Hey all. Been a while since my last release of anything, which was sense based, but I really wanted to start learning android and have a better perspective of it. I decided to dig a bit more into compiling android. Started horsing around with github and learned to start compiling my own builds from aosp wih the help from cmsrc, evervolv, and a few others githubs. Since the release of gingerbread to aosp, i moved away from sense. There are things that i do miss about sense, but the usability of the phone without it is just unmatched imho. Many people use or have used cyanogenmod. IMHO is a great open source project that has some of the best devs out there. I have always been more into the 'vanilla' look opposed to the themed and aftermarket. Recently i have been compiling gingerbread for the evo and mt4g and have had nothing but the best reviews. Basically the reason why i am here. Wondering if there was any interest in a few of my builds. Main reason from moving away from CM6/7 (cyanogenmod), ADW launcher and the extra added bloat(sorry) and themes. Battery life will always be one of my main concerns. Everything should work!
​
1.3 build is based off 2.3.7. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.35.7 (thanks cm team).
1.2.1 build is based off 2.3.4. (Thanks cm team) and cm kernel 2.6.35.7 (thanks cm team).

Q&A
Is this CM7?
No, this is a build that started from AOSP. However, some of the fixes and few features have been derived from the CyanogenMod Team, including the CM kernel.

This looks awesome!! I'm first to comment!! Woohoo...thanks mate

Totally sweet. Now you just need a 1.2 bootloader version. ;-)
I clicked on the gtab development section, saw Evervolv, and thought I accidentally went to evo development instead lol. Can't wait to try this out!
you really should indicate whether this is a 1.1 bootloader rom, or a 1.2 bootloader rom. it will alleviate many future problems that people have if they are flashing from the wrong bootloader.
it's only responsible to do so.
what bootloader do i need for install this rom
1.1 or 1.2
One of the slickest U.I.'s I have seen but most browsers and market quickly shuts down. I hope this can be fixed.

If you are using the following roms then you are still on BL 1.1
-Vegan froyo and GB
-Caulkin
-Tnt lite 4x or below- As I understand it, the version of tnt-lite that's on BL 1.2 is called Mountain Laurel now so anything else should still be BL 1.1. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
-CM7
- All the CM7 variants
- Stock Rom 3588 and below
There's not that many ROMs that use BL 1.2 yet. Roebeets newer roms including Bottle of Smoke and Clemsyns combo with Roebeets BoS.
If you still have questions or I didn't list the rom you are on, I suggest reading the thread where you downloaded your rom...just to be safe.
Flashing now. Just wondering if the if the High Definition Video Hardware Decoding works on this? But so far looks awesome!
screen shots?
hd acceleration work?
Is anyone else have trouble opening a browser (other than Opera, which is the only one that seems to work with this ROM)? How about Market, which also closes as soon as it tries to load the list of apps...??? If these issues can't be fixed it will be a shame because this is the most visually appealing ROM outside of Honeycomb.

[INFO] [i9020] CyanogenMod 9 Kangs

Just like king23adrianc's CM7 Kang thread, here's one for CM9 Kangs.
Kangs are unofficial Cyanogen builds built by members of the community. They're not supported by the CM team at all, and in many cases aren't supported by the person who cooked the kang.
Kangs can contain features (cherry picks) that haven't been committed into the official nightlies, so you get some pretty cool cutting-edge features that aren't in the official rom. Sometimes these features get built-in to the official CM roms, sometimes they don't.
If you're not familiar with flashing roms, this probably isn't the place for you. Read up on it a bit, make yourself familiar with what you're doing and ALWAYS make a backup of your rom, in case something goes wrong.
For the latest kangs, start at the end of the thread.
To start, here's a link to the euroskank kangs for CM9:
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/?id=crespo
Sweet! Lets get it started..
Here's a CM9 (alpha) kang I just compiled @ 6pm PST 11/29/11.
No Cherry Pick: Download (deleted)
Cherry pick version: Download (deleted)
-Dialer Landscape Mode
-Preferences: initial Preferences Activity, Provider and XML
-v3 RIL: another getDataCallState fix
-Revert "Bug 5003361: No Android Dreams in Settings / Display"
I appreciate those who make them without cherry picks. Thanks a lot
Also don't forget everyone that you need to fix super user after every flash and should also flash gapps everytime for the time being.

