[ROM] CyanogenMod 7 (mesmerizemtd/showcasemtd) - [07/21/11]

Here is a test build/preview of the 2.6.35 MTD CM7 port for the Mesmerize and Showcase. It is built off the work of TeamHacksung, and is very different from earlier CM7 builds. At this point it is very functional, but still in very much of an ALPHA state.
Working:
Calls!!
SMS
3G data
GPS!!
Bluetooth!!
WiFi
Camera/Camcorder
USB mass storage / sdcard
Sensors!!
MMS
Not Working:
bugs
Known Issues:
* occassionally the radio may completely die (usually after phone has been powered off for a while) - fix: (shouldn't have to say this): pull the battery.
Included in the package is the base ROM and kernel. GAPPS must be flashed separately. Link below. You may also use nemesis2all's kernel here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1119169
When flashed the first time, your filesystems will be converted to MTD (yaffs2/ext4). Do not try to flash any other ROMs via cwm at that point, and do not try to get into recovery via the 3 button method. Use adb reboot recovery or the reboot recovery option from the power menu. To revert, and switch to another ROM, flash a full Odin/Heimdall package.
Since your filesystems are being fully converted, there is no need for Voodoo or any other lagfix. DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL ANY KIND OF LAGFIX ON THIS ROM!!! Voodoo sound capability is however included in the kernel.
To install, boot into cwm recovery, wipe data, and flash the ROM. It will reboot and then do the actual install. If you are on a previous version, you can simply flash it over your current install. If you have problems, try wiping data first. The ROM will work whether you are on rfs or ext4.

Thanks for all that you do JT!!

THANKS! Just was on irc looking for this.

works like a charm!!!! runs nice and smooth...thank you for your god-like skillz!!!!!

Awesome work love it

Fast question. My phone has one of jt's older voodoo touchwiz kernels and I have cwm recovery 2.5.x red. The ROM is just a stock USCC froyo which is rooted.
Can I just flash this in cwm 2.5 or do I need to first odin cwm 3.0 and then flash? Do I have to disable the voodoo lagfix or change the kernel before I flash? Sorry I'm not as much of an expert as most people around here but I'm trying!
EDIT:
Oh and when using softlocker, won't that seriously decrease battery life?

yes. That's why, as much as I like this rom, I need decent battery life and have to receive calls, so I'm not flashing this until that bug is fixed.
That being said, INCREDIBLE work, jt! I can't wait for a daily driver.

All right, what about the other stuff? Can I flash this in CWM 2.5 and it will just install CWM 3.0 for me along with the ROM? Do I need to touch my kernel, or at the very least disable the lagfix before flashing? Does this rom overwrite any previous kernel you have?

Always disable lag fix,unless you want fc hell. .im not certain about this bit of software. But yeah most Roms come with the kernel best suited..at least from the devs standards. Rule of thumb if a program is active then it eats battery. Back up yo stuff cuz its gonna wipe you data

Kernel is included. Lagfix does not matter - the rom flash will override everything anyway. Do not try to enable lagfix in anyway on cm7. Not needed and won't work.

Ok but I thought I read somewhere that when you have CWM 3.0 that it has a bug that automatically enables the lagfix. Is that true? How would you prevent this?

The rom isn't flashed in cwm3 - it will flash cwm4 first and the flash the rom.

curious, what kind of quadrant / linpack scores are you guys getting? I'm tempted to flash but i'd really like the deep sleep / mms to get fixed before I jump on.

Ok I am getting install errors in clockwork. Everytime I try to install, it says error installation aborted, something about "status 7." I have never had this problem before. I saw were you need to delete the 4 lines in the update script, but what exactly do I need to delete? Or what do I need to do to be able to install?
I am currently running jt's 5/18 build port if that helps.
Thanks.

on your sdcard there is a voodoo folder..inside that you need to place a file called disable_lagfix kiev and that will prevent spontaneous conversions..if I got the file name wrong someone e please correct me

When I attempt to install this from cwm 3.2 I get the following error:
Code:
assert failed getprop("ro.product.device") == "aries" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "aries" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "aries" ||

Upon the recommendation of lmartin92 I removed this text from the updater-script file, which results in me getting a (Status 4) failure instead.
EDIT: I forgot to say it before, thanks so much for the work you've put in jt. I really appreciate it, and I can't wait for it to be fully ready

It was built a long time ago, and I copy the post in our new thread of Ace 3. I'm not a very big developer, I don't know how to fix the bugs.
Also you might have problems with modem.

