MghtyMax 1.9.1 "What a Feeling"
SIGNED VERSION NOW LIVE!!!!
THIS IS A CUPCAKE HERO ROM. AT PRESENT 1.9.1 IS STILL THE LATEST VERSION OF MGHTYMAX. IN MY OPINION, STILL THE FASTEST, MOST STABLE HERO ROM ON THE PLANET.
***NEWS***
I may be developing a "Legacy Edition" of MghtyMax, considering we are reaching the end of the road for the G1. It would essentially be 1.9.1 with minor tweeks, some graphical improvements, and some special goodies to celebrate life of a great phone. Kind of in the "feeling out interest" phase right now, so if this is something you would like to see, please respond. I'd also like to talk to some folks who are good with custom desktop wallpapers. Please contact me on Twitter if interested in working on this project.
Changelog:
1.9.1 - Added Flash support
1.9 Altered user.conf. Turned off Compache and went to straight linux-swap. Swappiness set at 60. This may be the FASTEST HERO ROM EVER.
Recommended linux-swap partition sizes:
G1: 128 MB Linux Swap
MT3G: 96 MB Linux Swap* (Not tested. If running laggy after rom settles try 128MB as well)
If you get the blurries on MT3G, use the blurries fix:
http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/Deport-1.0.zip
After the system settles, and everything is running nice and smoothly, shut down, reboot into recovery and flash this as a ROM. Don't wipe, don't remove partitions. Just flash the zip. Reboot, and no more blurries!
1.8:
*This IS Maxisma 1.8 with the following changes:
Brought back PEEP due to popular demand (as is in Maxisma's roms)
Include Backup for Root & Missed Calls apps, and a few added sounds.
Modded build.prop to allow use of T-Mo apps (My Account, My Faves)
1.7.1a:
Removed HeroLED. All LED's will work natively on MT3G, and on G1 all will work except *missed call notifications. Thanks to Maxisma's build.prop
*Included Anon's Missed Call. Allows for custom LED color and frequency for incoming/missed call notification, and missed call notification sounds. This app will be in your app draw, and it must be run and set up for missed call notification LEDs to work. MT3G users do not need to use this app.
Included Blackgin's "Backup for Root Users" (This version works with HERO rom's)
Added lots of sound files for Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarm.
This version has an edited build.prop so that the phone's model number displays as T-Mobile G1 for apps like T-Mobile's "My Account" Although this has not been tested on MT3G it should not cause any issues. Please report if there are and I will release a MT3G version of this rom.
Replaced boot sound and image files.
Removed HTC PEEP. (was causing problems for me, lots of FC)
Thanks go out to Maxisma of course for compiling the rom that I basically just tweeked a bit, and for allowing me to share it with all of you. Anon for his Missed Call app, Blackgin for "Backup for Root Users", HTCPedia and Rapidshare for hosting, everyone at XDA and the T-Mobile forums, JackCrackerMan for pointing me to the blurry fix, and of course all of you, the Android community at large.
***BEFORE INSTALLING PLEASE***
***THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER OR MGHTYMAX WILL NOT WORK!!!***
-If using "Backup for Root" uninstall any heroled app you may be currently running before backing up.
-Before flashing this rom, WIPE PHONE/FACTORY DATA RESET, WIPE/REPARTITION EXT AND LINUX-SWAP in parted.(I recommend ext4 for best performance, 128MB Linux Swap for G1, 96 MB Linux Swap for MT3G)
-After repartition and upgrade of ext partition, exit parted and PULL BATTERY. Make sure device is not charging or hooked up to USB and put battery back in and boot to recovery.
-WIPE/FDR Phone AGAIN FOR SAFETY. Too many people having issues with remnants of old roms interfering with new ones. PLEASE follow this procedure exactly.
- Flash Rom.
-When the new rom boots and you get to the homescreen, allow some time for the apps2sd to catch up.
- IMPORTANT!!! Run Market. Accept the ToS. Exit Market.
- Run "Backup for root users" (also in app tray) if you ran it prior to flashing this rom, and restore your files.
- Wait. Wait. Wait. Sit and watch the apps pop up in the tray. Wait some more. Look, they're dancing! They keep moving! Wait. Wait. Wait. Grass growing? Wait. Wait Wait. Wait some more and when they finally stop moving around for good, close the app tray and reopen it. If it scrolls like butter, it's done. If it's laggy, wait, wait, wait. DO NOT RUN **ANYTHING** During this process!!! You may get FC's, load screens, and just may end up doing a wipe and reflash. Give it time. It will take a while, but you'll be glad when it's done.
- Run "Missed Calls" app in the app tray and set up your led notifications for missed/incoming calls.
Feedback/suggestions appreciated!
*As with any rom, you flash this at your own risk, neither I, Maxisma, these forums, your wireless carrier, or any being, living or dead in the known universe (except for you) will be held responsible should your damage or destroy your device in an attempt to flash/use this rom in any way.

