A flashback to when ROM was first booted ... the good ol' days.
Please follow all install instructions exactly! We do not have SBF yet to recover bricked phones so you are installing the ROM at your own risk. Myself nor any team member of Team DeFuse will be responsible if you soft brick your phone.
The Pro version is still in RC stages and soon will be up to par with the Droid2, Droid2 Global and Droid X builds. I do not have device so counting on your input to bring this up to speed.
Thanks!
Team DeFuse Presents

About Us & ROM:
The first generic Android platform for current and future Droid devices. We are a bunch of mad hackers, modders and developers that were not happy with the current model of Droids being "Blurred" so we began a mission to rid our devices from the blurriness of VZW Android systems. It started with a crazy idea of messing with the Droid2 SDK that has turned into a full fledge AOSP generic type of ROM. We have incorporated many features that were only seen in AOSP ROMs before this. Some of the features include Reboot in Power Menu, custom built Framework, vanilla Android GUI, totally blur free app folder and many more AOSP like features to come in the short term future.
Features:
True Vanilla ROM with generic Android feel, not themed to look line one. No blur apps...
Reboot in Power Menu.
Custom Framework - 10% battery increments with display percent number & without.
Overclock ready out of box.
Lots of free memory.
ROM has root and has been deodexed, and zip alligned.
Busybox installed and symlinks have been applied.
Clean base for you to customize how you like.
And many more...
Fission ROM Manager:
Fission ROM Manager (FRM) is a utility we developed to make modifying your Droid phones much easier. It was designed for the new Android user but also very useful for the more advanced user. You can download ROMs, themes, updates add ons and much more. Once your downloads are done you can install everything within Android. No need to go into recovery any more.
HotFix:
Please see download links for new patches.

Themes:
Check Fission ROM Manager. Many themes are up.
Changelog:
2.4.2 -> 2.4.3
Removed Sound and Speach Recoder
Added new Sound Recorder that can be launched from App Draw
Added 10% Battery Display option to FRM. Will reset current theme back to Stock Fission.
2.4 -> 2.4.2
DX build gets new framework whcih should fix the random USB reboot when plugging in.
All previous fixes are now included
Latest Android Market
More Code Cleaning
Full version ROMs and Upgrades are available. Upgrade will only replace packages. It will not wipe app or framework folder.
No reason to wipe cache or data if coming from Fission ROM for either Full ROM or Upgrade.
2.2.1 -> 2.4
All Devices are now equal. Perform and look the same.
Framework improvements all around. Colors, placement of graphics...lots of little changes.
Almost all apps for each device have been rebuilt from source. Either from AOSP source or Moto source.
Each device now has device specific apps. Will help of future Blur add on. Many people been asking for many different Blur apps so there will be an add on Blur package. Blur package will be heavily modified Blur services and then each app will be an individual add on.
MMS menu compose graphic now fixed.
Phone mute fixed.
Rebuilt Moto Apps (MediaGallery, Cam and Music) are now standard. They work better and will help with Blur add on. Generic Android Apps will be available on FRM.
All devices now use Moto Multi-Touch keyboards. They are themed as Generic Android Keyboards.
More cleaning of code and tweaks...
Few other changes I can not think of right now
Small bug with Global ROM. If you need to activate, slide out keyboard and hit the number key you need to use.
No need to wipe data or cache if coming from previous Fission ROM; however the installer will wipe your system folder so back up any changes you have made to your system folder.
DO NOT USE 2.3.1 Themes. They will work but you will lose lots of changes. Themers are working hard now to update themes.
I must say these are the best Fission ROMs so far. Lots of love and hard work went into them.

