Hello,
ROM 3.05
Dr web found 2 viruses.
1 / System / priv-app / securityService / SecurityService.apk.
2 / System / priv-app / securityService / SecurityService.odex.

Hello, hyperion70,
Thank you for your work and that of the contributors.
Good weekend.

Hello,
Tested ROM RR. (I'm not a specialist)
Location impossible for France, so the menus remain in English for me. Location proposed: USA.
The installation is very fast and for navigation it is much more fluid.
GPS: Ok
The management of the battery seemed to me better.
For the rest of the ROM, it's really better at all points of view.

Hello hyperion70,
This is not a problem, it forces me to do a job on my English ..... and there is work .... I kept the phone in English yesterday and today I am ironed In original ROM. This allowed me to familiarize myself with the intricacies of TWRP and Root and it is very good for the neophyte that I am. I will wait for the new version of RR, thank you for the photos (here and on 4PDA) in any case, this simplifies the understanding.
Good week-end.

Hello, hyperion70, thank you so much for these wonderful roms. They both run very, very well.
Is it possible to activate double tap to wake up off display as in stock rom?
Thank you again

Not yet.
Resurrection Remix update.

Hello hyperion70,
Thanks a lot again, faster .... this is going to be difficult.
Have a good day.

Hello everyone,
Installation with TWRP as recommended by hyperion70.
Installation: no problem
GPS, Wifi, etc ... no problem
Battery: no problem
Question:
1 / Can we make sure that the bottom bar fades and returns when you want? As in the Leagoo ROM.
I found only: displayed / not displayed
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I reply to myself.
Parameters / RR-OS / Interface / Extended Desktop setting ON.
The bar appears when you need it and disappears after a few moments.
Have a good day.

Good evening,
2 problems:
1 / After installation this morning and normal use (for me), the battery is discharged much before (about 20%), I saw that Magisk could pose a problem, I deleted.
I want to know about the result.
2 / Battery charging.
A / Phone on: the screen goes off (1 mn for me) and it continues to charge without worries.
B / Telephone off: the screen darkens, the battery is displayed for the first time (searching), the battery appears a second time and the white bars show the progress of the charging.
The screen seems to go out BUT does not go out completely .... in a dark room you can see a luminous hallo on the whole screen.
I do not have a solution. Am I the only one?
The temperature is normal.
As I do a discharge test this night, no battery charging before tomorrow.

based in the us here. i have an m8 pro.
i've tried the stock freeme os roms, and the 7 nougat rom that's floating around.
the issue i have with the stock rom is freeme os.
it's got a horrendously annoying desktop interface. for example, you cannot just have a blank desktop, you have to keep at least one icon on it or it will disappear.
you can't get rid of the search bar.
cant stack icons on the bottom above the soft buttons. you can, but it's retarded.
that's all i've found so far that i'd rather not live with.
as for 7, the rom i used has this annoying 4g lte boot animation with a ringing noise, seems unnecessary considering after i rooted it and
installed another boot animation all it did was install on top of it and the ringing was still there. so basically, it didn't work.
but worse of all, the soft buttons disappear after a few moments of use, or randomly. the'yre just gone, and you can't get them back.
nobody seems to be talking about it, which i find hard to understand. is it only happening to me?
this is extremely frustrating as 7 was my only hope of getting away from freeme, unless there's a way to uninstall it.
i tried that, but that resulted in being stuck in some super minimal emergency shell, couldn't get it back. even tried reinstalling freeme launcher in play
on my box but that didn't work either.
so i'm back on 6 running twrp & rooted for now, until anything hopefully changes os wise.
i understand the phone is still new and i'm somewhat in no mans land, but i mean it has been out for a little bit now.
anyway, even after all this perhaps the worst problem of all is activating the ****ing thing on a network here.
it's great that we have these phones, but wtf? nowhere is there any information for how to activate them with a sim card nor can i find any 4g carriers that recognize
the imei. basically, wtf is the point of even having it if the aforementioned issues persist?

Hello everyone,
Battery: ROM RR update without Magisk loss of charge in 11:00 (night without doing anything) 48%.
That's a lot and it's not the Magisk program the cause.
ROM Freeme for the same period about 20%.

Try flashing the Lineage or RR rom by Hyperion70 and see how that works.

