I'm pleased to present my repack of the stock ROM for the HTC Vision! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know.
Remember that if you use this ROM, you do so entirely at your own risk!!
About MoDaCo stock ROM repacks
Unlike a MCR (MoDaCo Custom ROM) release, a stock ROM repack is as close to the stock ROM as possible. Only root / Superuser and an insecure boot image is added. The benefits of the repack are providing a rollback option in update zip format as well as providing an online kitchen to remove parts that are not required.
A MCR release of this ROM is also available!
Requirements
In order to use this ROM on your device, you must have a custom recovery image installed (Clockwork Mod).
THIS ROM SHOULD RUN ON BOTH THE G2 AND THE DESIRE Z!
Features
Repack of the 1.22.531.8 (OTA) ROM
Pre-rooted with su and Superuser Permissions by ChainsDD
Insecure boot image (ro.secure=0)
Changelog
Please see the post below this one for the changes in each release.
Installation
To install this ROM:
Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card
Restart your device in recovery mode
PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP FROM THE MENU
Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card
Upgrading
No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM (unless you are coming from a 'Sense' ROM), however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.
Downloads
This ROM is now available in the online kitchen - see the post below for details! In addition to the kitchen, a prebaked download is available.

Thanks
It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.
And finally...
Details on how to donate should you wish to do so are in download topic at MoDaCo.

Just When You Thought Your Favourite Dev Is Out Of Ideas... He Comes Up With This
ok so alot are complaining how we can't flash kernel away from the pc among other things (which ill get to later ), (mostly @One-X-master)
so i looked for a way to get around this and found Kexec as the answer.
Wiki said:
In computing, kexec (kernel execution) is a mechanism of the Linux kernel that allows "live" booting of a new kernel "over" the currently running kernel. kexec skips the bootloader stage (hardware initialization phase by the firmware or BIOS) and directly loads the new kernel into memory, where it starts executing immediately. This avoids the long times associated with a full reboot,and can help systems to meet high-availability requirements by minimizing downtime.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
however, with that comes managing online hardware which is somewhat problematic,
thus that prompted few people to come up with an ingenious solution called Kexec-hardboot.
Kexec-hardboot:This works by loading the kernel into memory and force restarting the phone with new kernel.
All of that with some ramdisk tweak allowed me to set a kernel at boot and restart to it,
avoiding having to flash it in the 1st place
Updating the kernel is called flashing..
A Flash is also what precedes Thunder
its also refered to as Lightning, Thus I came up with the name Kernel Lighter
Lighter= To Set Things On Fire/To Ignite (The Kernel)
Thus this is a kernel igniter
I Know, i've got to much time on my hand.
If you have a smart name, please do suggest.
Special Thanks: @Tasssadar: For His N7 Port, which made this port a breeze and for his help in debugging.
@Alex-V: Currently using his kernel as Base Kexec Kernel.
@Androguide.fr: For his recovery-less flash method.
@amarullz: For His AromaFM Source Code.

Something Went Wrong:
Let say the phone wouldnt boot during kernel update after using the app,
the best solution would be to go back to stock kernel, look at the recovery flashable zips in Extras section,
If none seem to fit, try another custom kernel
if you still had no luck booting, you should try flashing that kernel through fastboot and see if it makes any difference.
Warning!!
Note: All the zips provided are flashable through both The App & Recovery... but I recommend recovery
BUT DON'T FLASH THE KEXEC (KL.Zeus.img) KERNEL THROUGH THE APP or Recovery,
as it will continuously boot itself over and over and over again.

this works on both sense 5 and 4+
i had this running for almost a week now on sense 4+
and just moved to sense 5 and thought it will be a good time to release this.
The Stock kernel comes from sense 5 ROM
I know, but back to 4.1.1 is not a solution for me (Sense 5 is the dealbreaker with AOSP ROMs )
Another Question, if i change to AOSP, it will work too? or must we flash (an not realeased) Kexec AOSP kernel? (i ask not for me, i ask for everyone on AOSP with ORD xD )

you dont have to go back to 4.1.1, this will work with sense 5 rom
if you want to use AOSP you must follow the custom kernel guide.
Ahh, (my english is bad..) i think we misunderstand each other, i asked for an Sense 5 kernel.zip to try your "Flash kernel in Recovery" Solution, it exists not so many Kernel.zip with the "Flash Kernel Script" to flash the kernel in recovery... I hope its clear what i mean
this wiil be work on maximus 21 ?
Yes

im not 100% sure, but if you're looking for the zip, its in the 2nd post
the 1st time you must flash the kernel through fastboot AND zip through recovery,
later i will make an app that will work to replace kernels.
but even that all will require 1 flash through fastboot.
NOTE:
the zip contains to kernel, one that you flash in fastboot
one that will be copied to /data/boot/
the 1st is kexec which will boot the one in /data/boot/
Not clear enough xD, this (the kernel.zip) was not a request to you, it was an request to somebody to make me a flashable kernel zip, as an example repacked Alex-V kernel for Sense 5, to test this.
Its late here, so my explanation will suffer, sorry for that.

