Do you mind if I use your red theme on my upcoming 6.1 JustClean ROM?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MDANavymom:
So glad to hear you had a great time. And I hear you about the computers...been there done that. You never really realize how much you depend on them till they don't work!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
This looks great, when you get a chance could you make the blue dialer more like the red one? The red one has more of the clear effect then the blue one.

Thanks,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] simplicity05:
Dear herald and wing rom chefs,

Feel free to use any of my wallpapers that you'd like. You can also change the colorings as I have to fit anything you need. All I ask for in return is just a small blurb crediting me in your release posts. I hope to be able to get my 2 computers up and running at home in a timely manner so I can come back and continue working on other projects.

Thank you,

Simplicity05
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I like the blue one..

Hi,

I like the blue color one so I had to change most of my stuff....heheh
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] mrbelvedere:
For some strange reason, the little box on the dialpad (where the name/phone number is) is a different color blue than the rest of the box. Does anyone have any idea why this is so? I tried to attach an image but I don't exactly know how to do that yet....sorry.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
That's one of the reasons why I asked him to make it look the same way the red version is.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] joking:
Hi TTran,

I like the pic of the home image with the Open Touch work at the bottom. Whenever you have time can you upload that image? No rush though.

Thanks!

Hi,

Here is my version of the blue dialer.

Enjoy,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] simplicity05:
Hey guys and gals, wanted to get this bumped back up and also say I should be back in another week or so with some fresh content. Time to start mulling over some of my ideas!

Even better - I guess the new drive is here already. Should be up over the weekend.

Love the Darkness Themes thank you for them. Was wondering if there is more to each set somewhere like calculator and WMP skin and anything else that is skinnable? If not OK but would be nice to be 100% in theme with darkness.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] simplicity05:
Going to stick my neck way out here and say I honestly don't know how to go about doing dialer/wmmp/calc skins. If someone can throw me some links I'd be more than happy to learn :D
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] flipp0:
What do you guys think about the camera performance? For me the front camera is great but the rear camera is disappointing. There is often blur in the pictures, especially on the sides of the photo. Perhaps I got a faulty unit.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] LevsOG:
I have the same thoughts as you my friend, great performance from the front facing and nice to have front flash for those awkward moments but as for the rear facing camera I absolutely hate how when you from picture to video you really notice the difference and looks very tacky that's for sure. Quite sad to see no 60 FPS recording option but then again, it is a mid ranger so I can't have high expectations etc.

I do really miss using my Xperia X camera compared to the XA1 Ultra, boot up time on my X is insanely fast. Sometimes when booting camera from lockscreen can take 5-6 seconds to open which is slightly painful lol...

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
Don't suppose you could do an Ovation build as well?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Sure, let me finish Acclaim build, and I will start Ovation build. :)

But I don't have a Nook HD+, so I need you to help me test it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Check your XDA messages. I had sent you a Ovation test build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
Install went smoothly, and the system itself runs fine aside from a few long standing issues (Advanced Reboot -> Reboot to Recovery, plugging in the Nook will make it boot up).

Issues using this build vs verygreen's EMMC CM11 install 141129:

On initial boot it will prompt you to set up a Google account, even without a GApps package installed. This causes a CM Updater "crash" both with and without a Gapps package.

Both GApps packages I've tried have crashes on startup: PAGapps which worked on verygreen's (Now gives "There was a problem communicating with Google servers."), and OpenGApps ARM 4.4 Pico which had crashing issues before.

Amazon Underground (Amazon's App Store) crashes after logging in.

Given those two issues, it's hard to further test any other crashes/problems.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Would you by the chance have the CyanogenMod 11 Ovation Nightly 8-15-2016 build (latest one)? Maybe I can take some sources out of that.

***EDIT***

I had found latest build on, https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6f68b2wtf6db4/NookHD+

I will look into this problem. I will have another test build done later tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for your feedback. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Test 2 is done. I had sent you link threw XDA messages.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
I haven't tested much, but so far: Flawless.

