Root [ROM][CM9 KANG][Alpha] Updated 3.5.5---6/27/12

[RTLflat]

Gonna try on my Precedent.

try what this Rom on your precedent? try the precedent forum.

I am assuming precedent is another kind of phone. if not then I'm dumb ignore me

 

[Seraph08]

From what I can say just off the top of my head is that the Prevail/Precedent are nearly identical phones. Just the Precedent is Straight Talks version, while the Prevail is the Boost Mobile version. After scanning the web relentlessly for different ROMs to run on my personal everyday Precedent, I ended up at af because the devs that have released their work here, are simply incredible.

While the appeal of running CM9/ICS on the Precedent/Prevail is beyond appealing. When you flash the OS on your phone, it will run incredibly well. But once you start installing apps, is when it begins to fall apart with "lag" and such.

With our lost genius hroark gone, I dont see this ROM going much further (no offense johnny). And while I would love to see the day that everything runs with this ROM well and as we would expect, I would say have no expectations of that, so you wont end up disappointed.

With our remaing twisted genious BloodDawn, he has developed one hell of a ROM for us. And my personal everyday, consistant, and complete ROM its hard to surpass entirely. And with my trust in almost every dev here, I have flashed and tried every ROM released here and they have all worked on my phone. I have tried every ROM here, CM7, almost everyrelease of CTmod, riflez CM9 release, and hroarks CM9 release. So while my insight and knowlege is limited in what it takes to make this OS's my expierence in using these on NOT the Prevail but the Precedent is as extensive as I could make it.

Hroarks CM9 is a good ROM to try, experience, and show that this phone is capable of so much more then we originally expected, if you want an improved operating system for either phone, turn to BloodDawn's release.

To kristopher I apologize I should have said something before. For your ports I am sorry as I do respect the effort. With MokeeMod the ammount of time it takes for the ROM to decompile was enough to discourage me to not use it. JoyOS well, if I wanted an iPhone I would have bought one, and I do not. Plus as we all know iPhones are for ladies.

The other ROMs here, the ones I consider perverted, manipulated, themed and modified versions of other original ROMs here, I will not even waste the space on my hard drive on them. As I consider that to be an insult to their original creators.

I apologize for my spelling and grammar here. I have had a few this evening, and thats probably what inspired me to make these two posts.

Riflez Cm9 version is pretty much the same cm9 hroark first put out that's why its old and has things not found in current cm9 kang. The only difference is that it has a custom service jar file that enables the v6 supercharger on our cm9 s the minfree values stick...I don't really use my prevail as much anymore(not connected) I let my girl use it... the work on this phone went a long way from shabbymod, we had great devs on our team and well, I beleieve there's really any left... thank you guys for the good times. I miss getting excited for every new mod posted on this forum. Thanks again. Riflez.

Could you port the camera drivers that CTMod uses for the prevail?

no sir..ctmod is gingerbread and cm is ICS..no workie unfortunately

 

[uknow]

Will this work on precedent

 

[johnny424]

Will this work on precedent

not sure..it may..my limited but growing amount of experience with android is going to warn you that it is never a good idea to flash a ROM made for another phone..be careful


Ubuntu 12 SUCKSSSSSSS..sorry guys had to get that out

 

[inigomontoyasr]

What's the problem with ubuntu, Johnny? 64 bit 12.04 has been my os since a month after release. It doesn't lend itself to development but I dual boot with 32 bit 11.04 to do kernels and such. I have to keep Windows in a virtual box so I can watch Netflix though. That's my only gripe about Linux. And I never got used to unity, I use kde and/or Cairo

well..I upgraded from dual boot 11.10/win7 which was a compete freaking nightmare for me and my poor USB wireless adapter..so strangely enough I met an old school unix guy on a service call a couple weeks ago and he was showing me his whole VM setup on his pc..so I decided to go with a VM and I'm using 12.04 but it doesn't seem very developmental friendly..I don't think this is the choice version for compiling from source eay? kernels will compile wonderfully though..still looking for a good VMware appliance image/ISO of Ubuntu 10.04..which I believe to be the Ubuntu version of choice for most developers..I will say this..I love windows ..the wife and kids use windows as well..but I need Ubuntu in order to further my backwoods developmental education lol

 

[inigomontoyasr]

can't you just format your current appliance and install 10.04 fresh?

