[ROM]Kang_Clam(KANG) CM7 to AOSP revert {2.3.7}

First and foremost...Anything you read or flash from here I am not responsible for. If your kitten dies tomorrow or your phone eats your face in your sleep it is not my problem. You should have fed them better. If your phone adjusts itself to paperweight mode, well it was a long time coming for that rock to give up. It is not my fault. You shouldn't have dug the root out from under that rock.
I named this project Kang Clam, simply because to me it is a learning experience so everything is just opening up to me. A clam opens slowly in unfamiliar territory and that is the same as what is going for me. I am still trying to figure it out.
I am by no means a developer. This is just a project I started as a learning experience. The main reason I started this is because there is no way to make an AOSP rom off of the OTA files we where given from LG and NVIDIA. So I decided for a learning curve to work from known working CM7.2 files back to AOSP.
Updates will not be fast nor steady, because like I said I am still learning. I will continue to better the rom but at my own pace. Accept that or do not flash it and do not ***** if there is a problem. BUT if you do find a problem I do not mention please report it so I can trouble shoot it.
So, I decided to make a project similar to faux's but I don't know much. So I decided to reverse engineer cm7 code to revert it to AOSP. Progress will be slow because I am doing this for the simple fact of learning. But, what I have done so far is really stable so I decided to release it.
I will not accept requests simply because what i am doing is for my benefit and to learn. So basically this is my rom for me to update as I will. My sole intentions is to revert cm7 code back to aosp or as close as i can get it. The only reason I am releasing it is because, I myself like AOSP and everything that comes with it. And because I want to learn the just of what it takes to make it work. I do realize that most of what it takes to work comes with patches from Code Aurora Forums and numerous other places. And will remove most CM functions.
But, regardless this is my own personal project to revert things back to AOSP. I will work off of the same base as I have been using, because everything is working. If something gets broken then I will imply the patches necessary to fix it.
I fully intend to remove alot of cm7 functions. Including theme chooser, cm settings and many other cm7 features. Simply because i am learning and want to see if i can make it work without all that. I want to revert cm7 to AOSP so that is what I push towards, if it gets removed and you dont like it then flash an old version or flash cm7!
This does not include ANY google apps so you must flash the latest version of google apps the same as you would do with any CyanogenMod ROM!
But as of right now most of all of the cm7 features are still working.
What I have done so far:
Reverted System UI to AOSP
Reverted MOST apps to AOSP
Added Fugu Tweaks 4.0
Added some build.prop and init.d tweaks
Incorporated Morfic's latest and greatest T15 kernel
And a few other framework and system tweaks and reverts. I am no pro so bare with me. Updates will be slow, if you dont like it then move on to another rom...
Installation Instructions:
1.) Reboot into CWM Recovery
2.) Wipe data/factory reset
3.) Go to advanced>Wipe dalvik cache
4.) Go to mounts and format /system
5.) Install the desired ROM
6.) Reboot to enable WiFi
7.) Reboot to recovery and install gapps.
THERE IS NO GOOGLE APPS INSTALLED IN THIS ROM YOU MUST INSTALL GAPPS LIKE ANY CM7 [email protected]
There is add-ons. That I will be posting as well, for those who may want them. If I revert, I will also try to make an add on package to make things work, if I cant then oh well. Everything comes as is.
Thanks and credits to:
Morfic for his amazing kernel
Romanbb and Whitehawkx for everything I have learned and that they have helped me with in my times of distress
Faux123 for his original work of this project. I use it as a base.
The entire CyanogenMod team for their work

I will post a flashable of the ics transition animations in the morning. As well as the systemui reverts. The aosp systemui panel that krylon360 posted WILL work with this, BUT if you connect usb it WILL force close systemui. Im trying to figure out why still....its a known issue. Like i said i will eventually make reverts....

I had wondered about that myself. Since i do not get 3g anywheres on any rom for my g2x. Only 4g thats still super slow (same speeds as using edge). Could be my area because their signal sucks around here. It seems like it treats all hspa as 4g icon wise. But not sure. I will look into more in the morning.

