How to use:​
Simply flash the flashable zip through your favorite custom recovery. (TWRP is recommended as it supports encrypted devices). Once flashed you should enable Full Disk Encryption by doing the following (may very depending on device):
Code:
Settings --> Security ---> Password [enter a strong 8-16 char password]
Than
Code:
Settings --> Security ---> Encryption --> Enable Encryption
Downloads:​Downloads are over here.
Please verify the downloaded file with the attached GPG signature to ensure is is a legit copy.
GAPPS
Google Apps are NOT included and before you flash them you may want to read this article.
UPDATES:
Since this is a preview I have not had a chance to remove or modify the CM Updater. Please do NOT use it as you will be flashing a stock CM10.1 build and not Guardian Rom. This will be fixed shortly.​

always been curious about this rom, so I may give this a whirl! thanks for the hard work!

Any reviews?

Since these NSA Android stories are rolling out there might be more traffic coming this way.
SAMSUNG S4

Will this be available for an unbranded international S2, GT-I9100 ?
I am currently trying out CM10.1 and installed most of the included apps manually, but there is a problem with encryption and updating the nightlies and CWM, so I'd like to try out Guardian Rom.

Those stories are FUD. Don't believe them. The only code the NSA put in android is SeLinux which hardens android. It's opensource and has been in linux for years.

Not for now. Nexus device get primary support as they have an AOSP Source tree.

A very worthwhile effort. I wish I would own one of the supported devices to see how it goes.
I hope that more developers will start to put liberty and privacy into Android.
Keep up the good work.

More is coming soon. Guardian Rom is going to be on more device soon, We have a working once-click installer for all supported devices at this point, easy setup for Full Disk Encryption and Deniable Encryption, Policy Management and more. We are about to launch for a round of funding so stay tuned. Things are going to get exciting.

Dead?
Is this project dead? There is not much information on their site and its out of date.

I cant seem to find a download link for jflte

To be honest, I hope these guys are okay. Privacy rights are important and these guys are also helping protect whistle blowers. Given that, I hope they haven't been whisked away to a black site. Yeah, that's a paranoid statement but not outside the realm of possibility.

Looked into this project earlier. You can't find a dl link for jflte because it's only currently got beta release for the nexus line. The guy has a page on Kickstarter trying to raise 35 thousand dollars to support development. He promises to make a stable build and support more devices only if his 35k support fund is together by april 30th. Don't think it's gonna happen bc he's only at 1500.

30/Jun r1 (JFB) - MoDaCo Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy S with Online Kitchen

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know. wink.gif
This ROM is the 'starting point' for my Galaxy S custom ROMs.
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM on your device, YOU MUST ALREADY BE RUNNING THE JFB ROM FROM HERE. Do NOT use this ROM with any other base, unpredictable things will happen, the most likely being you'll have to reflash your device via Odin.
Features Included
* Based on the JFB release
* Rooted with Superuser 2.1 by ChainsDD
* Built with the MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM
* busybox with Droid Explorer support
* Updated Google Maps
* MCR version displayed in 'About' screen
* Optional Google Voice Search
* Optional Google Voice Dialer
* Optional Fancy Widget
* Optional Beebplayer
* Optional baked in Wavesecure via the online kitchen (installed to system partition for maximum security)
Changelog
Please see 2 posts below this one for the changes in each release.
Installation
To install this ROM:
* Ensure you have the JFB ROM installed (linked above)
* Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card named 'update.zip'
* Restart your device in recovery mode by running 'adb reboot recovery' (download adb if you do not have it already, use adb-windows, adb-mac or adb-linux as appropriate)
* Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card
Upgrading
No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.
Downloads
This ROM is currently only available in the online kitchen - prebakes to follow.
Thanks
It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.
And finally...
If you would like to show your appreciation for the ROM, please consider supporting MoDaCo by signing up for a MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus account, both of which also give you early access to Beta ROM releases and access to the the online kitchens.
Enjoy!

Does this ROM fix the ram issue so that all 512MB of ram is utilized?
Congrats on being the first custom rom here.
Congratulations! I don't have a phone yet but I am very pleased to see a custom rom already!
woohoo custom ROMs already. Guess I'll be getting myself the phone after all.
umm.. but in another thread people where saying that it wasn't gonna be possible because samsung encrypt their drivers etc. so this mean they did release they drivers? and there is gonna be alot of custom rooms for galaxy gravity?

