Awesome!!

I've installed RC4 and the only problem I had was with WIFI.

I'll send feedback on how it goes with RC5. I'm gonna flash it as soon as I have some charge on my battery.

I was very impressed with RC4! Keep up the good work and thanks for it.

Cheers.

I hope WiFi works well for you at RC5, there is also a tweak included which allows you to also use wifi connections with a poor signal, I gained 2 bars (at the 2nd floor of my house) because of this tweak

If it still may not work i have added 3 more additional wifi tweaks/fixes, So it MUST work at last ^^

Thanks btw :)



It's flashing right now... Hope the WiFi issue will be solved ;)

Yes i hope so to for you ^^, else there are 3 more wifi tweaks/fixes to choose from :p

restore it using advanced restore, then when your still in recovery, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, then reboot, should work. If it doesn't you will have to copy the apks manually (from data.ext4.tar to /data/app/)

When using advanced restore, what do we restore? There are options for boot, system,data,cache...do we select all or just data?

Thanks dude! Great work! I hope you took a quick toke and then crashed out for a while. You deserve it.. haha

BTW-so far this rom/kernal is awesome! no issues at all and seems very snappy. I will do further testing,benchmarks,battery stats throughout the week. Please feel free to send me any additions you need tested.

@brood, I flashed the ROM, but after the restart, I saw SAMSUNG and then nothing. (Black screen)
Please advise..

You probably chose no bootscreen in the script. one option is just a blackscreen, so no animation. Though it should boot normally. First boot takes longer of course.

RC5 loaded > All is OK for me

Hi Brood,

I loaded via odin > very easy as usual , reboot > all perfect .
My results :

standart wifi is ok for me .

phone seems a little bit less rapid than with rc4 .

this is confirmed by antutu score ( 1400 ) which is now 3895 ( 4047 for RC4) ; main lost are in graphic 3D , io database and sd card . Do you have some idea to improve it ?

Also : Please can you explain the benefit of wifi tweak KQ1 and your signed KQ1, if applied can we go back ?, and how can we mesure the real benefit ?

Sure this is a great work as usual ... , thanks a lot for your hard work , can you explain how I can donate ?

best regards
Eric:)

brood i've done as explained and now i got all my data on RC5, but i had a little problem, the application Email is crashing. if someone will have this, just delete the application data and reboot. now mine is working!

brood new question: in the custom label on the right is xda, what is it on the left? sorry but in italian there is written "In corso" that means like "On going" or "Processing"

Thanks in advance!


Sure this is a great work as usual ... , thanks a lot for your hard work , can you explain how I can donate ?

I don't have installed any boot-animation with the boot-script. (First I flashed the ROM before I will change anything)
But I wait 15 minutes and I get nothing more then a black screen after the startup logo SAMSUNG.

BTW Guys, I also had the issue with usb settings fc. The thing is I have no reason to use them anyhow. I use an app that will load to pc if I need to transfer files so there is no need to use the settings in there anyhow. Either way Broodrom said he will be doing revision2 soon so I am sure he will touch up these minor issues..

So far wifi has not dropped at all. Battery life has been awesome. I am using 1800mghz with cpumaster and got a benchmerk of around 4400. It is a bit lower than what I was getting with simplistic but I really like the new tw. This is the first time I am using TW instead of golauncher. I think I am getting battery battery life using TW now but not sure yet.

Anyhow, so far so good!! Thanks brother!!

    - Installation for broodROM RC5 -


    1. If you have CWM installed: format all partitions. If you don't have CWM installed do a Hard Reset (*2767*3855#) Note: A hard reset also wipes your sdcard, make sure you got it backed up
    Note: A format or hard reset is not always needed, you can always try to keep your data folder and flash broodROM RC5, wiping dalvik cache is still needed!
    2. Put your phone in download mode (when off hold: vol -, home, power)
    3. Start Odin, Choose AriesVE.ops file, check "One Package", choose: "broodROMRC5.tar.md5" > Click Start
    4. Wait till the process is complete, now your phone will reboot and show you recovery mode, now choose reboot system now by pressing the menu button
    5. Set animations to a few. (settings > display > animations) For the shutdown-style old TV animation and start enjoying your new rom

    DISCLAIMER : FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE

    broodROM RC4 FAQ

    Q: I kinda like Apple, and I don't want an android pissing on an apple as bootlogo
    A: Well.. this is only a custom boot logo, you can easily change it by reflashing the SkyHigh v1.4 Kernel

    Q: I want to install a system accelerator like Thunderbolt or Adrenaline shot
    A: Don't do that! The SkyHigh v1.4 kernel already includes an integrated Thunderbolt, adding more tweaks would simply bootloop your phone

    Q: I saw the screenstate_scaling script in /system/etc/init.d, what's up with that?
    A: screenstate_scaling is an addition to Thunderbolt, in this script the default awake & sleep governors are set, this script can function as an alternative to CPU Master. You will notice that CPU Master will give you a warning each time you boot your phone since the screenstate_scaling script will interfere with it.

