[ROM]Orange Glacier [v2.0.0] -Stock Variant on EXT4 - Faux123 [May-15-2011]

Re-Introduce Orange Glacier 2.0.0​
The reason I created this ROM is NOT TO COMPETE with anyone else, it is mainly for myself. I wanted a light weight ROM that's STABLE and FAST but I also wanted to try something slightly different.
I WON'T BE Updating this ROM unless something is Seriously WRONG with it...
(I WON'T BE taking FEATURE REQUESTS and such, most can be added by yourself from various mods found in the Theme and Apps sub forum )
So here it is: Orange Glacier ?!?!?!?
Why the name:
Because ClockworkMod Recovery (3.0.0.5+) for Gingerbread is colored Orange for EXT 4 partitions and since this ROM uses EXT 4 File System (FS) as its primary FS, I decided to name it this way.
So what is in this Orange Glacier?
1. Completely rebuilt from Stock Image
2. Uses exclusively EXT 4 FS
3. Moved all optional Apps to /data/app partition for easy uninstall (including most Google Apps)
4. Rooted, /system set to RW by default
5. Deodexed, Zip aligned all /system/apps and framework files using ROM kitchen from fellow XDA member.
6. Dalvik memory boosted from default 24MB to 36MB
7. Few CFS tweaks
I want to Thank the following:
TeamSilence for inspiring me to start it all,
Pack for the awesome battery mods,
dsixda for the easy to use ROM kitchen (highly recommended to anyone interested in cooking their own ROM, it CAN'T be easier than what he provided)
Installation:
The File ==> Orange Glacier Version 2.0 <==

There's nothing special about this ROM.. It's mainly stock with the tweaks I mentioned in the OP...

stock is good for my battery i need battery more than fancy animations and all this gingerbread stuff

Sweet! Downloading now. Thanks Faux!
BTW, are there any known bugs/issues Faux?

Everything you have done is so amazing, so everything you do, we would pay special attention~~Tky Faux!!

nothing wrong basically itsstock with a few additions like battery mod and lil visuals here and there and speed up alot i dont feel no lag at all everything works idk bout ffc on qik cause my girl dont have but evrything is good to go

Well, this ROM gives me the best data speeds i have ever had. Unfortunately, every time that i reboot, it erases all of my screens. not sure why and OP says no support for this ROM. So i guess i will flash something else. It pains me to have to give up the data speeds.

He actually stated no support unless something serious is wrong. That seems pretty serious if happening to others as well. I would love to load a "de-bloatwared" stock image with good speed and full functionality. I can't wait to hear more feedback on this one.

just when I thought I was done with froyo forever. thanks faux, i feel OBLIGATED to give this a run.

Welcome to the ROM side of life Faux.

awesome!
Very excited to see faux grow as a dev I support faux's work 100% and cant wait to see future projects. CHEERS ---Team

Do I need to set up the ext4 or is it handled in the install?

yeaaaaaa Faux.... this is what i will be running until ginger sense comes out (if it ever will) thanks! this will be my first rom flash! your rom popped my phones cherry lol..... i love this!

[ROM] Optimized Kezra V4 Final [Android 2.3.6, Custom .35 Kernel, V6 Supercharger]

First of all let me thank all you member of this newborn community which is the Galaxy W's! Without you guys there would be no point in releasing this anyway.
First off credits:
Arco68 for helping me guiding me in this odyssey that is making Android builds and teaching me how the updater-script thing works and for allowing me to test some stuff which really helped me release this. Also for his custom Ancora kernel
knzo for helping me get started with Android and giving me the first tips that helped me want to learn more and do more. Also for his build.prop tweaks which are pretty handy
qzem for being one of the motivators behind the community and how got us the RZR Recovery as well as getting me Arco's kernel when my computer was being a slut.
dsixda for his awesome kitchen in which I cooked this ROM.
zeppelinrox for his funtastic V6 Supercharger script
Now what does this ROM have?
It is based on the Samsung Stock 2.3.6 ROM (latest EU ROM) but has been modded for better performance.
- Deodexed
- Zipaligned
- Rooted
- Busybox'd
- Has task killer tweaks
- /data/app functionality
- Custom Kernel by Arco68
- Roboto Font from Android 4.0 (ICS)
**NOT SO SMALL (xD) AND (POSSIBLY) MOST STABLE RELEASE YET**
The only things left from the TouchWiz UI are the Launcher and the Social Hub (because I really like it. The Hub that is. Launcher sucks balls.) apart from things tied to the framework like Phone, Contacts and Messaging.
In the instruction at this time (time of V3 release) I'll leave also instructions to integrate V6 Supercharger by zeppelinrox which should make the phone much more fun to use
A OC Version of the ROM is coming in the next few days aswell, as soon as I make sure it is stable.
Without further ado here's the link:

(2) Make a backup of your current ROM;
(3) Wipe data/cache
(4) Format /system/
(5) Flash the ZIP
(6) Enjoy.
Instructions for V6 Supercharger
(1) Download this file and put in somewhere in your memory card
(2) Go to the Market and download "Script Manager"
(3) Open Script Manager and go to Config and choose "Browse as Root"
(4) Browse to where the script is and choose it
(5) Select only the ROOT symbol and then RUN
(6) First choose option 2 and when asked again choose option 6 (if you feel like taking a chance, choose option MEGA RAM 2) and V6 will install.
(7) After you are done with installing browse to /data/ in the memory of the phone, a file called 99SuperCharger.sh will be there
(8) Choose it, select run at boot
(9) Reboot and you should be done, enjoy.

AnTuTu Score w/o V6 Supercharger: 3750
AnTuTu Score w/ V6 Supercharger (option 6): 38xx
AnTuTu Score w/ OC and Supercharger (option 6): 40xx
(If you're updating from V1 or V2, I advise you to backup your apps and do a full wipe)
NOTE: IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VIDEO, JUST INSTALL A VIDEO PLAYER AND IT WILL WORK FINE. I RECOMMEND MX VIDEO PLAYER.

F.A.Q.
(1) Will this ROM work on the Exhibit 2 4G?
A: No idea. Ask the devs for the Exhibit 2. The hardware is quite similar but some things do differ.
(2) Is this CM7?
A: No, it is not. I'll get on that when I can.
(3) What are the advantages of this ROM over stock?
A: It is rooted and much faster. Try it out yourself.
(4) What are the surprises you were talking about?
A: Unfortunately they couldn't be released at the same time as this ROM, so you'll just have to wait.
(5) Will you update this further?
A: As of V3, I dunno. I pretty much done everything I had to do to make it work as powerfully as possible.
(6) Is this overclockable?
A: It is as of V3, download the OC Rom.

Hey man great job!!! I haven't got time to participate on the forum for a while, cause of my job getting on the way (we are moving the whole company of 350 pepole from two different location to one new, so I was (or I still am) very busy). Thanks for mention me in your thanks list, I am very happy that I maybe helped a little bit this "Wonder" community . When we will finnish our move, I hope I will have the time to help more with some testing and stuff!

Yes it is. Just as it is in the normal Stock.

If Kezra agrees i want to mirror his roms for free without ads, on a reliable fast server

Installed correctly, but seems to be stuck on the "Samsung" after rebooting, the logo just keeps flashing.

I don't see anything against that. Give it to me and I'll put it on the 1st post

KP, a small question.
Now that the phone reads the external sd as the internal memory, I can finally see some use for the 16gb micro sd I was given for Xmas.
But I do want to keep all the data I already have on the one I was using up to now, so if I transfer the whole card on my PC and then on the other (bigger) card and finally put it in the phone, will I have all my data or will I be missing something because they are hidden Android system files?

I wanna sleep now it is 4am 'ere but because of this.....Thanks to All for BullDozing......

No, it won't. This is supposed to be a unification for all the stuffs that one can unite on the GNex. I will try to create an app to do this along side of improving this script in the future.
TBH with the recent CM episode I felt this is needed even more, screw them all. My script or app won't include things that won't work with CM like what they did, I assure you.

