bugs with SHV-E210K build (i9300 variant) - Omni Q&A

I have Omni booting and running on a E210K (It is a SGS3 Korean variant, only changes are LTE, 2GB and DMB antenna), but some major bugs need fixing. There not much if any device trees for these out there so I have just been modifying the i9300 and it works.
These are probably the major two issues I have for now:
1. without manually adding ro.zygote.disable_gl_preload=1 to the build prop, it won't boot. I noticed this line wasn't in the i9300 builds either, but it's definitely referenced in my builds:
/android/omni/device/samsung/smdk4412-common/common.mk
# Set default USB interface
PRODUCT_DEFAULT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += \
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp \
ro.zygote.disable_gl_preload=true

2. Can't adjust the vibration in advanced settings, when I do I get the logcat message below, there is no (very light) feedback because it seems the value is set very low.
If I manually edit the values (by putting it up to 10+) I can get feedback, so it is working.
Code:
I/ActivityManager( 2466): Displayed org.omnirom.device/.DeviceSettings: +428ms
W/DeviceSettings_Utils_Read( 5375): file /sys/vibrator/pwm_val: 2
W/DeviceSettings_Utils( 5375): file /sys/vibrator/pwm_val not found: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /sys/vibrator/pwm_val: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
W/DeviceSettings_Haptic( 5375): key: vibrator_tuning
but I have no idea where/how to proceed.
My device tree is up over at:
https://github.com/kaijura/android_device_samsung_e210k
I am using the same omni sources for smdk4412-common and kernel.
Thanks in advance

LTE screams "qcom modem" to me - perhaps look at the i9305 tree?

Figured it out, for anyone searching for this problem - the issue has to do with the ramdisk portion of a (custom) kernel as it wasn't matching up omni's init setups.

Tried a i9305 build it was a little worse off (no mobile connection), haha. I'm thinking of submitting for an official build after I figure out the build for a working stock omni kernel.
Since this device gets few attention (maybe less than 50 in the sgs3 forum) is it possible that you guys could set the jenkins buildbot to build like every week or other week?

[Issue] Omni 4.4 wifi can't find network

Hey guys,
I finally built omni 4.4 for Gtab2 10.1
My wifi is turned On, but can't find any network.
I used latest blobs from samsung stock rom 4.2.2 to be sure.
logcat:
http://pastebin.com/xm6un9Tg
During the build process i faced an error :
Code:
out/target/common/obj/APPS/framework-res_intermediates/src/com/android/internal/R.java
out/target/common/obj/APPS/framework-res_intermediates/src/android/R.java
expected "}"
public static final class string-array{ }
^
this is not the exact error code but it was almost this.
To bypass this error i just comented both class, i wonder if this can be related?
thanks
I'd suggest looking at other device bringup commits first.
4.4 requires wifi configuration changes and storage configuration changes.

mmhh still no luck.
I don't have any error message in logcat now but still scanning for network and can't find any.
I based my change on aries bring up commit.
Now my ext sdcard work if i'm root, i may need to change some permission in fstab,
and i add edit this line in init.espresso10.rc
Code:
service wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant \
-Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -e/data/misc/wifi/entropy.bin [email protected]:wpa_wlan0 \
-c/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf -O/data/misc/wifi/sockets
and if I try to add an ssid by hand i got this error in logcat:
Code:
E/WifiConfigStore( 441): failed to set SSID: "mywifi"
E/WifiConfigStore( 441): Failed to set a network variable, removed network: 0
E/WifiStateMachine( 441): Failed to save network
thanks.
Did you add it, or change the one that was already there?

Do you face this error while building omni? can it be because of my java version? i'm on java 6
finally got it working, it was related in init conf file like you said.
Does someone just know how can I disable hardwar keyboard at first boot?
Because of that keyboard never show up so i have to skip the first settings and disable it in language & input.

Could you precise which mod you did in init conf file ?
Because I've the same problem with a build for Acer A200 : loop on AP scan, no results, no possibilities to configure an AP manually....

