If that's a screenshot of your phone, I highly suggest you take it down and remove your ESN from it.

Has anyone installed this yet? Can we confirm GPS works with it?
I would'nt mind going back to an offical release, as GPS is the only reason I unlocked in the first place...

Instead of waiting to hear if it works, I decided to quit being a sissy bed-wetter and try it myself.
What I had before:
A telus p4000, with bootloader 2.40-olipro, DCD 3.2.5, and radio 3.42.50.
All of this was done simply to enable GPS. It was the only thing that I found lacking.
What I did:
I didn't try to relock, or anything like that. I simply connected my phone to USB and my computer, and applied the new Telus/HTC update by double clicking on it and letting it run. The update contains a radio (3.42.40) as well.
What I have now:
Still have the 2.40 bootloader, TELUS rom 3.54.661.1, Telus Radio 3.42.40
What works:
In short, everything.
GPS works (finds me in less than 60 seconds, without QuickGPS loaded, in the house)
REV A - I get over 1016kbps on www.dslreports.com/mspeed using PIE. Fastest I have ever gotten it.
Memory usage - this rom is bloated full of everything Telus and HTC could throw at it. A ton of stuff starts up on the today screen during first boot. But memory manager still reports 24 MB availible to the user on start. Impressive if you ask me.
New Stuff:
This is stuff I've never seen in a Rom before today.
Task Manager Icon - top right corner of today screen / start bar. Lets you kill a process on the fly.
Click and hold X - Lets you KILL the app, not just put it in the background.
Some other stuff I'm sure, I'll try to update as I find more.
All in all, seems to be a pretty good, not to mention stable.

I unfortunately cannot second Phyber0ptik's success.
I approached it differently though. I put the phone back into its WM 6.0 stock format and then went ahead and did the upgrade to 6.1. After installing GoogleMaps and trying to locate myself the screen continues to look and look and look for satellites with no success.
Could anyone provide some insight as to the differences between our experiences? I could fathom a guess that since Phyber0ptik did not go back to stock, his GPS was left unlocked for the new software flash and thus it all worked. But I could be off here.
Ideas?

That's not the case at all. The hardware is not "locked." The GPS was inaccessible in other ROMs due to drivers not being included into the OS ROM. There is no need to "downgrade" ROMs to "unlock" such hardware.
Sorry, a bit rushed but it can be device dependant and possibly require a bit of a wait the first time to download the ephemeris data. Forum searches will return the many past similar experiences of other members.

Just wondering, but did you check to ensure that location based services were turned on? They were on mine, but possibly not on yours? The new TELUS rom also includes a today plug in to turn GPS on and off, signified by a little target. Maybe it got turned off?

did you let the customizations run on the new telus ROM? i havent looked, but i'm sure it updates your PRI, which affects GPS.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the input. The device I'm going to guess is the same seeing as we're both upgrading our P4000's. But it's neat to know it's not the hardware that's specifically locked.
I know that one doesn't need to downgrade to update but I thought I'd provide a different perspective for those coming right from the stock 6.0
I did have the Location Setting set such that the GPS was on and I did let the customizations run.
Weird...
I'm going to try again.
Thanks!

I let my customizations run, as I'm a Telus subscriber, and the rom was specifically designed for my phone.

good to hear I don't have to relock my phone to take upgrade.... will try in a few days ... when not so busy and not in need of my phone incase something goes wrong...
Just question when I decide to try it.. will I still be able to put dcd 3.2.5 back on without unlocking it installing radio etc.... if I don't like it?
Sad note though.... I guess we're not the special few Telus users with GPS enabled P4000... Oh well I always prided myself with the knowledge that we took the time and made the effort to get it done....

installed flawlessly here overtop a 3.42.50 radio and 3.2.5 based rom...
wow, there's a lot of crap that Telus puts in there... i'll be going back to a cooked rom very soon i think...
Bluetooth looks to be updated! There's a new Bluetooth Explorer that adds Bluetooth devices to the File Explorer... FTP is also supported via BT

Hmm...so I've realoaded Radio 3.42.50 and DCD 3.2.5 and I'm not having any luck at all. Really really strange stuff here as Googlemaps just seems to keep on searching for satellites and just isn't finding anything.
----intermission-----
You know...it's the weirdest thing. I was outside not getting anything at all so I fiddled with some of Google Maps options. I pressed the 'Reset Google' option and all of a sudden everything came back. I have no idea what changed as an option like this isn't something I would expect to fix it. Never the less. Back in business.

