DeckerSu: Initially Compiled TWRP
Shinru2004: bootanimation.zip and motivation to make my own tweaked rom from stock
My Fiance and baby girl for putting up with me and giving me the time I needed to scour the net researching, testing and editing files:highfive:
TWRP Builder Team For Updating TWRP Custom Recovery to 3.2.3.0 for us:good:
Stock Rom sourced from the 6055U Cricket version of the Idol 4, hence the name of the rom. What I'm looking for in this rom is for it to be smaller, faster and stable.
Made for and from 6055U
Confirmed working on 6055B
Confirmed working on 6055P
Confirmed working on 6055K
SuperSU
Busybox 1.30.1
Xposed(reboot twice to activate)
Init.d Support
su.d Support
Debloated
SeLinux Permissive Patched
10 Languages Supported
ART Runtime Optimized​
~CricketRom 5-2-2019 Changes
-Rebuilt from scratch with the stock base
-USB Debugging fixed and Auto-Enabled
-Updated several apps and removed a couple
Please Read This Before Posting Issues or Questions​*If you are getting Error 7 in TWRP, check here for the fix: https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-4s/how-to/fix-twrp-error-7-t3832283
*If you plan to use Waterfox, I highly recommend you hit the settings in it, go to addons and install Ublock Origin for it. It's by far the best popup blocker I've ever used and I use it on my desktop browser as well.
*SELinux is now set to permissive automatically during rom installation and is static unless you change it with SELinux switch. SELinux switch app is still installed so you can switch freely.
**If you have a Dual-Sim model and want it working, send me a PM with your model# and your build.prop, and I'll get to making a flashable zip that will enable it.
Installation
1- Have Newest TWRP Installed
2- Wipe Data, System, Cache, Dalvik
3- Install ~CricketRom~ from TWRP
4- Reboot and wait 5-10 minutes for first boot
5- On first boot, reboot again(Activate Xposed)
6- ENJOY!!!

ToDo
-Treble
-Android 8
-Android 9​
Some very interesting things are about to be happening with the Idol 4. I'm learning to build android and I also found a great Dev to help. Not only are we looking towards Android 8 on the Idol 4, but we are looking at making the Idol 4 Treble, which opens the doors to GSI roms, like LOS, RR, PixelExperience and all the other GSI Rom releases(there are alot!)
Please try the new version and post some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. This is still a great phone and is going to get the love it deserves!!
I've spent Several Hundred Hours on this project, so If you enjoy CricketRom, my TWRP release or my newest RootPackage, Please hit the Thanks Button.

Hmm. try to close and re open Sugar and flash again
Also, make sure the phone boots at least once before you try sugar again

I got root using the previous method, it's not difficult.

Hardest thing about this phone is balancing the cores on the cpu. If you go to high the battery drains severely and too low it locks up a lot. Wish Alcatel would have released the kernel source I could have made a custom overclockable kernel with better core management.

They did release the source, for the 6055K. all the software is interchangeable between devices. the only thing different really is the build.prop for different features and regions, and some small differences like languages and such. That's how I got all the languages in the Cricket version, borrowed from the 6055K. Doesnt even matter if the phone has 2 or 3gb ram. the kernel knows which is which. Glad to have you back Shinru2004, been a long time man. Hopefully you'll be around and such. Do you still have an Idol 4?

I do still have my idol 4. No pc currently though, when i made my shinjitsu rom they didnt have the source as far as i know. But, once i have a new pc i can build you a custom kernel with better core management since the source is available now. Not to mention i would be able to build oreo or pie for the idol.

Had the same issue. Boots into stock recovery. Never had issues rooting before. Would using older method work or am I doing something wrong with new updated method?

older method is working with latest TWRP, rename this to RXXXXXXXXX.mbn

Awesome ROM.... got it to work with the instructions in the download. Works great!!! Testing as daily driver. I had to input the sim unlock code again, but that is probably something I did wrong on my end. Thx for all your effort :good:.
Also, it has a bright screen so I can lower the brightness level and significantly extended the battery life.

Hi guys, I'm using the latest version and so far it's going great, there are only 2 things I have questions about, first, Why is it that when I go to wallshuffle settings crashes? (Force close) (I really like that function) and second, How can I get the original camera? (TCT camera)?
Greetings from El Salvador.

Live Wallpaper

Forget about camera, I just flashed the zip that was uploaded on the previous thread. I'd just like to know why I cannot use live wallpapers (I want to use parallax wallpapers) and If something can be done to enable it, also the crash when I try to open wallshuffle, despite the points I mentioned, the ROM is just great.
