TEAM ACID (Androdema Crew in Development)(myslef, Raverx3x, madfitter, Joedeveloper and Bl4ckphenix) is proud to present "I Cant Believe Its Not Butter" Rom
The Goal of this rom:
This was made for anyone really who likes a stock smooth rom, but i wanted to really make this rom for any noobs who were uncomfortable trying to do any mods by themselves, this rom has every mod known to the sgs4g community put into it
MY TEAM AND MYSELF TRIED TO MAKE THIS ROM THE BEST, SMOOTHEST, MOST STABLE, LONGEST LASTING ROM KNOWN TO THE SGS4G COMMUNITY
Whats in this?
Based off Drhonks kd1 deodexed
TW 4.5
Some stuff from krylons black ice
bali 3.3 UV
kf2 modem
init.d tweaks(juwes ramscript)
fota
fugu tweaks
Modified build.prop(special)
FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
download the rom
put it onto your sdcard
go into CWM
wipe everything
(you might have to flash ext4 converter before the rom, MIGHT!)
flash rom
reboot recovery
enable voodoo
reboot
NOTE: IF YOU DONT HAVE RED CWM THEN YOUR MOUNTS NEED TO BE
UNMOUNT
MOUNT
MOUNT
UNMOUNT
in mounts and storage
UPDATE: The rom runs extrememly smooth on all partitions as ext4 so below you will see i uploaded drhonks bali 3.3 dont be afraid to use it, just enable voodoo lagfix and ext4 on system. Your quad scores will lower but the performnace MIGHT be better
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I BRING YOU i cant believe its not butter rom:
Be sure to give the rom a good 10 to 20 minutes to cook up and become buttery smooth
ICBINB: http://www.mediafire.com/file/lu4gu25ki84319g/ICBINB.zip
Where can i get the amazing theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168234
screen shots below show the theme with the rom
FOR BETTER BATTERY LIFE: the rom already should give you great battery life due to some mods and tweaks but here is a short guide to achieve even GREATER battery life but still have a silky smooth feeling.
UPDATE NEW SETTINGS
Grab Tegrak OC and use these settings
FREQUENCY-CORE VOLTAGE-INTERNAL VOLTAGE
1000-1150-1075 level 0
800-1050-1050 level 1
400-925-1025 level2
100-800-950 level 4
FOR extra buttery smoothness with good battery life just change your level 0 1000 frequency to 1200 the core voltage to 1225 and internal 1100 leave all the other levels the same as ^
conservative governor set 100-1000
This is the Final release of ICBINB, please enjoy

thanks brotha ill be sure to add it in!
First and foremost, thank you for contributing!!
Okay... I just said I wouldn't be flashing any more roms for a while, considering I'm running on a restored backup now. Black Ice sure knock the wind out of me. But this is tempting!
before I do... Should I delete my INIT.D file or will it be over written?
Would it make any difference to Odin back to stock? Did you update the link with tw (I'd like to limit the flashes I have to endure... Once again thanks to Black Ice though worth the pain)?
Once again thank you!!

Thank you for the link, and one other question, will rooting/flashing it affect the way I have my phone set up and keeping all of my stuff? Like is it restoring my phone?
I would say go for the legendary cyanogen mod first. See the power of android first, realize what aspects are important to you, then maybe try a different rom. Or just stay with CM like so many 100s of thousands of others

1. Changing roms wipe your phone? 2. Whats CM?
EDIT---
Dumb question('s), question has been revised in the first post.
Here's a quick glossary:
ROM: essentially an operating system for the phone. CM7, Miui, Weapon, Eaglesblood, are all ROMs.
Recovery: Recovery mode, accessed by holding power and volume-down while booting up the device. Most notible for ClockworkMod Recovery (abbreviated CWM), a custom recovery mode that lets you do lots of modding-related things.
Wipe: Formatting various parts of the phone's memory, necessary when installing new things. For a run-of-the-mill flash (anything other than a new ROM) just wipe Cache and Dalvik, the latter is under the Advanced option in CWM. For a new ROM, do the above but also wipe Data (factory reset) and System (under Mounts and Partitions in CWM)
Kernel: In the context of phones, this is a system change that lets you undervolt and/or overclock the CPU. Lets you save battery and increase performance respectively.
NVFlash: A tool used to flash CWM onto the phone.
Root: Access to the entire phone's system as opposed to being locked out to part of it as is the default. Lets you run special Root-only apps.
The Android Development board here is pretty definitive as far as roms go, the only significant one not hosted here is Whitehawkx's MIUI port which IMO is better than the one here.