After looking at this new load some more, I'm with Rawr...there's far too much stuff on here. Memory is 22.90MB free on boot but there just seems to be a lot of extra bloatware added on. All the best to you if you like the new stuff and I'm glad Telus came on board with 6.1. But I'm headed back to dcd

Very Surprised... And disappointed...

I recently switched to Sprint and opted to buy the Mogul as opposed to the Touch thanks to the larger ROM space but was shocked and disappointed in the lack of activity and ROM development here as opposed to the over in the Wizard Forum where I came from. It seems that almost once a week a new ROM is released for the Wizard but here in the Titan forum there is next to none. I have only seen a few custom ROMs and some of the problems I have read about and this only discourages me from wanting to update. I really liked having the HTC Touch look and feel built into ROM on my Wizard but because noone seems to want to create a ROM for the Titan that has the same total look and feel, I had to search for applications to add to my Mogul to give it that same look because of this my RAM is very limited and cannot run very many applications at the same time without having serious lag or having to soft-reset because of lock ups thanks to low virtual memory.
Aren't there any master chefs out there that can cook up something for the mogul that have the COMPLETE touch look?

I know there are several different carriers and that these are CDMA devices but isn't there a way to create a universal ROM for all of the carriers that will adapt to whatever settings you need as seen for many other phones?
Or creating ROMs for a specific carrier that can be used on other carriers models with only minor customization?
For example: Create a ROM that is designed to work for the Sprint Mogul only to maintain Sprint's connection settings and not have to re-configure the device after a ROM upgrade but also have smaller packages that can adapt that ROM to other carriers?
I would say that this is just food for thought. ​
Hey man, welcome! You made the same move I made. You forget it took us a while to get good roms for the Wizard too, but we finally got them. This forum is a lot younger than the wizard, and I think it will eventually get to the same spot.
We didn't even have a custom rom available at all a while back, but now thanks to some gifted individuals we have several to choose from.
Just be patient, new things come every day
I'm really looking forward to it.
Trade in your Mogul for a Touch and you will be happy....
Mogul hasn't been around for too long and you are expecting too much too soon.

I'm not following your logic here. The Touch is a newer device than the Mogul!
my kitchen and dogguys kitchen are available, all the tools exist, nothing is stopping anybody.
two of your screenshots of what you want came from my custom rom post. everything is out there and the roms that have been put together by different people just dont 100% suit what you personally want. you should try a kitchen.
im playing with the idea of a touch rom. but you guys should be able to make anything you want.

Yes my goal is to make the Mogul look like the Touch because personally I am not satisfied with the lack of device storage on the Touch. If I was to trade in my Mogul for the Touch I would be downgrading to virtually the same exact thing I had before, a Wizard which has 128Mb of ROM and 64Mb of RAM... Not interested...
I enjoy having a larger device storage and if it is possible to have the Touch look and maintain my 256Mb of device memory that would be great.
Unfortunately I do not have the kitchen skills nor do I really have the Mogul skills yet. I just recently upgraded like a week ago not even and came over to this part of the forum seeing as I no longer have a Wizard but a Titan. Ask me a question about the Wizard and odds are I could answer you but I'm totally new to the Titan board and was just shocked that there wasn't really too much going on. Thats all.
I have that total Touch look already, but they're all 3rd party apps installed and it just hogs up space and slows down the device. If they were in ROM already, I wouldn't have that problem. Not to mention that having a larger device memory, the Titan could probably smoothly handle a 16Mb pagepool with no problem and with the 400MHz processor it would be stupid fast and thats just how I like it. Not having it slow down to a crawl and having to soft-reset every 12 hours...

before everybody jumps on you...the touch has 128mb ram
i do understand your reasoning, i made a rom today that is 'touch style', the only issue i have is that the cube interferes with calibration. it works if you disable the welcome screen, otherwise hangs there. i need to make it boot and let u calibrate, then put the cube files in startup, and i have a game to watch in a little bit maybe this weekend i will throw it together if i am bored...but the different touchflo/cube distributions out there are very rapidly updated and its pointless to try and widely support a tf/cube rom. if i post you a rom its just some thing i threw together.
however this is my point again, the stuff is out there for the titan and anybody can throw together any rom they want any time. i think right now you see less activity on this device because most of the people working on it are more focused on improving the OS before making it fancy. i think most people are playing around with a few wm6 versions and will settle on one (or just use whatevers newest), eventually qualcomm will put together better display drivers, htc will improve bt drivers...

