[ROM] LinaroDroid | 4.4.3.2.1 | OPENMASTER | Hammerhead | Nightlies

[helicopter88]

I take no responsability if your phone crashes,burns,explodes,kills your daughter/son/pet/wife or starts a thermonuclear war, when using my ROM,I try to do my best to keep things safe,but one never knows

So,here it is
A really close to AOSP experience with Linaro,AOSP Openmaster,CodeAuroraForum[Qualcomm guys] optimizations
Built from Linaro KitKat sources,with their special ARM optimized toolchain,
With load of optimizations in a wide variety of projects(and more are to come)
Compiled with Google's Kernel for MSM(planning to switch to a custom kernel with more and more optimizations) to have a perfectly working build and very stable.
Includes ART fixes to allow the usage of previously incompatible apps at install time,however there are some apps which require calls to dalvik specific code(e.g. Titanium Backup which will continue to not work and there's not much I can do till developers update their code)
ROM comes without gapps(obviously),feel free to download the ones you like most.

Install instructions for EXT4:
Reboot to recovery
Make a backup
Flash my rom
Flash gapps if you want
Reboot and enjoy
If rom gets stuck at boot(or crashes without a reason),
Reboot to recovery(hint: hold power button for 10 seconds and phone will reboot)
Do a factory reset
Reboot and enjoy

Install instructions for F2FS:
Nothing to see here,yet.

Download:
Beta 1.0

Nightlies:

For more infos go to linaro site

I plan to build builds almost daily(Only if there are relevant changes and if I have time to build)
I accept any feature request,both for rom and kernel(and I'm open to switch to any kernel you might want,as long as a majority requests it)

Source code
Source code which isn't 100% linaro will be on LinaroDroid github account
Kernel source code is in here [URL="https://github.com/LinaroDroid/android_kernel_lge_hammerhead/tree/kk4.4"]LinaroDroid kernel/lge/hammerhead

Kang at will and feel free to comment submit pull requests

Scheduled features:

Navbar customization - WIP

I am currently seeking for contributors to the project,anyone is free to commit features and port this to any other device

Just to make building supereasy,I made something quick for you
assuming you are running linux,just run this

curl https://raw.github.com/helicopter88/linaro_scripts/kk4.4/builder.sh && chmod a+x builder.sh && source builder.sh

This will set up the environment and start a build(I did exclude vendor blobs as you might prefer to get 'em from your phone)

Downloading!

If you have any problem with boot,do a factory reset,and make sure it really reset your data

I am a big fan of linaro optimization. looking forward to this rom. so now pretty no additional features right?

It's basically AOSP + Optimizations
I can merge things(be it settings,features,other optimizations,removal of things) from other repos and kernels,if you want

Is this KRT16S?

 

[helicopter88]

KRT16O

 

[davwman]

Settings force close.

Settings force close.

You should provide a log to help the dev out :good:

If I may ask, what is your philosophy with this ROM? Since you take all feature requests, do you intend on it branching far from the AOSP experience over time with heavy features? Or are you shooting for a simple and stable linaro optimized AOSP build? Only reason I ask is that I am extremely interested in the latter and would probably make this my daily driver :good: Either way, thanks for bringing this to us!!

::EDIT::
By the way, if you are looking for a custom kernel, might I recommend giving a shout to the maker of Bricked kernel. His kernel has linaro optimizations as well and is stable as hell.

 

[davwman]

You don't say...I'm at work. Flashed on a break, reverted to my backup so I'd have use of a phone.

 

[helicopter88]

Another tester (and me) had no issues with settings.. Tried WiFi,bluetooth and more..
Did you do a factory reset?

Already fixed the issue. Cleaning up the files I normally pull out of zips I deleted NFC. Problem solved. Also running with the linaro Franco and moto dalvik patches!

Since Linaro usually sticks to AOSP and just optimizes,most of the users would find 0 reasons to switch over from stock to this,instead,by adding some features(not the heavily bloated ones) I want to give you more reasons to try this..
Due to the speed of this phone on stock,I really doubt I can increase in any way its speed to be really noticeable
I will check kernels tomorrow after doing something interesting to the build(hint: https://lwn.net/Articles/518718/ )

This is with Franco linaro and moto x dalvik patch

 

[Zhypr]

Includes ART fixes to allow the usage of previously incompatible apps.

How does this work? And can it run any app?

 

[Nickamina]

This is with Franco linaro and moto x dalvik patch

moto x dalvik patch? Edit: Found -
"It is the dalvik optimization from MotoX it is being tested as of now for Nexus 5."

That's the one. This ROM is very quick and extremely light with no additional garbage added. Just the way I like it.
