Very good ROM for those who stuck with 2.6 kernels.
Also I confirm it works fine on InsarPad V1 (which is a clone of Sonore Andropad) using stock kernel.
Yet some flaws I found:
busybox: there are two binaries in /system/bin and /system/xbin. Also busybox applets aren't symlinked. I had to restore them with my script.
Bluetooth doesn't work:

Google+ app's background process crashes regularly. But that's probably Google's problem.
Camera works in photo mode but in video it just rejects to react on commands: hardware button "Back", stop recording etc. Also Hangouts fails to work with video=on.
@Oma7144, thanks a lot for this ROM!

Cool.
It seems the hci implementaion in your stock kernel is different. So no chance.
I could be wrong, but Google+ and Hangouts wasn't invented at the time the build was done.

Also ntpd doesn't work. (that means time is not set automatically from the net)

Hello Oma7144,
First of all sorry to dig up this old topic of yours.
I found this and it seemed the solution to my problems so i have question for you:
- Can this rom be used with the tablet BQ Tesla witch also has the RK2918 chipset? I would like to install a Android 2.3 based rom on this tablet because of performance issues with the latest roms that are out for this model. Can this be done?
Thanks.

Don't be sorry. This ROM is still very actual for some tablets that don't have 3.0 kernel.

Most likely yes, but I believe you can run JB/CM10.1 ROM by Oma which is way better.

Actually I'm using Oma rom Jelly Bean on my Bq Tesla tablet but I feel it would maybe run better with a android 2.3 rom since this version is lighter and not so memory hungry.
My question to Oma is can this be done since my Bq Tesla came originally with a 3.0 kernel?

I doubt that. IMHO Android 4+ is faster then 2.3, Google made a great job. Though that only with enough amount of RAM (512 would be great).

Doubt that again. @Oma7144 ?

Negative, GB will not run on a post GB kernel.

Before you start modifying your terminal, it is recommended that you adjust the following two settings:
Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging = TICK (Yes)
Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources = TICK (Yes)​

....-ox=O=xo-....​
Before doing anything to your device I'd recommend that you read through the various threads within the first section below, entitled GENERAL GUIDES so that you are familiar with the various terminology used and you never know you'll probably find an answer to your problem.....
It's also recommended that you install adb/fastboot onto your pc before you start to touch your device so that you have the required tools to execute the necessary commands and to provide other users debugging/logcat information regarding any issues you encounter. This can be a big help when attempting to fix/solve any subsequent problems you experience. You'll find a guide on how to install this within the GENERAL GUIDES section below.
If development on any of the ROMs below or any other entry has been ceased or is no longer valid then I would appreciate if someone (preferably the thread owner (OP)) could contact me and inform me so that I can label it as #CLOSED#. It may also be a good idea for the thread owner to contact the Moderators @chrisd1a1, @Divine_Madcat, @dinesh690, @Siberian Tiger, @stamatis, @...Awesome..., @Moscow Desire, @zacthespack (or any Moderator) and request that the thread is closed.

Instructions for install
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You will find these files useful if you have used the Android Open-Source Project, flashed custom builds on your device, and wish to return that device to its factory state.
In order to use these files, you need to have the fastboot tool in your PATH. That tool is compiled as part of every configuration of the Android Open-Source Project and is the tool used to flash custom builds on your device. On GNU/Linux systems, this also implies that you have configured USB access as mentioned in the machine setup instructions.
Your device needs to be in fastboot mode, with the bootloader unlocked. The relevant key combinations and commands are documented on the page about building for devices.
You need to uncompress each download before use, which creates a new directory for that exact download. That directory contains a ./flash-all.sh script, which handles the various operations, installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system. Note that this operation deletes all user data by default.
After restoring a factory image, it is recommended that you lock the bootloader, for security reasons.
If you need some help for install SDK and ADB drivers in Win 7, you can use this guide which is really good and comprehensive for all of us

Help me with your reports. If you have tried something which is functional for the N7 3G, write me a post and I add it
This thread is for you
I cannot try everything (I don't have enough time to make it), therefore I need your help.

Should it be better to ask admins for a dedicated subsection "Nakasig 3G Development" on the Nexus 7 section ?

No, the admins won't open a subsection especially for the "Nakasig".
That's why, I have open this thread
and if you want to discuss about N7 3G, you can go to this thread and discuss about all of your problems and solutions about it
NEXUS 7 3G-"nakasig"-For all Your Jelly Bean Discussions, Problems and Solutions

I noticed the link for the N7 index actually takes you to your Asus Transformer index thread instead.

