[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
I have. It is a CM12.1 clone with a custom theme, and some nicely added features.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
Like...?

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rinoaxda:
What features ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Let's see. It has clock customization, app side bar (a circle one too), recents menu customization, and many more I can't remember off the top of my head. :p

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Lol if I recall safestrap allows for ROM slots... ;) flash and decide if you like the features they're all under the void.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
True... But I've flashed A LOT of roms A LOT of times and now I'm kind of settled with LS :)

I asked to see is there something worth and maybe more what this rom has to offer...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
I don't own spyder but on my DNA it's snappier than cm and has a kickass stock theme. Has app side bar and supersu as its root management apk and some other stuff but if it ain't your cup of tea then don't flash it. I don't have to vouch for it I was just sharing the love for you spyder boys :p the only downside to me is they recently made settings dual column and it looks bad on smaller screens, was thinking of reverting the commit but I'm lazy lol quick question does this autoflash supersu or is this ROM affected by omap4's retarded updater-script override that makes other ROMs not use their own script?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
SuperSU is not automatically flashed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
God that is so freaking stupid. Okay two options

1: flash supersu

2: I can unzip, edit and zip the ROM to auto flash.

Lol might be the first sine I am lazy ??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Just flashed it (UMTS-spyder-version) in slot 1. It's booting. First impression: It's very responsive, and the settings menu is a kind of different from the other ROMs. More compact. I am going to test it further. Think this ROM is as least as good as my favourite one, the Resurrection-Remix.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] studymadara:
so hows everything?? like after all apps are loaded does it lag?? or any other issues??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Oh, I was too euphoric.... I have lots of force-closes of different apps, which I don't have in Resurrection-Remix.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kraven234:
Dont save wifi conections

wen restart the phone all wifi conections is gone.(umts_spyder version)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Last I recall that was a cm issue as well on omap4. In the op I have stated that this has all cm bugs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kraven234:
well, after 3 o 4 reboots the phone start magically to save the wifi connectionts.;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kraven234:
now have intalled cm12.1 and dont have that bug.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
[MENTION=5660618]Oggie7797[/MENTION]: When can we expect the next build? - I mean this ROM is and was very promising. Except the included bugs (FC apps), but that could have been fixed thru the further development. - And thx for your work!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
I have been busy getting all my paperwork to join the air force all done so android has taken a bit of a back seat :p last night I synced the testing branch of Validus and added an overlay to bring back single column settings but I'm getting issues with java so I need to remove java and reinstall openjdk. Thanks for your patience and expect a build either Monday or Tuesday.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
You are going to join the Air Force! I hope all goes well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Thanks!

Edit:

Fixed my java issues gonna start compiling for my DNA, then spyder, then umts later tonight. Uploading may be a little issue as it will be super slow. Gonna just upload to afh. Keep an eye out or check tomorrow. Thanks for your patience guys and expect single column settings to return (thank God for overlays)

Edit2:

I have the builds just can't upload them lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Humza Arain:
Oh Nice
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Haha, ok. Short hint: Copy your ROM-files on a flash-drive, jump into your car, drive to an internet-cafe next to you and upload them from there. Or maybe there's an open WiFi in your neighbourhood. :) - Noooo, just kidding, we can wait for the builds for a few days.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
I'm currently in the sticks (our lake house) closest town is a Walmart bout 30minutes north and as far as my neighbors....they're all older and out of range and my closest neighbor I can get 2 bars on my porch but I've spent 12hours before using cowpatty and a 40gb dictionary (for brute force guessing) and couldn't crack his WiFi. Lol and I don't like em good enough to ask for the password. Sall good I will try to get a spot of 3g (maybe even 4g!!) Tonight on top of my fridge and hotspot to upload haha sorry folks :p

Edit:

Both spyder up on afh!

Changelog:

I fixed updater script to show validus tag and flash supersu

Brought back single column settings

Merged cm commits..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Kewl! - That proves: Even as a country boy youre somehow part of the www. ;)

P.S.: I live also at the countryside. With only a 2 MBit dsl-line. And that in the year 2015 in an industrialized country. - What a shame!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Lol I don't live at home anymore just come back on weekends. During the week I'm near the city and have excellent service and internet speed. I range from 1.2MB/s-5MB/s but average around 3MB/s. Byte, not bit. 3•8=24mb/s ;) let me know if these builds boot and whether or not supersu gets flashed. I don't own spyders :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
It boots on ROM-slot 2. The included latest SuperSu (2.48) is also working flawless. Until now I couldn't discover any obvious bugs. It was a wise decision to go back to 1-column-settings. All in all this ROM is very responsive (even if I installed it in slot 2, which tends ROMs to behave slower than installations in stock-slot). Maybe it's the best ROM for spyders right now. Will continue my test, especially if the force-closes still exist, which I noticed in the former build.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Yea the devs prefer dual column but I personally prefer single..anyway, thanks for testing and your feedback.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
2 APK's in the ROM have to be updated:

- Nova Launcher: Still on V3.3, the latest is V4.0.2

- Android System WebView. => Must be updated to V44.0.2403.90 .

