I thought I would try to build a rom from source and I wanted to try one that might be faster or at least really small. Rom itself only takes up 24mb on internal storage!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Working:

Both CDMA and GSM Networks are working (tell me if GSM isn't)
Rotation
Camera! Thx to wedgess!
Bluetooth (should be I don't have devices to test with)
Wifi
Root
USB Mass Storage or MTP if your using wedgess' or cosmicdans' kernel
GPS
TouchScreen
Advanced Slim Settings (A.S.S)
Video playback is just as buggy as other JB roms.i
Multiboot (also specific to cosmicdans' or wedgess' kernel

Not working yet:

~~[*] Camcorder is still broken on the latest build but Camera is working 100%~~
Camera and Camcorder work on wedgess' & cosmicdans' kernels
OTA causes Settings to force close. So DON'T TOUCH IT! I should remove it but I'm lazy
Something I missed? Don't be shy tell me in the thread!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Install:

You must have an [BIG]UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER[/BIG] if you were wondering
Perform the usual nandroid backup of your working set-up.
Use LuPus V3 or Turbo JB Kernel
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvik cache
Format System ( found in mounts & storage in CWM )
Flash ROM from the DOWNLOADS section in the 2nd post

Huge thanks to CM, FXP, KXP, SlimBean's github, Slimrom's homepage whose work and sources made this possible.
paxChristos for his cdma fix on jellybean
Multiple developers on the Xperia play forums

And if anyone is interested in what I changed from CyanogenMod's device trees to make this compile, then here's my github:

This is awesome man! So tiny! Would be awesome to build MIUI5 on this little baby! ~~Any plans for a GSM version eventually?~~ I'm sure a GSM version would build fine, if not then we could just try using the ril-related libs from CM10

paragroth · Nov 6, 2012

Great! Congrats on this ROM, hope to see some GSM for later releases! good to see more love coming to our beloved XPlays!

sechko · Nov 6, 2012

I can try porting GSM version...

CosmicDan · Nov 6, 2012

Wouldn't it be better to help cj's source builds? Splitting/kanging the project is not the best idea.

Very nice! I'm definitely going to try this out. 24MB is freaking tiny for a ROM. :3 I'll get back to you on results.

If want to sure, but like Dan said it might be easier for me since I just need to change from Zeusc to Zeus. Let me know if you really want to otherwise I'll probably be putting up a version for gsm users.

Next build has the mirror issue fixed and it does not need the lagfix zip. I'm still working on the kernel, just cause recovery is still broken on it.

CosmicDan · Nov 7, 2012

Good luck with the kernel thing, I got no idea lol...

Maybe a GSM port wouldn't be so bad. Since I would like to make an MIUI5 based on this, if we can just replace libs and/or hack the framework smali to use GSM, that would make MIUI5 easier to support both CDMA and GSM.

Or even if, when you get around to it - build one GSM version and if I find the differences in framework and libs myself then you wouldn't have to worry about building twice every time. For once it'll be a ROM which is CDMA built and needs a GSM Patch instead of the other way around

cj360 · Nov 7, 2012

I use cm10 sources for the kernel maybe that will have a better outcome.

It looks like sechko made a thread for this port already for gsm

Noticed after I posted, hoping to include wedges' camera fix as well if I can figure out recovery. Probably work on it this weekend.

MGSBigBoss · Nov 7, 2012

Sounds good I'm actually waiting for the next release before I decide to download and try it out. I was waiting for milestone 1 for aokp.. I haven't tried pacman.. I plan on using this one

Heya bro I finally got a chance to try this out, awesome sauce really. I built my own kernel based on KRsH (same as the MIUI Oz ROM) and manually updated genlock/fb code for Jellybean, super fast! But I had a few issues with the ROM, kept failing on buffer locks and falling back to software rendering (whenever you scroll). Here's the log:

Code:

?: E/libgenlock(462): perform_lock_unlock_operation: GENLOCK_IOC_DREADLOCK failed (lockType0x1,err=Connection timed out fd=51)
?: W/Adreno200-EGLSUB(462): <GetBackBuffer:2121>: genlock_lock_buffer GENLOCK_WRITE_LOCK failed
?: W/Adreno200-ES20(462): <gl2_surface_swap:43>: GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY
?: W/Adreno200-EGL(462): <qeglDrvAPI_eglSwapBuffers:3477>: EGL_BAD_ALLOC
?: W/HardwareRenderer(462): EGL error: EGL_BAD_ALLOC
?: W/HardwareRenderer(462): Mountain View, we've had a problem here. Switching back to software rendering.

And I solved it by using all these files from latest CM10 ROM:

Code:

lib\libgenlock.so               
lib\libGLESv1_CM.so             
lib\libGLESv2.so                
lib\libGLES_trace.so            
lib\egl\egl.cfg                 
lib\egl\eglsubAndroid.so        
lib\egl\libEGL_adreno200.so     
lib\egl\libGLESv1_CM_adreno200.so
lib\egl\libGLESv2S3D_adreno200.so
lib\egl\libGLESv2_adreno200.so  
lib\egl\libGLES_android.so      
lib\egl\libq3dtools_adreno200.so
lib\hw\audio.a2dp.default.so    
lib\hw\audio.primary.default.so 
lib\hw\audio.primary.msm7x30.so 
lib\hw\audio_policy.default.so  
lib\hw\audio_policy.msm7x30.so  
lib\hw\camera.semc.so           
lib\hw\copybit.msm7x30.so       
lib\hw\gps.goldfish.so          
lib\hw\gps.semc.so              
lib\hw\gralloc.default.so       
lib\hw\gralloc.msm7x30.so       
lib\hw\hwcomposer.msm7x30.so    
lib\hw\keystore.default.so      
lib\hw\lights.semc.so           
lib\hw\local_time.default.so    
lib\hw\power.default.so         
lib\hw\sensors.default.so       
lib\hw\sensors.goldfish.so

And now it's ultra-smooth and fast. I did not flash the lagfix by the way.

Anyway, if you want to look at my kernel i just pushed the last changes to my GitHub - under KRsH repo, jellybean branch. Remember that this is NOT a CM10 kernel! It is based on my KRsH-based stock ICS kernel with Jellybean updates

it also has a ramdisk in there too with my own minor mods. Another thing to note is that it has 280MB on system and 8MB on cache and the ramdisk will symlink /cache/dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache. So a full format/FTF flash will be required if you don't remove the mtdparts from kernel commandline.

Cheers! Now to start working on MIUI5....

Sounds awesome! I have a break between my classes maybe i can futx with it.

that's weird that you had the issue with the failing buffer locks. the first build has that issue which is why I added the lagfix, but I build with cm's hardware and I couldn't get what was causing it.

Here's the next beta build. It doesn't need the lagfix from aokp any more and I'm pretty sure the frame buffer issue was something from slimbean and I believe they fixed it.

I'll be editing the 2nd post so it has the downloads and maybe clean up the OP Friday or Saturday.

Does this include the lines that cosmicdan posted few posts up?

I'm trying to build a kernel from his sources if that's what you mean. Between cm10's hardware and slimbean'srecent update those errors should be gone. Also for whatever reason slimbean likes the older GB music player, I don't so apollo, Trebuchet, and cm10's new file manager will be included in the next build.

MGSBigBoss · Nov 10, 2012

Hey cj do you think you can add the Xperia s or another keyboard instead of the crappy small default jb/ics one?
