Got a question to everyone, who changed their touchscreen...

After changing my touchscreen, when i flash any Adrian's builds or Helium kernel 6.1 my phone can't access recovery and touchscreen doesn't work. But when i use any Adrian's builds with Helium Kernel lower than 6.0 - everything works fine.
P.s. stock CM 12.1 Nightlies with CM kernel also work without issues
Using Adrian's AICP and Helium 5.0 - everything works good.
Any ideas?

The safest answer would be the kernel apparently doesn't support the newer touchscreen you installed. I suspect driver issues but I may be wrong

Starting from Helium 6 I cleaned up the config file of the kernel to match Adrian's. This removed a lot of unnecessary drivers but it might have removed some options that made your touchscreen work properly. Previously I used a very old config file. I'll compare the two configs and try to build another kernel that supports your touchscreen.

Same issue here, in TWRP i cannot use my touchscreen. (I changed 2 digitizer, last one give this problem)
F*** ! Digitizer not working on cm12.1 :'(

i wonder what the heck is going on with my screen.
I was on 4.1.2 , waiting STRYFLEX 2.0.
I changed my digitizer 3 days ago. No problems in 3 days.
But this morning, the screen go a little crazy (touched 3-4 times itself randomly ), but i did not care so much.
After that, i reboot to recovery /to install and try Sailfish OS.
But after Fastboot flash TWRP 3.0.2 /// BAMM BOOM %#$!!
The screen is not working anymore. I will try to reflash the stock with Flashtool.
and thanks for the reply

I tried 4.3 but again, no response from digitizer.
Will flash 4.1.2 and make sure that the screen is completely gone

Full Note7 Port for N910F by standm (Aurora Base)

Herewith find an updated version of my previous rom based on the orignal Aurora 3.1 Note 7 Port.
As previously mentioned, all credit to the developers of the ROM, including all fixes. I am only supplying you with the full package including many fixes for the N910F.
It should be noted that I have made many changes for this ROM to run smoothly on the N910F. It should be fine on other Snapdragon versions. (I cannot test this as I don't have any of the other models). If you do try it and the ROM works on your version, please post this so that others can try it out.
The ROM is based on DPH1.
Kernel is included within the ROM.
You will need TWRP or CWM to flash the rom.
No your phone does NOT need to be rooted to flash the ROM, but after installation your phone will be rooted automatically.
NOT WORKING:
Fingerprint (Hardware not compatible)
AOD still slightly buggy.
Earlier build (V3) included: (ported from N910G)
No SIM card error fixed
No data error fixed
Bluetooth fixed
Tethering fixed
Sound Mod
Latest build (V10) include:
AOD modded. (Display still darkens in bright light when AOD is active)
Added Essential Apps
Added Missing Calculator from original ROM
Fixed S Cover issue (I can't test, let me know if it works)
Stability issues fixed
Neatened up homescreen for clean flash.
Download Link: https://mega.nz/#!p8JXhDZT!VBf7BV3Tjw20SanE_B8dtG10XXfA7yPnAFlB1f6ywYw
As always a clean flash is recommended but a dirty flash should be fine if your'e running an existing Aurora ROM.
NOTE - Due to many changes, installation can take up to 20 minutes - 30 minutes (Samsung Logo), especially on a dirty flash. This is normal.
The handset will also restart once during installation.
Let me know if it works for you and don't forget to press the thanks button.
_______________________________________________________
REV11
Please find updated revision 11 below.
Apologies for not being able to update sooner. Been away on business and will still be away for a few more weeks.
AOD still buggy and fingerprint not working.
A few small updates have been included and kernel updates to rev3.
I tried to include the AOD fix but have unfortunately not had time time to implement.
A few items have been fixed and updated.
If you still find Note 4 Camera, delete folder SamsungCamera3 under system priv-app folder and restart.
Changelog:
Camera Updated to Note 7 Camera
Supersu Updated
Several (most) apps updated to latest version
Kernel Updated
Removed Chinese writing on weather app.
Several stability issues fixed.
Cheers

Flashing now
Flashing on preceding version I'll report back asap.
ps. a workaround working for aod dimming screen in direct sunlight is to install xposed and sensor disabler to fake light sensor to always read a minimum brightness level. so the phone thiks you're in very dark enviroment , that's avoid screeen dimmin also when you're in direct sunlight. tested on previous xrom port
Thanks again for your efforts!!!

How is battery life

Battery life is always difficult to discuss as there are so many things one has to take into account. I myself use my phone extensively, and even then I get around 9 hours out of it. BUT that does not mean you will get the same. SOT (Screen on time) affects it obviously. I myself switch off WiFi, NFC and Bluetooth when I'm not using it. Your battery condition and age will also affect it as many don't want to believe.

