[ROM]CM7 Kangs - Latest 2012\08\27 - Bravo Android Development

Sorry for the long delay. I inally have everything sorted out and the temperatures finally cooled down enough that the random brownouts have stopped. Lots of new things in this release. I suck with changelogs and the way I built this rom makes it hard to know everything that's changed. I rescripted Maniac103's Defy repo for the Bravo and am now using that as my base. Before I was updating a cloned Quarx CM7 repo with cherrypicks from Maniac's and FuZZ's Defy repos..
Some new features include
Bootmenu Pin Protection
Wifi Calling (untested)
SmartassV2 replaces Smartass, conigure it with smartass's settings in the bootmenu
Voice Commands
More Tablet Mode Features, you'll see them
New FM Radio
Nuance Bluetooth Voice Dialer

-Select Install Zip from SDCard
-Find and Select the Rom you just downloaded
-Flash It

Updating From A Previous Kang Instructions
-Reboot into Recovery
-Select Install Zip from SDCard
-Find and Select the Rom you just downloaded
-Flash It
-Reboot:victory:
Wiping Cache and Wiping Dalvic Cache isn't necessary since I added those commands to the installer script. Adding those commands makes updating simpler, less prone to errors, and less presses of the volume and power buttons.
I need to look in touch recovery and touch bootmenu.

NOTES & BUGS:
I've sometimes had an issue where my pc won't connect to adb since the phone won't give permission. It usually only occurs after the first 2 or 3 boots then magically fixes itself. I've also had usb data tethering fix the adb problem. If you don't use adb on your pc, then this isn't even an issue for you.

CM7 Mods
Just a couple of mods I use with CM7.
Bravia Engine - Sony Image PP engine for sharper images.
Beats Audio - Sony Audio engine with improved bass and treble -- can harm inferior and crappy headphones and speakers (Trust Me).
All the zips are flashable in recovery.
Credits for the zips go to their original makers, which I can't remember since I downloaded them a few months ago and can't find the threads I found them in (somewhere here at xda).

Skeevy your rom is lightning fast! Thanks so much! Thanks for beats audio and bravia zips too!

Hey skeevy420 can you give me a link to the older build for some reason no matter which baseband I try on the July 13th build I can't get 3G/H on my network

EDIT: ah nvm ill just be using the jelly bean rom in the mean while

Also, does anybody here use the stock filemanager? I know I don't; I can remove it and replace it with Apoonet's Miui File Explorer so we'd have a free, root, and feature filled file explorer by default.

I use ES file explorer, but basically I use any file manager with root access.
I've been using this one for a few days and haven't found any bugs. Pretty sure this is the most stable rom I've had on my phone.
Another thinh I've noticed is I can't tell if the bravia engine is working. I know it is supposed to produce clearer images, but I don't notice a difference. Oh well, this phone doesn't have a fantastical camera anyway.

I was just thinking of swapping it out with Apoonet's Miui File Explorer -- Free, Root, Advanced Features, Auto-Updates itself, No Crappy Permissions.
Glad to here it works great for more than myself.
The only way I could tell if Bravia was working was I took picture of my dog with the Bravo's camera and dl'd a HD image, started at each of them for minutes on end each, flashed bravia, stared again. They did improve, but not by much and I doubt anyone would notice the difference unless you did the stare test like I did.

thanks skeevy

I have no preference in explorer so whatever you put that is not stock I'll gladly use. Although I can't speak for everyone else.
I flashed the latest cm10 just to try it out, but it's still early and I noticed quite a few bugs. I'll probably be sticking with your kang(s) for a while.

Help please
Hi. Im a newbie at all this installing rom stuff. I am trying to install this rom, but omited to download and place the gingerbread gaaps on my sd card before the process...
so now I am stuck in this step
-Find and Select Gingerbread Gapps
-Flash It
-Reboot
Should I turn it off and put the gaaps in there, and then restart it? Please help!
Just as a fallow up the way I solved this issue thanks to other forum members help was: turn off my phone, and install the gaaps to the sd card, to unzip them later.

