Great news for USB-DAC and AOSP ROM fans!!! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

EDIT/UPDATE 2/28/13 for North American S3's (not sure about Euro S3):

For the 4.1.X AOSP ROM's, only LiquidSmooth and Xylon work. If you can find them anymore. All stock based/rooted ROM's work.
LiquidSmooth ROM never skips, it had flawless audio performance. But you lose the headphone jack on LiquidSmooth. And the 4.1.X Xylon ROM was a WIP ROM with various bugs.
The 4.1.2 LiquidSmooth ROM was fantastic. Never once had any cd-skipping type sounds. Sounded excellent and was a flawless, bug-free ROM. Perfect if you didn't need the headphone jack, which was the only issue. BUT, I can't find that ROM download anymore. I have a nandroid and if someone bugged the hell out of me, I might be talked into uploading it. But it was a nandroid from a dirty flash so I can't guarantee it will work perfectly.
Stock ROM's skip sometimes when initially connecting audio and also when taking calls or other events occur. Otherwise they work great.

ORIGINAL THREAD TEXT BELOW:

I've got great news for USB-DAC and AOSP ROM fans!!!
While USB-DAC has always worked natively on the Touch-Wiz ROM's, it has never worked on AOSP. UNTIL NOW!
Here is a quick guide:
1) Go to DanBa's list of USB-DAC's and see if your DAC is listed as compatible. If it's not listed, it may not be compatible:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/1440#post_9083315
2) Flash dg4prez's Liquidsmooth 4.2 ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080247
3) On your phone, open the "Developer Options" and enable "USB Debugging".
4) Also in Developer options, make sure to enable "ROOT" for both "APPs and ADB".
5) Flash the patch developed by Jack Norris (da MAN!).
Make sure to give ADB superuser permissions. It popped up on the phone and asked me for permission.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029728
6) Boom, you're done. Plug in that compatible USB-DAC and start listening to music!
Ufortunately,,, CM10.X and AOKP are not yet working.
Edit: Jack thinks he has figured out what's wrong with CyanogenMod and will release a patch for it soon.
.

This is rawkin news. Thanks for the quickstart guide, Eddie

Do I just flash the volume control zip code or follow the PC as well?
edit: Yeah, um, just flashing volume control patch kills call audio.

Yeah, only flash the PC file.

Word to the wise(r than me): make sure your SD card isn't formatted as exFAT if you're coming from a TW ROM. You probably won't lose your data, but it will bork the formatting. You can restore by putting the SD card into a Windows computer SD card slot (with an adapter for most cases) and running from the command prompt:
cd c:\
chkdsk (drive letter: ) /f (without the parentheses)
I believe any AOSP-based ROM would garble the SD card each time you boot up. FAT32 is my preference...now.

...and LiquidSmooth has been shut down and thread locked, OP opened 'Carbon', looks similar on the surface, but won't be able to test any ROMs until tonight.

Just tried CarbonROM and it did not work for me with my typical USB-DAC setup.
I posted about it on the dev thread for that ROM. Hopefully the new Carbon team can figure out what they did to make it work in Liquid and apply that to Carbon.

So how exactly do I flash jacknorris's USB audio patch?
Do I only run the .exe file?
Or do I have to flash the Nexus 7 kernels he's included as well?
I'm a bit hesitant about flashing a different device's kernel onto mine
Thanks!

You only run his Windows based file patch. Nothing else. No kernel or volume or any other files.
But,,, there are no longer any ROM's that support USB-DAC since LiquidROM and Xylon all updated to 4.2.2. You would have to find the 4.2.1 LiquidSmooth ROM, which I can't find anymore.
Or just stick with a Samsung based ROM as these all support USB-DAC natively, without any patching required.

Was there ever a patch for CM (CyanogenMod) created?
I've been rocking 10.1/10.2 for a bit and would love to implement in my card dock.

[ROM][29July2013] mROM v4.0 JSS15J - stock 4.3 + GAPPS, MOD(s), etc.

