[mod][BETA][PATCH] ROM_PATCH V1.2 for ics- full freedom -

I can continue the project if i get proper feedback from you
thanks a lot to amarullz for providing aroma installer, and thanks to nightshack0 I have taken his installer and modded to work for this patch
had you ever feel that another galaxy s variant's forum have a ics rom which suits all your need but you cannot flash it because it is not yet ported to your device but now all this will not happen again with this patch you can install which ROM you want to flash there will be no boundation for you.
this patch will let you flash other I9000 or t959 roms I have not tried it on other variant but you can try and let me know if it works, I have tried to flash a nexus s rom and it was not flashing so just flash and let me know there is no harm no soft brick no hard brick just physical button will not work until you flash this patch or another rom

CONS:- 1. you cannot get the build properties(build.prop) of the rom you are flashing instead you will get the build property which will not be related to any ics rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the patch do not contains any file which can cause a bug and patch will only work on ics roms not gb
For further clarification read FAQ on second post
if you are getting status 7 or getprop error then a little work from your side is needed
extract the rom to a folder then go to /extracted folder/META - INF/com/Google/Android from there open updater-script and remove all getprop lines
come back to META - INF folder and delete all three files
zip the file and flash it in recovery
NOTE:- to edit updater script use jota text editor(android), notepad (windows)

update:- flashed fascinate rom by editing updater script and without resigning got it booted up but it cleared my efs folder so was not getting any network coverage, I got very depressed tried cleared data restore nandroid but nothing works then I thought about efs and with the backup I copy imei files to efs folder and after reboot I got coverage now I will not flash any fascinate rom just for testing but I can say that fascinate rom are working

beta tester requesting you to try this patch please do that

is this just for I9000 roms or can we use others? is so which ones?

this looks promising, im guessing this is just for ICS ROMS on I9000 since the title says "for ics"
Does this apply to ALL ICS ROMS in I9000 or are there specific ones?

Well technically vibrant can flash i9000 roms with some minor issues like key mapping, sound path and gps.
This patch seems to take care of it (in a convenient way) and since ICS kernels seem to play nice it should work for all ICS roms.

I tried flashing this and the milestone 5 from I9000 and it did not work.

Did it just say like Installation Aborted in the Recovery? Or what else happened?
Did you make sure its not a bad download.
Get the .zip on PC and open it with winRAR, if its corrupted/bad download it'll give you errors, if it says nothing, its good and the patch probably needs working on.
Thats really weird too, it should've just flashed right on and even if the patch didn't work, it should've booted up and the capac. buttons would've been flipped etc. no signal (kernel) those would've been issues that are known.

This is amazing documentation.

I can't check the download as I have already deleted it, but I did check that it was a full download. Usually if it is a bad download, it will not be the correct mb size. And I forget exactly what it said when it failed...sorry. Has anyone else tried?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA

sorry but it is not the fault of patch if the rom is not flashing
the patch will just install a working kernel and keylayout files and some minor tid-bits
did you install the rom with twrp kernel which is in the patch and also patch should be flashed again after flashing the rom

I did flash the patch first. Rebooted into recovery and then tried flashing the ROM. No go. ROM flash failed. Why hasn't anyone else tried this patch? Sheesh...scaredy cats? I'm surprised I'm the only one so far...

Seems like you can't flash something I9000 on a T959 recovery?

[ROM] NottachTrix4G Deblured
I just took the ROM NottachTrix4G, tweaked it a little more, improved the busybox, improved gps lock and deblured it a little, I'm sharing it just in case someone needs a stock rom deblured and tweaked. its a zip flashable made with ROM factory (thanks to schwarzlichtkind)
It comes with faux 1.45 kernel but any GINGERBREAD (2.3.4/5/6) Kernel 2.6.32.59 can be used

Just flash by recovery, full wipe is recommended if want to preserve data wipe dalvik and fix permissions

Couldn't get it to boot
Had trouble getting it to boot (with and without a data wipe). Wouldn't even make it to the boot animation.

Have you tried to use ROM factory to create a zip? It preserves nearly everything except personal data. I would like to try to it out, but don't like to change my recovery...

I'm downloading it right now, will test it thx

Always a pleasure. Afaik ROM factory only has(had?) problems with supercharging - it's a damn good tool for the not so experienced cooker/modder.
If you succeed in creating a proper flashable zip, I'll definitely going to try this one out. I'm on maxBLUR v5 right now but I hate the fact that it has no native German language support. No German keyboard layout sucks...

