Seems simple enough to make the cwm zip. All I need to do is take any GB zip and replace the contents with the zimage while leaving the meta-inf folder intact... right?
I've got it together, ready to nand and flash. Anyone want to stop me if I am about to hose my phone?

No go. Wouldn't install... said that it ...couldn't open the zip (bad).
I used Konane's no ciq meta-inf files and put the zimage in. That didn't work, so I added a bmlwrite file from nubcoder's kernel zip. Still gave the same message.
Guess I'll wait for a pro to produce one. Because, really, Im only cutting and pasting things that I think might work.

Take any kernel updater .zip, replace zImage with this one. Make sure you have the .zip set to compression: store. Flash. Done. :]
Very good and thank you, as soon as I get off work I will start on 1100 and 1300 and try to get a zip together of that tonight.

I got it! Thanks for the tips about the store compression.
Only one problem-
when I run my zip it gives me all the nubernal stuff (not the nuberel kernel, just all the cwm installation animation). Don't know how I ended up with that, probly from copying the bmlwrite from his zip. I'd like to remove it because I'm not sure it is appropriet. I'd gladly provide the zip if it weren't for that. But DAMNIT! I really wanted to provide something for the community
also, I tried the 'earthound AIP EI22 kernel.zip' found earlier in this post- it errored out with a status 6 in CWM. Not sure about that either.

For the past two weeks or so, I've been building my own OC kernel for GB and CM/MIUI for personal use, 1300 and 1400 depending on how applied can be an instant crash, it'd probably be best to seperate those frequencies for those who want them because the people who don't know how to deal with it will keep crashing their phones. Only a suggestion on my part because I've been working at it for a bit. 1.2 is stable as always others not so much out of the box.

Code:
Beta2 change log:
complete rework of recovery.fstab.
rework of recovery source
CWM now fully up to date with latest version
and more
drhonk and I are proud to bring to you CWM3 for the SGS4G.
Now, before I post this, We are not responsible for any bricks.
Issues:
/system mounts, however it doesn't unmount to be able to format during a restore.
What works:
FULL ROM FLASHING!!! Backup, Advanced Restore of Data and Cache, Flashing zips (mods, boot animations, kernels, modems, etc), Error reporting and everything else but full restore due to the system issue.
How to get to recovery: Power Menu Mod, Quick Boot App, adb reboot recovery, 3 button salute.
What you will need to do:
Use Root Explorer, Android Commander, Droid Explorer or what ever else is out there to replace the recovery binary in /system/bin with the one attached. This will allow you to flash the update.zip from stock recovery.
After the file is replaced reboot the phone.
Put the update.zip on your external SD, boot into recovery and choose the 2nd Option to flash update.zip from SD.
This will boot you into CWM.
Biggest change from 2.5.1.2 to 3.x:
your normal zips will not work on this CWM or any future CWM for that matter. CWM3 has been updated to only allow edify updater-scripts. You will need to modify all of your update-scripts to be in the edify format. I will need to find a link on how to do this and post it in this thread.
More updates to follow. This is just to hold everyone over for now. Again, please do not complain that you can not restore or ( flash a full rom (untested)). This is a known issue, and is actively being worked on. drhonk and I worked on this all day and are tired.

I will not request this to be added to RM until it is FINAL. Please do not attempt to contact Koush to have it added; I will just ask him to remove it. This is only to keep you guys tied over for now.
BIG BIG THANK YOUR to drhonk for keeping my ass working on this. LOL

Follow the link above to get cwm final. Make sure you push the files to the correct spot as mentioned in the post. After that just download icbinb and flash through cwm. Before your flash make sure your mounts are like so
Unmount cache
Mount data
Mount sdcard
Unmount system
This is how the mounts should look before you flash and before rebooting after the flash. Hope this helps ya and good luck

With cwm final (orange cwm) there is no voodoo. But once you install the Bali kernel cwm will turn red and give you another option which is voodoo. Know to dissable voodoo you just need to navigate to voodoo once in cwm(red) and make sure it is dissabled. Youll see what everyone is talking about once you get a rom with Bali kernel or just flash Bali kernel with any froyo ROM.

