Don't mess with! (NOW YOU ARE WARNED!)
Remove add-on's like games or apps in the zip release file in /system/app, this way you save time for next install.
Disabling Phone+TelephonyProvider can cause unstable OS, settings crash, tablet freeze etc..
Removing apps from system folder can cause bootloop's
Base used

Kernel originally from code of Tiamat for xoom, and drivers and updates added after with stock 3.0.1 kernel drivers.
Hardware is tested using Z-deviceTest from Market
Thanks to:
Crsdr37 - for beta testing
m-deejay - for pointing out my ramdisk issue.
You do all this and you take the risk. But remember if you got the CWM working, you should be safe and you can run itsmagic from CWM if you are in doubt. I take no responsibilites if you damage or brick your device. But if you do think its bricked, and you get checksum errors both at boot and recovery, sc2k might be able to help if you saved your UID number.
Apps that can be Freezed with TitaniumBackup without problems (of course if you don't use it)

WMV 1080p works with hardware decoding on 3.1 (i tested the microsoft 1080p samples) and no stuttering or so..
but although some say 1080p hdmi is ok, its actually still just downscaled to 720p output and why our tablet can play it quite nicely.

i decided to add a patch, so you can use Acer stock colors, if you wish.
i will check this one as soon as it is available. tks dexter, will also buy you a beer afterward.
just a remark, and thats the reason why i did not try any of the other rom's, anything besides the kernel is not GPL. so anything coming from ASUS and added to ACER could cause ASUS to intervein and call you a pirate. thus I would ruther stay with stock, and modify stock with my own ideas or at least with things not coming from asus or any other tab maker.
Anyhow tks for your good work.

I don't think thats entirely accurate for Android!..
Asus built their changes on top of Android which is GPL, and changes made to that needs to be openly available for modification..
when we talk application development yes, but Android 3.x OS changes and graphics modifications, i think we can what we like to, as the platform is distributed under GPL.
Only parts i guess will be copyrighted/licensed are GoogleApps, which again Acer do have rights to use, so we can place them on our tablets..

*http://xt720.ru/Files/Mods/ShenqiV4-En.7z （Mirror:http://depositfiles.com/files/29g2s4ovg?redirect)
*framework-res.apk: if you want multiple language support ( more than English and Chinese), download this file and replace the old one in /system/framework
Introduction:
The Rom I worked on was from a Chinese forum ztphone. And by the original Rom's name I thought it might be a branch version from KANG's CM7 Rom. So it is good to trace back and share the Rom here. Any feedback and comments are highly appreciated!
Highlight:
*Moto Camera, Moto MediaGallery and Moto Videoplayer port to CM7
*800w Camera and HD recording (1280*720) work fine
*Smoothly 720p H264 baseline profle video play with HW decode support
*Media button and all sensor work
Lowlight
*HDMI not work
*I customized the ROM for Chinese phone. Sorry for some possible language inconvinience. Language locale was set to en_GB in build.prop for this version.
Installing Instructions
1. Install milestone default 2.1 rom(Russian, CBW, Singapore, whatever).Root it with androot or superoneclickroot.Install last openrecovery build from Mioze7Ae.
2. Unzip the ROM, put the folder Shenqi-V4-En to your sdcard "nandroid\openrecovery". Boot to OpenRecovery, and use "nandroid->restore" to flash.
3. This additional step is only *required* for Korean Xt720 model. Put "Korean_Patch.zip" to sdcard "openrecovery/updates ", and update it in OpenRecovery
Ham, the uploading to Deposit Files is so slow today ... (67% now)
The same ROM ( only difference in build.prop language locacle setting) shared in Chinese forum (ztphone) has receieved several positive feebacks. Now I am pretty happty to see HD Recording and 720p video playback also work for other xt720 phone
Hi,
What languages are in the ROM (other than english and chinese) ?
Is there french ?
why not setup a github repo and put there configurations, sources, and even binaries ? (even free github will allow to upload at least 2 "rom updates" each of them around 92Mb
added:
i saw framework.jar has some stock goodies in it... i suppose you "decompile" cm7 one, added from stock and "compile" back (unsing smali) or i am wrong?
Sorry, this version has very limited language support and do not have French.
Yes, github is good to do such things.
Moto Camera need some reference from framework.jar, so I did some modfications in framework.jar. Also Camera.apk, MediaGallery.apk, MediaProvider.apk were also decompiled and modified to port to CM7.
Is there a way to translate into french ?
I can translate text from english to french.
anyone reupload plz.... unable to download... tq..
http://xt720.ru/Files/Mods/ShenqiV4-En.7z
Add framework-res.apk file to support multiple language. (See on 1st floor)
Download the file, and replace the old one in /system/framework/, then you could have multiple languagne, including French in the system.
will this work for the existing CM7 of fjfalcon.?

