CleanROM is a custom ROM with lots of tuning, optimizations, and custom kernel. Not to mention 100's of Development hours went into CleanROM...

But CleanROM started off as nothing more than a stock Rooted ROM like this.

This ROM serves a few purposes...

1. Its a base for other Devs to build there own work from (who may not have the experience setting up a base ROM, updater scripts, rooting it, etc).

2. Its a good fall back ROM if you flash a ROM and you dont like it and dont have a nandroid

3. Its great for those that want to build there own ROM just for themselves. Maybe just remove a couple apps and add in a couple of there own. Kinda like the home brew developer (not that we all arent, lol)

But comparing this to CleanROM is merely comparing this to a stock ROM with root.... Not even in the same league. Atleast I would like to think that :good: :angel:

Hope that clarifies!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Sorry bout that. I was thinking you were working with beans or someone else to get it fixed. Good job though! Your status is definitely worth it's respect. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Is it this one ? - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28639588&postcount=53

I can always pull this off the current rom too. I'm guessing when you rebuild CleanRom off this base, you'll do this as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Thank you... Plus I was just giging you a hard time ;)

But yeah, I did this. Its not a major accoomplishment. Anyone can do it and I would be happy to show someone how if they ever wanted to know.

Thats not the exact one I was refering to but I think it would work. Just take note that the "current" version in this ROM is has "_USA" annexed over it so you cant just flash it as it. Make sure you delet the old one first (Or I should I say new one, lol).

But yeah, same thing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] &roid:
Thanks for the explanation Scott, I think I'll keep my cleanROM.

((all hail the African Canadian sock monkey))
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
I used g7 modem for a few days and it sucks big time for me, keep dropping internet and calls I went back to lg1 and no problems now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yeah, I would too, lol.

I will eventually re-base cleanROM on this but.... Ther eis no kernel source yet so I wotnb do tha tuntil source is released.

After being O/C'ed to 2.1GHZ I cannot go back to 1.5GHZ. I just cant.

And.... There is no drastic improvment in this ROM other can a CYA by Samsung to remove the search that Crappple has a patent on.

No performance or memory gains, nothing, nada (that I see). Just a new radio and some more spyware from VZW.

But I will update for the sake of numbers. People, inclduing myself, always like to have the "latest and greatest" of every thing even if it has zero change to it, lol

But I am not going to update until I have kernel source.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Another thing I am doing for giggles...

Im actually runing this ROM as is but with my apps loaded. No mods, tweaks, etc....

I just want to see what battery does and performance does so I can better gauge it to CleanROM. I will prolly run this until the weekend then make a choice....

But to everyone else, do yo see any gains in this ROM over VG1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
It looks like the auto backlight dimming is smoother... Not a lot, still not HTC quality but it does seem smoother.

Any thoguhts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Comparing stock vs G7 on an unrooted phone, I don't see much difference. I have 1 more signal bar sometimes, but that's meaningless, the actual dbm reading and speeds are the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jds3118:
Sorry for the noob question but I thought the ota was going to jelly bean 4.1 but the screen shots show 4.0.4 ? :confused: and does ota rootkeeper app work ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
there has been no JB VZW leak yet...only T-MO & AT&T....if you are looking for JB only ports of the T-MO & AT&T leaks are available...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jds3118:
Thanks for clarifying that :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nico4k:
Is there an odex version I can download??? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
Have you tried this ROM with your CleanKERNEL?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Could I dirty flash this over stock rooted/unlocked?

I do have the 15 toggle mod applied though. I assume I would have to remove that beforehand?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yerh, I see the same thing...

Yep, Set them to upload last night... I dont have a direct link but I will remote into my PC on lunch and get it for you. At will post it in a couple hours....

Yeah... DONT!

I need the new source. WiFi goes crazy, lol

You could but I dont recomend it. The mod will also be removed when you flash a new ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
Scott, based on your screen shot, it looks like there is a new kernel in G7. I wonder is Sammy fixed some of the battery drain bugs yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Hard to say until I ge tthat damned source in my hands.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
There is a new compile date/time stamp of August 3 on the G7 kernel, versus the G1 kernel date/time stamp of July 4.

