[Q] Release my ROM? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So to make myself clear, I did NOT create this ROM, I just did a few things to make it "better" for battery life, speed, and performance.
I took CM9 Beta1 and did my average rom tweak, but I did one thing that is rather risky and since I do not have a this phone anymore I can not test it.
So what my question is, should I release my tweaked CM9 to the public once I am certain it will run?
If a dev would be so kind and test it for me, and actually make it work I would appreciate it.
I did everything to this rom on Windows 7, so if you do want to be the one to make this awesomeness work you will probably have to change the build.prop and update-script. Nothing else should be effected to my knowledge. But you should probably make a little check list and verify that everything is fine.
It is a very simple question that can have 2 of 4 answers:
Yes
No
Yes, I will fix this rom up!
No, do it yourself you lethargic bum!!!
I will continue updating it whenever a new CM9 for this phone comes out.
I will answer this thread in the morning because it is a school night and I need rest, thank you for your time and effort.

Aslong as u give credit I don't see why not!

Is it against the rules? No, as long as you give proper credit, and as long as its not very small edits like just adding extra apps or something.
Do I recommend it? No. I don't think its a good idea. It will only aid in confusion when troubleshooting.
However, feel free to share the tweaks you made to it in this thread,
Is it
~ E.R.A.

It is not against the rules but it is highly not recommended. If you do not put up the source code for the rom, people will be mad. If it is just CM with some init.d scripts, you can just make a flashable to install the tweaks and not the whole rom...

Thanks! Most of them are within scripts, but I have no clue on how to make it flash able through CWM. If you could tell me how, or send me a PM with instructions I'd appreciate it. I googled my heart out and couldn't figure it out for Windows 7.

[ROM] FKTweaked v0.4- New look with lots of tweaks #NEW#[FKTurbo0.2b]

# I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone
# Please keep in mind that many of these roms have ideas from other developers, so you will see some of the same tweaks. This is a learning process
# for me. I intend to keep learning with your constructive criticism. If you think I stole something from you, please pm me and I will either remove it or

# let me know.
This is a stock looking Rom with lots of tweaks. It runs smoothly. I would use it with Go Launcher. I have tested it with Synergy kernel and recommend it. This Rom comes with a new feature that is not completely ready. You can run it in terminal:
Code:
su
cd /etc/init.d
sh start.sh
sh fkturbo1.sh
This is not a completed rom but all the bugs I found have to do with the added scripts. All of the tweaks should work. Others will be added when I have time. I was hoping to get more done, but I started out in Notepad. It took me a day to remember that's why the script doesn't work. I hate Win 7. lol
Also, themes will be included when it is out of beta.
#NEW# FKTurbo v.2b
This feature allows you have a turbo in your phone. The higher the frequency goes, the faster and more powerful it will be. When completed, this will increase multiple settings towards performance when your phone is used heavily. It will automatically set them back to save power. It will be improved to remove all bugs and errors and work seamlessly with your phone. It is in beta, so I know there are some bugs that will be fixed. It will not activate on boot until it runs perfectly. I will add code to make it activate in a much smoother way in the next release.
Advantages:
-Easily switch to max power when you absolutely need it, automatically.
-Easily switch to power saver mode when you need good battery life, automatically.
-Go longer between charging by using extra power only when you need it.
-No more adjusting multiple settings to go from max power to max saver.
More new features as soon as this gets running right!
GB.6.tweak v.1b (Removed due to problems.)
fktweakedv0.2b (name changed)
fktweakedv0.4:
All features listed below.
Lightly themed.
Improved fkturbo.
Base on Mr.X's CIQ free 2.3.6
In the rom:
CIQ free 2.3.6
WiFi Calling
Deodexed and Zipaligned
SU
BusyBox
Init.d support
Kernel tweaks
VM tweaks
Data tweaks
Scrolling responsiveness tweak
Zipalign at boot
launcher in memory
UI with GPU
Delvik increased to 64mb
Wifi interval increased and other tweaks for better battery life
JPEG quality at 100%
Defrag database at boot
Touchscreen sensitivity increase
deadline scheduler tweaks
Sdcard cache increased
Lots of other tweaks
Team Kang's Toggle Buttons
Loopy smoothness
#NEW#FKTurbo#NEW# *
*not completed
Installation with CWM:
1. Download the Rom and your favorite kernel. (Synergy,Bullet,Faux,Darkside) (fkturbo works in synergy, but I haven't checked others yet)
2. Boot into recovery. (Hold Volume Up/Down and power on)
3. Install the Rom first and then the kernel.
4. Reboot and allow it a few minutes on the first boot, then reboot. *No boot animation means that it will go blank for a long time at first boot.
Link to the ROM (4shared):

