Looking forward to your next rom with the kernel/system controls. THOSE WHO DONT KNOW GT WE R IN FOR A TREAT THIS GUY IS A GOD

I have to say I like what your doing here game theory how you kept it stock so I can use the WiFi call and text feature built in and it seems the xposed you have built into the ROM works 100% no bootloops due to certain modules not getting along very smooth and the oc in the last update works great and the flashlight in the quick settings very smart move. Thanks man looking forward to further development on this device

just an fyi theres a new version of xposed available

Zeroastros · Nov 29, 2015

And it works like a charm on this ROM I easily updated

download the xposed-v78-sdk22-arm.zip and flash it in twrp

I'm having a weird problem with this rom.
Every now and again when I oom the kernel will panic and touches stop registering.
I have to pull battery. At first I thought it was just an xposed module until I disabled it on boot. Does it on both phones I own. One shipped with b and the other shipped with e.
I can't capture a log either because it seems to be random.

just curious, so the kernel on this rom is not overclocked due to no perfirmance increase/ benchmark change but will possibly be implemented on the next release?

Flash the stock 10j firmware, the fact that you're having problems with both a stock rom and cm to me says that it's on your end. If you only flashed the bootstack go ahead and give flashing the whole firmware a try just to be sure, can't hurt anything.

If you're making oom changes causing the kernel to crash I don't see how that's a problem with the rom/kernel. The rom and kernel are provided in working order and any changes you make that break it are on you.

Post #35 will answer your question. The actual features of the kernel are listed in the first post.

GT you know a way to increase touch screen sensitivity

You can adjust sensitivity in this file, "/system/usr/touch_dev.idc". Beyond that I can't help since I've never mess with that before. If you decide to tinker with it, backup the file first.

SantitasHeart · Nov 29, 2015

Thank u sir

JayBondzeWell · Nov 29, 2015

is it possible that i could see the overclock, maybe i could give it a shot to see if i could get it to work. (this'll bring back esteem memories with plague kernel work)

It's not modded in any other way and it appears the black screen and touch screen becoming unresponsive follows an app not responding dialog. It happens with things like Facebook and browsers. I actually reflashed the rom and it seems to have fixed everything but it was definitely peculiar.

SantitasHeart · Nov 29, 2015

No issues here

SantitasHeart · Nov 29, 2015

And I dirty flashed with no sd

SantitasHeart · Nov 29, 2015

Anyone have an init.d script to tune cpu and gpu and read ahead

I'm trying to slightly decrease sensitivity, any tips if you've had any luck increasing it?

SantitasHeart · Nov 29, 2015

Nah haven't tried it

GameTheory · Nov 30, 2015

Hey folks I just added PS3/PS4 controller support which will be included in the next update. You'll now be able to use your phone like a gaming console. So get ready!

I'm able to pair a controller and move around android with it so I know it works. I don't game so I haven't tried any games. From what I hear you have to install games that support sixaxis or setup game profile key mappings.

Here's an xda thread where they're sharing mapping profiles...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426760

Here's some apps that support sixaxis...
http://appcrawlr.com/android-apps/best-apps-six-axis

Once I post this you guys should start a thread for games/profiles/troubleshooting etc etc, so that this thread don't go off topic.

Anyways, I'm hoping to post the rom update in the coming days.

Hey guys, I just wanted to drop by and let everyone know what I'm using on this awesome rom.

Launcher- Action launcher 3 (awesome features

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionlauncher.playstore

G4 tweakbox with the license paid $2.50
Gives the 4way reboot option and extras like ui theming.

Layers--- it works to an extant. Have to play around with it but so far no random rebooting bootloops or freezing ...

I flashed the C-apps zip from Cyanogen. And installed the CM file manager.

I uninstalled the CM theme cause it doesn't work. Using the layers app and G4 tweakbox fills this hole.

Uninstalled the LG contacts and phone app, the C-apps zip comes with CM dialer with truecaller built in. Works well.

Also comes with CM gallery, I like it. Also uising Pluse music player. Like that to. I'll add links later.

Nice

Make sure to start a new thread since that's a lot of stuff and don't want this thread to go off the rails. I'll link to your thread if necessary.
