-There are probably more small changes that I'm forgetting. I'll edit this post as they come to me.​



-Sharkie405 for the base. ;) See the stock ROM Change Logs for additional base ROM credits.
-dsixda for the kitchen.
-thicklizard for his Arc-Reactor kernel.
-Captain_Throwback for cooking advice.
-OMJ for his latest ROM that I used as my go to when I wasn't sure of the right way to do something.
-See the Change Logs for individual mod credit.





-I recommend doing a full/super wipe of some sort before your 1st flash of this ROM. Personally, I use Superwipe.

-You may wonder while the ROM is flashing, WTF is up with the terminal text being misaligned. Actually, it's not misaligned. I use a slightly modified version of TWRP 2.6.3 that, for some unknown reason, increases the font size in the terminal screen. It's bigger and easier to read. It's one that Captain_Throwback made. You can find this version in the 8th post of THIS thread. If you flash this ROM with Cap's version, it will all be perfectly centered like it should be. So, do me a favor and if you're not already using it, flash it and use it. It's better...

-ArcReactor v.44 kernel
-This ROM uses Arc-Reactor kernel v0.44 (max oc - 1.70) by thicklizard. This kernel includes sweep2xxxxxx features. If you've never used s2w, I highly advise you read that thread to familiarize yourself with that feature. Otherwise, your phone will be doing all types of crazy things and you won't know why.

If you want to change the sweep settings, go to /system/etc/init.d/00S2W and open it with a text editor. You will see this line:

echo '5' > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake

You can change the '5' to whatever number gives you the sweep settings you want. '0' will turn them all off. You have to reboot to run the script again before your new settings will take effect. How do I know what sweep settings I want, you ask? This is why you need to read the 1st post of the Arc-Reactor thread. :) I plan on writing a script/s that will automatically change the settings, I just haven't gotten around to it yet cuz "5' is how I always keep it set. If I'm not mistaken, there are already scripts/apps that will change s2w settings or turn it on/off. I can't vouch for them though cuz I haven't used them.

Besides the fact that I think this kernel is bad ass, is the fact that ThickLizard is a great guy. He supports his work to the fullest and is always willing to help out anyone that has questions or problems. He represents what this should all be about and he knows his sh**.

This kernel runs great as is, in my opinion, but check out "Kernel Tuner" in the Play Store if you're interested in serious tweaking.​
-This ROM is built from the 3.16.651.3 OTA stock ROM at the bottom of this post (Sense 4+/JellyBean 4.1.1).

-ROM wipes data, system, cache and dalvik-cache.

-Posts to do with SharkieROM-LTE v2.5.1 start at post #325




- The 5x6 app drawer mod causes the icon text in 'add shortcuts to Home' to be cut off. It looks like that font size was never changed. I might look into it, but probably not. It's not at all a big deal to me.

- Let me know what you find...


Not all that important OP thoughts on this ROM...


This ROM is still basically a stock ROM with a few tweaks. If you were feeling my stock ROM then you'll probably enjoy this one as well. It's stable and fast, IMO. The only big tweak that I'd like to have and haven't quite figured out yet is EQS (Rosie landscape on/off and the Home Screen menu, primarily). The one in OMJ's mod pack causes settings and random sense widget force closes. Adding EQS is high on my to do list, but you gotta put it out at some point. There's always more to do.

There are a lot of apps in this ROM. It's got all the free apps that I like to have. It's my ROM after all. Be ready to remove some apps. I love not having to worry about space anymore with this phone and so I take full advantage of it.

I also only want to worry about 1 ROM. So I'm not going to make an odexed version. If you'd like an odexed version, use OMJ's tool to do so. IT'S SUPER EASY, trust me.

I also wanted to say thanks again to all those that support/supported my stock ROM. Since it's release it's had just shy of 2000 downloads total. I realize that's not a whole lot, but it was more than I ever expected a stock ROM to get, especially so late in the game. So THANK YOU. :)

Some v2.5 S-ON thoughts and my experience with S-ON flashing this ROM can be found HERE.

What exactly are you guys confused about?

Is it because there is already a stock 3.16.651.36 ROM here at XDA? Yeah, I get that. Does that mean there can't be two? No. Maybe there's more than two. Who cares. There's room here for everyone's work. This is not kanged.

Is it because this is not a "custom" ROM? To make a "custom" ROM you need a base. A lot of people have used diestarbucks stock ROM as a base. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to start from scratch on my own. This stock ROM is not my end goal, it is just my base. But I used the tools and made it myself and to be honest, yes, I'm proud of that.

Is it because this ota was released a long time ago by phone standards? That's true, but I only got this phone a little over a month ago. So it's new to me and it's still the latest official update released.

Is it because the wallpaper says PPCGeeks? PPCGeeks has always been and always will be my "phone forum" home sweet home. Times are slow on that site these days so I figured I'd post this over here where more traffic is to see if I can get some more feedback. Plenty of ROMs are posted here with links to various other sites. I don't see the problem with that.

If you are genuinely confused about something, then say what it is. Otherwise, please refrain from cluttering this thread.

Re: [ROM] Stock 3.16.651.3 - Rooted

I think the more people that jump in , the better. Always good to see new people here. I don't use sense ever (about to give sense 5 a shot, though), but I think it's cool to see new people jumping in.

Just didn't know if it was just another stock Rom or something different, as I've been away for a while. No pun intended. ?

This ROM will be left as just a stock base. I don't plan on updating it at all unless someone points out a major bug.

I'm already working on my SharkieROM-LTE. I don't when I'll be at a point that I feel it's unique enough to post up as a custom ROM. I've still got a lot more learning to do. Thanks for stopping in :)

Please excuse the noob question, is this Stock w/sense, or Stock nonsense?

Thanks Ahead!

was wondering if you had a deodexed version of this rom? its Super awesome!
Sorry I haven't posted it yet. I've been really busy the past few days, sorry :(. I will post it for sure by Fri. if not sooner. There are several de-odexing programs you can use on the ROM if you want it sooner.

Please excuse the noob question, is this Stock w/sense, or Stock nonsense?

Thanks Ahead!
with Sense. I love Sense!
