[4.4.2] AOSP MMS - Fully Customizable with IOS Emojis

[4.4.2] AOSP MMS - Fully Customizable with IOS Emojis - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

This is for touchwiz 4.4.2.
For developers wanting to add this to their ROMs feel free. Give credit to the people I did though and not me. All I did was refind my favorite mms.apk and use Kryten2k35's files with both of their permission. If you experience the bug just reflash the zip.
Instructions
1. Download the zip
2. Flash in recovery
3. This will take care of everything for you and wipe your messages as well as make a backup on your sdcard shall you want to return to stock.

Bugs
"Service not available" when retrieving or sending picture messages. This seems to be random. With a fresh install it will either produce the problem or it won't. This is the best solution I have for this rare bug.
If messages aren't sending or even appearing when you send them go into settings > more > set "messaging" as default app.
For screenshots of what this looks like and more info about the actual app check the original thread out here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...p-custom-mms-apk-make-update-3-10-14-t2536197
Thanks to loserskater for this guide that me and Kryten2k35 both have used. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086834
Thanks to Kryten2k35 for the modified mms-common.jar to make this work and his install script that makes a backup for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17th-july-aosp-mms-samsung-roms-t2819411
Thanks to Cuzz1369 for his post with the customizable mms.apk and fernandezhjr for fixing this apk to work for 4.4.2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...p-custom-mms-apk-make-update-3-10-14-t2536197
Thanks to the original creators of this mms.apk, Team Baked who made this modded apk for the Galaxy Nexus for Xylon ROM.

[Request] Stock MMS app with emoji support

Looking for a complete stock MMS app that isn't themed with emoji support (like the cm10 one that was recently released). Anyone have this available? I use another ROM atm and emoji support isn't supported right now, and I prefer the stock look.

Mods please close thread. I was able to solve/find my request.

Where
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Please share it with us ...

Alright what I did was downloaded the cm10 Kang fits made and found the mms.apk in the system files. It works perfectly for bamf paradigm, but I can't confirm for any other Roms. This is cm10 work so I take no credit whatsoever for it. I would like to also mention I did this with a toro/verizon device so I can't verify if it works for GSM (even though it should).
How to install:
Using root explorer, go to system > app and find your current mms.apk and rename it to mms.apk.bak (do this step in case the new mms doesn't work, so you can rename your old apk back just in case.)
Move the downloaded apk in this post to the same folder which is system>app folder.
Restart your phone and it should be installed and working.
Edit: forgot to mention that once the MMS is installed to turn on emoji support under the MMS settings in the bottom. Any questions ask away.

It doesn't work on stock JRC03C, force closes.

Hopefully people don't get upset about me replying to an old thread but I used the above Mms.apk and found that it didn't have CM10's "Quick Reply" so I copied over the emoji pngs used by Gja88 into the newer CM10 MMS app.
Since this was the only thread that I could find with the non-Android-ified emoji I will put up my Mms.apk too. This has no Android creature emojis (instead they all look like the emoji on the iPhone) and it has CM10's QuickMessage feature.
Thank you Gja88 & CM10 for the original leg-work here, please read Gja88's earlier posts. I have only tested it on my LTE GNex running CM10 M2

[ROM] Mi-Roid {PORT} MiuiAndroid v2.11.30 w/ Control Panel

I proudly present to you...... Mi-Roid
Mi-Roid is my port of the crespo MIUIAndroid weekly build with many additions, tweaks and mods added together for a great user experience. If there’s something you'd like added in feel free to post or pm me
For those of you wondering what Miui is.... that is a hard thing to describe but in a genreality it is a complete rebuild of android based on AOSP from the ground up. It has a build in theme manager that makes Cyanogen's look like childs play, you can change almost any little thing instead of applying an entire theme or you can apply an entire theme. It has build in virus scanning, autostart app control, flashlight app and all the goodies of cyanogen or other AOSP roms but in a whole new fashion. It is sort of IPhoneish but still feels like android not some apple product. If you dislike the launcher feel free to download any of your standard favourite launchers and use them, it'll free up some memory too.
Check out this video showing what Miui is
A few of my favorite features are listed below:
**While on the lockscreen if you press and hold home the flashlight will turn on for 30sec
**While on the homescren if you long press home the memory manager comes up to clear/free up memory
I plan on updating by Sunday night or Monday morning following the friday release of each weeks build. This will give me a few days to make sure the basics are working and to try and add features as i work a lot during the week and weekend gotta survive this cruel world somehow
If you have issues or questions please post them up here as someone may be able to help you on the forum before i check my PM's or get online to read/post.
Please Read the rest of this post and the ones below it for all info regarding issues and install before asking a question, i know it's pointless to ask this but maybe it'll save me one headache and at least one noob a thrasing from the senior members.

