Installing Cyanogenmod 13 on Wileyfox Storm

Followed guide from the cyanogenmod wiki, but ran in to some problems:

  • The cyanogenmod recovery (cm-13.0-20160811-NIGHTLY-kipper-recovery.img) didn't have the 'back' menu items, so after a factory reset, I couldn't go to the main menu and install the main cyanogenmod
  • As the device doesn't have a removable battery, there is no way to switch if to 'off' (and the 'power' button merely selects the current recovery menu item)
  • The current opengapps (open_gapps-arm64-6.0-nano-20160812.zip) suffer from the "unfortunately, the setup wizard has stopped" problem.
  • The current opengapps also miss 'Google Contacts Sync', so no contacts are synced (Phone & contacts apps, gmail, google+ did have contacts)

Recovery missing back menu entry

Well, the recovery does enable the "Back" key. The only problem is that the LED under the 'Back' (and 'home' etc) hardware buttens on the Wileyfox Storm isn't ON, so I didn't see it. But just pressing aproximately where you would expect the "Back" or "Home" hardware buttons will take you back one entry in the menu tree (or to the top of the tree for the 'Home' hardware button).

unfortunately, the setup wizard has stopped

As mentioned here, from the adb shell, do:

pm grant com.google.android.setupwizard android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

Now going into the adb shell wasn't easy, as for me the usb debugging didn't work. But over the network it did work.

no contacts are synced

Now everything was working, except the 'contacts' and 'Phone' apps didn't have my google contacts. This appears to have been fixed by installing google contacts sync.

adb USB connection

Adb doesn't see the phone over USB. To make it work (source):

echo 0x2970 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
