OMG you are right, bummer, did not test XBMC thoroughly before, asumed it be fine since it worked flawlessly on my old Note 10.1. Hehe, well, you know what they say, the assumption is the mother of all ****ups. So thanks for alerting me!

Tested the latest nightly, which did have proper sound, but the video was offset. Testing the alphas now, but won't put in a non-stable release so XBMC is out too for now. A shame... I love XBMC.

---

Anyway,

since I still have some issues with the updater-script and identified some more removable stuff, I was going to have to rebuild and retest the flashing anyhow.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
XBMC 13.0 Gotham Alpha 9 did the trick for me ... proper sound and video ... tested 1080P with DTS and a 720P with AC3 sound.

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/android/arm/xbmc-13.0-Gotham_alpha9-armeabi-v7a.apk

Still out though ;)

Worth giving plex a go? I moved from xbmc to plex - seems to be a great option.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
I was led to believe there were fewer addons for and less customization options in plex, but I'll check it out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Mr_Armageddon:
Plex is pretty great. Very similar to XMBC in most aspects, and although not as customizable, trumps XMBC in 1 big way...

Plex allows for the streaming of you video content ANYWHERE you have internet connection. So when I travel for work (which is about 12-15 days per month), I can stream whatever movies or tv shows I am trying to catch up on, directly to my tablet from my Verizon MiFi. It transcodes the video on the fly, so depending on your connection speed, it will alter the bit rate so playback stays nice and smooth.

I have the same issues when wiping the Cache via TWRP. I have notified the developer, and included your example as proof that its not just me :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Plex seems to need an install on a desktop and transcodes the media.... that's so "Playstation Media Server" ;)

I can already stream all I want everywhere, (running a VPN for that purpose, well, one of the purposes anyway), and XBMC just plays every format I throw at it without transcoding.

Worth mentioning tho I got a xStreamer Ultra 2 and Raspberry Pi both running XBMC too (which probably makes me very biased), so I can just share one database between these 3 instances and when I watch something on one it automaticly gets flagged as played on the other devices.

If I were to setup my environment now or did not already have one which does exactly what I want (with Sickbeard, Couchpotato and Headphones in the mix) I probably would look at Plex more seriously.

-----

On the TWRP not wiping cache issue... I have even tried using a modified cache.img (removed the Samsung Go installer from it, etc) in the hope that would have the same effect as wiping cache, it did not ;( I hope this issue will be fixed by team TWRP soon. In the end I resorted to reflashing stock recovery, using that to do a factory reset, then reflashing TWRP, using that to wipe system and data and then install my Rom... this did work, but feels very dodgy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] vdc530:
XBMC over Plex any day for me. That customization :drool
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Especially if you use the Customizable Confluence Mod ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Mr_Armageddon:
I totally agree that XMBC is the more robust of the 2, and I do run it on my HTPC for media playback at home. But Plex is useful when playing back high bitrate HD movies (18-21mbps bit streams....) when I travel. Those files would choke over my VPN using my Verizon MiFi, hence the need on occasion for the transcoding abilities of Plex, to basically make those files watchable over a cellular data connection. Both programs serve me well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
How does it do when the files it has to serve are stored on other boxes, no problems playing from mounts (NFS/Samba)? I've got my content scattered over my 'always on' devices (a NAS, 3 4TB disks on my Ultra and 2 2TB ones on my Raspberry).

---

On another note ... I rebuild the ROM last night with the following specs:

Based of P600XXUBMJ6

Rooted

persist.security.ams.enforcing=1

ro.secure=0

ro.allow.mock.location=0

ro.debuggable=1

ro.adb.secure=1

persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

Added busybox & init.d scripts

Added /data/app feature (so removing of bloatware in system can be done)

Added nano and bash (**** vi! ;P)

Added latest adblock

De-odexed

Removed KNOX and FOTA (Over the Air updates ain't gonna work anyways with a rooted rom)

But I am going to hold of any testing untill team TWRP has (dalvik)-cache wiping working properly ... too much hassle otherwise, in my last test I had to reflash stock recovery via ODIN to be able to do a factory reset with cache properly wiped, then reflash TWRP to continue.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Mr_Armageddon:
All of my files (12TB) are centralized on my media server, so I haven't used Plex on anything but that. But I know you can choose a network location to pull into your library.

... Also waiting for that TWRP cache fix. Found out the hard way that it wasn't working and had to flash back to stock.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] asaqwert:
any word on this yet? have you tried using the older version of twrp? i haven't tried actually flashing a backup with it but it installed and runs fine.... trying to decide which one to get/keep... i have the wifi one and i'm just trying to figure out if there's going to be any rom's for either one... if not the wifi one will suffice i guess, either that or i'm getting rid of it and getting the surface pro 2 or something... really pissed at the way samsung has released this thing... horrible service/business practices!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
I tried both... Really need a proper cache wipe though.. Holding out for that. If it takes too long or peepz get really impatient I might just upload a backup. Got it running myself atm ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] asaqwert:
If this is for the Wi-Fi only model...I'm impatient! Do you still have lag with it or did you manage to get rid of it for the most part?

