[ROM] Stock Sense/Froyo *Updated 10/13 Release* (Rooted, Deodexed & Zipaligned)

This is a rooted ROM built from a properly signed, unreleased HTC Sense/Froyo OTA package. This MAY NOT be the final HTC/Verizon release of this build, so assume it is an early leak of an upcoming release until confirmed otherwise. The OTA does NOT contain a radio update, in case anyone was curious.
ROM Details:
Deodexed and zipaligned.
Includes all system components and full boot image.
Pre-rooted with Superuser 2.3.6.1.
Ramdisk modifications to disable ro.secure, enable adb on boot and support startup scripts in /system/etc/init.d.
Absolutely nothing removed.
Installation:
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.
Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery. It has not been tested with any other recovery.
If you are coming from another completely stock ROM (i.e. Sense 2.1 or 2.2), you may not have to wipe data. I obviously recommend wiping data (since it will eliminate any possibly bad/stale configuration), but the update script will not do so automatically during installation. Use your best judgement to determine what works best for you.
Disclaimer
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.
Changelog
Version R1 (10/13/2010):

I'll put together a list of files which has changed between official releases. Beyond that I have no way of knowing. This hasn't been released so there's no changelog from HTC or Verizon anywhere.

It's not the new Sense, unfortunately. It looks like an incremental update for Froyo, probably to address bugs.

See above. I'm suspecting it's a maintenance release. It's really going to be up to us in the community to figure out what has changed until we hear something official.

I'm done with the the necessary changes. Just testing now. Should not be much longer.

Cool. it will be interesting to see what updates / modifications have been included. Thanks for making this happen!

Would be nice if we could get the new sense by the end of the year

Link is up. Enjoy!

Big Thanks to Illogic6 for being the Very 1st Person to get Touchwiz Booted to the I9505G post #31 and SamuriHL for solving the Baseband Update Issue and Chainfire
Modem Update : Due to the secure boot loader we cannot flash modems via cwm or any other custom recovery. You MUST update your firmware via Odin
Touchwiz Works with some ROM's like BareBones from the I9505 forum being successfully booted on the I9505G. TW Development is ongoing for the I9505G but with the small partition size some issues exist, and are being researched and worked out.

PLEASE BIG THANK YOU TO @SamuraiHL he is really the one maintaining everything for I9505G Owners and if you have not thanked him please do.

I've found that very useful. Been able to get every AOSP/CM based ROM to boot by editing the updater-script to match the correct partition.
Has anybody noticed that photos taken with the front facing camera on CM sometimes have green distortion? That was the only bug I've found. Unfortunately, that flared up my phone OCD enough to go back to the 4.3 leak.
Thanks for putting this thread together, OP!

I took a TW ROM and edited the script for our devices. It boots, but the display never kicks on. You get the boot animation sound and it even mounts the storage on my computer.

Here's the ROM I was messing with. I used the "old firmware" because it was the newest one when I first looked. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349369
I've attached my modded updater script. (You will have to remove the .txt extension. Wouldn't let me upload without it.) All I had to do was edit which /dev/block the script mounts before it copies stuff over. If I recall correctly, I only had to change the dev it flashes the boot.img to. See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43843048&postcount=30

I think this might be fixed in the newest CM nightly. I've took about 20 selfies with the front facing camera and haven't had distortion at all. Before I'd get it every 3 or 4 photos.
Edit: Disregard the above. The problem is back, but I'm thinking it might be the 4.3 camera zip I've been using. Hmmmmmmm......

I think I jumped the gun a bit on rooting my I9505G right when I got it. I've never successfully rooted it, but I managed to get on the 4.3 ROM with a few quirks here and there. My ultimate goal is to get Paranoid Android with halo running, but I'll have to dedicate a day to the whole process. I'll be keeping track of this thread.

I haven't used Cygwin before. I'll take a look at it today.
Also going to mess around with TW a little more. Maybe we just need some libs from the stock 9505g rom or something.
Update: I'm afraid I may have mislead you earlier. It appears that you need more than just the updated update-script in order to get touchwiz to boot. You also need a kernel from one of the 4.3 leaks. Here's the one I've been using. (Attached) Not only does it boot, but the soft keys work and you can hear the sound effects of the lock screen. I'm very close.

