[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes, I am uploading a new build which actually is quite nice. My internet connection here is terrible, it will still take 10 more minutes. It's online now.

Anyways, I've put it into a dedicated alpha folder because it seems unstable. Had a couple freezes and hot reboots but no time to figure out what's happening. (Mostly before a full wipe though).

Oh and it made a terrible noise when I tried to reboot to recovery. Quite funny actually :laugh:

So this is NOT recommended as a daily driver, it's just a preview of what I'm planning to do with CM11.

Edit: Apparently the warning isn't needed, no one else posted as harsh issues as me. After my full wipe things are a lot better as well, so I think you can safely flash and try this build.

So, the preview changelog:

Ported my TheROM hardwarekeys customization options (open power menu, screen off, toggle torch, take screenshot, toggle last app).

If someone is wondering, personally I do the following changes:

double press home: power menu

long press menu button: screen off

short press search: recent apps switcher

long press search: In-app search

Added my dynamic Quickmemo support which activates when you flash the (CM10.2) Quickmemo app. Untested!

Replaced CMs performance menu with Omnis PerformanceControl.

It's been a bit more work than I hoped, but it's really nice imo (as it's fully baked into the Settings app, which I like a lot :good:)

This hides the zRAM preferences currently, though (so you'd have to disable it via the build.prop if for whatever reason you don't like zram).

Cheerypicked the commit which keeps the InCallUI in memory (thx [MENTION=3783116]pengus77[/MENTION] for discovering it)

debloated and slimmed down the ROM (CM Updater etc. stuff gone). Forgot the Movie Studio which will go in the next version

Updated mini gapps to 4.4.2

Synced (mainly) to CM11 M2 (this might be related to the issues, I'll try a full nightly build once I find the time)

Pre-included BarcodeScanner (as I use it to connect to my wifi after a full wipe).

Using tegra2 optimized bionic instead of the generic one, thx to [MENTION=5124291]Firtecy[/MENTION]. No idea if this has an impact.

Removed Google Dialer and Google Keyboard. You can flash them yourself if you want them.

Edit: Oh I almost forgot, fixed some permissions (mainly bluetooth related), but I have no idea if this has any effect.

I don't have any bluetooth devices here.

Last notes:

As always thx to [MENTION=1482676]hjuuni[/MENTION] for his great work, without him this wouldn't be possible.

The kernel is NOT updated! Do that yourself.

The PerformanceControl app you'll find in the Appdrawer is there by accident and is a _different_ version than the one baked into the settings.

Don't use it, or just remove the apk from /system/app.

The reason for stuff like that is simple: This is an alpha testbuild for myself which I'm just sharing because I haven't released anything in a while and am going to be busy again during the next days.

Once I do a proper release I will of course polish it.

So don't complain, if you do I just don't share the testbuilds anymore, easy as that :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] mind_challenge:
I tried it. Didn't do much testing, so far no reboots nor freezes. QuickMemo works fine, new performance settings are nice. Only problem is, HW keys LED-s don't work, and my back button isn't working. Going back to older build. Thanks anyway Tony :o

edit: don't think I'm complaining, just stating what happened to me. I appreciate you and your work. You bring life to this device (ok, now i'm just flattering xD)
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
You can cut it down a lot more. 2 keyboards and 2 dialers. The Google ones work better than the non-Google which I remove (like 40MB). No point to have both, especially not keyboards, I remove the one in system/app.

Anyway, I will also test the new build when I get home, I am only hoping that the media bug is fixed with the CM sources :)

Thanks again tony!
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
It might be my phone which is causing me some troubles lately, but in my tests it hasn't been stable - that's why I put that big warning out there.

But LED backlight and the back key certainly work for me like a charm.Then again, I did do a full wipe.

For those who don't know yet, you can finetune your buttons at Settings - Buttons - Backlight (similiar to the control in KowalskiManager but with an timeout option).

Regarding the complaining part. Don't worry, you can (and should) post about issuses (as well as about working stuff) to help others figure out if the ROM suits them.

This certainly isn't complaining!!

I've been talking about those demanding people who constantly ask about fixes or stuff or do unhelpful one liner posts rephrasing for the 30th time that feature xyz isn't working.

Did you read my announcement? I explicitelly stated there that I removed both the Google dialer and Google keyboard (so now only the AOSP versions are in there).

The reason I kept the AOSP instead of the Google keyboard can be found in the discussion here:

https://github.com/tonyp/android_vendor_google/commit/e4bb001378d68a224c30f55b98e594ffa1ff28f8

Personally I'd prefer to keep the Google one as it's smaller in size and got more functions, but that it doesn't have all languages certainly is a strong point I will accept.

I always use Swiftkey anyways, so I don't care too much hehe.
[LG Optimus 2x] mind_challenge:
I will try and do a full wipe later, and test some more. I'm glad you're still updating this ROM.

Right now, the only thing that I need is QuickMemo, other stuff I can get with Xposed.

