[ROM][JB]CM10 with Linaro toolchain based on Quarx repo

I've created a fork of Quarx's Defy CM10 repository, to build the latest version from Quarx but using the Linaro 4.7 toolchain. I encourage anyone who might stumble upon this thread to go to linaro.org and read about this non-profit organization and what they are trying to do. Note that TI is a supporting member of this non-profit org, as well as Samsung, LG, ARM, etc. All of these companies have interests in optimizing code performance on ARM architectures.
Now, Quarx has already created a couple of builds using the Linaro 12.10 toolchain. These builds are available as his November 17th and 18th builds, but there was much debate in the original CM10 thread (here) as to whether or not there was (1) any benefit from using the Linaro toolchain and (2) if the Linaro toolchain was adding instability. I think after these discussions Quarx decided to revert back to the original prebuilt Android toolchain.
I've created this build as an experiment, using the latest available (12.11) version of the Linaro toolchain.
Builds are located here:

Changelog:
cm-10-20121215-UNOFFICIAL-mb526.zip: First build, based roughly on Quarx 05-Dec or perhaps later; I just forked his most recent repo, then added Linaro 12.11 and made a few small changes to get it to build. (Thank you Quarx)
cm-10-20121218-UNOFFICIAL-mb526.zip: Cherry picked "Volume adjust sound preference 1" and Volume adjust sound preference 2 from ICS. (StevenHarperUK)
cm-10-20121219-UNOFFICIAL-mb526.zip: wpa_supplicant_6 switched to CyanogenMod official jellybean-stable branch. This means maniac's and Quarx's commits and changes involving AdHoc are not in this version. Trying to see if this helps wifi connectivity at my gym where the phone seems to get very confused and drops/connects to wifi many times. Wifi at my home is no issue. This version also reverts a change from Quarx that may or may not have an effect on reading NTFS cards... No idea, for testing.
cm-10-20121222-UNOFFICIAL-mb526.zip: using Linaro 2012.12. Screenshot option in long press power much enabled by default, cherry pick for screen off animation (not sure what benefit this was), more debugging statements in MediaProvider to debug NTFS issue.
cm-10-20121224-UNOFFICIAL-mb526.zip: same as above, but used Linaro optimizing compiler flags from Kayant, removed the screen off animation cherry pick.
cm
cm-10-20130104-UNOFFICIAL-mb526.zip: Switch to JellyX kernel repo from Blechd0se (thanks!), kernel built with standard gcc 4.4.3 while everything else is built with Linaro gcc 4.7. Seems to be stable overnight, I had to wipe cache/dalvik/data to get it to boot. I've rebooted it several times on purpose to check stability and it is, so far, stable.
The forked repo is located here:
https://github.com/skelliam/android
If you want to try to build this yourself, you *will* encounter build errors. One in particular with Linaro is regarding strict-aliasing. There is some discussion of this on the Linaro blog here. There are several other errors that you'll enounter, but fortuantely, Quarx has already created a script that checks out fixes for most of these.
So in general, the process will be something like this:
Move to a directory that will hold the sources. I just created a directory 'cm'.
Code:
$ mkdir cm
$ cd cm
$ repo init -u git://github.com/skelliam/android.git -b jellybean
Now you need to run Quarx's script to make the fixes required for Linaro. From the ROOT of your repository (in my case the cm subdirectory):
Code:
$ ./device/moto/jordan-common/apply_linaro.sh
Now, what the heck, try to build it. You will encounter more compile errors but it is worth it to see what I'm talking about. To build:
Code:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch mb526
You should get a bunch of errors related to strict aliasing. To fix these, right now I've applied local changes on my repo, in the remaining makefiles responsible for the errors. Here are the changes I've made locally to get around these issues. I will try to make an update to the apply_linaro.sh script as Quarx did, it was 2 am when I did this and I just wanted to get it built.
Update 5-Jan-2013 I've checked in everything now, so if you use my base manifest file (from github.com/skelliam/android) you should not need to make any changes OTHER than to run the apply_linaro.sh script.

Someone mentioned that the BBC I player app doesn't work.
First of all, are we talking about this app?

So I tried this out here. On first install, when I tried to open a program, the phone became almost unresponsive, something was hogging the CPU. I had to pull the battery.
After rebooting, this app seems to work fine:
That's my experience anyway. As far as Netflix, I've just recently cancelled my subscription, so I can't do much with that one.

Nice ROM seams to be verry smooth. battery life is as far as I can say quite good.
I think I found a bug - Bluetooth is not working I think. Same behavior as on quarx' 2012-11-18 - build.
At least for me. Maybe quarx' bluetooth-fix for this build can solve the problem? Couldn't test yet.

