* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Known Issues (regarding latest available Stable build)
Please do not report bugs if it is already listen in the list of known issues
Current Audio HAL doesn't properly wake up audio devices from standby, causing issues with some VOIP apps. Check FAQ for Workaround -- WIP | Highest Priority -- #1
While in-call (on second call) using headphones/headset, audio could be routed to the Earpiece. Enable/Disable Speaker or Plug Out/In the Audio Jack to fix it. (Probably linked to #1) -- WIP | High Priority --
While in-call using earpiece the receiver will hear a little echo effect if volume is set to maximum. Reduce volume to fix it. -- WIP | Medium-High Priority --
After each boot Camera won't take pictures on first start. You'll need to close the app and re-open it to get Camera working. -- WIP | Medium Priority --
Wireless Display with some TVs (HDCP-dependent ones) could cause issues (AOSP bug related to HDCP. Google doesn't provide a solution) -- Unknown Status | Low Priority --
Rarely, when you wake-up the device, the touchscreen could have a noticeable input lag, easily fixable by turning off and on the display. (H/W or S/W bug?) -- Probably won't be fixed | Undefined Priority --
Reporting Bugs
First of all, read this: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs
You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.
REPORT BUGS IN THIS THREAD ONLY
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow. Note: If you can provide the latest night/build that the bug didn't exist, it would greatly help in tracking down what caused it.

What is your--
Phone model:
Radio (baseband) version:

Read carefully.
Important! Read this before any other question/doubt.
If someone doesn't like my ROMs, or doesn't like me, or even better, doesn't want to like/appreciate my works, then you can just go ahead and use/follow someone else works. Easy, not against XDA rules, and smart.
I'm not here for "fame" (or "glory" as someone in this forum said) unlike someone else, neither this is my job. I'm working on this device just because TW is far than usable (at least for me) on every Samsung device, not because someone else requested me to do it.

Differences between GearCM (Optimized CyanogenMod) and Official CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY):
Degrated Shadow said:
Enough of those dumb questions..
The Official CM rom is maintained by @Alberto96 and @intervigil
He makes the very recent changes here relating to performance...which are then in time pushed (even if partially) to CM Official Sources. The kernel is different because it has seLinux disabled and few minor tweaks you might not even notice...this GearCM ROM will have more performance. But CM will have their updated base changes which are included here with each update.
What I mean is you probably wont even notice what's different in terms of user interface. GearCM will have more performance. Official CM will have updated sources. But it will include GearCM's changes in time as @Alberto96 pushes them to CM
You can decide by a simple choice..more performance and not-nightly updated sources or similar/worse performance (improving with nightly updates) with updated sources. I would choose GearCM because of the reasons i mentioned above. Do what you will...and let this be a note to everybody who ask this again and again and again. Don't spam the thread with same question in every alternate page...because there are other people who might have different problems they need to ask. Read at least 15 previous pages and the first post Changelog before asking the question. Reading most of the times will give you a solution and if not most of the info you will read will help you anyway.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
If there a procedure that i should follow in order to have a clean base to start from?
Yes, follow this procedure and you shouldn't have any issue.
Flash latest Stock ROM Odin package | http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/55812/I9500XXUHOH7_I9500MBCHOF1_MBC | using latest Odin3 Flasher | http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3446301&d=1440131361 | and Standard (not Chinese) .pit file. | http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2343320&d=1382462885 |
After First Boot, Shutdown your device and Boot into recovery mode using 3 buttons combo (Volume +, Home, Power)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset using Volume Keys and Power Button (on Stock Recovery)
Flash latest TWRP 2.8.7.0 | https://dl.twrp.me/i9500/twrp-2.8.7.0-i9500.img.tar | using Odin3 | previously linked | (Untick Auto Reboot to avoid any issue)
Shutdown your device (pull off your battery)
Boot into recovery mode using 3 buttons combo | Volume +, Home, Power | (TWRP will boot now)
Flash latest GearRecovery (on TWRP)
Reboot into recovery mode using TWRP on-screen buttons | Home => Reboot => Recovery | (GearRecovery will boot now)
Clean completely your device (Format Data and Wipe All Partitions)
Reboot into recovery mode as did before (GearRecovery will boot again now)
Flash latest GearCM ROM
Home => Reboot => System
Where is "Developer Options" category?
To activate 'Developer Options' category in Settings you need to tap 7 times on 'Build number' located into Settings -> About Phone.
What can i do to fix VOIP audio calls?
There's not a real fix yet, so i found this useful workaround that could help you.
If you need to make a VOIP call:
1) Play something using stock music player (also third-party music players SHOULD be fine)
2) Do not pause audio playback
3) Make a call using your preferred VOIP app.
Or you can just use a Wired Headphone/Headset | BT Headphone/Headset.
This workaround should work also for incoming VOIP calls.
How can i solve problems with Hebrew language?
Go to "Developer Options" in Settings and check "Force RTL layout direction".
What can i do to reduce the "echo effect" while in-call?
Try to reduce in-call earpiece volume (if possible). Shouldn't be required on latest builds.
I'm having problems with battery life, what can i do?
1) Use "Greenify" to hibernate all apps with a "little cloud + 'Gcm' word inside" on the right of each app's name. Donation version is recommended because it allows deeper hibernation of apps
2) Disable "Location" or set it to mode "Battery Saving" (Settings -> Location)
3) Make sure that your 2G/3G mobile network signal level isn't always low or unstable
4) Deny "Wake Up" and "Keep Awake" permissions to Google and third-party apps. (Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Press menu button and check "Show built-in apps" -> Press menu button again and go to Advanced -> Horizontal Scroll to Device)
5) Disable "Sync" or sync only useful stuff like Contacts
6) Disable "Auto-rotate screen" (Settings -> Display & lights -> Rotation)
7) Use one of the latest Modem/Baseband listed on first post.
8) Disable Ambient Display
9) Install Xposed Framework and configure Amplify
If this isn't enough then replace your battery and/or reduce your phone usage. :silly:
Is GearCM OTA supported?
Yes (Since 20150707 Build)
Why is my phone over-heating while playing heavy-games or running heavy-apps?
Use a bit your brain to explain why. High CPU and GPU usage = high heat production. Your phone will automatically throttle CPU when needed so don't worry, it is safe and normal.
Can I use another kernel instead of the one included in the zip?
No. Only use the included kernel for 100% compatibility, bug reports with non-standard kernel will be ignored.
Can i disable S-View cover features (lock/unlock)?
Not yet.
*** IR Remote app isn't working anymore/was working on previous builds/causes my phone to crash, what can i do?
Contact *** IR Remote app developer.
Any question about "Can't connect to camera" issue
Do not "stress" camera because we don't use yet a proper implementation. (Exynos limited open-source env.) Just Open & Close Camera apps carefully without force-closing them. (and do not do this frequently)

