Modifications to CF-Root (aside from the icons)
- Due to a lot of bickering and argueing, I'm simply no longer allowing this at all
- You can still kang a script or two left and right, I don't mind, as long as you are not basing an entire kernel on mine, or re-branding it, etc. Use common sense, you know exactly what I mean.
...
DjMaryuslive :
Do you have some kind of agreement with Chainfire that allows you to release this modification to CF-Root kernel?

Is the startup and shutdown sound enable?

This is not work of Chainfire,With all due respect for Chainfire work,but no one can force me ask his opinion to bring a new version that he still does not work or works in progress.
READ FIRST POST

How wrong you are. You can't release kernels based on CF-Root without my permission on XDA. Furthermore, it isn't just based on my work, it is in fact the exact same file as posted in my own thread.
So, not only is this a straight repost of my own work without permission; that this it is a newer version and bugfixed is a straight-up lie.
I have no idea what the agenda is here, but there will be repercussions to this.

I guess the TS didn't notice that the "CF" in CF-Root stands for Chainfire.. wow

LMFAO... Obvious kang is obvious. You, OP, are a bullshitter... And bull**** is not tolerated on XDA.

Great! What Android versions can be ran on this phone?
JellyBean - 4.2.2 - TouchWiz ROMs are 4.2.2 and there's a few CM10.1 ROMs out there still.
JellyBean - 4.3- CM10.2 ROMs are rolling out but remember, you may encounter bugs as it is still a WIP (Pretty stable, though.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Cool, but I'm a noob, what should I start off with?
My suggestion to you is for you to run some TouchWiz ROMs to get you comfortable with the flashing, nandroiding, tweaking processes and then move on to something else. Above all read and search.

This was written by benjamingwynn and brought over to the Vibrant section by Woodrube, so thanks goes out to them!
Okay, I think I'm ready to begin! Where do I start?
You have a few ways to go here..
But before we continue, let me explain something to you. Our phones have this 'flash counter' built in.
There is a way to reset it after you've triggered it, so don't be alarmed.
Flash counter? What's that?
The flash counter is a binary counter built in Samsung phones that is used by Samsung to basically help identify if you have been tampering with your firmware and flashing unofficial software.
Each time you flash unofficial firmware via Odin, your binary flash counter goes up by 1.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ah, okay.. is there anyway to bypass that?
Yes and no.
How to get root easier and faster, triggering the counter:
Chainfire has developed an way to flash a custom recovery and root your phone.
Visit this thread to download and see the many features it has: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
Big thanks goes out to him for making things so simple!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE: You CAN reset your flash counter to 0 using an application developed by Chainfire called Triangle Away which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
What can I do now that I have root?
You can backup your apps using Titanium Backup found in the Google Play store.
Use apps that require root.
Etc.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What can I do now that I have a custom recovery?
Make a NANDROID backup of your current setup and restore that backup!
Flash ROMs, modems, kernels, themes, etc.
Wipe data, clear cache, etc.

Credits and Thank you's:
- s15274n for his great guides and borrowed words!
- Woodrube for his great guides and borrowed words!
- Anyone else I may have missed.
Note: I will update this thread daily and keep everything current.
These are my ways of flashing my device and they have worked perfectly, there are other ways as well and they have been posted.
So look around if you find this confusing!

whats the truth?
I was looking around at various sources when I updated to MK2_4.3 from 4.2.2 and I read that once you've Flashed MK2, updated 4.3 that there is no way to go back down to 4.2 . . . is this true? Also is it possible and/or stable to flash 4.2.2 Roms from MK2?

That is only true if you have done one of these three thing:
#1: Allowed OTA update to 4.3
#2: Updated to 4.3 using Kies
#3: Odin flashed the official stock 4.3 firmware from http://SamMobile (or elsewhere)
If you have not done any of those three things you can go back and forth between 4.2.2 and 4.3.
Good Luck!