Here is a 4.3 ROM built from AOSP source designed to emulate what a Verizon 4.3 ROM would be like. The changes from AOSP include the addition of GAPPS, addition of Verizon apps, appropriate binaries so everything works, addition of busybox, correct eri.xml, home screen layout to mimic a stock ROM, and the removal of the tethering restriction. The ROM is not pre-rooted, so flash Chainfire's SuperSU if you want root.
As usual, flash at your own risk and post any successes or problems.
Download Link(s) for v4.0: MD5: be4377ab16432112f09d18ae37c91041
DOWNLOAD via Goo.im
Cubby.com MIRROR
SuperSU v1.51 - you may want to check for a more recent version if this link becomes outdated. Flash after you flash the ROM.
Bugs - text-to-speech may not work correctly. Please flash fix attached to this post after flashing the ROM. Thanks AndroJak!
MODS:
Extended Power Menu - CM style
- Ability to reboot, hot reboot, reboot recovery, & reboot bootloader.
- Replaces /system/framework/android.policy.jar
- Thanks to Cyanogenmod and xIC-MACIx
- DOWLOAD
- MIRROR
Thanks to mmuzzy for help building from aosp (fixing t-cdma64 in eri.xml and cell broadcasts menu, plus other stuff I'm probably forgetting), adrynalyne, and djp952 for help building from AOSP.

It has GAPPS included from the GSM developer preview and the Verizon apps as well (MyVerizon and the backup one). My attempt was to make a stock rooted ROM for Verizon based off of the 4.1.1 source on AOSP. Some things are still added to this rom from 4.0.4 IMM76K Verizon ROM, but I did include the new binaries for toro. I haven't fully tested everything, but camera, google now, gps, and wifi all work as expected. I'll try to get some add-on's / mods before too long and have them posted as flashable .zips.

No sure what causes this, but I've never seen it with this build or the previous developer preview build. Did it happen on first boot before you installed anything else?

I'd recommend a full factory reset, but people can try what they feel comfortable with. Personally, I did a factory reset, wiped both caches, and then flashed the ROM (with TWRP).

Do you have any on your sdcard partition in the Ringtones folder? If not, I'd check \system\media\audio path (subfolders for ringtones, alarms, etc). Delete any duplicates you find in there. I don't have any duplicates and there aren't any in the rom.zip I uploaded.
just overwrote mms.apk in system/apps to get the custom pink mms, and got a quick reboot to my boot screen, this never happened on 4.1 roms that weren't source, don't know if this is normal because i replaced the app and it was a one time thing (i hope). as far as going to system/media/ringtones, i see them but there arent any doubles, however theres doubles when i go to select a ringtone from the menu, for everything system related, ringtones and notifications.
What issues have people had? Any boot issues?
I replaced the "stock" keypress ogg files from ics/jelly bean that sound better with this 4.1.1 release, the new key click sounds are horrible. works fine. i used to have t-cdma 64 with any build from 4.1.1 there is a fix that works that ill just apply. its a xml file or something.

Well I am not aware of any 4.0 or above ROMs that can be flashed via ODIN. I am sure if any developer wants, they may be able to do it but I really think that flashing via recovery is always a better choice compared to ODIN. I see no advantage for ODIN flash...
Do you mind telling me why do you need odin flash???

Well, I'm more familiar with Odin flashing compared to recovery mode, and it's a whole lot easier compared to other flashing methods. I don't find that the recovery mode is easy to understand, so you mind to provide me the steps (better if they are easier to understand and follow) and also a link to a stable Android 4.0 Rom?

Do you have root access on your phone? Every step is actually quite easy to follow. There are really good guides on both general and development sections. But beforewe delve into howto's you should clarify what constitutes STABLE for you...
We have ICS (4.04) as well as JB ( 4.1.2 and 4.2.2) in the development section. All are pretty good but here and there they may have some bugs. Just go to their threads check them out. On the very first page of a ROM thread what works and what doesn't are listed. Decide whether you can live with one of them then we can talk about howto's.
I recommend CM9, CM10 and CM10.1 all from the developer arco68...
OHHH with a custom recovery, you don't even need a computer to flash a new ROM. That surely is a bonus...

