[ROM][6.35] Sanpei's HERO Sense, OCed version/almost everything like HTC official ROM

FOR 32A, RADIO 6.35 and SPL 1.76
this port only have very little modification from original official ROM, some kernel driver tweaks, camera libs replacement, our bt firmware, sensors files and root.
first boot could be not very smooth. screen may go blank, if you would encounter this problem, just wait for a while, and press some keys. when you make all your settings done, a reboot is highly recommended. I have used it daily now.
download:
latest update [Jun 26]::
OC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=349885&d=1277499752
non-OC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=350638&d=1277631885 , under testing, plz report bugs.
changes:
HTC's battery driver
a new driver extension to support default USB netshare *
a newer sanpei helper which is reimplement **
non-OC version: screen on 528/352, screen off 240/176 ***
OC version: screen on 576/384, screen off 245/176 (4.0 in Linpack with JIT)
other fixes, many error reports in aosp kernel (which version > 2.6.29) have gone, we have a clean dmesg now
ROM itself:
apply update after you flash the ROM:

mirror: http://www.multiupload.com/RRWFEYLPP1 , by malachaskos, thank you
wipe and flash in recovery, and you should delete the generated files (by android) in your sd card.
please make sure that you have installed driver properly. a little more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6180261&postcount=986
addition:
for JIT, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345213&stc=1&d=1276842897
you have to set your Home Wallpaper and Lockscreen Wallpaper to something on sdcard before the first boot with JIT enabled, (and you can set them back after that: I have tried other HTC wallpapers except default). the workaround is found by klothius, thx .
if you encountered any trouble, and want it disabled, flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345214&stc=1&d=1276842897
for Gallery3D, download this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=338391&d=1275828997 , it could work with HTC Camera app in most HTC's ROM.
known issues and workaround:
keyboard light and some other led features : flash update plz
gps may need to boot with gps setting on, or you could try capychimp's gps files
official USB netsharing: flash update plz
if you find infinite logs about database queries which are generated by bt components, what I know is a reboot, or kill the bluetooth process
APN list shows nothing (unless your mobile operator is Chungwa in Taiwan), plz manually add your APN
* it could work under windows, but you must enable netshare in settings, and not in notification area. and you must disable netshare in settings if you want to use DiskDrive.
plz don't turn mobile network setting off when wifi is on. HTC's software will disable netsharing and uninstall the driver when you turn off mobile network.
** dev could set the button led timeout now.
just setprop sanpei.buttonlight.delay 20 (in sec) when phone is running, or set it in build.prop. plz report any issues.
*** I don't test the non-OC version myself yet, if you encountered any problem plz tell me, since it have lower frequency when you don't touch the phone.
and if the screen doesn't turn on during boot with OC version, plz press red button to close screen then press any other button to active the screen.
this issues happened once when first time I used this ROM after it was ported, though we don't have a kernel OCed that time. so I had said "first boot could be not very smooth" before. now I found that with higher CPU freq, it will happen more frequently.
so I won't support higher frequency at current. they are not so stable as I considered before. maybe you think that we could boot it with a lower frequency then use higher after boot. but I think if it have troubles when booting, it will have more troubles in heavily usage.
old changes:
some new commits to aosp kernel are included
qdsp driver changed to htc 2.6.29 version with some hacks
other little tweaks, not very important
for developers, many modules are included, you could check the modules folder. but I don't enable things like compcache by default. OC is not included, my phone is heated and I don't want to take a risk before I could have time to verify it carefully.
HTC Sync will work with with version 2.0.25, you can find it here (thank paultoan): http://www.htc.com/us/support/magic-rogers/downloads/ .
other pure ports:
you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642125 .
legend port is a bit slow, but it have more features: the new way of select text、copy、wiki、translate and dictionary, etc.eris port may be faster then this one, and has been tested for a long time, but with old looks.
could someone test for us, if the new kernel binary and boot.img (in update.zip) could work with legend/eris ports? then we could use it to upgrade these ports too.

ok，Download now，thanks，haha

Can You check what languages does it have?

i think both “繁体中文&english”，thats all

sanpei how about rc e100 ? does it work?

