Root Unofficial AOSP Builds

[caribo]

I have since seen issue using soundcloud where phone generally becomes unresponsive.. Other music apps seem OK though, so definitely something amiss...

tried this (from falcon)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53921433&postcount=4593&nocache=1&z=8636988247744739

not ideal friggin about with libs from other roms, but it seems to work for me.... a sticking plaster for now...

The audio.primary.msm8226.so fix worked for me too! Great stuff!

In the thread some people were complaining of the audio fix resulting in no voice in 2nd SIM on XT1033. I have only one SIM so fingers crossed!

I will monitor for any side effects.

@ShabbyPenguin ... using CM11 build #6 the Google camera application loses the ability to take panorama and photosphere pictures, which I guess is related to hardware & drivers that are present in LTE model but not in standard moto-g.

Something else to add to the LTE device tree?

yea had a long chat with somcomx from carbon team last night, gunna need to flesh out prop blobs for the peregrine as the falcon ones work alright but not perfectly.

unfortunately we hit a bit of a set back last night, we both kept trying to compile only to find out that cm broke everything for all msm8226 devices by changing stuff from CAF. it pissed dhacker off again he removed falcon from nightlies. we have some more work to do now to get it back to building and then booting but im hopeful that by monday we should have a booting build again and we can go from there

Yeah, CM for falcon isn't any good after the 21st nightly. All sound and even the phone, is broken. Can't make our receive calls.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

yea, it seems i built these nightlies for peregrine at just teh right time :/

 

[hollow021]

I got it on my phone. Looks amazing. One thing that i found out was that I didn't get the photo sphere and panorama in google camera anymore, but I get that in on the stock rom.

I tried to start porting this myself a while ago using your device tree but failed miserably at compiling CM .-.

Would you like another tester? I'd love to help

I'd help too

Oh! And if you give me build instructions I may be able to help with debugging :O

Here are some Vold logs after booting Carbon:

Looking into it now but no clue what I'm doing

Oh, I should add that in my initial attempts to build the device tree, I did a diff of stock /system and Moto G /system. These are the results: http://bpaste.net/show/FFUJOZQSav8eWa4Kp2TE/

A few things changed, like GPS and such.

 

[Nupich]

Looking at one of the recovery fstabs, it looks like it should be using /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 instead but I managed to manually mount /dev/block/vold/179:65 as well.

Weird...

One of the LG phones had a similar error and this was their fix: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/202b82a69e87906ddabd226f3c0c90c99b42ef99 but I don't know if that'll work for us.

 

[Nupich]

Aha! I think it could be that init.qcom.rc isn't creating the /storage/sdcard1 mountpoint, which means it can't be mounted there!

 

[Nupich]

Nope, that was wrong. It should be managed by vold I think. Checked the fstab too:

# specify MF_CHECK, and must come before any filesystems that do specify MF_CHECK

and reading through the docs at https://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config.html it seems to be as it should be.

I'm lost but I hope what I've gathered can help with the sdcard issues :')

EDIT:

/devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host                        auto         vfat     defaults                                             voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,migrate=target,noemulatedsd

Comparing this to a similar fstab from https://github.com/dridri/android_device_samsung_ks01lte_common/blob/master/rootdir/etc/fstab.qcom I think this should be

/devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1                        auto         vfat     defaults                                             voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,migrate=target,noemulatedsd

I tried editing the fstab directly on the device but I didn't realise the root was an initramfs produced ramdisk, which was a rather fail move on my part.

It might actually be that the sdcard1 dir is missing after all. I was missing the last example here, where they create the sdcard1 mountpoint: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html

Anyhow, enough meddling. Sorry for the spam :/

 

[Shabbypenguin]

no spam at all. as it currently stands cm merged in a bunch of stuff that broke msm8226 stuff, add to that that motos kernel was pretty much unified and worked almost flawlessly. then they tried to push out some form of kernel source for the moto g 4g and its crashing like complete ass. i havent been able to get a booting build once we updated everything, somcom3x has but shitloads of crap was broken in it.

as per regarding the fstab its set to auto for its mount point, there is something currently blocking it from mounting and not having it defined may be it, but currently we have to start all over. i was unaware that this device was going to need so many changes from the non 4g model including the gyroscope which is why photosphere etc is missing.

here is one with a modded init files following your suggestion, lemme know if it fixes sdcard

 

[hollow021]

It worked! Now the SD card is working.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

great to hear, i ha dthe fstab and storagelist working fine which is why sdcard showed up, but it was just a few lines in the init.qcom.rc that needed altering to enable mounting. everyone be sure to thank nupich

im uploading another zip now with the audio fix merged in as well, because source is broken this will just be a zip with the fixes psuhed it in as building from source is currently broken for me.

 

[hollow021]

Yay it worked. Music works now.

 

[hollow021]

Right now, the only problems are the gyroscope and random google search and system ui crashes. You've done a pretty good job. Awesome developer!!

 

[Shabbypenguin]

posted a new build from today, someone mind testing it?

ive also added a readme to the repo to help assist with building from source.

 

[hollow021]

I just installed it. What has changed?

Music is glitchy again.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

its source built which is a be key going forward and porting other roms. instead of compiling a rom and then alter it to fix it etc the fixes should be done source level.

is sdcard still working?

 

[hollow021]

Yes. sdcard is working but music is like the old one. Plays songs but when you try to change the volume it jumps around and lags.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

ok, i grabbed the stock rom and swapped out the two required libs. audio should be fixed in my next upload, i need to go through and try to figure out what blobs are needed for teh gyroscope to work.

i have fairly slow home internet so it takes about 30 mins for a build to upload so apologies on the slow goings.