I have root access on my phone. Well, I don't see the ROM thread that you mentioned. Stable means that the ROM is not easy to crash or eats up my RAM even when I'm not using it, while common bugs are still acceptable if they can be fixed (I can't find threads from arco68, so I don't know what you mean by his CM9 and all those so...)
Hope you can enlighten me more about this recovery method and the difference between the CMs (if possible, also include any differences between ICS and JB b'coz I don't know which one to choose)
Recovery is super easy:
Download the zip and put it on your SD (internal or external, makes no difference)
Then turn of your phone
Press and hold Volume up + Power button + home button
Once the screen turns on, release the power button, but keep holding onto the other two
Then the recovery menu shows up
choose install zip from SD
select the zip and hit install
finished

Its a kind of recovery, called ClockworkMOD. Now its the 6.0.3.0 version if I'm not wrong...
Linky: here
Okay, the process of installation of a custom recovery is tedious. Link: here DO NOT USE THE FILES IN THIS PAGE. JUST THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Now, flash the ROM (any of the three is fine. I personally recommend CM9 or 10 cus its in its RC stages, which means Resource... something)
The instructions is on the ROM page itself. And you're done. I or arco are not held responsible if your phone is screwed up in the process (very little chance) or
if your heart fails because its loading for a longer period than it should be.

Well obviously, since its a custom ROM, its bound to have bugs. There's no such thing as a "perfect" ROM. And I have 6.0.1.something CWM and I have flashed every single ROM, from 9-10.1. So it shouldn't be a problem.

I believe I have caused some misinterpretation here. What I mean is that I want to know if there is anything that's not working in CM9. The stuff below is found from the CM9 thread.
What's working:
Audio
Receiving and making calls
GPS
Compass
Proximity sensor
Wifi
Bluetooth
USB mass storage
HW accelerated gui
HW accelerated video
Camera
Torch
Wifi and USB tethering
There isn't anything that's not shown as "not working", so I'm asking you about it just for confirmation.
If there isn't anything, I will flash CM9 soon. :laugh:

I just noticed something in your post. Just to clarify, RC mean "Release Candidate" not resource something... Just so you know. First alpha's come, then beta's, and right before a FINAL version is released in which most of the bugs are squashed, a release candidate comes to make sure everything is working. If for example, no bugs remain in a release candidate, it is renamed to FINAL as far as I know
However, there are different understanding of these names on the internet. For example, for some, once a product is in a BETA phase, no more new features added from there on. However, that may not be true for CM releases here, I am not sure.
and @zacszy, both CM9 and CM10 are pretty stable. I have not encountered any show stopping bugs but that maybe because of the way I use my phone, as I dont play games. I use it mostly for productivity, internet surfing, couple of youtube videos, music...
Try them all. I am sure you will pick one that suits your needs..

Android 4.4.2 Omnirom

I read about an omnirom available for our captivate glides running 4.4.2
Anyone tried running this yet? How stable is it?
I found the link here: http://true-android.blogspot.ca/2014/03/update-samsung-captivate-glide-sgh-i927.html
I also dont know, for any rom that has separate gapps, when would you flash those? After or before the new rom? at the same time? Like, if after a ROM flash it automatically reboots, it will boot up with no gapps and likely not run - correct?
Was just curious about how buggy it is. Even if down the road when things are smoother, im excited to see if i can get this one running!

Gapps is included. You must install rom zip first, because it formats system partition.
Official gapps doesnt compatible with our phone, I think its better not installing.

I am using omni ROM . . somehow I find it less buggy than cm 11
Nevertheless I would wanna give my thanks and even though I am pointing out bugs . . I really do appreciate his work .. A lot
Omnirom is very very stable has all if not most of the theming features except for trebuchet launcher
//It is a bit more battery consuming but I like it cause I am able to run my processor at 1.4ghz which is sweeeet!!!
//It has issues with OK Google functionality the audio is lagged and irritating
//The Google experience launcher is not built for it
//It has issues with Google maps 7 but there is a fix to have 6th version to back you up when needed
//it has issues with Skype and the fix is work in progress I guess..
//GPs is a bit slow but works
//WiFi direct crashes for me
Once in a blue moon the phone might rebot itself cause of a crash..
Though considering WiFi tethering , 3g switching, link2sd ,memory swapping
Ksm everything is working really try it . . its an amazing experience from an amazing phone
Can someone tell me the difference between wifi direct, wifi sharing, and wifi sharing manager??
Wifi itself is working in 4.4.2 right?
Also, were your keyboard backlights working automatically or did you ened qwerty led?
is qwerty led something that needs to be running all the time. or "ongoing" in the top drawer?
Wi-fi direct is a type of communication between two devices, similar to Bluetooth, so you can send files. I never used this, even when transfering big files from one phone to another, it's better to use an USB OTG cable - the connection speed is lightning fast!
Don't know what you mean about wi-fi sharing. Maybe wi-fi tethering (hotspot) - it's when you share your phone 2G/3G internet connection via wi-fi. This thing is working fine. Wi-fi itself is working, of course.
As for keyboard light: when tested OmniROM, I used liblight solution, but the qwertyled using is simple too: just launch it and you're done. While the service is running, keyboard light will work.
Now I'm on CM 11, and I have 11 days of uptime already, I recommend this ROM (but that's just my taste). In CM 11 keyboard backlights are working from the box, no need for qwertyled.
Also, I looked at the link you posted, to the true-android blog. Please, don't use the guide one can found there, it's awful. You can't install 4.4.2 ROM with recommended 2.6.3.0 TWRP, the correct one is 2.6.3.1 from bubor here, and you don't need any gapps beside included in the ROM.

