[ROM][3.2]Contingency v1.0b1[5/16/12]

Alright members of the I957 community, I know it's been a long time coming, but I'm proud to (finally) present to you a custom ROM designed specifically for our devices: Contingency! There are a couple of things I need to rattle off in this description before I can get down to business. 1. Due to some error in updater-scripts causing incredible lag with CWM flashes, this ROM is Odin-based only. If you aren't very good with Odin/need a refresher, look down below for a quick little tutorial to help get you started. 2. Due to my lack of an actual cellular data account for this device, it's difficult for me to tell you whether or not the data is working... I'm 99% it is functional in this build, but in future builds I may need a tester to discern for me.
Features & Added Apps
Da_g's OC Kernel
CWM Recovery
Rooted
Zipaligned
Deodexed
Bloat Removed
Build.prop performance tweaks
System Tuner for OC/UV
Titanium Backup
Go Launcher HD (If you're a Touchwiz hater)
As you can probably see, this is a very bland ROM right now; I just had my first successful Odin flash of it yesterday, and the testing lead all the way up to today.
Stuff To Add/Do (Taking Suggestions)
Extended Power Menu
CRT-Off
Bravia
Xloud
Edit Name in build.prop
Put data monitor back in
Theming
Due to my little experience in the world of Tablet modding, I could really use some help as to what you guys would like to see in future builds of Contingency.
Instructions For Odin Flash (It's In Red Because It's Important)
A data wipe is optional, but I recommend it.
Download the .rar of Contingency from the link below
Extract out "Contingency vX.tar" to a place you'll remember it
Open up Odin
Navigate to your Contigency.tar and load it into the PDA slot
Make sure your Tab is in download mode (Power Button + Both Volumes)
MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS UNCHECKED!!!!!!111!!!!!111?!?!?!!11!11!%[email protected]^#
Hit start
Go grab a snack, sit back, and watch that progress bar
Screenshots
Look at your Stock Tab... Now back to me. Unfortunately, I'm not your stock tab, but that's what Contingency looks like.

Since this is Odin, do I need to be rooted to flash this?

Excellent job, will flash this weekend!

Awesome!
jomeister15, You Da Boss!
I'll flash this in about 12 hours when I am back at home with my i957, and I'll let you know how data is doing. If I get no data action, what is the fallback to get to the original rom?
Thanks very much for this!

Ha, I guess you're right, there isn't really a way to get back to stock if you mess something up... I'll set up a stock firmware repository later today.

Damn! Double damn! Nice....! Finally! Thank you!
Looking forward for:
The Extended Power Menu with the recovery option...

if you want wifi hotpost use quick tether from market. it activate usb and wifi tethering.

I'm gonna charge mine up for a little bit and try this rom out later. I only got 30% charge currently.
Bought mine used a couple of months ago. Still has an active SIM in it from the original purchasers account. Guess the termination fee was too steap or they needed the cash and decided to live with the $30 a month
I mainly use it on wifi but will test it out on ATT network to see. I just pop it on once in a while to see if it's still active. Just checked and it was!
If it's a nogo I can just use Odin with the original rom from ATT/Samsung? I already have it downloaded as I've use it twice to reset mine.
Waiting for ICS sucks!
Does this still have the ATT data monitor app?
Thanks!

No issues with flashing the rom. First bootup was a little scary as it stayed on the Android animation screeen for a while. Wound up doing a factory reset once up and running to clear up some issues. Seems to get more responsive after it sits for a while and after a couple of reboots. Had a couple of issues with updating the app store and maps but it seemed to work itself out after a couple of tries.
ATT data is functional for those who are interested. I don't live in a LTE area but it's getting closer by the month.
ATT data monitor app is gone. No biggy but was nice to see how much free data I have left....Hoping original owner keeps my data plan going!
Active applications widget can be added but only clicks when touched. Guess the app is no longer included....No big deal just thought I'd mention it.
Looks like there is alot of stuff to play around with as far as tweaks go. Not sure what they all do but guess I'll check them out later.
Thanks again!
I'll let you guys know if I see anything else that is worth mentioning.

