I have updated the source code on github,but I still haven’t a test for it.
Can you help me to download it and have a test. :laughing:
Thanks

Of course, with pleasure!
Thank you!
How to download new source?

You can create the new project

$ repo init -u https://github.com/khadas/android_manifest.git -b Nougat
$ repo sync -j4

If you have the old project and don’t want to download the all source code


$ cd 'path-your-project'
$ .repo/repo/repo  sync -j4

Hi has anyone tried this ROM yet?

All seems to work fine with the latest although my Bluetooth controller doesn’t seem to work and it did in Mmallow and previous Nougat…

Anything I can post to assist?

I downloaded the source.
How to build android? With ‘lunch kvim-user-64’ or may be ‘lunch kvim-userdebug-64’ for SU?

PS:
uboot was maked successfully

After boot i get this kind of error:

[ 32.144559@3] CPU: 3 PID: 5296 Comm: gle.android.gms Tainted: G O 3.14.29-gdce8297 #22
Serial log

I check it. My Bluetooth is work fine.

Bluetooth works fine and it connects to the controller yet the controller buttons do not work. Just reflashed Nougat without Root and it works fine

Terry.
I’ve tested your new firmware (Vim_Nougat_Root_170421) while my computer compiled the new source code. A lot of good changes in the settings. All is working well. It remains to add custom display resolution and teach Vim to display the image in native resolution.

You are the best!

That is a bug. It had the error information when I updated the latest GoogleGmsCore application. But I have not understand the reason.
It is no affect for Gms use , If you know more about it , Please tell me. Thank you.

Did you mean the Bluetooth Remote ?
I haven’t add this function in it .

In and working ok.


Thanks
