As normal, it's not my fault if you fubar your tab by flashing this or if zombies come and speedhump your cat. You've been warned.
Note: I'm getting this post together before I jump on a plane, so if it's not 100% complete, I appologize in advance and I'll fix it tomorrow. I just want to share this with you sooner rather than later.
Preamble
I am not going to teach you how to use, or set up the applications that you need to use/flash this. I have included links to everything you need to know, just click and read for a second. If you are not willing to put out a little bit of effort to better your experience with your Tab, I am not going to waste even more of my time that could be dedicated towards making my ROM better. Also, if you aren't willing to give yourself the fundamental knowledge required for flashing this and something goes wrong, you will then have the required skill to fix it, instead of blaming me for bricking your Tab. I don't need that. I am willing to support my ROM and help with some confusion, but if you want me to do everything for you- lo siento.
About This ROM
This is AOSP, actual AOSP, not a zip ROM with TW pulled out like my Ultraclean. Some people want TW, some don't. Variety is the spice of life. I ported jt's build of it which you can find HERE
Features
ACTUAL AOSP
ultralight, fast and better than TW
VTL Launcher (tablet optimized launcher)
NO TOUCHWIZ!
Honeycomb theme by Benbowden (huge thanks!)
More! (Really, there is more, but I can't think of it right now, I'll edit this post as I remember)
Changelog
0418 - System update - Highly recommended update
Removed ADWLauncher2 and added VTL Launcher
Fixed Headphone jack- It now works.
Reverted Screen density to 240
New feature- swipe from left to right on a notification to dismiss it (From CyanogenMod)
New feature- long press back button to kill active process (From CyanogenMod)
Removed Sype from build. I'm against their stupid device locking even though their shipped on just about ever device these days. Not dealing with them anymore.
Changed 'phone' to 'Tab' whereever it appears in the system (shutdown options, etc.). I am pretty sure I missed some spots, but I'll get them all eventually.
Changed the default wallpaper
I think that's it. I'll update if there's more. Also, I'll try to get a kernel out today, but last day of vactation and all. All and all this is a good speed and stability improvement from the initial release. Enjoy!
(Next up is brightness and some good GUI changes)
0409 Kernel update - Highly recommended update
Based on EC02 kernel source
Added Powersave, Userspace and Ondemand CPU Governors
All patches and modifications from before have been added to the EC02 kernel source
Fixed a conflict with TinyRCU (a goof up I didn't notice I made with the DJ11 source, this helps an immense amount with stability)
Tweaked the touchscreen voltage to help with battery life
Added ext4 patches from the 2.6.32.11 kernel (found here http://kan.gd/8hp), thanks to imnuts for pointing them out.
Overall this kernel is much smother and stable from the last 12 hours of my testing. Take it for a spin and let me know what you think.
v1 - Initial Release
I am keeping the name of JT"s ROM and version number for this build as I have only done a bit of customizing on it so far. I've got lots of plans for big changes to it this week, but for now, I pay my tribute to jt. Just porting it over took ages, so I want to share with everyone so they can get an idea of how this device can function without TW. It's fast!
Known Issues
Most things that work on JT's ROM, work on this build, a few things don't (eg. compass)
Everything that doesn't work on JT's ROM, doesn't work on this ROM (eg. bluetooth)
I'll get more specific when I update this post tomorrow
Overlay needs some work, but it'll make you lol in the meantime (just look at the notification dropdown and rotary lock and you'll see what I mean)
Plans
I have tons of plans, of course, getting full functionality back is a main priority. My final Goal with this ROM however is to show how the 7" platform is truly the best for tablets, and to make a ROM that is fully optimized for the perfect platform.
Installation
YOU MUST HAVE CWM INSTALLED TO FLASH THIS
You will need to factory reset, so back everything up
Download the ROM and kernel and put them on your sdcard (links below)
Boot into recovery (volume up + power button)
Flash ROM
Flash kernel
Flash GAPPS
Factory Reset
Reboot
Restore your user apps and system data, optional. Note: DO NOT RESTORE BACKED UP SYSTEM APPS
Thanks
jt1134, Adrynalyne, rotohammer, TCMAN, benbowden, punk.kaos, supercurio, boombuler and everyone in IRC as usual is great help. Also, a huge thanks to poitee for giving me access to his build box, without that this would have easily taken me an extra week to finish and my computer is on it's way out, so it may have just died without his help. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Odd, I can't flash the ROM for some reason. Even went back to stock and put cwm back on with no luck. Keep getting an error that the signature is invalid. I tried to turn off signature validation and it still didn't work

Aaaaaah......no problems Zombies literally just broke down my door and speedhumped my cat. It was terrifying.
On a serious note though, what's up with the notifications in the pull down being so small? And my rotary lockscreen is missing half the rotary? Anyone else?
VZW tab btw

