[Q] dual boot I9305

Hi all,
I've heard of the SiyahKernel for the I9300 which has dual boot functionality.
Does anybody know if this works on the I9305? Or is there a dual boot kernel available which is made for the I9305 in special?
Reason why I want to have dual boot:
I'm a huge Ubuntu fan. And what I've understood from what I've read is that it's CM(10?) based. So I'd like to use that as second rom. (I know, there isn't a version for the I9305 available right now, but I'll give it a try to port it from I9300 to the I9305.)
Thanks in advance.

As far as I was aware there is no dual boot yet for our device

If their is then its in Development .

Does it take much time to make a kernel which supports dual boot ?
Does anybody know how to port a kernel from I9300 to the I9305 ? Is it hard work to do that ?
And why does the 1GB extra and LTE support make such a difference for ROMS on the device ?
Thanks in advance.

Its not so much the difference as developers actually wanting to work on the phone . Nobody pays them its their choice what to develop . jje

1. Thats not REALLY hard, however you have to know what to do. Looking and comparing sources is good point to start. Take a look at gokhan or googy commits about dual boot for example.. Personally, I havent been interested in it, but I might look into it, why not
2. Apart from these, we have other radio, and that causes so much trouble with ROM differences..

It's cool that we have radio, but.... why do we need it ? seriously... we all have a mobile network subscription these days
Couldn't we just drop that in the beta/alpha versions, and add it in later then ? ;s

I mean, another radio, like baseband, ril etc. I wasn't talking about normal FM radio (we haven't even got one in i9305).
However, taking only these proper files (like ril + modem) from our ROMs and take them to i9300 ROMs might work, I tried some time ago doing same thing with temasek's cm10.1 and it worked.. Unfortunately I wasn't able to compile fully stable and well working kernel (based on temasek's sources) therefore I do not use it now ;p

Fix camera on Nougat?

Fix camera?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-porting-64bit-mtk-roms-mt6735-t3563807

I think that wont work, because our kernel or rom base is on 32bits o something like that, but i'm not sure, @vampirefo can confirm this if he want to

I believe these files listed are already ported into the build.
I had my doubts that this would make any change for our device, but i put the files into a patch install and tried it.
still No camera ..! sorry .
unless the files also needed to have permissions applied.

Not directly, would need to be "ported" and tweaked. That post says its for same processor and is tagged as "Coolpad 3"
Be careful testing with it. It comes from a general thread not any device specific thread so who know what to really is.

Do not know. It would have to be tested.
If there was a way to know what camera module the r1-hd has and then compare it to the one for cool-pad 3 lite has.
Other than being able to do that it is left to trial and error.

Is already there and is not working I think is something with the boot img I mean the kernel part

Id really like to see the camera working. I dont mind my R1s camera not working really because i dont use it, But if it were working the Rom would receive unofficial build status instead of the "beta" and "discontinued" its been getting.
I have Nougat on my R1 solely thanks to Mrmazak

Well, unless you switch phones or Blu releases an update camera won't be fixed.
To be honest camera isn't very good in any built rom for Blu devices, I have several roms I built for Blu Life Max, camera works but it isn't very good, pink haze on back camera, front camera is ok, still not as good as stock rom, or ported stock rom from another device.

64bit won't work on 32bit, nor will 32bit work on 64bit, no way around that.
A 32bit kernel can only use 32bit binaries, 64bit kernel can only use 64bit binaries.

Yeah you got a point. The camera was never very good on Cyanogen or Lineage. Or even for that matter on the BLU rom itself... When i need the camera i just use my other S6 Active.

The compat layer (see CONFIG_COMPAT) in the kernel allows for 32 or 64-bit userland with 64-bit kernel and is supported by Android. The tinno 64-bit config has this enabled.

that means nothing, no matter.
good luck compiling a 64bit kernel out of 32bit source.
perhaps R1HD Plus, kernel source might be of some use to you all, the phone is advertised as 64bit, I think it's really going to be 32bit, but won't know til someone gets one.

You didn't know you could run 32-bit binaries in a 64-bit kernel, and now you're saying you can't compile 64-bit kernels out of 32-bit source, whatever you think you mean by that. The point of me mentioning the tinno config is there is a 32-bit config and 64-bit config for the same soc and surprise, it uses the same source. There is minor difference in the config choosing arch/arm and arch/arm64, but it still compiles and the source is there to do it.

I can't help you learn the difference, you will get there on your own.
A 64bit kernel can't run 32bit binaries, nor can a 32bit kernel run 64bit binaries.
You are confusing Linux kernel with Android kernel.
Android kernel 64bit uses a 64bit toolchain Android kernel 32bit uses a 32 bit toolchain neither kernel could possibly run any binaries compiled with the other toolchain.
But, instead of me trying to teach you the difference, go ahead and fix the camera with the 64bit binaries, no better teacher than hands on, get your hands dirty.

What's written there is 100% correct, that's why camera will never ever work, unless Blu releases an update.
That's the main reason I got rid of the phone, other phones don't have the same limitations that R1HD has.
My Life Max doesn't have the problem, hopefully the new R1HD plus doesn't either.

I hope to the new r1 hd it doesn't have this kind of problems is having a different processor anyway I read something like the new r1 hd plus has a 64 bit processor

I think that was just another lie Blu told, I am betting it's 32 bit.
If 32 bit and camera doesn't use junk libaries like R1HD, the phone can run many custom roms.
Most likely run same roms my Life Max can.
Should know soon enough a lot of people ordered the phone.
Whether is 64 bit or 32 bit.

