[ROM]Kang_Clam(KANG) CM7 to AOSP revert {2.3.7}

First and foremost...Anything you read or flash from here I am not responsible for. If your kitten dies tomorrow or your phone eats your face in your sleep it is not my problem. You should have fed them better. If your phone adjusts itself to paperweight mode, well it was a long time coming for that rock to give up. It is not my fault. You shouldn't have dug the root out from under that rock.
I named this project Kang Clam, simply because to me it is a learning experience so everything is just opening up to me. A clam opens slowly in unfamiliar territory and that is the same as what is going for me. I am still trying to figure it out.
I am by no means a developer. This is just a project I started as a learning experience. The main reason I started this is because there is no way to make an AOSP rom off of the OTA files we where given from LG and NVIDIA. So I decided for a learning curve to work from known working CM7.2 files back to AOSP.
Updates will not be fast nor steady, because like I said I am still learning. I will continue to better the rom but at my own pace. Accept that or do not flash it and do not ***** if there is a problem. BUT if you do find a problem I do not mention please report it so I can trouble shoot it.
So, I decided to make a project similar to faux's but I don't know much. So I decided to reverse engineer cm7 code to revert it to AOSP. Progress will be slow because I am doing this for the simple fact of learning. But, what I have done so far is really stable so I decided to release it.
I will not accept requests simply because what i am doing is for my benefit and to learn. So basically this is my rom for me to update as I will. My sole intentions is to revert cm7 code back to aosp or as close as i can get it. The only reason I am releasing it is because, I myself like AOSP and everything that comes with it. And because I want to learn the just of what it takes to make it work. I do realize that most of what it takes to work comes with patches from Code Aurora Forums and numerous other places. And will remove most CM functions.
But, regardless this is my own personal project to revert things back to AOSP. I will work off of the same base as I have been using, because everything is working. If something gets broken then I will imply the patches necessary to fix it.
I fully intend to remove alot of cm7 functions. Including theme chooser, cm settings and many other cm7 features. Simply because i am learning and want to see if i can make it work without all that. I want to revert cm7 to AOSP so that is what I push towards, if it gets removed and you dont like it then flash an old version or flash cm7!
This does not include ANY google apps so you must flash the latest version of google apps the same as you would do with any CyanogenMod ROM!
But as of right now most of all of the cm7 features are still working.
What I have done so far:
Reverted System UI to AOSP
Reverted MOST apps to AOSP
Added Fugu Tweaks 4.0
Added some build.prop and init.d tweaks
Incorporated Morfic's latest and greatest T15 kernel
And a few other framework and system tweaks and reverts. I am no pro so bare with me. Updates will be slow, if you dont like it then move on to another rom...
Installation Instructions:
1.) Reboot into CWM Recovery
2.) Wipe data/factory reset
3.) Go to advanced>Wipe dalvik cache
4.) Go to mounts and format /system
5.) Install the desired ROM
6.) Reboot to enable WiFi
7.) Reboot to recovery and install gapps.
THERE IS NO GOOGLE APPS INSTALLED IN THIS ROM YOU MUST INSTALL GAPPS LIKE ANY CM7 [email protected]
There is add-ons. That I will be posting as well, for those who may want them. If I revert, I will also try to make an add on package to make things work, if I cant then oh well. Everything comes as is.
Thanks and credits to:
Morfic for his amazing kernel
Romanbb and Whitehawkx for everything I have learned and that they have helped me with in my times of distress
Faux123 for his original work of this project. I use it as a base.
The entire CyanogenMod team for their work
Code Aurora Forums for their work and patches.

I will post a flashable of the ics transition animations in the morning. As well as the systemui reverts. The aosp systemui panel that krylon360 posted WILL work with this, BUT if you connect usb it WILL force close systemui. Im trying to figure out why still....its a known issue. Like i said i will eventually make reverts....

I had wondered about that myself. Since i do not get 3g anywheres on any rom for my g2x. Only 4g thats still super slow (same speeds as using edge). Could be my area because their signal sucks around here. It seems like it treats all hspa as 4g icon wise. But not sure. I will look into more in the morning.

I personally think this ROM is much better than Eagleblood (HDMI works fine so far). However, cache partition should increase from 50MB to 100MB to avoid frustration (I got "insufficient storage" error when I tried to install 3 Angry Birds plus Opera Mobile and I have to use Root Explorer to delete these files there). Other than that, it works pretty well.

Awesome ROM. Found one bug. In CyanogenMod Settings, Interface Status bar tweeks doesn't work. Even after you make changes like battery percentage, it doesnt save the changes.