Previous Builds - will be posted soon
Install and Setup Directions Below in 2nd Post
Common Issues, Solutions and FAQ in 3rd Post

I advise doing a complete wipe for each build and not "dirty" flashing each weeks new build as this could cause issues.
If you are already running Miui you can also use the included backup tool to backup your apps and data, beware that this app does not backup paid for apps, so for example it will backup Titanium Backup but not the Pro Key so you'll have to download some apps via the market again
**Install Instructions***
1) Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data
2) Download the latest Mi-Roid version and place at the "Root" of your SD Card
3) Boot into Clockwork or whatever recovery you use and make a backup
4) Do a complete wipe, this would be your dalvik cache, cache, data, system, & boot.
5) Select the Install zip from SD option
6) Select the latest Mi-Roid version you just downloaded
6a) ***Optional*** Install Kernel Of Choice
7) Once install is completed reboot the system and let it boot up
8) After the system has booted up you can reboot into Clockwork and restore your data
***** BEWARE THERE IS A 30 SECOND TO 1 MINUTE LONG BLACK SCREEN BEFORE THE MIUI.US BOOT IMAGE COMES ON. THIS IS NORMAL, JUST WAIT A MINUTE AND YOU'RE BOOT UP WILL START****
***Things to do Upon 1st boot***
-Open MiuiStats from the pulldown and save the preferance to enable reporting, this lets Miui know we're using their ROM and to keep making it for us
-Open the Download Manager and go into the Settings and set the warning limit to 50mb and then turn off the Data download prompt to stop the market not letting you download huge apps. it will only give you a warning to use wifi on files over 50MB, but if uncheck the download on wifi only button and click proceed it'll download even those.
-Open the Play Store and sign into your Google Account
-While everything is Syncing open up Settings and select your google account. Select the option "Location &Settings" and turn it on. This will allow Google Maps and all other Google Services to use GPS for location locks, if you don't do this then GPS will work for all other apps but Google ones
-Open the Permission Manager, this is Superuser for Miui, and click on Manager root apps and turn it on or else your apps won't get superuser permissions. there is a series of 4 or 5 questions it asks before you click accept to root access on apps, so beware.
-Download the following apps
- Voodoo Sound
- Script Manager - this is for supercharging
-Open the Camera as the 1st start up takes a few seconds to a minute to initialize and sometimes it will fc and you'll need to open it again and wait
-Reboot into Clockwork, fix permissions, and Enjoy MI-Roid
****Optional**** Open Script Manager and supercharge your phone - see the FAQ for some important info on supercharging do's and don'ts
-Reboot and Enjoy MI-Roid
I'll post more as i think about it and get to the FAQS section below later tonight and i have screen shots too, just very tired from porting the toolbox and work this weekend

*****FAQS******
Q) What Kernel Is Included with this Rom?
A) Matrix CFS v24
Q) Do I need to flash gapps over this?
A) Nope, the google account framework is included as well as the latest PlayStore.apk, just download whatever apps you want from the Play Store. However here is a link the latest GAPPS working on Miui
Q) When I Send A Text Over 160 characters the reciepient gets a garbled message
A) This won't happen anymore because i modified the app to convert a sms to an MMS as soon as you hit the 160 character limit
Q) How Do I Supercharge My Phone
A) Go here to and download the latest version from zeppelinrox's thread, be sure to thank him too. Once you have downloaded the latest v6 script place it at the "Root" of your SD card. Open up script manager, be sure to give it root access. Select the v6 supercharger scipt and mark the little su icon to run it as su. Click on run, and follow the on screen instructions.
*****This is very important, when setting up your drivers options, do not, i repeat DO NOT select to apply the "Miscellaneous Tweaks & 3G Enhancements", a better version of these are in my init.d scripts!!!!! You also don't need to apply the wheel alignment either as that is another script already provided****
Q) I see lots of apps running when i first start my phone and don't want some of them running
A) Go into the Security Center folder and open the App Manager app, you can use it to select what apps and their services start and run in the background at boot
Q) The stock lockscreen is laggy
A) Yes it is, this is widely known in the Miui community, but it has a plethora of options built into it. If you want a faster one download any v4 theme and go into the theme manager under the mix section and apply it. The same goes for just about any thing or apperance you don't like about stock Miui, you can apply whole themes or just select parts

