play around with the settings at performance control
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
Any new release?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
Will delay every release i plan for 1 day for everytime someone asks for an ETA.

sounds fair to me :P
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
12th November 2013 - Nightly

Tested on my device, though use on your own risk, like always :)

http://d-h.st/p4C

Includes a new Launcher, newest sources, newest Velox Control (experimental as well).
[LG Optimus Black] Dumbelek:
Thank you Alex.

OC kernel also works :)
[LG Optimus Black] ptxpaulo:
Greetings Alex,

I have tried almost all of your ROM releases.

I always give up, after the bluetooth problems (because I use hands free bluetooth in my car).

Anyway, i enjoy to try new things and I installed latest release again.

Hope I can give you some ideas...

The KitKat apps (in the forum) work very well with your ROM.

Except some exceptions...

But, here it goes.

I have Velox ROM with Google Home (sweet), Google Galery (with online pictures), Google Keyboard, Google Keep, and Google Hangouts (for SMS).

Google Camera (same as yours) I replaced with LG Camera (works well).

Hope this can give you some ideas:)

Regards,

[MENTION=315502]EViS[/MENTION]ceron: a question, your git source about Standard Kernel at https://github.com/Evisceration/lge-kernelsniper/ working ? is it the base of your OC kernel? I would like to introduce some improvements in your kernel, can i use this base?
[LG Optimus Black] mint-an:
nice new world

nice new recovery, nice new rom

confirming that new recovery is working with unlocked bootloader :)

maybe it is just me, but i thing rom getting faster with every release

keep up great work your doing

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

this https://github.com/Evisceration/lge-kernel-sniper/tree/alex

is base kernel that gets merged into

oc kernel https://github.com/Evisceration/lge-kernel-sniper/tree/alex-oc

only oc kernel has overclock

so you should take oc kernel as base
[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
Ok but my p970 doesn't work with oc kernel, so i would like to start from the base and add all improvements to have a kernel compatible with all p970
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
the alex branch only has a little GPU Overclock, which isnt causing problems, you can use that branch as base.

the alex-oc branch is the same as the alex branch, it only has different voltages and frequencies, the OC itself.

so you should use the "alex" branch as base.

------------------

hows the update?

how you like the new launcher?
[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
thanks Evi ;) :good:

I'll try also to add bigmem and other governator as ondemand+ by boype (the better for me)

Another question: do you compile your kernel with ndk or linaro?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
Linaro

Ondemand i dont really like.

it sets the highes frequency when you do something and slowly lowers the frequency, until you interact with the phone again, really battery wasting.

but feel free to play around with it, once you have something to publish, ill link to it then :)
[LG Optimus Black] jobzsparrow:
I can't add and save APN setting in Version 1.0.6.1

seem APN added is ignored :(
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
Im feeling hungry, who else?
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Well it's 3:21 so you missed lunch?

Just kidding. Good job.

Whats bugs did KitKat bring us?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
Had to battery pull a lot and it always reset my time, but now im eating a kitkat ;P

i had no time yet to test it, though i will build again once home, try if it boots and upload here, so everyone can test him/herself.

until that, some teasers.

btw, its ultrasmooth :D
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
Great job.

2 Questions:

1. Is this build based on official CM11?

2. Is notification bar transparent like nexus 5?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
yes

yes
[LG Optimus Black] BlackPie:
Kewl,Great work!But a request,can you build one without other apps,e.g performance control,Velox updater,etc..Would like to have the most Vanilla experience as possible.If not,then nevermind.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
for pure vanilla feeling, go and build AOSP, needed patches are on my github / missing ones will be up by evening :)
[LG Optimus Black] BlackPie:
Hahaha,you're a funny guy,I can't build for anything.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
havent you released a rom for p970?

maybe my eyes just played me a trick but i seem to connect you somehow :D

nevermind, a pure cm-11.0 build will be up a bit later, though i am adding Performance Control and the boot animation, as i already prepared all for it :p
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
Those stuff are part of Velox Rom. I can't imagine of this Rom without those things.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
Experienced bugs:

Sdcard doesnt work

Camera doesnt work

ART doesnt work, if you change from Dalvik to ART the device wont boot up, you need to factory reset and flash the rom again.

Also SELinux is enforced, it may break some apps, in that case just open a terminal and do

to set it to permissive.

building a fresh build, testing, uploading
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
These are cm11 bugs... right?

if sdcard does not work, how do i install apps?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
can be or not.

we can only wait until cm starts to ship nightlies and gets more and more stable, after that i can see better if they are only caused by the porting process or by cm itself.

// Edit

DO NOT FLASH WITHOUT A NANDROID BACKUP!

the upgrade to 4.4 upgrades databases as well and if you want to go back, you have to wipe your data.

so please take a backup before you flash this.

