Repack V7 build 6 2013

Hi all,

i just release repack4pda 2013 (build6 + build7) for everyone.

Q: Why would i flash this "old" GB ROM, while there is ICS and JB (CM10) too ?

A: This ROM is for people who are fed up with flashing different roms everyday to find a bugfree and fast one.

Q: How do you and I know this ROM is fast ?

A: Try the game "temple run brave" on any of your "other" ROMs, and then compare to this one. Convinced ? press thanks button.

Q: I want this and that to be added to the rom

A: If you're sure your suggestion is better than stock, I will review and add it

Q: Why is this rom so boring stock ?

A: Personally I dont care about the "looks". I just want no bugs and pure speed, thats why I revive this rom.

Q: What is free mem and internal storage space ?

A: Free mem is about 270 MB, internal storage 370 MB

Q: Is this rom odexed ?

A: Not yet. Only when its so close to perfection I odex it, and you finally will get 420 MB internal storage for free.

Q: there must be "some" disadvantage by using GB right ?

A: To be honest, whatever kernel I tried (and I tried all) , GB seem to drain battery a bit faster as ICS. I cannot fix that.

Q: known bugs ?

A: None to me. If you find bugs, they are on stock and hopefully i can fix that,

Q: What will you do when we all like build 6 ?

A: I will odex and either make a new thread for this rom, or I ask the original repack4pda dev. to update first thread...if they like.

Q: Why dont you make a rom on higher OS, like ICS or CM10 ?

A: ICS and CM10 (JB 4.1.2) either are too heavy for the Ray (so slower), or lack a good (video)camera like GB

Some geeky features:

- rom has init.d support built in. "ANY" kernel will get init.d support this way.

- rebuild on Repack4pda, updated system files, gapps included--> All in one zip.

- tweaked services.jar for better multitasking (see thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914159 )

- some init.d script tweaks I found they actually work a bit

- Extreme Camera mod for GB (see thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569309 )

I made the init.d script for use with doomlord kernel (for SIO io scheduler support) , so my advice is to use that kernel which is added to this thread

You can use another kernel safely though...but forget SIO then.

How to flash (from "any" rom on "any" android version) :

- copy rom zip and 10in1 framework zip to sdcard root dir.

- flash kernel (see download link)

- in CWM, do factory reset and dont forget to format /system (you see that in "mounts and storage")

- select rom zip and flash it.

- Reboot the phone. Let the rom boot normally.

- When phone is fully booted, reboot again in cwm and flash 10in1 framework ui mod.

-Still in cwm. Wipe cache and dalvik cache.

-Boot the phone

reboot

done