Wow Illogic your close bro thanks for your hard work the libs does sound like it would cause the display problem I'm gonna play around with this too. All I did was unpack stock 4.3 and zip and deo the files with root. The problem I am having is that I am still learning U-scripts and so I cannot get anything to flash. I get failed on 0p21 even though its changed. Maybe I can pm you what I did later and get your feedback cuz your miles ahead of me
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 2

I've merged libs from the leaked 4.3 build into the TW ROM without overwriting anything. Didn't seem to change anything. At this point, I'm playing with magic I don't understand so not sure how much farther I'm going to get.
Would really like figure out which files in the system are responsible for the display. Perhaps we need to overwrite those files. Google is failing me so far.

Tada! :victory:
The error message goes away. Right now, the web browser force closes... that might be because of the ROM I was modifying. What I did was use the 4.2.2 kernel that shipped with the google play phones. That booted AND activated the display.

The above link takes you to a site in Vietnamese that claims the original webpage does not exist. Bummer...a custom recovery for the SHV-E470S would be awesome!
I'd pay any developer who could create this, like @nautev I too cannot lend out my device for testing but can provide as much technical and system data as possible. The Galaxy S4 SHV-E470S has upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.1 as of now, so the requirements for a custom recovery may have changed as well. Let me know if there's anything I can do, as far as I'm concerned this thread is still alive! I have 2 friends with the same model also wondering about the development this, there is a small support group but a following nonetheless.
EDIT:
After some more vigorous searching online, I FINALLY managed to locate a working recovery for the S4 Active SHV-E470S Korean International model. It's a ClockWorkMod recovery that uses the touchscreen drivers while at boot, it's called Philz Touch Recovery. I'm so excited to finally have this at my disposal, I tried various recoveries for the non-international S4 Active but none worked. I hope this helped! This thread is now closed.
See the following site to download the PhilzTouch Recovery For SHV-E470S. I believe v4.2.2 is supported on the original factory OS and KitKat v4.4.2, whereas the PhilzTouch v4.4.2 supports the lollipop update to 5.0.1. I cannot personally say as for v4.2.2., but as for v4.4.2 I am currently using it on lollipop 5.0.1 with no issues thus far.

Enjoy!

It will be nice to have TWRP 3.1.1 for E470S. Does anybody knows does modded TWRP exist?

Hello everyone,
I have successfully built a package for this device. While the factory images is android-6.0.1_r5, this package features android-6.0.1_r10 along with the optimization flags I use for my other devices.
Instructions:
You need to get a custom recovery, this recovery should work
Boot into twrp
flash the package
optional: factory reset.
I haven't tested this as I am at work currently, so if anyone want to try before I get home do it

No it doesn't. I could tho, I will see how thing evolves. I had my nexus 10 ramdisk patched for SuperSU. But I think now the flashing package cheks your partitions.

Guys just a reminder: don't flash SuperSU ZIP directly. That goes for stock as well as builds like khaon's (just a heads up), but rather one of the existing root options. Flashing a ZIP that tries to modify the kernel, like SuperSU systemless will fail on the Pixel C and might semi-brick your tablet.

I read somewhere you were saying that the boot image is chromeos alike. Could you link me some source-code so I can see and understand the differences and how chromeos bootimage are built ? I looked at the chromeos's sources but i couldnt figure out where to look at.

Basically the kernel image is a depthcharge (the bootloader) payload that contains the Android kernel which then boots Android.
Depthcharge (bootloader source code with fastboot code): https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/depthcharge/

It's not just ChromeOS-like... up to the point where the Android kernel boots Android it's completely like on a Chromebook.

But, sourse code?

So is this using the stock boot image?

Sorry for the late reply...

Ewww, I am using this android revision
This tag points to the marshmallow-mr1-release.
There are no sources as it was built with the default sources, however, this was the build platform

Yes it is using the stock boot image.

Thank you! Could someone please upload the build.prop file? TIA!

Thanks a ton man. I've heard this device is more difficult than other devices to build for. When my type C cables and adapters show up tomorrow I will be unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP, nand backup, and then I'm going to try your ROM and then the kernel that's available. So it's going to be a good day .