The issue is still persistent. I do not think that the issue is with the boot loop, because the phone starts at times and then crashes into boot loop all of a sudden. Just curious if this happened only to me or did anybody else?

modifying framework.jar works, but will be hassle to support ...
may be you can consider using the following approach ...
as MediaGalery and MotoCamera have in its AndroidManifest.xml reference to external "libraries"
Code:
<library name="com.motorola.aui"
file="/system/framework/com.motorola.aui.jar"/>
<library name="com.motorola.android.camera"
file="/system/framework/com.motorola.android.camera.jar"/>
it will be easy to follow upstream, if you put the framework modifications is the above jars, instead of the framework (i have proof of concept that this works)
This way you want rely on decompiling framework, and putting all back together, e.g. it will be easy for you
Also if framework is odexed it can stay odexed
Then if everything is smooth, you just can "update" the upstream roms
Just flashed this ROM and from first looks it is pretty amazing!!! Little early to brag but wow everything seems to be working, still have to check fm radio. Thank you very much for sharing!

I used RSDLite and flashed the CBW SBF to start from scratch. If you're not familiar with this process there are alot of info here for it. Then before flashing this I wiped data and everything before and after flash.
PS... Looks like I will need to replace the music.apk it is in chinese... if anyone has it for 2.3.7 that would be great!
Ok, as you all know Scritch007 has compiled CM10 for our old X10, Considering how ICS was running on our device achieving a fast & reliable JB was sort of a dream but the dream has become true thanks to Scritch007 & CMX10 team as he's named it himself
So I opened this thread in order to keep the development thread clean & save the dev & others who want to actually contribute to the project the headache of having to go through non-development posts, You can use this thread for any noob/kinda noob/not so noob questions, issues or problems you have with installation or even the rom itself before confirming it as an official bug, "thanks" comments if you ever feel the "Thanks" button is not enough, any mod or extra features & add-on s that you request (because Scritch007 has clearly stated that he wants to deliver a pure & clean CM10 & he won't add these kinds of stuff) or anything else you'd like to say on the subject which is unrelated to development
Original thread in development section
Changelog, Links & other stuff you need to know
Installation Guide:
- First be aware that you need to be rooted & also on unlocked bootloader
- Download the latest version of the rom(cm10-v10.zip) & the latest kernel(kernel-CM10-v22.ftf) from HERE & copy the rom to your sd card (If you need Gapps grab it(gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) from HERE & copy it to your sd card too)
(The standard procedure for installing this is like any other rom: 1- Flashing the latest kernel using Flashtools 2- Powering on the device & booting into CWM recovery 3- Performing a full wipe (wipe data/factory rest, wipe cache partition & advanced > wipe dalvik cache) and 4- installing the rom & then the gapps; but as reported by many users you may have problems with the standard procedure specially If you's coming from other roms & kernels & this is your first time installing this, The problem may be facing a black screen & not being able to enter recovery & such, So I recommend you follow the instructions below which will surely work)
- Do NOT Flash the 4.1 kernel at first, Download & flash any other kernel that has a working CWM recovery using FLASHTOOLS (For example Scritch007's CM9 kernel or FeraVolt's ICS kernel), If you already have a kernel with working CWM recovery you can skip this step (Also it seems I should mention that by CWM recovery I mean ClockworkMod recovery not xRecovery, This rom can only be installed using ClockworkMod recovery)
