Hello,

This ROM is based on Tim6a and www_apad_tv-ibex-Flytouch-3-Firmware-V8.

I started customizing Tim's 6a ROM for my own use, basically since I wanted to see all apps compatible with FT3 on Google Play and I wanted to use ADW Launcher. Now that my customization is complete, I wanted to share it with the xda-developers community :)

The ROM is built to mimic a Samsung Galaxy GIO device. This device has a much smaller screen but has an ARMv6 processor like the FT3. So all apps downloaded from Google Play should work, and with good performance since it will be the app's QVGA version. Gameloft games also recognize this device, so for example you can download and play Ice Age Village.

Credits go to Tim for his great custom ROM, Apad.tv for firmware-V8, Axlien for the build.prop ideas, chairshot215 for performance tweaks. Thank you guys!

mod edit

I hope you enjoy this release!

Tolga

INSTALLATION:

Unzip the contents of mod edit] to the root folder of your SDcard, and reboot FT3. When the installation is complete, don't forget to take out the SDcard and remove the installation files.

If Wi-fi is grayed out after installation, it means that your wifi card is not 0803 v1. (default) Try enabling old FT3 or 0803 v2 using Tim's scripts in Gscript Lite.

To view all apps on Google Play, follow these steps after installation:

1. Open Google Play, accept the upgrade and accept TOS.

2. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and select ALL tab.

3. Go to Google Play, clear cache and force stop (DO NOT CLEAR DATA)

4. Go to Google Services framework, clear data and force stop

5. Open Google Play, and you should get a server error. (This is normal)

6. Restart FT3 and all compatible apps should be visible on Google Play!

Hmmm.

I'm useing one of Tim's Roms... not sure wich one. The one where the screen is always dark. I tried dling your fixed stuff put it on my sd card it said it updated took out the sd card than turned it back on, but nothing had changed, everything was still the same? I have tryed the Power button+menu+front button to factory reset it, and still tims rom is still there with no changes. I just am at a loss now... really pissed to be honest. I cant even get the thing back to it's original original settings... I want to use your packet, any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] billypaul69:
Anyone? I have just about tried everything and I'm on my last leg. I'm about ready to just rip the case open and K.O. the battery~
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tolgainci:
Hi billypaul69,

On my FT3, I just push menu+power to do a factory reset. Perhaps you could try that button combination to do a factory reset.

About flashing my ROM: Apparently the update somehow did not complete for you. I suggest you check out this excellent video tutorial from Axlien to flash a ROM to FT3, and see if it helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7xdpnoHLeg

Make sure you don't turn off your device, before you see the following message on the screen:

If you see any other messages such as "not complete", "wrong system file" etc. and not the one above, please report them here. It's possible that either the .zip file you downloaded got somehow corrupted or the SDcard you are using for the update is faulty. In that case try re-downloading TolgaMOD, or formatting your SDcard and try again.

I hope that my suggestions work for you! Thanks for checking out my ROM!

Regards,

Tolga

Thanks soo much i'm going to try all the steps asap.

Hi

I just installed your new rom file and everything went Ok. The only problem is that my wifi network is not working. I can activate the wifi but it cannot find any network.

I tried using gscript to install on of the wifi patches but I get the following error message

"stderr:Permission denide" when I run the script.

Any idea as to why this is happening ? Apart from that, you rom is very snappy in operation.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tolgainci:
Hi jammertn,

I'm glad you like the speed of my ROM, that was one of my goals indeed. I'm pretty sure one of the wifi scripts will correct the problem. For example my tablet's wifi works with the "old FT3" fix.

The reason you are getting the "permission denied" error is because gscript was not given superuser permissions.

The first time you run gscript, there should be a pop-up screen from superuser application asking for root rights. You should select "Allow" on this window. If you don't allow it or deny root access, the scripts won't work. If you denied root access and selected "remember" the first time, please launch superuser application from the app drawer and change the status of Gscript Lite to "Allow".

Since you have wifi not grayed out I guess your wifi is 0803 v2. Please try running the "Wifi fix:0803 version2" script and then reboot your tablet.

I hope that helps!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jammertn:
Hi and thanks for the quick reply.

From where do I launch superuser?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tolgainci:
Click the middle button (the one with white squares) on the dock, you will have access to all installed apps including superuser.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jammertn:
OK I found the application.

One more question, Something happened and now gscript only sees 3 scripts. How can I make it show all the scripts like before.

Excuse all my dumb questions but I'm new at this.:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tolgainci:
No problem mate, I think the best way is to simply re-install the ROM:) You can backup your current apps with Titanium Backup.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jammertn:
Nice, thanks a million

I got it working now.:D

I'll be watching this thread closely.

Keep up to great work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tolgainci:
Yay! I'm glad it worked, c ya around.

