[ROM]NostromoPop 2.0.4 (09/6/15)[CM12.1][5.1.1]

[Soenisti]

This is the Unofficial CM12 for the HTC One XL thread!

Project status so far is working!! I've been running it for 2 days now and have had no FC's. Some apps seem to run a little slow but equivalents run fast so it's a per app issue and not Android 5 per se as Dalvik is gone and libArt is the main runtime. Otherwise it seems very very fast even compared to KitKat!

It includes all the expected functionality from CM and I've also added Apollo into the build!

NostromoPop v2.0.4 CM12 9/6/2015

PA Gapps for 5.x: Gapps

Massive massive thanks to the Google guys developing this and of course CyanogenMod!!! And the Paranoid team for the Gapps.

Oh and use the latest recovery possible!!

My firmware is a bit outdated, its the one with the v2.14 hboot. Anyway, doesn't stay on for longer than 30 seconds with it so hopefully I'll be able to update later after work. Looked nice for that 30 seconds though

Oh my god it is real I thought we'd never get lollipop...thank you so much I'll give it a try as soon as i won't risk bricking my device. Thanks again for making it possible

Holy $#!t is this real life?? Thank you based devs.
Look forward to hearing from the brave that flash this. Cant risk killing my phone even though I really want to.

edit- decided to go ahead and flash lol. It did not get past the boot animation first boot, rebooted once more without getting past. 3rd time it got to the optimizing apps screen but rebooted about 4-5 times before it could finish getting through all of the apps. Finally made it to the setup page but it just continually shows an error something like "nfc service has stopped". cant get through the setup pages before it reboots again though.

edit#2. tried flashing without gapps and the screen went black for about a minute after attempting to boot with no led showing while plugged in, wouldnt reboot holding down power for 15+ second. thought i may have taken the dreaded trip to brick city. finally got it to reboot. just thought id mention for those thinking of trying it out just for a preview.

My setup was: TWRP v2.8.1.0, HBOOT 2.18. Did a full wipe, factory reset then flashed ROM+GAPPS.

Same exact setup here, same exact results. Five or so bootloops and tries to optimize 77 apps at boot, then 33, then 12, then 6, and then it will boot GApps intro with constant NFC failure. Can't get farther than "Your tablet is set up and ready for use." So far so good though.

AS the last 2 comments, it doesnt boot.

 

[Soenisti]

Yep same for me! So, next build will not have NFC in or Camera (camera will come from Gapps so should still be OK though) and then I'll be a guinea pig again and see if it works.
I'm running TWRP 2.8.1.0, firmware 3.18 with hboot 2.18 and the rest on defaults.

It does look nice though and once you get past the optimizing bit it boots pretty fast actually...

Updated download link to version from this morning. It's not bricking anything (yet!) so you can now get through the CM setup wizard and get to launcher (after a few FC's...) and then it aborts in a SQLite DB connection initializing the alarms service.

I'm not ruling out that it's a SELinux issue with permissions but need my phone again for the moment so will test again later!

Logcat from .0.0.2

From my past experience these helped more than just saying what was the issue. But i have not been active in the testing world for a while :X

Anyways... flashed 0.0.2 with gapps alpa, hboot 2.18, twrp 2.8.1.0

The rom boots (restarts while optimizing gapps a few times) then i have to race against the clock to set up usb debugging because once Calander.apk crashes it reboots.

as most alphas, no gsm service, wifi dose not start, location services crashed for me once, but no longer getting nfc issue

hope it helps

*nogapps.txt was a fresh install with no tinkering at all and obviously with out gapps.

First of all thanks a lot for bringing lollipop to this device.

I flashed the rom and after various bootloops when i finally got through the setup it is constantly rebooting itself say after 2 minutes after staying on. I think it's happening with everyone, still it's awesome.

Lol my bad, never been involved in testing really. Just wanted to check it out so I could give the curious lurkers a heads up if it ended up bricking me or something. I'll go read up on how to get logcats for dev bros.

Hi,

thanks for the logs and yeah they fail where mine does too. Did you try a permissions reset from recovery by any chance? The radio basically isn't initializing properly and the alarm backend is crashing on SQL access so those 2 together seem to be bringing the devices down...

 

[donny101]

no go

forgot to mention when flashing cm-12-20141120.zip twrp spits out :

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/by-name/system at /system: device or resource busy
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/by-name/userdata at /data: device or resource busy

also doing a fix permissions after the 1st boot puts the rom into a bootloop at cyanogenmod screen

I also get that. Maybe try fixing permissions immediately after flashing, before booting?
Plus, you really gotta let it sit and bootloop a couple times, before GApps start.

for me twrp says it can not fix permissions after a factory reset and to boot the rom 1st, and then i wait until all gapps load (until i can see the set up page) before i fix perm.
right now im on a windows 10 computer so i cant get logcats, but once i boot into ubuntu ill attach them for the after fix permission bootloop.

^logfix is for after doing a fix permission and ending in bootloop. (sorry it was to large to upload here)

FYI, this is the same on m8. but rom works fine. so its not that preventing start.

Yeah this mount "error" is because they are mounted in recovery and the updater script wants to mount them itself... Can be ignored.

I'm building a new version today to test and will upload soon. Previous builds from last week didn't boot properly at all (no screen) but I was trying different proprietary libs so probably balked it. I've redone that now and am building again so will upload once complete.

 

[Soenisti]

Well, current builds have gone backwards. The CM logo never even comes up and it just loops continuously. Will post more when I have more! The latest is uploaded to my Android file host listing...
