CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.
These are WIP builds of porting CM12.{0,1} to the Droid 4 (and also other devices using the same device/motorola/omap4-common-infrastructure). They probably won't work, so don't expect too much. Use on your own risk!

SELinux updates.
This requires manual action for applications to continue being able to access their own files when upgrading from 2014-01-14 or 2014-01-15 (older versions are fine)!
Due to SELinux-bugs in 2014-01-1{4,5}, you have to relabel your data-partition on the first boot when upgrading from 2014-01-14/-15. This only needs to be done once. To do this, enable adb/usb debugging and grant root to adb (both in developer settings) and execute via an adb shell:
Code:
su -c 'for i in /data/*; do echo "${i}"; restorecon -DFrv "${i}"; done; sync; reboot'
2015-01-1{4,5}:
More fixes for {,umts_}spyder

thank you @stargo, I am so pleased to see this thread, I was wondering when this thread is going to appear. Looks like I will continue to cling onto my droid 4 for a while, no virtual keyboard can beat a droid 4 keyboard.
Is data encryption enabled by default like on the nexus 6? I read that it greatly reduces the performance of the device. I meant this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/disable-data-encryption-nexus-6/
Once again, thank you so much for your efforts in keeping this device alive.

Cast Screen
Hey stargo. thanks a lot for this! :good:
The 'Cast Screen' under settings pull-down menu is not working. It does not find any of the chromecasts that I have nearby.
Not a big deal, and not a priority at all for me, but just wanted to let you know.
Thanks again!

G'day,
just wanted to confirm the procedure for updating SafeStrap, since some people have CM11 in their stock slot:
in the first step (when you say 'go back to stock'), are you saying simply to boot the stock slot, regardless of ROM (since once SS is unistalled the 'slots' don't exist)?
Or do you mean boot to stock ROM, in stock slot?
I'm guessing it's the former, but I'd like to be sure before taking the plunge =)
thanks for your work! I gave the 2011 version a run over the weekend, it worked pretty well all things considered =)

May not ever work, IIRC, chromecasting the screen requires hardware we just don't have. :[

assuming that cm11 is currently installed in your stock slot and you want to update to the new test safestrap by stargo:
uninstall the existing safestrap using the original safestrap, for instance, if the existing safestrap is 3.73, you should install safestrap 3.73 and uninstall the recovery.
DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE IN THE PROCESS
after you have uninstalled the existing recovery, uninstall safestrap(3.73), and then install the new safestrap by stargo, and install the recovery.
your safestrap is now updated, and nothing will be wiped.
YOU MUST NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE DURING THE PROCESS, you can only reboot after a recovery has been installed.
hope you find this useful

Yes, our GPU driver does not support WFD. And in contrast to the GNEX, Motorola added much stuff to our version, so it's not easy to sync it back with the upstream kernel. Last time I tried that, I ended up with a non-working display and couldn't figure out why...

Just boot to whatever you currently have installed in the stock slot. And I have to underline what @sharptv said, never reboot your phone in the process (it might work when you have the stock ROM in the stock slot, but it will surely break in every other case).

Will cm12 be pre-rooted in future? I can't seem to find anything solid on this, hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on this.

Data doesn't come up on its own, still needs some prodding (selecting the APN) and will go out randomly. Still not ready for prime time, sadly.... :<
It does come up a lot quicker, however.

That's VZW weirdness
But if it comes up, then data is actually passing? Because that is what my patch was intended to fix. Before that the data-indicator would show up, but data would not actually get transmitted...
Can you probably send me the output of "ip route list" and "ip addr list" when LTE data is connected?
Would be interesting to see, what is actually happening now. I can only guess from here...

The deal is, the data works at first, then at random intervals it breaks and needs to be manually reset. I'm travelling right now so I can't really risk using CM12 right now, but I'll get you some logs when possible. JJB is having the same issue, I'll ask him to try and get you some details.

