Here is a copy of espt.apk. I've used it on newsense and mikg to try out prl and change a few other things.

ESPT works perfect on newSense . Just checked it. Oh and in order to check if it's working just tap in ##3282# on the Dial Pad. That will pop up a Menu that says View, or Edit. If you choose Edit your going to need your MSL. If you don't have it you can get it by DL'ing MSL Reader Free in the Play Store .

sweet thanks i actually forgot i had to stock rom backed up from when i originally rooted my phone the first time so that is basically stock with root and busy box
now i gotta figure out what to do to the epic to get it to work or what rom to flash
thanks all

You just described my rom I have rom manger.. is that what your talking about? I told you that on talk but I thought you wanted "stock" "stock" so that's why I linked you to the ruu. If you want to keep root and just activate it over the phone basicly with sprint then the rom on rom manager is the one you want.

nah, i was going to let this one ride
Lol Thanks for your answer but maybe you don't understand I'm running miui with stable oc and all..My question wasn't if I could download Rom in our dev section I was asking if rom manager worked with flashing on phones I would like to make something if it doesn't work on our phone .
Example.
I don't know if anyone has an Acer a500 but in the market they have a premium app called Acer recovery. That APP downloads/flashes roms, recovery files, themes, kernels, fixxes, and other needs that is what I would like to do for this device.
Sorry for the confusion.

rom manager works just fine....even my rom is in there.
Yea I just seen that sorry I'm new to inspire but I'd like to create somthing that has those Roms plus these on xda but I'm sure id get shot down with the quickness since Rom manager seems to rule..

you can create whatever you like, it has been tried before, but the de-facto happens to be rom manager.
i would go out on a limb by saying that 85% of flashing is done via downloading the rom zip to the phone and booting into recovery. its kind of what people have been bred to do at this point. rom manager doesnt work well every time, so creating something unique would be a hard niche to snag
Yea I agree I use Rom manager only for a couple of roms back with the incredible but all ways wanted something else.. that I can grab links from the net. Id like to do an app that would do webhosting with updated regularly updated Roms, kernels, radios, themes you know how it is checking xda and Rom manager for stuff it gets tedious and would be great for a app that gives u everything with a push of the button of course is have to find help for such an app great idea ill start development as soon as I can.

Got to agree with PG. I even tell people that use certain rom's to avoid rom manager as it doesn't always work. As for another app of this sort, the hard part is getting the Dev to update it. Mainly sense you can't just add everything without asking permission from each of the dev for the rom, theme, kernel, ext.

Can someone point me to the stock rom for our phones

my wife is not loving not being able to send/receive pics on her weapon rom.

will i need to worry about unrooting the phone?
The rom is already rooted if i remember correctly
it's the same method I used to upgrade from froyo
and no prob dude.
P.S if you don't know TMO is pushing out an OTA so if ur with them u get a new baseband and 2.3.4 rom and I've heard it solves a lot of issues but beware if u do update u won't be able to make calls on any other roms than stock because of.the new baseband

Just rooted using the root 66 method. Worked great. Debloated a little bit but wanna try a custom Rom. I've read but can't seem to grasp how to flash roms yet. Can anyone offer some tips? Do you need adb or can you flash wherever ?

If you want a kernel you have to use certain recoveries. So you can use kexec. There's more on that in original development.

Get ez-recovery, makes flashing different recoveries super easy. After flashing rom and setting up, go back to recovery and flash the kernal. That's what I did on synergy and imo's kernal. Beans v5 flashes it all at once. So far both run great with very good battery life.

If you flash any CM10 based ROM's you will have to do some extra steps. IMO you should just start off with Touch Wiz based ROMS so all you need to do is flash from your SD once and reboot.

Rom with spell checker?

I just got this phone yesterday to discover that the stock rom (rooted) doesn't have the red line show up under a misspelled word. I had this on my evo 4g running cm9 or 10.
Does anyone know of a rom, or roms, that would have this feature.

I installed LantinIME.apk from a rom I extracted for the evo. The keyboard worked but still no spell checker. Did you happen to notice if any of the roms you've flashed had this feature, preferably an ICS rom?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I also think this is a keyboard feature. Try installing one of the different keyboards from the play store.
I'm using swift 3, no red lines on touchwiz, however my galaxy player 5.0 running cm9 w/swift 3 has it (did not on touchwiz). I assume this is a rom feature.

Would you happen to know if that would work with the stock rom (rooted) for Verizon?
I just got the phone and even though I've been doing a ton of reading, I'm still a noob when it comes to the s3. And the last thing I want to do is mess anything up. Atlest with the evo 4g I didn't have to worry about different carriers and what not.

The changes made should work. So basically if you compared the changes of this to their stock rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825272 and then applied the same changes to our stock rom, it would work. BUT their files as is will not work.
Basically, it would probably take about 15 minutes for someone to do if they knew what they were doing. I however don't have 15 minutes to spend on this so I can't help right now lol.

so what I would do is download their stock deodex and extract the files that are included in the mod.
Then, decompile the .jars and apks that were modded and the stock version
Run winmerge on them to see exactly what they changed
Then make those exact changes to our stock deodex rom. So you will need to decompile 3 sets of files and recompile 1 set.

I got apktool installed and decompiled framework.jar where it creates a folder called smali. The problem is, I can't view any of the contents from within it. If I go to properties it states contents "nothing" yet shows free space as being 66.7 GB. So I know that there's something in there, I'm just not allowed to view the contents. I read somewhere that you need a text editor?
I did all this on a Linux machine (Mint 13.) I'm gonna try it on a windows PC next just to see what happens.
Edit: I found out that by changing .jar to .apk and then decompiling it allowed me to view the contents. Now I'm sitting at trying to open the TextView.smali. lol
Edit 2: for some reason it's not working for the JellyWiz rom. It's still not showing the contents from within the samli folder.

Looking to Develop

Hey everyone, just thought I'd give a little short intro about myself before i get to the point so no one bombs me for being a noob or anything. I've been around since the DroidX days so I'd say I'm pretty experienced when it comes to rooting and hacking and roms and all. I have done some tweaks back in the day with the Droid Bionic mostly so I know my way around that. Now, in the Android Development section PureMotive started a thread on how to port roms and I thought I'd give it a try. I've been wanting to develop something at least for a long time now and I thought i'd start by porting something. So getting to the point now
I have selected a rom from the AT&T side. It is a TW JB rom. I have made sure i followed his directions to the t. Now about the rom, It succesfully boots and everything is working...except it won't recognize the sim card. It's live on the Verizon Network, however, my number doesnt show up and there is no data. I was wondering if anyone would like to help me out with this.
Thanks so much everyone and I look forward to releasing something in the near future!
if you experience no signal, data, etc - open framework-res.apk from the ROM you want to port (ex. At&t rom) in 7zip and locate eri.xml and delete it. Then open framework-res.apk from the base ROM (ex. Verizon rom) and take eri.xml from that ROM and put it in the framework-res.apk of the ROM you want to port.
