ok folks im hoping people can test this for me,
just built a new build (my first for the adam) based on the newest official 2.2 build but with some interesting tweaks
NOTE: i am a dev working for NI especially on honeycomb soon, but these roms are my own.
changelog:
New Kernel with NTFS support, android does not mount this by default but you can mount it via adb read only. (kernel has rw support but i couldnt get it to mount a ext drive rw)
Kernel has few other tweaks and changes and doesn seem to die when sleeping either now
performance tweaks (minor ones) made to the os itself
full google apps added (untested )
ability to disable ril/phone features to conserve battery (see below for info)
adhoc wifi courtesy of the update posted on this site previously
disabled some of the logspam that was enabled but isnt needed
boot.img is first stage prepped for honeycomb

RIL Disabling Information
ok this is a creative feature. all adams be them 3g or wifi only versions keep thje phone related applications and services running in the background and on the wifi only adams this causes a higher battery drain due to system constantly trying to connect to a network, i have implemented a way to disable this by setting a simple property in the system
to do this you need to edit the /system/build.prop file and change the mentioned line to 1 instead of 0 then reboot
if that doesn work then try the below route
open a terminal and run the following command then reboot
Code:
setprop persist.ril-off 1

It is probably because there aren't very many Adam users yet.

Yeah I think there are very very few adam owners out in the wild. Might be a decent bump after this next delivery round next week.
And NI has not officially released their kernel source and from my discussions with them I wouldn't expect it real soon. I did however explain to them that it will have to be eventually so I think they might be working on it.

They don't seem so keen on sharing huh? Interesting since they like to use other people's open source code...
Guess I will have to join in and start hounding them about it.

I second that. Am a fervent flasher (the right kind....) and when I get my Adam I will certainly be putting my own 2 cents in to get the most out of it, both OS and UI wise.
I am not alone, so definitely expect a flury of activity by Adam enthousiasts once the next 2 batches are delivered.

You guys are lucky to have djsteve as your new Dev. He's put in a lot of work for the Dell Streak since it first came out and he will probably put in a lot of work for the Adam ink as well.

Update: 10/03/2011:
UPDATE: 10/03/2011:
time for another update
changelog:
reverted vold change as it screws up things
added some more perf tweaks,
added data2ext script from gtab forum on xda, seems to work nicely, can hit quadrant scores of ~3200 now
flash you will need to install yourself at moment, i forgot to readd it link for flash : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpos ... stcount=26
Code:
refer to original thread/forum for download links
enjoy folks and if anyone wants to do another video feel free.
---------------
UPDATE: 17/02/2011:
ok have tweaked a bit more and made a few more changes.
changelog:
new vold added with ntfs mount support (see below for some issues known with this)
flash player added and should auto install
fixed market and facebook
fixed superuser ability
added estrongs file manger for root use
tweaked the ril scripts to be easier to use.
added modified nvrm_daemon to increase 2d framerate
Code:
refer to original thread/forum for download links
*note for VOLD, this now mounts ntfs drives read only, but it has slightly screwed up the mounts, if you power up device with no microsd plugged in it will mount the internal storage and allow access to is via usb, if you plug in a microsd or boot with one in it will mount both internal and external sds but share the external over usb, it quite happily detects and mounts my 1tb usb hdd which is ntfs formatted though now.
ril tweaks: now all you need to do is create a empty file on your memory card called riloff.txt then reboot and script should do the rest to reenable rename the file rilon.txt and reboot
enjoy folks and if anyone wants to do another video feel free.

