----------------------------------------------------
Pre-Installation Requirements:
1. Backup your data! Use an app like Titanium Backup, My Backup, App Saver, SMS Backup (to save SMS), etc.
2. Disable all lagfixes by going into the Recovery. Disable both normal and /system lagfixes. This is a must for installing PART 1.
Those who are on stock Samsung firmware/have never installed a custom kernel, can skip this step.
Here's a tutorial to disabling lagfix:
Boot into Recovery and then:
For Speedmod kernel, go into ‘advanced Speedmod ULK features’>’LAGFIX options’, then do the following:
1. Select ‘Disable Lagfix: Convert DATA to RFS’.
2. Select ‘Convert SYSTEM to Ext4/RFS’ and then select Yes.
3. Now select ‘Go Back’ twice, and then select ‘Reboot system now’ to reboot your phone.
4. You will then get a screen saying ‘SYSTEM Conversion requested’. Here, select the option ‘RFS: Convert to RFS’.
5. The phone will again reboot after a little while and say ‘New filesystem config detected. Convert?’ Select Yes.
6. Your lagfixes will now be disabled and your phone will reboot.
Instructions
These are divided into two parts:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1 (Flashing the base ROM 9.2):
THIS PART IS OPTIONAL ONLY IF YOU ARE BRAVE ENOUGH Those who just want to install the CWM zip using darky app can skip this part. This part is for people coming from different bases and to prevent issues when flashing from Part2.
1. Again, a reminder. Backup all your stuff before starting.
2. Wipe/Factory Reset phone. This is required. Turn off phone and then boot into Recovery (Vol UP+Vol Down+ Power Button, then release power while still holding the Vol Up + Down after 2 seconds). Select the 'wipe data/factory reset' option (using Power button if on custom ROM/custom kernel). Then select Yes to do it.
DO A MASTER CLEAR IF POSSIBLE!!
3. Now Run ODIN and connect one end of USB to the computer.
4. Turn off your phone by removing the battery and enter the Download mode by pressing the Vol Up + DOWN and inserting the other end of the USB cord. (Will bring up a screen saying 'Downloading'.) ODIN in computer will say 'Added'.
5. Tick the 'Repartition' option, and then select the following files in ODIN (from the folder you extracted the base package in):
PDA: darky_odin.tar.md5
PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. Press the Start button and wait for it to finish. Once it finishes, ODIN will look like this.
Disconnect the phone from the computer after phone reboots.
7. After ODIN completes procedure and the phone reboots, a screen will come on the phone with 'Android system recovery <2e>' written at the top, and the following text will be written at the bottom:
"E:Invalid command argument
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Muti CSC...
Installing Muti CSC"
Don't panic. Remove battery, Reinsert and Power up!!! And then click reboot.
Congratulations, you have the base Darky's ROM 9.2 installed now.
Now for the next PART.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2 (Flashing DARKYY's 9.5 CWM zip)
1. Copy the CWM zip to your internal sd-card.
2. Flash a Captivate Kernel and Modem using the links provided at the end. Plz post if you need help in this step. (Optional)
3. Open the Market, and search for 'darky' and download the DarkyROM Configurator App and install it.
4. After it is installed, open Darky ROM from the App Menu. Select all the options that you want to install, and deselect the ones you don't want.
SELECT WIPE!!!. This does not wipe your internal SD.
Use Skip Modem and Skip Kernel to use existing modem and kernel. For any other option selected, JQ1 Modem and Speedmod K13D Kernel will be installed.
Do not choose Lockscreen Wallpaper as this may lead to battery drain.
5. After selecting and deselecting the options according to your needs, Press Menu -> Select Zip and FlashReboot.
6. Select Darkys_v9.5_Cappy.zip from your internal sdcard (wherever you have saved it)!!
7. Once the phone boots, you will have everything that you selected in the DarkyROM Configurator. The initial boot time will take some time. This is completely normal (it will show the boot animation). Plz wait for it to complete.
8. That's it. The procedure is complete.
Enjoy the ROM!
PS: Any help needed with installation, using this guide, or using Odin or ADB, please post in forum!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGING AT&T BOOT LOGO!!!! (INITIAL STATIC SCREEN)
This replaces the AT&T boot logo static that is displayed with a customized logo. Do this if you do Part 1. Not tested without Part 1.
Download the attachment file logo_ATNT.jpg This is what your AT&T boot logo is gonna be.. You can edit this, add your own.. But make sure that the name stays the same.
Using ADB tools from PC,
1. Put your logo_ATNT.jpg in the folder where adb.exe exists.
2. In command prompt, adb devices to make sure your phone is connected.
3. adb push logo_ATNT.jpg /mnt/.lfs
4. adb reboot
AND THAT'S IT!! You'll now have your own customized AT&T logo on your phone!!!

