CM12.1 for Huawei Honor 3C

This is the link to the guide for flashing cm 12.1 on our Honor 3C - H30-U10. I don't own any of these builds or fixes, i just wanted to make this thread so that these things are easily available to people who CRAVE for Cyanogenmod on their honor 3c devices like me and ask for some help regarding the installation of apks. http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/08/install-honor-3c-cyanogenmod-12-1-lollipop-custom-rom-unofficial/
this is the link to the various builds of cm 12.1 https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3SBd/vVnPaUJ4C/ , however the one which has 20150923 in its name doesn't seem to boot up after flashing so i have flashed the one with 20150309 in its name which boots up fine and works pretty well.
Flash the Gapps also for the play store and google play services to work. Here is the link for it - http://www.carbontesla.com/download-google-apps-gapps/
Now, i tried PA Gapps mini and cyanogen 12.1 Gapps but they didnt work for me but AFH Gapps did work. You guys can try the former ones as there might have been some issue at my side.
The IMEI lost problem is there which can be solved by either restoring IMEI numbers using MTK or this zip http://1drv.ms/1FNtZUj. This may not be a permanent fix and the SIM not detected error may start showing up after a reboot but, it can be fixed by re-flashing this zip at recovery OR another rather stupid looking workound XD XD by turning on the airplane mode before rebooting and then switching it off after the boot up has finished.
I couldn't find the "Select default storage option" in the storage settings nor could i find the select preferred app installation location option in the Apps settings, so i found a workaround for linking the /sdcard in the root folder to /storage/sdcard1. Here is the script for it which has to be run everytime after booting the device in the terminal emulator:
1. first gain root privileges by entering su int the terminal.
2. type: mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1 /sdcard
That's it!! Now the default storage is your external sd card, one drawback of this is that you can't access the internal storage. If you want to access it, reboot your device and everything will revert back. if you want to set the default storage to the ext sd card, follow the above steps again.
THE PROBLEM: Apparently apks dont get installed most of the times even after enabling Unknown sources in the developer options, i don't know if this is the problem of google services or something, i would like someone to help out with this issue.
EDIT 1: The one which has 20150923 in its name boots up just fine, it needs more than one time dalvik cache deletion and factory resets.

Thanks for sharing ... some upgrade or new information in the last days...

This rom has several bugs. The only one version i still prefer to use is 151129 version
The latest 151202 doesn't booting after flash. Seems there's something wrong with boot.img
Anyway, i wish the developers will keep research and improve this rom to fix the bugs

Nothing new has happened mate

LineageOS 13.0 for Samsung Galaxy Core Plus

*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

Introduction
This is a UNOFFICIAL build of LineageOS for the Samsung Galaxy Core Plus.
It's not ready yet and has some bugs in it which could cause problems to some users.
The ROM will only work on the SM-G350 Version of the Phone (without any Numbers/Letters behind).
This ROM could be used for daily use now (though you should look at the list of what doesn't work first).
Known Bugs
Camera sometimes switches to green-purple. The resulting picture doesn't have the weird color, but it may be flipped and/or distorted at the edges.
Video Recording
Codecs (some work, some don't. I tested MP4 and AVI, both work. I should really make a list...)
Installation Instructions
Special thanks to @Giovix92 for making this tutorial!
Requirements:
1: A computer with Windows.
2: An Internet connection.
3: A backup of your phone data (contacts, photo, music, videos, and other).
4: About 300 MB free space on your SD card.
5: Phone charged at least 80%.
Download links are below
I do NOT take any responsibility for bricked devices!
Let's start!
1: Download the Samsung USB Drivers.
2: Download the ODIN3. (Only for Windows)
3: Download the TWRP Odin package to your desktop and download the LineageOS 13 zip to your SD card.
4: Make a backup of your files, because the storage will be wiped. (External SD card will not be wiped)
5: Reboot your phone in to the Download mode (Volume Down- , Home- and Power button). Press the Volume Up button when asked. Then open the ODIN3 and connect your phone to your PC.
6: Press AP and choose the TWRP Odin package (recovery.tar) and make sure re-partition is NOT ticked. "Auto-Reboot" should not be ticked either, otherwise you will need to be quick to boot into the recovery immediately after flashing.
7: Press start! Wait a few seconds. Then your phone will be rebooted. Now you can disconnect the cable and power off your phone.
8: Boot your phone in to the TWRP Recovery (Volume Up-, Home- and Power button).
9: Go to Wipe, and Swipe to Factory Reset.
10. After wiping go to the home screen by pressing the home button.
11: Go to Install. Choose the "external_sd" from the top bar. (It says "Storage: Internal Storage (xxxxMB)" by default)
12: Choose the LineageOS 13 ZIP and Swipe to Confirm Flash. Make sure you don't power off while flashing!
13: After the zip has been flashed choose "Reboot System".
14: Wait 5-15 minutes to boot the phone. If the phone keeps booting take out the battery and do a Factory Reset again.
15: When the phone boots the first time, go through the Setup Wizard and you are ready to use your phone!
If there was something you didn't understand, please don't hesitate to ask

Still working on that.

