INTRODUCTION
Now that Fattire has lifted his request that everyone build their own zips, I've decided to make available the nightly builds I've been generating. I've got an OS X system cranking out a new build every night at midnight, so there will always be an up to date zip available!
Credit for this rom goes to Fattire, Dalingrin, keyodi, nemith, arcee and the the other hard working people over in the development thread, as well as the the CyanogenMod developers and anyone who's done work on the Nook Color. I wish I could list everyone by name but there's so many great people who've made contributions I can't even begin to do so. I'm just building zips from the source; we'd be nowhere without the contributions these great developers have made to this community.
As nighty builds, these zips may not always work. I'll try to remove any zip found to be broken, but you know the drill: All files provided here are to be installed at your own risk. I'm making built zips available, but no warranty is expressed or implied by the hosting of said zips. I'll provide what support I'm able to, but that doesn't mean that there aren't potentially unknown bugs. If you have questions, you should check the development thread or try the #NookColor IRC channnel on irc.freenode.net.
As posted by Fattire slightly further down, anyone feeling adventurous should definitely consider building from source rather than downloading the built zips. Here's his two cents:

Want to build ICS from raw source code yourself?
It may be a good learning activity, and will certainly make you more self-sufficient. Hundreds have built ICS for Nookcolor successfully, and understanding the process will make you an Android ninja-- PLUS you can try features and bug fixes as-yet-unaccepted-into-the-mainstream build.

However, if you're not quite sold on setting up a development environment but you still want to try the goodness that is Ice Cream Sandwich, proceeed on down to the...
DOWNLOADS
Without further ado: The Ice Cream Sandwich zips!
Ice Cream Sandwich Nightly Builds.
The rom does not include the google apps, so you can/should flash the lastest version of those, which is available here.
Finally, I've hosted a few flashable zip files to make small tweaks to the rom. These are all located in the misc. folder on my server. Below is an explanation of each zip and its purpose.
MISC FOLDER INFO
If you notice that some apps are missing from the market, this may be due to the fact that these ICS builds for the nook do not include support for apps which request phone permissions. Although this ideally would be fixed by developers not requesting phone permissions for their app unless it absolutely needs to be phone-specific, you can also fix it by flashing the telephony-permissions-fix.zip file located in the misc folder. You will likely want to flash this file immediately after flashing your rom.
Secondly, if you prefer the old bootanimation from the galaxy nexus, you can also flash the fix-bootanimation.zip located in the Misc. folder, which replace the new CM9 animation it with Homer_S_xda's fixed version. Thanks to Homer for the fix!
NOTES ON INSTALLING TO SD
I've fixed Verygreen's sd installer image to work with ICS -- you should no longer have to flash SP1 first, or rename the gapps to gapps-gb. If you test out this image, please let me know how it works for you! More recently, Leapinlar has stepped up in helping to fix the image further, increasing its size to allow for the larger size of the new nightlies. Thanks to him for his help -- It's available for download here. Huge thanks to Verygreen for helping me to figure out what needed to be fixed -- in the words of HacDan, "He's not just super helpful, he's a genius". Once you've got the new image, you can use Verygreen's original instructions from his thread on SD Installs, replacing "cm7" with "cm9" where necessary.
IN CONCLUSION
Please remember to thank the developers working on this project, as they've done seriously awesome things for us in an amazingly short amount of time. If you have questions/comments specifically regarding my zips, please post them here, but if you have more general questions regarding Ice Cream Sandwich on the NC you may want to head on over to the development thread. Finally, if you're really enjoying the rom I'd strongly recommend that you try setting up a build environment and building your own zips -- even though I'm making prebuilt ones available they're no substitute for the experience gained by getting familiar with the build process yourself, and Fattire has done a great job of making it an extremely accessible and rewarding project.
Thank you!!!!
What bugs can we expect as far YouTube, flash player. Boot loop . A breakdown of what to expect and not to expect. I don't expect anything but like to know for flashing
And you can build too!