Also this is VERY EXPERIMENTAL, proceed on your own risk.

cm-p970-Velox-Nameless-1.0.6.2-experimental-20131113.zip - 169.29 MB
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
I can help with that one.

Did it ever work properly in a Custom ROM? Issues with app or drivers?

Camera takes home the most recurring bug award.

I don't know much about ART (only read a little bit of it and I couldn't find a technical specification), but if it's supposed to be native code (1) then you would at least need a kernel module for it? Or is it acting like a DvM to ARM asm converter?

Or can someone find the technical specification so I can read up about it?

(Most promising feature of KitKat award?)

And you probably did, but one has to cover the basics:

PRODUCT_RUNTIMES := runtime_libdvm_default
PRODUCT_RUNTIMES += runtime_libart
[LG Optimus Black] BlackPie:
Which GAPPS to flash?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
Yes and No, it worked partially, at least we got a screen. now we get nothing.

needs some review.

yes it is included in the build, but i dont know much about it, have to read about it too.

btw, why not Tipping this thread, to get back some thoughts to our device? :D

already tagged rmcc on a google plus post, the p970 is smooth on kitkat, would be nice to get back some support from real developers. :)
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
It would be nice to get official support back, but I don't think that is ever going to happen.

A few reasons for me saying that:

There used to be people (That didn't understand the word nightly or use at your own risk) that flamed custom ROMs left and right just because of bugs that the developers didn't have time to fix or needed access to proprietary sources to fix it (yes you can reverse engineer stuff, but it's a 100X more work and with proper sources it can be fixed in a day and with reverse engineering you can work a month on something and get nowhere) and the CM threads got the worst of it. And it naturally reflects badly on the official cm maintainer of the ROM even thou all he did was work hard to improve the user experience of the P970 users.

Then there's the developers. There were a lot of bugs that were present in official CM that were fixed or worked around that were never reported. Arcee can't spend all his time looking at new threads or developments and it's practically no effort to send the code/patch/workaround to cm so that can incorporate your contribution (That's the whole point of Open Source in the first place). Needless to say there wasn't a healthy relationship between our xda devs and Arcee. Which made collaborations a bit difficult.

(Did you submit the race condition patch to CM? I can't find it in their gerrit)

(Also no one ever bothered to send the patch that uses the macros to force kernel cmdline instead of changing the string at runtime - remove unnecessary process at startup, remove 250+ lines of code, correct kernel cmdline regardless of what bootloader what used... It's quite significant as well)

Then there's the fact that this is a small and shrinking community. You have the only updated ROM here in the development section and scarcely have 50 thanks (Yet somehow almost 300 downloads of your ROMs, Atleast 200 ungratefull people or 50+ people who don't think downloading it once is enough, depending on your point of view)

And there's the fact that our HW manufacturer is out of the SoC bussiness. (Not that they were going to support it if they still where)

Arcee also supports a lot of devices (but I think he can take some time to work on older devices rather than his fridge - :p)

And that's about it.

...And I still have about 40min left before my download completes ;)

Can anyone back me up on this. II think it's just us and the defy group that doubled our starting android version (2.1/2.2 -> 4.4)
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
that about flaming i can totally understand, i got flamed and disrespected by many people too (should i tag you guys or you realize it yourself? funny how silent you are now, where you insulted me daily when i started velox)

i have seen many developers dropping support for beeing disrespected, like maclaw and the galaxy ace.

whatever, i get what you mean and i doubt theres more need to discuss that topic.

// Edit

about the downloads, look yourself.

attached it here.

no i didnt submit the gerrit, i just forgot and also i doubt they will add it, i have seen important submits laying around for months, just because the devices where not the very latest ones. (S3? who needs that s**t? S4 is newer! [kind of like that])

if they are out of business, why arent they releasing all proprietary sources to the community? i know it may be bad making it puplic for their rivals, but if they are out of this business, why should they care and not release it?

fridge? how ... respectful haha :D

have fun, but its not fully usable if you want to use it for daily use (use use use) but for helping me debugging, or even working on yourself to fix stuff, its awesome ;)

i think for example the Ace did this as well.
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
I can't use the 4.4 version because of sdcard problem.

but I would like to ask for some screenshots from home screen, settings, etc

would you do that for me?

//Edit:

Here in GSIII mini forum, they successfully managed to port CM11 to their device but they have SDcard problem too. (look at issues list)
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
I can kind of see their reasoning, but for those of us who can't afford to be up to date with the newest HW it's always hard.

I don't think they own the rights to it. They used other companies components. They pretty much just connect everything together.

It'll be to play around, debug and attempt to fix stuff without source. I use stock for daily use (We'll slightly modified stock ;)).

The download died in the middle. I'll try and download it again tonight (I generally get better connection then).

