[ROM][May8][RC1.6] WebCM9 with Cornerstone! AOKP #34 Beta1 live! Now with Themes!

VIDEO REVIEW:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na-iugam4eQ&feature=youtu.be
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your device due to flashing this ROM! Flash at your own risk!
Special thanks to the CM9 team, AOKP team, and Onskreen!
Extra special thanks to zanderman112 for the video review and new screenshots!
This is more-or-less a straight kang of CM9 and AOKP for the HP Touchpad with Onskreen's Cornerstone baked in. If you're not familiar with Cornerstone, check out http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/
In a nutshell, Cornerstone is a Android modification that allows for true multitasking. Not the "Press the Back button to go to the previous app"-type of multitasking, but actually being able to have 3 applications running at once. Cornerstone utilizes the additional screen real estate on tablets to keep up to 3 applications on your screen at one time. It's kind of hard to understate what a different experience Android is using Cornerstone. Check out the screenshots to see what I mean!
Cyanogen himself is using it and loves it, and is trying to incorporate it into CM9, although there are some roadblocks: https://plus.google.com/u/0/100275307499530023476/posts/ViCME1bb8F6 Having said that, Cornerstone isn't perfect- there are still some rough edges to iron out, and porting it to the Touchpad was a little tricky, but it should be
BUGS:
- All the known CM9 bugs (i.e. no camera)
- Wifi is buggy for some (see comments below) (FIXED)
- Bluetooth (?)
- Recent apps out of focus in landscape (looking into it)
- Changing the DPI messes with the CSPanel (although the functionality remains intact) (FIXED)
- Videos will not run with the CSPanel active, you'll need to minimize it for full screen (FIXED)
- Some apps get "stuck"- either rotate landscape to portrait or vice versa, or close Cornerstone and launch it again (FIXED)
- The Home selection menu is buggy- working on a fix (FIXED)
- Probably others
UPCOMING/TO-DO'S:
- Wifi fix (FIXED)
- You tell me
CHANGELOG:
RC 1.6
- Synced to CM9 repo 5/7/12- Now supports themes! (Note: CM7 themes do install and can be chosen from the Themes tab in Settings, however they make not look exactly the same as they did on CM7. Ask your themer to update the theme for CM9 for best results!)
- Updated wifi firmware for ath6kl (cherry pick of change 11/15011/2)
- Disabled Cornerstone on bootup. This is to fix the wifi issue- yes I can confidently say that this fixes the wifi issue. To start Cornerstone, you will need to manually press the application icon. (Thanks to OaT and viskon for pointing that out!)
RC 1.5
- Fixed disappearing taskbar
- Fixed FC's
RC 1.4
- Synced to CM9 repo 4/24/12

It's a pain, I know, but I don't want to use or modify Rohan's patch until I get his approval.)

5/8/12
Starting with RC 1.6, wifi issues should be resolved. Please let me know if you are still having issues though.
NOTES ON WIFI (PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!)
Update- 4/24/12
Wifi seems to stay connected without Rohan's Mod- AFTER rebooting 1-2 times. Try this first and please report back. Also, wifi will get flaky again if you reboot to WebOS and back to Android. Again, you will have to reboot a few times or flash Rohan's Mod again.
Update- 3/19/12
Many users are reporting that wifi works for them after installing Rohan's Supreme Tweaks 1.5. If you are still having wifi issues, here is the link.
Others are also reporting alternate wifi drivers helped them with their wifi issues: Thread here, direct download link here.
3/17/12
So I have noticed there are a couple of people with wifi issues using my Cornerstone ROMs. I also had a lot of issues with wifi, mainly with it not turning on after a restart, or finally turning on and seeing my wifi network, but not actually being able to connect to it. It was frustrating. Wifi is the lifeblood of the Touchpad! So I read through all the threads and posts about wifi, trying a bunch of different things, but there was one fix that solved my wifi issues permanently, regardless of what ROM I used-I switched my router's wifi channel to 1 (if you have a dual-band router, switching the 5ghz channel to 157 also helps, to a lesser extent). After that, I could connect after each reboot without fail. So if you are having wifi issues, please try that first.
Now, I realize some of you don't have the luxury of being able to switch wifi channels (for those connecting through work or school networks, for example) and I feel your pain. So I've switched to the CM Nightly kernel. This is the same kernel used in the CM9 nightlies, so you should have the exact same performance. So until there is a permanent solution to the wifi issues for everyone, please bear this in mind and leave comments on whether wifi is working for you or not.

