Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] (MetroPCS) JellyBean GoodNess Metro Port Zip & Instructions

[Hunter5]

First I want to make very clear that I am really enjoying this ROM, if I could ask one question. When I receive a text it shows the unread count on the icon, once I open and read the text then go back out it still shows there is an unread text. Is this an easy fix or just the way it is?

Again minor issue...this ROM is badass!!

Yea I noticed that also I'll ask the dev to see if it's an issue with the Rom or My Zip


Also if u go into updater theirs all kinds of themes and stuff u can change

Thanks...I know this is a minor issue but like text a lot and it would be nice not to think I have a new text when really there isn't one. Still I really like this rom. Thanks again!! :rock:

I know man there's endless options... I'm gonna see if the issues people are having are on my end and get them taken care of...really hope everybody is enjoying it..


Figure it would hold us over until Shabby and all our devs get our Jb update and bring the house down...

OK I downloaded all three, installed the rom, then installed the kernel then the metro port ZIP, I have three concerns one I get the tethering saying Sprint Tehering etc, then I also get on the model that I have instead of a SCH-R530M it says I have an SPH-L710 which is Sprints model and last when you swipe down to see the toogles instead of saying MEtro Pcs it says mijjz Romz, airtioteclint how did you get it to say the correct model ???

No need bro ... I made this for myself and just wanted to share... I am no dev wish I was but I have a lot to learn... I simply figured out a way by trial and error to make it work... Id rather leave all the thanks to all devs that put in the real work... I spent a couple of days on this and man oh man do I appreciate devs even more... so I appreciate the thanks and I will try my best to lean it up and make it better... but please leave 99.9% to the devs that build the roms I'll take half of what's left ....:beer:

edgeez25...thank you so much, this ROM is really nice. I love all it has to offer. Outside of the minor issue I mentioned in an earlier post( and again I'm not really complaining) the only thing I wish was better was battery life. I charged to 100%, was playing around with it and noticed 95%, checked battery and it had only been 1min 46secs. If something on my part please let me know cuz I really want to run this but must have good battery based on my work, don't have a chance to charge during the day.

Still love this ROM!

Ok mike28 is right basically what happens the min clock speed is clocked at 1026 which is way to high for battery consumption...

I've finally had time to tinker with it and realize that settings don't stick so I've been using KERNEL TUNER from the playstore and it seems to work ... only thing is if u reboot u have to redo your settings cause they won't apply after boot...

try that and see what it does for u and if anybody finds a better alternative please share with us ... I'm working on fixing this for us trust me here's a visual of what I mean

As u can see the settings revert but with kernel tuner it clocks at the lower speeds which in turn gives u better battery life



The bottom pic is my Kernel Tuner Setup

Weird try again yes the Samsung letters are pink but after that it should let you boot maybe you had a bad download try again

Check post #9. Put that in your system folder using root expolorer and reboot.

[Nehemiah]

Good to hear yes with this rom it's rom first kernel then the zip

 

[edgeez25]

Ok folks updated the zip with build prop thanks to Airtioteclint also some other minor changes ....

Now as far as battery life I'm finally letting the Rom settle didn't have a chance before due to testing the zips but 2maro I'll have more info


I will tell you guy kernel tuner and system tuner seem to be sticking....

 

[Nehemiah]