I am not disagreeing with you because I just did some looking on eBay for the Touch through Sprint but I have seen so many sellers saying it only has 128Mb of ROM and 64Mb of RAM but then some others say that the memory is double that, which compliments what you just said. I don't know. I've never played with a Touch but will have the chance in like a week because my store is getting them in soon.
EDIT:
I have found some disputing evidence to what you have told me in the form of an official review. Click HERE for the link.
Armed with a 201MHz TI OMAP850 processor and 128MB ROM/64MB RAM, general operation was a tad slow. With about 12MB of free program memory, there was often a few-second delay when opening applications. At first we thought our device just didn't register our touch commands, but it was really a performance issue. Launching any of the multimedia functions really did a number on the Touch, as the screen sometimes froze midway between the music player and menu screen. This happened on a number of occasions, and got to be quite frustrating.

This quote is located under performance in the link above. If this is wrong and the HTC Touch that Sprint in the United States is selling is in fact double what that quote says then I will stand corrected.

It's wrong. The Sprint CDMA Touch (HTC Vogue) does indeed have 2x CPU and 2x memory compared the GSM Touch.

Thats nice and all but not entirely what I am looking for. Until I can upgrade the RAM in my device(which I discovered is nearly impossible), I would much rather just have a Touch style ROM for my Mogul. I like the Touch but I prefer devices with that nice, convenient, easy to use qwerty keyboard and unfortunately the Touch doesn't have that nice, easy to use, convenient feature and the Touch Dual is WAY out of my price range for now. Not to mention from all of the threads I have read they are GSM only and Sprint is CDMA so I couldn't use it if I could afford it.
would you mind linking me to the installation cab(s) for the cube you do have in mind then?
you mention in post 1 that you already have your phone setup with the applications pictured in screenshots installed..i see the cube.
Actually it was just a cab that I found here on the forum. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343583) it was kinda buggy and I didn't really like it that much but it was something.

Hey GC, a hypothetical verizon rom question.

I am not asking you to divulge any info that your verizon source asked you to keep quiet. Nothing will make your insider info dry up faster than this. We all respect this.
However, hypothetically speaking, what would the advantages be to using verizon's upcoming rom/radio vs DCD's latest and greatest. We already have gps, great speed (although I don’t think I'm getting rev A speed), and stability.
I cringe at the thought of having to reflash and spent hours reloading all my programs if there are no clear benefits, except it being from verizon.
I echo the sentiments of allenfdavis:
GC14 - can you update the first message in the thread you started with verizon indicating advantages / disadvantages of moving to the Verizon ROM?
DCD / GC14 - I'd love to see a sticky thread with a message that covers the links to the latest kitchen, the most critical additional CABs, and news of Verizon / Sprint feature support.
There are no advantages.
I, for one, will not be using the Verizon update. The main purpose it's going to serve is new drivers, new packages, and HOPEFULLY with some work, a Verizon Wireless PDE location server IP/Port.
I guess it also will come in handy if you have to replace your device...no more having to relock and go back to stock...just reflash the update.

Mods please close the thread.....

Hi hkwildboy,
Great appreciation to hkwildboy discovering such an solution for quick GPS locking ........ & here is a CAB who find difficulty in editing Reg edit......
Mod's just for an awareness among all members i created new thread as this is a most essential part (GPS locking) most people complain of......
As per the feed back from senior's i came to know that the cab i attached was not working so please forgive me ...this thread will be closed.
Is the cab uninstallable?

