[Guide] Comprehensive installation guide for Android 4.0.4 [CyanogenMod 9]

This guide is work in progress and will be constantly updated with future comments and insights.​1. Preface
This guide is intended to provide a comprehensive documentation how to install and configure Android 4.0.4 using an unmodified CyanogenMod 9 (CM9) ROM basis on the HTC Wildfire Buzz device. The settings and configurations proposed in this guide focus on stability and battery life and are dedicated to the average user who simply wants to have Android Icecream Sandwich without any changes or modifications once it is set up. Therefore this guide is based on the plain CM9 rather than a custom ROM which uses CM9 as a layer underneath to avoid having a discontinued ROM with additional bugs. At this stage I am assuming that your device is rooted, equipped with Clockwork Mod (preferably cwm 4) and that you know how to flash a ROM.
This guide proceeds as follows. First Android 4.0.4 is going to be installed based on CM9. The reason to choose plain CM9 instead of any custom ROM, is the likelihood to have new unknown bugs with a custom ROM and the possibility that a custom ROM may not be further developed anymore. CM9 on the other hand does not have any major bugs. At this point I assume you know how to install a ROM. If this should not be the case, please study this thread. After the installation of CM9 additional applications will be installed that will then replace some of the in-build applications. Then the in-build applications that are no longer needed will be disabled to increase performance. Finally, I propose recommended settings for CM9 that will increase stability and improve battery life.
2. Required downloads
In order to complete the installation successfully you are advised to download the following files:
2013.01.01_cm-9_UNOFFICIAL-BUZZ_light.zip
CrossBreeder_5.21.13.zip and CrossBreeder_Uninstall.zip
Slim_ICS_gapps_without_chrome_sync.zip
bravo-boot-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip and bravo-recovery-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip
3. Procedure
3.1 Preparing partitions
Create a file called mtdpartmap.txt with the following single line and place it in the root directory of your sd card.
Code:
150 25
This will reduce the size of your future /system partition to leave more space for installed applications on the /data partition.
3.2 Wiping the device
Now reboot into recovery and backup your existing ROM in case of any failures. Wipe your device completely by choosing the options wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, advanced > wipe dalvik cache, WIPE ALL (Dangerous)
3.3 Flashing recovery
Next flash bravo-recovery-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip and reboot into recovery. The option can be found under advanced > Reboot Recovery.
3.4 Installing the ROM
Now we are ready to install the actual ROM. For that install 2013.01.01_cm-9_UNOFFICIAL-BUZZ_light.zip. This ROM is the same as the unmodified ErwinP build but with unnecessary applications removed to reduce the size. version Afterwards install Slim_ICS_gapps_without_chrome_sync.zip which will provide the essentials of required Google Services. Next choose CrossBreeder_5.21.13.zip which will significantly improve the performance of your ROM. Finally install bravo-boot-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip to apply your partition settings from above. Now you are ready to boot into your new ROM. Congratulations!
4. FAQ
4.1 I do not have an Email or Calendar app
The light ROM which you just installed does not ship any Email or Calendar app as these two are outdated. Instead install Gmail and Google Calendar from the Play Store.
4.2 I always get the message insufficient storage available when installing or updating apps
You could change the size of your partitions by modifying mtdpartmap.txt. However, it may not be sufficient. I suggest you to install Link2SD and move big apps such as WhatsApp to your sd card.
5. Questions
Yet this guide may not cover all important things which are relevant in the setup process or leaves open questions unsolved. If this is the case for a particular problem you are facing, do not hesitate to leave a comment in this thread.
6. Remaining bugs
The panoramic view of the camera is not working with any camera application available.
It seems that the slide lock screen cannot be disabled. Thus, even if you have changed Settings -> Lock screen -> Screen Security -> Screen lock to pattern for example, you will still have to unlock the slide before you can enter the pattern. Yet I did not find a solution although some custom ROMs that are based on CM9 do not have this unwanted "feature".
Settings -> Battery shows Battery usage data not available. Some custom ROMs fixed this bug. Should be merged into the ErwinP branch.
Settings -> Data usage only shows a blue box instead of a graph. Nonetheless the mobile data limit feature should work.
With the default keyboard Voice To Text cannot be used since there is no shortcut on the keyboard for it. Furthermore, sometimes numbers are not inserted when the letter buttons are pressed and held.
The lock screen needs to be resized in cases it has to display the emergency call notice. This is shifting the lock symbol too much down to the bottom of the device screen.
Search app sometimes seems to be unresponsive and closes itself.