PC Crashed
Not gonna be a CM7 this week, or anything else for that matter. My pc went down Thursday and I finally had the time today to get it back up and running. Still have to finish configuring everything how I like it, install all the build requirements, sync all my repos again (takes a while), and much more. My biggest problem is I might lose a lot of my Android stuff on my old encrypted home folder. Need to look into accessing an encrypted home folder when you don't have the password anymore. Like a dumbass, I stored it in my Documents folder....instead of anywhere on one of my other 3 hard drives.
I'll look into the baseband issue. I think I just need to add in the missing folders and files under /etc/motorola that the new baseband switcher uses.
Maniac had quite a few CM7 updates last week, and that's always good.
Hopefully I'll be back in business by Monday.
//If you're wanting to try out Linux, I gotta recommend Mint 13 Xfce to ya. The install is painless and the system's ran good and stable so far. One of my best Linux experiences.

Just accessed my old encrypted home, copying all my files to another drive. Then I'm gonna format it and make it my android partition. Should be back in the game soon.
I'll make jellybean roms as soon as I can get it to start compiling....especially since Salad Bar, Paranoid Android, and other cool mods are switching to jb. CM7's gonna come first, but I'll get to jb during the next week.

Woop, recovered all my Android files. I'm so glad I didn't lose all of it. I'd of had suicide level depression if I didn't. Especially since I had to look long and hard for the right tools to do the job (that's what she said). Time to format my old system partiton with a 20 gb recovery partition with tons of recovery tools and another partition for android development.
Then its time to set up my build environment. That'll take a while. The sdk alone is about a 1 hr ordeal, the CM7 sync is anther 1.5-2 hrs, CM9 is about a 45 min sync, the app install for everything is another 30 mins. And all those times are in a perfect world with maxed out dl speeds.
About done with all my sysyem themeing. I prefer a black desktop since its much easier staring at a dark 42" screen over a bright one for hours on end, and its eaisre to read. See the screenshot to see what I'm talking about
Also gonna look into adding aroma to the CM7 Kangs. I thought about making a lightweight rom with update zips for full CM, but Aroma will let us choose what system apps you don't want, allow easy modding and tweaks. If done right, it'll give the Kangs full White Rabbit customization without me having to port WR.

THanks... will do... just to let you know this second phone has always given me some sort of problem.... I had trouble when I rooted it because, the enable non market app would never stay that way. When I first enabled non market apps with superoneclick I could install no market apps. But after some time when by when I tried to install a non market app it kept telling me that I couldn't so I had to enable non market apps again. I thought that was weird, because device number 1 never gave me those issues. Anyway, on device number 1 everything from kangs cm7 worked...
As a followup to this problem, I tried connecting to Google on another wifi hotspot and it worked... I guess the settings of my IP are somehow incorrect at home, does anyone have any idea on what the correct settings should be... I can connect to Google at home once Im signed in from another IP.
Just wondering if this could be due to a CM7 issue because It never happened when my phone was in stock rom.
Also... I cannot purchase apps when connected to the wifi at home... I have to go somewhere else...

It looks like v2 Zip file is corrupted
About v1:
* I love the menus, he new layout, the overall appearance
* The ROM is snappy but definitely slower than MSI
* I have an issue with the drop down menu. It works well with ADW @ 240 dpi (ie the original settings)
When I move to 180dpi it still works
When I install my applications, it just get screwed up and never drops down to the bottom and get stuck there with no reaction
Think it comes from bad interaction with Launcher Pro... Will try uninstalling but it could be any of my other apps....
Anyway I think I am just going to revert back to MSI... Spent already too much time experimenting
Since you are into porting other OS, what about this OS called "ICS" ? Ehehe
*** Edit: uninstalled Launcher Pro but my Status Bar is still screwed... Must be another of my apps but can't try one by one...
I guess MSI will remain my main ROM (It's anyway faster)
*** Edit 2: maybe I was unfair about the speed. The CPU wasn't overclocked (Fr some reason) and the governor was not my governor of choice. Nevertheless the issue with the status bar is upsetting me. I just have no idea what is causing this Definitely one of my apps given the fact it happens after restoring my apps through Titanium Backup

