[ROM][17/11][Updated] Custom GB V21A Lite ROM by c.o.h. Fast, Smooth & Problemless!!!

[ROM][17/11][Updated] Custom GB V21A Lite ROM by c.o.h. Fast, Smooth & Problemless!!!
Here is my brand new custom ROM based on the SECOND leaked Android 2.3.5 GB ROM (V21A) with a lot of modifications such as:
Fully DEODEXED and ZIPALIGNED!
Added FM Radio!
Kept LG launcher, added ADW Launcher (Now you choose which one to use ).
Removed some battery consuming LG Apps (Application Manager, LG PC sync, on screen phone, Battery widget, remote call etc..)
Removed unnecessary sytem apps (Today tips etc.)
NEW Google Nexus Bootanimation (Removed startup and shutdown sound).
NEW Framework with Batterymod and new font (Sonysketch), removed Notification toggles from the notification bar (Music toggles can also be removed from music app setting) etc...
Alternative frameworks (See attachments),
3D Games and some of the widgets such as LG weather, SNS etc. kept.
Added a new 3D game; Archercraft.
Added 3D photo program; Phereo.
Added adblocker "Adfree" (for blocking ads in ad supported apps).
Added QuickPic for fast wallpaper change.
Added evernote with widgets and removed richnote (much better).
Added Adao file manager.
Added latest version of sytem apps such as Youtube, Maps...etc.
Latest video enabled Gtalk (front cam has problem however).
Added mobiscan QR for barcode scanning.
Added CsipSimple for voip.
Fixed Superuser with the latest SU binary
Rebooter doesn't boot into recovery in LG GB based roms, so i removed it. Use "ROM manager" for this.
and more....
Around 260 MB of RAM free after the first install including all the vital apps!
I don't take any responsibility for any problem! You do take the risk and use this ROM by yourself.
You need to install the O3D baseband for GB before starting!
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331814
You don't need to install the GB baseband again if you already have it installed.
Instructions to install:
1. Download and extract the zip from:
http://www.multiupload.com/8S760WAO70
and put the folder named "2011-11-17.19.30.21" into your external memory--> /_ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup
MD5 Hash values:

cab39fbc608074a34d7ab955492d3993 .android_secure.vfat.tar
2. Enter the recovery by holding 3D button and Vol+ while booting the phone.
3. Wipe data/factory reset.
4. Wipe dalvik cache.
5. Format system from "mounts and storage" menu
6. Restore the folder 2011-11-17.19.30.21 (downloaded and extracted file) via CWM-->backup and restore-->Restore.
7. Reboot and enjoy the currently fastest O3D Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM V21A fixed!
8. Press thanks button if you like it
Problems:
Some reports having problems regarding market and gtalk. I never had this problem but if you have it just uninstall gtalk and market ( first backup them via Titanium backup), restart, then reinstall them (again using Titanium backup with option install app only, not app+data). The problem will be fixed.
For the Hybrid ICS settings and some more related to ICS download the attched apk and push it to /system/app (it has a problem for showing battery consume data though )
To revert default notification toggles, use the attached cwm zip
To revert default fonts, use the attached cwm zip
Note: I don't use cwm flashable zip in this version as it causes some non-specific problems. I use cwm restore folders instead as i can also tweak settings, etc (You need an sd card though to install it). So this version doesn't have any problems and is tweaked further

Screenshots:

Going to try this Quick question, when you say it wont be done until a few hours, whats in the zip file you link to to flash? Or is that an older ROM?

It seems you gave a link to your previous ROM. When I tried to download it my download manager said it's already done. File name is coh_lite_O3D_GB_v2.2.zip, is it right?

INTRODUCTION

Click to collapse
Please read this Post #1, Post #2, Post #3 not once, but multiple times. This is a Daily Driver ROM, for those who have been with EMBRYO series of ROM, it is pillar of high quality, so updates will be few and far between. Please see Post #2 for ChangeLog and features. NOTE: THIS IS SAMSUNG TouchWiz Framework based ROM.
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: You are flashing this on your own free will.
If you are new to flashing on the Skyrocket, please read the Stickies in this forum to get familiar with the terms. Also, before you ask a question come back to the OP to check if I have updated it, before you post, as I do update it frequently. Let's keep the post count less and relevant, do not waste a post by saying the ROM is great (I know it is great ), hit the thanks button or don't.