So awesome!
Youtube missing in latest gapps ?
I installed the latest nightly with the gapps and found youtube app is missing ?
Thanks for sharing! I love nook color devs community! You did an awesome job!
Brilliant work! I upgraded from CM7 and all my existing apps that ive checked worked no problem, it kept all my settings too! Speed-wise I would say its very close to CM7, i use ADW EX in preference to trebuchet, and it just flies!
One thing ive noticed is that NFS shift doesnt behave properly when using the tilt sensor to steer, its axis sensor wants the tablet to be in portrait orientation when the screen is in landscape. Hard to know if its the games fault or the sensor. If thats all there is to complain about this early in the development then the future looks promising

I think you can just get it in the market, I removed it to save space. Let me know if you have a problem downloading it.
Dual boot ?
I currently have a dual boot environment setup so I can boot into stock (primary boot partition is currently CM7). Does anyone know if this still supports that ? Anything specific I'd have to do with the install then ?
TIA
Thanks a bunch for hosting these nightlies.....let the fun begin!
I just want to point out for the sd-card users using verigreens 1.3 boot image to setup cm7 to run off of sd card and retain stock for various reasons.
That process will also work for ICS/cm9. Currently, you need to flash update-cm-9.0-0-encore-emmc-sneakpeek1-fullofbugs.zip first. It's found in the ics/cm9 dev. thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370873
Then, flash Samiam's nightly builds otherwise you will get stuck in a boot loop right now.
Ok just tested it and it works great.
Youtube works just not HQ, although I have to admit that for non HQ the quality and smoothness is very high.
Flash Player doesn't work but I think that has to do with 3D H/W acceleration.
Maps wifi location doesn't work allthough it did work on the normal version of the gapps so something is amiss there.
And I am also experiancing alot of hyper sensitivity especially when using two finger actions.
Otherwise all is well.
I'm gonna stay on cm7 for a while. But I love the progress were seeing with ics.. thanks guys

What version of the gapps did you have where the wifi location worked? If you link me to that I can see if there's something missing from my gapps zip.
YouTube is incompatible from the market. Actually, it appears any device I have that runs ICS is listed as incompatible.
youtube app missing in gapps

Unfortunately thats not the case when I search market it doesn't list YouTube app and when I
Google it takes me to mobile YouTube app in market that is not compatible with this device.
I salute you all dev. gurus.
Hat off and thanks for the ICS
Awesome thanks so much!
Hey,
awesome awesome work, thank you very much!
I have a slight problem with the GApps, though: I came from update-cm-9.0-0-encore-emmc-sneakpeek1-fullofbugs and just updated over that with some ics-apps installed. Unfortunately, I do not remember which ones.
Now after the update all my apps are there, but the home screen wiped (not so bad), but my Google Account vanished and I cannot add a new one. Neither in the Settings, nor by opening GMail, Talk, whatever. These will just crash.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again for all your work and energy, I really appreciate that.
Greetz,
Felix

I flashed a cm 10 nightly a few weeks back, I think it was built around the 12th, and for some reason I have all of a sudden began receiving multiple small texts from people, not to mention random soft boots, and Apollo won't work the first time it is opened but will after it force stops itself and you reopen it. Wondering if anyone else had this problems or could recommend another ROM. I was also wondering how to download video from the internet. On ICS it was touch and hold, now nothing works... Thanks
CM10, is an AOSP source build, and does not contain the touchwiz specific framework you are refering too.
Additionally, CM10 (jelly bean) is not complete, in that the kernel, is a modified ICS kernel. We do not have source code for the note 1.
Random reboots are a known issue with these builds, and will continue until source becomes available.
Many good ICS roms exist for our devices, and will give you the type of stability and features you are looking for.
Look at the "super everything thread" located at the top of the general section. There you will find several great running, and feature rich roms.
Please read, then re-read every OP in the rom thread, as they "all" contain important information on the proper setup for the build.
good luck, and happy flashing....g
Thanks for the info Greg. I knew this would be buggy but I wasn't sure if what I was experiencing was abnormal. I really like the ROM except for those reboots. Can you suggest any ROMs you prefer? I can't seem to find any that seem worth it.