How would I know if I were able to flash 4.2.2 Rom or not? Just give it a try and if it works then im good and if not it will say error or what (I am just asking so I don't try something and screw things up)
Also kinda off topic but Ive been trying to Flash a jfltexx Rom which is the GT-9505 int variant, I tend to use alot of their Roms and never have problems but latley when flashing aosp based roms like omni it says that i could only use jfltetmo builds, I was thinking that I could flash a TW based build like Foxhound or something then factory reset and flash from there and maybe it would register as a jfltexx but so far no luck. Thanks again

Personally I stay away from roms like that, I just stick to the
M919 Samsung Jellybean Touchwiz based custom roms.
Don't get me wrong I tried basically all of those AOSP/AOKP/CM/GE/KitCat and the Ported roms
but found that they all have one thing in common, they are basically stripped bare from all the niceties
and the bells and whistles which make the M919 Tmobile Jellybean Touchwiz based roms so excellent.
Since I am really not too much into those other roms, I would hate to guess at giving you or anyone
else any suggestions as to how to fix any issues you are having with those other roms.
As far as trying to go back to the M919 4.2.2 Jellybean Touchwiz based custom roms go it's easy,
just make a nandroid backup of your existing rom and see for yourself, if you don't get any errors
or other unusual issues trying to flash those roms then then you are Ok and need not worry about
the KNOX pox.
Remember there are only three ways to get KNOX on your phone as you saw in my previous post.
Good luck!

It might be coming from Cell Broadcast.. I'm not sure if Wicked has it or not but I remember getting amber alerts from the cell broadcast that was on the cm rom and there was settings on there to turn it on & off or if you wanted it keep it on you were able to control the types of emergency's to get alerts from like weather emergency's like hurricanes etc or amber alerts

Yeah I know what you mean... I agree with you about touchwiz ROMs compared with aosp/aokp/cm/pa/...
I was just asking because I've had this problem before and some how it went away and I never thought of it again until this last week went trying to flash Omni Rom...
What is your favorite Rom or some of your favorites... Like do you use several different roms or do you stay with a particular rom update to update?? Just wondering

[RECOVERY LOCKED] Safestrap Recovery v3.71/v3.72 [2014-04-02 KK Beta]

*** DISCLAIMER ***
I work on projects that may brick your device. Don't sue me, hate me or try and kill my dog if that happens. I will feel bad the community will feel bad and hopefully we'll find a way to get you going again. But, the very nature of my projects involves a certain amount of risk taken by YOU. And by using the projects that I work on, you've accepted that fact.
WARNING #1: CURRENTLY THERE IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
USEFUL LINK OF TW ROMS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
v3.72 (NB1): Beta testing, no rom-slots
v3.71 (MK2): Debugging some rom-slot issues
v3.65 (TW4.2): Stable
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.6.3.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (2 on the S4 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for 3 different sizes of /data partitions: 1GB, 2GB and 3GB. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.

HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Root
Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources
Download the Safestrap APK
Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".
(If updating from an existing Safestrap you might be warned that this will over-write the existing installation. Click the "Yes" equivalent to this message.)
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
That's it for the installation! Read below for a brief overview of Safestrap Recovery v3.x
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press under the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting.
By "under", I mean on the touch key portion of the front display on either side of the center button.
HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
THEN, open a "file explorer" of some sort (even TW "My Files" will work)
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK
Grant SU access
Use the "Install Recovery" button
All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using

Add the MF3 kernel module .zip to the "Downloads" section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=680#downloads
Keep this on your SD card and flash it to the ROM-slot AFTER flashing a rom.
This will update your kernel modules to match the MF3 kernel and restore function to: wifi, bluetooth, gps etc.

Thank you so much hash!

Graviton Rom works on SS... no issues at the moment ...what else are other users using?
---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------
Can I flash performance mods zips only on slot 1 like killjoy or flyon mod etc? Or no because the stock kernel doesn't have init.d support?
Edit: as long as you flash to slot 1-4 everything will be safe. .. currently using darth stalker rom and that has init.d support, no issues at the moment.