I just noticed that the sound sometimes "breaks" and sounds like damaged speakers (just for a part of a second, nothing permanent). I don't know if this is a software problem or just my phone. Can someone confirm that? It sometimes happens when doing a call or pressing random numbers at the Dialer. It also seems to happen only with standard sound level or higher.
I'll check it after I fixed (or tried to fix) Internet and SD Card

This is the same on stock when listening YT idk why it happens.
For the sdcard fix check if there are correct mounts for vold.fstab or framework
BTW. Videoplayback isnt working good on YT on Internet browser and is glitched too on chrome.

Not now, still working on it. I don't even know where to search.

something about the vpn? or maybe something isnt compatible with cm13?

I searched on google and disable the firewall could be a solution.

Well, i just red here "https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/official-cm13-nightly-builds-rolling-out-for-opo.411202/page-103" that its may be fault of the recovery. I dont think that we all got the same twrp though, is something you can test? i used santori's twrp, i had it flashed quite a time. maybe an update or a modification will solve that issue

I knew we need TWRP 3.x.x to install an Android 6.0+ Rom. So, the network issue, could be related to the recovery version.
We should to update the recovery first, to install Marshmallow (and up) on a smartphone

allright, i'll check up for a twrp for our phone :angel:
EDIT: on the official twrp/devices, there is not our device. so, what's up next?

Hey, I'm new here at xda forums. I just installed this ROM on my galaxy core plus, and it works great. My phone is now super snappy. But many features don't work as of now, the bluetooth actually worked for me, I didnt expect it to after reading the post. When will these bugs be fixed, and more importantly how can I follow so that I can get my hands on the new release as soon as it gets out? Thanks a lot!

I still need to search what causes the Internet and SD Card to fail. Bluetooth does work, only Bluetooth Calls, Car connection and other devices are untested.
You can subscribe to this thread or subscribe to the DevDB project, to get a notification if it's updated. To get updates on your Smartphone, you could install XDA Legacy (Tapatalk) or XDA Labs (just called XDA) from Play Store.

CM Recovery didn't fix the problem. And I somehow can't get TWRP to boot.

[ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 Nightlies for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (d2vzw)

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.

* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

*/
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.
Download Links
LineageOS:
Downloads: https://download.lineageos.org/d2vzw
Google apps addon:
OpenGapps: http://opengapps.org/ (you'll want a zip for the ARM platform, Android version 7.1)
HEADS UP: Be sure you flash the gapps package with your rom. If you boot your rom, then go back and try to flash gapps after the fact, you're gonna have a bad time.
Firmware:
Your best bet is to be on the MF1 bootstack/NE1 modem combo. Here's a flashable zip (this only needs to be done once): http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/d2/d2vzw_MF1_firmware_NE1_modem.zip

Hallelujah!
Is this the eighth or ninth life of this great phone?

@invisiblek, are there plans for the release of a Snapshot of CM13.0 for the d2vzw?

Congratulations on the "official" release!! Thank you for such an excellent and stable ROM for our ooooold, but no longer irrelevant, s3!

Nice job! Wich partitions can I mount as f2fs?

Just out of curiosity regarding the CM14.1...
Anyone having issue with internet connectivity specifically with the Play Store only (downloaded from Open GApps)?
Also, is anyone having issues with their external MicroSD. Though the external MicroSD can be viewed and can browse it, I'm Specifically stating the inability to execute, open, write to, etc...?
I had already sent the issues I'm having along with all my log files to @invisiblek and was curious as to any others experiencing the same/similar issues I experienced.
Thank you all for your time and understanding!