I'm trying it out on AT&T Fuze with Shep's 3g. I'm indoors and cannot get a fix with the standard setup. Outdoors I usually get a fix within a minute or so. I will report if this improves my experience later this evening.
Thank you for sharing this.
no feed bscks
With admitted limited use, I would tend to confirm reduced lag. I was not able to get locks indoors at home or at work either with or without the cab installed so no improvement there. The lag reduction alone makes the cab worthy of install however, as I must also admit to seeing no ill/adverse effects from the install. Thanks for the heads up.

the cab does only help in speed lock of gps , would not help at places where you are not exposed to open space to get sat signals also depends on radio as well, i am residing at place where i do not get a proper signal...can't expect gps to work.
Does it also reduce lag or was that my imagination? I didn't think it could do anything for signal, but I know many woould like to see an answer to that question. Thanks again for making us aware.
Well I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but you do realize that both 5.08 and the new 5.10 Raphael drivers have already addressed the lock-on/aGPS issues, right ????
All you need is a newer radio, and those new drivers. Any ROM here on XDA has those drivers implemented by now.
This file/reg tweaks are really only useful if you're still running the stock ROM. In which case, how much use are you REALLY getting out of XDA ????
In any case, this fix is for stock ROM's. if you're running NATF, or Energy, or ROMeo's, or Da_G's custom ROMS, the fix for this has already been done, on the HTC side.
I'm running 6.5, and since aGPS is actually working, I'm getting locks in under 15 secs, in under 5 if I'm already connected to the internet.

I don't want to get into any theological debate over the good and evil of it, but there's a lot of people who, for various reasons, are stuck using the stock roms or they are too fearful of flashing.
Just an example, a buddy of mine works for AT&T. One of AT&T's policies (like every other major carrier) is to hand out different handsets to the employees so that they can become familiar with them. Next month he's supposed to sample the Fuze. These types of fixes will actually be pretty useful to him for the purpose of making the fuze realistically functional.

I understand where you're coming from. However, most of XDA's fame and notoriety came from ROM's. Nowadays, it has fixes/updates to things, but at its core, its a place for custom ROMs for HTC phones.
BTW, I should have clarified. AT&T released an official, updated ROM for the Fuze. It, among other things, addressed this issue. So if someone is scared to run a custom ROM, they can always just flash to the official update, and still, problem solved with aGPS.
I have worked for AT&T, so I now the specific program you're referring to. By now, all Fuze's should be shipped with latest update. And even if not, its not very hard to flash to something he likes, and then flash it all back to stock when he needs to turn it in....
And btw, not every carrier does that. At least, not the one I work for now....

I may be mistaken, as I only spent a few minutes looking, but I can't find an officially released rom update for the Fuze anywhere on HTC or AT&T's site. AT&T's support FAQ claims there's no updates yet. Assuming these sites aren't misrepresenting the facts, I'm pretty sure you're mistaking the firmware update with the Leaked version here: A-GPS works in 5.08 leaked AT&T ROM. Keep in mind, that version leaked less than 6 weeks ago and AT&T is famously slow to release.
You're picking at exactly the point I said I didn't want to get into, that we shouldn't be discussing "To Flash or Not To Flash". Fact is that there's some people who can't...or won't...flash their phones, but installing a cab that notably improves GPS performance with minimal (at this point, virtually zero) risk is surely good for them. There's no reason to knock a good solution if it exists. My point is, XDA isn't just about the latest ROMs, and from the reading I've been doing on here for the last couple of years, I don't believe it's ever been just about the roms.
I'd be willing to bet there's going to be a fair number of people getting use out of this fix. Nearly 300 downloads in just the last 3 days, I suspect at least 10% of those downloaders are getting a lot out of XDA without using a custom rom. In other words, cut these guys some slack, they're doing good work even if it doesn't apply to the majority.

in which way did it worked well? i know it is for faster gps locks.
But can you be more concrete?
thanks
I dont suppose this also corrects the gps satellite bars for signal not showing does it ?
(IE TomTom , Igo , and a few others dont report the signal strength )
Thanks Much
GSM Raphael owners take note!
pretty funny. Also a good indication of the subjectivity of this problem and the power of the "placebo effect".
Sorry to say, but this cab really doesn't do anything. It sets pollinterval to 500 which is below the 1 second chip update capability. Da_G demonstrated the ineffectiveness of this. Pollinterval should be 1000. Also this cab sets the logs to 32, another setting that has been proven ineffective.
To fix the missing satellite display, TomTom must be upgraded to v7.910.9185.
There is an AT&T test ROM underlying acquisition time fixes to the GPS system. This correctly enables AGPS resulting in consistent 15 second lock times. It has no effect on position lag.
If you really want to understand GPS issues you must patiently read through the entire mammoth thread located in the raphael forum titled "touchpro GPS lag problems". Switch to the forum and sort by views. It is one of the most viewed threads there. It describes in great detail the various GPS issues starting on about post 300. Videos and real cabs containing tested tweaks are there too.
Here is your quiz. Once finished reading you will be able to easily understand and differentiate between these:
what is position lag?
what is speed lag?
what is a cold start, warm start, hot start?
what is ephemeris and how does AGPS affect this?
how does AGPS differ from QuickGPS?
Why does AGPS have no effect on either lags?
More importantly, you will understand exactly what you need to do to turn your Raphael into one of the absolute best handheld GPS devices out there.
Or, you could just load one of the fixed ROMs and run TomTom v7.910.9185 (yes, position lag is partially based on the navigator you are using)

