Custom builds By JDCTeam

Long story / Short story:

Some of you may know me from my custom ROMS. Some of you may hate me but a few of you love me because I give you free and stable custom ROMS with bleeding edge updates for our 5 year old beloved S4. Although, not many of you realize what steps are required from Google's AOSP until XDA's thread with my ROM.
I personally test the roms I build. That means that I flash about 10-15 zip files per version I release...There are many times where my device is sitting in recovery waiting for the next build to test. While doing that I saw that battery drain is huge.. temperatures too... the time needed to flash and wipe felt like a year... So with that I decided to build a custom TWRP which aims to

1. Lower battery consumption
2. Avoid burning out retinas with thaaat brightness
3. Stop being annoying with haptic feedback, vibration, "install twrp app", "allow modifications"....
4. That TWRP blue... pff....

So here we are. I would like to share that build with all of you.

Differences compared to original / official builds:

• lowest brightness by default
• Built with Buffcore kernel from our Pie ROMs
• Stop vibration
• Total black / Red Theme
• Use -O3 flag for TWRP executables
• Source built kernel with Linaro Toolchain optimized for jf
• Never ask for TWRP update app
• Stop asking to "Allow modifications"
• Revamped lockscreen. Unlock with button - not slider
• Total black background
• Optimized Ramdisk including performance governor , increasing the speed of flash and wipes

Guide and questions​

How to install:
From your recovery -> Install -> install image -> select the .img -> Press home -> Reboot -> Recovery

Can I flash it through odin ?
yes

"Build#1" ? Will there be more builds?
Yes.

"I loved it but i dont like the red. Can I change it ?"
Yes you can. Send me a PM and I will send you some .pngs. Color them as you like and I will build a specific builds for you. Generally I can make ANY modification you personally want.
Your name? Your nickname on UI? Other colors?
Just ask it!

Do you need a custom theme but you cant build it ?
Do that ->

1. Go to TWRP sources
2. Press the green button on the right side Download/Download zip
3. Extract the zip
4. Theme the images (*.png) that are located at : gui/theme/common and gui/theme/portrait_hdpi ( Thats what S4 uses. Be careful!!!)
5. The .xml files are kinda advanced to be understood if you dont have much experience on how XML works, so i can do that for you (just tell me the colors)
6. When you are done, send me those source (or your gui folder)
7. I build it and release it on this thread

PS.
I would make themes for you but editing images on Linux is not that easy and will cost me many hours.

PS.
i need HEX colors codes...Do not tell me "please build green...build pink..."

Excellent! ?

 

[InTheY2K]

Will backups and restores be faster with it, too?

 

[Retrial]

I've made a .tar file with the latest TWRP-JDCTeam-3.3.1.0-build2 to flash it directly from Odin, if someone needs it.

 

[xXCharlyGhostXx]

muy bueno, ya me había aburrido el twrp oficial.

What is “jflte” ?

This post is intended especially for @side or @Buff99 to answer.

side’s entire original post

In the phrase “Jflte DevConnection Team”,
and in the phrase “JDC TWRP Recovery v3.3.1-0 for JFLTE”,
and in the phrase “Only for S4 jflte” , in the 2nd of the 4 “Attached Thumbnails” in this thread’s original post
—
Is “jflte” a wildcard which represents all (22, by my count) S4 product code-names which begin with “jflte” ? Or does “jflte” represent just the (3, by my count) particular S4 product variants which are associated with the “jflte” (literal string, not wildcard) code-name ?
My S4 variant is jflterefreshspr - SPH-L720T . Is {JDC TWRP Recovery v3.3.1-0 for JFLTE} compatible with my S4 variant ?

if it is compatible because my s4 is the SPH-L720

Hopefully someone is still looking at this thread.

I already have a previous version of TWRP on this phone. How do I update to the newer version, and if I do, will I have to completely reinstall the OS? I ask because my current OS is now stuck on a bootloop, but I can still get into the current recovery.

Edit: I solved the bootloop thanks to a different thread, but I still would like to do the update.

Just flash img file in twrp (choose flash to recovery) - that's it. No reinstall of rom is needed.

 

[belkbuzze]

I don’t have install image, only apply update. What am I doing wrong? Sorry I’m a bit of a noob. Thanks!
