[ROM][T989UVMC6] Lightly Tweaked Stock [25/04]

[ironhead65]

Just trying to be clear, before I touch anything on my phone (it has been pretty darned stable with Jedi Mind Trick).

*This DOES have WIFI calling (since it is stock)?
*Does this require a Radio update (since it is non-odin installed)? I read that some people have issues if they do not flash the radio. I have no issue doing so, just need to know so I can make this transition as SMOOTH as possible.
*Do I HAVE to use TWRP 2.5? I have 2.4 or something earlier (will have to confirm is someone needs to know for certain).
* (this might be for the TWRP thread) is 2.5 backwards compatible with previous backups? I.e. if I move to this to allow the flash of JB, can I later on use 2.5 to restore a 2.4 or 2.2 (not sure which I have) backup - in case I want to go back to my Jedi Mind Trick ICS?


Thanks!

Do I need to flash Gapps? If so what version? Reason I ask is that I can't add a google account and the play store is nowhere to be found after flashing.

Yes this has wifi calling, and while you don't need to flash the radio you might have issues with the radio if you don't. I tried it with the Telus radio and it kept disconnecting randomly and never showed the signal bars, the new tmobile one worked though. As for the TWRP you can use any recent recovery properly, i just like to update and yes it's 100% backwards compatible..

Do I need to flash Gapps? If so what version? Reason I ask is that I can't add a google account and the play store is nowhere to be found after flashing.

Yes this does have gapps, i'm not 100% sure what caused your issue since i tested it without issue. Did you wipe before you flashed?

I have the same issue. I reinstalled and wipped 5 times. No gmail no market. No gapps

I think the current upload of the rom which you "download" is corrupted. When I try to move files around in "preload" section OR the system/app on my computer it tells me file is corrupted. The OP may want to re upload. This would be the issue of why it does not do a proper install.

I'm working on fixing the problem, i should have a new rom up soon.

EDIT : New rom up that should work , there was a system link error with the preload partition. I'm not sure how it never affected everyone though.

Finally got to installing this. Any way to disable the fun "you have fully charged your phone" alert? Very annoying and not sleeping wife friendly.

Thanks!

Guessing this isn't rooted? I installed Titanium Backup to debloat and it said that it's not rooted??

 

[krazierokz]

is SU installed already if so go update it in the play store if that doesnt work do you see permissions in your settings menu any where if so open it up and give root to titanium

That's weird, it didn't notify me of updates, went to check out play store, bam like every app including SU needs to be updated. I'm gonna give this a shot and see what happens, thanks my man.

**Update: updating it got.

Has anyone tested the tethering addon? reason I ask is I flashed it after this room and was stuck in a boot loop.

Thanks for this, I just wanted a lightly tweaked stock rom for my aunt's phone. She was running some super old rom. Flashed this and everything looked great :thumbup:

Works perfect for me just flash dont wipe cache, go to apn in settings press menu and restore defaults.. Voila! Tested today.

You can try tether addon flashable zip from koragg stock rom. I also delete tetherprovision.apk.
Update;I also finally triggered/encountered a bootloop after flashing the addon. I pulled my battery rebooted to recovery flashed the alternative tethering addon from another thread and Im fine now. Hope it works for you.

Thanks for this great ROM -- installed it on my mother's S2, and she loves it.

I have one problem and am not sure if it's a problem in the stock TMO JB or inherent to this lightly tweaked version. In some apps, i.e. "NYC Bus & Subway Maps", some screens appear to have black font on a black background, so I can't see the options. For this app, the problem is in the screen that allows you to download maps for offline use. This was not the case in the stock ICS version.

Could someone be so kind to verify that for me?

P.S.: I did a factory reset in TWRP before installing this ROM.

Here's a screenshot:

Dont factory reset, use infamous super wipe or wipe data system, cache, dalvik and preload. Personally I use infamous cache wipe and infamous superwipe.

Is the tethering addon for stealth tehtering? I'm assuming so since tethering works without it. I just want to be sure. Thanks.

Edit: Bit the bullet and flashed this again. No bootloop this time. Also researched the changes it made and confirmed that it is for stealth tethering.
