Use Bruce2728's ROM with Kali PwnPad!

Hello everyone,

First off let me say how much i enjoy Bruce2728's ROM's and I truly appreciate all of the hard work he has put into his ROM's and his dedication to Android development and XDA users.

I wanted to let everyone know that we have had major success with Bruce2728's ROM's especially the odexed ROM's with putting Kali PwnPad onto Bruce2728's ROM.

For those of you who are into computer security Kali Pwn Pad is a major success with incorporating computer security programs into Android. This project is now a vision because of the hard work of one man -> Binky Bear. If you are interested in this project or if you love computer security as much as I do then please check out my tutorial on how to put Kali Pwn Pad on your Nexus 7 2012/2013 tablet. There has also been reported success in putting Kali PwnPad onto the Nexus 4/5 and Nexus 10.

Here is a link to my tutorial -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2577356

About Kali PwnPad

Kali PwnPad is basically a chroot environment that allows you to run some of the most popular linux programs on Android. Programs such as Metasploit, Wireshark, Social Engineering Toolkit (SET), Aircrack-NG, Wifite, and much much more..

With Binky's Kernel which is based off the ElementalX v2.2 kernel you can now use USB WiFi devices such as the ALFA AWUS036H (a favorite among linux users) and the TP-LINK WN722N with the Atheros chipset in MONITOR MODE!!

And yes...monitor mode works great with Kali Pwn Pad!

Bruce2728 thank you so much for your hard work we all owe you so much!

If you are interested in this Kali PwnPad project please head over to my tutorial...i tried to be as detailed as possible covering everything i could think of from Rooting your tablet to installing TWRP and MultiRom to finally flashing Kali Pwn Pad.

I hope you all like it..

I just tried and also had the same problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
New build up...
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] DivinityCycle:
My favorite ROM strikes again!! I tried out stock, and that lasted maybe 4 days. Just went back to CM11, but your build is better by far :D

After having tap2wake & swipe2sleep turned on for a while, it feels WEIRD having to press my power button. Gonna flash this stuff ASAP
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] JoeBruin32:
I know you have a changelog, but I dunno how to interpret that stuff. Any major highlights/changes?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
Two things that I know have been merged are lock screen security and doubletap on status bar to sleep.

The kernel has kexec added https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kexec

I haven't had time to look at it much myself as the kids are off school.

Just flashed the ROM but keep getting trebuchet has stop working error any fix? Already installed another launcher but sometimes trebuchet just pops up with the same message. But other than that device is much smoother and responsive feels also the when playing HD games it loads much faster.

Read some pages back, but do not find my answer. Is in this release the framework-res hack for SMS activated? If not is it possible to get it in some of the next releases? Do not want to use xposed, so I asked :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
If you use a different launcher just go to settings - apps and disable it.

I've fixed the fc in today's build but it won't be up for a couple hours as I'm still building
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
SMS is working on this ROM as is VoIP
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] User_99:
Sorry, but I think I do not understand your last post correctly. You mean it works via VoIP or SMS and VoIP are working unindependant and I only need to install the apps for SMS as the patch from GuyAdams for Stock KK Rom
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
Sorry, it has been reported that SMS is working with no patch needed. VoIP is also working.

Excellent flash, the best version of CM11! Many thanks for your work! All time found 2 minor bugs: 1. After using the Wi-Fi tethering does not work Wi-Fi (hang) only helps to restart the device. 2. Do not connect a USB flash drive runs through OTG cable, it is necessary to use utility StickMount.

Hi guys, I always have this problem whether if I turn on wifi hotspot, I can switch to connect to wifi afterward unless I restart my tablet.

It will take forever for the WIFI module to be turn on.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] cryostasis25:
I am not sure if im the only one but otg is not working i need to reboot the tablet before it detects the flash drive i am even using stickmount and its not detecting the usb unless i reboot with the usb connected other than that and the trebuchet crashing enjoying the rom so far.

I'll look at that tomorrow, does it work with stock cm?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] jkxklutz:
Just curious what kernel you're using with this room for that program to work. I'm kind of mood and didn't know what option to choose when it asked me to flash another kernel..
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] cryostasis25:
[MENTION=229444]Bruce[/MENTION]

Just used the cm11 provided on the first post and have not flashed any kernel just the same kernel included on the rom. Otg will be detected after rebooted the tablet but if you disconnect and reconnect it wont be detected.

Is there a pure cm11? Have not found any though using deb/lte model.

Update :

Just flashed elementalx kernel and it now detects the fd with the help of stickmount.