Now that you mention the AT&T data monitor app from the tablet, (poster above) I was trying to get the app working on the galaxy note and I failed. I installed the apk from the tablet to the Galaxy Note via Titanium and manually... I see the app and the widget on the Note perfectly, but I am unable to link it to my phone data plan... Any ideas? I was able to get to a screen were is asking for some credentials that are out of my hands... I guess they are AT&T credentials for my account in order to set or link the monitoring app...

So I've made a NANDroid backup from recovery with CWM already.
If this rom fails, will I be able to do a restore of the stock rom?

It would be best to save a copy of your nandroid backup somewhere safe like on your computer just in case you need it later. Not sure if Odin will nuke it or not. My tab was pretty much stock when I flashed it today as I used Odin to restore the stock rom a couple of weeks ago. If I remember correctly a folder in root is no longer there. Not 100% sure what it was called but I'm thinking it was preloaded or preinstalled. Not needed anyways as it was ATT apps/bloatware if I remember correctly.
I'm not sure about the rom failing and nandroid back thing. Maybe somebody else knows forsure.
I'm thinking if you for some reason don't like this rom you'd have to maybe use Odin to flash the stock rom back first, then install the kernel you were using and then move the nandroid back to the tab if it was deleted and then flash it back.

As soon as there is a link to download the original Stock AT&T ROM I will be installing this ROM...

[MOD] NFC With the Screen Off

Wow. It's been a long time since I made anything useful. Not being able to use NFC with the screen off has always been a pet peeve of mine with my Nexus, so I figured I'd fix it
This is a modified Nfc.apk, which is the system NFC service that runs at boot. It allows you to scan NFC tags either with the screen totally off, or with the screen on but still at the lockscreen. You get to choose which one you want to flash. Just download one of the zips below, and flash it via recovery (tested with ClockworkMod). To restore to stock, just pick the stock version.
The screen off version means you can ALWAYS scan an NFC tag. Don't have to turn the screen on or anything. Just touch the phone to the tag.
The lockscreen version lets you scan a tag whenever the screen is on, but it doesn't have to be unlocked. You can't scan while the screen is off, but you can just touch the power button to get to the lockscreen and then scan. If you have a passcode, no need to unlock your phone to scan a tag.
This has been compiled against CyanogenMod and tested on my own self-built tree based off CyanogenMod source. There is nothing here that should be specific to that ROM.
Devices
Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus)
Fully working on CyanogenMod based ROMs
Fully functional on most AOKP ROMs. Throws random errors on some, but everything still works.
Not functional on some stock ROMs
GSM Galaxy Nexus (maguro)
Fully working on CyanogenMod based ROMs
Fully functional on most AOKP ROMs. Throws random errors on some, but everything still works.
Not functional on some stock ROMs
Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro)
Untested as far as I know. If you test it let me know
Should be similar to other Galaxy Nexus SKUs
HTC One X
The user StephanSch has created a version for the One X. Get it in this post.
Only screen off seems to work, not lockscreen.
Don't know if this is for the Qualcomm S4 based One X or the Tegra 3 base. Not sure about carrier versions either.
Samsung Galaxy SIII
The user mayhemer has created a version for the SIII. Get it in this post.
I'm not aware of which version of the SIII this is for, now which ROM. As soon as I have info, I'll update it here.
Nexus S
Reported working from at least one user. Don't know GSM or CDMA version, nor which ROM.
Probably working on any CM9 build for either SKU, and possibly stock or AOKP.
It probably will not work on any manufacturer based skins on any other device.
If you try it on any other device, please let me know how it goes! I'll update the OP with your results!
Also of note, I do not know if this will allow you to use Wallet any differently than you can right now. I don't have any way to test it, and don't personally use Wallet. If you do, let me know whether it works or not so I can update this post!
Liability Disclaimer: As always, I hereby absolve myself of responsibility for any damage you cause to your phone by flashing this. There is inherent risk in modding your device, and by flashing anything in this thread you are taking that risk into your own hands. If something goes wrong, I will try and help, but I am not God.
Source Code Disclaimer: The only code modified here was given under the Apache v2 license. That means that I am not required to release source for this. It is an incredibly simple mod at this point, but I plan on taking it into the next level and creating a patch that makes this an option in settings, rather than a zip you have to flash. I will release source with this, but I want to wait until I clean it up and submit it to the CyanogenMod Gerrit as a full feature, rather than a cheap hack! Sorry if that disappoints anyone, I just wanted to get this out ASAP.
In the meantime, I explain what I'm doing in this post. That should be enough info if you're compiling from source, and might be enough if you are using a Smali edit. If you're critically concerned about it, shoot me a PM or an email and I'll try and help more.
How things stand for Jellybean:
I put this on hold for a while. The further I got into making this a toggleable option in settings, the deeper things ran into the system code. With the big change to Jellybean around the corner, I want to wait until Jellybean becomes the main CM branch so I can avoid the breaks that all the code churn will cause. I'm not done with this, but there's no point in putting the work in to make it fully functional when CM10 is around the corner to break it all. I'll get on it as soon as CM10 becomes closer to release. Before the code freeze for CM10.
In the mean time, @PHtQuE got ahold of me on Twitter and I told him what was happening. I gave him a couple pointers and he got it compiling on Jellybean at the same level it is right now on ICS. I may be wrong, but I believe this is his post right here. Regardless, this is a working screenoff version for JB.

