[VK810] [altev] [CM13] Invisiblek's Unofficial

This thread is only for until/if @invisiblek opens his own thread. If he does, I'll link to his thread and close this one, or transfer the OP to him if he wants.

or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love my Tablet Again.


Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Thanks to:

• @invisiblek for building and permission to link to his CM13 builds folder, and all his work to get this to the point it is right now, including getting Mobile Data to work


• @Hnk1 for making me aware that the builds had started

Don't expect support from anyone in this thread. Help might come but it's likely that if you're experiencing a problem that @invisiblek is already aware of it, or it's a CyanogenMod issue that all ROMs will have. In the meantime, please feel free to communicate with other CM13 for VK810 users here to confirm/deny the existence of any issues you might have, or discuss any workarounds when possible.

Please mention what build date of CM13 you're on when you're discussing issues.

Installation Notes:

• It's smooth as butter.


• Flashing this definitely doesn't work with a newer bootloader. I recommend flashing this from TWRP v2.8.7.0 after a fresh flash of the 11A KDZ and downgrading the bootloader in order to install the initial Loki'd version of TWRP v2.7.0.1 and then upgrading to 2.8.7.0, or if necessary, first the 22B TOT and then the 11A KDZ after. All necessary instructions are in my [VK810.4G] [altev] most reliable way to root and install a custom recovery thread. I actually manually downgraded the aboot (bootloader) even though I was on 11A and my instructions at that link specify that downgrading the bootloader further wasn't necessary, so I haven't tested straight from 11A's bootloader.


• When I had tried @invisiblek's TWRP v3.0 for the VK810 in February (the current build that's available), I couldn't get it to work well enough. From what I recall, it had trouble accessing both internal and external storage, although it might've had trouble with USB OTG too. I believe his 2.8.7.0 for the VK810 had the same or similar issue as well.


• I use Slim Zero GApps for Marshmallow (6.x) with this, available at [GAPPS][6.0/5.1/5.0][arm/arm64] Official Slim GApps


• OTA's work and point to @invisiblek 's newer builds when they're available.


• Do not ask about when anything will be fixed, nor requests for features/new builds etc.

What's broke:

• Camera


• Brightness adjustment (I recommend Lux Auto Brightness or Lux lite by Vito Cassisi and it can be chosen to integrate with CF.Lumen by @Chainfire)


• Occasional black screen when you try to wake up the tablet. It's necessary to hold the power button in for 10 seconds or so to force turn it on, then either continue to hold the power button or let go and press again to turn boot the tablet back up.

Don't know if works: I haven't tried any version of Xposed yet including modules such as G3TweaksBox (made for stock but might still provide some functionality under CyanogenMod) or Greenify.
