Sweet! I'm currently running Calkulins plus your V9 kernel and was getting ready to deal with the additions you just made standard! Awesome timing! Can I just clear Cache & Dalvik and then flash (& fix permissions) or would you recommend the full blown Format All then flash?

I am using a very similar combo and it is very stable it will be nice to have it all in one zip. Many thanks.

Can anyone download the file? I can't seem to.
Nevermind, finally got it.

Will Hulu still work in this build?

Yepper HULU works GREAT!!!

I don't know if this is a bug, but I installed thumb keyboard. I go into the keyboard options and try to check the thumb keyboard but it doesn't do anything. Then I try to go into input method, but it doesn't show up there ether.

I've enjoyed your kernel work in the short time I've had my G-Tab. Does this mean you're done w/ the G-Tab kernel making game since it sounds like you'll be returning your G-Tab?

Runs great, thanks.
Any way to add wpa2 enterprise support or get the normal android settings app?

CLEMSYN DON'T RETURN YOUR G TABLET!!!
haha thanks for all your work and the great kernels you made.. We will miss you here!

Fixed the wpa2 enterprise issue by installing "WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor" from the market, now I'm on my work network.

You have to copy the apk over to system/app folder. You'll need root explorer or something similar.

Thank you in advance for your work. I'm waiting for gTablet I just ordered yesterday from Woot. Hopefully it will show up next few weeks.

Ran this ok for half the day, then pressed power in attempt to wake from sleep and it rebooted. Now it's stuck on the honeycomb boot animation. Any ideas?

Try going to recovery mode and wipe cache, the clear Dalvik-cache (it's under Advance). Then fix permissions (Also under Advance) then reboot. Hope that helps.

Thanks....i ended up reflashing using the regular clockwork....i was using the .8 clockwork previously. That was wrong right?

I was wondering the same thing as the poster you replied to. I will get root explorer, but where would we find the thumb keyboard that I attempted to install (paid for it). Which folder? Thanks in advance.

With root explorer, go into data/apps and copy the thumb keyboard apk. Now back out and go into system/apps. Make sure you select mount R/W at the top of the screen. Now paste the apk in this folder. Reboot. Now just long press in a text box and choose thumb keyboard in the input method.

I found a easy way to do it! Using CWM install replace tnt settings zip. reboot! you should have your old settings menu now. Then change the keyboard. Go back to CWM and flash rollback tnt settings zip. Reboot! Now your done!
:I suggest you use rollback because some widgets and stuff dont work with the replacement zip:

[TWEAK] MIUI V4 [2.10.12] tweaks

Hello there! I have created a small flashable .zip with some tweaks I came up with, while experimenting with my MIUI V4 by geno.
This should be compatible with CrazyMIUI (as it is based on geno's release), but only if you have the same release number.
Before flashing make sure you have the same MIUI version as the patch (see version number below). Otherwise you can make the changes on your own with a root file manager at the specific version you are using.
Finally, if you don't want any of the included mods, you can delete the corresponding file from the .zip before flashing. For example lets say you don't want Google play to be installed. Open the .zip file, go to system/app/ and delete the GooglePlayStore.apk file. Then flash normally. The update script manages to flash only the included files/tweaks so you should have no problems.
In case you have problems after flashing, fix permissions.
Tested with CWM 5.5.0.4.
Download at the attachments.
UPDATE: If you have root problems check out this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31285923&postcount=350

(SAME) Erase the /system/media/video folder. This folder includes some video samples but are useless. I delete them everytime in order to have some more space at the system.
(NEW) Erase some Chinese apps. (supermarket, baidu input, root explorer)
(SAME) Add Google Play (v.3.8.17) as system app because otherwise system can't always update/install apps.

(SAME) /system/etc/gps.conf tweaks. Use European gps server.

If you look at /system there should be a log.txt which has some boot information. One of these should be open zram... if it is on at the enhanced.conf file.
In terms of performance i noticed fewer redraws and faster opening of apps... but maybe it is a placebo...

ps. at the moment I am unable to install miui and test this tweak..
pps. sorry for my english

ROM will be great when sources will be optimized, but tweaks is like a push candy to dead man. Modifications of how ROM works - yes, but tweaks for performance...
As I saying - customize the source, but not that what goes after when all of customizers understand this meaning all goes on the next level of good things

I agree 200% with that but as long as i don't have the time to mod sources and kernel i am just waiting as you are... I am pretty sure that geno isn't making any progress for U8800 apart from updating the MIUI sources so I append my hopes on MIUI. I think there is room for improvement in 3.0.8 kernel and the smali codes of our patchrom, in order to be optimized for MIUI but i cannot be sure of that as long as i haven't dig the codes enough...
Apart from that i am having better performance with these tweaks so i thought sharing them.
Sharing is caring
Cheers and thanks !

DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING SAMI OS:
To Download my ROM, please visit its webpage and while it downloads you can spend your time reading all the instructions and tips that are mentioned in this thread. After the Download completes, you can start reading the instructions given below and please read all the instructions carefully to successfully install Sami OS...
Prerequisites:
A fully functional GT- i9070 or i9070P of course
Your phone must be having enough Battery charge (30% or more - just to be safe)
Your External SD Card must be having enough Storage capacity
Your phone must be running any of Samsung's Jellybean (4.1.2) firmware. If you're running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread, then please upgrade to Jellybean 4.1.2 first! Or if you're running Android 4.2 or above then please downgrade to Jellybean 4.1.2, then you'll be able to install my ROM.
Your phone must be Rooted
Your phone must be running a custom kernel which has either TWRP or ClockworkMod recovery installed (Recommended Recovery: TWRP)
(Optional) You must have Odin and Samsung's USB Drivers Installed on your PC. You must also have a USB cable and a copy of Samsung's Jellybean firmware; just in case you fail to install Sami OS and end up with having no OS on your phone
(Optional but Recommended) You must backup all your Apps, Games, App data, Memos, Messages, Call logs, etc. to your External SD Card. But do note that I will not be held responsible if you lose all your files, apps and all your data since installing any ROM will require deletion of user data for preventing common installation errors.
Installation of Sami OS:
- Download my ROM and put it on your External SD Card (make sure it has sufficient space to store my ROM in there)
- Reboot to Recovery. To do that, turn off your phone and Press and hold Volume Up, Home and the Power button and release it when you see the Samsung Logo after a short vibration...
For people with TWRP Recovery:
- Go to Settings and Disable (un-check) Zip Signature Verification
- Then go to Mount and check (mount) System
- Then go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe and check System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Then swipe to wipe/erase them. As stated above, doing all these will erase pretty much everything on your phone so make sure you backed up everything first
- Then go back and select Install, switch to external_sd card and select "Sami_OS_For_GT-I9070.zip"
- Then swipe to flash it and the rest of the Installation should be automated, so wait for a while for the installation to finish
- After the Installation is over, it should show a "Successful" message in Blue text. Now all you have to do is press on Reboot to do Reboot to System!​
For people with CWM Recovery:
- Go to Wipe data/factory reset and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Wipe cache partition and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Advanced, then select wipe dalvik cache and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Mounts and Storage and mount your system
- Then on the same menu, select Format /system, /cache, /data and /preload folders one by one
- Now go back to Main menu and select Install zip from sdcard
- Then toggle signature verification to DISABLE it
- Then on the same menu, select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Now search for "Sami_OS_For_GT-I9070.zip" and select to install it... the rest of the Installation will be automated, so wait for a while for it to finish
- After that's done you can now go back to main menu and choose "reboot system now" to Reboot your phone. And that's it!​
- Your phone should now reboot and it will be "stuck" on that "awesome" Boot Animation for a while; so don't worry.. it happens every time you install any Custom ROM - so there's nothing to worry about. Just wait for about 3 to 5 minutes.. BUT if your phone is experiencing a bootloop (i.e taking way too much time) then reboot to recovery and wipe your cache, dalvik cache and data again. If that too doesn't fix it then please refer "If Sami OS didn't successfully get installed" section below....
- If everything goes OK then you will see Sami OS' final installation wizard which requires you to setup your user language, your Wi-Fi, your Google Account, etc...
If you constantly keep getting Force Close errors on the Setup Screen, then do this:
Even though I never experienced this after flashing my ROM, this is what you should do if you have this problem:
- Reboot to Recovery
- And Fix Permission (TWRP: Advanced > Fix Permissions.... CWM: Advanced Menu > Select Fix Permissions)
If that did not work then here's what shut_down did to fix this issue:
- Reboot to Recovery
- Perform a Factory Reset and then Wipe Cache (Refer the instructions above.. you're just basically doing the same thing)​
If Sami OS didn't successfully get installed:
If things go horribly wrong then...
- DON'T PANIC
- Reboot to Recovery and wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache AND/OR perform a Factory Reset
- If that did not work then make sure that the zip you downloaded is "complete" and not "corrupted" and install again
If none of the above helps then follow the instructions below:
- Reboot to Recovery and wipe your entire System (i.e Everything!)
- Then reboot to Download Mode (to do that, turn off your phone and Press and hold Volume Down, Home and the Power button and release it when you see a picture of an Android logo after a short vibration...)
- Press volume up to continue and connect your phone with your PC using the USB Cable
- Open Odin and wait for it to recognize your phone
- Then click on PDA and choose your stock firmware
- After it verifies the .md5 checksum; click on Start without checking any other check-boxes or anything else
- It should then install Samsung's 4.1.2 firmware​
And that's pretty much it! So Congratulations, you just installed Sami OS on your phone! So now there's only one last crucial step remaining.. And that is to take pride and update your Signature and click on the Thanks Button. I hope that you will all enjoy using it...

Bugs:
Depending on their severity, these bugs will either be Ignored or Fixed via Add-Ons/Bug-fixes or ROM updates...

