Got them...

O.K. @sykopompos, @Defkonoi and all other devs and testers,


10,000 is a good point to say Thank You for all your hard work.
The postcounts of this thread speak for you, for the quality of your port/rom/kernel and also for the relaxed form of discussions.


Thanx
Noooooo! Woke up late! I wanted #10,000
I've been waiting for it since #5000 :(
Oh well you snooze you... Well you know how that goes...

well, took me long enough to download the deb test build from google drive...

I tried installing it as secondary and primary via multirom, but neither booted into homescreen, stuck with boot animation...

about the log, here is the avc part(very little output, not sure if it's the right one), i'll upload the last kmsg and logcat later...
Yea I had to force the tablet to boot all the way by putting it in safe mode. Wait the 15 minutes then hold power and vol down for a couple seconds. The screen darkens and it boots in safe mode. Then everything crashes including phone and system ui. Fun stuff.

Instead of continuing on the current mako repo, I'm gonna make a new one. This way I got no remnants. Gonna start with a flo 81c base as a flo-rebase repo then fork it off to mako.
That will allow us to track it from the beginning because I keep laying down the breadcrumbs but the birdies are eating them so we keep getting lost and ending up at that nice lady's house with all that candy instead of where we wanna go with this.
The ancient dark magic is too strong in the current mako repo

The good news is the B5 ROM itself is very solid and accommodates a wide variety of KitKat based kernels. AFAIK the only major bug left is Bluetooth and there are workarounds for most everything else. Hopefully the developer tools like APKtool and the Xposed Framework get updated for L soon and we can begin getting some of the "nice to haves" that users have been asking about.

By re-basing it on the stock L configurations all your enhancements should be more easily moved to the release version of L, and to the subsequent updates that are likely to come pretty quickly based on the history of Jelly Bean and KitKat.

And if you are looking to produce generic tools and/or environments, they have to be compatible with the stock L ROM's for other devices otherwise you will wind up completing with CM, AOKP, Paranoid Android, Slim and other ROM's whose cores are enhanced versions of the AOSP source. IMO, if you want to build an "AOSP enhanced" version of the stock ROM's you are better off starting with the stock version of those ROM's. That does mean you will never be able to compile the complete ROM from source, like the AOSP enhanced ROM versions, but even those still have to depend on some proprietary binaries.

FWIW, that's the way I see it. :cool:

Well once official L comes to the source, I will be going to work on my developer resource which will essentially compete in a sense with the likes of every other ROM that is built from source. The goal is to get them to move over to the new source that I'm doing to try to increase the portability of their features between devices and different Roms.
I'm not happy with the current structure and plan to redo it in a sense starting with L

Pushing up 81c flo base to github in the flo-rebase repo. Once that is fully setup, I will fork it over to the mako-rebase and go through and clean out the flo specific files (I might actually just make that a generic fork without Flo's stuff out then copy that fork then over to mako this way there is a template) then we will start merging in the mako specific stuff and right up through with all the aosp and newer binaries. That will be v6. Breadcrumbs, bunnies and witches for mako which will be a lot leaner and lighter

Well, if you can pull that off your threads will definitely be moving to the "original" development forums. You will be promoted from a cook to a master chef. :good:

Well they will be more of a every device development thread because the base is for every device.
I'll probably keep a n4 development thread/rom for the core so I can keep up with any problems that occur in the project (probably n6 too once I get one)

Reboot. It will kick you back into permissive and then you will be able to download again

I'm not totally clear on what your tool(s) are going to do but it sounds like you would be better off in the generic development forums. Not every device segregates "original development" from "development" in the forums either.
