Baked Snack 1.0 9/23 "Oh my Word" "1.4ghz!!!Battery life and 270 degree rotate"
Hello All
This ROM is a compilation of my last week. So many hours were drained on this sucker but here it is.
**currently this is only available at it will be out to the public in 3-...CLOSED AWAITING PUBLIC RELEASE VERSION OF ROM

I don't hate you!

Do we just install this through custom recovery then?
OH I see, so what if we dont go back to stock with odin?

I see two different versions here.
Can you tell me what's the difference in two? I know one is over clocked one by the name but I want to know what does other one does..
Thanks,

The other one has the Andromeda Kernel.

im really hoping we get something soon like the htc's have......(get roms via rom manager) and not have to go thru this backdoor route for a custom recovery image!!!

mmmmm, think I'll wait a few days more....not sure I want to create work for myself just yet on my fresh stock rom w/root....

So far so good does have some boot problems which he stated but havent found anything else yet

All you have to if you are on the stock rom is extract the zip and run the bat script and you are good to go. It is very easy to do. And restoring from odin is just as easy. It is what I recommend but it should work without

Just an inquiry why go all the way back to stock? I have not modified my phone to much and am using the Andromeda kernel what will this do if I flash with this on my phone, shall I be a guinea pig? YES!~!!! FOR SCIENCE!

ok, im going to dive into this LOL!!!!
what is the difference between the 2 zip files??

Hey Hero, just wondering if your kernel gets along with the new update that came out today?

Do you have full rom for members or this kernel is it?If so does this kernel change theme also?And whats the difference between andromeda posted on xda and the one you have posted on here?
Thanx in advance.

Was wondering the same thing, will this work with DI07?

lol there is a lot of differences. it is faster has better battery life and overclocks to 1.2 ghz. the frameworks have been optimized for more performance and battery. also there is a lot of theming to remove samsungs ugly colors. it is not just a kernel. it is a rom that instead of flashing moves files in place.

Tapatalk'd on Evo

question
Can I rename this rom to pc36img.zip and will the phone recognize it as a stock rom when security is on? Can I use it to recover a botched root attempt?

There is another very important thing to note here. ALL 3.30.x releases are designed only for and optimized only for the latest hardware revision 004 Evo's. If you own a hardware version 001-003 Evo, the ROM may work fine in general or like others you may have nothing but issues. You will definitely find that your battery life sucks bad.
If you have a hardware version 001-003 Evo and want a truly superior running phone with outstanding battery life...and you'd like something very current, I would suggest trying out the Azrael v2.5 as it is built from the proper 3.29.651.5 code-base, the current, official release for these 001-003 Evo's.
I love Caulkin's ROMs more than anything, but just can no longer tolerate that performance and battery life I get using a 3.30.x ROM on my version 003 Evo.
From there you can play with kernels, looking for one's made from the correct code-base. The official HTC for this build is #11. The #17 kernel is for the 3.30.x ROMs for the 004 Evo's.
I hope that this helps someone. Thank you for your time.

[Q] How to choose a ROM?

This is what I call a "high class problem". With so many ROMs to choose from, how does a noob like me decide. Aside from stability, we all probably have different wants and needs.
Can anyone who's checked out the majority of the available ROMs give the rest of us a rundown on the pros and cons of each ROM?
For myself, I'm looking for:
1. Basic
2. Reversible
3. No known issues with wifi, sms, battery drain, ciq, marketplace, etc.
Which one should I pic?

basically, you need to try them out and see for yourself.
the problem is, there will be another one up soon for you to try out

Like u said. To each his own. None of the roms here have major issues that I have flashed. All work and run well only issue is if there using da G's kernel which has Sod issues. Other than that flash away bruh.
Only u can prevent forest fires.....so choose well bruh. LOL

Other than doing a complete Nandroid backup, is there anyway to just backup your current kernel prior to flashing a new kernel? SGS KERNEL FLASHER doesn't work on the Skyrocket, and i'd like to backup my stock kernel in case I need to reflash it.

its close. if i have time this weekend you will see something drop. i have a few more tweaks i want to do before i consider it ready. internally, im already up to beta8, lol. i hope to have beta10 release as an RC1 for everyone.

