======================
DOVLESS - 1.09
USE BLUE DOWNLOAD BUTTON

http://www.file-upload.net/download-10167181/draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.7z.html

BUG IN ALL MY PREVIOUS RELEASES (UNTIL 21.01.2015)
IMG ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR "STARTUP MODE"
PHOENIXCARD CRASHES WHEN USING THIS MODE WITH MY PREVIOUS RELEASES

TO FIX YOUR IMAGE IN 3 STEPS:

Use imgRePacker_205 :

1) drag, "draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img" on "imgRePacker.exe".

2) delete ROM draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img.

3) drop your folder "draco_aw80_dovless_1.09.img.dump" on "imgRePacker.exe".

If problems with your SDCARD, format it using - "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3" (free tool, google it), then try again.


BACKUP/RESTORE SCRIPTS:
backup_restore_scripts.zip

TIPS FOR ADDED BENEFITS:
Get Rom Toolbox (lite / free version is sufficient)
and then, via "CPU" button set:

* IO Scheduler:noop
* governor:performance

Also change , via "SD Booster"
SD Card cache size to 2048 kb


apply all of these and set also to "apply on boot"


==> now also in "tronsmart" flavor:

DOVLESS-1.09 ROM : Information and features
==================
This rom contains the following modifications applied to Finless ROM 1.1 - BETA2:

1) OVERCLOCK:

-Modification of sysconfig1.lhs (sysconfig.fex / sysconfig.bin) to allow faster ram and cpu operations(672 MHZ vs 600 for RAM and 1800MHZ vs 1600MHZ for CPU).
[ATTACH=CONFIG]9723[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9722[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]9735[/ATTACH]
Please see dedicated section for changed content.

2) RESTORE USERDATA AND AUTO INSTALL OF ANY APK (YOU NEED A PREPARED USB KEY FOR THIS OPTION):

-Modification of preinstall.sh
Please see dedicated section for added content.

3) TWEAKS VIA SUGGESTED BUILD.PROP ADDITIONS (thx to 4pda.ru users)

-Modification of build.prop
Please see dedicated section for changed and added content.

4) (POSSIBLE) DEBLOATING see http://www.techknow.me/forum/index.php?topic=8476.0 & http://www.techknow.me/forum/index.php?topic=8476.0

-Removal of a softwinner.apk leftover (will not be able to use OTA online update system, which is not even running at the moment , so no loss, plus, would you trust these?)

5) REMOVED IN 1.07 because of XBMC add-ons incompatibilities

AD-BLOCKING

-Swapped hosts file with "(MoaAB) Mother of All AD-BLOCKING (12082014) (R2) Adware Malware Spyware Bloatware"
See below link for more details
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1916098

6) COSMETICS/DISPLAY TWEAKS & VISUAL CHANGES

-100%/FULLSCREEN by default: script to push settings to settings.db (NEED PRIOR ACCESS TO "SETTINGS MENU" TO WORK, QUICKLY ENTER SETTINGS ON FIRST BOOT)
-Changed bootlogo to neutral/anonymous img (I was mad/sad when users like my parents were cursing a this "Finless" box, cause Finless only made it better!)
-INVERTED: BOTTOM NAVIGATION BAR RE-ENABLED
USE ROM TOOLBOX TO DISABLE:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0 ==> SET TO 1 TO REMOVE BAR
-Changed bootanimation to minimalist looping google gears ==> animation is disabled by default
USE ROM TOOLBOX TO ENABLE :
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1 ==> SET TO 0 TO ENABLE ANIMATION
-*Tried to add a boot.wav imported from ubuntu's boot sound (ubuntu7) ==> not working at the moment

==================
Archive content
==================
The archive your downloaded should contain the following files:
1) draco_aw80_dovless.XX.img The ROM file: the img you will need to flash your box with

*** Scripts will now be uploaded separately to 1st post
2) ==> USE THIS WITH ROM TOOLBOX TO BACKUP YOUR XBMC PREFS
data_backup.sh A rudimentary script to launch on your old setup, to backup all your /sdcard/Android/data/" application folders to your usb key


3) data_restore.sh (NOT NEEDED) Another rudimentary script to copy your data.tar backup from a pre-defined location (your usb key) into and extraction into correct folder

