This would be a GREAT rom if we can work out the kinks.

I am downloading now, and will be testing this weekend.

I have yet to run logcat on the CX-919, but we will be in the dark without the logcat.

To use logcat you will need ADB. If you do not know what either is, google it ( I do not want to post links and break a forum rule ) .

Once you have ADB its easy as running this simple command to log to a file.

adb logcat > CX919LOGCAT.txt

I got it working by flashing a kernel from another rom, I just had to let it run for a couple minutes before i got anything on the display the first time but after that everything was fine.

Great!

I have yet to download / flash.

How did you go about flashing?Did you use the finlessflashtool? Which kernel was used ?

Screenshots?

On another note I've been thinking of ways of using the CX-919 on my laptop (for more convenient debugging) .

The only way I can think of, is running a VNC server on the CX-919 and using a VNC Client on the laptop.

I'll post my results

Well I have noticed a problem, i cannot for the life of me get the /sdcard to mount while using this rom, either in cwm or in android itself.

Finless, Oma over on XDA created a port of his oma rocks rom for the cx-919 however there seems to be some issues with it, it's in this thread here on post #511 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2310818

Personally though i'd be more interested if somebody could get his CM10 or CM10.1 (when it becomes available for download) ROM ported I was able to swap kernel and get his CM10 rom to boot but now wifi/bluetooth and also had the same problem with no /sdcard mounted.

I am 99.98% sure that I can get everything working on the CM10 ROM what is Oma7144 policy on porting ROMs. Is he a nice guy to deal with ???

[pivanov]

can anyone report if webcams work with that rom (that's all i need - don't care about video playback)

I had asked him if there was a chance for a port and basicly he just suggested that all that was needed was another kernel and a different wifi module to be loaded, so I don't think he'd have a problem with it.

He very friendly, sure he wouldnt mind. As long as credit is given.

He has several roms , one being the CM10. When asked to port for the cx-919 thought he would of ported AOKP or CM .

Hop on the thread mentioned above and check em' out.

[cityhunter]

I also don't think he would mind since the ROM he did make was 'in the dark' and he's said he doesn't have a cx-919 to test it on.

[sam321]

I will see if I can get everything working, If I can do it I will post over there so he knows what I am doing. Thanks for the info

Typically all Oma ROMs require patching the ROM with his NAND_Fix Patch. Generally using the RKBatchTool, you flash the ROM and then it immediately boots into CWM. From there, you flash the patch file. The easiest way to do this is to copy it to your external SD card, and then navigate to it within CWM and flash.

Can anyone tell me what kernal they are using with this ROM successfully. Also, it would be nice to know which ones have been tried so far.

BTW, you can obtain the NAND_fix patch file from here.No need to unzip, you need to flash it as a zip file.

I used the kernel from jjhmod and used the flashingtool included with the rom, flashed the rom and when it did not work flashed the kernel on top with the same tool, took a couple mins on boot for anything to show up but it worked fine after first boot.
