[ROM]Cricket Incredible Rom Release Candidate 3 (11/14/10)

[token419]

**** THIS ROM IS NOT FOR VERIZON CUSTOMERS ****

This is a rooted ROM built off the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.21.605.1 release (pulled from signed RUU), which has been rolled out by Verizon via OTA, which got taken apart by me and baked for Cricket.

Disclaimer:

As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.

** Note: You can include any custom scripts you want ran at boot by copying them to /system/etc/init.d/ and making sure to make them executable (chmod 0755) and make sure they have no file extention (i.e. autostart.sh got renamed to simply autostart)

Superuser 2.3.6.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828

Installation:

You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760651 guide for details on how to perform these steps.

Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.

Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery. It has not been tested with any other recovery.

If you are coming from another completely stock ROM (i.e. Sense 2.1 or 2.2), you may not have to wipe data. I obviously recommend wiping data (since it will eliminate any possibly bad/stale configuration), but the update script will not do so automatically during installation. Use your best judgement to determine what works best for you.

let me know how it works out !! MMS and proxy should be already baked in, so no need for my flash, but if it doesnt work, flashing my flash should resolve it.

Autostart/u2nl did not load? I get 3g activity but no apps/web seem to actually work where they did before. I will try reloading autostart/u2nl in a bit.

Edit: autostart is not listed in superuser

my current boot.img in this rom had the wrong ramdisk and thus isnt running the script, ill have it updated in abit, have the boot.img ready to go just need to pacakage it and reupload it, going to add back in the stock apps i removed, except the VZW ones as well and the lockscreen for those who want it.

** EDIT **

RC1

As cool as this is, I see this as a big no no for people who have lost or stolen phones.

My phone was stolen last Sunday, the ESN is blocked for Verizon. Now all some crook would need to do is flash this rom and sell it as a Cricket phone...

As with everything there is always a bad part. As in your case. However I know people that had to close their VZW accounts cause they lost their jobs and went with cricket. This rom can help them. Thanks OP.

RC1

I installed RC1 and all looks good so far but I had to install the stock kernel to get the wireless tethering to work. I will update you as soon as I know something else.

All a crook has to do is take ANY stolen CDMA phone into a phone flashing store and get it working. Actually, I think you can take any CDMA phone and dial *22807 and have it activated on your cricket account.

thanks for the info, ill try to talk to kingklick and see if he can incorporate that into his kernel for wifi teathering (i think its kernel related at least)!!

As far as wifi/3g ill have to look at that, i dont use wifi at all so easily missed that

Im sorry to hear that

As far as stolen phones, as stated previously, if someone wants to get it activated there are many other means to activate it, all of which have to be done at the hardware level (PST Settings), this rom just sets it up for people who legitimately run on cricket to have the correct settings.

My suggestion for you though would be to contact your local law enforcement agency if you suspect somebody activated on cricket and to report that information to them, so they can follow up with a subpoena to see if the ESN is activated and registered on their network and help track down those criminals!!

Good luck and hope everything works out for you.

token don't forget the metropcs folks!!!

possibly flash the v3/3.5 fix after installing your rom or that would be too easy? actually I did a wipe than tried your custom rom and wifi wouldn't work???


EDIT: I flashed the rom of your roms orgin than changed the necessary settings in qpst as per drunkenmojo's original guide followed by metroapn than a your metro v3 flash and everything is ALL good on my INCREDIBLE!

Thanks again for the original metroflash!

I hope you are able to continue development of this rom. My son is wanting to get an Incredible for Christmas, but he is on Cricket. He loves my phone and can't wait to get one and this will help him get it going.

I'll try and help as much as I can! I came straight from Windows Mobile and still learning on these Androids

Also, when I'm done using the tethering and shut it off, it kicks me off of 3G and I have to reset the phone to use 3G again.
