[Building TWRP] Easytone T95 Super Android 10 2GB RAM 16GB ROM - Android TV General

So I made a TWRP device tree for it using twrpdtgen by SebaUbuntu and I’m doing the repo sync of the twrp minimal manifest but I haven’t really built TWRP for a device before. The device tree is android_device_mbox_dolphinp1 but I will also try to make it obvious that that device is also the Easytone… etc so it is easy to find and I will make XDA post when it is fully complete. The main thing I need to do now is double check all the stuff in the build tree and any settings I want TWRP to have in boardconfig.mk and compile and test it. I own this device so if all goes well it could be at least booting by the end of the week. Is there anyone with TWRP building experience that would be willing to help if I make any stupid mistakes? The end goal is to make an official TWRP build on the TWRP website. This year I may also consider looking into ROM development just because I really love tinkering with this device and I would love to see it running a custom ROM with the Android TV controls and features in mind. I also want to help anyone who bought this device and was disappointed by the stock experience, which can be slow and clunky to say the least.

I am trying to do lunch but I get this error please help

[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 .

bugs with SHV-E210K build (i9300 variant)

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?

Error trying to compile LineageOS 13.0

While trying to compile LineageOS 13.0 for the Nexus I'm stuck with the following error:

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
target thumb C++: init <= system/core/init/keychords.cpp
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.
Anyone being able to tell me how to get rid of that?
The type init_shell is not defined, i.e. your sepolicy configuration of the device tree does not match to the ROM sources. Probably the best way is to remove those definfitions temporaryly and to build the ROM in permissive mode. Later you can restrict / adapt the permissions to your needs.
Sooo... after some time I got back to this little project.
What I have achieved so far is that LineageOS 13.0 does build for grouper. However, when trying to boot it always starts back in recovery.
What I have done starting from stock LineageOS code for grouper is correcting "tvdpi" to "hdpi" like in 14.1 (https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...mmit/7dd33b8eb8c13b682202405e48c6d7962d5a73d7), and referring the build process to the correct kernel config, which is not "lineageos_android_defconfig" but "lineageos_grouper_defconfig". Then I have tried to substitute the apparently incorrect sepolicy definitions by those of GtrCraft (https://github.com/GtrCraft/cyanogenmod_grouper).
The result can't be too bad, because it actually builds. However, since it is not starting up I'm kinda stuck here again. Anyone being able to provide a hint why this is so or how to diagnose it?
And just for the obvious question: I believe that 14.1 is too much for grouper, although there is a somehow official build. And also, Xposed does not work officially yet on 14.1 (and does not anymore on 11.0). Therefore I would really like to upgrade to 13.0.
Still no luck, compile is finishing without errors, ROM will not boot, but throws me back to recovery. Maybe someone can take a look into the ROM:

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.

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.

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.
Code:
Abort message: 'CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/system/bin/netmgrd": cannot locate symbol "_ZN6google8protobuf2io16CodedInputStream20ReadVarint32FallbackEPj" referenced by "/system/vendor/lib64/libcneapiclient.so"...'
TARGET_CPU_VARIANT in device/sony/kitakami-common/BoardConfigCommon.mk is set to generic, it's supposed to be TARGET_CPU_VARIANT := cortex-a53

Have the same problem, spotted the same Fatal message, Did the change in TARGET_CPU_VARIANT solved the problem?

I am guessing its some makefile which has a SHARED_LIBRARY link to _ZN6google8protobuf2io16CodedInputStream20ReadVarint32FallbackEPj missing, but do not know where to find it. I've searched on the LineageOS repos without luck.

