Use my ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible if you break your phone. Always do a NAND backup or other backup, and READ. (unless you like losing your data).


Review and install videos
Hopefully someone will make one for the JB build. Hint hint hint ;)

To Install

  1. Before installing make sure to have installed or have a JB modem ready to install. You will not have 3G on an ICS modem
  2. Boot to recovery
  3. Make an NAND Backup
  4. Wipe the phone (with a Format All script)
  5. Flash the ROM (If your recovery complains about a stock recovery begin flashed after the install. That can be ignored. This is to support init.d scripts for now.)
  6. Boot the phone
  7. Go to the updater (Under the stock section) and install Part 2 (Two part install is to finish theming Talk)
  8. Reboot and Enjoy

Downloads

Wipe before installing over any previous builds

Thanks to tdunham for all the great guides and work he has done. Made getting a lot of the mods into the ROM a piece of cake. Everyone should go thank him.

Thanks to everyone who has donated to keep the Kuban project up and running. You guys are the reason this is still alive.

It has arrived!

Blu Kuban has always been my favorite rom of all time for my phone, also the first. Now it’s nice to see that Rujelus has continued to develop it onto JB after getting an S4!! Even though this may be the last rom I flash for this phone, it was a fun, learning experience that I will bring to the next device that I get (Nexus HD+ in JulyJ). It is not sad to say that this may be my final flash of a rom on this phone because it’s a great rom and now I am pretty much set with this phone until Boost decides to release the s3—Thanks to Ruj!

Thank you Rujelus,

Sincerely,
ttittoo

Can someone open contacts. Then hit menu. Select contacts to display. Do you get stuck on an error about initializing sim?

    Ok well back to ROM talk. I will have the update out this weekend for sure. I have set aside some time to get it done and am not going to let anything else get in the way. Hope you all can hang in there a few more days.

    How do you get live wallpaper to work?

    Wait until I release the update. Or grab stock livewallpaper chooser apk and odex file from the stock odexed ROM. put them in the/system/app directory and reboot.

    Just an update on the update. Been super swapped the last few days. I am still trying to find time to get the update out and get some more mods in there. They are still coming though :thumbup:
