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

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

That left me pretty much clueless, which is why I asked for you to pull /tmp/recovery.log. Do you know how to use adb on your computer?

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

still learning.. thought i could get it from the linux sdk but no luck.. ill get on that now..

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

adb isnt seeing my cell... would it be possible to just flash it in ODIN? Or another ROM just to get my phone up? I put it in download mode and ODIN see it.. I am not sure if i can pull a log from it.

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

Boy do i feel like a Noob! simple problem/mistake on my part.. but fixed and running PhoeniX 0.2!!

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

Sorry to be late in helping, I'm not currently home. Glad it's working, and I'm taking my time in making sure 0.3 is as streamlined and easy as possible to install. It's nearing completion too

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

Ah its cool.. i was a little worried because i didnt understand what i was doing wrong.. But i will just explain in here for any future noobz like me who might make this simple mistake.

In the directions that you have on the first page i followed to a T.. But my mistake was.. I copied the full zip as is with ODIN included.. I ended up looking at the leaf ROM just for a comparison.. To see if i could zip it and install and then it hit me.. I was suppose to take the other Phoeni zip file Inside.. after opening it. I just deleted the full zip and replaced it.. And bingo.. No problems and it breezed through after that.. And now im back on linux..

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

I guess I could have done a better job with naming, I didn't think it would cause that much confusion.

 

[jay504702]

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

Meh looking back it was a rookie mistake on my part.. honestly I don't think there is anything you could have done to make it any easier.. Knowing a little more now helps.. Plus more reading is needed by me. Id get you a beer but i think your still underage?? lol Thanks for everything though..

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

Yup, just turning 20 in a few days I don't need donations or anything, I'm just a kid with no bills aside from web hosting. I may start selling apps though for small spending money, finding a job isn't going well It's awesome enough to me that people appreciate the work and possibly get my name spread around

 

[jay504702]

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

Hey man.. 20 is cool.. i remember those days -__- and Im sure with your talents your name will get out there.. I don't know any people personally with my phone but when you come out with some apps im sure i could spread the word around.. I guess ill fully read up before trying that custom kernel.. and i guess i have to add all the stuff i backed up.

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

The only people I know with my phone are family with no interest in hacking, it gets hard to find testers. Lol

I'm not worried about money or getting my name out there, I do it for fun and because I want better life/performance out of a device I actually own. I'd love to get my hands on other android devices to get learning more about it. It helps to have a widely used and hacked phone when just starting out

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

The custom kernel should be as easy to install as running firehak's update.zip from the sdcard. I used his update file s an example. It only takes about 5 seconds to install and then a reboot and you are good to go. And as always, back up before you change your phone. Of course you can save yourself the time and wait for phoenix 0.3 which is due out soon. That will also get you the modified kernel.

 

[jay504702]

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

I think i will wait then.. That gives me time to see what i can learn in the mean time.. Right now I guess i am just interested in things like the wifi tether.. Is there like a best apps section for replenish users?? As of now I still don't know where i should be going for apps or what my phone can and cant do.. Just found out street fighter II wont work on here lol.. What are some of you guys fav apps and where can i get them??

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

It's not a particularly powerful device. Small armv6 600mhz processor I believe, so you won't have much luck with any games that are 3d or large/complex 2d games. It's hard to play many with such a small screen anyway. It may not be the most powerful phone, but it still gets things done. I pretty much just use it as a phone and hated the poor battery life and sluggish performance enough to quit being a lazy developer and learn

After 0.3 I want to look into compiling android from source rather than using samsungs build and try customizing more now that performance and battery are going well. After a using it for the majority of the day on browser/wifi, texting, playing with apps for testing stability on the new release, I've only lost 50% battery. We may get around 2 full days off the plug with average to moderate usage now thanks to Dmrlook.

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

lol well i had to try SF2.. but I dont see me doing too much out of what i am use to.. I mainly wanted the wifi because I am stuck with DSL for a few more months.. I have unlimited data.. so when i do get a tablet.. but i guess its pizza and booze time.. Had to stay sober to get my cell back working.. and now that is done.. I can get back on my spanish.. lol ill be sure to read and ask questions.. Thanks once again..