Installation of apps
So, at this stage you have already installed CM9 and subsequently Google Apps. Both are installed by booting into your recovery manager and selecting 'Install ZIP from SD card". Thus you need to copy the downloaded files onto your SD card. Before doing anything else I recommend you to do a Nandroid backup in your CWM recovery software. If anything should go wrong, you can return to this default state. As for the applications I recommend you to install the following:
Apex Launcher if you want to use folders in the dock. Otherwise install Zeam Launcher which is a very lightweight alternative.
Camera ICS
exDialer with the suitable exDialer Black ICS Theme. Use this application if you experience your default dialer to be slow, such as if the dialer or contacts app show black screens for 5 seconds.
Music Folder Player Free. Use this application if you are looking for a simple folder music player that supports a variety of formats.
Opera Mini
QuickPic
RAM Manager Free
Smart Voice Recorder
Solid Explorer
SwiftKey 3 Free
VoiceSearch
Disable unnecessary apps
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once the programs above are installed, we can then disable in-build applications that do not work properly, have bugs or are not as efficient as their alternatives. To disable applications, go to System -> Apps -> swipe to All and disable the following apps if you do not need them by clicking on an entry and selecting disable:
Android keyboard - replaced by Swiftkey 3 keyboard since Android keyboard tends to lag a lot and does not work with voice to text feature.
Apollo - keep it if you want an extensive music player. Otherwise use Music Folder Player Free and disable Apollo.
Browser - replaced by Opera Mini which offers smoother and faster browsing.
Camera - replaced by CameraICS which reduces a few bugs. If you are using slide shortcuts, then remember to link the camera shortcut to the CameraICS application.
CyanogenMod Wallpapers - you will achieve the best performance by not using a wallpaper at all. Hence, you can deactivate the wallpaper package.
Email - can be disabled if you use an alternative app such as Gmail
Exchange Services - belongs to Email and therefore not needed either
Gallery - replaced by QuickPic since Gallery has a lot of bugs.
Google Bookmarks Sync - not needed since Chrome browser cannot be installed on the HTC Wildfire.
Google Search - a lot of users encounter stability problems. If you solely use the browser search bar, then disable it.
Movie Studio - keep it if you use your slow device for movies
News & Weather - may be replaced by national news and weather app
OTA Updater - works not flawlessly. Install updates manually via recovery mode
Pico TTS - not needed if you use Google TTS instead
ROM Manager - not needed. Better flash Zip archives from recovery mode
Setup Wizard - only needed once after a fresh installation of CM9
Sound Recorder - since it does not appear in the application drawer it cannot be used and can be disabled. Please use the alternative Smart Voice Recorder instead.
Voice Dailer - keep it if you want to use it
In addition, there are some applications that cannot be disabled by the method described above. For these applications you need to open Solid Explorer file manager and go to /system/app. Here you will find a list of all in-build applications. Click on the following ones and either delete or move them onto your SD card in case you want to have them back later:
DSPManager - if you do not need any special equalizer settings you are safe to disable it.
LiveWallpapersPicker - as explained above, you will gain the best performance when not using any wallpaper. Hence, live wallpapers can be disabled alike.
Trebuchet - this is the default launcher which is very slow compared to Apex launcher that we had installed before.
System and application configuration
Now with our system being complete we can turn our focus on the confrontational part. There are three components you need to take care of in order to gain the most of your device.
1. CM9
Open the system settings and set the following options:
Sound -> Untick Vibrate and ring
Sound -> Untick Vibrate on touch
Display -> Brightness -> Tick automatic brightness
Display -> Untick Screen-off animation
Developer options -> Window animation scale -> Animation off
Developer options -> Transition animation scale -> Animation off
Performance -> Processor -> CPU governor -> SMARTASSV2
Performance -> Processor -> Minimum CPU frequency -> 176 MHz
Performance -> Processor -> Maximum CPU frequency -> 729 MHz
Performance -> Memory management -> zRam -> disabled
Performance -> Memory management -> Tick Allow purging of assets
Performance -> Tick 16bit transparency
Performance -> Surface improvements -> Disable dithering
Finally, if you want to use your trackball to wake up your device, open the app Terminal and type:
su
trackballwake
2. RAM Manager Free
Open the app RAM Manager Free and select the option Balance for the active profile.
3. Apex launcher
For the last part, we want to configure the launcher which is one of the most important applications to influence performance and battery life. Here I offer you my Apex settings which works fairly well. Unzip the archive to your SD card -> Android -> data -> apexlauncher. Then go to Apex launcher -> Backup & restore -> Restore Apex settings. It should then restore the settings based on what you just extracted to SD card -> Android -> data -> apexlauncher -> apex_settings.bak.
Tips, tricks and troubleshooting
If you need an internet connection only to synchronise your mail and calendar and do a little bit of browsing, then 2G instead of 3G should be enough. This will safe battery.
Have you flashed the latest radio Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10? You can find this information in System -> About phone. If not, follow again this thread.
In case you want to increase the quality of your GPS signal, you can use this patch which can be installed through the CWM recovery software.
If you encounter connectivity problems with your 2G or 3G connection, then go to Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks -> Access point names -> and be sure to have only one saved in there with the correct connection settings. Otherwise your device may try to switch from one APN to another one, causing the connectivity aborts.
If you are using the Yahoo weather app on the lock screen and encounter the problem saying "No data - Tap to refresh", then switch your device into airplane mode and back and see whether it works.
If you are encountering problems related to Google Play Store being closed randomly or other problems, then you might have not flashed Google Apps. To do so, download the ZIP archive and copy it onto your SD card, boot into recovery mode and choose the point "Install ZIP from SD Card".

