I followed the instructions here
http://www.android.gs/update-htc-desire-816-with-cm12-1-android-5-1-lollipop-custom-rom/
I downloaded the cm12.1 and the google apps.
When I boot into recovery and delete all my cache. Then I try to install zip from sd card I'm getting the error message...
"This package is for device a5, a5tl, a5dug, a5dwg, a5chl, a5ul; this device is htc_a5dug"
The installation fails from that point.
probably you are using cmw recovery,it is common error in this recovery as it checks for compatible deivce,of course there is ways to get rid of this error,like unziping and editing some lines of a file(there is a thread for that) but the most easiest way is to change ur recovery to TWRP and tring to reflash again
although i have to say cyanogeon is a great rom but u lose some features like boom sound which makes ur speakers giving crackling sound
Thanks,
Last night after I posted this forum. I went ahead and found out out to install TWRP and installed cyanogenmod. Only problem is my phone now shows 4 gigs v.s. 8 gigs. It also crashes continually when I installed google apps on it???
So more problems.
It seems I can install Cyanogenmod (any version 5.0 or 5.1) and it works great. As soon as I try to put the Google Zips onto the phone It won't even get past the setup screen. Each time it goes through it eventually says "The wizard stopped responding".
It seems none of the Google apps are compatible?
In addition my phone is now showing that I only have 4 gigs of total memory. I'm pretty certian the phone comes with 8 gigs (I understand the os and other things use the rest). I went ahead and flashed the phone back to the original firmware. Now my phone is showing 8 gigs of free space of which 6 is used!!!!!!
I really wish to get the cyanogenmod since it uses very little space and looks great.
So I"m exp the two problems.
1. Can't get Google Apps to cooperate with Cyanogenmod
2. Memory space issue
Anybody have any ideas.
OK,
Improvements.
I was able to get 5.0 and the google apps.
Everything is setup and running properly. I even did a vid conf with the phone.
The crackling sound is bearable if you turn down the vol a bit it goes away.
Only issue is the memory is down to 4 gig....
Would you be able to tell e how you got gapps working? I'm getting a status 6 error
I got the latest version of CM from here
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=a5
I then got version 12 of google apps from here.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
You have to get CM 12.
You put both on a SD card, boot into CWM and wipe everything. Then install from zip. Install both then boot.
It worked for me, but there are apparently some bugs here and there. I'm sure I'm willing to use this as a daily driver. But the alternative is bloatware city!!!!
My XT1795 is on stock 8.1 with unlocked BL, TWRP and magisk (I haven't installed any modules though). I am facing this weird issue since an year, the WiFi randomly keeps disconnecting and reconnecting automatically every 10 to 15 mins. I am sure that it has nothing to do with my WiFi router as I face the same issue when I am connected to mobile hotspots or any public or private network. I tried resetting the wifi and network settings, restored the device quite a few times, and also reflashed the stock rom but the problem still exists. The most recently that I reflashed the stock rom was a month ago, i didn't face any issue for the first 15 days but now it's back again.
Can someone please help me?
Try using a different kernel. But make sure that stock 8.1 is supported

You have root right? Try taking some logs until WiFi crashes. Then wait a couple of seconds before stopping log recording. I will try to look into it.

Please have a look at the logcat, this morning while generating this log the wifi network ([email protected]) disconnected and reconnected atleast 3 times. Even after the reconnection, most of times I am not able to access the internet, I have enable airplane mode, then enable the wifi again or reboot the device. I am sure there is no problem with my router because, I face the same issue when ever I connect to any network be it a mobile hotspot or railway public network.

As far as I have seen this is what's concerning:
1
E/WifiVendorHal( 2001): stopRssiMonitoring(l.2156) failed {.code = ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE, .description = }
Some vendor realted stuff is just gone.
2
W/WifiConfigManager( 2001): Looking up network with invalid networkId -1
The NetworkID (probably which decides which network it tries to connect to) is ****ed
3
E/wpa_supplicant( 3589): wpa_driver_nl80211_driver_cmd: failed to set RXFILTER option I/QCNEJ/CndHalConnector( 2569): -> SND notifyRatConnectionStatusChanged(rat = 1, DISCONNECTED)
Yeah I think drivers are just ****ed
I would personally suggest 2 things
1. Install lineage 15.1
2. Re-install stock
Alternatively to 2:
Factory reset, could fail though due to magisk and force-encrypt

This problem started after I unbricked my phone few months ago. I flashed an older version of bootloader on my XT1795 which lead to a complete breakdown, the phone was unable to boot, I had to flash mmcblk0.tar and this rom on a 32GB sd card and booted from it so as to flash a new stock rom on the int storage. After all those efforts the phone booted up but I started having this WiFi issue.
I'll try installing lineage OS because , I have tried reinstalling stock 2 times and even factory reset-ed the device. Thanks alot for responding.
Edit : I have flashed the LineageOS 15.1, will update if the problem persists.

The wifi drops are more severe on lineage 15.1. Most of the times there's no internet access even while wifi is connected. Please have a look at the new logcat file.

