[rom][05/01/14] Slimkat 4.4.2 beta 2 [UNOFFICIAL][KITKAT] - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Frequent Q&A (maybe?)
​
Q: WHY FAQ FIRST?
A: Because, I have seen some of you guys are so lazy to scroll down a bit to read this as this is essential post I think. And further more, I don't want you to brick your phone because of your lack of reading skill .
Q: Am I advised to do anything?
A: READ THIS CAREFULLY everyone. Since I changed the partition layout for more convenient to work on kitkat or future Android so I advise you to do a oneclick heimdall back to BML first, do a full wipe except for the sdcard and then flash the kitkat zip. Once u r in TWRP, full wipe and flash the build again (with or without gapps) . I might change the partition table several times until I have the good space calculation for rom and gapps tho, so this procedure is advised/required - just took u 30s to do that tho.
I will also mark the zip/update that have another different table that required this procedure then, otherwise, you can update via dirty flash.
Link to heimdall package: AntonX's Basic with a twist kernel [BML]
And here is the recommended procedure:
1. Make backup or whatever u need then copy the ROM into ur sdcard.
2. Reboot into Recovery and full wipe except sdcard.
3. Reboot into Download mode and Heimdall oneclick BML ROM/kernel
4. Flash the Slimkat build from CWM 5.x
5. After booted into TWRP, full wipe and flash the Slimkat ROM again - use the button combo to get into TWRP if it doesn't do it automatically.
6. Reboot and enjoy!
Q: Is this Rooted?
A: Yes it is. To have the Root privileges, Go to settings>about phone>then tap build number 7 times to enable the developer settings, once enabled, under root access, choose apps and adb. That's all. (Thanks to @foxxx5oh)
Q: Why doesn't this have Focal?
A: Because Focal is not available on Slimkat.
Q: Where is 'fix permission' option in CWM?
A: I believe koush decided to throw away the fix permissions button in CWM because he said it was largely placebo effect and had no real purpose anymore. (Thanks to @cpkelley94)
Q: Dahell, I can't use Google Now.
A: I found that all you have to do to fix Google now is get root explorer, titanium backup or SD maid, remove system app Google search and reinstall from play store... (Thanks to @turtlepa)
Q: My battery drains so fast and I found out that WiFi kept awake and running in background even I disabled it. Why?
A: Due to new Android version permission, Google set up a new option to allow Gapps to scan for nearby networks even when WiFi is off. To disable that, go to settings>WiFi>advance>untick the scanning always available option n u r cool again .
Q: Is this really KITKAT? And can I eat it?
A: Yes, yes it is. And u r advised to cook it before eating tho. Enjoy your meal then .

Hmm weird, lets me check the build again, or I might upload my previous build insted (w/o ota support). Interesting that the only change in this build compare to previous one running on mine is OTA suport and it was cleaner build (on mine was dirty one).
Oh wait, did u flash the build again via TWRP? If not, I am sorry that I forgot telling ya that once u r in TWRP, u have to flash it again (u know how to use TWRP rite?)
Anw, u can still heimdall again n flash slimbean tho so dunt worry

Did u flash the ROM again in TWRP? I mean:
1. Copy the ROM to sdcard then Heimdall BML kernel
2. Full wipe except sdcard and flash Slimkat build
3. After booted into TWRP, full wipe and flash the build again.
4. Reboot.

Use the Combo volume + volume - and power button to boot into Recovery tho. If u wiped b4 heimdall then after flashing slimkat, it should bring u into TWRP. that was weird unless u hadn't wiped :/.

now again:
- installed fresh 2.3.6.
- installed AntonX-Basic_with_a_twist-v1.1.0-OC_UV
- wait 5~ minute on boot logo !!
- boot on cwm and install your rom
- auto reboot into TWRP
- install rom again
- wipe
- Reboot
- Phone boot into KitKat
Thank You !!!

jeez! no dao!
its working for me!
i just cant take screen shot! but it works promise DDDDD

I added the right procedure onto OP anyway so everyone else should follow it easier. And FYI, u should have OTA updater works from now on for updating the ROM in future. U should receive a notification automatically everytime I upload a new build then. One more thing I have to do is finding a way to include Changelog and mayb look over GPS then .

