[Q&A] [ROM] LinuxBozo's Galaxy ROM Hellraiser

Welcome to a new and sick, twisted world
Ever wish you could take one of those nice shiny GalaxyS (i9000) ROMs and flash it to your lovely Infuse? Well now you CAN! Yes, I say GO AHEAD and flash away. With LinuxBozo's magic Hellraiser, you can raise a little hell with any JVQ based i9000 ROM on your Infuse.
How's it work?
Select any JVQ based ROM for the i9000. If you don't know what this is, then this is not for you.
Push your selected ROM to your /sdcard
Download Hellraiser below
Push Hellraiser to your /sdcard
Reboot into Recovery (RED RECOVERY PREFERRED)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Flash your chosen JVQ ROM
Flash Hellraiser immediately after
Reboot and enjoy your JVQ ROM goodness
PLEASE NOTE: I am not responsible if something goes wrong. Seriously. If you don't flash Hellraiser correctly, you can be left with a phone that needs to be returned to stock with Odin or Heimdall. If you don't know how to do this, this is not for you.
FAQ:
Do I need to disable Voodoo Lagfix?
Nope.
Can I flash JVO/JVR/JVP ROMs as well?
You should be able to, but I only tested with JVQ. So you are on your own there.
Can I flash i9000 Kernels with this?
NO
Can I flash other Infuse Kernels, like Infusion to get OC/UV?
YES. Neat, huh?
Can I flash i9000 CM7 or MIUI with this?
NO. This will only work with Samsung based ROMs
Can I flash Samsung based Captivate ROMs as well?
Has been successfully done by at least one person. Make sure you use a Samsung based Gingerbread ROM.
Which ROM do you recommend?
Which one you choose really is a matter of preference. However, I tested with Sensation from Crysis21: http://is.gd/D5LJm6
How does this work behind the scenes? How is this even possible?
What Hellraiser does is flash in appropriate hardware libraries and userspace applications, and the Infuse specific modem (UCKE3) and kernel. This allows the existing i9000 ROM to work on the Infuse all while still thinking it's an i9000, but addressing the Infuse hardware.

What is Hellraiser? Any links?
I figure it allows you to put i9000 roms on it, but only certain kinds?
Does this allow me to put a fully functional GB rom on my Infuse? If so, how's this different than your work with porting over CM7?

Nice to see another dev is using a Q&A thread. stickied.

Hey man, Great Work!
I was wondering, does HellRaiser works with 100% of the Infuse's hardware?
I'm asking because I am aware you've been fixing the Bluetooth/GPS modules to bring that functionality to CM7.
So, is hellraiser a 100% hardware thing or does it have the same issues with bluetooth and voodoo sound driver than the unofficial CM7?
Thanks in advance and apologies if this question has been addressed somewhere else.

There's more detail in development. Read there, ask here.
Define "fully functional"? With the exception of HDMI and data speed issues in some areas, ROMs derived from the Rogers Gingerbread release were fully functional.
Since the low-level video/audio/etc stuff from Hellraiser is derived from that same ROM, the same limitations apply.
But it lets you take any i9000 ROM based on the Samsung Gingerbread release (tested with an XXJVQ-based ROM) and use it on the Infuse.
It will NOT work for getting anything CM7-based from the i9000 to work. CM7 has a very different low-level architecture than Samsung ROMs (which is, for example, why Bluetooth still isn't working in CM7 on the Infuse.)
I'm sure LB will still be working CM7, but every once in a while you need to take a break and do something else. LB, gtg, and Mikey have been working this off and on for a few weeks. CM7 was getting more focus, but there's only so much bashing your head against the CG2900 driver that a man can take before you go do something else for a bit. Hellraiser is the result of LB taking a break from Bluetooth.

It works AMAZING. It opens up a world of i9000 and Captivate roms for us to flash.
So far Blockbuster, Mosaic, and Darky's worked perfect.

would somebody mind posting the full mediafire link for hellraiser please ... for some reason the is.gd link isn't working for me. Ty.

Yes. It's quite a bit easier to go from Samsung ROM to Samsung ROM than it is switching over to something that's completely open source like CM7. Samsung uses many closed source drivers, which we can drop into other Samsung ROMs based around the original GalaxyS platform, like the i9000 and the Captivate.

Makes sense... Thank you for your quick reply and development man! You and your team gives excellent value add to our phones!