Oh ok. Thanks. Request: can you leave the battery percentage or somehow have it in the rom?
Very smooth ROM and the animations are awesome. Better battery life than EB 2.3.7 too.

[Q] Samsung Infuse 4G official Gingerbread problems...

rookie here...hi everybody...
Anyone else missing live wallpapers after the update? I'm missing the water and beach, Was this normal? I knew about Angry Birds....but not this..
second my keyboard seems to be the same, what changes happened here ??
thanks for your help....
ruxxo

better text editing and word selection. smoothness enhancements, battery life improvement, and some speed optimizations. other than that a launcher that loops the home and app drawer screens and new overscroll effects (apple lawsuit)

Is anyone else experiencing laggier gaming? When I play 3D games like Asphalt or Modern Combat, the lag is awful after the update. I'm not totally surprised though, because I also experienced the lag phenomenon way back when I was on the Infused custom ROM. I wonder if it's something to do with Gingerbread. These makes ran smooth as butter on the stock Froyo ROM.
Loving everything else about the official update though.

I think you may need a reboot. if that doesn't work, you may need to back up your data and perform a factory reset.
other users have report this to clear up their lag.

Get advanced task manager from the market and force stop all of your apps before trying to play a game. It works for me. I use that and I do not have any lag what so ever.

I already had factory reset twice. The game lagging issue still persisted though. I got the advanced task killer and killed all my apps before running a game and it was a lot better (thanks!). I just find it interesting though that they ran smoother on Froyo. I wonder if Gingerbread manages the game running differently. It's almost like the games have less frames per second on Gingerbread (and I had the same thing on the Infused ROM as well).
On a side note, a third of my music library is now unknown... They were all perfectly labeled before. Apparently the same thing happened to a lot of Atrix users when they did their official Gingerbread update. Some of them said the problem went away on its own after a free days, so I guess I'll see how it goes.
Still loving everything else about the update though

hmmm..interesting..is your music on the phone itself or the microSD card?
there may have been some recognition issue.
you can try to take out the card if you have it on the microsd card.
boot back up.
use tibu or app manager and clear out the music data and cache
power off, and reinsert the card.
power on to see if it comes back.
if you dont have a microsd in, you can try to flush the data and cache from music app and force a new search...
i'm kinda unilateral one track minded..i have taken off useless apps data hogs and widgets off my phone. I usually dont have much running in the background esp live wp, so i dont' have lag issues.
mtease1 maybe used to more cluttered stuff, so he was better to help you with this
having said that, better programs or games, if they know that they will use more cpu capacity, should have disable those first. it is possible duel cores or tablets with more computing power will not have these issues...your battery would just drain faster.

Thanks! I'll see if that works (all of music is on the external 32 GB, but there was never an issue on Froyo and I also factory reset twice on Gingerbread, so I would imagine the phone had already had two chances to recognize it afresh :/).
Regardless, I'm still a happy child lol no more obsession over an official update

I've noticed that all of a sudden after my GB update, when i press the side lock/unlock button, it will flash whatever was left on the screen before i locked it. It only flashes for about a half of a second, but enough to see what i was doing. For instance, if i had personal information on the screen when i locked it, i can see it for a half of a second when i press the unlock button. And after that initial flash, it then prompts me for my pin/passcode and hides the screen.
Anyone else seeing this?

Please let us know if that worked.
the factory reset in cwm is not the same as the factory reset in /settings/privacy/reset...the latter one completely erases everything...everything...at least in froyo anyway.

Yes same thing here ... I also thought GB was suppose to shut the screen off like a old TV kinda how it goes off in the middle, hard to explain lol

HTC have done it wrong

My wife uses this phone and has noticed the following problems:
1. Email client couldn't save picture attachment
2. The camera produces a lens fish bubble type effect
I'm considering a custom rom now to fix these issues but she likes sense and is used to it coming from desire... so I'm not sure. I also don't want to have a custom rom that needs regular updates to solve little problems like the ones we already have

I've also had no trouble saving attachments or with my picture quality. I saved a few PDFs yesterday without trouble. However, I did notice they would hang around 99% and it felt like they weren't going to finish downloading, but they finished in the background within a minute or so.

Are you guys talking about Gmail or email client. This was using the email client I had a look u can open attachment but no where to press save
PS do you also notice the bubble effect with the lense

If I'm not mistaken, by default the option chosen is not to download attachments. Obviously this setting can be changed and it saves in the Downloads folder.

