[ROM][froyo]-di11igaf's Rom v2.5 AND BETA 3.0- 12/16/10

NO LONGER SUPPORTED
ODIN 1 CLICK TO STOCK JF6 BEFORE FLASHING 2.0[/B
Added updated flashable zip to bottom of post which includes some theme updates, apk updates and themes, and some window animations. This post will be hopefully be updated tomorrow with a newer version, and this clockwork flashable .zip should hold off those who waiting on the rom update.
first boot will take a bit.
This is a brand new rom ive been working on for the last few days. Based on newest i9000 froyo release UGJK3 (build date 11/18) and tweaked from there.
-SetiroN 1.5 kernel -user configurable OC up to 1460/default is 1200(go to 1400's at your own risk
-haptic feedback works on ALL buttons
-OC/UV support-voltage control app installed to /data/app
-BLN added and required lights.so lib added to /data/app
-apps and framework deodexed and optimized
-zipaligned
-rooted, busybox and sqlite included
-extended power controls(reboot, recovery, download)
-Captivate dialer, camera, etc. (no video chat references)
-Completely themed with pieces from all of my favorite themes(pics of theme seen HERE
-Fixed build.prop so protected apps can be seen on the market
-Big APN file for instant inernet/mms access
-ad-blocking
-AOSP themed lockscreen
-HSUPA enabled -comes with UGJK3 modem(no need to do anything crazy to get 850 working-this modem works as is)
-this rom will not switch back and forth between H and 3g, the symbol should stay on 3g even if hsupa is enabled and working
-comes with SWYPE, dark Droid X multitouch keyboard, and samsung keyboard
-Launcher Pro and TWlauncher included in /system/app
it seems like Samsung took some advice from gtg with the twlauncher(never seen the stock launcher this fast or smooth)
-removed some junk apps
-added
voltage control 2.0
cyanogen MMS (switch background color-white/black)
updated maps and youtube
flash player will auto-install
Starting with v3.0, d1g1talphyre will be helping with all future versions of the rom. Im going to be extremely busy is in the upcoming weeks so this will help me get 3.0 out faster to you guys.
3.0 changelog-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9876005&postcount=597
3.0.1-only difference is the power menu fix. there is a .zip for those who have 3.0 already around page 76 or so.
here is a link to a circle batt mod made by d1g1talphyre. this framework-res.apk will only change the circle batt and thats it. rest of the theme is the same.

When you apply your lagfix, choose option one when prompted "backup AND restore"
Install Instructions:
as always, its best to flash to stock JF6 with the odin one click downloader.
copy this rom to your internal sd card, and after flashing stock. flash this through Clockwork Recovery. thats it. no need to do anything with the jg8 modem or anything like that.
on first flash, all=ext4 is enabled by default-if you want to use something else, select go back to recovery then go to the lagfix options and enable whatever you want. when your prompted with the options about backing up, i suggest choosing option 1. this will do a backup and restore so you will not lose any apps(the other options you will lose the apps in /data)
credits:
SetiroN for his kernel
Reefermattness-used some of his icons for dialer and his setting icons

Credit to xcaliberinhand-he made the original kernel for us to be able to use i9000 roms and hsupa modems

Been looking forward to this.
Thanks, I'll try it tonight.

i hadn't planned on it, but it looks like i'll be flashing today

sweet! downloading and flashing @ work, excited to test.

I couldnt apply lag fix right away had to reboot first ... BUT it did tell me my configs changed ???? ... I chose option 1 and noticed it set up like this
ext4
rfs
ext4
false
false
false
false
?????
booting up was about 2 minutes on android logo
reboot to recovery then fix it to no rfs advanced ... ( all jfs )
looking good I previously dropped this rom because of modem giving me issue
will set my stuff and report back if needed .
PS why is the Fm app always in your rom ? do you hope it will work at one point ?

looks great yay launcher pro included

you few that download already, here is a better videoplayer.apk. it doesnt fix the problem, but at least youll be able to view your recorded videos from /sdcard-dcim-camera. still looking at problem and trying to find a fix.
from this point on this video player is included with the rom.(reuploaded)

some people have said if that app is removed it can cause problems. if you dont like it, remove it from /system/app.
first boot will take a while as it zipaligns and deodexes.
and btw this rom has nothing in common with my other di11is darkyy rom except my theme. this is my own base.

Ive been running your darky rom 2.0.1 for a day with the jk3 modem. Downloading now to check out the CM mms. I hope its the one with the notification vibration types like multiple long.

thx bro. was planning on reflashing myself to verify.

My home button didnt work either, not sure about lock screen. Flashing back to stock now.

