Pretty much what the title says. I know spacemoose1 is working hard on Honeycomb and I love what he has released so far. I have seen CM7 for GSM and was just curious if it was out for CDMA yet or if there are plans to do so. And if not, I would be willing to work with whoever to try to get it released.
Nope there is not yet only for gsm but that could probably he ported to cdma with some changes and a new kernal i should think. But not too sure.

I'd be willing to do any kind of testing to help a port for CM7 on the CDMA (sprint) Tab..
It does not exist.
There was one person interested in doing it, and he may be joinging the project. I think he also did a test build based on Froyo kernel. He is kind of quiet recently so probably he has other stuff on his mind.
But with new Gingerbread kernel I am much further ahead. To catch up the first thing is to port the Gingerbread kernel to CDMA and port modemctl and other things from CDMA Froyo kernel.
this sure does sound very interesting. i too wouldnt mind doing some test flashing for any developers. i flashed cm7 for a while on my Tbolt and i loved it. i had to revert cuz i didnt know about flashing gapps. anyways, id like to stay updated on this thread
I noticed Boushh's signature is
[] Current Tab:VZW Samsung Tab []
[] Current ROM: Latest Version of CM7 + Voodoo []
He found the way to let his cdma tab work on cm7

I just seen this, I have sent him a PM hopefully he will reply. I am still very interested in doing whatever it takes to get this thing going full time.
I did notice that we have a full AOSP CDMA ROM in the forums. I am currently looking for someone to provide me with temp download links that they have so I can host it on my site. Seems the site they where using has sucked up all its bandwidth.

If its the one I am thinking of I have it somewhere, but I could not even get it to boot. It was basically was an alpha version of aosp. Even if it would have booted after flash it had alot of bugs and things not working.

Hi guys.
Im not a good english speaker.
But i have something to tell guys.
Im not the developer of the rom with sense 4.1 venom.
He is chun, a korean developer, who succesfully build up Holiday Sense 4.1 with Venom for the first time.
Sense 4.1 rom has been released in korean forum for a while. But not here as he promised Team Venom. As i knoe.
Unfortunately, this man googled and found this rom.
He posted it for couple of hours. And then closed the thread. Because he didnt know it was not allowed.
The rom wasnt. And isnt gonna be without Team Venom's permission.
And this romwhich modfied, posted today and you guys downloaded was illegally modified and released.I had a convo with Chun. And he is very disappointed by this guy that he was never asked for that.
Its not a respect of developer. There is still some bugs hes been working on it.
What if he gives up and leaves us?
He fixed ril problem with 4.1
He is the one of amazingest developer we have.
Thanks for the explanation. Patiently waiting for a "clean" rom from the developer Chun.
nevermind thanks zero
Please tell chun we had nothing to do with the ROM posted here. We will respect him and his ROM and not post it here as its not allowed. Tell him thank you for his ril fix and if he would ever like to work with users on here to help with ROMs we are here. Users here are just excited because there isn't as much development going on as other phones

His first rom was built up with Venom tweaks.
He confirmed it works fine with sense 4.1, no ril problem.
Therefore, he asked Team Venom to have the tweak with his rom for korean forum.
After all, he released it in korean forum finally.
And somehow blahblah happened. And this rom leaked.
He thought they wont find it out since it was posted in korean
I don't see any of the venom tweaks that are being said all I see is a stock rom well that's just me

I had a conversation with him. and found out some posts in korean forum that i didn't notice for a while. (cuz i'm not using holiday anymore. galaxy S3 <3)
anyway, you guys are right. he used venom tweak, but couldn't have a permission.
that's why he didn't post it here.
he has sent PM to two developers long time ago, but still no replies.
first. he used venom tweak, but no framework and codes i think, (i don't know about this... even he told me)
he was like he removed venom scripts and stuffs, and deodex apps by himself.
second, he posted it in korean forum for a week and then took it off. since he knows it's not a right thing to do.
he still has no permission for that, he feels guilty and decided to remove thread and link from korean forum.
third, he was fixing some bugs, and going to upload next rom without venom tweaks.
because he is not a pirate. And he knows this will disappoint Team Venom.
four, i think he is banned from XDA. i'm not sure if his next rom (without venom tweaks) will be able to release.
Ask him if he wants I can mirror it here for him that way those who can't read Korean can still get it

pretty much the whole rom includes venom files mods (short list)
framework.jar
framework-res.apk
android.policy.jar
htcextension.jar
ext.jar
i didnt check systemui.apk, htclockwidget, or any other jars and apks that typically are modded, but they might have venom stuff....really should be on the developer to a) not use someone elses base anyway or b) verify on their own no code remains if doing so