Fix or remove the broken kernel driver that's reporting a keyboard as being present when it's not.
Another possibility is you're missing KL/IDC files for some input device that is being treated as a hardware keyboard when it's not. (See the galaxys2-common family - the sii9234 or whatever it is IDC file was needed to keep that input device from being detected as a HW keyboard)

[Q] Building omni 4.4.1 fails (libgccdemangle)

Hi,
In the past I've built CM for various devices/versions. Moving to omni, I'd like to build for my jfltexx, but it fails during some of the static library builds:
I thought it might be jfltexx specific, but mako dies in a similar way:
Code:
host C: libcorkscrew <= system/core/libcorkscrew/arch-x86/ptrace-x86.c
host SharedLib: libgccdemangle (/home/darrens/android/omni/out/host/linux-x86/obj/lib/libgccdemangle.so)
/home/darrens/android/omni/out/host/linux-x86/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libgccdemangle_intermediates/cp-demangle.o: file not recognized: File truncated
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/home/darrens/android/omni/out/host/linux-x86/obj/lib/libgccdemangle.so] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
I have a clean tree for CM11 - it is looking like mako will succeed (the .o files that are empty above are present in the CM build) CM11 jfltexx fails, but in a different way to omni.
EDIT: Just produced cm-11-20131212-UNOFFICIAL-mako.zip, but still no luck.
BTW - love the approach omni is taking. As a long time user of Fedora, I can see parallels in the engagement model. The community will be able to engage in a more stuctured way (discussing bugs randomly on XDA is a poor way to manage issues in unreleased software), and I suspect it will be easier for people to stand up and submit fixes, or even report bugs. Good job.
Ah - might be my bad. Had my machine freeze at some stage after/during repo sync - might have corrupted something that wasn't detected by re-sync. removed the source for this lib, and re synced - it's built the object files now, but failed on a few others. Might blow away the whole lot and start clean (is there a way to check integrity of files in the repo?)

Nuke your working folder and do a sync from scratch using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47625075&postcount=666
It'll sync in no time at all because you already have CM11.0 sauce™ code.

Yep - some corrupted stuff in my repo - all synced and build OK.
Do you know if I need to extract the proprietary files for the final product to run properly? I ran extract-files.sh, and it failed to find some (using my existing omni 4.4.2 device as the source).

I don't know for sure for your device, but I compile builds for n7000 and n7100 using DonCoyote/Samsung blobs, not extracted stuff.

OK. I've seen a ref to that, and theMuppets. I guess without the blobs, big chunks of the device won't work. I'll just have to try it out I guess (then perhaps I can assist with the build_jfltexx page on the wiki). I'll add that to my config, as per the i9300 instructions .

Omni for MSM8974

Hello I am trying to port the beloved OmniRom to my device which is a KLTE (Samsung Galaxy S5) I have successfully built the ROM from source using kernel and device configs from CM and of course some fixes and cherry picking. The issue I have now is that the ROM will not boot.
I stays at my carrier logo (Samsung) so it does not even let me cat-log. I tried to install the ROM and then restored a backup of Cyanogenmods system directory. It boots to android but all apps forceclose. I did this to see if it was an issue with the boot image and since it can boot to a different system partition I don't believe its a boot.img issue or kernel issue for that matter. Or is it?
Any help getting this to boot would be appreciated. I can provide build logs and my device repo if needed.

MSM8974 is our first CAF chipset we're working on supporting.
I'd suggest looking at the Oppo find7/msm8974-common repos as nearly all initial CAF 8974 work is being done on the Find7.
you need android-5.1-caf branches for frameworks/av and frameworks/native for a CAF device until I finish the merge effort

Thank you! That explains a lot. Maybe you can help me again? I keep coming across building with legacy opposed to CAF and to change it in the configs... What configs are they talking about?

You mean AOSP HALs? It's pretty rare for a CAF device to work with vanilla AOSP HALs.
It's the various QCOM_blah_VARIANT flags - 8974s are caf-bfam

Updated my repo to 5.1 source but still getting errors. Here is the device configs that I am using. I am getting the same errors throughout.
First error was
Code:
frameworks/base/core/jni/android_view_Surface.cpp:206:14: error: 'class android::Surface' has no member named 'setDirtyRect'
surface->setDirtyRect(&rect);
Which I solved by cherry-picking THIS
Next I get an error that msmcal-hwdep.h is not found not sure how to fix this yet...
I recreated my devices config from scratch and uploaded it to git... Maybe you can take a look when you have some free time? It would mean alot! https://github.com/Gigoo25/android_device_samsung_klte

msmcal_hwdep - look at the stiff in your kernel source under include/ - all of that header-y stuff in some of the Kconfigs
You shouldn't be cherrypicking that, I'm not sure why Max even put that up. Until I finish the CAF av/native merge, anyone declaring QCOM_HARDWARE should be using the android-5.1-caf branches of av and native

I ended up having a booting and working build when I removed the camera and RIL
RIL gives me an error of

It should be a frameworks/opt/telephony issue correct? Except it doesn't display the full file path?

