So I finally got my build machine up and running and here is the first of what I hope to be many builds to come. If you are interested in pitching in and want to help please let me know I am working on this in my free time and using it as a learning tool more than anything but hopefully more will come out of it.
http://goo.gl/q4PBc - NS4G current file name NS4GfICS_01-26-12.zip
http://goo.gl/9yDmT - NS NSfICS_01-25-12.zip
1/5/2012 - Changed Source to AOSP + Pete Alfonso's ICS.
1/25/2012 - Adding NS builds as well.
I want it to be clear that the first version of this has very minimal changes from the work Pete has already done. As versions progress I will be implementing changes from all around the android landscape and adding features from others plus custom features. Any features that I add I will try to give credit as to where it came from.
Red instead of blue.
To-Do:
Add theme options.
Finish removing ICS blue and use shades of red.
Update Notes:
V0.9 - 1/26/2012
Finished settings package color changes. Starting work on next package.
Started working through Original NS build to verify color and compatibility.
V0.8 - 1/25/2012
Contacts Changed to use new red and a few minor tweaks elsewhere.
V0.7 - 1/24/2012
A lot more of the ICS Blue has gone including most places on the launcher as well
Stock Launcher2 minor changes.
V0.6 - 1/21/2012
Started changing from ICS Blue to Red
V0.5 - 1/13/2012
Added Koush's free tether to the build
More minor color changes
Added Webkit fix from AOSP.
Fresh pull of AOSP with some minor changes.
V0.4 - 1/11/2012
Minor changes
Modified ota to change name build
Application updates (Maps and Google+)
Moved lib since it is not related to Face Lock (From Pete's changes)
180 degree hardware rotation
V0.3
Merged In new power menu and some other fixes for ICS found around github.
Wallet is working wipe Dalvik.
Started work on adding twopointtwo theme/fonts should be available within the next few builds.
V0.2
Compiled from Peter Alfonso's Repo which is a mix of AOSP and his work.
Recovery no longer replaced because of this.
Wallet has known FC issues and will be the first thing addressed in the next release.
V0.1:
Compiled using AOSP 4.0.3_r1
First build completely from source nothing added.
This post will contain the change log.
I was able to add the Market via the Gapps.zip available from CM. Please remember when posting this is ALPHA by a lot yet.
If anyone is interested in pitching in please let me know. If there is something you would like to see let me know as well. I am using this build process to learn more about the customization and my own personal Android development trainer.
Ill keep my eye out on this rom

Thanks I hope to get this up and running it may be a few days before I make any real changes as myself and a few other close friends have had it for a few days now and are working on getting the project into github to allow others in and start ramping up the work.
I'll flash as soon as its semi-stable. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

Hey no disrespect but whats gonna be the different between this and the other 5+ AOSP already in this forum ? I don't mean to be rude, the reason why I ask is because all the roms in the forums are in the same stage just with a few different mods (that we can add ourselves or flash).
Nothing wrong with that question but I am working with a friend who does app development to include his app pro versions and he is also working on other parts of the existing apps. I do plan to add original content that cannot be found elsewhere. I know all are at the same stage and I was hesitant about posting but maybe someone will like the little tweaks and we can keep adding that's why I will need feedback as to what people want.

Thanks for the reply ! You got my support 100% !!!
Sounds interesting. I will try it out when the root and recovery issues are ironed out. Thanks

Just an FYI on the recovery part. I've been playing around with my own AOSP builds also. For the short-term, you can delete the recovery folder out of the zip and the users recovery will remain in tact.

