Has anyone managed to get it working? I just tried to install via FlashFire and wound up getting an animation loop on the SlimLP boot logo. I applied the 5.1.1 firmware through the "apply update through adb" option in the recovery, can anyone confirm Xposed even working on SlimLP?
I'd like to know this also. Have not tried it yet.
I think you have to use the slim-rom version from the 4th post. The original slim rom is not running with xposed beacause of some ART optimizations... Read the slim rom thread. There you can find something about it.
Thanks! Think I found an easier solution than installing Xposed for what zip needed though (just needed YouTube to play in the background). That will come in handy if I want it later for any reason though.
Yes, xposed works fine. Big thanks to csolanol!
You must use the xposed compatible SlimLP 0.13 build + the correct xposed version (see the howto xposed thread in Fire General forum).
Anybody had success with getting .013 build running successfully with eXposed.. I've tried the ' Slim-ford-5.1.1.beta.0.13-UNOFFICIAL-20151221-0949.zip ' build from root junkies tutorial i think in section 4 or something if i remember vaguely, but with no luck... The Flash just proceeds as expected then reboots while opening/loading .zip.. But the standard release 'non-eXposed' runs without any problems.
Need to include more information. You're flashing with twrp or flashfire? If you used flashfire, what are you coming from? Stock 5.1.1 or another rom.
Do you mean after flashing the rom your Fire will not boot / start up?
I flashed SlimLP 0.13 via twrp without a problem on two different Fires. Xposed runs fine.
thanks for your reply, I'm flashing with flashFire from a r00ted fresh clean stock fire-os 5.1.1 on Amazon Fire 7" 5th Gen. i execute flash after selecting wipe all partitions except sd and then load .zip via ota then push button to commence flash, it proceeds to blank screen and then flashing screen and begins to attempt rom install i see rom info and 'char pic' of rom then it self terminates and reboots to existing r00ted fire-os, i do this exact same process with the rom not currently supporting Xposed from rootjunkie download site, and everything completes successfully spending a slightly longer period at the rom install/upload stage completing successfully with slimlp running nice... minus a few almost irrelevant bugs i noticed...
Twrp via adb doesn't work with 5.1.1 right? only works on 5.0.1&2? .. unless im mistaken.. any ideas?
Yep, we can't use twrp on 5.1.1.
So you select to wipe, system data, 3rd party apps, dalvik cache, cache partition, correct? I'm afraid I have no suggestions.
exactly that's correct , then i select rom, then i select gapps. then press flash button and it halts on the next screen as it begins to flash rom and quits to a reboot .. everything still unchanged as it was.. i have tried this process installing from stock os fire 5.1.1 & slimlp 5.1.1 with unsuccessful results.. but hey at least i have a SlimLp non-Xposed edition installed that beats Fire-BS#"*t any day. guess I'll have to wait for a new build to be released. bummer.
---------- Post added at 12:32 ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 ----------
in the future i guess more concentration is needed on the 5.1.1 Xposed edition skimlp rom to be flashed from 5.1.1 stock, for the true android custom eXperience .. i have also seen a fw roll back to 5.0.1or5.0.2 is not possible from any 5.1.1 os. never mind.
What I find is odd is that you've selected to wipe first. Flashfire should be wiping before trying & failing to flash SlimLP 0.13, leaving your Fire wiped & unable to boot back into the stock FireOS (you would then need to restore FireOS 5.1.1 via adb sideload in the amazon recovery). FlashFire is in beta & I think it's currently a bit buggy.

Sorry, I feel I joined the conversation mid-way but, which SlimROM thread are you talking about?
There is only one SlimLP-Thread in android development section.
Newest SLim-Version for Fire is without Art-Optimizations, so you can use xposed now with the latest slimlp 0.14.
With the older SlimLP 2.3 there was Art-Optimization inside - so there no xposed was working.

Thanks for the reply. I actually don't have a Fire and came across this thread after a lot of googling. I'm running SlimLP 0.12 I think on a Note Edge. I absolutely love this ROM. Seriously, I was close to selling the phone for scraps until I flashed this ROM. Now I think I will never buy another phone unless there is SlimROM support already
Anyway, I've been looking everywhere for a solution to get Xposed running. I found people saying that SELinux needs to be set to Permissive which I have done but still no luck. Are you saying that it's impossible with SlimLP versions before 0.14? Somehow, I doubt that would come to the Note Edge

