    Post Everything Huawei Y550 - Root/CWM/TWRP

    My mistake. No, I did not change the kernel. I am very grateful that it was ported and developed to what we use today. I was under the impression that the builtin Wireguard code was out of date and needed an update to work properly. That's why I started tinkering around with it (in a separate...

    Thanks for this info. I hoped as much, and will not try to build in kernel support any longer. The app itself is very capable of making the VPN work. I use it on my primary device regularly. Thank you, but luckily, my Y550 has returned from the dead. It's WiFi was truly fixed by a thorough...

    FM radio? Would it be possible to add FM radio to this ROM? I have tried to add it myself, but failed. I always end up with a never-ending boot animation. First, I looked at the sources for the Huawei Y550 (LineageOS 14.1) which I regularly build for. It has FM radio support built in. After...

    I think these steps will work: In Settings / System / Updater click refresh, and download the new release. Then, long-tick the downloaded update, choose 'export update'. The first time you do this, you have to give your permission to store the update on Internal Storage. Check with a file...