I tried taking out the install-recovery.sh but when I ran the zip through CWM it gave me a failure. I am thinking it is because the MANIFEST.MF has the files listed and the hashes. I will try it again tonight and remove the entire folder. I have already started working on my source to remove that from being built at all which should hopefully also decrease build times since it does not have to build the recovery. Thanks for the tip.
Running a new build now. I have merged my little changes with Pete Alfonso's ICS tree and made a few changes from there. Currently the only bug I have seen is the wallet issue. It will stop running I have decided not to remove it at this time. If there is a fix it will be implemented when available. I have also modified the build version to reflect my changes. I will be editing the OP to reflect the change from pure AOSP to Pete's open source repository. I have also started skinning some of the changes and comparing oICS which has a working version of wallet to see what is causing the problems and hope to have it resolved soon. As soon as the new build is ready I will put it up and start mentioning the tweaks. This is basically just a compiled by me version of Pete's source at this time. I want to make sure he gets the credit for the hard work he has started with this build. If there are things you want to see added to the ROM please let me know. There will be some changes made to the overall colors though as the blue is not my favorite. The build should be finished and available shortly.
Add warm twopointtwo font.
I uploaded a theme port of it, has the font in there.

Added V0.3 to OP and changes. Just merged a few changes floating around for extended power menu.
If you have used the rebase to Pete's you should only need to wipe dalvik to update.
Latest version also has working wallet. Make sure to wipe Dalvik.

looks interesting. i've always liked pete's roms though the lack of some mods like the power menu and the notification toggle widgets. are you planning to add that in?

Some of the power menu stuff is already added and more will come. And as soon as I learn how to add the notification toggles those will be added too.
Andromadus - Test Builds
To start with here you will find test versions of ROMs built by me from the Andromadus github repo http://github.com/Andromadus, think of them along the same concept as nightly builds just not every night These are development ROM's, if you want to run bleeding edge development ROM's and at least know how to use adb and logcat then you might find something of interest here. If you require something that works 100% of the time all of the time then this might not be for you. That said you can always give it a try and if it doesn't work restore your previous nandroid backup!
What IS Andromadus?
Initially it was a group of people who got together to make ICS work on the HTC Desire Z because nobody else seemed to want to support devices with physical hardware keyboards/trackpads. Whilst the idea stays the same It has grown slightly to support some other hardware and some of the work we have done is now used in many other devices. Andromadus builds of CM10 or CM10.1 are basically CM sources with a few additional tweaks or additions to support our phones.
1. New versions will be added as and when I feel there are enough changes to warrant one, don’t ask when the next version is coming.
2. If we decide to release a "Stable" version of these roms they will be published in another Andromadus thread.
Direct all your queries with release versions to that thread and in the same vain do not discuss these releases anywhere but here.
3. I will do as best I can to answer questions but if you don't get an answer from me I'm sure somebody else will be along to help. Help each other and I have more time to spend fixing things!
4. Don't ask for what's changed since the previous version, have a look at the recent submits on the Andromadus github if you want to know or wait for the mini changelogs when I post a new release.
5. If there is something in particular to test it'll be mentioned!
6. As always if you didn't wipe between installations then at least verify that the problem exists on a clean install before posting here. Nandroid/superwipe/install/check at the end of the day you can always restore your nandroid if the problem is reproducible on a clean installation. If you can't be bothered to try this then I really can't be bothered to try to help you :>
7. All that said ensure you make a nandroid/backup before hand. I take no responsibility for what you do to your phone with these ROM.
8. Whilst I can't stop you I would rather these builds were not used as a base for any ROM/MOD/ETC. The source is all available if you want to do your own builds with which you can do whatever you like.
9. Tell us what works/what's worse/what's better but don't ***** when something breaks or isn't fixed yet, report it and move on.
10. Sometimes people forget that we do this for fun, for ourselves, and sometimes your super important issue is way down on our personal list of things to be fixed.
If you ignore any of the above you will in turn be ignored.
Now that's all out of the way as always have fun
As usual you need to flash the ROM then GAPPS.
Current Changelog below
Checkout http://andromadus.flinny.org for links/files/previous changelogs
This a team/community effort, I'll not list everyone who has helped along the way here that list is in the beta thread but I will say thanks to all of them again and obviously anyone that has been missed.
Latest version changelog.
CM10 build 133
There was an issue with the backup tool in the last build that will break gapps and your account's etc when flashing this build, the solution is to re-flash gapps at the same time as the rom and you should be fine. This build should fix it so that the next build will work as it should
Changes.
Synced with CM - Again not many changes upstream.
Basically everything relevant to our phones up to the 4th of February in the following has been merged
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:jellybean,n,z
Kernel updated to Andromadus Current - 3.0.62
For any issues you can use the following bug tracker.
http://bugs.andromadus.com/projects/vision-nightly
In the issue please include what version of the test build u are on and if another build gets released please flash and please update the issue saying the bug is still happening on 45 or whatever number.

