[ROM] Unofficial CyanogenMod 9.0.0 Testing builds for Epic 4G Touch - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Code:
** These CyanogenMod builds are highly experimental and unsupported.
**
** If one of this builds bricks your phone, kills your cat or causes
** a thermonuclear war, don't point at us. We'll laugh at you.
** You decided to make this modifications to your Phone.
**
** Please refrain from submitting bug reports for any issues
** you may encounter while running one of these builds.
**
** Submitting bug reports on experimental builds is the leading
** cause of male impotence.
Hey all, you may remember me from back on the cdma hero. Well, I decided to pick up dev'ing again, and have been pushing source up to my github for working code for ice cream sandwich on our Epic 4G touches. It's my pleasure to say it's mostly functional, with just a few bugs remaining, of which i'll post at the end of my thread here. If I didn't list some functionality you're looking for in the bugs list, either it already works, or i forgot about it. Chances are high that it already works, though . Once I get nightlies to run, i'll make another thread for that.
Follow me on twitter for updates, and testing builds Please, follow the instructions listed below for flashing, to prevent any damage to your phone
Or, for the lazy, click HERE which is also mirrored for a download, which will also be mirrored HERE. note that my laziness will probably hinder me from updating the OP frequently to keep up with my updates i post on twitter.
Don't forget to flash GAPPS if you're coming from a non-CM-based ROM
Kernel: FC07
Recovery: CWM
What works
- GPS
- Camera
- SMS/MMS
- YouTube
- External SD mounted to /emmc
- Pretty much everything else
Bugs
- apps2sd doesn't work for EXTERNAL SD
- Video recording doesn't decode the files properly to mp4, so the output is unusable
- Music occasionally FCs. Feel free to post some logcats (pastebin'd only) if this happens to you
Installation Instructions
*WARNING* There have been a number of people over the past 6 weeks experiencing HARD BRICKS of their E4GT when flashing ICS from ROGUE 1.2.1 on FB15 AND NEWER KERNELS. Please see THIS THREAD for more information. As such, I am STRONGLY recommending that ALL FLASHING of this ROM be done ONLY from the STOCK CWM EL26 RECOVERY (download) EDIT: As an update to this, we're fairly certain this issue is sporadically occurring whenever a partition is being formatted by the recovery. this led us to believe that the problem lies in the kernel samsung has been putting out in the leaks. Please, for your sake, use, a recovery with a gingerbread kernel when flashing this rom, or doing nandroids, or even doing data wipes.
First install of CM9
BACKUP your existing ROM
Did you backup your existing ROM? No? BACK IT UP, GENIUS
Reboot to DOWNLOAD mode (power+vol-down)
Using ODIN (link) flash to StockCWM EL26. Flashing CM9 from another recovery, such as Rogue, MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED (*note* backup/restore seems okay, it's only the actual zip/kernel flash that risks bricking. See THIS THREAD for more information.)
Reboot to recovery (power+vol-up)
WIPE DATA
Flash CM9
Flash GAPPS
Reboot to system
After rebooting, if you go BACK to recovery, you'll be on Rogue 1.2.2
Upgrading CM9
This build will upgrade from any CyanogenMod rom just fine. Just, be sure you're using the EL26-CWM recovery when flashing this rom. read my Edit up above for further details.
Reboot to DOWNLOAD mode (power+vol-down)
Using ODIN (link) flash to StockCWM EL26. Flashing CM9 from another recovery, such as Rogue, MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED (*note* backup/restore seems okay, it's only the actual zip/kernel flash that risks bricking. See THIS THREAD for more information.)
Reboot to recovery (power+vol-up)
Flash CM9
The newest update changes the way backuptools work for the install script. it reads custom user scripts in /system/add.d. Since the first rom i put out didn't have that, you'll need to reflash google apps after flashing cyanogenmod. after flashing this latest update, subsequent updates won't need you to reflash Google Apps
Wipe cache
Reboot to system
Enjoy!
EDIT: I updated the OP with the link to the rom. This is using some better coding for mms and sms receiving, and the LOS bug was fixed by the epiccm group, and pushed to mainstream cyanogenmod, so we we're benefiting from this. also, added in were sprint visual voicemail and sprint updates. There's surely other stuff i'm missing to add to what's working and what's not . Note that Cyanogenmod doesn't normally use stock kernel, rather it uses cm-kernel. the issue is that we don't have source for the kernel in ics, so we can't merge our board-files, etc into it just yet. But this isn't an issue, as far as functionality. It's just not the full CyanogenMod experience .
EDIT2: I had jerdog change the thread title to unofficial, because we aren't really in CM just yet. It's more because of my discrepancy, with not wanting the device tree to be pulled, because i'm still doing work on it.
EDIT3: Guys, don't be flashing any themes over this rom, reason being because i changed the framework files a bit in my source, and it hasn't been pulled into mainstream cyanogenmod yet.

