Magisk AOSP WiFi mod - Essential Phone Themes, Apps, and Mods

I already created a similar mod for the OnePlus 5. Although Essential seems to use - more or less - the stock Google WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file, there is always some space to improve things a little bit.
So, what does this mod do? It replaces the /system/vendor/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and the /system/vendor/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini files with the stock Google one's, with some custom values. For example, GreeAp is enabled, or changed the Phy Mode from 0=Auto to 9=ac. I'll add the source code on GitHub later. In the meanwhile, enjoy!

Can you add some ELI5 info on what this is? I'll look it up for now, but it means nothing to me, and I'm normally pretty savvy.

In theory, espacially higher speeds. In practice, you have to find out

Update
New update is out! I updated to the latest Magisk module template, which is compatible or better said mandatory for Magisk v19+. Also, I changed some minor things.
Note: It is not possible to just put the according stock Pixel 3 XL's file in here, as ithis will lead to no working WiFi (it can't be turned on). I don't why this happens, but I'm digging into it and perhaps I can find the culprit. In the meanwhile, the modded stock Essential's file is fine for sure
Edit: Finally added the source in OP, too!

[Q] Someone want to create a thread for a Lollipop ROM?

I have created a mostly-functional build of OmniRom 5.1 (Lollipop) for the T959V
However, I don't have enough posts to post in the development section or to put in links. Does somebody want to do this for me? If so, let me know.
The current status of it is:
What works
Taking pictures (very laggy switching between FFC and rear)
RIL
SMS
Data
Recovery
Bluetooth
Wifi
Vibration
Powered-off charging animation
Flash from BML
What is definitely not working
App to SD - not working on i9000 either, complains about insufficient space fixed in git
Tv-out as Omni's aries-common has removed it
Video recording - only captures fuzz fixed in git
What is untested
Everything else
What is probably not working
Microphone mute option doesn't work during calls - not working on i9000
GPS - I actually have a T959P, not a T959V... It was released by Telus in Canada. It is a very similar device (I can run ROMs for the T959V with limited problems - ie sometimes I get wakelocks and the gps never works), it has a different GPS chipset (hence why I have no clue on the status of the GPS) and also uses different cell bands (but I can still use your guys modems but I lose access to the 850Mhz band). I have created a build specifically for the T959V as best as I can guess from teamacid and others' device trees.
Selinux is set to permissive as I don't know how to create the proper policies for the GPS.
For a download and more information, see drive.google.com*open?id=0B7vXjzo0Hj-ifm1KQWNYam9FYWdnaFlXZU5LVnVVSzJxYVU3eHlWZGR1VVNZUWk1V1QzOUk (replace "*" with "/")
Source code can be seen under my github account (username is xc-racer99 there as well) under the android-5.1 and android-5.1-t959v branches
Ooooomg ...im wait ....is amazing the new proyect .....thanks thanks
Quick update:
I've got the video record to work properly now as well as being able to move apps to the SD card.
Selinux is left!
Should I upload a build?
Sure...I have a spare phone somewhere that I can test it. Do you have a Gapps package to go along with the ROM? As far as GPS is concerned, back when Beanstalk 4.4.2 was being worked on, a patch was developed to make GPS work...I'll have to root around in my files and see if I can dig it up...I think the developer deleted all the Beanstalk threads for some reason or another.
Yeah, I took the GPS files from CM-11.0 but I can't test if they work. With regards to the Selinux portion of things, only some parts of it were being enforced in KitKat while everything is now being enforced in Lollipop. GPS was not enforced in KitKat so the policies for it were not in place.
I haven't tried any gapps on it yet but I would recommend trying any of the three from the Omni i9000 thread
forum.xda-developers.com*galaxy-s-i9000/i9000-development/rom-t3054101 (again, replace "*" with "/")
I'll upload a new build as soon as I can verify that it boots - it fixes several issues such as apps2sd and camera that weren't working in the one I already have uploaded.
Also, I'm curious as to what the command "cat /sys/class/sec/gps/hwrev" shows. In CM11, one of the GPS files check this and depending on what it shows it loads a different file. Does this mean that there are two hardware variants of the SGS4G?
Alright, new build uploaded. Follow the "link" from my first post, the build is under the Galaxy S 4G (T959V) folder. Selinux is still disabled, no extra policies have been implemented. Apps2sd and video camera should work.
For flash instructions, just do a data wipe beforehand. You should be able to flash from any CWM 5.0+ or TWRP, regardless of BML/MTD status
Been looking at the gps a bit more, seems that TeamAcid's CM11 did it slightly differently than most other KitKat roms in that it has both a gpsd and a samsung-gpsd. Do you know what beanstalk used? It would be so much easier if it didn't have the samsung-gpsd... However, we still have the funky init.d gps script which checks the hardware revision....