Thank you @invisiblek and other contributors. This is a great rom for this old phone. My DD is a LG G4, again, I went back to that after three Note 7's and all that drama. It's sad when a years old Galaxy S3 is running the latest and greatest but my LG G4 is still on last years Android! Yikes
I'm only using the SGS3 as a Wifi device so I can't comment on Cell radio functions but it's very smooth and seems markedly faster than when I was last using it as a DD. The only issue I've had and it may not even be related to this rom... I wanted to use Chainfire's PryFi to stick it to Kohls and Walmart that use WiFi Mac trackers, but when I launch PryFi and turn it on, it almost immediately crashes no matter what I do. Wipe cache, dalvik, reset and I get the same thing.
Thanks for the great work. Much appreciated!

@invisiblek, I'm reading elsewhere that the CM14.x should be installed first, then after the setup is accomplished, reboot back in to the recovery, then flash the GApps package.
Is this correct?
I just wanted to be sure in regards to the unconventional method of flashing the CM and the GApps together then reboot.
But, as you may know, after installing the 2 conventionally, I'm having trouble with the Play Store as well as the External MicroSD after setup.
I'd really appreciate your confirmation.
Thanks a Bunch!

I had a problem installing the first time - I put build+Open GApps Aroma in the que and when the Aroma install was supposed to come up everything went black but the phone was still on. I flashed one and then the other without booting and it booted into initial setup normally.
But, I created a Nandroid with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and tried to restore the last Unofficial 14.1 build nandroid that worked normally but I couldn't get the sim card to work. Same when I tried to restore the new official. I tried numerous different ways to hold my mouth but it would never mount the SIM and settings was crapped out. I was able to restore my last MM nandroid and have it work normally. I've just switched to the latest TWRP 3.x.x.x. Don't know if that has anything to do with it....
I'm clean installing the new official again! It got stuck on boot (wrong boot animation, too) but pulling the batt and restarting, it went normally. (My Tibu settings were in the /data wipe. Gotta mount one and pull them )

Thank you for your response!
I always had the latest TWRP 3.0.2-0 installed.
I flashed the CM14.1 20161207, Open GApps Pico 20161207 and, at first, SuperSU 2.78 Stable then when I retried a fresh install, i used SuperSU 2.78 SR5.
The same issues occurred (primarily) with the Play Store not being able to access the Internet the Internet and being able to see everything on my External MicroSD but, still not being able to read, write, move copy, install, etc...
I did see, during the initial bootup where you have the initial setup of CM & Google, the Google setup went fine but, I did notice that the carrier name reflected "no service" or "unknown" or something similar. I had ventured in to the network settings and did see everything needed in there so I didn't give it another thought.
To be honest, my opinion is that i really don't think that the release of the OFFICIAL CM14.1 Nightly was not ready yet.
I had to E-mailed @invisiblek the list of issues along with the installation log files from both the CM14.1 and the GApps but, I haven't even received an acknowledgement of at least a thank you.
@invisiblek is listed as the primary point of contact for Cyanogenmod and other than e-mailing him along with posting the issue here to his attention, I'm not sure how else to report any issues/feedback to Cyanogenmod... Cyanogenmod doesn't really pay attention to their own forums that has resulted in most individuals not even bothering with posting anything there anymore.
I'm personally going to put CM14.1 on hold till there's either some indication of improvement or finding some information reflecting my issues with some fixes, tryouts, solutions, etc...
I'm real disappointed with this...