[KernelModule] Overclock

**** Do Not Repost! Link back to this thread! ****
*** Update: This works on Thrill/Optimus 3D. There are seperate kernel modules for Froyo/GingerBread/CyanogenMod kernels***
Here ya go... I prefer this method rather than hard coding changes in the kernel. Assuming you have both kernel modules extracted to /sdcard
Switch to root
Code:
$ su
Copy files from sdcard to /system/lib/modules directory - You only do this once
Code:
# cp /sdcard/symsearch.ko /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko
# cp /sdcard/opperator.ko /system/lib/modules/opperator.ko
Load modules, always do symsearch.ko first - You do this every time you reboot
Code:
# insmod /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko
# insmod /system/lib/modules/opperator.ko
Set Frequency - You do this when you want to change frequency - in hz, that's 6 additions Zero's to make Mhz
Code:
# echo 1188000000 > /proc/opperator
This uses SYMSEARCH by Skrilax_CZ
https://github.com/SkrilaxCZ
Inspired by Milestone Overclock by Tiago Sousa, but totally rewritten for omap kernel 2.6.35-7 and above.
http://code.google.com/p/milestone-overclock/
This is a stripped down version. I'm working on a fully featured version, that will allow you to play with voltage as well. There are some hurdles to overcome before that is ready for prime time... In the mean time, lets see what stock voltage can do... 1188 is my sweet spot on stock voltage, what is yours? I get up to 1235 without reboots, or real noticeable lags but the linkpacks are all over the place, where it stays in the 80's at 1188. And remember, the number is in hz a.k.a. cycles per second, so to get Mhz, you must add 'Six Zeroes' to the end of your desired Mhz.
* Note2Devs: Feel free to put this in your ROM, but please do credit me for the Overclock in your release, and link back to this thread. You can also post a link to your ROM here as a way to make myself and other aware of it. Thanks...
* Echts shows us how he integrate's the module into his own ROM. TY, Echts...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19542521&postcount=52
* Thanks to greenbats for helping figure out the O3D gingerbread kernel issue!

Essentially, hardware wise, the Thrill has exactly the same specs as the Optimus 3D ? I mean, CPU wise.

Yes, give this a go on the O3D, the module is actually compiled against the cyanogenmod cosmo kernel, which is really for the O3D. Should work.

No real installing... It's just the modules... You can throw them in /system/lib/modules, and then use an init script to load them up, then set the frequency, but don't do that until you know what works *STABLE* for you.
If you have a favorite ROM, let the dev know about this, and maybe they'll integrate it.
I'm not sure if custom kernels like acurateam's might be too different to work properly at this point. But it won't hurt to try. Just don't start loading it at boot right away.

What I'd really like is for the ROM making dev's to come to a consensus as to how to integrate this... Mainly, the best place to throw the script that does this at boot on these phones. I know how we did it on droid X, but I haven't dug deep enough into this phone just yet to be sure... I'll update the OP as methods improve and I get more feedback.

Or use callmearia kernel and make script for system/etc/init folder... havent tried his kernel but it should support the script at boot up. Acura roms should work that way too.
The way most roms use overclock is the init script that starts at boot...

Those would have been based on Milestone Overclock... Which is where I gained most of my knowledge by contributing to getting the droidx/2 side of things working. MO's method of manipulating frequency and voltage no longer works on OMAP4, or rather kernel 2.6.35+... I had to come up with a new way of doing things, which didn't fit well under the existing framework of MO. So, I started from scratch... This is just the tip of the iceberg... Basic, basic, basic...

i get insmod: init_module /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko failed (exec format error).
What am i doing wrong?

I also get the same error: insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko' failed (exec format error)
Is it because I have gingerbread?
Must I use froyo?

Both O3D's, huh? What kernel are you running? give me output of
# dmesg
and

And if it's acurateam, a link to their kernel source

"LINK Boot_2.0 More RAM, No Lags, More Speed.." from acura. Think he uses stock kernel. Im on GB by the way.
Outputs is a bit over my head. Tell me how and i´ll provide it for you.

[Q] Custom ROM list

Hi,
is there a list with features/screenshots available for custom ROMs for the HTC One?
Basically I've been testing out all the versions of Stock ROM and finally on 4.4 there seem to be quite a few bugs and other things that irritate me....
What I'm basically looking for is something that will be able to be updated while still being rooted. Also in addition I would like to get OpenVPN working again, a bug in 4.4 seems to not create the Tunnel interface. It would also be nice to have the root file system RW too which I'm unable to do in the Stock Rooted path.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

Have just tried Android Revolution HD, is installed and currently am just checkin' it out So far so good. Does everything I want from it and is extremely stable.
Not sure how to update it though as there is no 'in OS' updater that I can see but probably using TWRP with the new ZIP file will do the trick.

