Shiny ROM: Android 4.4.4, KTU84P for Galaxy Nexus (Maguro)
Skip right to the downloads (if you dare )
Hello there XDA GNex community! I'll admit this is a pretty spontaneous post; I've been building ROMs from the Android Open Source (Project) for awhile now, but I've never "published" any of them. I myself used to own a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, so I've always built from AOSP to make sure I'm as up to date as possible. Well, that's a little background so let's get going with the overview of the ROM itself:
Overview
This ROM is Android KitKat 4.4.4, build KTU84P. The ROM is built directly from source, that is, the Android source code published by Google available for download to all of us developers. The reason I say the ROM is "OTA-like" is because I make VERY few modifications to it, aside from the things that it takes to get the ROM working. I'll go into detail about those things below, but basically I just want the ROM to make your phone feel stable and shiny and new as if it has just received a new OTA update. That being said, it's clear that the landscape of Nexus devices is changing as new ones are released. Therefore, the other primary goal of this ROM is to keep our Galaxy Nexus as close to the modern Nexus design as possible. This means that I will also add in features that will still be stock, but will also make our phones as close to a current Nexus as possible.
As for how I handle the forum side of things, I'm always open to comments, questions, suggestions, requests, etc. I know that most of those things will often be in the form of criticism, but it's okay, I think I can handle it That being said, I do also have a life and am a college student, so I may not get to come on here ALL the time. I will check back as frequently as possible, and I'm hoping that you guys will help each other out as much as possible! Keep it friendly! So now for the details...
Features
Stock Android 4.4.4, build KTU84P
Source (AOSP) built kernel (boot.img)
Easily rootable (see information below)
G-Apps (GMail, Play Store, etc.) included in build along with Nexus apps
Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
Shiny restart options - access them by holding down the power button and then long pressing on "Power Off"
All the crazy Google proprietary app stuff has been taken care off
Updated frequently
Everything works!
So what do I mean when I say "Everything works!"?
I'm sure by now you all know that when someone says that, it usually ends up not being true. This ROM is not an exception to that rule, but I can say that I've tested most of the things that would be expected to work in stock Android, such as...
WiFi Tethering (no subscription check)
Bluetooth streaming
Google account sign-in and auto-restore of apps and settings
Google Wallet
Location Services (pretty fast GPS lock in my area also)
Photosphere
Android beam
Photo editing with the new filters
Email
Exchange support
Like I said, the normal stuff (data, voice, hardware acceleration, etc.)
More things that aren't important enough to mention here - check out the changelog for a more comprehensive list
Possible Bugs
It's impossible for me to test for and notice EVERY single possible bug in the operating system, so as of right now I can't say that there are any, although I'm sure you will find some. If you do, report them here!
Other IMPORTANT Information
Root
But wait, nothing in this post said anything about root!!!11!!1!1!!! That's right, my ROM does NOT have root built in! (I don't use any root apps, and it's important to the whole "OTA-like" theme). That being said, the ROM is easily rootable; I made sure of this because I know that many, many of you will use root for many useful purposes. If you want to root the ROM, it's as easy as installing Chainfire's new superuser control app/su with this ZIP file. More detailed information can be found in the "Installation Instructions" section. **NOTE** If you are rooted and upgrading to a new build, you should not have to reflash the rooting flashable ZIP because the ROM will keep root for you.
Updates
Now that the ROM has gotten to this stage, the update policy needs a bit of editing Based on the stats I have access to from the website host and data that I collect myself, it seems like Shiny ROM is currently (as of May 27, 2014) stable for at least 80% of the users who have downloaded it. Based on this, and because the ROM is stock, Nexus-like, it doesn't really make sense to update the ROM as frequently as before. The ROM will still be updated as soon as possible after new versions of Android are released. In between Android versions, I will work on making things 100% stable, although that goal isn't always attainable with older devices and aging hardware support. If we decide to explore other paths for the ROM, you will see many more updates If/when the time comes for me to stop updating Shiny ROM, I will let everyone know in a clear way.
Radios
This ROM will (most likely) work with any maguro radios (so long as you have the appropriate ones for your device/area; however, I of course recommend using the most recent radios doe your device. You can find flashable ZIPs of all radio versions in the download post.
Bootloader
Once again, I'm assuming that this ROM will work with all tuna bootloaders; BUT for optimal experience and performance, use the newest Google-approved bootloader, PRIMEMD04. My ZIP installation package for that bootloader can be downloaded here.
ClockworkMod Recovery
I personally recommend using ClockworkMod Recovery as it has always worked well for me with no quirks. Android 4.2 messed up a few aspects of recoveries because of its multi-user system. ClockworkMod Recovery has been updated to correct some of these issues, and I recommend updating to the most recent version, 6.0.4.7. You can flash either the touch recovery or non-touch recovery image through fastboot OR you can download my flashable recovery update ZIP (touch/non-touch) and flash it in recovery. Check out the installation instructions for more details on this.
Some Other Not-so-important Information
Naming Conventions
All of my ROM ZIP files are automatically generated by my build computer. All builds begin with the prefix ShinyROM_maguro_aosp. That prefix is always followed by the date in mmddyy format (e.g. 112212), a hyphen ("-"), and the time in 24-hour, hhmmss format (e.g. 153945). Finally, all builds end with the "signed" suffix - it just helps me know which packages have finished building and which have not. Hopefully this helps everyone to know which update is newest; I stay away from version numbers because I let Google do all of the version control.
Source
In keeping with the spirit of open-source, all relevant Shiny ROM code can be viewed on Github. I'm not extremely experienced with Github, so bear with me as I learn! Thank you!
File Hosting
I've switched over from using Dev-host to a privately hosted site, graciously and generously given to me by user Goofball. Dev-host is still an amazing service, but it's much more convenient for me to use a privately hosted site, plus I get my own suburl and FTP access! HUGE thanks to Goofball! The private hosting will definitely help me deliver a better experience to you guys as far as downloading goes. You can view all of my uploaded, public files here: http://shinyrom.goofball.org/
