[Android 5.0] Straight from source ROM

Hey guys,
So here is a straight from source build of Android L, 5.0. I have not done anything beside build it from source and flash it. I have not done extensive testing on it.
So anyways, here is the link:
http://d-h.st/zi0
I have not included gapps or anything else. They will be coming soon. This build is primarily to play around with. I would not consider this a daily driver.
Issues:
Probably a ton, seeing as I have only checked if it boots.
I am not responsible for any issues this may cause or anything else that may happen to your tablet as a result of this.
I also have a ton of schoolwork and other things that keep popping up, so my support may be iffy. Please bear with me or go back to 4.4.4.
Here is a screenshot for proof:

Future Plans for this Rom:
GApps are not yet possible on Lollipop as far as I can work out, due to the fact that baksmali and smali do not appear to play nicely with ART odex files. I will be rebuild the rom to be odexed and then including a gapps package.

Hmm..let me know if you still have issues, because I was able to sideload on my device

Awesome!!
When first booted you need to erase it because it is encrypted. But after that it works (for now) like a charm. Wifi working, sound working.
The only problem so far is that after I installed the Play Store it didn't want to open but the Amazon app store works fine.

I am missing alot of the google stuff, which is probably why none of that works
That will come shortly, I just need to redo a lot of my vendor files and such to get gapps to be built in.

It worked even though it said no OS
first boot takes awhile but it works!

Confirmed it works.
Sideloading gapps for cyanogenmod 11 and hoping they auto update does not work. Worth a shot though. Time to reflash.

Woah, thanks a lot
Btw, how do I sideload gapps? (especially play store)
Since I think it won't be just installing apk, isn't it?

Working great! I think performance is even better than kitkat
Wi-Fi also working (maybe bluetooth, nfc and gps too)

Flashing GApps is the solution. Sadly, there isn't a package for Lollipop GApps yet.

I am currently working on the gapps, right now i have fixed my own build process and am getting a nexus 9 dump to try and fix it up.

Yay!

Works great, now waiting for gapps
thanks

Gapps mostly work fine if you edit updater.script
I've only had issue with the keyboard crashing so I'd suggest removing it from the gapps package before flashing.

Woah
I can't wait for the final version, this one, using 4.4.4 binaries, is crazy smooth. Google outdid theirselves on the optimization department.

Awesome work, think im gonna givebthis a try atbwork tomorrow.

What does work and what doesn't

So far, everything seems to be working. Have to check camera yet though.

I cant seem to get much else to go with it, but I will share my findings.
I can get TWRP to install,but then I get a bootloop.
If you use the Nexus Root Toolkit v 1.9.3 and "Root" with custom recovery checked. It freezes after trying to temporarily boot the modified boot image.
Hard reset the tablet and boot normally. The toolkit should reboot your tablet back into the bootloader and into TWRP, but this is only good for one boot.
If you mount /system and run a fix permissions, then it stays installed, but never gets past the boot screen.
It boots far enough to get into ADB.
Not sure what to try next though...
I was thinking if we could get a flashable zip without the stock recovery, then we may be able to keep TWRP, but I am not familiarwith building the flashable zips.

Wait, So how do you flash the google play services after you lose TWRP?! I don't understand..

Can't root new Mi4. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I have tried XiaomiTool, which resulted in a brick.
I had to factory reset from the recovery, then it turned on, which resulted in all GApps disappearing. Got a 550mb OTA which brought them back.
I read that i can root by using Developer rom, but that is only available in the chinese version.
There is no global developer rom. Please show me how to root this phone, i already bricked it once on the first day.
Android 4.4.4
MIUI 6.5.3.0 Stable.

Xiaomi.eu's ROMs have Google Apps and root. 5.7.2 is perfect, haven't tested latest yet.

Which one should I Download?
There are so many links, none of which seem right for the Mi4.
And it says in the post that they are without root?

Thanks a ton. I am used to a nexus 4 so all this seems new to me.
Is there a guide to flash this? I wouldn't mind wiping data this one time.
What method Should i use to Update, by keeping data?
Thanks again.
PS isnt there something like this based on the global version?
What is the difference between this and the one from the MIUI website Chinese developer rom?