Maybe he didnt realize that or something.
He used to be a kernel developer. Kinda newbie for roms.
I will tell him about this and i'm pretty sure he's willing to remove them all or use another basis rom.
His rom is base on another rom that contains venom.
I feel sorry for this.
This is like an up hill battle lol. That wasn't a dig at Team Venom by any means. Just sounds like Mr. Chun has to start from scratch almost from an RUU to ensure no tweaks or anything are being used. Can he share how he got the RIL to work in the first place? This could be a team effort and we could certainly get something in the works more easily in my opinion if the developers could work together on this.

Same opinion. But he still want to do it himself.
He said he thinks he removed them all for sure, but maybe he didnt.
Here's what he just told me
I dont think it makes sense there was still contaning Venom sources on the rom, The chinese developer posted that he changed frameworks and apps that he worked (deodex)
It seems like frameworks and apps were changed but maybe just some.
Unless that, Developer wouldnt find out any codes from them.
Thanks for checking.
To make sure, My next rom will have new frameworks and apps that doesnt contain any venom codes. (Deodex by himself)
Also he said, he already took off venom apps from his next rom.
It will be like stock or another tweak.
Anyway he's wondering if venom developer can verify/confirm that his next rom contains any venom codes.
So he wont make mistake for sure. (He will link you the rom.)
I think he's just too elementary developer missing codes delete.
delete
wasn't aware of the other thread. mistakes happen

Welp it would seem that HTC has released the new Sense 6 OTA for "developer and unlocked variants":
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/ota-captured-sense-6-now-rolling-out-to-the-htc-one-m7/
Later in that XDA article, Will talks about how alray provided a TWRP-compatible Nandroid for direct flashing as well as the firmware.zip link:
Here's the thread and post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52704273
I hope they release this soon for Sprint considering I would love to test out those new HTC apps before I take the plunge and purchase the M8!
Warning for any flash-happy users, I do not recommend using the backup or firmware until it comes to Sprint, I made this for the purpose of information sharing.
The thread link is for the Developers edition only, do not use until we receive confirmation from Sprint!

I know TWRP topic has been live I'm just adding this info as a Safeguard heads up for using the Correct twrp for those that never flashed before .
Just wanted to post for those realizing twrp is available to Not flash the wrong one .
Zerofltespr.img is INCORRECT for tmobile s6.I say this because there are 4 to choose from when u use the links to it
It a just a heads up cause that file falls next to the Tmobile version if you are looking for the Tmo.
Make sure to choose 2.8.6.0 zeroflte.img it is 25.2mb
Not 2.8.6.0 zerofltespr.img.
It will not allow you to navigate thru twrp or reboot.
I did this by mistake
If you do by mistake JUST CF AUTO ROOT again and it will restore stock recovery

Not sure if we need a whole thread on this. People should just read and pay attention before they flash stuff to their phone
Period.
This isn't a New wide spread topic it's a small WARNING tutorial TO save people from a very easily made mistake .I expected this type of response. But the greater number of considerate people would appreciated such a small but usefully tip expecially when you could see this mistake easily being made .
It's a necessary sub topic in regards to 920t TWRP recovery.
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
It all good man. Just would be more appropriate to put that info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3080833 where everyone else is talking about recovery flashing. We don't need a whole thread on this.
This is a good warning. I'm pretty experienced with these thing and am careful. I used Flashify to install TWRP because I'm at work. I selected S6 zeroflte and it gave me two options 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.6.0. So I selected the first one and installed it. Had I paid closer attention, after you select the one you want, it confirms the image name and sure enough, the first option turned out to be the Sprint version. So I had to do it again to flash the right one. I by chance stumbled across this thread just an hour prior to running into this issue, so I figured I flashed the wrong recovery. All is well now!
Thanks man for the appreciation. .I'm glad u seen it how i did .All I did was catch hell with this tip

Barging in.
Any rom developers out there, should I make zerofltetmo version of TWRP? Basically updating the default.prop to only flash versions for zerofltetmo, or do you all want to use zeroflte?