One more for the road

Sounds great man. Thanks for the hard work. Will test asap.

this is great and I appreciate the hard work, but it makes really appreciate webOS in the fact that apps on the TouchPad like Glimpse does just this and works near flawlessly... Glad you guys are incorporating these different items.

Looks very promising, nice work so far!

The "fix" in cherry kang makes things better but it is by no means a permanent fix sadly.

Whatttt, trying this at home in a few hours. OnSkreen was the next thing to look for.
edit: wipe data/cache or flash on top?

I just want to reiterate that anyone wanting to use this should probably read the google plus discussion linked in the OP for the very real concerns. I just want the end user to use this responsibly in order that we can continue getting cutting edge features added to our devices. Pay particular attention to the concerns expressed by diana hackborn and the founder of onskreen (forgot his name, but cant seem to reopen the g+ site at the moment).
Thank you and have fun!

This is a no drama zone. Thread cleaned...of bickering. Here is what you missed;
THE MIC IS NOT WORKING ON THIS BUILD...LIKE ALL THE REST.
Now, let's get back on topic.

Which build of CM9 was this based on?
This build seems to have killed my wifi totally - I can confirm after several resets via ACMEUninstaller and starting fresh with both Alpha 0.5 and 0.6 (Wifi both working fine, I don't recall any issues with Alpha 0 either) Wifi was working - able to connect and access wifi, I then booted into CWM and flashed this and unable to even turn wifi on. (To clarify, my latest test was: Remove Android via ACMEUninstaller, Flashed Alpha 0.6, tested wifi was functional, flashed cornerstone ROM over 0.6 - wifi broken, cornerstone functional)
It's a really tough choice - having cornerstone is really quite cool, but I can't live without the wifi.
Am I doing something wrong (Am I supposed to flash via cminstall/ACMEInstaller2?) or is anybody else getting this?

You're probably not doing anything wrong....my WIFI was almost useless with this build also. I backed it up so that I can easily restore for when the bugs get worked out, but I had to go back to the ClassicNerd ROM for now since it runs flawlessly for me.

Yes, there was a reported problem with Cornerstone keeping Wifi toggled on startup. I'm working on another build that includes the latest CM wifi fix. It should be up later today.

Newb here ... I don't seem to have the market app installed after booting up this rom. How would I go about getting this installed.

Wait, I thought you needed 10 posts to at least post in a dev thread, you only have 5 at this moment.
@antiphon
Which build is based off of? Is it strictly a 0.6a + onskreen or is it later than 0.6a + onskreen or is it closer to a nightly + onskreen? Kang seems too broad a description, it should at least mention the base, or when it was synced with the repo.

Sweet....will there be an update to the Cornerstone app included? The one from the current ROM had an issue with the lower side screen where the app overlapped into the title bar of the lowerscreen. Also, in the demo vid from Onskreen, it shows a button that allows you to swap the apps from one of the smaller side screens to the larger main screen...this feature isn't in the current ROM so was curious...thanks!

Watching this thread VERY closely! I am so glad I got my Touchpad when I did.

thank you @XpLoDWilD for this feature. :good:

PA gapps of 4.4 I suppose?

Well , beside Camera/video issues there is UI lags/stutters and lack of custumization features.
Its a good start anyway
And btw, no multiwindow

PA Gapps 4.4 ODEX are needed for ART.
@XpLoDWilD : Is root working in ART?
EDIT:
Ok, root is working in ART but I had to flash chainfire root package

Thx XploDWilD for porting and new Thread.....
for me work all fin, but the data is very slow, 20 min for one download from Playstore......

I have low signal and a little ui laggy

Is it possible to install with TWRP?

cant get it to flash. Keep getting the status 7 error. i'm on the right recovery and downloaded the file over 20 times now.

i can't have root, i have to flash old su fix ?

It was the same metadata error. I got it fixed now. I flashed CWM 3.0.4.4. Now it works perfectly! Thanks!

Flash cwm-supersu-v0.96 and no root acces . No root problem with other 4.4 maybe tomorrow . Big kif for omni . THX .

