Hi,
I have been in contact with Bertans through his LEANdroid thread and through private message and we have been working on a bit of a mod for LEANdroid. Basically people want OC/UC and the rest of the goodness from other roms.
It is a mod of LEANdroid 11.10.2 and has a few extra bits over and above that rom. Now has a kernel custom compiled by me from aorth's kernel source.
Includes:
LEANdroidMOD_6
-2.2.2 Thailand rom base, newer and has the mystical .2 instead of .1!
-NOMA kernel from before
-Custom Ubuntu and Jura fonts because they look better than the ugly android ones
-Not compatible with previous 2.2.1 releases (up to LDM 5)
-This is for testing, not sure if it is compelling enough as an upgrade over LDM5 as I am going to include fonts in LDM 5 too.
-Still has old market, but it will auto update, may update it in a future release.
-Has XDA anti malware patch set up in installer.
LEANdroidMOD_5
-Custom kernel based of NOMA source
-Very custom smartass cpu profile setup, seems fast and battery efficient
-24/12/12, now has Ubuntu and Jura fonts and XDA anti malware patch in installer
-Otherwise similar to before
Previous
-Android 2.2.1+ LEANdroid 11.10.2+
-OC/UC 30mhz to 691mhz. Defaults to 30mhz and 600mhz- Fusion Kernel.
-Smartass and interactive governers. Default is ondemand.
-164MB free space.
-Some custom sounds.
-Fusion kernel 122mhz and 600mhz by default.
-Busybox
-NOfrills cpu control installed by default.
-Tweaked memory management
Everything that worked on LEANdroid should still work up to LDM 5 but it has a more spicy kernel and a few more tweaks. Please backup first as I cant be responsible if it doesn't work or you lose stuff. As these builds are just LEANdroid with a different kernel and a tweak or two, you should be able to get away with just flashing it over your existing LEANdroid install and just wipe cache and dalvic cache.

Reboot after install and hold volume up and green call button then push the power button > hold vol up and green call until recovery menu comes up > wipe user data and cache as well as dalvic cache in advanced menu > choose install zip from SD card and select whichever LDM release you are using. Once it is installed, reboot the phone and you should have a shiny new LDM install.