Again, no errors during install/boot.

For the second wipe/install I installed the PA Gapps immediately after LNOS (no reboot), setup went fine but with one minor hiccup; everything worked, but kept offering to set up my Google account after I had logged into it. I simply hit Skip and the setup continued as normal, and everything was fine including Google Account/Play Store. -- This may have been a one-time 'accident', I didn't try to reproduce it because it wasn't a significant issue.

I did a second fresh install with GApps, this time installed OpenGApps ARM 4.4 Pico, and had zero issues. Everything set up perfectly fine.

After booting to the 'desktop' I installed my cable TV provider's app and the SyFy app (TV Station), logged in to both, and played a show without any problems for either app (aside from my Cable provider complaining about USB Debugging, after turning it off it was fine). I don't have Netflix/Hulu, but it seems there are no apparent problems with codecs/DRM.

Thank you so much for your work, and super fast turn around on this! :D
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ieatabiscuit:
What, exactly, is the value of putting this on our nooks instead of the current go-to ROM? I'm curious because I've been out of the loop with my nook for several months. Is this a more memory friendly but with the tweaks that the newer one has included, or is it just a matter of preference?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
I'm using 4.4 because it feels faster than M/N builds, the response/loading times feel more snappy.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ieatabiscuit:
That's what I was curious about. The M/N builds are great, but it just feels like the nook's showing it's age more with them. How does this new build rate against some of the now-dead KK builds? Does it feel newer, or is it just the latest release of the old stuff? Does the ROM use any of the newer tweaks from LNOS backported? Does it have that annoying screen flicker most older ROMs had? And how does youtube play on it (I have always had issues with it freezing during playback)? I might have to hop in line with you to be a tester for this on my ovation too!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
I'd say it's a "LNOSified" version of the CM11 ROM.

From the bit I've used it, feels just as good as the CM11 in verygreen's post... which is surprisingly good. I hopped back to 4.4 (well, 4.3, then 4.4) because the GUI of some apps I was using, and the UI itself at times, were feeling sluggish. I'm not sure I'd say it feels "newer" in the sense of KitKat vs Android L/M/N interface, but it does in terms of overall "snappyness" where things feel more responsive. I'm guessing it has some newer versions/commits of files, but that might be all.

The rest of your questions I'll answer without quotes to save on length:

I don't believe it uses any of the LNOS (or even CM) tweaks from 5.0+, but I don't know for sure.

I can't say how into this secretwolf98 wants to get, but so far I'm not sure if it "needs" any tweeks.

I never had the screen flickering issue untill Lollipop builds, and that was something Amaces fixed completely(?) in the M builds I think.

I didn't get to try out Youtube (yet), but I did try out my Cable Co.'s TV App (Live TV and On-Demand) and the SyFy app (On-Demand) and had no issues. I'll give that a shot tonight and give you an update on this post.

Just watched an 18ish minute video on YouTube, and didn't have any buffering issues.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ieatabiscuit:
Nice, I might have to look into this more, and poke at secretwolf98 to see what I can learn. Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
If you want Ovation, I will be posting it here soon as a thread in XDA. Stay tuned! :)

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] fanoush:
For me CM11 was great and fast but the lack of memory was more apparent than with current M/N builds. Typical is Firefox (with uBlock installed). With CM11 you can't sometimes even open single tab with some heavy page (like some long blog with lot of youtube videos) without running out of memory and crashing. Latest builds have zram swapping enabled and even a bit more physical memory available so Firefox works just fine even with many tabs. But yes swaping means it is sometimes slow when memory gets tight but it does not crash. Maybe CM11 with same memory layout and zram swapping enabled and tuned in same way would be even better? Haven't tried this build, maybe it already has some tuning like that?

