CyanogenMod 12 for HTC One Mini 2 (Memul)

Hi guys,
Thought I would start a thread for users of CyanogenMod 12 for HTC One Mini 2 (memul).
I have installed a nightly dated 24th February 2015. It seems to be working great, my only issues have been:
After phone restart, the first time you call someone you cant hear them. Call them again, the problem is fixed and doesnt seeem to come back for that contact. (will happen again for other contacts the first time you call them though).
Camera is very laggy and doesnt respond well at all...the viewfinder is super stuttery and laggy and when you hit the take a picture button it can take a second or two to respond. I dont use the camera much so it doesnt bother me.
Have had some problems with the music player not outputting music to the headphones after a while, but taking the headphones out, pressing play so it plays out the speaker, then putting the headphones back in fixes this. Again,
not a big issue.
Official TWRP stops working after going through setup, but factory reset from within CM12 fixes it if you do have to re-flash or something.
So I recommend CM12 latest nightly for our phone, its better than CM11 and actually had less problems than the Release channel rom for our device (CM11). Although that ROM says it has no known issues, there are known issues that have not been noted on the wiki.

Hey thanks for doing this, I am considering CM12 on my phone too. i use the loud speaker and the camera a lot, does this impact the sound quality? i really enjoy the boom sound on this phone.

Loud speaker works fine, and one of the great things about cyanogenmod is the built in system level equalizer, so boom sound equivalent is built in. Camera, on the basis of the build i am using from mid Feb, is not so good...actually the pictures are not so bad but the actual viewfinder is very laggy and pressing the take shot button is slow to respond. It could be fixed in newer nightlies, I have been away from home for over a month but when i get back ill flash a new nightly.

Thanks for the advice, I installed march 25th build last night.
From your first post, only problem i experienced was the camera, its still very laggy, and the picture quality dose not compare well to the original. I have tired third party camera app but no joy, similar issues. Other than that, happy to say every thing else is working fine, i will update regularly to see if camera improves.

Hi all,
I'm using CM12 since 2 weeks. In some case, the phone is very laggy. For example, with Chrome or also when opening new apps, of when i switch from app to other.
Maybe i'm not using the correct boot or recovery or radio.
Can you tell me which one is recommended with the CM12 ROM ?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I have been flashing the latest nightly. I think we need to log a JIRA issue for the camera, but I havent checked if someone already did. It doesnt seem to be getting better does it?
Dont use chrome...if you dont like the cyanogen browser, try firefox XD
The best recovery is TWRP, see the other posts in our part of the forum about this. Make sure your get the U-RA version of TWRP as the official TWRP page doesnt list our device for latest versions.

Also I should note that the calendar doesnt work in this ROM in offline mode, which is true for all Cyanogen ROMs i believe. But the solution is to install from DroidForge the offline calendar account, and then you can enter items in the calendar without google calendar, or sync USB with outlook etc (latter requires purchase of sync program separately to go on your PC).

Bad news for CM12 on memul: the only developer u-ra has stopped working with our device. So there are no new nightlies anymore since 04/11 and we don't know when it will be going on.

That is bad news alright, Is there any way for me to get back to stock rom and wait for official lollipop release? I am quiet new to this.

Tempting Android N AOSP

Very tempted to update to Android N (Team FXP AOSP)
But I value my camera quality (Using DRM fix kernel, works great)
Knowing that the Xperia is never going to get android N, due to google removing the Z3's kernel from their source, would it be worth updating to AOSP, basically removing all the features that are so good?