My home button worked fine. hmmm, also I can confirm the video player.apk in the first post for us couple who downloaded early is letting me play video. But just as stated, can only open it from file manager to view.
great rom so far, its fast. Yes, I did run benchmarks, not that they really matter anymore. can notice the difference in speed when deleting widgets, open anything. It screams, props di11igaf, awesomely quick rom.

just downloaded my own file, reflashed to stock put the downloaded file on my sd and flashed again with no probs. first thing i did though was apply lagfix and when the backup and restore options pop up make sure you choose the first option to backup and restore all data.
let me know if you do reflash this if you have the same problem.

preciate it, will try later. problem probably because i apply lagfix "without backup and restore."

ahh ya i bet thats why. not sure why it really would matter(since the problem your describing would be an android.policy.jar problem) but im gonna try it that way and see if it makes a difference. thats the only thing different that we did though.
also i think if you apply the lagfix that way, any apps in the rom that are in /data/app by default will not be restored-at least this has happened to me in the past and why now i always do a backup and restore.

I did a yes without backup and restore, and the home button ain't workin.

Updated from previuos ROM (120202) wiping only partition cache and dalvik cache, I don't know what is wrong but ROM was really laggy, USB storage mode didn't work, so I'm backing up to previous version. Maybe should try updating with full factory reset, but it would be to weird.

with full wipe USB mount storage working normally.
flashed this firmware but do not see any changes.

CM updated the Lunar amendment sonic boom amendment, music player, SD card mounted to the probability of failure
Translated this is his changelog...fix some lunar calendar and something about music and sd...who know..geno's cm's are great as allways!!

What about the sound, still ****ed up?

I don't know, but I wish to know if in next updates it's possible to keep data, because it's very annoing to reinstall all apps from titanium backup (free).
I have update my old Ideos (U8150) today and I don't wipe anything.
Good work to all devs!

It would be better if i had never done it... Stuck on Huawei flower after installetion. Nevermind, waiting for Aurora updates

Using this rom for more than two days.
No bugs found.
No restarts.
Antutu result with 1ghz 3105
with 1.5 ghz 3948
Wifi working as expected.
haven't found something wrong with sound, actualy could you point me what was wrong with it?
No exceptional battery drain noticed.
I am happy with it! however I am very waiting for kernel 3 for aurora

When the screen turns off, so does wifi for some odd reason. Is it just me or does anyone else have that problem?

[Q] Typhoon colour changes with 3.8.0

I can't post this question in the Typhoon thread as despite using the Rom for a year I don't post much!
I've searched the thread and not found an answer....
I've been using Typhoon since 3.7.0, and recently upgraded from 3.7.6 to 3.8.0
The colour scheme seems to have changed....battery level and signal strength levels in the notification bar, and the email and messages icons on the home page were green and are now blue!
OK it's a small thing, but I wonder why this has happened, and, actually I preferred the green, so is there somthing I can change to put it back
Obviously the fact I'm asking such a minor question shows what a good Rom it is and all thanks to Tyween etc for the work.
Thanks in advance.....

I did an ROM upgrade only.....Noting the post from Walidhazem above stating it is a 7.2 Vs 7.1 thing, I wonder what caused you to maintain the Green?
I don't use an sd-ext partition....

Thanks both.....

after you take the full backup in cwm, do a wipe data / factory reset(in cwm) then flash the new version, let it boot clean to the 'welcome to android' screen, then reboot the phone, enter cwm - backups and restore - advanced restore - select the backup folder - and you can selectively restore whichever partitions you like, in the normal case you restore the data partition, and the sd-ext partition only, meaning the system is the new rom, and the data and installed apps from the old rom get restored and all is as it was before the flash when you reboot into android, but with the new version in the /system partition.

Assuming that you just want to restore it to the old colour scheme, go to the T-Mobile theme Chooser (the icon looks like an Android with 4 colours) and change the theme back to system instead of Cyan

The default theme was changed to cyanbread in 7.2rc, so either you can delete the two lines containing cyanbread/theme/tmobile in your build.prop or just go to theme chooser and select systemUI

Yeah, I don't understand how it works but for some reason whenever I got the navigation and notification bar to disappear I just flashed the softkey mod and it appeared again . Hopefully someone more technical than me will make a use of it and design a better fix.