Maybe you shouldn't presume, with no information, that people are imbeciles? Don't you think I would've have done that at the beginning? Anyway, I may be wrong but I presumed that whether or not Xposed worked was more dependent on the ROM and not the phone? So if people here, who are discussing Xposed on SlimROM can help me, why not ask?
Bib_x is correct, i confirm Xposed working on slimlp build 0.14 beautifully for Fire 7 5th Gen.. be wary of modules you install other wise you'll have to start everything from scratch when you reach a boot hang because of a not yet compatible module.. you have no custom recovery remember so no quick fix, can always fresh install everything lol., which is good training lol.
I have an MTCD Joying head unit, and i've struggled from day 1 to get TT Go working on it.
I have a paid subscription and it is my preferred GPS software, so I was determined to get it working.
I tried many different ROMs but they were either buggy or unstable or just didn't let me install tomtom, or I could get a solid stable ROM but couldn't install Xposed etc.
As you probably might know, the problem usually lies with the huge serial number that these Chinese units have.
Anyway, without further ado, I will detail the process I used to make it all work properly using the latest stock firmware and some Xposed hacks.
I've ended up with a nice stable system, it's fast, it boots up in 14 seconds and I don't have any issues with bluetooth or laggyness or TT saying it can't connect etc.
Please make sure you use the EXACT versions that I used otherwise it might not work ( I had to try many permutations of different software to get this far ) .
I'm working from the latest Joying ROM dated 27th September please note it's an MTCD image, do NOT flash this if you have MTCB./MTCC.
So install the latest ROM dated 27th September, you can find it in post number 416 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...-factory-firmware-rk3188-mtcd-t3366561/page42
Once installed you need to root the image.
Go into factory settings, and put in the code *#hct#root# you should get back the message "ADB ROOT"
Once ADB rooted, install KingoRoot
Once rooted, go and install SuperSU from the play store but don't run it. Just install.
After that, download and run SuperSu-Me v6.7 and let it run and reboot.
After reboot, run super su and let it update the binary
After that, download Flashfire app from play store
Press the + button in flashfire and choose ZIP option and flash xposed-v86-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-dsa-20160715.zip
Unit restarts
after restart, install xposed installer
after installing xposed installer, find and download mtcservice-2.28.apk
open mtcservice and select advanced options > serial number
set a 12 digit serial number of your own choosing
open xposed, choose modules , tick the checkbox for mtcservice
reboot
install TT go from APK
bingo. Job done.
I'm sorry I can't actually post links to xda-developers yet but I can make a .zip file and upload it with all the files required in it if anyone needs it but someone else will have to link to it for me.
Cheers best of luck.
Cool! Will try. Please make a zip with all files if you can.
https://mega.nz/#!oB4FTZyJ!91wAORXxNh8Ukg8kwI_MJLXhhy0eCBWMNkBuQhv8DhQ
link has everything EXCEPT for:
kingoroot (all the online storage places say it has a virus in it .. I got it from https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/kingoroot-download.htm .. download at your own risk.
tomtom apk , again google for the APK i'm using the latest one tomtom GPS navigation traffic 1.12 since i have a subscription, and it's a fremium app anyway i think it's fair for me to download the APK
also would like to point out that the dmcu.zip and dupdated.zip is the stock firmware and ROM for a Joying MTCD unit.
do not flash these if you don't know what you are doing or don't have an MTCD unit and dont flash dmcu.zip unless you also have a joying unit..
good luck let me know how it goes for you.
Wow finally a solution! I tried almost everything. This finally worked. Thanks for the great step by step guide!!!
Hi Lordxenu,
I have an Erisin ES3015V and want to install Tomtom, because like you, I ever loved it.
However, my unit is an Android 5.1.1 with 1024x600, and think Tomtom is not able to install into units with a display larger than 800x600. Is yours 1024x600 one or not? This is important for me, because I've tried to install from Play Store but it refuses to do so, and I don't exactly why: 1024x600? Serial number as you stated?
Before getting mad trying to install, I want to have things as clear as possible.
Regards!!!
Hi
Yes my unit is a 1024x600.
I could not install from play store either. Either due to serial number or due to it not recognising what device you have.
But installing via my guide above works. Mine is also 5.1.1
Hi,
thanks a lot for your description.
I think this would be a solution for my 4046GD.
I have
MCU-Version:
MTCD_KGL_V1.75.2

