x2 for me. Maps was crashin' on me yesterday.
To those having problems: Did you flash the "Kingsformatall.zip" look at the instructions on the page and it has a copy, with out it your phone goes bonkers, and do a normal wipe after. Also if you are using Titanium, manually restore your apps otherwise the ones he has made custom blakk will go back to normal and have FC issues.
And on another note, I happen to like the all black if you use a BG with bright colors it makes it pop. Plus black conserves battery...
Hey ! Waivig Yellow Flag here.....
Hi guys, I not a prolific poster here but I’ve been following you gear heads at the Kings Rom Thread and would like to offer “Props” for all your great info…. You guys are the best…
I am not a Techie, I have ability to change ROM with “white knuckle” confidence, LOL.
I have been running R3 with Blue Ballah (even though I hate the boot audio & image (it is very skateboard / 9th grade)) and finding it somewhat buggy but like the look. As I read this forum I am learning it is probably time to update my ROM.
Here are a few questions:
If I update to R5, how can I keep a black theme and keep my apps and data in place ?
I understand if I update to R5 I will lose the Blue Ballah theme but what will be the default them ?
I also have a question about SD card, I would like to know if there is an app to protect necessary items for the phone and delete or manage the rest ? Memory is running short and I am not sure what files are expendable without messing the phone or apps up.
Appreciate link/s for step by step instructions or any other help useful for a guy that knows enough to be dangerous and stands in awe of all you monster EVO Techie’s
Thank In Advance and Props keep the great info coming….
First I would like to give credit to everyone who has worked on GBX0* in any way. ACL, arrrghhh, detule, and Stinger22 to name a few important faces around here. I do not take credit for 99% of this. It is a modded version of the GBX already published on XDA.
Stinger22 is responsible for building the killer new kernel. I packaged the kernel into a boot.img and collected all the compatible updates into a single installable Zip with lots of tweaks.Stinger22 deserves big thanks for his work here.
There will be limited support for this build. Feel free to ask questions, and even better if you can help answer them. If you know how to fix something that is broken I would love to hear from you. I would be happy to include anything that you can contribute.
Due to the number of people unhappy with the RHOD100s phones and this rom, we do not recommend it for the RHOD100s (not that we ever did as we only have RHOD400s to test with).
New install guide.
Now what you came for:
GBX*
Includes:
GBX 5-8-12 lib update.
Slightly smoother boot animation used.
Build.prop tweaks.
Added a couple of ringtone/media sounds.
Superuser replaced with SuperSU .97
Modded audio.conf file to allow for the streaming of media metadata from apps like Pandora when the advanced menu / car bluetooth mode is enabled in the app. Also this change should allow for more Bluetooth devices to connect to the phone. Does only appear to support AVRCP 1.0, so no metadata without extra app support. However track forward/back/pause will work with some setups.
Added circle battery icons with %s for more precise gauging. Shows in 5% blocks. What you see is +/-3% of what the battery is really reporting. Based off the themes here. It is better than a half filled bar IMHO. It might take a full discharge or two before the battery gague/acl code becomes accurate. The battery also tends to drop quickly in the first 10% and then levels off.
RHOD300 keyboard fix. Credit to Detule
Changed RHOD100 from default keyboard to RHOD100_UK keyboard map.
Fix to ramdisk to resolve error reported during boot.
Fix to bluetooth main.conf to prevent bluetooth media devices from crashing OS. *only included in the 3.4.26.1 and newer full build*
-Still have issues where connecting/disconnecting the sink device can sometimes cause the phone to reboot. Seems sink device dependent. Mostly fixed in 3.4.26.13
Fixed bluetooth typo bug to 3.4.26.1 in 3.4.26.11
Boot animation in 3.4.26.13 credit.
3.4.17 Kernel update:
Including ACL's newer battery code.
More accurate readings from battery gague.
Maybe slightly better sleep battery usage.
Small Bluetooth fix (I find paring to be easier).
Kernel panic fix that may help prevent phone lockup if apps crash.
Many other small patches.
Fixed USB detection issue in 3.4 kernels.
Overclocking still supported. (SetCPU is free to XDA members)
Added a hack supplied by detule to prevent the sd card reader from suspending to prevent unexpected sd card removal errors.
Added a kernel splash screen to cover up some of the rolling text during boot time. Credit.
Sleep works with wifi turned on. - Battery life should improve where wifi prevented sleep before. Wifi tethering will prevent wifi sleep.
Zoom slider bar now works. Acts like a two finger touch moving from the center of the screen. If you tap on the zoom bar it will be just like tapping in the middle of your screen. Something to keep in mind if you get unexpected touches while holding the bottom of your phone. More benefit than a draw back IMHO. Added permission files. Link at bottom for those who just need this (based off of mankineko's work).
3.4.24 Kernel *minor update*
Includes updates from source.