Thread moved as your OP has no format whatsoever and the Development section isn't for discussions. If you want this in Development please make it clearer that this is an actual ROM and not just a discussion and also add all credits with links to the original work. Just look at some of the other ROM threads for an example of what should be included e.g changelog/features, what changes have been made, what you're asking people to test for you to discuss, just anything really to give more info then you have given already.
Thanks

Really a PM would have been fine.
This thread was created to avoid clutter in another thread.
At the bottom of the post I'm pretty sure it says that it was posted with Tapatalk from my phone? As soon as I'm on my PC I'll add as much rich content as you desire... There is only so much I can do from my phone.
Lastly, each thread IS a discussion, I have no idea what a "forum" is for other than discussing things.

I'll confirm that Netflix does not work. Stuck on splash screen with loading wheel spinning. Never tried it on quarx 0512, though.
Great build, IMO. No problems on any of my heavy use apps. No reboots or freezes yet. 20 hrs uptime.
Using my standard setup; no ksm, no zRam, no overclocking, 16 bit transparency. Interactive and noop.

Awesome, thanks for testing it. I've been having some instability regarding wifi and Tasker, but I experienced this also with the Nov-18 from Quarx. I will keep investigating it.

On last builds by quarx I had problems with touch screen input getting delayed/unresponsive some times. Until now I don't experience that in this build, but I should use it longer to be sure.

Oh I see now it's the same as what I did before the difference was I was trying to compile CNA with it but it broke in so many places I just gave up loool I will try again I guess and see if there is indeed some improverments in CNA because I remember full linaro CM & kernel that I tried before was a bit smoother that just having linaro compiled kernel.
Anyways thanks for clearing that up for me

It was I. I was looking at the official BBC iplayer app which is here and requires the BBC Media Player to do the heavy lifting here
It's not as severe a crash as on the 05/12, where I had to yank out the battery, it crashes when it should hand off to the stream, the rest of app works, you can navigate the programme listings etc but just at the point when the stream starts on CM7.20 it hangs. I have access to 3 defys so I can confirm that is the point when the app crashes. I can also confirm the Netflix issue. Are these two related?
As I said in the other thread it is significantly snappier, I'll keep one defy on Quarx, one on this linaro build and one on CM7.20 for feedback (well at least until xmas when they're all being given as presents) :laugh:

The problem I get with all newer builds by Quarx , from 11/18 onwards, is this logcat entry: "E/MediaProvider( 9674): Can't obtain external volume ID even though it's mounted.", which causes process media to be killed all the time, making the user experience a true hell: camera, music player, Play Store, etc, etc, etc, i,e. practically nothing which requires access to my NTFS formatted 64GB card works! So, I'm always back to his 11/17 build (for a month now). I already posted thiis many times on his CM10 dev thread, but, as usual, I get ignored. You, most probably, have already read my posts about this issue there. Anyway, any thoughts if I would face this issue if I flashed your ROM?

Awesome job ...works fine on MB525 green :thumbup:...

Hi casouzaj... This is interesting that it started happening between 11/17 and 11/18, so it should be easy to find and fix.
Yes you should probably face this issue with this build because I'm using the repo from Quarx, all of the files are the same except for some changes to get it to build with Linaro.

So, your rom will be 'fork with linaro' only, or you have plans to change something?
I ask, because after 18.11 Quarx builds start drain battery (Android OS takes half of usage), wipes, reinstalls, clean rom, nothing can help.

Great ROM!
Using bf5x batt have jumps
Bluetoot fix from quarx work!
Any idea for batt jumps? Installed on top from 18/11 quarx with full wipe>rom > gapps>reboot

After 24h use:
Verry smooth and in my opinion best responding CM10 I used until now. Usally I stick with quarx' build.
Battery drain about 2% per hour at light/normal use (just a little surfing, reading news, checking mails, etc)
Bugs so far:
Bluetooth disabling crashes phone app.
Bluetooth fix of quarx helps to at least solve the crash. Got bluetooth mouse correctly working. File transfer to a compueter doesn't work.
Reboot into bootmenu/recovery fails - just a reboot happens

Could this be the reason, that i am not able to listen properly to music anymore?
Every 5-10 minutes my mobile forgets almost every song on my sd-card, there are some left, but most have gone.

BUGS​
Some (not all) seem to experience issues with GPS. If you have issues with GPS, please RSD the JB image and then flash Carbon. GPS should work now. (I've also heard you can just restore a stock backup, get a lock, then flash Carbon again...)
Haptic feedback on soft keyboard is not provided when enabled (which it is by default)
While capturing a picture to send via MMS, ensure HDR is deselected - Gallery will cause a force close if HDR is enabled!! (Note - HDR works for normal still photos, just not MMS.)
Update Google Search (manual update), or else any voice searches will fail with FC. Update the app, and it is resolved.
Caps lock LED doesn't seem to work properly...
Camera button doesn't work? Cam/camcorder works fine, but the physical camera button does not seem to function (in Carbon).