Big thanks for sharing this mate! Using a couple of these mods now, and that Greenify app is AWESOME. No idea how I haven't heard about it before

hi shem2409,
ok. 2 things:
- that is most probably my fault but the softkey_...._black.zip also gives you a black background for both, status and navigation bar. I could have been more descriptive in my post... sorry =)
- Ticklefish's Black status+ notification bar mod should give you in addition this:
Ticklefish said:
I've also changed the background of the toggles on the notifications screen to black as well. Looks nice, huh?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but since both mods change SystemUI.apk they are going to overwrite each other. and if you flash the softkey mod, the black background of the toggles should be gone? can you confirm that? (the bars will still be black - since you flashed the softkey_black.zip)
and there could be a problem when doing mine and ticklefishs mod in the opposite order: I've put the ".odex file" into the SystemUI.apk, so it runs with odexed and deodexed roms - but it deletes the SystemUI.odex during installation (this is needed so the one from inside the apk is taken by android). Since ticklefish's mod does not have that "odex file" included (it's actually "classes.dex" when it's inside an apk), it will not work if you install his mod after the softkey mod...
so as far as I can tell from here (I haven't tried it out - just have looked at the files), step 5 is overwriting the changes made in step 4.
cheers and thanks for the video tutorial!

If you were to flash smaller soft keys, would games and apps scale correctly or would the image just be stretched? So right now if the soft keys occupy 100 pixels in height, and was changed to 50, would games use the extra pixels? Would it be stretched to fit or would it run at a higher resolution? Or would there be a dead space?

I checked in a couple of games and the bar remains smaller in the games, so I guess the game is stretched to fit the extra screen space.

I have modified the information in my post to account for what you thought me. Thank a lot for that. Tbh I always flashed one after the other and never even checked that flashing small softkeys on their own would do the job.

After TWRP backup I would install, Titanium backup, and do a backup of all the apps and settings, then install an optimised ROM, then 4 and 5 are covered in most cases.

If someone is on locked bootloader there is a limited number of ROMs available at the moment and tbh I haven't found one with smaller softkeys yet. As far as I am concerned the only one for locked bootloader available is the one in the link under my video. I could be wrong though.

Well, flash the smaller keys separately.

I have added the new MOD to add a background to the notification bar to the list.

Possible fix for touch screen issue. ( updated )

Hello all.. so i started working again on hacks for android. I literally stopped it when i sold my sony xperia z5 premium and bought some samsung device.( It is literally no pleasure to work with all those s6 edge, s7 edge and note 5.. sorry samsung.. but your software is nothing but a nightmare for guys like me) .
I was desperate to buy a pixel 2 xl , waited so long to arrive at markets near me.. and when it arrived.. i grabbed one soon.. its a joy to hold this device.. well .. every happiness comes with some sorrows..
As soon as i got my pixel 2 xl, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it in just 2 hours after i got it.. so.. even though this device is an awesome gadget to play with.. it have its own drawbacks at several things..
1) of course the infamous display issues.. ( lol.. those haters may wont even know what OLED( or pOLED) display does..
2) crackling of speakers ... Well i am not worried.. i know its something to do with the software.. and google or even we xda geniuses will fix it soon.. ( btw.. i am looking into some solutions)
3) touch screen sensitivity... Ya.. you heard it right.. this pannel have some touch issues.. may be most of you or some of you have noticed it now.. if you dont.. try a glass screen protector..
So while i was not able to fix the speaker issue by now ( my device is just 4 days old.. and i noticed it yesterday only, as i haven't even started using it with a sim card yet) , i possibly have a solution for touch sensitivity .. i just found it 10 minutes before creating this post. ( Thanks to some old knowledge for some sony hacks back in those days) ..
Way too boring talks?? Sorry.. i am basically a story teller type guy.. ok. No more stories.. lets get it done.
1) go to your favorite root file manager ..
2) go to - system / vendor/ usr / idc .
3) you will see a file named touchscreen.idc
4) open it with any text editor and remove all values from it and add these lines ( or replace with the attached file)
device.internal = 1
touch.deviceType = touchScreen
touch.orientationAware = 1
touch.filter.level = 0
touch.size.calibration = diameter
touch.size.scale = 5
touch.size.bias = 5
touch.size.isSummed = 0
touch.gestureMode = pointer
touch.pressure.calibration = physical
touch.pressure.scale = 0.00000125
touch.distance.calibration = none
touch.distance.scale = 0
touch.gestureMode = spots
MultitouchSettleInterval = 0.1ms
MultitouchMinDistance = 0.5 px
TapInterval = 0.5 ms
TapSlop = 0.5 px
touch.orientation.calibration = none
touch.coverage.calibration = box
5) save the file with its previous permissions ( i use filemanager named xplore, which automatically saves it with previous permissions)
6) reboot your device.. and enjoy your super responsive touch screen..
Guys.. please let me know your experience.. for further goods and bads..
Thank you..
Oh.. btw.. i have a bonus knowledge to share too..
If you find your colour calibration ( or colourfulness!! ) Of your device is low even after googles " saturated mode" , you can adjust it in build.prop file.
1) go to - system / vendor
2) open build.prop file in your fave text editor.
3) find this line - " persist.sys.sf.color_saturation=1.1 "
4) change the value to " persist.sys.sf.color_saturation=1.5 " or so..
5) you can go all the way upto "persist.sys.sf.color_saturation=2" but not more..
6) save file with its previous permissions
7) reboot and enjoy you " Samsung'ish " display..
Nb:-
dont burn ur eyes with all those alien looking colours with value of 2.. just keep it under 1.5 or so... Guys.. keep it as pixel, why go for that samsung colours
Wishes..
All praise Lord Dinkan..

