Need Devs for NST SnowMOD (New mod) - Nook Touch Android Development

Alright, this mod is dedicated to mariog, who helped me to not give up on this idea.
Now, on to the MOD...
This mod is a ROM that gives the NST an experience that is as-close-as-possible to legitimate Android. This mod will be flashed using the CWM for NST. There's one problem, I had a release ready, but when I tested it, well that's another story. The point is, I deleted alpha-1 in a fit of rage over it not working, so, I need more devs to help me build this, because A.) I can't dedicate my every waking hour to this. (I'm in school most of the time) B.) Because my first attempt failed even though I looked it over like a Trillion times. ( Just to clarify: it booted, but everything crashed. Literally everything) Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I've built unofficial ROMs before.
In the future, I hope to branch this mod out to other black and white Readers, But at this point, I'm just worried about the NST.
THE MOD WILL INCLUDE:
-The best homescreen possible for the NST (Was using stock 2.1 Eclair launcher, not sure what is best. Launcher 7 looks good)
-Barnes & Noble stock reading apps
-B&N OOBE. (Modified?)
-Android Market/Gapps
-Dropbox included in install
-No bloatware (ie: phone.apk etc)
-Best NST internet browser (opera mini) installed as default browser)
-"Chef's freezer" app (look it up)
-Probably more.
-I will also include a minimalistic version. (No: dropbox, browser, freezer, Gapps other than Gmail)
All I need is devs willing to devote just a little bit of their time to this project.
Note: ROM based on android 2.1, I will try to do 2.3 once CM7 support is made for the NST.
Note2: All you readers will be lucky if I get any sort of release anytime soon. Don't rush me. If you want to get this fast, then you can help me! I need beta-testers and devs anyways. No unofficial releases will be made to non beta-testers. If you want them, become a beta-tester!

IF YOUR WIFI DOES NOT WORK, FLASH THE UNITY V4 KERNEL ONTOP OF THIS. Here is the LINK !
Anything with a V infront of it (V1, V2, V2873924 etc) is an RC, so V1 is RC1. Anything without a V is not an RC.
THE DESIRE Z HBOOT IS REQUIRED!
Read the tutorial at http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html to migrate to it.
Alternative Way to install Desire Z HBOOT
1. Download the PC10IMG.zip from the link above
2. Place it on the root of your SD
3. Boot into Bootloader
4. Choose the appropriate options
5. Remove the PC10IMG from the root, or else you cant boot into clockwork mod.
BTW, THIS ALSO CHANGES THE RADIO, SO YOU WILL HAVE TO FLASH A DIFFERENT RADIO

The Function XYZ is missing from this ROM.
Well, this is a PORT of a DHD rom, so they have the same features. it will only be added if its in the real HoneySense from DHD, or if its an optimisation, or something small, i may add it though.

It's a complete sense 3 rom, but its not slow. it may be slow first, but give it time to settle in, and it will speed up plus in the next version i will make corrections to make it faster, and create a patch to remove the CRT animations, as they cause an orange led bug to occur.
Very nice and congrats can't wait to try it.
Just when I thought I found a rom I wont have to leave for a while..sigh..dammit..well, fueling my flashaholicness even further

Hi there, thanks for posting up this supposed teaser. A couple things:
A: What exactly about this rom sets it apart from the plethora of other Sense3.0 ports to the DesireZ/G2.
B: You posted 5 completely identical screen shots of the exact same four screens, all of whom were undersized and difficult to see. Considering that this is a step up from the usual zero screen shots I can see why you felt that somehow more=better but let me assure you we would all be better off that if we could actually see one set of four, this would make me happier than punched beets.
C: There is a thread naming scheme in place to prevent confusion, is there any way you can edit your OP to reflect this? (On second look it seems you just forgot the date)
I look forward to seeing what you have to offer, welcome to XDA please try and help make this place not be the insufferable hellhole of double quotes, "+1"s, crap themeing, and poorly implemented code that this place seems to thrive on. Remember not all of us are 15 and have all day to bugtest!

