What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.5 ?
Kernel -
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.2 Satndard (no OC) kernel is the default.
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.2 OC/UV kernel can be chosen through customized installation if you want to overclock/undervault your device.
DSP Manager -
Took MIUI's latest (2.3.23) DSP Manager and fully translated it to Hebrew.
Added 3 snapshots to this post.
Super Booster -
Free memory on demand by closing all core services to simulate a reboot.
Use this if you're getting small memory (70MB and below) and task manager did not help.
I recommend using it with GO task manager widget if you use GO launcher EX.
Added a snapshot to this post.
What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.4 ?
Screenshot taking functionality added to power MOD.
When long pressing the power button you now get : silent mode, flight mode, power off, reboot, recovery, download and Take Screenshot!
If you choose 'Take Screenshot!', screenshot is taken and locally saved in a 'ScreenCapture' folder on your SD Card.
This is completely AntonX's work, specially & specifically for this ROM users. We just added the Hebrew strings. Thanks AntonX !
See attached images below for how it looks like, sorry about the quality (taken with a @#$#$ iphone).
What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.3 ?
Aroma installation -
Installation options : Quick installation / Customized installation.
Quick installation defaults - Sidekick KD1 modem, AntonX's Basic with a twist 1beta3 kernel, Hebrew Valhalla logo on boot, Hebrew dialer and Hebrew Google maps.
All these are simply changeable through customized installation.
Kernel -
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1beta3 kernel is the most stable and reliable kernel for our device and it's ideal for the common user.
If you are a heavy user/gamer or you want to extend your battery life, you may choose to install AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.0 OC/UV kernel.
With it you can overclock or undervolt your device - see "voltage control" below for a recommended configuration.
Adrenaline Shot V14.1 + V15 mixmatch
Took Adrenaline shot V15, added 02journaling and 04sysctltweaks from Adrenaline shot V14.1.
This constelation gave us the best results.
Special note - 04sysctltweaks script is handling with cpu governor and scaling, so if you choose OC/UV kernel on customized installation - it will get deleted to avoid collisions.
If you chose the regular kernel and decided to switch to OC/UV kernel to OC/UV - make sure you delete this script via root explorer or similar prior to OC/UV.
Voodoo and DSP
both mods are allowing you to enhance your audio experience.
'DSP Manager' is a system app already installed.
'Voodoo Sound' is located in the bonus apps and needs to be installed.
Recommended configuration :
Tune In radio - Set DSP Headset EQ as Enabled and on Acoustic, set Voodoo Sound volume limit +2db , Bass boost on, 5db gain.
Stock music player - Set 'Dance' EQ and 'Music Clarity' effect in stock music player, set Voodoo Sound volume limit +2db , Bass boost on, 5db gain.
Voltage Control
If you use the OC/UV kernel, you should use this app to control your overclocking\undervolting definitions.
install it from the bonus apps folder.
Recommended configuration - First page : sio scheduler, smartassV2 governer, 100-1100. Second page : Undervolt all voltages by 25mV.
With this configuration you will get extended battery life, slightly better performance and negligible heating.
BacklLight Notification Control
Use this if you want the backlight buttons to flash as messages notifications.
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.
Visidon Applock Best face unlock app in the market.
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.
Set it to lock your launcher and teach it your face for 3-5 shots. It works pretty good.
It comes with a defined numeric combination as an alternative.
Please note it takes up to 10MB RAM, so don't leave it active while playing heavy games...
SD MAID
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.
Comes with a set of tools, something like CCleaner or Regedit in Windows.
Good to maintain the healthiness of your device once in a while.
My StreetView - An external Google Street View browser.
Samsung Galaxy S 3 Wallpapers
Check your SDCard\SGS3 Wallpaers folder or launch your Gallery.

Thank you guys for the relentless and great work. Off to flash the rom :O)
While I am unable to read Hebrew, I have seen tons of thread related to getting it working properly on the SGS4G, so excellent work both of you! Its always great to see our wonderful phone get another ROM to add to the already fantastic collection.
I do have one question was there an issue with bhundven's KJ6 kernel and the Hebrew modifications done to your ROM? Is that the reason why you included drhonk's KJ1? Or is it performance related?

