hi there.. how to install mokee?? is it just like the other custom rom installation?
wipe data/ factory
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
install zip
are those the steps? or do i need to format system as well?
already downloaded the file but im waiting for the confirmation of the steps..
You don't need to format system... just flash the boot.img and then install it like any other custom Rom... If you need to grant root access to all apps without them asking for it .. You can change the settings in superuser to do that
What version should i install first? Nightly or Release?

I went to the website bro. I saw 2 kinds of releases the nightyly and i think the other one is named RELEASE but i assumed it would be the official one they had an update in the nightly version this june 4 So i should just install the official release and OTA to the current nightyly build?
Mekoo seems great. Tried the first unofficial that came. It has improved greatly. Ext_sd is working perfectly.
Hi,
I've flashed the MK51.1-armani-151221-RELEASE.zip
the problem is that it is stuck at the first boot screen
updating/loadining XXapps out of 92 (maybe92)
updates till 31 and reboots
after reboot updating/loading XX apps out of 61
updates till 29 and reboots
after reboot updating/loading XX apps of 31
updates till 15 and reboots
this happens till
updating 1 apps out of 1
and reboot
updating 1 apps out of 1
and reboots
and reboots
Someone said to me to flash 5.1.1 firmware
if it will work , can u gimme the link ?
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Happened to me too. Try different gapps (particularly nano or pico ), or use gapps-config.txt to install what you want.
Edit: Btw which rom did you use before this ?.
Heres the link to the firmware : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64177956&postcount=3 Just flash it from the recovery before flashing rom and Gapps.

Jepp, thats the last update for it.
It never got the Lollipop or Marsmellow.
But If you root and install recovery you can install this rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...0-xsm-t520-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-t3466579
It's amazing and gave me a whole ''new'' Tablet.
Blazing fast, really good battery and stable!
That rom is much faster, using less memory and gave me more battery than the orginal TouchWizz 4.4.2 firmware!

Yes, do the steps from the TWRP recovery thread and install, TWRP and Superu.
Then you can just flash the rom and install gaps and restart.
Everything is correct but you might want to try android 7.1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...7-1-xsm-t520-unofficial-lineage-14-1-t3538770
I've tested it, it runs very good

Of course it's correct, I don't say things if im not sure about them
I went for the MM build because of some apps im using, both in Xposed and some banking things.
I have not tried the other rom, but people say it's stable and nice, of if you are not in the absolutte need of an MM build, try det Nougat....
I can just talj for the MM build since I have used it.
You can not go wrong with either of them :good:

Have been working perfect since day 1 here, no problems at all.
Try Nougat build then.
Home button is working, have to be problem with the newest Gapps. Mine are 4 weeks old.
As for the storage you just plug it in and drag down from top, then select tap usb for charging and select file transfer.
As for lock screen just go into settings and select lock screen then swipe, as always....
It can be my fault, which gapps varian should i pick ? i installed "pico".
aroma
super
stock
full
mini
micro
nano
pico
tvstock

Nah, I see other people have this problem also, maybe it's the new Gapps, try this from orginal thread.
Maybe try this to fix home button, from orginal ROM thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...520-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-t3466579/page35
All of the gapps should work, so have to be something wrong with them.
You just choose the gapps after how much of Google thingys you want installed.

If it's the same as MM build you just choose Themes in settings and shop themes.
You get redirected to Play Store from there.

Find an older version of Gapps, or do one full start after install before installing the gapps.
Have never run into this so I do not know.
But read about it in the orginal rom thread, maybe som other tips there.
Myself, I do not change to any 7.x.x bul\ilt before Xposed is up and running.

I think you need OLDER gapps, I installed Lineage built. Same as you, from 14.January.
But my Gapps are 3 or 4 weeks old, do not know how to se what version of Gapps installed.
And you also tried to start the device up after rom install, then restaring and installing Gapps?

Very strange:
When you reinstalled, did you do a clean install, with advanced wipe in TWRP and wiping everything a couple of times before innstalling rom?
Also did these things work on first boot? When not having Gapps installed?
What should i wipe to clean install ?
I'm using nijel8's Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 and am really pleased with it. My previous rom was the weekly Xiaomi.EU rom for Xiaomi Mi Max Helium.
When I updated my Xiaomi.EU Rom, I would reboot into recovery and then:
1. Backup > system/data/boot
2. Install new ROM.zip
3. Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Dalvik /ART Cache and Cache
4. Reboot.
Is it the same process with LineageOS 14.1? There are FIRMWARE.zips and I installed one during my initial installation of the rom. Do I need to updated the firmware again, then install the rom, or do I just skip it and install the ROM.zip?
I didn't think it was appropriate to litter the main thread with this question, so I'm hoping I get an answer here.
Thanks in advance.
Yep, same procedure + gapps, firmware update is up to you. You can skip it if you don't have problems but in general is good to be on the same firmware as the MIUI base.

OK. I will flash the new firmware and the rom update. Cheers!
But gapps? Can't I just leave the updating of Google stuff to the play store?
EDIT: I did some more Googling and now understand why. All is good. I backed up, flashed the most recent firmware just to be safe. Worked fine. Then I flashed the updated ROM and the Gapps I installed before and rebooted. Smooth as silk.
Is screen cast / Miracast working for you on this ROM?

I don't use those features. Sorry.
I am giving my girlfriend my Nexus 5x while I am out of the country and am hoping to be able to keep some of the extra features of a custom ROM like tethering, tap to wake and a custom kernel without compromising stability and ease of updating over stock.
Currently I am using the latest Nougat based PixelROM and I like the additions of it but I am unsure if the Oreo release is totally solid or easy to update. If none of the Oreo roms are stable I will just restore to stock but wanted to get opinions first.
Thanks in advance!
AICP has been stable for me since I installed it in mid-January, no force closes, random reboots, or unexpected battery drains. It's based on LineageOS though, not stock.
@jolness1: I recommend ABC, latest bullhead-update: features ≈Pixel, stable, regular updates, lovely devs.
@rp158 are you use gapps because I have battery drain on ABC (clean install) and now I use AEX extended unofficial with NanoDroid mod and rocks fine without drain.
@Luca Toni, why should I use GApps Are you sure, you took the recommended package?
@rp158 Yes , I've been on recommended gapps by ezio.
