Love the work you've got going and I had the same thought about kk on warp so I loled and went great minds.

I would like to see skinny without the 4g icon or an option to get rid of it. The 4g always made me sad because I knew I didn't have it like a bandaid on a bullet hole I guess.
 
I don't know why, but ever since version 8 and everything after that, my quickpanel settings are not sticking unless i reboot the phone. Any remedies?
 
Its sticking for me... blah I'll try uploading to Dropbox again it could be issues with Copy... they're changing a ton of stuff on their site

Do any of the kernels for warp support undervolting? I tried a search of the forum but no luck
Click to expand...

I asked dm, he said that Alien Kernel 4 is undervolted as much as the Waro can handle... and that he has yet to officially release it lol. But the kernel in the rom, Alien 3, is not. We'll just have to wait and be patient for him to release it, because you can't rush something and expect it to come out good I can tell you that from expirience
 
What about straight tethering via a usb cord to the pc to the phone so internet can be run via the phone?

It broke too somehow. All I did was theme the settings menu... it worked really great a few releases ago.

For people who need wifi tethering really badly, I suggest y'all try out Warp OEM. Its a great rom, really fluid and fast, and tethering works in it as well
 
Aaaand all my USB cables are broken, I don't have a charger, and I don't have the money to go out and buy one right now -__- SO I'm gonna need a few more testers for SkinnyHALO RCII :D

building right now, uploading soon
 
Downloading now


EDIT: Flashed but stuck in boot loop. :( Gonna recover from nandroid, re-download then flash again.

EDIT 2: No go. Keeps looping on the Boost splash screen. I thought the problem was cause I had flashed without wiping anything so I recovered an older nandroid, but still won't boot up. The Boost logo keeps coming up then goes away, comes back up then disappears. Did I do something wrong?

Blah, might be the script again... I'll have to fix in the morning
 
Yeah I just got my zte warp and I was wondering the if you could show me all the steps from the beginning from rooting to flashing this new rom of yours. Last time I tried doing that on my old phone I fudged up and its dead now.... lol
Your help would be much appreciated man thanks. :D :) :) :D

I'm not an experienced rooter, but was guided through on the forum by people here who really know their stuff. I'll list the links recommended to me. I'd suggest looking them over. The instructions work really well, but, heh, stuff happens sometimes. Expert help is here for more guidance.

If your carrier is Boost Mobile, check here for rooting:
http://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-warp-all-things-root/564069-rom-n00b-b10-based-viii-ii-full-install-1-23-2013-a.html#post4511374

If your provider is i-wireless, don't use [n00b (B10 based) VIII.II FULL]. Go here instead:
I Wireless(Kroger) Warp w/Root and Overclock

There are other roms, but nothing like Skinny's HaloBean 8 (I think it's still 8). Just go to the beginning of this thread to get it.

I'm sure some other folk will jump in with suggestions, but now you have somewhere to start reading and/or rooting ;)

Since you know about rooting and custom roms, I assume you know about custom recovery too, like clockworkmod? To root and install cwm recovery, you need only to flash a little zip file. We also have a touch recovery, but I don't suggest it because if your screen breaks and you want to make a nandroid to back up everything from your phone so you can restore your data to a new device, then you're pretty screwed. So cwm is my choice :)

After that, you can download the rom zip in the first and second posts of my thread. If you want HaloBean 8, you will find it in the first post. In the second post, I also have two release candidates; one for HaloBean 9 (Release Candidate 11) and one for SkinnyHALO ROM (RC2). I suggest you try out HB9 since it has more improvements, its slimmer, faster, and more stable than HB8. Its more that stable enough for regular use :D I don't reccoment SkinnyHALO since the install script is broken in it.

This method will only work for the Boost Mobile ZTE Warp however, as other carriers will not have data if you flash a rom from a different carrier.

EDIT: Just saw aimzzz's post, that is another root method. But if the user wants this rom specifically, its easier to just download the recovery and the rom instead of two roms ;)


Custom recovery is here:http://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-warp-all-things-root/609899-guide-easy-root-method-works-w-b10-update-1-28-2013-a.html

The detailed instructions will show you how to install the custom recovery of your choice :)

HaloBean 9 RC11 is here: https://copy.com/WpHUwoxGeA0aVXjE

Now this is really important: You must download these two via a wifi connection only, not through mobile data. If you do download via mobile data, the rom zip will break and it may even fail to install. If it does install, you'll run into many issues after flashing.


Sorry for the excessively long post, just wanted to be really thorough to grant you some security since you messed up your other phone :o

Just my luck ... I really start to enjoy my Warp and it dies :( The charging port broke. So the husband git me a Samsung Rush for now .... I miss my Warp.
Click to expand...

the rush seems like a nice smartphone, I wouldn't get it unless it had a bigger screen. I nearly broke my charging port too, but since I have a dev unit I have a bit more security with my other Warp.

Sorry to hear about your Warp though :/

Lol... well I did say I'm inexperienced :)

HaloBean 8 was great for me with i-wireless as carrier, but I did have to use a different root method (as stated above)... I Wireless(Kroger) Warp w/Root and Overclock

Just a FYI. I changed phones-- don't know if new updates in different HB8 builds would make a functional difference after rooting Warp on i-wireless ... just sayin' :p

It wouldn't as I haven't touched the data patches

okay now here's the doozy part... I went ahead and rooted the phone but instead of CWM recovery i used TWRP recovery. Everything was going well I backed up everything getting all set to flash your ROM, which is awesome btw then when I had it the problem that I had when I first got the phone still persisted!

The only reason I was flashing custom ROM's in the first place was to get rid of all the lag, the freezes, and random reboots that kept going on. I've read all the forums on how people were having the same ordeal as me.

Needless to say your Rom minimized all that but it still does the same thing more or less.
EDIT: I just realized that the link you gave me was Halobean 9 did you update you ROM yesterday?

Give it a day or two to settle in, the rom has to rebuild parts of the system on its own. Reboot it a few times and it'll greatly reduce it the first day. I usually only reboot once every 90 hours. It's like a new computer in a way; some things have to get set up, and you gotta reboot it a couple of times for things to finish setting up.

EDIT: I'm going on 36 hours of uptime, no rebooting otherwise that number would've been cleared. I'm gonna leave it on and see how much it can really go. Also, yes I gave you HB9. Its not an update, but its a massive improvement. I suggested it because I'm running it myself and its more than good enough for daily use now. In fact, I may release it as is later today. The only issue is wifi tethering/ usb tethering. For some users that will not be an issue, but for others its a bit of a drawback. Everything else in the rom is actually really great imo.
