If you came here by way of an online article, DO NOT FLASH UNLESS YOU HAVE A US CARRIER SPECIFIC SGS3. This WILL brick your device if you have the i9300 or i9305.


Ok, so I'm gonna cut to the chase here. Sense 5 for the US S3.

"This just got real".

Code:
#include android/noobz.h
/*
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * spontaneous combustion, or any other host of cosmic penalties
 * which may befall you, your family, or your phone.
 *
 */



Note: This is NOT a theme, it is the actual HTC One ROM.

Note 2 (haha, note 2): If you were linked here and have one of the carrier versions of the S3, then you CAN flash this without any risks or issues (without any additional risks or issues as if a Sprint user were flashing), as the partitions and specs are the same between the three carriers.

I have decided to release this as a community WIP so that all of our great developers can get their hands dirty with this. I would like to collaborate with everyone to get this ROM as close to 100% functional as possible.
I do not require that you be "recognized" as ANYTHING on xda for you to help with the development of this ROM. I only ask that you know that you are doing (or take the time to look things up) because I expect this ROM to be moving quickly and explanations have no place here. Use google if you have questions.


Thank you.

Please note that this is super SUPER pre-alpha right now. It boots up, but the entire system dies after about 2 minutes and causes a hot reboot (reboots and starts at boot animation)
Also note that it gets "stuck" at the last image of the boot animation. This is normal. In the background, the apps are being odexed by the system.

You, sir, are the BAMF of the day. Thanks for all the hard work here.

Blinkfeed is there and working, but no data connections work so it doesn't do anything.

Very glad to see you make this thread. You are truly awesome man. Very nice work and you have started the fire, prepare to see a wildfire.

For the data, I don't know much but does it have to be a fuse of the Samsung and HTC WiFi drivers? Which device did you port from?

Sprint Galaxy S3 "Supernexus"
Whiplashh Rom
Look it up. :D

Cnexus do you have a log of the current build ?

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

A logcat? No, not for this version. My computer literally died after I uploaded 0.2 so I'm letting it cool till tomorrow...

I guess you could stick in aLogcat after flashing, run that

Anyway, PM me your gmail so we can talk. I think this issue may be similar to the issue you were having with MIUI because everything starts dying after a bit, and the system doesn't even have time to load all the apps up correctly

Are you guys sure HTC will allow this?

My thoughts on this are, this is the internet, the home of every day users stealing software in the upwards of $5000, so, if thats going to be allowed and not really stopped, why take the time to stop us?

edit: in case anyone is wondering, im going to be trying to use what progress he makes and just port it over to the GSM varients of the d2 (att/tmo) i747 and T999

Our issue was that the apps couldnt make data/cache and cache/dalvik-cache directory and they weren't writable

    I am sorry to disappoint you all, but there are too many issues present to go forward with this rom. Unfortunately the very few people involved with the development of this rom and I are not enough to fully diagnose the issues.

    I hope you enjoyed this preview as much as I did. I learned a lot doing this and I hope you all did too, namely that anything is possible with enough determination.

    Additionally, the links will not be taken down, so you may download at any time in the future if you wish.

    Thank you to everyone for your support. Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge required to further the development of this rom, so this thread is now obsolete.
