Oxydo v16 Kernel installation - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys! Just picked up my Nexus 7, loving 4.4.2 so far, but sadly more eager to try out Oxydo v16 kernel than anything and for the life of me I can't figure out why the files are zips, but yet downloading them yields a non .zip file on my computer, or directly to my Nexus. Has anyone else ran into this issue? I have 4 years under my belt with Android but yet I'm seeing something so simple is being very complicated :cyclops:. Any ideas??
Also I am currently running Purity ROM with the stock kernel.

Have u tried renaming the file? It happens to me often with other file types and a simple rename fixes it for me usually.

No I have not, lol, sadly I can't believe that wasn't a first try on my end, I will do that after work. One thing that doesn't make sense though is all .zip files in the developers drop box have this issue, yet no one has reported it?

Well, I just downloaded the latest version of Oxydo from his dropbox site and it worked fine for me. The file I got is a zip file already. Im not sure why it isnt for u. Which browser are u using and do u use winrar or some other software?
If renaming the file works for u, just ignore the above and reply back

Firstly, I am greatly pleased to see someone appreciating my kernel so much as to download and try it before anything else when there are clearly so many things to try out here.
Secondly, when downloading from Chrome it often snips the ZIP extension. Doing what @anshulratchet has said will make it flashable.

T-mobile VoicePlus Beta

So has anyone on here gone into the VoicePlus Beta? A lot of people on there are curious if anyone has looked into rooting the img or extracting the Apk. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Voice...ash-the-Voice-Plus-Beta-ROM-Image/ta-p/325923 Even one of the mods has said he uses Cyanogen and was wondering if anything was going on over here.
p.s. Cyanogen....you ROCK!

why not just extract the apk yourself using an appmanager? the post to forums
complete
Honestly...because I've never done it. ;-) I know not a really good reason, but between school, work and the fam...I haven't been able to take the time to learn. I'm hoping that over my next deployment (I'm in the Army also) that I can learn to create an app and maybe cook a ROM.
Interesting
I like the CityID and the call divert and call defer seems neat - hopefully better visual voicemail than T-mobile's other app.
I'd like to see it integrated in Cyanogen, and SuperD roms
its a waste, dont flash u will LOOSE ROOT
i pulled the system image
ok, I've been picking this up as I'm going... I extracted the nbh file and now have .nb files, but I dont know where to go from here...
anyone can point me in a direction would be helpful. I have SDK installed and can make and start a virtual device.

initrd.gz problems

I am at a loss here. I am running CLK 1.5 PA 1.1a with tytung r3, however, the device gets icon flash similar to icecreamtosti, where the icons do not respond without a reboot.
I wanted to flash Dorimanx v6.9 or v7.2 HWA, and understand I need to place the ROMs initrd.gz file in the initrd-custom folder. I have tried this on Snow Leopard & XP to no avail using a variety of different compression programs including 7-zip. I unzip the kernel and the ROM, put the PA 1.1a initrd.gz in the correct folder and rezip it. Each time though, even after re-downloading the kernel and ROM, I get an error within CWM, which reads that the installation has been aborted. Why is this? Do I need to re-compile the kernel in Android Kitchen? (I do not know how to do this by the way) or what else am I doing incorrectly? I have trawled the XDA HD2 forum, but had no luck. Suggestions?

You don't unzip the contents. By doing so you break the signing. What you wanna do is open your ROM zip using 7 zip then browse to the initrd.gz file copy to your desktop, close everything. Now open the kernel zip file browse to the initrd-custom folder open it. Now double click and drag the initrd.gz file from your desktop to the 7-zip window which has the kernel zip opened to the initrd-custom folder.

Have you tried installing the kernel without adding the initrd.gz? I remember getting that error when the download was inturupted or something. So if you still get that error without editing the zip, then it most likely is the zip file and you need to redownload. Because if you did exactly as i said then it should be working. Im a long time user of his kernel's on almost every ROM out there and never once ran into any troubles. But we will surely figure this out
Can you post a link to the ROM you are using, and i'll download it and edit the kernel then repost it in this thread for you.

I flashed it with success, but it doesn't feel as snappy as tytung r3, it takes a few seconds to unlock and load programs, even clocked at 1612mhz and experimenting with ZRAM on and off. Thank you though, I will probably stick with tytung's for the moment though, did you use 7-zip to transfer the initrd.gz file?

