[ROM] 14/9/2010 (2.1 Sense) Australian ROM + Extras - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

This my first ROM and was cooked for my own use. it has been tested to work on my GSM Hero. but it may not work on yours. so use at your own risk...
I was not able to find a ROM with English(Australia) that has App2SD. However, Thanks to dsixda's HTC android Kitchen. I was able cook one up by following the instructions.
To my surprise, not only did it boot. it seems to work quite well and everything seems to be working.
There is nothing fancy. The aim was to keep stock but add a few extra stuff while keeping the locale.
Features:
- based on RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_AUS_3.39.710.1. Android 2.1 with SenseUI
- stock English(Australia) and English (New Zealand) Locale
- standard apps nothing was removed.
- Rooted
- Super user installed
- BusyBox installed
- App2SD
- Wireless Tethering
- Bash Shell
- ZIP Aligned
- Not Deodxed
- Modified task killer to improve available memory and speed (thanks to androcheck's thread here)
radio is not included. if you need it the original radio is 63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.14
it can work with FlyKernel 10a but as the aim was to keep it stock. it has the original kernel that was in the RUU ROM (2.6.29-7527f009).

If you want to use an HK ROM and have English(Australia) try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8244239&postcount=21

I'll give it a go and see what happens.

hope it works well for you. I am really happy with it. It is me only giving reasonable benchmarks however the UI is feels quite a smoother than the original ROM in my opinion (probably because of the memory settings.)

i'm going to give it a go in the UK...just because I am a flashaholic

Sounds like an impressive first ROM project Good luck with development

@ maxisma
The OP is not breaking any rules. He has talked about features, tells exactly what he used to build the rom, and is acknowledging the sources.

hey this is cool. so what actually makes it australian (sorry if I missed that somewhere)?
nicely done release notes...

It is based on the stock Australian ROM. what make it unique is it has the English Australia Locale when you set it up and has the English Australian dictionary.
when you use the other World Edition ROMs you have to choose English US or English UK (as the English Australia is not available.)
that means when we use programs that uses the local locality such as the eBay app. it goes to the eBay US or UK site instead of the eBay AU site. I think it also affects the apps that is available in the Android market too.
the other thing is it has the complete APN settings for the local carriers. eg, With a Vodafone SIMM, it gives you an option of Crazy Johns and Vodafone as the Carrier. it you use the WWE based ROMS. Sometimes it gives you only Vodafone, sometimes it gives you nothing (depending on what the person who cooked the ROM decide to include)
BTW: Crazy Johns is a Phone shop who is also a "network" in Australia. (they re-brand Vodafone services and resells it as their own network)

This is cool! Thanks for your work

Good on you mate. I like the idea of "APN settings" where did you put these setting in the phone? I m on Lebara-Australia which uses crazy jones network. (Purtona.net) you might like to add Lebara to the list as well.

When you setup the phone on the initial setup using this rom. the first screen should give you crazy johns if your simm card can use that network. that should set it up for you automatically..
otherwise in the settings, you can go to wireless networks, then choose mobile networks. in there you should see the Access Point Names (or APN). you can manually set it up using these settings from here http://ausdroid.net/apns/#cj

What I mean is where in the ROM Directory structure you can set this APN.
anyway, I found it out. all the APNs is been set in an XML file in "/etc/apns-conf.xml". I ll try to add Lebara APN to this list then flash the rom.

Oh, sorry man. I did look it up but I wasn't sure if that was what you wanted. the file you are talking about does exist on this ROM. but it is blank. I am not sure anything you put in there will be picked up. you can always try and put it there using adb and see if it works.
I am trying to work out how to do an update patch zip file. if I work out how to do it. I can put the xml file into an update patch zip file. so you can flash it on top of the rom. I like to keep all the operator stuff original.

Here is the update zip file that you can flash on top. it has the XML file with Lebara APN settings. Please let me know if it works.

Update: I flashed the update and I can see the file in the correct place using adb. but it did not pick up the extra APN settings. does anyone knows where the APN settings are located in a ROM?

apns are located in /system/framework/framework-res.apk
when you open the apk, you find the apns in /res/xml/
open the file with the apns you want and just drag it to the file you want it to, to the proper directory ofcourse.

remember do not unpack the apk, just open both files in a archiwer and drag the file from one to the other

Trying this ROM now. Good to see someone release a ROM with Australia as a locale. Anyone having issues with the market? I can connect on Wifi but not on 3G on Telstra. APN seems to be fine (same as previous).
EDIT: furthermore has anyone tried the new HTC Sync with this ROM? Any success?

