Fast, stable (should be) ROM with the best from sense but without the cluttering.
I was looking for some time for ROM which will have the best features from HTC but without the unneeded stuff.
After some searching i found great ROM Psychosis but, it not updated for quite some time. So, based on Psychosis ROM (which based on LeeDroid 2.2a) i want to present you my first work, which might be buggy(nah, just kidding), might have (or not have) some apps but, it works already, just not polished visually, working on it now
This rom was built in simplicity and speed in mind so,
Featuring:
Kernel 2.6.32.24 by Ziggy471 OC 1190Mhz/UV/UVC/HAVS/BFS
Unlock by trackball + menu
ADWLauncher 1.2.0
HTC Radio
HTC Dialer
HTC Contacts
HTC Sync with FB/Twitter/Gmail
HTC FriendStream
Music Mod
IME Mod
AdFree
SU
RootExplorer
Gmail 2.3
Youtube 2.0.26
Criticism, ideas, what to add are welcome.
The version is 0.1. There is some stuff to do which i just can't yet find out how to do it. But this is related exclusively to interface beauty
Known bugs:
afaik none
If you find a bug please report it in red color.
Installation:

he wanted something more or less like that. Thank you I am going to try
What about FM Radio and Sense's version of copy&paste? Are they present?
Both radio and copy/paste present
How bout the calendar, clock widget and pepole widget?
Calendar is there but widgets were removed
Clock widget switched to WFClock widget which looks the same
Hi,
Thanks for your effort. A few concerns though - some people had problems with 1190MHz during boot. Does the kernel include the fix to prevent this? Also, what's the default governor? Is it running from 245-998 MHz by default?

It runing 245 - 1190 by default with interactive governor + scaling by screenstate.
If ppl will report about problems with that speed i'll revert it to defaults. But yet i found out that this specific kernel works flawless on such speed
Give it a try

downloading now. will flash it once i'm done with work. cheers.
as expected i'm stuck at the cyanogenmod bootanim
i did full wipe. i guess you need to include snq-'s bootfix so that the frequency doesn't jump to 1190MHz during boot. also you may wanna lower the default max frequency to 1152MHz or lower. just a suggestion.
Interesting, i checked on 4 Desire phones and had no problems.
Is it bootlooping? If it is can u post logcat?
If it doesn't than i think you should wait a little longer, it takes about 10minutes for the first boot.
Also i will change few things in upcoming version to make the first boot a little faster

it's not bootlooping. it just stuck there on the bootanim. i think i've waited for 8-9hours cause i fell asleep while waiting for it to boot up lol. and when i woke up it was still at the cyanogenmod bootanim.
why don't you mod LeeDroid 2.2e instead of using Psychosis? just curious.
Can u provide logcat?
Also im switching to LeeDroid for next versions

here's the logcat. now it's bootlooping a few times on the cyanogen bootanimation, then it will reboot from splash screen. it keeps repeating in that pattern.
That is not kernel/cpu issue, the trouble is in my server which became DDoSed after i posted url for the rom here -.- Tried to DL it from my server and flash and got same error.
Anyway new version will come in few days and will host it on dropbox ^_^
I originally released this rom on 2fastforums.com (http://2fastroms.com/showthread.php?5435-WIP-18-Dec-2012-CM7-Kernel-CM-msm7x30) and now feel it is ready for release on XDA. (Site is currently down for unknown reasons)

GPS problem
How to fix the GPS ?
It won't turn on , I mean GPS icon is not shown in the notifications bar and it searches for the satellites forever .
I use 20130121 version of this mod and gsm mode .

Thank you so much, this is the best rom for this phone (the only working cyanogen). I am happy to report that after a few weeks use it has across the board improved my phones responsiveness, battery life, and usability. However... I have one problem. I live in Alaska and have GCI as a carrier... when I alter my cdma apn info, everything works up to the point I want to change my MCC and MNC... it's defaulting to 310 and 012 respectively. When I leave those values alone it saves the apn... when I alter them, the apn entry disappears! How can I fix this? I I need it to be 311 and 370 but can't get it to save my apn.
If this never works, I don't care, I wil continue using this rom without mobile internet or mms downloads... it's just that good.

