No clue, other than it seems to work OK on taktik roms. This tablet's wifi really hates batteries overall. :silly:
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
If I remember right the big difference between mine and taktik builds is cpuquite to enable deep sleep well actually to enable waking up from deep sleep. Stock and the other build can actually enter deep sleep if conditions are perfect. But, if they do they go into an SOD because the wake up IRQ only goes to the little 5th core.

Course now native DRM works on my last builds
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I think in my case it's my Sero itself as I have gotten a softboot on DoPa, a softboot in CWM Recovery (while trying to stupidly flash back to stock, isn't that convenient? I had to reflash Dopa to get anything to work, I was softbricked), lots softboots in davepmer's unofficial taktiK builds (but none in the recent builds) and now one softboot in CM11.

So you're saying I shouldn't have to flash this since the changes didn't work, right? Who knows, it might fix my SSID issue miraculously.

EDIT: Lol nvm, I didn't read the dual band part. I was wondering why I was having trouble streaming 720p from YouTube on Road Runner Lightning.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Getting soft reboots in recovery sounds very dangerous. I would consider trying a fresh download of selinux enabled twrp and hope that it takes care of any softboots in recovery.

FYI my first concern with softboots in recovery would be a hardware problem. Since not a whole lot starts up in recovery. The bad part would be if recovery is flashing when it soft reboots, and accidentally flashes to the wrong partition or worse over a partition table,
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
EDIT: Sorry for the wall of text guys!

I got the soft reboot back when I was using XboxExpert's version of CWM Touch Recovery and haven't had one in randomblame's SELinux CWM Swipe Recovery. I think it was a hardware issue and might be connected to the reboot I got in stock as well. If I touched a part of the screen too hard it would softboot on me. It's very rare and I haven't had one caused by that for months.

It seems I dodged a bullet :) When the recovery softbooted I could use hardware buttons but not the touchscreen. I then used the hardware buttons to navigate to the DoPa package and attempted to flash it but it gave me a Status 7 error. I was afraid I bricked my little gem :crying:

I tried to turn on my tablet but it got stuck on the bootloader "Hisense" screen... I was literally punching walls. I decided to go back into recovery and hope for a miracle and to my suprise everything worked and I flashed DoPa!

I don't think I flashed over any wrong partitions. I was expecting my data to have been wiped but back then I was still a noob (DoPa was my first custom ROM and the Sero is my first device) so I didn't know that the ROM only touched a few partitions.

Luckily all of my softboots lately haven't been because of that. I think it was a horrible life-shortening fluke. All of my recent softboots have been in the OS itself on same SSID/multiple router places. Plus the logcat showed that it was something to do with WiFi so that further confirmed my suspicion. Hopefully your latest build of CM11 fixes it but I won't be able to flash that for a few hours.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Do you ever use wifi p2p? If not I could try to make a build without p2p and see if that helps you any. FYI all builds that I know of including stock has p2p active.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] JerichoKru:
EDIT: I have poor reading comprehension.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Just make sure you use a selinux enabled recovery for taktik or my builds and a none selinux recovery for any stock based build.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Talon65442:
Wait, what?

Last I knew, CWM (re)posted by dolorespark (XBoxExperts CWM) would NOT flash KK (lack of selinux?).

I'm running DoPa v2.0 right now that I flashed with randomblame's CWM (swipe + selinux enabled) Recovery (after commenting out the assert in updater-script since that's the one{?} that doesn't read the correct device ID).

Should that not have worked?

Sorry for straying OT! Back on-topic...

For what it's worth, haven't tried KK yet due to lack of a2dp (primary use for my tab is as a music player/e-reader)... now that I think about it... I should be helping!!!

Do you need me to flash it up and log like Paul Bunyan?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
How could I tell if that's the problem? AFAIK I don't use WiFi p2p, what are the signs? I know you said the logcat had something to do with a p2p issue...

Looking at my church's "routers" they are all flat squares with a blue square in the middle. At school they are the same but rounded with a green square. My church's routers are made by Ubiquiti but at school they're using Cisco. Are these "routers" actually nodes in some sort of p2p chain and not actual individual routers?

