CM7 Lockscreen Mods - Android Software Development

Alright. Now that Cyanogenmod has fixed the android.git.kernel.org sync errors, I have continued my CM7 Development (lockscreen stuff for now).
There are currently four new features:
1) Changeable pattern lockscreen size (3x3 - 5x5).
2) Visible dot toggle, for pattern unlock screen.
3) Custom lockscreen message (on normal and keyguard ones).
4) Carrier name change. NOT MINE anymore. Thanks Frederic Van Assche
After I get these problems fixed and setting for all of the features, I will release the mods here, and hopefully into official CM7.
Now for some pictures. See attached (untill i upload). Note: all images are at 180 lcd density (sortof needed for 5x5)

Development Section
Im currently really busy with school, so most of the work will be done on the weekends.
Current development status, and todo list.
1) The lockscreen size mod works fine. Few small code cleanup things and stuff needed.
2) The visible dot toggle has a setting and works perfect. The checkbox sometimes doesn't display right so you may have to click it twice to turn it on/off (not sure whats wrong, low priority).
3) Custom lockscreen message works great. Sometimes you have to enable+disable it for it to update (work on auto do/fix). And I haven't added it to the PIN lock and stuff (have to check). In the end I would like the enable/disable and message to be on a different settings screen (like on Honeycomb).
4) And the carrier name thing is now obsolete. Thanks to the patch by Frederic Van Assche, shown to me by one_love_420.
Ohh. And if any of you have any suggestions on things to add or change, i'm happy to listen and try.
Beta Testing.
Current Bugs
Code:
1. Choose pattern size, press back, doesn't revert size (ex: unlock problem from 5x5->3x3)
2. Change lock pattern size. Can't unlock from the actual lockscreen, in settings its fine. (IMPORTANT!)
Fixed by rebooting. Changing to same size is fine
Notes
These builds are buggy. Use at your own risk.
If you cannot unlock your phone, you can fail 5 times and then log in with your google account.

For a better way to do the custom carrier text and to have it in the settings as an option check this over at the gerrit. I have used since he posted it for review and it works great.

Thanks man.
I'm assuming I would run the patch command (git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.com/p/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base refs/changes/14/7314/2 && git format-patch -1 --stdout FETCH_HEAD)
Edit: that seemed to do nothing but output the changes.
I did the checkout one ("git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.com/p/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base refs/changes/14/7314/2 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD") and now it says
Code:
~/android/system/packages/apps/CMParts$ git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.com/p/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_CMParts refs/changes/13/7313/3 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
From http://review.cyanogenmod.com/p/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_CMParts
* branch refs/changes/13/7313/3 -> FETCH_HEAD
Note: checking out 'FETCH_HEAD'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b new_branch_name
HEAD is now at 5ed9b01... Custom carrier label (2/2)
Sorry, i'm still pretty new at git. What do I do now?

I'm new to the git and I do it probably the more difficult way but it gets the job done. What I do is download each change one by one, use "meld" to compare my java/xml files and add the new edits in. Like I said the more difficult way to do it.

Developer Help Needed Section.
1) For the carrier name replacement I edited
Code:
String plmn = "<WHATEVER>"; //ss.getOperatorAlphaLong();
(line 587) in GsmServiceStateTracker.java. I would like to find a way to add this as a setting to CMParts but haven't looked around enough to figure out how yet. If any of you could hint me in the right way or something that would make my life easier.

Thanks dude. I was out of town this weekend but started work on getting the pattern size setting more formal and correct.
However my Ubuntu vm decided to not boot.
Edit: fixed it with commands in slax, then in some terminal on ubuntu reboot.
However everything seems to be only. And I can't change the folders permissions due to read only filesystem. Any ideas?
e2fsck /dev/sda2 from root recovery seems to say it was fixed. but continues to not boot, and allowing me to run that command again and again.
If this doesn't get fixed soon. I think I'm gone to attempt to get my edited files from the read only (but bootable) snapshot, and add them back into the last working snapshot.

Try that

I ended up getting my read only changes and putting them on my actual computer,
then re doing my VM and melding my changes back in.
I got a backup, and a build made.
However settings crashes (doesn't look like my edits). I will attempt to fix it. Worst comes to worse go back to the good build and merge piece by piece.
Edit: The last two weeks and weekends have been super busy, barely able to turn on my PC. Anyways I got a 4 day weekend coming up, I should hopefully have everything worked out then.

any progress yet?

He's got most of the work done, he just needs to get it all merged and get it all up on github. He got distracted by a fun new build system for our kernel.

Edit: Disregard the old information. I now have some freetime over this weekend, the last two weeks have been crazy busy. I am slowly putting my tweaks into the latest nightly and making sure everything is working (vm redo). Anyways the newest build works! - You go to settings -> location and security -> Change Screen Lock -> Confirm saved pattern -> Choose unlock type (pattern) -> Choose pattern size (3-5) -> Draw new pattern (x2).
Where in the settings should the custom lockscreen message be? CMParts -> Lockscreen -> Widget Options -> Custom Message, or Security -> Owner Info (like honeycomb), or somewhere else?

i prefer
CMParts -> Lockscreen -> Widget Options -> Custom Message

what i like best about this project is
a) i`ve always wanted a 5*5 unlock pattern
b) you`re working this into the Cyanogenmod Project

Thanks.
Heres a little development update. Im working on getting the 5x5 lockscreen perfect before adding back in the lockscreen message and stuff. The actual 5x5 works fine, all my problems come from the dynamically changing size. Im trying to fix these two important bugs I have found. Hopefully I can get it solved, if not I might upload my work and see if you guys can help me out
Code:
#BUGS#
1. Choose pattern size, press back, doesn't revert size (ex: unlock problem from 5x5->3x3)
2. Change lock pattern size. Can't unlock from the actual lockscreen, in settings its fine. (IMPORTANT!)
Fixed by rebooting. Changing to same size is fine
If your willing to put up with these bugs check the OP.