[ROM]Stock Roms *Updated 22/01/13*

​
These stock roms are for users wanting to go backwards. Not for newbies.
Please New users to root or Flashing, if you want root on a stock rom FLASH ROOT.ZIP! do not flash this rom
As people have asked many a time for stock then here you go.
This will give you stock & root. this is mainly for the people that wish to revert back without having to try and reinstall the RUU again.
.DO the triple wipe prior to flashing this as normal people.
Stock as it comes.
Theme
Apps
Etc
Other versions coming, check back regular.
Mediafire links underneath each version for download

Root.Zip file (use with Stock only)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?pypn6v69o0vnvl9
Stock. plain old stock with NO ROOT!
Please be careful on this as theirs no root options to get to recovery menu. it will have to be accessed manually via HBOOT

Stock with root, same as stock but superuser added
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7c0kr5xpba1w6va *Fixed*
Stock with root and apps2sd (For the adventurous ones)
For this version with Apps2sd, the idea is is simple, use this with link2sd only. Once you open the app on this rom you select ext3 and let it mount. if it don't mount then reformat the ext3 partition again.DO NOT USE WITH DATA2SD!

there is no point in having screenshots because you all remember what stock looks like.
these are odex versions, allowing full space given from when you got it new. i give it this way as it lets you do what you want.
The root versions are capable of being used with either scripts listed below.
d2sd
data2sd-ext
data2ext3.
You need to flash this like any other ROM given. Do the triple wipe, if you prefer like me do it twice IE data/cache/dalvik/data/cache/dalvik) This will 99.9% clear any errors when you boot it up. Skipping these or not following correct procedure will in fact fudge it up when it boots up.
If you are using any other the given data2sd, then allow a full first boot inc setup etc the reboot to flash the script.
I have tried this ROM myself and i am happy with the turn out, although i don't like stock anyway lol
Newbies. DO NOT USE LINK2SD IF YOUE WANT INCREASED INTERNAL MEMORY
Disclaimer
I am not responsible for your **** ups.
Use this at your own risk at all times.
Failure to comply with thread rules will result in no help being given when asked.
Please do not use these to modify and make your own from.
These are stock for those that require them. Sod off and create your own!​
I am open to do other region roms but please note they are not same day creation.
upto 72hrs for creation and uploading required.
If you want one, i require the exact RUU your phone came with or your region so i can proceed.
At this point donations are welcome for my time

Update, Urgent - BigBear. I just came home from work and surprisingly the ROM is giving android.process.acore force close errors. Please have a look. I don't know how to send you LogCat details.
Update 1- Earlier when I had installed(triple wipe) it was working fine before I left for work, during the break my brother had called explaining the problem. No Data2EXt script was installed. Trying to reinstall now.
Update 2- Its still giving the same error, Help !!
Update 3- I have gone back to CM development ROM. Any other member can help him I have client meetings scheduled from Sunday onwards . BigBear I can provide you a video of the problem if you desire it.

the idea vigoo is to give the users what they want not send them else where for another custom rom. fshamis roms are good but again its custom an sluggish from stock. i know cos i helped build them.
no offense but yet again, you have suggested using another custom on a thread meant for these only and not the fact that i said in the previous post i will build another set from scratch thus giving users the advanced option of choosing a stock rom which they are asking for.
it feels like your undermining me and taking over on various posts, stop hijacking threads to add information irrelevant to the thread involved regardless of the problem.
if this continues i will step down from RC and walk away, sorry like but its beginning to really annoy me.
If you think im being a bit to irate then pm me, happy to discuses this.

New version hosted up on main post shortly, 3 versions now available. please test accordingly. problems then come see me :good:
these are made from scratch and have taken the last few hrs to make so there shouldn't be any issues. they will require some major updating.....whats the point in stock if you don't update lol. you get as it comes from manufacturer.

Thanks, BigBear again :good::good:
Just a suggestion, while flashing the stock ROM, could you add a link to GB Google apps, so newbies could flash those without the hassles of manual update.

Yes and no lol. Idea is to give stock back with nothing touched. This way its the users choice then otherwise it would he a custom if I replaced stuff lol

Turkish stock added

In "Stock with Root" ROM, when installing any root required app, it prompt root access is not granted. Think something wrong with su.

Try updating your su binary. It will be out of date! Check busybox to. Its stock with basic root so don't expect to much in the way of custom in there.
Sent from my HTC Salsa using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2

there does seem to be some issues with SU on the stock rooted. i myself didn't get any problems with this, but for users that have, please use Stock and add root.zip. this should solve the problems listed till i can rectify whatever is the problem. i will add root.zip to main post.

i installed the stockRoot rom but the superuser app does not work properly it can not update and it does not giving me root access to any program so i can not install busybox to increase my memory. any help about this?
sorry just saw the previously message

Confirmed working S4 ROMS on S4A with SafeStrap

I have started this thread to keep track of working S4 ROMS on S4A with SafeStrap.
I would only try 4.2.2 Touchwiz roms due to are kernel limitation!!
You must flash your module MF1,MF2,MF3 zip for the stock rom you are on! Also menu and back keys need to be configured
I have had no luck getting stock camera to work on any S4 rom even with camera patches.
Due to post count I can not provide links yet!
Confirmed Working:
SHOstock-v2.0 and update to v2.3 (Camera not working) Can use Focale or Camera 360
Confirmed Not Working:
Flight 5 (bootloop)
MDOB MF3 v2.5 (Wll not Flash)

If you get an error saying it isn't compatible because you don't have a 9295 or something you can edit the updater script and remove the compatibility check. I say this because I am currently using the MDOB rom and I love it.