APN backup and restore app worked for me on US Cellular (backup apn from stock install, then restore to CM7), though I had to switch to GoSMS as a messaging app for MMS to send properly (stock app would receive but not send MMS - SMS worked normally in both). I had no success manually entering the apn info - didn't seem to have any effect when I tried.
@JianC
I found an issue with the 20130121 version from Jan 21 you posted on 2fastroms: If the phone is left on the charger it will charge all the way up, then discharge all the way back to zero while still plugged in. It still displays that it is at 100%, but then abruptly drops to whatever the actual charge level is after a few minutes of use. I've tried wiping battery stats to no effect and it works properly in stock rom. This is the only bug I can't seem to work around... Any fix or suggestions for things to try would be most appreciated! Thanks again for your work on this ROM!
Fixed GPS (and other issues), please see OP!
EDIT: I'll look into the apns issue... I don't use my Merge on CDMA so it's a stab in the dark.
The final version of CM7 has been uploaded (charging bug *should* be fixed).. I will not be supporting CM7 anymore but will be working on Evervolv/CM10.1.
Thanks for your feedback and support!

If any help with the kernel is needed I will try my best to free up some time and pitch in some help. I have made several kernels for several other devices and the most popular being for the Acer Iconia tablets here on XDA see my signature. Great to see a CM rom for the merge on here though!! GB works fine for me, not that much cool factor from cm 10 or cm 10.1 as I have compiled quiet a few nightlies for the A100.. Other than the Project Butter and the overall UI I could care less about JB/ICS.

Does it just boot loop or does it go black? does the CM logo appear? Guess there is no logcat output via adb either or you'd probably have nailed it by now. Maybe we will have to get jtag debugging output so we can see exactly what is causing the kernel panic and work from there.
I have just now had time to get on xda and check up on the new status. I will try to clone the git repository and check the kernel .config for the cm10 build. Just a thought but on most devices that have a working kernel with cm9 the exact same kernel + modules work fine with CM10. Have you all tried the kernel from CM9 that was just recently posted on any CM10 builds for the device? Not much has changed between ICS and JB that are dependent on in kernel features or that require bleeding edge mainline kernel and/or proprietary kernel patches. However there is a good possibility that the issue is more to do with the bootloader that is required to chainload the android OS for JB causing CM10 not to boot properly. So updating the bootloader may be necessary for JB/CM10 to boot properly. Nevertheless we need some debugging output in order to pinpoint what exactly is the problem going on. I am going to flash cm9 to my merge now and see how everything goes. I may experiment with the cm9 kernel and a cm10 build if I can find one for the merge. My hardware I have right now would take quiet some time to build JB as I haven't even used this old c2d laptop to build any android roms yet lol. Sorry for such a long posting but hopefully it is of some help in finding the resolution to the problems we have.
Thanks guys!

The .35 kernel works fine for CM10.0 but I'm having some issues booting cm10.1 with the .35 kernel because of some graphics memory allocation issues. The main issue is that there are a few issues that can't be fully fixed without the 3.0 kernel such as the camera/camcorder, ION support, etc (which is WIP here: http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/6609/ ). I have already tried probing for the UART TX/RX pins on the lexikon motherboard with a bus pirate but I have not found anything to date. I ordered a micro usb breakout board yesterday for USB UART debugging and am going to pick up some resistors from radioshack so we can hopefully get some progress on the 3.0 kernel because it won't boot far enough to adb or dmesg for our purposes. The problem isn't CM10 right now, but the kernel, which would require jtag or uart debugging, as you have mentioned. I hope that we can get the 3.0 kernel booting soon so we can have cm9/10 fully working.

This sounds about like the exact same issues that was experienced when I was helping hashcode work on the original kindle fire device and getting it to work with ICS. I 'think' with the HTC it shouldn't be near as hard to resolve the issue to get full hw acceleration, memory mappings camera/gps and all the extra bells and whistles if we make an attempt at backporting the necessary support into the .35 kernel instead of trying to upgrade * to 3.x which will be adding to the work and break more things than it fixes. Since HTC apparently isn't going to be releasing any updates for the device it looks like it is going to be left all up to us to make one of two decisions:
1) backporting kernel - only the few things remaining needed for our current working GB kernel to have full support for ICS/JB roms
OR
2) updating to 3.x.x and merging HTC fixes and 3rd party patches -through several mainline kernel patches and keeping the proprietary htc addins compatible.
My opinion/suggestion:
I'd think of the two options that backporting would be the most logical answer to the equation since we are only missing support for few things and you already have everything working except the camera, ION, BINDER(?), and other >=3.0.0 android patches. Plus the device is pretty well coming to a good place to say cease development work and either enjoy the device or upgrade to something newer. So if we could get JB support or even just ICS working fully I think 99.99% of all owners/users would be more than 99.99% happy!! I know I would be very happy myself!