Now I'm on CM 11, and I have 11 days of uptime already, I recommend this ROM (but that's just my taste). In CM 11 keyboard backlights are working from the box, no need for qwertyled.
Also, I looked at the link you posted, to the true-android blog. Please, don't use the guide one can found there, it's awful. You can't install 4.4.2 ROM with recommended 2.6.3.0 TWRP, the correct one is 2.6.3.1 from bubor here, and you don't need any gapps beside included in the ROM.

Can you use a cyanogen mod rom with clockworkmod recovery installed? i remember trying cyanogenmod with my phone and couldnt get it to work.
Just flash TWRP 2.6.3.1 from link above, it's superior to clockworkmod recovery (CWM) in all ways: touch interface, working backups with compression, charging support and it allows to install KitKat roms. With CWM you can install ROMs up to android 4.3, so, you still can install CM 10.1.3 or CM 10.2 with CWM, but not CM 11.
about wifi direct and sharing...
Pawprints1986 said:
Can someone tell me the difference between wifi direct, wifi sharing, and wifi sharing manager??
Wifi itself is working in 4.4.2 right?
Also, were your keyboard backlights working automatically or did you ened qwerty led?
is qwerty led something that needs to be running all the time. or "ongoing" in the top drawer?

Hey yeah the difference btw wifi direct and sharing is that in wifi direct you connect two devices directly to transfer files...
in wifi sharing you need to host a web adress to share your files
as a result in wifi sharing you host a list of your stuff on a web adress(local) which gets downloaded by other devices on your wifi connection
and a wifi sharing manager can either do this (host ur files using an ip) or my personal favorite is astro which can acess my pc's sharing folder over wifi which is preety awesome>..unlimited storage
also note that in a wifi sharing manager you cannot recieve files easily . . maybe airdroid but it can only run on a pc
wifi sharing apps are airdroid and other file managers like root browser
wifi direct requires specific drivers and libs... i guess.. hence not all devices can do it ..
anyway you should go for cm 11 or omni both are incredibly stable with an occasional hiccup.. which is occasional heh
also would suggest that if you do proceed to install please follow from the developer sources on xda rather than some blog etc

[Q] Very low screen bright after reboot

Hello everybody,
I,ve read all around the forum but I couldn´t find information about my problem so i try it here.
From stock V500 20d I rooted and Installed TWRP 2.7.1.0 thanks to the good information in the Forum. After that, I've installed the ROM CM11 (M10) and, from the first reboot, the screen bright is very low. I hardly could do the first configuration and when it finished I selected the full bright.
After some time working it seems that it recovers some bright and I can down a little bit the bright from top.
Every time I restart the device I have the same bright issue.
Can anyone help me?.
Thanks a lot

Extremely common problem when you were on the 4.4.2 base and are now an AOSP based rom. You either need to change kernels to RedKernel or flash the tablet back to the 4.2.2 base and then reflash your CM rom.

Thank you very much
I try to read the info and decide what to do.
Thanks again
Ok it´s done
First I´ve installer V500-4.2.2-Base from recovery, I have reinstalled CM 11 and everything OK.
I have tried a step beyond and I have installed [KERNEL][v500][4.4.4][AOSP] RedKernel [16/09] (everybody seems to be very happy with it) but, after install synapse I run it and appears "No UCI support detected". Seems that kernel doesn´t support it.
Thank you again for your help

What he said!
This confused me at first too. In the very early days of redkernel he included his own forked version of the UKM scripts those have been removed because the UKM script maintainer agreed to merge his changes and therefore he doesn't have to maintain his own copy (better for all involved so he can focus on kernel development). Search the thread you will find a link to where you can download the official UKM scripts and your problem will go away.
I currently run redkernel on the 4.4.2 base myself. I have not reverted to the 4.2.2. base since my last factory restore. I am very happy with this configuration...

