[Q] UNOFFICIAL Synergy for EVO

Not trying to start anything, but I believe that we should be discussing this ROM as many people love and have been using it. I have been going to the droid sections to find info. on this ROM and figure out issues that are going on, but have found that a few of these issues don't apply to the EVO.
So, first let me say that this is a very nice ROM...love that weather animation and it has several very nice features which will get better in time. Boot ups are very quick and I really like that CRT TV turn off effect. So, thanks to all the Dev.s that have worked on this ROM.
As some know it is a 285+/- meg flash, so it seems that I can't load as many apps after the flash as some of the other ROMS out there. I have partitioned my Gtablet before but it doesn't seem to be as straightforward with my version of CWM (cant find it?)
Do I want to partition my SD card to free up more space nad what is the recommended partition size? Thanks.

N before the delete. you said a bad word

egthunder said to stop posting links but at the same time the OP is right, it would be nice to have a place discussing this. I think this is fine and eventually Myn can post up his ROM and this thread can be locked.

Doing some homework first might help. This is right from his site:
INSTRUCTIONS
BACK UP YOUR MEMORY CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING
Reboot into recovery (if your not on AmonRA's latest put THIS on your sd, boot into bootloader and install
Select Partition sdcard
Select Partition SD
I have a 18GB Card so i left the swap at 32mb you can choose 0 if you like
Ext2-size = 2048 (this is 2GB the reason so big is because of the 3.0 packages taking up so much space)
Select upgrade ext2 to ext3
Select upgrade ext2 to ext3
Select upgrade ext2 to ext3
First flash the PRI and hit reboot let it flash the 1.77 Pri this will make sure your phone sleeps
Next flash the rom and enjoy!!!

Good thing i downloaded it before they close the thread

i was trying to tranfere the weather app from this rom to the B1.3 but i got no luck i try using root explorer and copying the wather apk, htc clock apk and one that says com.htsomthing to the system app then changed the premition and rebooted the phone i click on the weather clock and what happed is it open the new weather widget for like 2 seconds and then FC.
i rich my limit any help?

wow. twice in a day?
if I was being an optimist, I might say that at best this should be in gen, if at all.

I'm not one to buck rules or wish's but I would love clarification why there's an incredible thread but no evo thread.

it doesn't because there's a whole thread on it in another forum, and its not private.
you can access and download the evo nightlies from it as well, so all the access and no info.

I don't see any harm in an unofficial thread for discussion so as long as no links are provided. This should be in General BTW. The previous thread, I deleted because it was ridden with links, profanity, off topic, flaming, etc...
One other thing, the fact that incubus did release it to the masses does not mean that this was intended for the EVO as well. This is not the first time this has happened and I sure hope that it is the last one.
To answer to everyone's concerns, myn will make an official thread with the beta shortly, just as he did with his Warm 2.2.
Final and simple rule... If the dev didn't post it in open forum, please don't repost links or mirrors. You are not Robin Hood, or the caped crusader of your choice by doing this. Failure to follow this very simple guideline will result in your post being deleted and you may end up either infracted or banned.

Just curious, what's so different about this ROM comparedto MikG's?

yeah, I definitely don't want to come off as demanding access to the rom while its in development, its there project and its awesome that they do it, and let us use it.
I just want to watch the awesomeness develop and have details on it, always cool info is awesome, haha.

[APP]|Glazed Mods|A New Way To Mod|Beta|6-22-12|

Hey forum i back yet again, this time i present to you a new kind of app its called glazed mods. This app is so uniques to all the others, well maybe it may only be one of a kind. So what does this app do, easy it allows you to download the mods that are posted on it. I thought to myself, hmm why not make anyone on any rom enjoy this app, so i am, currently all of the apps are working on glazed ICS, any other rom such as gederom can only download the ones with a little orange plus on them.
By what i mean this app is one of a kind i mean that it uses a new way of presenting apps to you. So what makes it unique is that it is a WebView loading a 600*1024 flash website. It fits perfectly to your screen and the abbilities of flash is customization, and many other little tweaks that this app can support.
Things you need to know
Do not click an item multiple times it might cause the app to crash
There is an update feature that downloads the latest update of the roms listed, if you want to see more roms. Contact me or comment below, need devs permission.
You will recieve automatic updates but not by updating the app.
Please report any bugs in the request section
YOU NEED FLASH INSTALLED

