[DEV][RC5] Team Nyx [Android 4.0.4] (ICSSGS) - Captivate Android Development

Team Nyx
-- DemonWav -- Nushor -- Onecosmic -- PaulForde -- RaymondDull -- Trae32566 --​
This ROM is based directly on the source code straight from Google themselves, the way Android is meant to be. This ROM is produced by a collaboration of many different people, with the main development being done by Onecosmic himself. We strive to bring releases as often as possible and provide a stable AOSP ROM.
We are in the midst of many changes and will try to have our source code back up as soon as possible.
We do not support anything that is not produced by us!
Team ICSSGS is now Team Nyx!
We have made lots of changes, and part of that includes moving our base from XDA to our own website. All information, as well as downloads will be on our website, but please continue your discussions and we will continue our support here on the forums. Please check out our site at http://team-nyx.com/

loleverything works pretty much not a huge need for this here

The other thread needed replacing.

not that im complaining, but why did it need replacing? (in your eyes)

b-eock wasn't involved with the project, we wanted a bit more control over how the OP was updated, and we didn't want someone not even contributing to make the real people behind this (mostly Onecosmic) look bad.

So.... since your in charge of the kernels... any chance of a 1600Mhz over clock? Just wishful thinking..

The kernel wasn't changed, actually. And there is a chance, but we're focusing on the big issues now, we'll put more features in later.

is this build going to be pure ASOP first? the other thread was talking of changing the "crappy" battery icon and other stuff.
ASOP fist. right?

That's another thing, that other thread was complete bullcrap. We are focusing 100% on AOSP at the moment. I'm working on side flashes to try to improve the rom, but they are not a part of the rom or have anything to do with Onecosmic.

I don't know why you said it won't boot. I'm on a7 with captivate kernel you posted in google code. Can't get 3g working yet but it boots just fine

If I want to flash from apex 11 w/ dark kernel, what's the process I should go through?

Download the required files (ROM, Kernel, and SU fix), and make sure you have a GB Bootloader.
1. Backup your files, and do a Nandroid
2. Reboot to Recovery
3. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik. No need to wipe system because it's done already on the updater script.
4. Install .zip from SD card. First of all flash the ROM, then go for the Kernel.
5. Reboot, the first boot takes longer.
6. Setup your account.
7. Boot to recovery, and install the SU.zip to grant you with Root access.
8. Reboot, and enjoy.
Notice I do not ask you to wipe and flash several times, it honestly works at the first attempt.
Good Luck.

dumb question is this still a port for the captivate ? and will flashing this mean you need specific boot loaders to start I run i9000 boot loaders and sorry for posting question here but never got an answer in the q&a will ICS support HSDPA like JVT did?

Just wanted to thanks guys. This is awesome.

@OP
Is it the same thing to go to: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-sandwich-sgs/downloads/list, download the A7 ROM "ICS_4.0.1_r1-alpha7.zip", and flash the Captivate Kernel? Or are you uploading a different version, with more changes?
I am asking because I honestly feel like this A7 update is a tad slower than the A6 i downloaded previously. (The A6 zip i was linked to already merged both the Kernel, and the ROM into one same updater script.)

Yes, It is working for the Captivate. So far, all you have to do is download the I900 ROM, and then flash the Captivate kernel.

It is the same, I am just packaging it up to simplify it for the noobs. I just uploaded a .zip, then I realized that I had screwed up with it, so I'm re-uploading now.
EDIT: As for it being slower, Alpha 7 has some wicked partitioning changes that should speed it up. Of course we are always trying to make it better, but HW Accel. is built into Alpha 7.

[Kernel] UNSUPPORTED Reoriented Sense Kernel Alpha 2 *works on Alpha 4*

This is just a captivate kernel for the i9000 sense port.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Follow the instructions to flash GalaxySense.
2.Reboot into recovery, and flash the reorient kernel
4. Enjoy!
NOTE: If you can't follow these simple instructions, DO NOT FLASH. THIS IS TOTALLY UNSUPPORTED, AND IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.
PS: I'll probably start supporting it once it reaches a usable level, but for now, this is just a kernel for people who are desperate/want to try it out.

Doesn't matter, it's only to gain access to recovery. Once they release alpha 2, recovery is fixed and you'll be able to just flash straight from the rom, without odin.

The Unofficial CyanogenMod Series - added aokp-jellybean test build

Hi all I will be working this a little. But don't expect anything to great. I don't have a whole lot of time to work on this. I bricked my phone and not having much luck getting it replaced. So I won't be working on this to much until I can get a new phone as I will be spending all my time working.
Most stuff posted here is probably gonna be untested.
I will be posting cm7, cm9, and cm10 builds here.
Idk if any of these work.
Don't get mad at me if they brick your device. Infact treat them with a high chance of brickage, unless otherwise noted.