dude are you serious? Make or port a rom and make perfect to your standards....
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA Premium App
Yes I am perfectly serious. We have thread naming standards for a reason. He posted a ton of the same screens, they're undersized and hard to see. He also didn't really say what puts him apart from the rest. I fail to see the issue here.
I'm certainly not denigrating his work or the amount of time he put into its development. I believe all of these are valid questions. Why you gotta hate the fact that I'm not immediately sucking **** over a rom that hasn't even been put up for download yet?
PS: It's people like you that make me want to set fire to the internet. Go soak your head.
Edit: Now, shall we all grow up a bit and let the OP address my questions or shall we continue this pointless derail until one or the both of us gets banned, OR the mods decide to "delete offending material" which may or may not include perfectly legitimate questions.

Galaxy Nexus JellyBean ROM Feature Comparison

As most users on XDA, I've got a rooted device that I want to use a custom ROM on, and there are so many choices it makes choosing a ROM very difficult.
And it is all a matter of preference, depending what included features (included Gapps, default launcher, notification options, etc) or what base it is built from (CM10, AOSP, AOKP, etc) everyone has their own preference.
I created this public spreadsheet, but I thought it may be useful for others, and allow others to possibly to keep track of what features are included out-of-the-box on different custom ROMs. It has really taken off since I originally created it.
http://goo.gl/U8a0E
Hopefully this can help others like me who want to quickly know what features they will or won't have with different custom ROMs.
I considered trying to do a forum post on this, but obviously I would have to keep up with updates myself on Post #1 like most stickied reference posts, that's why I thought a public Google Spreadsheet would be more helpful as anyone can update it.
Overall, a lot of this will probably be moot once a stable CM10 is released, but we never really know how long that can take. And we all know there will still be customizations made to it, one I can think of specifically is Paranoid Android.
Thanks everyone who makes updates to the sheet. I would also like to throw out a HUGE thank you to the custom ROM makers giving us stable ROMs that meet our individual needs.
And, as the Google Doc can be viewed by ANYONE, must get permission on google account to edit.
My personal "Must Haves":
- T9 Dialer (avoid having to install separate dialer app)
- Customizable Notification drop down for Additional Toggles (this has replaced the need for Widgetsoid2 since I can have the Flashlight and Wifi AP here.)
- Reboot and Reboot to Recovery in Power Menu (Mostly Reboot as a minimum as I sometimes forget to turn it back on if I Poweroff)
- Battery Percentage in Status Bar (The logo itself is no where near specific enough for my needs, and I now prefer the circle style)
NOVEMBER 24, 2012 UPDATE: Personally I've switched over to Paranoid Android 2.99.3 (beta 3), it doesn't have my personal must haves yet, but I'm sure it will, currently I'd rather have 4.2 and lose a few features, than be running 4.1.2, it is one of the first roms with customizations to be released on AOSP 4.2, so until it is 3.x it could have some bugs.

I've tried a few ROMs on my Unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus and am still trying to find the ROM that has all the features I want. And is the most stable with those features.

This is nice. I have bought gnex seven days ago and tried every JB ROM so far.
Also I noticed that paranoid, like you said ( the only ROM that I am using as a daily driver ) is not on this list.
You really should try his alpha 1.9.1 with included kernel. Well now all kernels work on this ROM. But I think that gnex is the beast already and doesnt need any Custom kernels.
Hey I like Franco kernel and I purchased his app and I am playing a lot with it, but as long as I need decent battery life I will use stock kernel. On that ROM I had only 2% of battery dropped in amazing 6 night hours. I just couldnt believe my eyes.

Yeah, I was trying to find a good ROM to get me by until CM10 was officially released as "Stable", and I was going to wait until that to try Paranoid Android, especially with all the customization I can do in it.
I may have to give it a try, maybe once I see my spreadsheet fill up with more user input. I'm already seeing a lot of activity on the sheet.

