[ROM] Stock rooted 6.3

In keeping with my tradition of providing stock rooted ROMs, I've re-packaged the new 6.3 update. As with my past ones, this is completely stock except for modifications that provide root access. It does not attempt to block OTAs in any way, and it does not contain any extras like the Market.
This is a full ROM, not an incremental update, so it will wipe your /system partition when installing. If you're coming from a non-stock ROM you'll want to wipe data/cache, but if you're coming from a previous stock ROM you should be okay. This is tested in CWM (it's what I have onhand right now) but TWRP should also work.
Changes between this and a completely stock 6.3 ROM are:
REMOVED FROM ROM
The new /system/bin/check_rooted binary
Stock recovery image
Stock bootloader image
That goofy userdata-backup.zip
ADDED TO THE ROM
Superuser
su
busybox
CHANGES
Removed the entry from init.omap4430.rc that ran check_rooted at boot.
Set ro.secure=0 so adbd runs as root (insecure boot version only)
updater-script doesn't attempt to install recovery, bootloader, or userdata-backup.zip file since they are not in the ROM.
updater-script won't check your /system partition's size before installing. This means it will install on a /system partition that's been resized, but I have not tested this. My assumption is that if you resized /system you'll know how to handle any errors that you may encounter.
I'm providing secure and insecure boot images, as with my past versions. For those unfamiliar, insecure means adbd runs as root on your Fire so you get a root shell when you use adb to connect (i.e. you get # by default). Secure gives you a user shell (the $) by default, but you can still use 'su' to elevate to root.

So if I flash this off Modaco gr7 to get to the latest version should I be ok as long as I wipe Dalvik and cache?

I would say probably yes since it's mostly stock, but I've never tried so I can't say for certain. Worst case should be that you bootloop, at which point you can always go back into recovery and wipe data, too.

Perhaps the dumb question, shall I just download and flash it by TWRP like other CM Roms? Please excuse I am noob. Thank you

I've had CWM (and TWRP, actually) refuse to mount my cache partition in the past, and rebooting generally fixed it for me. Not sure if that's what's happening to you, though.

I recently repartitioned my KF following the guide you posted using the GNU parted method. What I did was increased my media storage and shrunk my cache partition to 350MB and userdata partition to 700MB, would those settings affect CWM in anyway? The other thing I noticed was after I get the error, I reboot and check the CWM folder to see if anything did save, and it looks like it doesn't compress the back up while saving it. I found a partial back up of 2.35GB after the error. This is a strange one
Update: okay figured it out. The problem was CWM was trying to back up the /sd-ext volume. I unchecked it in the advanced back up option and ran the back up without a hitch.

Can anyone confirm that the browser did not update to the newest version?
To access reading view, I was told "At the bottom of the display there is an eyeglass Icon tap it the screen says loading and you will have the view. Back arrow out of it."
I don't see an eyeglass icon on this rom.

It works for me, but only on certain web pages (I'm guessing ones that are text-heavy). Try viewing some random Wikipedia article, for example. The icon also doesn't appear until about a second or so after the page has completely finished loading.

Just bizarre, I am not getting it. I looked at wikepedia articles too. I am using the insecure rom if that makes a difference.
What version should the browser be now?
I have 1.0.13.328_10008910
Gonna go clear data, etc.
Well, heck, that did it. Thanks for that. Interesting feature!

Flashed this succesfully... but i neglected to wipe the system and accidentally flashed the 4.0 gapps package after. Boots fine but i am getting an android.process.acore FC and a Calender session FC. Any suggestions? I came from JC's ICS build and I am thinking of just going back to that.
Update. Nevermind. Just went back to ICS. The Stock Launcher gives me douche chills.

Swype?
Anyone who has Swype working on 6.2.1 or 6.2.2 installed this? If so can you tell me what happened to your Swype and were you able to get it working again?
I'm still on 6.2.1 (updates blocked with Droidwall) and went through so much hassles getting everything working *just* right, I'm trying to decide if the changes in 6.3 are worth potentially having to re-do Swype, market, calendar/contact sync, etc.
Edit: Any hope for an incremental update on this one? I loved the ones for 6.2.1 and 6.2.2.
Edit2: Any issues with market or calendar/contact syncs (for those of us who had set that up)?

Onandroid- Make backups without booting into recovery

I have not tried this yet, but the E4GT is listed under supported devices so here's the linkhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620255
This could be a very useful tool for us if it works, with our recovery situation... Anybody who uses it please report back and let us know how it works. I just saw this and thought I'd pass it on for somebody with the free time to try it out.

Bump

Looks Kool, dont know when, but ill check it for sure. Shadow_God had a post for something similar, months ago, and I didnt try it. Wont make that mistake again. Thanks RB

I'm testing this now so far;
I downloaded zip file
booted into el29 direct recovery
flashed zip
rebooted
opened Rom toolbox pro
opened terminal emulator
typed su
typed onandroid and it started the backup
will have screenshots when it finished

Screenshots it completed the backup going to reboot and see if it will restore.
Did not restore because I DID NOT SEE THAT THE BOOT IMAGE AND RECOVERY WAS NOT DETECTED ON MY PHONE!!!. If you go to the link posted above by bilgerryan you can download a zip SPECIFIC to your phone that will detect both.

