Figured you TOPA folk needed your own thread... At least to track TOPA-specific issues!
FRX07.1 is here!!
This is a maintenance release - basically taking the newest components to make a completely up-to-date (as of Sept. 1).
Quite a lot has changed since FRX06 - the install process hasn't really, but be sure to read the changelog in the next post and the caveats in post #3!
<<<This is a link to the... FAQ Click it!!>>>
I have created a complete bundle of FroYo with a stable kernel from GIT (August 19 / 1348), and rootfs from GIT (Sept. 2).
Please, feel free to DONATE to the XDAndroid project!
Every little bit helps!
Directions:
1. Download the full bundle (zip). (Updated September 1 2011)
If instead you just want the system.ext2 (zip) (Updated July 15 2011) file by itself... Don't download this if you're not sure! Grab the full bundle!
2. Extract it. You’ll see a folder, FRX07.1, copy its contents to the root of your SD card. If you want to run Android from a folder instead of all the files on the root of the card, follow the steps below.
3. Go into the STARTUPS folder. Grab the appropriate startup.txt for your device (if you don't know what device you have, you should read the FAQ), and move it to the root of the card (or where you run haret.exe from. If you want to change the location of the build, put a rel_path= statement in the cmdline section of the startup.txt. Mine is located two folders deep on the SD, so my rel_path=Androids/TP2Ref)
4. Screen calibration - you have three choices:
Re-use an old ts-calibration file if you have it and you know it's good.
Download the ts-calibration.zip file and extract it to where you put the rest of the files (root of SD or in a folder - make sure it all stays together!)
Manually calibrate - boot with no ts-calibration file and watch the boot process - you'll be asked to hit 5 points to calibrate the screen. If you have issues calibrating, try an older kernel (1225 works well) Once you have the calibration file hold on to it (make 15 copies if it's a good one ), reboot & go back to the newest kernel!
6. Run haret.exe.. Profit!
Let it settle out on the first boot. Many have reported they had to reboot basically because it was so slow - if you let it sit for about 10 mins so the media scanner can go thru everything, etc. it will be much more pleasurable experience. If you want adb in and watch the processes via top, you'll see why the phone seems so slow - there's lots of background processes cranking because this is the first boot .
Troubleshooting:
Please read the... FAQ
If you have any issues with the kernel, feel free to change it:
There are some devices that are having issues with the newest kernels. Please see the kernel autobuild service to get archived kernels. Once you download a replacement kernel, go to where you run haret.exe from - remove your old zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz. Take the new zImage/modules-xxxxx.tar.gz and replace the old ones, same folder - where you run haret.exe from. Make sure the ‘zImage’ is named just that. Do not rename the modules file, do not extract it - should be in .tar.gz format.
See Incremental Updates for more information on updating the kernel and other components.
Random issues can often be solved by forcing the system to create a new data.img. If you're worried about losing data (all user data is stored in the data.img!!), Titanium Backup works quite well. If you wish, you can rename the data.img to something else, and let the system create a new one - just to see if it resolves your problem.
Similarly, if you wish try formatting your SD card - I prefer to use the HP Tool - do a full format, FAT32.
Even though this build is considered fairly stable, you are more than likely going to run into issues. The next post will address issues particular to this build - PLEASE READ THESE before asking questions! Feel free to post questions in this thread, I will do my best to address them. Big thanks to stinebd for releasing the system image, and of course the other developers for their hard work on making these kernels available.
stinebd's Changelog:
stinebd said:
Here’s a new release for you, folks. This is a major release with a ton of changes, new features, and fixes. Our friend hyc/highlandsun did most of the heavy lifting for this release. Highlights include a rewritten RIL with support for world phones and greatly improved CDMA support; fixes for the media codecs; fixes for MMS on Sprint; increased security with the Superuser app.
A list of changes is included below. The FRX07 system image is available for download now, and will require the use of a new rootfs image, also available now. Additionally, we have a new bundle containing everything needed to enjoy a full FRX07 system.
Note: Due to the incredibly long list of changes, this is a somewhat condensed, terse changelog describing only the overall scope of the changes.
FRX07:
frameworks/base:
Major frameworks changes for CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
Fixes for data connection handling to improve startup time. (hyc)
Fixes for wifi handling to avoid issues on hanged drivers. (hyc)
Stagefreight (media codecs) fixes. (hyc/viruscrazy)
Fixes for Sprint’s wonky MMS markup structure. (hyc)
Fix MediaScanner not finding audio files (including ringtones) in system.ext2
hardware/libhardware_legacy:
Minor GPS driver fixes. (Alex[sp3dev])
Rename wifi interfaces to wlan0 on all devices (hyc)
hardware/xdandroid-ril: Major RIL refactoring for improved performance on all devices, and added CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
packages/apps/Gallery3D: Switched back to Gallery3D as the gallery app (closes bug #111)
packages/apps/Mms: Fixes for Sprint’s wonky MMS markup structure. (hyc)
packages/apps/Phone: Fixes for CDMA/GSM dual-mode worldphone support. (hyc)
packages/apps/Superuser: Added the Superuser package for authorizing su privileges. This, along with our signed builds, provides greatly increased security for the end user (mostly against malicious apps from the Market).
system/extras/su: Added as a dependency for the Superuser package
vendor/qcom/android-open: Include missing stagefright codec symbols. (hyc/viruscrazy)
To coincide with the FRX07 system image, the following rootfs changes have been made:
init.froyo.rc modifications...
Adjust wpa_supplicant service for the new abstraction provided by libhardware_legacy, as well as interface rename
Abstract the hciattach service to provide bluetooth support on both chipsets
Rename wifi interface to wlan0 on all devices
apns-conf.xml updated
keymaps completely reorganized, and RHOD end-call key has been remapped to be the Home key in Android.
default.prop: set ro.secure=1 to lock down the adb shell - su can be used with the Superuser app to authorize root access in adb if needed.