Old Baseband only. New one will be supported when I will have more free time.
Only beta6.6 and above configured to use 2.6.35 kernel!
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Known bugs:
Divx/xvid playback don't work (use MoboPlayer)
Strange crash in Camera (Restore defaults in video mode)
ADW: Widgets: crash after Choose Catalog
Empty device serial number (IMEI is ok, official firmware has same bug)
6.6.1 only: zoom need to be refixed
For apps2sd use Darktremor.
If you get bootloop or stuck at LG logo do next:
Sometimes Recovery can't format /system so you need to clear /system manually. You can do it with this zip (flash as always in recovery), or in mounts menu (clockworkmod recovery only), or with adb:
1. Mount /system in recovery.
2. adb shell rm -rf /system/*
You get 1 error. This is ok.
Will update if I found this bug.

Will be great.
I did not work with debuggin android system at device, but it must be not very hard. "About Phone" bug should be simple uninitialized variable (probably MAC address of wlan0). You can try to find out it. Maybe for this you need to build "eng" or "user-debug" version. Some info about debugging here. I'l try to do this too.
Sorry mik, it is #cyanogenmod-dev . I've edited my post.
Will love to try it.
Big cheers for mik_os and others (andy572)
I was closely following other thread Lets Bake a Gingerbread.
you should explain what kind of recovery we must use to flash it!
great job mik!!!!
Mik, I cannot test it. After install it blows with FC's. Dialer, DRM Service, LgSetupWizard.
I've downloaded the zip twice, wiped everything...

Sometimes recovery can't format /system so do this manually (In mounts submenu must be "format /system").
upd: AmonRa hasn't this future
You can remove all files from there:
1. Mount /system in recovery.
2. adb shell rm -rf /system
Will update if I found this bug.
After mounting I get this error: rm: cannot remove '/system/lost+found': Directory not empty and rm: cannot remove '/system': Device or resource busy