I personally think this ROM is much better than Eagleblood (HDMI works fine so far). However, cache partition should increase from 50MB to 100MB to avoid frustration (I got "insufficient storage" error when I tried to install 3 Angry Birds plus Opera Mobile and I have to use Root Explorer to delete these files there). Other than that, it works pretty well.

Awesome ROM. Found one bug. In CyanogenMod Settings, Interface Status bar tweeks doesn't work. Even after you make changes like battery percentage, it doesnt save the changes.

No. I don't believe in doing a low level format every flash. Particularly when you flash as often as me. After a reboot everything has been running well.

How would you compare AOSP with CSM version
Hey everyone,
Just curious how you'd compare the performance and battery life between the AOSP and CSM (I'm assuming CM9) Eaglesblood version?
I'm using the CSM version build 3 right now and I love it. However, it's a little bit buggy here and there (e.g., a few random restarts), and after a few days of usage is a little laggy. Has anyone compared performance between the two?
Also, my battery life has dropped significantly from the 2.3.7 Eaglesblood version I formerly had on my G2x, and I'm wondering if it's worth flashing the AOSP version instead of the CSM to regain it.
And since the AOSP version is based on stock ICS, is it still as customizable as the CSM version?
Thanks a lot guys...sorry if these are newbish questions, but I'm still relatively a newb...I'm trying to learn though, and I love the work you developers work hard to produce!

You should flash it. You won't be dissapointed.

Do any of you guys have the problem of auto-brightness not working on EB ICS AOSP? Mine seems to just go straight to 100% when I put it on auto. Any help would be appreciated

Partially true... by stock flash its at 100%. Dont use that Auto Brightness slider... that thing is buggy with the proximity/photo sensor hardware on p999 especially with ics since theres all kinds of additional gamma/flicker settings.
=>Instead, use the built-in Notification Drawer Power Widget and set your buttons to include Brightness. At the very bottom of that same list select the Brightness Modes to 25/50/75/100. Now when you tap the brightness widget it will cycle through those stages and adjust the screen + homekeys. 'Dim' is ok for pitch black bedtime stories... but itll leave you thinking your phone is OFF with any kind of sunlight nearby.

Depends on what you do with your phone. The 2.3.7 is off CM9 source. Battery life is fine for me for EB's AOSP. I actually think this runs quicker than the other ICS roms I've tried by far, but many of the features don't work. If you depend on things like camcorder and a good camera, or dislike the random FC, switch to 2.3.7 and probably wait for Build 2. I can get ~30 hours of light use before a charge, and something like half that for medium usage. But my battery's been funky the day I got it.
The only qualm I have is that my battery readings seem to fluctuate up and down randomly and charging %s are generally not correct in comparison to the Weapon G2x nandroid I switch back and forth from.
Opera Mobil, as I depend on sometimes, doesn't work, but it's a solid ROM thus far for DD. But I don't do much with it.

Its a script that when installed in CWM will low level format your phone in prep for a new rom. There is a thread in the Developer section.

two issues
I've been running this ROM since Sunday. Things I've noticed are..
...Phone reboots during calls when battery gets to about 30%
...Problems switching back to 4g after leaving WiFi area
...i've had several apps that crash or take long time to open up. But not a major issue compared to the 1st two issues.

everything else I agree, ICS roms are too play with for a couple days until you really need the phone!

Lol, you got me! Don't know how I typoed so badly. Sorry 2.3.7 is indeed CM7. I was thinking ICS when typing as I was flashing EB's ICS-AOSP.

[Req] HTC Sense 4.0 Launcher

Probably a longshot.. but maybe we could get a heavy themed Rosie 3.5 or maybe.. the sense 4.0 Rosie?
I'm using a Beta 3.5, already got the clock, transparent status bar but it would be nice to have a themed app drawer and dock.
Out of curiosity, is it possible to use the sense 4.0 Rosie on the 3.5? I'm guessing no because of the ics mix, but it would be awesome.

There isn't exactly a super heavy themed Rosie. But with the new Sense 3.5 ROM, Clutch, it has the sense 4.0 bottom bar which is rather nice and it has the sense 4.0 drop down notification bar.

