Well, my experience so far is that even if the device meets with all the requirements, there can be some issues. Examples:
  • on my XA2, it works out of the box
  • on my Note 4 (treltexx) port (CM14.1 base) it only works/starts from the command line (not a biggie as I created a script for that and everything else work fine)
  • on my Nexus 5 (hammerhead) port (CM12.1 base) it starts but immediately stops (probably there are some other missing bits and bobs, the investigation is ongoing)
  • on my S2 (i9100) port (CM12.1 base) it doesn't start either from GUI or from the command line (I think it is similar to the hammerhead and it is also under investigation)

So, it worth a try.