If you compiled from CM10 source here we have CM10 kernel for Captivate (no datadata partition).
This is very interesting.
Thank you very much: if compiling went well this is really an important step for JB on Cappy and now we can run also official Pawitp builds.

Aosp roms discussion thread. [Minor FAQ inside]

This thread is for discussing aosp roms, like Slim, Carbon, etc. except for CM though since it has its own thread. This is meant to keep the unhelping chit-chatter out of the development threads where bug reports best reside. When posting here, clarify what aosp rom you're on. Do not post bug reports here, post them in their respective development threads!
One more thing! While this thread progresses, use search and/or read the faq to see if your question has already been posted before, to avoid repetitiveness and us older lads becoming grumpy.
F.A.Q: (frequently asked questions)
I would like to dualboot, what should I do?
Flash siyah kernel
Help! I flashed siyah and now my rom doesn't boot!
It's because whatever rom you use has a newer mali driver which most kernels aren't updated for. Especially siyah which hasn't seen some dev love in ages.
What rom should I flash?
We don't know, you have to try them out yourself!
What's gapps, and is this inside xx rom?
Gapps is short for google apps, which is the Play store and some other apps you sorely need. Go too http://goo.im/gapps and download the gapps package for whatever version you have. Newer aosp roms are most certainly 4.2.2. Some roms, like Slim, have their own separate gapps packages specially made for those roms. In those cases, the standard gapps from goo.im will not work!
Help! I flashed xx rom but now it doesn't boot!
Try making a factory reset in the recovery and reflash whatever rom you were on. Also, in most cases, CWM works better for rom installations. Twrp craps out for unknown reasons.
Help! I wiped data and reflashed the rom but it still doesn't boot!
That sounds like a rom issue. Try flashing an earlier version of the rom.
Help! Something screwed up and now my phone doesn't boot anymore!
Well, reboot into recovery and see if a reflash helps. It is always recommended to regularly keep your system backed up in case something nasty happens. Perform a nandroid backup every once in a while.
What is a nandroid backup?
It's like a screenshot of your current state which you can return to if something bad happens. A nandroid backup backs up the system, boot (kernel) and data and, if specified/selectable, it also backs up cache and recovery. Maybe even efs (in twrp). However, it doesn't back up the modem!
I flashed xx kernel and I now get a black screen upon reboot!
That is because the rom you flashed has the new mali driver from the 4.2.1 leak and the kernel you flashed isn't updated with this driver. Stay on the provided kernel for now.
Thanks to:
I forgot to give thanks where due, and I'm so sorry for that. If I got an advice from you, hit me up and your name goes on this list.
C_tho; for mentioning the mali driver stuff.
Noble Sir Slaphead20; for suggesting I'd maintain an FAQ and suggesting I'd make an entry covering gapps.

Only Siyah, and Siyah only supports the older aosp roms.
Speaking of aosp, I just had an urge to flash Carbon. Think I'll do it, because I'm a bit bored of running touchwiz and I've run CM for so long I need change. I didn't like RootBox that much (too many settings, lol. I like a "leaner" setup) and there's no official aokp for our device. I also didn't like Slim, so I'll give Carbon another go.

In the Faqs it might be worth mentioning in the gapps bit that some Roms ie slim, have their own gapps, and others won't work
Just flashed Carbon 1.5, not regretting it thus far! This ROM gives the word buttery smooth a whole new meaning!

Not sure this goes here, but ill give it a go anyways.
In the Slimbean thread there was a lot of talk about mali drivers. Now could someone please give me some info on the matter cause seems like I missed something.
Basicly what im wondering is whats up with the mali drivers and why do I want them?
Sorry if this is off-topic or has been answered somewhere else.

looking to switch to a AOSP ROM, what do you think about Super Nexus? Seems like the definition of AOSP

Agreed, running it now with no problems.
Carbon is nice as well..

They fix the graphics glitches and completely without memory leaks.

I think you should give Carbon a try, it's THE definition of buttery smooth and come with some neat customization.

The only problem with SuperNexus is it is updated very slowly. Also Faryaab has exams to do now, so it will not get updated at least until he is done with them.
If you want a super light rom I would reccomend SlimBean it's fast, and light, battery is acceptable, and it's easy to change settings like screen density and navbar settings without having to edit build.prop and decompile framework-res.apk, which you will have to do on SuperNexus.
what about the smoothness of it?
Another one there to vouch for Carbon, running it on both phone and tablet

I love AOSP Roms and thank you for starting this thread. Unfortunately I am afraid that I can't use such Roms as a daily driver because of the camera problems. Bluetooth also seems to be a problem for some users.
Guys I am facing Memory leak problem with the Slim bean 4.2.2.....is it normal? cant seems to find any solution....
you'd be better off asking in the slim thread

[HELP] Porting G2's L to G1 [KERNEL]