KERNEL
Some things that I contributed directly to this kernel were suggestions about voltages, tips on recovery, showed changed the bootclass path (to make it an ICS kernel. From original ics boot spilt thread, but modded to build from source, as ours doesn't split) some other small things, alot of random work(as it is based off BOCA kernel - we used to share sources) and I ported/patched the following: SIO, VR NOOP, INTERACTIVEX, SAVEDZEN, GREASEDLIGHTNING, DARKSIDE, ONDEMANDX, SCARY, SMARTASSV2, SUPERBAD. Maybe a bit more, but nothing else comes to mind, directly.
Therefore I feel that I have contributed enough to include this kernel in my release.
If you notice, I didnt "spiff" the recovery up to its usual vibrant self this time.
Maybe next time, if users liked it in BOCA RC1.
ROM
This creation was ported and built by me.
I did get various ideas and configurations from developers around the web. And shared oh-so-many ideas also.
PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE BOCA IN WHOLE OR PART. NOR RE-UPLOAD
TREBUCHET
This version of the launcher uses hardware accel.
In can also upload a version that uses cpu /software accel.
Let me know.
Feel free to distribute the link (when uploaded) Its cyanogens product, but VERY heavily modded by me. Others on different devices (if it'll install) may appreciate it. Just kindly give me credit.

NOTES
**FIRSTLY before posting, READ THE THREAD
**Replies requesting help, or reporting UNREPORTED bugs must include the following information:
Carrier
Country
Original device branding (sgh-t849, P1000L ect)
ROM you came from
BE HONEST in the steps you took to get here
If possible, include a link to patsebin, where you have uploaded your LOGCAT of the error
The more info the better
-IF YOU CAN NOT DO THESE SIMPLE THINGS, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM-
As a user, you are very important to me, as is my quality of work and enjoyment of such work.
But if you cant be bothered to offer up some very simple info, Then I can hardly be bothered to beg you for it, just to help you.
*The red boarder still persists, infequently
*THERE IS NO HARDWARE ACCEL!!
*NOT EVERYTHING WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a DEVELOPMENT site, not a polished product site. DONT COMPLAIN!! Be helpful instead!
*We (all sgt7 cm9 ports) use the wrong graphics driver and graphics resolution. (its all thats available) So some video may not react up to your standards.
*This is a WORK IN PROGRESS!!!!!
I am a ONE PERSON development team.
I do this all in my free time, for the pure joy of it. Dont kill my joy by being a "GIMMIE-GIMMIE" or a Complainer
I (and every single developer here) am nice enough to share our work with you, be gratefull.
Or build it yourself.
*Doing things like porting and building a source code (especially an unfinished VERY alpha one) IS VERY TIME CONSUMING.
Each new build takes two full days to compile. Ive learned how to wait.
Total time ive spent doing this, added up probely equals over 700,000 hours. Again, for the joy of it.
So be patient on updates, or mistakes. There is never, ever an ETA. Dont ask.
About the download link
Its 4shared ;(
My server went down last night.
After I complete repairs, All my work will be uploaded to it.
Hi diz, just to let you know the image at the top is not clickable, and can only be viewed when users are logged in. Also there is a version of the image with (CM9) added to it in the boca rc1 post, you might want to copy these to your hosting and link them from there.
Gonna give this rom a try NOW!! thanks again for all your hard work.

thanks for the headsup.
wierdly now it wont even show up while loged in.
but does when i go to edit post.
ill take a look at it.
Thanks again for the great artwork
hey diz, top work on releasing a new version of icedBOCA, looks like you put a lot of work into it
ive been kinda quiet for the last week (got a new computer from work which ive turned into a media centre and it was a pain to get the old clunker of a video card working in it)
i know what you meant in your other thread by the other one taking off the way it has, i was gonna try to manually add all their added stuff to your AOSEP version just to see how it went, but it wouldve taken forever just to get it to where they have, and keeping up with the updates would be hard (although i still want to do it just to learn more).
anyway, i thought id thank you yet again for your AOSEP idea and all behind it, even though i started fiddling before you had the idea, it pushed me to take it further.
with that, id thought id offer up one piece of information i learnt from another thread that fixes the red borders completely, on top of:
Code:
persist.sys.strictmode.visual=0
the other line that ive found that removes it completely is:
Code:
ro.build.type=user
so if the build type is set to user it seems to get rid of the red borders completely. hope this helps in some way and best of luck in the future.
just when i'm gonna download this ROM i found out that phone is broken, too bad >.<
gonna taste it when it fixed. great job diz!
Thank you mate! Like allways a great job!
Just experienced a small bug.
When rom installs I got allways a FC of a chineese aplication.
Thanks again, performance is very good.
Changing default keyboard and laguage to English in settings (Language & input) helped stop this for me. No need to freeze the launcher.