Welcome back Sanpei!

Great thanks to sanpei

thanks
Bug ：
Footprints cam Preview no work (photo OK after shooting)
edit---
First Preview rotating, right and bottom Flicker
Second Preview rotating

looking forward to a more stable version

Nice to see you back sanpei.
Would there be any point in trying to throw your new kernel build into one of the older roms (like the legend or eris)?

@Sanpei
are you using your own kernel? cause i think bluetooth drain battery issue still exists on this rom

you should turn off bt after using it. a component of bt will prevent the phone going to sleep when bt is turned on. I will try to find a solution when I have time.
I don't want to use HTC's kernel. because they have some other bugs too. fixing bugs in HTC's kernel is less valuable than our current way. and you know, maybe we should try android 2.2 later.
so we must stay at aosp kernel and adapt it to run both AOSP and HTC's ROM. and I think these jobs could be done. all the problems are just time, time and time.
btw, it's not "my own kernel", it is the aosp kernel, I just did some repairing for our purpose
and to others:
sorry, I couldn't do works which would take a lot of time at current. but I won't stop.

sanpei, there's an ongoing effort on porting the 2.6.33 kernel to the new radio, with some work already done. Maybe you could give some help to the people doing that job

we thank you all for your effort Sanpei
but by saying "turn off bluetooth after using it" makes me quit of trying all those custom roms with this particular kernel
bluetooth, its a feature i use all the time, every day, so i personally quit flashing until problem is solved
again, thank you for your great work here

.33 is a experimental project by Google, and our device won't get benefits from the increased digit. I will only work on kernels which will be chosen by Google and other manufacturers. and sadly, for some nonsense reason, I and some people couldn't work together.

i am really sorry for that. when I was fixing the battery drains, I don't know much about the right behaviors that bt features should have. so I just leave the prevent-sleep mechanism there because I think it is necessary.
and now I don't have enough time as before. but from you and others, I know what the right behaviors are. I will try to fix it in next release, for people who use bt heavily.

yes (we should make more things could be controlled by users in the long run), but not now.
we still have some issues that are important to other users, though personally, I don't use those features heavily.
my order:
1. lights in Sense ROM for other devices and battery drains when bt is on
2. android 2.2 or big improvements in android 2.2 (port them to daily usable ROM)
3. default USB netsharing, netsharing under windows and other features like this
4. other hardware supports and features like CPU freq control.
5. some hidden bugs in aosp sources or htc drivers we used (though they don't affect anything in most cases)
hope I could get enough time end of this month and next month, then I could repair/add one or two of them.

I only referenced the .33 kernel since that's what's used on cyanogen 5 series mod, and if it could be adapted to the new radio it would be a good way for us to have CM5 with the modifications cyanogen and otheres sometimes do to the kernel. Just my 2 cents

[Q] Is there a Android app like "Activator: on the iPhone

Hello,
I was wondering if there was an Android app like Activator on the iPhone? I have searched to the best of my abilities regarding this question but have not found a clear answer. The closest I have come to finding this answer was the app "LaunchKey." However, it does not seem to fit what I am looking for.
Reason for this search is due to my brief episode with the iPhone 3g and yes I know...(after finding out, android system is definitely better in terms of customizing and freedom) Thus during that time I came upon this app called "Activator", which is basically amazing. Now that I am back using the android system I realized the only I miss about the iPhone was that app.
So if anyone can help that would be great! Thanks!
BTW:
Background information on the iPhone jailbreak app "Activator." Basically you can launch any apps and system actions via gestures or hardware buttons. (such as long-press, short-press, double tap,etc...)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
and for gestures Im not entirely sure where I saw it or or what it was called but it does exist.

