Installation

Note: Even though MSM8916 is capable of aarch64, the firmware of some variants were never updated with aarch64 support. Therefore, those devices can only boot mainline on armv7 at the moment. |
lk2nd is a secondary bootloader that provides a standard fastboot interface.
- Download lk2nd-msm8916.img from Releases page on Github.
- Boot your phone to bootloader (download) mode by holding Volume Down and Home while powering up.
- Follow lk2nd instructions to install lk2nd. Basically flash it to boot partition (
heimdall flash --BOOT lk2nd-msm8916.img
) - Follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation to install postmarketOS.

Note: Enter lk2nd fastboot mode by pressing only Volume Down + Power (without Home). Pressing Home additionally will bring you to the Samsung Download mode. |
Touchscreen
Sometimes the touchscreen stops working after idling for hours. To fix it, do:
# modprobe -r zinitix
# modprobe zinitix
Battery
rt5033
charger driver is not available, so the charging is not controlled and there is no charging status reporting.
USB OTG
Another rt5033
charger driver issue. Grand Prime is currently unable to power up a usb device in mainline. Try a hub with external power supply.
Accelerometer
gprime
variants use bma
, and fortuna
variants use k2hh
or k303c
.
k2hh
accelerometer is not so stable for auto screen rotation, which suggests you to use fixed portrait or landscape mode.
Proximity Sensor
No interrupts received from gp2ap002s00f
sensor.
