[ROM+KERNEL 3.4.62][AOSP][4.3][JWR66Y+JSS15Q Hybrid] SiMa-Rom (Simple Mako) no more freezes Build 2013-09-24

This is SiMaRom - Simple Mako Rom

I started with some customizations of RasSaber from rascarlo and sparksco for myself to learn how to build and customize android systems, working with git etc.
After rascarlo and sparksco decided to take a brake I published my "Customized RasSaber" and enhanced it quite a bit.

Then JellyBean 4.3 hit the floor and I decided to start from the scratch with an AOSP ROM and tweak it exactly the way I want JellyBean to be.

And this is SiMaRom.

What do we have now:
  • Build from AOSP Sourcetree (Hybrid JWR66Y +JSS15Q)
  • Enhanced Powermenu (Reboot Options, Screenshot etc.)
  • "Clear All" Button in "Recent Apps"-Window
  • Internal Tweaks and optimizations
  • Exposed Build-Date in "About phone"
  • 180° Rotation, see Settings->Display->enable full 180 degrees rotation
  • Busybox build in
  • koush's superuser build in
  • Battery percent
  • PSX-PureSpeed Dalvik and Skia version for optimal performance
  • Own kernel forked from aosp kernel and added franco's gammacontrol and Userspace-CPU-Voltage-Control
  • The kernel as a standalone Package to use it also on other JWR66 Roms (PSX-Pure Speed etc.)


I will take suggestions for additional options / functions but I will only implement what I like and use, so be prepared to take a "no sorry" :angel:

Installation:

  1.  full wipe if coming from a different rom, else skip this step
  2. if not a fullwipe I recommend a wipe cache/dalvik cache
  3. flash zip
  4. flash gapps-package of your liking (I currently use Banks one)
  5. Enjoy the ROM
Thanks:
  • sparksco for rassaber, helping me endless counts, supporting my affords and giving me hints
  • rascarlo for rasbeanjelly, rassaber and a big amount of tips and the "rasta feeling" ;)
  • jarjar124 for his version of android 4.3, I picked some of his commits regarding build tweaks, saved me quite some time
  • ctfrommn for the tweaks in PSX-PureSpeed
  • morfic,franciscofranco,faux123,showp1984 and Stratos Karafotis for there wonderfull kernels where I got some commits from :cool:
Also I want to thank Cyanogenmod-Team, the PA Team and also the AOKP Team for all their work, because we all take our profit from that.

Also the newest Kernel Versions are there :cool:

I could be wrong but I think this is a problem, currently every 4.3 ROM has.
As far as I can remember you have to install the keyboard from the playstore.

But will have a look into it :cyclops:

I believe any 4.3 ROM based on JSS15J AOSP has this problem. The ROMs based on Android 4.3 JWR66V factory image don't have this problem.

What Gapps did you flash? Try DroidTheory or Banks! I initially had same problem with Banks so I tried DroidTheory and it works for me now.

He martin, nice to see you already on 4.3. Loved your 4.2 2-rom. Is anything planned with navbar? Like changing the order of position the icons or the quantity?
Thanks a lot
Matthias