PACKAGING
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
​ EMBRYO-4.0 is a continuation of EMBRYO-3.2, based of Samsung leak UCLF5. So this is basically, a touchwiz interface with very little theming. EMBRYO-4.0, departs from it's previous versions, by being a very fat download. I have moved everything to /data partition, which mean you can delete the stuff that you don't want. This was mainly done, to give the option to you, instead of me dictating what should go in or not. But, Samsung and ATT bloat (except for a few apks), is definitely not there.

INSTALLATION
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
​ Please follow the installation instruction EXACTLY. Regardless of what you have read or followed, throw that away and please do NOT do any dark-side wipe, wiping cache 3x, etc, it is plain wasteful. If the recovery you are using is good, you should not have to do that.
Step 1) Backup, Backup. Do a Titanium Backup of all your apps. Do NOT backup system apps or data. I would also recommend a nandroid backup.
Step 2) Did you do Step 1)?
Step 3) Download the ROM. Please check the MD5SUM to be sure, the download link has the MD5SUM, added to OP.
Step 3a) Download any optional add-ons see the add-ons section. This way you can flash them right away.
Step 4) Copy the ROM and any add-ons you want to your internal or external SD Card. (if you downloaded them on a PC). Make sure you compare the sizes.
Step 5) Boot into recovery (the three finger salute or adb reboot recovery or if your existing ROM allows you to do that).
Step 6) In Recovery, go to "mounts and storage" and select "format /system" in the subsequent menu. Then select "yes" in the next menu that shows up. (NOTE: This is how it is in the recovery I use, yours maybe different, but the idea is format the "/system" partition).
Step 7) Then, issue "wipe data and cache" from the main menu. (The recovery I use does format "/data" partition and "/cache" partition in one shot, I use the touch recovery).
Step 8) Now, select the ROM zip (wherever you stored in Step 4)).
Step 9) Flash the ROM be patient....
Step 10) [OPTIONAL] Do NOT REBOOT yest. At this point flash any ADD-ON you want. This will replace any existing apps or mods that you want.
Step 11) Now you can Reboot.. Please BE Patient. You will see the touch lights light up (the cache is getting built). And then you should see the "Install Applications..." show up and all the apps that have been moved to data will be installed. DO NOT TOUCH ANY KEYS. Once it is installed, you will be presented with the Launcher Dialog asking you to pick the launcher you want. The ROM comes with the Galaxy S3 Launcher and the stock TWLauncher.
Step 12) As soon as you get the homescreen. Please "RESTART" the device, you need to do this to get the init scripts to run.
Step 13) I would strongly recommend making a TiBu backup as soon as you are done.
Step 14) Do any post installation tasks that you may need.
POST INSTALLATION TASKS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
​
- Since a majority of the packages have been moved to /data. I would strongly recommend a TiBu backup, right away. As just in case you have to do a data wipe, you will get those apps back.
- The ROM does not come with any RADIOS, for good reason. It will leave your existing radio intact. See the radios section in this POST for all the available radios, they are all CWM flashable zips. Download, and flash in CWM, thats it.
- If you want to flash the stock kernel, flash it from the Kernels section. Again, is a CWM flashable zip. Download and flash in CWM that it, no extra steps needed.

First ! Thanks Mohan

Thanks Mohan! Downloading now.
I assume you still use the same recovery as previous Embryo versions.
Compatible with Cymbaline 1.5?

Great job on all the roms and other stuff you have put out.
1 question. when i install this rom on my phone, can i flash this over GB or do i have to do the latest odin 1 click ics? sorry if this is in the wrong place but i figure i would ask here since this is the rom i want to install.
Thanks.

Yes, I am using the same recovery as detailed in EMBRYO-3.2 thread. Although I have made it recovery agnostic, i.e. I am relying on really really basic recovery functions.

Weather widget doesn't work though -- I'm using Apex launcher
It is listed under installed apps, but doesn't show up as an addable widget.

I have no weather on lock screen
Do I still need to flash the old weather on lockscreen zip?

