Basketbuild down
Thanks a lot, Chrmhofmann for the great work!
I'd like to give it a try but basketbuild seems to be out of order for at least awhile. Is there an alternative source for the ROM?

@vandenFitz You should use the official 4.4.X (beta) version for the FP1(u) instead of this. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67571018&postcount=159
Is there a download for it somewhere?
Do you have to sign up for their beta program? https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fairphone-beta-program/4557
Here is the Blogpost: https://www.fairphone.com/2016/06/30/fairphone-1-upgrade-to-android-kitkat-4-4-coming-soon/
and here is the Forumthread to contribute as a FP1 Android 4.4 tester: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/closed-call-for-testers-of-android-4-4alpha-for-fairphone-1/19411
But it says: No more testers needed

HELP!!! Hi, I'm a complete noob at this, but usually pretty decent at following instructions. I've downloaded the 3 files to my FP1U, recovery.img, fp1-kk444-CH-0.9.7.zip, and open_gapps-arm-4.4-nano-20161207.zip. The first want to open in unrelated apps (Clue or MyMoneyTracker), the other two look like update files but every attempt to open them results in the error message 'Unfortunately, Fairphone Updater has stopped.'
What do I dooooo?????
What do I dooooo?????
This "operation" is not as simple, as it might look like: You need tutorials for each step:
1. provide a connection between pc and android phone (adb, enable debugging, maybe driver)
2. flashing a custom recovery (recovery.img) on the fairphone
(e.g.: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Fairphone_Fairphone/Flashing_Guide
3. booting your phone into recovery mode
4. install the fp1-kk444-CH-0.9.7 and the open_gapps-4.4-nano via "adb sideload"
(e.g.: http://hackerspace.kinja.com/how-to-install-a-rom-via-sideload-1505153925)
Be prepared, that things doesn't work as they should ...

Hey, thanks for this Kitkat ROM!
I've got it running with my Fairphone (Model: FP1).
It didn't work with the micro, mini or full version of Gapps. But with the nano
I had no problems concerning my IMEI
Will these ROM be updated since the news of dropped maintenance?
And does anyone know how to get a hold of the official alpha ROM macadamia-1.9.9-pre3-alpha with instructions for repartitioning?

27This is Android 4.4.4 kitkat compiled from scratch from some other device sources that you find on the web. Adapted to fairphone FP1(U).
It includes various security fixes on top of 4.4.4 - but most likely not all. Major security hole detectors are green now (VTS, Bluebox, Zimperium).
NOTE: PHONES CAN BE LIFE SAVERS. DON'T RELY ON THIS PHONE AS YOUR SOLE COMMUNICATION MEANS. I HAVE NOT TESTED EMERGENCY CALLS, NOR CAN I GUARANTEE THAT THIS PHONE WILL WORK IF YOU ARE IN DANGER. CARRY ANOTHER PHONE WITH YOU. DON'T GO FOR A 3 DAY HIKE ONLY WITH THIS PHONE!
Without much ado...
To install...
- Flash the recovery from here: https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=chrmhoffmann&dl=chrmhoffmann/fp1-kk-stock/recovery.img
- Boot into recovery and flash the rom, eg. with adb sideload. Download here: https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...mhoffmann/fp1-kk-stock/fp1-kk444-CH-0.9.7.zip MD5sum: 9140c93ff8f2b8327fdd330d2448c16f
- I guess you also want to flash some KK gapps that can be found somewhere (e.g http://opengapps.org/?api=4.4&variant=nano)
- You might also lose your IMEI like me? Don't PANIC! The IMEI's are noted on your FP. Remove the battery and write down the numbers. Then once you have booted the phone, follow this simple tutorial to fix this: https://www.facebook.com/fXDAdev/posts/448292925303711
Bugs:
- IMEI loss when flashing from stock FP1. No clue why this happens. Are we somehow overriding some NVRAM?
- CTS is complaining about some issues. https://christianhoffmann.info/2015.11.29_16.17.03/testResult.xml
- As this is a merge of 4.4.4 into the MTK stuff, watch out for more bugs than the previous release. Not merged: the new 4.4.4 dialer screen (we stick with 4.4.2 dialer as the modifications are too heavy), chromium does not support wml anymore (who cares?).
- You most likely need to wipe to install this when coming from the previous KK version to 4.4.4. Email app e.g. seems to crash without.
- Playstore version of Google Authenticator does not work (see https://github.com/google/google-authenticator-android/pull/4). Use the OSS version https://github.com/google/google-authenticator-android/releases - this is not specific to FP1 but seems an MTK issue.
- A dirty update (without wipe) from 0.8 on an encrypted device seems to reboot once during the "Android is upgrading" dialog
- Sometimes the lower part of the homescreen launcher seems to lose transparency.

Changelog fp1-kk444-CH-0.3:
- More CVE fixes (e.g CVE-2015-3845). VTS and Bluebox Trustable are almost green. For some reasons they still think "Stagefright" is not fixed. Zimperium nevertheless shows all stagefright OK. Edit: found out why. It's false positive as MTK reports errors in MPEG4Extractor differently than stock.

- Netflix issue fixed with new blob from E3
- Some CTS issues fixed
- More security fixes CVE-2014-7911
Changelog fp1-kk444-CH-0.1:
- Upgraded to 4.4.4_r2.0.1: Yay! That was an insane amount of work. The following "shortcuts" were taken:
-- Chromium sources taken from AOSP - MTK added wml but it was too much work to merge this back in
-- Email app sources taken from aosp - MTK customized something there esp. exchange sync, is that really giving someone problems?
-- Dialer app taken from MTK without 4.4.4 updates - that stuff is too heavily customized also for dual sim, and 4.4.4 revamped the UI, so this was just too much work for now.
- Latest security fixes up to November 2015. Security fixes also for wpa_supplicant_8 (thanks to Michael Bestas for collecting them for CM)
- Kernel sec fixes
- FP1 power profile xml (does this actually change anything)
As usual some credits:
- @Santhosh M : for some advice on the modem/baseband
- @keesj and fairphone for ___providing___ me a fairphone that replaced my own broken one (never figured out why it doesn't boot anymore)
- @CyanogenMod and koush for superuser stuff that I kanged into the MTK stock
- @CyanogenMod for the stagefright fixes
Let me know if
- it works also on older FP1 (without U).
- you have problems with your IMEI, too
- if you find other major issues
- if you think I am missing some security updates
- i had some issues getting the "phone" part of it work. Somehow it started working - not sure what it was. If you don't get the phone (call, etc.) to work, check your IMEIs first.80.7
0.7 changelog:
- fix the R - oaming symbol for some virtual operators (like Free in France)
- Use fm50AF lens params from original FP - does this make auto focus better?
- Fix lock screen issue (thx @Quallenauge for the reproducible test case from Google Maps navigation). This fixes at least one pattern that broke the slider and recents screen. I am not sure if this fixes all those issues, but I hope so
Give it a go!
Chris760.9.1 released...
It fixes:
- several kernel CVEs
- the december 1st security advisory bulletin skia issue introduced in 0.9.0 - aka as the dilbert bug6
