You should be able to repack the fstab and init scripts so as to use the f7a's internal /sdcard partition along with the external SD.

You'll also need to update storage-list.xml - I haven't done framework XML repacks in AGES but apktool on framework-res.apk might do the trick.

[MENTION=4355924]MrColdbird[/MENTION] the camera flash / torch etc. is more than likely a kernel thing.. i'm not 100% yet. pretty sure i have the sysfs path for it, but it's still not working after modding the perms and including a relevant change to the kernel.. still needs some digging.

quesitons:

1 - can I flash it with CWM Recovery ? kind have more trust in in, no idea why

2 - is there a stock recovery somewhere if I will decide to go back to ColorOS ( Those gestures are really awesome )
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] housry23:
1. Yes, most likely

2. Yes, Oppo has provided the stock recovery and Roms. I'm not sure if anything will be messed partition wise, but the files are there.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
I made sure to leave the partitions intact. Just some rewiring here and there.

So yes, you guys can fall back to ColorOS whenever you feel like.

As for CWM, I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to use it.

Just bring some brain when you do this and take the right steps and everything will work out fine.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] marianoitalianoo:
than android backup should do the trick in case of going back to COS I suppose..
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Indeed. As long as your color-os backup contains at least boot, system and data partition everything should be fine (for a restore).
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:

Something is not quite right for me. I re-flashed after re-downloading and still had the fast charge reboot issue.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
If the wipe is all that fails you, then just go in via adb or any file manager of your choice and wipe the slate clean yourself.

You can also go in without the internal_sd wipe, but then you won't have the full 10GB capacity at your disposal as some space will be preoccupied by your previous internal_sd data.

You can always wipe that data out manually after installing the rom via root explorer + root permission rights though, so no need to panic if recovery refuses to do the job.

EDIT: italiano, if you need assistance I can lend you a hand via TeamViewer in about 10 minutes.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ayysir:

yeap def having reboot issues with vooc charger
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
I keep hanging it onto that VOOC charger over and over and it just won't reboot.

Can anyone of you guys give me a hint how you guys do it?

It's hard trying to debug something that doesn't happen to me.:rolleyes:

As for the ZIP flashing failures... that's odd. Works fine for me here.

Broken download / upload maybe? What's the error in the recovery log file?

As for previous questions "where are my old files" - in case you guys didn't wipe internal_sd correctly, they should be located in /data.

Either way. I guess I will check out for tonight. See you guys tomorrow. I hand this thread over to the american continent now, you guys should still be awake right?

Surprise me so that there are some news when I wake up.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] migueldias94:
Thank you so so much! I was hoping for this to come much later, but to be able to finally unlock all the potential my 7a has! I'll flash this on when everything works, i guess we're going to see a 100% stable version in no time.

Is there a way to use both the internal and an external SD card. I flashed this earlier and didn't see my Micro SD card. I can't commute without my music
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] crisahan:
how exciting!! finally a CM rom working (almost everything) on find 7a!!!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Chevyguy85:
Per the OP

INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL MEMORY USERS (as much storage as your SD-card can offer, for me thats 128GB)

1. Format your SD-Card as EXT4 and plug it into your Find 7(a)

2. Install TWRP Recovery

3. Install cm11s-oppo-find7a.zip followed directly by sdcard-data.zip

4. In TWRP Recovery do... Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Tick System and Cache -> Slide to Wipe

5. Reboot System
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] porky145:
That only allows you to use external storage. I would like to use both.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Bronyr:

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] housry23:
Shouldn't take too long. I think the instructions are backwards. You should wipe system and cache before flashing. Anyhow, when I flashed both zips wiped system and cache and rebooted I got stuck on the splash screen. Booted back in to twrp, flashed again without wiping since I already did and it worked fine.

Also, battery life has been very good so far. Much better than ColorOS. Also, with a screen protector on, scrolling was registering as taps on ColorOS. Not on this! Once the camera is fixed, this will be perfect.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jazzypit:
hi, i restore my previous backup of color os but now im a lot of file on my sdcard that i can't delete (system/app/data)

i try with root explorer but i have a message of error that it's impossible to delete it.

what is the solution for delete the files ?