Okay then. One of three :D
[LG Optimus Black] blackcodetech:
flash cwm 6.0.4.4 but when device star write screen ''LG secure error''
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
I guess your bootloader is locked.
[LG Optimus Black] blackcodetech:
lg cwm installer is unlock the bootloader. right?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
im too lazy to take screenshots, so i did a video (i noticed i somehow got blood on my fingers? have to cut that out before i upload the video, so give me some time :P)

i will debug that a bit later, first letting xonar_ take a look :D
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
your bootloader is unlocked, you have to unlock it, before you can flash recoveries, a guide is somewhere here in the forum, a searchbox is up at the top right and just waits for you :)
[LG Optimus Black] Coldstream:
Wow didnt expect to see a build so quickly, thanks man! :)

Just to be sure before im gonna flash it later tonight, i need to update the CWM first right?

Also, do i need to flash a seperate gapps or is this included in the rom?

Thanks again for your dedication!
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
my pleasure :)

yes you need, just use Velox Control to flash the new recovery or do it manually :)

you would need Kitkat gapps.

but BE AWARE

this is highly experimental, more a proof of concept.

i dont recommend it for daily use, one main reason because the SDcard doesnt work (as of now, it will come, im sure :D)

other reasons are posted at first post.

im currently doing a video to showcase it on our phone, uploading it.

Here it is :)

glad you like it :D

youre here since the beginning, thats what i really respect :)

i wanted to take a break today, but because i want you all to deliver KitKat really fast, im researching right now.

keeping you updated :)

// Edit

Doing a clean build, takes some time again.

// Edit 2

Ok, HW audio encoding / decoding still doesnt work.

EGL seems to be stable, but needs more and extensive testing though.

ill wait for some source pushes by cyanogenmod, also reading through the gerrits on this world and picking good looking stuff :P

// Edit 3

its somehow funny, everytime i look at the left on my thanks meter, it goes up, but i dont see any posts of mine, which have more thanks than before.

the mysterium of xda haha

// Edit 4 [MENTION=4669225]xonar_[/MENTION] anything yet?

playing around with FUSE and the ramdisk to get the sdcard somehow working.
[LG Optimus Black] BlackPie:
Huh,I managed to flash 1.0.6.2 successfully with CWM 5.8.1.3 :laugh:

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

Alright so bugs,

1.Hangs on doing anything audio-related such as changing volume and ringtone.

2.Google voice search will crash when trying to use it.

3.Launcher3 will crash when trying to change wallpaper.

4.Not so ultrasmooth unfortunately.

Will report more if there is more.Good work Evisceration!
[LG Optimus Black] ouroboros12:
wow, 4.4 build!! im looking forward for it :D im at velox 1.0.5.3, pretty old huh, but stable enough for me. :) thanks man!!

edit: how about you contact quarx? :) defy has TIOMAP chipset too
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
because i hacked our way in, backported the update-script ;p

as also seen in the video and it is ultrasmooth ;)

yes pretty old ;p

you will laugh but i did already, but communication failed.

whatever, it works now :p
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
I highly recommend you to upgrade to latest nightly (Evisceration named it "nightly" but the fact is that this version is the most stable one from beginning! ) I guess its about 15% faster than 1.0.5.x. :good:
[LG Optimus Black] hendry1239:
So how are things on the use of the battery?
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
I don't have any drain (or any other) problem.
[LG Optimus Black] cemshit:
i had problems with viber, my friend wasnt hear me. can u test viber guys? cus its really important for me
[LG Optimus Black] tramp20:
Do I have to flash the new CWM 6.0.4.4 over my old one (v5.0.2.6)?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
you need to give more information like which version of the rom you are using etc.

if you use kitkat, thats in active development right now and not recommend for daily use.
[LG Optimus Black] tramp20:
I wanted to flash your latest nightly cm-p970-Velox-1.0.6.2-20131112-nightly.zip over cm-p970-Velox-Nameless-1.0.6.1.zip.

So no Kitkat :)
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
the information was for the person which posted before you (thats why i quoted him) :D

you dont need to flash the new CWM, its just optional but good looking ;)

a normal flash should be enough :)
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
No. but its recommended.
[LG Optimus Black] cemshit:
i had this problems all of ur roms man. i didnt test kitkat already. im waiting a stable version of kitkat now and i wanted to tell u this problem on viber, i will glad if u fix it
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
then the right answer would be "i am using velox 1.0.x.x and have this error, here are some logcats while i used viber and it didnt work, i hope you see whats wrong and causing viber calling not to work in the logs"

im not a wizard and fortune teller, but maybe i should hire one to help me here :P
[LG Optimus Black] BlackPie:
Oh yeah,in the KK nightly,there are some random reboots(Maybe segfaults?)Reverted back to chewy JellyBean temporarily while waiting for a new omnomlicious version of KitKat :good:
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
keep in mind, its just a "proof of concept" and not something you should use for real, just for having a quick look :)

yes sometimes it reboots due to system crashes, most of them are caused by cm's undone merges and segfaults.