EDIT: Now we can flash kernel without a PC, testet and it worked.
So, we can flash kernels through the rom itself by replacing boot.img in data/boot and reboot, can't we ?
Hello Wildfire S users !
Here is the guide of the Marvellous Team, the ultimate guide that describes everything you need o play with your phone. There are many tutorials on the web about how to unlock, how to install a recovery or a rom, but none of them explains all these operations. So here, you'll learn first a few things about how Android works, you'll learn a few words of vocabulary, how to unlock, how to choose the best recovery and how to flash it, how to choose the rom you'll prefer and how to ask questions and report errors.
I just say, sorry if this tutorial lacks vocabulary and is not grammatically correct : I'm not English, I'm French, and I'm not really good in English
SUMMARY
Post #1 : Explanations, disclaimer, summary
Post #2 : Unlocking process
Post #3 : Choosing and installing your recovery
Post #4 : Choosing and installing your ROM
Post #5 : Good rules when using the forum, how to help the developer
DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible for anything that can happen to you or your phone. Everything that I say in this tutorial worked for me, and if you do everything as I say, there is no reason for you to brick your phone.
If something happens to your phone, do not even try to blame me, cause I will redirect you to this disclaimer and laugh at you
SOME EXPLANATIONS ABOUT ANDROID
Okay, let' start unlocking your phone. But do you know exactly what unlocking your phone means ?
Here are some explanations about how Android works.
First, when you power on your device, it will start the bootloader. This is like the BIOS for a PC : it checks the processor, the RAM (memory),, and it launches the system. You don't see anything at the screen when it boots, because it is quite fast. You can boot into bootloader without going to the system next by pressing Power + Volume Down (you'll maybe have to remove and replug the battery before doing that).
What's the point of booting into bootloader ? You can go then into fastboot and recovery. Fastboot is a tool that will allow you to flash some things on the unlocked phone, like another recovery, or another kernel.
The recovery is the tool you'll use the most when playing with your phone : it is like a micro-system that can modify the real Android system. For example, it is the tool you'll use when flashing roms : you can't modify the system when you're already into the system ; if you delete all Windows system files to replace them with other files, your system will crash and your PC will not boot
I spoke about the kernel. The kernel is launched by the bootloader ; it will load all the modules that are necessary for Android to work, for example the touchscreen driver, the RAM allocator, and alll. You can see when the kernel is working at boot because you have HTC written in green over a white background.
You'll need to know that for the next steps of the tutorial.

