Gents,

This is my first build for iFive Air

Air by Oma build v1.0

update 02.01.2015:

- fix Chrome red frame issue
- multi-user enabled
- some minor corrections
- CWM 6.0.5.1 included
- TWRP 2.8.3.0 inlcuded

Air by Oma build v1.1

– stock recovery 4.4.0

– CrewRKTablets recovery TWRP 2.8.3.0 [v1.1]
– kernel #44
– 4 GB internal storage
– init.d support
– multi-user [v1.1]

– Reboot Menue, sEFix, FX Sound
– Dateimanager HD (Root)
– Nova Launcher

Flash instructions are included in the download pack.

Enable developer options - install zip via TWRP/CWM

Hints:
– to improve UI feeling: disable all animation scales in developer options,
…use Nova launcher and set animation/scroll to “faster than light” and
…enable Entropy Fixer with value 256
– to improve battery drain set keep wi-fi on during sleep to never
– to get full access to the build enable /system rw in File Manager HD
– to disable su notifications change notification in settings/SuperSu
– to prettify the build use Xposed Framework > Starter Pack
– to enable multi-user use the Xposed module Multi Users

Be aware: it is your own risk!

thanks i did use your work and all works perfect!

I would like to ask if you could advice:

-how to delete the Nova (as the launcher included in the pack is not the pro version

-as it wouldn't install the pro if earlier is not deleted the one you included

I try to delete with Titanium backup but didnt find it...

Thanks

I'm curious as to why there is still the split between the internal memory and the emulated SD card, rather than doing it the modern way where it's all one giant partition for both.

Or, is there an easy to way to change the size between the two partitions if that isn't possible?

You are right, Rockchip still not use the latest google standard. The footprint of that is in the framework, so no easy way to switch. However, it doesn't really matter.

If you'd like to run a build with an unified internal storage just check out our first OmniRom build: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/rk3288-entwicklung-und-customroms-development-and-croms/rk3288-rom-teclast-p90hd-omnirom-4-4-4-custom-root-firmware-20141206/

Make sure you change Air kernel/resource in folder rockdev/Images.

Fine. Thank you for feedback!

Use the included Datei Manager HD. Goto settings and enable Root and /system rw. Navigate to /system/apps and delete Nova.

Wow, awesome.

So that build of omnirom will work for this the iFive Air as well? It would be great to make sure to have a clean rom as the base.

Yes, works also on iFive Air. Just change kernel & resource in folder rockdev/Images before flash.

Are you referring to the right ROM?

This is one is based on stock and should probably have everything working (I haven't tried it yet though).

There is the OmniROM one which has the known issue of now hwcomposer and no cameras yet.

Oma, I had a question for you. I was looking at making my own ROM, and I was curious about a few things in the rom.

kernel.img and resource.img are the same as the factory images, however, boot, misc, and recovery are different. I was curious as to where you got them, or what the changes are.

In the parameters files, I wasn't sure why the recovery keys were changed from #RECOVER_KEY: 1,1,0,20,0 to #RECOVER_KEY: 1,1,0,17,0. Although, I assume the # comments out the line, but not sure.

Thanks.