HELLO GREETINGS GUYS, GREAT JOB, I HAVE A DOUBT REGARDING THE SAFE ROMS SUPPORT STRAPS, AND ROM VERSIONS
1 - VERSION 4.3 SUPPORT? SS
2 - VERSION 4.2.2 SUPPORT? ROMS SUPPORT IS SS
3-THEME CAN FLASH MOD, ECT ..,?
* FINALLY HAVE MANY ROM Pacht LOKI LOKI IS DEVE install AFTER THE ROM OR NOT ONLY THE MODULE MF3? SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH I AM USING GOOGLE TRANSLATOR .. THANKS ..
HOLA CHICOS SALUDOS ,,GRAN TRABAJO,TENGO UNA DUDA EN CUANTO LOS ROMS SOPORTE PARA SAFE STRAPS,Y VERSIONES DE ROM
1- 4.3 VERSION SOPPORTE?SS
2- 4.2.2 VERSION SOPPORTE?SS CUAL ROMS SOPORTE
3-SE PUEDE FLASHEAR MOD THEME, ECT..,?
POR ULTIMO MUCHOS ROM TIENE LOKI PACHT SE DEVE INTALAR EL LOKI DESPUES DEL ROM O NO SOLAMENTE EL MODULO MF3 ? DISCULPEN POR MI INGLES ESTOY USANDO GOOGLE TRADUCTOR..GRACIAS..

So I've searched and searched, but can't seem to find a clear answer and I want to make sure of this before I try.
My "stock" ROMs are always CM-based 4.3 ROMs (haven't used TW in awhile). I got my S4 when it was still MDL so my qfuse isn't blown - so my intended use for this is only for the additional ROM slots. I have gathered that, at least for now, the only ROMs we can flash to the additional slots have to be TW or GPE 4.2.2. But my question is, does my primary ROM also have to meet that description? Or can I keep my 4.3 AOSP ROM as my primary?

AT&T Error
Hello,
I flashed the GEP rom to Rom Slot 1 and now I am getting an error that says Kernel Fail; System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help. There is a yellow triangle.
I followed the instructions, but now have a hosed phone unless I can somehow restore the backup of my stock rom.
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks for your efforts.

Phone was not encrypted. I might have to take it in to AT&T or Best Buy Samsung Experience store. The phone gets into Download Mode, so at least that still works.

[ROM] [AOSP](8/9/14) Shiny ROM: OTA-Like, Stock Android [4.4.4] [KTU84P]

