Beta 0.4.5 (29.03)

 

  • update to gralloc/hwcomposer (slightly smoother)

Beta 0.4.2 (29.02)

 

  • -sound/mic fixed from 4.2
  • -boot issue fixed from 4.2
  • -dhcp fixed from 4.2
  • Updated Amarullz a2sd script
  • + some other small things


Beta 0.4.2 (29.02)

 

  • Phone should not lockup anymore when rotating display. Landscape mode is still strange, status bar is rendered halfway off screen...but only when rotating right...going left its fine.
  • Moved to cayniarbs stock(ish) kernel with my kgsl commits and ksm/zram backported from 3.0
  • EVtoolbox: new menu 'performance' control zram(aka compcache) and ksm, both disabled by default. ksm will reduce memory overhead by 10-15mb with minimal cpu usage (0-1%). ive read that ksm likes to have swap (10% zram should be enough) but youll have to experiment and see. also added 'processor' menu (also from cm) to view/control cpu stats.
  • Apps2sd: support moving /data/data, (run 'a2sd install' again and choose y when asked about appdata) im still wary of how to handle wipes when appdata2sd is active. so ive added two functions to a2sd: 'nodatasd' which removes appdata2sd flag and optionally removes the appdata from sdcard and 'nosysdata' which removes only the system appdata (ie anything starting with com.android) from the sdcard
  • Browser: i revised hwcomposer. redering is faster < 1 to 2 secs max under heavy scrolling


  • Rebooting issues should be resovled
  • Added /system/etc/sysctl.conf to set various vm values. Feel free to modify to your liking

Updated both Nova and Apex launchers.

 

  • Camera preview is still broke.

Beta 0.4.1.1 (16.02)

 

Sorted contact sync.

Removed Setup Wizard beause of FC problems


Beta 0.4.1 (16.02)

 

kernel update: 32bit color (fixes gradient backgrounds)
hwcomposer: rewrote from scratch for qsd8k. (main fix is screen off animation)
statusbar: new toolbox, settings button back to opening settings (swipe to change screens). notifications back to stock behavior. toolbox can even be turned off in evtoolbox
browser: slowed rendering, (fuzzy text takes a few seconds to clear up) is much faster now. (1-2 sec instead of 4-5)
Added aGPS as a option instead
Updated gapps.

Removed SetupWizard because of errors (in the high speed mirror release)

 

known issues:
reboots under heavy load, it seems this is an out of memory error: ics seems to be a huge memory hog now that opengl is enabled. can be partially remedied by using a large swap partiton (i set mine at 256mb and haven't had a reboot since) or you can try setting 0 swap and see what happens. ive also changed a couple dalvik-heap properties but im still investigating work arounds and/or a fix.
removed omx libs due to build error (just use the ones from p8 if you really want them)
rotation still broke, seems to lockup the most on the home screen.
and everything else that was broke in p8


Beta 0.4.0RC5 (15.02)

 

Fixed most of the coloring issues/gradient

The modded mms.apk now work (choice in Aroma)

Data ++ have their own optimized installation


Beta 0.4.0RC3 (14.02)

 

Small fixes:
Small change build.prop
Changed some dhcpd stuff (no major changes)
Fixed so you can manually search for provider.
added aGPS fix, report if this makes gps worse.
Added back the setup wizard at first boot.

The big changes is that we included a touch based installer which gives you possibility to customize the ROM. [Don't request things to be added in this forum.] If you want make a post in desire general and I'll drop by from time to time. If there is a lot of nagging I'll just remove the whole thing.


What you can do:
It automatically finds your hboot and sorts the ROM accordingly.
Choose launcher (stock, nova, apex and trebuchet)
Choose a2sd scripts (stock, amarullz, regular a2sd, dalvik2sd)
Choose if you want softkeys
Choose if you want mms.apk that doesn't convert more then 3 sms to mms.
There is of course a typical installation, that keeps everything as the stock ROM is.