Other than that this ROM is perfect for me as a daily driver ("stable" version, the one before this alpha)
[LG Optimus 2x] aftermath85:
after the update, it works like a beast here.. thanks to your work, i missed this hardkeys
[MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION] how can i use the 213 dpi? in your next build can you include that features to.. ^__^

if its not time consuming, but disregard my request if it is..

thanks a lot :good::good::good:

Dirty install from previous build + kowalski alpha20

Is it me but this rom feel smoother...the vibration smoother also...but quickmemo still fc..is it because dirty install?i deactivate performance control and use trickster instead (previously use trickster)

I'll try to wipe cache and install quickmemo again...i hope it'll work

About dpi setting..i'm using buildprop editor,just change density setting...i'm using 200dpi and no prob..for other app just use app setting + xposed

Thnx tonyp :thumbup::thumbup:

I think this ROM will work better and more stable with M1. 3.1 still doesnt work as fluid as M1. Right?

Pengus is working on 3.1, but M1 has like a year of work, it is more daily-driver kernel and not many issues were reported if any at all with M1. What you think guys?
[LG Optimus 2x] sodade21:
how is bluetooth in this rom? in 10.2 the bluetooth is practicaly useless.. with this rom can i connect my phone to my car obd2 and other devices? i dont care/mind about bt calls... how good or bad is battery life?>

Im CM11 26/12 the bluetooth work fine with the generic ODB2.

The only problem with Bluetooth is the handsfree. no sound. I am awaiting information about it. Permission settings solved the problem of the hands free operation?
[LG Optimus 2x] sodade21:
Thanks for the answer regarding BT and odb2! :) do you have any clues about GPS as well..specifically for navigation apps/google maps etc ?
[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
Do not use M1. This ROM is only supposed to be used with 3.1 kernels because of Wi-fi drivers

I`m sorry but you have to test it yourself with your own devices. In some it may work, others it won't. We appreciate you give us your feedback!

Well i've just done doing that, all OK here..

In my case iv'e just noticed that Apollo is not instaled by default...Anyone else?
[LG Optimus 2x] pijas82:
hi

need full wipe?
[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
I recomend a full wipe.

I did it just in case (não vá o diabo tecer-las)
[LG Optimus 2x] cabral.bh:
I can only speak about Waze.

Works without any problems

But if it works with it should work with all others.

Remember, im talk about the version off CM11 from 26/12.
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
Brother, we know, thats not what I meant..

Pengus calls his thread: [stable: M1 (2.6.39.4) - exp: Alpha 28 (3.1.10)]

You see, M1 = developed kernel, can call it finished. 3.1 = well, its alpha.

So, I suggest.. Future CM11 build are with M1 wifi chip as long as Pengus has M1 has stable and 3.1 kernel as exp, We use this ROM as daily driver now, so M1 should be used because its more stable you know.

We get back to 3.1 when Pengus makes this: [stable: (3.1.10)]

PS: With 3.1 I do like 5+ reboots per day because Wifi doesn't respond properly after switching it on. It says its connected, but you cant browse or anything on the web. Lots of reported bugs on 3.1 while 2.6 is stable and almost no bug reports :)
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
the 3.1 is already pretty stable - remember when pengus called his alpha's exp? everyone used them anyway - and M1 is just exp126

Now it is the same again - 3.1 is stable and completely usable as daily driver, i have no issues except a wifi driver crash every 3-5 days, which needs a reboot.
[LG Optimus 2x] Peppe91:
No more issue with stock superuser.. I tried to flash supersu linked from Pengus(to let work Viper) but with latest build it doesn't work.

Since this morning the latest build doesn't seem at all an alpha! You're a great man Tony!

Inviato dal mio LG-P990
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
I do find performance and wifi better on 2.6. More lagg on 3.1 I think.

And with Wifi, I have not had any crash at all in all my time on 2.6, now with 3.1 I have a lot, every time I switch wifi on I think it won't work properly.

I am not saying 3.1 is not good, all im suggesting is to use M1 for another month or two until 3.6 is as stable but you can compare 3.6 with M1. Guess its long time since you was on M1 so you might not remember its performance, but if you try it again today, you will see M1 is better :D
[LG Optimus 2x] marcof93:
Ok, we are using this ROM as daily driver, but TonyP already talked about this: This ROM is a beta, it is a test and I think that also 3.1 kernel is working good now..so I don't see the problem :)
[LG Optimus 2x] echo_21:
In principle I agree. And, there were 2 changes at the same time making it harder to find out which change produces a new issue: we changed from CM10.2 to CM11 and from 2.6 M1 to 3.1 alpha.

BUT: how can an alpha kernel get more mature if it is not used because of lack of a compatible ROM?

As [MENTION=3605868]tonyp[/MENTION] like [MENTION=3783116]pengus77[/MENTION] doesn't use the P990 as his daily driver and his time is limited anyway, I don't see that he is willing to support 2 CM11 ROMs (KK 2.6 M1 | KK 3.1).

Thus, if I was allowed to vote I would vote for continuing with CM11/KK 3.1 alpha.

You may still use CM10.2 as a stable ROM/kernel 2.6 M1 system. Of cause you would have to wait for RAM improvement by KitKat then. But the same is true for TRIM support that is missing in KK 2.6. M1!
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
I clap to you my friend.