It looks like the KLTE actually specifies its own RIL subclass (interesting trick, I've never seen that before) and that subclass is depending on something in frameworks/opt/tel that Omni doesn't have.
Either find the missing patch in f/opt/tel or figure out how to adapt KlteRIL.java

I seem to have gotten everything working fine besides the camera. The app and libraries compile fine but when the rom boots I cannot see it in the app drawer. When I try to launch it through the lockscreen it just force closes. Not sure what could be causing the problem? All the permissions seem to be checking out, and messing with the BoardConfiv and Device make files has not seemed to help. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Could it be a framework issue?

Look through the logcat for camera errors, especially any errors about missing libraries.
Not appearing in app drawer indicates that Android doesn't think there is a camera present. There are 2349734297320 different things that could cause this - missing camera HAL dependency, kernel/HAL mismatch, many other things.

Pretty much - if you can't figure out what is wrong from reading a logcat, most likely, you can't figure out what parts of the logcat are relevant and which are not.
That excerpt basically tells me nothing.
I assume that was from trying to forcefully start the camera with no camera actually present as far as Android was concerned. That's a symptom, not the root cause of the problem. Based on what you've described, the root cause of the problem will likely be visible even if no attempt is made to use the camera.

I've been messing around with the device configurations and logcats. I I think I have found the culprit for my camera not working. It shows that it loads the module but then fails to open it? Is this a CameraWrapper issue? Still trying to fix the camera so I can use this as a daily build but I have limited experience as a developer.
EDIT: Also the camera shows up on first boot but then disappears and says that the application is not installed. I'm trying to logcat it but not sure how to do that on the first boot without allowing my PC
EDIT2: From the looks of it searching the web it seems to be an issue with frameworks/av/camera/CameraParameters.cpp & frameworks/av/camera/include/CameraParameters.h

Looks like a patch for CameraParameters needed by your device is missing since no one has tried to bring that device up before, or hasn't tried bringing it up with 5.x
Since it's a Qualcomm-based device and likely using CAF repos, you'll probably have to patch frameworks/av-caf and not frameworks/av - see https://lists.omnirom.org/pipermail/maintainers/2015-June/000101.html for details (we need to add this info to the wiki...)

So I would have to split av into two folders then applying I believe THIS patch to av-caf in order to compile it properly?
Also does native-caf branch still have to be merged before compiling?

Well, the splitting of av is already done. Native is already merged with ifdefs (it didn't require nearly as much ifdefing as av, so we have a "unified" CAF+AOSP native). The only thing that is needed for device maintainers is adding av-caf to omni.dependencies - see the maintainers list post I linked to, or look at the Oppo find7 history.
So once you're pulling in av-caf via omni.dependencies, you should be able to apply that patch to av-caf and then submit it to Gerrit for review.
You might want to start idling in IRC, #omni is where most device maintainers are (in fact, all maintainers for supported devices idle their routinely, it's now a requirement for maintainers to routinely idle in IRC so they can see what's going on/people can ping them with questions.)

Turns out I might of fixed the problem. Instead of messing with frameworks/av I can just override it with a file inside include/camera? Looking back at the Cyanogenmod repo for my device THIS is present while in my source it is not.
Compiling now. Will post results after.