Looks Good!
Great job - I'm excited - will try tomorrow. What keyboard and launcher is this running?
I will try it (I am excited about it).
Still dun understand why everyone say about abd driver in install procedure when all is done on phone and phone sdcard.
Is running standard android keyboard and launcher pro just like LEANdroid.
Think the adb part is just to get clockwork mod on there. You can also use rom manager if you want, although that seemed to be playing up last time I installed it. if you play a bit more you can also use fastboot, but I have not tried that yet. Im still running CWM 3 installed ages ago using rom manager.
Any idea how to get extended "Phone options" when i press power button.
Like reboot, etc not just the 3: Silent, Airplane, Power Off ??
Thx.
It is something to do with custom frameworks. Have not explored that much as yet. Trying to get the kernel good and fast for a start and then can look at custom looks for later.
Hangs at Android logo
I had just finished flashing LeanDroid when I noticed your (what I like to call) "LeanDroid on Steroids" (on Steroids due to being overclocked). I had been thinking if I were to right a ROM, this would be it...so...I was jazzed. I spent all day trying things over and over and can't get it installed. It just hangs at the "Android" screen. I had to install something so went back to regular LeanDroid and installed it again with no problems. I did everything you suggested including the wipe and the new CWM to no avail. Did anybody else get it installed?
Oh, ok... interesting. will have to do a wipe and flash and see what is going on at some stage. Have been developing it as I go on my phone, so possibly it works as I have been flashing kernels and such over existing builds.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does CWM give any errors with installing?
Im guessing you are reasonable experienced with flashing, but how long did you leave it for on the android screen?
is this the android animation screen or the boot splash?
Does the MD5 hash match?
Thanks for helping test this, hopefully can get some more info and testing done to work out what is going on here.
heh, just flashed it from fresh and no dice, boot loop. trying to suss it now.
Going to upload a more basic build which is just leandroid+ kernel. Just tested on fresh install and it boots fine. Link will be updated in the first post.
Paul
Ok, take 2... try the new mod which is in the original post. It is straight LEANdroid+fusion kernel.
CWM gives no errors. Not heavy enough to know the meaning of "MD5 hash match" but also not fresh out of the box; I gave it at least 5 minutes on the "Android" screen (don't know if that's called the animation or boot splash); regular LeanDroid takes almost exactly 2 minutes so I thought 5 should be long enough. Will try the new one now. If doesn't work it will take me a little while to get back to you about it because I'll have to reinstall a working ROM so I can connect and reply. Here goes.
PS: I'm not doing this for fun; I just wanted a fast & lean ROM because I found myself demanding a lot of my little IDEOS and she was getting intolerably slow...am I'm really exhausted from trying to come up to speed on all this over the last few weeks...so...I want to be finished with this now...so...when you do any future updates (in gratitude for my help ) if it's even possible, could you please make sure it catches this LEANdroidMOD_2 so I don't have to do anything else to have your final version? I'd really appreciate it. Here goes. I'll let you know what happens.
OK. It loaded. Took 2 minutes just like plain LeanDroid. I went straight to the app drawer to play with NoFrills but it's not there. I realize you probably "lightened" this one as a troubleshooting tool to get her working. I just installed NoFrills and it does offer the 691MHz of the custom kernel. Sorry for asking you to educate me but:
1. Is it very advantageous to have NoFrills (or any desired apps) built in to the ROM instead of installed separately and if so, why?
2. Should I go 691, 122, ondemand, & deadline or what?
3. Should wait before I start heavily customizing my homescreens with postits, etc. because this prelim version won't be updated?
4. Is there a way to update to a more final version without losing my homepage customizations?
Thanks for the (I say best) ROM and any educating you give.
Hey Paulynator, thanks for your patience. Leandroidmod_2 was a very quick build to get things moving as I had to build something to get my phone working after the first rom didn't boot in testing! Will upload another build with busybox by default and a couple of small mods today. Problem came from data/app, so ditched that and put apps into /system/app.
Questions:
1)Not really, I just like it, others may prefer setcpu or something else instead.
2)You go with what you feel happy and doesnt crash your phone, try 652 and 60 first, then go higher and lower if it is working fine. Just leave apply on boot unchecked in nofrills until everything is working fine. Ondemand and deadline will be fine.
3)Updates should be able to be installed without a wipe.
4)Just install zip in CWM over your install, sorry, I cant promise anything though.
Thanks
Paul
Ok, take 3. everything from 2+busybox and some custom bits. Tested on my phone and it boots fine with a total wipe. Hopefully wont need to do a total wipe, but have not tested flashing over an existing install.
For question #1, I didn't mean NoFrills as opposed to SetCPU or something else; I'm asking if it's very advantageous to have desired apps built in to the ROM instead of installed separately and if so, why?
Paul,
Report on LEANdroidMOD_3 (a.k.a. LeanDroidOnSteroids, c'mon, it rhymes!) (or even "cleaner": SteroidLeanDroid. If I say so myself, awesome title for an awesome ROM...to me.)
Installed over version #2 w/o wipe seems to be ok...to the extent that I started the process of recluttering (restoring) my Ideos as though "she's a keeper", i.e. no more wiping; the records stay intact from now on.

Sorry to hit you with 3 since your last but since we have a "hard"/permanent Home button right below the screen, is the redundant one at the bottom of the app drawer removable from a menu or would I have to mod the rom to remove it?

Doesnt matter one way or the other, I just liked it built in. Only possible advantage is that some apps in /system/app wont use space in /data/app, but this is lost the moment you update them as updates seem to install into /data/app. So my Leandroid with nofrills in /system/app still gives 164mb free space in data partition until things get updated.
Good work, thanks for the update that it can be installed over a previous install.
Home button is part of launcher pro. on the home screen, hit menu>preferences>appearance settings>uncheck home button on app drawer.

