Rock Steady / CM7 (GingerSense) (5-1-11)
BEFORE READING ON, MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY!!!
Who is Rock Steady for?/About Rock Steady
Looking for the faster 2.3.3 hero cdma rom with HTC Sense Theme??!?! This is just for you!!! This rom is a developed by me and cyanogenmod and the cyanogenmod team. The name inspired by the Rock Steady Break bboy crew. They are the original bboy crew that inspired future generations to breakdance like myself, but yet they remain true to the dance. That short explanation reminds of this rom and how android went from 1.5 to 2.3.3 but this rom remains original to the default theme of android when you first bought your phone from sprint, sense ui framework. If you can't tell by now I like to breakdance so that is the basis of where the name came from. Please read on for more information.
What Needs Work?
- modify the lock screen pattern to have that same green streak like sense's lock screen pattern does
- modify the lock screen and notification bar "sprint" text to say either "gingersense" or "heroc"
- also i need to include a super circle battery mod as extra for those of you who would like a super circle battery instead of the sprint battery (coming soon )
Instructions:
1. Backup EVERYTHING (SD Card, Titanium Backup, Nandroid)
2. Wipe EVERYTHING (Data/Factory Rest, Wipe Cache, Format Boot, System, Cache, and Data, Wipe Dalvik)
3. Download and Copy RockSteady & Gapps to your sdcard
Get Rock Steady Here
Get Gapps Here
4. Flash RockSteady and Gapps and Reboot
5. Skips gapps setup and reboot into recovery and wipe data, cache, and dalvik again
6. reboot into system
7. After setting up gapps, in the menu > sense settings > ui setting > check tint ab and make the scale factor 1 instead of 7
8.Press menu > add > custom shortcut > then click the phone icon and use es file explorer and choose the transparent.png I provided for you on the root of your SD card. Change the activity to say phone by pressing pick your activity > applications > phone. Okay the custom widget and the drag and drop it over the phone button. Do the same for right sense dock button (choose a custom activity of your choice)
9. Add the sense clock by using the fancy widget widget i provided for you.
10. Press menu > settings > cyanogenmod settings > lockscreen > style options > lockscreen style > lense. This is the new modified lockscreen I've been working on Its not perfect yet but it's a start. This is just my way of saving you a few bucks from buying a lockscreen from the market. Although, if you'd like a sense-like lockscreen which looks slightly different from the stock lockscreen (in terms of shading/brightness/darkness), please see here about widgetlocker. Please purchase this app from the market to use as the sense lockscreen. I REALLY RECOMMEND IT. And you can easily disable the default lockscreen once you start using this app by going into the cyanogenmod settings > tablet settings > and checking disable lockscreen.

4-4
-fixed reboot problem with flash zip
- now uses v1.4 mp tweaks

- hardware acceleration for ui
- fixed media volume up/down icon
- fixed manual apk install warning icon
- screen state governor switcher :D so this rom is now almost a mp & bl rom (the balance is now like 80/20 with majority of the tweaks being for performance but battery life is still awesome for all the performance gained)
- phone lag is GONE! :D finally got my phone lag script correct for the heroc
- i/o scheduler tweaks helped performance/smoothness A LOT
- boot time tweak so rom boot in about 20 seconds or less for me after first boot :D
4-5

- fixed battery saying its fully charged when only at 90%
- changed settings icons and other minor icon edits
- stuck with aosp notification bar until i figure out how to implement sense notification bar without FC's on every app
- came close on the lock screen VERY VERY close but i need to learn java to complete it so i removed it until i learn java :D
- found a gingersense bootanimation but although it played on the boot process it was too big and the images didn't fit our screen and i don't know how to convert bootanimations to fit different size screens....YET!
4-10
- added custom kifno tweaks to rom

4-21
- FINALLY!!!! this is rom is now self compiled and HEAVILY modified by kifno, myself, from the cyanogenmod gingerbread source files
- framework edits
- added back almost all the gingerbread apps
- included sense wallpapers