Hmm i wonder if its cause i took the initrd.gz from an older version of Paranoidandroid. I have version .6 on my computer thats why i used it. I'll redownload the latest and try with that. I might even flash it myself and test it out. Maybe the lib files need to be transfered as well. Dorimanx has by far been the best kernel for myself, but i dont really care for ICS yet but when i was testing the waters i used DM kernel and i loved it. Snappy responsive and pretty awesome. It just lacks a boat load of features i rely on in CM7. CM9 claimed they will re add the features once they iron kinks out so once they release a better build i will most likely convert

Very curious by this statement, and admittedly, my own android experience is limited... I've used ACA SD android for a number of months, and have switched over to ICS. Currently with ICT & DM's 6.9 kernel, but love the UI in hybrid mode of PA... and so, am really curious what you meant when you alluded to 'missing features' that were in CM7, but not CM9. What was lost? What am I missing? (sincere question) Thanks, -Rob

Well, there are two that i pretty much LOVE and cannot live without xD
Those are,
1. Disable full screen (status bar remains visible no matter the app, has a "hide" button if you wish to use full screen in a game or app, then you can unhide by pressing home key(my choice))
2. Really big one, lockscreen gestures. I love being able to draw a 'C' on my lockscreen and open the phone whitout having a custom app slot being taken up. Plus, gestures allow for an app to run while still displaying the lockscreen.
THose are the only two big ones i will miss, there are a few more small ones but i dont remember without flashing CM9 and checking And its been awhile since ive tested the waters, so i might download the latest AOKP and CM9 to see where they are at. But they both are good and pretty cool. CM7 is just perfect for me. No issues what so ever.

It would be brilliant if you could test out the kernel with the initrd.gz from 1.1a PA, that might explain why it felt slow when I tested the original.

[Q] Help with PA, Matr1x, and my Nexus 4

Hi everyone ,
I got my Nexus 4 yesterday and I love it! Before I got the phone I did a bunch of research on loading custom ROM's and kernels, and even pre downloaded everything so when it arrived I could start tinkering right away. At the moment it seems Paranoid Android is an ideal ROM for me, as it strikes a nice balance between simplicity and customization. However, it seems that the Matr1x kernel doesn't run well on it due to the JSS/JWR incompatibility issue that came about with Android 4.3. I'd like to run the Matr1x kernel because it has a great balance between performance and battery life, and does some fancy GPU over clocking/CPU undervolting for you that I am too afraid to do on my own.
I found a zip file on the xda forums that remedies the incompatibility issue and allows Matr1x v11 and PA 3.99.1 to run together without issue. So my questions are these:
1. Is there any risk in using this JWR/JSS zip patch? Finding it was a pain in the butt and not many people have commented on its quality or where it comes from. Is it safe?
2. PA's gapps package has a bunch of G+ stuff included that I don't care about. Is there a way to remove it like in some of the slim gapps packages?
3. Has anyone else encountered a static hiss/ticking coming from their earpiece? It can only be heard faintly when the device is up to my ear but it's a little frustrating all the same. Is there a fix for this? Does the device's warranty cover it?
4. Finally, I have one thing I am confused about regarding rooting etc: I have CWMod installed on my phone and I have unlocked my bootloader. By unlocking my bootloader, have I also rooted my phone?
Thanks so much for your time!

1. Should be safe, as long as you have a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.
2. You just delete the apks from the gapps zip. (system/app)
3. Haven't heard of it. Hope someone else has a solution.
4. Well, no. The term "Rooted" only applies to ROMs, when you have a superuser app and binary installed (Supersu, superuser etc.). But, you are just one step from rooting (Flashing the supersu zip).
All custom ROMs are already rooted, so you don't worry about that.

This is the only thread I could find with a direct link to the .zip, which has me a bit skeptical since downloading it from a Google Drive account seems kind of sketchy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45690500
That said, it does work. It got PA and Matr1x running together very smoothly, but I reverted to my backup of stock PA before entering any private info because I wanted to see what others had to say about it first.
Thanks again!

I think it may not work. It has Adreno 200 and MSM8960 libs in it, a GPU and CPU that have nothing to do with the N4's APQ8064 and Adreno 320. You can still try, because they most certainly don't do any "stealing credit card" stuff.