I'm not so sure.. if I designed a phone I certainly wouldn't design a flagship that has a much inferior flashlight and camera to a galaxy s2 and that's a much older model
I also think sense tends to degrade itself over its life cycle as it seems to produce more bugs with time. This was very true of her last phone the desire and that can't be user error as I have 7 friends and relatives who notice different things going wrong with that model too.

An inferior flashlight? What the hell are you smoking? Do you also realize that the device is made by HTC, whereas the Galaxy S II you speak about was made by Samsung, a completely un-related company? Sheesh.
Anyways, bottom line - if you don't like the phone, or aren't happy with it: go ****ing return it instead of posting on an enthusiast forum where you're doing nothing to add to the conversation.

Considering that you don't know how to save email attachment on your phone, you probably shouldn't be talking about designing a flagship phone, because it probably won't work. There's an entire thread dedicated to 1X camera photos and no one else is having the problem you're describing. Either you have a defective phone or you're bullshitting (for lack of picture).

I have tested the LED against my S2 and the S2 is so much brighter makes for much better night shots. I've also tested both in perfect lighting outdoors at a park experimenting with different focus modes and the S2 lens makes for a much better shot too. I'm not smoking anything I have both these model phones and have the capability to test for myself. Before you rubbish me... Until you have done the same your not an enthusiast your a fan boy.
I'm happy to back claims if necessary I have the stills.

Sounds like maybe your wife just doesn't know how to use it. So typical, blame the manufacturer for user errors.

User freaking error. Seriously.
There's a known problem with the camera, and that's oversaturation with stock settings. -1 to saturation levels and its all good.
There's 3 levels of flashlight.brightness btw, on par with my friends GS2 I have to test with.

Please explain in 10 posts or more.

Shouldn't this be in the Development areas or in the official thread?
I will say one thing about AOKP, I clean installed build 5 for the first time yesterday and absolutely loved the customization options compared to CM10. However, it seemed light years behind in terms of stability, speed and overall smoothness of the experience. Then as I was editing my navbar options to add like 7 icons, one of them deleted and I couldn't access the Navbar portion of the ROM options. It would keep force closing whenever I opened that settings area. Reboots and reflashes didn't help. So now I'm back to CM10 and appreciating the stability again.

Did you try an alternate kernel? I'm using the latest leankernel and I've been on the ROM only 24 hours give or take but haven't experienced a single FC on anything, bug with anything(Minus the low audio on video recording and a few minor graphical glitches), or a reboot. I tried the Tablet UI option and went to reboot and it got stuck on the boot animation, but after a battery pull booted fine with the Tablet UI. That was the only boot that I had issues with, the rest seem lightning fast compared to CM10.
Battery life on Release 5 is far superior than CM10 lately. I lost 6% overnight where with CM10 I usually lost 15+%.
I do have a sort of complaint tho. Altering the backlighting settings under Settings>Display>Automatic Backlight>Edit other levels it gives you a minimum of 20 under the screen option where I could have sworn CM10 was a minimum of 1. I'd prefer a lower # that way I could drop down the lighting severely in the dark to save my eyes and battery lol.
Granted I haven't been on it that long but this latest release seems just as buggy if not less than CM10 for me.
(I do want to add that I am a CM10 fan too... It's the ROM that I ALWAYS end up back on after giving other ones a shot. I'm thinking I'll stick with AOKP now tho)

I'm an admitted AOKP fanboy, but it is not as stable as CM10 yet. I've had a lot of random reboots - but typically only when I'm tweaking things. Under normal usage, it has behaved well. Gotta respect the unicorn.

I just realized, how can there be two official builds? There's already an official thread going and has been. Why waiting to start another?

For the auto brightness if you look one up from edit other levels it says Screen dim level which allows you to set minimum of 1.

BMC, if you're still watching this thread could you look into fixing the MMS issue? In particular one cannot send a picture without the quality being degraded horribly. I've had to switch back to GoSMS so I can send pics but I don't like all the services it runs.

Great question!
Anyone running it? Has it caught up to our 4.2 ROMs on here like Slim/Liquid/Carbon yet in terms of basic functionality? Build two had too many issues still.

Hey bmc, I noticed in your thread on rootz that in call volume adjustment was still listed as a bug.
I think that was fixed in cm10.1 around the time they switched to caf audio if you're trying to find the patch that fixed it.
I really want to try the auto hide navbar, just waiting for that volume fix.

funny thing is that we are using caf audio as well and still experience it, meaning that something else outside of the audio HAL seems to play a part as well. Still trying to track down what that part is and if any patch was missed for it. Also what I have done to compensate until it is fixed is I have increased the in call volume to be a reasonable level and usable. So although its not adjustable it's at a level that is decent enough for normal use.

