Root [DISCONTINUED] SimplicityXL {Updated 5/17/14}

So how does one go about using the volume keys for music control? I've missed that feature from my epic on cm :(

if you have the xposed framework installer, you can download a module called "physical button music controls"
you can change the settings and stuff with different buttons or whatever :p
 
I was being throttled before I updated, now it's back to normal speed, wwill sew how long this goes on for.. Just one problem... My YouTube app is not working, I uninstalled It and tryed again but no go it just crashes instead of opening


Have u went to settings/apps/YouTube and clear data and or cache? This worked for me.
 
Hey Chev,
Thanks for the great work

Could you post the sha-256 hash of the zip files near the links at the top of this thread? That way we can use the HashDroid app to confirm that we weren't inadvertently directed to a bad file.
 
not too important, but I think the CRT animation might have something to do with the tinted status bar, cause it works every time when I'm on my homescreen/lockscreen. anybody else notice this?? or just me...

Nope, was always an issue even before I did the theme. Install stock theme if you wanna check for yourself.
 
can somebody please post a link to this rom anywhere other than mediafire. none of my browsers is letting me see the captcha to authorize the download. grrrr. lol

Download it from your desktop browser. Try connecting your phone to your computer and transferring it to /SD card. That's what I did for the prior update since I also couldn't download it from my phone
 
Usually you have to watch a little ad before it gives you the code. Maybe you just need to press the play button on that. I downloaded it fine with chrome on my f7..
 
thanks for the great tips, but I wouldn't have posted the question had I not already tried Chrome Opera and Firefox ( my "browsers") as I mentioned in my earlier post. none of them seem to want to display that damned captcha! lol not looking to circumvent the system, just trying to finally get a copy of this ROM so I can justify the nightmare and hoops I've gone through to flash back to stock, zv5 update, etc. to finally try out what i keep reading is a kick ass rom! So anyway, if Chev (Mad Respect btw) could pm me a temporary alt link or something, I would be eternally grateful! thanks again to Chev and those who sacrificed much much time and many excedrin in the making of this ROM and the overall development of the Android community. for many years I've had and used a Windows Mobile phone and learned Windows programming from the ground up to hack that phone backwards and forwards. in the couple of months that I've had this Android phone I've bricked/unbricked it, rooted and flashed ClockworkMod recovery, custom kernel, and lots of blacked out apps, and been forced to learn Linux and Android from the ground up. pretty sure the Devs will concur its no cakewalk. but it's been fun exciting and educational, and nothing beats that familiar feeling of "Look what I can do!" after you hack something and make it your own! looking forward to pushing the limits of this phone and its software and learn everything that can be done with it, someday teaching others to do the same.
 
the bitch of this is I have a mediafire account and was logged in. but its still displayed the captcha message. it finally occurred to me to sign out of my account and then sign back in. sure enough that fixed it. lol will post back on rom after I get it flashed and take her for a spin. gonna be swamped the next coupla days. download just finished. going to get it transferred over to storage card and back it up so nothing happens to it. as soon as I know I'm done needing the phone on standby for business, IT'S TIME FOR SIMPLICITY BABY! 👍

It's a great rom! I think you'll like it here :)
 
More problems have arisen for me. I dl'ed 1.0.4 via OTA, turned my phone off and went into recovery a few times. But each time it would go to a black screen and not CWM. I figured CWM got messed up when I finally got 1.0.2 installed so I went to 2nd Init recovery to flash it again when it gave me a black screen for that too. So I rebooted again to go into 2nd Init recovery again, but rebooting put it into 2nd Init recovery automatically. Now each time I restart my phone it goes straight to that and won't let me flash anything from internal storage. I hope I don't have to re-flash all this stuff again!!
 
The way I go in to cwm is I use gravity box there is a box asking of you want advance options does power button... Give you the option to reboot into cwm... Work for all the of my flashes

Just gotta be patient with pgs cwm. That's a bug where sometimes it only boots to a black screen. Just gotta keep on trying until it finally boots into cwm. Pull your battery and try booting into cwm.
 
yeah, everything I've read about that says its a no no. Always manually power down, then do the volume down power button combo, is what I keep hearing preached and preached and preached. I suspect for a reason. ( something about third party apps rebooting causing data wipes.) :)
 
Yes but what I do before is move over the file to my SD card... It's a little more work but like I said it's worked for me and I put my back ups on the cared to
