Hello all,
First of all, happy new year to the xda developer community. I'm new on this forum so pardon me if my question seems to be a little bit above the level of your common posts
I'm running this ROM on my Nexus S : AOSP Strawberry Jelly Bean ROM for Nexus S! [Android 4.1.2] (found on http://nexusshacks.com)
Kernel included is from [email protected] what like 3.0.31-28_rel-gd11f-2a1.
I tried to switch to another kernel found on xda-developers forum : [KERNEL] Air Kernel [4.2.X - Weekly : #465 | 4.1.X - Final Build! ] [3.0.57]
First i did a wipe cache and then a wipe dalvik cache, then install the kernel, reboot and it optimized 84 applications but i don't see the new kernel installed in the "about this phone" menu and i can't access optimizations features.
Do i miss something ?
Happy new year
You flashed the wrong kernel. That is for GALAXY NEXUS, not NEXUS S.
Here is the AirKernel thread for Nexus S: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469842

Ok, thank you. By the way, which one do i have to choose between here
- My ROM is AOSP but it is a jb version modified. So i guess, i am interested in this download version :
<for CM10, CM10.1, JellyBean 4.2.X & 4.1.X ROMs, ...>
※NHB : Non-High Bigmem
Download : http://sdrv.ms/VRaA6u
Am i right ?
Again, thank you,
THIS:
<Other ROMs - Stock, AOKP, ...>
※NHB : Non-High Bigmem
Download : http://sdrv.ms/VRawnv
Stock = AOSP (Android Open Source Project)

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.

I got a lot of questions according usb-driver and RK-Flashtool, mainly from the german community.
Pls find here my hints and recommendations in german.

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.

3.0.1
Kernel is back to April 24 version, probably due to usb mass storage problem?
(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 ?
Thanks

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...
This was ment for the "[ROM]★●[TF300T/G/L/201/301][CROMi-X 5.0.4][ODEX/DEODEX 10.6.1.27.1][SEP 30]●★" development thread, but since I just registered I'm not allowed to post there.
In short: Request to user sbdags to add the _that5 kernel for the TF300T to the CROMi-X Add On, currently that kernel is only for the TF700T.
The new CROMi-X 5.0.4 now allows the installation of the _that5 kernel (full name: _that 10.6.1.14.8 Over Clocked Modded Stock Kernel v5) to the TF300T. It works fine on mine, but now I want to switch fsync off. The fastest way is using the CROMi-X Add Ons which is a tool to switch the kernel or change the settings (posting #2 of the tread). Version 5.01 however only includes the _that5 kernel for the TF700T. Will there be an update of the add-on so the _that5 kernel is available for the other tablets so the choices are in sync with CROMi-X 5.0.4 again? Currently only the _that4 kernel is listed for the TF300T.
I hope sbdags sees this and updates the add on.

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.

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

Open Sourcing Mediatek - Wiko DarkMoon ; SoC MT6582
MediaTek Development
Being owner of an Mediatek device, means (most of the times) not having the sourcecode published by the Official vendor.
Wiko Never published an proper JB 3.4.5 Kernel Source Code (they only gave us incompleted, and unbuildable sources).
Plus, they never updated this phone (to KK) as promised ...
--> Well ... This is XDA after all .....
WELCOME to KitKat
It should also work without any issues on the clones:
- Micromax a200 Canvas turbo Mini (India, others) --> Confirmed working
- BLU Life Play S ( South / North America) ---> Confirmed working
- Myphone Agua Iceberg Slim ( Philippines , others) --> Confirmed Working
- QMobile Noir A910 ( Pakistan, others ) --> Confirmed working
--> If you guys have any issues on this clones, let me know
--> Should be only a matter of changing the modem

Hi there
Everything is fine for me (and for my testers).
I actually know, where that is coming from ... i'll assume you don't own the wiko DarkMoon, but one of his clones?
Thats related with the modem / region... nothing to worry about, thats why i wrote that little note about the modem thing in the OP
Just go to settings>Date & Time and "Untick" the Automatic Time Zone
Them tell me how that works for you ...
Xeers
The location does not work. It's just me?
Edit: after a factory reset it works
Thanks...

You are correct.. Im using Micromax a200 Canvas turbo Mini.
After unticking automatic time zone,the same problem occurs..
When this error occurs the network is suddenly stopped and scanning once again..

Hi
Yes thats related with the region modem.img, nothing to worry about, it's expected.
But it just pops the error, everything comes back to normal after, yes?

Yes... You are correct.. It doesnot affect the usability of the phone...

Very Nice, Good work :good:
Hello, devs! I'm not good in English at all, but I'm sure you would understand. I'm owner of such an awesome device as Fly iq4413. It's powered by mt6585m (don't exactly know if it is same chipset as non-m 6582) and it is with 4.4.2 OS stock firmware. There are some parts of available sources for it, so it can be helpful. If any of devs will be interested, let me know. By the way, other specs are 1.3ghz clock, GSM-wcdma baseband, 1gb ram, 4gb overall rom, dual sim, 8mpix rear cam, 2mpix frontal, no m-sensor and no gyroscope (accelerometer presents). Also, in Russian development forum there are a lot of firmwares ported : aosp 4.4.4, flame os (not flyme), miui v5 and miui v6 beta, lewa os and some others.
Upd: as I knew , my device has LOWER screen resolution, so obviously some resources will not be the same
How is speed and battery? Is it ok? Better than original?
Htc Desire 310 have the same specs. Do you recommend for it ?