Hello Palm Trees,
I charge the battery (48%) and I post the results.

Hello,
There is obviously a problem, telephone extinguished, the screen does not completely shut down, in 1h30 only 21% more charge. With the ROM 3.05 at the same time I was charging about 45%.
Loading:
Charging:
Telephone On: 20% in 22 mn
Telephone Off: 21% in 1h30

[ROM] [Experimental] [LineageOS 15.1] [8.1] [Build 2018-07-05] [Oppo R7f]

First off, huge thanks to all the LineageOS developers. Specially MikeNG for his continuous work on OPPO devices.
Lineage 15.1 is finally here!
Device(s) Supported:
R7f *ONLY*
Don't flash this rom to any other R7 variant
What's working:
* Boot (Much better than not booting obviously)
* RIL (Calls,Text,Data)
* WiFi
* Bluetooth
* Camera
* Audio
* Sensors
* Flashlight
* Notification LED
What's not working:
* Double tap screen to lock/unlock. Unlock not working
From Stock (ColorOS) Installation:
*Charge battery near full, DISCONNECT usb cable
Having the USB cable connected in this process causes hard to get out of bootloop after installation
1. Boot phone in fastboot mode: Press and hold both Power + Volume Up buttons.
2. Unlock boot loader with command: fastboot oem unlock
3. Flash recovery with command: fastboot flash recovery name.recovery.img
4. Reboot phone into recovery mode using command "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press and hold Volume Down button.
5. Full wipe of device. Place ROM and Gapps on external SDcard or use ADB to transfer them to the (now wiped) internal Data partition.
6. Install ROM and GApps.
7. Reboot phone and wait (first boot will take quite a bit of time)
* If you don't have any previous experience with rooting, custom roms & recoveries. Please follow the more 'newbie' friendly in-depth tutorials
XDA forums has plenty of well done easy to follow tutorials!
From Lineage 14.1 :
*Charge battery near full, DISCONNECT USB cable before reboot into recovery
Having the USB cable connected in this process causes a hard to get out of bootloop after installation
*Make sure you have the latest TWRP recovery installed before continuing
1. Wipe device, perform a clean install
Downloads :
[ROM] Unofficial R7f LineageOS 15.1
Archive must be unpacked! Contains flash-able zip & md5 checksum
[Gapps -> ARM -> 8.1]
*Don't select the Aroma variant. TWRP doesn't like it
[TWRP Recovery for R7f] (twrp-3.2.2-0)
NOTES:
*This is bat country! You are on your own when something goes bad, I can't help you in case of bricked device
*Precaution: Charge battery atleast 80%
*Advisable: Make Nandroid backup before flashing
*Precaution: Due to a weird device specific bug
Don't (re)boot into Recovery nor flash the R7 with the USB cable still attached. Could result in a bootloop which is rather hard to get out off
Bootloop trick: When finally powered off, leave the device off for at least a hour Take a walk or something!
No idea why but this seems to do the trick, after a prolonged period of being turned off, it boots normally into LineageOS
And will continue to reboot just fine! Maybe disconnect usb cable before rebooting out of precausion tho

Great work once again!
I assume this will be without the "project tremble" hardware separation layer introduced in Android Oreo, no?
With the differences in Android versions compared to stock, I do start to wonder, what are the drawbacks with this ROM? I mean in terms of performance, size, etc. Do you know of any?

Thank you!
Concerning Tremble, can't have 8.1 without but seems to be using legacy & updated vendor blobs.
Not sure what you mean with "stock" Stock AOSP 8.1 builds or the stock ColorOS?
Compared to stock ColorOS 4.4. too many differences to name. Compared to AOSP, I'd suggest reading into LineageOS features
Drawbacks to using this rom I can't think of one. Till now everything seems to be working just fine
Performance seems to be great, Battery life seems better than LineageOS 14.1 and concerning size it's smaller than stock ColorOS

I believe tremble is mandatory for new phones and optional for existing that update to 8.1.
You would have known you are using Tremble if you are the one who created the port for this phone.
I don't believe you can just use existing blobs for a change like that and it would require help from Oppo, who had never offered even the slightest for our phone.
I meant Lineage OS 15.1 compared to stock Oppo/ColorOS. I know the differences OS/functionality wise. With such a big jump I would have expected at least performance issues since non of the blobs have been touched anymore. Decreased compatibility seems likely to me in such a case.
Good to hear you do not experience this.
I am hesitant to take the risk using this ROM though. For the same reasons mentioned above.
Have you been using the phone in real life without (too many) glitches for a bit by now?