Wow, I ran your stuff on my hero. So nice to have you here.

A quick note:
As with all CM9 ROMs, we have been seeing some RARE bricks (hard brick, unbootable, no download mode, blue LED of death) when flashing from FB?? and newer Rogue kernels. These are RARE but they DO happen. See this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525495
I would recommend doing ALL of your flashing from EL26 StockCWM (if you can still find it).
You have been warned.

[ROM][11/24/2011] UNOFFICIAL CM7 G2/Vision Kang's Built from Source

This thread is for everyone who compile's Cyanogenmod Kang build's from source and would like to post/share with everyone. If you want your build included in this post just pm me and I will update this post asap.
Warning these are unofficial CM7 build's (with myself cherry-picking comments from CM's Gerrit for testing) which may have unfinished mods and/or broken code that is continually changing, ONLY THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING SHOULD FLASH THEM. Don't file bug reports on the Cyanogenmod issue tracker from any of these build's. Please don't bother cyanogen or #teamdouche as you have been warned these build's are unofficial and come with no support except on this thread. If you have any question's try searching as your question might have been already asked and answered. Note: I, nor is anyone else is/are responsible for any bricks or problems you may encounter.
I no longer have a G2 as I gave it to my mom, but will update this periodically. Sorry for the delay I have been super busy with the move, my new job and fixing this house I am now living in.
All credit goes to cyanogen & #teamdouche, thank them not me as all I do is compile
Items from CM's Gerrit that I cherry-picked:
* Give me time
Last Commit repo synced before building-
* Enable access to Audio Effects Settings
I understand that this build is unofficial and I take no responsibility if you brick your phone- Will be update in about an hour and half as I plan on running it when I get home
Please visit @cmsrc, CM's Gerrit or Nightly Device Changelog for a complete list of changes or commits.
Also those who don't know a Kang is an unofficial nightly that someone builds from CM's github.
I will update this post as often as needed to stay current or change as necessary.
Hey everyone, here are the kangs and cherry picks that i will be providing. I want to thanks plasmadragon007 for allowing me to post here.
Everything in the above post applies to here. We will most likely be making these at a different time of day with possible different commits. I do not own a g2 but i do have a couple of decent guys willing to test each kang before posting. If they are not available, i will let you know that the build has not been tested. I do this because i enjoy it and want to. I hope you enjoy it also.
All credit goes to cyanogen & #teamdouche.
Items from CM's Gerrit that I cherry-picked:

Hey Guys,
I figured i would share this.
All credit goes to cyanogenmod team. and cyanogen for being a killer coder
All Builds + recoveries can be found here. I have included a date + md5sum

More Builds/Gapps can be found here:
gridlock32404 - cm7rc0 built by gridlock will be http://www.crackflashers.com/ cause of dropbox excessive traffic, will build new ones tonight if new commits
I uploaded it just now.
You will need to flash CWRecovery 3.0+. Which can be found at
http://xdafiles.net/rhcp/
This has been all built from source.
You need to put your phone in fastboot.
1) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) reboot into recovery
3) backup your current rom
4) adb push the zip
5) flash the zip
As for gapps I can not post any gapps here. (Hint Paul obrians dump of the nexus S)
Notes: I am not responsible for any bricks or problems you may encounter I am just sharing this. If you follow the step you will have 2.3.1 on your phone.
Please help the devs who put this togther for us. fix some bugs. If you know how.
so far, It seems the video has been fixed up a bit. and the wifi works. So, Far the only thing not working video cam. (which is under works so i hear)
Also. Protected apps do not show since this is 2.3.1 (You can fix this by modding your build.prop or wait for google to add 2.3.1)
Thanks and I hope you enjoy this. Please someone mirror the build. I dont think mediafire will keep it up.
If you want to see protected apps. You need to edit your build.prop in system with the following:
Code:
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3 GRH55 79397 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3/GRH55/79397:user/release-keys
This is built from current src as of 30 mins ago.
So, there is a few video fixes and others.
You can read the updates at: http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged,n,z
I appreciate it man. I just moved and I don't have an internet connection yet. It's hard to repo sync on a 1mbps Android tether.
Is there any difference between this one and the other one?