It's fine, the mod is already written in a way that it can handle update like this with ease. If there's actually a new sysfs that isn't exist anywhere else, I will add it if I deem it necessary. If that were not the case I would be in for maintenance hell for every kernel of every dev's update .

You're welcome. I actually wanted to get into kernel dev before but it seems like destiny is a ***** and I am stuck with these, as I am not going able to find enough time to care for my ROM, this mod, the app that I wanted to create and a kernel to add to these. Ranting aside, I'm fine with how things are .

Where is trickster.conf?
Don't understand, I installed the zip, but no trickster.conf appeared in /sdcard...

Ok, probably a dumb question,
But can these literally be used on ANY rom?
Or at least any ICS rom?
For example, would this be useful on a moto atrix running ICS? (CM9 based)
There a few ICS roms for the atrix floating around and I just wanna know if I should share this thread with some of the devs over there?
I do have a G-nex that ive been able to play with over the last couple days, and its sweet! If I flash this mod, are there any noticeable changes right off the bat, or just after imputing a command through terminal?
Thanks, and nice job

Theoretically, it should work anywhere with an ARMv7 CPU and Android 2.3 or higher but this has been tested only on GNex varieties by me and my testers. Still as I wrote this for GNex kernels, this script of course can't change kernel features that this script does not have. Basically I think it should work but with limited functionality, to be sure just nandroid first before applying it. Still I do not support this in anyway so don't come crying to me later if anything happens and I won't answer question regarding this script and other devices further. I do believe it has some values for any device out there, but it needs ppl with some knowledge to tweak it.

[GUIDE]simple tips choosing a custom ROM

I've seen a lot of new member here. I hope this thread might help them decide what ROM are best for them and reduce the number of question. however, I won't mention any rom in this forum to keep this thread from my subjective point of view. you should see the development section by yourself to find your best suited rom for you.
OK. lets get straight to the topic. this is some things that you should consider when you choose a custom rom. I'll divide the guide into three main parts two make everything is easy to understand. the parts are performance, style, and additional consideration.
##PERFORMANCE##
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. debloatware
debloatware is a process to remove considered useless apk from the system. every rom has different degree of debloatware. a hight degree debloatware means you'll have only use a little of ram space for system app. however we'll lost some of sync function like kies synchronization if we remove all bloatware from the system. make sure that you still have all the app you need from stock rom in your custom rom.
2. deodexed vs odexed
Most of custom rom available is deodexed rom while our stock rom is half deodexed rom. I'll try to explain it in most simple way. First of all, we should understand that mostly every app in android consist of three part, *apk files, *dex/odex files, and lib files.
ODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in same folder with the apk files (/system/app). the positive side, it is tend to more stable and consume less internal memory and a execute faster. it is also faster since the system doesn't have to build dalvik cache at boot process. the negative side, it makes the app uncostumizable (cannot apply custom themes) and need more space in system partition.
DEODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in /data/dalvik-cache. the positive side, the app can be themed (full customizable) and consume less system partition. we could put more app in /system/app in deodexed rom. the negative side, it consume a lot of internal memory. the system also might a little bit slower since the system need to build a lot of dalvik-cache when the phone start.
3. custom kernel
a custom kernel could give you a huge boost of performance. for the most basic one, you should choose a kernel with init.d support. we'll need it to run a lot of performance tweaks. if you're seeing a custom kernel, you should look into these point:
- custom governoor
custom governoor will give you a lot of option to set your device performance. you can set the performance as hight as possible or save your battery as long as possible by set the correct governoor.
- custom scheduler
its almost same with custom governoor. however it manage I/O on your device. it won't give you a huge boost on performance but you should consider it as your main consideration.
- droidwall support
- a2sd and swap support
- additional feature
- bug and rom compatibility
not all custom rom compatible with all custom kernel. make sure that your custom kernel is compatible with your rom.
4. performance tweak availabilty
for a basic consideration, make sure that your rom have a performance tweak. otherwise, you'll got only a themed rom with stock performance. if you're a performance person, make sure your rom is have these tweak.
- memory management optimization
- hsdpa optimization
- kernel and I/O optimization
- gps optimization
- internet speed optimization
these tweaks are could be found at build.prop, init.d, sysctl.conf, and gps.conf.
5. additional tweaks
there are also some additional tweak you should consider if you want to install a rom. the commonly used are:
- bravia engine
- sound enhancement
6. performance app
some ROMs offer performance tweak app like ROM manager inside it. you should consider these app if you're a performance person
##STYLE##
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. theme
this is a very subjective topic. you should choose a rom with a topic suit with your style.
2. degree of customization
every rom has certain degree of customization. if you're a themed person, you should consider these point for your rom.
- EDT tweak for statbar customization
- ROM'S lab
- customizer app
- theme availability
3. ROM special app
some of ROM have special app for their rom. they're specially developed for only certain roms and comes with special names and various function. these app will give you a huge power for style and performance customization.
##ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION##
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. update availability
some ROMs are good but they're left undeveloped. you won't get an update for your rom. you should choose a rom with a continous update from the dev to ensure you get the best rom for you.
2. dev support
not all ROM maker are really a dev. some of them just a wannabe dev with a theme modified rom skill. you can't expect them to solve the bug in their rom. you should choose with a good reputation and high skill.
3. rom size
this is not a huge issue. if you have a slow internet connection, a smaller rom is better for you. smaller rom also means a big degree of bloatware. the system will be lighter than the other rom.
4. rom base
some of rom are using old firmware (--KL) while some other are using newer firmware(--LB or newer). you should aware of these stuff since not theme and mod available in our forum are compatible with all firmware. new firmware will give you more stability but in most case you can't have custom bootanimation.
5. multilanguage
this is not a huge issue but you should consider it as well. not all rom support japanese, chinese, arabic, spain and latin fonts.
DISCLAIMER: REMEMBER THAT YOU'LL NEVER GET ALL IN ONE PACKET ROM. ALL ROMS HAVE THEIR STRENGTH POINT. YOU CAN'T EXPECT ANY DEV TO MAKE "A PERFECT" ROM FOR EVERYONE. IF YOU DON'T SATISFY WITH YOUR ROM REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS CUSTOMIZE YOUR ROM BY YOURSELF.

