Update: to enable bluetooth pairing do this in a terminal
$ su
# chown 1002.1002 /data/misc/bluetoothd
Now not only blueooth pairing starts working again but bluetooth music works too
I've pushed my VaniljFroyo modfications into dzo's repo so there is no VaniljFroyo anymore.
The official thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710105
The latest build can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
Instructions
1. Get the latest build.
2. Rename it to androidinstall.tgz and place it in the andboot folder.
3. Install system.
4. Boot the system.
To gain an extra 11Mb of RAM on Kaiser or Polaris, get the kernels I've posted here: Get the kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7079594&postcount=299
Vogue users can get this with the latest official kernel from dzo (2010-07-06)
-----------------------------------
Old stuff below
This is basicly dzo's latest Fresh Froyo release with some minor adjustments.
With latest I mean the latest version available as I write this which is this version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/system-froyo-01-07-10_18.tgz/download
Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-07-02/VaniljFroyo_RLS2.zip/download
RLS2
- Market now works (Thanks mssmison and Incubus)
- Slight QVGA adjustments to the drawer phone keypad.
- Added google maps framework (needed by apps that uses maps)
- Added Facebook and Twitter from FRF85b just because there was room left
- Removed nonworking MagicSmoke live wallpaper
RLS1
- Wifi support
- QVGA adjusted bootanimation, backgrounds, DeskClock app and Music app.
- Added bash
- Added a bunch of nice scripts that I made for VaniljEclair.
- Added compcache support.
Get a terminal from Market, then use the following scripts (always do an su first):
enable_compcache.sh - Enable compcache (use the command free before and after to see the difference)
disable_compcache.sh - Guess what it does?
wifi_level.sh low|medium|high|extreme (medium is the default, low does not work for me)
default_network.sh
hsxpa.sh
gprsclass.sh
lcd_density.sh
But you propably won't need to change anything but I recommend trying with and without compcache. It propably helps a bit.
Oh, and the odex.sh script is included and can be enabled from userinit.sh, just like with VaniljEclair RLS7 it takes care of upgrades and uninstalls on the next restart of the phone. Not sure really how it affects performance but since odexing the system apps gives a noticable boost it can't hurt.
Don't expect everything to work flawlessly and have fun!
You may want to try another Launcher like the very nice Launcher Pro that is available for free from the Market.
If cyanogen says this about running Launcher2 (which is what we have in Froyo) on HTC Dream/Sapphire(magic)
* Launcher2 (too clunky for these devices)

I am so glad you have a kaiser...
Thank you.
Haha, I just update to release 7c of VaniljEclair and you tease me with this....
Just to clarify, when installing or updating new apps, we have to run odex script?

And so now I am running this and so far, no real problems. Make and recieve calls, phone syncs contacts, camera works reasonably well. Sometimes I am getting lines when snapping pic, but actual pic is fine with no lines. Only camera issue is trying to adjust zoom gives a FC.
Looking at apps now to see whats available. So far :2 thumbs up:
EDIT: Installed Astro to try and install some backed up apps thru Astros's backup function. Checking off the app I want to install and hit "install" button; Message says nothing is checked to install. Was able to navigate to backup folder directly and install app (Battery Widget.) Hitting OK caused Astro to go blackscreen. I'm thinking this is an Astro issue, not Froyo.
Wait.... hang on, I mean already? Dammit I told you I was gonna have to tie you to a chair if you made any major updates......
Aaaarghhhhh
Lol, I really want to try this now, but I already decided I was gonna do some gps stuff this weekend.......
What the heck, I can always use my old diamond if I really get stuck for a phone, Downloading now, ( and how do you find time to keep up with all this?).
nice i will peep some stuff out
what works and what doesn`t
can somebody share what works in this build and what are the major bugs `cause i installed vaniljeclair just an hour ago having some battery issues but thi is android after all and it rocks ... keep up the good work dude

