[POLLUX][Development] CM13 / CyanogenMod 13

Code:

#include 
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

NOTE:
THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT THREAD.
BUILDS ARE INTENDED FOR ADVANCED USERS, SO THEY CAN TEST AND GIVE FEEDBACK.
FEATURE REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED, THIS IS PLAIN CYANOGENMOD.

Also, there are sister threads for working on yuga, odin and dogo.

Changes:

- Mar 30: initial CM13 release
- Apr 6: latest cm fixes, kernel updates
- Apr 15: init updates, improved mac address handling, new camera app, audio fixes, clean-ups
- Apr 18: fix bt, wifi
- Apr 27: updated wifi driver, lz4 compression, new audio hal, updated gpu blobs
- May 2: fix wlan firmware loading, include new cm browser: gello
- May 9: mac addr fixes, bluetooth fixes, camera wrapper improvements
- May 18: f2fs fix attempt, kernel 3.4.112, init update
- May 23: f2fs fix, ipv6 fix
- May 25: start nightlies

All builds are synchronized with the latest CM tree.
For the specific updates to fusion3 and pollux, see the source link below!

Download:
CM-13.0 nightlies are available:
pollux: Official download site
pollux_windy: Official download site
This thread will however remain the prime location for testing new stuff and support on pollux/pollux_windy.

Installation:
If you have anything other than CyanogenMod on your device, do a full wipe, and get compatible gapps!
F2FS support: take a look here

Testing:
Some very important "rules" for this:
- Run unmodified versions (no FOTA recovery, no modified kernel, no Xposed framework, etc.)
- Please dont post "X isnt working" or "random reboots" - provide LOGS for each report you post here. This thread is actually meant for users who are capable of gathering and providing logs, so after a reboot, provide last_kmsg, and for all other problems, dmesg and logcat at the very least.
- If you can reproduce your problem, you might want to increase the logging level before posting it here, which will increase chances of me finding the problem.

I will have to ignore all other "problem reports" as they are essentially useless.

Source:
If you are willing (and able) to help, check out the patch sets, test them for the respective projects (fusion3 is also yuga, odin, and so on).

This is like a thunder in a clear sky.

Downloading! [emoji3]

At work, can't test just yet.
It is very nice to see that people keep supporting this great tablet by working on new LP roms.
Thanks for that. :good:

First impressions:

Rom boots fine

Sound crisp and loud! Awesome!

Cpu works as it should. Unused cores get stopped.

Kernel has enough governors.

Double tap to wake works fine.

I'll keep this, definitively

Thanks heaps @qsnc

Let the party begin :-d

Oh wow! That's great news. Once again flashing time when i get home!

Rox598 · Jan 7, 2015

Awesome work everything is gold atm!

See some apps have been changed both the aosp browser and the music app both got material design. And hold the recents button swell for app switching its really fluid

EDIT: just so people know you have to enable root access via the dev menu now its not enabled by default anymore.

Titanium backs up fine, but when I tried to restore that backup, it wouldn't work... Just gets stuck at the restoring screen. I've had the same issue on my phone when updating to lollipop.
Resolved the problem by installing super su from the play store. Just for anyone experiencing this as well!

How to install from Stock?

Sorry to be a bit of a noob, but I'm trying to install this (CM12) on my pollux_windy in place of a stock Sony ROM (292).
I'm following some standard instructions in the CM Wiki which involves flashing the boot.img (worked :good

and then going into CWM recovery (worked :good

.
The problem occurs at step 8 in the above wiki, which requires the use of "sideload" or "push & install".
I can't see the required commands in the CWM recovery...no "install from Zip", no "mounts and storage", etc...and I'm not sure if ADB is working in recovery either (ADB is working with the device booted up in stock ROM).

Any ideas or alternative ways? How are you guys installing?

I've done a lot of custom ROM installation on various devices over the last few years...but I've got out of practice recently so I'm stuck

Just flashed cm-12-20150106-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip a couple of hours ago and so far these have been my results:

WiFi: Works.
Bluetooth: Works.
NFC: Works.
GPS: Doesn't work.
Sound: Works. Tested with system sounds and Spotify.
CPU Cores: Works.
Video Playback: Works. MX Player plays 1080p vids without issues. YouTube plays 1080p perfectly with sound.
Smoothness: It's crazy smooth. A thing of beauty.
Double Tap to Wake: Works.
Double Tap to Sleep: Works.
Stability: So far, no reboots, no stuttering or hangs.

Thanks so much, qsnc, I'll definitely keep this as a daily driver. It feels like a new device! Subscribed to thread and eager to test more of your work.

I would suggest you use twrp recovery. It will be easier flash files.

You can follow the instructions here:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/185

Or, since you are on stock install twrp from here

You don't need adb/Fastboot after flashing the boot.img and for installing the ROM.

EDIT: Don't forget before you do any of the below to go into the recovery and backup the Sony ROM!

As long as you put this ROMs Zip file on the storage of the tablet before you installed the recovery (because the stock ROM won't boot on a CM Boot.img) If you didn't you'll need to go get a Boot.img that will allow your tablet to boot again into the stock sony ROM then put the ROM Zip file and Gapps files on the internal storage.

After that re-flash the Boot.img for this go back into recovery (select wipe Data then wipe cache partition) and then select apply update and select from internal storage. Find the Zip file and install it then install the Gapps.

That part that you're trying to do is just about putting the .zip in the internal storage to flash it.

I advise you to flash in fastboot the boot.img from a CM11 nightly, that way you get a CWM recovery where you can mount Mass Storage there and then transfer the cm-12-20150106-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip from OP (and the GApps package), from your PC to the tablet.

Then just wipe data, cache, format /system and install the zips normally.

If for some reason Mass Storage isn't working, flash with Flashtools stock firmware and copy the files normally, then repeat the steps I mentioned.

Oops, I'm sorry, Roxas, you posted faster than I did.

Well, now he has confirmed the info. Let's hope he can manage to flash it. If not, let us know.

GPS doesn't work for me. (SGP311)
//tried 3times (clean flash + AndroITS)
//CM recovery is also not fully working for me (can't do anything) -- /can't mount /misc partition bla bla)

@qsnc did fine job, but i'm sticking to stable Omni for now.

Thanks :good:

GretaLewd · Jan 7, 2015 at 8:14 PM

Flashing from stock

Thanks for all your replies with help. I will give it another go.

When I got stuck I went back to stock (flashed an ftf with flashtool) so I'll start over again :fingers-crossed:

Jequan · Jan 7, 2015 at 8:15 PM

Unbelievable. This rom comes out of of nowhere as a first release download. I have yet to find anything that is broken.
As i see it this is the rom to have on the tab z from now on!

Thank you very much!

You're right about GPS, I was too quick to say that it was working. Just tested it and yeah, it's not there. For now it's not a deal breaker for me, so I'll stay with this ROM.

Thanks anyway for pointing it out, I'll correct my previous post.

Any Chance to make HDMI run ??

CM11 never had a functional HDMI Output...