Releases / Changelog:
1.5 (20120814):
Updated CyanogenMod source
Undo modification to camera's maximum megapixel resolution for U8180 users (due to crashes)
Switch to using newer U8180 proprietaries by default
Add-on packages for USB host mode kernel, wpa_supplicant 5 and 6 (for users to test for any differences with wifi stability; base ROM uses v6 by default), U8160 and U8180 proprietaries (to test for any changes in functionality with wifi, camera and RIL).
1.4 (final) (20120802):
Hotfix 2: kernel: revert aps-12d change due to problems with proximity sensor; update 02setuphardware script to modify camera's maximum megapixel resolution on per-device basis (2mp for U8160, 3mp for U8180).
Hotfix 1: kernel: add early suspend/resume hooks to aps-12d light sensor driver, disable unused adp5587 keypad driver; remove 1600x1200 resolution filter from Camera app; add ro.config.PicMaxSize=2mp property to build.prop, which should limit libcamera's support to 1600x1200 resolution and therefore prevent camera crashes for certain users.
Updated CyanogenMod source
Consolidate all fixes from 1.4RC release + hotfixes.
Remove RomManager from default installation. Why? I no longer distribute ROMs/updates using it, and debug logging from the app suggests that it may have potential memory leaks issues. My phone now reports 45-60MB (60-75MB without Google Sync activated) free on average after removal of this package. If RomManager is still installed after upgrading to this release, it means that you have a local update installed, which you can uninstall just like a regular user app.
Re-introduce Adriano Carrata's patches: fix PIN entry in airplane mode; add workaround for apps which specify an invalid pixel format (i.e. Sygic).
Enable speex encoder support.
Implement additional patch for security issue CVE-2011-3874. Note: this vulnerability is supposed to be patched in the framework already, but the exploit test case still reports the exploit as being available. This patch may only fix the false-positive result of the exploit test. Either way, it's useful.
1.4 RC1 (20120729):
*Note: I'm provisionally marking this as a release candidate, as I've made a lot of changes to the kernel that may have unforeseen effects for certain users. If there aren't major problems, this will be renamed to the final 1.4 release.
Hotfix 5: removed akm8973 driver (not used after all), added mma8452 driver, more kernel optimizations.
Hotfix 4: added akm8973 driver (for real this time), fixed init.rc script to set U8180 model automatically, small kernel configuration optimizations.
Hotfix 3: added fixed wifi driver to solve issues with power saving mode and resume from idle (I had forgot to include this since hotfix 1 - whoops); added akm8973 and s5ksca drivers back into kernel to fix accelerometer and camera sensors for U8180 (and some U8160) users; fixed video camera mode; removed automatic reodexing option from U8160Parts (too hacky); removed U8180 branding option from U8160Parts (ro.product.model is now adjusted for U8180 users automatically on every boot).
Hotfix 2: fix U8160 (synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564) driver
Hotfix 1: re-added missing drivers and kernel config for U8180; fixed issue in which wifi would get held in maximum power saving mode under certain circumstances.
md5: 936cc309fe0a87c01091cbd0ee5edd9c
Updated CyanogenMod source
Kernel: reworked from scratch for stability (there were some errors in my previous CodeAurora merge); fixed some issues with Huawei-specific USB code; disabled Huawei virtual CD-ROM USB driver; fixed compass driver; removed Huawei wakelock/suspend code that was causing "unknown_wakeups" wakelocks to be generated, possibly draining battery; removed many unnecessary drivers & some debug options from default kernel configuration.
Wifi: Updated bcm4329 driver - adapted from clean android-msm.2.6.39 sources, including patches from Nvidia and Huawei to support our device properly; using wpa_supplicant_6 with combo scan enabled, including a fix for resume from idle. Summary: wireless should now work on all channels (>11 had issues before), hidden SSIDs work properly, and resume from idle works properly.
Removed USB host support from default kernel (will package separately)
Disable compcache (ramzswap) by default
Changed ramzswap, CIFS and TUN (vpn) drivers to modules, moved dhd.ko from boot image to /system to reduce memory footprint of kernel.
1.3 (20120625):
md5: aabb0add99abcec1ceebb5588242358f
Updated CyanogenMod source.
Add U8160Parts settings application. New options available via Settings -> Device settings: ROM re-odexing [not recommended for people already using some form of app2sd], attenuation of speaker, headset, FM radio, Kernel Samepage Merging, Swap, Generate bug report. Removed madconfig script.
Testing some patches by ac1953: automatic resume of music after interruption by incoming call; fix FM radio pop, ensure that last used frequency is properly tuned on cold start of FM app (including my change); enable workaround for invalid PixelFormat 8 (fixes Sygic).
libaudio: add FM audio attenuation support, fix minimum in-call volume causing sound to mute completely.
Resolve battery drain cause by kernel configuration in previous release (CONFIG_FB_EARLYSUSPEND has issues with suspend in Gingebread).
Revert to original bcm4329 driver (from Huawei U8180 source drop) with increased dhd_watchdog_ms period; disable combo scanning in supplicant to fix hidden networks; ensure that dhcpcd server is always stopped when wpa_supplicant is stopped. Testing to see if this improves battery usage, and/or resolves the problem with connecting to networks beyond channel 11.
[release candidate] (20120616):
Updated CyanogenMod source.
Kernel: disable framebuffer console (ANDROID text), instead transitioning directly from egg-timer (or bootsplash image, if installed) to CyanogenMod bootanimation - may improve battery
Kernel: enable USB Host mode (support modules are installed to /system/lib/modules/) - needs testing from users with OTG adaptors
Kernel: enable Kernel Samepage Merging, switch from console-based earlysuspend to framebuffer-based earlysuspend - may improve battery
New libaudio from Adriano Carrata with audio attenuation support, improved AudioFilter.csv - completely solves audio distortion
Switch to open source gralloc module (fixed - video decoders now work properly)
Fix issue in which framebuffer earlysuspend could sometimes cause the screen not to wake properly.
v1.2 (20120403):
Updated CyanogenMod source.
New kernel (based on latest CodeAurora froyo_almond branch).
Enable workaround to reduce audio distortion at higher volume levels.
Completely fixed instability/freezes related to USB tethering.
Various patches for memory leaks and minor bugs from gerrit.
v1.1 (20120317):
Hotfix 1: disable CGROUPS, fix wireless suspend stability issue
Updated CyanogenMod source - version 7.2.0-RC1
Cherry-picked various patches from gerrit to fix issues with core binaries/libraries (dalvik, bionic, zlib, etc.)
Kernel: reverted to stable 2.6.32.9 kernel due to issues with battery consumption. Note: CGROUPS is still enabled, but the Application Not Responding issue on first boot seems to be fixed
Kernel: disabled OTG support due to battery consumption issues (will package a separate kernel for interested testers)
Kernel: updated pmem driver, fixed issues with smartassV2 & interactiveX CPU governors
Wifi: stability patch for bcm4329 driver
wpa_supplicant_6: wait for control interface monitor to be brought up before starting. Improves reliability of wireless when reconnecting from idle.
libaudio: fix for minimum in-call volume being incorrectly muted in certain cases (such as on speakerphone)
GPS: use worldwide SUPL server by default
Compcache: back to 18%
ADWLauncher: lock action buttons by default (helps avoid cases in which users accidentally detach the icons for these buttons)
Change scrolling cache setting to further improve scrolling speed
v1.0 (20120227):
Known issue: you may see the message "process system is not responding" after unlock on first boot. This is due to CGROUPS being enabled in the kernel (and also happens with the stock kernel - it's not a problem with my updates). You can safely disregard the message as no harm will be done.
Hotfix 1test1 [8th March]: Changes to kernel to fix battery drain - please test.
Updated CyanogenMod source.
Kernel: now using version 2.6.32.57 (Code Aurora's froyo_almond updates + upstream's longterm 2.6.32.y updates merged)
Kernel: new bcm4329 wifi driver, which should fix reconnect from idle for hidden networks
Kernel config: enabled CGROUPS, tweaks to improve battery usage
Scrolling cache tweak.
v0.9 (20120203):
Hotfix 4test5 [21 Feb]: Revert longterm patches due to random reboot issue.
Hotfix 4test4 [21 Feb]: Kernel: fix screen not turning back on from suspend, other small fixes.
Hotfix 4test3 [20 Feb]: Kernel: rebased to CodeAurora froyo_almond branch & merged longterm 2.6.32.57 changes, updated wifi source driver.
Hotfix 3 [12 Feb]: Kernel: more stable config (enabled ARMv6 K extensions which stops USB errors; fix for U8180 key issues).
Hotfix 2 [10 Feb]: Fix call audio via Bluetooth headset; disabled AHB overclocking due to instability during USB tethering (and possibly also during other activities); wifi module now built from source to improve reliability; updated wpa_supplicant_6 to use combo scanning; re-enabled SCHED_HRTICK in config (it wasn't the cause of instability).
Hotfix 1: Fix audio routing issues that were causing problems with the mic and headset detection during calls. This may or may not affect the Bluetooth headset bug - please let me know.
Updated CyanogenMod source (almost 7.2.0-RC1).
Performance: disable scrolling cache (prevents lag)
Performance/battery: disable ICS rotation animation (it's slow and causes instability; ICS transition animations are still working smoothly)
Performance/battery: updated android staging kernel drivers from 2.6.35 kernel (notably bringing improvements to the lowmemorykiller driver)
Performance/stability: moved to stable copybit version
Stability: rebuilt kernel using 4.4.3 toolchain from CM7 source.
Stability: kernel audio driver patches to prevent rare blackscreen during incoming calls/low memory conditions
Stability: further updates to latest CAF libaudio version with FM routing code added. Bluetooth calling should work again, but needs testing.
Battery: added 2g/3g mobiledata switch option (allows you to use the mobiledata statusbar button to switch between 2g/3g network modes).
Fancy: enable electron beam animation for screen off by default (performance is satisfactory)
Reverted SIM lock change that was causing people to have problems with certain SIM cards.
FM: fixed audio routing (headphones will not longer malfunction if you use the speaker and then exit the FM app); prevent frequencies out of bounds being used; allow looping between the top/bottom of the frequency bands.
Improved mac address generator script to prevent errors for certain devices.
Increased default compcache memory allocation to 26%.
Miscellaneous code cleanups.
Now distributed via ROM Manager with a greatly simplified installation procedure.
v0.8 - 26 January 2012:
Updated CyanogenMod source (still 7.2.0-RC0).
Fix for rare issue where notification area items can get "stuck", causing notifications to malfunction.
Now includes ICS rotation and transition animations (merged officially into CM7.2)
Wifi: disable wpa_supplicant_6's combo scan to fix reconnect/hidden SSID issues
Bluetooth: disable master mode to increase reliability with some peripherals
libaudio: code cleanup (based on rmcc's geeksphone zero); removed dependency on proprietary liba2dp.so
ADWLauncher: allow rotation of home screen by default
Kernel: re-enable multitouch support (oops)
Init: reduce default mmcblk0 readahead from 2MB -> 258KB to avoid potential lag.
The phone is no longer restricted when network locked and using a different SIM card.
Small cleanups.
v0.7 - 22 January 2012:
Updated CyanogenMod source (still 7.2.0-RC0).
Kernel stability fix (disabled SCHED_HRTICK due to instability/random reboot issue).
MAC addresses for Bluetooth and wifi are now accurate.
Improved Bluetooth audio.conf based on this bug report. This should improve Bluetooth stability with audio peripherals.
Reduced default compcache memory usage from 18% -> 10% to reduce potential lag.
Reduce LatinIME landscape keyboard key height (.25in -> .23in)
Use automatic brightness setting by default.
v0.6 - 29 December 2011:
Hotfix 2 [31 December 2011]: Updated "madconfig" script. You can now run adb shell madconfig u8180 to activate U8180 ROM branding that will survive future ROM upgrades (of my own release).
Hotfix 1 [31 December 2011]: Updated kernel (further stability fixes, added interactiveX cpu scheduler, unlocked overclock frequencies up to 768Mhz); updated libaudio to increase buffer size (this improves smoothness of apps using audio - e.g., Gensoid can now play games at full 50/60fps in landscape with no visual stuttering @633Mhz, whereas before it would stutter constantly); renamed tethering device from usb -> rndis (cosmetic fix); tweaked LatinIME keyboard to use .23in key height (down from .26in).
Updated CyanogenMod source (7.2.0-RC0).
Kernel: rebuilt using latest stable linaro gcc release: 4.5-2011.11
Kernel: fixed phone freeze issue when USB tethering is interrupted. This change also seems to reduce general system lag that was being caused by a conflict in the USB drivers.
Kernel: fixed "back" softkey alignment.
Kernel: fixed touchscreen right edge sensitivity issue (portrait).
Renamed wifi device from eth0 -> wlan0 for better consistency.
Re-enabled surface dithering by default; it has been reported that font rendering is improved with this option enabled, and I don't see much performance impact when enabled.
Experimental build.prop tweak to enable 3mp camera support (untested).
v0.5 - 10 November 2011:
Updated CyanogenMod source.
Partial fix for third-party camera apps (e.g. barcode scanners).
v0.4 - 21 October 2011:
Hotfix 2 [23 October 2011]: Updated device permissions. This fixes the sound recorder and camcorder.
Hotfix 1 [21 October 2011]: Reverted to v5 wpa_supplicant. This solves the issue in which wifi refuses to connect to hidden SSIDs.
Updated CyanogenMod source.
Included some patches to bring further improvements to 2D graphics & general system performance.
Patched framework to swap volume controls when the phone is rotated 90 degrees.
Improve USB transfer speed while in UMS (USB Mass Storage) mode.

