Excellent rom, munjeni, it has made me love this little device once again and can't wait until next build with new fixes.

I had posted earlier about reboot issues but I didn't have a sim in the phone at the time. Once the sim was in, no more reboots. Just thought I'd share that experience :).

One request, though.. Bluetooth tethering. I can't seem to get it to work with either dun or pan. With prior Android versions (CM7, that is), I could use dun out of the box or use android-wireless-tether for bt pan. I noticed in WinSuk's change log that it said "Bluetooth tethering fixed". Is that something you could implement in your next build?

I installed winsuk's beta and i keep having random apps close on me when i try to open them. It's sporadic and i'm thinking about switching back to this one for sake of stability.

ditto. I'll reboot, and an app like twitter, calendar, gmail etc will work fine. then an hour later it will continually force close. reboot and fine again. Munjeni's is pretty stable.

Its easy, just reboot to recovery and do:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
...wait 10-20min to proces end... and than use recovery and create new partition on your sd card...

Assuming cwm is already installed

Put rom and gapps zip on SD card
Boot to recovery
Make a nandriod backup
Full wipe data, cache and dalvik
Flash rom
Reboot
Go back to recovery flash gapps
Reboot

So it will be like a normal wipe with CWM? SD-Ext, Android-Secure and all that?
Yes it will be like factory reset. Wiped will be:
- boot
- system
- userdata
- cache
- /sdcard/Android
- /sdcard/.android_secure

If you use/have sd-ext you need to wipe it manualy... I added this script because some new users can not doing factory reset and have wrong installed rom, so I added script to do it in prevention from wrong installation :)... its important for clean installation and fresh rom...

I just finished customising installation with your first version of ROM and don't want to lose my configuration by new CWM procedure. Could you please give a short description how to update via adb?

Reboot to recovery, mount system, extract update.rar to the same folder where is your adb.exe, use next commands:
Code:
adb push system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/
adb push system/lib/modules/tun.ko /system/lib/modules/
adb push boot.img /
adb shell erase_image boot
adb shell flash_image boot /boot.img
adb shell reboot
But you can not get camera working and other things with old cm9 version! You need to clean install latest rom!

    Sorry, I do not want to make confusion with two different roms (munjeni/Winsuk), currently Winsuk github source in comparation with my localy source is much different, also kernels is diferent, so I opened this thread from that reason! Will update this thread soon!

    Everyone who has shared their working ICS source - It has helped a lot in fixing things
    30
    Instruction/fixes/changelog is here:

    10.Apr.2012:
    • Wifi signal icon is fixed

    13.Apr.2012:
    • source totaly cleaned after some tests (pull reguest from Cyanodenmod cm9 repo + very small changes (like untached)), right key is in board_device_liberty :)
    • gps fixed (I'm not tested)
    • very fast and smooth response on everything
    • lightsensor fixed
    • libcamera.so is patched from msm7k to msm7x27 but not working (need to port old QualcommCameraHardware.cpp)

    27.Apr.2012:
    • Camera preview and camera shoot is fixed, not stable but working good [credits to modpunk, WinSuk and all who shared their source]
    • Ics librpc for gps fixed [credits to modpunk]
    • kernel updated [there was problem with memory allocation, so camera not worked from that reason...]
    • a lot of framework changes/cleanups is fixed by Cyanogenmod team so... [all credits to him]
    • maybe I forgot something? :)
    • light sensor/backlight is fixed and tested, please read this:


    • How to enable utomatic backligh:
      - go to settings/display/brightnress and set it to automatic
      - go to settings/display/automatic_backlight select use custom
      - go to settings/display/automatic_backlight/edit_other_levels and set 0,33,77,220,308,397,485,698,860,1023 seccond column 66,96,103,115,130,152,152,255,255,255 third column 255,255,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, than save&apply
      - go to settings/display/automatic_backlight and select allow light decrease
      - go to settings/display/automatic_backlight/decrease_hysteresis and set it to 50%

      Now its totaly automatic for me...​

    28.Apr.2012:
    • rom is deodexed now!

    03.May.2012:
    • New kernel with realigned Aria memory layout (heap size is increased for 8MB {adsp_size have 4MB more, gpu_size have 4MB more})... no more (sometimes but very less) force closes
    • New kernel modules (cifs, tun, nls_utf8, bcm4329.ko)... its needed for mounting network folders :)
    • New camera updates (Thanks WinSuk)
    • New memalloc and gralloc lib (disabled annoying "debug" log for memalloc... now its only "info" and "error")
    • Video still is not fixed (my wrong sorry... some HQ videos working but most of HQ videos not working :()... I think maybe reason is not good because googleOMX is msm7627 ?

    10.May.2012:
    • New kernel with new allocators (not fully ported from kernel 3 "contiguous memory nomap" only part of it :()
    • Kernel, enabled SLOB, enabled KSM, enabled LZO compresion needed for zRam... and a lot of other... you can see all changes on my git!
    • New camera upstream updates + camera timer + updates from WinSuk git (Thanks WinSuk, s0be, cm team and all who working on camera)
    • A lot of fixes from upstream
    • No force closes (added some scripts to init.d like zram automout, zram auto free, free pagecache, free dentries and inodes, modules automount, gps permission...)... but in prevention of force closes, you need to free memory sometimes to get android stable(I use airdroid app and his great memory releaser) :)
    • Old librpc + new gps.conf (gps have fast lock now)
    • First config screen on first boot :)
    • Video still is not fixed
    • Camera recorder is not fixed
    You need to enable "kernel same page merging" in setting/performance. To get full working autobacklight you need to enable "allow lights decrease" in settings/display/automatic_backlight. You do not need to enable zram, it's enabled by default by script until compcache_enable is fixed android side, kernel side it's good. This build is more stable for me!

    13.May.2012:
    • Logo for my kernel :)
    • Some tweaks for ram (you will have constantly 90mb amount of the free memory, so... less force closes or maybe no force closes:))
    • Camera recorder is fixed but... :( ((camcorder recording but no one cm9 rom for Aria have video encoding/decoding hardware bassed, its software bassed... 15 fps... we need hardware bassed compresion/decompresion to get fully working recorder and youtube videos)

    07.Jun.2012:
    • Mobile networks choosing in Select Network
    • zRam full fixed, you can enable/disable/set_size from settings menu
    • A lot a lot a lot of Cyanogenmod upstream changes :)
    • kernel: Framebufer console during boot (Its for fun... if you not like it I will disable in next build)
    • kernel: VR IO scheduler
    • kernel: InteractiveX governor
    • kernel: deep sleep mode

    09.Jul.2012:
    • All new Cyanogenmod upstream changes
    • kernel: Framebufer console during boot disabled
    • kernel: deep sleep mode (reverted back to like previous build)
    • some progress with FM radio (all is fixed and working but only have no audio :(... maybe some one have some programing skills to find what is wrong with audio? Or maybe to manually send command to kernel to get fm audio routing to headset?)
    12
    Kernel improvements: deep sleep mode working now (7mA battery drain :eek:) -> http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1629/screenshot2012052019050.png ,new gsensor driver with support for android temperature sensor ;)...etc

    New build is out, enjoy