Wow looks like you had a lot of work with collecting all these informations. I think i'll gonna setup my phone according to your tutorial and have a look if it runs smoother

Very nice!
But may I just say, this probably belongs in the Themes&Apps section.

1. If we diable this (Settings > Drawer > Widgets : Untick Join with apps)
it won't display widgets in App drawer list, "widgets"
2. And this (Settings > Drawer > Scrolling : Untick Fade side pages)
App drawer will be faster

I already applied these settings. They can be found in my Apex launcher backup that I provide above.

Did you install Apex launcher and made it the default launcher before you moved Trebuchet? If so, then please go to Apex launcher -> Backup & restore -> Restore Apex settings. It should then restore the settings that you just extracted to SDcard\Android\data\apexlauncher\apex_settings.bak.

Since it is a paid app I cannot say anything about it. Surely, it might be a good alternative, combining camera and gallery. You might give it a try. For users who rather prefer a free options, I would stick with QuickPic and CameraICS.

Thx for the tips, but any ideas to speedup dialer and contacts apps ?
And what about the launcher ? I'm using Zeam Launcher at the moment wich is only 388KB (Apex is 2,1MB)

I do not experience both apps to be particularly slow. Could you be more precisely when and how you perceive this slowness?

I added Zeam launcher as an alternative for all those who do not need application folders in their dock. Apart from that it might be a good alternative though it does not feel smoother or faster to me.

Yes... When I open both dialer or contacts app shows black screen for 5 seconds. When it's in memory as a recent app it starts in less than a second.

I included exDialer as an alternative. Thank you!

holo launcher hd is performing well,worth giving a try.

I want to limit the guide to one full-featured launcher, such as Apex and one lightweight launcher, such as Zeam.
Any arguments why I should use holo launcher hd over Apex launcher?

i found it smoother and quicker than apex,but that might be just me.I want you to try it and decide which one is better.
And again I would prefer to use launcherpro instead of zeam.

To disable applications, click on MENU -> swipe to All and disable the following apps
I am sorry if I missed something but are you referring to a specific application for app disabling? I can't do this in android system menu/applications (I see only the installed ones, not the system ones).

[DIY] Making The Most Of A Locked Bootloader [LT30p]

I was going to make a ROM for y’all but my kitchens a mess and the cookers not working
I would have called it something like XTassy :laugh: ​
THIS IS NOT A GUIDE
Its a record of the changes that I have made to a perfectly good ROM.... So that it better suits my needs.
Everything here has the potential to break your phone and make it smell like fish.
If this happens you should PM me immediately so I can laugh at you
I'm always interested to know if there's a better way of doing something
and perhaps you might find something here that's useful to you​
My Model: Xperia T - LT30P
Bootloader: Locked (Theres no reason why this stuff shouldn't work on an unlocked bootloader)
Carrier: Three (Yea they did it.... Gits)
Post 2: The Core
Post 3: Pebble Dash Removal
Post 4: Silent Camera Hack
Post 5: Advert Removal + Security
Post 6: Apps I Use And recommend
Post 8: Some Ringtones I Made
Post 9: Things Im Currently Working On / Would Like To Change

The Core
My stock rom was non-updateable, overheated, and I was able to kill a full battery in less than 3 hours.
I did an antutu stability test and it was all over the shop.
After trying out loads of stock and custom roms the one that had the highest benchmark
and was the most stable for me (according to antutu) was TiMiN8R's XperimenT
What I like about TiMiN8R's Rom? XperimenT 3.1.1
. Phone no longer overheats
. Battery Life has improved
. Its pre rooted
. Installs ClockWorkMod
. Has smaller on screen buttons (the black bar at the bottom)
. Comes with a file manager (why no stock roms have this?)
. He’s changed the menu background and it works for me
. Has a better battery icon with percentage
. Has a reboot option when powering down (ohhh that’s bliss)
. Has the older google maps with a blue arrow launcher for navigation (I really missed that! but can be updated according to preference)
. Has some fancy customizable toggles on the notification bar
Antutu Benchmark v4.0.1 score was 16892 Without an SD Card
That’s a massive portion of the hard work done. Cant thank him (and all persons involved) enough for making my phone usable. :good:
Before flashing the ROM I backed up my apps to my internal storage with Android Assistant

