post please screen

Anyone manage to root it..

 

[rbart]

You can root it with semaphore 2.7.4 kernel.

 

[oswade]

Flashed kernel onto ZSJW4 and it's working good, no problems so far. Changelog too small to change rom today (maybe in a week or so).

Thanks mate!

XWJW7 vs XWJW8 /app/ - only 1 apk with different version :

/app/wssomacp.apk

XWJW7: v1_1202_5_1
XWJW8: v1_1205_4_1

if we compare content of wssomacp.apk - only 1 different file :

/assets/libomacp.so

XWJW7: 72496 bytes
XWJW8: 89300 bytes

wssomacp.apk

OMACP
com.wsomacp

"carrier sms system configuration"
"SMS/MMS notification/receiving app"

dial *#8736363#

 

[oswade]

Ahh, maybe it's cause vodaphone doesn't use mms here, they use "pxt" from what I have heard.

Any difference in system/libs?

What program do u use to check for differences?

 

[omyg]

I use linux tools , like diff

these are different lib/ binaries (same file sizes, can be different compilations of the same library version)

/lib/libcrypto.so
/lib/libc.so
/lib/libXt9core.so

list of different binaries (all lib/ and bin/ files have the same file sizes, probably same file versions)

/build.prop

/etc/ppp/ip-down-vpn
/etc/security/otacerts.zip

/lib/libcrypto.so
/lib/libc.so
/lib/libXt9core.so

/bin/cat
/bin/chmod
/bin/chown
/bin/cmp
/bin/date
/bin/dd
/bin/debuggerd
/bin/df
/bin/dmesg
/bin/dumpmesg
/bin/getevent
/bin/getprop
/bin/hd
/bin/id
/bin/ifconfig
/bin/iftop
/bin/insmod
/bin/ioctl
/bin/ionice
/bin/kill
/bin/ln
/bin/log
/bin/ls
/bin/lsmod
/bin/lsof
/bin/mkdir
/bin/mount
/bin/mv
/bin/nandread
/bin/netstat
/bin/newfs_msdos
/bin/notify
/bin/printenv
/bin/ps
/bin/reboot
/bin/renice
/bin/rm
/bin/rmdir
/bin/rmmod
/bin/route
/bin/schedtop
/bin/sendevent
/bin/setconsole
/bin/setprop
/bin/sleep
/bin/smd
/bin/start
/bin/stop
/bin/sync
/bin/top
/bin/umount
/bin/uptime
/bin/vmstat
/bin/watchprops
/bin/wipe

for example, /etc/security/otacerts.zip is different in XWJW7 and XWJW8, but if you check its content

XWJW7: /tmp/140186/releasekey.x509.pem
XWJW8: /tmp/225024/releasekey.x509.pem

this is the same file (CRC32=6C7E842C), just different folder inside zip

 

[oswade]

Thank you friend

 

[IWastedTwoMinutesOnYou]

rooting it with previous version of kernel is the same as rolling back to previous firmware version so no need to flash new firmware then ..

 

[kzkan]

Yes I used this freamware.

XWJW7 vs XWJW8 /app/ - only 1 apk with different version :

XWJW7: 72496 bytes
XWJW8: 89300 bytes

Then if JW7 is working for this user, no need to update to JW8. Thanks!

 

[octolith]

Sorry for this request, I need the stock music and sound player apk and odex files from XWJW8. I have deleted them from my system, and didn't do a backup... I did a lot of modifications to the rom, it took a long time, so I don't want to flash it again. Someone please upload them

[Ramsey]

Is this branded or unbranded? (I bought my Galaxy s when it first came out in June 2010 if I remember correctly) I bought it unlocked from the UK. Would this JW8 work well on it? I want it stock without extra icons or extra applications from Vodafone.. If this one is branded, then perhaps I will look into updating to JW7 unbranded as I know there is a version here of it.

mformarcee, have you tried jw7 before this one ? have you noticed any difference?

CSC is the consumer software customization (also called Sales Code) and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider. CSC has nothing to do with languages and it will not add keyboard language support.

When I flash a new ROM, I don' flash the new CSC; instead I flash an older CSC for my region, then simply delete the branded apps.

If you search, you may find a way to backup ONLY your current CSC settings, then you may be able to restore them after upgrading to newer ROM.

 

[Ramsey]

Thanks for your answer, I ended up installing it last Friday (August 3) with the same CSC that comes with this download. I rooted and removed the extra apps.

If people are interested in this ROM and are wondering how it performs, then I must say do get it! it is an awesome ROM and very speedy. I had absolutely no problem. The only thing that will remain of Vodafone is the little video during boot-up of Vodafone, that's about it! (after you remove the extra apps using root of course)

I used to be on JVP prior to this. Significant performance boost from that one after one week of use, installed all my apps the first day, and still hasn't slowed down
