This is a no-frills thread.
Okay here it is.
cm_satsuki-Nega_Spork.zip
For dsds testing: cm_satsuki_dsds_test_boot.img Note: you will see the Sony Bootanimation instead of CM13, this is intentional. Also detection may take a minute or two. Provide clear reports.
For dsds model owners, flash rom clean, then in recovery reboot to bootloader and flash this test boot.img with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot cm_satsuki_dsds_test_boot.img
fastboot reboot
NegaSpork
Working:
Sim [single]
Storage
NFC
Audio record fixed
The rest is the same.
What doesn't work:
Since the camera is still not "fixed" we will just say it doesn't work, deal with it.
Next on my todo list is fmradio
DSDS support is still being worked out by the project members. [see test boot image above]
NOTE: OpenGapps may bug out quickpanel/pulldown menu. This may be related to version used.
I experienced this with pico and nano. [see note below]

Thanks @KbaB.BroS for testing :good:
Everything from before works, cell, mobile data, nfc, etc.
Internet speeds are good.
It feels snappier than before, so smooth
The pulldown bar works, I can interact with the toggles without any force closes. If somebody complains about their devices, let them know to use OpenGAPPS. I use the mini version

@zacharias.maladroit For answering questions, many questions. :silly: [ still have more... xD ]
Those of you without a sense of humor, go away.
Okay current features i'm working on and stuff that works/doesn't work
UVC support enabled in kernel. probably need to build rom-side support still. libuvc avutils etc.
- This is for plugging in camera devices in conjuction with apps like LegitDashcam.
USB Gadget functionality as per pelya's work ,
- pelya/android-keyboard-gadget Use in conjuction with the include USB Keyboard app to utilize your phone as a keyboard/mousepad.
I am working my kernel source here toward net-huntery goodness.
The rest you tell me, and you tell me properly. Messages like
"waahhh my whatchamhoozit is all floompy"
are not acceptable.
This is not a random discussion thread either. Idle chatter belongs in general.
This is also NOT a discussion thread for Xposed,Viper, etc..
Thank you.

Notes and Updates
NOTE
I have been running this build for two days now and so far , meh it's alright.
Audio [mic] and Camera issues are definitely annoying.
SELinux is COMPLETELY disabled on this build. If You want security go back to stock.
SELinux enforcing is the goal though.
I strongly recommend using a "traditional" root os SuperSU over systemless-root.
Reasons:
Opengapps requires a factory-reset or fresh install to set up correctly!
Privacy Guard based root sucks. It forgets alot of permissions granted.
Use BETA-SuperSU-v2.52 , I wil attach below as it seems hard to find by conventional means.
Would have posted earlier but needed a smoke break *>cough<* :silly:
Updates and Notes
Reserved
Attached UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip for another option ,
since that worked the best for me in the past.
Thanks for the input. I get error: 7 to install the .zip file
any solution?

Would be easier to keep the ROM as daily and test if it supported the dual sim version phones too
Apart from that, some of my observations during a small period of usage :
Pardon me if these are already mentioned.
Screen brightness doesn't reach full capacity
Speaker volume is low I think
For me, I felt the display had some slight glitches. Enabled GPU rendering in developer settings and felt it got better , can't guarantee on this though
Had to revert to stock based since sim functionality for me wasn't available ( I have a dual sim phone)
Ashray_Vk
Okay good deal, umm let me try compiling a seperate kernel package.
Yep brightness is currently HORRIBLE
I didn't notice any glitches display-wise, do you actually mean lag in some screen transitions?
I only tested with radioball and raging thunder.
The build i just tested out had full WOW, HOW THE HELL DO I TURN THIS DOWN BRIGHTNESS. :silly:
So either atm i get crappy brightness as max level which is like 75% of stock.
Or i get the nice stock brightness but the slider breaks/doesn't work.
The speaker volume is limited to where it actually should be. Use a mediaplayer that has an option for software decoding, that is a 100% [double] boost. It's not the idea to bomb out the speakers by default, each user can find their own tweak.
m
On the "daily build" thing, my upload time is horrible, so i will not be pushing out excessive/pointless builds. when i have something else fixed, then i will upload another build. Currently i'm boxing with the brightness issue and getting the mic working for audio recording.

