I'm glad to finaly see some dev support.... but... - Samsung Captivate Glide

There seem to be lots of ROM options coming to fruition, but they all seem to be half baked and development is slow. Why not have the Dev's team up and make one awesome ROM? It is getting hard to choose between things like a working GPS or a working camera(for example only).

Well first of all what do you term as slow ? Samsung gave us ICS in 8 months with major bugs, withdrew it and then released it again after 2 months. Whereas the devs here had already resolved those bugs.
Again CM10 is a tough one as this is the only device with CM10. The target was end of the year but look at it we already have CM10.1 as well. So the devs here are faster than the team at Samsung who get paid for it..
As the base is the same drivers and source written for CM10, all the ROMs based on it will have the same bugs.
GPS and camera are no more an issue. I've been using the camera on my CAMP rom and no issues. Also past 2 days I've driven for 600 kms and no issues with GPS and everytime it locks under 30 secs and works very well.
For me the only major bugs left are
1. Keyboard backlight - known solution
2. Sym key - known solution
Rothorick is working on the above two and will surely come up with a fix soon. The term half baked is not something you can use for ROMs being used as daily drivers!!!
Sent from my SGH-I927

Just be glad we get anything at all. We only have one main dev and only a few others helping the process. These roms WILL get finnished but only in due time. Just take some time to relax and be patient. I have faith in dman and all his hard work is greatly appreciated here. Its the holidays let dman have his time to himself.

Errrr..... current CM10.1 has everything but bluetooth and the keyboard backlight. And dman is cracking the whip on bluetooth right now.
Also, the way you word the question betrays a misunderstanding in the process. Most of the ROM developers don't have the knowledge and experience to troubleshoot hardware compatibility problems. We have dman, that's about it. The rest of us, at best, only know enough to gesture furtively in the correct direction or unearth an important path or config file. So, fixes are implemented by dman and rolled out in his sources and ROMs, and his sources are then used by other people to build their ROMs.

You give me way too much credit. I only figured out half of the keyboard backlight problem -- the other half necessarily must come from dman as I don't know where to begin on getting the Android core to poke the sysfs.
As for the keyboard, we have a kludge for the Sym key. I'm working on a proper solution, as well as a fix for the voice search and dotcom keys, but in both cases, because we need changes in core classes, it's more a matter of open-source politics than technical troubleshooting.

Yup, the special hardware keys are a issue in CM on every slider phone. Hope you get a proper solution to this, so we don't have to fool around with framework-res and keyboard files

It literally comes down to submitting patches to CyanogenMod and AOSP and hoping they see the need. We could just make builds with the patch, but we can't call them CyanogenMod or AOSP then.
Could we compile a list of devices that need extra keycodes? It'd definitely bolster our case to say "these 42 phones are directly affected by the issue solved by this patch", plus I can be more thorough.

Can you elaborate on the the code change you are planning to submit. We can still have a patch on top of CM or AOSP, just like we have so many proprietary files from samsung.

We need to change certain core classes like KeyEvent and a few others (there's a list in the comments in KeyEvent.java) as well as a few other places to connect the keycodes to their correct behavior. And it needs to be done in a way that works globally for all phones, not just the Glide. Which is, more than anything, a matter of convincing devs bigger than any of us that we know what we're doing, we didn't break anything, and it's a necessary change.

[DEV][CDMA/GSM] Group Effort to Optimize Existing HoneyComb Ports

Full credit goes to Ssserpentine, SpaceMoose, and OldMacnut for their work on their united efforts to port Honeycomb to our tablets! It seems they are no longer working on it so I decided to create this thread and see what we all could to do together to improve what they have given us!
The point of this thread is to find ways to gather anyone with knowledge on developing, even if its just the "lowly 7-Zippers" like me, to see how we can remove minor bugs and small issues from the ROM. I know Oldmacnut was going to pick it up, but he has a lot on his plate right now and he has been in pain and is more interested in finishing the CM7 Port instead. I respect his decision, but so many people want honeycomb working on our tabs. So I am turning to the dev community here to see if we can group together and fix things in this rom together. If we cant solve the major bugs, lets address all the little things, cuz the little things add up.
Spacemoose made a list of suggestions from users earlier on how to solve minor issues, and little workarounds, but I would like to see if there is a way to roll up those fixes into one full updated ROM flashable through a zip/odin/heimdall file, and see if we can come up with more. You can see this post here, but I have added them to the second post as well in a more organized form.

