You read the title correctly.
HDMwIn now supports HDMI out on gingersense. Congrats to TeamWin for this fine release. I have been waiting for HDMI out support for a while.

This new kernel is a complete rewrite of the app. The functionality is now fully automatic and no longer requires a separate app. The team has said they do plan on releasing an App to allow those who wish to tinker with settings to do so, but otherwise, a seperate app is unneeded. Gone are the daemon downloader loops.
More indepth information is available here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-central-exclusive-hdmwin-gingerbread-first-look
How long did it take you to perfect HDMwIn for Gingerbread?
I've spent over 100 hours getting all the little details right and all the algorithms working smoothly. I anticipate another 10-20 hours until all the wrinkles are fixed.
So HDMI just outputs on its own? The user doesn't need to do anything?
Exactly. The user plugs in the HDMI cable, and it just works. The user is welcome to make adjustments via the UI, but there's generally no need. But there will always be someone who is fussy and wants it to lock rotation, change scaling or modify the overscan defaults.
Did there not used to be auto-rotation? And does auto-rotation work for everything? I noticed it worked in both Nova and the YouTube app.
There was a rudimentary version of auto-rotation in old builds, but that required the UI to read the sensors. This consumed massive amounts of battery, and performed poorly. This new method requires no extra power, and offers a smoother experience to the user. Any application which natively handles rotation (either fixed, like Nova, or dynamic, like Messages) will work out-of-the-box. As for YouTube, YouTube isn't mirroring. It uses native HDMI support for Gallery videos and YouTube videos. That was one of the great new features. You no longer need to disable mirroring to use YouTube. It switches automatically.
You mentioned there's now YouTube app support. Is there also support for videos played in the browser app?
Only the YouTube app and Gallery app support HDMI out-of-the-box from HTC. So when those apps run, you'll have different output on your TV from your device. If you're playing video (or anything else) on the device in a player which doesn't natively handle the EVO's HDMI port, you'll get full mirroring. If the app is HDMI-aware, you'll get the app's intended behavior.
Are there any performance enhancements in the new HDMwIn? How are the scrolling speeds compared to the previous version?
We're using the same "Silky Johnson" technology which drove our previous accelerated kernels, so we're seeing the same smooth responsiveness and performance. Because we now do aspect scaling a little more accurately, it's possible the GPU isn't quite as taxed as before, but we haven't felt a noticeable difference. The device no longer has a polling loop running in the background, so that helps battery life and performance as well.
You mentioned there's a custom kernel involved. What kind of features does this kernal support? Are other kernals supported?
I always build our new features directly on top of the HTC kernels. Once we release the kernel and source code, we work with other kernel developers to get our code integrated into their kernels. This kernel has all the latest EDID fixes (for people who would plug in a TV and have the phone immediately crash) as well as the HDMI mirroring.

Warning!!
The kernel has been released on Kernel Manager. This is a free app available on Android Market. Before installing this kernel, please nandroid your phone. This is an alpha kernel. There may be instabilities and other issues. Be aware that installing this kernel will override any other custom/stock kernel you may have installed. You will lose the abilities of those kernels (such as overclocking, HAVs, etc.). This requires root. Do NOT use this kernel with an ASOP rom (MIUI, CM7, etc.). An ASOP version is coming according to the devs.
How to install:
Apparently, kernel manager has issues with the HDMwIn kernel, so please flash from recovery manually instead.
- Run Kernel Manager and approve the superuser request.
- Press menu and select 'Advanced Options'. Ensure 'Flash automatically' isn't checked.
- Select Load Kernel List.
- Scroll to the bottom of the list.
- Select PoonSense 2.3.3.
- Press Download + Flash Kernel.
- Using a file manager, navigate to root of SD card. sdcard/kernel-manager/agrabren contains a .zip file callled "2.3.3-1-793-HDMwIn-Sense233-Alpha-signed.zip". That file is also attached to this thread.
- Move that .zip file to the root of your SD
- Reboot into recovery
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
- Flash the .zip file.
- Reboot
- Enjoy HDMwIn.
Also, agrabren has updated his kernel due users having issues with blank screens. If you guys are having issues, please use his newest kernel: build 793. That version is now available on Kernel Manager and attached to this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17074174&postcount=1864
Old method of install. Causes Wifi errors and other bugs, use alternative method above.
Code:
[B]How to install:[/B]
- Install Kernel Manager from Market
- Run Kernel Manager and approve the superuser request.
- Press menu and select 'Advanced Options'. Ensure 'Clear Cache' and 'Clear Dalvik Cache' are checked.
- Select Load Kernel List.
- Scroll to the bottom of the list.
- Select PoonSense 2.3.3.
- Press Download+ Flash Kernel.
- After the reboot, enjoy HDMI mirroring. There is no app to start or configure. It just works now. Plug in an HDMI cable and you are good to go.
Excellent! Can't wait to try... of course I just lost my HDMI cable

Is this kernel godmode compliant?

