[ROM] [2013-05-14] CM10 "Look Ma! No Hands!" Edition

[pengus77]

Hiya !
As a result of all the r&d in Metallica's thread, i'm starting this new one to focus mainly on testing if by having cm10 run on the new bootloader, the call bug is somehow affected/resolved.
So let's do that

For whoever may want to compile the rom, all the patches and instructions are here and on the next few pages. Let's keep that thread for raw development and this one for testing

This rom is 99% pure cm material and, aside the patches i applied to make it boot on the new bootloader and some little things like PDroid... for now...

Do not, and i repeat, do not flash any official cm10 or cm10.1 release when on the new booloader. It will just fail miserably

So, here goes...

Updated howto to simplify the process by using the cwm flashable recovery

If you come from any ICS with unlocked bootloader (Topogigi, Carburano, etc...):
1) grab the recovery zip and the cm10 zip attached to this post
2) enable debug in developer options (if you haven't already of course)
3) connect the usb cable to your box
4) copy the two zips in your external sd card
5) reboot to recovery by holding power and volume down
5) wipe data/cache, then go to mounts and format system (just to be safe)
6) flash the recovery zip file you previously slapped in the external sd card
7) reboot recovery from the advanced menu
8) flash the cm10 zip as usual

If you come from a GB Bootloader (cm7/9/10 - stock gb):
1) get the AIO Toolkit and read the instructions on that thread !!!
2) in the AIO toolkit select to flash my recovery
3) download the latest cm10 zip attached to this post
4) copy the zip to your external sd card
5) boot to recovery holding down POWER and VOL- together
6) flash the cm10 zip as usual

If you update from a previous version of this rom
1) download the new version to your external (or internal) sdcard
2) reboot to recovery
3) wipe cache/dalvik (no data wiping necessary at all)
4) flash the rom
5) reboot and enjoy

A nandroid backup of your previous rom is vigorously suggested

A big thanks to RC and the CM team for cm10 and cm10.1 is mandatory
Special thanks go to Tonyp, Metallica, Harsh, Wkpark, Imperticus, and all the people (surely i forgot someone, don't hate me) that spent time and effort in brainstorming to make this possible in the r&d thread

Pengus Kernel

Development of this kernel has been discontinued and resumed as Kowalski Kernel in this thread !​

Change Log

2013/01/13
 - Fixed wifi issues when tethering
 - Reverted a patch related to sdcard access
 - Set default i/o readahead to 256 kbytes
 - Added a temp wake / unwake lock to suspend/resume for bcm4329
 - Revert to 32M of carveout reduction
 - Force wifi pm_fast mode when screen on
 - Revert to 07/01 values for kernel flags

2013/01/11
 - Disabled auto hotplug during screen-on operations
   * Both CPUs will be always active
 - Enabled auto hotplug only during suspend
   * On screen off the 2nd core will go to sleep
 - Small changes in the kernel cflags

2013-01-10
- Fixed auto_hotplug code that was causing freezes
- Fixed the auto_hotplug parameters for good
- Configuration optimizations (lots of them)
- Fixed a couple bugs in the wifi pm system
- Set default i/o readahead to 1024 kbytes
- Implemented Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP
- Applied a few patches to speedup access to the sd
- Modified cflags to speedup the fpu a bit

2013-01-07
- Fixed notification lights... again.
  * They work perfectly when selecting "always on" mode.
  * Blinking requires some more love in the kernel. Works perfectly when on charger.
- Fixed wifi power consumption when in active use.

2013-01-06
- Carveout reduced to 120M. 32M more ram for free.
- Fixed notification lights. They blink correctly now.
- Fixed wifi:
  * Will keep the connection in background and allow the phone to enter deep sleep.
  * Preconfigured to use PM_FAST in suspend and PM_OFF during normal operation.
  * Added sysfs interface for wifi power management (/sys/modules/wireless/parameters/max_pm).
  * "echo 1 > /sys/modules/wireless/parameters/max_pm" will enable PM_MAX suspend mode.
- Fixed bluetooth:
  * Allows the phone to enter deep sleep without disconnecting the clients.
  * Headset commands will not work when the phone is in deep sleep.
  * Just turn on the screen and they will work fine until there is rf traffic (music, voice, etc).
  * Added 60 seconds grace time before deep sleep kicks in.
- Backported ROW I/O scheduler from Qualcomm (from kernel 3.2). Set as default.
- Backported Dynamic Interactive governor (from kernel 3.2). Set as default.
- Backported Auto Hotplug (from kernel 3.4) and removed Tegra Hotplug.
  * Kernel will disable the second core when not needed.
  * Second core is always off when in sleep mode.
- Backported multiple SMP patches (from kernel 3.4).
- Updated Interactive governor with patches from the Aurora Project.
- Enabled support for BoostPulse on the Interactive governor.
- Added support for NTFS and HFS+ filesystems.
- Added support for NFS 3/4.
- Added support for multiple tcp congestion algorithms.
- Changed the default tcp congestion algorithm to Westwood.
- Removed all debug options. Kernel is compiled in release mode now.

2012-12-30
- Fixed bluetooth disconnecting when screen off. Note: When bt is on, the phone won't go into deep sleep.
- Fixed wireless hotspot. When hotspot is active, wifi will not go to sleep so tethering will work fine.
- Merged marsgod audio/media fixes from his github.
- Merged a ton of fixes from nvidia and broadcom.
- Reduced carveout to 128M so, well, you get 24M of additional ram for free.
- Some more fixes to the wifi module, so it drains even less battery in deep sleep.
- Removed the conservative governor when in sleep, possible cause of BSODs.
- Set deadline as default i/o scheduler and tweaked a bit the parameters.