[wip][rom][aosp] ns2

Change of plans, hopefully with the help of anyone who is willing I'd like to compile an aosp build for the Sprint GS2 from source instead of trying to hack a port together, as suggested in this thread and other places, it just feels like it will be a lot more of a fruitful experience for all involved and have a better end result.
(a big thank you to everyone who so far have been super encouraging and friendly with noob questions, it's much appreciated!, I hope that if you wanted to help with the port you'll help with this build as well!)
This is a WIP. Starting out with Samsung's open source platform and kernel instructions on how to build from aosp and I'll take it from there.
I've setup some repos to get this all started in one place:
Samsung SPH-D710 platform source - https://github.com/thefredelement/sph-d710_platform_source
Samsung SPH-D710 kernel source - https://github.com/thefredelement/sph-d710_kernel_source
Team Hacksburg kernel source - https://github.com/thefredelement/android_kernel_samsung_c1spr
Stock kernel initramfs (thanks buddy323!) - https://github.com/thefredelement/stock-initramfs-eg30-epic-4g-touch
https://github.com/thefredelement/Samsung-Galaxy-S2-Sprint-Epic-4G-Touch-AOSP-Build - will be where the build will live after I push over Samsung's platform make and upload it!
--- old stuff that will make your head spin ---
If anyone wants to continue working on this, feel free.
This is my attempt to get get a pure aosp build of android 2.3.5 for the Sprint Galaxy S2. I've never done anything like this before and it's mostly hacked together pieces of two different ROMs. I guess you can call this a "learning" experience.
THIS ROM JUST BOOTS AND NOTHING ELSE REALLY WORKS, THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND I POSTED IT HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE CAN HELP, THIS IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
THIS HAS ONLY BEEN RUN ON MY PHONE, EVERYTHING IS FINE ON MY PHONE AND I CAN RESTORE A NANDROID BACK TO STOCK AND EVERYTHING STILL WORKS FINE BUT I MAKE NO GUARANTEES FOR YOUR PHONE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING I WOULD STOP READING NOW
This rom is based on AdamG's devnull-test aosp rom for the Euro Galaxy S2. (post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183063)
Credit must be given to AdamG for his rom in the first place, bubby323 for his help on IRC and kpkimmel at ACS for the Gerbal V1 beta ROM (post: http://www.forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php/2734-ROM-Gerbal-v1-beta-ROM) which I used for guidance for the build.prop and updater script.
I am not trying to steal anyone's work or take credit for anything, I really just want a pure AOSP rom for the Sprint GS2 and would love anyone's help as far as guidance, code, a guide I haven't found, anything would be great, thanks.
Known bugs:
- No radios
- No Wifi
- When wifi is on (or trying to turn on) the screen turns on/off as if a process is restarting
- Orientation sensor is out of whack (disable auto rotate so it doesn't drive you crazy)
- Home button & search button do not work
- Something FCs real fast on first boot but android setup starts
- Distortion on the touch screen occasionally
Known positives:
- No real FCs
- I added the Nexus S boot animation
- Calculator, gallery, etc. all work fine
What I've done so far:
Based on buddy323's advice in IRC, I've brought over vendor, firmware, wifi, vold, egl and hw from the Gerbal v1 rom to the devnull rom.
I used the wipe partition section of the Gerbal update script and then the symlinks/permissions from the devnull script (I removed the kernel installation as this rom doesn't come with a kernel). My approach has been to go through as much as I can on devnull and change out anything that's platform specific to the sph-d710.
I'm sure there's a bunch of noob happening in this rom and I'd appreciate it if you can call me out on it and tell me where to look to make it right.
Installation:
Install via clockworkmod, this will wipe /system /data so I'd erase your user data before flashing.
I've been booting this with the stock kernel.
Link: you don't want this...
Reserved for changelog, when hopefully it gets that far
Awesome to see a project like this, good luck in the port!

You are under no obligation to install anything posted on XDA. If it doesn't work, report. If you don't like it, don't use it. Help, don't hinder. If you have nothing to contribute, then sit down, shut up and wait for someone to do it and allow you to participate. It's that simple folks.
Now keep this on topic or infractions and/or mandatory vacations will be handed out.
I would highly recommend you get to grips with the aosp source and learn to build them for the device instead of cobbling a mix of aosp and stock Samsung roms together. You will also need an aosp compatible kernel and stock kernel is not. There is a list of patches to the aosp kernel in the SGS2 section and on team hacksung's github. Good luck.

