[Q&A] CyanogenMod 12.0 for Photon Q

Q&A for CyanogenMod 12.0 for Photon Q
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for CyanogenMod 12.0 for Photon Q. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

So far so good for CM12, everything runs really smooth. Only issues are the default text app send button is grayed out and won't let you send but using Google messenger app it works fine. Is there any reason to why the send button wouldn't work?
LTE seems to work well but visually every now and then it seems to disconnect/reconnect but functions fine. And just a quick/dumb question which CDMA subscription should we use, RUIM/SIM or NV as I found info on RUIM/SIM but couldn't really find much on the definition of NV.

I really wanted to know that everybody has no problem at all in logging in Google+ with the latest version of its client.
I'm having trouble the most recent one that I can download from Play Store, : v5.1.0
I had to restore the backed up version of v5.0

I recently got the multimedia dock for this phone and I've noticed that some things don't work. None of the USB ports on the dock seem to interface with the OS, but any peripheral connected by a USB OTG cable (while not in the dock, of course) works just fine. Also, the device doesn't seem to detect that it is in a dock at all; I have it set to daydream when it's docked, but nothing happens.
Does anybody else have these issues? Is there a known or planned solution?
Thanks!

Hei just another quicky:
I had problems with twrp unable to mount /data on encrypted phone. I was never asked for passphrase also it did not detect data was formated as f2fs and assumed ext4.
After factory reset I reformated data and cache to f2fs again (as I think the performance gain is real) and cleanflashed latest cm12 nightly + gapps.
After setting up my phone it became slugish fast again, also battery did drain fast (also the phone did get real hot)
My circumvention so far is limiting Background processes to 2 within Dev options. Since then phone stays much cooler, everything works as expected normal cpu usage shows 2.5/3.2/3.5.
Before that phone was sometimes at 12/9/8 or so and thus bekame unresponsive/sluggish.
Does anyone know the standard count of background processes? Form Q?
Since i did not discover any strange behavior/lags since i switched to only 2 backgroundprocesses anyone knows what kind of usage could result in problems with lower backgroundprocesses?
Thanks in advance!

CM 12.0 nightlies I/O and issues
So I switched over to CM12 because of the ability to switch the filesystems to f2fs. And so far I have seen a pretty decent improvement in the response, speed, and general performance with CM12.
A few issues have come up though:
CM nightly 03232015
-the cLock widget just randomly stopped functioning. Worked for a day or two, then stopped working. I wasn't able to set the alarm and clicking on the time on the home screen does nothing. Disabled cLock and am using the default Deskclock instead (I need to be able to set alarms).
-the messaging app was not working correctly... I was able to receive texts but the send button was greyed out and would not let me click on it. This is both over Wi-Fi and 3G and 4G LTE. Had to revert to 8sms that I was using on CM10...
-the themes are applied inconsistently... not all apps or system dialogs are themed when I use ThemeDIY to create/apply my own theme.
-equalizer doesn't seem to make a big difference...
-doesn't seem to remember wifi logins... keep getting the "sign in to wireless network" notification (I've already signed in)... the sign in page does not open in Chrome, but rather a separate browser or system page that won't offer to save my password (though it does autofill the username)...
-weird issues using adb... even though I've authorized the computer, and have root access on the phone and am running adb root, it won't let me write to certain parts of the file system (I couldn't adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip error was "read-only filesystem")
I know it's a nightly, just wanted to see if anyone else has these same issues and to make sure the developers are seeing this. For the record, I did a wipe and format (since I was going to change the file system,) and this is a clean install of both TWRP and CM12.
Thanks!

I didn't know what to use either so I left it on NV. Haven't noticed a difference in signal or call quality or anything. I am guessing since we're on Sprint and there is no SIM card that RUIM/SIM won't work?

Im am currently running on NV too, but with german sim.
To the other problems you have, I don"t have those. Sms works. CLock works, alarms work... I am running without any themes just switched the stock trebuchet launcher to apex. I am also on f2fs.
I also would like to know the difference between NV and RUI/SIM, and which one should be preffered with simcard mod.

I can't speak to the RUI/SIM issue but I don't know how to switch themes off. As far as my SMS and cLocks idk it is possible that I disabled the wrong app I don't like to run more then the bare minimum. As for the theme I ended up downloading a dark theme from the app store which is wonderful looking!! It is called Nicholas' Dark Material. In case you're looking for dark like me.
Do you have issues with the gallery or camera? I think I saw somewhere on the xt897 forum a link to motorola's camera and gallery apps... are you able to change the save location for pictures or no?
I also had an issue where the navigation bar does not render right when I watch full screen video in landscape mode. May have to do with me forcing GPU render under developer options. I'd take it off but I can't remember how I got there lol

I cannot set the custom color for notifications in CM12... but there is a post that says the colors were retained on an upgrade from CM11. Well I wiped and did a clean install rather than an upgrade so is there an .xml file or a settings I can edit? I'm comfortable with file manager and editor and adb and shell...