FAQs, Tips and Notes, My Opinion on my ROM, Credits and Acknowledgements
Should I install/update in a chronological order?
Yes. This means that you should install Sami OS 1.0 first (if you haven't already) and then reboot to system. Use your phone for a while and setup everything. Once all that is done, reboot to recovery and start installing the updates one by one (in a chronological order) without rebooting to system.
Is updating from 1.x to 1.z possible?
Yes, it is possible. But its recommended that you install 1.y first.. So that you won't miss out from any new features or fixes that were introduced in the 1.y update... I know that this will become a little tedious, but its the only way for me to keep the size of the updates smaller - so that it can be uploaded and downloaded much quickly. Detailed instructions on how to update to my ROM's latest version is available. Just look for it on the Second post of this thread.
Flashing so many zip files is a little tedious. Why not merge all the updates into one zip file?
Even though I've considered about doing this ever since I released the 1.1 Update, there are a lot of some reasons why I'm not doing this. You can download the ROM and all its updates and mods on your PC , extract them to a single folder and then manually merge/combine all of them. Once that's done, select the 3 folders (META-INF, system and vrtheme) and use any file archiving software (like 7-zip or WinRAR) to make a zip file out of it. Let me know if you bump into any problems.
Can I flash xyz performance/battery mods or scripts while I'm using your ROM on my phone?
No. My ROM already has a lot of scripts and various other tweaks and mods. So adding more will either have no effect or make things worse (slower performance, boot loop, high battery drain, etc.). So please ask me first before installing anything like this and I'll try to find out if it'll work on my ROM without any issues or not.
Tips & Notes:
Below are some tips and notes which I'm sharing from my experience:
Please don't use your phone after restarting or turning it on for at least a minute.. Its going to lag.. This is probably because the system is still busy loading all its services, files, apks, scripts and because the media server will be running in background.
You can use Greenify to disable most system apps like Google Play Services to get lower battery consumption (while phone is idle). Additionally, you can also use CoCore E 8.2 Kernel if you prefer better battery life over performance
The best way to clear your phone's RAM is by doing a Quick (Hot) Reboot instead of Normal Reboot.. This is because Hot Reboot just restarts the OS; not the entire device.. Thus its faster than a Normal Reboot and also doesn't drain your battery while it reboots
You need to disable MMS to save yourself from the recently discovered Stagefright security vulnerability by using a small app. Look for "Samsung_KNOX_and_ZHA_ap_MMSCtrl" under the Add-Ons section
If for some reason your phone's system partition becomes read-only then type this into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
Before installing any mods or scripts please make sure that they are compatible with Sami OS! Because I added a lot of tweaks too; so my tweaks may interfere with the tweaks you install!
You can use apps like SDMaid Pro to maintain your phone's optimal performance by clearing cache, (old) logs, bulk of unneeded files and disabling auto-starting of certain apps on Boot
The safety_level is changed from 3 to 1 in libsqlite.so. So, there is a small risk of data corruption here. This is because no fsync is done before databases are committed into disk and hence it'll be faster but at the slight risk of corruption. This could include launcher widgets going missing or SMS messages going missing or corrupted etc.. But do note that this is the default behavior in JB 4.3, KK 4.4 and above. You can revert back to the older libsqlite.so file if you want to avoid any risk of data corruption.
If for some reason adb is no longer working then add this line below to your build.prop and then give it another try:
Code:
persist.service.adb.enable=1
After updating or installing my ROM, if you cannot see your accounts (e.g- Google, Yahoo, WhatsApp, etc.) under Accounts in Settings (app), then all you need to do is log out and sign back in. You should now see them now
Please disable Keytones, Touch Sounds, Screen lock sound and Haptic Feedback under Sound menu (in Settings).. Use only if required to do so; because they all contribute in consuming your battery.. The same thing goes for Motion options as well..
Checkout this simple trick to change the Status Bar's gradient orientation
For switching to Material theme on your Keyboard, go to Settings > Language and Input > Google Keyboard Settings > Advanced Settings and change the Color scheme to "Material"
For my own benefit, I chose not to Re-odex my ROM. But if you want to Re-Odex my ROM on your phone then you can use Universal Odex Script or anything similar to do it. Because I did not try it yet, please tell me if you did it and succeeded.
If you're into pimping, tweaking and modding your phone, then you should definitely checkout Xposed (if you haven't already). It drastically simplifies this process by taking away the need for flashing zip files or modifying any apk or jar files!
Checkout XMultiWindow. It's functionality is quite similar to Samsung's MultiWindow functionality - but this is way better in my opinion
Checkout XBlast Tools. It's more or less like an All-in-One Tweak Box. You can change a lot of stuff in your phone on the go without modifying any APK files!
If you don't want to use CRT Off animation then please uncheck it from Settings > Display (obviously ) and then using MiXplorer (or any browser with Root access), go to system > etc > init.d folder and open 03_crt_net.
Look for the lines containing "fbdelay" and "fbdelay_ms" and delete or comment them out. Save the file, set the proper file permission and restart for it to take effect. This should remove the "delay" in powering your screen off..
You can disable Touchboost feature to save some more battery.
Using MiXplorer (or any browser with Root access), go to system > etc > init.d folder and open 02_kernel. Look for
"echo on > /sys/kernel/mxt224e/touchboost" and "echo 500 > /sys/kernel/mxt224e/touchboost_delay" and delete or comment them out. Save the file, set the proper file permission and restart for it to take effect
If for some reason you want to have a persistent notification of USB debugging (enabled) then add this line below to your build.prop:
Code:
persist.adb.notify=1
Right now, the best kernels to use with Sami OS are CoCore E 8.2, 10.0 and Refresh R09 (link to thread)
If you're wondering why this thread is full of textual information, its because I want to this thread as Noob Friendly as possible! And yes, I typed each and every words - so yeah, I think I deserve a thanks for that too.
More will be added soon to this list very soon!
My Opinion on my ROM:
I've been running the "pre-release" and the "final" version Sami OS for quite some time now.. And yes, my phone is super smooth with the combo of Sami OS and CoCore E r09 BUT I did notice some occasional hiccups and lags on my ROM too! I'm sure that a very few developers will tell bad about his/her ROM, but I'm just like you - I always want the best in my phone and so I am being honest with you.. Nothing is perfect in this world, and my ROM is certainly not an exception.. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't use it.. Because it indeed is super smooth most of the time!!!
One more thing.. my ROM still isn't completely optimized for Aggressive gaming, multi-tasking and battery conservation yet but I hope that it will get better along with the future updates it'll be getting..