I was using Google Drive as its something I have an account for already and has plenty of space on. Do you have a suggestion of a site I should use? In the meantime, a direct link to the file is https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7vXjzo0Hj-iZ0YtQTdoTG5KVW8/view?usp=sharing Hopefully this works...
Google Drive isn't bad at all. I was suggesting that you use another cloud service for uploading the files if it didn't work. (which i didin't do a really good job telling you that)
Thanks, that link works!
Alright, I have opened a devDB thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...official-omnirom-5-1-galaxy-s-4g-sgh-t3146611
Please post anything there and do not use this thread as I will not be monitoring it.
Google drive is at least better than Mega(especially if you use non top-end devices).

Hi! I've installed it in multirom with a stock 5.0.1 as primary and it works, just tried it for few minutes.
just be sure to have the latest bootolader (HHZ12h) or installation will fail.
Flashing a bootloader
Hi,
I have a Nexus 5 and I use Multirom with it. My default ROM is Lollipop 5.1.1 and a secondary ROM, which I mostly use, is Marshmallow 6.0 (xTraSmooth). I want to install CopperheadOS, but it says when installing, that I must have HHZ12h bootloader in order to install (as stated in a previous post). My current bootloader is HHZ11k. If I install HHZ12h bootloader by flashing a zip file which includes LMY48B_Radio+Bootloader-HHZ12h will it cause anything that prevents Lollipop or Marshmallow to work properly?

You don't need to downgrade the bootloader, just modify the updater script of the rom ( deleting the string containing the bootloader version or replacing with your current version), then it will install just fine.

Thanks! I haven't tried that yet, but I will. First I thought I can just replace HHZ12h with HHZ11k using text editor, but then I noticed there are guides which suggest that it isn't quite that easy. I might be wrong about that, will see when I have enough time to read up on the subject.

It's easy, just extract the rom, go to Meta-Inf/com/google/android and modify the "updater-script". That's all, rebuild the zip and flash in recovery.
Edit: you can do it without using a PC, by using a file manager on your device.

Just installed it on a Nexus 5x and it works flawless. It has most of the standard stuff but is different from the rest in that it is supposed to be security oriented. That means no default root (but rooting should be possible).
I didn't try to add Google stuff yet and probably won't even try to add that spyware but it does have the F-Droid app store.
There are some extra options to secure the memory if required, and the documentation is (so far) very good (for example the install guide and the technical overview).
Currently running it on my Nexus 5x and N5. works great. Anything you are missing you can find on F-Droid. I find the lack of data usage to be delightful; when facebook or ebaum videos auto load on other software, they are stopped on copperhead. very happy with the security.
The only thing i can not make work is voice to text, and I have a ticket in with copperhead. who cares, I have fast thumbs.
Nexus + Copperhead = Happy Gopher!