Now I am really f#cked...
I cant boot anymore and my tab in CWR refused to go to the end of installaion of any ROM I have on my SD Card
When I switch off the battery charging icon just show grew but doesn't go up to the step where it shows the battery charging. Will try flashing from download mode maybe but now I am really worried. Might have to go through reformating partition but then I'll loose everything I saved on internal SD
Sh#t... Never happened to me before
The error I get is:
assert failed : getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxytab" etc, etc... (Lots of text
And then E: Error in /emmc/goomanger/BLINDMokee_v1.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
Tried from my external SD with other ROMS and get exactly the same message
No...
Anybody has a clue on how to make an Odin package from one of the CWMR zip files? I gess Ill try that first
If not working I might have to go through a repartitioning but does anybody know if I have any chance to accces first to my internal SG to backup all my stuff (from CWMR)... Really worried to loose a lot of data now...
Edit: When i plug the tab it doesn't stay in charging mode, but instead boots into recovery. That's really weird and I am quite worried it is actually not charging... In which case this means I don't have much time before fixing the tab. After that no battery and probbaly no way to charge it... It is not techniclly bricked since I can access CW Recovery and download mode, but I ma quite worried
Is this the awaited update to msi or shall we expect another?

I downloaded it and installed it. Very nice rom. Beautiful and smooth with lots of goodies. However, I unistalled it after 10 minutes. I downloaded, wiped, wiped, and wiped. Installed, booted, rebooted to recovery fixed permissions "enjoyed ". Camera forced closed every time. Wiped repeated the whole process with an extra wiping. Still no camera. I went to the market and downloaded a camera app but that didn't help.
Nice rom if you can do without the camera.
I can't. I actually use my tab as my only device. Its got to do it all with stability.

here is uncorrupted v2 zip.
camera seems to work (a tester sent me a video and picture
(tester also adds, "its a neat camera app. love the options)
after fully booted, try a kernel from here: http://goo.im/devs/dizgustipated/Kernels
the landscape kernel is tons better
Diz in testing the BlindMooke I have found it to be fast reliable and everything is working well for me. Currently I am on V2.
Camera works perfectly and I like the app. Nice to have the 2d barcode button there ready to go.
** Note - Update the kernal, I suggest BOCA landscape, no issues with camera after this.
3g works fine and is fast, getting good HSPA speeds. Crossing the harbour bridge in Sydney on my Gs2 using droptus often drops the connection for a short time, using the tab I get a good signal so can't fault it.
After fixiing permissions wifi is fast and connects immediately.
The controls are brilliant, nicely laid out and easy to understand.
I am using SBP 3d launcher, the extra ram from the ROM and kernal allows it to run very well.
In the settings, notification options they menu is all in chineese which so far is the only fault I can find.
I love this rom due to the great layout, good graphics and great functions. To install I followed your intructions.
1. baclup with titanium.
2. factory reset
3. wipe cache
4. wipe dalvik cache
5. Install ROM
6. Install your kernal. Boca Landscape is a good one to use.
7. fix permissions.
8. reboot. wait install super user.
9. reboot and use it.
I have had issues in the past with the camera app FCing, I did a restock at that point to ensure there were no files left over causing me problems. I have not had a problem since and that includes with testing Joy as well as Mooke and blind mooke.
Key here is this ROM is for those who want a good easy to use nice ROM. It does not yet allow you to set your govener, it isn't built for being a rocket but it is nice with many features that are just brilliant.
if you want control, long battery life and high speed go MSI.
If you like another well known look and feel then Diz has something for you as well. For me this is my ROM.
First Diz, I'd like to thank you a million times for your patience nd helping me step by step to get out of the corner where I was stuck. Even though your ROMs were not faulty at all you help me to get my Tab back to normal and fully functioning without any data lost
As far as BlindMOOKE is concerned, I share the opinion below. t looks really nice and is extremely comfortable. It is probably your nicest looking ROM. But for speed lovers MSI is the one
I disagree on one point though: you can have the control of the governor, the overclcking and the undervolting as lo as you ave the right kernel (I use Voltage Control or CPU Master and they both work well with the lndscape knel for instance)

First Diz, I'd like to thank you a million times for your patience nd helping me step by step to get out of the corner where I was stuck. Even though your ROMs were not faulty at all you help me to get my Tab back to normal and fully functioning without any data lost
As far as BlindMOOKE is concerned, I share the opinion below. t looks really nice and is extremely comfortable. It is probably your nicest looking ROM. But for speed lovers MSI is the one
I disagree on one point though: you can have the control of the governor, the overclcking and the undervolting as lo as you ave the right kernel (I use Voltage Control or CPU Master and they both work well with the lndscape knel for instance)

Thanks, yes you are right with apps to control the CPU etc but just now the selection of govener isn't available in the ROM.
I am not a power user so this one works for me, I did find issues with autobrightness and the Quick Pic app after taking a photo was crashing. Did an update on that in the market and all is fine with camera and photos.