OK, installed. Going through the setup instructions on the OP
9. Press Menu > Sense Settings > Sense UI (last step should be >IU Settings)
10. Check Tink AB (Should be Tint AB)
35. Repeat steps 24-34 except for an shortcut of your choice (creating add to homescreen shortcut isn't capable right now) - (Dont really know why or what you are attempting here? Please clarify)
41. Wallapaper (Misspelled)
Your set up is completed.
So far so good. I will let you know when I have My set up completed. Installing stuff.
Can I use A2SD? (I assume I can since it is a GB base)

I have used the data2ext before but my card is only a class 4. Causes much lag. I am fine with just A2sd. Right now I am using Jason's 691 uncapped kernel and it is working fine so far.

Is this real "HTC Sense" integrated with gingerbread, or is it just a "Sense theme" for gingerbread? I assume by looking at the rom size that it is just a theme. I really like the sense widgets: calendar, messaging,email, etc, but I assume that if it is just a sense theme then those widgets will not be available? I will still download and give it a whirl. Thank you for your hard work!

It's probably just the themed ADWLauncher and warez version of Fancy Widget that have been floating around.

Thats what I was thinking. Without the sense widgets, I'll just go back to launcher pro plus, the sense theme doesn't me do me much good in that regards. Other than that the rom looks pretty solid

Fancy Widget is not warez. The oudated version that you've included here (the one that you've likely included without license from the creator) was taken off of the Market a long time ago after HTC sent a cease-and-desist letter to the creator for ripping off their work (if you crack open the apk, you can see pretty clearly that he blatantly copied the image resources from the original). It was later re-released after a code rewrite, sans the ripped-off bits.

[G1/32B]Blue Magic MKIIr1 "The Blue bus is calling us."[Not Updated yet still great!]
Introduction:
This is my personal Rom, made by me for me... But I think you might be interested.
At the moment there is nothing that's faster than SuperCSDIv4. Pure speed...
And the theme in use looks supersweet...
Well... Give it a try. It's nice to play around with this while waiting for a Legend dump
Overview: (have to update it for MK.II)
- Donut Rom
- Heavily Based on SuperCSDIv4.
- Fastest Rom!... Wreally FAST!
- 3D-Gaming Beast (on par with HTC 1.5 Roms, double the speed of superD w/o ramhack)
- ConMT - Multitouch included (in Gallery etc.)
- Awsome Bluest Day Theme from CaNaRi0N
- Merged "Elegance" theme in. (Like the launcher and caller)
- Font from enoidstar Theme
- Louder Volume Hack + Headset Boost from Meltus (will add EQ in future release)
- Spare parts (activate the option from Home app)
- Astro instead of Estrong
- SetCPU
- Removed SupSettings and other stuff
- Droidswap.
- Dolphin Browser (Better than Stock!)
- Hero Clock Widget
- Droid Clock Widget
- Some SuperD and Mytouch Fender parts mixed in
- Google Maps 4.0 (+navi) from brut
- Bluetooth File Transfer
- HTC Music app
- Some more Eye-Candy
- Some apps I would use
- 2.7 wysie Contacts
- Sound Recorder
- News & Weather
- USB tether
- Apn Settings included
- Apps2SD on Dream/G1 (not on sapphire) (took it from SuperD)
- Added JIT Dalvik and removed it again. No speed increase yet more force closes.
- Did I mention it's superfast?
-Check out the Additional Downloads!
Installation:
- Wipe recommend. Also it might work without...
- You might want to add some 32MB/64Mb of swap. If you don't know how to add a swap partition, you can use preinstalled SwapDroid instead. You Won't need a partition for that - it creates a swap file.
(I recommend a swap partition nevertheless. You can leave swap enabled when connected to a PC + its faster)
- StockSPL on the G1? Should be possible with 1.7rc.
On 32b Magic/Mytouch3g you don't have to flash a different SPL.
- Flash it and enjoy.
- (And you might have to reboot it to run properly...)
- As any other dev, i'm not to blame in case of termonucular war...
- If you want to safe energy, go to SetCPU and do something like 128 to 528 Mhz + Advanced: Up Threshold about 55% + Set on Boot. Also Set Sleep/Standby profile to 128 to 245 Mhz
+ If you don't work with you're phone, you can disable swap partition. It will kill background processes and keep SD card usage low.
- Else: 528 to 528 + Governor to performance
Note:
- Phone will Reboot once after Installation (!) [It's not looping(!)]
+ Takes some minutes for 1st boot.
- When everything is set up, it doesn't hurt to reboot. (I don't but it might help for them force closes)