I also have low signal :/

These GApps should work: www.mediafire.com/download/a84xzwn0w5lplhz/pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4-20131111-signed.zip
I haven't tested though as I'm about to flash this ROM coming from teksek's CM11 rom (WiFi doesn't work on his rom)

Low signal
Very laggy ui
Camera almost not usable (I think you should really focus 90% of your i9300 work on camera because even if everything else is perfect camera is still a deal breaker for most of the people)
Video playback impossible
Very low customization
Graphics glitch out when using default browser
Laggy 3D games
Im not going to lie to you , im kinda dissapointed , but then again I know its hard to do anything on exynos so thanks for even trying!
Waiting for new builds !

apex launcher works nicely on this build (12112013)
thanx again

Low signal : It's just a display issue
Very laggy UI : Uhm, video needed, because it's smooth as sweet here
Camera not usable is written in the Known issues section...
Video playback, same, written already
Low customization, we just started our alpha, just wait for a few builds
Graphics glitch: Video needed too. Default browser works like a charm here, zero glitch browsing AndroidPolice.com.
Laggy 3D games: Same as above. Video, or list an example game so I can test.
I'm running the same build as you (nightly), and have none of the bug you listed (that weren't known).

The signal is not low. Its a bug with the display of it. Its reading out a wrong value, currently its like 211424242 dBm and not even changing, just a visual bug

[Q] ROMs using JustArchi's optimizations

Hello
I was wondering if there are any Nexus 4 ROMs using JustArchi's optimizations (link). I did my best to compile OmniROM with these fixes, but I am not very experienced with Android development.

+1 to this post

Looks like our devices are too fast to use these "insignificant" compiler optimizations
I'll give my 5 cents these days to try compiling it..
Cheers

+1 for this thread.. I asked just the same thing in the general Q&A thread and nobody answered.. I'd like to see CM, ParanoidAndroid...etc.. built with ArchiDroids optimizations..

Like to see that too!
I've been searching for a rom with f2fs support + JustArchi's optimizations. Can be possible?

I created a topic earlier here
opssemnik said:
i can tell from personal experiences, its mostly placebo, tried archi´s rom on my gs3, and aside from the fact that the google camera dosent crash after first shot(witch occors on alot of roms ,even official cm, again on my s3), the rom is same speed, if not less than official cm. (on my s3 i9300)

Nevertheless, there are other statements that say it is faster, we can only know for sure if we benchmark this and find someone willing to compile a rom. Perhaps @legolas93 is willing to be so kind?

yeah i saw those,luck for them, thats why best rom threads are not allowed on xda, people get different results on their devices ,i plan to compile aosp with those just to test on the n4, but i doubt i will :/

No one is going to try this anytime soon.
The code is no where near perfect and it sets up an environment where there is a lot of room for errors which will result in VERY bugy, glitchy, crashing Roms.
The code is really sloppy and so far only JustArchi is the only one that has successfully used this in a ROM with out error.
There is still a lot of going back and forth in whether this really works since android isn't 90% thumb
All this is good for is benchmark scores. Just like F2Fs its all placebo in real world performance.
With a quadcore 2 gig phone... You're not missing much.
Legecy devices will benefit in the least from this.

First build is ready!
It is mako-userdebug.
I used Linaro toolchain(JustArchi's link) and JustArchi "JustArchi's ArchiDroid Optimizations V3" - https://github.com/JustArchi/android_build/commit/d8cc50d2472e497b431b5652516c9248ad7f3947
It is without Gapps (so PA Gapps must be used).
Build Env :
Debian GNU/Linux testing (with make downgraded from 4.xx because AOSP lunch require this).
AOSPA soruces 4.4.2_r1 used for the build.
No ART patches! ART will fail if you try using it.
Will test this today on my phone, and if successfully boot, I'll post a link for the ROM.
p.s : From back these days, where people find that AMD64 arch is here, Linux builds started to optimize the speed of your GNU/Linux for your specific CPU (Gentoo for example, or Debian GNU/Linux moved from i386 to i686 and after that to AMD64). Well, the tests and builds performance charfs finished with this : improvement of the speed was was something like 0.6/0.9% ... So in the real world reality do not expect much from this!
Regards ...
Edit:1
Boot failed
Next time, I'll enable the proprietary drivers in the build.
Currently new build is running with enabled prop drives settings like:

[ROM][HD+] Slim-ovation-5.1.alpha.0.1-UNOFFICIAL

Thanks goes to Hashcode, without whose original work, this would not be possible.

system - ext4

Is it Christmas already? Will be testing this ASAP
Setting it up now, so far so good. It seems to have fixed the audio issue with Amaces CM12, where keyboard sounds aren't affected by volume. Will keep updating as I use it.
Getting some graphical glitches when rotating the screen, and a few missing items in the Settings window, but not too bad so far.
There is a frustratingly large number of settings missing, compared to CM12, from status bar options to the power menu. Hopefully, these can be added later on.

