[JB 4.2][ROM]Mackay ROM 2.999 Final (9-Oct-2013) - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

I have been sharing my CM7/CM9/CM10 builds for some time in several thread, which culminated in the MackayROM. I continue now with JB4.2 from where I am for JB4.1. MackayROM is based on CyanogenMod sources, with several performance enhancements.
About Cyanogen: CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.2 (JellyBean), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
If you run into errors, I may not be able to solve it!
If you know a solution to a problem, either upload it yourself to Gerrit Code Review or contact me through pm.
The ROM is based on CM10.1 with the following changes:
-Mackay Kernel:
-Set of cherries picked from gerrit (differing by the day)
-Some handmade patches I did myself to the source code
Feature request are OK, but remember:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. I will not include additional apps, unless they can be build from source
3. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself

Coming from stock Samsung ROM/CM7:
-The safest way is to flash CM9 first and then flash Mackay ROM. Going directly from Samsung ROM/CM7 to Mackay ROM may lead to loosing IMEI.
Can be flashed on top of any CM9/CM10.0 build:
-Coming from CM9 or CM10-builds with an old/different partition layout (older than 0817, helly bean): your phone will be wiped (except SD card)
-Coming from a recent CM10.0 build (0817 or later): this is a non-wipe update. I advice to wipe, except when coming from MackayROM 1.6.1 or higher
-Any JB4.2/CM10.1 gapps packages should be flashed for Google Play and other google apps (e.g. from http://goo.im/gapps)
-Custom kernels can be used only if specific for JB4.2
Credits:
-teamhacksung/pawitp for making CyanogenMod work on our ancient phone
-stratosk/DerTeufel/Mialwe for the inspiration I got from their kernels
-rootax &xdafileserver for providing a high-speed server for high quality downloads
-Malcho for his bootanimation & kernel splash

FAQ
Q. I can't change governor in NStools (or any similar app)
A. Go to recovery, mount data & datadata partition, then fix permission. You can also install the fix permissions app to this for you: http://bit.ly/YxPgLD
Q. Process x (e.g. mediaserver/phone) is eating 50+% of my battery, what should I do?
A. Go to settings>apps>all and find the app which is causing the battery drain. Then delete app data and reboot phone. If it does not help, you can combine this step with clearing dalvik cache.
Q. I have problems with Play Store FC
A. Please install a recent gapps package (see e.g. http://goo.im/gapps)
Q. App x misbehaves
A1. If you installed it from Play Store you should report to the author of the app
A2. If it is an app bundled with the ROM, please give me the following information:
-ROM & kernel version number
-Previous ROM & last time you wiped
-Which app
-Describe the problem (how can it be reproduced -> otherwise it is impossible to test for me)
-If possible, make a logcat (e.g. if an app crashes/does something odd, a logcat can help trace back to the origin)

Great!!! Download finished-> installation without any issues finished-> phone is booting and starting without any wipes from Matts 4.2.1. Wifi works!
Many thanks Kaspar for another great ROM!

Yeees, will try and give feedback asap

its smooth, no lags so far and no fcs for me! :good:

The most difficult part was to get WiFi to work out-of-the box.
I actually reverted all the updates of pawitp. So the source code of the kernel is identical to the JB4.1 version of the kernel.

I'm waiting for more feedback and I'll flash ..

you should dont at crom is slim based and this is cm10.1.
if you flash you may fall under some issues so it better to have fresh installation.

Credits should also go for Pawitp for today's Wi-Fi fixhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34883751&postcount=738

Works very smooth, better than the other 4.2 roms in terms of smoothness. No Fc or other errors, good work Is it possible to include a quick settings mod or do you wait until something similar gets merged into cm 10.1?

Ah, just a little question, it's cm based so there are toggles and cm option ?

I agree. This is an amazing rom considering it's an alpha build. I'm really impressed. It's definitely ready for daily use.
I just miss one thing: center clock.