Good Luck to you and Good Luck for us too !!
Thank You !!

I'm gonna exclude the OC and UV from the next update anw. It causes more trouble to the stability than it helps on the battery tho. Plus, it's good to let the phone rest for a while, 15 to 30 seconds after every boot finishes to ensure that u won't have freeze/reboot afterwards. and ye. Slimkat just hit the Beta phrase yet, features are slowly merged tho so stay tuned for OTA gift .

Thank you so much for is dao!
OTA works great. Is ART functioning? My SELinux status says Enforcing. Is that a problem?

NOW INTRUCTIONS--​[--Unlock bootloader and root your explorer (if you haven't already) follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223 to root. Dont create a partition just yet.
--Download cm-7-20120807-UNOFFICIAL BUILD #4-pico.zip from mediafire link below and copy it anywhere on sdcard.
--Download gaaps from link below and copy it on sdcard
--Boot into recovery
-- (optional but recommended) go to backup and restore and select backup. This will backup your phone just as it is so that if u ever wanna revert back you can just restore from recovery. (Thanx Liverpool_fan for tip)
--Go into mounts and storage and format /system and /boot and come back and wipe data/factory reset (even if you have any custom rom installed)
--Select Install zip from sdcard-> choose zip from sdcard-> browse to where you have copied the zip file and select it
--Wait for the installation to complete and download latest kernel from link below and flash it in recovery. (format of kernal MDD so update to the latest one)
--flash gaaps to install basic google apps.
--Now select reboot and wait for your phone to boot up.
--If you want to move your dalvik cache to sdext first you will have to partition your sd card. 512mb partition is enough. Use minitoolwizard to partition your sdcard. Partition it in only ext2, ext3 or ext4 format because fat32 is not supported. You can also use recovery (advanced>partition sdcard) to partition but it will erase all data on your sdcard so back it up.
--Now dowload a2sd.zip (credit- Sakindia) and flash it through recovery. You can find a2sd.zip where the kernals are uploaded (check below)
--Reboot and go into Terminal emulator and type "a2sd cachesd" (without quotes)
--Wait for the working to finish and reboot. You have 148mb internal memory free now. :good:
--Alternatively people are saying that s2e is more stable. So download s2e from play store.
--check everything except application data. Reboot.
NOTE: Either flash a2sd or install s2e.
--Enjoy.!!
(OPTIONAL)--
--Download titanium backup and come to the app list now long press on any app and select move data to sd. It will ask you to create a directory, accept! Now select menu button while still in titanium backup and select batch. Come down to option "move app data to sd". Run it to get more internal memory but I recommend to use class 6 sdcard if you are moving app data.​

Fantastic work!
But I suggest you to change the thread name, and including the following "[TUTORIAL]", because poeple will think that is the main thread to this rom.
Regards!
a nice guide to help people:good:, one thing to though is you need to say "backup your old rom with cmw 1st before installing any other" (just incase) and also to stop conflicts from other roms that have been installed you really need to format system, boot, in mounts/storage menu aswell as factory wipe..............
You sir just made my day.

Not really. You'd only ever need to do a factory wipe/reset and then dalvic-cache wipe Cheers.

I know, I installed the Consumer Preview in order to try it out, problem is I was doing multiple things at the same time and accidentally installed it over Vista.
I was too lazy to reinstall Vista back so I just decided to wait for the final version to be released as the preview works just fine for everything I do with my laptop... Well until now anyway, ha.

(I would use jaggy's tutorial to ask but since it hasn't been active for ten days I thought I'd be better to ask here instead of bumping the other thread, if I'm wrong I apologize)
So yeah, I'm still at the rooting process and it seems I'm definitely out of luck on this one.
So first off, I apparently managed to unlock the bootloader (and it IS unlocked, when I'm in bootloader mode I do have the "*** unlocked ***" on top of the screen) and at the same time keeping my apps, settings, etc...This was the first flag that something was wrong.
Adding the Recovery seems to have worked out fine, however when I tried to install the Superuser.zip I got the apparently not-so-uncommon "(Status 0) Installation aborted" message. I did some research and tried the method of removing the extra "updater-script~" from the archive but it did not work. Tried the method of doing a nandroid backup and then installing Superuser but no luck either.
I'm getting seriously hopeless, any idea on what I might have done wrong and how to get Superuser working?
Which recovery did you install, I was having some problems flashing anything with non-yannou's (I know i wrote it stupid but, you've got the idea )
Anyway, give a try to flash some rom, not sure if it will work without superuser installed, but nothing worse can happen (I think)

I installed the Recovery given by jaggy's tutorial. But Recovery isn't the problem as far as I know, since I've the option to install .zip file when in Recovery mode. My only issue comes from the fact that the Superuser file won't install itself.