Edit:

Android System WebView could be a part of the flashed Google-apps (I'm not sure). So maybe my gapps-pack is just outdated (TK-Gapps from 2015-08-16).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Those have nothing to do with me. I don't develop the ROM I'm just a maintainer. Thanks for reporting though
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreikk91:
Can you build this rom for Droid 4?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
I can, just have to add device repo to my manifest. Just means another 2hr+ build. I'm already building for my DNA and both spyders. I'm working on some kernel stuff for my DNA I'll see about adding maserati when I'm finished..

Edit:

Had a few minutes so I forked and modified and started a build while I head to the store. I could test flash on my maserati but its been dead for almost 2 months
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Latest build for Spyder (XT912) works great. SuperSU also flashes along with the ROM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreikk91:
I can test this rom if you unload it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
The build failed and I honestly don't have the time to track down errors but the device repo is on my github. I need some help tracking a bug though guys. Please test whether or not you get a hot reboot when you make or receive a phone call. Need to see if my builds missed commits either ROM related or of the bug is on my device. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
I uploaded a version of the Validus-ROM which includes the actual Nova-Launcher (V4.0.2).

Validus-ROM V8.0 + Nova-Launcher V4.0.2 (UMTS_Spyder) (2015-08-21) <KLICK>.

Hope you don't mind, Oggy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
You do realize you just have to go to play store and hit update....right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Yes, update + not to forget flashing the updated app into the ROM (if you want to do it right). And especially that transfer into the ROM (with Titanium Backup) often fails in Lollipop-ROMs.

But anyway: I noticed, that the force closes of apps still exist (and not too less).

Okay, I restored the apps with Titanium Backup. So I tought for the first this would be the cause for it. But even after deinstallation, completely deleting the data and cache of the concerning app, re-downloading from the play store, they still close short after starting them. So there must be something wrong with the ROM. In Resurrection-Remix those apps work without any problems.

I give two examples where that happens, just to check out for others: "Ab ins Kino" (a german cinema-app) and "Clever tanken" (a price-compare app for petrol). And there are several other apps where it also comes to FC's. As it is at the moment, the ROM is quite unusable. At first glance (before installing apps) everything looks great, but when using it, you run into problems. Not your fault, Oggie, I know. Someone should tell this problem to the devs. Can you?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Even if I tell the devs nothing will happen. The problem isn't with he ROM its with the device's old hardware. I've had a bionic and droid4 and was used to lags and force closes but I've updated to a DNA and I have no bad experiences. Validus runs very fast on my device and everybody else's. Lollipop on the ompa4 platform is almost unusable to me and that's why I usually stuck with slimkat :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Mmmm. Okay, I understand. I am not very experienced, but maybe an exchange of the kernel fixes the problems. I will use the Resurrection-Remix' kernel as base combined with this ROM and make some quick tests. I'm really curious if that changes anything for the better. Will report later about the results.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
I'm back: As hoped the test passed off positive. All FC's have gone when (dirty-)flashing the Resurrection Remix-kernel (okay, only tested with the formerly mentioned two problematic apps, but I'm sure it's now working for all). I just had to reinstall the Google apps.

[MENTION=224808]Oggi[/MENTION]7797: Maybe you can make builds for the Spyders in the future with the toolchain (? - or however it is called) of this kernel included in your Validus-ROM? - Even your own devices could profit from that step. Because this kernel is one of the fastest known.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
RR is cm based. I build straight omap4-common kernel with this. If you're using lollipop your best betvis to use joojoobees kernel.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] uwie77:
I build rr rom. Yes it's cm based and i don't modify anything. I think it's optimization rom it's self. Trying to build another rom (carbon, team radium, candy5) with another toolchain it's fast (imo) but lack of multitasking. Like you said, jojobees kernel is good.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Guys, hold on! I don't want to make you mad and search for bugs which aren't existing for real. I must check something now: Maybe I was talking bullsh*it, when I told you I have FC's on certain apps. To be exact: The FC's I had indeed, but the closer I think about it , the more I'm sure, that it was because I tried to move an update of that Android System WebView to the system-ROM. But this nasty Titanium Backup began to hang, and didn't finish it (I was waiting at least 5 minutes), so I just restarted the device and believed that everything was alright, as this happens quite often with TB in the later days. When I was looking in the app-manager of TB now, where all apps are listed, I couldn't find that Android System WebView anymore. So maybe this is the cause for my FC's. Just wait a little, I will check if my assumptions are really true. I will setup the system from scratch, will not make any updates and install the problematic apps for first. If they work, I was right now. - We will see....

