Architecture
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. |
Note: For SM-G530FZ (and maybe other variants), make sure you are on a recent firmware version that can boot aarch64 kernels. If lk2nd says ARM64 - unavailable or you're unsure, flash the latest (Android 5) stock firmware with Odin or Heimdall. |
How to enter flash mode
Press Volume Down, Power, and Home all at the same time to boot to Odin mode. After lk2nd is installed, press Volume Down and Power at the same time.
Installation
lk2nd is a secondary bootloader that provides a standard fastboot interface, which can be used to boot postmarketOS without Android boot
flashed or pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
.
- Download lk2nd-msm8916.img from Releases page on Github.
- Boot your phone to bootloader (Odin/Download) mode by holding Volume Down and Home while powering up.
- Follow lk2nd instructions to install lk2nd. Basically flash it to the 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. |
Panel
There are 3 panel variants supported, and lk2nd is required to enable the panel[8][9].
Touchscreen
Sometimes the touchscreen stops working after idling for hours. To fix it, do:
# modprobe -r zinitix
# modprobe zinitix
This device is based on the Snapdragon 410. See the SoC page for common tips, guides and troubleshooting steps |
Flash LED
Currently WIP. It can be controlled with SG Micro SGM3140 charge pump LED driver[10].
GPS
No idea how to test yet.
Proximity Sensor
No interrupts received from gp2ap002s00f
sensor.
Accelerometer
gprime
variants use bmc150
, 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.
NFC
There are 2 variants of NFC chips, s3fwrn5
and pn547
. 3G variant fortuna3g
has no NFC chip.
gprimeltexx
is currently using gprimeltecan
device tree[11], which results in broken NFC. This can be easily fixed if anyone feels like to add a dedicated device tree and test it.
Troubleshooting
Please note for some models e.g. G530FZ. Some bugs has been discovered.
- Forever black screen even if phone is powered on, after few hours of uptime pmbootstrap#2134
See Qualcomm Snapdragon 410/412 (MSM8916)#Suspend
- Internet access makes it freeze for a certain time
pmbootstrap#2134#note_996647105
- A white error message could appear on a blackscreen on phosh and plasma
See How to report issues#Issues with apps or interfaces/shells
additional information
🚧 | This page is a work-in-progress. Some information contained within may be inaccurate or incomplete.
In particular: Rough translation |
here it is for g530fz devices:
used: twrp 1.1.1-1
lk2nd (postmarketos): 0.12.0 msm916
a/ pmos "works" (not so well) on that device
b/ unfortunately, few "bugs" "maybe related" to hardware persists, mainly in the reactivity on touchscreen when locked on inactive since a while.
c/ perf is highly to low (paradox for pmos ;-) ) to use it as a "common daily smartphone", mean: if you want to escape gafamnt, mount your server on a phone, or specific usages: it would be perfect. But dont expect it to run netflix everyday in firefox or falkon, it might freeze for "not only" a while.
d/ my documentation/software related to it: https://kdrive.infomaniak.com/app/share/471663/301b1494-25f4-4dba-9572-c6c182b2c4cd see for each link, normally a .img file. Unforunately, only 1 was able to host a gigabyte-sized, .img file.
Please note, without the following bug being not solved, that device could NOT get postmarketos installed through twrp with zip file: #1962 In addition: Don't know what is the exact issue, but I found a case, where it was fixed: #1962, sadly they didn't document how to solve it properly.
e/ im going on something else now.. if you want ungoogled/ungafamnted android, take lineageos14.1 (gprimeltexx), the fastest/best choice for that device, for common usage