Added code to cause system to reboot rather than hang from a system crash.
3.4.26 Kernel
Reboot function in shutdown menu has been fixed (power off is still broken)
Host file is no longer over written on boot up. This had been preventing ad blocker apps from working correctly.
ACL's panel code has been used. Hopefully this will resolve some issues for the RHOD100 users. We have no way to test, so it is as-is.
Auto brightness has been fixed. You may need to press the power button and force the lcd off, after it has been enabled, before it will take effect.
Device name is no longer reported as 00000000 by ADB. It should show as the serial number.
3.4.35 Kernel
Slight performance tweaks.
Added CrossBreeder mod. Basically helps tethering internet.
Added "Smartassv2" cpu governor. Can be set using apps like SetCPU. Should be slightly better performance, but may come at the cost of battery life.
Added "row" scheduler.
3.4.41 Experimental Rhod400 Kernel.
Shutdown working
Fps limit fixed, plus a slight gpu performance boost (previously was benching about 19fps for both 2d/3d, now I'm getting up to 60fps 2d, 26fps 3d)
Enabled more compiler optimizations. Kernel is slightly larger, but seems to perform a bit better
USB: No need to plug/unplug once before adb works, faster cable connection detection
Other miscellaneous tweaks that may or may not help battery life
Known bugs:
Many of these bugs are found in the 3.X kernels, and so they may be found here too.
MMS does not work out of the box. Add this APN info if you want it.
Google maps newer than 5.9 shows graphic distortions with street names, and other graphic issues sometimes. Waze is a good gps alternative if you want something with more features.
Shutdown and reboot options on the power button menu do not work.
Auto backlight does not work.
8-15-12 RIL update breaks radio (on CDMA for sure/no reports from GSM owners).
SD card unexpected removal errors when the phone wakes from sleep on *some* phones. -try a non SDHC sd card if all other standard troubleshooting fails. I have been able to use a 512mb and 1gb card micro sd card without issue. However all my 4,8,16, and 32gb micro SDHC cards have this issue. Hacked work around as of update 3.4.17.
May have to remove and reinsert USB cable a few times before the phone will recognize it has been plugged into a data port. Also you may need to turn features on/off to get the correct tethering/usb storage/usb debug to work correctly.
No front facing camera support for RHOD100.
Deleting bluetooth.apk may be necessary to get the phone to connect to some Bluetooth devices that have any advanced features.
If Bluetooth is left on and the phone is rebooted/crashes, the unit may bootloop. I have not found a fix other than reloading the Rom from recovery.
This bug seems to effect A2DP and other audio streaming devices the most v.s a bluetooth mono ear piece for calling with. This is a bug I have been able to repro on the GBX*+ 3.3.6 kernel as well. Make backups before using Bluetooth. If you are a CDMA user, you could try the original Ril from inside the GBX+3.x rom. It seemed to cause the reboot loop a little less. However GSM users must have the 5-8 Ril to use this Rom.
Found that this bug seems to be for devices that support multiple profiles. I have a Bluetooth receiver that will use phone and media profiles. If the phone profile is disabled the lock-ups do not happen. This work around will not let you use the phone features, but you can stream media. You need to pair the device. Then long touch it to get a to an options menu. Uncheck the phone profile option to stop the crashes when playing any media.
Sometimes if the phone locks up during the boot animation from this issue, then you reboot once or twice, and leave it alone for a long long time it will sometimes finally finish booting. It is worth a couple of reboots, and a lot of waiting vs reloading the rom. It also seems to help if you plug the phone into the usb on a computer after the boot process has passed the blue screen.
Pandora's internal/advanced bluetooth settings must be turned off, otherwise it may crash the phone on device disconnect.
Bluetooth is not 100% stable, and may crash the phone on connecting or disconnecting devices. During use it is stable.
If the phone crashes while bluetooth is turned on it may boot loop. If this happens connect the phone's usb port to a charger or usb port on a computer. This should cause it to boot correctly on the next time around.
Sprint phones must be activated on the Sprint network in WM before loading Android. Android can not activate everything correctly.
It has been reported that the keymap for the RHOD300 is not correct.
Not an Android bug, but Sprint DNS services are crap. I found good working links not working correctly due to bad dns info. Of course you can use any public dns server you like.
A suggestion for getting your own dns in more easily is this App.
If you tether on Sprint I suggest that you put your own DNS server in under the TCP/IP settings on client device as it will only use sprint's by default. I leaned this the hard way.
RHOD100 WIFI may not reconnect to access point automatically upon waking from sleep. Disable and reconnect to work around.
This Rom was only tested on the Sprint TP2 RHOD400. It will probably work on any that worked with the GBX0* + 3.3.x kernel, but we can't promise it.

