hey.. not rying to step on toes here lol but so far i noticed the only complaint of this rom is the bootanimation.. so again shabby we appreciate the effort you put into making this but i just would like to inform people.. it caused by the boot.img.. so if it really bothers you guys you can take the boot.img from #2.. it's got the stock bootani setup in it so any ones you try to add afterwards should workno trying to encourage a rom switch.. but jus a kernel switch.. they are both the same stock kernel so nothing else should be affected
if anyone needs help on flashing lemme kno i can make a recovery flasher
i dont believe i left the qmg files in, my kernel runs bootanimation.zip files. unfortunatly its my bootanimation.zip that sucks, swapping it using rom toolbox or teh like fixes it

well i used 1.4 as the original base and added my own shit but it still showed your custom bootani untill i removed it from boot.img.. just copy stock files over to yours lol than al was goodi dont believe i left the qmg files in, my kernel runs bootanimation.zip files. unfortunatly its my bootanimation.zip that sucks, swapping it using rom toolbox or teh like fixes it
and im not trying to encourage ppl to use another rom lol jus letting them know my kernel was edited for bootani's
sorry for the confusion

Hey Shabby, we getting updated to 4.3 yet? Since this rom is based off the U.S. Cellular S3 which had received 4.3 already.

what happenned shab, no 1.5.0?
i been out the game for so long now haha feel like i missed so much
i had a mostly working 4.3 rom but many of the bigger changes i made ended in bootloops. i put out the stock based deodex'd early on so people still have options overall :/

yeah man some of those mods aren't easy.. just the reboot options mod had some difficult differences from 4.2 - 4.3.. but looks like it dont matter much anymore anyway since the deadline is closing for cdma devices :/, what would you consider a smart investment for a future device? ill be in the market soon haha..
