h0tsauce "9"
Latest release: 9.20120817
CyanogenMod 9 + custom kernel + extras + latest fixes
This is a Kang of latest CyanogenMod 9 repo, 100% built from source, with patches applied, and a custom kernel. Patches I include are typically un-merged submissions or features that have been rejected from CM, AOSP and Codeaurora.
The builds I post are my "daily driver". I only post updates when source code changes are beneficial to our platform, add functionality, or fix usability bugs.

Installation
I personally recommend using Team Win Recovery Project instead of Clockwork Recovery Mod for installing ROM's. It integrates very well with Goo Manager.
1. Download latest release from goo.im or use Goo Manager.
2. Reboot into recovery (TWRP preferred.)
3. Format Cache & Clear Dalvik.
4. Flash zip downloaded in step #1. If you're NOT coming from a CM9 based rom or upgrading, you must "Factory Reset" (format data and cache partitions 3x).
6. Install Google Apps downloaded in step #1.
7. Format Cache & Wipe Dalvik, yes... again.
8. Reboot
If things seem to be weird, repeat the steps again.
Problems / Support
I do not provide support through this forum, only release announcements. I am happy to investigate issues but they must be submitted to the github project.
Let's give this a try
OK, moving my initial impressions from second page as it answers some questions. Overall everyone's impressions appear to be great.
Also running now. I loaded it on top of Perfection rom.
Wow, the ICS unlocker has camera and unlock feature and no old-style unlocker in the other half of screen (that's fresh, though this is how it was intended to be).
Getting used to this rom.
First impressions - running smoothly.
Seems like no playstore installed so need to understand how to access playstore (trying the web though download didn't seem to start) to get titanium backup. Also trying to see how to access filesystem.
Edit - just need to load gapps from first post - seems like it's a must, not a nice to have.
Some observations - haptic feedback doesn't work on some buttons which appears random. Also no backlight on the capacitive buttons though they work fine.
Edit - found ability to enable capacitive buttons backlight in Settings -> Advanced->Sensors, though that keeps backlight on whenecer screen is active. And lockscreen customizations are impressive.
Also interestingly I noticed in terminal emulator that SD folder lacks external sd card.
Edit - connected through USB cable. Dalvik works fine, can view files in file browser. Interesting. internal sdcard is mounted in mnt/emmc while external sdcard is mnt/sdcard. Also windows recognizes to removable drives when the phone is connected but those are not accessible. Again, need to read up on basic CM9 functionality.
Overall very smooth, no FC so far.
I'm looking to see feedback from those who may be familiar with CM9 from using other phones (this is totally new to me).
Another thing (not exactly related but what can make initial setup a lot simpler) that I need to read more about is the way to get apps stored externally as done in Hybrid rom if I'm not mistaken) - that way the apps get ported to whatever rom you install. I need to understand how that works.
And yes, setting DPI to 213 enables tablet UI, as already mentioned. Now I see why capacitive buttons are not backlit. Though in tablet mode the dock disappears. Thinking of trying go launcher but not sure if trebuchet-integrated settings items will work well with that change or will become redundant.
Also as mentioned already the camera preview is messed up though rotating camera helps(fixed now).
You need to download s-note apk as that is not included. Though at this moment apk doesn't install.
Another thing to get used to is the speed indicator (H instead of 4g for instance). Also dsmitty reported that black crush is gone.
Yup downloading now slowly but surely, will leave feedback in this post after flash
ill keep adding to this as i find things.
works:
both cards mount to pc
sound
camera *you get artifacts on screen but picture is fine in tablet mode*
camcorder 1080p works. *same artifacts as camera in tablet mode*
theme chooser
tablet mode *160dpi*
doesnt work:
havent found anything yet.

welcome to the world of aosp
Yep, I was surprised at the size also. But then again it includes zero bloat and no google apps (which are +50 mb for just gmail, play store and talk).
** FYI: No real S-pen support yet. I was just playing around with the pen... on man is it sensitive. I can pull it about 1/4 inch off the screen and still use it.