Is there anyway to add this on to a current build of cyanogen nightly rather than flashing an older one?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Ummmmm. I edited frameworks/base and packages/apps/Settings
So So replace the Settings.apk and framework folder or something.

This is something,I don't mind testing out. hopefully it'll work on cm7.1
From my fist to your face, enjoy.

Credits go to genokolar for actually porting the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8800Pro. This builds upon his port.
You may find his port announcement here, and you can download it from here. Thanks to user Skyline111 for the mirror.
Thanks also go to birdyi, who ported the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8860. His port contained some brilliant things such as CarrierIQ framework removal.
--
This is a 2.3.6 ROM for the U8800Pro based on the U8860 B866 ROM. 2.3.6, naturally, brings a slightly newer version of Gingerbread compared to our 2.3.5 with B540. While I know it's all about CM9 (ICS), MIUI and so on these days, I'm a fan of stock (in the Huawei sense of the term) Gingerbread.
Features (or limitations depending on what you think of some of the following entries) of this ROM:
Rooted (adb also runs as root, too)
(Huawei) DLNA
(Huawei) A task manager that shows open applications with pictures (launching it when pressing Home has disabled in this modification because I found the Recent menu saves more time)
(Huawei) Security Guard, a way of hiding text messages, I think
(Huawei) Traffic Manager – a data counter
(Huawei) Wi-Fi WPS support
(Genokolar) FPS unlocked by default (configurable in enhanced.conf)
(Genokolar) ZRAM (Compcache) enabled
(Genokolar) Changed the autorun.iso path to the image partition so that formatting /data from CWM does not leave you with an empty CD-ROM drive when you plug the phone into a computer
bugreports service turned off entirely so that pressing the volume up button quickly after you've pressed volume down does not leave you with a few seconds' delay and a bugreports folder on your memory card
BusyBox from CM7
Android’s toolbox (poor coreutils replacement; more barebones than BusyBox) has its full set of links installed in /system/bin, so you use Android’s native chmod etc. tools. Why? To match the stock B512 firmware and to ensure developers testing on the U8800Pro correctly hardcode “busybox” in their root programs if needed
Optional lazy CPUfreq governor
Default language and region changed from Chinese – China to English – United Kingdom
Added in boombuler’s AppWidgetPicker
CM7’s Pacman added in to remind you to install Google Apps after adding an account with the Setup Wizard (make sure GApps is installed!)
VoiceDialler.apk added in from B512 firmware (although, to be honest, the microphone quality on my phone is awful…)
Bash shell, fix_permissions script, iwmulticall, MMS.apk, tcpdump and gdbserver and additional ringtones etc. from CyanogenMod (20120107-cm-7.1.0-u8800pro-Geno-en.zip) added in
Phone model changed to Desire HD, so Gameloft games can be bought. This may cause licensing problems with bought Market applications so be careful. (Although, I must admit that giving money to a company that doesn't support our phone seems counter-intuitive.)
Shutdown vibration reduced from 500ms to 100ms because I hate it (especially at night) but understand its usefulness in determining the answer to the question “Has the phone gone off yet?”
Huawei’s god-awful Low Battery notification replaced with a nicer one from CyanogenMod
Widgets actually restore themselves after a reboot! This was fixed by me replacing 2.3.6's PackageManager service with Huawei's 2.3.5 one.
MyCalendar widget from birdyi's port and MyEmail from B512 added in
Fixed proximity sensor dying if the light sensor was on, too.
Stripped down enhanced.conf - only swappiness, VSync and ZRAM settings available. I don't like /system/log.txt being created every time my phone boots and I think using a tool in Android like, say, No-frills CPU Control is the better place to set the frequency. SetXperia has support for setting the phone's CPU voltage.
More languages selectable from the Setup Wizard than just English (US) and Chinese.
Flash Player removed for copyright reasons. You can install it from the Market
Notepad and Richpad removed
Droid Sans Fallback supports more character ranges
Toolbox correctly has "Wi-Fi" instead of "WLAN"
Misc. kernel modules, like in B512, included
But I like the BusyBox tools and want to use them without having to prefix BusyBox everytime!
Just run the bash shell; BusyBox versions of cat, chmod, chown, df, insmod, ln, lsmod, mkdir, mount, mv, rm, rmdir, rmmod, umount, sleep, kill, and ifconfig will become the default while you’re using the bash shell (also nicer, BTW: you get tab-completion, for one) thanks to the CyanogenMod team.
Attempts to remove Carrier IQ. Huawei *do* include Carrier IQ in their firmware.
I’ve done the following to attempt to remove it the best I can:
Edited boot.img to not start Carrier IQ services
Removed Carrier IQ libraries from /system/lib and CiQ binaries from /system/bin
Added lines to build.prop to disable CarrierIQ, taken from the framework.jar file itself.
birdyi has also modified framework.jar to stop the CarrierIQ objects from being instantiated.
Ideally the best way to be Huawei-free is to use CyanogenMod.
I've removed the Cloud+ apps because of this. I've left some Huawei apps in, but I strongly recommend you install PDroid (the patcher works fine with this ROM) and block the more concerning permissions of Huawei system apps.
Kernel changes
Since the kernel genokolar provided with his port had a problem when a program used the light and proximity sensor at the same time – the proximity sensor would die out until the next restart – I took it upon myself to rebuild the kernel available from his github repository with the config from his latest kernel. After comparing his kernel to the source Huawei put out, I could see no code changes that would cause the proximity sensor to die out. Since I was rebuilding the kernel, I thought I’d make a few changes:
Add in the Lazy CPU governor by Ezekeel
Update a patch by stockwell to disable keypad lights (echo 1 > /sys/module/leds_msm_pmic/parameters/disable_button_leds) - use ButtonLock to control
Reverse genokolar’s decision to always allow NV logging – this can be turned on and off from the service menu on a stock ROM anyway…
Set minimum backlight level to 15, from Franco’s kernel. Warning: I haven’t tried setting it to 15 so I don’t know if that value renders the display practically useless, and I don’t know if Android lets you set it to 15 from its settings!
ButtonLock
Not as revolutionary as I'd like it to be, but useful nevertheless. I've written a quick widget, which looks like the Power Saving one, that turns off the button backlight. Useful for when you're reading books through FBReader.
You need to be using my kernel as it has the disable_button_leds patch. The advantage the disable_button_leds patch has over the chmod 444 method is that it doesn't introduce noticable lag. The widget's source is in the same folder.
When pressing the widget's button for the first time, there is a delay as the Superuser allow/deny dialog box takes its time to come up. After accepting, future launches are instantaneous.
If you need something that this ROM doesn’t provide compared to other stock ROMs, I recommend:
Not using it; or
Using a combination of diff, abootimg, Winmerge (or Beyond Compare) and apktool to compare this with genokolar’s original release, and with birdyi's ROM, and add what you want back in
Installation
Note: You must be running firmware version B522 on your device! If you have B540, you need to downgrade. If you have a firmware version lower than B522 (Froyo?), you must upgrade to B522 first. If you're already running a custom ROM, ignore this.
Take out the SIM card if you want the setup wizard to use Wi-Fi during setup.
Install genokolar’s recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343276
Place u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip on the internal memory card or an external one (I recommend the internal one to ensure you don’t run into U8800Pro CWM bugs with the external).
Get gapps for Gingerbread and place on your memory card. Find the link using every Android user’s favourite search engine.
I highly recommend using PDroid, but it’s up to you whether you want to use it. If you would like to use it, get the patcher from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056 and point it to u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip. Place the PDroid-v1.27-u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip file onto your memory card.
Boot into recovery (make sure that fast boot is turned off in Settings->Applications and hold power and volume up while turning the phone on)
Do a data/factory reset.
Install the ZIPs, starting with u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip (obviously).
Reboot!
Install the Google apps (those ones not included in CM's gapps ZIP like YouTube) if desired when prompted – but note that the Market will probably close as you’re doing this as it will automatically update itself.