ARABIC PATCH - v9.3 and above (Not tested by me)
Full credits go to madmack for this Arabic Patch.
Download [CWM zip Package] http://www.multiupload.com/3WIRIBARMZ
Steps to apply the patch:
Download the patch and extract it to a folder on your computer.
Pull /system/framework/framework.jar from your phone and place it in the subfolder framework that you extracted in step 1
Double click on commands.exe. Do not close the black cmd screens that will pop up. Once the patch is done, you should get a patched framework.jar in the subfolder generated
Verify that the generated framework.jar is bigger than the original framework.jar that you pulled from your device. It should be about 1MB larger.
Place the generated framework.jar in your phone in /system/framework and reboot.
Aljazeera fonts also included in subfolder fonts. You can place these in /system/fonts and reboot
Sometimes permissions and xml data doesn’t get updated correctly resulting in corrupted data entries. If you receive a bunch of Force Closes after a reboot, you’ll need to Factory Reset.

Excellent work. Where can I download that version of Odin because my version looks nothing like that.
Cool cool. Glad to see another JS3 ROM for Captivate

Edit:nvm
Sent from my i897 :: Darky's 9.2 w/SpeedMod K12T ::
Oh wow, nice! Finally
Yeah, I kind of stopped posting about the Darky rom... Oh well. I'm working on two different things right now, one of which might cause thermonuclear war, fry your sd card, and get you fired because your alarm didn't turn on on time.

//Sr for my bad English!
noob question:
"3. Now, turn off your phone by removing the battery and enter the Download mode by pressing the Vol DOWN+Home Key+the Power Button together. (Will bring up a screen saying 'Downloading'.)"

I just flashed this and it's working great, I love it!
Only one little detail that I'm pretty sure you know about.
When you boot, a screen with random dots pops up for a couple seconds before the bootscreen shows up.
Nothing really major, but just making sure you know about it..
Thanks for the awesome ROM!

How to back up your APPS + data (not system data) with Titanium Backup
Go to the market and download and install Titanium Backup
Load up Titanium Backup and allow super user.
Go into Preferences and change Backup Folder name to external_sd/TitaniumBackup (this will save a copy of the files to your external SD card for restoring after flash) then click back and it will reload.
Now go to batch and select backup all user apps. Select the apps you want and hit run batch (top of the screen) once it is finished (you will know as there is a notification in the drop down that it is done) Double check you external sd for the Titanium Backup folder, if it is there then you are good, if not double check the spelling. Make sure it is an underscore between external and sd. ex. external-sd = Wrong..... external_sd = right so it should read external_sd/TitaniumBackup
Ok So you Fully Bricked your Captivate Here is a last ray of hope
Download mode/JIG: ITEMS YOU WILL NEED TO BUY:
-301k OHM Resistor, no more no less & -MicroUSB Board
-Upon receiving items, go here.
-Remove SIM and MicroSD Card
-Plug in JIG and voila, you are back in download mode
-load up odin and flash back to stock
Themes and Stuff
Disable Vodoo before flashing themes like blackfroyo with recovery.
Voltage Settings (If Kernal Supports OC/UV)
VoltageApp settings will stick until reboot, but to get them to stay after rebooting, this is what worked for me; You will need Root Explorer for this one
Setup Voltage App like you want
Menu>Apply for Now
Menu>Save as boot settings
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to /etc/init.d
Locate file saved for boot settings (S_volt_scheduler)
Rename "S_volt_scheduler" to "S_98_volt_scheduler"
Save
Reboot
Open VoltageApp to verify settings stuck