[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Alcibiade:
A few comments on the latest built:

Trebuchet still fc from time to time but comes back to life intact (ie restarts automatically) so no issue there

However for the first time I have issues with the camera. It takes a long time to start and sometimes fc while saving a picture

Not sure if others experience the same (I didnt have that previously)

Last but without any objective measure, battery life doesn't seem as good as previous built (But on this I think time will tell, if we don't get to flash anything in the mean time ahaha)
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] DivinityCycle:
Nothing special, just the Bricked kernel the ROM comes with.

You need a root-enabled file explorer that can do text editing. I use Solid Explorer, but I'm pretty sure Root Explorer can also do that.

The file you need to edit is /etc/init.d/99kernel

It's fairly self-explanatory, just change the settings you want, save the file, and reboot.

I'm pretty sure this is explained in the first post on this thread.

[MENTION=385737]Alcibiade[/MENTION], the camera has always been slow to launch and slow to switch between front & back for me while using this ROM.

Same device running stock is appreciably faster. YMMV, but my guess is this is an issue with the kernel. It DOES eventually come up and work, so I'm OK with that. To me, a slow camera is something I can deal with in exchange for a much more one-hand-friendly device. I have enabled the "double tap the status bar to sleep device" option in the ROM, and tap2wake and swipe2sleep.

This allows me to wake & sleep the tablet pretty much all the time from any grip, which is nice since I carry this tablet instead of a phone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Alcibiade:
I don't mind either. But on the latest build it is way slower to start. And it crashes often. I dont really care, I use my Nexus 5 for pictures, but I thought it was worth reporting
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
The camera driver in the kernel is the same as stock, it may be the cm camera app causing it as I'm pretty sure they have added a few extra settings in there.

I'll see if aosp have made any updates to the camera hal and I'll try take a logcat while the camera app is loading to see what the problem is.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Alcibiade:
Probably not worth wasting your time. We'll probably have something more robust in the next builts!
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] jkxklutz:
Anyone else having trouble keeping bluetooth connected? Mine keeps dropping and reconnecting, not just on one but 3 separate devices, so I'm thinking it's not my devices.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] DivinityCycle:
I've used my A2DP headphones for about 3 hours today, no problems. I have also not noticed any dropouts on my Pebble watch, although that one only transmits stuff like notifications, but its been working all day.

What kind of BT stuff are you using with your tablet?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Ryo Zi:
Bruc, how you look at to create GitHab Pages and repository with ROM, to maintain a list of changes and bug reports, and so on. Here is an example that would be more understandable :)

LegacyXperia Project

By the way, would not be bad somehow arrange the release of new ROM, for example once a week on Sunday or twice a week ... It depends on what is more relevant, but I think that once a week is enough, because few people like to be updated frequently

Oh, I think it would be good to organize OTA update ... As you look at all this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] kisrita:
Mine also keeps dropping Bluetooth connection to my Kinivio Bluetooth in my car on all CM11 versions I've tried, but did not drop it with another Bluetooth device connected to my home stereo. I ended up going back to stock rooted 4.3 and have not had any Bluetooth connection drops since. I'm downloading the routed stock 4.4.2 ROM now to try next.

Edit 1/10: I flashed the rooted stock KitKat ROM for Deb. Experienced the same exact issue. Bluetooth initially works but quickly dropped. Bluetooth then turns off and I can't turn it back on unless I reboot. This only happens with the Kinivio Bluetooth I'm using in my car. The Bluetooth I use to connect to my house stereo worked without issue on android 4.4 so this seems to be an issue with specific Bluetooth devices only, and only with KitKat.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] DivinityCycle:
That sucks, but at least you have isolated the issue. I wonder what it is about the Kinivio that is causing issues. Since you know its an issue of that + KitKat, the only other thing you could try is grabbing catlogs from when you connect the Kinivio to your tablet running KitKat. However, I'm not entirely sure what you'd even be looking for, aside from "Anything that is an error" :P
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] curtdragon:
Great ROM only have one minor issue. Wonder if anyone else has it. When I use the stock home app it always deletes the icon at the bottom right. on the main home screen
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] DivinityCycle:
I thought it was just me having that problem.

I only briefly used the stock launcher and then went back to my favorite, Nova Launcher. It looks like stock and can do everything stock can do, but has a lot more customization.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] cryostasis25:
^The same but when i tried a different launcher it retained the icon i placed on the lower right
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Alcibiade:
Same problem here.

Fortunately I prefer Trebuchet but yes the default home screen has this bug

Does anyone else's LTE connection take forever to come back after Airplane Mode is disabled? It takes about 2-3 minutes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] jkxklutz:
My Kinivio bluetooth headphones, along with my Jawbone Era are dcing and reconnecting intermittently once in a while. The bluetooth in my car (Blackberry Gateway Receiver) seems to stay connected. This is kind of tough for me, since I depend on bluetooth heavily for calls.