New install guide.
Old install directions for all other NAND roms.
It is assumed that you have unlocked your phone. If not read here and/or here, and/or here.
If you are running the 8-15 ril that was patched, and you are unable to get a cell signal, I would highly suggest that you install the older patch ril file.
If you want to add just the permission files for the zoom bar (and a few other things) rather than downloading the whole thing again here they are. When I did this it broke Zeam. I had to add another launcher, and then switch between the two. That fixed it for me.
As always BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP before doing anything. Please use at your own risk.
*Related goodies*
Gapps package.
For those of you who want an ICS facelift, check out the modded Zeam launcher.
Most recent recovery thread. - this recovery creates a md5 error on a backup's restore. Anyone know how to fix it?
ACL's known good recovery.
Good chance you will need to calibrate your touch screen. This thread covers that,and how to make it stick.
I may have found a launcher that is more lightweight than Zeam from what I can tell. I am running Lighting Launcher, and am quite happy. Seems to have an even smaller memory footprint, which is great for phones without much memory.
Swapper2 app. This is an interesting thing I found the other day. It allows you to use your SD card for swap (Virtual ram). I did verify that a 64mb swap file (did not test swap partition) can work on our phones. I would love to hear some feedback from people who might be interested in playing with it. I would suggest a Micro sd card with a high random read/write speed. Here is a guide that is already made if you want to use a swap partition rather than a swap file. It will probably wear out your sd card faster, but sd cards are cheap these days. Also note that SD storage vie USB may not work if you use this mod.
Update.
I got out my 32gb high random speed sd card today, and I whipped up a swap partition according to the guide above. I bumped the swappyness setting to 100. I was in a generous mood, so I lopped off 1gb of space for swap (256mg would have probably been a better choice). I did get a name error when I enabled it, but it seemed to work just fine. The swap space of 1gb showed up by the free command, and the swap space showed use after I ran a few apps. It is a subjective observation, but I think multitasking is a little smoother. I plan on leaving it setup like this for now.