Shiny ROM: Android 4.4.4, KTU84P for Galaxy Nexus (Maguro)
Skip right to the downloads (if you dare )
Hello there XDA GNex community! I'll admit this is a pretty spontaneous post; I've been building ROMs from the Android Open Source (Project) for awhile now, but I've never "published" any of them. I myself used to own a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, so I've always built from AOSP to make sure I'm as up to date as possible. Well, that's a little background so let's get going with the overview of the ROM itself:
Overview
This ROM is Android KitKat 4.4.4, build KTU84P. The ROM is built directly from source, that is, the Android source code published by Google available for download to all of us developers. The reason I say the ROM is "OTA-like" is because I make VERY few modifications to it, aside from the things that it takes to get the ROM working. I'll go into detail about those things below, but basically I just want the ROM to make your phone feel stable and shiny and new as if it has just received a new OTA update. That being said, it's clear that the landscape of Nexus devices is changing as new ones are released. Therefore, the other primary goal of this ROM is to keep our Galaxy Nexus as close to the modern Nexus design as possible. This means that I will also add in features that will still be stock, but will also make our phones as close to a current Nexus as possible.
As for how I handle the forum side of things, I'm always open to comments, questions, suggestions, requests, etc. I know that most of those things will often be in the form of criticism, but it's okay, I think I can handle it That being said, I do also have a life and am a college student, so I may not get to come on here ALL the time. I will check back as frequently as possible, and I'm hoping that you guys will help each other out as much as possible! Keep it friendly! So now for the details...
Features
Stock Android 4.4.4, build KTU84P
Source (AOSP) built kernel (boot.img)
Easily rootable (see information below)
G-Apps (GMail, Play Store, etc.) included in build along with Nexus apps
Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
Shiny restart options - access them by holding down the power button and then long pressing on "Power Off"
All the crazy Google proprietary app stuff has been taken care off
Updated frequently
Everything works!
So what do I mean when I say "Everything works!"?
I'm sure by now you all know that when someone says that, it usually ends up not being true. This ROM is not an exception to that rule, but I can say that I've tested most of the things that would be expected to work in stock Android, such as...
WiFi Tethering (no subscription check)
Bluetooth streaming
Google account sign-in and auto-restore of apps and settings
Google Wallet
Location Services (pretty fast GPS lock in my area also)
Photosphere
Android beam
Photo editing with the new filters
Email
Exchange support
Like I said, the normal stuff (data, voice, hardware acceleration, etc.)
More things that aren't important enough to mention here - check out the changelog for a more comprehensive list
Possible Bugs
It's impossible for me to test for and notice EVERY single possible bug in the operating system, so as of right now I can't say that there are any, although I'm sure you will find some. If you do, report them here!
Other IMPORTANT Information
Root
But wait, nothing in this post said anything about root!!!11!!1!1!!! That's right, my ROM does NOT have root built in! (I don't use any root apps, and it's important to the whole "OTA-like" theme). That being said, the ROM is easily rootable; I made sure of this because I know that many, many of you will use root for many useful purposes. If you want to root the ROM, it's as easy as installing Chainfire's new superuser control app/su with this ZIP file. More detailed information can be found in the "Installation Instructions" section. **NOTE** If you are rooted and upgrading to a new build, you should not have to reflash the rooting flashable ZIP because the ROM will keep root for you.
Updates
Now that the ROM has gotten to this stage, the update policy needs a bit of editing Based on the stats I have access to from the website host and data that I collect myself, it seems like Shiny ROM is currently (as of May 27, 2014) stable for at least 80% of the users who have downloaded it. Based on this, and because the ROM is stock, Nexus-like, it doesn't really make sense to update the ROM as frequently as before. The ROM will still be updated as soon as possible after new versions of Android are released. In between Android versions, I will work on making things 100% stable, although that goal isn't always attainable with older devices and aging hardware support. If we decide to explore other paths for the ROM, you will see many more updates If/when the time comes for me to stop updating Shiny ROM, I will let everyone know in a clear way.
Radios
This ROM will (most likely) work with any maguro radios (so long as you have the appropriate ones for your device/area; however, I of course recommend using the most recent radios doe your device. You can find flashable ZIPs of all radio versions in the download post.
Bootloader
Once again, I'm assuming that this ROM will work with all tuna bootloaders; BUT for optimal experience and performance, use the newest Google-approved bootloader, PRIMEMD04. My ZIP installation package for that bootloader can be downloaded here.
ClockworkMod Recovery
I personally recommend using ClockworkMod Recovery as it has always worked well for me with no quirks. Android 4.2 messed up a few aspects of recoveries because of its multi-user system. ClockworkMod Recovery has been updated to correct some of these issues, and I recommend updating to the most recent version, 6.0.4.7. You can flash either the touch recovery or non-touch recovery image through fastboot OR you can download my flashable recovery update ZIP (touch/non-touch) and flash it in recovery. Check out the installation instructions for more details on this.
Some Other Not-so-important Information
Naming Conventions
All of my ROM ZIP files are automatically generated by my build computer. All builds begin with the prefix ShinyROM_maguro_aosp. That prefix is always followed by the date in mmddyy format (e.g. 112212), a hyphen ("-"), and the time in 24-hour, hhmmss format (e.g. 153945). Finally, all builds end with the "signed" suffix - it just helps me know which packages have finished building and which have not. Hopefully this helps everyone to know which update is newest; I stay away from version numbers because I let Google do all of the version control.
Source
In keeping with the spirit of open-source, all relevant Shiny ROM code can be viewed on Github. I'm not extremely experienced with Github, so bear with me as I learn! Thank you!
File Hosting
I've switched over from using Dev-host to a privately hosted site, graciously and generously given to me by user Goofball. Dev-host is still an amazing service, but it's much more convenient for me to use a privately hosted site, plus I get my own suburl and FTP access! HUGE thanks to Goofball! The private hosting will definitely help me deliver a better experience to you guys as far as downloading goes. You can view all of my uploaded, public files here: http://shinyrom.goofball.org/
