Do not flash unless you know what you are doing, are capable of reading, following instructions and using ADB or Odin to help recovery of a soft brick.

b) Flash the v4.0.2
c) Reboot recovery
d) Factory Reset​

7. Flash v4.0.2 (select wipe data option) and reboot
8. Be patient, first boot will take a while !
9. Initial setup & check install “unknown apps” in phone settings

[ROM] [Aroma] [V6SuperCharged] [P6800 GSM/3G] SkyHigh XXLQG ICS v4.0.2 | 18MAR2013


++ ROM DISCONTINUED ++


P6800 GSM/3G VERSION ONLY


:good: * Now AROMA 100% V6SuperCharged for PERFORMANCE "out-of-the-box" :good:


* I am the creator of SkyHigh ROM for P6810 model and have decided to spare some of my valuable time to further help out our P6800 brothers and sisters. I DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE, and rely on YOU to give constructive feedback (good or bad) and let me know how you went.

* It took A LOT a lot of reading, research and trial & (many) errors to get to this stage, so I hope you like this official release and please rate the thread and my efforts accordingly. I take no claim to any mods in this build, and borrow ideas and tweaks from other sources. I just piece them together to make it work.

* This is a smooth & stable release, and I will endeavour to release future updates ......

* You may modify this ROM for personal use, but I will not answer posts or PM’s regarding any related issues to this other than those options in Aroma Installer . I just don't have the time to debug your own mods or others such as PimpMyROM without device, and in any case, they should be posted in the appropriate thread.

FAQ & Help

FAQ & Help :



Titanium Backup problems? :


* Try an older version : http://matrixrewriter.com/android/


Aroma Installer Freeze :


* Use TWRP Recovery instead of CWM

* If need be, use volume rocker to navigate & power button to select option

* Instructions are here: [RECOVERY]TWRP 2.3.1.0 touch recovery [2012-10-15]



Bugs :


* If any app fails to install correctly in data/app (0 bytes) : Delete using a root explorer app, boot into recovery and wipe dalvik-cache, then download required app fresh from Google Play instead

* AC!D Audio Mod - Selecting sound enhancments from the walkman menu may FC

* Asus Day Scene live wallpaper has no animations. Please reboot device after "Set wallpaper"

* All ROM functions known to work as released by Samsung


What is the difference between Android builds ie. LP8 → LQG? :
Added to help one lazy troll researching the answer for him/herself

*

Samsung have released the base firmware with a much higher changelist, meaning, probably some bug/exploit fixes and other "under the hood" improvements

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

* Only Samsung know exactly what improvements were made in the changelist


Will flashing this ROM wipe my data? :


* NO it won't wipe your data, but data wipe is a requirement in Aroma to ensure a bug free device. Just backup data and nandroid first.

* Installer will auto wipe : system, cache, dalvik-cache & preload

* If updating from a different ROM or android build/version, it is a requirement that you follow the installation instructions fully in Post #2 and read the notes below it!


Entropy Lag "Fix" :


* I created the script sourced from info here

* No need for using Seeder app and less overhead

* To check it's working :


V6SuperCharger is now Aroma Installer option :


* THE COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX ! – by Elite Dev zeppelinrox

[U9RC12T6]Put a V6 SuperCharger +DIE-HARD Launcher in Your Pocket=She'll B Happy 2CU!

>> PLEASE VISIT HIS THREAD ABOVE FOR ANY QUESTIONS <<
THANK HIM FIRST, THEN READ AND SEARCH SECOND, BEFORE POSTING THERE !

* Latest script : V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC12_Test_6.sh

* XXLQG ROM is now 100% SuperCharged

* The V6SuperCharger scripts and other files are cooked into the ROM and will run on boot

* Selecting V6SuperCharger in Aroma will SuperCharge the ROM out-of-the box. There is no need to touch anything !

* Unless,........ you have flashed a custom kernel after ROM installation. This may "break" V6SuperCharger and fail to run properly. Just run the script again that is saved in the Starter Kit found on your internal sdcard. Script Manager will help take care of that.

* Don’t add your own memory or kernel tweaks or PimpMyROM tweaks etc as this will most likely conflict and reduce performance. In any case V6SuperCharger is the only way to go !! (believe me, I'm been constantly tweaking and testing)

* If you wish to modify V6SuperCharger settings to your own, just use script manager and run the scripts that were installed to: mnt/sdcard/ SuperCharger_Starter_Kit. Don’t ask how, but follow the instructions found in zeppelinrox thread or Google for them.