I did manage to max out the cpu, and crash the system resulting in a reboot. I was running two gps apps, and two music apps, and two or three other apps all at the same time (abit poorly though). It might not have liked having multiple apps access the same resources.
Here is a handy app for rebooting the phone quickly, and entering into recovery.
Possible way to disable the proxmity sensor for people who have bad ones causing a non-waking screen here. Credit.
*Bonus for Sprint RHOD400 TP2 users*
If you are tired of the white HTC splash screen here are two nbh files you can flash just like a rom from the SD card. They should only touch the splash screen. Everything else is left alone. Flash one, or both in any order. These probably work on other Rhod phones, but I have no way to test them. So no screaming if something gets bricked. Based off the work in this thread. Reported not working on RHOD100 by this post. Reported working on RHOD300 here.
If you know of an image (480x800 res) that is even more amazing than these, and you feel it would be a good replacement drop me a link to it. If I love it, it will make it to the first post. Otherwise I might just whip one up special for you for contributing.

As of 3-25-13 I have moved onto the EG4G/SII phone after reading about it and SERO legacy at Howardforums.
I will stop in from time to time, and if I am given a newer kernel I will post it. However I will no longer be using this phone.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
i tried a lil last night and today on your lite version. had a few issues with it but i think that was caused by my mistake. i know you said NO support with the lite version. so later on today im gonna try the "full" one without any of my added stuff.
thank you for your time in putting this together for us and everyone else who kept this old phone working so long.
edit: i have rhodium 400 btw

You are welcome to ask questions about the light version. Just don't *expect* any help with it. If I know the answer I will respond. Sorry if I came across as stern. Someone else might know the answer too.
I wanted to set the tone to be caveat emptor (to quote Stinger22). As the lite version is missing a whole lot it might be broken, or broken by anything. It is just something I whipped up to play with, and decided to share incase someone else wanted to play.
I am glad to keep up the fight. These are still great phones, even if they don't play the newest games.
Thanks for your comments.

hi again. i did the lite version again with my tweaks... meaning i hate using goole play or any of the google apps in general (privacy concerns deleted apk's after flash and successful boot).
im currently using it on my rhodium without service (have two, one on sprint service). so i cant confim it works in those aspects. wifi works otb. didnt try blue tooth. camera works as expected. didnt try audio/video yet (we all know rhod dont have HW support lol). miss the keyboard but can install if needed. couldnt for the life of me figure out how to use the modded zeam you suggested (not a deal breaker i like the orginal one). decent battery life but not what i expected. phone went from 8 hrs @ 70% then down to 10% within next hour. turn off dont work so well sometimes it wrks most times not. on [ACL]'s rom ive been using app called "quick boot" to bypass this goofy activity. works like a charm from widget.
can this be reworked into a gsm phone? kinda know i need to security unlock. but what im getting at return to winmo, change security, finda gsm phone provider, reflash this rom and good to go? or just skip those crazy ideas lol?
again thank you for the rom you shared with us :good:

Most of Google's stuff was left in place because more people than not consider accessing the Google account info critical. Even if only for contacts and such. Matter of personal choice I say.
I cut the keyboard APKs as we have a physical keyboard. You can just side load them or put them back in the install zip. I am using the ICS keyboard from the market. I like it better for my virtual keyboard with a stone bold theme.
This is based off the GBX* rom, so it should probably work with the GSM variants of the the RHODs. I didn't dev the new kernel, but it should work. You could try the most recent ril, but I know it breaks cdma phones. The most recent ril had a GSM signal loss tweak in it. I don't know of any security you need to deal with, and I can't recall coming across any comments in the original GBX* thread about that.
If you are talking about unlocking the sim so you can use a CDMA device on a GSM network, that is unrelated to the rom for the most part.
If you are running the lite version I posted, just uninstall Zeam with something like titanium backup, and replace it with the apk that is linked.
Otherwise you could swap it out in the zip file before you install. It is located in /system/apps.
If you manually delete the apk from the phone /system/app and paste the new one into it's place while Zeam is running it will probably require a reboot before Zeam works. Probably not the best way to go about it assuming nothing explodes.
If you can't get it to work I can make up a version with the other ICS themed zeam.
Maybe that will help a bit.
*edit*
Been fooling around a little with the modded Zeam on the lite version. For some reason it doesn't install the icons right if there is not a non-zeam launcher running. *shrug*
I installed launcher2 apk from the full rom for the install. Then was able to side load the modded zeam.
*edit 2*
I posted an ultra lite rom with the classic launcher.

im not happy with google selling my info so i refuse to give them any space on my phone lol
i tried the modded zeam all the ways i could think of, before flash, after flash, through adb didnt matter. maybe corrupt apk?
no worries. ill try to redownload it and try it your way with launcher2 first
~unlocking the sim so you can use a CDMA device on a GSM network... yeah im not looking forward to paying to sim unlock it
but i am hella glad you got the zoom bar working :good:.

