◀[PORT]▶ 4.1.2 D2CAN_MD5 (๏_๏) ◀DaZed▶ Multi-Window! May 17/2013

☆ May, 17, 2013 Build ;] ☆

Caution, eh:

As usual, I will NOT be held responsible for you flashing this; and your phone self-destructing,

sparking, or spontaneously combusting into flames! Rooting and flashing things voids your warranty,

and can be fatal to your device. Just use your brain, and you should be fine.

Info:

I decided to cook this up because I couldn't stand flashing a ROM and having

individual things like a the phone app crashing, or the browser not working properly.

So I decided to use a 100% stock, fully working ROM. The new base is from T-Mobile

and was flawlessly ported to work with our d2can's. It is a work in progress and I will

maintain this thread as best as I can, bear with me.

So If your looking for a fast, reliable ROM to use as a daily driver,

you have come to the right place! Great battery life, constant updates,

and Multi-Window. ;)

Features:

◆ Stock UVDMD5 Android 4.1.2

◆ APN's set to Telus at Default

◆ Rooted

◆ Zipaligned

◆ Deodexed

◆ Busybox

◆ SuperSU

◆ Xposed Framework + Modules

◆ Sysrw + Sysro

◆ Init.d Support

◆ Multi-Window - BAM!

◆ Premium Suite

◆ Debloated

◆ MHL to HDMI ready!

◆ Themed - Constantly gonna change.

◆ Lime Green & Black Note 2 Keyboard - Fancy stuff!

◆ More to come as I learn

Flashing Instructions:

◆◇{ Always Wipe! }◇◆

★ Download to SD

★ Flash the (.zip) in TWRP (preferably)

★ Reboot and Enjoy!

I will never expect any donations from any users here,

this rom is made solely for the good people of XDA,

but if you do decide to donate, all donations will go towards

getting my wifes Galaxy S3 screen fixed.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
Did you move all the bloatware to /data/app? If not, that would be a good idea, so users don't have to delete each individual apk in /system. Just my 2¢…
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
I haven't done that, out of fear of the ROM suddenly not working, but I like the suggestion, so I'll give it a shot when I can get a good update going. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Feel free to pm me anytime with questions
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] *KiD CuDi*:
What does this ROM use as a base? Is it LK4, LK3, LL1??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AxAtAx:
Be more descriptive in the subject line, if you would have put DLK4 in the description, I would have flashed already.. I will now, thanks, good work, not many DLK4 based roms. Others may want to know that also. Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Dropbox has download limits and what not so if you would like I can mirror it on my paid dev-host.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kornklown69:
he has a screen shot that shows......how can u not see it lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] prasanthlt:
What rom is this based out of? Rogers, bell, Telus?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Telus
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
I'd appreciate that if you still wouldnt mind.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Because there is some trouble with having to fix root permissions after installing, I may need a new base rom just to get this running smoother. I was hoping for a flawless start, So if anyone could suggest where to find a better base, I'd be very grateful. Preferably with root injected already.

The original base was from ATGAdmin's thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
What's providers base do you want ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Telus preferably

Edit: Got a new base, beta version is working good, root permissions fixed and themed even more.

Updated and good to go!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] *KiD CuDi*:
That's the modem version in the screenshot, not the build number. But the OP has been updated and its based on telus lk4. Will be flashing soon, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Update: Theming individual apps in the ROM, and attempting to replace the keyboard, thanks akapaul26 and enewman17!

Edit: There's gonna be some crazy changes to this soon, I've been unable to do anything with my little one running around, and working full time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Fancy green Keyboard from the note 2, many thanks to enewman17 for the process of setting it all up, and akapaul26!

Fancy Loading bars!

Uploading the new version. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasjk:
where is the download link? :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
It just finished uploading and the download link is in the first post. Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
Love your rom! Much faster than previous roms I tried, like dandroid which I liked a lot. Keep up the good work. No issues so far
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Got an update for you guys soon!

SystemUI = beefed up!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
:cool:

So which one should be the DaZed "mascot"

:sly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
The first or third one
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
It's nice to see another Canadian based ROM here. This one is definitely my favourite. Keep up the great work!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
New build uploading. Enjoy!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
Really like the new update. For some reason that's the only rom I get signal in my office. Maybe because it's a Telus rom and I'm with Telus. Maybe it's only matching RIL and modem, anyway it's great to finally have signal in my office. Battery life is also great. I'm keeping it for sure. Thanks OP!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Thanks very much for all the support you guys, hope the ROM is workin' smoothly for you all. Will have more updates as things change!

By the way can I ask for your feedback on the colors and icons?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
Really like the colors and icons. Sense battery is really nice. Maybe would prefer the mute and 3G/4G buttons in another color than pink but it's not a big deal.

Thanks again for this real fast and smooth rom!

p.s: Monsters in the notifications look nice ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
I was planning on switching the colors so I'll do that today if I have time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
I will download the update when I am at work today. So for no issues at all with the ROM. Running smooth. Really like the colour scheme you have with it.