Also, if anyone ever wants to mirror for me, please feel free so long as you keep the file name and the file itself intact. As for everyone who downloads from a posted mirror: BE CAREFUL! Always use a virus scanner and be careful with what you are putting on your device!
Installation Instructions (VERY IMPORTANT - Note: You can flash all of these ZIPs in CWM or TWRP*)
*Android 4.4 KitKat builds must be installed using the latest version of your preferred recovery!
ROM
1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the download post. (Also download any other files you will need to install, such as Chainfire's SuperSU Root ZIP, radio installation ZIPs, the bootloader installation ZIP, etc.)
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. If you want to be 100% sure there are no problems, wipe data. If you are coming from another ROM or Android version, wipe data. If you do not wipe data and something goes wrong, repeat this process but wipe data - this step is not necessary if you are simply upgrading.
10. If you are updating your radios, flash the radio ZIP
11. If you are updating your bootloader, flash PRIMEMD04-signed.zip
12. Flash the ROM (ShinyROM_maguro_aosp...signed.zip)
13. If you are rooting, flash Chainfire's SuperSU ZIP file - this step is not necessary if you were rooted on the previous build and are simply upgrading.
14. Reboot your phone, and enjoy!
**Note: If you are simply upgrading to a new version of the ROM and want to keep root, follow the exact instructions above, and do not format /system. It really is not necessary to format /system at any time (unless specifically noted), as the ROM installer has this function built in.
Mods
1. Download the latest version of the mod(s) you wish to install from the download post.
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. Install the mod(s) you downloaded in step 1.
10. Fix permissions (not really necessary)
11. Reboot and enjoy!
**Note: You can remove all mods you've installed by dirty flashing the latest version of the ROM.
ClockworkMod Recovery (Fastboot method - must have an unlocked bootloader and fastboot in your path)
1. Download either the CWM touch recovery image or non-touch recovery image to your computer and rename it to "recovery.img".
2. Power off your phone.
3. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
4. Plug your phone into your computer using the standard USB cable.
5. Open the command prompt/terminal and navigate to the folder where your "recovery.img" is saved.
6. Type "fastboot devices" to make sure your phone is recognized; a serial number should show up on the screen.
7. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and wait for the process to complete (should be quick).
8. You're done! Use the volume keys to select "Recovery" and boot into your new recovery!
ClockworkMod Recovery (Flashable ZIP method - easier)
If you are updating your recovery before flashing a ROM, these steps should ALL be completed PRIOR to flashing the ROM.
1. Download either the touch recovery flashable ZIP or the non-touch recovery flashable ZIP.
2. Place the ZIP file downloaded in step 1 on your internal storage/sdcard.
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Choose "Install update from sdcard"
7. Select "Choose file from sdcard"
8. Find the flashable recovery ZIP file you downloaded and install it
9. Back up to the root menu of recovery
10. Select "advanced"
11. Select "reboot recovery"
12. The phone should boot up into your new recovery!
Credits
As with most ROMs, I only did a small part to get everything together. Also, a note that should be made here is that when I am using someone else's file, I ALWAYS host files on the Shiny ROM server to ensure that I don't put any unnecessary stress on their servers. Any file, however, still belongs to and is accredited to its original creator as listed below:
Willyjay - For providing us with lots of amazing and innovative mods for the ROM!
Inmanster - Another great modder who we are fortunate to have here in the thread. He works in collaboration with Willyjay and his mods for many things, but also does some of his own unique mods!
Chainfire - For their SuperSU app and su binary, as well as the convenient ZIP update package, which was previously used and recommended. Check out their website, http://www.chainfire.eu/
Groupers - My new buddy who helped me out with a GPS issue that popped up in 4.2.
Google - Without their amazing staff and willingness to share the source code of their operating system, I wouldn't have been able to build this ROM! Of course, all of the Google apps are theirs, along with the Play Store and system apps. They really are the true owners of all of this.
Samsung - We all may have some mixed feelings about them, but in the end they gave us the amazing, hackable phone that is the Galaxy Nexus.
XDA - By providing such a great Android community, ROMs like this one are able to easily connect with users and get their work out there
Dev-Host - The file-sharing service with virtually no limits on sharing - kudos to them and their hard work. d-h.st
Koush and the ClockworkMod/ROM Manager Team - They make the best recovery that's been around for longest, and their constant updates allow us to keep making ROMs! Also, Koush's recently released open source Superuser control app is the best available and the one linked to in the thread. Thanks Koush! clockworkmod.com
Kevdliu - Huge thanks to this dev and their amazing quick settings mod!
The CyanogenMod Team - For a working implementation of DSPManager on Android which can be ported to any AOSP-based ROM! Without them and Bigwavedave25, the DSP manager mod would not be available! Be sure to thank them and to check out the CyanogenMod website! Also, for their feature-filled version of the stock Messaging app which is available as a mod for my ROM!
bouchigo - a user who has helped to make the CM10 Messaging app available as a mod for my ROM in conjunction with Willyjay for bringing it to my attention.
Schoat333 - A user who helped out Willyjay with the bubble styled MMS mods. The credit for the screenshots to go along with the mods goes to him!
Yarly - The most experienced admin I've ever had the pleasure of talking with, who taught me some new debugging tricks and answered some of my questions.
Razorloves - Another admin who helped me out with a few problems and answered a lot of my questions!
Tiny4579 - A kernel dev who also took the time to talk with me and answer a few of my questions.
Thanks to everyone for their hard work and sharing that work with others!
DISCLAIMER
Come on guys, it's a Galaxy Nexus, to what extent could it really get messed up? Nonetheless, in case someone flashes this then puts their phone in the microwave or something and tries to blame it on me, I am not directly responsible for anything that occurs, either negative or positive, from flashing this ROM to your phone. Despite that, I am posting in the spirit of the Android community, a community that I have embraced and belonged to for several years, and I would never try to hurt any of your innocent, beautiful phones. Also, none of the original source for Android belongs to me, nor do any of Google's apps. All preinstalled applications are property of Google, Inc. and I make no claim of ownership to them.