+1: patch for phones with GB bootloader
Installing:
- download base rom and googleapps, copy to SD card
- use/boot to CWM_6_20130615
- make full wipe, format "system", "system/app" , "data" partitions too
- CWM "Install zip from sdcard" ->"choose zip from sdcard" , select rom then install
- repeat previous step, but choose gapps pack
- if your phone has GB bootloader, use GB patch (it will be released always after 1-4day)
Important: After installing rom, double reboot to fix MAC addresses and USB ID
Dont use independent boot.img for older CM releases becasue of changed SD card mount path.
Im just post that, bagyusz made this!
I personally recommend to use Seeder app, to make system more fluid (in apps, like facebook, etc)
CM9 project
Test version is out - CM9 + gApps. Use CWM5 to install.
No 720rec/hdmi/PC sdcard mount. Touch same as CM10. Shared for testing purposes.
Sources. (working tree, of course)
Clean ICS project
Download and install from recovery. Shared for testing purposes.
*if cant boot or display errors, use attached boot img. (fastboot flash boot boot_245.img)​
If you able, support developers. ​
Great, I hope plenty of feedbacks to help determine what needs to be work on
Good work h1n1 team
Now we're talking....
Good job H1N1 team!!!
Thanx wwenigma & bagyusz and ı see flash cwm 5 is possible ? i think it must be cwm 6 ? and about battery life and scrolling ? and what next come 4.2 or better 4.1.2 ?

Click to collapse
In my opinion, battery life is much better than other ROM before. about scrolling it stills a little beat laggy...
If we could have a 4.2 ROM that would be awesome, really awesome!
Iuss try to modify CWM to use CUSTPACK partition to System/app automatically. (he say'd we wont get official CWM support if we not able to install official gapps packs) This CWM wasnt finished. I cant see any sign of official CM support so this is not need.
Scrolling and battery life. Scrolling is little "jumpy", but not bad. Need some fix (bagyusz working on it) Battery life is under testing (1 charge = 10minute call + 30minute using + 36hour standby), power management is not applied.
About upcoming releases. Time will tell.
Today the third day when i wake up the clock's alarm sound. Its working.
Torch app - i never use, on original ROM it cant working after few day. I recommend this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...uni.flashlight
Wifi/3G switch working.

OK, maybe I was too sleepy and couldn't ear the alarm sound... I'll test it later.
About the flashlight I do not use it too much times but sometimes is very useful. I'll try the app you have recommended.
About Wifi/3G switch is working for me either...
OTG
Have anyone tried to connect mouse/keyboard via USB? Is it necessary for connected device to have its own power supply? Right now I do not have OTG cable to try.

Iuss try to modify CWM to use CUSTPACK partition to System/app automatically. (he say'd we wont get official CWM support if we not able to install official gapps packs) This CWM wasnt finished. I cant see any sign of official CM support so this is not need.
Scrolling and battery life. Scrolling is little "jumpy", but not bad. Need some fix (bagyusz working on it) Battery life is under testing (1 charge = 10minute call + 30minute using + 36hour standby), power management is not applied.
About upcoming releases. Time will tell.

First of all, nice work!
About gapps, it's not legal to distribute them with a ROM without a license from Google and since it's closed source there is no way around it.
Cyanogenmod were threatened with legal action for doing so a few years back so they removed it.
Here's a link with info regarding that: http://androidandme.com/2009/09/hacks/cyanogenmod-in-trouble/
A simple way around it would be to provide a gapps package with an updater-script that installs them into /custpack.

jinxxed, from what i see, they provide it separately, so no issue on that

Ty!
Cyanogenmod team wants a solution to install gapps without any modification. Thats why modded CWM6 released anno, because not enough space in System partition and partition resize isnt available. Then Iuss and fonix cant finish that project. (we talk about that with heimdallr75 , maybe there is a way to resize partitions, but first resize is dangerous)

I think 200-300mA is available via OTG.

