Dude I hope you get better soon. I knoow how hard it is to do anything with a busted foot.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
Yeah it sucks not to be able to really put any weight on it without clinching pain, but i'll live.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
dude i bruised my entire one time, i wish i had just broke it instead. i know the suffering, hope it heals quicklike bro.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Giston141:
I played with it as much as I could, Flash, No boot, Wipe caches, no boot, wiped data, no boot, fixed permission. No boot. Did each multiple times in multiple different orders but no matter what it won't boot :( its not because the Wifi zip would be different do you think?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
What recovery are you using?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Giston141:
Dread's CW enhanced

Edit: Just tried TWRP. No dice..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
Dread's is the 1 I would prefer, only thing I can think of is you're being impatient with the flash. It does hang a little bit but it boots.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Giston141:
Well I waited about 10 minutes when I had TWRP and when I went to format cache and all that it said it couldn't cause the ROM never booted a first time. Am I supposed to wait like an hour?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] lvpre:
Twrp has trouble flashing sense roms. Try dread's recovery or cwm. I can't remember, but one the sense 4 roms doesn't flash.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Giston141:
Already did with Dread's. Didn't work
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
Also forgot to mention, you will also need libwpa_client.so from cm9/similar rom.

@devs/porters: I suggest you start fresh with the primo_c ruu and then add changes from this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1799376

I could get a possibly booting port of a ruu, if you guys would like.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
Give it a go if you can free up enough time to.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
Primo_c_speedy_port.zip - 305.89 MB

It *Should* boot. Data/RIL probably doesn't work. I made the same changes as I did in sense 4 port for htc lexikon.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
anyone give this a shot yet? i havent made it home to give a try yet.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Giston141:
I just tried, Superwiped 5 times with dread's recovery and flashed, flash succesful but I was stuck at the HTC boot screen. As it would if there was no rom at all, when flashing it said "Formatting system" then "Formatting UserData" (If I recall correctly) and that's all, never said installing or anything, just the 2 formatting. Took about as much time as a rom takes to install though.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
I'll try to tamper with it some in the next few days and see if i can get it to boot, see if we can get something going.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Sounds like a plan

For the record, I couldnt get it to boot either :(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] twizt3d:
I still think we'd have better luck trying to rip the sense 4/5 apks from a rom, and patching them over top of one of the sense 3.5 roms, enough people did m10 edits to make the launcher look like sense 4,
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
It won't boot on my lexikon either.. Logcat shows but spams with NetD. I'll rebase the rom on HTC Desire X.

BTW.. please stop hitting "thanks" when I haven't really done anything useful yet.. thanks ;)

edit: 3.0 kernel is out.. if someone else could take over this project that would be great because i'll be porting a 3.0 kernel to lexikon before i do anything for the shift..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
There's a new guide if any of you wanna try it out since I only have a paperweight

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245786
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
Give or take thats pretty much how I did this 1. Only difference is base and a few small things here and there. The kernel aspect might be workable on a kernel dev's end, I've never attempted that.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
The kernel aspect of this guide would seriously take you a few minutes,if that. You don't have to recompile the kernel source, just the zImage created by the kitchen. The line that needs edited is just a simple copy/paste from one file to the other.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Yeah this. I've done it like 20 times now....gets boring after a little bit lol. I ended up just writing a script to do it for me and repack the boot.img in one go.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Heres an updated link in case anyone wants this. :)

http://d-h.st/h1S
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] KiDxNinja:
Is it booting at least?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
I have been unable to get it to boot but others have. The old link from when I posted earlier in the thread had expired. Someone asked me about it so I reuploaded it and reposted it. Sorry! It was late when I uploaded and didn't think to add this information.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
I can mirror if you want, I have premium because of RC, so my downloads don't expire for 100 days after last download.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
That would be cool. Thanks! :thumbup:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:

Once this is up and running I can also mirror on my Gdrive. :) have a 105gb thanks to my Acer C7 Chromebook. :p
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Is it like a special you can only redeem on the computer? Because I work with someone who just got one of them and she would never even grasp the concept of cloud storage so I'm wondering if I can talk her into letting me get that 100GB lmao

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blmvxer:
Yes, its pretty much Google saying thank you for buying a Chromebook, which I love dual booting Ubuntu 13.04 and ChromeOS.

But yeah you should let her give you the code. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
She didn't have a code it had to be done from the CrOS device so I logged in to her Chrome book...she won't try to jack my account I've known her all my life. And threw her a 20 spot and she was perfectly happy with that as it lowered the cost of her laptop

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
Okay so what I here is WiFi doesn't work, and it gives an error? Well longs OP has drivers in kernel and has proper libs in the Rom, then it means its only its a permission issue.

If someone is willing to test try this ( but make a nandroid back up.)

