I thought I would share my personal ROM with you all. It's rock solid, I made it to be light and fast. It's based on B08C.



Features and Improvements:

-Root
-Everything up to date
-The amazing Glitch OC kernel (thx to downthemachine)
-Zram
-Flashlight fix
-Deodexed
-Google proxy servers
-init.d support
-ThrottleService removed
-Extended shutdown menu
-Automatic zipalign
-Common system changes pre-configured
-Launcher Pro
-De-branded
-ALSA!
-XLoud audio system
-Beats Audio
-AOSP Mms app
-Stock tethering menu added to Settings (USB only for now)
-User Agent switching added to Browser
-QuickSettings toggles (thx to MrBoBo)
-Swipe to dismiss notifications
-Better data fix
-WVGA@12Mbps mod added to camera (using H264 under custom)
-Working WiFi tether app added.
-CPU rendering disabled
-Swype keyboard
-Boot image/animation

I've also included a version without Beats/XLoud/ALSA for those who wanted it.


Installation:
1-
2-Reboot to recovery
3-Make a backup
4-Format Dalvik Cache and Data (Only dalvik cache if updating)
5-Flash via recovery
6-Reboot and enjoy!!

Please take note that on the first boot it might be unresponsive for the first 30 seconds or so once you get to the homescreen while it runs through some post-install scripts. Sorry, it only happens the one time. After that the speed more than makes up for the inconvenience..

I also want to say thank you to hroark13, shinru2004, downthemachine, and all the other developers. After working on this for the last month or so I can say it is very hard keeping things stable while adding features. You all have turned this phone into a monster.

I think you might have grabbed it right before I updated it. Here is the update without the whole ROM to just flash over it.

theminor19

Thanks i got the 0.0.6 and saw the 0.0.7 and was like ahhhhh i see what you did there hahahaaha

PattF

I put that up for you as fast as I could hoping you saw it before you installed. lol I should have done all of this earlier but, well... Double XP weekend.

theminor19

PattF

It's pretty close to stock but give me a few minutes. Most of the changes are under the hood.

PattF

Screenshots added.

theminor19

Is 0.0.8 the one as 0.0.6 then?

PattF

The only difference between 0.0.6 and 0.0.8 is shin's kernel which you can get Here if you don't want to download the whole thing. Sorry about that.

PattF

New update, now with a permanent solution to the throttle. Still completely stable. Enjoy.

StarScream2109

StarScream2109

Digging it! So how.is the ROM any.bugs?

PattF

I haven't found any and no one's brought anything up.

StarScream2109

Nice there ya go!

StarScream2109

Well keep up the good work

PattF

Thanks man, I'm just trying to get the most out of my phone. All the problems with this phone were in shoddy coding, I'm trying to fix that for myself and others.

StarScream2109

And thats what.makes a good developer but hey im still relativly.new but im a whole different dev i dev with the phone no computer

mrbigv770

Man I put this on my girl's phone..that thing is just zip zip zippin away!

PattF

New update. I forgot a file needed for init.d and fixed the signal bar icons.

mrbigv770

Can I flash this on top of 0.9 or do I have to format er'thing over again?

Nevermind I see the answer in the OP

cyberone3

i see .08 wifi was broken is it fixed in the later roms?

PattF

Yeah, I (foolishly) tried out one of those 3G booster scripts and it caused all sorts of problems. It was quickly fixed.

cyberone3

I'm having one problem with 1.0 when my phone goes to sleep i think ten minutes or more i can't get it wake up. is there a wake lock patch or something i need?

StarScream2109

Check the unitology OP theres a flashable zip thatll fix that

cyberone3

way ahead of you i figured that what it was and have just flashed it
so that should be good

have you had any issue with WiFi not turning off

its not a simplerom issue per say but sometimes on any ROM i seem to be after a while the WiFi will just turn back up with in seconds of turning it off.
mind you i have power control widget on home screen with WiFi on/off but even if i remove that it still seems to happen

as always thanks for the help

Last edited by cyberone3; June 22nd, 2012 at 03:53 PM. Reason: ne problem after flashing wakefix i get an error when trying to turn on wifi any ideas :)

StarScream2109

Yeah it a check mark sticky problem as to why it happens is beyond me XD still working on that problem in my ROM hoping to have a fix soon once i find out i will share with the other devs who have this problem

PattF

Very interesting, I've not come across either of those problems at all yet. I'll integrate that fix as soon as I get home as well as start looking into the other.

PattF

I integrated the fix and removed a script that was slowing the ROM down. Next up, figure out why the browser doesn't download zip files for me and look into the wifi issue.

mrbigv770

I'm getting a wifi error message now with 1.1

PattF

To be honest, i don't have time to look at this atm. I wont be around until at least monday, so my advice is another ROM. Sry man.

StarScream2109

You can try mine but make sure to flash the B08 kernel and everything might work

PattF

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ttf7db4zq21a8ow/Non-OC_Kernel.zip.

This will at least get you back to where you were kernel wise before the update.

What kernel was that btw, i had assumed you modded shins non OC kernel but the wireless not working tells me other wise.

mrbigv770

it's cool...I went back to 1.0.
Haven't had any probs with that one.

PattF

I'm glad that's working for you. Its hard to fix problems I'm not having.

mrbigv770

So ur wifi is working fine?

PattF

Not with 0.1.1, I'm back on 0.1.0 too. What I meant was that I added the faulty kernel without testing it because I don't have the issue it was suppose to fix. I had to go with what they were saying and cyberone3 didn't report any problems.

cyberone3

New update again, back to being stable. Finally. Check the second post for more info.

Also, I'm trying out a few fixes for the screen/wifi issues in this one. I need testers since I've never gotten them.

atlharp

I can test if you want. I am a regular with Launcher Pro. Thanks......

atlharp

So far, so good.

I loaded the ROM. I reforttted my SD card for good measure before I did it. Full Wipe (Factory, Cache, Dalvik). ROM loaded without a hitch. I had to pull the battery after fixing permissions due to lockup on the boot screen. After the pull it booted up without a hitch. I uninstalled the Amazon App Market. Downloaded Camera ICS+ and Gallery ICS. I froze the Gallery, Email apk, and Camera. I also increased the SD value up to 2048kb (I would recommend doing this with future releases, it really makes the ROM perform better).

Overall, a damn solid release. Love the Wifi and Signal Bar icons. Wifi seems to be working ok, and I have no real issues with anything to report thus far. I will run for the next 48 hours and see if it holds up as a daily driver.

Thanks again

PattF

You dont need to fix permissions, that's for people who don't know how to properly set them in their Rom to begin with. Lol also, I've already set the sd card even more aggressively(3072) than that. But thanks man.

I only have amazon because that's what i use, it isn't as fussy about roms as Google's store. That's also why i enabled unknown sources by default.

atlharp

Cool. I fixed them anyway. When I pulled up Rom Toolbox it had the SD values set at 128kb. It might be something with RT who knows.....

PattF

Ah, I'll take a look at it then. My script for it must be broken. Thanks for the heads up.
