does this support tablet ui change from the settings?

 

[GretaLewd]

No pollux_windy files at the moment- link goes nowhere

 

[championswimmer]

initial builds are like AOSP. no custom options or features. enjoy clean vanilla android

 

[mrjayviper]

May I ask where are the files? The goo.im link is dead at least for the Wi-Fi version. Thanks

 

[mrjayviper]

Is there a problem with the windy version? Seems only Pollux is getting KitKat loving

i dont have a windy
i'll put up a build or two for testing for windy tomorrow

if everything is ok, i'll add that to official nightlies

 

[mrjayviper]

I'll test. thanks

ps. we've had builds windy in the past too and you're also the maintainer?

@championswimmer where can one follow the real time progress of the rom. AOKP is what CM used to be and it's my preference and opinion.

Thank you for maintaining this device

Hi, I just tried the latest nightly for Pollux Windy, coming from cm11, I wiped everything and installed the rom and Bank's Core gapps for 4.4.2, after the initial setup a popup kept informing me that launcher 3 had stopped. Could this be because I should have used a more complete gapps package? Fortunately I got to go on Play store and download Nova, my preferred launcher and all is well! I use core gapps as that's all I need, should launcher 3 come with gapps or rom?

Tapatalked that shiznit.

 

[Alx31]

Same here no matter the gapps pack, i tried 3 different ones.

Also as Vanir rom, when its in portrait no problem but in landscape, back key is calling google searchbar. I mean its like when u tap in search bar: keyboard popup and u cant get out from there...just by tapping home key

Sorry i needed tab so i flashed back cm, will provide logcat later...

If you would like to use TWRP Recovery with this ROM, you can use this app to install it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mer.twrpxperia

Also, this app allows you to come back to CWM if you don't like it. This app works on all custom ROMs (that have FXP-based kernel) and allows installation of TWRP to FOTAKernel partition.

Just flashed the latest windy nightly, and it softbricked.... The tablet won't even really even turn on for recovery. Thankfully, I have access to flashmode still.... I'll report back... If you are thinking of flashing this rom, make sure you know what you are doing...

*EDIT* Running stock 4.3.... I'm not very knowledgeable, but it seems like at least the 02, 25 nightly perhaps has a bad boot image...

NFC bug

Hey there,

first of all: Great rom! working fine overall. :good: Just one thing thats bothering me. NFC is always on and can't be turned off. Even tried to uninstall it using recovery exploit with Titanium Backup with no success...

I'm on the latest pollux nightly btw. Any suggestions how to get this solved? It really eats up the battery...

Did not find really much about it on the web. Just that this bug seems to be pretty common with cm11?

Edit: Don't know if anybody else has this problem... Just in case: I finally managed to solve the problem by unchecking NFC in options and then rebooting the device right from that options screen. After reboot NFC is successfully turned off.

Install Greenify app - then you can set nfc to hibernate when not in use.

This ROM is actually quite good. ART is working fine with this one.
The typical bluetooth bug is in this one too though.

There is also no double tap to wake.

Would be nice if the maintainer adds that into this rom if anyone is still reading this.

 

[Lupin The Third]

Latest nightly lags very badly. System reboots constantly... Unusable...

Flashed with full wipes

Try installing twrp with rom toolbox (the free version can do also)