I really hope
I already test this rom.
It's really good.
I found the bug
1. Charging slow. Take 1 hour 45 mnite to full
2. Double tap to wake not work
I'm back to your previous rom 14.1
In Los 14.1 your build. Fast charging like vooc dan double tap to wake work.
Can u fix it?
Thanks somuch for great work.

Both work fine in this 15.1 build
VOOC charging, and double tap @ statusbar/lockscreen
Must be something on your end. did you perform a clean install?
Wipe system,data,cache dalvik etc
But out of precaution I'll test it further in the coming days. More charging and more tapping on my screen

Concerning your last question
Haven't turned my phone off since 7-5 while running this 15.1 build
Works great so far. Haven't found issues/glitches as of yet. No weird things happening with my daily usage thus far

Ah indeed, the waking up using double tab isn't working atm.
I will look into that. The 15.1 build is perfectly usable otherwise.
But yeah you can roll back to 14.1 in the meantime if you really need the double tap option

The charging time should not be impacted in any way as it is hardware based. Unless a ROM or app is using extreme resources while charging, draining the battery at the same time you are charging it, charging times should be the same in both 14.1 and 15.1.
Please double check if it has really changed.

Ok, thank you. I have returned to los 14.1. how to fix or replace double tap to wake to work? I want to try again. I will check it again

Wow amazing work!
I have checked that charging times are the same as los 14.1 as opposed to claims by Ravhinzy.
However, the issue of double tap to unlock is also present for all other screen off gestures (drawing O, M, V etc. when screen is off). Other than that, the roms seems stable enough. (so are u planning to make r7f rom official on lineage os?)
In any case, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing this rom!

Yeah I can't replicate the charging issue as well. I have 2 R7f's laying around.
VOOC is working fine on both of them with my 15.1 build. Drained them both multiple times and recharged.
Still haven't figured out what the deal is with tap 2 wake.
The r7f will never get official lineageOS builds sadly because of the weird USB-attached on (re)boot bootloop bug

The link for the OS takes me to something called mega.nz but nothing loads, then it times out.

New release, tape 2 wake should be functioning correctly now (I have tested it)

GSI images tested with POCO

I've tested 3 GSI images with my phone last weekend, here are the results:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PixelExperience: https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/treble-pixel-experience-9-0-t3839681
or here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...ce-development/9-0-pixelexperience-p-t3833294
- Everything work well
- Feel faster than stock, no mi nonsense
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound: OK
- Camera: work
- Bug: NO DARK MODE, it went black, and never come back.
- Ugly: the notification bar is not so compatible with curve screen, the clock and battery percentage almost got cut-off
- I might do something wrong, but my bank app said the phone is rooted. So, I have to flash stock back.
2. LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/9-0-lineage-os-16-0-t3840801
- There is this "privacy protection" error pop-up all the time
- Booted, run smooth
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound and camera work.
- LineageOS handles the top and bottom curve better than PixelExp, the notification bar look better
- Some setting features were not working and follow with error, but the phone still work normally after error message
- I really hope the Lineage team get it work really soon. :good:
3. HavocOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-device-development/rom-havoc-os-8-1-t3819050
- Bootloop...end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. With adb tool, flash system image (I've tried to flash PixelExp system image with TWRP, and got to bootloop, so I've changed to flash with adb command)
4. With TWRP flash decrypt
5. With TWRP wipe cache/dalvick
5. With TWRP format data
6. With TWRP flash decrypt again
Is there any way to flash PixelExperience without root?
PS. When I wrote that the camera work: I mean it works you can take a picture with both front and back cameras, but I didn't compare the picture quality at all.