Will this also work on this device?
Hi Dobhi
Yes. It should work. Your unit is MTCD and 5.1.1
You can probably try it on your existing image without having to flash a new one as long as its stable and fast.
Otherwise flash the provided image (assuming your units screen is in 1024x600 if not find the same image for your resolution
Let me know how it goes for you.
Hey Lordxenu,
thanks for the fast reply.
I have to say that i'm a complete noob depending on android devices...
Yes the resolution is 1024x600.
But I still have some questions...
I downloaded you zip and i think the "dupdate.img" is the image file to install, am i correct?
I found a little how to doc from Malaysk image and i think will getting it done.
you wrote:
-Once installed you need to root the image.
-Go into factory settings, and put in the code *#hct#root# you should get back the message "ADB ROOT"
--> Will there be a terminal or something like this, in the factory settings of the new image??
-Once ADB rooted, install KingoRoot
-Once rooted, go and install SuperSU from the play store but don't run it. Just install.
-After that, download and run SuperSu-Me v6.7 and let it run and reboot.
-After reboot, run super su and let it update the binary
-After that, download Flashfire app from play store
--> All fine here
-Press the + button in flashfire and choose ZIP option and flash xposed-v86-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-dsa-20160715.zip
-->Where can i find this zip? ---> Update: got it meanwhile.
-Unit restarts
-after restart, install xposed installer
--> New: Will this Installer be the by the exposed.zip?
-after installing xposed installer, find and download mtcservice-2.28.apk
--> Where i can find this...i googled it but sadly there where no clear hits
Update: I found the mtcservice-2.36D.apk, but as you said...its not the same as you mentioned.
-open mtcservice and select advanced options > serial number
-set a 12 digit serial number of your own choosing
-open xposed, choose modules , tick the checkbox for mtcservice
-reboot
-install TT go from APK
thanks for your help!!
I'm a little nervous about this...I will not kill my new toy

Hi
Will try to answer your question.
Yes. dupdated.img is the actual android image to flash. Do NOT flash the dmcu.img because you do not have a Joying branded unit. So ONLY flash dupdated.img
-> Will there be a terminal or something like this, in the factory settings of the new image??
No. There's no terminal to use (if you really want you could install one) but doing the ADB root is done via the "factory" app.
When you start the factory app it asks you for a PIN code. This is where you type in *#hct#root# and press OK. No terminal needed.
>Where can i find this zip?
It's in the ZIP file I provided.
--> Where i can find this...i googled it but sadly there where no clear hits
Again, it's in the ZIP.
As long as your unit really is MTCD then you can't really brick it using my instructions.
If at the worst you somehow totally screwed the unit, you would just flash it again using the same or another image.
Usually you can also just choose the "wipe /data" option in the recovery menu and you will be back to having a fresh image installed etc.
There are lots of guides / tips etc on how to flash these units on the XDA developers forum so you can just have a read but to be honest, you don't need to know anything about it before you do it. I didn't
Hey Lordnexu,
i think there was a little hickup at the zip download.
i downloaded it again...now i have all files!
I will do this update tomorrow and keep you informed!
Thanks for your support!

Sadly there is a problem with super-sume... it stucks in "Stage 6 cleanup"
I wait almost 30 minutes but sadly nothing happens...
do you have any ideas?
Breaking News.
I have no idea how...
but it works.
I simply skip the Super-Sume Cleaning, and do all the rest...
Now my TT is running perfectly, with one little issue....the navigation voice is very silent an i don't get it louder.
Again...Thanks for your support!
Or you could just run Malaysk's 5.1.1 for MTCD and make it easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...lopment/rom-malaysk-roms-mtcd-device-t3385309
Not sure why supersume stuck. It did take a while on mine and appear to freeze but eventually continued.
Did you do it on your stock ROM or on the ROM from my zip ? But I'm happy it now worked for you.
And yeah .. the Malaysk ROM ... well as I said in the original post... these ROMs were super buggy for me. Things like bluetooth not working properly, freezing up, slow, boot loops when enabling modules in Xposed... so I gave up after trying 5 different Malaysk ROMs.
If you look in the ROM threads for MTCD literally everyone says the stock ROMs are faster. If Malaysk ROM works for you then great, it didn't for me.
>If you look in the ROM threads for MTCD literally everyone says the stock ROMs are faster. If Malaysk ROM works for you then great, it didn't for me.
There was a rough patch there when Xposed was first being ported to 5.1.1, but it is all working now, and there are in fact several people making their own builds for MTCD 5.1.1 ROMs now which are fast and stable and much more streamlined than any stock roms now.
We have even developed a tool that you can use to build your OWN rom and chose what options you want in it for MTCD.
You might want to check them out again.
Ok, I made all installation step by step but TT GO still get no connection. I use an 1024x600 MTCD headunit with the small da_anton beta3 rom (already rooted) and all is looking fine, even the 12 digit serial number.
I tried some different GO versions but everytime I get the "can't establish connection" message back. Any ideas ? What apk have been used ?
The id changing did not work for me.
Only xprivacy, a xposed framework modul, did it..
At start of tomtom some pop ups appears.
Allow all, block only identity.
Good luck.
Getapped and getalked with 6603
ok, thanks, will try this later.
I also tried the Xposed ID changer were you "could" change the serial, but no luck at all.