Till then im just stuck on stock........
I dont really like Samsung anymore. This was soo much easier on HTC phones, no ODIN, no Voodoo, none of that stuff.......
im going to odin one more time, see if that helps
EDIT: Seems like it worked didnt give me any issues this time!!!!!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.
im going to hunt down all of your posts and "Thank" them all
But first let me let it reboot
Glad you got it. And just to give you the heads up it is rumored that kd1 has a bad system partition and has caused issues with other user myself included. I personally cant say that it is or if its just ghost in the machines but somtimes it ok and somtimes not. So I would recommend grabing the kc1 stock for Odin if you havent already.
Also if you plan on sticking with the sgs4g I would recommend checking out the sgs4g Bible in the developers section of our forum. I appreciate the thanks and happy modding

Other than sticking Shadowkernel and busybox in, this is completely stock, Sprint ID, Signal Optimizer, everything but Asphalt and HD Game Demos. I will make a seperate zip if requested for those.

On MTD mount system in CWM before flashing.
For those that wish to restore the full Sprint Boot animation the thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951184
Remember to mount system if you are on MTD before flashing each file.
And to return to Sprint if your USB port is broken it is helpful to have the stock kernel numbers in the About Phone section so Marcusant whipped up a stock MTD kernel just for this:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32800014/StockFC09kernel.zip
So find him and thank him if it helped you.
This can be used if you cannot odin in stock to go to Sprint. Remember to delete Superuser. And you can install the stock recovery from the file in this thread:

Superuser is tough to getr rid of. Muyoso found that it is actually reinstalling itself upon reboot after deletion. Thanks to him for pointing it out in his efforts to get back to stock. He tore through the scripts deleting all instances of su. PM Muyoso if you need help with this.

It's actually all ready for a theme and a boot ani. I didn't expect to see the flashing ANDROID when booting. I had trouble connecting to my wifi router but that POS always gives me issues. It is all stock files so if anything is broken it is Samsung's fault...LOL.
Now I just need help from a DEV to learn where everything is that needs editing, like how to insert the hotspot hack, remove battery full popup, and all the other goodies we love.

Blade v4.6.0
This is a ROM port from the HTC EVO One X by theDroidfanatic. You can see the original thread HERE.
As of today, 1-31-2013, this is NOT flashable!!! The updater script is still set up for the One X.
The reason I'm releasing this is because my Shift is down until my new flex cable comes in and I can't test anything so I'm asking for help. So far I've been through the majority of the ROM and I feel confident I've made a good start.
The ROMs I've used for parts are JellyBelly v6: Ultimate Edition and StockMod. I've also referenced Legendary-Infamous, MikRunny, and newRUNNY to see how they're put together as well.
I started by modifying Strapped365's JB Kernel in JellyBelly using this [GUIDE] How to port sense to non-HTC devices. Then using various other guides here on XDA, I've been modifying the port ROM to work on our device. I can put together a change log later after work. Now where I am at with this at the moment is the updater script. I've been through the rest of the ROM and think I have a good start but I haven't done anything in the META-INF folder. I am still reading up on how to write my own updater script but I'm not capable yet so those who want to help, this is my immediate need. In the past I was able to get a sense 4.0 One V port to boot on the Shift using an AOSP updater script but I think it may be necessary to write a new one so this will load right. I am a little unsure about the build.prop edits I've made going from GSM to CDMA so that needs to be double checked.
Any and all help is appreciated!
Thank you very much theDroidfanatic for your incredible work and permission to release this.

Went into system/etc and replaced vold.fstab, /wifi and /ppp with the ones from base
I'm not sure what to do with the Framework folder yet so I left it alone
Edited the build.prop
Also Reserved...
good luck with this, itd be great to see a functioning sense 4+ rom
Sweetness. I'd like to be a tester when you fix the update script.

Ill download and change the updater script. Really all that need changed are the mmcblk0pXX mountpoints. But that's not going to promise anything lol

Thanks Strapped. I really appreciate it!
Dude, it would be absolutely awesome to see a sense 4 rom on the shift. Props for putting all the time and effort into this, your shift will be in my prayers.

You guys are making me a little nervous. Keep in mind it may not work even when the updater script is fixed... others more experienced than I have tried to do this unsuccessfully.

