[CDMA][ROM] Better Than Life ® <Honeycomb>Beta 1.0. 3g enabled

Tired of the drama
I am not coming back.
You want future releases? catch me on TAD

Saving this spot to yell at people who ask stupid questions. LOL
No, im not going to yell, just make you feel stupid.
Again I kid I kid.

Another Revolution for SGT Nice Job!!!

an arm picture, just to hold a spot

Thanks. Will try it out and let you know.
Thanks in advance

I'll give this a shot, thanks.

Could you tell us if space still plans to finish a new honeycomb for tabs, or has he maybe given up on it? I ask because I see from other threads that he is helping out other devs and that he has bricked his tabs.
Please notice that I'm not asking any "when" questions. I love my tab and I plan to keep it as long as possible and it would be great to one day have a tab optimised operating system on it
There are actually people who think that I with my SG Tab am jealous of their ipads. Moahaha!

Looks like HC, exact same HC Dan released that was 2.5, only I fixed Audio, BT, and a few other things that I cant remember.
GSM version will probably never happen, I dont own a GSM tab, cant afford one, and even though i just switched to tmobile, they dont have any.

The reason behind me not releasing a GSM version of anything...
I dont own a GSM tablet. I dont have the funds to buy a GSM tablet, and I own CDMA tablets.
Plus, lets be honest here, there are enough GSM dev's out there to choke a horse, to stab each other in the back and steal stuff, lie , and generally BS others.
But, it comes down to me not having a GSM tablet.

Does this include the 1.5ghz overclock kernel from the last build? Or do we have to flash it separately? Is video playback working?
Thanks oldmacnut I really appreciate your work and dedication to us CDMA tab owners =]

Ok, so here is the deal...
Spacemoose was building the 2.5 froyo based Honeycomb, I jumped in to help out with a few things, well he decided to move to the Gingerbread base for his HC 3.0 so all the changes i made, were never included.

Paranoid Android for our GS3(Will it be ported)

I was watching a review today of Paranoid Android for the i9300 & it looked amazing! I've been enjoying the new TW ui, much to my surprise, so I've been taking advantage of its many new features, but tablet mode was looking so great on the 4.8 inch screen! I've only ever really tested it much on my old Sensation, but the smaller screen with the lesser resolution made it seem not so ideal. I really think it could take advantage of the beautiful bigger screen of the T999! It's so unique and it would give us a whole new way to use our phone. Does anyone know how to port this to our phone? Maybe someone here is friendly with the Paranoid Roms development team? Any ideas or insight?
PS: I've tried playing around with the dpi without much success . I couldn't seem to get the phone to behave as a tablet like with some other devices, and it didn't seem to be very stable after modifying it...

Hello, I too have a sensation and have just ordered the s3. It it a big improvement over the sensation?

Oh God yes, lol! I was using the Sensation quite a bit before the gs3 was released because there's a lot of development & it can be a fun device to play with, but it's not worth comparing to the gs3. I'll probably always keep my sensation because I don't like to get rid of any of my phones, and I'm kind of a phone junkie, but it's been on loan to a friend for a few weeks now. The Gs3 will be a huge upgrade if the Sensation is the only phone you've been using.

It probably will get ported I also can't wait I used it on my galaxy nexus and love the Rom, the tablet ui is amazing and makes thin easier IMO

From what I have heard it should be a pretty easy port seeing as it's based off of cm9/10. I 'll probably give it a try tomorrow and upload a test build for you to try out, but im not making any promises because this week is busy for me.
EDIT: what one would you like me to try JB or ICS?

Well, if your asking what I personally would like, then you freakin" rock sir! I suppose if I were to choose which I'd like to see first it would be a cm9 base, simply because odds are it would be the most stable. A jb build would be incredible, but I generally only flash roms that are fully functional & can be used as a daily driver. I'm not the flashaholic I once was mostly because I don't have the time to be. If your able to get it booting & its stable that would be fantastic! I've personally always looked at PA as a rom that's more for something like the Note, but I think the gs3 is just large enough that I want to run with it & reinvent how I use my primary phone. If we get a 100% functional build, I may never look back, but like I said above, I've never really driven it hard before?

I got it booting but I have no signal wifi works though. I'm no dev so maybe someone can help me.
I have no signal cause it made me lose my IMEI

OK so I restored my Nandroid and I have my IMEI back. My IMEI said unknown in phone settings so im guessing that it was just the roms fault not a wiped IMEI? anyway here are some pics and I will upload the build. Root doesn't work as well as pad control but it's a start. Any dev is welcome to take this and use it to try and make it more functional.

