Root [BETA][5.1.1] Dirty Unicorns

[spock1104]

Awesome, thank you! I had a pending update that I didn't release due to this. Fixed the hardware keys at least. I'll post it later.

 

[spock1104]

Fresh off the compiler, haven't tested yet. Will update OP once it's known to be good.

Flashed and booted fine.
But... Camera is not working, and I've had several random reboots, and no sound in calls

Yah it seems to work a lil better bit I can't make calls either, texts work fine, 4G worked fine didn't try camera cuz after trying numerous times to make calls with no luck, & not Beijing able to download anything from the PlayStore I gave up and flashed back to CandyRom. I look forward to trying DU again!!! Thanx & keep up the good work!

I'll have to look into this more but if I had to guess it's because dirty unicorns separates their standard packages and caf, where in cyanogenmod they are all together letting you easily mix and match. If that is the cause I'll either have to either replace some repos manually or create a pure caf kernel.

I had these same issues with my build of SlimROM, as well as some volume key issues. For the camera, there's a specific file from the stock LG kernel you have to add to your source to get it to (semi) work.

Have any more specifics? It'd be great to get this documented.

 

[spock1104]

For the heck of it I'm going to switch the kernel to https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_kernel_lge_msm8226 and see what happens.

 

[spock1104]

I'm almost there, been having some trouble with the dt.img. I finally got it to assemble overnight, now trying to get the ROM build process to do it the same way. My first attempt... not so successful. I ended up in fastboot.

I'll give it a shot again when its ready!

How did you get past the dt img error, getting it also when trying to build Marshmallow.

I had to change msm8226-x5.dts so that it pointed at msm8926-v2-lge.dtsi instead of msm8926-lge.dtsi

Unfortunately I'm still getting dumped into fastboot and if I use fastboot continue it says it can't find a valid device tree. I think I'm going to need some help getting this over the finish line.

[spock1104]

Here's the test build. DO NOT use this unless you're trying to help with the boot issue. It goes straight to fastboot.

After getting to fastboot I can get back to normal by fastbooting the twrp image and restoring my backup

Heh bad advice, use the -v1 instead of the -v2!!! That caused the fastboot issue.

IT BOOTS

... but it doesn't stay running yet, touchscreen is suspect

 

[spock1104]

Well you know, I dumped the firmware from the LG stock lollipop kernel but I didn't update the makefile.

 

[spock1104]

Fun facts: LG messed up the makefile in the latest release and Quarx2k's workaround doesn't seem compatible with building the kernel within the ROM build process. I bypassed it for now, but I'll have to find a solution, which very well might be use the Makefile from the kitkat kernel.

My builds take a few hours, so now I wait...

 

[spock1104]

test build! http://www.mediafire.com/download/5brch6cp7xbj5xi/DU_x5_5.1.1_20151104-0146.v9.7-DIRTY-DEEDS.zip

on the plus side, no more lift-to-wake issues. on the minus side, the phone reboots every time the screen is powered off.

Is this dead? I love DU but I need a fully functional phone. Thanks for your work.

 

[spock1104]

I haven't had much time to dev lately, so yes, at least temporarily dead.