I have B512 official gingerbread, am I good to go?

Too times was a situation, when phone lost connection with wi-fi spot, he see the network, but can't connect. Help reboot.. else working so far without problems, testing..

turned off the wi-fi and got the main bug - does not work 3g/2g data transfer, hmm....

Are your APNs set correctly? In my case 2G works and I've had HSDPA working because when testing the Weather Clock widget (from B522, when I had it in) it would connect using it - I could see the icon in the status bar - and I had the pleasure of having my balance run down each time - I'm not a rich man
Edit: In build.prop, you can try playing with ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=3 - genokolar had it set to 2, but I changed it back to 3 from the U8800Pro original ROM because I wouldn't be able to connect to my network otherwise.
Hopefully, it's not the case but it could be hardware differences. genokolar, who's work this is based on, being from China, probably has a Unicom U8800Pro, just like I do...
@Zaic
B512? This is for the U8800Pro. I'd advise you not to flash it. I'd recommend using birdyi's ROM. If you're after a certain improvement from this ROM, tell me and I'll try and isolate it for you (as long as it doesn't involve kernel stuff - I don't know how to build U8800 kernels) so that you can use with birdyi's ROM

I have u8800 pro - 100%
My ROM is original unrooted 2.3.5 B512 its one before the latest release which is B540
My ROM still has access to pink screen, otherwise its the same as B540 I guess
SO what should I do first to install this ROM? roll back to 2.2.2 or was it 2.2.3?

Ah, if you're running 2.3.5 already and in the pink screen mode you see a folder called image when connecting your phone to the computer you're ready to go

Hi!
My compliments for the porting of Android 2.3.6 to U8800Pro!
I am using your rom since yesterday and still now I am not having any kind of problems.
Anyway I notice the same bug of the B512 and B540 roms: put your smartphone on screenoff, then wait about 1 minute and fastly unlock the screen and try to pinch to zoom on the home. Sometimes the multitouch doesn't work on every position of your fingers, it only works correctly if your fingers are in the position of principal axes.
Please try to reproduce this bug.
I am using LauncherPro but this bug is indipendent by the launcher (for example I tried also Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher EX, etc etc).
I hope you can solve this bug, maybe kernel-related.
Regards,
kalo86