By screen glitches, I meant that I saw a few glitches when I scrolled down menus ( like even settings app).
Might be just my sleepy eyes too, lol. And in the beginning, everything was feeling laggy, till I enabled those GPU options in the developer settings and turned the screen off and turned it back on.
Don't rely on this data though, I hope someone else verifies this thing before you take it up as an issue .

No problem I'm just looking for clarification, are you talking about lag or screen tearing?

There was lag in the beginning, no doubt. Lag was there since the boot animation itself.
Yes! Screen tearing is the term i was searching for. I felt like I saw minor issues of screen tearing along with the lag. ( especially when I scrolled down the settings )
I'm so sorry if I am not able to make things clear.
Nice. My question is does it work well with xposed? Other rom gives me random soft reboot randomly

K,
right now we are working on an Alpha build, self evident in thread title. Xposed being superfluous/unecessary is not being discussed in this thread. Of course later on in the release/beta level thread it will most likely be covered.
@KbaB.BroS
On the good side got brightness and auto brightness sorted.
@Ashray_Vk , give me a bit on the dsds kernel, from what I'm understanding SS an DS were supposed to have been combined, so I am running a fresh build after resync, which on my comp will take a day :silly: adn probably not as long as the actual upload

Normally, if I'd flash a stock based ROM which was meant for single sim, one sim would work in the dual sim models but the memory card would be not detected . sadly, that wasn't the case with cm though. Not even a single sim gets detected.

you tried enabling only single SIM mode in Sony's (or other) "Stock" ROM and then flashing this ROM ?
Then at least one SIM might work - unless of course the Z5 devices handle things entirely differently

Um, actually, was running rom aur and then had disabled one sim ( just because i didnt want to use that sim) and then had flashed this.
Unfortunately, not even a single sim worked in this.

I'm sort of wiping the slate clean in several areas of my life - and that (unfortunately) was part of it :angel:

The point of the topic:
Post your issues found in STOCK / CM11 or post a solution.Simple as that,very productive.
I'll start with a list of bugs:
CM11 ISSUES:
-Video recording lags in reduced luminosity.
-The phone heats too much when playing/watch videos for long time and so on.
-Volume during call is too low.
-Ocasionally freezes & crashes.
-Some graphical issues when the phone freezes.
-Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
STOCK ISSUES:
-Video blinks in low light(from what I've read it focuses wrong on the light source and starts blinking).
-The proximity sensor remains on after a missed call.
-Multi touch doesn't work as well as on CM11.
-Some weird freezes during call ( the screen remains off / freezes and you can't end the call / sometimes even answer )
-Camera doesn't have as much detail as in CM11 ( if you zoom in,the image doesn't clarify).
-Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
CM11 FIXES:
-Lag in video recording can be reduced by lowering the exposure.In medium to low light " - 1 " works pretty good and in very low to low light " - 2 " .However,when you use " - 2 " ,the recorded video will be very dark.Still haven't found a solution for this.
-About heating problem,you might want to try @Shivam Kuchhal 's kernel.He reported that his phone doesn't get heat up more than normal.
-About volume during call,it's been solved partially in newer releases by editing snd_soc_msm file.However,if the value is too high,the phne volume will also be too high and the speaker will produce distorsioned sound.However,I see they found a resonable value and both,the volume during call & speaker is about fine.
-For headset buttons not working,you must edit Generic.kl file.Here's a short tutorial to help you:
Go to: system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and change as below
key 226 HEADSETHOOK
key 256 BUTTON_1
change to
key 226 BUTTON_1
key 256 HEADSETHOOK
STOCK FIXES:
-For proximity sensor and weird freezes during a call use this tutorial .Haven't tested it personally,but people reported it works even on latest .17 fw.
-For Mac issue [ works for cm11 as well ]
1)Restore original MAC Address
Open /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0
Copy it's content. Ex: 01:12:13:14:15:16
Open /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Find this line
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=000AF58989FF
Replace 000AF58989FF with the content of wlan_macaddr0, but write back to front. Ex: from 01:12:13:14:15:16, write to 161514131201. So it will look like this
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=161514131201
Save & Exit, Reboot the phone
That's all for now,continue to post bugs&fixes and most important:

Proximity fix not working!!!
More Kitkat Bugs List:-
1. Headset buttons
2. Camera experiencing crashes randomly, sometimes cause overexposure and being unstable at flash mode
3. Black graphical glitch/scanning effect first time after you turn your screen off then on again after first restart/turning on phone.
4. Call bugs(e.g. distortion etc.)
5. Lag when using the video camera
6. battery draining faster then on stock rom. (was improved on early nightly releases....now its back again)
7. GPS not working again (for some it does...others it doesnt....again...wasnt there on first nightlies)(Mostly Happens In CM11)
8. Camera quality is much,much worse then on stock rom
9 . Phone may left hanging and screen wont turn on for several seconds...
10. Some apps are unsupported on playstore...
CM11 bugs
CM11:
1. Switch to HDR mode and within 3 snaps camera app will FC.
2. Headset buttons.. I have to manually edit that Generic.kl after every nightly update.
3. As mentioned above, graphical glitch after updates.
Some of bugs that u mentioned @David pro has been fixed by users, but device maintainer didn't merged it for some reason in official builds. So, get started:
1. These buttons can be fixed, someone(I don't remember who, Sorry) has created a modified Generic.kl. You can find that file somewhere on this forum.
2. Camera quality is medium, but videos are very poor..
3. Still exist
4. @up
5. As I said, videos are bad
6. Caused by Google Play Services, 1st method is use xposed Framework and one of its add-ons, 2nd is just disable Services from Settings>Apps(i'm using second one, because I just don't like Xposed)
7.GPS is working fine, at least for me. No fix needed
8.Yep, on stock it is better.
9.It's caused by "Black graphical glitch/scanning effect first time after you turn your screen off then on again after first restart/turning on phone."
10.Well, some of them are only for one platform or type of devices,eg. Tegra 4 games.
No heating issues noticed so far(I use my kernel obviously) and yeah the camera and video quality isn't anything worth praising. Also the hwcomposer issue happens only one time after every boot, after that its all fine.
I normally use AOSPA.
Actually,I think the cm11 camera takes better photos than stock,but it can be buggy sometimes :silly:
About GPS,it's working fine for me too.
About video camera being laggy...I think it's because our phone lacks drivers update.It's hard to believe the video camera will ever be 100% fixed.
I'm sorry I'm kinda busy those days and I don't have time to administrate this thread.I'll edit the main post as soon as I can with solution you guys posted.But it's true,there are things which can't be fixed.Until I come back, HELP EACHOTHER

Haven't experienced those kind of issues when I used stock.Try to do a factory reset or flash the ftf again.Maybe you added some mods or apps which affected the system.
Overall,we have to admit that CM11 is blazing fast and that's why I'm still using it.I'll update the OP now with your solutions.Thanks guys and keep helping eachother.

another BUG with the stock ROM
1)walkman app flickers in the widget lockscreen
2)poor memory management need to restart the phone daily else the phone lags like a hell
3)camera app didn't respond ,it doesn't even the focus sometimes ,clearing the app data solves this problem temporarily and i think it was not present with the .12 update ,so if anybody could extract the camera app from the .12 update similar to the phone app freeze issue the problem might be solved.
3)walkman app or any other music player makes music to stutter when the same song is played more than one time provided if the songs are stored in memory card also i know that my sdcard doesn't have any problem because it worked fine with galaxy s3.my sd card is sandisk ultra class 10 32 gb
4)battery drain heavy when wifi is switched on compared to previous android 4.1.2
note:i have not rooted my phone or modded my firmware .all i run is the apps taken from the playstore.i have done a factory reset for more than 4 times.
CM11 / Stock (using custom kernel) bug:
Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
Solution:
Restore original MAC Address