Initial release
Alternative Download Link
The Thread is open I hope that anyone with a Cruz T301 is still interested in this ROM. Most people have moved on but I figured I would provide files downloads and help. Anyone that wants to play around with my update and put different things into can. Feel free to use it as a base for other Roms.
Awesome.. Don't quit now! Over clock kernel would be the best thing it's ever seen!
Been using this rom for a few days now and I love it... it's fast, sleek and haven't had any problems with it... excluding the root issue..
Any updates on when the root issue is going to be fixed? I've tried my hand at rooting it myself but keep running into the dreaded "SU: unknown user root" issue.

Problem with Opera
Hello,
First thank you for this great work.
I installed Resurrection 2.2.1 version without problem.
By cons when I try to install Opera message says "your device is not compatible."
Same with Firefox. Any idea?
Thank you for your answers.
Excuse my bad English is not my native language!
Works great! Thanks Feyer
Hi I am a noob android enthusiast that got a t301 from a friend to mess around with. After reading a lot of your earlier forum work on this project I decided to try the Alpha Resurrection and it works great Thank you soooooo much for making this tablet useful again! Your tweaks and deletions of garbage was just what this baby needed. Don't know where we would all be without yourself and Steven J Hill, but thanks to you both. I signed up for xda just to tell ya that. Your directions were clear and worked great! I think some folks that were having probs may not have cleared out all caches like you suggest, as I have encountered similar probs on other roms. All in all a great ROM and it has been fun reading the forums and watching ya grow into your own dev self Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching for updates.
Great development :thumbup:

No I have no clue how to develop a kernel... had a few guys peeter out on me with development and so I have slowed down on making a new version. For some reason Root doesn't hold and I have tried all the tricks I know. It is weird developing for MiPS
I had never heard of MiPS before this tablet. But I'm starting to mess with developing, so I'll give a kernel a go when I get to that point

Yea it seems like MIPS is generally used in china only and so development is very limited. You can always swing by http://www.imgtec.com/mips/developers/ and get started there... kinda a pain to work with since I have not really found any other developers to help me out I'm not really an experienced dev haha

I will see what I can do. I tried to compile my first kernel (for my phone) last night and got an error, gonna try to fix it today and get it compiled. Once I do, I'll look into this, and definitely take a look at that link.

Well if you find success let me know and I will take a crack at adding it to the updated version of the ROM. I am still trying to find out why it doesn't allow super user access. It has been a real puzzler.
I tried to run cpu-z to get some info on the device. It installed, but crashes on launch >.<

We have the Ingenic JZ4760 MIPS SoC
http://hands.com/~lkcl/eoma/jz4760/JZ4760_Board_Design Guide_EN.pdf
What's the latest news on this? I'm fixing one for a friend, and would love to see maybe a beta version released.
Welcome to my thread for the Jiayu G3N, the new release of the G3 with the s501 chip.
I have ported GThrill ROM v3.0 to the G3N.
GThrill is based on Cyanogenmod 10. It is Jelly bean 4.1.2. There is currently no theme support, but I'll look into that in future builds.
Details of the GThrill ROM can be found here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163707
This ROM should have all the features of the official ROM, (and more!) the only changes are behind-the-scenes.
Features
- based on "CM10"
- Jellybean 4.1.2
- system/framework zipaligned
- init.d support
- zipalign on the fly (script by Wes Garner)
- slim and light: removed unwanted apps
- host file (to block known ad servers/hosts)
- some build.prop tweaks from different sources
- contains some lines from V6 supercharger script (by zeppelinrox, particularly kernel tweaks)
- Jellybean Keyboard (SWIPE feature)
- Google Chrome browser (bundled stock browser FCs)
- Language: English, French, Chinese, German,
Confirmed working;
Bluetooth
Wifi
GPS
Yet to be tested;
FM Radio
Known bugs;
Front camera is dark and seems to take dark pictures. Setting the mode to night and then back again fixed this. Bizzarely, the front camera seems to be taking 3MP images although it only has a 2MP sensor. I am looking into this. It looks like the camera software has been ported from an Amoi N820, which has a 3MP front facing camera.
With regards to overclocking and undervolting, I have not heard of any kernels for any MT6577 devices that have offered this. And I'm sure better men than me have tried!
If there is another G3 ROM that you'd like to see ported, or improvements you'd like to see made on this ROM, leave comments below
If your language is not supported, install morelocale from the Play store. You can use it to select any language you wish!