Pebble Dash Removal
My goal here is to rip out everything I can. My old phones Rom (x10 mini pro)
was 100mb in size, with all my apps installed and it did everything I wanted it to.
The way I see it... everything past 100mb must be battery draining, spyware, adverts and pebble dash.
Apologies to the the people that put time and effort into the apps I just called pebble dash
​
TiMiN8R has already removed a fair amount of bloatware from this rom. But as hes made it available for the majority im sure he didn’t want to remove apps that people might want.
Note! I will be removing the default keyboard and home screen (as far as I can tell it doesn’t have landscape mode)
If you decide to do this YOU MUST FIRST INSTALL REPLACEMENTS. I use the keyboard from gingerbread
& Launcher Pro as my home-screen. (Go Launcher seems popular but iv never tried it)
Ill also be removing all themes and lots of things you might miss... like the walkman, nfc, bluetooth, backup software.
Be aware that removing an application will affect others that depend on it... for example removing “live wallpaper picker”
will make ALL live wallpapers unuseable and you wont be able to use any live wallpapers that you get from the play store in future.
To do this I used root uninstaller
The safest way to do this is to enter ClockWorkMod by pressing the volume down but 2 or 3 times when you first turn your phone on and make a back up (of your entire setup) remove a few applications at a time... check everything still works. And repeat the process. If something goes wrong.... do a restore and start over. Its not advised to try and uninstall them all in one go
Current total of installed APK's 223 afterwards 126
<----- data use before and after
Here’s the list of apks that I was able to remove from this rom without errors or crashes (after a reboot)
in the order they appear in root uninstaller

So please don’t copy and paste it elsewhere. The next two lines are for googlers
Xperia T bloatware removal lt30p
Xperia T safe to remove list lt30p (safe if you understand what your doing)
Step 2
After removing all those apks I use a file browser to navigate to
/ > system > framework
and remove any .jar files that relate to the apks that I just uninstalled
like Bluetooth, NFC, Facebook, Music, Music Visualizer ect.ect.
Then I go to my settings and change the ringtone to PYXIS
This is the only pre installed ringtone I want to keep
Its no good dropping beats in a room full of suits so I use this tone when im at work to keep things professional
Then I go to / > system > media > audio > ringtones and delete all but pyixs
and paste my own .ogg ringtones (ill attach some of the ringtones I made to post 8)
I do the same for alarms and notifications
first set the ones that I use then delete the rest and paste my own
/ > system > media > audio >alarms
/ > system > media > audio >notifications
I don't like to use ringtones from sd card/storage locations because if I were to accidentally delete them maybe my alarm wont go off in the morning Not a risk I wanna take lol
why I removed the lockscreen and all themes / theme manager?
I removed every single theme & theme manager
so now instead of my phone looking like this
it looks like this!
iv made a dreadful mistake :crying:
I also removed the lock screen 1.0 app which reverted the lock screen to basic jb
lets add a wallpaper
and change it to pin
Much better! (settings > security > screen lock > pin)
Dont panic the music widget still works
I also like to add: If Found Please Call - 07MYMUMMY505
To the lock screen Found in settings > security > owner info
(you have to enter the pin when connecting the phone to a usb cable)
One thing I miss from cyanogen mod was "skip on security" meaning you don't have to press ok when you enter the correct pin. id also like to remove the grey and maybe make it more transparent (Dam locked bootloader) that's something ill have to come back to tho (think it would involve decompileing the system UI)

Silent Camera Hack

I don't like my camera to make a noise, with some snaps its best to be discreet..... after all this is the James bond phone
This phone was surprisingly easy to mute my other Xperias were a pain in the backside
/ > system > media > audio > camera > sound0
there's a file there called no_sound.m4a (how convenient)
I copied this and pasted it 3 times into this location / > system > media > audio > camera > sound1
Then Deleted: shutter.m4a , start_rec.m4a & stop_rec.m4a
and renamed the 3 no_sound.m4a files to shutter.m4a , start_rec.m4a & stop_rec.m4a
the same can be done with the files in / > system > media > audio > camera > common
(or see attached files)

