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
panel-simple
is used, and there is no backlight/brightness control support yet. If panel goes sleeping and turns green, press the power button to wake it up.
Touch keys
Needs a patched driver. See Tm2-touchkey.
FDE
It's not possible to unlock with touchscreen at the meantime, but unlocking with a keyboard connected via USB OTG is possible.
Battery
sm5703
charger driver is WIP, so the charging is not controlled and there is no charging status reporting.
USB OTG
Another sm5703
charger driver issue. J5 is currently unable to power up a usb device in mainline. Try a hub with external power supply.
Accelerometer
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.
NFC
Only LTE variants e.g. SM-J500FN has NFC. The PN547 NFC chip uses a pad supply voltage (pvdd), which needs a patched driver.