- Boot into CWM recovery(by pressing the back key repeatedly when you see kernel logo & notification led) and Perform a full wipe (wipe data/factory rest, wipe cache partition & advanced > wipe dalvik cache)
- Install the rom(cm10-v10.zip) & if you need Gapps(gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) install it too, after that do NOT reboot, while still in CWM recovery, just power off the device (If your CWM recovery doesn't have a power off option, take your battery off, wait for 10 seconds & put it back again)
Attention: If you faced the Status 7 error (getprop error / assert fail) when trying to install the rom in CWM, HERE is one solution, The other solution is editing your current build.prop (system/build.prop) to make at least one of the conditions you see in the error message true
- Flash the 4.1 kernel(kernel-CM10-v22.ftf) using Flashtools
- Power on the device & let the fun begin!!
Bugs & Issues:
- Camcorder captures low quality videos
- Turning GPS on & off will result in losing Deep Sleep and therefore battery drain until next reboot
- Tethering turns off when phone goes into deep sleep
- Video playback in gallery
Attention: If you want to report a bug/issue, THIS is the proper & helpful way to do it
Fixes & Add-ons:
- Fix for when Status bar freezes & doesn't update: Reboot into CWM recovery, Fix permissions and Wipe dalvik cache
- Fix for no data connection: It's been reported by users that a simple reboot will solve it
- Working Timescape For This Rom
- [APK] Seeder 2.0.0 entropy generator to provide significant lag reduction
- Xperia Z lockscreen for CM10
- SONY Xperia Z Walkman Clear Audio+, Movies Album & BE 2
- [MOD][APP]AwesomeBEATS™ v.5
- Xloud, Bravia 2 and Clear Bass for CM10 v 6.0 (I don't know if it will work for later versions of the rom or not, so kindly test & report here in this thread)
- Experimental tweaks & tips posted by a member (please test & report the results)
- On-screen button for Beta V3
- [MOD/THEME][CM10]All in 1 Transparent
- For root access issues (which apparently appears when flashing Ferakernel) THIS might help
Themes:
- Official MEGA CM10 Theme Chooser Thread [541 THEMES]

Give it a try, i thing gonna love it
AFAIK, this gonna be a great base rom for mod.
Still on the alpha stage but, it looks really promissing.
For some above issues, i believe we can to handled it .
FYI
Screenshots: (Thanks to aleespa)
This is really a dream I think.No other developer ever has given this stable rom in such a good time. Scritch really has made the most awesomest rom for our X10. This deserves a mention to the portal. Please vote for his thread !!
This Rom certainly rocks!!
On my third day now I can tell you that battery life is great & the Rom feels wicket Scritch has to be a magician.
Until now the only bugs I've found are:
no sound over headphones
(playing music over power amp),
sometimes no vibrate
(incoming messages or alarm),
cm recovery flickering &
titanium backup can't delete system files
(you can delete them with a root
explorer).
All these bugs have been mentioned in main thread.
I guess my next donation goes to You Scritch
Here is a video review of pre-alpha (thanks to efgeni)
Added screenshots, bugs & issues and a note on installation process, Feel free to add or correct & I'll update the OP
Really loving this rom, by the way someone reported that by adding the sound fix, video playback in gallery will also work, can anyone confirm because for me it doesn't

After long time since I've released the last news, I've decided to discontinue this project.
I'm near final high school exams so I don't have the time to dedicate myself on the project and because, after 2+ years, my Nexus S left me with an hardbrick (I've tried applying Unbrickable Mod and replacing the motherboard but no luck).
You can find my last pieces of work on my GitHub account (https://github.com/Matsca09/Ubuntu-Touch-Nexus-S/).
I want to conclude by thanking everyone who tested and used this port and I hope someone else will continue this work to port Ubuntu on this great phone
Thanks again for all,
Matsca09