Sorry for asking, but how do you pinch to zoom on the home screen? I'm using Go Launcher Ex and I know that that has the swipe up gesture but I can activate that with one finger, anyway.
In any case, have you applied the Synaptics touchscreen update? For me it has increased the touchscreen performance greatly. I had one problem that when after unlocking, the touchscreen wouldn't respond unless I turned the screen off and tried again. The update solved that.
If you want to try it, open the service menu (*#*#2846579#*#*), go to ProjectMenu->Upgrade->Touch screen version query and see if it says "synaptics". If so, put the original Huawei recovery.img back on and put the synaptics.img file in a folder called update on your SD card. Use the recovery's "touchscreen firmware update" update option and it will automatically reboot when it's done.
Best regards,
qwerty12

Oh, really thank you for this "news" about the synaptics touchscreen update!
I have a synaptics too, then I am going to update the firmware.
Another bug, still present in B512, B540, Cyanogen and U8860 port: unplug your battery from the smartphone, insert it again, power on, then open your file manager and try to read the sdcard content. At 99% my sdcard is not read, then I have to reboot my U8800Pro and magically the sdcard is read.
Thanks to You and Genokolar for our development!
Regards,
kalo86
UPDATE: I updated the synaptics touchpanel but I have always the bug of multitouch. It is reproducible when you unlock the screen after a pause of 1 minute (about), then you open the stock browser and try to zoom with the multitouch. It works only if your fingers are on the principal axes and not in other positions. I have this bug on 4 different U8800 Pro! It cannot be a singular problem.
So, I have tried a lot of roms, based on B512, B540, U8860, CyanogenMod 7.1, I am sure I will try this bug on the next release because it's mabe a kernel bug due to the multitouch field.

Video demonstration
This is a video which I just uploaded on YouTube with the real multitouch bug.
This bug is in 4 different U8800 Pro.

I really can't reproduce this. I pulled out the battery while it was on, put it back in and started File manager (the one included with Huawei ROMs) and the internal SD card along with my external one were seen fine.

Is FM Radio working in this ROM?

Yes, Radio is working fine

A little bit - after unlocking, I can do the multitouch gesture and phone will respond like it's supposed to but I have seen twice that it has not responded to me; I have to do it twice more...

CodeName Android is now officially supported on the Vibrant so this thread's life is at an end.
Go here:http://codenameandroid.com/cna-1-5-0-add-multiple-devices-and-nightly-builds/ to get the latest nightly build.
or in XDA here for sixstringsg's build:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531135
HERE WE GO with CodeNameAndroid 1.4.0 Nightlies for my (or your) Vibrant. This is pure CNA. It is from a I9000 (nightly) build made by Bubble-be from the 02-26-2012 source.
Bubble-be’s thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512938
It is a straight build from source, nothing added, nothing changed. I have only ported it to the Vibrant. GAPPS is not included so you will need to flash GAPPS after flashing the rom. I have removed the asserts in the update script so be sure you have a T-Mobile SGH-T959 Vibrant before flashing.
Please visit and donate at the CodeName Android Development Site @ http://www.codenameandroid.com
This is a port that I personally made for myself. I liked it so much I decide to share with all here.
If you are an experienced user try it out. As I made this for me, what you see is what you get.
Do not expect support, although I will try to help if you have problems. Please visit the pages linked above to get info and change logs etc.
Additional issues fixed in the 02/26 nightly besides those in the below change log.
* RIL issue (not correctly registering signal strength and taking a long time to get a signal after reboot) has been fixed.

CNA 1.4.0 nightly 02/23
Rom: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/CNA_4.0.3_v1.4_2-24-2012_Vibrant.zip Kernel is Nelsons v12 b8 for ICS Passion
GAPPS 02/15/2012: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/gapps-ics-20120215-signed.zip
DaxINFINITY ported the CodeNameAndroid rom from the Nexus S to the I9000. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485734. 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 are ports of ports. GAPPS are included.
Here's the flashable zip of CNA 1.3.2 ported to the Vibrant (includes gps fix also) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/CNA_4.0.3_1.3.2_Vibrant-signed.zip
Here's the flashable zip of CNA 1.3.3 ( GPS works but it does not survive deep sleep) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/CNA_4.0.3-1.3.3-Vibrant-signed.zip
No Wipe needed over CNA 1.3.2, full wipe is OK and probably recomended if you are using a kernel other than stock.
Do a backup, try it out.

Best ICS if used!
I've been using this for about 4 hours and I have to say this is the smoothest most customizable ics rom I have used.
And thank you for posting all the need files, would have been nice when I flash this earlier.

Yeah, It's pretty sweet. I haven't run into any bugs yet.

The only thing I found is that the signal bars are full when you have service but nothing in between. So it shows either you have no service or full service but that's not a big deal.

I also have a no go on GPS. I need to find the right GPS files to insert.
edit: Flashed the Passion v9+gps kernel then then Passion b8 kernel on top of it rebooted and now gps locks.

Nice work, just a heads up I'm using the latest glich(b3) and got black screen after unlocking. But then I just locked then unlocked again and it was fine.
Edit: oh and by the way I don't think I'll go back to another ics rom, it has been that good!

