[ROM] Cornerstone

Cornerstone is a multi windowed ui application that allows you to see and interact with 3 applications in the same window. Cornerstone requires changes to the framework so unlike other apps must be flashed and baked into a ROM.

Does this work for WiFi xoom? I see an _1, does that mean it has improved already?

Question
Is it possible to get a md5 hash for the download file?. I assume we install the zip file with CW over the EOS nightly rom. Any info would be appreciated.

Yes, this is for the wingray model. 0.85.1 is the newest version. Changlog is here http://github.com/Onskreen/cornerstone/wiki/Cornerstone:-Version-History

Yes, I just flashed the zip on top of EOS rom. As far as md5, I don't know.

So if this if for the Wingray model, I assume flashing it over the EOS Stingray version would result in loss of mobile data? Has anyone tried?

See OP has been updated with EOS builds. There are stingray builds there. The EOS team needs to start a cornerstone nightlies thread IMO.

Wingray Cornerstone V1 here:
http://goo-inside.me/devs/teameos/roms/cornerstone/nightlies/wingray/Eos-wingray_cornerstone-1.zip
Installed it over Nightly 78, looking fine but with problems. No Lockscreen, no rotation, dpi was changed (think this is needed to get cornerstone working) with the result that some my icons are invisible on the homescreen. Thinks it´s going the right way, but at the moment...back to 78 Let´s see the next releases.

Flashed it over Stingray Nightlies 60, then I flashed Gapps 10.5 after for safe measure, works like a champ. No issues so far.

There is a Stingray version available but when I flashed it my 4g stopped working. I'm at work right now and can't connect to wifi but I will try when I get home. For now I am back on Stingray nightly # 63 but will be trying this on a regular basis until they get something that will work.
I'm pretty excited about finally getting a nightly for cornerstone

I flashed the Eos Cornerstone build and don't have the buttons to swap windows. Is this
something that's missing by design?
TIA

Swapping of windows has been removed.

Installed over build #78. Working well, with the issues already mentioned. I will use it for a while and see what I think.
Team EOS does such a stellar job...we are really on the cutting edge.
On edit: the wingray Cornerstone build is a bit too unstable to use as a daily driver, but I can see that it is really coming along.

I've been running this for about a day over nightly #78 and there are a few issues that I've run into, but I'm going to continue using this as a DD unless the issues get worse.
Here are the problems I've encountered:
- the clock on the notification bar does not update. Because of the time not updating, third party clock widgets on the homescreen give a "Problem displaying widget" message
- Beating on Cornerstone (running memory hogs in all three panels) can make it force close. If it force closes, the only option is to reboot. If you try relaunching Cornerstone, the launcher force closes and Cornerstone never comes back up.
- Some WiFi issues. The notification bar shows me connected to a network that is well out of range and I cannot connect to a new network. I have to keep toggling WiFi on/off and I am eventually able to connect to another network.
- Stock live wallpapers do not size correctly - extremely zoomed in. For some reason, third party wallpapers work just fine.
- Lockscreen works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't
In addition to these problems, which are more of an inconvenience than catastrophic issues, here are some things that may be reported as "issues", but are not truly issues:
- the density of the main screen changes when Cornerstone windows are showing. Apps at the extreme right and left edges of the home screen will not show when the two extra windows are showing, but will show in full screen mode.
- if an app is coded as strictly a tablet app without resizing, it cannot run in the small windows, only the main panel.
- you can only run one instance of an app
EDIT: It looks like some of the clock/wifi issues were fixed by reflashing Cornerstone and GApps without wiping cache.

is anyone else's headphone jack not working now under the EOS Cornerstone nightly 1? Audio is playing for me through the speakers and only the speakers.

I flashed the wingray nightly and I didn't have any problem till now!
The limit of only one instance for each app can be a little annoying but not a real problem.
If I won't find serious bugs this will be my daily

My headphones were working fine this morning when I was watching the Rum Diary on the train. I'll try to test with more apps later.
Edit: Confirmed, my headphones work across the board. Maybe a wipe and reflash is in order fir those having issues.

I agree, but still, a very cool app with a lot of potential. Knocks out my Calender and gmail Widgets and apps. Force close problems. Would like to get window switching back. Uninstalled, until next update.

I have been running cornerstone 1 over build 64 with no issues what so ever. Here's what I did when flashing from build 60. Flashed 64, flashed gapps 10.5, wiped cache and dev cache, rebooted. After reboot, rebooted back into recovery and flashed conerstone 1 and gapps10.5, wiped again rebooted and everything is working flawlessly. It is running extremely well with the kuma kernal by rogue. What I have found is if you are having issues with cornerstone just reflash it with gapps and it will usually fix the issue.

