Bluetooth calling on GSI sm-a530f

Hi all,
Last weekend I rooted my phone. I treble-ized it and tampered with a few GSIs. I finally chose to use PHHs Treble 9 GSI.
When I connected my phone to my car's Bluetooth I could call, but there was no sound. Is this a driver issue on my Vendor partition (ie did I use the wrong Vendor), or is this a general problem with GSI?

it wouldnt be a dirver since android doesnt use drivers, it would be in the bluetooth stack. likely caused by a failed flash of your ROM especially if other users arent having the same issue. What kind of car is it (assuming the deck is stock to the car)

Good to know it's only a problem what's occurring on my phone. That would mean flashing a different rom could solve the issue.
The car is a Punto EVO. I haven't tried any other Bluetooth devices, but I expect the same result.
I'll flash a new rom and report back. Thanks for replying.

yeah, reflash the same ROM or try a different one. Back in the day, there were tons of issues with stuff that was designed to work on the phone based on specific kernel programming that spoke to the hardware to allow these features to physically operate, but only in touchwiz based ROMs, AOSP based ROMs were left out in the cold. With the emergence of the necessity of a clean knox in order for certain things to work, i have given up on root for the time being so that i can enjoy the awesomeness that is paying for stuff with my watch (which requires an unrooted phone to work. Technically your phone can be rooted but it makes it a pain in the anus)
anyways, i think your audio issue might be a GSI specific thing, just a hunch tho. Might want to go look in the GSI threads and see if there is a list of what works/whats broke in the ROMs. They usually just come out and tell you if ti doesnt work because if its the other way around, the devs reputation will be tarnished

I flashed Lineage OS 16 (Android 9) GSI. Same problem. Also with other Bluetooth devices. I'm thinking it's the vendor I flashed. I did find an Oreo vendor for this device mentioning Bluetooth calls don't work.
Searched for a rom without Treble but couldn't find one that has December security (or November). For now I'll use my earbuds when calling from the car.
I could flash a number of images, but don't really want to the time of finding the perfect rom for my devices has passed. I'll just keep this rom and when I feel like it, I'll flash the stock rom.
Thanks anyways for the advice!

Working GSI ROMs on Mi Note 10 Lite / toco

As the title says, here's a list of some GSI's i have tested so far... but first for some story.
Bought the phone in summer, it's quite nice but has its own issues like no kernel source BUT since we can unlock the device and actually play around, oh boy it has been fun.
On the course of few hours and many downloads later I have a small list of GSI's that worked!
Every GSI I have mentioned REQUIRE device specific patch(es)!!!
For that you have to root.
----------------------WORKING GSI's-------------------------
BlissROM - It boots and functions quite fast
Cons: no included Gapps
Flashing any system editing patch results in "Phone is booting" homescreen.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/treblerom/files/BLESS/2020.09.21/
3.5 jack, VoLTE, Bluetooth, ComboFix patches are required, flash with Magisk manager
DO NOT USE FixLagSmooth
HavocOS 3.7 and 3.6 - Work and can be daily driven
3.6 requires FixLagSmooth patch
MUST root and apply all linked patches (don't use FixLagSmooth on 3.7, you can but no need)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...rom-how-to-install-android-10-gsi-mi-t4126223
AOSP Android 10 based - Also does work and requires patching
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...rom-how-to-install-android-10-gsi-mi-t4126223
HydrogenOS Android 10 - Works
Has few bugs
No Google services
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/HydrogenOS/
----------------------COMMUNITY REPORTED GSI's-------------------------
Android 11 GSI - Reported to be functional by HumptyPotato47, thanks mate!
No Gapps as of now NikGapps exist for Android 11, search XDA for it!
Requires more testing...
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v300.f
----------------------MAYBE WORKING GSI's-------------------------
OxygenOS 10 GSI - Seems to work.. sorta
First boot after exiting fastboot causes the phone to reboot
Second boot will loop
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/OxygenOS/
----------------------NON FUNCTIONAL GSI's-------------------------
You tell me
...I did find a very nice list of GSI ROMs to try out more, here's the link:
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
----------------------FLASHING GSI-------------------------
If you test one then don't hesitate with replying which one, about the experience, bugs and how you installed it.
My method of installing was this:
1. Make sure to have the new adb commandline that supports fastbootd mode
2. Drop the GSI .img file in /adb directory for ease
3. Make sure you're running MIUI with unlocked bootloader and USB debugging enabled
3.5 MAKE SURE you get a GSI ROM with Gapps as existing TWRP isn't fully functional
4. GSI you should have must be AB partition!!!​
Once all set then follow the next commands
>adb reboot bootloader
>fastboot -w
>fastboot reboot fastboot
>fastboot erase system
>fastboot flash system "GSI-ROM-name-without-quotes".img
>fastboot reboot bootloader
>fastboot reboot​
----------------------SETTING UP GSI-------------------------
Once all that is complete it should boot, if not then that specific GSI does not work.
Also a thing worth mentioning! Whenever I boot this phone to fastbootd Windows keeps forgetting what driver it was which requires
few extra clicks in device manager to set it up for fastbootd use. Including an image with simple to follow instructions if you have the same issue.
>fastboot boot twrp.img
Once in TWRP you should be able to access internal storage with your computer, drag Magisk.zip over and flash. Don't forget to wipe cache!
If it boots normally then root was successful, now apply the linked patch and reboot once again. Since we are playing with GSI:
Head to Settings
Find Phh Treble Settings
Misc features
Check Disable audio effect. -- DISABLE IT AFTER PATCHING!!!​
IMPORTANT!!! I only tested Havoc and Bliss for a long period, IF one of my mentioned GSI's or others require more patches then I have linked headphone jack and Bluetooth audio patches too.
Combo fix should do the trick thought so your mileage may vary.
----------------------HELP US-------------------------
IF you find more working GSI's then tell us and I will make sure to add them to the main post so it won't get clogged under other comments!