[ROM] Sero 7 Pro (US/UK/AU/DE) - AOSP 5.1.1_r14 DoPa5 v1.3

** DoPa6 (AOSP - Marshmallow) ** is now available - see this post for details and downloads
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DoPa5 v1.3 is a Lollipop ROM for Sero 7 Pro owners worldwide. It focuses on core functionality that must be built-in and relies on 3rd-party apps to provide features that can be added-on. This release also offers a version of TWRP Recovery that is compatible with all models of the S7P.
Key Features
International Support - a single ROM for all Sero 7 Pros sold worldwide (US, UK, Australia, Germany, and elsewhere)
Speed Control - speed when you need it and stock performance when you don't
OTG Charging - charge the tablet while an external device is attached to the USB port
Flexible Formatting - full support for both F2FS and EXT4 on your internal storage, and exFAT/FAT32/NTFS/F2FS/EXT4 support for external storage
Installation
First-time Users
If you're upgrading from a stock ROM (any variety), please click the "show content" button and read the instructions very carefully - they're long but your tablet's continued good health may depend on it!
STEP 1: Install TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery
Users outside the US must use the DoPa versions of these recoveries to install the ROM - neither the stock recovery nor other versions of CWM or Philz will work. Users in the US should use them just to avoid problems.
Stock Recovery
If you still have the stock recovery program you'll have to use the 'fastboot' program to install TWRP or Philz. On Windows, this requires installation of the 'ADB' USB drivers while in fastboot mode (see below). A package containing the drivers, fastboot, adb and other files can be found in the 2nd posting on the DoPa Stock ROM thread. Note: there are several batch files (*.bat) in the package - do NOT run them.
put fastboot.exe in a convenient directory, then unzip the recovery zip and put the .img file (twrp.img or philz.img) in the same directory (you won't need the other files)
unplug any USB cable, then press and hold Power+VolumeUp; the word "fastboot" should appear on the screen (nothing further will appear)
plug the USB cable from your PC into the tablet, then install the driver (open Device Manager, right click on "Other Devices->Fastboot", then select "Update Driver Software")
after installing the driver, open a command prompt ("DOS window") and change to the directory containing the files
enter, as appropriate, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img or fastboot flash recovery philz.img
when done, force the tablet off, remove the USB cable, then reboot into recovery: Power+VolumeDown - you should see the word "recovery", then either the TWRP or Philz menu
CWM
If you have CWM installed, copy your choice of recovery zip to an SD card, insert it in the tablet, then:
remove any USB cable, then boot into recovery: Power+VolumeDown
select "Install Zip", then "Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1"
select the file, then OK the selection
when done, back out to the main menu, select "Advanced options", then "Reboot recovery"
after the initial "recovery" screen, you should see the TWRP or Philz menu
Regardless of how you install your chosen recovery, the result should be the same. If it boots OK, compatibility is assured
STEP 2: Backup
I can't emphasize this enough: you must make a backup of your existing ROM. If something goes wrong, there's no way to get your device working again other than to restore it using the backup you've made. There's also another reason to do a backup: before installing the new ROM, you will have to reformat your /data partition. This will wipe out your apps, your settings, and most importantly, all the music/photos/etc stored on your "internal SDcard". These last items can be restored if you follow the instructions below:
You must do your backup onto a real SD card that you can remove because your "internal SDcard" will be erased in the next step. In fact, it wouldn't be a bad idea to do two backups (preferably to different cards) just in case one is faulty.
using Philz, select "Backup and Restore", then "Backup to /storage/sdcard1" -if there's enough space on the card, the backup will start without any further prompt;
using TWRP, select "Backup", then tap "Storage" (halfway down the screen) and ensure that "sdcard" is selected; on the previous screen, swipe the slider to start the backup;
it could take anywhere from 3 to 15+ minutes depending on the amount of data and the speed of your card
if needed, you can enable compression to create a smaller backup: for TWRP, you can check "Enable compression" on its main backup screen; for Philz, select "Misc Nandroid Settings -> Default Backup Format -> tar + gzip", then on the previous menu, tap on "Compression" to set the appropriate level
STEP 3: Install the DoPa5 ROM
Before you begin, you may want to download a Google Apps ("Gapps") package that you can install after the ROM. See the TK Gapps thread for details. I recommend the "Nano Modular" package which gives you the basics - you can always upgrade later. Put your Gapps package along with the ROM zip on an SD card and insert it into the tablet - you can use the same card you're using for your backups.
using TWRP, select "Wipe", then "Format data"; on the next screen type "yes" to confirm you want to proceed;
