[I896] Firefly or Phoenix 2.2.1 version 4.5

Hello All,
I have the Rogers Captivate i-896 and recently moved over from a Bell I-9000 GTM. Reason why I moved from I9000 is due to the scare that most of the Bell Versions weren't flash friendly.
Due to my bad experience in the past, I just want to double check before I flash any roms. My two big interests lately have been either the Firefly ROM or Pheonix 2.2.1 version 4.5. Just wondering, anyone on XDA with a Rogers I896 that is currently running any of these ROMs with no issues at all?
Sorry if this is a repeat. I'm just not about to read 800 pages through the thread. Thanks a lot and your feedback will help a lot!

I too would love to know the answer to this.

Firefly all the way!
The only flaw I have found in it is the SMS timestamps, that can be fixed by installing SMS time fix from the market.
Its infinately customizable. (there is a huge thread based on it and pheonix here, alot of the Pheonix stuff will work on it as well)
It also does not apply the AT&T boot screen on startup, so if you do have any warranty issues getting back to stock is all that much easier.
I'm currently running it and its great!
Its also based on our stock rom.........Whats better than that

I'm gonna try out firefly right now. Will post if I run into any issues. Thanks
PS @nickm50 so my understanding is that you said that Phoenix themes is compatible with firefly right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using Tapatalk

Some of the parts of them are. I don't believe the whole themes are. But there are firefly themes in the thread as well.
I know the dialers and boot screens work 100% for sure.

Flashing as we speak.. thanks for the feedback

Can I theme the Stock Dialer on the Fire Fly ROM? Or, will I screw things up if I flash this?

That will work! I'm running their green one right now

Dammit. Now I feel like a noob, with the question I am about to ask...........
Sooooo, the old way I flashed the rom is not working for me. I am installing Clockwork Mod Recovery via Rom Manager, and then I keep clicking "Reboot into Recovery Mode".. I've done this process over and over atleast 5 times, and its not booting into CWM Recovery. What do I do?
I am trying the OneClick ODIN, but it doesn't give me an Option of which ROM file to flash..
HELP?!

Have you got firefly installed?

What do you mean? I downloaded the ROM and put it on my SD Card.. But, its just a matter of getting into Clockwork Mod Recovery so I can flash it.. I know what to do in Clockwork, just don't know why its not booting into Clockwork Mod.. :??

power down the phone.
boot into recovery manually vol-/vol+ and power
when you get into recovery choose reinstall packages.

USB tethering problem

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161308

thank you for that atleast your trying to correct yourself lol..
now as far as tethering goes it was really random with me on liquid and kifno roms it just dosnt work on them i tried different kernals but no dice if you want to stay on a 2.1 sense rom i highly recommend using nfx stock with apps2sd its by far the most stable one and everything works. because its pretty much just the ruu rooted with apps2sd.

Ok, I'll try that, but I really like this ROM and would like to learn how to fix problems with other people's ROMs, if possible, hence my DEV post. Devs should know how to do that. Are you a dev? There has to be a way. Reverse engineer, analyze logcats, update swap out drivers, etc.?

you cant post threads asking questions in development you need to go to the specifc roms thread and post your question there instead. also liquid isnt supporting his 2.1 roms anymore so it might be hard to get a fix for it.

I've experienced the same problem with more than one ROM and have tried that approach to no avail. Downloading and flashing an ENTIRELY NEW ROM because one or two things doesn't work with the current ROM is like throwing the baby out with the bath water, and a very VERY NOOB thing to do. There has to be a way to diagnose issues and fix them in ROMs in general. Someone knows how to do it. And coincidentally USB tethering in the ROM you suggested isn't working for me again! However I installed the wired tether from Google and that is working.. ATM, which did not work with the other ROM.

I didn't see any such rule listed ANYWHERE. And it wasn't your womanly nagging and griping and complaining that caused me to post here, it was my attempt to get my question answered. Your whining gave me justification for a "cross post"-if you will. You wanna be a moderator don't you? Reminds me of this.

Bottom line is, your ranting like a woman didn't help, neither you nor I could change the location of my post even if it really WAS posted in the wrong place, and furthermore, though it was moved, there is no rule stating I can't post questions as a new thread in development.

there ya go

why do u think your thread was moved if it wasnt in the right section?

First compiled ICS boot.img and system.img - not bootable -

1. It is not from me. I just found it on Google+.
2. I have not tested it myself.
3. This is highly experimental and can brick your phone.
Ok, if like living risky, here is finally the link:

EDIT:
Sorry, this is not a real ROM, just some system files compiled for P990. Maybe some rom maker can do anything with this?
I thought it is a real ROM but it is not.

interesting! ^_^

Anyone flashed this already?

its not, but this is a good start.

it's ok.. im also excited for the ICS porting

Maybe someone can try it by nvflash.