Switched to EU GPS servers.
Fixed headset/media control keys.
Re-enabled automatic brightness.
v0.2 - 3 October 2011:
Hotfix 3 [6 October 2011]: Kernel: reverted to stable compcache (ramzswap) driver. Framework: disabled JNI debugging -this fixes force-close errors in some applications such as TapFish, and increases overall system performance.
Hotfix 2 [4 October 2011]: Kernel: improved multitouch driver to fix touchscreen accuracy (especially soft keys), improved haptic feedback, fix to zram module. Small fixes to libaudio (the distortion is not yet resolved, however).
Hotfix 1 [3 October 2011]: Kernel: added compcache (zram.ko) module, reduced boot delay, unlocked 729Mhz frequency, small bugfixes. Framework: enable compcache by default (18% RAM usage, customizable in CyanogenMod Settings - Performance -> Compcache RAM Usage.)
Updated CyanogenMod source: now based on Gingerbread version 2.3.7.
Kernel now supports under/overclock from 30Mhz - 710Mhz (min/max frequency is set to 30Mhz - 600Mhz by default, so you must manually activate the higher frequencies via Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Performance -> CPU settings). Thanks to estebanSannin. NOTE: My phone is very unstable at 691Mhz, and freezes immediately at 710Mhz. I am providing these higher frequencies just in case your phone has better tolerance for overclocking. I accept no responsibility for any damage caused as a result of overclocking.
FM Radio app: fixed seeking (left/right arrows).
Disabled automatic brightness (it potentially avoids battery drain, and never worked anyway). Thanks to tas0s for the tip.
Enable workaround to prevent corruption issues if you use the Simple2EXT app2sd app.
Reverted Gallery app to 2D version, due to lack of hardware 3D acceleration on our phone.
Added compatibility with sebastian404's ClockworkMod port. You can now install this ROM using his CWM recovery (as well as my own).
Improved FM volume calculation, reduced overall volume & small fixes to audio code.
Various small bugfixes.
v0.1 - 12 September 2011:
Hotfix 1 [18 September 2011]: Boot: removed custom lowmemorykiller tweaks; kernel: various updates (smartassV2, TinyRCU, Simple and V(R) IO schedulers), bugfixes and optimizations, changed default scheduler to Simple IO; libaudio: code cleanup; Framework: enabled hardware-accelerated 2D rendering.
First release. All hardware appears to be working correctly.