I was able to get the normal English keyboard by disabling the "Japanese IME" in Language and Keyboard settings. Not completely sure about stability yet but it seems to be working as expected now.
is this using jit?
looks very nice but can it run app2sd
I don't know I'm legally blond
GPRS
Great work kallt_kaffe! Fast and stable build! I hope there shall be a fix for the market .
On first boot, there is no usual setup wizard, and I like that way, but somehow my phone wont connect to GPRS, I have no data connection. Phone is working. Seemingly it recognised my Network APN settings, but still, there is no connection. Can someone help me, please?
incubus has posted a market fix for his froyo thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712310
I am sure it should work for this build as well as they are both based from dzo.
Great work Kallt . OS with newest NBH from dzo works f**kin awesome fast in comare to Eclair. But Still same issue like in Eclair RLS7b/c with bonus. On RLS7b/c I cannot call only on GSM, on FroYo cannot call on GSM/UMTS (on PolyMod 2.1d/g all works fine )
Thanks again for Your hard work
here is a few of my findings so far...
betterterminal FCs
getprop fix from vaniljeclair doesn't fix it.
wifi is not connecting...(probably need to run script but having trouble without a terminal)
would like to see contacts and dialer that is used in eclair version.
other than that it looks very prommising....
for now I will keep vaniljeclair in nand and try to play with froyo on partitions.
Installed now, plus Incubus Market fix, which required a fresh install, since I merged the update with the installer tarball, it does find more apps, but is still not quite finding all my previous favourites, ( how can I survive without Facebook, or tapatalk?).
It is faster, or feels faster at any rate, looks nicer too, settings is less cluttered, and easier to navigate, I will have to give it my usual road test, but so far it looks like a winner
Hi everybody, I have been closely following the ICED GLACIER ROM development thread since it was started. I know there is a consistently growing number of people who have just purchased their myTouch 4G phone (android noobs and vets). The ICED GLACIER ROM thread is getting really large, and I am sure the thought of reading through 1,600+ posts can potentially be a little overwhelming and very time consuming. I know everyone is really excited to try that AWESOME ROM, but I also see in the thread that everyone wants to know what works, what doesn't, how to fix this, etc... I'm hoping that people with questions about this ROM can look here for an answer before asking questions in the other thread that have already been answered along the way (sometimes many times). I hope this will help the devs too- if we can provide info and answer questions about everything that has already been answered in the other thread then we can get rid of repeat posts of questions and problems that are cluttering up the other thread- meaning it'll hopefully be really easy to narrow down current hiccups or problems people are experiencing. If anyone can contribute to this thread, it would be greatly appreciated!
*Flashing- When I first flashed this ROM, Iced Glacier was at 1.0, first I flashed V0.5, then V1.0. With V1.1, you no longer need to flash V0.5 or any other version first- you can go from stock rooted to V1.1 (make sure to make a nandroid backup first!!!). If you are not sure how to flash this ROM, or how to root your phone- you WILL find answers by reading through some of the other threads in this section. *It looks like a few people have had problems when/ after flashing this ROM due to not completely wiping the phone in different versions of this ROM- you might want to do a complete wipe just to be thorough (I'm no expert, it's just a suggestion to hopefully save you any headaches down the road)
*Overclocking- Make sure to install/ purchase SetCPU, so you can tweak the processor speeds. If you are not sure what SetCPU is, or how to use it- do some studying first. It has been noted that each of our phones responds differently with the different speed settings- I have noticed, that when I have my phone set too high it freezes (particularly while I'm surfing using Dolphin HD), and I have also noticed that I get better performance (and Quadrant results) when my max speed is set at 1440 mhz as opposed to 1382 or 1497mhz. Again, every phone will respond different. Play with the different speeds and see what works best for your phone- everyone can make recommendations (i.e. lower clock speeds with the screen off, battery low, or temp too high), but in the end you have to find what works best for you. I would recommend that you use the 'on demand' option instead of 'performance' to avoid having your phone constantly working at the highest set clock speed though, and don't forget to set different profiles (i.e. screen off, temp too high, battery low...). Remeber, this will affect your battery life, along with a million other variables related to your phone, so make note of before and after results to find a good balance between speed/performance and battery longevity to your liking.
*Apps and Data before flashing the ROM- install 'Titanium Backup' (I recommend purchase as well to support the creator) and batch 'backup all of your apps and data' (run the batch 'verify backup' afterwords to make sure you have a good backup to restore after installing this ROM). I had problems with my backups, so after I flashed V1.0 every time I tried to batch 'restore all apps and data' my phone would reboot, in the end I went through my backup and individually restored data (and app if it was missing) for all of my apps- time consuming, I know, but it was worth it to have this ROM (note: I was using the free version of TB- I now have purchased the app, but haven't had to use it yet for a full batch 'restore').