Reserved for dunno
just in case

This thread really help me to create my own custom rom with world best future ......... many many thanks for the great thread .....

With odexed rom its support or not...
Sent from my GT-S6102 using Tapatalk 2

if you want a customizable theme you can make your systemUI.apk as a deodexed apk. if your apk have classes.dex inside it you'll need to delete systemUI.odex from your system.

Can i add a link to this in FAQ bro?
This is basic but very useful for newbies

yes sure...

that is an unending debate, anyway for me
stability - stock ROM

I already have all my tweaks needed for my rom. If anyone asked "what rom do you like?" I'll answered "just a stock rom but with a better graphic and sound driver". however, I'm afraid we've to build it from source to get it

More questions
Great explanations bro, specially for nobs like me
My questions are:
1- How can I know if the ROM totally support Arabic-Language?
I live in Saudi Arabia and My SGY comes with XXLC1 stock ROM.
2- Is there any other stocks than XXLC1 ROMs I can use and still support Arabic and Modem-settings in my region?
I notes that most if not all custom ROMs based on Different stocks than mine.
I know, it sounds like I answered my first question in the second one, but still I need more clarifications.
3- Now I'm using REMIX ROM with [email protected] Kernel, based-band S5360XXLC1. Still, I can't have full Arabic interfaces and
my browsers cant read Arabic too. I wounder why?
Sorry for the very nob questions and Thank you very much.