The help is greatly appreciated, I picked some of that up just spending an hour reading up on wiki and android and surfing the threads, but again thank you.
My revised question still stands, what is the BEST ROM out there if there is one, and what is the BEST kernel out there if there is one.

That's like asking what is the best ice cream. Its all a preference. Cyanogenmod is the most popular rom for android and it cones with a kernel. Now try it already.

For me the stability of the phone is the most important, so the appearance of it will come second. I am using a rooted build of gingerbread 2.3.3 and so far it has been working flawlessly, my phone before I flashed it with the rooted ROM gave me like at least 1 problem a day, so far I am clear and it has almost been 24hr. If it stays its course I am not looking into anymore ROM's, if it does show the same signs I will search for the next best ROM.
But again, I appreciate your input, I am keeping an eye on the ROM you named and a few other, cheers
If you need A2DP then go with Weapon, it's based on 2.3.3 and everything works great.

What is A2DP?
a2dp is the ability to stream bluetooth in stero without it music over bluetooth is a no go but you can still use BT for phone calls it will only be in mono. You can still use your phone for music but you have to use this thing called a wire I dont know apparently back in the day you had to use this wire to listen to music throught headphones and speakers. Strange right? Anyway all ROMS that are not 2.3.3 based or 2.2.2 based Like CM7 or eaglesblood that are 2.3.5 do not have A2DP it has something to do with Nivida not releasing the drivers or something like that. It is ashames because Eaglesblood 1.08 is the best ROM ever but it will never be finished same as cm7 till Nivdia starts cooperating. It really was hard going back to wired headphones but eaglesblood is definitly worth it. Hope this helps

It's cool, I have the same question.
This ROM is based off of kwes's Rooted Stock v21y ROM plus a few tweaks here or there. In the screenshots are the slightly modified Arc'd theme and I added my Touch of ICS theme which also has the CRT off animation.
Features added by kwes1020:
v21y 2.3.4 update
Root -unsecured boot.img
init.d support
deodexed (was already that way in the update)
zipaligned
Little tweaks by me:
Increased VM heap size to 64mb
Added a few tweaks to build.prop
LED lights will now be on the lowest brightness at bootup (thanks to lotherius's script)
Changed SD read-ahead speed to 2048
Removed bloatware that 90% of people don't use
Deleted gallery3d and replaced with quickpic (MUCH better)
HOW TO INSTALL: (Taken from Kwes1020's original thread)
To install:
1. Reboot into cwm
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Go to advanced>wipe dalvik cache
4. Go to mounts and storage>format /system.
5. Go to install zip from SD card.
6. Install the zip and reboot.
You can also dirty flash this on top of kwes1020's rooted stock ROM, but make sure you still reboot once before applying the theme!!
HOW TO INSTALL EDITED ARC'D THEME: (has to be done this way)
You MUST first go through the initial setup screen
Boot back into CWM
Flash theme
Reboot
Once again on installing the theme... first format system/factory reset, then flash the buruROM, reboot, go through the initial setup, then go back into cwm, and flash the theme.
You can also do a dirty flash of this ROM over the stock 2.3.4 ROM as long as it's the one kwes has posted.
Will you see a performance increase?
Eh, probably not? I mean maybe... but nothing too big I don't think. This is mainly for me just to do something when I have free time... and also for some of you crack-flashers that have this to hold onto until kwes finishes/releases his ROM.
DOWNLOAD BuROM v0.2.
NOTES:
I recommend using the Touch of ICS theme/CRT off animation theme just because it uses the original number of files from stock instead of UOT Kitchen adding a crap-load that aren't necessary... MAYBE it'll be a speed increase.
One bug I've noticed is the charging animation will always show you having like 10% battery but don't worry, you're phone IS CHARGING and nothing is wrong lol... that's the only bug I've noticed so far, oh and that the battery is in increments of 5%.
Link changed to Google Drive instead of Media Fire and I decided that BuROM is the best name lol.
Reserved just in case...
And also, I couldn't think of a neat name (like bionix, or eagle's blood, or tsugi) for the ROM... so just did something generic. I'm bad with making up names.
pretty cool that you are learning a lot so quickly! I've been thinking of going to 2.3.4 again... maybe after I buy a bunch of spare batteries for the phone. Good job though Buru.

Have no idea what google drive is... googled it, love it, installing it and going to upload and update the OP ;p.
Also, how I found out how to get stuff from mediafire.com through the phone is getting Boat Browser, setting user agent to firefox, then it should work. If it saves as a .txt then just rename it to .zip.