Absolutely Brilliant I love this tablet! and your rom completes it. I do however do not like the home launcher, If you could can you please port the android 4.1.1 back into the device? Also you do not need so many cpu tuning and system tuning apps. I tried using pimp my rom but all most eveything I tried had no effect at all! However the performance and battery life is spectacular for this rom you have made, If you could I would be very grateful if you made a light version of the rom aka no bloatware etc remove all unecessary apps?

Thank you for sharing your ROM with us, i will test it as soon as i have my chuwi v88 in my hands.
Glad to see you rocking the v88.
Oma rocks!

Oma7144 said:
The combination tab/firmware is fast enough for everything, so additional tuning maybe show not that effect
I compile the images for my personal use and let all other participate (if they like).
So there maybe a lot of apps you will never use. You can strip that down by using hiuninstaller for example.
The build comes with stock launcher, too.

I aso noticed that when gaming your rom starts freezing and i get massive lag spikes! I know that this shouldnt be like that as previous roms and oiginal firmware i have used did not do this! can you please try and fix it? This happens with NBA2k13 and Asphalt 7 aswel as NDS Emulators, Aso is it possible to port the android 4.1.1 launcher to this new rom? I do not ike the look of the new stock launcher compared to the previous launcher!

Thank you for feedback.
I did download Asphalt 7 from Play Store and played for a while. Nothing special noticed.
Stock-Launcher from 4.1.1 is not possible due to other API-level.

hi
thank you for developing for chuwi v88, really appreciate your work.
i have some question regarding chuwi 4.2.2 oma v3.1:
why the clock font and taskbar icon so small, compared to TabletUI on 4.1.1,
anyway to change to phablet ui? changing lcddensity build.prop to 213 does not do the trick.
usb mass storage seem not working on me, windows only showing 2 empty drive, on tablet no notifitcation to enable massstorage, MTP and PTP mode works fine.
thank you.

(before it was 3.1 version with May 29 kernel)
does this version 3.0.1 also include power usage improvement introduced in previous 3.1 ?

I played around with your rom more and I got 19k on Antutu I tried re running antutu after that but only hit between 17.3k and 18k so I am not sure what I did right! Also USB-Mounting does not work, sometimes after I reflash your rom about 5 times USB-Mounting works fine for a few hours and then it stops. Do you think we will be able to see a CM10.1 build for our device? or is that not possible? And any ETA on a new and improved Rom I really enjoy yours compared to every other custom rom available

Does battery usage data show up on you rom? I tried it with v3.1 and it doesn't show.

In the "light version with phabletui" it worked for me...

This rom works very good for me. However there is one problem i have with both this one and all others, mkv playback is not as silky smooth as it should be. It worked perfectly fine on my nexus 7 and my onda vi40 Single core but on the chuwi it just isn't perfectly smooth like it should be, anyone else experiencing this?

Wifi reception is quite weak
Hi OMA,
just install v3.0.1 light phablet version freshly. It seems little bit heavy than the stock 9 may.
And wifi signal reception is weaker that that stock. Now is around -70db than -58 db on the that version of stock. But everything is very good.
Good work OMA....thanks.

probably due to the kernel (april), you can try Oma suggestion, to flash the latest kernel on top 3.0.1, and post back, wifi should be better....
=========
Not specific with this rom (also happened in stock), why the task switcher preview is 180 degree flipped?? anyone experience the same??
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21932186/flipped.png

Light Version with PhabletUI:
180°
Yes, also screenshots are turned around.
Copying files in backround seems to slowdown the Tablet.
Can anyone confirm?

WIFI on v3.0.1 with different kernels (may)
Hi Oma and Arielp,
Just finishing change 2 different kernels on the light v3.0.1. i.e. bob #460 and bob #11.
But unfortunately, in term of WiFi reception, they are no different...still weaker than the stock Build Date 2013-05-09.
Please kindly notice that v3.0.1 with kernel bob #11 is quite laggy, but USB mass storage work well.
Cheers...

[REQUEST] Kernel (TF300T) - Stock - 10.6.1.27.5][GRIMLOCK_Kernel_V0.8] Update

Hi to all,
Is it possible to have an update of that kernel. For example the F2FS support.
Actually I use this kernel [Kernel][TF300T/ME301T - Stock - 10.6.1.27.5][GRIMLOCK_Kernel_V0.8][Jan 3 2014] and it works pefectly with CROMi-X 5.4.
For now I don't want to switch on any KitKat rom (Cyano, Omni) because they do not have the HW acceleration that I need.
I can not post on that thread, so I open this thread.

