Good for All carriers??

I noticed that the screen shots show Cricket as the carrier.

Will this ROM work on Virgin Mobile and others??

Also, will the ROM open up the micro SIM slot for GSM carriers?

Thanks for the efforts!

 

[Kolma]

Also curious about Virgin Mobile Support
How much free space does this leave you with in the end?

No, the Sprint/VM/Boost version lacks GSM radios entirely AFAIK and only supports Sprint bands (ugh, I know). I wish I had picked up the Cricket version...

...but there it is.

OP: I recommend setting up a standard Android build environment, extracting the blobs from the phone, and using the kernel source to build an AOSP-based ROM. I'm working on doing this with CM code for the Sprint variant.

Dude!

Sweet!

I have the Sprint 510, how much of you guyses efforts can be combined and how much of it is carrier dependent? I'm only just getting into ROM flashing stuff on an M7, but it seems like a lot of it is device/carrier specific.

Hell yeah man!!! Thank you! I hate sense!!! I hate it i hate it i hate it!!! Please do let me know when you figure a flashable zip! Thanks man

 

[Shryvone21]

I can perhaps tell you the format of flashing. I believe you create some scripts in c(main language for building android). The scripts would point to where the custom modified apps would need to be.

here is a link to a working META-INF to flash ROMs
i cant seem to get wifi to work after flash (missing symlink or maaybe wrong perms)
format /system BEFORE flashing, script wont do it, nor will it if you add it to the script (that'll make it fail)

Wifi out? what will happen if you flash kernel afterwards?

 

[rbheromax]

it has to do with the rom. whenever i restore my stock backup, all is fine again, and im using stock kernel for testing all this. although i can test your idea to see if it'll work

Can you give me a link for the stock Rom? And is there a good Rom for boost mobile?

I Would also like to be able to have access to the stock rom back up, my 510 right now is OS-less.

There are two already uploaded in this forum.

Bumping to let you know that the ROM is being uploaded as I'm typing this. OP will be updated with the link when it finishes (~12 minutes from this post. Check the timestamps )

I'm down for the countdown. Should be 4 minutes in when this sends. Also look at timeStamp. I am an app developer, and this phone barely has enough memory to hold my apps resources. Gah.

your missing a symlink in your updater-script

This is the symlink your missing
symlink("/system/lib/modules/pronto/pronto_wlan.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");

I had the same issue when i started on my rom until i realized the wifi module wasn't being symlinked and loaded Also, i have a custom kernel with write protection removed, you have my permission to post a link in your OP.

And here is the link, just be sure to include credits.

Is this kernel compatible with the Cricket revision?

 

[shinru2004]

Yes, i just made a thread for it as well. I own the Cricket Desire 510 so it will be the only variant i develop on.

Added to the OP :3

Feel free to edit that symlink if you'd like. I won't be able to work on this anymore until tomorrow evening as I have a day job I must tend to.
