[ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & EXT Data

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

I appreciate more and more interest being shown for this phone! I am well aware of boot animations, I'm working on that problem. When I enable them, they do not go away without killing the system process, meaning you never see the home screen, though ddms shows everything actually being started and running fine.

As for deodexing, the first time I ran a deodexing the phone and mms apps went crazy with fc's until you wiped data, then started up again if you rebooted. Did you do anything different?

Recovery was done by Shabby, as I don't currently know how to build it. Thanks for the resize, I'll be sure to take a look at it possibly put it in the official 0.3 release.

And as for wiping data on install, it has to. The way I made it was that it would format the file system to ext4 to get rid of Samsung's "rfs" system.

I hope I didn't miss any points you made? Again, glad to see more interest in such a non-popular phone. I was actually about to post the rom over at xda once I released 0.3.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot the update part. The update prompt is still going to show up for some people now that Boost has been added. It checks the build.prop for the latest version, so it will obviously look for a specific string. I plan to release Sprint and Boost versions out of caution and the update annoyances.

PS: Your link says "0.3" in the file name, but it's only at 0.2 so far ;)
Thanks for the quick reply, Firehak. Yeah, you are right about the filesystem converting over to ext4. I totally overlooked that when I mentioned the wipe. I am working on the issue now about the system update issue. Do you think if we change the build.prop to say its the FA19 it will quit? Just a thought.... I was thinking about changing the fingerprint on the build.prop anyway for the full Market app experience.

I didn't want to change the actual version of the ROM until other people have tried it and reported back with little or no issues at all. If I can fix the system update problem, then I will correctly rename it to .03. :)

EDIT: Once I fix the issue and change version to .03 should I just start a new thread? Or continue to post here?

Changing all EK18 references to FA19 on will stop Sprint's nagging update message. EK03 is the latest for boost I believe. I already stopped it in the test build of 0.3 I'm running. I'm almost done with changes, and then I'll need a Boost user to test it, then 0.3 will be out.

Something that just popped into my head, by the way. I don't mind mods to the rom, it is pretty basic after all. I just ask that you continue to credit myself, Shabbypenguin, and Drmlook for our work.

If you're going to make simple edits, probably just post here with the notice that it is a simple change from PhoeniX. If you plan to change a lot and continue supporting it, it would be best to start a new thread and credit our work as your rom base.

Hi guys.*Preemie Question Alert:So will this get root for Sprint 2.3.6FA19?.Again,thank you all for your patience.
 
Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

FYI folks - the EK18 version still runs parts of carrier IQ, so if you don't want that nonsense on your phone, I'd recommend installing firehak's 0.3 ROM coming out soon.
 
Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

Alright, i don't mean to sound like a noob. But i've got a samsung replenish, and I recently installed a Mod that would give it a black navigation bar instead of white using Metamorph. Upon restart however, it kept crashing after the samsung logo. So i did a factory restore.

it didn't work, so i then looked all over the internet (almost nothing online except leafrom and pheonix). So i used pheonix rom 0.2 via the whole Odin thing. However, I can't get my phone to boot anything anymore.

Upon plugging it into the computer, it just charges the batter (battery animation). So when i Use odin to flash (via "Download mode") i can get as far as installing the rom using the "install from .zip" option in recovery. However, after that and restarting, it still just goes from rebooting, and then the battery charge screen. So it can't reboot...what do i do?

First, you need to be deodexed before you modify the system framework. I am sure that is why your phone won't boot. The mod you installed was installed in the /system folder. When you do a factory reset, it only wipes /data. Therefore, the mod you installed is still there, and thus won't boot. Look around the thread for EK18 Stock Odin Images, and reflash.

Hope this helps.

I get where nchanted_1 could be confused about the theme, but he isn't still applying a theme anymore. GB comes black standard, Neofox_04 is just installing the rom which does replace /system.

It sounds to me like you're turning the phone off instead of using the reboot options. When the phone powers down and is plugged into usb/an outlet, it automatically boots into battery charging mode. After you install the zip file in CWM, either use reboot from the menu (which sometimes reboots back into CWM recovery mode..), or unplug the usb cable before powering off. That way the phone will have the chance to fully boot.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that clockwork likes to reboot into clockwork again. :) Thanks for the reminder. :) Something else we need to work on. Did you try that deodexed yet? Is YOUR version 0.3 gonna be deodexed?
 
Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

I haven't tried yours because I've been in the middle of testing 0.3. Did you do anything different or have to try anything extra when you deodexed? I'll give it another go, but if apps started force closing again then it won't be officially for awhile.

EDIT: Have you uploaded your re-sized recovery image anywhere? I'm interested in trying that out.
EDIT 2: Just dumped my younger brother's stock FA19 Replenish with CWM5 so I can get you all back on stock, should you ever want or need too. I now have stock dumps of Sprint and Boost models.

Another double post (I should really stop that, huh?)! Sorry to keep double posting in my own thread here, but I thought I should because this has nothing to do with the previous post.

With the last issue I'm trying to fix being custom boot animations, I thought PhoeniX could use some artwork and came up with these while taking a break. What do you guys think?

Boot/Splash screen - 240x320px
PhoeniX-boot.png

Wallpaper - 1920x1080px

All drawn using Gimp, then Inkscape to smooth and scale the parts, then imported back to Gimp. I rather like them.. Keepers for official boot screen perhaps? :) Credit was given on the wallpaper because it's much easier to fit all 3 of our names on a 1080p image, unlike our small Replenish's resolution D: Shabby and DMRLook deserve every bit of credit as me in this project because of their work.

I like it :-) I have to say, I am excited to try out 0.3. I am really grateful for all the hard work you guys do. Between 0.2 and the kernel my performance and battery life have increased tremendously. Thanks so much! You guys are awesome!
 
Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

I've got a stock boost mobile replenish. If your needing someone to test(or do something) on a boost phone, I'm willing.
 
Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

So let me get this straight, I have a boost mobile replenish with GB.EK03. I gather I have to wait till .3 comes out to install this rom?? Is anyone out there working on a simple (one click) Root?? Or is the Gingerbread so tight its unable to be rooted? (as of now)

Sorry Im pretty new to this.

Also with this ROM installed, will it help clear up memory space on these lower level boost phones. The last one I had, Samsung Prevail, I had to partition my sdcard to maximize my app memory. Should i do the same for this Replenish??

Thanks

If you update, it would be highly appreciated if I could get the dump of the update.zip file itself and a dump of the completed installation. I may have to release 0.3 without animations again. I've still not had any luck and haven't had a reply from anyone else in ACS. :(