Hi Sir, May be i was wrong as i am not a technically sound person about the mobile working.....if you really believe this cab doesn't have helped any one or doesn't help any way....please close the thread.....once it is done i will delete the cab too. I don't want to waste many people time & useless long thread with out working fix.........
By the way it is been mentioned that this cab act as an tweak to get quick satellite fix not to correct a lagging problem ....
Please close this thread if possible or delete the thread itself Thank you

[Q] I know i'll get flamed... but

can someone please help me understand the major issues of porting android to the hd2? devs from htc can obviously get android running perfectly across numerous hardware platforms, so why is it so hard for anyone to port any version of android to the hd2 without some type of bug or problem? you can flame me all you want I just want to know what the major hurdles are so I can have a better understanding. Is it that HTC doesn't give you guys enough info on the hardware? is htc purposely holding back info from you guys so it's impossible to succeed? The hd2 has been out for ages and as far as I know, there is not one 100% fully working port of sense or stock froyo to the hd2 that I have seen.
It says right at the top of the forum.

You have no idea how much work is involved in porting over an operating system, or creating drivers from scratch. You sound like an ignorant moron, and that is not me flaming you, but being honest.
I have a 100% working version of Android on my HD2, and I have had it for more than 2 months now. You're probably just doing it wrong, because you have failed to read the stickies.

Good luck.
Custom drivers to initialize the hardware. The problem is that when you don't have the proper hardware schematics or internals, you have to write them from scratch and/or piece code together in order to get it to work.
The main issue is around creating things from scratch at times - very hard to do when you don't have the hardware particulars to build the code from.
Make sense? It's NOT an easy process at all. And yes, the hardware IS different between a lot of the phones. Anything from screens to CPU's to antennae configs, etc.
No idea what are you talking about, I am using Mdeejay Froyo Sense 2.4 and it is working 100% for me, every function i use on a daily basis works as well as when my HD2 was running WM if not better. As mentioned in the replies above, read, search if you feel your Android isnt working to your liking. If you do not understand how difficult it is to port an OS onto a device, research about it and you will understand these devs have done so much in such a short time and they rival any group of highly-skilled SW engineers that any tech company would love to get their hands on.

so you're telling me you have 100% working version as original as far as battery drain, tethering, camera, wifi, boot time, call quality, etc etc? if so, which one is that? seems I missed it somehow.

then it sounds to me like HTC is crazy, why would they change each hardware so much and have to re-invent the wheel constantly?
If u read my last reply in a previous post, NO QUESTION IS A DUMB ONE! Thats why these forums are here. Now I'm not a dev nor am I that tech savvy but I wud assume that the software has to match the hardware. While different companies make multiple devices, u wud think it shouldn't be hard to root one from the other, understand that each device has different hardware specs, therefore requiring hardware specific software. Hope that helps. As for the other guy telling u to read all the threads to find wut u are looking for, not everyone has the time to read thru all the threads to find the answer to a specific question. Sometimes it's easier to just ask the question in hopes that someone who knows the answer wud reply.

you guys are all the best, and that's why I posted my question here. Yes the search feature is a PITA in it's own right, with the captcha bs and 1000 search hits. I could spend another hour refining my search, or spend 2 mins asking the question. If everyone expects people to search first then at least it should be faster or equal to just asking the question, then people would use it more I would think.