SUPPORT
As you may have heard, the Marvellous Team is about to end. thehacka1 and djolivier already have new devices. Mazer.one, Kevinjoa and I will probably get new devices soon (maybe in few months for me, I still hesitate between Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Mega).
I will however still maintain this thread, reading the answers, modifying what needs to be modified, etc. If you see I do not reply, don't worry, I'm certainly overwhelmed by work (I entered the French equivalent of college this year and I must work a lot) I will surely read your question and answer it, even if it isn't immediately. Moreover, other people of the forums will certainly answer you too
So, let's unlock your phone !
Unlocking your phone allows you to bypass the protection on the recovery and system partitions that HTC put. With an unlocked phone, you can use fastboot to flash a recovery (because the original recovery doesn't allow the user to flash anything).
Be careful ! Unlocking doesn't give you access to everything ! You can't modify the bootloader, the radio (part of the system that manages communications with network) and all the important thins of the phone. To modify these, you need to get S-OFF, and that's another problem
WHAT IS YOUR MODEL ?
There are several models of Wildfire S. The most common are marvel and marvelc. To know if you are marvel, just go intoo About phone section, you should find your model name. If it is A510e, it is marvel. If it is A510c, it is marvelc. This part of the guide is made for marvel, do not try to do these steps with a marvelc ! But the part with the choice of your rom and how to report bugs is okay for both models.
If you have a marvel, you maybe have a 2012 model. You can know that with your serial number, that should be also in the about phone section. You should have something that begins with two letters and then you should have a digit. If this is 2, you have a 2012 model and may have some problems with the unlocking process. Go directly to the part HTC Official Unlock.
INSTALL HTC DRIVERS
To unock your phone, you'll need your computer to recognize it. The best way is to install HTC Sync which automatically provides HTC drivers.
You can find HTC Sync here.
You can also download only the drivers, for example the Win7/8 64 bits version with this tutorial.
UNLOCKING WITH SIMON'S HTC UTILITY v4
So, if you have a marvel, AND NOT A 2012 MODEL, I propose you to unlock it using simon's HTC Utility (it should work too with marvelc, but I didn't test). This tool can be found here. This is pretty easy to use, even if you'll need the .NET framework to launch the program. If you do not have a marvelc, use only the unlocking feature !!!
HTC OFFICIAL UNLOCK
If you have a 2012 model, or if HTC Utility doesn't work for you, you can always try HTC Unlock method. It will work 100% but you will lose your warranty AND all your data. So, before doing anything, download SMS Backup & Restore and Super Backup and make a backup of everything.
Then go to this page, select your device and start the procedure.
Here is a guide written by @Uksus17 and translated by @niks255 :
0. Check your bootloader version in fastboot:
- If you have HBOOT 0.90.0000 - start with step 1.1.
- If you have HBOOT 1.09.0000, 1.08.0000 (or 1.03.0000) -
download and flash PG76IMG.zip via fastboot.
- If you have HBOOT 1.09.0099 - start with step 3.
1.1. Download this zip and put it to your SD card. (http://d-h.st/QwN)
1.2. Reboot your phone into bootloader (VolDown+Power) and when the checking is done press VolUp to install. After installation you must remove this file from your SD card before you continue.
2.1. Do steps 1.1 and 1.2 again with this second zip (it has the same name as the previous, but it's a different one) PG76IMG.zip. After all these steps you must have HBOOT 1.08(9).0099, which can be unlocked. (http://d-h.st/kGN)
3. Download and unpack Android.zip to your C:\ drive.
4. Make sure "USB Debugging" is checked. If it is, connect your phone to PC via USB and run Unlock.bat from Android folder on your C:\ drive.
5.1. Your phone will reboot into fastboot.
5.2. Now you will have htcdev.com opened in your browser. Now you need to register there. (Do not close command line!)
5.3. Confirm your email.
5.4. After you done step 5.3, go back to htcdev.com and log in.
6. Then go back to command line and press Enter. You must select the token the way it is selected on the picture below and copy to clipboard. DO NOT CLOSE COMMAND LINE!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7. Go back to your browser, scroll to step 10 and paste your token in form, then click submit.
8. After a while you should recieve Unlock_code.bin on your email. Save it to C:\Android.
9. Go back to command line and press Enter.
10. Now choose yes using volume buttons and power button. CAREFUL ! this operation wipes all data on internal memory, for the second time pleaase make sure you made a backup !!! (it doesn't wipe the sd card).
Good. Now, your bootloader should print *UNLOCKED*
Now let's do he real part of the job, what this tutorial has been made for.
CHOOSE YOUR RECOVERY
The choice of the recovery is very important. For the Wildfire S A510e, there are a lot of available recoveries :
ClockWorkMod 5, 6 and 6 Touch Version
TWRP 2.2.2.0 and 2.3.3.0
OWL-mod 0.1.2 (based on ClockWorkMod).
These recoveries usually are also available for non-marvel models, you can find a link to the other versions in the thread. But DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ON YOUR DEVICE A RECOVERY THAT ISN'T MADE FOR IT ! Meaning, if you want to try ClowkWorkMod 6 Touch Version, but you have a marvelc, do not flash the marvel version. Look for the marvelc version of the Internet. You could brick your device doing this
So, every recovery has a lot of advantages and also a lot of drawbacks. I will list them here.
CWM 5
It can be found here.Take the Wildfire S CDMA version for marvelc.
It is a good recovery, usually the one that everybody use. It is not a touch recovery, so you'll need to use it with volume keys and power button.
It doesn't have amazing features, but is official and working.
CWM 6
This is the newest version of ClockWorkMod recovery. It is better than CWM 5 : support of incremental backups, lighter and faster backups, new interface, etc.
You can find it here.
This one is pretty well working too, although it is not a touch recovery and even if it is not official.
CWM 6 Touch version
Like CWM 6, but using the touchscreen : better for the power button which is not made for a huge use.
The problem is that this one isn't very stable : some features do not work, the screen is strangely sized. Use it only if you want to try, but not if you just want stability.
You can find it here.
TWRP 2.2.2.0
