DeckerSu: Initially Compiled TWRP
Shinru2004: Boot.img, bootanimation.zip and motivation to make my own tweaked rom from stock
My Fiance and baby girl for putting up with me and giving me the time I needed to scour the net researching, testing and editing files:highfive:
TWRP Builder Team For Updating TWRP Custom Recovery to 3.2.3.0 for us:good:
Stock Rom sourced from the 6055U Cricket version of the Idol 4, hence the name of the rom. What I'm looking for in this rom is for it to be small, fast and stable.
Made for 6055U
Confirmed working on 6055B
Confirmed working on 6055P
Confirmed working on 6055K
Pre-Rooted
Busybox 1.29.2
Xposed Pre-installed(reboot twice to activate)
Not Deodexed as of 9-10-2018 because it broke some functionality
Needs to be Re-Zip-Aligned as of 9-10-2018. Will be fixed in next release
Init.d Support
su.d Support
Debloated
SeLinux Permissive Patched
ACDisplay(Ambient Display Alternative)
10 Languages Supported
ART Runtime Optimized
Update 9-10-2018: After 7 public Beta builds, 8 Internal Beta builds and MANY Test builds in-between, I have decided to make ~CricketRom~ Final and the naming has changed. From now on, the naming will be: ~CricketRom~ ReleaseDate
I calculated that I pry have over 200 hours invested into making this rom as good as I can. I thank everybody for posting issues, testing, info and everything else. If you like the rom or I have helped you in any way, all I ask is that you hit the THANKS button. I have an internal build of RedWolf Recovery but it doesn't boot because apparently Redowolf Recovery is only for Android 7 and above. If you Know what you are doing and think you may be able to fix it and get it running, send me a message and we can see about doing that. As far as I know, it has to do with the Kernel.
~CricketRom 9-9-2018 Changes
-Totally rebuilt from scratch with the stock base(Long Overdue after 8 Beta builds)
-Fixed Google Contacts Sync and tested thouroughly
-Added several Google Apps(Camera, Gmail, Drive, Photos)
-Removed Google Assistant(Didn't care for it)
-Added Customized Open-Gapps installer
-Updated All Google Apps to more recent versions
-Removed Viper Audio Alternative because even though it said it was installing, it wasn't. It showed in the Apps because I had forgotten to remove the Official version from an earlier build.
-Fixed Bluetooth(Thanks for letting me know it was broken)
-Added Kernel Auditor(BE CAREFUL what you mess with)
-Removed Native Bluetooth Tethering because it broke Bluetooth as a whole
Please Read This Before Posting Issues or Questions
****!!!!YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE OEM UNLOCK CHECKED IN THE DEVELOPER OPTIONS BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM. I WON'T BE RESPONDING TO TWRP ERROR 7 OR THE WEIRD BOOTUP SCREEN ISSUES ANYMORE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ROM THAT IS CAUSING EITHER OF THOSE. IT IS USER ERROR!!!!****
*If you are getting Error 7 in TWRP, check here for the fix:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-4s/how-to/fix-twrp-error-7-t3832283
*If you plan to use Waterfox, I highly recommend you hit the settings in it, go to addons, and install Ublock Origin for it. It's by far the best popup blocker I've ever used and I use it on my desktop browser as well.
*SELinux is now set to permissive automatically during rom installation and is static unless you change it with SELinux switch. SELinux switch app is still installed so you can switch freely.
*Busybox doesn't need to be installed via the app anymore, version 1.29.2 is now preinstalled, up to date and ready to go out of the box
**If you have a Dual-Sim model and want it working, send me a PM with your model# and I'll send you a link for an Experimental Dual-sim Enabler zip that you can flash with TWRP. I'm not releasing it publicly yet because I don't know 100% if it works. It's hard to test as I only have a Single Sim model. I am able to flash it on mine and the options for Dual-Sim are available but it breaks my Data connectivity for some reason. It should work fine on an actual Dual-Sim phone
Installation
1- Check OEM UNLOCK in Developer Options
2- Have Newest TWRP Installed
3- Wipe Data, System, Cache, Dalvik
4- Install ~CricketRom~
5- Reboot and wait 5-10 minutes for first boot
6- On first boot, reboot again(Needed to Activate Xposed)
7- ENJOY!!!
