AICP 5.1.1 for Jewel [2/21]

[ocarinaz64]

Welcome to AICP for the Jewel!

NOTE: It shouldn't matter which partition table / Hboot you're on for this (and all other current) Jewel ROM(s). Make sure you use the newest TWRP recovery.

Downloads:
AICP-5.1.1

The finished 5.0 build is still available at AICP-5.0

Install Process:
Do a full, clean wipe just for good measure. (Definitely if you're switching from 5.0)
Install the .zip, and boot
Reboot into recovery to install your favorite gapps (I have used both Slim Gapps and Google official with this ROM)

After initial install, you may dirty flash just fine.

Thanks AOKP team!

Want to build?
Due to recent updates, you can actually install AICP sources, do a

 . build/envsetup.sh && brunch jewel

and you should be good to go! (Check 2nd post for more details)

If you are looking to build, you may encounter some hiccups. Here is my roomservice.xml, which I can confirm works. You put this in .../aicp/.repo/local_manifests/aicp_manifest.xml. While just doing

 . build/envsetup.sh && brunch jewel

should work, it may not work flawlessly. So here is what I'm using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Finding this more stable than SlimLP. No random reboots. This is now my daily driver. Feature request - Is it possible to include the utility to uninstall some system apps like Music, Calendar, Browser and such? Appreciate all your works.

I prefer not to build too much into a ROM. Usually, I either subtract features, or I replace them. The reason being is that it's easier for me, but also because it leaves the end user with more options.

I use Root Uninstaller to get rid of system apps that I don't want. As long as you have root access, you can use that or something similar.

So far this is the best LP ROM I've used. Stable, fast, and has all the settings and customization options I look for most. Thanks for this, this is now my daily for a while, probably until 5.0.3 or 5.1.

 

[ocarinaz64]

Hey guys, I'm back after a couple of months. Mostly I was just busy with work. I made a couple of new builds overnight. Feel free to check them out. I'll test them myself and give you any updates.

Installed this morning. Looking nice. It did take its merry little time booting the first time, but it runs smoothly. Only issue I see is the lock screen says "No Sim Card / Roaming". Great job.

No Sim Card / Roaming

Only issue I see is the lock screen says "No Sim Card / Roaming". Great job.

I've got this issue too; I did try the fix mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57187279&postcount=3 but to no avail. However, mobile data, voice and text all seem to be working.

I did have to replace the stock SMS app though; the Send button was grayed out. From reading around that sounds like a common issue. I replaced the stock SMS app with Textra (Chomp SMS also worked) and we're up and running.

I did have a couple of questions though and would appreciate anyone's help!

1. I can't for the life of me find where to set SD Card storage - I want my photos to end up there, at a minimum
2. I don't see any place to link my contacts with Facebook and Twitter - anyone been able to do this so the contact's photo is their Facebook/Twitter photo? Anyone with a G+ profile's photo does come through though.

I'm REALLY liking this ROM. It's streamlined and runs very light; and the battery use is fantastic. A breath of new life into my phone! Thanks for the hard work!

The contact sync is an AOSP issue, and has been present since at least JB. I recommend downloading UberSync from the Play Store, it's free and syncs hi-res contact photos with all your Facebook friends. Don't have one for Twitter though because I don't use it. As far as the SD storage goes, I haven't found that option anywhere in any LP rom I've used so far. I use Camera360 and it has the option to change default save location.

Fantastic, I'll check those out. Thanks so much for the recommendations!!!

I just did a whole fresh build after a "make clobber". It got rid of the previous build problems I was having...

I only just loaded it, but it feels snappy so far.

Things I noticed:
Roaming indicator on
AOSP Keyboard doesn't necessarily appear (you can install a different one)

 

[ocarinaz64]

Just another bump to AICP. I don't expect anything exciting over previous builds, but it is more up to date. I will get to working on a 5.1 build ASAP.

4-10-Jewel-AICP

EDIT - I did try this thing out and on the AICP side of things it is a nicer, cleaner build. I didn't see FCs like I had been "ignoring" before. And I was even surprised when I saw a lot more options under AICP options.

EDIT 2 - I figured out my mobile data problem. It boiled down to Ting's APN settings, not the ROM.

And I was even surprised when I saw a lot more options under AICP options. However, my mobile data isn't working. I noticed this on other recent ROM builds (Cyanogenmod, LiquidSmooth). This may not affect everyone. I'm going to look through the kernel source changes and see if I can figure out what needs to be reverted. In fact, if you give this a shot, please let others know how your data is working.

I have been looking for a rom that doesn't have FCs because I have two of these phones I have been using for wifi streaming purposes only so I don't need data. Thanks for reply in the CM12 5.1 rom because I was looking at that one too but I can skip because of FCs. I will download this and hopefully I can have a rom without the problems I have with the current rom I use.

Epic win. I just finished my first Android 5.1 build. I'm giving it a go. More details to come.

Rather than starting up a whole new thread, I thought I would just update this previous one, since there weren't a whole lot of posts in it to begin with.

 

[ocarinaz64]

I have been using this build since it was made a couple of days ago. It is stable, with no known issues as of yet. I'm comfortable using it for my daily driver at this point. Try it yourself, too!

Of the noticeable differences, I really like how now when you press the volume button, you can select a "silent" mode, and set a timer on it. That way, you won't forget to take it off silent later on. You just set it, and move on.

I'm thinking of trying this out this weekend, have you encountered any issues yet using it as a daily driver? Any experience using it to Navigate with google maps, while also trying to listen to podcasts? I had issues with that on an earlier 5.0 build (cyanogenmod 12), so curious how this AICP 5.1 tackles such attempts at multitasking.

I haven't had any unexpected issues with this yet. Not even a reboot. As for apps, you really have to try it out ourself, because there isn't any way for me to replicate your usage. I don't use Google Maps. I use Waze, and it didn't give me any trouble. I went on a 4 hour road trip. I did notice that after a good long while with the gps actually showing on screen, it dimmed the display. I wasn't sure if that was a flaw or a feature. After I turned the screen off, it cooled down and then I could get full brightness again.

You should know that there was a minor update from 5.1-r3 to 5.1-r5 recently. I'm building it as I type this. Hopefully in a couple of hours I'll have it posted.

 

[ocarinaz64]

I posted the newest build. Give it a try. I don't expect any issues. Also, I finally signed up with Androidfilehost, so now all my files are there for you to easily browse. Happy flashing.

UPDATE - I just got a couple of random reboots from the newest build. You might want to use the one from a few days ago instead.

Looks like nightly change log for 12.0 is dead as of this morning. Methinks we might be back to living off the good graces of OCZ again. For a while anyway. I don't see any official jewel info up there yet.

I wouldn't get too excited over the new 5.1 just yet. There are a lot of changes going on with the sources now (though not nearly as bad as when 5.0 was released). It will take a little time to get things rolling, and a little longer until we see actual stable builds. Besides, if CM isn't rolling out fresh nightlies yet, you know it's still early in the game.

I really worked on things yesterday, but I didn't get either LiquidSmooth or Slim to finish. I do have hopes that I'll get them eventually, but it may take another couple of weeks.