From what I seen so far I seen no reason to try them though somebody has to or they never get fully debugged.
Some of the ROMs are AT&T only ..... sorry got SGH-I727R
Some of them do have Rogers ROMs but I read of Sleep of Death and losing LTE connection..... sorry too buggy and I NEED LTE or I would of got the Galaxy Nexus.
Finally what I really want is ICS and NOT ICS themed ROMs
None of them are for me but I check everyday when a ICS ROM comes out I will try it.
Finally I recommend you NEVER try Roms if you are not sure that you can restore.
I have backuped my ROMs, Apps and Data, APNs I am 95% certain I can recover from anything.
For that other 5% I have Odin and the orginal Rogers ROM

Just to agree with everyone else, you've got to try them out. There's no harm in it as long as you've done your nandroid back up, you're pretty safe when it comes to reverting back to your previous ROM and settings.
Reading the features and change logs for each of them helps alot... but it still doesn't give you a full grasp of what it has to offer until you flash and test it.

Latest info on CM7 porting

I have some news on my CM7 porting, good and bad.
The good new first.
Good:
I can get the FULL version including the kernel to run in safestrap, and it is like 97% working.
Bad:
I can not get the ROM, without the kernel, to boot properly when flashing it to the phone from the bootstrap. I have spoken with several experts and this may not be something we can work out until the bootloader is unlocked. There are hooks in almost every part of CM that make android calls, that are part of their own version of android (it is heavily customized, and the code is available, and how I got it) and the kernel they use. The reason this works in safestrap, is because I can load the kernel on top of our kernel, but it is slower this way. Think of running a VM on top of your current OS, and how that can have some lag if your computer is not real powerful.
The bottom line, I am not sure if we can get CM working for everyone just yet. I am not sure where lfaber06 is at with CM9 and if he has tested it directly on the phone without safestrap yet or not. Maybe he will post in here what his experience has been, with this.

I'd like to give it a whirl anyway.

ONLY with safestrap, right now. If you try to flash it with the bootstrap it will softbrick your phone.
--EDIT--
Remember safestrap is not really working right now... lfaber06 and I have some highly modified versions that really are not for the rest of the world yet, and my version has a custom compiled version of CWM, and is a little buggy.

I have made quite a bit of progress on cm9 in safestrap, the only real issue i have is the radio which i am constantly trying different things with. I have not tried flashing cm9 or cm7 in the bootstrap but I have a method for it..(I think, Remember the D3 can run cm7 from the bootstrap) I have a file I have modified for cm9 that im sure will work for cm7 flashing in bootstrap. You would need to add some modified files to /system/rootfs/ and preinstall support to boot init.d and also run the fixboot.zip at boot. Really running under safestrap (i'm using the /preinstall partition) does not seem to slow it down much. But tbh I havent really "run" it while it's booted I'm usally making edits and rebooting to check for service. I'm going to tear into hashcodes cm7 for the D3 and see what I can come up with. It seems like it had the kernel included but the scripts only called for it if the safe file existed on the /data partition.

PM me a link to hashcodes d3 CM7 ported ROM (if you have one, I have had a hard time locating a completed one), and not the source code, that is what I used to compile my CM7 port with. I would like to test something, I have a theory on this, that I won't share with everyone here, since it really would not be very interesting here to anyone not trying to port these over.... we will talk more about this in PM.
Thanks!