Copy it's content. Ex: 01:12:13:14:15:16
Open /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Find this line
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=000AF58989FF
Replace 000AF58989FF with the content of wlan_macaddr0, but write back to front. Ex: from 01:12:13:14:15:16, write to 161514131201. So it will look like this

guys please try to solve the issues with stock ROM because they are the stable ones and the bugs are easily repairable if the bugs are reached to right hands.so pls first concentrate on stock ROM
I've been playing around with 4.4 video recording..what i think is the lags occurs when we record in low lights related with the kernel..i'm testing with snapcam as its has auto flash when recording in low lights..First result is same as stock..but in snapcam it has touch to focus when recording..after touch,the recording will get a bit darker when it refocus and walla..no lags..
What i found is, the camera will automatically reduced the exposure to -1 for avoiding the lags even it is on default setting..
When moving the camera in low lights,the recording will lags again after few second..that is with continuous focus..set to normal or auto..no lags..so our stock cam using continuous focus for recording..
Back to the kernel thing..from what i see from the recording is same like this when i'm playing with cnt rom to to get wifi and overclock working.
Ok,so I went back to stock.I'm amazed by the battery life,it lasted 2 days and I used the phone a lot ( especially for calls ).
However,after using the fix for freezes during call and so on,I still have experienced this morning an issue.While I was talking to someone,someone else called and the phone was beeping but the screen was frozen.I had to press the power button to lock the device then unlock it to get the screen to show who's calling and to give me the possibility to answer the call.What do you think I should do?For now I'll wipe phone app data,but I'm also waiting if someone knows a good,another solution to post.
Anyone know a way to remove the automatic shutdown?
My phone shuts down if it reaches 25%
I just want to let you know I finally made the ROM jump from MaximusHD to CyanogenMod 12.1 and it went superb!
Before starting this I thought I would be busy the whole evening (or more than one) so I prepared for the worst. I still use this phone on a daily basis. I got another HTC oldy as a backup just in case. My HTC One S isn't recognized on my PCs anymore since jumping in the swimming pool with it last summer so I had an extra handicap not being able to upload from PC to device.
I updated TWRP to the latest. Cleared storage. Rebooted in MaximusHD again ignoring the setup wizard as much as possible. Once booted I opened the web browser and downloaded the CM12.1 05DEC Unofficial ROM and TK GApps mini directly to my device. (All links available in the specific thread here on XDA) Booted in recovery again and flashed CM12.1 and TK GApps. All my apps and settings were uploaded/installed when the device booted CM12.1.
After boot all I had to do is change my Mobile 3G APN setting.
After one hour of work I couldn't believe it went so quick! And easy! The experience of CM12.1 on this 3 year old phone is unbelievable. I thought I would experience more lag and slow responses but... none of that. I can't notice any difference in speed comparing with the MaximusHD ROM.
I hope this stimulates others to make the update.

I've been tempted by the idea of jumping the MaximusHD rom ship for a while too. Are you happy with the camera performance? One of the reasons I'm reluctant to go the non-Sense rom way is the lack of the full hardware access to the camera on those roms.
I just jumped the ship three days ago. I didn't use the camera besides taking 3 pictures for test purposes. I'm a long time Camera ZOOM FX user so the app installed itself again. I replaced the CM12 camera app in the drawer with it.
I need more user experience time with the camera to tell you it lacks in any way.
What, besides performance (speed) issues, will affect the camera not being able to have full hardware access?

A couple of things I remember were missing from non-Sense camera apps are the ability to shoot slow motion video (lower res but higher fps) and the HDR mode for photos.
Not that these two produced any usable results though .
I believe the other parameters like photo/video resolution are adjustable with the stock CM camera and ZOOM FX apps, right?

I can't find slow motion video. I never saw it in the MaximusHD ROM either. ZOOM FX cam does have the HDR option, just like with MaximusHD. But seriously, it's nothing more than a gimmick. Do you ever use it?

With stock CM camera I don't see these options. This cam app is really minimal. Some say you need to set resolution by entering the hamburger menu upper-left but I don't have the menu. App version is 2.0.002.
With ZOOM FX Premium all resolutions settings are there.
When booting my phone this morning I noticed that there is still one MaximusHD ROM leftover. I guess it's not really part of the ROM. It's the boot screen. The first screen you see when cold booting your phone. It's a screen with HTC logo and the development warning text in red underneath it. Can I easily get rid of it?

