Best Flyer Rom...Ever!

Quick suggestions. Could you add a restart option to the power menu? Also the capacitive buttons (that don't work) light up all the time. Any way to turn them off without turning the tablet offf?

NexusFlyer Capacitive Button Light Work Around

Hey, I just figured out a work around for killing the backlights on the capacitive buttons. You can use this and not have to run LightFlow. You need busybox in addition to root. Here are the steps I used:

1) create a script with the following syntax:

#!/system/bin/sh

busybox echo 0 >/sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/button-backlight-portrait/brightness

busybox chmod 755 /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/button-backlight-portrait/brightness

I used "Root Explorer" and it's associated text editing functions.

2) Save the script; I saved in /sdcard (but I think it can be most anywhere for now) and just called it something like "0_Backlight".

3) Now you have to set the script to run at boot. I did this using an app called Script Manager (SManager). I think it can also be done by installing the script at /system/etc/init.d and setting the proper permissions; I am sure there is a guide here somewhere for that. Anyway, using Script Manager, I just opened the saved script from /sdcard and then clicked the "Su" button, and the "Boot" button (I also clicked the "Fav" button but I don't think that's necessary), then hit "Save". At this point, you can click on "Run" and then "As SU" to make sure the button lights turn off and your script is running correctly.

4) Reboot. The key backlights will first come on, but near the end of the boot process (sometimes it takes a minute or so after the home screen comes up) the button lights will go off and stay off.

After the script is properly embedded to run on start-up, I think, but I am not sure, that you don't even need Script Manager anymore. Someone correct me on this if I am wrong.

That should be it. You can uninstall LightFlow, unless you like it anyway (nothing against it for sure, it was the only app available that would kill the backlights at all!). I like this method because it is integrated into the system, somewhat, and doesn't rely on a third party app to run at boot. I hope this helps someone. I actually like this ROM at lot and would like to see someone pick this up, or Dexter's, on which this is based, and work out some of the few remaining bugs. I was sick of HC!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] htcflyerhc:
nice job i think you need to add to the script two more lines for landscape mode

busybox echo 0 >/sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/button-backlight-landscape/brightness

busybox chmod 755 /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/button-backlight-landscae/brightness

just one question did you know how can i set the clock speed to the value i want, because when i try to change the processor speed after i change the speed tab clock speed automaticaly goes to max and it drains my battery fast. Simple said the processor doesnt use my preffered speed values.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TheDroidsYoureLookingFor:
I think I was wrong in saying that SManager was not required any longer after initial setup. But, if you don't like having to run SManager, you can still set up to run on boot by manually installing the script into /system/etc/init.d.

I didn't include a command for the landscape buttons because they never turned on for me with this ROM anyway, but it would probably be a good idea to add those two lines anyway in case mine is a special case somehow.

Good question about processor speed. I have not really messed around with the processor speed settings. I seem to have decent battery life while I am actually using my Flyer, but it seems to drain really fast on standby. I have been just turning my tablet off when not in use; not too bad for me since it boots much faster than HC for me.

I am not sure either if my internal and external sdcards are mounting properly. I can access them both fine with Root Explorer, but I get random notification about memory issues and they don't display properly in system settings. I think much of this is over my head a bit at this point. (The only reason I was able to figure out the button lights is because they bothered me so bad that I HAD to do something!). BUT, like I said earlier, I really like this ROM for my Flyer and would like to see this or another JB ROM more fully developed. I am willing to contribute as best I can with my limited experience. The remaining bugs in this ROM that I am aware of are:

1) 3G/Phone issues - these don't affect me because I have the Wi-Fi only Flyer,

2) HD Video issues - Not a really big deal to me either, because with my declining eyesight, I really can't tell a difference on a screen this small,

3) Buggy rotation - I can live with this,

4) System Related Issues - may, or may not, haves issues with sdcard mounting and processor speed regulation issues - I would really like to see these addressed.

After using JB is on this device, I really don't want to ho back to HC, GB might still be an option.

Steve A

PS: I would also recommend installing XPosed Installer and take advantage of a lot of custom ROM features on whatever ROM you are using. Gravity Box is an excellent collection of tweaks for most phones; works well with this device and ROM and can be run under the XPosed framework. I won't go into detail (there is an XPosed thread somewhere on XDA) but XPosed runs at boot and interjects changes in the system without making any permanent changes to your OS. Another reason I don't want to go back to pre-4.0 system, but I do think XPosed has been ported to run on GB...

Ok so first i wan'na apologize for being away from the internet again. But the good news is that is spent these last six months learning about programming. So i learned all the basics and some advanced functions in c++, java, the HTML code and more. And now I have been working on ki kat rom for the flyer. And i can't make any promises but i've made some progress and it's really hard since there is no device tree or not even CM or AOSP are supporting the Flyer. But I don't know weather this will work and if there is any update i will post it here immediatly.