@bigbiff Great to see you stop by! So as long as this works for us I don't see anything wrong with just keeping it simple. Is it just the cdma and gsm variants that are different? Just trying to understand this so that I can say I learned something new today! Lol I will say that I am thrilled that you and the TWRP team work so fast and have made huge developments in device recoveries. I thank you for the work that you have done here! Much respect....

So far Edge is different between CDMA and GSM, and non-edge CDMA and GSM. So really 4 variants. But one of the big issues seems to be the disparate firmware or OEO issues that people are having flashing the versions I have released. It's hard to get a straight story between real issues and OEO.

Well, I have not really had much time to flash anything on this new device but everything that I have has been fine. I will keep you posted in your main thread if I run into any issues but thanks for the response!
This Is My First Shot at making something for this device,so please bear with me.
This Is A Custom Stock ROM that has been debloated and slimmed down a bit to my personal liking.
ive used SuperR's Kitchen on Ubuntu to bring this to you guys.
i used Captain_Throwbacks Metro Base ROM as a starting point.
i will include my list of apps that i have removed in the second post.
i would suggest a factory reset and dalvik/ART wipe
as always,if your device explodes or stops working,i assume no responsibility for any damages or data loss.
flash at your own risk.
if anyone has any suggestions and/or input,please feel free.
im no developer,just taking a shot at this.
the goal is to remove as much bloatware as possible,whilst maintaining stability.
:highfive:
i added /data/app support as well as busybox & deodexed the ROM.
im currently uploading my first build to google drive and will share links shortly.
bear with me as i dont have the best internet connection.

OP Updated with newer build.
Code:
6-14-16 build changelog

Just looking at channel log I'm assuming this is still relevant. I'm on V3 and with some frustration (I don't have Wi-Fi and had to trick my 6yr old laptop to boot up) I got it running well.
As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league

Thank you for the input,much appreciated.also,i updated OP with a newer build that uses nova launcher as default and puts back a few apks that got cutout by mistake.
My phone got simlocked after trying this ROM. It's still locked even after restoring the nanodroid backup I made prior to flasing this ROM.
I'm not in the US sooo I am not using sprint.
Any advice?

This ROM is based off of the original Stock MetroPCS USA variant,i didnt add anything that would potentially affect your simlock status.ive only removed stuff that was already there.
If youre not in the US and youre not using MetroPCS Variant of the phone,you shouldnt be flashing this ROM to be 100% honest.flashing incompatable firmwares across devices can sometimes lead to bricks.whats your Carrier and device?

I agree. It's very unusual.
I got this phone from a local phone shop. The owner seem to have unlocked the phone with some kind of service. I contacted my carrier who wrote down a couple of numbers from inside the phone (including the original phone number) and boom, I was able to use the phone with my number.
I have a theory about the error. Maybe you could see if that makes sense:
Maybe the phone isn't locked. But after a factory reset it keeps trying to "activate" the phone using the methods given by sprint.
There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

Again,what is your Carrier?if youre using anything other than MetroPCS USA,you should not use this ROM.thats #1.#2 is if youre using sprint,you should get the RUU to return the phone to factory software,and i assume youre using sprint because our Metro devices havent gotten MM yet,and you mentioned it.
And yes,CDMA/Sprint phones will not work correctly if theyre not provisioned from the carrier correctly.so if the activation is failing,then youre not going to be able to use the device to send messages etc until its activated correctly.
Suggestion,try using nightbreeds MM ROM thats for those kinds of carriers.

Oh lesson learned. I'm from Yemen and my carrier is YemenMobile (CDMA). I don't know why but I assumed that the phone won't mind the ROM since it was kinda unlocked. SORRY.
The phone was saying Sprint when I bought it. I think I'm going to get back to factory and see if that does the trick. :-/
My extended apologies