I recall rumor about samsung sending a GS2 to Cyanogen so that he could "get to work". Guess that never materialized - or they gave him something else to do once they hired him...

Hey all, you may remember me from back on the cdma hero. Well, I decided to pick up dev'ing again, and have been pushing source up to my github for working code for ice cream sandwich on our Epic 4G touches. It's my pleasure to say it's mostly functional, with just a few bugs remaining, of which i'll post at the end of my thread here. If I didn't list some functionality you're looking for in the bugs list, either it already works, or i forgot about it. Chances are high that it already works, though . Once I get nightlies to run, i'll make another thread for that.
Please, follow the instructions listed below for flashing, to prevent any damage to your phone
Follow me on twitter and github for updates, and what's going on right as it happens.

- Video recording doesn't decode the files properly to mp4, so the output is unusable
- Music occasionally FCs. Feel free to post some logcats (pastebin'd only) if this happens to you
Once again, follow the instructions below, for flashing this ROM!!!
Installation Instructions
*WARNING* There have been a number of people over the past 6 weeks experiencing HARD BRICKS of their E4GT when flashing ICS from ROGUE 1.2.1 on FB15 AND NEWER KERNELS. Please see THIS THREAD for more information. As such, I am STRONGLY recommending that ALL FLASHING of this ROM be done ONLY from the STOCK CWM EL26 RECOVERY (download) EDIT: As an update to this, we're fairly certain this issue is sporadically occurring whenever a partition is being formatted by the recovery. this led us to believe that the problem lies in the kernel samsung has been putting out in the leaks. Please, for your sake, use, a recovery with a gingerbread kernel when flashing this rom, or doing nandroids, or even doing data or cache wipes.
First install of CM9
BACKUP your existing ROM
Did you backup your existing ROM? No? BACK IT UP, GENIUS
Reboot to DOWNLOAD mode (power+vol-down)
Using ODIN (link) flash to StockCWM EL26. Flashing CM9 from another recovery, such as Rogue, MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Reboot to recovery (power+vol-up)
WIPE DATA
Flash CM9
Flash GAPPS
Reboot to system
After rebooting, if you go BACK to recovery, you'll be on Rogue 1.2.2
Upgrading CM9
This build will upgrade from any CyanogenMod rom just fine. Just, be sure you're using the EL26-CWM recovery when flashing this rom. read my Edit up above for further details.
Reboot to DOWNLOAD mode (power+vol-down)
Using ODIN (link) flash to StockCWM EL26. Flashing CM9 from another recovery, such as Rogue, MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Reboot to recovery (power+vol-up)
Flash CM9
The newest update changes the way backuptools work for the install script. it reads custom user scripts in /system/add.d. Since the first rom i put out didn't have that, you'll need to reflash google apps after flashing cyanogenmod. after flashing this latest update, subsequent updates won't need you to reflash Google Apps
Wipe cache
Reboot to system
Here's a README in my github, that has thanks and whatever comes with a README
Enjoy!
EDIT: I updated the OP with the link to the rom. This is using some better coding for mms and sms receiving, and the LOS bug was fixed by the epiccm group, and pushed to mainstream cyanogenmod, so we we're benefiting from this. also, added in were sprint visual voicemail and sprint updates. There's surely other stuff i'm missing to add to what's working and what's not . Note that Cyanogenmod doesn't normally use stock kernel, rather it uses cm-kernel. the issue is that we don't have source for the kernel in ics, so we can't merge our board-files, etc into it just yet. But this isn't an issue, as far as functionality. It's just not the full CyanogenMod experience .
EDIT2: I had jerdog change the thread title to unofficial, because we aren't really in CM just yet. It's more because of my discrepancy, with not wanting the device tree to be pulled, because i'm still doing work on it.
EDIT3: Guys, don't be flashing any themes over this rom, reason being because i changed the framework files a bit in my source, and it hasn't been pulled into mainstream cyanogenmod yet.
EDIT4: Hey, i updated the OP with the build from yesterday, that i built. wasn't really planning on giving it out, but it appears that everyone is already using it, so might as well post the link in the OP. Please, don't ask what's changed, because not much has really changed: for this i wasn't planning on posting it... but oh well, it's out . Enjoy
Unacceptable
There seems to be a significant amount of animosity that permeates throughout the Android related forums. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable.
As moderators, we spend more time cleaning up flame & troll posts than working on our own community contributions. Unfounded accusations such as KANG'ing serve to drive away those valued members who try to contribute to XDA ... further lowering the quality of threads and posts on this forum.
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. I would have expected more maturity and professionalism. Instead, I find a thread full of inflammatory posts ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
While the Forum Moderator(s) take time from their busy schedule to effect cleanup and "damage control"; further detracting of this thread once it is re-opened will result in permanent holidays for those involved, rest assured that appeals will be non-negotiable. I would encourage members who have posted in this thread to reacquaint themselves with the forum rules - the best moderation is self-moderation.
Forum rules, please read!
To make sure this is clear from the beginning, and since I had to close the previous thread due to trolling and abuse, there is no kanging go on.
sbrissen and darchstar are and have been collaborating for awhile on this, helping each other out in the true spirit of the community. This thread will remain closed until darchstar is ready to have it opened.

