Thank you very much for this. I just flashed it and its working well so far on my castor windy. Awesome that the front and rear cameras are working! I couldn't root it with the trusty 2.46 SU binary. Ill try a newer one shortly.

 

[firefox-58]

Any success with a newer SU binary.

I also would test this ROM but for met an existing root access is absolutely needed!

 

[firefox-58]

Tested the ROM,

SIM card is not working / not recognized

I flashed first Stock-ROM and then wiped all and flashed the ROM for CASTOR LTE. ROM itself works, but claims "missing SIM card"

Has everyone tested a CASTOR tablet?

Yup, can confirm.
No SIM card detected. Everything else is working fine Tapatalk

Edit:
Scratch that. Vibration isn't working, either.

 

[firefox-58]

There seems to be missing some hardware drivers. I think they compile the version for the Castor, but have no Tablet to test it out ?

 

[nazfalas]

Maybe @rcstar6696 can help?

ATM I am using his ROM

all is working perfectly, but AOSP is very "original" and I am missing some features like CM12 like Battery in %, customizable fast access switches etc.

I can confirm that we (I) have a castor device to build and test on. The modem blobs were missed from the build as they were not present in the used vendor. They have now been added and will be present next build.

This is AOSPA not AOSP.

Battery % is in settings > battery > battery icon/three dots

Customisable buttons is not a feature on the Nexus/AOSP branch

He was referring to the AOSP ROM over in Android Development by rcstar.

Not one to ask for ETAs, but will the next build only be next/end of the month or will there be a release in between? Can't wait.

Just wanted to report back with the new build:
Everything is working perfectly now. Thank you so much for this ROM! First time using PA since years ago and it's still amazing.

Tested it also with last build from 9. August 2016. LTE works fine

Which working SuperSu/Superuser do You use?

And how about activating "Developer Options" for enabling USB debugging?

Thanks for the report about LTE.

For SuperSU I flash the latest zip from cahianfire on my castor_windy. For Dev Options keep tapping the Build Number in About Device.

Yesterday a longer test with the Tablet.


I made serveral longer connects with LTE and OpenVPN, also tested NCP VPN client over LTE.

All was running fine and I found no bigger items in between.

Only gReader crashes time to time, but can be a problem with the app itself

I am using the build #3 as may daily driver for now.

Are there any known problems with the build? Changelog?

paranoid is using cmte or substratum now?

unfortunately CMTE ...

Comment for the LTE:

LTE itself works without problem, but International Data Roaming does not work???
In the EU-countries the Tablet connects to the roaming partner, the APN is set correctly but I get no data connection ??? Any hints?
The same SIM-Card in another device works flawlessly!

recovery

Hope it's ok to ask here, but those of you with the Z2 Castor-Windy (WiFi only) tablet, what method did you use to get recovery (or root if needed) so you could install this ROM? thanks.