Reply
Thanks for the reply, however, I did stumble upon that app but it does not really support long press, short press, double tap and other various hardware buttons. As for gestures, I guess it does not matter as much as the hardware button configuration. Basically can a button have more functions than just one ie: home button-going to home. Thanks

I'm hoping that this app exists, as its one of the first apps I discovered years ago that was auto installed after jail breaking my previous iPhone. The app basically allows you customize a very large range of settings as shortcuts.
http://m.lifehacker.com/5899492/mak...hen-you-connect-or-disconnect-your-headphones

not strongly related but here's an app which I found very useful:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tora.mamma.swipestart

Thanks!
Thanks for your input I however have found the app "SwipePad" to be extremely useful, albeit not the original application I was looking for but it does the job Thank you again!

really!!! Android is amazing, I think is like a pocket pc, but sometimes I miss my old iPhone when I remember cydia tweeks like Activator. :silly:

OMG This is what I want to say my Android Friends Iphone tweaks are more easy way to go, im wondering How can I get Activator !!! >> since 4 years im iphone user and recently bought Note 2 (still I have Iphone) this entire conversation is what im looking for Please help to get a tweaks like that even I looked Cydia substrate for Android mm no use as of know....
Widgets are great but you still have to unlock the phone and look at the screen and press it. With activator you can, for example, press the power button of the phone twice and that will initiate the flash light... this is much better when you are in need of the flash light quickly...I wish android had something like that...

I believe since the time I have posted this question to the present, there have been alternatives as well as actual implementations to the hardware tweaks. Currently, there are baked in hardware tweaks in custom ROM such as CM10.1 (lock screen long press buttons do variety of different things) or software programs such as swipepad, or Trigger app (Both of which I use a lot)
My current ROM CM10.1 has the capability of accessing the flashlight from the longpress of home button while in lockscreen. Or even changing music volume and music track by volume press/longpress. This I consider the equivilent of what you were referring to.

**ATTENTION: any of the information I have provided are based on my own experience/knowledge/research. IT IS IMPERATIVE(important) that you do your own research to double check my information and advice. If ever in DOUBT, ask/research around. (or dont follow through is usually the safest option) YOU are ultimately responsible for what you do with YOUR device, if you don't believe this, please do not continue dabbling in this area.​​
You should be able to do that, to "unroot" your phone, but it depends on the device as well as the instructions that other developers/rooters have given. (meaning not 100% probable, you need to do more research)
*JUST NOTICED YOU SAID YOU ARE ROOTED
-To get Stock ROM, just download the appropriate ROM zip files and then flash it.
-if you want to get warranty back, you will have to follow instructions for your device on how to unroot. (if even possible)
Follow the instructions given on the cyanogenmod website, usually involves flashing and wiping. (sounds like you have a samsung phone )
Based on question 3 statement, I believe you have to do MORE research. (as this is an extremely basic idea of rooting, unless of course I misread or the question was mistyped) Here is where you can start:CM about
Again, you have to do MORE research yourself, google is your friend for that. There is no one size fits all unrooting method.
Cyanogenmod (also known as CM) has an software release life cycle. (not counting the M snapshot nor experiments) You have Stable>Nightly> Release Candidates(RC).
Taken from this Forum
bassmadrigal:
Stable is after all the features desired by the CM devs have been put in and the code has been tested. Snapshots (M builds) are builds done roughly once a month that has had some testing to make sure things are mostly working and released to the public. These are the first builds that allow official bug reports on the project manager site, https://jira.cyanogenmod.org. Nightlies are automated builds that are built, well, every night. There is no human interaction with these and they are largely there just to see if the code added throughout the day will compile. As far as the devs are concerned, there are no bad builds with the nightlies, because if it doesn't build, that is news to let them know that something is screwed up in the code. They don't accept any bug reports on these builds.
Generally, the nightly builds, while extremely experimental and considered bleeding-edge, tend to be relatively stable and mostly bug-free. Many people use the nightlies as their so-called daily-driver, meaning that any bugs that they may have aren't so severe that they want to switch to a different version. For my Nexus 4, as soon as I got it I switched to a nightly build and haven't had any bugs pop up.
Also, all builds are full builds, so if you switch to a nightly, you aren't required to flash every single nightly. You can do it as you see fit. I've been known sometimes to flash a build every day, but then I've gone a month in between updating. Just grab the latest version you want to flash and flash that one.

