I was wondering if anyone can do a zip to make this rom work on our phone? I love this rom but the jellybean goodness zip makes the phone.apk force close.

Pretty pretty please????!!
Or can someone give me directions on how to do it? I wanna also keep the stock SecMMS.apk with group messaging :D
what do you mean? because according to the directions above this is how to make it work with our phone. i tried it i love hyper drive i just have way more battery life on my current setup.

I tried both zip files, the goodness zip makes my 4g come on and off and a message saying something about force closing phone application. With The usc zip I cant send MMS

PS. Im flashing version 11 not 10

I wanted to play around with this but it was 1.5gb at the time. Yikes. It's probably even bigger by now. If nobody makes a zip for it I'll probably leave it to download overnight and have something in the morning.


if theres anything I can pull to help you make the zip let me know! I am glad to help ;)




I love this ROM put I have two problems. First problem no mobile hot spot. Second problem cannot record video I use the Sprint version on my phone is there any way I can Fix this or use a different carrier

Did you flash a d2usc kernel? You cant use the d2spr kernel

Yeah that will be better. grab the build.prop from hyper rom. (once you flash edgeez zip it will have goodness rom build.prop).

Edit: hmmm I just thought of something, would the build.prop differ depending on the options chosen in aroma? That could be problematic if it does.

So you want the build prop after flashing edgeez zip? Or just build prop?


EDIT: can you tell me what I need to change to make it work?

And yea the build prop would be different but only if you choose AOSP apps like phone or MMS, all the other apps shouldnt matter too much

What I would try first is unzip edgeez zip and remove the build.prop and mms apk. Zip it back up and flash along with the usc kernel. When you have it booted up edit the build.prop. Everything you see from sprint to metro. All modem builds to mb2. Reboot and check if mms is working. If not try replacing with our own 4.1.2 mms apk.

I don't think I'll make a zip after all because there's too many variations in aroma. Good luck bro let us know.

Ok this is a good start :thumbup:

I'll give it a shot in a little and if I dont fall asleep I think I can get it to work. I'll let you know as soon as I get it working (or if I give up lol)
