I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a way I can update to build 4 from build 3 without having to wipe everything and having to set all my apps and tweaks all over?

Add screen capture to power menu mod
Add swipe abale notification possibly swipe able widgets.

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:

Thanks for sharing. Works and looks nice, the "KG4 modem" resolved my WiFi non-connection issue.

Great ROM, I've been using it for a couple of days now and all is well. I'm especially glad that Wifi Calling works if you reinstall with Titanium. It doesn't work properly with some of the ROMS that have it removed.

I do have one question though....Why is this posted in the General section and not the Dev section? I didn't even know the ROM existed for a while since I rarely look at anything other than the Dev threads.

Thanks again for all the hard work putting this together and sharing it.

Most likely because FB did not develop this rom. This is Ravers rom just customized the FB way (which is amazing btw). It does tend to slip through the cracks a little bit over here but I do believe it is the correct place for it.

Awesome work FB. Loving build 4.

    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.