Hi Guys,
I have a simple question, Is this kernel compatible with the Stock Ver on Gingerbread ?
Also is this kernel support Wireless N ?
Thanks

Since I didn't hear an answer on this, I downloaded the kernel from Kernel Manager (poonsense 2.3.3) made a backup of Synergy RC2+Godmode. Flash was sucessful, ROM booted with no problems. When I get home in 4 hours I will hook up my HDMI cable and test functionality.
Is anybody having WIFI problems after flashing? I flashed last night, this morning I get "Error" under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> WiFi (the word Error is right below the word Wi-Fi; attempting to click the checkbox does nothing. It stays unchecked).
Might be a coincidence, as I was also updating my GPS driver last night as well.

This will happen if you flash the new kernel through kernel manager. All you have to do is flash the kernel manually and everything *should* work fine.
Go into recovery, clear cache and delvik. Then go to flash file from sd, scroll to the folder called kernel manager, then open the agrabren folder and there will be the flashable zip. Note, this only works if you have already downloaded the file through kernel manager. Otherwise you will have to find the zip file in the dev area. I will include a link soon to the zip.
Find the link here... Second post down (I think)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987592&page=188
P.S. Always Nandroid Backup prior to any flashing... I am no pro, this is simply the method that worked for me.
I hope this helps, it worked for me the exact same way on all 3 of my EVO's.
Thanks to agrabren and all who contributed, this is one amazing piece of work!! Everything works flawless!

I didnt use Kernel Manager to flash it, I downloaded the kernel, booted to Ra Recovery, backed up my current ROM, then wiped Cache 3x, and Dalvik 3x, then i manually flashed the zip via install zip from SD Card, and my WiFi still errors out. So what you said is irrelevant to the issue. I appreciate your attempt to try and fix it, but the fix is not a fix.

Try using the newest kernel version attached to this thread. Agrabren fixed some issues and updated the kernel to a new version. Make sure to flash manually and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
I've updated the instructions and attached the newest kernel version to this thread.

I downloaded and flashed the kernel at 2:05pm today, the Kernel I flashed was
2.3.3-1-793-HDMwIn-Sense233-Alpha-signed.zip
Which after looking is the kernel you have attached to the OP. So that won't do it. I do believe this kernel is incompatible with Synergy+Godmode. But for the Dev's sake here is my logcat.

Not saying who is right or wrong for sure, but my wifi also did not work after flashing this from kernel manager. I wiped from recovery (dalvik and cache), and then flashed the zip from within TWRP, rebooted and everything was fixed. So for me the fix was a fix.
@ABBUB, I thanked you for your fix

Yes but are you using synergy godmode, because that is what I am using if so, then I will temporarily flash twrp and flash the radio for a third time.

I'm assuming you mean kernel when you say radio cause otherwise, you are flashing the wrong thing.
If you are still having wifi issues after flashing the latest kernel, try using the fix from here:

That will rewrite your broken wifi driver and hopefully fix that issue.

Nope, not using Synergy, I am using MikeG. I thought I read somewhere in the Synergy forum about special flashing instructions for those using "godmode"
Awesome can't wait for this to be merged into a Tiamat kernel!
My replacement HDMI cable arrived just now so I tested it- mirroring works great on MikG 2.45

Sweet! I'm currently running Calkulins plus your V9 kernel and was getting ready to deal with the additions you just made standard! Awesome timing! Can I just clear Cache & Dalvik and then flash (& fix permissions) or would you recommend the full blown Format All then flash?
I am using a very similar combo and it is very stable it will be nice to have it all in one zip. Many thanks.
Can anyone download the file? I can't seem to.
Nevermind, finally got it.

I've enjoyed your kernel work in the short time I've had my G-Tab. Does this mean you're done w/ the G-Tab kernel making game since it sounds like you'll be returning your G-Tab?

You have to copy the apk over to system/app folder. You'll need root explorer or something similar.
Thank you in advance for your work. I'm waiting for gTablet I just ordered yesterday from Woot. Hopefully it will show up next few weeks.
Ran this ok for half the day, then pressed power in attempt to wake from sleep and it rebooted. Now it's stuck on the honeycomb boot animation. Any ideas?

Try going to recovery mode and wipe cache, the clear Dalvik-cache (it's under Advance). Then fix permissions (Also under Advance) then reboot. Hope that helps.

I was wondering the same thing as the poster you replied to. I will get root explorer, but where would we find the thumb keyboard that I attempted to install (paid for it). Which folder? Thanks in advance.
With root explorer, go into data/apps and copy the thumb keyboard apk. Now back out and go into system/apps. Make sure you select mount R/W at the top of the screen. Now paste the apk in this folder. Reboot. Now just long press in a text box and choose thumb keyboard in the input method.

Multi-boot
In fact, users in China use the U8800, multi-system has been used for a long time.
So, now I will use my broken English to tell you how to use multi-system
First, you need The extra two partitions in the 4G space. you could use twosys-partition.zip to get The extra two partitions 15&16
download partition package:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=787404&stc=1&d=1321675310
And
The second system-specific recovery system
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=787413&stc=1&d=1321675310
put the twosys-partition.zip and you like rom's zip into Sdcard
rename the recovery_4.0.1.5_en_sys2.img to recovery2.img , then place it to /cust
Boot into recovery,flash this package directly, same as flashing a ROM.
After flashing go to advanced options, choose to reboot to recovery.
Go into recovery again, flash this package again directly, same as flashing a ROM.now you will have The extra two partition 15 and 16
OK, let's flash two system into you phone
Go into recovery again, flash you like rom's zip
boot into first system, you could use RootExplorer access /cust, rename the recovery.img to recovery1.img, rename the boot.img to boot1.img,rename the recovery2.img to recovery.img.
reboot you system into recovery, now you recovery is second system recovery,you could flash the 100911-cm7,it will auto flash into second system.
reboot system, you will into second system (CM7)
if you want change you system to first, you could use RootExplorer access /sbin/gk, you will found some .sh files,Execution the 8-ChangeSys will auto rename all
img file then auto reboot to first system.
you could copy the 8-changesys.sh to any place let you change system easy.
restore offical partition ： download
Important：only the 100911-CM7 can flash into second system, other ROM only flash into first system
please backup your data, because you will lost all data in phone
wow,great! big thx geno!
great work。hope the bug be fixed soon
great~thanks for hard work~wait for a good cm7 for u8800
Wow cool. What's working/not working? Did you compile a new kernel or modify the kernel of the Vision (or something else)?
Good work , thanks for the share
Excited to see this working a lot more
waiting for the next update

Are you the developer?
of course he is
Wow, that's amazing
good job ,THX very much
Awesome Work. It reboots every 2 minutes almost exactly. Which is probably a good thing, too much awesome at once may make my head explode. I ran ADB logcat for you if that helps:
http://pastebin.com/kZddgHpN
I'm no dev but it looks like something is wrong with the DHCP setup or rmnet0 (which i believe is related to the mobile data). I'm sure you know more. Once again, it's 2 minutes of pure awesome, then a reboot lol. Stockwell/Neopeek may know more.
Okay finally had some time today to look at this rom and I was close with the rmt_storage thing.. the 2 minute rebooting thing is because the huawei rpc service (system/bin/oem_rpc_svc) isn't being started during boot (this calls rmt_storage periodically so that's what threw me off). If you manually call it after booting then it won't reboot.
I'm not sure yet why the rpc service won't start during boot though.. might need to look at the boot logs a bit more.

Hi. I'm getting an error installing.
any ideas?
I've tried renaming the .zip to update.zip but I get the same problem.
edit: Ok, fixed it by using genokolars recovery
oh，there are so many bugs,so i want't to update
it's necessery!!!!!!!!
Timing auto reboot
What does it mean?
This Rom is also available for Samsung GT-I9000 variant from HERE.
There is also a port for X-Bean from GT-I9000 from HERE.
This is it folks. If you think you've seen fast, you're in for a surprise! Please NO derivative work without permission.
LANIGHT is a pure AOSP build, meaning it is NOT CM or built from CM source, so please do NOT ask for CM features. However, it does use device/hardware files from CM10 and rest from Nexus S.. so any device specific problems that is in CM may or may not be in LANIGHT. If you don't like AOSP, move on.
I will rarely post on the thread mostly because of well known reason. It is a development thread, if you can't flash or download apps(Gmail and such) from market or simpler tasks, YOU ARE spamming the thread. Help yourselves by flashing stock firmware from Kies. Remember, I can't fix stupid or lazy. Please read the whole OP and search before you start typing. There has been NO bug that i have faced since my first release except the ringtone problem(4.2)(SOULTION) which has been solved with the latest release(5.2). If you have WiFi problems, flash anything 2.0 and above or below 5.2 (For 5.2 FLASH THIS.) because there is no telling what is the issue, i didn't face that issue so i don't know unless you provide log.

FAQs are HERE.
Here's what you can do if you are facing battery drain problems(I put together this battery help thing back in Darkyrom website. Out-Dated but most of it still applies):
- Toggle airplane mode couple of times
- Calibrate the phone and read the guide(There are some helpful tips) OR
- use dark themes and wallpapers, avoid live wallpapers. OR

- Try a different kernel OR
- Try a different modem OR
- uninstall tw4 OR
- try fast dormancy OR
- Download Juice Defender OR
- Try search for "CSC" either on google or on here and pick the right country (Does not apply for US users) OR
- Go to "Applications / Settings / Display / Animation / No animations."
- Go to "Applications / Settings / Applications / Samsung Apps" and check "Disable"
- Go to "Applications / Settings / Location and Security" and check "Use Network", "Using GPS satellites" and "Using help of sensor" (off course "Using GPS satellites")

No reason, just a bit cautious. Will update kernel in future.
EDIT: Trying out newer kernels to see which one works and which one doesn't, use this kernel for now unless you wanna help test newer kernels.

Thanks for that. Hows the rom feel like? snappy or what?
EDIT: Not sure about the latest since he been using LVM partitioning on 08/20 onwards? I'm not sure this rom is compatible with it? If it is then its all the reason for me to support this rom till the HB exist.
EDIT EDIT: I might have to steal some of your init.d tweaks from your MIUI rom for my next version

What do you mean? Try flashing 1.0.4 datadata cappy kernel.
EDIT: Flashed this build 4 times and still no problem with wifi or kernel. Did you wipe?
yea i wiped several times, ill try kernels and modem combos again again
oh and also ext sd card wouldnt mount in USB mode only internal so im guessing its kernel related again

No, listen just flash JVT or whatever modem you used to use on your previous JB build. Why are you swapping kernels? I don't understand. Did you have this problem before?
EDIT: Also, let me know which datadata kernels work for you. I need to know for my future release.