Layman's Changelog
(As in, the changelog I wrote )
FRX07.1 Changelog:
RHOD - all buttons on the front no longer wake the device. Only the power button wakes the device now.
Updated to the newest RIL
hyc's modified libs for video now baked in - *most* HQ YouTube videos (and other HQ videos) should finally work!
RHOD & TOPA - Userland (Android) now controls the LED by default now. If you need to debug sleep, you will have to change the behavior manually. See Detule's post on this topic.
Facebook sync should now work, out-of-box.
FRX07 Changelog:
Updated RIL (thanks hyc!) - this covers many different bugs that were in the old RIL - I'm only going to cover the major ones...
CDMA now works correctly (for the most part). force_cdma (and north_am_dialing) is now deprecated (not needed/ignored!)
You can boot with a SIM in on a CDMA device and choose your GSM or CDMA on the fly under Settings.
Location based on towers now works on CDMA.
1xRTT now displays correctly, but I never seem to get EVDO Rev.a... I always get 0. This is represented by a 3g icon, as this is what the Android framework provides.
Full MMS support! Please see this page for configuration instructions. Will need help fleshing out the list of carriers folks!
Spotty service, switching towers, etc should no longer cause the dreaded SoD (Sleep of Death) condition!
(Basic audio) 3.5mm support for RHOD400/500
Droidwall works out of the box now
Keyboard backlight now fades in/out
Gallery3D back in! Picasa Web Sync comes with it
A couple new apps added to AndroidApps folder:
rpierce99's app GetLogs
Titanium Backup
Caveats:
BT - works! But audio doesn't route. See this thread if you're feeling adventurous and want to play with/don't mind using some unstable/incomplete code...
After booting, TOPA seems to have a crippling issue where if the first call is inbound, the phone reboots. So I guess after booting make an outbound call and everything is fine? Someone please confirm...
That audio routing thread is in the RHOD section, and I've only tested it on a RHOD - but AFAIK it should work on other devices. Let me know.
Whew, here you go TOPA folk!
I figured you guys needed a thread for this, if only to track issues that are TOPA-specific. Let me know what I need to add in the caveat section for TOPA! Also let me know if ts-calibration file is good or not .
Also, if you guys already have FRX07 running/working... there's nothing new here. Mainly using this thread as a place for newbie's to go and you experienced folk to help me track issues again for new users!
I have a small problem,when I run haret it comes to animated logo and then my phone go to rebote?
Every time when is starting FRX07 the mobile reboot and start's windows?. Where is the problem?...

Yes,that's right...
And solution...?
Use the latest kernel and rootfs, not the ones bundled with frx07.

I've been switching my TOPA to FRX07 + .27 + rootfs (all selfbuilt) yesterday, and it boots up fine since the latest kernel fix.
So anything reported not working with latest autobuild kernel implies user error for me if it resets during bootanimation.
arrrghhh, thanks for taking care of the topa threads! So I can concentrate on not getting anything done for .35

HELP
I've got a problem with my Nook Color (BNRV200)
Tired of searching for a thread that tells you what to do when you need to install, fix a problem, need a recovery, etc. I have compiled a number of links to various threads by developers and others that answer questions that get asked a lot. This post is intended to give a site that will make finding these answers easier than a regular search. It will have a list of threads and posts with various helps, have a topical list of problems and sites which address those topics, links to common sites and app needed to get what both Noob and seasoned members need to work with and on Nook Colors.
You choose to make changes, flash ROMs, etc. it is your choice. You assume all responsibility for what ever happens. I list these links because I know they have helped and work for me as well as many others. If you need help with a particular problem addressed in these links, ask on those threads.
If you use information in any of these links make sure to click on the thanks button both here and in those links. If you want to write a thank you note also, that to is fine, but does not add to the "Thanks" counter. These people have worked hard for free that we can have greater enjoyment and fun with our tablets. Most get nothing for their time and effort so "thanking them" is their greatest return and the least the rest of us can do in appreciation. Credit and kudos are given by Authors Names in Post #2

Faster bootup
To get faster bootup you can disable the boot animation and save about 30 seconds from boot up time by adding "debug.sf.nobootanimation=1" to the build property file in the /system folder. This is a pain though if you keep up with the nightlies regularly like I do. I got tired of editing the file for every update or reversion if there was a problem with the newer nightly. So I created a script that goes into the Userinit.d folder that checks build.prop on every boot and adds the line if needed without any further intervention. The first boot after installing a new nightly will have the boot animation but no more till the next install when the process will repeat all automatically. Download the AutoNoBootAnimationScript.zip in attached files below, unzip, follow the included instructions and enjoy.