CM 12 update
I have a simple question so if I am not asking it in the right place, I apologize.
If I do one of the CM12 updates (the nightlies) through the Update in the Settings Menu on my phone, does it wipe the phone? Or does it only update relevant system files and keep my apps and data??

If you only apply the update, it will not wipe the device. You would have to wipe it manually in recovery. It will apply a so-called "dirty flash" as you are not wiping any partitions.
CM12-->CM12, should be fine. Of course before you report any issues try a clean flash (or if it's a single app FC'ing, try clearing data on that single app).

I'm having tons of trouble using this with Sprint.
When I lock it to CDMA and/or EVDO mode, Logcat shows that it's trying to connect using a C Spire APN. If I lock it in LTE-only mode and select Sprint APN, it gets a good data connection. The APN menu is foolishly disabled for CDMA/EVDO so I cannot correct the issue. Why is it trying C Spire? How can I fix 3g and MMS settings to work?
CM11 worked great in all conditions, and MMS worked out of the box.

I'm trying to flash CM12 on a FreedomPop device and I'm getting the message "This package is for device: xt987,asanti_c; this device is asanti". I was able to flash CM11 from the nightlies page but no luck with CM12 nightlies nor with the CM12.1 that was posted here on XDA.
Any help to flash CM12 on this device? :good:

In the short term you can change the meta-inf file in the update.zip and change the assert line to allow asanti.
In the future, the CM maintainer probably needs to update the source to allow your device... odd that it worked in CM11 but not 12 tho.
Are you going from CM11 to CM12? Even if you clean flashed.

Thanks for the tip!
First I tried to flash CM12 directly but got the error. Then decided to try with CM11 and it worked so I hoped it would work to update to CM12 but got the same error again.
Just to double check I'm not doing it wrong, this is what I tried to flash:
CM12 (Failed): http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/107228/cm-12-20150417-NIGHTLY-xt897.zip
CM11 (Success): http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/100850/cm-11-20150216-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
What I understood by reading around is that for CM12 I should use the xt897 file even though it's differently named than the CM11 one (moto_msm_8960_jbbl).
Can you please confirm that I'm using the correct CM12 one?
Thanks

Yes, that's the correct one.
The CM maintainer clearly states the reasoning in the CM12 thread:
kabaldan said:
Please note:
In CM12, the Motorola 2012 msm8960 device line has been de-unified again, so moto_msm8960/moto_msm8960_jbbl builds are dead from now on.
Please check the xt897 device link for new Photon Q builds.

Adjusting the meta-inf to check for "asanti" instead of "asanti_c" worked perfectly. Thanks for your help!
Now I have to find out why after I flash gapps I start to get multiple crashes related to Google Services and Google Apps.
Edit: Well, just in case someone face the same problem in the future. I updated to the latest TWRP recovery directly from their webpage (initially I used Rashr app) and that solved all my problems, including the initial error when flashing CM12 nightly.

[LineageOS] List of bugs and things not working for the Official ROM

Download link https://download.lineageos.org/osprey
There is a need to maintain list of stuff not working in the nightlies, since some people have Osprey as their primary phone
The purpose of this post is for easy access to a list of bugs by both the developers and the end user
Feel free to add to the post
-mention the ROM version
-the bug
-and any other relevant information
List
version lineage-14.1-20170125-nightly
Bug : Cellular Data doesn't work after disconnecting from Wifi
Temporary Solution : Developer Options -> Cellular data always active
Bug : When music is played through headphones and charger is connected/disconnected sound is played via both the headphones and speakers. Also happens for Shutter Sound
Bug : Random Bluetooth Disconnections after long periods of bluetooth being connected
Solution : Disable Battery Optimization on all bluetooth related services
Bug: version: lineage-14.1-20170302 -lineage-14.1-20170309
Bug: Phone doesn't rescan new media such as Whatsapp images, downloaded images
Temporary Solution : Manually rescan media

Ideally it should be in the first post of the LOS thread in Original Android Dev. But if you manage to maintain it, it could be referenced.

Hey guys, my phone is stuck on "Checking for updates" and I am looking for a solution. If I install this rom will it fix my problem?
Is it as easy as downloading it, starting on bootloader and $ adb sideload thisthing.zip ?
All the help is highly appreciated, I am not interested in modding stuff or special apps, I just want my phone to run again. Thanks.

