README FIRST

PLEASE READ (READ AGAIN) POST #1, #3 BEFORE YOU POST ANY QUESTIONS. IF YOU ARE NEW TO FLASHING, NOT FAMILIAR WITH TERMS POST IN Q&A SECTION FIRST.

Introduction

This is the EMBRYO ROM, currently based of the ICS leaks for ATT Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (ATT SGH-I727), thanks to the designgears and the unknown leak source.

HOW I DO THINGS

I painfully deodex, zipalign ROM, using my stringent process, no kitchen tools or dumping crap in the classpath, every apk will be deodexed with *only* what it needs. Not I apply this rule to any Samsung APKS I port from other roms (such as SGS3). Hence EMBRYO is all about:

• high quality
• fixing what Samsung should have fixed
• enabling restricted features
• key unique enhancements
  
• of course being your daily driver.
• it will be a "clean-room" implementation, always.
  
• I dont release half cooked stuff, the rom has to go through my daily driver tests before it gets to you .
  

Themeing will be sparse, if any, if someone wants to volunteer, great, I will include it as an add-on in the OP. If this is not what you are looking for move on, this ROM is not for you. I provide everything kernels, radios and ROMS, do NOT use it from anywhere else, since everything I do is from scratch, I can vouch for what I have provided.

EMBRYO and SAMSUNG RELEASES (OFFICIAL AND UNOFFICIAL) Mapping

EMBRYO-3.x : based of UCLE2 LEAK. Only UCLE2 kernel will work. You can flash any RADIOS that I have provided in the OP.

EMBRYO-2.x : based of UCLD2 LEAK. Only UCALC4 and UCLD2 Kernels. You can flash any RADIOS that I have provided in the OP.

EMBRYO-1.x : based of UCALC4 LEAK. Only UCALC4 and UCLD2 Kernels. You can flash any RADIOS that I have provided in the OP.

README FIRST BEFORE FLASHING

1) PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST #1 and #3. READ IT AGAIN, BEFORE YOU POST A REPLY. MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED.

2) I will give you my development environment. I ONLY use the recovery that I have posted in the RECOVERY Download Section here. All the CWM flashable zip are tested with that and NO OTHER RECOVERY. If you are doing Fix Permissions, Darkside Wipe (ATT Users Only) or god knows what else, something is wrong with your recovery, I have confirmed this with multiple users.

3) ATT Skyrocket Users: If you have never flashed the ONE CLICK ODIN Leak, please just DO IT. Follow the instructions in POST #3. Rogers Users, you are out of luck unfortunately, as the one click will not work for you.

4) Please DO NOT FLASH KERNELS and RADIOS FROM ANY OTHER PLACE. USE THE ONES I HAVE PROVIDED IN THIS POST. AS I BUILD AND VERIFY THEM TO ENSURE IT WORKS CORRECTLY WITH EMBRYO ROM.

DISCLAIMER

You take full responsibility for flashing anything from this post or things go bad!. Although, I take great pains and verification before I post anything.

Features and ChangeLog

Please check the subtitle for date and major release. All features listed here should be available in the latest ROM.

03-JUN-2012 (EMBRYO-3.2)

NOTE: The SGS3 apks were deodexed, zipaligned and the mods built on top of that (yup, can't trust anyone ).
♣ Fully ported SGS3 Launcher, removed Trebuchet. A lot of effort went into this, please don't kang the work. (NOTE: it is identified as Galaxy3 Launcher in EMBRYO).
♣ SGS3 Launcher: all widgets that come with EMBRYO supported out of the box.
♣ SGS3 Launcher: enabled wallpaper scrolling WITHOUT using any third party tools. (NOTE: even the stock TouchWiz launcher in EMBRYO supports it).
♣ SGS3 Launcher: You can set wallpapers by long pressing the workspace, works flawless. Except that Home and lock screen wallpaper will only set lockscreen. (Setting via Settings will still work though).
♣ Fully ported SGS3 S-Voice, hence update will remove the vlingo if it is there. Again, I have fixed most of the issues, but I have not tested all the features let me know so I can fix it next.
♣ Enabled SIP address kind in contacts (can someone test this?)
♣ Enabled In Call Equalizer (all options available now, again someone needs to test this).

♣ To make room for S-Voice, I have moved all additional ringtones/alarms/notifications to the sdcard. (delete it from there if you don't want it).
♣ YEAH!! Moved space heavy apps to /data (out device has 2GB), so S-Voice is ported to /data now. This will eat 100MB of your data..sorry folks if you cannot give me that much room..

INSTALLATION

Please read the FAQ also, in case you run into any issues. Also, please follow the appropriate instructions for FULL ROM and UPDATES, below.
Installing FULL ROM (Data Wipe required)

IMPORTANT: These instructions are for full ROM. Requires Cache, Data wipe, in addition it is recommended to do a Format /system. You can pick and choose the RADIO that works best for you from the RADIOS section below, the ROM DOES NOT flash a RADIO.

