[REQUEST]Hybrid R4 Final > AOSP Clone <

Hello,
Is there any chance we will see Eugene's AOSP Vibrant ROM on our I9000 Froyo ?
It would be what a lot of us are looking for in a while.
Link to Eungene's ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773018

The vibrate version is fully functional on I9000,
Use odin to flash JM9 first, the apply the ASOP on top. Very nice rom and the fastest for SGS, apps open instantly.

He did ask for a Froyo version though

Was not aware that this can be used with 2.1
Maybe I will give it a try
@DocRambone: I saw that you asked Eugene on how to optimize his ROM for I9000. What about porting this to 2.2 ?
I will buy you lots of beer.
Thanks

do the download and recovery keys stay in the same place if you put this rom on?

The port to froyo is a monumental task, and well above my skills.
Will need a truck of beer

Most likely yes. It should not affect Combo Buttons

Well, I am not rich enough for a truck, but I can give a pack or two
EDIT: I am currently flashing to JM9 with JM7 modem and CSC, then will apply R4. By any chance are you aware how to remove Vibrant logo at boot ?

what thas it mean can we put this rom in our i90000 with no trouble and the other rom like bionix?could we put them in there?

Dont know about bionix, but as Doc said, it should work with JM9. As said, I will flash and try and let you know the result. Fingers crossed.

Jm9 and this excellent rom is ok, i use it right now.
There is a bug tho:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8702548&postcount=964

This ASOP r4 is not froyo, its 2.1 rom. Make sure that the rom you take from Vibrate forum don't include kernel or modem.. or you may brick your phone otherwise

So wat exactly do you need to do in odin after flashing JM9 with the zip file from the vibrant forum and the freezing fix?

Install jm9, factory reset, install the Hybrid r4Asop, use rootmangager (or other filemanager or adb) to put the playslogo file in system/bin

When you install the Hybrid r4Asop rom, do you use the normal recovery or something else?

I use clockwork recovery.

ok, thanks. Will give it a shoot and report back.

Ok, have a problem. Flashed JM9 and now my SIM card does not accept PIN. It constantly staying at unlocking SIM card... Any idea ?

This rom is so bloody fasttt on my i9000 im loving it right now omgsh orgasm*

Indeed very very fast... Too bad my SIM does not get unlocked. Its useless to me

Porting Roms

With the SII, there were Threads on how to port Roms from the international to US version. I tried a few and was successful and I'm really not a programmer but willing to learn. Since there appears to be similarity between the Note 8 and 10.1 could a "how to" be developed to do this? Maybe its too hard and too involved, but thought I'd ask.

I cant say this will work for sure, as i dont have the device I cant say. But considering the similarities between devices, this is what you should do:
1. replace usr / vendor / bin / xbin from 8.0 to 10.1 rom
2. replace boot.img
3. logcat alot.

Tried a 10.1 Rom but when I tried to replace the files It wouldn't let me. Got an error code.

Unpack both to seperate folders, replace the stuff, repack as zip. goto CWM and mount system just in case and flash

I ended up doing that. flashed it. Got though the Aroma and booted. Got the boot sound but the screen was black. I didn't do anything to the build prop, would that have a problem? I didn't mount system.

Thankyou for that! im one step closer to getting the note 8.0. Anyways do
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
and send me the output file. From there we can figure out what went wrong.

Sorry not familiar with adb and getting logcat. In reviewing the setup from Aroma I noticed it flashed the 10.1 8010 wifi only kernel. Maybe I have to flash the kernel for the 5110. How do I get the kernel for the 5110?

http://pastelink.me/dl/f69bca here you go. replace boot.img in aroma folders with this.
or package to tar and flash with odin

I had previously replaced the boot image in all the options. I replaced them again and flashed. Same situation, get boot sound but black screen. I have been using this one ROM maybe I'll give another one a try. But will stop for today. Thanks for your help.

Tried another ROM this morning. Started booting but black screen. Been trying to port Note 10.1 Roms. Checking the specs the Note 8.0 looks more like a large Note II. Any Ideas about porting from the Note II to the Note 8.0?

A little more to get you going: 7SV917532E125122K

Its great that we are working to get developers interested in the Note8.0. There are already many custom Roms out for the 10.1 and the Note II.
With the similar Hardware on both these devices I would hope we could find a way of porting some of these Roms to the Note 8.0. This would open up the options to Note 8.0 users dramatically. I have attempted to port but I don't have the skills needed. Can anybody with more knowledge be it the original developer or a more experienced person get behind this effort?

Yeah stock ROMs can be ported easily (after i find all proprietary files for this device). The first one i'll be porting is this:

If a rom doesn't include FFC capability

Theres other camera apps that support it right? or do you just need to chose a rom that does have the capability?

What kind of ROM are you talking about? Because you won't find any Jelly Bean with FFC and market apps don't work either. Do not waste money or time looking for a FFC. It's not gonna happen. If you want a badass ROM that has the look, speed, and performance of a newer ROM with everything working, try this ROM out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141593
Throw the Next 3D launcher on that badboy and you're gonna be in good shape. Promise.
You can find lots of information here about this if you dig a little. There is a search box. Get familiar with that, and you'll learn a lot on your own.

