[13/06/2020] Haky86's LineageOS 14.1 Huawei P8 Lite 2017 PRA-LX1

[haky 86]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1 (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. Lineage OS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

 * Your warranty is now void.
 * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.

Requirements:

ROM stuck at animation boot?
this because you must change the file system from F2FS to EXT4 to done boot process
* reboot to TWRP.
* go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe.
* check Data -> Change file system -> select EXT4.
* swipe the screen to wipe it .

How can I fix Sim?
* go to Settings -> Extras -> disable "Sim Card Slot2 " and reboot.

How can I enable Google Codecs
* go to Settings -> Extras -> enable "Use Google H264" (it's a bit laggy but better than nothing).

How to enable Double Touch To Wake?
* go to Settings -> Extras -> enable "Double Touch to Wake"

Should I reflash the vendor partition if come from other roms?
* if you coming from Emui 5.x, the answer is no because the custom rom are based on Emui 5.0 source code, so all you
have to is flashing your favorite custom rom

Audio and camera are not working?
* bring up a logcat to help us, instead of writing useless comments.

I got error 7, how can I fix that?
* use my own TWRP recovery. or you can simply remove the whole assert line in the updater-script file inside the META-INF folder save and re-flash.

How can I fix RIL Crashes

• flash root.
• Copy the phone.prop into /system/vendor and /vendor.
• reboot, now you should able to do calls for more than 2 minuts

Calls still crash even with fix SIM

• Run adb shell and type the following command xxd /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/hisi,modem_id .
• the result will be something like the following out ( for single sim devices):

1|hi6250:/ $ xxd /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/hisi,modem_id
00000000: xxxx x000 ;xx.

• Search for your xxxxx000, and setup the following flags .
  ro.config.client_number=1
  ro.config.modem_number=1
  persist.dsds.enabled=false
  persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds (remove it properly)
• for dual sim devices just edit these 2 flags:
  ro.config.client_number=1
  ro.config.modem_number=1
• Save and reboot.

Oh, finally you did it

You can easy fix deep-sleep issue if you'll apply @XePeleato' patch for surfaceflinger , please take a look here , credit goes to @XePeleato !

Second, you can also easly fix the "reboot to erecovery" issue, by applaying my patch for kernel, you should take a look here as well !

I assume Hotspot isn't working, because you need more patches to kernel ... so you can cherry-pick almost all my commits, but as always you should keep authorship, as much as possible

About camera ?? - you can't enable camera so easy ... I'll let you to try , and if you do not succeed in a week, please let me to know and I'll help you

Good luck !

Sure bro
I'm make a build right now with that patch, for camera I don't see USE_CAMERA_STUB := true in BoardConfig.mk and also my kernel source has 34 repos for external, are they useful? will do a test with them and report you..the rest are perfect

Installed, testing. No reboots so far.

[Vinnipinni]

This works on the P9 Lite 2017 too. The devices have the same hardware, I think even the same Model No. Just wanted to point that out.

I flashed the vendor, did a factory reset in twrp and wiped system, flashed rom zip and opengapps arm64 7.1 pico. it looped on a Lineage logo for 10 minutes. Do i need to format data partition? or factory reset is enough

Data needs to be wiped too everytime you flash a completely new ROM

 

[aciupapa]

Data needs to be wiped too everytime you flash a completely new ROM

so, factory reset from twrp is not enough and i need to choose "format data", the option above twrp slider yep?

Yes.

 

[aciupapa]

Yes.

OK, thanks. I'll back everything up and wait for next build

 

[Vinnipinni]

Yeah. Just keep in mind that you cannot backup data at all. Only the Internal space with your PC. But always make backups of other stuff and keep at least one on your PC, so if something breaks, you can always go back. Data isn't that important to safe, if you wiped data, it's like a factory reset.

 

[haky 86]

Please read the OP, of course you'll need to wipe data, cache, system.

did that. still hangs on lineage bootanimation, waited for 10 mins or so

 

[Carkai]

I don't quite understand how to patch the surfaceflinger. Can someone tell me what am I supposed to do?

 

[veromax]

First my respect. I also tried it. But I failed. Is not bad, there are experts like @haky 86. Great work, thank you.

When I tested the version for the 6x in the morning, I had to format between the data partition and re-install the EMUI. Since then your TWRP works perfectly. Complete backups include Data Partition. Restoring is also perfect. Tomorrow I want to try your Lineage OS. Hope the Revovery works there perfectly synonymous.