Thanks for answer
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tomekpl21:
Thanks. Yea for the life of me I couldn't figure out why you would wipe the system after flashing it. I got a message asking if I was sure I wanted to reboot because there was no OS installed. No one said anything so I assumed maybe I did something wrong.

One thing I noticed is that Google wallet NFC payments should work when NFC is fixed unlike on the stock color OS version. :)

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

I am having the same reboot with fast charging issue so I will try to get some logs tomorrow. Also I had the install fail on me once but when I tried again it was all good. I installed without the SD card and then added an SD card later and it is not recognizing it. Not sure if that is the reason for the unified memory or if it is a bug.

[MENTION=3526956]rayfin[/MENTION]

VOOC charging is a kernel thing. The VOOC charger bug is only on the kernel from OTA2. Take the kernel from OTA1 and the bug is not present. BTW someone know how the partition layout of oppo7a looks like? I cant read it with "getvar all".
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] housry23:
Strange that it's hit or miss though. I'm not affected and I'm using the zip from mrcoldbird. I'll flash the boot.img to be safe anyway. Thanks for the info.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Should we move to the OTA1 kernel then guys? So we can iron out the VOOC charging bug?

What you say? If so I can add it to the bundle, even if it is just for the time being until we find a better solution.

Right now I'm trying some dark voodoo to get a selfbuilt Find 7(a) kernel going in combination with this ROM.

I'm getting "somewhere" but so far the result is worse than the prebuilt OPO kernel.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] marthell:
Thank you McColdbird for working on this. Too bad nothing happend on the american side during the night. I think it sounds like a great idea about the OTA1, if you got the time and energy =)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] dkotoric:
can't wait to put this on my 7a, which is out for delivery today
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Okay, I've built a new rom package with three changes:

1. Switched to OTA-1 Kernel (both internal and sd-card images now use this kernel as their base), fixing the VOOC charging reboots

2. Removed NFC Support from the ROM as it was broken anyway and caused a huge battery drain due to 24/7 restarting of the NFC service

3. Changed data default mode for sd-card images from ordered to writeback (this will greatly reduce the OS-lag for people using the sd-card images and allow for more / better asynchronous read / write operations!)

I'm uploading the new images right now, which should give you guys a big battery runtime boost and finally bugfree vooc charging.

So, this leaves us with only 2 more bugs to iron out... missing camera LED-flash and upside-down back-camera.

I still need to test if the OTA-1 kernel fixes the WLAN sleep bug or not, will report back after I tested this a bit more.

PS. I was able to reproduce the VOOC charging bug myself, so I can confirm this problem is gone for good now.

Thanks for the hint that the OTA-1 kernel does a better job with VOOC btw.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] marianoitalianoo:
there is something terribly wrong with me, I like actually ColorOS more, specially of-screen gestures, and from the bottom swype menu for gestures and the white notification toggles ...

do u think this can be cured ? :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
I do like ColorOS myself, so no blame on you. But so far it is even more glitched than this alpha rom.

EDIT: Alright, Upload complete!

CM11s V2 for Find 7(a): DOWNLOAD

SDCard Support Image: DOWNLOAD

Changelog:

*) Removed NFC Support (it was broken anyway, and consumed a lot of battery)

*) Greatly increased Battery Runtime (see above why)

*) VOOC Charging Support

*) SDCard Lagfix (for those using the SDCard Support Image, if you like benchmarks see appendum)

Flashing Instructions:

Same as the V1 release, check OP for more information.

Appendum:

SDCard Benchmark before Lagfix (128GB Sandisk SD Card):

27.82MB/s Read / 12.48MB/s Write

SDCard Benchmark after Lagfix (128GB Sandisk SD Card):

39.42MB/s Read / 12.55MB/s Write

A tip for SDCard users... when you format your SDCard as EXT4 for use with this ROM make sure you disable the EXT4 journal for even faster read / write operations!

This is a good guide on how to do that: http://fenidik.blogspot.co.at/2010/03/ext4-disable-journal.html
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] crisahan:
can't tell you how much we would like to thank you for the effort!

what i like about XDA and the android family is there are always people working days and nights for nothing just to make our life better!

great work!

but i would stick to colorOS(2.0) for now, as i don't find anything wrong with it so far. as soon as this CM11s has fix everything (especially the rear camera, oh man, this is the main factor why i bought 7a), i will give it go!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
I'm not much of a photographer but I am a completionist and don't like having broken functions.

