You will need to keep this plugged in, as there is apps crashing and no power management feature yet, so battery burns quickly. The only thing you can do with it is interact with it via adb shell.

To go back, just flash the CM10.1 pack

And I've narrowed it down to one error
Code:
/linker ( 532): ics/linker.c:1598| WARNING: Skipping libc.so

Now booting. Need to correct resolution.

How to edit resolution instructions added, let me know if you find a magical number.

Resolution settings should now be listed and they look great.

This sounds pretty awesome. Great work giveen! I'm going to give this a go this weekend when I have some more time. Out of curiosity what kernel are you using? When a few of us ported desktop ubuntu to the nook color we were able to use a pre existing kernel(nookie froyo kernel I believe, though I'd have to dig through a few hard drives to be sure) which saved us some headaches in the beginning)
Keep it up, loving your work

Kernel is stated above, its my custom CM10.1 kernel developed by DJ_Steve and I

There has been no update on this because I am waiting for a new SD card to arrive so I can flash stuff.

Wow ! Congratulations ??

So we are getting a custom ROM finally Thank you very much!
It's a shame: The Pixel C ist the best Android Tablet on the market but it gets almost no community support, because it costs a few bucks more than the usual cheap china crap

i think the bootloader situation is more detrimental to us than the lack of pixel c owners. even chainfire won't mess with it and he owns a pixel.
nice to see a custom rom finally, but it puts the navigation buttons in the middle. that's a step backwards in my opinion.

Nav bar tablet mode is a changable feature in settings

I was at work for 13 hours today so no time for anything else, I can upload a system.img tomorrow if anyone is interested it just needs flashed thru fastboot then you gotta manually wipe data and flash gapps and manually set permissions for gapps I'll see how much time I can set aside later this week for a better method. I pulled the source for depth charge and I'll dig in and see if I can figure out how to use it it's kind of annoying that there's no documentation included how hard is it to write a readme sheesh

This isnt a full rom yet so much as a system.img it still uses the stock kernel so you get whatever that supports for now.
I'm uploading JUST the system.img right now I'll link it shortly.
*and it's up check first post.

Awesome!!!

I'm patiently waiting for updates because I'd love to use this without the listed bugs This tablet really needs a bad ass ROM to unlock it's full potential. Not rushing you obviously, good work takes time!

Sorry been swamped I picked up a 2000 beetle for $600 and am ripping the cylinder head off it now, and I've been working my usual 50-60 hours a week too. Ive been running this daily it works great installation is a bit messy tho I'll get to it as soon as I can

My C just arrived today. I'm very happy to see an Omini ROM available. I run Omni as my DD on my Nexus 6. Can't wait to try this.

I am very excited to see where this ROM goes.

Much excite! Impatiently waiting with patience.

What exactly is causing the issue with the bootloader?

Pixel C was developed as a Chrome OS device, so it has a Chrome OS bootloader. Don't know the implications of that, but apparently it complicates things.

Why should I flash this?
Is there any feature list I missed? Wifi/Touchscreen fixed?

Not really.
First of all, you can't really experience Treble. There's nothing different for the user, it's just for developers to easier port newer Android versions.
Secondly, it's somewhat pointless if it isn't properly implemented by the manufacturer. There's no benefit to port new version "easily" if you hame much more trouble to get Treble in the first place; might as well use those resources to port the ROM "the old way".
And lastly, as long as hardware manufacturers provide new drivers it's better to have it the old way.
Basically, porting Treble to old devices is more or less an experiment and a fun project for devs, not really expected to work flawlessly or take off.

Well if this is mature, it can benefit both parties though IMO
For users, we can finally have an OS for all hardware just like in PC/Laptop enviroment
For devs, more user will use their product (build), mean increase in donation.
Later it would bring forth companies that build a paid/premium ROM. More devs would get a regular payment rather than relying in donations.
The rom can just including the generic driver to make the phone function for later use to install the driver from manufacture.
Manufacture would be forced to release a constant working driver or else get blamed by all parties.
All that later, we can say goodbye to bootloader lock since phone manufacture would just selling a phone, not the OS inside it.