Usually you won't have to wipe, since it's the same base. It never hurts though.

The most urgent CherryPicks, just my thought (CM7s have these)

- status bar widget (power control widget)

If you click on the actual super user app it will force close until you remove it and download the one from the market. You can use root apps if you dont want to do all that but you can't click the super user app itself.

Can you guys tell me how is this rom?
I use koushik cm9 11.
Wifi? 3g/2g? mms? calendar sync? data usage? thetering? google talk video?
What else...
Is it smooth? What about cherry picks?
Whats the difference?
Why there is nothing in nexus s android dev forum? (many persons tell this rom is great)
What about the UI? Stock ICS? Launcher? Stock?
Sorry for asking u so many questions but I couldnt find anything
Thanx
what i've noticed about the euroskank builds so far:
CM power button options (screenshot, reboot recovery, ect).
Data usage seems broken, at least with the stock kernel. edit: kernel related, flashed different one and fixed.
I use the latest, seemingly unrleased gapps from http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111128.zip
I delete the Maps.apk from the gapps zip before flashing so I can install latest from market (or else you will be stuck with old version and wont be able to upgrade).
edit: rename or delete superuser.apk in /system/app/ and download from market. the one included in the rom forcecloses. No reboots necessary.
Ns4g???

[Discussion Thread] BlackEditionHD - 7hr08ik Edition [Work In Progress]

First and foremost i wanna send my thanx and admiration to Crowds for his amazing work with this ROM. Everything he has done has been amazing.
I am hoping to continue the work that Ricardo has done and carry on the expantsion and updating of this rom.
But i am new.
This will be my first ROM.
So i am calling for your help. I need to know what i need to do.
-What proigrams are the best to use
-How has Crowds done this work so far? I know its a port of FXP and MIUI, with some ICS elements but which? Do i start with FXP then blend MIUI over it? If so which parts?
-Which version of FXP (7.2 or 9.0)?
-Which version of MIUI?
Basically i am starting from scratch with the whole ROM dev. I am fast learner, a fellow geek, and i want to do this right. Please bare with me because i may ask stupid questions at times. I just need help.
So far i have a few things to read up on and try out. For now im just going to be faffing around seeing what i can do. But my main objective is to update and upgrade the current ROM with the new versions of FXP and MIUI. Then once i am confident with it i have a few ideas of my own that i want to try.
So far i have these that im going to read up on. If yuou have anymore sugestions or and info for me....please send my it

The good combination will be MIUI\CM9, because its newest thing what we can get, but its gonna be hard to do, specially if you do not have any previous knowledge about porting, developing, so for now you can start with fxp CM7.2
First get stable ROM, then start with modification of same one,my suggestion.
cheers

Almost CM 9.0 FXP !
Because 7.2 is Old ,
You need New Source & New Design !
i get that cm9.0 is the new and best one. but obviously im new to all this.....so i wanna know which fxp crowds was using and just start my expedition by updating what he has done....i know fxp has released cm7.2 AND cm9.0 both with fxp106
As im new i wanna start by following the road set before me.
So far this rom is FXP052 and miui
but which miui? and is it already cm9.0 or is it just cm7.2? porting a whole new rom to the one will be a big peice of work and i am brand new to this
It's a great initiative and I really gotta add the importance of the RTL fix for Arabic & Farsi Support, as I've installed the BlackEditionHD FXP25-MIUI but none of the RTL patches work as I do even know which MIUI version is being used?
Regards.