Easiest way is from MIUI Updater app, "..." from up right, choose update package... Can try dirty flash first, If there is problems/apps fc do factory reset.

And what about the difference between Chinese MIUI Developer official and xiaomi.eu roms?
Thanks.

Xiaomi.eu weekly roms are based on those chinese developer versions so dirty flash might work. They disable chinese only apps and features and add languages.

I have installed it and it is working great.
One major problem, Everytime i install an APK, it asks me to grant permission, and only lets me allow it once after waiting 10 seconds.
There is no Allow Unknown Sources Checkbox.
Please help, it is very annoying as i have so many APKs to install on the new phone.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the setting.
Thanks a lot for your Help.

Hi again,have you tried the latest rom?
Nothing happens if i just install it, but after i restore about 50 apps, it starts rebooting. Every 2-3 minutes.
Not sure What to do.
Have tried a factory reset.

No i am still with 5.7.2, no hurry to upgrade.
Restoring apps could cause problems sometimes, try clean install. (I open all favorite apps in Firefox and and bookmark them so i can use "Open All in Tabs" and install them easily for any device.)

How is your battery life on those roms?
I am getting horrible battery life with like 1% drain every minute even when I'm not using it.
And I keep getting "com.Google.gapps has stopped.
I've wiped everything, clean install.
Please help.

There was some problems in this weeks original, did you try 5.7.26 hotfix? (Im still at 5.7.2, that should be better with battery and Gapps are working.)

Do you recommend I Install 5.7.2 or the Latest Hotfix?

Haven't tried latest, but can confirm 5.7.2 is working fine so try that. Usually i upgrade only after couple people say it's working good on Mi4 in Xiaomi.eu MIUI Weekly ROM Releases forum.

Do I need to make a full wipe to downgrade or just flash with the updater app?

Do full wipe because com.Google.gapps has stopped problem.

[ROM] Mokee 5.1.1 STABLE (Daily Driver)

First Thing First : I'm not the developer of this ROM. Just Sharing "MY" experience
It's been a long time Mokee builds are available for Mi 4i. I've been using it since 2nd last build (more than 10 days) and currently on latest built i.e. 25th Jan 2016. And I can say that it's Stable.
What's Working :
Everything, except volume rocker keys on earphone.
Highlights:
DT2W
D2TS
Ambient Display
Not even a single FCs or Reboot since installation (more than 10 days now)
CoC is working fine
FB is working fine
More than 24 hours backup (With normal use, NO intensive gaming and ~4 hours SOT)
Installation Instruction (Which I followed, You can go with normal way):
1. Flash MIUI ROM 5.6.11 (I tried to install on 7.1.1, it keep on rebooting. Tried everything, but no luck)
2. Flash TWRP as permanent Recovery
3. Root using SuperSU
4. Wipe everything (but ROM & Gapps Folders)
5. Flash ROM
6. Reboot to System (No need to set-up anything, just do next next)
7. Go to Recovery, Flash Gapps
8. Reboot to system (Again no need to set-up anything, just do next next)
9. Factory Reset (From settings, NOT from recovery)
10. Set-up now
11. Enjoy and All the Best
I know it's painful the way I set-up ROM, but yes I'm not facing any problem at all (Fingers-crossed ). We three colleagues are using it. So it's tested now (you can say)
I've only one phone and I'm using it as a daily driver.
Downloads:
ROM
Gapps : pico version

Enjoy the New ROM guys

You are very much correct my friend, but again it's a very good alternative for :
1. Those who don't wanna be on MIUI.
2. Struggling to find a CM daily driver.
//TM

good to know. I couldn't take the constant reboot from Remix ROM. Just installed Mokee yesterday. So far so good. Keep my fingers crossed.

getting very high wakelock on *alarms* on any mokee rom

Yeah this is the most stable custom rom for mi4i ...
- official
- update OTA almost every week ..

Can anyone verify if fast dormancy is present in the rom? either through wakelocks or logcat(it should say fast dormancy service or otherwise)

Is ambient display working on this rom?

Hey I am not able to do it. I tried it several times, but every time it says that ERROR IN UPDATER BINARY ZIP.......I am not able to flash it. Help me.