Installing new CM11 and latest Gapps and no Google Play. Problem /system is too small.
The Prefered way to fresh install latest nightlies: If you do a conventional (no repartition) install using the smaller 01/05 Gapps and install the other Goople apps through Google play. They install into the /data directory instead of the /system. You can do this also with Gmail, Sound search (ears), Google TTS and Hangouts.
Alternate experimental adventurous way. There are two .zips available that will repartition your Nook and give you more /system space and /Data space.
Dweatons mod of Leapinlarswork, Repart.zip, is here and will yield 1.1Gb /System, 2Gb /Data, and 3.6Gb /Media.
Mine is here and will yield 1.1Gb /System, 4.5Gb /Data, and 1Gb /Media. You must get and use a reformat 5,6,7,8.zip after the running the repartition.zip for dweatons get Leapinlar's here. For mine get it here. the difference is for his you must install with CWM before 6.0.3.6, mine works with 6.0.4.8. Reverts to B&N Stock /system are available here.

Customize Rom or Apps without being a developer - Xposed Framework
Customize Rom or Apps without being a developer - Xposed Framework
From Rovo89's thread
In this thread, I'm presenting a framework which gives you the possibility to modify your ROM - without modifying any APK (developers) or flashing (users)!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Get Xposed Framework and install instructions Click on "click to show content" box
For the framework:
Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!l
You can verify this by starting the Xposed Installer again. If app_process jumped back to an older version (or none at all), you probably have a ROM with S-On or similar, which reverts any changes to /system after a reboot. Then you can try to flash this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2308
For any modules you want to install:
Download <module>.apk and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the checkbox
Reboot
Done!
For information & help with Xposed Framework go to Rovo89's thread.
Once you have installed the Xposed Framework you can get many of the modules under the Download tab in the framework app.
There are also a large number of modules at this thread made for module developers to list their work. If the Modules indicate they are made for a specific phone or tablet they may not work on others. If you try and it does not do what it says it will do, contact the module maker, not rovo89, unless it is his module, ie: "Make Play store show all apps" or just un-install the module. No guarantees they will help. Some only have one tablet and only develop for what they have.
A Short list of some of the things you can do using Xposed Framework and modules.
These do all work with CM11 current nightlies and CM 10.2 last nightly, 1/19/14
For more info on Modules listed install Xposed Framework and click on Download tab
Change color of status bar / notification bar. Xposed Framework - X Blast tools. Plus lot more. By femblack.
Network Speed Indicator - by fatminmin. With 123 below the up down speed can be shown in two readable rows. ** This will not work with CM10.2 Stable with the 3.0.8 Kernel or the updated hack fix kernel
Play Store link in app info - by qwerty12 - Does what the title says
App settings - by Tungstwenty & Rovo89 - What it is: This is an Xposed module that allows changing generic settings on a per-app basis. "Generic settings" means settings that are global to all applications, such as: perceived DPI, rotation behavior, fullscreen, etc..
Play Store Fixes - Rovo89 - Make play store show all apps
Enable SwiftKey predictions in more places - by qwerty12 - Email address website and filter list fields.
123 Dimension Editor. - by Hamzahrmalik - Change various UI dimensions: Status bar height, Navigation bar height and others. I doubled the height of my status bar and shrunk my navigation bar.
Cool Tool: - by Deviant Studio Software - Monitor various system info in floating window or in Status Bar. I have time, day, date, Free Memory and Battery Temp in two rows of my status bar.
Status bar volume. - by Niko001 - Move the volume bar over the status bar.
I do like things my way. That is what Android is noted for.
This Module "Workaround for Netflix on CM10/CM10.1" works on most any CM10 thru 10.2 Rom.
From Kaepernick's post.
"Well, thanks to Entropy512's help, I was able to modify his Xposed hack to work on CM10 (based on Android 4.1) and CM10.1 (based on Android 4.2) for the Incredible. Using the newest Netflix app and it's working well without issue.

Run CM10 & 11 smoother and get more free memory
Tips to help CM10 and CM11 run smoother, less laggy, etc.,
and have more free memory on your Nook Color
and maybe even a little longer battery life.
These are a collection of tips that have been collected from various post in XDA, personal sharing with others, and as a result of my own desire to try to improve things where I can. I have tried everything listed here and each adds a little to smoothness(s), free memory(f) or battery(b) life. My CM11 flashed Nook runs quite smoothly, with free memory at desktop running from 110 to 160 Mb and six to eight hours of battery life depending on type of constant use. This is on a nearly three year old tablet. I have partitions set to 5Gb data and 1Gb media. All apps are in the tablet. I also have a 32Gb Sdcard. I also have over 220 apps including system apps. I use my tablet from 6-8 hours or more a day.
Unless noted all apps mentioned are available through Google Play. I recommend the apps, etc., because they work for me. I get nothing out of it except the joy of helping others. Like everything try at your own risk. This includes app I have on my Nooks. If you have other programs you can try adjusting them as I have and see how it helps, or not. Trying and finding out what does and doesn't work is half the fun.
Free and simple
On all CM10 and CM11: (s) Try lowering your maximum clock speed to 1000, or even 800mhz in System, Performance Processor, Maximum CPU frequency. Many have reported improved smoothness at slower speeds. Faster can run ahead of itself and actually make things jittery. Make sure to check Set on boot to retain settings.