I see its in prebuilt compiler also.
But maybe?
Code:
external/protobuf/src/google/protobuf/io/coded_stream.cc :
Los 14.1
bool CodedInputStream::ReadVarint32Fallback(uint32* value) {
if (BufferSize() >= kMaxVarintBytes ||
// Optimization: We're also safe if the buffer is non-empty and it ends
// with a byte that would terminate a varint.
(buffer_end_ > buffer_ && !(buffer_end_[-1] & 0x80))) {
const uint8* end = ReadVarint32FromArray(buffer_, value);
if (end == NULL) return false;
buffer_ = end;
return true;
} else {
// Really slow case: we will incur the cost of an extra function call here,
// but moving this out of line reduces the size of this function, which
// improves the common case. In micro benchmarks, this is worth about 10-15%
return ReadVarint32Slow(value);
}
}
Los.15.1
int64 CodedInputStream::ReadVarint32Fallback(uint32 first_byte_or_zero) {
if (BufferSize() >= kMaxVarintBytes ||
// Optimization: We're also safe if the buffer is non-empty and it ends
// with a byte that would terminate a varint.
(buffer_end_ > buffer_ && !(buffer_end_[-1] & 0x80))) {
GOOGLE_DCHECK_NE(first_byte_or_zero, 0)
<< "Caller should provide us with *buffer_ when buffer is non-empty";
uint32 temp;
::std::pair<bool, const uint8*> p =
ReadVarint32FromArray(first_byte_or_zero, buffer_, &temp);
if (!p.first) return -1;
buffer_ = p.second;
return temp;
} else {
// Really slow case: we will incur the cost of an extra function call here,
// but moving this out of line reduces the size of this function, which
// improves the common case. In micro benchmarks, this is worth about 10-15%
uint32 temp;
return ReadVarint32Slow(&temp) ? static_cast<int64>(temp) : -1;
}
}
The function ReadVarint32Fallback is used in the following libraries :
vendor/sony/kitakami-common/proprietary/vendor/lib64/libsettings.so
vendor/sony/kitakami-common/proprietary/vendor/lib64/libcneapiclient.so
vendor/sony/kitakami-common/proprietary/vendor/lib/libsettings.so
vendor/sony/kitakami-common/proprietary/vendor/lib/libcneapiclient.so
vendor/sony/kitakami-common/proprietary/vendor/lib/mediadrm/libwvdrmengine.so
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.
Code:
520 F DEBUG : Abort message: 'CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/system/bin/netmgrd": cannot locate symbol "_ZN6google8protobuf8internal14WireFormatLite10ReadStringEPNS0_2io16CodedInputStreamEPNSt3__112basic_stringIcNS6_11char_traitsIcEENS6_9allocatorIcEEEE" referenced by "/system/vendor/lib64/libcneapiclient.so"...'
I think the correct thing to do now is call ReadStringEPNS0_2io16CodedInputStreamEPNSt3__112basic_stringIcNS6_11char_traitsIcEENS6_9allocatorIcEEEE

