[rom] aosp 5.1.1 ale-l21 - P8lite Original Android Development

Alright, I don't really want to do this, since the rom is not finished yet but I need help and I thought that releasing it would attract developers, so here it is, the first rom for our P8 Lite (ALE-L21)
Current Status: Developer Preview
The rom is at an early development stage, since I don't have enough time to figure out how to make RIL work.
Just flash the rom if you know what you are doing, it isn't stable or functional, it's just a preview, and a waste of time if you don't know how to do things properly.
What works:
Audio
Camera
Wifi
Most apps
Some other things
What DOESN'T work:
NFC
Bluetooth (It used to work, however it's not my priority)
RIL (3G , 2G, GPRS...)
GPS (I haven't tested it but I guess it isn't working)
Playing some kind of media files
How to install it:
Wipe data/cache (factory reset) after installation
Flash boot and system.img via fastboot.
Download
Remember to backup everything before flashing, I am not responsible of Data loss, phone bricking, or whatever.

Kernel source: https://github.com/XePeleato/android_ALE-L21_kernel
We need some help over there, so if you want to help and are skilled in Java, drop a message.
I also want to thank everyone who helped me on Github.
I guess that's it, if anyone could move this to the development section it would be really nice.
Have a nice day!

Awesome, I've been following your development on GitHub. Very happy with your progress!
Keep it going, as soon as you get RIL working, I'll get it on my phone. Can't stand this EMUI thing.
Either way, thank you for your great work and best of luck!

I do not know exactly how I installed . Can you explain in detail ?

---

Did you see this HiKey board? (Google for it I still can't post links to external pages :\ ) There is full documentation about Kirin 620 and even a Android port with USB OTG support (of course source is open). May be you try to enable USB OTG?

For install:
1. You must be unlocked bootloader
2. Enable ADB debugging in advanced options (tapping serveral times on about phone > compilation and you'll get that option in settings) and connect the phone to the PC
3. Download android studio SDK and then go to C:\Users\Yourusersname\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
4. Open a cmd terminal (shift + right click)
5. Download the TWRP recovery 3.0 that XePeleato made from his github (sorry I can't post links yet)
6. Now in cmd write: adb reboot bootloader and the adb drivers will be installed in your PC (if not, download ADB Driver Install)
7. Place the recovery.img from the recovery zip to the folder where you opened the terminal (platform-tools)
8. Now write in cmd: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. Write in cmd: fastboot reboot recovery
10. DO A COMPLETE BACKUP (that's important)
11. Now download the ROM and place the system.img and the boot.img of the .zip in the same folder as before.
12. Write in cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img
13. Write in cmd: fastboot flash system system.img
14. Write in cmd: fastboot reboot recovery
15. Now in recovery select wipe > advanced wipe and select data and cache
16. Install Gapps for 5.1.1 if you want.
That's it, hope it works.

If you share screenshots to see the pre-appearance, I'm totally interested in this project.

Since I needed 10 posts to post it there.
Is there any other rom ? I'd love to know what rom is that, maybe RIL is fixed there.

---

but these 2 roms are modified emui. They aren't based on pure AOSP

Your work it's on facebook, without your name...

thats true didnt realize diferences, I just saw "rom" not aosp

---

@XePeleato I guess RIL can be fixed by some dirty hacks on binaries.
I worked before on Xperia devices (CMs, AOSPs, ports) but maybe I can help a bit.

Hi all,
I have this device since saturday and i noticed that there is a sririous lack of aosp roms.
Since i'm not very far with my Java skills i wanted to know if there are peoople willing to join up and develope a custom ROM flashable tru twrp.
Those are my ideas, anybody in ?
Greetings,
Justin.
