[Rom] MADS REWORKED Stock GB V21a (V1.0 Stable)

Welcome to my first rom thread... I noticed that most roms tend to use launchers such as ADW or Launcher Pro, but being a person of simple tastes, I decided to have a go at making my own rom using the stock gingerbread launcher.
This is v1.0 of my rom, its fast, based on the latest (official) v21a release from LG, so far with a few minor (but effective) changes.
REMOVED:
Some (not all yet...) LG bloatware and relevant odex files,
LGHome.apk and LGHome.odex
The default boot animation.
ADDED:
FM Radio... (not tested it as I cant find my headset, but im sure it works >.<)
Android particals (boot animation, GB green),
Root Explorer,
Rom Manager,
The stock GB launcher (launcher2.apk).

INSTALLATION:
For this rom to work, you will need the GB baseband installed (either from the official v21a release or the leaked version from a week or so back).
Unrar the download, and copy to your external SD cards,
/clockworkmod/backup/
Use Rom manager or CWM and wipe all, then restore this pack.
Thoughts and suggestions for future versions welcome
If you like this rom, please hit me up with a thanks, (or buy me a beer ).

im looking forward to this i wanted the stock GB loader lol i like it and i know its not going to be buggy thanks
downloading now,
i cant wait

First post updated with the download link.
http://www.multiupload.com/X482Y22THC

Downloading now.....
I don't need to flash the baseband since this is the Official GB Rom right?

I should of stated in the first post, you need to already have the baseband (either via the official v21a release or the leaked version a week or so back).
Will update the first post now.

Thanks awesome smooth fast and sexy rom.

Fyi... you should delete gmail and vending plus their odex file since you put in the new files. They are in there twice...
Good job otherwise

Will sort that in the next version, thanks for the tip

Root explorer is a payed app, be carefull when including those apps on your future versions, you may have problems. Keep up the work, O3D needs more people interested on developing.

Oh, whoops, (Thanks for the tip) I never really thought about payed apps, I'll include a different file browser in the next release, any other features anyone would like to see included? (I'm not fully to grips with Android development yet, but I learn quickly ).

I agree that we should support developers. I was using cydia (during my iPhone age) and using lots of crackwares. But having realised that I am putting the developers down I started buying apps and use only apps legally acquired.

Same. I used to do that during part of my time with the iPhone but not all of it.
And 110% agree with being behind the devs. Without them, we don't get this.... any of it.

Hi madshaun1984
Does skype front/rear camera works with this ROM.
Thanks.

I don't use skype personally on my phone, but I'll see about adding it in my next release, I've got it over-clocked atm, and I'm currently toying with a few other tweaks to see how they work/respond. Will upload what I've got later on today if I get time
Anything else you guys would like to see in this rom? (the over-clock will be implemented, but will be (2 click) easy to disable to if you choose to)

I, for one, would really like to see a ROM with an easy overclock which I could set to my preferred setting. I have been looking at overclocking for the last few weeks but it doesn't look very easy to do as I'm not very used to scripting, etc, just getting into modding my phone these last few months so still a noob really.
Cheers

I think multiupload is down or something, does anyone have another link?

Upload the wallpaper in the screenshot please???
That's all I got to say bout that...

[Q] Help rooting S Galaxy S2 (noob)

Hi
first off, if I am braking any rules by posting this here then pls direct me to the correct forum (very sorry if its in wrong place)
anyhow, I just got a new contract with a Samsung Galaxy S2 on virgin mobile (UK) & am hoping to root it so I can "maybe" install a new rom etc but the main reason I want root is because of the bloat that came with the phone. I don't really want to damage the phone, so I wont try until I know I am confidant in doing it without killing my baby.
can anybody either tell me how search works here because I cant find any info, or failing that tell/show me the easiest safest way to gain root on my baby.
if I root will virgin be able to tell if I ever need to send it in for repairs. I've heard of yellow triangles & flash counters & USB jigs & am very, very confuzed. pls help

I believe your model is the i9100, if so follow the guide below.

