Device: Asus Zenfone Max ZC550KL
MSM8916
Mainline Kernel
Works:
- Boots
- external sdcard
- Wifi/bt
- Display
- Touchscreen
I'm still working on this device. You can expect more things to work in
the future.
New upstream ALSA/PulseAudio release, new UCM regressions - of course!
Introduce some new hacks to make the ALSA UCM configurations work again.
This fixes weird "Combination of Speaker,Primary Microphone" outputs
appearing in the PulseAudio mixer.
And while we're at it, some minor improvements/additions:
- Default to Speaker/PrimaryMic instead of Headphones/Headset
I believe this is just a workaround until headphones detection
works properly.
- Add UCM configurations for oppo-a51f and lenovo-a6010
This packages the libhandy work in dino's feature/handy branch, which
makes the UI quite usable on mobile displays. A couple of windows don't
work well yet (e.g., the setting window), but chatting/omemo/file
transfer all work pretty well.
* Mainline kernel: enable installation of Wi-Fi firmware.
Now that we have Wi-Fi support in mainline kernel, use it.
* Mainline kernel: adjust description of mainline kernel
subpackage; we still cannot recommend it over downstream,
but it is not so experimental anymore.
* Downstream kernel: add workaround for broken SSH:
use dropbear instead of openssh server. See #808https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/808
Battery percentage monitoring support:
* lg-hammerhead
* samsung-klte
Mobile internet support:
* fairphone-fp2

Hello there, DragonX256 here.
For now, this tablet only have flashing, USB net, display and touchscreen.
I will try to add other features soon, or, if I fail enough, switch to mainlining immediately :D
Update ov5640 autofocus related patch. We had it working with Martijn's
patch in 5.9.1_git20201019-r2 (MR 1654), but then dropped the patch in
favor of the patch that was added to megi's tree in 5.9.3_git20201101
(MR 1678).
It turns out that the patch added to megi's tree was different than the
patch we were carrying, it was a WIP version where loading the autofocus
firmware did not work anymore.
Megi decided to drop the autofocus patch from his tree for now, as the
firmware uploader takes more time in Martijn's proper patch. According
to Martijn it takes about a second, which seems reasonable for the
postmarketOS use case. I've added the previous version again as
out-of-tree patch.
Martijn found that for some reason the continuous autofocus still
doesn't want to start with this kernel and current patch version, as for
some reason the firmware load fails. But he extended the patch to make
autofocus work again with "tap to focus" at least.
0005-dts-pinephone-Disable-flash-led-in-OV5640-node.patch is not needed
anymore, the same change is in megi's tree.
