PRO1, AICP 17.1 (Android S) Official Build. ****BUGGED ****

[EskeRahn 4,513]

New version of AICP 17.1 (Android S) is available for download here: https://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/

aicp_pro1_s-17.1-WEEKLY-20220713.zip

I was super optimistic and went from 16.1 with OpenGapps to 17.1 and MindTheGapps 12 in one go, without a factory reset (=wipe).
...and that did not go well,,,, I got a boot-loop
(I used the recovery-image from Lineage lineage-19.1-20220711-recovery-pro1.img)

Then did a factory reset, and it booted - obviously with everything gone... But not happy


Tried to reflash including factory reset - went into boot-loop again....

Then tried to flash WITHOUT GAPPS (with yet another reset...,)

New boot-loop...
After some (10?) iterations it asks me to wipe (again),

and doing so allows it to boot with above message again....

So currently severely broken.....
Though not totally useless... (e.g. both camera and fingerprint reader works)
So WAIT for new version!!!!

ADD:
Tried a clean gapps-free and wiped AICP-R, booted and skipped all wizards.
And  then did a AICP-S flash without wiping.
...and got exactly the same behaviour as above.

ADD:
Also tried the flash&wipe with SIM and SD-card removed - same result.

Any chance they got their hands on a pre-production Pro1x and forgot to label the ROM properly.  Lol

He he. If so I doubt things would work as relative well as they did... Especially the camera

But is a bit odd that it is 'released' in a state where I can not even do a clean wiped GAPPS-free flash and boot it.... So I assume that in special conditions an upgrade might work.

An obviously thing to try would be a clean gapps-free wiped AICP-R and  then do a AICP-S flash without wiping. I have not tried that (yet?) Tried, no cigar...

(I noticed on the AICP download site that at the least some devices are on their third iteration of 'S', e.g. Pixel 5a, so hope we will get a less buggy version soon)

[EskeRahn 4,513]

Flashed todays release aicp_pro1_s-17.1-WEEKLY-20220727.zip, with factory reset

And it is the same as above. with and without MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip

Goes directly into bootloop, and after about 10 failed attempts asks for a new factory reset, and after that continues with the above splash on top of the setup wizard.

(Did not bother to flash back to AICP-R, just turned it off, awaiting a usable version, hopefully next week...)

[EskeRahn 4,513]

I have tried to report it here, hope this is the correct place? Though I doubt it as this got #1
@Sean McCreary ? @tdm ?

I am backing up my phone as I type. Afterwards I will try to flash 17.1 after a reset and let you know the results.

99.99% sure it will not work for you either, but thanks for trying.

[DieBruine 367]

Yup, constant boot loop. Wiped it first, sideloaded the rom, signature error, flashed anyway. keeps it in the loop.

 I had decided yesterday that I will be selling this Pro1 (because Pro1x). So I don't mind a little experimentation. 
Any others you recommend 😅

Flashing Stock 20200825 😁
Finished flashing stock, relocked bootloader and GPS working again...

Finished

It exits the bootloop after about 10 iterations, with a request for a new wipe though.

[EskeRahn 4,513]

Minor bug: It can forget to respect the screen time-out, so drained from 30% to 5 % in 2½ hour. (And then was in the no-charging mode, until boot...)

[EskeRahn 4,513]

Flashed today's release aicp_pro1_s-17.1-WEEKLY-20220803.zip, with factory reset and no Gapps

And it is the same error as above. Boot-loop some ten 10 times, asks for Reset, Boots with error screen, and all seems to work, except this splash screen on each boot.
(But to make things clear, it is 'only' on the first try after flash that it requires a reset)

[EskeRahn 4,513]

I Just tried to reflash AICP-S on top of AICP-S, with NO factory reset, and this goes much better, though not 100% smooth.

• It still enters a boot-loop attempting to boot after the flash is done...
  BUT it eventually DO boot into AICP-S with things preserved from last time. 😁
• It still present the splash screen that something is terribly wrong on boot...
  BUT after that, things seem to work fine (until you do the next boot).  😁

So though severe bugs they are NOT show-stoppers any more.
You will still need a factory reset going from AICP-R to AICP-S, But though sad, that is tolerable.

Minor issue: Screenshot works a bit oddly, as it seems you need to mark the portion of the screen you want to copy every time.
It could be me that just have not guessed how to easily get the entire screen,... (double tap does not work, gives a miniature cut of the rectangle between my two taps...)

Did you check if screenshot is available from the square button multi-taking screen?

Screenshot is indeed available, but it enters a mode where you can select what to save, clicking and dragging, and the default is NOT the entire screen.
Until selected only a cancel 'button' is available. Once dragged both an accept and the cancel buttons are available.

Okay, I guess AICP did it differently.  In Lineage 19, I get a screenshot button that takes the full screen by default, but also offers an edit and share button.  Then again, maybe this is a Nova launcher.  What about the power button (you may have to add the screenshot button in power button settings)?

I'm so far staying on Lineage 19, and don't remember the differences with AICP-R, so my advice may not be useful.  I wish they would get AICP-S fixed.

Actually I just today found out that it is not as bad as the initially transition led me to assume.

I saw that, but at least until I have my Pro1x, I'm not going to trust it as a daily driver.  Once I have my Pro1x, I'm planning a lot of experiments with my Pro1.  😉