When I will get to us I will order straight that phone who knows probably is having a 64 I didn't seen one in real life so I don't know yet just let's hope is a 64

Treble Note 9

Just a quick question. I can't seem to get GSI's to boot on my note 9. Had no problems running any pie based GSI on my s9 plus. Is there a specific vendor I need to use on the note 9 for treble?
Any help would be appreciated

Yeah that's what I've got same as on the s9. Trying to run pixel experience p but I get stuck at Sammy bootloop. Wasn't sure if it could be a vendor issue but as far as I remember vendor didn't matter on the s9.

Does anyone know which treble roms are stable?
Wish RRemix worked but it has a strange low brightness bug.

I tried Lineage, RRemix and OmniRom. all were working fine but all had the same brightness bug, stock camera also flickers & green screens when taking video, I dont remember on which rom.
I also tried pixel experience, the brightness was stuck on high, better than nothing, so if you want to use it you can give it a shot.
From @Dil3mm4 on his GSI rom built
The problems you will face with Descendant are the same that you may face on any other ROM based over Phh work.
So, don't blame me, blame your OEM about their poor Treble implementation

From @phhusson comment on note 9 brightness bug issue
Thanks for the report. Nice to have AOSP directly working on that
Brightness should be fixed in next release. I might forget to integrate it, please complain if i do.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you are not a noob like me, you might find the files to flash on his github, since it looks like fixed, just waiting on his next rom release for these roms..
Reporting Bugs to @phhusson will help, probably least we can do, he mentioned creating Issue here
I will also do myself after testing more.
thing is the more people use it and report bugs, I believe it'll be a smoother experience for people who flash GSI roms later on the note9, and a great thanks to @phhusson, redoing samsungs lousy work. he deserves a huge thanks from the community.

Actually today I tried one more ROM, it from the same dev phhusson, here is the link
not only it is Android 9, it is stable enough to be used as a daily driver, I moved to it, Didnt want to post until I was sure.
So everything works, wifi, BT, hotspot, Sim, SD, Brightness Control, Mic, The Spen works as a mouse, HDMI, Fingerprints ..etc
what I found is buggy:
- the camera app(green flicker): you can use a third party camera app
- when you open the camera in Messaging to attach something.
One drawback to consider is Android P doesnt support Xposed yet. back to waiting for xposed support! =(
in fact I might keep using this, until Lineage OS 15.1 GSI gets fixed.

I have not. I've tried all the roms you've tried with the same results. I don't really have much time to tinker with roms now a days due to work but maybe some time next week I'll start a bounty to spark things up. The hardware on the Note 9 is just begging to be tampered with lol and it being the first Note with Treble Support really is "The Next Big Thing" :victory:

Is secure buying a Mi A2 today?

Hi!
I recently bought an Mi A2, even though I knew of his problem history. I just wanna know if it's still dangerous to buy and update the Mi A2, because that's what I did and now I'm a little afraid of losing it. (Because of the problems you already know)
And also, if it is not safe to update, I was advised to use the MiUI ROM in it. About this advise, what do you guys think?
Sorry for the Google Translator's English and thanks in advance.

If you are prepared to do flashing, I recommend havoc instead of converting to MIUI. Latest version has minimal bugs (Netflix not working if you don't flash permissive zip). Problem with slow memory is also fixed in this rom, dt2w works, no screen bleeding issues, quick charge works.

I have been using the 6GB and 4GB variant the day it was launched because our parent company is LOOP telecom china and staff brings phones with them from china and till now i have no problem except software update bugs , the phone is designed very diligently .
Although there isnt much development for A2 as compare to A1 yet A2 is the best designed smartphone after moto z slim.
I love slim phones and loving A2.

[Closed] BeastMode Kernel update UE5 RELEASED

hi all
for those impatient and dare to try, plus able to handle problems ON YOUR OWN as i cannot offer any help at this point:
anyone interested to test an updated version of BeastMode Kernel R154 by @freeza with the latest samsung firmware N960FXXU8FUD1?
please be noted that:
- this might be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS or could BRICK YOUR PHONE in a few seconds, and I am not responsible for bricked devices or any damages which may arise. so, you have been WARNED
- I have NOT TESTED on my n960f yet (just updated to TH4 from pie but not rooted yet for some reasons). SO THINK TWICE!!
- chances the phone may not boot up properly (boot loop or hang) due to the toolchains used to compile the kernel. I have encoutered this before with only one of the four or five gcc i had which booted up the phone successfully
ideal situation to minimize uncertainties:
- already on ud1
- data/cache partition is ext4 formatted (ideally NOT f2fs as supported by bm kernel)
- capable of diagnostic/identify the problems by examining the logcat/last_kmsg and the like would defintely a plus
to be continued...

update 20160616
updated to samsung ue5 sources
i have built 2 different versions, one with gcc 4.9 and the other with gcc 12. there will be only one version in the future (either gcc4 or 12). the reason i built 2 versions this time is in case one of the gcc used doesnt boot probably there's another one to try
differences between @freeza 's R154:
- kernel sources updated (N960F) without any fix or new feature
- not pre-rooted/pre-patched by magisk since the magisk version may differs from what u r using
- NOTE: other devices preiously supported are not recommeded yet, although you may try, i cant make any promise it will work since i didnt look at other devices sources
thinking if i should release it for testing now or wait until i have time to test it myself coz i don want to brick anyone's phone, including mine of coz
