The entire top row except esc and backspace. In theory gapps should persist from install to install. If that is not working, someone may need to investigate. You do not need to re-install the recovery once you have it. I'll try to get the instructions updated. Hmm. I tried booting after flashing test6 on top of test4 and immediately got errors about google services crashing, so flashed mindthegapps again and that went away, but every google app I tried crashed until I removed and reinstalled it. I'll see what happens when test7 comes along. Edited February 25, 2020 by Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well the obvious candidates would be the two keys right of 0, so KeyFn+KeyMinus and KeyFn+KeyEqual And awesome that a new build is close. I have just promoted the FinalSample from SnapDragon to your Test6, and it generally runs really well HAH! and as I wrote this I had the first crash on the PreProd *LOL* talk about Hybris... It needed a 7-sek power press to get alive. It was at 18%, and has plummeted from 60% in five hours(!). It was idle on the desk with screen off and no internet. It seems the main culprit (according to GSAM) is [email protected] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,350 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 BTW in this thread they are talking about the screen having a green tint at low brightness. I do NOT see this in LineageOS. Have you guys added something compensating this on LineageOS, or does anyone have a good explanation? See below.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kabbone 36 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 first of all, thanks for all your effort you put in this, great work @tdm! I'm not sure if this is still an standard option in the vanilla LOS, but it was available some time ago that you can lock your device by double tapping the notification bar, is this still a thing or is there any other way to lock it without the power button? I'm using mine as a daily driver, that's why I'm still waiting a bit before changing, otherwise I would just have tested this myself. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdm 2,322 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 test7 is up. This has some missing audio libs that should make audio behave better. Please test and let me know. a2dp is still broken but other bluetooth functions seem to be okay (tested file transfer). @EskeRahn this will hopefully make [email protected] behave better. @EskeRahn no I didn't do any screen calibration that I'm aware. @Kabbone yes double tap to sleep works. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will try it immediately... *LOL* Odd that it looks so much better than stock android. I am too lazy to flash it back to stock, just to make sure it is not this unit that is magically better.... EDIT: Checked again, and the issues is there, but not at the very lowest brightness settings, And I think I got tricked by that, as the LineageOS seems to allow me to go darker, and this hides the problem also....

EskeRahn 5,350 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Installation and setup of test7 went smoothly, Thanks.

I already had the 64-bit versions of those, but apparently the 32-bit versions are also needed. What a2dp items did you find? I'm still not getting a2dp to work. 😕 @tdm The items I was just referring to were a line or 2 in the build.prop file. Also, looking at the file comparison, I noted a few additional audio libraries in the lib64 that are not present in the latest update to the vendor files (libaudioalso.so, libaoa.so and libaudio_log_utils.so). I'm guessing those are not necessary? Anyhow, I'll compile an updated vendor.img tomorrow with the changes you pushed and see how it goes.

Okay well if you could share those lines from build.prop that might help. I'll look into those audio libs... my device tree started life as a copy of the 1+5/5t device tree, which is also msm8998 so the libs list should be pretty close to accurate.

Can I include comments in the file? // or # or anything? Just to keep track of stuff easier.... I think I did the F-keys and Ins and described, and key_power on spacebar in the attached file. I'm going to test it now and see if I did it right, if so I'll edit this out to confirm it works. And, some praise! I'm finally starting to understand why you're hiding the slant-arrow keys from user and handling them this way. Your method will allow us to use standard aosp layouts, yet control Fn independently in this easy to edit keymap file. I like it. Of course I still want to remap my right slant arrow and just use the left for this functionality, but you said that's coming, so I'm very pleased.

Craig 1,435 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) I just installed test7, and gapps not happy. This also happened when I flashed test6, and to fix I flashed mindthegapps again (and then reinstalled each google app i tried one by one cuz they immediately crashed when I ran them after doing so, but flashing mindthegapps got rid of the play services stopping). I'll leave it like this overnight incase there's something I can do to debug it to help others, but phone not very usable in this state cuz even if i click close app, or waiting ~10sec for it to disappear by itself, it just pops back up.

david 914 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 How about clearing the cache and data on the play services and the google apps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Certainly worth a shot, thanks for the idea David. Other than the fact I somehow bricked myself before I had a chance to try! While it was complaining about google, I used adb root shell to copy over an updated keymap file without extra white space, to see if that solved my F6-F12 issue. Then I used the power button to select reboot. I planned to test function keys, update earlier post about keymap, and call it a night and deal with google tomorrow, perhaps after reading some advice. But it wouldn't boot. Just splash then never-ending boot animation. So I held power button, and when it finally powers off it, it turns itself back on a second later and repeats. So then I tried to get it into bootloader by holding power til it turned off then pushing voldown+power before it turned itself back on. Kept missing the timing and tried a few times (I much prefer to type adb reboot bootloader or select reboot to bootloader from the LOS advanced power menu than try these key combinations btw) and one time when I powered down, it stayed off. And wont come back on. Literal brick. If I wasn't sure I had a half full battery when I took the previous screenshot I might think no juice. I've also tried plugging it into power, nothing. Not even charge LED. Completely dead. edit: resolved As David suggested, I held buttons down a long time and it turned back on. Flashed mindthegapps and it boots again.

david 914 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Ugh. That sucks. Maybe try holding power and volume down for about 20 or 30 seconds to see if that brings it back to life. I don't know enough about how the LOS build is set up. Can you do any file copying with ADB when you are in recovery? If you can get into recovery, you could possibly mount system in recovery and use ADB to copy the previous version of the keyboard file over. I don't remember if I tried to read anything from /system with ADB when I was in recovery and connected to my computer, so I don't know that is accessible with the stock recovery. Alternatively, have these images changed anything with the fastboot mode to allow ADB through that? (doubtful) If you can get back into fastboot, then you can obviously reflash image files to the various partitions. This all assumes you can get it to boot again into recovery or fastboot mode. If not, it seems you'd have to use @tdm's EDL tool to get it back in working order? Oh, and regarding the boot loop stuff and trying to get back into fastboot mode, I think if you hold power and volume down until it powers down, you can then keep holding down volume down, but release the power button. That assumes it bounces back and powers on automatically. If it is in a mode where it isn't powering on automatically, then you can keep holding both of them, or just keep volume down pressed and press and release the power button to turn it on, but sneak in ahead of anything that is happening too fast for you to get the volume down key pressed in time (since it will have been pressed from before the power on/restart event).

david 914 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Sorry, regarding accessing /system, I thought that is where the keyboard files were. I see now that they are in /sys. I doubt you can access that from the stock recovery, unless some change has been made to it. Seems like if you can get back into fastboot, your only recourse is to flash .img files over the top of the various partitions? If there is another way you can access files when in fastboot or recovery, I'd be interested in learning about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I was putting the file in /persist/data/keyboard/ not /sys. I don't think thats related. I suspect I will have to try that tool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

david 914 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Another combo is volume up and volume down and power for a very long time. That one might be for a minute or two? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't dig in to what the property does. Just comparing the build.prop (and the libs) from the stock vendor image but I guess that doesn't mean FxTec left some unneeded cruft in there. Anyhow, I'm going to test out an updated vendor image today. I'll let you know how it goes.👍 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
