This Rom is amazing i love it! I have the aicp_dumpling_o-13.1-NIGHTLY-20180112.zip there are a new version avalaible?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joel32137:
Hey all,

I currently own an 8525/Hermes and was thinking of upgrading to a Kaiser Tilt.

I mainly use my Hermes for video and music playback (using TCPMP), RSS Feeds, and traditional PDA functions such as calendars/email/contacts....

I am a bit hesitant however due to the video driver issues and GPS-Battery drain issues....

For all you past Hermes owners, in retrospect to your Kaiser purchase, do you recommend upgrading to a Kaiser or just keep the Hermes until HTC or our XDA developers finds solutions to the Kaiser issues?

As always, best regards to all and I do appreciate your advice :)

Thanks...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fb401:
In my opinion, my Kaiser crushes my old Hermes...but I'm also the type of person that doesn't care whether we get drivers or not. To me it's faster, cooler and I always use the internal GPS. I also use Newsbreak for my RSS feeds and have no problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I agree, I find my Kaiser to be better in every way than my 8525, no regrets whatsoever. I use GPS every day, Slingbox, watch many full length movies, photo viewing with the HTC album are great, streaming radio stations, it's all good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hollywould:
The only reason I have my Tilt, is because the screen on my hermes broke. If it hadn't, I would defately stuch with my hermes. I loved my hermes. The video playback was twice as good as the Tilt. And the keyboard was a lot nicer and easier to use. I would just wait and see what the driver upgrade brings. IMO
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joel32137:
Hi RemE,

Quick question.... do you have to encode/rip your full length movies (assuming you use divx or xvid codecs) to lower video bit rates and resolution to watch videos smoothly on your Kaiser?

What bit rates do you generally use for your videos? (I say generally b/c I'm sure these bit rates varies depending if the movie is an action movies vs non-action movies :) )

I'm just trying to get a gauge on the video playback performance of the Kaiser as compared to the Hermes :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I've always created my video content as Divx / Xvid at 320 x 240 audio at 96k stereo and a total bitrate between 475-500kb/sec. I've used these settings for hundreds of movies to be played on my Archos players (with 4" screens), iPAQ's (even the 4" VGA hx4700). They play perfectly on all of these plus the Hermes, and now the Kaiser. I've used TCPMP and Core players with great results. These smaller screen players just don't need higher rez content to be very enjoyable to watch on the go.

People can say whatever they like, but my movies look very good and sound great, even better with WOW SRS active. Benchmarks in TCPMP and Core run between 148-204% and I never see stuttering or artifacts.

I know that the video drivers would make the Kaisers better, but right now everything is "just" good enough for everything to work as one would expect. I use this thing all day every day and it's much better all-around than my 8525
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sarumiso:
There are a bunch of little things I like better about the Kaiser (better camera, stylus, spring-loaded slider, color scheme). But the built-in GPS really puts the it head and shoulders above the Hermes.

The video driver issue isn't a deal breaker for me yet (even if the Kaiser vs. Magician Tom Tom video made me want to cry). I don't really see the point of watching a full length video on my phone. I just hope they get the driver issue fixed by football season... Orb server plus Hermes gave my wife her weekends back last year.

I do think the keyboard on the Hermes was a lot better though. It's probably because they had to cram the GPS components into the phone, but the Kaiser keyboard seems less responsive.

For me, the perfect phone would be the Kaiser with a Hermes keyboard and decent video drivers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Malik05:
i miss my hermes camera more than anything. it took such great pix
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joel32137:
Thanks to all so far for your feedback :)

I'm sure there are a bunch of Hermes users curious about the Kaiser performance (as of today without the video drivers fixed) compared with the Hermes. There seems to be so many bad posts related to the kaiser (drivers,battery issues,random cracking screens without abusing the phone). Don't get me wrong, the Wizard, Hermes, and now (it would seem) the Kaiser have all been sensitive devices and requires some kind of protective case (I use the aluminum cases for both Wizard & Hermes) unlike the Apple crude phone where apparently, it can be dropped onto a marble floor from 4 ft without cracking the screen. Why couldn't HTC build a sturdier screen?!?!

Anyways, the Hermes is an awesome device but since I currently don't need GPS, I may just stick with the Hermes a bit longer until some tragedy befalls on it.... but then again.... my wife's Wizard is going on the fritz and I may just give her my Hermes and upgrade to a Kaiser... ha ha.... now that would be a poll to post..."How many users gives there spouses/partners their hand me down phones?"

I hope more Kaiser owners vote in this poll.

Thanks again :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tsadek:
Now I've tracked my instability issues to pocket plus and low memory i really wish I'd stuck with the hermes. Agree with all of the above really.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] compact_bijou:
Good move. The built in GPS is the killer feature for me, one less device to carry.

I gave my Hermes to my girlfriend as she rarely uses GPS and it does everything the Kaiser does (except GPS) and just as quick.

DISCLAIMER:

I'm not or will be responsible for the incorrect use of these tools.

Even if they decide to not work properly.

I've tested on my own and they work fine.

If they ever fail, well, not my fault.

Using them will make YOU responsible of anything they might cause to your phone or you.

Well, after a long time, I've decided to return since I now own 2 more android devices (Xperia E5 and a Galaxy J5) I'm no longer afraid of destroying this phone.