Well ..
It comes down to user preference really...
I have 12 roms on my device in storage, and will restore several depending on my mood.
I actually use more GB than ICS, and do not use JB ...due to bugs and no source.
My top pick would be flappjaxxx ICS build #12....with his 3.0.2 kernel.
It's the touchwiz UCLF6 rom.
Since FJ is no longer here, the roms have been pulled. But they are still being made and supported on his site.
I can't link his site directly, as it violates the rules, but search Google for rootdev.org.
He has an Exceptional rom and is a fine developer......g
to fix the issue with having to force close apollo u need to edit ur build.prop on lines and change from true to false, then correct permissions to rw- r-- r-- then reboot
lpa.decode=true
lpa.use-stagefright=true
to
lpa.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
!!!MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP 1ST!!!
As usual, pointing to the post concerning this ROM from its main team HERE
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.
Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub.
We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.
Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.
1.6 is a pretty big update for us! Check out the changelog on our goo.im page for more, but here are the highlights:
-We've fixed PIE! It no longer decides to be invisible from time to time.
-We fixed the battery charge light! None of us use it but apparently you guys are just nuts for it!
-Dark Carbon! Huge props to Slim Roms for coming up with this unique and awesome feature.
-Lockscreen theming
-CM skinny battery is back!
-Volume key lock on silent mode option
-Backup tool - if you're flashing a new version of Carbon and already have the required version of gapps installed, it will be backed up and restored during install. This applies to system apps and custom host files as well. Please note that you should only dirty flash from Carbon to Carbon. It's ok if it's another version or a nightly - just not over other roms. Super handy for you crack flashers. Make sure you've got the most recent Gapps though, and if you're flashing from a factory reset, you'll still need to install it after install of course.
-Long pressing the "clear recents" button clears the cache
-3.4 kernel on D2xxx devices. It's finally stable enough where we're comfortable with this - remember to only flash other 3.4 kernels or it will not boot as there are rom-level dependencies.
-AOKP's awesome new navbar settings
-NFC polling mode for when you want to keep your screen off and scan tags
-MMS and call "breathe" feature. Makes the notification icon fade in and out.
-Mute dings when changing volume
-Disable/enable CRT effect on screen on/off.
-3rd party keyboard bug fixed
-deodexed again
-stability and speed enhancements
-a million other little things as well - we basically don't even sleep anymore.

To many to list one by one, however visit here https://github.com/CM10DNA/android_kernel_htc_dlx/commits/cm-10.1-chad
And look back to june 30th which was my last pull.
Change log removed for space reasons (post is to long now)
8.06.13:
Tried out the BT fixes from Chad's CM10.2 stuff, so it may or may not work.
Current sources, should be the same as the 8.1.13 final stable releases for Nexus devices.
Change Log 8.06.13
The post is to big for XDA posts now, so instead I'll include a link to the changelog itself!
From here on ONLY use 4.3 gapps, I don't want to see any reports of broken cameras, keyboards or locking up if you are on anything besides a 4.3 gapps!
8.09.13
Fully updated to 4.3 Jellybean source
Fully updated to chad and crew's latest work on kernel/vendor/device
Use only the included kernel for now, crpalmer's 3.1.2 kernel is not fully compatible and will cause display and camera glitching.
Use only gapps for 4.3
A complete revamp of Carbon, they're starting over from the ground up so you may notice a lot of features missing, such as halo, expect these to return soon. What you can also expect is a smooth fast ROM with a solid foundation to build upon!
8.12.13
Updated source
BlueTooth now turns on (how well it works I can't test)
Single build, for now GSM is at least somewhat working on the CDMA build, so for now, pending further investigation, only a single "unified" version is available.

Updated souce
Updated with Chad and company's latest awesomeness
Features are beginning to trickle back in, Halo is back, etc.

Device:
dlx: Import GPS HAL from jf
dlx: HTC camera expects insecure MM heap
dlx: enable option to set button brightness
Kernel:
Large amount, so I'll post the commits from last update, not each one. Not all concern the dna directly. Quite a few concerning bcmdhd, kgsl, msm_fb and other goodies
FROM HERE
TO HERE
Apparently the blank display was due to changes Carbon made to msm8960-common that I hadn't thought to look in on, and it changes quite a few things concerning the display. For now I have reverted to the CM common tree to correct the display issue.