Be ok with loosing the money. Some people have reported that they didn't get the unlock info, and the dev for that is next to impossible to get to respond.
You might check this thread. Not sure if they got it working.
Most of the credit goes to Stinger22. The man is kicking some serious code butt!
I would try re-downloading the apk. I was able to install it with a adb install. Not sure what else it could be. Did you hold your tongue just right while dancing madly during the install?

Regardless, kudos on getting the zoombar to work - I was hoping someone would take mankineko's work there and adapt it... Glad it did not get forgotten!
Zoombar!!
Wow. Great work! I can't wait to try this when I get back from vacation.
If someone asked me to make a list of features I wanted to see in android on the rhodium it would go something like this:
1 Zoom bar
2 Zoom bar
3 ZOOM BAR!
Seriously never thought I would see it happen again though, so one more time; Great Work and Thank You!
(Sorry, I just didn't feel that the 'thanks' button alone was enough this time :laugh

Yes, overclocking is supported. This should be the same as 3.3.6. I believe the frequency range you can choose from is 122-825. Download your favorite overclocking app from the market, and have at it. I use quick cpu overclock lite.
*edit. I think we have some new governor options. Link for descriptions.

i havent tried to OC past 710 on my rhodium 400. but ive never been able to stay stable much past that on any rom. cpu jus freezes up past that on this phone for me.

710 is a respectable overclock. As all overclocking is concerned, YMMV. No one has a way to predict the speed you will be able to overclock to successfully. You might try reading this or this thread if you want to be educated on overclocking the TP2. Overclocking is usually 99% hardware limited. The rom you run is not likely to have much influence.

oops i do have a addon to this... i have two rhodium 400's both are sprint versions. the one that doesnt have have service is the one i test roms with. i believe it is an early made phone and thats why the limit of OC is kinda low. i can do 729 and 748 sometimes but why risk the ~40 mhz for stabililty (app i use is setcpu and this GBX0* rom). now the second one i have was a referb one and does have service. build date is much later and i can OC it over 800mhz but i usually only set it for 787mhz. again why risk the ~20mhz for stablility. (same setcpu but [ACL]'s OMGB rom). basically i agree with wizardknight its HW limited and the luck of the draw.
goodtimes guys!:good:
side note: (related to second rhodium, first one works fine with zoom bar) any way to port this to acl's rom? i used the flash from OP but the zoom bar is no go. heck idk if the zoom bar even works on this phone. guess ill be doing a flash dance on the one the zoom bar works. wizard i know it not your rom jus thought id ask again thank you for putting this together.

I am assuming that you mean OMGB by ACL's rom. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to port the feature without building your own kernel. It is my understanding that the 3.x kernels (what we use) are not compatible with that rom. OMGB userland is no longer receiving updates, so unless another dev adopts that rom it will never work.
I will take the 1% credit for this rom. I have done behind the scenes, packaging, some Bluetooth mods, and testing stuff. The other 99% goes to everyone (esp Stinger22) who has worked on it before me or with me.
On the phone that the zoom bar is not working, did you download that rom zip before or after 11-3? I didn't change the file names or links with the last update. You might try downloading the perms file at the end of the post, and installing that. Otherwise I would re-download, wipe, and reinstall.
If you are still having trouble let me know, and I will go check the zips to make sure that something didn't get busted in the last round of updates.
hi, just wondering if there are any roms available that are completely stable and finished for this phone?
if not, (as i have not found any), is the original stock rom (rojers) available to download anymore?
thanks guys..

After reading a lot, I believe I can confirm that only GB, and stock ICS are stable, as with no issues, some little glitches but no deal breakers. As for Rogers, there's only Osimod GB ROM based of Rogers. The rest are based of UCLJ3

I may be off base here but I guess the [4.4] cyanogenmod 11 and omni ROM are pretty much stable ...
Though the pretty much is still a while away from complete the following are the general bugs with bubor's amazing Roms:
There is an audio bug when making VoIP calls which gives audio latency ..
There is fixed camera rotation which means all the pictures are in landscape
There is no Wi-Fi direct
Google experience launcher is not that Good looking (I know I am complaining)
Google maps 7 has issues but can be dual loaded with maps 6 so they work
Backlight,PPI, lag all have fixes though
Battery drain is a bit more
But as far as performance goes... They are pretty smooth..
So I guess make your choice