Honestly I don't know what it was. I'm running MF1. Hyperdrive used to work for me but not now. After seeing the new one I have to try again lol. Anyway, I just created a rom slot, flashed the MF1 module, flashed the rom, reflashed module, flashed some of the addons from the thread, and it booted right up.
No camera support whatsoever though = /. At least not that I can see lol.
---------- Post added at 03:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------
Here is what seems to be important about being able to use any particular rom:
1. Comes in a flashable .ZIP format
2. Does NOT require any kind of custom kernel
3. Stock based (4.2.2)
4. Does not automatically install any modem files. (soft bricked a few times trying to flash a rom with a modem)
Other things I've noticed:
These stock based roms will USUALLY work fine if you "Restore Data" after you boot them. That being said, you need to pay attention to whether the rom is odexed or deodexed. I keep a backup of my config in an odex data file and a deodex data file so I can flash either = ).
All roms share the same Download/Music/Video etc folders which is awesome.
Camera almost never works.
I never get init.d support (maybe something I'm doing wrong?)
I will post more info as it comes to mind. (3:30 AM lol)

Downgrading from 6 [EDP1] to 5.11 [DOJC]?

Hi. I have a rooted (CF AutoRoot) SM-920T running Android 6 /Firmware EDP1 with TWRP.
I noticed there aren't a ton of Roms for EDP1, which of course makes sense at this time and stage of the game with the EDP1 release.
Is there any risk to downgrading my firmware to 5.11 and rooting again, TWRP again, and loading 5.11 roms onto my phone?
Is there any pros/cons Im missing here?
I am really wanting a ROM with good modification support, but will settle for the bloatware just being removed as I detest these kinds of things on my phone hogging memory etc.
Thank you everyone for a response to this question.
Scott / Cybcomm

http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../rom-ozop-v1-fly-theming-mod-options-t3162489
here is an awesome rom to run 5.1.1. its totally customizable and the dev @stangdriver44 is great at support. He has a tutorial in the thread on how to flash back to 5.1 from 6 there as well. By the way he is working on a MM build as well. Hope this helps, The 5.1.1 OZOP rom is the best rom by far for the S6 check it out

Here is my post with the confirmed working method I have used several times. Just make sure you have either a full rom zip or Nandroid to use immediately once you've odined the package I made.
Thank @BigDaddy38 for helping people out.
Bigdaddy, have you check my thread lately? OZOP MM is coming along nicely and is going to be off the hook with mods and OC controls right out of the gate!!! Just added my "Button remapping" control mods including volume music skip and all hardware buttons completely customizable to activate special feature like cyogenmod torch and screen recovering but native to making a shortcut to any app you choose! Just check it out. Way to much stuff already and don't want to go to far off topic in this gentleman's thread.
OP, if you have any questions either PM me or tag me in a quote so I get notified. It is a very easy process and if you have a nandroid only take about 2-3 minutes to be booted up and running in LP again.
Good luck and thanks

Ok, I guess let me simplfy the question.
Can i simply take the DOJC firmware package, flash it on my phone that currently has EPD1, upon completion, flash twrp and then flash a DOJC compliant rom, and then flash SU?
Thanks!

OP, if you have any questions either PM me or tag me in a quote so I get notified. It is a very easy process and if you have a nandroid only take about 2-3 minutes to be booted up and running in LP again.
Good luck and thanks

Ok, I guess let me simplfy the question.
Can i simply take the DOJC firmware package, flash it on my phone that currently has EPD1, upon completion, flash twrp and then flash a DOJC compliant rom, and then flash SU?
Thanks!

I would follow Stangdrivers guide he has actually done it more than once and was successful.

stangdriver44 for the win!
His post and suggestions were right on.
I downgraded form marshmallow to Lollipop with no issues.
Already had TWRP in stalled from previously and flashed a LP Rom.
Worked great!
Thanks so much!

Make sure you thank his post and mine lol for helping. Even though he did the work

So i was able to finally downgrade tro 5.1.1 using Stangdriver44 method. Thanks for your help! However, the problem still presist. The problem i have is posted here . I cleaned wiped, twrped my LP backup and i get an error "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255" in the middle of recoverying the system. There appears to be a corrupt file or something. I can twrp another LP 5.1.1 custom rom, however, that mirror image issue wont resolve.
I was hoping if there is a way to create a logcat so I can get to the root of the issue. Thanks for your help.