Yes it sure does thanks, I flashed it, played with it, and I am taking a look at a few things with your CM9 ROM, and since we PM'd I have been digging into the D3 CM7.2 version that hashcode had created. I am not quite ready to flash it yet, but maybe something tomorrow, once I have the ROM to the point that I am happy to play with it on my phone and see what works and what does not.
It looks like the issue with my old CM7 ROM, from the logs I grabbed a little while ago, with logcat, were due to kernel driver files not found during loading, so it looks like my compile had issues linking to our kernel. I so wish I had the source for our phones kernel, it would make compiling CM7 so much easier, and NO the ME865 source will not due, so don't mention it here.
Jim

Glad I could help! Also @lfaber06, what do you mean by your ported version doesn't work? That's the one I flashed.
**Edit** Also the camera doesn't work, if you guys want in to that. Probably an incorrect driver or something...

So... any news to report on either CM7 or CM9?

By ported I mean the ones i've cooked up, their not ready for prime time so no sense in uploading them but they are good to share with jim. I don't think the camera works on any of the unofficial builds it uses a new type of "ion" driver that makes the camera uber responsive. Your post has however led me to build a few working ports for bootstrap but its still the same old radio driver issue.

[ROM] ICS system image from AT&T SGS 3 (SGH-I747) version 4.0.4

Here is the system image from MY SGS 3, I thought one of our other devs might want to turn this into a ROM. I would do it, but I am a little swamped at the moment with after hours android dev work.
If someone has not taken a stab at it by the time I am back in here more "permanently", I will make my attempt at porting it over. You will need to grab a script that they use for CM, to grab the files off of your phone, also here is a good reference on porting as well.

I might take it on (you know me, that means I will try and fail and leave it dead most likely), but how the hell will we even get it to boot without at least an ics kernel? will we just have to wait until we get the update?

Try kexec, That is how the cyanogenmod team is "dual booting" for testing roms... who cares if it is just one proc for a test boot.... Once you can POC it with a 2.3.6 kernel, then you know you are on the right track, and can do a test flash. The only real issue you might have is that the source seems incomplete to me.
I know this because I tried to compile it and had all kinds of issues with missing pieces. I have successfully compiled two kernels that I am testing on my SGS 3 at the moment (one overclocked, the other under volted).
Just make sure you go and grab the arm-abi tool kit, this is the one I use, from
codesourcery:
http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/codesourcery
All you need is the light version. It might take some work, but you may be able to merge the ICS kernel code (it is posted as a sticky higher up ^^^) with the MB/ME865 kernel to get what is missing. There are some how-tos out there to do it.
Yes the AT&T version is GSM(HSPA+)&LTE

Am I right that is SHOULD boot on a stock ICS kernel, like what came from that leak, if so, I can have someone that is running that test it out, and make sure the system is right, then I can build a kernel to run with kexec until we can get a real update.
I am new to porting and sort of to kernel building so tell me if this process sounds right for this.
1. fix up the gs3 system with our proprietary files -thats easy, I know how to do that
2. have someone that is running an ics kernel test it if possible
3. if that works it means I just need a stock ics kernel to run in kexec, which shouldn't be too hard because we should be able to use the me865 source and modify it to work with mb865. If it does not work, kernel building starts from scratch, which is were I will have to do some more research, and any help from you or others would be helpful.
My other question is how do we even load the new kernel with kexec? wouldn't we need this to boot first, then we can swap the kernel? Or is there a way to load up both at the same time?
I think I will set up a WIP thread for this if you don't mind. feel free to PM me if you don't want to post stuff here.
Thank you so much for all your help, and have fun with your new toy

I'll pull them out for you later today, I am about to tear this apart. it is downloading crazy slow though. I'm on an island in Vermont, so as you might imagine, my internet is not fantastic.