You answered your own question, stick to stock if you want a camera that works 100% well. AOSP camera has never been good for any phone and the camera on Nougat barely works anyway.
Next best thing is Concept ROM, which still has a decent camera

I'm tempted to try Nougat AOSP. I don't mind losing the camera on Z3c that much since I prefer my camera on my G4. But I don't know how to install it. Is there a guide? That's up? Last time I checked Sony's site the guide was down.
Two qustions, how bad does the camera become, is it still usable for simple random snaps to send to friends on IMs?
What is DRM fix kernel?
TIA

Lol nougat barely works. I've been running it for days now. My opinion is nougat is excellent on z3c. I can upload a flash able zip with full Google apps if people are interested

That does sound good. Get 6-8h SOT with SLiMM ROM. Do you know how much you get on this one?
Also could you do me a favour and check which Android Security Patch it got? It would be awesome if PA is up to date with that.
TIA

Security patch is September. Its built off the main branch of AOSP google sources. So security will always be uptodate

Please could provide a link to the Rom Nougat 7.0

Can you please share the gapps, or tell me which ones you are using? I got cm gapps or open gapps from cm website (for 7.0) and my google play services keep crashing.
Thanks,

Is where I am posting all the builds I put together. So be warned that if it doesn't boot it was just a test version. AFAIK the latest ROM should boot fine without issue. GApps are already installed on all the flashable zip versions in that location

Hey thanks. Quick question, you said you have been running nougat on your device and everything (but the camera) seems to be working. I just installed it last night (and my gapps are working as well now) and I already noticed a couple of bugs. First and most important, i can't hear the person on the other end of the line. It appears that my earpiece is not working. The person on the other end can hear me, but I can't hear that person. Second and minor issue, once i plug in my z3c to charge, the battery icon top right shows the charging sign as it should. However when i unplug, that charging sign doesn't go away. So far i have noticed these bugs, can you confirm if you are not facing these bugs (so I know its my device that is messed up).
Thanks,

Hi!
I'm using the latest AOSP for our devices, and facing thiese bugs too. ( 20160912 ). Sometimes I've got calling bug when I can't hear the other person on the line, but he can hear me. Just a restart solves it, but I've got thiese problem nearly evry tenth call time... And one more thing, while i'm on calling and my phone set to minimum volumes, everyone else could to hear my phones speak... or I can say it, what you're talking about. Like when i set the speak to a loudspeaker, as though it were the whole conversation. The speakers are very loud on minimum volume, and not too much louder on maximum settings. ( but, i think they are a known bug ).
Second, the cahrging icon. Yes I experienced it too, when you disconnect the charger from the phone, the icon remain the same, like when the charger plugged in.. And I think, something gping on the background, because my battery goes down nearly 30 percent by a night ( 8h ).
About the rom speed. I think, it runs very smooth / fine until more than five software parallel, ROM while fast. If more than five program run in the background, ROM start to tear, slow down. If you delete them from the memory, the system will be fast again.
I tried to take a logcat with "aLogcat" from playstore, but it's not working. I remember it from my previously phone age, i must convert it to system app... But now, I can't do this, because i did it with Titanium Backup, and now they not support andoid N..
Anyway, I think its will be a very good AOSP rom... ( without camera :/ )

NEWBIE: What is the most stable build right now?

Greetings all, I installed CyanogenMod version 11-20141112_SNAPSHOT-M12-ovation way back. It has always been unstable and frustrating so I just walked away from the project.
Now it is 2018 and I'd like to take another crack at it. Last time I followed a guide I found online but this time I'm trying to put a bit more forethought into it and want to start from the ground up.
So first things first, what is the most stable, responsive build for the Nook HD+? I don't think I need the latest and greatest, I just want my Vudu to not crash, be able to start the dang thing up, and not have my battery drain randomly.
Thanks in advance!

amaces Lineage OS 14.1 lnos_ovation-ota-NJH47F.171021.zip - You must install pico gapps to get through initial setup easily. Apart from that, this rom is very solid. secretwolf98 is also posting builds, but I have not tested them yet.
Unlegacy-Android Nougat ua_ovation-7.1.2-20180111-0528.zip - Has a wifi bug where you lose settings after reboot. The easiest way to work around this is to connect to two wifi networks, and then disable and re-enable wifi two times. You will autoconnect to the first network automatically from then on.
amaces Marshmallow aosp_ovation-ota-MOB30Z.160820.zip - This is the most stable and mature rom in my opinion. The one major bug is that for wifi to connect on boot, you have to pull down the notification bar completely and press the wifi button to show available networks.
Edit: Forgot to mention that all these recent unlegacy-android based roms are much more stable than roms of the past. No more ANR loops, random rebooting, and the need to disable hardware overlays. Everything is generally working and stable.

amaces Lineage OS 14.1 lnos_ovation-ota-NJH47F.171021.zip looks to be the way to go, Thanks!

