I hope your venture works out very well for you. I'm glad you dropped a line in here.

Yea change is good.. it's great to have such a variety of ROMs to choose from. This one certainly is awesome!

It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

I first tried just replacing the su binary and app.

After that zip didn't work I tried also replacing the busybox and sqlite.

After that didn't work I (on a long shot) tried updating to a newer Kuban Kernel.

After that didn't work I wrote a custom shell script to automate the install of the SU components exactly the same way the SuperSu.zip does....

After that didn't work I combined all of the above...

After that didn't work I installed the ROM, acquired root manually, copied my system folder from the obviously rooted phone that was working 100% with root privileges directly into the next attempt... I'm talkin... the whole thing... copied every single detail of the working ROM into a zip....

Still partially lost root.

The weirdest part was that /system remained mounted without root, but ./ and /data were not.... and despite /system being rooted I could not actually manipulate the files within...

The only thing that makes any sense is a typo in the updater-script or some other component interfering.. I can't for the life of me think of a single thing other the updater script that could cause it so I'm going to take a peak at it and the dvfs.sh (although unlikely)... .. . .

I may just write a new updater script that is much much shorter considering it would take less time but with the efforts I've already made I think I'll just go ahead and update it to FH13 while I'm at it... since V will probably have to end up doing it anyway....

Anybody think of anything I overlooked???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
the only thing you overlooked was keeping the ROM from losing root:D

EDIT: man that sounds like allot of work.. your efforts are much appreciated:thumbup:

Not really.. A couple hours of small tedious tasks always feels like an eternity though lol

Even without root this rom is awesome..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Alright... This is starting to feel a hell of lot like an s3 port that i worked on a couple months ago... The issues started when I got to a certain point that most of the working parts were S3...

The way I fixed was by actually using the su binary from the S3... And had my build prop reflect that I was on an s3.. Lmao

Its partition confusion...

I now have mmcblk0p1 (EFS)

stuff on my internal sD card... It definitely doesnt belong...

If my next try or two dont work Ill just set it up to push the SU flash to sdcard on flash then another TWO SECONDS of flashing and it will boot.

(While trying to debug/speed upgrading with no time Ive made a crazy crazy crazy FF18/FH13 Odex/deodexed bastard ROM... It.. Is... Epic...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
So it'll flash the supersu zip directly after flashing the rom?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Manual.

I tried making it automatic, no go...

Thats I tried to to have a .sh do it.. Fail.

But flash the Rom then SU right after works.. So I would rename the SU zip to something with 0s in it.. It would be right at the top and take literally 2 seconds.

I JUST GOT SU TO UPDATE BINARY AFTER INSTALLING THROUGH PACKAGE HANDLER!!!! AND IT UPGRADES BINARY!!!

That means Im getting close, if not there already... Im gonna remove the apps that forced closes as it happened. They may be C blockin

I realize that it is a known issue that the S2 widgets do not work on the S3 launcher, however what calendar widgets w/ agenda are guys using on this ROM? I read earlier in the thread that you can download a calendar from the play store, but which ones work well with the S3 launcher? Thx.

This is Smando launcher and accompanying widgets.

Has development pretty much ended on this ROM?

Great ROM, I love it but it seems to hang up on me a lot. The touch panel of buttons stops responding a lot when in certain programs like messenger.

Other then that, I love it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
From Venum, yes. He has now moved on to another phone.

Any other ROMS that compare to this? I just want simply and basic without a lot of crap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
As far as having the S3 stock theming ? I can't recall one off the top of my head.

And if you're in the mood to check out other stuff, Id suggest checking out the LD50 thread.

But there are also several stock repacks , deodexed and odexed stocks by crawrj..

Its hard to recommend just one.

I personally use Wicked as my dd.

Just a minute.. lol what is this I'm reading ... I had that stubburn pain running with the install of a quick flash and thought it was left for you to pick back up :p

If you want, sure , I can squeeze this in...

I could've sworn you said that you wanted to continue it once I mentioned the su flash being all it needed..... I must be mistaking and if so, am sorry. I'd never leave people hanging like that....

I'm working on another rom but this one should be an easy fix at this point.

Can I ask a favor V?

If I request a detail in the updater script could you accommodate?

I don't have easy access to a PC ATM and it truncates outside of TERM and Im not sifting through that blue screen for an hour lmao

It would be GREAT if you continue this one Phaker. I love the S3 ROM but have been looking at a few FH23 upgraded ROM's and cant seem to find one that I like. You helping Venum to continue this would be ideal.

-Sayajin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Just to update everyone I had some free time and going to give this another go..

I'm starting over though.... I tried to continue from where I left off and ended up not being to boot... no matter what I did for a minute there.

I don't know that I will be able to keep the Venum in it though... We have very different styles.. I'm going to try and keep it as unaltered as possible and just get it upddated and running..

Suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Ill need a tester who owns mobile odin in a while. Gonna get home to upload but I figured out a permanent fix and its name is system.img

A system.img.tar.gzip can be handled by mobile odin, is only 360mb, and with autoroot and supersu injenction problem solved.

The test run is on Venums inteded V0.8 with no modifications except it works.

Let me know if youre down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSJSayajin:
Im willing to help but will not be available until late tonight. I dont currently have mobile odin, but I can get it in the event you are unable to find another tester prior to me being available tonight.

I love the S3 ROM and would hate to see it die. Even if you had to start from scratch and would be unable to keep the Venum feel, it would still be better then letting one of the only S3 Roms die.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sclarktay4:
I have mobile Odin and am willing to test
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonathanclary:
I can test. Good way to waste my work day :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Alright, glad to hear it :)

I did make one mistake though, I thought mobile odin could read gzip for some reason...

Its no big deal, it just means youll have to gunzip it first

But since the dl will be fast... Lol

It will have to be renamed system.img (or system.img.tar)

http://db.tt/92EOZF1P

Recommendations:

Duh) Have a suitable contingency

A) Use Mobile Odin and select "system" as the partition to write it to

B) Select the following:

Wipe Data

Wipe Cache

EverRoot

Inject SuperSU

Inject Mobile Odin

(sorry if any of those were made up, in going off memory)

Flash firmware and enjoy.

Ive tested it twice but thats only one machine....

Let me know
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonathanclary:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonathanclary:
Was on agat f23 repack but today switched over to 5. 4. Tried again, booted but ROM didn't install. Mobil Odin just factory reset my phone and booted back into the ROM I was on. Not sure. Never had that before. Mobile odin always does the trick. Download after my daughters soccer game and start from scratch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Not necassary, I confirmed this behavior...

I didnt catch it because I was already ON the rom when I tested the .img so I took the factory reset + rom how I saved it as a success when really, it just wiped data and cache....

I have to start over as well... Thanks for being a good sport about it & Im pming you all you need to get it up.and running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sclarktay4:
Same here. I thought i did something wrong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
For now:

Until: I have a better solution that ACTUALLY works... Lol

Here is the next version of the Rom

There is no danger in flashing outside of the normal ones....

It will unroot you UNLESS you flash the zip from link 2, right here... Its just a full replacement of SU binary, nothing to fear...

As stated

download both zips

Do your normal wipes,

Flash the ROM,

Flash SuperSU,

Done.

During thr testing when I would lose root, it was only partial loss... And booting into recovery and flashing Supersu fixed it everytime without fail.

Sure does

It definitely is a good look and feel. I'm gonna go dl new S3 compoenents (I'm behind, I still have full dumps of the original stock s3 Rom lol)

It is not fun porting from that phone.... but images are always easy :)

I think this is more of a phone thing. I've experienced it on several Roms but couldn't ever pinpoint an exact cause. Ftmp, it will finish after a few minute.

(Sometimes if I unmount/mount the sdcard in 'storage' settings, it will happen right away ;))
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdsbj6508:
Can some tell me how to get the ripple effect?

If you mean as the lock screen,

You wait for next release, then select it from live wallpaper.

Don't know if you noticed the size of this rom though :o there isn't even room for an extra pair socks ;)

I may... may I say... be testing an idea on this Rom.

Don't worry, It would be included I don't obviously state it.. but Im pretty sure I can whip us up a secured app partition thatd free up a lot of room for libs, jars and bin programs..

Medicine

Phaker - glad to see you kicking around on this side of the forum.

Quick question(s):

1. If I am doing a clean install of 0.8, do I need to install the ROM first and then the fix before I reboot?

2. Is your magic medicine baked into this ROM (or can it be added)?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Actualy putting a little something together for this Rom today.

The Supersu must be flashed afterbthe rom.

It doesnt matter when after...

The rom is perfectly usable by itself but for full root access youll need that flash.

Im pretty sure I have that fixed for the next release, but I dont have an eta.

Ill be sure to post a "magic" pack in a while lol but if youre impatient you can use just about any of my zips, privided they dont have framework .

I've got my tweaks set on this ROM pretty much in a way that blows my mind..

Written and no shortage of ideas, except I don't know what to include...

Want me to make this rom feel like JB? I can. But we'll probably get

Jb like battery. lol.

Also would take any suggestions on what would be the most convenient setup

For you guys to switch out tweaks whenever you want..

Are you comfortable with TERM? If so, I can set up so you just type your desired

Governor's name and a preloaded script would launch....

Or are we more of the manual edit/ exec through Root Explorer type of crowd?

It isnt going to run on first boot (or at least, it didnt for me...

Just type into terminal

su

/etc/init.d/settings

And everything should set itself up.

for the record... This is a little too extreme even for a phone junkie like me .

I plan to tune it down a bunch, but I like to start high so it isnt a struggle working upward.
