[ROM] [5.1.x] [BETA] Unofficial CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightly Builds (KIW-L24 / L22 / L21)

[crpalmer]

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.1.x (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Instructions

First time flashing CyanogenMod 12.1 on your device, or coming from another ROM?
Download the zip(s).
Install a compatible Recovery
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
Wipe data & cache partitions of your device (required when coming from stock!).
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

Broken Features / Known Issues

Other Issues?

Before posting on this thread, make sure of a few things:
You've utilized the search function of the forums. Nothing irritates me more than lazy people who do not search for an answer before asking or ask the same question over and over again.
If you are the only one having a problem. Boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, reflash the rom/gapps and nothing else. Boot up and see if the problem persists.
LOGS LOGS LOGS!!!! Use this: SysLog by Tortel

If you have a hard reboot (to the vendor boot logo, not the CM boot logo), use adb or any other rile explorer tool to pull a copy of

/sys/fs/postore/console-ramoops

after the reboot and provide that.

Issues:

• all cores are online all the time
• call recording
• fingerprint sensor
• flip cover / smart view case support
• fm radio
• other gestures (I don't even know what they are because I didn't run stock long enough to find out so if you want support tell me)
• selinux is in permissive mode

With the gapps that I'm using there is also an issue with the play store app which will fail to install certain apps if you have a sdcard mounted. The workaround is to go to Settings >> Storage and unmount the sdcard and then install the app. I currently believe that this is a lingering gapps problem.

[*] These features I am not planning to implement them in 12.1 because the time to do so would be very high and they have changed entirely in 13. Hopefully the fingerprint sensor will be easy in 13 after Huawei releases the M build.

L22

Can install on L22 device?

Not yet.

I think I just have to change the installer script to allow you to install it but at an ALPHA stage, I don't want to have added confusion of multiple devices. Once it gets more stable and more people independently figure out to change the installer script and report that it works, I'll feel more confident making the change to allow it...

Great job so far, especially figuring out the rear cam
The gapps I've been using on my test builds that seem to work is gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip located here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550851

On a side note, your source code is linked to asus moorfield kernel...is that a typo? - EDIT, I see it's changed

Again, great job!

Updated the "source code" link (I forgot about that field xda makes you fill in when I cloning another device to help me create the thread).

Speaking of the kernel, we are definitely having some serious slow downs because the source code that was officially released doesn't seem to actually match the software that was released but wimberly (is that @wimberly6, I'm not sure?) has been helping to try to get the right source released. Kudos to him for that.

Am an L22 user. Am using previous build with camera bugs .
And I will change installer to workout and let you know .
Thanks for your build .

 

[tamcdonald]

Thanks a lot for this guys! I'm so impressed. Do you guys know if fingerprint works on this or will in the future? Keep up the great work, I am loving this so far.

 

[elessarelfstar]

Excited about this. Thanks for the hard work. Looking forward to try it if you get the encryption support worked out (I use a work app that is fine with root, but requires encryption).

 

[bylithium]

Thank you. Will try when it is stable!

 

[subodhverma21]

I am very glad to see CM build. Great Job guys.

[nandakalyan]

Wow! This great news, thanks for all the hard work, really appreciate this! I am an L-22 user and will wait for a "proper" release since this is my only phone right now, but kudos on bringing this to us in such a short span of time!

Oops, I forgot that on my list of issues. Short answer: no and it won't in 12.1. See the second post for a longer answer.

 

[ZeRo2o9]

This one is all @crpalmer, likely with help from @ciwrl, @deadman96385 &@inkslinger. I did not contribute to this.
I'm looking into getting the fingerprint scanner working, but with my limited skills & possible missing stuff in the kernel source, the excellent devs working on this ROM will most likely figure it out long before I can.

This is a great ROM for an alpha. It is indeed smooth