[ROM][14-02-13][Flinny] Andromadus - AOSP4.2.2[9]

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

Build 5 was pretty stable, interested to see what has changed.
Tapatalked from Desire S running Andromadus

Build 5 was first build i used of AOSP 4.2 and it was fantatic experience, i never expected 4.2 to work so flawlessly on desire s so fast after release. And to be honest i did not see many bugs.
So i flashed build 6 and i was not disapointed, as you said you will release only stable and advanced releases and it was the point with 4.2 build6.
It would be nice to see official changelog, but i have noticed some nice little resize job done and few small glitches fixed.
I just found one thing i dont know how to fix. On android keyboard swype Lithuanian dictionary doesnt work. It is not in official list until i refresh it and then it pops up and i install it ( it worked well with build 5) and with build 6 it just doesnt work, and when i return to dictionary list there is no Lithuanian dictionary again .

Sensors are not working properly. When i make a call, screen turns off even when i don't block the sensors and it stays that way till the time call is going
Sorry man posted it in wrong thread. Its for andromadus cm 10.1 but do look into the matter as its really is irritating

That's just the way it is for 4.2, Google made it that way.

Yeah, that is for devices with On Screen buttons (Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 4/7/10). For those, the buttons are replaced with a dotted circle on the lockscreen, swiping up from which opens Google Now. Since AOSP doesn't officially support any device without hardware buttons, Google probably thought that it would be best to remove the option from the lockscreen, since swiping from the buttons opens that anyways

Trouble with bluetooth
Hi,
Thanks for your work on this rom!
I would like to report an issue with the Bluetooth functionality in this (and earlier) versions of this rom. In my circumstance it doesn't produce an error of crash.
For example. My phone is connected with a handsfree carkit (parrot) and when entering the car it recognizes the phone, asks for pin code and 'gets connected'. The problem is that the phone is not visible (as usual) on the handsfree device and the overall functionality does not work.
If I can be of any assistance in this I'll gladly be of help.
Thanks for your work!

Well Google switched the bluetooth plugin in 4.2 from bluez to bluedroid. It has been causing issues across devices, even Nexus 7 has issues. As Flinny said we can't do much unless someone upstream fixes it.

Flinny, almost everything works great.
Issues I found (AOSP build 6):
- laggy Camera animations (not very important, maybe it cannot be better),
- high Android OS battery usage (battery really lasts less),
- dictionaries other than English doesn't work with swype keyboard feature,
- some people wrote about bluetooth audio issues.
ROM is very smooth, hope it will be smooth in next builds. Great work!

camera animations do lag sometimes and some pictures you take tend to not show up in gallery after you have taken them.
As for battery all i can say is :highfive: battery is almost same in all 4.0/4.1/ 4.2 roms AND it is not at all bad here. I managed to get from full charge(100%) to 81% in 30 hours. I doubt many roms can do something like this in low-med usage.
Other then that this rom is my personal favorite until someone release 4.2 rom with better theme or perfomance.
The only thing i lack in here is conservative cpu governor and maybe little undervoltage.

Flinny, almost everything works great.
Issues I found (AOSP build 6):
- laggy Camera animations (not very important, maybe it cannot be better),
- high Android OS battery usage (battery really lasts less),

Who can tell me how can I put GPS shortcut on quick setting ??I have everything I need except GPS shortcut...

Anyone else have an issue where Calendar just wont sync at all to any Google account? I don't have the options to sync calendars under any of the google accounts I've set up on the device. Tried reflashing, clearing app data etc.
Apart from that, great rom. Super nice battery life.

Clean or dirty install?
By dirty install remove Google accound(s) and then add your accound(s) again.
Worked for me!

For JB4.2 based roms (CM10.1 and AOSP4.2)
if you use a BT headset and are having problems with the mic give this a try.
download the following file.
http://andromadus.flinny.org/libbt-vendor.zip
extract it
Push it to your phone with adb - from the command line
adb remount
adb push libbt-vendor.so /system/vendor/lib
adb reboot
try it now.
Give it a try again and tell me if it all works... If all goes to plan new builds soon

Nice thread, maybe you can list what's available (making difference between A700 & A510) splitting by 2 categories : Acer ROM based, AOSP ROM based
Cheers

new user here, so what's the best ROM for A700s? alot of people seem to be on the iconian but it seems the developer is gone, so I guess it should be the cm10.1 version by pawitp?
don't plan to do alot of gaming on it, mainly for magazine reading & web browsing since i've amassed a whole lot of unread zinio magazines which I've subscribed using the free codes they've been generously giving me over the last year.