I would think that something has changed, otherwise why would they recompile it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
Haha thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yeah, I agree with you. I thought the question was "what changed"

And I wont know that until I can compare source.

Once those Samsung guys put it up I can run and compare, build it back up and see how it goes...

Untill then we dont know whats changed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nico4k:
do you have the root OTA to flash thru CWM or ODIN to update the stock ROM? (i dont wanna have to rebuild my girlfriends phone, she is rooted, bootloader unlocked, but stilll using the stock ROM)

thank you for your great work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Scott...I have been interested in dabbling in Android development for quite some time but don't know where to start. I don't code, I don't know how to compile (and am not quite sure what "compile" means), but I have time and intestinal fortitude.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

I wish I could pinpoint just exactly what point in time "latest" became more important than "greatest" lol...

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

AFAIK, if you have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, all you need to do is flash the zip using recovery. However, check previous posts; it's being recommended that, since G7 offers no real improvement over CleanROM 2.1, so you might want to just flash CleanROM for now instead. The process to flash CleanROM would be the same...just flash the ZIP in recovery. Dirty flash should work fine, but make sure to use recovery to wipe cache and dalvik, and to fix permissions prior to flashing the ROM.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
1. Start searching XDA and Google. Its how I learned. Best place to start... Take a stock rooted ROM like my VG8 Update... Think of what you want to do to it... Even if its just removing some apps and adding some... Then try to figure it out. If you get stuck then Google... If you still cant figure it out, guess! If guessing doesn't yield the results you want start a thread in the developer section on my forums. Its a place I set up for new Wanna be Devs to come and ask questions and get answers from me directly. I just taught a guy how to add EQS to a Sense 4 ROM. I dont want to clog up my threads with this type question...\

2. Latest = Greatest FTW!!!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Hey scrosler, just curious if you would be interested in making any mods for this ROM. Extended power menu, native tethering perhaps? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Actually........ lol

I did plan on it... I mean, I have to build them for my base anyways so why not pack them up separately? But we will see. I also want to focus on the Asus TF300T Kernel so I don't really have much time. Then add to that the people in the One X thread that keep asking for releases.

This **** gets more stressful than you think!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I didint get time to do this because we had a minor emergency at work so I will post up the links in about an hour when I get home
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ratzinc:
Can we possibly get the g7 kernel as a separate flashable file? Stock kernels have given me the best battery life.

little bug to report, im on a mac. i have to use android file transfer and with this rom i cant seem to connect, flashed back to cleanrom 2.1 and everything is fine. full factory reset and tried installing again and no go. not a deal breaker but just letting it be known. adb seems to work fine tho !

No worries. Would be awesome whenever you can get around to it. Really appreciate your time on this. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LastSilmaril:
Thanks very much for this scott. Query though - I never got the 'no sim' error before but managed to get it this morning after having installed your ROM (deodexed) last night. has anyone else experience this?

I noticed it doesnt update the Radio/modem...was that not included in the ODEX rom??

Thank you man, that's exactly what i did (i only wiped dalvik cache though) and flashed it over the stock ROM xxxxG1, everything seems to work properly. :D

Thanks a bunch! you are the man!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I have not ever seen this error on any iteration of any ROM or radio (and I hope I never do!).

What radio are you on?

Glad you enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nico4k:
nevertheless, it didnt update the Radio/modem...is it not included in the ROM??:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No, why would you put the radio in the ROM?

It would then be called ROMIO? Ahahahah

hahaha you are a :good: funny man! :D

wither way, i got the Modem from a another thread and flashed it, all is go thus far!

Fail lol:p just Curious what dex to odex changes. I've googled but don't really get which is better to have
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clienterror:
Odex boots faster but theoretically is slower when being used. More the main reason to Deodex a rom is to make it themeable. When Deodexed you can simply swap out icons and add/edit the theme to your hearts content, with odex I'm pretty sure stuff is fragmented over the place making it pretty much impossible to theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ummmm.... No.

