Title says it all!

Wich firmware is recommended for AOKP/CM Kitkat roms??

As there is no thread for it neither it's described in the ROM threads

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamilmirza:
i think latest :silly: because lots of changes have been made after 4.4.2 release, IMO :laugh:

correct me if i'm wrong :angel:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] WozniakMac:
I have a Cingular 8125, with the 2.17 ROM, and here is my problem.

Whenever I hit the power button to turn the screen off it goes off. Then, when I hit it again to turn the backlight back on, and my screen stays dark. I can access the menus and such, but I have to do it while the backlight is off.

I have Handmark Pocket Express and SPB Pocket Plus on it, if that makes a difference.

Has anyone had this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] techspy:
That is a known poroblem with Pocket Plus. I had that happen, and was able to navigate to the backliht section in settings to turn the light back on. I removed the backlight slider from the today screen also. This only seems to happen once after installing pocket plus. After I turned the backlight back on insettings, it never happened again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] WozniakMac:
That stinks, because I turned it on and it still did it. Every time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dimushor:
i also have this problem, but i don't have spb pocket plus, i have spb backup
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TauTau:
I have the same Problem, Backlight not coming up. It's a bit different though, When the phone is only a short time off the USB cable, the light comes up normally. When the phone is disconnected longer, like 20-30 mins, it doesn't come back up. I can go to the Settings screen and switch it on there (the dial is all the way to the left when I go there), but next time it's the same.

I also have SPB Backup installed, but I think it's more likely to be PocketPhoneZen, which I also installed yesterday, and that was when the problem started. Guess I'll post something in their forum too...

Hello! So I've modded Xperia Z lockscreen for our xperia devices. I just want to share with you guys ;D

Tested/worked on device :

- All Devices.

- Stock/Custom ROM

Installation :

- Backup your old UxpNxtLockscreen.apk first, just incase

- You must remove your UxpNxtLockscreen.apk in system/app

- Your phone must have rooted.

- Flash the .zip via CWM or move the apk from the .zip to system/app

- Enjoy !

Ravike14 kernel

Info

Kernel 3.4.10 based on HTC Ville C2 kernel and SebastianFM kernel.

Features

Smoothness

Performance

Added support for overclocking (maximum CPU frequency 1782 MHz, maximum GPU frequency 320 MHz)

USB OTG without external power connector

Newest ION, ondemand governor, GPU, Android Binder and Android Low Memory Killer drivers from HTC One GE kernel

KSM

Changelog

1.0

initial release

1.1.0

i believe its fully functional now (camera is not being tested yet)

Bugs

compat-wireless source is not fully compatible yet.

P.S : Kernel devs if you're porting my kernel keep in mind that i've implanted TI compat-bluetooth to kernel it self so if you're porting just change everything related to BT to avoid weird issues...

also if you're using my kernel just give me some small credit after all i've spent countless hours on this :)

Source code

Ravike14 kernel source code

Compiler: GCC 4.6

Kernel version: 3.4.10

kernel is up to date sorry for delay i have a gay internet limit...if its not too much it'll be great if you can build a JB 3.4 rom to get some idea on audio and camera fixes cuz i'm kinda lost on them :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I will try however it will be rather difficult because your kernel is not very AOSP
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Well according to Sebastian when that bilal guy build the jb 4.3 rom for sensation basing his kernel he haven't had to change a thing.. Well rom building wise I don't know tho..
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
mobile data fixed! camera and audio to go

2 more hurdles to go :) BT not so sure :/
[HTC Amaze 4G] navneet_bhaskar:
Audio First bro :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Well for that I have to wait till sports or someone else build up a jb aosp rom :/
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
so we waiting for some one to build a new jb aosp rom

so who we do it :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
Any good news!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Nah mate still didn't get a rom.. I can't do anything without a aosp rom..everything's on hold till I get a aosp rom :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
this kernel is good to go for the JB sense 5 port yeah? in order to get the last few things sorted you need an AOSP ROM? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Yea every sense JB is based on my kernel at the moment, well audio and camera are strictly hardware related since HTC has removed every dependencies of their legacy devices all the HTC JB and higher roms lack those hardware related source to amaze.. So if I get a aosp rom I can get the necessary stuff and try merging them with Sense roms..still a long shot but that's the only workaround I can think of.. What Sebastianfm did is a lil more complicated and beyond my skills..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
from what i've searched around, there is an AOSP sort of ROM for the amaze, right? can you use that as reference? just asking :)