It is another touch recovery, open source and absolutely different. It is less used and is perfectly stable. It has many more features than CWM, especially a file manager (very, very handy when you want to mod some system things without your PC).
I love it, but there is just one problem with the backups and restores : they take (for me at least) 5 more time than CWM ones. If you do not often backup/restore, that is OK, else you'll quickly get bored of waiting 30 minutes before flashing your rom.
TWRP 2.2.2.0 can be downloaded here.
TWRP 2.3.3.0
This was the latest version of TWRP available for the Wildfire S. You can download it on this website.
It is better than TWRP 2.2.2.0 but has a major problem : it cannot flash some old files. That's quite annoying when you want to try a rom and you see you can't because the rom zip file is too old :/
TWRP 2.7.0.0
This is the latest version of TWRP, built by @Olivier for our phone. It is definitely pretty cool, has loads of features and nearly no bugs. You can find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692158.
Like TWRP 2.3.3.0, it cannot flash some old files :/
OWL-mod 0.1.2
This recovery has been made especially for the Wildfire S. For now, it is pretty like CWM 6, with a few mods. But the next version looks very interesting
Here is the thread.
PhilZ recovery 6.0.2.8
Here is PhilZ recovery, a recovery which looks very much like CWM 6.0.2.8 but has some nice features. Here is the non-touch version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605331.
Then, I let you choose, try some of them and see by yourself
FLASH YOUR RECOVERY
That's easy if your bootloader is unlocked.
Download Android SDK here. Extract everything, and open cmd (Start menu - Execute - cmd). Then, in cmd, navigate to the repository you extracted everything (cd path\to\directory). Then, in this directory, go to sdk\plaform-tools.
In this folder, place the recovery file you downloaded.
Now, reboot your device in bootloader mode. Then go into fastboot. If the device is recognized you should see USB Plug on the screen.
You can now type
Code:
fastboot.exe flash recovery your_recovery_file_name.img
and voila ! You should see a loading bar on the screen, and you can reboot into recovery
THE BEST FLASHING TOOL
@Uksus17 made a pretty nice tool to help you install a recovery : just make sure USB debugging is enabled in your phone's settings, then connect it to the computer (of course, with the drivers installed - see before) and just run the .bat
You can find the script here : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nuf2pq3ay9eu7xk/7gtYOs07EN
WINDOWS 8.1
On Windows 8.1 the fastboot drivers do not work. Thus you have to use another way to install the recovery : PG76IMG. The recovery will be downloaded as a zip file that you will put at the root of your sd card. Then just reboot into bootloader (vol down + Power) and it will flash it automagically @niks255 made PG76IMG for TWRP 2.2, 2.7 and CWM 6.0.4.8. You can find it here : 2.2, 2.7, 6.0.4.8
Now, you have your recovery... Let's speak about ROMs !
WHERE TO FIND YOUR ROMS
All the ROMs for the Wildfire S are here. You'll see, there are loads of ROMs for our phone
HOW TO CHOOSE THEM
Ah, which ROM is the best... An endless debate in XDA forums !
By the way, many "noobs" post threads to know which ROM is the best, and it annoys a lot the Senior users. Here I will list the existing kinds of ROMs and what they are made for, so that you won't have to spam the forum anymore
Stock rom
There are a lot of modded stock roms. The most advanced is by @Kevinjoa, and it can be found here. Moreover, it is a Marvellous rom !!!
Advantages : Very, very fast and an excellent battery life. Easily moddable and themable.
Drawbacks : Old Android version (2.3.5 ).
Sense 3.5 rom
These roms are based on the same Android version as stock rom, but with the latest Sense version (for Android 2.3). The fastest rom for the Wildfire S is EQDKP 5.2. There is also Marvellous Sense 3.5, and many other roms.
Advantages : Very fast, and good battery life. A very beautiful UI.
Drawbacks : one or two bugs. Old Android version (2.3.5).
CyanogenMod 7.2
CyanogenMod (cm) is the ultimate rom for all phones. It is based on pure Android (AOSP) and has a few more good features.
Advantages : very fast and an excellent battery life. Some mods that makes you forget that you have an old Android version : notification swipe-to-clear, flac support. Very themable : a lot of versions exist in the forum, modded to look like Sense 4, and all.
Drawbacks : a few bugs. Old Android version (2.3.7)
CyanogenMod 9.1
This is the Android 4.0.4 version of CyanogenMod. It is an excellent rom.
Advantages : Android 4 ICS. Very themable and moddable.
Drawbacks : it slows down the phone and has some bugs.
CyanogenMod 10
This is the Android 4.1.2 version of CyanogenMod, and is also a very good rom. Many versions exist in the forum, with a lot of mods and some derivated os.
Advantages : Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Very themable and moddable, with many derivated versions.
Drawbacks : few space in /system, so you can't install full Google apps (see later in the tutorial). It feels slow sometimes. It has some bugs.
CyanogenMod 10.1
The 4.2.2 version of CyanogenMod.
Advantages : supported by OWL team. Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Very themable too.
Drawbacks : very few space in /system. Also it is definitely slow. And it has bugs.
CyanogenMod 10.2
The 4.3.1 version of CyanogenMod.
Advantages : supported by Team Simplicit. Android 4.3.1 Jelly Bean. Very themable too.
Drawbacks : Well, there are very few features compared to CyanogenMod 10.1 And very few space in /system. Also it is definitely slow. And it has bugs, mostly sensors and camera.
CyanogenMod 11
The 4.4.2 version of CyanogenMod.
Advantages : supported by Team Simplicit. Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Very themable and has few bugs. It is faster than than previous versions thanks to Android optimization.
Drawbacks : There is few space in /system, and camera doesn't work.
Paranoid Android
Paranoid Android is a rom based also on pure Android but without cyanogenmod modificactions. We have two versions : Android 4.1 and 4.2. Both have bugs. The interesting features are in the per-app personnalisation feature : you can choose the size of each app, apply some statusbar colors per-ap, etc. Paranoid Android 3+ (Android 4.2) also has Pie feature and Halo.
Advantages : per-app functionnalities. Halo and Pie.
Drawbacks : bugs. Less features than CyanogenMod. few space in /system
MIUI
If you're a nostalgic of Sense, MIUI is for you. We have MIUI based on Android 2.3, 4.0 and 4.1. It is Android modded to be more beautiful.
Advantages : very beautiful UI.
Drawbacks : slow, and only in English.

