Cyanogen OS/MOD 13 Discussion - Zuk Z1 General

Friends,
The work on Cyanogen OS/MOD 12.1 seems to be stopped.
Developers are working hard on Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
So lets discuss about Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
Add your suggestions, which we want in Cyanogen OS/MOD 13.
www .cmxlog. com/12.1/ham
www .cmxlog. com/13/ham

Why there are no changelogs ? last 2 Nigthlys came without any information.

Because developers are moved towards canogenmod 13

Hope next week we get CM13 Nightly`s on our devices

I think I will never buy again a Cyanogen OS phone. Cyanogen OS with MS crap and lame updates. Old S3 get CM13, ZUK Z1 still not get CyanogenMod 13 :/
Note 5 get Android 6, S6 get it and even Huawei roll Android 6 out... Huawei xD

Don't worry. As long as I and JoaoPaulo are around you guys will have the latest Android versions.
Just get our unofficial CM13 build.
It has everything but the fingerprint reader working and even that one is only a matter of time until we get it working.

LOL! Typical for people like you. Go ahead, don't buy. Would you rather like to get constant updates with tons of bugs, or just stable and working OS.
And watch your language here.
Also Huawei is one of the greatest players on the market... You obiviously do not know a thing and all you do is rage on xda.
(Huawei made some ofNEXUS devices also. Would Google let Nexus line to someone stupid?)

Maybe it's your first Cyanogen OS phone but I use CM already for 5 years (CyanogenMod). Huawei got 200 devices, Cyanogen 4-5 and no-cyanogen-phones get CM13 Cyanogen is just clean Android, nothing special like MIUI with ton of tools.

If you can't wait for updates just start building for yourself? So do I. That's one of the opportunities you have with our Zuk Z1. At least everything is working as it should with Cyanogen Mod on it. I had a lot of phones in the past which had Cyanogen Mod but a lot of features wasn't working anymore.

CyanogenMod and CyanogenOS aren't same.
Also, they have scheduled it way before. There was already information when Cyanogen OS 13.1 is coming to this phone before you could buy it. So please just be careful and don't whine about update. Everyone would rather like good and stable update over some quick and buggy update. And only most of premium devices are getting update now , not this price range.

100% True.
To that guy that was talking without knowing anything:
CM13 was scheduled for ZUK Z1 way before i get it, and i get this device like one month ago, but they are working on it offline for sure. They prefer to get a fully working ROM to a device than give it a full buggy one. Me and @MrColdbird just could not wait more until they release their source, and i came from a nexus device (pretty sure you know that i downgraded from android 6.0 to 5.1.1 when swap devices), and we decided to work on 6.0 to give users an early experience of CM13, because we can't handle 5.1.1 anymore.
We made a almost full bringup of 6.0 devtree and kernel, and we made a port from a completely different CAF branch, in about 15 days, imagine in what time can CM do it, as they are maintaining this device. Even CM for Nexus Line and OPO (their big son), have bugs on SystemUI and other things, do you think they will even consider about making builds to another phones?
I think almost android users prefer a 100% working device with less features, than a device with newest Software and filled you bugs.
So are u still arguing?
If you don't like CM devices, just don't SPAM our threads like you have reasons to do so.
Go SPAM your device thread, and leave us alone.

João Paulo

I'm new to this Cyanogen/CM and don't know how Cyanogen updates their phones, but from their page at /support it doesn't look like any of their phones got version marshmallow. Are they reliable with updates? I'm wondering how long will Z1 be supported.

we will wait
i see right now all waiting 6.0 and cm 13
me too and im one from those dont know any thing about flashing but i thank u guys for ur work
and i wait the 6.0 for my zuk
and i want to be helpful
if u want any thing to do with my phone to test or somthing i will do
iam Arabian user for the cm 12.1 now
its very good
waiting ur updates soon as possible

If you are fine without a fingerprint reader for now then you can just run the unofficial CM13. JoaoPaulo will implement the fingerprint reader later in January.

Hey, I really would like to test your CM13 build. You wrote, that it is important to backup the persist-partition, if we want to change back to CM12.1. Can I do this with the 'partition backup & restore' app? And just restore the perisist partition after reflashing CM12.1? Or is it included, when I make nandroid-backup via TWRP? Thank you very much!

You can back it up in a root terminal via the following command.
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img
And no, it's not part of a nandroid backup. But yes, any mean of backing up and restoring partitions should (theoretically) work.
Although I'm not entirely sure that restoring the partition in a running Android OS is possible as the partition might be mounted at the time. Restoring it via fastboot or TWRP will work though.