Thanks Guys! i was looking forward for a version for my T959V
Hi Fish72, long time no see.
It thrills us to see we can contribute to you, after all the explanations and guides you've given to the Hebrew SGS 4G community.
Your Froyo redux and GB Valhalla 1.2 guides have become the only Israeli SGS 4G place to go and get it figured out.
Hopefully this ROM will ease our lives, and i couldn't have made it without Alon, (who unlike me is an actual developer) and jumped into this project with no hesitation spending this significant time and effort.
Awesome. Glad to see you guys got it all figured out .
Great work guys! It's great to see all your hard work pay off! Grats!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Is this changeable back to English via Settings-> locale and text? or is it just in hebrew. I am wondering because if it is configurable, I will add support to AOSPStyle.
---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------
Also, How does "Hebfix" work, because if it changes english to RTL, then I won't port it.
Thanks for all the greeters!

Hi Airfluip!
I tried your suggested method for resources swapping, but something didn't work there. On next version we will look deeper into it.
Regarding your question, all system apps were just added values-iw, xml-iw and raw-iw in the resources.
You can try it with your method. It doesn't affect if you have English locale selected.
Regarding the framework, i think it ran over another locale (i see it between French and Italian).
No problem to choose English instead.
Please don't forget we also replaced some fonts and libs for the right to left support.
If you want we will share with you all our resources.

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom Hero ROM for the CDMA Hero! No wipe is required for this ROM.
You can now create a customised ROM containing only the parts you required - click here to read more about the MoDaCo Custom Custom ROM online kitchen!
MCR now optionally includes Wavesecure in ROM, allowing you to lock / locate / wipe your device remotely in the event of loss and be notified if the SIM is changed. The application cannot be uninstalled by a thief and we are actively working with Wavesecure to ensure that in a forthcoming release, your settings will survive a hard reset!
This ROM is based on the updated 'MR' ROM release series (together with my own optimisations) for the best possible performance! The ROM is packaged as a core version with optional add on packs.
Included in the 'core'
- Now includes a MoDaCo Custom Kernel 1.2 with EXT3/4, Compcache support, extended iptables support, NFS/CIFS, tun module and much more! To enable compcache, use the kitchen or edit /system/init.d/compcache.sh- Built with my new MCR build process which reduces size and boost speed of the ROM
- Rooted with 'adb remount' permission and superuser APK
- A2SD included (fully automatic - thanks cyanogen!) - create a EXT2 partition as your second partition to use. dalvik-cache remains on device.
- Added Jbed Java
- Added Dropbear SSH running by default, check 'About' screen for password (port 2222). You can now remove this by running /system/bin/removedropbear.sh
- Added Notes app from Dragon
- Added Spare Parts (run it and switch the 2 animation types to 'fast' for an even better experience!)
- Added WiFi Status indicator, with kind permission of Andrew Schwimmer
- Added busybox 1.15.3 with Droid Explorer support
- Added nano 2.09 - text editor for use in shell mode
- Added parted and sqlite tools
- Added terminfo and settings to boot.img to allow nano etc. use
- Added files required for Debian linux including loxley's updated bootdeb script
- Added all 4 available HTC widgets
- Moved Quickoffice to data partition to allow easy uninstall
- Moved Google Maps and Google Voice Search to data partition to allow easy update
- Deleted 'Learn More' application
- Silenced boot sound (it's still there and can be reactivated with a file edit)
- You can now check your MoDaCo Custom ROM (MCR) version from the about menu
Included in main 'enhanced' add on pack
- Added Business Card Scanner
- Added WAP browser
Other optional add on packs (apply as normal update zips)
- 'WaveSecure' add on pack (puts Wavesecure in ROM - it is no longer in core)
- 'Boot Sounds' add on pack (restores boot sounds)
- 'Hebrew Fonts' add on pack (installs hebrew fonts)
Recommended applications (available from the market)
- More Locale for setting non english Locales
Downloads
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...n-2-0-modaco-custom-rom-for-sprint-cdma-hero/
ENSURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP SO YOU CAN 'ROLL BACK' IF REQUIRED!
Please note that first boot may take a little while, especially if you have a lot of apps on your A2SD partition. Be patient! If you want a real clean start or you have issues with your existing A2SD installed apps when you boot, you need to wipe your EXT2 partition on SD too by executing 'adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app', 'adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app-private' and 'adb shell reboot'
The ROM is in an update.zip format for installation via the custom recovery image.
For the complete newbies, these are the steps you need to take with a 'virgin' Hero:
- Download and install (via rooting) the patched recovery image (step by step guide to follow)
- Download this custom ROM, and copy it to your SD card
- Enter the recovery image (if you're not in it already) by powering on while pressing 'home'
- Select 'nandroid backup' from the menu to do a backup
- If you copied the custom rom as update.zip, select 'apply sdcard:update.zip', else select the option below.
- all done
Feedback / feature requests welcome! This ROM is posted in multiple places - although I try to provide support everywhere the ROM is posted, of course you will receive the quickest response at MoDaCo.
Finally, if you like the MoDaCo Custom ROMs, consider supporting MoDaCo by visiting the subscriptions page and upgrading your account.

