Tried other keyboards and also google pin Yin IME but still don't work. Don't think it is just the keyboard. The rom can't display Chinese character for Chinese based apps too.

Sendust you are a great developer, and you may not receive all the glory of the kernel devs, but you are cut of the same cloth as them, and are an equally fantastic developer. We are glad to still have you developing for the Atrix, and your contributions are always welcomed, and supported.
I will try out your ROM in a minute and report back. Thanks.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

 

[gradd]

wow! thank you. at epinters cm10 that's always my problem. i need to delete most system apps first so i can integrate almost 30mb swype keyboard. glad to have a minimalist cm10 rom. :laugh:

I know I probably shouldn't ask but...

Linux On Android / Loop Device Support

on another note, the lapdock works quite well ( tablet mode )... not sure about the resolution though, anyone know how to check and/or increase it?

@sendust7 it seems there is no loop device support in the kernel, would you consider incorporating it? would love to get linux-on-android running

Hi there… I have Linux-on-Android working with SuperLite, though VNC Viewer did kick me out the first time, lol.

Here’s my listing of loop devices (note esp. /dev/block/loop255):

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
su
[email protected]:/ # cd /dev/block
cd /dev/block
[email protected]:/dev/block # ls -ld loop*
ls -ld loop*
brw------- root root 7, 0 2013-03-11 17:37 loop0
brw------- root root 7, 1 2013-03-11 17:37 loop1
brw------- root root 7, 2 2013-03-11 17:37 loop2
brw------- root root 7, 255 2013-03-11 17:50 loop255
brw------- root root 7, 3 2013-03-11 17:37 loop3
brw------- root root 7, 4 2013-03-11 17:37 loop4
brw------- root root 7, 5 2013-03-11 17:37 loop5
brw------- root root 7, 6 2013-03-11 17:37 loop6
brw------- root root 7, 7 2013-03-11 17:37 loop7
[email protected]:/dev/block #

And here’s the loop device setup and Ubuntu image mount code from /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/[auto]bootscript.sh :

###########################################
# Set up loop device and mount image #
###########################################
echo -n "Checking loop device... "
if [ -b /dev/block/loop255 ]; then
echo "FOUND"
else
echo "MISSING"
# Loop device not found so we create it and verify it was actually created
echo -n "Creating loop device... "
$bbox mknod /dev/block/loop255 b 7 255
if [ -b /dev/block/loop255 ]; then
echo "OK"
else
echo "FAILED"
error_exit "Unable to create loop device!"
fi
fi

$bbox losetup /dev/block/loop255 $imgfile
if [ $? -ne 0 ];then error_exit "Unable to attach image to loop device! (Image = $imgfile)"; fi

I believe that to fully render the Ubuntu desktop you have to be running ICS which has the needed graphics acceleration (at the expense of increased battery drain).

Anyway, I would try again and look for this message on Terminal Emulator after launching Linux on Android with a valid Ubuntu image:

"If you see the message 'New 'X' Desktop is localhost:0' then you are ready to VNC into your ubuntu OS.."

Hope this helps

And what about battery life?

Is it really better than Epinter`s?

Re: [ROM] CM10 4.1.2 SuperLite for Atrix 4g! [08 Mar 2013]

I am already downloading the rom, but I have 2 others questions, if u guys could help me:

1) Does it have portuguese language support?

2) If not, can I flash CM 10 epinter gapps instead? (Since it has portuguese support)

Thanks a lot!

Airplane Mode and Battery Life

And what about battery life?

Is it really better than Epinter`s?

Enviado do meu MB860

I expect that since SuperLite uses epinter's boot image (and hence the same kernel), battery life would be about the same as that of epinter's CM10.

Have you tried using airplane mode during times of expected non-use? Settings > Data usage > More ... > Wireless & networks > Airplane mode (checkbox)

I did this the past two nights with great results. Here's an example with mild use at bedtime and in the morning (note airplane icon just left of battery icon):



My understanding is that in airplane mode, you can't make/receive calls or texts. But even in SuperLite's airplane mode, I am still able to turn wifi back on for internet surfing, gmail, etc.

Answers:

1) SuperLite was originally designed to be lightweight and as such does not include many features, including multi-language support. The concept here is similar to Neutrino CM7 and others featuring lightweight but highly customizable ROMs.

2) If you have some experience with ADB and the Unix "mount" command, you can get away with just pushing the multi-language version of "LatinIME.apk" (27MB unpacked) to your /system/app directory --- with system mounted rw (read/write). If not, you can try flashing epinter's GApps or flash SuperLite GApps and download a good multi-language keyboard, e.g. MultiLing by Honso,

In any case, you probably have to reboot to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik to re-stabilize your system.

@sendust7 : got it! thanks man!

I have the same grey screen with the Ubuntu 1204 images but the 1010 & Debian images render the desktop fine with both gnome and LXDE.

I can second your findings with airplane mode. I have no signal at home and switch to airplane mode + WiFi every night with epinters CM10/10.1. makes a huge difference to battery usage over night.

 

[scottharris4]

is there any reason for me to flash this instead of sticking with epinter's version?

If you want something closer to turnkey operation, there are several great CM10 offerings among epinter, MROM, Th3Bill and other devs, builders and portmasters.

But if you want things like...

• Fast install, boot, backup, restore
• Fast turnaround time for experimentation
• More headroom in your system partition for "stay-resident" apps
• Plenty of open real estate on your home and apps screens

and you don't mind flashing addons, consider going with lightweights such as SuperLite, Neutrino CM7 etc.

One of my near-term goals is to develop a menu-based SuperLite addon installer similar to what I did for Neutrino V2.9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33615623&postcount=9509

Hey sandust7,
First I wanted to thank you for this rom, it is good to see that there are new devs for the atrix.
No for the rom, I've just flashed it, and I must say that I am impressed! It is really snappy and fast, and the scrolling feels really smooth (almost like my Nexus 7 ).
I have, though, flashed the regular CM gapps, since I need most of them, and some are missing in my country's play store. Another thing, I saw you took out many languages from the rom, to minimize its size, but I need Hebrew. Could you tell me how to put it back, or do you have the possibility to make a separate zip file that lets you add additional languages. In this way you do not increase the rom zip file unneccesarly, but provides an easy way for for non-english speakers to add their desired languages.
Many thanx

Hi there, and thanks for the nice compliments.

I have just developed a SuperLite Addons flashable zip based on most of the offerings presented here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886009 under BUILD YOUR OWN ROM.

GApps will be included, though I haven't yet decided on Lite or Full.

Testing is underway, and I will probably release SuperLite Addons early next week, if not before.

Best.

sendust7,
Y O U A R E T H E M A N ! ! ! ! !
Thank you very much for this great rom, and more then tat for you super fast reply and fix.
Now this rom is perfect. I have ran it since yesterday and I couldn't be happier :good::laugh:
I did look for a 4.1 rom to go to, ever since I replaced the Epinter's CM10 due to random reboots every now and then. I really couldnwt stand anymore the GB roms (Though MROM was a great 2.3 rom, but I had the random reboots with it as well ).
Your rom is very slick and snappy, and for now it looks like a battery conservator, and I had no random reboots until now (Knock on wood ).
Great job mate,
:cyclops:

 

[PAUSEV]

Thanks your job :good:

 

[imarmand]

Thanks for your work! I will give this a try!:good:

 

[max_avatar]

very good rom, very smooth! I have one doubt. Is there any way to play videos smoothly, because they lock too. Sorry if already asked. And sorry for my English. thanks