You may just want to root the stock ROM. This ROM has not been updated to the new base, which has fixes for the touchscreen issues.

Problems turning on phone after flashing xposed framework.

Hello.
My phone is a SM-G903F with an android version of 6.0.1 and with an architecture of armeabi-v7a.
After flashing the xposed-v76-sdk23-arm.zip into my phone using TWRP (I also tried newer versions of the xposed framework) I end up getting a blue light and the samsung logo breathing constantly in a loop.
I can flash the xposed unistaller zip using the TWRP in the recovery mode and the phone works okay. But I would like to be able to install the xposed framework and make it work.
Can anyone help me or suggest anything I can do?
Thank you very much for your time,
Enrique

Try latest v86. It should works....

Samsung devices running TouchWiz have a tendency to bootloop when installing Rovo89's version of Xposed because it is developed for AOSP/Google Edition ROM's and their respective version of ART, whereas Samsung has made several changes in 5.0/5.1 that put it's functionality and code structure somewhere between 5.0/5.1 & 6.0, Vanilla Xposed v86 will likely not solve this issue, instead try flashing arter97's Xposed v79 (or v85 if you prefer, however I have not tested that version) of Xposed for Deodexed TouchWiz ROMs running on 5.0/5.1 (API21/22). If you are running 6.0 (API23) I am fairly certain you are out of luck as I don't believe a version of Xposed for TouchWiz 6.0 exists yet.

Just to expand on this
Arter xPosed for 5.0.x
Wanam xPosed for 5.1 and (yes) 6.0'x so you want a deodexed ROM and wanam's build of xPosed

I apologize but I didn't understand your answer. I have 6.0, so I must use 'wanam's build of xPosed' but what is a 'deodexed ROM' ?
Thank you and sorry but I'm new here.

Go to your device's board and search deodex (odex is a android function that creates executables out of app files)
Read this
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
It's not so important to understand the hows of it, you just need to find a ROM (there are many) that is deodexed. There are likely even a few completely stock touchwiz which have been deodexed. You should go to the XDA board for your device and should be able to find a working ROM

When a ROM is Odexed it means that a system application's cache files will be compressed in a separate odex file, so /system/priv-app/Email/Email.apk would also be accompanied by Email.odex in the same folder. The advantage of this was back when the Dalvik interpreter was used, it would speed up boot times. Deodexed on the other hand is the opposite, it stored the cache files inside an application's APK file, so Email cache would be in Email.apk/cache/com/google/android/Email.dex. Again back when the Dalvik interpreter was used this would slow down boot times significantly. However I believe that since ART became the new runtime the only time boot is slowed down is the very first one after a ROM is installed (albeit by about 15 minutes). If you aren't familiar with modifying ROMs (assuming you want to keep TouchWiz) I would recommend finding a Stock TouchWiz ROM that comes Deodexed, and pre-rooted with SuperSU already installed, make sure you backed up your data (either through google or manually) and install the Deodexed TouchWiz ROM, wait a while, as I said first boot with Deodexed ROMs are about 15 minutes slower than normal, and restore your data. After that you should be good to install Xposed for TouchWiz (beit Wanam or Arter97's is dependent on your OS version and what recovery you're using.) ?

just a question i got the same problem but i flashed my s6 with TYRANNUS ROM v28.1 and keep getting a bootloop when i try to flash xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64
Recovery is twrp-3.0.2-1-zeroflte
I did all the same like in the tutorial shown
and i dont know why can someone help me ? just want that xposed framework works and im stucking since hours of trying :/

As I mentioned before if you are running TouchWiz 5.0/5.1 you will have to use Arter97's Xposed for TouchWiz v79, API 21 if 5.0, API 22 if 5.1, Wanam Xposed for TouchWiz v79, API 23 if 6.0. ROM has to be Deodexed either way, use FlashFire version 0.24+ if flashing Arter97's Xposed, use TWRP 2.8.4.0+ if Wanam Xposed. Do keep in mind Rovo89's Xposed will not work with TouchWiz on 5.0+, you will have to use one of the above two alternatives.