Lets put our minds together and see what we can do guys! Btw this was inspired by Rodderik's thread [SPRINT][CDMA]Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100) Mega Development Starter Thread (CWM, EF17 TAR), so if youre interested in this, you might like his thread too!
Current Workarounds/Temporary Fixes:
Letters correspond to the bugs listed in the OP.
A)
Ssserpentine:
1) Open up Dev Tools
2) Go to Development Settings
3) StrictMode Visual Indicator - turn it off
4) back out of app and now open it again.
5) If this doesn't get rid of MOST of the red borders, REBOOT and open app again.

I would really love a Honeycomb ROM for the Galaxy Tab. There are many reasons why I want to put Honeycomb onto the original Galaxy Tab.
Just see the difference for yourself: Blank space, single pane, one-category-at-a-time menus in Gingerbread
VS.
Less blank space, concise, dual pane interfaces in Honeycomb.
Gingerbread apps are just designed for smaller smartphone screens, so they look too big and spaced-out on the 7-inch Galaxy Tab for my taste. I would really love to see some tablet-optimized apps on the Galaxy Tab!
-------------------------
And yes, I respect the developers and appreciate them so much for the time they put into making custom roms a reality for us!

Are the bugs the same? Or are there others that I havent mentioned? I will try to make a section for both tabs if theres different bugs in each one.
Why no mention of ssserpentine?
In op or thread tittle?
He worked on the GSM version.
Moose did the major part of the port and the cdma version.
That other person stumbled, or so he claims, on a audio fix. Never saw a release of this apparent audio fix.
Wonder how many donations he got on open thread with no release posted.
Hmm.
Makes ya wonder why that thread is even there.
Dole out the credits properly.
Just know it needed to be said, and go ahead and get mad. Truth hurts.
alot of angry responces coming, maybe, but dare ya to point out a single lie in this post. Even an exaggeration.
Moose did hc for MONTHS and noone offered any valid help, except ssserpentine, why do you think anyone is gonna get off their but now?
Why don't you, punkrock?
Cause I know how utterly hopeless this task is.
Why don't you all just wait for the leak of the next os?
That so much closer than some random Joe, or Joe's on xda getting hc ported at this point .
is the dead horse braised yet?
Still, hope is eternal, I suppose

Easy man, in my frenzy of trying to organize the thread, I forgot to credit Ssserpentine in the OP, youre right he did contribute a lot, no need to be rash, I will update it right now.
EDIT: btw oldmacnut did make an audio fix, im running his rom right now, I downloaded it when he had it posted before he took it down, and Im sure some of the bugs I mentioned are fixable on the rom level rather than through adb. My goal wasnt to debug the rom completely, it was to incorporate all the existing bug fixes and workarounds into one rom, while possibly solving others. Also the GSM devs are aplenty here, while we barely have any CDMA, Im sure we have enough talent to make it better than what it is. It might not be flawless, but Im sure we can squeeze more functionality out of it.
Its weird,
Honeycomb is more or less froyo based, obviously as we had hc long before gb, so at the time when I started getting into this whole dev thing hc/froyo seemed just different to me.
But after working on the abortion called gingerbread, and working onbthe kernel stuff, froyo to me, is starting to look like a much more viable and dev friendly option.
Alot if the work Dan did in hc was from scratch, or from the sdk, etc. The audio fix I did was from both.
The big issue on getting hc up and going into a usuable rom is source, we really really need that source for hc. Otherwise, its going to be a long drawn out road of trial and error building with alot of these issues never really getting fixed.
Truth is,
No device with our hardware exists with hc, so no drivers that we need.
We need Google to release the hc source.
I liked hc on my tab just like y'all, but.......I know its just a novel weekend fun toy till we get better resources.