Hi Tolga

Is there anyway to activate bluetooth on this tablet? I tried using the gscript but cannnot get is to work. Any ideas ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tolgainci:
Hi jammertn,

This tablet doesn't have a bluetooth chip onboard. Tim's scripts are for driving usb bluetooth dongles. I'm not sure which ones work, but maybe the thread below could have more info.

http://www.apad.tv/apadforum/showthread.php?1358-Flytouch-3-Bluetooth-USB-dongle-testing-thread
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jammertn:
Hi Tolga

Thanks for the reply, I have seen that thread but it does not have have any useful info in it. I tried it with an external usb/bluetootyh dongle but still no operation.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tolgainci:
Hi,

I ran a quick web search and I haven't seen anyone successfully making a USB bluetooth dongle work on FT3. I think Tim included some kernel modules with the firmware for devs and testing purposes. So please don't assume it will work when you simply plug in any USB BT dongle.

Here's the support thread for Tim6a, there might be more info there:

http://www.apad.tv/apadforum/showthread.php?416-Flytouch-3-Hybrid-ROM-(rooted)&highlight=bluetooth

I think I have a USB BT dongle somewhere, I will take a look if I can find it :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] honeycombflytouch3:
has this been posted on Apad.tv or tested on the iBex Flytouch 3 by people on there?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tolgainci:
Do you mean if this ROM has been tested or if USB bluetooth dongle has been tested? I'm pretty sure TolgaMOD runs on Ibex Flytouch 3, since it's basically a modified version of Tim6a.

Hi, great work

But I wouldn't try it, because changes very small :)

The biggest thing what i need there - it is real sleep mode, and cpu scaling. I've little bit dug into it but without success....

BTW if you have problem with silent mic because on my superpad there is such problem, you can include this fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316211 into your firmware or maybe just like some script fix

For Greenify, it requires Android 3.x or above. But maybe someone can look into it and see if they can get it to work on Android 2.x. It's highly unlikely, since the developer of Greenify said that it requires 3.x or higher because the app uses a new feature in the Android framework, which 2.x doesn't have (or something like that).

As for other tweaks that require init.d, since our kernel doesn't support this feature, this means we can't run those scripts. However, there're 2 ways to do this through emulation. You can either use Pimp my Rom (which comes with the unit.d emulation tool as part of its features), or use Universal init.d.

For those having superuser problems, try this:

BTW, what we really need is a custom recovery for this rom. It would be great to use clockworkmod on this, but of course overclocking this rom on the stock kernel would be nice too....

[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
This is kind of related to development, and still really important since those flashing Leak ROMs might not read the General section and not know if I posted this there. That is why I posted this here.

If you flashed any PG86IMG firmware zip for the Virgin Mobile leaks, you might not be able to go back.

EDIT: CHADS DOWNGRADE THREAD: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1641461

NOTE: This is not specific to freeza's zip. Any firmware zip for the leaks is the same.

Why?

The leak firmware has a file, dzdata_4g.hdr, which no other official firmware has.

The only similar thing other leaks have is dzdata.img which has confirmed not working since people flashing 2.17 ruu (which has this) are still showing the Virgin Mobile banner and having problems.

Downgrading will leave you with the Virgin Mobile dzdata_4g.hdr.

TL;DR/easier to digest

Leak has dzdata_4g.hdr

No official firmware RUU does

Downgrading leaves you stuck with dzdata_4g

What is bad about keeping the Firmware

If you have flashed the zip or have tried downgrading from it, you might be one of the few that have problems with:

-No 3G, just 1X

-No VPN

-More bugs

And everyone will be stuck with the "Virgin Mobile" banner.

Also you're flashing radios and firmware from an unnoficial firmware for a different device. This can cause a lot of issues.

If you aren't having problems and you flashed it, good for you.. Some do but most don't..

EDIT: We're marked as Virgin Mobile so we'll be at the bottom of the tower priority.. among other things..

Can I still flash the firmware zip minus dzdata_4g.hdr?

Try it and report back. It might brick or phone or cause random reboots with the ROM.

Is there a fix if I already flashed it?

See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1641461

Summary:

The point of this warning is that if you flash the leaked firmware, there is a chance of you having problems. This chance is pretty high since I'd say like 1/10 of people have no 3G and signal quality for a lot of people got poorer.

If you get these problems, there's no going back. There's no way of fixing them.

Whether it's worth taking the risk or not is up to you.

Edit: This kind of explains the situation were in right now:

[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
I upgraded to the firmware and then decided to go back to the 2.17 firmware and I don't have any problems?
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
4G still works with the firmware, I never said anything was wrong with 4G. So does hotspot.

Go to settings, about phone, network and tell me what it says for your network operator.

Also you did flash the firmware right? or did you flash the roms without firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Only some are actually having problems, but the point is, if you flash Freeza's firmware there is a chance of you having problems. If you have problems, theres no way of fixing them.

Also the chance is pretty high as many users have been reporting of no 3G, VPN, etc.

