reason for YouTube to be working

[ROM] [7.1.2] [18-MAY-2017] [aio_row] LineageOS 14.1 [MONTHLY] works good with jio ..
use youtube go app..it works fine

Android P 9.0 for s6e+ BETA

To go into deeper detail on the ROM, I used Lineage 16.0 20180901 s6 build modified for the s6 found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...20x-5x-nexusos-9-0-samsung-galaxy-s6-t3843199
It was also based on NexusOS kernel that has been modified, so a big shout out to Team Nexus for the kernel and rom, and to @lukasb06 for porting it to s6.
The original kernel was by Team Nexus for s6 and s6e
Kernel Features;
v2.0: first support Pie on s6e+ and n5
change log:
support N5-s6e+ (ready for daily usage)
bug: BT, GPS, NFC
deep sleep fixed, init.d support, dyninteractive and a lot of kernel code changed.
the kernel can be found at :
https://github.com/slaminger/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7420
**I have made some modifications, added a shim, added code to the init.rc to disable p2p wifi. Moving forward the modifications to the kernel will be done by myself.
Please read and follow the instructions :
New zip uploaded for November. Each month has its own folder
This is not fully functional yet but it is close, no Bluetooth, no NFC. the two buttons next to home don't work yet(a couple of temporary solutions below)
BACK UP YOUR CURRENT ROM! especially efs. Some people have ril issues, I noticed my imei changed. A quick efs restore fixed it and my sim worked again.
The home button can be set to double tap for recent apps and use opera browser for compensation of no back button as they have their own, or download back button from play store to add floating buttons to screen. Some versions have buttons pre installed.
I can get bluetooth not to crash, but it doesn't connect.
Wifi Hotspot not working.
Now that the bad is out of the way.
Install Instructions Below:
The call audio and WiFi works, camera works(lower res for video to 1080), magisk is working but apk requires manual apk install, audio works, headphones, video, gapps, everything I have tried besides the above is OK.
The install is a process, first flash the ROM, then the pie fix, then no NFC, and then flash the boot.
Img and start the ROM. set your WiFi and take a look around, give it a moment to run). After first boot, reboot to twrp and flash gapps. If you do it all at once gapps crash sometimes. Once you have this all set up and good to go then add magisk.
9.0SeptSecurity is a different version from the august security not just in the sense that the security patch is different, but also the august build is N920 where the September build is G920F. One is from a note one from s6. It is possible one might resolve a bug that is in the other for your device, i am honestly not sure. different people report different bugs on the same device. If bluetooth does happen to be in one of the zips it will likely crash a lot. remove it via twrp by mounting system and then going to system/app and delete the bluetooth and bluetoothmidi folders.
The reason for lowering rear camera to 1080p for video is that it gets buggy at the 4k default.
A big thank you to NexusOS and LineageOS for their 9.0 lineage 16.0 s6 ROM which I used as a base to port this to our device!
i would also like to thank @topjohnwu for Magisk.
And @MirzaAwais for the Pie fix zip

It's a bit slow for the first little bit while setting up and whatnot, but once you get everything running it works fine. You can use kernel auditor if you find your battery is dying a little too fast.
I am VERY open to suggestions and or help with this, as it is my goal to fix the bugs and have a fully working 9.0 for our device. The buttons are a priority for me.
To briefly summarize: you sacrifice the back button, pages button, and Bluetooth and get 9.0. Everything else works. I've got viper4android going via magisk, the audio fx work. The ROM has a LOUD volume. So if you like music, enjoy. The back button/page has a work around(most apps have a back button), and you can get an app from play store called back button which gives you the home, back and recent button as tiny floating screen icons also, in the meantime. so just bluetooth really. Use modified cam perm boot shim.img
Enjoy

I removed Bluetooth from the ROM intentionally because it crashed constantly and was hard to disable for people unfamiliar with twrp. No NFC.
The camera has been modified to address pipeline errors that caused it to not work in other builds, it is now fully functional up to 1080p video.
The advanced menu seems to be working fine.
Magisk successfully installed with the following modules tested: Viper4Android, Sony Framework, Sony Music, Audio Modification Library, Sys Config Patcher.
SUBSTRATUM DOES NOT WORK ON ANDROID PIE. This is because google does not want us using OMS for custom themes. they disabled it on purpose. i do not believe systemless substratum will be possible moving forward on any device running pie. atleast not at the time being.
**** Solved** see next post** Netflix not currently working, I googled and found many users on pie are having issues.
Superuser works also, but magisk has modules.
More details will be coming.