Hi dev are u have solved my problem... im using aurora and norma rom for my Galaxy S5 prime.. for Norma everything work is so well... but if i to trying install aurrora rom or base rom.. i always dont have data conection and phone unfortunately forced stop information pop up.. flashing all data fix variant cant help... sorry for my bad english.. i really need to flash this rom hope you have a solution sorry for my bad english.. thx

Flashed clean, some impressions:
Spen magnifier function, open but is not working(no zoom inside zoom box)
AOD still buggy, still lowering screen brightness when unlocking the screen
wallpaper choice works only via gallery not via theme store (if you choice gallery it return back to theme store first page)
more to come...
Anyway, 910f best version, one zip file, one flash and you have all ready to go (apart some minor issues stated above)
Many thanks to the op that is sharing with us this nice piece of rom!

Latest build v10? I thought Aurora just released v4 and v10 is Norma. Is this port based on Aurora or Norma, or shifted from Aurora v3 to Norma v10? Confused.

It's ALL INCLUDED. One of the reasons that it is special. Animations very good, no lugs at all in my case. I don't remap controls so I can't say. Overall a great experience even before other distributions of Aurora V3.1.

Great time and thanks for the hard work!!!!
One thing annoying with room is if you work with it all is fine, hover there are slow screen openings when returning from sleep mode. So if the screen is off and you open it , sometimes apps UI is stock for 2-5 seconds and the gets released.any app, phone, WhatsApp or camera.
Hope that can be fixed. I'm with f2fs file system.

Hi, i'm using this ROM since it was launched on 4PDA, but it has some random lags. I read that it happens because the kernel, that with Nosgoth v2 Treble it is fixed and all is smooth. Do you have the link for that kernel? I tried to download from that forum, but the link is down (like almost everything there).
Thanks for sharing!

Can somebody here know how to root? I tried to install Magisk and it goes into bootloop.

I already found it. But when I try to install this Kernel, TWRP 3.2.1-0 Treble tells me that the zip format is invalid. Is it because the version of TWRP? It is the only one I could find for Treble ROMs. Anyone knows what can I do?

Hi, i'm noob with this. The format data (f2fs / ext4) can improve the performance on a ROM? I'm actually on this ROM on 06.03.18 version, i'm going to update to the new 06.06.18, do I need to change my format data to a specific one for a better performance? Do you have any kernel with this ROM to improve this? Thanks!

Best rom so far expet for one thing: why is it extremely slow? I have to change the kernel? Thanks a lot

Lineage 15.1 update for Moto Z2 Force

Yes. Also: erfan has almost completely got treble working for our device. Twrp had an overhaul as well

@Uzephi do you have downloads for twrp?

this is great news i was playing with the vendor partition on these phone and was not able to get the gsi to load until i started modding the version of twrp i was running with red wolf recovery additions. it booted but was not usable as the device did not like something in my work around and gave up on it i was just going to wait for the Z3 but now i think this phone will stay in my pocket even longer.

Check erfanoabdi's AFH. All his experimental releases are there. There is a treble one (a bunch of stuff broken, on back burner for now) and one that supports password decryption. Cannot flash current builds with it though.
Edit: warning. Experimental means no support and most likely things are broken, like flashing ROMs explained for the test twrp. It does decrypt 8.1 ROMs correctly though

Looks like an experimental build has been posted.

I've been using LOS for quite a bit now, and it's great, and to answer your question, YES, it is better than stock, battery life is better, smooth and responsive, the only drawback for some people, is that audio motomods don't work on the ROM and probably never will, but highly recommended if you want a clean android experience.

I would not be so pessimistic on that. There's a small but possible chance, once they force the Treble on, that someone else may be able to figure out the Audio Motomods.

Flashed Nightly 15.1 following steps in their official website and ended up with a brick....But I found a blankflash through port 9008 to recover.
It`s possible that I missed the fastboot -w step.

Unless motorola releases the audio drivers for their motomods, I find it kinda impossible, because it seems that those drivers are closed source, treble will help with future development but I really doubt we'll see audio mods working.

I was using the last nightly until yesterday when I found out that the microphone on video calls was not working, so I had to come back to stock.

Is this the newest update?? i'm still on June 18th. i usually get notified on my phone but for some reason not getting any and when i check for updates it fails????

Me too, but I got it working following other AOSP installs.
Flashall
Bootloader and then Fastboot into TWRP
Wipe Cache, Data, System
Install to A
Install to B
Reboot to Bootloader, run the fastboot -w
(optional) Fastboot into TWRP, Install GAPPs
(optional Magisk)
Boot into the system, do not add your accounts or anything.
Skip past everything, only selecting the reporting and bug logs you want on.
Boot back into the Bootloader, and fastboot TWRP
Install Magisk, and preferably go to Magisk Manager and Magiskhide Google Play Store and Google Framework Services before adding accounts.