You can root via kernel which is the easiest
Sent from my LG-V909 using Tapatalk

if I root using this method can Samsung find out if I have to send it back, or is my warranty null & viod if I root?. thanks

I believe any method of rooting will void your warranty, so its best to return it to stock before sending it back to Samsung.

So again ill ask, is there any way for sum one to connect to my pc & root it for me pls? I don't want ics flashing, I just want root.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

It's not that difficult, invest some time and you can do it yourself.
There are even youtube videos guiding people how to root their device.
If you have trouble or questions about a specific step ask here.
I wouldn't recommend giving a random person access to your computer via teamview...
Its usually:
- Find out what ROM version you currently have
- Look for the right kernel with root matching your ROM
- Get usb drivers for your computer
- Reboot your device in download mode
- Use Odin or Heimdall to flash the new kernel
From a quick glance, this looks pretty solid:
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
Edit: was bored looked around some more.
So this actually is okay too:

And this was the one i used to root a friends sgs2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Most difficult part was actually choosing the right kernel fitting the ROM, too much choice

thanks for the info.
can you tell me exactly which unsecure firmware to go for pls?
these are my kernel version etc on my phone...

A comprehensive guide will be available if you take your time and dig the sub-forums for the S2.

hey man ,
take a look at this , it's a one click thing. super easy super safe. your warranty won't work anymore , you have to be aware of that. so here you go
(i'm a new member of xda so i'm not allowed to post links)

Try SuperOneClick. It's literally 1 click to root...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
You'll need the drivers for your phone already installed (Kies installs them for you), and you'll need to kill all processes that are related to Kies. Just read what to do on the above mentioned thread and you'll be rooted in no time.

Yup, I gathered that. Have a thanks

OK so I found the insecure & secure kernel for my fone (XWKI4) & I'm pretty sure cf-root is the way to go to gain root, but now I'm confused about the custom can in cf-root, I've read that in ics USB storage don't work, video record don't work etc so my question is this, should I root it at all as ics official will be out very soon & that has everything working except flash so should i wait? The 1 thing that's pushing me towards say CM9 ICS is the lack of touchwiz UI, if i choose a custom rom I get the full ICS UI experience which is what I'm after, but as this phone is very expensive I really don't like the idea of voiding my warranty 2 weeks into a 12 month contract. Suggestions welcome (& yes I've spent 6 days reading ALL sections & posts.)

you got it wrong man , you don't need the secure and insecure kernel anymore , look for the superonclick method. all you have to do is download a couple of stuff , plug your phone and click.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
everything works on ICS , it depends on the ROM you choose. so far the only incomplete ROM is the Cyanogenmod 9. but i'm currently on Resurrection ICS Remix v1.0 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 )
and it runs great. it's blazing fast and super stable and everything works great. including camera and sd storage.

Cheers so if I root with SOC how do i then install Clockworkmod so i can flash ics resurection? Thanks for all the answers

Could it have something to do with the patch? The phone works but I can't restore any previous backups because of md5 missmatch.

Works nicely on my wife's phone. Very fast and smooth. Thank you for your work on this! Looking forward to your ICS rom.. but she's not as tech savy, so I'll wait until that's a bit more stable.

My Mercury got stuck at the Huawei logo. When I pressed Vol + and vol - while pushing the power button would get me to a pink screen.
I choose install zip from SD card and chose your zip then got an error. Kinda spooked about doing it again. I took it to a local dealer and he fixed it (have no idea what he did) I'm assuming that he pressed Vol + and hit the power button silly me I never figured that out I read it but it never sunk in.
Now my problem is No matter what I try I cant get into custom recovery with the phone buttons it just starts normally. Is it ok to start custom recovery from Clockwork mod application? I can get there just fine. Little freaked that I might soft brick it again. Any idea what they did to unbrick it? I did have ADB setup last year when I rooted it. If so I need to reinstall Linux
stats:
build number M866V100R001C156B861SP05
kernel version 2.6.35-7perf
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version 404020
Thanks..

Hey aorta I'm hardly ever on this site. To find the latest news visit cricketusers.com. Looke for a threa called "stock replacement Rom" also you can use my easy root it's there as well. And NEVer fladh a custom recovery for merc in rom manager. May Brick it.