Also, if anyone ever wants to mirror for me, please feel free so long as you keep the file name and the file itself intact. As for everyone who downloads from a posted mirror: BE CAREFUL! Always use a virus scanner and be careful with what you are putting on your device!
Installation Instructions (VERY IMPORTANT - Note: You can flash all of these ZIPs in CWM or TWRP*)
*Android 4.4 KitKat builds must be installed using the latest version of your preferred recovery!
ROM
1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the download post. (Also download any other files you will need to install, such as Chainfire's SuperSU Root ZIP, radio installation ZIPs, the bootloader installation ZIP, etc.)
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. If you want to be 100% sure there are no problems, wipe data. If you are coming from another ROM or Android version, wipe data. If you do not wipe data and something goes wrong, repeat this process but wipe data - this step is not necessary if you are simply upgrading.
10. If you are updating your radios, flash the radio ZIP
11. If you are updating your bootloader, flash PRIMEMD04-signed.zip
12. Flash the ROM (ShinyROM_maguro_aosp...signed.zip)
13. If you are rooting, flash Chainfire's SuperSU ZIP file - this step is not necessary if you were rooted on the previous build and are simply upgrading.
14. Reboot your phone, and enjoy!
**Note: If you are simply upgrading to a new version of the ROM and want to keep root, follow the exact instructions above, and do not format /system. It really is not necessary to format /system at any time (unless specifically noted), as the ROM installer has this function built in.
Mods
1. Download the latest version of the mod(s) you wish to install from the download post.
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. Install the mod(s) you downloaded in step 1.
10. Fix permissions (not really necessary)
11. Reboot and enjoy!
**Note: You can remove all mods you've installed by dirty flashing the latest version of the ROM.
ClockworkMod Recovery (Fastboot method - must have an unlocked bootloader and fastboot in your path)
1. Download either the CWM touch recovery image or non-touch recovery image to your computer and rename it to "recovery.img".
2. Power off your phone.
3. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
4. Plug your phone into your computer using the standard USB cable.
5. Open the command prompt/terminal and navigate to the folder where your "recovery.img" is saved.
6. Type "fastboot devices" to make sure your phone is recognized; a serial number should show up on the screen.
7. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and wait for the process to complete (should be quick).
8. You're done! Use the volume keys to select "Recovery" and boot into your new recovery!
ClockworkMod Recovery (Flashable ZIP method - easier)
If you are updating your recovery before flashing a ROM, these steps should ALL be completed PRIOR to flashing the ROM.
1. Download either the touch recovery flashable ZIP or the non-touch recovery flashable ZIP.
2. Place the ZIP file downloaded in step 1 on your internal storage/sdcard.
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Choose "Install update from sdcard"
7. Select "Choose file from sdcard"
8. Find the flashable recovery ZIP file you downloaded and install it
9. Back up to the root menu of recovery
10. Select "advanced"
11. Select "reboot recovery"
12. The phone should boot up into your new recovery!
Credits
As with most ROMs, I only did a small part to get everything together. Also, a note that should be made here is that when I am using someone else's file, I ALWAYS host files on the Shiny ROM server to ensure that I don't put any unnecessary stress on their servers. Any file, however, still belongs to and is accredited to its original creator as listed below:
Willyjay - For providing us with lots of amazing and innovative mods for the ROM!
Inmanster - Another great modder who we are fortunate to have here in the thread. He works in collaboration with Willyjay and his mods for many things, but also does some of his own unique mods!
Chainfire - For their SuperSU app and su binary, as well as the convenient ZIP update package, which was previously used and recommended. Check out their website, http://www.chainfire.eu/
Groupers - My new buddy who helped me out with a GPS issue that popped up in 4.2.
Google - Without their amazing staff and willingness to share the source code of their operating system, I wouldn't have been able to build this ROM! Of course, all of the Google apps are theirs, along with the Play Store and system apps. They really are the true owners of all of this.
Samsung - We all may have some mixed feelings about them, but in the end they gave us the amazing, hackable phone that is the Galaxy Nexus.
XDA - By providing such a great Android community, ROMs like this one are able to easily connect with users and get their work out there
Dev-Host - The file-sharing service with virtually no limits on sharing - kudos to them and their hard work. d-h.st
Koush and the ClockworkMod/ROM Manager Team - They make the best recovery that's been around for longest, and their constant updates allow us to keep making ROMs! Also, Koush's recently released open source Superuser control app is the best available and the one linked to in the thread. Thanks Koush! clockworkmod.com
Kevdliu - Huge thanks to this dev and their amazing quick settings mod!
The CyanogenMod Team - For a working implementation of DSPManager on Android which can be ported to any AOSP-based ROM! Without them and Bigwavedave25, the DSP manager mod would not be available! Be sure to thank them and to check out the CyanogenMod website! Also, for their feature-filled version of the stock Messaging app which is available as a mod for my ROM!
bouchigo - a user who has helped to make the CM10 Messaging app available as a mod for my ROM in conjunction with Willyjay for bringing it to my attention.
Schoat333 - A user who helped out Willyjay with the bubble styled MMS mods. The credit for the screenshots to go along with the mods goes to him!
Yarly - The most experienced admin I've ever had the pleasure of talking with, who taught me some new debugging tricks and answered some of my questions.
Razorloves - Another admin who helped me out with a few problems and answered a lot of my questions!
Tiny4579 - A kernel dev who also took the time to talk with me and answer a few of my questions.
Thanks to everyone for their hard work and sharing that work with others!
DISCLAIMER
Come on guys, it's a Galaxy Nexus, to what extent could it really get messed up? Nonetheless, in case someone flashes this then puts their phone in the microwave or something and tries to blame it on me, I am not directly responsible for anything that occurs, either negative or positive, from flashing this ROM to your phone. Despite that, I am posting in the spirit of the Android community, a community that I have embraced and belonged to for several years, and I would never try to hurt any of your innocent, beautiful phones. Also, none of the original source for Android belongs to me, nor do any of Google's apps. All preinstalled applications are property of Google, Inc. and I make no claim of ownership to them.
Okay that's about it! THE ROM DOWNLOAD LINK AND A SUMMARY OF ALL FILE DOWNLOADS CAN BE FOUND BELOW!