1.3: Release (It's the Date )
/Edit:
Uploading @ the moment and already found first bugs... force close on the HTC IME app also :/
gotta live with the stock keyboard for now.
Need sleep. Its late in Germany!

So will I be able to play with this in the next few minutes, or are you going to sleep and have to wait till tomorrow?
Battery life depends on CPU settings.
Set it in Supsetup... darn it!
Next bug: SupSetup seems to need MetaMorph.
Will release a build without HTC Ime, with metamorph and new launcher theme later (why does every keyboard force close :/)
But in 6 Minutes you get your first beta to play with

This ROM actually looks really interesting. I haven't used any other ROM besides cyanogen b.c I can't stand not having good graphics. I will definitely give this a try if you can upload it. Go register on AndroidSpin, they have a nice server.
been using CSDI for 2 days, its seriously fast, gonna try this one now!!
upload it already!

Thanks. Gonna do that tomorrow.
less than half an hour to go... but this time - it's for real
By the way I used the time to play around with the launcher.
Now using the launcher from Elegance. It suits the overall theme very nicely.
But it's no more the advanced launcher. may include it again tomorrow...
SupSetup is still not working... :/
Either I get it running tomorrow or I'll leave it out. Its in spanish anyway
Yeah well what shall I say?
Go see the first post if you want to get the pretty one...
Darn it... that rom cooking is harder than I thought.
Based on Android 2.2 Froyo EC05 Official Release. CWM3 and EXT4 only.
See change log in second post.
Welcome
Simply AOSP was created originally as a personal project but extended to something I thought I'd share. I noticed there was a missing link in the Froyo Roms, and that was a 100% functional AOSP OR AOSP-CLONE type of ROM.
Think CM7 with Samsung's Sources.
Requirements
CWM3
EXT4
Wipe x3
Your data WILL be lost when you flash this. The scripts intentionally don't backup and restore Data. I have noticed Mixed results with this type of data retention, backup with Titanium Backup BEFORE you flash. You've been warned
EC05 Modem (Newer Gingerbread Modems such as EF02 have also been reported to work just fine! As always I only test against the latest stable release which is EC05)
DI18 or EB13 Modem will automatically be updated.
Common Sense
What is it?
The goal of this ROM is to provide the most AOSP experience possible.
With that said. I'm not going to cripple certain aspects of the phones functionality simply in the name of AOSP. Therefore the Samsung Calendar / Email / Camera and Camcorder apps remain.
The Touchwiz Launcher has been removed, the Touchwiz Framework is still present because the core depends on it and it could not be easily removed (it may be plain and simply not possible).
Who will like this?
People who enjoy AOSP and want something that feels like stock android.
Bugs? Future? If I like this will you update it in the future?
Bugs:
You will need to run "/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha" to fix auto-rotate.. or it will be really slow.
Directions for this if you've never ran a script in *nix:
Open up ADB (adb shell)
From the shell prompt issue these commands..
1.) su
2.) /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
3.) Place the phone on a level surface... hit enter. Done!
Will it be updated in the future?
Yes. But like any other ROM's, keep the ETA talk to a minimum. Bugs will be dealt with immediately if possible, enhancement/feature updates are on no schedule.
If you like this great! Enjoy using it.. if you don't like it.. that's fine to.. Credits to all the great developers who have made this ROM possible!