Thanks for the feedback. I guess manual apk installation is also possible?
I'm thinking about picking up a Nexus 5 as a backup device, and CopperheadOS seems like something fun to play with, instead of just installing CM13. Can I install TWRP as recovery on devices like the Nexus 5 that don't check for locked bootloaders? Can I run it as basically another ROM –*unlocked developer options, root, TWRP, etc.? I realize the OS exists for enhanced security, but I'd like to make a few tradeoffs.
Unfortunately, you can not run TWRP with copperhead, it wants full control of the phone for security reasons. Its not meant to be a developer OS with access to all the bits, so you kind of need to want a OS in a box that you can deal with.
But I have to say, despite its shortcomings of not having google services, it works pretty much flawless on my 5 and 5x. i miss google maps app, but it works 100% via chromium browser as a favorite, and I have only found 2 apps I can not import via apkmirror, one being Waze, the other is my local public transportation app. other than that, i feel like I'm safe from prying eyes.

Thanks for your response. I'm a fan of CyanogenMod, and I'm not unhappy their security or features, but I wanted to play around with CopperheadOS. I understand the tradeoff between security and convenience, but I'm not willing to sacrifice TWRP in the mix. Oh, well – if I ever have need of an OS solely for its security track record, I know where to go.
It doesn't look to me like Copperhead is supporting the Nexus 5 anymore. Can somebody confirm or is there a link I'm missing somewhere to the ROM?
EDIT: Yep, I knew it was deprecated for a while now but they've even removed the deprecated ROM from the site now. I'd appreciate it if anybody has the last ROM if they could pass it my way.

Switch debugging OFF and don't lock bootloader after CopperheadOS install and u will be able to boot TWRP via
fastboot boot recovery.img [TWRP]
I'm currently experimenting with root privileges on CopperheadOS on Nexus 5X. Still haven’t tried xposed framework.
Security features r quite good, especially different lock code && encryption password and memory protection, but, there is a lack of fine privacy control (Privacy Guard) as in CyanogenMod and firewall, hence the need for root.

I've been using CopperheadOS for a few weeks now on the Nexus5. Received the latests OTA a few days ago and applied without issue.
Installed it via TWRP. Have rooted the device with SuperSU, though have to re-root after re-flashing recovery after each OTA.
It's been working great.
Unfortunately I don't have the img any more

With the next (major) device specific changes and/or android changes I'll make another build which will include the newer LineageOS features
Guess within the next 1 ~ 2 Months you could expect another build from me.
In the meantime I'm taking a crash course on Android kernel development.
Would be nice to squeeze some extra juice out of this device.

@JJRT,
Thank you very much for 'cooking' this ROM! On vacation I discovered that GPS did not work on that old 7.1.2 version. Now again works perfectly fine with this ROM!
I have one small problem though. Android indicates that my SD card is corrupted and want to fix it by 'configuring' it.
1) Does anyone know if it is actually going to try to fix it or will it just reformat it?
Obviously I do not want the latter. I would rather remove it from the phone and repair it in my PC.
2) Can I 'hot swap' the SIM/SD tray or do I really need to turn off the phone? The latter will most likely cause the phone to go into boot loop.
Thanks in advance for any help or info.

Likely partition filesystem issues/corruption.
Preferable to do this with a SDcard-reader
Under Linux I'd suggest using Gparted to check/change filesystem and/or format
Under Windows Paragon Partition Manager™ Would do the job splendidly. Even ext4 / exfat layouts
And yes you could hotswap with phone still on, but I wouldn't recommend doing so out of precaution
I notice the following issues with this ROM:
1) Battery life noticeably less than the 'old' 7.1.2 (of 23-8-17).
2) Notifications arrive 20 to 30 minutes late.
3) In the about it says "Playform: msm8916", which is a 4 core Snapdragon 410. However, the R7f contains MSM8939, which is an 8 core Snapdragon 615. Does this mean only 4 cores are used?