Hi everyone,
I want to share with you my port of Ubuntu touch for Nexus S.
What works:
Graphics acceleration
Backlight control
Calls (with audio) and SMS
Camera
Wifi
Audio
What doesn't work:
GPS (?, not tested)
3G connection (?, not tested)
Other things maybe
How to install it:
1) Download the base system and the system image from the 'Releases' section of this post.
2) Extract the 'ubuntu' folder from the Ubuntu image zip and copy it into the root of the phone storage.
3) Copy the base system zip into the root of the phone storage.
3) Flash the base system on your phone and reboot.
The TWRP recovery may report an error like "No OS installed" when you reboot/shutdown after flashing the base system: ignore that error.
Releases:
-- 13.10 (stable) --
Suspended -- 12.10 (preview release) --
Base system: DownloadUbuntu image: Download
Enjoy,

Hi everyone,
I want to share with you my port of Ubuntu touch for Nexus S.
For now it's a uncomplete port, most things doesn't work or doesn't work properly.
What works:
Graphics acceleration
Wifi
Calls (but no audio) and SMS
What doesn't work:
Camera
Audio (no sounds at all)
Almost everything xD
The ubuntu image is more like a demo than a preview, most of the apps installed won't work, but it's cool
How to install it:
Download the zip from this post
Unpack it: you'll find 2 zips:
ubuntu.zip -> Contains the Ubuntu touch image
ubuntu-crespo-flash.zip -> Contains the base system
Unpack ubuntu.zip and move the 'ubuntu' folder into the root of sd card
Flash ubuntu-crespo-flash.zip with your recovery
At the beginning it may be a bit slow, but later it'll work smoothly

Graphics acceleration
Wifi
Calls (but no audio) and SMS
What doesn't work:
Camera
Audio (no sounds at all)
Other things maybe
The ubuntu image is more like a demo than a preview, most of the apps installed won't work, but it's cool
How to install it:
Download the zip from this post
Unpack it: you'll find 2 zips:
ubuntu.zip -> Contains the Ubuntu touch image
ubuntu-crespo-flash.zip -> Contains the base system
Unpack ubuntu.zip and move the 'ubuntu' folder into the root of sd card
Flash ubuntu-crespo-flash.zip with your recovery
At the beginning it may be a bit slow, but later it'll work smoothly
Download:

Ok, I'm reuploading the files.
For the wifi: it's strange, now it doesn't work for me too but I was able to connect the phone to my school wifi network. Now I'll try to fix it.

Hello pureexe,
Oh Yes, Sorry for the confusion,
for me flashable was to say it can be flashed using fastboot -w update full*.zip
Sorry for that, i have not generated the zip file to be flashed by Recovery, and thanks for sharing the info, i will try that method also. a new learning for me.

While checking the config file i can only find below devices that can be configured in my source..
- galaxy-s2
- galaxy-nexus
- nexus-4
- nexus-s
- nexus-s-4g
- otoro
- unagi
- inari
- keon
- peak
- leo
- hamachi

- emulator-x86
- emulator-x86-jb
i fear we need to port as mentioned in B2G wiki. with the proprietary files extracted from the device.
However not sure if you already visited, but below link might be of some use to you.

I'd like to try FIrefox OS (on my Nexus 4), but not clear for me what is this so many files in your directory.
1. What is the diference between files in "full_mako-img-eng.administrator.zip" and files in directory directly?
2. What are these ramdisk files? They are necessary for install? I found and instruction, but in this intruction there are only four files:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Ok, I was brave (and I reread all post in this topic, and found the 5th post), and install thsi rom yesterday. Everything is fine.
Where to write bugreport? This topic, or bugzilla?
- data counting doesn't work
- USB connection doesn't work
- yahoo mail doesn't refresh the feed manually (?)
- GPS doesn't work
etc.
I am currently working to port firefox os on nexus 7. So totally focused there. But will try to see if i can solve. However i feel these bugs are in original source itself.