Correct and also note this comes without warranty. Flinny could post a rom that doesn't even boot. Its basically nightly build of our repos so you can use them without having to build.
So, when's the next one due? Where's the changelog? What's adb? Why would you want a lolcat? ... *snicker*
Just kidding around for a second. I'll flash, follow the updates and post if I find anything suspicious.

i'm thinking of going with aokp, but it's kinda a "turn off" for me when it comes out with a weekly build and i feel the need to constantly check on the forums and flash to a new one
what's a good one that is just solid that doesn't require a new build update every week?
You can go Aokp because the last stable build is milestone #4 all the other builds that come out are just a nightly.

i understand but having nightly builds makes me feel like i need to constantly upgrade to the newest one
Just... don't update then? If your setup works well just leave it. You can always skip updates.
I'd go with Bamf Paradigm. Uniquely built AOSP rom, stable, and good battery life. Try it for yourself, you'll be amazed
And quality over quantity - no hyper change logs every 4 days, but if you're in for something different, jump in.
if that is such a problem then just flash AOKP Milestones... not AOKP Nightlies + Milestones.
Milestones are for people who don't want to keep updating. These milestones come 1-2 week.
Honestly, if updating a ROM / Kernel is a "turn off" because a developer is maintaining their ROM / kernel at a rate to improve your phone more and more and you don't want to stick with that maybe you should of stayed on stock ROM/kernel? Because this is like me hearing that people are complaining about a dev updating their ROM / kernel way too much.
When you rush through things and do not test enough, you end up missing issues, which ncreases the need to update the rom more frequently.
BAMF Paradigm does not release updates like mad because for every release, we have at least 3-4 testing releases to our beta testers to find and fix bugs. We do not like to consider our users the beta testers.

Wooo! Trying this
Can I flash directly over 4.1.2 build 129?
or would you recommend a clean wipe : ]
or check the link to the new website on the OP
I would suggest doing a wipe as Gapps etc are all different... if you do try an upgrade then I would suggest backing up... flashing rom/new gapps/wipe cache/dalvik at least.. then most likely finding it didn't work and having to wipe anyway
Nick.
Thx so much. I will try it.
Just tried installing directly over 129, rotation broke so I'm going to try from a full wipe. ( everything else is hunky dory really, although took a quite some time for the phone to calm down and get back to it's usual pace)
By the by, I notice the kill all icon from 129 is gone, is there anyway I can add that myself rather than wait for an update? ( as it's super handy!)
Thanks again flinny and Andromadus folks! My phone is even more woosh woosh and fancy than ever before.
Great job Flinny! You have done quite a lot.
just a question... what is the difference between the cm10.1 and the aosp 4.2? Is cm10.1 the beta release? or are they new test builds based off of cm and not just aosp?

ASOP is stock Android, CM10.1 is with Cyanogenmod and Andromadus tweaks. ( I.E more things to mess about with! yay)
Okay got all my apps reinstalled after a fresh wipe and this Rom is daaamn smooth.
All the default apps run without a hitch, and none of my extra apps have caused any issues either ( got 50 installed)
Just needs lock screen short cut tweaks, statusbar/notifcation tray colour/alpha picker and a kill all apps button and this would be puurrfect.
More than happy to use it as is though, runs great.

