Thanks! Thought it would be different and was about to copy just the zImage. Thanks!

*Well, eveything seems to be working except the keyboard FC'ing, the file is there in /data/apps so if you install it, it stops FC'ing. Maybe it needs to be assigned and coded somewhere? If it needs to be coded then I will just put the old apk in there and well, people update it. The kernel installed correctly, once again thanks hechoen. Also, Raver was the one that put me up to this some months back. Maybe he won't remember. Anyway, thanks to him too.

**BTW, Google Play Services also FC's if you don't assign a Google Account but how to do it if you can't write without a keyboard. So if this keyboard thing doesn't get sorted, I will remove it and then is up to people to install it. :)

After some days of use, the ROM (flashed with my updated zip) is kinda buggy. I don't know where to start. So, I decided not to post it.

Among the issues with some apps FCing every now and then, signal drops and data hangs. I'm trying different modems. At least in my area (PR) KG4 is very bad. Also, Wifi connection is lost from time to time no matter where I stand from my router. Maybe it's an issue with BlastOff 2.5 kernel?

I will keep messing around with it. Hopefully some other users come and keep this one GB ROM alive.

Follow this guide to get you back on BML GB, then you can flash a custom kernel with CWM and then install VBFB again

I think it should get updated. I have tried many times but without luck. What you say FB? It seems many people are still using it. :)

This was one of the best GB ROMs out there if it was working on my new sgs4g I would still be rocking it.
Hope to see that.
And good luck with school FB

Maybe it could be removed DriveSmart from Settings menu and add a screenshot option. I don't know just throwing it there in case two devs where to update this ROM out of nowhere. Who knows....

And BTW, I think Bryan's kernel is no good with VB. I had bad reception, crashes and I'm better with Anton's.

This is so exciting!!!! I'll be going back to GB when this happens. thanks dudes!!!
Keep up the AmazingnezZ

PS blastoff didn't work good for me either, AnthonsX did though and Wi-Fi calling was also working with AnthonXs kernel.

zsh would be awesome, pull request would be greatly appreciated. I wanna make this a really technical build so I'll keep throwing in CLI binaries compiled for Android. We have PLENTY of room on the /system partition, there's no reason why we shouldn't use it

FYI here I've posted a free light version of ZShaolin for the XDA-DEV forums

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47594948&postcount=7

It contains a Zsh 5 static binary that is well portable.

The full ZShaolin app has more tools inside and is available on the Google Play market.

Hoping you find this useful, I've posted this here to contribute something back to this very nice community, I've learned many things here :^)

Thanks, unfortunately I can't add this to the rom zip without testing it. The last time I tried adding any new apps/files to the zip my phone kept force closing. I really liked using this ROM so I wish I could at least give it one last update but I can't be sure the update will even work without testing it.

Have you see the github page for the rom? If you'd like to add the zsh binary yourself and try making a zip with the makefile I have on the github repo then I could post the update here.

    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.