~Fearless~

Thank you Modaco! Thank you! I can't develop roms! lol. Not good at it apparently. Are you still uploading it though? Getting a 404. Soon as I download it I will be proud and happy to be a guinea pig.
Ignore my last post. Downloading now. Will let you all know how it works.
As I said in the first post, I have no CDMA Hero to test on, so we might need a few builds before we get any issues ironed out... we'll see!

Removed many bloat ware.. Some under the hood customizations.. gingerbread theme pre-installed!! some tweaks from both CM/froyomod and some other nexus one and htc roms!!
Can anyone tell about battery backup...... coz there is not much battery backup in modified roms as process keeps on active even phone is locked and consumes more battery....... is there any method to stop them plz tell....
Check it again it is there how to fix that...

Is the launcher2.apk.1 a leftover? Same for the Music.apk.1
because it is easily taking up around 4 megs of space.
looks good
Ill test this rom and report back tomorrow bro

As in?
because both these apps are taking around 8MB of internal memory...
I did delete them.. without any issues. So it would be better if you delete them from the next release. To add some more space

This kernel is based on the original Bali Kernel for Vibrant 3G. I'm not into OC/UV and will try to keep this as close to stock as possible but with balanced performance and good battery life.
- Bootanimation support
- EXT4 support
- init.d support
- Built in Voodoo CWM (red)
- Voodoo Lagfix
- Voodoo sound v9 (download voodoo app or voodoo plus from market)
- Adjusted HZ value to improve smoothness
- no FPS cap
- TinyRCU for better speed and efficiency
- lowmemorykiller patch for compatibility with Tiny RCU
- ext4 patch
- jhash3 for smoothness and responsiveness
- BFQ I/O scheduler to improve I/O throughput
- TUN (VPN support)
- CIFS (Samba support)
NOTE: this kernel will work with any 2.2.x based ROM.
Special Thanks:
Everybody at Team Whiskey .. you guys are awesome.
sduvick, ayoteddy, yogi2010, and fawkreviewz for testing this kernel
supercurio - for wonderful work on voodoo
Paul McKenny - TinyRCU
hardcore - for ideas on kernel tweaks and efficiencies
jdiddyub - for awesome boot logo image
DISCLAIMER:
As always, I'm not responsible with any damage cause to your phone.
INSTALL INSTRUCTION:
1. Upload kernel to your sdcard
2. Reboot to CWM
3. Flash the kernel using CWM
VOODOO LAGFIX INSTRUCTION on Second OP
KNOWN BUG:
Fail conversion process when trying to convert your /data back to RFS. (Still trying to fix this issue)
CHANGELOG:
Code:
2.2
- RFS conversion fix for /data (thanks sduvick for finding the fix and test)
2.1
- Added code tweaks
- Compiler optimization for better performance
2.0U3
- Fixed partition check during boot, ext4 conversion should work.
2.0
- Added Voodoo lagfix

- If you have red CWM (Voodoo Lagfix Recovery) then you can enable Voodoo from Voodoo options. If you don't get red CWM, reboot the phone and download Voodoo Control App. You can manage your voodoo lagfix from it. Once you enable voodoo lagfix from either red cwm or voodoo control app then reboot
- During reboot, you should hear female voice ("Linda") letting you know the status of your ext4 conversion
- Once your phone boots up it should have /cache, /data, and /system on ext4.
Enjoy