Update on 05.10.2020 GMT+3
Bliss ROM GSI
As only a day or two have passed I already encountered few issues.
> You cannot remove screenshot sounds, even when fully muted
> Data drain is something interesting I've noticed, consumption compared to MIUI is higher.
> When using the gesture navigation it is a bit buggy when using quick side swipe for multitasking.
Positive notes!
> It is stupid fast
> Battery life is good
> GCam is amazing
> 99% of the customization options work perfectly
> Fast charging modes and such work perfectly
Neutral stuff...
> No FOD, thanks for closed source
> whenever you take a picture or a screenshot and have Blutetooth audio connected, it pauses and plays out loud via speaker. No music leaks out

this phone is born dead, no developer cares about it.

Havoc OS and Bliss ROM are both quite stable, albeit with Bliss you don't get Gapps which is a huge bummer to most users.
Personally I just installed MicroG services and use Aurora store with anonymous "account".
When I tried to flash Gapps with TWRP I ended up soft bricking ROM so it was required to restore stock and try again. Of course there's no need if you can still use fastbootd.

Should i send this phone back to Amazon?
Seriously, last night i bought it, thinking about to install some custom rom, but if there are no developers caring of it, i might returb the phone to the seller...

IMO MIUI EU is better then GSI roms. Everything works. Got rid of most chinese crap. You can use Magisk.
Have nice features (MIUI in general). The only thing i dont like -mine turns on WIFI byitself dotn know how it happens... but it happens when i sleep. china collecting logs?

Literally the main reason I made this post is to help others who are interested to use GSI ROM's on their devices. I do agree that MIUI has some decent features and I did use Xiaomu.eu before but it was so buggy. In the end I love customizing the device however I like it so MIUI is just not for me. Either way I might try to negotiate with Amazon to get a refund as touch and Bluetooth problems still persist. Fun fact, on Bliss the edge detection is pretty good and not as aggressive or straight out bad.

Actually there are plenty of people ready to build ROMs for Toco (Mi Note 10 Lite) and Tucana (Mi Note 10) but there just isn't any kernel source available. Making things worse is the cancelled release of Toco in India and we know that they are one of the biggest Android ROM builders next to Russians. No one there is gonna import a device like this because better phones for money exist. If you don't like it then yeah I recommend returning otherwise give GSI a try for now and see what happens.
You won't lose warranty as there is no E-fuse like on Samsung phones so locking bootloader and flashing back to stock is enough.

