He got a job doing android development full-time, and he is helping with some legacy stuff that the touched requires to work with 4.2, and will be helping on the kernel as well once development starts on that, or should be. But most of his help is done indirectly to the touchpad by legacy repos, which know in the long run helps me with this. He still uses his touchpad a lot and makes sure things work on it when testing :)
[TouchPad Development] futr_vision:
Just checking in to see where you are at with this. I have one Touchpad in need of an update and one new one that needs something other than WebOS :)

TIA
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Maybe run the toolkit on the new one for now - can always update it with the other one latter on. I have been using the current version as my daily for awhile - running pretty good overall.
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
I know.. I know.. It's been a long time.. But, I do have this build :) http://downloads.codefi.re/patrickc...ON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20130703-2049-tenderloin.zip

This isn't the build I want to be released, but after a vacation, turns out that Carbon doesn't support 4.2 on anything anymore.. So, guess what that means?! YES! I'm starting on 4.3 tonight! Not much works, but hey.. When we started this journey way back on SickleROM, not much worked either!

What you'll find broken in this build: Bluetooth (I know it was fixed, but i don't have my Carbon source anymore to update it), and there is some screen issues I never could track down the issue of.. They're random.

let me know what you guys think, and I'll post Carbon 4.3 here soon enough!
[TouchPad Development] SolarBlue:
Thanks, PatrickC for carrying the torch on this! Its great to see all the effort in keeping our devices current! I'll try flashing your build tonight.
[TouchPad Development] lev777:
Thanks for posting! Keep up the great work. Carbon is sweet.
[TouchPad Development] jsgraphicart:
4.3 you say? Can't wait to try it out.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Has anyone tried the download yet?

If so, besides bluetooth (which I don't use on the tablet anyway), what other issues have you noticed?
[TouchPad Development] detdett:
did you read the OP?
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Well guys, it's finally here... Haven't flashed it yet, but we've gotten to this point! Here's to hoping that it at least boots/runs. If it does, and isn't uber buggy (I.E. it's as functional as the CM10.2 ROM), I'll post it here for download!

Package complete: /home/patrickc/ssd_storage/outs/carbon4.3/target/product/tenderloin/CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20130908-0456-tenderloin.zip

EDIT: IT BOOTS!!! :D

But, this build I will not be sharing. Only reason? Because I am cooking up a new build (that should have wifi, sounds, etc.)!!! Heres to hoping it works :)
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
The moment you've all been waiting for! Carbon 4.3!

There are many many bugs, like:

If you accept the above bugs, and realize that it might also bring thrumo-nuclear war to a small country full of cats in the Atlantic Ocean, then yes! You CAN download it! Go HERE!
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
I Flashed it and the first time I flashed the wrong gapps. ASOP keyboard kept force closing. Restored backup to CM10.1, downloaded 4.3 gapps. Reflashed with a clean wipe, keyboard problem gone. Restored apps with Tibu and everything I have tried works. Great job, thanks for your work.
[TouchPad Development] jerryatherton:
Used this tablet tonight for awhile. No force closes, WiFi is very stable, no sound, you tube will not work (maybe because the sound doesn't work). The moboot doesn't seem to be broken. I am not sure the carbon mods are working. They don't cause problems but i can't see what they change. Keep it up, i will stay with this awhile for to see how it turns out.

Edit/ camera doesn't work.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Anything new here ?
[TouchPad Development] loopytee:

[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Not much.

I am working on this slowly, but most of the issues have to do with things that need to be rebuilt, that are above my head.

So, until I can get with someone smarter than I who can help me debug, or someone like Cyanogenmod can merge them in, this hasn't moved much.

Re: [ROM][Android 4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[1-29-2013]

Just wanted to point out that that I've had no problems after I did a FULL WIPE. I wiped system factory and dalvik x3 each. Everything works great, best performing touchpad ROM yet. Thank you for your work I've been unable to get a booting touchpad ROM so far.
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Quick update on development guys.. We are in the process of moving everything from 4.1 to 4.2, and that transition might take a bit. I am not stopping development on 4.1 as of yet, and I'm still working on the camera (not sure what's wrong and holding it up yet, still looking into it). I hope to have a new version out soon with all the new camera/gyro/compass fixes in, but I will not give an ETA on it, as I don't have one.