Yeah I know, the lack of source sucks along with the fact we dont have drivers. I dont think we'll have everything working anytime soon at all, if ever even, but I think some of the minor annoyances like the disappearing quick settings toggle, sdcard mounting issues, and graphical errors can be solved without that kind of stuff. Me personally, Id just like HQ Video Playback and 3D Graphics working a hundred percent along with orientation, but as you said no drivers so idk how easy that'd be. Still, Im sure we could solve some of these minor issues. I keep browsing over the Nook Color Forums trying to find hints to solving some of these things

Nice to see something happening here. I love my Tab but would like some advancements in OS to address specific issues. I am very new to the dev side of the Android OS but would like to get involved.
--Mike
What blows my mind is that they have created an almost perfect HC port for the $150.00 walmart sold viewsonic g-tablet by means of the flashback roms so why is it so hard to get HC working on our tabs? And why can't someone just dump the Rom from the gtab10.1 and use that as a starting point?
On a different note, the alpha 2.5 HC Rom for gsm, the sd cards will not mount no matter what, I've tried The terminal and the mount instructions many times all I am able to do is get the tab to recognize my external sd as the internal sd, and if you try to go to settings applications and clear data for the gallery you get a force close as soon as you tap manage applications

If it were that simple I'm sure someone would have thought of that To be honest I think the problem is that the Tab is an extremely fractured device; it was really the first Android tablet to directly compete with the iPad, so it was spread as wide as possible. That's great for Samsung who got a pretty large base of customer but sucks for devs because the GSM and CDMA are 2 very different devices not to mention the P-1000N. When I got my Tab last month the first thing I noticed in this forum was the fragmentation between the different versions of Tabs. More profoundly this means that the developers are split apart, usually when one dev makes a break through everyone else can take advantage of it (i.e. the amazing Voodoo Sound/Color hacks) but not here. I feel like everyone is by themselves and I truly feel bad for the developers because they must make their own breakthroughs on top of dealing with complaints from Tab users with other versions that they want this awesome thing on their Tab. As if its no big deal to go and buy a $450 device to develop something as a hobby and then release it for free for people on the internet after already buying nearly the exact same device.
Sadly I think the Tab is a perfect storm working against modifying it in any ground breaking ways. Don't get me wrong I love my Tab and will try to help getting Honeycomb running but I almost feel like it would just be easier to wait for Ice Cream Sandwhich. /rant
Guys, there is no reason to develop honeycomb, it is inposible to make fully functional honeycomb rom, wait a month or less for ICS, read this (quote from android police posted today):
Honeycomb is closed source. Nobody can make a tablet without Google's blessing. The reason given is that Honeycomb was rushed out the door, and the code isn't good enough for an open source release. They're right you know, setting the emulator to anything smaller than a tablet will result in about a million force closes. Honeycomb just isn't as supportive of hardware as Gingerbread was. To save developers the headache of supporting a platform that wasn't ready, Android's openness got shelved.
Luckily this is going to change. The big cheese said so himself on the Official Android Developers blog, "This temporary delay does not represent a change in strategy. We remain firmly committed to providing Android as an open source platform across many device types." Source code is coming back. This will make the modding community's life much easier. Cyanogenmod 8 (I got excited just typing that) and Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to get hacked onto just about anything.

Wow now that is the kinda posts i like seeing on here! I will try to update the OP tonight with this info! Thanks so much! Definitely echo your sentiments about the fractured and fragmented development we have going on here, it really sucks =/
Ive found out that replacing the existing Gallery with Gallery3D should fix the FC that keeps popping up.
I think Ive found a working Youtube App (in LQ).
Ive also found a hint towards solving the sdcard mounting issue. Its not the vold.fstab its something either in the framework or ramdisk within the kernel, according to the Nook Color Forums.
This thread is interesting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062626 , actually the entire nook color forum is interesting for finding fixes.
Also changing the dalvik_heapsize to a certain value is supposed to increase app compatibility. Before I update the OP with some of these things, I wanna do a little more testing and see what I can come up with.
Sorry to bother for help,
Sorry to bother you guys for help, but I've been trying to install Oldmacnut's updated of Spacemoose's CDMA Honeycomb (2.5.1) for hours now, with no success.
I used Rodderick's awesome stock rom/kernel and got into clockworkmod (using 4.0.1.5 or 3.0.0.0), installed the zip from there, then rebooted the phone, but I would either 1) be stuck at logo for 10+ minutes 2) see the Sprint startup video loop over and over again, or 3) get stuck on a turned on, but black screen.
How did you guys install Honeycomb on your CDMA tab? Am I doing something wrong? Should I use Spacemoose's 2.5 rom instead of Oldmacnut's?
EDIT: NEVER MIND, IT BOOTED INTO HONEYCOMB. I am in a foreign language, haha, I'm guessing Portuguese?
EDIT EDIT: Google Translate detects the language as Catalan. Haha!