If you wanta large choice of governor you ca flash another kernel from Diz
I would advise the Landscape kernel where you have a large choice
They are available on Goo manager
I need testers (i now have 8 roms and need a wider tester base)
please contact me @ [email protected], (gmail or gtalk)
thank you
You must know logcat and how to use heimdall
diz
i've been using this rom for a few days now, and my goodness diz! i love this more than i love msi!
i'll post a long review once i get spare time :-D

YOU need to use CWM v6.0.4.4 ( v6.0.3.8 and up) to get it working correctly![RECOVERY] ClockworkMod v6.0.4.4
With older CWM Recovery versions you will get a bootloop, so update your Recovery too!
To swap memories (internal with external SD Cards) you need to go to /system/build.prop using any File Explorer with root privileges (recommended X-Plore) and change from 0 to 1 in the code below:
Before
Code:
# Change to 1 for swapping SD cards
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=0
After
Code:
# Change to 1 for swapping SD cards
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1
Bugs reported (Build ALPHA 9): -
-
For installation, first, make sure you got CM10.2 ROM and the correct Gapps on your External SD Card. Both can be found in the links above.
After that, enter CWM and:
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 (external_sd) by mistake)
install CM10.2 (from the external sd)
install Gapps for JB+ (from the external sd)
reboot your phone
Please, note that every step of this tutorial is mandatory!
This is still not a pristine Installation! A pristine installation requires to whipe both SDCards and only copy the installation files to the external SDCard, so there is nothing else than the ROM and Gaaps.
Therefore also delete the Android folder on your SDCard left by the previous ROM as well as the Thumbnail folder in the DCIM folder! You can do this after flashing the ROM. Just delete them and reboot. Don´t worry, both will be rebuild by the new ROM.
Do NOT restore backup data of system apps!
In general this ROM will restore your apps automatically from the PlayStore and only download the ones that are compatible with this ROM, so restoring a backup isn´t needed and also not recommended.
If there is still a need to restore applications, make sure you only restore 3rd party apps and preferably apks only. No app data. SMS, contacts, calendar entries, pictures, videos should be safe to restore.
If you're installing this ROM after stock ROM (Android 2.3.6), CM9 (Android 4.0.4) or CM10 (Android 4.1.2), we highly recommend redownloading the apps rather than restoring them from a backup. They might not be fully compatible and might cause troubles. As a general suggestion, try to keep your ROM as clean as possible.

Thanks, man! I would have done it earlier but since the thread in Development section refers to two ROMs (CM10.2 and Carbon) and since CM10.2 is actually still in preview stage (though really well done preview, I must admit) I thought it would be better to see where this is going first, and only after that, open a thread into General section. But if you did it, that's fine too.
About not maintaining this thread...I'm not sure that's a good thing. And once you opened it, there is no way someone else could take over it since..well, you opened it and no changes can be made on the OP (unless you're willing to share your password, which I suppose you're not).

Yes I know but the topic header can be changed any time so it fits the rom you will be diuscussing about. About taking over a thread I think this is no problem for the Moderators to change the owner. Have seen already some threads to be taken over by new Moderators. But if this shouldn´t be possible for some reason, there is another solution. I can keep my first post clean, so it can be maintained in the secound or third post
Last but not least I can ask to delete it, so a new one can be created.
Should we focus on 4.2 or 4.3? i hope one of the half best tester on 4.2 should try 4.3

I will test CM10.2 myself as I´m also interested how well it´s working. But about the difference between CM 10.2 and Carbon 4.3, isn´t the Carbon a themed CM10.2?
I also think it should be no problem to create our own working Gaaps we can use for this ROM.
Just got back from vacation as I told in the dev-section, and I only got one question: did you guys modify GApps in some way to make it work, or something in the ROM? I can just use the official GApps from goo.im which I already downloaded to use with my grouper, can't I?
Otherwise my PC will be an insane mess with all different kinds of GApps floating around