    Q: I noticed that you have set the sleep governor to ondemand, why is that?
    A: I did that because I've experienced some alarm clock fails on 100Mhz, Of course you can try it out yourself, it might work just fine ;)

    Q: I want a better battery life for your rom! How can I achieve that?
    A: You can perform the following steps to gain a better battery life: first thing is to lower the CPU Frequency, the default is 1.8GHz, but you can set it to 1.4Ghz (or so) with Antutu CPU Master. The second thing is that you can set the sleep governor to "powersafe" (can be found in screenstate_scaling script) this sets the phone in an even lower state and safes you battery (see the question above for the possible risks)

    Q: I want to change my kernel, how do i do that?
    A: I recommend you to not change your kernel since Skyhigh gives the best performance for broodROM RC4. Although you can download an alternative kernel and place it on your /sdcard, then reboot in recovery using the extended power menu and choose install zip from sdcard > install zip from internal sdcard > choose the zip file > install > reboot.

    Q: My browser FC's all the time, how do I fix this?
    A: Some people experience browser FC's, you can easily solve this by installing the broodROM_RC4_InetFixes.zip in recovery mode, don't forget to mount /system to be sure it installs correctly.

    Q: My WiFi has constant drops, how do I solve this problem?
    A: The first thing that you need to investigate is your "DHCP Lease Time" you can find this option in your router, if it's set to a low number please change it (mine is 604800). If this doesn't solve the problem you can try installing the KQ1 Modem using Odin (select AriesVE.ops from broodrom rc4 and choose the .md5 file as "Phone" package) and install the KQ1 Wifi Binaries using Recovery mode (also don't forget to mount /system) If you still encounter WiFi problems you will have to wait until the ICS Value pack release so i can permantely fix it.

    Q: I saw the "Module Loader" app. what is this? and what can it do for me?
    A: The module loader app is an app that allows you to run additional modules for your i9001. You can load several modules, I added the tun.ko module which is OpenVPN, the cifs.ko module which is Samba Shares Support (smb://) and the PPP Modules. If you are sure you will never use any of those you can delete the app by deleting "moduleloader.apk" file in /system/app

    Q: I noticed that there are some bugs regarding the ICS Theme, some apps have gingerbread looks
    A: You can solve this problem by downloading the newest ICS Theme and extract "framework-res.apk" and "twframework-res.apk" from the archive, then copy them from your sdcard to /system/framework and overwrite the current files, set the permissions to RW-R-R and reboot.

    Q: I want to change the bootanimation, how can I do that?
    A: I've chosen to keep the sanim.zip layout instead of bootanimation.zip which is default for SkyHigh v1.4. So you can place your bootanimation (named sanim.zip) in /system/media, set permissions to RW-R-R and reboot ;)

    Q: Is your Configurator BETA 4 compatible with broodROM RC4?
    A: Yes and no, you cannot flash themes or mods, but you can use things such as changing boot animation, changing dns, updating hosts and so on (all things that include theme files are not compatible with broodROM RC4)

    Q: I cannot buy apps from the store. how can i solve this?
    A: Wipe the play store cache by going to settings > Applications > Manage apps > All > Play store > clear cache (thanks to nail16)
    If this doesn't work, download an older version of the market here and delete /system/app/Google_Play_3.5.1.5.apk then place the market apk in /system/app and reboot (set permissions to RW-R-R) The market will now automatically update to the latest version.

    Q: I cannot change the background of my lockscreen, why is that? I want to change it!
    A: The lockscreen from KQ7 is a beta and does not support custom wallpapers yet. Although you can change the lockscreen by looking in the framework-res.apk file with Winrar, look for "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi" then you will find the "zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg" file at the bottom, You can replace that file by dragging your custom 480x800 lockscreen in there. set the compression level to "store" and put the framework-res.apk file on your /sdcard, copy it to /system/framework and overwrite the file. Don't forget to set the permissions to RW-R-R
    (this also seems to work on the default way of changing the lockscreen background ;))

    Q: I get random reboots, help?
    A: Because all i9001 devices are not actually exactly the same, some devices could cause errors when using a support OC/UV kernels, you can flash the SkyHigh v1.3 kernel or Feacore 1.4 NonOC to prevent this problem.

    Q: I have sdcard fails, how can I solve this?
    A: the developer of the SkyHigh kernel is currently working on a fix, you can read about it here

    Q: Where can I get additional information about the kernel?
    A: You can find it in the SkyHigh Kernel Thread

    well, how is rc6 going? What base will you use? And did you allready start working on rc6?

    Sent from my GT-i9001 using xda app-developers app

    Funny that you mention it, I actually should continue the broodROM development, since broodROM always was a very decent rom.
    And the base will be 4.0.4 AOSP then, JB is just to unstable for me.

    4.0.4 IMM76L AOSP with brood tweaks/additions and a kernel that is compiled with GCC 4.4.3 is the best option I think.

    Also maybe I can now make this customization program that I wanted to make earlier for broodROM Business Edition.
    Which should allow you to create your own CWM install zip, with the desired mods, tweaks, kernels etc. (the program will download the chosen files/mods/tweaks/kernels and pack it into a cwm zip, to save space, unlike Aroma)

    Anyhow, it doesn't have big prio for me right now, so no ETA pls :silly:
