Efidroid? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Would there be any possibility of one porting over EFIDroid to the LG Nexus 5X? I saw it's already available on the LG G4 and it would be pretty cool to have it on this phone as well, as it seems like a better alternative to multi rom.
Thanks.

I supposed I could take a crack at this over the weekend... (;

Alright, so I took a look at it, successfully compiled the Little Kernel image, however, it doesn't boot yet. This is a known issue with many 64-bit devices (https://github.com/efidroid/projectmanagement/issues/89).
As soon as more information comes to light on this issue, I'll be sure to update you and hopefully we'll have EFIDroid running on our fantastic bullheads soon enough.
Cheers!

We've made some headway, take a look at this GitHub issue for specifics to the 5X.
We've gotten Little Kernel booting successfully with a bit of a hacky workaround, but if it fits it ships. Can't get the UEFI image to boot yet, though. It reboots back into system
Gonna keep working on this over the next few days.

any chance for NAND?

How for is the development for NAND for the Touch pro ? (thinking of buying one tomorrow)
Last time i checked it was no where near ready for end user. Its still being tested and better developed to make flashing easy as flashing a normal winmo rom.

why would you buy a touch pro when the tilt2/touch pro 2 is already out ?

I kind of agree with this statement, there are still a lot of little things to iron out...
With that said, the Vogue also still has some issues to iron out, and there's been a NAND available for that device for quite some time now.
At first I agreed that Android on the TP/Fuze was not anywhere near ready for a NAND. Battery life was a big issue, but with these newest builds I'm getting pretty good uptimes without being tied to a charger. Mind you it's not as good as WinMo, but you can't really expect that considering it's running the OS off of an SD card - which to me seems like another good reason to start building a NAND, Android would probably enjoy much better battery life if it was running natively.
So is something else holding it back? We can calibrate the screen, audio seems to be working fairly consistently... I mean GPS would be nice, but I don't think that feature alone would keep devs from building a NAND. Heck, they still don't have the camera sorted out for the Vogue (although they do have GPS and BT, BT audio doesn't work for them either!)
I'm definitely not trying to be a troll, I'm just curious as to what is preventing a NAND, because I don't think where the Android project is on this device would be so bad for the typical "end-user" we have on these forums.
However, if the issue is actually figuring out the best way to flash a NAND to the device, that's a completely different matter. I was under the impression that the project status was holding it back from being converted to a NAND.
So for what it's worth (I'm sure not much ) I feel Android is ready to be flashed onto our phones. I know I would flash it, I've been using it full-time now for a couple of weeks!

Agreed - the only things I 'expect' to work reliably before flashing to nand are calls and data. Everything after that is gravy.
And bt audio works on cupcake and donut for vogue, but not on eclair. And the vogue's camera is just crap, regardless of os.

These threads are about how USERS can put an NAND build on their phone..
Okay I'm going to tell you guys this just once.
First the developers have to get everything finished so that we don't need the few bits from WinMo we still do.
Then they can make a NAND build.
And BELIEVE me, they know how to do it. It just won't work at the current state of things.
And the XDAndroid team knows just as much about porting as the Vogue guys. The only difference is that we got more advanced phones and therefor it takes a LOT more time to make a port.
x2 right now the biggest thing is drivers. since there were never any drivers made for the touch pro/fuze for android, none exist.
since none exist, we must use winmo to initalize alot of the hardware that android uses.
once the drivers are sorted out (they are being worked on) and we don't need winmo to initalize everything for android, android can be moved to nand.

CM7 ported to LG optimus C :D

I DID IT!!!!!
I sat down for a few hours and tweaked CM7 to run on the C. EVERYTHING runs so far. You need to make no changes, just flash it.
If you have a recovery menu you know how to do it. Menu will be out very soon too.

No unfortunately it doesn't. Screenshots i'm working on (it saves them all in PNG which the site won't recognize).
An overclock kernel is being worked on, the base of this is the standard kernel. We do have one working but it's not ready for release yet.
So they will be up soon.
make sure he has the custom recovery menu. It won't flash properly without it. We worked a few days on that as well.

If you're using Shoot Me, you can set the prefs to save as jpg.
By custom recovery, do you mean the one in the stickied post or CWM?
Biggest thing is the speed of the default device, I'll keep an eye here and get serious when the OC kernel is ready.... I think I'll need a pretty compelling argument to get him to root. Thank you for all your hard work in this area.

Just curious since I didn't see any screenshots (he hasn't given me the nod yet, either) What kind of overclocks have you gotten and how is your battery life?
EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw it on the blog (read past it at first). 850 MHz? That's almost a 50% OC! The battery life at that speed question still remains. Also, don't see the FAQ link, or is it not up yet? Thanks a bundle. I've gotten fairly proficient with things on my Inspire, but the Optimus looks to be a slightly different monster.

JCASE demonstrated booting unsigned code from USB... so we dont NEED to unlock the bootloader although it would be nice.
What we really need is a custom recovery and a way to boot it.. perhaps JCASE will chime in now that the root is out..

May be we can write custom recovery using dd an then boot it?
I would think anyone that is willing to test unknown methods either has money to burn or a hardware flasher.
Just checked safestrap, no luck.
May be we can port loki. Platform looks similar for me, but offsets is different.