+1 on this launcher port please. the sense 4.0/ICS launcher looks sweet.
The one in clutch is basically just the old rosie but nice looking. It only has the 3 functions and is remappable.
Ive been using the Xperia launcher and its great but the customization is lacking. All it really needs is custom app icons

It's what I'm sporting, there's plenty of Themed sense 4.0 for certain launchers.. but there not what makes sense a sense.
If its even possible, maybe a custom ICS Launcher for ICS with some sense mixed? If I knew about roms and apks and dev tools I'd definitely dip my hands in this.
At first I didn't really care for sense 4.0 but after I got to looking at the UI, it really is a nice piece of work. Really hope something can give us a close experience.

Also regarding the launcher. As it's from Sense 4.0 which is ICS only I'd expect you can only run it on sense 4.0. Possibly 3.6 which is also ICS.

I didn't run incubus26j's roms but I have heard his roms were pretty top notch.
I have talked to wildstang on a few occasions although I did not know him like some did but he made some pretty sick roms I did use.
Jermaine I didn't know, I believe he helped out in the ext4 mod correct?
Lhtfp69 I did not know.
I kinda came in a little late but I got to know some devs.
And I gotta say since a lot are now gone, you kinda miss them a lot because there quality roms.
Yeah, I tried to install a few 4.0 apks and its a no go. The ics bind brings up the there is a problem parsing the package.

I've done some theming for my own ROMS and a heavily themed sense 3.0 or 3.5 is no problem, but sense 3.0 does not support the customization that you want, it's htc's fault lol.

What do you mean? If you're taking about customizing the Rosie so that it looks like Sense 4.0, it's definitely possible. You just have to use the m10 editor since you can't change the pictures by conventional means.

Well I'm thinking the launcher would have to be made from scratch, similar to Phoenix launcher.

I'm getting 3G drops as well though they're not frequent. I'll see if there's anything I can do about it. I'm using this radio: 2.15.00.11.19

Are you getting wifi drops though? Don't use 3G at all unless it unintentional, they screwed people with the no unlimited data honestly, sometimes 3G works better then my wifi.
If it's just 3G drops then I'll definitely check it out, normally on your anthem, cm rom and various special roms I never get wifi drops or 3g.
Wonder why.. Think maybe something is happening to my DInc Wifi driver after being on pretty much for a year and a half? I hardly ever shut off my device unless I have to.

ICS roms are still a work in progress but you're more than welcome to try some of the beta and pre-beta releases that are out there. Also, strapped has posted a guide to using boot manager if you want to try a couple different ones out on the fly. You'll have to read through his thread to see which ones are confirmed to work...
Personally i've been running Supreme Sense since rooting, although i just got a tester shift and will be flashing a few other roms soon. It's kinda pick what you prefer ...

Also, strapped has posted a guide to using boot manager if you want to try a couple different ones out on the fly. You'll have to read through his thread to see which ones are confirmed to work...
Personally i've been running Supreme Sense since rooting, although i just got a tester shift and will be flashing a few other roms soon. It's kinda pick what you prefer ...

I'm a minimalist, so I love AOSP (ics now, gb doesnt cut it for me anymore lol), and CM ROMS.
Never really cared for sense roms, except for sense 4.
But yeah, right now Im using Deck's CM9 build, and loving it.

Well sixxt9 said i had some instructions on how to use boot manager, and i have also laid out some known ROMS to work with that app, and you could flash multiple ROMS to your sdcard to try them. Its a sticky in the theme and app section. And i posted it so users like you could try other ROMS on the fly.
There is also the nandroid approach where you just make a nand and start flashing, if you dont like any ROM you have chosen then just restore the backup and your right back to whre you started.
Most users needs are different so what works for one or whats stable for one might not be stable for someone else.

newSENSE or Supreme Sense of you want a Sense ROM, I would go with UKE if you want an AOSP, ICS is still a work in progress. If you can live without Bluetooth and MMS then Deck's ICS ROM is great, if not go with one of the others off you haven't tried them. It's all about your preferences and what you want, so my suggestion is to try them all.

