[ROM][CM10][EXPERIMENTAL] CyanogenMod like you've never seen before!

[adfad666]

This thread and ROM hasn't been updated for a long time so it's locked, for reference only.

You may have noticed I've been rather quiet recently. I've been spending my time trying to get Firefox-OS working. It's based on Android's HAL so it should work, but currently the Mozilla part is still not compatible with ARMv6 devices. Nothing I try will get it to boot.

However going through the build files, I came across some files that are quite different to CyanogenMod, potentially we may have been creating inferior builds since even the Gingerbread days!!!

So, I took a break and set to work to create a new build of Jellybean. We know that Jellybean is a bit of a beast so any improvements should be easily noticeable. I based my work on the recently announced jellybean-stable branch.

So I flashed my new ROM and... It's lightening fast!

BIG WARNING: It's lightening fast compared to the ROM I just flashed over BUT I built that ROM at the end of August, two and a half months ago. I don't know if the performance improvement is due to the changes I made, or if it's due to changes that Rashed has made along with changes to CyanogenMod in general.

If someone could try the ROM and tell me if they also think it's faster, or if I've simply caught up with Rashed and my changes to the build system didn't do anything.

Below is a link to the raw ROM that i built:

cm-10-20121114-UNOFFICIAL-p500.zip

Below is the ROM I flashed to my phone. It's based on the ROM above except with some changes (see Post 2):

Files Removed:

Calendar.apk
Email.apk
Exchange2.apk
Gallery2.apk
QuickSearchBox.apk

Files Added:

EmailGoogle.apk
Exchange2Google.apk
GalleryGoogle.apk
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
LegacyCamera.apk
My Minimal JB GAPPS

• GalleryGoogle (from ICS) replaces Gallery2 because I want my Google+ photos in my gallery.
• LegacyCamera is added as the Camera is part of Gallery2 in JB.
• Calendar removed as it's now available from the Play Store.
• Email, Exchange, and QuickSearchBox are replaced with their Google enhanced counterparts.

The GAPPS I included are optimized for ease of use. I didn't include anything for voice search etc.
Eventually I'll release them as two separate packages since we know it's naughty to release a rom with GAPPS inside...

Also I didn't include some lib***.so files from GAPPS, as they seem related to functions our phones cannot do.
If you flash my modified ROM, please test as much as you can and let me know if anything that usually works is now broken. The files are as follows:

libfilterpack_facedetect.so
libflint_engine_jni_api.so
libfrsdk.so
libgcomm_jni.so
libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so
libpatts_engine_jni_api.so
libpicowrapper.so
libspeexwrapper.so
libvideochat_jni.so
libvideochat_stabilize.so
libvoicesearch.so
libvorbisencoder.so

Welcome back Adam! Great news for us!

 

[manast]

Just did a clean format to install Oxygen ICS a couple of hours back but you Adam, your ROM is too hard to resist.

Downloaded and flashed. Yes, it is really fast.

Issues so far:

- Getting a FC on Google Text to Speech Engine. Not much of an issue though.

 

[TheRedHunter]

I will try the roms and edit this post soon.

Edit: very smooth indeed.

So glad to see you're back Adam. I haven't been playing with this rom for very long, but it's stupid fast. It unlocks instantly, everything is so smooth. In my opinion, it's a fair bit faster than rashed's latest rom. Great work like always.

I did full wipe and got "symlink: some symlinks failed E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10........zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.

Any Idea why?

Which one did you flash? I didn't test the unofficial ROM but I used the adfad666 rom. Perhaps it was a bad download?

 

[mario_fe]

Great work i'll test it!!! Thanks tiger

[DJBhardwaj]

Its good to see an active development thread from you, again. Good work

 

[zeratos]

While it's indeed faster that Rashed's ROM it still has all the same problems, the stock camera force closes, panorama and video doesn't work on other cameras, mic not working on third party apps, battery drains left and right and the worse of all.... still no navigation bar ;- ;

 

[YowPa]

Only 4% battery usage over night (7 hours). Thats awesome... Check SC

Welcome back Adam! Yes P500 is not as interesting as Nexus7.

Definatly faster. Battery lasts okay in sleep, but the moment you start using the device, it drops fast. Adam if you can fix the camera and solve the screen battery drain, you have a winner here :good:

 

[raj_k_r]

Thank You for coming back. I can definitely say that P500 is not dead yet with you, bytecode, popdog and rashed still on it.
