this one is still uploading, needs 30 mins left from when i post this, this has proper apn's and will have working 3g/4g/mms
www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/Samsung/Metro/R530M/Metropolis/Rom/Metropolis-Rom-0.0.5.zip


so far current buglist:
notification pulldown says something other than metropcs solution: put some duct tape over your screen to prevent from seeing it.
everything is uscellular branded solution: dont flash this zip as its based off their jb update...
My fav app doesnt work?! solution: im working on it, but for realzies it might be an ics to jb issue or some random cosmic crap.

ill make a proper thread when this is a proper rom, til then suck it up and download it from here ;P

edit: just to clarify this is a stock jellybean touchwiz rom, no gapps needed as its tsock based. no kernels will work with it this is merely me putting out a solidly nice rom that i consider to be a daily driver. when things are fully fixed and rom runs as it should ill add in bells and whistles who cares if you can OC to 1.8ghz if you cant connect to 3g/4g?

p.s. sorry ldrifta i know you spent a lot of time on ics stock and now im here stealin your thunder, lemme know if you wanna branch off this and go on your own jb way

If any of u lose data message me ill help ya out shabby u are a boss

were we supposed to flash this in recovery? I did so and it failed to install. Tried unzipping to see if it was a backup and got a password prompt.

Edit: nvm turns out I started downloading before it was finished uploading.

Hi shabby, wanted to say 4g didnt work at first, but I copied this from the ics and replaced this files and 4g is back up, so thanks to shabby we pretty have our JB update now . Here link Dev-Host - System.zip - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service replace the apn.conf in system/etc folder and the apk files in system/app

Download the right zip file. Place it in your sdcard. Then boot into recovery you either have cwm or twrp. From there install then locate the zip file and install. But before that make sure to back up so you can go back if something happens.

I could not get system zip to install. Did it manually and it worked perfectly, one thing is that its saying theres an update available but will not install. Also in the system.zip folder the apn is in bin and I had to put it into etc.

With it being based off usc, it will tell you there's an update. Ignore it, not for us anyway. My GPS wouldn't lock last nite with this. Can 1 person confirm that for shabby, I already messaged him bout it. Thank you all

 

[Shabbypenguin]

im a bit confused? 0.0.4 had apn's that i used from ICS and couldnt get the data working, 0.0.5 had confirmed working apn'sand neither had working data etc out of the box?

edit regardless verson 1.0.0 is on its way up and should have everything working

 

[n4zty]

shabby when its time to release it, make a new thread

 

[nuttmeg]

t5 work for me, I added the needed files before flashing the build and everything was working.

 

[n4zty]

yea but thats a modded us cellular version now we have an official unofficial firmware from metro pcs themselves that need to be gutted a lil since it has a lots of engineering menus that the official version wont have lol ladiez and gentz we have lift off shabby is doing a flashable zip instead of a tar.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

 

[n4zty]

lol shabby beat me to it

oh nice shabby i found that dev engineering menu u was talking about

 

[glo1234567]

is the update goin to be 4.1.1 or 4.1.2... hopfully its 4.1.2 becuase i want to use multiview lol

 

[Shabbypenguin]

Hey Shabby loving me some jellybean ... even my LTE is working better .. really smooth ... so does that mean its gonna be harder to get multiview working... would be nice but im happy as is.. ur work is awesome

 

[Hwramirez]

at this time multiview isnt even considered. i wanna get teh rom up and rolling 100% then worry about adding in features and mods. i need someone more skilled than i to grab a paintbrush and start makin some nice themes based off this. version 1.0.1 is uploading and will be up in 30 mins guys you can enjoy some amazingly nice jb then, i would HIGHly suggest wiping data going to it.

I see just curious cause you only had the phone for by my calculations a little more than 24 hours and already your on beast mode...im sure you have few things up ur sleeve lol ... Again Awesome work bro I definitely appreciate it its smooth as butter... and the Note 2 cam that I had sitting on my sd forever works great on it...

I just made the move from Virgin Mobile to Metro PCS (S3) this December. I'm looking forward to Jelly Bean! It looks like Metro is the only carrier right now that is still on ICS with the S3.
