AOSP Lollipop 5 based on the Pabx assembly
(For unlocked bootloader)

Update to version 5.0.8 (Android 5.0.2, build of 12/30/2014).
Now all the assemblies will probably be from Pabx, the core based on the sources from Thomas.
What's new: repaired GPS, processor mode is now selected in settings, added root-explorer, increased video bitrate in 1080p and 720p modes.

Screenshots of AOSP Lollipop from Ru4kin.

What works / does not work.

Installation:
It is recommended to install on stock .283 firmware.
ATTENTION!!! If you installed the .283 firmware just for the sake of installing Lolik, then you definitely need to boot into the firmware and make one call. Only then sew Lolik (otherwise there will be no network).

So let's start:
Before flashing you need to throwto external memory cardall necessary files (Fix, root) and it is desirable to clear the internal memory.

1 Turn off the phone, start Flashtool (instead of Flashtool, you can also useQuikIMG , instructions read here )
2 Holding "volume +" we connect the phone to the PC, the indicator should be onblueby color
3 Push the button "lightning "choose Fastboot mode
4 In the window that appears, select "Select kernel to Flash "
5 Find the coreboot.img (do not forget to choose the type of the .img file), click "open" the firmware process will begin
6 After successful firmware, the line will appear: "finished. Total time: X.XXX s"
7 stitchsystem.img (similar to items 3-5, just choose " Select system to Flash "and look for system.img)
8 Successful flashing log for system.img:
20/033/2014 23:33:24 - INFO - Selected system (system.img or system.sin): C: \ system.img
20/033/2014 23:33:24 - INFO - Flashing selected system
20/034/2014 23:34:18 - INFO - Please check the log before rebooting into system

9 Turn off the phone, boot into recovery (by pressing the button glitch + with a flash of a white diode when you turn on the phone and display the SONY logo)
10 Go to the Wipe point and put all the checkboxes except System, Micro SDcard and USB OTG (there should be a tick onCache, Dalvik Cache, Data, Internal Storage ), hold your finger on the slider, wait for the end
11 Returning to the main Recovery menu, go to Install, select Storage there: Micro SDcard (above) and look for a zip archive with a fix and install it. After installation, the recovery will prompt you to make a wipe of all the caches, be sure to do.
12 If you need root access, go back to the Install item and put the zip with the root. (SuperSu). At the end of the installation we again make the proposed wipe caches.
13 Returning to the main recovery menu, go to the Reboot item and select System.
14 Waiting for the system to load and enjoy the use of the new Android Lollipop.

Alternative installation method:
The method is suitable for installation on top of .283 and .292 firmware.

Before flashing you need to throwto external memory cardall necessary files (Fix, root).
1 Turn off the phone, start Flashtool
2 Holding "volume +" we connect the phone to the PC, the indicator should be onblueby color
3 Push the button "lightning "choose Fastboot mode
4 In the window that appears, select "Select kernel to Flash "
5 Find the boot.img kernel (do not forget to select the file type .img), click "open" the firmware process will begin
6 After successful firmware, the line will appear: "finished. Total time: X.XXX s"
7 Firmware system.img (similar to items 3-5, just select "Select system to Flash "and look for system.img)
8 Successful flashing log for system.img:
20/033/2014 23:33:24 - INFO - Selected system (system.img or system.sin): C: \ system.img
20/033/2014 23:33:24 - INFO - Flashing selected system
20/034/2014 23:34:18 - INFO - Please check the log before rebooting into system

9 Turning off the phone
10 Click on the "lightning "choose Flashmode
11 Select the (pre-downloaded) stock .283 or .292 firmware
12 Put a tick: in the sectionWipe - all jackdaws, Exclude - everything except PARTITION , in section Misc - all jackdaws removed . Stitching ...
13 Turning off the phone, loading into recovery (by pressing the button glitch + with a white diode flash when the phone is turned on and the SONY logo is displayed)
14 In the recovery, go to Install, select Storage: Micro SDcard (above), search for zip-archives with fix, root and install them one by one
15 Reboot the smartphone.

Notes:
  1. GAPPS set automatically when the smartphone boots. Throw them to the root internal memory (but considering that this memory is formatted during the firmware, it is necessary to throw these GAPPS after first successful launch of the system).
  2. If after loading it will not catch the net for a long time, restart again.

Nazal is unlikely, because need to install a custom kernel



Rep: (287)
* SergAkr, In my recovery it comes when I press the volume button up during the second flash of the indicator.

In power consumption, it shows that WiFi is always on, although the module itself is turned off and the "always search for networks" checkbox unchecked

and my lolik started up at last. Updated post with Lolik

Congratulations. I'll go in the evening



Rep: (19)
I used the lollipop assembly xenius9 for several hours, here is my opinion:
The interface pleases, notifications on the lock screen are definitely pleasing; the interface is smooth, but there are microfreezes in the caller when you open the list of applications and in general in animation, but to the undemanding eye will not be noticed; power consumption at the level of flow, until the difference is not noticed.
Camera, Wi-Fi, mobile Internet work.
Ruth could not be delivered, it does not load after installation through recovery
The camera button does not work at all

Rep: (1047)
This morning I normally installed the root and worked (true for the kernel from 20.11 and the system from 18.11, I did not install the earlier version myself).



Rep: (287)
drain power consumption

but it seemed to me a bit more gluttonous.
The camera button does not work at all

really doesn't work
...
It is impossible to go over the long tap from the curtain right into the settings except for WiFi and Bluetooth, and in no way add / change these buttons
And so quite a working firmware, there is a root, I stay on it. Anyway, there is no backup))

Rep: (1047)
In order to screw the camera button properly, you need to pick the framework services as cm11.
I think that this firmware is temporary. Soon SM12 will be released soon.