AOKP is based on pure Android and offers some new features like CyanogenMod. We have AOKP 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.
Advantages : good personnalisation features.
Drawbacks : bugs and few space in /system.
AOSP
AOSP is the very pure Android with no bonus features.
Advantages : The one we have, by @thehacka1, is very fast.
Drawbacks : few space in /system, no CyanogenMod features.
PAC-man
PAC-man is the ultimate rom for people who want loads of features, or basically for those who do not know which to choose between CyanogenMod, AOKP and AOSPA (Paranoid Android). It offers features from all these three roms.
Advantages : so many features ! Android 4.2
Drawbacks : No camera. For me, extremely fast battery drain.
OmniROM
A modded AOSP 4.4.2 KitKat.
Advantages : supported by Team Simplicit. Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Has a lot of nice features. It is faster than than previous versions thanks to Android optimization.
Drawbacks : There is few space in /system, and camera doesn't work.
The best way to choose your rom is to test all of them. But you certainly don't have time for that.
If you want performance, choose Sense 2.1/3.5 or cm7.
If you want a good UI, choose Sense 2.1/3.5 or MIUI.
If yu want the latest Android, choose cm10.1 or AOKP 4.2
If you want a lot of features, choose PAC-man
And remember : you never need to flash any kernel except if the rom developer tells you so ! The rom already contains the good one
GOOGLE APPS
When you've downloaded a rom, you'll also need to download google apps if they are not installed. They are installed in Sense and MIUI roms, but not always in other roms (the hread usuallly says it).
You can find the gapps package for your Android version at goo.im/gapps - only for Android < 4.1. For Android 4.1 use these lite gapps, and Android 4.2 use these ones. Sometimes, a link to gapps is provided in the rom thread. Use this link instead of mine.
HOW TO FLASH
Just put the rom zip and the gapps zip in your sdcard, boot into recovery, make a backup, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system and sd-ext (if you can) and select install zip from sdcard then go to your rom zip and flash. After that flash your gapps zip without any wipe.
Yoou can then reboot. Be careful, it can take some time.
INCREASE INTERNAL MEMORY
As you may have seen, the stock rom has very few space for apps. You can increase it with Int2Ext
First you must partition your sd card. You can use a tool like gparted. Reduce the size of the existing fat32 partition and create a new partition in ext4 format. Note : make sure you've done a backup of your sd card data ! This will erase all data on your sd card.
Then you can go to this page and choose the script that is made for you. Flash it right after gapps without any wipe.
In my mind, Int2ExtV2+ is the best. But it needs 150 MB of storage for 500 Mb of ext4 partition. Int2Ext or Int2Ext4 do not need that, but will slow down the phone a lot, even if you have a good sd card.
ABOUT BRICKING YOUR PHONE
A lot of people, when they start playing with their phone, are afraid to brick it, meaning that it doesn't work anymore and can go straight to trash. That is normal, I was thinking that too But the risks are very low. If you are not S-OFF, it is difficult to brick your phone. I flashed more than 150 roms, installed kernels that didn't work, change 10 times of recovery and I never experienced a brick.
There are two kinds of bricks : softbrick and hardbrick. If your phone is softbricked, you can still go into recovery, wipe everything and install a new rom. If your phone is hardbricked, hmmm... there are very few chances of recovery, because it doesn't boot anymore
Let's talk about support now !
WHERE TO POST A QUESTION
It is easy : when you have a problem with a rom, post it right in the rom thread. Do not create a thread in General section with your problem. If you can't post in the rom thread, or if your problem is very specific, or just if nobody answered you in the rom thread, then post in Q&A section. NEVER IN GENERAL ! general sections is for threads that are not about a mod, a rom, a kernel, a recovery, an accessory or a question. For example, this guide
When you have a problem, people will often ask you to give them a logcat. But what is it ?
HOW TO LOGCAT
The logcat is the command that gives you all the informations about the system in real time, errors, warnings, or just debug info. When you have a problem and if you create a post or a thread about it, try to provide a logcat. This is easy !
In cmd, navigate to the repertory where fastboot.exe was. Plug your device to your computer. Usually Android debug is activated by default, you can verify in your phone's parameters. It depends on the Android version, but for Android >= 4.0 it is in Develper tools and for Android < 4.0 it is in the app menu, in the development section.
Now type
Code:
adb logcat
: you should see a lot of text. Don't worry if you understand nothing ! Just give everything to the people who ask you for the logcat. Then follow their instructions
Advice by @csoulr666 :
For a better and cleaner logcat you can do
Code:
adb logcat -v long
And if you want to put it in a text file
Code:
adb logcat -v long >logcat.txt
Then just upload the file It is easier to read and doesn't spam the thread (very difficult to scroll when you're on your phone ). Moreover with that you do not get into troubles with the character limit.
Just a precision about Android >= 4.2. You can't logcat on first boot, because of a new thief-protection feature. You'll need to boot, to plug the phone to the computer, make sure you have the latest adb installed (adb version - it must be 0.1.31 or more) and when you try to connect to the device, a popup will appear and prompt for adb access. Reply yes, and check the remember box, and now here you are, yu can logcat with this rom !
If you still want to logcat on first boot, you can use this guide (thanks to @thehacka1 !).
RESPECT THE DEVELOPER
A rom developer is a human being He has the right to sleep and to work and to have fun ! Do not ask for updates of the rom everytime, and don't bame him if he disappears from the thread for a few days... The more you ask for updates, the less he wants to make them
Do not forget to press thanks button when you think the dev deserves it ! Do not just post "thanks"
As you may have heard, the Marvellous Team is about to end. thehacka1, djolivier and Kevinjoa already have new devices.

