[ROM] Helly Bean [4.1.1] (8/17/12) - Vibrant - DerTeufel1980

Please note! Due to certain issues, as of 08/26 I have moved on to the official CM10. If time permits, I'll update this OP, but not making promises.

WARNING: This ROM probably still has intermittent emergency dialing issues. Do not use it for a daily driver when you're out or could need 911 or any emergency number. If you STILL choose to use it at those times, it's your own fault!

Let's get this out of the way:

This thread is for DEVELOPMENT! If you have non-development questions...which is just about everything that seems to show up anymore.....go to the following thread:

From DerTeufel1980:

I want to present to you the Helly_Bean ROM. The following description is taken from the original thread over in the i9000 section. You can find his thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775169

This ROM is not the official built of CM10 by Teamhacksung.
It is based on their source code, but with some modifications, to allow the use of /datadata partition

Many many thanks, to pawitp, FaultExeption, Jt1134 and all the other people who commit to gerrit. without these, this ROM wouldn't be possible

What's not working or known bugs?

[FIXED]- toggling the GPS repeatedly will reboot phone.

[FIXED]- mounting of external sd to pc (you can switch to mtp mode in recovery to "fix" this).

******************

Build 08/20 is showing as available. I don't recommend dl'ing it as its caused many to have baseband issues. I've contacted Der to look into this, which I'm sure he will when time permits.

(08/17)New build available.

This is md5 sum:

cd703c25d560ce4c3d33cbfcab724427

Changes:
- compiled from latest sources, but still using /datadata (going to be change probably soon)
- renamed the two navbar menus
- added Facebook sync (you have to install Facebook app before)
- added i9000b to supported devices
- (hopefully) fixed modem/baseband issue
- added possibility to install devil kernel apps to installer
- fixed mms for showcase

Wipe not needed if flashing from a previous version, but is highly recommended. Be sure to flash the add-on also.

TF here.....I found, as often is the case, I had to flash the ROM and let it boot up, then go back in and flash the add-on. After that.....golden!


(08/15)New test build up now.

Why test build?

- Because I have added two new devices, for which I don't know if it is working well for them
- I have fixed the navbar not appearing, but now there a two menus in system which both are named the same. One is for enabling, the other for customization. I am working at integrating the two into one menu, but I did not get it yet.
- ffc support for Vibrant


Install process has not changed, but if you are coming from another ROM/kernel than mine, you should create a folder devil at your sdcard, place a file named device into it, and write your device name in it, valid names are:
i9000
cappy
vibrant
fascinate
mesmerize
showcase

users of mesmerize and showcase have to do this!


Other changes:

If devil app(s) are not installed, the menu is not displayed under system settings (many thanks to phillbring for coding me this).

md5sum is: 3b11a106529f10236d2e6139416bc346

Wipe not needed if flashing from a previous version, but is highly recommended. Be sure to flash the add-on also.

From TF: I love the Cid theme from Annex, but flashing his most recent version sent me into bootloops. I'm assuming he will update as soon as he has a chance.


(08/13) New instructions for flashing. Wipe not needed if flashing from a previous version, but is recommended. Be sure to flash the add-on also.

The files can be found at:

http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/

Install instructions:[/SIZE]

Coming from any other rom:
- make sure to have gingerbread bootloaders. (Remember, Google is your friend)
- wipe data/factory reset
- flash allinone.zip
- reboot recovery
- flash allinone.zip again
- flash Helly_Bean_AddOn or Helly_Bean inverted AddOn

coming from previous version:
- flash allinone.zip
- flash Helly_Bean_AddOn or Helly_Bean inverted AddOn


Attention: this is still a test. Don't flash it if you don't know what you are doing/how to get back!

For a new feature cherry-picked last night, go to settings --> system

You can find the official website for this project here (I don't maintain the site myself, if there is anything website related to ask, please use the contact info from the web site):

http://hellybean.site11.com/download.html

You'll find download links and faq on this site.

The usual back-up, complete wipe (if this is the first time flashing this ROM), flashing of files and fix permissions applies.