Instructions:
Please clean flash this, there's so many extra settings that dirty flashing will likely cause problems. If you dirty flash, please don't report any issues until you flash clean and the issue occurs again!
Please use a proper 4.2.2 Gapps package, using inversed or any modded versions can and likely will cause issues, please use the current 4.2.2 from goo.im, if you use inverted or modded Gapps, please don't report issues until you clean flash with a proper package from goo.im!
If you are not S-OFF you will need to extract the boot.img and flash it separately, either flashGUI or fastboot, your choice, needs done.
S-OFF:
Download the ROM for your needs, CDMA or GSM.
Download the current 4.2.2 Gapps from goo.im or pio-masaki.com
Place files someplace useful
Boot into recovery
This part assumes you know how to operate your installed recovery
Wipe system
Factory reset
Wipe dalvik
Flash CarbonROM
Flash Gapps
Reboot
Let settle for a few minutes after booting
Setup phone as usual
If you have issues on first boot, flash the ROM only, then after it boots, reboot and flash Gapps then manually setup your phone in settings.
CDMA version: for use with Verizon, NOT for any other network.
GSM version: for use with GSM carriers, NOT for Verizon.
Global verison: for use with BOTH Verizon and GSM, no different build required
FAQS
If you didn't read the bugs list in the first post, go back up and read that now, asking the same questions over and over is a trademark of xda and I hate it, please read the change log and bug list before posting questions or reporting issues.
Q. I want to report an issue, can I just post it in your thread without reading or doing any basic troubleshooting, googling, reading or wiping?
A. Well you CAN, you may be ignored or flamed for it. Please read above, and please read the Bugs and Change Log lists before reporting anything. Please flash a clean download, flash a clean wipe, and don't restore stuff from TiBu, that's basic troubleshooting, check if the issue persists, if it does, then feel free to post about it.
Q. Is this daily driver ready?
A. Can't answer that, what a person needs from their phone varies from person to person, what I may consider fine for my use may be 500 kinds of broken for another user. Example, I don't use my camera often, maybe once a month, and my BT has never been turned on for the last 5 devices, for me broken BT audio and camera doesn't make it a non daily driver ROM. Please read and decide for yourself if features included outweigh the broken, or if broken things are required for your comfortable use of your device.
Q. How can I build my own versions?
A. For now you can use the existing CM tree and build it that way. Any further help can be asked as needed.
Q. Can I use -insert kernel name here-?
A. No. Well ok you can, but please don't report any issues while running anything besides what came with the ROM.
Q. Your files all download as index.php!
A. This happens on certain browsers, namely the stock browser and Chrome. You can either use another browser (naked and dolphin don't do this) or simply rename the file to something useful, like "piostotallyepicawesomesaucedrizzledromthatrocksyourass.zip"
Q. Can we do random bantering and good natured fun poking in your thread?
A. Sure, feel free to go OT on occasion, I'm all for having FUN on xda, even if some are not. I would like users to feel completely comfortable in my thread with no worries of me coming down on any thing not ROM or development related, I don't run a strict thread as many know by now. What I don't want is flame wars, though. Please keep a limiter on what is good natured fun as we all know things can get out of hand quickly. If someone is taking offense to something going on and its made known, please end it there with no hard feelings.

Whoop!!!! I heard rumors! I'm about to no sleep and flash this tonight...thanks so much for your hard work!
I downloaded this from your server and running it now. Seems very smooth and I like the breathing effect of notifications. You need to rest!
So I see this is based off the Cyanogen Mod tree. Does that mean the ROM has the same bugs as it such as bluetooth?
Also, how does one download it?

@pio,
Really nice work man.
Using it for the last 2 days and I can say that its the smoothest ROM out there. Paired with crpalmers kernel its SWEEEEEEEEEEET.
Tapatalked from TF300T with AOKP goodness
Pio is a ROM building machine! He probably dreams about code and bug fixes...lol

pio/guys,
I just want to ask, since I have to wait until my battery charges before I flash... How are you liking this ROM compared to PAC/Revolt? Also since it's CM10.1 based it should have all multi-touch issue fixed right? ( I would hate to flash & find out my kid can't play his Gunman Clive again, that would mess him up. lol )
Also I read that maybe we should keep the STOCK Kernel on this ROM instead of using the AOSP Kernel. Did I read right or misunderstand?
pio, you are the Gandalf of the HTC Droid DNA, you indeed are working some sweet magic.
THANK YOU! Ohh and like everyone is saying..... Get some REST! :cyclops:

Unless you are flashing bootloaders it is extremely hard to screw up. I flash ROMs with less than 10% without even thinking twice and never had a problem. Do what you feel comfortable doing, anything over 20% would be fine IMHO.
I personally prefer the other all in one ROMs he has released. PAC is my favourite as it has every feature I want. If you don't care about Paranoid Android's Hybrid Properties then flash Carbon as it runs smoother for some users.