OPEN BETA for 17.1 UNOFFICIAL LineageOS T550 rom

BEFORE YOU decide to try this rom, please read all of post 1 and 2.
The UNOFFICIAL LineageOS 17.1 T550 ROM
BACKUP YOUR DATA AND OLD ROM BEFORE trying my rom.
Let me be clear, I have the SM-P550, NOT the SM-T550.
So I built a SM-P550 rom which is almost the same as the SM-T550 except the "P" stands for Pen.
I believe my P550 rom with minor modifications will work on the T550, but I have no T550 to test it on. I believe it will work because I have used virsys T550 rom on my P550 and it works, but the X-axis touch is inverted.
So I built SM-P550 with code to fix the X-axis touch inverted problem and it's one of line code. If I leave that one line of code out, then the X-axis will be correct for the T550. I have tested my 17.1 T550 rom on my P550 and it works, but again with the X-axis inverted. Just remember I don't have a T550 to test it on so you may run into bootloops, stuck at boot animation, etc.
If you are NOT an expert in using fastboot, adb, odin, heimdall, twrp, DO NOT attempt this ROM. You must know how to use these tools to revert back to your old rom. I'm not a Windows user so do not expect any help from me. My main OS is Lubuntu 20.04 LTS and all my roms are built on this platform.
If you are new to flashing custom roms, do NOT attempt this.
If you need your tablet for work and something important, do NOT flash this rom. This rom could result in a bricked device or boot loop or non booting device or you not being able to revert back to your old rom.
Again, the T550 rom that I built does boot and function on my P550, but I have no T550 to verify.
BACKUP YOUR DATA AND OLD ROM BEFORE trying my rom.
The rom has the latest monthly 2021 security patches.
What works
1. bluetooth
2. wifi
3. brightness
4. external audio
5. GPS
6. audio through headphone jack
7. camera
8. touchscreen X-axis works properly
9. Google play store - use pico apps
10. flip flap smart cover
11. audio over bluetooth
What doesn't work
1. LineageOS FM Radio app does not work. The P550 and T550 don't have the LTE chipset for it to work.
2. The stock Jelly browser crashes a lot. Use a different browser. There's lots of better options that are more stable and reliable than the built in Jelly browser.
3. Home screen text may look fuzzy.
Text on home screen looks funny/fuzzy. This only seems to affect the home screen and nowhere else. I have seen the same problem on the SM-T350, SM-T560NU, SM-P550 and Nexus 7 2013.
Problem is with stock trebuchet launcher and/or its fonts. I tried rootless pixel launcher from fdroid as a quick and simple test and see no problems with home screen text. Rootless pixel uses a different font though. A future LineageOS update could resolve the problem?
FAQ - I spent hundreds of hours building this rom. The least you can do is spend a few minutes reading everything before posting.
Q1) Why are you releasing a ROM for a tablet that you do not own?
A1) I don't own the SM-T550, but have the SM-P550. I also build roms for the SM-T350 and SM-T560NU. All these platforms use the same msm8916 code base. As such, all my work from the SM-T350, SM-T560NU and SM-P550 could possibly benefit SM-T550 users. For one P550 owner, there are probably twenty T550 owners.
Q2) What if my app, xyz, doesn't work?
A2) I won't answer questions regarding why your app doesn't work. If your app, whatever it is, doesn't work, then go back to your old rom. It's difficult enough building and maintaining these roms. Remember, I'm an unpaid volunteer making a rom for free for your benefit, not mine as I don't even have the T550.
Q3) Your rom is laggy and buggy.
A3) If you find the above, then go back to your old rom. There's only so much software can do on a 2015 budget level tablet. Remember a budget tablet will have the slower SoC/CPU and less DRAM than a top of the line model. Your tablet will also run slower when you use gapps (google apps). You can run a lot of software without using gapps. Research newpipe, microg, youtube vanced, aurora store etc.
Q4) What TWRP should I use?
A4) Use 3.4.0.0. Get it at
Download TWRP for gt510wifi
Download TWRP Open Recovery for gt510wifi
dl.twrp.me
Q5) Why should I use this rom?
A5) You don't. I only offer it because I have built the SM-P550 and it was an easy change to make a SM-T550 rom. If you don't like this rom, then don't use it. Yes, it's that simple.
Q6) Can you build SM-T555 (LTE) or a crDroid version of the SM-T550?
A6) No. All the source code is open source and my changes are in the repo diff file. You can use these two with the roomservice.xml to build your own rom.
Q7) Will you offer monthly updates with security patches?
A7) That all depends on if I continue to have high speed Internet and on the reaction of the posts in this thread. If people are going to complain, then I have NO incentive to make an update. Remember, I don't have the T550 so I get zero benefit from making this rom for myself.
Q8) Can you help me? I'm a newbie. Can you provide step by step instructions?
A8) There are lots of tutorials, videos, etc on how to flash roms. Do your own research.
Q9) Can I report a bug with respect to the rom?
A9) Yes, but you need to supply a) how to recreate it b) a logcat c) a github commit showing how it was fixed. Even then, if I don't have the means to recreate it, I won't be working on it.
Q10) Can I build this rom? Where are the source and kernel source files?
A10) Yes. The kernel source files are at
Samsung MSM8916 Devices
Samsung MSM8916 Devices has 68 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.
github.com
aala27 - Repositories
aala27 has 7 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.
github.com
Q11) Okay, I understand the consequences and that this is beta rom and willing to take the risks outlined, now where can I find the rom?
A11) Downloads are at

Hi rretiredtab
I have a T550 with the latest virsys image 16.0 from March 2020.
It is more or less stable, but I think, it will be always slowlier. Empty dalvic and cache does not help.
I'm ready for a new challenge. If I can help you, please let me know.
Best regards
Schaagi
Hi retiredtab,
I ready to try this rom

