[ROM] CyanogenMod 12.0 for Evita [Unofficial][5.0.2]

[sjmik]

So the evita has made it into the first group of devices with official nightly builds for CM12!

You can read the blog post from CyanogenMod here: cyanogenmod.org/blog/the-l-is-for-lollipop

Or... you can jump right into the downloads here: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=evita


Hi All-

I've built CyanogenMod 12 from source for the HTC One XL.
Nothing has been modified, and the only thing required to get it to work was some trickery with the proprietary blobs.

Most everything seems to be working properly!
There are some app glitches I've seen (particularly video playback), but I'm guessing it's not specific to this device.
Some of the video problems can be solved by disabling the NuPlayer in the Developer options.

Updated 2014-12-16. Video appears to be a bit more stable.
Updated 2014-12-22. Update to Android 5.0.2! (whatever that means)

Tested working:
Mobile network
Wifi
Camera
Bluetooth
GPS
Play Store, google apps, etc.


I'm running HBOOT 2.18, s-off, TWRP 2.8.1.0; so I'd recommend you do the same


Steps:

1. Download CM12; put it on your SD card:
   cm-12-20141229-UNOFFICIAL-evita.zip
   cm-12-20141229-UNOFFICIAL-evita.zip.md5sum
2. Download PA Beta Google Apps; put it on your SD card:
   (Not required, but you'll want this for the Play Store app)
   [GAPPS][5.0.x][BETA] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS (All ROM's) [2014-12-25]
3. Reboot to recovery.
4. Take a backup if you want.
5. Do a 'factory reset'.
   (NOTE!!! Do not do the factory reset from the bootloader, since that will wipe ALL your files)
6. Install CM12 & Google Apps.
7. Reboot!

I'll be making more builds as time goes on, until we get official support.
Have fun and let me know if anything goes wrong!

A note about md5sums:
I don't know why people don't seem to recommend doing this, but TWRP will automatically check md5 hashes for you.
Just include the .md5sum file in the same folder as the .zip file.
I've had corrupted downloads/transfers before, and they're easy to avoid.

You guys are awesome, hope to see soon the official one.

 

[alfonsofernandezyf]

Thanks for this great ROM.


I've been having some trouble with the phone app. It hangs while ending the call.

I also tried to check muy IMEI and it's blank. (Check attached picture)

Battery isn't good either.

I'm on AT&T and I don't have any problems with the phone app or IMEI; who is your carrier?
If you want to post a logcat I will look into it.

As for battery, Juice Defender could be hurting if it is aggressively closing apps/services which then restart themselves.
Or you could try disabling NFC. I've had many problems with NFC on other ROMs for this phone in the past, and I never use it so I always keep it off.

 

[alfonsofernandezyf]

I clean installed again, and I can see, a very big difference.

I can see my IMEI now, I can also:

Make calls
Connect thru mobile data
Watch YouTube and Netflix
Send video to Chromecast
Listen to music
Music Bluetooth stream
Bluetooth calls (not sure)
Take screenshots

Battery is not bad at all.

But I still can't watch video on Instagram or Facebook.

After getting a phone call, phone app becomes unresponsive. It freezes on the call screen displaying the word "Terminando" English for "Ending".

Everything else works, but you can't call again until rebooting.



I love CyanogenMod and Lollipop.

Thank you for the great work.



Edit: I forgot, my carrier is TELCEL in México City.

I've been using this rom for a day now and through the short use of this rom I've not noticed any hiccups except getting Vipermod to work fully. Trying to boost the speaker volume for instance but have not come to any success. Other than that it's proving very nice and I am really liking 5.0 since my LG G2 took a dive the screen shattered.

Edit: Unfortunately I spoke too soon because I have run into two specific problems so far, one being the battery. It's difficult with this rom to make it through even a whole day and when the "battery saving feature" kicks in the device is reporting 15% left yet in reality this is around 3% because I go to turn the device on and it shuts down.

Second problem I found was with the music streaming service Pandora. The audio just doesn't want to play. I've had no issues with youtube and other videos through chrome, just Pandora and wanting to stream across bluetooth.

I understand this is an APLPHA, just wanted to report back my findings. Thank you for taking the time on this Rom and I will be checking back in to test again and see how the progress goes as I am really enjoying Lollipop.

Pandora works fine for me. I wasn't expecting it to so it is a pleasant surprise
Are you running the 12/16 version?

For battery, I haven't seen a problem.
What does the battery usage page say?
Have you tried turning off NFC?

 

[beankid]

I am running the latest version and as far as the battery usage page goes I can't really trust it right now because it tells me values that as aren't really took crazy yet my battery gets eaten up on this rom. Have you tried Pandora through bluetooth music streaming? I've heard that this is a problem with other lollipop roms so far as well.

Will CyanogenMod support Evita in their CM12 version?
Is there any way to know which devices are going to be supported? If so could you share a link? Thank you.

At the moment, no devices are supported.
There is no list of devices with planned support; although, there have been a few CM11 devices that are planned to not be supported in CM12.

Many updates are happening on different parts of the code, and various things are expected to break/fix from day-to-day.
Once the CyanogenMod team decide the code is stable-ish (for at least the popular devices) they will start releasing nightly builds.
At that time, I see no reason for this device not to be supported since I am already building the code practically unchanged.

We are unlikely to enable nightlies against CM12 until towards the end of this month, or early next month, as we work to incorporate the CM features you’ve all come to appreciate into the new code base, and reimagine those that no longer translate to the Material look of L. It is also currently too soon to tell how many devices will transition from 11 to 12, though early traction has this number higher than we had initially hypothesized.

Thank you so much for the info! Anyways I just installed your ROM and its looking gorgeous! Smooth installations, not problems whatsoever so far. Will report later with any finding.
Thanks a lot for your work!

Installed new version 12162014.

Phone app does not crash after hanging up, but Bluetooth calls do not work.

Phone app crashes when dialing.

 

[imtawakkal]

Hello, i've already use the newest version, and it works flawlessly, btw it kind of slow loading if i using it for playing some games, is it because the app usually run at dalvik runtime and now because the lollipop it run at ART and that cause the app loading so slow?

 

[Dnorris55]

I've loaded the newest ROM, cm-12-20141218-UNOFFICIAL-evita.zip
It works great, except for a couple of things.

1. AudioFX keeps stopping.

2. When I connect my phone to computer via usb, sometimes the internal storage shows up in File Explorer, sometimes not. When it does, I can open Internal Storage and see all the folders. However, when I open some of the folders, I see either no files, or only some of the files that I know are really there. From the phone I can see the files using ES file Explorer. Also, I've found no way to change the usb protocol (MTP, PTP or USB Mass Storage).

Other than this, the ROM seems to run just fine.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for this great ROM. Runs realy smooth and stable for me, but mobile data and usb connection to my PC isnt working.

In the APN settings there is a message that the APN settings arent available for this user and im not able to add an APN. Any idea?

Camera - Unable to focus?

Just noticed that the focus on my phone does not work. Anyone notice the same issue?

It wasn't able to focus on rom packaged version and also google camera from play store. I first dirty flashed but then did a clean install and still was acting up. Was working fine in Sense 5 and CM11.

Taking photos and videos etc function works though. Just wasn't able to point focus.

 

[zodiacsoulmate]

This is so cool !! Just tried on my rogers htc one xl evita w/ hboot 2.18 and TWRP
Flawless

So far this has been great, had a couple reboots one after trying to reply with Hangouts and another when setting up my work email. Has had some small lag but nothing major.

Luckily I still had an XL for a backup. My GPE converted M7 won't turn on or charge anymore