Im pretty sure it's because the permissions aren't properly set for the pad.prop among others. I will have a look at the updater script tomorrow.

Wow Bro, that was fast! I know nothing about developing or porting, but I've just been starting to look into a few threads on the 101. It's definitely nothing that I'll pick up overnight, lol! Maybe if you post the build in development someone will work on it with you? I never thought I'd say this, but TW is running so smooth & has so many nice touches on FreeGS3 that I probably won't flash anything until this is running strong or a super stable Jellybean Rom of any flavor drops.

Ya I'm kind of a noob myself learning as I go.

I love PA! Hope you get some other devs to help you get this fully functional.
Once they finalize CM10, a port of JB PA would be awesome!

+1! When we get PA stable, that will get me away from FreeGS3 to check it out. Every day that I use FreeGS3 I fall more I think love with Red's tweaked TW build! I would run this on any device, there are alot of great features in TW now, & Red added even more. I love the tablet style apps though, they are so much more funtional. If I could keep a TW base, but get tablet mode for all my apps then that would be the perfect rom for me. I don't think that'll ever happen, so I'll have to run PA for a week once it's finished & see which I prefer.

I see a few things that aren't perfect just looking through the zip. Wont know more until i get it flashed but this shouldn't be too difficult.

I fixed ril. But it broke boot.
Ril paths in build.prop should be
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/smd0
But somehow that breaks boot.

[ROM][PORT] Sprint Official JB - VPBLJ7 - Nov. 8, 2012

Official Sprint JB Build VPBLJ7
Port to T-Mobile SGH-T999​
This is a fully stock port of Sprints Official Jellybean release, build VPBLJ7.​
Based on the official stock firmware released by sextape and patched with T-Mobiles latest JB leak UVDLI8.​
My ultimate goal with this is to have a fully working, stock JB release that is stable enough to match our upcoming official release from T-Mobile! In the end, this will contain a lot of what you would expect to find in T-Mobile's release, yes this includes some bloat! (Not all bloat!) From there, I will try to get out some modded variants to play with!
Hopefully, you will find this to already be good enough to use as your daily driver. (I have been running this version for the last week and have had virtually no issues at all!) I made the initial port in the first few days after Sprint's release, and after some tests and adjustments, I feel it is already quite close to meeting my goal! :fingers-crossed:
Goals:
Fast and Stable enough to rival T-Mobiles unreleased official JB!
Provide a good daily driver to satisfy those who just...can't....wait!
Provide a strong, stable base for developers to play with!​
FEATURES ​
Code:
[CENTER]Sprint Build VPBLJ7 + T-Mobile Leak UVDLI8
Insecure Stock UVDLI8 Kernel
Init.d support
Deodexed
Zipaligned
CarrierIQ Free
Rooted with latest SuperSU 0.97
Latest BusyBox 1.20.2 from Linus Yang
Good Battery Life!
No Flickering![/CENTER]
What's Working ​
Code:
[CENTER]WiFi Band Selection
HSPA+21/+42 confirmed!
WiFi Tethering / Hotspot
(Use Sprint Hotspot App)
BT Tethering
Camera/Camcorder + audio
exFat Support
Smart Stay
Smart Rotation
Play Store - T-Mobile Account Billing[/CENTER]
Not Working​
Code:
[CENTER]Bluetooth Calling
It has been reported that there are problems with making and receiving calls via Bluetooth.
Data and streaming seem to work fine. I am working on a fix now. Thanks for your patience guys!
WiFi Calling
(I will try to either port the code into this ROM, and/or I will make a second one which trades Smart Rotation for this)
4G Reporting
(So far it only shows 3G in the Status Bar, and UMTS:3 as Mobile Network Type)
(I have been able to fix it so it does connect to HSPA+, it is only the reporting that is wrong.)[/CENTER]
The only "extra" I have added to this rom is the WiFi Band Switcher.
It will allow you to switch between Auto, 2.4GHz, and 5.0GHz for your wireless connection!
I know this is technically not stock, but it brings back previous stock functionality which should never have been removed!
Huge Thanks to madmack from the International GS3 forum for his work and allowing me to use it here!!!