Whatever you do, don't put paid apps in your rom. I'm not saying that's what u were going to do. I'm just concerned for new devs. A few people have gotten in trouble for posting "warez" recently, so... yeah. Just trying to help
Not trying to offend, and if that isn't what you were talking about then disregard my ramblings.
And I suggest xloud, assuming you could get it to work... Not sure what mods need to be done for that.

hey guys
The rom is working freaking awesomly, but i need some help with my theme.
The rom is fxp + miui blend, miui on top of fxp. I have the theme i want saved, backed up etc. And i have the script set so it installs with the rom. Everything is fine with the install process, but when i install the rom, the theme is applied, but the lockscreen wallpaper, and homescreen wallpaper revert back to their stock images and not the images i have set.....
Obv i dont want to see a hd pic of the seaside...i want the images i have chosen. Can someone help?
Well I finally figured out where the hell the dam pictures go!
I think I'm ready to release the first version of the rom.
I'll post the thread links tomorrow when it's ready. But first I got a gf to cozy upto

Just got an Atrix, but...

Hi, there, guys!
A friend of mine gave me yesterday an Atrix 4G. I would like to unlock its bootloader, root it and hopefully install the best available rom for it.
But the thing is that I can't find where to start from
There are a lot of threads regarding what I want (I've been reading through the forums for the last two hours) but I am still at a dead end..
My main problem is that most of the topics are about 2.3.4 android version or AT&T Atrix models. Plus, most of the links are dead...
The Atrix I have now is android version 2.2.2 and System Version writes: Version.4.4.20.MB860.Retail.en.GB
As I said I would like to test it with custom roms, but for starters, I would be glad if someone could point me to a way to simply upgrade to 2.3.4 (I don't care for now for unlocked bootloader or root - just want to see how it is in 2.3.4, perhaps perform a backup and afterwards try my luck with custom roms..)
For the record, I tried Motorola Software Update and reported that I am using the latest version..
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
P.S.: Shame on me - wanted to post is Q&A forum.. Sorry for that - please move if necessary!!

Now I am about to follow Swiftks CyaogenMod Install Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19986512&post=234) and I hope I will succeed..
I will report the result - thanks a lot again!
He knows his stuff so following his guide should work out well for you, happy flashing!

I agree, that Swift guy is pretty cool.

Did that same thing a few weeks ago. It's much better on this side. CM7 is awesome!

Try the update first, go into settings, about phone and there you'll be able o get an OTA update.
Had already tried OTA - no joy..
Anyways, I've been using the Atrix since Friday and the thing is a real beast after everything I've installed.
I never close any apps - on purpose - I only "minimize" them pressing the home button. It always has around 500MB of free RAM. The thing is a speeding bullet..lol
I only wish it had a more "standard" screen resolution (some apps don't work full screen) and a better camera (it is good but not as good as the arc's)
Look into either 1080p camera on Olympus or for droid3 camera in the ATRIX forums that should give you the outstanding camera you are looking for and remember the ATRIX is VERY powerful and our devs are the best around B-) with their help and our hardware we can make the ATRIX just as good and usually better in any field compared to another phone >.<
Hit thanks if you found this useful

if you want good and fast rom you should try a Cm9 it's great almost stable ,and very quick . ( quicker than cm7 for sure ) i did not have any battery drying
go for CM9 and enjoy that ICS goodness =)
Which CM9 release are you referring to?
I have found:
[ROM] CM9 a multidevice collaboration by multiple devs
[ROM] Atrix CM9 [ADT's SelfKANGish builds]
[Kang] *Unofficial* CM9 and CM7 Kangs/ROMs
Is it any of these ?

I've ran the top 2 you referred to and both run great other than the known issues. My phone has better luck running the ATRIX cm9 [Ad's SelfKangish builds] not sure why but your experience may be different. Both roms are fantastic and are being updated frequently.

OK, thanks a lot!
I will try them and see how it goes!!!

I'm running the first one and I am amazed how stable it is. Going on three days and I don't plan on going back to cm7. So far the only thing I'm not liking is wifi speeds are not what they should be.

Vanir 4.3 Rom nightlies for Ovation

Hey all, Team Vanir just added Ovation to their official nightlies a couple of days ago. I haven't installed it as yet on my HD+ but if it's anything like the one on my N7, it will be great. It's an excellent mix of features from CM and AOKP with Team Vanir's special touches and tweaks.
The first nightly 09/24 has been released, give it a look.
Get it here, just scroll down to the Ovation build: http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/
EDIT: Currently, 09/24, 09/25 and 09/26 builds are not booting, just goes to a black screen. I pm'd one of the lead devs (DHO) and hopefully it will soon be rectified.