CyanogenMod for OnePlus 3T ?!

After I've reat a lot of threads about the OnePlus 3T, it seems that CM13 for the OnePlus 3 isn't compatible to the OnePlus 3T. Unfortunately there don't even exists a correponding thread in the CM forum for the OnePlus 3T. Even more unfortunately - I've also reat, that the developers won't support the OnePlus 3T.
Is that true... ore just a bad joke?

So, CM isn't compatible with a Snapdragon 821? Because that's the only real difference. I don't think so somehow.....it's more likely that some developers are resentful that OP discontinued the OP3 and started the OP3T and most developers bought a OP3, thus aren't buying a OP3T and make the small changes necessary to make ROMS work on OP3T?
So what about trying to do it yourself =)

I´m interested to learn but if cm needs to be built from scratch, that will be far away from my knowledge
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/help-development-t3508892
I'm almost certain someone will build it at least since the Oneplus 3 is supported. Worst case I will build it myself. Got it to boot on the Huawei P8 so it shouldn't be too difficult for the 3T. I'm more interested in an AOSP build.

I prefer Resurrection remix but cm is a very good start. Do you need to create all the drivers self or how does it work when the first build should be created?
Anyone already working on this? I thought about it, but it would be my first build... could be fun.
I think there are few things like sd 821 which make op3 cm doesn't work on op3t, it should be compatible mostly.
This should help: hxxps://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_oneplus3 hxxps://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

As soon as the device and kernel trees are up RR will be officially supported
And personally. I don't think Source will release until nougat. Why would they release them with nougat less then a month away. Why would Devs spend the time making a rom when nougat is almost here.
If Oneplus 3T and 3 are mostly identical, then could all you really need for CM14.1 would be to edit the script in meta>google>android>script? or is CM not that simple?

That is an incredibly sage observation. If there are developers ready plug the CyanogenMod hole for the 3T (and I'm confident there's at least one or two), it'd be silly for them to plug it with CM13.1. The first CM build the 3T will see is likely 14.1.
If and when it does drop a month or two from now, I'll be abandoning OxygenOS immediately and permanently..

People, DON'T do this

I may have this wrong, but I was looking at CM ROMs over at the oneplus 3 forum (dev), and it appears that the first version of CM wasn't release for a little over 2 months from the release date of the oneplus 3. I wouldn't expect anything quicker over here (if anyone is trying). (well, someone is always trying).
I've built CM12 and 13 on various devices. There are guides all over the place that make it a matter of "process of elimination of errors" just to build, which can take from an hour to forever. (or a week) ; -- Getting it to boot is another thing entirely. You can get all of the useful blobs for the 3t even now from system.img (3.5.3) and build 3.5.3 based ROMs.
People are making the difference between 3t and 3 sound like a gaping chasm, when it's not very clear that there's a significant difference in instruction sets. Maybe the case is more than some developers don't want to support the 3t and all it's associated "problems". (some of those problems are just perceived problems). IF they just do the bare minimum and release 3t ROMs and Kernels then there'll be near chaos with a ton more people whining about something that doesn't work. Since the processor (and GPU) are different, then of course, that'll be a target for whiners that can't handle getting something for free and the few bugs that go with that. The thing that keeps me off of public development (these days) is how much crap I had to listen to while doing it ~3-10 years back.
I'm guessing a "fresh" set of people will do these next iterations of CM-NN.X coming along. Also, it would be somewhat "inspiring" if OnePlus would release those damn Camera sources (or even blobs).

i'm a developer lel...i bought a oneplus3t and i think that port of a oneplus3 rom isn't too difficult, the snapdragon820 and the snapdragon821 are basically the same processor, the only difference is the clock.so..for the building the device tree is identic, what changes is the kernel and the vendor..for the kernel i can use the same patch that cm have used for the oneplus3 so probably i'll support the oneplus3t. My rom isn't a cm based but when we talk about kernels and vendors the rom don't make any difference.

trust me, if you want to port a nougat rom or any versione of android on a non-nexus or on a non-pixel device don't build aosp...build AOKP, DirtyUnicorns (they are aosp based but they have a lot of modifications for non-nexus devices) or at last cm, cm is caf and with a caf base you can try to port the rom but don't belive to make a completly functional rom, for now doesen't exist a nougat kernel for oneplus3t so..if you succesfully build the cm probably will not boot or you could have many other problems.