Don't delete them since any ROM update you install will replace them, freezing / disabling them will last through an update. The stock App manager allows you to disable most of these. Titanium Backup and Rom Toolbox Pro can freeze more but do cost, though I think they are well worth the price for what they deliver. There are some free "App freezer" programs available. I've only tried Chef's App Freezer, check the ratings and comments.Android Keyboard (ASOP) - I use Swiftkey (lite is available)
Camera - (No camera in Nook, no need of file)
Com.android.smspush. No phone text.

Talk back - If you don't use or need it.
Trebuchet - If you use another Launcher.
Voice+ - No Microphone or phone, no need.
If you use a different clock than stock, calendar etc you can freeze / disable the stock version. Example: I use Dejaoffice to link with Outlook on my PC so I freeze Calendar storage, calendar, and calendar sync.
Change app permissions: (f,b) (for apps that run at startup and then stay in memory even when you not running them.)
I use App settings, it requires Xposed Framework to run but once set up does it's thing in startup, changes permissions, and closes. To get the Xposed Framework go here.
The most common causes of this problem are the following permissions: receive boot completed, vibrate, and wake lock. Not all apps can have these turned of. App settings has the ability to launch the program from is menu. Try turning off a permission, save, menu (launch). If it works great, if not go back and turn that permission back on.
The following is a list of Apps I changed permissions on and which permissions I disabled to keep them from persisting / sticking in memory:Advanced Task Manager: receive boot completed, and wake lock.
Alarm Clock Extreme: read phone state, receive boot completed, vibrate, and wake lock.
BusyBox Installer: receive boot completed, and wake lock.
CPU Master Pro: receive boot completed.
Crackle: receive boot completed, vibrate.
DejaOffice: vibrate.
Elixer: vibrate, and wake lock.

Titanium Backup: receive boot completed, vibrate.
Winamp: vibrate.
YouTube: receive boot completed, vibrate.
Advanced Task Manager: (b,f,s) Put the widget in dock, set your ignore list in app. One press and all unwanted apps go bye-bye.
My Ignore List:
Adfree, Elixer Widget, Alarm Clock Extreme, K-9 mail, Nova Launcher, Swiftkey, Speaker Boost, Pie Pro, Earthquakes, AFWall+, Clipper+, DejaOffice, Tasker, 360 Security.
Not so Simple but worth the time, still free

You can change the size of the cache to both internal and external SDcard. I find with my class 4 Sandisk SDcard a setting of 4096KB works best. A benchmark is available to test your settings. If you have a faster card ie: Class 10 you can try larger cache sizes and save as custom.
Not Free but worth it (IMHO)
Upgrade to Nova launcher Prime:
In Nova Settings: (s)

New Apps - check Auto Add Short cuts, (make sure to turn off auto add in Google Play.)
Labs - Check the following, Big Grid size options, Widget Image Async List, Widget Image Cache, Restore Widgets Faster. (s)
Upgrade to Rom Toolbox Pro, LagFix (fstrim) Premium (scheduling trims): Get more bells and whistles and help support the developers.
Upgrade to 32 or 64Gb Class 10 SD card - Buy a 32Gb Class 10 SD card, about $20.00 + ship, prepare as usual and you'll cut your access time to the SD card buy about half. I can do a 2Gb recovery backup in about 5 and 1/2 min. With my Class 4 it takes just shy of 11 minutes.
More Memory Buy a Sandisk 64 Gb Class 10 Micro SD card, about 40.00 + ship, and partition the whole card as one Primary partition, format as FAT32, Sectors/ cluster 32 (16384 bytes) using "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" available for free here. I have donated to MiniTool since I use it for all kinds of partitioning,(resizing, moving, copy, etc.), on PC's and all kinds of flash memory. I started with the partition set to 30,451.33, copied my data from my 32G sdcard. It worked great and with SD boost set to 4096 all SD access was noticeably faster. So I used Partition Wizard to resize the card to the full capacity, the program changed the size and copied all the files in about 20 minutes. Plugged it into the Nook Color and went from 17 GB free to 47 Gb Free. It is a bit slower than the 32Gb & and the bootloader doesn't list CWM or TWRP recovery kernel or ram on the SD, but oh the storage. I can put over 40, 2 hr AVI or MPEG movies on the card and still have better than 20Gb free.
If you have other Apps, tricks, tweaks that you have tried and found to help. Please reply and I will try them out and list them if they do add to the smoother, longer, freer Nook.
Netflix on CM11 on SD
Good source of info. Thanks! Confirming that latest Netflix is working on SD. See that thread
If you use Speaker Boost try this to save memory.
Ever since CM7 and Nook Color Tweaks, in has been necessary to find a way to boost the sound output of our little wonder tablet. I tried several an ended up using Speaker Boost. I have found that I no longer need to use DSPmanager. The problem is that freezing or disabling the app doesn't keep it from installing in memory and using 18meg of precious RAM. Renaming the file with.bak extension or deleting it works after a reboot but, if you like to keep up with the nightlies like I do it is re-installed with every update. It gets to be a pain using a file manager to do this every day. So let your Nook do the repetitive work.
So I have worked up three quick and easy ways to rename the file.The best and easiest is the last.
1. Is a Tasker task. This was the first one I used and I setup a widget so I. Can rename with one tap. The.xml file can be imported as a task into Tasker.
2. Is an apk made from the Tasker task. It works the same way just doesn't need Tasker to work.
3. A script file that can run at every boot, check if DSPManager.apk exists, and rename it. This eliminates having to rename it and reboot after every ROM update as it is renamed before the app is loaded. It is only 279 bytes and is the only file that has to remain to work. In the 90RnamDSP scripts.zip below are three files. One that goes into userinit.d folder, an instruction.txt file and an installation script that sets everything in place just by running it.
I want to thank LeapinLar for the help he gave debugging the rename script. This was my first script and had to get everything in proper order and get the syntax correct. What I learned help me build and debug the installation script in a few hours.
Download, unzip, import, install, etc, and enjoy.
Thanks, nice job