Install instructions:
First, get root and install clockworkmod following the guide here; http://www.modaco.com/topic/359590-...very-ics-spell-check-fixed-jelly-bean-update/
Then place the zip file on your SD cart, boot into recovery and install!
Flashable zip, install via the recovery of your choice. Confirmed working on CWM. This is a full ROM, not a patch.
Remember to backup your files and previous ROM!
You shouldn't need to do a full wipe if going from a 4.1.2 ROM to this, but I recommend that you do. (I didn't )
If going from a 4.04 ROM to this, you MUST do a factory reset in CWM, otherwise it won't boot.
Please don't mirror my files!
Enjoy
EDIT 14/04/2013 Lolfisch v1.1 released!
Changelog;
-Numerous build.prop tweaks to improve browsing speeds, performance and to remove USB debugging icon (USB debugging can still be enabled in settings)
-Fixed LED wakelock issue. Deep sleep mode now works, improving battery life. (Thanks to evirus for his help)
-Fixed Clock app by replacing it with 4.2 clock. If you're still getting forced close's when trying to set an alarm, clear the app's data.
-Fixed Handcent SMS incompatibility
-Updated 4.2 keyboard using a Nexus 4 ROM. Runs smoother now.
-Updated Calendar app to the one from the play store. Now the app will update automatically as it is linked to the play store

There is an MT6577 custom kernel but different phone..let me look that up for you..

first impressions: great rom! smooth and everything works, except for the clock which FCs when trying to set the alarm. Same as was reported with Gthrill..

Glad to hear good feedback on the whole. I plan to replace the clock with the 4.2.2 clock at some point (I have university exams in just over a week but will do it straight after that
clock is not a biggie..you can always download Alarm Clock+, 100% better than stock..camera seems better than stock..must be placebo, but still..
EDIT: flashed this through TWRP..kinda sad to think that this one's too good, I don't think a rom could get smoother..oh yeah, Theme Support please!

Antutu v3.2.2 on this ROM: 5,500

Interesting, I got a score of 5659 on Antutu. Probably SD card write speeds, I guess.
I'm going to try and improve performance further by making sure V6 supercharger is implemented properly and porting thunderzap kernel if a jelly bean version is released.
The mt6577 has been reported as being overclockable to speeds of 1.4ghz. That would be an amazing performance boost! But we need source code for that, so it is quite unlikely.

what's thunderzap?
as for the scores, I got a class 4 microsd..
and for the kernel sources, we do have one for ICS..not quite why mediatek/jiayu haven't released them yet..
thanks for the rom, and Goodluck on the exams!
EDIT: Thudeezap is a custom kernel which allows OC and other tweaks, but ICS only..I wonder: OC ICS vs stock kernel JB, performance-wise, which is better?

Morelocale2 was great for translating, but now I face antoher little problem. When I isntalled Foursquare receive this message "This device isn't compatible with Play services". What does it mean? Did I something wrong? All oher apps (Twitter, Dropbox, Instagram) seem to work properly...

Yeah, thunderzap is the thing you sent me, silly
I would definitely recommend Jelly Bean over ICS, even with overclock. The UI is nicer, you get Google Now, plus with project butter, you get better performance/battery drain. I'm loving this ROM's speed, plays HD videos with no lag . If you want it to run faster, you can chance the CPU governor to performance to ensure the phone is always running at max frequency. If you do, I'd recommend a tasker setup to change this when you turn the screen off. I'm currently running ondemand with screen on and powersave with screen off.