No dont move anything, just wait for some time or reboot..it should show up.... Also the weather widget is from SGS3, so it is quite possible you will have to remove and add it back, especially if you have restored the Apex settings back..
WORKAROUND: It looks the daemon does not start..workaround just add the AccuWeather widget into one of the HomeScreen and it should show up..and then you can remove the widget..

please upload picture from rom

Hi, dear friends!
Now I use SKY ICS 4.2F-6 with Cymbaline 1.5 kernel.
What this one in comparision with EMBRIO in power efficiency? I understand that it is a very subjective but what is Your own experience?
In generally, what is a reasons to move from ICS to Embrio?
Thank You all!

mohan,
I'm downloading now, but can you tell me whether or not you left in the in-call background noise suppression toggle in this ROM or will I need to flash a separate phone.apk? I still have the flashable zip from 3.2 that you created just in case it's needed and nothing has changed with the dialer.
Thanks for the new version of Embryo... my favorite Skyrocket ROM!

The same happened to me too in Evo7. Also, be aware that if you flash this mod, you'll no longer have the Performance menu within settings. That has nothing to do with this mod itself, it's something extra that Evo7 added.

That's annoying. I was just about to flash the new zip file, thx.
Can't we take PerformanceControl.apk from Evo7 priv-app folder and put it in laginoo's zip file ? As we do for the framework ? What do you think about this ? Sorry if I'm totally wrong with this thought and/or out of the subject..

I actually have no idea, it might work but I don't know how the dependencies work, we'd have to ask the Evo7's developer

[MOD][AROMA][2015.09.16]ImproveG3 v1.2

Hi all,
I took a bit of time (and restoring nandroids) to create an AROMA installer script.
It works on 5.0 stock (based) ROMs as well, please test and report back.
What it does:
Debloat your system
- Remove LG apps
- Remove Google Apps (which can be downloaded from Play Store)
- Remove boot/shutdown animations/sounds
- Remove all other UI/Camera/Alarm/Notification/Ringtone sounds - see 2nd post if you need to restore these easily
Install KitKat external SD fix or restore to stock
CPU Thermal Throttling (CTT) Mod by @Robshr
Sharpening Mod by @Skin1980 - see 2nd post if it bootloops

The script currently is in English and German, more localizations welcome.
Disclaimer:
THIS SCRIPT SHOULD BE SAFE TO USE ON STOCK 4.4, 5.0 AND STOCK BASED CUSTOM ROMS AS WELL, INDEPENDENT OF YOUR DEVICE MODEL.
STILL, USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
ONLY REMOVE APPS YOU DO NOT USE.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE LIKE BOOTLOOPS/BRICKS/HAVING TO FLASH STOCK.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A CURRENT AND WORKING NANDROID BACKUP.

Known (possible) side-effects:
- After removing everything the debloater offers at once, the phone sometimes would not find the mobile network. Turning off and on again Wifi and Data helped
- Sometimes all settings (new profile) or just language get lost. Restore nandroid and try again.
- It is heavily recommended to setup an alternative keyboard and home screen before removing LG Home and LG Keyboard.
- Removing LGInstallService causes "App Updates" to download LG apps, but not install them.
- Removing Update Center causes Settings->About Phone->Update Center to FC, and you have no (direct) way to open App Updates (LG app updater) or Software Update (OTA updates). Removing Update Center, App Updates and Software Update causes Update Center to not even appear and not cause any issues.
- Removing Google Search is said to lead to a bootloop if you factory reset your device (see this thread) - I don't intend on resetting my device, so no idea.

Requirements:
- TWRP recovery
- Stock (based) 4.4/5.0 ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Usage:
- Create a nandroid backup
- Download the attached .zip and copy it to the root of your external SD card (/storage/external_SD)