I'd love if you could upload the backup for some of us to try....or if you could pm me and hook me up to try :)

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
It is for Wifi only (SM-P600, to be precise) ... I got it really stable, fixed all the bootloop issues and drasticly improved boottime. It basicly is the exact ROM I made but just not with Aroma (so it really is Wifi only, no CSC etc). If anything it has more patches and tweaks as the intended ROM.

I'll make a dump containing Boot and System only later today, you should first try that, without wiping cache (do a factory reset first only), because TWRP will mess up your /cache mount (at least, it did for me, resulting in having to reflash stock).... if it does not work, notify me and I will try to make one including an emptied Cache (no garantees that will work though).

I have to mention; I do not use TouchWizz (I use Nova), nor any of the Samsung only functionality that is not S-pen related (Besides KNOX and FOTA, AllShare for example has been removed).. so I do not know whether any of that is broken or otherwise not functioning properly. It shouldn't be, but just so you know ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Uploading it to dropbox now.., it's a 1.2 GB file, and upping it straight from my Note so it will take a while..

However I just realised in the case you are currently running the exact stock firmware I used (see up in this thread) then you should not have to wipe at all, just restoring the backup should (at least in theory) work just fine. If not you can still try it without reset... worst case scenario you have to reflash stock via odin.

What I would do if I were you:

Make a FULL backup of your device first (I would include all partitions).

Unzip the backup 'next to' the folder where your backup is.

Restore both system and boot from my backup.

Now, once again I should stress, this method has only been tested by me on the exact firmware mentioned, there is zero garantee it will work on other fw versions, (although it's quite likely it will) and I am not responsible for any damage you might cause or data you might loose (always make backups!). Also as far as I know there should not be any residu of anything I have installed or any of my accounts (there's no data-folder in the backups after all), but in case I'm wrong please let me know asap, I'll factory reset before making a dump then ;)

I will send you the link to download privatly when it is uploaded ... if it all works for you and there's no stuff that needs removing I will make the link publicly available for others too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] apascual89:
What issues are you having with the updater script? Does it flash or errors out ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Updater-script/binary won't fire at all .. it just throws some random error ... when I just modify the default update-script present in the original stock ROM it fails because cache won't wipe properly.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Oh, for those wanting to know... besides rooting and removing KNOX and FOTA etc I have done the following tweaks:

Installed busybox

Installed init.d support

Increased wifi scan interval from 60 to 180sec (to save some battery)

Optimized Wifi net settings

IPv4 and TCP speed tweaks

Enabled Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Added Xloud services and Audio quality hack

Added 'perfect mount options', SD Card speed tweak and 'Loopy Smoothness' tweak on boot (to increase boottime and stop bootloops due to improper mounting or sdcards not ready yet)

Database optimization on boot
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] punkmilitia:
That sounds pretty damn promising tbh. Good job. Have you made a ROM thread yet?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] apascual89:
I'll send you the meta - inf folder shortly for you to test. It's the same one I'm using, but I'll set your mount points.

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

Try this one out and let me know how it goes!

META-INF.zip - 314.90 KB

Just delete the one in the zip and replace with that one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Nope, as long as TWRP is not doing what it should on wiping cache etc. I can not install it as regular ROM. I am not going to release something that may be thoroughly ****ed or only work on SM-P600 with the exact same stock fw i based it off. The only way I have been able to 'install' it so far is by dumping my boot and system partitions to a backup with TWRP and restore that backup. Way to dodgy to release in public tbh.

Will try the META-INF apascual89 supplied ...but doubt that will solve anything beyond the update(r) issues, as long as wiping cache does not work (TWRP completely destroys the partition, resulting in a bootloop) it's just not doable to properly test/install.

Secondly, and I can not stress this enough ... this has only been tested and verified to work so far on a SM-P600 with the MJ6 firmware on it.

This is my first attempt ever at building an Android ROM without depending on tools like Android Kitchen (however I am a developer by trade so am not completely in the dark here). Anyhoo ... the point is .. I do not want to make any promises or commit to something that might turn out to be impossible (for the moment anyway).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] punkmilitia:
Fair enough. I really hope my tab comes today so I can try to bake some stuff in. TWRP is completely new to me. I used to use TPT so this is all new territory for me and I'm shocked how different the community looks compared to back in the android 2 days.

Edit: just looked at my old device from 2010 and it has android 4.3.1 - that is crazy!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] apascual89:
[MENTION=5460220]eeeeek[/MENTION] sorry I thought you were using the kitchen.....

If it makes any difference I've been using twrp, but I changed it to rm -rf instead if formatting in settings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
I used to in the past ... But Kitchen has not been updated since API level 17... And with our device being stock on 18 already I did not want to risk it ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] apascual89:
I'm using it without issues. I just changed the API to 18.

Well not without issues, I have to change the updater binary and script.