Not sure what happened to vorbeth and iconian. Most of the roms have been around for awhile, and not a lot of issues.
pawitp has the CM which gets updates.
There,s a rootbox version, and Iconian. Iconian runs Acer build.
As with running Acer builds, we're dependant on Acer to push updates, which unfortunately doesn't happen often. However, in my opinion, there's less incompatibility issues with games. Just my opinion. This is why you don't see a lot of updates on the roms. Example, I'll push my first update since release. Audio improvements for folks that appreciate good audio. A little theming, and custom Acer ring.
I'd say flash them all, and see what works best for you. You usually know within a day or so, if you like the rom.

You are right, I flashed them all. Somehow stock is faster than CM & Iconian but your ROM is the best Thanks

I flashed CM10.1.3 RC2 to my A700. Has been working well and I really enjoy the new features I gained coming from stock. Most importantly for me CM gave me a higher touch sensitivity which drastically improved my user experience and was the main reason I switched to CM. It can have some lag tho.
I was thinking about flashing the kiteman V4.1 kernel to see if it helps with the lag, but I need to verify if the "Very High" touch sensitivity option will still be available. If anyone can advise it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I was thinking about flashing the latest Evil Alex ROM because I have read good reviews. Again, most importantly I need to verify whether touch sensitivity will be increased comparable to CM10.1. Perhaps Moscow Desire or boringest you can inform me?

I would say pawtips' CM 10.2 worked best for me so far. The performance is great and feels far less sluggish than stock, which I had before. Also not having all the branding stuff from Acer also improved the device a lot

hi thanks for acer A701 CM 3G enabled ROM..
first i'm installed your rom, mrzottel 10.2 CM Build1 before CM 11 3G enabled.. work great on my acerA701..
then install with pawitp CM 11 after 3G enabled,
my problem after install CM 11..
sometimes my Acer A701 can not wake up from sleep by power button, it must be hardreset with power button.
just like android black screen of death syndrome
Not really sure, but this problem happen after receive automatic update from play store.. downloading apps never finish then A701 frozen when screen off.
(i'm not install fresh apps from playstore, just restore some user apps+data from titanium backup. is it problem?)
dont know what to do. three time or more, try reinstall CM11 rom and gapps, wipe data from CWM 6.0.4.4 and do factory reset
but problem still there..
now i'm back with Build1 atm
Edit:
my acer A701 screen off problem, after install CM 11 with ROM
cm-11-20140112-UNOFFICIAL-3G-a700.zip
MD5-SUM : 26FD6B17954AFE7852C5755871EC4964
today try reinstall ROM with latest Build CM 11 for A700/A701 3G from pawitp thread

i just do some experiment,
replace CM 11 /system/bin/rild with CM 10.2 rild
adding build.prop line with:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhuawei-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyUSB2
one hours trying A701 playing rock music album from Apollo, check on off powerbutton every
5minutes ,
Screen-off problem not occurs yet
but another problem with 3G
*A701 can see network, but 3G Data not connected (3G icon signal bar full)
*set DNS > No network DNS: blank , ip : blank
*wifi works fine
hope someone check CM11 rild file for us A701 users

You should ask @pawitp

Hey A700 users. I'm helping a friend and offered to patch up his A700 from what appears to be stock Android 4.1.1 Build Acer_AV051_A700_1.052.00_PA_CUS1. This does not appear to be the 3G model. I don't see anything in the ROM for mobile networks, and what appears to be the SIM slot next to Micro SD looks like it has a glued in plastic tab in it, not user removable without a bit of force.
So, looks like I need to unlock bootloader, install TWRP/CWM, and choose a ROM which is where my question is aimed. I'm wanting to choose a ROM that is mostly up to date, but also does not have any hardware issues. It appears that CM 12.1 has issues with HDMI which I would like to avoid.
I'm looking for in priority:
1) All hardware working (no workarounds, or other things I need to add as a "if this happens go here and do that" kind of stuff)
2) Stable
3) Up to date.
It appears a lot of ROMs are not seeing much activity which is understandable due to the age of the tablet. I'm keen to just flash this once onto something that is a good daily driver and be done.
After some additional digging I'm thinking about CM11: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_a700
It's strait forward, I know CM well enough....

