You and Roe have got to be the most humble people here. TBH most normal people don't start attacking anothers character just because of a few implications. They boycott. But I must be type B and a few of the hotheads are type A. Btw TL did your rom ever run on clemsyns kernel previously?

I think the first release had clemsyns, all was great but it didn't have the pc mount to work with Honeycomb.

I can fairly quickly analyze any ROM and find the differences and whats been changed. But, let me explain my view on "stealing".

I do not believe in an open source project there is such a thing as stealing. If that were the case then we are all running stolen versions of Honeycomb because the manufacturer never released a Honeycomb ROM.

The first thing that drove me to development on this project was the fact there was no PC mount. I dug through the Kernel, the framework and the libs and after a good week or so found that the systemui I was using had no mount references in it, but one of the ones I "stole" did. So I merged the two, recompiled and BAM! it worked. It was late so I posted the update and went to bed.

The next day I seen Roebeet on the Flashback thread asking how I got it to work. Unfortunately being at work I couldn't respond. After seeing his edits of trying different things I emailed him and told him to take the systemUI from Flashback. He emailed back that it didn't work. Turned out the systemui I "stole" was from Roebeet. In the case of BOS it was the kernel, but in the flashback kernel the gsensor wasnt working so Roebeet didn't want to lose that over the external mounts. I then told him I seen that people were flashing gingerbread kernels and it was working maybe pershoots would work. He tried it and BAM! fixed my gsensor and his mounts.

So to me all this "stealing" is really borrowing and sharing of ideas and accomplishments and moves development much faster.

So to answer your question, I don't need a changelog of github, my ark zip program and apktool work just fine. This is my personal opinion and I know that of others differ, I respect that. I work with the framework not the kernel and I am probably not the best to comment on kernel development.

I hope now we can move forward helping users with Issues. I count on the community help so I can keep plugging away at the 3.1 port.

I need another BAM! it works! LOL

Thanks and I hate to spam your thread with questions like that. I think you're a very personable dev unlike LBS. I mean I'm not a LBS detractor but it is what it is with him. Even if your ROM sucked balls, I would still respect you for what you do. Haha. But it doesn't so no issues there.

I'll let the devs police themselves because you guys are smart enough to know if you aren't getting the recognition from other devs. I mean, like you said...not all devs think the same way so if they have a problem with LBS, I'm sure they'd call him out themselves.

Just installed this rom today and all I can say is WOW! I tried to install Illuminate first, but it refused to install on my gtab (must be special?). I usually don't leave thank you posts, but seeing the attitude around here....THANK YOU for developing this release that breathes new life into my gtab. If this is what you can do in an alpha, I can't wait to see what a beta will bring!!!

I know, right? I don't think I ever even used the camera, so it's pretty much a beta for me. And the UI is so much better than it was in gingerbread or froyo. I mean, it would be great to get the camera working to have the option to video chat and stuff, but it's really not that essential since I always have my phone or laptop (which both have video chat and picture taking capabilities).

Has anyone gotten titanium backup to work on this ROM? I know the device technically didnt need to be rooted, so titanium says it root access failed when I try to use it.

Titanium Backup has been working fine for me. If you were able to install the ROM, you should have root access. Are you sure you allowed it in the Superuser Permissions app? That could prevent it from giving you root access. Try opening the Superuser app and see if it's allowed. Are you using the latest version of Titanium Backup? It was just updated today; that could also be the issue, although the past several versions have been working fine for me.

Sorry, I thought I had edited the post to say I got it figured out. I had to go into Root Explorer and switch from R/O to R/W. Once I did that, Titanium worked.

Guys - keep it clean and respectful or else I will have to action and maybe even close the thread.

5.3 is up. Let me know if battery performance has improved!

mydave1 · Jul 9, 2011

tlbardelljr sir, thanks for taking the time to adapt good features from AdamComb. Your baby product has always been great, not it is even better.

Has anybody done a video of this rom in action or who will consider doing one? If there is already one can you tell me where to find it? I looked at the videos of the roms -- the list and didn't see it. Thanks, in advance!

ramerco · Jul 9, 2011

Nice work so far!

Any chance you will include the data2loop mod/hack in this? It seems to work well on HC, at least on the GtabComb build.

Also, does the boot.img (specifically init.rc) have commands to execute scripts in system/etc/init.d?

Thanks!

I think its a great idea edirector. I don't have the hardware to make a video. If nobody here wants to make one I will see if I can get a friend to help out.

I don't think the data2loop hack is the cause of the boot loops you said you are getting with gtabcomb, but i responded in the other thread so we can leave the discussion there.

I was having issue with market after updating to 5.3 problem went away. Thanks.

thatoneguy247 · Jul 10, 2011

You have my favorite ROM out right now. Your updates are consistent and you really get on the issues that your rom may have in a timely matter. I was looking at other roms, but I think I'm going to stay with Flashback for a while.
Thanks tlbardelljr!

raphenucleus · Jul 10, 2011

I was about to mention that I was having problems with google earth force closing and network-based location not working on 5.3, but then I checked out the thread over on SlateDroid and saw that you fixed these issues on 5.4, which will be coming soon. Otherwise it's running really smoothly. Looking forward to 5.4!

I can make a video of the ROM if you want, but it would be using my evo, so the quality may not be all that great. Also, I assume it would be better to wait for 5.4 to do so, since it will have the issues from 5.3 fixed.

I am still on 5.2 and it is still working good for me, so I am going to wait patiently for 5.4.

Update: Well 5.4 is up time to flash it and test it out

nunjabusiness · Jul 11, 2011

I am extremely pleased with 5.4. Everything working as it should after update.
Running benchmarks to check my notes. Antutu locked the thing up, but smartbench just ran and gave me a 3414 after a fresh boot and no manual closing of running apps. Pretty decent I think. I had a 3200-something with 5.0 before.
