APK test... Request for help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please test an very cool open source app on their custom ROM phone for me?
My stock ROM phone produces interesting results but I want to know if custom ROMs have better performance.
It's project which allows your phone to drive your car.. I have used it for 2+ years and it's great.

Installation
flow-pilot is an openpilot based driver assistance system that runs on linux, windows and android powered machines. - flowdriveai/flowpilot
github.com
My performance numbers in screenshot are quite high (top right).
I'm using note 10 plus Exynos cpu

Since this is a question about an app that is not specific to the Galaxy Note 10, I am moving this to the Android Apps section.
Please post in the appropriate section going forward.

[Q] searching for informations about dualboot on s3 and things about virtualization

Hi everybody,
By advance, I apologies for the long post, but I thought it would be necessary.
I'm the proud owner of the S3 (GT-I9300), and I actually run on Darky Rom, with a few audio mods (beats, noozy, ...) installed, and I'm right now interested in DualBooting the smartphone, but I'm kinda lost between the kernels and Roms I could be needing, the way I could have a "GRUB" like on my smartphone that could let me choose the rom to load on machine boot, or anything else I should know.
I'm explaining myself : I chose the S3 for it's possibilities in terms of everything, I mean that the games are beautiful, the quad CPU not fully exploited in my opinion, and I wanted to know if I could virtualise OS like windows or linux inside that powerful device. I've been a [email protected] cruncher since 5 years, and I always thought that when people sleep, there is wasted power, that could be used for bitcoin, SETI, FAH, or any project like that... and beacause software for theses programms are on windows or linux, why not virtualizing them?
I'm a pentester too (backtrack... love that thing!) and I saw that the galaxy S2 wifi chip now have drivers for monitoring mode, but I still don't know if that is possible for S3, but I hope so :fingers-crossed: and I was planning on testing it on the phone, but I don't want to have a "non-phone" smartphone without an android on it.... So here came the dual booting idea...
And recently, I heard about this :silly: : ubuntu as primary phone OS
So I'm hanging on the news about that ubuntu, and so there is my problem :
I don't know what to do about all of this...
So, I'm gonna ask things clearly, now that I'm done speaking about my life:
1. Is there a way for me to install 2 (or maybe 3) OS at the same-time and being able to choose which is gonna launch ?
for example :
-1st ROM : Android stock ; 2nd ROM : Android Custom ROM;
or
-1st ROM : Custom Android ; 2nd ROM : backtrack ARM;
And for this, which ROMs or kernels should I use ?
2. Is there a virtualization solution on android, where Android is the HOST and some others The guests? (like a virtualbox or vmware player?)
And a few other questions :
3. Is there a thread on the forum where I could pick up the best MODS for the S3? (like a stack of mods maybe?)
4. Is there a way to theme Touchwiz by myself ? (like restyling the notifications like this : CM deus ex human revolution , or can someone help me seek all the already done Themes by telling me what to write in the search box ("touchwiz themes" or "TW theme" is not concluding).
5. which are, in your opinion, the best 3D games that shows the power of the S3 at it's best? (I'm seeking fun ^^)
Here! finished.
Thank you for reading, and please MOD, I beg your mercy for this post ^^.
Install Siyah kernel and you will get dualboot for two (or three with a mod) Android roms.

[Q] how can I help with this project?

*edit* sorry, didn't notice general warning, please move to Q&A
I migrated from SGS i9000 to a huawei G700 phone featuring a mtk6589 chipset.
Sadly, the android version limits the possibilities of the phone really hard: it's oriented towards users who play nicely with their phone, not towards me!
so, to keep a long story short, I'd like CM to be ported to this device. this is not a top-of-the-line product, so I'll certainly have to do it myself.
I already got the complete OS image, kernel properties, installed applications, and so on (boot.img, uboot.img, ...), locally installed here.
the question is: where to go from here? In your guides, I can follow what the developers explain to do and why they are doing it, but I got no idea how to convert this OS image into a CM image ...
Also, as there are apparently developers waiting for mtk6859 roms, should I send them a message asking for their help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375957
the only issue here is that I can't contact them yet because of the noob limit.