EDIT AFTER FLASH:
WOW everything is running great!!
No FCs no nothing data/calls/sensors work great
Only thing that is broken but its known already is s-pen
Also camera is glitchy shows wrong/inverted colors but shows up fine in gallery
Instagram might work in different dpi
Still testing
Thanks for sharing your work. Will give it a try and report back.

Well heres some bad news...I was working on Version 5 of my rom. Completely bricked my Nexus one.... Tmobile gave me a decent upgrade/trade in so i got the New Galaxy S 4g... I will leave Versions 3 and 4 of my rom up for everyone to enjoy an further it to bigger an better things. I will no longer be able to support or answer any tech questions since i do not own a nexus one anymore. Its been fun
_______________________________________________________________
3/3 5:45am Finally Ive finished testing and making sure the GRI40 is running smooth an flawless, Sorry it took so long to test, but it seems i hit my data cap of 5gigs in less than 8 days so it was slow on testing HSDPA speeds but thats all worked out now on my friends t-mo sim card i hit 4.5MB/s
Rom features: A2sd set up on first boot. If you dont want it dont set a Ext3 partition
Rooted with SU+busybox, Davik-Cache on SD, Deoxed file system, Zipaligned for ram. Few other things i cant remember because i spent 12 hours tryin to figure out why my data was so slow before i realized they capped me. This version is without the TB alerts. V3.1 with trackball alerts will be posted up here very shortly since trackball alerts will not work with A2sd because it reads trigger files.

For your complete an easy 2.3.3 GRI40 flash
Use Hboot to flash radio image
V3.Trackball Alerts are here at last!!! i would like to thank the creator of Light flow for allowing me to cook in the lite version of his app, The light flow app is probably the best trackball alert ive ever seen, Allows you to set trackball color to the type of alert it is. i used this app all night on my first version of the GRI40 and loved it so much i had to email and ask if i could use it. so yes i got permission from him to cook his app in. all the features of the rom are same as V3 without. Managed to get A2sd working with trackball alert app after i had already cooked the first one up. so take your pic, you can have trackball alerts or just the regular GRI40 .. Also did a internal task killer mod on this V3.1 which in turn SHOULD free up more ram my processes status is showing 285MB of free ram so ENJOY, Feedback is always welcome, use Radio image above if you want.

I took down V4 due to many issues with it, started from scratch on this V4.1 build, added Spare parts, Terminal, and Adobe flash player. Removed Books Apk and Amazon Mp3. Fixed Camera issue that plagued V4 Should also be flashable from Clockwork Mod. IF not use Ra passion please to flash. Also took off Light flow TB alerts as stock google TB alerts seem to be working with this build.
Rooted, Busyboxed, Zipaligned, deoxed, and all the other flavors from my previous rom builds.
new an improved V4.1

Gone back to school support an updates will slow down majorly, but please feel free to download mod, and make these roms better than i made um
quick q, how do u enable a2sd? just make a ext3 partition? or do i have to run some commands as well
thanks for doing this!
Was there a separate radio in the 2.4 dump, cuz I missed that fact?
Btw this rom is real quick. I'm loving it

I dont have such script, but you can take a look at this Build from Superatel, GB 2.3.3 with track ball wake working here (i'm running it-very smooth and stable). Perhaps you should ask him for Trackball wake solution
Anyway, thanks for your time building this job.
Just to let you know, flashed ver2 over ver1 with cache and dalvik-cache wipe and all is great!
Took a while to boot but a2sd all setup nicely now.
+1 for trackball wake
Anyone tried trackball alert ?
Many thanks
How is the battery life and USB transfer speed with this ROM?