Kernel: https://github.com/psyke83/kernel_huawei_u8160
Device: https://github.com/psyke83/android_device_huawei_u8160
Getting started with ROM Manager & ClockworkMod
Skip to Part B if you have already rooted your phone.
a) Rooting your phone
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development. Enable the option USB debugging, and wait for the debugging drivers to be automatically installed onto your PC.
On your PC, download the latest release of super1click.
Run super1click and click the Root button. Follow all of the prompts given by the application, but make sure that you choose yes to the prompt on whether to install busybox.
Continue to the next part when your phone is successfully rooted.
b) Installing ROM Manager & ClockworkMod
Install ROM Manager from the Google Play store.
Open the ROM Manager application. Choose the option Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and confirm the phone model as Huawei U8160.
After downloading the recovery image, a Superuser prompt will ask you for permission for the application to have root access. You should Allow this action.
ClockworkMod should now be flashed to your phone.
Known issues
Excessive bass/distortion at >70% volume - workaround in v1.2.
Technical details:
Kernel 2.6.32:
CPU & AHB overclock supported up to 768Mhz, but default frequencies (122-600Mhz) are used by default for safety/stability reasons
Built-in support for CIFS, TUN, compcache (ramzswap)
Multitouch Synaptics touchscreen driver
Added extra CPU schedulers: interactiveX, smartassV2 (default)
Added extra IO schedulers: BFQ, VIO, SIO (default)
Updated Android staging drivers from 2.6.35 kernel
Patches to improve CyanogenMod compatibility (e.g. USB tethering)
Various other stability & performance patches.
Before you ask...
I have no interest or intention to further "mod" the ROM with any kind of hacks or customizations (like custom apps, themes, Swype, etc.). My only aim is to have a 100% stable port of Cyanogen code. Any such requests will be ignored.
Reporting bugs
You must follow these instructions exactly, or I will ignore your requests. Provide the following information:
The version of the ROM you are using (to confirm that you have the latest release)
Report any customizations you have made to the ROM (themes, system apps, etc.)
Describe the problem clearly, including steps on how I can reproduce the issue.
Provide a logcat from your system taken just after the issue has occurred. To take a logcat, you enter this command from your PC: adb shell logcat -d >c:\logcat.txt. Copy and paste this log to pastebin.com, and provide the link.
If I ask you to re-test the issue after a data-wipe, do the following: reboot into ClockworkMod, perform a full backup, then data-wipe, reboot and retest the issue, giving a new log if necessary. You can then reboot into ClockworkMod and restore your data backup.
Alternate download location: I would prefer if everybody used the ROM Manager application to download & install my ROMs. If you need to download from the PC, however, you can use this link.
Troubleshooting Battery:
In order to help me to troubleshoot issues with battery usage, please follow these instructions:
Charge your phone to 100% battery.
Use your phone normally for as long as possible (ideally, 12 hours) without plugging the phone into your PC or main charger for the entire test period.
When the test period has ended, plug in the phone and immediately take a "dumpstate" log:
Code:
adb shell dumpstate >dumpstate-u81x0-yournickname.log
Upload the log file to pastebin.com or multiupload.com
Provide a brief summary of your general usage during the test period, such as: wifi usage and sleep policy, 3g/data usage, approx time spent on calls/games/idle, any information you may think is helpful to troubleshoot battery drains.
I'm trying your rom and is good but i have not found FMRadio..... Sorry i found.
can i test this mod on a U8180? the hardware seems almost identical
For real? My girlfriend has this phone, and she has been jealous of the CyanogenMod on my Optimus One ever since I installed it. This should make her happy!
She currently uses the SmartLucky 2.2 Rom developed at androidworld.it, did you work on that too / reuse some of their mods or is this an independent job?
I'll get it flashed for her tomorrow probably and let you know if there are any problems.
Request for info: since this is a low end phone, how much free memory is there after flashing, and (roughly) how does it perform vs stock? I noticed a big jump from stock froyo to CyamogenMod 7 on my O1, but not as much of an improvement from stock froyo to SmartLucky, but then that is also based on a stock froyo rom...
Thanks a lot for this!!
Hi! I just bought a Huawei U8180 (called Gaga here) and am new to the android world. I have a lot of questions... First I want to thank you for this "ROM".
My first question is: "How to root the Huwaei U8180?" I tried AndRoot, ZRoot, ... none of them worked... And, after rooting, how can I install a ROM on it? And finally, will this ROM be compatible with my U8180? Thanks very much.

The framework part should work, but you'll most likely need to change the kernel and wifi modules in boot.img to match your device.

I'm not sure about rooting - on my other phone I used Super1Click (but I almost never touch stock ROMs). I already replied to someone else - you'll most likely need to change the kernel for this ROM to work...

This is built entirely from source; SmartLucky's ROM is based on the stock ROM with "hacks" (I don't mean that in a bad way - I just mean that no source compilation / recompilation is involved). I used the Ideos Dev Team's CyanogenMod device overlay to begin my port, as the hardware is very similar.
I'll get it flashed for her tomorrow probably and let you know if there are any problems.

Memory usage will always be higher on a Gingerbread ROM (which CM7.1 is based on) compared to Froyo. First boot is a bit slower than Froyo due to comparatively more services being executed, but once it's loaded, in my opinion, performance is as good or better than Froyo. Just keep in mind that SmartLucky's kernel is overclocked - mine is not (yet).
I completed the port in two days, and released just under 2 days ago, so I haven't exhaustively tested everything yet. I've switched back to stock to try to reverse-engineer the stock FM radio's code. There may be some problems, but I will be maintaining the port and releasing fixes to any issues encountered.
I installed this on my U8180 and it works amazingly well. Didn't have to change a single thing.
Wifi, GPS, camera, hardware and touch buttons all work.
It does take a little longer to boot but once it is running it is much more responsive.
Only found one issue so far and that is with LauncherPro having to be force closed occasionally, also it has to reload after quitting out of an app.

Well, that's interesting...
The slow boot seems to be a kernel bug (it's continually trying to mount a virtual .iso file at /data/cdrom/autorun.iso, which doesn't exist). I'll try to remove this code from the kernel in the next release.
So if it works with u8180 can you please explain how to install it step by step? I am a total noob please i really need your help i know nothing about rooting and custom roms, please give me a minute of your time and help me install this custom rom... your help will be a lot appreciated because there are absolutely no guides about u8180 on the whole net.
I rooted my 8180 using SuperOneClick. Google it. Very easy to use. Put your phine in USB debug mode. Settings > Apps > Development.
I then loaded the Amon RA recovery using the ADB method. I can't post linkks here yet but just search for "[RECOVERY] : ClockworkMod Recovery for Vodafone Smart/Huawei U8160" and its on Modaco. That page has links to all the download files you'll need. Pick recovery-RA-u8160-v2.3.img and copy it to your SD card. Also have a copy of the new ROM on your SD card.
When using the ADB method make sure to change the file name in the last couple of steps to match the one you downloaded.
Once that it done make a nand backup of your phone from recovery. Vol Up and Down to change option and Power to select.
Once that is done you use the option to flash from zip on SD card. Select the right file from your SD and let it do its thing and then reboot.
The first boot can take quite a while, but once you see the Cyanogen bootscreen you should be good.
Hopefully that makes sense.
YAY!! I rooted it! thanks very very much! Had an issue with drivers but found this : theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/
Reported Issues:
Issue: It gets stuck on waiting for device…
Solutions: Try these solutions, starting with the first then retry, then the second and retry, and so on until it works.
1. Check to make sure USB debugging is checked on in Settings > Applications > Development.
2. Close the rooting program. Turn off your phone (keeping it still plugged in). Open the rooting program and click root. Then turn on your phone and see if it continues.
3. Close the program and unplug the phone. Download and install PDANet and follow it’s on screen directions to get it to install the drivers manually for your phone. Once it is done installing, plug the phone in and reopen the rooting program.
4. If that still doesn’t work, then go to our How To Setup ADB Procedure, finish it and return here to start over.