Thanks, I assume you added Soft and Chewy.
I'm downloading the newest CM10 and JellyBro to load onto my Nexus quick, hopefully I will get those two filled in completely, then at least I will know where my baseline is for my own personal comparison.
A few people have messed it up a bit and I'm sure some changes got lost, but if I don't leave it wide open, I know a lot of people won't make changes.
So, after all of that, and the spreadsheet getting updated by users pretty nicely, it looks like there is a functional enough CM10 (from the +Google page) v1.8 that is stable enough for me to start using as a daily driver for at least a few days.
I'll be using Gapps-b as I need Picasa sync to be working.
Damn! That's great work, well done! Keeping this up to date will be the hardest part but if you manage it you will help the Galaxy Nexus community a lot! I'll try to help. Keep up the good work.

I agree, I didn't put the battery life on there, all roms except the Nightlies like to advertise "Good" battery life anyway.

You could leave the public version as is, but add a "revised" version (editable only by you) that weeds out any egregious and obvious inaccuracies.
Oops misread.
I started one of these back in the day for the droid Eris. You should be able to leave it public, you can always see and revert changes.

So, overall, I definitely accomplished what I wanted to do with the Google Doc, everyone has been awesome with their updates to it.
But, for myself, the Doc is basically useless as soon as I found CM10 v1.8 on the +Google page, which is basically a very stable nightly (although it isn't), it is exactly what I wanted....
It's very stable, gives me all the features I have as my "Bare Minimum"
- Toggles in notification screen
- Battery Percentage in Status bar
- Reboot options in shutdown menu
I ended up in the exact same state after trying numerous custom roms on my HTC Desire and Motorola Atrix previously, always just ending up with CyanogenMod7.
And I happened to just fall onto the +Google post with v1.8 while compiling the Google Doc. Was about to download 1.3 then 1.8 was posted and I'm LOVING it.
And as long as I stick to CM10, I shouldn't have to wipe my data, I'm tired of doing all my Titanium Restores (as I don't have the paid version).
Again, thanks everyone for updating the Google Doc, and as I've made it public, anyone should be able to update it and keep it updated for other people out there that want to use custom roms. And if anyone ever needs to revert anything that really breaks it, all you have to do is log in with your google account.
I really hope it helps some people find the ROM they want to use for their specific needs. And it would be nice to see more of these for different devices, especially for devices not officially supported by CyanogenMod. I may have to get one started for my Motorola Atrix 4G.
Anyone notice this on both CM official and jelly bro.

It may be in stock, but is not in AOSP.
Plenty of apps on the market for it, which is how we justify not adding one.

Speaking of that, does anyone know what document viewer the stock Nexus uses, and if there is an Play App, or APK I can install on CM10 that is the same.
I have Documents to Go, but I'm wondering what the Stock nexus one is.
I've added this to the spreadsheet as CM10 not having one, so if we know which app the Stock has I can put that on the spreadsheet.
Thanks.

[ROM][AOSP] RootBox Custom 5-15-2013 [d2tmo] [Updated on 5/25/2013]

Vanilla RootBox 5-15-2013
Disclaimer! I'm not reliable for any problems arising with your device from the use of this ROM.
Please continue at your own risk, and as always, make a NANDROID.
- Removed some bloat in /system/app/. Left 3 launchers for choice, and stability. (Crashing
cLock.apk)
- Removed mpdecision from /system/bin/ for slightly better battery. (Allows overclocking, and
underclocking without being bothered by locked CPU multipliers, etc.)
- Forced GPU to render graphics and UI by modifying a line in /lib/egl, and renaming a file to
.bak (Improvement to battery life)
- All "videos" in media/video have been deleted to save space.
- Alarm_Rooster2.ogg was kept as an alarm, tweeters.ogg was kept as a notification,
FriendlyGhost.ogg was kept as a ringtone. All others have been removed.
- All foriegn tts/langpico files have been removed. Sorry, I only understand English and basic
Spanish, so I'm only supporting English for the ROM.
- Added my own personal customized list of build.prop tweaks tried over different devices, and
ROMs, to push more performance and battery life out of your device.
- Added Supremacy v3 script with permission of it's creator, be sure to stop by and say thanks!
- Added AC!D Audio Mod v7 for AOSP with the help of Team AC!D, permission given from R-ikfoot! Be