Hello .... I'm finding whatever OS I'm trying becoming unstable to use . So, I'm asking if there is any OS that is actually stable enough to use . I don't care whether it's an old version or what . I'm not using the tablet for games, just something I can browser the internet with . TIA
The one that has given me the fewest issues is https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712680 [ROM] [4.4.4] [CyanogenMod 11 by Jcsullins] [DM] [06/12/15]
everything works extremely well except the DSP manager when adjusting audio settings for the built in speakers where changes beyond the defaults do not have any effect on the audio.
Sadly many of the links are dead for things like gapps.
The ROM I use is cm-11-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip
The gapps I use is: gapps-444-base-20160802-1-signed.zip
If needed, I can upload the gapps that I use though I am unsure if the forum has any rules surrounding it if I were to upload them to something like dropbox.
I try the others from time to time (easier for me since I really only use BSplayer and chrome in order to watch videos in a hover window while surfing the web (occasionally using my Bluetooth speakers or headphones).
Anyway, the main reason why I keep coming back to it, is the memory management. For many newer ROMs, you have issues such as the google calendar widget not working,or chrome not working properly, or when it is working, frequeny memory issues, especially if you want to upload an image to a site where it switches to the gallery app. by the time you select an image, it would fail to attach it because it will complain that the previous action could not be completed due to low memory.
With android 4.4, I do not have that issue. I don't know why it keeps happening for me since there are times when there will be over 100MB of free RAM, and chrome will still fail to do things with that error message.
Beyond that, the home screen under android 7.1.1 does not hold as many icons or widgets, even if you set the screen size to small, or adjust the dpi to 120. the home screen holds fewer icons and fewer widgets.
Overall, while it si great that newer versions of android are being supported, I feel that from a hardware standpoint then tablet has reached its limit with android 4.4
While there is also an evervolve version of android 4.4, for some reason it does not perform as well, even with more kernel features such as being able to overclock past 1.78GHz. it takes longer to boot, and some widgets do not work, along with issues with chrome.

Yes it has, but you need to download the nightly from their website. The XDA thread has an older version.

Ok, great news there crazyates. I installed evervolv from the YouTube guide, Do you know whether it still will work with those methods in the guide just as long I replace it with
ev_tenderloin-7.1.1-nightly-2017.03.03.zip and I believe you are using gapps-511-base-20161007-1-signed.zip , yes ? Thanks

I'm not sure about the Youtube instructions, and I followed the written instructions on the forums.
Also, IIRC, if you're using a 7.1.1 ROM, you can't use a 5.1.1 Gapps. I would recommend downloading the newest 7.1.1 Gapps.
Here are the instructions I followed:
AlwaysLucky said:
If you end up having to start from scratch in TP Toolbox v0.42, follow these steps:
- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible ROM
- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible GApps
- Download a TP Toolbox Compatible TWRP
1. In the TP Toolbox v0.42 main menu, do a 'Complete Data Reset' to start from scratch
2. Select the 'Install Android' option from the main menu
3. Copy the 3 above files to the install folder after the TP is mounted
4. When given the option to adjust partition sizes, increase the System partition to at least 1312mb
5. Finish install, and reboot to TWRP
6. While in TWRP, flash the 9/6/16 TWRP 3.0.2.0 or the smaller 9/11/16 TWRP 3.0.2.0
7. Reboot into the new TWRP that you just flashed
8. In TWRP advanced wipe menu, wipe the System partition
9. While still in TWRP, flash the ROM from the OP along with some OpenGapps
10. Worship @jcsullins and @flintman, as they are your gods.

Here are the changes/differences I made/noticed:
crazyates said:
Step 3: While you're copying the older ROM/Gapps/TWRP into the "ttinstall" folder, I also copied everything you need for the new install into an "evervolv" folder. This way you can copy everything at once, and formatting a volume in TWRP doesn't destroy your install files.
Step 4: I have a 32GB TP, and don't use hardly any of it, so I increased the System to ~2GB, and the Cache to ~1GB. I figured going on the big side couldn't hurt.
Step 6: There's a newer version of Flintmans TWRP, 3.0.3.0(12/22/16).
Step 8: After you wipe the System, reformat the Data and Cache volumes as F2FS. Because your install files are on the External_SD instead of the Data, you can do this without recopying your install zips back again. I installed the system twice, once with Ext4 and once with F2FS. It feels snappier, and runs a lot better with F2FS.
Step 9: I used the Nightly build for the ROM, which is working great. Then the newest Gapps. Then I also flashed the SKZ overclock kernel at the same time.
Few other notes: Changing the Governor to LionHeart and Scheduler to Tripndroid made a noticeable difference for me. Also, because this doesn't have a lot of RAM, I gotta be careful with what I install, and how much I try to use it. Do NOT install Chrome from the app store. It will eat every bit of RAM available, and slow the whole thing down. I also use Greenify (with root permissions) to hibernate any app I can so it saves a lot of RAM that was as well. I'm using ~329MB (40%) for the system, with ~500MB (60%) available for apps.

@crazyates Did you try Evervolv 7.1 nightlies? I'm curious to read your experience feedback because I'm on it and getting tired of always having a non-responsive tablet. I might go back to 4.4 as I'll go mad otherwise.