Backing Up your NV_data
Thread With more info
The reason its important to back up your NV_data (Non-volitile) is this has your imei, product code, unlock codes and model. This informatioin is not recreated with a JF6 OCD (One click downloader)
Certain Roms write data to your NV_data
(i think it was JPC leak from I9000 that was the first one. it changed everyones product code to I897ZKAKOR)
Axura changes the product code to I959ZKATMB or something like that
The Correct Product code for our Captivate is I897ZKAATT.
If your IMEI says 004999010640000 this is incorrect also and you may find your phone to stop making calls as this is like a debugging or prototype imei
Finally, if your unlock code is FFFFFFFF, you need this repair in order to unlock your code
All of these can be fixed with Helroz's Repair_nv_data.zip Found Here: http://perso.numericable.fr/helroz/P...ir_nv_data.zip
I did not create the software or any of the instructions, THis is credited to Helroz in the vibrant forum (please thank and donate to him) he came up with all of this, Im just sharing knowlage.

Just read the read me first. then the .Doc Make sure you are at Stock JH7 (I didnt try jf6) and root with busy Box (Super One click by CLShort Fuse worked for me)
Then Step 2,3 and 4. Monitor your phone for SU access attempts, it has several and be patient and read what its asking you to look for,
Now if you havent Backed up your NV_data then now is the time. I Use root explorer and just copy the /efs folder to a safe place (I have a copy on my ext. sd card and a backup hard drive)
You can also Use SGS tools (not SGS tool Box) to do a product code check. This also copies all of the pertenant NV_Data files to a folder on your internal SD card. you can use these also if you want.
Flashing JPP Modem to enable 850
The only guaranteed method for enabling 850 on jpp that is proven to work every time is to:
Flash stock using odin
Flash jg8 modem
Flash rom with jpp modem
Hopping around to other modems and back to jpp after this will kill 850 as well.
For some this is not an issue as they are in areas where 850 is not utilized by AT&T but for others jpp will cause headaches if they try using it without following these steps.
Themes and Graphics
Disable Vodoo before flashing themes like blackfroyo with recovery. (if Running vodoo)
How to change Boot Animation.
1.Find the animation that you want (most be compatible with captivate)
2.Copy bootanimation.zip (it must be named this) with a file explorer that gets you to system files ex. Root explorer to system/media
3.Reboot

oh man took a nap and woke up to this looks like i'll be staying up a lil late
I have a request. Could you skip the GB launcher that seems to be in most roms? Not that I don't like it but being able to drag the phone/messaging/etc buttons around on the dockbar is the most useful thing. TW Launcher is cool. I'm running perception 10.1, one of the main reasons is the launcher
is hardcore's kernel compatible with firefly?
I don't know what u did man, but I'm using Phoenix 3.5 and my GPS has finally worked man, before I get 0 satellites and now I'm getting.like 6/7 in doors! It went from.not working at all ever to smooth has hell.. I can't wait for.firefly, it will get my support/donation

The GB launcher is my favorite. If you have a touch wiz launcher I recommend backing it up. I wish I could accommodate you, but if I do it for you I have to do it for the next. I hope you understand.
I've grown to love Go Launcher, myself.
Looking forward to this, Phoenix 3.5 is pretty awesome! Missed the stock firebird kernel, but I flashed it and its way fast! Great job, looking forward to the latest and great from ya!

