I've put countless hours of my spare time into this project and I deserve at least this (I'm not getting paid to do this). Free and open source doesn't mean without respect!

How to install:

  1. boot into TWRP recovery
  2. backup -> backup (create a nandroid backup of your current ROM)
  3. wipe -> advanced wipe -> wipe /system
  4. wipe -> factory reset
  5. install cm-12.1-xxxxxxxx-KonstaKANG-y560.zip
  6. (install L02/L03/L23/U23 patch if necessary - see FAQ below)
  7. install open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-xxxxxxxx.zip
  8. reboot system
  9. if/when recovery asks to install SuperSU - choose no

 
FAQ:

Q: I can't find developer options and performance settings, why?
A: Settings -> About phone -> Click 'Build number' several times
 
Q: I don't have reboot options in power menu, why?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced reboot
 
Q: I have no root, why? What is that hashtag on my status bar?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. Root management is now integrated as part of CM's Privacy Guard and you can manage per app permissions under Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard. You'll have a persistent notification in the status bar when you're running an app that uses root permissions.

Q: I have dual-SIM variant (Y560-L02/L03/L23). What do I need to do?
A: Add 'persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds' to /system/build.prop or alternatively 'setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds' in rooted adb shell/terminal session.

Q: I have Huawei Y5 Y560-U23. What do I need to do?
A: Install patch from this post.

hi KonstaT, Great that you started work on Y5. Just saw a very good price of €77 for this device. Is the external micro SD accessible by UMS or only MTP. (I am a linux user and MTP really is poor).
 Many thanks

Yeah, MTP and Linux is not the greatest combination. External sdcard can be accessed using UMS in CM12.1 and in my TWRP build as well. Internal sdcard is emulated (/data/media) so you can only use MTP/PTP for that.

Thanks for porting. Do you also have the original recovery to go back to stock?

Yes, stock recovery can be created from files within stock Huawei update.App (it's actually just a zip file on this device). I also have a dump of my original recovery partition.

I've added a TWRP flashable zip to return to stock recovery to the TWRP thread.

Thank you so much, KonstaT.  Used it for the past week with no problems.  Also, Xposed framework installed without any issues; I wasn't able to do this with stock.  http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118

Excellent work!

Good to hear everything is working for you. Though I wouldn't accept any issue reports if you have Xposed Framework installed anyway. ;)

heyy, you know where is a boot logo in stock rom?

I assume you mean the splash screen? It's in the splash partition as usual (/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash). Doesn't look like it uses any standard image format so you'll have to look into how to create one.

It's not a 'file' as such. It's a path to an eMMC partition. Dump it and give it whatever extension you like. ;)

When i want to get a png file from splash.img i got this 

Like said, I don't know what format it uses (doesn't look like any regular image format). You'll have to figure that out (maybe look into splash images on other Huawei devices) because I don't really care. :P

Installed the 31.1 build with wiping system, cache, dalvik and data (using sd card to install).

Have 2 problems, sometimes the camera app crashes. After starting camera it is focusing and then the camera does not respond anymore and get camera closed box.

Always getting cell broadcast messages. Tried to disable all warnings in sms app, but still happening. When I disable the process, it is okay for 1 day, after that it automatically restarts the process.

Using CM12.1 on my Nexus4, too and there all is fine with same sim. With original Software there aren´t this issues.

Yeah, camera seems to freeze if you use flash. It's a SELinux issue - (at least) one denial I haven't addressed. Never tested camera in low light conditions with SELinux enforcing before this. Just reminds me why I dislike SELinux bring up. :P There's always some small things that you overlook. Might release a patched boot.img in a bit or wait for February AOSP security patches to get merged and do a new build.

Not sure about cell broadcast messages and how it's supposed to work. I don't think it's used here in Finland or at least I haven't ever received any. Proper way to disable this is under Settings -> More -> Emergency broadcasts. Cell broadcast feature is enabled on all CM builds by default and I'd expect you're supposed to receive them if distributed.

Here's a patch for the SELinux/camera issue discussed above. Please attach audit log (/data/misc/audit/audit.log - in addition to logcat/dmesg) if you have problems that started with the lastest build but were working with the first one.

Also tried the way you described, still the same. Just found a solution, I removed the CellBroadcastReceiver.apk in system and all fine now, outside USA it seems to be not useful.

 

After flashing the patch with twrp, nothing changes, still the crashes. I will go back to first build.

Logs? Can't reproduce any issue with camera anymore. You could also try removing data for the camera app.

Very nice ROM! Good job. I am using it for daily use. I flashed the zip and now i am waiting to see if the camera bug is fixed. Waiting a port of cm 13 for our device! :D

I've put any new projects on hold because of the lack of proper kernel source. Huawei still hasn't responded to the numerous emails I've sent them. Not even one of the generic 'thanks for contacting us, we'll look into this' bullsht responses companies usually send out! Also got in touch with 'Huawei and honor representative' over at XDA and he promised to forward my message. Tried to contact him again and now haven't heard back from him either. Apparently Huawei is just another Chinese company that doesn't give a sht about GPL. I thought ZTE was pretty bad and Huawei was supposed to be the more reputable one - apparently I was wrong. Sometime it could take a loooong time for ZTE to release a source code but never really had any problem with it once it was finally out. You'd have to be totally incompetent to release an incomplete source code like Huawei has done for this device. Customer support is equally non-excisting with both companies. :P

I had other projects planned for this device, too (Firefox OS, Sailfish OS). Those are out of the question without a kernel source. CM13 is most likely doable with a prebuilt kernel but it gets somewhat hacky. Kernel would needs some updates for Marshmallow if you wanted to do it right (e.g. kernel need to be in line with display/media HALs). I haven't even started looking into CM13 for this device and I don't have any immediate plans to do so.

I don't understand what you mean. Installing apps works just fine, moving apps to external sdcard works just fine.