im in talks with the mod about it.
a thread restructuring may be comming soon.
As per moderator request i have supply a link that goes directly to rom.
op has been updated to comply.
thank you for your work -
I`ve flashed it on clean safe gb from overcome with overcome kernel
battey drain is significantly better in your rom, although its unstable.
sometimes its 9 mah per minite )radio off, screen off
sometimes its 120.
Killing apps in backgroung helps though
I`m using battery monitor widget for monitoring
all my video players seem to work better than in cm9 build
the browser is very slow to render and load, cm9 is way better
but 3g is more than 1.5 times faster
other glithches
the mentioned red border, scrolling stutters sometimes, application names in all application screen sometimes are not displayed fully, its get choped and the rest is shown at the side of the screen.
Dizgustipated, Thank you so much, for making it easier to download your Rom. More grease to your elbows.
After the rather...disappointing way I departed and the resulting issues, I'm setting some things straight here and now.
1. No ETAs. Period. I don't want to see when will I fix or add anything.
2. No complaining. There's a line between reporting an issue and complaining. This line is crossed when it's reported more then once.
3. Requesting additions is fine, within reason. Keep it within reason, I'm not a real dev.
4. Using this ROM...this is where a lot of issues have come up, generally speaking, you can use this ROM as a base if you choose, however ASK ME FIRST. That's it! Everything could have been avoided if people had simply asked me before using my ROM and slapping their names on it then putting it out there. Please include some credit to waydownsouth, gh123man, randomblame and myself. For 4.3 Jellytime, randomblame in particular.
5. Hosting/mirroring. Please don't host or mirror this elsewhere, I will supply hosts for this ROM, I don't need more, and I prefer to keep track of how many users of a given build I have. Hosting elsewhere interferes with this. The only exception I can see is for our Russian/Ukrainian user community, my hosts may be slow there, or in other parts of the world. If you wish to host for another country, please let me know.
6. READ. For the love of all that is holy and great, READ the OPs, read at least the page before where your post will be. I will not answer questions already answered. If I respond, it may not be the nicest way I could do so. Please, save me, yourself, and everyone else the time and /facepalming and at least attempt to find the answer on your own. This is not limited to only this ROM, but anything you may wish to post about in this thread. Questions about CWM or TWRP don't belong here, but if they are valid questions that have something to do with this ROM, go ahead, after reading up on it.
7. Remaining on topic....well this one is loose. I prefer it to stay related only to this ROM, however I know things stray, and generally I'm OK with this, just try to keep it at least related to android. Or at least something related to something to do with on this planet.

Hail *pio_masaki* .... you are the Man dude !!! :angel: Any amount of compliments I make is just insufficient to praise the amount of hard work and time you put behind this. :good::good::good::good: Just flashed v5-2 already and its "butter" smooth operation from then.. Wait till I show this to my friends...

Thanks, and welcome to our little corner of XDA! Hope your new tablet is as good as mine has been to me
But really guys, randomblame did the hard work on this. I just got it running on the A100.
Pio, I know the feeling on the time spent on these things and friction with the wife. Use lube, Red Wine is what I suggest, good for the heart.
Jk buddy, thanks for all your work and time. Family first. We understand.

Thanks for the understanding.
Also....new version with WiFi and some sound is up. Root seems to work to a point but I'll say its broken for now.

unbelievable, I am bewildered by this topic! fantastic!
Pio_masaki,I have been a silent observer of your threads for quite a while, and I have to say that I have never seen such a nice person as you. Maybe there're other developer in XDA that has a better skill than you (just maybe, haha, please don't be offended =p), but regarding personality and character, I think no one can match you. You really deserve the best person award. Thanks for all the work that you have done to the community =)

Thank you for the kind words, and no I'm not offended, there are certainly much better developers for sure, as I don't really consider myself a developer anyways. Most of this work has been done by randomblame and waydownsouth I just move it over for us on the A100, which isn't always easy I'll admit.
Version 7.8 is now available
Change log:
Root is now working as it should.
Open Super SU
Let it "install" binary (its already there)
Enjoy
External SD is now RW:
Fixed a permission issue in platform.xml to allow full read/write to external_sd.
Brightness control now works:
Auto brightness doesn't seem to work, manual brightness works. This was actually fixed in a previous release, and broke again, and is now working again.
Sound:
Sound works in some apps, but system sound is still broken, ie notifications, music, but some apps/games work, like angry birds now has audio.
Bluetooth:
Bluetooth has been proven fixed by a pairing, testing done by ntan97.
Still Broken:
Gallery/camera
Internal SD doesn't mount
Power LED is erratic, sometimes always on, sometimes always off
Home to wake: works when power led is ON, doesn't work while it is OFF
Video playback is still broken. Tested on stock player, dice player, mp4 and avi.
I'll be redoing the posts to be a little less confusing by moving things to change logs like this.
Wow man. I'm surprised on how much progress you're making on this. It's quite a feat. You can say all you want about how you're just compiling what others have made to the A100, but it takes a good person to continue a project for such a small community like this (even after you said you were going to slow down? I haven't seen you slow down at all) and it's still not just that simple.
You're probably one of the most helpful people here since crossix. Thanks for you're work :thumbup:
Hopefully when I receive a new PC in a couple weeks I could start making the first complete A100 theme for this ROM. To my knowledge there really hasn't been a whole lot of action in the themeing department here.