No I said it would be near impossible to get roms from other sources like Sense roms or Froyo on because of the driver issue. I never said you would never see custom roms. The only roms you are going to see are one's based off of Samsungs release.
Hold on, hold on. So even though Samsung released the Galaxy S' driver source code to the public, it's going to be "near impossible" to port Sense and FroYo to the phone? I may be ignorant but I'll just ask with ignorance, how do you figure?

Download the source code..... ok now open it and go to GalaxyS_Kernel.tar.gz. Now in there just enter the first folder then go to modules. Go to Dpram. Open up any of those files in notepad. You should see written non-compiled code right? That is fine now go back to the module folders and go to S3cbc. Now open up s3cbc_module.o. Does that look like non-compiled code? No it doesn't. It's either already compiled or encrypted. That's what I mean

Quick question, does that mean any custom rom that is release will be based off the official rom they release which has Touchwiz backed in? If so, does that rule out a plain vanilla android rom for this device? Thanks for your help and appreciate the knowledge.

No it doesn't rule out plain vanilla android rom. Yes they will all be based on Samsung but rom makers can take out all the touchwiz garbage and throw in another launcher like adw or Launcherpro.
That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the help. Now if I only could decide if I should keep the Nexus One or purchase this phone..... Decisions, Decisions.

what are talking about .o files and unix compiled modules same on all versions of unix. o stands for object module.

So they can easily be decompiled? If it's source code why is it already compiled?
dont go too deep into specific things that we may not even need (we are not coders here) but the source code for basic hardware that we need to get things going are already there.. things like camera, wlan, etc. btw, do u know what s3cbc is for?

What about s3clcd? Here is a little copy and paste of some of the garble that was in the compiled file
screen width=%d height=%d va=0x%x pa=0x%x
I would go out on a limb and say those are video drivers. The one's that have been encrypted on all other samsung phones.
Also in s3cbc there is some code at the bottom
PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_YUY2 PVRSRV_ERROR_FIFO_SPACE char ui32ByteStride psDevInfo PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_PAL1 PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_PAL2 pfnOpenBCDevic
If you don't know the Galaxy's gpu is PowerVR SGX540 and YUY2 is a colol format for video screens
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#YUY2 and Pal is of course a European video standard.
they are not encrypted, they are object codes in machine language for arm.. and why we need that again for custom roms?
Wanted to test modaco ROM but they are not free.. Any kind souls upload and share ?
well feedback on the R1 rom its clean and smooth, worked even better when i did the stall tweak posted here

How much free ram have you got? Considering flashing and rooting, but not sure if it's worth it right now. Meh 10£ isn't that much think I'm gonna give it a try.
EDIT: Just flashed, but now I don't have root access(says access denied when I try to access the /data/data folder). Thought this included the rooted PDA file or do I have to flash that again with odin?
EDIT2: Scratch that I forgot to press the allow-button on my phone after sending the Super-user request..

I'll be keeping an eye on it. Good work.
While this looks like a very interesting project and could have very promising applications (particularly in the military/government sector), most users on this site will undoubtedly complain about the horrendously slow speeds this many layers of encryption will bring.
Best of luck to you, though.

[Rom][6.0.0/5.1.1(Not Sure)][DM][OMNIROM Build Modified][BigPart][Alpha]

Hi And Welcome To a Non-Tested Version of Android 6.0.0 on the xoom (Maybe 5.1.1 Not Sure) But back to the topic
This is mostly 5.1.1 but maybe with new of fixed features (I've never tested it as I said)
Here is how to install (I found this on another area)
1. ROOT YOUR DEVICE
2. Install BigPart TWRP
3. Wipe your system and flash the zip file
Here is the zip file
(I'm having Issues of Attaching The File So Please Wait)

so is this rom 5.1.1 or 6.0? id love to try it out...
I just resurrected my old xoom and converted it to bigpart.
waiting for the zip....
Waiting for test it.
Did you build this rom? If so, how can you not know what version of Android it is?

Just "copy n paste" from "other area" is not very trustworthy... i'm sorry to say.
I would love to have 6.0 on Xoom, but I want it to be wit ha Git Repo or anything and not only an ominous zip file from somewhere...
so please, more information is the key!