Nice work. gonna have to try this

Do you need Miui gapps from the site or any gapps will do?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

you don't need gapps, the google framework for google accounts and playstore are included, any other gapps can be downloaded from the market. do not flash gapps from CM or other AOSP roms as you'll get a few apps that shouldn't be there
if for some reason someone needs a certain gapp let me know, but this is the NS4G a CDMA phone only available in the US so we shouldn't have any restrictions on apps

Great work. Thanks for the port.. I've been waiting to try out a JB build of MIUI. You just made my weekend.

No problem, the JB version of Miui is quite nice. if you are going to flash a custom kernel i had the least amount of issues with Mathkids Matrix v23, it has voodoo sound and blinking BLN built in. I just updated my FAQ post but i have had severe issues with several of the other kernels in terms of bluetooth and battery drain so beware

Wow.. finally someone port jb miui for nexus s 4G, thank you
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Awesome... I love MIUI...

Can anyone post some screenshots?

Not bad! Going to give a run through.. Seems fine so far.
Screenshots attached as requested. This is right after first boot.

This looks AWESOME! I went back to stock jellybean, but I'm going to root and install this later! How does battery life seem so far? Yeah, yeah, I know, give it a couple of days for the kernel to settle, but still... xD

Can anyone trying this confirm if 4g works?

And battery.. Way too early to tell. I'm only an hour into using it.

Will you be releasing an add on pack. For DPI etc ....

haven't used miui in awhile does it still show high usage when u kill apps going to try when i get home wat kernel is everybody using thanks

sick. thanks for the confirmation.. on rasbean now but may have to give this a go....i miss miui and the ics version was crap, but the gb version didnt have 4g.

It's a little "heavy" feeling but MIUI isn't exactly a lightweight ROM so I expected that.. I had tried the ICS version and it was unbearable slow.. So far this is pretty damn good all things considering (feature filled custom JB ROM on 2 year old phone)

Nice ROM at lease jellybean miui is fast & smooth when compared to miui ICS which was way to laggy but miui is not my cup of tea I'm rocking Rasbean

[ROM]ECHOE V12 S.E.P-TW-4.3-MK2/AnyCarrier-SS-KNOXfree-CLEAN-FAST-THEMED-gogoliePORT

After receiving the go ahead from friedrich420 to go ahead with this port I decided to get it out quick. I'm not sure if that'd make it official or not I'll have to see.
Gogolie'sROM Port:ECHOE V12 See.Emily.Play.-TW-4.3-MK2/AnyCarrier-SS-KNOXfree-CLEAN-FAST-THEMED-OFFICIALPORTROM - SAFESTRAP (Install to any slot and restore to Stock slot too! Compatible with VZW - AT&T - TMO and can be installed on MDK/MDL and should be any phone with TWRP recovery.
original vzw port thread (post questions there or search actual rom's thread for more info)
If you dont know ECHOE get familiar (read the 1400 page thread.). This version features a cool Floyd theme. Restore it to your stock slot in Safestrap or to any slot you like or restore it with TWRP/Philz any recovery that is TWRP compatible should work. AT&T and other carriers may need to flash your MK2 modules or add in TMO APN / AT&T APN settings to get this beast working 100%. If that didn't fix your problem then you need to install the GSM / LTE carrier modem (just guessing that your GSM if you can't get this going as thats been only complaint of lost data and he was able to fix it with proper carrier modem).
Known issues/Not Working (only for select users):
No issues exist if phone is setup properly. however...
If it doesnt work for you I'm sorry your best bet if your on VZW is SS with something else installed stock slot would be mk2/mj7 stock odin, reroot, ss,(I go to MK2 as I have best speeds and benchmarks with it) n I know it will work flawlessly if rooted and setup as described cause I've used this ROM package on 7 phones for clients (1 AT&T, 2 TMOs one with mdl bootloader and one with locked and 4 VZWs).... enjoy took me some time to put together so if it works thank me or better yet donate so you can see updates and more roms!
Due to packaging restraints and installation issues a familiar format like .zip is not available yet but will be soon. Until then please use the TWRP/SS restore option as its a more viable install and can be restored onto any slot including Stock through Safestrap. If someone wants to help the cause please install this through philztouch then create a zip from the rom do not flash anything else over the rom and upload the zip and PM me the link it'd help me out a lot!
Lil about me: I'm a now broke, technically I'm disabled (w/ 4 crushed discs in spine the gov says I'm too young to get disability and shouldn't admit that MMJ medicine works for me they=heartless pricks)I'm a full time single parent of a 1 yr old so I don't get a lot of time for my passions anymore. ex award winning programmer (lost the love for it, be sure to copyright anything you intellectually own especially when it comes to working with G or MS. they'll steal your everything claim you signed it over and hang you out to dry) now i'm just a fellow android lover with a knack for making things work when they normally won't, experimenting, coding,scripting, anything I feel like doing so if this or any of my other creations or additions to your phone helped you in any way help keep my kid in fresh diapers or put a beer in my hand please. Anything is better than nothing I have spent countless hours learning testing and everything in between to bring you cool stuff like this. Thanks!
Install:
Unzip into your new SS backup dir into your backup Safestrap folder in a folder like gogolies-echoe12v3 make sure all files are simply in 1 folder and that folder is in your backup directory and restore to a ***blank/newly created or STOCK*** rom slot. I went super small as small as SS would allow for slot creation. If your getting an error on restoring be sure to try deleting the slot and re-adding it then restoring the system files. If your WiFi doesn't work try flashing MJ7 or MK2 SS modules but only flash modules after 1st booting up rom and knowing wifi isnt working. 1st boot takes time plz allow a minute after loading up 1st time.