The ext4 conversion is the "lagfix"?
yes, but it we still need to get it working correctly.
Nice , just installed this kernal on my SK4G on Smooth Maximus ROM V2.0
Installed it.
Boot animation plays BOTH, stock AND bootanimation.zip
fixed that by renaming stock boot file with .bak at end.
but the startup sound still plays... cant figure out how to get that to shutup... any suggestions?
EDIt: just curious... how would one undo a kernel install? is there a stock kernel download for SK4G?
Would folks help me document what these various features do?
Here's what I know (or think I know):
- Bootanimation support
Allows for custom animations on boot instead of (or in addition to?) the Samsung / Sidekick animation.
- EXT4 support
Support for a well-loved and respected file system considered better (faster) than the one most Samsung phones ship with. This lays the groundwork for the lagfix, but it's not the whole thing.
- init.d support
init.d are Linux startup scripts that let you run customize the base OS at startup. I assume Android does not typically have them, and this enables them.
- Voodoo sound v9 (download voodoo app or voodoo plus from market)
(I do not know what this is. I could not find the mentioned apps in the market.)
- Adjusted HZ value to improve smoothness
(I don not know what this is.)
- no FPS cap
I assume this refers to a Frames Per Second animation cap? Probably intended to preserve battery life or make more CPU available to other apps? Things my animate smoother without it?
- TinyRCU for better speed and efficiency
(I don't know what this is, or what it does.)
- lowmemorykiller patch for compatibility with Tiny RCU
I assume this kills processes on low memory, but Android is supposed to do that anyway. I'd love to know more.
- ext4 patch
Like "ext4 support" above, this lets you use a more efficient sort of file storage format. We still need more to actually use it, though.
- jhash3 for smoothness and responsiveness
(I don't know what this is.)
- BFQ I/O scheduler to improve I/O throughput
(I don't know what this is.)
- TUN (VPN support)
VPN is Virtual Private Networking. It allows you to connect to a private network elsewhere, such as at an office, and access services that are only available on that private network, like file servers, printers, and email servers. It requires a VPN server and a bunch of configuration.
- CIFS (Samba support)
File sharing support. This would let you mount file shares to your phone and get to their files.
If folks could help fill me in on the things I don't know (and potentially correct me on anything I misrepresented or just plain got wrong) I'll be happy to update this post and we'll have a nice little FAQ.

I'd be glad to have a few more details on how you did that. Are these the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files in /system/media? Or just one or the other?
You had to remount the file system read/write to rename them, correct?

Used root explorer, and yes, those are the right files, you only need to rename bootsamsung.qmp (you can rename both if you want, i did)
...just add .bak so the file is bootsamsung.qmp.bak
that will make it so it only shows the (not sidekick/samsung) stock android boot animation.
then you can go find different animations online to put on your phone.
This is the one im using Youtube Link
Here is the download for bootanimation

To silence the startup sound just add ".bak" to the "PowerOn" files in system/etc.
It would be really cool if you make a version that doesnt use the stock boot animation and just the normal sidekick boot animation... other than that great job my phone is really fast now
Found a bug... The universal status composer in the notifications bar doesn't work properly... if you type something short like "test" it works fine but something long like this whole post it won't show the whole thing. It will just cut it off. PLEASE FIX

Great work Ganesh
But one thing about which I always think that all AOSP roms like cm7, cm7.1, cm7.2, cm9 & miui have same bug i.e. only picture mode is working in camera & no hd vdo recording. I know that in ICS its very difficult due to drivers not available for our chip. But at least in cm7 roms we must look into it. We must now concentrate on how we can get work done camera hd vdo recording by all possible ways. If once we achieve it all then it will be a big step for aosp roms
Its just my point of view guys. May be its wrong. Plz ignore it if u feel its not important.
Thank You

i totally agree with you,video rec is all we need to be fixed,would make these aosp rom's easy for everyday use,even tho i do use miui,i miss video recording,battery consuption is second place,everything else is not important.btw just i question i cant get dps manager to work,i get fc every time,i used dpsmanagerformiui.zip,also tried manually moving to system/app.
Good to c you work on cm7.2 will edit this post with feedbacks for all new versions u release downloading now
Edit-Flash procedure KPE+pit>kpu>universal cfroot by amit>CM2.7 zip>fact reset,cache,delvik,battery stats ! everythings smooth as butter ! gps shows 2 satellites at north and dont scatter seems like it needs gps tweaks ! battery is gud more bout battery later. music is same as in last version ! dsp works great no fc till now calls sms everything is great
Edit:2-v2 has several improvements .. audio quality seemed same to me. other than that the status bar is at the bottom (can b switched to back on top ) it has a soft back key the phone is definitely faster now ! VIBRATION IS FIXED apps launch 5x faster than stock roms settings has the option to enable mobile bravia engine dono if it works though and touch sensitivity is MUCH MUCH MUCH better now
Cool,i love CM kangs!Is this recompiled from source?
Btw,can u include some cherry-picks from gerrit?