Yes, you should be able to use the official Gapps now, if you want to. The problem was not in the Gapps, was in the ROM.
And...welcome back! Got new ROM for you.
Ok, as for annoyances found so far:
1) Green color while taking a picture and switching between cameras. Focal camera has green artifacts everytime and freezes at first shot taken as already known issue with majority of 3rd party apps.
2) Small artifacts taking panorama shot.
3) Apollo FC at first run after pristine install. Already known for CM10.1.
4) Sometimes widgets (like contact 4x1) and shortcuts of Google apps disappear from the desktop. I just encountered that few times without going into depth. Will try to give repro rate.
5) Electron Beam animation while locking the device is buggy. I turn it off in display setting and feel much better.
That's all I remember by now. And why I say annoyances? Because all those things aren't so nagging as Gapps problem fixed yesterday.
Taking into account that it's only 1st release... Hell it's smooth and usable.
And one thing that I liked so much...
A new feature in camera in video recording.

Unfortunately I faced that problem once or twice too... This happens because we have too low RAM.
Precisely, LMK kills background applications when the device is running out of RAM (multitasking). The only solution by now is having a custom kernel like Hurtsky and add DSPM and Apollo to the list of unkillable processes.

[ROM][PORT] Ubuntu Touch 14.04 trusty - update 20140416

Hi All,
This is a partial port attempt of latest ubuntu touch 14.04 on our d2att (http://www.ubuntu.com/phone).
Because this port is not fully completed, I prefered to release a multiboot version (multiboot v2.11 needed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684052 ).
If you are not familiar wtih multiboot, please check how to use it before testing this rom ( or watch videos examples here : http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCefO8F4YX6qMQsqpBHTqTqQ)
When you install this ROM with multiboot, you will have to choose img format only and at least 2.5G for data parition.
Features ( tested only on my Bell carrier d2att ) :
Graphics : OK
Cellular Radio : OK
Wireless network OK
Touch OK
Suspend/Resume OK
Rotation : OK
Phone OK
Audio OK
Boot process : ~OK
Camera OK (since v0.12 )
Battery : ~OK ( but value printed is 1/3 of the real one )
volumes buttons : OK
GPS : very partial ( position tracking only working with test_gps command line )
Bluetooth : unknown ( but started ) - has to be tested with a headset
All others features are not working (not yet studied nor tested)
Important recommandations to install this ROM under multiboot :
img file only - install on external sdcard recommended
count ~30 mn to install an external sd ( ~15 mn to create rom and 15 mn to install rom )
80M for system, 2.5G for data, 20M for cache
first reboot can take 2 minutes, be patient. After more than 2 minutes, press on/off button, it is possible that the phone is put in pause
cell can take 2 minutes to come UP.
sometimes boot does not work, the device reboot after timeout on main rom. Reboot to recovery and just try a second time. This happen especially if installed on internal sdcard, that's why I recommended an installation on external.
Note : did not find a reboot option : to reboot, I press ~3s power button until screen turns off, then release button and wait first vibration. At first vibration, usual technique to jump to recovery
Download links : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13392
New version 0.2 : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407586924

Hi kalel420, the zip contains everything ( cm10 base and trusty ), so you just have to flash this zip. You can also check the video to follow installation process.

Hi, I'm codemonkey98 from the other thread discussing multiboot. I am very interested in work, so interested that I mentioned you in the /r/GalaxyS3 subreddit on Reddit. The following thread that I posted can be found below:
[d2att] [ROM] [PORT] Ubuntu Touch 14.04 trusty - for multiboot by /u/Nickolaus
I hope you do not mind me simply spreading the word about you. If you do, I will kindly delete the post.

That aside, may I ask how you're going to go about installing this? I do not have multiboot on my phone yet, but do I simply flash that .zip file for multiboot within my recovery and then walla?

Hi codemonkey98, no prob for reddit.:good:
If you plan to install this rom on your main internal, even if I strongly do not recommand it, install should be working (has to be confirmed).
I don't recommand it not only because it is not fully fonctionnal but mainly because reboot process is not good at all.

Yes, you install "d2att-twrp2.7-mb-v2.11.zip" from your actual recovery (twrp or cwm), then reboot to recovery to get twrp with multiboot.

