Root [Virgin Mobile] [ROM] 8/1 Slim & Stock-ish Rooted ROM

[punkmaxx]

I DID IT!!!! 4-WAY REBOOT MENU IS WORKING!!! Tested latest version this morning on the way to work... And it finally works!!!! Yay! I'll upload this afternoon! 3to5 PM-ish it should be up!


Uploading.... You'll need to do a clean wipe for this one....

EDIT: Damned power went out...

New Version with 4-way Reboot Mod is now available for download....


DOWNLOAD


EDIT: Updated OP

I'll be adding more features as soon as i get some time... I'm trying new stuff everyday by slowly porting features over from the XDA sprint phones by smali & XML comparison and a whole lot of trial and error.
There seem to be a lot of things that can make a Touchwiz ROM freeze. Even just adding or deleting an application that it is not used to on first boot will make it hard freeze.

Anyway More to come... Please be Patient, as i'm not really sure what i'm doing, i'm just playing guesswork with a lot of forum research. These ROMs are really touchy and kinda throwing me for a loop.

Cool! I'll probably be flashing this either later tonight or tomorrow.

[EDIT] I just flashed this and got everything set up. Everything works so far . I see you added some bonus ring tones too, which is nice because all the Samsung ones seem too much like music.

First boot ...... booted after usual delay on first boot
wifi...works...
bluetooth...works

[mayday27]

error 6500 whatever that was no biggie. which cleard up after a few reboots now functions.

the other thing i found is if you freeze or disable certain things the bluetooth disconnects with a android.phone crash message from a headset after a call. so if others have this issue turn your stuff on reboot the off one at a time with reboots and test in between.

Working on some new stuff... Hoping to roll out an update in the next few days...

Hi! This is my first post to this forum. First I would love to say this is a great rom!!! The only problem I have with the slim rom is when I re-download the Samsung Link app (Allshare Play) I cannot get it to work. For now I have reverted back the the stock rom. Do you think you can just put up a copy of the stock rom but deodexed..?

 

[peter counias]

Ha dud are you going to have an update I'd like to see more of your work It's bin good so fare let us know??

yeah, i definitely plan on updating, my work schedule has just been a bit hectic... Sorry for the long delay; I'll try and get a version uploaded soon with some of the new features I've been trying to implement.
I've been running into a few "smali brick walls" when trying to port over features from sprint ROMs, our framework is definitely different in many respects. But i'm still spending every extra free moment trying to get this ROM up to proper standards. I'll post stuff soon, I swear.

I'll try and get a stock deodexed version up as well. Just please be patient as it may take me a bit to get to it, I will certainly get it uploaded.

Cool. Do we need to do a full wipe if we already come from your previous version?

You should be able to flash dirty.... Haven't tried though... Should be fine.

I have cwm based recovery 5.5.0.4 is this okay to flash the rom?

 

[pplatzke]

I downloaded and flashed rom and one thing is not working dlna. When I try to connect gs3 to ps3 the dlan button wont work.

I'd use the 6.0.28 if possible cause that's what I used... But v5.5.0.4 may work...

 

[Deleted User]

So should I do the cm 10.1 guide then yours.?

 

[ENVi3]

You should be able to flash dirty.... Haven't tried though... Should be fine.

I tried to do that, and my phone booted but it just froze as soon as I unlocked my screen, even after rebooting a few times... So if anyone else is wondering if you can dirty flash, I wouldn't recommend it.
Restoring data doesn't work either.

so how do I upgrade my recovery to that version?