What happens after the final I don't care, but I don't want people saying I took their theme or what not so no screens, no problems.
Oh crap! I think I put up the non voodoo, Speed MOd version C version. Oh well, it works great too. That comes with it being a WIP I guess.

[ROM][GB][JVO][6/8/2011]►Continuum v5.6◄i897/i896/i9088►Support forum is Live!◄
Update 13/6/2011: As I stated, I created a support forum for Continuum. I will continue announcing new releases and give support on xda. However, for those willing to find only Continuum related information and news, the link is below.
Continuum Community Support Forum
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, I assume NO RESPONSIBILITY to what you do to your phone! So flashing any of the files linked to in this thread is fully your own mature decision and I will not accept to be blamed for your failure in following the installation steps and understanding the information contained in this thread but mostly in the first 4 posts.
Important Note:
After flashing bootloaders the key combinations to enter recovery/download mode are as follows:
Recovery Vol UP + Power
Download Vol Down + Power or Vol Down + USB insert
It has been reported that an inverted combination (Vol Up instead of Vol Down) worked for some. Try that as well if you can't get the ones above to work
I recommend keeping RFS for best battery life.
As well, keep applications on internal memory, don't move the to the sdcard! Makes the loading slower and some things might not work as they should! You've been warned!
Any referral to Quadrand scores will be ignored!!

Note: Most of the following instructions are valid assuming that you run a Windows machine and your device does not have updated boot loaders (see Galaxy S bootloaders section).