Originally I had issues with the sd card mounting with the 4.4.2 base. Has this been fixed with Red Kernel?

I had the same problems. Mine was two fold, my sd card was dying (I have since got a new one) and the 4.4.2 base was still sometimes having an issue that sd card monitor would show as a bad removal. This was even with the new sd card. Once I switched to Infected's build of slimkat with the redkernel I have not had a bad removal (after running this way now for over a month) and the sd card monitor used to track at least one bad removal a week with stock 4.4.2. I have no idea if this will help others but it is working so far for my device. I am always running sd card monitor since I had problems and it is still reporting a clean record.

Thanks. I am already using Infected's Slimkat, but I am still on 4.2.2 base. I may flash 4.4.2 base and give redkernel or mani kernel a try.

You didn't ask, but my approach would be:
Use LG tool to revert to 4.4.2 stock
Root with towel root
Install recovery and loki (I need to get you a link for this, but it involves editing a batch file to tell it to still install with revision d instead of b)
reboot recovery using adb, and immediately unplug cable
flash a recovery designed for 4.4.2 (2.7.0.1) from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499
Then install infected slimkat, redkernel and the ukm zip files
I never use the 4.4.2 base files to flash the device to 4.4.2 I always use the LG Tool and go from there.

Just curious … is there something wrong with flashing the base files to switch between 4.2.2 and 4.4.2?
Now that I have two Gpad's I plan to install 4.4.2 base on one and compare it with 4.2.2 base on the other. Just wonder if I can tell any difference.
Thanks for the info.

I am unaware of a problem with the 4.4.2 base files provided. I have just never used them, I already had the LG Support Tool downloaded and it was easiest to use the path I knew and was comfortable with.
The key thing (and why I run the 4.4.2 base instead of the 4.2.2. base) that is different is the brightness at its lowest setting. The 4.2.2 base on many of the V500's suffers from alternating light and dark spots on one side of the tablet when viewing the tablet in low light with the brightness at its lowest setting and viewing gmail (any app with a white background basically). I use my tablet mostly in dark conditions like this (man I make it sound like I live in a basement somewhere *laughs*). The 4.4.2 base firmware changes the tablet so it functions well at the lowest brightness.
The first picture in this thread shows the screen problem I refer to (although not on a white screen):

KNOWN BUGS
a2dp is not running perfect, but it runs. - sometimes.
Nfc is probably not working at all, not sure.
GPS acts a little weird sometimes.
Video compression results in pure trash.
Clock might get desynced
DOWNLOADS
Please note this build is for bug-hunting purposes only, yet! (Plain CM is boring anyways)
I am just starting to build for this device and with this build am currently trying to get a stable basis for other roms.
My goal is having a fully working code-base for any AOKP-based 4.4 ROM.
So PLEASE join the testing phase, try every ****ing functionality on your phone and report the results here, so i know whats done and what needs to be done. Thanks!
Rom
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gd42e500zsrl7e0/AACjh4We8ZjULayjWFL7Y1lla?dl=0
Gapps
Use any "ARM - 4.4" package from open gapps (i recommend the nano variant)
Bootloader/Recovery
If you are still on a locked bootloader, having an unrooted stock rom, or an old twrp installed, use this updated unlock/recovery suite for windows and linux:
TWRP 2.8.1.0
SOURCE CODE
https://github.com/hwmt1-u06/android
NOTICE:
I removed the asound codecs, which increases the sound volume dramatically. I wanna enjoy my music loud, when i'm sitting in the bus!
This kinda ****s up the speaker, since its too loud now, which causes clipping.
I use the Equalizier in CM's DSP Manager to reduce the speaker volume (by turning all levels around -6db)
Having loud volume, and the ability to decrase it, is better than having silence and no ability to increase it, right? Thats like going to the hair stylist and wanting longer hair.
Cool, thanks for your effort!
Will give it a try when I feel I have enough time
UPDATE V0.2
CHANGES
Fixed rebooting to recovery
Changed some default system props related to adb and root
Thats it, any bugs?
Otherwise i will now focus on porting more aokp roms, building twrp and a maybe a kernel.
Hi,