AFAIK HDMI output does not work in recent years (unlike with CM11). Or did it change?

Yes, afaik that is still true. I haven't got around to testing yet, but I think cm11 is still being built and is probably quite stable now days. I don't think I'd recommend buying that hardware as even the Nook's own screen is too high a resolution for it's own processor and graphics chip. I'm amazed it plays YouTube [email protected] as well as it does.

Stuck on rooted OOS 5.0.8 - Now what? OOS 9.x.x with(out) full wipe? Custom ROM?

Hi guys,
my OP3T is increasingly getting on my nerves and I'd love some input on what I should do next. I've been running rooted OxygenOS with TWRP and SuperSU - as far as I can tell, this is old technology. Every time Oneplus released an update, I'd download the full zip file, flash it in TWRP and flash SuperSU over it. Reboot and I'm up and running again right away.
Now with the OOS 9.x.x release issues, things are getting a bit more complicated - I think this might be the right point in time to do a full wipe, back up everything via Titanium Backup and start fresh with a new custom ROM that will (maybe) provide updates for the next year or two.
In general the OP3T is starting to get a little slow. Google Assistant is flakey (Sometimes doesn't activate properly on "OK Google", sometimes plays the beep and then doesn't record any commands, sometimes pops up behind the home screen icons so you can't read any of the text, sometimes just ignores the "OK Google") and the battery life is going downhill a little bit. I'm hoping a fresh wipe and maybe a new ROM will help here. I also need to take care of the earpiece issues - mine is clogged with dust, as are many Oneplus phones if Google results are anything to go by...
So I have a few options:
1. Sell the OP3T cheap (can't give it to my girlfriend because of the earpiece), buy a Pixel or some other phone
2. Upgrade the OP3T to OxygenOS 9.x.x and keep my data with this method (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/guide-cope-9-0-3-5-0-8-firmware-barrier-t3941164)
3. Upgrade the OP3T to OOS 9.x.x, wipe everything and move to Magisk or something like that - what are my options here? Is Magisk the go-to method to get root these days?
4. Pick a custom ROM, wipe everything and just move to that. Anyone have a recommendation that's pretty much stock Android, stable and will likely receive regular security updates for the next one or two years? Easy updates with root would be a definite plus!
Any suggestions? Half of me is about ready to trash the OP3T and just get a Pixel now that I can't hear callers when I answer the phone

You could get the ear piece and microphone ports cleaned.
You could do a clean install.
You could install custom ROMs
You could upgrade.
These are all choice you make.
My personal choice: I'm keeping my phone for at least 4 years. I'd be happy very with just OOS (I think it's the best rom I've ever used), but I want security updates. And for that reason I use LineageOS (I've been using it and CM since 2012).
You make your choice based on what matters too you.