Just found a possible glitch. Don't know if it's the ROM so tried the obvious things to no avail. The camera app (any camera app; I tested the problem by downloading and trying others) won't access the gallery. In the stock app, the little preview window (that tapping opens the picture in the main window) won't open the picture. It gives an error message saying "app initialize failed. please download the app from the market". The app isn't in the market so I d/l'd 2 other camera apps and they both did the same. Using Root Explorer to try to open a picture also wouldn't work. Could you please try to access the gallery on a phone you've installed your ROM on and let me know if it works? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Works fine on mine. Try go to the market and update Quickpic. It does not like being in /system/app so if you update it, it should work. It was one of the reasons I tried to put it in a data/app from the start, but that caused bigger problems like the rom not booting.
I could also put the stock gallery back in alongside quickpic if needed but it does not have multitouch.
hi guys, can somebody help me to solve my problem when I flash my websong n8000 (same like star n8000).
what I've done doesn't meet any success.
I've try to flashing whole rom that can be found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695210&page=1
and i also have change the display setting using SPMDT but it didn't work
my screen still black but it is booting and the touch screen is also working.
Help me guys.
hi mate, i had the same problem with you..do you have the answer for this problem ?
Display Contrller problem for N8000
Me Too. I got this phone with a July 27 version.
I did not want it since the internal 2GB cannot be used with App2SD.
Flashed with July 5 firmware using SPMDT and was able to succesfuly downgrade.
But now screen is totally wrong colors. Mostly black, but still able to see the UI, just that no colors. Just black and pink.
I hope somebody helps us in this thread since we cannot post in the official N8000 thread if we are a new user.

Hi, I have this Star N8000 and been doing help videos on youtube over the last 2 weeks. I was able to put apps on the 2GB by going to Settings->App->and I select (Move to USB Storage). I have a 32 GB micro sd card. with my media installed. I moved as many apps off the 512 that I don't need as it will slow the phone down. As for you guys issues, I would recommend not flashing any rom on the device. There is just not enough info to properly identify it. You can either go by led flash position. The Haipai version is the same internal and for some reason its more easy to identify but its running the same MTK 6575 Single Core 1 ghz processor as the Star N8000. The Roms are optimized for the extra screen size so that explains it.

You didn't ubderstand me.
Of will work for you because you are moving it to your external sd card (32GB). But I don't want that. I want to move it to the internal sd card (2GB), so I can have a lot of apps even of I don't have any external card installed.
This version can't do that. If I do not put am external card, the move to USB storage is greyed-out in the app settings. It means it cannot detect the internal card as an installable partition.
Anyways, I was able to fix it after finding out that there is a different display driver from a uboot.img of a different firmware, that I need to flash.
Jul 5 version is still the best l, in my opinion.

Hello
my name is Sarah from Israel
I've been really desperate
I bought a new device on eBay
I tried to flash the device an older version of Android because the new one does not have Hebrew
Now I know I have to choose just the Android and not all the components but that's after the fact
Now the device turns on with a blank white screen
The device turns on and I hear the keyboard but the screen is blank and white
I read on the forum that I should use SP_MDT software fot flashing tool but I can not figure out how to use it??
The SP Flash Tool v3 tool is very simple and I got along with him ... But the second tool really not sure what to do.
I beg you, help me please to solve this.
EBay seller does not know anything and said this device is not supported
he sent me this file e1808_v75_jbl2-ota-user.root but it cannot be used by the SP Flash Tool v3 (scatter file cannot be chosen)
It seems to me that this file should install in different way (maby i ned to conect the phone as mass storge and put this file in the root near the download/music/video folders and after to boot with some Buttons trikes??)
thanks for help!
Hello,
Sorry for the non explicit title but I couldn't be clear!
I am new with this but I know some stuff about android like I know Kernels, Recovery, ROM etc.
However, I was wondering these things, I am not up to date:
1) What is UBER?
2) What can contain a Kernel that a Rom can't? Is the Kernel like the heart and the ROM more like the body? It's sometimes really ambiguous for me
3) WTF Is that external memory system lol, is that possible to use the external SD and move some apps without formatting it only for the phone?
4) I like CM 13, really like it and especially because of the Theme that you can change and who change now everything and not only the desktop °_° but I was wondering what kernel should I use with CM13, I mean like a specific kernel who could be better than the CM Base
5) I tried many roms, CM, Beanstalk, DominionOS but in every case I coudn't get a functional GAPPS, with OpenApps Aroma I don't have the Playstore, with the A-GAPSS I have it but it crashes sometimes (play service fc ++edit: i will watch for permission > result: it still doesn't work and fc++) and this is like I can't use snapchat because of this... Any idea about this?
Thanks to all, have a nice day