Yeah, resizing requires QPST scripting and there is a good chance of destroying the phone.
One solution is to use mini_phone.mk that will put out a rom that is less than 180MB in size.
Of course, it's easier to just change the recovery to fix it like ius did.
All you really need to do is to add the mount lines to recovery and nandroid before compilation.

Anyone tried USB OTG ? If it's working i would be like a barrel filled with happiness rolling down the floor, because i always wanted to have that particular feature on a mobile device
i didn't even know that It was be possible to enable OTG on any device, because i thought it was hardware based modification. Great job, seriously.
i've made some modifications, listed in my github, after inclusion of bagyusz commits (branch:master)
here is my build : http://pa-ot-995.googlecode.com/files/cm-10-20130220-UNOFFICIAL-cocktail.zip
changelog :
- ics and gb bootloaders should work
- Torch works
- battery stats are working
wwenigma, can you add it to OP ? i don't think i have to create a new topic for that. Hopefully, bagyusz will update his git to track his progress, i'll do on my side.

BEN, can we flash it over the latest release from H1N1 or does we have to wipe everything?
yep, but you'll need to wipe cache and i think also flashing gapps again, may be not useful, give a try and inform us

[Recovery] TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.x (recommended for 4.2.2)

Hi there, i'm starting here a discussion thread about Team Win Recovery Project 2.x for our HTC One SV.
Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

As long as i know it will work for k2_u and k2_ul (LTE), cause both have the same partition layout.
This recovery don't work for boost mobile users!
Notice:
This is not my work, i'm not the developer of it!!! I only start the thread here about it because the dev is a russian guy (and i don't know, if he is here at xda and if he speaks english language).
Please be sure what you are doing, when you flash it, bricks can happen and i am not responsible for damaged devices. Do at your own risk!

TWRP source was patched from https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/6283/
This patch allows the ability to take screenshots while in the recovery. It has not been merged over to the TWRP source yet so only unofficial builds at this moment will be seen with this feature.
To take screenshots while in recovery just press both the power key and volume down key. The screen will flash. It will naturally store the screenshot in your pictures folder of your sdcard if mounted in either your internal or external.
TWRP Changelogs:
Code:
[U]2.7.1.0
[/U]Built with custom kernel.
- [B]Removed custom theme and reverted back to stock theme.[/B]
- Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button.
- Various bugfixes to backup and restore
- Improvements to USB storage handling
- Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
- Various other bugfixes and tweaks
[U]2.7.0.2d[/U]
Built with custom kernel.
- Added full SELinux support
- Completely removed HTC write protection.
[U]2.7.0.2c[/U]
Fixed init.rc to allow communication with binaries in /sbin.
TWRP 2.7.0.2c is built ready for SELinux, but the kernel is stock. Until they release the source I can't modify the kernel to support SELinux. This is really only needed for having 4.3+ roms but I want to include it in case the day comes and we see CM, AOSP, or possibly other sources.
[U]2.7.0.2b[/U]
Minor theme adjustment
Upgraded screenshot functionality throughout entire recovery
Note - version 2.7.0.2a screenshots are limited to only the main page
TWRP 2.7.0.2b is built ready for SELinux, but the kernel is stock. Until they release the source I can't modify the kernel to support SELinux. This is really only needed for having 4.3+ roms but I want to include it in case the day comes and we see CM, AOSP, or possibly other sources.
[U]2.7.0.2a[/U]
Built from CM11 and Omni 4.4 sources.
Extended backup options.
1. System
2. Boot
3. Cache
4. Data
5. Recovery
6. Misc
7. Firmware_radio
8. Firmware_q6
9. android secure
*** I think I listed them all ;)
Built in AromaFM.
Implemented screenshot functionality.
Added offmode charging.
Completely updated to fit with 4.2.2.
Includes Holofied Black Theme.

