The fix gets rid of most of the black text issues (e.g. Pandora, Play Store), but I'm still experiencing them when I receive files using bluetooth and downloading files using Boat Browser.

Thanks Guys, totally forgot about that, I just updated the VII update to include this, also it's correct that you can also just flash the zip from the post mentioned above with no adverse effects.

MrBobo · November 27th, 2012, 08:56 AM

for anyone who is interested, I updated my personal bloatware zip in post three.

for those who are new to the concept, I keep a zip of the apps I install after I flash a ROM, some users were interested in what I install on my phone, it's not much but some good stuff there.

MrBobo · November 27th, 2012, 03:19 PM

Added a full n00b VII for any newcomers so they can flash from stock straight to VII.

(no new updates since VII update zip for those who have already flashed VII)

Is it the same as the one for VI?

Yes, it hasn't changed since the update I made for VI, it's now included in both VII Full and VII Update in post one.

MrBobo have you considered working with the B07 base rom from public mobile??? Supposedly this one has a working wifi tether! Do you know if there is any truth to that claim? Sorry if this steers the thread in a new direction....

We already stole the flashlight fix from that build, so yes I am looking at it. The wifi tether is the ONLY feature I have heard of so far in that ROM that we don't have working on this side, I don't see a compelling reason to bring that build over to Boost and base ROMS on it just to get that one feature since we on this side can use apps to do tethering. I am interested in digging in and seeing why it works, whether it's purely kernel/ramdisk related or something else but honestly it's just not a huge deal to me.

I have thought about going the other way though, starting with the PM base and creating a n00b ROM over there, the issue trying to do that is the extra time/effort it would take since I don't live in canada and can't test everything before putting it out.

I disagree that that build is newer, I think it's probably just opened up a bit more due to the carrier, they also have roaming for example where we don't on Boost. There are carrier specific requirements that were built into each version of the code base.

A very interesting exercise that I haven't tried yet is to do a file comparison between the PM B07 and Boost B07.

At the end of the day I kept n00b on B08c because that's the most up to date software for Boost (I went back to stock using the handset update tool from zte yesterday and that's still the version they are pushing). I don't think we have any real issues to speak of now that we have worked with it for over a year now.

I think for android 2.3.5 we are doing about as good as we can until we either see an update to 2.3.6, ICS or JB (be it from Boost (not likely) or from the devs). Until then I think staying with this version is a good idea. B08/B07 differences are very minor as far as I can see and the PM/Boost differences are also pretty minor and carrier specific.

sorry for the long post, I have thought about it. If people want to have a discussion further, please start a new thread on the topic

Mathis436 · November 27th, 2012, 07:12 PM

Still an awesome rom none the less! Thanks for answering my questions. You are truly a gem when: it comes to devs around the scene! Again thank you for all of the hard work you and all the devs put in to our particular phone. Keep the enhancements comming

croy2007 · November 27th, 2012, 08:04 PM

n00b VII is running super smoothly dont know how you keep out doing yourself

bhays3 · November 28th, 2012, 12:26 AM

Anyone having sound issues, when screen locks and goes off music playback starts skipping and then I can't get screen to come back on... maybe something in build prop causing issues during sleep

reality cheque · November 28th, 2012, 02:30 AM

Having some font issues...sometimes there's some spacing issues where some things are cut off/incomplete and in some apps it causes some graphics to appear stilted...any way to change it myself, and if so, how?

reality cheque · November 28th, 2012, 03:01 AM

Everything else working fine though Mr.Bobo! Awesome rom and its come a long way since first implementation! I'm a semi noob (haha pun) so hopefully there's an easy fix for my font issues, albeit minor that they are, or maybe a theme that no one has reported font issues with yet for this rom? Or maybe a semi noob walk through for yours truly on how to do it myself...sorry in advance if this isn't the right place to be posting this btw

i2f · November 28th, 2012, 04:49 AM

I've been thinking about this for a while, but I was wondering if it was possible for you to make it so that the stat_notify_more icon appears all the time, hiding all of the notification icons?

what app are you using? I don't have much in the build prop so I doubt that would be the cause.

Added a link for ICS fonts in post three, can you do me a favor and post a screenshot of the issue you are seeing? Just curious since I haven't ran across that myself. I did see where one of the themes had an alignment issue on the lockscreen but that's out of my control since I didn't create the theme.

I might be convinced to change the font back if others don't like it, I find the VII font easier on the eyes that the one in the zip on post three, but I like that one too.

alsaces daddy · November 28th, 2012, 08:20 AM

After weeks of having 3G issues I was finally able to download and install this ROM. Runs like clockwork bud. Thank you.

