no longer suspended, kitkat alpha release this week (carbon rom) I'm trying to work on a smoother custom kernel also.

figured out what was causing my bootloop and from here it should be much easier :D

huge thanks to ss2man for a better ramdisk also, mine was bad and was causing a charging issue

I will post my device tree on release

early alpha preview carbon 4.4.2. not sure how well connectivity works since my kingdom hasn't had service in 2 years

Amazing ROM :) Everything works fine so far. The only thing I noticed was that the headphones don't work and and the camera app isn't installed and when I install a third party camera app it crashes. Both of them aren't much of a big deal so thanks for continuing support for the kingdom :)!

Thanks again,

So you flashed the new ROM on the Freedompop phone and got connected to Sprint? I haven't flashed it yet, just got home. What else did you noticed? Or anyone else who had a chance to flash it!

The lock screen said "searching for service" at the bottom, then after a minute said "sprint", then "enhanced service". I didn't get to find out what that means, because my touch screen won't work with the ROM. I couldn't get past the lock screen.

seems like freedompop uses a different touchscreen than the original variants?

is anyone not on that device getting no touchscreen?


I wonder if my phone was refurbished and got a replacement screen or something. I seemed to be the only one with this issue when ss2man was working on this. Is there a way to find that out?

Are the drivers any different (or implemented differently) than blue kingdom? I don't know exactly how these things work, but it surprises me that one would work and the other wouldn't.