Sorry for all that! :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Okay, it's now confirmed. All things are as stated in the post above. - Which means: NO force closes in the latest Validus-ROM! - They happened just because the Android System WebView was gone on my system.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
[MENTION=5660618]Oggie7797[/MENTION]: Maybe you have find some time for building an update of the Validus-ROM for spyders? - Sources of V8.1 are already out now. With the last build I had the serious problem that the phone rebooted when I tried to make a phone call.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Thanks for reporting that! My DNA had that issue for several builds so I had a really hard time debugging where the issue was device side. Since it affected you spyder boys too must of been ROM side..I haven't released any updates in awhile, sorry been busy. I'll try to shoot off a build of val for spyders and my DNA and then a new build of Tesla this weekend. (If I remember)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Thanks for still being active on that topic. - Will test if the phone-bug is gone, when the new build is up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Just finished building validus for my dna, when spyders finish I'll upload and update this post. Thanks for your patience everyone :)

Edit:

Spyder is done and umts is about half done should be done soonish. BBQing so I'll upload afterwards when's alls said and done ;)

Edit2:

38.5gb of space just for 600mb worth of ROM zips :p keep an eye out on my afh I'm upping now

Edit3:

Everything's up. Please report bugs, or even if they flash...don't own spyder so can't personally test these.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Okay, just downloading.... Will report what's wrong or if the phone call-bug is yet eleminated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] I was actually able to get this to compile for maserati, if you wanna crack flash that'd be cool :P I am not going to make a new xda thread for it though

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=40326

Edit:

Guys I forgot about omap4's retarded updater-script override! Sorry but SuperSU must be flashed with this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
1. New version is booting for UMTS-Spyders in slot-1.

2. Will check later, if phone call function is working, if the accu is loaded.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
[MENTION=6115023]dreikk91[/MENTION] mind testing? I'm a bit curious if it even boots
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
No reboots when making phonecalls anymore.

but:

I experience FC's from the Google Play Store after each update/installation of an app. Using the latest TK-Gapps Micro.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Glad the reboots are fixed....try a different gapps package maybe? Redownload?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nmambre:
Downloaded and flashed last night to the "Safe" slot (using Mentor's SafeStrap and flashing ramdisk for CM12.1).

Booted correctly and could install a couple of apps, getting FC's of Playstore after some of the installations.

Weirdest part is that apparently the phone won't charge via laptop's USB, only with wall charger. Same happened with a CM12.1 nightly. Using same cable with LiquidSmooth KK on Stock slot charges correctly. I'll make space on the phone and create Slot 1, and how it works there, to know if it is a ROM issue or something with the Safe slot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
If you have a fc or bug with cm, expect to have it with validus ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nmambre:
I don't mind the FC's (yet), just the not charging part... I haven't seen anybody reporting it in CM12.1 threads, where most people use stock or other slots, so that's why I think it may be related to the Safe slot (unused partition).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
All that done already. With a complete reinstallation and Open-Gapps you get the same FC's. - So it's a bug in Validus itself. We have to wait for the next update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreikk91:
Hi, firmware started and working well. If there are any problems will write:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
I build testing branch of validus so it might be missing a commit or two from cm lol so yea an update may fix it. I always had fc on lollipop with omap4

Sweet
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ryan8r:
Thanks for taking your time with it .. Been using this one since over a month with calling reboots and all .. Glad it's fixed

This ROM has the best performance among other LP ROMs for RAZR ..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Thanks, I'm glad you like the rom! As said in the op, I don't own Spyders. If you don't report bugs I have no clue they exist. So if you have issues tell me! It's much better to let me know than to deal with annoying bugs :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ryan8r:
No complaints , I only use my RAZR for mail and docs .. I have been dormant at xda I'll admit due to work and stuff ..