A: On the dialer : *#*#3646633#*#*
OR --> Settings > MTK Eng. Mode ( added on Stable 1.0)

A: The Engineering Menu, should be for Advanced users only, there's several things you can do.
a) Increase The volume speaker volume: >hardware testing>Audio>LoudSpeaker Mode> And set MAX Vol with an max value of 160 (145 as safe)
b) The same options, as in JellyBean MTK Eng Menu.
Q: What are the Partitions Layouts usable on This ROM/KitKat ?
A: BOTH Partitions are usable (Stock and Extended), however on stock Partition Layout, the Internal SDCard (~2GB) can´t be used as is not visible due to the new KitKat fstab (partition table)

I'm testing this rom, at the moment is going very good and smooth! Will edit later if i find any bugs.
Great work and thanks!

Thank you, good job.
If the file is copied platform.xml to etc/permissions/platform.xml you will be able to install applications to the SD card.

Hi
I'll be uploading an new recovery ( Twrp ) tomorrow, since cwm can be an buggy sometimes on KK. ( reboot doesn't work sometimes on recovery)
Edit: I can confirm that on calls, on 3G you cant hear the other person (Edit the OP with this info)
On 2G calls works just fine
Regards, have funn

It's very laggy in my ZTE.
Am I the only one?
EDIT: Not laggy now, all is correct. Thank you superdragon!

No problem haha
It's actually as smoother as JB4.1 or even slightly better.
--> KitKat uses less RAM (any 512MB RAM Phone can run it just fine), you'll see that KK gives you more free Ram, than any JB/ICS Rom.
Regards
EDIT: F.A.Q. and Kernel Features added on OP and following posts...
EDIT 2: New TWRP Recovery added (Its better than CWM ...)

Yes, KK's very stable on my devive(512mb ram). Compared to JB 4.1/4.2, it give more free ram. Don't lags, don't crashes. Amazing!!
Many thanks to superdragonpt you are great!!

Hi Yournametv
Yes KitKat runs very good on 512MB, i know, becouse i have another thread, Rom KitKat for micromax a110, and that phone only haves 512MB. and runs smooth
This is still "Beta" , becouse its the first release, but im my opinion, the rom, runs great.
I've been testing this rom for some days, and no big issues.
Please, feel free to share you feedback about the rom, im very Curious to know how's it runs on 512MB.
If you play any heavy game (RAM consuming) please share your feedback here.
Also try to play heavy games, that didn't worked on ICS/JB, KK is more light ...
EDIT: One of the bugs, seems to be fixed: Calls on 3G, i'll post later an patch for you all
Regards

thanks for bringing kitkat to this device
this rom is awesome for 512 ram device, after install full apps it left more 200mb free of ram, that was impossible in JB ,
I could moothly surfing heavy website in chrome, switch moothly to other mutitasking apps, I've never ever done it in lewa or JB. this rom make me love my phone more,
could you make a option to choose which sim to be used in 3nd message/dialer apps please? thanks in advance :victory:

BIg Games
Works fine with ''big games'' :good: . Tested:
- Boom Beach
- Candy Crush Soda Saga
- Clash of Clans
Thank you Superdragon!
EDIT: I'm in ZTE Grand XM (1GB RAM), 512 MB to play xD

calls under 3G Network
Ok , i heavly tested the new patch yesterday, and its now fixed.
Just bare with me, i'll upload the patch, as soon as i find some free time.
Im the time being, you can switch to 2G to make calls.
Regards

No sound during calls
Hi all,
I've just installed this ROM and (as for your previous ROM'S for v970) I want to congratulate (and thank) you on your work, the ROM's are pretty stable and smooth.
However, in this ROM I'm faced with an annoying problem in which when I make/receive calls the other person can hear me but I can't hear anything. I already tested the recording app so it is not certainly an hardware problem. I installed the ROM with TWRP and on the second boot installed superSU as instructed. I got no error messages whatsoever and all the other features seems to work as announced.
I have the v970 version with a single SIM (tmn version). Does anyone has/solved this problem?
Sorry, did not read all the posts previously, forcing the 2G solved it. My bad. Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
Best regards,
André Farinha