Haha...expect a nice christmas present This was the very first build without having a device in hand.
I would not suggest it as daily ROM yet, was looking to for bug reports to see what needs to be fixed.
There's a system update that just came out yesterday. It would be great to include that in your next RC. For whatever reason, I can't install the update. I think it's because I'm running CWM recovery (Droid 2 bootstrapper).
EDIT: I'll be your tester for sure if you include the latest system update! It apparently improved the phone call quality and global GSM issues.
Here's the info:

Hey guys,
Nice work. I put this on my Droid Pro and it works fairly well. Here are a few issues:
1. The right convenience key doesn't work. there was no option to set it to anything.
2. On the notification bar, the battery meter kept showing that it wasn't charging and periodically a second charger icon would appear, showing it charging.
3. The airplane mode icon would periodically appear, making me think I wasn't connected to the internet. I'm currently running on wireless and also roaming in Canada (all data and network are open as I have a Canada calling plan and int'l data plan).
4. The 3G Mobile Hotspot isn't there. This is a must-have for me and is the main reason I went back to stock.
Overall, the UI seems very snappy. I'm running Launcher Pro plus and it really flies on this ROM, much faster than on Stock.
Can't wait to see this baby improve over time.
Q: Does this include the latest system update? Just wondering as Android 2.2 is listed under Android Version, instead of 2.2.1.

Q: any way to build wpa_supplicant into it so it recognizes ad hoc networks?
Gents,
I'm based in the UK and on a business trip to the US a couple of weeks ago I got given a Verizon Droid Pro as a gift during the conference I was attending. It's completely useless in the UK at the minute as it won't let me use a UK SIM (seems locked to Verizon only, not much of a World phone then...)
And so I'm happy to use the device as a test device if that might help getting things un-Verizoned and eventually someone comes up with an unlock for the GSM radio so I can use it in the UK. This device is way faster than my Galaxy S and so I'd love to make it my main device (unless I brick it, that is )
Regards,
drfonz
Hi Everyone,
Happy New Year!!!
Sorry that the progress of this ROM has been so slow but I do not have a device to build with. However that will change today, found a good deal on a Pro from craigslist so hopefully the person comes through and meets up with me today. Once I have it the ROM should make it to final version pretty quickly.
Installed RC1 and patches this morning, and I must say it's nice to see a stock Android ROM, but there are quite a few glitches, graphical and otherwise. For example, I can't use the Market because it force closes when I try to download any apps!
This makes it tricky to install any support tools I might need to go back to the Motorola ROM to get back to a working system. Any ideas?
Cheers!
drfonz
Another thing that makes my problems worse is that I no longer seem to be able to side-load APKs into the phone as it gives me a fatal error every time I try. That means I can't install ANY apps, including Fission Rom Manager!
So I'm seriously stuck!
drfonz
You should be able to use the device anywhere but you'll have to pay roaming fees. You can call Verizon International support to get an unlock code which you input once you insert the new sim card.

I was reading about Fission and I'm curious. Are all Fission Roms AOSP vanilla?

Good Morning,
Did your craiglist purchase work out ?
Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on some ROMs have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.
Screens:
SwitchMe 1.2 has been rolled out and now includes a lockscreen replacement:
1.2
Added lock screen for logging in and out
More stable Fast switch implementation
Reworked UI colors
Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!
1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2
Reworked widget on qHD+ displays
Fixed widget text on HC and ICS
Fast switch improved on older devices
Nice, thanks!
Thank you! Any issues to report?
What do you think of yesterday's update?
1.4.3.7
Fixed device specific switch screen crashes and issues
Fixed UI bug in switch screen preferences
If anyohe had problems with superuser before, this should fix them. Please let me know if that is the case, its important we get some feedback here!
This is working perfectly with CyanogenMod 9. Will this continue to work if I update to a newer nightly?

I dont see why not. Just make sure you back up your profiles to the SD card if you do a wipe.
They are in /data/.profiles. Next release will have an im-app backup function.
1.5.3.0
Enabled full support for MIPS and x86 architectures
Many root daemon code fixes and optimizations implemented
Sorry backup is relegated to the next release.
Thought I should let you guys know of the issue I had with the paid version of this earlier.
Running Hyperdroid Androidmeda 6.1.17, I rebooted my phone and SwitchMe would ask me to log in, however it wouldn't list the username, wouldn't log in when I put the info in myself, and wouldn't even say the password was wrong when I entered it wrong on purpose. I tried multiple reboots etc, the issue persisted.
Unfortunately I don't have a logcat or anything since I was in a rush to get my phone working properly (had to leave soon) so I restored a nandroid from before I installed SwitchMe
This was all before the 1.5.3.0 release btw, happened last week.
Yes, that was hotfixed a few hours later. The main thread also has a flashable zip which will "unswitchme"
THANKS good

Touch Blocker Beta - a simple but useful app that makes holding and using your device easier
There are two basic functions:
- create dead zones where touches do not register
- filter the screen when reading in low light
We are already in a relatively stable Beta release - whats left now is adding new features and making it all look pretty. You can follow this process at the thread here.
Please be sure to write suggestions - we are looking forward to engaging the community and building a useful and nifty application that many will enjoy!

