Root [ROM] DroidSmith_Force - Beta

donjuro · Sep 30, 2013

It never froze for me, I could always clear it, but couldn't install dsf. I'm going to try this fix asap though!

jimsmith80 · Sep 30, 2013

Cool let know how it works out guys

donjuro · Sep 30, 2013

Unfortunately it didn't work for me :/

jimsmith80 · Sep 30, 2013

Did you try the version of DSF I uploaded last night. It uses the stock kernel

donjuro · Sep 30, 2013

Yes, but I didn't try it alone. I flashed the matrix kernel 1.1 too.

Try a clean install without matrix kernel. If that boots up and runs then give the kernel a try

donjuro · Sep 30, 2013

Ok. Dsf successfully booted up, went back to recovery to install matrix kernel and factory reset + dalvik wipe. Rebooted and got passed boot screen but froze and restarted it self again.

Awesome. We have narrowed things down a little. I think the issue that you and Golono are having is due to the GPU OC in Matrix Kernel. I'm really glad you were able to get back up and running. I'm currently working on an update to Matrix Kernel until then I would recommend that you run DSF_0.6.zip as it is without the kernel.

I am honestly surprised that most phones have no issues, but thanks to you guys I should have things up and running for all now.

Since I updated to 0.5, my camera freezes when I open it. May force close from time to time, but it hangs until it feels like being touch responsive (til the zoom slider pops up and then it will allow me to take a picture)

Same thing here

So I finally ran into an issue. I found myself not being able to wipe cache or dalvik cache. My latest Build of DSF would not install and the system would hang at the boot image. The issue was that my recovery had somehow become corrupted. I was able to fix the problem, and I hope this and the latest build of DSF helps to get those who had issues up and running.

First I flashed the stock nandroid posted by Golono found here:

http://androidforums.com/force-4g-lte-all-things-root/742117-working-stock-nandroid-backup.html

Second I restored the stock recovery provided by Sonicbluemustang found here:

http://androidforums.com/force-4g-lte-all-things-root/743724-recovery-stock-recovery.html

Third I installed CWM provided by 1mouse3 found here

http://androidforums.com/force-4g-lte-all-things-root/749083-recovery-unofficial-cwm-v6-0-3-5-a.html

And lastly I installed DroidSmith 0.6 Beta which can be found in the op of this thread.

If this helped you please be sure to thank the individuals mentioned above.

This worked out for me. DroidSmith 0.6 is running smoothly, thanks for the help! I haven't tried installing Matrix kernel yet. I will give it a shot tomorrow.

I will have a zip to return to the stock kernel up tomorrow. You may want to hold off until you see it

Never had this happen. Try wiping cache and dalvik cache. Should take care of it.

I have that problem on stock so it's not DS

Word. I don't like the camera at all on this phone. 90% of the time the pictures come out blurry.

I plan to replace it with the aosp version, but that's a little ways down the line. I'm going to take a break from my kernel work for a while, and set us up with notification toggles on droidsmith

Built in notification toggles, without a third party app?

And for the love of Jeebus, can you make it so that we can choose which icons are up there, and not just pre-selected ones? I hated phones that I bought that had pre-selected icons, and it annoyed me, cause I can use wifi from the notification, and then have to go find the GPS in settings somewhere else. lol.

It will either be quickpanel or I may port over the toggles from the avid. Either way I will have Wi-Fi GPS and Bluetooth up there.

Any possibility of a torch/LED & reboot menu toggle? Those 2 would help make PowerToggles.apk unnecessary. And Yes, I can in fact theme them also. :beer: :cool:

See, me personally, I use (on a day-to-day basis) Wifi, Data, GPS, Auto Rotation toggle, Flashlight, Brightness in that order. If any other toggles/missing, or in any other order...I freak out. I'm totally OCD lol.
Which is why I asked if we'd be able to customize our toggles on the port lol.

jimsmith80 · Oct 1, 2013

Yeah I understand. I really want to use quickpanel, but there is really no reference material to work with for ICS. I'm by no means saying it can't be done however porting the toggles from the avid would be done much sooner since I can just reference the avid rom. I'll give quick panel a run first. My overall goal is to make this rom as close to it gingerbread counter part on the warp as possible

jimsmith80 · Oct 1, 2013

Got the standard ics camera up and running for the next update. Thankfully that was just a simple apk swap

donjuro · Oct 2, 2013

Would it also be possible to replace the ugly boost lock screen with the stock one? I would very much appreciate it

I'm not a fan of it either. That's going to take a rewrite of the framwork-res.apk. Toggles and getting voice mail working are whats on my radar right now.

I'm gonna take care of that when DSF is done being tweaked.. :beer: :cool:
