Root [ROM] ForgottenKingdom

[jssa28]

ForgottenKingdom
by jssa28

(This is the same rom as the old post, I just split this rom and the blue rom into different posts so they are easier to update individually)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rom Credits:
2fast4u88 - His kernel and many of the base rom files came from xFuZiionZz. CWM multi-carrier Script also. Even inactive his spirit still lives in this phone.
zeppelinrox - For his Supercharger V6 Script
amarullz - aroma
dm0 - Helped me test a bunch of builds on sprint

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Features:




Complete GUI touchscreen installer - no additional files needed besides the rom and cwm.

- Choose which apps to remove:

I've nearly added every single removable app that won't stop the phone from functioning to this list. You can remove or keep whatever you want.

- Additional apps

You can choose to add additional apps from the installation screen. I will add more apps to this list in updates.

- Status bar icons

Icon colors for the status bar.

- Built in optional De-Senser

You can choose to keep HTC sense or get rid of it.

- Launchers for De-Sensed installs

Choose which launcher you want if you remove sense.


Supercharger V6 script built into the rom - Has many optimizations to speed up the phone. You do not need to run any script or download anything, it is 100% built into the rom. I've changed some of the values to work better on this specific phone.


- This rom was built on the base of xFuZiionZz and has most of its tweaks.

- Running FastKernel V5

- Updated to the latest boost OTA 1.14.653.0 (Thanks to
SuspendedFate for the update files)

- Default CPU governor is now SmartAss V2.

- Many changes to improve overall phone speed have been made.

- All remaining logging apps have been removed. This should improve phone performance and security.

- Recording and sending of usage data without permission blocked.

- Disabled automatic and manual OTA update checks.

- Many useless high memory services have been removed. The phones available free ram should be higher.

- 3G Tweaks (Depending upon the quality of your service.)

- Many WiFi / Network Improvements.

- Tweaked some more camera / camcorder settings.

- Improved SD card speed.

- Improved GPU/CPU rendering on many applications and games.

- Improved minfree values to be better suited for this phone. Ram management should be handled better now.

- More memory adjustments.

- Application priorities changed in services.jar

- If you choose to keep sense, the sense UI should now scroll more smoothly.

- All volume controls have been increased from 7 to 30 notches. This allows you to fine tune volume much better.

- Tweaked the quality and responsiveness of calls.

- Google Now

- Defrags databases on every reboot.

- Tweaked browser speed.

- Minor UI Tweaks.

- Minor Visual Tweaks.

- Possibly some stuff I forgot to list.


Major bugs - None that I know of. If you find anything please tell me.


If there are any bugs let me know, suggestions also welcome.




I am not responsible for what you flash to your phone, do it at your own risk.

Additional Info: If you choose to keep Sense, you may not want to remove HTC Weather, HTC Calender or HTC World Clock as it messes with senses clock widget. (I put them at the end of the list) Everything is safe to remove if De-Sensing (assuming you don't want any of it)


To Install:

1. Reboot into CWM

2. Wipe data/factory set

3. Wipe dalvik cache

4. Format /system

5. Install zip from SD Card



CHANGELOG

V1.2


- Google Now has been fully implemented. This is a full integration including the TTS engine and all the Google Now library files required to function properly. Since this is a rather large update make sure to report if there are any bugs with the app. You can start this by clicking "Google" in all apps. Option to uninstall this enabled, be sure not to check it off if you want to use this app.
Google maps is required for a few features of Google now, if you happen to accidentally uninstall Google maps just search maps in the play store.

- ES File explorer added to optional apps.

- Option to remove Sprint Connections Optimizer added.

Bug Fix: Htc Stock music program added if you choose to keep it

V.1.1


- Updated to the latest boost OTA 1.14.653.0 (Thanks to
SuspendedFate for the update files)

This OTA includes some kind of connection optimizer, I'm not exactly sure how it works so use it at your own risk. Google "sprint connection optimizer" for more info. You can choose to not use it at first boot. Article here. Looks bad

-Kernel switched back to FastKernel V5 due to many requests to keep overclocking. Smartass v2 is still the default governor. Phone performance shouldn't change.

Download v1.2

If I update, will I lose all my data and what not like when flashing a new ROM all together?

If not, how do i update it? I've never stuck with a ROM long enough to know how to update it. I'm on 1.1 now

Hello,

I think JSSA28 is referring to is the fact that from now on our old thread [[[ Forgotten Kingdom ]]] is now split in to two threads.

