it would be cheaper to just buy a new screen there pretty cheap and all you do it move your current motherboard and cameras into the new skeleton.

Test kernel for the cm12.1 builds with franco's audio gain sysfs interface and changes for 300hz timer res (like on nexus 5x and 6p).

To install:
- Download and put in a new folder on the device
- Open folder over ssh or in terminal (must have root password set in Settings => Developer Mode)
- run:

Code:

tar xf 300hz-test-kernel.tar.gz
devel-su pkcon install-local *.rpm

- Reboot, use, and report

I also would like more responses on the 1.82 PIXEL_RATIO (here) to determine if this should be changed in the builds. I need to build and replicate a repo, then we can work toward OBS

I'm trying your latest modifications. kernel and pixel ratio.
I prefer 1.86 as pixel ratio :-)

somebody noticed that apn modifications don't remain saved after a reboot?

thanks a lot for your cm12.1 build !!

@RealJohnGalt

I just want to give you some feedback and thank you again for your last work regarding pixel ratio and kernel:

- Pixel ratio

After having used the new pixel ratio for a day, I went back to the old one. I somehow think that the overall layout is more balanced, than with a 1.82 pixel ratio. As an example the 'camera option' icons are quiet small and somehow hang in the emptiness with a 1.82 pixel ratio. Same goes for the options pulldown menu on the notification screen. As other example I want to mention the facebook birthday notifications, where the text right now fills the space next to the picture quiet well. With the 1.82 pixel ratio the text becomes an 'ugly one-liner'. So all in all, I prefer the old 'default' pixel ratio.

-New kernel

My first spontaneous feeling was that power usage is higher with the new kernel, although I have to test that a little bit longer. It would be cool if you could explain the benefits of this new kernel. As I understand, the 300hz tickrate should make the device more 'snappy'. What are the audio benefits?

To test, set up a root password (Settings => Developer Mode), open terminal or ssh in, and run:

Code:

devel-su
curl http://sprunge.us/YbWB -o kimmoli-diyicons.sh
chmod +x kimmoli-diyicons.sh
./kimmoli-diyicons.sh 1.82

To revert, run:

Code:

dconf reset /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio
devel-su
dconf update
systemctl-user restart lipstick

Please post back to say how you like the change.

Hi. I think the new pixel ratio looks good!

Could someone cat /etc/hw-release on Nexus 5 for me please? I'm changing the way my torch app detects different phones and need to know what the file contains.

Thanks Jellyroll and llelectronics!

Hammerhead Torch now uses /etc/hw-release and a config file to determine which controlfile to use. There's a new version in openrepos, and I also submitted it to harbour for the first time (currently in QA). These changes should make it easier to add support for more SFOS ports in future
