Development stopped

As you may have noticed, I have stopped the development of Android ROMs for the last months. I think it's time to move on onto new objectves and thus leave the development CM ROMs. The las progress made is pushed up to the Github repositories.  For the part of CyanogenMod 7.2, video recording quality has been fixed, along with USB tethering. Psyke83 is doing a very good work keeping CM11 updated, and I will help him keeping XDA and all the support questions there. Latest sources of CM7/CM9 are found at: https://github.com/broadcomcm Latest sources of CM11 are found at: https://github.com/androidarmv6 If someone was following me on Xperia SP threads, Spacecaker has made a new ROM for it (as he have the device as well!) and you should try it! I've already selled my Xperia SP and now I am enjoying a Oneplus ONE. I hope we (me and my team) had brought to you funny moments and a longer life to your phone. I expect you all to have learnig something from all of it! Have

It has been a long time

Well, I've been on vacation this last month. I went to Denmark at first and then moved some weeks to the beach of my country (Spain), where I'm actually wirtting this on the hotel PC. Our team has decided to make some changes to the ROMs we are actually supporting. That's sad and also a good new too. So this is our plan: CyanogenMod 7.2 and AOSP 2.3.7 will get ONE more update. This update will include lots of changes, but I'm sad it won't be called final, as we couldn't manage to fix ALL bugs, but of course it will be a stable release. CyanogenMod 9.1 will be updated probably once per month / two months with CyanogenMod 11.0 changes cherrypicked. Main CyanogenMod 9.1 goal is to fully port psyke83 audio libraries into ICS. Then, we will be updating the ROM with CM11 changes. After all of this has been made, CyanogenMod 11.0 will be the main ROM development, as androidarmv6 has finally adapted whole BroadcomCM sources and imrpoved them with mine, psyke83

Busy with personal stuff, but realted to android!

Image
Well, these days my activity here was not as often as it was. That's because I am at the moment, and I will be for the next two weeks a but busy the whole day. An entreprise for Barcelona watched my work at github, and they reached an agreement with my school to develop its android application. This is part of my school formation, but I should be proud of it, as they wathced all my work made for all devices on github, and they realise I could do that. Here there is an image of one of the awsome roms I work on: So, that is taking mostly all day, and when I get home, I haven't any desire to develop again android, just want to disconnect a bit. So sorry, but I will be a bit out of android development. The entreprise I'm working on is called DEXMA TECH, and here is their website: http://www.dexmatech.com/ Quick update though, CM9 is, YES, getting even more stable, and alse, we have some surpirses for CM7, but still need to polish them.

SIM card problems for CM11

As far as I can see there is many people with those errors on SIM card. It is weird, but I will try to debug them as soon as I can. I have not tested yet SIM card on it, and as you may know this are ALPHA builds of CM11. Of course don't expect a working perfect ROM! Instead though, CM9 is working so much better than this CM11. Why because between CM9 and CM11 there are nearly 2 years! And devices has improved alot since then. Just test for have fun, take a screen and come back to your ROM. They are ALPHA builds!

Installation procedure CM11

I've seen many people having problems installing CM11 and this is due to a few things. First of all Kitkat needs a CWM 6 to install it and this is why we created Temp. CWM6. The second error is "Status 7". This is due to the update script, as CM parses kind of a security test to know if your device is really the device it should be. assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "totoro" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "totoro" || abort("This package is for \"totoro\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\"."); Unlucky our device does not have this property on a stock ROM, so here it comes the Status 7 error. So, installation instructions are easy, but you need to be carefully. Download the ROM from androidarmv6 download site  Download this template or take a kernel flash zip. Add the boot.img of the ROM you downloaded to the template. Inside the