Burom is a winner for a name in my book. Quick question: I installed and put your modded theme on it. Now I get no notification area. Tried booting into clockword and deleteing cache, and dalvik but no dice. Do I need to reinstall again? I'm guessing yes. Spent the morning testing cm9 with Harsh's kernel(no dice) and reset to your rom, so my rom switchingis dragging.

hi guys,
first off all i want so say that i am a newbie... but i know that there isnt a perfect rom or a best rom, to save me some time i need your advice based on your experience.
a few days ago i rooted my p500, and i tried 3/4 different roms with 4.1.x android but with normal use, battery dont last long, only 10/11h... with official lg rom (android 2.3.3) it last 24h...
so, with your experience , what rom should i try? i dont care about design, only battery life... should i go back to official 2.3.3 android? note that i dont care if i dont have last android version...
another issue is the internal memory, before i rooted p500 i had to delete apps to install another ones. now the phone is rooted, with link2sd app i will have "more" internal memory so any rom is good in this aspect, is this correct?
thank you guys in advance, for sharing your experience
You know that there isnt best rom or perfect rom but still you keep asking....Search forums for good roms just like many others did.
Anyway if you want good battery life then stick with GB based roms.
gingersnap (android 2.3) ia very good and stable and has an option to install everything in the sd card

From all the rom's i have played with the 2 rom's with good battery life are icysnap 1.6 and gingerbreak. Icysnap 2 seems to have lot a lot of battery life. Also for icysnap 1.6 you have to partition the sd card and execute a script to use more of the sd card as internal space.
Unfortunantly i have not yet seen a JB rom that doesn't absolutely burn through battery. I am guessing that the JB os runs a lot more stuff in the background or the processes take a lot more computing power. This is just speculation by me though i know very little about androids other than how to root and flash rom's and even at that i used super one click to root this thing.
For the first flashable stock ROM for this device CLICK HERE
UPDATED
This is the first working flashable ROM for this phone that I am aware of.
Thanks to @shifattk and @FitAmp for the overclock
Thanks to @Restl3ss, who is working on a rooted and overclocked, otherwise bone stock ROM
^^^Used boot.img from the above mentioned
Based off stock 4.0.4.
Rooted
BusyBox
Overclocked to 1000mhz
Root Browser
New Launcher
Apollo Music
Default Ringtone: Crank
Bloat Removed
Theme Changes
Zipaligned
Many more changes to come!
Stable
Working and tested.
Flashing instructions:
1. Use CWM 6.0.3.1 (get it here, flash with Odin)
2. WIPE DATA/CACHE
3. Disable signature verification (signed version to come)
4. Flash
5. Wipe Dalvik.
6. Reboot
7. After initial setup, hit menu, go into preferences, scroll down and hit restart launcher. The default preferences have been modded for great performance, but don't auto load. After launcher restart, default preferences stay permanent, you only have to do it after first boot. Or change them to whatever you see fit!
Hit thanks if you enjoy!

As always, I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. Odin is not a toy, CWM Recovery is not a toy. Installing custom ROMS is relatively easy, but if you are unsure what you are doing, do some research on XDA or Google BEFORE you start messing around. This ROM is working and running on my S730M and I have had no problems so far.
OMG!
I've been waiting so long for somebody to make a custom rom for this phone! This is the first custom rom for this phone at last! I shall try it out and get back to you my good sir.
Sweet! Thanks :laugh::good:

Thanks! It was plagued with issues to start, just trying to get a flashable zip of the stock ROM together was a nightmare, and since there wasn't one any where on the internet to use as a base, well... had no choice but to make one. I'm going to release a non over clocked version as well. This one is still close to stock with a few mods and tweaks, so enjoy and I'll keep working away at bringing a true custom to this phone

Good Job!
I flashed it on my Discover today and it worked flawlessly.
By the way, I didn't make the OC script. It was FitAmp, the credits should go to him.
What launcher did you use? and good job on making a working rom for it, I had been messing around with trying to cook one in the kitchen app for the SS730G. I may give that one a shot with flashing this one, the stock rom on it is having issues anyways as when I try to shut it down it reboots 9 times out of 10.

As always, I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. Odin is not a toy, CWM Recovery is not a toy. Installing custom ROMS is relatively easy, but if you are unsure what you are doing, do some research on XDA or Google BEFORE you start messing around. This ROM is working and running on my S730M and I have had no problems so far.