Personally I like the pink in the status bar, it stands out among the rest of the icons.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
So I've been trying for a long while now, to add in OG battery mod, so that theres a little more customization for you guys, but, my computer is ancient and definitely gonna break down soon. It cant run the program used to add in the mods.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2181766

Can someone be so kind as to help me add in some extra battery icons? The process looks rather simple, I just lack the needed hardware to get the job done.

If someone could lend a hand I'd be super grateful, just reply here, or PM me and I'll send you a link to the version I need modified!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
The link is dead :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Yeah Dropbox is lame like that.. Can anyone suggest where I can host a ROM online for free without it being removed for absolutely no reason?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
What about uploading it to Google drive? Or does that have the same limitations as dropbox.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
I have no idea. Though I will update the ROM as soon as I can and update the link too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
Media fire bro. Best place ever.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Hmm I'll sign up then, thanks my good sir!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
Wait sorry. You're uploading the whole ROM? Try devhost.

I used media fire for my launcher ports in my sig, so I thought it might be useful to you.

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

I can temporarily host it on box for you if it's under 1gb.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
There is also androidfilehost.com and goo.im. If you are looking for strictly android file hosting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
I signed up for androidfilehost.com and requested dev access so I am now waiting to be able to upload. I tried various other file hosting sites and services but its been a no go so far.. Sorry guys.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
Sorry i couldn't be of more help dude.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
No worries and I appreciate all the help everyone has been offering this far, I really do.

I now have Developer access and am done uploading the Rom for you guys. Its a May, 11th build and has only had minor status bar color changes. Wifi, Signal, LTE, 4G, Mute, and Vibrate color changes. Let me know what you think?

Edit: Does anyone else see the OTA update icon?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
Great update. Like the colours you put in the Rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
+1. Really like the new colors and theme. Keep up the good work.

For those of you looking for a perfectly stable Samsung stock rom, fast, debloated and with great battery life, I highly suggest this rom. By far the most perfect Samsung rom.

Thanks again OP for this great update
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
After using this rom for a few hours straight, I can easily say this is the best touchwiz rom available. Works like a charm with no issues at all. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what you have planned for it in the future.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Big changes ARE MOST DEFINITELY: headin' our way!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Looks like I'm going to give this a spin today. Especially after reading this comment!

Can you elaborate?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Well im just trying to incorporate a new base,

So far so good one last thing to do and then ill be working away on a new version of DaZed with multi-window!

Anyone know how to change a roms default APN???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazynewfie:
Can't wait to try it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Just a little update for you guys:

~ Default APN's are fixed

~ Multi-Window works flawlessly and fast as hell!

~ New Base is running smooth

~ DaZed icons and changes being implemented as I type

~ Debloating and removing T-Mobile crap

~ lots, lots more.

So It should be ready in the next day or so,

I don't wanna release it too early and make a million more changes.

So please hold tight everyone, the wait will be worth it! :highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Thanks for the update! I zapped the T-Mob crap myself and it's now instantly better (less purple, not that there's anything wrong with purple :) )
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
Gonna be a great update. Can't wait!

Keep up the great work.

:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
new build uploading now!!!

Everything went smoothly and is working fine,

so here's an early upload coming your way!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hlucky:
Great, I'll like to test it.

Question is, the default is Telus and I'm on Bell. It will switch automaticly or i have to change the APN (i don't know bell's one) or go to check for networks and choose Bell?

Thanks,

Luc
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Your phone will pick up Bell voice network due to your Bell SIM card. Use search or google to find the info for Bell's APN. (You'll need this for data)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Edit: saj222 to the rescue!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Trying to replace initlogo.rle with this:

http://db.tt/I7XX73MI
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Another initlogo.rle if I can figure it out..

http://db.tt/Z9W7IKYg
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
Hey everyone.

So I quickly made a bootanimation for the rom. Will post a .gif here for everyone to see. If anyone is interested I can post the zip file. It looks a lot better when it is set up and being used as the boot animation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Awesome job dude!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Nice! Can you please post the zip?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
Here is the zip file for my bootanimation:

http://db.tt/bqZJACYW

To install you will need a custom kernel installed that allowes for the bootanimation to change. I used the kinetic pulse kernel.

Next, I used rom toolbox pro to install. You can move it manually as well if you rename it to bootanimation.zip and move it to /data/local/.

Anyways enjoy. If anyone has any issues feel free to let me know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Anyone know how I'd go about just altering the original bootanimation to say "DaZed" instead of T-Mobile right after the android 4g title?