Advert Removal
I cant stand adverts especially the ones that take up half the screen.
for the last 3-4 years iv been using an app called AdFree by Bigtincan
Its awesome just set it up and forget about it. no More annoying flashing google ads taking up half the screen
Unfortunately it keeps getting banned from the google play store (cant think why )
Here is their homepage http://www.bigtincan.com/en/
Here is their download page http://www.bigtincan.com/adfree/ (that no longer works)
And attached to this post is a little bit of love in the form of an apk
Select > Boot Normally > Skip Registration > Download & Install Hosts
If you use launcher pro you can hide the app from the app drawer
If you use the FireFox web browser there's an add-on called Adblock plus (also a version for the desktop firefox) that removes all adverts from all webpages including youtube videos (you know the ones that make you watch adverts about tampons for 15 seconds)
<<<< [BEFORE] [SETTINGS] [AFTER]
Security
Have you ever read some of the permissions that apps request when you install them?
Why the hell random apps want to read my text messages and contacts I don't know
Iv tried changing permissions and it just caused problems.... so heres what I do
I install this app Android Firewall
and I white list the apps that I want to be able to access the internet
(make sure you enable the firewall as well)

I don't use any kind of anti virus software for these reasons:
Android is based on Linux
I have an arsenal of hacking software they complain about every 5 minuets
They send reports of whats on your phone for "analysis"

Apps I Use And recommend
Seen as this thread was titled Making The Most Of A Locked Bootloader ill start with a big one
Cpu Manager and Saver Pro
It limits the cpu when when your not using the phone (when the screen is off) and restores it when you are using it (when the screen is on)
Iv only found out about it recently but it seems to be working as it should. We have 1.5gz CPU so we don't need to overclock.
But underclocking! Anything we can do to save the battery is a god send :victory:
Launcher Pro (cannot resize widgets with free version)
I keep banging on about it... this is the home screen I use.
I cant really show you it coz.... you cant see it... its more how it works and what it dose
Landscape Mode
Massively customizable
Can easily hide / show apps from the app drawer
App-drawer scrolls parallel (in one slide rather than separate panels)
Has Counters for Missed Calls,Emails,Texts
182,430+ 5 Star ratings
Well worth checking out.
Digitally Imported - Internet Radio
www.di.fm is the homepage for my laptop (they recently updated it looks mint)
Been listening to di.fm for a good 8 years, my fav channel is progressive and there's many more
Need to make an account to use the app but its free
Jota Text Editor
Simple .txt editor, love the dark background
Gingerbread keyboard
From Android 2.3
after installing go to > settings > language and input > and set as default
I Like to disable word suggestions, dictionary, and auto correct
I cant get on with any other keyboard.... very happy to get this back
Tiny Flashlight
The reason I like this one over all others is because there's an option to have the light come on when the app is opened
This is super useful when remapping buttons to launch the light on a long press

I have an unlocked bootloader, so this guide isn't necessary for me. But, if I didn't, I would find this a Godsend. You are awesome sir, great work.

Some Ringtones I Made
I made these with acid pro
Iv converted them from stereo mp3 to mono ogg (Default ringtones were in ogg format I assume there's a reason for it)
and tweaked the volume to as loud as I could without it distorting (on my phone)
It only takes me 2 minuets to do this so im more than happy to do requests and id be interested in what you think would make a good ringtone.
Chaos Theory.ogg Ringtone (by conspiracy)
Tone starts at 2.34 in this vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PRbA9ltKX4
Blue Anthem.ogg Ringtone (by plus system)
Tone starts at about 33 seconds into this vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwDGUuUn888

Things Im Currently Working On / Would Like To Change
I want to stop the volume keys from changing the Ringtone volume (I want that on max all the time)
and remap them to open apps on long press (calculator and torch)
Without affecting media volume functions
change the pin lock screen to skip on security
meaning you don't have to press ok when you enter the correct pin
while I was testing roms I found a cyanogen mod variant by peetr that worked with my locked bootloader
ill paste the link here when i find it >>>>>>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240485&highlight=hybrid
id like to pinch the dialer, messenger, calculator and contacts apks from it but.... im not sure if it would be that simple and haven't the time right now

Throbin Wood said:
One thing I miss from cyanogen mod was "skip on security" meaning you don't have to press ok when you enter the correct pin. id also like to remove the grey and maybe make it more transparent (Dam locked bootloader) that's something ill have to come back to tho (think it would involve decompileing the system UI)

This can be achieved with some theming as you suggest, and does not require an unlocked bootloader.

When the screen is off your phone should automatically go into "deep sleep" which has the minimum cpu setting already applied so need to use this for that.
When your phone is on it is safe to have the cpu at stock speeds. However, if you do need to conserve battery (As I sometimes do when away on expedition) I do lower clock speeds but I am not sure this can be done without a custom kernel.
It definitely cannot be done to overclock without the unlocked bootloader, but I am still unsure if you can under clock without it. The app may report its set, but you need setcpu (Or some other app) to check which frequencies your phone has been running at. It may work, but I have never tried it with a stock kernel.