Mods
Before installing any of the packages below, please be sure to check out the mod installation instructions in the OP!
Key
To make mod installation more convenient, all mod links will now be color-coded based on the files they change. The key shows what each color corresponds with:
Red - SystemUI.apk
Blue - framework-res.apk
Purple - SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk
Green - Other
If you install mods that are in the same color group, it is likely that they will overwrite each other. It is OK to overwrite a previously installed mod, but please note that the originally installed mod will no longer be there. If you want to completely revert to stock, flash the "Back to Stock ZIP" mod under the baldwinguy77 mod section. This mod replaces your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files with ones from the stock ROM.
Developer-specific Mods
All of these mods have been provided by some really awesome mod developers who take the time to continue to make updated mods for my newest ROM builds. That being said, they have lives and can't always get the mods out right away, so make sure the date next to their name matches the build you're running! They usually are around the thread and are open to doing custom mods if you ask Be sure to thank them and check out the credits section for more info!
Baldwinguy77 (Updated for 8/9/14 build)
Back to Stock ZIP - Returns you to the stock version of the ROM by removing SystemUI and framework-res mods.
Stock kernel flashable ZIP - Overwrites any custom kernel you have installed with the stock kernel normally packaged with the ROM.

36 DPI Nav. Bar - Replaces the stock navigation bar with a smaller (height-wise), 36 DPI version.
Black Dash-style Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with black, dash-style ones.
Blue Stock Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with blue-colored ones.
Carrier Text Replacement - Replaces the carrier text on the lockscreen and pulldown notification shade with "Galaxy Nexus".
Extended Battery Framework Mods - Improve accuracy of battery level reporting for those using extended batteries.
2100 mAh (with Carrier Text Replacement mod)
3050 mAh
3800 mAh
5900 mAh (with No CRT-off Animation mod)
Grey Battery Percentage - Enables display of the current battery percentage in the status bar with grey-colored font.
InmanMod - A combination of the 2100 mAh battery, no CRT-off animation, carrier text, 36 DPI nav. bar, and white zenyth softkeys mods.
No CRT-off Animation - Removes the stock, default CRT-like screen off animation.
White Zenyth-style Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with white, zenyth-style ones.
Universal Mods & Downloads
These mods have been compiled by myself, sometimes in conjunction with the modders above, to always work with any version of the ROM (but not necessarily any device). Therefore, you don't have to worry so much about these being up-to-date because they should always work. If that is ever not the case, simply PM me and we'll get it fixed This section also includes some other Verizon Galaxy Nexus related downloads such as the latest radios and bootloader. You can use these according to the installation instructions in the OP.
Universal Mods
AOSP Web Browser (for Android 4.4) - Installs the AOSP web browser with Chrome bookmark syncing for Android 4.4.
DSP Manager (for Android 4.4) - Installs the DSP Manager app along with the audio libs and configs important to running the service, allowing you to customize the audio equalizer of your device. At the moment, certain apps on Android 4.4 do not work with the modular DSP service.