I'll attempt to try to help with some of the issues here, as I have direct contact with invisiblek pretty much daily. First I will start off with a few questions, NOT poking, just asking, this also may address some previous posts as well... You have a verizon SCH-I535 correct, and not another variant? Just making sure. And to start you wiped data in TWRP (wipe to install new ROM option basically). Told it to flash your 12/07 build? Did you ADD the "opengapps 7.1 ARM Pico" build to the multiple flash option, or did you flash rom, then go back in and flash opengapps? After it rebooted, it sometimes takes a while to get the setup to actually start and display, sometimes it goes to a black screen for minutes, but be patient, it will come.. At that point in time, it will initialize sim card and be connected, as this was my experience on all 3 of my S3 phones in my household. Then proceed through setup...
Is your external card formatted as "portable storage", or is it formatted as "Adopted storage". Also what type of filesystem do you have the card formatted with? What file manager are you using to try to access your card with? There was some expected changes that might have to be worked out as the "unofficial" roms were running Selinux in permissive mode, and the "official" roms are running it in Enforcing mode. That is bound to cause some small differences in the way the 2 roms behave. Also, I need to ask why you are trying to install SuperSU on a rom that already has Root (and the ability to manage it) built into the rom? There might be some issues being caused by that in itself.
I know that personally BusyBox (I rely on it daily) will NOT install on the official for me, but installs fine on the unofficials. Also, I have had limited luck with the built in file manager. I have used ES File Explorer forever, and it continues to behave well on this rom. Also, even if you are going to nandroid back and forth between official and unofficial, it is best to do a wipe of DATA before the nandroid... As far as the play store goes, I haven't experienced any lack of connectivity. I do get very small intermittent blips where it seems like it isn't connected for a second or 2, but it is very rare, and it has always been like that as far as I can remember.. Part of the reason that is for me is because I use a network extender, and it has always been the achilles heel with CM.
Try going into TWRP, do the "wipe to install new rom", add the cm zip, and ALSO add the latest "Opengapps arm 7.1 pico or micro" (your choice) build into the zip queue so that they are flashed in succession. Let it rip, and see if that offers you any different results. After you get it initially setup, go into developer options and enable root as needed. Give it a run and see what issue are still present, if any. I am surprised to hear some of these issues, as between myself, my kids, and a handful of friends, everyone is super stoked at how well these early builds are running... I myself have less than 3 reported issues from friends that we are looking into, and they are all just cosmetic bugs so far... I will be glad to try to help in any way possible..
P.S. There have been quite a few things resolved/changed between TWRP 2.8.7.0 and 3.0.2-0, I would highly suggest not only upgrading to the latest TWRP version, but also making sure you are on the firmware versions that are mentioned in the OP.

I'll attempt to try to help with some of the issues here, as I have direct contact with invisiblek pretty much daily. First I will start off with a few questions, NOT poking, just asking, this also may address some previous posts as well... You have a verizon SCH-I535 correct, and not another variant? Just making sure. And to start you wiped data in TWRP (wipe to install new ROM option basically). Told it to flash your 12/07 build? Did you ADD the "opengapps 7.1 ARM Pico" build to the multiple flash option, or did you flash rom, then go back in and flash opengapps? After it rebooted, it sometimes takes a while to get the setup to actually start and display, sometimes it goes to a black screen for minutes, but be patient, it will come.. At that point in time, it will initialize sim card and be connected, as this was my experience on all 3 of my S3 phones in my household. Then proceed through setup...
Is your external card formatted as "portable storage", or is it formatted as "Adopted storage". Also what type of filesystem do you have the card formatted with? What file manager are you using to try to access your card with? There was some expected changes that might have to be worked out as the "unofficial" roms were running Selinux in permissive mode, and the "official" roms are running it in Enforcing mode. That is bound to cause some small differences in the way the 2 roms behave. Also, I need to ask why you are trying to install SuperSU on a rom that already has Root (and the ability to manage it) built into the rom? There might be some issues being caused by that in itself.
I know that personally BusyBox (I rely on it daily) will NOT install on the official for me, but installs fine on the unofficials. Also, I have had limited luck with the built in file manager. I have used ES File Explorer forever, and it continues to behave well on this rom. Also, even if you are going to nandroid back and forth between official and unofficial, it is best to do a wipe of DATA before the nandroid... As far as the play store goes, I haven't experienced any lack of connectivity. I do get very small intermittent blips where it seems like it isn't connected for a second or 2, but it is very rare, and it has always been like that as far as I can remember.. Part of the reason that is for me is because I use a network extender, and it has always been the achilles heel with CM.
Try going into TWRP, do the "wipe to install new rom", add the cm zip, and ALSO add the latest "Opengapps arm 7.1 pico or micro" (your choice) build into the zip queue so that they are flashed in succession. Let it rip, and see if that offers you any different results. After you get it initially setup, go into developer options and enable root as needed. Give it a run and see what issue are still present, if any.