I'm not really sure. I'll try to build again this stock rom, and if I fix the bugs, I'll make my own stock based rom, and then port some JB ROMs.
I leave the work on KK to kostoulhs or other developer.

Due to it was the first rom, I made it from 0.
Firstly, I downloaded the Stock ROM of Samsung, then, using a tool and some programmes that I don't remember, I extracted all the folders and files from tar file. After, I made some mods and finally I built the updater-script (thanks to mahond).

New Build!!!!
Good news! I compiled a second build of this ROM. However, this build is pure-stock.
It doesn't have root, or busybox or any of this stuff. It's the same Stock Rom as if you flash it via Odin. The good part is that you recover the guarantee flashing this.
If all bugs are fixed this time (I've not tested it), I'll do the same with more Ace 3 variants, and finally I'll work in a modified stock rom.
Uploading 2nd build soon!!!!
(Sorry for my bad english )
EDIT: 1st post updated, new build is uploaded!!

about 1/3 of the features don't work by my estimation status bar broken, no notifications, home button doesnt work, recents button doesn't work ,screenshot combo doesn't work, terminal apps doesnt work dont use them they will cause a reboot of the device, developer option menu doesn't open/popup when you click build number 8 times
calling data and texting works now ,root works adb is permmissive and se linux is permissive wifi works camera works
usb otg works sound quality is awesome using audio fx equalizer and spotify on high quality :laugh:
i would have done screenshots but no screenshot combo
here is youtube video of a screen recording
i got a fix for some of the broken features
developer options can be turned on
backlight can be turned off
notifications work
status bar settings avaliable now
lockscreen apps show up on lockscreen
home and recents button work now
quick settings are available now
buttons settings avaliable now
system ui tuner setting shows up now
on a g900v device
so to do this fix install settings database editor app from google play
then open a terminal app
and type
su
pm grant by4a.setedit.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
then open settings daabase editor
under secure tab find user setup complete change this to 1
then under global tab find device provisioned and change this to 1
screenshot still broken causes a device reboot
and call delay and bluetooth still broken
this fix breaks power menu just reboots now
dont turn on advanced reboot in developer menu either
here is a video of fix
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwDzloTgCrg
thanks aicp development team for your outstanding work
Thanks Alexander Seibel developer of aicp 12 for klte
thanks opengapps
thanks Chainfire for flashfire and supersu
thanks Denys Vlasenko for busybox
thanks team windows recovery project for twrp

Thank you so much but it seems complicated and needs lots of stuffs to do why just to flash that rom directly using twrp lol.. Thanks again

i didn't say just flash it because it doesn't work you get a twrp error 7 this is the fix for error 7.
Error 7 it has to do with asserts, and the build prop file which you can't edit.
So this flashing the system img of the g900f in effect gives you the build prop file of a g900f fooling twrp into thinking the phone you are using is a g900f and lets the rom flash in twrp so this is why i had to do this.

I have to correct you...To bypass this error 7 you have to edit updater-script in meta-inf folder not build.prop in /system partition. All you need to do is to remove or change a part of script which checks device model number.
For example, this is from CM13:
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "kltexx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "kltexx" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "kltelra" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "kltelra" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "kltetmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "kltetmo" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "kltecan" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "kltecan" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "klteatt" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "klteatt" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "klteub" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "klteub" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "klteacg" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "klteacg" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "klte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "klte" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "kltekor" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "kltekor" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "klteskt" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "klteskt" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "kltektt" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "kltektt" ||
abort("This package is for device: kltexx,kltelra,kltetmo,kltecan,klteatt,klteub,klteacg,klte,kltekor,klteskt,kltektt; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););

I removed whole asserts line and got could not find updater binary error

I just tested it and as soon as you start calling a number it Kind of "freezes" 3-5 sec and then the call begins.
But the ROM seems very stable and fast ,no app crash in 24h usage, battery life seems improved , camera works, Video recording ,mobile data ,calling ,....

z3 with Carbon Rom not responding how to reinstall or fix?

