Has there been any progress with 4g yet? I didn't know if s-off would help with it or not. Let me know if you need me to do anything.
 
I'm in Manhattan standing on the corner of 31st st and 7th ave. My phone shows the 4G icon on the notification bar, with the arrows going nuts. I'm connected, right? Wrong, no active data. Not sure if this helps with anything, but it's what is happening to me.
Has anyone heard of this Rom working with 4G any where else? Maybe they're working on the towers in my area and that's why I have no 4G?
 
Hello shinru and thanks for the 4.1 update. I'm here because well I wanted to thank you and request your help because I can't flash the boot.img from the zip, I get an error saying something about partition error. Help me Please... :D

the adb command is: fastboot flash boot boot.img
make sure you have the boot.img placed in the same spot you have fastboot.exe placed

Shinru do you remember tha zip file you gave me that was supposed to fix 4g? why dont flash back to your rom and try flashing that file and see if with s-off it will work
 
Soff is not a magic fix all soff does is turn the s(ecurity) off.
 
I've installed the latest CWM recovery without flicker and followed your instructions. After the install is finished I start to reboot I get a message about root possibly being lost and asking if I want to fix it. First I chose Yes and rebooted to hear the chime about 3 or 4 times and I can't boot. Choosing No also won't boot. Next I tried wiping the cache and dalvik right after the zip install and chose to fix root and was able to boot. I get past the point of the upgrading message and get stuck on Android is upgrading...starting apps.

Did you do a factory reset? Mine wouldn't work without doing one. I also wiped the cache and Dalvik. ;)

I did. I followed all the instructions. Then I tried wiping the caches before and after the zip install but still no luck.

Separately? No I thought that was part of the original problem is the boot.img wasn't included in the zip. I thought now after you added it to the zip it would be overwritten automatically.

Edit:
I guess if that were the case you'd have updated the instructions :D
OK that worked.

the kernel included is not a custom kernel, it is the stock kernel from the K2_UL european rom. Any issues with the kernel are out of my control. i am going to build a rom specific kernel for this device later on. As for battery life i haven't really had any issues with it.

Have you been able to see a 17hour battery life like Boost Boasts about?

I think it is possible with "normal" use. If you are in an area with a strong signal it helps a lot. Or use Wifi when possible.

I don't use my phone much at work. 2 days a week that is 12 hours. I am experimenting with just turning off data during that time. Voice & Text is good enough without going full airplane mode. I also made sure I turn off unnecessary notifications in all apps. I can get 18 hours doing that.

Of course, Screen Brightness is a big factor too.

BTW, I am still on stock ICS.