With some users Wi-Fi is broken which doesn't depend on which kernel to use. E.g. you are using Semaphore and Wi-Fi doesn't work, you can flash pawitp's Wi-Fi_fix to get Wi-Fi working.

Good job I've flashed, all is OK but for me it's laggy :/

Is external SD card connecting and shown at pc? For there is only internal sd connection....

External card not showing in pc, wifi , 3g net working fine, gps had a fix even before maps finished loading the graphics first time using gps this morning, the rest all fine, ready for daily use for sure, im keeping this one not going back to 4.1, if its good already in alpha it will be perfect soon.
Just missing all the tweaks that dont exist yet

Nice beginning. Perfect for daily use. Waiting for news :good:

OK, that is AOSP, not CM10.1. It seems there is a problem then with his AOSP with my kernel?! I'll try to make a fix anyway

Really like the overclock options of 1200/1400, but wifi doesnt work in this kernel.
I saw that pawitp added another tweak to enable wifi at https://github.com/pawitp/android_k...mmit/c3af7954523610e9df0abff656fe93095361d2dc
Has this patch been included in the kernel ?
EDIT:
This is the workaround i currently use for enabling WIFI:
1. Turn off phone.
2. Take out SD card.
3. Turn on phone and let it start up properly.
4. Insert SD card.
5. Enable SD card in settings.

[JB 4.3][ROM]Mackay ROM 3.9.9FINAL (7-Dec-2013)

I have been sharing my CM7/CM9/CM10/CM10.1 builds for some time in several thread, which culminated in the MackayROM. I continue now with JB4.3 from where I was for JB4.2. MackayROM is based on CyanogenMod sources, with several performance enhancements.
About Cyanogen: CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.2 (JellyBean), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
If you run into errors, I may not be able to solve it!
If you know a solution to a problem, either upload it yourself to Gerrit Code Review or contact me through pm.
The ROM is based on Cyanogen sources with the following changes:
-Mackay Kernel:
-Set of cherries picked from gerrit (differing by the day)
-Some additional patches I did myself to the source code
Feature request are OK, but remember:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. I will not include additional apps, unless they can be build from source
3. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself
Changelog of 3.9.9 7-Dec-2013
-Updated CM10.2 codebase of CM10.2 final stable release
Please read carefully, otherwise you will loose your data
When coming from Mackay ROM 3.0.0-3.0.5 or from a CM10.1 before 16 August, your device will be repartitioned!
The latest Mackay ROM will repartition your device, enlarging /system (+200MB) at the cost of /data (-200MB). To keep your data/apps/settings, follow the steps below:
CWM:
-make a nandroid backup
-flash ROM
-you will see an error
-flash ROM a second time, this time it will succeed
-flash gapps
-backup&restore -> advanced restore -> restore data of your latest backup
TWRP:
-make a backup
-flash ROM
-you will see an error
-flash ROM a second time, this time it will succeed
-flash gapps
-restore -> select latest backup -> only select data (I saw an error that /data couldn't be mounted after flashing ROM/gapps, so I rebooted TWRP in between the flash & restore steps, but I think this is not necessary - the message was still there but harmless)
This way, you don't loose anything. The data restore won't affect partition size. Next updates will be normal updates again: a simple flash & reboot

Didn't make a difference to me. I suspect kasper_h is already aware of the issue, which is common to all of the 4.3 releases.