Guide to port to Lineage-16.0

Hello,
I am interested in trying to port sumire to Lineage 16.0, the problem is I couldn't find any guide that seemed to help me get started.
In IRC someone told me I had to:
1. Fork the cm-14.1 branch to lineage-16.0, change the required config files, and build in a 16.0 build env.
2. Wait for it to error out, fix error, repeat. Eventually once it builds, attempt booting, check logs to see why it isn't booting, fix error, repeat.
But as you can see, its not much.
I have been taking a look into the first commits for sumire on cm-14.1, https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...mmit/7be9d2e5edf6f7ea1f399febbeee9d9fbdc122e1
But I do not know if its the best way to learn.
Where could I find some guides?
Best regards

It's not really a guide, but the guy in this thread tried to port LOS 15 to the Z5, so it's probably the best place to start. He ran into issues with the camera so take a look at the last few pages too see what's going on. The people in that thread are willing to help.

Any ideas?
I have set up android_device_sony_sumire from sony-msm8994 in the included .repo/local_manifest. Setting ROOMSERVICE_BRANCHES=cm-14 as it functions as a fallback branch was suggested in the console output while i was getting familiar and this is a helpful feature worth noting.
There is an incompatibility in https://github.com/sony-msm8994/android_device_sony_sumire and kitakami-common, the lineage.dependencies file needs to be moved or it will try and download dependencies for the sumire files from the LineageOS Github (http://github.com/LineageOS). Next there are two easy defines, SND_AUDIOCODEC_ALAC and SND_AUDIOCODEC_APE to deal with before an untimely error because of a typo present in the Xperia kernel, content_interprtation_type instead of content_interpretation_type.

It compiled, but gives a black boot screen both from early boot, a kernel issue, adb seems to be communicating, I'm meddling with the boot image atm so i will know more later (Later: The updated mdss code broke for our case somewhere. I will also need to work on the local_manifest) (Later: New Manifest attached) . Last I tested the kernel a few moons ago it worked on the Z1, so issue this was a surprise... I will also import the changes from the sony-msm8994 project, who is doing a great job, i see quite a lot of work to the sdcardfs code.

How did you managed to compile it? I am finding a lot of problems, for example, in system/core/init/util.h
Code:
#include <android-base/chrono_utils.h>
#include <selinux/label.h>
were not found, so I had to comment them out, but I do not know if this its going to be the best approach...
@algui91
Im about to test what built tonight. I suspect i need to port the binder from sony-msm8994 though, it lookst tasty anyway. But does your build by any chance warn against building with a pre compiled kernel? I guess or simply some headers might have new names maybe or some feature needs to be introduced into the kernel.
The .repo/local_manifest/oss.xml contains some qcom opensource projects, to compile for 16.1 change opensource-location from revision=o-mr to p-mr. Also add https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/transpower/commits/android-8.1.0_r35, for 15.1 or probably master for 16.1, i missed that yesterday.

Hello,
Thanks for your quick reply, How did your test went? this are the only warnings I get when running brunch sumire:
Code:
build/make/core/combo/TARGET_linux-arm.mk:43: warning: cortex-a53.a57 is armv8-a.
build/make/core/combo/TARGET_linux-arm.mk:45: warning: TARGET_2ND_ARCH_VARIANT, armv7-a-neon, ignored! Use armv8-a instead.
Trying dependencies-only mode on a non-existing device tree?
I applied the required binder changes from sony-msm8994 for AOSP 8.1 and it turns out it results in a locked kernel that fails to even boot, so i'm looking that problem now. So for instant results instead of my Z1 to Z5 kernel, use https://github.com/sony-msm8994/android_kernel_sony_msm8994 in , .repo/local_manifests/LA.BR.1.3.3_rb2.14.xml , you need to comment out common-headers common-kernel, also i see i commented out my kernel, a good place to add sony-msm8994, i realize my project to update the unified kernel is riddled with mines., and we really need 15.1 and 16.1 yesterday.
I've come around to testing the whole Sony-msm8994 project that's up on Z5c, Lineage 15.1 is up with wifi, location, nfc available at least, so is the usb otg switch, not working is fingerprint and gsm services, camera.
Spotted this in logcat.

So i rolled back the functions required by the libraries in external/protobuf/src/google/protobuf/io/coded_stream.h, external/protobuf/src/google/protobuf/io/coded_stream.cc, attached a patch to get a bit farther .
I get the following error now.