Okay... I tried to sort out and answer all the questions the best i could.
I also attached the log files. They are dated according to the Nightly releases.
Q: You have a verizon SCH-I535 correct, and not another variant?
A: Yes. I have an SCH-I535.
Q: And to start you wiped data in TWRP (wipe to install new ROM option basically).
A: 1) Factory Reset. 2) Wipe Dalvik, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and System. 3) Format Data. Then Restart Recovery back to TWRP.
Q: Told it to flash your 12/07 build?
Did you ADD the "opengapps 7.1 ARM Pico" build to the multiple flash option, or did you flash rom, then go back in and flash opengapps?
A: Install and select CM14.1 12/07 build then the Open GApps 7.1 ARM Pico. To add... I tried flashing the 2 above only, then tried the same 2 above with SuperSU 2.78 Stable, lastly the 2 above with SuperSU 2.78 SR5. All resulted with the same issues.
Q: Is your external card formatted as "portable storage", or is it formatted as "Adopted storage".
A: Portable Storage.
Q: Also what type of filesystem do you have the card formatted with?
A: VFAT
Q: What file manager are you using to try to access your card with?
A: Stock & ES File Explorer Pro
Q: Also, I need to ask why you are trying to install SuperSU on a rom that already has Root (and the ability to manage it) built into the rom?
A: I'm aware of the stock root manager but, i've always preferred SuperSU's root management.
I really appreciate your assistance and please don't hesitate to defer to @invisiblek if necessary.
Also, please keep in mind that I'm not in a race. Take your time because patience is a virtue...
Thank you very much!!!
I wonder if the GApps issue is the underlying issue. I hope @MastahF & @Rapper_skull is aware of and working on it?

I know this may sound funny but I've had this EXACT response from clean installs using the tiny GApps packages. Try one of the larger ones or the Aroma installer. (I know it's annoying if you want to keep all that crap off your phone ...)
As I said, I installed without using the qeue. I also wiped Dalvik/cache AFTER the installations, as per the OpenGApps instructions.
Oh, and my phone is purring like a kitten with 12/7 on it! XD
PS - Except for that dang restore issue. Scared to try it again but I gotta try it again eventually.

I have the same version as well. I go to the store, click install on the Pro version. It installs just fine... I then go in and open the program, it immediately asks for the needed root permissions, which I promptly give it, then I close the welcome message. When I actually then click install from within the program, it then tries to install for about 2 seconds and then says "oops, it looks like the installation was unsuccessful, maybe try a different location"....
Who knows.... :laugh:
Other than that, I agree, purring like a kitten!

There was a member in the GApps thread who had mentioned that he had a similar issue.
He stated that what worked for him was flashing a GApps Pico package on from about 30 days ago.
I believe that others had to flash their GApps packages from about 30 days ago had worked for them.
I know that this is an issue for many others who also reported it to the Dev(s).
I can't think of what in the world is going on...

[ROM][7.1.2][UNOFFICIAL][PORT] Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 for Lenovo A7600-F [MT6582]

Hello A7600-F Tablet owners, It's been awhile since there has been an updated ROM for this tablet. I have released ported ROMs for this tablet before, however they all had some annoying bugs and many of you reported issues with corrupted SD card partitions. The goal of this ROM is to provide as close to daily driver material for this old tablet as possible.
What better ROM than Resurrection Remix to do the job! :good:
Instructions:
Follow carefully! This process involves going back to STOCK firmware FIRST! This is to ensure your Internal storage gets properly formatted.
SAVE YOUR PERSONAL DATA! (Some where other than your tablet) You will lose it when flashing stock firmware. Don't worry about the struggles of getting ROOT on stock firmware, I have expedited the process greatly.
STEP 1: Get back to stock firmware. THIS STEP ERASES EVERYTHING, so save your data!!! Don't skip this step.
- Get any stock firmware file from here and follow the tutorial also in this link!
- The SP-Flash tool and drivers are all conveniently included with the firmware download.​- Don't worry about taking the battery out when the tutorial says to.​- If you have issues with the driver provided in the download, try these. (Run dpinst.exe)​ - Once completed boot into the new firmware just to ensure that you were successful. (Don't worry about going through initial setup we don't need it)
STEP 2: Install TWRP without root. You should now have a stock A7600-F Tablet, lets put TWRP back on.
- We will install TWRP with the same SP-Flash tool so that root is not required.
- Download the SP-Flashable TWRP image and scatter file from here.
- Follow the instructions in the tutorial linked in step 1 again but use the extracted TWRP scatter file you just downloaded instead of the stock firmware scatter file.
- You should only see "RECOVERY" listed in SP Flash Tool instead of all the stock partitions like last time​ - Once complete unplug the USB and use Vol-UP and Power buttons to get into TWRP
STEP 3: Wiping Instructions. THIS IS IMPORTANT! You should have TWRP installed and running at this point.
- DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE! Doing so will cause the Corrupt SD-Card errors!
- Just don't do it! There is never any need to wipe internal storage on most devices.
- Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
- Select only: Dalvik/Art Cache, System, Cache, and Data
- Wipe it.
STEP 4: Installing RR 7.1.2. You should now have an A7600-F with the stock partitions restored, and no ROM installed, sitting in the TWRP main menu.
- ROM Download: here
- GAPPS Download: here (Select Arm, 7.1, and whatever size you want)
- Now simply flash the ROM ZIP followed by the Gapps ZIP.
Reboot and Enjoy!
Things I improved over previous ROM PORTS:
- Better Audio quality
- Smoother Substratum OMS Support
- Camera Fixes
- FM Radio (Headphones only)

Just yesterday I've dusted off this tablet, and so I was browsing the forums to see what rom I can put inside, and lickily, about the same time this thread was created! Installing it right now, gonna post a follow-up once I'm finished tinkering with it.

