Google Chrome offered to translate the website when I went to , it does good enough to get by :P I couldn't find the site you found but that seems easier than my way haha.

I tried using Google translate, no luck... :rolleyes:

Do I need to include iPhone ring-tones as a separate zip, or can I include them with Alpha1?? Would it be illegal to add them in?

[PatrickAkridge]

Getting an error when I try to flash Alpha1.zip (I redid alpha1 today)

"End of central directory not found... Installing.. can't open /sdcard/Androidstuff/A1.zip (bad)"

This happens if I turn signature verification OFF.

If I turn it ON, I get status 0

Here is the recovery.log file from /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log

Those two different ways of flashing GIVE THE SAME ERROR...

Developers? How do I fix this????

EDIT - It was the Zip Signer I was using.. I should have suspected something when ADB copied the so called "ROM" over to the sdcard in 0.18sec..

Won't sign files from now on..

[vernotzy21]

That's probably EXACTLY what it is..

The HTC Shift's Screen-size is not MDPI.. It like 800 by something..

Could that REALLY cause a FC in google.process.acore???

Yes....

ROM Update:

Alpha1 is built and running completely. Everything works; will upload here in the OP tonight or tomorrow morning..

Have to practice my Clarinet tonight when I get home in preperation for State Band Tryouts in November. So, I don't know if I will have time tonight. If not, it will be uploaded tomorrow.

You guys will LOVE Alpha1. There are just some bugs I am working out..

I switched the port from the HTC Shift 4G to the LG Optimus V.

Screen Lock Sound doesn't work right now, but EVERYTHING else (including 3G/Data) works.

Updating the OP Now...

Alpha1's Messaging, 3G/Data, 1X/EDGE, Camera, Video Recorder, and everything else works...

There is just a little twist to it all...

[PatrickAkridge]

Alpha1 and Screenshots ARE up and running!

[Pkt_Lnt]

Alpha1 and Screenshots ARE up and running!

Cool, I can make my Opti look like my iPod Touch!

That's the idea.

[prowlingfox]

so....maybe remove this line from the OP? ;D

Please do remember that you can't do anything with this ROM right now... You can charge, unlock the AWESOME lock-screen, see notification area and quick settings/toggle area, and see the power-off menus, and power-off. You can't get around the ROM right now, but I am seeking help and trying to figure out how to fix the FC's..

Also, a suggestion, you have to scroll for what seems like an eternity to get past the screenshots to the install instructions. maybe put the screenshots after the instructions, or eliminate some of the screenshots and give a link to them somewhere else?

I am looking forward to trying out this ROM soon!
Good work.

Will Do.. Thanks..

[prowlingfox]

Soon?

When I get a little bit of free time to just sit and mess with my phone, haha. I'll be out and about all day, but perhaps tonight.

Freaking amazing. Just flashed, got 3g with instructions, enabled wifi, made a call.

I am blown away.

Gotta finish setup so I can show my friends my new iPhone 6. LOL

edit -

Duh, works better if I flash the correct gapps; the one for ics does not work so well (roll eyes)

Thanks.. In the next build, I'll hopefully fix the "ON and OFF" Sliders in all of the apps (I hate "| and O".. It DRIVES me NUTS)..

And then fix the "Virgin Mobile" branding and some of the grammar errors in Settings..

Just sent this link as hate mail to my iphone-fanboy friend.

[hlxanthus]

I love it dude !

DIE APPLE FANBOYS ! LOL (just kidding, I love my iPad)

[Va1ha11a]

I love my iPad

I think that's mostly because:
1. Android so far hasn't put as much thought into tablets as Apple (ICS is good for tablets, but not every tablet has it). Honeycomb was pretty bad, and ICS is mostly fixing those problems. I think the nexus 7 is coming, and things will change.
2.(This one's the kicker). IOS has more apps than android. While android has plenty of apps too, the proportion of tablet apps on IOS is much higher. That's rapidly improving, but it's got a ways to go. I don't know how many times I've read the description of an updated on my transformer prime that said "Optimized for tablets" or some such. Devs are still getting there, and that's why (except for android fanboys) an ipad is still the top choice.

hey great rom! but my backlit keys stay on :/

[PatrickAkridge]

Try wiping system, boot, data, cache, dalvik cache when you flash..

Mine doesn't do it so it must be something that is giving you a problem..

Try wiping system, boot, cache, dalvik cache and flash the ROM again..

EDIT - My KEYS DO stay on ONLY when I am charging, but no other time..

Yeah.. try that to see if it fixes it.. I am guessing that your keys are lit constantly (all the time)....

If you mean that they are lit when charging, I will look in how to disable the key back-light while charging...

[PatrickAkridge]

WILL be putting a "ON and OFF" slider switch patcher tomorrow...

Built the flash-able zip for the patcher, but the "OFF" .png file in Settings needs work... The "O" is cut off by the middle button slider thing..

I will fix the .png file tomorrow and zip it up and post it.. It is just one or two .png files so it shouldn't take but two seconds..

Thanks for a GREAT community of Joylicious Optimus lovers!!