Each software has certain hardware needs to work. Obviously HTC is raking in millions and millions, so I wouldnt say they are too crazy.
Just because we can get a lot of different ROMs to work on our phones does not mean that all phones can handle all versions of Android and run perfectly out of the box. Although it would be cool.
thanks guys, so it seems the root issue is that HTC really does change their hardware fairly drastically between models and that just seems so insane to me. Why would they do such a thing? It seems so counter productive, and adds so many extra costs. That really sucks but I guess they have the $$ to do it with their stock being up there above google's.
I realize now that htc really is making (figuratively speaking) an apple, a pc, an xbox, a nintendo ds, a psp, a palm etc and getting their OS to run on it. That is really unbelievable. It must be a requirement of the different carriers. Pretty amazing how they were able to do that if you think about it. No wonder it's a nightmare for the devs here. That is exactly what I needed to know and it makes everything very clear now, thanks everyone.
p.s. microse23 you're always so nice, thanks man I appreciate it

please elaborate what y
you mean by battery drain. obivously the battery is going to drain, constant use of the SD card will do that to a phone , as far as boot time is concerned have you ever booted into a Linux live disk? it isnt all too fast is it? hmmmm i wonder why android take a sec to boot.... and here is a working rom for you: Nexus to HD2. I am using it and it works great! GPS lock in like 20 sec for me, sd is fine, tethering works, camera works (5mpx) boot time is about the same as my mytouch 3G slide after HaRET, call quality is clear no robot voice, apps from market install, HD youtube works. little to no touchscreen freezes, screen wakes up fast. (<--run-on lol) seems to be working 100%...
You don't understand how a computer runs.
There are apps that run ontop of runtime environments which are connected to the OS, the Kernel through the API (applicaiton programming interface) and then that talks directly to the hardware via the Hardware Abstraction layer, which is made up of a bunch of drivers which are individual files that detail what language and what commands are to be sent to a device to make it do certain things, which change with each device, which each screen resolution change and new technology or tweak on old technologies. Especially with the radio where it changes from 2G and 2.5G and 3G and H and H+.

why can't they port a perfect copies? MONEY!...HTC paid their employees millions of dollar to put this thing together and make it run. Here at XDA, we have geniuses but they are working own their own time and reverse engineering isn't easy. I guess it would be like walking in a maze that doesn't always have an exit. Another thing, HTC is not exactly giving away much information on their hardware too which makes thing harder.
Think about it, we still can't get a PERFECT snes Emulators. They work and have MORE features than the original hardware console but still have issues.
Making software/os work on hardware that's not intended for isn't always clear cut.

OHSHI- thought I read it in the post was WRONG, my bad disregard that. FIX'D
Key points missed so far.
When HTC gets hardware from a supplier (Eg Qualcomm) they include driver source. Hardware API's etc for HTC to quickly develop drivers. Guys like Cotulla don't have access to this information so they clip some code from here, there and everywhere.
The hardware may be the same but the Bios (Radio) also defines how that HW is presented to the OS. The radio for a WM phone may present the hardware differently to an android phone. This needs different drivers.
There are 1000's of components and features in a phone all comprising of different models, revisions and manufacturers.
Cotulla and the guys work for free in there spare time. Big difference compared to being paid as part of a team of 20 people to do the job.
So in summary. What the guys are doing is trying to build there own UFO using photo's of an alien UFO that no one even understands the technology or how it works.
Would be a lot easier if the aliens left the instruction and design manual in the glovebox
Hi please stop this thread
Hi to the person who started this thread if you are so smart stop asking questions and read between the lines ,do you have any idea how an os is built and how programs are written in different languages,please google and find your answers rather than wasting the developers hard time they are spending at developing the android builds.please dont spend your valuable time answering my reply rather google your question you may get more info towards your required answer.
Please to the moderator stop such threads unless they are reporting build problems.

[ROM][1/7][P600] - Stock Rooted Knox Free - P600ZTUB "ML1"

Well, I just want to make sure everything works. It was a big learning experieence about the regional coding files and the SEA policies which I finally figured out.
So if you can test apps in the play store, over all functionality type thing. Looking for things like "Not supported in your region" errors although I doubt it (USA Regions only, other regions I cannot support).
IM sure its good as I ran with it for two days and liked it.