using Philz, select "Wipe and Format Options", then "Custom Format Options"; next select "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)" (the 8th item), then OK your choice;
return to the main menu
using TWRP, select "Install"; at the top it should show "Storage: sdcard" - if not, tap there and change the setting
using Philz, select "Install Zip -> Choose zip from /storage/sdcard1"
select sero7pro-aosp511-dopa5-v1.3.zip, then OK your choice - the install process should take about 40-60 seconds
next, install your Gapps package
return to the main menu, select "Reboot" then "System" if using TWRP, or "Reboot System Now" for Philz, then hold your breath for the next 3-4 minutes
the Hisense screen should be up for 30 seconds, followed by the DoPa boot animation for another 3 minutes
If the boot animation is still running after 5+ minutes, force the tablet off, then reboot. If that doesn't fix it, try formatting /data again. If it still doesn't work, restore your tablet from your backup ("Backup and Restore -> Restore from /storage/sdcard1"), then post a message here. If everything works out as hoped for, re-read the first posting in this thread for details on some of the features (and problems) of this ROM.
Upgrades
UK, AU, and DE users must use the DoPa versions of TWRP or Philz Touch to install the ROM because they are the only ones compatible with your tablet. US users can use any SELinux-enabled version of CWM, Philz, or TWRP.
from DoPa5 AOSP Lollipop ROMs - no need to wipe or format anything!
from DoPa AOSP Kitkat ROMs (v1.0-v2.7) - a clean install is recommended but not required
from pre-Kitkat (v4.4.x) or any CM-based ROMs - wipe your /data partition before installing to avoid unnecessary problems.
install sero7pro-aosp511-dopa5-v1.3.zip
- the installer will wipe (but NOT format) /cache and dalvik-cache for you
install your preferred Gapps package
- upgraders: this is required to prevent your downloaded Google apps from crashing
optionally, install the Nexus7 spoof (sero7pro-nexus7spoof-dopa5-v1.3.zip)
reboot (ignore any "fix root" prompt - it's incorrect)
f2fs / ext4 Migration
This DoPa ROM gives you the flexibility to format any of your built-in partitions using either the f2fs or ext4 file systems.
As part of your install - or at any time - you can switch formats without losing any data. Click "show content" for instructions.
If you haven't already installed TWRP or Philz Touch Recovery, please do so first.
TWRP
make a backup to your external SD card
select Wipe then Advanced Wipe
select the partition to reformat, then tap Repair or Change File System
on the next screen, tap Change File System, then F2FS (or EXT4 to restore the default file system)
swipe the slider below to start formatting
when done, use the Restore option on the main screen to restore the contents of the partitions you reformatted
Philz
make a nandroid backup to your external SD card
select Wipe and Format Options, then Custom Format Options
select toggle f2fs <-> ext4 migration
- be sure there's a confirmation message at the bottom of the screen
select each partition you want to convert or wipe, then select the format and OK your choice
Important: to convert your /data partition, you must select format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)!!!
use Custom Restore from /storage/sdcard1 to restore the contents of the partitions you reformatted
Changes since DoPa5 v1.2
Xposed and GravityBox - these staples of the DoPa KitKat ROMs are back and preinstalled to provide all the tweaks you want - and none of the ones you don't
ArchiDroid Optimizations - this version of Android was built using gcc 4.9 and is highly optimized thanks to settings provided by JustArchi. To help ensure stability, the kernel uses standard optimization levels but is better tuned to our Cortex A9 processor due to the use of linaro 4.9 (a version of gcc optimized for ARM processors).
No Odex-ing - odex-ing has been abandoned because Xposed recompiles all apps, making the .odex files redundant. There should now be enough space on the /system partition to install the TK-Gapps Micro package.
Adaptive Brightness - a longstanding bug that could cause the screen to go black has been fixed. Overall brightness levels have been adjusted to provide greater dynamic range in low lighting conditions.
Notes
Xposed - having the Xposed framework installed shouldn't cause any issues, but if you wish to remove it you can do so using the xposed-uninstaller available in the Xposed XDA thread. The Xposed Installer and GravityBox apps will remain but will be inactive - you can use a root-enabled filemanager to remove them if you wish.
Encryption - if you wish to encrypt your /data partition, you must first use Philz Recovery to format it. Using TWRP to format may cause the partition to become un-decrytable, resulting in the complete loss of all your data. This is NOT an issue if you don't plan to use encryption.
WiFi Display - end a WiFi Display session from your television, not the tablet; doing so from the tablet may cause it to lock up. Chromecast is reportedly not subject to this issue.
USB Audio - booting up with a USB audio device attached may result in a bootloop.
Gapps - due to limited space on the /system partition, the TK Gapps's "Mini Modular" and larger packages will not install. I suggest using the "Nano" package, then downloading those apps you really want from PlayStore.

