How to enter flash mode

  • Download mode: Volume Down + Power + Home
  • Recovery mode: Volume Up + Power + Home

Installation

pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs and pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel

Display

  • in landscape
  • blanks after inactivity, likely some power-saving feature
    • echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank turns it back on
  • fuzzes out after wake from suspend
    • X fails with
FBDEV(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
FBDEV(0): mode initialization failed
Fatal server error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

Audio

  • Needs soc-sprd-audio-sc8830 package
  • Headphones and back speaker works
  • Headset and Handset only gives microphone and it's low volume, but /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/sprdphone/HiFi can be patched to fix both. Like this

PulseAudio

Need to add add these lines at /etc/asound.conf:

defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 1

Also need to edit this line in /etc/pulse/default.pa:

load-module module-udev-detect

To:

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

WiFi

You can copy /system/etc from stock rom to the device, mount efs to /efs at startup, create /data folder and wifi works

#/etc/local.d/wifi.start with chmod +x
mkdir /efs
mkdir /data
mount /dev/disk/by-partlabel/efs /efs

One weird issue is it seems to not connect at all, but you have to use nmtui for first connection. then it just works.

Input

HID buttons

  • event0: sci-keypad
    • home, power, volume keys

Touchscreen

  • event1: MELFAS_MMS449_Touchscreen
    • in portrait
    • includes "Recents" and back buttons
    • stops working on suspend, cat /sys/class/input/event1/device/device/device_enable reenables it
    • try a non-forceful reboot if it doesn't appear

Headset

  • event2: headset-keyboard
    • works

Accelerometer

  • event3: accelerometer_sensor
    • no output, doesn't seem to work