*Full wipe recommended if coming from another kitkat rom*
MAKE SURE TO HAVE A BROWSER APK. THERE IS NO MORE STOCK BROWSER. For firefox see below.
My personal build "Diamond Rom 4.4" is based on omnirom with the following additions:
CM Calculator (the newly redone one they're proud of)
CM File Manager
CM Wallpapers
Bash shell
Nano text editor
Powertop
Koush's full featured open source superuser (and it's INTEGRATED into settings :cyclops: )
Carbon rom blue balls wallpaper
Cyanogenmod port of 2 column settings adapted to Omni rom.
Omni floating window
I've added a few of my personal touches which include
Batter circle color changing: green 100%-51% yellow 50%-16% red 15%-0% This was my favorite I9000M framework-res mod that I've missed since switching to CM7.2 way back.
Killed lock screen music full screen (personal privacy thing when riding public transportation)
Disable android external storage management: messes with ext4 formatted hard drives or multi partitioned hard drives. Use the unix style mount command
Disable hardware keyboard on boot: disabled but not removed. You'll have to manually turn it on
Removed camera sounds
Disable SELinux at the kernel level. It's even disabled on my laptop/desktop at the kernel because it seems like it's more trouble than it's worth.
Put the dalvik cache in the cache partition. Don't waste the data partition for it. :cyclops:
And of course, comes bundled with my A1 kernel :cyclops:
Every thing I've tested: camera, youtube hd, sound, gps, usb otg(use manual mount command) etc work.
*Instructions*
First time flashing omni:
-Read second post FAQ and other important information.
-Flash TWRP (you can flash twrp over cwm from cwm if you're in that situation)
-Reboot into new recovery
-Make recovery backup (optional)
-Run Titanium Backup (highly recommended)
-Full wipe
-Format system partition
-Install ROM
-Install gapps
-Reboot :cyclops:
Subsequent flashes:
-Install ROM

FAQ
How do I get multi window: Settings-->(second) More --> App circle bar (check box) && --> Included apps (choose what you want available in multi window)
Yes you can flash TWRP over CWM
Random flickering: Try Settings-->Developer options -->Disable HW Overlays.
Can't install a very large quantity of apps: fix
Can't mount ext4 media: kill the e2fsck process assuming you safely removed the media before sticking into the tablet.
(Below this is optional)
(Android device manager does have legitimate uses. However, please read and consider the following paranoid but realistic fantasy:)
Completely disable android device manager: By only going to Settings->Security->Device administrators and un checking "Android Device Manager" this doesn't completely remove the ability for google to send in commands to your device. Go to the google play store through a web browser, choose android device manager, and try "ringing" your device. To my horror, my tablet started to ring as if it got a phone call. I don't find it acceptable that gapps gives google a way to setup a remote command and control operation. In any other operating system this is considered a back door or virus.
To close this back door install Xprivacy. Enable system apps to be modified. Look for the entry (should be highlghted in red to indicate a system app) "Google Account Manager, Google Backup Transport... (lots of items here) ...Google Services Framework". Check mark Notifications and open its menu. Check mark the items in red. These are cloud to device (c2d) permissions which do exactly what you think. While not necessary, disable identification too for good measure. This disabled the ring feature on my tablet which means android device manager should no longer be able to send in commands. I don't have the guts to try the device wipe feature but it should work too. Do not disable location otherwise google maps won't be able to find you which means no gps car navigation.
See this post about building from source. I use a different, simpler trick for prebuilt chromium binaries. Fear not, they are source built but only when there are real source changes. They're just recycled in between to save 90mins/build of time.