It's not part of the ROM, it's rather a part of the bootloader itself. You can change it by flashing a modified bootloader version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38387544#post38387544
Just read the thread on how to do that and find the one that fits your HBOOT version.
Coming from MaximusHD my hboot is at version 2.16... I don't see any download for that.
I've been using 20151223 UNOFFICIAL for some time now without the camera/flashlight issue. I've been using the camera more than once during the holidays.
Only trouble I have is getting cellular (3G) back online after flight modus. It's not possible. I have to restart the device every time. Anybody else experiencing this?
No, working great here on 2015-12-23 Unofficial HBOOT 2.16 from Flyer. When going out of plane mode, it takes around 15 seconds to get H icon (for HSDPA, 3G if you prefer). It may be a problem with the SIM card or advanced operator settings.

OFFICIAL and HOMEMADE builds are not intercompatible! You will need to do a full wipe if you are switching from one to the other.
CURRENT ISSUES ON OFFICIAL:
1. Incall speaker volume is too low (earpiece volume is fine)
2. Camera sometimes doesn't start (rare)
3. Blutooth and FM radio can't be used concurrently. If you use either you need to reboot to use the other.
4. Double tap to wake doesn't work
5. Adding fingerprints only works on initial device setup. Adding fingerprints from Settings is buggy.

Been trying this out since yesterday. Nice ROM, very smooth. Its great to see an AOSP rom with 90% of functionality. Battery usage is on par with stock.
One bug that I noticed is that if bluetooth is on (regardless of whether it is connected or not), it'll keep a 'bluesleep' wakelock which preents the device from going into Deep sleep.
Edit: Another note on the deep sleep problem. Even after turning bluetooth off, the phone doesn't deep sleep. Other wakelocks (event3, event4, event6) show as keeping the phone awake. Reboot fixes it and the phone can finally deep sleep.
Are you guys still enjoying this ROM?
Thanks to oshmoun to this amazing ROM i use it every days and i prefer Android 6 for the xposed module
Fantastic rom! Finally got rid of all the crap Sony bloatware.
However two questions. The camera on the back can now only shoot 8MP photo's. I've disbled the 8MP option in the setting, but it still won't let me shoot 23MP photo's. Is there a way to fix this?
Also the fingerprint scanner doesn't seem to function. When trying to add a fingerprint, it immediately fails (registration cannot be completed). Any fix?

about the camera,you need to wipe camera data after toggling 23MP mode. You'll then see the 23MP resolution in settings.
about the fingerprints, thanks for the hint. This is a bug. Sometimes it works though, so you might get lucky if you try a lot.
also, it's cool to know people are using this rom lol
if you're interested, I can post custom HOMEMADE builds that contain some bugfixes.
Notice though that HOMEMADE builds are signed differently, and won't be compatible with OFFICIAL builds. That means you'll need a full wipe before flashing and booting.

ok cool. I'll post an updated HOMEMADE build.
Main bugfixes are:
1. camera doesn't randomly crash at start anymore.
2. bluetooth doesn't cause device to stay awake
3. bluetooth and fm can be used without rebooting the device inbetween (not concurrently though, using bluetooth when fm is on will disable fm for example)
EDIT: build is done, tested and all seems ok

Thanks for the new rom. I'm going to flash it asap and let you know how it works. Keep up the work!
Tried this out today and it works really well. I'll probably try it out as a daily this week, because the bugs seem quite minor at this stage. I'm surprised that this isn't getting more attention. Since the BT bug is fixed, I'm wondering if the same fix will work for CM13 as well?
@oshmoun Nice work! I'm not sure how OmniROM works, but what is stopping you from updating official with the same changes?

Hehe well I'm just doing the building. Awesome people from the Sony open devices project helped fix the bugs
Official updates for omni 6.0 only come in form of security updates, i.e when Google uploads a new revision. That's why i can't update official that simply. Although to be honest I haven't asked if there are exceptions
I've flashed the rom today and it is working very well. The fingerprint scanner now works fine, even from the settings.
Thanks!