HTC Dumlock Instructions:
HTC Dumlock Instructions specifically for S-On users but S-Off users can use it as well if they choose to:
1. Install the build of TWRP using your method of choice, but you must actually flash TWRP to recovery.* No fastboot booting it.* We need it in recovery so that this build of TWRP will be flashed to your boot.* This new build of TWRP has features in it to easily restore your original boot.
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Make a backup of your phone.
4. Tap Advanced.
5. Tap HTC Dumlock. (If you don't see HTC Dumlock then you need to remove any custom TWRP theme that you might be using.)
6. Tap Install HTC Dumlock.* This will install the app and binaries needed to make everything work nicely.
7. Reboot your device.
8. Find and open the HTC Dumlock app.
9. If/when prompted, give the app root (SuperUser) permissions.
10. Tap the Execute HTC Dumlock button.
11. Wait patiently for a couple of minutes.* It takes a little while.
If your device doesn't reboot automatically, reboot it manually.* Reboot it normally.* DO NOT reboot it to recovery.
You should now be in your recovery, but your recovery is flashed into boot.
12. Tap Advanced.
13. Tap HTC Dumlock.
14. Tap Restore Original Boot.
Use your recovery like normal.* Flash a new kernel.* Restore a backup with a different kernel.* Do whatever you please!

Addition
This recovery also works in the ADB mode with root rigths.
In this mode, you can add (delete) files in the SYSTEM
on OS Jelly Beam
And sets the superuser, if superuser is not in the system.:good:
Are you the developer of it?
I hope it is ok for you that i have started a thread for it here?
Anyway, it works great and you have done it very well ! :good::good::good:
Thanks a lot!!
Thank you. Use it. Version 2.5.0.1 is made on the kernel 3.14.10-gf43d146.

To sign in there is really painful if you don't speak the language, but as far as i know it does not work as long you are on google translation. The captcha i could only pass with a guy from another board who speaks russian.
The recovery shows 2.5.0.0 but the filename from download page was Recovery_TWRP_2.5.0.1_HTC_ONE_SV.img so i think it is the same.
Kernel can be found here.

And the last question , can i flash the kernel without installing the whole rom?? i mean , flash it in the rom that i update some weeks ago via OTA or have i to flash the ro that you have in your signature? My SV is K2_U , can i flash this despite be for K2_UL devices??
thanks
You can flash the kernel only and also for k2u (i have too).
If you are not S-off, you need to flash the zip in recovery and the boot.img inside with fastboot.
once i have flashed the kernel , what i have to do to delete some system app??
thanks again
Use a root explorer and go to system/apps/ and delete the one you don't need anymore (or rename it first to see if it causes problems).
But be carefull with what you delete and make a nand backup before!!!!!

No, in JB OS files not be deleted.
Instead, use the file manager in the TWRP recovery.

As long as i know, you can't restore cwm backup with TWRP. So you need to flash cwm and restore your backup with that.

ROM OS Version: 4.4.x KitKat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.0.101-NiLTMTv14.05.02.branch master
ROM Firmware Required: GAPPS for Android 4.4 (kitkat) (on ROM Download page)
Based On: AOKP
Version Information
Status: Unofficial
Created 2014-05-02
Last Updated 2014-05-02
F.A.Q (Freaking Annoying Questions)
​
Q: Am I advised to do anything?
A: READ THIS CAREFULLY everyone. Since I changed the partition layout for more convenient to work on kitkat or future Android so I advise you to do a oneclick heimdall back to BML first, do a full wipe except for the sdcard and then flash the kitkat zip. Once u r in TWRP, full wipe and flash the build again (with or without gapps) . I might change the partition table several times until I have the good space calculation for rom and gapps tho, so this procedure is advised/required - just took u 30s to do that tho.
I will also mark the zip/update that have another different table that required this procedure then, otherwise, you can update via dirty flash.
Link to heimdall package: AntonX's Basic with a twist kernel [BML]
And here is the recommended procedure:
1. Make backup or whatever u need then copy the ROM into ur sdcard.
2. Reboot into Recovery and full wipe except sdcard.
3. Reboot into Download mode and Heimdall oneclick BML ROM/kernel
4. Flash the Beanstalk build from CWM 5.x
5. After booted into TWRP, full wipe and flash the Beanstalk ROM again - use the button combo to get into TWRP if it doesn't do it automatically.
6. Reboot and enjoy!
Q: Is this Rooted?
A: Yes it is. To have the Root privileges, Go to settings>about phone>then tap build number 7 times to enable the developer settings, once enabled, under root access, choose apps and adb. That's all. (Thanks to @foxxx5oh)
Q: Where is 'fix permission' option in CWM?
A: I believe koush decided to throw away the fix permissions button in CWM because he said it was largely placebo effect and had no real purpose anymore. (Thanks to @cpkelley94)
Q: Dahell, I can't use Google Now.
A: I found that all you have to do to fix Google now is get root explorer, titanium backup or SD maid, remove system app Google search and reinstall from play store... (Thanks to @turtlepa)
Q: My battery drains so fast and I found out that WiFi kept awake and running in background even I disabled it. Why?
A: Due to new Android version permission, Google set up a new option to allow Gapps to scan for nearby networks even when WiFi is off. To disable that, go to settings>WiFi>advance>untick the scanning always available option n u r cool again .
Q: Is this really KITKAT? And can I eat it?
A: Yes, yes it is. And u r advised to cook it before eating tho. Enjoy your meal then .
Nice, I loved the AOKP in ICS, I will definitely try the KK version.
Oh, btw the installation instruction it is saying
Flash the Beanstalk build from CWM 5.x