I am being forced now to roll back to the stock rom from twrp backup.
When it is like that even on lineage, try downgrading to nougat and see if the error persists, I also have this problem now btw... I'm on Android 9 though
If the error doesn't persist, upgrade back to Oreo. And see if it's fixed, if not, then I'll have to try around a little bit by myself
Also, me being on Android P with Radium, it isn't really a kernel issue.
I just cant decide what it is,
Also, don't use the "stable" build advertised pretty recently in jarl's lineage 16 thread, it isn't stable
(Bruh)
I will try downgrading to Oreo and see if the error persists for me.

1.
Now I flashed stock 8.1 (fresh flash) on the lineage 15.1. The wifi problem is still there. Like you said, the last way could be downgrading to Android Nougat but I am scared it could hard brick the device. Why I am saying this is I did a downgrade 7-8 months ago, which bricked the phone and led me to Blank Flash 7.1 srock rom to finally make it boot, it was then this wifi issues started. It was a disaster, later I came to know that downgrading bootloader from from a new version of rom to an older version will mostly end up in dead devices. :highfive:
2.
So do you still think I need try downgrading once again ?
3.
I am fed of this phone now, I was planning to get a new one but everything in India is locked down till 15th April. I only have this flashing time till that date, from 16th (could be even 10th) I have to attend office.

We have one last resort,
G. S. I
If that doesn't work, then it's due to isp's being overloaded from all the streaming which is happening.
For me, it started when testing an "stable" (*cough cough* it isn't *cough cough*)
Lineage update
Install latest , non wiktor build of lineage 16.0 builddate
20200208
Or the gsi "optimized" 2019070X build
And then installing a pie (or Q) GSI of choice

Please try to run this command in terminal emulator, while wifi is on.
Code:
su
killall wpa_supplicant
This will kill all the active connections and reconnect to current network, I read on linux foums that this fixed the wifi issue at least temporarily.

Okay okay. I got the.. ahem... "Fix" for the issue.
Basically, when reinstalling almost everything (except firmware)
It just fixed itself? I dont know how it just did.
Try reinstalling Lineage 15.1 or 16 (jarl's builds, wiktors cause more problems aka Lineage 16.0 v0.16 instead of 0.17)
And then installing a GSI of choice. If you didnt look that up yet, basically, you know how on a PC, no matter the hardware, you can install windows on it without device specific ****? Yeah that's project treble, allowing installation of updates and ROMs using .img files.
Luckily, our Lineage 16.0 builds (and only those) have full support for treble, so, just download a rom of choice, RR for example, extract it using an application like RAR and then wipe ONLY
/System & /Data NOT FORMAT
Wipe>advanced wipe> select system and data
This won't erase Internal storage just uninstall all apps and stuff
And then head to where you extracted the .img file and select "flash zip" in the bottom right corner
It should now switch to: "install Image"
And the extracted file should show up.
Select it, select "system image" and flash
Don't worry about it saying: " NO OS INSTALLED" And blah blah blah. The phone will take care of it, unless it crashes, then the rom isn't compatible with our specific device.

If the launcher for example is lagging, try adding this line
Sys.use.fifo_ui=1
Into build.prop and rebooting, maybe that makes it better
Hi!
Since the official OxygenOS Android 10 update left me less than happy, I decided to try and give a custom ROM a chance again. Had RR on my OPO a few years back so that felt like a good thing to default back to, but for OP5t. Unlocked the bootloader, got TWRP 3.3.1 installed. All good. Got RR8.1.0 for dumpling downloaded, also downloaded gApps and magisk. Transferred them over, installed the .zip's. So far so good. Booting into RR seems fine at first, but when I get to the point of backing up my data from a previous device/or skipping it, the installer freezes/loops/fails.
I assume I have the correct firmware since OxygenOS 10 works "just fine". When I try to recover stuff from an old device, I choose my old backup from yesterday, then it goes into a screen where it says "Wait a few secs..." or something of that nature. The circle around it just keeps looping. This takes only a few seconds to find the data if I'm installing OOS. So this is a dead end. If I try to pass through without anything, accounts, face unlock and all that, I get to a point of where I am supposed to setup the assistant. Whether I choose "Skip" or "Next" (as in set it up) I keep looping back 2 steps to enter pin, then set up the assistant again.
I have re-installed RR a bunch of times as it didn't work, first I had problems with "Enter device pin" which I had no clue what it was in the android setup. Cleaned it all up, installed OOS10, that worked to setup and install just fine. Cleared it all out again, tried to install RR, got past the "Enter device pin", but then it failed as mentioned above.
TL;DR: RR8.1.0 Dumpling Android setup fails when backing up from account/can't get past assistant. OOS10 works as it should.
Any clue on what the problem might be? Tried installing at least 10 times, but it didn't work. Any help is appreciated If there's just some general flaw in RR for this device/version, any other custom ROM that is to be recommended?

Could be. Tried to search for A10 firmware, but came up short (had this issue with my OPO and firmware for A7). Got AICP installed now and that seems to work.
Out of curiosity, does OnePlus release the firmware openly, or do you have to find some guy's "homemade" firmware in a future case like this?
