[ROM]CM7 Kangs - Latest 2012\08\27

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

thanks skeevy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Should we focus on 4.2 or 4.3? i hope one of the half best tester on 4.2 should try 4.3

I will test CM10.2 myself as I´m also interested how well it´s working. But about the difference between CM 10.2 and Carbon 4.3, isn´t the Carbon a themed CM10.2?
I also think it should be no problem to create our own working Gaaps we can use for this ROM.

Just got back from vacation as I told in the dev-section, and I only got one question: did you guys modify GApps in some way to make it work, or something in the ROM? I can just use the official GApps from goo.im which I already downloaded to use with my grouper, can't I?
Otherwise my PC will be an insane mess with all different kinds of GApps floating around

Yes, you should be able to use the official Gapps now, if you want to. The problem was not in the Gapps, was in the ROM.
And...welcome back! Got new ROM for you.

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

Is there a way to save photo taken to external sd instead of internal? BTW, I think I found a bug : apps that put in a folder on desktop (by dragging an app to another) will randomly disappear after reboot.

I am using this rom + Seeder 7 Script and it's working really perfect! Many thanks @ all devs involved in this rom!

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

Many thanks!
I was able to install it on Nexus 5, but not able to log in into my profile to get "My Places" (which is the main thing I'm missing in Maps v7).
When I go to Settings > Sign in, a "Login failed" bubble appears, and in the notification tray "Sign-in Request" message, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I have two Google accounts on this phone, if this makes any difference.

You - almost - saved my day!

Same here!
The app installed properly and I was already jubilating. But then Login failed as OldSavage explains. Login via settings leads to same result.
Any idea why or a workaround? By the way, I only have one Google account on the phone. That shoulnd't be the reason for the issue.
For me too, beeing able to access "My Places" is the main reason why GM7 is useless to me (strange enough, tha they dumped such a basic feature)

SORRY.... I feel this morning like a stupid noob
Of course is your version right. I installed after downloading my own old and wrong maps version
And... You all are right.
I installed the 6.5.0 few months ago and everything works fine. Login and my locations also work after confirm the things in the notification bar.
But I didn't see, that now the maps are not logged in. No my locations, and no search function.
Maybe the new firmware updates are the problem. Before I updated my note 3, it works perfectly.

Good Luck people...!!

I would just like to say thank you to the OP for posting this installation file. I hated Google Maps 7.0+ since it came out this past summer and immediately "downgraded" back to 6.0+ on my Galaxy S4 and ignored all Google Play updates for it. When I installed JellyBean 4.3, unfortunately it updated Maps to 7.0+ on its own. I used it for one day and was already at my wits end with it. Thanks again for this.
My only question regarding it is, is the map data static or will it update itself whenever Google updates map data? For example, if a street in my neighborhood suddenly gets changed from 2 way to one way and Google Maps is notified and updated, will your custom app know this as well?

The map data is in the cloud - it's not part of the app... so it will update.

A tip to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
The maps 6 version is also running at the same time with Maps 7.
I have a lot of background activities / wakelocks.
Probably location tagging or other stuff.
You can switch off the following options in Maps 6 without loosing the functions, because they are already activated in maps 7.
(Depending what you have activated)

OS Update

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

Follow these steps if the update does not appear on your phone (seems like it will still take a while to appear - these steps do not work for me either).

A short question for my part: as it is mentioned in the mail (see first link) one will have to re-install the App-Store.
Does one lose any other of the installed stuff? What about the backupping? Is the pre-installed app working fine or can someone recommend anything else based on her/his experience?

I just upgraded, and although I had to try pushing the Upgrade button a few times before it would actually work, everything right now seems to be working as is and nothing else seems to have become lost. I hadn't backed up anything, mainly because I hadn't thought of it - it would, in fact, have been wise. I do indeed no longer get the empty sim notification for sim slot 2, which is nice. Tweaks such as GravityBox and Xprivacy still seem to work just fine.

Hey everybody,
I have a small problem. After reinstalling the Google apps by widget I removed Thema not used apps and tools. G+, bookmark syncing....
Now Threema using GCM doesn't work anymore.
Is it possible to reset the widget to install the apps really easy?
Otherwise dies someone has the zip to install it manually?

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

This was done on Stock Android (AOSP) 1.0, as described here. So even though I think the result would be the same, you could just repeat this procedure on your Fairphone OS 1.3 in order to create a flashable zip-file.
I've been using AOSP since day one, and never had any of the described glitches or crashes, so I won't start using it now
But in a week or two, I'll start nagging Fairphone again about AOSP updates, since it would be great to get at least the camera tint fixed.
Hope this helps!

Yeah I would like to do this, but my widget just shows me right now, that I installed them already.
Has someone else an idea how to reset the widget?
I tried to delete the data of the widget and got to fairphone OS app site, bit deleting data there only deleted my home screen....

Here are the Fairphone Google Apps 16.05.2014
I tried it with your old ones, but in the new one, there are some more components.
You can do the update without diasbling the XPosed Framework, it will be deactivated automatic.

I have extended my partition before the update. As it comes with a simple zip file, you will not have changes to the current partition configuration.
As per Xposed, you will have to reinstall it afterwards anyway. No need to disable it.
The only recommendation would be to make a valid clockworkmod backup before the installation. The default fairphone recovery does not handle repartitioned phones well in my experience.
You will even be able to use the backup to restore only the applications you need with the tool Nandroid Manager * ROOT.