[EXPERIMENTAL] [UNOFFICIAL] Xposed for arm64 devices | 5.1 and 5.0 versions available

arm64 is now officially supported: See here
Old OP
Hello Everyone,
I have successfully compiled Xposed for android 5.1.x for arm64 devices.
I have so far tested this on my Nexus 9 running a custom CyanogenMod based Android 5.1 ROM with SELinux disabled (It may work on ROM's with SELinux enabled but testing has to be conducted.).
Install zip is attached to this post. (The SDK 22 one) This will only install Xposed framework for Android 5.1 for arm64 devices. Please see the original Lollipop post to get the other files you need. (Hint: you only need the Xposed APK from that post.)
I compiled this based off of @romracer's source code for Xposed on Android 5.1.x.
So far I have tested the module Lolistat, It seems to be working well.
Please be patient during boot, let your device boot 10 minutes before reporting that it is "bootlooping"
====================
For Android 5.0.x
I have also compiled Xposed for Android 5.0.x for arm64 devices. I have had mixed results from testers so far. The install zip is also attached to this OP (The SDK 21 one). Many HTC M9 users have reported this caused a boot-loop for them. This will only install Xposed framework for Android 5.0.x for arm64 devices. Please see the original Lollipop post to get the other files you need. (Hint: you only need the Xposed APK from that post.)
Remember to always backup all data before using. Use at your own risk.
Please note: There will most likely be arm64 related bugs with both of these. See this post for more information.
Please be patient during boot, let your device boot for 10 minutes before reporting that it is "bootlooping"

just in case...

I got a new m9 in the box, thinking about waiting to activate it since xposed wouldn't work on it yet.

Well, if you're willing to test and support it, you can post unofficial files for testing...
I have a Nexus 9 with Android 5.0 myself and it's running fairly well. I haven't used any complex modules though.
Be aware that 64-bit ROMs need different handling in a couple of places and break some expectations. For example, initZygote() will be executed twice, as there are two app_processXX processes now. Modules might not expect this. I also didn't succeed to enforce a certain startup order of the processes (app_process64 before app_process32) yet, so results might be a bit random. There are probably more differences like this and it's generally more complex than on 32-bit ROMs. That's why I have only posted files for ARM so far. On the other hand, if you're willing to look into issues that come up (e.g. installation problems, crashes, things that are not working) and do some pre-analysis, that's fine and could bring the project forward. If nothing to major comes up, I can then also include official files with the next version. Additional support would be very welcome anyway.

Framework installation zip attached to OP.

Ohhh didn't even think about that. Would make sense

Thanks for taking this on, joshuabg. I couldn't believe it when I saw this thread. I thought that 5.1 jumped the arm64 shark and we'd never see xposed for N9.
Anyway, I flashed on AICP 4/6 with FireIce K8.3, SELinux disabled and it booted just fine. Tried the following modules, and I see what rovo meant in his post above. It's really hit or miss with the modules just like the [SUPER ALPHA] xposed for 32 bit arm devices. Thanks again for rolling this out to test.
YouTube Adaway - seemed to work, jumped to dozens of random videos and no ads
Minmin Guard - app opened and seemed to operate normally but I think it may have blocked ads across the board without my telling it to do so. I think it also caused an XDA Free force close on opening that wouldn't go away
Swype Tweaks - caused Swype to FC anytime the keyboard should have launched

Yup my bad. Gravitybox says right in the description it'll cause a boot loop on 5.1. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks!

[MODULE] DisableMultiUserMod (build.props) v1.3 (for Magisk 14.0)

Thats my first productive creation for XDA, so dont be to hard to me
I don't like to have features, which I never use, so I always disable or remove everythink i dont need.
On my custom roms I always diable the multi user mode by adding the following line to the build.prop:
Code:
fw.max_users=1
I was annoyed to edit this file after each ROM update.
So I created this module. It just adds the above mentioned line to the build.prop.
It is really simple, but now I don't need to edit the build.prop.
Maybe for someone this can be useful.
It works with:
- Android 6.x (Tested on OnePlus X and OnePlus 3 with CM13)
- Android 7.x (Tested on LOS 14.1 and OxygenOS 4.5.x)
v1.3: Update to Magisk Template 1400 (14.0).

Looks good but I would change the modid to something other than template. This is in the config.sh file and defines the folder it uses under /magisk. Anyways I used your zip as a template for my own build.prop edits that I will post shortly. I'll throw a little credit your way too.

Sorry, I was on vacation and than really busy...
@shinji257: Thank you for the hint. I changed it and uploaded the mod as v 1.1.
And actually I found already a similar magisk module created by user @FHC1998:

That module probably still works (haven't updated it since posted) but the Magisk template is not updated.
My module does pretty much the same thing as yours, there is only one more line on the prop that I add.
fw.show_multiuserui=0
This disable all the UI and configurations sections for multiuser. Its not obligatory, but for me it makes sense to disable the interface aswell if you are disabling the function.
You can add that if the multiuser options keep showing even after disabling multiuser.