I tried conerstone-2 and it worked OK for the most part but the HDMI interface did not move audio to the TV and left the output on the built in speakers. I will give the next release another look as I believe that it has advantages.

9/28/15 Performance Update build 7SRA- UEA2

Hi everyone! Seems like Alcatel has released yet again, another performance update! This new update, build number 7SRA-UEA2 has the following changes:
General Performance Improvement: Overall software enhancements aimed at improving device responsiveness and overall user experience
IPv6 Support: Device now fully supports the Internet Protocol version to IPv6
Snapchat Performance Fix: Addresses crash issue when using Snapchat app that arose when users would swipe while selecting filters
Facebook Messenger Performance Fix: Users can now share recorded audio files via Facebook Messenger
Camera FV-5 Lite Application Fix: Fix that addresses the rear-facing camera functionality when using the Camera FV-5 Lite application
Also, Band 12 LTE is still enabled after this update. I can also confirm that the filters/crashing issues with Snapchat are indeed solved. Feel free to reply with your own experience below!

It would be nice if TCL would give a release date for an actual Android update.

I just got the update. Scrolling performance seems better and stock camera seems better. Anyone else notice any improvements?

What do you mean by freezing? Did you just install the update? My phone was freezing after the update just finished. It takes awhile for the phone to finish the initial configuration. After about 5mins. My phone started to work again.

Nah, everything is working perfectly

Just got notification of the update. Need to charge my phone before downloading and installing it.
Want to read more reactions to this update also.

It was freezing for me right after the update finished. A few reboots later, it appears to have stabilized. The Recent Apps still has the lag - but other than that it is flying now ! I had to revert the animations to 1x !

Yeah recent apps still has lag, but I can live with that. As long as Alcatel keeps up with the updates.

Yeah, I noticed the "FlipCover" option also. http://www.alcatelonetouch.us/Aero-ALCATEL-ONETOUCH-5-5-inch-Smartphone/dp/B00ZAR87FI

I already had the Flip Cover option in my 6045Y since I first booted it (10-ish september, I guess?).
However, I can't install the OTA because I'm rooted, is there any system image or ZIP to just flash it? I don't care if I have to format it, I just don't want to unroot it to be able to install it.

It's to your advantage to actually INSTALL the update. Update's make changes to more partitions than just System and Boot which is what the TWRP images restore..they are great for fixing a hosed system partition but if you use them all the time you are going to miss out on newer radio drivers and other changes which may be required for things to work smoothly.
Do a full unroot from within supersu config...reboot...download and install the update...after sucessful reboot you can reflash TWRP(if replaced by factory recovery) and then flash the supersu zip file to re-enable root.

Instagram is still a stuttering mess.
GPS Icon bug and AM/PM lock screen misalignment are still present. Can't believe those two easily fixed things have made it past 3 updates.

GPS Icon issue happens on more devices than just the Idol however there is an xposed module to fix the issue.

This update thoroughly fixed the issues with Snapchat filters - works great now - but the stutters scrolling through Instagram are my one glaring issue with this phone. Also most videos in my Instagram feed won't play immediately and repeatedly flash a "repeat" or "play again" icon while loading the video, only to have most of the videos never actually play. I've never seen this app behavior on other Android phones.
Regarding the lock screen, I could swear they reduced the font size on the clock with this update (or I'm just now noticing the AM/PM misalignment?).
Can anyone confirm if this update fixed the wake-in-pocket issues some people were experiencing? I haven't had enough time to test.

i downloaded the update where is it located? so i can dig it up with es file explorer

Welp, phone unrooted, still can't find any update whatsoever. I'm using a "french" 6045Y BTW.
Any clue here?
PS: Flamewolf, a .zip package can also edit partitions on it's own accord, just because normal CROMS don't do that, it doesn't mean they CAN'T.
For practical example, just check out sdmerge for the E400. Do you think those .zip use magic to add 1 GB to your phone?

Still no update for 1st or second update in Eastern Europe (Croatia/Serbia/Bosnia)

I doesn't have the update, I'm using a 6045Y (French).

