I will have another release up soon, but please refrain from posting it here before I get to explain things. Wouldn't want people's phones burst into flames haha..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
I wouldn't do it without testing it myself. I am currently running it on my phone. Guess what? It didn't burst into flames!!!!

But will respect your decision. Will not post in future.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Sorry, wasn't clear enough. You may post numbered versions (0.92,93) as I consider them stable enough. Now it is alpha3 that is being uploaded, and I wouldn't like for people to just flash it randomly as I consider it unstable, testing version:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
Understood. No issues. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
How many language in this ROM

Saw people HERE said just 1 language = English only... is it True ? Don't have chinese language ??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
Yes, it does. The default language is Chinese.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
I have problem with it, apps like xda ,news, imbd, live score, well all of apps that require internet , doesnt detect Wi Fi internet, always get pop up msg that there is no internet connection? And wi fi woks just fine on browsers. Any help ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Thanks for Infor，than this rom perfect to use？ how about battery life and game performance？

Thanks for Infor，than this rom perfect to use？ how about battery life and game performance？
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
Its not perfect, but it will get there. It has all the problems that cm10 has.

But, it is fluid and responsive. I don't game, so can't help you with that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
OK than i will wait latest version to get this perfect ROM soon，Thanks for reply and keep it up OP…;)

How about the Video recording sound quality？
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
How to install update ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
Its in szb format.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Are you installing this apps from a backup together with app data?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
The releases are coming in official szb format with userdata and cache erase switches on. While it might be an inconvenience due to erased data, it has advantages of not having bugs due to making only zip (dirty) update. There are usually bigger changes underneath that are not always compatible with previous release.

That said, when (and if) the ROM reaches 1.0 version, there shouldn't be such drastic changes between so I might consider removing the format switches.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Not sure what could cause it, haven't touched anything on the 'surface yet, too busy with the nuts and bolts keeping the system together:) Might be the just that defaults on the two apps are different? They both use same libraries, but the defaults them self might be off.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
Yes i did, anyway i have flashed update and all work great now. Amazing work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Glad you worked it out. Thanks! Can you do me a favor and check if headphones are working? Had some reports that they don't and would like to confirm it.

My phone runs patchwork constantly so I can't confirm without reflashing, thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
Regular headphones work on 0.92.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Thanks finch. It's hard to keep clear what is a bug and what not, now when the ROM is out. Did you test alpha3 per chance?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
Not yet. Will do this evening and let u know.

Initial review for alpha 3 full linaro

Performance similar to SENNA_0.92. Antutu scores attached.

Youtube videos, maps, video in websites work. Haven't checked bluetooth, but i am sure it will not work for calls. I did not use scue's google apps. I flashed a minimal gapps pack for 4.2.2 from recovery. That way i didn't need to install all my apps again. It got installed automatically.

I am having problems with sending sms though. It does not get thru. Receiving is ok. Going to install 130726 cpimage and its associated lib files to see if it makes a difference. It should becoz it works on SENNA_0.92.

Overall very good. Will use for a couple of days and see.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Not sure what could cause the sms problem, the libraries are same. On cpimage flashing, ril libs aren't necessary, they are not mutually exclusive. But I see there is more than 4000pts difference in benchmark?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
Benchmarks are just a gimmick. I don't bother too much about them.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] radityo2:
I Cant seem to open the update link.. any other way i can download the 0.92 version?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Agreed, but taking same algorithms and applying them on same device, it gives some reference.

This build uses old Lenovo kernel source with ported Mali drivers from Samsungs kernel and it is partially switched over to Samsungs HAL, otherwise it wouldn't boot. Bluetooth doesn't work because the newer Lenovo kernel for JB has completely new BT driver.

