Btw would u be interested I have found a git with the entire nex kernel source? Was gonna look into trying out some mods myself but became confused very quickly when looking up some tutorials lol. I wanted to decompile both the og kernel and yours to reference how to make a kernel for the first time. Got the new kernel, flashing now
 
My system booted 3 seconds faster than any other version after cleaning dalvik and cache but still 450 and creates massive lag at performance gpu

It wouldn't happen to be mine, or rb's? I'll be including that in my tut when I finally get LM16 up and running. STILL backing up my damned hard drive. USB2.0 speeds can go to hell.
ANYWAY, did you still need that drive from me since you have the one you've got now, or should I still send it out. Packages will be going out monday (I was broke until sometime today. Stupid doctor's visit that wasn't budgeted for. How dare you steal my christmas shipping money so I don't go insane. -_-)

It may be one of yours the name wasnt the same though. Sorry bout the finances, I know how it is (see my "woah is me" post lol) if you would still LIKE to still send it out thats up to you, but like I said I am up and running atm again with both UBUNTU 12.10 and WIN7x64 thanks to my boss being a nice guy giving it to me early. If not, no biggy. Save every penny you got left >_<
 
How much better is LM16 than official UBUNTU? I'm looming for something with a decent interface and ease of use (like linux is easy >_<) to start trying out some modding myself. Would like to see 4.2.2 at least on this thing with theming and more power. AOSP would do this device a lot of justice to bring out its full potential for such a powerful phone. If I gotta learn how to do it myself, by golly I will give it my damndest! Lol but you guys have done a great job getting this started. Hopefully more devs will step in and see the possibilities. I'll try and corral as many as I can with videos and show off what this thing can do. Like playing Ravensword Shadowlands which I just bought with NO LAG whatsoever, NFS MW playing with full graphics enabled thanks to this kernel, NOVA 3 and MC4 and their sick speeds and quality, Dead Space...what else should I show off against the oh-so-mighty SIII that is getting its sorry ass left sitting on my table not touched for days? Lol

um, you could show off some of the bloons games. I'm currently playing Bloons TD 5, and it gets pretty resource heavy. around lvl 100 on my rise would take about 15 minutes. On the awe, it takes about 2 minutes. :D

Also, LM16 should be eons easier to use. Think LM16 = Windows, and Ubuntu = Mac. So whatever is better for you. The LM team has been creating their own desktop environment, and it hit 2.0 in LM16, along with a huge slew of changes. LM15 was kind of buggy, so I am excited to play with LM16.
 
Can't believe I forgot bloons! I love TD games, zombie defense and feildrunners hd are the s#!t and pretty resource heavy as well, also got anomaly havent installed them yet but they should do nicely to showcase. Pretty much loving this thing over anything else ive ever owned. I really can't believe this thing is so cheap! Probably mostly due to the lack of an HD display, but seriously it may not be a Note 3 but damn this thing is good.
I'll have to give LM16 a look then. Ubuntu is nice but like I said I'm looking for interface and productivity. Thx for the suggestion
 
UGH!!! Tried messing with the ramdisk to force /system to mount for 4.4 and 4.2. Both are a no go after a few hours of failing. I'm not sure what the problem is. :secruity:
 
u can unpack ramdisk from boot.img and modify it, repack it
ramdisk modification is my thing and when i get one of these devices in my hand i'll have it done real quick

You want to repackage it for me, and shoot it to me? That'd be great.

I will see what I can come up with...

As soon as my laptop is up and running, cm10 is what I was planning on starting with. It's not aosp, but it's still 4.1.2. Should I try just aosp first? That's a lot of dl'ing. :frown:

If you knew how much CM is based on AOSP (it still syncs half AOSP code) you'd see that it doesn't matter what we build from, we'll still have the ramdisk error
 
I have split the boot.img but havent messed with anything yet. I wanted to download notepad++ but havent yet as I'm unsure what to do with the two files. Do I extract the ramdisk with winrar and then what? Lol. Also where would be a good tut to look at modifying the clocks?
Ive tried like 3 different tools to deodex the apk's and jar files but they all fail. Any better way to do those too?

I've never played with boot.img on windows, only on linux.
From there its rather easy from command line:
Code: 
gunzip -cd initramfs.cpio.gz | cpio -i
that'll extract the files
and to repack modified files:
Code: 
find . | cpio -o > ~/initramfs.cpio && gunzip ~/initramfs.cpio
It'll repack it and place ramdisk in Home Dir to be packed into boot.img

As for Apks and deodexing, I think you will need "dsixda's Android Kitchen"