Dont forget to thank him for his work! :highfive:​

I can't wait to start getting feedback from everybody! Naturally, let me know of any bugs/issues you have, but there are one or two things I would like for someone to confirm for me.
As I mentioned, HSPA+21 seems to be working just fine for me, and it is just the reporting of your connection type that is wrong. I do not have HSPA+42 in my area, so if someone who does can run some speed tests and report back that would be great! I fully expect it to be working, but as I said, I just cannot confirm this myself.
I can verify +21 in that I consistently am getting downlink speeds between 9-12Mbps! As far as I can remember, this would not be possible on any pre-hspa+21 tech, and these are the speeds which can often be expected on a +21 network.
I am hoping to see some reports of 17-22Mbps, or greater, from some of you lucky folks in an area with +42!
I believe the problem lies in Sprint's framework, since it wasn't coded to ever expect or use hspa+. I should be able to add this in...we will see!
Another thing I am hoping for verification on, and doubt itll take long to get, is WiFi Tethering. It does work for me, and I am on the Android Preferred 5GB plan which is not supposed to have Tethering support, so I fully expect it to work for everyone! I would just like to get confirmation of this in case I am only able to use it because of something left over from my old plan. Doubtful, but you never know!
NOTE: About exFat support. I did confirm that you can use a sdcard formated as exFat. However, I do not recommend this, use Fat32 if possible. The main reason for this, is the lack of support for it beyond this rom. Other kernels will likely not be able to make use of this format, and currently, neither CWM nor TWRP are able to. So if you are trying out different stuff, or are a flash addict, you will only run into problems down the line.
I would only recommend using exFat if you are using a 64GB micro SDXC, and are planning to stay with a single rom for a while.
Regarding WiFi Calling. I know this is a major feature for a lot of you, so I will probably release a second version of this rom that carries wifi calling support. The current port has all of the required components, and I believe is ready for WiFi calling, but since this is a Sprint build, it did not include the options in the Settings menus to enable it. If I do go with a second version, for now, it will be a trade off of sorts. You will likely have to give up Smart Rotation, and potentially other features. I will do my best to minimize this, and i will be trying to port WiFi calling into the current build so we can get the best of everything!
If anyone has any tips, or insight into any of this, I would be happy to hear it!
Remember, this is intended to be a Stock build only. Extra mods and features will not be included, though you are welcome to post them if you have them for others to use! Im planning on releasing modded versions in the near future as well. And provided it turns out to be good enough, I will be looking forward to what else our devs can do with this one!
I tested as much as I could as thoroughly as I could, but I am sure some of you will find some issues I did not.
In the end, I just hope you guys enjoy the rom and everyone finds at least parts of it to be useful!
Happy Flashing!!!

Screenshots!
Here are a few screenshots I took a few days ago to show how the battery has been on this rom!

That'll link to the link where I heard about 4.1.2. Or more specifically heard it implied! 1st paragraph mentions AT&T getting official JB next week, but it says 4.1.2. Could be a typo, not sure.
But it stands to reason that if Sammy passed 4.1.2 to ATT, they've done the same for the rest. I'm expecting its a typo.
I did read somewhere else that the 4.1.1 updates are still coming as planned, but we can expect 4.1.2 in Q1 of next year. Wish I could remember where I saw it! That'd be cool though if it got fasttracked to us! Regardless of the version, I'm looking forward to yet another JB release to mess with!
Looking forward to your feedback on this one! Thanks guys!

Right on! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
No advanced power menu. For now my initial goal is to have a plain stock build that'd be good enough for t-mobile to release!
Once Im satisfied with it (probably before) ill start on a modded version. I mostly wanted to try to achieve a build that isn't restricted by the bugs we have in our current leaks. Basically a good, stable base for me, and hopefully other devs, to work from!
That said, if you do modify anything, and care to share it, by all means, please do! I know most people here will appreciate it!

[Q] I'm surprised devs are still working on this device

I meandered on to the development section and was quite surprised to see such recent ROMS and developers working on a cell phone that is turning 3 years old in 5 months. Many EVO buyers have had their contracts expire and are able to upgrade to a new phone. There are much faster phones out there, with better specs that are possibly more interesting to develop for, because you might reach a larger user base. My question to the Devs is why are you sticking to the original EVO? Don't get me wrong, I am a current original EVO owner myself so by all means, keep up the good work, just curious as to why you stuck to such an old device.

Simple answer is its fun! Its a great way to get practice and many devs have friends in the forum. So why walk away completely? If you still have it, you can test away on things you try to build.

Haha, so the EVO is just a scapegoat for developers that don't want to brick their actual device?

Accidental thanks :banghead: in some cases, no. But I actually have less a reason to not flash everything in sight, if you catch my drift..

