So does this mean the SystemUI in this version is able to decompile without errors? If so how exactly did you do this?
Thanks.

I used smali and allowed each APK to reference all of the .odex files in the framework, added the classes.dex files to their respective APKs, and zipaligned. I don't know if it matters, but I did those steps through the command line, although I'm sure the process would be a lot faster with a script. If you would like the exact line-by-line process that I used, let me know.

So how is this Rom & all I have to do is download & flash it or is there another step to do?

The procedures are the same as for other ZIP-based ROMs: download, transfer to phone, and flash through recovery. You may or may not need to erase your data (depending on which ROM you're coming from), but backing up your data beforehand is advisable and never hurts.
I haven't received any feedback regarding this specific ROM yet (I don't know if that's a good or bad sign). The main difference is that it's deodexed and will decompile without errors. I'm sure there are other threads with more in-depth information on IMM26 changes/improvements/issues.

SuperUser
I was impressed with this rom for the first few minutes I used it. But then I found out that my SuperUser app wasn't working. I tried updating the binaries through the app itself but it couldn't gain root access. I downloaded the file again and flashed it again but SuperUser still didn't work. It was the same problem with not gaining root access. So I flash the SuperUser zip file from zedomax's tutorial on rooting the Nexus S 4G and I was able to gain root access. Just thought I'd tell you.

mvilla, how did you fix the superuser root access problem? i am having the same problem when i try to update binary, and im getting permission error when i try to flash recovery in rom manager, i think is because of superuser not working.

I went to nexusshacks.com and downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file (I think that's what its called). There's a SuperUser.zip file within that zip file. I moved the file to my phone and flashed it in recovery (wipe cache and dalvik cache of course). And its working well.

This update is from ChainsDD's site and has the latest Superuser app and binary. Should accomplish the same thing.

Hey buddy, I'd LOVE to have the step-by-step, or line-by-line on the process you used to decompile. If you could PM me, or post it up here for everyone to use, that would be great!! I'm kinda new to the decompiling and compiling scene so any help would be great! Also, you said that most devs that use ICS probably use a kitchen to decompile and compile their .jar and .apk files, where is this kitchen? Or are you talking about Android SDK?

Did you ever get that step-by-step process for deodexing ICS from the OP? If so, can you send it to me?

I guess the Google Apps are included?

Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.

Been using this since the 9th and I have to say it's very smooth. Very stock too, which obviously is what it's supposed to be. Just saying that for anyone who comes in looking for something customized. This is basically pure vanilla ICS.

Sorry for the delayed replies. I've been hammered by other obligations lately.

I have replaced the Google apps that have been updated since the IMM26 release. There are rumblings that the official ICS ROM should be released sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll offer the same thing to that release once it comes out.
If you're asking about adding functionality or features, I don't think I'd have anything unique to offer since there are so many other ROMs and customizable updates out already. I have considered including FaceLock functionality, but it adds quite a bit of size to the ROM and honestly, it hasn't worked very well for me. If there is enough interest, I'll include it as a separate revision in the future.

I'm getting a error for the media fire links. New link please?

2.3.4 Gingerbread for the Sprint Tab [CDMA][DEV-FILES]

For those of you that want to get in on early GB development but don't have the skill to compile it from source, I compiled the new source code that dropped for the gingerbread build for the Sprint Tab. This is NOT an installable rom. This is a zip containing the compiled AOSP kernel and system, purely for research/development purposes. Download, unzip and play. I doubt this will boot on a CDMA device without the proper bootloaders, but you're welcome to try. You can even develop AOSP roms from it that will probably run on your tab after the update on the 5th. Enjoy.

Hope someone comes up with a great rom be it asop or other. Im truly looking for great things to come out of this.

im expecting alot from these files!!!
a working 2.3 rom means the following for cdma tabs:
1.working skype video calls!
2.Working hulu!
3. Last but not least, Working Netflix!
it would make the tablet experience so much better for us CDMA owners.
i want to be the first to make a bug list on the first dev to release a rom
it would be a honor
and glad to see you finally posting something space. you have been in hiding so long, you rival osama lol

I guess I should add: you'll need the driver libs to get this running... you'll have to gank what you can from the gsm GB build. Stuff in /system/lib/hw and /system/lib/egl and so on. Just compare and you will get the idea.

I hope it's useful. Sadly, the proprietary files weren't included in the source, so of course you'll have to patchwork from other builds or wait until the official release for some of those.