[JB 4.3][ROM]Infamous AOKP 1.1

[JB 4.3][ROM]Infamous AOKP 1.1
As many users requested an update of Infamous AOKP for JB4.3, I decided to give it a try!
I have been sharing my CM7/CM9/CM10/CM10.1 builds for some time in several thread, which culminated in the MackayROM & Infamous AOKP. I continue now with JB4.3 from where I was for JB4.2. Infamous AOKP is based on AOKP sources, with several performance enhancements.
About AOKP: AOKP is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.3 (JellyBean), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
If you run into errors, I may not be able to solve it!
If you know a solution to a problem, either upload it yourself to Gerrit Code Review or contact me through pm.
The ROM is based on AOKP sources with the following changes:
-Mackay Kernel:
-Set of cherries picked from gerrit (differing by the day)
-Some additional patches I did myself to the source code
Feature request are OK, but remember:
1. I try to stay close to stock
2. I will not include additional apps, unless they can be build from source
3. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself
Changelog of 1.1 - 09-Oct-2013
-Source updated to 9-Oct
-Newest kernel (with zram) & updated device tree
Changelog of 1.0 - 25-Sep-2013

bootanimation very cool, the touch buttons does not seem to go very well and when you enter settings take small screenshots
EDIT:
solved installing gapps. sorry for the negative post
awesomee! a new AOKP for our i9000!! hoppefully certainly be improved and very stable, you're a fantastic developer
Very good rom.I like the settings(ribbons...)Congratulations.
Rom is very good working without problem, only thing i miss is the settings for kernel (cpu,governor,scheduler etc) in mackay settings there is not option, neither in system. Is something i forget to do?or it is not implemented?
Also i cannot find the quick settings and the most settings for status bar toggles(custom toggles) are grey,not selectable but this is not problem rather a report(used to it from mackay 4.3 cm). And a question,is there a way to have dsp manager without a notification in status bar?
Thank you for bringing aokp 4.3 to our sgs, also, boot animation is nice

Copy /system/etc/apns-conf.xml from the latest nightly and paste to /etc. (You'll replace that old one with it). Set permission to 777 and reboot. After rebooting open APN settings and: menu, reset to default! It worked me.

By 777 he means to change the permissions of the file to rw-r-r as the other files (use root explorer and long press the file to find permissions).

[KK 4.4.2][ROM]Mackay OMNI ROM (27-Feb-2014)

I have been sharing my CM7/CM9/CM10/CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11-based builds for several devices. MackayROM was first based on CyanogenMod sources, but I decided to move over to Omni as base for my ROM.
About Omni: Omni is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (KitKat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.

2. I will not include additional apps, unless they can be build from source
3. The time I spend on features depends on how much I like them myself
Although it is possible to enable ART, this is not advisable:
-Takes long to convert from Dalvik to ART on first boot
-Needs more RAM
-Can cause soft reboots
But off course, YMMV -> light users may have better luck
Changelog of 27-Feb-2014
-Omni codebase of 26-Feb (e.g. new bootanimation )
-QS Ribbon is gone
-Custom kernels can be used only if specific for OmniROM => currently none

You mean with the data connection?
I still don't know what the real problem is. If I build my kernel with the Omni build system, data won't work. If I build my kernel with the CM11 and replace the Omni-build kernel for this CM11-build kernel, data works.
There are several differences between Omni & CM11:
-ramdisk differences (but adjust Omni ramdisk to make it almost identical to CM11 does not help)
-kernel image itself (it is not the same size, even though it is build with exactly the same toolchain)
I have spend many-many hours on this, but haven't been able to find it. Therefore, I decided to take the simple approach of using the CM11-build kernel as a prebuilt kernel for my Omni builds.

Don't worry, I actually like it when people post these things as people don't always read the instructions anyways so having some additional warnings throughout the thread are fine with me
no "Themes" option (snif, snif)
Factory reset, system wipe, flash rom, flash gapps, OK, no FC.

the only thing i noticed, beside the mackay settings fc was the broken layout in the sim unlock screen...
ps: swiftkey makes settings fc during configuration, I miss battery percentage and still have a 3 to 4 seconds lag when receiving a phone call until the screen lights up...
thanks!! i downloading now!!
Thank you Kasper, working fine here ! OMNI FTW !

