[ROM] [7.1.x] [Official] [weekly] AICP 12.1 (Pro3 aka zl1, X727,X720)

AICP
Android Ice Cold Project

AICP is known by everyone as the "Ice Cold Project" that started on a Desire HD years ago and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, the Rom has always been based on AOKP. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.
With the rebrand of CM to LineageOS (LAOS) we are now actually LAOS based with some tweaks from AOSP.

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them out or LAOS team, if it concerns their code base. This rom isn't LAOS supported, so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Nougat. You don't need to install any Add-Ons, simply download the latest ROM, GApps, flash it and go!
If you want the device to run the ROM "rooted", you can flash a root solution of your choice after the ROM Zipfile.

It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.


How to flash:
(Again: Don't do it if you don't know it!)

Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device
Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended)
Wipe system, Cache, data and ART/Dalvik cache
Flash ROM Zipfile
Flash/Install GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Playstore to work)
Flash/Install the root solution of choice (optional), I personnaly recommend magisk
Reboot to system

The ROM has GApps persistance in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once!
The root solution should be flashed together with every OTA update (= ROM Update)!


Supported root solutions:

Magisk v13.x

SuperSU - stable and beta available (Site by CCMT that took over the the marketing from chainfire)
SuperSU - direct download link for the latest SuperSU directly from the dev (chainfire)

Lineage SU-addon (check your needed version: 14.1 arm or arm64) -> the removal zip is available here too.


KERNEL:
The kernel in this ROM follows Omni source with many additions/changes

PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:
To be able to flash using the buildin OTA app that needs TWRP recovery installed to work.
You can still use LAOS recovery and OTA app, but you will need to download the zip file and flash it manually from within your recovery. Zip gets saved in the "AICP_ota" folder on your internal storage.
Please be sure that you are on the latest TWRP recovery.

FAQ:]
Before using the ROM:
Q. Can I have an ETA for the next build?
A. Yes, the next official release will be on Tuesday around 6:00am (Eastern Time).

Q. Does this ROM support custom kernels?
A. No. You can still use them but discussion should go in the thread of the respective kernel. I don't offer support for bugs you might encounter using them.

Q. Why doesn't this ROM support Xposed?
A. Xposed is a hack that is geared towards AOSP, custom ROM's modify the framework a lot, so Xposed can cause a ton of issues on custom ROM's. Now it might work for you, however it is not to be discussed in this thread, and you should refrain from posting bug reports while using it as Xposed can cause a lot of bugs.

Q. Alright, but I still want to flash Xposed, so which version do I need to install?
A. You need to use the version arm64 sdk 25.

Q. What's the difference between the experimental builds, and the official builds?
A. The experimental versions have experimental code and features, I update them usually when I'm testing something new and I think that others might want to try it too, or when something needs to be tested, for example my experimental builds had the new lineage browser, and the PA color engine long before the official builds had it. The official builds only have stable code and are updated automatically every week. You can switch between both whenever you want

Flashing the ROM:
Q. What do I need to know before flashing?
A. Check the install instructions in the first post..

Q. Can the builds be dirty flashed over each other?
A. Yes, however make a nandroid first as there is a chance of getting a bootloop or encountering bugs, also bugs may only be reported on a clean flash.

Q. How do I dirty flash builds?
A. Wipe the system, cache, and dalvik cache, flash the ROM, gapps, and reboot.

Q. How do I flash kernel builds?
A. In twrp go to the install page, in the bottom right corner select "install image", select the desired kernel, then select "boot", then swipe to flash, then go back to the install screen and install the root method of your choice if you don't want to lose root, and then reboot.

Using the ROM:
Q. How do I enable software buttons?
A. Settings->Navigation.

Q I installed a bad theme and now I'm getting a bootloop, how do I fix it?
A In TWRP, flash the substratum rescue zip in the substratum folder in the internal storage.

Q I keep losing root with Magisk, how do I fix it?
A Check this out, if that doesn't work for you ask for help in this thread, read or ask in the Magisk thread on XDA or just flash Magisk again!

Q I'm having issues with whatsapp, how do I fix it?
A Read this

Q Does Dolby Atmos work?
A Yes, get it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342

Q. Do I need to provide a log if I'm reporting a bug?
A. If you want it to be fixed faster (or at all) then yes, you should definitely provide a log.

Q. How do I get a logcat, and what type should I get, and more questions that can conveniently be answered by my pre-determined answer?
A. Read this thoroughly. Also, here's a good app for getting logs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog ​

This is a work in progress guide to getting great battery life
Note: This guide is meant to be used on my kernel, there's several optimizations that I've left out of this guide because I enabled them by default in my kernel

1. Underclock the big cores to 1900mhz
2. Set the GPU governor to simple_ondemand
3. Set the vibration strength to zero (or close to zero) in the misc section
4. Set the default I/O scheduler to noop
5. Go to developer options and turn off the logger buffer sizes (you will have to turn this back on in order to get a logcat for bug reports, and to pass safety net)

6. Use greenify to enable aggressive doze and doze on the go, and use it to limit background apps

7. If you underclock the big cores even more in kernel adiutor you'll get much better battery life, you'll also get much better battery life if you underclock the little cores to 1440MHz

8. Turn off all animations in developer options
9. In kernel adiutor set the low memory killer values to the aggressive setting
10. Disable fsync (risky, you could lose data if the system crashes)

11. Use the suspend actions in aicp extras and turn off the ota checker
12. Use privacy guard, and the wakelock blocker in aicp extras/system extensions to block wakelocks

13. In aicp extras/ various ****, enable sensors block per package

14. Turn off WiFi before turning off the device, otherwise it will have issues going into deep sleep

This is a work in progress guide to getting great Performance at the expense of battery life
Note: This guide is meant to be used on my kernel, there's several optimizations that I've left out of this guide because I enabled them by default in my kernel

1. Go to developer options and turn off the logger buffer sizes (you will have to turn this back on in order to get a logcat for bug reports)

2. Use greenify to enable aggressive doze and doze on the go, and use it to limit background apps

3. Turn off all animations in developer options
4. Overclock the little cores to 2188mhz, and the big cores to 2342mhz
5. Disable fsync (risky, you could lose data if the system crashes)
6. Enable ksm, and use zram for more free ram, good for gaming
7. Set the CPU governor to wheatley

Magisk works for me, what issue are you having? Can you get a log for the YouTube issue

[insomnixXx]

Hi, i am using this rom and well its good, the ovreal performance of the rom will improve in the future but i have an issue and that is because the Magisk is preinstalled on rom i can not sign in Snapchat. Maybe a suggestion to make either a superSU preinstalled or no root and user will have to flash or install whatever he likes afterwords...
Thanks ?