Fixed MIPS and X86 Key compatibility
Any issues with the latest version?
I take it everything is fine?
Any issues to report?
In my opinion one of the main flaws of the Android ICS OS the big audio playback latency - about 88 ms. This impacts negatively many applications that emulate musical instruments and the ones that do VOIP like Skype or Google Talk. For VOIP apps the audio lag also has a negative impact on acoustic echo cancellation - probably the most difficult feature to implement on an Android phone. In spite of many user protests and requests apparently Google has chosen not to do anything about it.
This is a similar thread to the one started by "Windows X":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621914
but the solution is applicable to the Google Galaxy Nexus GSM phone ( or with custom ROMs based on ICS 4.0.4 GSM (maguro))
The attached package should be used only by experienced users that can eventually restore their system to the original state. I tested it only on ICS 4.0.4 GSM phone build IMM76I (maguro). In this configuration it worked flawlessly as far as I could test it. Other successful testing reports coming for CM9 Nightly Builds, AOKP and rascream maguro ROMs.
The latency after aplying it should be about 20 ms - as reported by the "Caustic 2" app.
Change log:
Original package replaced by "lowlatsnd_inst.zip"
To restore to original state you may use "lowlatsnd_rest.zip" or other restore methods if necessary.
Status: stable
Note: applying this might reverse changes made in other mods.
consider submitting to AOSP once you're sure it's stable
Actually I think it is pretty stable, but I tested it only on my ICS 4.0.4 GSM phone build IMM76I.

So that's why I have an echo on almost all of my phone calls and voip apps?
Is this a flashable zip or something you have to include before compiling?
It is a flashable zip.
The big audio playback latency is one of the reasons for echo cancellation poor performance.
I'm guessing it's possible to manually paste these files into the phone via some form of root explorer, right?
Since I'm new to the GN (had a Desire before), is it possible for you to create a flashable version of the stock files which will get replaced, as a precaution, please? Backing up and restoring takes quite a while (some minutes vs. a few seconds compared to a patch )
Edit: maybe I haven't noticed it, but I'm on 4.0.4 update 2 (forgot the exact build number - as I said, I'm new to the GN ) so... where exactly (or rather, how) can I spot the differences before and after applying the patches?
Actually I have included in the zip the original libraries too with the extension ".orig" for ICS 4.0.4
They may work on 4.0.2 too, but I did not test them. You can copy your original libraries for example in /data/local/tmp/ and restore them later if you need by mounting system rw...
Tested this on the Modaco ROM ..
Seems to break system sounds. Music doesnt play anymore.
Phone calls still work though...
Caustic 2 does say 20ms latency..
going back to stock for now but sure deserves attention..
Unfortunately I don't know the Modaco ROM. On ICS 4.0.4 it works flawlessly with any sound source I tested so far.
So this should work on rascream ROM then? (AOSP from source with very few color changes...basically stock)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Would someone be kind enough to graciously tell us if this made a difference (and what other bugs they've noticed) with their ROMs and device performance? Not that I'm scared or anything, but I'd like to be aware of what I'm trying to spot the difference in.
Seems to work fine with newest AOKP. Thanks!
If rascream ROM is AOSP with very few color changes then this should work in the maguro version.
This sure sounds a very interesting project. I hope you get lots of feedback and continue to work on that. Unfortunately, I haven't noticed that lag you are talking about. Most probably my ear isn't trained to spot it. How could I reproduce it, so that I would notice the difference before and after?
Thanks
The lag is very easy to notice in a Skype of Google Talk call for example.
Also, you may try apps like "Caustic 2" - hit the keyboard and notice a lag of the generated sound from the moment you tap the screen, or "DroiDrum"... you don't need a trained ear for that...
Works great on newest aokp! Thanks can definitely tell a difference in caustic especially before flashing this.....good job
Flashed this on rascream and all seems good.

yeah I wouldnt worry about Modaco..
its not a "full" 4.0.4 rom so thats probably why it didnt work for me..
quick question... would this increase battery usage, or has any of you testing this noticed something like that?
It might increase battery usage, but I didn't see any noticeable difference.