Not quite....

Odex boots faster, apps load faster, less space used in the user partition. Overall smoother.

Odex files are the same thing (for the most part) as the classes.dex files. The classes.dex files need to be extracted from the APK to the dalvik cache to be run. This takes up usable space and time.

Odex files are not normally "themed" they are the smali code. You can still theme the APK just like you theme a de-odexed apk. No difference unless you are editing smali. Which no theme really does.

Finally Odex APK's are smaller, because of no classes.dex, therefore, will also load faster because the OS needs less time and space to load into memory.

Oh... And... "Android is upgrading"... Not on a full Odex ROM because what that routine is doing is rebuilding the dalvik cache with all the classes.dex from the de-odex APK's. Obviously if you install de-odex apps, which most are in the user partition those will update but the entire system folder will be skipped... Why? because the .odex file is already in place on System partion and does not need to be extracted. Its ready to go as soon as the phone boots....

Odex ROMS = The ****!

Hope that clears it up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] teggy_D:
Droppin knowledge like a BOSS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
What is the downside to ODEX? For example, uninstalling apps that are included in the ODEX Rom or installing new ones, does that present problems or conflicts? I am currently stock running your kernel, which is awesome by the way! Anyway, I have had your Rom downloaded for a couple of weeks and still haven't pulled the trigger, been reading and making sure before I do anything.

I did try out a couple of different kernels, and have to say, yours worked the best for me. I want to try the Rom so bad, but am still wanting to learn a little bit more first.

Thanks for all that you do, it is very appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Has no impact. If you install apps then they get installed to the user /Data partition and make no difference.

However some "Mods" may be for de-odex ROMS only because they may not know how to make an "odex mod" but its not very hard and I would gladly show anyone how to do it if they ask.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
EDIT: Got enough testers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hakoreh:
Can I assume that since this is stock, universal search is removed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juancaperez2000:
question? this rom is just like when u root ur phone and unlock bootloader right, everything stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
I know its straight stock but how is battery compared to. 2.1? I know its silly to compare a base rom to a beast like 2.1 just curious. <insert flame here> haha

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Yeah nothing removed. Straight stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Correct, VRLG7 officially removes universal search. This rom is untouched besides being rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:

Like much smoother than the prior stock ROMS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Yes by far I have yet to take 1 app out of it. So far running totally UNmodified
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Ok so I know the difference between odexed and deodexed. I have read from various articles that because processors are now so fast and memory is so abundant, there's really no performance difference between the two, which begs the question...if that's true, and it's much easier to theme for a deodexed ROM, then why aren't all custom/rooted ROMs deodexed? *Is* there really any performance difference between odexed and deodexed ROMs? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
I like odex mainly cause the roms that Scott odex's are always amazing lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Hey scrosler. Having some trouble switch to the "Superuser" app from SuperSU. I think I lost all root access now somehow even after reflash the ROM again (which makes zero sense to me). Is it possible for you to make another deodexed version with Superuser as the root app instead of SuperSU. This thing is giving me a headache. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ct_tec313:
+1 i would like to know as well:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Just use supersu problem solved? Lol never understood using one over the other. Makes no sense lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yep, I want to rebuild on this base so bad but my kernel is failing on it. I Need the damn G7 source GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did not understand my intial response...

To theme for Odex and De-odex is IDENTICAL unless you are editing the acutal java code and hardly ANY theme I have ever seen in my life does this. If it does, its no longer a theme, its a "Mod."

Secondly, Im sure you did a lot reading on this... IM beleive but I have tons or REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE. You can trust when I tell you that ODEX is faster than de-odex. I dont care if you have a corvette with the fastest motor available, if you add a minor "enahnacement" to that Corvette that make it faster its still faster ... Does make any more sense?

Thirdly, you have the entire Dalvik Cache issue that I clearly epxlained wastes space and TIME (regardless of perception of how much) needs to be rebuilt when you make theme changes, etc. With Odex that does not occur.