This is an old kernel and i choosed it for cautious purposes. Please don't poke around and cause yourself problems. Flash X-Bean or CM10 or AOKP first and try this rom. May fix it.
About the Ext SD card. I don't have an External SD card to test so that's why i put in the op it's untested. Not necessarily kernel related.
i did flash a modem i used with CM10 and wifi still couldnt turn on, and USB mount of ext sdcard problem was with kernel it came with right out the box. thats why i swapped kernels, but yea ill let u know which datadata kernels i use. just gotta find those kernels. havent kept up with all the new stuff and just saw this at the top of the forum
i been flashing this phone for years so i have a lil bit of clue of what im doing. i can usually solve some of my problems
PA-JB4.3 for Canadian Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** Disclamer ***[/SIZE][/B]
THIS ROM IS FOR THE CANADIAN SGH-I757M ONLY... DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANOTHER DEVICE!
By flashing this ROM, you are voiding your phones warranty (Unless you return it
to complete stock which is possible, but beyond the scope of this thread). You
also agree that I will in no way be held responsible in the event that your
device becomes bricked (Not likely to happen). In addition, you are responsible
to take the necessary backups of your apps, data, sms, contacts, calendar events, etc.
If you agree, then please continue on ;)[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RECOVERY REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
Due to the addition of user control in PA-JB4.2/PA-JB4.3, you are required to update
your recovery to a supported recovery. As of this writing, the latest available
version is CWM6.0.3.9/Philz Touch 6.07.9 for the SGH-I757M.
If you flash the new ROM with the old incompatible recovery, you risk loosing
your sdcard under a bunch of subfolders.[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RADIO FIRMWARE REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
As of PA-JB4.2, ICS radios (I757MUGLH2) are no longer supported. You must download the new JB radios (I757MUGMC5).[/COLOR]
Introduction
It's finally here :-D ParanoidAndroid JB4.3 (Android4.3.x) for the Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M). Among the most notable new features are new adreno graphics drivers with triple buffering (this is project butter). Among the most notable features in PA is the ability to set on a per/app basis, the colour and dpi. Other sought out features are HALO (onscreen notification and quick app access), and phablet mode which makes apps load as if they were on a tablet. This makes them use the tablet layouts instead of the phone layouts.

FAQ
Q. The UI feels very slow, how do I speed it up?
A. This ROM does not seem to run very well while on the Interactive governor. Go to Settings -> About Phone and tap on the Build Number 7 times to activate the Developer Options and the Performance Settings. Then open Settings -> Performance and change the Governor to "OnDemand" and the I/O Scheduler to "Deadline". This will get you the best operation possible from this ROM.

APN
Use the Bell Flex APN. You can select it by going to:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
This helps fix some issues with VPN and some other system services.
Governor & I/O Scheduler
The Interactive governor does not work well on this ROM, so you must change it to "OnDemand" and the I/O Scheduler to "Deadline". To do this, got to Settings -> About Phone and tap on Build Number 7 times to activate both the Developer Options and the Performance settings. Then go to Settings -> Performance and change the Governor and I/O Scheduler as mentioned above. Do not forget to check the box for "Set at boot" so that it gets set every time you boot the phone.
Logcat what is it and how do I get one?
A logcat is the system log of events that occur on your device. This log provides the developers with some useful information pertaining to crashes and other bugs you may encounter while using the ROM and/or apps running on the ROM. Getting a logcat is generally a very simple thing. Just open your terminal emulator on your phone and type the following commands without typing the $ as it denotes a command on the command line:
$ su
$ logcat -v long > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command above will ask you to grant superuser permission to the terminal emulator which you must accept. The second command will create a file at the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt and then start writing the logs to this file. Since the logcat is a continuous function, your terminal emulator will not return you to the command prompt after the second command as it will continue to write logs until you stop it by pressing the x to close the emulator.
If you are experiencing an issue with an app, then you need to do the steps above to get the logcat recording, then press your home button so that you don't close the emulator, but put it in the background. Then you do the action that causes the bug to occur and then open the emulator and terminate it to stop the log from writing. this ensures that the error is located somewhere around the end of the log and makes it easier for us to spot
What is dalvik-cache and why do I need it?
To explain dalvik cache, you must understand how an app is pieced together. An apk (android app) is like a zip file and contains a bunch of files inside. Two important files to note are the resources.arsc and the classes.dex files. They are compiled versions of the resources (images, sounds, xml files) and classes (source code files) of the app. When android boots into a ROM for the first time, and everytime you install an app, the system performs an optimization called dex optimization which means that is pulls the dex file out of the app and places it into what is called your dalvik cache. The system can then pre-load these dex files and allow the app to start quickly.
Dalvik cache is stored in two locations, at /data/dalvik-cache for user apps and at /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps. We unfortunately have a very small partition for /cache, only 100MB and this sometimes causes a side effect on first boot where it fills up to much with apps that only ever run on the first boot to setup the system and then other dex files cannot be written to the /cache partition which causes them to Force Close (FC). The trick in this situation, is to bear through the FC messages to get the system to the home screen, then reboot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache from the Advanced sub-menu. This will delete all the dex files in both locations I mentioned above and will force the system to regenerate them upon reboot, and this time, those 1-time running apps don't start up and don't end up being optimized which allows the necessary dex files to be created for the apps that were FC'ing.
I have moved what I could from the system partition to the data partition to spare some extra space on /cache but this still sometimes happens, especially as the ROM's get slightly bigger every new major version.
Awesome! A PA build! This are coming along with this device TF, great work. Ill install as soon as I get bored of your KK build, still using that as a daily driver for now haha

No, it still has the old cache. I'm working on a way to make it permanent and from first boot.
This will be implemented after I figure out the fstab file.

