A list of what doesn't work on DivestOS
Devices¶
Devices listed as "Works" on Downloads page will not be listed here if they are fully working as expected and do not have any quirks.
All Devices¶
- 'Developer options' will crash on older releases due to null PDB handle. [upstream?]
- Devices with less then 2GB of RAM will likely out-of-memory more often than usual. [various][report]
- Fenix based browsers such as a 'Mull' or 'Fennec F-Droid' might cause a reboot on launch. Please report your device if it does to be fixed.
- IMS may or may not work. [upstream? deblobber?]
- Incremental updates will often fail to successfully apply on non A/B devices. [releasetools]
- MediaProvider error toast on some boots. [permission whitelist?][tracking]
- Most devices will take longer to acquire a GPS lock. Please test using GPSTest app with *clear* and *direct* line of sky. [deblobber][link]
- Recovery will not be updated on each boot on 14.1. [upstream]
- Select older devices running 17.1/10 or higher will fail to connect to 802.11w optional enabled Wi-Fi networks due to lack of PMF support. [hardware]
- Silence will crash if first started without a SIM-card inserted. [upstream]
- 'Storage Manager' is non-functional in some cases.
- Updater JSON parsing error on 14.1. [upstream?][tracking]
apollo/thor¶
- Encryption is not supported. [upstream blobs]
clark¶
- Camera is very slow to start and sometimes won't start at all. [upstream]
- TWRP is required for flashing images due to modem firmware being compressed. [recovery][link]
d852¶
- Sensors will not work unless you have a hybrid v220k modem which requires an a10b bootloader. [firmware]
d852/d855/g3¶
- Device will often fail on reboot and become unresponsive, requiring the battery to be pulled. [hardware]
flox¶
- Device powers off after sleeping for an unknown time. [???]
grouper¶
- Camera is non-functional. [upstream kernel]
- Device is extremely slow. [hardware?]
- Relocking bootloader with an AOSP/Lineage/DivestOS recovery flashed will result in a *permanent hard brick* unless you have acquired your NvFlash recovery token! [bootloader][guide]
herolte¶
- (reported) bootloops. [???][report]
klte¶
- SD cards might fail to mount or format. [vold + selinux?]
- USB ADB does not work. [selinux]
maguro/toro/toroplus¶
- Not encrypted by default. [OMAP SMC limitation]
mako¶
- Excessive battery drain when powered-off. Likely fixed by b56929d3. [???][relevant]
- /system needs to be resized to fit 17.1 or higher. [too small partition]
- Will fail to boot on first boot. Force off once after 3 minutes. [modem subsystem service startup failure with forceencrypt]
- Radio likely broken on 18.1.
mata¶
- Images will often fail to install via recovery. [fstab /vendor/firmware_mnt]
- Speaker phone volume cannot be changed from maximum.
- Phone call audio is distored sometimes until speaker phone is toggled.
- Phone call audio over Bluetooth inconsistently works.
nex/n900¶
- Camera is non-functional. [upstream blobs?]
- Encryption is not supported. [upstream device tree?]
- GPS is non-functional. [deblobber]