Hehe that happened to me as well
First Impressions and problems encountered
HOLY SHOOT THIS IS QUITE FAST!
Considering there is no graphics acceleration support, Honeycomb runs much faster than I anticipated. SD card support is fantastic, and so is hearing sound! (I love you OMC) The UI is awetastic and the standard web browser is blazing fast. Scrolling in web pages is faster on Honeycomb than on Gingerbread stock.
The jittery touch screen bug I have is still there, unfortunately. Damn bug drives me crazy sometimes. I'm sure somebody has this problem that many of us have but have not found a fix to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970965
Basically, when I hold down my finger to scroll on white or light-color backgrounds, the screen shakes back and forth in a spastic, noticeable way, especially when I hold it in place. This happens on every single rom I've been on, froyo, GB, CM7, and now Honeycomb. Has anyone found a fix for that yet?
Anyways, I think all the known Honeycomb bugs are true to me too. Youtube force closes on me, GPS doesn't work, auto-orientation doesn't work. Strangely enough, Quick Settings doesn't work for me. Anyone encounter that?

[ROM][02/10/2012][UNOFFICIAL][NIGHTLY][CyanogenMod 7.2-RC0]

First of all I want to make some things clear:
This is my own custom build I made with the help of this great tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775505
This has nothing to do with the offical nightly build from Cyanogen and his team.
I won't provide any support for this. If you want to flash this you should know what you do. Don't ask me anything like "How do I flash this?".
This could be even more unstable then the official nightly build since I add commits that are not merged. It's a great feature preview, but I can't guarantee anything. I can't tell you if the features you see here will make it into any official build.
What is it?
Its a custom build of the latest Cyanogen sources spiced up with some not (yet?) merged patches.
I don't know how often I will make new builds, it depends if I find new things I want to try. If there are no new commits that interest me I won't make a new build.
I will only upload builds that work for me. So the basic stuff should work for everyone, if it doesn't try to wipe before flashing. If it still doesn't work use the official nightly/RC/stable/whatever... (Thats the point with "I won't provide any support").

I made something like this already for the Nexus One and many people liked it.
And since we don't get official nightlys since a long time already I thougt I start making my own nightlys again.
02/10/2012: new build, added latest commits from cm + cherry picked commits (again with AROMA Installer to choose WiFi calling)
02/04/2012: same build but with AROMA Installer. You can choose if you want to have WiFi calling or not before flashing the ROM.
02/01/2012: new build, added latest commits from cm + cherry picked commits
Thanks dude, good work.
I compiled my own CM7 Rom, but not sure how to apply those unapproved changes from the review platform, would u give me a hint ?

How is it dead? 2.3 is what our phones can run most efficiently with speed and smoothness, 4.0 is still choppy and major graphical glitches. Not everyone wants an unstable rom which will not be at it's optimum until a while longer.
On the other hand, I will be trying this out and thank you for putting in your time and effort to bring us another rom to choose from
I noticed no wifi calling....
I noticed in your docs that wifi calling is not included, any chance of getting this added back in?

Since ICS ROMs don't have camera fully working I wouldn't consider 2.3 dead. Many people including myself require a fully functional camera.
With that said I actually couldn't get camera and gallery to work on this ROM. I flashed it on top of stable CM 7.1.0 wiping only cache and dalvik.
I'm not going to do a full wipe at this point, neither am I looking for support but thought I would mention it.

The Cyanogenmod team is still going to release CM 7.2. So they're also still "screwing" around with it.

What???
You say that the version which works best on our phone is dead?
You mean 4.0 which brings us graphical glitches, no fully functional camera, bluetooth issues ... is better?
Lets talk about this in half a year again, but for now Gingerbread is the most stable and best performing version for our phones.

Maybe I'll make an additional zip for wifi calling, I won't include it in the rom for sure since I can't use it.
Just a heads up...for some reason removing the wifi calling files breaks my APN connection with AT&T. Makes no sense on the surface. Put back both the apks and the libs and I've got signal again.