I did some more digging and found that the guy responsible for the patch has a profile on xda, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3873953 and he seems pretty legit. The patch is also linked in the Purified Kernel thread page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368548 as a recommended work-around for the JSS/JWR graphical glitching. I installed v1.0 on my Nexus 4, which did nothing to help, then I installed v1.2 (linked in OP), and I now have Paranoid Android 3.99.1-RC running (so far) flawlessly on Matr1x v11. Pretty happy about that .

Nemesis Rom patch for GSM N910P

This thread is dead! Please delete!
aaron74 said:
I tried posting this other night but xda started maintenance that night. And I just started new job and van broke down tonight. So I'm late. But anyhow this is what I wrote that night.
After seeing last few post(pg 85) of Nemesis Rom. I decided to put a patch together for you guys installing on GSM 910P (should also work for N910T also). This is how i installed this on my device and works.
Because this is aroma Rom I didn't want to flash fixes after Rom.(I wasn't sure if it'd cause a problem). So this will help you integrate. This patch already has T Mobile data patch inside and also works for Sprint gsm users like me.(personally cause I use gsm, I prefer it This way). Sorry Sprint users i can't help.
This patch also includes RamV2 kernel for Sprint. But there's also 2 empty folders one for N910T and one that's called Custom. That's where you put your boot.img.
If you need to edit build.prop further for your data it's in there but works for me as is.
Also note I left the 2csc files (features.xml & others.xml) untouched.
Pretty much all I did was add the aurora data fix minus csc edits. Plus options for kernel. I also added Flipboard cause i like it over upday.
How to use.
1. Unpack Rom.
2. Unzip my patch twice (I double zipped it so noobs can't try installing in twrp)
3. Put your boot.img in folder you want.( In /nemesis/kernel/your device)(already has Ram V2 in N910P)
4. Copy all files over to root of Rom zip.
5. Repack Rom and flash.
Choices will be in aroma for your kernel.
Enjoy!

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work on my N910P
Aroma ROM didn't recognise my kernel.
It showed kernel for only N910F and N910G
I later put my boot.img into in both folders on two different times but ended in bootloop and intermittent vibrations.
Thanks again for your guide

So sorry for that. When I built the patch I put the wrong build.prop in it. I was testing different settings on my device and that was a bad one. :crying:
I fixed link and updated post. Everything should be fine now. It is identical to the Rom I packed that I installed. :good:
Haste makes waste!

Ok @aaron74 I'm going to give one more try.
But can you give a detalid guide as to the kind of files to be copied to which destination?
The last time I copied only the boot.img file to the nemesis/device name folder in the original Rom.
I see META-INF in your patch, do I have to copy that as well and overwrite it since folders with same name are found in the original Rom?
Thanks

Sorry but my time is limited to a few hours at night, to get on here. I use to get on all the time, was self employed, but now working for someone.
But you copy the whole folders over to root of Rom. But you obviously got it working.
I made a post already on devs thread. Told him he could post it there if he wants. I didn't post it there cause it's just for our device and didn't want to disrupt his thread.
Glad you got it going. I love this Rom. Runs good, good battery, awesome Rom control app. Other N7 ports run alright to but I hate that bright white boot up screen they have, plus I have to mod them a lot to get running right.
I just hope this dev stays with the project.
And no, I am not a genius. I've just retained a lot of knowledge from tinkering and from all the dev and modders here on xda. But thanks for the vote of confidence. :laugh:

Also, Do you use Sprint service? (Cdma)
Or GSM service?
Battery usage.
I've been running Rom for 3 days now. So battery stats should be calibrated ok by now.
Below are some pics of my battery usage. I've been working a lot so you can see I don't have much screen on time. But I think the battery usage of this Rom is very good, especially with the Ram kernel.
Do you have to resign zip for success?
Edit: After having issues attempting to install the rom with this patch, I did the following to successfully install:
1. Unzip Rom
2. Unzip patch twice
3. Take the folders inside of the Nemesis-patch folder and copy them to the inside of the NEMESIS_V2_NOTE7_PORT_N4_SNAPDRAGON folder.
4. Select everything inside of the NEMESIS_V2_NOTE7_PORT_N4_SNAPDRAGON folder and zip it up as NEMESIS_V2_NOTE7_PORT_N4_SNAPDRAGON_PACKED
5. Transfer NEMESIS_V2_NOTE7_PORT_N4_SNAPDRAGON_PACKED to the root of your sd card
6. Flash packed zip.
Thanks for the patch @aaron74 and thanks for the rom @anggara08

I use GSM.
You are a genius because you made it possible for me to install a ROM that I wanted so badly
Only problem is the ambient light sensor.
It doesn't work properly
The screen goes very low even in bright environment.
To get it working I always have to pretend to make a call and put the phone close to my ear and back before it works
But for that and the fingerprint, everything works flawlessly.