All gapps 9.0 working on sm-g928
W8, I used the full aroma package and installed everything. However pixel launcher with assistant in the search bar will not work if you install the new Google webview. The built in Google now launcher will work, and I have tried Nova launcher prime. Keep in mind the more gapps you install the slower your device can get. it is best to only install what you need. i installed everything just to see what worked. but i noticed my phone was slower after a while.
The camera is only confirmed working on g928w8 Canadian, g928g, g928f international/american, note 5 N 920variants. Others have reported bugs.
Netflix Netflix-6.13.0_build_29940.apk confirmed working, both cast and watching videos.

Congrats! Will this rom work on Note 5 N920C too ?

Suggestion: if you un-compress the rom(s) and do a search for *camera or camera* does it return any results. I suggest you compare it to a working version and determine what is missing in the system/ system/app and system/priv-app folder(s) once you determine what is missing then just bring those changes over to your folders

Let me try n rebuild it real quick for your device, its the same phone mine is just zenltecan not zenlte

Its uploading now, I used the same zip from my phone and changed the updater script to zenlte

OK its done, I named it v2, same link as first post

@godkingofcanada Hi, I've got same problem with this rom as I had with Oreo rom before. My WiFi MAC Address is 02:00:00:00:00:00 and it doesn't turn on. Have I to do something more than installing rom and all fixes with it ? I can provide logcat if it would do. Also after clean installation there was no bootanimation and no wallpaper. Just black screen and that's all. Hope to see quick reply. Cheers

What variant of s6e+ do you have? And sure let me peek at the logcat, I have never had it boot to black screen, normally the boot only fails if you did not flash the boot.img. the pie kl500.zip fixes the Wi-Fi, the other zip disables NFC, did you flash both ?

Give me a moment to look, you have the international variant but I don't think there's any hardware differences. I need to verify

Also, the phone is identifying itself as SM-N920X is settings, same this was happening with Oreo ROMs. I'll keep this page refreshed once in a while, I hope that you will find something. I've updated bootloader, but I'm not sure if it changes something. Thanks for fast replies

[ROM][7.1.2][N8000/N801x/N8020][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 Nougat [EOL]

THERE WILL BE NO MORE UPDATES HERE!
This thread hasn't been updated in a while as I'm working on mainline support and a kernel 5.10 release for the Note 10.1. There are excellent releases of Android 9+ from @html6405 now and I don't intend on updating this thread. I'll leave everything as is, but don't expect me to view this thread on a regular basis. Most questions are already answered, use the search.
For the new mainline kernel version, please don't ask for any ETAs, there's still some things to be fixed before there will be an official release and I have a normal life to take care off.
If you have experience with kernel / ROM development and want to help me out? Leave me a message, I'd appreciate any helping hand no matter how much you can contribute, every little bit helps. Even looking at the device tree and giving me hints would be great as I would still consider myself being intermediate at best at putting everything together, it's just a lot to dig into with the little time I have.

Hi, I'm currently trying to get this device officially supported again as I really love it and it never let me down in the last 5 or so years. It still works amazingly fast and I have no need to replace it with anything else.
As I'm a Java engineer for my day job there is a lot of new stuff here, I had some contact with C/C++ when I studied CS a couple of years ago but never actually wrote anything bigger than two or three files in these languages. This is quite an adventure and I learned a lot already but I'm open for any help you can offer. After all, I'm doing this for fun and getting better at whatever hits me in the face while doing it.

FAQ
Q: Why another thread?!?
A: The ROM provided by @lirokoa is great but it is based on sources that deviated quite a lot from the official LOS repo, I try to close this gap and get the ROM aligned to the remaining devices based on the SMDK4412 core so that everbody profits from the development going on there. This ultimately means that we can get a 8.x alpha version "soon" after fixing the remaining issues.
Q: How can I help to improve the ROM?
A: If you are a developer, I'd be happy to discuss the remaining issues with you and how to approach/solve them. I'm open for pull requests on Github. If you are testing the ROM and can provide log files for issues this is also a great thing, even more so if it is one of the devices I do not own.
Q: What's up with the performance?
A: Disable Live Display, it's actually not supported by the GPU (or at least by the current driver)
Q: The camera is crashing!
A: Use Open Camera
Q: Wifi attempts to connect but never succeeds!
A: Try reflashing again, including wiping. This usually fixes it.