i wish i could agree with you.. im running kitkat crdroid, and like every rom i have flashed over the years, has plenty of bugs that make it very annoying as a daily rom. phone switching off twice a day, icons/widgets dissapearing after rebooting, becomes laggy after a week or so of usig the rom, laggy browsing on all browsers, trebucket crashing regurly etc etc, thats on top of the bugs you list.. the only roms that are stable are completely finished official cm or miui roms (which there are none for this fone..). the stock rom is the only one that has not given me trouble. with the greatest respect to those that put their time i to make these roms, im sure people who flash them make them out to be more stable than they really are unfortunatelly.
Maybe we have developer aura or something like that? I'm sure I just used 4.4 PAC ROM for a week without reboot or any crashes. Bluetooth, fixed camera rotation and VoIP - yes, these are issues we can't fix, the same is with google maps v.7 (we just have no hardware NEON support that uses v.7 of maps). There is also issue with wi-fi: if you turn it off, it sometimes don't turns on until reboot. As for myself, I just never turn it off.
Besides of these issues, everything is smooth and stable. Really is. But I got sometimes trebuchet crashes - this was a time when I flashed dirty and didn't make a factory reset - the new trebuchet version sometimes conflicts with the data from old version. I just went to Settings - Apps, found Trebuchet (or Launcher3 if old version) and tapped Erase Data. And the issue was gone! But I recommend to always make a factory reset with new ROM. That's really important.
And even if you have those constant trebuchet bugs whatever you do (icons disappearing is also a trebuchet bug, I never encountered it though), just install a different launcher. Google now launcher is the basic, and is like trebuchet in many ways, miui one is also good, and others, they are many!
I had problems with some icons disappearing when the system reboots. I found that the icons that disappeared were for applications which were installed on the SD card. When I moved them to the system, they stopped disappearing.

like i said in my first post, i do really appriciate the fact that people spend Alot of time cooking theese roms, and it easy for me to come along and moan about them, but i have found over the years that after using a custom rom for a couple of weeks or so, its like the ram seems to gradually get eaten away, the device gradually slows down, becomes laggy and ultimately unuseable (not just this fone, and not just me that says this). im not saying all are like this, just many i have used, mainly because they never get finished.
i am very open though to people suggesting that i am doing something wrong, and maybe you have picked up on that something.. you say you do a factory reset, can i ask, do you mean a factory reset in the fone settings, or are you referring to a full wipe using cwm/twrp? as when i flash, i wipe everything accept what i dont want wiped on the external sd.. i dont factory reset, is this after you have flashed the new rom? or before you flash a new rom?
also thank you for the erase data tip for trebucket, i will try that.. i have not used the google now launcher yet, but i tried using miui launcher but when i went back to trebucket the lockscreen stayed as the miui lockscreen, which has happened on past cm roms, so i just deleted it.
just gets a bit frustrating when you spend hours getting everything working/setting up personalisation, then the phone just seems to start getting worse day by day, but maybe like you say, its cos i "dirty flashed"?

i did think that, and im sure you are right, but i have had every app/folder/widget dissappear twice now, then, randomly over several restarts, some widgets/apps will replace themselves over the top of the new ones i have just newly placed there.. strange, but i have came across this before on cm roms, so im sure there is a bug there somewhere, even if it is not too common..

Yes, what you do should suffice. I meant cwm/twrp wipe (boot, system, data, cache, android.secure). SD card is not touched. So you are doing fine with that, but anyway, there has to be something make those issues... Can you look at /system/addon.d folder? There is stored info about files that will be preserved even if you install a new ROM with a wipe. If there are many leftovers from ROMs or programs you tried earlier, then you should try to manually clear this folder before new ROM install.

