- Update to Linux 5.6-rc2
- Major improvements for Motorola Moto G4 Play (motorola-harpia)
- Display
- Touchscreen
- Accelerometer
- Audio
- Modem
- Vibrator
- Fix headphones/headset detection for wileyfox-crackling
- Add mount-matrix for samsung-a3ulte/a5ulte to fix
orientation detection with iio-sensor-proxy
- A lot of cleanup everywhere
- APKBUILD: Clean up makedepends (a lot of them are unneeded)
wileyfox-crackling was the only user of QCDT. Now that it is also
using appended DTBs, there is no need to generate the QCDT image anymore.
Another advantage of this is that mainline can then be only booted using lk2nd
(as intended), since booting it from the stock bootloader has weird side effects
(e.g. no WiFi/BT MAC address set).
- Update to Linux 5.5-rc4
- Fix freeze/crash when accessing reserved memory on Samsung devices
- This happened e.g. when doing large eMMC writes
because the disk cache filled all available RAM.
- Fix SD card detection on samsung-serranovelte
- Disable UHS-1 modes since they appear to be broken in hardware
[ci:skip-build]: already built successfully in CI
Unfortunately, early firmware versions on MSM8916 (used together with
Android 4.4) are not capable of booting aarch64 kernels. MSM8916 was
Qualcomm's first 64-bit capable CPU, and back when it was introduced
Android did not even support aarch64 yet. So the aarch64 capable
hardware was usually used together with armv7 binaries.
To make things worse, this firmware is also signed (usually per-device),
making it (currently) impossible to update it without help from the manufacturer.
This means that we are currently unable to run mainline on devices
that never received an update to Android 5.0
(e.g. the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Value Edition).
One way to circumvent this limitation is to build mainline for armv7.
This works surprisingly well with some additional fixes.
Devices with this firmware limitation are still unable to use aarch64
binaries, but at least we can run mainline on them!