Also, anyone else having trouble with SIP setup? Spent so much time trying to get it to work, but never could actually make a successful phone call with it. My GTalk trunk always says disconnected.

I had the same problem, ended up uninstalling SIP app

, because of the annoying notification all the time that it couldn't register itself.

You have to edit the kernel (kernel99 in system/etc/init.d) and enable it with "1" instead of "0" the complete instructions can be found in the first post from the OP.

omg. I enable doubletab2wake in kernel99 after flashing every new version and never realized the option for magnetic on/off there.

Yes either Airplane mode or when I disable WiFi it takes much longer than stock..
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] jkxklutz:
Anyone else experiencing GPS issues? Wondering if this issue is linked to my GPS settings. I switched to Device Only mode and will see if that works out better..
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Alcibiade:
On some of the previous versions yes, not on the latest ROM.

I have quite some issues with Wifi. If I use my N7 as a Wifi AP,if I want to reconnect to the wifi network afterwards, I cant. I need to reboot in order to be able to do that

Does anybody have problems with cm-11-20140127-bruce2728-bricked-linaro-deb.zip?

I flashed it today, without problem. It booted up, I entered my SIM PIN, after the PIN it crashed, I got the Google Logo (the one you get after power on), so i thought, OK it crashed, it will boot again. Unfortunately it does not boot, it stucks at the google logo.

Even TWRP recoery seems to be damaged. TWRP boots, but it wants a password (of course i didn't set one before). If i click cancel in the password prompt, i get to the TWRP menu, but i can't do anything there. It does not recognize any partition. No matter what i try i get the error messages:

E: Unable to mount '/system'

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

E: Unable to set emmc bootloader message

So I can't delete, format, flash or do something else there.

Also tried to boot to bootloader and flash different things with fastboot. Also no luck with that: bootloader looks normal on the device, but if i try to flash recovery, bootloader, radio, ... after some minutes in which fastboot tries to write it always says "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)"

Even flashing Google Factory Image does not work, because it also flashes it's stuff with fastboot and ends with the same errors (remote: flash write failure).

Any ideas what else i can do???

I don't think it's ROM related, because it booted until the PIN entry the first time before the crash.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] jkxklutz:
I'm on At&t and GPS does work as it does before but the time it takes to connect takes quite long. LTE connection also takes about a minute or so, after getting off of WiFi, if that's normal? If it is then that's fine, I'm only comparing to stock which was nearly instantaneous..
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] User_99:
Thx, that we get this Rom from you. Personally think that this one is snappier than the original one. Much appreciated!

Rob could you please consider compiling OmniROM instead of CM?

It's more feature rich, and as this is a Nexus device, the devtree wouldn't be that much of an issue....

BTW has this ROM moved to a CAF base now?

Edit: No it hasn't, silly me ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
I'll have a look at omnirom later tonight if I can free up some hard drive space I'll build both.

What I would like is a ROM that tracks aosp master instead of just merging major releases. They have made a lot of changes since 4.4.2
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Sleepy!:
Thanks a lot for considering it. ?

I don't think anybody has had the guts to do that... Yet.

But it would be a great proposition... A ROM that doesn't depend on the paradigms of Google dictated releases...
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
It would be pretty simple to set up but it would be a pain dealing with the merge conflicts caused by customisations.

A simple script could merge in aosp every day, like the one I use to merge the cm repo's on my github.

[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Sleepy!:
Hmmm almost every guy I know says Omni runs better/has cleaner source....

But if you feel that it isn't up to scratch, no need to waste your resources compiling a build.

I've always been very happy with your builds and will be happy with whatever decision you make, mate. :)

BTW, did you hear, the Sensation's running 3.4 kernel now... with a working camera too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] bruce2728:
No didn't know about sensation, I'll take a look.

I'll compile omni for flo/deb just to check it out for now, I've already set up the builds, just got to wait until the kids go to bed as my PC is going through the TV at the moment, I broke my monitor while moving house.

I had this experience a while ago in previous versions, so I decided to switch to another kernel, first I tried Glitch (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449919) then I tried ElementalX (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389022) currently using latest version 2.6. Both of them do keep their parameters saved and have more options and are also snappier, with an approx 10 % increase in benchmarks. I decided to stick to ElementalX because it seems to have even more options , like fsync on-off, X-FAT support etc. For me this ROM combined with ElementalX 2.6 is definitely a winner!
