[ROM] [TILAPIA] [AOSP] [RC1] Synman GwT w/ Full Telephony + LegacyCamera

[ShellDude]

Enclosed is an experimental AOSP build for the N73G for those wanting to stay as close to the intended Google Experience as possible. SMS and MMS are fully functional as is tethering. This ROM is slim with no bloat or non experience apps loaded and should serve well as a daily driver or as a base ROM for theming / framework hacks when the modder doesn't want to go through the trouble to create their own full build.

As with all things Android, proceed at your own RISK.

FEATURES / HIGHLIGHTS

• Pure AOSP (built from source) 4.2.1 [full_tilapia-userdebug JOP40D]
• Native dialer is exposed, but GSM voice capability still not possible
• Orientation Sensor supported Dialer
• Tethering & Hotspot is enabled
• Full APN list
• Full SMS and MMS Send & Receive
• APN Settings Editor Preference no longer a dialog (exposed actions)
• Phone Settings (and its children) no longer dialogs (fixes SIP Providers Editor)
• Camera & Video Record via LegacyCamera
• Rock Solid ROM - As stable as stock
• Pre-rooted with SuperSU
• /system/bin/mountrw.sh for ease of rw mounting
• No SimpleSmsReceiver
• AOSP NotePad included
• Audible SMS Playback
• Best with Craig Gomez's Google Apps Pack (see below)

What's Broke:

• GSM Voice Communication (SIP works fine)
• Camera Panorama Mode

Install Instructions (assumes already unlocked):

With RC1 I have converted to a CWM/TWRP Recovery based install. Download the RC1 zip file and place it in the root of your sdcard directory. Boot into CWM or TWRP recovery, select the RC1 zip file and allow it to install.

Once the install is complete, perform a Factory Reset of your N73G (requires full wipe).

Reboot and allow RC1 to fully boot.

Optionally (highly recommended), install the recommended GAPPS package referenced below.