Its an issue. Looking into it.
Can someone pls confirm working of GPS by default?
It was not working for me and replacing gps.ko from MIUI V9 did the trick.
Also i flashed Vurrut kernel v3 and no issues so far.
Edit: Sorry - i didnt noticed shiroman's post on GPS, so think the problem is only for me. I didn't do a clean install probably that's the reason.
Thank you, Ganesh.

If "OUR" device means Samsung Galaxy SL, then if you read the OP properly you will get your answer.
If you meant for some other device then its best you ask in the section meant for your phone.
Any success for wifi tethering? Any solution?
via i9003, powered by JP_MIUI
No deep sleep?
At OP description says "Sleep Settings : 300/300/Powersave."
Do this means that phone have not deep sleep mode?
could u kindly improve the network connectivity as well?
thank you for your effort

Installation guide
To flash this rom you need a custom recovery as CWM or TWRP. You can download TWRP for all Iocean from here.
Otherwise if you prefer CWM, download this CWMrecovery.img for Iocean x7 Youth/Youth Turbo or this one for Iocean x7 Plus/Elite and flash it through MobileUncleTools app.
I strongly recommend you to take a Nandroid Backup before flashing this (or any other) rom. I suggest you to backup your IMEI too. The easiest and safest way to do this is simply writing both IMEI on a piece of paper (you can find them in Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI information).
To install it, follow these simple steps:
Download zip file of the rom (see Download section) and put it in your sdcard - PUT IT IN EXTERNAL SD IF YOU WANT TO REPARTITION
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data (factory reset if you're using CWM), wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (advanced section in CWM) - DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM
Install rom zip from sdcard/external sdcard and follow Aroma installer wizard
Aroma installer will give you the possibility to repartition internal sdcard (more available space for apps).
If you choose "Do nothing" option, go to point #6 of this guide
If you choose "Repartition" follow instructions in the spoiler below:
ATTENTION: REPARTITIONING WILL FORMAT INTERNAL SDCARD
Click on "Repartition" and choose desired /data partition size (rom stock value is 1.5GB for any iocean model)
Installation process WILL NOT INSTALL ROM (only resize /data)
Reboot into your ORIGINAL ROM, you should get an error message as the one below (if you don't get this message, just skip this point):
Click on "Reset phone" (this will reboot into recovery) and wait until it automatically reboot into your original rom again
You now need to reboot into recovery to install GammaRom v1.2 (you only repartitioned your original rom so far). You can do this in 3 different ways (choose only one):
Quick way ---> Switch your phone off, connect it to your pc, push power button + volume up button at the same time until you enter recovery
Geek way ---> You can skip Google account login (if asked to login) tapping on upper left corner of the screen then upper right corner, botton right corner and finally botton left corner. Once skipped google signing in, reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Dummy way ---> Login with your Google account (if asked to login) and reboot into recovery using "Quick Boot" app (it has been installed into your original rom during repartitioning)
Congratulation, you successfully repartitioned your phone. :highfive: You can now follow this guide from point 3 onwards (wipe data, cache, dalvik and install rom zip) this time choosing "Do nothing" instead of "Repartition".
Follow Aroma instructions and reboot once finished
Be patient, first boot may take longer than usual
Read post #2 to get the best from this rom (do not skip this)
Enjoy

