Root [ROM][PORT] Sharp ROM 2.2.2 for the Triumph (Updated: 12/16/12)

Hey bsydes, i have run this rom for a week with no issues, 2 small details the status bar and sharp ui froze randomly but only once and phone was still usable, and i noticed if u run wifi for an extended period the phone will drop data completly until restart, other than that it is great, i have a brand new triumph arriving today cause this ones kinda wacky, and that may fix my issues, ill update accordingly. Also is this a virgin stock rom or another companies rom, i was thinking of trying to get activations working on it and would be easier if was a virgin rom, that would def. Set this rom far ahead if not already has done so
 
Also, I can't seem to get the thunder.prop to stick, I purchased a game but now can't see it. When I could, it was coming up incompatible.
I have run into this once or twice, forgot to mention it in my first reply. What I did was go in to the play store on my computer and installed it there then it downloaded to my phone fine and I could install it after that. The play store has been acting funny sometimes for about a month or two. There are times that I will try to install an app and it will give an error and the next day it will work fine. Hope this helps for now.
I don't know if it's been mentioned but I am having trouble with my facebook and google accounts. None of my facebook contacts are in my phone even though it says it syncs them. I've tried to re sync them and have removed all my accounts and added them again. Any ideas?
I don't use the facebook app or a few others because of information that they gather. So, somebody who uses it is gonna have to chime in on that one. But, I have had no issues at all with my google accounts syncing. Did you try adding facebook first to see if it would sync?

I can't say that I have had any of those problems. The UI freeze could have been a million different things and since you only saw it once I would chalk that up to a random occurrence unless more people see it happen. It seems that the 3G not reconnecting has only been reported by you. Did you cycle airplane mode, like before? Also some people had issues with older versions when wifi was on and not connected and gps on at the same time, it would knock out all of their phone signal and 3G. But that doesn't sound like what is happening here.

This is not a Virgin Mobile ROM, I am looking in to adding all the bells and whistles, like activation, but just haven't gotten around to it. There are dependencies in lib, framework, app, and the hidden partition, plus symlinks need to be created, and all that has to work in harmony. Over the next few weeks, and after some more feedback about possible bugs, I will be putting together possibly a final version. Hopefully I can get the two fixes added into the ROM, and work out any bugs. There are a lot of people using this now, and the more people we have on Ver6, the easier it will be to get this as perfect as possible. I've been getting busy lately with work, so time is a little short right now, but I do try to work on stuff as I find time.

Thanks for the feedback everybody, keep it coming!
 
Having same issue with cm7. Never had it happen before. It shows contacts but won't pull pic and information. I'll try searching Google.
 
Ok, well. I tried reinstalling the rom (repeatedly), and I still have charging issues even with minimal modifications:

Adding accounts and sync
Setting up wifi
Downloading a few google apps and cpu spy

It takes a bit of time before it starts acting up, but it always does. I need my phone everyday, otherwise I'd test it completely clean. I'm going to chalk this up to a ghost in the machine. Thanks for all of the help. This is a great rom, but I have to go back to MIUI since I figured out how to fix the GPS on that. Even so, this rom's GPS lock is 100x faster. I'm going to miss that.

Before I go, here are a few more bugs I came across:

-USB tethering doesn't work for me. Only google.com loads, nothing else. Wifi tethering works fine.
-Wifi/data will stop working after extended periods of time ~18-48hrs of being on. I have to toggle them on and off or reboot to get them working again.
-I did get a few random reboots. They seem to happen when the internet was being accessed, like downloading a large file.
 
Found answer to my fb issue in the general triumph section. Culprit was updated fb app. Found version 1.7.2 apk and it syncs now.
 
i recieved the new phone installed the rom right after activating, the old phone didnt run as well, the location in maps is a little off with wireless location on and gps off, gps on fixes right away registering within a foot of actual location, and the wifi still losses data aafter about an hour of standby. the only common issues i can see between 2 phones. i used gps for first time in navigation, it runs mint!!! but turned music on after was done with talking guidance "happened only once may be just chance"...
 
I'm bout to drop another froyo port and you guys that like the old, more stock, look should like it, except this time I'm starting with the GB system theme, cause it was the same as the original Sharp ROM. I am testing everything now. But I will release it as a beta if absolutely everything is not working, but it should. It should be up tonight or tomorrow.
 