Really? It still doesn't work here.
Maybe it's because you did a full wipe.
Can you try adding/removing fingerprints from settings multiple times please? If it works reliably, that'd be great

I flashed the Homemade version yesterday. I too am able to add fingers after initial setup in the settings. I tried to delete a finger in order to retry but the OS shuts down and reboots.
I believe I found a bug. Homemade version.
While listening to Audio, the whole phone locks up after what seems to be random times. I've listened to audio for a few minutes then it locks. I've listened up to around 45 minutes then locks up. Never more than an hour. If it helps, I've had this occur with Google Play Music, Poweramp, and Pocket Casts apps.
To resolve this, I have to hold power and volume up (Force shut down?)

yeah so it's still buggy I guess. I don't think i'll be able to fix that though, sadly. However, I can confirm that the issue doesn't appear on android nougat.

hmmmm, yes you are right. I was able to reproduce that. I think I know why that happens. I used another fix for mp3 playback. The solution that's used in OFFICIAL is different from HOMEMADE.
well, the good news is that android nougat requires neither lol.
Thank you for your time and the build. I've never seen OmniROM before today.
Today I've tried to add some more fingerprints. But now it fails.
I skipped the fingerprint registration during the initial installation and added 3 fingers later, but now it just fails every time.
I also encountered the audio playback issue while using Spotify today.
Hey oshmoun
I'm enjoying your Homemade!
Herzlichen Dank!
Keep on coding! :good:
Hi Guys,
Some of you may remember me if you had a Galaxy S9 or Note 10... I rooted my Note 10+ 5G (N976B) Last night and decided to try and have a stab at getting stock android on there by means of project treble. This is a Semi Generic System Image - meaning it's been/being enhanced specifically for our note devices and less focused towards being cross compatible with other devices.
If you have already tested the existing treble roms you'll know that the back lighting doesn't work and you can't adjust brightness. I've had a play around and I've got a working Android 10 AOSP build with fully working backlighting. I thought I'd share as I'd seen a few people who said they can't get GSI's working.
Download System Image
Gapps are included, the image is not rooted. You can flash Magisk yourself.
How to flash:
Make sure you're on a stock based rom (and rooted/twrped) Dr Ketan posted a good guide for this.
Download the System Image above
Reboot to TWRP
Select Wipe
Slide the bar across the bottom of the screen
Go back to the main TWRP menu and select install
Press "Install Image" at the bottom right.
Select the system image you downloaded and swipe to flash.
Once the GSI boots perform another reboot - for some reason the navbar doesn't start up on first boot.
What's working and not working:
Obviously you lose S-Pen functionality, but can still use it as a stylus. You also lose the ability to use your telephoto and telescopic lenses.
UltraSonic Fingerprint isn't working at the moment, but I'm looking into fixing that.
How can you help me?
Let me know how it's working for the different device models. People on other versions please can you let me know your device vendor fingerprint. (to do this On your device, in adb or Termux app use this command: getprop ro.vendor.build.fingerprint)
Credits:
phhusson - for all the project treble work, this is all thanks to him.
Please please support N976n. ???

It should work, it's semi generic. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
If it doesn't I'll need your device fingerprint.
Good work!
Nice ... you stared to work whit the N10+ , still remember havoc in my N9 was a great time , keep goin Fox
@CodeFox. Thank you so much for your work with this! I booted successfully into Android 10 which is awesome. Installing Magisk was successful as well. Do you have any plans to add mods to this?

Glad to hear it worked for you - can I ask what specific device you're using?
No mods to this really, but right now I'm compiling a AEX pie based sGSI which I'm hoping should have some more improved functionality and potentially the fingerprint sensor working. There's no reason to mod bog standard Android 10, may aswell just use custom roms.

I managed to get fingerprint working
I seem to have gotten it working by doing a fresh reset, flashing this version of gapps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/arm64-bitgapps-q-10-0-0-t3968500), wiped cache/dalvik then rebooted. i dont know if it made a difference or not but i also held my thumb on the sensor for extra long during the initial set up. Did it on N975F

Hmm, Interesting. I will look into it. Thank you.
Thanks (and a quick question)
Thanks for the rom! This works for me on an N975F, including the fingerprint sensor. The only slight nit I have with it is that I can't figure out how to get rid of the cursor showing up on the screen when I use the stylus. Is there any chance there's a way to hide the cursor, or if it can be added? I don't use any other external input devices ever, so I'd be fully satisfied with a way to just disable the cursor globally on my device.