Just tested Aosp Extended and I'll take the template you posted in the OP so it's easier for you.
AEX post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...device-development/rom-aosp-extended-t3821934
- Rebooted itself a few times during the first boot.
- Felt sluggish during the first minutes, but then everything went smooth as butter.
- Wifi and data work fine
- Sound: OK
- Camera: work, but worse quality than stock
- Bug: NO DARK MODE, it went black, and never come back. In order to fix this you need to reflash the image
- Ugly: the notification bar is not so compatible with curve screen, the clock and battery percentage almost got cut-off. However you can almost fix it changing the display size, not a perfect fix but better than stock.
I'll be going to MIUI stock again, even though I hate it

Thanks for your feedback, you will save us a lot of time!
So, so far, you haven't found any GSI that handle completely properly the notch and curves of our screen?

I dont have any cut off on pixel experience after couple of reboots

For me, the time and battery percentage are closer to the edge than yours.
Also, is it root? Can we flash without root?
Thanks.

I, personally don't have any preferred template.
It seems as if the AEX is more or less on par with the PixelEx.
Can you manage to flash it without root?
I can live with a bit ugly notification and some minor bug, but I need to use the bank app. So I want to flash it without root.

I tested RR v6.1 GSI and it works with 2 intolerable bugs.
1, 3.5mm headphone not works. Speaker still works when haedphone plug in.
2, since the notch removed by command 'wm size 1080x2074' (result:here), screenshots will add black frame on the top and bottom, and the original contents(1080x2274) are zipped into 1080x1902, so it looks a liitle strange
RR GSI post: gsi-resurrection-remix-o-6-1-0-t3811299
Flashed arm64 a only 0818 version.
- root(magisk 17.1) and xposed v90 beta3 work.
- Wifi and data(CMCC) work
- Sound: both speakers work
- Camera: work
- Bug: headphone not work , screenshot problem
although i hate MIUI , i have to return to it . i need 3.5mm. looking foward to lineage 15.1 or aosp, etc.

I'm not sure why everyone is so eager to test these GSI builds when they don't actually work 100% as stable.
LOS 15.1 development already in progress and I've been watching it, everything is looking good so far ( including camera, dual 4g/volte). Just give the devs sometime for the release.

I could answer that...easily...maybe
I hate MIUI.
I hate ads full rom.
I have high hope for the project treble, it's a good starting point for generic device rom.
I don't know about your development of the lineageos, this is the first post I saw this information.
Also, it's fun to try something, even not perfect, it's still fun to mess around.

Thanks once again.

Tried 9.0 roms
1 Treblized os: very smooth and stable VOLTE problem.
2 Pixel experience: Smooth but thermal throttling is broken hearts up quite bit.
3 lineage os: doens't look as good as PE and yeah no VOLTE is any GSI 9 or 8.1
4 Arrow os: The best of all. Fast snappy.
5 Havoc os: Bootloop tried everything.
Tried 8.1 roms:
1 Arrow os: The best I must say. PUBG experience is great the touch is really snappy and accurate for some reason.
2 RR official: Has some weird issue maybe sound don't remember.
3RR unofficial: there were 2 unofficial builds one booted fine and the other got Bootloop. Sound was good in unofficial and boot animation is better.
4 Aquarius os: Simple and good.
5 Dot os: well I've tried this GSI on my OP5T it was amazing but in Poco it doesn't feel as stable as others.
After trying all these GSI roms the best stable snappy and thermal friendly ROM was 8.1 and 9 Arrow os.
Like if I helped you.

Wow, arrow os was not on my tested list. :good:
Need to try it asap.
Just question: can I flash it without root status?

Well I'm not sure because I flashed root on every GSI because my device feels uncomplete without it but I'm sure you won't have any problem with no root and yeah in some GSI roms we have option to download with gapps/su/ or vanilla
Edit:
I needed root access because I used this universal notch fix
Go to terminal give root access and type
"wm overscan 0,90,0,0" this completely pushes the notification panel below the notch and fits perfectly!

2 Questions
1. I didn't intend to flash root, but when I flashed the "Encryption disabler" (that every guides suggest to flash, see attached), it became root itself. Can I not flash it?
2. Do I need to fix the notch in ArrowOS, is it not detect and adjust by itself?

1. The encryption disabler is only for MIUI roms because it encrypts your data on first boot but GSI roms don't encrypt your data so you can skip flashing that after flashing GSI
2. Only Pie roms have the ability to adjust to notch currently this feature is not available in 8.1 roms so it'll look weird.

The notch situation is a bit better in Lineage 9.0.
In every ROM, ir unlock doesn't work (as expected), and volte doesn't work (expected?!).
All cameras work well.