I have never seen that come up even when I have about a million notifications in the bar, does it come up if a certain number of notifications are up there?

if it's triggered by a number of apps, it would probably just be a matter of hunting down that number in the framework-res, but I doubt this is something everyone would want so it would probably not make it into my ROM...

reality cheque · November 28th, 2012, 12:06 PM

That's a link to the screenshot I took of the jacked up alignment in one of my FF apps...seems like it may be due to the font spacing maybe? There's some cutoff in the NFL.com FF app as well, although not as major.

reality cheque · November 28th, 2012, 12:20 PM

Okay so it posted the actual pic instead of the link, which works out better for me for my problem

but yeah there it is...a little cutoff on the fb widget as well btw

reality cheque · November 28th, 2012, 01:55 PM

I've been reading up on font changing and have come across two multi function apps that seem like they could do the task...Rom toolbox and absolute system root tools...looks like some users have boot loop and/or bricking issues with rom toolbox and it seems absolute system doesn't have such issues, at least from what I've found searching the interwebs...can anyone confirm or deny this?

Smoothkaos · November 28th, 2012, 03:38 PM

I use rom toolbox. Only for some things though. I don't do anything with kernel, or other things on that level with it but I do change fonts all the time without issue. It's safe

reality cheque · November 28th, 2012, 06:07 PM

Thanks smoothkaos, and much appreciated! Changed my font and thanks to this kick ass rom, didn't even need to reboot! Now speaking of rom toolbox, are the other customizable options okay/safe to use? Like perhaps the status bar icon changer and the theme options?

No problem. Some of the status bar icons can be changed like wifi, 3g,airplane, the icons on the left of the bar primarily. The signal and battery can't with rom toolbox. Don't mess with the themes, trust me.

reality cheque · November 28th, 2012, 07:27 PM

Thanks again good sir and much obliged!

Smoothkaos · November 29th, 2012, 03:18 PM

After first flashing VII there was unseen before snappiness and responsiveness which of course made me very happy. However, I'm noticing lag after certain amounts of time and now I'm not getting texts on a daily basis. I flashed my girlfriends phone with VII and now she's missing texts as well. After reboot new texts begin to receive again but the old ones that were missed remain missed. I need to reflash noob VI I think on both phones. I won't know I missed them until getting phone calls that I never respond to texts so I restart my phone and then get new ones but not the ones I missed. This zram just might be the culprit and is too unreliable I think... I've never had this problem before. Very confused and uncertain of what to do. Not panicing though! Haha Very annoyed would be more accurate. My girlfriend was sending me mms photos while out shopping for our son this morning but I never knew. Because I didn't respond she thought that she shouldn't buy the items and now she has to drive all the way back to get the stuff because I do, in fact, want her to get the stuff. Grrrr

Update : I disabled all three zram, sd readahead, and voltage scripts. Zram to see if it's my lag culprit, sdreadahaed because the kernel already has it built in (what I'm using anyway), and voltage control because I set my own anyway. I'll let ya know how it goes but so far so good. Getting texts!

I was going to suggest it may be boost/network related as far as the mms issues, we saw that two weeks ago across the country and different phones/roms on boost.

for the lag, I would recommend a reflash of VII, if that doesn't change it, then you could go back to swap like noob VI by flashing this zip.

It sounds like you are using a different kernel than what I put out, if so all bets are off LOL

FYI if you flash alien kernel on this ROM you are asking for issues since I have conflicting scripts running and that kernel is bundled with it's own scripts/build.prop tweaks etc. Not knocking it but it's more than just a kernel you are getting in those zips.

EDIT: Reflashing VII Update will clear the scripts and build.prop that alien kernel installed so that's a good starting point FYI.

Smoothkaos · November 29th, 2012, 04:39 PM

I'm running that kernel that DTM gave you and I a couple of days ago. I took heed of your advice on the alien kernel awhile back so I've never tried it. It's weird that when I reboot the sms's start pushing thru. What do you think?

I actually called boost mobile on this a couple of days ago and was told by a tier 3 tech it was the network here in Portland that was having issues(don't know if its the same issue your having in your area) and I was told there working to correct the problem....

Timmay0106 · November 29th, 2012, 06:00 PM

the new update is amazing..., it feels like i have a brand new phone. one question..., what do you guys say is the best voltage control setting? right now the best one i've found is the smartassv2 with max cpu speed of 1804... works flawless.

If my phone goes to sleep data disappears. So does my service. No text. Only calls and after 3-4 rings. Its weird. And I've been thru 4 ROMs lately and can't fix it or MMS issue. Had to download live profile and whatsapp.

