Everything working beautifully as far as I can tell, haven't tested MMS, GPS or Wi-fi yet, but flashed over firmware B and booted fine. Data works, radio works, camera works, only thing I had to do is re-root, but just ran the root program as normal from my PC and was back in business.

Thanks a lot GameTheory, if I could I would donate to you but I don't have a paypal... This is a seriously selfless project and it's very much appreciated! Thanks!!
 
Excellent work. Everything flashed and booted just fine. Updating apps, wifi, everything so far is working, except Superuser. I tried to use NoBloat to remove some apps and it said I dont have root access. O.o

Edit: MMS does not work on wifi for me, and it took a try or two after switching to data to get it to send, but it worked.

I don't remember rooting via the computer, was there another way to root from the phone or can someone tell me how to do it via PC? Its been a 'coons age since I rooted this damned thing, lol
 
Thanks Guys ;)

I think a found the why superuser wasn't working. I'll upload the rom again with superuser fixed. I'll post back once it's uploaded sometime today.

I didn't do any changes to mms so that should work as normal. Make sure not to use Hangouts for mms since google is trying to fix that app for sending mms.

If anyone else has flashed this rom, let me know if all is working for you... Thanks.

Yeah, other than SU, everything seems to work ok. I will compile a list of apps I get rid of as soon as I get the updated rom. Thanks again for all your hard work, this is a big step forward :)
 
I'm running into a little snag. I have to re-root using "spirited_away_rctnerfer" in order to reboot into recovery, but when I execute the run.bat file, it "starts daemon successfully" and then sits there forever. I have the drivers installed, but I did notice that the option to enable USB Debugging is grayed out and wont let me turn it on. Any ideas?

I did the same thing until I remembered you have to go into developer options and enable USB debugging, the default setting is to have debugging turned off ;)

I am aware of that. Like I said, I go to enable it and the option is grayed out and won't do anything when I select it to turn it on

Is your phone unplugged from USB when your try to enable it? It will always be greyed out if the phone is plugged into the PC when you try to enable it.

No, turns out I needed to select "Internet Connection->Modem" to let it install the last of the drivers. As for the option to turn on debugging, i always have it plugged in and then go and select it, it just wouldnt let me without installing the last of the drivers. Now I have another issue. I have root but when I use the app to reboot into recovery, it just reboots normally. First time I did it, my phone reset and now I have to start over. Oh well, at least I have root
 
To use the recovery app you must first click on "Recovery apply!" then you'll get a popup that says "OK". After that you can click on "REBOOT!" to get into recovery.

Note:
The rom comes with a themed version of the recovery app that can be accessed from the settings menu. I changed the recovery app's icon to dark bg with red skull in case you don't recognise it.

Yeah, I know how to get into it, its just not working this time around. Not entirely sure why. Oh well
 
Holy crap, I didn't think we would ever get a rom. I've been applying the hardware updates and 12A just came out. Any idea if root is possible from this yet?
 
I couldn't get past activation.

EDIT: Nevermind, I removed my battery and the SIM card and replaced them again so it worked fine :) Thanks for all the hard work, it's a very stable rom from what I can see. All I wish for is a better notification shade :)
 
GT, if you decide to improve/update this ROM in the future, one app you can leave out is "System Update", then no one will have to worry about the update prompt in the notification bar. I stared at that thing for months before I figured out what to delete, lol
 
Since I don't own this phone you have to post the exact name of the apk otherwise I might not find it. Remember I need the apk name not the app name.
 
Of course, how silly of me. It's "MobileUpdateClient.apk"

Do you have any plans for an update in the future? Not rushing, just curious
 
I'm testing this ROM and also keeping a log of notes in Keep of things I notice about the ROM for future development. This is what I have so far:

1. Font size errors in Settings. (Screenshot included)

2. Remove large VZW Wi-Fi box in the Notif Shade, and put a Wi-Fi icon in the toggles bar. (Screenshot included.)

3. Remove System Update (MobileUpdateClient.apk)


I also had a force restart of my device when I started up Clash of Clans, but it only happened once. Not sure if this is worth reporting.


I know you don't have a device to work with, but I would be more than willing to test for you since I use this phone.