Another 4.4.3 for the tab?
Thank you very much!
Hi AAccount,
thanks for your 4.4.3 ROM, sounds promising ... however, what about the graphical glitches on that vesion? I always went back to ROM version CM10.2/SGT7 as this seems to be the latest one without those glitches (last version I tried was Nameless ROM version 4.4.2 where they were still visible ... and annoying).
Thanks in advance,
mistersixt.
Great job!! Runs fast without bugs and glitches, only youtube HD...
The best kitkat rom!! Thanks !
Enviado desde mi GT-P7510 mediante Tapatalk
Best kitkat rom. I have some glitches. It is not as smooth as cm10.2 so i am going back to cm10.2.
What graphical glitches do you mean? I think ever since omni fixed the screenshot way back most graphical bugs have been ironed out. By youtube hd do you mean it doesn't play or can be laggy? If you mean laggy I read on wikipedia the GPU video decoding on the tegra2 sucks. That's a hardware problem.
3G build and new recovery coming later today. I cheated the chrome renderer build process by copying all the freshly done ones from the wifi only output folder.
My github is now fully up to date with all the appropriate omni repos forked with my personal touches whether it be the audio blob fixes or little things I like.

With all ROMs starting with 4.3 it looks like if a flash of lightning goes from one corner to the other (my wife is saying it looks more like a scratch) for maybe 100 ms, this happens quite constantly though, every minute or something. Also, in some games like flappy bird the application gets stuck for maybe 100 to 200 ms completely (every 5 to 10 seconds maybe) before it continues, this makes playing games unpossible (temple run is another good example).
With 10.2/SGT7 this does not happen ... for whatever reason.

I added instructions. There's no really preferred gapps package. I just like that one because it's the smallest one that gets the job done. There are some gapps packages that are bigger than the rom which I consider bloated.

I get these randomly sometimes but not often enough that I would consider it an issue. In angry birds it's an issue but if you go to Settings-->Developer Options check mark "Force GPU rendering" and "Disable HW overlays". Then you can play angry birds at least without the lightning.
And now for an important question
I have a script that puts /data/dalvik-cache on /cache/dalvik-cache as it was way back in android 2.2 froyo. Even though our tablet shipped with android 3.0 and my I9300 S3 shipped with android 4.0, Samsung seems to have been very sloppy and left the /cache partition huge to accomodate the froyo standard. This is a waste of space that will never be used. The cache paritition is 0.5GB. Is it OK if I include this script as a boot script? Is 0.5GB/500MB enough for most peoples' dalvik-cache? This will free up that space and add it to the internal sd card.
Great room, thanks! Everything working OK during the first hour of use

Thanks for posting this! Great ROM. Only problem I'm having is the APN settings are blank for my 3G tablet (P7500). I input them manually and everything works, but normally they are preset.

Many thanks for this!
"Disable HW overlays"- for some reason this setting does not stick between reboots (not your ROM problem- it happens in all devices that I've ever seen). Is there a way to apply it automatically during or after boot? Such as in a script, or init settings etc?
Regarding the Dalvik cache, is there a way to know how much space all my installed apps + system are currently using?

Go to the CM File Manager --> Settings --> General Settings -> Compute folder statistics and check mark that box. Also in the same area be sure to set access mode to prompt user mode or root access mode. Then, go to /data and hold dalvik-cache folder until get a menu and choose properties. The size will show up under "Size: ". Mine is 208mb.

Afaik it doesn't support 4.3.x ROMs. Try any 4.4.x ROM.
Ok, I will try. But if you can make this kernel for previous versions of Android, it would be nice.

Sorry for your time
deep sleep bug? reboot bug? voltage limits? persistent config by userinit.sh?
Hello!
I got several questions regarding the usage of this kernel's voltage and clocking/voltage options:
1. Everytime my mobile goes to deep sleep, it sets maximum clock to 400MHz and minimum clock to 100MHz. It stays so after enabling and while using the phone. It's horrible slow. So I got to increase maximum clock by hand everytime the phone was in deep sleep before.
What's the problem there?
2. After rebooting the maximum clock is always reset to 1000MHz, although i had set it to 1150/1200MHz before.
Why?
3. I noticed 1200MHz not being completely stable on my device. So I wanted to increase the voltage for step9.
In /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_slot09 i saw the default hex value for VARM was 0x3f. So I tried increasing this to 0x40 and 0x41, but the voltage shown in this file didn't increase anymore.
3a) So is the voltage capped at 1362,5000mV or is it just not displayed correctly?
3b) Will increasing Varm to more than 0x3f do anything at all?
Also I've seen the voltage called Vbbx (default value for step9: 0xff)
3c) What exactly is this voltage, and how does it go together with Varm?
3d) Is there a way for increasing voltage any further than 0x3f for Varm and 0xff for Vbbx?
4. For persistence I tried automatically setting changed voltage parameters on boot, using userinit.sh.
The file didn't exist before, so i created it as /sys/local/user/userinit.sh, set the perissions to 755, and added the following content:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo set_volt= 1 > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_slot09
echo set_varm = 0x41 > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_slot09
But the script doesn't work. After rebooting varm for step09 is always at default value (0x3f).
4a) Why doesn't this work?
4b) I think it maybe is not working because the above command needs to be run as root, but how could i do this in userinit.sh without sudo?
Many thanks for patience and help!