Is anyone try oos gsi ?

The mentioned Mi Note 10 Lite for India was supposed to be called Mi 10i or something like that. It quickly disappeared and is not happening.
Of course I might be wrong by this date but looking for now there is no 10i, only speculation videos and threads.
Mi Note 10 Lite for India would've been code named "tocoin", same hardware and everything else so just a rebadge in old Xiaomi fashion... :laugh:

Hello, I am currently using Xiaomi.eu based on MIUI 12 and I would like to know how to flash HAVOC OS GSI. Should I flash back to Global Rom then flash the GSI as indicated? Answer is greatly appreciated.

[ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] Lineage OS 17.1 | Unihertz Jelly 2

roms - Google Drive

Probably, you have faced some issues during flashing the ROM. Please flash your Jelly2 back to stock ROM using SP Flash Tool and try again.

I have been using this ROM for couple of weeks now, it seems solid - didn't crash or had any issues.
The battery life however is very bad. I am using Magisk ACC module to limit the charge to 70% and it dropped from 70% to 34~37% within 8-ish hours (while I am asleep) consistently with all radios off (with regular cell network on for calls and texts, LTE off). The stock ROM used to drop at most 3% while I am asleep.
I think the stock ROM has aggressive app kill/ background process limit. I am going to try with those options enabled (in developer options) to see if there's going to be an improvement.
If anyone had issues like the above and has a conf, do let me know, thanks!
Edit: Forgot to mention that I also use AccuBattery and Greenify. Greenify is set to kill all user apps except for Magisk and AccuBattery.

I have the EU Version of Jelly 2, and yet it seems to work fine
Thank you very much for your efforts.
If i find any bugs ill report them

Thank you for your feedback. Probably, I won't fix the bugs in LOS 17.1, cause now I'm working on LOS 18.1 (based on Android 11) .
You can try it by this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kG8ebEf-GZW_AZ_d42HuxHHmHv0sQDl5/view?usp=sharing
Please note that I'm trying to keep this ROM as clean as possible, so currently it does not contain any proprietary Mediatek or Unihertz binaries (except vendor image, of course ). It means, that ROM does not include FM Radio or IMS. AFAIK, VoLTE is barely supported in Ukraine (yes, I live here ), so this feature is not really necessary for me. But I'll try to get those features working in future, just to have fully functional Jelly 2.
What's tested and working:
Voice Call
SMS
WiFi
Bluetooth
Wired headset
NFC (it reads and emulates tags, GPay doesn't work because of SafetyNet, but I think I can bypass it)
IR remote control (I tested with ZaZa remote software)

How many times have I tried to install LOS 17.1 it did not work,

Thank you good man.

Would it help for you to have someone test VoLTE (and possibly WiFi calling?)
I'm considering picking one of these up and was just assesing what the community is behind it for custom ROMs. I had the original Jelly and the ROM community for that was very limited, and I was in over my head when trying to build it for myself. I would be glad to help however if you think you'll be using the device for a while

Hey, as far as i tested everything works for me.
There is one thing i noticed:
When booting, Lineage OS tells that the Build has been signed with Public Key, this seems to be a bit of a security issue. Is it possible to resolve that for the LOS 18 version. (Is that testable yet?)
Im fine with not having VoLTE, i think no Custom Rom is able to support it yet and it will just get important when the 3G network will be disabled...
Also if you need more help for testing specific stuff, i can do it.

@Meetoul I installed the LineageOs 18 now which seems to be fine too.
2 Warnings appear after boot. Again the one with the public key, and a new one: "Serial Console active"

My apologies for cross posting. But I initially replied in the wrong topic.
I just received my Jelly 2. It was on 2020 and I went straight through your files. Your TWRP does not respond on my European Jelly 2. And after a first reboot to recovery, TWRP was gone. What I mean with not responding is that the touch screen does not respond. But I connected an USB trackball to use as an input device and switched cables in between adb sideloads. So I finally got it working.
For some reason during reboot TWRP warns me that there is no OS installed. But LoS 18.1 (yours) booted fine. Also flashed opengapps 2707 nano.
After a reboot (phone is still restoring apps) there is a "serial console is enabled" message "performance is impacted, check bootloader". Any instructions on how to get rid of that message? Other than that so far so good.