Well my morning routine of perusing your threads is taking a little longer TF. Lol.
I tried the pa build and no hiccups. I find it somewhat sluggish compared to my preferred slim ROMs.
I was thinking since you seem to be on a roll. What are your thoughts on an AOKP build? I have always enjoyed the features it has. I was messing with porting it with no success. Stuck at boot animation.

It's definitely more sluggish. Did you change the governor and io scheduler to "OnDemand" and "Deadline" respectively? These provide the smoothest operation of this particular Rom which is why I had to add back the performance settings from CM which requires fairly extensive porting.
How are you "porting", by building? If so, you should check out my github. All of the code is there for our device and it's proprietary blobs. You will need to modify the build to work with AOKP, but most of the work has already been done by me in maintaining an updated device tree.
You would most likely need to modify the vendor/aokp files to include our device. Best to create a github account for managing that. Abs you would Assisi have to change done things in our device tree tree, such as cm.no probably changes to aokp.mk abs cm.dependencies probably changes to aokp.dependencies. Best to find a skyrocket device tree for AOKP if you can and then you can see how they did it. Then just diff the two folders to see where the differences are and modify as necessary.
I'll see what I can find, but I want planning on an AOKP, but rather an omni when it becomes more stable. And to my knowledge right now, there is an issue with the emmc brick bug code and that has to be fixed before I bother.

No not building. Not that far advanced yet. I was just doing the amateur cut and paste using an aokp ROM for skyrocket. Thanks for your info. Hope to learn more in days to come.

I actually found a fix for this (I think) and released a patched kernel in the CM-10.2 thread. I was going to wait a week before updating the other kernels, but since you are in need, I'm building it right now. Please give me a little bit to test it after it's built. About an hour or so and I'll post a link
New Kernel Fixes Vibration Issue
So here is that new kernel I promised. This kernel implements a fix to ensure that all modules get loaded on each boot. It's still in testing phase, so if you experience no vibration at any time please let me know. I've been running the new kernel for almost 2 days now and have not lost my vibration at all, even after aggressively rebooting the phone several times. I'm pretty confident that this is the fix, but as I said, it's still in testing.
Remember to take a nandroid backup before flashing just in case something goes wrong. Then simply flash the new kernel without wiping anything and reboot the phone. You can verify that you are running the new kernel by going to Settings -> About Phone and check that you are running kernel dated Jan. 8, 2014.
DO NOT FLASH THIS ON MY OTHER ROMS. DOING SO MAY GET YOU INTO A BOOTLOOP. NEW KERNEL RELEASES FOR ALL ROMS ARE PLANNED WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK.
boot-ONLY-VIBFIX-cm10.2-20140108.zip (5.8MB)
Thanks for the kernel! I've been running the rom for about 24 hours now with no issues at all

