Root [ROM] Quattrimus JB (CM10, AOKP41)

This is a whole new world from when I rooted and flashed my D1, had bug less beast gingerbread.
Alfonso was the man on OG Droid1.
Thinking of jumping ship to the BB Z10, QNX is a nice OS, but will wait and see what happens in the first few months after January 30th release date.
LG has tainted the Android experience for me. :( LG bites big ones.
Changing boot animations is fun. :)
 
I was hoping to have that done this week but I had some issues getting out rc1 and I'm getting busy at my real job and I have a 3yo son who just had surgery. So it might be another week or two. Enjoy 4.1 it's the best Rom I've made to date. :)

sorry to hear about your son. prayers go out to him, and a speedy recovery. thanks for all you have done.

@TDM Best wishes for you and your son and a fast recovery!

I did just get a random reboot on RC1, but I didn't try to get a last_kmsg immediately, I was taking a furniture delivery. If it happens again I'll get it on pastebin.

tdm built a script into the rom that keeps the last ten logs in /data/local/tmp look there and you can get it super easy.

hope your son has a full & complete recovery.

If you push what you current have I will see what I can get done, between all my other projects.

Thanks!

Everything is up to date in github.com/thebigq except for the baseband fix, which I will push shortly. It's pretty trivial, just edit init.iproj.rc and remove the two existing calls to init.qcom.baseband.sh and add this:

on property:dev.bootcomplete=1
exec /system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.qcom.baseband.sh

Take a peek at init.iproj.rc in rc1 to see it.

I'm not using github.com/spectrumhackers anymore. Feel free to update that as you see fit, or not.

k ,thanks. Yea I caught on to that when I viewed your profile the other night. Knew you like to keep everything up to date and well commited, I do the same on some stuff as well.

Thanks again, and hopefully I can help out on it. ;)
 
First thing, TDM I hope your boy has a speedy recovering and milks you being worried about him for every light night candy he can!

Second I got a note 2 for me and have the spec to a friend who broke her I phone, but thher is an interesting problem I can't fix. She can't get text messages from her husband's I phone. All other messages come in but not not husbandand the only thing that is different is he's on an I phone

Sorry don't know about that. Maybe someone else can help...?
 
I THINK this is the kmsg from the random reboot, but I have no idea how to read these things so I'm not sure. If not, I have nine more... haha.

Yes that's a good kmsg. User space called reboot, the kernel didn't crash. Note these lines near the end:

SysRq : Emergency Remount R/O
...
sys_reboot: sys_reboot is called from android

Unfortunately, I don't have any good ways to diagnose why sys_reboot was called or what called it. I've been thinking about adding something though, since that seems to be the most common issue.

Oh, okay! Thanks, now I know to look for that in the future, instead of just hoping I upload the right log. :D
 
Looking at adding an auto-wipe to the installer script. It would work like this:

If the ROM being installed does not match the existing ROM (eg. android version and vendor), then wipe system data and dalvik cache. All user data from user installed apps would be preserved in any case.

This would pretty much eliminate the ever-present "do I need to wipe?" posts.

Comments?

Sounds like a good idea. It would help prevent the bootloop posts also. It's a very good safety net for those who want to get rid of stock but aren't very experienced yet. Honestly, I'm surprised that nobody else has thought of that yet.

I'd be cool with that. I always wipe cache and davlik personally, and if it's a new rom, firmware, or android version obviously I wipe the big three, but this would speed things up a bit on the user's end which is cool.

IntRandPooka's CM7-GB for Droid X used to do this on every install. Personally, I wipe system and cache every time I flash even if I'm just upping builds... so *APPROVED*

PS: I doubt it will help much with the "Do I need to wipe?" posts... Anyone that asks, probably isn't reading before flashing, so they won't know it will auto-wipe. Might help with the "I think I bricked my phone!" posts, though.
 
If there is anyone out there who wants to make a "port" of this Rom for miui or pa or whatever, but can't because of the advanced installer magic, I made a simple cm10 build just for that purpose. It's not tested yet but it should be okay. PM me for more info.

Note I always compile from source, do not ask me anything about how to "port". In my opinion, the whole "porting" thing is distasteful at best, but I recognize many users want it.
 
tried one port so far no go , about to try another one, I knew one on this other one I came close to it booting but it didn't. I'm going to keep trying. Especially to those that over demanding and they know who they are :)

Only purpose for port is Miui and il give a pretty penny to who ever gets miui before I do ;) In the near future that is

I'm not entirely iSure, but you said both iPeople HAD iPhones? iKnow if you are iGoing iPhone-to-iPhone it will use iMessage automatically. Perhaps her iHusband's phone thinks she still has an iPhone and is trying to iMessage which of course the Spectrum won't iReceive. iThink I had a similar issue back when iHad an iPhone and my father also did but then iSwitched to the big red. iEnded up restoring his iPhone, which fixed it, however there may be an iSetting to clear contact info or never use iMessage for an iContact.