Are you on stock rom? A simple reboot should fix the problem. And if you could send screenshots that would be good

If by stock rom you mean the original and official rom then yes. I've rebooted a thousand times now, wiped data and cache another thousand times, recovery/reset another hundred times, and got adventurous to flash a rom via adb sideload but it complained about invalid signature or something. Still stuck on "checking for updates".
The screenshot is a blue screen with a yellow progress line telling me "Checking for updates" just after the welcome and wifi verification., just like this one but with a different label "Software Update - Checking for updates": http://www.androidpolice.com/wp-con...nexus2cee_screenshot_20161020-090044_1024.png

Hey, thanks for working on this. I'm trying to get away from Metro stock ROM, but the phone is my entire Internet connection so of course I need data Does that mean it's working for you in your local kit but not in what you uploaded? Either way, I tried manual network selection and it said "registering on MetroPCS" (or equivalent, that was last night so I don't recall precisely) for about 20-30 seconds, then it very briefly flashed a scarcely-readable error message, then bumped it with a message indicating it successfully joined. But I never get a 4G or any similar symbol in the status bar, or any data, so I wondered if there's something I can do, either to force it into submission or to help you out. Thanks again

Well maybe if you know how to fix Bluetooth then you wouldn't be complaining otherwise don't say its trash ask for help and see what can be resolved other then that I'm running it and the only thing that doesn't work is calling Bluetooth otherwise when Playing YouTube guess what it works . if you need help pm the person who posted it.

I'm on Moto e5 plus it's the same problem that exist in all the GSI ROMS that I flash on this phone plus I flashed all fixes posted

Ok, so did you go to all the others you tried and bash them aswell? Or just this one ? You haven't even stated what device your using, please be more specific.. hannah / nora / ???
as you stated all of them have this issue and unless your volunteering to fix it then dont knock it, for now thats just how it is until we get a fix.
The whole reason I made this and shared it was because others had this issue AND random reboots or other issues aswell.
I've been running this for a week now without any other issues.
for now the only option available is to put a bandaid on soundfx... I am personally using this method to have bluetooth audio (MEDIA) working (NOT CALLS!) = boot twrp , mount vendor , goto advanced ->> terminal and type the following
mv /vendor/lib/soundfx /vendor/lib/soundfx-backup
reboot
Still will experience some stuttered sounds while the screen is off, but other than that and no bluetooth calls everything seems to work fine.
If a real fix is presented I will post it. Until then...
Enjoy.... Or.. Dont Enjoy..

I'm probably gonna do the option (Don't Enjoy) because I rather have 100% stable rom!!!!! Then to deal with this Bluetooth BS. I rather stay on stock with all my mods installed to make it act an feel like rremix,lineage, bootleggers,etc
Thanks anyways!

[Treble GSI] [Umidigi One Max] GSI Experiments

Now that the Umidigi One Max has TWRP, it is now very easy to flash GSI ROMs.
I will try to keep track of different GSI that works (or not !) here, alongside with bugs. Testers are welcome !
I highly recommend GSI based off phhhuson's work, as he did great job to fix MTK issues. Some other GSI may work better. We definitely need testing !

Apparently it works as shown here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80319007&postcount=13 credits to @4ctiv_
9.0 Pie
phhusson's AOSP :
Everything works as expected. Notification bar is of the wrong size, may need to create a patch for it. Tethering doesn't work with data ON !
Camera is good ! All cameras are recognized. Fingerprint sensor OK. Torch not working under 15% like in stock, this seems like a hardware thing.
Ongoing calls and SMS will not work first boot. Just reboot and it'll work.
Magisk 19+ doesn't show root prompts. Fix here
Pixel Launcher crashes, but it seems that it's the only google app that doesn't work. Google Phone works.
NFC doesn't appear at all. There is a fix with magisk tho ! See here (NFC4PRA)
ctsProfile doesn't pass. Using MagiskHidePropsConfig fixes the issue, but choosing "vendor fingerprint" bootloops​

Do not hesitate to post what you find or your testing.
NOTE : Installing a GSI can be done via 3 methods : TWRP Image Flash, SP Flash Tool, or fastboot (needs unlocked bootloader)
For the first two methods, unlocked bootloader is not required ! TWRP can be flashed via SPFT aswell.
Enjoy your beautiful and modded phone

Make sure to check out my guide on installing GSIs at https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/umidigi-one-max-custom-rom-modding-t3942521/

I downloaded system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.xz, extracted the file, booted into TWRP, did a full wipe, and installed "image" system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.img. TWRP asks which partition to install it to. I selected "system". However, after install I go to reboot, and TWRP complains there is no OS. Am I missing something?
I did a complete backup in TWRP of all important partitions first (nvram, modem, system Etc.), so going back to my stock setup was not difficult. Those trying this, backup all important partitions from TWRP on to microsd!

For everyone, make sure you download AONLY images, not AB !