Reserved

1st to try it out. Slide out keyboard light does not work.

Great! Now we as CDMA user have much ROM options to choose. Carbon seems a big hit nowadays along with Paranoid with its Halo features. Thanks a lot for the port.

Ah, I did not notice that. Should be easy to fix, it's probably a liblights issue... as I cannot adjust the brightness either
Edit - fixed the brightness issues, and added back the multipress options... but I am still missing the keyboard backlight! I will keep working at it, and keep this thread updated.
Edit 2 - welp, looks like there are some frameworks/base hacks required. I will upload the build I am running now, everything with liblights is fixed (brightness of the display, notification LED) are fixed but keyboard backlight is not. Working on fixing that now.

Figured I would post again - as liblights should be completely fixed now folks .
I probably need to test MMS again, I'm trying to think of what else I could have missed... let me know what you find broken guys! I'm also curious if this works on the GSM hacked variants, or if I have to run another build for that group.
Edit - just tested outbound MMS (which is all I can test), it seemed fine.

First off great job. I love this rom. One question. Will your kernel work with this rom? I tried flashing and it greyed out my WiFi. I had to wipe and reflash the rom.

Well, I have a few kernels. There's one I released for CM, and my kernels that have their own thread (which are for stock).
Unfortunately I will probably have to release a separate kernel for this, as any time the kernel modules change, wifi will be broken if you don't keep up with it (this is why your wifi is broken dwaynet89.)
I assume you were using the CM kernel? That would be the only one having a chance at working. I can whip up another one for this build too if needed

Installed and running nicely. Can confirm also that face unlock through the normal system settings does not work and force closes. Might it be related to the camcorder video issues? Doesn't impact me a whole lot as one of my wifi network requires secure credentials and won't allow any security less than a pin. Will look for other bugs but looks really solid to begin with. Thanks for all your work!

This ROM seems really cool and i like most of it so far. FYI starting from stock and letting GPS lock before installing the ROM works here too. No problems with GPS for me. One thing i am missing and maybe its just me but is there a menu for changing launcher settings in this one like there is in CM? I always remove the google search bar and increase the grid size. Short term fix for me was i backed up trebuchet with all of the settings like i like it in CM 10.1 and restored it in carbon. Thanks for the work on this and if you need help with testing stuff i'll be glad to help.

disconnecting wifi
Hi first off amazing job on this rom arrrghh. The only issue I'm having with this rom is when connected to my WiFi it will just randomly disconnect and go back to my lte service. And to re-enable it I have to go to settings>WiFi>and connect to my WiFi again. Not a big deal for me, just wanted to let u know this issue occurs. Also the issue I had with the supersu on the cm10.1 rom isn't happening on this rom. And I did clean fresh install no dirty flashing. But other than that problem everything works amazing. Keep up the good work ur the best.

Hm, now I've heard on stock people having issues with wifi turning on & off.... but I don't think they had to actually re-enable it in settings.
So you say the wifi is not only disconnecting, but it is being disabled as well? IE when you go into settings, wifi is set to 'off' and you have to flip it back 'on'? Or are you just cycling it off/on in order to get it working again...

One bug that I am noticing with the latest build is in portrait mode the bottom corners of the screen do not respond to touches. In the screenshots below it shows me touching the search option in the phone app, the #'s button on the keyboard to change to using #'s and the save in the lockscreen shortcut options. I had to hit these repeatedly to get the screenshots and they still were not responding to touches.
I never dirty flash and I tried rebooting and also wiping and reflashing but dosen't resolve the inssue.

It may be a hardware issue (hopefully not) I just flashed previous build before the bug and now I'm having the same issue. I'm going to restore a backup of cm 10.1 and see if its there also.