Mods
Before installing any of the packages below, please be sure to check out the mod installation instructions in the OP!
Key
To make mod installation more convenient, all mod links will now be color-coded based on the files they change. The key shows what each color corresponds with:
Red - SystemUI.apk
Blue - framework-res.apk
Purple - SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk
Green - Other
If you install mods that are in the same color group, it is likely that they will overwrite each other. It is OK to overwrite a previously installed mod, but please note that the originally installed mod will no longer be there. If you want to completely revert to stock, flash the "Back to Stock ZIP" mod under the baldwinguy77 mod section. This mod replaces your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files with ones from the stock ROM.
Developer-specific Mods
All of these mods have been provided by some really awesome mod developers who take the time to continue to make updated mods for my newest ROM builds. That being said, they have lives and can't always get the mods out right away, so make sure the date next to their name matches the build you're running! They usually are around the thread and are open to doing custom mods if you ask Be sure to thank them and check out the credits section for more info!
Baldwinguy77 (Updated for 8/9/14 build)
Back to Stock ZIP - Returns you to the stock version of the ROM by removing SystemUI and framework-res mods.
Stock kernel flashable ZIP - Overwrites any custom kernel you have installed with the stock kernel normally packaged with the ROM.
Inmanster (Updated for 3/9/14 build)
36 DPI Nav. Bar - Replaces the stock navigation bar with a smaller (height-wise), 36 DPI version.
Black Dash-style Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with black, dash-style ones.
Blue Stock Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with blue-colored ones.
Carrier Text Replacement - Replaces the carrier text on the lockscreen and pulldown notification shade with "Galaxy Nexus".
Extended Battery Framework Mods - Improve accuracy of battery level reporting for those using extended batteries.
2100 mAh (with Carrier Text Replacement mod)
3050 mAh
3800 mAh
5900 mAh (with No CRT-off Animation mod)
Grey Battery Percentage - Enables display of the current battery percentage in the status bar with grey-colored font.

