[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][12.1]AICP for Elephone Trunk/Ark Benefit A3

[siljaer]

This is another adaptation of @ottmi's work, this time to AICP (64bit). It started as an experiment by request of @josoft86, tested on an italian forum, but it turned out to be rather appreciated.

Credits go to the usual list of suspects: @ottmi (obviously!), @dev_harsh1998 (device tree), @lolmaxlik_ru (peach device tree).

Due to the build system, in order for russian friends to use the ROM on their Ark Benefit A3s, I had to make a separate build for them; I used the @lolmaxlik_ru device tree with some changes for 64bit:

The kernel is based on Lineage kernel, with code for the Trunk from @ottmi's kernel. Kernel source is here:

You are welcome to report any problem!

Sorry, I guess dirty upgrade is not possible. Camera and video recording are working AFAIK. I am not using this ROM as a daily driver, but people who are report so.

installed 20171217 version on trunk.
so far all works including mediaserver!
Thanks a lot!

will you keep it up in the near future or this is occasional build ?

Actually, I am not using it; as I told, this ROM was born because of a kind request by @josoft86. It was just an experiment, but it turned out that AICP (after they transitioned from oracle java to openjdk) was quite simple to build.

However, if some people are using it and ask for it, I can rebuild it in order to include monthly changes. If people report problems, I can try and solve them. It's up to you, basically

In the past I had problems with disk space, now I have plenty of space on an external drive and I have also set up a partition for building ROMS (no more virtual machines...), so it's not a big deal.

I'll be more than happy! thanks!!

Fine. I've just made a new build, but it has still December security updates (but a new boot animation ).

I will try again in a few days, in order to publish something with more significant changes

 

[karabassssss]

fantastic, thanks

One thing,
not sure it related to aicp build, but it started to happen only when moved from ottmi's last build to aicp.
Sometimes , when phone goes into sleep mode, it unable to wake up no matter what you doing. Only removing battery and reinserting it back solves the problem.
Thanks

Thanks for your feedback, I will try to investigate. Meanwhile, I tried to compile AICP but it did not show Jan updates. I will make another build soon, no matter if it is updated, so you will be able to try it and see whether the problem still occurs.

great! thanks in advance

great! thanks in advance

New build is ready. Actually, I think AICP development for 12.1 has stalled, due to 13.1 progress. So, this is likely the last build for a while. As soon as an official build pops up for a msm8916 device I will try porting that. Let me know whether the problem you reported persists.

 

[karabassssss]

thanks. will try & report

Hey.
The display of the smartphone does not work after installing the firmware. I have Ark Benefit A3, but the motherboard from Elephone Trunk. I tried to install aicp_peach_n-12.1-UNOFFICIAL-20171218 and aicp_trunk_n-12.1-UNOFFICIAL-20180130
Previously used the firmware aicp_peach_n-12.1-NIGHTLY-20170709. (Sorry for my English, translate.google)

I assume you have a Trunk with an A3 screen; am I right?

Thanks for the feedback. Would you please give me more details about the problem?

Can you revert to the previously working firmware?

Kernel isn't a problem: I got major help by @dev_harsh1998 to patch trunk's kernel. So far, my tries to build anything Oreo for the trunk have failed. I am going to try again, but not in a short time (I am quite busy at the moment).