DoPa v2.7 is a ROM for Sero 7 Pro owners everywhere. Whether bought in the US, Britain, Australia, Germany, or elsewhere, your tablet is supported.
The ROM starts with well-tested AOSP code and adds core functions where needed but skips the frills that are easy to add on - and remove when they cause problems. It's aimed at people who want to choose their own features and not have them imposed by the developer.
New / Improved
International Support - a single ROM for all Sero 7 Pros sold worldwide
New in v2.7 - support for the German model of the Sero 7 Pro (m470bsg)
Speed Control - a unified kernel provides speed when you need it and stock performance when you don't.
Use the new Performance page in the Settings app to control it
exFAT - support has been moved into the kernel for improved performance
Boot Animation - a handsome new DoPa animation thanks to @mikembley, our first-ever UK user
To get you started customizing your ROM, v2.7 offers these add-ons:
built-in: SuperSU, Xposed Installer GravityBox, Phab7
optional: have your tablet claim it's a Nexus7 to get more apps in PlayStore
The package does not include any Google apps (e.g. Playstore). See this thread for links to the latest GApps packages.
Installation
UK / AU / DE / First-time Users
If you're upgrading from a stock ROM (any variety), please click the "show content" button and read the instructions very carefully - they're long but your tablet's continued good health may depend on it!
STEP 1: Install Philz Touch Recovery
Users outside the US must use this version of Philz to install the ROM - neither the stock recovery nor other versions of CWM or Philz will work. Users in the US should use it just to avoid problems.
Stock Recovery
If you still have the stock recovery program you'll have to use the 'fastboot' program to install Philz. On Windows, this requires installation of the 'ADB' USB drivers while in fastboot mode (see below). A package containing the drivers, fastboot, adb and other files can be found in the 2nd posting on the DoPa Stock ROM thread. Note: there are several batch files (*.bat) in the package - do NOT run them.
put fastboot.exe in a convenient directory, then unzip sero7pro-philz6.58.0-dopa-v2.7.zip and put the file philz.img in the same directory (you won't need the other files)
unplug any USB cable, then press and hold Power+VolumeUp; the word "fastboot" should appear on the screen (nothing further will appear)
plug the USB cable from your PC into the tablet, then install the driver (open Device Manager, right click on "Other Devices->Fastboot", then select "Update Driver Software")
after installing the driver, open a command prompt ("DOS window") and change to the directory containing the files
enter fastboot flash recovery philz.img
when done, force the tablet off, remove the USB cable, then reboot into recovery: Power+VolumeDown - you should see the word "recovery", then the Philz menu
CWM
If you have CWM installed, copy sero7pro-philz6.58.0-dopa-v2.7.zip to an SD card, insert it in the tablet, then:
remove any USB cable, then boot into recovery: Power+VolumeDown
select "Install Zip", then "Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1"
select the file, then OK the selection
when done, back out to the main menu, select "Advanced options", then "Reboot recovery"
after the initial "recovery" screen, you should see the Philz menu
Regardless of how you install Philz, the result should be the same. If it boots OK, compatibility is assured
STEP 2: Backup
I can't emphasize this enough: you must make a backup of your existing ROM. If something goes wrong, there's no way to get your device working again other than to restore it using the backup you've made. There's also another reason to do a backup: before installing the new ROM, you will have to reformat your /data partition. This will wipe out your apps, your settings, and most importantly, all the music/photos/etc stored on your "internal SDcard". These last items can be restored if you follow the instructions below:
ROM
You must do your backup onto a real SD card that you can remove because your "internal SDcard" will be erased in the next step. In fact, it wouldn't be a bad idea to do two backups (preferably to different cards) just in case one is faulty.
on Philz main menu, select "Backup and Restore"
next, select "Backup to /storage/sdcard1" (the 6th item on that menu)
if there's enough space on the card, the backup will start without any further prompt; it could take anywhere from 3 to 15+ minutes depending on the amount of data and the speed of your card
if needed, you can enable compression to create a smaller backup: select "Misc Nandroid Settings -> Default Backup Format -> tar + gzip", then on the previous menu, tap on "Compression" to set the appropriate level
Internal SD card
This is optional but worthwhile if you have files you value stored on the tablet:
on Philz main menu, select "Backup and Restore"
next, select "Custom Backup to /storage/sdcard1" (the 9th item on that menu)
on the next screen, deselect everything, then select "Backup /data/media" (the next-to-last item)
finally, select "Start Custom Backup Job"
STEP 3: Install the DoPa ROM
Before you begin, you may want to download a Google Apps ("Gapps") package that you can install after the ROM. See this thread for a selection of packages. To avoid complications, I'd suggest choosing the "Nano Modular Package" to get just the basics - you can always upgrade later. Put your Gapps package along with the ROM zip on an SD card and insert it into the tablet - you can use the same card you're using for your backups.
on Philz main menu, select "Wipe and Format Options", then "Custom Format Options"
select "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)" (the 8th item), then OK your choice
back on the main menu, select "Install Zip -> Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1"
select sero7pro-aosp444-dopa-v2.7.zip, then OK your choice - the install process should take about 40 seconds
next, install your Gapps package
return to the main menu, select "Reboot System Now", then hold your breath for the next 3-4 minutes
the Hisense screen should be up for less than a minute, followed by the DoPa boot animation for another 2-3 minutes
when the Google setup screen appears, you'll probably get a warning that "Bluetooth Sharing" has stopped - after you clear it, you'll never see it again
If the boot animation is still running after 5+ minutes, force the tablet off, then reboot. If that doesn't fix it, try formatting /data again. If it still doesn't work, restore your tablet from your backup ("Backup and Restore -> Restore from /storage/sdcard1"), then post a message here. If everything works out as hoped for, re-read the first posting in this thread for details on some of the features (and problems) of this ROM.
Upgrades
While any SELinux-enabled version of CWM or TWRP can be used to install the ROM, the companion Philz Touch CWM-based recovery is highly recommended if you use exFAT-formatted SD cards.
from DoPa AOSP Kitkat ROMs (v1.0-v2.6) - no need to wipe or format anything!
from pre-Kitkat (v4.4.x) or any CM-based ROMs - wipe your /data partition before installing to avoid unnecessary problems.
install sero7pro-aosp444-dopa-v2.7.zip
- the installer will wipe (but NOT format) /cache and dalvik-cache for you
install your preferred Gapps package
- upgraders: this is required to prevent your downloaded Google apps from crashing
optionally, install the Nexus7 spoof (sero7pro-nexus7spoof-dopa-v2.7.zip)
reboot (ignore any "fix root" prompt - it's incorrect)
f2fs / ext4 Migration
This DoPa ROM gives you the flexibility to format any of your built-in partitions using either the f2fs or ext4 file systems.
As part of your install - or at any time - you can switch formats without losing any data. Click "show content" for instructions.
If you haven't already installed Philz Touch Recovery, please do so first. Philz has gotten complicated, so read this carefully!
make a nandroid backup to your external SD card
select Wipe and Format Options, then Custom Format Options
select toggle f2fs <-> ext4 migration
- be sure there's a confirmation message at the bottom of the screen
select each partition you want to convert or wipe, then select the format and OK your choice
Important: to convert your /data partition, you must select format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)!!!
use Custom Restore from /storage/sdcard1 to restore the contents of the partitions you reformatted
Notes
Speed Control - this version uses a redesigned kernel that caps processor speeds at stock levels during start-up, then adjusts them once the tablet is up and running. Go to Settings->Performance to enable this feature, and to set the top speeds for the CPU (1.0-1.5ghz) and GPU (448-520mhz). When disabled,the processor will remain at stock speeds (1.2ghz/448mhz) unless changed by a 3rd-party app.
Encryption - the first time you formatted your /data partition, you lost the ability to encrypt your tablet's data. Using the companion Philz Touch Recovery to reformat /data (using either filesystem) will restore that ability. To preserve your existing data, do a backup first, then restore just /data when done. Note: you must select "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)" when reformatting.
OTG Charging Support - this kernel supports charging the tablet while an external device (flash drive, keyboard, etc.) is attached to the USB port. This feature requires either an OTG 'Y' cable or an OTG USB hub, and the AC adapter that came with the tablet. For this to work, power must be connected to the cable or hub before plugging it into your tablet. The OTG device(s) can be attached/detached at any time.
WiFi Display (a.k.a. Miracast) - video works but its performance may depend upon your TV; audio does not work.
Bluetooth Sharing - on the initial boot, this service will FC due to a timing issue. The system will restart it and you should never see this error again.
Added/Changed in v2.6
International Support - added support to the kernel for the British and Australian models of the Sero 7 Pro
Overclocking - replaced separate standard and overclocked kernels with a unified kernel that uses less power when overclocked; added a new Performance page to the Settings app to control it
exFAT Support - moved exFAT support to the kernel for improved performance
Boot Animation - added a custom boot animation created by @mikembley
Added/Changed in v2.51
Flexible Formatting - added F2FS support for the /thirdparty and /mnt/modem partitions
Bug Fix - enabled Philz Touch Recovery to format the /thirdparty and /mnt/modem partitions using EXT4
Added/Changed in v2.5
Flexible Formatting - enabled use of either F2FS or EXT4 for any of the built-in partitions
External Storage - added support for F2FS, and for devices formatted without a partition table (i.e. Windows-style "super-floppies")
Android version - upgraded from AOSP 4.4.4_r2 to AOSP 4.4.4_r2.0.1
Recovery - added a DoPa version of Philz Touch Recovery
Added/Changed in v2.1
SD Cards - added support for SD cards formatted with the NTFS or exFAT filesystems
Android version - upgraded from AOSP 4.4.4_r1 to AOSP 4.4.4_r2
Added/Changed in v2.0
Google Now - voice activation (i.e "OK Google") now works in the Google Now launcher
kernel - added OTG charging support.