Stay tuned here for more information on when the new version comes out, and keep those bug reports coming! :)
[TouchPad Development] arky33:
You guys rock, can't wait for a 4.2 release! In the mean time I'm flashing your alpha right away and I'll give you some feedback. Thanks a bunch :laugh:
[TouchPad Development] arky33:
I encountered that problem too but I eventually got around it. Even after full wipe/factory reset, the default boot option in Moboot still reads "Boot Cyanogen". If I let it try to boot that way, I get the Sickle loading image, which eventually freezes forever when the loading bar gets full. Manually selecting "Boot Sickle" in moboot solved the problem for me (tested 3 times).
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
That is an issue that we will have to look into how to solve. Removing the uImage for the CyanogenMod or any prior version of Android isn't the easiest thing to do, but something we are looking into.
[TouchPad Development] arky33:
This really isn't a major issue for me, I just noticed it on the first flash and after a reboot following the restoration of my apps using Titanium. Solid rom so far, very stable and fast, excellent work !
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
To make sickle boot as default in moboot:

In terminal emulator:

su

mount -o remount,rw /boot

echo "Sickle" > /boot/moboot.default

mount -o remount,rw /system

exit

This is assuming that sickle is the name of the uImage located in /boot.

To remove the CM boot from moboot, go into the /boot folder and delete the uImage for Cyanogen (uImage.Cyanogen).
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
SGA Roms cleaned the boot folder on install if you want to pm him or anybody can/should run update-remove-tga_images.zip to clean the boot folder first https://www.box.com/shared/s5ymwg3bs8zbyt0qmzgs I have given my link as I can't remember the goo link.

I trust this helps.

Re: [ROM][Android 4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[1-29-2013]

Thanks for this! I'll look into including this as part of the installation process!

Thanks! I'll look into this, and possibly talk to SGA (we've talked before)
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
No problem at all - always happy to help.

Also, for those users who aren't comfortable using terminal, you could always edit the moboot.default with a text editor to read "Sickle" (w/o quotation marks) to load Sickle as default from moboot.

Good luck with this ROM. If there's any way I can be of assistance, let me know - I'm no dev by any means, but I'm quite the tinkerer.

[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Guys, thanks for all the support! We just passed 200 downloads of the ROM in only a few short days, and I can't wait to release an update! (I'm still working on camera, giving me some issues right now)

Thanks again for all the support and I can't wait to see what more comes of this!
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
The cleaning occurs in the updater-script.in the ROM zip file.
[TouchPad Development] wqt0926:
any solution for that?? Or it‘s just my problem？
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
I honestly don't have any idea, if you're using a root explorer to change it, and the explorer isn't whining about not having root, then not sure why it's reverting on reboot.
[TouchPad Development] wqt0926:
i format /system and reflash ur rom, and download an app called LCD density Modder from play store, this app got root access and successfully change the Density(160 to 132), i reboot the pad and it got stuck after the mboot- -same as the last time i edit the build.prop with R.E explore , in every way this rom is perfect(i don't use camera often), just the density-changing issue is really an problem for my daily use.

Any way great work patrickc! Follow u since Liquidsmooth

Thanks. I'm not sure on the density changing thing, but I will look into that (it's something I never do, but I'll try and make sure to fix it :) )

We currently are using the stock CM kernel. Soon we will move away from that to using our own, custom kernel (and eventually a Linux Kernel 3 :) )

How does it compare with oats holiday release?
[TouchPad Development] arky33:
Hey, just a quick update, I won't be able to provide any more feedback as my TP somehow bricked yesterday during the big game lol. It's most likely not related to the rom, which worked great until I noticed the tablet suddenly died even though it was more than 80% charged. I did notice it was acting kinda sluggish in it's last moments and I remember thinking it might need a reboot but that's it, next thing I know it won't respond to anything. I'll try jcsullins latest TPdebrick later today, I might get lucky!

Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[1-29-2013]

I just wanted to keep you guys updated on the status of the Roman. I am still working on it. Camera is giving me some extra trouble, and we have started our move to 4.2, so that is taking up quite a bit of time. I'll post here with updates as I get them :)

In regards to oats or sga's, I've not used either of the ROMs, so I can't comment on it.
[TouchPad Development] Silencer96:
I can't wait to try out 4.2. You've done some excellent work so far. Keep us updated!

Guys,

I finally have a GOOD update on camera! IT WORKS! I will use the ROM today and tomorrow, and if all is well with it and I don't find any show-stopping bugs, I'll release tomorrow :)

I'm sorry, but I didn't have a chance to look into the LCD_density issue for this release, I was mainly focusing on camera as that was the one major show-stopper for many. I will look into this issue further and do my best to have it fixed in the next release (which should have all the gyro tweaks in it too)

[TouchPad Development] ibanezbass:
Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[2-7-2013]

After editing the build.prop, make sure that you set permissions to 644. That should fix the stuck bootloader.
[TouchPad Development] thefamousmoe:
After choosing the Sickle Rom boot option I can actually use the rom. Everything seems very smooth so far. However I cannot connect to the camera. I is there a certain app I should be using or is the stock camera supposed to be working? Thanks for all your hard work!
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[2-7-2013]

Are you using 1.0 or 1.1? Camera should have been fixed in 1.1.