Ext2 or ext3 is fine, ext4 is still unsupported on first boot, my phone automatically made a ext2 partition at 512Mb no swap an set it all up for me. so just try that first then if you want more, reflash it with a bigger partition set up

Did nothing to setup A2SD, it does it automagically Took a while to boot though. This was after flashing v2 over the top of v1.
Thanks for the tip on trackball alert

Well ive spent the last 7 hours cooking up 50 different roms trying to get a working trackball wake, i had ONE working trackball wake but it seems to disable all the other hardware buttons, so if anyone has ANY idea on how to do this please shoot me a message, hope all are enjoying the rom till i can get this trackball mod working

Sounds great Could you please paste the MD5 Hash next to the download links?
Edit: Didn't have the patience to wait for the MD5 Hash So downloaded and installed the ROM. Quick boot as said in the OP. Looks pretty good so far. Haven't tried it out extensively though. As of now, I found the USB transfer speed to be pretty decent. Not the best that I have experienced so far but definitely better than the other Gingerbread ROMs using the stock kernel. The Camera worked fine as well. Though I can not ascertain that it is 720p as I was not able to download the file to my PC. While accessing the Camera folder over USB, Windows7 says that the folder is either inaccessible or corrupted. Any idea why so? I was able to access the folder on my phone and the file played well. Will update more about the ROM as and how I use it. Thanks, buddy
Edit: One random reboot after restoring an application using Titanium Backup
Edit: I was able to access the Camera folder on my phone from my PC after restarting the phone once. Also the video is indeed 720p recorded at 12 fps.
I have tried quite a few Gingerbread ROMs out there and this one is just what I needed - plain vanilla stock ROM patched with the Apps2SD script.
Looking forward to the track ball awake and battery percentage. Will report regarding battery life after a few hours.
Edit: One more random reboot after unplugging the USB cable from the phone
Edit: One more reboot while copy data from phone to PC over USB
flashing this right now. Will report later tonight or tomorrow

damn dude, sorry to hear bout ti randomly rebooting on you, i hope it was just a bad flash with you an nothing else thats too serious, but ill look into it
as I am new to the scene I cannot write in the dev area, where CM7.1 is beeing discussed on SE Xperia mini/pro Sk17i.
I tested it yesterday and found it awesome!
Really great, but as already mentioned in the dev thread there are still too many issues that make working with it not really nice.
The not working keyboard is the most disturbing thing for me, as using the onscreen keys is way too small to write longer text.
If at least that was fixed I would flash it back on the device. Probably I can check some issues, as I am on gentoo linux for years and have a look on what dmesg tells.. pretty long error list so far
Okay guys, keep on working! I am really looking forward to using this cutting edge firmware! Great!
I'm also waiting for keypad to work then it'll be great
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
I find the stock firmware pretty great, personally. The only thing that lets it down for me is the app drawer and the inability to delete/hide the pre-installed apps, so I'm using LauncherPro now.
It's a shame I can't just use the LauncherPro app drawer and keep the default UI
as I always use to tweak all my systems, pc, netbook etc. nobody can understand that I really love the design, the arc launcher of my sk17i. But I do. You are right, that the app drawer becomes a little bit blown up at a while. But if your device is rooted you can delete the desired apps from the system and wipe you dalvik cache to make them disappear. This method was just caught up while surfing, not yet tried. I might use root explorer to determine the position of these apps. If you use the recovery menu to backup your system you can always restore the previous state. This recovery method covers every data.
I personally will make myself an overview of the various launchers and drawers available. Probably I will give cm a chance if it becomes stable and I know a good way to sort my apps.
Important for me is a tidy desktop and drawer and the access at least a certain amount of apps at my fingertips, just like arc sorts 16 apps in 4 corners - this is really great in my opinion!

I share your pain. I love the default homescreen, but the appdrawer is really damn annoying. If you set your drawer to 'Most used' then the stock apps eventually get burried away in the last few pages.

