[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.


Many thanks to:

________________________________

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.

How does this differ from the CM10 v8? Other than the kernel of course.

Keeping in mind I'm far from the most tech savvy flasher out there, like I mentioned, I don't see a huge difference in most of the JB ROMs. I just happen to like this one a lot. Others may be able to get into far more detail on why it's good compared to other (or vice versa, for that matter, if they feel that's the case).

There is no link to Devil 1.1.0. I can see a folder, but it is empty. I do see and know that Devil 1.0.4 works.

The kernel is in the ROM...you don't need to flash it separately.

Good to know!! Now, I flashed the ROM, Kernel 1.0.4, and add-ons yesterday. Can I just flash the ROM without wiping?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Again, not a techy. Give it a try, just do a back-up first. I tend to always do a full wipe. Seems like ROMs just run better that way, IMO.

Delete...I misunderstood what you were saying.

Waldos said:

I think that DerTeufel has to be the OP.
Did you ask him before put this?
Are you able to answer questions about Kernel, ROM, Modems, UV, NL etc?
Update the proper content of our device?

This is why the "leader team" or the Dev has to be the OP.

Not trolling, just saying: If we want a better Topic it has to be created by DerTeufel.

Thanks for your concern. I've contacted him. If he wants anything changed, or even to have it closed, I'm sure he'll let me know.

Can someone quickly summarize how to get here from Stock? I had done it a long time ago to the ics roms and can't do it again... I"m missing some major step.
So far:
heimdall to stock
root update.zip
install rommanager and then cwm install and re-boot to flash update.zip -> cwm recovery.
Flash this rom
-> results in boot loop.

What am I missing?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

My experience from going all the way back to stock is that I had to flash a Gingerbread ROM first, then wipe that and install a later ROM (ICS, JB).
