Only the kernel modules are problematic. There is a strict kernel options & modules checksum system to ensure that only fully compatible modules can be easily installed.
Normal user-space apps have no similar restrictions.

Hello Hnyman,
Hats off for your build. i can see the image size is 9mb compared to lede stable version of 6 mb.
Is there any specific reason to lower the size. As the flash size is atleast 32MB or 25Mb usual stock rom .
Can there be a build to have all the needed package so that it can be configured in the setting page instead of copying manually to lib or a cron job .
It would be great if the build have all packages packaged but not activated unless needed. I believe the current one have all the necessary packages.
Is the size is so low because of less Images/icons than stock firmware.
Does your build support MU-MIMO, Beamforming. HT160 etc along with traffic analyzer module built in for device wise usage analytics.
Does the parenting control also available as addon module. VPN client, VPN server possible in future with optional own cerrtification
Can there be a Ftp client like pyload etc along with BT clients.
I have created this firmware mostly for my own needs and I state already in the intro that "it offers the basic router functionality plus some useful add-ons, but does not contain too much additional fancy stuff like multimedia."
If you want "all features build", please compile it yourself.
I don't think that the open source wifi driver supports mu-mimo, yet.
how about Beammforming, airtime fairness etc. i agree its your personal build with all the basic router functions.
i dont understand wifi driver is specific to chip manufacturers. Was it only possible by netgear to use the driver.
Netgear has its own proprietary software driver that they are not sharing. To my knowledge beamforming etc. are not yet in the ath10k opensource driver. Airtime fairness was developed for ath9k but not sure if that has been implemented in ath10k yet.
I have been trying to set up Homebridge to run through the router for the past few days and have had zero success. This is due to NPM being unusable if installed via opkg (or anything else for that matter). According to this post (https://community.onion.io/topic/1167/npm-coming-to-omega2/7) it could be that I need to install 'nodejs' instead of 'node' to get npm to work, but I was unable to find a .ipk file for this router's architecture.
Finally, I was unable to access the feed mentioned in (https://github.com/nxhack/openwrt-node-packages) which looks like it may be a nice jumping off point for. Basically, I'm stuck knowing where to go next and could use any advice you have. I am currently running LEDE Reboot SNAPSHOT r4049-9412fc2949 / LuCI Master (git-17.117.26217-26fb47b). Here is the pickle I'm seeing:

root@TheJudiciousRouter:~#Please ask that in a separate thread. It goes outside the scope of my build.
Node , homebridge etc. add-on packages are not in my build.
This is not a generic help thread.
And you will find more expertise on those packages if you have a new thread with a specific title about homebridge etc.
How to revert to orginal firmware once we are in lEDE if things dont go well.
Using the OEM TFTP recovery mode is the easy way to revert to Netgear firmware.
Hnyman,
Thanks. Just wanted few more before i flash. the stock works fine but when i upgrade to V4 database of qos it get crashed. Voxel believes it could be V4 database problem or Hardware problem.
I dont know which is causing the crash. But the router works perfectly fine when it is in V2.0 database.
I dont know if the LEDE support such QOS.
I am having 100/5 Mbps connection download and upload.
I do wanted to know if there is similar qos . Is there any traffic analayzer package available which keep additional traffic data like individual devices data consumption.
Does LEDE also support secure Remote web management and VPN as a client or server for home access.
It would be great in near future the LEDE have a mobile app to access and control both locally and remotely.
Was this normal default stock r7800 partition of flash layout.
You are again hijacking this build-specific thread for generic questions.
Never heard about QoS v4 database...
Your questions are related to general LEDE features. Just browse the forum and wiki and you will find suitable packages.
SQM, openvpn, vnstat, luci-statistics ...
I have been losing wifi access lately.
I am not sure when it started but since the last builds it happens within 24 hours.
The only thing in my kernel log is this:
[46645.621937] nf_conntrack: default automatic helper assignment has been turned off for security reasons and CT-based firewall rule not found. Use the iptables CT target to attach helpers instead.
[101198.237888] ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: rx ring became corrupted: -5
the ap isnt visible to any device.
I am on LEDE Reboot SNAPSHOT r4173-5d48dc1146
i reset the settings to default to rule out any old settings causing it.
I just toggled wifi on and off and i got this log:
the entire wifi stack crashed a bit later, here is the log
I have not seen similar wifi crashes. If it continues, please file a bug in https://bugs.lede-project.org
The "nf_conntrack: default automatic helper" message is normal. Rather similar warning has been there for years, but the wording changed recently when Linux kernel / netfilter developers really turned the automatic helpers off.
Hi @hnyman
Thanks for making the binaries available. I TFTPed you latest build into a newly bought R7800 and am facing some issues.
Basically, my device does not boot (keeps blinking white power-up led) if I have any of the ethernet cables attached to it (lan or wan). The only way to boot my device (with your binaries) seems to be to detach all cables and then power-up. After that I can connect the cables and things work well till the next power up cycle. Since I power down the router every evening, this is not a practically workable situation for me.
Is it the normal behavior that my R7800 is showing? Can it be changed by some configuration so that power up can be done with cables in place.
Thanks

[/quote]Sounds strange.
Never heard about similar problem with R7800 before.
What if you delete the patch that decreases buffers