♣ 1. Backup, Backup (both nandroid and tibu).
♣ 2. copy the update zip to your sdcard (doesn't matter internal or external as long as the recovery supports reading from it).
♣ 3. Boot into recovery.
♣ 4. Perform "Wipe Data/Cache Partition".
♣ 5. Go to "mounts and storage" -> Select "Format /system", complete the action.
♣ 6. Flash the ROM.
♣ 7. Reboot...and PLEASE WAIT at least 5 minutes.
♣ 8. Enjoy, hit the thanks button if you like it.
♣ 9. If you are restoring data from TiBU NEVER EVER RESTORE SYSTEM DATA, UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.


Installing UPDATES (NON Wipe)

IMPORTANT: Make sure when updating you are on the correct version of the base rom.

♣ 1. Backup, Backup (both nandroid and tibu).
♣ 2. copy the update zip to your sdcard (doesn't matter internal or external as long as the recovery supports reading from it).
♣ 3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache (typically Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik-Cache). (NO NEED to Wipe Data)
♣ 4. Flash the update.
♣ 5. Reboot. Please be patient, it takes some time to build the Dalvik-Cache, don't be in a hurry. The touchkeys will be lit up, as it is building.
♣ 6. If the update changes some of the system framework files, you will lose your account settings, please enable them back.

Clean INSTALL (FULL WIPE)

You need to do this, if you have messed up. Please see post #3 1st question. Also, this is highly recommended if you are having flashing issues.

KERNELS

Note, please don't ask for a custom kernel, SAMSUNG needs to release the source, before it can be built. The kernel is basically stock with ramfs tweaks to enable some features. NOTE: the kernels below are packaged as CWM zip file, with EMBRYO ROM as the target, it may work in other ROMS, but I will not guarantee anything.

♣ [UCLE2] EMBRYO-3.X ONLY (ANY 3.X version of EMBRYO). DO NOT FLASH ON EMBRYO-2.X or lower versions. This is the kernel from the first leak. Download

RADIOS

THE ROM DOES NOT COME WITH A RADIO. ALTHOUGH THE RADIO THAT YOU HAVE WILL WORK WITH EMBRYO, IT MAY NOT PERFORM AS WELL FOR YOU. OR IF YOU WANT TO STICK TO THE RADIO THAT MATCHES THE SAMSUNG BASE OF EMBRYO (RECOMMENDED), FLASH IT FROM BELOW. NOTE: THIS ARE PACKAGED AND VERIFIED TO WORK WITH EMBRYO ROM. SEE THE TOP OF THE POST FOR MAPPING OF EMBRYO VERSION AND SAMSUNG BASE.

Please note, radios/modems depend on lot of factors. I have provided the rogers radio which is RAT unlocked so you can take advantage of the Network Mode enablement in EMBRYO-2.x and above. ALL ATT Radios are RAT LOCKED, which means you cannot change the Network Mode from Settings, ONLY ROGERS Radio allow you to do that.

FAQ

---

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS/ ISSUES ETC.

♠ How do I get a CLEAN install done? (ONLY for ATT SKYROCKET USERS)

This is what I do if I really really need a clean install. Do the following, I am assuming you have your PC configured and ODIN installed and your device is detected:

1) Back up your Internal SDCARD (if you are using Tibu, backup the Tibu Folder to your PC).
2) Flash the ONE CLICK ODIN ICS leak UCLE2 or (UCLD2) (here is the torrent link, DOWNLOAD). NOTE: your internal SDCARD will BE WIPED.
3) Now, boot up. Copy the EMBRYO Full ROM to your SDCARD.
4) Since, you will not have root, hence no CWM. Flash a CWM recovery via ODIN, here is the ODIN tar that I use (thanks sk8erwitskil). Download
5) Now, you need to get into CWM recovery to flash the ROM you saved in Step 3). Either use "adb reboot recovery" is you are usb tethered or the 3 finger salute.
6) Follow the Flashing Full Wipe ROM instructions..

Galaxy S3 Launcher Questions

♠ Home and lock Screen Wallpaper only sets the Lockscreen?

Yes, it in my TODO. You can *ALWAYS* use the Settings -> Display and set it there.

♠ Third party widgets, will it work or not?

All the widgets that are included in EMBRYO should work. Any other third party widgets may or may not work, not in this launcher the H/W acceleration is turned on by default. So, you need to be sure your widget supports that otherwise use the included Touchwiz (stock) launcher.

Galaxy S3 S-Voice Questions

♠ Deleting an Alarm does not remove the icon from Statusbar?

Yes, this is a bug in S-Voice I believe (or a feature?). I need to look into it, but you can restart the phone and it will go away.

♠ Double tab Home Button does not launch S-Voicce?

This is in my TODO. I need to look into the keybindings.

♠ How did you manage to get the storage to accomodate S-Voice?

I have modded it to be installed in /data partition. This frees-up a lot of space.

MISC Questions

♠ Do I need to flash a RADIO?

