Wileyfox Storm Cyanogenmod

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

The only way around this that I found was to pres and hold the volume down and power for more than 10 seconds. This will reset the device -- but it will go into a normal reboot (volume down and power only go into recovery when pressed when phone is OFF).

So, for the simple

• do factory reset
• sideload cyanogenmod
• sideload opengapps

I used:

• boot recovery
• select factory reset
• Now, while still in that factory reset menu, press and hold volume down and power for more than 10 s, and very soon (but not immediately) after the reboot release them and press them again, (or was it only power??), somehow making the phone switch off. NOW you can press volume down and power for about 2 seconds, and it goes into recovery again, allowing you to continue:
• sideload cyanogenmod. This failed a few times, probably because I didn't manage to kill Cyanogen OS soon enough duing its booting, causing it to undo the factory reset.
• sideload opengapps.

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.