Based on this post, I think that, best-case scenario, he just kanged Schischu's 5.1.1 build and maybe themed it to look like 6.0. But I'm betting we never see a zip file.
As with everyone else I am curious to this. [6.0.0/5.1.1(Not Sure)] <--- this seems a little strange. It can only be one Android version. If it's 5.1.1 with some cherry picks and tweaks, that's great but just say.
Also some source would be good so we can establish what it actually is. Upload to androidfilehost or something similar if you can't attach.

gapps and super su are not included so please download them
If the OP did not do some coding on our outdated kernel and just synced omnirom sources, or even worse, just replaced some apk's in the flashable zip, all bugs are still there. If you did alter the kernel code you have to apply to GPL and post kernel sources.
I don't mean any disrespect but I kinda have the feeling that you don't have alot of experience with coding. (Please correct me if I'm wrong though) Posting untested software can give inexperienced users alot of problems and could be potential dangerous with our altered partion layout.
This wont have any benefit over Schisu's rom for now so I really have to advise you to wait for updated kernel sources before posting.

Like I said, I don't mean any disrespect my friend. The Xoom needs talented developers but not knowing if your rom is android 6 or 5 raises questions
You should contact the old member of team EOS or Schischu.

[ROM][SUBSTRATUM][N9] Krexus 7.1.1 [OFFICIAL] [03.09.2017]

krexus_7.1.1-170309-flounder.zip - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=144667 March security updates & Rootless Substratum
THINGS TO READ BEFORE ASKING:
Use N4F26T Vendor Image for 03/09.2017 build.
Stock kernel does not force encryption.
Not prerooted.
Built for the Nexus 9 Wifi (but it works on Nexus 9 LTE too. Flash latest volantisg vendor IMG and manually set APN)
Originally Posted by @KreAch3R
Krexus was born out of a simple necessity. The latest releases of stock Android (namely lollipop and marshmallow) were pretty close to my idea of a perfect android ROM, yet missing some elements, which are meant to be included in stock Android, at least for me. Starting from a clean AOSP environment, only specific features and fixes are included, which are personally tested ON HAMMERHEAD, with one goal in mind. To create a stock like android ROM, "as it should be".
This means, and I mean it, a ROM like how stock nexus image should be, for me.
This isn't going to get bloated. Most UI "features" are already there.
This isn't going to start picking commits relentlessly, I will test them personally and only add things that 1) work like they should 2) would fit in a stock ROM.
This isn't going to be updated very quickly. Only security and bug fixes will be pushed out ASAP.
This is going to follow Google's & AOSP guidelines as closely as I can.
And lastly, this is first and foremost a ROM about Nexus 5 (hammerhead). This is my personal device, this is where I test the ROM. angler, bullhead, flo, mako, shamu builds are provided AS-IS, and bugs/missing stuff/features especially for them will be put on the lowest priority and will depend on my free time. I will only guarantee the nexus 5 ROM and its abilities.
That said, welcome aboard!

CHANGELOG
Source Code: https://github.com/krexus
When @KreAch3R started building this ROM for shamu in 2015, I jumped on board right away. I've got Krexus running on every Nexus in my family: mako, hammerhead, shamu, grouper, and NOW flounder.
It runs beautifully on flounder and I hope you enjoy it too.
I am extremely grateful to @KreAch3R for all of his help and support.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
You have to flash GApps (Open or BaNks recommended)
ROM is not rooted, flash stable SuperSu for root
Busybox is included
Included kernel is stock no-force-encrypt
Flash newest factory vendor.img (I had Layers issues with stock selinux enforcing kernel on an older vendor version. Newest vendor.img works perfectly with stock kernel enforcing and layers)

BELIEVE ME, THE QUESTION YOU HAVE IS PROBABLY ANSWERED THERE.
Thank you for supporting the building for flounder, @buffal0b1ll!
For the next build, I will try to make Layers work with the default google kernel, and fix the processor info.
I want to specifically thank @BeansTown106, which device trees and blobs I used for this bringup.
Enjoy Krexus!

Firsties!

Layers actually works fine with the default kernel and SELinux enforcing. An up to date vendor.img flash was all I needed to fix that.

I'm still using fire-ice 10.2.2 and haven't noticed slow charging. In 18 minutes I went from 27 to 35% just now. Ampere has me charging at 1460 mAh
Thanks for a great rom! Will it work with LTE version?