I wonder if lox has made any progress since he dropped this.

http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/weekly-builds/
there is link for ICS for 17 different phones. i downloaded ICS for my Optimus 2X Star and it works fine.
Full wipe and done ^^ try it out and post some taughts!
Edit.
Now that i check some of the options and "about Phone" section i noticed that this rom don't know my real SD card size...
It is 32Gb and it only shows 5.50Gb :S thats odd.
What seems to be a problem :S
And of course Backup first

But this is not stock ICS, right? It is a MIUI ROM with ICS as base?!

Yeah thats right but well it's start you know
Please enlight me more by testing it.
What you think?^^

I believe I saw a thread about this MIUI ICS-like ROM on a czech android board and guy who tried that mentioned that it's just 2.3.7 base with edited build.prop

It's not ICS, its just MIUI with ICS theme and build.prop edited to display 4.0. Fake!

Well it works like 10x faster than v20L official Gb release from LG or MCR release so it's enought to me
For now!
And they got auto updates straight to the phone

Dunno if this is real only fake - Galnet said he integrated the ICS framework into MIUI that's all...maybe reverse engineered from SDK, maybe not, but I have a good performance, stability and fast internet access, that's what I'm caring about

Why should he do reverse engineering?
The sources are on AOSP since some days...

Did you already try it yourself? NEVER I REPEAT NEVER release a ROM, without having tried it yourself... Noone wants a ROM, that probably bricks ones phone...
Ok, it's proved to work, obviously.
Sorry for my criticism then, but I have already seen a lot of guys publishing their stuff, without testing and then bricking a lot of noobs devices... quite uncool Hope you feel what I mean
---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------
Ok, I am still about to test it, so I cant say much on this right now, but I already have one thing, pls dont use my nandroid. Better flash a fresh rooted version by Serg... in the dev section, since my nandroid and Redys repack might contain bugs, that I brought in, in order to be able to root the phone. I changed a lot of settings and probably a lot of files through this and I dont know, if this bug wont keep on being in your ROM then and might cause failures. So this is the first thought

Ok, short run, and I gotta confess, it is FAST and very reactive. Good point.
Found a few bugs though.
And I am not a fan of the HTC look, but that's not important, I think some ppl like it a lot.

Here the bugs/things I would change.
Lockscreen: I dont like the LG look, i prefere the one Huexxx found/DxDiag32 ported or even the CM7 one, like this:
Remove the Musicplayer from notification, since it is without function:
Remove Widgets, that dont work:
Add reboot and recovery reboot option here:
Nice Widgets are in there as well:
And they are resizeable:
Pretty cool
So all in all, a cool ROM, but still need some work
And like I said, maybe use a clean v20n german ROM to begin with, even though it is really smooth.
A custom kernel plus some more governors would be nice, to make it completely laag free, but you could also at least implement the new kernel without turning off softkeys. Pretty easy, if you work with the kitchen
I would take the one with stock LG kernel, but DVFS disabled, cause then we can use apps like SetCPU, without a lagging/freezing phone and set stuff the way, we want it to.
Hope it helps you a bit

Tnx nooby im going to work on it but abouth the lockscreen i was thinking if htc lockscreen.

This is not my work.
This Rom is ported by spegelius. I've found this here: http://forum.slimroms.net/topic/100-galaxy-s4-active/
Everything seems to be ok.
Bugs:
720p video recording produces crap video(but 1080p works fine)
HDR
Download:
-Rom
-Gapps
Screenshots:
I am sorry I posted in General but i couldn't post in Development.

Thanks for making this more public, this way more people will get the chance to try it
Just one important hint, @spegelius didn't port it, he compiled that beast from Source, which is an important fact
I can confirm that this is a good, daily driver for sure!

Oh hey, thanks for putting this up . I never got around to it, didn't seem that too many users were interested about it. But good to hear it works for people. And about the build, i used LeJay's kernel sources etc to make it happen.

Happy to know about this! Already dowwloaded it but I need my phone working this weekend and I can't risk to have any kind of problem, I will surelly try it as soon as I get home next week.
Thanks a lot! Hope more people start working on I9295, my son's Moto G just got the OTA 4.4 update, lucky him!

What Android version is this based on? 4.2, by any chance? I was foolishly hoping that it could work with Safestrap for us suckers without the international variant.

It's 4.3.1. For non-international S4 Active, there would need to be proper kernel at least...

Install the rom? Flash it with CWM. Install the kernel? Well i don't know about other devices than Intl S4 Active, but inst it like, even if there was such kernel, it can't be flashed due to locked bootloader?

This looks good. Has anyone (besides spegelius) flashed it? I'm reasonably satisfied with my rooted 4.2.2 stock ROM and really want to move to 4.4. On my SIII I already had KitKat and now I have to settle with 4.2
Cheers

I installed this ROM but google play acts strange. It doesn't reinstall all my packages and still refuses to install for instance swype. I chose for the aroma gapps but will do a new wipe and try another gapps
Cheers

Must have been the gapps. Up and running now and reinstalling apps. Looks good
Cheers

I have several issues. My titanium restored Wi-Fi passwords are disappearing each time. The phone discharges as fast as it is charging. It will probably be empty after 1 hour on battery.
I think I will switch to my LG G2 I recently acquired... any ideas?
Cheers
