Hello :)

I am using this rom on P9 Lite and I can report that pressing the globe icon in Clock application will force close the application.

Also had problem with default Gallery application. I had to install QuickPic, could not reproduce the problem.

If anything will happen again I can send you logcat.

Also I think that Default Camera is taking sometimes blurry photos.

Other bugs are already reported on your webpage.

But aside from that its a best rom on P9 Lite :) Good Job :) !

Hi,

I tried to install this ROM on my stock Honor 5C NEM-L51.

Unfortunately I encountered an error when flashing zip via TWRP. TWRP immediately restart after I launch the flash command. Nothing installed and a bricked phone.

And it is the same with every ROM and TWRP found here on xda.

Any idea why this is happening ?

Edit : I managed to install the zip thanks to ADB sideload through TWRP.

Strange, I never heard of any problem like this... Maybe hardware sdcard problem?

There is a thread for p9l for this ROM. Suggest to post there.

Gallery is old and not updated by Google anymore. If you find it in Settings->apps and allow permission to camera and storage then it work.:laugh:

Installed this rom yesterday on my Honor 5C NEM-L51 and it works quite well. Super clean, very smooth. First tried to flash the rom with the venus twrp, which didn't work (wrong device), couldn't flash your twrp (this may be because i can't get into recovery while my device is connected via usb, always get into erecovery, but didn't knew it when i tried your twrp, so very possible that your twrp works, i just didn't do it correctly to get into recovery) than used the latest Elite TWRP and it worked with it (of course only when i noticed that i can get into recovery when im not connected via usb). Oh and a gentle note to everyone trying to flash a rom on his honor 5c device, DO A FULL BACKUP, YOU NEED IT, it seems like the honor 5c custom roms only overwrite some files or something, but need all the other emui5x stuff, so you can't just fully wipe your device and reflash the rom and everything works again, you always need to restore your backup first and than flash the rom.

Things i had trouble with while trying to flash this rom:
- The installation guides from johannes dostal is outdated in my opinion, because it says you have to wipe data, which makes the device unbootable (had to restore/resize the data partition, install backup again). I only did a factory reset before installing this aosp rom over the emui 5.x
- The installation guide from HC5DEVSPORTAL's links to some weird ad stuff
- The video installation guide from you is helpful, thanks for that. Maybe better link to that video

Some other Tips/Issues i had:
- When i first tried to flash this rome, i accidentially wiped data, system and so on (ticked everything except sdcard/internal storage i think). After flashing this rom, the device bricked, because the data partition was corrupted.
After some googling i found a solution for this, TWRP is able to format/repair and resize the partition, after this was done i could restore my backup again and try to flash the rom again.
- MTP sometimes didn't work for me in TWRP, this is a bit of a problem if the device doesn't boot anymore, but i could work around this issue by using adb push/pull. So if you have similiar problem, give adb push/pull/shell a try. Saved my ass :D

As already mentioned, the rom works quite well (ok, only using it since 12h). But there are some things i want to mention:
- The camera isn't working for me, neither the default camera app nor any other camera app. I always get the "No connection to camera possible" error
- The security patch level is from october 5th. Even if this is for android quite recent, it's vulnerable against the krack wifi vulnerabilty. For sure not your fault, don't know how hard it is to merge those security patches, just want to mention it.

Thanks a lot for your work, hated EMUI5.x, loving AOSP :)