Just in case folks prefer the RAMHack for some reason, 1.7.1a is still available for download.
MghtyMax 1.7.1a --->http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=918
"Just when I thought I was out... THEY PULL ME BACK IN!!!"
I just couldn't let 1.8 be it, with the problems I was seeing with lag. I am very proud of 1.9, and think it just may be the fastest Hero Rom setup yet. I hope you think so too. Thank you again for your support!
Please share your thoughts/comments on this topic here, or to my twitter at http://twitter.com/mghtyred
Thank you all again for enjoying this ROM!
Finally My First Post!!!!
This Seems Amazing, I'll Try This Out
anybody try it out yet? how is it?
going to give this a try brb
Since its a hero rom im guessing we will need a class 6 sd card right?

Because of the memhack Maxisma is using in the rom, no it's not required since linux-swap isn't really used, but recommended for faster app loading in apps2sd.
Working Great for me so far!
No FC's at all on the Mytouch.
Only one FC i got so far was the one when you search for a Contact, but mighty is already aware of that.
Other than that no problems so far.
Using it on the G1 and it blazing fast and holy sh** the LEDS work amazing!
Way to go Maxisma and Mighty!
If I'm coming from Max 1.7.1 do I need to wipe before flashing on my mt3g?
i followed directions and it boots up to mighty max screen and keeps booting to that same page. what next?

Clarification needed:
Are you getting a boot loop? Hero->HTC->MghtyMax->Hero->HTC->MghtyMax- etc,etc?
Or are you stuck on the MghtyMax screen?

im sorry yes, its a boot loop
im wiping again and reflashing
Make all of this fit in 90 MB (death spl system) and I'll be impressed. I'll give it a try, though, maybe this one's worth my while, but the back of my mind is saying "Meh, another hero...)...
ok, let me tell you what steps i took before i flashed.
1.using Ra recovery. I wiped ext2 part
2. wiped/reset
3.repartioned fat/ext2/linux swap
4.upgraded to ext3
5.rebooted to g1 screen
6.pulled battery and removed sd card
7.copied rom to sd card
8.booted into recovery
9.wiped again
10.flashed rom
11.stuck in "might max" boot loop

Wow. That's your problem. Try it again using my EXACT process. I mean EXACT. If you do it EXACTLY as I posted it, you will have no problems. Start from the beginning and do it again.

As mentioned previously in the first post, in order for this rom to work on your phone, you need to follow the instructions I posted TO THE LETTER.
Yes you still need to partition your SD.
Read above to see what happens when you don't do exactly what is posted.
I have an extra 1GB class 2 or 4? SD card that I can use for this. And I want
to try it but I'm wondering.. is it good to be used as a daily driver? Is it as fast
or almost as fast as CM?

Minidoudou is available online! There is still work to do, but it is already fully functional and you can try it on to configure your own mod of CyanogenMod 6.1.0 for HTC Dream / Sapphire.
Try it on here: http://minidoudou.joelcogen.com
and let me know what you think!
Todo (in the order it will be done, probably)
- Connect to an external storage provider (sendspace)
- Make it pretty
- Fix IE UI issues
- Add system/data option, with a nice drag&drop
- Add advanced mode, with moving of any APK in the ROM
- Display "hand" cursor on draggable elements
- Check /system size
- Fix changes application order
- Add deprecation to APKs
- Users management for contributors
- Select field for mutually exclusive packages (kernel)
- Fix double upload issue
- Whatever you suggest below
There has already been some discussion about how much control to include, so here is a first poll: How much control would you like when using Minidoudou?
I'm not sure if it's the rom or my phone,
But I've used your rom, and ir worked great.
When I walked trough the city that evening
I was looking for wifi (without passwords) when I found one,
I tried to connect, but it only said, getting IP adress, connecting and again getting IP,...
Even on my home wifi I had this problem. So i did a full wipe and reinstalled the minimou Final version.
Can you please tell me if this is rom based or just bad luck with the wifi on my phone?
And you are doing a great job, I also tried smoki rom, but it had some lag on the UI.
It would be nice aswell if we could put custom icons (of the topbar) and custom battery Icon

Hi,
You're the first to report wifi problems, so I'll look into it.
As for the icons, it might be hard because that means customizing the theme, something I don't have a lot of luck with. I'm keeping it in mind, and once it is stable and has most of its functionnalities regarding packages, I'll look into it or for a contributor with theming experience.
Thanks for your feedback!

Your welcome,
And Thank you for your work on this lovely rom.
I have made a new package on your website, and i'm going to use it again.
I'll report any issues I have
Not sure if I'm allowed to do this double post thing.
But when I tried to download the rom I found an issue.
Wen you click on download you get the link like this
http://minidoudou.joelcogen.com/download/MDD_HTC_Sapphire_CyanogenMod_610_RC1_Milow_Testingzip
So when you save it, it's just a file, no zip file
So you have to put a dot in front of the zip yourself
NOt sure if you noticed it