Cool I hear that, it's just that I want to be able to play with the ROM after I flash. If I flash a ROM at 10% or so then that REALLY limits my time with the ROM, because then I would have to put the phone to charge.
I just went to pio's website & downloaded Carbon but the file I downloaded is called "index-1.php" instead of "CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20130602-dlx-CDMA.zip".
Is that OK or is there a problem here? I am not going to flash that file until I get confirmation that it's supposed to be like that.
Thanks to anyone who can verify & help. This is the first time this has happened to me on one of pio's ROMS.

Rename the file to something.zip . it does that with chrome or stock browser, user Firefox on android for downloads to fix the filename issue. Other than being named wrong, the file is fine.

OK I will rename it "something.zip" as you said with out the quotations marks & flash. Thank you for the heads up. You are the man! :good:
Awesome going to flash this now! Does this include the halo framework or is that not released yet?
My head is spinning! Which way to I turn? Thanks pio!!

I added the index.php issue to the FAQs last night.
Personally I use crpalmers kernel with this ROM, its great, by all means use it.
Personally I use carbon because I don't use PA features. Second is ReVolt, then PAC, though since the recent apps fix in PAC its a little harder to say lol
No halo in this, its in the works, though. The carbon team has released a special halo version for some devices a couple weeks ago, so it may happen once halo matures a little more.

I clean flashed this coming from a Sense 5 rom and cant find any of my old data anywhere. The free space on the card has not gone up but I cant see to find my stuff. I tried storage/emulated/0, storage sdcard0, everywhere i can think of.

Its in /data/media, this is discussed numerous times in various threads so I won't get into much detail, but copy from /data/media to /0 and it'll work fine in 4.2 ROMs. To go back to a sense ROM move back from /0 to /data/media. After you can delete /0 but don't they to delete /data/media, just what may be in it as that's your internal SD card.

So it has been a long time in the works and feels like have been working on this forever. First it was an AOSP Rom, then Caf and at some point both. For now the Rom is AOSP 5.1.1 based.
Is still not 100% but have decided to just go ahead and post the Rom and improve and update.
If you have seen the Test Flight CM based version that had been posted with the Starship Kernel the overall theme is pretty much the same.
The mission now is to first go over a few parts of the theme that bug me or did not translate well in the CM to AOSP Transition such as lightening up some text so is easier to read with darker backgrounds. Second mission is go over every APK one by one and fine tune the theme and add in any extra features. Will post an update as each APK has been completed. Most of the work is done in some form or another but have spent ages nitpicking everything to death and have an external drive filled with already completed images, Colour XML's and lots of uncommitted features so updates will come rather quickly. Honestly at this point am just going to start with the APK's in Alphabetical order so if you like the Rom and theme but a few particular things bug you just let me know and I will not mind jumping ahead. Also with each Rom update not only expect app and theme improvements but kernel and other system enhancements as most are already lined up and just need to be tested in the Rom's new incarnation. It has probably seen some better days but with my constant picking and changing have gone back and forth with so many things I think its best to just post so Starship is out there and now start finalizing. What is currently posted is bare bones themed and featuring a Kernel I have also spent almost a year working on. If you had used the Kit-Kat version of Starship then already know how fast the Rom will be improved and updated based on legitimate feedback. I know I am making things out like this is an incomplete Rom but have been using and been very happy with what is posted as my daily. Yes still need to improve a few things but the truth is I am never happy with anything I do and would have kept changing direction until Android N.
Until next time keep looking up!!
Installing
This version was not compiled using the new block based zip format so will take a bit longer when flashing the Rom. Just a warning for anyone who may think something is wrong. It Just takes a minute longer to flash.
Otherwise besides first performing the usual Wipe of Caches, System and Data also recommend flashing the Rom first, Gapps second and SuperSU last.