Would love to hear feedback from people on why they like the ROM they have chosen.
Right now Infused 2.0.2 has been my ROM of choice because it's fast and I can't find a single thing wrong with it but if there's a compelling reason to check out some of the i9000 ROMs I might do so!
Also kudos to LB this is a really clever idea

I am running the one LB was running, Sensation. I gotta say its soo much smoother than 2.0.x.... I was on 2.0.1 through 4... and they just didnt seem to be right.. gtg knows his stuff but until GB is official on our phones this is the next best thing right now. battery life is awesome also, been unplugged since 3am its 1pm now, with calls, bt, wifi im at 75%

Infused is one of the best roms that I've ever used, fast, great battery life. But, I had a Captivate before that. And just seeing those Cappy roms on our big screen is neat. Nothing life-changing, just neat. If you're a tinkerer and enjoy playing around with roms, this is a must.

If I do a backup of my current setup (Infused 2.0.2 and bedwa GB kernel) from ROM Manager will that give me a complete snapshot of the phone that I can return to if I don't like SensatioN + Hellraiser?

I would say that yes, if you reboot into recovery manually, and took a backup directly in Red CWM it would. I wouldn't trust Rom Manager to do it for you.

O2X to G2X Port Questions

I am thinking of porting some o2x roms.. perfect example is like MIUI. What files do we need to update to make it work on G2X. I do have some cooking exp from past.
To my Knowledge, Kernel is one, so i def, got to use new kernel.. System files are same? do i just extract and recook to g2x specs? possible swap ril file? some dev can help with my questions? thanks in advance.

No one??

Im trying build miui rom too with mods.

Maybe ask some people in the dev forum. BTW we have 3 miui roms but there is nothing wrong with more roms. Good luck.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

The kernel is the issue!
JBoxer and I have been working on some of these issues with a little progress, but we're not there yet.
MIUI can be ported from O2X to G2X because MIUI uses the CyanogenMod kernel, and there is a CyanogenMod kernel for the G2X, and thus it can just be swapped out. It is definitely possible to convert MIUI Roms to G2X this way.
However, O2X "official" builds require an equivalent kernel for the G2X. Currently we only have ONE 2.3.4 kernel that works on the G2X, and that's from the "leaked" LG-L95G build.
In theory, we can use THAT kernel on any of the O2X 2.3.4 versions to get them working on the G2X. However, it hasn't been done successfully yet. We're missing something, but the problem is being worked on.

AT&T official gingerbread for Captivate discussion

I am opening this thread to discuss the new official release from AT&T and Samsung. Details can be found here.
I'm not sure why discussion rooting was a reason to close a thread, but I guess a overzealous mod is better than no mod.

I hate to burst your bubble but there's already an active thread about the official AT&T Gingerbread release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437947

I am not sure how much needs to be discussed. It is the same rom that was leaked back in 11/16/2011. Developers have done some amazing stuff with the Rom so far. All that is left for them to do really is add BLN and voodoo color to the kernel. I am not sure if having the source will do anything more for the Rom themselves.
FYI - Mod don't like ppl reopening closed threads.

yes I was active on that thread. It was locked by a mod because people started to discuss how to root the new release. zergRush does not work on it.

Those are the two big questions I have too.

That last thread was sure cut short, but i have a question regarding kies mini. Im currently running the leaked UCKK4 Stock, rooted, and bloatfree; will i be able to upgrade with kies mini?

I had the exact type of rom running on my phone. Mini kies told me I was already running the latest rom. So, I did one click back to KB2 then used mini kies.

Ah, my apologies then.

I'll throw a bone out there, Fugu Root. Nuf said. Interesting enough tether manager likes to fc when you have debug enabled along with the usb connected.

I also had Tethering manage FC on me, but only right after I flashed it on the first reboot. I have not seen it FC again. I am very familiar with the Fugu kernel swap and think it great method, but my issue that I don't have a source of the kies released KK4 kernel. Do you know how to gernerate or extract an ODIN flashable kernel from the running image?

I'm running Cyanogenmod kang build 7.2 right now but I gotta ask is it worth going to stock gingerbread? How stable is it? I'll be honest I miss some of the touchwiz apps, but IMO the stock froyo rom sucked. At the very least I'd probably root and remove the AT&T BS, but IMO The froyo rom ran slower and buggier than the stock eclair rom! I really just want everyone's general opinion of it. Its a tough call. I got my phone running pretty stable with Cyanogenmod right now and its out of warrenty anyway so it might not even be worth my time anyway.