==================
Installation ==> DO NOT RUSH AND FLASH THE IMG WITHOUT READING THE BELOW:
==================
Sequence to follow:

1) backup desired settings from previous running ROM:
2) prepare USB key following the given naming convention and directory structure
3) flash rom
4) insert USB key
5) 1st boot, all will be installed/performed silently
6) wait until box reboots (automatically)
7) enjoy

==================
USBKEY root directory structure for automated restoring/installation
==================
0) this rom can make use of a USB key with in root folder at least a directory called "settings"
1) prepare your USB key with desired files, following this naming/structure convention:

ROOT:

[B]data.tar[/B]        (edit the raw backup made by data_backup.sh to only contain desired folder,) (useful for XBMC/KODI/TVMC/SPMC add-ons and settings restore)
   [B] /preinstall/[/B]mynamedoesnotmatter.apk
    /preinstall/anynameaswell.apk
    /preinstall/etc....apk
    [B]/settings/[/B]com.android.settings_preferences.xml
    /settings/accounts.db
    /settings/wpa_supplicant.conf

WHERE:

"data.tar" is your backup TAR file of "/sdcard/Android/data/" application folders (XBMC/KODI for example), can be created with provided script
"preinstall" folder contains your APKs
"settings" folder contains your desired preferences files (UI, accounts & Wifi are supported at the moment, see above naming requirements)

==================
BOOT FREEZE?
==================
0) IF BOOT SEEMS TO FREEZE DURING ANIMATION
a) DO NOT RESTART OR UNPLUG IT, DONT PANIC, IT IS STILL WORKING
b) GRAB YOUR REMOTE CONTROL, CHANGE VOLUME, PRESS BACK KEY ONCE OR TWICE, YOU SHOULD SEE LAUNCHER[/CODE]

Thank you for your efforts...I am downloading now...If I choose not to do #2, I can just flash the image and still reap the benefits of the other 5 ie. speed boost, build prop. tweaks, etc...correct?? By the way, COSMETICS/DISPLAY should be #6

Thank you for your efforts...I am downloading now...If I choose not to do #2, I can just flash the image and still reap the benefits of the other 5 ie. speed boost, build prop. tweaks, etc...correct?? By the way, COSMETICS/DISPLAY should be #6

the bare minimum is a USB key, properly formatted with a "settings" folder in it,

because of the below code, used to ensure script runs ONLY when the key is inserted and not before, will only continue once the key & folder have been detected.

PENDRIVE='/mnt/usbhost0/settings'
    while [ ! -d "$PENDRIVE" ]; do
        sleep 10
    done

until then, the below portion of the "preinstall.sh" script will not be ran:

Thanks GJayJayG and Bob of course

In and running looking good.
Did not use the backup/restore script at present, but looks like a good plan, used Titanium.

Testing time

Cheers



Netflix on full screen percent has the Horizon Lines(day one Issue), also menu
Noticed the Blurred line at bottom while Netflix getting up to speed.

Did not see any boot animation(must be to quick)

[Zahir]

Can someone please upload the rom to a different site? The 180Upload link seems surrounded by some Adware stuff, and I can't get past it to download.


Update: Thank you, Trebor..

[GJayJayG]

Thanks GJayJayG and Bob of course
[...]Did not see any boot animation(must be to quick)

thank you, regarding the animation, it is in there, just disabled.

build.prop

debug.sf.nobootanimation=0    (SET TO = 1 TO ENABLE BOOT ANIMATION)

[trebor]

Is set to 1, Must be way fast...

I get the full moon rising Blank screen for ~5 secs then loaded

Cheers

I'm way too tired, apparently I cannot even read back the value...

debug.sf.nobootanimation=0 ==> if it is set to 1 then it DISABLES boot animation.

MY BAD, MY BAD; MY BAD, I stand corrected.

Try 0, it should work.

Cheers

[trebor]

I just put to zero to see and well looky there it is...
No worries cheers

May I ask some users to share back Antutu results?

[trebor]

AnTuTu V5.5 54300 1st run

55744 2nd run

[GJayJayG]

Wow, that seems quite good no?

[trebor]

Wow, that seems quite good no?

Yes

1st was 1080p
2nd test 720p
3rd test just then 53043 1080p

Zahir had one the other day over 60k.
If that means anything in the real world, I guess there just numbers.

But the performance of this ROM is very snappy and clean

Excellent