Thx for all your hard work
on these tablet
Thx

ok, so I have a question or several as I remember them...
I noticed in Beta 4 that we were (or at least I was) suffering from the well documented play movies bug that was afflicting a number of 2013 Nexus 7 models.
Has this been fixed yet?
If not, is there a workaround?
If so, what is it?
I also noticed some performance and stability issues when using the performance tab along with apps like 3c Toolbox and System Tuner. Unfortunately, I did not see a way to use performance tab to overclock the gpu and leave the cpu clock stock so that I could tweak the system through the aforementioned apps.
Also, can the cpu be overclocked beyond 1.5 Ghz?
If so, is this already enabled, or is there some magic involved?
I really liked the beta 4 (beta r3) Rom and the way it looked, felt, and ran.
I found it to be better at managing free memory than kitkat in that I had at least 50% more free ram than Kitkat. I believe this contributed to some of the performance increase. But I had a hard time with the Google Play Movies bug. And some people were saying it was a general problem within the os's video subsystem.

Legend, keep up the great work

Excellent work! Looking forward to this!

I'm sorry I didn't know about this until you mentioned it. I'm too poor/cheap to buy stuff from Google Play Movies, so I'd never have learned about this on my own. Fortunately this was my day off, so I was able to spend the afternoon chasing down this bug. Here's the fix - install it from Recovery:
sero7pro-video-drm-fix-dopa5-v1.0.zip
I'll repackage the main ROM in the near future to include this fix, but first I want to investigate a few possible problems I noticed while getting this fixed.

Every time you display the Performance page, it will restore all parameters to the values you set previously. If 'Speed Control' is enabled, it will reset the CPU & GPU speeds, overriding values set by some other app. Your best bet is to turn it off. If neither of the apps you mention knows how to set the GPU speed, you can do so temporarily from a terminal or permanently from an init.d script like so:
Code:
echo -n 1250 > /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_level # "1200" is 448mhz - "1250" is 520mhz
echo -n 1 > /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_state

Nope, not without extending the kernel's DVFS table further, then recompiling. Someone had it running at 1700mhz, but I'd consider that ..umm.. ill-advised for a chip that's intended to run at 1200-1300mhz.

Loving the first build. Very silky smooth speed and pretty stable as well as far as Lollipop is concerned at this point. As far as themes are concerned I haven't had too many issues using them on the current CM12 nightly for the Sero 7 Pro despite the DPI difference. Can't wait to see where this goes from here. Thanks for all the hard work! :highfive:

Well, on nVidia's page it recommend a maximum of 1.6 GHz, so 1.7 is not too much of an overboard if Hisense had built these units well enough. However, even with 1.5 GHz the chips is already running uncomfortably hot so it would be wise to back off from any higher clock. I do however think that the GPU of this tablet is a lacking a bit of oomph (ironically), is it possible to raise the clocks of the GPU beyond 520MHz? (granted that there would be a possibility of artifacts )

Being under that magic number of 10 posts, I couldn't post this in that main thread, and when I tried to post in the q&a thread where "reply" sent me, the forums bot catcher tripped me up.

To my knowledge, they don't, or at least I haven't figured that part out yet. Haven't figured it out in trickster mod either. I'll try the code. I only remember seeing one init.d file, does it matter where in that file I add the code?

The Tegra3 is a family of SoCs with models designed for mobile, automotive, and embedded use. Ours is the low-power mobile version. Some variants do have higher maximum clock speeds but they use more power at every frequency step than ours.
I do however think that the GPU of this tablet is a lacking a bit of oomph (ironically), is it possible to raise the clocks of the GPU beyond 520MHz?
Click to expand...

Possibly. The original overclock patch just upped the GPU speed to 520mhz without increasing the voltage any - and that seemed to work. When I rewrote the o/c code, I increased the voltage when running at 520mhz for what I considered solid reasons, Since it now has more power, I suspect I could up the speed somewhat without causing problems. However, even at a higher speed, it's still going to be an also-ran in today's market.