Thanks flinny~~
It's so wonderful~
But I can't find the CM's function, like "Performance",
If the CM 10.1 have some function not implement??
Some features have not yet been ported to 10.1 by the CM team yet. But performance and developer are hidden in all 4.2 builds until you do the tap build number thing
Okay everybody, I want to start a WIP on this as it seems that we can get somewhere. The last dev seems to have dropped the project so I picked it up. :good:
***NOTE*** This is meant for development/testing purposes ONLY. It is in NO WAY for the faint of heart and you must follow ALL instructions or it will not boot! You have been warned!
As of 5/7/2013, the following things are working:
Camera (flash works, it takes pictures)
Sound (the only reason I know this works is because the shutter noise goes off in the camera app, there is no other way to test this right now)
The test apps (browser, notepad, gallery, camera, browser, phone, calculator, calendar, clock)
Power button (phone goes to sleep and wakes, hold the power button down to shut off the phone - the shutdown takes a second because it shuts down just like a linux kernel would - plug it in the charger to test this, it will vibrate once it is off)
Not working - just about everything else. Most items are still placeholders and there is a stability issue where the apps all close themselves after a few seconds which I am trying to figure out. There is no data or cellular connectivity of any kind. This may be fixable, however, since I was able to get the camera working by pulling the prebuilts from a different CM version. I'll keep experimenting with this. If you put the device to sleep, it does not wake up to the same brightness (it is dimmed) and you can not adjust the brightness right now (working on this as well, its a permissions issue in the kernel source but I haven't been able to narrow it down yet).
It is VERY finicky about how it is installed. I won't give any support for anything but TWRP 2.5.0.0
To install:
-Download the kernel zip and the latest daily from Ubuntu (I will post links later)
-Backup your current ROM in its entirety using TWRP - check every item on the list or you may have to go to a fresh install of your version you were running previously.
-In TWRP (once again, make sure its 2.5.0.0 because these are 2.5.0.0 specific instructions), factory reset but do an advanced reset, check dalvik, data, system, and cache. ***MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T FORMAT YOUR MICROSD***
-Install the kernel zip and do not wipe cache or dalvik
-Install the Ubuntu preinstalled image, once again make sure you do not wipe the cache or the dalvik.
-Do not do anything else, no fixing permissions or anything, just reboot
-Wait about 2 minutes for the lock screen to come up and then you can use it
I will keep working on the kernel - the other functions will not work until Ubuntu implements them.
This is my first time working with actual development - if anyone wants to give me a tutorial to get my project up on GitHub so everyone can work on it, I would be more than happy to do so.
Here are the links:
Kernel built 5/7/2013: http://d-h.st/185
Latest Ubuntu Touch base: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...current/raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
Since the source has been moved to Raring Ringtail, there should not be a need to update that link. Please note that the 5/7/2013 build is the one that I tested and be sure to let me know if it gets broken in the future.
Enjoy everyone and once again, if you want to contribute, I'm more than happy to set up a GitHub, I just need some basic help getting it started.
Thanks this looks very hopeful.

I am hoping that development will take off. Ubuntu is set to start releasing alpha apps on the 16th so figuring out how to get a working kernel for it was top priority for me and nobody else seemed interested in doing it.
I've literally spent hours, lots of expletives, and other unpleasant things trying to get this built. I think I should have started working with CM BEFORE taking on UT but it paid off
Thank you sir,

I'm glad that you enjoyed what currently works.
I have done some work on the kernel but I need some help figuring out the WiFi. The drivers are proprietary Broadcom drivers so I need to see if anyone has gotten it to work on their Touch builds.
The rest of it is mainly just waiting on Ubuntu to stabilize - this isn't even considered an alpha at this point. Alpha starts May 16th.
Either way, I've managed to compile a kernel using cm-10.1-M3 (4.2.2) sources in preparation for UT's inevitable source upgrade from M1 (4.2.1) to M3. I'd post it but it doesn't have any different features from the M1 kernel up above.
I'll be updating it as Ubuntu releases new features or if I can get other things working on the build.