The main issue here is that this thread is not a development thread, just basically a link towards the thread itself. Not sure this is the right place for that

They killed The functionality of it sometime between China ROM 12.0.10 and 12.5. I actually tested it one time. I flashed the oldest China ROM possible by disabling roll back protection in the .Bat script. Then I set up the entire phone. Then OTA updated until hey Google hot mic stopped working.
I can confirm 100% it was working on early versions of the China ROM.

Alternatively you can set it to launch via pressing a button like the power button and then talk into it, only way from what I could tell when I was on the Chinese rom.

There reason this is not working, btw, is that Android 11 requires a certain "hotword" blob to work. I think it's device specific, so if yours is not available (that is, if you device doesn't support Android 11) you'll have this issue on ANY Android 11 ROM, at least for now.

What's the apps name?
Because if you mean the standalone google assistant app it doesn't work (at least not here).
As I said, it seems like people are experiencing this issue on every Android 11 ROM in any device that doesn't natively support it due to how Android 11 handles the hotword.

still no solution?

The Chinese stock version I had, had a mini Google set of apps, it was like a hacked version. It needed full GMS system files but really hard to get it installed while the hacked mini version was there in the ROM. Best solution is to flash the Xiaomi EU ROM.

Yes and it definitely doesn't work from the lockscreen.
And since Assistant isn't a system process on the CN ROM/Xiaomi.eu ROM, if background apps are all killed, Assistant doesn't work unless you manually start it up again.
I moved to the Global ROM (IM) and Assistant works perfectly.

General ColorOS Experience

Hello All
i have Oneplus 10 PRO Chines version, i am the 2nd owner, i got it pre-installed with oxygenOS, i have tried to enable call recording and it succeeded only with root magisk which affected my banking Apps. also one of my banking apps never open with/without root as it was affected with the unlocked bootloader.
i have decided to move to ColorOS and i was surprised, the OS is very stable, it has built in call recording, the phone Battery has a huge improvement over the OxygenOS i am using the phone almost all the time and the battery percentage barely drops. the OS comes with many chines apps which i removed 90% of it. the battery icon change to green when i connect normal charger and change to blue when i connect the 80W charger. it has a built in Mail app which helps me with my work Email in separate app then Gmail, and i feel the phone is more smooth. and i got ride of the orange warning after locking the bootloader.
one note, google services is supported, i only had to download google play store and install it manually.
the below is the steps for migrating from OxygenOS to ColorOS.
1- Downgrade to OxygenOS 12 A17 4.2 GB
2- Install ColorOS 12 A13 6.6 GB
3- OTA ColorOS to 12 A19 about 5.5 GB
4- OTA ColorOS to 13 about 6.5 GB
5- OTA ColorOS to 13 11_C_28 "this is the Latest OTA" 1.5 GB
Warning I have followed a guide here which downgrade to OOS 12 then upgrade directly to COS 13, and my SIM cards did not work neither connecting the phone to PC, i had to use the above yes huge amount of wasted bandwidth but safe and functional.
i wanted to share my experience to help the others, IMPORTANT my phone is Chines N2210 so it comes with ColorOS and it is safe to install it, i don't know if you can install ColorOS on different models. i did not test it and i will not recommend it.

I really recommend testing ColorOS. I'm using C.52 and liked oppo apps. The only reason i sometimes i think go back to OOS, its my language, ColorOS dont have portuguese.

COS has a bunch more spyware. As far as the banking apps, you can hide root access to apps individually.

Can I install it on a NE2215?

are you sure you did it properly? if all you did was install magisk and configure denylist, you did not do everything possible.
you have to use AND ALSO configure 2 additional magisk modules. in addition, you should clear data for a few android services. research a little better and you will pass literally any root check for any app, including banking, market trading, literally anything. it hides bootloader unlock as well as root. the only thing we cannot ever get is full widevine access for full HD netflix (but this is due to OnePlus screwing something up, not because root access and unlock cannot be properly hidden)
you need to look into installing AND CONFIGURING "Universal SafetyNet Fix", AND "MagiskHide Props Config". you can learn how online. good luck.

Can you share the link for ColorOS 12 A13?, I already downloaded a version from 4pda But it doesn't show up in the local update.
Now I'm wondering if I can directly use the coloros rollback to switch roms

How go back to OOS?

Hi, I'm also having the same device NE2210. My bootloader is relocked by the seller.
To go back to Color OS do I need to unlock the boot loader? and follow your instructions.
Did you relocked the bootloader after installed the colorOS ?