Given a little time, I think I can fix the rotation graphics glitches.
(I'm going to try some omapfb/dss kernel boot arguments and try to get rotation out of system/build.prop).
There's lots of other little things to play with.
Noticed it won't retain my wi-fi password through a reboot.
I had read something about a new secure storage container to retain secrets?
Settings... I'm sure that's slimrom's "slimming"...
The graphics side of things held me up for a long time. That's mainly what I'm concerned about right now.

As promised, here's a source dump and another test build.

I'd love to, but when it comes to baking my own ROM, I'm very much the nubcake. I WILL offer my hardware to be a test subject though. I have a spare on hand that is not a daily driver.

I will go ahead to say that at first glance, it is very smooth, and responsive. I'll give it a couple days, see how it does as if used as normal, and work from there.

I tried to flash this, but it seems to have an endless boot. I waited about 30 minutes and lost patience. Do I need to flash something else first, like extracting the boot.img? At one point, I wiped everything including cache, system, data, internal sd, and had a pretty blank slate. I am using TWRP 2.8.7.0 and 2.8.7.1. Also tried f2fs on cache and data and ext4. I must be missing something.

Was going to ask which device until o read the list you have. M8 s a on CE phone, I love mine with the same ROM! I don't know why it would not boot fornyou though, unless you have system set to f2fs by mistake, as this ROM does not support it on system like @amaces does. Maybe if younused his, and hopped to this one, that little bit was overlooked?

Here's what I got so far: when changing between land scape, and portrait there is some graphical distortion, and a touch of lag which clears up after about a second. There is no advanced reboot option, and when I sure down, it reboots instead. When multitasking, there is a general UI lag which clears up spoon after., and it does not save WiFi information so you have to reenter WiFi information after every boot. So far, aside from slims slimming causing a desire for menu options, and theming, this is all I found.

Is this in continued development?

No, unless someone wants to take over. Basically it was an experiment for me to see if graphics in lollipop could match that of cm10(.2). In short the answer is they can't... (without a ducati upgrade).
The other reasons are twofold. First, the lollipop browser completely sucks (I know, there's alternatives).
Lastly, I don't believe I would ever achieve the level of performance as I have with my yellow kernel 10.2 ROM (which is my daily driver), this again is related to the ducati.
I would like to take another stab at a kitkat ROM and see if I can incorporate some of the stuff I have picked up recently.
I would have updated liquidsmooth, but they have already pulled kitkat source. So I am debating which ROM repo to use (I'm thinking probably Carbon 4.4? Tabletui is important to me...)

Hey Jon, I'm excited to hear you might be building a Kit Kat ROM. Would like to try one that has your improvements such as no screen flicker and still be able to use screen casting. Looking forward to your build.

Improve Redmi 2 (8GB/1GB) Performance

I own a 2014819 Redmi 2 with 8GB of internal storage and 1GB of ram. I've been using LineageOS 15.1 as of now and ever since I've installed the last update my phone hangs and freezes more frequently, and for longer time.
This happened in previous LOS nightlies and AOKP as well, it just was less annoying overall. I've tried fiddling with Kernel Adiutor, making so the minimal frequency is 1GHz rather than 800MHz, but that only made it worse somehow.
Does anyone has any idea how to make the custom rom experience more smooth on the lower-end Redmi 2? I don't wanna go back to an older rom if possible.

hi, there is no problem with cpu power but RAM! LineageOS 15.1 official builds does not use ZRAM and developers refuse to enable it (don't ask me why).
You can try to flash pico opengapps instead of recomended MindTheGapps (it will save some RAM by no including google search) and/or enable swapping (but it will probably kill your SDcard)

I had OpenGApps Nano flashed, but I avoid using Google things aside from the Play Store itself.
I also remembered that Low-RAM Property Patcher for Android is a thing and flashed the low-ram enabler. Works fine on LOS 15.1, but as said in the thread, some functionality will be disabled to improve RAM usage.
I'll use this for a while and see if it's worth it or not.

You can try Bootlegger 20180804 build, which is very good and has zram enable. And still smooth with minimal gapps installed.