Now that the Umidigi One Max has TWRP, it is now very easy to flash GSI ROMs.
I will try to keep track of different GSI that works (or not !) here, alongside with bugs. Testers are welcome !
I highly recommend GSI based off phhhuson's work, as he did great job to fix MTK issues. Some other GSI may work better. We definitely need testing !
10 Q Beta
Beta 4 : Probably not working, as our device is not system-as-root (but is VNDK isolation compatible)
Still needs testing
9.0 Pie
phhusson's AOSP :
Everything works as expected. Notification bar is of the wrong size, may need to create a patch for it. Wifi access point doesn't work.
Camera is good ! All cameras are recognized. Fingerprint sensor OK. Torch not working under 15% like in stock, this seems like a hardware thing.
Ongoing calls and SMS will not work first boot. Just reboot and it'll work.
Magisk 19+ doesn't show root prompts. Fix here
Pixel Launcher crashes, but it seems that it's the only google app that doesn't work. Google Phone works.
ctsProfile doesn't pass. Using MagiskHidePropsConfig fixes the issue, but choosing "vendor fingerprint" bootloops​

I posted this in another forum, but for the life of me I do not know what is causing this issue. I installed RR rom located here:
https://get.resurrectionremix.com/?dir=gsi/
system-190120-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img
I also install, Gapps (pico), and Magisk.
It runs great, for the most part. However, if I start streaming a video from any app or start streaming music, after a short amount of time my Umidigi One Max:
A.) Announces, "Powering Down"
B.) Boots directly into TWRP
C.) If I reboot, it again boots directly into recovery. Almost as if the partition became corrupted.
D.) Try to recover a backup I made in twrp, reboot, again boots straight into recovery.
E.) If SP Flash can communicate with the phone, I can usually push all the stock images back to the phone. If not, I have to push the images via fastboot with my Ubuntu PC.
If I do any other CPU intensive task under a GSI ROM, it doesn't have this issue, only when I stream video. I haven't tried any games to see if it causes this behavior.
I have tried multiple GSI Roms located here too, same problem:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
I do not believe the device is overheating, it's usually around 32-34C from the TWRP menu at that point. I really like the RR Rom, but if I cannot figure out what is causing this, I'll have to stray away from GSI for now.
As a sidenote, this issue of the device suddenly powering down after starting to stream a video, does not happen with the stock ROM. I am kind of at a loss on this one.
Weirdest thing I have experienced running a custom ROM.

Yeah it happened to me sometimes as well... The phone goes straight into recovery and then never goes to system again. I haven't found the cause of it.

Did you try the NFC fix for the one pro (I got it from the umdigi forum one Pro and then the thread custom ROMs)

phhusson's AOSP is mostly good. But I noticed the wifi often gets disconnected and has performance issue too.

I don't get any performance issue. The only issues is that some ongoing calls doesn't come, and sometimes 4G totally glitches out. Other than that it's pretty much all.

@ _cab13_
i cant find the vendor folder in twrp in the mount section or in the file manager.
what have i done wrong? ok i started from scratch and then it worked porfectly
thx you for your work and help

Engineering mode access or work around
On the 9.0 ROM I cant seem to access engineering mode via the keypad, I need to sort the handset speaker out. Is there any other way to access it or some way of tweaking the voice settings through the shell?
Any help would be appreciated.

Please help

did you use the a only or ab image?

I've tried flashing multiple android 10 GSIs from the phhusson GSI wiki list.
I've tried phhusson's AOSP ROM, CAOS, Lineage 17.1 and POSP. It seems like they all freeze at the splash screen and get stuck loading forever (confirmed, I left it on all night last night). I've tried disabling force encryption, I've tried not installing magisk. Not really sure where to go from here with Android 10.
I've also tried Android 9 with much more success: it boots, it works, but the only thing I can't seem to get is NFC. Has anyone found a way to get NFC to work on any android version with this device? Or do I have to go back to stock android 8?
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat bro. I've just tried both the latest phhusson AOSP 10 ROM as well as an older version of the same ROM, and both time I get caught in a loop after install. Completely wiped beforehand, tried installing with and without Magisk/Disable-Force-Encryption. Going to have to bring it back down to Android 9. I wonder how 4ctiv_ got it working?

so first you have to no encryption then erase and format data
flash android 10 arm 64 a without gapps build (image) to system i use havoc 3.5 and everything exept nfc works
then install gapps (it failed for me so i had to resize system in twrp and install gapps again
last step is to flash the custom phhson magisk
then just reboot wihout wipping

Thank you so much for your work...
Hi, I'm a long time Android user and I used to code apps, if I can be of any help please let me know but I'm now disabled wheel chair user with dystonia so I find it extremely difficult to type now so I use voice to text... I really enjoy using the umidigi one max it has the storage and usability of a much more expensive phone, also functionally for me the wireless charging and NFC make my life so much easier as I find cables akward and payments at shops much easier.
I read about the Treble programmea while ago and recently read this article and if it is possible to get the NFC working on this update, I will be so greatful as it will extend the life of this great phone for me.
Good luck with your work and thank you in advance.
