Admire 2 Prevail 2.3.6

hroark13 · February 20th, 2012, 04:15 AM

I ported the Samsung Admire 2.3.6 ROM for Metro PCS to the Prevail

I took some files from CTMOD and some files from CM7 to get it to work

Everything seems to work except the Mobile AP app and the MMS app will force close if you try to go into settings (but you can send MMS, the MMS apk is from CM7)

It comes with Kouma Kernel that I modded (the image says 1.2, but it is not)

Its pretty much a plain Jane ROM and needs some tweaking, so I am just considering it a base ROM for you guys / gals to play with and make some tweaked out versions

The good thing is that it does not have CIQ, I could not detect a trace of it and I do not think Metro uses it.

This may be a good base ROM for CTMOD version 3.0 or something

Well have fun with it

looks good, thanks hroark

did you use the Prevail's wifi driver? I think we need to get a good working hostap driver in order to get built in tethering to work

I was looking through the zip and it seems there are many duplicate folders inside. Is it supposed to be that way hroark? Like in the zip there is 2 Meta-inf folders and 2 syst folders and in each system folder there are 2 of each folder.

There's no duplicates in it

I am using the same dhd.ko that our stock rom has

the Admire has an ath 6000 or something like that for wifi

This rom is missing the hostaps.conf file, but I did try copying one and it still did not work

Probably needs hostap.ko I'm pretty sure it's the access point driver, but I have no Idea how to use it.

Awesome. Thanks for your efforts to nurture and cultivate the amazing talent base this forum has attracted.

Can I have the link.to Theme Chooser

hroark13 · February 20th, 2012, 04:45 PM

here is a link to the files after I extracted them from the system.rfs file, and some other files

the only changes I made to the system folder was to de-odex the app and framework, and optimize the apk files

this is just a dump of the files, it is not a CWM zip file

the ROM in the state it is in this zip may partially work, I know that the radio, wifi, camera, mms and some other things wont work

I did spend a good deal of time for 2 days getting it to the point it is in in my OP

admire-raw.zip

lMonsterl · February 21st, 2012, 01:44 AM

What method do you use to Deodex? I tried once and had about 3 apps that error'd and afterwards it wouldn't fully boot when I tried to flash the zip (minus the certain apks and their corresponding odex files). All framework went fine. It was just some apps

That's the same I used. I'm not sure the issue. It was with hidden menu, maps, and voice search. On a stock rom

I read that and all I got from it is "bug fix".
I figured y'all would know a little more.
And nice with the "0.0.1 better" I laughed pretty hard myself.

I am not even sure that it was worth me doing this.

I just need some practice porting ROMS, and the Admire is basically the same phone as the Prevail, so it was not that hard

like I said the good thing is that this ROM has never had CIQ

which is making me think maybe I should switch carriers to Metro

Boost has not addressed the whole CIQ issue and released a CIQ free ROM

So Metro is looking more friendly to me

wyelkins · February 21st, 2012, 06:22 PM

Flashed this and took a look.

Great job Hroark!

Did some benchmarks.

But I don't really mind CIQ.

I love this to fool around with... only issues I have had are a force close when I try to change the messaging notification tone. The notification volumes are really low, too.

Any way to fix the volume? The Volume+ app is junk.

I need Bloods help with this

Blood, how did you get the CTMOD mms apk file to work with this ROM

if I try to use it, I get transaction failed, when sending MMS

I added sprintandroidextension.apk to fix mms

I added AutoVolume.txt and the audio folder from ctmod to get the volume back to normal

try flashing this in CWM, and do a factory reset afterwards

Blood what files would I need to copy to get that MMS apk working on my CM7

I tried copy mms and sprintandroidextension but I get a force close when I try to send

I could really use your help with my CM7 mms, as is it works, but not when wifi is on

This rom is kinda outdated, there's a much more recent one that uses 2.3.6 in the CTmod thread, or you can use hroark's cyanogenmod, and check out the several themed roms available

Just tried to DL BloodsMMSFix.zip, and I got this:

"Invalid or Deleted File.

The key you provided for file download was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on Mediafire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or Mediafire."

same thing on 2 different browsers...
