Android Lollipop for Sola using sources provided by Agontuk, so all credits to him. For now nothing works, but we are sure we can make it stable at some point. Any help would be appreciated.

Note: Please don't say "This doesn't work or is it stable for daily use". It's just a preview release so that you can try out lollipop.

INSTALLATION
- Extract boot.img from the zip and flash it via fastboot
- Copy the zip to your SDCard
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache
- Go to Mount and uncheck system
- Flash the zip (It takes some time to install)
- Reboot your device

First boot takes some minutes. Wait patiently.

I'm currently without my Sola, so i can't test it, but i guess no.
Anyway for another device i have (always lp rom) are suggested those gapps

Thanks!

But I've just 120mb data left.
Anyway,
I'll be switching back to CM11 soon because I need RIL as I don't have WiFi right now.

With this gapps phone gots boot loop. After all, I'm very good surprised about 5.0 , it's fast, really fast, something about 150 mb free ram, of course, many force closes, once I got random reboot, generally it's good rom, if ril will be works, I can be beta tester, damn I like it also something what impress me, battery saver, I know this is Lollipop part, I really miss about stamina mode in all of the kitkats there, it's interesting, I must test it )

ops! I'm sorry dude, but as said, i can't test until few days, so it was possible that gapps i told to try weren't good for this rom
Anyway if someone found a good one i would like to know the link
Cheers

Using it for almost 10 hours now.
As an alpha build, kudos to devs! :victory:

• Bluetooth works good.
• Audio works flawlessly.
• Wifi got disconnected automatically at a point.
• The battery is good. I think its just because of no RIL.
• RIL doesn't work. Even a little as mentioned.
• As expected, the UI is laggy.
• No root access.
• There's no lockscreen wallpaper.

And a lot of bugs!
