Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] [ROM][UNOFFICIAL]AOKP 4.2.2 Built from source

[reppard]

I didn't intend to ignore your first post, I just got sidetracked lol. Yeah I'll very likely be taking you up on that particular offer.

Its all good man. I setup a a vendor repo for d2mtr and modified all the scripts so its not dependant on d2-common. Used to build cm10 and it works great. We can plug that into the manifest. It pulls all the prop files too.

why on earth would you do that?

 

[reppard]

why on earth would you do that?

Being that I am only building for this device, I can have a much cleaner working tree if I don't have a bunch of needless crap in it. Why would I want my make files and scripts calling scripts and make files in another directory? Not to mention that those scripts drop all the blobs in vendor/samsung/d2-common...to much middle man crap. I like point A to point B. CM does this to shrink the code base because the devices have a lot in "common", which makes sense if you are building for multiple devices, but i am not.

Why is that everytime i try to.change font on this rom my phone always bricks and i have to reflash the Rom? I didnt had this problem with aopk 4.1.2 . Any help? I tried font changer, font installer. And custom android fonts. All of them briked my phone

So ive ran into a bug that i cant seem to find a solution for.. I believe i seen someone post the same issue, yet got no answer.. So I'm trying my luck


Simple yet super annoying... After long periods of use without rebooting I've find myself pressing the home button and instead the multi tasking pops up as if i was long pressing it... And once ive BACKED out to the home screen after 15 apps lolz, i encounter yet another issue.... When pressing the menu key i go straight into Google search..? Weird much. I have Nova launcher free installed so no gestures are recorded.. Idk what the deal is. A REBOOT seems to fix it though.

That happens on aosp/aokp also, so im assuming it's a 4.2 bug just like the 0 folder issue.

 

[Guitarkidd]

I already did but it does the same with any font changer app

Everything was perfect until this morning , when I left the house and turned WiFi off I was on 3g / 1x. what could be messing with the 4g??

I was afraid of this... after my issues with it, I restored my old ROM and haven't flashed back to this one again - yet.... I was hoping that it was just a fluke with my phone and not the ROM itself... and with all the glowing reports here, and myself being the only one to have that problem, had assumed so.

Until now.

blackbean did the same thing so i imagine so, but the 0 folder isnt a bug

 

[lonestariot83]

Yeah. I got same issue with baked. What is with the 0 folder anyway. Just curious.

It sucks cuz 3G is sooooo slow and I love this rom . Guess I have to switch to something else :/

It really IS a smooth ROM and runs great... I like it too.
Have you tried going into network settings and switching back-and-forth yet? I did, and it finally went back to 4G. (although it acted like it had a mind of it's own, and went from 3G to 4G and back at random times when it felt like it. lol And sometimes it would just stay on 3G regardless of what I did. )

If you really like the ROM, it's only a minor inconvenience to switch manually (provided it WILL allow you to switch to 4G)... until a fix is found.

its for multiuser support (which is disabled on phones) that was brought in 4.2, its so each user could have their own "sdcard". if you flash a 4.2 rom and stay on it youd never know the difference since it reports the "correct" location when teh device is booted. the only time you have issues with it is when you revert back.

since when google made this feature they didnt intend for people to revert so it was a nonissue

How are you switching manually?

 

[Pappy62]

How are you switching manually?

In the network mode settings. I'd go into more detail, but some ROM list/name it differently... like the one I'm on now. lol
I can't remember... try settings>wireless and network>more settings>mobile networks

Oh I already tried that. Network mode is at LTE/CDMA/EvDo and its on 3G . Guess its inevitable

Any bug fix yet?

 

[thatguy96]

Any new semi nightly being built...I like this rom and it's "swagger" ...

Working on it, I haven't forgotten about you guys. I've just gotten tied up around the neck by classes and papers.

 

[c0ntrolfre4k15]

are you going to merge jb-mr1 build 6? came out yesterday
aokp says that their rom is unstable on d2xxx devices due to 3.4 based kernels, i dont know what that means but was hoping you could explain in case it causes any issues here.
and btw, keep up the great work im really loving this rom, thanks so much for it.

 

[thatguy96]

I had a freeze today...when I toggled torch from the power menu on lock screen...After turning it on I tried to open the lock screen to turn off torch(don't know why I didn't do it from lockscreen)...After unlocking it rebooted after a short freeze...It's working fine for now only freeze I've had on this rom so far...

 

[thatguy96]

Home and back button are actin finicky...when I press home button it just goes straight to multitasking and back button goes back once too much...Gonna see if reboot fixes it...

EDIT: reboot fixed it...hopefully it don't happen again ...
