[DEV][ROM][20.10.] LineageOS 13 (Android 6.0.1) for Chuwi Vi10 Plus, Hi10 Plus, Hi10 Pro, Hibook, Hibook Pro & Hi12

[Guest KonstaT]

Here's an early taste of Marshmallow for Chuwi Vi10 Plus, Hi10 Plus, Hi10 Pro & Hibook. Hibook Pro and Hi12 are no longer supported due to lack of kernel source. It is unofficial and unsupported by the CyanogenMod/LineageOS team. It's for advanced users only.

Do not mirror my builds! Please post a link to this page instead.

How to install:

1. boot into TWRP recovery
2. backup -> backup (create a nandroid backup of your current ROM)
3. wipe -> advanced wipe -> wipe /system
4. wipe -> factory reset
5. install lineage-13.0-xxxxxxxx-KonstaKANG-chuwi_vi10plus.zip
6. (install Hi10 Pro/Hibook/Hibook Pro/Hi12 patch if necessary - see FAQ below)
7. install open_gapps-x86-6.0-pico-xxxxxxxx.zip
8. reboot system

 

FAQ:

Q: I can't find developer options and performance settings, why?
A: Settings -> About tablet -> Click 'Build number' several times
 
Q: I don't have reboot options in power menu, why?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced reboot
 
Q: I have no root, why? What is that hashtag on my status bar?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. Root management is now integrated as part of CM's Privacy Guard and you can manage per app permissions under Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard. You'll have a persistent notification in the status bar when you're running an app that uses root permissions.

Q: I have Hi10 Pro. What should I do?
A: Download patch below and install it in TWRP. Hi10 Pro (z8350 - serial no HQ64) is not supported because of hardware changes and lack of kernel source code.

Wow. You are a star. Screen wake issue is gone with this rom (vi10plus) Great. I dont know yet about the freeze problem. I did have 2 freezes on first boot. One on optimize app and one shorts after when choosing language. After that i have had no problems. I will watch a lot YouTube then we will know. Betterbattrystats reported deepsleep on 12.1 assuming it works there, and as you say, no deepsleep here. I am very optimistic. Donate to you.. Thank you so much for your work.

Update. Freezing issue is the same, unfortunately.

Thank you, great work. Donated to you :)

 

EDIT: I looked everywhere couldnt find anything.

Is there any possibility to disable mouse & keyboard wake up on Android?

Like already repeated several times, 'freezing issue' is not going anywhere without firmware update from Chuwi.

'Keyboard dock wake issue' hasn't gone anywhere either. It just doesn't manifest itself here right now because device already fails to enter deep sleep for whole another reason. If that ever gets fixed, 'keyboard dock wake issue' will return for sure.

Not exactly sure what you're asking. If there was some easy way to do that, wouldn't it also fix the 'keyboard dock wake issue'?

I knew that chuwi was the only ones solve freezing, and thanks for explaining the keyboard /deepsleep thing. I wish I knew how to wake up Chuwi. Its like wakening the dead :-(

If chuwi released kernel source, would that provide any hope for these issues?

If tablet is in sleep, I can wake it up by moving mouse or using keyboard. is there a possibility to disable this? I only want to wake it up using power button, nothing more. maybe a adb shell command or something like that?

Yeah, kernel source could potentially help. It's possible that these issues have something to do with BIOS or bootloader, too. There's at least some indication to some BIOS problem I've come across debugging these various suspend/resume issues ('keyboard dock wake issue' and one in CM13 now).

Not that I'm aware. Something like that would resolve a lot of issues right now...

I realized following:

After first boot, deep sleep works. But after that it doesnt work anymore. So i believe not the go to deep sleep is broken, more the woke up and giving the possibility to go sleep again is broken. 

The mtk community giving possibility to use old kernel (kitkat kernel) with marshmallow. Maybe you can find there the solve for this problem.

It didn't happen to me.

I restarted tablet a lot of times and always go to deep sleep.

No, it has never worked (logs or it didn't happen ;)). Done a clean installation on two different devices couple of dozen times.

It's a suspend failure issue. I can see what's going on in the logs. No idea what is causing it, though. Not even sure if it's a kernel issue (in that case couldn't do anything about without kernel source anyway).

Was my assumption. it didn't spend too much battery also it took a while to turn tablet on from "sleep mode" like on stock. other times it didn't worked. it turned on immediately and drained battery. I always use logcat couldn't see the error? also dmsg. how do you analyze it?

There's

[  473.430899] PM: Wakeup pending, aborting suspend
[  473.430909] active wakeup source: event10

repeating in dmesg. It's really hard to miss.

Thank you, i found it now. 

 

EDIT: it's a driver issue. you used medions predefined libraries which is not bad, but conflicts with lollipop kernel :( are there no sources of Intel?

What driver issue exactly? Please share if you have actual information indicating this.

I have couple of Lollipop gmin kernel sources. They're missing device specific drivers so things like touchscreen and audio won't work.

i searched for the error in binaries, found in most library files of your medion. I could ask medion again for the sources of medion, but i saw they implemented bios update. Some users wanted to downgrade to 5.1 but was not possible causing borken audio. So we will need to port kernel ourselves

What error? What binaries came up?

[Guest yener90]

I searched for everything which is _ps0 related, found those files.

Some of those call something with _ps0 related wrongly which causes this error, my guess. I can edit partly libraries but that amount of code is really not easy to reverse engine.

If you mean this 'error'

[  472.440983] ACPI Exception: AE_ERROR, Returned by Handler for [GeneralPurposeIo] (20131218/evregion-297)
[  472.441032] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.GFX0._PS0] (Node ffff8800748428e8), AE_ERROR (20131218/psparse-536)

that's actually 'normal' - just some log spam. It's there on CM12.1 as well and even when the suspend succeeds. Unrelated to the issue in CM13.

It's kernel spewing that message anyway (here & here), not any of the binary drivers.

Looks like can't help you :( I will go to medion nerves until they release the kernel :P

Already wrote them couple of email myself. They had no idea what kernel source or GPLv2 is.

There's a kernel source for Lenovo Yogabook available. It has Cherry Trail chipset and Marshmallow. Having no reference point whatsoever (besides mainline Linux tag which doesn't help much) makes these kernels really difficult to work with. Have to again praise Qualcomm for CAF.

Holy s***, this is pretty damn awesome!

I haven't been on MoDaCo for years and now I find this. 

KonstaT, I remember your work back on the Blade, so happy to see you working on one of the tablets I currently own! Keep it up!

Of course, Nougat with Multiwindow is the ultimate dream here!