Edit: This is with Ovation, most probably the memory pressure with Hummingbird is not so bad due to lower display resolution.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Did this ROM install for you? It let me install it in the past, but now it says failed to set_metadata_recursive.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ieatabiscuit:
I'll cheack, and let you know
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Ok, some reason the official CM nightly builds are saying it now. Only stock and LineageOS 14.1 installs correctly. Also UA AOSP installs correctly for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
After a bit more use, I've noticed that there seems to be some issues with flickering/scrambling/distortion on exiting(?) certain apps.

Without knowing the cause or really anything technical behind it, I'm pretty sure it's the same issue that amaces had back with Lollipop. So far it's just a graphics "glitch" that lasts 1 second or less and only when switching/exiting apps, but it might be an issue going forward with this ROM.

Edit:

Whoops, this was meant for the OVATION version.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ieatabiscuit:
I noticed I had lost the ability to turn the screen off by closing the case. It's as if the sensor was deactivated completely.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BultoPaco:
I've been playing with the Hummingbird version for several hours and I really appreciate the work you've done here secretwolf98. The size and display quality of the Hummingbird hold up well compared to newer devices and it's great to see you folks with the requisite skills keep it alive. Your approach to provide a great experience versus chasing the latest Android release makes perfect sense to me. This is my daily driver now as it appears to do everything well --- I've found no glitches in the video and text apps I've used?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Thanks, and your welcome :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] herges:
Thanks for this LOS 11 ROM. I've dirty flashed this on top of a previous CM 11 install and so far everything is working great and it even seems smoother then CM 11. Many thanks for your work!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Your welcome! :) Can you make a backup of LineageOS 11 (factory reset one)? It won't let me install 4.4.4 anymore ;-;

***EDIT***

Somehow I just fixed it.

I will try to make another 4.4.4 ROM for hummingbird soon.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
***UPDATED ROM***

Get the build from here, lineage-11-20171104-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip

Contains November 2017 security patch and much more.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
Reboot your computer and download it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] BultoPaco:
Okay, that was interesting. I could download the file with a PC but not directly to my Hummingbird. I tried multiple reboots and internet connections (work and home) with the Hummingbird.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:

Hi secretwolf98! Thanks for making the updates to Nook HD. Is lineage-11-20171210-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip stable enough for the daily driver?

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
I forgot to ask as well lol... been a bit busy packing and moving stuff.

I installed it, and an OpenGApps package and everything went perfectly fine. I haven't installed anything yet, I don't see it being an issue given how well the last (successful) build worked, but I will install a few things and give another quick test for streaming. If I run into any issues I'll update here, otherwise it's safe to assume everything went fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
ok.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] twiztid_:
Still working fine, but I can't seem to get root working.

There's no option to set it to Disabled/Apps/ADB/Apps+ADB in Developer Options. From what little I know, the files are in the proper place (the "su" file in /system/bin and /xbin). I tried making my own flashable zip based on the ones for 13/14 on the LineageOS Extras page, but that failed to flash (missing META-INF files), so I'm going to try manually moving the files where they should go, and if that doesn't work I'll flash the one for LNOS13 cuz I'm crazy like that even though I know it probably won't work.

One feature/request I have is adding F2FS support for the /data partition.

This may just be a placebo effect, and any improvements might be unnoticeable to a user/with our hardware, but I feel that F2FS has made things feel 'smoother' and any improvement on our aging hardware is welcomed in my book. ;D

XDA did a write up about it, and a fairly indepth benchmark back in 2015:

Write up: https://www.xda-developers.com/f2fs-put-to-the-test-against-ext4/

I think I falsely assumed twrp is a bootloader. If it isn’t then what is it?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] secretwolf98:
hummingbird = Nook HD (7 inches or 8 inches)

ovation = Nook HD+ (9 inches or 10 inches)

It matters what you install on.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ST Dog:
You need ovation stuff for the HD+.

TWRP is a custom recovery uswd for backing up and I stalling ROMs.

You don't want to mess with the bootloader.

I don't know what CM11 stuff you can still find. A lot of links in old threads are broken.