Hi Hyperrunner, excited to try this, if I already have Mods installed on glazed will this detect them and let me disable them if I want to, or do I have to install them through the app itself? Thanks

I made this app and he made the website. just saying. We work as a great team. XD. I like XDA cause u can take out the A and it makes a cool face. XD

You have to install through the app in order to detect that it is downloaded. But you can reflash glazed ics or any other rom and it will delete all the mods.
Yes reboot into recovery works, but if you are using FFF 1.4a it doesnt (The one that can have 2 roms at a time)

alright thanks for the info

Thanks!
Well, there goes any chance of my getting anything productive done today. I am just going to have to play with this.
Thanks, guys, I appreciate all your work.

Very cool app! Used it to get the inverted market on AOKP and everything worked perfectly. Can't wait to see even more mods!

It needs su because It installs a custom virus. JK.I am using a lot of native code such as wget and that's why I need switch user permissions. It was not working until I added su -c.If you look in the super user logs you can see all commands it uses.

We are having many problems with minus. It either works or it doesnt. We are thinking of reuploading but we have no money for a direct link service were only using minus because its free. Do you have any other direct link service other than dropbox?
Oh a fix for your problem maybe would be to clear cache and data then reboot and it should work.
If that doesnt work you can use the pc version. Its not the best size in the world but it works.

Has anyone tried the Eyecandy theme with gederom?
I know it's listed as not compatible with all ROMs but I swear I thought I had read in a thread somewhere that someone had used it w/ gederom successfully.

Is it possible for you to add some features from the SGT7 rom as a flashable mod?

For anyone who wants the source code, here it is:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/86322124/Glazed Mods 1.1.zip
It is set up to compile for android 4.0

Anyone else experience this?
After using the app and installing the inverted play store i was stuck at the boot animation, let it sit for 30 min with no luck so i had to restore a backup.
Knowing how stupid i am i went to restore a backup and i forgot that i had deleted both the rom zip and my backups from my sd card so i had to get out the ol' laptop, download the rom again and mount through twrp to install. Last part was totally my fault
But anyways im going to try to induce the same problem and see if i can pull the log to see what was going on. Shouldve done that in the first place but again Beer does impair my thinking haha!

apply at goo.im for a dev account. u get hosting, and goo manager access which kind of does what your trying to do with this. or just use it for hosting.

in my opinion to OP and you heartlessangel
Who wouldn't want a ROM like that?
BUT, who would make it?
These requests of ROMs are increasing in every section of the SGY forum, and i think it needs to STOP:highfive:
If you want a ROM then make it yourself, ROMs depend on who will make the ROM, so stop requesting ICS,CM7, etc etc,,,
Time will come for the ROM of your dreams, but for now you should wait and stop babbling about requests and what so ever:highfive::good:

chill out guys...everyone have their own right to speak their opinion. I see nothing wrong when people make a request for a certain rom. if you ever visit another forum you'll find a lot of thread like that.
btw, basicly we can't expect a sudden boots on rom performance without modifying the system directly from source. the highest performance test (via antutu) for custom rom is about 2100. its repencis. let see if OP could make higher score with his ROM.

its cool bro, its just frustrating to see ROM requests here and there, so since they badly want requests, then why dont they unify their threads and make a ROM request thread? make a poll of which rom u would like...rather than posting here and there, and sometimes they post in dev section asking for ICS, CM7 etc3...so to those aspiring for ROM requests, make a unified thread for it, will you?

personally I'll ignore these request if there's no bounty on it (lol)

1-what is the best kernel we can use ?
2-what are the most important tweaks that we should include ?
3-I'm still learning so I want some old dev in the team who wants to apply ?

remember guys this thread is just collecting info.
The ROM thread will be posted in android development section ( I hope this week )
Press thnx if you like the idea :crying:

WARNING!!! If using the Google Wallet "Fix" Do Not Use Mobile Odin!!!