1. Everytime my mobile goes to deep sleep, it sets maximum clock to 400MHz and minimum clock to 100MHz. It stays so after enabling and while using the phone. It's horrible slow. So I got to increase maximum clock by hand everytime the phone was in deep sleep before.
What's the problem there?

First of all, notice that deep sleep is a power state in which the CPU has a very low voltage consumption.. Therefor its not even clocked at 100 Mhz. With this Kernel, when screen is off, the clock is set 100-400 MHz if its needed (by wake locks).
Now, I see that the problem here is that it stays when you wake the phone. What ROM are you using? You could try flashing the Kernel again.

Why?

Unless this values are set compiled in kernel, you will have to manually set everytime you boot. But a quick solution is to enable the "apply settings on boot" on the app that you are using to OC. (You can use ROM Toolbox if your ROM doesn't have built in this options)

4. For persistence I tried automatically setting changed voltage parameters on boot, using userinit.sh.
The file didn't exist before, so i created it as /sys/local/user/userinit.sh, set the perissions to 755, and added the following content:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo set_volt= 1 > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_slot09
echo set_varm = 0x41 > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_slot09

Try deleting the space between "1" and ">" like this:
Code:

echo set_volt= [B]1>[/B] /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_slot09
echo set_varm = 0x4[B]1>[/B] /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_slot09

Hello!
I'm using Carbon Rom by novafusion. There's an update from 27.10. now, and I'll see later if this helped against this particular problem!

In Carbon there's an option for applying saved values on boot. I used these and I also tried CoCoreManager, but both didn't apply my saved config although I had enabled this setting.

Ok, I will try this. Is userinit.sh being executed as root by automatic?
Thank you!
Ok, i found multiple bugs in my script and corrected these.
The script currently is like:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo set_volt=1 > /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_step09
echo varm=0x41> /sys/kernel/liveopp/arm_step09
The commands are working from terminal/SSH, but playing them in /data/local/userinit.sh doesn't change anything after reboot. (file is marked as executable!)
So can anyone help please how to make this working?
I still believe it's maybe because of the script not being executed with root permissions, but I'm not sure about that and I don't know how to work around this without a sudo command.
Also I still could use help with my remaining questions from my older post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56343298&postcount=10
Thank you!

If you already did, then flash your full ROM again.

I think for saving your phone you should flash your previous ROM (the one you had on that phone before) using Odin from a PC. If this doesn't help either you should try Full Wipe and flash stock ROM.

I didn't see anyone else trying the kernel on stock-ROM, yet. You should write a PM to ChronoMonochrome about this, so he can tell the developer.

The fact that the kernel is pretty good, I loved it but I need the wifi I use it all day and does not serve me well beyond virginity v14 rom that I really like, I tried it on the newest cm11 but I do not really like this rom I hope for the next update will fix this kernel as serious buenisimo roms have oc in stock or stock -based.
Description
This module is my port of Crossbreeder, the old version was designed for Android 4.4 and below. So if you try use it on Android 5.0 and above, you will have some problems with it.
But now I have fixed that problem, and have changed some of the script; which was out-of-date. I have also added some new features of my own.
Details
For those who want to know what is this mod for, here are the details:
Random/Frandom tweak
Remove /dev/random as it's blocking . Link it to non-blocking /dev/urandom. Since /dev/random is blocking and designed to protect us from Quantum alien cryptographers with mathematical certainty and urandom is non blocking pseudo-random device that most apps and OSs are using anyway and with Haveged running, is as secure anyway as it's very difficult to empty the entropy pool faster than Havege can replenish it. Pre ICS devices have a lot to gain with this but ICS+ devices show visible gains too.
Haveged/Entropy tweak
Modulate OS entropy levels for lag reduction ala Seeder. The whole OS reads either /dev/random or /dev/urandom and both need entropy. However this mod uses a completely different, lightweight and efficient random number generator called Havege . This sharply reduces cpu consumption and corresponding battery life loss compared to Seeder. It also does a better job at keeping entropy levels high hence your device is more responsive. It doesn't run in a CPU intensive loop either. The extend queue functionality has also been added to CrossBreeder. See here for another rationale favouring Havege compared to Rngd - ( Look for the limitations)
Fix "Only position independent executables (PIE) are supported" problem on Android 5.0+ device
Here is how to fix it :
1. Install the Hex Editor.
2. Open the file in Hex Editor.
3. Find the 17th number, if the number is 02, change it to 03.
4. Save the file, that's it !
[Add-on 1] Dynamic Z-RAM/LMK
This tweak will automatic find how much ram do you have, how much ram do you left, then according to these value to set zram/lmk size.
[Add-on 1] Dynamic Power Saving
Here is the original post, I found this feature in Feradroid v0.24
A little translate:
DynBS can significantly reduce power consumption without shutting down the main functionality of the Android device (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile Internet, screen brightness, background processes) by reducing unnecessary high-frequency CPU when not needed.
Magisk Busybox Restorer
This module will let the busybox can be used externally at Magisk v15+
By linking the busybox in /data/adb/magisk to /sbin
Only support Magisk v15+
Trouble Shooting
1. Stuck at the boot stage
---> Reboot again ---> Not work? ---> Flash it again to uninstall it.
2. Application keep crashing after installed this module
---> Just disable Dynamic LMK.
3. CTS Profile miss match
---> Enable all the ways that you can hide the magisk, if its not work, then you can try Universal SafetyNet Fix
4. Any problem about CPU frequency, like your device become so slow, or become warmer, etc.
---> Disable DynBS can fix the problem
5. How to open the setting menu?
---> Open terminal, and type "cbconf" can open it.
6. The phone shows the message of rebooting/turning off but after 30 mins ,the process is not finished
---> Try to forced shutdown
7. Busybox-ndk failed because of install CrossBreeder
---> Try to use mine busybox
This module only test on my HTC One M7 running latest Slim 7.1.2 with Magisk 15.3
Not tested with Android 8.0+ yet.
If you want to install any add-on, you must install the main mod first.