Reserved, just in case...

That will definetly come in good use. Thanks

Hmmm... I've always been able to use Google wallet with the screen off. I'm not sure about any other nfc use though.

Awesome man, thanks. Just bought some NFC stickers to mess around with and this was my biggest problem. Really appreciate it.

Nice!! So the screen of one is only if the screen is off without a lockscreen?

It's definitely possible. I'm working on getting the option in Settings now, and should have it working by the end of the day. Once there's an option in Settings, it should be super simple to add a notification bar toggle option as well. Haven't messed with that part before, but it's not too dissimilar from WiFi toggling, so I've got code to look at.
I was hoping to get the settings mod done in time to submit it to CM before they started the code freeze for CM9. Well, they went into code freeze this morning so I missed that. I'll still get it submitted ASAP, but don't expect to see it in the initial CM9 official build unless you use the nightlies. I'll of course update everything once I submit the patch and if it gets accepted.

In theory, it should work on any 4.0.4 base ROM, on any NFC device. No guarantees though

This is just what I've been looking for (FOR AGES) I know that it doesn't come like this from stock, due to the potential security risks, but sod it! Lol, i love it.
Thanks for the fantastic work

im curious as to the effect on battery life. how noticeable is the difference?

I think that this is a great feature. But I thought that the reason
the NFC only worked with the screen on and phone unlocked was
a security reason. Meaning someone could not just walk up to
you and scan your phone without you knowing. you would have to
have the phone on for anything to work. I think that the settings
idea is great that way if you want to open then you can have it open
if you want it closed then you can keep it like stock. Great work. Worked
good on my GNexus (Sprint).

I can't speak for the battery life, as my phone is plugged in either for tethering or testing code all day. Shouldn't be too noticeable.

Security is exactly the reason it doesn't come like this by default. It's also why I made two versions. If you're worried about security, then flash the lockscreen version and you have to turn the phone on to be able to scan.
Currently, there is no way that I know of to get anything malicious by scanning against someone's will. It doesn't just offer up credit card numbers when you scan it. If you have NFC Task manager on your phone, someone could scan it and make it start an app you have installed or turn off wifi or something mundane like that, but that's about it. Plus they'd have to get within ~5" of your pocket

It would appear that the One X's Nfc.apk has different hardware support. When I flashed your zip, NFC ReTag couldn't detect NFC hardware any more. And the option for NFC disappeared in Settings. Nothing a restore of the original apk couldn't fix, but it's unfortunate it didn't work.
Any chance you'd be willing to share what edits you made? If it's smali, I can probably tweak the One X's apk to be similar.