Before installing these kernels, just two things
1) This is only for the new bootloader. Don't install it on the old one or your phone won't boot.
2) Wipe dalvik and cache in cwm before flashing a kernel. No data wipe is necessary.

For kernels >= 2013-01-06
- Make sure that in Settings -> Performance -> Processor it's set as default the DynInteractive governor, and that in Settings -> Performance -> I/O Scheduler the default is ROW. For both tick the "set on boot" option and reboot. The DynInteractive seems to behave perfectly in terms of frequency ramping so far and keeps the system running mostly on low clock speeds, unless really needed (games, heavy browsing, etc).
- To enable the wifi conservative mode, via adb/terminal, type "su" and then "echo 1 > /sys/module/wireless/parameters/max_pm". This setting will not stick across reboots, but will take effect as soon as you turn off your screen.
- They will work only on roms with a date >= 2012-12-28

Warning, dragons ahead !

1) Enable Swap on the unused SWP partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p4) - Thanks to wfd for the idea

This will grant you 370mb of swap space.
On heavy duty this will maybe slow down marginally your phone, but trying is for free and that partition is 100% wasted otherwise
Download the SwapEnabler.zip attached to this post and flash it in cwm. Done

2) Fix Nitz time on V30A and SU660 basebands

So your timezone is totally crazy ? Just add "telephony.test.ignore.nitz=true" to /system/build.prop and reboot. This will fix it.
Don't know how to mount/remount edit files on android system ? Learn from above or... flash NitzDisabler.zip attached to this post from cwm

3) Swap External/Internal sdcards - Thanks to Imperticus

Check out this post and download the file attached to it. Just flash it in cwm and your sdcards will be swapped

4) DPI Changer - Thanks to Tonyp

Check out this post and read it carefully

5) Working GTalk Audio/Video !!! - Thanks to wfd

Say thanks to wfd on this post

6) Interesting post on how to get a perfect GPS fix - Thanks to tetsuo55

You can find the post here and don't forget to thank him !

7) Working FaceLock for CM10 roms ! - Thanks to flopower1996

Here's the post where you can thank him and download the apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37795310&postcount=3044

This recovery works perfectly fine also to flash Carburano's DJ X, civato's ICS with aroma installer and the upcoming cm10.1 (for new layout) from Imperticus. Tested personally going back and forth between my cm10 and the ones listed and all went smooth.

 

[RohanAJoshi]

Whola..
I m gonna try this...
.
One question, recovery is modified, so it can use to flash other roms like topogigi or we need to change revovey again for those roms ?

Better if you revert to the one that came with the rom originally. It's in the nvflash pack.
The recovery is not really modified at code level, only how it presents the phone to the updater script so that cm10 installer doesn't complain.
I'm working to adapt the zip to the ics recovery, but it's taking a while... in the meantime this recovery is the only one guaranteed to work correctly for this cm10 version

Edit: updated OP. Tested with carburano's and civato's ics roms and they both flash correctly with this recovery

 

[h1one]

Cool. Will try this. Thanks pengus!

Is it possible to go from LG Official V30a to this? if yes, how please as i dont have the Boot Recovery mode on it after smartflashing Official V30a, please guide me...

Are U blind or just too layzy:

"
If you come from a GB Bootloader (cm7/9/10 - stock gb):
1) place the cm10 zip attached to this post in the external sdcard of your phone.
2) grab one of the ICS roms out there (Django Manouche X, TG P990 ICS V30A, or whatever you prefer based on V28 or V30).
3) replace the recovery.img file in the folder of the rom you downloaded with the one attached in this post.
4) nvflash the rom you chose following the instructions on the relative pages and let the phone boot fully (so it formats your internal sdcard correctly).
5) after first boot, shutdown the phone.
6) turn on the phone and boot it to recovery by holding power and volume down.
7) flash the zip file you previously slapped in the external sd card.

"
This should work for U

 

[wucinac]

someone has already tried it? Some news regarding the call bug?

 

[aldyu]

I think you need to unlock the bootloader first then root then install the appropriate CWM for the new bootloader. Then follow the instruction in OP for those already in new bootloader.

 

[BigD18t]

with the ADB/terminal command, do we typr it all in one go ?

 

[k101d]

If new CM10 out (or CM10.1) can we flash it instant or need to make something change before flash other rom?

 

[x_justin]

Oh noo are you serious this rom is out? I think I have to take a day off because this rom will answer one BIG question! Damn nice work, thanks a lot for all the efforts.

 

[hellraiser]

You Need to change your phone partition layout.

If new CM10 out (or CM10.1) can we flash it instant or need to make something change before flash other rom?

You cant flash cm10 directly on Ics patition layout, as cm10 still works on old GB layout, so u need to go back to nv flash GB or use nvflash toolkit. :angel:

 

[k101d]

OK get idea I check the updater-script both origainal CM10 and the new mod for this ICS partition layout and found mounting point different SO I think if I want to flash anyrom into this ICS partiotion layout I will try to edit updater-script.

 

[anjo88]

call bug resolved?

 

[x_justin]

call bug resolved?

Most important thing of this rom is we can enjoy the pink LG logo while booting CM10. Less important is the call bug, hopefully it's fixed too=)

Well, that's what this is all about isn't it?:laugh: Can't really say, but we all hope! Just installed, CM10 is damnnn SMOOTHH compared to 30A