When I looked for the build.prop settings to disable multi user functionality I found the mentioned line as well.
But I cannot see any difference if I add it. At least it has not effect on my phone (OnePlus 3, CM13).

It depends on the device, I originally tested on a few, and some needed this line.
For instance, I tested your module on my device (ZenFone 2 laser) and it worked perfectly without the line, but on my friend's ZenFone 2 it kept showing the UI even though not allowing creating more users.

@dima-82 Module works great for me. I'm running a OP3T on offical LineageOS. All the multiuser stuff is gone from the settings and notification shade.

@dima-82,
Hello, I used your module to enable multi user mode, all I did is edited the file inside the .zip where the string to disable the multi user mode is located, and replaced it with the two strings to enable it.
Now I was wondering since this works, could I make a thread with the mod?
I would obviously credit You, and link to Your profile and this thread.

Here is the module on my device :silly:

Of course you can do.
But as mentioned in post #3 there was already a similar module. I think it does exactly what you need.

Yes have other 5 modules

You installed / activated only this very one module and got a bootloop?
Before I created this module I edited the build.prop manually. And if you make a mistake there, you will get a bootloop as well.
May be your OS does not support this property.
I tested on my devices only, and it worked always.
Eventually you can try an other module from @FHC1998, which should do the same:

LineageOS 14.1 Berni's alternative builds

Hi all:
This is a thread for my alternative LineageOS 14.1 roms for suzuran.
I'm building these roms from time to time for my own needs and I think other people should participate.
Since the "official" development of LineageOS 14.1 has been stopped, I decided to build a new version only if the Android security patch level has been changed or I've changed anything.
Download 2021-07-19
This is a 7z archive with the zip'ed rom and the md5 file in it. Please unpack this archive, copy the included two files somewhere to your device, reboot into TWRP and flash this zip file. Enable zip verification and md5sum checking. Maybe you have to rename the md5 file to *.md5sum; depending on the TWRP version you are using.

Features:
OS Version: 7.1.2 Nougat
Kernel: Linux 3.10
New: Android security patch level: 5 June 2021
Using sony blob's from stock version 32.4.A.1.54
Important informations:
You should be familiar with general installation of custom roms.
Required for installation: TWRP 3.1.1 (or newer).
OR use my self built TWRP-version 3.5.2!
No need for making a clean install, but sometimes it helps a lot!
This rom is pre-rooted. For those who want to use magisk or any other rooting tool, you can easily remove this by flashing this file.
Use this rom at your own risk! It comes without any warranty! I'm not responsible for any damage! If you don't agree with that, don't try to flash this rom in any way.
Differences between my version and the "official" one:
Kcal Display Driver - Thanks to @GreyLeshy and @Sony user 16
Voltage Control - Thanks to @GreyLeshy and @Sony user 16
OMS-Support - Thanks to @nathanchance
Added F-Droid and UnifiedNLP! If you don't want this, simply de-install it.
I've included some little extensions like changelog and volume adjustment.
I've set maximum speaker volume to a higher value.
I've increased microphone gain.
I've increased all volume steps from 7 to 15.
I've changed the microfone gain to avoid echo in phone calls.
I've enabled data for MMS.
I've enabled MHL.
Not working:
VoLTE, VoWiFi
If you want to use encryption, you have to disable SIM PIN first!
One (last) request: Please don't ask for including any app. I won't do this, because I want to keep this rom as clean as possible.
Changelog
Troubleshooting:
If you're running into an error, please search in this thread if this error is already posted, before you post it again!
If not, I need a LOG to see what went wrong. Without a LOG I can't help you!
A LOG can be fetched by connecting the device with an USB cable to your PC and then by typing these commands line by line:
Code:
adb root
adb shell logcat -b all -d > logcat
Send my this LOG file via PM.
If you think this could be a SELinux related issue, please try to set the device to permissive mode first.
If the issue is gone, I need the policy file too (plus LOG). Fetch it by typing this line in a terminal:
Code:
adb pull /sys/fs/selinux/policy
If you stuck in a bootloop you can fetch a LOG with this trick:
Press the power button and the volume up button together until the device shuts down.
HOLD the power button.
Release the volume up button and press the volume down button immediately after releasing the volmue up button.
The device should start into TWRP recovery.
Tap on "Advanced", then on "Terminal" and enter these commands line by line:
Code:
cd sys/fs/pstore
cp * /sdcard
Send me the copied file(s), if any, via PM.

