Thanks! :highfive:
Installed your TWRP, wiped and flashed rom without any issues (16GB/2GB). Dude, Love you for the FM Radio. I have read this phone had the FM builtin, wonder why it was not present in the Amazon Rom v6.1 or OEM v12. Now I can listen to NPR and local 80's station! :D
- Seems like the Speaker Phone is louder! :good:
- Is there anyway to change the "BACK OUKITEL RECENT" on the bottom of the screen back to the original icons? :confused:

PS
Does this work with the 8GB/1GB version? :confused:

Is LTE working for you? Or is it just plain 4G?

1. Plus it comes with Viper4Android, so you can boost it a bit more too.

2. I to really didn't like that, so use to icons this messed me up at first. It is doable, but I had to use softkeyZ, a paid app, to change this.

3. The 8gb/1gb has everything else the same except for ram and flash, so it should just work, unless op says otherwise. However, the only way to be sure is to check.

Personally, I don't like the UI that much, much to loud for me, though I never stick with stock anyways, I love apex, plus lots of xposed stuff to change things. Still, with the radio, and being a easily modified base, this is much better then stock IMO. I had actually just flashed and finished setting up stock again when I saw this. Instant redo again, and well worth it.

Edited: Scratch what I said earlier. This app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery, has a simple "you are in LTE" page. So, yeah, seems LTE is working, at least for me.

Update, turns out FM also supports RDS! (Notice the DURAN text below the station number)
Never heard of RDS before. Is it metadeta for the station? Just station name, or also track names?

I am pretty such, LTE is working, even though 4G is displayed.

Signalcheck lite from playstore confirms LTE is working.

Yeah, think of it as metadata. Whats displayed depends what the radio station transmits. For example, 95.7 displayed above cycles through both the station name (95.7 BEN FM) and the song name (DURAN DURAN RIO).

EDIT: all of a sudden FM decided to stop working. It gets a signal but no sound is heard from the earpiece or speaker.

EDIT 2: FM working again, just had to mess with ViperAudio.

Not sure, just shows 4G. I'm on an AT&T biz account so I should have it.

I had this issue first time I turned the FM radio. closed it out and reopen to get audio working.

I never had auto rotate work with the R1 HD, I thought it was due to no compass. You had it working before?

Mine does not auto rotate either, but doesn't really bother me as I always lock mine in on portrait mode anyway.
I do also, but wanted to test rotating, works fine for me though, plus I have a new app to play with, Waze.

I use Google maps, never heard of this Waze map, seems good though.

I just found a way to unlock bootloader. on prime without spft. and this will allow to install twrp , and then root and then to install this rom.

1 . remove any and all lock pin or patterns on phone
2 . remove all google accounts (this is to clear the frp data)
3. factory reset phone
4. reboot to fastboot/ bootloader
5. issue fastoot oem unlock (appearently we all assumed that because the toggle switch was missing from developer setting it would not work,but it does if you have no accounts set up)

documented thread here (for other device, but still marshmallow)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/unlock-bootloader-issues-kiw-t3411032

tested on 6.1
(update coming soon, testing on fresh update of 6.6)

test completed. I reverted my test phone back to 6.1 and then ota updated to 6.6, and was able to unlock bootloader again.
locked and unlocked several times before update and confirmed with "fastboot getvar all" locked and then unlocked.

Didn't flash anything at this point but did boot into twrp and install SuperSU.
Did try to flash boot img after I messed up with a test and it said no permission to write to boot. So don't know if this method is 100% or if what I messed up had something to do with it. But I did root while on 6.6 and then got back to old preloader and use of spft again after a restore .


this worked on my own phone that was unlocked before update. even though I re-locked before updating. The update re-applied an unlock and that is why it worked. Other tester who had out of box - update to 6.6 this did not work. Had to do with the Aug 2016 android security update. It must have fixed a hole in the ftp implementation. Maybe a newer way around frp way let this work again.

Auto rotation is not working for me either. I noticed while in MTK Engineering Mode under sensors there is not a Gsensor listed. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but when I googled the problem that was one of the top fixes.

I am not sure why it would work on my phone and not yours or others.

Does it work on stock ROM for you?