*Once you have installed the ROM- open 'rom manager' and execute 'fix permissions'. Do this first, as it will likely fix force closes or the 'instant close upon starting the app' that sometimes happens, before you experience them. After running 'fix permissions'- power down, pull your battery for a couple minutes, and then restart your phone (I suggest this, because I had an 'instant close' problem with wi-fi calling and power down + pull battery fixed it for me). You will also want to check to make sure your wi-fi is functional-if not Gr8gorilla has a fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9328350&postcount=1
*Test a flash website on your browser- if it does not work, you likely have to install flash from the market. If it does work- you should be good.
*Bluetooth- If you use bluetooth for calls, it should work fine (I use bluetooth for making calls and have had no problems with V1.0 or V1.11). However, if you use bluetooth for stereo music (A2DP) I understand that it does work with V1.0, but not on V1.11. I have noticed that when I have bluetooth turned on and try to dial a number on the stock dialer- it is very very sluggish to dial the numbers (ex. I press a 5 on the dial pad and wait about 2-3 seconds for the number to light up, sound the DTMF tone, and provide the haptic feedback). I have since switched over to using the 'atakephone' app and have had 0 problems. ***The devs are aware of the bluetooth issue, and plan to include a fix in the next update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9684992&postcount=1577 *EDIT*- bluetooth fixed in ROM V1.1.2
*Genius/ Handsfree- there have been issues with this not functioning properly or not at all. Again, this will be fixed in the next update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9684317&postcount=1573 *EDIT* Fixed in the V1.1.2 update!
*YouTube app- I would say it's not usable- it starts 'turbo scrolling' when I use it- it will sometimes stop if you hold your finger on the screen, but revert back when you take your finger off. This ROM is based off of the original MT4G kernel and I think I read somewhere that the version of this youtube app associated with the original kernel had this bug. Goolge released a new version of the youtube app yesterday (12-8-10)- since I installed that update, I no longer have problems in the app. *EDIT* See *RECAP- KNOWN ISSUES below.
*MMS- looks like some are having problems sending and recieving MMS messages- it might be a problem with the phone rather than this ROM (I am getting a replacement because my phone has that problem). Depending on who you talk to at Tmo customer service, they will confirm it as a known issue with the 4G. Make sure to do atleast a handful of tests sending and recieving with your phone before and after flashing. *EDIT*- some people (myself included) noticed that when using the stock messages app, contacts pictures don't display- looks like there are 2 fixes, 1 being a FULL wipe and fresh install of the ROM or 2- clearing cerain contacts cache settings as Notxel21 posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9706457&postcount=1653
*Bloatware- this ROM has the original bloatware apps removed. The Monopoly demo, demo video, Rock Band Demo, etc. are gone (as well as some other stuff that I forgot to mention- which is proof that it wasn't needed in the ROM anyway ).*** A 'spare parts' app was added for tweaking window animations and viewing battery stats. A 'dsp settings' app was also added to allow equalizer settings for the phones earpiece, external speaker, and the 3.5mm headphone port (really sweet btw!). I had to reinstall 'superuser', 'rom manager', and titanium backup from the market after flashing. The market still works for me after flash without any glitches fwiw.
***Updates- they will come when they come, theres no need to ask about it every day or so. The easiest way to check for yourself is to open the Iced Glacier ROM thread and look at the changelog in post #2- the devs have been faithful to update that post whenever they release a new version. (You can also look through the first post, but the second is cleaner as they put the newest changelog right at the top of the post) *EDIT*- Version 1.1.2 released
*RECAP- KNOWN ISSUES-- Youtube- no worky until you update in the market *EDIT* some are having problems with the youtube app in the 1.1.2 version- looks like it works fine until you use the app in landscape and try to return to portrait- the display returns to portrait, but stays stretched out for widescreen.
*Themed vs. Unthemed- I tried themed first in V1.0- I switched to unthemed and currently use V1.11 unthemed. I only used the V1.0 themed version for about 15 minutes, so I can't really provide any info on it aside from intense screen transition effects and alot of blue/black icons. V1.0 unthemed appears just like stock (if you don't like the HTC sense, you can use launcher pro, ADW or a list of other homescreen replacements). V1.11 Unthemed looks just like stock, but the drop down notification bar is transparent, and the icons at the top are colored with a circle battery meter that shows the battery % in the middle (very cool). There are other notification icon options available in the themes and apps section of this MT4G forum if you want to try something different, but I think you will lose the transparent drop down if you flash a different bar.
*There are also some other issues that seem to be random- someone is having problems with wifi not working at all, someone having problems with the 'media room' app, etc... to my knowledge there is currently no resolve for these problems.
Hope this helps! If anyone has anything to contribute, please let me know, and I will try to update this OP, so all the help stays in one common place.