Also the EVO is, and always has been a great Device. Why walk away from it when it still viable, and as stated hellua fun. The proof is in the pudding. Look at the support, and Rom Development available

If I could boil it down to a sentence it would be... The Evo is a great device to build for.

4.2 on the OG is more functional than 4.2 on the Jewel. And I need the 4.2 Bluetooth stack. So . . . yeah . Thus the reason my OG is listed as Device 1 in my sig .

Hell, Devs are still working on the Samsung Moment

Sprint htc evo 4g
i bought a sprint htc evo 4g that i bought from amazon ... i cant use sprint in my country and i cant unlock a sprint phone since itc cdma right?... but can i just leave the phone like with sprint but root it and play wiith iit because the only reason i bought it was to learn everything about rooting and i needed a test device...??

There are jelly bean ROMS for the OG? Are all the radios working?

Sure. Since you don't have service on the phone, it's basically a really small tablet. All the basic functionality will work, and there is always WiFi.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Please, be specific. The ROM is fully functional outside of the things that require new drivers for Android 4.x, i.e. front-facing camera, and WiMAX.

Yep and over on XDA-Developers, it's the most actively dev'd device still. It was the Evo of it's time

It's actually SDX Developers...and yes the Moment was the "Evo" of it's time, sadly however, it's time has passed. I'm a new convert over to XDA from SDX, having to give last rites to my Moment a month ago. Really only one active ROM still being worked on (UberMoment 1.6 - props to TheTehk17 for hanging in there :good: ). They never got a GB Rom fully functional (CM7 was close), all dev was, and still is, Froyo. Major hardware limitations and lack of support will probably keep any further ROM upgrades forthcoming.
Inherited an OG to use for now - great to see all the work being done! Waiting for the arrival of the S4 or M7 for upgrade, until then enjoying the plethora of ROM's available!
Upon upgrade, I will be passing the OG on to any dev here who will continue to put it to good use!

lol.. brain fart
Yeah, I never thought the Moment could successfully run Froyo, unless there was a hybrid Froyo/GB Rom. I dev'd a nice ROM for the Moment, but I think I took all the links down a few months ago.

The devs did a pretty good job porting over Froyo ROMs from the Intercept and Transform, and got those pretty functional. Otherwise, the phone would have been stuck on 2.1 Eclair! As mentioned, they have a somewhat working CM7 - buggy, but it does boot up.! The dev that ported that moved on leaving no one to work out the kinks.
So, for me, I'm like a kid in a candy store with not only GB Roms, but ICS, JB, AOSP.......and Sense too! Hell, I'm in hog heaven

lol. yeah, you can flash a different ROM every day for a year, going back to 2.1 if you wanted to

lol - I might have to hold out on that upgrade until I get this "flashing" urge under control..........
Will be interesting to see when the S4/M7 debuts, how long it takes to get dev going on each

i'm glad dev's have kept this phone up to date its alot of fun

CM10.1 on T-Mobile Galaxy S 4!!

As you may know, Steve Kondik, creator of CyanogenMod, has our device. As of now, he has a working version of CM running on it! It's not finished, official, or even released as alpha yet, but it's great to know. Sources:

This is great news! First, we find out the bootloader is unlocked, now CM is already in the works!
Another bit of info from Steve's G+ post: our device's code name is "jfltetmo".

Nice! I'm amazed at how quickly everything is coming together. I still don't even have the phone yet and there's already a root and ROMs are coming together.

Thanks for the heads up - things are getting exciting.

CyanogenMod: Paving the way for user freedom from the tyranny of carrier-itis! I love CM, and on a related note (because I know it'll be jokingly mentioned), my name is not a ripoff of his, I've been using this handle since 2001, long before Android was even rumored to be fathomed by Google. Time to start seriously considering the S4 as an option.

Nom.
Looks like I won't need to release a ROM.
e: But I might anyway.

sweet!

i didnt realize how much i hate touchwiz untill i got the s4. love the features like air gestures and smart scroll, but i still need me some aosp non bloated goodness.
Plus im sure at some point there will be a way to at least get smart scroll carried over to aosp

Same here, I thought "oh i'll just throw Nova launch on there and everything will be dandy". Nope, to many Samsung customization on everything. Its annoying. The settings menu is a major downgrade from stock jellybean.
I'm hoping for AOKP to support, but i'll gladly take CM if it comes 1st. Need my AOSP goodness too.

Hmm I'm thinking of picking this up ASAP. Good to know the support is already underway. I might hold of for a bit but I'm pretty confident in Samsung devices. My experience with HTC has been horrible.
