[ROM]PORT-NEW LUNA CM 6.0 for the MESMERIZE!!

I HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD THE LAST WEEK TO GET THIS OUT TO YOU ALL AS A X-MAS PRESENT HERE YOU GO...
This is a port that I really like in all respects its Cynaogen 6.0 that I ported to the MESMERIZE it has a BLUE and BLACK splash/moon Theme. This is just the first of many to come from me....I found it here>http://luna.anthemofthesun.com/
This is based on JT's Clean Rom and has no Kernel attached you will not loose anything you have installed and AS ALWAYS DO A NAN-DROID BACKUP FIRST BEFORE YOU FLASH...This has only been tested on a voodoo kernel and has not had any issues if you find any please let me know ASAP as I have tested everything I can...
IMPORTANT>12/24/10: MAY BE AN ISSUE GOING FROM PICK-N-PACK TO THESE I WILL SEE FOR NOW FLASH CLEAN 2 AND THEN VOODOO IF YOU ARE RUNNING VOODOO AND REBOOT THEN FLASH THIS AS IT IS BUILT OFF OF THE CLEAN ROM>>>IF YOU ARE NONVOODOO AND PICK-N-PACK JUST FLASH CLEAN 2 AND REBOOT AND THEN FLASH THIS AS I KNOW THIS WORKS AND FIRST BOOT TAKES A MIN. BE PATIENT HANGS FOR A MIN OR MORE MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT BETWEEN FLASHES....IF YOU ARE VOODOO YOU HAVE TO FLASH KERNEL OVER TOP OF CLEAN 2 BECAUSE THAT ONE HAS A NONVOODOO IN IT AND WILL MESS WITH YA IF YOU DONT YOU CAN DO THOSE 2 AT SAME TIME JUST DO THE KERNEL LAST AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO DISABLE LAG FIX AND YOU WILL BE FINE THAT WAY....THIS IS ONLY IF YOU ARE PICK-N-PACK THAT THIS APPLIES FOR NOW TO BE SAFE......UPDATE>12/25/10: PICK-N-PACK IS OK TO USE BUT EVERYTHING ABOUT THE FLASHING OF A NONVOODOO OVER VOODOO STILL AND ALWAYS WILL APPLY.
INSTALL NOTE:TO PUT ON SD AND FLASH THRU CLOCKWORK-MOD RECOVERY NOT ROM MANAGER....DO A DALVIK CACHE WIPE AND THAT IT FLASH FROM SD AND REBOOT...FIRST BOOT TAKES A MIN OTHERS WILL BE NORMAL...

While they're fixing it I'm using a different theme/ROM.
My signature gives links. I love this theme (in this thread) I just want the MMS to work. I send 10-20 pics a day, so I kinda need it.

This is not a rom, just a theme.

Tried to boot to this ROM...got to the splash screen and hung there forever....looked like it was in a boot loop. Tried flashing it twice...same thing.

Lesson learned.

This is not true, the SECOND link the OP gave is a .ZIP that includes a fully functioning ROM that is themed as shown in ADW. I just flashed this onto my new mesmerize last night and it worked wonderfully (after a learning process that I'll detail below). you may have clicked the first link that simply links to the page about the "luna theme" itself
I'd like to share an experience I had last night trying this process so that others may be informed prior to trying this.
I rooted my phone with Z4 root a few days ago, and also installed the Voodoo kernel with the lag fix. This was all I had done to the phone prior to finding this post and deciding to try out the ROM.
First attempt I followed the instructions well but for whatever reason I completely forgot to disable the lag fix and clearing the cache, so I went right into recovery mode and tried installing this .ZIP from the SD card.
The process was successful so I rebooted. I had the problem i4get75 has, it hung on the splash screen forever, and I instinctively "freaked out", pulled the battery and reverted back to my stock rom (using recovery).
Going back through the instructions I knew right away what I did and so I went ahead and disabled the lagfix through recovery mode (go to Voodoo, then disable) Then after reboot i again skipped a step and went straight to flashing again, after that succeeded I realised i forgot to wipe the cache so I went ahead and cleared the cache and flashed it one last time.
After that the phone booted, hung on the samsung screen for a few mins, then like magic the beautiful luna themed ADW popped up.
For some reason when I reverted back through recovery though, after boot i was missing many apps including the marketplace and my file manager, I'm not sure how this happened but thank god you had a file manager in your rom or I'm not sure how i would have gotten market and my other apps back on there (I'm really new to flashing and working with android, my first smartphone was the Motorola Q, didn't have this problem). In the end I was able to reinstall titanium backup from my SD card and restored them from there since the phone kept the backups
Many thanks to androidman78 and JT and all others involved for your time and talent!