-AOSP Theme switcher with the choices of the two AOSP themes and Stock Touchwiz just to keep it true to this being a Samsung device.
-Ability to choose between different Lockscreen styles coming in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reverted back to stock EC05 Gallery
"AOSP-Clone" Messaging application - Thank you for the suggestion qbking77 and the responsible developer.
Past Versions:
Version 1.1.2.7
Fixed a few icons that were left over in the original theme.
Added battery % mod.
Modified the signal strength meter to be slightly more accurate. Your signal MIGHT appear weaker due to the increased accuracy, but you didn't actually lose anything.
-Semi-Nerdy Explanation: Sprints signal strength is being calculated to represent 6 bars if you count zero. It was setup for real bars 4,5 and 6 were represented by "full strength 4 out of 4 bars". This produced signal bars that were almost always full, which isn't a bad thing but not as accurate as it could be. I changed it to
1 and 2 real bars of strength is represented by 1 out of 4 bars in the icon (1/6 and 2/6 are roughly 16% and 33% signal strength, represented by 25% on the icon.)
3 real bars (roughly half strength) are represented by 2 out of 4 bars. (Self explanatory 3/6 and 2/4 = 50%)
4 real bars are represented by 3 out of 4 bars. (4/6 is 66% and represented by 75%)
5 and 6 real bars are represented by 4 out of 4 bars. (5/6 is 83% and represented by 100%)
So the inaccuracies in the icon are +/- 9-17% versus +/- 14-34% when I started.
Version 1.2.2.7
CynagenMod 6 Music Player with Status Bar integration. - Thanks to Eliot Stocker for the Mod.
^Samsung Music Player Removed.
AOSP Calculator Application replaces the Samsung one despite there being no functional difference.
AOSP Settings Icons
More theme changes - Improved Status Bar Toggle Appearance - Matches Power Control App (Thanks to Master, Author of the Vibrant AOSP Clone, 4 of the 5 icons are his.)
Improved Notification Overlay from TwFramework21
AOSP 2.2 Keyboard replaces the Gingerbread one (This will be controversial but this is AOSP 2.2.. not 2.3)
Added Car Home (Music shortcut is currently broken, looking into fix)
Added News and Weather App and Widget
Version 1.3.2.7 - Not being released, merged with 2.0
Fixed Duplicate Ringtones / Notification Tones.
Full Battery Popup and Tone remove - Thanks to untermensch for the write up.
Volume Hack - Thanks to the ViperROM team! Works great!!
Version 2.0
Based on Bonsai 2.0.1. Incredible increase in performance, probably due to the EXT4 mods/improvements, YMMV.
Battery life improvements.
Name changed to Simply AOSP.
All 1.3.2.7 changes are included in this.
Added protips (Useless? Maybe. AOSP? Definitely.)
Version 2.1
Based on Official Froyo EB13
New boot screen - Credits to OptmsPrm21
New kernel. - Credits to Rodderick
Sport Mode Camera FC Resolved (Thanks to our awesome new kernel)
Video Camera Lag Fixed (Also thanks to our new kernel)
Version 2.2
Wireless Tether added by default.
Wired Tether also added.
LogsProvider.apk fixed to no longer log text messages in your call log. Thanks to Mammon88. (This will not delete already existing SMS entries in your log, instead it just prevents new ones)
Samsungs Built in Screen Capture Service has been removed. (I was getting random force close issues with the .apk in place, use DroCap instead if you need shots)
Genocide Kernel with Keyboard Patch and 100mhz fix. (Improved Battery Life and Keyboard Response).
Carrier IQ service removed - Thanks to the ACS team.
Removed Samsungs Clock utility. Added Desk Clock
Version 3.0.2
3.0.2 Patch - 1x Icon Enabled
3.0.2 Patch - Browser Fixed (CM6 Browser not yet tested so just the stock Samsung browser is included. It will checkerboard occasionally but at least it doesn't crash anymore )
3.0.2 Patch - Rebuilt system - Fixed EB13/EC05 mixup.
3.0.2 Patch - Wireless Tether Included by default again. Fixed and works out of the box properly.
3.0.2 Patch - Wired Tether still included but not functional. EC05 breaks this functionality. As soon as there is a work around I will quickly implement it.
3.0.2 Patch - 3D Gallery with Multi-touch and Pinch to Peek (Credits to b-reezy for porting this over)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.0.1 Patch - CM7 browser removed and replaced with the stock touchwiz browser for now until issues are ironed out.
3.0.1 Patch - LogsProvider.apk fixed to not include texts in your call log. (Thanks to k0nane!!!!!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greatly improved Browser from CM7. (Thanks to the ACS team!) No more checker boarding.
Removed Car Home for now.
100MHZ Step Disabled by default. A few times I had trouble waking the phone with the 100MHZ step enabled, however battery life could be improved with it enabled, you may play with it in Voltage Control. Be sure to click Apply for Now to put the setting into effect and Save as Boot Settings if you want to keep it for good.
Automatic Modem updating from DI18 or EB13 (Thanks to the Bonsai Team)
Wireless Tether Removed due to stability and functionality problems that I have been unable to resolve. Will look into adding it by default again in the future.
No longer a Froyo Clone, updated to a Gingerbread Clone
Froyo Theme Pack could easily be produced if there is a demand.
Keyboard Lag Fix + the addition of TheImpalers optimization.
Journaling now enabled by default to improve stability. Will create a likely unnoticed ~2% decrease in I/O performance
Gingerbread Desk Clock Application
Added Reboot to Power Options
Added Voltage Control for overclocking. (Stock is NOT overclocked, Overclock at your own risk!!)
Genocide Kernel
Ok. I'll try it in the am.