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

what about this one? can this be used in anyway?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2074963:confused::confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
all those roms use the stock kernel 3.0.16 .. my kernel is 3.4.10 JB all the drivers and boards are more updated in my source reason..all i need is someone to build an aosp rom using my kernel so it'll be better for the rom and will be easy aswell :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
For whatever it's worth, thank you for your work man. I'll be thanking you every time I see the amaze running a stable jelly bean with sense 5
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Yea I just want a sense 5 rom too,

I really hate delaying this anymore cuz I've already taken a huge amount of time but I really can't do anything without an aosp rom..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
i think everyone knows how hard you need to work in order to get here from where we started, especially knowing that the Amaze is probably the only phone who's drivers are so rare, the Sensation uses a more common chip therefore the drivers are much easier to change and merge... that's amazing to know you did so much for the Amaze. I was hoping, maybe a JB kernel for the Sensation might help, since the processor is the S3 version in both these phones, maybe we could get somewhere, i ain't no wiz like you guys, maybe it's worth a shot and give the ROM for testing, let's see how it turns out :silly:

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1907525

what about this kernel, can it be implemented in anyway? sorry, i'm just trying to help as much as i can :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Sensation already has fully working sense 5 jellybean, villec2 and sensation use almost same stuff other than main cam and audio also Sebastianfm is highly skilled.. It's not a kernel problem anymore as far as I know my kernel is fully functional by now it's just the rom lacks Amaze hardware details according to kernel..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
I'm trying to learn in the same process while conversing, so what lacks is hard ware configuration of the amaze even though the processors are same as the sensation but I think the updated camera and processor frequency is what's needed to merge with the kernel?

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

And it has to be an aosp rom, why not an aokp one?

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Sorry for asking so many useless questions, the 4.4 aosp version for the amaze isn't bad at all and has a lot of potential I'm sure the amaze can handle 4.4 with sense 5 easily... can that be used as an experimental build with your kernel to see how it works?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Ravike14 needs someone to take his kernel with android 4.1.2 (jellybean) aosp and compile the Rom.

There are files that are written from doing this.

We need those files.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
i just stumbled upon the Miui V5 for the amaze, that's based on an AOSP which is 4.2.2, the only non working is the usb as i understand but has a workaround, everything else seems to be fine , can that be used as a base for sense 5? :D:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
The processor alone doesn't cover everything.. Hardware wise audio, sensors, wifi BT gps, display boards the main board and modem for radios all are slightly different in amaze.. So they have different driver related codings some are small differences yet enough to mess things up... I've never compiled a aosp rom myself but I guess in compilation it takes some info from kernel an aosp dev can explain this better.. And no kitkat nor the miui roms been compiled with my kernel so they have the old drivers which isn't compatible with jb sense roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
so who would be the right guys to understand the coding stuff, i've tried contacting team venom to see if they can help assist in something, so far nothing, but i'll be on it as much as i can, really motivated to help you guys in anyway that i can :good::good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
We are already in touch with people that may help. But thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
That's motivating enough to keep the amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
upon reading, i found out the Cyanogenmod is based on AOSP, so wouldn't Cm9 or CM10 suffice for sense 5? its got most of the things working already ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
none of the aosp roms in amaze forum is build using my kernel thats the problem..all the roms been build using stock amaze htc kernel with slight modifications..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
Understood...:o
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
hey bro, this forum seems vacant lately, how's the progress with the ROM and the Kernel? :):)
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
jafferkahn

Jafferkahn, I keep visiting threads with recent posts to see what the news is, and find out they're from you, asking what the news is.

You can easily read the thread to see if there's any news, and don't need to keep asking the dev's to reply to you telling you what they will tell everybody when they have news.

Maybe the General thread is a better place to hang out for things that really oughtn't presume upon the dev's.