Softbank X04HT ROM (USIM nag screen removed)

Hi,
I cooked my first rom of Softbank X04HT with annoying USIM nag screen removed.
*** This ROM includes OS only ***
For unlocking issue, please see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414835
Other Mods:
- Sample Pictures, Wallpapers, Videos and Musics (.wmv) have been removed from the rom.
I didnt do many mods on this rom.... because I don't know how to...
Other Mods that I want to do if someone can help me:
- Remove all the default weather location (not from the full list, but the selected cities)
Finally, for people who want the mods, please PM me and keep the link for your own use. And don't forget, this is my first cooked ROM (by newbie) and use it as your own risk.
Thank you.

I have tried this ROM too, thanks to Sky Man:
1) yes it can run on any CID unlocked Diamond
2) yes it can make calls. I had exactly the same problem at first. You have to go to the phone/band settings: by default, it's set on 3G only. U've got to change this according with the service available where you live (automatic, GSM, try and see which setting works better for you)
3) the ROM was running fine and fast but I came a across a major bug, therefore I had to uninstall it: after the phone entered sleep mode there was no way to wake it up. Pressing the 'on' button would have no effect and I had to soft reset every time.
Thanks Sky Man for your hardwork anyway. Hope this can be fixed.
(I reinstalled telsta ROM and the bug has disapeared.

There could be a chance that your radio doesnt work with my ROM (actually, the rom from Softbank). Since I didnt do any tuning or mods on the settings, and I have no problem of using the ROM, therefore, I guess the problem could be radio (Im just gussing)
Other people who used this rom pls comment on it ~

the additional data is in the cd-rom which comes with the phone when you buy it. it's not in the rom, and you have to install the data from the cd-rom.
Why does Japanese roms only say 3G and not H? The Japanese ROM i tried only had 3G, but all the wwe roms I tried show H.

[Ask Your Questions Here] Questions And Answers for Vogue Users

All,
Due to good success in the Blue Angel section, I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum as well. This will be good to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the Vogue in any way. This includes but is not limited to people that are providing
*New Roms and Kitchens
*Programs and Apps
*Fixes
*Skins
*Tips and Tricks
However, I have a life (and so do most of you), which is why I would like to request the help from other Seniors (or anyone who knows the answer really ) to monitor the thread as well. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question 37000 times...
Without further ado, lets go for it!

GOOD IDEA!
Hi there Gents any input
Barogi awesome so far for v2; media player not staying in full screen mode though, and manila home weather under clock wont update when you push update now also getting error message for manila home on reboot
Great idea for a faq page!
I have been using a NFSfan rom on my bell vogue for a while, and it crapped out today for some reason. Rather than put another WM build on it, I wanted to change to Android.
I have looked through many pages in here, but I can't find a simple tutorial on switch from a custom WM build to a Android build. I prefer to use the NAND method so that I don't ever have to see WM again...
Can someone create or point me towards a step-by-step guide for installing Android? Keep in mind that I have absolutely no Android experience, and that my custom ROM is completely messed up, so would it make for sense to flash the a manf build and upgrade from there?
Thanks

I have a question:
I recently flashed the Bell rom with the latest radio (I couldn't get the radio only nbh to apply properly), and then subsequently flashed with the latest NagROM rom (which is awesome btw).
Now of course, at startup i have the nice HTC screen with the rom version etc, followed by an AWFUL blue BELL screen (and then the nice orange wm6.5 screen).
Is it possible to change the blue BELL screen? And if so how?

There was a cab to change that somewhere around here in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can flash NFSFan's rom (which will get rid of it), or you can try mine as well and then reflash Nag's rom.

Question from mac+htc
mac+htc said:
Hey everyone,
So I was running NSFANS 6.5 ROM on my device (Amazing ROM btw) But I needed to revert back to the stock rom. I used the VZW updater to go back to the stock rom and I changed the esn on line. When I dialed the *228 and choose option 1 I got a failed message. So I called customer support and he walked me through a manual programing. Well that got voice working but when I went to use the data it wouldn't work. I made sure all the network settings were right, and I still couldn't connect. Well then I hard reset the device and now I am back to square 1. No voice no data. Is this something from NSFANS rom that is messing the phone up? I don't want to call again because their tech support takes forever and I am afraid they are just going to tell me to take the phone into the store. Thanks in advance!