It's actually compiled from source. I've never messed with Smali, so I don't know how useful this will be. The easiest way is to tweak a variable called POLLING_MODE in the NfcService class. There are a couple different settings. 3 is the default, 2 works on lockscreen or unlocked, and 1 works with the screen off, at the lockscreen, or unlocked.
I don't think Smali keeps variable or function names, so that might be of no use at all.. The other method, in a function called applyRouting() there are a couple if/else statements that check if the current state matches POLLING_MODE or not. If you take those out, then it should also work although for some reason that only seems to enable it to the lockscreen level.
You should be able to see a copy of the file here, if that helps.

I did not mean anything by my comment, I think that having to turn the phone
on to use it is a bit much. I like that you have the ability to run it form the lock
screen. I understand that right now you really cannot do much with the NFC,
hacker wise, other than changing settings you are not stealing information by
scanning. But being that NFC is still new(ish) I also feel that all the security
holes have not been discovered. I just wanted people to consider every angle.
I still think that you have created a great feature.

I love what I'm seeing here, well done! Can anyone confirm if this breaks Google Wallet functionality?

[MOD] NFC With the Screen Locked/Off - UPDATE for BLG8/BLH1.

Update (30.08.2012): Added Packages for LFB. And a beta package for LH7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30905004&postcount=180
Update (24.08.2012): Added Packages for BLG8, BLG9 and BLH1 (nfcmodSGS3_lockscreenBLG8_BLH1.zip, nfcmodSGS3_screenoffBLG8_BLH1.zip and nfcmodSGS3_stock_deodexed_BLG8_BLH1.zip). Update for LFB will follow soon.
In the Samsung Galaxy S3 Stock ROM NFC does not work when screen is off or locked. With this mod NFC also works when screen is locked or off.
There are two versions. The first just enables NFC, when screen is on, but it also worked when it is locked. Also with a PIN or Password-Lock everything is fine. But it disables NFC when the SGS3 is in standby and the screen is off.
The second version let NFC active all the time, even when the SGS3 is in standby and the screen is off.
Nothing else is changed in the behaviour of the NFC.
I also created a ZIP to go back to stock NFC. CAUTION: Use the stock zips only with the right firmware. The deodexed stock should work for all stock firmwares released yet.
All ZIPs have to be flashed with CWM. You should wipe Dalvik cache after flashing.
This mod works for at least for ALE8, ALF1, ALF2, ALF5, ALF6, BLG8, BLG9, LFB and BLH1.
For users of the AT&T S3 (SGS-I747), I created a version for this device too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740614. Please give me feedback, because I do not own this device and I cannot test the Mod on it!
For users of the Sprint S3 (SPH-L710), I created a version for this device too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28046812. Please give me feedback, because I do not own this device and I cannot test the Mod on it!
For users of the T-Mobile S3 (SPH-T999), I created a version for this device too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30920478. Please give me feedback, because I do not own this device and I cannot test the Mod on it!
Incompatibilities: This Mod seems not to work with CM9. This mod does not work with LFB now. Maybe the BLG8 version works for LFB8 but I have to validate this or someone has to test it. I will provide an update for LFB the next days.
Disclaimer: As always, I hereby absolve myself of responsibility for any damage you cause to your phone by flashing this. There is inherent risk in modding your device, and by flashing anything in this thread you are taking that risk into your own hands. If something goes wrong, I will try and help. You should always make a Nandroid Backup before flashing.
To ROM Devs: You are more than welcome to use this in your ROMs! Just shoot me a little bit of credit in your release post!
Thank you: Geniusdog254 for the idea and the infos in your thread.

Are there any implications for battery life of NFC being enabled when the screen is off?

