Root Awesome Android Update 4 Released

First off, this rom is great! It really makes the phone feel snappy which is such a relief.

I do have some comments and opinions for the next version. Feel free to disregard with no hard feelings :)

1. It may be good to leave the music.apk and talk.apk in as they are not replaceable in the play store. This was not a problem for me as I just copied them from junkie2100's Deodexed_Sequent.zip (thanks junkie) to my /system/apps dir, but some may have trouble figuring that out.

2. The visual voicemail app is also missing and I got pretty used to using it. Not a huge deal but just mentioning it. Do you remember the name of the apk so I can replace it? Or, do you know of a free alternative that works with boost?

3. This may be related to removing the voicemail app, but if I go to settings, call, voicemail I get an error:

Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped.

Anyway, thanks for doing this rom. You have made a lot of anxious people very happy :)
 
Vtt-boost.apk I think. I'm going to post a zip containing all the removed apps that can be edited and flashed. And the voicemail option is linked to visual voicemail I believe

Taskmanagers are the devil. Worst thing to run on Android. Android manages its own memory and will make space in ram when needed based on priority

EDIT: next version will have new minfree values to help with RAM.
 
nevermind, it wasnt the player that did it, that was a stock android aosp music player it just had the shortcuts built into it...
 
good job brou i like this rom is fast and stable that was the only problem with task manager wich is not a problem thanks for the quick reply.alarm clock will be nice to have.
 
New minfree values keeping at least 200. -220mb ram free at all times. Next version will be even faster!

Anyone tried Google now? By the way the 4.1 stock keyboard has swype

DTM add this thread to the root guide please
 
somebody might wanna check on the 3g speed with the buildprop tweaks used, it seems a little on the slow side though that may just be due to the time of day. i know its not throttled tho they have never managed to throttle my data because i dont pass through their proxy anymore

every time i reset the phone i get the 3gb data warning 2 days in lol

I didn't tweak 3g data Lol
 
Looking at this thru tapatalk Shin. Will this rom work on the Warp n860? Pretty please .lol
 
Huh, that's strange. The file size matched the upload & I did a factory reset twice, cleared cache, & dalvik cache, no errors on installation. Why would root disappear? I'll download again & try it out. Possibly just a bad flash...

Can u include Swype.apk in ROM? And the boost zone app? That's how I pay my bill lol

For everyone that got it working fine, how is it? Have u tried google now? :)

Oh & someone said this phone has a built in screenshot ability?!How iis that so? What's the combo to take a screenshot? Is there an app? I think I tried it once with button combo someone posted but it didn't do anything. Just turned up my volume & turned off screen hahaha lmk gracias!
 
Nvm didn't see the second page when quick replying lol Read the comments. Sounds excellent! Only gonna get better thanks to shinru2004 ;) Glad Swype is in the 4.1 keyboard! Love me some Swype =) time to download again hehe ;)
 
The screenshot is built into the phone...simultaneously press volume down button and power button and hold untill you hear it capture the screenshot...then you'll find it in your gallery under screenshots.