Configuration Guide
Configuration Guide
In order to get the best experience from this rom, read guide below:
AVOID CRAP IMPORTANT!!
Absolutely DO NOT install crappy apps on this rom: NO RAM Booster apps, NO task killers, NO Clean Master, no apps that just consume ram, increase wakelocks and produce lags.
Any kind of task killer will heavily increase lags on this rom whose background apps are already handled by its optimizations scripts. This kinda app will only create conflicts.
Remember to not install AdAway (or similar) neither because this rom has an AdBlock already included. If possible avoid Antivirus too, IMO they're not really necessary on Android.
Resolution Changer
What is it?
This is a series of scripts written by me which will let you change iocean x7 resolution from 1080x1920 to any other value lower than stock. At the same time it gives you the possibility to change dpi according to your preferences.
Why should you use this?
Reducing resolution will boost your performances from different point of views: first of all smoother scrolling, faster interface, lower ram usage and probably even a better battery life (I still need to check this one).
Anyways these scripts are not meant to permanently reduce your resolution, but only in case of need: you can switch to lower resolution when you need to increase performances (for example for gaming) and switch back to stock 1080p resolution as performances boost is no longer needed.
Everything is made completely automatic through these scripts, you just need to launch them and follow instructions.
I know that this could be done through an app, but first of all that app is for pay in my country (that's why I created this), secondly an app consumes ram, this script does not! :laugh:
Is there any drawback?
Yes, lowering resolution will temporarily make your menu, home and back button unavailable. They will stop working until you switch back to 1080p resolution: it's not possible to make them work at lower resolutions, that's why this script automatically enables software keys.
Moreover some apps may not be shown correctly depending on resolution used; here a few examples:
-Xperia Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 720p resoution (720x1280)
-Apex Launcher doesn't show icons of correct size at 600p resoution (600x1066)
-Swiftkey keyboard doesn't show properly at lower resolution (use GammaRom stock keyboard)
- [...]
You simply need to change launcher/keyboard if the one you're using is not completely compatible with requested resolution.
How can you change resolution?
I made it simple for you, just read hidden instructions below!
First of all launch Android Terminal Emulator app and enter one of these commands (first time you launch this script, it'll ask for root privilages):
Code:
resolution width height dpi
Sets resolution to (width)x(height) and dpi to (dpi). For example you can type in terminal emulator the following:
Code:
resolution 720 1280 320
entering this will set resolution to 720x1280 and dpi to 320dpi that are typical values for 720p screens (Samsung Galaxy S3, ...)
Code:
resolution 1080 1920 480
entering this will set resolution to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi that are typical values for 1080p screens (Iocean x7 stock values, ...)
With this command (resolution width height dpi) You can set resolution to any value you want. Of course be reasonable: you have a 16:9 screen so (height)/(width) should always be around 16:9. You can start from 1080p stock values (1080 1920 480) and divide these three number by the same quantity. For example, dividing by 1.2, another good working command would be:
Code:
resolution 900 1600 400
which will set resolution to 900x1600 and dpi to 400dpi. Everything clear? Hope it is! You can experiment as many resolution as you wish and find out which one is the best for your usage.
In addition to "resolution width height dpi" command, I prepared other 5 easy to use scripts that you can launch simply typing:
Code:
1080p
it's the same as "resolution 1080 1920 480" (reverts back to stock Iocean values)
Code:
900p
it's the same as "resolution 900 1600 400"
Code:
720p
it's the same as "resolution 720 1280 320"
Code:
600p
it's the same as "resolution 600 1066 260"
Code:
500p
it's the same as "resolution 500 890 220"
These 5 scripts (1080p, 900p, 720p, 600p, 500p) can be used with "f" option (where "f" stands for "fast"). Let's make an example:
Code:
1080p f
typing "1080p f" in terminal emulator resolution will be quickly set to 1080x1920 and dpi to 480dpi without any waste of time. Resolution script has a lot of checks that ensures that you know what you're doing and that explains in details what the script is doing. Typing in android terminal "resolution 1080 1920 480" or "1080p" or "1080p f" will revert back to stock resolution in all three cases, but the last one (1080p f) will do it more quickly.
The same for "900p f", "720p f", "600p f", "500p f": they switch to 900p, 720p, 600p and 500p resolution more quickly than without typing "f".
Here's a screen just to give you an idea on how it looks like:
How can you revert back to stock Iocean resolution?
Simply launch Android Terminal emulator and type:
Code:
1080p
or
Code:
1080p f
In case of issues of any kind that make this procedure unavailable, flash following zip in recovery (only in case of emergency, otherwise use procedure described above):
Emergency_restore_to_stock_resolution.zip
AdBlock
GammaRom has an embedded AdBlocking service which will prevent most part of adverts/malicious websites from showing. Sometimes its action may be unwanted (it may block safe websites that you intentionally want to visit). That's why I created this simple script that gives you the possibility to switch between 3 different adblocking according to your needs.
Launch Android Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
adblock
Folllow instructions and choose your preferred AdBlocking:
No adblocking (Iocean x7 stock rom default)
AdAway adblocking (Light and fast adblocking - Gamma v1.2 default)
Mother of All AD-BLOCKING by BSDgeek_Jake (slightly higher ram usage, but very aggressive and complete adblocking: blocks almost any Ads - Gamma v1.0 default)