Yeah, it's super annoying we can't uninstall stock apps... You can do the custom sort and drag them all to the end, too.
You can hide the apps icons and data by using titanium backup and freezing them, then if you want to use them, just unfreeze

Titanium backup needs root... If I root my phone, then I'm just straight up uninstalling those apps.
Why don't you guys use the folders and corners on the device?
I put all the games and applications in those, and only use the drawer for getting to new apps(which i then drag out the the folders/corners) and just have it set to "recently installed" organisation.
Imo, the modification of android SE did is just about perfectly made for a phone of this size.
I have to agree with the folders, once you use them you rarely need the app drawer. All we need now is root so we can do some serious cleaning... or unlock the bootloader...
i realy want to cyanogenmodders relase ofiicial xperi mini cm7

it got deleted from hotfile ;(
thx in advance

I am currently uploading it to my server where it should stay as long as needed or something new can be done. It is my nightly from yesterday.
Difference to the prior one is that wifi works now.
They keyboard does as well but with weird placement, though I set it to qwertz German layout. The backlight of the keys don't work either.
Camera isn't still fixed in the source thus still broken.
Installation hint in the text file, I forgot to mention the gapps you'll need to load.
I got up them, too if necessary.
remember:
while I am writing this post the upload is still in progress. Immediate download could lead to an incomplete file.

Now that we've released CM7 again for the NT I thought I'd best start up a proper support thread. Pleas keep it as back reports and help.
Please use this thread to post feedback and to ask questions. The Dev thread is for exactly that, development and not support! Please keep the development thread clear of support and feedback posts.
Live support may be available on irc.freenode.net irc channel #nook-tablet-chat, if any of us are around we'll be happy to help but don't bug people if they are busy please. A web version of irc is available here http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=nook-tablet-chat
When posting a bug or issue please use the following format
Which install are you using (Internal or SD):
What version is your CM7 download that you are using (should be alpha final now):
Do you have any mods on your NT (updates or system modifications)
If yes to above what have you installed
Where is this bug (main system or which application):
Can this bug be easily replicated:
If yes to above how can we replicate it to check:
Description of the bug
Any other information we may find useful
Know bugs for Internal version will be in post #2
Known Bugs for SD version will be in post #3
I'm awaiting a Mod cleanup of this thread and all previous bugs up until the new release will be removed from this thread, should knock it back down to about 2 or 3 pages and give me the 2nd and 3rd posts I mention above.
Bugs / Issues from the internal version
Market will not work properly after the update unless you install the GApps (follow link in Dev thread)
Wifi sometimes does no reconnect after sleep, simply tap on the status bar to get notification up and toggle wifi off / on and it should reconnect.
There is currently no Reboot to Recovery option in the power menu, you can do this instead by going to rom manager (make sure it's updated via Market / Play)
Mounts aren't working properly due to a typo on 2 lines in build.prop. update zip to be flashed via CWM available HERE
There is still a possible issue with formatting. A member has said that asking the software to format the /media partition totally wiped his entire device completely removing the partition table creating a paperweight. As has been mentioned many times in both thread about CM7, if any formatting needs to be done please do it from a computer and if in the case of the Media partition that's not possible just delete files instead of formatting. Due to the risk involved we have not yet attempted to recreate this issue on our own devices!
Bugs / Issues from the SD version
System will reboot if you remove the SD card, this is completely normal and you should not remove the SD while device is running from it.

Just reading the official B&N FAQ for the nook tablet, it indicates "Do NOT turn off your NOOK while it is charging; just allow it to go into sleep mode automatically".
I'd been turning it off to charge also, I think i'll follow their directions and see if it charges faster.
The question i'm quoting is: "How long does it take to fully charge my NOOK?" In the "hardware" category.

Thanks for the link. I'll try to charge it without turning the nook off. if it does charge faster, the question would be, "is there any way for it to charge quickly while off?"
On a side note,I did wonder why the nook would always boot up when I plug in the charger after the nook powered down from low battery.
Thank you sir
Just a quick thanks to Celtic & the rest of the people working on the Nook Tablet... thanks!!! Btw, on one of your forum thread pictures I've noted that your screen is quite smudgy. If you need a screen protector for your nook or any of your newer 8 GB models, let me know, at your service.
And as a side note, I've got absolutely no issues w/ your Alpha CM7 release. No wifi issues, nada. Perhaps this is because my wifi network is password less and only authentication method is via wireless mac filter. Only thing if anything is that sometimes (seldomly) when I swap SD Cards while it's powered on, the device will display the Cyanogen 7 boot animation while booted. A quick rotation from portrait to landscape mode fixes this and allows you to press the home button and "home on out" of this.
*** Btw, if you need a screen protector for any of your nooks, w/o hesitation let me know!! Thanks!