Problems after updating: Keyboard completely gone?
Hi everybody,
haven't been around for some time, quite busy ATM.
I updated to 1.3 Chestnut, and had the AOSP keyboard problem (crashes). Then, I tried to be smart and shot meself in the foot: I used titanium backup to restore the keyboard. As the app reported that the installation did not, erm, install, I tried to remove the keyboard app. Which also apparently did not work. I thought to postpone everything and turned the phone off.
Now, the keyboard seems completely gone, and I can't unlock my phone. Instead, it shows the red microphone button and tells me to "Speak now".
To sum up:
* I can't unlock the phone because the keyboard is gone, and fallback seems to be voice recognition.
* I can't re-install GApps using the widget, because I can't unlock the phone.
* I can't access phone storage or sd card because the phone is locked, and USB is set to media mode (or whatever it's called).
* I can't access the SD card because I'm using Windows on my desktop, and Win7 does want to format my sd card because it has a non-compatible file system.
Any ideas?
Oh, btw: de-crypting the phone works. I've got a keyboard there.

Do you have access to another SD card?
So install the update manually again and the keyboard should be back again.
The data were still there, when I did it.
Sent from my FP1 using XDA Free mobile app

I've applied the update manually by rebooting into recovery mode (hold power + volume up) and then selecting the option to send an update via ADB. I'm not sure whether you need to have USB debugging enabled first for this to work from recovery, but it may be worth a try if the SD card approach doesn't work out.

Since @benxda was asking for some feedback on the new update, here is mine.
I had the 1.2RC installed before. So I was not able to get the OTA update. Anyway, I decided to repartition my phone first, then install the update (I did not repartition it before... so space was getting low). Everything worked fine and now I have chestnut on my phone with a bigger data partition. yay!
Anyhow, I am still hoping for a bluetooth fix. Unfortunatly "Optimized settings for some Bluetooth profiles (e.g., HID)" did not solve my bluetooth pairing problem with my car. But I did not really expect it since @joemier stated somewhere that the bluetooth stack problem will not be fixed with 1.3. Anyhow I still tried.
Bluetooth is my main issue, and from where I am standing, I do not really get why it is not fixed,yet. I saw it fixed in various jelly bean custom roms. So why not ask the people who already did it how they did it. One example for this might be found here. If I remember correctly he fixed that in alpha6 or something. But on the other hand I am no android developer and from my perspective this might look easier than it is.
So I guess my questions for Fairphone would be:
Are you still working on the bluetooth issue? what are the plans on fixing it (or rather how do you want to tackle it)?
what priority does it have?
On a closing note, I feel the same way as @MarcoToo in his post. That people either moved on, or just don't care anymore. Sounds a bit cynical maybe, but I think that's how it is at the moment. And I must admit that I thought about buying a new phone with similar specs and more custom rom action going on. like the galaxy s4 mini. But it is really hard for me to get rid of a phone which I used for only a few month. But one of the major reasons why I bought this phone does not apply anymore (hackability).

B634 much better than B510, B511, B512, B513.

After pass through all KK versions availables, my conclusion is that the B634 is the best version in performance, battery consumption, etc..
My method has been the installation through local dload and local upgrade option.
Immediatly after installation, do a "factory data restoration" to guaranty a clear implementacion (radioFM its there).
Before installing my applications,
Disable all applications preinstalled that you do not use use, not forgetting Google apps those are particularly resource-intensive consum.
With Protected Apps option disable all of them, except Whatsapp.
With networked application option, disable all of them except those you want (browser, mail, whatsapp, ...).
Later install your apps and restrict them access to network and protected as you want.
You only need to be root if you want to hide the name of the carrier from the notification bar.
This is my experience i hope it helps for somebody, as the excellent entries this forum has helped me to understand this crazy and funny terminal.

+ as you say
- after B634 the P6 is for all Time a Turkey Phone (see /data/custum.bin after downgrade to other rom)

It is true, I forget to say in my previous post that ONLY INSTALL THE FIRST UPDATE FILE !!!
It seems according is indicated in another post that the second file contains something not so good ...
Luckily I have only installed the first update file ....

This firmware is much better than all of the other ones i have tried.
Much smoother.
I flashed the part 1 and part 2 and then i read the post about the fact that it changed it from Europe to something else "vodafone/trso" I flashed the file from the other post Vendor Westeuropa_for B51x.zip which puts it back to standard European branding.
The only minor issue I have is that the boot animation is the stock "Android" but I don't care that much.
All fine so far.....

I flashed the first part.. start up logo , theme is the same as from previous. Radio etc works as before.. only the now it is B634. Cannot feel any special change. I think the best ROM which has GPS fix was from the B511. This is okay'ish like B513

Part2 have included and write a new batt.img. i have not found a Huawei original batt.img to recover it with my patch.
But, i`m now back to B512 with my patch and Batterydrain in Deepsleep(3G and Wifi on)) is 0,5%/h.

The battery life for me (still early days) seems to be ok, I even managed to improve it by turning off "Always-on mobile data" and it reduced the battery usage a lot.(and I still seem to get push messages etc)