I have a fix for the stray uImage files that will be in the next build :) also, Chrome doesn't seem to crash for me. Can you send me a log of it? And I've not experienced the lag on the home screen either.
[TouchPad Development] ibanezbass:
Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[2-7-2013]

The touchpad camera is known to come disconnected. If you are using V1.1 (check WebOS too) and you get no love from either OS , try shutting your tp down and firmly pushing down on both sides of the camera with your thumbs. Push hard enough to reseat the component under the screen.
[TouchPad Development] thefamousmoe:
I will try that and let you know. Also my gps is not finding a signal. Here is my logcat. Thanks again.

EDIT: I was able to get the camera working by reseeding it like you suggested. However the image is fuzzy, how crisp is the camera supposed to be? I I don't even remember anymore. Lol.
[TouchPad Development] ibanezbass:
Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[2-7-2013]

Update on 4.2, I've started full work on it tonight! I cannot promise anything right now, but I hope to have 4.2 soon. Also, I would like to announce a little merger. SickleROMs has merged with codefireX, and moving forward will be distributing under the codefireX name. We are still the same team, with the same goal in mind, just with broader resources now :)

Thanks guys! Can't wait to have 4.2 for you!
[TouchPad Development] prysme:
Hi patrick,

First, thank you for this great rom, so far I'm not getting any trouble with it. It smooth and the battery seems to be nice.

Just one thing about Chrome, the scrolling is stuttering, any idea on it ? it's almost unusable so I use the internal web browser.
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Chrome has had problems on the tenderloin since release, it's something that happens to me too. I'm going to look into it once I get 4.2 rolling, but it's existed for quite a while sadly :/ Not sure there is a fix for it..
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Quick update on 4.2, it is compiled! I have not tested it yet, and I am downloading it now. I will update if it boots/not, but it compiled! That's one step in the right direction! :)
[TouchPad Development] nomadman:
I've had 2 instances where my screen doe not respond to touch. Had to reboot. Only happened to this ROM. This is on a fresh install, not many apps, and no gaps installed.
[TouchPad Development] x000x:
curious, will 4.2 include the new one you mentioned? or is that sometime far down the line?

also,

this might not be relevant info anymore with 4.2, but are there still any quirks with the bluetooth? here are two examples from a few months ago with cm9 http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21871-ro...y-build-discussion/page__st__1350#entry700581 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34507771&postcount=2417
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
That has happened to me on multiple ROMs, not exclusive to mine. Not sure what the cause is on that. Need to research it.

We will still be using the CM kernel for now, getting 4.2 working is more important to us right now :) I'll take a look at those bluetooth patches too.
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[2-7-2013]

Little update on 4.2, It built, and compiled the zip perfectly fine, but won't flash. So there's still a ways to go before a public release, but we're getting closer :)
[TouchPad Development] ieen:
FYI: When changing the DPI to 120 on the ROM it will not boot.
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[2-7-2013]

i know that others have been having issues with DPI as well, it's something I'm looking into and hope to fix more toward 4.2 then 4.1, as 4.2 is my focus now. I'm not dropping 4.1, but less and less updates will come to it.

Still looking into the DPI issue though..
[TouchPad Development] ieen:
Sorry, didn't realise anyone had reported it. I probably wouldn't be too concerned about 4.1 right now as it is fully functional to my knowledge and concentrate on 4.2.
[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[2-7-2013]

yeah, 4.2 is my main focus, but there are a few more things I want to add into my 4.1 build before i call it "complete" :)
[TouchPad Development] ibanezbass:
Re: [ROM][4.1][WORKING SOUND] SickleROM Alpha 1[2-7-2013]

Once again, the issue is not the ROM. Jelly Bean does not play well with the permissions assigned to the build.prop when you change DPI. Simply reset the permissions to 644 after changing DPI and before rebooting. Using 120 DPI fine here.
[TouchPad Development] Trainer_H:

Yes, an update like that would be nice. That is why we're working on it. There will be no ETA given out by anyone on my team regards to kernels, or any other things. It's been stated several times in this thread, including the OP that we are working on a new kernel. It's coming, but there is NO ETA.

[TouchPad Development] PatrickC:
Quick update on development: we are one step closer to having a ROM, but we are also one step backward. While flashing an experimental ROM tonight I seem to have nuked either my partition table or the contents of a partition required to boot (I think I killed my /boot partition contents, and if this is what happened, easy fix.. Mostly) but that means development is on a temp hold while I fix it.

Thanks for the support and bearing with me!