I have installed Carbon Rom Version from december for z3 and for 3 months it worked fine but now I have Problem that it freezes very often and it doesnt even recognize my sim Card for some reason. How can i fix this Problem? Xperia Companion was the way with original Sony Rom but it wont recognize my phone either. I downloaded february update of Carbon Rom and when i try to install it or update it, it return
error 7 E:unknown command[log] error. I think that it Fails to recognize to phone type although my phone is D6602. I found the update-script in the zip file and removed first lines which to detect phone build but it didnt help either, this time it Returns another error "Couldnt find META-INF/com/Google/Android/update-binary". when i check the path, file is there but i dont get why i cant find.
Please shed me some lights to fix this Problem.
I have just downloaded december and january Carbon roms for xperia z3 and they arent installing either. I think because of Carbon Rom remosves phone build number, it doesnt appear as D6602 any longer after installing it. So I wonder what is the sence of Code below in the update-script
(getprop("ro.product.device") == "D6602" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "D6602" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "D6603" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "D6603" ||

EDIT:
I have tried to Format internal drive using TWRP and installl the Carbon zip but I still get error above. Question is here why it is trying to execute update-script still if I formatted it.

Finally i found the reason and solution. It is silly that latest Carbon Rom is not possible to install using older Version of twrp. you should use 3.2 Version. on the other Hand, if you want to install gapps, 3.2 gives your error 64. so the way to do correct Installation
- use twrp 3.2 to install Carbon Rom. i have here bad experience with Carbon Rom february update. Google Play Services Keep crashing. thats why i used january Version for my z3 and it works fine.
- use twrp 3.0.2 to install gapps. as i said using 3.2 twrp, gapps not possible to install. download non-64 bit Version of gapps even your phone is 64bit.

Latest released carbon rom working fine for me. At first i installed gapps arm pico but with that Google play services keep crashing but then i flashed gapps arm stock which is 600 mb and now not a single error occurred till then nor any services crashed. It's damn smooth and more features with gapps stock. And now I'm running version 11.3.2019 dated update with that gapps stock.

NOTE: This version of TWRP is intended to be used with the original unlock for karnak by xyz`.
If you unlocked or updated using amonet-3 it already contains an updated TWRP.
This version will still work, but it lacks support for features such as reboot to hacked BL.
Features:
amonet-aware
SDCard support
USB-OTG support
Backup/Restore support
Downgrade/Overwrite-protection for LK/PL/TZ
Autorestore of broken boot-patch
Also patches amonet-microloader when flashing images
Supports flashing stock-update bins (rename to .zip, no modification necessary )
NOTE: Your device needs to be unlocked.
NOTE: When backing up or restoring stock ROM (or any other ROM that has dm-verity enabled) make sure to select "System Image" instead of "System".
Many thanks to @Kaijones23 for testing!

It has, but not used by stock as far as i can tell.
I added support in TWRP, so it could potentially be used by custom ROMS.

Working great on my brand new HD8. Installed 3.3.1 from your 3.2.3 release, rebooted to recovery, reflashed magisk, no issues. Thanks!

Reflashing Magsik should not have been necessary if it was already installed

Quick question,
Can I just go to my existing TWRP, click Install, select the ZIP file attached here and flash or do I need to extract the image and install the Image file from within the current TWRP version?
Thanks!

You can do it either way, but just flashing the zip in recovery is probably the easiest way. You can reboot recovery while in TWRP to check that it flashed successfully, if you want to.

Hey, quick question
Can i install any .zips that i want? If not, what or which types of .zips should i try to avoid?
(In this case i just want to install YT Vanced)

Flashing YT VANCED in TWRP will also work.