Also can somone suggest how I can incorporate Xposed Framework, as welk as tweakbox into the ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
Is there anyway of extracting the actual boot animation? Or the images that make up the animation?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
That's exactly what im looking into! :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Another little update being uploaded,

Check Change log for changes!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
You asked for feedback on the new tw framework background? It's a little too much for me. I find it hard to see if certain checkboxes are checked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Thanks saj! Im making my own framework backgrounds, and they will look much nicer and will also be easier to read and see the descriptive text / checkboxes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
If the new base is t-mobile, maybe remove d2can from the title?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Why? Though the base is T-Moblie it has been modified to work for the d2can on Telus flawlessly,

correct me if im wrong but if any other phone were to flash this the APN's would be all screwy and god knows what else might go wrong.

If anyone else agrees 'd2can' should be removed from the title, I'll definitely consider changing it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
I'm sorry but I also think the name is now irrelevant as it's now based on T Mobile and not Telus anymore.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
I am using a d2can device and I am on Telus. I'm just saying that personally, coming to a thread titled d2can, I expected a d2can base.

Any ROM can have the build prop changed to d2can and anyone can add in their APN.

Im not knocking you or anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
That's why I kept previous build based on Telus. It was working perfectly so didn't feel the need to upgrade as I prefer Telus based over T-Mobile
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
A very valid point. I'd continue using a d2can base except for the fact, we dont have a 4.1.2 yet, with multi-window, and thats the catcher for me.

Im just unsure of what title to change it too, I guess: [Port]UVDMD5 for d2can? :sly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
As much as I love DaZed and how far its come since May 1st, I think I may focus my attention to a furure rom when a proper 4.1.2 update hits our d2can's. Ports are great and this Rom is definitely stable, but I'm sure our update will roll around soon enough. :3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
If you are leaving this one alone, I have one request, if possible.

Could you please give me something that will change the psychedelic tw framework back ground? Or if easier tell me how to go about doing it?

Thank you very much if possible and thanks for sharing your work with everyone! :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Ill have that done today for ya, I finally got a day off of work cause im not feeling to good. So after my morning coffee ill work on putting a new framework background in for everyone. Cheers brah!

Edit: I made some real fancy looking backgrounds for framework, build is uploading now. Its been tested and looks great!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
Hopefully Telus releases 4.1.2 or 4.2 sui you can build another great rom. I'm sticking to your rom til then
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
As soon as its released I'll start building again! Thanks for your support guys!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
Thanks a lot. I'll be a tester it needed.

Keep up the good work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
Will continue to follow the thread until our d2can devices decide to catch up with the rest of the world. Until then, thank you for the great ROM and looking forward to the update!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Me too. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scotteb:
Leave the d2can!!! If anyone is in here flashing a rom, and they actually know what they are doing then they will know that NEITHER of the Canadian Carriers have released 4.1.2 so common sense would tell you that obviously it's belonged to another carrier. Not to mention the OP states UVDMD5 as the base. The latest for the d2can (I747M) is MVLDLK4. I'm guessing Adizzzle has just modified the build.pro and apn etc, to match Telus. My point is that if I want one with d2can info, download this, download anyways and make the changes for d2att!!!

keep up the good work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jamesc760:
I have the Dazed flashed on my ATT Galaxy S3 and have one question/concern: Wifi tethering doesn't work. I have had Canadian ROMs on my other phones and never had a problem. Is it because I am on ATT and the ROM base is TMo, just wondering.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
To be brutally honest, I've never used wifi tethering, mind explaining what it is, and its importance and I'd gladly try and implement it in there for ya. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoned99:
4.1.2 released today from all carriers including Telus! I hope we'll get another great d2can version from you, if not I'll still sick with the d2can 4.1.1 version of you :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
Thanks dude! I actually almost successfully made a flashable zip of the new MVLDMF1 firmware (4.1.2 Telus) but I screwed up trying

to obtain the proper META-INF, I used our old META-INF instead... Soon enough though this will be fixed up and I'll have a new build for you!

The Rom itself works great, it's just missing the proper APN for Telus, and the basband looks as though its from the DLK4 build.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick7C2:
I have been looking for roms but all I could find was recoveries. I would love to have the latest cm. Am I blind or are there not any roms for my device?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squ89r97:
I can't even find a model SGH-493, you sure that's the model you have?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick7C2:
Wow I messed that up lol I ment SGH-I497.

edited thread according.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
Nope no roms yet and the recoveries are from a different country so they are not perfect.... At least that is what I was told.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.PC:
Where did you fing the sgh-i497 recoveries? Even from other countries.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I found them back in May, but since this is October and I sold the device in July, I am not even sure. But if you search, you might find something. Sorry.....

Found something on http://www.samsungis.com/Firmwares/SGH-I497.html

will let you know what I findnwhen I get a widows cpio program.

looks like different regions, docs say international version support calling from tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
Nothing new. Just older ICS ROMs for the I497 for Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. If you look here you will see the same and also new 4.12 versions.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Edit: The newest is a Canadian version.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.PC:
Do you know if any of them support texting and calling?

the samsung.com/global says i497 can do this, the samsung.com/us says it can't.

I am hopingbthe a load from outside the US will work.