GPS and Google music
I noticed on version 0 that GPS could take awhile to lock on, and if you turned it off and back on that sometimes it wouldn't lock on at all. I also noticed an issue when running Google music where it would freeze and cause the tablet to reboot. Anyone having these issues on the new build? Otherwise, this is one of the cleanest KitKat builds I've used

Don't use Google music but I do use scanner radio and whenever I switched streams the tablet would freeze and I would have to hold the power button to turn the tablet off.
Now its working like it should. So this latest build might fix Google music.
Another issue I was having is when I opened the calendar it would not close hitting the back button. Its closes fine now.
The GPS doesn't seem to load any slower for me than it did with the stock ROM but I don't use it much.
Anyway I would recommend trying this latest build. Just make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the latest gapps. Everything should still be the same as before when you boot with the new ROM and hopefully you will notice some improvements.

This is a plain-vanilla build of KitKat for those who prefer their enhancements added on rather than built in. The only changes to the AOSP and kernel code are those needed to ensure compatibility or to enable standard features Hisense omitted (e.g. USB-OTG support). Because it relies on well-tested AOSP code, it is likely the most stable KitKat ROM available for this tablet. For the same reasons, it is almost certainly not the fastest KitKat ROM either.
To make it more functional, the package includes a handful of apps most people find useful: SuperSU, ES File Explorer, Xposed Installer, GravityBox, and my Phab7 UI switcher. To avoid the wrath of Google, it does not include any GApps; see this thread for links to the latest packages.
Installation
Having an SELinux-enabled version of CWM or TWRP installed is a prerequisite. You can find versions built by randomblame here or by davepmer here.
If you're upgrading from v0 of this ROM, clearing cache and dalvik-cache should suffice. Otherwise, do a full wipe of both your data and cache partitions. As always, a backup of your existing setup is recommended.
Notes
All features should be present and work as expected with these exceptions:
WiFi Display (a.k.a. Miracast) - video is enabled but very slow; audio is disabled because it doesn't work and generates 45 error messages per second when enabled
SELinux - the kernel runs in permissive mode due to missing entries in its configuration.
As these issues are resolved, the ROM will be updated accordingly.

As noted in the OP, none of the GApps (e.g. Playstore) were included in this ROM. I have updated its verbiage to be even more explicit. As to GMail crashing, I'm a little puzzled how that could happen if it wasn't included - did you mean the generic Email app?

I hope not: v1 wouldn't have been released if that bug were still present. The problems you encountered were caused by enabling sound effects, either built-in or 3rd-party - the notes for v0 said as much. Perhaps Google Music enabled them automatically.

