[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] SpiritCroc:
AICP

Android Ice Cold Project

AICP is known by everyone as the "Ice Cold Project" that started on a Desire HD years ago (2012) and since then has evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community that you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, the Rom has always been based on AOKP. Unfortunately, since AOKP stopped development (but made a comeback later), we changed our base to CM.

With the re-brand of CM to LineageOS (LAOS) we are now LAOS based with some tweaks from AOSP.

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

You tell... :P

The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android Oreo. You don't need to install any Add-on's, simply download the latest ROM, GApps, flash it and go!

If you want the device to run the ROM "rooted", you can flash a root solution of your choice after the ROM Zipfile.

It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please 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 any strange behavior.

How to flash:

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

1. Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device.

2. Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).

3. Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache.

4. Flash the ROM Zipfile.

5. Flash the GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Playstore to work).

6. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).

7. Reboot your device.

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

The root solution should be flashed together with every OTA update (= ROM Update)

Currently Supported Root Solutions:

Magisk stable

Magisk versions higher than 14.0 doesn't require flash on every dirty flash depending on the deivce, some devices need you to flash it every time, unless your maintainer says otherwise it should be fine

PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:

To be able to flash using the built-in OTA app, TWRP recovery is needed.

You can still use the LAOS recovery and OTA app, but you will need to download the zip file and flash it manually from within your recovery. The Zipfile gets saved in the "aicp_ota" folder on your internal storage.

Please be sure that you are on the latest TWRP recovery. Keep in mind that this could also be an unofficial version!​