PHONES CAN BE LIVE SAVERS. THIS DEVICE IS NOT SUITABLE AS YOUR ONLY MEANS FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND IS NOT BEEN TESTED TO SUPPORT EMERGENCY CALLS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER PHONE WITH YOU.
CyanogenMod/CWM is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed.
This is a rom for fairphone FP1 - 1st edition, repartitioned as of Cherry 1.6.
Do not install on any other device than the FP1 - I have not tested it on other devices and I do not have the FP1U1 (second edition).
This is basically the same rom as the KK build I do for the Wiko Stairway with a few FP1 changes (esp of course the kernel, magnetometer service, other minor differences). It uses a blob from the Wiko mtk-ril.so as the original FP1 blob crashes the rild.
What works:
- SIM1 for phone calls (incoming/outgoing) and SMS, data (2g, 3g)
- SIM2 is a WIP
- Audio (microphone - now also outside phone calls, loudspeaker, headphones, OK google)
- Sensors
- Wifi (not wifi direct)
- GPS (no A-GPS yet nor EPO assist files, so the fix can take a bit)
- hw composer
- camera for taking pictures (not video)
- wifi and usb tethering
- battery usage stats (expect the usage for Display to be very unprecise)
- candy crush, facebook and twitter
What doesn't work, known bugs:
- 2nd sim card 3G switch
- Dual SIM is a WIP and has some bugs (data connection instability, etc.)
- camera for "movies" does not work
- (hw) video en/decoding not enabled
- bluetooth not available
- FM radio not available
- A-GPS does not work, GPS works though but slowish
- rest of MTK specifics (what?)
- ... you tell me

Installation guide:
- Install latest CWM linked in this thread (for installation see in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615613) - if you don't have it yet, make sure you backup recovery.img
- Make a backup with CWM - you will want to go back to stock, don't blame me if you don't have a backup!!!
- copy the .zip to the phone and flash the zip with CWM
- copy the gapps to phone and install the zip (see: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps - this is CM11)
- Wipe

Thank you very much !
I tried it (this was my first experience with CM so far) and I think I wont go back to android anytime soon
Despit the name of the download (FULLOFBUGS ^^), I found it actually quite stable (It's true I haven't done extensive testing)
The only not known bug I encountered (and I absolutly dont care, please dont waste time fixing it ) was with the grass animated walpaper.
I also encoutered the
very minor glitches in animations (like turning your phone by 90 degrees) with smaller stripes

I am exicted and interested in news as well.
But:
It's barely been a week. @chrmhoffmann made something great here, but is probably working on this in free time. Please show some patience and don't make this Fairphone forum look like other threads here on xda.
First of all: many many thanks for even trying to bring CM11 to the Fairphone!! I don't own one (yet) as up to now I felt that this project might lead into a dead end (i.e. a device that after some rather short time is no longer supported). Now the perspective is quite different.

What works:
- SIM1 for phone calls (incoming/outgoing) and SMS, data (2g, 3g)
- SIM2 is a WIP
...
What doesn't work, known bugs:
- 2nd sim card 3G switch

Fairphone states this on the specs page (http://shop.fairphone.com/specs-page.html):
Dual SIM, Dual Stand-by. One SIM: 3G; one SIM: 2G. Standard format miniSIM card (not included).

Could this mean that SIM #2 is by design restricted to 2G?
Out of curiosity: one more question regarding phone and kernel: can the CPU be overclocked? If so, what steps are available, has anyone encountered stability issues?

These "developer forums" are usually only for bug reports and the like, so I hope it's ok for me to post this here.
Yes, nice observation lm089, I now remember reading that too. Hardware doesn't seem to be able to go 3G with the second SIM card! So this isn't even a bug of this ROM
In regards to overclocking it's probably best to open a new thread

Actually it does support 3g for the second SIM. You can choose which card is restricted to 2g.

