I've talked about how to compile Android variants before, and for the most part, it works the same no matter what variant you build. One caveat to that, however, is OmniRom. When I setup to build OmniRom 6.0.1, I have to set it up differently than the other …

While attemtping to add the Lionheart governor to my previously built kernel, I ran into an interesting problem:

[CODE]

Here is a problem that I occasionally come across while compiling. Since it is so common for me to see this, I would like to re-iterate an earlier post I made about this problem. Before I only mentioned it in brief, and here I would like to break it down …

For those of you who are downloading or using the PAC-ROM 6.0.1 or AOKP 6.0.1 that God graciously enabled me to build, I have released a new kernel for them, the AKLU-Lionheart kernel. You can install it in TWRP without having to re-load your rom. This …

Among the many roms that I am currently working on, one of them is Liquid-Marshmallow (LiquidSmooth 6.0.1) for the Samsung Galaxy S4, T-Mobile variant (SGH-M919, JFLTETMO). There are a couple of problems with this endevour, not the least of which is that official development of LiquidSmooth has stopped …

While compiling OmniRom 6.0.1 for the Samsung Galaxy S4, T-Mobile variant (JFLTETMO, SGH-M919), I ran into this problem, which halted the compiling process:

A while back I was helping my brother move some old equipment out of a place he use to live. One of the items that I saw there was an old laptop laying on top of some boxes that were stacked up on the floor. It looked kind of old …

As some of you know from previous posts, I use JWM as my default window manager. I like to keep things simple and cut down on wasted resources. This helps a lot, as I often run Qemu, Aqemu, or compile Android variants on my older laptop, which is not exactly …

I have noticed that the build instructions on the AOKP website are a bit outdated. They date back to JellyBean. I would like to encourage other users to build more custom roms, and I thought that it would help if I show how to build one of the roms wich …

The other day, when working through some issues with kernel governors and I/O schedulers, I realized that I was a bit rusty on where to find them from the command line. After some searching and tinkering, I thought I might save some internet searcher the long and winding road …