[Completed] CM13 nightly - impossible to get playstore installed on Galaxy S5 klte

Hello from Regensburg, Germany. Please help! I am still a greenhorn in the field and HERE IS THE PROBLEM: I tried to install the latest CM 13 nightly on the Samsung Galaxy S5 klte. I must have tried 7 or 8 different Gapps packages (mostly from Open Gapps) without success. Everything looks good until I reboot the system. Then I get constant popup messages telling me "unfortunately Google Playstore has stopped". This happens with ALL the gapps I have tried. Maybe it is not a Gapps problem but something else??? I am desperate because I have already spent hours and hours with this. Before that I had CM 12 snapshot installed and it worked really nicely. I always did all the wipes (System, Data, Cash, Dalvik) before flashing and tried again and again (ca. 15 times so far...). I have TWRP recovery installed.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist,
this was a problem in the last nightly. It should be fixed in the newest Nightly from today.
Kind regards

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I had actually tried again and again with two different nightlies, yesterday's and the day before yesterday's, without success. I will give it another try with today's (or tomorrow's) nightly. Do you happen to know when a CM13 stable release can be expected? Maybe I should just wait for that...

Hey,
no, I don't know when there will be a snapshot.
Todays nightly should be good.

Thanks again! Yesterday's nightly was fine and I was finally able to install CM 13. Do you suggest to always update nightlies or rather stay with one that seems to work?

It's OK, if you update every month.
But you can update weekly or daily too

Try a different GAPPS package, maybe a larger one. Just to see. For one, some people complained of missing features like notification bar pulldown with the very smallest GAPPS package. Now this isn't a reason it shouldn't install, but try a different package to see if it make a difference in completing the installation.

Same thing here, using a 2014811 (Wt88047, Redmi 2 WCDMA).
Tried ""nightly" 20160512, 20160517 and 20160519. Did the usual Wipes, tried also with no wifi and no SIM card.
Nothing seems to help, I am stuck at "Just a Sec..."

First, restore your backup. You did make a backup, right?
Then re-flash after you download a different GAPPs package. Some say Open Gapps works great for them, while others say Slim GAPPS is best. We don't know why some don't work for some people but work for others.
If that doesn't fix your issue, then try this:
Download the unofficial CM13 found here in this forum and try it.
Also, download Resurrection Remix (Marshmallow) and try it.
Both are variants of CM13 anyways. Just trying to see if something is wrong with your phone and you can't flash any ROM whatsoever or if it's something your phone doesn't like about official CM13.
The unofficial CM13 is CM13 with just a few of the Resurrection Remix tweaks thrown in, like permissions to download Moto apps from the Google Store, etc. It's 90% CM13, 10% RR.
If none of those CM13 variants work, you can alway try AOSP Mokee (Marshmallow).
IF NONE of those work, either your phone is severely messed up or you are doing something wrong.

Right. This one installed without any problems.
Still, I would like to be able to install the "official" one.
I wonder, what may be the bug in that keeps it "freezing" at the "Just a Sec..." message.

I don't know. Not everything with our phones is completely logical. Occasionally more of an art than science. Same reason one GAPPs package works well for someone but won't install for another person. Open GAPPS vs Slim Gapps.
Here's a personal example... My wife and I both have XT1225 with CM12.1 and yet hers can't run BHB27 kernel. Occasionally I'll get it to install, and run OK for a day or two but then next time I reboot it it does endless bootloops. I even tried different governors and I/O schedulers. Nada.
Mine is a Puerto Rico (unlocked Claro) XT1225 I flashed to India 5.0.2 before flashing to CM.
Her's is a Mexico direct-from-China-Motorola factory XT1225 I flashed to India 5.0.2 before flashing to CM.
Later I flashed Puerto Rico XT1225 radio over both.
There's just some difference there in her XT1225 which does not like BHB27 kernel.
Maybe if I did an exhaustive formatting of the entire internal memory and reinstallation of everything on her phone, it would work. But instead I take the easy way out and she's just running CM12.1 with default CM kernel, and that's running well. So, I go with what works.

I don't even think you are using this phone, to be honest. So, why did you post here? You posted same thing in another thread, for ANOTHER PHONE, not even related to Quark.
You seem to be using this phone: Xiaomi Redmi 2 -- since all your other posts before this and after this are over there.
