SentinelROM v3.10 is now available!

It adds the following features:

*ROM and Kernel Compiled from CyanogenMod 10.1 source.
*Added support for OTA updates (you'll receive an OTA notification when I release the next version)

NOTE: As this ROM is compiled differently from v3.00, I recommend a factory reset before flashing.
Remember to back up your user apps using Titanium Backup, and flash GAPPS after flashing the ROM.

Enjoy the ROM and remember to hit the thanks button on the OP :)

Thanks for the bug report...

The first issue isn't a bug. Mass storage isn't available in this ROM yet.

The isse when pressing the back button is a bug. Well spotted. I'll add it to the OP. For now if you make your changes and tap on another option in settings, then hit the HOME button, your changes will remain, but you won't get the FC error.

I'll fix this up for the next release. Probably a bug in CM source so I'll resync before I make any other updates.

Cheers.

Thanks Aaron. That's a good start. I'll look at turning this in to a configurable option rather than a band-aid solution :)

I have sometime a problem with wifi. I did a little search and a lot of members have the problem on several device that has android 4.2.1, There is no fix for this yet by Google? The build JOP40G fix this problem?

I just did some more testing in my lunch break and flashed the latest CM10.1 nightly. the same bug exists in CM10.1 official builds. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a fix and merge when they fix the bug.

I did some diagnosis of my own and the error is caused by a null exception error so it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Thanks for the info. If Google haven't been able to fix it in 5 months, I don't like my chances.

I'm also not keen to include any of the supposed "Wi-Fi Fixer" apps available on the market, because they all prevent the device going to deep sleep and will significantly reduce battery life.

I'll keep my eye on the subject and as soon as Google release an official fix, I'll include it in my ROM :)

The new AOSP source is not device specific and adds some power management fixes as well as tweaks to how EXT4 partitions handle new file creation.

I don't anticipate these revisions will have an effect on SentinelROM v3.00 as it's based on CyanogenMod 10.1 source rather than AOSP. But as I always merge my code with the latest CyanogenMod source, if there are any changes, they will automatically be included in future builds.

You know me, I love to help if I am able to. I hope that directs you in the right way enough to turn that in to an real config option instead of a hack fix. :D

BTW so far 3.10 has been pretty darn nice, cannot wait to see future of the best N10 ROM in the world :D

Re: [ROM] [03/02/13] - SentinelROM v3.10 - CM10.1 Source - Fast, Stable, Themed

I had taken a quick look on the previous posts and I had not found this bug being reported already, but if it already has I'm sorry.

What you do is you go into the settings then under system you go to Quick Settings panel. Then you go into Tiles and Layout, then if you change anything or if you don't, the moment you press back, it crashes the settings app.
Now if you press home it does not crash. If you do press back and crash the Settings app, it does save the settings you had made. So it's not a big deal, but of course a bug is a bug.

This bug is reported above, and in the OP. it's a bug with CM10.1 source and is present in the official CM10.1 ROMs too. I'll have it fixed in my ROM as soon as it's fixed in CM10.1 source. For now if you just press HOME to exit rather than back, everything works.

The bug is being caused by a null value exception error.

    • Compiled with Linaro toolchain for enhanced performance.
    • Aroma Installer for additional tweaks and options
    • Zip Aligned
    • Compiled from latest CyanogenMod 10.2 source
    • Improved Web Browsing performance
    • Improved 3D gaming performance

    • Additional theming and UI customisation
    • FAST support via this page and our Facebook Page
    ________________________


    details.png


    This ROM has been built to enhance the CyanogenMod 10.2 experience, with faster gaming and web browsing performance (no choppyness in Chrome too!).

    Countless hours have been spent making tweaks to settings to squeeze the most performance I can find out of this ROM while still providing excellent battery life and without the dangers of overclocking and kernel level tweaking.

    I compile this ROM and Kernel from the latest CyanogenMod source code, add my various tweaks and adjustments, then test for stability, so you get all the benefits of CyanogenMod 10.2, plus my tweaks and extras, all without the instability and inconvenience of flashing CyanogenMod nightlies (which are not designed specifically for the Nexus 10 like my ROM is.

    The kernel source is available from the CyanogenMod's GitHub.

    None that I am aware of. Please report any issues in this thread or on the Facebook page.

    Note: On CM10.1 ROMs, to access the internal SD card on your device via USB on your PC, please go to "Settings" - "About Tablet" and tap on "Build Number" repeatedly to unlock "Developer Options". Now go to "Developer Options" and enable "Android Debugging".

    ________________________

    installation.png


    If installing for the first time:

    To install this ROM you will need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery such as TWRP or ClockWorkMod installed (personally I recommend TWRP, I have had issues with restoring backups using CWM). If you haven't yet unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery, I recommend downloading and installing the Nexus 10 Toolkit.

    1. Copy the downloaded SentinelROM zip to your Internal Storage.
    2. Boot into your custom recovery
    3. Back up your stock ROM
    4. Factory Reset and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
    5. Wipe System Partition
    6. Install the ROM
    7. Install GAPPS
    8. Reboot. First boot can take up to 5 minutes.

    Important: CyanogenMod statics is switched off by default in this ROM. After installation you will be asked if you want to turn it on, please leave it off.

    Note: Use of titanium backup to restore apps and data from another ROM is not recommended, and is the source of 90% of user issues, especially when it comes to battery life. Do so at your own risk.

    You may flash other kernels as you wish via recovery. Remember to also flash the correct libraries for any 3rd party kernels.Instructions will be given by the Kernel author. NOTE: Updating the ROM via OTA will also overwrite any custom Kernels you have installed.

    SentinelROM v5.00 - ROM and Kernel compiled with Linaro from CyanogenMod 10.2 source

    Please don't forget to hit the Thanks button too :)

    GAPPS

    MD5Sum: check the md5 of the files before flashing it

    Other Kernels
    For extreme performance, give KTManta Kernel by ktoonsez a go. It improves gaming performance significantly, but your device will get quite hot.
    I'm going to do some more testing and may include it in later builds.

    NOTE: Unless otherwise stated, the following mods are developed by SentinelROM users and therefore I can only offer limited support for problems caused by using them.

    Tablet UI for SentinelROM v4.70 - Kindly donated by SentinelROM user brGabriel - Flash via Recovery. To restore to stock, reflash SentinelROM and wipe cache.

    I hope you enjoy my ROM. If you do, please consider a donation to the CyanogenMod team. If you really like my build, please consider a donation to me as well. Donations go towards flowers for my wife so she lets me keep developing, and of course, additional devices so I can add to my list of supported devices.

    As always, you flash my ROM at your own risk. By unlocking your bootloader and flashing any custom ROM, you are potentially voiding your warranty. I'm in no way responsible for any damage to your device caused by flashing this ROM or any other tweaks/mods discussed in the following posts.

    There’s a lot of hype in the XDA forums recently around Linaro Toolchain.

    Linaro Toolchain is used when compiling a ROM and supposedly gives large performance increases over ROMs which are compiled in the traditional manner.

    I decided to put it to the test by recompiling my existing SentinelROM v4.40 source code for Nexus 10 using the Linaro Toolchain, then running a series of tests using the standard ROM and kernel, as well as the ROM and kernel compiled with Linaro.

    See the results here in this video, all filmed in one take.