Thanks for answering Happy to hear that people are still trying this. I'm wondering, once Android TV is released, the hardware on this device seems to be pretty powerful and it might be a great experience, if we can figure out how to get it on there.
Good luck, rbox! And thx for the xposed mods
Just be aware that the first thing that will stop working with an unlocked bootloader will be Netflix HD. I don't have Prime so can't comment on that.
You will be limited to 720x480 resolution - 1750kbps.

I was able to find the best spot to do the 2nd init, and it seemed to be working, but unfortunately I'm having some problems getting TWRP to actually display even though I'm doing exactly the same thing I did with clockwork. Luckily it's a long weekend, so I should have some time to debug it.

I AM very happy with how well it is working though, especially as an xbmc/kodi box! Hope we can get the mic button working in kodi.

That's kind of ass-holish from them, TBH... our providers give you code after your contract for that device is over (usually after 2 years) after you request it. But still, had similar thing happening with work phone (provider didn't want to unlock it after contract, and later required 80€ fee) but just brought it to your neighbourhood mobile shop(tm) and guy cracked that lock with a box in like 5 minutes, for 1/10th of price provider requested.
I'm repairing this one, that board is 4$, and need to find a good battery and voila, great secondary phone, not some crappy Lenovo.

It Seems That OOS 11 Beta is Delayed Due to Finally Having to Fix The OP7T Decryption Error

As per a statement posted on XDA, the OnePlus Nord OOS11 beta should be coming sometime this week, though the builds for the 7 series are still delayed as OnePlus is finally confronting the dreaded decryption issue that has plagued the series since its inception. This means, that, likely after Android 11 is released for our devices, that we should be able to have a fully functional TWRP along with more custom ROM development on the way. This is very good news for the tinkering community. Hope more is to come in the near future.
I mean, we can hope, but at this point, I am afraid it's still just wishful thinking.

Well, seeing as it's the very reason for the delay, it wouldn't make sense for OnePlus to announce that they were delaying the beta to fix the encryption issue just for them to not fix it. If that were the case, they would just not say it, you know?
You're a couple days late;
And;
>This means, that, likely after Android 11 is released for our devices, that we should be able to have a fully functional TWRP
except decryption that is, blobs are the same so I am not confident TWRP will be able to decrypt on OOS11. We have to wait and see, but they may have broken it on a hardware level.
> along with more custom ROM development on the way
No, it does not mean this.

>This means, that, likely after Android 11 is released for our devices, that we should be able to have a fully functional TWRP
except decryption that is, blobs are the same so I am not confident TWRP will be able to decrypt on OOS11. We have to wait and see, but they may have broken it on a hardware level.
> along with more custom ROM development on the way
No, it does not mean this.

On a good note it seems a couple more roms have come about

Well, seeing as it's the very reason for the delay, it wouldn't make sense for OnePlus to announce that they were delaying the beta to fix the encryption issue just for them to not fix it. If that were the case, they would just not say it, you know?

Hoping I'm wrong of course, but the pessimistic scenario is that OP forgot there was an issue with the 7T and was caught flatfooted while testing the update on their various devices. Then, they start looking for a cheesy workaround that doesn't undo the original problem.
Considering the recent, less than impressive, decisions coming out of OnePlus, I'm feeling it's more likely that some quick, unsatisfying shortcut to patch the problem is rolled out. I can't imagine a world where they dedicate the precious time of a couple of heroic developers to undo a tricky design mistake on an old device.
Heck, that's not even the worst scenario. If they were really caught with their pants down on this and it looks like the update is really difficult to apply, I wouldn't put it past their managers to conclude that the 7T is a niche phone with a declining base and they could decide to just leave it on Android 10, saying it couldn't be updated.
Again, though, I hope I'm wrong!

Yeah, I'm hoping for the best. In the original article, it says that had to team up with Qualcomm to begin fixing the issue, so I'm thinking it's both a hardware-software problem, but I wouldn't know since I'm not very literate when it comes to technical issues like encryption. But we shall see! I really just want Oxygen OS on Android 11 since most of the ROMs right now have bugs (as far I've seen—haven't been able to find a ROM that doesn't irritate me in one way or another).
I've read somewhere that the encryption issue has been fixed.and that it's assumed closed betas ether started or will start soon I'll see if I can find the article or if someone knows it feel free to post it

For them yes.
But here's the thing.
Let's assume it's the same issue.
They probably broke or implemented encryption differently on a hardware level, hence contacting Qualcomm to help them workaround (not fix) the issue. We as in users, don't know what broke or is different, and since we don't have the source code we can't possibly know how OnePlus worked around it to decrypt data.
Let's hope something else was broken / implemented differently and not in a hardware level, then maybe it's fixed.
In fact, I have tried the first version of the closed beta version of oosA11. I tried to flash the English version and the Chinese version of twrp in this version. His decryption work still cannot be decrypted. This is only the first closed beta version. Maybe in the future public beta version. Will solve the problem. I don’t know at least the decryption problem in the first closed beta version or not. Currently they are undergoing the second closed beta version test. I don’t know if the second closed beta version has solved the problem. Maybe in the future public test. Version will solve this problem!

I'm moving into the camp of saying I'd bet serious money they don't fix the encryption issue.
Are we even getting the beta at this point, it's 20th Jan
[QUOTE =“ gboybama,:84324093,:1342510”]
Yes, I don’t think they will solve the problem. They used a weird decryption method to push their OS to update when they upgraded to 11. They might not solve this problem fundamentally.