Launcher pro, the only launcher I will use since I bought my first droid, runs clean and light. There's always the option to change to whatever launcher you like, for me, on this phone, runs the smoothest and that's what I'm going for here. Many changes still to come!
Kitchen is a great tool for learning AS LONG as you take a look at every change you implement with kitchen, in the update or updater script itself. The one thing about it is, that if you fully rely on kitchen, even if it does work, you won't learn a thing. All of the changes kitchen makes, can be made in terminal and text editor (Linux) to give you some hands on experience

I'm partial to the Nova Launcher myself, but I know what you mean. While the stock launcher is better than the standard Samsung Touchwiz crap, it definitely could use a speed increase on this phone.
I keep hoping and dreaming that someone will be able to port KitKat to this phone. I just flashed the current SlimKat rom on my Nexus S and I'm impressed with how fast the Google Now launcher performs on it. Maybe with this one overclocked to 1GHz and it having 512 megs of ram which I think is a little more than the Nexus S had it would make a different.

Kit Kat was built to run on 512mb, from everything I've heard it utilizes memory way better than any other version yet. I'm going to look at porting ROMs to this device, but one project at a time . It should be possible though. Even if I can port a stock 4.4.2 and start customizing from there, I think this phone would benefit tremendously from it, more so then newer more powerful devices.

I flashed my 730G with this rom, so far it looks good. I may switch the launcher to a different one but other than this it looks and appears to run fine. I can't test the radio at the moment as my net10 sim is cut down to nano size and I can't find my regular sim to nano sim adapter. I know I have one but finding it will be the fun part.
Double check the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS etc, make sure they turn on and work. They should as they work fine on the 730m, but you never know. I haven't seen the build.prop for the G

And check your root too. If root works than the rooting process is the same for both. Just open root browser and if it asks for superuser access you're golden. Plan to add terminal and cpu tuner in the next update.

The wi-fi and GPS appear to work fine. I still haven't been able to find my nano to regular size sim adapter. I wound up replacing launcher pro with nova launcher, and I also installed Titanium backup which I used to integrate the google keyboard. After I switched over to it, I froze the samsung keyboard which was a pain in the ass to have to work with. You may want to look into switching the keyboard if you have a preference in a future release. I really like the google keyboard myself.

I've considered switching the default launcher to nova, or I should say I've tried to. I've had issues with everything I've tried, except launcher pro, and lightning launcher. Lighting launcher is actually extremely fast and lightweight, I think the app itself is less the a MB, but its far different than your standard, familiar style of launcher so I opted out. I've tried solo, which is nearly identical to nova, except there's no pro version, all "pro" features are entirely free. I've also tried KK launcher, again very similar to nova, but all three of them will not load after the initial setup screen. Just don't work well as system apps. Loading them into the data partition should solve this problem, but they install with a file size of 0 MB, and again, won't actually load. All of them work fine when installed from the market, or from an apk, just haven't had luck packaging them with the ROM. I'll look into the keyboard thing. I prefer Swype, but given it's a paid app, I can't really incorporate it, and I don't want to just include a 30 day trial app in the ROM. I'll keep plucking away at it tho. Thanks a ton for your input

ok I just wiped it and went thru setup, it worked with no issues with the samsung keyboard and the nova launcher as system apps. maybe this will help for customizing the rom further? Also it might be a good idea to remove the updater app just to be safe. While I don't think that they would ever push out a rom update for the samsung S730M or S730G it might cause issues if someone who didn't know better used the updater app and downloaded a rom update. It may not be an issue, but I figured it was worth mentioning
I wanted to give an update. I was able to successfully use your rom as a base to make my own custom rom. I had to extract the updater script binary from yours to drop into the appropriate folder in my working folder. I'm going to do a little more fine tuning on what apps I want to include but I should have it ready to share soon.
Also, I finally found my adapter so I was able to read my Net10 sim in my S730G, other than it not having the correct APN which I had to manually enter It worked with no problems once I setup the APN, full signal and no issues with downloading anything once the APN was setup.
OK I've finished the 1.0 version of my rom. it can be found here
Thanks but
before I flash this I want to know if anyone knows where I can download the odin flashable stock firmware for this device. So glad that this is out though but this phone is only 4 months old for me still got 8 months for something to go horribly wrong with it
Thanks! Overall OK.

There is no Odin flashable ROM for this phone. I do have there stock flashable zips tho. Worst case scenario, you Odin flash recovery, then flash the stock zip via cwm. I've been working on CM 9, and have not been able to get it to work, but no matter how many times I've flashed it, I can always flash back to stock via recovery, haven't bricked yet

following!
I'm new to flashing in general so I am just learning what the process entails, but I just put CM11 onto an N7 '13 and I am very impressed with what people are doing. I also have a sluggish Samsung Discover so I'm very interested in how this work proceeds!
Best of luck everyone and thank you Atmu5fear, hopefully I can share my experience soon as well.