The key word you've used is STABLE.
No need to keep dicking around with what already exists. If you want to use it, fine. But there's nothing left worth adding to it, and DEVELOPERS NEEDED ON 4.0!!!

[DEV] B2G=FirefoxOS

This phone will never die
Synthetic.nightmare
I created an organzation on github alongside deadman and Awesome and rebased to the lovely aospX source code (for stability).
Tonight deadman worked along with me to try and get our script all set up to properly repo sync (+some other things) and after a bit more work, I have managed to get it to where we can sync using the proper b2g command ./config.sh as stated correctly in the readme. This is kind of a big deal, because before, I was just working around some of the scripts doing things the traditional android way lol. There's still parts that are needed to be rolled back and stuff and who knows what there might be broken even after we get all that worked out, but I thought that there might be some other devs around here that may be interested in helping bring this over to us and possibly others who want to keep track of this.

This "build process" is just you syncing your repositories. There's still a mountain to climb once you get past this. It seems your manifest is off.

A couple potential reasons for the repo sync error if you are still getting that:
First off.
Virtual or dual boot?
Which version of Ubuntu?
Laptop or Desktop?
Hard wired or wifi?
Potential Problems:
Unstable Wifi/ethernet driver- Recompile the driver
Wifi/router is going down- Keep the router awake?
MOST PROBABLE: Crappy repo file- Just delete the folder/make a new folder if you have space and make a fresh repo file and try to pull it down again.

[ROM][WIP] Carbon ROM 4.3 Unofficial 9.15.13 4.2 BL

As good a place as any to post this.
Pio-masaki.com is being shut down due to a Cease and Desist order sent against the host by Google and homeland security. I have no idea why, however until this is sorted out, and to avoid any possible or further legal issues, the site is down for a period of time that can be a day or forever. This includes any and all ROMs, kernels, gapps packages, for any and all devices, that were hosted on pio-masaki.com.
I apologize in advance for this as I know some ROMs are only available at pio-masaki.com, but it is out of my hands, the host has to consider their own safety, and has my 100% agreement and backing in taking down the site until the matter is resolved.
As this is a very large matter, and one that has us incredibly scared, I'm retreating from android for the time being, until I know what it was that I did that was illegal, and may return once this is cleared up and blows over.
After this is cleared up the hosting for pio-masaki.com may still remain offline as the hoster has some personal issues with me at this point and may or may not continue to host for me, should we resolve our differences it may return.
If by some chance Google or whoever sent the C&D notices this, I urge you to contact me as I was responsible for what was hosted, and would genuinely like to know what the issues are so we can get them resolved immediately.
I will be making similar postings or editings to any other ROM threads that link to pio-masaki.com.
As a favor I built Carbon ROM for a friend, and as it mostly works, he suggested I put it up for all of you guys to use, which I'm doing now :good:
Please refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137013 for a better understanding of the ROM and what it can do and features, otherwise here is some options it has:
-PIE!
-HALO
-Dark Carbon! Huge props to Slim Roms for coming up with this unique and awesome feature.
-Lockscreen theming
-CM skinny battery is back!
-Volume key lock on silent mode option
-Backup tool - if you're flashing a new version of Carbon and already have the required version of gapps installed, it will be backed up and restored during install. This applies to system apps and custom host files as well. Please note that you should only dirty flash from Carbon to Carbon. It's ok if it's another version or a nightly - just not over other roms. Super handy for you crack flashers. Make sure you've got the most recent Gapps though, and if you're flashing from a factory reset, you'll still need to install it after install of course.
-Long pressing the "clear recents" button clears the cache
-AOKP's awesome new navbar settings
-NFC polling mode for when you want to keep your screen off and scan tags
-MMS and call "breathe" feature. Makes the notification icon fade in and out.
-Mute dings when changing volume
-Disable/enable CRT effect on screen on/off.
-3rd party keyboard bug fixed
-deodexed again
-stability and speed enhancements