For the sake of visibility, I figured I would go ahead and post this here for everybody. Wildchld did post in The Archangels "Don't Want a Brick..." sticky, but as it seems that many people don't read or keep up with the sticky threads, I thought it would be more noticeable here.
Also it appears that a lot of people may be using the Google Wallet workarounds, and potentially may be using Mobile Odin as well. This seemed important enough to post here to warn those using both of the potential to brick their device.
If you have modified your build.prop to trick Google Wallet into thinking it is on a different device...
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WITH MOBILE ODIN!!!
YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!​
So basically here's the deal...modifying these lines in the build.prop essentially fools an app such as Google Wallet into thinking it is on a different, supported device.
ro.product.device=d2tmo
ro.product.name=d2tmo
ro.product.model=SGH-T999
The values shown above are the CORRECT ones for our device. If you change them, Google Wallet is not the only app that will think it is on a different phone! This probably would not be a major concern for most apps. However, by tricking Mobile Odin into believing it is on a Nexus or something else will cause it to load the incorrect partition mapping (and maybe the wrong flash kernel). Then when you try to flash something under this setup it will flash the wrong partitions with the wrong images, resulting in a brand new brick!
Thanks to Wildchld for finding this! You can find his post about it here.
From his post, a quote from Chainfire: "Quite likely, you will brick your device so hard only a JTAG unit will be able to revive it. A service center will replace the mainboard (about half the price of a new device) to fix such a brick. I would strongly advise against making a program that writes raw partitions believe it's on a different phone than it really is."
I do not think this will be a problem for the regular PC Odin, but have not confirmed this yet.
If you want to flash with Mobile Odin, please restore your backed up copy of the build.prop before flashing! Probably would be a good idea to go into app manager and clear cache and data for Mobile Odin as well.
I believe there is a Wallet workaround that uses a hacked apk and does not require the build.prop edits to remain. You can change them back to original values after initial setup.
I do not use Wallet, so I am not sure which method is which right now.
I hope this information proves useful for some of you! Dont forget to hit the Thanks button when you check out Wildchlds post or XquiziT rom threads! I would not have known about this if not for him!
Note: This also applies to any mod that edits the build.prop in this way. Such as editing it so you can download/buy unsupported apps from the Play Store, among others.
There is nothing wrong with Mobile Odin! It is a powerful tool and functions just as it is supposed to. It is up to the user to use it in a safe way for their own purposes, and to know what they are doing with it!
Also, this is not meant to be an attack on those who have released these mods, my only intent is to caution folks so they may avoid serious and sometimes expensive problems!

Good post. Surprised to see this just being called out now. Just for the record tho, pc odin is not effected by this. And although it is dangerous and stupid to try, the partitions between the us variants are the same. So you most likely wouldnt full brick unless your build.prop was edited to reflect a whole different phone like the intl' i9300 or something. I only know this because i run tmo and vzw roms on my sprint phone without fixing the build.prop and its all good wen i use mobile odin. Even tells me that i have to unlock my bootloader cuz it thinks im using a vzw variant. none the less, Good call OP

Thanks for confirming it not being an issue with PC Odin.
I thought about mentioning the other US variants build.props not being a real problem for Mobile Odin, but decided not to in order to keep confusion to a minimum, and im not sure if Wallet will work with any of the other variants since i dont use it. Good points though. Thanks

I thought the workaround instructions tell you to revert your build prop back to the original after you modify it and gw is installed?

As mentioned, Mobile Odin is not the only apk affected by build.prop changes. Be aware that goomanager will also show incorrect rom versions if you ask for compatible roms. Rom manager may also do this, though I wouldn't know as I don't use it.

Thats probably the one i mention in the op that you can change back after initial setup.
There are at least a couple of different ways people are doing this and at least one of them im pretty sure if you go back to the original build.prop itll stop working after reboot and need the edits to be reapplied.
Even so its probably worth the quick mention anyway as other mods (including future ones) will use this to gain operation of an app on unsupported devices. This really isnt just a GS3 issue. It can affect any phone. Though Mobile Odin is primarily a Samsung based app.

Good point. Though i hope most people would abort the install when they go to install recovery or roms and it only offers choices for a different device. Im not sure what, if any, safety catch is incorporated into those so they are also worth the mention. Thanks!

I would hope so too, but there will always be that one time someone doesn't pay attention - no matter how vigilant they are otherwise. I know I've done it before, but was lucky enough to abort the whole thing before I did any damage. It's easy to do when you have multiple devices in the household.