For logcat you also need your device's drivers. And don't forget 4.2.2 can't be logcated.

Device drivers have already been installed if you unlocked your bootloader And 4.2.2 can be logcated, it just cannot be at first boot... But you're right, they may need to logcat on first boot. Could you please give me the link of your tutorial to get ADB working on first boot on 4.2.2 please ?

Welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Ace II x / GT-S7560M Unofficial FAQ!
-The Galaxy TREND GT-S7560 is also supported-
==>THIS IS AN OUTDATED PHONE AND THE LINKS/FILES BELOW MAY OR MAY NOT BE THERE ANYMORE<==
!!SEE POST #2 BELOW FOR LINKS
Frequently Asked Questions:
1- "Flash with CUSTOM RECOVERY (TWRP/CWM)" : If you still have the stock recovery, download and use Daver18qc's Root Kit Below to install a custom recovery from the CUSTOM RECOVERIES header in post #2.
2- "Flash with ODIN" : ODIN is inside Daver18qc's Root Kit *With Detailed Instructions* below.
3- "Push with ADB" : You need to download and install Android's Development Kit and then refer to the small tutorial below !
4- If you've got problems with ODIN or ADB, make sure that you have USB Debugging Enabled under Settings > Developer Options.
--Make sure you have only 1 device showing in ODIN (Only 1 little square filled at the top-left)
--Also make sure Kies.exe is not running on the computer!
5- There are custom ROMs, such as CyanogenMOD 10 and 11, OmniROM 4.4, and more. There is no Lollipop ROM just yet, though it is slowly being worked on. A lot of work is needed to update our device code for Lollipop. You can find links to different custom ROMs for our device in post #2.
6- There is NO free method to UNLOCK SIM yet.
7- If you want to flash any deodexed rom with a custom recovery, you must first flash the complete corresponding ROM from SamMobile. That means deodexed Guatemala need to be flashed over Guatemala, not over Panama or Canada. Same goes for deodexed Australia.
8- If you get a Yellow warning triangle on boot after flashing something, use TriangleAway to remove it and reset the flash counter to 0. (On the page, use the provided TriangleAway apk file available for download at the bottom of the first post)
9- Flashing a ROM from Guatemala or Australia will not change your service provider, you will stay with Bell/Koodo/Rogers even if these companies don't exist in Guatemala.
10- Sometimes when flashing ROMS, your carrier will show as "Bell" even though you are on Virgin / Solo, this is normal as these are 2 sub-companies of Bell.
11- When you flash ANYTHING with a custom recovery, be sure to Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache (advanced menu) before rebooting.
12- For ANY kind of flashing from a Windows computer, you will need the Samsung USB Drivers first and foremost, before doing anything else. If you're on Linux/Ubuntu, install Heimdall and search for tutorials for how to use it on XDA or Google.
13- If you have the Galaxy Trend GT-S7560 and CWM freezes while flashing a custom rom, then re-cook the rom inside the Kitchen with these tweaks:
Code:
For galaxy trend s7560
When building rom in kitchen, select Interactive Mode(1). after zipaling;
1. edit META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in working folder and change " format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16"); " to " format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16", "0", "/system"); "
2. extract cm11 for ace 2x and replace META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary from cm11 to your rom
======================================END OF FAQ=============================================
Short Tutorials :
Buttons combinations (phone must be shutdown before !)
Download Mode : VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER
Recovery Mode : VOLUME DOWN+VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER
How to "Push with ADB" :
Install the Android Development Kit
Goto "platform tools" folder
Open a command prompt
Connect your phone with USB cable and USB Debugging enabled (developer settings)
Type in the command prompt:
-adb remount
-adb push "yourfilename" "/your/destination"
-adb reboot
example: "adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/"
How to flash with ODIN :
-If your ROM is zipped, unzip it to a folder until you got a ".TAR.MD5" file
-Load up ODIN
-Shutdown your Phone
-Boot your Phone in Download Mode
-Plug in your USB cable, Odin should recognize the Phone and fill up a small square at the top left.
-Make sure only "F.Reset Time", "Auto Reboot" and "PDA" are check-marked in ODIN
-Load up your ".TAR.MD5" in the PDA section of ODIN
-Flash, wait for ODIN to tell you (Succeeded : 1, Failed : 0)
-Done.
How to flash CM11 (CyanogenMod11) by Alex150892 :
1.Install Australia MH3 stock rom with Odin
2.Download Root Kit and follow instructions inside (follow it carefully from beginning to the end)
3.Open cwm recovery and Wipe data/cache,and also wipe dalvik cache
4.Install CyanogenMod 11
5.Install 4.4 Gapps
6.(optional) Install ba2x kernel for CyanogenMod 11
7.Reboot and enjoy...
Note that first boot will take a while,so leave it for ~10mins
Links:
------CUSTOM ROMS-------
Note: None of the custom ROMs are bug-free. Some of them are more stable and bug-free than others though. Some common bugs among all the ROMs are lack of full camera resolution (the rear camera only captures images at 3MP instead of the 5MP in Stock ROM) and lack of bluetooth (our chipset doesn't support the newer bluetooth method used in Android 4.2+).