It also doesn't let it boot if pre rooted. But TWRP roots it just fine for me
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
The rm -rf should work indeed...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
I'll try wrapping it with Kitchen later ... Got some 'real' work to do now.. Back later today ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Ah .. that would probably have been my problem then .. (the pre-rooting). That would suck though ... it's great TWRP can fix root (that feature saved me once) but I personally prefer my ROMS pre-rooted ... flash and go ;)

Anyhoo ... going to give the Kitchen a go ... just in dubio whether I should start from a fresh stock image and use Kitchen's rooting, busybox and init.d and try to duplicate all I did or that I should make an image of my running version and use that as base for Kitchen ... oh well .. time will tell ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Well .. I tried using your META-INF .. and it DID work. so much thanks for that ... but ofcourse I could not resist pre-rooting (or rather.. I used my running version as base for the Kitchen). And it turns out you are right on the not booting when pre-rooted part ;)

Luckily I made a full backup so it was no biggy. Still a huge bummer ... going to have to test how far it has to be unrooted for it to work and whether the init.d stuff etc won't break when it boots without root.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] apascual89:
Great to hear! Keep me updated. What about TWRP?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] eeeeek:
Ticking the rm -rf option did work for the wiping (i was able to wipe all partitions without any issues).

So two steps closer .. and one step back due to the pre-rooted issue.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] DiGGeR2:
I've merged the 5.0 installer and the 5.2 patch... deleted all 5.0 files in my Qtek 9090 and then install with the setup.exe

After that replaced the exe with the cracked.

Something strange... I put the Canary_Islands-map I have, it's ok... but I cannot use my Switzerland maps which works with tomtom 3 and tomtom 5.0. Need I to find a new version of Switzerland map ?

It looks very strange this is the 562 version, the same version as the Canary island... is it possible that the path of this map need to change from one version to another ?

Why are you not searching or reading the official multi boot thread?

i read that but i cant do this,i dont know why.

first i flash twrp recovery then multiram after that click on add rom and instal omni rom with share kernel(and once whitout share)but nothing happen and boot on stock rom,,,am i wrong???
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vieri_202:
dude u have cwm already as u have iodak kernel already so just reboot in recovery and backup ur current rom

1-wipe data /factory reset

2-wipe cache

3-wipe dalvik cache

4-format system

5- flash omni

thats it plz search u will find tons of answers on google and xda

edit : srry got it wrong
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
Am I wrong or didn't you get that he wants multi boot? If he does what you wrote he just get Omni Rom but he wants both stock and Omni.

I never tried multi boot as I don't see any advantages but you should read through the whole thread not just the tut in the beginning.

multi boot on a phone -_- its not like u gonna install windows ? :rolleyes:

whats the point of multi boot on an android phone ? its an open source os and u can do anything with a little knowledge. u will boot to another rom to use hardware keys on screen ? halo ? tablet dpi ? and then u will reboot to the other rom to just use it with less features ? is that useless or not ? u can do anything to any rom. Also u can install probam thats 3 roms in one. the idea of dual boot is totally useless and u will hardly find someone to help.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] black@pirate:
Dual boot is most useful test flash many ROMs. Primary ROM (stable) + Secondary (Test all ROMs out there) = :victory:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
pfff relax ... even if a rom is not stable , the worst case scenario is a double battery drain and a few homescreen 1sec crashes. nobody will make a public rom that will do some serious damage.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] black@pirate:
Yep.. but u don't need to wipe and again set up ur primary one just to taste some new roms.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
so what ? i wipe a couple of times the week. myshoebox -> cloud for photos. and google syncs everything else. its like 5 minutes to wipe, install, sync. -_-

Has anyone had any success with Adaway and the Nexus 5?

I have installed it and updated the hosts file with it successfully, and I can confirm that the entries are indeed put in /system/etc/hosts but all the apps including chrome seem to completely ignore these entries which of course ruins the adblocking.

Verifying the hosts file is being modified and there is stuff in it:

And if I try and ping one of the entries at the cli, I get the proper 127.0.0.1 response:

But Chrome doesn't seem to care (yes, this is a fresh boot, and a site I'd never tried, so nothing would have been cached):

And it doesn't seem to be just Chrome ignoring it, other apps on the phone seem to ignore the hosts file as well.

Did something break in Kitkat?

I miss the days when I was doing every thing by pressing my mobile buttons.

The Touch Screen dominating the mobile world and keypad mobiles became rare these days, even the choices are so limited, If you want a mobile then you have to think about smart phone, Apple iOS, Google Android, Microsoft Windows Phone & black berry.

I have tried each one of those OSes and I feel that all of them are similar in some way or in other, I really miss simplicity and keypad phones.

What is available in the market doesn't looks so cool, just low end devices, nothing really special, how come until now no company though about even a pre-ordered edition of a nice and good made keypad phone, something classic and old style, just for making calls and text messaging.

Hope to see something cool in good solid build with small antenna like old days.
