[ROM]NostromoPop 2.4.0 (25/10/16)[CM12.1][5.1.1]

This is the Unofficial CM12.x for the HTC One Mini 2 thread!

Project status so far is working!! I've had trouble finding the proper libraries and thought I'd bricked my device yesterday with an earlier build but then grabbed the CM11 latest and used libraries and firmware files from that and it works! 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!

Plus this build includes my own DPIChanger app to make things a little easier.

Download link:

NostromoPop v2.4.0 CM12.1 25/10/2016

Open Gapps for all ROMs: Gapps

Log for current 2.2.5!

Massive massive thanks to the Google guys developing this and of course CyanogenMod and without a doubt, u-ra for porting the device initially and for maintaining the device trees and recovery image!!! And the Paranoid team for the Gapps.

Oh and use the latest recovery possible!! And if you are feeling adventurous or miss the old Xposed framework from JB and KK then try this from @rovo89 : Xposed

Hi, I'm new here. Flashed a lot one my HTC ville, but got a One Mini 2 now. Poor custom ROM diversity for memul, so thank you for your efforts.

On download page it says ...memul.zip but then for HTC One XL???

Just flashed Nostromopop, works great! Thanks dude for giving us Lollipop on One Mini 2!

For all followers: first boot took several minutes, this is not a bootloop. Be patient!

I'll report issues after some testing.

Got some problems with the launcher I'm using (KK) but works fine now. Camera works for me. Can't find Apollo app, but that's no problem.

How can I restore my e-mail accounts from CM11 ? Not working with Titanium Backup.

Nice Work! U-ra was also working on this but I guess you beat him to it. Will try it tomorrow
You do realize this is a build of the stuff I'm pushing to the CyanogenMod repo? All the bugs listed in this thread are the reason there's no official nightly yet.

So it's mainly your work? Then thank you for your efforts!

The Nostromo build shows surprisingly few problems so far and I won't complain about things that do not work. I'm very happy to get a first lollipop experience.

It's great to hear that there will be CM12 for memul, I was not sure about this. There were so much ROMs for my HTC ville and there seems to be so few development for the Mini2. Future CM12 support is good news for me.

Yeah built it first for the One XL (my main phone) and then attempted the build for the Mini 2 and forgot to update the config/common.mk file in vendor/cm!!

Yep, hence the thanks in the first post. And as I stated all I did was built it with a set of libraries that worked. Also built a version of PAC Man a while back but could never get hold of the devs to get the build uploaded.

I'm also running your build of TWRP as it's the only proper recovery for this phone out there.

So all in all, without u-ra this wouldn't exist or would still be in development.

Just flashed the rom a few hours ago. After playing with it a bit, I would point out a few things.
1. The AOSP camera app hangs a hell lot and also freezes the phone. So an alternative camera app will be the suggestion.
2. It is almost as smooth as the stock rom.
3. I am really missing Xposed on this. Guess I'll have to wait for it or go back to stock.
4. There is a bit of a clicking sound in audio at the highest volume, something that was present in CM11 when I used it previously(Not sure if it is still present in the newer versions).

The only main gripe for me is the unreliability of the camera. I will try other apps, but nothing can beat the Stock Sense camera IMHO.

I strongly suggest that you take down this "ROM"

As this is only U-ra's work. You presenting this ROM is really stealing his shine as HE IS THE ONLY ONE really making anything for this device. We don't want to upset him by doing these things do we?

Let him present his work when it's fineshed!

When you touch a ball that's allready a 100% goal did you score?

Calm down. The record is already set straight. Also, posting builds is perfectly fine, as is using CM base to build other variants, so long as the credits are given and licenses followed.
Exactly and without u-ra we wouldn't have ROMs on this phone or a recovery at all! And now that full CM12 is up then that is now available and can be used from now on. I'll only upload builds for this when I have added custom bits etc. For example I've bene testing builds of PAC and am waiting on Carbon being available on 5.x.