1) Uber? It is a taxi service... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubercab&hl=en
2) The kernel is essentially the interface between the OS and the hardware, so your analogy is very accurate.
3) I am not sure what you asking about external storage... it is the SD card when it is in Portable mode. (assuming Marshmallow) you cannot install apps to it in portable mode (external). This should give you what you need to know: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109134/p/1449,9582
4) There is no "best kernel"... kernels are always a trade off, performance for battery life and vis-versa, the best anyone can tell you is try and see which works best for you. Remember to dirty flash ROM between trying different custom kernels to fix any changes to the ram disk and other /boot changes by the previous kernel.
5) Ask in the ROM thread for the recommended Gapps package for each ROM, if the recommended one doesn't work, then post in that thread and you should get feedback.
Hey thanks man!
Uber as a kernel thing I mean is that something godlike like linaro was in the old time?
Oh so the "problem" about moving things like in older phone is about 6.0 and not about the phone himself?
Hmm okay I will try them so!
And gonna ask cm post then, thanks

Oh... lol... I didn't even think of the Uber toolchain... It is a toolchain built by Chet Kener, actually similar to Linaro, I don't know that kernels built with the UberTC are any better than other kernels and the toolchains tries to take key elements of Linaro and SaberMod and combine them... As with any kernel, YMMV, so try them and see what works best for you.
Yes, Marshmallow handles file systems differently, especially when it is portable storage (external storage)... Marshmallow, without root and third party apps, cannot put apps on the SD card, it is just storage space. But the card can be adopted as internal storage, and if you google around, you will see there are ways to split the card into 2 partitions, part of it as internal and part as external storage.
Hi!
Thanks for the info!
I'll try to find any of those third app as I am rooted to move, because the class 10 of my sd card isn't enough and then it's laggy as hell, while I still have 4 gb used in my internal... Like not legit <_<
I already knew that I make partitions on my µsd ^^ But I never tried or so, I will try it soon I guess
Hey there, I am back! Just tried to partition the sd card via TWRP but when I boot the phone after partitionning + swap the phone says that the memory isn't compatible, any help ?
Well, I've got a little problem ATM. My phone says in the settings 23,45GB of 29,12GB are already taken. (System takes 20,88 GB space) The strange thing is now when I look my space now on SD Maid it says I've got 2,60GB of 8,24GB taken
I'm kinda struggling here and I don't know what I can do...
ATM using:
- CarbonROM (newest Build)
- Costum kernel from zacharias.maladroit
Any help / answer would be great :-/
Custom rom and custom kernel. Use stock, or talk this with rom developer and kernel developer.
Hey, I got a little problem with my Tab2 10.1 - with different ROMs and even with stock firmware, I always get nearly 100% CPU usage by "other processes".
Im getting that information by the app "System Panel 2". And the tab runs like sh*t... What can I do now? Im not that new to rooting and flashing, but something like this never happend to me... :crying:
Its a Tab 2 10.1 WiFi (P5110)...
I tried:
- (clean) flash of different ROMs
- (dirty) flash of old backups
- wipe of everything (incl. Internal Storage etc...)
- flashing stock FW with Odin
- tried phh's superuser instead of SuperSU
- tried in terminal "setenforce 0" (or something like that)
Some flashes run the first minutes like always and some of them are from the beginning sh*tty to use, cant even open settings app...
Hope anyone got an idea for that problem :/

Finally I got it!!! I dont know why, but it was my SD Card... I unplugged it and boom, no problems anymore...
I wiped the SD Card and now I can use it like before without this weired problem. Huh...
SD card formatting stopped high CPU on custom ROM. Thanks!
Thank you!
This solved my problem with a custom rom (NAOSPROM 7.1.2 december with OpenGapps pico) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
After installing gave me alternating high CPU after a reboot. One time reboot gave a low CPU and than next time high.
'Simple OS Monitor' (great tool) just showed system_server around 16-17% hardly ever lower. Stopping almost all non essential system apps and all user apps. Didn't make any difference. Even removing SD card.
A network reset seemed to do something, but hardly.
But then after formatting SD card, putting back the files I had stored there, except the Android .secure android folder, I rebooted and all was well. CPU usage of system_server went from 17 to 1 % and total CPU to normal
So Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 works well with NAOSPROM 7.1.2 custom rom ... but don't forget to format your SD (when you experience high CPU usage).
Just in case somebody finds this information. Like I did yours.
