[UNOFFICIAL][ROM] Android 5.1.1 for mako v0.6 [14.05.2015]

[eagleeyetom]

I didn't initially plan to release more than one version of this ROM, so yay, time to re-write the OP :silly:

Here's an unofficial Android 5.1 for the Google Nexus 4. No significant modifications, just a plain, good ol' AOSP, which becomes more usable every release. Before we proceed. At this moment, Google has not released binary files for Android 5.1, so I'm using the 5.0.1 ones.

package aosp;

import disclaimer;

public class AOSP extends Disclaimer {

    /**

     *
     */
    public AOSPDisclaimer(){
        warranty.set(0);
    }

}

Installation

• Download the ROM from AndroidFileHost or Mega (mirrors in the second post)
• Copy the ROM to your SD Card or launch the adb sideload in the recovery
• Install the ROM
• Install GAPPs (these are recommended)
• Install SuperSU
  [*]Install Xposed Framework if you like
• Wipe the data if you're coming from other ROMs
• Reboot

Changelog in post #2

Enjoy!

yeah baby! this is wonderful!!! thx for your hard work!!! i will give it a try today later when i find the time as i am curious if xposed is working on 5.1. the 5 blobs should not be a problem as 5.1 is a small update.

one question. did you find any bugs that might be a deal breaker for some people?

Installed

As far as i used it so far no bugs! great work! Very smooth! :good:
Could it be possible to post a modified settings apk with ambient display?
I know it's not fully functional on the Nexus 4 but however i miss that notification-thing

I appreciate your hardwork sir and want to let you know that I just clean flashed your ROM along with latest PA Gapps and SuperSU v2.46.

ROM flashed successfully but Gapps failed.

TWRP screen shows this package of Gapps is only for 5.0.x and cannot be used with 5.1.

It would really be great if you very kindly take out some more time to keep the good work up.

I'll try to install apk files of Play Svcs and Play Store etc and will see if it works.

 

[eagleeyetom]

As far as I know, 5.1 gapps are not available yet. I will try to create a separate package soon.

PA Gapps works if you change "req_android_version" to 5.1 on installer.data

Yes, this method works too. Google released new apps though which can be used with 5.1

GPS

Noticed that my GPS isn't working. It just shows the icon in the statusbar and stays there forever (Tested with Google Maps & Android Device Manager)

 

[MusadiqManas]

May be it's not the best time to run 5.1 on mako, at least for me.

Using Nexus Root Toolkit, I have installed apks of Google Play Services, Play Store, Gmail, Google Now Launcher and Google Search but now every time I click on Google Settings or Play Store (even in System Settings --> Accounts--> Add Account--> Google) a pop up persistently appears and says "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped" .

Looks like old apks cannot make friends with new OS version.

Try updating your google play services with Aptoide. The newest version from there worked very well for me.

Yes, this method works too. Google released new apps though which can be used with 5.1

How do we change that and can you give me the file you used for Gapps ?

Just flashed android 5.1 and must say it is really a polished build as compared to 5.0 !! First thing is multitasking wohooo !! Seems like you own a new device !! Apps just done seem to close whatever you do how hard a multitasker you are android 5.1 seems to handle this reallylike a champ !! Amazing work thanks eagle eye for getting this stuff rolled out so fast !!

Some things to note
Flash banks gapps minimal ( worked for me ) .Play services will auto update in a few mins and playstore access will be back once the play services auto updates

GPS doesn't work as reported


Rest still to test

Is the "mobile radio active" bug fixed in 5.1?

 

[dicksonjoe]

please tell me the no audio bug is gone! ughhhhhh

 

[zangy93]

iPhone users be like "why can't google release new versions for all nexus devices at same time even apple can do this"

we are like "google does not release it for our device yet? let's port it!"

good work man

 

[fr3quency]

Can anyone edit the Dialer apk to use the updated-lollipop icon instead of the old one?

 

[christiano88]

I've lost recovery while flashing this, also forgot to root with supersu, now I can't get recovery back (twrp requires an app with root support from the playstore).

So, any more feedbacks?
