[ROM] Buttered Flo AOKP 4.3.1 [+Aroma] [2013-10-23]

General Information:
This is my continuation of doing AOKP PUB Builds just adapted for the Nexus 7 Flo. PUB (Project Unicorn Butter) aimed to bring Linaro toolchain and other optimizations to the normal AOKP build. My goal is to simply continue these builds providing releases based off current code. Current builds are using the latest (2013.09) release of the 4.8 Toolchain. Builds using O3, strict-aliasing, and other optimizations where applicable.

Releases:
The target will be weekly builds on the weekend with a build during the week only where needed for bug fixes to be merged or some major change we just can't wait for
There are two Release Types

TYPE 1 is your traditional ROM Flashable zip.
You must flash gapps after flashing this ROM as it can not be included in the ROM zip.
Current Gapps: gapps-jb-20130813
Slim Gapps(needed for full Dark UI functionality): Slim Gapps 4.3 Downloads​

TYPE 2 is an Aroma Installer that includes the ROM, latest gapps, and many other options. See Post 2 below for further details.​

More than likely any middle of the week builds will not get rolled into the Aroma.

Kernel:
I am currently building the flo kernel from aokp google/msm source (stock). It is the kernel that will be installed if you just flash this as is. This is a perfectly fine daily driver, should be stable and safe across all devices.
If you are looking for better battery life, better performance during gaming, or even just more control over various settings at the kernel level then feel free to try one of the other great kernels offered for this device. I will not recommend one, I will recommend you try them all and see which works best for you.

Installation:

1. Download rom zip and gapps
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Wipe cache/dalvik (full wipe when needed)
4. Flash rom
5. Flash gapps
6. Reboot

Buttered Flo Aroma -- v3.2 :: :: Main Download ::


Changelog:

[B]v3.2 Changes[/B]
<*>Includes buttered_flo_2013-10-23 ROM
<*>Updated faux kernel to 007_r2
<*>Updated glitch kernel to 20131016-r10

[B]v3.1 Changes[/B]
<*>Includes buttered_flo_2013-10-12 ROM

Optional Inverts:

You can get inverted applications in multiple ways. First I'd recommend going to System Settings and flipping the switch for Dark AOKP.
This will invert many of the core Gapps for you. For any other applications you may want inverted, there are two great threads that will make this trivial for you:

1. Midnight Gapps Project
2. Team BlackOut

Thanks:
- faux123 for his kernel included in this aroma.
- Tk-Glitch for his kernel included in this aroma.
- amarullz for aroma itself and the continued updates
- the great boot animations by thor6577, be sure to check his thread for more!

Thanks, downloading, will report back when flashed.

Update: Really stable so far, and smooth, gonna try the Aroma one later, thanks!

:good: Thanks, i'm waiting for Aroma Link, It still not up yet i think. :good:

Finally, and it's nice too see the kernel built from aosp which means no cm drama recently.

Unfortunately it also breaks the compatibility with custom kernels like latest cm nightlies did, blue screen on boot.

Loved this ROM on my Grouper. Pumped to see it come over to Flo!

This sounds great. going to have to try it. I will assume that the posted build has the broken user profiles as this has been broken in AOKP source(at least on flo but maybe other devices) since Sep 29th. I will wait until this issue is fixed in AOKP source before trying this rom as i need user profiles.

Psyched that you finally made it over here Mr. R! :good:

Can't wait to give this beast a go. Only thing left is for Morfic to bring his uberness to the kernel world for Flo/Deb.

It's been a while since I've seen you in the S3 section, nice to see you here as well. If we are already on another AOKP rom do you think we could dirty-flash this or is it different enough that we should do a full wipe?

 

[acdcking12345]

the Aroma download link doesnt work.

I dirty flashed from stock and had a process.acore.whatever keep crashing. I cleared contacts storage data/cache and force stopped it and haven't seen it since. Should be fine but if you see weird issues don't post them here until you try a clean flash, that's all I ask.

Yes I know. Working on it. Just a placeholder.

Ok, sorry about that. I guess it's too early for me.

I don't really play with user profiles so not sure exactly what is "broken". However clicking on users did give me the process.acore has stopped message and clearing contacts storage data and cache made that go away. I can create a user profile just fine in my quick little test.

Seems to be a fix in their gerrit or at least an attempt to address. I'll include it next time and try it out.

Any chance of seeing a "OneAromaToBindThem" for Flo, with all of the Aroma goodies but without the AOKP ROM itself? Loved having this toolbox for flashing various ROMs on my Grouper. (Yes, I know I could just download the full Aroma, but space is at a premium on my internal storage.)

ugh... so many things to maintain... And since I'll no longer include inverts there would really just be kernels and apps right?
I feel like its a waste to have the inverts as the thread I link to in the OP keeps them updated and honestly once TRDS got good I rarely even flash another inverted app now. Is there something else you used it for that I'm missing?