Android 8.0 on the SM-T285

As many of you heard, android 8 has now been officially released. I will be working to get an AOSP version working on the 7" LTE tablet, I have heard that there may be significant HAL changes so it may take some time. I have just released the august update for the SM-T285, I've been also working to get a stable repo out for this device in the last couple of weeks. Anyway wish me luck.
Update 08/24/2017 - I was able to download the 8.0.0_r4 aosp sources and got it to compile the modified device tree. There seems to be significant changes with some HAL libraries, vendor specific libs are now moved to its own place in the system image. Will now proceed to actual testing and porting.

I won't be directly developing for the T280 sadly. There may be subtle differences at the kernel level and some components (e.g. GPS, touchscreen) which prevents ROMs for the T285 from working with the T280. However my work with the T285 should greatly speedup development for the T280 once the first custom ROMs arrive.

I remember some people tried on my CM/Lineage/Omni based roms on their T280 and it failed to boot, though I can't tell the method they used to flash those ROMs so it is possible that their methods are incorrect. As for stock ROMs this is new information for me if that is the case. I am unable to verify these as I don't have a T280, though if there is a dev who would like to try if would be nice.

Bacoor,
I've just bought a Galaxy Tab A6 LTE (SM-T285) and haven't rooted or done anything to an android phone in over 5 years. Feeling Green as hell! I'm back to being a newbie. Any suggestions you can offer to me on a guide and which TWRP and Android I should install on my phone. I'll need some tutorial help as I feel uneasy. Last Time I did rooting and custom roms was way back on the HTC Hero and then the HP Touchpad to Cyanogenmod.
Well with Oreo comes project treble which does in fact mess with the HAL libraries a lot. Maybe that means there is hope the Galaxy Tab A Line will get "Treble-ized".
Good news if we are.

I am still on Android 5.1.x rooted, and probably only version for T285 which every feature is tested working.
Intended to upgrade to Android 6 or 7, but there isn't any stable firmware which is bug-free (ie. GPS and video recording).
Not optimistic on 8.0 being bug-free when the 6 and 7 not fixed after such a long wait (months).

How Do I Test this ROM
I have a T285 and I want to test this rom where do I download it?

best z3c rom in 2019?

at this stage, which is the best? Carbon or Omnirom or Lineage?
(perfer best camera, and good battery) without google, with microG
is 8.1 currently more stable than 9?
thanks
I still use the Stock MM, but I only use it for playing emulators in RetroArch, tried Lineage 16 yesterday, but there's no Dualshock 3 support, so I came back to Stock MM
The Lineage 16 is smooth and probably almost all things works, and apparently it is frequently updated, you can check for yourself, or at least read all the forum comments

Controller support is pending for review at LineageOS now: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_base/+/254092
It is likely that it will get merged into LineageOS 16 soon.

thanks for the great news
carbon 6 oreo has worked the best for me. also tried carbon pie and lineage oreo and pie. carbon pie does not have radio and lineage seemed less snappy... at least for z3 which is quite similar. i had been using existenz mm for 3 years, quite happy for locked bootloader/stock based but as years pass i find more and more apps requiring newer android. it is my daily driver.
I've used carbon 8.1 for just over a year, thought it was great.
I'm now using LOS v17 as of last week and I think it's awesome
I'm using an MM based rom, the Flyme 6 OS beta. It has some minor bugs, but I use it daily.
Can anyone explain to a noob what u mean when saying i use this i use that?
Are you saying u basically have done an installation of this type with different "OS for mobile" versions of your choice ? Which are cointained in these LOS 16 ... 17 etc and these do contain android versions?
I want to buy this one and upgrade it to 8.1 and then 9 I guess if not 10.. i doubt that 2 RAM are ok, I hope that this phone can last for 5 years AT LEAST.
thanks very much for sharing your experiences guys

Question What's the most stable and least problematic custom ROM for SPES?