Both BOOT and RECOVERY get unmounted when the OS loads, so without the appropriate Samsung patch, it's not going to find them; however, with the patch, it just makes an IMG of the BOOT and RECOVERY partitions rather than try to TAR the files contained therein.

Onandroid doesn't restore. It only backs up. That said, if you're looking for troubleshooting help, you need to supply more information (e.g. error messages... CWM or TWRP? What version? Whose recovery?).

*bumping* an only few-months' old thread. I may have fooled with this script briefly on my HTC Droid Eris, but forgot about it until not too long ago.
Over the last few days, the author of the script diagnosed a problem with the patch for the SCH-D710 which caused boot/recovery not to be backed up (again, I suppose). Over time he worked out the issue, fixed it and I just wanted to report that it's working 100% (I tested a restore, too) with Agat63's v1.42F kernel at this time.
I want to donate but there is no way to donate to him, so he has an eBay wish list I plan on taking a look at.
It's great to be able to backup anytime without going to recovery.
Great customer service, too!

Did you try this on AOSP? Or just touchwiz?

If it works on TouchWiz I see no reason it wouldn't on AOSP

I had used it on AOSP before, although I was having it use the TWRP backup then and it worked great then too.
Recently, I've only been running TW though.

[ROM] 7/30 | Malicious MD1 | Trinity | SYSTEM=EXT2 | 9,600 quad?

DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM IF YOU CANNOT RUN MORFIC’S KERNEL! IT IS PACKAGED INTO THIS ROM!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN BOOT AND RUN MORFIC’S KERNEL, PLEASE SEE POST #2 OF THIS THREAD AND FOLLOW THOSE INSTRUCTIONS, THEN THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR RUNNING THIS KERNEL AS STABLE AS POSSIBLE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43525267&postcount=72
AOSP KERNELS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE, SO DON'T ASK.
***see post 2 for some other recommended things to do after you get all "set up"
We’ll keep this simple. This ROM will reformat and mount your entire system as ext2. Data and cache will remain ext4. Built entirely from a stock zip of MD1. Added some vital things I felt were necessary
Modifications done
# Ext2 system
# sql database optimization at boot
# zipaligned
# init.d support
# Carrier IQ disabled completely
# Terminal emulator included
# Apex launcher included
# Trickster MOD app included
# AOSP MMS
# Busybox support
# **TSM parts does not work... Don't use it
# Latest SuperSU and binaries – should fix some issues, thanks chain for keeping this project up
# 4 way reboot menu and 23 toggles mod by foreverloco is included. Love his work, so I had to include just a little bit of it. His thread is right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056666
I highly recommend his AOSP theme as well. I didn’t include it simply because I know some people don’t like that look, but for those of you that do, give it a shot and please go visit his thread and thank him for his work if you download this ROM, buy him a drink or two. The man does hard good code work and deserves the recognition and appreciation.
Probably some other things as well, little stuff, not too important if I couldn’t remember it. This will be extremely stable and fast for those who can run it if you follow the set up method of trinity kernel (first link in this post). I have logged over 200 hours on this kernel up time with absolutely no issues, gaming, music, I do it all. So if you have issues with it, well, I’m sorry your device is a freak of nature! Haha
Also... Cannot forget to thank dwitherell for all his work, help influence AND SERVER SPACE. Haha, seriously bro thx. Same goes for many others - and of course morfic, who let's me package up his awesome work without question. Foreverloco, don't know you bro but seen you around many times while I was just a "lurker" on xda and before I created an account a little while back. So many others... Torvald's? Stallman?

I will never put a donate link up, just not me. I do this for fun not full time, that is why. All I will ever ask for is a click on that thanks button if I've helped you or you enjoy my work.

Reserved for meee.... or maybe not??? was i quick enough????? looooolllllll **EDIT*** SWEET I WIN!! looool
Ok, so just a few things here. Simple, but will save you some headaches.
INSTALLATION****
1. Pretty straight forward. You will need to wipe data in recovery, but other than that, just go ahead and flash it. No need to wipe system manually, the formatting to ext2 will take care of this.
2. After the ROM flashes successfully, wipe data one more time.
3. After you boot successfully, IMMEDIATELY open the superSU app, and go into settings and reinstall superSU. After you do this and superSU updates its binaries go into settings and make sure the "re-authentication" box is NOT checked. Also, check "trust system user". This will potentially save you headaches guys, can't stress this enough.
4. Open trickster mod app (included) and find your way to the VERY first link in this thread, and follow that guide for set up. This will also save you some potential headaches, and will further optimize your device. These are settings I personally run myself, and they are 100% appropriate and necessary for the file system/kernel combination and ROM.
****CHANGELOG
- June 29, 2013 -
1. Initial release

When I did the custom backup and included the preload partition it gave an error about not being able to determine the size of the partition and not being able to back it up.

Nice mod to expand functionality...only thing that puzzled me was the discrepancy between the in recovery version number and the download versioning.