I am running the 7.1.1 nightlies. I haven't had any problems, and it's running very smooth. I'll randomly update it to the newest nightly, and haven't noticed any issues.
I do remember the time I first installed Evervolv 6.0 nightly last year. I installed it, and the touchscreen didn't work. At all. Looked into it, and it was a problem with that specific nightly build, so I went and reflashed everything with the one from the day before, and it worked great.
Anyways, all that to say it's working great, but it's still a nightly, so sometimes things go wonky.
I am still running a really old ICS build, and I noticed i can't update all my apps no more... what is the best Android version to run on the TP. Bluetooth is a must, but Camera isn't. Heard good things about 4.4.4 and 7.1.1, which one would you guys say runns smoother?

Can't say much for 4.4.4, but I'm using 7.1.1 and it's great!
The only argument I could see making for 4.4.4 is if it runs a bit lighter than 7.1.1. These only have 1GB of RAM, so if 4.4.4 is capable of using less RAM for the android system, that means more RAM for apps. On the flip side, 7.1.1 uses such things as zRAM and KSM for better memory management, so it may be a wash.

yeah, this is what I want to figure out. The developments in the Android codebase were quite extensive between these two releases, and the huge influx of budget phones in some markets (like mine for example) lead me to believe memory management would have been a key point in developing versions after 4.4.4. I'll give 7.1.1 a whirl and see how it goes.

I'm using TPToolbox v42 2015-01-08). So I wonder how you can figure out which versions fit together, I can remember this nagged me last time until I found a combination that worked...

I tried to follow your instructions, but I get error messages like:
Error: unrecognized/unsopported zip 'FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-f2fs-3.0.3.0-1-23-17.zip'
Error: Incompatible GAPPS/ROM versions None/7.0

Was that error message from TP Toolbox, or from TWRP? TP Toolbox won't recognize the newer TWRP images, nor will it recognize any 7.1 ROM/Gapps, so you need to use an older version to get things started. Once the older TWRP is installed, then you can use it to update to a newer version.
All in all, I had 8 ZIP files on my HP Touchpad to get a complete 7.1.1 install, but you can do it with as few as 6:
OLD ROM: CM 12.1
OLD Gapps: 5.1
OLD TWRP: 2.8.3.0
NEW ROM: Evervolv Nightly
NEW Gapps: 7.1
NEW TWRP: 3.0.3.0 F2FS
SKZ Kernel (Optional)
SuperSU (Optional)
Thank you! I installed the latest nightly, and it works fine so far.
The only thing I noticed that some apps now are blocking the device. This was also the case with the Android 4.4 Pac-Rom I used before. So it seems that some apps are using recources that aren't working well on the Touchpad at all, or that there is a general problem in several CM-versions.
For example the current version of Google Maps is so slow, you won't use it. I installend an older version (7.7.0), and this one works very fine. Also the new version of Maps lost the WiFi connection, which didn't cause any problem with the older version. So I wonder if there is some kind of incompatibility.
Another example: Fake GPS Location is much quicker than GPS-Emulator which also got stuck from time to time. Also the current Amazon App store was slooow.
Summary: Android 7.x runs fine so far, but you have to make sure that you get rid of the apps which block the device for some reason.
7.x is very slow some times.

When you say "blocking" you mean very slow? Since I uptaded from 4.4 to 7.x I've noticed that lots of apps are very slow. Some freezes for seconds and returns only when I block the device and turn on again. I dont know if its only on mine or its normal because of the old hardware. Is there any version that run real smooth? Or other system?

Yes I mean very slow. Often so slow that it takes a minute until you can change to another app.
The Problem also existed on my 4.4 Pac Rom, so I guess it's rather caused by new apps who might expect some feature, like multicore, etc. Or it is some fault, that already existed in older custom roms. Not sure. However, I can recommend downgrading apps in this case, older versions often work like normal.

It doesn't work for me ... I'm having issues . First off I like to ask why he didn't use the latest Rom ? And the part with go to the PC Mounted Touchpad internal drive for the TWRP ? When I open the TWRP folder I don't see twrps file, why not ? There nothing in this folder, its empty . What I done was just placed those zip files in the TWRP folder . Afterwards once I do the final reboot to Evervolv it will just show those Evervolv lights flashing like its trying to load up but it doesn't, it just keeps continuously trying to load but it never does
Hi everyone:
I'm an ex IT tech. but don't know that much about smartphone tech. I say that because I'll follow along quickly if people can use metaphors that relate back to PCs. I've used Linux a bit but am not a Linux expert.
I have a Droid 4 with Jelly Bean on it. I'd like to upgrade it to whatever is the most stable later custom version of Android. Do people recommend CyanogenMod 12? Some LineageOS version? Stability and having everything work as much as possible is what's most important to me. Speed would be a bonus, but it not as important as stability/functionality.
I've done the following to prepare for this:
-Taken a screenshot and put it on my PC to keep track of which version of Android I have.
-Downloaded SafeStrap 3.75, but don't know if I have the right version for this phone. Somewhere I saw something about
a special version for the Droid 4.
-I'm not sure which gapps version to download. Will later versions have more apps but be more likely to
have compatibility issues with an older version of Android?
-I know how to get into developer mode
-I know how to get into Fastboot mode
Any help would be appreciated.