With the virgin mobile banner am I no longer in the Sprint database or is it just cosmetic/visual that can be edited with eri.xml ???

[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
I flashed Freeza's ics firmware but my banner never changed to virgin mobile even though it seemed to work since voicemail didn't work. I was able to run 1.13 RUU and it seemed like everything was back to normal.

I also haven't had an issues with any rom.

I flashed while on Newts one S. And was able to restore to Nocturnal Adrenaline just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
You can Nandroid back to a previous "rom" but, the "firmware" (if you flashed) will remain the same.

Update prl and profile if you haven't already.

[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
Unfortunately flashing the firmware notasimpleway showed me did not work at all =( I am still having issues with hands free activation and I cannot manually update the profile/prl to get data back.

Would you mind explaining what you did to get yours to work?
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
A flash with meanrom, honestly a stock ROM should fix it...then the banner can be changed in qpst (idk how to do it though)
[HTC EVO 3D] str8upx:
Same here. After profile and the prl update everything works Fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Wait wtf? All you did was change rom? So you are running the VM firmware still but it doesn't show virgin mobile anymore?

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

But what if you can't update prl or profile? Mine fails :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
I'm on the same boat as you, with the addition of my phone failing to activate with Sprint.

I also just tried flashing MeanROM, same issue, nothing will activate/update. My 3G is dead.

EDIT: Oh lord was that a pain. For anyone else having issues (what happened to me is strange, somehow my profile got corrupted while I 'cleared' it like the OP's edit sates) so what I did was install the stock ROM (found here) then have your phone activate. After that, you should be able to restore a previous backup (including ICS) and it should work just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
The only problem I have is the Virgin Mobile banner. Besides that, everything is working great, battery doesn't drop while screen is off overnight, runs really smooth. I honestly dont think I want to flash another rom for a while unless a fully functional CM9 comes out.

Edit: Changed Virgin Mobile to Sprint with Leedroid ICS. All good now.
[HTC EVO 3D] thetruthmakesme:
i called sprint, had them reset my phone and service was back again. also, miui shows sprint not VM so im all peaches and cream :)
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
I am one of the few who has no issues except VM banner which Leedroid took care of. Don't have Wimax so I don't care about the Realm showing up as vm.Sprintpcs. Everything is working so far and I have 3G and my data connection got better. I like the ICS. My question is will I be okay when the Devs put out the real Sprint release rooted rom and sprint firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] chadharrop:
Is the vm fw needed to run new ics roms. I am running ics now with out new fw but no 3g when roaming but voice works when roaming. Everything else is good.
[HTC EVO 3D] Datguy_n_Disguy:
To my knowledge, the VM firmware doesn't even have roaming available. Try updating prl/profile and Be happy you got what you have.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I also just flashed freeza's leak zip with no hboot and have the Virgin Mobile banner on the dialer, but in EPST all settings for profile and 4g seem to be the same. I was running the setup below in my sig and only flashed the PG86IMG.zip from freeza in bootloader. I've no problems with data, calls, texts, or anything. I wonder why some are having such issues and others seem to have no problem?

Do you guys think problems may be related to your hardware version? I'm on hardware version 0002, no issues here (aside from the banner). Another thought,could the hboot downgrade do it? I'm on 1.4, rooted the day I could. Never on 1.5.

My only concern right now is when Sprint releases its firmware. Will it replace the VM firmware?

It should.
[HTC EVO 3D] Teeeejay:
So then it could be from having a non-hardware 0002 device...someone with issues pitch in please?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Most likely. For it to completely overwrite, sprint would need to put in a dzdata_4g.hdr which they never have in any of their previous RUUs
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
"i called sprint, had them reset my phone and service was back again. also, miui shows sprint not VM so im all peaches and cream".....is this member's claim for real? Is it really this simple?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
It could very well be. If I can get some more confirmed cases, it would be great. To test:

Step 1) Flash freezas firmware

Step 2) Boot to a stock 2.17 ROM (Must be stock)

Step 3) Verify banner says virgin mobile

Step 4) Call sprint and have them refresh

Step 5) Once they refreshed it, check if banner says Sprint or Virgin Mobile.

The banner is the easiest way to check. Other problems might be present but most likely not.
[HTC EVO 3D] thetruthmakesme:
it is. call sprint, 5 minutes with support and everything worked perfectly. if anything, data was faster. perhaps that's just placebo effect though

Edit: on stock 2.17, still shows Virgin Mobile. MIUI shows sprint - hmm
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
I'd like to try it but I have no issues at this time.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
My phone would not activate last night.

So I finally went to bed.

Get up this morning and it says "Complete" and 3G is showing.

Still says Virgin Mobile and VPN broken but everything else is ok.

Gosh I hate the cover on this phone.

I think the Sprint firmware for ICS fixing it is 50-50

Since none of the prior RUU's can fix it.