Modified stock firmware "Stock II X Plus" by Codename13. It is deodexed, rooted, has init.d functionality, has ADB support, doesn't overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one, and other misc. changes, plus it shouldn't trigger the triangle flash counter.
If you install a stock ROM/firmware over a custom ROM and you get a bootloop, meaning you probably forgot to wipe data, and you're unable to boot to recovery, flash this package (by Codename13) with Odin to wipe your data partition, which should allow you to boot into the stock ROM.

BA2X (Better Ace 2 X) 2.0 for Stock ROM by Codename13 UNSUPPORTED
SeannyM's Overclocked/Modded Kernels For Stock ROM(Flash with CUSTOM RECOVERY) UNSUPPORTED (I think)
[/B]-A vast range of frequencies to choose from, you can start with 1094mhz and if your phone is stable and doesn't reboot on it's own you can then go up a couple more until you get to a point where your phone won't boot, then you need to go back down in frequencies.
Most people seem to hit a wall around 1248mhz.
-To take full advantage of this Kernel, you should install No-Frills CPU Control
--Set the maximum frequency to the maximum possible
--Set the minimum to 240 or 320
--Set the governor to SmartAssV2
--Set the I/O sheculer to VR

Dsixda's KITCHEN
You can deodex and customize almost any ROM made for this phone using this version of the Kitchen.
You will need a computer running Linux, either on the hard drive or in a virtual machine inside Windows.
You will need extensive knowledge of the Linux commands as everything is inside a terminal (a kind of MS-DOS command prompt)
If you don't know what Linux is, don't bother, this is out of your reach and nobody will teach you here.
Learn it somewhere else and come back here when you know where you're going with this.
DOWNLOAD 0.223 KITCHEN
DOWNLOAD EDIFY_DEFS FILE
-(The EDIFY_DEFS file is necessary to make a working ROM, you will softbrick your phone if you don't put this file inside your edify-defs folder in the kitchen folder.)
MANY THANKS TO : SeannyM, jonypx09, Codename13, OstrichX and all the others who made this possible!

Unfortunately, the links on that site seem broken too... unless its me and i cant get them to work...
looking with the code "S7560MUBAMG2" i found a version PBS, CPA and TCP (panama, panama and mexico), all three have the same build date and change list numbers (05.07.2013 and 1230914)...
im downloading PBS version, its a 532mb file, is that right?... no wonder the device sucks that much... that image is bigger than the stock for my the TF300t... this **** is bloated
is this the same image as guatemala?
Can't seem to find the PGU anywhere... all links are to hotfile (which seems dead) or broken
thanks anyway...
i wanted to test the slimbean rom but guess i'll have to wait a while then...
the device is slow, but rather have a slow phone than a bricked one for not following the procedure right

AIUI, you don't need to use MG2. Try the third link (XSA) which will give you three options to download the MH3 firmware for Australia. That has three working download links.

You did it, since flashing with CWM puts the SUPERUSER program inside the phone. So if you have that, then you have indeed flashed with CWM, because it is the only way to flash the root package!
The instructions in the root kit apply to any other update/package that you want to flash with CWM.

@mertonv:
Use Australia MH3 instead. SAMMOBILE got their hosting server shut down so the links for stock firmware are invalid, but they are supposed to get fixed soon, i hope.
EDIT: The Australia Stock ROM link works at the moment, maybe you didn't LOG IN / REGISTER on SAMMOBILE before trying to download and that's why you don't see anything, but at this time, it works !
Bluetooth and Camera still broken/buggy?
Can anyone confirm that there isn't a custom ROM (10.2 or 11) where there are issues with Bluetooth and the camera? I know the FAQ says there are issues but that was in October.
Service
Since flashing CM 10.2, I haven't been able to get service and if somehow I manage I only get it temporarily. Can someone explain as to why?
Downloading Australia MH3

It's been tested and it's safe, aside from the extremely slim risk of bricking your device while using Triangle Away (but I've never heard of anybody doing this). Chainfire hosts a free version here on XDA, although being free, it doesn't include every feature. But it works well enough.
there is any application or rom that Turn the hardware buttons light up when I have Missed calls or message?
ACE 2
thanks

If you are indeed using an Ace 2, we can't help you. This thread is one of the few for the Galacy Ace II X, a completely different device, other than similiar sounding names.
Speaking of BLN, I remember having recently seen an app that mimicks it very well. I'll message you if I remember what it was called.
For the BA2X 2.0, I'm working on implementing BLN in the kernel along with some other things. Our devices don't have the same kernel, but I could possibly create a universal BLN diff for others. I'm trying to diff a BLN module source for the Galaxy R and Captivate, so hopefully I can get it working.