Thanks for posting this, actually saw your post on Vanir for nexus 7 as was thinking of upgrading the rom on that, but would have missed the ovation if you hadn't pointed it out, so much appreciated!
EDIT: my only concern before installing is whether trim is enabled or not, as I have a samsung emmc, though it is the 32gb version, I am reluctant to install as the nook was a ebay purchase so no warrenty.

Yeah, I also thought about the trim issue. If it's built from verygreen's device tree, it should be ok but I'm not sure. However, it may be a moot point as I am unable to get either the build from 09/24 or 09/25 to boot flashing with TWRP. It just goes to a black screen and has to be hard reset twice to get into recovery. Also just tried installing with CWM and that also was a no go.
Don't try installing at this time, I'm going to PM one of the lead Vanir devs and see what he has to say.

Same black screen/hard reset with Rom Manager/CWM.

Thanks for letting us know, will avoid until trim status is known and the rom is bootable.
If anybody wants to visit Team Vanir community on G+ I've posted a link here: https://plus.google.com/communities/111378032131473754160
Since I haven't heard back from the dev yet, I made a post tonight regarding the ovation builds not booting past the bootloader on G+. Maybe if more of us that are interested in this rom respond, we'll get some positive results. I haven't seen anything on G+ mentioning ovation and the dev I pm'ed hasn't been active on his XDA rom thread since 09/24. The build for 09/27 also doesn't boot, so he may not have even seen my pm and the Vanir team may not be aware of this issue with the rom.
Mike T
I am eager as well. Running it on both my Nexus floor and Samsung Galaxy S3. It's an awesome rom. Hopefully it will be fixed for Ovation soon!

I heard from killersloth the lead devs from vanir: nuclearmistake and DHO were working on fixing some errors for ovation. so I guess we should just wait.

Yeah, I saw that on KS's Slimbean thread. I wouldn't mind if KS became a Vanir maintainer. :good:

is this emmc or sd?
Why do they continue to upload night lies with the same black screen problem?

Only emmc. But, rom still not booting, devs working on it.

I believe it's pretty much autobuilt daily/nightly for all their supported devices, this way all commits in general are current. When a fix specific to our device is implemented, the rom will be up to date and ready to go.
I have heard from the dev, DHO and he is working on it. He said he feels confident that he will get it going. I have been testing each nightly as they come out but I'm hoping that he pm's me again to let me know when it's good to go.
Hang in there, hopefully...soon.
Mike T
Is it dho specifically who is working on it? I need to pm him I think just a few patches are necessary if not building cm.
Oh hell, propping up fans under my laptop now to try and get him some working nightlies.

Yeah, He is the one that pm'ed me back and one of the other devs, Prime Directive told me Ovation was DHO's deal.
LMAO! You and those fans. But you know what? You're still da' man, KS.
EDIT: If you get something going and want me to test, let me know.
Thanks,

The laptop man, it's so busted. If I had free time like I did before I would take up the offer from PAC ROM because they have remote build machines I believe.

OK, thanks. I'll keep watching.
Are their nightlies working?
I'm building now from their sources without any changes to try and help find the problem. Maybe I can look at some logs tonight and find something.

The last nightly I tried was 1004 and it still fails to boot. I see there's a 1006 build from nuclearmistake, haven't tried it yet but I don't think it will boot. Both DHO and nuclearmistake have builds, DHO stopped posting his as of 0930.
Hopefully, that means he has been working on it???
DHO builds: http://www.emccann.net/dho/3-Vanir-mirror/4-nighties/
nuclearmistake builds: http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/
Hope you find something to get this going on Ovation, thanks as always for your efforts.
EDIT: I see that they started a thread in the dev forum. Didn't notice it because it's in Original and I didn't think we'd ever have anything in original for this device. :laugh: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472029
