[ROM][5.1.1] AOSP-5.1.1 / CM-12.1 for Lenovo a2109 (20160901)

[PJBrs]

Just one issue I should mention is that after upgrade process and everything finished, I went to setting and took a look at menus, then I plugged-in the charger in 35% battery status, and suddenly the tablet got shut down. I totally scared of having it in brick situation! but after a while the display turned on and showing the green ball charging icon in 35%. I pressed power button and it turned on and booted to android. It works so faster than previous cm11 and It's still alive!

Hi, do you still have this issue with the battery?

 

[PJBrs]

I think I've just made it possible to record video! The CM camera app still crashes, but that seems to be a different issue, and I've installed a different camera app and that one works

The fix is in /etc/media_codecs.xml

 

[PJBrs]

... seems like gps is broken again though...

 

[PJBrs]

Okay, fixed GPS, and FIXED VIDEORECORDING! Lollipop is now on feature parity with Kitkat, and there's even a very slim chance that cast to chromecast might be solved.

Also, I found a stupid bug, I've had GPS logging turned on, which filled up /data/gps/log/ with useless garbage. So, after you update, best to open a terminal, become root:

su

and remove the garbage:

rm /data/gps/log/*

Hi guys, just updated to cm 12.1 and maybe its a noob question, but how can I get root with this update?

 

[Mister X]

Its in the developers tools

 

[Libi]

Many thanks.... I think Im blind

Okay, so In developer options Root access enabled, but still cant get root. Can you explain me a bit more detailed. Many thanks.

 

[Mister X]

After install in cwm you click on root?

If yes do it again and read the info in first page " If you're using cwm, please ignore its offer to fix root after installation, on lollipop root works quite differently than on kitkat. "

If you do so, then root works

I used twrp. so I need to use cwm?

Edit:
With cwm, no probs.

 

[Mister X]

Sorry i see it now, i use the recovery from PJ i cant say something to twrp.
If i see cwm works for you thanks for your answer.

Great job PJB! I'm afraid I don't use my tablet quite enough these days...

I have strange bug. Video call not working (Viber - not activate video calls, Skype - I see, but green screen for other). Anybody can confirm.
CM12.1 build 18.03.16 , video record works fine.

Well, video recording is an utter hack in this rom. Can you get logcat from Skype first?

Dear PJBrs,
I think you may consider to bring us a CM 13 build rom.