Thanks for doing this! Since I'm currently running Beanstalk 4.4.2 with associated Gapps, can I assume that I don't have to re-flash another Gapps package?
I just found a severe problem with the previous build. Please don't flash it til I update it with a newer build.
Anyone has flashed it: just use ur phone normally but u wouldn't be able to reboot to recovery tho. If so, you can heimdall flash any boot.img that has recovery working as of beanstalk or slimsaber and u r good again. sorry for this inconvenience.

Second build
Fixed "no recovery" boot.img kernel image
Kernel info: 3.0.101-NiLTMTv14.05.02.branch.master
Touchwake implemented
Frandom implemented
USB OTG implemented
Random Entropy tweaks
Fast charge
Deep Idle
GPU ION updates
Custom Vsync
Built with Google GCC toolchain 4.7
To ones that flashed the previous build: Find a way your self to use heimdall to flash the boot.img within this build:
Windows user: Use heimdall frontend, download PIT and browse to the kernel image and flash
Ubuntu user: extract the kernel image and use this command:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel
In this build, there is no bootanim initially and I didn't have time to modify the ROM zip manually so: actually, there is bootanim but with different name: bootanim-alt.zip, located at the same path as common bootanim: /system/media. Rename it via root explorer and enjoy! I'm going back to daily routine, as it has been 3-day for me holiday, from tmr so good luck everyone and bb .
Kinda big kinda small like inbetween beanstalk and slim file size. Ill have to try this. Oh how i wish for dirty unicorns daily..

GAPPS
I didn't see any GAPPS listed for this rom. I found a set made for AOKP from their home site. you can get them from this link

Had a weird problem trying to factory reset after installing. Just hung there on sdext format then touching the screen it would select other partitions while formatting. Is the one up on goo the fixed one ?

It was meant to be the gapps on aokp.co download section but I guess flashing whichever gapps wouldn't hurt

i have the same but! my issue is when i format my SD card, it would select other partitons while formatting and Also when im installing Rom.
Loaded the Rom and GAPPS. The GAPPS I chose did not load the play store. I tried to go back to recovery to flash again, and the phone will not access recovery mode. I just get a blank screen after the "Kernal" screen(the cat screen). My micro usb port is damaged so cant use heimdall or Odin. Any other suggestions? Outside of getting the usb port repaired?

For what it's worth, the same thing happened to me a couple months ago. I called T-Mobile and asked if they could repair the USB port. They said that it's tough to impossible to repair the ports...so they sent me a new phone despite the fact that I'd had it for well over 2 years.
If you have a post paid plan... A new phone T-Mobile is good with that stuff. To be honest they usually don't check if u cant one click back. Although it prob is your USB port on phone a lot of times its the cable or USB controller on the computer. You need to use a root hub port... There's always 1 or 2 min on a PC. Fixing the usb port is a pain... Thats kind of lethargic tho of tmobile to not want to resolder the USB port. The problem with recovery is how twrp was compiled with boot when building the ROM. Kinda like in 05 beanstalk. I wish I could help dao fix this as its fixed on Bs but we are like a married couple. Maybe one day he will unblock me

I'll be glad to send it to you. For 10 dollars, that is quite cheep. It is the USB port that is out, has been for awhile. Been using an external charger and two batteries to keep it going.