No CRT-off Animation - Removes the stock, default CRT-like screen off animation.
White Zenyth-style Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with white, zenyth-style ones.
Universal Mods & Downloads
These mods have been compiled by myself, sometimes in conjunction with the modders above, to always work with any version of the ROM (but not necessarily any device). Therefore, you don't have to worry so much about these being up-to-date because they should always work. If that is ever not the case, simply PM me and we'll get it fixed This section also includes some other Verizon Galaxy Nexus related downloads such as the latest radios and bootloader. You can use these according to the installation instructions in the OP.
Universal Mods
AOSP Web Browser (for Android 4.4) - Installs the AOSP web browser with Chrome bookmark syncing for Android 4.4.
DSP Manager (for Android 4.4) - Installs the DSP Manager app along with the audio libs and configs important to running the service, allowing you to customize the audio equalizer of your device. At the moment, certain apps on Android 4.4 do not work with the modular DSP service.

No GApps "Add-on" Zip
Some people don't like the way ShinyROM includes its own GApps. Flash this zip directly after the ROM and it will strip out most of the included GApps so that you may use the preferred GApps of your choosing. This will leave the core GApps (Store, Services, etc.) as well as any others required for basic functionality (Keyboard, Camera, Launcher, Dialer, etc.) since there are none of the AOSP counterparts included.
This is particularly handy for GApps packages that try to measure the free space and may fail to install if it feels there isn't enough room.
Enjoy!
Finally! Boom!

No worries! I actually love having the GApps included, but a lot of people were fussing about it in Sesme's port thread so I thought I'd help out.
Also if you're interested, on xda here we've got a complete maguro radio thread and CWM thread I maintain:
[REF] [RADIO] [GSM] Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250 Baseband Collection & Discussion
[RECOVERY] [GN] [GSM] ClockworkMod Recovery Official + Nightlies [Flashable Zip]
:good:
Is this rom lagging for anyone? Right after I flash it I can't even pass the Setup Wizard ..
Just awesome man! The port was already the best ROM. Pure stock, and I can tell you, it's blazing fast!

Awesome! Exactly what we need.
Giving this ROM a go.
Nice to see its official now. But on post #1 there are some reference to rootzwiki as xda and I know its probably a copy+paste thing that's why. Just pointing it out

Hey there! I'd love to push out builds for toroplus as well - I think it's safe to say that's next in the pipeline.

Oops! I thought I got all of the necessary edits but I missed the one right at the beginning! *Facepalm* Thank you for pointing that out - it's fixed now
Are those battery Extended Battery Framework zips compatible with maguro? I downloaded them from toro's RootzWiki thread a while ago and they were giving me a bootloop
Also, can I use them with other ROMs?
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus utilizzando Tapatalk
I've read that it's not possibile to flash ROM over a stock 4.3 rom.
Someone can confirm this? Also if I wipe /cache partition and Dalvik cache?
Investigating it seems that zip file contains an update script which only overwrites the entire /system mount point.
So, what are the consequences of updating ROM over a stock 4.3 rom?