OK, firstly wanna thank you for this awesome rom, it's stable and fast, no major issue with it. What I did find, however, is that the camera flash is not working along with the night mode which is not turning on. Besides those two issues, everything seems to be in working order
Cheers!

Thanks for the report.
Camera flash? My A7600 Does not have a flash. No actual LED to produce a flash.
As for the Night mode, I have ported a lot of ROMS to this device and I havn't ever seen the night mode work right. If I even do get it to turn on, it lags the whole device.

Haha, I've turned the damn thing over, looked at the sensor, and you're right. Havent actually used this device previously to know about it, so glad we have that one sorted out!

Thanks SaberShip. The ROM works great for general use and apps but I'm having an issue downloading files. It says SD card not found Download to default folder. I attempt to download to Downloads folder where it says I have 10.43gb stroage available but it keeps telling me SD card not found. I don't use an SD card for storage on the device. Do I need to use one or can you offer any other advice? I've carefully gone through above installation steps 3 times.

So I put in an sd card and I then had option to save to downloads or sd. I still could not select downloads but I could select sd card which is worrying for me now. Thanks again Sabership. Nice work

What app are you using? I have not seen any issues with downloading yet. If you see 10.43Gb it sounds like your internal storage is formatted correctly. I haven't seen any download issues with Firefox and ES-File Explorer.

Unable to flash firmware - because unable to install Android USB driver on Windows 10
Thank you for the new firmware. However, the instructions to install the Android USB driver in smartphone flash tool (link below) the link below does not work.. There is a signature error and everyone (as per youtube video comments) is having same problem.

Main post updated with signed drivers. Please try it now.

Thank you @SaberShip!
The installation of Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 was successful after installing the signed Android USB driver!. System is stable and fast. Thank you again.
App issues:
1. Netflix app (not available on playstore, but at netflix web site) works online, but does not allow video downloads.
Netflix diagnostic error for download is OF.NA.4 -which probably means device does not meet security requirements. ? any workarounds?
// Amazon Prime video works, with offline video downloads as well. Google chrome works. Tried other apps as well.
Documentation issues (minor):
1. "- GAPPS Download: here (Select Arm, 7.1, and whatever size you want)" --> Google Apps Super package did not install since the device ran out of space (error 70). Google Apps "Nano" worked.
System issues:
1. Wifi still does not auto-reconnect after Wireless Access Point is rebooted, but given that this has happened with different ROMs I am concluding it is due to a hardware issue with this device (and not ROM specific).
// Skype camera issue fixed. Camera image is NO longer upside down.

Netflix app not working on ROM due to Widevine DRM
Great job on the ROM!! - it is fast and stable.
I have been investigating why the <latest> Netflix app with offline download capability does not work with Resurrection Remix 5.85 ROM.
I found that some other ROM has similar problem, and it was caused because Widevine DRM was not supported. Netfix (latest app and offline download) started working after Widevine DRM support was added to that ROM.
Is it possible to support Widevine DRM in this ROM?
Here is the quote from another ROM:
"Quote:

After some digging, I'm pretty sure the error is due to the fact that on, I think any Oreo rom available for bacon, Widevine Drm is not supported (as u can see in the screenshot below). I think it's connected to the files in the screenshot below, but I didn't manage to find a solution. I believe it must be implemented by someone directly in the rom code (I'm absolutely not an expert). I'm also sure it's not connected with root or anything else (the Netflix app is available in the play store for me).

SaberShip, thank you for all your work and caring about the A7600-F! Your instructions are clean and elegant. It's great to be able to install your ROM without root. It looks and performs great.
I installed your ROM a week ago. Unfortunately, I've spent much time since then trying to get NordVPN to work. It worked fine on the stock version of my tablet. Now, it connects to NordVPN servers, but fails to adopt the remote IP address (whatismyv6.com reports my ISP IP).
I've exhausted [email protected] I'd be grateful for any pointers you might have.