1. It fcs during setup when you launch it from the app drawer but if you go into System Settings -> Language & input , and you check SwiftKey and enter it's settings from there, it works to be configured with no FC. I think Switfkey is not updated to Android 4.4.2 or has an issue I think. Then you can use the keyboard.
2. Go to System Settings -> Battery -> Battery indicator, and select your desired icon with percentage.
Also for those that want RAM status and Clear all button in Recents Apps Window (Long press Home button pop-up) You can find those settings in System Settings under Interface section, click More.

[ROM] [5.0.2] [EXT4/F2FS] [LINARO] [03/22/2015] UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12 [DDK 1.8]

UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12 for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Introduction
This is an extension of my original project from the Verizon forum built for maguro. Since the only device I own is a toro, I will not be able to personally test cellular data and telephony features, so I will rely on user feedback (at least initially) just to make sure everything works!
I first decided to put together this 5.0 ROM using the old graphics drivers for those of us who wished to try Lollipop, but needed full camera functionality (i.e. barcode scanner apps, or any other app that uses the camera API). At this point, it looks as if the camera has been fixed to work with the newer GPU drivers. I will continue to develop this ROM using the older drivers until all of the major kinks are worked out (both DDK and non-graphics related included) and we have a 100 percent stable release. You are welcome to try my build which does offer some unique features and will continue to be improved upon and synchronized with the CyanogenMod sources.
Please note that you can NOT use any other kernels with this ROM!! I have added a number of additional features to the kernel including custom voltage, fast charge, and color adjustment so hopefully that will satisfy enough for the time being.
I welcome any and all feedback, including bug reports and feature requests. The Galaxy Nexus is my main phone, and this ROM has been stable enough to be my daily driver since I began developing it.
Features Specific to this ROM
- Built with Linaro GCC 4.8 toolchain with O2 optimizations
- F2FS support for /data and /cache. System must be ext4.

Instructions
First flash:
Unlock & install a recovery
Wipe data & cache partitions
Flash CM-12
Install the Google Apps package
Reboot​
Upgrade:
Make a backup in recovery
Flash CM-12
Install the Google Apps package
Reboot​
If you are using F2FS, boot will hang for a bit longer on the Google Logo before animation starts.
Initial boot will take longer than it does with other 5.0 ROMS because this ROM is deodexed. My main reason for doing it this way is so that I can make modifications to individual framework files without having to flash the entire /system partition. The downside is that the initial boot after a wipe of the dalvik-cache will take marginally longer because it has to rebuild the caches for all of the system apps. If you do this while you still have a full compliment of user apps installed - i.e. after an upgrade, the boot sequence could take a REALLY long time - so be prepared for that. Personally, I feel that this is a small enough inconvenience and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Tips / Recommendations
The stock/Google Camera app may crash if started in video mode. It takes still photos just fine, but tends to force close every now and then if you switch out of the app while in camcorder mode requiring a system reboot to restore camera functionality. Snapshots taken during video recording are corrupt. I recommend using the Legacy Camera (the one that looks like a real camera) for now, which will also allow you to take perfect still captures while recording video.
Bugs
- charging text stuck on the lockscreen
- camcorder records video with green lines. Best results are with 1080p*
- Google Play Movies & TV will not stream, but if you download the movie first it will play.
- gesture typing doesn't work on stock keyboard but does work on Google Keyboard
*Videos recorded @ 1080p and 720p are now automatically cropped to remove the persistent green band along the width dimension. This can be disabled through build.prop: debug.video.crop_override=0. Please see this post for details.
Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for bricked devices (honestly, has anyone actually ever bricked a GNexus?), data loss, lack of rhythm and coordination. Please remember to ALWAYS make backups before you flash and if you are changing filesystems on /data, you will lose ALL DATA which includes everything on internal storage and the recovery will NOT give you any warning before it performs this highly destructive act, so just be aware! Thanks and enjoy!

Nothing. It is only problematic with the new kernel + OMAP/DDK updates.
Wake gestures has to be one of my favorite features and saves a LOT of unnecessary wear on those physical buttons.