TWRP 2.6.0.0 and ClockworkMod v6.0.5.3 upload pls.
can't install it
Hi ! I need help with this installation procedure, cause i put the code on the terminal emulator, and then, my cwm is deleted.. I want to try this cm rom ! Please help !
Problem with recovery
I didn't have problems before with installing any rom or recovery, I think I've passed through all of possible combinations, but this time, it's terribly buggy :/
I started from stock rom 2.3.6 XEO (as always) then installed CWM Custom Recovery "CWM-5.0.2.8_GAZZY.tar" (need some cwm to update, right?) but stock rom didn't find "flash_image" just like few other roms (arkas for ex.)
Finally Burnmode's KitKatSpecialEdition didn't alert about anything missing and it just jumped to the next line. (success I think, right?) The problem is that when I reboot into recovery it flashes a blank, black screen and reboots leaving my phone recovery-less ! What do I do wrong? Since then I tried many roms and most of them don't work anymore (no luck with cm10.2 for example, KitKat special edition works, so it's the only thing I can now run without bugs, but it's BurnMode's rom, it always works well)
I downloaded recovery.img "2014-12-04 22:43:18" which is the newest (at least now!) is there a problem with the recovery, my phone or maybe I am doing something wrong? My options are now very limited since many things crash my phone (can't flash a stock rom anymore, might be hard to do it again)
Hi

I tried finding the rom and the only one i could find on the inter-webs is here but the website is paid one so i cant download and i cant check the checksum
http://chomikuj.pl/kaktus47/Telefon....0.0-GT-I5510-callisto,4616249982.zip(archive)
OK; here you go. That's what I found on my disk. No checksums, so you got to trust me, or unpack and inspect everything. (Perhaps someone else can confirm?)
https://drive.google.com/folderview...hrbmxzZFUwdTd0N1RSdTN4OHI1VzhsVlk&usp=sharing
Prerequisites:
You must have flashed CWM6 using Odin before.
Also you need a second partition on your sdcard, formatted as ext4.
Preparation:
Put the files you need on the sdcard (normal vfat partition), shut down the phone.
Charge the phone's battery.
Now the really tricky stuff (if you mastered Odin, that's just a piece of cake though):
Start the phone into recovery.
Flash the ROM image, and wipe data.
Boot into Android, install and setup s2e to use the sd-ext partition.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash the gapps package, and possibly one of the keyboard zips (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56625731&postcount=162 for those). You may have to switch off package checks in between.
Reboot into Android, and change your governor and io scheduler settings.
Done.
Edit: I've got requests to share the filespace - which should be accessible by link. I'm re-adding the URL now. Apologies to everyone who tried in vain
@steve8x8 Hi, I know it's been a long time but i hope you see this, but could you please be more specific with the steps? what files to use, what keys to press? Sorry it's been a while since i used this phone or any android phone, what odin version should i use?
Have you searched the 'net (and the archive.org) for the original 551 blog? It has/had a quite good explanation of almost everything related to this particular phone. Odin version doesn't matter much, I had used 4.34 (that was current when the instructions were written) and 4.43 IIRC, no difference. Make sure to get good instructions for the CWM flash, as this is the stage where most bricks happen.
To make things easier, I'm uploading the stuff related to the Odin step from my HD ("Odin" subfolder on GDrive), more than two years old. Use them on your own risk, and check the URLs provided.
Note that I didn't go directly for CM11, but installed CM10.2 first. I would have to read the instructions to tell whether this was actually necessary...
On the way, I upgraded the recovery (from the jenkins server that doesn't exist any longer, http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/view/Developers/job/cm-recovery/24/ of Oct 2014) to 6.0.5.3. (IIRC I did this using the terminal emulator, not Odin, but that should be possible too. I'll upload the recovery.img)
You perhaps max have to create your own Odin-flashable recovery similar to the following (again, I assume no liability at all!):
- take a .tar.md5 as starting point, and unpack it (it's just a tar with a checksum appended)
- replace the recovery.img
- create a new tar file x.tar (name it as you like)
- (cat x.tar; md5sum x.tar) >x.tar.md5
- Odin flash that
I admit it becomes more and more difficult to keep the necessary tools, files, and instructions available and in shape for devices as old as this one (I'm still confused by the "KERNEL3" series.)
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------
Quick addendum: there's a new, stagefright-fixed cm11 available for callisto, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453085&page=27 - which is currently being debugged but looks promising (see page 29 of that thread)
---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------
It seems that there's a lot of stuff still around if you search for the "galaxy-551" tag.
Bebek's GD might also be interesting (with Odin, CWM5, and more, but stopping at Gingerbread): https://docs.google.com/folderview?...SURkMEE&tid=0B-QaRW7SLPQPTHpaQXR5b1ZVMHc#list

