The camera is completely different. The rest looks the same.

I just see that there is now a private beta for CyanogenMod 13.0 on the BQ Aquaris M5.5 (namek). Take a look at this (spanish) thread: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1163341

The sources can be built manually from here: https://github.com/namek-dev

Good luck!

Hi, I'm a bit higjacking this thread sorry in advance.

I'm looking to buy a bq aquaris m5 and flash cyanogenmod on it, I have only 2 concerns, first is the stability. I used CM 12.1 and 13 on my LG G3 and I had frequent random reboots, unexpected shutdowns during phone calls or during the night, so I was unable to use it as my daily phone. How is the Stability of BQ Aquaris M5? The changelog does not show a lot of activity, is this because CM is working great, or because the dev lost interest in this phone (wich is ok, as this is volunteer work).

The last question was about the Wi-fi, as the M5 does not have dual-band 802.11ac how is the Wi-fi working (more in terms of reception than speed).

Thanks in advance for any reply
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
Hi!

I'm using CM 13.0 for a while now and flash a new version about once per week. During that time, the phone is usually never rebooting. A random reboot happened to me once just this week, however I'd say it's a very rare occurence.

Wi-fi is working good for my needs. It certainly depends on what you want to do with it...

The main developer is still active and responds quite fast. He's currently porting CyanogenMod to more BQ devices, but will certainly improve this one again in the future...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
Thanks for your reply, I think I will give it a try as I can get the phone delivered to Switzerland for 170€ and I'm looking for quite some time for a phone capable of using dual Sim AND micro sd at the same time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DutchmanIII:
Hi I'm in Switzerland and interested as well. Where are you having it delivered from for that price?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
A lot of Swiss People around here, from amazon.it its 192€ minus the Italian VAT plus the swiss VAT and import fee = 170,07€
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
I'm Swiss too :) I ordered the phone at Amazon using AmazonGlobal. Good choice folks! :good:

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Wow! Didn't notice that. That's cheap indeed! (I ordered at Amazon DE but that shouldn't make a difference besides the price...)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
And I forgot to mention it's the 3 GB version :)

So, I have the ROM installed, there are variants, like Temasek,but they are unstable. This rom is perfect for everyday use

Now that we have Marshmallow officially from BQ, can we swap the camera app from this build with the stock app to have slow motion?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
Should be possible, see CameraBQ_signed.zip at https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/eloimuns/bq/piccolo/.

Dual SIM Issues

Great ROM! I have tested cm-13.0-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-piccolo.zip and most things seem to be working well. Excellent work.

I installed the BQ Camera app. (Extracted the apk from the zip and installed that). The pictures taken with this app are much improved.

In my testing I have also found some issues with dual SIMs.

1) As another poster mentioned there is no way to individually disable SIMs.

2) It does not seem to be possible to set SIM1 to 2G. (It discovers 3G and 2G networks)

3) Even if you try to set SIM2 to 3G it will only discover 2G networks

In the standard BQ Android ROM you can disable SIMs and select which one is 2G. In this ROM the second SIM is always 2G and now requires the SIM cards to be manually swapped in the slots :(

Screenshots of the issues here: http://www.stargw.eu/4ZYhEGFkocRRhJcz0lRWk-HBoLUw

As I use dual SIMs a lot, this is a killer issue for me. Any chance of getting this fixed, because aside from that it works like a dream.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
See https://github.com/bq-dev/android_device_bq_piccolo/issues/96. I think that the problems will be solved with the next update. Could also have been an upstream issue...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
After asking some questions about the stability of the rom, I wanted to give a little feedback. I did not use it for a long time but it seems very stable, and everything seems to work great. Thanks to the devs.

And concerning the phone, I really appreciate the bq let's you unlock your bootloader so easily, and do not void your warranty if you flash another firmware (from what I read) it's really nice to have such open minded companies.

Problem with WiFi PEAP MSCHAPv2

Hello together,

firts of all, this is a nice ROM.

I´ve only one Problem:

At Work the WiFi is secured with radius and the known problem of this:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=188867

In the reply of #180 is written, that there ist installed a workaround in Android-Core AOSP 6.0.0_r41.

Is this merged into this ROM?

Actually i installed the last version of 20160612, but the phone could not connect to the wifi at work.

Is here a guy who can help me?

Hi, did someone make a guide how to build this rom? I already built officially supported devices with breakfast, how how do you handle the external github repos? I read about manifest files, but I did not find one for this device.

If someone has a pointer in the right direction, I would be thankful.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

According to my day to day usage, it's seems not to bad, I even got some network where I didn't with my LG G3, but this could also be explained by other external facts.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dialga13:
At this device's repo, there's two branches, CM12.1 and CM13, no one has made a guide for building cm, but there are some custom builds

My idea was to try a fix, and thus rebuild the same rom with the fix myself.

I will try creating my own device file.

The update manager always tells me that there is a new update available, but it's the version I already have installed (CM-13.0-20160620) is this also happening to other people?

