Root [ROM][ALPHA] Quattrimus ICS

I just had a problem when I tried to turn the phone up to 1300 after flashing the new release. Voltage Control said that my phone wasn't rooted. I went in to SU and changed my security setting to allow all and it solved my problem.

I just wanted to post this if any of you had the same problem and needed to know what to do.


New release is running great BTW. :-)
 
hey tdm amazing work and in the first post you said how to fix the carrier problem but im a noob and even though you explained it i still dont understand how can you explain differently?

I believe this is the same problem I was having, you probably rooted with the same ZVC version I did and kept on the Sprint baseband. The easiest thing I found was to flash back to Bloodawns ZV4 rooted stock version, then reflash to CM9. Let me know if I'm way off :p

My marquee has just been invaded by pink unicorns... :D

Hi TDM,

I just did a little reading about AOKP (unicorns), but I am curious to know what you think are the benefits compared to cm or even stock. I ask because there are a lot of differing opinions about anything and everything in these forums. Was just interested in your or any others take on the matter.

It's nice to learn as I follow all of these developments. Thank you!
 
I don't really know how to make it more clear. Perhaps someone else can walk you through your issue.

Install tools for ADB on your computer:
http://androidforums.com/faqs/443072-adb-guide-updated-12-05-2011-a.html

Put the Android folder on the root of your C:\ drive on your computer.

Enable USB Debugging on your phone. (settings>applications>development>enable usb debugging)

Plug your phone into your USB port. Do not turn on Storage mode.

Open a command prompt window on your computer (start>run>cmd)

navigate to your c:\ directory by either of the following:
(1) use the command cd.. to back up until all you see is c:\
(2) type cd c:\ into command prompt

once you see c:\ type the following
cd android\sdk-tools (assuming you didnt rename the folder)

you are now in the SDK directory. make sure your phone is ready by typing adb devices. This should display your device serial number letting you know it is reading the device.

from there its as simple as typing adb shell to initiate followed by
echo "install.model=XX855" > /sdcard/.install.prop

xx will be your model/version (refer to OP) i.e if you are on Boost it would be LG855

NOTE YOU MUST INCLUDE THE . BEFORE THE WORD INSTALL

once completed type exit in the command window to exit. you can either enable usb storage to view your SD card or use a program like root explorer to navigate to the SD Card, but you will now see a file named .install.prop.

When you flash the rom, it will read this file to ensure it runs the correct installer for your model/version.

if your still stuck, get familiar with ADB before attempting again as you will more than likely run into problems later with an alpha release that some BASIC adb knowledge will help with. Just search "adb basics"

Remember, google is your best friend.
 
On another note, I dug around in some of the .xml and apn settings and still haven't found anything helpful for the MMS issue.

Everyone has different tastes.

Generally speaking, AOKP has more customization and UI features than CM. So if you like that sort of thing, give it a try when it comes out.
 
Hmm, now Pandora is cool with my VM855. I wonder if it only checks the model at first run?

VM855 users -- if the VM855 model prop is giving you issues, let me know and I can investigate overriding them in the build to say LS855.
 
AOKP test rom is here.

This should have all the base latin languages (EN, ES, FR, IT, DE).

It also has ril.v3 signalstrength set and dalvik cache on /data instead of /cache.

Please let me know how it goes.

Edit: Forgot the RIL changes, 3G will not work. Please wait until Monday if you need 3G.

Are you going to continue to work on CM9 as well? Just curious.
 
Your hard work is greatly appreciated. In the midst of typing this my haptic feedback stopped for about 40 secs then my phone vibrated for about 10 secs and now works fine. My camera doesn't work but I'm OK with that. I know it will eventually. Overall I'm pleased. Thanks again.

Updated the AOKP ROM with 3G changes.

New md5=8a32936d9a7cc2c6b9baabae155bca1d.

I haven't tested this build yet, please let me know how it works.
I'm pumped! I've heard a lot of good things about AOKP and have been wanting to give it a spin.

Can we expect this AOKP build to have the same issues as your CM9alpha3(mms, speakerphone, gps, camera, etc.)?

Amazing work man! Everyone's really been great on these forums. I'm not a developer(yet) but I have brought my Marquee back from the dead and do know quite abit so I help where I can. :)

@TDM
Hey man can you start a AOKP ROM thread? Anyone have any screenshots of AOKP?