Open adb shell and run this:
tar -czvf /mnt/sdcard/system_dump.tar.gz /system/
it will create file system_dump.tar.gz in on your sdcard with the contents of your factoryfs (system) partition.

[Q] S Voice/Vlingo Uninstall and Install Modded Directions Please

I just rooted my phone for the first time and flashed the Frankenstein Ego ROM. I just want to say thank you for the amazing work by everyone here at XDA. You guys are the best!
S voice that comes with the ROM does not work and get a network error. I know that there is a modded version that should work (here if anyone is looking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662358)
I apologize for the noob question, but how do I uninstall the S voice that came with the ROM and Vlingo (I tried Titanium and finding it in the .zip file, but didn't want to play with the latter too much).
Again, thank you for the amazing work. BTW-this ROM is absolutely wonderful.
Please provide step by step directions, I am new to the whole scene.
titanium worked
Never mind. Used titanium to uninstall. The modded version works great!!
For anyone else interested use the S Voice patch v4 on this blog

It looks like there is a v3 is posted on that url.
I examined the script and it's not quite right copying over one of the files that the dev put into that flashable zip. Specifically, there is an etc/permissions folder that isn't being written back to the phone. If the app works, then maybe that file isn't necessary. But if it doesn't someone needs to tell the dev to correct the script and see if it that helps.

It may work the way it is. It wouldn't hurt anything to try it. That was just an observation on my part.
FYI for anyone downloading that flash, it will delete several default files on your phone, including voicetalk.apk and vlingo.apk. If you depend on these apps I thought you would like to know. Please backup your phone prior to flashing this file so you can easily restore everything the way it was.
Updated to v4, thanks man ^

*taken from http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
WHAT IS AN ODEX FILE?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
THEN COMES DEODEX
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
In summary, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.
HOW THIS WORKS
For the more geeky amongst us, Android OS uses a Java-based virtual machine for running applications, called the Dalvik Virtual Machine. A deodexed, or .dex file contains the cache used by this virtual machine (referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a program, and it is stored inside the APK. An .odex file, on the other hand, is an optimized version of this same .dex file that is stored next to the APK as opposed to inside it. Android applies this technique by default to all the system applications.
Now, when an Android-based system is booting, the davlik cache for the Davlik VM is built using these .odex files, allowing the OS to learn in advance what applications will be loaded, and thus speeds up the booting process.
By deodexing these APKs, a developer actually puts the .odex files back inside their respective APK packages. Since all code is now contained within the APK itself, it becomes possible to modify any application package without conflicting with the operating system’s execution environment.
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
The advantage of deodexing is in modification possibilities. This is most widely used in custom ROMs and themes. A developer building a custom ROM would almost always choose to deodex the ROM package first, since that would not only allow him to modify various APKs, but also leave room for post-install theming.
On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times. However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used. Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.
For a casual user, the main implication is in theming possibilities. Themes for android come in APKs too, and if you want to modify any of those, you should always choose a dedoexed custom ROM.

JOP40D Stock Wifi Tethering

RE: Sprint, Glaxy Nexus running Stock 4.2.1:
Has anyone found a way to enable wifi tethering with a rooted stock JOP40D yet?
Oh no, three angels have fallen from grace as a result of your mis-leading title and posting in the wrong section.
Now for the goods I was gonna do the hack for that but I won't have time, its simple to do all you need its apktools and the knowledge of how to use it and you're good to go.
1. use apktool to de-compile framework-res.apk
2. navigate to res/values/arrays.xml
3. open arrays.xml in a notepad editor
4. edit the line "config_tether_upstream_types" change the 4 to a 5
5. save changes and re-compile framework-res.apk
from there you will be able to tether

I am talking about a Sprint, Galaxy Nexus running JOP40D stock and rooted and the wifi tethering functionality, this requires some dev work (see post above yours). so maybe I should have been more descriptive in my title or even my post I guess I assumed since I posted it in here it would be obvious sorry to anyone who may have been confused or mislead, if a mod wants to move it no worries :good:
Anyways... I will try the decompile/recompile steps and see if that works, I just didnt want to re-invent the wheel if someone already had done it
thanks!