The wifi freezing / disconnecting and needing rebooting is the most well known bug of all. It's posted many times through this thread, it's also stated on the dev thread a few times. I don't mean to sound like many of the other grumpy Devs but please there is a search button! You can search a thread and see every mention of wifi quite easily!

Once isnt something to be ashamed of. You have nine posts. I dont know how much time you have spent on other forums, but searching isnt second nature for young folks new to sites like these.
Now, so long as you do your best not to let it happen again, Im sure no one will castrate you.
Lol, prolly feels a lot like walking into a church with a cowboy hat on.

Celtic, I have been thinking, now that you have a new version up, (By the way, you rock) are you going to start a new support thread? This one is VERY long and a little bit daunting, and I am sure that the new rom will bring with it new bugs. This one is almost excessively about video playback and wifi, and the new rom (As I understand) fixes both.
Who would have thought that casually asking if CM7 would be easier and less time consuming could have led to this well polished and very impressive result?

I agree, I'll sort something later I will probably just clear out this thread leaving 3 posts at the start which I can populate with known issues, tips and that sort of thing.
Watch this space
hi guys, just wanted to say about 2 issues that i saw on my NT.
1. The sleep issue - I've saw that was already posted about 5 pages ago, just wanted to tell i got it too ... after closing the NT the second day could not start it up... had to long press power button a couple of times (didn't knew about shortcut PWR + N button)
2. somehow related to the first one. While playing music, after approx 15 min the sounds stops . I've pressed the Pwr on NT and the playlist is on screen and a song appear to be playing but no sound. I've tried to go to running applications too force kill the app but a get a error message about Force/wait/ ... After that I tried to restart with long press and selected restart/shutdown but it doesn't do anything , again had to long press to shut it down.
Hope this helps, i could try to get some logs if that helps.
Thanks.

Thanks for responding. So there must be an issue with my configuration. I'll have to mess around with it some more (already deleted cache and uninstalled/reinstalled).
At least I know it can work.

Well I finally had to downgrade to v2.6 before it would work correctly. It's not as feature-rich as the latest version, but it does work now.
Just noticed something...doesn't the first post normally have a link to the software being discussed?
I have been running your first release since its inception, and it has IMO, ran fantastic compared to the first release of CM7 for the old Nook Color at this current point. That NC unit and its early CM7 was a great way to learn to troubleshoot bootloops and SOD's!
Anyway, I downloaded your updated CM7 Alpha 12 straight to the tablet and installed. I wanted to try install with only a cache and dalvik wipe first. This went surprisingly well and has been running smooth for several hours now. So far so good!
The first glitch I had on install was the old Market and updated Google play seemed to fight each other with their update. Once the browser was up, I downloaded the new Google Play apk and installed overwritting the old Market directly. Then it took well. After a reboot, all apps were restored using Titanium Backup, and another reboot. I did have one point where I had to pop the SD and reinsert as expected but no prob there.
I want to thank you and all other Team B Devs for this great work. Donation inbound!

Good point!
This thread will be almost completely wiped soon when the new internal verison is released, its' getting rather long now and people don't read when it's only a few pages so with 65 pages theres no chance!
When the thread is cleared I'll add in links to the software at the begining too. I'll also be requesting that people post in a set manor. Something like
CM7 build download number (e.g. alpha 12)
Device version (8gb or 16gb)
Install type (sd or internal)
How long have you been running the build?
Short description of bug:
Have you had this bug more than once ?
Can this bug be reproduced on demand, if so how?
Hopefully that will make things easier for everyone ! Although I fully expect many people won't do it like that because they won't have even bothered reading the read to know to do it!
Celtic, do you still plan to release an SD card version also?