https://twitter.com/#!/darchstar/status/178170605747716096
If you look at the github and commit log you'll see the collaboration going on between the two. darchstar is publishing the builds per an agreement between the two. This is open source and community involvement at it's finest.
Any trolling will not be tolerated.
Just took the plunge and flashed.... No problems with the flash and loving the rom.

Sure, but i don't really want everybody to go on about the same issue over and over again. It really makes the thread really hard to look through, and find actual bug reports, with someone actually following proper protocol, and attaching as many log files as they can. i really do look at every post, btw.

it's so easy to duplicate & i've tried looking through logcats but can't find anything particular. should i still pastebin something for you?

Good job Team, so far so good.. gonna test this out so more..
Thanks so much, been running great, and I could not be happier having darch, sbrissen, steady, and all the other greats on our team working together! Thanks again guys.
I'm not sure if this is a CM9 issue or a xda app issue but I just now noticed it with CM9 (since it's worked in the past with AOKP/Samsung leaks) Taking a screenshot and trying to upload it to any thread the app gives/says that the file is not a valid format. However I can upload it via the web without issues.

meh that's lame. Oh well guess it's time for a bug report to xda for the app then
everything for me is working decently well using it as daily so i love it
only issue that irks me is the very weak signal
Love it! Better than any Sammy ics leak, and prefer it over anything official even!? Everything looks great and is smooth. Unable to install sprint NBA mobile though as unable to install on any storage seems like. Also, mms is funky sometimes. Have to toggle 4g to fix.
Anybody notice super heavy battery drain between 14%-4%?

[PATCH][ICS][CM9] PDroid patch for CM9 - CWM Flashable ZIP

Hey guys,
Alroger has included a patched framework into one of his builds, offering support for PDroid. Based on their work, the modified JAR files seem to do the work nicely. Therefore, you can find the patched and unpatched versions of the files in CWM flashable format attached to this post.
Please report back if it works for you, as it will be valuable feedback to the team porting PDroid to ICS.
For more info on PDroid, go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
For more info on the port of PDroid to ICS, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554960
Notes & Observations
- Only compatible with official CM9 (Android 4.0.3 and 4.0.4).
- Only compatible with Recovery 3.0.x or later (should not be a problem with recent/modern ROMs/builds).
- This build is only compatible with SGT7 device variants and the CM9 builds released for these devices.
However, if you indeed get into trouble, try clearing cache, dalvik cache and flashing your original ROM on top of this package. No data wipe should be required!
Download & Install:
Download OP post attachment of your choice (based on CM9 0421 nightly)
Flash P1-PDroid-CM9-0421-CWM.ON.v2.zip to apply patch
Flash P1-PDroid-CM9-0421-CWM.OFF.v2.zip to remove patch
Save zips onto your Tab
Reboot in Recovery mode
Install zip from SD Card
Reboot tab & wait for Android to upgrade
Install PDroid app from market (market link)
Enjoy
Disclaimer
I will not offer support to anyone in case these ZIPs cause any harm or damage in any way. You are responsible of your own actions including flashing anything to your device!
Thanks and Credits
Thanks, in no particular order to these guys:
svyat for the initial work
pastime1971 for the ICS port
alroger for building the patched framework files compatible with CM9 and giving me his blessing to pack the patched framework files
Let me know of any issues or success stories in the thread.
Peace,
C.
I don't need to flash this patch as I already use alroger's build of CM9 ROM with PDroid (2012-04-24), but I just wanted to say thank you, as this is excellent news for next time when I don't use a ROM that already includes PDroid patches!
http://cafe-ti.blog.br/1524~sgt7-p1000-android-ics-cm9-mtd.html
Is this device specific?
It runs on all SGT7 variants running official CM9 build.
It won't work for other ROMs or other devices than SGT7.
PS: if it runs on something else, it is only by chance!
Peace,
C.
Ok...thanks anyway.
From the OP it read like it was good for any cm9.
Hope nobody flashes it on the wrong device.
Luckily I was smart enough to ask first.
I thought it is common sense since this is SGT7 forum?