I am planning to purchase of this tablet for a tablet carpc project. But wanted to go kitkat based rom. I noticed there were talks about the USB Audio stream is broken in this rom, but in the OP didn't mention anything. So I like to find out from users that are already on this rom that has USB DAC can tell me if it is still broken or not. thanks for the heads up
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jerbear294:
I don't know if USB streaming is broken but I know for a fact A2DP is broken as well as DSP Manager and Viper4Android.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
USB. HDMI, and A2DP are all still broken. And I have just noticed wifi direct (p2p) is broken as well.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

P2P is wifi connecting 2 devices without a router. It is called wifi direct, and I notice it too is broken. Now for the weird part. Our devices should use wpa_supplicant for wifi decoding. Should use P2P_supplicant for P2P decoding. We are not. We are using P2P_supplicant for all wifi function.

Yep another thing to look int to. Since WifiDirect P2P is broken I will see if a build without the P2P part will work better for you.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tomkatt:
Can't speak for the others, but I'm having no issues with DSP Manager. I'm running Taktik R10.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] C64assembly:
Is something reversed then? Many moons ago when devs were compiling a ROM for the Nook tablet, they accidently flipped external and internal storage because they used the wrong integer (I think a 1 instead of 0) when assigning call functions. Anyone who formatted their external SD card on that build would actually format their internal storage and brick their tablet. Could the WiFi issue have something to do with an improper assignment?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
If it is something reversed it seems to be somewhere in the kitkat source code. I have found that I can comment out the whole wpa_supplicant service and still have wifi working through the p2p_supplicant service. If I comment out the p2p_supplicant and have the wpa_suplicant active wifi does not work. If I comment out the p2p_supplicant service and just rename wpa_supplicant service to p2p_suplicant service, wifi works. Seems that cm-11 is never calling the service wpa_supplicant. It does call p2p_supplicant service.

No. You can use windows. Its just a matter of following directions. Basically you create to directories (base and port). Base is the cm11 ROM and port is whatever ROM you are trying to port. Then you swap files as stated in the guide until your port directory contains the necessary files moved from your base and voila!

Well AOSP and Paranoid Android will be a big problem, more than just porting. Our blobs need vectorimpl symbols in order to function. AOSP and Paranoid Android based on AOSP removed those symbols, because the symbols were causing build problems with the grouper. Cyanogenmod put a config statement to turn them on or off. Our required blobs for our sound, and camera are useless without them.

Hi Randomblame, You might want to take a look at our wifi, maybe wpa_supplicant. I believe it is causing an SOD or random reboot issue when you go into a location with multiple routers with the same SSID. I have seen the issue but have not been able to get a logcat or a tombstone of it. I also have not been able to narrow it down.

Unable To Boot Into Android!!

OK, for a while I was running taktiK just fine and then my tablet stopped booting for no apparent reason.. I can still get into recovery, so I tried clearing cache, fixing permissions, factory reset, reflashing, flashing back to stock,etc.... Nothing works... I see the Hisense logo, then I see the taktiK logo, and then it just sits at a black (slightly glowing) screen until I hold the power key or it run out of battery.... Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] randomblame:
I'm aware of that issue I think it's a bug in the bcmdhd driver on the kernel side.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davepmer:
Our maybe in the wpa_supplicant module on the cm-11 side. It seems to give me the most trouble on open wifi networks.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I'm trying to get AOSP going, and fixed this particular problem by restoring the missing code - it doesn't break our build.

That's another easy fix: load libnvoice.so into a hex editor and change all those '_48' imports to '_51'.

Where I had problems was getting the audio not to cause a bootloop during startup. I had a breakthrough of sorts when I replaced my libaudioflinger.so with the one from TTr11 and it worked (for a while). Comparing CM11 with AOSP revealed that there had been an API change in KK that was causing the crash. I copied their fix into my repo and added a mod for something they missed, and now audio works.

Next up is getting the camera working.

I too ran into the WiFi/p2p_supplicant problem and think that it's either in init itself or something it starts. Before I added a p2p_supplicant service, I spotted an error in my logcat that went something like "init: p2p_supplicant - no such service". That name didn't exist in any of the init.*.rc files, yet somehow init was trying to run it. BTW... in the stock ROM, there aren't separate wpa_ and p2p_ supplicant services, just a single wpa_nl_supplicant that's just a renamed version of p2p_.

One nice thing in this version (may be in CM as well - haven't looked): in Settings->Storage, there's now a section for USB storage and an "unmount" button for an OTG-connected USB drive.

However, when I diff'd it against wl_linux_mon.c, the two files proved to be identical except for the version id string. So, regardless of which one gets compiled and linked, the result will be the same.