Looks great. I love the MIUI battery gauge. I'll give it a try after v-day.
Thanks Buddy
Looks Nice! Ill report after I flash Thanks man!

It has a stock kernel, but it will have other available kernels very soon. I plan to update this with the current version I'm running by this weekend. You can use any modified stock kernel. Not AOSP kernels.

It is a very rough estimate of all the stuff that's in it. Data speed tweaks can potentially increase speed on networks. Scrolling tweaks makes scrolling smoother. Look in /etc/init.d/new2 or /system/build.prop for many of the tweaks. This is the old version, so the new one will have more stuff and a better explanation. Not all the tweaks are listed. There are many more to come!
Im doing this at work, so I don't have the time right now to list everything properly.

The rest of the rom is working. It is version .4. I am still trying to perfect the code the new feature. I have lots of tests coming up (Bio, Chem, etc.), but I will try to get it perfected by the end of this week. This code is just a teaser that may have bugs in it. It will be updated. Thank you for your patience. Feel free to try it, but keep in mind that it may not work right just yet. If it messes up something, just run fkpower1.sh or powersaver.sh. fkpower1.sh is the better choice.
Code:

Good question!
This feature, which still needs some polishing, will allow you to save power when you are not using the phone heavily. It does this by modding the governor settings, which need some tweaking, and the voltage settings, which are being tested today.
When it senses that you are using the phone heavily, it will automatically increase the settings towards performance. As soon as the phone is no longer used heavily, it will automatically change all the settings to favor battery life.
This allows for a perfect balance between the power savings of undervolting, underclocking, and stiffening up the governor and the performance benefits of overclocking, etc.
This eliminates the need to decide between the full power of the phone and the ability to use the phone for longer between charging.
By the end of this week, I will have the settings tested (to make the power change smooth) and more steps between full power and full economy will be added. More settings will be adjusted by fkturbo by the end of the week. It may also be made more universal, but that will take longer than this weekend.
It is being updated to v0.5 for the rom and v0.3 for the feature.

[ROM][GSM][JB 4.1.1] Monster AOSP [Beta][DeOdexed]

Hello everyone,
This is a pure-AOSP ROM with very little CM-style modifications. These modifications are designed to address all Galaxy Nexus users.

@OP: Thanks for the ROM. Nice to see new developers on the scene, best of luck! Ignore these people who are causing negativity, looking forward to what you bring to the scene.
But generally speaking.. people need to stop going into dev's threads and bashing their ROM which is obviously a thing they do as a hobby and doesn't charge their users. Bashing someone's ROM when you haven't even tried it causes ROM developers to not make ROMs.

thanks for your rom. pls provide screenshoots...thnx again.
thank you very much. I will provide screenshots as soon as i can get to my Galaxy nexus.
Don't give in to the hate. I've done two Roms, a theme, and an app and I'm surprised at how nasty people can be over FREE software!
Anyway... I recommend you add Trackball Alert compatibility from lilHermit and AppWidgetPicker. Both are really useful and blend very well with AOSP.
Keep up the good work and keep having fun.
Thanks a lot. Can anyone give feedback please? I mean, you kind people are my testers. I will be able to test it after tomorrow at best...

