[ONE Original Android Development] MiRaGEx485:
Finally got this rockin'!!!

Hey all,

I've had a lot of issues with my own insanity getting this ROM working right. To make a short story long, sometimes my head bleeds against the brick wall, other times things are different... "OH YEAH!" So here is what worked best. (I promise* it'll work... For me, you won't know until you try! Pre-apologies if not. Ha ha ha... Good luck my friends ; P )

I flashed this baseband: bacon_firmware_update_2015_10-15_.4.0.1.c7-00013.zip

It reads as: ".4.0.1.c7-00013-M8974AAAAANAZM-1" in my system settings...

To which I believe is the "latest official"...(?) Correct me if I'm wrong, please. Also note this *seemed* to correct a lot of weirdness I was getting with the mentioned WiFi/Bluetooth monster; more on that below. Oh, and good luck with that all in one zip linked above, it's a [MENTION=6363737]Gawd[/MENTION] awful hot mess of awesome. (No offense to OP of that thread, you got my thanks buddy! Appreciate ya.). My eyes are bleeding and I've been having night terrors of version numbers since... Downloaders beware!

Then I flashed: potato_bacon-9-20190212.Baked-v2.1.WEEKLY.zip.

Next up came the Gapps: open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20190301.zip

(Thanks to the recommend from [MENTION=7643471]klaeje[/MENTION]) I then applied DeadlyIndian's V8s kernel.

Which allowed me to use the latest Magisk 18.1 w/ 7.0 apk.

Edit: The only problems I'm having so far, is the camera doesn't seem to want to start on the first launch. Immediately hit back, and open it again, and it's there. Also, torch is sometimes grayed out and doesn't seem to work, but this only happens maybe... 30-40% of the time I reboot. It's stable enough that I don't have to reboot much, and I only discovered this testing my new boot animation (posted in a separate reply below! Check it out!)

The only things I'd like to see considered for this ROM are moving the clock back to the right (Okay, well I'm used to it on the left now, it's whatever.) and Slim recents, but I don't feel that'd be a popular recommendation, for some reason...? Anyway, Keep up the good work Team POTATO!!!

I might have flashed the kernel last? I don't remember now, I did it too many times to remember, so if anyone's going to make a better recommendation on that: Be gentle, my ego's at stake here... (This is the bacon and potatoes of this reply, the rest will probably just be tangent after tangent that'll get me yelled at for not being brief; the goods are above, You're entering the jungle now! You've been warned!! Do feel free to join me in the deep end, though, the water's fine out here... It gets deep quick, though... Did something just touch my foot?! I think... so...)

Which brings me to my last gasp of exuberance for this ROM: I'm currently making the most detailed old school boot animation that I never have even attempted before. I spent literally hours scouring Qualcomm reference documents, old IRQ info from my glory days, POST screenshots, so... much... more... I'm curious to see what some of the ultra-nerds (You know who you are, my people!) think about it when it's done. It's going to be the EnergyStar POST BIOS from my favorite PC days in my youth... Ahhh, the good old days. I think some of you guys might appreciate the level of detail it contains, though it's kind of a hodge-podge of x486's to who knows when... Two of the screens are finished so far, I just have to animate and apply the wav. (I'll put out a no sound version too, for the haters, I can already hear the complaints in my head...) No idea when this'll be done, but I'm hoping "soon". ¯\_:eek:_/¯

Shutting up now, if any of you made it this far you're real survivors and I'll need you in my compound located somewhere under a rather large rock in the U.S. southwest when the sun goes nova in about 20 years Or was it 10... or 2... or 200... I've said too much... :silly:

Your alien friend,

P.S.Currently listening to APC Disillusioned... Kinda ironic, considering the post/content/forum. Thanks Universe!

P.S. Hope this was more helpful than entertaining, or at least a little of one of each or a lot of both...? It was actually about 10 times as long so I'm shortening it over and over trying to post... Perhaps this time the computer overlords will allow me to exist as I am... Perhaps...