Yes, @cheatman's post is exactly for the official cm9 nightly p1 and p1c (Galaxy Tab 7 GSM and CDMA).
And he offers the removal of the patch also, in case you have any problems.
thanks will give it a go
Hi Cheatman,
Will this work on AOKP ICS?
Or will it need a different one? Can you build one?
Thanks!!
First thing: updated OP post to avoid confusion.
Secondly @priyana: It will probably break AOKP builds as the framework is heavily modified compared to CM9. You could try to flash it and report back, but be ready to flash AOKP again on top of it if it bugs out.
If you have issues, you will not need to restock or wipe data. You can just flash AOKP again on top of it and it should return to normal after a reboot.
Peace,
C.
Thanks Cheatman.
Just to feed back here.
I just tried applying it on my aokp build #31 but can't boot into the OS.
Flashed the from again on top of it and I am back to aokp like you said.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
Same for me with AOKP. After installing the ON package it boots up to the part of updating, the next start it doesn't boot up anymore and is stuck on the bootlogo and makes a short vibration in repeated intervalls.
Installed the OFF package, updated on first boot, doesn't work anymore on next boot just like the ON package.
Too bad for me as I'm going to use the train now and could've used the tab.
Thanks anyway and I'm still interested in this and would hope to see a fix.
You can still use the tab by flashing aokp again.
All data intact in my case.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
I know that and did that already because OP wrote that in the first post:
"However, if you indeed get into trouble, try clearing cache, dalvik cache and flashing your original ROM on top of this package."
Works as usual but no pdroid.
OK.
Read you wrongly because you said too bad, you "could have used the tab"
I thought you meant now it is unusable/broken, hence the reminder.

Well, that's it for now - we technically don't maintain the recoveries, so you'll have to talk to the folks that support them directly. This particular one is the stock CM recovery that we added external_sd support to and it is build with the proper SELinux capability to prevent the reboot of doom seen with the CM10.1 based recoveries.
Ohhh yeah, just saw this drop on g+. Downloading now, thanks for the hard work. Will report back once up and running

If you do that, you are on your own. The 10.1 recoveries do not know how to deal with the SELinux capable file system properly. You can run into some major snags that way.
This recovery, although it's very basic, works just fine for flashing zips and taking backups. Plus, it is the only one right now for the Hercules and Skyrocket that correctly works with the new filesystem for 4.3

Oh alright. Guess no twrp then Lol. Thanks for the work! Appreciate it
No sweat man, I"m sure it's only a matter of time before the appropriate changes are made to TWRP and CWMR Touch. Our device is a bit of an oddball in how the storage volumes are setup, so this issue was really unique to us with 4.3
Woohoo! Thanks devs! This phone will remain me for a long time to come so this gives me a smile
Once again, thanks and I will flash and report back :good:

Ahh CWM, the good old days xD
Recovery was fun to use lol
ROM works beautifully on my end, no issues so far. Smooth and fast.
Good work!
Hmm, does DSP Manager work properly for anyone?

so far so good, just missing the options to disable touch keys from lighting up. Going back to 4.2.2 until mainline nightlies show up.Also lack of TWRP is upsetting.
Thanks for the work you've been doing for us!! Can't wait for a dayly driver!
The only bug I've been able to spot so far is that there is still a reboot issue when accessing the external SD card from a gallery app. I can use quickpic just fine, but once I hit the SD card folder, the phone locks up and inevitably reboots.
Other than that, this is a very good alpha build of Android 4.3! Great work TeamChopsticks!

The recovery link isn't working.... anyone have a mirror that isn't d-h.st?
Edit: Finally downloaded...
Edit: anyone know if advanced settings are making a come back any time soon?
Man, I feel so late joining the 4.3 party.
Anyway, just flashing the CWM for CM10.2 now. Its not TWRP but as long as I can still revert back to my nandroid backup made with TWRP in case things go wonky, I'll be fine.
So far, CM10.2 alpha builds for Hercules runs great: feels a bit smoother than 4.2 and faster.
4.3
Thanks so much for the hard work devs this is great!!!
There is a NFC wakelock issue with the latest 10.2 rom, as shown by BetterBatteryStats.
NfcService:mEeWakeLock - 87.7%
I cannot turn off NFC either.