G-Apps
I recommend using the Banks 5.21.15 version of Gapps and have posted a link below. I don’t like reposting someone else’s work but just now discovered the 6.17.15 version seems glichy during the set-up wizard sometimes needing to be in landscape mode when making a selection so have reposted the version used during testing. Have also posted a link to the 6.17.15 version but found for example during the restore option selecting done will only register the selection in landscape mode.

Screen Shots
Introduction:So I see you have found my Android M Preview ROM thread. So... You all might of seen this. It's Sony announcing that it's AOSP open line of Xperia devices can now build Android M and is showing devs how to build it. Apparently things aren't exactly that way. Google created under it's source code, an alpha branch for the upcoming Android M, what that branch contains is mostly Android Lollipop code and some Android M stuff. This branch will evolve to become Android M, but at it's current state, the ROM is in between Android lollipop and M (kind of a weird mix of a sort that's why the build number is 5.1.51 and the easter egg is the one of lollipop). I will however provide weekly (hopefully) builds of Android M as it becomes more M than L. Keep in mind that the current release of the ROM (as of 25-6-2015) does not contain the new API's (for devs that are interested). You can see Sony's official explanation here. If you are still interested though in checking out the current state of Android M be my guest though keep in mind that in it's current state it is FAR from a daily driver (modem and camera are the most major of bugs currently) and most if not all of the cool features on Android M developer preview for the Nexus line probably are not currently included (as on 25-6-15).
Warning
This works only on UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS. Keep in mind that the ROM was built for the D6603 I don't know if it will work with any other variant of the Z3. In addition flashing this might erase recovery on some devices. Also I take no responsibility of whatever may happen by using this ROM.
Downloads (please read the Introduction if you haven't, its important )Kernel

I can't believe what you just posted
Hahaha @Griffiths_Anna why so?
@CedArctic
it may be that the flashing the rom erase the baseband
have you tried to reinstall a baseband after flash the rom?
@Gustavo RD78
Actually I haven't, even Sony states that Camera & Modem are guaranteed broken. Even if the modem was fixed (which I believe it will in the next few weeks) the ROM still needs a lot of work for all the other bugs. Although about the baseband, I think M requires a special version of the baseband because even when you flash the official M preview over the Nexus 5, you have to flash a new baseband that is compatible with Android M. I am currently away from my Z3 but if someone tries it out and confirms it working I would gladly add it to the main thread.
Wow, that was fast, need i say more??
@corpsegrinder62 Actually, considering the announcement date it is fast. I dualbooted my PC with linux just 36 hours ago, downloaded the sources and compiled... XD

Some modem components are stored on /system and not included for legal reasons in Sony's AOSP binary releases. https://github.com/SuperBenevolent/aosp-vendor-qcom-proprietary
At least with L-MR1, the ONLY things missing for modem to work are the blobs above. Dunno about M, I'm not bothering to mess with it until official M release.
Woaw, nice to see android m being worked on even though it's in its early stages.
Is that my build you are running?
Installed a few minutes ago. Thank you for compiling the source code.
Am I wrong or can´t I flash GApps?
Edit: Also I cannot use any storage. Not internal and not sd card
@Silveryard Yeah there are like lots of bugs... I hope some will be solved in the future. Storage is definetely one of them. I never tried to flash gapps though
It´s because some .apk files (like the play framework) cannot be installed with adb install command and require a custom recovery kernel or root or root for writing permissions in "system"
I don´t know much about compiling a system image but is it possible to place the gapps files into the right folder right before compiling everything in one file? This would help much and would make this preview much more usable in daily life.
Thank you! I'll be trying this on my D6653.
Made an installation video.

@squabbi Cool bro @M-Rom Congrats for your work bro, I saw the FlyMe OS port... simply loved it... although I'm curious how did you port it? Because I tried to do so in the past... @Aaahh I'll take a look into it. I think storage is just the storage-list.xml in the framework.... Thanks for the guide

What? I'm not sure what your talking about
Just to repeat, those are the actual M preview apps and I "fixed" them so that you can add them to your rom
@Aaahh you posted a quote of me about storage and I said now that I think I know that the issue is in the storage-list.xml in the framework. I will include your apps in the next build, but for now I am focusing on a different project until M becomes more stable...
