Here is a link to my 6/26/2014 build from evervolv sources. THIS IS UNOFFICIAL. If preludedrew wishes me to delete it, I will, immediately. This is a 4.4.4 build.

A recent recovery is required; see

I make no guarantees about this build. I am not a developer (yet?); I am only a builder. I have tested it on my own device and it seems to work well. But I do not have an activated phone, so take that with a grain of salt.

Can either recovery be used or do you recommend one over the other? Haven't flashed my d-inc 2 in a while.


P.S.
Thanks for posting this. I know you're not a dev but there are some people who like to flash new roms for the fun of it. ;)

I flashed a previous build with TWRP, CWM, as well as 4EXT. I have done this one (so far) only under TWRP, but any of the most recent recoveries should work.

I used CWM from your post and it worked fine.

Man... All I can say is wow... :highfive:

I can't believe 4.4.4 is running on my incredible. Only been running it for 30 minutes but so far looks great.

What's Working,
camera, ffc, panorama, wifi, gps, bluetooth, torch, screenshots, rotating hardware buttons, google now, chrome, maps.
My phone isn't activated so I can't test mobile data, etc, but it does show verizon service under my signal strength.

What's Not Working.
Recording video, rear or ffc,
Playing videos.
I can't play videos I have recorder previously. Acts like it is going to play them then just says "Can't play this video."
Videos in you tube app act like they are gonna play but go into an endless buffering loop
No video inside of chrome either. I think it is broke on everything.

Gets a little slow at times but overall very nice work. :good:

Here is a link to the KK gapps if anyone else wants to give it a try.

Update

Just wanted to post an update for anyone who is curious. I've tried tweaking a few things to get some more speed out of it.

I switched to ART and apps got really slow so i switched back. I'm thinking it has to do with converting the apps because the dex2oat process was running pretty high.

One thing that did help was changing the SElinux mode from enforced to permissive with this app.

I also installed facebook, which ran well to my surprise, and overclocked to 1420. :)

Other than the video and lag issue it seems to be pretty solid.

Maybe this will get someone's attention and breath some new life into an old but solid device. :fingers-crossed:

Doublepost from prev forum and cannot get gsm to work. Worked on 5/16 build but not this one. Cannot get preferred network type to stick. Does not seem to recognize sim card.

#Update#

I know this build doesn't have Dev support but just i just wanted to share what I've found.

Tried to listen to some music via head phones and it hard rebooted my phone. Plays fine through the phone speaker and through Bluetooth but it dies as soon as I plug in my head phones. Hard reboot every time.

Do you have a logcat of this? I can see if I can track down what is going on.

Here are the log files. The logcat looked pretty empty so I got a last_kmsg as well. It wouldn't let me upload them for some reason so I zipped them together. Recommend opening them in wordpad for nice formatting.

Procedure:
booted the phone
launched a terminal
started the logcat
plugged in the headphones

I wiped all partitions, and installed the zip and resulted in a status 7 error. Using EXT4 recovery. Gonna try downloading again. Can I get an MD5?

MD5 matched. Still same error. Something about permissions denied or something and then status 7 installation aborted.

You have to use one of the newer recoveries from the OP. I haven't tried TWRP but can confirm CWM works fine.

I have played with this a bit on my phone also. It seems that the streams get messed up when the headphone is plugged in. For me, I can plug and unplug the headphones as long as there isn't any music playing, but the instant I attempt to play music with them in, or plug in when music is playing, the phone reboots. I haven't had much time to dig in the source code yet, but when I do, I will let you know what I find.

I thought the dmesg was much more useful for this kind of stuff.