1. Download and open a root browser

2. Browse to root

3. Go to /system/etc/permission

4. Now delete " android.hardware.WiFi.direct.xml " and reboot.

Please confirmed if fixed
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
I'm away from home now but I'll give this a try tonight for sure. :thumbup:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
Well the only reason I suggested that offer is because I own the " HTC Droid Incredible 4g LTE " and my team debuted the first Sense 4+ Rom, and we had everything to make WiFi work, but it just kept giving us errors while turning on wifi, so I took a gamble in there /system/etc/permission folder and deleted " android.hardware.WiFi.direct.xml and rebooted and it fixed our issue and WiFi works.... So I think it may be the same with you... Longs op included all proper drivers in kernel and Rom.... But imma have this phone soon so imma play around and port a fully working sense 4.1 lite from one v or desire x
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
im also going to contact OP and see if he wants to continue this or if i can take over for you guys.... just bear with me is all i ask
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Just deleting the line you mentioned had no effect on my device. maybe instead of just deleting, it needs to be modified or maybe we should use the permission from another ROM already on our device or maybe it needs to be changed in the updater script before flashing??? On a side note, this was the first time I have been able to get this to boot! :laugh: For those who have tried to play with this and been unsuccessful, it requires TWRP to flash.

Edit: I really like the work you put into this OP. Even though it has problems, it is more stable than OneShift.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Lucky duck. I couldn't get it to boot, and I didn't even bother trying TWRP :(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
Well when I get the device I will be working on this a lot.and will contact op to update original post
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
It needs its edits, the updater script probably needs fully rewritten, we need that kernel edit posted in that how to port guide, that in itself may fix wifi and the sdcard issues, maybe even the camera who knows.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
I have no clue how to decompile a zimage :eek: if you could do it when you get the free time I would be happy to test it. I don't even fool with kitchens.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
You don't need to decompile.the.actual kernel, you only need to.split the boot.img and then edit the init.rc's BOOTCLASSPATH using the BOOTCLASSPATH from the Sense boot.img. The init.rc is inside the ramdisk

boot.img structure:

---ramdisk.cpio.gz

------init.rc and a bunch of.other files

---zImage

Everything you need is in my thread right here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2319018
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
1 question, are you speaking in Greek or Latin with this? Just kidding!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
I'm speaking ANDROID MAGIC ;)

LOL. Inside joke because the boot.img has a header that says "ANDROID MAGIC" :D

Anyway, guys if you need help with the init.rc part, I can do it for you. I'm fully set up with Linux and I've already written a couple helper scripts to do it for me. Just let me know.

The two files I would need would be the boot_sense4.img and boot_shiftCM.img. Then I'd provide a boot_cm-sense.img with a modified init.rc :good:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
I GOT THE SD CARD TO MOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I replaced system/etc/vold.fstab and system/lib/hw/audio.primary.default.so with parts from Smurfmod9. :D

Edit: Here is a flash able zip. http://d-h.st/BOr

Edit2: There is a problem with audio (possibly beats?) but the gallery works great.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
NICE

I'll put up a semi-permanent mirror for you guys on dev host.

Also, can you upload the boot.img (for this rom) and shoot me a link? I think I know how to fix wifi..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
I'm away from home but can later tonight. Don't you already have it though? What's your idea? I've been reading about a possible way of fixing it in the One S forums...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2151142
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Whoops. Its not inside the boot.img, its in /system/etc. I'll just download the whole ROM.

And I did have it, but I trashed my dual boot and installed just Linux yesterday (mint 15 is super nice, btw :D :D)

Anyway, my idea is to edit init.qcom,post_boot.sh. It's how they got wifi working on the EVO LTE Sense 5 port.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

@Chad The Pathfinder

Download this zip, flash in recovery and tell me if wifi works!!!

http://d-h.st/QmJ
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
Alright so ill have the phone in 2 weeks so ill help with this build and then sense 4.1 lite
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Wifi still doesn't work.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
I have Rom imma toy with it, see wy WiFi don't work
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Dangit. Can you try rebooting a couple times? It's an init.d script that sets up a wifi module.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Ok...

Edit: Well I tried to just reboot and it got hung up tring to start back up. I did a batt pull and had the same thing happen again so I went into recovery and wiped dalvik and cache. Then it rebooted ok but still no wifi. One thing improved though, earlier, I couldn't get the folder on the home page to open but now it seems fine... :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
Okay does it give errors while trying to turn it on (aka freezes )
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Yes. When I open settings, the wifi is already tring to turn on. Then after a while it says "Error".
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Guys. Guess what? Booting sense 5 on the Sprint S3 :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Very nice :good::good::good:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
use the audio.primary.default.so in the alpha release, audio works, just curious what was the version in the sdfix zip suppose to fix? but i noticed the headphone jack presents no sound feedback since i can actually adequately test sound, anybody know how to fix that?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
The way I came up with the sd card fix was by reading this. I guess it may be that all I needed to cahnge was the vold.fstb file. I'll try the old audio.primary.default.so and see if that works better.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
Yeah I had changed the vold file but I guess I couldn't find a compatible one, glad you came across it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Woohoo, I have working sound now! Thanks man. :)

Edit: Here is the ROM with working sound and SD card. http://d-h.st/eTN
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Only wifi left to kill now, that fix jianC suggested sounds promising