So, Ubuntu is using android stuff for these builds?

The kernel is a CM base. Its a massive fork of CM that's kind of a royal pain in the ass to work with since its not been synced since they forked it and they've made major modifications to the code (all traces of Dalvik are gone, for example). You also have to make modifications to the kernel build so it functions more like a linux system, there are process patches that have to be applied to the kernel, etc.
Thanks for keeping this going. Not much is going on until Ubuntu pushes things out later this month. Everything will pretty much FC until we have the proper scripts.
Cannot wair for Ubuntu to be fully released, I would like to use this as a daily driver

So you had the same issue with your build?
Admittedly, I never tried it because I was determined to build my own and yours was March dated. I had posted in the thread trying to get some assistance from you actually - but yeah, its certainly not usable right now.
Was your kernel a forced M1 or did you somehow find a way to get the nightly source to build? I've built M1 and M2 so far. Since I had the same results with both and UT is based off of M1, I haven't messed with M3.
I wish I could figure out the WiFi and the force close of apps - did you patch the kernel successfully? I added the proc patch as best I could (raw data paste but it didn't throw warnings so it must have worked - I'm not a programmer) and it didn't fix anything, apps still just close after a few seconds.
I was surprised that I got the camera and sound though just by switching CM versions. Maybe the same thing can happen with the WiFi? I noticed that it is being built as a module but I don't know enough about the Android kernel to reconfigure it as a built-in (I don't know if the Ubuntu kernel has the code for detecting all the hardware just yet, I'm guessing it doesn't). I've done lots of Linux kernel tweaking (I have toyed with it since Red Hat 1.0 and its my daily driver in the form of Ubuntu 13.04 right now - usually I use Mint but I wanted to eliminate as many variables as possible) but I don't know much about Android.
Admittedly, I started with UT before I had ever worked with CM even so I've learned a LOT. lol
Thanks for this.
So does this kernel work with the latest UT Developer Preview release? If not I would be willing to help you getting it back up to date even though I'm still a newbie! Thanks in advance for the response.

It should work fine with the latest DP. I haven't bothered to update it because the kernel source hasn't really been worked on. They're still focusing all of their work on Google devices.
There isn't a stable kernel for any S3 variant right now.

Mmmm, I can't seem to get it to boot at all.

Make sure you followed the directions exactly, any deviation will cause it not to boot. Also there is no boot screen. What you can do is plug it in to the charger before you boot it - if it fails to boot the phone will power off and take you to the charging screen. If it doesn't, give it a few minutes to load up especially the first boot.
If it fails again, let me know and I'll see about building a new kernel some time this week. As far as I am aware there is no newer kernel source on the Ubuntu side but I can try to build an RC5 based kernel (this is an M1 kernel).
Its worked for everyone else but I can't test it right now because I'm getting ready to go out and need my phone.

Alright I see, thanks for all the help. Could you possibly point me to the correct base download, I have tried multiple phablet bases, and I just can't get it to boot for some reason. Thanks in advance for all the help.

The international GS3 has working wi-fi.....i know the hardware is completely different but do you think you might be able to look at how they got it working over there?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315397
Here's the commit that shows how he got wi-fi working: https://github.com/Androguide/andro...mmit/feac1d9af58c2947e0f3f6b6719553be5811ce6d try applying that to init.qcom.rc i would but my computer won't build anything i'm trying to fix it...
Also for github you really just need to post your manifests file and whatever you've modified from the source code. i'm not really a pro with github but i've worked with it quite a lot. They have an awesome tutorial on their website i'd recommend checking out.
Okay Ubuntu made upstream code changes that broke the kernel. Give me a few days and I'll have an update.
Plays2 - that patch *should* work for us as well since we use Broadcom's WiFi just like the international version does (odd that they didn't use Qualcomm's since it came with the SoC but it works in our favor in this instance). Still takes a lot of configuration to get it running though.