Yeah....I keep saying ill slow down.....then I get a new idea or theory and go back until I get it right lol
Theme wise stetsonaw has a complete theme that works for us, but of course more is always better, I'm partial to black and red myself.
And PC...yeah don't get me started on that. My fastest machine takes 3 hours to build. That's like 2 hours of prepping 3 hours to build just to test. Unless its something I can do after compiling. That's the version number, first is build second is changes within that build after its built. So current is build 7 change 8, so figure 3 hours per build, plus whatever time of work before the build, plus whatever hour so per change after... plus the builds I didn't even number lol.
All said and done I have at least 21 hours invested in builds. Probably another 15 in smaller revisions, plus the 9 hours getting the initial port worked out. Over...maybe 2 or 3 weeks. Plus the nightly cm9 builds. And a few hours for the scripts, few more for aoikaze, and more on kuroikaze which I'll likely never finish and release. Oh and the guides lol.
It adds up quick. This is just since May...I think closer to June when I started all of this.
Edit: Just realized I have over 99 hours in the nightly cm9 builds, not counting setting up for it and uploading time lol

I just flashed and have noticed one thing (I apologize if already stated just haven't seen)
But it looks like just a density issue. Fonts are just small at times. The stock launcher seems a little weird and when in landscape the notification bar is far on the left.
I tried my best to take a photo.
And just a question. Are their specific 4.1 gapps or are the ICS ones the same?

Yeah not a bug, that's the new 7" UI jellybean uses. Not sure why they killed the combined bar and chose a phone UI though. That's how the N7 will look too.
Oh edit there is a jb gapps but they're kinda broken, so flash them, ten icss gapps over it and itll work, that's how I do it. I'll add them into the OP sometime today, niece and nephew are staying with us for a few days so I'll be busy being the coolest uncle ever with all my modded consoles, devices and toys lol

