Xiaomi A2 (jasmine_sprout)

Hello

I’m very happy running e-1.8.1-q-20230207257879-dev-jasmine_sprout (Android 10) on my old Xiaomi A2.
I don’t need a new phone, as this one has all the HW I need (but a barometer :frowning: ).

Anyway, an improvement on FW is very interesting to me, as menus and features on the Android 13 versions fully match my expectations.

I’ve tested flashing all from e-2.6 to e-3.1.4. Everything works very nice for me, but these problems keep on all versions:

  • Camera app shows the picture, but hangs when triggered (any camera app).
  • No audio on phone calls
  • Video playing (YouTube, local mp3…) is stepped with no audio.

I’ve checked this with two different phones, so is not a HW problem.

Could somebody help ?

As you had no reply I checked and don’t find jasmine-sprout officially supported. The most recent build and links to development seems to be Jasmine Sprout downloads unavailable - #6 by ronnz98

All correct.
That’s the reason I’m asking.

Thanks for your reply

Hello @luis-es,Welcome to the /e/ users forum.

jasmine-sprout was officially supported up to android 11 (R), then only unofficial

jasmine_sprout Mi A2 e-2.3-r-LEGACY-jasmine_sprout
including the Advanced Privacy that was launched with v2.0

Thanks, Piero

The fact is that, as i’ve said before, ROM 2.8 [UNOFFICIAL] (Android 14) fulfills all my expectations, and works nicely on my A2…. but the problems related.

I’m quite expert on programming, but never got on Android SDK. I presume that this problems would have an easy fix. But no idea.

…And there is no .zip file on that (e-2.3-r) link

sorry, sourceforge have deleted some files because not enought downloads,
i will rebuild during the night…
(my 16GB of RAM computer is not able to build modern a15 but old a11 it still can)

wow, it was longuer than for a Samsung device…(double time)

Thank you for your build, Piero.

I’ve checked it and everything works 0K, but this is just an Android10 → Android11 upgrade over the version I’m using ‘till now.

What I’m looking for are the new features (mainly the clean setup menus and the emergency call features) from releases e-2.6 and onwards. But these releases always exhibit the referred camera and audio problems.

As I said on my first message, I’ve checked all available versions from 2.6 to 3.1.4.
Curiously, 3.1.4 apart from first-time rebooting some times, shows as 2.6 after installed.
And problems still there.

Thanks for your interest, @piero

@Xxpsilon , please.