3a. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Backup
2. Recommended Recovery: PhilZ Touch
3. You need to do a clean install!!! Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe System (In Philz recovery use the Following Options: Wipe Data/ Factory Reset/ Clean to Install a New Rom) and then Install Zip (from either external or internal SD depending on where you chose to save the Rom)
4. The installation process takes between 3-5 minutes. Let it do its job Also the 1st boot also takes 3-5 minutes. I would also recommend that before the initial setup, you dont do anything to your phone for 5 minutes... Let it settle and then proceed with the initial setup... That's just my usual ritual with any Rom I flash
Note: Even if you are coming from a previous version of Echoe Rom, it is still STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you do a full wipe before flashing!!
5. Reboot and Enjoy
6. If by any chance you have any issues with LTE, do the following:
Using Root Explorer or an analogous app go to data >property>persist.radio.lteon.xml open the file in Text Editor and change the value to true. Save and Exit and Reboot
- ALSO READ THIS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND USER FRIENDLY GUIDE TO FLASHING THE ECHOE ROM CREATED BY @fAiLOfax !!! (Thank you so much!!): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47227598#post47227598
3b. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HUGE THANKS TO @Mr.Yawnie
Full/Slim versions:
VERSION 5.0 ONLY
Q: S-browser in missing in v5, where can i get it?
A: It has been removed on purpose as it didn't work with the current kernel (kept FC).
Q: Does 3minit framework work with this rom?
A: No, not yet as 3minit haven't been updated to support android 4.3.
Q: How can i get back the call recording option?
A: With Xposed framework. This module has been confirmed to work.
Q: I have poor connection and/or i keep losing connection occasionally when screen shuts. Is there a fix for this?
A: Yes. Flash mj5 modem in Odin.
VERSION 4.0/4.1 ONLY
Q: I don't have the S-Browser and Samsung keyboard! Please help!!"
A: Both the stock browser and keyboard have been deleted on purpose since they did not work well with the 4.3 leak and kept FC. You may try to install them back yourself and most likely you'll face the issues mentioned.
Q: My wi-fi keeps forgetting the ssid and it takes 30 seconds to connect. How can i fix this?
A: This is an issue in version 4.0 only, and has been fixed in v4.1. Please update your rom.
Q: My LTE signal doesn't stay on when i turn off the screen. I lose my connection completely. Is there i fix for this?
A: This is a known issue and has been mentioned in OP as a bug. In Connections/ More Networks/ Mobile Networks/Network Mode choose GSM. You can choose LTE if you want but unless you are in an area that has non-stop LTE coverage, you will face the following bug: when your screen is off, it will lose the networks and stop mobile data. That wont happen when the screen is on and its really fast. So the solution would be to have the GSM option ticked and that way you still have mobile data even with screen off.
Q: I don't like the custom EchoeRom background. How can i get back to stock?
A: To revert back to stock background please flash this .zip https://mega.co.nz/#!CwoDBRyK!Pk7V9m8tzpwxTby-dZub7yeWLB4oCXmTeSU-CWCUdJ4
ALL VERSIONS
Q: Is there a possibility of getting knox status 0x1 and thus void root when flashing this rom?
A: No, Echoe roms does not include bootloader so you will still have the old bootloader if you had it prior to flashing Echoe rom. This way you can still have an old bootloader with fully working newer firmware bases, even the new 4.3!
Q: I have lost the brightness bar after flashing Echoe V 3.1. How can I reinstall it back?
A: It has been removed on purpose, however you can get it back by flashing either one of the .zips below:
Add Brightness Bar: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxsp1xo333ivim0/AddBrightnessBar.zip
Add Brightness Bar and Remove Transparent Background: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4xzkpd3w2mney8a/RemoveTransparentBGandADDBrightnessBar.zip
Q: How to disable 4-way rotating lockscreen?
A: You can just flash one of the .zips below and remove either just the lockscreen rotation or both lockscreen and 4-way screen rotation.