[INFO Needed] AT&T SM-T217A - Development [INFO Needed]

Hello everyone, I am in the process of development for the SM-T217A however, I require some information form members who have this device. (mostly for my verification). below is what information i will need so if you are able to provide it that would be much appreciated.
1. Are you rooted? If so what method (kingo, etc).
2. Screenshot of your "Settings- About".
3. Screenshot or picture of your device in "Download" mode. (For verification of some system information).
4. Whether or not you have flashed the official 4.2.2 image from Samsung using Odin.
If you can all bear with me on what may sound like simplistic questions this will go a long way towards some custom development for this device.
My development background is with HTC devices however I recently expanded into the Samsung market and have noticed the lack of development for the AT&T devices (Mostly do to no unlocked bootloaders).

I'm glad to see development for this device!
1. Not at the moment, purchased yesterday.

:good:

Rooted with kingo
Running 4.2.2, not from odin.

good, this confirms we dont have the knox bootloader, at least not until 4.4 comes out
also even tho there are knox components we can remove those without ill effect
I am currently running the current configuration (and the device still shows as official)
Rooted (using kingo app)
init.d support added (not using any boot.img methods)
several init scripts for battery enhancement and performance
a few other various tweaks including xPosed modules
Samsung know applications and folders removed via script.
suggestions and recomendations would be welcome.

Finally! Thanks
Rooted With Klingo I think
Stock 4.2.2

Welcome to the Samsung side of things!
Im rooted using kingo unit came with 4.2.2. If you still need screen shots let me know and ill send some. Have tested for a number of devs doing Samsung roms on other devices. Let me know if you need help with anything you are developing.

just throwin this out there
I have an idea. Understand I am not a developer, nor a zip flashing custom recovery android guru by any means. Im a noob that just loves the topic, as you can see this is now only my second post so here it goes.
would there be a way to use the root access to partition the internal sd, then relocate system files apps and data to the primary, allowing you to wipe the secondary disk partition and side load/install the stock rom from the t217s? Kind of like creating a virtual nand and have a dual boot setup? Then we could flash and backup the recovery and take over bootloader?
this is just me daydreaming and feel free to flame as I have no knowledge if the above is possible or not.
I just hope this shows that I am willing and eager to assist the development process any way I can.
lastly I am scared to install xposed framework because with locked bootloader I cant flash recovery and backup. There is almost no information on user experience with xposed on our t217a devices, any feedback pertaining to kernel tweaking without custom recovery or backup would be nice.
thank you very much

first, what you are proposing is actually capable via the safestrap application (our device is not supported as of yet and likely wont be) so basicaly the answer is no.
as far as xPosed goes, I have been rooted (with kingo app) and running exposed since the day I brought it home from the AT&T store with absolutely no issues what so ever. I have also managed to set this up with init.d support and tweak some battery and performance counters without the need for a insecure boot image.
there is much that this device can do and I have a few additional things to try and may have a test flash in a few days. (first try flashed for me but not for a tester next one hopefully will be more stable.
its just a bit tricky with odin I am used to HTC devices and unlocked bootloaders building an odin flashable tar.md5 with proper signatures in theory should be a simple straightforward process. however it has tripped me up as of today.

Oh Wow!
Thanks for the input on xPosed. As far as the init.d support goes, command line prompt and entry as well as scripting for some reason confuses me. ill need to do more research before I can understand the topic. Do we have an insecure boot.img on our kingo app roots? if not then can we only achieve true root access through init.d support until we can flash a touchable recovery?
Keep up the good work, im impressed that you've had a successful flash. my financials will be looking better here soon and when I can ill definitely donate to the cause. Im no developer by far but if me or my device can be of any assistance let me know.

sm-t217a
Good to see someone wanting to work on these tabs, if you need anything let me know. I can wipe my device and copy all the files, could probably extract the blobs also, I am downloading the cm source as I type this and was going to try and delevope a rom for my other tab 3 the sm-t210r and see if antthing would transfer over, I know the sm-t217a has a better processor with overclock im at 20,000 on antutu, I think if my memory serves me right best I got with the sm-t210r is like 12 or 13,000.
I am still new to dev. Pretty good at the rest of the stuff though, been using and getting familar with ubuntu lately

as far as what can copy between the two devices, system apps (any non device specific apps may work but most of those will be common between the devices.
its slow going I am able to pull apart the official 4.2.2 rom and manipulate as needed just need to get past a couple of quirks with Odin and hopefully we will be good to go. once I get past the odin flash issues ill definetly be looking for more testers and help with this.