Having some other app set the CPU or GPU speeds isn't going to make it any more or less stable than having the built-in facility do it.
Be aware that if you're trying to use one of these apps to set the Interactive Governor's parameters, you're wasting your time. Not only does our Interactive Governor NOT work like you'd think - and not work like other implementations - it's totally ineffective. Every time the kernel brings another core online, it kicks all cores to the maximum allowed speed, totally sabotaging the governor's efforts. If you use Trickster to track the time at each speed, you'll see that the bulk of the time is spent either at very low speed or max speed, with all the intermediate speeds hardly used at all.
I only remember seeing one init.d file, does it matter where in that file I add the code?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Create a new file named, f'rinstance. "02gpuspeed". Put "#!/system/bin/sh" on the first line, then the code I provided on the following lines. The files will be executed in alpha-numeric order: 00banner, 02gpuspeed, 99SuperSUDaemon. Be sure to set its permissions to '755' so it is executable.

I pretty well figured that would be the case, but...
Based on my somewhat limited understanding ,If you have a utility in the Rom trying to manage the cpu speeds, and an app trying to do the same with me "choosing" to use the performance governor, conflicts are bound tio arise. Based on my pc understanding, conflict equals poor performance and instability.
And it was honestly one where I was using performance settings for the gpu, and then one of the other apps for the cpu.
So, I found that if I simply turned off the performance settings and lived with the lower gpu clock, my system ran stable. So I was asking about how to get the higher gpu clock without using the cpu overclock portion of the performance tab.
You pretty well answered that, and I thank you.
Now, do I need to include the bit in the code at the end of the first line where it says 1200 is 448, and 1250 is 520?
Also, I don't understand setting permissions to 755. I understand setting read, write, own, etc, but not 755, if that's the case, then what app do I use for that? I created the file as a blank text document on my tablet directly and input the code there, then rebooted. Or did I screw the pooch on that one?
Sadly, I know nothing about the individual governor settings within each governor configuration. Therefore, I figure that the wisest and safest course of action is to leave it alone. It's easier and safer to work with the stuff I DO know until I can get feedback and advice from someone who DOES know.
I realize that some of this may seem stupid to you, but it's the only way I know to learn.
I will make another post later when I have more time to comment on some other things I keep seeing and would like to know what to do there.

The CPU/GPU settings on the Performance page are set-and-forget values. They simply set the maximum speeds once bootup is done, and again when you display that page. They don't monitor anything - the CPU governor does that, and it is constrained by these settings. The corresponding settings in the other apps you've tried operate the same way.
You should be aware that the "performance" governor is really no governor at all. It simply sets the processor to the maximum permitted speed and never changes it. On the whole, this governor generates more heat than performance.
I found that if I simply turned off the performance settings and lived with the lower gpu clock, my system ran stable.

This strongly suggests that your device really can't handle the higher speed - at least when the CPU is running full-bore at all times. You may want to search for the postings in some of the early S7P threads where people described attaching copper foil to the SoC to dissipate excess heat.
do I need to include the bit in the code at the end of the first line where it says 1200 is 448, and 1250 is 520? Also, I don't understand setting permissions to 755.

Anything after a '#' in a shell script is a comment. As to '755', that's "read/write/execute" for the owner, and "read/execute" for the group and other users. Do a search for the 'chmod' command for more details on setting and interpreting Unix permissions.

Ok, that's fair enough.
Occasionally, I'll boot and get an error that the process called system is not responding and then it wants to know if I want to wait, or close it. It will do this every subsequent boot until I wipe cache and Dalvik (because I end up doing both out of habit) from recovery and then all is well again for several boot cycles where we start up again.
What am I missing here?

Are we free to discuss RRO theming for the S7P in this thread for now? I have been following BitSyko Development for a week or so and opted into the Layers beta and so on. I will be spending some time this week to figure this all out.

Since I'm not familiar with RRO theming how is this different from the themes released for say CM12 and the like?

Of course you're welcome to discuss RRO - especially since it gives me an opening to throw in my 2 cents
Runtime Resource Overlays provides a way to override and/or replace the "resources" (icons, layouts, colors, strings, and fixed values) that are built into an .apk file. Since the resources used by Android itself are packaged into an .apk, you can modify the OS as well as individual applications.
RRO has been around for a long time but no one other than Sony ever used it. BitSyko's greatest contribution has been to make people aware that it's a superior way to do theming which is already built into the OS and is fairly easy to use. Unlike CM's theme engine, no custom code is required.
Beyond that, their contribution is somewhat less revolutionary than their many admirers seem to think. Their efforts are directed primarily at ease of use. The Layers app is essentially a file manager that makes copying themes into place a bit easier. What the app does you can do yourself using ESFileExplorer or ADB (though without some niceties they've added).
Their tweaks to the OS are designed to make life a bit easier for themers by changing hard-coded color values into "symbolic references". In other words, rather than specifying the color for each checkbox, you say each one should be the "checkbox_color", then define what that means somewhere else. That way, rather than having to modify the color of many different checkboxes, you change the definition of "checkbox_color" once and they all become that color.
Now, as to what all this means to the Sero 7 Pro and the DoPa5 v1.0 ROM... I delayed the ROM's release for several days until I could get their patches in place and tested, so this facility is in there and ready for use. The problem is that none of the themes I've seen really support the S7P. Any color changes a theme makes will show up just fine (I'm using someone's orange theme currently). However, all the icons are targeted at higher resolution screens than ours, so the OS ignores them and uses the same ones it has always used. If you can find themes for the Nexus 7, or some of the older Asus or HP tablets that also have a 1280*800 screen (213dpi), they should work just fine.
FYI... if you want to install a theme without using Layers, create an 'overlay' directory in '/system/vendor' (i.e. '/system/vendor/overlay'). Next, get some theme packages from this thread and unzip them. Select the .apk files you want, copy them into the 'overlay' directory, then reboot. If you don't like the result, delete them and reboot again.