Nice thread mate, and thanks for the creds :good:
Maybe not a real guide (yet) but definitely some great pointers for other users looking to modify their ROM.
Too bad you can't get the kitchen set up right, there's probably some people around here who'd like to see it as a full-on ROM.
Like the name XTassy!
@gregbradley I tried CU Saver and kept an eye on the clocks with CPU Spy. Maxed the clock at 1242MHz and according to CPU Spy it never went over so seems to work well. Mind you, it also works with screen on, not just screen off!

Cheers for testing that, was it done on a stock kernel though

Yes stock kernel, locked bootloader.

I even changed active CPU Governor with No-frills CPU on stock fw.
Anyone know of some working performance tweaks like this? Any governor better than stock? Any magic script boosting Android like (in) famous Supercharger etc? That's kind of the modifications most users with locked bootloader will surely find interesting.

I didnt know people had replied! Guess I didnt subscribe to the thread lol. ill ad more to this tonight. Iv had a little bug (i think with cpu saver) screen would turn itself off right after wake up it did it over and over till i rebooted. But hasnt happend since. Other than that underclock seems to work fine

My phone got so hot it was on the verge of burning me and I was worried it was going to damage itself.

Q&A
1) How to install?
Do it at your own risk. Remember to do a nandroid backup before going further.
You need a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 International(GT-I9300) with stock android v4.2.2 leaked, boot into recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe battery stats. Then, choose "Install zip from SDcard", located your zip file and start install this rom. I recommend not to change the default selection of apps when you prompt to "choose apps to install"(Reason: To decrease the RAM usage while you may install it from Play Store, Samsung Apps Store or others third party store.)
2) Why I don't have all the apps?
You can download from the link attach in the Download Links section below.
3) Why some of the apps not shown in the app drawers?
Some of the apps is just a link to the main app and provide shortcut within the main app. For example: Gallery app can link to Collage app and it only available when you select multiple pictures and hit the menu button. Under menu, there is an option to "Create collage".
4) How can I get the Travel Wallpaper for my lockscreen?
You can set it by press and hold on empty space of your home screen to get to the instant setting menu or hit the menu button on home screen -> Select wallpaper or go into Settings -> My device -> Display -> Wallpaper -> Lock screen. For the pop up setting menu, choose "Travel Wallpaper" to enable it.
5) How to change to the default S3 camera?
You can download the "Other apps" zip file included in the Download Links section below. The default S3 camera and Nexus 4 camera is included in this zip file. Just extract and replace the apk in system/app.
6) Why I can't paste the files given to system/app?
It is due to the limited size of system partition which break down your paste operation to system. You can manually delete the apk from here and make sure you are remount the system to rewritable (R/W) before modify the system apk and files.
7) I use My Files, but I can't go into system/app?
You can use Root Explorer or other file manager to browse to these system files and you need to grant permission for these apps to modify your system.
8) Why I get this notice "Your system is modify, system update is unavaible..." when I enable "System update" from notification panel?
This is due to the SuperUser apk which has modify your system kernel and it is preinstalled in this Rom. If you want to unroot your device, then you need to go into SuperSU app and fully unroot it using the setting option in it.
9) When I choose to install certain recommended apps like dictionary from Optical Reader, the Samsung Apps give me this message "Product does not exist in this store(4002)"?
This is because there are some specific apps which are mainly distribute for S4 users only.
10) Why the S Memo do not sync memo from my Google and Samsung account?
S Memo in this rom only can sync memo that are created by using this version only.
11) Group Play in this Rom does FC or not?
All of the functions are working now including music sharing.
12) How to install the apps in "Other apps" included in the "Download Links" section?
Extract zip to SD card and install it as a normal app.

I see that you already have version 2.5 beta
could you give a link to test? PM

Downloading
There's only S4 camera app or also S3 stock one? Because I need make videos. Thanks.
Edit: I see your rom twice in DevDB, maybe it's a mistake?

After some hour of usage, I can see this is a good and stable rom. The Aroma installer is simple to use, but the first boot installer crashed and a widget is not working (I forgot wich one in the second or third page), but the rest is very good.
I'll test the battery usage in this days, but the base is solid, so I don't think this will give us issues.
Thanks and good luck.

