How does it compare to LOS in terms of stability (and features)? Well AICP-R seemed fine, but AICP-S is a bit early. But that apart it is roughly an LOS with a bunch of extra 'options' . I can not really fairly talk on the stability, as I'm not using neither Lineage nor AICP as a daily driver, but for tests only, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EskeRahn 5,427 Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 I must admit that I'm very close to giving up on AICP-S, since no one seems to be working on fixing the basic issues that has been there for over two months of initial release, and security updates over half a year old. So maybe I should look at sailfish instead.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having only 1 pro1, I'm staying with Lineage 19 as my daily driver. Once I have my Pro1x, my Pro 1 will become my experimental device to try Droidian, Sailfish, no google Lineage, etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a LOT of trouble first as can be seen in this thread. You can use the SAME boot image for AICP-S as for the previous AICP-R!!!! I use one from LineageOS from last year lineage_18.1-20210913-recovery-pro1.img . Others might work too (But the LOS 19.1 does NOT!) The only working Gapps package for android 12 based I know of is MindTheGapps (see this it is a bit 'fat', so hope that OpenGapps will make for 12 too. Their Pico is more than enough to me. Currently using: MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip Make sure to backup everything, as you are likely to need a factory reset for the first time installing AICP-S Once you got the files needed follow the usual procedure for flashing a Boot-image and a zip (see e.g this) Notice that when you reboot after flashing, it seems to go into a boot loop, but not so!! On the seventh boot(!!) after some 2-3 minutes it will actually launch AICP-S. If you are upgrading from AICP-R and (like I did) used the more lean Gapps package OpenGapps, it will request you to do a factory reset wiping everything. If you are NOT using Gapps there is a chance that a pure Gapps-free AICP-R can upgrade gracefully to AICP-S. It might even work if you used MindTheGapps for Android 11 with AICP-R. I have not tested either, but if anyone has and it works, please tell below, and I will update. Upgrading one AICP-S with MindTheGapps to a newer with same MindTheGapps works fine though 🙂 Any chance of installing AIX on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,427 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 There have been no new AICP updates in three weeks, and as I have not have found the time to install something else on the unit, I fetched and installed 20221123.

EskeRahn 5,427 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 "20230322" A lot of changes in their change-log, so optimistically tried again ..... Same as usual. So got a crazy idea. What would happen if I flashed the same image to BOTH slot A and B, wiped the user-data, and booted?? After the usual 8 x 30s boot-loop, it continues to boot another eight time, and ends back at the at the boot-loader. So what I has seen as wrong package content really most likely was the backup image!! I was never able to actually boot the image after the change they made after a few S-upgrades! So most likely I really need to extract the boot-image from the aicp-package, to get one working. It seems like I need to infect a pc/phone with 'pew' to do that, I'm not quite sure that will ever happen... I've seen various tools with .py code, but none .net based - i would have preferred that.

That being said, there are standalone payload extractors, like this one or that one. I haven't tested them though, as I have a lineage build environment anyway, which includes the official 'extract.py' tool.

Well if you fiddle extracting the boot image from the newest S image, as e.g. claude0001 suggests, I guess it is likely that it will work with that as boot-loader.

EskeRahn 5,427 Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 OK, I tried TLDR: Waste of time, AICP-S is BROKEN for Pro1!!! I gave AICP a final chance by infesting a windows-pc with Phewton (it was already infested with GIT) and extracted the boot.img from the zip. Following this guide https://wiki.lineageos.org/extracting_blobs_from_zips#extracting-proprietary-blobs-from-payload-based-otas (adjusted as needed...) Infested a PC with Python,https://www.python.org/ Downloads Download for Windows, Python 3.11.2 Found pip.exe and installed packages needed C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts\pip install protobuf C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts\pip install six (the second will be missing later in step 9 if not installed) I already had the PC infested with GIT, if you have not you will need to install that as well Clone repository C:\git\lin>git clone https://github.com/LineageOS/scripts.git Download the zip fromhttps://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/ (selecting FxTec and picked latest) Extracted Payload.bin from zip, and put it in C:\git\lin\scripts\update-payload-extractor, (where extract.py is) CD C:\git\lin\scripts\update-payload-extractor Made a workdir WRK Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python It will complain in step 9 if not set Found python.exe and ran C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe extract.py payload.bin --output_dir WRK renamed WRK\boot.img to something suitable and moved it to the PC used for flashing, and tried to use this flashed to boot_a, the usual way, including a factory reset. ...Did not work, after bootloop it ended in the bootloader again. Tried to flash the boot image to BOTH boot_a and boot_b, and retried (without gapps) - still no luck, same as above. So installed Lineage, and gave up on AICP-S as completely broken for Pro1!!!! But YES it is technically possible to extract the boot-image from a zip, but it is a lot of tedious steps to do so - slightly less if you already got Phewton obviously.That it was all in vain did not help my mood on the whole thing.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