Hum, this is CM10.1 base which check this. To fix it, you will have to modify updater-script in zip file.
open zip file (with winrar for example), extract META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, edit it and replace for example on line 2 "I747UCDLK3" by your bootloader version. and replace this file.
[edit] will upload version 0.12 without modem version checking.

Have you been able to fix the power button? I'm honestly contemplating on making this as my stable ROM for ****s and giggles. I do have a question however, whenever I was creating a ROM in my external SD card, it took a very LONG time for it to backup. I let it sit and it never finished so I just shut it off.
Congrats on the port. I tried it out, had to add a line in metadata and the updater script for the Canadian bootloader so that it was able to flash. It works like advertised....

I think best way to make a clean poweroff/reboot will be to write small qml program.
Installation on external sdcard is long : ~15 minutes for rom creation and again 10-15 min for installation (on my sdcard)
If you get problem on sdcard, just try temporarly on internal sdcard ( check the video on first message ).
Philippe,
I was able to flash this tonight, and I must say I'm pressed how far you've gotten with this port. Obviously it's sluggish, but that's to be expected. Honestly, I'm just shocked.
~~~~~
Edit #1 If you are wanting your Google Contacts, you should be able to do this:
Code:
adb shell
sudo -u phablet -i
syncevolution --configure --sync-property "[email protected]" --sync-property "password=secret" Google_Contacts
syncevolution --sync refresh-from-server Google_Contacts addressbook
If you have 50 or more contacts you'll also have to do this:
Code:
syncevolution --sync one-way-from-server Google_Contacts addressbook
There's also an application that can be used to import Google contacts as well. This application can be found here.
Edit #2 The default password for the account Phablet is phablet if I'm not mistaken.

Hi Dexedrine and codemonkey98, thank's to give feedbacks.:good:
Thanks also codemonkey for those tips. Concerning reponsiveness of the rom, I found it quite good in my case.

You sure you haven't had any issues with the response on this port? Because I have, but like I said, that is to be expected in ports and alpha ROMs.
Concerning the tips I gave, I was honestly trying to find a way of inserting my contacts from my GMail account onto my phone. It appears using the Terminal is the best way as for now, or you could use the application I posted about. Other than that, this ROM really has been great dude. I am surprised to see how stable it is.

I didn't bother testing the audio issue you had mentioned because I don't receive many calls in general. However it is great to hear that you got that resolved. I'll be sure as well to flash the update when that gets uploaded for us.

For sure, external roms are a bit less fast than main internal but not that much. Ubuntu touch use Mir/Libhybris for graphical acceleration so graphics are very good (very small overhead). I did not tried a lot of apps, but did not feel slow responses. Is it general slow behaviour or for specific actions ? Maybe also, your external card is perhaps a bit slow.
Version 0.13 with audio/phone fix has been uploaded and available in first post. I did it as d2lte version to let users from other d2xxx models test this on their device.

I'm about to flash this right after I get it on my device. :good:

I actually wiped my external card as I plan on testing to see if that was the cause. I may as well do a backup of my current ROM and see how this preforms as a daily driver. As always, thanks again for dedicating yourself towards this. I feel as I'm the only person who's been commenting daily on this thread, but that shows my excitement towards this project of yours.
Well, while typing this post my download is already done. Might as well put this bad boy on my device and flash it. Quick question, with newer releases of this ROM, couldn't you just dirty flash or no?
Hey awesome work, I've upgraded to a new phone and gave my daughter the s3 I flashed the other night. Man you rocked it! Good job

I have run it a bit today from internal sd and the is a bit of unresponsiveness also when scrolling between things screen we go black till I tap it again by the way this is on v.12 but the only thing I can compare it to is Danks wip rom that I tried a bit which I believe was the developers build and nothing worked but the response time on it was pretty snappy. I also ran that on your multi boot v.2.1 from internal sd card. But this one works that's why your the man! Does the system and catch have have to be 80mb and 20mb or can we up them maybe that might help idk just thinking here.

Ubuntu Touch requires the minimum of 2560MB to be used as an actual system. The system is probably at the minimum, and I'm just guessing it is probably the down right minimum for things such as rootfs. The cache is at 20mb because of in case of the max cache size. I might be wrong however, and probably am. I'd just wait until the dev replies.
You could probably increase it if you really wanted to, but it may not benefit you.