Hi
I have done a clean install of minimou final, and after it I did the install of
the minidoudou. But it seems to have an endless boot up
It's stuck on the Proximus logo for 15 minutes now.
I have the following things in my minidoudou:
Advanced Task Killer 1.9.3
Browser CM6.1.0-RC1
StopWatch & Timer 1.15
aNetShare (wireless tethering) 2.30
Twitter 1.0.5
XDA developers 1.3.2
Gapps MDPI MDD 2010.10.20
Facebook 1.4.0
Sapphire 32A kernel - Brian Crook Nightly 231
Barcode Scanner 3.5
LauncherPro 0.8.1.1
Email CM6.1.0-RC1
I have the same SPL, RADIO, HBOOT as you I only use another recovery
RA magic v1.7.0.1
Whats wrong on this ?
*EDIT*
I will try to do just a clean install of minidoudou, without extra apps
But i'm wondering, Do I need to install minimou final and than install the minidoudou?
OK I did a full wipe
and I installed the minidoudou,
this package:
Gapps MDPI MDD 2010.10.20
Sapphire 32A kernel - Brian Crook Nightly 231
LauncherPro 0.8.1.1
On the wizard, I had to connect to WIFI for the google account.
Well It found my wifi, typed in the password, but it was the same
Retrieving IP adress
remember
Connecting
and it keeps repeating.
I installed minimou Final again, cause I realy need WIFI.
I'll try again if it's fixed.

Hi again,
I just tried your config over a Minimou-final install (already with several of packages) and it seems to work.
It might be a LauncherPro problem, I remember it gave me trouble when building Minimou-final, so maybe flashing a non-upgraded Minimou with MDD causes the problem. Try fully upgrading your Minimou, then flashing MDD.
If it still doesn't work, the best solution is usually to do an 'adb logcat' (from the android sdk tools) to see the phone's log and look up the error message, or post the result here.
MDD is a separate project from Minimou, they're only link is me, so you don't need Minimou to flash, you can wipe from the recovery and then flash and it should work fine.
On the sidenote, in the future it would be easier if you just post your config name rather than the set of packages. It makes for shorter posts and it's easier to find (I compare the list to download your config).
Ok I did installed minimou final, and did the wizard thing,
Since launcher pro was expired I had to download the newest version.
When it was installed everything was working fine.
So I disabled wifi and let my phone forget my wifi settings.
After it I flashed MDD (Clean_without_Launcher(UPGRADE))
It took about 5-7 Minutes to boot,
I tried wifi, and it worked
I hope this info was helpfull for you.
Great! This LauncherPro problem is a real *****, I don't know why upgrading is such a problem.
The WiFi is stranger. I still have to look into it, I'll see if I can reproduce it.

OKi, thnx.
Maybe it's just your launcherpro apk?
cause when I installed minimou final, installed launcherpro from the maker his website, and upgraded to MDD (without extra apps (no launcher as well), it worked fine, when I did the same but with launcher in the MDD package it failed at the wifi connection.
Even a clean install of MDD with launcher (cause you need one) failed so.
NOt sure if it's the same with the AWD launcher.
Anyone happen to have problems with gps? 2 of my apps (Sygic and iGO) are crashing after moving to RC1. I don't blame minidoudou but just wanted to see if i'm the only one. I'm running bcrooks kernel.