The bomb
This rom is the bomb.....thanks Bob

WOW.
This is a pretty damn smooth rom. Smoother than the experience i've had with Passion.
Bob, I want you to make a [PORT] thread in the dev section. This is a really good ROM that you've ported. and I thank you.
I came directly from V13 Passion, no wipe. Did follow instructions from OP.
Some notes: The Bootanimation looks really low quality and pixelated.
Are you using the same kernel as Passion? It has the same image for the kernel loader.
The rom boots up REALLY fast.
Errors:
Currently my Market is NOT working. Rebooted, and I will perform OTHER things to try and fix it, but the error is "SERVER ERROR =RETRY="
I tried Wiping DATA,CACHE etc.
I will now try to push another VENDING.APK from the actual rom into this.
Cancel that, tried it, did not work. Also I looked in this ROMS System/APP and there is no Vending.apk ...?
=====================================================
I TRIED TO FLASH FROM ABSOLUTE WIPE market still does not work.
Another problemo: External SD does not show up mounted on computer.
Another: It takes a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time to get signal for me.
Haven't tested if its just the signal not updating itself or not...
If nothing works, i'll wipe data(format) and then try again. This seems like a good rom to try out. I'll let others know as well.
*so far recommended to try by me, the smoothness is amazing.

Not sure about the market mine is working, but the external sd is a know problem. They are working on a fix in the next release over in the i9000 forum.
Mine also takes a while to get service, about a min if not more after boot.

Thanks, Things I've noted.
External SD does not show up on computer but works on phone.
It sometimes takes awhile after reboot to get phone service, but it comes. toggling wifi usually turns it on.
In the reboot menu it looks like reboot is selected but it's actually recovery. select reboot again and you're fine.
I'm using the Passion v12 b8 kernel. I tried Glitch but didn't like.
My market worked fine, but I have either upgraded from Passion v12 or did a wipe and started from scratch.
GPS works fine after a boot but IDK if will continue after deep sleep.

After a clean wipe, market is still not working, and it is not my wifi connection, i tried browser and went to other websites, and it works.
Anyone mind giving me their Vending.apk or something and tell me where to put it i thought it was system/app
Or anyone know what to do about Market problem?

I've been working on a 1.3.3 port but they changed a lot. and GPS is hosed so far, won't stop pinging, will probably drain the battery fast. If I can figure it out I'll post it.

ignore my issues about market, i rebooted for the... 6th time and then it decided to finally let me into Google Market. haha
Anyways i'll give it a shot for a day, and regarding the post above the one you posted, I don't have a data plan, so I don't ever use GPS anyways. Is there a way I can shut it off from pinging so much? remove gps files itself or something??
thanks for the great rom bro.
aww it doesn't have ICS style blue checkmarks

Hey bob if its giving you that much trouble, 1.3.3.1 is going to be released tomorrow with some fixes, so maybe wait till then. And a quick Q; where do you replace the kernel files in the rom zip so i dont have to flash it afterwards?

Alright thanks man, bootanimation goes in system/media correct?
Also, MAKE A THREAD FOR THIS RIGHT [email protected]$#@%[email protected]
IDK if you're going to keep the same name from ported rom or make a new one, but if you decide on a new one, make it something interesting something thats fun to say

The boot animation is a CWM flashable. or pull bootanimation.zip out and put in system/media.

Any ideas about the bit of lag i'm getting? It's mostly in the Settings app, I for example, uncheck/check something, it just holds for like 5 seconds and then registers my touch.

I'm not sure. I get it sometimes too, then it goes away. Something must be running in the backround. Try closing out apps in the app switcher and see if it helps.

INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Make a nandroid backup before downloading this!
If something goes wrong (even though it has been tested numerous times) its always good to have a backup! I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device as a result of this!
1. Download the .zip from goo-inside.me linked below
2. Reboot into ClockworkMod
3. Install zip from SD Card -> Browse for zip you just downloaded
4. Wipe Dalvik cache (in advanced menu)
4. Reboot
5. Heres the decision point: you can either end here, or you can continue on to install the V6 ICS Supercharger script. The process is a little bit involved, so if you don't want to continue, you don't have to. I reccomend you do continue though, as the Supercharger script makes a very big difference in terms of speed! For those of you who choose not to continue, thanks for installing the SUPREME Modpack! Enjoy your Touchpad! For those that want the ICS Supercharger too, continue below!
=======================================================
6. Download the latest Supercharger script from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 to your /Download folder (the file is called "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt") (Note: the name might change if a new release of the script comes out)
7. Continuing to install the supercharger script... open up a file manager and rename the file to get rid of the .txt extension (so that it becomes a .sh extension)
8. Open up the app called Terminal Emulator on your Touchpad. If its not already installed (it should have come with CM9) then just install it from the market.
7. In the Terminal, type the following.
Code:
su
Then accept the Superuser request that opens up.
8. Then type:
Code:
sh /Download/V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh
(Note: the name might change if a new release of the script comes out)
9. The screen will display some text as the script loads up. Be patient and wait.
10. After loading, it will come to a thing where it detects what launcher you are running. Press the enter key to confirm your launcher.
11. The script will do some more stuff and then ask for what type of scrolling you want. Type in "1" without quotes to confirm you want fast scrolling to make the install process quicker and then press enter.
12. It will do some more stuff and then ask about integration. Type "y" without quotes confirming you want integration and then press enter.
13. It will do some more stuff and then ask about animations. Type "y" without quotes confirming you want to disable the animation and then press enter.
14. It will do some more stuff and then ask about what type of Supercharger you want. Type "9" without quotes confirming you want the highest and most aggressive tweaks (they work the best for the Touchpad) and then press enter.
15. The script will finish up and then ask if you want to super clean your system. Type "y" without quotes and then press enter. Your system will reboot.
16. Go to this link: http://android.mimic.ca/
17. Upload your services.jar file from the /system/framework/ directory
18. Patch the file using the online patcher
19. Download the CWM file it gives you (the .zip). Don't worry about what it says about being for Nexus S.
20. Reboot to recovery and flash the CWM file it just gave you.
Congrats, you have the SUPREME Modpack and the ICS Supercharger scripts installed! Reboot normally and enjoy!
To update, just follow the same instructions as the install directions! You will also need to install every time you install a new ROM.