Hey, thanks alot, that goes a long way! Since IG has been updated I will continue to keep an eye on it and update this thread accordingly. I plan to work on that tonight.
No Bugs in Mine
I have noticed none of the above mentioned bugs you claim. Youtube works fine, and so does Genius button. According to information I have gotten from others on IRC, the only bug is BT stereo, which I do not care about to be honest. I recommend the non-themed version.

Your fortunate. Not everyone has experienced all of these bugs, I'm just posting what I have read about in the IG ROM thread as well as what I have experienced. As far as the non-themed version, it's my fav. Just got my replacement phone and looking forward to flashing IG 1.1.2, but first I'm gonna play catchup in that thread to see if I need to update this one yet.

Duplicate Ringtones and Notifications
I am not sure what happened but all of a sudden I see two of each ringtone and notification. They seem to work properly but not sure why they are showing up twice. I added a few new ones to /system/media/audio by hand. Wondering if this has been tested by anyone else. I do not have any in /sdcard since I thought that could be problematic.
=====================
Update: I fixed this issue by creating directories on /sdcard/media/audio as follows but empty folders:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Also according to Zinx: Any folders on the /sdcard named notifications or ringtones will be found regardless of subdirectories...thus I think that may have been the entire issue I was seeing.
Everything looks about right

I'm glad you were able to fix it! I had that same problem shortly after I got my phone, but it was with alot of my pictures as well. I ended up searching my sdcard from my computer for *.mp3 and *.jp to find all of the duplicates.