FirehaK and the Android Creative Syndicate
are proud to present to you:

PhoeniX ROM 0.2

Click to view quoted image
Click to view quoted image
Click to view quoted image


​

Features:

• Ext4 file system (better performance)
• Build.prop tweaks
• Some /system bloat removed
• Custom boot animations should be working
• Disabled boot animations by default (unless /system/media/bootanimation.zip exists)
• CWM 5 recovery installed
• Custom(ish) kernel. (Flashing a new boot.img will stop PhoeniX from booting.)
• Reboot-able

Due to Sprint "disabling" CarrierIQ, the app to disable it on the phone is no longer included. The services still run, but Sprint DOES NOT collect information anymore.

This version is NOT de-odexed. Due to the issues we had before, I have not yet worked it out. Theming comes second to me over performance.

As always, this is not official software and I make no guarantees! I will however help you the best I can provided you follow instructions and clearly post your problem(s).

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Download/extract PhoeniX-ROM.zip from the below links
• Copy PhoeniX.zip to your sd card
• Reboot your phone to "download" mode (adb.exe reboot download or hold space + p during boot)
• Open the included odin
• Select "One Package" if not already checked in the options area
• Click the ops button to search for the included "SPHM580.ops"
• Now click the One Package button to search for "PhoeniX.tar"
• Click start, and hold U on your phone as soon as it reboots to enter recovery mode (CWM5)
• Once CWM5 starts, click install from sdcard
• Choose zip from sdcard
• Navigate to "PhoeniX.zip"
• Obviously choose yes to install
• Sit back and watch the magic, reboot when it finishes.

Credits:
Shabbypenguin - for multiple performance tweaks, CWM5, and putting up with me ;P
dmrlook - help with brainstorming, CWM5, and being awesome

PhoeniX wouldn't exist without their help, so make sure to give them their thanks!

Update: There is a typo when using the "remount" command. It says that it is remounting /dev/stl9 rather than /dev/stl12, but this does not affect it, the command still works. There is a remount script in /sbin/remount and /system/xbin/remount, and I forgot to remove it from sbin. Both scripts do work.

I know I am new here, but I am usually over there at XDA. Here is a WORKING DEODEXED PhoenixRom that I just made about an hour ago. I got to playing around with FireHak's build. I didn't change NOTHING, but deodex. I noticed the boot animations didn't work so I added bootanimation.zip functionality and it still doesn't work. At least on my wife's phone who I tested this on. I downloaded Anim Mod from the market to change the windows animations and transitions. It also modifies the system framework, so I tested it on her Replenish and EVERYTHING is running good so far. Now we have a deodexed ROM, let the customization begin.

I am not in anyway trying to take Firehak's glory. That is why I left everything the same.

Things we need to work on:

Custom Bootanimations
Disable the annoying System Update message
Fix recovery to fit our screens. (I noticed the Clockwork Recovery is oversized)
Customization

Flash like you would normally a ROM. I made it to where it WON'T wipe data, but I noticed it still does. PLEASE BACKUP FIRST! After I flashed this ROM I did an Avanced Restore through Clockwork and only restored DATA. Everything seems fine. Wipe Dalvik and Cache, just in case.

AS WITH ALL OTHER ROMS, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Please let me know if anyone has issues. Here

Now what we all been waiting for, here is the link to download:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64632729/phoenix0.3_deodexed.zip

Hope you all enjoy!

PS. Thanks Firehak for all your hard work

EDIT: Since the bootanimation wouldn't work on my wife's phone, it looked like the phone shutoff after booting. Let it sit, it will boot up, just no bootanimation.

i should get that just to get rid of that damn system update notification! So just to be clear.. because i am still new to everything.. back up everything in CWM.. then just install this from sd card.. and if anything i can revert to how it was before with CWM? If for some reason..

Yes, thanks for trying the ROM. Please report back. But the thing is the 'system update' message is still there. That is one of the things we have to work on. I will get on it as soon as I get some feedback from you all.

 

[jay504702]

Re: [ACS][ROM] PhoeniX ROM 0.2

No problem... I dont have many problems trying stuff out as long as i can revert back.. I have much to learn still but everyone seems helpful and knowledgeable..

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