My 16.0 rom for the SM-P550 is based on virsys repos. However, I was only able to make 2 builds using his repos before a LineageOS update in Sept 2020 caused it to get stuck at the boot animation.
Then I tried virsys 17.1 repo and it too gets stuck at the boot animation. I know virsys built crDroid Android 10 rom and uploaded it sometime June 2020, but his Android 10 repos on github are dated March 2020 so whatever patches he did to get crDroid working isn't on github.
I don't know if 17.1 will be faster than 16.0. The 17.1 builds, by default, use an overclocked CPU and GPU in the kernel code. However, I don't know if you will see any real world differences in performance from the overclocking.
In addition, I don't know if virsys March 16.0 March 2020 is overclocked or not. You can always download an utility like CPUinfo at
CPU Info | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
Information about device hardware and software
f-droid.org
to see if the CPU is running at 1.2Ghz or 1.6Ghz (overclocked).
@Schaagi and @Simone101, please let me know if the T550 ROM boots or not after you have installed it. I'm pretty sure it will, but would like to know ASAP.
Then, afterwards, you can let me know how it works over a 24 to 48 hour period. I'm interested to see if it randomly reboots or crashes.
As for speed and performance, just remember it's a 5 year old entry level tablet and unless LineageOS is written in assembler language, it will never match a top of the line model tablet.
Thank you.
I've installed your image as clean-install. It boots !!!
At the beginning of the setup process there is a bluetooth error, that repeats after every new boot.
First installation without opengapps -ok
Second one with opengapps - ok
Restore Data from previous image - ok
As next I will try to install magisk.
Wow, good job. I will check it for the next days and give feedback later.
Best regards
Schaagi

Can you provide a screenshot of the error please?
I haven't seen the bluetooth error before on my SM-P550 and I reboot my SM-P550 a lot because I'm always flashing new builds.
I don't use bluetooth at all, but when I turn it on, I can see my neighbor's 65 inch TV. Also, I can pair two tablets together using bluetooth.
Meanwhile I have installed Magisk 21.1 and it works too
I've attached 2 screenshots from Bluetooth error.

The above is why we need BETA testers.
Okay, I ran into the bluetooth error problem on the SM-T350 and it was due to a missing bluetooth library.
In my SM-T350, I have
Code:
# RT 17.1 copy bluetooth file otherwise bluetooth keeps crashing
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/samsung/msm8916-common/proprietary/vendor/lib/libbtnv.so:$(TARGET_COPY_OUT_VENDOR)/lib/libbtnv.so
Those 3 lines of code are not in the T550 build. It's easy to add and I can create another BETA build. It's building right now and probably be done in the next 2 hours or so.
If you want to add the libbtnv.so file yourself, here are the instructions
1) Boot into TWRP 3.4.0.0.
2) Click Mount. Choose System.
3) On your computer, goto
proprietary_vendor_samsung/libbtnv.so at lineage-17.1 · Galaxy-MSM8916/proprietary_vendor_samsung
proprietary_vendor_samsung. Contribute to Galaxy-MSM8916/proprietary_vendor_samsung development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
4) Click download.
5) Goto the directory where the libbtnv.so is saved.
6) Plug in microusb cable to tablet.
7) Then use adb to push the file using the command
Code:
$ adb push libbtnv.so /system/vendor/lib/libbtnv.so
libbtnv.so: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 48.5 MB/s (16128 bytes in 0.000s)
8) Check to make sure file was pushed.
Code:
$ adb shell ls -al /system/vendor/lib/libbtnv.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16128 Dec 19 21:24 /system/vendor/lib/libbtnv.so
9) Reboot into system and bluetooth error should be gone.
OR
Just wait until my next build is done to get rid of the bluetooth errors. I'm confident the error is due to the missing bluetooth library file.
I will send you and Simone101 a PM when the new build is done.
The new BETA build is finished, but having problems uploading to host server right now. I will try again in a couple of hours to upload. I will PM when I get it uploaded.
I've installed the new image and bluetooth error has gone.But I'didn't test the functionality of bluetooth at the moment.
Will check more in detail and inform you about the results. Thank you.