I guess why I feel that this is just a Theme and not a ROM is that when I finally got it working I was seeing all my other apps and even my same wallpaper I had before the flash. To me, that's not a ROM but just a theme.

#1 - did you download the FULL rom? or just a theme
#2 - did you do a FULL wipe? if not then you need to do it right... do a full wipe then flash the rom, not the theme.

ClockworkMod Recovery [For Motorola Triumph]

Wondering if we can get any port help on this from anybody skilled in this area??? The phone is going to have a great community and growing in numbers as we speak. We already have people wanting to dev for the phone, but we need a custom recovery. Now we dont know if the phone is encrypted locked bootloader but it doest ship stock android froyo 2.2.2 so maybe its just locked? I have read that you can get to the bootloader by just vol down + power button combo hold.
Here's some info on the phone:

Yea issac87 brought magic to the ascend! If we can get what he needs we should be having a CWM port, and then a stock odex rooted rom with tweaks!

YouTube Vid of Guy Loading CWM on His Triumph
Here's a video of a guy who loaded CWM on his Triumph. Not sure if the features work, but it shows that it can be booted into. What do you guys think?
youtube(dot)com/watch?v=1H0KMnVy26Y He has a link to the recovery file. Going to give this a shot in a bit.
Edit: Sorry, I know noobs aren't allowed links till the 8th post but I felt this might carry some weight for this discussion =P

Results
So, I successfully loaded and booted into CWM v4.0.0.9. I was able to successfully complete a system backup. I would test out a ROM, however I'm not aware of any ROMs for the Triumph yet. I tried to mount /storage, nothing happened. Tried to mount USB storage, got the following error:
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
Also, I have the following two questions:
1) After my first boot into CWM, I saw the following below the menu options:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
2) During my backup, the following was displayed:
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Thoughts?

1. I think its normal when its still unofficial n has some few features not yet working. but other working features seems going normal with that error
2. its because your sdcard not partitioned into sd-ext for app2sd, but i think its not necessary to app2sd in this phone

the bulk of my backup is the data partition which was over 400mb. i extracted it and it looks to include dalvik cache so you might try clearing your dalvik before doing a backup. i dont know why youre over 1 gig tho, unless you have like 700+mb of apps installed

Got it. Thanks for the link to the update!

Any reason this stuff isn't in the android development section of the triumph forum? It's a ghost town over there. CWM has been around for a while for the triumph, but still hasn't made an appearance in the android development subsection. I thought posting the CWM files/how to would be a good first step, and posting a disclaimer listing the known non-working portions. That way potential devs browsing will find/see it, and hopefully participate.
I didn't want to overstep my boundaries.

There's nothing to post in the development because theres no development going on! cm7 not fully fuctional, Motorola hasnt released sources(and they havent gave a ET) And people are having problems with the triumph and people are being skeptical about buying this device. I got one and had the battery fry my internals and phone wouldnt even turn on! So im going to wait and see what the triumph progress.

I understand you're frustrated by your situation. However, there is development going on, it's just not at XDA. This device is still very new. And you're right - things will move quicker when the source is released by motorola.

When i meant no development having isaac work on cm7 is great work but thats the ONLY thing going on at the moment! Even any other triumph forum you go the phone hasnt boom because of motorola not releasing sources! NO sources, NO development, NO FULLY working cm7(radio)
As far as my situation not bashing the phone, im actually waiting til all their first shipment are gone and second round of shipment comes probably within the next month!

