[Vibrant Android Development] TFordham:
Please note! Due to certain issues, as of 08/26 I have moved on to the official CM10. If time permits, I'll update this OP, but not making promises.

WARNING: This ROM probably still has intermittent emergency dialing issues. Do not use it for a daily driver when you're out or could need 911 or any emergency number. If you STILL choose to use it at those times, it's your own fault!

Let's get this out of the way:

This thread is for DEVELOPMENT! If you have non-development questions...which is just about everything that seems to show up anymore.....go to the following thread:

From DerTeufel1980:

I want to present to you the Helly_Bean ROM. The following description is taken from the original thread over in the i9000 section. You can find his thread here:

Many many thanks, to pawitp, FaultExeption, Jt1134 and all the other people who commit to gerrit. without these, this ROM wouldn't be possible

******************

Build 08/20 is showing as available. I don't recommend dl'ing it as its caused many to have baseband issues. I've contacted Der to look into this, which I'm sure he will when time permits.

(08/17)New build available.

This is md5 sum:

cd703c25d560ce4c3d33cbfcab724427

Changes:

- compiled from latest sources, but still using /datadata (going to be change probably soon)

- renamed the two navbar menus

- added Facebook sync (you have to install Facebook app before)

- added i9000b to supported devices

- (hopefully) fixed modem/baseband issue

- added possibility to install devil kernel apps to installer

- fixed mms for showcase

Wipe not needed if flashing from a previous version, but is highly recommended. Be sure to flash the add-on also.

TF here.....I found, as often is the case, I had to flash the ROM and let it boot up, then go back in and flash the add-on. After that.....golden!

(08/15)New test build up now.

Why test build?

- Because I have added two new devices, for which I don't know if it is working well for them

- I have fixed the navbar not appearing, but now there a two menus in system which both are named the same. One is for enabling, the other for customization. I am working at integrating the two into one menu, but I did not get it yet.

- ffc support for Vibrant

Install process has not changed, but if you are coming from another ROM/kernel than mine, you should create a folder devil at your sdcard, place a file named device into it, and write your device name in it, valid names are:

i9000

cappy

vibrant

fascinate

mesmerize

showcase

users of mesmerize and showcase have to do this!

Other changes:

If devil app(s) are not installed, the menu is not displayed under system settings (many thanks to phillbring for coding me this).

Wipe not needed if flashing from a previous version, but is highly recommended. Be sure to flash the add-on also.

From TF: I love the Cid theme from Annex, but flashing his most recent version sent me into bootloops. I'm assuming he will update as soon as he has a chance.

(08/13) New instructions for flashing. Wipe not needed if flashing from a previous version, but is recommended. Be sure to flash the add-on also.

The files can be found at:

http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/

Install instructions:[/SIZE]

Coming from any other rom:

- make sure to have gingerbread bootloaders. (Remember, Google is your friend)

- wipe data/factory reset

- flash allinone.zip

- reboot recovery

- flash allinone.zip again

- flash Helly_Bean_AddOn or Helly_Bean inverted AddOn

coming from previous version:

- flash allinone.zip

- flash Helly_Bean_AddOn or Helly_Bean inverted AddOn

Attention: this is still a test. Don't flash it if you don't know what you are doing/how to get back!

For a new feature cherry-picked last night, go to settings --> system ;)

You can find the official website for this project here (I don't maintain the site myself, if there is anything website related to ask, please use the contact info from the web site):

http://hellybean.site11.com/download.html

You'll find download links and faq on this site.

The usual back-up, complete wipe (if this is the first time flashing this ROM), flashing of files and fix permissions applies.

***********

One thing I noticed is that if you follow the normal flash procedure, it can bootloop, or at least appears as though it is. One way to fix that is to flash the ROM only and boot up you phone. Then go back into recovery and flash the add-on. That has worked every time it happened to me.

You can find the changelog here:

http://hellybean.site11.com/changelogg.html

For mirrors, please take a look at the thread. if you don't find any, just ask in the thread.

I really didn't want to mention this, but lack of experience by some members seems to require it:

If you are unsure of ANYTHING that goes with flashing a ROM, do research first. If you honestly can't find the answer, ask questions. We are not responsible for any action that happens to your phone.

________________________________

Now, from TFordham (you can just call me TF):

I've been using this ROM for some time now, and really happy with it. Personally, I think this is the best JB ROM out there. I find it very smooth, and for an early release, quite stable.

I do want to point out that I'm not a dev at all. The Helly Bean ROM is from DerTeufel1980 and his team. I put this up since his ROM is being mentioned in another ROM forum, but figured it might as well have its own home

Something else I want to be clear about is that I have no technical knowledge on creating ROMs, kernels or other things of this nature. I simply wanted to let other Vibrant owners know this ROM is out there. This fantastic XDA community is the place to ask, as there are plenty who know FAR more than I. In addition, DerTeufel1980 is active in this forum, ago if there are issues, he will help address them. While I appreciate the "thanks" button being hit, it is his comments in this thread that should be thanked.