The SmartLucky ROM does feel a bit hacky and comes with too many unnecessary apps preinstalled in my opintion.

Do you have any recommendations for App management with this ROM? I use Link2SD, can I assume this won't be a problem on the compiled kernel?

That's pretty darn fast! I had been thinking of trying something like this myself, I just hadn't got round to it yet, work is very busy this week, but we've only had the phone a couple of weeks anyway.
Thanks!
WOAHO!!! Installed cyanogen on the huawei gaga u8180!
THANKS VERY MUCH subpsyke AND bradstewart!!! You're the best guys!!!
So, here is what I exactly did:
1 . Disconnected the phone, installed PdaNet for the drivers
2 . Downloaded SuperOneClick, connected the phone, Setting > Apps > Developpers > Enabled usb debugging and rooted it.
3 . Got fastboot.exe AND AdbWinApi.dll from the Android SDK zip, got recover.img from megaupload.com/?d=IK2UYQF9 , put them all in a directory called fastboot and placed it in C:/ (wich makes C:/fastboot) runned CMD and typed:
Code:
cd C:/fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
4 . Once recovery installed, picked adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll from SuperOneClick zip file and put them in a folder called adb and put it on C:/ (wich makes C:/adb/). Opened CMD and typed:
Code:
cd C:/adb
adb shell reboot recovery
5 . Now, in recovery mode, I backed up the system then rebooted the phone, took the backup directory from the SD card and put it in a safe place.
6 . Placed the "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-u8160-v0.1-signed" zip file (downloaded from the first post on this thread) on the SD card
7 . Another time, runned CMD and typed
Code:
cd C:/adb
adb shell reboot recovery
then installed the ROM
8 . Cyanogen screen is here!
I don't know if I'll have other issues because I think it took 5 minutes until now and still booting... I'll give you updates.
EDIT: I had to wipe my data (something that I forgot) and also installed google apps for the android market
NOW MY PHONE IS BLAZING FAST AND RESPONSIVE, EVERYTHING RUNS SMOOTHLY AND I ALSO GOT THE ARABIC SUPPORT YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING I LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE YOUUUUUU!!!!!!

@ wassgha and subpsyke
sorry for my bad english
rooting and clockwork recovery (android.modaco.com/topic/341329-recovery-clockworkmod-recovery-for-vodafone-smarthuawei-u8160/) works fine.
but i get errors at "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-u8160-v0.1-signed" zip file
screen output:
Finding update package...
opening update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop/"ro.products.device" == "u8160"
...... etc. etc. ........
Installation aborted.
toggle signature verification and scripts make no difference for me. my noob "hacking" build.prop not working
had to try this on the vodafone smart tested all the functions so far and had no problems at all very good work mate the rom runs smooth and all.
The only thing that is bugging me is that the google apps package does not install gmail, youtube, maps etc maybe i am doing it wrong it just only install the market
the steps i did was
a) create recovery (worked fine)
b) wipe data / cache and install rom (worked fine)
c) same as rom select zip from sd card chose the package for google apps that is compatible with cm7 and installed
i then booted the phone and connected my phone had to choose the packages but it will not install gmail, maps etc it says there not in market any ideas how to fix this problem mate

Repartitioning Instructions
As of the February 26th update, I have virtually repartitioned the ROM. This means that you will now have 11GB of internal storage to install applications, and 2GB of system space to install any size Google Apps package that you want. Finally, no more storage space issues!
In order to install the February 26th update and newer updates, you must follow these instructions to virtually repartition your device. Note that this means your phone will not be actually repartitioned, so there is almost no chance that this process could brick or damage your device. After you have virtually repartitioned your phone, you will not be able to flash any other ROMs at all except for the February 26th update and newer versions of my ROM. The reason for this is that the special TWRP recovery I made for the new partition layout only allows you to flash ROMs that use the new partition layout. If you want to use a ROM that uses the original Samsung partition layout then you will need to flash a different recovery, and you must back up (nandroid) and restore your data manually.
If this is your very first time ever installing this ROM then skip step 6. After you have completed repartitioning once, you will not have to do it again unless you switch back to a ROM that doesn't use my partition layout (in other words, a ROM that does not have 11GB of internal app storage space).
Repartitioning instructions:
Materials:
Latest official TWRP recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58852726&postcount=1109
Data-transfer package: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934535406
Newest version of my TWRP recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=26971&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
If anything goes wrong for you at any time then you can simply reboot your phone normally to get back into CyanogenMod.
Install the latest OFFICIAL TWRP recovery for your device (it is very important that you install the official version, NOT my version).
Reboot into TWRP recovery.
Go to Backup and make sure only Data is checked, then make a back up (this backup will ONLY be needed if something goes wrong later on; it's important, so don't delete it!).
Back up EVERYTHING on your internal SD card to your computer (the internal SD card WILL BE ERASED in the next step).
In TWRP, go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> check Internal Storage -> press on "Repair or Change File System" -> press on "Change File System" -> press on "EXT4", and then swipe to start formatting the internal SD card. This can take up to a minute.
(SKIP THIS STEP IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME EVER INSTALLING CYANOGENMOD 12) Copy the data-transfer package to your device and then flash it. This will copy everything from /data to /sdcard (since /sdcard will become /data).
Copy the newest version of my TWRP recovery to your device and flash it.
After that is finished, go back to the main menu, then go to Reboot and press on Recovery.
Once the device has rebooted back into TWRP recovery, flash the new ROM and then flash your Google Apps package.
Reboot normally (back into CM12).
Connect your phone to your computer and copy back your backed-up internal SD card data to the internal SD card.
Repartitioning is completed. Enjoy your 8GB of additional app storage space.
Undoing the virtual repartitioning:
If you would like to undo this process (so you can flash a different ROM), see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59093149&postcount=611
This is good news i was wondering if lolipop willmake it to the skyrocket. Thanks sultan illwait till its stable
@Sultanxda, how did you get past the sepolicy errors? Or if you wouldn't mind, would you post your changes in the Rookie thread? Thanks man!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who choose to flash this, it takes a while to install and boot. But it DOES boot up.
Omg! This is like Christmas morning! Lol. Incredible!
Thank you Sult!
What would I have to do to be and to flash this on the Hercules?
Edit: Never mind, I found the thread in the Hercules dev section. Please see my bug reports there.