I just tried android revolution HD and I thought it looked pretty good. But I could not get the mail app to set up my yahoo.

[KERNEL][L][STOCK][5.1.1]intersectRaven's Kernel - 20151018_20XX

Development Goals:
- stability
- energy savings due to more efficient ARM algorithms
- strictly no overclocking unless approved by the manufacturer or my source base integrates it (also, even if my source base integrates it, expect no support for it)
- no undervolting as well unless the manufacturer approves it since it's relatively pointless IMHO...
- all improvements should require MINIMAL user interaction (e.g. you don't need to do anything except flash the kernel or at the very least use SetCPU or the like to set fixed options)
- stability
*note: FAQ is at the 3rd post
20151018_20XX:
- some ramdisk cleanups for single image
- enabled KSM and ZRAM swapping for increased memory flexibility

20150607_09XX:
- back to usual local version tag
- rebased to newly released 5.1.1 Lenok branch on AOSP with some additions from Bass branch for WiFi throughput and energy saving
20150602_23XX:

- modified panel to disable partial update since it seems to cause problems with current code (i.e. it disabled burn-in protection)
- special local version tag
20150531_18XX:
- removed a useless setting in the ramdisk which might cause increased CPU utilization thus less battery life
20150531_15XX:

- some performance improvement commits
20150220_23XX:
- integrated changes for 5.0.2
*since changes were minimal, this might still work for 5.0.1...do that at your own risk though...

Other devs I neglected to mention.

FAQ:
1.) How do I flash this on my device?
Use the "fastboot flash boot" command since I don't really have the time to support creation of a recovery flashable file. Optionally, you could also use the "fastboot boot" command to use the boot image temporarily which will reset to stock after a restart.
*also, this device does not have a custom recovery *YET* as of the time of this thread's creation
2.) How do I return to stock kernel?
Use the "fastboot flash boot" command using the stock boot image I provided in another thread here.
3.) Will you be releasing frequent updates?
Right now I don't see anything else needed to improve this kernel as I am quite satisfied with it. You could post suggestions BUT they must have MINIMAL USER INTERACTION or will only seek to enable editing of certain values.
4.) How do you verify that it flashed correctly?
Well, if it booted after fastboot showed the "writing" dialog, then it should be ok already. If you're ultra paranoid that maybe fastboot is lying to you or the NSA doesn't want you to know that it didn't overwrite the stock kernel which contains their secret spy stuff that wants to know how frequently you exercise you could enter the ff. command through adb:
cat /proc/version
and the kernel should show #7 and intersectRaven there together with the date that the kernel was compiled which is what I use to indicate the release.
5.) I see two files at the link above. What should I flash?
In the site you'll see single.boot.img, dual.boot.img, multi.boot.img and wifi.multi.boot.img. This indicates how many cores are enabled by default upon boot and if it's wifi ROM ready. If you're a heavy user, you might want to go with dual.boot.img so that you have 2 cores available or maybe multi.boot.img so that it'll adjust to at most 4 cores WHEN NEEDED. If you just use your watch for notifications and want maximum power savings, use single.boot.img.
6.) What about the wifi.multi.boot.img?
This is mainly for an ALREADY MODDED ROM (by Tasssadar) OR the URBANE ROM. With this, when you flash you won't need to rerun the update.zip provided by Tasssadar. Again, ONLY RUN THIS ON AN ALREADY MODDED ROM. If you flash this then run Tasssadar's Mod, you WILL encounter errors.
6.) If I flash the single boot image am I stuck forever with just one core being enabled?
No. If your watch is rooted, you can enable a core (even all 4 if you wish) through adb. The boot images are merely separated for bootup default convenience.
7.) How do you enable WiFi?
Go here.
8.) How do you convert a partition to F2FS?
a.) Download the mkfs.f2fs file here.
b.) Download a custom recovery somewhere and boot it.
c.) Push mkfs.f2fs somewhere. (tested on /sbin directory)
adb push mkfs.f2fs /sbin/
d.) In adb, issue a mount command to find the partition you wish to format.
*note, you can only format cache and userdata partitions and IF you choose to format the userdata, that's equivalent to a factory reset
adb -> mount
e.) Issue the ff. command replacing the X part with the partition you wish to format:
mkfs.f2fs -l X
e.g. mkfs.f2fs -l cache /dev/block/mmcblk0p20
f.) Reboot.
OR use this modified TWRP by lion567!