Nervous? Nah if they don't read the OP its their fault. Also no matter how effed the updater-script is it shouldn't flash for anyone because of the update binary

Ok I've been trying to figure out how to move forward with this and all I can figure is to start fresh using my ego 4g. Fortunately, JellyBelly Ultimate is on the evo already. Thanks bilgeryan. If I can get it to work that way, surely we can port it to the shift. If any one wants to digin and do whatever your creativity leads you to do then by all means do it. I'd like this to be a community effort as much as possible. Especially "sense" I'm not a dev. There's A LOT I don't know.
It doesn't look like anything is really around for this, and with a few other options already I am unsure how useful it is, but I figured I would post it anyway.
[size=+1]I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE![/size]
I am normally a bit verbose on things, but I really didn't do much here. The below files were all pulled from either dumps from the phone (/system, kernel) or from the FP5-to-FP8 update zip.
The odexed version I did NOTHING to (except fashion it into something CWM flashable), which means it is unrooted and it will overwrite both the kernel and any custom recovery with stock variants. The deodexed/zipaligned version includes SuperSU v1.25 (found here) as well as busybox (v1.20.2 thanks to imnuts). It does not include a kernel, and I also put a .bak at the end of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to avoid the custom recovery overwrite that goes on when that file is unedited.
You will need to have CWM (version 5.0.2.7 can be found here, but earlier versions like 4.0.1.4 will work fine as well) already on your phone, and I would strongly recommend doing a data wipe/factory reset within CWM before flashing either of the full roms (odexed or deodexed) as well.
Also - if you are flashing one with a kernel, MAKE SURE voodoo lagfix is completely disabled and /data, /dbdata, /cache, and /system are all rfs BEFORE flashing!
CWM Installation instructions:
- Download file and place on sdcard
- Boot into CWM recovery
- Recommended to wipe data/factory reset
- If flashing a kernel - you better not be ext4
- Install the .zip you put on your sdcard
NOTES:
While I am unsure how relevant it is now, I have encountered an occasional odd issue in the past with CWM after flashing that seems to require adb to resolve.
The issue is that after flashing and then booting into recovery, I occasionally get a "can't mount /sdcard" error. Apparently that in itself is a known issue, and it is listed as such in the CWM recovery thread.
The fix requires you to perform the following commands using ADB:
Code:
adb shell
umount /sdcard
rm -f /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard
exit
If you do not have ADB installed and you are having the "can't mount /sdcard" error after flashing - I have a possible workaround for you. Download the ADBsdcardFix.zip here - then extract the folder (should be fine to extract it to your desktop) and attach your phone to the computer via USB (I did this while the phone was already in CWM). Open the newly-extracted ADB folder, and then double-click on the CWMsdcardFix.bat - something should pop up on the screen for a brief second, which is completely normal. After double-clicking the .bat file, on the phone go to mounts and storage, then select mount /sdcard - and it now should work!
Either approach here (adb code or the stuff in ADBsdcardFix.zip) has worked every time I have needed it, although again in my experience I have not been able to cull the rhyme or reason out of when that need will present itself.
Please let me know if there are any problems/issues.

Ignore post-I'll make my own thread!
How about a debloated odexed zip? The bloated one is super fast so I imagine without bloat should be faster .Thanks .

LOL - truth be told since the update I haven't done all that much really - mostly chase down bugs that people report, that's about it.
That being said - it is fun, so guilty as charged

Dwit, nobody cares how long it takes you. You do far more work on the charge than you've got any reason to. I'm fairly certain I'm slightly gay for you, and the second I'm not perpetu-broke, you're gonna get some serious sammich moneys. The fact that the charge is still even on your ****ing backburner in 2013 is simply amazing, and we all love you for it.
I still have a Charge and I have rocked Tweaked on the Note 2.
Tweaked is seriously top notch stuff.
Don't update dwith, then I don't have to spend hours tweaking my new version of tweaked
I know there are a few Chargers out there still , it is fun to stop in every now and then.

Lolz - yeah yeah I know. To be fair I haven't done too much android stuff at all over the last week or two - I've been at the new job long enough that they feel I'm ready for workload inundation. I hear MidnightNinja has something together on another forum though
NinjaRomV2 is available over on chargeforums.
http://www.chargeforums.com/forum/showthread.php?p=59137
As well as eclipse over on Nitro's site (made a thread).
Both are solid Roms with different color bases and options. It make take Dwith awhile to build the new Tweaked, but at least we have something!
I really like both Roms that are out. I have backups so that I can switch between them. Midnight has the libdroid toggles (status bar) like in Tweaked, with a green base, and Nitro has a few CM features like DSPManager, and an ICS blue color base.
Don't mean to derail your thread Dwith, just trying to take some of the pressure off .
