Yes it's here too. Btw the phone is a lot laggy now
To all that flashed v8 alpha and v8 with stockbase.zip :
I really apologize if you can't flash this zip.
I don't think the kernel is related to errors you can have while flashing the zip files.
I'm using doomkernel medium oc and don't have any error while flashing.
Before uploading the zip, so even before that they got test on other devices than mine, I flashed them several times with each time a clean phone ( factory reset every time)
If there are no errors I upload them.
However I think something can be wrong in what I do.
As I'm a real novice in rom cooking, all the flashing zip I uploaded where handly made.
There's a useful tool I just begin to use that can check errors and even sign the zip.
As I didn't use this tool, that may explain these errors.
For the next release, I have no choice to use the tool or it'll take weeks, months maybe years if I do it manually.
So normally flashing errors must dissapear in next release that won't be a test version.
@bsartist
go to recovery
format all partitions except sdcard
install v7 main
@ Champ, Tof, wo88les, laneyofdeath:
Guys, I think the problem I was having was what Tof was referring to (although I'm not 100% certain) about the zips not working.
I guess that could have been the reason I wasn't able to flash any of the v8 files. I even tried the v7 main zip, but I got the same error (the error was something about not being able to find a directory or file on the system partition).
Earlier today, Champ suggested this:
I tried that too, but it didn't work this time either. Then on a hunch, in addition to formatting all partitions, I noticed that out of the system, cache and data partitions, not all were mounted. So I mounted them all, and tried v7 zip again...
And I was able to flash it! After that, the phone booted up, I completed the initial setup, and the rebooted and flashed v8final.zip, WITHOUT flashing stockbase.zip... IT WORKED! And the phone boots up. So far, ROM is fast, performance is smooth as silk, no random reboots, FC's, WLODs, nothing...
(Been running it for a bit less than a couple of hours since then)
Seems like its sorted, in my case... Thanks to all your help and suggestions! Does it matter which of your posts I hit thanks on? (Noob, I know...)
EDIT: Is there any functional reason for flashing stockbase.zip? Will I be missing something since I didn't? Thanks again...
There's still a problem: the zip notificxation bar with brightness control is not compatible with the screenshot band reboot zip linked before. It makes the power button not working
Reflash the zip you download (v8screenshotstockbatt)
Different framework and jar files ... that's why it's not compatible
Yes allready done, but the modified status bar is better than stock one. Is there no possibility to make it working?
we actually do not know which lines specifically TEAM and th_jap have edited in various jar files....(the rom from where that status bar is taken)

Hi all !
I need someone you know how to use searh option (obviously nearly everyone here )
Seriously, I need that someone provide me a list of all kernel for stock based rom (for our device of course) that needs wifi specific modules.
I don't have time to do it cause I actually working to make a wonderful v8 final release with surprising suff won't tell more about it for now
Thanks a lot
