Here's an early taste of Lollipop for Cube iWork8 Ultimate (I1-T/I1-TD/I1-TWB/I1-TC) and iWork8 Air (I1-TF/I1-TFB). It is unofficial and unsupported by the CyanogenMod team. It's for advanced users only.

  4. wipe -> factory reset
  5. install cm-12.1-xxxxxxxx-KonstaKANG-cube_iwork8ultimate.zip
  6. (install I1-TD/I1-TWB/I1-TC/I1-TF/I1-TFB patch if necessary - see FAQ below)

Thank you for the build

I've found that 2 app "microsoft remote desktop" and "minecraft" will force close  when starting

Do these apps work with the stock firmware?

I tested Microsoft Remote Desktop and it's quite clear why it's crashing.

E/AndroidRuntime(21289): java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: "/data/app/com.microsoft.rdc.android-1/lib/arm/libRdpAndroidClientCore.so" has unexpected e_machine: 40

It tries to load an ARM library on a device that has x86 architecture. x86 devices use ARM translation layer (libhoudini) as a fall back because of this. I'm not sure if there's a problem with houdini here or something with the app. App is not optimized for x86 devices at least.

Stock firmware no problem for these 2 app

Hello, can I use this rom on iwork8 Air (l1-TF) ?

No. iWork8 Air has display with higher resolution. That means it also needs to use different display density and include higher density drawables in addition kernel changes. That's a little more than I can handle with a simple patch (I1-TD/I1-TWB). I don't know if there's other hardware changes as well.

It should be easy enough to do though if I had a device to test it with (same goes for other Cherry Trail tablets, too).

Thanks KonstaT,

Yes, you are right !  As my understanding, the difference should be only on the display density, is it able to make a modification on the rom ?

By the way, the machine will sleep to die on standby, is it the same situation on I1-T, I1-TD and I1-TWB ?  

Thanks a lot !

iwork8 Air (l1-TF). cm-12.1-20160716-UNOFFICIAL-KonstaKANG-cht_cr_mrd.zip and cm-12.1-cht_cr_mrd-I1-TD.zip work fine. The file needs to be fixed build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density = 240.
Thank you!
P.S. In RemixOS ro.sf.lcd_density = 240 does not work.

I don't understand what you mean. It enters deep sleep and wakes up just like any other Android device I've had.

Yeah, that's what I meant with density. It's still going to look bad when you stretch small mdpi drawables on a higher resolution display. You'd need a separate build that includes bigger hdpi drawables. You should also at least repack boot.img with kernel from I1-TF and not use the I1-TD one.

Remix OS sets density in default.prop and you need to split the boot.img to change that.

Thanks  KonstaT,  would you pls. tell me more how I can have a separate build ? How do I modify the build.prop to density 240 ?  

By the way, would you pls. advise if the TWRP recovery for iwork8 utlimate can also be applied to the iwork8 Air ? 

Finally, I can't download your rom from Mediafire, it stated "an error occured."

I'm a beginner, sorry for too many problems.

Thanks a lot !

It means that someone needs to build one from source like I have. There's dozens of ways to edit build.prop - Google search is your friend. I don't recommend you editing anything as this ROM is not going to work on your device like it should be.

Yes, you'd also need a separate TWRP build for iWork8 Air.

I'll look into if I can include hdpi drawables if/when there's a next build and make a patch for I1-TF. I'd need I1-TF stock firmware at least. Is it available for download somewhere?

Mediafire works just fine. Use proxy/vpn if it's blocked in your country.

But I work with firmware from I1-TD.
See screenshots. Icons slightly blurred. You mean it?

You can download the stock rom here below  :

http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jIpU9wU

PW : csn9

But the file size is so big (7.57GB) because it included folders of  Win10, Bios and android .

Yes, many things will look blurry because too small drawables are being stretched out. Also some apps will simply crash if it doesn't include the right size drawables (bundled Email app is one and there was another one, too).

Lol, it's just not possible to download 7+ gb from baidu. I'd only need the system.img and boot.img anyway. System/boot from TWRP backup will work, too.

Dear G.R. Userman,

Would you pls. teach me how to flash the rom  cm-12.1-20160716-UNOFFICIAL-KonstaKANG-cht_cr_mrd.zip and cm-12.1-cht_cr_mrd-I1-TD.zip ?  

I don't know which version of TWRP recovery is suitable for iwork8 Air, the machine is not rooted now.

Thank you !

All I could get from an image Makrium.
Maybe it helps.

That helps but only gets us half way. I'd still need the stock boot.img or dump/backup of the original boot partition. That even more important as it has the right kernel for your device.