BSydz, I see you're reaching close to a final version; good job. After I finish my app(I plan on finishing it by Tuesday, I been slacking off too way many days) I'll make you a bad ass kernel to go with this ROM.
That would be awesome. Man if you want to work on some kernels I have big ideas, GB ideas. PM me, I have source code and other stuff, just haven't gotten into building kernels yet. I need a Triumph zimage and a lil bit of info on what needs to be added to the ramdisk for the OC stuff, cause now there are two ports with the kernels done the same way, with the same zimage. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the follow up. I left facebook and youtube in my new port, I didn't update the facebook app just in case. It is still in beta, but it is basically fully functional, just found it today and applied most of the fixes I had to do for the Sharp ROM, got most of them but missed a couple, that's why it is beta.
As with any other rom, I can flash complete stock, then re-flash the sharp rom or restore my nandroid backup correct?
This is just like any other custom ROM, wipe when you switch and try not to restore app data across ROMs. There have been issues restoring this and other froyo ROMs with CMW 5.5.0.4, but 5.0.2.7 works fine.
 
BSydz, take me off the charging problem list, seems to be doing fine now. Had my phone with me all day, ~11 hours and popped it on the charger and it show 53% charge, not bad! The other day I noticed it was done charging in a hour or two, just like it did with my other roms.

One quirk I found is that when using a guest wireless connection as I do at work, in the past when I enabled wireless connection and opened a google page it automatically took me to the TOS page for me to check the "I agree..." box to use the free wireless. When I tried today, no wasy no how could I get that page to come up, so I never go connected to guest wifi. Any suggestions?
 
BYydz, I want to say "thank you". This is an awesome ROM. I have been using it for the past two wks now and loving it.

I want to know if you do have a way to increase the 3G speed as there is a thread flowing around from G60.

You are great, BSydz, and keep up the great work!

Thanks!

Thanks for following up and more feedback. I might know what is going on but If you PM me I will give you a link to test, that you shouldn't have to reinstall anything, and I'll explain in more detail later. It is a simple fix to do with the wifi. I'll start putting it together tomorrow. But it is just a hunch.

Thank you. I have been reading and keeping up on the thread but haven't tried it myself. I know my 3G sucks, cause all of my friends with sprint have terrible 3G where I live. I do think however that the network priority scheme is most of our problem, it seems like they give priority to IPs also like google sites and services, for one. But those are just my thoughts. I have gotten crazy speeds in different areas but never a big difference in the same place.

The main thing I miss in this ROM are the touchscreen fixes, especially with regards to the finger release detection issues. It's annoying to have to be extra careful when trying to click something so that when you release your finger it doesn't move the item, and therefore nullify the click action you are trying to perform.
 
So I came back to this ROM for the GPS awesomeness and I'm getting that compatibility issue that someone has brought up here. I tried flashing thunder.prop which didn't work. I tried flashing the stock sharp ver6 build.prop and that didn't work either. Dolphin HD browser not compatible? nowaiz! haha XD
Is there a different way to fix this without having to download thru browser on Google Play?

I'll see what I can do, I just gotta do some reading, and find out how to do it.

I think it is a Play Store issue, cause I just had dolphin on mine a day or two ago before I flashed the U9000 ROM to test yesterday. I think google may be using more info than just what the thunder.prop is changing now. You can try out the U9000 ROM as it has the same GPS performance but I can't say it's as smooth, I just put it together yesterday. Gapps came in that ROM so there may not be as many compatibility issues, but now I can use it to work out the kinks in the Sharp ROM.
 
I just got my triumph yesterday and rooted and flashed this rom and it is amazing but I only got 1 1x signal bar and it was super slow and I know its not just the area I'm in cause I'm on starship rom now and I'm getting 3g service.

The 1x is the phone and the pop out will tell you if the data is at 3G or 1x. I noticed on first flash, with just about any ROM, data is a little slow but picks up after a reboot or two. I just got 22ms ping 117kbps down consistently, with agps on actually knocking data down to 1x, I don't think 1x is supposed to be that fast, but on 3G I get pings from 200ms up to 1000ms. I also get different results from different servers. I will do more tests but, I think you just need some more time on the ROM to see if it was the ROM or the network. Thanks for trying it out and providing feedback.
 
About to release Ver7, network location has been fixed and a few other details touched up. I am still testing it but everything seems good to go. I will be releasing it with the GB system theme and a few other tweaks. I'm sure you guys will like it, you'll just have to wait a few hours to try it out.

Man I'm glad I live in an area with good sprint coverage. On 3g, I usually get between 1100-1700kBps on two bars, I haven't been able to test when it says 1x.
 
Ver7 is up, new screenshots and all. I have not tested it over Ver6 only from fresh installs. I changed a lot of stuff so let me know if you find any bugs.
 
Hello, been using this ROM for about two weeks. Its great, so Thank You Bsydz for all your time and work. I just have some questions. Can i do a dirty install of ver 7 over ver 6 or do I have to do a full install? Is ver 7 that much different than ver 6? My MT is working great maybe I should stop tinkering with it and just use it as is (but thats kinda hard) Lastly, what things can I safely delete from this ROM without messing it up. I use Go launcher EX, so can I delete sharp launcher or does it somehow still use parts of it. Thanks again This ROM is awesome, and so are you. :)