Anyway, as much as I'd like to use source as much as possible, here it makes me think I should just give up developing in this way. The two versions are already much different from each other.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] radityo2:
by the way.. i cannot play youtube videos, the sound came out, but no image.. any advice guys?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Silesh.Nair:
No. That's the only link available.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
They work just fine , i have watch movie today with them, and make calls, mic. also work normal.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Instal MXplayer, and there choose S/W encoder on network, cuz H/W didnt work , maybe thats ur problem
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Thanks for your feedback.

Do videos watched from gallery play? both portrait and landscape mode?

[MENTION=2103492]radityo2[/MENTION], Please note the version you are using.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
Yes they do. No problem with them. But i have noticed another problem, its with alarm clock. It doesnt work for some reason (maybe its just happend to me) i noticed it yesterday morning, but i tought i maybe it just didnt woke me up, this morning same thing, so i try it now and noticed it doesnt ring, i changed ringtone and other stuff but nothing happend.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Whoa, so applesque.. let me try.

EDIT: can you press volume key, expand the volume menu and check if last slider is on minimum?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
I have locate problem.... Clean master app, autokill apps on screen lock. Sorry , my bad. Its stupid cuz i tought it will be on "ignore" list like all other system apps and preloads. Sorry once again mate
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Oh. What phone are you using? K860i or K860?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
K860 , why?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
So I can know what RAM size you have.

I used Clean Master for a while but it is way to intrusive for a simple maintenance app. Once I had PDroid and have seen how noisy is the app, it was scrapped from the phone.

For maintaining the sdcard and junk you can use SD maid, same effect.

For RAM use, go to Dev options and scroll to the bottom, check don't keep activities or go to performance/memory management and check allow purging of assets.

Android on its own is good at managing memory.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
Great, i havent known about that options. I instaled clean master only for RAM management. And yea k860i is 1gb RAM better :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
New alpha4

Updated OP with link to alpha4. Much smoother, did some kernel side adjustments and continuing to replace official libs with what's available from Samsung.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Good Job OP :cool: This is beta version for tester or full version ??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
alpha. It is a regular CM, nothing is missing, with exception of BT, it is not functional.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
BT as in handsfree , or cant send and recive files over BT ? And one more thing, in 0,92 i didnt like camera cuz after you shoot a photo u have to go out of camera and in to the gallery to c the photo... Is it the same now ? Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
as in not working at all.

In default camera app you can swipe to the left to enter gallery, in SC you have a small thumbnail in the left corner when you take the picture.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
Alright mate, keep up the good work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] radityo2:
I'm having trouble creating a backup for this ROM via cwm.. looks like it creating backup for everything.

Last time i tried, it stays on "Backing up data", and after about 20 minutes it fails.. it did creates a backup folder, but the size is 9 gb (which is exactly how much the empty space on my sdcard before i do the backup process)..

i guess it fails backing up because i don't have anymore space left in my sdcard. Usually it doesn't happen like that isn't it? any advice?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
I don't know have u seen, but today they anounced stabile 10.1.3 CM for a lot of devices, did u have in plan to work on some of them, and is any of them usable without making too many ajustments? Heres a link http://get.cm/?type=stable

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
I noticed during git update. I can't (we can't) follow CM stable releases because our device isn't in the tree nor maintained by CM devs, and to exclude the fact that stuttgart is different than SGS2/3 in many subtle ways.

Here is how it goes, cm10.1 branch is followed (nightly, sort of) and our device tree is locally tied in. (We're looking to get in the official tree but for now this is on hold)

Then, seeing the latest news, CM becoming .inc and them pulling a fast one on Focal dev, also new OPPO coming out, I personally have doubts about whole CM thing. They have to become certified, that means no more root, etc..

Anyway, to sum it up: we're not able to keep it stable since the device is not 100% and there are new developments going on on CM side that might not enable us to have stable tree once we are able to to do so.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
What do you need backups exactly for?

Personally I'm using ES file explorer to back up apps of immediate importance and let play store to download the rest.

If it comes down to SMS or whatever, I'm sure there are apps for that.