Just Flashed Rom
Ok, so this was a bit daunting for me. I've rooted my EVO several times, with several roms and had little difficulty. The NT, however was an horse of a different color.
I first used Nook and Zergy a month or so ago. Never got it working good, but good enough (better than stock B&N)
Then I tried using CMW_SD_flash_and_exe. After much frustration yesterday, I finally figured out that the NT won't boot from the SD card unless the power cable is plugged in. I could finally get into a boot loader program, but kept getting installation aborted when trying to install the ZIP. The CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip was too big once I made my SD card a boot loader, so I ended up copying this Zip to the tablet's internal memory and installing from there.
I don't know if i'm truly "rooted" in the sense that I can now boot the nook into recovery mode any time, or if I will need to use the SD card to load new ROMs.
My phone is working such that I can reboot into recovery mode any time I want without an SD card. Not sure how I would do that with the NT, or if I'm comparing apples to oranges as it were.
Anyway, all seems to be working, I wiped cache/dalvik cache/data and rebooted. CM7 seems to have loaded, I put in my google account and it's off to the races. After sharing my phones WiFi (thanks to being rooted) my NT is now dl all my installed apps. I think I upgraded to Play from Market so for now I think all is well! Sorry for the long post, but wanted to share my defeats and my success!

Get Indirects CWM App. It will perm install CWM so you can get to it by holding down Power + N (without need for SDcard).

You need to flash CWM internally if you want to be able to get to recovery like you do with your phone.

Hey xda. Okay so I'm here yet again asking for help, both in general and directly from Finlessbob or Dochoppy. So I have finally determined what I want in my new ROM "SOSA-Tab 1.0 Apricot" (or for Phones, SOSA 1.0 Apricot). Here are some of the features:
For the Nextbook Premium 7 and Velocity Micro Cruz T408:
1. Beats Audio 2. Increased GraphicsQuality 3. Speed Tweaks 4. Settings Tweaks Integration (Hoping to integrate bottom status bar BEFORE release, If anyone can help me with that it would be much appreciated) 5. (NP7 only) Cover Flow Music Player
And the list goes on and on. I am not going to tell about the phone because that is not my mission at the moment. Right now I need some help building the ROM for the Velocity. I have rooted it, but I cannot integrate the root into a custom rom, or anything else for that matter. The tablet comes stock with a recovery image that allows you to flash thefirmwaredownloaded offof the velocity cruz website in it. Here is my problem. I took out and added some stuff (namely superuser, an ereader app, etc.) and flashed in the recovery. My tablet is then sent into a bootloop and it wont work until I wipe the device via recovery and non of the stuff I added is integrated. The link provided to the site directly links you to the place where you download the firmware, for those that want to take a crack at looking at the rom, have fun. Its not in some funny file format like a cramfs or ext3 system image, its just in a ".tgz" (fancy zip file,use7zip)and insidethatisa ".tar" file(again justanotherfancyform of a zip file, use 7zip also).
For the sake of time I am not going to go too deep into the directories of the system folders, as anyone who has taken a crack at deving for android knows whats insideof them. Hopethatdoesn't look like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, and likeI said if you want to take a crack at it, just download the firmware from the website linked above. I also want to know (from anyone with experience in this like dochoppy or finlessbob) can I convert something to expand the apps space like you all did for the Nextbook Premium 7, because 523mb of space is cool and all, but (hating to sound oh so greedy) I want MORE lol, so if there is a possibility for that I would love some assistance. And one last thing, how do I change the splash image for it, there is no ".rle" file like there was for the nextbook, so help would be appreciated for that also.
Thanks, Ognimnella
P.S. - if anyone knows how to build a custom cwm recovery for tablets like thiss that would be helpful also. Im working on custom roms but it wont let me flash.!