That was the point with pre-4.2 ROMs, and even with 4.2 there was a bug with gallery thumbnails which made it to eat gigabyte and more of storage after some time. That was fixed in CM 10.1.3. Also a Lite-Kernel used by earlier ROMs is very great, but has its issues, for example, systemui crashes when camera launch after some phone use and sleep of death.
I used CM 10.1.3 for a a three months and still keeping a backup of it for a some case. There was no slowing or lagging, it was almost perfect (if you don't use VoIP or BT handset) even after those months of use. Strangely, but I didn't have even "settings -> about crash" issue bubor listed!
Welll here are some tip which have helped me

i .. umm.. well i agree that as of now they have issues but they will get better .. ours is an old device... so i guess we should tread slowly . which is exactly what the developers are doing .. .
and i agree on the ram hungry part but there are ways for that too . .
funny i have been messaging people to help me post this stuff through them . . but well thats the prob with being a junior member .
My personal tested suggestions for omni rom which have really incremented to the performace some of which are :
- using one of the lightest launchers as i find trebuchet and even google launcher RAM hungry is 'Lightning Launcher' the bloody app itself is in BYTES!!
-also i use link2sd with ext4 that helps in storage and also use sd maid for regular clean up.
-also i have been testing memory swapping using linux swap partition on sd card (class 10 ) and yeah i know it degrades sd card but oh well like Glados testing testing testing
-i have also switch off startup at boot for certain apps
and i apologize for posting what maybe well known tricks or improvs but i really dont know where else to post these (still have the ten post ban from posting )
and if these dont help then sorry to waste your time . .
PS anyone think an F2FS file system like for the nexus7 would\might help ?
tl;dr use the given tips maybe they might help . . and with custom roms i guess you have to spend time to keep them running well .

ok thanks, i cleared the data in trebucket, and started again with placing apps/widgets on home screen, and i also have deleted the hacked version of adobe flash that you install with dolphin browser, and, supprisingly after a couple of days of testing, my apps/widgets are not deleting themselves, the phone is significantly less laggy, and i have had no switch offs, so, im very pleased with that! so id suggest against downloading that version of flash player with this rom..

For what it's worth, I recently had to reflash and decided to use dman325's stock UCLJ3. (He has two versions, stock and one with the aosp lockscreen. If you decide to use either, use the stock one. dman325 had to resign the aosp one with a test signing key that, recently, got invalidated or declined and it prevents Google Play from updating past 3.7.15 and Google Play Services wont install at all because of a shared_uid fault due to certificate conflict, etc.)
I got frustrated with the amount of bloat in an otherwise vendor fun-packed rom, so I went in and hacked out lots of crap. Largely relying on either "what is safe to get rid of" lists for similar samsung phones and my own poking around/guestimation using dex2jar and jd-gui. I really, honestly don't understand what InputEventApp.apk was meant to do. Seriously. But, getting rid of it reduced the logcat spam tremendously. Also, the wsslcm* apks are somewhat frightening in appearance.
I've gone a few steps further, I modified android.policy.jar smali to prevent the emergency dial option from showing up on the lock screen - I accidentally pocket dialed 911 a year ago and am not about to do that again. I also modified the kernel ramdisk image to set ro.debuggable=1 and ro.secure=0. I tried, while I was at it, to replace /dev/random with /dev/urandom, but I'll have to do some experimenting.
I've added a few static binaries for proper gnu utilities. bash, ls, grep, sort, du, etc. It surprises me that a functional shell environment doesn't get more attention on phones with keyboards.
So, that's my $0.02. Try the stock UCLJ3 and fiddle with it a bit. Good luck.