Just tried it. Will report. If this fixes the telegram push to talk button, I will be overjoyed!

Never mind.. the changes don't stick. I can edit the 2 files mentioned but after a reboot they back to the way they were. Tried multiple root browsers. Always after a reboot, everything is back stock settings. What am I missing?

Holy crap! Nice find my friend. I'll definitely be looking into this. Thanks a bunch! :good::good:

Same here. Didn't survive the reboot.

That's kinda strange. I edited it with root explorer, rebooted, and the settings stuck! Definitely can tell the difference on my smart keyboard pro :good:

I didn't have general swipe issues, the only thing I had trouble with was swiping up on the lock screen to bring up the pin pad. Usually it took me two or three times before the pin pad would actually come up. In any event, I just tried your touch sensitivity suggestion, except that I just set it to .000125 (because I don't have a glass screen protector on it, and I didn't want it to be too sensitive), and that worked absolutely beautifully. I was just able to pull up the pin pad about 15 times in a row with absolutely no issues. Thank you so much!
If you can fix the crackling speaker sound, you'll be a god in my eyes! In my opinion, that is the only issue I have left with this phone.
I'll hit the thanks button tomorrow, I'm all out of thanks for today.

There is two system folder system and system_root..
Also there is a vendor folder outside system folder..
I dont know the system structure yet ( as i didn't disassemble the factory images yet ) .. so i dont know why this all confusing folder structure..
Btw.. i think you have looked into system_root folder or vendor folder outside system folder..
Make sure u go into system ( not system_root) and find the file..
System - vendor - usr - idc..
Or may be just your filemanager didn't saved the value??

Meh....just make him a special font package bro. That'll be some good thanks for sure! :good:

Root explorer doesn't save the change for some odd reason. I just tried xplore as well with no change. Once I reopen the file the value was back to stock.

Like the OP said. The pic shows the proper path to the file. This is using root explore.

Dtbo image causing this maybe? I'm using the unofficial magisk without patching the dtbo.

Avb 2.0 dm verity has to be patched in the dtbo image in order to edit the vendor partition. The above fix will stick once the dtbo image is patched. Will not stick without the patch.

Hey Golfc, you seem to know this magisk stuff pretty well. I'm still using the 14.5 zip, but using the 5.5 app. As you can see by the pic, force encryption and the AVB thingy are checked off. Everything is working fine. Would that change if I flashed the 14.6 version?? Only reason I haven't is I don't want to mess up my V4A. Any insight is greatly appreciated :good:

What's the correct way for me to get onboard with the official magisk with a patched dtbo?
I have twrp installed already and using custom kernel. Uninstall the unofficial magisk from magisk manager then flash stock boot image, flash stock dtbo image, flash custom kernel then flash official magisk?
Thanks
I'm sure I need to reflash twrp.zip somewhere during that process to keep from getting the stock recovery.

Are you still getting the internal storage corruption message on boot? Your dtbo image is still patched then. It will not change by updating to 14.6. The only way to change is to fastboot the stock dtbo image and flash 14.6. In your current situation, all you would have to do is flash stock dtbo image and 14.6 Your Viper will still work.

I don't know what is the problem with your file manager bro.. i changed and checked it several times.. every single time it is working.. actually i have some more tweaks with touch.. i am experimenting some values.. so i put on each values and checking every single time..

Thanks bud. Not sure about the V4A that Zackptg5 helped create. Been reading that magisk 14.6 is causing it not to work. Guess I'll find out. Thanks again :good:

1. Fastboot stock dtbo image and stock boot image
2. Reboot Twrp recovery from bootloader screen
2. Flash Twrp, custom kernel and Magisk 14.6 in one session.
No need to uninstall anything. I also assume your custom kernel uses a Ak2 zip for flashing.

But i seriously doubt that the kernal configuration for touch screen calibration and the actual driver values of the touch screen drivers are some how miss matched.. the sensitivity is way too low at extreme bottom corners of the display ( both left and right bottom corners) .. but i have tweaked the values to give much better touch response than original. For now i think we can deal with the problem this way till google or some of us will come out with better solution.