Well you weren't kidding when you said everything is broken that's for sure. Literally everything! lol
Incredible nonetheless though. The animations are amazing. I could open and close the app drawer all day . Really is a lot of fun to use. Can't wait for this.
Thanks so much

Just delete the local sepolicy from the msm8660 tree and remove 3 folders whose names start with "sepolicy" from OUT/ETC
Our local sepolicy will just keep giving you more and more errors so I ditched it.
I'm not going to post my changes for now because everything is a hugeeeeee mess. My device trees aren't even properly set up to build autonomously (I had to make extensive changes by hand in the ROM zip in order to get it booting).

Took some time to install but booted up without issues.
Nice first taste, if only radio worked I would have used it a little longer.

Known Issues (regarding latest available Stable build)
Please do not report bugs if it is already listen in the list of known issues
Rarely, when you wake-up the device, touchscreen will have a noticeable input lag, easily fixable by turning off and on the display. (H/W or S/W bug?)
Wireless Display with some TVs could cause issues (AOSP bug related to HDCP, and Google doesn't provide a solution)
Video Stream through Screencast & Wireless Display will have inverted Red and Blue color channels due to BGR Pixel Format (actual Exynos sources don't allow to fix it)
Any Chinese (CHN, I9500XCUxxx codename) Baseband/Modem reduces Call Quality (due to forced AMR_WB, unsupported by CHN modems)
5GHz Wi-Fi Networks using Band B (52-140) and Band C (149-161) channels won't be listed (H/W or S/W bug?)
Reporting Bugs
You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.
REPORT BUGS IN THIS THREAD ONLY
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow. Note: If you can provide the latest night/build that the bug didn't exist, it would greatly help in tracking down what caused it.

Read carefully.
Differences between GearCM (Optimized CyanogenMod) and Official CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY):
Degrated Shadow said:
Enough of those dumb questions..
The official CM rom is maintained by @Alberto96 and @intervigil
He makes the very recent changes here relating to performance.. which are then in time pushed to CM official rom. The kernel is different because it has selinux disabled and few minor tweaks you might not even notice.. this gearcm rom will have more performance. But CM rom will have their updated base changes which are included here with each update.
What I mean is you probably wont even notice what's different in terms of user interface.. gearcm will have more performance. Official cm will have updated sources. But it will include gearcm's changes in time as @Alberto96 pushes them to CM
You can decide by a simple choice. more performance and not-nightly updated sources or similar performance (improving with nightly updates) with updated sources. I would choose gearcm because of the reasons I mentioned above. Do what you will.. and let this be a note to everybody who ask this again and again and again. Don't spam the thread with same question in every alternate page.. Because there are other people who might have different problems they need to ask. Read atleast 15 previous pages and the first post changelog before asking the question. Reading most of the times will give you a solution and if not most of the info you will read will help you anyway.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
Where are "Performance" and "Developer Options" categories?
To activate 'Performance' and 'Developer Options' categories in Settings you need to tap 7 times on 'Build number' located into Settings -> About Phone.
How can i solve problems with Hebrew language?
Go to "Developer Options" in Settings and check "Force RTL layout direction".
What can i do to reduce the "echo effect" while in-call?
Try to reduce in-call earpiece volume (if possible).
I'm having problems with battery life, what can i do?
1) Use "Greenify" to hibernate all apps with a "little cloud + 'Gcm' word inside" on the right of each app's name. Donation version is recommended because it allows deeper hibernation of apps
2) Disable "Location" or set it to mode "Battery Saving" (Settings -> Location)
3) Make sure that your 2G/3G mobile network signal level isn't always low or unstable
4) Deny "Wake Up" and "Keep Awake" permissions to Google and third-party apps. (Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Press menu button and check "Show built-in apps" -> Press menu button again and go to Advanced -> Horizontal Scroll to Device)
5) Disable "Sync" or sync only useful stuff like Contacts
6) Disable "Auto-rotate screen" (Settings -> Display & lights -> Rotation)
7) Use one of the latest Modem/Baseband listed on first post.
8) Disable Ambient Display
9) Install Xposed Framework and configure Amplify
If this isn't enough then replace your battery and/or reduce your phone usage. :silly:
Is GearCM OTA supported?
Yes (Since 20150707 Build)
Why is my phone over-heating while playing heavy-games or running heavy-apps?
Use a bit your brain to explain why. High CPU and GPU usage = high heat production. Your phone will automatically throttle CPU when needed so don't worry, it is safe and normal.
Can I use another kernel instead of the one included in the zip?
No. Only use the included kernel for 100% compatibility, bug reports with non-standard kernel will be ignored.
Can i disable S-View cover features (lock/unlock)?
Not yet.
*** IR Remote app isn't working anymore/was working on previous builds/causes my phone to crash, what can i do?
Contact *** IR Remote app developer.
Any question about "Can't connect to camera" issue
Do not "stress" camera on CM because we don't use yet a proper implementation. Open/Close Camera apps carefully without force-closing them.
fix stock camera try flash this zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2a7hegwzu9ft2c/Fix_Camera_Cmmct_5.0.zip?dl=0
Been using lollipop as a daily driver with awesome results. But still there's something that bugs me. Although GPS works fine I find that its accuracy is pretty low.
For instance I run in order to keep fit. I use adidas miCoach which calculates your speed and distance covered giving as result km speed (from Argentina). GPS has a hard time keeping up with this and every time I train I revert to TW and then back to Lollipop.
Will test this GPS and see if its better than team Cajinica
does this rom have working bluetooth calls over car stereo?