I'm not trying to diss you but from my point of view I just don't see a need to back up the whole thing?

Feel free to prove me wrong.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vladog8:
Thanks for all the infos. I rlly had no clue about that, i saw it on android central and seen that there isnt lenovo on the list, so thats why i asked. Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Update to alpha 5:http://pan.baidu.com/s/1xc3Sw

Added BFQ I/O scheduler http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/description.php

and enabled zRam. Test and let me know, can't see for now if zRam is working or not.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] innocence07:
thanks for all your hard work...BTW i have some screen shot for benchmark im on .92

so far the most stable release yet all things are working good, great battery life, responsive touch

great multi tasking (up to 3-4 app running on the background), so far all the app i installed are up and running

i dunno if u have done something on the audio and camera but they are way better quality than the original rom :D

ps

my only concern is that i cant send my text message sometimes even on full bars on signal

this is also a problem present on .91 hope this gets fix...and the USSD code problem cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] radityo2:
Well you're not wrong obviously.. I love this ROM no doubt, it's just that i did several stupid things causing myself stuck in the bootloop hehehe.. so i personally find nand backup a little more useful to get back where i was before the bootloop :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
I guess that's a way to do it too. I just use spare szb on sd card. Mine gets stuck on bootloop very often:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Thank you for your kind words. Regarding multitasking, I have built new kernel used on alpha that is completely overhauled. I will post it soon for you to judge. Unfortunately, BT still doesn't work as the driver code is unavailable in the old source. New kernel Lenovo is using has one more CONFIG entry for BRCM_BLUETOOTH and some switches changed which indicates not only the code for initialization is changed, but also the whole driver code is missing.

I'm sorry you're experiencing such trivial issues, it shouldn't be the case. Next on repertoire is wifi driver replacement (if possible) and some code fix up for wifi hotspot, then polishing on CM side. Hope your patience keeps up:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Can you remove .txt extension, copy and replace this file to /system/etc, go to APN settings and reset the APNs? Then let me know if the problem with sms persists.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eAndro:
relevant_placeholder,

Did you place all the source on github ?

it would be great if other can contribute and learn how to do to build such a great ROM. :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
All of the source to build CM/AOKP/MOKEE is available at linkscue's github (github.com/scue)

Patched kernel (to be able to build with newer/different toolchains) and with ported mali drivers will be on github soon, I still haven't learned how to use it properly, spending my time mainly playing with the code. I did also made heavily modified kernel (jRCU,ARM topology, unaligned access, compaction, migration, etc) that is used by limited group of testers for now, this will also be up around same time, still thinking how to have the whole thing set up in a sensible and clear way.

Anyone who wants to join in or contribute on this project is welcome to do so:) There are few bugs to be ironed out, mainly bluetooth. Thanks for asking and if you need any other info, let me know.

EDIT: I see I skipped a part of your question. As you may have read in OP, the only meaningful difference from scue's release is that this rom (0.92) is built with Linaro and has 20+ patches to the source to be able to build it. The info on how to do it is readily available here on xda, I'm not the smartest kid on the block so I'm sure you'll figure it out easily:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Github is up: https://github.com/jason013/

What's there: kernel patched for 4.2 and toolchains up to 4.7, proprietary files, scue's forked tree with some changes. What isn't: Linaro sys patches and latest kernel.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Updated OP
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Hi OP you update for alpha6 this still for tester ROM only ??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
I'm being cautious, don't want people to complain about missing functions while it is being developed. BT still doesn't work and most probably wont.

You can try it out, for testing sake, to see what it has become. If BT is a dealbreaker for you, then it isn't something you would want to use everyday.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Haha :D :D Don't worry relevant 1 day i will try your ROM soon when i free... As now i enjoying modding battery icon in stock ROM... For me Blue tooth (BT) is not big issue for me as i almost not use earphone to asnwer call... Keep your Hard work going on & on...:good: I support always Bro... :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Thanks! :) Then you will very much enjoy this ROM, performance wise.