[Q][Build.prop][Init.d] Best scripts/mods for the OG Evo running CM 7.2 Nightlies?

What scripts are you running? I am looking for the best combination of scripts that provide great 3g speeds, responsiveness and battery life. I would like to use this forum as a 'Once and for all, these are the tweaks to add if you are running CM 7.2. I know the smurfed out tweaks are good, but I have had trouble combining those with any others. Super Charger V6 also good, but doesn't play well with others. Loopy Smoothness tweaks, Nifty Conniption, I mean the list goes on...but...for maximum performance across the board which build.prop, init.d, sysctl.conf, ect. scripts work best with CM 7.2 nightlies? I have a list of collected build.prop scripts at home and will update to this post later. The idea is to come together as a community and collectively, once and for all, make our Evo's run as well as they can TWEAKED to the nth. Why CM 7.2? Because it is full functioning and open source.
Please leave your suggestions below and happy tweaking!
The best thing i can tell you to do is,trial and error and install each tweak manually to you build.prop,you will learn something new,plus you wont have to ask for help anymore.
You will just need a file explorer(root)to do this.I will write you a guide if you need one.
I don't need help because I dont know how to do it, I wanted help/advice on what others are finding as useful combinations.

Xda is just an outlet where people choose to post roms.
To check on the latest status of roms, you need to open the threads and read the OP. You also need to spend at least ten minutes reading each thread, That will tell you how stable each rom is and what kind of results people are having.

Is there a place for specific roms that we can see a list of all known bugs? I've been trying to check on, for example, CM10, paranoid android, and AOKP in particular and havent been able to find any bug trackers at all. Without knowing what bugs there are and what will/wont affect me, I'm too hesitant to try any of the roms and have been suffering through t-mobile's dual "update ready" and "update needed" constant un-clearable notifications. I cant even apply the stock updates because I debloated and applying the update fails because I dont have the apps that the update is attempting to update. Updating would involve doing a full factory reset back to stock and THEN updating, which means i'm probably better off simply waiting for samsung's official JB update to roll out in the first place

Actually that would be a great idea. It would help out the entire community.
Right now the way things exist, you pretty much have to read through an entire rom thread to determine the benefits/bugs of any given rom.
You could, for example, start a list for any particular rom.. read the entire thread, then make your own thread detailing current known bugs and post it in the same forum. Then the OP of the rom thread could post your link in the first post making it easy for everyone to find.
That would serve two purposes - you would learn the information you're seeking and also become an instantly appreciated contributor to the site.

I'm surprised the rom developers dont already have a system in place, though. The scope of the projects are presumably gargantuan collaborative works. i kind of assumed that they must have some sort of a bug tracking thing that they use between them. That bug tracking thing is what i've been venturing to find. There are a ton of user-specific bugs that I have no problem digging through the forums and figuring out myself, but what i'd love to see with roms is a list of "this is what we know isnt working yet. dont talk to us about this. we are working on it." or at the very least, "when you flash this rom, if you would like to help, run this command and upload the output HERE so we can fix some bugs we know about".
I'm coming from a linux world and it is very disconcerting to me to flash a rom, encounter a bug/error, and not be able to look at any sort of an error message or do anything to fix the problem except reboot/wipe/reflash and hope for the best. thats a very windows-y mentality to the whole thing, and i feel like if we're running linux on the phones we should be able to get a bit more involved in fixing our own problems a bit better too.
I guess what i'm trying to say is, i'd like to help and i have no clue where to even begin. with archlinux theres a beginners guide but with these roms its more of a "watch this youtube video and follow this tutorial but god help you if anyone thinks you are complaining about what people are doing for you for FREE".
EDIT: I found CM10's issue tracker, but there isnt anything specific for the GS3 there. The flicker and picasa sync issues arent even mentioned. Obviously Paranoid Android and Kang will have the same bugs as CM10, but im assuming that they'll have their own bugs introduced after they add in their own features and such.
ok.