Am I right that is SHOULD boot on a stock ICS kernel, like what came from that leak, if so, I can have someone that is running that test it out, and make sure the system is right, then I can build a kernel to run with kexec until we can get a real update.
I am new to porting and sort of to kernel building so tell me if this process sounds right for this.
1. fix up the gs3 system with our proprietary files -thats easy, I know how to do that
2. have someone that is running an ics kernel test it if possible

Yeah I think that is a good start. Take a look at this link, the guys from team epic that do cyanogenmod ports have come up with a way to use kexec to test booting thier kernel and roms. You might PM one of them, I have not gotten to that point yet, plus these guys are working on the Sprint version, of the SGS3, but I am sure they can explain how they are doing this with kexec. These guys are on XDA, I have chatted with them on a couple issues I was having.

Oh, P.S.
Here is how to compile the "stock MB/ME865" kernel:
1. How to Build
- get Toolchain
From android git server , codesourcery and etc ..
- arm-eabi-4.4.3
- edit Makefile
edit "CROSS_COMPILE" to right toolchain path(You downloaded).
EX) CROSS_COMPILE= $(android platform directory you download)/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
Ex) CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- // check the location of toolchain
$ export ARCH=arm
$ make m2_att_defconfig
$ make
2. Output files
- Kernel : arch/arm/boot/zImage
- module : drivers/*/*.ko
3. How to Clean
$ make clean
Just make sure the toolkit is pointed to the install of the codesourcery toolkit I linked in the above post.
P.P.S
Your defconfig might be another pointer name, that you will have to find out for sure. You know the one above called m2_att_defconfig.

For the beginners don't try the rom,you might kill your phone!

I'd like to give this a try as well . Thanks a lot for all the help!
If/when we get this to work, do you think a JB port won't be too far behind? How big are the differences between stock ICS and JB kernels?

Glad to see you back around here, but lets not even give anything towards JB until we get ICS. if you are interested in helping with that, send me a PM, I have made some progress with cm9 (as in it boots fine, and i have some ideas for the radio).

ICS to JB is going to be a much smaller kernel jump, but there will be a HUGE performance increase due to project butter which is now officially part of Jelly Bean.
The key to running something like this is to get a kernel compiled and running with kexec, even though it is just 1 proc, it is a good way to get started. Ports will be much easier if you do some merging of the changed code in newer kernels and do merged kernel. There are instructions for doing a kernel that is merged from 2 sources to get a complete kernel.
Now this will just work for testing and porting, and the actual ICS or JB install from at least a leak will be needed to actually run the port, but you can get ahead of the game by doing what I have mentioned.

Well going to give this a go in a few days doing some maintenance on my computer but will get back with something (hope not a bricked phone) .....
(off topic ranting)
Hate to say it at this rate what getting close to a year since Ics release Jb might just be a pipe dream..... Think I am growing grey hairs waiting for something to give here..... Without bootloader unlock I feel so useless (Yea I could make a recovery image with all the bells and whistles but I got bigger plans).....

Downloaded so I could tinker with some files. Thanks for sharing.

Lol. Just my luck for the dropbox account to be temporarily shut down when my download's on 99%.
Well I guess I'll just sit here and wait. Unless anyone wants to be so kindly awesome enough to mirror it?

sure, no problem, give me a bit, my internet is slower than hell where I am right now.
EDIT: of course I didn't add it to dropbox originally, so now it is uploading to google drive. It just hit 1%

Yeah I got the dreaded e-mail from dropbox last night....
I will see what I can come up with for a hosting solution for this. I will update the OP once I have something.

I uploaded it to my Drive right away after downloading - try this for SGSIII ICS: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-CZ8hXV8qOiVGtjOHZ3ZEg5eFU
P.S. - I also have a JB dump there, if anyone's interested: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-CZ8hXV8qOiSkc3QkE1Y0ZsRkU
EDIT: make that 2 jelly beans: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-CZ8hXV8qOiS2QtcG41QUh4R1k
...I was pretty active during the I/O hype last week...

Why not try Filedropper or Mediafire?

I am actually trying to get my recognized developer cert on here and get free premium access to xdafilehost, that all the recognized devs get access to.
We will see if I get it or not. If not I have other options, but things like filedropper will not do, I already looked into it
