[INDEX] Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730

[barclac]

No custom rom afraid, i deleted something that I shouldn't, and can't get Google play to download anything, keeps saying Google gapps. Com not responding, so just need to flash gapps again, because I've been trying to rebuild our rom, but no success, sorry.

I was working on the kernel for a bit, but then I found out that the kernel source is wrong, the source-built kernel speeds up the audio on the phone, every sound plays with 1,5x speed. I'll check other sources today...

So it boots???
Omg.
Please share the build.
The audio problem can be worked around by using an app which controls play speed, such as Rocket Player.

Yep, it boots. I can provide a screenshot, cause I don't wanna release it. You can't control it, the ringtone, call audio, everything is faster...

Sure. :-/
Oh well, maybe it's just my desperation getting to my head.

Sure, screenshots will suffice

Here it is:

But it's unusable, cause if I call somebody, it's like that I'm talking with E.T.

Asseveration 1.0.0

I present the first custom ROM for the International Samsung Galaxy Express!

Asseveration
by
szezso

It's not a huge break-through, but at least something to play with. Sadly, I had to use the stock kernel, because of the audio problems...

Changes:
- Based on XWAMK1
- Deodexed
- Zipaligned
- Root
- Busybox
- Removed many-many Samsung and Google bloatware
- Ripple effect
- Turned off CPU acceleration, only the GPU speeds the UI

How to flash it?
- You'll need jjchico's CWM recovery from the OP (till mine still doesn't boot)
- Make a backup of your current ROM
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> choose the zip and flash
- Reboot

Can you please help me out, the link for the new rom above is it a direct link, because if I press it it just stays as a screen shot, or could you please put up a link for me, thanks.

i just wonder... ticking the force gpu render from developer option does the same thing right?
The only thing i notice from disableing CPU rendering from egl is a little battery drain, but ui doesn't feel snappyer, just my feeling