see the index for correct safestrap version, 3.75 is latest, but you need the Droid 4 one

GApps are android version specific, opengapps.org are good
I haven't used the Droid 4 much since cm11, it's likely still a good option

Thanks, however I was looking for something a little more newibe-friendly. There are literally dozens and dozens of pages to read. On top of that, the link to the SafeStrap is dead, and there are circular links, all of which appear to go that dead link. As well, the page to download the patch to enable the GSM on CDMA Global phones also has dead links.
Nothing simpler?

The link for safe strap is not dead there are two versions. One from stargo and the other is a modified safe strap for unused partitions redone by some one else. You need to look in the correct posts and thread. Here is the download: http://www.internauta37.altervista....afestrap-maserati-v3.75-unused-partitions.apk
As far as for gsm keep looking you'll probully find something. I can't help you with that because I never needed to use but it shouldn't be to hard to do or figure out.
As far as wich rom you want to use just try a few different ones and see wich one you prefer to use as a daily driver.

Hi Shplad,
It all seems a bit overwhelming at first, but there isn't that much to it really. So, if you've got some IT experience, I'm sure you'll be fine. I always use the latest version (out of curiosity), but from what I've read, CM11 is considered pretty stable, but 12 and 13 are good too. And you'll probably find you don't need the GSM patch as it'll just work automatically - I think it was required in CM12 at one point, but that might be fixed now.
You haven't mentioned rooting. If you haven't already done that, you may as well get that done first, and it's covered in the pages that sd_shadow linked to. And I had a quick look at the links to safestrap in the pages that sd_shadow linked to, and they all seemed ok to me (as OGdroidster has just said also). You just need to make sure you've got the one with 'maserati' in the filename.
So, (from memory - could be wrong), you just need to:
- root the phone
- download your chosen rom and gapps
- install safestrap
- in safestrap install file system then boot into recovery mode
- create yourself a slot in the boot options
- make sure your new slot is the active one (it tells you at the top)
- install your chosen rom and gapps in the install section
- reboot
And if you get stuck, you could just ask, and I'm sure someone will answer pretty quickly.
Good luck
So, which versions of Android are CM11 and CM12? Can anyone else chime in and let me know if CM12 is better or more stable than CM11?
It turns out I could not download the Safestrap because my firewall was blocking some advertising/metric site which was required to go that page. Got it now.
Not sure what the GSM code you refer to is for. Will the upgraded phone with CMxx not work by default on GSM networks, or is something different?
Thanks

CM11 is KitKat (4.4), CM12 is Lollipop (5), CM13 is Marshmallow (6) and CM14 is Nougat (7).
I was referring to the GSM patch (that you queried above). What I was saying, was that in most versions of CM, GSM automatically works, so you won't need to apply the patch. But if you did have a problem, the links seem to work fine to me.
If I was you, I'd try out a few versions and find which version you prefer, as I don't think anyone will be able to tell you which is 'best'. I would have thought you'd be fine with 11, 12 or 13 though, and because you can have multiple roms installed with safestrap, you could install all 3 if you wanted!
Thanks. I guess I wasn't aware that you could use any CM. I thought only 11 or 12 could work properly on a Droid 4. So, any of those ROMs might work?
Also, at what stage do you install the GSM patch if it is necessary?

As far as I understand it (which could be totally wrong), 11 and 12 are no longer being developed and will only receive security updates, so from that point of view, I guess they will be more stable. But 13 and 14 will work, but there may be the odd issue here and there (particularly with 14 which is still quite new). You'd have to have a quick scan through the comments to see if there's anything that's like to be a problem for you.
With reagrds to GSM, I should just try it and see if it works to begin with. If it doesn't, then download the patch, reboot, go into safestrap, install the zip then reboot.
Hi,
If you are going to use a ROM with ART (Lollipop CM12x and above) Do not use CM12. It is old, outdated, and laggy. CM13 (LineageOS 13) provides a superior experience. Once LOS 14.1 becomes official for our devices, I would highly recommend upgrading to it, as it provides superior memory management.

Wow, this is a lot to take in. Thanks. So, I don't quite understand the repercussions. Once I root, does that mean any ROM OS that boots is somewhat more vulnerable, cause it's like being logged on as root in Linux, or does it depend which ROM I'm using or something else?

