[ROM] H2O ROM [MA5] 2/11/13 link up

Hi welcome to the H2O rom. This is one of my first roms. I have made many themes for many devices, and have recently started trying to make roms. THIS IS FOR THE "LK8" leak. I plan on doing many things with this rom, and plan on updating it as our phone updates, and as you the users come up with suggestions and ideas. I am in no way a control freak, and would like this to be an open project. If any real developers or members of the community want to contribute or help it is more than welcome and appreciated.

WHAT IS THIS? This is a modified stock rom of the recently leaked lk8 update. I have added many mods to this rom and themed it out.

DISCLAMER: Because i have to. me xda nor anyone here are responsible for anything that may or may not go wrong with your phone. Lets keep this forumn friendly and please be considerate. NO ETAS! I know this is a beta and we will work through everything together just be patient i have big plans for this rom. no flaming what so ever. lets make this a great rom together.

HOW TO FLASH: You can flash this in custom recovery just like any other rom here. CAUTION! this is for people that have updated to the lk8 firmware, and such files. I have not tried flashing this on old firmware versions. It more than likely wont work but you can try if you want but you have been warned! Other than that i would do a complete wipe factory reset before flashing, but if you are already on the updated rom you can flash over it will not erase data. but if you flash dirty do not post problems here thank you.

UPDATING OPTION: if you are currently on ljc you can flash the all in one ljc to lk8 update for the firmware and such. thenflash this rom. i had to flash the all in one twice for everything to update but it did work. https://dl.dropbox.com/s/kh1d22p5xt2ioqs/LJC-LK8-All-In-One.zip?dl=1 make sure to go to that thread and thank those guys.

Ok so what you need to do is if you are on lk8 firmware or another firmware download the all in one firmware upgrade zip, and MA5 ROM, next boot into recovery and flash the all in one firmware zip, next do a full wipe and then flash the rom. You should be good to go at this point. If you are on the ma5 firmware already but an lk8 or ljc rom then you will only need the new rom and to do a full wipe before flashing new rom. if you are on ma5 firmware already, and a ma5 deodexed rom, then you can maybe get away with a dirty flash but I don't recommend it.

23 toggle mod with settings app (does not play well with camera) http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390225151984926762 - do not try to install this app at the same time of fresh rom flash or you will lose statusbar.

Stock lk8 kernel (for those with bootloop problems) http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764248


Instructions: Download both the Halo theme itself, and the Halo icon pack. Install the Halo theme in recovery like anything else. The icon pack is for people to use with apex, or any other custom home launcher, just download to desktop, and unzip file there and place on sdcard. This will give you the look of my screenshots. If you prefer to stay on touchwiz home you can edit the home dock icons with an app called desktop visualizer. Anyways a lot of work went into this so enjoy!

Im real sorry guys trying to find another file hosting site im going to put money on my credit card to buy a membership to mediafire so i can upload a file this size. i guess android file host does not care about you unless you are a recognized dev oh well didnt think this would take so long with them. will be a couple hours before link is back up.

uploading now

lmao so i went and paid for a premium mediafire account and started uploading and then my androidfilehost developer status got approved. oh well i guess thats what i get for being impatient. anyways it says 40 minutes left. since i got both hosting sites media fire and android file host. let me know if you have any idea which one is faster. and i will upload there for all updates.

Link up

Ok guys and girls the link is back up the op has been updated. I am glad to see all the interest in this rom. Remember this is a beta so there will be a couple bugs til next version. I am leaving for the day and wont be back til tomorrow sometime. Taking the wife out dancing and to the resort for the day and night for putting up with me spending so much time on this lol. But tomorrow and next week we will have heavy modding for this rom. keep posting problems and please no fighting, but this seems to be a good community everyone gets along real well and helps out i like that. And tomorrow i will start addressing issues. thanks guys and enjoy.

Rom is sweet, I'm having an issue with the displayed battery percentage not being accurate. Do I need to wipe battery history?

I believe this is because i did not put the script in for 1% battery mod and it is going by 5's. i have been waighting to confirm but this battery drains so damn slow lol. Either way I will have this addressed for the next update. thanks for the heads up I had actualy just noticed it before your post and it was irratating me lol. This is the input im looking for guys keep up the good work.