No GApps "Add-on" Zip
Some people don't like the way ShinyROM includes its own GApps. Flash this zip directly after the ROM and it will strip out most of the included GApps so that you may use the preferred GApps of your choosing. This will leave the core GApps (Store, Services, etc.) as well as any others required for basic functionality (Keyboard, Camera, Launcher, Dialer, etc.) since there are none of the AOSP counterparts included.
This is particularly handy for GApps packages that try to measure the free space and may fail to install if it feels there isn't enough room.
Enjoy!

Finally! Boom!

No worries! I actually love having the GApps included, but a lot of people were fussing about it in Sesme's port thread so I thought I'd help out.
Also if you're interested, on xda here we've got a complete maguro radio thread and CWM thread I maintain:
[REF] [RADIO] [GSM] Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250 Baseband Collection & Discussion
[RECOVERY] [GN] [GSM] ClockworkMod Recovery Official + Nightlies [Flashable Zip]
:good:

Is this rom lagging for anyone? Right after I flash it I can't even pass the Setup Wizard ..

Just awesome man! The port was already the best ROM. Pure stock, and I can tell you, it's blazing fast!

Great work man！
Official build both on toro and maguro now,could you make one for toroplus？
We need your awesome rom！

Awesome! Exactly what we need.
Giving this ROM a go.

Nice to see its official now. But on post #1 there are some reference to rootzwiki as xda and I know its probably a copy+paste thing that's why. Just pointing it out

Hey there! I'd love to push out builds for toroplus as well - I think it's safe to say that's next in the pipeline.

Oops! I thought I got all of the necessary edits but I missed the one right at the beginning! *Facepalm* Thank you for pointing that out - it's fixed now

Are those battery Extended Battery Framework zips compatible with maguro? I downloaded them from toro's RootzWiki thread a while ago and they were giving me a bootloop
Also, can I use them with other ROMs?
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus utilizzando Tapatalk

I've read that it's not possibile to flash ROM over a stock 4.3 rom.
Someone can confirm this? Also if I wipe /cache partition and Dalvik cache?
Investigating it seems that zip file contains an update script which only overwrites the entire /system mount point.
So, what are the consequences of updating ROM over a stock 4.3 rom?

TWRP 2.6.0.0 and ClockworkMod v6.0.5.3 upload pls.

can't install it
Hi ! I need help with this installation procedure, cause i put the code on the terminal emulator, and then, my cwm is deleted.. I want to try this cm rom ! Please help !

Problem with recovery
I didn't have problems before with installing any rom or recovery, I think I've passed through all of possible combinations, but this time, it's terribly buggy :/
I started from stock rom 2.3.6 XEO (as always) then installed CWM Custom Recovery "CWM-5.0.2.8_GAZZY.tar" (need some cwm to update, right?) but stock rom didn't find "flash_image" just like few other roms (arkas for ex.)
Finally Burnmode's KitKatSpecialEdition didn't alert about anything missing and it just jumped to the next line. (success I think, right?) The problem is that when I reboot into recovery it flashes a blank, black screen and reboots leaving my phone recovery-less ! What do I do wrong? Since then I tried many roms and most of them don't work anymore (no luck with cm10.2 for example, KitKat special edition works, so it's the only thing I can now run without bugs, but it's BurnMode's rom, it always works well)
I downloaded recovery.img "2014-12-04 22:43:18" which is the newest (at least now!) is there a problem with the recovery, my phone or maybe I am doing something wrong? My options are now very limited since many things crash my phone (can't flash a stock rom anymore, might be hard to do it again)

Hi
Thanks for your great work. I updated my cooper (s5830) to the latest release but my device won't boot. So I return back to the previous version.

For totoro??
Hi Sir, Im on Galaxy Y s5360 , no possibility for our totoro device?

Help!
help me when i'm trying to download cwm on github is error that i'm missing the Overall/Read permission. How can i fix it? Help

recovery
I couldnt download u recovery, u wot m8 with it i havrnt got perms, upload it normal or get REKT

Can we expect working cm12 on our devices? Or this is the end of the unofficial support?

The page is closed now. Is anybody known how long will be unable to download ROMs on this page? Are there any other links in which we can get RC14 for Callisto? Thanks for help!

Updates? LinkS?
Hi, are there any updates for Callisto?
Whats the last stable build for daily use?
LInks?