Perfect explanation @dolorespark on RRO. I'm hoping eventually some kind of dark holo blue theme is made for RRO as all I really need is the color scheme.

So you want black on holo blue aka 33b5e5? I'm going to make a white/pink themed for my daughter as its her tablet but I will see what I can do for you while I'm at it.

That would be amazing if you could. Here is an example of what I mean as well.

Pixel C Performance Modifications...

WARNING! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING DONE TO YOUR DEVICE. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Sup y’all!?! Just wanted to share these modifications. These are a collection of android mods that I have been using. Some are original and some are not. The attached ax562.zip contains files which need to be put in the corresponding directories with the corresponding permissions(Not recovery flashable!). I have also included FDEA.I magisk .zip module. This module is an Artificial Intelligence app. This is the first majisk module iteration of the .apk. Links to original works of some of these mods are listed below. Big shout out to followmsi, Feravolt, [email protected], the TWRP team and the LOS team!
PS. If anyone wants to help create a flashable .zip that would be great!
ALL THESE STEPS ASSUME YOUR ARE ON LINEAGE OS 18.1 AND USING MAGISK (They might work on other systems but I have not tested).
*
*
*
Steps:
1. Download and extract ax562.zip anywhere.
2. Copy /data and /system files to their proper locations and change permissions of all files to 755.
3. Copy contents of “build.prop” and put them at the end of /system/build.prop and save (might have to mount /system as rw).
4. In TWRP recovery, mount /vendor and replace /vendor/etc/mixer_paths_0.xml (I amplified the speaker output to 33, if too loud, adjust accordingly) with the mixer_paths_0.xml file provided.
5. Google “Chrome” users, in TWRP recovery, mount /vendor and rename /vendor/lib/libnvomx.so to “libnvomx.so.BAK”(This uses Google codecs instead of Nvidia codecs).
6. FDE.AI – I provided the majisk module in the ax562.zip for majisk users. Go into magisk and add the module manually. If you want to use only the .apk or want to dl the module directly, it’s available on Feravolt’s github page in releases (link below). I recommend "Performance mode", setting "Build Prop Tweaks: Nico's gpu tweaks" and finally executing "/aggressiveai on" in the "Elizabeth" AI Chat section. Lastly, I also recommend turning off "Battery Optimization" for the FDE.AI apk.
7. You can also update accordingly without needing to install a new "updated magisk module". The newest version is 12.6 which was released 10/26/21. I've tested this new version and it gives even more of a performance improvement. I did notice for about the first day of gaming it needs to machine learn but after it settles in, GREAT. There is a renamed function though, /aggressiveai does not exist anymore. Use "/advancedai on" to turn on this function. I also keep "Force Dozed Mode" active in the settings screen.

If anyone has any questions, wants to add a script, or has found an error/improvement I'm all ears!

I will try this when the July 2021 build comes out!

Word.

Updated instructions. Enjoy!

Seems to be working well! It's always hard to say how much of a perceived improvement is the latest ROM improvements vs the tweaks but it very much feels snappier and more able to switch from app to app without long pauses.

I see the app could just run on the device without the content in the zip you provided, may I ask what's the differences about using the files provided? Sorry if it's a silly question, I'm too noob to understand the instructions :'(

2. Some of my custom scripts plus other scripts to improve performance.
3. More custom build.prop commands to improve performance
4. Improve the sound by amplifying the output through the mixer_paths0.xml modification.
5. Using googles codes vs the nvidia codecs which are not supported for watching vids in chrome.
6. Installing FDEai.apk as root app through magisk module installation. This ensures that the app does what it's supposed to do like initialize on startup with root privileges etc. Hope that helps.

Just updated the OG post to be able to update the FDAI.apk. Sorry for the lag but I didn't know the apk would install properly as long as the FDAI magisk module was installed first. Enjoy!

How much does it improve by using these "TWEAKS" ? what about battery consumption? is it any higher?
I'm tempted to try it.

Honestly, I would say it's about 10-30% performance increase (most noticeable while gaming). The battery consumption is very efficient.

Any updates to this? With the more recent FDE updates advanced AI can only be enabled while using auto. Do your performance scripts still work on the most recent LOS? Ive been having heating issues trying to watch livestreams and I'm trying to figure it out

These mods were all tested on LOS 18.1 and do work. I am not on LOS 19 so I have not tested them on 19. I know FDEAI was updated recently and you could use the most updated APK found on his github above. I'm waiting for camera support to jump on LOS 19.