No need for screen shots. It's AOSP. Have you tried Bajee's Vanilla Rootbox? Same thing. Only customized

Nice work overall, but still a little bit unstable. Been getting RR every so often. Running the stock kernel. I will flash another kernel and see if it stabilizes. Came from a full wipe.
Edit: Too unstable. Flashed BMS and I am still getting RR. Let me know when you update.

Odd I only get RR on Facebook for some reason. Perhaps I'll try a different nightly soon then. Thanks for the feedback.
Edit : Use Fast For Facebook to by circumvent this if you are using this. Sorry.

I was getting RR on multiple things, but Facebook was one of them. It would RR just standing idle not doing anything. It's good work it just needs fine tuning. :thumbup:

subbed. will try a bit later on.
Sidekick arises lol nice work dude.

Thanks. I'm thinking of seeing if there's a 3.069 ROM for Rootbox since 3.4.y isn't in its prime yet. I couldn't find a release (but there's tons of them and no change log so I'm gonna have to download them all and check em out myself)
Meanwhile I'm running LiquidSmooth v2.1 with the same setup here and its nice and stable. With permission from Mike and his Team, I'll see if I can bring that here as well.

[ROM] [5.1.1] - AOSP - Liscio Fast Forward

Hi, based on former experience on Hammerhead, Mako and Flo I am happy to present 5.1 Liscio Fast Forward. Few other modifications which were carefully chosen. Feel free to post your feature request here but be aware this will always stay as close as possible to stock.
Downloads and feature list in the second post; and for screenshots, have a look at the third post.
I can not take any responsibility damaging your device or alarm clock which will not come off. If you decide to flash my ROM, you are getting responsible yourself. Have a functioning Nandroid in case something goes wrong.

Going to try now. Does this support layers?
Nevermind... Nice to have another rom for this tablet. Thank you ...
"Chance Favors the Prepared"
Nice to see a separate thread for the manta All's well with last months build but I'll flash this anyway.
Very good smooth ROM for my N10. Thanks. I missed the dt2w function from N5 Liscio Fast Forward. Can you implement that?
Hi, sorry did not catch up for a while. No, I do not think I will be able to add as the kernel on Manta does not have as many possibilities (from a code point of view) as on Hammerhead. Mako is the same...

As for layers, no intention to add. I had before but never really used... Sorry

Which kernel does this use?
Hi, this uses the stock kernel. Sorry, not too much code in git for Manta . Still, this runs quite smoothly without enhancement to the kernel.

Question about honeycomb or ice?

Look, if like to start by saying I couldn't find the question section in tapatalk, and this seemed the most appropriate section to post in (move to correct one if necessary)
Anyway, my question:
I was wondering if it's possible to build either android honeycomb or tablet UI ICS (stock of course) for this kindle fire. I know that it seems weird to go back word in android versions, but honeycomb is my favorite and I wouldn't be able to build it as I don't have a Linux PC, and I'm having a surprising amount of trouble getting virtual box to work on my PC. (Yes, I'm using the correct cup architecture and have all required files) any feedback is welcome!
Edit: any way to edit the title? I didn't catch the typo... (Yet another reason to proof read)