Check the KK4 leak thread for the tar.

No one has confirmed that the KK4 leak is exactly the same of the offical KK4. That is my only hesitation. I would like to be sure that I am running the AT&T KK4 release

Well the camera is a heck of a lot better the AOSP. It's worth it, even though it's still RFS, it's snappy and way better the KB1 ever was.

Yeah speaking of rfs I'd definitely be putting a lag fix on. I might look into it, and yes I agree about the camera, in fact honestly the hate against touchwiz is unwarranted. All the touchwiz apps are better, even the launcher is better than vanilla android one(not counting cyanogenmod that uses adw, which is one if the best). Only thing I did notice is without touchwiz the rom is faster, so obviously it adds bulk but the apps are so much better!

I never did get slacker radio and maps working at the same time on kk4. Even with tweaks I mentioned in another thread, slacker started dying after about a day of use. No problems like that with cm7. Thats why I am mostly interested if they actually made any changes from the leak. I doubt it though.

Ginger Bread is here
Im updating currently to official ginger bread

Didn't you notice that Samsung & at&t dropped lots of original Gingerbread features? like the CRT screen-off animation... I can't find it on the new official GB update one.

Is CarrierIQ still present in the official build? Curious. It was in the leak.

Q. Zeus or catyrom

I currently am running infused v2.3.3 and want to make the switch to either Zeus or caty.
Im leaning toward Zeus but my problem is, if i am correct, catyrom has support for hdmi out and Zeus doesn't.
can someone please confirm that?
also is there any instructions for how to flash from infused to either caty or Zeus?
i am a little weary of flashing because i am a noob.

I think HDMI only works on rom running unmodded stock kernels.
That leaves only Victory,
or stock GB
or rooted stock GB uckl2 with stock kernel swap to retain root, (see the op)

Care to share the links? I would guess you have them bookmarked and providing them here would make life easier.
EDIT: Ok I found the Zeus one... I think the question is (or at least this is my question), what is the difference between them? Is it necessary to go through hundreds of pages in two threads to get the answer?
I just loaded Zeus with ICS theme and so far so good. But I also saw the other ROM available (Caty) but I do not understand what the differences are. All of this would be good info posted on the OP of each ROM to avoid having to ask in another thread.

They are posted.... they are significantly built different, although running the same firmware, as in mods and tweaks built in... open both with 7zip and you'll see the massive difference.

And yes... it is necessary to read the thread, that's why I have the dev thread and [email protected], so I don't have to jump around every time someone makes a thread to ask a question about my roms... read the forum rules and use the search function

I have used the search. I found that Zeus doesn't support hdmi output, but found no confirmation that caty does. I was looking to see if someone could confirm this.

None of the custom roms do unless you have the stock kernel, as the Rogers custom kernels we have don't support hdmi

Why Bother
Why bother with this total fail of an upgrade when there are so many better custom ROM's to choose from right here on xda?
I'm on Infused v2.2.3 and really like it but considering making the move to ZEUS soon.
I just can't see any reason to make a giant leap backward with the AT&T GB upgrade. It's just too little too late. YMMV though.

Maybe Samsung decided to use Zeus?
(Actually the GB release is running really well for myself. I haven't even rebooted yet since install last week.)

Yeah who likes a 100% working phone anyway, right?
meh.

now I know why there are no sources yet. and yeah the update is important if not just for sorcery code. never mind Samsung and att having respect for the customers....
think of how much better the roms can be if we don't have to mix libs from different leaks to fix video recording or playback and workarounds for the sdcard and wifi. and if they actually have HDMI. then we could swap kernels around without considering switching vold.fstab. yeah I hope the update is fixed soon so the code can be released finally.
someone is gonna have to get the update files and decrypt them to get a stock kernel though. (to extract initramfs and the root process will require a kernel to revert to until custom kernels are made.)

If you consider hdmi 100 percent, then I guess im running a 99 percent working rom......yea.....im good with that

hey I'm using Zeus myself. but I use the kl2 kernel on it and it would be nice if you didn't need to change vold.fstab back to stock to do so. I just want source code for new kenrels that could be maintained as all the old kernels were developed by people who are no longer here.

well I ran it with infuseion a few days, but I get the themes, the rom is deodexed, and when ever I deodex something it seems to run weird either slow or choppy. Zeus doesn't. I dunno what dman uses to deodex but it works better than what I have used.