Why did you change the E$N? Where you using the device in a different carrier?
Back to your problem. Your EPST settings should survive a hard reset as those are parameters that are not stored in Windows (afaik). It really makes not difference which rom you are using (at least for Voice and SMS).
Lets focus on your main phone's capabilities first. If your EPST settings truly got lost, you will need to get them from Verizon again. The main ones are the MSD and MIN. Make sure that you write them down this time as you will need them again if they go bye bye.
As for your internet, you will probably need to set the correct username in the phone's programming as well (also info that you will need from Verizon, but it should be something like [email protected] or something like that)
Do that and let me know if this works. They will have to program this for you this time, but once you have the values that I mentioned before, you will be able to do it yourself.

Try to get Barogi's latest "lite" rom. Also, you can't go wrong with vin's 28014 or NFSFan's rom. I would recommend mine, but I think they might be a little heavy for what you want. Good luck.
i checked out NSFSfan. It was nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for what I want. Ill check out the other you suggested before i just flash back to stock rom

Try to avoid stock if you can... it has a bad tendency of being too heavy on the extra apps.
I checked out just SS's of both. Both look awesome, but theres something about the simple look ( or im just used to it since my 8125 ) of the stock look. I would like to have the look but the added memory of a cooked rom.
With NSFSfans, could you remove the today screen plug ins to get back to a more stock look?
Im runnin 2.1 android eclair at the moment, and im barley pulling a full day battery with no data/bluetooth. With the old winmo, I was getting 2.5 days-3days. Thats another main concern for me.

[ROM] 2-18-10 Egzthunder1's 28230 (MetroPCS) - Clean Version

Busy day today
Anyways, I decided to discontinue 25005 since it had a graphical bug, which after spending several hours looking for answers, I couldn't fix...
So, here is the newest build (yes, even newer than 25005)
Build log is pretty much the same as 25005 but with a few exceptions
*Increased pagepool size to 18 MB!
*New Build 25005 (no clue about which COM branch it belongs to, so please don't ask )
*Added Bing
*MSN Widgets are Back
*Removed Opera since there is a newer version out there (with Flash support!). I haven't gotten the cab, so I will let you all install it and let me know
*Internet Sharing Added
*FaceBook Mobile is Back!
*Added QuickGPS (for faster lockons... or so I hear)
*Dialer Lag is gone!!!
*The only extra that I don't like (and I did not put in) was haptic feedback when touching the start menu. If anyone knows how to get rid of this... please.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Removed
*Showcase
*Mega dialer (simply left stock). Probably will try to use the GSM dialer from NFS's thread.
*Added Arcsoft MMS to UC Folder
*Added Netfront Concept 4 (latest one) to UC (replace with your choice of browser if you like something else). I find Opera very hard to use without an accelerometer and a scroll wheel, so I decided not to cook it in.
*Updated GoogleMaps to the latest publicly available
*I added a pretty cool looking theme for 6.5 but it was the cause for my funny looking icons and scrollbars, so use at your own risk.

Egz - glad to see you have a new one out! I'm downloading right now and will flash sometime tomorrow. By the way, in post #2 the screenshots didn't show up, just thought I would let you know. I'll let you know how the new ROM is working once I get it flashed.

hehe, I am aware of the screenshots. I was trying to get My Mobiler to see my device, but it just refused to connect. I will try to get something like CapSure or some other tool and get the screenshots directly from my device...

It should as long as you install the Verizon provisioning cab over top NFSFan's roms are built for Bell by default but they run fine on other carriers. I'm not sure if there is something special about MetroPCS that would cause issues but I think you should be fine.

The instructions for Verizon that cody gave seem pretty much on the money from what I have read. Try that and if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll get you something else . BTW, the MMS composer in the UC folder is preset for VZW, you may not need to do anything...
The new rom is great, but aggggg the vibration! I did a google to find a registry key to turn it down (not off) and came up dry. Otherwise solid work so far!!! Thanks.!

If you got my 25005, there is a fix for it (you have to edit the registry in a couple of places), which I posted on that thread (it is related to Showcase and it was driving me nuts too ). My advise would be to go with 28230. It seems a bit more stable...