Hello,
so i will thank Sabership, too, for his new build. I went the way as most builds are normally flashed - reboot from AIM build into TWRP, did a factory reset, and flashed RR and a new GApps build. Everything went fine, i am just typing on it. The bug with WiFi not connecting automatically i am hoping will be gone, it was the only bug i found in AIM for me.
One question: the security patch date is of November 2017. Will there be an update (as asked in AIM, too)?
Regards

I believe VPN connectivity may have been one of the issues with the original ROM even before I ported it to the A7600F. Therefore, there isn't much I can do unfortunately.
If you absolutely need VPN, your options are to use Stock ROM or find a different ROM that has VPN working. Another possible workaround is to setup NordVPN on your router or whatever gateway is between you and the internet: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047409322/Setting-up-a-router-with-NordVPN.htm

I have witnessed wifi disconnection issues on every ROM I've ever ported/used for this device aside from Stock I wish there was more that I could do. As mentioned in the title and before, this ROM is ported from another device. What this means is that I don't have the source code and therefore cannot update things like Android security patch dates. If this were a ROM built from source, I would simply have to sync with updated RR sources to get the new patches and RR bugfixes/features. To do it with a port, I need to find a whole new ROM with the updated sources and then port the whole ROM over to this device again. That is just too much work.
As a side note, I had intended this to be the last ROM I ported for this device due to its age, however If there is enough demand and I can find one, maybe someday I will port a more updated Oreo ROM to this device. Good quality MT6582 Oreo ROMs built from source are still not really common.

Thanks for your answer. If only i could do something like that of my own... i have so much interests, i don't know if i could learn that in a usefull time!
By the way, why did you call it "old"? i'm using the Galaxy S2 build 2011, with LineageOS 16. I think this is an old device , like my Galaxy Tab 1 and 2.
But anyway, thanks for your work. After some time i'll write again about issues i found, if it will be helpful.

Thank you, SaberShip. It's been on my list to get a DD-WRT enabled router, so maybe now's the time.
I've had no problems with WiFi.
If you build an updated Oreo ROM, I volunteer to test it. I'm fond of my A7600-F.

- If you have issues with the driver provided in the download, try these. (Run dpinst.exe)
- Once completed boot into the new firmware just to ensure that you were successful. (Don't worry about going through initial setup we don't need it)
STEP 2: Install TWRP without root. You should now have a stock A7600-F Tablet, lets put TWRP back on.
- We will install TWRP with the same SP-Flash tool so that root is not required.
- Download the SP-Flashable TWRP image and scatter file from here.
- Follow the instructions in the tutorial linked in step 1 again but use the extracted TWRP scatter file you just downloaded instead of the stock firmware scatter file.
- You should only see "RECOVERY" listed in SP Flash Tool instead of all the stock partitions like last time
- Once complete unplug the USB and use Vol-UP and Power buttons to get into TWRP
STEP 3: Wiping Instructions. THIS IS IMPORTANT! You should have TWRP installed and running at this point.
- DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE! Doing so will cause the Corrupt SD-Card errors!
- Just don't do it! There is never any need to wipe internal storage on most devices.
- Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
- Select only: Dalvik/Art Cache, System, Cache, and Data
- Wipe it.
STEP 4: Installing RR 7.1.2. You should now have an A7600-F with the stock partitions restored, and no ROM installed, sitting in the TWRP main menu.
- ROM Download: here
- GAPPS Download: here (Select Arm, 7.1, and whatever size you want)
- Now simply flash the ROM ZIP followed by the Gapps ZIP.
Reboot and Enjoy!
Things I improved over previous ROM PORTS:
- Better Audio quality
- Smoother Substratum OMS Support
- Camera Fixes
- FM Radio (Headphones only)

Does usb otg work?