Uhm, I didn't tried the GPS yet.
Do they crash when you open the app or when you are using it for a couple minutes?
Sygic freezes when i want to create a rather long (1k KM) route.. so i think it's Sygic's fault. It might not be compatible with 2.2.1. I'll try some other software as 'gps essentials' appears to be working fine.
On another note i cannot install brut's google maps... tried removing the original google maps, they're SapphireMaps package?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well I tried Navigon and it worked fine, couldn't try Sygic's GPS cause it needed 3D acceleration.
You can't remove the original google maps indeed. they are in the package.
As for the brut's google maps, you should look over here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
try this one: maps4.6.0.4686-brut-renamed.apk
Same here, I only tried Google Navigation and it worked fine.
Regarding Maps, you can't remove them because they are in /system, but I'll add the option to install in /data to MDD soon. I remember having trouble updating it in the past, but I don't see why, because other /system packages can usually be updated just fine....
Hello, i tried to cook a rom yesterday using minidoudou but it still says "Pending" along with some others!
Also when i press on "x packages" to see what packages other roms include, i get an error with firefox 3.6.12. With chrome there is no such problem.
Thanks again for the great work.
I like this idea a lot. Kudos to the developer(s).
Can we add different devices? Per say the G1?
Well I'm kind of in the mood after getting some good feeback from my Defy ROM, so seen as though v1.08 has been released by Advent - I thought I would try and get a release based on this out - try and liven up the vega section on XDA!
As I've said before - I aint no Dev and don't profess to be. I know a fair bit about Android, but I don't compile, what I can do, is put things together that make it easy for others.
As you can see I've marked this as a release candidate, so I'm open to suggestions of what else could be included/improved on, although this is meant to be an unbloated blank canvas for people to build on.
ROM Includes:
Advent v1.08 base
Flash (You may need to reinstall by browsing to /system/etc/shuttle_priv and reinstalling the app in there)
Launcherpro
Gapps (No Gmail - I don't use the app - download from the market if you want it)
High Res Gallery
Moduleap screen calibration app
ES File manager
New for RC2:
Included small notification bar
Custom Boot screen
Modaco USB Switcher (Host/Slave)
Optional Clockworkmod Recovery
Added stock taskmanager back in (even though I think its fairly poor)
My favourite part of this is the installer - I don't think you can get much simpler than this. I'm sorry to Mac and Linux users, but this is a windows installer package, I've never owned a mac (and probably never will) and have limited linux experience.
Install process:
This assumes you have already have the Vega nvflash/adb drivers installed.
1) Download Higgsy_Modded_v1.08_Vega_RC2.exe here
2) Make a backup of your current ROM using clockworkmod recovery (If you use it).
3) I Also advise a backup of your apps/app data via Titanium Backup.
4) Boot into nvflash recovery using the following method:
Disconnect power cable if connected
Power the Vega off
Reconnect the power cable
Hold the back button for 2 seconds
Keeping the back button held down, press and hold the power button for 2 secs
You should hear a "bing bong" from the PC - if so release the buttons
If you don't get a bing bong, disconnect power for 10 secs then reconnect and try the process again.
5)Once you are in nvflash mode execute the Higgsy_Modded_Vega_v1.08_RC1.exe you downloaded, once complete hit enter when the DOS window prompts you.
6)Wait 10 secs and then power on the device as normal.
Installation for Clockworkmod Package:
1)Download the Clockworkmod_Install.exe from here
2)Make sure your Vega is connected to your PC and you have USB debugging enabled on the device
3)Double click the Clockworkmod_Install.exe program and let it do its bit
4)Once the DOS window disappears then it all done.
5)I recommend a standard shutdown/cold boot after install (prob don't need this, but I like to do it anyways.
I had previously posted earlier that clockworkmod was giving black screen, I can now confirm that installing via the above method, has stopped this for me- I have done 3 reflashes/install clockwork/boot into clockwork/flash a zip/reboot/cold boot and it hasn't black screened me, I was probably trying to be a bit clever trying to integrate things I didn't need to, and to be fair its better as an optional extra anyway.
Further note from me on clockwork mod after someone reported BSOD:
Clockworkmod is hit and miss, I spent best part of a day testing/reflashing and in the end I got it to work without any issues, i.e. the usual BSOD after first cold boot after using clockworkmod. What I found prevented it earlier was after using clockwork mod to backup/restore/flash zip etc, was to reboot back into clockworkmod straight away and then just hit reboot in clockworkmod as soon as it loaded up, then if you cold boot after this it loaded up ok. I think the key thing if you are going to use clockwork, is take a recovery straight after setting everything up, then its not so much of a biggy if it does black screen.
Enjoy the ROM
Thanks go to the following:
[email protected] for all my hosting
[email protected] for the Recovery.img/app for the vega. and USB switcher (And indeed kicking of the whole vega scene) At the end of the day Modaco got me into android and for that I'm grateful.
[email protected] for High Res Gallery3D
Fede Carnales for Launcherpro, that is included in the rom.
Estrongs team for a great file explorer.
Advent for making the technology available at an affordable price/original firmware.
Anyone else who thinks they should be thanked.

in my opinion very nice, I will be completely honest - I have compared this and it is mostly advent adding the newer tegra drivers in, there are other differences and additions too though.
would like some feedback from others on the installer and if its working sweet for them (it is for me)

I couldn't decide which way to go with that, I always used the small notification before, some like it some don't. I'll make an update.zip add on. easily done.
Edit: I want to compile it myself too (framework-res) and not use the other one thats available, gives me more experience if I do it myself.

Thanks Higgsy, will give this a go tomorrow. If you are going to modify this yourself, would it be possible to have a semi-transparent small notification bar as an optional update.zip? Or if you know of a good n00b guide to do so, it would be appreciated.

Hi Higgsy,
Thanks for making this easy for us that are not so well informed and those that can't be bothered
Mine crashed tonight, Nothing to do with your update, but would it be ok to use your update to bring it back to life

Nope don't use it never have, don't like it. If I had the choice I would include the motorola blur email app - coz I like that the best.
Great work Higgsy.
I would like to see button savior installed as default, its a must for the vega. Also would like the small taskbar. Also does this contain flash?
Thanks mate
Small notification bar patch added to the OP, changes something else too, spot the difference.

Again button saviour is a must, I agree, my aim here was to provide a blank canvas with only the basics. To be honest there aint a great deal of space in /system. If people agree then I'll include it in the next release.
Flash included and works, you may need to reinstall it by going into /system/etc/shuttle_priv/selecting the app to install. I'll update the OP coz I forgot about that.
I notice in the screenshot that the kernel version is v1.06 is that a mistake. i have flashed the official firmware and it says v1.08.