hey fishgoon, ok kewl yeah check it out, data is fully working, but Im looking to get feed back on all bugs to see if we can correct them, Im aware of most of them but it will be good to compare with the members feed back.
as far as the the Rom this is the first that has been rebuilt with working data, and added tweeks,.
but as far as the first releases belive it or not it was a simple fix on the data which was pointed out to us.
but all is good now. I must have built this a zillion times. lol had one of my buddy from tn build it as well
we all went nuts to get the data flowing. I know @ Wambo did as well.
but now we can all breath a sigh of relief.
Much love to @captain Throwback, he got us all rolling. great work on the Recovery to.
ok enjoy.
Although my Evo doesn't have service, I have been running the Captain's original KirKat ROM on it for weeks and I'm deeply grateful for all the work you guys are doing.
Forgive my ignorance, but if fixing mobile data turned out to be a "small" thing, could this information be shared with preludedrew so he could work it into evervolv? Or has he just dropped support for Supersonic altogether?

Great work. Everything seems super smooth. Was able to run Mounts2SD with no problem to get some more room for apps. Also, I was able to do wireless tether using native tether feature and an open connection. However, I was unable to get wireless tether to work with encryption...not a big deal...I think it was also not working in the JB roms either. Overall, runs really really well. I don't listen to music over my phone much, so probably won't try viper audio out. I'll have a better idea once I get on my home wifi and load a bunch of apps on it. I think it's plenty stable to use as a daily driver unless I find a serious app compatibility. Has anyone tried GPS navigation with google maps yet?

OS Update

Just wanted to let y'all know, that the new Software Update v1.3 has been released (and wanted to keep the 'technical details' thread clean..)! Here is the mail you should have received.
Changelog:
The latest Fairphone OS version is 1.3, named Chestnut (released in May 2014).
We're delivering a larger collection of bug fixes - including initial software development work of version 1.2 Release Candidate - to bring these updates in this combined version 1.3.
This software update version 1.3 should address the following:
Camera app fixes and optimizations.
Phone crashes and reboots. This includes issues with the volume button/key, widgets and mood background on the lockscreen, and the People app.
Adding more European languages to the operating system language (eg, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian).
Proximity sensor timing improved (i.e., to minimize response time of screen when moving the phone away from your ear).
Maintenance to prevent some internal storage notifications.
Messaging app fixes (e.g., crashing in Dutch fixed).
Optimized settings for some Bluetooth profiles (e.g., HID).
Further fixes on National Roaming notification.
Removed notification from missing SIM card.
Some Dutch and German translations corrected.
Fixed number parsing (no default to Chinese numbers).
Improved audio settings.
Optimized default volume settings for headset and speaker.
Removed (most) Video Calling option on Phone and People app.
*Regarding questions on internal storage partitioning, we are finalizing proper storage partitioning to prevent
separating app from data storage (to unify this storage). We are currently working on fixing last remaining issues and
getting the updating mechanism ready for users. We will add a Support Q&A to our website once we have more information to share.

Follow these steps if the update does not appear on your phone (seems like it will still take a while to appear - these steps do not work for me either).
---
A short question for my part: as it is mentioned in the mail (see first link) one will have to re-install the App-Store.
Does one lose any other of the installed stuff? What about the backupping? Is the pre-installed app working fine or can someone recommend anything else based on her/his experience?

I just upgraded, and although I had to try pushing the Upgrade button a few times before it would actually work, everything right now seems to be working as is and nothing else seems to have become lost. I hadn't backed up anything, mainly because I hadn't thought of it - it would, in fact, have been wise. I do indeed no longer get the empty sim notification for sim slot 2, which is nice. Tweaks such as GravityBox and Xprivacy still seem to work just fine.
Hey everybody,
I have a small problem. After reinstalling the Google apps by widget I removed Thema not used apps and tools. G+, bookmark syncing....
Now Threema using GCM doesn't work anymore.
Is it possible to reset the widget to install the apps really easy?
Otherwise dies someone has the zip to install it manually?

Two issues that I did run into after a manual install from 1.2 rc1:
After reinstalling google apps, I needed to clear the data for Google Play Store before installing apps via the play store webpages on an other device (e.g. desktop PC) would work.
