What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.5 ?

Kernel -
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.2 Satndard (no OC) kernel is the default.
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.2 OC/UV kernel can be chosen through customized installation if you want to overclock/undervault your device.

DSP Manager -
Took MIUI's latest (2.3.23) DSP Manager and fully translated it to Hebrew.
Added 3 snapshots to this post.

Super Booster -
Free memory on demand by closing all core services to simulate a reboot.
Use this if you're getting small memory (70MB and below) and task manager did not help.
I recommend using it with GO task manager widget if you use GO launcher EX.
Added a snapshot to this post.


What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.4 ?

Screenshot taking functionality added to power MOD.
When long pressing the power button you now get : silent mode, flight mode, power off, reboot, recovery, download and Take Screenshot!
If you choose 'Take Screenshot!', screenshot is taken and locally saved in a 'ScreenCapture' folder on your SD Card.
This is completely AntonX's work, specially & specifically for this ROM users. We just added the Hebrew strings. Thanks AntonX !
See attached images below for how it looks like, sorry about the quality (taken with a @#$#$ iphone).


What's new on HebrewValhalla 3.3 ?

Aroma installation -
Installation options : Quick installation / Customized installation.
Quick installation defaults - Sidekick KD1 modem, AntonX's Basic with a twist 1beta3 kernel, Hebrew Valhalla logo on boot, Hebrew dialer and Hebrew Google maps.
All these are simply changeable through customized installation.

Kernel -
AntonX's Basic with a twist 1beta3 kernel is the most stable and reliable kernel for our device and it's ideal for the common user.
If you are a heavy user/gamer or you want to extend your battery life, you may choose to install AntonX's Basic with a twist 1.1.0 OC/UV kernel.
With it you can overclock or undervolt your device - see "voltage control" below for a recommended configuration.

Adrenaline Shot V14.1 + V15 mixmatch
Took Adrenaline shot V15, added 02journaling and 04sysctltweaks from Adrenaline shot V14.1.
This constelation gave us the best results.
Special note - 04sysctltweaks script is handling with cpu governor and scaling, so if you choose OC/UV kernel on customized installation - it will get deleted to avoid collisions.
If you chose the regular kernel and decided to switch to OC/UV kernel to OC/UV - make sure you delete this script via root explorer or similar prior to OC/UV.

Voodoo and DSP
both mods are allowing you to enhance your audio experience.
'DSP Manager' is a system app already installed.
'Voodoo Sound' is located in the bonus apps and needs to be installed.
Recommended configuration :
Tune In radio - Set DSP Headset EQ as Enabled and on Acoustic, set Voodoo Sound volume limit +2db , Bass boost on, 5db gain.
Stock music player - Set 'Dance' EQ and 'Music Clarity' effect in stock music player, set Voodoo Sound volume limit +2db , Bass boost on, 5db gain.

Voltage Control
If you use the OC/UV kernel, you should use this app to control your overclocking\undervolting definitions.
install it from the bonus apps folder.
Recommended configuration - First page : sio scheduler, smartassV2 governer, 100-1100. Second page : Undervolt all voltages by 25mV.
With this configuration you will get extended battery life, slightly better performance and negligible heating.

BacklLight Notification Control
Use this if you want the backlight buttons to flash as messages notifications.
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.

Visidon Applock Best face unlock app in the market.
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.
Set it to lock your launcher and teach it your face for 3-5 shots. It works pretty good.
It comes with a defined numeric combination as an alternative.
Please note it takes up to 10MB RAM, so don't leave it active while playing heavy games...

SD MAID
Installation is located in the bonus apps folder.
Comes with a set of tools, something like CCleaner or Regedit in Windows.
Good to maintain the healthiness of your device once in a while.

My StreetView - An external Google Street View browser.

Samsung Galaxy S 3 Wallpapers
Check your SDCard\SGS3 Wallpaers folder or launch your Gallery.

We decided this ROM will go FINAL in July 2012.

Please inform us of any problems that you are running through.

Non Hebrew speakers can use this ROM as pure English as long as they :
1. Keep (Default) English locality.
2. Uninstall PortalPhone, Hebrew Calendar, Debrew-It, (ID3 Fixer).
3. Replace Hebrew bootanimation (system\media\bootanimation.zip) with this stock ICS bootanimation.
4. Replace Hebrew dialer (system\Dialertabactivity.apk) and Google Maps (system\Maps.apk) - can be taken from Valhalla Final ROM or Lumin30's 2.3.6 APK repository and replaced with RootExplorer.
5. Other debloated system apps can be taken from Valhalla Final ROM or Lumin30's 2.3.6 APK repository and replaced with RootExplorer.
6. Don't forget to fix permissions in CWM afterwards.

Blue note - these steps can be done through custom installation since version 3.3.

For HebrewValhalla 1 & 1.1 - Making a Nandroid Backup

Search the forum for Bali 3.3 kernel.
It's a Froyo kernel but it will serve us for backup and restore.
Search the forum for KJ1 kernel (the one currently included in this ROM)
Download both kernels CWM flashable zips & make sure you have these
on your SDcard along with the Super user and super user binary updater zips.

procedure to perform Backup
----------------------------
1. Go to recovery.
2. Choose Backup...

3. Reboot System

procedure to perform Restore
----------------------------

4. Back in recovery - choose Restore...

6. Choose zip to install --> Super user
7. Choose zip to install --> Super user binary

If somewhere in the process you accidently out of recovery with Bali kernel, your phone won't boot (becaus you're on GB)
Don't worry - return to Recovery by holding the Up volume button, pressing the Home button and power button simultanously.

Please note : This is a CWM V3 guide.
On CWM V5 you can simply backup and restore without a problem, but only CWM V5 back up can be restored via CWM V5...

Enjoy people

Thank you guys for the relentless and great work. Off to flash the rom :eek:)

While I am unable to read Hebrew, I have seen tons of thread related to getting it working properly on the SGS4G, so excellent work both of you! Its always great to see our wonderful phone get another ROM to add to the already fantastic collection.

I do have one question was there an issue with bhundven's KJ6 kernel and the Hebrew modifications done to your ROM? Is that the reason why you included drhonk's KJ1? Or is it performance related?

Hi crackpot

Functional issues.
Will be dealt with on the next version.

Sent from me

Thanks Guys! i was looking forward for a version for my T959V

Hi Fish72, long time no see.

It thrills us to see we can contribute to you, after all the explanations and guides you've given to the Hebrew SGS 4G community.
Your Froyo redux and GB Valhalla 1.2 guides have become the only Israeli SGS 4G place to go and get it figured out.

Hopefully this ROM will ease our lives, and i couldn't have made it without Alon, (who unlike me is an actual developer) and jumped into this project with no hesitation spending this significant time and effort.

Awesome. Glad to see you guys got it all figured out .