Remove Lockscreen Rotation (in other words, to keep just the 4way screen rotation): https://www.dropbox.com/s/9z1eghz9lfpyb54/4wayRotation.zip
Remove both Lockscreen Rotation and 4way Rotation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2kuqbt6ni32iit/RemoveLockscreenand4wayRotation.zip
Q: LTE is not working, how can i fix it?
A: Using Root Explorer or an analogous app go to data >property>persist.radio.lteon.xml open the file in Text Editor and change the value to true. Save and Exit and Reboot. (if you don't have the persist.radio.lteon.xml file, download and paste it from https://mega.co.nz/#!cJhQkSBI!c3AqJDWYv0sleCNjLvFlbkhnn34b1Y7TdXwa51ajurw and change permissions to rw---)
If this doesn't work and you don't have LTE option in settings, try downloading and flashing this zip Http://l.bitcasa.com/p3BbVcQo.
Q: Is there a way to enable fast charge?
A: Currently Adam kernel does not support it, but you try Ausdim kernel instead as it has the option for fast charge.
Q: How to delete sound in bootanimation?
A: Navigate to system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.mp3 and change it to PowerOn.bak or delete it completely using root browser or similar app.
Q: I'm getting really poor screen time. How can I fix it?
A: You need to use WLD (wake lock detector) or similar app to see what app(s) cause you wakelocks. Remember to enable system apps from setting settings.
- if it's media scanner that's draining your battery, download 'rescan media scanner' from the market to disable media scanner.
- if it's NlpCollectorWakeLock, then go to Google settings > Android Device Manager and uncheck Remotely locate this device.
It is also good to use Greenify to hibernate apps and save your battery.
Q: I have FC while trying to change volume settings. How to get it working again?
A: It is an issue with older 3minit framework. Download Echoe3minit and the problem is solved.
SLIM specific questions:
Q: I have problems with email/alarm/live wallpaper/whatever app, could you please help me?
A: Download the necessary .apk file(s) from Deleted files in here http://www.mediafire.com/folder/mru89xyk9htzh/ECHOE_Slim_deleted_Files#dw0vdb9z3ydbh and copy paste it to system/app (overwrite, change permissions to rw-r-r, reboot). If unsure what .apk's to download, address your questions to Director Of EchoeSlim Development: @tschulieh
For stock email app, you need SecEmail_J.apk (and SecExchange.apk)
For live wallpaper, you need SecLiveWallpapersPicker.apk
For alarm to work with S-view flip cover (only v3.0 and below, not 3.1), you need ClockPackage.apk
S-VIEW FLIP COVER USERS - Please check if alarm works with s-view cover closed. If not, you're running slim version v3 or before and need to download the clockpackage.apk from deleted files and follow the instructions above. Reason for this is that SLIM versions prior v3.1 has ported clock app from SGS3 and thus does not support s-view.
Q: I'm using SLIM version of Echoe and there is no stock email app. Can I get it back and if yes, how?
A: Yes, you can. Just download SecEmail_J.apk from deleted files http://www.mediafire.com/download/s4bm9mzmy72f356/SecEmail_J.apk and Copy-paste it to system/app. Remember to change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Q: Can't find ringtones on my phone, where are they or why aren't they there?
A: Ringtones are deleted in SLIM versions. You can download them back from http://www.mediafire.com/folder/mru89xyk9htzh/ECHOE_Slim_deleted_Files#6d92lx1acork4. Remember to save the .ogg files to ringtones folder in internal or external SD.
Q: How can i get Google Camera to work in Slim?
A: Download and install GalleryGoogle.apk file from here http://www.mediafire.com/download/785u2w6l6culuub/GalleryGoogle.apk.
Extra questions:
Q: How to change permissions and what app should i use to do it?
A: Almost any root file manager app will do, but Root Explorer (paid app) and Root Browser (free app) are proved to work without any issues.
Q: Echoe rom md5 checksums are not in OP. Where can i find them?
A: In the download page on androidfilehost.com
Q: Where can i find Echoe banners for my signature?
A: From post #1081 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44372885&postcount=1081 and in OP.