Alien Stock provides a base TouchWiz ROM for your Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Samsung's original ROM stays fully intact with a few extras thrown in. I painstakingly mirrored all of the settings and files in a stock install. I know some users prefer stock ROMs and this gives them that flexibility. ROM developers, feel free to use this as a base.
Code:
- Based on AT&T UCLE2 4.0.4
- Zipaligned
- Deodexed
- Rooted
- Busybox and friends
- No CIQ
Alien Stock (full wipe - follow instructions below)
MD5 660610861b37d91f7206fc308b64bd1e
0) Take a Nandroid backup of your current ROM first!
1) Update to ICS radio if you haven't yet (Use my CWM zip here)
2) Wipe data/factory reset
3) Wipe cache
4) Install from SD card
5) Format /cache under "mounts and storage"
6) Reboot. First boot will take a while, be patient (5+ minutes).
7) AT&T Ready2Go seems broken in this build.

Original ICS Leak
KennethPenn
UCLE2 ICS Leak
It's not working when I install! I'm receiving force closes, sitting at bootloops, etc.
Make sure you're installing the ROM correctly. Remember that kernels, MODs, radios, and carriers can mess with your phone's performance and workability.
I'm not on AT&T and this ROM is completely broken!
This ROM is not necessarily designed for international compatibility. Please wait for future updates or attempt an install with a proper international kernel.
Why is my device running/booting slowly?
Your first boot will take an unimaginably long time. After that, your device will continue to run slowly until the application cache is built up. Don't worry, the speed will increase as you use the ROM!
Why is my battery life bad?
Your battery life is often killed when flashing ROMs in CWM. For the best battery life, you must drain your device’s battery until it turns off. Plug the device into the AC adapter and let it charge until the image says 100% charged. Then turn it on and use the volume buttons to boot into CWM. Click Wipe Battery Stats under the advanced menu. Then you should charge to 100% and install the ROM. Battery life should be comparable to (if not better than) every other ROM.
What is this?
With the various trouble people seemed to be having with CWM-flashable ICS zips, I took a few minutes to put this together. This is ICS in CWM form, with a few extras. It has none of the problems with other CWM zips (lag, etc). I've kept it stock for those that prefer stock ROMs. This will be the base ROM for Alien ICS. I'll also do my best to keep this updated for future ICS leaks/releases.
Coming soon (its stock, what do you expect?)
Changelog:
Alien Stock UCLE2
Updated to UCLE2 leak.
Alien Stock UCLD2 re-release
Fixed busybox. No one told me it was broken.
Properly format /system, /data and /cache using Samsung provided tools.
Alien Stock UCLD2
Updated to the UCLD2 leak.
Few minor bugs fixed. I don't think they affected ROM usage, but never hurts to be thorough.
Alien Stock UCALC4
Initial ICS leak.
Known issues:
The home button has a slight delay. This is common in ICS (check SGS2 for example).
[*]Messages crashes if you delete a thread from the list view. This is a problem with the leak. Maybe I'll fix it if I get time.
Anything else that has been common with ICS from Odin (I really haven't noticed hardly anything to be honest).
If installed properly, this will not have the lag, data connection issues, etc of other CWM stock releases.
Some people have noticed weirdness when coming from GB related to the Home/Search keys. This appears to be related to updating from GB only (perhaps files on the SD card). Flashing the ROM a few times and booting into it between each flash seems to clear this up. Alternately, try backing up your internal SD card to your PC and then formatting it.
Miscellaneous:
If you want to enable "Preferred install location" in Settings -> Applications, run the following through an ADB shell and reboot:
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update system set value="1" where name="set_install_location";'
I love you.
nice!!!!!!
Nice, been waiting for this one. Screen shots are coming I assume? Can this be used on 727R's (Rogers)?

Granted, I was still fleshing out the post, so maybe it wasn't there yet. But please check Help in the first post.
Short answer, I don't know. I'm an AT&T subscriber But if the ICS leak worked on Rogers, then this should too. The beauty of this release is really in the updater-script

Installed fine. Need me to take screens, just ask. Thanks so much for this.
The Vol Down + Power has yet to work for me (for screenshots)... Nvm, you have to hold the buttons down.
ROM is good though. May I suggest adding the dictionary fix for the next go-'round?

I'd say save that for Alien ICS, we need a good base around here. i Remember the first Alien back in November..first ROM i used.
EDIT: Donated...thanks romracer.
In case you need them.
So far so good. Smoother than the others so far. Had the home button bug. Reflashed and all is good. Thanks for all the work