Sometimes AdAway and Mother of All Adblocking may block even safe websites from showing; if this happen to you, launch terminal emulator and disable all adblocking (option 1) and enable them again when you want them back (option 2 or 3).
Battery Life
Here you can find 3 advices that will greatly improve your phone Battery Life:
Die Hard Battery Calibrator (by zeppelinrox)
I included in this rom Die Hard Battery Calibrator script developed by zeppelinrox. Follow instructions below to take the max out of your battery:
Charge your phone till 100%
Keep phone plugged in, launch terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
BatteryCalibrator
Follow instructions (wait until phone voltages overcomes 4200mV, then type "A" which will reboot your phone after 20minutes (leave it plugged in still) )
Once rebooted, you can type BatteryCalibrator in terminal emulator again and check voltage and battery percentage (just to check, this step is not really fundamental)
Unplug your phone (shown voltage will go down a bit) and use it the whole day until it turns off (battery percentage shown may not be real since you just deleted batterystats)
Recharge till 100%
Use your phone!
Google Location service
Disabling this will improve your battery life a lot; especially if you don't need it (if you need it, try to keep it disabled when not necessary).
Launch Settings > Location Access > Disable "Wi-Fi & mobile network location"
Monitor Wakelocks
I included Wakelock Detector app developed by ahikmat in this rom. This app lets you check which app or service is draining your battery generating wakelocks (high number of wakelocks = high battery drain).
Launch Wakelock Detector app > go into settings > enable advanced mode > Check whether any suspicious/unwanted app is generating wakelocks.
You can find a detailed guide on how to use this app in original thread linked above.
GravityBox
GravityBox is an Xposed module which uses Xposed framework to apply real time modifications to your system. This gives you the possibility to customize your android device according to your needs.
Once you've installed this rom, launch GravityBox app (or go to Settings>GravityBox if you prefer) and mod your Iocean as you wish: most part of modifications will be applied immediately, part of them may require reboot to become effective.
Viper4Android
This mod gives you the possibility to enhance audio quality and volume in a quite surprisingly way if configured properly.
Once installed this rom, launch Viper4Android, give it root access and click on "Yes" at V4A Driver Update request. Choose desired installation type (keep in mind that this will affect battery life) and reboot. Once rebooted you're now ready to customize your phone's audio response according to your tastes: launch Viper4Android and enable Viper4Android features as you wish in the three fields Headset/Phone Speaker/Bluetooth Device.
In order to further edit the audio, it's possible to download (free or paid) some Impulse Response Samples (IRS); see the thread below for a detailed guide and further details about it:
[V4A][IRS] Impulse Response Sample Index Thread
If you're lazy and don't wanna read that guide, just download the following IRS starter pack, unzip it and put all *.irs files in the path /sdcard/ViPER4Android/kernel (this path will be automatically created by V4A app once you install drivers). All these *.irs files will become selectable in Convolver field inside V4A app.
IRS Starter Pack.zip
Xposed Framework
Xposed Framework app has a "Download" section where you can upgrade existing xposed modules (eg: GravityBox) everytime their developer releases a new version or even download new modules from the list to add new features. Be careful though: some of them are incompatible with each other and other are only device specific (Samsung, HTC, ...) and won't work on your phone. Moreover too many xposed modules may slow down system according to my personal experience.
GravityBox already covers most part of other modules features, but another good module is "App Settings" which, for example, will give you the possibility to set different DPI for each app.
GPS
GPS connection had a perceivable improvement with latest kernel and modules and I added some optimizations that will help too. To make it work properly you'll need to modify the first lines of gps.conf in /system/etc path with specific servers for your country.
Inside gps.conf you'll find these servers that work good for Italy:
Code:
# Italy ===============================
NTP_SERVER=it.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
If you live in Europe, just edit the first with the one for your country, otherwise you'll need to edit both. Leave all the rest of gps.conf file exactly as it is, just edit these lines. You can find a list of servers for any country here.
For example if you live in Slovakia (Europe) first lines of build.prop would become something like this:
Code:
# Slovakia ============================
NTP_SERVER=sk.pool.ntp.org
# Europe ==============================
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
In order to speed up gps fix, open Settings>Location Access and enable EPO (download epo data too), A-GPS, GPS and launch Location Engineering menu. Once in Location Engineering Mode, go to GPS tab and enable GPS to scan satellites (need to be outside to find any). After a few minutes it should start fixing satellites (first ever fix will take longer) and you should be finally able to use Iocean x7 GPS.
Another advice I can give you is to use Copilot as navigation app!
If it still doesn't work the only way is to modify your antenna (as I did).
Hardware Keys Backlight
This will work only on Iocean x7 Youth clocked @1.2GHz (no effects on any other Iocean x7).
You can turn on/off hardware keys backlight typing:
Code:
lights on
turns lights on
Code:
lights off
turns lights off
Ringtone
You probably still don't understand why I'm pointing this out...well...you'll get it once you receive your first incoming call...I love this ringtone, but probably many of you won't! If you're among them, go into Settings>Audio profiles>General and change ringtone. I recommend you to keep it
That's it guys, flash responsibly! :good:

Yes, you should have both stock camera and lenovo camera, the same for Gallery. If Settings>Viper4Android crashes it means there's no Viper4Android installed. Try to check in app drawer whether you see it or not. I just tried to flash again with TWRP the whole rom on my Iocean Youth and got no issues.
It seems like your installation process had some issues, which recovery have you used? Anyways try to flash back formatting cache, dalvik, data and system, possibly with a different recevoery (I tested it on my TWRP linked in post #1) and let me know :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I tried to flash with CWM recovery linked in post#1 and had no issues even in that case
EDIT2: I flashed starting from different situations (stock youth 0703, stock elite 0722, custom, ...) with different recoveries, but couldn't reproduce your issues on my youth. As I said, try to flash back and don't forget full wipe.
In antutu I have score 10 000 and you ?
Samba haven't tried you ROM yet but just downloaded this ROM from here http://www.needrom.com/mobile/iocean-x7-youth-2/ , its a really nice ROM and finally got CSR racing and empirior warriors 2 working without lags.

I have got and Iocean Youth also and so far that's the best ROM I have found in terms of stability , gaming and benchmark .

Anyways 10000 is not normal, do you have any CPU governor installed? It seems like you're not running at maximum clock.
My antutu on GammaRom is 12899 as you can see in the pic:
Antutu is definitely not important, but check that's everything's fine (CPU clock, background apps,...).

Yeah I've that rom on my SD card, I quickly tried it a few weeks ago. Benchmarks aren't very significant, but as you can see above I got an higher score. That doesn't mean much, if I repeat that test in different situations results will change.
I'll focus on GammaRom for the next period because I prefer to concentrate my efforts on only one work rather than releasing many roms almost equal to each other. For the future I'd rather start from a clean stock rom, and I like Iocean's firmware which is really clean and close to Vanilla android. I tried many xperia roms, but don't really liked them so far. Anyways I still couldn't download Xperia C stock rom to give it a try. We'll see!

You can see a few screenshots in post #1. I took xperia launcher and I slightly modded it, but you can change it if you don't like it (I can give you stock launcher if you prefer). For what concerns icons they are Iocean's stock ones except from some of them which I replaced with higher definition ones taken from thl firmware (email, sms,...).

Are those languages included in stock rom? I didn't touch anything language related (just fixed SMS app FC for Netherlands).
If those apps crash it means they're not installed. Flash again the whole rom with full wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system) and check if you have Viper4android and GravityBox installed. If you don't have them it means the rom wasn't installed properly (need to riflash).
Not sure why some of you is not getting /data partition properly installed, I'll investigate further, but I need to know which recovery you are using. I've tested them on both recoveries linked in post #1 with no issues. Which one did you use?