So is the Kitkat update still being worked on or not? You say its being worked on in the first post but later say he's stopped. Also, are the bugs listed in black from flashing to Jelly Bean?
And lastly, can I use the Ace 2 GT-I8160 method of getting Kitkat for my ace 2x?

You're using an Ace 2 GT-I8160? This thread is for Galaxy Ace II X GT-S7560M. The two devices are completely different. The only reason that us Ace II X users use the Ace 2 forums is because the names are somewhat similiar. However, don't let that similiarity ruse you.
any kitkat?
Any chance that kitkat makes its way to this phone?...
If it were too... which stock should i load to my phone to be compatible with that?
Which custom rom on jb is the least buggy right now?
Thanks!

Sexy kernel question
Hello . Is it possible to create a version of the set selinux permissive . Alternatively, if there is any init.d script that is changing. Greetings

Hello,
I did it and i can share if you want but you better use init.d to do this:
Create a file named 07setpermissive in /etc/init.d folder with inside this simple code, and give 755 permission to this file (with a root explorer).
Code:
#!/system/sh
setenforce 0
Reboot, and it's done (SELinux is set to "permissive"). If you want to disable it, you can tape in a terminal emulator;
Code:
su
setenforce 1
If you really need, i can share the same thing done in ramdisk.
I would be grateful for it
For many people this will be useful . I would appreciate it if he had se linux kernel permessive

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but the scripts in the init.d do not work, so it just me . I created a script to test init.di was not a log file . When installed with supermarket universal program init.d script then she began to move. I installed both kernels and nothing

Did you give the right permissions to your script?
What does this script (code)?
permission is ok
Script :
#!/system/bin/sh
echo init.d is working >> / storange /emulated/0/initdsupport.txt
Using the program -> script starts , uninstall the program and stops working script
Sorry for bad english

Try to write in /data, it should work
echo "init.d is working" >> /data/initdsupport.txt
None of this after the change does not work still , but with the application from google play test log appears and init.d works. I give up. If I ask for a hint
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d&hl=pl
with this application works

It didn't work because the path of sdcard is not good in your script.
If you want to write log in sdcard (internal storage) the code must be
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "init.d is working" >> /mnt/sdcard/initdsupport.txt
instead of your
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "init.d is working" >> /storage/emulated/0/initdsupport.txt
I just tested it, and it works well with my moded 20p ramdisk, without need of another system mod.
You just have to use /mnt/sdcard instead of /storage/emulated/0
App you are talking about is an emulation of init.d (not real init.d, as ramdisk supports), it uses install-recovery.sh.

Can I install any of these kernels over one of your previous 5.x ROMs ( such as Androidnow HD). Or do I need to install the entire new ROM ?
If I can install just the kernel then do I need to root it ?
Many thx

Hi,
I don't know if i understand well your questions.
I didn't test all possibles combos (all possibles shared stock or based stock) roms with these kernels (ramdisks) moded, i think you can understand that
You can easily test it and report the result if you want, I (we) 'll be interested to read this.
For that, you need to know how to flash a kernel (custom recovery is the best solution), how to backup the one you used before, how to boot on custom recovery with hard key for eventually restoring this one you backuped before, how to quit a secure boot error screen (removing battery) that you can meet with a bad kernel, and, of course, that root is really needed for doing all of that.

Hi 6ril1 and thank you for your response.
I probably wasn't very clear. What I wanted to know is whether I can install just the 20p kernel on phone which has a rom with an earlier kernel (like 20i or similar). Would the 20p kernel have any issues with a ROM designed for an earlier kernel. Up to know I used Seven's Androidnow HD ROM but unfortunately he has pull out support for newer ROMs due to some asshat distributing his ROMs without consent. The last ROM he had was 14 but it wasn't fully optimised. I am using his earlier 10.3 Androidnow HD ROM. So I was wondering if your 20p kernel will work ok with having to install a whole new ROM.
Cheers

Hi,
Just try it, after the usual precautions (Make kernel backup before in custom recovery. It means backup boot partition)
Flash kernel, and if it doesn't work on your rom, restore the last one you backuped, that's all
I tried it with an older lp stock with succes (these moded boot worked with older stock firmware).
As i answered you before, if you have a security error screen (following by a black screen without any possible acces) on boot with the new kernel, remove battery, reboot in custom recovery with hard key combo (=> buttons power + volume down, release when logo appears, and again power + vol down, until custom recovery acces appears), and restore your previous kernel that worked. As simple like that
Of course, prerequisite is that you have twrp installed.