Also, let me add one more, maybe not so pertient. alanogy... If you will...

Lots of Dev's use De-Odex... No doubt. ONly a few, like myself use Odex.

Lots of drones uses Apple iPhones and Apple iPads over the Android counterpart.......

Just because the masses do it doesnt mean its better.

Nuff sed?

I have no issues at all. Everything works perfect. What kinda of issue are you having?

Based on your analysis, factory stock rom should perform exactly the same as your Odex rom(rooted)!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Correct!

BUT if you are comparing to CleanROM then you are incorrect!

CleanROM incorpoirates many filesystem and other performance enhancements plus a customized kernel to further increase performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawiseguy77:
Hey are any of the kind of poop mods coming for this build? I really like the jelly bean animations and the adjustable toggles and the animated stock batt with percentage and brightness slider. Thats why i havent jumped to this stock version yet.

Haha, that's easy, CleanRom would be faster!!

So jaj6503, what was your reason to flash this rom??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Wants his phone to perform at max potential?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Because Scott's hands have touched it. I'm a fan boy of his haha. Been following him for two phones now. He always has the best most stable roms hands down. His Rom on the rezound used to fix issues other roms created. Nuff said

What's your reason to not flash it you argumentative s.o.b?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No no, I dont think he is arguing, Just wants to learn more... Maybe...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
All I know is you rock. :beer: cheers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Haha, you right scrosler, just want to know why people flashing a rom with the exact performance? maybe they don't understand the logic behind it or they're flashcoholic? If I want better rom, I would go straight to CleanRom. and for hopesrequiem, if you search for my posts, I always bragged and recommended people here about Cleanrom and Clean kernel are the BEST on this G3 forum!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
OK so I managed to get SuperSU working again but I can't for the life of me figure out how the hell to switch to the regular Superuser app. It says that all I have to do is flash the binary update in the regular Superuser app and then it's supposed to take over but it keeps failing at either "Gaining root access..." or "Making sure new su works...". I even managed to completed remove all traces of Superuser, SuperSU, and all su binary in the build (effectively removing root access entirely) and then just flashed Superuser in CWM like I normally used to and it still won't grant the Superuser app root access anymore, it doesn't even pop up with any notification. I'm not so much worried about keeping SuperSU as much as I feel that something is causing this issue in the build as it really should just be as easy as flashing the new su binary in Superuser app's properties and it's supposed to take over as the root manager app. This is according to what I read at least.

Any insight into this issue? Have any of you guys successfully have the regular Superuser app working after flashing this build? If so please list step by step how you did it. Would really appreciate a little help here if anyone is aware of what might be going on because according to what I have tried to get Superuser app working, none of it worked, which logically makes no sense to me so trying to learn if there is maybe something I'm missing here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Flashaholic! People just flash anything. I could make a ROM called FailROM and put in the OP it wont even boot and I garauntee it would have a 1,000 downloads! Ahahahahaahah...

And the funny thing is... You know its true! lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yeah, switching form inside the ROM has never worked for me. I am a bigger fan of SuperSU. You can alwways do this....

Take the files for SuperSU /system/app/Superuser.apk and /system/xbin/ and delete them. Then take the Superuser flashable zip and flash it in recovery and it shoudl do a clean switch. But in all honesty, i don understand why you want to do that? Its going backwards in technology, IMHO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
The funny thing is like I mentioned I actually did delete all those files and then flashed the Superuser flashable zip and it still wouldn't work. It's just a personal thing really, I prefer the good old trusty Superuser app since it's simple and I've never had any issues with it. Nothing against SuperSU of course. Like I said I'm willing to keep it, my main thing is figuring out why what I'm doing has no effect on the Superuser app working properly again. I'd really like someone else to test this just to make sure I'm not going crazy here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Haha reminds me of cleanrom de on rezound when you first released haha. It is an alpha work in progress that probably won't work hahaha yet it worked fantastic
