[Verizon] [ROM]JDX (formerly Jelly Belly) AOSP+ - v15 (7/28)

Tip to all:

If during your travels of flashing all these JB roms, you end up at the Google lock screen for an extended period...don't pull the battery. Wait it out. I've had this happen on a few occasions now. Not sure what it's doing in the background but I'd advise we don't interrupt it.

Amen. I had it in the OP and removed it, maybe I should add that back in....

I read that in the Rootzwiki post, but I'm nearing the 20 minute mark now. At what point is the battery pull needed?

Yes I used ROM manager. I used the same process used to flash the 4.04 update months before the real deal with no problems.

I use RM to update recoveries that is it. I'm against using RM for automating wipes and flashes. My experience with it is why. Pull the battery and boot up though and let me know what it does

I was stuck on that screen for a while during one of my flashes. If you have it plugged in to power or the pc, unplug it from the phone and then plug it back in. If it isn't plugged in, just plug it in. I don't know why this worked for me but it did.

When I rebooted, it went the Nexus X and sat there. I pulled the battery again and now trying to get to recovery mode, but I don't get that option. Ugh..

This is what I would do. Everyone is different so you'll get different advice. Boot the phone into recovery from an "OFF" state. Hold both volume rockers (up and down) down and push and hold power button till phone vibrates. Use volume rocker to navigate to "recovery" and select it with power button. DO A FULL WIPE. Flash 3.1 then flash gapps. Do all this with the phone unplugged from the PC. Reboot

Thanks, got it into recovery mode. I guess I wasn't pushing them both down good enough. I installed the JB bootloader first and now trying 3.1 and see if that works.

Okay I wish you good luck. fwiw there are a lot of people running 3.1 with the ICS bootloader aka without the JB bootloader and have no issues. But props to you on going all the way with this! :D

Well with jakeday pushing out updates nearly twice a day, I think I'm going to wait till he burns out to try again.
I was having GPS issues with 3.1. And I was reading that there were Wi-Fi tethering issues as well. I gave it half a day, with leankernel. Still not in awe over it. And some of the mods aren't compatible with, I guess, the AOSP ROMs. Like the power menu buttons. Flashed that and boot looped. Still gave it a chance.

I guess I'll wait until someone puts out a good, already modded ROM.

Well, dirty flashed 3.2 over 3.1 and face unlock still not working here. It recognizes me during setup but doesn't try to recognize during actual unlock effort. Brings the keypad up straight away for pin entry. Haven't tried wifi tether yet, will later. It'll be interesting to see if a clean install bears different results.


Please keep me informed. I haven't flashed 3.2 yet but I am planning to when its in the OP. If a clean flash fixes, I'll do it. If not, I don't like wiping

For ICS I had flashed a mod called "Dark MMS" that I got off Rootz. It made the default mms icon blue, my outgoing message blue while keeping the incoming message white, also made the message count blue.

Question, is the default MMS app updated for JellyBean? If so, is there an updated mod like the one I mentioned for JB? Or if the mms app is not updated, is there a mod like this out there yet? Not asking for any specific ROM just in general. There may be an update in the same thread I got it from but I lost the link...

Thanks!

Why not use something like handcent where you can fully customize your messages?

Hi again, folks!

Okay, full wipe and 3.2 flash with gapps 7-11 and TiBU restore.

Face unlock STILL doesn't work. :(
GPS locked in 15 seconds. :D
Google Now lady speaks... Navigation lady does not :(
BT works. BT voice dial works, but "speak now" lady still doesn't talk. I still have to time it and then tell it who to call on my own :(
1% Battery and Power Menu mods work great, as does Lean Kernel :)

Still exploring...