Ok i have been working on this for a few months and finally got around to uploading my latest build and decided to make this public. This is Firefox OS ported to Kindle Fire HD 7". It is still quite buggy but I believe alpha status sounds about right at this point. Here's some info about this OS in case people want to know the technicalities. This OS is based on AOSP 4.3 using hashcodes cm 10.2 device tree with some modifications. While it is based on AOSP Android, this OS is only based on it in the sense its core is based on android, it has no dalvik virtual machine so don't even bother flashing a gapps package with it, it wouldn't even recognize it inside the OS.
I have to give a big thanks out to Hashcode, for putting up with all my questions in the irc about building rom's considering i'm totally new to compiling an android os, much less troubleshooting the technical things. Also have to give a big thanks to the Mozilla dev's in their irc because they helped me quite a bit in figuring out how to get past the main bug i was having(especially gerard-majax). For those of you who weren't in the testing you would'nt know but the original builds of this would boot up to the firefox boot animation, flash a white screen and then blank. Managed to work around this rather than fix it for now thanks to them, along with answering alot of my questions that are more inside Firefox OS's realm rather than android's. Now that i mentioned that i have to thank all my tester that helped me get this project off the ground by testing the rom out and reporting any bugs, along with just reporting if the latest build worked. These people include but not be limited to: Jserrano56, LinearEquation, Ph0enix_216, r3pwn, viktormax3, trinaldi, south956, and Latonya1. If i left anyone out i'm sorry, i grabbed everyone's names from my sent items rather than browsing the entire thread where everyone volunteered. I will add screenshots as soon as i can.Screenshots added! Sorry for there not being any lockscreen pics, i can't take them because the shortcut for screenshot in Firefox OS is power + home button, and there are no softkeys in the lockscreen for homebutton...

Now let me list some bugs it has that are currently being worked on to the best of my limited capabilities:
[Pre-2/26]
Battery Gauge doesn't work - Fixed sorta (see new bug below that was caused by fixing this)
[2/26]
Gralloc is disabled because of bug with sgx gpu's so theres some laggyish graphics < Fixed [2014-03-12] (thank you mozilla devs for patching this!)
"Insert SIM Card" message is displayed on drop down menu and lockscreen < I'm looking into this, all i know is i need to figure out how to disable RIL
Camera is broken - now compiles sucessfully but still doesn't work (mediaserv crashes and burns)
Video Playback wont even initiate < still not sure about this problem, trying to look into it- Fixed [2014-05-20]
Issue where device tends to not want to come out of sleep mode unless plugged into charger < Looking into - Fixed [2014-05-20]
Bluetooth isn't working yet - Fixed [2014-05-22]
Miscellaneous GUI glitches < These are more than likely mainstream since version 1.3 was being stabilized until recently.
Charging Loop on lockscreen when charged by usb low power < still looking into this
sdcard is a bit glitchy
mtp isn't working (adb works fine though)
usb connection restarts every so often < probably related to why mtp isn't working
small boot animation < not sure if i should stretch this or fill in the background with blue or see if mozilla devs have a higher res version somewhere
Note that like i mentioned in the bugs, this is based on a 1.4 Pre-Release, which isn't exactly the most stable branch. If you are wondering why i used an unstable branch the answer is simple, 1.3 is based on ICS sources, and i didn't have an ICS device tree to work with. At this point i guess you could say this OS is comparable in a sense to Ubuntu Mobile OS, simply because android is more popular, but as i like odd things i decided to go for it with this ROM, so I will say this, if all you use your Kindle for is email, browsing the web and listening to music, then this ROM would be good for that, it was designed to be Completely html driven. It should run smoother than it does now in the coming updates.
So without further ado let me post some instructions for flashing this ROM:
***Notice*** Please make sure you have at least twrp 2.6.3.1 installed or you may encounter problems.
Download the ROM above and place on sdcard
Boot into twrp
Do a factory reset
Hit Install
Choose the ROM
Reboot
Profit!
Notice: I am looking for developers that would like to help me with this project as i don't know any C++ or C coding, so the bugs i can fix are limited to what i can find that is simple or simple enough in C++ that i can change a string here or there. So please if you aren't busy or are interested i would love some help fixing things.
Now for any developers that are interested here is a small tutorial on how to download and compile this because the process is slightly different than the android setup by a little:
First off i suggest reading the setting up the build environment herethat Mozilla made, but keep in mind some things when following their instructions, their build instructions were designed around the stable 1.3 branch which I'm not using, so certain things like the compiler versions they list are incorrect so for what they call for using as gcc and g++, install the 4.7 version. Another thing they don't mention because i stray from their path is you will in fact need Java, so make sure that's installed. i included a preset .userconfig to specify the correct version of gcc and g++ to be used, if its in a unusual path or something look in the .userconfig file to change it(its in the root folder of the build environment). I also advise setting the ccache higher than they put it at, it usually works at what they set it to but recently i couldn't get it to build until i set it to 5GB. One last thing i haven't automated yet is because this was a non Java using OS the signapk.jar file doesn't get auto-copied to the folder it needs to be in when the otapackage is made so if you ever make clobber or its your initial build remember to
Code:
cp tool/update-tools/bin/signapk.jar out/host/linux-x86/framework/signapk.jar
Ok that paragraph appears to be a bit of a mess but i think i put the core info for setting up a build environment in there. Next how to download and set everything up. First off goto the folder you want to set this up in(for me it was my home folder) and run
Code:
git clone https://github.com/stunts513/B2G.git
once that is done run this:
Code:
./config.sh tate
Now go do something for a few hours because its going to download a lot of data.
Now that it is done downloading there is something important you need to do or it will complain about missing dependencies, go into the frameworks/base/graphics/jni folder and rename Android.mk to Android.mk.disabled or just delete it. I suggest if you want to put this in another name other than your login name on Linux to "export USER=blah". Ok now things get different but simple, run this
Code:
./build.sh -jX
where X is the number of physical + logical cores your pc has. Once the build process finishes run
Code:
./build.sh otapackage
Once that is done you would think "yay my build is complete", but no it never could be that simple, lemme explain the next steps to do until someone helps me recode some python scripts.
Now that we have a signed apk we need to add some things to it to get it finished because the python scripts need some editing i don't know how to do. Go into the out/target/product/tate folder and open the zip file it created up, add the data folder into it. Now open the META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and find this line
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
right after it add these lines:
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
and don't forget at the end to add the
Code:
unmount("/data");
before the
Code:
unmount("/system");
Now that that is over with grab the last command you see outputted in the terminal about running java -jar signapk.jar and modify it so it doesn't have the /tmp directory as the input file, and make the output filename whatever you wish. Tada theres a successful build for ya. if you want to look at it i have this info on my github wiki for b2g in case i either left something out or had extra info on there.