I have a Cruz T410, and I hear they are releasing a new line with the exact same hardware but ICS. I'm pretty good at this modding stuff, but a novice in ROM or kernel cooking, so I will be little to no help most likely. I figure that if we can extract the ROM from the new one and modify it to update our T4XXs.
I have a friend who works retail that should have one I can play with soon, so if you know how I might extract it and get it to you to mod lemme know.
As for what I've done successfully to my Cruz is:
Full Root via Gingerbreak
LCD Density to 140
Removed Status Bar (Root Explorer to remove from system folder after titanium back up)
Remapped buttons, Vol up = Menu, Vol down = Back, Power = End
I used blade buddy to change end behavior to home then screen off so holding it down still brings the shutdown menu up as normal. Made a "Sound" shortcut on homepage.
ADW EX with ICS theme
Android PRO widgets with Lucid theme.
Latest Modded Google Play
(Was tricky but got it!)
Wave Launcher
(Awesome WebOS like gesture bar of shortcuts, with sound and screen off shortcut.)
SwiftKey Keyboard
(Best for tablets!)
Every Emulator Running Smooth
System Tuner
(Adjust SD Cache to 3 or 6MB, it gives a big performance boost. Also change the auto kill to aggressive, and clean cache)
All GAPPS (Lots of trial and error to get newest possible versions of everything)
Dolphin HD ofcourse
Fully functional remote desktop (Awesome without the ugly taskbar!)
Removed Bloatware
Once again, I'm noobish, but I make much better tablets jealous.
I got the tablet as a gift and really wish it was more popular because of its potential. I'm poor so this is going to be my tab until it dies.
I don't post much and I feel kind of silly, but it feels like there isn't much good information out there for how to make it cool. I'll explain how I did everything in detail for those who ask. And would love suggestions.
Also!
I have an adapter for USB in, is it possible to add a host controller for keyboards or gamepads?
Thanks in advance..
Well damn ur a hell of a let further than I am, I rooted it, and installed hcl launcher to give me a honeycomb feel. I modified the build prop to view me as a nexus s tablet and installed the play store too, took a lot of combination experiments but I have a zip with the needed files to install. I think rather than REMOVE the status bar, I just wanna move it to the bottom of the screen. I have Nova 3 and modern combat 2 black Pegasus installed, but the calibration is misaligned due to the persist ant and horribly placed status bar. If I could find the place in the code where I can move the status bar to the bottom of the screen rather than the top, this alone would make the thing a keeper.
Oh and Google host controller for android and report back whether or not we have USB hosting, if we do, I smell a game pad purchase in the future

Right on, we are on the same page with the taskbar. I have tried installing the default gingerbnread statusbar to make it where it can hide at least, but it still showed up as the crummy stock bar even after removing the SystemUI.APK from System folder. Another option:
Copy systemUI.APK to your SD. Remove it from system folder, uninstall, re install.
This makes it show up in services so you can disable it when you want to play games or watch videos.
I think you can do this with Titanium by converting it to a user app aswell.
I too have a back up of all the latest GAPPS and my modded bulid.prop if anyone needs em.
I'll keep working on it, glad I'm no longer alone, lol.

PSA for @Wizballs and any other miPad 4 owners of the WiFI-only model...
Most of us have probably been looking for a ROM that is actively and officially developed that doesn't have the bug where it looks for the non-existing SIM card and drains the battery during standby. I'm happy to report that MoKee appears to use a different base than most ROMS for clover that are based on LineageOS, and MoKee 10 for clover seems to work really well. I left my device in Airplane mode for 7 hours, and the battery percentage was exactly the same as I left it. Finally!