I never used NFC in my whole life though and basically have the opinion that it is a overrated thing with no real use to it.

The only NFC spawned project I really like is paying for groceries with your smartphone, but outside of Vienna hardly any shops in Austria have it anyway, rendering this one "useful" side of NFC useless as well for me.

Sadly for NFC / Camera / LED Flash fix I would need some help here... I don't really know what is causing it (probably something inside the kernel, but I can't be sure about this until I actually find proof) - and even if it is the kernel... crafting a source based compatible kernel for this ROM will prove to be difficult (or maybe it just is for me).

So if anyone can contribute to fixing those 3 remaining bugs then please post in here.

Should we find a way to enable NFC in a working way then we can always re-add the NFC permission & apk files to the ROM to re-enable the NFC setting in the settings manager.

I'm glad you are enjoying this little project though.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] crisahan:
for me personally, i never ever used NFC even once, i knew what it can do but i just don't see where and when i will be using it.

i really wish someone can help you with this project, sorry i couldn't. im just a normal user with flashing new ROM OCD :crying:

can we get some help from the CM team or somewhere? just guessing...

NFC is messed up because Cm is using an old pn547 nfc. Led is also a kernel thing that also need ramdisk work as well
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
Storage configuration can probably be mostly fixed with a ramdisk repack. Only "challenge" (e.g. only thing outside of the ramdisk) is storage_list.xml - and I think apktool will do the trick for you there.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tomekpl21:

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] housry23:
It's because the OS and TWRP are using different partitions. It took me a minute to find it. In TWRP it's external_sd/media/0 that's where you will find your sdcard folders from this rom.

Just to add, I dirty flashed the update and it worked fine so far. I had to reroot, but no big deal. I just booted back into TWRP and installed the SuperSU zip.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Once you installed the setup once you can just dirty flash on top.

Makes this setup very easy to maintain once you migrated.

PS: there is no reason to externally root this ROM.

This ROM is prerooted (but it's disabled by default).

To activate root, update all things you haven't updated in Google play yet, then install / update supersu from it.

In supersu then uncheck the setting that says respect cm root settings.

That's it. You are now rooted.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] stimps403:
Root access

FYI. I was having problems with getting root to work. RootChecker said my phone was not rooted even after flashing supersu.

Solution: In SuperSU settings, uncheck "Respect CM root settings".

You probably use the internal storage rather than the external one (you didn't flash sdcard package).

OK, i think i might do this sooner than i think, at least as soon as the camera is working.

I just have one question, i'm not a total noob when it comes to rooting a device, installing recoveries, etc, i've been doing this since pretty much the beginning with my brothers Galaxy W (with the stupid file system), the only problem is, and in this aspect i truly am a noob, everytime i did something like this was because someone would ask me to, my brother, friends, sister, etc, and they didn't have any major content outside of their sdcard prior to flashing a new rom. My question is, my Oppo is full of my stuff, internally and externally, i've already installed Titanium Backup just because i kept hearing about it. What why want to know is, what's the best way to backup my phone in such a way that, if something goes wrong i just have to flash a zip to get me back exactly where i was before flashing CM, this meaning, Color OS plus all my apps, files, homescreens etc? TB has an option to create an update.zip file, but i don't know if that's it.

Please bear with my ignorance! :P
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Just do a full blown twrp recovery backup and save your internal memory data on your computer.

Should you wish to restore coloros at any time then you can go back by restoring the backup and formatting internal_sd in twrp after the restore.

Then just copy back your internal storage data and you are done.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] migueldias94:
How is the performance of the SDcard based ROM compared to the internal storage one?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Depends entirely on your sdcard and whether you followed my instructions for formatting it.

For the sdcard to work you need to have it formatted using the ext4 Linux filesystem.

That filesystem keeps an internal journal though and that is horribly slow on sdcards.

This can be disabled though and after you do that it's blazing fast.

So...

1. Format the sdcard with ext4.

2. Disable ext4 journaling on the sdcard (Google is your friend).

3. Install the sdcard package and plug the card into your find 7.

Performance is great if you successfully disabled journaling on your card, but it's mediocre if you didn't.