ROM OS Version: 5.1.x Lollipop
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.0.x
Version Information
Status: No Longer Updated
Created 2015-03-02
Last Updated 2016-11-15
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS and DOWNLOADS
Installation for 5.1.X (Candy5 V2.X):
Download Candy5.zip
Download 5.1 Gapps (optional)
Place Candy5.zip on phone's memory or SD card
Boot into recovery. You need a newer version for lollipop. Tested with TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery linked below.
Make a nandroid backup.
Make sure you're on one of these radios or newer for now: I727:UCMC1|I727R:UXUMA7
Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)
Flash Candy5.zip
Flash GApps if desired ***
Reboot, and let the ROM boot up and settle for 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy!
Issues? Post a logcat on Pastebin, link to it here, and provide as many details as possible, such as ROM version, GApps used, radio/modem, cell provider, or anything relevant to the problem or how to duplicate the issue.
TWRP Recovery:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 with F2FS support in IMG, TAR and ZIP formats. Thanks to @javelinanddart for compiling these.
5.1.X:
ROM:
candy5-release.v4.1-20151030-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket.zip
Don't use the BasketBuild OTAs just yet. I'll un-hide the link when the OTA builds are good again:
Candy ROMs are now built weekly and can be found in the CandyRoms BasketBuild Skyrocket folder
GApps:
Use TK PIco GApps from AndroidFileHost | BasketBuild
(Main TK GApps thread on XDA)
(*** You may use a 5.1 GApps package of your choice, but be wary of large GApps packages. It's normally better on the Skyrocket to install a very small GApps package and get the rest of the Google Apps from the Play Store...)
Please give first boot several minutes to complete.
* If you use Hangouts Dialer and find you lose audio after using it, you can try flashing this audio patch. (Credit goes to @bryan2894.)
=================
Previous builds have been removed from here, but they're still on my AndroidFileHost.com account or CandyRoms' AndroidFileHost.com account.
Screenshots
Candy5 has the CM Theme Engine, so appearances can widely vary. Here is stock...
This is running pretty smooth on my rocket! Thanks for building and sharing this awesome rom!!
Nice rom,very smooth.
Installed easy first time.
Like the added ability for transitions.
Used pa-gapps 20150221 with twrp 2.8.5.0 .
Only bug is 1080p camera ,hopefully fixed down the line for all lollipop versions.

Where you already rooted,if so with what recovery.Twrp of phhilz ,ect ( see Vincom's page at beginning of development page BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING } Did you install rom from TWRP or from phone itself with a rom manager or reboot to recovory. You also could have download bad file. Have you installed a custom rom before and what recovery did you use and what rom are you running.. Sorry about the questions but it really helps everyone here to help you. Thanks

You need to be rooted to install a custom recovery. @vincom's Skyrocket One-Stop Reference Sticky is linked in my signature, and has everything you need for rooting, recovery, flashing, radios, and even the stock ROMs to reset your device to stock.
I have installed and tested both TWRP and the ROM myself, so I know both are OK.

No option for MPT in storage, just connect too usb -that doesn't do anything when selected.

Ok thanks. I'll be looking at power off charging code later and will look at the storage options too.
What's the Play Store issue?

NEW BUILD!
OK, here we go...
An updated build has been posted in the ROM download link in the OP. I think you guys are gonna like this!
It includes:
BLN (Button Light Notificaiton) support, and it can be disabled if you want in the Settings menu! (Sorry no per-app control right now.) Thanks to @gimmeitorilltell!
Power-off charging is fixed, along with animated images during charge. So if your phone dies, you can charge it back up without issue!
App2sd is back!
GO GET SOME YUMMY CANDY! :good:
Hi NoSpamDan, i saw you made a Candy Rom build which i think was very cool when i tested it on Kitkat last year. So i decide to get this one instead of Slim LP. Would it be possible to have both roms support the new partition layout ? Thank for your hardwork. Hope you continue for some more great update.
