NOTES

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS 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. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

What's working :

Boots
Wifi
Bluetooth
Camera and Camcorder(video recorder)
Video Playback
RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)
Audio ( Recording and Playback )
Sensors
Fingerprint
Notification LED
FM Radio
GPS
NFC
Hotspot

What's not working / bugs:

Camera is / looks zoomed when recording a video (it seems to be same on stock)
HDR?
IMS/Volte

Requirements

Huawei Nova CAN-L11 (should work on the other models too)

Unlocked bootloader ( here's a guide about how to unlock it)

TWRP. The TWRP made by @Grarak is also working fine. You can find it here.

Installation

Starting with January 2018 builds you need Nougat /product partition otherwise you'll get bootloop. To get Nougat product partition, you must install / flash EMUI 5 or restore this TWRP backup of Nougat /product partition (more details here). You don't know how to restore that backup? Check the steps from this post.

Make sure you meet the requirements listed above.

Download the ROM and put it on sdcard. If you want GAPPS too, then download Open Gapps too (choose arm64, 7.1 and pico).

Reboot in TWRP by pressing all 3 buttons (Volume UP + Volume Down + Power).

Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.

Flash the ROM from the directory where you've placed it.

Flash GAPPS (OPTIONALLY).

Reboot.

Thank You #Henkate for keeping Nova alive!

Hi, i was waiting for LOS14 so much, thank you for the hard work <3. I just have a few concerns about the unlocking bootloader/rooting/twrping stuff of my MLA-L11, since noone of the methods has been confirmed to work on that model.. And i simply can't risk a 300 € brick. I'm confident with modding, the method seems crystal clear.. Just asking the Dev if he thinks it should works for me. Also, if i should take some cautions and how. Android 7, EMUI 5, full stock. Of course modding is always a risk, but.. you know what i mean. Thanks in advance, i hope that's not off the topic!

sk8buoy · Nov 14, 2017

Works fine here, thanks a lot for the hard work !!!

wangdaning · Nov 14, 2017

Will give it a shot this weekend. I am a teacher and students are doing mid term exams this week, so I kind of need my phone.

Vinnom · Nov 14, 2017

For some reason, I can't get it to boot. It is on LOS bootanimation and doesn't boot =/ can't even get a log.

Clean format always, I tried with stock open gapps, pico open gapps, without open gapps. It seems something is wrong with my phone.
then i thought the issue could be I'm coming from EMUI 5.
Then I tried to restore bluesmoothie backup and put LOS over it, nothing =/

I don't know why =/

#Henkate · Nov 14, 2017

To all people: I would appreciate if you could write the Nova model on which you've flashed LOS14, if your model is other than CAN-L11.

Hi there!
Thank you too for the kind words!

I don't know if it'll work, but it has been confirmed that MLA-L03 has been unlocked with the same method. Theoretically, it should work on your MLA-L11 too since it's one of MLA series.

Also, the process of unlocking bootloader is "general", it isn't meant only for one or two phones/models. If I'm not mistaken, I think you can't even brick a phone when you're trying to unlock the bootloader.

If you'll unlock the bootloader and by any chance LOS14 isn't booting on your model, you'll have to relock the bootloader, download EMUI 5 firmware from Firmware Finder and install it.

LOS 13 could be flashed from EMUI 5, so it shouldn't matter for LOS 14 neither.

What's your Nova model? I've forgot

.

Did you take a look at the recovery log after you're flashing LOS 14 or the output from recovery itself? Does it really gets flashed properly?

LOS 13 could be flashed from EMUI 5 too, so that shouldn't matter neither with LOS 14.

I'll make an eng boot.img later (when I'll get access to PC), so you'll be able to take a logcat during booting.

Mine is CAZ-TL10 (chinese). I'll try again (today I won't be able to, maybe thursday or friday) and take the recovery.log which I forgot :/
However, the twrp output was fine. I had some bad lines:
Failed to mount /cust (always have it)
E: unknown command (two lines of this message after flashing the ROM)

I see.
I have the second error too, after flashing the ROM. I haven't checked why, but it doesn't seems to affect anything.

As I've said, i'll provide an eng boot.img later, so you'll be able to take a logcat during boot.

@Vinnom

Here you go. Install it from recovery.

I have a MLA-L03 and I was on LOS13, followed the steps and everything works fine for me.

Are you having the no sim card bug as well ?

Vive le quebec !!!:good:

Nope, this bug is gone now. When I'm on LTE the icon don't show LTE (it show only the signal strength) but data works fine.

Vinnom · Nov 14, 2017

I thought it would be possible for me to try and flash again only in thursday, but I could today.

I tried to different ways:

Clear flashing;
Formating data;

Neither worked.

I took 2 recovery logs, before and after formating data.
I took a logcat while booting, thanks to the eng boot.img provided.

The logs can be found here.
I don't have a clue why it doesn't boot =/
I took a look at the logs, everything seems to be flashed without any problem and I can't understand right the logcat. I hope it can be useful

imkoma · Nov 14, 2017

Runs good in MLA-L11 with some issues:

The camera stop ramdon
-the front camera have issues with post processing.
Using the OP Camera works good.
-all the cores are 2.02ghz all the time the phone is active

-When you get the kernel CAF will be a perfect ROM. thanks for the hard work hetanke !

The recovery logs looks fine. I see that you have also installed Magisk and a Titanium Backup zip. Just to be clear, you have tried to install it without anything else too?

1) Did you wait about 5 mins ( although i dont think that much time is required)?
2) Can you take a kernel log too?

Run the following command, while booting (let it run few seconds after you think that you have got bootloop):

Code:

adb shell "cat /dev/kmsg"

I cant find anything wrong in logcat neither. I think the stock kernel may not be compatible with your model, so i will need to use the kernel source for your model or compare the two sources and import changes from CAZ-TL10 source into the one im using now.

The stock kernel source which is being used right now is CAZ_NG_EMUI5.0_opensource. According to Huawei`s website, it is meant for:

HUAWEI Nova,HUAWEI Nova Plus, CAN-L10, L11, MLA-L01,L11,L12,L13, Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0

When i search for "CAZ" on their website, i find nothing. But there seems to be:

Cannes-AL10_TL10 HUAWEI nova, Cannes-AL10, TL10, Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0

Perhaps thats the right one for CAZ-TL10 too?

Thank you too for your words!
By the way, its Henkate. You can also call me Robert

.

1) When exactly camera is stopping and how? I didnt encounter this on my CAN-L11
2) What kind of issues does have front camera? My Nova`s front camera got damaged / broken when my Nova has been damaged, therefore i cant use it nor test it.
3) Regarding the cores, ive wrote at "notes" in first post:

The first thing you want to do after first reboot is to install a file manager and rename /system/bin/logd to "logd.bak" and reboot. You have to do this in order to get rid of the high CPU load. Consider this a workaround until the issue gets solved. Note that this breaks logcat, so you'll have to rename it back to "logd" and reboot to be able to take a logcat.

Would be nice if you could share a logcat regarding 1) and 2).
