v1.6.2 is baked into the rom.
v1.6.1 is similar but without any wake(DT2W/S2W/S2S) controls.

New feature as of 10/10/14
Plain-Tweak:
Ever wanted to control your kernel from a file on your internal storage? Now you can! There are currently 3 different ways

1.) Manually create a text file on the root of /sdcard named 'plaintweak' with the following values:
gov=(your choice of governor)
maxkhz=(max cpu clockrate for all cores)
minkhz= (min cpu clockrate for all cores)
scheduler=(choice of IO scheduler)
tcpcong=(choice of TCP Congestion control)

2.)Invoking the instruction 'plaintweak' with adb shell or Terminal Emulator.

3.)Separate aroma package for your device(not yet created) or through the rom installer.

When I run 'plaintweak' from aroma package adb shell or Terminal Emulator wouldn't it get overwritten?
No! Not at all. Your old settings are saved at /sdcard/plain-tweak listed by date.

Don't like the values? Want a different configuration? Rather use Performance Control or another app?
Simply rename your current plaintweak file or copy an older plaintweak file to /sdcard root located in /sdcard/plain-tweak.


Custom Density
Currently 3 different ways to set
This can be controlled via the aroma package installer, abd shell/terminal emulator, or through placeholder file
/sdcard/customdensity that contains "customdensity=<value>"
If value is less than 180 it will not set. If value has a difference of 180 from default it will not set. May take 2 reboots to also set properly if using placeholder file only.
With adb shell/terminal emulator:
'buildproptweaks density *180 and up in values of 20

For example;
buildproptweaks density 200
then reboot

Custom bootanimation
Must be 720x1080 and placed at /sdcard/bootani/bootanimation.zip

Bootanimation disabling
There is 3 different ways to disable it.
1. Through aroma installer package
2. With adb shell/terminal emulator:
2a. type in 'bootanimation' it will toggle
2b. type in 'buildproptweaks bootanim [en|dis]able'

Sorry found it

Updated post #2 with link to the standalone kernel installer.

 

[chaostrodamis]

what feature does this rom include and will your kernel be updated. Your kernel with deadline/lionheart combo has me going 3 days no charge easy with more then 50 percent screen on time.

 

[Snuzzo]

"Don't fix what's not broken" the kernel is working great.

The actual features have not been implemented yet.

Absolutely right. Kernel works great. Will wait patiently for rom update thanks for the reply and the Rom Dev.

Sorry to ask, but might not be the only one. would you mind setting screen wake controls to default as off in you next kernel update. lags system and screen wake up. users can turn on if wanted. Just request to a busy dev. thank you

Once I get more users to request that. I will.

OP updated to reflect proper hosting for downloads and special mention to @CPA Poke for his autodetection of EXT4 & F2FS.

@chaostrodamis
Oh I forgot to mention. 1.6.1 had DT2W disabled. All future updates will have my latest baked in, so for now use that version.

 

[Snuzzo]

Gave a quick 10/1 build. Not much changed but did want to start rolling out weeklies.

any features or changes worth mentioning?

Only thing notable that applies to this device, battery lock around lockring . Found in Settings -> Security. A couple frameworks opts. Removed Documents file manager in favor of Slim explorer.

Hello,

Sorry for asking a noob question, but what would the order of steps be to use this rom after converting a nexus 7 to f2fs?

Do I need to use LegoKernel or can I use the kernel given here? I was thinking I might have to use the instructions at this post, under "If you didn't switch to F2FS and want to do it now," but I'm not sure.

(to clarify: the nexus 7 is not currently f2fs, running an older omni nightly)

 

[Snuzzo]

All you have to do is make sure your setup for All-F2FS. My kernel is setup to handle the rest, and the installer detects what partitions are f2fs. You can actually be using an ext4 setup to use the ROM too. So nothing really special needed. Just wipe your /data apps and /system then flash ROM and gapps.

 

[Rimmir]

one more stupid question, is flashing the boot.img and recovery.img required as part of flashing the rom?

Uploaded for my safekeeping only. If I need them later.

 

[Rimmir]

thank you for your fast replies

 

[Snuzzo]

thank you for your fast replies

I have a decently sized update coming in the next build. See if you like the ROM in it's current state. The next build there is going to be some changes that could effect the user base of the ROM itself. If you don't like dt2w, flash kernel v1.6.1 as its disabled by defaulted.