My device is currently not listed in android device manager (for tracking / remote wipe / etc), but is was showing up before the update. I'm hoping this is just a matter of waiting a little bit. (ADM is still listed as device admin, toggling this off and on again hasn't appeared to help). Edit: This problem was also reported and solved for the previous update here.

This was done on Stock Android (AOSP) 1.0, as described here. So even though I think the result would be the same, you could just repeat this procedure on your Fairphone OS 1.3 in order to create a flashable zip-file.
I've been using AOSP since day one, and never had any of the described glitches or crashes, so I won't start using it now
But in a week or two, I'll start nagging Fairphone again about AOSP updates, since it would be great to get at least the camera tint fixed.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I would like to do this, but my widget just shows me right now, that I installed them already.
Has someone else an idea how to reset the widget?
I tried to delete the data of the widget and got to fairphone OS app site, bit deleting data there only deleted my home screen....

I have extended my partition before the update. As it comes with a simple zip file, you will not have changes to the current partition configuration.
As per Xposed, you will have to reinstall it afterwards anyway. No need to disable it.
The only recommendation would be to make a valid clockworkmod backup before the installation. The default fairphone recovery does not handle repartitioned phones well in my experience.
You will even be able to use the backup to restore only the applications you need with the tool Nandroid Manager * ROOT.
Problems after updating: Keyboard completely gone?
Hi everybody,
haven't been around for some time, quite busy ATM.
I updated to 1.3 Chestnut, and had the AOSP keyboard problem (crashes). Then, I tried to be smart and shot meself in the foot: I used titanium backup to restore the keyboard. As the app reported that the installation did not, erm, install, I tried to remove the keyboard app. Which also apparently did not work. I thought to postpone everything and turned the phone off.
Now, the keyboard seems completely gone, and I can't unlock my phone. Instead, it shows the red microphone button and tells me to "Speak now".
To sum up:
* I can't unlock the phone because the keyboard is gone, and fallback seems to be voice recognition.
* I can't re-install GApps using the widget, because I can't unlock the phone.
* I can't access phone storage or sd card because the phone is locked, and USB is set to media mode (or whatever it's called).
* I can't access the SD card because I'm using Windows on my desktop, and Win7 does want to format my sd card because it has a non-compatible file system.
Any ideas?
Oh, btw: de-crypting the phone works. I've got a keyboard there.
Do you have access to another SD card?
So install the update manually again and the keyboard should be back again.
The data were still there, when I did it.
Sent from my FP1 using XDA Free mobile app
I've applied the update manually by rebooting into recovery mode (hold power + volume up) and then selecting the option to send an update via ADB. I'm not sure whether you need to have USB debugging enabled first for this to work from recovery, but it may be worth a try if the SD card approach doesn't work out.
Since @benxda was asking for some feedback on the new update, here is mine.
I had the 1.2RC installed before. So I was not able to get the OTA update. Anyway, I decided to repartition my phone first, then install the update (I did not repartition it before... so space was getting low). Everything worked fine and now I have chestnut on my phone with a bigger data partition. yay!
Anyhow, I am still hoping for a bluetooth fix. Unfortunatly "Optimized settings for some Bluetooth profiles (e.g., HID)" did not solve my bluetooth pairing problem with my car. But I did not really expect it since @joemier stated somewhere that the bluetooth stack problem will not be fixed with 1.3. Anyhow I still tried.
Bluetooth is my main issue, and from where I am standing, I do not really get why it is not fixed,yet. I saw it fixed in various jelly bean custom roms. So why not ask the people who already did it how they did it. One example for this might be found here. If I remember correctly he fixed that in alpha6 or something. But on the other hand I am no android developer and from my perspective this might look easier than it is.
So I guess my questions for Fairphone would be:
Are you still working on the bluetooth issue? what are the plans on fixing it (or rather how do you want to tackle it)?
what priority does it have?
On a closing note, I feel the same way as @MarcoToo in his post. That people either moved on, or just don't care anymore. Sounds a bit cynical maybe, but I think that's how it is at the moment. And I must admit that I thought about buying a new phone with similar specs and more custom rom action going on. like the galaxy s4 mini. But it is really hard for me to get rid of a phone which I used for only a few month. But one of the major reasons why I bought this phone does not apply anymore (hackability).