Bit off topic... but woah, thanks man. Just donated 5€
First I would like to give credit to everyone who has worked on GBX0* in any way. ACL, arrrghhh, detule, and Stinger22 to name a few important faces around here. I do not take credit for 99% of this. It is a modded version of the GBX already published on XDA.
Stinger22 is responsible for building the killer new kernel. I packaged the kernel into a boot.img and collected all the compatible updates into a single installable Zip with lots of tweaks.Stinger22 deserves big thanks for his work here.
There will be limited support for this build. Feel free to ask questions, and even better if you can help answer them. If you know how to fix something that is broken I would love to hear from you. I would be happy to include anything that you can contribute.
Due to the number of people unhappy with the RHOD100s phones and this rom, we do not recommend it for the RHOD100s (not that we ever did as we only have RHOD400s to test with).
New install guide.
Now what you came for:
GBX*
Includes:
GBX 5-8-12 lib update.
Slightly smoother boot animation used.
Build.prop tweaks.
Added a couple of ringtone/media sounds.
Superuser replaced with SuperSU .97
Modded audio.conf file to allow for the streaming of media metadata from apps like Pandora when the advanced menu / car bluetooth mode is enabled in the app. Also this change should allow for more Bluetooth devices to connect to the phone. Does only appear to support AVRCP 1.0, so no metadata without extra app support. However track forward/back/pause will work with some setups.
Added circle battery icons with %s for more precise gauging. Shows in 5% blocks. What you see is +/-3% of what the battery is really reporting. Based off the themes here. It is better than a half filled bar IMHO. It might take a full discharge or two before the battery gague/acl code becomes accurate. The battery also tends to drop quickly in the first 10% and then levels off.
RHOD300 keyboard fix. Credit to Detule
Changed RHOD100 from default keyboard to RHOD100_UK keyboard map.
Fix to ramdisk to resolve error reported during boot.
Fix to bluetooth main.conf to prevent bluetooth media devices from crashing OS. *only included in the 3.4.26.1 and newer full build*
-Still have issues where connecting/disconnecting the sink device can sometimes cause the phone to reboot. Seems sink device dependent. Mostly fixed in 3.4.26.13
Fixed bluetooth typo bug to 3.4.26.1 in 3.4.26.11
Boot animation in 3.4.26.13 credit.
3.4.17 Kernel update:
Including ACL's newer battery code.
More accurate readings from battery gague.
Maybe slightly better sleep battery usage.
Small Bluetooth fix (I find paring to be easier).
Kernel panic fix that may help prevent phone lockup if apps crash.
Many other small patches.
Fixed USB detection issue in 3.4 kernels.
Overclocking still supported. (SetCPU is free to XDA members)
Added a hack supplied by detule to prevent the sd card reader from suspending to prevent unexpected sd card removal errors.
Added a kernel splash screen to cover up some of the rolling text during boot time. Credit.
Sleep works with wifi turned on. - Battery life should improve where wifi prevented sleep before. Wifi tethering will prevent wifi sleep.
Zoom slider bar now works. Acts like a two finger touch moving from the center of the screen. If you tap on the zoom bar it will be just like tapping in the middle of your screen. Something to keep in mind if you get unexpected touches while holding the bottom of your phone. More benefit than a draw back IMHO. Added permission files. Link at bottom for those who just need this (based off of mankineko's work).
3.4.24 Kernel *minor update*
Includes updates from source.
Added code to cause system to reboot rather than hang from a system crash.
3.4.26 Kernel
Reboot function in shutdown menu has been fixed (power off is still broken)
Host file is no longer over written on boot up. This had been preventing ad blocker apps from working correctly.
ACL's panel code has been used. Hopefully this will resolve some issues for the RHOD100 users. We have no way to test, so it is as-is.
Auto brightness has been fixed. You may need to press the power button and force the lcd off, after it has been enabled, before it will take effect.
Device name is no longer reported as 00000000 by ADB. It should show as the serial number.
3.4.35 Kernel
Slight performance tweaks.
Added CrossBreeder mod. Basically helps tethering internet.
Added "Smartassv2" cpu governor. Can be set using apps like SetCPU. Should be slightly better performance, but may come at the cost of battery life.
Added "row" scheduler.
3.4.41 Experimental Rhod400 Kernel.
Shutdown working
Fps limit fixed, plus a slight gpu performance boost (previously was benching about 19fps for both 2d/3d, now I'm getting up to 60fps 2d, 26fps 3d)
Enabled more compiler optimizations. Kernel is slightly larger, but seems to perform a bit better
USB: No need to plug/unplug once before adb works, faster cable connection detection
Other miscellaneous tweaks that may or may not help battery life
Known bugs:
Many of these bugs are found in the 3.X kernels, and so they may be found here too.
MMS does not work out of the box. Add this APN info if you want it.
Google maps newer than 5.9 shows graphic distortions with street names, and other graphic issues sometimes. Waze is a good gps alternative if you want something with more features.
Shutdown and reboot options on the power button menu do not work.
Auto backlight does not work.
8-15-12 RIL update breaks radio (on CDMA for sure/no reports from GSM owners).
SD card unexpected removal errors when the phone wakes from sleep on *some* phones. -try a non SDHC sd card if all other standard troubleshooting fails. I have been able to use a 512mb and 1gb card micro sd card without issue. However all my 4,8,16, and 32gb micro SDHC cards have this issue. Hacked work around as of update 3.4.17.
May have to remove and reinsert USB cable a few times before the phone will recognize it has been plugged into a data port. Also you may need to turn features on/off to get the correct tethering/usb storage/usb debug to work correctly.
No front facing camera support for RHOD100.
Deleting bluetooth.apk may be necessary to get the phone to connect to some Bluetooth devices that have any advanced features.
If Bluetooth is left on and the phone is rebooted/crashes, the unit may bootloop. I have not found a fix other than reloading the Rom from recovery.
This bug seems to effect A2DP and other audio streaming devices the most v.s a bluetooth mono ear piece for calling with. This is a bug I have been able to repro on the GBX*+ 3.3.6 kernel as well. Make backups before using Bluetooth. If you are a CDMA user, you could try the original Ril from inside the GBX+3.x rom. It seemed to cause the reboot loop a little less. However GSM users must have the 5-8 Ril to use this Rom.
Found that this bug seems to be for devices that support multiple profiles. I have a Bluetooth receiver that will use phone and media profiles. If the phone profile is disabled the lock-ups do not happen. This work around will not let you use the phone features, but you can stream media. You need to pair the device. Then long touch it to get a to an options menu. Uncheck the phone profile option to stop the crashes when playing any media.
Sometimes if the phone locks up during the boot animation from this issue, then you reboot once or twice, and leave it alone for a long long time it will sometimes finally finish booting. It is worth a couple of reboots, and a lot of waiting vs reloading the rom. It also seems to help if you plug the phone into the usb on a computer after the boot process has passed the blue screen.
Pandora's internal/advanced bluetooth settings must be turned off, otherwise it may crash the phone on device disconnect.
Bluetooth is not 100% stable, and may crash the phone on connecting or disconnecting devices. During use it is stable.
If the phone crashes while bluetooth is turned on it may boot loop. If this happens connect the phone's usb port to a charger or usb port on a computer. This should cause it to boot correctly on the next time around.
Sprint phones must be activated on the Sprint network in WM before loading Android. Android can not activate everything correctly.
It has been reported that the keymap for the RHOD300 is not correct.
Not an Android bug, but Sprint DNS services are crap. I found good working links not working correctly due to bad dns info. Of course you can use any public dns server you like.
A suggestion for getting your own dns in more easily is this App.
If you tether on Sprint I suggest that you put your own DNS server in under the TCP/IP settings on client device as it will only use sprint's by default. I leaned this the hard way.
RHOD100 WIFI may not reconnect to access point automatically upon waking from sleep. Disable and reconnect to work around.
This Rom was only tested on the Sprint TP2 RHOD400. It will probably work on any that worked with the GBX0* + 3.3.x kernel, but we can't promise it.

