NOTES - MUST READ

1. All credits goes to @Grarak for making the sources. I've only built LOS using his sources. Also I've been able to build by using Google Cloud platform since my PC is crap... It took me 1h 30m to build with Google Cloud platform, while with my PC was still building after 7h of building and then got an error regarding my PC (was too slow or out of memory).
2. Don't use encryption. I don't know why, but Grarak mentioned this on his twitter at the last build for CAN-L01.

[COLOR=167c80]Requirements[/COLOR]

- Huawei Nova CAN-L11
- EMUI 4.1 (Android 6.0). I've flashed it successfully from EMUI 5 ( Android 7.0) too and I didn't encounter any problems.
- Unlocked bootloader ( here's a guide about how to unlock it)
- TWRP by @Grarak. I've been on his TWRP while flashing LOS. I don't know if it works with other TWRP.

[COLOR=167c80]Installation[/COLOR]

Make sure you meet the requirements listed above.

1. Download the ROM and put it on sdcard. If you want GAPPS too, then download Open Gapps too (choose arm64, 6.0 and pico).
2. Reboot in TWRP by pressing all 3 buttons (Volume UP + Volume Down + Power).
3. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.
4. Flash the ROM from the directory where you've placed it.
5. Flash GAPPS (OPTIONALLY).
6. Reboot.

It goes fine on my AL10, and the SD card issue I had was solved with:

Code:

sm storage-force-adaptable yes

I posted that in the other lineage thread.
My question would now be how is this different than the other build?

Only other thing I will mention, I use gravity box for minor status bar tweaks (the percent seems to not natively stay in the circle) and pie control with no nav bar (more screen for me). If you touch lockscreen stuff in gravity box you will make your lockscreen insecure. It will be a simple swipe in order to get to your phone. I know gravity box should not be used with lineage, but I mention it as I encountered it.

Thanks for this tip. I understand that this command enables adoptable storage, but I don't want to use adoptable storage as it may slow down the phone. Also, by using this command, the sdcard gets formatted too?

My question would now be how is this different than the other build?

The CAN-L01 build couldn't be flashed on CAN-L11 because the partition sizes defined in BoardConfig.mk were L01 ones which were bigger than L11 ones and upon flashing L01 build I was getting an error saying that it's too big.

I've corrected the partition sizes for L11 and built it. That's the only change.

#Henkate · May 27, 2017 at 6:06 PM

It seems that the sdcard can be accessed through /mnt/media_rw/9016-4EF8, assuming you're rooted.

I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong.

wangdaning · May 28, 2017 at 2:12 AM

I see, when I ran the command posted above my SD card was visible in other file explorers.

Ive just fixed the sdcard issue. It seems that the problem was in fstab.qcom.
Ill make some other changes and then ill make a new build.

Good man, just wonder if your build will run on my device.

hi
tnx for your work.can we (owner of nova plus)use this rom?

It should work as long as it flash successfully. It's the same ROM as L01 one just that it has the partition sizes modified for L11, so it should work. If it gets stuck in recovery while flashing, then it means that the L11 partition sizes "doesn't fit" your model.

I don't know, you can try to flash and report whether it works or not. As always, take a backup before.

Hello
Does anybody have the camera working?

wangdaning · May 30, 2017 at 4:24 AM

I will give it a shot next weekend, kind of need my phone to work during the week. I wonder if we start a partition table thread if that would be helpful. It was my understanding that most of the partitions are the same except userdata, which is based on variant.

Yes, the camera is working. The bugs are mentioned in post #2.

Well, i guees that would be helpful assuming people will post their partition table. Here I've wrote how to check the partition sizes.

Thanks for the quick response. I followed the guide step by step and I always get this message in camera app "Camera Error Can't connect to camera".
Also no third party camera app is working, I tried restarting, re flashing Gapps and re flashing the rom. still the same error.
attached is a screen shot.

That's weird. It's working fine for me and there's no issues.

Can you try to wipe Internal storage too? But make a backup of internal memory before doing that.
I haven't flashed GAPPS as I'm not using them, but it shouldn't affect the camera in any way.

I've just tried Open Camera and works fine too.