Great. Downloading now[emoji1]
"App not installed" if manually install an apk.
Is there any workaround?
@Alberto96 haven't test it on GearCM 11. I'll try and report back asap
Can't install apks.
Although pushing apks to system works. Titanium backup in not able to restore as well.
Edit: I guess Titanium Backup does work. Not with the default superuser though. I flashed supersu to get it working in frapeti's rom, strange.

With GearCM 11 latest build GPS is pretty accurate. Used Waze while driving and miCoach while walking and had good results.
Further testing done with the build posted (20141216) I can't access SD card to install apks that are not from playstore for example BBS, and getting the low memory message even if full wiped and fresh installed.
Can't install APK in this Build ...
Storage Issues
@Alberto96 Hey man there seems to be an issue with your Kernel please take a look at the changes u made as they seem to be the cause of peope not being able to install any APKS and Install from playstore as its complaining about the storage being low so what i did is compile with CM kernel and tested it and the GearCm works fine without any storage issues but if I compile it using ur GearCm Kernel thats where theres storage issues. Please take a look at it
Thanks for your time and dedication of this Alberto. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time with your CM12 Releases
With CM12-20141212v2 (I did a clear wipe) and no RIL Service. So I was not able to use it basically...
Today I gave it a second try CM12-20141216 . I was happy to see my 3G Connection. But when I started to download the app from Play Store. It was impossible. All APKS giving an error.
I will test Canjica Version. It's a pity but I will have to wait till we get to a stable version of Android 5.0.1 with GearCM12.
Despite of that, Thanks for your work on this! We wouldn't have this if it wasn't because of you
Heads Up
Brilliant to have 5.0 on our phones, look and feel is really cool.
Confirmed Working:
Calls, SMS, Internet (WIFI & 3G), Camera, Gallery
FC's:
Music, File manager, Play store (all google apps) & anything else which is on the SD card
Keep it up guys:good:
Application not installed?
thanks for update 12\21 @Alberto96 ...but issue with installing apk is here.
New build is coming with some fixed, especially performance related.
New build is up!
Enjoy

Release notes :
RR builds are now in sync with latest lineage 04/30/2022 release, RR builds include FaceUnlock and system info overlay
I have also moved to releasing everything on sourceForge, and ive made Bootloader / modem update packages for those who need it, Head over to WiKi for instructions
20220421 Lineage Release notes :
Hey everyone! Glad to be back again for another release, This one has been in development for couple months now, and comes with massive upgrades and improvements, the most major is a full transition into Exynos7420 Oreo graphics drivers, which modernizes our device graphics stack significantly, and finally allows us to use proper OMX media codecs which solves many issues including the dreaded low quality playback! (You no longer need to flash FakeDeviceInfo)
Further more the new GPU driver significantly boosts performance in games and UI which is always a welcome (including fixing graphical glitches in games)
Other major fixes include full encryption support, Please refer to Updated TWRP to perform first time encryption setup, i must warn however, Encryption might interfere with future rom flashes, so only use it if you can keep your data backed up, as it will fully deny you access to it from TWRP.
This release also includes fixes for the random reboots, and Audio leakage, sadly this does not address the tiny microphone quality, so that remains an issue, Please refer to bugs for an uptodate bug list and instructions on how to easily report new issues
Big thanks to @ISoreo and @TrisTanster for a ton of help with testing

F.A.Q And Notes
Q : How to use Encryption ?
A : First, head over to TWRP Thread And follow the notes for First time encryption setup (this involves formatting internal storage while using that twrp, This is mandatory as previous twrps did not create proper partition state for encryption), Then head over to settings > security > encryption > Encrypt Phone, the phone will reboot once or twice
Warning : Encryption will prevent TWRP from reading your internal storage at all, And encryption is very sensitive, any untested customization or mods might brick the ROM, and putting your data at risk, only use if required
UPDATE : You will bootloop if you did not set PIN/lockscreen in setup wizard before encrypting
Q : How to Tune for Performance or battery life ?
A : Latest release offers proper Power profiles which can be adjusted in Settings > Battery > EnergySaver and Performance. The slider will adjust MAX CPU frequency as follows,
Power saving Big: 1.4GHz Little: 1.0GHz
Balanced: Big: 1.7GHz Little: 1.3GHz
Performance: Big: 1.9GHz Little: 1.4GHz
Q: N910H wont detect SIM / network
A: This is due to it trying to force LTE, Go to settings > network > mobile networks And change preferred network type to 3G, then enable and disable Airplane Mode. Here is a Video by @mvrul2k20 to explain the procedure
Q : Korean variants (S/L/K) have tube / robotic audio in calls
A : this bug is unfixable for now as those models rely on stock audio hardware effects to fix this issue, but we cant use that and open source H/W does not support them
Q : How to enable android 10 gestures
A : First you need to enable navigation bar (this will disable touchkeys) then go to gesture settings and enable full screen gestures
Q : Recommended camera app to use ?
A : This Google Camera : Download or Footej2 from the play store
Q : When registering FP, i dont see progress or vibration
A : It is fine, keep enrolling your finger, and at the end it will show you pass. this seems to only happen with first enrollment
Q: Whenever I try flashing any lineage- build, I get the following error in TWRP: Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
A: Update your TWRP to 3.2.3 or higher available Here or newer
Q : Device is too warm
A : After first boot that is common, let the phone finish setting up and cool down
Q : How to get google apps ?
A : Go to Opengapps.org . Select ARM > 10 > [your choice] and flash opengapps*.zip after the ROM.zip
Q : How to get Root ?
A : Flash Magisk Root From Here (Recommended version 23.0 for better MagiskHide)
Q : How to tune the kernel ?
A : use HKTweaks app from @corsicanu : Github

cant seem to install this ROM
Newbie here ; So i have a problem with this ROM , I was using your Nougat ROM and installed it without any problems ( 2nd rom ever!) but this one is giving me some trouble so if anyone can help that would be great.
So I rooted the phone ; installed TWRP ; flashed the bootloader ( actions in that order )
Now i selected 3 options when wiping with advanced wipe and did one factory wipe just to make sure im following all the tips in tutorial
Then i when i try to flash the ROM it says " image mounting complete " or something along those lines , then it 2 rows of message that I shoulda wrote down but I was so excited about this ROM and didn't (but can tomorrow ) nothing actually installs and everything takes like 3 seconds for that message to display and the only option is to reboot and I am warned with ( There is no OS installed do you still want to reboot and If i do i'm stuck on logo during booting )
Does anyone have any ideas what am I doing wrong?
Using n910c btw
EDIT :This is where im stuck it asks me this when i want to flash