Very fine thinking. I did not think of that, so yes I also agree with you, stay with 3.1 and lets try to make the best of things :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] BS86:
i started to use 3.1 with TheROM build 26, and the performance with 3.1 was a lot better compared to 2.6 (I did no wipes) only multitasking was a pain because of no ramhack, and even when going to build 27 with bcmdhd-support the only real issues i had was ramhack-related - now on CM11 with its better RAM-usage, i really have no need to switch back to 2.6, because my phone is more then fluid. and a reboot every 2-5 days is definitely not a problem. it does not reboot itself, i can choose to do it.

If you have so much problems with 3.1, then post logs or it did not happen ;)

Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this! :) I will test it as soon as I have the time.

I just started learning about cooking ROMs myself and I hope I may be able to contribute something to bring the p990 closer to KitKat some day. :D So far I have only managed to build cm 10.1 with no changes at all to the source.

These are the resources I used to build cm 10.1 in case others are interested:

How did you fix camera?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Here's a late christmas present. I managed to squeeze in another CM11 build.

cm-11-20131226-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip

The new build comes with bcmdhd support as well, so you will have to use pengus new kernels.

Make sure to always update the latest versions as soon as [MENTION=3783116]pengus77[/MENTION] does his magic.

If there are kernel related problems make sure to post logs into pengus thread.

For ROM related problems you don't have to bother to post logs, these still are my own alpha builds where I don't provide support.

Apart from that I think I managed to fully fix the internal sdcard mounting. Apps aren't complaining anymore.

This means: The camera is working now as well. But due to the alpha kernel it still is a bit flawky (green screen etc.).

For me the external SDCard still doesn't get mounted properly.

But as I've seen at a video from [MENTION=2813698]Custom40[/MENTION] that the ext sd works for him like a charm, this might be on my end, only.

I dirty flashed over TheROM (which I can't recommend, but as I don't support this ROM anyways I don't really care what you do with it :cowboy:), my external SD still isn't mounted properly and shows as empty.

Changelog:

switch to bcmdhd & 3.1 kernel (kk alpha 15)

fully fixed internal storage

removed the CM crap (CM Account, CMUpdater, CMFota)

synced to the newest CM11 sources

I want to update all my ROMs with bcmdhd support by the end of the year, so you should see a clean CM10.2 update as well in the coming days.

[MENTION=4640273]Fíghter02[/MENTION]: Please keep the working/not working post up to date or ask someone else to maintain it.

I've just seen that it doesn't even reflect the status from the last build, which did fix the major bugs (like hot reboots on screen off).

This gives a totally wrong impression of the current status.

I believe the new update actually might be suitable as a daily driver for some, so far I did not notice any major bugs.
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
Sure, I thought of it, but then I dont know if it makes any difference since I have seen logs of same issue in a number of posts :)
[LG Optimus 2x] sodade21:
Im using the 26/12 CM11 version as well.

I Tested the Bluetooth with OBD2 generic device. It was paired fast and solid and the app Torgue pro and obd doctor app worked flawlessly!

Also I tested the GPS with GPS Fix found many satelites in less than 8 sec. also the GPS app Sygic worked pretty nice.

I checked the camera and worked very good. i think u have to press the screen first so it can focus and not get that very high flash effect. and the orientation was right. I didn't had much time to play with the cam app but the one time pic was great. i didnt tried the video rec at all.

Also the rom recognize my ext sd card perfectly on the phone and on the pc via usb. so no problems there at all.. Still I have to check call capabilities and sms.
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
Okay, been testing the Alpha. This post is not exactly much help for devs, just want to share what i have seen with the Alpha (i did full wipe):

1. Back key dont work. BUT screen off etc to other HW keys does work, yaaay!

2. Had one freeze followed by a hot reboot while in file manager browsing some things. i know, no logs, sorry.

3. This is the screen when it booted first time and pretty much after every reboot, but screen becomes normal again after little usage: see attachment

4. Weird but MTP wouldnt work, PC didnt read the phone, mass storage did read the phone for a sec but then the phone had a hot reboot lol again no logs.

5. very very very good news: Pause / resume media bug explained in this post --- FIXED!!

again, this is just to show how the alpha was for me to those who are not sure if they want to flash or not, but test all you want :D

[LG Optimus 2x] pengus77:
For those of you having issues with the hardware keys (not working after dirty flashing) I found reason and solution ;)

Most probably you had (like me) the google keyboard selected as default before flashing the new build... which removes it. This leaves the rom without a default input system, which in turn blocks also the events from the hw buttons (excluding home apparently). To fix this, just go to settings -> input and click the little settings icon on the right of the aosp keyboard. By doing this, that keyboard will become the new default one and everything will work again. Have fun ;)

I made a first clean install of 2014.01.20 and for the first time had BSOD and weird no-signal lapses. Trying asecond one with more carefull steps in personalizing it. But from what I read, dirty flashing over 2013.12.26 is giving best results. If this second clean install doesn't work, I'm gonna try dirty install over my last 2013.12.26 backup.

For me and for now is clearly a test build, as Tonyp said. But I'm grateful to have it, on the way to next release.