Well, you learn by doing, I believe. Also, I have a classy - for a flip phone - Motorola Razr2 v8 kicking around I can always put my SIM into if I've managed to hose my captivate glide. Also, I'm replying because I can't post in the rom development forum until I have 10 posts. Hurray for well founded, but nonetheless arbitrary restrictions. So, a number of things have piqued my curiosity.
So, first of all, this surprised me in the logs:
Code:
I/Launcher( 2263): onCreate(): product model family:U1 product model : GT-I9221
I'd always wondered why I had an SGH-I927 when other phones, like the remarkably similar Galaxy R, are GT-I9103. Is/was GT-I9221 an internal reference?
Also, there are other inconsistencies, for example:
Code:
D/RILJ ( 426): [1718]> REQUEST_GET_NEIGHBORING_CELL_IDS
D/RILJ ( 426): [1718]< REQUEST_GET_NEIGHBORING_CELL_IDS error: com.android.internal.telephony.CommandException: REQUEST_NOT_SUPPORTED
If you jump into the debug/field test menu system, (dial *#*#197328640#*#* ) you can bring up the list of neighboring cells in both GSM and WCDMA modes... So, why is the request marked not supported? Furthermore, why didn't samsung disable the request in the first place if they went to the trouble of disabling it from working. I imagine this has a reason, but I doubt it's a terribly great one.
And the FM receiver? I do believe our broadcom BCM4329 is a bluetooth+wifi_in_an_sdcard (well, SDIO really, but still, not pci-e and not usb.) and has an FM receiver built in, but it's omitted and hidden?
Code:
W/AudioPolicyManager( 112): FM radio recording off
Oh, the conspiracy theories. And then there's the weird lines you discover if you dump the string identifiers from /system/bin/drexe!
For example, these lines are all sequential:
Code:
broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE android_secret_code://767*3855
InvokeOemRequestHookRaw broadcast factorst OK
InvokeOemRequestHookRaw factorst fail %d
/system/.configure.txt
(what's with /system/.configure.txt???)
Do not type 767*3855 into your phone. It's the factory wipe code or possibly part of it. I do believe drexe is the DataRouter you often see spamming the logs with:
Code:
E/DataRouter( 107): usb connection is true
E/DataRouter( 107): DSR is ON. Don't send DTR ON.
And we find these strings in drexe:
Code:
__initialize_usb_ipc
/data/.usb_stream
usb connection is true
InvokeOemRequestHookRaw usbstatus true is success
oh, and:
Code:
pipe failed (%s)
fork failed (%s)
child pid = %d.
execute sh.
system/bin/sh
execl fail %d
What do you think? Why does drexe seem to have code to support and start a shell? Well, if nothing else, thank you for reading.
P.S. I don't suspect anything the least bit conspiracy like, malicious, or devious. I've worked for some huge companies; i don't think it'd be likely.

Technically, you can post in cappy dev forums started from 3 posts. I saw someone posting there his fourth post.
As for other things you listed... Well, I'll be glad to have an FM receiver in our glide. But I really think that reason for all this staff can be as simply as hands growing from wrong place or restricted development time...

I recently, after some research, also installed dans stock (i decided to go complete stock since i didnt know what the lock screen thing meant).
I havent had any trouble with being outdated. Only thing i noticed (unless im doing it wrong, im new to this phone) was that screencaps dont work. its power button and volume down, right?
Other things id like to customize are data being in the top drawer instead of bluetooth (since i never use it), and id like to be able to see who texted me on the lock screen, but while still using the stock messaging app, and without an app having to constantly run.
Other than those couple of things its been great!
im HOPING down the road for an un-buggy or at least minimally buggy version of 4.4. well see what happens with that i guess.
Some help

well i always say stock is best cause it IS optimized however there are things like keep and total Google integration that i like so i updated to kit kat
for screen caps if they dont work i could maybe suggest an application called super manager its pretty loaded it has screen cap and may even give you prox sense wake up for device.
also customizing the drawer hmm.. i guess you could try xposed framework but please be careful and make a backup before
as for who texts you and the content of the text you could try dash clock its able to do a lot
hello guys I was just wondering if I could get some help since I returned back to fully Ice Cream Sandwich Stock. I completely removed all the system bloat with link2sd, uninstalled all att crap. Can anyone recommend me something since I feel the ram consuption still to high... battery so far is doing kind of good almost as in crdroid
But i believe it can be improved. Any recommended settings or something else i can do? Already tried lite kernel but it gave me some issues. Rather keep stock. Any recommendations please guys. Also if you know a "ok google" like app or something as a swifty assistant would be nice. Please recommend. Thanks in advance

Hi,
well that depends.. on what you mean with "finished"
I have tested all (3 months ago) available ROMs for the Glide. IMO the best available ROM is PACman but as said it depends. I used pac_i927-milestone.1.RC1.4.zip for a long time (months) without having any issues besides Bluetooth Headset which is a general problem in JB and higher version). I have tried other PACMan ROM versions as well but the above one was the best of stability and battery life (in my case).
So it depends what features you really need or are a must-have for you. If you do not have bluetooth headsets I would recommend the above otherwise .. well I would recommend sediROM