I made it very clear this is just my own set of customizations I made for my personal use.. I was tired of having to flash 4 zips to get back to my personal preferences. After making it I decided hey maybe others in the community would enjoy this.. so I called it a "Rom SORTA".. I don't want credit for anything.. I didn't do anything original.. just a combination of AOSP elements built on Quantum..that again started as something for just myself to reduce the amount of needed zips. I'm sure someone will enjoy it.. just not you.

Looks like a good start but can you please provide some more information?
What is the base? LG's Stock 2.2.2? the New OTA 2.3.3? CM7?
Apps that are included (and if they came straight from the base or if you modified them)
Kernel Selection? Custom kernel or stock base kernel
Gapps installed? On /data or /system?
Themed or stock? (depends on the base)
Known\anticipated Bugs
You get the idea.....
You have to start some where, right? Good job...keep at it. Cant wait to see what you throw out there.
Look forward to see how this develops. Thanks.
Sent from my g2x using XDA Premium App
Awesome bro, the more developers the better. I also am trying my hand km custom roms, soon I will drop something. (hopefully) lol keep up the great work, you will only get better and better from here.
Remember to hit THANKS when a THANKS is do.
Status Error 0 is usually fixed by copying the update_binary file from the original 2.3.3 Update zip and replace the version in your zip, same location (Something like META-INF -> google, etc etc). Hope that helps!
yea i learned that the other day... yea extract from ota,then put it in the last folder of meta...
Thanks for the help... I actually thought of that idea before I logged back on to xda to see the suggestions.... encouraging see'ing my thoughts are on track!
Like I said in the op... this is going to be a very basic rom for awhile... I will update it often... but as the mods get more technical they will take more time.. but its fun learning.. (and frustrating).. and I have a ton of respect for the true developers out there...
Personally, I wouldnt mess with the DPI. Its very easy for users to get an app that will change that, and some apps looks very funky\screwy when you mess with the default dpi. Its def not a bad thing, but I would recommend you make it an add-on or leave it up to the user.