Was that through Clockwork- when you choose the reboot option after flashing? When you power down, do you have to pull your batt before you can restart your phone again? I know that the first time I flash a zip through clockwork, when I select reboot- there is a longer delay than if I were to execute that command without flashing any .zips.
Nice thread, should really help. I really wish someone had a list of the bloatware that was removed from it though, I used more of it than I didn't. There might be something removed that I might need someday.
9-2-12: I should be wrapping up today, as I'm going away for a few days as well. For the most part I'm pretty happy with the build, but there's still a few loose ends that I won't be able to fully finish. But then I don't think I could ever be 100% satisfied with a build, nature of perfectionists. Anyways, stay tuned, I'm outtie 8pm tonight. So one way or another something WILL be posted by then.
General Warning: I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. I'm providing these ROM's on an "as is basis". There is no warranty implied or otherwise. But know that I would never release a ROM without first testing it on my own device.
( Please take a minute to browse through the "Troubleshooting tips / General Q&A" section below before voicing a concern or inquiring about features. )
What's included you ask? My builds are all based on nightly builds, but with that I've also included the following:
I've included a fully customized HoloLauncher to match the overall theme of my ROM. Note regarding Hololauncher.... if after updating you want my icons and not the default hololauncher icons, under "Launcher Settings" choose "Appearance Settings", under icon pack, select "None"... And yes the Trebuchet launcher is still there, but I've left it as a fall back in the event of catastrophe. There's nothing worse than a failed update breaking your launcher and locking you out of your phone.
The V6 Supercharger is always available as a system installed service on my ROM. Simply run su, then v6 in terminal emulator to get every ounce of zoom outta yur device... more notes below...
Don't go flashing a gapps package over one of my ROM's. I've already included a majority of the gapps package, and doing so breaks a few of the tweaks and mods I've built into the ROM.
Ever wonder why you need to see 4, 6, or more of the same widget. Well, you don't! Thanks to a modded "AppWidgetPicker" similar to the pictures here... Now you'll only see one of each of our widgets.... :laugh: Doesn't work with the Trebuchet launcher, but will with most other launchers.
I've included a YouTube player capable of 720p playback...
On top of the standard Apollo player, I've also included Google Play. Both of these apps are also fully capable of utilizing the integrated Beats Audio.
Car home is one of my favorite apps, and is included.
I've added an "Accurate" battery mod.
I've included a Taskmanager capable of dumping unused RAM.
Solid Explorer is included. Its free, Root capable, and is downright beautiful.
Jelly Bean fonts...
Added a clock package that leaves little to be desired. ie. timers, stopwatch, etc...
Added automatic cache flushing to my update script. No more need to flush your cache following your flash. There's also some other bits in there to check partitions, and if need be, repair them.
Added automatic permissions corrections following update.
Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio is flashed during install.
I've included a Modified version of AwesomeBeats, originally by ...Awesome... ( Themed the apk with the original DSP icon )
Most of the gapps-ics-20120429-signed package has been installed, modded of course.
I've added my huge audio collection, tons of ringtones....
Added a custom hosts file that blocks everything....
I've themed just about every app, as well as the framework... ( Tastefully done, I think... )
I've also integrated some of the V6 mods, and I've also pre-modded the services.jar. The following commands are available right out of the box, flush, sclean, and V6. To use simply open Terminal Emulator, type su and hit enter, then type V6 and hit enter. Your off and running.
The latest modded Google market, has also been included. ( I only added a themed icon, the mod was done in the thread I've linked )
Modified Phone Dial Pad.... Because I'm Tired of big ugly ass blue keys...
My Torch app...
I'm sure I'm forgetting other edits I've made, but those are the most notable.
This file has been signed, and is flashable via the recovery of your choosing. If you're coming from a nightly build, you should be able to flash this over your existing ROM without error. That being the case, be sure to wipe Cache and Dalvik. But to guarantee a smooth running system I would recommend a factory reset, manually clearing your cache & dalvik, plus wiping sd-ext. note.... In my latest builds, as of 7/24, this is all done for you....
What should you do first? To get every little bit of performance and zoom out of your device, I'd suggest first opening Terminal Emulator, type in su (that's the letter s and the letter u ) then hit the enter key. Next type in v6 ( that's the letter v and the number 6 ), and again hit enter. Follow the prompts, and after all the automatic commands have run, type in 33 and hit enter. Once your back to a # promt, type in sclean and hit enter. This will dump your cache and restart your device. Lastly open RomManager, and run "Fix Permissions". Enjoy your speedy new ROM....
Another v6 command you should use is... "flush". If your device slows after a few days and you don't want to reboot, simply open terminal, type su, hit enter, then type flush, hit enter. When complete close terminal by clicking the x in the upper right, and that's it....
Check out my Torch mod, now in flashable form... =)
If you've got any questions or comments, let me know. And if you like my work, hit the thanks button.