Second question, I had a crash (apart from this the rom is very stable) but I was not able to find the last_kmsg in /proc, is it located elsewhere?

Thanks for your reply.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
Yes, I have the same problem. See https://github.com/bq-dev/android_device_bq_piccolo/issues/86

It could be that only the GUI has crashed but not the kernel. Check logcat.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
Thanks for your reply, what I meant by crash was a reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
How can you be sure it was a reboot? Did you check logcat? Anyway, if that doesn't solve the problem, then I'm sorry I don't have any better suggestions at hand...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
I saw the BQ logo, so for me it was a reboot, but it might not have been one. As I thought that it was a reboot, I did not check the logcat, but I will for sure do next time.

Thanks for your help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 123himang:
The rear camera doesn't works

Any work around?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
It works fine here. Maybe a defect? Install stock to see. If it's broken there too, contact BQ service.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DocMAX:
i separated lcd and digitizer and replaced the digitizer with one from china because the old was cracked.

now the touch screen response i mirrored on x axis (you press upper left und phone respons lower left).

any idea where i can fix this via software?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
Another question, when I try to install an update, it does not take me into recovery (same thing with extended reboot options of cm when choosing reboot into recovery) the system just reboot but not in recovery. Going manually to twrp works (using hardware keys). Does anyone have a clue of what could be wrong?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
If I remember correctly, that happens when the bootloader is out of date. You can find the new bootloader (incl. new modem drivers) at https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/eloimuns/bq/piccolo/. Download and install the file FirmwareMM_signed.zip from within your recovery. Note: The file is 1:1 identical with the stock update, except that it doesn't overwrite your existing system (system and data partitions).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
Hi, thanks for your reply, flashing the firmware seem to have solved the problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
Long time no updates in this post. However, there are new builds released almost every week. CyanogenMod 13.0 works absolutely stable on the BQ Aquaris M5.

Meanwhile the phone is available on Amazon for only 200-250 EUR. If you like the design, then you won't be disappointed with this!

[MENTION=3081699]C-o-M[/MENTION] the start post should be corrected, as the new builds are published at https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Kra1o5/bq/piccolo now. Thanks for taking care!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
Yesterday I flashed cm-13.0-20160820-UNOFFICIAL-piccolo.zip and today I have graphical glitches and blank screen issues. So I reverted back to cm-13.0-20160731-UNOFFICIAL-piccolo.zip.

Did someone else face this issues with this release?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
[MENTION=4686282]mensoif[/MENTION] No issues here. Did you report a bug about it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mensoif:
No not yet as I was not at work I had to fix the issue quickly so I went back to latest stable (for me) release. But I will try to flash again and see if I can find something with logcat.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C-o-M:
Is there anyone using this ROM and not following the Spanish or German forums?

Gesendet von meinem Aquaris M5 mit Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
Not everyone speaks Spanish or German. BQ devices are sold internationally.

I would actually prefer if everyone contributes to this thread rather than having two split communities in Spain and in Germany. Can't hurt if this thread is more alive...

Besides this, I can imagine that it helps new users to find out about the device at all...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C-o-M:
To be honest - I am surprised that there is so much activity here. I just got the first notification since February. Thought this thread is dead.

You are completely right, I would prefer a single point of discussion as well. But I think we have to deal with it. Most of the users are in Spain (unfortunately it's hard for me to understand Spanish), and a lot are contributing to the German forum.

Just out of curiosity, where are the other users coming from?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] JosephusQuint:
Where do you ask for something like that? I'd like to ask for it as well; there is no excuse for not having one, and just makes it more cumbersome for M5 users. As Ariano pointed out, even less supported devices have one, it's nonsensical.

How about the dolby? Does it work properly? Just thinking to buy this phone for the DAC alone and curios if has CM suport as well
[Miscellaneous Android Development] michael_ch:
Dolby Sound: How can I check that? Sound is good but how do I know if it's Dolby or not?

CyanogenMod support: Yes, in fact there's a team of 5 people working on that device. Considering that the device has 5 years guarantee, it's still a great choice!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mekanix:
Yes, it is! On the other hand sound quality and integrated Wolfson DAC is another key sales point.

To confirm Dolby I guess there's a driver integrated in the kernel so a lsmod could be a starting point

[ROM][6.0.1][UNOFFICIAL][2017-09-20] LineageOS 13.0 for BQ Aquaris M5

LineageOS 13.0 unofficial build available (20170920).

Built by me. As in previous builds of CyanogenMod 13.0, it includes root privileges, there's no need to install anything else.

Bugs and other details:

Snap (camera app included in LineageOS) doesn't recognize SD card if it's being used as internal storage (it may work otherwise, but I haven't tested it). Problem solved when app data is deleted. Both LineageOS camera and stock camera work.

Previously reported bugs in CyanogenMod 13.0 may haven't been fixed... I'm fine with this ROM, everything is working fine for me.