this sounds amazing but i am just wondering if i could edit this so it doesnt touch the dpi at all? i use 132 right now and dont want to mess with it, other then that this sounds amazing

First time posting in the touchpad forums...
I applied this mod and attempted to install 9mm but still got a "not compatible with this device" error. Unless I'm in error of some sorts I believe this game still has issues running on our devices. I at least had to give this a shot to maybe see if it would help with me getting this game installed.
Nonetheless excellent work and thank you for your contribution!

I added the build.prop text in the OP near the bottom, in a pastebin link. Copy the text from there, paste it into your build.prop, and then find the line for the density and edit that back to 132 before saving.

I don't own the game so I was not able to test it, sorry! I know this change has worked for Modern Combat 3, Asphalt, and a couple other games. I will look into making 9mm work, since this might be a problem across multiple games!

Testing now, will let you know how it goes over the next few days

Im really looking forward to a smoother scrolling experience. I love my tp immensely but I've always found the very subtle studder of scrolling to be a little displeasing when it comes to scrolling in between home screens. Does this "smooth scrolling" enhancement effect web browsing scrolling?
I am definitely going to give this a shot bud, brb with thoughts and opinions. Thanks again for your work in this community.

Plug in your device. Then Go to: settings, then click on storage on the left. then on the top right you will see 3 vertical dots, click it for more options. "USB computer connections" will be available. Select it. Then check mark the "media device (MDP)" field.
If you're using windows, ignore the driver installer error prompt. Your TP should still be visible when you go to my computer.
Push Thanks if I helped. i hope I did. >.> lol

thanks it's working now.

This really works! I was stuck using 160dpi on Alpha2 because 120 or 132dpi both were not smooth, they had a small skip or judder when transitioning screens. Bugged the heck out of me so I set it to 160dpi where it is smooooth.
I flash this build.prop this morning and 132 is now just as smooth! Not sure what else it fixed but it didn't break anything which is always a good thing. Me happy
Thanks Rohan!

Nice one
Changed the build.prop in notepad to 160dpi then saved over the top and just flashed, now I'm playing BackStab HD! Thank you very much!

Thanks for doing this but I have a question. In your OP, you listed:
disables error checking (may have side effects)
Does this affect the SD card error checking (fsck_msdos) that the TP does on boot, which shows up as Preparing SD card on notifications?
Btw, just a suggestion that it might be a good idea to put a line in your OP and recommend doing a nandroid backup or at least backing up of the original build prop file before flashing this. Thanks again.

Hi guys, sorry, just got back from school. I've answered some of your questions below.
Also, just wanted to say that tonight I will be adding a whole boatload of improvements via the init.d file. I worked on it at school today for a little bit at lunch and it should bring a whole host of speed improvements and smoother aspects to CM.
@Mr.Quipster Yes, this also affects the web pages. It increases the screen's refresh rate when scrolling, thus allowing a "smoother" experience.
@ruthienu I've changed it so that StageFright, the media streaming tool in Android 2.2+ scans meta tags, as well as HTTP filesystems for media. It doesn't hurt to have these lines in there if you aren't using media streaming. It also doesn't interfere with anything else. If you want to delete it, flash the zip and delete lines 101-104 [the ones starting with media.stagefright(...)]
@webdroidmt Nope, this disables something called CheckJNI. It basically scans the system every now and then for things such as invalid variables and arrays, bad buffers, and some UTF-8 errrors. None of the errors it catches are system-threatening and disabling it frees up a substantial amount of RAM. If you do not want this to be enabled as a feature then simply flash the zip, then edit your build.prop and delete the line "ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0". And thanks for the suggestion, added a warning

DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON

So this still needs a lot of work but I am providing a working boot.img and root filesystem archive for all Nexus 9 variants? (not sure needs others to test and confirm).
Will be edited as things start working
What's working:
WiFi. (Must use 'nmcli dev wifi con "SSID" password "passwd" ')
GPU @ anywhere from 900-2000 FPS
Sound works just needs reconfiguring
Screen rotation works best with minimal issues as desktop taskbar widgets command to turn clockwise into landscape:
Code:
sudo xrandr -o right; sudo xinput set-prop 7 "Evdev Axis Inversion" 0, 1; sudo xinput set-prop 7 "Evdev Axes Swap" 1
&
Code:
sudo xrandr -o right; sudo xinput set-prop 7 "Evdev Axis Inversion" 0, 0; sudo xinput set-prop 7 "Evdev Axes Swap" 0
For normal portrait orientation
However DO NOT USE THE DISPLAY SETTINGS TO ROTATE IT MESSES UP THE LOGIN ROTATION AND SCREEN GOES BLACK AND SOMETIMES SHOW BACK UP IN LANDSCAPE AND WILL NOT DEFAULT BACK INTO PORTRAIT ORIENTATION. SO YOU MUST DO IT MANUALLY!!!!! See screenshot below
Swipe gestures (Chromium-browser only).
Bluetooth: WORKING!!! Install package bluetooth-touch and set this command into a shell script or enter manually the ENTIRE string:
Code:
brcm_patchram_plus --enable_hci --use_baudrate_for_download --scopcm=0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 --baudrate 3000000 --patchram /lib/firmware/bcm4354.hcd --no2bytes --enable_lpm --tosleep=50000 /dev/ttyTHS2
Also using a Bluetooth audio sink works by itself without keyboard connected. I've found it still needs work but, connecting to a keyboard still flawless in its function file transfer locks it up when sending not receiving. Pairing and connecting are all good but functionality of Bluetooth is down to one device at a time for best results
What's not working:
Cameras (Neither front nor rear camera works at all. Needs work).
NFC? (I have no idea how to check for this. Needs work).
Probably other things I missed.
What you will need:
Any Nexus 9 with an unlocked bootloader & latest TWRP recovery installed
USB keyboard
OTG cable
Instructions:
MAKE A BACKUP! Just in case.
1.) Enter into recovery go to wipe and format Data partition as Ext4
2.) Reboot into recovery and with the boot.img and rootfs on a flash drive or, push them to device via ADB.
3.) Go to terminal command in recovery issue the commands: cd /data; mkdir linux; cd linux
4.) tar xvjf /sdcard/rootfs.tar.bz2 -C /data/linux
5.) Flash N9boot.img with install image in TWRP Install submenu.
6.) Reboot into the new Linux system.
7.) If the Kernel panics and boot loops, go back into recovery and format the data partition again it will ask are you sure type yes & repeat steps 2-4
You will need to use a USB keyboard & OTG cable to install the necessary packages and connect to WiFi/Bluetooth.
It's much easier to install on device than in a chroot environment as I have had problems in the past. And some people have different favorite Desktop Environment's. However Gnome and KDE both do not work correctly and crash.
Fluxbox, Mate, XFCE, LXDE, all work as they should with Lightdm.
If there's anything I missed you can add it below, PM me and ask, whatever and I'll try to answer as soon as I am able.

And thanks to @sonicadvance1 for his original guide & @Vartom for his work on porting some of the necessary Kernel drivers. And @Vartom again for his contributions to the Bluetooth and everything else to get us this far :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Xubuntu-Desktop Preinstalled 21.5 Drivers 1GB username=ubuntu password=ubuntu
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8NgGANYGMhOZS1OenNzZl94bEE
rootfs base only necessary packages root password=toor

boot.img

In order to get the preinstalled to fix login if having issues use the command as root in virtual terminal Ctrl+Alt+F1/F2, etc
Code:
chown ubuntu:ubuntu /home/ubuntu
.
This should fix the login issues, if you want you can create a different user and remove the premade user using these commands as root in virtual terminal.
Code:
deluser username
adduser username
addgroup username adm
addgroup username sudo
Additionally if you have an error when running glxgears there is a fix
Code:
xauth list
It should output something similar to this
Code:
localhost.localdomain/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 a4f6256398303725763c5595f404afbb
You will need to export the display and add that MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE you got from xauth list
Code:
export DISPLAY=":0"; xauth add $DISPLAY . a4f6256398303725763c5595f404afbb
This should fix the display error.
And finally,
Enjoy Ubuntu on your Nexus 9

Yeah now that I got wifi working I'm off to study how to get xfce4 installed. Everyone says Arch is hard but I'll tell you their repo's are extensive. Now I have to learn about ppa's...
Also, I'm over 50 and because we have a 2048 x 1536 display everything is very tiny making all of this more of a challenge... I tried a couple things to bump the font size but they don't work....

I knew you were old school. I did get Arch Linux running on the original guide but it was choppy at best and only ran in the framebuffer but this was the aarch64 version. I do think it could be done because it's my preferred distro these days as well. I think we'd have to change a few things in the CPIO init scripts.. You know point to what it needs but, that's a little too advanced for me.
Also try setting a custom dpi in the settings menu if you're using XFCE I know there's the option there
and to install it you need to uncomment all the extra repos in /etc/apt/sources.list then do apt update && apt install xubuntu-desktop
it should look like in the picture

Well, I'm stuck. X won't start... I'll have to pull the log and see what up. Unfortunately I'm back to work tonight so it will be a while before I get to play again. Don't fret, I'll be back. :silly:

They look identical to me as well. Um try apt install xorg xubuntu-desktop lightdm-gtk-greeter.
then reboot it should automatically enable it with systemd while installing

I fixed the links but the rootfs.tar.bz2 is down as I am uploading a preinstalled image archive with the XFCE4 DE w/ onscreen keyboard, still ironing out Bluetooth made good progress so hopefully I will have that finished soon

Cameras are not included in the kernel. I did not check their performance in this kernel.

Linux Inside... Nice. Well I found a few minutes and got this far.... https://imgur.com/a/VuDEN Xauthority issue? I'll check into it later. I assume suspend doesn't work? I tried once but didn't want to crash it right now. also changed scroll bar width... easier to tap. Border width is next.
Scroll bar width:
Open the .gtkrc-2.0 file, add the following to a new line starting at the bottom of the file:
Code:
style "myscrollbar"
{
GtkScrollbar::slider-width=XX
}
class "GtkScrollbar" style "myscrollbar"

How's the performance ?
Can I use it as a desktop?