Okay, I figured out after my last post that root status depends on which ROM you are running, and of course installing a ROM without root status would put you back to unrooted status.
I downloaded Lineage OS 13 and verified the MD5SUM. I rooted the phone using Shadow's video.
Now I want to make an image of my NAND or have some other method of restoring the stock ROM before I install a new ROM. At what stage in the process do I do that and what is the safest tool / method to do that? RSDLite? Adding another ROM slot and using Nandroid backup?
Awaiting anxiously...
Alright, I learned from Googling that RSDLite can restore a ROM to the phone directly from your PC.
Does that wipe out any upgraded, more modern ROMS that I put on the phone, such as Lineage OS 13? Is it like having multiple partitions or hard drives on a PC?
How safe is the RSDLite procedure? Can someone explain the pros/cons of doing it that way versus (as I understand it) having 2 ROMs on the NAND available? I see a lot of HOWTOs, but very few explanations/diagrams/theory. If I could relate this back to PCs, I'd be able to understand better.

As far as I understand it, and again, this could be wrong, using RSDLite is usually a last resort in the unlikely event that you've completely messed up your phone. You will lose everything, and your phone will back to how it was when you bought it. I've never needed to use RSDLite myself, but from what I've read, it's a pretty reliable way to get your phone working again. As long as you follow all the instructions, and install CM (LOS) 13 into another slot, it's very unlikely that you'll damage your original stock rom and you'll still be able to boot into if ever you need to. Hopefully, someone who knows more about it will comment also...
I got Safestrap 3.75 special version for unused partitions installed. I didn't realize it allows you to make TWRP ROM backups.
I made a backup of the stock ROM. The first time I did that, I got an error stating it couldn't find or access /boot.
Strangely, the second time I tried, it seemed to work fine.
I copied the folder with the stock ROM backup to my PC, just in case. I managed to flash with Lineage OS 13. It booted fine, but I forgot to select the Gapps zip as well. It does not appear to be rooted after bootup.
1. Do I need to reinstall Lineage 13 or is there way to install the apps without reinstalling Lineage?
2. What is the normal state of this ROM? I'm not sure if I have to root Lineage 13. If I don't enable root, will I be unable to run TWRP recovery and add the Gapps zip file and reinstall? I don't want to be stuck with a successful Lineage install and no apps. I'd find another way to install the apps, but I'm guessing you can't without the apps themselves, no?
Help!
Okay, I figured out how to install just gapps 5.1-2015-05-23-24 . However, during configuration, I cannot get the phone to connect to gmail via WiFi (I don't have a data plan).
"Validating Server Settings...
Couldn't open connection to server."
I see other people had this in other version of Android. Is this a particular problem in Lineage 13? Any solutions known?
...AAAANDDD Google Play Services has closed.
Hmm...this does not seem very stable at all. Has anyone actually tried Lineage 13 on this phone or was it just a guess that it might work?
EDIT:
I tried these suggestions, just in case.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/ACSvDiQoufI
Now, I'm getting the error:

Google Play Services keeps closing. Should I uninstall the gapps and install a more compatible one? I think network connectivity is not stable.

Hi. I don't use gapps, and I'm uisng LOS 14 myself. But there's 57 pages of comments for LOS 13, so I think it's fair to say people have tried it! Now you've got it installed, you could post in the LOS 13 thread, and ask people which version of gapps they are using.
P.S. The first post in the Droid 4 LOS 13 thread appears to suggest using OpenGApps and has some details on how to install, or you could read through that thread for other tips.

I meant on this website. In the 'Droid 4 Android Development' section (https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-4/development), there a thread for each of the roms. The one for CM (LOS) 13 is https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-4/development/cm13-0-marshmallow-unofficial-builds-t3270938