I'm not sure why everyone is so eager to test these GSI builds when they don't actually work 100% as stable.
LOS 15.1 development already in progress and I've been watching it, everything is looking good so far ( including camera, dual 4g/volte). Just give the devs sometime for the release.

I'm a very beginner so to flash without root:
0. Unlock bootloader
1. Flash recovery TWRP
2. In TWRP flash encryption disabler
3. Wipe (normal wipe?)
4. Reboot to recovery (Do I need this step?)
5. Flash GSI
6. Then reboot to system
Am I right?
Thanks for your answer.
PS.
If I flash the GSI with adb fastboot, do I need to flash the encryption disabler?
(In fastboot, I do the "fastboot flash system GSI.img")

One-time process:
1. UL bootloader.
2. Flash twrp.
3. Format user data for twrp dycript then reboot to recovery again without booting to os.
4. Flash encryption disabler boot once to os.
After this process you don't have to flash the encryption file again and again because it modifies your vendor partition for treble enable. You'll have to flash this file again after flashing any MIUI rom. If you need root in GSI you can flash this file or you can skip.

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
I'm using nano/pico gapps.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps
Work
Almost all
Known Issues

Recovery
Official version is too old and will not work with latest lineage builds (theoretically you can remove first 2 lines from "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" and install using official). I made repack of more fresh twrp recovery. Only one problem here: after turn-off screen, it cannt turn-on again. Hold volume up + power + home combination untill you back to recovery. Or you can in recovery in settings disable screen timeout.

Thanks to LineageOS team

Just updated from lineage-13.0-20190417. Everything I use daily seems to work. (I don't use phone/LTE, BT or Camera). Extra bonus: The capacitive buttons lit up for the first time in years.
The only issue I've found so far is that auto-rotate sometimes stops working.
Huge thanks to @Valera1978 for keeping our device alive!

Not very likely. T320, T325 and T525 have Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC's inside, so most of the codebase can be shared between them. T520 has Exynos which is a totally different beast.
And, yes, it's a brilliant ROM. Been my daily driver since my first post to this thread despite the problems with auto-rotation. I'm using the "Rotation Control" app, which makes it just a minor annoyance.

Unbelievable! Thank you very very much! Everything works. Feels like a new tablet!
Are you also working on Android 10?

Thanks a lot for this ROM!!! I just have a problem with Skype: in every call the other person doesn`t hear me. Sound recording - however - works. What can I do?

Thanks for your hint. Unfortunately, it didnt work for me. However the reason might be, that I am really a beginner on LineageOS and patching Android devices.
I copied the file (mixer_paths.xml) and edited the build.prop with "build.prob.editor".
Result is, that there is no sound at all any more, what remains even after restoring the old data.
Can someone help me?

Ok, I managed to fix it.
Just change in /system/build.prop the value from vendor.dedicated.device.for.voip=true
to vendor.dedicated.device.for.voip=false.
And then Skype works with microphone!
Best regards!

Installed today, works like a charm, even SD card is detected on startup.
Thank you for giving my 3 devices (T320, T325, T525) a new life!

Does someone use mobile Internet on this firmware? For unknown reasons, the sim card is lost. On the drain this was not. helps (not always) switching to airplane mode and subsequent reboot

Thank you for this ROM. It's quite stable.
However, auto rotation is not always working.
Looking forward to the Android 10 ROM for T525 ?

That's the only small issue I have with this ROM. With Rotation Control, though, it's more than manageable.

Hi
I have a T525 which was running android 4.4 . I am a newbie and manage to change the TWRP and install the above version of LineageOS however I am struggling to find a version of GApps that works. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Rob

Open GApps Pico has worked very well for me with both 16.0 and 17.1.
Platform: ARM
Android: 9.0
Variant: Pico
Nano should be ok as well. Just avoid any variant which installs the Pixel Launcher. I had huge problems with it when I initially flashed Stock GApps with 16.0. Since then I've gone with Pico with zero problems.
P.S. Why would you want to install 16.0 when 17.1 is available with frequent (= monthly) updates? I'm fairly sure @Valera1978 won't be pushing out another version of 16.0. The latest available version is from February.

I have a question, it's more convenient install this build or the android q build? which one of theese will be much supported?

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.