Sadly that is a typical issue with play services.
They try to push that at the same time the push the apps and it can cause a mess.
Google needs to get it together... But then again, I dont think they made Android for the Crack Flashing crew.
When I was playing with this I think it felt a little smoother than the MK1 base.
Does anyone have any input on that?
And what do you think of the Autobrightness control?
Why did you convert a stock Asian rom to be compatible with US/EU version of P600?
Haven't they the same hardware or product code (SM-P600)?
I ask you this since I ordered a note 2014 from Singapore and I would flash an European stock rom with my country's csc.
Do you think it's not possible?

It seems there is a significant lag for the screen to turn on after the tablet was off for more than a few minutes.
Also tested the magnetic cover on both Poetic cases I own. The tablet display turns on and off when cover is opened and closed.

For whatever reasons Samsung seems to have locked them like they did with the phones and sims. I beleive, but cannot prove for fact, that they are using the same "technology" from the Note 3. You can read more about it here: Samsung’s Regional SIM-Lock: The Stupidest Thing Ever?
Now I dont know for fact, so take it with a grain of salt, but look at the first digit of the firmware and that is the region. Take look here on THIS PAGE for the region and the firmware versions. You will see a pattern.
It seems, Arabian devices all start with X, European based devices start with U, US based devices start with U as well. All Asian devices start with Z. But what throws me off is not all countries seem to be in the region you would expect. So I really am not sure. I just now that some people cant use my ROM very well and others can.
I know that i could not get the ZT base to work until I swapped out portions of the RAM disk and some really strange files in the /system partition which I beleive are tied to the ram disk files which then seem to tie to the region. THIS IS ALL SPECULATION on my behalf. I wont know unless I have a device from Asia to test or someone that knows more about Samsung product codes can elaborate.
Now, I cant honestly tell you that they wont be able to cross but I can tell you I had to tear out some files from the UE based ROM (United States) and replace those files in the ZT based ROM (Tiawan).
Like I said, take it with a grain of salt.
When you get your device send me a PM so I can have you look at things and quantify my thoughts. All my theory are based on my physical US Based Device and the troubles I had getting the Asian based ROM to flash.

Although I cannot read your hand writing I did seem like a positive tone? lol
The lag on wake is by design. I know, strange... But thats how any Exnyos process based device is.
Refernce any article in this quick Google Search and you will see it covers almost every Exnyos device Samsung makes. Not just the Note 10.1.
We will need to enlist a real good kernel developer to remove that lag. You can read more about it in my CleanROM thread as we were just discussing it there...
But in a nut shell, the tablet goes into deep sleep and it has to be woken up. This is done to conserve battery.
I also tested the wake lag against stock MK1 base and its actually improved. At least form my testing anyways. Take it with a grain of salt as I am an old man and cant count very well
Hey this is exactly what i was looking for.
My brother and I bought our dad this tablet from the US and the first thing I did was root it as usual with all the other android devices in our house haha.. but as usual after rooting and installing a custom recovery you cannot do OTA's.
I would like to know will you be keeping this stock and maintaining this as samsung pushes updates. the first thing my dad did, was check if he could do auto updates and it said no tablet is modified. So I told him I would have to do it manually.
Many thanks in advance.
Also is this ML1 the latest release by Samsung?

The feedback of your ML1 stock ROM was positive. All apps I used simply worked. There was nothing unusual about any of the apps, including no force closes.
Touchwiz launcher also seemed quicker when scrolling through the home pages and application pages. I plan to do a Titanium backup and make this my daily ROM for a few days (or longer).
As for the lag when turning on the screen, I was only making an observation. It was neither a positive or negative comment about the ROM. I prefer the tablet to go into deep sleep mode as fast as possible to conserve battery life. So an extra half second or so for the display screen to turn on is an easy tradeoff.

I will more than likely be doing stock roots for any update I can for the duration of tablet owner ship.
As the very first line of the opening post stated; this is the latest build I can find anywhere on the internet.
If anyone ever finds anything newer than what I have they normally will post in one of my threads or will send me a PM. Plus I scour certain firmware sites daily.

Nah, I see some changes in the system dealing specificallyh with WiFi and Bluetooth but I have not had an issue with WiFi (nor do I 100% understand teh changes between MK1 and ML1).
However, the bootlaoder may have also attributed to this. I made this rom so it would run with the MK1 US Bootloader.
I would Odin MK1 then you should be able to flash this. But as far as WiFi drops for me personally, nah. Seems good.
Anyone else see any WiFi issues?