Its probably both messed up as well in this ROM, i don't have the hardware to test those functions. Maybe you can tell me
Misjudged, in your instructions I see a clear distinction between a "first time install" and an "update install".
What is the difference between the two?
I mean, I get an idea what it is about but do not feel confident to base a decision on.

its meant like this:
- first install the first installation of THIS rom
- update install is when you already have this rom installed (e.g. v0.1) and you wanna update to another version of this rom (e.g. v0.2), and keep your apps, data and settings.
and remember to backup first!
EDIT: Updated instructions in first post
Very good, thanks!
Okay been giving this CM11 ROM a test drive this week on my Mate. My Mate is the 1 gig version and I have a bad case of call ? screen delay on this ROM. Is there a patch that can help with this? I will admit though that I probably expect too much from my poor little Mate because I have tons of apps on it
I must say though your ROM is the smoothest running ? CM11 ROM I've tried. Good job.
If I could only get rid of or just reduce the call screen delay I could run ? this as my daily driver. But this week I just missed too many calls due to the call ? screen delay.
Keep up the good work. You can depend on me to test any ROMs you put out. :thumbup:

Flashed it on my P6, replaced the kernel with the AK cm kernel for P6 and switched to ART. Very smooth rom, havent seen any issues or bugs yet except the wifi dropping, which does not mean much as it instantly reconnects. Good job.
Edit: Don't know about the ascend Mate but on the P6 OTG is fully functional and stable.
after 24 hours of being my phone:
Bluetooth audio gave me a full cd instead of less than one song, gps works.
I only miss pie control, but that in not CM if I read correctly.
Keep up the good work!
Would love to try your version of carbon rom, if you get round to that
Thanks for tests your reports, guys!
let's see..

ive already patched in a tweak to help that problem atleast a little, i am not sure if theres more i can do.
as far as i know it's a well known jb/kk-problem on devices with very low ram... i had an LG O2x, which hab like 500MB ram or something... it was pretty much ununsable when someone called. i remember something like they started to remove the incallUI from the permanently-open list - if you know what i mean. and that's why it's causing this problem.
i don't really have this problem at all, to be honest. so maybe you can help it by removing some service-apps.. or maybe theres some app to force another app to stay loaded? i don't know, just an idea.

arg... P6? different kernel?
so your report doesnt really help me, since i dont even know what the exact differences between the MT1 and the P6 are, and most off the hardware related stuff is kernel related!
Good to see it's running well for you, though.
But thank you very much, srsly.
btw: you are having the wifi dropping too? thats weird, i was sure thats a kernel & /system/lib/modules thing.
...which is why i focused on kernel building for now. It seems like some people are smashing any modules they can find at their kernel until it works somehow. - this is a huge mistake. kernel modules in /system/lib/modules MUST be built against the exakt same kernel, they will be used on.
To be sure to have that clean, i felt like i need to get into that stuff as well. - and i actually just succeded like 30 minutes ago.
I will try out some things on this build, and when everything seems stable to me, i will even release my own kernel, which will always be shipped with the correct modules
But that will be HIGHLY experimental, and for the MT1 only!
Only had minor hiccups when browsing the internet at the same time.
Now testing the second session of music
Edit: A few more hiccups in one session, pretty good play a bit later. Very usable.
Installed and so far its very smooth

interesting.. is there any cm based rom, where you dont have that problem?
Carbon was the only 4.4.4 rom by Mr. Amid I got working, I know now (with your explanation) that I should have wiped data too when flashing a new rom.
I can not recall having the Maps problem with 4.2 roms.
UPDATE V0.3
CHANGES
Fixed /data/share paths in frameworks-base and system-core
System-props and init.rc script optimization
Using wpa_supplicant_8_ti instead of wpa_supplicant_8
Prebuilt B331 kernel and kernel-modules removed
Built whirlwind.kernel #2 from sources
Built wifi modules against whirlwind.kernel #2
Is a2dp, gps and wifi better with this build, or maybe even worse?
Will I be able to upload videos to instagram ?