A lot of us are running smartassV2/sio

I have mine backed off to 1612.
Nice to see you like your phone so much better now!!

SicFreak · November 29th, 2012, 07:45 PM

I just have to say, this ROM/root combo is amazing. After just getting my phone replaced, and activated today, it literally took me 2 minutes to root it and get the ROM... That's the shiznit right there

I'm probably going to ditch the warp in a couple months. Moving 1300 from my daughter so I need a front facing camera for face time.

I do love this ROM though.

Smoothkaos · November 30th, 2012, 10:01 AM

Reflashed the newer VII update on both phones last night. Everything seems to be working as planned and as expected. Does it seem to anyone else that snappiness eventually deteriorates after a couple days. I'm hoping it doesn't this time

Don't know how I feel about zram yet. The ROM is awesome as usual and I'm not going anywhere.

good to hear... I may need to rethink my approach to versioning and what zips I leave up on this thread for the ROM... what I think happened is you downloaded and updated to a version when I hadn't put in the minfree values, I caught that after some discussion here and added it back in. It may just be my fault... I try very hard not to put out links to test/updates etc in the thread except in the OP, it just leaves room for confusion about what's the latest and greatest... clearly you all underestimate my sneakiness LOL

I think zRam is the way to go after the reading on it I have done, it might take me a couple iterations to get it spot on. I am talking to DTM about an option that may be good for us and he's already got a test kernel out that speeds it up some, as soon as we settle on something stable I will put out a zip to update to that new config. Hang with me, I will keep working on it until it's smooth as silk. I posted a zip a few posts to switch back to the n00b VI setting for the swap instead of zRam if you do see issues come back in a day or two like before.

You're right...zram is the way to go. It's much faster and takes up less space than a conventional swapfile. The downside is that as zram gets full it will eventually start causing system lag and the only real cure for that is a reboot which people should be doing every 1-2 days anyway.

Most likely you don't see these issues yourself because you're constantly rebooting and flashing as you develop and test your rom.

Smoothkaos · November 30th, 2012, 02:07 PM

I agree that zram is the way to go but it is higher maintenance. I wish I knew more about the inner workings of it so I can contribute (I'm researching) but as MrBobo says it's not there quite yet in that "sweet spot". I have to say though that it's comforting knowing that it's continuously worked on and that's the reason MrBobo has so many fans, myself included of course. I'm sure hanging in there. Now that the most updatedest VII gives me an out and literal reset I'll be here for the loooooooong haul! Haha I don't think that was in question anyway. Is there a way to place an auto dump in the script when zram fills to a certain point of causing lag? That would alleviate the reboot every one or two days which drewhill is absolutely accurate on in my experience thus far. It's almost there!

Mr. Bobo,

SicFreak · December 1st, 2012, 05:58 PM

This post is kinda of topic, but not really...What is the best way to calibrate batteries with twrp? After getting my new phone and installing n00b my battery drains rapidly...I can be playin around on the phone, and I can watch it drain... But I've got extended life batteries which before I was getting at least a day, usually a day and a half, if not more. I'd like to get back to that...

Smoothkaos · December 1st, 2012, 06:24 PM

Unfortunately there's no such thing or user function out there that can calibrate the battery. The makers of Android @ Google confirmed on an article I read that even clearing battery cache does nothing except clear the logcat entries for devs to use in determining problems of apps and functions being the cause of draining battery life. I too was wondering the same thing a couple of weeks back and this is what I found. DL an app to read logcat entries so you can determine which app(s) is your drain culprit. There are many on the Play Store for free. When you start seeing your battery drain really bad, logcat it.

I'm running the same apps as before just the Diff ROM and wiping battery stats worked with cwm...

MrBobo · December 1st, 2012, 07:10 PM

Battery stats clear when you hit 100 % charge. Charge to 100 then unplug fora couple minutes until the percentage drops to 95, plug in and charge again until 100, unplug until it drops again, charge to 100, repeat until it stays at 100 after unplugging it for a couple minutes. I have a 2200mah battery that lasts 24 hours normally with my rom

Alright, I'll give that a try, I usually don't use my charger on the phone, but hopefully I can get the stats clear that way thanks.

There shouldn't be any issues with mms on the rom, but there have been issues the last few weeks on the boost network side. You can try a clear cache and dalvik through recovery.

funny, just ran across this friday. This is a timed nightly dump of zram. I think there should be an easier way to have the system automatically manage the zram just like every other kind of swap/temporary memory.

In the dev thread I think I am close now, added some more settings and adjustments, just need some people to give it a try and let me know if the lag comes back or not, so far I haven't been able to get it to come back (but I do reboot more than average).