Well, it is Friday, in Miami with no moon at all
I've got it up and running this afternoon. Here's s couple of thoughts & questions:
#1) I couldn't get your included ROMUpdateUtility.exe to run on Vista. I just dropped the nbh file in a folder from another rom and it flashed fine. I may have had a corrupted download, but it all extracted fine.
#2) CM Internet Sharing and ICS Control, are these useful on a phone without wifi? I'm curious to know how they can be used.
#3) I'm an EzInput bigot. I still think you should add it
#4) You have a lot of config utils included. Not sure how easy it is to do when cooking, but you might want to throw those in the Tools folder in the start menu. I doubt 90% of users would touch those.
Good job, thanks for cooking these for us.

[Q] Korean Version SHV-370K - ROM/GroupPlay/ChatON

Hey people,
I recently purchased a Korean variant of the S4 Mini. The model is SHV-370K. To my findings, its equal to the main version I9195. Is that correct? I do have the NFC chip installed. My question is, can I flash an official ROM like the ones used in the I9195? I have to much KOREAN language apps and I dont think I am prepared to root it. If I can flash an official ROM on this via ODIN?, will I still be able to get the OTA? My current version is 4.2.2. And checking on Sammobile I have the latest. The Korean stuff is just to much of a hassel and I am not sure if I will even get an update. Can I flash an official ROM and not lose warranty and root?
My second question is that I cannot make Group Play work on 2 of these S4 Mini's. They just dont connect. It says Network Lost and sometimes failed to join group. I've tried working it over with NFC and Wifi Direct. Normal gallery pictures and everything send easy, just this app that I really really want to use. Would be great if some one would help me.
My last question is that ChatON keeps giving an Error while checking for push services. I have tried everything. Changed networks, tried Mobile Networks. All my apps are up to date, even the annoying Samsung Push Service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much people.
Have a great day.
Oh and I think its Carrier Branded? Cuz it has this Olleh writen on its back cover?
So ChatON and Group Play is working after they have been updated most recently. I did update them before but they dint seem to work. The current updates work good. Any one about the ROM issue? Would love some help <3.

you can only use a korean K rom, or a modify rom for the K version, otherwise you can brick your phone.

Hi guys,
Have you found any solution to this problem? I'm also an [almost] happy owner of a Korean-branded S4 Mini and as USSD codes don't work, was told that firmware needs to be changed. But this being specifically a Korean phone, I'm not sure other ROMs out there will even be 100% compatible.
Thanks,
Vit

Thanks, but I don't think I have to enter a password, since other phones work without it. Unless it's somehow phone-specific, but my operator reps would probably have told me (instead they just said the firmware needs to be changed). What secret menu are we talking about? perhaps aI could investigate. At any rate, if there someone has managed to flash the Korean version of the phone with a more "universal" firmware, I'd like to know. Thanks!

This secret menu allows you to modify the network, frequencies and other stuff, each korean service privider has it's own password.

you don't need the menu for the ussd, korean version has their own set of ussd, they are different from the international version, some are the same , but most are different.

Please forgive me as I'm a total noob, but after your last reply it hit me: we're probably talking about different USSDs. I meant that my operator USSD codes didn't work, the ones that I send to find out my remaining balance and to also enable/disable services etc. (e.g. I would send *444#2#1 to find out my remaining balance), not the phone's own USSD codes (like the service menus etc, e.g. the IMEI check with *#06#). Operator USSD codes just don't work - the phone either sits trying to connect for a few minutes (locking the phone down during this time), or just says that the signal is too weak. So I guess I do need to install a different firmware to fully unlock it.
Thanks for trying to help though, I'm learning new stuff!

Mate I have the same problem here. The USSD codes just dont work. My balance check does work though. All I have noticed that USSDS that need two steps dont work. Example to transfer credits, I type *456# and in return it should ask me what number I need to transfer my credits, but it just doesnt work. I have tried the menu but no idea what that is all about. Still cannot find what to do.
Secondly I met some one at the forums who has the same device as ours. HE said installing Cynogen Mod is working and it doesnt effect us having a model of SHV something. LOL. So I dont know if I should go ahead and flash a custom rom. I would rather flash an official rom but no one is helping here and I cant seem to find any. Like maybe we could flash an english rom from UK. Something official like the normal I9195 have! Not some korean ones.
New Update.
Hey people! I just got an OTA update and all I see new is a Google Drive icon. The update is still on 4.2.2 and not 4.3. It was about 96mb of file size. How can I take out the changelog and read what bug fixes it brings?
hello
how to do I move from SHV or change the CSC code?
for now getting only the Korean pop up messages.
Want to change to Australia CSC code.

