F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the difference between these builds and the official builds?

These are unofficial builds of AOSPA Legacy for the v500/LG G Pad.
ROM is built using the same source code (github) like the official one but with these following additions:

• Compiled using linaro arm-eabi 4.7.4 14.04 (kernel code) & sabermod arm-linux-androideabi 4.8.3 14.05 (rom code) toolchain compilers
• May contain some custom cherry-picks. Always see changelog for details.
• Cross-compiled using those custom toolchains results in a more smoother, faster, and battery friendly ROM

What is Toolchain?

In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.
A simple software development toolchain consists of a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system, and a debugger. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.

What is SaberMod?

The term "SaberMod" is coming from:

SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124 . Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.

What is Linaro?

Linaro is the place where engineers from the world's leading technology companies define the future of Linux on ARM. The company is a not-for-profit engineering organization with over 120 engineers working on consolidating and optimizing open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain, the Linux kernel, ARM power management, graphics and multimedia interfaces.

About GCC main compiler cflags

-O1
Optimize. Optimizing compilation takes somewhat more time, and a lot more memory for a large function. With -O, the compiler tries to reduce code size and execution time, without performing any optimizations that take a great deal of compilation time.

-O2
Optimize even more. GCC performs nearly all supported optimizations that do not involve a space-speed tradeoff. As compared to -O, this option increases both compilation time and the performance of the generated code. -O2 turns on all optimization flags specified by -O.

-O3
Optimize yet more. -O3 turns on all optimizations specified by -O2 and also turns on the -finline-functions, -funswitch-loops, -fpredictive-commoning, -fgcse-after-reload, -ftree-loop-vectorize, -ftree-slp-vectorize, -fvect-cost-model, -ftree-partial-pre and -fipa-cp-clone options.

-Os
Optimize for size. -Os enables all -O2 optimizations that do not typically increase code size. It also performs further optimizations designed to reduce code size.

Could it be that hover is missing?
just flashed the newest rom and can't find it.

source code from aospa legacy github is untouched. i just optimize and cross-compile the code with custom toolchains...

only thing i see related maybe is: settings -> display -> notifications -> notifications peek

maybe is not available to "legacy" devices, only nexus. try asking on the G+ community.

regards.

Nice !!
Thanks for your work man.

I have a slight issue though, I need to unmount my sdcard but I can't find the option in the "Storage" menu of the parameters where it used to be. Any suggestion ? (I search but could find anything)

Thanks !

<EDIT>
The "umount /storage/sdcard1" does unmount the sdcard but not as the option in the Paramaters/storage menu did.
My goal is to use AParted to make 2 ext4 partitions on the SDcard to use with Mount2SD and to have 80Gb of storage. Unfortunately, AParted asked me to unmount it even when unmounted.
So way around might be with a SD adaptator and a linux computer but I still wonder where this option of the storage menu went ???

I am facing issue while increasing volume over safe headset level. When I click on OK button my tab reboots.. Anyone else? @infected_

Going to try it!!

EDIT:
Back to CM for me...this rom was not smooth, and OS would 'cut out' at weird times for no reason, and only show a banner that said ("Sorry, rom (or OS) stopped working") - but all would seem OK, and functions worked just fine. This only happened when making some setting change, if I recall correctly. Hover did work - (whatever that does as I never got to use it but it showed it activated)

Frankly, IMO, it had nothing better, or newer than CM.

I have never faced issues mentioned by you. The only issue I faced so far is the reboot when you click on safe volume popup. Try SlimKat.. Its a good ROM. I am not a big fan of cm. But its just a personal opinion.

seems RC2 its on is way...

/mnt/Building/aospa/out/target/product/v500/pa_v500-4.4-RC2-20140617.zip

well.. at least the name tag is already there...

but i'll wait official announcement. more commits can be merged before release.

[dialmformostyn]

After a brief test this is very, very smooth. Thank you.

 

[dzzaaa]