[ROM][PORT] Intergalactic v2.7 [VRBLK3][3/6/2013]

Hello all, this is a port of stratatak7's ROM Intergalactic 2.7. I did not develop the ROM, I merely ported it from AT&T to work on our VZW devices. A special thanks to stratatak7 for letting me port the ROM and for all of the help with getting it to work perfectly, thanks to upndwn4par for the great porting guide over at the AT&T forums and his help with getting data to work, and xxsashixx for giving me a place to host the ROM. My dev skills are extremely limited, but I as well as stratatak7 will do our very best to answer any questions or assist you guys in any way.:laugh:
Below is the original OP for Intergalactic (which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969201 ) but modified slightly by myself to match our devices. ENJOY!

Note: Screenshots reflect the original AT&T variant of this ROM.
Information:
This is a stock-based ROM that I've made using VRBLK3 firmware for the VZW Galaxy S3. I've spent a lot of time developing this ROM making it nice and stable and using the tweaks I thought were the best for smoothness, battery life, and stability. This ROM uses a modified, optimized VRBLK3 kernel by me that includes support for init.d scripts and a few extra bells and whistles.
Video Review (by phonetechkid):

Many other tweaks...
ISSUES:​
You tell me!
Installation Instructions:​
Download ROM to SD card
Reboot into recovery
Do a factory reset
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Wipe system
Flash Rom (This process may take a minute or two)
Wipe cache and dalvik cache again just to be safe
Reboot and enjoy
Post Installation Instructions:​
It is HIGHLY suggested that you keep ALL Google Now cards off, verify that you are not updating your location with Google Maps (in Maps settings menu). Remember, Google Now automatically turns on your location settings to update through Google Maps, so after enabling Google Now, unless you want your location on all the time, go to Google Maps and turn it off. Your battery will thank you even more.
To allow custom boot animations follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35825846#post35825846
If you get a Google account sign-in error after installing, there is an easy fix. Go to Menu > Settings > Accounts and Sync. Please REMOVE your current Google account and then add it again. I do not know why this happens to some people, but it doesn't seem to be ROM related. It happens on several devices including the Nexus. Removing and then re-adding your account again fixes this problem.

The screenshots in the OP are exactly what the ROM looks like, except the baseband info and what not is all Verizon, it will say Verizon Wireless instead of No SIM.

Thank you. I really wish xda had the functionality it should have. The screenies wouldn't show. Always have to open it in the browser.

It's no problem, I have that same issue.

whats intergalactic about it, besides the wallpaper?
FYI to fix your mms issues just swap out the SECmms.apk from a functioal rooted rom, its not an issue with ports.

The idea was to start and create the best base possible to modify. Currently we are designing a true Intergalactic theme as the base is now essentially bug free. Once the design is finished and tested it will be released. Not to mention it is strictly a Galaxy phone rom as of right now. It is just a name. Function always comes first in my book. Now that it has been established, full, rather than partial theming will be completed hopefully soon. Voltage says the ROM works well so that's what is priority to me.
And thank you for your suggestion for secmms. I spoke with upndwn4par (Graviton) and asked him if that would work but we weren't sure. I don't own a Verizon phone, I work on the AT&T builds so it is hard for me to test. Voltage526, however, does own a VZW S3 so he does all the porting, testing, and soon some graphics design to make everything look excellent. Everything by me, has to be done blind. This ROM is kind of my baby. I've put countless hours into making it run well. I hope it runs as well on VZW as it does the i747.

Absolutely! Please do keep an eye out. More intense theming takes a bit of time and I'm a busy student, however, I like to update regularly. I actually have a performance update in the works for the i747 version which will carry over. I need to test more and then it will be ready for release. For now, I hope the ROM is enjoyed as much here as it is for the i747. I've done countless hours of "behind the scenes" work.

I will be putting a build up with the updated SecMms.apk here in a bit. Unfortunately my USB transfer cable just stopped working so I have to use AirDroid to transfer which is a bit slower.

Did you try the VZW texting app to see if it worked? I was under the impression that that trick only worked for Sprint ports.
And instead of posting a completely new build, you could just post a flashable zip like this one.

I could, but I would much rather prefer that the ROM was fully functional right out of the box, so to speak. I have MMS working fine now, uploading now.