cm didnt even officially release cm-11.0 yet, not even nightlies. so please wait a bit :)

// Edit

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53324/

looks interesting

// Edit 2

cherry-picked and reworked the p970 patches.

it fixes the build (like the previous "dirty hacks") and keeps functionality for other device builds :)

https://github.com/Evisceration/android_frameworks_av/commits/velox44
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
And we have a camera ;)

// Edit

Audio works as well (at least when i change the volume via volume keys i can hear it)

// Edit 2

SDcard working :)

// Edit 3

Apollo plays music from my sdcard

[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
Would you please check H/W+ decoding on MX Player?
[LG Optimus Black] DaemonOnx:
dude...there are more important things to do than that.Stop "spamming" the thread every hour with useless questions.Wait for the new release and check what you are interested in and then report the bugs.Easy as that ^_^
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
First:

That is not spam.

Second:

I asked it because it is so much important for me. even more than calling function.

Third:

Being able to play videos is in direct connection with Camera.

Fourth:

Evisceration is the OP and I gently asked him, not U.

and one more thing:

Pls do me favor and show me one of my "useless questions" plus one of your "useful" ones. :eek:

-----

Sorry guys i didn't want to post it here but he is the one who started. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Just installed it a few moments ago.

Was just about to post a workaround for sdcard. (Something is stopping it mounting to /storage/sdcard0, mounting to a different directory fixes it, and now I changed something, but I don't know what and it's mounting to sdcard0 just fine now :confused:)

And I just found out the busybox on android contains a fully working implemntation of "vi" and vim is there, but segfaults :()
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
There are no stupid or useless questions, just stupid or useless answers.

who doesnt ask, wont learn anything :)

This is the development thread, please ask about such things in the general thread.

also i said HW encoding and decoding doesnt fully work yet, so H/W+ wont work on MX Player, and it is not connected to the camera.

the camera can fail while MX can just work fine and vice versa :)

it mounts at storage/sdcard0 at the new build im uploading atm :)

yes, noticed that too yesterday haha!

for me it didnt segfault, i got vi loaded?
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
As I said:

I'm sorry.

-----

I meant that if you have a working camera that can capture videos, you should be able to play it, otherwise having camera for some people might be useless. (Not everybody likes to move videos to PC and ....)

Another thing:

even on 4.3.1 H/W does not work (at least for me) but H/W+ works just fine. so maybe it works on 4.4 too.
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
auto-hackgicly(using mount command in a script, it caused a lot of problem with the ICS port from KU5900 most noticably the app on sdcards causing reboots) or properly (android storage handler - fixed reason that sdcard0 was marked as "busy")

vi works

vim doesn't
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
now youre only searching for excuses :P

if you just watch own recorded videos, MX without HW is fully enough.

yes, as most is proprietary, feel free to reverse engineer the blobs :)

https://github.com/Evisceration/and...mmit/9847c36d4f924b1cca21897f1d556ba9274dade1

havent tested vim though :D

// Edit

Second Build

http://d-h.st/Vyw
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Changing android:removable to false means you can't unmount it from storage menu. Is that needed?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
yes, its needed.

without it, i kept getting dismounts.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
oh, i tested it again and works without too. // but since i set it to removeable, mediaserver always crashes, reverting again and trying then again.

also wifi is fixed now.

uploading the rom again :) (two releases on one day, phew)

// Edit

here it is

btw, can anyone tell me, what he has at Settings -> Info -> Memory on NON KITKAT builds?
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
In your latest nigthly it is 436 MB. :)
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
436 MB in latest nightly
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
ok thanks.

451 MB in Kitkat builds as i lowered ION Size by 15mb :)

maybe doing a last 4.3.1 build today with my kernel changes and updated sources, kind of "Goodbye 4.3.1 Edition"
[LG Optimus Black] vsg24:
Thanks. but What is ION?
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
ION is the memory manager of android :)

i lowered the carveout from 35mb to 20mb.

if youre interested, here is more

[LG Optimus Black] bravokylee:
Thanks for the first experience of 4.4, one problem I found is the ringtone is FC when being setup. Anyone got the same issue? btw, how to connect computer with usb? seems no such choice in usb connection setup.
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
because of the media server, i reverted some changes to check somethig and forgot to revert the reverts :D

thats why ringtones force close, i think.

It uses MTP, not usb mass storage anymore, just plug it in and wait :)

// Edit

Ok, updated Velox Control for 4.4

Changes

Allows showing / hiding app icon in launcher, to launch it on other systems, where it isnt integrated into settings (like these experimental kitkat builds)

Fixed the Tasker

Added a FSTRIM Task, when enabled it FSTRIMS your partitions every specific time interval :)