I'm not sure the development will go on, right now I feel saturated and helpless :p I'll give it a rest for some time, then rethink the whole thing. 6 Is a simply massive update in kernel, the missing code (read: Lenovo's ignorance of OSS) is what discourages me to continue.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Yes Performance is very important to me as i am a HD Hardcore gamer that's why i choose this device same as Samsung Note 2 spec...

But few thing i really not happy with it , is the Video shooting Sound quality is very bad compare with Samsung... Even i change the media_profiles.xml from 3GP. file change to MP4 but sound Bad... :rolleyes: :( See HERE the infor = http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45595845&postcount=1213

Also stock ROM camera picture quality not very nice (specially photo shoot at night time)... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hope your future ROM update can be solve this issue to let me enjoy good video recording with Good sound & good pictures... :o
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
I'm not a magician;)

1. The codecs depend on the hw codecs embedded with the 4412 platform, OMX namely. There is a lot to be learned in that area, as it is different enough from SGS2/3. Seeing how there are basic stuff missing in functionality, this is a long way to go.

2. This depends on camera sensor quality. try to use HDR or adjust exposure to compensate.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Today i test flash your CM senna 0.92 ROM...

After flashed the ROM found the same problem with him = fix ussd its working but signal bar not fully detect :rolleyes::rolleyes: [MENTION=5360905]relevant_placeholder[/MENTION] any idea how to fix this ??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:

Finch, given up on Senna yet?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Haha Lol it's work！:D:D:thumbup:How did You know that？As OP did not mention how to enable it in first page…

Thanks to you too OP…by the way i already enable the crt screen off animation but it didn't works…(see picture) :rolleyes: and is it "force gpu rendering" is good for daily use and good performance？
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
It should be common knowledge by now. There's a way to have it enabled by default though.

CRT animation never worked on CM. I was exploring around before to have it enabled but gave up, have other stuff to do for now. There are also many conflicting ways on the net to have it enabled which contributed to disinterest.

Force gpu rendering makes everything smoother. It offloads the graphics work CPU would do to GPU. Makes for a more stable CPU work and switching off of the unnecessary cores more often. I didn't see it adversely impacting battery life.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Just confused as before i have using CM 7.2 rom for Samsung GALAXY mini that have CRT animation When screen off but that's small issue nevermind for me…Just want double confirm for gpu rendering as last time i using Gingerbread custom ROM for my GALAXY s advance didn't have this funtion…;)

I found an issue that your senna 0.92 Camera Highest resolution just 5 megapixels only instead 8 megapixes :(:(:( i need to install Camera fx zoom to have full megapixes……:( :what:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] relevant_placeholder:
Google stuff:

If you visit Mr. Linkscue's thread here http://bbs.lephone.cc/k860/t553805/ there is a link to Gapps preload partition.

http://dl.vmall.com/c0zc102rqh

Flash it as you would do with the ROM and then go to Settings/Advanced/K860(i) Install gms. Reboot. All should be there. In the same menu you are also able to lock the MAC address so it doesn't change on reboot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolkillermax:
Huh ?? what you mean for GMS = google stuff = Gapps ? i don't have problem with Gapps... Now the problem is the Super camera can't go into video it will force close & that's main issue my friend... Now i tried flash your SENNA_alpha6_ts.szb ROM, installed super camera latest version 3.5.5 still the same problem... :rolleyes: :eek: :( i wanna try uninstall the CM default camera but i don't found the camera apk in system/app... i think is CM camera crash the Super camera...Let me know which apk name is CM camera.apk ?? :)

i found the big difference Senna 0.92 between SENNA_alpha6 is the RAM size become smaller :rolleyes: :rolleyes: From 2021MB become 1694MB.....(see picture) :eek: :confused: Is it you optimize it so the RAM size smaller alot ??