Need help building a SM-T555 (gt510lte) LineageOS ROM

Dear all,
I am trying to build a LineageOS 17.1 ROM for the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 (gt510lte) SM-T555.
Using the repos of @retiredtab and aala27's repos I managed to build a config that resulted in a buildable LineageOS that I could install and that shows the Lineage boot animation but crashes/reboots after a while.
Fyi, my forks for the GT510LTE (SM-T555) I currently maintain here: https://github.com/blizzard4591?tab=repositories
Questions to @retiredtab:
- What is your current local_manifest/roomservice? I could not locate this in your Github and used one posted by aala27 in a different thread, but it might be "off".
- Did you extract the required proprietary files by hand from stock ROMs or is there an automated way? I have "SM-T555_1_20190103084053_we4a668guy_fac" with T555XXU1CQHA/T555XXU1CRG1 that I know works on my T555.
- The repo "vendor-samsung-gt5note10wifi" in your Github only contains a branch for Lineage 18.1, is that intentional?
Sadly, I am a total noob in the area of building Lineage, so I might miss some obvious things!
I am willing to put in some time and effort to make this work, but I just do not know enough to do it efficiently.
If you can spare the time for a few hints, I believe I can make some progress!
Cheers
Update 1:
My image is working, i.e. it boots and gives a stable system.
Problem: Bluetooth does not work and crashes a lot, I have no clue what the problem is.
Problem: Audio is not working, I see a lot of "audio_route: unable to find path 'low-latency-playback speaker'
The system settings dialog is missing the "Android Patchlevel" information - is this expected? I am building using "repo sync, breakfast gt510lte, brunch gt510lte" - is this correct? I am just an idiot.
Update 2:
Bluetooth and Audio are working, SELinux is not, so permissive it is for now.
Builds available on request.

It was there before, but I think after the switch to Xenforo on Dec 1, 2020, it might have gotten lost. It's there now and what I use to generate 17.1 for T550.

No, I just used what's in at https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916. Having said that, I found that for the SM-T350, it was missing some very important files so I grabbed those from stock.

gt5note10wifi is for the P550, not T550. You shouldn't be using that as the *.mk files won't copy the correct blobs for your device.

Congrats on getting a bootable stable system. For bluetooth, you are probably missing a bluetooth blob. Look in your adb logcat (see below) for red messages that are bluetooth related. It might say something like "missing libbt-nv.so".
Missing Android Patchlevel means you don't have a property declared in your *.mk file. Right now, I can' t remember what it is, but I will look for it.
Instead of brunch, I do
Code:
TARGET_BUILD_TYPE=debug TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng make -j2 bacon
This makes an engineering build that starts adb logcat immediately. That way, you can see all the messages as soon as the device boots. It helps a lot in troubleshooting stuck at boot animation problems.
The -j2 indicates how many CPU cores I have. If you have more, say 4, then -j4.
Once you solved all your problems and if you want to share your ROM, then do a brunch which is userdebug by default (for me, I just do a make -j2 bacon).
For adb logcat, I find
Code:
adb logcat -C | nl
helpful. It color codes the log so anything in red (error) needs attention. Nl numbers the log so it's easier to remember where you error messages are vs a timestamp.
For the Android patch level, show me a screenshot so I exactly what you mean.

Try not to edit your initial post because I didnt' see the audio problem. Just make a new one so that I see new responses.
The audio problem is likely you don't have the correct definition in mixer_paths.xml. aala27 had the exact same problem. It's likely this

For SM-T550, the line inside mixer_paths.xml looks like
Code:
<path name="low-latency-playback speaker">
<ctl name="QUAT_MI2S_RX Audio Mixer MultiMedia5" value="1" />
</path>
You can see above, I have a path name that matches 'low-latency-playback speaker' exactly. Your mixer_paths.xml probably doesn't have this defined so you get no audio.
BTW, all the info I'm giving wasn't available via search engine when I first started. It's extremely frustrating to troubleshoot when I first started. Even now, I have problems with audio over bluetooth and stuttering audio over bluetooth for two platforms that both worked perfectly on the previous last major revision on Android.
Thank you so much; I know how hard this kind of initial research is!
Regarding the audio issues:
I tried that already, as you can see in https://github.com/blizzard4591/android_device_samsung_gt510lte/tree/lineage-17.1/configs/audio I used the config files from my stock image (I had assumed they would work, but they do not - why?) and then added said speaker there, but no luck, it still has the same error message. What am I misunderstanding?
Regarding Bluetooth:
Thanks to you tip, I added the libbt-nv.so module, but this did not change the situation.
I am now building a debug/eng build, but in the log I still see no messages of missing drivers/firmware/SOs. You can find my Logcat attached - could you take a look and tell me whether I am missing something? Should there be messages?
How did you find out that you were missing BLOBs?