I'm glad you like it! I don't know, as I don't have either device. Are the ROMs interchangeable on these two variants? For reference, the device tree is highly based on PureNexus' excellent tree (both based on AOSP with very few commits). The kernel is the default google kernel for flounder.

Got it. FYI I'd been manually vendor fixing the fingerprint since December on the Wi-Fi flounder and had layers issues on the stock enforcing kernel. Fire ice made it work with the old hacked vendor partition. To make layers work with stock kernel i updated to may factory vendor.img

[HomeBrews] Pixel 2: LineageOS/CarbonROM/DirtyUnicorns

Dirty Unicorns is a project that started out with no name. It was a project that was first based off AOKP back in the early days of Jelly Bean. In the early days it was just a one man show on one device, the EVO 3D. Since then, many others have joined the project and it has grown exponentially.
We have seen a lot of talent contribute to this project of ours. Big or small, the focus was always on contributing to the community. That is ultimately why we do what we do. After Jelly Bean, we decided to move to a new base, OmniROM. While AOKP was fun, OmniROM proved to be even more exciting base because it challenged us to see what we could do with a project that had different goals in mind. We learned a lot and again, gain contributors. With Lollipop, we moved to an AOSP base with a lot of patches from CAF to make our older devices function as they should. We grew even more and learned a whole lot more.

CarbonROM is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-Disclaimer:
THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL BUILD. The intent is to showcase what is coming up soon. I have been working hard on getting Walleye on a level I consider DD ready, especially from a security side of things.
Please keep any problems with those builds in this thread, I don't accept any bug reports for any other builds other than my HomeBrews.
Disclaimer:
While I make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device. I ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash or post that you broke your phone!
Support:
I spend an astonishing amount of time developing this device. I can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Ask a question in this forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.
Notice:
This build includes GApps for now. We're still working on ways to not prebundle it.
Before you flash, make sure you're on the latest 8.1 stock builds (and bootloader), then flash the ROM in TWRP.
Instructions :
Boot to TWRP
Format Data (If you didn't type YES, you did it wrong!)
adb sideload homebrews.zip
reboot system
(to gain root you must first boot homebrewsROM. Then reboot and to TWRP and install Magisk 1 6.0)
See below
Reporting Bugs:
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved.
What is your--
Build Date:
Did you--
wipe:
all data?
install gapps when you weren't suppose to?
Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed:
WARNING: These are my personal testing builds. They include unmerged, work-in-progress stuff such as SuperUser, Privacy Guard, Google Play services etc. DO NOT FLASH 3RD PARTY GAPPS PACKAGES!
If you see a warning about vendor partition mismatch, you can ignore that in most cases, but before reporting issues you should be on the right version (without the warning).

Don't devices that are not officially supported need someone to start the process and possible become a maintainer? I could be mistaken. I myself think moonshine is pretty cool and would love to know how to make it.
Holy crap do my lying eyes deceive me or is there a rom for the Pixel 2 LOL,,,thanks brother for letting me know about this. Now who is going to be the guinea pig and flash it LOL

boot to twrp.

After first boot then you can flash Magisk for root.
right now i am getting FC on Camera APP, X Google, Ok Google, and T Google something. My computer just crashed building the potential fix.

Sorry, i got super anxious myself when i finally got playstore, phone, and text messaging working.
Thus the piss poor thread that i copy and pasted from taimen's lineage.

I heard they are working on taimen first then our phone. For the most part it is all their that it seems. ****ty part is they cannot make it official until they find out why you cannot flash gapps.
So the work around is make it unofficial and build gapps inside.

I was the same way. A **** ton of reading and a lot of PMing. It is pretty simple when you get the hang of it. This early in the game you get to see the codes that attract you to certain roms or kernels.
Right now i just need to make sure it is stable before i work on the kernel or choose what rom i am gonna stick with.

That's what i heard. If i knew that last weekend we would have had that much sooner.
Awesome, glad to see some work
Sideloading it worked. Totally clean install- formatted data (as in typed "yes") and pushed the files like described.
*Wouldn't pick up my 5ghz wireless network during setup, but connected once I was in the os.
LTE seems fine, the screenshot is par for what I get around here. Still setting up and testing, but looking good so far!
Thanks @Ryche666
