[ROM DISCONTINUED][27-06-2013] AOSP - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - Build 16

[cn.fyodor]

Hi, there

I'm from Andromadus Team (My Github), mainly maintaining the kernel repo and the qcom/display HAL. The source will be regularly sync-ed to my github, please feel free to fork or send pull request or build your own ROM manually. Go check out this page to start off.


Note: My Desire Z has been given to my friend, so I have no chance to flash/test the build 16. If there are no stupid things I did in this build, it should be the last one I can do for you. Also I hope someone can continue to maintain and build AOSP ROMs for this lovely QWERTY device. Thank you for your support.

Awesome, trying this on my Vision

 

[btrst]

didnt try much multitasking, but seems about same with games.

also gets lower score on antutu.

camera focus button fixed tho. in flinnys build, it didnt focus when half pressed. btw i didnt have the issue of camera app dissapearing from drawer. it was there.

thanks for the rom.

 

[adamz667]

Rom seems to be little bit faster on some operations than Flinny's one (e.g. app drawer scrolling between pages is smoother, without stutters). But maybe it's placebo. Phone app launch is delayed about 5 sec (or more) when other apps are running in background (e.g. Google Play).

Edit: And sound was muted after first boot.

 

[imanoob]

That Maybe the VSync tweaks I think they may make the rom seem faster even if it isn't as indicated by benchmarks. Also could you post screenshots of the benchmarks from both roms so we can see which areas the difference is in so that what ever the differences are can be consolidated giving an overall faster rom, which I think is fyodor's goal here.

Did you factory reset before flashing? I did it twice and still could not get the camera icon back. Hmm, a bit weird.

Never run into this muted issue in AOSP ROM. Could you reproduce the phone app delay problem or does it come up ramdonly?

Nope, that's not my goal. VSYNC will probably boost the smoothness but not the speed, so I don't think Antutu can prove this kind of difference. But I'm sure Andromadus will enable VSYNC finally since the display driver from CodeAurora is getting complete these days.

 

[catachresistant]

Slightly unrelated, but are we lkely to see vsync back-ported to Andromadus' 4.1 build?

 

[geokuttan]

miss cyanogen notification...but this rom is super smooth,,,havent tried gmaps yet..

 

[imanoob]

Oh well I guess I should have asked instead of assuming. Yea I think benchmarks miss a lot when it comes down to usability which can only be assessed by actually trying the rom.

Sound comes back after first volume change.

It looks like that Phone app delay comes up randomly or after launch of few heavy apps, I can't reproduce that right now. But it looks like if there is more apps in background to kill - to free memory for phone app, than phone app launch delay is bigger.

Wow, this rom definitely flies. In terms of smoothness (scrolling, animations, etc.) it's slighty smoother than Andromadus cM10, but multitasking, launching apps, switching apps is miles better (even close to GB level, which is impressive for an ICS/JB rom)
Thanks for this awesome rom, keep up the good work!

Nope, it's at 368-1200 interactive, but I was running andromadus at 1.5 GHz and didn't get this kind of speed.

Ps i do have the camera icon in the launcher

I have to agree with yozgatg. This has been the snappiest 4.x rom as far as I'm concerned.

 

[patek]

really fast, I like it
my only problem until now, how to configure the search key to work inside the applications, not to start the Google search

 

[zofox]

G apps are Already included?

Basically a well-designed application should contain a search button on the GUI if there are some database to search.

Nope, it's just AOSP build. You can flash the gapps by yourself. Currently I haven't included the backup.sh in this ROM to backup gapps before flashing/updating. Will do that in next builds.


PS, hmm, why you guys could get the camera icon in app drawer, but only not me? Interesting. xD

I remember in the beginning it had to do something with the gapps. just check to make sure you have the gapps for 4.1.2. and not 4.1.1

 

[zofox]

The one from andromadeus team works?

i take it the performance options are not on the AOSP roms? cant find 'em!

edit: can't connect phone to computer as USB storage... this is fun. :-/

edit: and I can't access my SD card using airdroid, but it's shown in file manager... this is not fun anymore.