[ROM] MIUI-2.8.17 JB Grouper v0.1 Alpha By Jmotyka and DroidVicious

[ROM]MIUI-2.8.17 JB Grouper v0.1 Alpha By Jmotyka and Droid_Vicious!
EDIT: This is going to be a co-development by me and droid_vicious. He is working his magic now.
Let me introduce myself. I'm jmotyka and im no developer, i am a graphic designer and android themer/enthusiast. I used to be a well known themer for the Nexus One and worked along side of Manup456. I have been out of the theming and developing seen for a while until now, i am very rusty. This is my first step into the android world again. I have many friends/devs that will help out when needed. I am a very busy man i dont have much time to develop, so please bare with me if i go on a multi-day hiatus. This rom is not and will not be my priority. I expect people to show some respect to me and others in this thread. If there is any sign of flamage in this thread rom development will immediately be halted and removed.
Credits:
1. MIUI & CyanogenMod Development Teams
2. Droid_Vicious For the inspiration and being an all around good friend
3. Google For making this possible
4.BAMF for the Grouper Gapps.
Links (do not mirror):
Click Here For Rom Download
Click Here For Grouper Gapps
Instructions:
1. Copy the rom - to SD Card
2. Boot into CWM and do a backup of your current rom
3. Flash the rom
4. Skip recovery flash!(after flashing the rom CWM will prompt you with the option to flash or skip. SKIP!!!!
5. Flash Grouper Gapps
6. Wipe Data
7. Reboot and DERP
Working:
Everything as far as i can tell.
Not Working:
Dont know yet, but everything seems to be fine as of right now
TODO List:
1; Remove Recovery
2. Finish English Translations
3. Add Reboot Menu
4. Add Custom Kernel
5. Find the best DPI for the rom and device.
Notes:
This rom actually comes from china. The only thing i did was change some build.prop stuff to get it functioning. To start off for some odd reason who ever developed the rom in china left the DPI to 310 and it looked horrible, so i set it to 213 which is the groupers standard dpi, it looked much better but the drop down notification window was getting cut off, so i decided to set it to 240 which looks great IMHO. This is by far not the final product. I am by no means a skilled developer but i am a tinkerer and if i run into issues usually i can fix them.
Important Notes
1)This rom for what ever reason has a recovery baked in. I recommend running cwm because cwm will let you SKIP the recovery flashing. I have not had time to remove this yet but i will. DONT ACCEPT THE RECOVERY FLASH BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF ITS OK OR NOT. I don't see why it would be a problem because this rom was developed for the N7.
2)I AM NOT TO BLAME IF YOU FLASH THIS AND YOU NEXUS 7 BLOWS UP. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

What does that mean? Is that a good or bad thing? Screenshot please?
Also I noticed in the first screenshot it says "No service" at the top left corner. Does it always say that? Can that be removed and/or edited? Thanks!
I am kind of reluctant to root my Nexus 7 because I don't know if I can still receive official Google updates on Android if I root it or if I can even unroot it.

Sure
Fills the screen but does not overlap.
Here's a screen of the keyboard.
Regarding your other concerns I would say go ahead and root. With the toolkits available it is very easy to flash back to stock, unroot, and relock the bootloader if needed.

Thanks! I'm going to take a deep breath, root my Nexus 7 now and flash MIUI

Working on v0.2 right now. It will have the recovery removed. And it will be in english by default. Super user will replace permission manager. Hold tight.

Obviously you can't text or use phone so don't even try, but other than that every thing will be gravy.
Also be sure to thank droidvicious for working on a ROM that he doesn't even have a device for.

Thanks for the help. I now have English.
But, I think I lost root.Rom manager hangs with error as does Titanium. I tried to get back to cwm but for the life of me I cannot boot back into it. If I could I would fix permissions there. But again. I may have lost root?
Fixed. Went to permission mgr and all seems to be good again.

OMG you are the most amazing person every. I love you (No Homo)
If you need help with something such as default language english and all that stuff i can help out. Also you can change the size to stock by modding the services.jar and androidpolicy.jar file. Im going to expiriment a bit, thanks so much again.
Edit
You are so amazing, i noticed you are using mediafire? If you want the next build you can send it to me and i can upload it to my site for direct download links. I have unlimited bandwidth so its no problem for me.

thanks for creating a v0.2 so efficiently, the recovery issue has been driving me crazy the past few hours!