Thanks! Hopefully this will attract some dev's and some people might get interested in this os. I find this is very interesting in the sense that all the apps are literally coded in JavaScript and html5, so practically anyone could learn simple languages and make apps, I already have been learning a bit of JavaScript myself so I can understand what's going on in Gaia a bit better (Gaia is what the ui is called for those not informed). Learning JavaScript is kinda interesting because its the first object oriented language I've learned I believe. Anyways things I'm going to need a dev's help with more than likely are the camera, the Bluetooth, and the video playback issue. I have some leads with video playback but haven't had very much luck with figuring it out. Anyways I hope to see more people posting in and their thoughts plus any bugs they found/I forgot to mention. By the way I recommend trying the games out, they run quite smoothly considering I have gralloc disabled, I was surprised that games like solitaire actually had dragging and such, I'm kinda new to html5 so it actually surprised me.

exellent work. keep like this !

Thanks for the support! I have been looking into disabling ril so that annoying insert sim message will go away, I kinda made some progress on it but its kinda half and half progress, I'm twiddling around with gaia's innards, and someone mentioned there's a way to build Gaia that's meant for a tablet so I tried it, here's the upside so far about it, it took the annoying sim message away, and has a slightly different layout with only 2 pages on home screen and I think the search box was disabled. This is the downside, it took away the games collections and such, the icon for insert sim is still on the status bar and the lock screen still says no sim. Even worse than that was the fact I believe the only way I can put it into practical flashing use is to make a production build rather than a user debug build, in order for me to even test it I had to wipe data, and then run a make file that pushed the needed files via adb. Even weirder to me is I found out as it is right now I was thinking I need to edit hashcode's python scripts for building the otapackage to include /data to be auto included in the packaging process, and after seeing how a production build is made I see why it's unnecessary, a production build actually puts them on the system partition. Might still add a command line option to the scripts for if its a user debug build to do so. Sorry if this seems like confusing ramblings, I find it fun talking about technical things.

Update!
Ok, here's an update, have a major bugged fixed in this release as well as minor graphical bugs.
Update: [2014-03-12] Alpha 1.4 Pre-Release
Links:
Dev-Host: Download
Md5sum: 8799eafb470354ad0ecc717f0fb3ad88
Whats fixed in this update:
-gralloc works now (thank you mozilla devs for fixing this)
-misc gaia(the homescreen/gui) fixes.
What these fixes mean:
With gralloc functioning now, the graphics are much much less laggy, and i can also start troubleshooting the video playback issues a bit more than previously. You will now notice a nice artifacting loading logo on videos in youtube, and on games like safecracker it will be a nice big fullscreen artifact on the screen while sound is playing.
Gaia misc fixes from upstream, they are nice little things that needed fixing that now work correctly, like that little bar of bleed through from the homescreen on certain apps and games is gone, things like that. I will update my screenshot now so that actually looks nicer.
Thanks to this update some things were brought out that i now can start throwing some guesses around as to whats up with video playback and the games and such that are artifacting. It probably has to do something with a buffer, but i have said this before i need a dev that will help patch this kinda stuff, i have no clue how to myself. All i know is most of the problems i'm having with video playback issues and artifacting and such are probably caused by the fact Mozilla has their own custom framework/av folder, which in turn i believe has its own custom libstagefright, this also i think had something to do with why i couldn't get the camera's hal module to compile. So if any dev is willing to take a look at this please help me.

