Hi guys, I'm new on this board and I just wanted a ask a few question about this rom. Currently I'm using the Xylon 2.3.3 and I'm loving it so far, running beautifully smooth. I just got a question about the gapps, I've installed the 2013-2-15 gapps with all the photosphere stuff, however there is a newer version gapp which is 20130301, should I update to that?
Also is the kernel that it came with any good? or should I change it to AK purity like a lot of user have said to make it run a lot better.
It's safe to update, just flash over the current gapps.
As far as the kernel goes, most users report great things from the AK kernel so it's worth a shot.
For future reference, please use the corresponding Pre-existing ROM thread to ask such questions. There is no need to initialize a completely new thread.

thanks I will in the future. btw I was just checking the kernel version. It seems like the rom has already built in with the ak kernel purity.030. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If that's what your about tab says then yeah.

Long time lurker, first time poster :3. Anyways, I have a few questions regarding the flashing of ROMs and kernels. I have been looking around for a nice ROM(s) or a kernel(s) to flash the t989. Currently I am running on rooted stock and want to mix it up a bit. I came across the Darkside X v1 Final kernel located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466283&page=44 .
Now the question is can I flash this kernel but retain the stock ROM?
- any advantages vs flashing kernel and a new ROM?
- disadvantages?
Is there anything that I should be concerned about, or pay special attention to before proceeding with this?
Thanks!

(1) Yes you can, just wipe cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing kernel
(2) Depends on what the kernel has to offer. I'm not super well informed on tdjs kernel but for one you get BLN support which is great. You also get performance and battery enhancements plus many other goodies.
(3) Not really, any kernel on these forums is better than stock so you're looking at nothing but advantages.
(4) As long as you follow the proper steps to installing a kernel you should be fine. Common sense is your friend. Once you flash a specific kernel you might want to look at under clocking and under vaulting to extend your battery life with minimal performance decrease.
BONUS: TDJ's Darkside ROM and Eugenes Streamline Kernel are the best for me. Great stability, battery and performance. Refer to my signature for links.
Best of luck
The best advice I can give is Back up your stock rom with rom manager and back your apps with titanium, after that you can flash flash any rom and take it on a test drive to see how it feels. If you see it's buggy you can go back to the stock you had to begin with like you never did a thing.
Personalty I tried most of the ICS roms an found bugs I just couldn't deal with in one way or another. I did find this ICS rom today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623430
This has the leaked tmo kernel and radio making it almost the complete update we so deserve lol. anyway I put it on today and sofar all I could say is it is sweet no bugs this far and love the ICS......
Last advice is before flash do the darkside super wipe this does a better job then just wipe cache and dalvik cache and you dont lose the data you have backed up.
Oh also follow the directions from any rom to the tee to lessen the chance for problems
[Q] Questions regarding kernels and romArrow
Thanks for the input guys. Right now, I would like to experiment with a new kernel before going full-blown with a ROM...I will likely do that later down the road.
Now, while I was reading up on the various kernels and their offerings, another question popped into my head. Will flashing the phone with a new kernel purge pre-existing applications and settings? I will be backing up regardless, but I just thought I'd ask.

Hi everyone,
I just bought an i927, and I'm really looking forward to installing some custom ROMs. Above all, I'd love to see a MIUI rom for this device. MIUI is hands down my favorite Android flavor. What do you think about these instructions for creating a "MIUI PatchROM"?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483332It looks to me like it should be possible to MIUI-ify an existing stable ROM for the i927 with this method. What do you think?
Thanks, cheers.
interesting if you will to do this I would recommend you use the "[07.06.12]Osimood v2.06.07" ROM as that one is based off of 2.35 and has all bloat removed. Will make for a good starting point for you. you can find it at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462298 good luck and I hope you get it working MIUI is a nice looking ROM

That would be interesting, but it's dated february and based on GB.
I think we should consider basing it on ICS: CM9 is coming, it should be easier (assuming CM9 works well).
Hmm, I was also wondering if those instructions would work for ICS too. I know that MIUI is currently running with the ICS base on other devices.
As for me, I doubt I have the skills to pull this off.
Is this still stands? It would be really cool to have MIUI v4 on the glide!
Someone recently mentioned wanting to give it a try in the CM10 topic, so it seems it's on!

