AICP​

Android Ice Cold Project​

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development then (but made a comeback by now), we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features. Since CM changed to LineageOS in 2017, our base remain LineageOS (LOS).

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them out or the LOS team, if it concerns their modifications. This rom isn't LOS supported so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

Don't disable Heads-Up. You wont be able to answer phone calls otherwise.

You tell... :P

The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Nougat. Only thing that is needed additionally is a root soultion, if you want this! Simply download the latest ROM, GApps, root soultion, flash it, and go!

You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.

Addition for installing root on builds after 17/06/14:

CHANGES (READ THIS BEFORE FLASHING!)

YES. AICP is going to build rootless builds.

This change will happen during a short period of time.

I could explain the decision for that,

but that would not be understandable for all users, so i put it this way...

Going rootless means that the ROM will NOT come with any Root or SU built in anymore.

There will be no Magisk - as a buildin root solution - be provided when the user flashes the ROM zip file.

What you will have to do (If you don't do it by now):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will have to flash a root solution of your choice (lineage-su addon, SuperSU or Magisk) by yourself after the ROM.

I will link the appropriate solutions here in this post.

REMEMBER:

First flash the ROM, then your desired root solution!

This MUST also be done on every dirty flash to ensure root is not lost!

This MUST be done, when using the OTA app too! Just add the "root" zipfile after the ROM!

What will be noticeable to the user:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. We had to cut out some features for getting this done. Those are:

a. The SELinux switch in the dev options is gone for now.

This can also be done by other apps, if necessary.

b. The feature to flash another bootanimation from AICP Extras is gone.

You can still use a flashable ZIP from TWRP or Substratum.

c. The builtin logcat feature in AICP Extras will be gone.

Most users did not use it either as it only can store max. 400KB.

We already advised to use Catlog or Syslog Apps (both free on Play store).

Remember that both need root!

d. The builtin "System app remover" will be gone, as it required root to run.

2. You will, of course, not see Magisk Manager in the app folder, of course.

3. Remember that without a root solution some other apps e.g. Kernel Audiutor will also not work.

Whatever you choose. Lineage SU options are in dev options in settings. The others use separate Apps.

Links to tested root solutions (download from the thread):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Magisk (remember that v12 need the Manager to be flashed separately. v13 will have it buildin the flashable ZIP:

Magisk Official

Magisk beta

SuperSU (Use whatever works for you, stable or beta):

SuperSU stable

SuperSU beta

Lineage SU-addon (check your needed version 14.1 arm or arm64!):

LineageOS su-addons for 14.1

-> the removal zip is available here too.

How to flash:

Again: Don't do it if you don't know it!

TWRP is the recommended custom recovery (and needed for OTA Updates)

1. full wipe

2. flash ROM

3. flash GApps

(The ROM has GApps persistance in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once!)

4. flash root solution of your choice (SuperSU, Magisk or whatever you want)

KERNEL:

AICP for serrano3gxx and serranoltexx was powered with @f4k kernel on MM and now uses LOS stock kernel on N. So expect the best regarding performance, battery life and performance!

IF you want, you can try the Remix Kernel available on XDA. ​

PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:

To be able to flash over OTA app, TWRP recovery is needed.

You can still use CWM and OTA app, but only to download zip file and flash it manually from within recovery. The ROM Zip gets saved under AICP_ota folder on your internal SDcard.

Please be sure that you are on the latest TWRP recovery.

For current builds of Nougat (AICP 12.1) please use the versions from here (thx to @ne0zone75):

AICP supports F2FS for /data & /cache since MM. So enjoy the F2FS smoothness thanx to @f4k !!!!