Latest versions of some apps (Nova Launcher, Greenify, Facebook) may cause a bootlook (I don't know how to fix that, I just use older versions, sorry).

How to upgrade:

Instructions in OP, but no need to wipe data if you're already in CM 13.0 nightly or stable.

I recommend installing:

BQ Camera v4.5.0: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=eloimuns&dl=eloimuns/bq/CameraBQ_4.5.0_signed.zip

Firmware v4.5.0: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de...imuns/bq/piccolo/FirmwareMM_v4.5.0_signed.zip

Download link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6jw3n2pvMAwS1BlbWR3T255NHc

LineageOS Statistics: https://stats.lineageos.org/version/13.0-20170920-UNOFFICIAL-piccolo/

Enjoy! :)

Of course thanks to @eloimuns for his work and help and also [MENTION=6025582]Kra1o5[/MENTION], [MENTION=3081699]C-o-M[/MENTION] and everyone making this possible. :D

[General Questions and Answers] Zetadeck:
I recently downloaded an app from the internet on my Android and it looked ok (the app is called ppsspp gold and I don't remember where I downloaded it), but after some minutes I got something chinese and from then I understood I was in a big trouble. I reboot my device and I thought I was secured, and from that time my phone started downloading these 3 apps: com.android.system, com.android.systemui and a Pornclub app. My antivirus started going crazy and my screen was filled with ads. I disabled the apps and it seemed I was ok for a while, but then it started saying on notifications "Check these awsome news" , I bypassed it but then it said something about privacy and policies about downloading something I don't really know, I kept clicking cancel but it was coming over and over so at the end I closed my phone and leave it on the table till I find a solution. Any help guys? :crying: :(

[Samsung Gear S2] just2wikid:
So lately my gear s2 has been giving me issues by not giving me text or email notifications. When this happened I did a light refresh and it helped it out for a few hours but would go back to no text or email notifications. And now, after doing a factory refresh and reinstalling the gear apps, I am not getting text or email notifications. I have all my settings set right in the gear app and through the phone settings app notification. The funny thing is is that I get phone calls on my gear s2 but nothing else. Anybody else having this issue? FYI my phone is an LG v10. I have a suspicion that this is a Gear app problem. Any help would be great. Thanks!!
[Samsung Gear S2] RankBajin:
Yup...

... me too! Was working fine then just stopped yesterday evening. I wonder what's changed?

A factory reset and reinstalling the Gear App on my Note 5 managed to synch the last text received prior to the reset but nothing since.
[Samsung Gear S2] just2wikid:
I have heard others speak of the same issue on other boards so I have a feeling it was the Gear app update that is the problem. Hope they fix it soon
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
I had been having the same problems as well and it turned out I had to force an update of Samsung Accessory Service after the Gear Manager and Gear Plugin updates. Make sure the Accessory Service is at rev 2.26.106.

Hope that helps,

Fred
[Samsung Gear S2] RankBajin:
Unfortunately having rev 2.26.106 makes no difference on my Note 5. Interestingly I can control the S2 from my phone so it's definitely connected and it does get the occasional email notification (although not all). Unless Samsung sort this out the S2 is practically useless.
[Samsung Gear S2] just2wikid:
How

Stupid question, how do I force the update of the Samsung Accessory Service? I'm at 2.16.106 and see no update available for me
[Samsung Gear S2] blkghost22:
Nobody found a way yet? Its driving me crazy
[Samsung Gear S2] Avatiach:
Not sure if you tried it already, but for me, turning off the "Limit Notifications" setting on the gear app dramatically helped with the reliability of notifications arriving to the watch. Thought I'd share, just in case :)

(I'm on a Samsung Note 4 with the 3g tmo S2).
[Samsung Gear S2] gte678n:
Anybody figure this one out yet? Just received mine 12/10, and received texts that morning, none since. Still receives calls and alarms, just no texts or emails...

Mine worked at first, then stopped working, I tried everything I could think of (factory reset, reinstalling software on phone, clearing caches), miraculously it then worked perfectly for a week (I don't think it was anything I did), then it stopped receiving texts and email notifications again. There is clearly a connection with the phone as I get call notifications.... what a piece of junk.
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
Same here all fine then nothing
[Samsung Gear S2] just2wikid:
I contacted Samsung and relayed the problem to them and they told me the V10 is not compatible with the Gear S2. After looking at the list of compatible phones on the Samsung website, I saw the V10 isn't on there. It's just weird that it did work fine off the start and then stopped with the email and texts. But yet I still get phone calls. Hopefully they start to show some love to the V10
[Samsung Gear S2] RankBajin:
Unfortunately for me I have a Samsung Note 5, I wonder if that isn't compatible either? :rolleyes: The watch clearly has major issues.

[Samsung Gear S2] wxgs333:
I recently had similar issue that one of the messenger app suddenly didn't forward notifications to my S2 classic while email notifications worked fine.
