Root [Boost Mobile] Roms?

i just read an article on twitter about a cyanogen mod installer due in the app store in the coming weeks

" in the coming weeks" is they key word. There's really no schedule for release.


You already can flash cm from recovery... There's really no need for a separate program
 
Understood, but they have many battles ahead of them as far as paying the community for work they've done. Not to mention getting everyone that liscensed their work under GPL to be covered under other liscenses


Out of the hundreds of people that maintain their devices whether officially or unofficially... They hired 8.

They've still got an uphill battle ;)

I agree and thanks for the extra info.

It is certainly going to be interesting seeing how things progress.
 

Hmmm, that's not good. Xplodwild developed CM10 for my tablet, the TF300T Asus Transformer. He did one helluva job too. Sorry to see him go for sure.

Hopefully they will set aside their differences and he will rejoin the team. After reading the article, it's not looking good though. We shall see.

Thanks for the update Rxpert.
 
An update for you guys running MOAR. I went ahead and decide to overclock. So far so good. This phone is flying!

Kernel- Ktoonsez overclocked
Max- 1674
Min- 135
I/O- ROW
GOV- Lagfree

Stable as can be! :D
 


On the plus oopo isn't a slouch all their phones are top of the lines build quality and hardware is good
 
I've been overclocking I'm at 2 gigs. Our govs are the same im stable also. I've been eyeing hyperdrive any thoughts

That's a go on Hyperdrive from what I've read. I might just decide to give it a go too bro.

It's going to be hard to beat MOAR though. Hyperdrive may be fast but so is my set up with MOAR. Don't know if my running ADW EX has anything to do with it but I have a feeling it does. ADW EX has always increased speed on everything I've ever ran it on.

A heads up for those of you running MOAR. I had some trouble with Drop box. I couldn't get it to restore from any of my backups. Decided to use the Arama installer and install it from the apps provided by Tean NOOBZ. Still didn't install after the flash but it did finally install after choosing it during install and them installing it from Play. It's installed and that's what counts. :D
 
i'm on moar again just for the overclock! and i noticed my brightness slider in the pull-down disappears when my battery gets low not a problem but it doesn't re appear when its fully charged.

Incase anyone else is having this problem, and doesnt know how to turn it back on just go into the MOAR Mod Controls and toggle the display brightness slider off and on! and your all set!

That's a known bug with the rom. It'll disappear each time you reboot

There's lot of little things like that which I hope get patched in the new update.
---------------------------------------

So for my own knowledge... Are you guys able to flash pretty much any sprint ROM or kernel?

I know MMS or data might be wonky and need a fix, but I'm just trying to understand if anything needs to be changed in order to flash it.
 
I never ran the MMS Fix. A buddy texted a picture of his lunch to me and I got it.

I did send him a picture back and it said that it sent. Not sure if he got it.

I am running MOAR with the ktoonsez kernel.

I am not overclocking but I tried the Performance Governor and it is plenty fast. Trying out the Battery Saver to see if I can stand it. So far so good.

Just switched to ADW EX after Biker recommended it. Gonna keep it. It reminds me of my Prevail setup, only SOOO MUCH BETTER!
 
For you guys running MOAR I'd really suggest giving the DKP kernel a try. Pair it with freelunch governor

Look at the date that MOAR was last updated.. 6/17 I believe. If your using the built in kernel options your missing any kernel progress that's been made in the past 3+ months.

I mentioned ktoonz issues with reporting correct CPU values in the past, and I'm really not sure if that 3+ month old kernel is a fixed one or not
 
Well apparently I can receive MMS but not send. It says they are sent but they are never received.

Time for the MMS fix.

Wy, I had the same thing happening to me before doing the MMS fix. We can receive them just not send. We have to go in and set it to Boost instead of Sprint and also make the # change in proxy below it. Everything you need is in the MMS fix posted.

The good news is that it's looking like the MMS fix carries over to other ROMS once you've made it.
 
Would it be possible to get all the info and maybe some of the roms that work on our phone all organized and in a topic / sticky?

Ive had the phone since july and haven't even bothered to root and now i come back and see soo many different topics about things and don't even know where to start !

Well, basically most all of the Touch Whiz ROms from Sprint will work. You may have to do the MMS fix or even flash the PiggyBack zip but that should take care of MMS and data. Always to a profile update after flashing any of these ROMS too!!

As for the AOSP ROMS, people in here are running them. If you decide to try one I would go ahead and flash a ROM like Wicked Sensations or MOAR and do the MMS fix then profile update. It seems to stick after it has been done the 1st time. As for data on AOSP ROMS, Capn069 has posted the he achieved data after flashing the PiggyBack zip.

The only 2 I have tested thus far are Wicked Sensations and MOAR. Both of them are fully functional. I've been meaning to try another ROM but I'm finding it hard to pull myself away from the MOAR ROM. It's NICE! :D

Would you mind starting a thread detailing (and linking necessary files) a "how to" for the different steps you've mentioned?

I'd be happy to add it to the all things root sticky in this subforum :D

I don't mind at all. I'm going to get on it right now. It will take me some time to put it together so it will be a little while. I'll have it complete tonight.

No worries about the timeline. I'm headed to bed and will check back sometime tomorrow;)