I didn't plan to, and indeed they are still there. Is there anyone using a Callisto running CM11?
Last night I had a dream: There was a recent ROM upgrade for the Callisto (not sure whether Nougat or Oreo), and I had started to dig out all the old instructions and notes to make it happen.
Only in the morning, after having a big mug of coffee, I realized it was only a dream :'(

Best Lean kernel version for note 3
davwman said:
My setup is something that needs a book to describe and how to get where I am. I don't use power save, I don't greenify, no uc, I do over clock and have a total of 190 apps which includes all essential system apps and my personal use apps. Think titanium backup and removing close to 175 apps that I never use. The only thing that is touchwiz on my phone is the dialer and calendar app as well as the camera.

Which kernel is the best out of the following 3. Lk 3.8, 3.8.1 or 3.12?
No problems with this Kernel. Anyone know when FauxSound will be included again?

Does this kernel support fast charge with trickster mod
Relatively new to ROMs etc. Started after the Samsung Note 3 4.4.4 upgrade borked my GPS. I play Ingress so GPS is critical. I found Dialler input string that made things better - temporarily only. It seemed to accumulate something that sent it downhill again after a couple weeks.
Unfortunately flashing the CM11 M8 didn't help and it totally borked my Dialler. I could answer calls but it would take a couple of minutes to get screen control back after the call, and forget about putting it into speaker mode - black screen. Meanwhile you had to hope the other person would hang up for you...
I installed a CM recovery and C-ROM and it kind of fixed the GPS problems - only kind of. And similarly for the phone calls. I know - who uses a phone to do phone calls right? But when you do, you want it to actually bloody work.
Unfortunately C-ROM seem to have bailed, and there's been zero contact for months.
So I'm looking at flashing Dirty Unicorns.
One thing I'm wondering before I start is, given the core system issues I've been having, should I install a different kernel? From what I've been able to read, it's the kernel that does the actual system interface, and the ROM is just the person-friendly front end. So perhaps the phone and GPS problems are kernel-related?
And if so, what one out of the files (there are a lot of them under the link) and how do I do that? Where does it fit into the flashing ROM sequence? I'm finding it pretty hard to find clear guidance on this.
Thanks for your help.

kernel lean run on lollipop beta ?
Hi I would like to know if the kernel lean run on lollipop beta ?
Deep Sleep with Bluetooth
Hello,
I was running CM11 M12 snapshot on my Note3 for a while and decided to flash lean kernel lk_hltecm-v3.16 . Right after the flash my phone wont go into Deep Sleep anymore if Bluetooth is enabled.
While it's enabled "msm_serial_hs_dma wakelock" is constantly running. When I disabled Bluetooth or flash back to the stock kernel everything is fine.
I even did a full wipe and flash of lk and the only app installed is Better Battery Stats and I still have the same issue.
Any ideas? I would love to use this kernel but it looks like this would kill my battery when my phone is not in use with Bluetooth enabled.
Thanks.

Hello cain i flash the 3.17 version on lollipop official TW?
Testing
Tested beta 4 earlier and loved it minus the sdcard issue. Everything worked on my n900t. Even my VPN and rdp apps that let me into my work servers worked as well as wifi calling...which is a must. Also all around fluidity was great. About to test beta 7. Looking forward to end results. Keep up the great work. I'll drop a reply and a log if I notice anything drastic that stands out but it looks like the finish line is close.
hello, does this kernel work with the exynos version of the note 3(sm-n900)? I'm using lollipop
Should I wipe dalvik cache before or after flashing the kernel or should I wipe cache and dalvik both before and after?
Has anyone else experienced an issue with moving the apps to sd following the update to 6.1 kernel? I flashed back to 6.0 and that function works ....maybe a bug of some sort?