No more development since Feb '15 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58590015&postcount=261), last version seems to be
Code:
[...] 112913587 Feb 11 18:56 cm-11.0.0-GT-I5510-callisto.zip
and the server hosting the images has gone (http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/callisto/).
You may try to find a copy of the zip, check the md5sum (mine is 37c0f0fadb2f0d7444a175e42b78a84a )
Please share your findings.
BTW, 11.0-20150211 (that's how it identifies itself) is quite responsive once you've changed the CPU governor and IO scheduler settings ("Performance" menu in Settings, I'm using SmartassV2 and Deadline. Only tick "Set on boot" after a while of testing, I have seen some particular settings freeze the phone!)

I tried finding the rom and the only one i could find on the inter-webs is here but the website is paid one so i cant download and i cant check the checksum
http://chomikuj.pl/kaktus47/Telefon....0.0-GT-I5510-callisto,4616249982.zip(archive)

OK; here you go. That's what I found on my disk. No checksums, so you got to trust me, or unpack and inspect everything. (Perhaps someone else can confirm?)
https://drive.google.com/folderview...hrbmxzZFUwdTd0N1RSdTN4OHI1VzhsVlk&usp=sharing
Prerequisites:
You must have flashed CWM6 using Odin before.
Also you need a second partition on your sdcard, formatted as ext4.
Preparation:
Put the files you need on the sdcard (normal vfat partition), shut down the phone.
Charge the phone's battery.
Now the really tricky stuff (if you mastered Odin, that's just a piece of cake though):
Start the phone into recovery.
Flash the ROM image, and wipe data.
Boot into Android, install and setup s2e to use the sd-ext partition.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash the gapps package, and possibly one of the keyboard zips (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56625731&postcount=162 for those). You may have to switch off package checks in between.
Reboot into Android, and change your governor and io scheduler settings.
Done.
Edit: I've got requests to share the filespace - which should be accessible by link. I'm re-adding the URL now. Apologies to everyone who tried in vain

@steve8x8 Hi, I know it's been a long time but i hope you see this, but could you please be more specific with the steps? what files to use, what keys to press? Sorry it's been a while since i used this phone or any android phone, what odin version should i use?

Have you searched the 'net (and the archive.org) for the original 551 blog? It has/had a quite good explanation of almost everything related to this particular phone. Odin version doesn't matter much, I had used 4.34 (that was current when the instructions were written) and 4.43 IIRC, no difference. Make sure to get good instructions for the CWM flash, as this is the stage where most bricks happen.
To make things easier, I'm uploading the stuff related to the Odin step from my HD ("Odin" subfolder on GDrive), more than two years old. Use them on your own risk, and check the URLs provided.
Note that I didn't go directly for CM11, but installed CM10.2 first. I would have to read the instructions to tell whether this was actually necessary...
On the way, I upgraded the recovery (from the jenkins server that doesn't exist any longer, http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/view/Developers/job/cm-recovery/24/ of Oct 2014) to 6.0.5.3. (IIRC I did this using the terminal emulator, not Odin, but that should be possible too. I'll upload the recovery.img)
You perhaps max have to create your own Odin-flashable recovery similar to the following (again, I assume no liability at all!):
- take a .tar.md5 as starting point, and unpack it (it's just a tar with a checksum appended)
- replace the recovery.img
- create a new tar file x.tar (name it as you like)
- (cat x.tar; md5sum x.tar) >x.tar.md5
- Odin flash that
I admit it becomes more and more difficult to keep the necessary tools, files, and instructions available and in shape for devices as old as this one (I'm still confused by the "KERNEL3" series.)
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------
Quick addendum: there's a new, stagefright-fixed cm11 available for callisto, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453085&page=27 - which is currently being debugged but looks promising (see page 29 of that thread)
---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------
It seems that there's a lot of stuff still around if you search for the "galaxy-551" tag.
Bebek's GD might also be interesting (with Odin, CWM5, and more, but stopping at Gingerbread): https://docs.google.com/folderview?...SURkMEE&tid=0B-QaRW7SLPQPTHpaQXR5b1ZVMHc#list

I didn't plan to, and indeed they are still there. Is there anyone using a Callisto running CM11?

Last night I had a dream: There was a recent ROM upgrade for the Callisto (not sure whether Nougat or Oreo), and I had started to dig out all the old instructions and notes to make it happen.
Only in the morning, after having a big mug of coffee, I realized it was only a dream :'(
