What is NamelessROM?

NamelessROM Gerrit Review

What is NamelessROM ?
Simple - NamelessROM is opportunity.
An opportunity to have a voice to the development team of the after-market firmware that you run on your device.

The main goal of NamelessROM is to provide quality development for android devices, phones and tablets alike.
NamelessROM developers are available nearly 24/7 and respond to bug reports and feature requests almost instantly.
This availability will allow you, the end-user, to have direct input into exactly what features and functions are included on the firmware that YOU run.

NamelessROM maintains features and functions of several well-known open-source, AOSP-based ROMs, as well as many features of our own.
See the screenshots in the 3rd post, and visit our website for more detailed information.

NamelessROM = endless possibilities. Unless you have an iPhone, then you're out of luck.

ANNOUNCEMENT: We are looking for Device Maintainers to expand our support, please visit our IRC channel or PM @Evisceration, or @jumoog for information.

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

If stopped, press ">" to start logging

HomeMade ROM specific changelog

September 29th 2014

V1.16

Latest Nameless & CM changes

Older changelog in post#4

About the kernel

The current HOMEMADE version uses the kernel provided by twa_priv.
The NIGHTLY builds still use the kernel provided by kasper_h. The V1.09 build is a test if the new kernel shows advantages over Mackay kernel.
This ROM features the Mackay kernel (it is a kernel named ICS_2014, because kasper_h worked on this kernel for stock ICS and CM9 as well).
The zram code has been optimized (based on google advice for low-RAM devices) and is enabled by default.
kasper_h also improved the OC code and changed voltages.

Additional credits

all donors that helped me to continue development on this device
twa_priv for the kernel
kasper_h for the base code and the help to compile this ROM
Nameless team members for the source code
AAccount for his help to kasper_h along the way to get KK4.4 to compile for our aging device!
pershoot for the basis for the device trees & kernel base

Problems & tips for performance

What does NOT work?

There are graphical glitches.
Although they mainly have been solved there seem to be some remaining issues with hwcomposer that may crash the tab.
HD movies (in e.g. youtube) may stutter

Smoothness advice:

Go to performance settings:
Overclock CPU (Do this at your own risk!)
Keep governor on Interactive
Set minimum speed to 400MHz (credits for this tip goto Jaegermeiste)

Go to developer settings:
Activate "Force GPU rendering"
Active "Disble HW-overlays"
Set background process limit to 4 processes

(if performance/developer options are not yet shown, go to settings>about and press build number 7 times)

-> Thanks to all forum members contributing to this list
-> Do it at your own risk!
-> Don't complain about limited battery life (ROW+interactive+1000MHz leads to better battery life for sure)

Some other tips:

For improvement of sound quality, you can use Viper4Android
For more volume only, SpeakerBoost is earier to use
~~For netflix, head over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49208063&postcount=445~~
To be able to use Flash player, use a browser that doesn't use the kitkat browser engine (e.g. firefox can be used).
Download flash player from adobe website (thanks to AAccount for finding out!).
If you can't see your internal SD on PC: Go to Settings -> Storage -> 3 dot menu -> tick MTP.
If Google Voice Search crashes: Under the Google now settings select voice options and tick the box next to Bluetooth headset. This will prevent Google now from crashing. (credits to Olivier V)

Disclaimer:

I was compiling several ROMs for Samsung Galaxy devices.
With KitKat coming up I was able to maintain my ROMs for the S4, but was not successful with a ROM for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500).

Thanks to the incredible support of kasper_h I was able to take over his work and create this KitKat ROM for the tablet!
Unfortunately he discontinued the work on this ROM because he will move on to a more advanced tablet.
I wish him great success with his new tablet and want to thank for his work for the 10.1 tablet!
With kasper_h agreement I take over and will maintain future updates of this ROM.

Want to build the ROM by yourself?

You can build the ROM complete with the NamelessROM sources.
Just get the sources from GitHub.
If you want to build the ROM with my experimental extensions then you need to use some of my repos:
Settings
Android framework
Common p4 device tree
and depending of the tablet you want to build for;
For P4
Device tree p4
Vendor blobs p4
For P4wifi
Device tree p4wifi
Vendor blobs p4wifi
Just follow my short tutorial on my homepage how to do it,

Wow how cool to see someone taking over.
Was afraid our tab was doomed with Kasper buying a new one ( wich I can totally understand offcourse)

Going to try it!!

Great to see our tab still gets some love

DefQoN_BE · Apr 13, 2014 at 9:57 PM

Welcome back beegee, you cannot believe how much i appreciate it that you take over this amazing ROM from Kasper, for a second i thought that the development for this tab was dead, i like the latest features and was looking for a new tab, or at least... Dreaming of... ( because of some money issues i'm not able to buy a new tablet at the moment)
I really appreciate it, thank you

This is great news! I only just started using this ROM a few days ago and I love it. Okay, it still isn't as smooth as my nexus 7 2013, but this ROM is very promising and I'm glad someone took over where kasper_h left off :thumbup:

Great news...

Technical · Apr 14, 2014 at 1:19 AM

BeeGee, good to be with you again. I was "moved" to Kasper due to the lack of CM features.
I've followed him from PAC, Omni and recently with Nameless.
Great work :angel:

John Kester · Apr 14, 2014 at 1:43 AM

Bee_Gee

Thanks for picking up from Kasper.

I have installed over Kasper's 23rd build and so far no problems. Will report if I encounter any.

Cheers.