Hyperrunner is here? If he starts helping out with this ROM, I might forget all my issues with MIUI and run this exclusively! I'm definitely gonna be keeping a close eye on this thread

[Discussion] The Itch *Flashaholic*

So tell me guys, what do you do when you guys get the "itch" of flashing a new ROM?
I try to resist of flashing a new ROM every single day, so what I do to suppress this itch is I take my friends phone and flash a ROM on it

Delete xda app for a week

I flash if I wanna flash, have a beer if I want a beer, load a bowl if I wanna puff, swear if I wanna swear. I could go on but you get the idea. If you wanna do it just do it. But I do like the idea of flashing other peoples phones. I could triple my flashing rate. lol

I am quite satisfied with the latest CM9 so I don't flash unless it is an update.

I find myself going back to AOKP more often than not because it suites my taste and style. But by flashing other things I can honestly say that it's my preference. To me it's a way of eliminating ignorance.

That's me. I like Remics. I like the touchwiz interface and the Samsung feel to it. Others don't, that's their choice, but I do. I keep trying new ROM's but don't like the interface or launcher or look of it and go back to Remics everytime.

So tell me guys, what do you do when you guys get the "itch" of flashing a new ROM?
I try to resist of flashing a new ROM every single day, so what I do to suppress this itch is I take my friends phone and flash a ROM on it

If you guys are flashing all the time, do you actually *use* your phones?
Just curious. Takes me a couple of hours to get everything back the way I had it... the OP sounds like he wants to flash something every day. lol
My wife's phone I rooted and removed most of the bloatware and that's all she wants me to do and that's all *I* want to do to it.

You know I think Blue Star ointment will cure most itches you can get.

Usually the best thing in this case is to have a daily phone and a second phone to do the flashing on. Once I found a favorite rom that works best for me I stop flashing frequently except updates of the rom. It's also easier when you have a rom that support multiple devices that you own.

uh oh. I think I just bricked my m8

So, I ran firewater and wanted to get to recovery. I ran the adb command "adb boot recovery" and I get a screen with a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point in the middle. Is there a way out of this?
Please help.

That's just the stock recovery. Hold the power button down until the device reboots.

I held vol up and power and got out of it. phew. thx

i was gonna damn already :silly:

man, people REALLY need to understand what a BRICK is...

No, I understand what a brick is, i just haven't seen this screen before. What i didn't understand was that this is what Verizon's stock recovery looks like.

Yeah yeah don't give this guy hell for being afraid of bricking his brand new m8. Mod remove this pls

I'm not giving him hell..
I just feel if you are going to risk bricking your phone, you should at least know what the stock recovery looks like so we don't get cluttered with threads about people thinking they "bricked" their phone when it is on....
a brick means just that, it's a brick.
doesn't turn on, doesn't charge, notta.
I am glad the OP got his phone working though.
I just feel that S-OFF is very dangerous and I think people need to do some more research before diving in.. If you can't tell the difference between a stock recovery and a brick.. well - IMHO you shouldn't be S-OFF yet.
I am entitled to my opinion. But in no way was I giving him hell nor looking down on him, he created the thread, I gave an opinion; this is a forum after all.

I agree with you. Why do you guys think its called a "brick"?! If someone does not understand basic concepts like adb, flashing, and bricks, they should not be trying to s-off their phone.

i agree with that too. so many noobs

To many noobs.. We were all once. Been doing this for a few years. Just tried to upload a CWM backup and couldn't. Didn't realize I had to zip it first. I've done things much more complicated but couldn't do that. We'll all be noobs at something, no matter what. XDA is for noobs as much as for anyone else. Noob.. What a funny word anyway lol.

Friend of mine was trying to revert back to stock ROM and he just deleted everything on advanced wipe on TWRP. Says no OS installed. Tried everything, but can't find a RUU for a sprint non-harman edition M8.

Why are they even called bricks
Phones don't really resemble bricks anymore. They're more like slabs.
Guys I think I slabbed my phone
Has a nice ring to it

No sir, you didn't slab your phone if it still has a ring to it.

knowing I didn't brick my phone,
I can't get into any recovery. when I press the volume up and power, I get the white HTC splash screen for a second then black.
I was trying to restore a nandroid from TWRP.
