[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] DiamondJohn:
DO NOT FLASH GAPPS! untill your second attempt and you have had a "play".

How I built it:

Set up a virtual Box (on Win7 64b) to build Lineage OS 14.1 (followed their instructions)

Source: https://github.com/crdroidandroid/

I used a working device tree (ie local manifest) from my working LineageOS 14.1 Build machine for an XT897 (for me I use the touch drivers for an XT907, but not in this build)

Basically, I have done no "magic" here, it all just kinda worked. up to a point as its pretty buggy. BUT IT BOOTS!

I also have a ResurrectionRemix 7.1.2 with similar issues.

This is an experimental build of crDroid 3.6, Android version 7.1.2, an experimental build for a non-official device (ie xt897).

I personally do not have an xt897, but an xt907. Since its relatively simple to port xt8907 ROMs to an xt907, I tried building crDRoid (and RR). It looks OK untill i flash GApps (i use Open GApps pico, and also tried a few others to no success)

The good :D

It's crDroid!:)

It's Nougat!:D

It Builds:p

It Boots!:highfive:

It has all the eyecandy!:angel:

It feels really "snappy":eek:

The bad

If you flash Gapps it falls to pieces in a never ending cycle of crashes!:crying:

It is buggy even without GApps:(​

Since I do not own an xt897, I cannot test this zip (as is) personaly, and hope someone with an xt897 will try the zip (with GApps) and let me know if they too get the same FC's I get on an xt907.

What I hope is that if the same errors occur on an xt897, that either a developer working on crDroid ( [MENTION=3795148]neobuddy89[/MENTION]) or the maintainer of the LOS xt897 device [MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION]) will see this thread and any logcat's posted and be able to easily identify what is wrong and needs to be changed top make it work? And whatever fixes it for an xt897 does the same for an xt907.

Credits: All credits go to [MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION] (for the xt897 official LOS device maintenance), crDroid contributors (multiple but I often see [MENTION=3795148]neobuddy89[/MENTION] updating the source) & all the many LOS contributors and Cm maintainers before them.

Almost forgot, Flash this ZIP at your own risk, the responsibility is all yours, it is provided as-is, with no garantees or whatever and I will not be held resonsible for any damage to your device or its data etc etc etc

Installation:

1) Download the ZIP

2) Boot into TWRP recovery

3) Make a nandroid (you will definitely be going back) And remember, a nandroid is NOT 100%! if you don't understand this, maybe trying this is not for you.

4) Wipe system/data/cache/dalvik

5) Flash update package (ie install the zip)

6) DO NOT INSTALL GAPPS! (try the whole process again including the wipes with GApps, if you dare...)

7) Reboot to system

Please get some logcats and post them on hastebin/pastebin etc etc NOT HERE, only the links. Hopefully we can fix it and have some highly customisable nougat ROM's for our devices. And the steps to make it work may also be helpful for the next Android iteration.

And please post how you go with this ROM, I would like to know if its as flakey on an xt897 as it is on an xt907.