In Case the Sharpening Mod does not work for you ("dirty" boot partition, code security verification error or something like that)
Restore the nandroid Boot backup you did create... didn't you?
If you are using a ROM currently:
- Extract "boot.img" from your ROM zip (should work).
If you are using a custom kernel:
- Extract "boot.img" from the kernel zip (should work).
If you are using stock:
- Download your correct version stock firmware image (KDZ). Extract it using "WindowsLGFirmwareExtract", then extract "boot_xxxxxx.bin" from the resulting .DZ file. Rename it to boot.img. (Guaranteed to work)
For Mac/Linux, there are Python scripts linked around the G3 forums, searching "extract KDZ" or visiting the G3 Index Thread in G3 -> General should help.
Sorry I cannot provide more information for these systems. All commands below should be the same except "adb push /path/to/boot.img /sdcard/boot.img".
Here's a stock 10L kernel for D855 . Extract the zip and rename the .bin file to boot.img.
Connect your phone to pc, open a command prompt, and type everything that is not in ():
Code:
adb push c:\path\to\boot.img /sdcard/boot.img
(copy boot image to internal memory)
adb shell
su
(start a ADB shell and get root permissions)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
(overwrite current boot partition with all zeros - WILL throw an error, don't worry.)
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
(overwrite now empty boot partition with kernel image)
exit
exit
adb reboot
(reboot the device)
This completely wipes your boot partition with 0000's, then fills it up with the kernel image you used before.
Now the Sharpening Mod will work.
If you copy the boot.img to the SD manually, you can execute all commands starting from 'su' up to the second exit in a terminal app on the phone itself as well.
Make sure you don't make any typos, and reboot afterwards!

If you deleted too many animations/sounds or want them back:
Here's a flashable audio-restore.zip.
Flash it using Flashify or TWRP.
It will restore all animations and sounds to stock state.

Safe to remove but have a replacement installed (and better set that to default before debloating).
Also, if doing a Factory Reset, this can lead to Setup Wizard loops. I can not confirm if integrating
alternatives into the system before wiping solves this.:
Home
Home Theme Optimus
Internet
LG Keyboard
LG Keyboard XT9

Google Apps:
Chrome

Potentially dangerous, can lead to FCs in specific combinations.
See list of Possible side-effects in first post before removing these:
App Updates
Google Search (can lead to Setup Wizard loops after Factory Reset)
LGInstallService
Software Update
Update Center

Definitely dangerous, will cause FCs for sure or other issues - not included:
com.lge.sui.widget - causes Settings FC after boot, then Settings to FC on open
LG System Service - makes the LED blink wildly

and here go at least 2 characters so my message is not too short.....

Always liked this debloating things.
Will test it later.

Can you feel the difference in speed?

Not yet. What exactly did you select?
I installed/ran/removed everything on my device except the unsafe apps without issues.
Cam you provide some sort of log?
E.g. the one created by the recovery after running

Unfortunately there currently is no way for me to find out what went wrong on your device.
Hoping for a few more people to test the mod and report back if they encounter the same.
After the installer did its job (Mounting partitions, removing stuff, unmounting partitions), you are offered a "save log" button on the bottom left.
Is there a chance you'd be willing to try once more and then attach the log?
This might help with analysis.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Great work. Is lghome and keyboard also safe to uninstall in case of a factory reset. On the G2 with my debloater removing those together or individually caused a "setup loop".
Going to flag this on the Vs985.

Hi,
no they are NOT factory reset safe.
I will add a note to the "Safe with Alternative" section of the "readme" before the actual module selection, thank you.
Either you can integrate an alternative launcher and keyboard into the ROM (should work, never tried this before), or create a flashable zip just with these two. If you need to factory reset again, just flash the zip (copying home and keyboard to the correct /system/(priv-app)/ folder) and after the initial setup remove them again.
Edit: Oh nearly forgot, another thread (linked to in the OP) states that moving Google Search to userspace (or deleting it) and then factory resetting the device would lead to some loop (dunno if Boot, Setup or whatever) as well. That is why it's in the "Potentially dangerous" section until I had time (and interest to restore an old backup...) to actually test.

Does the network zip provide any real noticable changes?

What do you mean by network zip?

@subworx: in case you still need Google Search package: it's called "velvet.apk". Use Titanium Backup to display the package and apk names.

Thank you very much
As I said, I moved the app to userspace, so my Titanium says "APK path: /data/appcom.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk" - no Velvet to be seen.
I saw Velvet.apk in the unpacked system image, but could not find out what it is/does.
Will add it to the script right away
Not sure if one should remove it though, might be needed by the LG initial setup wizard, could be that the wizard loops without Google.