[Q] A few doubts regarding rom Development

Hi, I am a java developer by profession and for my own interest want to learn android development .I am more inclined towards rom development rather than kernel or app.I have a few doubts that arose as soon as I got into it.
I searched the forum but couldn't get a clear answer but rather I was confused. So i am putting all my doubts here as questions and request people to comment or give answers or direct me to links that may help clear my doubts.Since I own a note 3 N9005 Its easy for me to test the result if I develop for note 3 itself.
1. Recently android 5 has been released for galaxy s5 .Is it possible to port it for note 3 when there is no base rom of android 5 for note 3 ?
2. Android 4.4.4 has not been officially released for note 3. How come touchwiz based ported rom exists for note 3 ie where did the base rom came from for porting ?
3. In the aosp source page, list of devices does not contains note 3 does it mean that developing from source for note 3 is much complicated than nexus 5 or 7 ?
4. Is there any android kitchen for android 5 ?
5. Are there tutorials which are easy to understand for newbie like me? I mean most of the tutorials I find starts at mid level and ends with pace.​I request the members of this forum to please spare some time to help me out.
Thanks
Is there any one who can clear my doubts?

[Q] Adding Driver to Kernel and Loading it on Device - USB Griffin Powermate

Hello wise XDA sages,
Today I am working on a project that has me working with the Android Kernel and I need some help / directions from you all who know much more on the subject than me. I am trying to get the USB Griffin Powermate Dials to work with Android (via OTG), so I can use them in an application I am writing. Luckily, this has already been done: youtube.com/watch?v=xt6Ny8lG15s so I know the driver is available for Android. Moreover, the individual was nice enough to post his modified driver here: gist.github.com/tlorens/488752123c056202ac31
So, I have spent the last two days reading and studying the android Kernel and how to make/compile your own kernel. The only instructions via Google leave me with a few questions. I was able to build a generic kernel from scratch, but have found less documentation on how to add the driver in question and then how to load the zImage once it has been created to a device so that it will use it.
Could any of you help me with this project, or point me toward more detailed resources that can walk me through this process? I have a feeling that once I do this once, it will be easy to do in the future.
My questions are:
1. How do I take the above Android driver and integrate it into an Android Kernel for one of the following phones: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 10, Nexus 7, Nexus 5, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Tab 4 (I am lucky enough to have access to many devices - which is the easiest to use? Does it matter?).
2. Do I need to make an entire AOSP rom to make this work, or will the kernel be sufficient.
I appreciate you masters helping a noob at kernel work. If this becomes hard to do, I would even be willing to toss anyone willing to help some cash via paypal for a step-by-step set of instructions for making the Powermate work on any of my devices. Biggest thing, is I want to learn how to do this myself
As always I appreciate this community,
Larry

[noob questions] ROM/Kernel - building/porting

I’ll start by admiting that, in the arts of cooking/building/porting android innards, I’m closer to being a complete noob than na intermediate user.
I own a Newman K1S, JB 4.2.2, MT6592, 2Gb/16Gb, 720p, and, sadly for me, it looks like the manufacturer (Newman Mobile, or Newsmy, who knows) pretty much disavows any knowledge of this model ever being built or sold. No reference to it, no community, no android updates or ROM releases.
Taking into account some MediaTek source codes for KitKat were made available earlier this year (even if unofficially), I was wondering:
So, question number 1 – Is it possible to build android 4.4 for my device straight from said sources? Or are they unreliable and it would be best not to attempt it?
And question number 2 – Being at the noob level, should I stay away from such a task? And, in this case, would I be better off porting a 4.4 ROM from a similar spec’ed device?
Also, while browsing needrom, I noticed that a 4.4 “official” ROM was posted for my device. However, having flashed it, I found that it produces no sounds from the external speaker (although with headphones it works fine). Same thing was experienced by other users, and there is no fix so far.
Which takes me to question number 3 – What may I try, in order to fix an issue like this? Does KK use the same sound drivers as JB, and maybe it’s only a matter of replacing them? (if so, I believe this is within my grasp, even if I must unpack the IMG files to reach the drivers)
Lastly, Newman K1S has a severe overheating problem when pushed, which I believe would be easily solved by underclocking it to 1.3 or 1.5, or maybe implementing an optimized kernel.
Final question – How do I manage to underclock with my current kernel, or, better yet, how do I port a custom, optimized kernel to my device?
Congratulations to everyone who managed to read this far, and thank you in advance for any help provided. I’ve spent the last few days reading tutorials and guides, only to become even more confused… I did manage to get android kitchen running on my Windows laptop, though!
Links to recent/updated guides that might be useful are appreciated, too.