Now for the goods I was gonna do the hack for that but I won't have time, its simple to do all you need its apktools and the knowledge of how to use it and you're good to go.
1. use apktool to de-compile framework-res.apk
2. navigate to res/values/arrays.xml
3. open arrays.xml in a notepad editor
4. edit the line "config_tether_upstream_types" change the 4 to a 5
5. save changes and re-compile framework-res.apk
from there you will be able to tether

Thanks this worked perfectly! For anyone choosing to do this things to note:
1. It will wipe your google account so you will have to re-login and setup the gapps
2. the framework-res.apk size will not be the same (in my case it was either a full MB larger if I unzip/reziped it with my changes or 4 MB smaller if I just dropped my new resources.arsc into the original apk.. very big size difference but everything still boots up and works *shrug*
Possible to post a flash able zip for TWRP?

tethering zip for 4.2.1 sprint update
This worked for me so give it a try. I have no idea if this will work for anyone else so please dont blame me if it messes up your phone. This is for the stock sprint release 4.2.1 - framework-res.apk update to include unlocked tethering.

This is not a tether app it enables the native tethering in android, no app required

hedrickms, first of all, thank you very much for doing this and posting it for the rest of us.
Would it be possible to post a "back to stock/restore to Sprint configuration" flashable .zip, just in case? (It's always nice to have that available in case I need my phone to appear to be truly unrooted and stock.)
-- Andrew
OK not sure if this works but here is a flashable .zip to return tethering to Stock (Locked) state. I did not flash this to see if it works so if you have issues please let me know and I will see what went wrong. The "tethering_4.2.1_Return_Stock.zip" is for Sprint Android 4.2.1 only and will not work with 4.1.1 or 4.1.2.

[MODS] General Mods for Stock Jellybean

Until the bootloader is unlocked. Attached is some mods to improve upon Jellybean.
Also, I urge people to bring any modifications(or test yourself) some of the mods in the Nexus 4 section that I can hopefully start transposing onto the LG Optimus Jellybean. I suggest if you're unsure if a mod will work. Ask me first, it's better to ask than brick your phone.
I'll make flashable zips and incorporate into lifeless eventually.
thermald-8064.conf
- Download file (this is NOT flashable)
- Extract the file
- Replace the extracted file with the same file in System/etc (Using Root Explorer or similiar)
- This improves the overheating issue based on the modified stock thermaconfig from ICS
Camera-Mod by _EPIC
- Same exact directions as above
- Excep replace the media_profiles with the media_profiles file attached.
More to come
Seems to be working thanks!

Wifi Teather Root
Hello,
Hope this is the right forum, just recently updated to jelly bean LS970ZVB from this forum. Was able to retain root access; however lost my ability to use Wifi Tether for Root Users. Evidently FreeGee hasn't came up with a way to unlock the bootloader just yet after the update. Is there a way with this update to utilize free WIFI wireless tethering. I've looked around everywhere, and nothing has seemed to work. I have all green check marks on the log within the application. Please help!!!!:confused.
Maybe Sqlite will work with forcing entitlement changes; however , cant find this either.

The JB mods thread?
I didn't realize I was in this thread. The camera mod is one I made. It greatly improves camera and video. The thermal one helps with overheating.

Um, wifi tether works fine for me. Not sure why you need an unlocked bootloader to run wifi tether.

I really liked your camera mod for ics so I wanna give this a shot. I don't know where to put the XML file though. I don't see anything names camera_profiles. Does this replace something or just get dropped in somewhere. Thanks for your work. Sorry for my lack of smarts

Didn't see that in the etc folder the first time. Anyway, I replaced it now. Thanks
I can't seem to DL the thermal zip correctly. It says it dl's but when I open it there is nothing in there. The cam mod zip worked fine.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Adri, the bootloader is unlocked, but the boot image that freegee has is for ics and therefore won't boot. If you just flash the recovery and aboot, you are unlocked, but can't debloat since the security error is fixed with the custom boot image. We haven't figured out how to fix it on jb hence the delay.

This one sounded interesting. Wonder if there's a similar mod that would work for us:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028289
It changes the synaptic driver out to increase touch screen responsiveness.
Nothing else really comes to mind though.
There's a virtual CD ROM mod I saw floating around, but I would have to find it again.

Shelnutt has updated freegee to properly work and boot for us (the jb boot image and stuff has been taken care of). Now that is out of the way and we are unlocked/rooted zvb, could you make flashable zips for the 2 mods? would love to try them out
thanks
Always look forward to you and Epics stuff.
thanks op!
