Oukitel K9 Custom ROM? Lineage OS?

[lschafroth2]

Are their any projects related to the Oukitel K9 phone? I purchased one and use it on the AT&T network here in the USA.
The phone is decent but the built in Android is very generic and buggy.

I would love to unlock the potential of this phone with a custom ROM.

Let me know if this isn't the right place to ask and point me in the right direction!

No custom roms at this time, why bother when you can custom Android 9 using Magisk , Xposed and Substratum. Although having a Lineage 17 would be nice.

I ask because the Android on this phone is so buggy and lacking features. I don't see how the options you gave will add features I need. They might as I'm new to these apps and don't know much about them.

If you private message me I cannot get to the messages here. If I click on messages it takes me to the register or reset password every time. I have no way to read them.

At this point it's useless to try since the mediatek drivers no longer work on Windows 10. Not a single guide on installing on Windows 10 64 bit work anymore. If anyone knows how to get the Oukitel drivers to work, let me know. No amount of driver sign or advanced boot works. Every time I plug in the phone it says the previous device malfunctioned.

It worked once and I have never connected the phone since. Will not work.

This might seem obvious, but could never get my PC (Windows10 64bit) to even recognize my Oukitel K9 until I (out of desperation, and to try to prove a point to someone) reinstalled Minimal ADB & Fastboot 1.4.3 from here:
https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool

It's the same thing I had previously installed, and I didn't expect it to suddenly/miraculously start working, but it did.

I'll pm you.

Thanks, but I sold this phone and went to a Pixel 4 XL. I needed something reliable and InTune refused to work on the old Oukitel.

Has anyone worked out ramdisk partition for Magisk?

Discovery,
Thanks to Phh has developed the perfect ROM for the Oukitel K9. Strangely I have had to try many ROMs to find the perfect one. The Lineage ROM; I had GPS issues, the Recent app button not working, and signal loss. Wanted the latest OS and this one is the winner below.

Llevo un par de semanas probando la rom y no funciona el detector de huellas,se puede mejorar?hay alguna rom(Android 12) mas estable y que todo funcione?,gracias

MOD Edit: I've been testing the rom for a couple of weeks and the fingerprint sensor doesn't work, can it be improved? Is there a more stable rom (Android 12) that makes everything work? Thanks

 

[nation888888]

Try the updated version https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v402

Should resolve the fingerprint issue. I have also tried the AOSP 12.1 v410 and the result is the phone goes into a boot loop. Not sure why when the previous version installs so easily. I have built a custom TWRP 3.6.1 and will be trying it soon. The reason why we need to update; that the TWRP 3.3.1 version is limited and could be the reason why there are install issues with some GSIs out there. The encryption keeps reactivating even if I use scripts, flash no verify-verity. Hopefully, this will work. I'm enjoying the new version too much to start again I will keep you posted.

This one is supreme V411 and distracts me away from my Note 20 Ultra. https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v411 .Works well with the Oukitel K9, recommend to use swapram module for boosting memory 4gb to 8gb. Searching for a working TWRP 3.6.

Have you found better rom for k9? I've used several gsi images but system is very laggy. Yet to find a good fast custom rom for k9.

I've flashed this one and found it is as laggy as CrDroid. I thought it might be due to not wiping data before flashing. Decided to reboot to recovery to wipe data. And.. phone stuck at twrp logo. No go further. Do you have any better TWRP than mine 3.3.1?

Try using the "Yet another Kernel Tweaker" module in Magisk. Through all my searches I could only find the TWRP 3.3.1. Tried building using kitchen but failed. Sometimes the TWRP will take up to 5 to 10 minutes, remember it is trying to decrypt. If it takes longer then SPflash, assuming done correctly with vbmeta. After the initial install the updates and synchronization starts processing. This causes a slow-down. I thought the same. Leave the device for a day to update and synchronize then should be faster.

TWRP logo is for hours here.
Now I can't even enter fastboot after I've chosen reboot to recovery from cherishos power menu.
I hit volup+pwr and boot menu doesn't even show up. Tried 20+ times already.
I'm stuck. The last hope is to wait for it to discharge on twrp logo and try my luck with fastboot menu again.
Otherwise I have no idea. Now I question myself why on Earth I would even try to better something that works at least average ))))

I've managed to revive it. But still on cherishos and few other A13 roms screen is flickering. Have you got something like that?
