Congratulations, but... Just because you got it to boot doesn't mean that our device can fully support KitKat's features. It simply means that you got it to boot.

As I stated in another thread for another device, people's priorities change. Nothing wrong with that, that's the way life is. [MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION] has come a long way since I started following his work over at AndroidCentral, long before he came here. I don't blame him or dislike him for wanting to move on. Granted, I don't use this device anymore, though I still have it for use as a test device. There will be someone else who comes along to lend a hand. Patience please. KitKit was release what, 2 months ago at the most? There is going to be a lot of work involved to get KitKat running fairly smoothly on this device, as it was for JellyBean too.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
Hey I agree with you that this is not working fully on our device but atleast we have got success to flash and boot, earlier it was very frustrating while flashing. I am not criticizing and blaming anyone, I mean to say we should never gives up untill fully try. I too appreciates [MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION] works and know he is one of the best developer here but I am not agree to just give up if you have moved to another device.:) and if we looks at him for help, just because we love his work and contribution here. apology to [MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION], if it hurts.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Hey, you changed the set_metadata type permissions to set_permissions in updater script. This has been done previously, but full boot to OS was not achieved. I do want to see if we've lost any functionality due to the different types of permissions used. But this is definitely a step towards success. Kudos. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Bonoboo:
[MENTION=5396524]mukulsoni[/MENTION], thanks for info.

Replaced that files, wipe, flashed, waited 15 minutes then tried again, waited 10 minutes.

Stuck on bootanimation, in logcat repeating same errors: no libs, no HAL.

Wondering what was wrong in steps.

Also lags can be related to no-sim bug. Maybe helps enabling airplane mode.

For me doesn't works too :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zogu:
Last two hours I tried:

1. Flashing with latest recovery using recovery --update_pacakge - failed, it doesn't even start to flash (empty tmp etc...)

2. Flashing manually with same non-working recovery using updater-script binary (copied to tmp and then: updater-script 3 whatever /sdcard/update.zip) - failed because of SElinux permissions (it fails on /xbin/vim).

3. Also tried with recovery longer then our partition (fastboot boot recovery.img), it boots into recovery, buttons does not works, but flashing command works, also failed with status 7

At this moment there is no recovery with kernel compiled with SElinux permissions for our device. Actually SElinux permissions are for ext filesystem, i didn't read how this affect yaffs2 filesystem, is it possible at all?

Didn't try method from [MENTION=5396524]mukulsoni[/MENTION], i want to flash it as it should be flashed because without that we don't know what are real bugs, and what is because of permissions ;)

Also [MENTION=1257498]mikul[/MENTION]soni, in one of recovery there is no /storage/sdcard0 folder. /sdcard is linked to that folder and sd can't be mounted. Maybe this is also bug in booted rom, try to create it manually and check does sdcard work.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] edinrh:
Yep, it boots like [MENTION=5396524]mukulsoni[/MENTION] says..! no sdcard work, no network(no wifi, no 2g/3g, no bluetooth, still unusable), i cant take screenshots( cm11 dont have included that option yet)

Please, can someone share CWM / TWRP backup of 4.4 for further testing?

As described before not all can install it using standard method due unknown reasons.

Hey, download the flashify app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify and install the TWRP zip through this. I am attaching herewith TWRP 2.6.3.0. :good:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marrduk:
I think, he meant he needs backup of the ROM , you successfully booted, to restore this backup on his p500 through CWM/TWRP.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
[MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION] -- simply great to hear from you after all this time, even on a pessimistic note!

Let us go back a bit. A great dev posted that he would absolutely not support JB on our device. It would not fit and the hardware would not run it.

I could not dispute on the HW, but after I quickly and easily freed 50meg on /system using his ICS ROM, the space issue was mute. JB would certainly fit. The idea of trimming the ROMs and installing user-installable gapps as user apps was born.

With much work from you and other brave devs, most of the HW problems were solved or worked-around. OMX working, triple buffering, etc. We cannot convert an Armv6 chip to an Armv7 so this remains the main HW problem :) Google Now was hacked for ICS letting us use it as well, to some extent.

JB is alive and well on our device and the aforementioned dev has been a prime mover (for cm-11 as well!). I feared 4.3 might have hit the space limit but the problem was large Armv7-compiled libs on the gapps which were useless to us anyway. I have 20meg + free on system.

4.4 is larger still, but not inordinantly so. Yes, it will fit. And if we approach running out, there is that largely unused cache partition to where some larger components could be symlinked by the ROM's installer.

