Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

No mater what I do I can't get this mod to install correctly. I've tried several times with CTMOD 2.0. I've used the EE14 with CWM and Hoark image with odin. I've used several version of CWM5. Actually I've tried everything I can think of and it still bootloops. Not sure what is going on actually.

Here is what I did:

-I odin to EE14 with CWM and Hoark
-I installed CTMOD 2.0 from zip using CWM
-I reboot
-always loops at the Galaxy Prevail Login screen.
-There has to be something I'm doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

2.0 is for gingerbread only, it says that in the first post

if you want to use ctmod on froyo you gotta use 1.2
 
blood, are those zips for 3g speed included in update or do we have to flash them seperate

nah those are just for testing right now, you can try them out and see which one works best if you want

I have installed google search and voice search. Is their a way to link either one to the search button? You are great in your guidance. (I love alliteration.)

and just to clarify, would hroarks google apps zip work with this?

But seriously you are most helpful.

try pulling GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk out of the app zip in the first post and move it to /system/app then reboot and see if your button works

his gapps might work, idk

Anyway to directly update from CTMod 1.2 to CTMod 2.0 without losing any data, just upgrading the OS?

nah

you could probably use titanium backup to backup and restore some of your stuff if you wanted

Thanks Bloodawn! Worked like a charm! I'll try the gapps a little later. I really like this mod by the way. I'll be sending you a little something once it posts to my account.

That's what I was trying to install actually. I finally figured a way to get CTMOD 2.0 installed perfectly.


  • Put the CTMOD 2.0 zip on your sdcard first before you do this
  • Use ODIN and install FRESH install of (DOWNLOAD EJ06 Gingerbread Rooted Image with CWM5 made by Chin Checka)
  • When the install is complete reboot, make sure to hold Volume up and Power button to go into CWM.
  • In the CWM screen, reset factory settings
  • Mounts options -> Mount all the partitions (just in case).
  • Press Back
  • Install from zip -> choose the CTMOD 2.0 zip.
  • When it finishes reboot the phone
  • Your done!
I even got A2SD working great with this!
Thanks for all your help Bloodawn you freaking ROCK!


I'm only having two problems really. When I click on Menu -> Wallpapers -> it saids there is no application to be able to do this. I've installed root explorer and IO file explorer but none of them seem to work. Any ideas?

When I click the camera button on the phone to launch the MUI camera application the Zeam launcher force closes. Though I can launch the application just fine from the application list.

you gotta install a image viewer to change wallpaper. Gallery3D or Quickpic, something like that

the camera button issue is known

I fixed it ;) All I had to do was move the stock Camera.apk back and it fixed the problem. I put an icon on my home screen for the MUI one in case I ever need it. I'm a bit OCD and having broken buttons just aggravates me lol. Doesn't hurt to have more then one camera app really at least for me :)
 
Last question :) I have almost everything running back to normal.

Is there any reason why my Email.apk keeps force closing? I'm guessing there is a missing APK that it needs. I've put it in the system/app folder. Made sure it has the right permissions and such.

The funny part is it worked initially when setting up the account. However when the account setup was done and it was going to load the inbox it Forced Closed. Now it force closes every time I open the application.

Have any ideas?
 
I apologize haven't seen the second one until now.. Downloading it and will get back to you


Ok blood, the first seemed to be much better than the second in fact the second was the lowest of all I forgot to write down the numbers exactly but it was much worse. The first seems to be averaging high 900's download now. Hope this helps, and I love this mod bro

What was the name of the one you got better results with? I'm also getting low 3g rx and would like to give it a whirl. Thanks for being the guinea pig!
 
I really do Love this Mod. And that is saying a lot because I really loved ShabbyMod. This paired with GB is excellent.

I am having problems with bluetooth, which I rarely use since I hate earpieces. Sometimes pair with my GPS but not very often.

Anyway, playing with it today and it basically locked up my phone. It kept sort of resetting back to lockscreen. I could not turn bluetooth off either. I turned Bluetooth on using the buttons on the notifications screen. Have not tried doing it from the Settings menu.

Screen would freeze and reset back to lock screen. Rebooting phone did not help.

I assume it came with Kouma Kernel .1 I tried flashing the modified Optimus kernel, but it did not help.