Finally had a good time to test this out (if you call Argumentative Writing class a good time). Flashed well, booted without a hitch, and the setup wizard or whatever it's called went smooth. I've gotta say, nice job Other than the bugs you've already addressed, my only complaint was that the music app went into a scrolling loop when in the album art view, then crashed.
@stunts513, be proud of yourself - this is quite the accomplishment I only wish I could do something as awesome as this.

Thanks, I'm thinking about trying to build it for the other devices as well sometime this week to test it out and commit any tweaks I may need to make to compile for those devices. I've been doing other things lately so I haven't been booted into Linux much this week and my debugging hit a bit of a standstill, I'll try debugging it again soon and see if I can fix anything else.

Same here, I enjoyed watching it but the YouTube no video was the killer for me, does hulu work on it by any chance even thru chrome cast
For your own custom Sig : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922304

Funny it would get bumped today. I've been upgrading to a cm 11 device tree kitkat based build for about 4 or 5 days. Been having to debug a error for the past few days that was driving me nuts and I finally got passed it. Even more surprising is the fact I didn't have to disable the camera and I think it compiled its module successfully. I just finished a build a while ago and plan on testing it tomorrow once I make a nandroid backup. My main issue is as it turns out from multiple devs telling me(hashcode and gerard-majax) I added some unneeded stuff to the manifest back in the jb builds. Apparently just because the compilation process requests it and errors out without it doesn't mean its required(this really surprised me). Long story short some llvm and clang related stuff was being compiled thanks to some librs related stuff and erroring out for some reason and it turns out I had to kill it at the source. Let's hope my build works, I'll try to post the results depending on if I go shopping for parts for my microwave or not.
Edit: oh and as to the video, I have not heard of b2g having chromecast. I don't know if they would support it or not considering its based on googles work but forked in a different direction. And no as of that last build no video was working. I think it was something with ducatti not working right so none of the video would even decode and there was some kinda buffer error with I think open on related animations so even of the decoder worked I think it would a been artifacting like the YouTube play button and such. Hopefully the cm 11 builds will work better. I still don't have a dev to help me with this so progress is kinda slow seeing as I don't know c++ I can't do too much. I'm just glad all the devs have put up with my questions up until now as I know how annoying I can get. It's not often I find tech savy people that know more than me about PC's as i come from a small town so I tend to have a million questions when I find someone smarter than me.

Dev-Host: Download
Md5sum: cf1cabaa21cd4b3767449bc7300666b0
Update info:
-updated to a kitkat build with the cm 11 device tree
Fixes:
-Fixed video playback - (actually hashcode did, i just pulled in changes from his repo and it worked)
-Camera doesn't work but the module is compiling now so camera *may* work soon, don't hold me to it.
On another note, i noticed while atleast video playback is working not all video files are openable, but i haven't tried much outside of a random file left over from a android game that it found so i don't know the extent of what can and can't be played. The file i played had audio and no video.
Oh and something important you need to do when you first boot into it, enable soft home from settings>developer options, for some reason the previous method i used involving a build.prop property didn't work this time around. Kinda annoying...
Todo:
- In the next few days i'm going to sync up my sources with hashcodes again becasue he said he's got some camera fixes he's working on that might help.
- See if the hwc will build and load on cm11 builds as it may fix the artifacting on certain games