1: I do notice a bit, not dramatically
Concerning battery , did you do a clean install? (format data / cache / system) coming from 14.1 it's advisable to do so
2: Not having those issues (WiFi and 3G) Whatsapp/gmail/youtube notifications are near instant. Have more info?
3: Yeah not sure what the deal is with that. While building the rom it does use the msm8939 sources from LineageOS/TheMuppets
But indeed the info screen of 'Model & Hardware' Does report msm8916. Shall look into that (Guess it's just a left over from a initial script source they've used)
Other diagnostic software does identify it correctly and the performance is on par with 8939

Notifications usually get in when I click the button on the left side to unlock the phone or after a certain time (20-30 minutes). So it seems it does not work instant when the phone is locked.
I also notice that I only get notifications from email, sms and whatsapp. I checked the settings and notifications are enabled for all apps, but I do not get any notifcations from any other apps.

Try getting some stats about what is eating your battery in the battery usage section of the settings or an app like BetterBatteryStats.
With the 14.1 lineageOS release I sometimes have/had that sensor use went nuts for a long period of time, draining battery as a result.

Can it be that this only happens when you are connected to WiFi? If yes, verify the WiFi settings to make sure remains connected or if it's not doing something else undesirable.

Just curious, who would be able to update the sources/what needs to done to update the sources?
I solved the problem with the notifications of Whatsapp. The trick is to disable battery optimization for Whatsapp. Of course this is even worse for the battery life. I find it interesting that Android 8 has measures to save battery, but ends up using much more battery than 7.1.2.
This does not help for the apps that do not give any notifications at all. Maybe there is something changed in the way Android 8 handles notifications? I did read some comments from one app maker that they had updated their app to make notifications work on Android 8.1.

cleaned the code up best i could, things ive noticed while playing games on the tablet is -
when i play "nitro nation" the first race no longer stutters
when popups appear they dont take a while to appear..
when i play "word mind" it doesnt take ages to load with crackling sound
when using "kernel auditor" if you set the GPU max and min values high (i only did this trying to keep the values standard), when the GPU gets hot, it cant scale down the GPU frequency so it starts trying to kill tasks.
i dont think you need to download/flash blobs as they are for flashing binary stuff, but i cant find a need for it, think its more of a precaution to ensure the kernel boots.. but dont think i have flashed them
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 : FINAL,
dunno what changes i made but ive recently upgraded my tablet so figured id upload my latest and last
obveously i have had to start again running 3.10.96 but done alot of work to make it as fast as i can so far, but i deleted all references to my old code and cant find them anymore,
GPU is now at 914 MAX as ive found its the GPU that generates a lot of heat, which causes it to throttle, and found values higher than this just degraded performance.
ive known for a long time that "DT2W" works great while connected to USB, due to the custom USB wakelock, i know the app "wakelock revamp - power manager" would resolve it. but ive found tapping where "notifications" would be wakes the screen (ive found bottom right where the camera would be is a good spot) im trying to figure out how to apply the wake lock better.
scores on PCMARK are above the scale on most values
scores on 3DMARK are around 3250 ~ 3320
=========================================
if you want to create your own, i created a guide, also the website i used to help me understand
https://************/how-to-build-android-kernel-on-windows-10/ appuals . com
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"hazel nut" for his support, as if he never said "cant wait for it to come out" i dont think it would of pushed me so much
----------------------------------------------------------------
"BitOBSessiOn" for his source code
https://github.com/BitOBsessiOn/android_kernel_nvidia_shieldtablet
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"laufersteppenwolf" for his source code and commits to overclocking and DT2W/STW
https://github.com/laufersteppenwolf/android_kernel_nvidia_shieldtablet
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Christopher83" for his cross compiler
https://github.com/Christopher83/arm-cortex_a15-linux-gnueabihf-linaro_4.9
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft, if i didnt hate windows 10 so much, and didnt get a message regarding dropping support for windows 7,
i would still be using a virtual machine which due to it being so slow, i would of probably given up a long time ago
----------------------------------------------------------------
thanks to everyone that has said thank you
Nice to see that you open a thread.
Appreciate a bit companionship here.
In your guide didn't you specify how you create thr zip file.
I used the nethunter installer, which is based on lazy flashed in regard of the external modules, this come in handy, but I found relatively little among the Shield kernel support.
I noticed that you set the make command with the addition of the specifications of the number of CPUs, which are to be used, before every command.
Is this a typo, or is this the correct procedure when you compile with Windows?
Did you mean with
"bin-bash-command"