Unfortunately I think I'm too dumb to follow those sketchy instructions that I linked to, which assume a huge amount of knowledge of the Android base system and its frameworks. But, for those who have already created ROMs for the i927 or even other devices, I suspect it would be relatively easy.
I though I'd look into trying this! I'll need some help from some willing dev' s and Linux gurus!
So far I have followed the instructions from get hub, synced the patchrom. Following the command to adb pull "stockrom.zip" from my glide is getting errors and won't make the zip.
I'm currently running the new UCLJ3 ics update that is rooted, deodexed, and zipaligned, with litekernel v1.1. I'll have to redo the adb pull to get the error, can't remember what it was. It was at the end when it was about to make the zip.
If anyone is willing to help, I'll post the exact error later tonight after work!

Im looking to get everyones input on a new 4.2 toro rom. I see there are a few out there but unlike 4.1.1 I havent heard much about which is the best AOSP rom. Does anyone have any input. Most of the ones I have seen so far dont have Gapps baked in or have other serious flaws that havent been fixed. Is there anything out there someone would recommend? thanks guys.

I'm using the Jelly Belly v10.2 and loving it. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28677-ro...-jelly-bean-42-aosp-its-all-about-the-butter/ You'll have to flash gapps and what not. I always do a clean wipe install to avoid problems. I think some having issues due to dirty flashing.
Before you jump to 4.2, make sure your recovery and backup tools are at the latest versions to avoid the 0/0/0/0 stuff and unable to find your backups.
Most of them work & have no less bugs than any 4.1.2 roms. If you're looking for some that are 99% functional try one of the following

Jelly Belly - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28677-ro...-jelly-bean-42-aosp-its-all-about-the-butter/
Also if you're going to try a 4.2 ROM make sure you are using a recovery that supports the new multi-user file system.

The CM10 builds from pio_masaki are running great. I recommend you to use it together with the gm_2.0 Kernel.

Thanks for the information!!
I read a bit this tread before i start this post here.
Okay so i will try to install this:
Build 3 Linaro Tablet UI Modded FINAL
+
gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
right?
But what you mean with gm_2.0 kernel?
Is this included in the rom or i must flash this separately after install the rom+gapps?
Where can i download?
Sorry for my odd questions but i will do all right...
Hi frischeis and welcome!
Keep in mind the CM10 builds are not "officially" supported so there is the odd quirk here and there, overall all of the CM10 roms here are running pretty good. In terms of Pio's roms, he suggests using the kernel that is already packaged in his roms. The gm_2.0 kernel is a kernel that was developed with CM10 in mind: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818924 and some say don't work well with his ROMS which is ok, because the prepackaged kernels in those ROMs are rock solid.
Also note that the CM10 roms are not ICS, they are Jellybean roms. There are still a few ICS roms out there if that is what you are interested in: These are listed from newest to oldest:

He pretty much nailed it, if you want a stock ish ICS I'd suggest his keebers work, there's also very outdated but functional CM9 builds around if that's to your liking.
It isn't so much I don't recommend the GM kernel with my roms, it's that I know it has issues that didn't get sorted out and reflects as users reporting Rom issues that aren't Rom issues, and to report issues with the included kernel first. If your setup likes the GM kernel, by all means enjoy it, it's been a great addition to the development on this device.
It also wasn't meant for JB, it was a purely ICS kernel, however our ICS kernels worked on 4.1 with no modding required, so it worked with JB with no changes. Got lucky and Acer had stuff going that ICS didn't need but JB does. It should also work in 4.2 with minimal fuss.

