Yep. Using root explorer replace the bootanimation.zip in system, media with the one you extract from unnamed.
This should of been in the q&a section though as its not ROM specific. But maybe you thought it was. Oh well, its said we learn something new everyday. I tend to disagree.

Great job i love it; just ran into some issues. (Valhalla Black FB Edition Build 4)

1st
When i do a SCREEN UNLOCK and I scroll for text message (4 tab option top right) the phone crashes and launcher is rebooted completely.

To fix i had to choose "go sms app" in Settings > Tweaks > Lockscreen Settings > Choose Custom APP. I guess it isn't set by default to either GO SMS or the basic messaging app.

2nd
Next problem I haven't figured yet, but I tried to remove the default keyboard SwiftKey X Trial and install TouchPal Keyboard. Everything was fine until I rebooted the phone. It was madness after reboot all apps force closing launcher wont start. Only the dialer and messaging would load up could switch between the two by holding home key. Was only switching it because I text really fast with swype style typing, but I've been using swiftkey for about 12 hours and im loving it.

3rd
MX Player doesnt work. Popup as soon as I open it says "Codec is not installed properly. Please completely uninstall and install again" Had to go to applications remove MX Player Codec and then re-install it through the Play Store.

other than that great build super clean and super fast Thanks ALOT!!!!!!

I'm having battery issues. It drains very fast amd when dropped to 0% if I charge for like 10 mins and turn on the battery is at 70%. Also sometimes I reboot phone and if I got 50%+ battery, when it reboot I get like 7%. I have calibrated 3 times and refashed once. Don't know what else to do. Also, remove some apps and installed a task manager, ATK. Any recommendations? Maybe battery is bad. Help, please. Thanks.

It took a little longer than usual to for my battery to settle in on this build for some reason. Give it a couple total charge discharge cycles and make sure to undervolt some.

I had both the problems in the quote and fixed the same way. Its not a bad download or anything the 4 tab thing is a known issue. i have the same problem on regular valhalla. So your good.

The Tweaks apk isn't an issue. It just does not has a default app set. One must choose as mentioned above. This has been on since the first time it got released. NOT AN ISSUE.

Quick question: How do you assign Google Search to the physical search button? I'm using Launcher Pro and for some reason the physical search key to the right does not bring up the google search application. How do I fix this? Thanks. :eek:

Does anyone have a solution for this? I have the same issue and it's annoying to have a physical button that doesn't do anything.

Thanks,

You have to install (move to system) the QuickSearchBox apk. Search in the Questions Section for my Search Widget Broken or something like that thread or look in Lumin30 stock apk repository in the Themes and Apps sections. Move the app to system, fix permissions and then I think it should work.
 
Having a few issues, ran gremlin remover first, then the ROM installer. It bootlooped on the first run, repeating the Galaxy S4G screen. Reflashed, though have had issues with the market loosing its connection and the battery life has been draining to 50% after three hours. Going to reflash and see if it helps.

Also does this ROM have journaling enabled?

I haven't ever used gremlin remover but I haven't had trouble using Bryan's kj6 one clicks.

Every rom that has a fairly recent aroma formats the partitions to ext4 with journaling disabled

Reflashed, seems to have solved those issues. Something is up though with my connection, using Google market will regularly give me no connection errors, though will load normally a second later. Same with YouTube or other video streams, the connection will drop every few minutes. Also had issues with some app licenses. Tried both kg4 and kj6 modems with no change. Going to try a different rom tomorrow to see what happens. Will try to get logs.

I'm having the battery draining issues. Need to charge the phone like 3 times per day. About the connection it sometimes hang when I'm using the 4g. So +1 on these.

You guys didn't have the issue with build3?

From build 3, the main changes were chaning from anton's KJ6 1.0 Beta5 kernel to KJ6 1.1.0. The other change was adding the UpdateMe app for checking for updates of the ROM. Maybe you can disable the UpdateMe app or try a different kernel?

Isn't disabling journaling risking data corruption? Also. Battery has been really weird going from 5 percent to 75 percent from a reboot and draining super fast at times. On latest build.

    RaverX3X's
    Valhalla Black

    FB Edition

    PURPOSE
    This is the version of RaverX3X's Valhalla Black Edition that I use and customized to my liking, which I'm sharing with you.

    NOTES
    • This ROM is provided as is
    • I am not going to change the theme for you
    • I am not going to diagnose your random reboots
    • Don't come complaining when you flashed init.d tweaks that make your phone unstable
    • Don't come complaining when you use undervolt/overclock settings that make your phone unstable
    • I will only change things around in the rom if it's reasonable
    • No screenshots for you. This is exactly the same theme as Valhalla Black
    • I decided to use git to track my changes so you know exactly what got changed and when
    • I included a compress.sh script to create your own zip file in *nix or cygwin after you make changes. It even does and adb push for you for easy flash testing

    FEATURES
    • AROMA installer
    • Uses a known good modem (KG4 modem, no long sms/gps bugs)
    • antonx's/bhundven's Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 kernel
    • MIUI File Explorer
    • FB's bootanimation.zip
    • Latest version of Google Play
    • Heavily debloated
    • Apps installed by default
    • -- Titanium Backup
    • -- GO Launcher EX
    • -- SwiftKey (Keyboard)
    • -- BLN Control Free (Allows you to enable BLN support)
    • -- Tape-a-Talk Voice Recorder (Allows you to record wav files at much higher quality)
    • -- QuickPic (Gallery Replacement)
    • -- Go SMS Pro (Text Messaging)
    • -- MX Player (Video Player)
    • -- Android Terminal Emulator
    • -- Boat Browser (Web Browser)
    • -- Voodoo Sound
    • CLI Programs! (For all you people who like working in the shell)
    • -- 7zip (all the archive types that 7zip supports: rar, bzip2, zip, tar, gzip, iso, udf, etc)
    • -- curl (busybox's wget doesn't work. Curl does.)
    • -- /etc/profile support (you have to run ash -l to load all the aliases included)
    • Custom /etc/profile file for aliases
    • -- alias l='ls -lh --color=auto' (lists directory contents in long format and with human-readable filesizes)
    • -- alias zip9='7z -mx9 -tzip a' (creates a zip file with maximum compression)
    • -- alias zip='7z -tzip a' (creates a zip file with default compression)
    • Custom init.d scripts (runs on boot)
    • -- zipalign once a week (so your phone's boot will only be slowed down once a week :D)
    • -- permissions
    • Using SuperSU instead of Superuser (for a better interface and usability)
    • Custom /etc/hosts file for ad blocking out of the box

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Download the ROM zip file to your SD card
    2. Reboot to CWM
    3. Flash the ROM using CWM (no need to set mounts or wipe anything!)
    4. Reboot to the ROM
    5. On the homescreen, press the Menu Button > Themes, scroll to the right and select Ice Cream Sandwich
    6. Enjoy the rom
    7. Thank RaverX3X for his work

    Registered trademark. Made me chuckle.

    EDIT

    Well it looks like this rom is getting abandoned, as you can see I haven't updated it since May 29, 2012. Raver has said that he's going to continue development of Valhalla Black so you'll most likely be able to use his awesome rom that way. Installing apps along with the rom is just a convenience but you can always do it by hand from Google Play. I think he mentioned that he was using some of the modifications I made to the rom in his next update but we'll have to wait and see.