Been using this and as far as usability it is best. Will flash 4.4 along with properly backing up and restoring tw 4.3 and aosp 4.4. Also will restore my old twrp backups.
On the other hand I find the ui a bit of a hassle. Just like cwmr. The nice simple reconfigurable html style of twrp is nice. Life is always about compromise but this recovery has the least compromise. Will do everything you need plus more.

I renounced to add xml support as I think it is a too huge useless extra work for not much more
The ini file mode I provide is a very good alternative that let you handle all recovery settings, however, I still not documented it a lot
The v6.x can let you export multiple configuration files
When loading themes, you can choose to only load gui features while not altering existing system config

Yes I understand that and not asking you to even consider it. Just giving a run down for others who have not used this recovery yet. As far as I am concerned this is the recovery I will be using. You did a great job of making sure all the needs of the recovery are meet/exceeded.

Yes I understand that and not asking you to even consider it. Just giving a run down for others who have not used this recovery yet. As far as I am concerned this is the recovery I will be using. You did a great job of making sure all the needs of the recovery are meet/exceeded.

Thank you :good:
I think each recovery has its + and -
Each user has the choice
However, I do not see any advantage of stock cwm over this
TWRP is another story, as it has an outstanding dev team
cm team is really crappy on updating recovery or fixing its bugs

Nvm I got it

I have cwm touch 6.0.4.3. Should I do install this over it? Sorry for my ignorance, but I am quit new to this.
Thanks!

Does this recovery support device encryption?

Can someone explain just what is meant by this? "Regular" apps, or "system" apps? And if it's just plain regular apps, why would it cause a problem? If it's a ROM-based app (e.g., text messaging app) or a Google-based app, I left them as is. But my Dolphin browser, for example, was restored with data...

Regular apps are installed apps from Google play or a 3rd party app store. System apps are apps that are installed in the system partition (come with the phone.) Restoring data from most system apps can cause problems (I have yet to find an answer is to why.) From installed apps, not so much.

Dastin, thanks for your hard work with this Rom/Phone. Also, I know your a busy guy with school and your girlfriend and other phones you develop with. I just wanted to say, you're a blessing to us Epic 4g Touch users. Thanks for pouring so much time and hard work into this phone. Much love to you. I'll make sure to donate to you when I get an income, as I am a Senior taking full time PSEO and never had a job before.
Long story short, I love what you're doing with this phone. I really enjoy your roms you have created! Much love to you bro!
Great job!:good:

My phone keeps trying to locate GPs though I turned gps location off. Any idea how to stop this?
Also, cool rom dastin!

Great ROM, I loaded this weekend and love it. Everything working great so far! Thanks!!!

I have to say thanks for this rom. I just loaded it this morning (along with the blasphemy kernel). So far it's running great. No reboots, lockups or any other issues. As a side note, I have been having trouble with the phantom menu and search presses on other roms including stock, all stock based roms, and every other AOSP based rom I've flashed. I've had to disable the soft keys and enable the navbar on all of them to fix this issue. I don't know what the difference is but this is the first rom I've flashed that actually worked without the phantom key presses. Thanks again. Looks like I've finally found a new daily driver.

Does anyone know if dock audio or speakerphone work with these builds? Prior jelly bean builds lacked functioning dock audio and the mics didn't pick up audio correctly in speakerphone mode such that callers report not being able to hear you loudly enough.

how do i find out if i have the kernel with the MMC-SUPERBRICK-BUG?
i am on stock 4.0.4
Thanks.

4.0.4 has the brick bug, to flash this you need to use a safe kernel
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

can you give me instructions on how to get the safe kernel? do i just flash a kernel on to my phone.
this is what i have:
android version: 4.0.4
kernel: 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FE22-CL612283

You have to use mobile Odin to flash the safe kernel, what I use is the el29 direct boot kernel from here : http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...ls/Recovery Kernels/GB/Noobnl Direct Boot/TAR

Does this just replace the kernel? All my apps and data should still be there?

Yes it replaces your current kernel, but you won't be able to boot back into the ROM once you flash this so make sure you have the files ready, another thing is that you need to back up your apps and data because you need to erase your data to flash the ROM, I would invest in titanium backup, if you can't afford it use helium.

i am confused. I will be in the current rom to flash the kernel using mobile odin. How is it that I wont be able to boot back into the ROM? Do i need to flash another ROM after flashing the kernel? what ROM did you flash after the kernel?

El29 direct boot kernel is a kernel for just flashing Roms.once you boot into it you have to flash a ROM.if you don't and choose to reboot system it will just reboot back into the el29 kernel.so you have to download the ROM you want and gapps if using a aosp ROM.now using an aosp ROM you need an ICS modem.

Don't unzip it. Just use Odin to flash it.
I don't think 7zip can handle tar files.

Dont take this the wrong way, but you are not ready to be flashing this rom. You really need to check out the other forums on how to correctly flash for this phone. Especially since you are on 4.0.4. One wrong move and you will have an expensive paperweight on your hands.
Go do your homework and ask these questions in Q&A thread. You will get lots of help there.