Would you have any suggestions on where I can find ROMs like that? Is there a main thread or a portal somewhere that lists all the popular ones?
And I have another side question if you don't mind me asking: The device I'm playing around with is a Canadian Galaxy S4 [SGH-I337M], does that mean the ROM I use needs to be compatible with that model specifically? Or are ROMs inconsiderate of the exact model and would work on all Galaxy S4's?
(There's also the different processor issue that depends on the S4's model; Snapdragon 600 vs. Exynos 5 Octa).
Thanks for the descriptive difference between the odexed and deodexed btw, yours is the best I've read so far

Hmmm, seemed a bit off at first since I see the American AT&T everywhere, but then I noticed the thread [SGH-I337M] CF-Auto-Root there and realized the I337 and I337M models are put together.
So I see ROMs under all of the following:
AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S 4 ANDROID DEVELOPMENT
AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S 4 ORIGINAL ANDROID DEVELOPMENT
SAMSUNG GALAXY S 4 UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT
Does that mean there's no main thread which keeps track of all the popular ROMs?
Also, since you linked me to that portal, does that also mean (for my second question) that the ROMs need to be designed for a specific model? It's not generic that any S4 can use any ROM designed for S4?
Thanks!

Correct, as far as I remember the s4 was carrier dependent. My s4 for vzw was cdma only so only vzw roms/mods would have worked. Your device is GSM and Canadian GSM followed the AT&T device build (as far as I could tell). What I did was (on the XDA website) type I337 into device search and only that device shows. The name of that top board was AT&T, Canadian, Rogers thus it confirmed for me this was your phone. There is usually in one of those boards a curated index. There are dozens of ROMs, you just need to read, nobody here (worth a salt) will be able to just give you "the best" answer. You need to read, and understand what you are doing. If you do anything wrong, especially with Samsung touchwiz devices, you will void your warranty (samsungs have a hardware fuse that burns out if you Root or modify incorrectly) and could even hardbrick your phone. But if you just use search while in the forum I pointed to you should easily find what you need. (Hint, type xPosed into the searchbox on the website I should limit the search to your device's forum if you are already on the page I posted)

And I understand it's not appealing to read 450+pages on threads but just skim through threads, 99 percent of problems you'll encounter will have been previously reported and likely solved. I lurked on XDA for at least a year before I spoke and read (at least topic titles of) every topic for both the devices I've had and read/subscribed to topics for every xPosed module I use.
Ok done preaching....sorry

I'm not looking for the "best" answer, most likely there isn't one "best" ROM anyway I was just wondering if there's a portal somewhere for all the popular ones where I can browse through them, maybe with a description for each with links to the original posts.
Reading and understanding is what I've been doing, to some extent at least, if someone wants to dig into the details it could take months of testing and source code reading to understand everything that's going on under the hood
Thanks for the warnings and hints

I've seen both of those, they're both for AT&T [I337], which have a locked bootloader. Mine is an I337M, which has an unlocked bootloader, so the steps probably differ a little
But thanks for the links! All appreciated

I do indeed have a recommendation, assuming you want stock TouchWiz (newer versions are growing more like Google edition) I have the SGH-I337 and am running Albe95 ROM (the port of S6's stock 5.1 firmware), now I have a unique copy of the NB1 bootloader but for that reason this OS should also work for you, it comes with all S6 features (theme engine included, but don't change your model number from SM-G920A or you wont be able to connect), can be installed from flash fire, is Deodexed, comes pre rooted with SuperSU installed, is fully compatible with the API21 version of Arter97's Xposed, and wont delete any user data during the pre-install wipe. As a bonus its also compatible with most AOSP tweaks and root modules including Android-Nify (so you can use some Nougat features before its released, though we obviously already have multiwindow and single row quick toggles, but still ).
BTW I do believe its for both SGH-I337 and SGH-I337M, or at the very least there is a port for it, however I do believe it works on both (again, it is Stock TouchWiz so locked or unlocked bootloader doesn't matter and it expects Flash Fire rather than a custom recovery either way as well ;P).

Albe95 sounds really good! Will give it a try, thanks
I have never used or read much on Flash Fire, so that will probably be another whole day of experimenting and hoping my device doesn't brick lol. Will make a nandroid backup and give it a shot, thanks again!