I've not yet tested it but I think so. But I think the effect on battery life shall be less then for example bluetooth activated all the time, because NFC uses less power. But it can happen your SGS3 comes near a NFC-Tag and an communication starts without your knowledge. But this NFC-tag have to be very near to your S3 and normaly it cannot do anything on your phone if you haven't configured it so... But is's up to you. I prefer the lockscreen variant yet.

By disables it when the screen is off or in standby, does this mean it will use no power ie basically its turned off?
if so this is genius!

When you flash nfcmodSGS-3_lockscreen.zip NFC is disables when the screen is off. So NFC does need no power when the screen is off. But you also cannot use NFC with the screen off.

damn it... was waiting so much for that - you are my hero!!
thank you man!!!

An added benefit of a thread here is that users with under 10 posts can get some help (and won't have to PM me).
I will maintain just one thread (hopefully this works) for both ROMs and all carriers to help preserve my sanity.
Please be sure to specify which ROM you are using and the carrier.
Below are some examples of common types of posts and where they belong
Q&A and FAQ Thread:
"What kernel gives the best battery life with this ROM?"
"Is Nova launcher compatible with this ROM?"
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts!"
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap!"
"I just flashed this ROM and my GPS doesn't work. :crying:"
Development Thread:
"The new cellular data toggle isn't working (confirmed by another user)?"
"I keep getting FC's from SystemUI. Any thoughts?"
"I selected the green battery icons in Aroma but it installed the blues ones (I checked twice)."
"I just flashed this ROM and it bricked my device! "
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts!
(see attached screenshots from Better Battery Stats)."
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap!
(see attached screenshots from Better Battery Stats)."
**********************************************
There are exceptions to the examples above. If you are using a port and your GPS doesn't work I need to know that.
It will probably take some time for threads like this to evolve, so I am definitely open to feedback.

Hey guys,
ATT CSROM v1.4 GS3 - Love the ROM so far, once I got a lot of my apps and data restored and a few issues with that worked out.
Kind of a newb to customs roms. This is the first one I have put on my GS3.
As far as I can tell I am using the CS launcher and would like to the change the wallpaper on my lock screen. However when I bring up the selection screen it only give me the option to use the stock wallpapers.
Can I just move an image to the stock location and have it appear? Or is there another option?

Yeah, it get's tough sometimes. That is why guys like you and the other people that test for me are a huge help. You guys make my life a lot easier by helping out on the threads.
It won't be long before I stop supporting the Atrix. I just don't have the time and I don't use the device anymore.
There is also a pretty good chance I will close up shop for my Sprint and T-Mobile ports for this device. There is not much interest for my ROMs in either forum. Probably not a bad thing since that will lighten my workload.

I am wondering if this thread would be better in the general section. That way it can be Q&A, FAQ, and general discussion. But, like I said in the OP, this is a new concept to we will have to see how it evolves.

If you want to use anything other than a stock wallpaper for the lockscreen you need to have the Samsung gallery installed. The AOSP gallery is not compatible with the lockscreen for pics, or other images on your device.

Thanks for the answer!
Can more than one galleries coexists? If so, do I just select another one gallery in the Aroma installer and deselect all other options?
Im still kinda fuzzy on the modify/upgrade process within the installer.

Re: [Q&A][FAQ] CSROM and Graviton
Yes they can Co exist. I can't remember how many there are in aroma but you can download as many as you want. I have three not including quickpic

It's a great ROM and I used it as a base to mess with flashing different things and learning stuff. Dev and testers always help.
No matter how many others I try I come back haha

Yeah I'm learning to port and build from source at the moment so this will stay as my daily driver for sure.

Just a mention,
I installed Light Flow Lite yesterday and toyed around with it. Long story short it broke the AOSP lock screen. By broke I mean any time I would put my phone into sleep then wake it up and interact with any function of the lock screen it would become unresponsive and reboot (fast reboot I think).
I was finally able to get out of it by bringing the notification window down and getting into settings. Disabled the lock screen and the device was fine. Uninstalled Light Flow and wiped the data with TB, but the lock screen is still broken. Haven't tried the touchwiz lock screen for fear of it being broken too.
Aside from that the batt life is amazing and everything works wonderfully. Even got another gallery installed via Aroma and can change the lock screen wallpaper (not that im using a lock screen right now).

