? Google Camera APK | Mod APKMay 23, 2017 at 5:45 PM #19513Oleg VidenovMemberI just tried the instructions.
What happens is that after flashing the Lineage 13 rom and the marshmallow gapps (pico) Arm(32) the phone keeps restarting itself without booting.
Currently trying with different marshmallow gapps versions
Will let you know if I have success/failureMay 27, 2017 at 6:37 PM #19687Appel van KuchenMemberSame problem here.
I even had to initially reflash the stock rom with the SP-flash-tools to get TWRP working. After flashing Lineage 13 and gapps (mini) the e4.5 entered a bootloop.
So unfortunately it is not working. Do you have any advise?
May 27, 2017 at 11:21 PM #19718Eduard FablertMemberSame for me. I tried every version of Lineage on Pablito’s site, with and without GApps ARM(32) (Mini). I always end up in a boot loop, the phone restarts itself over and over again. :(
May 30, 2017 at 9:05 PM #20036Appel van KuchenMemberI found an issue on the github page of pablito2020, which says we need to install Android 4.4 to flash lineage. https://github.com/Pablito2020/android_device_bq_krillin/issues/1
I will try it but it looks like we need to do the following:
– flash Stock-ROM (Android 4.4: https://storage.googleapis.com/otas/2014/Smartphones/Aquaris_E4.5/bq/1.5.3_20150618-1313_bq-FW.zip)
– install TWRP (maybe with mtk flash tools)
– follow the other instructions here or on the github-issue-pageJune 2, 2017 at 2:43 AM #20289shibaa987ModeratorThanks @appel_van_kuchen for this important information.
I have updated the above guide accordingly. Also I did not notice that the Aquaris E 4.5 is a Mediatek chipset based device. Updated the Mediatek Recovery update guide too.
Thanks once again.
? Google Camera APK | Mod APKJuly 25, 2017 at 1:07 AM #24092sleep walkerMemberI installed TWRP first, than failed to install Stock ROM 4.4 with that, so I managed to use SP Flash tool for Linux to flash Stock ROM 4.4, installed TWRP, installed LineageOS and I’m happy user since.
Have you found reason, why it needs to be flashed over 4.4?
July 27, 2017 at 3:45 AM #24102sleep walkerMemberI’m afraid that I have found some issues:
* bluetooth is not reliable
* sending SMS doesn’t work for me
* some application are crashing (Injustice, MobileSync, …)October 26, 2017 at 8:18 PM #26769neochapayMemberI create PR on git with some little fixes