[9.0|PIE][SEMI-GSI]Pixel Experience 9.0 V3 [NOTE9/S9/S9+]

Pixel Experience ROM for the Galaxy S9+ and the Galaxy S9​
What is this?
Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential features for the proper functioning of the device
Based on Android 9.0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Semi-GSI? what's that?
a semi-gsi (at least by my own definition) is a gsi built from source, with heavy patches intended for a specific device that wouldn't make the gsi necessarily as universal as a gsi should be. so in terms: don't flash this on other devices.
How does this differ from any other gsis out there/what are the features?
Well this includes a number of fixes including:
Dual speakers are working.
Ui lag is no more (at least 99.99%).
Aod is working/enabled.
Auto brightness is kinda working.
MTP is working
Other performance fixes and improvments.
What's working/not working?
First up:
Obviously Samsung's own features such as Samsung Pay, KNOX, Theme Center, Game Launcher, etc. won't be ported to LineageOS Pixel Experience. We may have our own implementation to similar functions, though.
Iris sensor does not work because AOSP upstream does not support that yet.
IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS PixelExperience.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2ndly the semi-gsi has a few quirks of it's own. Nothing major or worth noting but you should check the "anything else i should know?" part in the FAQ. hence why HWC is broken
Instructions:
Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional.
Download the latest build image and kernel linked below
Reboot to recovery
Wipe system, data and cache from the wipe menu
Select flash image in twrp, lower right side on the install menu
Flash the rom image as system (and gapps). DONT flash gapps. they are already included in the rom.
Flash the kernel image corresponding to your model as boot
Reboot and enjoy :victory:

Troubleshooting/FAQ:
Q:Can i use any other kernels with this gsi?
A:Nah, not really. I built this kernel specifically to work with this gsi and it includes a few major fixes (for example mtp won't work,major ui lag, no dual speakers etc if you switch to another kernel. But again. If you want to use other kernels, they should* boot. Endurance kernel even has my dual speaker patch and i confirm as working. But again expect bugs.
Q: Is there anything else i should know?
A: Ehhhhhhh, not really. I mean there are some stuff i'm really not proud of,for example to "fix" the ui lag i had to set the minimum gpu frequency to 455; this shouldn't create any issues(perhaps some battery drainage when screen is on) but afaik it doesn't impact sleep or anything else.
Q: My mobile data (3G/4G) is not working
A: Go into network settings and select/create an apn
Q:Would this be preferred over a device specific rom?
A: Overall nah. The reason i didn't set on building device specific los16.....well actually i did and failed. But this is a pretty good placeholder until someone more skilled than me takes over and creates pie device trees.
Q: Safetynet doesn't pass?
A: Yeah, i guess that's a thing. Go into magisk and download some module called props hide or something. Don't forget to run it from terminal. It should work from there
Q: The rom isn't booting/camera doesn't work
A: Flash/make sure you have the BRI4 vendor, the linked kernel and try again.
Q: The rom is in a bootloop/google apps keep crashing
A: You did read the instructions and NOT flash any gapps riighhttt?? smh, wipe /system,/data and /cache and start over
Q: I have another bug; How can i tell it to you while slightly increasing my changes of it ever getting fixed.
A: You can tell me what's going on either here or on telegram WITH A LOGCAT attached(required);if rom isn't booting at all attach /proc/last_kmsg.
Q: I don't know what/how to logcat. Is it really necessary?
A: Logcat or gtfo
Q: How can i support you?
A: Awwww thanks; On most of my posts on the left side there's a "donate to me" paypal button; You can use that,donations are more than welcome, or if you don't have any $ to spare you can also post here about how awesome i am (this surprisingly helps very much)

If i want to go back to a backup from my "The Samsung Project" rom, is this easy possible with deleting the partitions in twrp and play on the backup?

Are you sure about that?
What vendor did you have installed?
Did you flash the kernel too?

Last vendor from Soldiers rom. I flashed your kernel for the S9 to my S9. I also made a test and flashed Magisk, no difference.

Which model nr are you?
The ideal way of doing it was to have the latest vendor installed (i have BRI4 rn) wipe /system, /cache and /data. Flash just the system img and the kernel img and it should boot just fine. Can you try this?

So far so good. Recording video on my s9+ screen flashes green, stereo speakers work on SoundCloud but not with play music, still testing. Thanks

Which option are you selecting when you chose to flash the system img and kernel img?

System_Image for the rom and Boot for the kernel.
I installed the latest Benzorom 9 and this works!
Than again your rom without your kernel, it goes than further, the Google boot animation doesnt disapeared, but cant boot into system.
So something must be wrong in the kernel for the 960F version.

Hmmmm. I'm not gonna lie, i haven't actually tested the g960 variant since i have the plus model but ok.
Has anyone with a small s9 booted the rom using the kernel?
EDIT: ok apparently the small variant is bootlooping, will delete the link and get back later

@Oel can you try this for the small s9 pls?

Downloading the rom, I will try the kernel and get back to you.

Flashed successfully on Exynos S9+. I can make calls but cannot receive calls. Any idea why?

Hi, do we have an option to disable the fingerprint unlock vibration? If no, can we have it please? Also, Thanks for this wonderful work of yours