This would likely be better suited in the KFHD 8.9" Q&A forum. That being said, there will be significant work involved with porting. Honeycomb on these kindles would be like porting Windows 95 to run on a modern-day laptop. It might work, but it's unlikely. You'd have to spend a lot of time backporting Amazon's proprietary drivers (or even open source libraries, if such are still supported for older Android versions), and those are likely built with 4.0 in mind. Additionally, the underlying Android Honeycomb source code may not have critical components needed for proper operation on more recent devices like these. (It's worth noting that Amazon's stock firmware is based on ICS, so a large part of that work would likely be done already if you're porting that Android base.) Finally, I'd advise against porting older Android versions because they're not maintained or supported anymore by Google, so any compromising bugs or security holes (like the recent Stagefright issues) will not have been backported to those unsupported releases.
If you're still set on porting ICS, I haven't found any stock 4.0 build makefiles for the HD 8.9 on GitHub. You could use an unofficial prebuilt CM10.1 or CM10.2 ROM (look in the 8.9 development forum and use Xposed modules to modify the UI to tablet mode. I know of one Xposed module that backports tablet UI to JB ROMs, and it still works on KitKat/CM11. Those mods would save you a lot of time, as you wouldn't need to compile or backport older releases. If you want an up-to-date CM11 ROM to use the mods on, you'd need to compile with those sources (they're on GH here). If you're still having trouble, I'd be willing to compile CM11 for you.

Thanks for the feedback, my heart is indeed set on back porting honeycomb, I'll try later and see how it works out. I'm gonna have to research the recent stage fright bug (haven't heard of it). I figured I could just build android 3.2 from AOSP, set up the necessary drivers, and flash it. Even if that's not an option, I'll just try to build Stock ICS. I just like the older holo UI, and ICS and especially Honeycomb have it.

If the holo UI is all you're interested in, you can use any recent ROM and this Xposed mod called Holo Themer that forces all apps that it can to fall back to the holo UI interface. Also, if you're running KitKat or below (CM11), you can use TabletKat, another Xposed mod to bring back the legacy tablet UI from Honeycomb/ICS.

Sounds good, I'll check it out. On a side note, do you think it would be possible, after modifying the system UI, and all the system apps (framework.res,etc.,etc.) one could turn the stock Amazon OS into stock AOSP-like ICS? Just wondering, because it seems like every custom rom I find has some big I just can't stand (aside from the other ones) either it's too slow, no he youtube, the lock screen doesn't rotate, etc. while I've never had any problem with stock Amazon OS. (Other then that the may bar placement/UI/keyboard suck, but that's easily fixable).

It could be possible, but considering all the significant modifications Amazon made to the OS, it would most likely be a long, complex process. There may be xposed mods available to try to tweak the stock UI, and you could try to replace all the stock apps in the stock ROM with their AOSP counterparts, but there's always the risk of bootlooping the OS if you make modifications it doesn't agree with. I think you'd be better off using CM11 or a prebuilt custom ROM instead of trying to reverse engineer Amazon's source to reconcile it with AOSP.

I'm gonna try to work on that, there's no way I'm the only one who's thought to want the stock UI---interesting thing I found in the systemUI.apk, I found all the stock AOSP icons in SystemUI.zip/res/drawablehdpi even the tablet UI icons, which really through me off. Also, almost all the Amazon OS icons were in SystemUI.zip/res/drawable-- my idea, do some crazy xml/png editing, and get the stock UI I'm looking for. Your thoughts?

Do have a list of these modules? I've set up xposed framework on mine, but I'm having trouble finding modules meant for kindles, and I don't want to be constantly playing the "trial and wait 10min to restore my compressed TWRP backup" game.

You could do that, but I think it'd be easier to copy/paste icons from an AOSP/CM9 ROM. (CM9 is the corresponding version for AOSP 4.0.3, which is still ICS.)

I haven't tried out the xposed framework on Amazon's stock OS, so I think you'll have to play with trial and error. However, you won't need to mess around with restoring TWRP backups - all you need to do to disable the framework is simply run touch disabled from the TWRP terminal in the /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/ folder. Then reboot, uncheck the problematic mod in the Xposed Installer, delete that disabled file, and reboot to re-enable the framework.