New install guide.
Old install directions for all other NAND roms.
It is assumed that you have unlocked your phone. If not read here and/or here, and/or here.
If you are running the 8-15 ril that was patched, and you are unable to get a cell signal, I would highly suggest that you install the older patch ril file.
If you want to add just the permission files for the zoom bar (and a few other things) rather than downloading the whole thing again here they are. When I did this it broke Zeam. I had to add another launcher, and then switch between the two. That fixed it for me.
As always BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP before doing anything. Please use at your own risk.
*Related goodies*
Gapps package.
For those of you who want an ICS facelift, check out the modded Zeam launcher.
Most recent recovery thread. - this recovery creates a md5 error on a backup's restore. Anyone know how to fix it?
ACL's known good recovery.
Good chance you will need to calibrate your touch screen. This thread covers that,and how to make it stick.
I may have found a launcher that is more lightweight than Zeam from what I can tell. I am running Lighting Launcher, and am quite happy. Seems to have an even smaller memory footprint, which is great for phones without much memory.
Swapper2 app. This is an interesting thing I found the other day. It allows you to use your SD card for swap (Virtual ram). I did verify that a 64mb swap file (did not test swap partition) can work on our phones. I would love to hear some feedback from people who might be interested in playing with it. I would suggest a Micro sd card with a high random read/write speed. Here is a guide that is already made if you want to use a swap partition rather than a swap file. It will probably wear out your sd card faster, but sd cards are cheap these days. Also note that SD storage vie USB may not work if you use this mod.
Update.
I got out my 32gb high random speed sd card today, and I whipped up a swap partition according to the guide above. I bumped the swappyness setting to 100. I was in a generous mood, so I lopped off 1gb of space for swap (256mg would have probably been a better choice). I did get a name error when I enabled it, but it seemed to work just fine. The swap space of 1gb showed up by the free command, and the swap space showed use after I ran a few apps. It is a subjective observation, but I think multitasking is a little smoother. I plan on leaving it setup like this for now.

I did manage to max out the cpu, and crash the system resulting in a reboot. I was running two gps apps, and two music apps, and two or three other apps all at the same time (abit poorly though). It might not have liked having multiple apps access the same resources.
Here is a handy app for rebooting the phone quickly, and entering into recovery.
Possible way to disable the proxmity sensor for people who have bad ones causing a non-waking screen here. Credit.
*Bonus for Sprint RHOD400 TP2 users*
If you are tired of the white HTC splash screen here are two nbh files you can flash just like a rom from the SD card. They should only touch the splash screen. Everything else is left alone. Flash one, or both in any order. These probably work on other Rhod phones, but I have no way to test them. So no screaming if something gets bricked. Based off the work in this thread. Reported not working on RHOD100 by this post. Reported working on RHOD300 here.
If you know of an image (480x800 res) that is even more amazing than these, and you feel it would be a good replacement drop me a link to it. If I love it, it will make it to the first post. Otherwise I might just whip one up special for you for contributing.