Question is what 4.4 has to offer us? We can have its UI right now. Do we need the enforcing selinux hassle? But we do want it, maybe because "it's there." That is why we are on XDA. Would I buy a newer device just to taste chocolate bars? Most unlikely. Could have already been chewing on a completely functional JB. With bluetooth and WIFI issues fixe, 4.3 might be ideal and I get great battery life (with aiding apps). I have already read articles in newspapers about KitKat's battery drain. But ... it's there! So ... onwards!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
After successful installation it will take 5-10 minutes boot time, if it not booted in that time, simply remove the battery and restart the device. Hope it will work.:highfive:

+1 [MENTION=4708203]Dovidhalevi[/MENTION]..:thumbup: atleast we r xda members:p

And its a great news getting kitkat to boot..good testing.. everyone...:D

But i assume hephappy got it booted evn before us bcz he have done commits on omx in cm11 branch..

Anyway its really a great achievement for this device which have been said incapable by certain devs..

Whole credits to Hephappy / Androidmeda [MENTION=3402462]ethem[/MENTION]Evlice

And on Cm10.2..

Developer ConOGriofa fixed wifitethering on samsung devices a few days ago..i hope hephappy will apply those patches to us too..

Its a great thing as native wifitether was broken on our devices from ics itself..:thumbup:

Just tried mukulsoni's method, but flashed rom with cwm recovery version 5.0.2.7. Yes, it's flashed with no error, but stucked on boot animation (blue robot) with moving circle arrow as in 4.3.1.

Will try again with cwm recovery version 6.0.4.5 by notonlyeyes.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marcomarinho:
I'm using TWRP v2.6.3.0, I download the lastest nightly and replace the updater-script & binary. Then made full wipe (unless sd card sure :p) and flashed it. Rebooted, waited 5~10 minutes, removed battery and tryed again. Waited 10~15 minutes and nothing then waited a little more and nothing :crying:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
I have tried this method 4 times and every time I got success in second boot (after removing the battery). :confused: I just did it 30 minutes back am I am still on the latest rom at present. DoTesting and trying to solve the lags.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marcomarinho:
Of course that I'm not saying that you're lying. I just can't get it boot. I will try once again :highfive:

Are you sure that It's only need to do this? can you upload your rom please?

But most important feature is ART, with ART enabled even nexus 4 works noticeable faster and it is very fast device.

Maybe our old p500 can be much smoother, all famous apps are till now ported to work with ART.

For me ART is the main reason for waiting to someone port kitkat to old devices, if it is possible at all.

what i miss, is that when i was first rooting my first phone ever, aka the p506. all i did, was hook it up to the pc and hit root, then flash a recovery trough the cwm app.

the htc first....

its like unlock bootloader, then flash a boot and recovery using comand prompt on the computer, then flash super user, then flash some other thing to turn securtiy off, then relock the boot loader, each step has like a billion sub steps....ugh haha

I think it's just final build due CM 10.2 branch.

Would be nice get this true final due our device specific bugfixes.

And in this build still no Wi-Fi hotspot and BT.

That commits related to Samsung devices and not (?) merged.

Developer and performance options now not hidden.

Navigation bar (buttons) very thin. And no option to resize it as was before.

List here.

Also from third try can't launch CM11 as described before.

Now without SIM- and SD-cards, with interrupt first loading.

This goes back a long way but so does the problem: I recall placing an iwconfig executable on /system/bin or xbin and using an init.d script to reduce the transmitted power of wifi. Did not see or do any testing to see if it really helped or hindered, but this workaround was the only show in town. I believe there was a small app to play with it as well.

3. Navigation bar and its buttons sizes are thinner compare to CM-10.2-20131130-NIGHTLY. It's already posted by Bonobo. Like it, since it's fit with tiny screen of p500 :cool:

4. UI texts are smaller, at least as appeared on latest TB.

IDK it's because of the recovery or our device doesn't meet with minimum spec's requirement for the Android 4.4 (already updated to 4.4.1 for Nexus 5; read this: http://plus.google.com/+Nexus/posts/YW8sTPpVN8W and this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-4-1-update-for-the-nexus-5-now-live/ ).

IMHO, in fact you're success to flash the CM11 by using TWRP 2.6.3.0 (even is not the latest for p500), booted but can't run as it should be.

I'm afraid what Rashed97 said few pages back was right :crying:, No KitKat for p500. :p. (Sorry no offense). So ATM stick on CM-10.2 and waiting for its final release. :)