Nice

Hi @all:
First of all, please excuse my bad english... :angel:
They said I should create my own thread for my alternative LineageOS 14.1 roms for suzuran. Here it is.
I'm building these roms from time to time for my own needs and I think other people should participate.

Hi ! It would be great if u put out the advantage of yours vs with the official LOS

Berni i said before and i m saying again please make this topic a lineage based rom..
İnclude minimal app for google play store.
And maybe can add substratum inside.. or can be a default diffefent theme ..
I believe you can..
Thx bro.

As I said a few days before: I don't want to include gapps! If somebody wants to use gapps, feel free to flash them separately. You can download them here. You need arm64 and 7.1 for suzuran.

Substratum support is not longer available, because the devs have stopped their development for Nougat since august.

I agree gapps should not be included. It is easy enough to just flash it right after flashing the rom
I am thinking about official vs rom, I think the two roms are probably nearly identical. Probably the most important factor will be the frequency of updates.

You can use AdAway which is an open source host list based ad blocker. See https://adaway.org

I don't see a reason to bake something into the ROM when there are many apps that can do it.
I think something like Xposed-type tweaks being put into settings would be more appropriate. Alleviating the need for xposed. But I don't think it makes sense to load random apps into the ROM.

New version; please have a look at the first post

Awesome work, thank you so much! Flashing it now.
Just 1 question - do you know if encryption works on your builds?

I've never tried it. I've not so good experience with encryption on a stock rom; so I've decided not to use this feature at all!

Hi Bernhard.
Thanks for your hard work!
i have a question for you.... As i understand it you take all the changes/updates from the offifcial lienage and implement them into your own build. And add the changes as described in post 1.
Am i right about this?
I think that battery life is bad on the official compaired to the version you do.
Do you add battery improvements in your build?
Thanks in advance.

Oh, it is not so hard to do this, but, thank you! Sometimes I have to search a few hours or try (and revert) something, but in the end I've gotten everything to work as I like it to work.

I'm using the LineageOS repositories from github as they are, that's right. I don't use my own repo's; nzzane is doing this AFAIK (Klick). A few weeks ago I'm using other repo's, because LineageOS had bad (will say: not working) sources for our devices.
And add the changes as described in post 1.

Yes! :good: One or two of my changes should be implemented into the "official" builds, but until now I don't understand how to use "commitments". Maybe in a few days... :angel:

No. Nothing like this.
On my own device battery life is about three days...

Like other persons, I don't want to have a lot of applications include in the rom. I want to choose the ones I use. This is one reason that made me come to alternative rom.
Another reason is that Lineage use less google s"hit" than stock rom.
So if you have the vision of more app and google stuff include, you better stay on stock. Alternative Roms offers me more freedom; but that's just my opinion...

This is prerooted? There are some of us out there that need to install certain apps before rooting.

That's so great to hear, let's hope they get accepted.
Huge thank you for keeping this device alive Berni!

Is there any known bypass to older devices sign in blocking?

I've got android 4.0.4 and Google sign ins are now blocked on this old version, making it unusable, is there any way around this at all? I've tried various custom ROMs (AOSP 5.1, 7.1, CM11, CM9) all but CM9 face the "play services have stopped" every second and CM9 is the same version I was already using so no difference in sign ins made. Device is GT P3710 (P5 WiFi). I just want to be able to access the play store normally again, I'm not ready to accept this devices life is over yet.

You can spoof your device fingerprint using something like MagiskHide Props Config...
Otherwise, depending on the device, you can try to load a GSI, although Project Treble was introduced with Android 8.0 so it's possible your device isn't capable.
Is your device possibly the GT-P7310 (Galaxy Tab 8.9) and you just made a typo?

Thanks I'll look into it! And yes sorry, I didn't catch that, I indeed meant the GT P7310

Okay. This thread will be moved to that section. In the future, please remember to search before posting; we have an entire section of the forum dedicated to the Tab 8.9.
As for helping you...A peek in that section shows that there's not only TWRP available for your device here but a custom AOSP 7.1 based ROM too.