I ran into that too - and something even odder. SuperSU's su and daemonsu program files should have a flag that marks them as authorized to give root access. That flag is now missing but I can still get root whenever needed. I don't know if this is to be expected with SELinux in place or just something specific to SuperSU. I'll investigate...

After installing the ROM, the "Gapps Standard" package, and Antutu, Settings->Storage says I have 5.48gb available. This is the free space on your /data partition and includes the space used by your emulated SD Card (which is actually just a subdirectory of /data).
"Smart ass alert"
Not only was playstore not installed, it doesn't give me the winning lottery numbers for next week! What gives?
Ok, being serious, Thank you for your time and effort. This weekend I am going to finally give this a try.
Dolorespark,
I haven't messed with any sound effect settings, so it must be Google Music messing with things. Have you noticed any issues with GPS? I can run any of the other rom's, including CM11, and it locks on immediately, but it seems random with AOSP. Sometimes I'll wait a coupled of minutes and it'll get a lock, and other times it won't lock on at all. Anyway, thanks for all you do. I'll keep testing, and keep my trusty backup of DOPA v2.
Working brilliantly so far. V0 to V1 smooth after adding gapps back to the mix. Sounds like time to reinstall V4A and sync some commute podcasts!
Thanks Dolorespark!

I hope not: v1 wouldn't have been released if that bug were still present. The problems you encountered were caused by enabling sound effects, either built-in or 3rd-party - the notes for v0 said as much. Perhaps Google Music enabled them automatically.

I had this issue on v0 as well and it seems that it's not gone yet. I only wiped dalvik & cache coming from v0 so I'm not sure if that's part of the problem, but I'm still experiencing the Google Play Music crash. It only seems to crash when playing content that hasn't already been cached locally. Attached is a logcat.

As noted in the OP, none of the GApps (e.g. Playstore) were included in this ROM. I have updated its verbiage to be even more explicit. As to GMail crashing, I'm a little puzzled how that could happen if it wasn't included - did you mean the generic Email app?

No it was gmail. It would close followed by the message "unfortunately this application has closed" or something like that. It wasn't really crashing but rather would not stay open. Anyway flashing the latest gapps fixed that and all is good for me so far.
I played with the tablet extensively last night and did not experience any problems. Even movies, streaming or local using XBMC play using a bluetooth headset. There is no stuttering as there was in all of the previous Jelly Bean roms, stock....DoPa1 and DoPa2. I don't know if that was a KitKat fix or what but I am very happy with the stability of this rom and the fact the XBMC bluetooth bug was fixed is icing on the cake. Of course V4A makes it even better.
I will continue to run the rom and will post if I find any bugs. Thanks again.:good:
Been running since v1 was posted. Have to say the music bug is no more! Listening to lucky mixes all day today and email, g+, and everything my wife and kids have done on it. No problems! Thanks You have really taken your time to make this rom perfect!!!!

Did you use the latest GApps package? As Gazoo119 noted, that fixed a problem with another app that uses Google Play Services. If the problem persists, you may want to go to Apps->Google Play Services, then tap the "Manage space" button. On the next screen it lets you clear all data.

Have you noticed any issues with GPS? I can run any of the other rom's, including CM11, and it locks on immediately, but it seems random with AOSP. Sometimes I'll wait a coupled of minutes and it'll get a lock, and other times it won't lock on at all.

I hadn't tried GPS at all until you mentioned it. I installed Google Maps but couldn't get a lock at all. It's raining here, so I couldn't get fully in the clear. Instead I sat in my car and it still did nothing. Finally, I forced-stopped the app, cleared data and cache, then retried. This time it only took a few seconds to find me. I then turned off GPS, rebooted, and moved to my semi-covered patio. After getting everything going again, it took 10-15 seconds to get a rough fix (off about 70 feet) and it continued to hold it even after I went inside. You may want to try clearing Maps' data (if that's what you're using) to see if that helps.

Whatever crash you're seeing isn't the one that I fixed. That one was produced a full-blown hardware crash with a register dump. Your logcat doesn't show a register dump or even a Java runtime exception dump. There were two errors that caught my eye but I don't know if either would cause an "Unfortunately..." popup.
Code:
04-08 09:40:24.213 E/DownloadTaskImpl( 3156): Download failed because of IO Error: Socket closed
04-08 09:40:24.213 W/DownloadTaskImpl( 3156): Experienced error when trying to download: [mId=[7871, DEFAULT] mTrackTitle="Le onde" mRemoteId=9ea5817b-9753-348e-af52-ea7c0947c6cb mSourceAccount=1954430662 mPriority=3 mOwner=MUSIC_PLAYBACK mSeekMs=0 mRetryAllowed=true mFileLocation=[mFullPath=/data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music/mplayback_7871.tmp mStorageType=INTERNAL mCacheType=2] mExplicit=false]
Here, the (software) communication link being used to download "Le onde" was broken. Later on, you got this error:
Code:
04-08 09:40:57.133 I/wpa_supplicant( 618): wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:1a:30:e4:64:00 reason=0

This download failure is a lot easier to understand: your WiFi connection had dropped. I don't know that either of these is something I can fix. As above, you may want to try the obvious fixes if you haven't done so already: use the most recent GApps package, clear the app's cache and data, and play with the app's caching options.