Sounds like its only with Mobile Odin then...bcos i flash stuff all the time with CWM and nothing happens.

As long as you have the correct recovery installed CWM or TWRP are fine. Im pretty sure they have the correct partition mapping built in. If you were to somehow install a different devices recovery you would likely have the same issues. (You would get an immediate brick most likely since it would try to flash the wrong partition.)
The reason Mobile Odin is different here is because it uses those build.prop values to determine what device you have and automatically installs the appropriate flash kernel (temp recovery) for what it thinks is the device its on. It does this as soon as you run the app. As mentioned above, Goo Manager and Rom Manager do pretty much the same thing, except it will let you choose from different recoveries/roms and most people will notice that it says something other than Tmobile GS3 before going through with it. Plus usually folks install recovery right after rooting, before any mods to build.prop. so the recovery would be correct. Mobile Odin does this when you actually use it.
Hope that makes sense!

Once youve restored the original file you should be good to go. Just to be sure though check in your build.prop and if the lines i mentioned in the op match yours it ought to be fine.

Thank you for the warning!

Clearly this is a picture of an HTC Phone which we do not have have but you get the idea :silly:
Overview
This is another Chinese firmware called 'Color OS' and generally ships on Oppo devices. It is not a "slight mod" but is more of a complete ROM similar to MIUI / Lewa and it has it's own unique feel.
Bugs
There are a few of em' as this is an Alpha build, but all in all most things work. You will experience some Chinese language in Apps but I cannot do anything about that.
At this point I am inly interested in fixing system-related bugs. I cannot support Facebook (or whatever App you use) FC'ing at this time. Sorry

Well, I dont know what I did to get thru the setup screens but i did.:victory: Looks nice and smooth so far.:good:

@timmytim you've been busy! I was going to get the Find 5 until the Find 7 comes out; but I guess this gives me a chance to test drive the OS!
Thanks for all the work! I think you're one of the few people who are porting Chinese ROMs onto other devices! By the way, what's the version on this ColorOS?

Thanks for the kind words! I love Miui especially but thought thast this ROM was pretty cool. I ported (if you want to call it that) it from the SGH-i9505 for myself and @Tquetski said that I could port it to our device, which again is a simple port. Glad you like it!
1.0.7i beta is the base.

I'm about to check this out. Out of curiosity why are all the Chinese ROMs stuck on 4.2.2?

I honestly have no idea. Even weirder than that is they are currently beta testing ColorOS 2.0 which looks better and has a lot of upgrades but it runs on 4.3. I dont get it!! Skip the JB versions and go with KitKat like Miui v6 is doing.

This ROM was sweet by the way. Really elegant and bright. Trumps miui in my opinion. If we could only get it in 100% English that would be my runner

Was wondering is there a way to force it into English in ten settings like on most of our Roms you can choose the a forced language somewhere

I install super user from playstore after flash this rom but I said needed to update...then I press normal and it immediately
say fail to installed ???

Yeah it looks alright. To be honest though color os was really really nice. And did you see my ? In the miui thread about if it's possible to get lte integrated into these Chinese roms?

Did you select the ATT LTE APN from your APN list? I could swear it supported LTE but I could be wrong. To answer your question though it would be impossible to integrate it if it does not support it.
Set the APN to LTE and reboot then install Speed Test from the Playstore and what kind of up/down speeds you get. The icon in the status bar will not say LTE. I believe that is what the H+ is.
You could always set it manually like this too if it isnt set after choosing that APN:
Go To Dialer - put in *#*#4636#*#*
Go To Phone info
Set Preferred Network to: LTE/GSM auto (PRL)

Just uploaded version 2 Alpha......
I took out that Chinese dialog popup box and removed the ColorOS Chinese setup and keyboard. I added Gapps and SuperSU
You will still some force closes during Google setup and also when typing in the native SMS App. I'm still debugging.
Have fun!

I flashed v2 and liked what I saw--good job Tim--
Only issue was I couldn't get root with Titanium. I didn't check thru other apps to confirm root. So, not sure it wasn't TB. Will retry maybe tomorrow or wait for next version. Didn't test too long tonite, but Gmail setup ok and Wifi/Data fine--
Clean install