***********

One thing I noticed is that if you follow the normal flash procedure, it can bootloop, or at least appears as though it is. One way to fix that is to flash the ROM only and boot up you phone. Then go back into recovery and flash the add-on. That has worked every time it happened to me.

You can find the changelog here:

http://hellybean.site11.com/changelogg.html

For mirrors, please take a look at the thread. if you don't find any, just ask in the thread.

I really didn't want to mention this, but lack of experience by some members seems to require it:

If you are unsure of ANYTHING that goes with flashing a ROM, do research first. If you honestly can't find the answer, ask questions. We are not responsible for any action that happens to your phone.

________________________________

Now, from TFordham (you can just call me TF):

I've been using this ROM for some time now, and really happy with it. Personally, I think this is the best JB ROM out there. I find it very smooth, and for an early release, quite stable.

I do want to point out that I'm not a dev at all. The Helly Bean ROM is from DerTeufel1980 and his team. I put this up since his ROM is being mentioned in another ROM forum, but figured it might as well have its own home

Something else I want to be clear about is that I have no technical knowledge on creating ROMs, kernels or other things of this nature. I simply wanted to let other Vibrant owners know this ROM is out there. This fantastic XDA community is the place to ask, as there are plenty who know FAR more than I. In addition, DerTeufel1980 is active in this forum, ago if there are issues, he will help address them. While I appreciate the "thanks" button being hit, it is his comments in this thread that should be thanked.

i am uploading a new test build now.

why test build?
- because i have added two new devices, for which i don't know if it is working well for them
- i have fixed the navbar not appearing, but now there a two menus in system which both are named the same. one is for enalbeling, the other for custimation. i am working at integrating the two into one menu. but i did not get it yet.
- ffc support for vibrant

upload will be finished in 1 hour. md5sum is: 3b11a106529f10236d2e6139416bc346
http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/test/

well, i am uploading the new "allinone" package now. it can be flashed on i9000, captivate, vibrant and fascinate (of course i only could test i9000 myself).

the needed version is detected automatically, but it is important, that you are running a kernel with correct default.prop (this is similar to build.prop, but for recovery).
if you are using my kernel already, you don't need to worry about this.

if you are running a different kernel, and want be sure that all goes well, just create the file "device" at /sdcard/devil, so the full path would be:
/sdcard/devil/device. write your device into this file (i9000, cappy, vibrant, fascinate)

you still need to flash the addons, because they don't change very often, and including them would be useless traffic for me and you.

the file can be found at http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/test/
md5sum already is there, too. upload is taking about 30 min from now.


other changes:
- compiled from latest sources
- added nstools to settings menu (for testing, going to be replaced by devil kernel apps)

attention: this is still a test. don't flash it, if you don't know what you are doing/how to get back

Helly Bean 0804 Fixed

I just found the problem that causes the Status 7 error when flashing HB 0804. There is a bad line in the updater.sh script. I replaced the updater.sh from HB 0803 and it flashed perfect. HB 0804 seems solid so far and it has working external sdcard mounting. HB 0804 also comes with a new Devil HB 1.1.1 kernel. I have slipstreamed the working updater.sh in to HB 0804 and tested and it works perfect. You can download the fixed HB 0804 from my shared mediafire folder below:

Thanks Der you rock!

I might be late to the party but who is going to maintain this thread?

According to TF:

Please note! Due to certain issues, as of 08/26 I have moved on to the official CM10. If time permits, I'll update this OP, but not making promises.

My vote is for DerTeufel1980 himself (although he might be stretched a bit thin at this point), imilleson or Samsgun357.

Regardless of who it is that takes this thread on, it needs to be someone who is organized, a daily poster, not necessarily a Helly Bean daily driver user but someone who know WTF is going on with the different builds/kernels/processes...

No offense to anyone but since TFordham isn't supporting the thread anymore, this will spiral out of control and become miss-mash sooner rather than later. Also whoever takes it on should consult with Der on it as well and make sure he is willing to offer the same support as he did here. Don't know if this thread will be closed or not but IMO a new one should be opened and started fresh.

If you don't agree with me, that is fine. I am just sparking the fire so that progress can still be made.