But that's awesome :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Well there are still a few bugs. For example, mine wont turn off without a batt pull and some times I can't get it to boot back on again. Weird
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
WiFi should be easy but I need the phone to know if it works and I can fix the market bug just I need build.prop from your latest 4.2.2 aosp Rom and sense Rom, I can also add project butter to this Rom too, but I need build prop, im also going to sense 5 theme this.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
That sounds great and all...but don't count your chickens before they hatch. Just food for thought.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
No I know I'm getting the device and I came across many fixes on my teams sense 4+ port.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Yeah, but one thing I've found is that this device is especially stubborn when it comes to files from other devices

Good luck either way, and of course I hope that you succeed :good:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
Thanks, just I would love this device to have sense 4
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Guys, check this out...:D:D:D:D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Awesome sauce! Nice work. :thumbup:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
What version of s3? International?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Sprint
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
Are you gonna make for all 4 varients
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
I don't have all 4 variants, so no. Someone from the d2att has already asked me if they can port it though, so I'm sure it will get out there either way.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
I'm almost certain the wifi error is kernel related, we may be able to get a fix from a cm9+ rom or biljerryan's 4.0.4 based shifty bastard but if we can't pull a fix from 1 of those builds i doubt we can do much on the file pushing end. I think biljerryan might possibly could figure out what the problem could be since hes ported most of the ics/jb roms, maybe he ran into the issue before as well?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] 24ky:
How stable is it, and what's the bugs. I'm just curious.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
I havent used shifty bastard myself but it and smurfmod9 are both 4.0.4 I think and the only issue with Smurfmod9 was the keyboard lights which there is a fix for and has nothing to do with wifi. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
it might be worth looking into. when i have adequate time to really sit down i'll attempt a few approaches and see if i can find anything positive all the same. if its system related we'll just have to find 1 that sticks like that sdcard mount 1 worked with you, i had to try like 5 different vold files and nothing caught. the reason i say its gotta be kernel related for wifi though is because when i search for common issues on other device development it almost always boils down to the kernel, maybe the kernel routes the easy way out. i'm really glad you came through with the sdcard mount fix once i figure out the headphone jack issue even without wifi and camera this is gonna be my daily driver, screw a camera and some wifi :p until 24ky fixes everything, if he can pull it off, definitely will be amazing.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
id still love to see sense 4 running on this phone, hope this comes to fruition

by the way, any way you can use/edit the 3.0 kernel elginsk8r and preludedrew got running on evervolve in this? wasnt the kernel the main issue when this project was started?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Yeah guys, all you need to do is unpack the boot.img and swap out the zImage (compiled.kernel)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
I think i'm gonna release a more full Alpha 2, there wouldn't be much changes but there would be a proper boot/shutdown ani with a few more skins and chads sdcard mount fix. what do you guys think?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
CNexus, do you still have this zip? The link is expired. I've been trying to figure out what jianC was talking about and thought I would look at what you did to see if I'm on the right track so far.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

I was posting at the same time you were. lol Yea that sounds cool but can't you just edit this OP?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
yeah i guess i could just do that, makes sense, no need for an alpha 2. Although your fix is pretty major to the development it by itself is progress and kind of merits a Alpha 2 in a way.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Well I did this and it boots but there is a window that pops up saying that encription has stopped working and it locks up...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
I can redo it if you want

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Thats because you need to edit the ueventd/init.target.rc in the ramdisk too
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
If its not a lot of trouble, yes please.

And oh, I didn't realize that. I didn't have a lot of time this morning. I'll get back to it as soon as I get some more time.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Now that I got my Shift working again I can help out:D I remember running into that problem, but it's been so long that I don't remember what I did to fix it, maybe I should look around my old threads to bring the memories back lol.

Team Rejectz
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
I can do that too if you want, I'll be splitting the boot.img open either way to add that line to the code for wifi (and hopefully it works)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
Well considering this is nearly a year old I went back and looked at the source of the port and he released like 6 compiles following the base of this port. So I toyed around today with bringing this port to that ports final stages, the issues will still consist the same but I got it ported over with minor drawbacks that I have to look into such as somewhere a long the way I broke the hard key menu/settings link and home/recent apps. If I have time tomorrow I will release a better packaged Alpha with more features..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Sounds great. Will the boot.img be changing at all? If so, shoot me a link just to that please.

If not, I'll just pull it from the current rom.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TDJ512:
Just pull it from current I suppose, I will personally never be altering a kernel all I know how to do is flash them lol and never really want to learn, editing system files is already difficult enough.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
dodgejcr taught me how to compile and alter kernels but thats just too much work so i stopped. dealing with smali and **** is enough of a headache, i agree.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CNexus:
Its not the kernel you would.be editing.though. Only the ramdisk.

The boot.img has the following structure

boot.img

---ramdisk.cpio.gz

---zImage

The zImage is the compiled kernel. Whereas the ramdisk contains files necessary for booting.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
I know I saw you guys talking about SmurfMod9 and Shifty Bastard, I thought I'd let you know that both have a modified ramdisk in the boot.img... Just a useful piece of information, in case you were planning on using them... What exactly needs to be done to the ramdisk [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION]? Sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself, I've missed a lot.