tester for sure

i am subscribed to this thread now so... Yea whatever you need let me know i am in, I am going to do some hardcore reading tonight and see what i can figure out about getting a custom recovery for these devices, another device that is identical from what i can come up with is the sprint version of the tab 3 sm-t217s.

Thread Closing
I have asked the Mods to close this thread, I will be opening a thread in the Tab3 7.0 Development section in the coming days with some modifications tweaks and some scripting changes. Unfortunately building a Odin Flashable ROM that is stable and usable at this point is not going to happen but i am able to implement several tweaks and cleanups etc thru scripting.

**MY HUAWEI ASCEND P2 HAS DIED, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING FOR THIS ROM BUT I WILL STILL HELP THOSE WITH THE P2**
CrispeROM v0.1 BETA
This ROM is for the Huawei Ascend P2 and is based off the B021 update from Huawei.
Please note: This is a BETA ROM and should be considered experimental.
Things you will need:
Huawei Ascend P2
TWRP of any kind [here's the version I use]
ADB Knowledge
Bugs:
- Whatsapp crashing (fix by rooting, removing the APK from /system/apps and then re-downloading from Play Store)
If you find any please post in this thread.
Changes:
Still lots to be made but so far just fairly basic
- Replaced the Launcher with 2 alternatives
- Edited build.prop
- Replace contacts, SMS Messaging and dialer app with free alternatives
- Integrated Facebook app
- Changed the default keyboard to the Google Keyboard
- Removed stock browser (because it was awful and a complete waste of 30MB)
- Stopped android making the phone starve itself of available RAM (A serious problem I had with stock ROM)
- Dramatically reduced boot time
- Added fast boot option in Settings
- Silenced the camera snap sound
- Replaced the Boot animation (to a really cool one)
Here are some screenshots of the ROM so far:

Enjoy!
If you have any ideas feel free to post them too!

I like the look of this ROM but I'm going to wait for a BO38 version. It's only because it has better battery life and 4g

I have made tweaks to the ROM to improve battery life.
I cant speak on behalf of 4G but hopefully someone can tell me whether or not it works as 4G isn't available in my area, but it should work.

I'm tempted to flash this rom. Does it mention 4G in the settings.

Take a backup of your current ROM and then flash this one, if 4G doesn't work then flash back (you will be able to with TWRP)
I have spoken to Three and they have said that B021 update is 4G capable.
Like I mentioned above I can't test this myself as I don't have 4G in my area.
There's a *#xxxxx# code out there that opens the 4G settings, if I can get ahold of that code I'll pass it onto you and you can manually enable 4G if it's not already.
Thank you

Ok my temptation beat me and I flashed the rom. It's a good start and I think 4G does work because it was enabled in settings. I liked it but I prefer different dialer. The only problem I really had with it was that It removed root and super user as well as the fact there is no FM radio app. I might test the 4g later when I am in an 4g area.

Thank you for being the 1st tester of the ROM.
Please let me know how things go so I can improve the ROM.
You can install any dialer from the Play store and you can re-root using TWRP (it should give you the option to install SuperSU when you go to Reboot > System)
Enjoy!

Do i just use abd fastboot to flash your twrp on the p2 then flash as 'per' any rom, after i backup my own rom ?
Is it still possible to delete some stuff i don't like in the rom like facebook?

Yes, "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" is the command you want.
Then copy the zip to the SD card using "adb push <zipname>.zip /sdcard"
Then install using TWRP recovery.
Also, unfortunately my P2 has died, so I've had to buy a new phone and I'm going to have to put an end to this project, anyone who wants to expand on the ROM and rename it, feel free.
I wish those who still own this device good luck with ROM Development.
I will still help people on the threads I've made so far.