0.2
0.2 released.
Nothing much changed in terms of mtk specific. Just sync to current cyanogenmod sources (approx. M10).
Chris
PS: Files need some time to show up on goo.im.
PS2: It is there now.
Thanks Chris for your wonderfull work. Will you also port Android L when it is available?
Awesome work on the your port of cyanogen! I bought the FP1 at launch with high hopes for the phone, especially as it aimed to be open and community driven. Sadly, the hardware vendors fell a bit short of that promise. But finally I'm able to install a CM based ROM for my FP1! I use it as my backup phone and for the longest time it was the only phone that wasn't CM based.
Keep up the good work! I'll follow this post for any updates you may post.
Thanks again mate!
Time Clock
Thanks for this beautiful work chris,
What for me doesn't work is the the alarm clock when the devis is turned off.
I liked it when i can shut down my dev. and it wakes me up in the morning
But no as essential as the "(hw) video en/decoding"... short question:
Why does Youtube work, and other video-streaming programs per example "Twitch TV" not?
Has the Youtube Software decoding included and Twitch probably not?
Best regards

well android (cm11 as well) is not able to run the alarm clock when the device is turned off...is not a problem of this particular rom... however the stock rom of FP1 can turn on the phone at a certain hour, but maybe you already know it.
Merge OS?

Yeah, I thougt that it will be something like that... Thanks
But the Sourcecode of de Stock ROM of Fairphone ( https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201189497-Fairphone-OS-multiple-versions- )
and from Cyanogenmod is available too on GitHub ( https://github.com/CyanogenMod )
Isn't it possible to put the code from Fairphone OS which refers to the Alarm-Clock-wake-up-mode into the CM-code?
When the Fairphone OS is installed, then it's possible, in cause of this it has to be a OS/Software-Problem...
I really don't understand many things from Android, sorry for that, but I'm working on it
Any news on bluetooth functionality?
Is there any prospect of bluetooth working in with this ROM soon?
I know questions like this can be a pain in the ass for developers, so please don't get it wrong, but I'm eagerly waiting for Android 4.4 (especially CM) on the Fairphone for such a long time now. In combination with the Pebble Smartwatch, the notification system with Android >= 4.3 is so much better. But obviously, the smartwatch functionality relies on bluetooth.
Thanks, Tobi
first, thanks again for your wonderful work!
then, I'd also need these gaps to be filled so that this could be a productive version:
- BT working
- the timing / auto-shutdown / auto-start function from FP OS
- Optimized Battery Life
- maybe a FP branding (I really like the startup screen, fonts and wallpaper from FP OS)
Is there still any involvement with the FP guys? Could they help out regarding the details or are they involved somehow? What can the community do to help?

we all are wondering a total functionality of this rom, but pushing the developer is never a good thing. He is not paid for his work, is just volunteer work so if he has free time maybe he will do it, maybe not. Don't expect that everything will be done soon.. .

this comment seems to be a bit pretentious... keep calm, he make volunteer work, and have no relation with the FPs Soft Developer, also because the development section of FP is from an external company.. so keep calm and wait, if he will have free time to spend on it, maybe will continue to develop, maybe not, but don't push him

I would be interested if we could issue a bounty for @chrmhoffmann to get him working in the port again?