Two things - one, if you're going to do a lot of flashing, and especially with CM10, you will want to install ROM Manager from the Google Play Store. It will make managing your updates/downloads easier
Two, there is a dedicated thread to CM10 in the "T-Mobile Galaxy S III Original Android Development" forum here:

i've downloaded the CWM pro and the TB pro. i was wondering what exact ROMS i can use. There is also the difficulty of understanding which rom is exactly which. Is there a way to view the Change log? i'm a super noob. i'm really sorry.
Changelogs won't do you much good.
I recommend flashing everything through CWM (make sure you have 6.0.1.2 Touch - in my signature if not). I wouldn't use ROM Manager at all. Having automated tools is great, but learning how to do it yourself is even better. Plus, if you break something, knowning what you are doing makes it easier to fix. Automated tools hurt more than they help.
As for roms, your options pretty much are as follows:
CyanogenMod: AOSP, the closest thing we have to the stock Google firmware.
AOKP: Pretty much CyanogenMod with some extra options. Nothing extraordinary about those extra options, just some nice things like center clock, swagger toggles, and unicorns.
MIUI: iPhone look for Android.
ParanoidAndroid: Scalable - for tablets (imo).
Then you have the neverending amount of customized stock (TouchWiz) roms.
They are all under constant development. If you want "stable", stay on your stock firmware. All of the roms listed above are stable enough to use as a daily driver. They all have threads in the two Dev forums. But if you don't know what to pick, use CyanogenMod.
I still think ROM Manager is a great tool, it's how I started years ago and I still managed to learn what I needed to over time flashing manually

[Q] Are specific mods available without flashing a rom?

I'm running Freeza's dedoexed stock MB1 Rom because there are some mods that I want to use, but I can't find them as stand-alone mods. A lot of the Roms have them built in, but they also come with a laundry list of things that aren't what I'm looking for, and/or have things removed that I would still want.
I'd like the Call Record mod, is available as callrecording.zip from Post #2 at Blazer Rom, which I believe is based on Freeza's Rom anyway. If I'm thinking properly, I should just be able to flash that as the Rom is at least partly based on Freeza's rom.
I'd also like to be able to use the camera and flash and wotnot on low battery and while on a phone call, but I haven't seen that mod by itself. And the final thing I'm looking for is the mod to use the volume rocker to skip music tracks while the screen is off.
Are these mods available if I don't use a whole rom to get them? I've searched high and low in the Themes & Apps and Original Android Development forums, but haven't found anything.
Can someone point me in the right direction if they are here somewhere, please? :fingers-crossed:
Just last week we had someone in here almost get crucified (figuratively) for asking pretty much the same question. But you seem like a nice guy, so hopefully it won't happen in this thread.
Unfortunately, there's no comprehensive listing of all available stand-alone mods. That would be a nice project to work on. But it would be hellish to debug (I don't even want to think about all the conflicting script that would go into flashing 10 different mods)
Anyways, onto your question... I think you might be able to find some minor mods here on xda. Where I would start is with the Rom itself. Most roms will list the various mods they have incorporated and will thank the dev who created that mod. Maybe if you look through the thanked users posts, you can find out where they posted the mod. It probably won't be in the Sprint section, so you'll have to be wary of what you're flashing (always nandroid prior to flashing).
Hope this points you in the right direction. Happy flashing!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, topherk. Hopefully that won't happen to me! I hadn't thought of looking for the thanked devs and seeing who created the mod. My next stop was to go straight to the Rom developers if I still hadn't found what I was searching for, but you're right, the rom developer might not be the same dev who created the mod.
The way they asked it was completely different. The way their request was interpreted was something like "why don't devs just build the exact Rom with these exact mods I want?"
They obviously were much more tactful than that, but some people could've taken it like that, and the ensuing ****storm was entertaining to watch.
Think you asked the"correct" question, which is whether there exists a listing of mods. I wouldn't mind helping to set up that list, but I feel maintaining it would be a pain, haha.