In the end of this thread I will put a link to my github repository where I'm putting the source code of a customized version of the mkbootimg tools, these tools are to help people to unpack and repack the boot.img of our phones which use a PXA1908 SoC that, for some reason, there never was any real development on.

I will try to change that I now possess more skills on programming in C, unfortunatly less time as well. I will try to improve these tools, try to make them more user friendly, and will try to get a real device tree for this model as well a real TWRP port.

HOWEVER IT IS TO NOTE, I HAVE UNIVERSITY SO I CAN'T PROMESS MUCH. DON'T SEE THIS AS A FUTURE GRAND DEVELOPMENT TOPIC OR DON'T EXPECT ANY ROMS TO BE MADE.

Again, be responsible with these tools, they are a low-risk bricking since you are only flashing boot.img or even recovery.img, but, well, no one ever knows.

Credit goes to kumajaya that made the customization to these tools first, I just fixed some warnings and will try to make them more powerful or not.

A link to his repo is in the README file in the root of the repo.

Please, feel free to fork this, to change it to your liking, if you add any features in, let me know so I can update the repo with freshly-made tools!

Last Updated: 13/04/2018
[Galaxy Grand Prime General] fabiossilva21:
To be used... maybe?

Good news, I was able to update the tools so that people won't have to change the hex in the boot.img.

You can now just run the tools and repacked them without any edit.

New ROM

;]

Pixel 2 XL Port V1

Only like 890 ish mb

Fast, light.

Magisk 15.3 pre rooted

Encryption break zip pre installed

Busybox

Zip aligned

Pixel setup wiz

Google camera

Dark themed

Some other extra customizations

Based on alpha centauri ROM by Jonas ! Awesome dev BTW! Thanks for the base man! Link to his ROM to follow.

Smaller DPI, ALL rounded windows

Pristine ROM.

ROM:https://mega.nz/#!0nQV1CLa!jAnUWQqHpoQouULKKK6Fiz49IGYbklV9CdGJQNDQ4uA

Just download, wipe everything but internal and external, flash ROM. I was worried the encryption break wouldn't work right since its flashed before magisk, I had it in the kitchen to flash last, but it has a mind of its own apparently..and flashes fine none the less. After test flashes, 3x, I setup the phone and booted back to recovery and could still Mount data.so we're good. ROM doesn't have a file manager, but I recommend mixplorer or solid explorer on play. And the only thing that doesn't work is applock. Its a samsung feature that didn't work well with the google framework. So u can see it, it just doesn't do ****. Causes settings to reboot. Also, there is no advanced reboot menu. Tried to keep it pure.

Enjoy.

issues

Just couple things I notice in case you would like to know. . .

1) At the initial setup screen. Two options at bottom are

Emergency and Vision

.

If you click on Vision it crashes "Settings have Stopped"

.

-- ALSO --

.

If you let it sit there you will get this

"tuiService has "Stopped."

2) You might want to change the Model Number . . it is showing

SM-A510F

( doesnt matter to me ) but might confuse some.

3) My home screen is "jumpy" it bounces up and down for a while then stops and starts again ??

That is all I found so far, but its late and I will finish checking all tomorrow.

Thanks again for your work guys !! I love it :)

[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Johnrob011045:
Wow! Gotta say this rom runs like a dream. Everything is very snappy and smooth. I hope we can get an Oreo port of this rom in the future but if not, whatever. It's running great and I haven't ran into any issues yet. The camera app snaps way faster than the Samsung stock did and it looks much better too. Impressive. I thought this was just a junk sensor but it turns out their algorithms are working perfectly. Big surprise, I assumed their software was made to work right with only Pixel hardware. SO I gotta say BIG THANK YOU for making my camera AWESOME and everything else has been going much smoother than it ever did before. I was really beginning to think this phone was a lost cause and incapable of leaving a good impression in 2018.
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Scholeggo:

[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Johnrob011045:
Yeah, everything works. Just no screen mirroring. I'm still using this ROM because the phone runs like it's on crack. My only issue with this ROM is I've had my phone stop charging a few times and the battery icon that pops up when it's powered off will sometimes be in the wrong place. I think it's cause I'm using landscape mode with chroot Linux. So a couple bugs and no screen mirroring but the ROM is super fast!
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] Scholeggo:
Will the Pixel 2 XL port be based on Android 8.1?

I have a request to not involve the Touchwiz UI; just use the Pixel 8.0 UI or the stock Android 8.0 UI (8.1 if that's what the Pixel 2 XL ROM will run on). Makes more sense when you call the ROM the Pixel Port
[Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recov] :

casting bug

reflashing the rom fixed the casting issue for me but randomly today another unrelated issue reared its ugly head, more about that in my next reply

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 AM ----------

ok so today was playin Angry Birds Seasons and randomly my phone restarted and for the first time (after having this rom installed for quite a while now at this point and having restarted it numerous times since flashing it, I mean for reals when its cold outside this damn thing will go from 40% battery to 0% in like 2 mins and shutdown) all of a sudden the "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock" error popped up on restart and the phone wouldn't boot. ended up having to reflash stock to get it to do so. But I really REALLY don't like the stock rom.. so how do I keep this from happening again? is there a way to disable FRP lock permanently? cuz I like having a rooted phone and screw Samsung for trying to tell me what I can and can't do on a device that I own and paid for...