diesburg - for testing and suggesting releasing so you guys enjoy it also
Drgravy - 4.2 builds based on his device/vendor tree and kernel binary, and whoever else is included in the making of those.​
Notes, info, warnings
First and foremost, I do NOT own this device, I don't even own an Asus device, and not counting the N7, never have. I am building this blind and rely only on feedback from testers and users. As such, please remember this as you decide to yell about broken stuff.
This isn't a primary development device for me, I'm always willing to offer support on anything I release, but please don't expect daily builds. Weekly, perhaps, but it's mostly as I have the spare time to.
4.2 Bootloader only, I can not be held responsible if you flash this on any other bootloader and whatever happens, happening.
Information concerning updating and installing the correct bootloader and recovery can be found at the following:​[GUIDE]Upgrade TF300t to Jellybean 4.1 or 4.2, root, recovery & remove bloatware by krabappel2548 - please remember this is for the 4.2 Bootloader ONLY, please follow instructions for updating to 4.2 bootloader and recovery!
[GUIDE] How to install Universal Naked Drivers by tobdaryl - for setting up your PC to get going so you can root/flash/recovery/ROM your device.
[VIDEO Overviews and How To's] ASUS Transformer Pad 300 (TF300T) by AllAboutAndroids - for those who need or prefer video style instructions, swing by here and watch what they have to offer.
I'd be happy to add any additional information as it's needed, as I don't own the device I'm not real familiar with it and whats available information and utility wise. These looked like very informative threads to help users who may need a little guidance to getting ready to use Carbon on their device.
BUGS
BT does not work Rebooting will have BT working.
Some keys on the keyboard do not work
Whatever else?
​
Where can I get this?
You can visit pio-masaki.com, it's under the TF300T header, builds are always dated, and if multiple builds of the same date are made, they will include sequential build numbers, such as B2, B3, etc.
For those who don't want to go find it, here you go:
http://www.pio-masaki.com/index.php?dir=TF300T/Carbon/
Hosting for the site is made possible by diesburg for the best user experience and speed.
FAQ
Q. BT doesn't work!?
A. Reboot, BT should fire up as normal after the first reboot.
Q. HALO isn't appearing after I enabled it in settings, what gives?
A. Go into any UI besides Tablet UI (phablet, whatever you want to call its default UI mode) then reboot, enable HALO in settings, then pull down the statusbar and tap the circle icon, HALO will then appear. You can then go back to Tablet UI if you wish.
Q. I want to throw money at you / throw my daughter at you / bear your children! How can I do this?
A. Money can be freely donated (freely donated meaning in no way required or expected, however loved and appreciated as it's my only income and diapers are expensive) by clicking the donate to me link under my name to the left. Also please consider donating to diesburg for the hosting he has paid for. For throwing daughters around, maybe seek therapy, she may not like it. For children bearing, my wife wouldn't care for it, so get that out of your head. I also accept devices (old/broken/new/wet/bricked/whatever).

Sent from my Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 4 Beta
As he posted above, when I tested, BT won't turn on. Some shortcut keys on the dock don't work. Both battery meters and the dock battery seem to be working. FYI, if you switch the UI mode to tablet mode or something, it requires a reboot for it to take. I think there may be a couple small issues with Halo. Enable halo and download any file from any site using the browser and you should see what I saw.(Hard to explain, but the download progress in the status bar never goes away, jacks your whole status bar)
And keep in mind what pio_masaki said, he doesn't have this device. So if you need help with something in the rom, how to or something, he may not be able to help, I will help as much as I can since i actually have the device. Please don't bomb him with ETA's . His main priorites for development of ROM's are for devices he owns and AFAIK, that will not change, he will release new builds when he does and until then, wait patiently.

Just want to throw a reminder out... this is for 4.2 bootloader.... if you're on 4.1 you will have to upgrade.... if you have any doubt about what you are doing with the upgrade process and flashing the new recovery, please, for the sake of your own tablet, read, read, read, until you are sure about what you are doing. If you need help with upgrading the bootloader and flashing new recovery, let me know and we will post links to threads that have directions.

Man! I just flashed Jellybam v9.2 and nooww it gets released I tried building this before, but it didn't work! -_- what did you have to do to get this to build correctly. I added the device tree and vendor tree, updated the vendorsetup.sh and added a carbon.mk to the device tree, but it didn't build correctly.

Likely the carbon.mk wasn't correct then. I build it for a few devices so I'm used to the way carbon builds so it didn't take much ton get it going here, drgravy's trees were 99% set already.
I'll put the trees I used up, I don't usually put them up until it works. Sometime tonight for whoever wants to tinker with the remaining issues.