Updated to V .2 - small changes... but learning a lot as I go... totally open to ideas of things that you would like to see in a rom.... give me something to work on... I am really focusing on learning how to add reboot option to power menu.... pretty big step for me .. seems difficult... but not too bad at the same time

Going to release a .3Beta... should be up in 15-20 minutes
- Xperia Arc Launcher (gotta try something different!
- Transparent Genie Widget
- New Market 3.0.26
- init.d support
WHat did you do to enable init.d support w/ the stock kernel?
23rd March 2012 - Message from the developer here
I believe that our Sensation can do a lot more / be a lot faster / and therefore we can be more productive than with the Sense ROMs.
I also like to customize my own apps in a given ROM, so any simple/minimalistic ROM is a plus for me.
I therefore present to all who like this approach my very own HyperSensation ROM release.
HyperSensation is now also on Facebook! HERE
Screenshots (HyperSensation):
- Download links, changelog and addons and extras in post #2
- Extras and other links (ie. kernel, addons, etc) in post#3
- FAQ and themes in post #4
What you get:
- Simple, minimalistic ROM to be a good base for your everyday needs (those who like every app to be in there "out-of-the-box" should steer clear)
- Speed tweaks to make the base to make it even faster and more responsive
- Tweaks to make battery life even better
- Tweaks to included apps (camera, mail, etc) to make the experince even more whole
- Lossless JPEG compression for photos taken
- GApps included so you do not have to install afterwards (Maps removed, but you can install Maps through the Market, and Talk from post #3)
- Smooth scrolling in all apps (disabled scrolling cache globally trhoughout the ROM)
- Always updated base to keep your flashing appetite full
All other addons/tweaks are exactly the same in the two branches, its just a matter of personal taste
Credits:
- Huge thanks to Vorbeth who started the CM9 builds for the Sensation!
- thanks to Pongster for the whole idea of creating a minimalistic yet usable build, I used to run his HyperDroidGBX when I still had my HD2...
- thanks to nitr8 and insanity ROM (SGS2) for the ideas and a couple of icons/theme images
- thanks to ljankok for the friendship in cooking
- thanks to vladnosferatu for the tweaks
- thanks to crypted for the AGPS patch
- thanks to septix for the excellent banners

ROM Releases
1. When you are finished setting up the device, do a normal reboot and then you will have normal operations!
2. I have deleted a number of apps so that the ROM can be as lean and minimalistic as possible. If you find you need any apps that I have deleted, go to post #3 (Addons and Extras) and you will most likely find the app you need there!

- Update: added a few init.d tweaks for faster operations

FAQ
Q: I get "Your device is not supported" in Market, even if I have LCD Density set to 240.
Background:
If your LCD density is NOT 240 (which is stock), then when you try to get an app from the Market, it will say "Your device is not supported".
The bummer is that the Market App remembers this, even if you flash the 240 stock LCD density patch.
A:
1. Flash the 240 LCD Density patch
2. Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All
3. Select Market
4. Select "Clear Data" under Market
You can now download the apps...
Q: I get FC's on writing any text, using the "M" version.
A: Disable predictive text in Language & Keyboard settings, because to save ~10Mb space I have deleted all dictionaries from the ROM.
Q: How can I have predictive text in the Minimalistic version?
A: It was deleted to make the ROM as lean as possible. You can download the original LatinIME.apk needed in the Addons section in post #3. Adb push the extracted file to /system/app and reboot.
Q: Issues with vibration not working? answer is provided thanks to SlwDrvr!
A: Ok so for those that are having vibration problems like I am. Here's the fix. Settings > Profiles > Make your own profile or you can change up the default > scroll down to the bottom "Application Groups" > select the ones you want to change or have vibration for > so for example SMS you will see Vibrate Mode on the bottom, second to last, select it and choose ON. do the rest for the other application groups and vibrate will work. for sure.
Q: How can I optimize battery life?
A: Do at least 2 full charge cycles to really measure battery life: flash the ROM, charge to full, let it drop below 15%, charge to full, let it drop below 15%, charge to full, and then evaluate.
Q: What dialer should you use?
A: If you do not like the default dialer and miss the T9 dialer from Sense, the 2 best dialers are (both free on the market) Dialer One and TouchPal Dialer. I prefer Dialer One as that blends in just nicely with my black theme I am using.