Thanks, I'll put them up in the morning. One of my dogs ripped the skin off her lower jaw ("degloved the lower mandible") shortly after I posted this. Been a long night; surgery in the morning. Thanks for taking those SS.
First, I hope your dog is OK, I am a dog lover as well.
Ok, this might be a bit lengthy, but I've just spent 10 + hours trying different things and I want to let you know what all happened in hopes that the info can be used to help make Alien ICS one of the greatest ICS ROMS ever. Alot of this is already known, but I'll cover it anyway. And, of course, this is the experience I had with my phone...others may differ.
Background. I ODIN'd the ICS leak already, but found it buggy, bad connectivity, and a battery hog, so I went back to ALien 6 (GB).
I saw this posted and decided to give it another go. I followed the directions and didn't have any trouble with the actual install precedures themselves. However:
The first time I flashed the ROM, I found that I had the problem with the "Home an search" keys not working as well as the "shutdown and reboot" hanging. I tried to do a factory reset in the settings, but it wouldn't work. So I did another clean install of the ROM using the superwipe script this time as well.
The 2nd install fixed the "Home and Search" buttons, but I still had the "shutdown and reboot" hang. I fixed permissions, re-downloaded busybox and installed your insecure kernel and the 14 toggle mod. Nothing fixed it. SO, I did a 3rd clean install.
The 3rd time seemed to do the trick. Home and search buttons work,shutdown and reboot works, the 14 toggle mod works, etc. and, this time around everything seems alot more responsive and snappy.
Here is what I noticed:
All three install attempts (and the ODIN leak install) acted different in some ways that were suttle and others obvious. It appears to be hit or miss on any install and any method that is based on the ICS leak. I'm not sure why this is. But I am certain that reguardless of install method, it might take the way it is supposed to the first time, it might take 3 flashes or it might take 10 or more tries. It's just the luck of the draw. The fixes that people have reported as working are only temporary. That's why they work for some and not for others. It might make a certain aspect work (ie. installing a program makes shutdown work) but your ROM will still not be installed correctly. The only way to get it to work right is to keep trying until it installs with everything working, otherwise there will still be problems.
It will take of couple of days for me to test the connectivity and battery life.
So, people, as for now, if it isn't working for you the only real fix on this ROM or any based on the ICS leak is to keep reflashing until it finally works all the way.
I can't wait for you (romracer) to start baking the mods into this and if I can help let me know. I'll post back here when I get more results from this last flash. Thanks.
Is it safe to apply this over Alien #6 (GB)? Just follow the instructions in the OP?

That's exactly what I did. Make sure you make a nandroid of 6 before you do it...just in case you want to go back. And follow the directions completely. Make sure you flash the modem first. And understand that even if you follow the directions exactly you might still need to flash this more than one time to get everything working. Just make sure you check for any of the known glitches right after you flash and before you start personalizing it. That way if something isn't working correctly and you need to reflash a time or two or more, you will not have wasted any extra time in the process. When you finally get it the way you want it and feel it is installed correctly (glitch free) do another nandroid so you'll have a point to jump to if you want to try something else and then go back again. Good luck.
Hi Romracer

THE OFFICIAL 4.1 UPDATE IS LIVE. GET IT HERE OR USE OTA UPDATER TO UPDATE!
The pictures may not be showing for a while, but the link will be working.
Well, here we are. One of the (in my opinion at least) most prestigious custom ROMs for the SK4G changing hands yet again. Now, before people come out and call me a ROM developer, I am FAR from any sort of developer(I can't code anything substantial. Only small things in bash, PHP, Ruby, and possibly Python). I'll gladly call myself a ROM maintainer, however. As my bio in my profile says, I'm a do-it-yourselfer. If I can't get it done myself without a minimal amount of headache/frustration, then is when I call on the aid of someone else.
Credits, of course, go to PDT(Platypus Dev Team for the new people) for the initial release of Glorious Overdose, Dr Honk for the Bali kernel, nxd for the latest Bali kernel build which removes the keylogger, TheLastSidekick for GOv3 and for allowing me to continue his continuation of the Glorious Overdose legacy, anyone who helped with GOv1 - GOv3, the devs of the apps I've included(CM based or stock), and lastly you, the end-user, who keeps this ROM alive with the feedback and ideas you give.
Using this ROM means you are responsible if you brick your device without checking mounts, so don't PM me whining that I owe you a new SK4G, because one, you voluntarily used it, and two, I simply do not have that kind of money to buy everyone who claims this ruined their only phone.
First time flashers: READ THIS NEXT SECTION CAREFULLY. PLEASE DON'T PM OR REPLY HERE SAYING LINDA KEEPS SAYING "Convert data partition, system not available...Convert system partition, system not available.". The only fix for this is to use ODIN or Heimdall One-Click to go back to stock and reflash using Orange CWM and making SURE your mounts look exactly like the section that speaks of Orange CWM.
Experienced Flashers: You already know the drill, but read ahead to double check.
To quote the thread from GOv3.3 on the mounts.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ANY BUGS, so I CAN ATTEMPT TO FIX THEM!
CHECK YOUR MOUNTS, I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!
Thanks to ayoteddy!
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot into cwm recovery

*Now before you Flash, Only if you are on the orange CWM, (Not RED voodoo CWM from Bali) if on red CWM ignore the mounts/unmount part*
MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM - this is the ONLY mount you pay mind to, not Sdcard or anything else
- Now its safe to Flash the .zip

(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.
(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts

