I apologize for the double post, but I believe this deserves another post.

I just massively updated the CM12.1 SFOS piratepad. There's now a section on changing the pixel_ratio (with mer-tools addition), along with a section on OTA updating. I've also edited some of the command formatting to make it easier to copy/paste multiple lines.

Also, big thanks to sledges, mal-, and kimmoli (in no particular order).


A few notes before you proceed (duplicating warnings from piratepad for good reason):

• Nobody other than me has done this yet! Only OTA if you're comfortable potentially breaking your system. If you're comfortable with ssh over usb or wifi, you will probably be able to recover however.
• The second update method is a bit more advanced, and hasn't been well tested. I also don't recommend trying it for updates to SFOS versions (for instance 2.0.0.10 => 2.0.1.11). There have been device updates since the last uploaded 2.0.1.11 release however, and it could end up being a lighter update route for more advanced users.

Device support updates to note:

• We're running on new ofono (radio support) packages, and have updated our device repos accordingly.
• Kernel changes from the test kernel posted earlier have been implemented.
• The device hostname has been changed from "localhost" to "Nexus5"
• We're now using audioflingerglue, which has (strangely) increased some volume output.

There will be a new release (cm121-beta0) uploaded shortly for those wishing to fresh flash, as well as an updated sensorsfix zip (can be flashed over existing installs with prior zip).

This cm12.1 project will be maintained in parallel with cm11 until cm12.1 sfdroid support is in a good spot. This is the reasoning behind having the packages on my home mer obs project. Additionally, the only way to update from cm11 => cm12.1 based SFOS is with a new install. There's no way around it, no matter device.

Super, is multirom supported?

RealJohnGalt | # 763 | 2016-06-28, 06:38 | Report

Yes. On line 24 (the first bullet point in "Installation"), there is a recommended twrp recovery to use.

Thanks a lot! This night I want to try it

If you're fresh installing cm12.1 based, you might want to wait a day for the "cm121-beta0" build to be uploaded so there's no need (or desire) to OTA it right off the bat .

Yes I'll do a fresh install so it's better to wait, thank you

Got it uploaded and tested a bit sooner than I expected. Piratepad updated

My mistake, sorry.

I've just tried to install Sf on cm12.1, obviously with latest TWRP recovery of multirom, seems it's flashed but now it's stuck on "extracting boot image" of Sailfish, is it a known issue?
I know there is a recommended TWRP version, but I was too curious to try it.

EDIT: my fault, everything was rignt flashed and it's working fine, even with latest Multirom TWRP recovery.

EDIT2: Well, I've understand why the old TWRP version is recommended, if you use the new, you can't flash the sensor fix.
I've found a problem, I haven't any data connection with my sim, the apn is right, but in settings results disabled and in light gray, so I can't switch to enabled.
Wifi works fine.