I still have my old A510 wall mounted for home automation on CM11 4.4.4 . But the problem is that I can not install newer applications. Any way to get newer version of android on it?

FYI, I just installed our last Android 6 build (https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-6.0/picasso2/) to my A700 that I'm giving to a relative, as I believe it is rather stable. It's the last stable Android version for this device (Android 7+ has various graphics issues), and it uses kernel 3.4. It can be used with an up-to-date TWRP, such as: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a51x-a70x-aka-picasso-2-recovery-twrp-3-1-1-0.2678284/.
I'm sure there was a thread for it here, but I just can't find it now...

I upgraded my A700 from latest official CM11 to above mentioned unlegacy build. Unfortunately since then I'm experiencing massive audio distortion so that I had to revert back. Is there anything I missed or anyone with same experience?

I think you should post this on the front page. This is the most up to date rom i can see in the forum. I have installed and its like i have a new device. But your post is hidden away here and i came across is by accident.

THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. If you loose your data, brick your device, any other damage or anything else happens (e.g. your cat eats your dog), it is YOUR PROBLEM and YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Your device warranty is most probably void after installing this.
To avoid any confusion let me explain my position. I still have a felling that some people don’t understand this. I didn’t create this, I only fixed some problems (mostly closely related to i9305 device) and built it. It is a big difference, similar to buying versus building a house. Buying a house is not a simple thing (at least in my country) and you’d probably need to do some changes and repairs before you can start living in it. But building a house is something completely different and much more difficult. The work I’ve done on these CM builds is more like buying a house. The see the list of people who "built the house" go into Settings on your phone, section About phone and then Contributors. It is a really long list. Thanks to all of them
Also, please, keep in mind, that I am only sharing results of my hobby.
Now, please, proceed to the this post for the build (I’ll probably change this to more traditional OP after the code stabilizes, but now I’d like to keep track of history, instead permanent rewriting the OP.)
Thanks @nels83 for several commits.
Sometimes it takes me a while to publish new build. But there are also other builds from @mad89 - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ohj9exsQJMSU84MGxkbFdnYUk

OK, so here is the first taste (which I know about) of CM 14 (Android 7 Nougat) for Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE - i9305. Before You even think about installing it on your device, please, keep in mind the warning from OP. Consider the build experimental - AFAIK CM 14 has not been even officially released yet. Be prepared to restore your current system. You have been warned and you can download here:
cm-14.0-20160930-UNOFFICIAL-i9305.zip
Please expect bugs.
Basically all hw is working (I didn’t do any thorough testing, I’ve just checked the basic functionality):
- RIL - data (2G, 3G, LTE), in/out calls, I didn’t check SMS
- wifi
- bluetooth
- GPS (with one minor glitch - see notes bellow)
- camera (I can take photos, but there is some problem with video recording) and flash light
- probably all the sensors (accelerometer, magnetic field, orientation, pressure, light, proximity, etc.) I haven’t checked them one by one, but also haven’t noticed any sensor functionality missing
- NFC
Notes, problems, etc.
- mobile data probably won’t work after first boot, reboot fixes it
- as mentioned above, there is one GPS glitch - I can get the fix, no problem with that, but the list of satellites (e.g. in SatStat) contains sometimes SBAS satellites. This is probably some software error (there is quite big change in gps code) or I’ve found hidden hw functionality (I don’t think so, I am not sure if I can even receive signal from these satellites in my area).
- I can’t access developer setting menu
- there was a bug in the camera code, which was also in cm 13. This bug caused crashes when the preview started, I don’t understand how the camera can work in cm13...
- the recovery image is too big to fit into recovery partition
- selinux is permissive
- I’ve finally fixed the annoying bug in kernel, which caused kernel panic (and phone reboot) when there was missing camera firmware. Beside thisi, the firmware is now loaded from system partition
- there are probably many other bugs, the development is still in progress
Code changes:
All the code changes I did to make this work are in attached diff file (code.diff) and this repo. Many of them are quick & dirty fixes (just to make it work). I am planing to do it properly and upload on github. There is also attached roomservice.xml, which I*used and list of commits and some screenshots.