Will try to report bugs with catlogs when possible
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nmambre:
I've created ROM Slot 1 and installed it there, and the phone can be charged with USB port of laptop again. Also, I tried an LiquidSmooth KitKat on the Safe Slot and the phone was charging too. So it may be a problem with CM12.1 and the Safe slot on XT912.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Make surw to use pastebin so your logs dont clog the thread

Possibly from modifying the ramdisk? I personally didn't like the safe slot. I used mentor's safestrap with my droid4 because it had no splash screen (faster boot)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
Going on vacation for a week, so don't expect builds but there's always a chance I could get enough signal and time to sync and fire off a build and upload.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
Okay, we're waiting....

.... and hoping.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dhaway_2200:
Great rom, using this for almost 2 weeks. No problems so far, but I have some issues here. When enabling tethering & portable hotspot always back to off. Do I miss anything here? Any solutions? Thxs for feedback
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankonia:
How about an update?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oggie7797:
I know I said something about building a month ago, but I have a personal life and I had build errors for the device I actually own and haven't had the time to sort through them, but it is now compiling. I very explicitly have it stated that I don't own this device so that inevitably means it ranks low on my to do list. I do this for free in my spare time. A build puts my computer out of commission for 3-4hrs and when I build for one spyder I have to deal with the other and then Maserati and that adds up when you consider Validus for my daily device and Tesla for it as well. That's 5 roms @3-4hrs per. That's assuming I have no errors. On top of this I have been trying to enjoy time with family before I ship for bootcamp. Sorry if I am coming across as a little edgy, just tired.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Funny123:
Please help i just Try to flash a custom Rom via cwm and i clean the rom but i didn't unlock the boot loader and now its stock in black Please help !! what i suppose to do :confused:

Xperia V

Thanks in advance -
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerp29:
A week or so ago I found the name of a manufacturer who produced a transceiver that had a frequency range of something like 700 to 3.2Ghz continuously. This made me think that the frequencies used in the cell operators different systems may essentially be simply(or not) programming in the frequencies of e.g. AT&T vs T-Mobile vs ??? and excluding the others. I was thinking how could the manufacturers (China) of cellphones possibly have specific chipsets for each of the dozens of customers? It seems to me that having a versatile chipset and code would be the only logical way of manufacturing gazillions of cell phones.... Any ideas on this thought of mine?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerp29:
Much thank you very much for your in depth response I'm not sure that I understand whether or not my question was answered however I do believe that there is customization other than just coding the radio that must be dealt with so it is that indeed these phones are customized and manufactured differently from each other thank you so much again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ND4SPD:
I have been currently making another ROM kitchen to use but I have gotten stuck. When trying to use BuildOS create the new dump, I always get an error creating registry with a dialog that says "The system cannot find the file specified."

I dumped the ROM with Tadzio's revised IMGFS tools and used PackageTool to create the OEM and SYS folders.

Where are the default.hv and user.hv files located?

Any suggestions?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Does the error say anything else? Usually this indicates an error in one of your packages (possibly a syntax error in a .rgu file). Try disabling some packages in the OEM folder (either uncheck them in buildos.exe or move them out of the OEM folder to some holding folder) and see if it will run to completion. If it does, then move them back one at a time to find the offending package. Then go look at the .rgu file.

Also verify the files are saved in Unicode (.rgu, initflashfiles.txt) as that can cause issues too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ND4SPD:
OK. I tried to fix this by unchecking all of the OEM packages. I still got the error. It shows the same error. On the status bar it says, "Error, last status: "Creating Registry..."". I then get the dialog mentioned before. When I do the same thing through Anichillus's kitchen, it works perfectly with the same OEM and SYS folders.

Is there something wrong that I'm doing in the dump procedure that could affect this?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Ahhh... I had a similar issue with the Faria Kitchen rom and trying to move it to other kitchens. There seems to be slight variations in buildos.exe. Never figured out exactly what it was... You can just take the buildos.exe from Core Kitchen and move it to the one you are using now (that gets the errors) and it will work. I think it has to do with where it expects to find certain files, but from what I could tell they all work exactly the same.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ND4SPD:
Just tried that too. Got the same error. I don't remember, but I think I had already gotten the BuildOS from the Core Kitchen. Sorry, but do you know of any other versions that work? Or if it isn't to much trouble, do you think you could attach the version you are using?

Could you tell me if this process is correct or if there is something in this that is causing the problem?

1. Split the Rom with typho5

2. Split the nb with ImgfsFromNb or prepare_imgfs

3. Dump from bin using ImgfsToDump or viewimgfs

4. Use PKGTool and make packages

5. After adding/removing packages, use BuildOS to recreate ROM

6. use BuildImgfs to recreate the bin file

7. use make_imgfs to recreate OS file

Thanks for your time