For those of you who use irssi on device(meaning you use the binary cross-compiled for ARM use), here's an easy fix if it isn't working for you.
Credit goes to happy from Rizon's IRC network(screenshot above is from his device, a Droid 4, iirc. NOT from a new GO look, sorry.)
If I don't reply to any questions here in a timely fashion, come find me on IRC in #GloriousOverdose on irc.rizon.net
In terminal, do uname -a. New hostname init.d script also serves as a type of sysinfo script for the SK4G(minus RAM and resolution and all that. Just OS and Kernel as of now.) and is useful when using IRSSI(do /exec -o uname -a in IRSSI to show the world that you are using Glorious Overdose. ^-^)
For those who want a little AOSP goodness, here is the 2.2 AOSP Launcher2.apk. Just set in /system/app and make the apks permissions the same as all the rest there. This is thanks to xanium4332.
Awesome! Excited about this
So you released like 3 or 4 roms kind of around the same time.. any comment about which one is the fastest or most stable? Are you still working on/updating the other ones like tigerfusion, tigerblood, etc? I'm on GOV3.3 right now and I'm happy with it except for the reboot problem while using maps/navigation. I'm not really sure which one to try but I like the way I have everything setup so I don't want to flash anything that cant be used as a daily driver yet. Thats why I'm excited about this one because it seems to be closest to what I'm using now.
As for the changes - is it any faster or "better" than v3.3?
Many of them seem like things we can do ourselves: I also ditched lightning launcher for launcherpro or adw, and got rid of or added some of the apps I liked. Personally I don't think amazon appstore should be on the rom, whoever wants it can just downloaded it right? Also I prefer quickpic to the 3d gallery as its much faster and doesn't crash. Is this 3d gallery a different one? (most of these things were just personal preference, i don't mind changing them myself after flashing the rom)
So the main things I think are the scripts/lagfix and a few theme tweaks.. Not really sure about PMR and the OTA stuff.. can you explain that?
but overall thanks for keeping this phone alive and giving it some hope and activity!
Well, I didn't really do much for TigerFusion, TigerBlood, or DangerZone apart from provide the lagfix script and bounce ideas off of the creator of the roms, RicAndroid. So, this, essentially is my first custom ROM release.
The 3D Gallery is, indeed, probably the crashy one. But it's because the ICS Gallery I wanted to include wouldn't work and QuickPic, imo, strayed too far from the original Glorious Overdose, which is the look/feel I'm trying to maintain while minimizing lag and other unpleasantries. But, yes, it is encouraged to mod it after flashing to further personalize the experience, but then I can't provide as clear of support when apps are added/removed from what I've release. So it's up to the user, in the end.
As for the inclusion of Amazon AppStore, that's based on it being, imo, the second most used AppStore for Android after Google Play. I mean, I don't own any apps from Google Play but I own some on Amazon. I can't use some of them without Amazon AppStore installed and signed in. If I could import purchases from Amazon to Google Play, I wouldn't include it(Yes, it's a personal preference). Like I own SetCPU. The version in the Amazon AppStore is 2.3.0.7(iirc) and the version in Google Play is 3.0.7. Dunno why the first hasn't been updated yet, but meh.
The OTA Updater will be like any normal OTA Update, but aimed specifically for custom roms(this one most likely being the first to have it implimented, hopefully it will be the first to use it too). Meaning whenever I push an update to the OTA Updater Center Pro, it'll push a notification to you which will allow your to Download and Update or Just download and just update manually via CWM(which is what I'll recommend because I'm unsure of how the app handles CWM recovery itself atm)
PMR is a collection of tweaks/scripts that were compiled first into an AROMA package installer and then ported to an apk format. The audio engines, sadly are incompatible with this phone until someone ports the kernel of Android 4.x or higher for the SK4G. Everything else works as far as I know.
And hold on to your hat. I'm in the process of creating the update.zip and testing it myself before I upload to MediaFire and submitting it to OTA Update Center Pro's database. I'll also be keeping an updated link here for people who are uneasy about the OTA feature and for those who ODIN'd and didn't keep a copy of the one they started on to flash and then update to the newest version. So far, all that I've done is in the changelog. And no, there won't be a LITE/LEAN version. I don't feel the need to create two version of the same ROM. Besides, this is essentially GOv3.3(LEAN) with the above changes.
Let it begin.... a new age of Sidekick cookers. THIS LOOKS HOT, MAN
Very sexy
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just checked the OTA app. It downloads fine. And I think it works because I grabbed the direct link from my MediaFire upload by right clicking on the download button on the page and used that URL. Dunno if it works day after day. And I don't know how well it handles the flashing itself because I feel a manual boot into recovery and manual flashing is the safest bet. Until I or another ROM maintainer can confirm that it does the flash flawlessly, stick to a CWM restore, please.
Because the OTA Update Center also displays the version, I removed the v4.0 from the build number and only the OTA Update Center version will change. The Build Number shows Glorious Overdose now, versus the old way in the screenshots.
Either way, enjoy GOv4.0. I know I am, and I'm the one who rolled this build of Glorious Overdose out. Now I look at my phone with pride, knowing I'm using my own creation and out there, someone else is enjoying it like I am. Such a satisfying feeling.
If you have a dedicated SK4G that you wish to test the latest build of Glorious Overdose with, PM me and I will give you instructions on how to turn your GOv4.x build into a dev/tester build that will get updates long before the public one does. I have 2 testers so far. Myself and RicAndroid. I think a total of either 5 or 10 testers should be sufficient to get things rolling. For those of you who still have GOv2 or GOv3 and haven't grabbed this yet and wish to enjoy OTA goodness, wait a day or two and I should have an update.zip to give you that pleasure of updating OTA.
That's all I have for now.
Can you explain in more detail what you mean about paid apps included?