I'm on Lineage OS, OnePlus 3T, Radioactive Kernel, and for some reason whenever I enable this module, it breaks Root (MagiskSU). I'm not sure if this is a known problem, but if not, now you know. ;P
Yea it breaks safetynet for me when I enabled it on magisk. Though for the mod itself that seems to be working great, don't know if it's placebo but I am noticing a little less "lag" on some apps.
Finally, was searching for any information on this module, and got nothing except the original. Any reason why it took so long for a thread to be created about it?

I messaged Rorsch about making a thread for their module a couple of days ago, so I assume the thought just didn't occur to them to make a thread. But now it's all good because there's a thread for it

Seems to be working! Although it's not 100% stable, it's better than having a totally broken Root.
This module gets me stuck in a strange bootloop everytime: I've tried 0.3a version some a week's ago and now with 0.8b. Phone seems to be booting, it passes Google splash screen, there's that little vibration that means the phone's booting right and then it gets stuck in there. Which logs should I provide to be helpful? Maybe last-kmsg?

Maybe... but we could just try something easier... ;P
What tweaks have you got? Like; are you using other Magisk modules? Have you changed your build.prop via an app like L Speed, or something like that? Have you made any kernel tweaks? What CPU governor are you using?
It sounds like something CB is trying to modify is conflicting with something else.

As tweaks, I've removed HEBF and LSpeed apps because I've had the same idea as you. As Magisk Modules, I've installed some camera and audio mods (Some very common mods for 5X: eis, 60fps libs, surround audio mod), Universal Deep Buffer remover, Selinux permissive script and Viper. The only one which modifies build.prop is EIS module. Does Crossbreeder modify build.prop too? Should I remove EIS in order to make this work?
As CPU governor, I'm using interactive (governor profile:Glasscannon)

That's strange because usually it's very very fast, it takes something like 3-4 seconds after the vibration. Eith this module installed, I've tried to wait even 10 minutes without any success.
Now I'll retry and send you Magisk log.

I don't know about conflicts, but I saw you're using the audmodlib module by @ahrion with the V4A module by @metaspook. That Viper module isn't made to utilise the audmodlib... You probably wanted this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-viper4android-fx-2-5-0-5-t3577058

I am a big fan of crossbreeder... However...
Iirc without frandom... You are not actually generating "random"
And according to what I have read (stop me if I'm wrong)... The less "lag" you are seeing is from that random number generation keeping your processor a little more ramped up... Equivalent to turning touchboost up a notch... Or raising your cpu min frequency...

I have tried am3d & v4a & Audio-Modification-Library & deep buffer remover with my CrossBreeder , but they all works fine.
Where were you stuck at? Boot Animation or Boot logo?
By the way, are you using Android O? I see libfmas.so & android.hardware.audio.low_latency.xml & android.hardware.audio.pro.xml in the log you sent to me.

I get stuck at bootanimation after the "boot completed" vibration (that little vibration which runs a few seconds before the phone booting, usually reporting that boot process has been nearly completed). I've never experienced a situation like this in 6 years of modding so I don't know what could have gone wrong: the vibration usually doesn't trigger (when phone can't boot and gets stuck in a bootloop) or after a few minutes, a few seconds before booting (when the OS takes a lot to mount partitions or compiling caches, per example when you clean flash a new OS and caches have to be rebuilt). It's so strange that vibration fires and the phone doesn't boot anyway. I've tried to let the phone work for something like 20 minutes (which I consider is even too much for a simple boot) but nothing happens anyway.
Anyway no, I haven't updated to O yet because some mods aren't compatible with it yet so I've stopped on 7.1.2 which is stable and fully supported.

Maybe the some script conflict with your system, try this version, you can enable/disable the tweak by yourself.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1nFPsNMRIiiM2xocl9RTGt3OEk
After install this version, you need to go to /data/CrossBreeder, open the file with text editor then change the 0 to 1 to enable the tweak, I disable all in these config files.
P.S. Don't edit the CONF