 

[johnny424]

I imagine so..but I searched high and low for a 10.04 image in ISO format in order for my VM to recognize it..but every one I have found on the net won't work..I guess they were all different some how..I found a few but the site wanted you to pay like 10 bucks for free software..maybe because it was already in ISO form and ready to be loaded into and set up in the vm..working on any fun projects lately?

bought a 16Gb Nexus 7. my prevail is now essentially just a mobile hotspot.

seriously the best device i've ever owned or even used. supremely fast, portable, battery like nobody's business. it has no rear camera because if they did that it would be THE perfect device. i wouldn't feel like a heel snapping pictures or movies with this thing.

sure, i've tried compiling and tweaking roms and tinkering with kernels but it works great right out of the box so all that's just for the hell of it... educational value.

I do run paranoid android for the status bar tweaks, but no overclock, no ram scripts, no lag, no crashes. ever.

it's so good it's almost no fun, if that makes any sense. unlock and root took 3 minutes. i may sell it for a 32Gb version with 3g and get a T-Mobile sim. they have the $30/mo unlimited data/text plan which would suit this guy just fine. i use less than 100minutes talk time monthly anyway and i can get an unlocked galaxy nexus cheap and just swap the sim over when i want to call someone.

anyway, that's where i've been. you been keeping at it?

edit: as for the vm, i use virtualbox so i'm not sure how vmware does it but any official iso from ubuntu has worked just fine for me. in fact, any iso i've thrown at it works. i have used arch, gentoo, slackware, backtrack5, peppermint (which is very nice as a daily) and some more i can't think of but they have all installed fine. what seems to be going wrong?

I couldn't agree with you more! The nexus is a BEAST!
I'm also running Paranoid Android. This thing is SOOOOO smooth.
As of now... my pevail is just being a phone/modem... admittedly an awesome phone/modem but still...

I even have Tablet Talk so I can Bluetooth pair the two and use my n7 to send texts through the prevail... (although I did oc it, but its the default with the kernel I'm using, so I left it)
Check it out

pm me your xda sn ..mine is the same with all my accounts..I was so close to buying an unlocked nexus from Google and using it on tmo's unlimited data plan..but tmobiles coverage couldn't touch at&t in my area..I have heard great things about the 7 and new nexus line coming out..save your money and get an unlocked lg nexus 4..quad core 1500mhz Qualcomm s4..I haven't been doing any work to share but have been messing with compiling kernels..nothing serious..just trying to figure out what kind of setup I wanna start getting serious with..VMware seems kinda laggy..but may just be my lame PC lol..

check out either faux123 or imoseyon's kernels..you won't be disappointed ..all the same developers work on all the high end devices..same developers working on the 7 work on all s3 variants..oh yeah one more thing..I think you and Vincent will be pleasantly happy with 4.2 when it comes out in a few more weeks the tabs will get the majority of new features

Unable to save oc settings as init.d script.

that's an issue with voltage control..has always been kinda sketchy that's why it recomends at boot settings..just use at boot instead

 

[aago1254]

i tried the camera and its still not working

wondering if there is anything being in the works or if this is a dead project.

let me know guys thanks

 

[vce2005]

As far as I heard, there are NO camera drivers available !!

sorry bro..no cam..I don't own a prevail anymore..but I would encourage anyone to continue this project using this ROM as base

In the init.d script there a line that say "wait 20"

Change to "wait 40"

Will stick unless you wipe dalvik cache

But if you reboot again right after that it will fix itself

anyone having problems loading up CM9 to a unsecured wireless conection this is a way I have solved it for myself.

(not sure if its been mentioned before but here it goes)

go to wireless settings
scan
goto add new network
type in the name of the unsecured network
then turn off and turn on wireless connections
and it should automatically connect

once again to all those who had a hand in making this ROM thank you.