As of 3-25-13 I have moved onto the EG4G/SII phone after reading about it and SERO legacy at Howardforums.
I will stop in from time to time, and if I am given a newer kernel I will post it. However I will no longer be using this phone.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
i tried a lil last night and today on your lite version. had a few issues with it but i think that was caused by my mistake. i know you said NO support with the lite version. so later on today im gonna try the "full" one without any of my added stuff.
thank you for your time in putting this together for us and everyone else who kept this old phone working so long.
edit: i have rhodium 400 btw

You are welcome to ask questions about the light version. Just don't *expect* any help with it. If I know the answer I will respond. Sorry if I came across as stern. Someone else might know the answer too.
I wanted to set the tone to be caveat emptor (to quote Stinger22). As the lite version is missing a whole lot it might be broken, or broken by anything. It is just something I whipped up to play with, and decided to share incase someone else wanted to play.
I am glad to keep up the fight. These are still great phones, even if they don't play the newest games.
Thanks for your comments.

hi again. i did the lite version again with my tweaks... meaning i hate using goole play or any of the google apps in general (privacy concerns deleted apk's after flash and successful boot).
im currently using it on my rhodium without service (have two, one on sprint service). so i cant confim it works in those aspects. wifi works otb. didnt try blue tooth. camera works as expected. didnt try audio/video yet (we all know rhod dont have HW support lol). miss the keyboard but can install if needed. couldnt for the life of me figure out how to use the modded zeam you suggested (not a deal breaker i like the orginal one). decent battery life but not what i expected. phone went from 8 hrs @ 70% then down to 10% within next hour. turn off dont work so well sometimes it wrks most times not. on [ACL]'s rom ive been using app called "quick boot" to bypass this goofy activity. works like a charm from widget.
can this be reworked into a gsm phone? kinda know i need to security unlock. but what im getting at return to winmo, change security, finda gsm phone provider, reflash this rom and good to go? or just skip those crazy ideas lol?
again thank you for the rom you shared with us :good:

Most of Google's stuff was left in place because more people than not consider accessing the Google account info critical. Even if only for contacts and such. Matter of personal choice I say.
I cut the keyboard APKs as we have a physical keyboard. You can just side load them or put them back in the install zip. I am using the ICS keyboard from the market. I like it better for my virtual keyboard with a stone bold theme.
This is based off the GBX* rom, so it should probably work with the GSM variants of the the RHODs. I didn't dev the new kernel, but it should work. You could try the most recent ril, but I know it breaks cdma phones. The most recent ril had a GSM signal loss tweak in it. I don't know of any security you need to deal with, and I can't recall coming across any comments in the original GBX* thread about that.
If you are talking about unlocking the sim so you can use a CDMA device on a GSM network, that is unrelated to the rom for the most part.
If you are running the lite version I posted, just uninstall Zeam with something like titanium backup, and replace it with the apk that is linked.
Otherwise you could swap it out in the zip file before you install. It is located in /system/apps.
If you manually delete the apk from the phone /system/app and paste the new one into it's place while Zeam is running it will probably require a reboot before Zeam works. Probably not the best way to go about it assuming nothing explodes.
If you can't get it to work I can make up a version with the other ICS themed zeam.
Maybe that will help a bit.
*edit*
Been fooling around a little with the modded Zeam on the lite version. For some reason it doesn't install the icons right if there is not a non-zeam launcher running. *shrug*
I installed launcher2 apk from the full rom for the install. Then was able to side load the modded zeam.
*edit 2*
I posted an ultra lite rom with the classic launcher.

If you manually delete the apk from the phone /system/app and paste the new one into it's place while Zeam is running it will probably require a reboot before Zeam works. Probably not the best way to go about it assuming nothing explodes.
If you can't get it to work I can make up a version with the other ICS themed zeam.
Maybe that will help a bit.
*edit*
Been fooling around a little with the modded Zeam on the lite version. For some reason it doesn't install the icons right if there is not a non-zeam launcher running. *shrug*
I installed launcher2 apk from the full rom for the install. Then was able to side load the modded zeam.
*edit 2*
I posted an ultra lite rom with the classic launcher.

im not happy with google selling my info so i refuse to give them any space on my phone lol
i tried the modded zeam all the ways i could think of, before flash, after flash, through adb didnt matter. maybe corrupt apk?
no worries. ill try to redownload it and try it your way with launcher2 first
~unlocking the sim so you can use a CDMA device on a GSM network... yeah im not looking forward to paying to sim unlock it
but i am hella glad you got the zoom bar working :good:.

Be ok with loosing the money. Some people have reported that they didn't get the unlock info, and the dev for that is next to impossible to get to respond.
You might check this thread. Not sure if they got it working.
Most of the credit goes to Stinger22. The man is kicking some serious code butt!
I would try re-downloading the apk. I was able to install it with a adb install. Not sure what else it could be. Did you hold your tongue just right while dancing madly during the install?

Regardless, kudos on getting the zoombar to work - I was hoping someone would take mankineko's work there and adapt it... Glad it did not get forgotten!
Zoombar!!
Wow. Great work! I can't wait to try this when I get back from vacation.
If someone asked me to make a list of features I wanted to see in android on the rhodium it would go something like this:
1 Zoom bar
2 Zoom bar
3 ZOOM BAR!
Seriously never thought I would see it happen again though, so one more time; Great Work and Thank You!
(Sorry, I just didn't feel that the 'thanks' button alone was enough this time :laugh

Didn't know who did the base work. - Gave credit in the post.
Oh sweet, the zoom bar works now? I'd been hoping for that one. XD It's a shame I've moved on, but I may pull out the ol' TP2 as a backup device.