Nice will try asap, today's too late and I just saw......imma download though

Description
Tipsy OS is a ROM built with a strong emphasis on smoothness and stability. This ROM is very light, thanks to its Slim base, but it also comes packed with a great number of customization possibilities, as DPI settings, animations customizations, gestures... It is also packed with some Omni features as OmniSwitch. It is also build to be fully compatible with the Subtratum theme engine.
Status
This ROM in active developement.
Bugs
This bug section has a specific protocol.
To each bug will be assignated one flag of the following:
C : CyanogenMod specific. This means the bug originates from the CyanogenMod sources and that it will be fixed by the CM developers in a future build.
F : Flavor specific. This means the bug originates from the ROM's flavor sources and that it will be fixed by its developers in a future build.
B : Build specific. This means the bug originates from the builds I do. Hopefully, this is very unlikely to happen.
U : Unknown. Not enough info (yet) to identify the origin of the bug.
Then, there will be if necessary some more textual info about the context of the bug, workaround in bold if available to avoid the bug before a fix. Every fixed bug will get struck.
No bugs to report at this time
You can, and are encouraged to report any bug you encounter with this ROM. Will be taken into account reports containing the following :
The build you are using
Clear steps to reproduce the bug
Optional logcat of when the bug happens
If possible, tell me if you experience the same bug on other CM-based ROMs
If possible, tell me if you experience the same bug on another device with the same ROM
Of course, any other information you judge useful
When meeting this criterias and if other users approve your report, it will be added to the list. Bugs encountered with the use of Xposed or a custom kernel will be discarded.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the next build coming?
I can't give precise information about the next build. I try to do a new build each time there is a significant change in the ROM's sources (bugfixes, new features...), but keep in mind that I can only do this on my personal computer for now, and that I also do it on my free time. So please be patient!
Will you fix this bug?
Unfortunately, I'm not the person in charge of fixing the ROM's flaws internally. We have to wait until the bug is fixed in the upstream sources (either CyanogenMod, or the ROM developers of the one in this thread), and that I do a new build.
Will a Nougat version of this ROM be available?
I hope so! Again, this depends CyanogenMod 14 ever comes to our device, and if the ROM developers carry on to this version too. I can't say for sure, but if it is possible, it will be done.
About the HTC One M7 ROM Building Project by Siphonay
As an effort to keep our device alive, I'm trying to build the various existing CM flavors not already officially or unofficially available for it to keep its ecosystem varied, and provide its user a wide range of choice for their device.
If you like this ROM, you should definitely check out the other builds of this project!
Unofficial Xperia Open Source Project (XOSP) - Unofficial Android Open Kang Project (AOKP) - Unofficial PAC-ROM - OctOS M Community Build - UNOFFICIAL Tipsy OS 4.9 - OctOS M Community Build - Android Open Source Project + Substratum OMS (AOSP-OMS)
If you'd like to donate to the project (p.e. to fund a server to automate the builds in the future), I'd ask you first to consider if you have anything else more useful for you that you'd want to do with your money. If you really want to help this way, you can send me money with PayPal.

Slim ROMs
Tipsy OS

This ROM contains preinstalled apps (ES File Explorer, AdAway, Viper4AndroidFX) that I view as bloatware, because I consider they should not be part of a base ROM experience but rather as apps that the user should install themselves. I'll try to remove them in the next build.
Otherwise, this is a great ROM, and I really recommand it if you think Slim6 doesn't have enough features, because it keeps its optimised and smooth aspects, depsite being loaded with a very complete set of customization features.

I love my PACROM but Ill give this a go. I like smooth however, no one ever focuses on responsiveness. If we could click on ..lets just say the calendar app, I would like it to almost open immediately. I know cache builds up and helps the Android OS but clicking on apps and having them open almost instantly with very little delay would be next level. Thanks for putting this out and keeping our M7's alive longer than expected. Ill report back with my experience after I get it all up and running and also after 2 days of heavy use. Thanks again!

Click to expand...

This ROM has doubletap to sleep on the lockscreen or on navbar. This ROM and most Marshmallow ROM doesn't have doubletap to wake. This feature requires the touchscreen to still be listening to inputs while in sleep, and the m7 isn't optimized for that, so it's draining a considerable amount of battery. I think it is better not to have this feature.

I am currently using Xenon HD's Marshmallow ROM and it has double-tap-2-wake, and status bar to sleep.
The main issue I have with the HTC one m7 is the fact that the power button is too hard to press with a case on, thus double tap 2 wake is much needed! It would be nice if it was possible to integrate these functions into the kernel, or if there was Any other way!

I'm in the same boat, using XenonHD LP, and love me some DT2W
Please give us the option to have this feature, you could always have it turned off on your phone
Or maybe provide a separate kernel build that has DT2W enabled so that we can use Kernel Aduitor to enable the feature.
Many thanks!

I won't include this features in any ROM I build, sorry.
You can still extract the boot.img from XenonHD (including the MM builds) and flash it with fastboot. Then you'll use the same kernel as this ROM which will include DT2W.

Introduction
LineageOS 11 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit their Gerrit Code Review.
Aims
This ROM is created with the purpose of kick-starting some development to make our Nexus Q's useful again. The newest working ROMs for this device were from 2014 and CM11 based. These are now very outdated and needed security patches to be safe to use and so I have built a new ROM from the latest LineageOS 11 sources.
Once this ROM has been optimised for the Nexus Q a little further, I shall explore altering the interface for TV and Desktop editions to make the device more useful. I may also attempt to port newer Android versions (5.0+) in the future so we can get a full Android TV experience on this device and compatibility with newer apps.