I think I would contribute to that
Info:
Target Device: SM-T560NU only (gtelwifiue)
OS: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Variant: LineageOS 13.0
Status: Usable as daily driver, but still to be considered experimental
This project is a side project of mine to bring Lineage 13.0 back to the SM-T560NU.
I recently purchased one of these, and use a few apps that have not been updated in years. These apps do not work on Nougat, therefore I needed Marshmallow.
vince2678 had a great Lineage 13.0 build, but had started to shift his efforts towards the more popular and updated Android Nougat by the time that I got this tablet. vince had started to warn that he was going to be dropping Marshmallow to focus on Nougat.
Therefore, using his code base, and attempting to apply some more modern patches to keep Lineage 13.0 up to date, I started creating my own builds in private. There was one single, obsecure link to it, on my website, and it was discovered. Since the community has shown interest in this project, and vince has now officially dropped support for 13.0, I am willing to release my private builds.
Please keep in mind that while vince's builds were designed to be as stock as possible, my builds are tailored towards my needs.
They are not perfect, but they work for me. There are still some issues to be ironed out, and sometimes new issues sneak in when you think you are just building a security update
But, since you wanted them, here they are. At the time of this post there is only one, but this will grow over time, when I have spare time to try to fix any issues and apply security updates.
All builds use my optimized kernel.
Releases and known issues:
You can find my builds over at:
https://losupd.zefie.net/builds/full/?C=M;O=D
lineage-13.0_j199_20170720
Android Security Patch Level: July 1, 2017
USB MIDI Support (example video of controlling Logic Pro X with the SM-T560NU)
No changes to previous issues in this build (same issues apply)
lineage-13.0_j196_20170617
Android Security Patch Level: June 1, 2017
AudioFX is missing (disabled in build due to unsolved issue in ROM causing crashes)
Updater is untested. You may or may not get a notification when a new build is available.
Flashing the recovery that comes with these builds is advised against. It may work but is untested. Use my TWRP Build.
Device encryption does not yet work
There is a strange issue that prevents you from taking still images using the built-in camera app. Preview and video works. As a workaround, use any third party camera app. I suggest Open Camera.
Just flashed it, everything works great so far.
Ive tried and liked very much
Smooth and lightweight
So far for me the camera dont work but i can record video
Also the encrypt tablet option does not seem to work (I select the option in the security part of the settings screen, it restarts tablet and thats it)
Other than that it seems to be perfect
Thanks for all the hard work

I knew about the encryption but the camera issue is interesting and strange. I just tried it and see what you mean.
I will see what I can do about these issues in the next update, which will probably be mid-august.
Thanks for the report.
The issue seems to be with the Camera app itself, and not any issues with communicating with the hardware (despite the error message), since other camera apps appear to work fine.
In the mean time, if you would like to take still images with this build, I would suggest this great and free (ad free as well) camera app from the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
I have just tested it (with both rear and front cameras) and it can take still images.
560?
Is it compatible with T560 only ? Whats the difference between T560 and T560NU maybe US Market? or what the difference and where i can get a custom Recovery for the Tab?

This is for the T560NU only, not T560. From what I know they have entirely different processors so there is no way for a universal ROM.
Thanks for this amazing rom. I noticed following: can't change the size of analog clock and sound on the speaker is not very strong.

The clock issue is likely upstream, since I can't think of anything I did that would prevent resizing of widgets, and other widgets appear to be resizable.
But I will look into it.
Speaker issue noted, there was some issue with the internal mic being too low that I tweaked, I may have to check the values for the speaker.
Edit: personal tests show speaker volume is fine. any louder could damage the speaker. if the volume is low, check that the tablet is not laying on a soft surface or something that would otherwise muffle the speaker in the back. When not obstructed, the speaker volume seems fine to me.
Any progress on Audio FX and Camera issues?

Unfortunately I have not had the time to work on this in a while. When I don't have time I just update the source and build (and hope it works) for the security updates. This only takes a couple of minutes as the build process does all the work. One should be coming in the next few weeks. Once the automated build finishes, I test it locally for about an hour and if its good, I release it.
I am not sure when I will have time to actually sit and go through the code to try to debug it to fix the outstanding issues. This can take hours or even days of dedicated time which I just don't have at the moment due to trying to keep my bills paid.
Stay tuned to this thread for updates though, and I apologize for the delay.

After uninstalling 3rd party music app, volume is good again.
EDIT:
Unfortunately I am discontinuing this ROM. I made this ROM for my personal use, and it is no longer useful to me, and I do not have the time to debug it. Therefore, I am discontinuing it. The current builds and source will remain up, and if you guys are not having the issues I am having, and would like me to continue doing security updates, I will, so long as it still compiles without much work on my part.
There will be no updates to the existing issues though.
Despite my previous aversion to Android N, I would highly suggest vince's Lineage OS 14.1 builds. They have come a long way since I last tried them, and Android N isn't so bad after all
I haven't gotten a chance to do a logcat or anything, but I'm getting an instant bootloop after installing Nova Launcher.
It wasn't an issue until Nova updated a few weeks ago, and it affects both your builds. That's my favorite launcher, but I guess I can live without it
EDIT: I see that you're discontinuing this, so I guess this post is more of an FYI to other users.