Can I have that as a splash screen instead of the white-green HTC logo?
Yes! Septix was kind enough to also create a splash screen for the ROM:
Extract the attached zip, and flash the nb file via fastboot!
Tips
For excellent battery life:
With the latest faux kernel!!!
Set the following in CyanogenMod Settings:
- Max clock 1.08 ghz
- Min clock 192 mhz
- Governor intellidemand
Which kernel should you use?
Try either:
- faux's kernel or the
- bricked kernel or the
- tiamat kernel
- or use the stock CM7 kernel included in the ROM
I personally use the faux kernel, but it is all personal preference, so I suggest to try all three of them to see which one feels best for your needs.
Which radio should you use?
I always use the latest available stable radio found HERE, as CyanogenMod was tested with it.
Haha I'm so quick on the draw lol...

Heavy usage (calls, text, mails, Whatsapp, etc) - 1 business day

IF YOU ARE COMING FROM GB YOU MUST FLASH THIS FIRST
ICS RADIO (ucl4)
http://d-h.st/tA7
2.
DONT USE DARKSIDE SCRIPT WIPE
(UNLESS IT JUST WON'T WORK)
To Install Base
1.Wipe factory data reset ....3 times
2.go to mounts and format system 3 times
3.then install the rom..
4.then go back and reboot system now
5.Then let it settle atleast 5 min...select a launcher..
6.then continue to let it finish...and dont touch anything until screen times out !!!!!
(if you have alot of pictures it will take a few minutes longer to media scan)
7.Open busy box installer .. and install anyway
8.Reboot back to recovery
3.
After Base Install And Installing the Update
1.Clear cache partition
2.Go to Advanced, click clear Dalvik cache
3.Find Latest Sky Ics Update.zip
4.Install and reboot when finished
5.Finally open up Rom Manager and run Fix permissions
6.One last reboot and Voila!!!!
you can come from gb, or ics.
Just make sure to wipe a few more times and clear your dalvik if
your on gb, and flash the latest radio http://d-h.st/tA7
its easy
just do it
c'mon everyones doing it
LASTLY just a few notes about problems ....
You must be on touch clock work first
This has eliminated most if not alll of my problems
If your phone is fcing all over the place
or such and such an app wont work for me
Most likely its bad data on your sd card
first try clearing individual app cache
settings/applications (find your app and clear it )
(if you have tried everything i mean everything and still cant get it )
FORMAT YOUR SD CARDS (im not responsible for what you lose
you should learn to backup sd cards )

Heres how to Swap internal and External Sd Cards
Here is the modded vold.fstab for swapping internal memory with external memory.
(This allows you to use your sd card (upto 32-64gb) for apps instead of being stuck with just 11gb)
Two methods to applying this-
1) use adb or root explorer, delete your current vold.fstab in system\etc and replace with the one i have provided.
2) RECOMMENDED Open up your roms zip/rar file and delete vold.fstab in system\etc and replace with the provided one.
(This way is PREFERRED because then your ROM will be started from scratch with this storage configuration)

almost all things are half way done brother.. extended menu is out there, power 14-15 toggles, reboot/shutdown issue fixed/radio,kernels basebands done, except faux's kernel, and aosp lockscreen i saw on your project is something you might wanna think twice, me & alphadog ripped that apart and he changed codes around to get it going to = failure what samsung has done with this rom or lets not hope for this ics or any future releases is that aosp lockscreen in smali its been turned into two touchwizes , you'll see when u do .smali you'll rip your hair out like we did ..but yah if anything gimme a shout on [email protected]

hi sean
willcome back on bord nice to see you back agian i waited for you long almost 2month
finly i am loading fisrt ics rom and hop you had really nice trip.
Does this rom have the infamous "shutdown/reboot freeze" that plagues all ICS roms? That's been my biggest issue with all the ICS builds I've flashed in recent days..Just looking for a keeper here as I'm sure many of us are. I've tried just about every "fix", as I'm equally sure many of us have, to try to remedy this issue, to no avail..LoL
And thanks for your hard work brother..It is greatly appreciated