Improved LED support
Stock Nexus Q boot animation (see #4 for preview)

New build! (02/23) - Additional LED Ring Control
XDA isn't letting me upload new files at the moment as it keeps producing errors building checksums and so I've given up and started hosting new builds on AndroidFileHost until they fix it. Once XDA have sorted the issues then I'll try to upload them here (as well as using AFH as a mirror) but for now any new uploads will just be on the latter.
Anyway, in this new build (20180223) I have improved LED ring functionality by modifying the Android notification framework so that the notification light can be changed by apps even with the display on. In theory it is now very easy to control the LED as we like since it can be used like any a phones notification LED but without the screen off limitation.
At some point I might try to develop an app which syncs the LED to music or something cool but in the meantime if anyone else fancies having a go at something like that then please do as you will now be able to without using any Nexus-Q specific APIs.
You can test this new functionality using an app like LightFlow from the Play Store which can set custom notification colours for any app and you'll see the LED ring change.
I also made a quick demo of cycling between colours which you can see a video of here: https://plus.google.com/+CharlieCallow/posts/WAfcBmg7MYF.
The built-in The CyanogenMod/Linage LED control still seems to be a bit flaky but it's fine with third-party apps which have LED settings (like Lightflow).
Anyway you can download the new build from below. If you are upgrading from the first build just flash this one over the top and wipe /cache & davlik cache.

New build! (02/28) - Original Nexus Q Bootanimation
A tiny new update from the last build. This one swaps out the Lineage OS boot animation for Google's original boot animation from the Nexus Q stock system image.
Also, XDA seems to have fixed the file upload issue so the latest version is uploaded here again but I'll upload to AndroidFileHost shortly a link it as a mirror.

Sure, it's up on AndroidFileHost now: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754466172. I've also added a link to the Nexus Q page on my AndroidFileHost.com developer profile to the OP as a download mirror for all of the files posted.

Development update
So, good news: I think I have the a build which should support the amplifier, HDMI audio and optical output in the same ROM.
Bad news: My Nexus Q seems to have given up the ghost! It seems the Micro HDMI port has failed. I can't get a signal out of it no matter what I boot regardless of the display I connect to. I hoped it might be the cable but I tested with a spare cable I had lying about and still no joy! This could mean the end of this little project as I can't procure another Nexus Q here in the UK and I can't really do this without a working unit! :crying:
I've ordered a brand new Micro HDMI cable to test for certain but it's not looking good! I'll keep everyone updated.

Did you check on IFIXIT the replace the Brocken piece? Really sorry to hear.

It's not likely to be easy to repair if that connector is broken and parts will be hard to come by. I'll wait for the new cable and see how that goes first.
In the meantime, I have managed to test my new build by connecting to the Nexus Q via Vysor as a workaround to see what's going on. While autoswitching still doesn't work yet, the amplifier now does work and so I'll be posting a separate amp build soon for those who want to use the amp instead of audio over HDMI or TOSLINK.
I am also hoping at some point to add A2DP sink support so that the Nexus Q can be used as a bluetooth receiver. That would be particularly handy with the amp build for people who want to add bluetooth to a set of bookshelf speakers.

Keep up the great work, recently dusted off my Q and this looks promising, would love if we could have simultaneous Bluetooth output but unsure if the hardware supports it. Do hope we can get an auto audio switching feature or a togglable setting to switch audio outs.

Thank you soooooooo much! I can't believe there are somebody still remembering Nexus Q.:good:

Any update on the build with amplifier support?

Sorry, this project got sidelined when I had issues with my Nexus Q's HDMI port. I got it mostly working again for now but I've since been very busy with work & other projects. I hope to pick this up again late August / early September. In the meantime I'll try to dig out the existing build I have with working amplifier support as I've had a few requests for it!

Please pick it up again! I've just done my occasional forlorn search for Nexus Q goodies and had a brief burst of hope. I recently got a Google Glass for the price of a curry which has renewed my interest in the old Google gear, my ideal situation would be the Nexus Q acting as a Cast target with working LEDs and amplifier, that's all I would want. I have it running on an old Cyanogen install but that's not exactly functional.

Just stumbled upon my old paperweight, the Nexus Q and decided to look around before finally tossing it - glad I did! I am looking forward to trying this out this week. Hopefully the amp will work (and some pretty LEDs) as this was my player for my outdoor stereo.
Anyway thanks for reviving my hopes!

So I dusted off the Q ball and plugged it in to give it a shot and I got an issue when upon rebooting into the bootloader screen. I cover the Q, it flashes and turns red, then nothing. If I cover it again, it spins blue LEDs and I am prompted with the following:
"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE"
Then i get the following choice:
"No"
"Yes -Disable recovery flash"
"Go Back" - which just reboots it again.
At the bottom it says "ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1, Formatting /data... Formatting /cache..."
Which should I select to upgrade to this to the LineageOS? I remember there being issues with these getting bricked so I just wanted to double check.
Also, what program do I use for fastboot? Is there a link - its been too long!
Thanks for the help.