Caution measures:
Make sure you have a full battery
Make sure you have a JIG around just in case (some info about it here and here)
Make sure your cable is in a good status and that it will not cause any interruption between phone and PC while the flash process is ongoing
Make sure KEIS is not not running, you may install it to have the necessary drivers installed
This is difficult but make sure that your computer doesn’t tend to connect and disconnect randomly from USB devices. I cannot support or cover this in any way here, find resources by yourself.
Explanation of technical terms:
ODIN: ODIN is a closed source tool application used by Samsung to “download” the operating system onto a device while the device is in “Download Mode”.
Download Mode: Is a state of the device when the internal memory is made available to a tool hosted on a PC. The tool may then write data on the internal memory.
The internal memory, in this case, refers to the system reserved blocks not the user data blocks. The user data will not be touched while using such a tool (e.g. ODIN).
The Download Mode status can be achieved by using a key combination, ABD command or a custom made USB device aka JIG.
Ways of achieving Download mode using key combinations and ADB:
ADB – from recovery or normally booted with USB debug ON
If you don’t have adb already installed and configured, download this package, extract it somewhere and navigate to that folder in command prompt and type in
adb reboot download
Key combo
Remove the battery, sim, sdcard
Insert the battery back
Hold Volume UP + Volume Down and plug in the USB cable
...Or Hold Volume UP + Volume Down and Power button
Galaxy S BootloadersThink of a boot loader as a BIOS. If you don’t have them (bad flash), the phone needs serviced.
They are 2 and their usage is as follows:
Primary bootloader – boot.bin – used to perform low lever hardware initialization. Importance – HIGH!
Secondary bootloader – sbl.bin – loads the linux kernel and passes the necessary arguments. This is as well responsible for giving you download mode and recovery by using key combo (see Gingerbread update and how to go back to “stock” safely). Phones batch 1008 and newer do not have this capability due to a hardware lock of the feature. Importance – HIGH!
THEY NEED TO BE THE SAME REVISION! You cannot have a primary boot loader from a gingerbread release in tandem with a secondary boot loader from an Éclair or Froyo release. The phone will not boot and will need to be sent to Samsung or ATT for repair. If you find such a package, please address the issue to the creator so he can fix it by including the primary boot loader from the same revision.
How to find out if the firmware that you are going to flash contains boot loaders or not:
The firmware packages that can be flashed with ODIN have .tar or .tar.md5 extension. In both cases, you can open the file with 7zip
[FONT="]L[/FONT]ook inside the file and see if there is a boot.bin and sbl.bin.
Additional information about .rfs images
These images can be opened with MagicISO (shareware)
You can simply assign the program as default for this extension and you can open them just by double clicking.
Gingerbread update and how to go back to stock safely
Gingerbread focuses on graphical performance and I assume there was a need in changing several boot instructions, hence the need of updating the boot loaders.
By updating the boot loaders you take a risk of making your device unusable. However, the files are very small so the chance of this happening is somewhere below 1% (roughly calculated by comparing the number of downloads with the number of bricks)
There are 2 presumably safe ways to go back to stock 2.1
OdinOneClick Downloader – all information necessary is in the main thread – this will erase any trace of custom ROMs installed on your phone
Stock JF6 without boot loaders – all information necessary is in the main thread – this will erase any trace of custom ROMs installed on your phone except bootloaders
Stock JF6 with bootloaders and 3 button combo fix (not available yet!) – I will be working on creating this package – it will do the same as OdinOneClick Downloader except that it will add the 3 button combo fix
Unsafe ways to go back to stock
ODIN JF6 with 3 button combo fix – this will only downgrade the secondary boot loader leaving the primary one untouched. If you ever flash ODIN packages and is mentioned that they include boot loader(s) make sure that they include them both!! BY USING THIS METHOD TO GO BACK TO STOCK FROM MY ROM OR ANY OTHER GINGERBREAD ROM THAT UPDATED BOOT LOADERS, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!
You may use this method ONLY AFTER using OdinOneClick Downloader as that method will revert the primary boot loader as well.
Actual installation steps:
Download latest version of Continuum and put it on sdcard
Optional - return to stock using this method
Optional - only if you dont have latest bootloaders (you can tell by looking at the first picture when you power up the phone, if is white ATT, you dont have the latest bootloaders) - install JVB bootloaders with ODIN in PDA section
download the bootloaders package
Flash this kernel (or any other kernel with CWM3) with ODIN in PDA section with Auto Reboot option unchecked
Pull out the battery and disconnect the cable after ODIN said "RESET"
Reboot in recovery using Volume UP + Power button
Install Continuum from sdcard.
Note: If you have gingerbread bootloaders perform this quick test:
go back to stock using the method i just described above (in the install instructions)
test orientation sensor - open browser and see if it reorients.
if it doesn't work, i recommend flashing again the bootloaders pack
Updates can be found in post number 2 and can be flashed from ClockWorkMod recovery 3 only.
Themes can be found here
Bug tracker
Important Note:
After flashing bootloaders the key combinations to enter recovery/download mode are as follows:
Recovery Vol UP + Power
Download Vol Down + Power or Vol Down + USB insert
It has been reported that an inverted combination worked for some. Try that as well if you cant get the ones above to work
I recommend keeping RFS for best battery life.
As well, keep applications on internal memory, don't move the to the sdcard! Makes the loading slower and some things might not work as they should! You've been warned!

- after installation, go to advanced - reboot in recovery (or pull out the battery and reboot in recovery using the keys combo)
- now you should have CWM3, install the ROM again and reboot

28/4/2011 - v5 RC3 - Download
* assuming that you have already new bootloaders, flash from recovery ONLY AFTER you flashed latest Talon kernel via ODIN - this is a must: latest kernel via ODIN! make sure you perform a hash check first to avoid surprises *
The reason is because ODIN flashed both blm7 and 8 (unlike zips found on xda which only flash bml7) which makes the system more stable
This is how I do it and this is how my rom installs it's kernel, is your choice if you want to flash over without flashing the kernel via ODIN, but dont be sad when I'll say "I told you so"
* this is a wipe release, make sure you backup your apps *
* you may flash this over ext4 partitions (you dont need to disable lagfix) *

* this is a wipe release, make sure you backup your apps *
* for those that run a kernel that allowed them to activate lagfix, disable it before flashing *
Who has problems with Bluetooth or various inexplicable problems, power off your device and turn it on again.