Infromation About CrossBreeder-
- This is a new take at Android lag reduction. It's lightweight and won't consume battery. Users have reported drastic improvements in usability and even benchmark scores. It will show noticeable improvements - Android devices from Donut to Froyo to Gingerbread to Honeycomb to ICS and Jellybean.
- This is a combination of 5 different methodologies to reduce Android lag.
- Removal of DNS lag . A lot of the lag in a lot of apps, apart from the GUI lag, is due to slow DNS querying, specially on the mobile network.
- CrossBreeder now runs a caching, parallelising DNS client on the device. So now most of your DNS queries will be served from the cache and if not found, the query will be sent in in round robin fashion to multiple DNS servers including Google DNS, OpenDNS and your home router and the reply will be served to you, hot.
- This speeds up network access and networked apps, like Browsers of course, and Tapatalk, Gmail and thousands of others drastically. And removes a lot of the lag where it was due to DNS querying. This will not increase your network or download speed but pages will load much faster.
- This will future proof your devices as more and more apps start using HTML5 and/or reside completely as web pages or the like.-
I Just thought, there are some great developers in our forum, with great tweaks, geared for their own specific purpose, and i thank them. I HAVE asked for permission to use these tweaks, to make a pack of the best, from the best taking a few of those great tweaks and putting them in one lightweight package. Now , I did NOT create any tweak in this pack. That is why introductions and thanks are in order.
ALL THANKS TO THESE GUYS

Gentlemen- On behalf of the users of this tweak , and every E4GT owner out there.... *BOWS* I thank you....
I am in no way responsible for your equipment, flash at your own risk
Download ComaDose version you prefer, from the downloads section, and put on root of phone
Boot into custom recovery
Flash ComaDose
Reboot to rom (flash stock kernel) or reboot system etc.
This is a .zip file, can be flashed with CWM recovery, put on root of phones storage, boot into recovery & flash.
Issues with repack and new Custom Recovery kernels-
Now Ive heard it works for some people on repacks, and ive heard of battery drain, and GPS taking along time to lock on others. But the best results i get, are out of the "stock" Leak kernels.
Conflicting issues with new Custom Recovery modded and released updated version

Test Init.d With The "21 Test-init.d" script​
-THINGS YOU NEED-
Rom Toolbox (free or pro)
Root Access (superuser access) for Rom Toolbox
ComaDose Already Flashed
-Steps-
After ComaDose flash, if you want to check if your init.d is functioning properly you can check it with the 21 test init.d script...
After flash the test init.d script has already ran (on startup) now thwe sole purpose of this script is to show whether or not init.d
is properly functioning.
When this script is ran (executed) as all scripts in init.d are upon startup, it creates a file in the /data folder.
so why dont we take a look for it?
Using Rom Toolbox, go to the "root browser" tab (upon first startup youll be prompted to SuperUser permissions, Allow this)
Once in Root Browser youll be in the root of your device by default. ( / )
Click on the "Data" folder..
In the /Data folder, were looking for "Exit Only Init.d" file
if you see this file, your init.d is working and all scripts are running ...
If you dont see this file after reboot (post flash) you can execute the "21 test Init " script manually...
back out to the root of the phone, go into "system", then into "etc" then into the "init.d" folder and locate the "21_testinit.d" script, press on it , bringing up this menu.
press the "open as" tab, bringing up this menu...
then press the "script file" option..
Then you want to press the "execute Script" option, making sure the "execute as root option is checked, as shown below.
which will then execute the script using init.d support to do so.. looking like this
after its executed, go back into /data and find the "Exit Only Init.d" file if its there your init.d is working....

nice ... !

its running on the s4 9500 (thread there as well) 9505 , S3, E4GT , Galaxy Nexus. it will work if the kernel / rom has init.d support. its had a few problems with already heavily modded roms.. working great on many different roms, by many different devs... init.d support is required.. flash and let me know fellas.. please allow a full charge cycle before battery concerns.. (this is made to make your phone sleep like a baby, live wallpapers, widgets and other factors WILL affect battery life)

Hello. Crash is a stock based rom. One of the best ROMs for I9500 out there.
Perseus is a kernel, which is in alpha 9 stage. Dev of perseus is one of the most famous kenerl developers on xda. Go through the original development section, its hard to miss.
The combination works very good for me. My phone is silky smooth and am getting 5+ hours of screen on time. Although phone tends to get pretty hot while gaming. Then again i guess its the fault on samsung side.

I can Confirm that this mod is working on I9500, so far no problems

Mod is for both i9500 AND i9505... its actually Generic, will work on anything from, my Asus Transformer tf300t tablet to Epic 4g Touch.
