If you like the settings Treb has, you might want to keep trying many different launchers. First uninstall all except Treb, then install an new launcher and repeat till you get all that you want. I personally ran LOVE Nova Launcher. It does everything I want and more.

At any case, like Sentinel had said, you only can see the settings to the default launcher you have set the ROM to use. It would be way too hard to code a way to combine options/settings/features of many launchers in to one.

For now I have Apex launcher and I love this one. It makes a big difference when you're used to HTC Sense.

The same time i love the widgets of HTC sense 4 on my htc sensation. I have not yet to find widgets of sense 4 particularly the clock widget with good dimensions for the tablet.

Do you have any suggestions? :)

I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but I use the clock widget that comes with the ROM. All you need to do is resize it to be a tad wider and higher than normal so you can fit all the stuff you want like weather, calendar, and whatnot. If I was not so lazy I would upload a picture as an example/

If you like HTC Sense widgets, "Fancy Widgets" seems to be the closest thing I can find.

I use "Zooper Widget Pro" and "Eye in the Sky" personally.

This ROM is based on CyanogenMod 10.1 source, I don't know when they will merge 4.2.2.

I'll do a 4.2.2 version of SentinelROM when CyanogenMod merge 4.2.2 into their source.

Yes.

This is how it works:

1. I sync the latest CyanogenMod 10.1 source code to my development machine.
2. I add my various modifications and tweaks to the source code.
3. I compile the ROM.

Here's the latest news from the CyanogenMod team. Posted a few hours ago....

Android 4.2.2 - mr1.1-release

This update is deceptively large in the change department, but still manageable. We are working on the same principle as with the update from 4.1 to 4.2, and are working in 'mr1.1-staging' in our github.

There are quite a few conflicts, which are to be expected as we are more than just a bare AOSP OS, but these will have to be sorted before we start issuing releases based on the 4.2.2 code base.

Key items:

# Lots of translation conflicts.
# There don't appear to be new device repos nor any communication on the usual mailing lists regarding this. Even updated kernel source appears to be missing.
# Some major changes to hardware/qcom/display, which will affect most devices using that. Degree of the impact varies, but this seems to revolve around the new 4-layer composition.

Please don't bug your various maintainers asking 'when?'. These things take time to do properly and rarely apply cleanly. Good work takes effort, and effort takes time.

As I said, I will release when the code becomes available from CyanogenMod team.

I haven't had a chance to look at Mass Storage yet. I'll look at it over the weekend.

Remember I work on this ROM in my "spare time".

Yes i know this and i have no problem with that.

In fact I see that you have a HTC like me .. do you think this is possible porting some widgets?

It would be very difficult as all the sense widgets require the sense UI to be running.

Re: [ROM] [10/02/13] [JOP40G] - SentinelROM v3.20 - CM10.1 Source - Fast, Stable, The

So I'm having a serious issue.

My tablet isn't turning on. At all. It's plugged in and when I press the power, all it does is flash the little battery with lightning icon. Nothing else. It's also been plugged in for over an hour.

Could it be that it's just completely dead?

If so, that's another problem. Sense I turned it off this morning with 60%, got home and it wouldn't turn on. Could it be that it leaked 60% in 9 hours?

It sounds to me like your battery is just totally dead. Mine does the same thing (did it on stock ROM too) when its been run totally flat. Usually take 10 min or so before it will turn on.

As for the extreme battery drain, that would have to be a process stuck running on your tablet. There's no apps in the ROM that hog affinity by default and I get almost a week of standby time running this ROM.

When your tablet is charged up, look at the battery stats to see what's hogging affinity.

Are you running a custom kernel?

Of course, it is possible that you've experienced a total system failure. Have you tried booting into the bootloader?

This ROM only flashes the kernel and system partitions, the bootloader is untouched, so there's no way it could cause the a total system failure.

It's been plugged in for 3 hours now and still wont turn on. Can't boot into recovery or the bootloader. All it does is show the battery/lightning bolt icon for a couple seconds, then disappears.

When it drained, the tablet was off. I turned it off this morning when I went to work. Came home and tried to turn it on... and, well the same problem I've been having. I haven't changed anything on this, flashed completely stock (per your rom).

I'm freaking out... lol. Especially since I leave on vacation tomorrow morning and was going to take the tablet instead of my laptop.

EDIT: The F**K?! I just tried again and it turned on. Says it's at 0%. I'm seriously cursed when it comes to electronics... and cars... and life... lol

Are you 100% sure the charger you're trying to use is working?

Have you held down the power button for over 10 seconds to do a hard power cycle?

Beyond that there isn't much more I can suggest. As I said before, my ROM doesn't touch the bootloader partition and my kernel runs at stock frequencies and voltages, so unless you've applied your own tweaks and potentially cooked something, it sounds like you've just gotten unlucky with hardware. :(

    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.

    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.

    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.
