Stock camera

@ronnyamaya28 @Jcarvajal519

Since you guys have been so patient, I finally got around to making a flashable zip of the Stock Idol4 Camera. Just flash it in TWRP and you are good to go. I tested it several times and it's ready for the masses. Thanks for testing out the rom guys, much appreciated. Please do me a favor and let me know how it works for you guys.

The download is located on the main page under the Downloads Tab.

Hey, I did it by copying the folder to system/app and setting the right permissions, it works perfect so far, I'm glad there's someone who can give us another kind of experience by sharing custom roms, thank you very much

I'm glad you were able to figure out how to install it the dirty way. Next time all you'll have to do is use the flashable zip. Saves some time. Thanks for letting me know you got it working. Once i get access to the 6055K Stock rom and get the languages sorted, I'll be updating to Beta7 and release. I have time now but nobody has gotten back to me with some files. Tomorrow, it's back to life and work, lol

I have found the 6055K rom and downloading it now. Anyone else looking for languages, please PM me if you want to test.

Major Problems

After several attemps flashing, re downloading rom, I couldn't get passed the setup screen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I tried deleted the setupwizard apk but that renders the device to act strange... navigation bar doesn't work, namely the home button. also quick setting not available, etc. I would really love to get this rom running. any help is greatly appreciated.

What model are you running? I disabled the setup wizard, what you are seeing is an error on your end. Try the error 7 fix i posted in the forums and try repairing data partition. Did you do a complete wipe before flashing the rom? If error 7 fix doesnt work, restart from stock. I had that error once as well, was something i did. Not related to the rom. If you have the 6055U model, use my root package i posted. Let me know how it goes

Hey guys do you think there could be a way to stop the SIM LOCK process? I mean something strange happened to me a few months ago. When I got this phone (Idol 4 6055u Cricket) everything was just perfect, mobile network was working perfect. After I followed the root tutorial using sugar QCT (due to that I installed another OS) my phone got sim locked and I don't understand, I mean, It was working perfect, when I bought it the guy did the factory reset in front of me (the normal way, from the settings) and nothing happened, all ok. I have been using the phone without SIM since the first day I got it just because I wanted to get root acces (we all love root access I mean, root access can make everything better).
PD: I have no information nor contact with the phone's original owner (I already tried to ask for unlock code from Cricket but they are asking me for an account information I have no idea about).

 

[jeremy.m.williams]

thanks a lot for the prompt response. the error 7 fix also fixed the setup issue, thankfully! the rom is very smooth. lucky patcher is remarkable. so far it is my favorite app on here followed by gravity box.
i have 2 questions in terms of functionality...

1. should i use greenify or do u suppose i should avoid it? and, if i use it, what system services can i greenify?

2. is there anyway i can get ambient display functioning well? it would be nice to be able to glance at the screen upon receiving a notification.

thanks again for your reply.

the same happened to me, fortunately I had the unlock code, You can get it on eBay (2 dlls), I got it at that price

startup issue

last night i couldn't get my contacts to sync. i noticed it hadn't synced since the initial adding of my account. so i decided to reflash the rom (clean after wiping). even tried with wiping the internal memory, but the startup issue is occurring again... the error 7 fix is not working this time. any suggestions?

If you were using a bone stock rom with root, Greenify would probably work nice. I tried it when I first rooted some months back. I didn't care for it much because it seemed too complicated. With this rom being so slim I wouldn't think you'd really benefit a whole lot from using it.

Ambient Display should work fine if you turn it on in the display settings?

someone of you could pass me the tutorial to install magisk step by step, please

I know others have gotten Magisk to install and work properly, but I myself have not used it and don't know the step by step process to install it. What I do know though, is that you will need to flash the stock boot.img llinked in this thread to get it installed.

I have installed the Beta6 6-7 different times now since I released it and this last time I had the Contacts sync issue as well and haven't been able to figure out why. The other times I installed the rom it worked perfectly fine though. Very weird. As for the startup issue, are you setting up a lock screen? and if so, you probably need to disable the lock screen before reflashing. Like I said before, I had that happen to me one time and that was before I realized the error 7 fix. I ended up just reflashing stock rom and started over. I haven't had that issue since and I have reflashed about 60 times from Beta1 through 6.

On a side note, I had an issue updating Lucky Patcher and I realized it was because the signatures were different. Once you open Lucky Patcher and Xposed is set up, Go into the Lucky Patcher Xposed settings and put a check mark by the Disable Signature Verification. Lucky Patcher will update after that. I have some updates for the rom but I haven't pushed out a Beta7 because I haven't had much help getting Languages going.

Startup issue bypassed...

ok this is what i did and how i figured out how to bypass the error.
1. first i clean flashed the rom
2. tried to boot, startup prompt issue (attached pic)
3. tried error 7 fix then reboot (issue continues)
4. booted into twrp
5. mounted system
6. accessed file manager in twrp
7. navigated to /system/priv-app/setupwizard
8. deleted setupwizard folder
9. booted, accessing the strangely behaving android os (namely only the back navigation button works and no notification panel access)
10. signed onto wifi
11. went to settings, accounts, added my google account
12. booted into twrp
13 dirty flashed the rom
14. wiped dalvik and cache
15. successfully booted into regular android os

contacts sync issue

contact sync issue continues.
i will look into adding a cardav account

 

[PizzaG]

nice, glad you were able to bypass. I let my contacts attempt to sync for a couple days with no luck and ended up just creating a contacts file that I then imported from my sd card. You can log onto your google catacts from PC and create a contacts file.

Contacts sync workaround

Using the app "CardDAV-sync free" i am able to work around the contacts sync issue. note that you must allow access for less secure apps within google settings for this app to access your google contacts.

This app is working perfectly for me, anybody who is interested, make sure you uncheck "One-Way-Sync" within the settings, this way when you add a contact on your phone it will go to your google contacts automatically. note DAVdroid is a paid app that may have a better security not needing the less secure apps to be enabled, but i'm not paying 5 bucks for it. i guess it's worth a shot, and if it still needs less secure apps to be enabled, you could get a refund.

I'm pretty sure I've figured out how to fix the Contacts sync issue. I've also talked to a guy who gave me some insight into getting languages working. @jeremy.m.williams are you available for testing on the Sync issue? I'd rather get it sorted using the stock stuff if possible. You can add me PizzaG98 on Telegram if you want so we can get this fixed up proper. What model phone do you have and do you speak other languages?

 

[jeremy.m.williams]

i am available to try out the sync issues but i don't speak any other languages, sorry. my device is 6055U. i will setup an telgram account now and add you.... thank you!

I'm not finding PizzaG98 in telegram. My username is jeremymwilliams, hopefully you can find me

 

[PizzaG]

@Jcarvajal519 are you available? I think I remember you wanting other languages and I need to talk to you on Telegram. Please get ahold of me or PM me ASAP

No, it was not me, I added my language with an app of the Google play.
I want the Magisk, I'm trying to install it

 

[PizzaG]

well I got all languages working after transplanting the systemui-overlay.apk from the 6055K to CricketRom. Now the problem is that CricketRom isn't displaying LTE. Ive idintified and firgured out how to fix that by decompiling the apk and found the setting that deals with showing LTE. It's as simple as changing a 0 to a 1. The problem is that I'm having an issue re-compiling as I'm getting a bunch of errors. If anybody has experience with re-compiling an apk please PM me or get ahold of me on the thread. I haven't given up, but I could def use a hand.