This one here will be for [[[ Forgotten Kingdom ]]] topics only. Forgotten-Kingdom-ROM is running version 1.2 as of now.

-----------------------________________________-------------------------


So.... You don't have to worry about updating, because you are running [[[ Blue Kingdom version 1.1 ]]] which is the latest for that ROM.


I hope this helps.




Cheers! :beer:

Is there anyway I can add the sense lockscreen back without a complete reinstall since I don't want to have to unlock my phone to answer it?

if you use lockerpro lockscreen you dont have to unlock to answer a call. might also be the case with other lockscreen replacements

Has the WiFi problem been fixed? Ever since I flashed this ROM, it says "Error" underneath and won't connect to my WiFi - or even bring up the menu to choose a network.

I'm going to re-flash this ROM in a moment, so I'll report back to this thread if I'm still having any problems.

This isn't a problem with the rom. Try install full stock with the stock recovery (theres a link on the forums somewhere by apachethunder) update it to the latest ota. Then install CWM and then my rom. The only time I've seen this problem happen is when someone tried to do an OTA update on the stock boost rom without stock recovery installed or didnt correctly wipe data/system/dalvik

 

[williammaltby]

OK. I haven't gotten around to re-flashing the ROM yet, so I'll do as you suggested and then report back to this thread. Thanks for the response!

 

[williammaltby]

OK. Reporting back. I'm still getting the Wi-Fi error. I did everything I was supposed to. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong here.

 

[AceKing721]

jssa28, Thank you! This is the best ROM out of all of them I tried! Great job!

 

[cincityallstar]

Hello, Great ROM, but is anyone else missing the voice mail app? I can access it by dialing my own number, but the app is no longer there? Does anyone by chance have access to this app? I'm on boost mobile if that helps

Yes, but I keep it in my download folder on my card, and just reinstall it.
If you need it let me know, and I'll try to figure out how to PM it to you.

 

[williammaltby]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to help me solve my problem?

 

[williammaltby]

Alright. I re-flashed the stock ROM (again) and this time I checked for a system update multiple times until it told me there were no more updates.

Then I installed CWM and flashed the ROM, and now my phone's sitting on the white HTC screen, doing nothing at all. It's been at least ten minutes.

I really want to use this ROM but all of these problems are super frustrating because I'm following the directions to a T. I'm so lost.

 

[williammaltby]

Right. Well. I managed to get the ROM installed OK, but I'm still getting the Wi-Fi error. This is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[jssa28]

I will try to help you in PM

 

[rogerbear]

The only issue I have is the battery icon reports wrong and calibrating the battery doesn't fix it. That is the only thing I can find wrong....

 

[mcd1992]

Very nice rom, loving it so far. The only quirks I have is the new volume ticks and the blue battery bar.

How would I go about changing the volumes back to 7 notches, at least everything but the media volume. And where is the battery icon resource files located?

Thanks!

Actually, no i'm running an outdated version of this ROM specifically. I know he split the thread. I'm running the version before he integrated Google Now, and I was wondering if I'd be able to update the rom like if i would apply a system update, or if i have to flash and install this ROM again and start from scratch (lose apps, SMS data, etc.)

 

[rogerbear]

Is there no more work being done on this one?

If I feel something needs to be fixed or updated, there really isn't much that needs to be changed right now.

Hello,



I would like to to ask if this device or platform as you devs call it, is compatible w/ new version of Google now. It seem interesting to be able to set up reminders.

Just curious

WHen I flash this rom for my sprint phone it will not give me data connection. I have voice and text but no data. When I try to do the activation or a ##3282# and then update the PRL it says that is invalid. WHen I dialed #2 to get customer service to do a manual push it dialed verizon.

So basically, there is no way to update my PRL or activate my data services. This rom is fast and my signal is awesome on it but no data is a deal breaker.

anyone else know how to fix this? I've tried re-installing multiple times. It does this on the Senseless rom as well for me but when I go back to stock rooted rom everything works perfect and it activates data automatically when I reboot.

worked for me on bluekingdom with boost. have to be careful, some roms mess with stuff. shendu (otherwise a great rom) caused my phone to start roaming (which it shouldnt on boost). had to reflash stock and play around with prls to get rid of roaming

 

[binder]

That's a good tip but the phone won't accept any of the ## commands to get in there and change the prl.