HI all, what do y'all think is the most stable and least problematic among all the custom ROMs for SPES? I'd like to know 'coz I'm tired of backing up my files and switching to other ROMs when there's something wrong with my current ROM, thanks!
In my case it is Evolution X (both Android 12 and Android 13) for a simple reason:
It is one of the few ROMs that has solved a bug with the Goodix fingerprint readers, which is that it does not let the screen turn off correctly, since it takes the FP as a button. Well, I know that Pixel Experience also solved it but I had a bad experience with that ROM.
Used Pixel Experience for 2 months. It's smooth
Been using Evolution X for a week, my only complaints are some bugs like fingerprint not working until I unlock the phone on some instances
Planning to move to CrDroid sometime next week tho, idk I'd recommend use them all and decide what you should use

Well, then back to official MIUI I suggest. Nobody can assess what "something wrong" means to you. Rom development is an ongoing process, bugs happen. For some a (slightly) lower sot is "wrong" for others the gaming performance is "wrong". I find this kind of questions difficult since more people want just ready to use roms without the more or less hassle that may come with software in development from and for the community and developed by learning hobby developers, enthusiasts or semi professionals or as often seen tech students. This is not how this all here works. I'm using pa sapphire beta for weeks now, which definitely has its pros and cons (for example). But I'm cool with it since it's stable in case of random reboots and its overall performance (nearly no sudden performance drops in general usage). Where for others the small hiccups it has are unacceptable I'm clearly happy with it (until another interesting rom or update comes up ). Long story short, it depends on what "something wrong" means individually since there are several stable and 'well performing' projects out there. Cheers
Till now the most stable rom is undoubtedly crDroid 8.8 or 8.9 Android 12... You should give a try

I actually was on cdDroid since 8.7 but then 8.9 has the goodix bug, which made the phone incredibly annoying to use, so I tried Evolution X on Android 13 and its stable, for now, but I'm probably gonna get back to crDroid when the goodix bug will be fixed.

Too bad,
I'm using crDroid 8.9 (Android 12) right now and I would say it's far the most stable ROM i have used on this phone
I tried all of them from XDA and out of XDA, from the lot of available ROMs, the simpler, less customizable seems to run smoother than all the rest, PixelOS v13 takes the credit. I personally prefer something more customizable, and the better for that is AncientOS-Shield, of course, it could have its cons, as the battery consumption within other things, so, finally, you'll find that you should give it a try in your own, the experience from others also can help you, to decide, not to use it, but to try it (or not)

Thank you for this information, Subway.
Unfortunately, I'm struggling to search and find either of the ROMs you mention specifically for spes or spesn, which is a pity because I was hoping to take a look at PixelOS.
Would you be able to help with a link please?
EDIT: I found PixelOS, but it is unofficial and from July 22

LineageOS 20 Official available?

Hi.
LineageOS 20 is now officially released, but I can't find it for Sony Xperia XZ1c.
Does anyone know where it can be downloaded?
Thanks
There isn't official Los 20 for the XZ1c, but you have the unofficial version by derfelot. It works the same as the official versions for other devices, the only differences being the lack of OTA updates and the time between updates varies. I think we're getting an update to the Los20 rom soon, since I see commits submitted in github.
Hi,
I've installed the previous unofficial version on my XZ1c, and am looking forward to the mentionned unofficial LOS20 update before I install it (I didn't see it was already available at the time I installed 19 in december). I have a question, not too silly I hope :
I've read on LineageOS website that if some developers have a running and reliable LOS version developed for a device that is not yet officially supported, they can submit their version so that then the version becomes "official" and one can get it from LOS website. Is it planned with this unofficial LOS version ? why / why not ?
Thanks
I think It's not official because the devs don't want to involve/don't have the time to become official maintainers, instead releasing updates less frequently. Basically It's a responsibility. That's what I think and personally I'm fine with the unofficial builds, these devs do a lot already.
So in theory, If someone has the skills/time to maintain this device officially, It could become one without an issue.
Let me ask another question (since this is new post):
Which of available ROMs suits You all best and why?
I Was on Havoc 4, then 5, Lineage 17, now I'm back to Havoc 3.11 but this one gets random freezes and battery heats up. Only issue I have with new releases is lack of Android Auto support.

Hi, I don't have an answer to your question since so far I've tested only lineage 19. But I'd like to ask you why you chose to go back to Havoc 3.11 even though it heats and freezes ? (Why not a more recent ?)
And what are the differences between Havoc and LOS in everyday use, what did you personnally notice / prefer ?

Ok, indeed it would add more work/responsibility to the developpers.

Hi,
I wanted to try and test Android Auto mostly to be honest.
As per differences - Havoc gives You way more options to customize whole phone (appearance), have more features (gestures, status bar, dock etc., you might even forget half of the settings after finishing configuring it), Lineage on the other hand I believe consumes less battery, appears to be quicker, is neat.
But I've tried either Havoc and Lineage on Android 12 and both works smooth. Testing Lineage 20 currently and can't say any bad word. But I'm kind of lucky with custom ROMs, never had any major issues, all worked fine always