Troubleshooting tips / General Q&A:
What's the deal with the Long Pause after the Samsung boot logo? There's no loading bar animation visible during boot. Its normally seen after the Samsung Boot Logo, and before the Bootanimation. For whatever reason, in the nightly builds, that loading bar has been left out. It causes no problems or errors. In fact everything loads so quickly I don't even think most people have noticed the missing animation.
Superuser Problems: If for any reason you have su errors, or Superuser.apk problems, please refer to my su tools thread. And when in doubt, there's absolutely nothing wrong with using the older Superuser 3.0.7 app, in fact I'd recommend it as the fail-safe option. "Build 6-9-12". Flash via the recovery of your choosing. ( The Superuser app has since been updated in the market. )
Buggy App's / FC issues / General Random Goofyness: If you didn't do a factory wipe / full wipe, and your phones running anything but smoothly, you need to reflash your ROM, and this time use the following procedure. Reboot into recovery,
Notes regarding DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE / DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE: Speaking from my own experience, these are two fantastic tools. They do their jobs well, and should definitely be used by those who would consider themselves "frequent flashers". BUT... be forewarned... If you use these tools as your "sole and primary means of system cleanup" you will experience boot errors!! What's that mean? Should I stop using DARKSIDES's tools? The short answer... No. But you should get into the habit of wiping your Cache and Dalvik following ANY and ALL system maintenance. Relying on the tools for this crucial step greatly increases your chances of experiencing bootloops and general no-boot conditions. I'm not sure if it relates to the manner in which partitions are wiped, or maybe the disk alignment procedure. But in my experience, not clearing my cache following the use of these tools leads to greater occurrences of boot failure.
Touchscreen Unresponsive: There's a known bug in CM9 where your touch screen may stop responding and prevent you from unlocking. If you come across this problem, press your palm to the screen and slide it around. In my own experience, this issue seems to arise only once or twice per ROM flash.
I want toggles... Why no flashlight toggle: This question, in one form or another, has been asked way to many times now. I don't know if people are afraid their going to break something by looking around, changing settings, or who knows what. So I'm going to give you a few must see features, you may or may not know of.
Features you may or may not know of:
By popular demand, Toggles: In your settings, under the heading "Interface" Select "System", then "Notification drawer", then "Widget Buttons". I always use the same five toggles. I don't like scrolling toggles, and my needs are pretty basic. My Toggles of choice are, Brightness, GPS, LED Flashlight, Orientation, and Wi-Fi. Then on that same page, at the bottom of the list are modes. Brightness I choose all, Network I choose the third option, Screen time outs I like long, sound I choose all, and Flash I choose normal. Then hit the back key once, and the last item on the page should be "Widget Button Order. In my case, I slide LED to the top and I'm set.
Capacitive Back Light Keys: I've never been a fan of the capacitive lights. There too bright, I already know where those keys are, they seem wasteful, they're always flashing in the middle of game play, and on and on. In the past enabling / disabling BLN required another app or a hack, in CM9 you'll find its editable via settings. In settings under the heading "Device" select "Advanced", then select the tab "Sensors". Here you'll find your devices system-wide BLN settings. I unselect both.
MTP vs. Mass_Storage: Both modes have there advantages and disadvantages, but at least now you get to choose and not your dev. In settings, under the heading "Device" select "Storage". On that very first page, using your phones touch keys, click the menu button ( the left most capacitive touch key ). This brings up two options, the first is "USB Computer Connection". This is where you can choose between three option, MTP, PTP, and Mass Storage. I find myself going between MTP and USB Storage. Only drawback is that MTP doesn't see files sometimes. And for those of you that are wondering about the "Storage Configuration" link, and subsequent "Use Internal Storage". Its probably not what you think. It actually swaps your Int and Ext storage, completely. Great as a fix-it tool, but if your running my ROM, your better off leaving this as is.
Awesome Beats vs. MusicFX: In settings, under the heading "Device" select "Sound". Select "Music Effects, and then choose whether to use MusiFX or Awesome Beats (aka. DSP Manager).
Notifications Bar to Settings in a Tap: Pull down your notification bar, just to the right of the date is a little icon, tap it for easy access to your settings menu. I use this pretty frequently as a shortcut when joining wireless networks.
Noise Suppression: Press the phone icon, with your dial-pad on screen, hit your menu button.
Look for the option "Noise suppression", put a check in the box.
To test you call quality, use "The Telcom Toolkit"..... Option 4 to record your call + playback....
Try it with suppression checked, and without. Pretty big difference. I'll be setting this option as default in my next ROM.
There's loads more I'm not mentioning. But what you should really do is go through your settings yourself, one by one. In fact, you'll even be killing two birds with one stone at that point. You'll learn your way around your device, and you'll be able to optimize your phone to your own choosing.​Have fun, and happy flashing..... :good:

There's the standard "Power Bar", available in all CM9 builds, if that's what you're referring too. I prefer the widget buttons on the notification bar to anything else.My 5 must haves, Flashlight, Wi-Fi, GPS, Brightness, and Orientation. Other than that, the screenies are how I run, minimal and clean.
This is was upp downloading now ill report back thnx bro!

Yup. No different than any other CM ROM. ...
You made me think of something though... If your not familiar with the most recent nighlies, there's one thing that might throw folks. There's no loading bar visible while the boot image loads. ie.. Typically you see, Samsung logo.... Then blue left to right loading bar... Then Bootani.... In these builds that left to right blue loading bar has been left out....
Not a problem, just wait through the blackness, don't start pushing buttons in a panic...

Capacitive touch key's are 100% functional in these builds, ie. system integrated and working properly. Go through system settings, you'll find Back Light Notifications under "Advanced", and under the tab "Sensors".

In the OP it says the UVLE1 radio is flashed during install. If I want to use the TLLE Telus radio can I flash it after the ROM is flashed instead of before? Thanks.
Running good so far, haven't came across any problems yet but omg, why so many launchers -_- where can I get a review or something so I can pick a launcher and stick to it lmao will Apex Launcher run as smoothly as the other 3?

Of course. If it were me, I'd wait until after a full boot, plus a little time to settle, then flash a new radio.

In my book its always nice to have a few choices, NovaLauncher is new to me, I added that for my own testing. Trebuchet, I've never really liked. And I almosted added HoloLauncher too, (( If you haven't tried HoloLauncher yet, its available via the Market. Definitely worthwhile... ))
I'll only have one or two in my next build. I'd love to revive LauncherPro. Best launcher ever in my book!
Can I get just the custom host file? And where to put it?

This is completely AOSP with Verizon bins, and root/busybox. It's ALMOST completely functional. Check the Current Bugs section to see the two insignificant ones that are left.
READ THIS FIRST: Upon first boot (after factory reset), everything on your sdcard is moved into a new folder named "0", don't freak out. This has to do with the new multi-user functionality, and this is how it will stay. If you're wondering about the problem of nested folders being created every time you wipe data/cache, and recoveries not being able to see your backups, this has been solved with the latest recoveries. It's NECESSARY that you update to the latest CWM (6.0.1.5+) or TWRP to prevent this from happening every time you wipe data/cache (do a factory reset). Update CWM through ROM Manager, TWRP through Goo Manager or flash it through fastboot. The downloads are below.

Love this ROM! The only thing that doesn't work for me is accessing Google Now from the home screen search bar. The actual app works fine but when I press it on my search bar on my home screen it is just a dead spot. Weird thing is that the mic works fine when pressed, it is just the word "Google" that is busted? Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT: I realized that it is an issue with Apex launcher not the ROM.
Nice to see you here Grouper! Good job on your Rom. I guess I can now actually hit the thanks button unlike Rootzwiki like button.