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to this community for providing excellent support and tweaking all updates. You guys all are amazing at what you do.
Now, my Android is currently hosting: Kushdeck's ics-deck-shift, I am running pb21, not the most recent rendition:
[ROM][ICS][4.0.3][3-19-12][WIP] ics-deck-shift [pre-beta4]
I also run it with Sparksco's Kernel update and all of the patches made to quasi-fix bluetooth and the FC on the Camcorder.
I'm not running the most recent as I found it was a bit more buggy than I needed as I'd like stability over coolness.
ThoughICS is pretty damn cool already (actually makes me proud to be a droid over an iPhone).
The camcorder still does not work, but you can use a 3rd party application. I generally will use Ustream in recording and 4g does not work, but where I am at it is negligible. Also running in SCARY mode from the Scary Ghoul added input with Sparksco, it does not seem to work, so I leave it on Smartass. There are a few other minor bugs with the power button's and an occasional blackout, but I love Ice Cream Sandwich so much I can bare with it until these things are fixed.
If I were to use any other mod, I'd stick with CM7 with Scary Ghoul Kernel and install the recent gapps. Then use your choice of Launcher (Last I was using was an ice cream knockoff...with LauncherPro.
GO Launcher is pretty cool, but it has some lagging issues.
Thanks everyone!!!

Awesome thanks for the input! A note on scary governor what do you mean by it doesn't work? Scary governor runs in conjunction with the smartass governor and I had to use a different smartass governor than what was in the older cm7 based kernel.

Well, i'ts interesting. Every time I run it in Scary mode, the phone will lag out and words will disappear, and does not seem to run so smoothly as it used to in CM7. But when I run it as Smartass, it seems to work fine and run seemlessly on Kushdeck's CM9.

Aw yeah I did notice the graphical glitches in decks roms. I think it's more of a ROM issue than anything because I'm running the miui ics right now and I don't have that issue anymore. Running miui until aokp drops.

Nexus 5; Gingerbread - Hear me out

Has someone made a GB ROM for the Nexus 5? I bet it would be wicked fast and smooth compared to other ROMs with higher Android versions. Is there anything that holds it back from getting GB?

This is serious. I miss the old GB days. Maybe GB is a stretch. What about ICS?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

are you saying that you are not satisfied with nexus 5 kitkat performance?

Kitkat is much more optimized than ICS. ICS was a mess. GB was good but it would be a waste of time and effort to get it and no one will do it probably

Yeah! I miss my apps I used on a daily basis (example: floating browser) that just doesn't work anymore on KitKat.

Oddly, half the fun of Android is searching and finding even more cool apps to compensate for lazy dev supported go-to's. Besides, most folks are MONTHS away from KitKat, you're special!

GB? ICS? What a waste of time. Kit Kat is the best thing that has happened to android. Everything is buttery smooth, what more could you ask for? I mean really, I'm unlocked/rooted using Franco kernel under clocked to 1.5 and everything is still butter.

KitKat is so optimized now...
If somebody made a GB rom, we'd lose;
- NFC capability
- Wireless Printing capability
- OpenGL ES 3.0 support
- CRT off animation
- ChromeCast support
- Group Messaging
- Notification quick controls (on pulldown bar.)
- Google Wallet
- USB audio
- Android Beam
- Soft Buttons
- Data Usage tracker
- Chrome support
- Hardware acceleration of the UI
- WiFi Direct
- 1080p resolution recording via camcorder
- And lots more, but these are pretty much the highlights.
If anything, someone can make a Gingerbread Theme, but the effort and time to go back that far would be redundant.

And that pretty much sums up the thread. Lol. You could always learn to build from source / port and do it yourself, OP!

That was a Gnex-specific feature. There are plenty of ICS phones with a ton of shutter lag. And no, an ICS backport is in no way necessary for this phone. ICS is KitKat minus a bunch of features and optimization. Why not just dial it all the way back to Eclair and have some really good times?

In all seriousness: OP, what the heck are you smoking? KK is smooth as it is. GB would just not even look right, feel right, behave right.
