Heyo everyone,

Like everyone else I was tired of not seeing any releases for the Samsung Indulge. In fact, just to root this phone, it took nearly 3 months after release. Thanks to our friends at ACS, K0nane, Shabby, Tanimn, and many others; we got root. Thanks to Mikestoolz, the creator of the Bloatware removal app, and one of the first people I met "day 1" of the release of the Samsung Indulge. Thanks to all you fellows at AF who have worked hard to find new things, and help others in regards to the Indulge.

Since then; we been toiling away with settings, apps, tethering, battery life, and 4G. But I'll cut the chat short, and get to the point. With a lot of help I was able to make a custom rom. Doesn't have much, and obviously need a lot of work, but its a start.

K0nane will probably release a rom soon that will blow mine away, but in the mean time to hold you guys over here's a little treat :D.

I. The Rom so far has the following:
Deodexed apks
PermRoot
Zipaligned
Bloatware removed
Speed tweak GPS
Adhost (blocking popups)
Unblocked package blocking
Dolphin HD Browser
Added custom framework
Added custom font
Added custom wallpaper
Added custom Market
Added CWM version:

Without a custom kernel, and a custom recovery, not to much else that can be done for speed/tweaks. I'm looking to try to make it more visual, but at first I decided to keep it fast and simple. I tried to maximize the amount of free memory, and speed of the touch.

II. Instructions for Installing:

1. Please backup everything before attempting to do this.


2. First and for most before doing anything make sure you have the drivers:

Samsung

3. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode. To do this without your phone plugged into usb, settings>applications>development and then enable usb debugging. Then plug your phone in.

4. Download and extract all the files from the Exodus0.4.zip

Links are here:

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE INSTALLED THROUGH THE INDULGE.BAT:

I recommend these if you want just the bloatware gone, with no custom theme, aka bare bones:

Exodus 0.4:

Exodus 0.5:
http://www.mosslakefun.com/files/Exodus0.5.zip

Exodus 0.6:
http://www.mosslakefun.com/files/Exodus0.6.zip

For the current CWM 0.6 grab it here:

5. Then inside whatever folder you extract it to you'll see a file called Indulge.bat. Click on it, and you should see a dos looking like screen, hit enter, and it'll start running. I would not do anything to the computer your using to do this in the mean time. You will notice probably that your phone is having a lot of crashes, this is because the old files are being removed and the new files are being installed. When it finishes, it will automatically reboot your phone.

6. After your phone reboots, I would turn it off, and then do a factory wipe. (With the phone off hold R+PWR button to go to recovery, and select factory wipe). Then restart your phone, and enjoy :D.


There is still a couple known issues, I myself experienced gmail app not wanting to connect the internet whether I had 4g or Wifi. I would suggest if this happens to delete the app, or uninstall it with sdk app remover (also from the market) and redownload it from the market.

If you guys find anything else let me know. Again I tried to keep this as basic as possible. In the future I will probably try to add more tweaks, and alot more on the looks and interface of the phone. But for those who wanted some speed, and all the crap off the phone, here ya go :D.

Awesome man! Thanks I'm going to give this rom a shot. I'll edit this post after I play around with it for an hour or two.

EDIT: Took about 30 minutes for me to install (Messed up here and there) I installed SDK Manager idk if it helps but I did install it. After clicking indulge.bat make sure you sit tight and wait for it to work and do its magic. You'll know it's working when it's saying push-> ____ and etc.

You'll know have the rom succesfully if you have an app called Voodoo control (I think so because I did not have that app installed before) Also the BLOATWARE is gone. The phone's launcher is brought back to stock (like when you first bought the phone). And as of now the phone is running smoothly. (20 minutes after installing)

Sorry just finished uploading it late last night. The build is based on EA29 from the stock source. Though my rom doesn't touch the radio or baseband, meaning what ya have is what you'll keep. Currently I'm at work, but when I get home ill work on 0.4 version. I installed voodoo control thinking that it supports indulge, but only pro version does. I post more when I get home.

Hmm that's odd about terminal. I guess just use sdk stock app remover to uninstall it. Then download it from the market and it will work. Which version of my rom ya using?

Lol as for the title I can't seem to edit it. At the bottom of my firsr posts lists the changes. As for the baseband, ya talking about the new metro one or a custom one? If you're asking about the EE07, we have yet to get the real update package. We got no modded working kernel yet because samsungs source is incomplete. K0nane is talking with samsungjohn on getting a working kernel.

The current download link is 0.4 btw.

I just really hate all the fileshare crap and not to mention people tend to get virus's etc... from clicking the crap they throw in to make it look like your getting the right file.

that sounds awesome, I've been trying to get my boot animations changed since I got the phone. I cant wait for the next version to come out, maybe a dumb question but what is desktop mode

Desktop mode is when you use your browser like you would on a desktop without the browser keeping you stuck on the mobile version of web sites.