I would be surprised if anyone browsing this thread doesn't realize that:
Flashing this Rom voids your warranty. And as with any custom Rom it comes with the usual dangers/ side effects such as, but not limited to, explosions, wars, spontaneous combustion, your pet forgetting all his/her tricks, retrograde and anterograde amnesia, interpersonal alienation, a number of psychosomatic, neurological, and metaphysical complaints, and in general an overall disturbance in the "order of things". Having said all that, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for anything happening to your phone as a result of you flashing this Rom...

\Please accept my apologiez, I got caught up on the word "porting" that I didn't know this was base on T-mo's latest FW, so it should have Wi-Fi Calling, I would gladly test But I still dont quite understand this installation Method:
install:
Unzip into your new SS backup dir into your backup Safestrap folder in a folder like gogolies-echoe12v3 make sure all files are simply in 1 folder and that folder is in your backup directory and restore to a ***blank/newly created or STOCK*** rom slot. I went super small as small as SS would allow for slot creation. If your getting an error on restoring be sure to try deleting the slot and re-adding it then restoring the system files. If your WiFi doesn't work try flashing MJ7 or MK2 SS modules but only flash modules after 1st booting up rom and knowing wifi isnt working. 1st boot takes time plz allow a minute after loading up 1st time.??
SS back up dir? Back Up SafeStrap?? ***blank/newly created or STOCK*** rom slot??
Again Please accept my apologie I didn't mean to disrespect your work...
Edit: I tried to restore by placing the unzip file from your download into the Phil'z Recovery folder and I got a MD5 mismatch error...

I'm excited about this, and the three other rom ports in your signature. But I'm also confused about how to install. Safestrap is totally new to me until this post. It may be a good thing to learn about, but for now I just like TWRP. If I'm reading right, it sounds like the TWRP installation method consists of downloading and unzipping a zip file that contains a nandroid backup which we are to restore in TWRP?

Not sure safestrap applies to us. It is for locked bootloaders. I don't think ours is locked. Not sure how to install these roms either.

sorry been offline working on somethings just figured out AFH messed up my last batch upload sorry guys. yes you install this via TWRP or philz (ive done both for my TMO friends). sorry I suppose just a .zip would work for you guys but this is the method now widely used by my followers...
just unzip the zip figure out where your TWRP bakup folder is and place my folder in it then restore. APN's I believe will automatically restore for tmo if not plz reflash your modem with apns attached or restore APN's however you please. I don't have the power to b in 4 places at once so if you have a question PM me or visit the verizon thread they will help you there too enjoy

Easier to flash than I thought. I will try all of them. Thanks

I couldn't find an option to disable MD5 check in Phil's, so I installed latest TWRP 2.6.3.1 and it starts to restores til it fails on system... I guess I'll just wait for a zip to pop to try this Rom...

this happens to me with all of his work.. and Support is almost none existent, Mods feel like he just posting this kinda of work everywhere just to collect donations, his threads are being close..
Jerdog:
"Not only is the OP an assault to my eyes and causing me to feel like I am on acid... but the OP can't support this (as is evidenced by his first few posts) and he's wasting everyone's time.
XDA doesn't look kindly on blind builders/kangers/modders/etc. who will post nonsense all over in an attempt to gain notoriety when they can't support something, all the while hoping people donate. And given the content in his OP, that's precisely what is going on here.
so closing this thread and others like it."