We're not worthy!
and it beings
what the fudge!!!! time to flash me some gingerbread goodness =D
How convenient. The phone is already flashed to stock/cleared and is sitting here with a full battery.
Downloading now.....(NM, I'll hang out for the w/bootloader version)
yep i just came...
seems like a race to the wonderland
it seems like forever for it to upload haha
Sh*t just got real.
EDIT:
Screenshots ?
I already have a JVB rom, and the new bootloader, will the without bootloader package work, or I still need to flash your bootloader one ?

You only have to flash the new bootloader once.
Impatiently waiting for the download link.
So this is just the stock ROM or has anything (besides kernel and key mappings) been changed? Does it need to be rooted or has it been rooted already and comes with su and the superuser app? If it needs to be rooted, will the rageagainsthecage work?
Thanks!

That I got, I've flashed couple of ROMs from I9000 thread, I was just making sure that the only thing missing from "without bootloader" is bootloader, as he says the recovery might not work too.

=================================================
A great ROM.. An excellent MOD as most said...the end of a journey... THE BIRTH OF MIRACLE V4
After 3 versions of MIRACLE, my quest has finally come to an end! It was a great experience modding this great rom by vo-1. I tried to tweak this rom and make it as good as it can be. I really think that it can't get any better than this. MIRACLE V4 was done with lots of love and long hours of reading and testing. I tried to examine all aspects of its functionality with my poor knowledge but very carefully. Personally, I am satisfied with the outcome but that's just an objective matter. There will not be a feature version of this rom as I need to start enjoying my phone after almost a year I got it. I also need to spent more time with my two daughters, I really need some sleep and... you know what? I think MIRACLE V4 is good enough and will be used for quite some time by many. Thanks all for you kind words and support, it's been a blast all this. Maybe I'll start a new project but not after a very long time. Start using V4, I stronlgy suggest you upgrade to this version. Enjoy your ACE!
=================================================
NOTICE 1: MIRACLE V4 works excellent the way it is. It has not been tested with other kernels, mods and tweaks. So I am not held responsible if you do such actions and mess things up. It already includes a lot of tweaks, so adding more will probably not have the desired results. Of course, messing with some tweaks values will not do any harm as long as you know what are you doing. PureMotive's Battery Mod has not been included as most of his tweak already exist in Adrenaline Engine. Also bare in mind that after applying ICSLayouts you can’t use any zipthemer or metamorph patches, otherwise you will end up with problems. But if you really want to, just flash the undo zip to get rid of the layouts and then use such patches.
=================================================
NOTICE 2: I wanted to make MIRACLE V4 just the way it is... a barebone rom. The rom is what it is. Do not ask questions why I didn't include this or that. If I wanted, I would have done that. I give you the freedom to do whatever you want with this rom. I have included though all original deodexed apps of this version in one zip which you can find at the end of this thread and by following tutorial in 2nd post you can easily replace them. Eventually I can't satisfy each and everyone in here. After all, this is my mod! I would also like to ask you to not spam this thread with questions that need to be asked in other forums of ACE.
=================================================

TUTORIAL 1: Finish GPS Configuration
-- Via Root Explorer go to system\etc\gps.conf and press the Mount R/W button on right top
-- Long press the gps.conf, and open with Text Editor
-- First line and replace YOURCOUNTRY with your code that represents your country as seen here
-- Press the continent you live and find how your country code is written. For example greece is gr, hong kong is hk, and so on....
-- If you can't find your country code just choose the continent you live in (e.g. Europe, Asia, etc...)
-- Now GPS is locked in your country (or continent) and you'll get fastest gps ever!