Wow!
thank your development for this old Pad.
will try it in a free time.
: )

Downloading. Will post some feedbacks later. Thanks for continuing the development on this old brick. ?

i couldn't get secretwolf98 version to install on my n8013 so i am keen to see if this one will install for me when the n801x version is ready

There is a new build with basic camera support, the back camera has some issues with recording videos which will crash your camera app. I noticed that activating the torch while having the camera app open in the background/foreground will also crash the camera app, so still some issues there.
The work on the camera will go on after the big party, I wish everyone a good start into 2019

I still use 2 of these and thank you for getting back into it. Using lineage 14.1 now. Will keep watching.

Great. I've just incidentally gone back to this forum after a long time to check if there's any newer ROM than lirokoa's for my N8000
I'll check it out. Thanks a lot

Got it all installed - but can't get over an error code 190 ("can't download app")when trying to install chrome. Unsure if this is rom related or gapps related.
Also flashed the 14.1 su package - works well with the rom as expected. Youtube from the play store does not work - plays audio but no video. Other than that as I play with this I'll see if I can find any other bugs. Really appreciative of you picking this up!

Thank you very much for continuing the development of this tablet!
My N8000 is presently running on lirakoa's latest build lineage-14.1-20170810-UNOFFICIAL-n8000 with open gapps micro and as root solution Magisk 18.0.
Recovery is TWRP 3.02.
Everything is working fine except the well known bugs, and it seems that most of these have been fixed in your latest build.
I've never tried video recording with this tablet but had some camera crashes recently when using the ClearScanner app, in fact it's not usable with this app.
Otherwise I think it's usable as daily driver, and it was.
My daughter used it for university until recently.
So, as far as I understand, your build should be on the same level and I'm gonna try it very soon.
Do you think a dirty flash could work?

Not quite yet, lirokoa put some effort in the ROM and there are probably things that I don't know about yet which are broken. See my last quote above for example. I'm still learning the inner working of the linux kernel and Android which is quite a huge task.

It could work but there is no guarantee as always. There are some changes here and there which can potentially break it.

The 190 issue was fixed with a reflash and and formatting my system. Took 3 times - not sure but I think it was on my end. The youtube however is still at issue. I was able to view in browser w/o issue though. It is just the app. Side loaded a bunch of older APKs of youtube with same result.

I can confirm your observations. Chrome is running smooth but the youtube app is only giving me audio with a black video stream.

It is really good ROM for N8000! But it seems not all video codecs are switched on in assembly. Except YouTube any IPTV application does not work, there is no video in Instagram (the still image of the first frame only) and in browsers many videos cannot be reproduced too.
Samsung SmartThins and Samsung Galaxy Apps application and is not started too. Sadly, as I remember, only from Galaxy Apps can be install the S-Pen application. By the way, somebody knows where to take .apk for Samsung Galaxy Apps? And how to work with the stylus?

Thank you very much for this ROM I'm new here on XDA, however I have recently flash this ROM to my n8013 it's running pretty good, but I have 2 issues so far.
First, I'm having some troubles accessing to my wifi network, I have a Spectrum router which have 2g and 5g but it keep saying that the password may be incorrect, I have try many apps so far changing settings on my router but no success; but when I go with my phone on Hotspot I can get access and establish connection.
I'm also trying to get root access, I already flash the path for LineageOS 14.1 but when I go to developers I can't get access to the manage option. And when I run the root checker app I shows that I don't have root access.
Thanks,

UPD.
Found Samsung Galaxy Apps. It's no S-Pen application too. There is a Google hand-written input. It is possible to cost them also and not to found S-Pen any more.
So, will be great if there is a video's full support and will earn Samsung SmartThins and if earns the IR-port for control of household appliances (now does not work on N8000). After everything it will be a masterpiece!

many thanks for the new build :good:

There is an issue with decoding the video stream but I'm not quite sure what's the root cause yet. Still investigating.