Requirements for effective running (They are installed together with V6SuperCharger via Aroma Installer, so don't update them) :

* Modded busybox v1.19.4 by and binary BY wraithdu
* Superuser app (SuperSU v0.97 wouldn’t work)
* DO NOT RUN WITH OTHER 3rd PARTY TWEAKS !! Let V6SuperCharger do its thing
* Flashing V6SuperCharger in Aroma will wipe your existing init.d scripts and replace your build.prop tweaks!! Don’t worry, this is all you need


Some info of some installed V6 tweaks (info sourced from zeppelinrox scripts and thread & scripts) :

Die-Hard Launcher : [RC9] ULTIMATIC RC6! [EXE]-=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=-With Maximum MultiTasking Mods!

* Reduced home screen re-draws
* Patched services.jar with improved OOM groupings etc
* Max multi-tasking mods
* Time-killer - changes Android killing apps from 30 mins (even if free RAM avaialable!) to 24 hrs
* Service preserve

Run each boot :

1 V6SuperCharger
2 BulletProof Apps
3 KickAss Kernelizer
4 Fix Emissions
5 Detailing
6 Wheel Alignment
8 Engine Flush-O-Matic mode
9 Entropy-ness Enlarger (lag fix)
10 Miscellaneous build.prop tweaks

V6SuperCharger :

BulletProof Apps :

* ZipAlign optimizes all your apps, resulting in less RAM consumption and a faster device!

Engine Flush-O-Matic mode :

* Prevent ROM getting laggy after some time
* Currently set to flush cache every 2 hours

Entropy-ness Enlarger (lag fix) :

* MAY save battery & or boost responsiveness

Miscellaneous build.prop tweaks


Screenshots





Languages :


v4.0.2 XXLQG

* As released by Samsung - Post #371

* Will more language support be added? NO, I am not a translator, and only if the newer base released by Samsung natively supports it !


Video & HDMI out :


* You tell me HDMI out to external display should work as released by Samsung

* Natively, not all video codecs are compatible through stock video player. You may need to install a codec supported video player app from Google Play. Try without the ARMv7 add-on first

* You also need a Galaxy Tab™ HDTV Adapter + HDMI cable + power supply for the tab + HDMI enabled TV or display


Battery Life & Performance :


* Give the ROM time to build its caches and “bed in” etc.


* Battery % reporting may need to be re-calibrated
1. Use your device to NEAR zero % (ie. 2%)
2. Fully recharge uninterrupted
3. Unplug when 100%

* Actual drain really depends on your own configuration, and has nothing to do with this ROM.


Some Tips :


* Lower screen brightness and time-out

* Check apps running in background, unneeded auto-starting apps, auto-sync, GPS, wifi, rogue apps etc
BetterBatteryStats is a good app for checking wakelocks.

* Remove or freeze unwanted System apps (bloatware), disable animations (you will lose CRT off animation until re-enabled), motion etc


Mods & Apps :


* I have not seen or measured any negative impact to ROM performance or stability on my P6810 model (or reported by P6800 User during test phase), so any potential improvement (no matter how slight), is still an improvement.

* Any in-depth discussion is to be addressed in the respected threads, links are in found in the Credits & OP


AC!D Audio Mods :


* AC!D Audio Mod "bug" - Selecting sound enhancments from the walkman menu may FC

* May give better sound from speaker or various quality ear/headphones
1. menu/settings/music effects/music effects control panel → select your equalizer, ie Noozxoide (not for walkman)
2. Check the thread HERE for Q&A
3. Your existing equalizer may not be compatible or cause issues. This should be uninstalled before flashing (but the data wipe should have taken care of that!)


AGPS :


1. Open internet connection
2. Use "GPS Status" app (menu/tools/manage agps state/download) and then wait for first fix.
3. ++ After that, subsequent fixes should be much faster ++
4. Try and see how location locks in Maps

v4.0 on its way !

OK flashaholics, SkyHigh ROM P6800XXLQG v4.0 is uploading now... TEST ONLY - SOME THINGS MAY NOT WORK !!

P6800 GSM/3G MODEL ONLY

This is gonna take a while (couple of hours). So NO F5

There will be no real surprises, with new base and integrating/updating a couple of things. It took time to just get that far.

Will post back with link for test and short change-log or if there is any upload delay.

Let’s hope it boots and is without issue! :fingers-crossed:

If all's OK, I'll look into v4.1 after I take care of my P6810 ROM

.

There will be no ICS v4.1 release.......

I am away on business right now, but will set about (time permitting) on a BASIC P6800 SkyHigh JB ROM as soon as I return Sunday.

Mods & tweaks etc will come along in further releases, some only after testing on a P6810 JB release first.

Just stay tuned to the development section for a NEW thread

No ETA

Cheers,

UITA