Project MIRACLE
Current version: V3 (FINAL) 22.04.12
CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 by vo-1 (26.03.12)
Modded by itasoulas
Download MIRACLE V3 via Mediafire
A few words
vo-1's rom, in my opinion, is the best CM7 we got so far. I decided to mod this rom to make it faster, smoother…better. I always liked the idea of a barebone rom cause user has the priviledge to add whatever he/she wants without having to delete unwanted system apps. After MIRACLE V1 and V2, and after long hours of reading various threads on XDA and other forums about tweaks, I experimented a lot with certain values and end up with what works best for Galaxy ACE. So now comes MIRACLE V3… the most balanced, fast, stable and lag-free CyanongenMod7. Thanks for developers here on XDA that gave me the permissions to use their scripts, tools and visual components to make MIRACLE V3 an awesome rom. Thanks also for members that supported my effort and provided me with hints and answers. I present to you MIRACLE V3 (FINAL)!
Full Specs of MIRACLE V3
-- Fully deodexed
-- 100% barebone
-- Very lightweight - Only 77,2MB
-- 137MB free internal storage and 86MB in system
-- Plenty of free ram available
-- Adrenaline Engine v3.0 included (1)
-- Additional tweaks in build.prop
-- Journaling disabled (2)
-- GPS/Sensors Patch included (3)
-- Frameworkmod (volume only) included (4)
-- Fixed double setup when phone first starts (5)
-- ICS Theme by Achep set as default theme
-- LauncherPro set as default launcher
-- Roboto font set as default system font
-- Colored icons in Phone Options Menu (6)
-- Blue lockscreen buttons (7)
-- Status Bar supports transparency
-- New lightweight bootanimation (same as V2)
-- Google Play Store 3.5.16 included (original and bug fixed, check Bugs)
-- added vpnservices cause this is really important to some
-- extras at the end of this post (good stuff there + ics layouts)
More Info
(1) I edited the build.prop tweaks in S98system_tweak file. Deleted some tweaks and changed some values
(2) Journaling of ext4 partitions is disabled via an init.d script. The difference between skynet28 patch and my script is that the first disables journaling once and permanently while mine disables journaling at each boot. I’ve contacted him via pm and told me that the script would work just fine and same way as his patch.
(3) I edited GPS/Sensors Patch and updated sources from XXKPT stock rom. All hw libraries from vo-1’s rom were deleted and replaced with libraries from XXKPT
(4) I replaced framework.jar with the one from LPFinch’s frameworkmod that was created for 19.03.12 vo-1’s rom. So now you have 30 volume steps for music/radio
(5) Deleted provision.apk so you don’t have to setup your phone twice after first boot. That was an issue oocuring on original vo-1’s rom
(6) I edited framework-res.apk and replaced "Phone Options" Menu Icons with colored ones taken from Mixer Theme by MrDSL
(7) I edited framework-res.apk and replaced lockscreen button with blue ones taken from SteelBlue Theme by edint3000 (Team Carbon)
System apps that have been removed (37 in total)
ADWLauncher – Androidian – Calculator – Camera - CMStats – CMUpdateNotify – CMWallpapers – Cyanbread – Developrment – DSPManager – Email – FileManager - Gallery3D – GenieWidget – GoogleBackupTransport – GoogleFeedback – GooglePartnerSetup – GoogleQuickSearchBox – HTMLViewer – LatinImeTutorial – LiveWallpapers – LiveWallpapersPicker - MagicSmokeWallpapers – MediaUploader – Mms - Pacman – Protips – Provision – QuickSearcBox – RomManager – Stk – Talk – Torch – VisualizationWallpapers – VoiceDialer - YouTube
Installation procedure
1. Βοοt into CWM5 Recovery
2. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik
3. format cache/data/system/sd-ext
4. flash MIRACLE V3.zip
5. reboot
6. almost done!
7. Finalize GPS configuration by following TURORIAL 1 - 2nd post.
8. Now it's done...enjoy!
Check 2nd post for tips/faqs and troubleshouting
Bugs (fixed)
Google Play Store - Method1: Once phone boots for first time, do your google account sign in, and open Google Play Store for the first time. Accept Conditions and then close it. Use link2sd or similar app to clear Google Play Store's data and uninstall it. Reboot phone. Then via root explorer place it manually on system\app and change permissions (do this as described in TUTORIAL 5 - 2nd post. Advanced users already know how to do this). Reboot phone. We do all this cause otherwise Google Play didn't update some apps before like Superuser. Now works perfect! Vending.apk is also attached at the end of this post
Google Play Store - Method2: Once phone boots for first time, do your google account sign in, and open Google Play Store for the first time. Accept Conditions and then close it. Use link2sd or similar app to clear Google Play Store's data and uninstall it. You can also do this, from Settings, Applications. Reboot phone. This works for some users also so either method1 or method2 would do the jod. I suggest first try method2 cause it's easier and then if it doesn't work do method1
Screenshots (including layouts)
Extras
-- For those who want some or all default apps that were removed from system,here are the links for all default system apps. Links includes all original deodexed apps that existed in system\app
Download via Mediafire
Small correction: This link trully contains original system apps. That means original systemui.apk that has no transparency. The default systemui from MIRACLE V3 that supports transparency is attached at the end of this post if someone ever need it.
-- For those who want Status Bar with transparency supported, centered clock and centered date here is the link. I personally edited the status_bar.xml and works great.No overlapping of date over clock, no overlapping when receiving any kind of notifications but if too many icons on status bar then they will overlap clock.
Download via Mediafire
-- ICS Layouts for MIRACLE V3 (for original systemui, clock on right)
Download via Mediafire
-- ICS Layouts for MIRACLE V3 (for modified systemui, clock on center)