I did not do a wipe but I restored from my CWM backup from last night after I installed CTMod. I had forgotten how much stuff I had done since that backup. CWM is really a lifesaver.

Anyway, Have not tried reproducing the problem yet, but will after I back up all this stuff I am redoing.

Also, I notice that I cannot restore an app that was a system app when saved with Titanium. User apps are fine. I do not know if this is because of CTMOD, GB, Titanium or A2SD. It gives the window that it is restoring but never completes. Does not matter if I select app only or app and data.
 
Yeah, the Bluetooth phenomenon occurs even if I go to settings and turn on Bluetooth. Although this time when I rebooted, I was able to go back into settings and turn it off. I never could do this the first time when I selected it from the notifications screen.

Probably unrelated question. With GB is it still a good idea to use a program like SD Speed Booster? I have it set to 2048.

Love CTMod!

the bluetooth problem might not be related to the rom cause i saw some other people having the same thing happen that aren't using ctmod

I'm not using one atm but if its not giving you any issues i don't see anything wrong with using a sd booster

I actually do not remember if I even tried to toggle Bluetooth after I installed GB. I do know that GPS works fine.

I reinstalled several apps that you do did not include with the ROM. This is just my personal preference and I understand that. Something to consider for future versions if many others agree.

MAPS
Voice Search
Voice Dialer
Gallery
Google Search

I would recommend bundling A2SD with this although I know some prefer Link2SD for some reason. IMHO there is no comparison.

Excellent job on this and a great enhancement to vanilla GB. I am amazed at the pace and quality of your output.
 
I know this may sound like a slow question but how do I get rid of this and go back to the regular thing? I want to go back I want all the Andriod apps back and such D:
Any help please?
 
just trying for better speeds I removed thes two apk's and what a difference it made. they are usless to me anyway, i dont have speed test, but downloads are much better for me.

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

rockin modd BTW Thank you to ALL involved

wallpaper and bluetooth are the only probs i have had thus far.
I knew of these, just stating that i couldn't find any Other ones..

just put the apps you want back into the zip before putting rom into sd card. Maps i can understand its a big file and free on market. But by removing search/dialer...the search button doesnt work anyone(expect within apps)
Also blood stated he doesnt use A2SD...i think CTMod started as a personal rom he decided to share(*i think!) so...unless he decides to change it..your going to have to do a2sd before hand. Its not that hard really.
 
I cant get any wallpaper to load some error on the screen. i added
Gallery3D.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
VisualizationWallpapers.apk back into the ROM just to see if I could have that VU Meter wallpaper back but doesnt work cant get any wallpaper to come up at all.
"Select wallpaper from
NO application can perform this action" is the error that come on the screen.


#EDIT# ahh I may have not done permissions,oh well tomorrow is another day. nothin better to do anyway.

the sync adapters,
they are like engines that run the sync proccess

as far as the sync's my contact list has gone to 8 copies of each entry untill i took them out. i forgot to turn sync off right away before it did that to me, its a google thing NOT this ROM.
 
Where can I get themes?

From my understanding, the Zeam launcher does not have theme support at the moment. But it is light, fast, and quite elegant. It does not offer as many of "bells & whistles" of some of the other launchers, but it does offer more than stock, and in my opinion is quite capable. With the wallpaper of your choice, you can tailor it to your liking. With launchers, there will be some trade-offs regarding personal preference and feature support.

Personally, i think it was the perfect pairing with this streamlined mod. I really do like Zeam.

@trialnerror: If you scroll up and read some of the previous threads I already asked this question silly. ;)

All you have to do is install QuickPic really or some gallery app. Then use the APP itself to set the wallpaper. Don't use the launchers built in ability as this won't work (well for me it never has lol). I used QuickPic and was able to setup my wallpaper with no fuss. Actually I really love the app... so much better then the default gallery app that came with stock.

@Bloodawn: not sure if you saw my earlier question. I'm still having issues trying to get my Email.apk working. I posted it a few posts up :) Here is a link directly to that post:

I just read about the bluetooth is anyone else having bluetooth issue's?

I also have them, I am not running this but I think I may know why its an issue.

I run deodexed apps and framework, as I see this does, maybe the bluetooth.apk doesnt like it.