You need to check the actual rom image to see if the mixer_paths.xml is correct. Do
Code:
adb pull /system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml
and compare if the two are the same.

Interesting, I can see it, but I attached it as ZIP!
The log you attached is missing all the bootup sequence. You need to start adb logcat as soon as the device boots.
Audio
=====
Your mixer_paths.xml should be in /vendor/etc. /system/vendor is usually a link to /vendor. From my P550.
Code:
$ adb shell
gt5note10wifi:/ # ls -al vendor
lrw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 2008-12-31 17:00 vendor -> /system/vendor

Bluetooth
=========
You have tons of errors with your bluetooth. If you view your logcat in color, these are all in red.

When it crashes hard like above, there's no way bluetooth will work.
Again, if you are using the 17.1 msm8916-common repo, it's missing the bluetooth entries for manifest.xml and msm8916.mk.
For the manifest.xml you need something like
Code:
<hal format="hidl">
<name>android.hardware.bluetooth</name>
<transport arch="32+64">passthrough</transport>
<version>1.0</version>
<interface>
<name>IBluetoothHci</name>
<instance>default</instance>
</interface>
</hal>
For msm8916.mk, you need
Code:

I list the tools that you can use to help build selinux policies. As I wrote in the other thread, do you blindly trust the policies generated by the tools? I'm not an expert so I don't know and it's highly dependent on each hardware device.
I built an image with selinux enforcing as a test sometime in March and while it works, I'm not confident and ready to release that. In addition, each device will require it's own set of selinux policies. What might work for the P550 may not work on the T555 due to differences in hardware (LTE, S-pen).
Building the correct selinux policies is an iterative exercise. Wipe everything on your device, format data. Install the ROM only. You grant the initial batch of policies, reboot, look at logs, grant some more and repeat until they are gone. You should do this with the ROM only. Don't load gapps, games, apps, etc and then run selinux.

I had to load Magisk and LiveBoot to even get the early-boot log. Using ADB logcat I was unable to get a log from "system start" - the adb process would hang and wait for the device to be fully booted. Even afterwards, no messages from boot. I had USB debugging enabled, default USB conf "file transfer", etc.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Good catch - I simply copied the policies from VirsysElectron to start, but since they do not really work, I don't think I will continue much on this path. I share your opinion on old drivers and the greater picture. I had hoped the old policies would work for most of the basics, but they do not.

For an eng build, there's no need for Magisk and LiveBoot to get an adb logcat. Part of the eng parameters is that it enables adb right away.
For developing selinux policies, you leave it in permissive first, develop the policies as I stated and then when you think you are done, then enable selinux enforcing. More at

And that's the problem right there. It's so easy to kang or copy someone else's work today (legal or illegal) that some don't bother to check if it's right in the first place. I'm not saying VirsysElectron code is wrong, he may have a good reason why those files are generated.
I also fall into that boat. I use the public open source repos, but there's no way that I have the expertise or time to check everything in the repo for errors, security vulnerabilities, code correctness, etc.

I started writing my own policies from scratch (its somewhere in the repo history), but I first wanted to get my bearings, see how things work - ideally from a known, working starting point - which was a good idea, as otherwise the issue mentioned above regarding the labeling rule that does not get applied would have cost me much more sanity than just questioning someone else's code
Hello RandomAndroidTinkerer
I also own a T555, currently with TWRP 3.3.1 and LineageOS 16.0 from Virsys( 20191231). It's very stable, except the SIM didn't work.
Am of course interested in your image and would like to test it out. Which TWRP version do you use ?
Friendly greetings

For fun, I tried it on the P550 and not surprisingly, it doesn't boot. It doesn't even out adb logcat.
LineageOS also builds it's own recovery.img as another recovery option to TWRP. It's not as user friendly and lacks some features, but it's functional.
Thank you so much for your image - I am very excited to test it. Feedback follows in the next days.