Yes indeed it does work as a desktop I got screen rotation down to two three command scripts with desktop widgets. Most things work as of now Bluetooth sucks no matter what I do but, touchscreen works fine WiFi works fine no Cameras yet Sound only through headset. Hardware acceleration works at anywhere from 800 FPS - 2000 FPS. Videos like on YouTube stutter a little if you are doing other things while watching. Swipe gestures work in Chromium browser only. (Still working on installing multifunction swipe gestures) Your best bet would be to buy one of those $11 Micro-B USB wired tablet keyboards or just use the Onboard keyboard if its already in a rugged case or whatever. Those two green arrows at the top of the desktop are my rotate widgets

Yes there is an .Xauthority error when I flashed it as well that was why I said it's difficult to make a working install and that it was easier to install on device but either try chown ubuntu:ubuntu /home/ubuntu as root and it may fix your issue or you have to create a new user

Porting the cameras was not 100% complete. Therefore, simply adding lines to the config is not enough.

For bluetooth work, you need to download the corresponding firmware.
with some similar string
exec /usr/sbin/brcm_patchram_plus --enable_hci --use_baudrate_for_download --scopcm=0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 --baudrate 3000000 --patchram /lib/firmware/bcm4324.hcd --no2bytes --enable_lpm --tosleep=50000 /dev/ttyTHS2
this can be added to the nvwifibt.conf config file.

What's this?
First of all, I'm not the original developer.
He post it on other Chinese forum, and I am just to ask for his permission and post it here.
All credits to Coolapk user: Tutoo.
This is an unofficial build of Pixel Experience Pie for Oneplus 5T (dumpling).
The original is for Oneplus5, you can find it here : Click here
The dev make a port version of this
What's working :
Boots
RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)
Fingerprint
WiFi
Bluetooth
Camera (but same as other Pie ROM, a little laggy in third apps)
Flashlight
Camcorder
Sound / vibration
GPS
AOD
Hotspot
NFC
VPN
And device specific addition (same as OP5 thread)
Known issues:
Permissive
or other issue same as OP5
Fingerprint gesture to view notification also not working
But you can try the solution provide by @Sabissimo at #16
Although that didn't work for me, some report they success, still looking into the problem
If that work for you, don't forget to give him a thank
If you find any bugs, you can PM me or leave comments below, I'll reported it to original dev
Instructions :
First, backup your data to PC or laptop
Second, you HAVE TO wipe data,system,cache AND INTERNAL STORAGE (some reported that it didnt boot if no wipe internal storage)
Third, flash the ROM and No verity zip (In my case, I use v3, but it seems with no problem)
Now you can boot up your device, it'll boot up TWO TIMES, and this is normal
CAUTION !!!
Version1 already include Gapps,Magisk (16.7), firmware, gcam and Redflare kernel (1.13 build)
So it is unnecessary to flash other zips
But in Version2, it didn't have firmware, but with Magisk (17.1) and Redflare kernel (1.16 build)
you guys need to take notice of this
Downloads:
Because original was on Baidu Cloud, and it may block some countries IP (Example: Taiwan)
So I upload it to Google Drive
If it is needed to upload to AFH or other cloud, just PM me, I'll upload it when I'm free
Here is the GD link:Version1
Version2
Credits:
Coolapk user "Tutoo" for his awesome work
and XDA user @bhageerathreddyy for help testing
Because of the forum rule, TG group link are not allow to post publicly here.
ROM OS Version: 9.x Pie
ROM Kernel: Linux 4.4.152, RedFlare EAS kernel

This was much faster than expected for this rom, been swapping between this and OOS, will have to test this tonight and Pie for the first time, ty for fast release.

HI, just flashed this. Looks and feels good but the fingerprint swipe gesture doesn't seem to work properly, It treats it like arrow keys and navigates around the UI.

Can u tell me dose it includes the adaptive battery and gcam ? And how are the animations ? And notification slider options

ROM is awesome! Adaptive battery, gcam, slider - all working
To make fingerprint gestures work, put this file in /system/usr/keylayout , and give it 755 permissions

First boot took about 1 min max. You have to be decrypted, flash rom, flash noverity (I flashed v3) - and you should be good.

Well, it's definitely working for me tho, be sure to give it permissions.
Also, don't know if it matters, but I've searched for "swipe" in settings, and got in "Swipe fingerprints for notifications" menu, which is (weirldy) not available in "Gestures", there was no toggle there, tho, just instructions video. Maybe just entering that menu enabled that, try it out.

@Sabissimo did you update your firmware to 5.1.5 ? and have you installed vendor partition data ?

I was on OB15, so whatever firmware it uses - I have it And had vendor of OB15, but I don't think that vendor matters, since this is not treble rom, and doesn't use /vendor, it uses /system/vendor

Well... the dev said that the ROM doesnt have that function, but how can you enable ? I also follow your steps and give them permission then reboot again, but nothing happen.

Step-by-step of what I did:
1. Wiped everything except internal storage
2. Flashed ROM
3. Flashed no-verity v3
4. Rebooted, it rebooted twice, then started booting up with google animation
5. Noticed that fingerprint is working as cursor, went to settings, searched for "swipe", entered that menu, there's no toggle there
6. Pasted gf_input.kl in /system/usr/keylayout, gave it 755 permissions
7. Rebooted and everything is working!
Try doing it in the same sequence (First try to to enter swipe menu before pasting gf_input.kl, then paste it), maybe that did the trick.

Confirm this was the exact process I followed and works like a charm. Just need a couple of days with it to test battery life.

just have one thing to say thankyou so much and this rom is just smooth

For anyone that wants to flash this ROM, don't worry about your firmware. This ROM's .zip file contains a firmware ALREADY so it will flash the necessary firmware itself!