Another thing. I decided to open a channel on Youtube where there we together can discuss things about programming, i will try to post as much videos as I can because now I'm busy as hell with the end of the school year and all that b.s. Also when I have free time I will publish some videos about other stuff like gaming and other things. So if you wan't you can check out my channel here there are currently 0 subscribers now and unfurtionalty not too many views. At the moment i have only one video that I made just for fun it's about the backstory of bioshock infinite if you're a bioshock fan i really recommend checking it out. I will try to publish a video regarding programming tomorrow so stay tuned. Thanks very much for your patience and support. The wizard sends you regards.

Well, I AM unlocked (revolutionary s-off method), and I'm using Doomlord's CWM. Is it correct that I need to flash the extracted boot.img from the rom from my pc? And can I still use my current recovery to flash the rest?

Also, in what order should I do this?

Which one of these would be correct:

A) First wipe /system, /data, and /cache in CWM, then flash this new JB rom, THEN go into fastboot mode and manually flash the new boot.img....

Or:

B) First, go into fastboot mode and manually flash the new boot.img, THEN booting into CWM, where I'd then be formatting /system, /data, and /cache, then flashing this JB rom last...

Are either of those the correct method? (Once again, I'm assuming I have to do the new boot.img manually, even though I used revolutionary instead of HTC's method?)

Any help from anyone would be MOST appreciated...

And just to verify, I DO have to flash the boot partition by hand?

Thanks...as mention elsewhere I realized I had to make a full wipe within the Aroma installer, that did the trick.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yourbrotherrex:
I think this is where the confusion is coming from. Even in this OP, it says "if you unlocked your bootloader, you have to flash the boot manually".

^That's basically saying if you're s-off, you have to use fastboot to flash the boot.img.

But then you're saying "Dude, if you're s-off, there's no need to flash the kernel afterwards...didn't you read the guides?"....

Well, I'm just gonna go ahead and say that "the guides" are misleading, or backwards, or whatever...

This is how I understand it, and how it worked on my other HTC devices (someone please tell me if I'm wrong.):

If you used HTC's method for rooting, your bootloader with show as unlocked, while still having the signature lock (s-on), so you CAN install a recovery and flash custom roms, but anything having to do with the boot.img (kernel) will NOT flash through, so you'll blackscreen unless you flash the boot.img manually, using the fastboot method.

If, however, you did NOT use HTC's method, and have full root with a signature-off bootloader (s-off), then you can flash the entire rom normally from your custom recovery, and every partition will be written correctly, even the boot partition, so any new kernel that's part of a new rom will "take" just fine...

Is all of that correct?

(Because, if it is, not only were the instructions that were just given to me a couple of posts back wrong, the instructions in the OP of this very thread are wrong, and so are many more 'instructions for flashing' all over the Flyer section.)

**Not trying to step on toes here, just want to clear this up, and hopefully save someone (myself included) the extra headache of having to use fastboot when it's unnecessary.

Edit: So, just FYI for anyone that's reading, even with the instructions I was given on which order I had to use fastboot to flash the boot.img manually, I decided to just flash normally (since I'm s-off), straight from CWM, like any rom on any device. Worked perfectly, no fastboot necessary. Sometimes, I guess it's okay to just use your own head if the instructions seem wonky.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] PVL_93_RU:
Ok, I'll say it in short:

S-ON: Locked bootloader, only stock, nothing can be flashed from recovery or from the command prompt

S-ON UNLOCKED: Unlocked bootloader, you can flash signed packages through the recovery, flash a custom recovery, but you cannot flash new hboot or radio neither from the recovery or command prompt.

After you flashed a custom ROM - you NEED to flash the kernel manually

S-OFF - you can flash everything from anywhere, and there's NO need of flashing the kernel after installing a custom ROM
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yourbrotherrex:
Thanks for clearing this up; (I knew there was a reason I went the s-off route...saves me from having to do things separately..) Good to be sure all HTC devices DO work the same....this lesson has apparently gotten mistrued throughout this forum.

Really, thanks again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Quistnix:
I'm quoting myself here, but I found the solution to the GMD Gesture Control problem and I want to share the solution in case somebody else gets the same trouble.

Turns out, all I needed to do was setting "Override touch event parser detection" on the "advanced"-tab to "HC_DEFAULT"

Back to my original question: would it be possible to get the hardware/capacitive buttons working again? In some apps I prefer to hide the bottom bar and I'd love to be able to use the buttons to navigate.

On Dexters rom this worked by installing phone ui and setting lcd density to 120, but that's no option here..