Its on their github, carbondev. I'm sure its broken because the asusdec and something else didn't get along with the framework yet, unlike cm there's no real dock support in Carbon. Now that WiFi and I suppose BT are working it looks like only the dock stuff is left.

[ROM] MIUI Port

This ROM is in no way suitable for daily use and is only shared so that other fellow developers can take a look and maybe provide fixes to one or multiple things on the "not working" list.
Take it as a very early proof of concept.
ROM DOWNLOAD: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554238
What I did to get this far...
1. I took the MI3W miui-germany ROM
2. I unpacked the MI3W's ROM
3. I unpacked the boot.img of the MI3W ROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
4. I patched the fstab.qcom and init*.rc files to match the Find 7a
5. I unpacked the latest OmniROM for Find7a
6. I unpacked the boot.img of OmniROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
7. I copied zImage and dt.img from OmniROM's extracted boot.img into MI3W's extracted boot.img
8. I repacked the MI3W boot.img
9. I bundled the MI3W system partition with the modified MI3W boot.img and uploaded it onto the internet for someone else to iron out the remaining bugs
What seems to work...
*) Basic Operation (MIUI apps, status bar, well what you would expect really)
*) Bluetooth

What doesn't work... yet...
*) WiFi (there seems to be some issues with wcnss / pronto / prima, this one is bad...)
*) Random Reboots / Blackscreen Glitches (from what kmsg tells me it seems to be related to wcnss, aka. WiFi drivers causing a critical error in kernel every once in a while, fix WiFi and this error will fix itself)

Good things always have the obstacles.
You've done your part. And let other(s) help you.
I don't have knowledge about cooking a ROM.
But I think someone can help. @Entropy512, can you look at this one?
If you want mae some cool port, i thikn sense rom is good candidate...
Great work
hey there mrcoldbird,
great work so far...keep it up..will definately help support you on this when it is up and running..i am not a dev but if you need someone to just bug report i am there for you,will keep my eyes n ears peeled on the thread and as soon as it's near ready i will flash and help you anyway i can...thank you for all your hard work so far
Right now we need developers involved in this. We know the countless obvious bugs.
Just have to fix them.
Awesome work. Thanks bird. Any chance you want to try lewa os while you're at it. I personally think it is better. I imagine just how busy you are but just wanted to throw it out there
Porting really should only be done when there is no source available for said ROM.
For unicorn a source rebuild might be better.

no news about this rom
I was actually searching for people to help me with this but no one bit the bait yet.
I am continually working on MIUI, bit by bit... but due to reallife interference it goes... slowly.

No. That is what I'm asking for; a build for lewa for the find 7.

Lewa OS is extremely similar to MIUI and that is why I even bothered to mention it. I know the developer is having some trouble with MIUI so I thought it would be useful and helpful to mention Lewa as it might be a project that will help the development of either or rom.
Please don't take a blunt tone with me (if that's what it was) as it only makes you look arrogant. Taking in to account our post and thanks scores it is quite clear who has contributed in a more positive way towards XDA. On that note; you might also want to thank MrColdbird in the OP for his contribution, which you have not done as of yet but you seem to be poking your nose in to the thread
That is all
Edit* I apologise MrColdbird if my suggestion was unwarranted.

I am setting up a build environment and will be looking in to it; starting with wifi. I think I might check out lewa as well.
good luck
I've pm one of the Miui dev from note 1 community, and hope that he willing to lend his hand for you @MrColdbird.
Mr @Gerrett, can you help him? If you got some free time. I know you so busy. But at least, just a little guide for him.

Actually I've got 99% of the issues resolved already by using a different port-rom in conjunction with a few OmniROM injects.
At the moment only the proximity sensor (screen off on holding the phone to your ear) and nfc are broken, lte works, but needs to be reselected every time the phone reboots via the service menu (dialer code).
Sadly, I'm not allowed to share that (quite nicely working) ROM just yet as I switched port-bases to a unreleased chinese one in favor of the MI3W port-base.
Until that chinese author releases his first public port base-rom I'm kinda bound by the promise I gave not to unveil things early.
Just hang in there, it shouldn't be long until you guys have MIUI on Find7a... all I can tell you is that it works nicely and without any critical flaws I can see except those mentioned above (which we will get fixed too eventually).
