I've managed to take the GIT of android 4.2 and get it to compile with the crespo device tree from the 4.1.2 GIT repo with some minor modifications.

I currently have a GT9020A (fido canada network) and I'm currently running android 4.2 on it with my custom kernel.


Overall Changleog:

New Source tree added. Not my latest on the crespo source but it includes the crespo4g and also I linked my kernel image in the device tree

Using the new apps package here makes a massive difference in how smooth the play store runs etc

My build is also nearing the end, you beat me to it, congratz.
Is everything working? I saw BT might give some trouble and I'm assuming fixing that stupid camera error (O_CREAt LOL, FU Samsung) is enough to get it working.

I've managed to take the GIT of android 4.2 and get it to compile with the crespo source from the cyanogenmod jellybean GIT repo with some minor modifications.

I currently have a GT9020A (fido canada network) and I'm currently running android 4.2 on it with my custom kernel.

Kernel Changes

-Overclocking enabled to 1.3 ghz as that's the highest I could get my phone to go stable
-added VR i/o scheduler as default
-added smartassv2 as default governor
-removed fsync for performance (francisco kernel)

I upgraded this os from a stock android 4.1.2 firmware all I needed to do is wipe cache no factor reset
GAPPS is now included

Firmware (No GAPPS): www.freefilehosting.net/fullcrespo-ota-engdark

Update

I've gotten gapps working porting them from the factory GN firmware. The phone seems fully functional now.

Sorry guys didn't relise I didn't disable recovery from the source

yeah and O_CREAT just wants a O_CREAT,(file mode) IE:666 then it compiles. Camera is working.

was just wondering about the multiple user feature ? btw.. gg for breaking the ice for out sadly outdated crespo ..

 

[samcortez]

Could someone here gives me a new server? I can't download anything from that site. Please, upload a rom with that "bug" fixed.

Raducux. I think that should be easy to active, maybe something at build.prop? Google maybe wants this, remember that Google have put magnets sensor at the Nexus 7 for the hability to turn on screen with the open cover? And they never released some official acessorie like this to Nexus 7 because Apple has pattented this. Google doesn't allow multiple user at smartphone because Nokia has a patent for that, only on smartphones, not tablet.

God! Guys, you are very fast! I can't see your moves...

waht custom kernel we can use with this rom

 

[madd0g]

Alright, tried this latest build now. Seems that the clock is cut off on the lockscreen, no idea how Google coded this. Photosphere is also missing, guess it could be done with some extra efforts. Google TTS engine keeps fcing.

You can flash CWM Super SU zip. Find it on xda.

Found an Issue in google voice search. the app fails to start. If you go into apps an uninstall it then reinstall it from the play store it resolves the issue.

I think even the official 4.2 update for the supported devices had the Google Voice bug but as major tech sites has reported, the Play Store update fixed the issue.

4.1.x custom kernel works great with 4.2? Voodoo colour and High bigmem is essential to me.

Location services don't work. Google now and maps can't get a lock.

That's probably the classic gps flaw that's been around since ICS. you can get around that by downloading a program like faster fix to correct it


Or you can do it manually:


1. Create a gps.conf file containing these:

NTP_SERVER=ca.pool.ntp.org <----- change this to the closest server to you
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

2. Copy gps.conf in to your sdcard

3. With adb shell, run these commands:
su
remount rw
cat /sdcard/gps.conf > /system/etc/gps.conf
reboot

You can try this clock widget if it fits better : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.alamoapps.unboldedclockwidget

I wasn't talking about gps. I'm talking about wifi/data connection. Can't get location through them.