First: Thank you pio_masaki, hardslog and dtrail1!!
Sorry i made a false statement__i want of course JB 4.1.x not ICS.
Now i have ICS 4.0.3 ota and i want to make a step forward.
You guys will help me to make the decision.
So i will try KEBBERSROM_CMFLEX_V1.2 - Based on 4.1.2/CM10 (03-29-2013) foundet on hardslog post end.

For me the gm kernel works very well with CM10. Nothing to report until now - but I'm running for 2 days now.... Let's see.

I'd recommend flashing different ROMs to see what you like. I like baked, and cm10 but I like the dark theme and on baked you can switch from tab UK and phab. Which is nice. Should help my tab last a while longer....lol the gm kernels have worked for me for quite a while. He had an over clock to. 1.7 MHz too.... no wonder his tab died...lol I think I still have a copy on my SD card! They run best on the older boards. So the community says. But my new one likes it. Over clock to 1.2 and lionheart and boom. I did like green ICS. And cm9 was a consistent winner. Cm10 has come a long way...

Everybody talk about the gm_2.0 Kernel.
So i have flashed KEBBERSROM_CMFLEX_V1.2 - Based on 4.1.2/CM10.
So is this kernel included or i must flash separately?
One issue two times i have with this rom: i got this notification: "Trebuchet is closed" and i dont come on the homescreen.
Only over the status bar-settings-apps i reset trebuchet and it works normaly.
I dont no was happend...

That launcher is buggy. Install and use Nova or Apex launcher and you won't have to worry about the force close.
Godmachine kernel is not in this ROM, it is packing ezTerrys version, which is the source for GodMachines kernel.
So technically it is almost the same but older and not tweaked as much. Solid kernel on this ROM.

Thanks!
I will try out...
Also don't disable Google search bar in trebuchet or it'll constantly crash. Another launcher would be better but to stop that particular issue, leave Google search bar enabled.

So i change the launcher.
Now i have nova launcher_works good.
In the moment no buggy situations.
:good:
Keep in mind though that this ROM isn't perfect. There are a few albeit very minor quirks. I have the issues in the OP of thread.
So what is your opinion about a Rom with JB 4.1.x
Witch one is your favorit?
Or better witch one has no bugs?

There is no bugless 4.1 as there wasn't one made for us, it's all done by developers on their own time. It more like, which bugs can you live with, most any of the 4.1 are daily drivable.
Tapatalked from my HTC DNA
So which rom has the fewest bugs?
I now is a difficult question.
And - or a better question:
In which rom is the further development or is the tablet too old to develop it further?
Which rom is pushing forward?
I read in some threads development is terminated!??
--------------------------------------------------------------------
At the moment I must say I am very satisfied with the KEBBERSROM_CMFLEX_V1.2!
So thank you again for to work behind the stage!!!
Some stopped development, yes. I'm going to start 4.2.2 builds soon...
"soon" doesn't mean that these builds will be available soon. I have to start from scratch..

Who made the kernel?
After updating to the latest Mahdi rom and backing up what I had, I flashed the experimental kernel and wiped cache/dalvik.
It wouldn't boot, so I had to restore what I had.
No idea what it was supposed to do.

Yeah, if it said it was for the nexus, it wasn't going to work. Kernels should be device specific, and I am very skeptical of those that have been supposedly ported over, rather than compiled from the device's kernel source and then updated with new options.
Experimental in regards to kernel devevelopment means there are probably issues beyond the norm.

The filename is Mahdi-Hammerhead-exp-4.4.2-v1.7-23-03-2014.zip, but I thought that just meant it was somehow derived from the Nexus 5. Don't know why it would be posted in the Mahdi rom OP if it didn't have a chance of working.
To make myself clear.I said that nexus 5 thing, because the file of the kernel says hammerhead..But everything is fine..I use the rom as it is....I want to thank the dev for this amazing rom..A big thank you to all the devs..All of them have put a lot of work to their projects..I just made a question about this kernel.nothing else..Thanks for the reply..