I've read about CSC Select app (on google play market), but I think you need root for this to work. I'm not an expert on that though.

Question editing a file /priv-app/imsservice/imsservice.apk for adding a profile IMS For VoLTE

some background,
I am after thorough tests on the topic of how it works VoLTE and VoWiFi And what causes it to be activated in some providers and in some not.
The source from which I drew all a lot of information was: https://volteromania.blogspot.com/p/samsung-voltevowifi-settings.html?m=1
Actually, I followed all the steps but got stuck on the most important part.
In order to start communication for VoLTE It is necessary to define a profile IMS.
Samsung chose - unlike APN Not to allow any user to create such a profile, but the profiles are inside files json in the file /system/priv-app/imsservice/imsservice.apk
I am very interested in trying to edit the files json These, but all my attempts were unsuccessful.
I have a Samsung S21 ultra Rooted, on which I perform the tests.
I can't edit the APK without hurting him. Any change in it causes the application not to load - and completely disables the service IMS and the registration.
The files I want to edit are in
/priv-app/imsservice/imsservice.apk/res/raw
It's files json simple.
Maybe someone can help me?
im curruntly trying to enable Volte on Samsung SM-N920L korean phone in defferent region..no luck..im rooting for you..if any succuss please let we know too..
I gave up.
This is Samsung's behavior on purpose to make consumers have to replace the phones.
Anyway, in the technical part,
In Android 13, in my opinion, this is not completely possible, since every change in the application damages the signature, but even in older versions it is necessary to change the Java code as well, And as you know it is compiled.
I spent many hours on this, with several devices, I purchased a Galaxy 7 for the tests, and I failed.
I do not know if this still works, but on my SM-9700 (HK) with Android 10 I made VoLTE work in Germany by copying the "product/omc/DBT/conf" from a SM-970F to the corresponding TGY directory of the SM-9700.
I was able to run volte on the galaxy s7.
It requires a lot of changes.
Including in the smali files of the application imsservice.apk and it was a nightmare.
In my case I had to add a brand new provider that didn't appear anywhere, maybe that's why everything was complicated and maybe if it's a defined operator and just enabling the option is simpler.
Anyway,
It really wasn't easy, but I had most of the information from the first post I wrote, but I was also able to find a lot on my own.
It is not easy.
Maybe Samsung will release the source code (including java) of the imsservice.apk application and then it will be easier..
Have you ever tried just copying the content of the conf directory from another phone?
This made VoLTE work on my Hong Kong Note10 (Snapdragon) in Germany.

I have nowhere to copy. I don't have a phone that works with the same carrier I wanted to test. I had to write all the settings myself.
Which carrier do you need? We (the forum) might copy it for you.

Hi,
I would like to have your guidance
I have a LG v60 L-51a docomo model where field test option (hidden menu ) is disabled.
I am unable to enable volte in India to use jio.
Searched various options seems no way out. However i was able to locate hidden apps by using 3party launcher app. LG ims. But unable to launch hidden menu to changed ims settings. Help me to by pass this application to enable volte.
I don't know if this will help anyone, or if anyone can help me, but...
SM910v, (verizon wireless) with T-Mobile SIM
6.01 Marshmallow (please read the rest anyway)
4G/LTE Data works.
Voice calls fall back to 2G/Edge, ie no VoLTE.
-------- HOWEVER -------
Changing the sales_code.dat from VZW to TMO enables VoLTE, and it works great.
(it breaks the settings pages, though, so it's not a solution)
When sales_code is VZW, then IMS Settings-->IMS Information:
All are "false", Registration Information is "no profile is registered", although the profile "T-Mobile VoLTE/RCS" is available and status is 'on' in the Manage IMS Profiles page.
I can not find a way to 'register' it.
When sales_code is TMB,
then, in IMS Settings-->IMS Information:
All are "true", Registration Information is "T-Mobile VoLTE/RCS",
And, of course, VoLTE works great.
I mention this in this thread because just having the correct profile present & available may not be enough. At least in my case, it appears that the sales_code (or some other CSC function) flips a flag somewhere that allows the profile to become selected/active. I've been trying to find it for six weeks, with no luck yet. Thanks for reading.