Was there any trick to getting the fingerprint to work?? I've had no joy with it. As soon as I try to register my fingerprint it says there was an enrolment error.
Would this gsi theoretically also fix the s10's brightness issue too?

It did this to me too when I was first setting up the phone, but after it was all set up, I went into the settings to try again, and it worked that time. It didn't show the fingerprint logo during this setup (and it still doesn't on the lock screen), but after a couple tries I was able to estimate correctly where the sensor was. Interestingly, the fingerprint logo does come up in the password manager app I use when I go to unlock it.
Not sure if there are logs that would help or if recording my screen while adding a new fingerprint would be informative, but I'd be happy to do either if that helps you debug in some way.

For what it's worth, all the other GSI's I've tried for the Note 10+ weren't able to adjust the backlight; this is the first one where it just worked. I don't have an S10 to try this out on though, so I have no idea how this ROM would run on it.
LTE working despite phone claiming 3G
One thing I've noticed with this ROM is that the phone claims that it's always only getting 3G rather than LTE and has no bars; however, from doing a speed test on data (with wifi turned off, of course), I got around 8.5 Mbps down, which from a quick Google seems to be will beyond 3G range and into the range that LTE would give. If anyone else thinks they are having issues with getting LTE, I suggest doing a speed test, since you might actually be getting it despite what the phone reports.

Go into your network settings and change the default connection from 3g to LTE/4G/3G.
For some reason it seems to default to 3g preferred.
I just flashed the new Android 11 beta on my Pixel 4 to just check out what's new and thought we could have a little discussion about some of the bigger changes and opinions. The changes I immediately am excited about are:
1) Finally added a pause/play gesture to project Soli!! (Works fantastic)
2) In the display settings, there is now a toggle to increase display touch sensitivity for screen protectors
3) Added a new qs icon for the built in screen recording
While testing the new Soli pause/play, I also immediately noticed how much more improved all of the hand gestures are. Not just the new pause, but also the skipping forward and backwards are so much more accurate and successful for me. It's an extremely welcome change and while Soli always worked decent for me, on the 11 beta I'm getting about 95%-99% success on all hand gestures compared to my about 80% on Android 10.
The screen sensitivity is another welcome addition for me personally. I have a glass screen protector and with the new option enabled, I can absolutely feel a difference in display response. I will admit that before updating, I hadn't had any screen responsiveness complaints but now that there's an option to improve it, I am very pleased with the results. If anything, it may be a tiny bit too responsive. While typing this post out, Gboard seems to occasionally hit a letter before I actually make contact with the screen. Other than that, it's fantastic. My back gestures seem to be the most beneficial from this.
The screen recording qs icon is a cool new addition, although I had native screen recording enabled on Android 10, there was no super quick way to start a recording session.
Lastly, I noticed a few new things in developer options but as I'm no Dev, I really don't know what they do. Oh, they did add a screen frame-rate overlay so you can see the current refresh rate of your screen.
I will be running this for a few days to see if and how battery life is affected and I'll post my findings here. Feel free to comment additional findings or opinions on the new Android 11 beta!
Here are some screenshots of my findings so far.

Strange, I haven't heard of this being an issue for anyone else yet. I even dirty flashed the 11 beta, didn't erase my userdata so I was expecting issues and it's been flawless. Try re-flashing the Android 11 factory image, that we almost certainly fix your issue.

Yeah, Google pay does not work on it. I received a pop up about it earlier this morning.
For those having face unlock setup issues: Factory reset your phone either in recovery or the settings menu. This happens when you don't clear face unlock before flashing a factory image with the -w option.
(Also, finally hitting my 1000th post with this 10 years later... Can't believe it's been that long)

Nope, unfortunately the Pixel line will most likely never have hardware HDMI out capability due to the Chromecast's existence. I have a Chromecast and still would love to have HDMI over usb-c, it's just not going to happen.
