Important notes:
1. If you want to say "Thanks!"
There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:
Press the "Thanks" button.
Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
Advertise my work to your friends.
Rate my thread with 5 stars.
Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!
2. Sharing policy
This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:
Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
Give proper credits for what you used.
When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.
Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:
ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.
Please let me keep my threads design unique. I’m sure you can do something even better yourself!
3. Support
If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to post them in the respective thread. Due to my commitments in real life I can't answer every PM, tweet or facebook post.
If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.
4. Signature banners for users
Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.
Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).
Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!
Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!
Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.
Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.
Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!

Performance Tweaks for Android Revolution HD
data_writeback journalism for /system, /data and /cache partitions.
This mod will turn ON data_writeback for all 3 partitions - system, data and cache. This will drastically improve I/O performance (mostly on write operations) at the expense of file system integrity in certain situations, like unexpected system shutdown. The risk is not extreme, but still bigger then regular. Use this to improve your system performance, but you flash it at your own risk!
Download here:
Android Revolution HD EXT4 Tweaks v.0.1
Force GPU rendering on 2D operations.
This mod is working similar to "Render GUI with GPU" option in Development Settings. Flashing this will force whole system to use GPU rendering (instead of CPU) for all kind of 2D/3D operations. This might improve 2D operations performance, but keep in mind that some apps are not working correctly with GPU rendering. After using this mod you no longer need to tick "Render GUI with GPU" in settings. Even if un-ticked it will be still working. Flash it at your own risk!
Download here:
Android Revolution HD GPU Rendering v.0.1

Q 2: My Premium Navigation doesn't work correctly. What should I do?
A: Your Premium Navigation may not work correctly for many reasons. Most of them are not ROM related. You can try the following things:
- reinstall your Locations under "Settings" ---> "Locations"
- remove /sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary from your SD card
- re-download Google Maps from the Android Market
- clear data from Google Maps in system software management
Q 3: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.

Mac users can use the repair function of the MacOS disk utility to solve the read only problem (Thanks to Calimero1205).
Q 7: My CPU load is all the time nearly 100% and in most part it's used by system. What is the reason of that high CPU usage and how can I fix it?
A: Delete your htcsense.com account. It takes A LOT of your battery and CPU usage.

Q 8: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.
Q 9: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

Q 10: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
A: Please reinstall SetCPU.
Q 11: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?

Q 12: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.
If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.
Q 13: When I listen to music from HTC stock player it accidentally pauses for short time and then keep playing.
A: Turn OFF fastboot in settings.

Q 16: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.
Q 17: I have com.htc.bgc process force close few times a day. How can I fix it?
A: It's because you have removed HtcTwitter.apk (HTC Twitter application). Please restore it.

Click to collapse
Q 18: My screen-lock sound and keypad sound while dialing numbers is very low. How can I fix it?
A: Download "Quick Settings" application from Android Market and check system volume slider.
Q 19: When I open up the call screen (where I see the recent calls and callers), the calls won't appear in the list. What to do?
A: Probably you are using 3rd party launcher. Remove the dialer shortcut and re-add it.

Q 20: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.
You think you're addicted from flashing ROMs, checking forum the whole day and you feel like "Android" should be your second name? Well, here's something for fun

If both devices have the same hardware then you will be able to flash it.

I think the only difference between the one x+ and the one xl+ is the modem, the one x+ has an intel chip and one xl+ has a qualcomm icera chip. Other than that the phones should have identical hardware.

Then you will surely need two separate roms.

Unless someone writes a script than can identify the 2 different devices and pushes the correct kernel/libs to the device. I've seen similar methods for devices that have GSM/CDMA variants.

Correct, it's quite easy actually. But the size of ROM will increase and the hard part is that usually it's not just a kernel and few bins/libs. Those are also carrier related and sometimes signed .apk files.
Mike, any luck in breaking the rom's protection?
HTC is really screwing with us.

Nope. But there is a workaround
Closing
Hey Mike, I have closed thread to avoid cluttering before you place the ROM.
Let me know whenever you need it open.
ROM will be out today, it's almost ready
Hi Mike,
In the "You Need" section, firmware package is mentioned. Does that refer to the boot.img or is it something that we need to flash at a later stage?
Using CID Getter app, it displays my CID as VODAP001.
Thanks

I want to learn how to develop and port ROMs like porting of new AOSP builds to xperia series ... can anyone refer me to some materials to get started , assuming i have just started second year of computer science engineering.
Please only helpful comments and no mockery.

Skills required:
- C
- Java
- Git
- Bash
- Brain + Google
Simplified vision of android:Hardware < Kernel Linux < Hardware Abstraction Layer < Android
Porting: Working kernel + HAL
Tips & Tricks:
- Hack current projects. This way allow you to learn and not care about unnecessary stuff e.g. If I improve Ambient Sensor Light driver, is not necessary that I understand how is working android build system.
- Logcat

Hi guys
I am new to android and i need some help. Apologies if i have posted this in the wrong place.
I manufacture and supply large touch screens to special needs schools and in the past i have used multitouch overlays that came with a mini pc android called istick by PQ Labs that were coded to work as multi touch. now i have changed touch panel product i need an android pc to work with it.
I am thinking of using a MK809iv and the company that supplies the overlay has sent me the mods that need to be made to the kernel but i have no idea how to do this.
Here is what they sent me.
Transplanting under Android4.0 For IRMT Multi Touch Frame Driver V1.1
The following method is suitable for the kernel which above Linux 3.0, we take an example of Kernel 3.08.
1. Add manufacturer ID and Device ID in the 352st line of “drivers/hid/hid-ids.h”
#define USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH 0x23c9
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL 0x5666
2. Add device according to put the following program in the 669st line of “/drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c”
/* IRM Multi-touch panel */
{ .driver_data = MT_CLS_CONFIDENCE,
HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH,
USB_DEVICE_ID_ IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL) },
3. Add special protocol support in the 1392st line of “drivers/hid/hid-core.c”
{HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH, USB_DEVICE_ID_IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL) },
4. Configuring the kernel. (menuconfig)
Firstly enter Device Drivers, then enter HID Devices ,then select Special HID drivers. Build-in HID Multitouch panels . ( select “*” )
Save and exit.
5. Compile the kernel and update the mirror of android 4.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Ty
I suppose you already solved the problem or left it, anyway thanks for pasting the info, very usefull to modify the kernel to support this IRM Touch.
Regards