Just tested, It works perfectly with my USB wireless Keyboard and mouse combo.
When I tried a USB flash drive it did not mount automatically, however "SDA" does appear in the /dev/block/ directory so you can likely mount the flash storage manually with some terminal commands. YMMV

USB OTG works with both my wired and wireless trackballs (Logitech).
I mount/unmount flash drives with StickMount and explore them with Total Commander.

excellent. Works very well

[DISCUSSION] LineageOS 17.1 [HLTE/CHN/KOR/TMO][OFFICIAL]

Can we continue to discuss topics about the new - big thx to devs, btw! - official 17.1 version in this thread, pls?
(I know the differences to the unofficial version(s) might be minimal - or even null? - however I think it's always of value to be as clear, sharp and crisp avoiding ambiguities, esp. for folks who are not too familiar with the different contexts)
BTW: just for the record my (dirty) upgrade path from lineage-16.0-20201003-nightly-hlte-signed.zip version to lineage-17.1-20201010-nightly-hlte-signed.zip was as follows:
DLed / copied off my NAS the files of lineage-17.1-20201010-nightly-hlte-signed.zip, open_gapps-arm-10.0-nano-20201010.zip and Magisk v20.4 to external SD)
Let the system DL and install recent pending updates
Rebooted into Recovery (twrp-3.4.0-1-hlte)
Created a nandroid backup of Boot, System, Data and EFS partition to internal SD (and copied those to the external SD, plus a further copy to my NAS)
Wiped Dalvik / ART Cache, System and Cache partition
Installed LOS and GApps
(Dirty) Rebooted into System letting the system run a couple of minutes, checking for updates etc.
Rebooted into Recovery
Installed Magisk
Wiped Dalvik / ART Cache
Rebooted into System
(Enabled systemless host file in Magisk to support Adaway Adblocker app)

Quick questions:
1. Does that AdAway work well?
2. Does automatic dark mode work for you? I have to turn it on manually. Maybe due to turned off GPS so it can't get my location and set sunrise and sunset times?

1 : yes
2 : yes..update maybe your modem

re 1: yes2 (using it quite some time on various devices and it seems to do what I expect it should do, though some apps seem to bypass the 'normal' DNS resolution. OT: And I'm still haven't made up my mind yet if DoH or DoT are good or bad ...)
re 2: dark mode? What's that?

Are you sure NFC works? I mean paying in shops? I updated modem and now it's N9005XXUGPQB1. And paying still doesn't work. I've just tried.

Sorry. It's dark theme (I don't have English set as default language). [emoji846]

installation error

https://download.lineageos.org/hltetmo

Can somebody please confirm that paying through NFC works? If so - what's your modem and baseband?
Also I've installed GAPPS PICO maybe that's the case? Although on LOS 16 I also had Pico and it worked, but maybe I'm missing some app like Google search or something?

Been using Lineage OS 16 ever since it was officially released for HLTE. I gotta say, the development of that release has came a long way and by the time of writing this, I'd say it's the most stable and clean custom rom for the Note 3 out there.
I did try the new release the second I received a notification for an update. How did it go? Well let's just say I'm glad I created a full system backup before wiping LOS 16. This new release is still very buggy, unpolished and missing a lot of features. Nothing that will render your phone unusable, but compared to 16, it doesn't stand a chance, which is understandable.
I do appreciate all of the time that the devs are still willing to put into the platform. However I'd recommend users that are looking for a rock stable experience to stick with Lineage OS 16 for the time. You're not missing out on a lot.

I think your statement will get more weight, when it will be supported with some facts:
It'd be helpful if you would underpin your statement with some of your findings about e.g. which bugs you found and which features you are missing!? thx

I have to agree with you, because except my 2 issues (with NFC payments and night mode that doesn't switch automatically) I actually don't have any other problems.
Ver. 17 seems faster and snappier than 16.
Also on 16 sometimes sharing from ie. Firefox to WhatsApp caused the later one not loading (just black screen).
So for me only that NFC seems to be a real issue. Other than that I'd advice anyone trying 17.

made a clean flash with nanodroid and last lolz..the rom is mostly usable ..
got sometimes, not often some little freezes and stock music stop..otherwise it's reliable
both options, stay on 16.0 for stability or move to 17.1 are possible...

for me the only difference is the size of the home screen changed (changed trebuchet to a larger grid before), otherwise i would not even have noticed it is not 16 anymore, rock stable even after a dirty flash

Hello. I have the latest version of LineageOS 16 installed and TWRP (3.3.1.0). I ask you if, after transferring the ROM file to the phone, it is possible to use TWRP to upgrade to 17.1 (by installing the zip file) or if I have to use ADB shell (as it says on the LineageOS official site).
Sorry I'm not an expert and some steps are not clear to me
Thank you
PS
Why you wrote "dirty"
(Dirty) Rebooted into System letting the system run a couple of minutes, checking for updates etc.

Hi Apten
i) think your Qs won't need a full quote
ii) drity flashing
iii) sure you can DL the ROM (and TWRP) to your (internal RAM) of your phone and upgrade or clean install from recovery (twrp)