Based on what I have read on this apps web site it wasn't meant for an aosp rom. That sounds like a matter of app not being compatible with the rom so I would say not the roms fault.
Glad you were able to get things back to normal.

You are the second or third user that had this happen. I will add a warning to the OP.
If I remember correctly, Light Flow works fine with the stock lockscreen. But you might want to wait until someone that actually uses it chimes in.

Thanks, I couldnt really find anything else that mentioned having that kind of trouble, but it definitely makes sense. And I wasnt blaming it on the ROM, just saying it was a side effect.
Maybe the mention will keep someone else from breaking their lock screen.
Again, thanks for the great rom!!

[Q] Google Edition 4.3 (09/07/2013) Question

Being that I'm a noob (<10 posts), I can't post this in the actual ROM thread (mods, please move if you deem it appropriate).
I wanted to ask if there was a way in Google Edition 4.3 to change the clock settings to *NOT* display the hour in bold font?
Is that functionality available and I'm missing it in the settings?
Thanks yeahmann for putting that together and to the entire XDA community for all the hard work!.

As far as I know you can't change the look and feel of the widget in 4.3, however you can always install Cyanogenmod cLock widget where you can customize it. Hope this helps.

It does help -- thank you.
I actually ended up flashing CM-10.2 because of the availability of better config options and am so far loving it.
Thanks again and best wishes!

Whenever you get a chance can you please let me know how's CM 10.2 working for you so far? I mean can that be used as a daily driver with major things (GPS, Bluetooth, NFL, camera etc) working without any issues. If so please let me know which nightly did you flash.
Thanks.

So far, CM 10.2 is rock-solid. I flashed The Sept 5 Nightly. Reason being - Friday gives me 2 days if something doesn't work.
I tried AOKP (too many options for me -- never thought I'd say that) and both Virgin and 'stock' GE (4.3) ROMs (a bit too stock for me).
I have so far set up email (GMail and Work using K-9 + Invitation Processor) and customized some options/appearance (cLock is da-shizznit). The camera works perfectly. I have not set up Bluetooth and not used GPS, yet, but will try both tomorrow on my way to/from work. One thing that I still need to figure out is the file-system layout inside Android (i.e. /storage/0 vs. /storage/legacy, etc...) as I'm apparently using 7.4GB out of 9.6GB available. This is probably because the stock T-Mo version left most of its guts behind and/or I incorrectly cleaned the device after having flashed all the ROMs.
One thing that I've noticed (with all the ROMs, except stock T-Mo) was that when you press the power button to lock/shut-off the screen, it ends up shutting off like an old-school TV. With the stock version, it would go dark seamlessly.
Regardless, I really enjoy having this phone now that I flashed CM on it. The fact that they provide an 'update-CM' option directly inside the settings is awesome in its own right. I'll update this thread once I give GPS and BT a run (can't promise I'll run TV apps on it, though -- that's not my cup-o-tea).
Best!

if you find certain things to be a bit buggy on CM, give Virgin Rom another try. the hardware elements of the phone work flawlessly. in an ideal world, someone would use Virgin Rom as a base and "Cyanogenize" it so that more things were customizable, such as Quick Setting toggles. CM is great, but the nightlies don't have the stability that the GE Roms have, obviously.

Thanks for your inputs...I guess back up of your old Roms may be eating up your internal space (if you have backed them up )...the old tv animation is the crt animation which Google introduced in ICS 4.0

Aaah! Good to know (about the TV animation).
I haven't backed up my old ROMs, but I'll definitely investigate space usage once I find some time.
Tested GPS and BT this morning: played a few songs over the car radio streaming over BT - awesome.
GPS is working good, too. I get a lock within 10 seconds of starting any app requiring GPS.
Thanks to all!

Even I flashed the RC2 last night. Using it for a few hours only, but it's rock solid as you mentioned.