Hey I noticed you have the T-CDMA64 thing for the pulldown text. The eri.xml is missing in the overlay, It belongs in /device/samsung/toro/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/eri.xml. If you put that in your source it'll report VERIZON WIRELESS every time.
EDIT: Attached the one I use in case you need it.
EDIT2: I had to zip it to get the forum to take it

Testing out now, so far so good.
This looks like a very nice rom, I have downloaded it and now in the process of restoring my apps. So far so good, I am pleased with this ROM. I tried another ROM the other day and it was horrible, my data speeds were very slow, radio seemed almost like it was dead.
This rom is quick
it is very plain, which is what I like
Tether/hotspot working as designed
Fast
I love it. Thank you.
I will report more as I go along with it.
I loaded this up this morning, been running on it all day without any issues - everything I've tried works. Nicely done.
yes i've been running this since this morning to i'm getting exchange fcs but other then that its pretty nice
So far so good for me. I'd actually say scrolling is improved and more smooth. Anyone able to recommend a 4.2 kernel?

What exactly does the "READ THIS FIRST" affect? I apologize if the answer is obvious, but I guess I'm not sure what it means. For example, I have a bunch of Spotify songs downloaded offline. Does that mean when I do that again, I'll be taking up double the SD card space?

So far, this ROM is good, thanks for it! Been using it for almost a day now. No FCs and battery life has seem to be pretty nice too.
Ok, onto my problem. Since 4.2 renames my SD... I am unable to restore my backup via CWM. Any suggestions?
Appreciate the help!
Upon each data wipe the contents of the sdcard are moved into a new folder named "0," even if that folder already exists. There will be an update to your recovery (there is already a commit for CWM) to solve this problem. To be running 4.2, I would leave everything in the "0" folder. If you're worried about an app being able to see backups, there is also already a fix for ROM Manager if you've updated to the latest version.

ROM Overhaul ......
Ok so I noticed that most of the ROMs that I have used here including my own has been recreating the wheel so I have decided to go back to my roots and make pure AOSP with only the "fixes" found here and from AOSP so my ROM has become "clean" and basically stripped of its samplings from other developers written code to pursue my own originality so if you want just a basic AOSP ROM here is where you can come.
flavor of the day:

Happy Holidays to All!!!
Running your latest build and its really smooth. I'm hoping the WiFi not reconnecting after tablet sleep bug is not present but it did take a while for it to reconnect.
Running the latest version, it resets every once in a while. Doesn't seem to be tied to any particular app or activity.
Thanks I will look into that at the moment I am in the process of updating and fixing some of the bugs I've found
Ok as an update my ubuntu partition crashed on me and I lost most of everything so I'm back to square one again ..... but I have decided to take a different path .... I see that no one has maintained a completely vanilla rom, by vanilla I mean no features, no google, just Open Source Android, so this is what I will be offering from here on out .... vanilla android with my own fixes and coding (the little that I know how to do) and I'm going open source also I have received some pm's about adding devices to my rom ... and the only devices I have are the spcs gnex and the N10 these are the only devices I will maintain for since I can't possibly troubleshoot for a device I dont have .... so for anybody that was using my rom thanks and maybe I can catch you on the vanilla side (you know after you get bored with your full featured CyOKPAMuzEOS beast roms lol)
alright I'm completely vanilla now, ROM posted in the OP also I may have corrected that wifi disconnect issue haven't had a problem with wifi sleep or random resets on my n10 so hopefully you won't either

Flashed this build last evening, gesture typing doesn't seem to be working. I've tried clearing the keyboard cache/force stopping it with no luck. I even tried force stopping android system - just cause. Everything else seems rock solid.
after I uploaded the roms I realized that I enabled gesture typing but did not fix the driver .... as a temporary fix you can delete libjni_latinime.so and rename libjni_latinimegoogle.so to libjni_latinime.so it will will be addressed in the next upload

No satellites are in view and no signal is received from them. I've rebooted a couple of times and it still doesn't work. When I flash other ROMS the GPS works again. I really like your ROM and would prefer to run it. I've checked with GPS test plus and GPS essentials and get the same result.
Is there a log or some tool I could use to get you more information?