It depends. EMBRYO should work with any existing SR Radio that you may have. I will definitively recommend to use the RADIO with the SAMSUNG release (or leak) that the version of EMBRYO is based of. The OP has *ALL* the radios that are extracted to work with EMBRYO. Flash the one that you want or works best for you. DON'T START POSTING RADIO FLASHING QUESTIONS IN THE THREAD.
♠ I want the STOCK AOSP EMAIL App back?

Since EMBRYO-3.2 I have restored the STOCK e-mail back. If you want to use the AOSP ones (don't know why) I have them as an add-on, see post #1 add-ons sections.

♠ Tethering?
All tethering is Native Tethering as provided by Stock and ICS. And yes, it works flawlessly.

♠ SuperSU asks for updating the SU binary, what should I do?

You should hit the continue button. First time around, some users have reported that the Phone freezes and reboots, I have not looked into the issue. But after the reboot, it should work fine. As a workaround, try to access an app like TiBu, *before* you click super-su. In general, there is nothing to configure in Supersu, i wish it was a hidden app.


♠ I want the weather widget in the LockScreen?

Since EMBRYO-2.2 and above (including 3.0), I have moved to AOSP lockscreen, which does not support it. Please flash the Stock LockScreen (it is in the download sections, Add-ons). Please make sure you select the appropriate one for the version of EMBRYO you are running.. You must have flashed the AOSP Lockscreen add-on, flash back the Stock Lockscreen from add-on (make sure the version matches the EMBRYO one).

♠ Setting Lockscreen Wallpaper?

ICS has a very rich set of settings. And since I don't know exactly what the behavior is supposed to be, since we don't have the official manual yet, I cannot help you with the settings much. And on top of it your security settings affect it. If you want the normal behavior, go to Settings -> Display -> Lock Screen Wallpaper. Set you wallpaper there. Then make sure in Settings -> Security -> Lock automatically is set to "Immediately". NOTE: the above applies to Stock WallScreen (i have not tried it in AOSP Lockscreen).

See this post #397 for more info.

♠UCLE2 BUG: (affects EMBRYO-3.0) Screenshot Power + Vol low. does not work. Fixed in EMBRYO-3.1
The usual ICS key combination of Power + Vol Low, does not work in UCLE2 (effects EMBRYO-3.x).

♠UCLE2 BUG: (affects EMBRYO-3.0) Backlight Capacitive light bug in UCLE2

Effects EMBRYO-3.x and ALL UCLE2 based ROMS. It currently works on and off.

♠ UCLE2 BUG? Maybe note sure: Installing ATT VVM, might lose outgoing call dialtone.

This is not confirmed yet to be a bug, but some users have *not* experienced this, YMMV.

♠ What about Flash Player?

Since EMBRYO-2.2 it has been removed, please download it from the market/play store.

♠ Do I need to be in the <insert favorite> radio?

Please flash any radio that is in the Post #1 RADIOS section. ALWAYS backup your /efs partition. And I would also back this up in RECOVERY so it is not backed up while running the OS.

♠ Cannot change Network Mode selection when using ATT radios?
Sorry RAT locked..complain to ATT . Only ROGERS radio you can change it.

♠ Rogers RAT Unlocked Radio, two other modes are not working?
I believe the firmware is not allowing to change it to HSPA only or GSM only (need to test it out). So the Network mode feature should be considered experimental for now.

♠ Auto Brightness off and swipe status bar has no effect?
The UCLD2 kernel has this regression, flash the UCALC4 kernel if you need this.

♠ Extended Power Menu Download does not work, it reboots? Samsung has fixed this in UCLE2 kernel, so it should work in EMBRYO-3.X versions of ROM.

The UCLD2 kernel has this regression, flash the UCALC4 kernel if you need this. The UCLE2 and UCALC4 kernels do not have this issue.

♠ What bloat has been removed?
Pretty much all Samsung (except for TouchWiz of course) and all ATT nonsense has been purged.

♠ I need the weather in the lockscreen?
Since EMBRYO-2.1 it is the weather widget is provided.

♠ Will you provide any themes?
Maybe, maybe not, no promises. As bandwidth permits, even if I do it, it will be a port of some high quality one. And it will be an optional thing over the base for sure.

♠ How can I change the Order of the Toggle Buttons in the 15 toggle panel?
Please use the included QuickPanel Settings application in your app drawer.

♠ I need Samsung social apps, Kies aka all the bloat?

See the downloads section (Samsung and ATT bloat) in OP. You have been warned, also make sure you download for appropriate version of Embryo.

Woot! First post and first download. Thanks man. Will flash tonight and test in the morning!

Edit: Just flashed runs fine as I can see now. Ill provide more detail tomorrow. Great work thanks again.

Can't thank you enough, Mohan. Embryo 1.0 was the best UCALC4 rom I ran. I'm sure 2.0 will be even better!

Going to try it out after the download, and thank you for all your hard work on making a good rom.