That's from AOD. It's buggy on all these N7 ports. Either turn it off. Or what seems to help me, if your screen opens up dark, just relock phone pushing power button, and immediately push it again to unlock it.
It's been working for me, and only takes 5 extra seconds. AOD also flashes for me, which I haven't found a cure for yet.

Do you have to resign zip for success?
Edit: After having issues attempting to install the rom with this patch, I did the following to successfully install:
1. Unzip Rom
2. Unzip patch twice
3. Take the folders inside of the Nemesis-patch folder and copy them to the inside of the NEMESIS_V2_NOTE7_PORT_N4_SNAPDRAGON folder.
4. Select everything inside of the NEMESIS_V2_NOTE7_PORT_N4_SNAPDRAGON folder and zip it up as NEMESIS_V2_NOTE7_PORT_N4_SNAPDRAGON_PACKED
5. Transfer NEMESIS_V2_NOTE7_PORT_N4_SNAPDRAGON_PACKED to the root of your sd card
6. Flash packed zip.
Thanks for the patch @aaron74 and thanks for the rom @anggara08

No, you don't need to resign.
Did you download my current link? When I first posted this, I had wrong build.prop file in zip. And I just fixed it a couple days ago.
What program are you using to zip with? Also are you using Sprint phone with gsm?

I figured that you didn't have to zip. And yes, I was working with your newest build.prop. I am on a Sprint phone with gsm for freedompop, but about to use tmobile.
I am seeing some issues with the rom though that I didn't see in Norma v10.
1. NFC is missing
2. Rom Control is different
3. I am unable to titanium backup restore many things which causes FC's all over the place.
4. AOD is horrible.
Is there any way to grab AOD, NFC and Rom Control from Norma v10, since they are fixed on that rom?

You probably can swap. It's just figuring out exactly what to swap and erase. I was gonna look into some of this. But I've been too busy with work.
Good luck!

Sorry bud. I haven't had much time to get on here.
Yes I wrote the thread a lil vague, more for people that are use to this stuff.
When I get some time, I can try to walk you through this and make a lil better guide.
This is just bad timing. I got so many things going at once. Just started new job, fuel pump went out on car, just bought a new ssd for my laptop trying to get time to install fresh Linux. Just put new 128gb sd in this phone and all my files are gone. Between all that and Christmas stuff with kids.
I use to be on here hours at a time down to hours per week.
I actually just seen new Ram V3 kernel for our device and was gonna update. I'll get back with ya. :fingers-crossed:

Err_Connection_Refused after Bad Santa Root (LG-LS997)

I'm having issues with my browser giving me the error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" on some sites. Tumblr in particular. I have tried to change DNS on my phone with no luck and tried to use a VPN with same results. I noticed this with the Tumblr app when I tried to login that it would give me an error saying I'm not connected to a network. Other sites seem fine like Google, Facebook, etc.. but with Tumblr, and more (dare I say) adult sites are giving me this error. Not sure how i would go about fixing this and everywhere I have looked so far has giving me no solution to this. Is this a result from rooting, or am I just oblivious to the solution. Anything the would help would be appreciated.
Are you using the custom rom or trying to use your stock one? The stock one is broken(for now)
If you are using the custom rom try formatting your data and see if that fixes it. Dirtysanta methods need to be done from a clean install only.

I followed the tut. from the dirty santa thread and used the LS997-deODEXd-signed as it was stated to be used on my sprint lg v20. Im still new to android device rooting and all so im not sure if it was a custom rom or stock one i used. I formated the data on my phone when doing this process byt ill do it again when im able to get to my pc.

You are on the custom rom like you should be. Did you flash the updated kernel in my second post?(Konverged kernel)

Awesome to hear. Did try a fresh format and still have the error connection refused :s so for now ill wait till you get your files uploaded and see if that would help thanks so far tho
Delete the host file and then
Go and rename the hostfile from .bak ...It's In system/etc

Just delete it, it will create a new one... It some sort of ad blocking that is creating your problem.
