AICP​

Android Ice Cold Project​

This is NOT my work! I only compiled this ROM for our beloved Z-Ultra aka Togari
.
.
.
.
.

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

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP either stopped development or will make a comeback later this year, we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.

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

Latest ROM Release
Download Link:

• ROM DOWNLOAD (Android-Filehost).

GAPPS:

• PA GAPPS.

• You tell..

ROMS should contain everything you need to enjoy Lollipop. You are not required to install any Add Ons, simply download the latest ROM, gapps, flash it, and go!
You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these 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 strange behavior.


How to flash:

• Don't do it if you don't know it
• Make sure you are either on any Lollipop or KitKat ROM (CM11, etc) or on 4.4.2 Sony based ROM and NOT on 4.3 (or older) Sony based ROM
• Make sure your Bootloader is unlocked!
• Download the latest build
• Download Gapps
• Take a nandroid backup
• Recommended - Full wipe and factory reset
• Flash ROM using any recovery
• Flash Gapps
• Wipe cache/dalvik
• Reboot.
• Don't fix root if asked!
• Enjoy!
• ROM has gapps persistance in between dirty flashes

KERNEL:
Kernel in this rom follows SlimRoms-Source

FAQ

Q: How often is this ROM getting updated?
A: I try to post updates as often as i can
OTA is not working so don't try using that


Q: Does this work using Using MultiROM?
A: No, not for now
For replace CM-Recovery with TWRP use http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/219 and flash using fastboot flash FOTAKernel

[alia5]

does this ROM has the brightness bug?

Didn't experience it yet

Is this using flash tool?

No, using fastboot via commandline.
I think you can also use TWRP Manager app from Playstre but I did NOT test that

 

[thepatman]

Video playback working? Have had good experiences with AICP in the past - thanks!

 

[alia5]

Of course!

Also Version number just got bumped to 8.0 Final
Expect an update in a few hours

 

[Blaudrachen]

I was able to get this flashed and working fine, and it works with the TWRP recovery 2.8.4.1. I'll put some more time into it after the next update.

Thanks for this!

 

[shaolin95]

Is there a list of features? I am hoping to find a build with a working sound dsp or similar that allows me to boost the headset output. So far, the ones I have tried with the features do not really work.
Thanks!

 

[alia5]

It doesn't FC, but i don't seem to notice any impact.
Guess it's a CM issue and will get sorted out sooner or later
Edit: Untill then try out PowerAmp... EQ / Preamp works great!

Will check again when the 8.0 Release build has finished

Also feature list will come later!

Edit: Update is out
Activating MusicFX breaks default MusicApp

Very nice ROM. Pretty stable if you ask me. Is their any way you can add a fix for the 4G icon? It should show LTE but shows 4G instead near the Signal Icon.

 

[usagi111]

Does the camera work on this rom?, and what about the dimness flicker???

As stated in the OP this ROM is not my work, I've only built it, so my guess would be no
However, you can make a feature request on their G+ Community to bring back the feature from kitkat
But the folks there a pretty busy so don't get your hopes up

Everything works as far as i can see besides AudioFX
Didn't experience any brightness flickering, yet

Camera works good. As for the Brightness flicker, it looks like its fixed. I am thinking mine keeps dimming down because of Overheat protection. But it isn't as bad as it was before.

AICP is freakin' awesome!

You can flash a kernel with faux123's Sound Control and use his FauxSound app to increase the gain. Zombie kernel, crDroid kernel and Slim kernel all come with this feature.

For additional sound control (it also has gain boost), you can install Viper4Android (I got the standard version). Make SELinux permissive, uncheck Nuplayer in development settings, then flash LolliViper and open the app to install the driver and adjust the sound. :good

EDIT: Just noticed that disabling NuPlayer breaks some video functionality for me - like playing videos in Snapchat or Photos - so I'm enabling it again. Viper still works, so I guess that step is unnecessary!

Didnt know Zombie had that option. I will try the latest release.
Thanks!

Apperently just flashing Zombie-Kernel fixes the default AudioFX! Thanks @Triflot

I have two things to report from my C6802:

1. It seems like the navbar disappears in landscape on 240 DPI. It is a similar bug to what happened in Candy but different in the sense that this one acts up in tablet mode while the other does it in phone mode.

2. The BT audio bug seems to be present, still (dropouts after a while, should be possible to work around it with Bluetooth Keepalive).

Beside those two things, the ROM seems to be great - especially with ZombieKernel.