A few other observations and first impressions:
I hate the tacky cartoonish boot animation, but the com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations app works fine to change it after rooting with Magisk.
For the initial setup screen the default option is Chinese, but just scroll down until you see your language, it appears to support all the usual ones.
I didn't install GApps, but somehow it still has the official Gboard keyboard with swipe enabled out of the box.
For some reason on my first install it didn't have a camera app. Then I wiped it and reflashed it and now it has a camera (org.mokee.snap). I honestly don't understand how it could be different from one flash to another, but at any rate it appears to be quite a nice camera with lots of configurable options and a working panoramic mode, which is rare in AOSP based ROMs.
The default gallery app is also good, SimpleMobileTools Simple Gallery Pro, which is my preferred open source gallery app. Some ROMs preinstall Simple Gallery, but it's not the pro version and it's much more limited, and it conflicts with the Pro version when you try to install it over top of it. MoKee does it right from the start.
Lots of configurability in the settings, including an option to control the cursor with the volume keys and on the bottom bar, which I find extremely useful. Only missing option is putting the date on the status bar next to the clock.
Working notification LED, unlike ArrowOS.
So this has been a great find. I'll report back if I find anything else. Thanks a lot to the devs if any see this thread.
Nice find and PSA
I just had a quick read about Mokee, and it appears to be a legit rom.
- From what I've read, playstore is installable
- States open source, get a tick for that
- Any chance you've run a quick virus/malware scan?
- I can see a few 'experimental' builds for 11.0, I'll keep an eye on that progress..
Cheers

Hi there, no I haven't run any malware scans, I don't have much faith in the antivirus/anti-malware sort of programs due to the false positives and FUD that they seem to depend on. I can give it a shot though if you know of any trustworthy ones.
Yes, the Play Store should be installable, they have normal Gapps packages that they recommend at the downloads page. I prefer to run with MicroG instead and I use the Aurora store. A small disadvantage is that MoKee doesn't support signature spoofing out of the box (needed for MicroG), but with Magisk and NanoDroid I got it working.
I also saw the 11.0 builds, maybe we should try to post over on their forum to let them know that there are some very interested and determined clover owners still out there.

The only scanner I really use is ESET for windows, and new android roms and then uninstall after scanning. I've never got a false positive from it.
But I'm downloading Mokee now to give it a try...
So far so good. I'll leave it sit now for 24 hours and report back on standby battery use. And yes I think posting a thanks in their forums is a good idea. And will just be a thanks as there are no real issues to report! Actually is a very well finished and working ROM.
Couple or more points:
- Mokee recommended gapps (opengapps) just wouldn't install - error code 64
- Nikgapps installed and ran perfectly fine however. lol.
- USB debugging turned on by default, some users like me will want to turn this off
- Does appear to be a lineageos base, but only a guess
- Can actually turn off double tap to wake. Arrow stayed on regardless of setting. Wonder if this will help standby battery marginally? I have flip case that turns screen on, works with this rom
- ESET scan 100% clean
- Disabled a few of useless apps (like I do with every ROM, without root) using:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 package.name
- Nutflix not available directly from Playstore. Not a problem, install using SAI
- Encryption turned on by default (great!)
- Lately I'm finding that built in launchers are giving me the best stability / performance in any ROMS . Always used nova in the past.
- Turned off that status bar upload/download speed doobie. Personal preference.
- Appears to have OTA updater, will give a spin next update
Overall, awesome so far
Good find @sb56637

Yep, although there are a few quirks here. First is that they limit the download speed to about 250 KB/s for non-donators, fair enough. But the bigger issue is that it downloads it to the internal storage (obviously), which MoKee automatically encrypts, so normal TWRP can't see it and it can't be installed. They supposedly have a MoKee flavor of TWRP that works with the encryption. I briefly tried to download it, but it was a Baidu site in Chinese that offered me Linux packages (DEB or RPM), which didn't make sense, so I stopped there. But I'll look into it more again and report back.
Fair enough, will stick to manual updates then. Would prefer to keep stock twrp.
Approx 2.5% battery over 24 hours standby. Very good.
I decided to switch to the MoKee flavor of TWRP, linked here in a more accessible location:

With that flashed, OTA updates work well. (Plus it allows for manipulating /system and /data from the TWRP file manager, which is very useful sometimes. Plus, it allows for flashing other scripts like Magisk from TWRP, which adds an addon.d hook to allow it to survive upgrades.)

Quick post to note that in later Android versions (from A10+?) the default launcher is always in charge of displaying recents, so it can't/shouldn't be uninstalled -- this may explain stability issues...