Touch in recovery
Have you tried the latest release which includes fixes for both available touch panes (at least for TEE Jelly2)? If yes and it doesn't work anyway, could you please provide dmesg output from recovery and from normal boot? Output of dmesg should be collected as soon as ADB available. Also, please collect kallsyms using the following steps:
Code:
adb root
adb shell
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
sysctl -w kernel.randomize_va_space=0
cat /proc/kallsyms >/sdcard/symbl.txt
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/symbl.txt
Annoying "Serial console is enabled" notification
You can just long press on the notification and disable notifications from Development Settings.

Thanks, this 'latest' release works! I am curious though, why do I get the message that there is no OS installed when I reboot from recovery? Or is that gonna be a long as reply .Also a few mount errors during flashing and reboot. But, my phone works for 99%.
Only thing not working in my banking app is the fingerprint sensor, also in the Ebay app (which I use once a year). Do you know why this is? Amazon video, Ziggo streaming app, even my banking app works. Fingerprint to unlock the phone also works. Just not in apps. Is this due to it being unlocked?
I come from a qx1000/Pro1 with LoS 18.1 which died on me Wednesday night. That's why I'm asking. That thing was also unlocked, but no error messages there. Also the Corona check app states that the J2 is rooted (which it isn't). Exactly the same configuration as my Pro1. But no warnings on that phone.
Not real complaints, just thought I'd share. This will be my daily driver for the next few months. So if you need a heavy tester, I'm your man.
@Meetoul
The battery drains in 24 hours, is this normal? I can't find any apps draining it. Could the enabled serial console be the culprit?
Edit2:
Hotspot not working for me. It connects but does not provide an IP address to clients. I tried several stock Android devices, without success. All four devices connect, but keep waiting for an IP address.
So now I'm typing this via Bluetooth sharing, which sucks I can tell you.
If you have any suggestions, I am more than willing to try them out...

TWRP 3.6.0-11

Here a updated recovery.
All credit goes to @UnlockLG
TWRP 3.6.0-11_v60.img.7z
drive.google.com

Twrp touch input doesnt work for the verizon v60. but you can still use keyboard and mouse.

Tried on V600TM. Twrp touch DOES work on this firmware. Cannot backup data though, even after formatting:
Can not create '/data/media/0/TWRP' folder (Required key not available).
Edit: turns out the v60 encrypts /dev/media even if there's no login password. After trying to backup to SD card instead I'm now getting extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255
Edit 2: After trying a few things, it appears the issue is with TWRP not asking for a password. Manually running twrp decrypt <PASSWORD> always says the password is incorrect. Removing screen lock and using default_password does not work.

How to install?
Edit: installed with fastboot
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img
Fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img
To enter twrp power off phone
Hold volume down and power until v60 screen appears

yes it should work no issues, but if you wanna make a full working home instead of a demo phone install CA open firmware via LGup and have to follow guide to the letter.

I starting to doubt there will ever be any custom roms for any phones now that GSI is mostly compatible with alot of devices just do your research for GSI roms if the devices started with anrdoid 8.0 then is most likely is compatible use the treable apk to make sure.

Tell me one a12 gsi rom that is actually working with this phone???

Have you flashed the latest official a12 gsi? I have it up and running. Its super fast and has sound, bluetooth and everything seems to be running find except for the phone app. The included dialer doesn't seem to work but google dialer from play store does. That being said, the fly in the ointment is that there's no sound on the call. Been trying it on various customer service 800 numbers and can see that the call is connected and logging time but no freaking sound.

No im strictly staying with A10. I had one gsi that worked but no audio via usb to hdmi which is a deal breaker since this is only for gaming

Anybody foud a fix for the no functioning touchscreen? i wanna try flashing this one but im not sure if mine will have a functioning touchscreen

Based on the minimal interest in this thread I guess there is something wrong with the TWRP. What it misses at the moment? Just the touchscreen support? Apart of this is it already stable? Is it still being developed or abandoned for some reason (no posts here for over a month)?