Anyone who runs my ROMS knows that I thoroughly test my work before I even make it available for testing.
I try to release bug free Fully Custom FAR FROM STOCK ROM!!!
How to deal with BUGS and Reporting Issues
Sometimes a small bug or two can make itself present with a different users setup, and I'm sure if that happens you guys will be so happy to point it out and drag it on for 5 pages!!!
I will not respond to ANY KNOW bug issues!!!
Please use the "Search" button
and if you do find a bug give it a title in the subject line like "Bug report xxxxxx" so users who do use the search first will be able t find them faster and not waste value thread post on repeating nonsense!!!
See the "Know Issues" below for the current bug report and solutions.
Thanks you
Confirmed and written by users specific to the device ​920/925 T/W8 - These are the steps (with screenshots) users use and confirmed ZERO issues with "FCs" and "Call not sent" issues, if any other experience the same they can follow those too:
In TWRP recovery:
1) wipe
2) Advanced wipe
3) wipe---> Dalvik/Cache/Data/System
4) Flash the V2 Rom
5) After it boot at setup wizard let the device sit for 5 minutes for Rom to settle. Go thru SETUP WIZARD and see if you get any FCs and test your dialer to see if you can make calls, IF NOT follow the following steps.
6) Reboot into Recovery
7) Download and flash kernel ( the-sickness V4 or ozop kernel aroma zip and choose kernel of your choice)
8) Let device boot and FCs should be gone and now you can make phone calls.
920/925 "F", "I" - The way I installed is as follows.
Reboot to recovery and using TWRP the following
1. Full wipe excluding the internal memory.
2. Flash rom.
3. Flash this incall audio patch.
4. Install hacker kernel version 14
5. Boot rom and setup.
6. Setup ozop control.
Then tested in call audio by talking to my other who is in Spain while I'm In the UK.
v3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
*CLEAN INSTALL FULL WIPE RECOMMENDED(If you dirty flash and have issue DO NOT POST BUG REPORTS!!!)
1) Just install like normal
2) Kernel install is OPTIONAL but should be fine since the zip will not remove or replace your current boot.img
3) be patient!! Boot time is around 12 min, but could take up to 20!
4) IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SETUP: THE SETUP IS HIT OR MISS DEPENDING ON YOUR SIGNAL CONNECTION, WIFI IS BEST.
THE OPTIONS FOR SETUP ARE AS FOLLOWS:
AS SOON AS THE SETUP SCREEN COMES ON JUST START "SKIPPING", HIT SKIP, SKIP, SKIP ALL THE WAY TO THE END BEFORE THE DATA CONNECTS OR IF YOU WANT TO SETUP AND GET STUCK ON THE "CHECKING CONNECTION FLASH THIS TO REMOVE_SETUP_WIZARD
5) Now you should be on your home screen, time to activate OZOP Control mods! Do this by opening the app and granting super user of course, the app is verifying some files in the system then you will see instant changes to the statusbar, but that's not enough. So firsst open the sections menu by hitting the 3 lines in the top left of the screen, then first open the "All Colors/BG's" sections, then click to open each of the 7 sections within that menu option. That will get most of the mods activated. You can now go and actviate the rest by simply opening, then closing each part of each section.
That's is. ENJOY!!!!
OZOP v5 Installation Instructions, Discussion and Download Link begins here​
INSTRUCTIONS FOR POST INSTALL SET UP OF OZOP CONTROL:
1) CLEAN INSTALL RECOMMENDED BECAUSE OF THE NEW BUILD OF OZOP CONTROL APP
2) SET UP LIKE NORMAL
3) FIRST THING IS GO TO OZOP CONTROL AND GRANT ROOT ACCESS
4) CLICK THE 3 LINES FOR MENUS ON TOP LEFT
5) OPEN EACH SECTION AND each sub section AND THAT WILL ACTIVATE THE MODS AND YOU WILL NOTICE CHANGES INSTANTLY
6) ENJOY

Now using the extracted zip template move your image that has been renamed to following locations and names
a) Main System BG - stangs_bg.png and stangs_bg_light.png(1080x1920, not as important as the others, it will be resized automatically)

5) Zip up the files and flash
6) Enjoy and show off your work to the rest of us!!!

I'm on firmware EPD1 925T Edge (not flat).
Used TWRP 3.0.2 to full wipe system/data/caches.
Then installed this ROM.
But it does not boot up?
Just get a black screen?
Am I supposed to be flashing a kernel along with this?
Gonna try that now.

There is NO NEED TO FLASH a Kernel. Your previous kernel will stay as is!
The issue is on my end, the bootanimation isn't working!
Same as ANY MM deodexed rom, patience is the name of the game on the initial boot.
Give it 15 min of the black screen and it will boot.
I will have to post a fix later tonight. Sorry guys...
AGAIN, THE BOOTANIMATION IS BROKEN AND DURING THE 15 MINUTE INITIAL BOOT TIME YOU WILL JUST HAVE A BLACK SCREEN. SORRY...

