[ROM][VNS-LX1][6.0.1][UNOFFICIAL] AICP for Huawei P9 Lite

[The Marionette]

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, the 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!!

 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 *

Flash procedure:
1. Make sure that you are running my CM build or the CM build by Meticulus
2. Remove all registered fingerprints
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. Do a Factory reset
5. Flash the AICP build
6. Flash Gapps (I suggest Open Gapps,use the arm64 packages)
7. Reboot
8. Profit

How to delete the fingerprint

Does everything work or are there any bugs?

How to delete the fingerprint

Settings > Lockscreen > Fingerprint > *Click on your registered fingerprint in the options* > Delete > *click OK*

Does everything work or are there any bugs?

Simply put,it has the same bugs as CM(the 2.1MP cam limit and that is that?)

How about Bluetooth paring?

 

[harisyks]

Care to elaborate on the difference between this and CM?

Hi,

I have a few questions:

1: Does this work on any P9 Lite variant (i have VNS-L21)?
2: Why is archive so big (almost 700mb)?
3: What Open Gapps package do you recommend to flash?

Tnx

1. Yeah,I declared the L"X"1 value to say that it is compatible with both L31 and L21.
2. AICP is "fatter" than CM since it has extra features,so no reason to panic. :silly:
3.I personally use the Pico package and then just install other Google apps which I need. That is the beauty of Open Gapps,you have several options.

Thanks man for fast answer, the flashing will comence in the morning, i need a straight head for this ?

And sa for archive size i did not panic, just been curious because i had AICP on my galaxy s4 and it was half the size...

AICP rom is one of the best out there and it has sooo much customization options that i almost cry with happyness when i saw this post ?

And one more question: do i use ARM or ARM64 version of gapps?

 

[Potato997]

Huawei P9 Lite have to use ARM64

 

[The Marionette]

Huawei P9 Lite have to use ARM64

Yeah,I thought everyone knew that...
Added it as well to the instructions! xD

@The Marionette thanks for this amazing work. There is some possibility that you can support the VNS-L23 variant? It is practically equal to the L31, with the only differences that do not have NFC support, the bands 4G are different and it has 2GB of RAM. Greetings.

Hey @The Marionette,

I flashed the ROM and i got error that data partition could not be mounted and then when i click to boot in to android the phone boots but it ask for password to start android...

What to do?

EDIT: After rebooting recovery the data partition is mounted again and i did a full wipe then flashed rom and gapps again but after boot in to android it ask for password again...

I have the L21 variant and it works fine for me. If CM works on your device,AICP will work as well.

Did you follow the instructions or did you do it your own way?
Are you coming from stock?
I think everyone needs to be on CM before flashing.
I flashed it exactly like I described and it booted.
The only downside is that the TWRP goes red(thinks the current ROM is stock) and data can't be mounted. I will look into it.

I followed Meticulus instructions first (did all backups and dump) and then i followed your instructions from OP but i come from stock rom, did not try to install Meticulus CM ROM... So now i managed to get past password screen by formating data partition to FAT and then formating it back to ext4 but now when phone boot i get "Decryption unsuccessful" screen and when i click "reset phone" button it reboots in recovery, wipe cache and then boots up back to "Decryption unsuccessful" screen...

I am downloading now Meticulus build to try with that... Will report back soon...

EDIT: I managed to boot AICP!!! By doing this:
First i updated recovery (did not see that Meticulus pushed V2) then i flashed Meticulus CM build but i got "Decryption failed" screen again but this time when i clicked "reset phone" buton the phone just rebooted to TWRP.
Then i did again full harcore wipe and flashed CM with open gapps and the phone booted in to system without problem, from that point i figure that AICP must work now so i rebooted back to TWRP, did another hardcore full wipe, flashed AICP with Open Gapps micro ARM64 version and the phone finaly booted to AICP :happy: :happy: :happy:

Btw i noticed few thing while doing all this... When i first booted CM my SIM card was not recognized but i figured it needs some time to get the signal or wathever but that never hapend and i cheked camera app and in setting of the app i saw that front and back camera was set to full resolution and the photo i took was really in full (13Mpix) resolution... After checking that and few more things i flashed AICP and at first boot my SIM still not working so i figure i will reboot and after second boot the SIM works again but in this ROM front and back camera are set to 2.1mpix (not a problem for me, just saying for ppl to know)...

Now i am going to play with this awesome ROM!

Thanks @The Marionette

EDIT 2: So after few hours of playing with AICP i been forced to go back to stock because my mobile network gone crazy, every 5-10 minutes it disapear and only reboot helps to get connected again and when network disapears the UI get so much lag that is almost unusable...

I can confirm that other things in ROM work as it should, fingerprint, themes, sound bar, navigation bar customization, lcd density, UI animations customizations etc...

Nice work and keep up the good work! ?

So I am running this ROM on my device since yesterday and I really like it. Seems very stable and allows for a lot of modifications.
It drains a lot of battery while listening to music when the device is locked but I also experienced this on the CM ROM.
I am keeping it on my device for now and am looking forward to new updates

 

[Potato997]

Hello @The Marionette,
May I ask you if you plan to update the AICP ROM with the update from CM? Thank you