Are u Facing these issues ? ..

so want to ask you guys that are u Facing these issues related to software same as me ??
All the apps are not latest updated like dont kno why but all apps are updated but are sometimes missing features like chrome is to latest but same version is on my other op5 and that resulted in a bottom address bar but not in MIA1
when we are in landscape mode many times the headsup and the notification panel is pulled from the top left side (if rotated as power button is facing sky)
In instagram like there is no option for superzoom am on beta also ..i installed app after sharing and then it worked for 5-10 min on app close and destroy it reverted with no superzoom
most of the apps are not to latest version and cant get updates if we check
some small freez sometimes
worst is the google old dialer even the caller photos are not seen
I AM ON LATEST DECEMBER
If you guys have same issues then its ok mi is lacking otherwise tell me the solutions :crying:

1. not aware of any such app
2. didn't notice this, but I'm not using phone in landscape much
3. not using Instagram
4. didn't notice this, all my apps get updated regularly (though I hope you're aware of staged rollout of updates)
5. not a single freeze experienced
6. by default we have AOSP dialer which lacks some features, Oreo should come with standard Google dialer

Yes the bar in landscape goes from top left instead from center. Dialer is pissing me off too, but it just is supposed to call. Didn't notice any freezes though.

Yes and no for all your issues? You're cocky, aren't you?
1. Nothing like that here. Check your internet connectivity.
2. Haven't noticed.
3. I don't use vanity fair related apps. Still, out of curiosity I've checked Instagram and everything works - but I'm using the last stable December update.
4. Again, check your internet connectivity.
5. Haven't noticed any freezes so far.
6. The Google Phone app will be included as part of the Oreo update which is coming soon.

No Instagram, not sure.
No issues with freezing after updated to December.
No one calls me. So....

Miui : notifications problems. How to solve this ?

Hi,
Since i've bought this device, i'm happy with it regarding the price and the overall quality. But one thing is bothering me each day a little more : the notifications. One day i receive them all, no problem, next day i'm not informed for a new snap, next day with whatsapp, receiving Gmail notif 1h later after receiving the mail... Very annoying !!
I've tried stock Miui, EU china and EEA global... can't see any improvement, still not regular... I love Miui full gestures and still want it, custom roms have problem with gcam and whatsapp video call, i use both of them each day... i've seen custom miui rom but all in russian... not that much info... is it really safe to use them ? I'm a hard user of google products, from phone to youtube, maps, gmail, agenda, drive...
Is debloating with Saki tool a way to solve those problems ? any others ideas guys ?

I've heard about this issue so much. It seems to be a problem with MIUI and I've not seen a fix for it. I can recommend custom roms where the Gcam/Whatsapp video issue is reportedly fixed though. Pixel Experience (non-CAF version) and Lineage OS (by letsmakecakes) reported that they have fixed these issues. You can try them as I've read they have good battery life too (reportedly better than MIUI). I'm currently on Syberia and waiting for these fixes to be ported to other roms too, which i think will happen soon.
One advice if you switch to Custom roms; don't flash custom kernels. Stick with the one provided in the rom. I've had huge battery drains with evira 3.8 and 4.1.

Yes, i've just seen that the PE rom seems to have both working now !! i think i'm gonna try it or another solid rom (love AEX !!) as soon as it's confirmed it works. For the full nav gestures, any advice ? it's the thing which make me stick to Miui too : a REAL full screen with perfect getures within have to move my hand to the bottom of the phone each 15 sec

The edge gestures implemented in rom in my experience are a bit laggy but you can always use an app like ubikitouch or fluid navigation gesture to solve the problem

I've tried a few roms (AOSPX, Havoc, LOS, Bootleggers, Descendant, crDroid and now Syberia) and almost -if not- all of them had fullscreen navigation options built in. Personally, I am using "Navigation Gestures - Swipe Gesture Controls!" by XDA on play store. I paid for the app but it's cheap and works increadibly reliable. Even the free version should have more customizations than MIUI. (Don't use hide navbar option in the app, disable nav bar in the ROM settings)

Great !!! I will wait for the next PE stable build and gonna give a try to it ! I've seen Havoc and others have added in changelog "remove hal3/hal1 switch" : are they working on this fix too ?

I sure hope so. The fixes should be open and shared among the xda developers. I'm sure every maintainer would like to implement this fix on their next update.

[OP8T][OOS12][C21] Workaround (xposed module) to OOS 12 AOD notification issue; seeking better solutions

After I upgrade my OP8T to OOS 12 (KB2005_11_C.21), AOD won't show notification icons for any app in the work profile. The only way to see them is to tap and exit AOD (they do show up on the lock screen). I'm not sure if anyone else is suffering from this, or it is just my problem.
Haven't found a better way to solve it while needing my phone to work badly, I made a tiny xposed module to work around this issue, and decided to share it here in case someone has the same problem.
Oxygen Updater just told me KB2005_11_C.33 (incremental OTA) has been released. I'll try it some time this week and hope it solves the issue so that I can remove this "yet another workaround module".
