[ROM][ZIP] Stock Rooted Deodexed/ Debloated GC01 for SPH-D710BST(Boost)
Ok, bear with me. This is my first attempt at cooking a ROM. I want to start off by saying that I am by no means a developer, just someone who is interested in learning how to develop and theme custom ROMS, and wanted to learn disxda’s kitchen while at the same time hopefully giving back however I can to such an awesome community.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for YOU messing up your phone. Flash at your own risk :)
This is built from the SPH-D710BST_GC01_1014517_Rooted_Restore.tar.md5 http:///www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S2%20%28Boost%29%20%28SPH-D710BST%29/Stock%20ROMs/JB/GC01/Full%20Restore/Rooted

This may be used as a base for ROM developers. All I ask for is credit for taking the time to put this together.

This DOES NOT wipe the internal storage.

This DOES not include a custom kernel, and you WILL lose custom kernel/recovery when you flash. However, I have posted a link to Garywnn’s OP, with his permission, of course, which has the latest and greatest GC01 SPH-D710BST kernels with Agat’s recovery. Version 3.0 is the latest as of this post, and I have confirmed that it works with this ROM, as is it what I’m using with it at the moment.

This DOES NOT wipe the data partition.

ROM has been tested on Boost and Sprint (Thanks Stryke_the_Orc and MoHoGalore). If anyone wants to take a chance and see if it works on Virgin, it’d be much appreciated. Let me know if it works!

Installation Instuctions:
1. Download the ROM zip to your phone
2. Reboot to recovery (I used SXTP’s GC01 3.0) or Odin to EL26Link
3. Wipe cache/dalvik(Good habit) – If you want to wipe everything, use JB Format x2
4. Flash Modem (If needed. You need JB Modem to have data)
5. Select install zip from sdcard
6. Select choose zip from sdcard if your zip file is on the external sdcard or select choose zip from internal sdcard if you downloaded the zip right to your phone
7. Select the zip. If you downloaded directly to your phone it is in the Download folder. Otherwise, it is wherever you put it
8. Select Yes
9. Wait a moment while it installs
10. Reboot, give it a few minutes to boot up for the first time
11. Enjoy!

Thanks:If I missed anyone, please, please, let me know and I'll get you added to the list. I 100% believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Why would people make it hard on you. This is your first release and you did it the proper way. Gave credit to those who deserve it. Nice job on first release.

This place is like a labyrinth. Just saw this and all I can say is "Wow!"

Outstanding. Gives me something towards which to strive, measured way into the future, of course.

Wish I had a Boost device so I could try it.

Best,

Mike

I just pmed you about this. And you don't need to be on boost to run this. Just change your mmsc url to whatever carrier you have after you flash it

Okay, now you've done it. I'm going to do a nand of my current and flash this mofo. Looks on the surface to be my dream ROM. Debloated and unthemed, so I can tinker. I'll have a flawless ROM to which I can always return (Jellyverse, thanks SG), and plug in my launcher of choice (ssLauncher, Nova Prime), widgets (Eye on the Sky, Zooper, UCCW), and other apps, and have at it. (Check out John Nada's work over at My Color Screen, for instance.)

That stated, it looks like my set-it-and-forget-it contentment was but vapor.

How dare you sir!

Thanks. Will post screenies when I've made some progress.

Best,

Mike

Awesome Mike. I hope you enjoy it. I have this as my dd, and it works great. Plain, simple, so it can be added to by the end user. Have fun with it. You won't be able to do mms until you change the mmsc url, but other than that it's exactly like GB27, only gutted and deodexed :)

Hi, JD:

Thank you sir! Very nice indeed, free RAM looks good, running smoothly.

Got my MSL the old fashioned way, by calling Sprint from my handset and playing stupid "(the guy at the store told me before I left last night that I'd have it on my paperwork...well, I can't find my paperwork..."), gal gave it to me instantly, checked that it worked before I started, then installed. Did a full wipe, by the way, including user data. Then changed my MMSC URL, and moved to the next stage.

I have installed Mobile Odin Pro from the App market, and reinstalled Titanium Backup Pro, and getting back in business with custom recovery, my contacts, my call and MMS/SMS logs, &c.

Before I continue onto theming, quick questions: Can I flash TD's AIO 3.5 Deodoxed? Secondly, can I go to bilgerryan's incredible collation of apps and flash what looks intriguing (making sure, of course, that they are zips and deodoxed)? I'd like to kill the Boost logo, for instance.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Best,

Mike