I see you disabled secure booting, any idea how to get this device rooted? I made a kernel myself and disabled secure booting but I can't seem to figure out the root shell part, I pushed su to /data/local/tmp and set permissions but I still cant move it to system/bin..... frustrating

I didn't disable secure boot I only replaced the kernel with my own. The ramdisk is exactly the same with stock. As for rooting, it's a bit tricky now due to SELinux being enabled. You could try disabling SELinux but that isn't really recommended. Also, I don't think modifying the system partition is good practice. You could just put it in the ramdisk so that it's recognized immediately as being "inside". I'll try and look into it further when I have time. I'm still looking at the battery consumption of my latest kernel for a few days so I can't modify until then.

What do you mean by putting it in the ramdisk so its "inside"? I tried to do something like that with rootsh but it didn't work. Also when I unmkbootimg'ed your kernel it had stuff from dory, isn't dory the regular lg g watch? We are lenok? I know a lot of the stuff is the same, the main goal I want to do is root so I can increase the vibration motor, but if I can't accomplish root easily I will be forced to make my own custom system.img with the modified values...... that would be a pain to be able to share it.

Are you pertaining to the ramdisk or the kernel? I double-checked the ramdisk and there isn't any dory in there. As for the kernel, I used the lenok_defconfig so I don't really know if there is dory in there as well although they are derivatives so might be. I read your post in the other thread and it doesn't really need root to modify. You just need to give the user permission to those parameters so it can be changed through adb.

I think the last time I did that I edited something in ueventd or something and not init.d although you could do that also. I'll have to check on what's the current best practice as I don't really like editing the ramdisk too much.

We'll have root eventually as more devs get the R but as of this time, no root yet!
*Personally, I don't get the point of rooting the watch as it's got huge limitations (battery, screen, controls, etc.) that I don't see the point...but that's me...

No its not, strength and duration are two totally different setting files and methods in the kernel driver. It also has braking_ms which is the gap you notice in between vibrations.

The duration is what causes the motor to accelerate more and be more strength.... more duration=more strength (Until maximum possible).
/sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/amp
/sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/driving_ms
this is the files to change (we need root)

You listed two files. Go look in the kernel and look at the driver. Amp is related to the gain and the gain is in mV i believe. Of course increasing the duration will also make it feel stronger so increasing both helps.

I looked at doing this but it seems SELinux is going crazy and not recognizing attempts to override the sysfs protection so we either really need root, disable SELinux altogether (don't like), or set it in the kernel (no user override which I don't think people like).

Yep it's in mV with a range of 0 - 100.

My ADB cant find the watch. My thought is that it is because computer cant find drivers to the watch when I connect it. Where can I find usb-drivers for my watch?

[Module][v4.1] ViPER-FX **Discontinue**

COLOR="Red"]This thread will discontinue, Now I'm published my new mod's thread under Magisk, that mod includes Whole new ViPERFX app and many other mods and upcomings so From now everybody please follow this thread below:
[Module] ViPERFX
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/viperfx-t3667145[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
Introduction:
ViPER4Android is very popular audio mod around the world of Android and probably the best audio mod ever made. But there is so many complexity ViPER4Android couldn't go further through, so I wish "ViPER-FX" could be a project to let our beloved ViPER4Android step in advance. Original V4A details at ViPER4Android Official forum.
Modifications:
+ Based on ViPER4Android v2.5.0.5
+ New Material UI and Icon
+ App rotation enabled.
+ Default install as system app to prevent task kill.
in MIUI or some rom could be installed as user-app
for IRS compatibility [Experimental]
+ The zip edition includes apk.
Recommendation:
* Magisk Manager, Framework installed.
* Android 5.0+
* To update from ViPER-FX v4.0 (v4.0 only) first remove it.
How to install?
* Flash the zip using Magisk Manager or Custome recovery.

