[ROM & GUIDE] PARANOIDANDROID 2.54 4.1.2 | Hybrid, Size&UI on PerAppBasis

[Jaay Dogg]

PARANOID ANDROID 4.1.2


The disclaimer: It is not my fault if you brick, break, or otherwise destroy your phone with this guide.


1st download this SPH-D710 FK23 link: [JB][ODIN][TAR]SPH-D710 FK23 (FK23 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Root/Stock)

once downloaded run the .exe, put your phone into odin mode & then execute the odin installer once its done it will reboot your phone once phone is completely rebooted plug it back into your PC & use this Odin3 3.04 Link: Odin3-v3.04.zip

Open Odin & use this Agat's Recovery Link: AGAT_v0.6.8.tar


Your phone will reboot, once fully rebooted install this quick boot app to get you into recovery quick like Link: Quick Boot_4.1.apk

once in recovery wipe cache partition & dalvik cache in advanced then proceed to flash this rom Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31047469

Followed by the Gapps JB Link: Goo.im Downloads - Browsing gapps

Then reboot the phone. It will be stuck on stupid at this point never getting past the boot logo, So hold the power button down & volume up until it reboots to the recovery screen (As in don't let go until you see recovery) Now you will see a new version of CWM 6.0.1.5 on your phone, with this setup you cam wipe data factory/reset, cache partition, & the dalvik cache in advanced, then simply reboot & There you have it Paranoid Android on the SPH-D710VMUB.

I believe this method will boot this phone into most sprint based roms, might have to try different wipes or not wiping.

mms working on this???

Open Odin & use this Agat's Recovery Link: AGAT_v0.6.8.tar

you need to explain this part please, cause i just soft bricked my device i can still get to odin so im safe but still would be helpful to know how to flash this correctly....

EDIT: never mind i didn't soft brick it just wouldn't boot past the Galaxy SII logo but i did get it to AGATs recovery and the rest is history (im running PA). but i think you should have said you needed PDA box checked and have the auto-reboot and reset time boxes checked. I'm new to using ODIN and I'm sure a lot of others are too. I think the ROM link needs to be updated to the one with the working MMS >>>>> http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-a...-cm-aosp-aokp-thanks-wolfu-9.html#post5409330
and the 3G fix should be added >>>> the EG30 modem on this page >>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352310
and how to flash said modem. im not trying to be rude i just think this guide needs to be updated so we all don't have to spend hours googleing all this. cheers

On stock the phone occasionally doesn't turn on from sleeping which requires a battery pull. Is this issue present in this ROM it does anyone know yet?

I sincerely appreciate all the work everyone has done to bring JB to this device, but I kinda agree. For someone new to this stuff as I am, this all seems very confusing. All of the steps, links, and downloads seem to be scattered across several threads
I don't know where to start LOL

 

[TheBritton]

I am now running ParanoidAndroid thanks to your guide and to everyone else who provided fixes, links to fixes, modems, etc.. This is awesome!

 

[volcom_sk8r35]

i still dont understand how to install agat,. there is bootloader, pda, phone, and csc. which do i use? i always get the yellow triangle. then i always have to put it back to the stock jb from the first step

 

[TheBritton]

To install Agat select "PDA"

 

[volcom_sk8r35]

while phone is in downlaod mode, or while it is on? because when it is on it sits at setupconnection then fail after awhile

 

[TheBritton]

While phone is in download mode. Select PDA option on Odin to flash Agat. Odin only works while the phone is in download mode.

aah this is intimidating. Is there a video somewhere? Previously I had the Triumph so I was cmofortable using CMW recovery. Do i root my phone first or how do I start? Thanks!

A video would be awesome. Where's minus5252?

 

[lopez33]

Yes. I just literally have no idea how to start. Do I need to root my phone first? Or click on the first link and then follow those instructions? I just can't stand Touchwiz.

 

[lopez33]

Hi guys so something happened to my phone. I was using the Odin3 installer and I put the agat.tar file in the pda box...i assumed this is what we were supposed to do. Now my phone won't boot past the SGII logo.....how do I fix thiss???

 

[lopez33]

Solved my own problem! But now....there's no 3G working.

This is the fix for 3G. It is the FJ30 modem

I'm thinking of downloading this for virgin mobile if the 3g/mms and stuff don't work would flashing the FJ12 modem fix that and if so at what point during your instructions should it be done. Actually I already have that share recovery running with my FJ12 build. So I could just do the last step right and hopefully my base build /kernel would stay FJ12?

 

[steeljack99]

i would not recommend this rom....its frustrating..... no visual voicemail...MMS still didnt work for me (even with that tweaked rom that had it supposedly fixed) no stock task manager...overall i find the stock ICS with Kuban kernel much nicer, thanks anyway

never had this issue even on stock

 

[TheBritton]

Glad you're not Others have the same issue as myself. Not sure why.

I had that problem when lowest clock speed setting was under 300 mhz

What's the best way to backup/restore widgets, settings, preferences etc when switching ROMs?
I flashed the ParanoidAndroid 2.55cm (4.1.2):
I have Apex launcher and Titanium Backup ★ root pro.I made a tb backup in cm9 . I restored all of apps and data and it went well on ParanoidAndroid 2.55cm (4.1.2):. but
I would like to know how to restore all the widgets on ParanoidAndroid 2.55cm with Apex launcher home screens ?

Any time I have switched ROMs on my Virgin Mobile SPH-D710 I simply flash the file found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199489) after flashing the ROM and everything works fine as it is for me now.