Nadia n7100 kernel internet browser
Hello there,
After using Nadia kernel for some days now, i have noticed from the beginning of using this kernel that the stock Internet browser is laggy. No matter what governor i choose and no matter if it's on 1600mhz or else.
I have tried even default settings that come with the kernel, reflash the kernel, and reinstall the stock samsung 4.4.2 adroid.
It;s the same. with original kernel works perfect, it's perfect smooth in browsing.
What is wrong? i think the problem comes from the Mali blobs. i had to install them otherwise i got blank screen at boot
So I suppose development of this kernel has been indefinitely suspended? Any sort of timeline would be appreciated or confirmation that there aren't gonna be further updates any time soon. Thanks.

I actually consider that the kernel is already optimised and we have acces to every setting. the only issue about it , i think, is the mali blobs .. in the default android browser there is a lag. only there
The lulzactive governor is broken in the latest version (always craps out/locks up after prolonged use), pegasusq has issues with call screen lag and slow device wakeup and audio stutter when screen is off zzmove profiles don't stick when selected in Synapse, even moderate undervolting is not stable in version r7, currently using ondemand gov...so I guess there's room for improvements. All on Phoenix 18.8, deleted Synapse data before install, cleared cache and dalvik cache, deleted init.d scripts, makes no difference the kernel is great in functionality but it has issues.

on my n7100 4.4.2 stock rom, the pegasus works OK, the lulzactive has the cpu min and max lock on cores that's for sure.
the best way is to find out the best settings for you in Synapse, and after that, create your on init.d scripts and then is no need for the Synapse application to apply settings after boot.
The init.d scripts will gonna apply the settings you made at booting.
Dark screen
Hi! I need your help... i had this rom: DIAMOND ROM V 7.0L Based on XXUFNL1. It was working well. Then i have flashed your kernel v.7 and reboot the system.
This was 30 minutes ago. The screen is black and when i press some buttom, nothing. If i press it again, its vibrating two times, if i press it again, just one time then i press and it vibrates again and again. And if i press again the same buttom, it vibrates one time but on this time it´s longer the vibrating time.
What can i do now? I really need your help please... i have the latest TWRP installed.
Thank you for your time and sorry for bothering you.

[/SIZE][SIZE=+1][/SIZE]You are overriding the currect firmware with another ROM and Kernel. There are some AOSP or CyanogenMod based ROMs available, which are upgraded to Android Marshmallow, but you can also install a Samsung Stock based ROM, which is based on Android 4.3 or Android 4.4. You can flash your Note 2 with TWRP or ClockWorkMod. [SIZE=+1]Q4: Download Mode... What is this?[/SIZE]
In Download Mode you can flash ROMs or Recovery to your phone. If you want to flash the Stock-ROM back, you are forced to use Odin to flash the firmware. For flashing via Odin, you need to boot into Download Mode. To get into the download-mode, you must shut down your Note 2 and start it, while pressing Power, Volume Down and the home button.[SIZE=+1]

WIP - "Work In Progress"
Zipalligned - An archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
INTL - International
Odex - Files that are collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application.

Pls help me when I disconnect my phone from charger it stuck in boot image like icon of galaxy note 2 after that when I connect again it starts normally and I do disconnect this happen again pls help me our bootloop and I tried many ROMs but not able to fix help me
Hello PLZ someone help me. I searched for more than two weeks to solve my problem and did not find any results
I'm sorry in advance that I could not write English well.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) phone with Android 9 custom ROM, which I charged quickly when it finished charging, but it doesn't turn on now.
The mobile stops on the Samsung logo or lineage logo or mobile Battery animation when I charge it and I can only go into recovery mode and download mode
After this incident, I wanted to factory reset it with the custom recovery twrp that I installed on my mobile phone or wipe all the memory, but I got the error "Unable to mount storage".
Even when I wanted to install the official ROM with micro sd memory, twrp displays zero for mobile memory, sd memory and otg.
I also wanted to flash it with Odin with four official files and a pit file, which was unsuccessful and show erorr at the end the message "re-partition operation failed" was announced.
I tried to flash files again with the Miracle tool without a box. Some partitions were burned, but due to the inability to burn some partitions, I received a wrong reply error (0).
Also, after flashing the recovery file with the official recovery and new version of twrp, Miracle displayed a successful message, but in practice, there was no change in my custom recovery.
So I'm looking for a way to repair emmc with just a usb cable and no box or any other way to repair my mobile