Thanks for that. I didn't post there earlier because I thought it was only for developer reports of bugs, and my coding skills are exactly zero. Should I wait to see what happens in that other thread and not post back here until I hear something from there?
Hello everyone. I am opening this thread for the sake of convenience of us users of this ROM so that we stop hijacking the Oreo version thread and have a "clean" place where we can discuss about our experience with this great ROM. So I suggest anything regarding this ROM to be posted here!
You can find the official builds here: https://get.resurrectionremix.com/?dir=hammerhead
DISCLAIMER: I am by no means a developer or maintainer of this ROM, so this cannot be considered an official support thread, just conversation, plain and simple! Moderators can close this thread as soon as an official support thread opens.
Cheers!
I just installed the rom,came from stock. My first impressions are:
-It took 2 reboots to get the camera working. Installed google camera app since the integrated one doesnt show up on app drawer(you can access it from lockscreen though) and it seems to work kinda bad(picture goes black on it sometimes).
-It runs a bit hotter than stock rom. It might be just me though,I have opened the phone a few times to fix the power button which seems to get stuck for me once in a while.
-The default DPI doesn't seem right,everything looks a little bit smaller than it does on stock rom. There is an option to change it though, I set mine to 380 and it looks about right.
I haven't found any other issues yet.
Another note,I think the rom fixed my notification led lol. It didn't work for me on stock rom for some reason.
Pretty good rom overall,I haven't faced any stability issues yet.
edit: Is there any way to lower the resolution?
I upgraded from RR's Oreo build. Before flashing I repartitioned the phone using the method described here and the even more detailed instructions posted by douguluskaien on page 12 of that thread. The flash went very smoothly and although the phone initially ran hot it cooled back to normal after a few hours of what was probably background processing. With the 1.5G system partition I was able to install the micro version of GAPPS. I've had that experience after flashing new ROMs on other phones as well. I also discovered the bundled camera doesn't work and installed Google Camera. After starting up Google Camera, the original camera worked also. I tried connecting bluetooth headphones, and even though I could pair the headset I couldn't get the phone to send audio - it just kept playing through the phone speaker. I also found the default font size a little small, but changing it to Large in the Font Size menu got it back to what seems like normal.
I have one major issue which I realize is not directly related to the ROM. A custom version of TWRP is required to support the non-standard partitions, and that version is based on TWRP 3.2.3 and doesn't support device encryption. Does anyone know if an updated TWRP will be available that will allow me to encrypt the phone and still do recovery-related stuff?
In summary, this is impressively well along for a build that's only been live for a couple of weeks. This isn't my daily driver so I don't need absolute stability, so this is plenty for me for now. I just won't leave the house with it until I can encrypt.
I've been using this ROM for about a month now as a daily driver, so here's my feedback:
ROM is very nice and smooth and feature rich (as expected for RR). I installed it with Opengapps nano, rooted with Magisk. It works very well with the Pixel launcher I grabbed from here.
Some drawbacks I noticed:
Battery life is rather bad. I get 1h30m SOT at best with very mild usage (mostly site browsing and a little bit of social apps and YT video watching) . Then again I am still using the 5yr old battery that came with the phone...
The phone runs very hot (too hot to hold!) after using it for some time. It cools down rather fast if you let it be for a while, though.
Sometimes the camera is crashing (the notorious "can't connect to camera" error). usually a reboot fixes this.
Sometimes it takes a while for the device to wake up after pressing the power button.
I got some soft reboots under device heavy load. Mostly I get them when using the Rocket player music app, and it tries to load a large music folder. Phone freezes, then soft reboots.
SElinux is set to permissive and the build is signed with test keys. Maybe the first thing is caused by the latter, I don't know really....
Overall, it is a good ROM with room for improvement. However, I am concerned about its maintenance status. No update since May 14, so I keep my fingers crossed.

I didn't flash this build so I don't know if it works or not. I have switched to a different ROM. However, could you elaborate? Do you come from another ROM? Did you dirty flash? Is your device repartitioned? Usually error 7 in TWRP means there's not enough system space...

2-How can I downgrade to previous build?

As I state at the first post, I am not a developer, neither I have any involvement in this project and the people behind it. So I can't provide any support apart from my experience as a user.
I didn't flash this build so I don't know if it works or not. I have switched to a different ROM. However, could you elaborate? Do you come from another ROM? Did you dirty flash? Is your device repartitioned? Usually error 7 in TWRP means there's not enough system space...
I do not see any changelog file on the download page. Unfortunately with no official support thread, there are no official answers as well...

Thanks for the idea, I had just repartitioned, so I had format my entire phone, (before that i had taken the backup ), and I had successfully installed the rom, I got an strange issue of WIFI connectivity, as I am not able to connect to my wifi which is having Hidden SSID, but i am successfully connected with the hotspot from my another primary phone. i haven't tested the bluetooth yet.
I dirty flashed the new build this morning. Haven't tried bluetooth or camera yet, but Wifi is working fine. As usual, the phone heated up for about a half hour after the flash and then the temp dropped and stabilized. Battery life is not great, like the May build, and there is often a long delay responding to the power button, especially shortly after power-up, but the build seems pretty solid.
Casting isn't finding anything to cast to in the most recent build. Camera worked fine.
New build available (Aug 4) as seen at ROM's dl page.
Bluetooth pairing now working for me on last release
Hi installed this ROM in clean maner but i got intermitent issue with sim card. Not sure if it is only sim issue or reboot but phone ask my pin code.
Looks like @voidz777 is the maintainer for RR Pie as well:

okay so to fix this you will have to repartition your system.
This thread will help you. https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...ment/repartition-nexus-5-repartition-t3844395
Repartitioning is the fix to error 70 while flashing gapps as well as error 7.
New build (Sep 16) available! Link in OP.

Thank you for the tip, I followed the thread and was able to install RR 7 without any trouble. This might not be the right place to ask, but would you have any info on how to install SuperSU on RR 7, or is there perhaps another root method that we must use? Thanks in advance, I can't seem to find information on it anywhere and rather than continuing to bang my head against the wall I thought I'd ask.