@metaspook
Can you delete V4A app inside "\system\priv-app\ViPERFX" in next release? Because if V4A app installed inside /system/ there will be no sound improvement by IRS. Tested on my device running MIUI rom, dunno on other rom.
I use sepaker & many times change the IRS, but no sound improvement.

Do u'v installed Magisk n flash the zip through it?
B'cz this is a whole new way to dealing with system.
If u did but after that also don't work let me know.

Yes bro, i already used magisk long time ago.
Recently compared with V4A original (installed as user app /data/app/) & V4A module by topjohnwu, my device can read IRS and has sound improvement.
I don't know this issue is MIUI related or not, but I always get that issue if V4A app installed as system app (/system/app or /system/priv-app).

OK I'll release next update separately..

I can't tell whether or how this differs from the existing V4A module offered by topjohnwu.

Cool. I'd like to try this out. I just had some questions:
1. What do these commands do:
Code:
/data/magisk/sepolicy-inject --live -s mediaserver -t mediaserver_tmpfs -c file -p read,write,execute
/data/magisk/sepolicy-inject --live -s audioserver -t audioserver_tmpfs -c file -p read,write,execute
2. Why are the following folders blank?
Code:
system/etc
system/lib/soundfx
system/vendor/etc

1. It helps to keep Viper FX alive in SELinux enforcement.
2. Into these directories necessary files will be extracted or pulled from original /system.

Oh. I didn't think to check in the update-binary. It feels like this is a complicated script for sure:
Code:
# Push files
unzip -oq $ZIP "system/*" -d $MODPATH
unzip -pq $MODPATH/system/priv-app/ViPERFX/ViPERFX.apk assets/libv4a_fx_jb_$DRVARCH.so > $MODPATH/system/lib/soundfx/libv4a_fx_ics.so
ui_print "[OK] Pushing files."
# Config files modification.
for X in /system/etc/audio_effects.conf /system/etc/htc_audio_effects.conf /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf; do
cp -af $X $MODPATH$X
sed -i '/v4a_fx {/,/}/d' $MODPATH$X
sed -i '/v4a_standard_fx {/,/}/d' $MODPATH$X
sed -i 's/^libraries {/libraries {\n v4a_fx {\n path \/system\/lib\/soundfx\/libv4a_fx_ics.so\n }/g' $MODPATH$X
sed -i 's/^effects {/effects {\n v4a_standard_fx {\n library v4a_fx\n uuid 41d3c987-e6cf-11e3-a88a-11aba5d5c51b\n }/g' $MODPATH$X
done; ui_print "[OK] Config modification."
Does this mean that if I uninstall this mod, Viper is completely uninstalled without any changes present in my entire device? If so, it's a pretty good implementation.

Nice! Works just fine on my Nexus 6. Will this be submitted to the Magisk repo? Would be useful to have it in the manager...

1. The code I wrote looks a bit complicated but its for to reduce the size of the module (you can see I didn't packed the driver separately, codes are extracts those from the apk) and for more task will be done in less lines.
2. Yes.. obviously that's why using Magisk framework is so useful. It wont change anything in /system while installing nor in uninstalling your /system would be intact.

Actually I pushing the apk into the system cause if Viper install as user app in data, 3rd party or internal app killer kill it and Viper looses to output the effect even also when remove from recent list. but I have an idea if its just happens with your MIUI rom... can you give me your ROM's 'build.prop" file ???

Is not working for me, IS activated on Magisk Modules Install,
But V4A say "Install/Update now?", Samsung S5 G900m, Is rooted using SuperSU 2.79, Latest Magisk Manager/Installer,
I Installed this V4A why magisk "Refuses" to open Modules download page "No Modules Found", And i have to download manually from internet. (SafetyNet says RED, Root and Magisk is green in Magisk Manager)
V4A is installed as System App, And SELINUX is Permissive,
I Try to change V4A to user APP, But not working;

Yes you're right. But on MIUI (especially MIUI 8 on my device) i can control it. We can lock app into taskbar and turn off MIUI optimization for selected app by turn off background restriction. Those will prevent MIUI kill running app.