I've kinda dropped mine because android 11 has so many software bugs it makes it too annoying to bother with. My twrp seemed to be stable except when in the custom recovery screen I didn't have touch support but I was still able to plug a mouse in and work around it. I also wasn't able to get system write access a member was helping me but I think he got busy and hasn't responded in a while.

touchscreen is there, its just weird when rebooting directly into it. You have to do the "button dance" when the phone is off to have full touch support
This is for the V30 but its the exact same method

I'd certainly like to see someone build a case as to why twrp is relevant anymore? I installed it on my v60am only to see it create more problems than is solved. I can do everything with qfil at the partition level and the rest with adb/fastboot n fastbootdd. I for one don't believe that there will be any v60 specific roms for any of various models going forward. There's just not that many v60s out there. Treble is here both with a12 and a13. The only question is; can/will someone fix the qdaq, multi-screen and hidden menu problems (presently on a gsi rom you have no access to *#546346##600#). Were those to be solved It would off to the races.
Imho TWRP is dead, at least on the v60.

I tried flashing a zip and got error that the unzip is missing. Seems some versions where missing unzip and it was fixed on later versions.
Code:
Installing zip file '/data/unencrypted/systemrw_twrp .zip
Welcome to systemRW Installer v1.05
Installing systemRW v1.32 by lebigmac
Extracting /data/unencrypted/systemrw_twrp.zip to: / data/local/tmp/systemгw 1.32/
There was an error extracting the file. Please install unzip and try again
Updater process ended with ERROR: 255
Error Installing zip file '/data/unencrypted/system_twrp.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
Can @UnlockLG upload a newer version or give some details on building the twrp image so I can try.

is another version of TWRP available?

Is this TWRP working with A12?

Ressurection Remix on A8

Hello everyone,
I am creating this post because I would like to know if someone has already installed Ressurection Remix on a Galaxy A8 ?
I saw some tutorials that are explaining this is possible,but when I go to the Ressurection Remix official download page, I cannot find which file is specific to the galaxy A8. Actually, I have some difficulties to understand the files names : Raphael, Sakura, Jason,... Are theses names code names for différents phones ?
I may add that the bootloader of my phone is unlocked, and I am using TWRP to flash zip files.
I didn't treblelize my phone thought.
If you have some other custom rom suggestions, please do not hesitate to advise me.

You can install RR through GSI, by this link
You will have to trebelize your device
Because it's a gsi android 10, you can use vendor quack
Treble Guide
Vendor Quack

Thanks for your reply. Yes I saw that it was possible to treblelize the phone, to install other rom like the very famous lineage os.
But I am little bit hesitant about this procedure : is everything working well with the phone after a treblelization ? Has anyone tried this method?

Treblizing the phone itself does not cause any problem rather it enables you to install different GSIs. Regarding GSIs, each have there own bugs and you have to find them on the GSI thread if available or if they have telegram or github support.

Hey, just made an account to respond to this as I just discovered there are per-device pages on these forums and saw this post, I have done exactly that and been running it for 2+ years now, so far I have had no majour problems wih it, the only majour caviat is that after trebblimg it and installing resurrection remix It seems to freeze when trying to display the charging animation if the phone is off and it plugged in, it still charges without any problems, tho to boot it when in this situation you need to force shut it down using the volume_down + lock buttons and then immidiately after use volume_up + lock buttons to boot into recovery, then you can boot to the normal system from there, I have a TWRP recovery but I think the stock one also allows to resume booting the normal system.
In these last months I had a few weird bugs like the screen brightness beeing locked to automatic but that went away after a reboot and only happened 1 time.
I also installed magisk and a few other small tweaks and things and everything works great, also all resurrection remix customization options.
Actually in the last few months something broke because the safetynet checks fail for the ctsProfile, (most apps like my banking app tho still work fine by using magisk hide (i think it's because the safetynet basicIntegrity check still succeds) and the update page seems also broken (tho no idea about when this broke exactly as I haven't checked it in years), everything else is still fine tho, I might try re-flashing it to update to the new majour resurrection remix when i have time and the will to backup and move everything, something could have corrupted or maybe an update broke it, no idea.
My phone reports resurrection remix 7.0.2 and Android 9.
Hope this is still helpful.
