completely rebased 3.1.10 kernel omitted some of the commits that I thought might cause problems and I went through settings and think I have those force closes fixed too getting ready to test

*settings fixed working on kernel a bit more
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Let me know how it works
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I can't say what the cause of the (re)boot problem is - but I can confirm what it isn't. I rolled back your kexec patches since they seemed the most likely culprit but that had no effect. I then restored kexec and built using the defconfig from Hisense's last update; again, the results were the same. Presumably, the cause is not something that can be turned on or off using a CONFIG_ option.

Were these FCs (mostly) limited to the preference screens that CM11 adds, or did they happen with the stock Google stuff as well? If the former, I have a fix/hack for that.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] randomblame:
Settings issue was just a bad merge with upstream changes there was a conflict that I had to fix differently as for kernel I only tested that the new branch booted once I'll test more tomorrow but I'm sure its not kexec it could be block or mm related I need to get it to a reliable state then make changes to one subsystem at a time

you'll have to pull it manually or change the branch in your manifest

no and I don't want official cm status because I have a life and more important things to do. unnofficial builds and official builds are the same except one wastes more of my time and has less features and more spyware.

You have made great progress my friend

Boot after flash was best ever... never had boot.. always stopped on Hisense screen after a few minutes would have to force power off.. this time... booted no hicup... but wifi when turned off would not turn back on until after boot.. booted with it on. when I turned off.. again would not come back on... something different this time was .. in previous release there was no sound when I pressed the toggle.. this time there is.. not sure if that gives you an y clues.. but at least different....

Have to say much faster and smoother than stock... will continue to test and update what I find.... so far no reboots or lockups... have been in and out of setting a number ot times..

Build 3 observations:

Great news is sdcard is working and I was able to restore my apps via Titanium Backup just fine. Bad news however is the sound pitch bug on apps like YouTube and MLS Match Day is still there. If I recall from the 4.3 ROMs this is due to some kind of hardware decoder issue (or was it software decoder issue). I also noticed that apps like PowerAMP, Play Music, etc won't play music at all. :(

I had that working (sorta) with a recompiled stock kernel and the original stock ROM. It seemed like there was nothing on the Android side to receive the notification that the device had been added. I naiively thought that just adding an entry to vold.fstab with the appropriate device path and mountpoint would do it - but it didn't. Mounting sda1 from the command line worked fine though, as did StickMount. I imagine it's missing some facility in Settings or SystemUI to trigger whatever actually mounts or unmounts removables.