Thank you so much for your hard work (especially fixing zoom bar!!!.)
I have one question, does the kernel supports overclocking, and if yes to what frequency?
Thanks

Yes, overclocking is supported. This should be the same as 3.3.6. I believe the frequency range you can choose from is 122-825. Download your favorite overclocking app from the market, and have at it. I use quick cpu overclock lite.
*edit. I think we have some new governor options. Link for descriptions.

i havent tried to OC past 710 on my rhodium 400. but ive never been able to stay stable much past that on any rom. cpu jus freezes up past that on this phone for me.

710 is a respectable overclock. As all overclocking is concerned, YMMV. No one has a way to predict the speed you will be able to overclock to successfully. You might try reading this or this thread if you want to be educated on overclocking the TP2. Overclocking is usually 99% hardware limited. The rom you run is not likely to have much influence.

oops i do have a addon to this... i have two rhodium 400's both are sprint versions. the one that doesnt have have service is the one i test roms with. i believe it is an early made phone and thats why the limit of OC is kinda low. i can do 729 and 748 sometimes but why risk the ~40 mhz for stabililty (app i use is setcpu and this GBX0* rom). now the second one i have was a referb one and does have service. build date is much later and i can OC it over 800mhz but i usually only set it for 787mhz. again why risk the ~20mhz for stablility. (same setcpu but [ACL]'s OMGB rom). basically i agree with wizardknight its HW limited and the luck of the draw.
goodtimes guys!:good:
side note: (related to second rhodium, first one works fine with zoom bar) any way to port this to acl's rom? i used the flash from OP but the zoom bar is no go. heck idk if the zoom bar even works on this phone. guess ill be doing a flash dance on the one the zoom bar works. wizard i know it not your rom jus thought id ask again thank you for putting this together.

I am assuming that you mean OMGB by ACL's rom. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to port the feature without building your own kernel. It is my understanding that the 3.x kernels (what we use) are not compatible with that rom. OMGB userland is no longer receiving updates, so unless another dev adopts that rom it will never work.
I will take the 1% credit for this rom. I have done behind the scenes, packaging, some Bluetooth mods, and testing stuff. The other 99% goes to everyone (esp Stinger22) who has worked on it before me or with me.
On the phone that the zoom bar is not working, did you download that rom zip before or after 11-3? I didn't change the file names or links with the last update. You might try downloading the perms file at the end of the post, and installing that. Otherwise I would re-download, wipe, and reinstall.
If you are still having trouble let me know, and I will go check the zips to make sure that something didn't get busted in the last round of updates.
Blade Kernel will maximize performance by doing a multitude of activities in the background, especially while your phone is inactive. This is to ensure that the process of settling in doesn't bother you in everyday use.
Basics
Unlocked Clock Speed
NEW Unlocked GPU Clock Speed
New Touch Screen Driver
Empty CLR Commands for liquid smooth screen refreshing
New 4G Network Updates
New LTE/3G Network Updates

There is a ton that has been changed before this public release. It is actually my brothers work that he did for my GS3 and his. He now wants it shared, so any problems, please post here and let us know as I will be reporting back to him!
This has been in the works for months, and it from my opinion very polished.
Installation
Run Installer
Plug phone into PC, continue to end of installer
Unplug phone

Yes just delete the Blade firmware inside with the exe and replace it with your own.
Any more technical information? How are there "3G updates"?
Just minor tweaks that I made at a personal level, like the rest of my kernel it is very personal. I try to balance performance enough for it to be smooth, as well as easy on the battery to last all day.

Because something smells fishy. The whole zip is 3 megs smaller than most kernels. You didn't explain these "background" processes and tweaks in this kernel. No info about what these network tweaks are or what they do. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.

The fact that you have to do any of this is ridiculous, STAY AWAY.
He just said his brother made it, then just said that there were tweaks that he put in. I'd watch out.
you obviously didn't learn your lesson from the first thread you made. you need to get banned from xda, delete this thread please. malware.

No list of real modifications or changes, no flashable zip, doesn't even say for what platform, android version, or anything.
Definitely some jerkwad trying to spread malware. Gonna have to hope this is flagged and removed asap.

There are no sources and no credit given for anything "included" in this tool, at this point in the devices life, I highly doubt there is anything original left to do to it, let alone all that you claim this tool does. The fact that it is solely in .exe form is worrisome, to say the least, as any tweaking can and should be able to be done via scripts, which do not require exe's to run.
This is supposed to make tweaks at a kernel level, sources and documented changelogs should be in place as well.
I don't like it, smells a little off.
