True. But how can we manage battery on these things

True. But how can we manage battery on these things

I'm not sure there are many good tools for managing battery consumption...

The only suggestion as I can make is to check out Greenify... you might like it.

ShaunMT

P.S. Apps like Greenify may not work correctly considering Android doesn't properly report the correct battery level.

[mel4787]

Its OK for greenify

Big question, what have you deciphered and can we use the kernel built for this device for cm11? Reason is many androids have used stock kernels to boot custom roms

Big question, what have you deciphered

You are going to have be more specific. I don't know what you want to know...

and can we use the kernel built for this device for cm11? Reason is many androids have used stock kernels to boot custom roms

The stock kernel should work for any current Android build. (CM11, ParanoidAndroid, OmniRom, AOKP, etc...) The challenge is creating a device tree to build one of these ROMs for our device with all of the necessary drivers to support the various hardware components. We are part way there now that I have TWRP compiling successfully.

For the next book, what have you gathered on it? Do you have info on the next book to make a ROM yet

[shaunmt]

For the next book, what have you gathered on it?

Have you been reading the forums? I think I've shared everything I know...

Do you have info on the next book to make a ROM yet

I think you mean can I compile a non-stock based ROM from source or port one from another device. I think so, but it's going to require a lot time to setup, compile, debug, recompile, retest, etc... It's not a quick or easy process...

I understand. The help was great. Got all the answers I was looking for. So is twrp ready for testing

Not yet... soon I hope.

Right now, it doesn't support rockchip update images (yet) and the only way to switch between TWRP and stock recovery is to flash the recovery partition via one of the many PC rockchip flashing tools. Do you know how to do that?

After I make a few more changes, I'll be looking for a few people who want to test the normal TWRP features, while I work on porting the rockchip update image code to TWRP.

Hmm ik how to do that. I have a rockchip program to flash images. And twrp I will test it. But I like cwm better. Think you can port cwm as well

I wasn't planning on doing anything with CWM... have you tried OMA's CWM? I think his newest ROM dual boots both CWM and stock recoveries...

[mel4787]

Is it 4.4.2? I'll test his out but I like your ROM better

[shaunmt]

Is it 4.4.2? I'll test his out but I like your ROM better

I believe his is based on the stock 4.4.2 upgrade just like mine is.

[mel4787]

Besides the dual boot what are the differences between yours and his

Don't know... haven't used it...

I think he increased /data to 2GB and added some drivers for gamepad and vpn support.