Hi Bill,
thanks for your answer.
Of course it's a personal choice that I'll have to make - I'm just looking to get some more info and pros/cons for each choice before wasting my time. Cleaning my earpiece is something that'll take an hour or so of careful fiddling (Is there a permanent fix to get it dustproof? Maybe an aftermarket dust gasket of some kind?), and backup/wipe/flash/restore is something that'll certainly take a chunk out of one of my weekends. All in all that's probably 12 hours of my life I'm not getting back.
Mainly what I want to know is: Is wiping the phone flashing a custom ROM like LineageOS viable for reliable day to day use on the OP3T? How has your experience been compared to OxygenOS in regards to:
-Updates (both security and Android version) - Is the update process seamless now or is it still done purely by a flash from recovery?
-Stability (I'm seeing only nightly builds on the LineageOS page [https://download.lineageos.org/oneplus3] - are there stable or even milestone builds?)
-Feature completeness compared to OxygenOS... do things like double-tap-to-wake work?
-Root... as I asked in my OP, what method is standard these days? Lineage suggests its "AddonSU" package but everyone else seems to say Magisk ist the way to go...?
-Is anything broken?
?
Does anyone else have alternative suggestions in regards to ROMs that may be exactly what I'm looking for? Something that looks and feels exactly like OxygenOS?

Updates: I dirty flash them in recovery once a month.
Security updates: Los gets them every month. OOS may get one more update, but that will be the last.
Completeness: I find Los as good as OOS. And Nlos (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...elopment/rom-nlos-16-0-t3879405/post78433980) even has scrolling screenshots. Note: I don't care much about the camera as I rarely use it.
Root: I've been using Magisk since SuperSU became unsupported. I like it better than SuperSU. I have absolutely to problems with it.
Broken: nothing's broken for me.
But you would have known all of this if you read through the various threads. And there's no "best" rom as it's a subjective decision.
So jump in and try things for yourself.

Some hand holding with firmware upgrades, running LOS+microg

I have been running LineageOS+MicroG on my last 3 phones but am mostly a novice. LineageOS just packages things well enough that getting it installed is pretty easy. Most recently, I updated to 17.1 on my Payton device, and voila, I've got a problem where the phone reboots after powering on. Happens much faster with the radios on, much slower with safe mode and airplane mode on. So the obvious answer is usually "flash back to stock and try again". Here come my questions... Please keep in mind I also run Linux.
1. When people talk about going back to stock, doesn't this always entail losing your data? How do those of you who use your phone as a daily driver manage this? I've not heard great things about doing TWRP backups, and the amount of configuration I have to do at new-install time is crazy.
2. While running LineageOS or other such custom ROMs... How do you get "hardware updates": upgrades to things like modem/radio firmware that are outside the realm of the OS (if there is such a thing). I've had a few problems (including the current one) that I _suspect_ are related to running old "firmware" as I would normally call it. The solutions that I _think_ I've seen for this look like they are Windows-specific and also require going back to stock or losing your data. It's puzzling to me why updating hardware would require going back to stock, unless you need to let the stock OTA updates install in order to actually GET that firmware.

1) To my knowledge and at least for me, 'we' are using Android 9 firmware with Android 10 OS. I do not expect any further firmware updates.
2) I've been told that LOS is running slower on X4 compared to other ROMs such as Pixel Experience, but I can't speak for either as I use HAVOC. I can't speak for the rebooting issue though, I haven't looked at the X4 LOS thread much.
*3) LOS to my knowledge woln't work with MicroG because it doesn't allow for spoofing. HAVOC does, and personally I was using Android 9 w/ HAVOC and MicroG so I could use the GCam but due to personal reasons I had to install GPlay and so at the same time I also upgraded to Android 10. One point at least in my experience, the phone was getting more and more difficult to use over time but rebooting the phone fixed it completely. I almost never rebooted my phone back on 9 so it caught me off guard personally.
It sounds like you might be trying to go down a more privacy centered phone like I was until recently. Personally, I liked the Android 9 w/ HAVOC and MicroG. I can give you my list of apps I used but you probably know most of them (Simple Mobile Tools, OSMAND, K9, Fennec, NewPipe, VLC ect.) The launcher would get a little buggy (context menus would stop working after a while on app icons) and for some reason the audio would start for a split second, pause, for a sec, then continue. Other than that, it was great. I used that config setup for a year.
On a completely unrelated note, AT&T will most likely not work with the unlocked X4 after a couple of years, doesn't affect me but just a heads up.
