Try this...

1) Download & install the latest flash player apk from here.. Don't worry if its already installed, just update/override.

2) Install "Boat Browser" from the Play store

3) Open Boat Browser and under Settings > Page content settings > look for flash/plugin option. Switch to Always On or On Demand.

4) Done.

BTW: New Update for Flashplayer is out - 11.1.115.54.

Can we dirty flash this? I'm new to Sentinel as of the last build, so want to take the proper safety precautions first. I know wiping is always recommended, but I just don't fee like it ;)

Hows 4.20 going so far guys?

I've been running it for 3 days now and have had crazy good battery life (6 hours standby on 2% battery today!). I'd love some feedback on the battery life and performance!

Tried updating with the OTA updater. It restarts to the laying down android guy then restarts again but doesn't get updated. I will manually flash it tonight.

That's very strange. Maybe you got a bad download. What recovery are you on? Either way, manual flash should do the trick.

Alright so I have been using the ROM for the past 6 hours now and think I have formed a good enough opinion of it. I do like the ROM, the layout, and the features. And when I dont have a strange bug it seems fairly smooth as well so that is all good.
The one thing I cant figure out though is I have a strange bug with the CPU. For some reason the CPU has a constant 50-60% load on it on both cores. This causes the CPU to stay at either the highspeed freq on Interactive governor, or max speed on other governors such as Ktoonservative. I cannot seem to fix the issue as I have removed all apps as well as scripts, even the two scripts that come with the ROM to rule those out. So Im not sure where this load is coming from, but it does seem to cause a bit of lag in transitions and animations even though the CPU is pegged at max speed. So something is definitely taking up a lot of CPU cycles. THe load never seems to go away, I have let the tablet sit for 20 minutes like this and the problem is still there.
After switching back to AOKP PUB to diagnose a problem with their latest release the problem is no longer there. I have never seen this problem before on other ROMs either so it seems to have come only from my time with Sentinel 4.2. Whether it is really something with the ROM, or some configuration issue on my end that does not work well with the ROM I do not know. All I do know is I was unable to resolve this issue from everything I tried. Other than my strange issue that no one else seems to have, I do like the ROM a lot. Well done.

Ok cool. I'd you feel like testing more, maybe try a system wipe and no GAPPS t. See if it fixes it, then reinstall GAPPS and are if it comes back. Then install your other apps. Are you using Google Now?

Also, can you go into your battery usage and have a look at what processes are stating awake?

I will test again, but not today as I am still playing with AOKP PUB at the moment. Figured out their bug a little bit ago though. Hopefully I can help figure this one out too.
And no I dont use Google Now at all on my tablets, and I dont leave wifi on, and dont use any social media apps or voip stuff on the tablet. I use my tablet for reading and gaming only. Well, and testing of ROMs and kernels. lol

    • 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

    ________________________


    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

    Choose from an increasing range of Premium Themes for SentinelROM here.

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

    GAPPS
    http://goo.im/gapps >Check the lastest package available on top
    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.