It's cool bro. You can ask any questions you want. Don't hesitate. I might not be able to answer them all, but I can help you find an answer. As for finding out which phone model you have, go to settings, then about phone. Look at the model number. If it says PC36100 you have the Evo 4G, otherwise known as the OG. If it's anything else besides PC36100, you'll have to google it to find out what kind of phone you have.

The og (HTC evo 4g, aka supersonic) does have a ffc but it only has drivers for Gingerbread Roms. You have flashed roms from this forum I have tried helping you with some of your mms issues. If you had the lte than your phone would most likely be in sad shape. Flashing things not designed for your phone can cause big issues even brick it ( phone will never work again). As some users have found out the hard way already.
So plainly put you have an Og. Now this should have been the first question you asked before flashing anything.
Also I am working on a couple cricket roms for all the users on here. The first set will be sense based sense 1.0, 3.0, and 3.5. All with confirmed working mms and great battery life. I am also working on cm7, ics, and jelly bean.

Thank you again for your help gentlemen. I figured I had the OG but was starting to wonder when I read incorrect info saying the OG didn't have a ffc. I'm becoming more proficant in flashing roms and terms and what to look for in a Rom. A sense cricket Rom would thrill me as editing apns is not working. The only thing I've had work was a mazwoz everything cricket Rom, however as stated before the roms battery usage was 1% a minute, no Bluetooth capability, (which id rather over a ffc) .
With the newest recovery options, (especially including the usb toggle feature) bricking seems like it'd be impossible .

You know, soul hacker posted the Cricket mms apk that you can manually download and install yourself..... Its all in the same thread as Mazwoz Cricket ROM......

forgive me if I sound stupid, but 4.2 or 4.1 for what? I downloaded the apk in that ROM post of 4.2 copied it over to system apps, the permissions were already set how they should be rebooted and it would force close when I would try and open it .I even used Titanium Backup to try and restore it over it wouldn't restore, and tried using package installer and it would say parsing error or something like that. I'm currently running the digital karma rom v9.

Is there a ffc fix for this Rom? other roms I've seen got this working.

No FFC for any jellybean or ICS ROMs. Only gingerbread (2.3.5) ROMs will have FFC.

Also you will want to use an amon Ra style recovery. Cwm and twrp are not very good options for this phone. Diablo has a few themed versions you might like.

So after 2 weeks of trying to figure out MMS much thanks to wambo bomb and the rest of you in this thread for your patience with this newb I got MMS working on the fast and stable, (with Bluetooth) dirty unicorn ROM.(battery is bad which is why its been draining so quickly with other ROMs) I shoulda known the MMS 4.2 stood for androids version. For some weird reason I was thinking it was the mms's version. I find it interesting older versions of android have the FFC working though but not newer ones. Oh well I'd much much rather have MMS than FFC. If I had money to donate to you and the others I definatly would I'm sorry I don't though. As stated before I'm disabled and can't get on disability yet. If I do get on it I'll be happy to donate to all of you for your help. Many thanks again for educating me so I can help others in the future.

[Q] Advise on Rom choice

Hey People,
Looking for advise on a Rom for the Note II - I am a new Note II owner,
I have SLIMFAST 4.4 v-4 on it now...
I have not looked around enough to know what ROM is the most complete - I want KitKat.. but I want most complete..
I really would like to put one rom on, and not touch for the next long while if possible.
Suggestions? I want USABLE 1st .. not cutting edge.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.

The best thing to do at XDA is read and learn. Reading the forums is the best way to find what you are seeking. Closed.

new developer, help please.

Thank you for your time.
First of all I have been rooting and unlocking many android devices and variants for years now. I have had some amazing success at it as I am pretty good at reading and following directions. I have decompiled and made some small mods to different roms, edited build.prop files. I am well versed in adb and fastboot commands as well as using odin and heimdall. i know how to record and read logcats.
That said I have a bootloader unlocked dev edition vzw s5, and would like to try my hand at fully porting a rom. Specifically from a GSM s5 to Verizon CDMA. Once I get it functional on MY device i would then like to mod it to be safestrap flashable for those that dont have dev edition verizon s5's. I should also mention i have the dev's blessing to do this and if i share it i will make sure first and foremost to give the original dev credit.
The problem is all the guides i find, even on here, seem to be outdated and dont quite work all the way. So if someone could point me to a good CURRENT (android 5.0 and up) guide for this or maybe guide me a little through the process, I would be eternally gratefull and would include whoever helps (and there donation links) in the credits if i share the finished rom.
Again thank you in advance for your time and consideration, if it weren't for the community here at xda the entire android world would be a much more different and boring place.

I am looking to bring the maverick s6 v4.5 to the Verizon s5. It is already available for every other variant

Hi there, i was wondering, a re e you gonna release that rom if you got it working? And could you share your process on converting the radio stuff? Ive been looking into doing the same with my sprint galaxy s5 (uses same technology to connect to the cell towers) but have been in the same situation as you. Thanks.

Are familiar with decompiling and rebuilding apks, modding the build.prop, framework-res and rebuilding roms?

Yes to everything ecxpet for the building apks part lol. Yeah feel free to write out a how to guide on doing it, because there are probably people out there who would love that, including me! And i think there might also be someone who will create a script thatll do it automatically, Depending on what the process is.