That's just how I make the command, as if you tap the up key, you can scroll through previous inputs, if it makes it faster- that's a bonus.. but you're right about being very little support.
With regards to the zip file - you could use mine or any other zip that is a kernel flash - as long as you drop it into the kernel folder.. I believe there is an "anykernel.zip" somewhere if you prefer to use that.. also if you wish to add your own personal touch, you can modify the script file in the metadata folder
Response
I also chose different colours in the guide and placed it in a separate line so people could understand the exact typing.. or they could copy and paste..
But with regards to support it is one of the reasons I made the guide, in hopes the Nvidia community could follow it, understand how to achieve their own kernel, and improve the tablet. As there seems to be a serious lack of support..
I had to learn on my own, through Google and YouTube, but hopefully this will speed up what took me a month of trial and error..
Is it compatible with stock based fw (5.4)? Just need to flash blobs, then kernel and reboot?
Respond
Yeah, extract the blobs before flashing.. only available for stock/stock+ rom

Oh, by the way, you can’t compile with windows unless you’re using a virtual machine.. has to be Linux/terminal

Thank you, I will try out as soon as I can get to my computer. I have downloaded the wakelock v3 app and kernel adiutor an I can't enable wakelock in kernel adiutor (I can't see any option for it). Only this new kernel will support this option, am I right?

You must of done something wrong as “wake” is below “gpu”
You extract> then flash the blob at the fastboot menu via typing - fastboot flash staging <blobfilename>
Then via TWRP recovery you install the “OC K1” kernel without extracting.. I have 3 tablets and it’s worked on them all.. hope this helps,

Thanks for letting me know, originally you wouldn’t of needed the “wake v3” app, but I started fresh, which gained performance, and I decided to look for an easier way to stop the tablet “deep sleeping” on me.. less of a headache this way :laugh:

[DISCONTINUED][ROM][PATCH] M.A.R.S. Project V210606 BETA - for ARROW OS 11

Project Link : https://github.com/Miustone/M.A.R.S
{Mod edit: Download link repaired}
Downloads on My Website or over GitHub and More: https://linktr.ee/m1u5t0n3
Instructions can be found over here: https://github.com/Miustone/M.A.R.S.#instructions
I was about to flash Arrow in my device, what are the main differences with this?
You will get a lot more native Android and Pixel Features such as Pixel Setup Wizard, Pixel Feature Drop Functions, Extreme Battery Mode, better overall Quality for Media Consumption and Recording of it. It also removes ARROW OS Apps for Pixel Apps and the Installer does also Trim Your Storage if You follow My Instructions. Your Device will perform a lot better and the battery usage should be also optimized. I have a long History with Qualcomm Devices and know My Stuff. There will come a lot more next and i really love to keep everything clean like ARROW OS does...
Hope You will like it! Just keep in Mind it is a BETA Actually. Means Pixel Launcher isn't working right Yet, and not everything is present Yet. My biggest Problem is the Prop Patching which i haven't used in Years. That causes a lack of My Prop Configs :/ The actual Version includes a slightly patched Vendor build.prop but that will cause trouble with ARROW OS Updates...
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Miustone/MARS_SOM/master/MARS_SOM/system.prop
Hope i can get it to work next.

On My Website or GitHub. See Post #2
It looks really interesting!
Interesting project, will keep an eye on it
After installation camera dot appears on status bar.

That's caused by the Ported Pixel UI. The Status Bar is bigger on the Pixel 5 based on the Camera. The Dot is a Side Effect that will be fixed soon.
Need simple way to install this patch i dont understand

What isn't easy? You just need to read... Download the Zip from My Homepage, place it on Your Phone and flash it with Your Recovery. Handle it like a new ROM and done (Do a Full Wipe followed by a ROM flash before flashing MARS).
Download link is dead...