OMG WHAT RIL WORKS
YOU ARE A LEGEND
i'll help to test in 2 weeks time, exams now. Just ended school and its 9pm whew
(even i9300 hasn't gotten it yet)
btw1: why isnt your thread xda:db yet
btw2: since a kernel takes 6 minutes to build i'm making one right now just for fun to see if it works. will upload later lol. at the same time start backing up stuff slowly.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767098439
for those who are already testing this rom to try. I have not tested it myself, please back up system beforehand.

Hey, so good to see you here with such good news about your CM14 alpha. Keep up the good work and thanks a lot to spend your free time with this hobby.
When I'll have free time, be sure I'll test your builds and report.

Awesome. Never expect to keep this phone this long when I bought it 2012 and now 7.0 :laugh:

RIL works before i9300... This must be magic, the least buggy build you can publicly get for the i9300 is a build where nothing works, not even WiFi, but here RIL works too, and WiFi, amazing work :good:

What is this sorcery? How in GOD's name did you achieve this feat? My internet was down for ~30 minutes and this is what I see first thing. HOW? I swear I will have to donate some money to you @p.a.n because reasons. If you can PM me some info as to how i can donate some money, I'll be more than willing to.

Hi everyone,
thanks for the support (@西村大一 thanks for offering the donation, I appreciate it, but I`d like to keep money out of this).
There is no magic involved, Just good old plain debugging and RIL wasn`t the most difficult one. The fix for camera, even if it looks simple, was more difficult. I was overlooking the solution for long time, maybe because the code works in cm13 (this I consider magic).
@limjh16 what do you expect from building the kernel? There some important fixes there, but it doesn`t make much sense without the rest.
Maybe some of my fixes may help i9300 porting. It would make sense (e.g. I suppose the kernel version is at least similar, so finit_module syscall has to be changed back to init_module).

Thanks Pan for your work! I will try it. ?

Okay, I respect your decision. One bug to report is external SD card. It doesn't get mounted in fstab, but it gets detected as dev/block/platforms3c-sdhci.2 (if that is the sdcard) without any problems. I'll look into the fstab and add some mount point for sdcard and see if i can make it to work.
Dev settings menu is multiple tap on build number and works without any issue, WiFi works, RIL works, haven't tested the camera, calls work, everything is fine and dandy. Once the SDcard problem is fixed, it is good for daily driving needs.
The GPS 'Glitch' you talk about is not a glitch per say. It is supposed to help with GPS somehow (see this wikipedia article to feed your brain information). And as a little tip, after the first boot, just reboot once to get 3G/LTE/Whatever if you're not near WiFi. Smooth runner, daily driver candidate.

7.0 ARM yes, Pico or Nano are recommended

Very nice work p.a.n. It's already mostly working and very smooth.
Yeah i can confirm, external SD card is not avialable in system. I found another one too, com.android.phone process is crashing when entering dialer/settings/ call settings/call barring.
Pardon my nebulous language without logcats but I noticed one thing about that camera crashes. For me, it's often happening when i try to launch app with camera access and there is another one(or more) in recents menu which had accessed camera. Clearing all apps in recents can bring back access to camera but sometimes only reboot can help, hard to reproduce exactly same scenario. Fast opening and switching beetween diffrent apps with access to camera preview (eg cm cam, googlecam, camerazoom, instagram, fb messanger) can quicly cause these crashes too. Maybe there is some kind of dependency/lock / timming or ram management issue which causes that. Thanks again for great work.

I confirm SD card is mor available. SMS is working, GPS also.
Is not possible to setup weather source for clock widget.
Is not possible to change battery icon
Thanks.

If you want a brick then go ahead. Otherwise get the i9305.