Well, some apps, like the Gallery app(back when I could find it in the Play Store) and the Jelly Bean Keyboard cost money, but I included them because the free versions either didn't provide the functionality that I thought Glorious Overdose should have or just refused to work completely and I don't have a bank account or a credit card to purchase apps/credit from Google Play so I couldn't include my copies even if I had them.
I tried to keep the paid apps I included to a minimum. The only paid apps I can spot myself are the two I mentioned above. All the other ones are the free version because they work and provide the right amount of functionality for the ROM.
You should remove them. Warez are not allowed on XDA.
Fair enough. I'll revert back to QuickPic and JellyBean Keyboard free. If the mods will give me time to do so before they take action, that is. I can't do that as of now because tired and late, but thanks for the heads up(honestly didn't know[don't really read rules, just try to use common sense. Guess getting frustrated that the Free JB KB didn't wanna work and I couldn't find the free version of the 3D Gallery on the Play Store got the best of me]). Those and a new battery will be in the first OTA update available(And I'll even update the OP's link to 4.0.1 for anti-warez purposes).
EDIT: Had some moron texting me about some court stuff when I hadn't gotten anything in the mail about court appearances. So, I've been up for a bit and am getting an OTA update ready/OP update link sans the new battery. It'll be live in about an hour or so.

Rule of thumb is: No downloads, not fit for the development board.
That being said... 24 hours are enough to re-pack a ROM so it doesn't contain warez anymore?
Yes? Start the clocks...
Oh sorry I meant to direct my post towards both you and RicAndroid. So RicAndroid feel free to respond to the parts which were more relevant to you.
And I'm kinda confused, is 4.0.1 live and available to download? Its there on the changelog but I don't see a link anywhere..
and thanks for switching back to quickpic!
Edit: I just saw it was on Fixing/updating.. I'll wait
QuickPic is my app of choice....the Gallery is fine but it gets buggy sometimes.
This rom is sweet, BTW. The warez thing is not allowed, yeah....but there are plenty of fully functional free apps out there. Like ES File Explorer (which can be given root permissions), Touchpal keyboard (which is the best alternative to SwiftKey).
I'm currently porting the Bi-Winning Redux ICS framework...the correct way this time using GIMP with those 9.png files. It is looking beautiful so far. I will also jump on board the OTA thing this weekend.
Good stuff, dude. Keep up the fine work!
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
Well, as of now, the update is unofficial(the build.prop is the same but changed the OTA version because it's unofficial until I figure out how to get Quick Pic and Terminal emulator to work as system apps.). I can't get QuickPic to work unless I install as a user app and then move to the system apps and that only works AFTER installing it. But, yeah, gonna go update the OP with a link to the unoffical OTA Update. Those who have the warez version, just go to the OTA Updater app, check updates, hit download, and hit home and do whatever you want, but check the file on the SDCard at /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/glorious_overdose_.zip or something similar and make sure it reaches 177MiB.
Edit: Forgot to mention, this "update", although shown as 4.0.1 isn't the final update to 4.0.1...once I figure out how to get QuickPic and Terminal Emulator to work as a System app and switch to ES File Explorer from ASTRO(Because ES allows root access and ASTRO doesn't) then the real 4.0.1 will be out. Until then, ignore the faux update notice if you already updated. That or you can change your build.prop and change it back when it is completely fixed.
Also @B.Jay I've been using 7zip to pull/add/change files is in a re-zipped GOv3.3. So, it only took a matter of minutes but I was almost passing out when I replied to how_weird about removing the warez stuff. I don't know enough about the OS to create an update.zip from scratch.
Got D4 Update.zip creator now. So, yeah. Works.
Thanks for posting. When my wife leaves her phone alone and is sleeping I will flash this. Could be a day or two, she hates me messing with her phone.
How_Weird is to weird?

Lol. I know how it is. Just because 2 instances with my friends devices...he doesn't wanna root or jailbreak ever. I've finally convinced him to let me update his LePanII tablet to ICS and possibly root it.
At any rate, wait to grab it until later tonight or early tomorrow. Testing a possible fix for QuickPic and Terminal Emulator not wanting to work in the unofficial OTA update.
freakin awesome rom!
anxiously awaiting the link for 4.0.1 to rematerialize !
Well, the link is back up. Oh, and just an FYI. If there are changes in the changelog here but no OTA update showing...most likely I'm getting the update ready and am showing what I have done to the update.
yay! Loving it
Flashed this a few hours ago, finished restoring my apps and getting things set up the way i want them. Works great so far.. we'll see how it goes within the next few days
Thanks!
No problem. Hopefully I don't get fed up trying to find a way to update the su binary along with ROM releases and just say that users should update it on their own. Getting close, though.