I want to test your ROM , where I can download it.
At the moment I use the cdroid 10 by virsys
My CPU runs at performance mode with 1600 MHz.

Over at the T550 thread, it seems that some people who are using crDroid 10 are reporting
1) camera not working
2) brightness not working
3) browser crash (that's you)
#1 and #2 work on my build. As for #3, if you are using the built in Jelly browser, I have noticed that if you open more than 4 windows, it crashes sometimes.
While not perfect, I found that smartcookieweb app works better than Jelly.

The Brave browser seems to work the most reliable. You can use Aurora store to download it from play store or try downloading brave apk somewhere.
On a daily basis, I use smartcookieweb as it has built in adblocker and suits my daily browsing needs.
@retiredtab
Both cameras works on Cdroid for me.
Yes, browsers crashes after some times, I use opera mini.
Bluetooth works for, tested sending and recive images.
GPS is not working, will try it again next time.
Magisk 21 works.
WiFi works.
Hi retiredtab,
Nice to see that anybody has try to give us an update for this fossile
Please let me knoe where can I download and test your build.
regards,

GPS is not working
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No need to retest GPS. I already know what's wrong. This is the same problem I had with the T350.
The T550 build is missing the commands
Code:
# GPS
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/samsung/msm8916-common/proprietary/lib/libloc_api_v02.so:$(TARGET_COPY_OUT_VENDOR)/lib/libloc_api_v02.so \
vendor/samsung/msm8916-common/proprietary/lib/libloc_ds_api.so:$(TARGET_COPY_OUT_VENDOR)/lib/libloc_ds_api.so
Now I did test the T550 build on my P550, but it looks like when I made the final image, some of my scripts or commits didn't get copied, like the above, over when I initially changed some P550 naming/parameters to T550.
Some background. I had only 1 hard drive for the P550 and T550 code. I did test bluetooth and gps on my P550 and both work.
After I tested everything, I then later split the P550 onto one hard drive and the T550 to another so I wouldn't get confused when compiling and making changes. I suspect now that I forgot to copy over my T350 script to fix gps and bluetooth onto the new T550 drive.
To fix gps without having to re-download another 440MB file,
1) Boot into TWRP 3.4.0.0.
2) Click Mount. Choose System.
3) On your computer, goto
proprietary_vendor_samsung/libloc_ds_api.so at lineage-17.1 · Galaxy-MSM8916/proprietary_vendor_samsung

4) Download both files above (libloc_ds_api.so and libloc_api_v02.so).
5) Goto the directory where both are saved.
6) Plug in microusb cable to tablet.
7) Then use adb to push the file using the command
Code:
$adb push libloc_api_v02.so /system/vendor/lib/libloc_api_v02.so
libloc_api_v02.so: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 7.6 MB/s (116316 bytes in 0.015s)

libloc_ds_api.so: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 29.5 MB/s (26132 bytes in 0.001s)
8) Check that both files exist.
$adb shell ls -al /system/vendor/lib/libloc_api_v02.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116316 Dec 7 2020 /system/vendor/lib/libloc_api_v02.so
$adb shell ls -al /system/vendor/lib/libloc_ds_api.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26132 Dec 7 2020 /system/vendor/lib/libloc_ds_api.so
9) Reboot into system and GPS should be work now.
I'm making a new BETA image again and before I upload it, I will retest everything again on my P550. It's a bit awkard as everything is mapped backwards on the X-axis.
I'll post here when it's up.
Well it was around 1AM in the morning when I saw the gps not working post and now it's 2:13AM. I'm just waiting for the last 5 minutes of my new build, but the host server is having major problems right now.
So I'm going to sleep and will try uploading the new image tomorrow after I retest everything with the P550 running the T550 image. Everything will be mapped backwards for me on the X-axis while testing.
Dec 21 BETA build up. Androidfilehost is having major problems so I put it up on sourceforge.net. No way I could go to sleep with this hanging over my head. It's 2:30AM. Now I'm going to sleep in tomorrow.
Dec 21 build has gps fix.
Ooh i want really like to test!