LoL bad Dev!
I actually flashed your ROM + Twisted kernel back to back and it booted fine.
There was no boot animation there either of course, but I left it alone just as you went and said.
I'm just now logging into the ROM. :good:

Wooo... it looks fancy!
Gonna let it settle for a bit before I start really looking around.
Thanks!

Until I post the fixed version, go to system/media and delete the bootanimation.zip. that will revert to the stock lame tmo version. I've posted elsewhere the international version or I'm sure if you search you can find others.
Again, my bad guys!!!!

Am I the only one who's wifi keeps disconnecting everytime I reboot the phone? If i connect to my wifi and reboot, i'll be disconnected from it but the wifi toggle is still on. I running this rom with twisted kernel on my W8.
Ill reflash the rom to see if that will help but first im gonna go play with the OZOP control. There's so many options!!
EDIT: redid a clean flash and my wifi still gets disconnected on every reboot

ohh my guess i have to be up whole night to boot for only my device. Good work again bro.

Damn first release already thought you were mia with no hangout messages back
Posting this as a reminder for me to donate, thanks alot Stang

I don't have WiFi so unfortunately it is very difficult for me to test that. Maybe try flashing any option for your device with the Aroma Kernel chooser from post #2 and report back?

Absolutely not, I don't do Stock any any way, shape or form!
What are you looking for?
You might enjoy the controls and customizations OZOP has to offer.
Make a Nandroid of your current romantic and give OZOP MM at least a 3-7 day run and see if you like it.
I say 3-7 days because you really can't even get a glimpse of the capabilities of what's really possible in less time than that!
Once you get a feel for OZOP Control, you won't want anything else...
FOR NOW I'VE PULLED THE INITIAL RELEASE!
WAY TOO MANY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE WORKED OUT! SORRY.

You need to edit your build prop. Look for:
ro.securestorage=true
and change it to:
ro.securestorage=false
Then reboot, reenter your password and you will be good to go.
I can't take credit for this, @TheSickness gave me this tip.

The WiFi issue isn't a big deal for me since I have unlimited data, I just wanted to report that it was the only problem I found. Other than that everything is working great for me. Thanks.

You can try mini or micro gapps from open gapps sir.
If you are already unlocked, it will not lock you!

Thanks for the reply and the ROM but i'm having some problems:
1. No key board, only speech to text
2. Only Chinese and English
3.A lot of Chinese bloatware
Please help

Thanks for this ROM. I installed it today so I haven't got much to say but here's a small review (kinda):
1. Firstly I tried to install micro Gapps but there were no normal keyboard, there was only option - speech recognition so I downloaded AROMA installer and configured Gapps as I like: surely I installed Google keyboard so I could proceed and also changed some stock apps to google apps (camera, dialer, gallery, google pixel launcher). PS. ROM has only english and chinese langs.
2. As always, google play services app crashes until all permissions are given to it.
3. There are some chinese apps that can't be uninstalled by default app manager but they can be easily disabled.
4. ROM has been quite stable for the day duration, location and GPS are working.
5. What's not working for me (might be different from others because of Gappse I installed): live lock screen, clean notifications/recent apps by shaking features, accidental wake-up prevention, also there are some rows with @ and numbers after it which lead to settings app crash. Added: Facebook messenger constantly crashes, APN settings hang.
In total, ROM is stable and fast, definetely a daily driver. Would be nice to have some fixes and it would be a really great ROM! Also I can provide screenshots if needed.

Would be great to know if root is avalaible and how the battery life is. Thx

This ROM is rooted, root menu is available from developer options menu. Battery life depends on profile that is used (from battery saving mode to performance) but if balanced mode is considered, I would say battery life is just a little bit lesser that in MIUI.

I am sure it would be better that AOSP 7

Keyboard, install a google keyboard or any keyboard from Play Store. Else, download APK in PC, transfer to the device and install.
Languages - not aware. Probably, removed.
Bloatware - was not expected. But, it was unofficial CM version from Chinese devs, so - it has come in.

GPS - I wanted this feedback. Can I ask - did you try turn by turn navigation from Google Maps??

Device info.
APN issue. After entering APNs menu it just hangs and after short period of time crashes and phone reenables SIM cards.
Issue with @random_numbers tapping which leads to Settings crash.
It's very dissapointing for me that I can't add an APN since I have to configure it manually. I haven't tried navigation in google maps yet but I bet they're allright. Will find it out tomorrow.

Unfortunately, navigation didn't work or me. All permissions are given to the app but navigation won't start. Switching to AOSP 7.0 for now, not because of navigation but because of APN issue.

Hello I am having some Problems with the camera app.
When I switch to 1080p, The camera crashes. The only way to reopen the camera is to clear data.

Used to be a known issue with the 7.0 AOSP version. It is fixed in 7.0 AOSP, not sure if it will ever be fixed here in CM13.