-- Some icons packs that I already have and thought it would be nice to share so you can change your dock bars icons or some apps icons

=================================================
Bugs and issues
-- If too many notices on status bar then will overlap centered clock
-- Even though Sansation font was created for multi-language support and complex writting, you may experience some weird characters FIXED
-- Sometimes when pressing search in Play Store or address bar on browser, app dissapears and only keyboard shows. If you start typing app will appear again
-- Low screen backlight when booting phone but brightness gets back to normal level after a few secs. It's a FireKernel issue and maybe this was done to save battery
-- On 16.06.12 update torch is working but not in status bar as a power widget.
=================================================
Benchmarks

7. XPERIA S Wallpapers
8. Cosmic Flow Live Wallpaper
9. CM7.2-RC3-APOCALYPSE-BAREBONE-12.06.12 mms, camera, real player and email are gone but beats+alsa+audiofx, torch and livewallpaperspicker are still on.
10. ICSApocalypse-Original Theme Still 90% transparent windows with blue frame/white glow but no transparency in all other aspects. You have to push it manually to system app and change permissions to rw-r--r--
11. Sansation-Regular Edited by itasoulas. This is the DroidSans.ttf font. To be used for those download rom prior to 12.06.12. Rename the file to DroidSans and replace the one in system\fonts, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. That should fix weird characters issue for most languages
12. To crop portrait walls search Google Play Store for "Crop Wallpaper" app. Does not run in background. Best ever
13. APOCALYPSE-19.06.12 + ICS Layouts ==> My personal mod of this rom ALL IN ONE .rar file

Did you update the Adreneline engine? or you put it here to update itself?
Did you include the Xperia S lockscreen?

there is no need to flash Apocalypse Layouts-undo, coz when you flash Apocalypse Layouts-patch and reboot status bar will be in its place.
Should I still flash Apocalypse Layouts-undo?
Why such a convoluted and not an exact guide?

Ok...Achep for some reason suggest in his thread that the patch-undo-patch procedure must be done in order for layouts to be installed correctly. I don't know why but he's the one created the patcher. That seems to be true cause if you try to integrate the patched apps and framework-res into rom prior flashing you will always end up with a bootloop. Strange but that's the way it is.
Also the installation procedure is in 4 steps and must be done in that order. For example, after testing I found out (for some weird reason) that if you first do the layouts installation and then the AE installation, status bar is completely gone. Maybe it's the launcher that causes that problem.
Anyway, hope I answered correctly