Wakelock bug was reported to me yesterday. I thought it was fixed in Gthrill but apparently not. However, thanks to evirus, I've been able to fix the issue for our ROM. See the first post for a .zip file that patches the issue on both G3&G3N versions of Gthrill

Tasker is a great idea..but I noticed that I can't set CPU 1, so all I get is 1 core running at Performance governor

I'm not sure how kernels work but I'm pretty sure that the governor is not core specific. That's why you cant set core 1. However, I'm not sure if taker is having any effect on the CPU at all ATM!

tasker somehow works..I checked using CPU spy, frequency and governor are applied, but only one core works via SystemPanel app..so I still use tasker for "screen off" event, so I can have single core locked down at 250mhz when screen is off..

nice job! Thanks!
I'll try your rom next week. :good:
One strange thing (G3N, stock rom ics 4.0):
if I press/hold the VOL- button (+ the power button) I boot into "factory mode"
then, I can go up and down highlihting a few choices BUT can't select any, because only vol buttons seem to work
(no button seem to act as "enter" to activate the "selected" choice.
Any idea?
Thanks again!
How is battery life with your rom?
Are HD videos smoother in Jelly Bean?
Cant wait for the g3 version. Hope you finish your exams verry soon

This thread is going to be WIP thread for the porting of CM10 to the Pantech Vega N6 A860 codename e51.
Currently kernels are extracted and device tree wip while I collect the files to be input
https://github.com/VincentEmmanuel/android_kernel_pantech_e51k.git
I welcome anyone who is interested to help out in any way because I am really new in this porting stuff.
WIll update as and when more work is done.
Things working on now
1. Trying to find a suitable msm8960 common files repo (Not sure whether needed this at all but conducting R&D now)
2. Compiling a list of proprietary files needed for the build
God bless.
Vincent
ClockworkMod
ClockworkMod for A860 K/L/S
Flash using fastboot. Instructions are all over XDA so please search.
Thanks
thanks so much for your work...
another than CM10.1 , I also want to see customized kernel which can further enhance A860 , like power tweaks, disable logging, init.d or even add FauxAudio mod
Finally something about te Vega No6
I have the A860K. I installed a customized ROM from here http://mizal.net:82/pantech/NO.6/
Works fine, but it is not very customized. Still would like to get rid of Korean characters.Another kernel. deodexed. Less bloatware, etc.
Any other customizations?
Cheers!

I am not a programmer, but I know very good shell scripting, PHP, and not so good C and some other useless languages.

I just bought a A860S and want to back up boot/system/recovery partitions, probably all partitions, except the data one.
Do you know anyway to open those official update .binx file?

I think this is the stock kernel. I think we need to grab a working kernel from Xperia Z or Oppo Find 5 since we are on the same architecture.

I remembered coming across a CWM mod that can allow you to choose which to backup. You can try ROM Toolbox.

As long as it boots, and it is a 3.4.0 kernel, i think it will work with cm10
anyway i am checking out cyanogenmod, but i dont find the a860 cwm recovery_ui.cpp source, only binary... i guess i need time to find the button mapping?
You could get answers from SDA.

There is a working CWM around in the 91dongji forum - works fine on my A860S with 1.30 software; now updating to 1.36 and see if the recovery sticks.
I'll post detailed instructions here once it is confirmed to work
i hope we can get some update on your efforts. though the crowd for this specific device is fewer than a handful for now, a lot of users are just waiting anxiously for any development....
Is there hope for this device to receive custom ROM?
there's a very active community in vegaviet coming up with mods and roms based on stock.you may want to check them out.

I tried flashing the roms from the Vegaviet but i had a problem getting my network to connect. after the restore was complete there was no apn settings for the network. I tried reading but the translations from the website but it dont make sense and no one noticed issue because they are not located in korea.

so why not set up your APN? that should be easy.
Also, using the ROM from vegaviet, i noticed the following observation :
-there was a considerable build-up of lag after three to four days of use, especially when doing a lot of web browsing
-the browser is unable to open some websites/webpages due to Ad-Block restriction
-the forced DNS settings most times slow-down my internet connection
-the keyboard still retains Korean functionality, with Korean characters sometimes getting in the way when typing
-kernel logging was enabled
much of the above were solved using the uninstall zip of crossbreeder - i just noticed our Vietnamese friends are fond of using cross-breeder on all their ROM mods.
the keyboard i uninstalled and deleted the IME file in system and just replaced it using Optimus G Pro's keyboard IME installer.
everything should be all good. don't ask me where i got those zips - a simple search should do wonders for you.
The rom doesn't allow for setting up your own APN. Those features are not available in JB. Thanks for the tips but I just went back to stock since I wasn't able to get the network going.