Yo peeps,
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]For people who say I will wait for official update STAY OUT![/COLOR]
So i was trying to port the G2's Lollipop update to G1. Many of you may think itz quite useless, well i just decided to try because i am a big dev here to compile AOSP or CM12 roms without a proper device tree. So while we wait for Official Update or until CM/AOSP becomes stable i thought maybe i could try porting. So i managed to get the system and boot.img made a zip and now the problem seems with the kernel. I get a fall through to fastboot mode when i use their kernel and when i use ours it gets stuck on bootlogo. Both the kernels are of 3.4.42 and i am not good at kernels like the way i am at kang so if someone could help me with the kernel part maybe we can get L earlier.
This thread is for only people who can encourage and try helping! Others please excuse.
I unpacked both the boot.img made a zip of it and uploaded so that it would be easier for people to help. I dont mind testing it numerous times. Willing to listen and try anything and everything that can make it boot. So here are the kernels.
Hope to find help!

I think it is impossible without kernel source... This way you can play with Ramdisk only. Moto g2 has little bit different hw..
only difference is screen size and camera, the processor, graphics chip, ram, battery and sensors are the same. so it is possible to port g2 update to g1.

The ROM itself-yes
Kernel-no.
I know almost nothing about kernels and all related with it things and even do not know why I was mentioned by OP
But I have a question. Can we just flash firmware from G2? Can it brick our device completely in a worse way?
Why am I saying such a bool****? Read first line in that post again
Never the less I remember guys who flashed android 2.3 on samsung galaxy gio from galaxy ace and phone booted and even hadn't critical bugs...

I have flashed ZTE warp cm10 on ZTE v9a with kernel built by myself and it was also working... But with warp kernel there was no chance to boot v9 device up.
I think with flashing g2 lollipop over g1 shouldn't brake your phone permanently, unless you are not flashing modern etc. (just flashing system and kernel). But I cannot promise nothing will be broken
Try using a CWM flashable version of the G2 rom along with the CM12 kernel? You might be able to get some kind of result from it?

@S0bes i thought you may know something so kinda tagged u bro btw i tried flashing g2's stock firmware image it doesnt brick or anything but since they have a different kernel it still goes to fall through to fastboot mode even on g2's stock roms. the main difference is that 5.0 uses ART and ours DALVIK and hence i believe that what the issue.

I do not believe so. Neither Android 4.4.4 Moto G LTE nor, Moto G (2014) Kernels (or ROMs) boot on Moto G (2013.)
@yeshwanthvshenoy I know you stated you are a big dev, but since you are, you already know kernels can't be ported from an image. You need the source code. Unless you have a magical way of changing code without needing to decompile.
Still... if you are having fin making zips, go ahead, don't let my words discourage you. But... this is a dead end.
Agreed with @fermasia
if porting kernel without source was such an easy task by this time we had so many kernels
Only way is directly flash 2nd gen kernels to try our luck if some things work
All the best [emoji4]

I dont think there will be any luck since G 2014 has a different MSM board and that has to do with the result you will get. So if you manually flash XT1064 firmware on an XT1032 just expect a beautiful soft brick in the best of the cases... Just wait for official OTA, there are just days left for it!!! Next week we will se some news.
for this you need a new kernel for G1, which we dont have. (and even if we had it then we had the ROM too)
you will have to use the old kernel with the new ROM. which will obviously create tons of error.
have you tried CM12 kernel with the ROM?
For the kernel, try following and check if there is some progress.
Decompile both the kernels with dsixdia kitchen. You will get ramdisk and Zimage for each kernel. Try following combination.
4.4.4 Zimage (G1) + 5.0 Ramdisk (G2) + Modules (G1)
If no, try using init.rc of G1 and give another try.
I'm not planning on helping you do this, but the g2 and g1 use the same kernel. You only have to enable certain things in the defconfigs...

You don't really need it, decompile the boot.img and replace the zimage inside with a compiled one.
I don't recommend doing this. Porting in this case is pointless.
By the way, kernel source was released a while ago.
Good luck on the kernel. Though I highly suspect that Motorola will give us Lollipop on the Moto G before anyone is able to come up with a working port.

thanks for the info and help all of u are extending i know maybe this may not work out but itz just a try. and @Somcom3X can u please a little more of the above statements u said about changing defconfigs and few other stuff. Should i use G2's zimage and G1's ramdisk or any file that u think would make it boot? Can u specify the file name if so.
Get the basic source of the G1. Match the changes made to G2 for the L. Best to getthe old G1 kernel source and modify the things needed for the L. Test and Go.
Unless its creating changes in filesystem its good to play with.

G2 device board name differs. It will be just foolish and waste of time

a new rom? grass is always greener

Hi all,
Have been using the 1+5 since launch day, bought this beast at midnight on launch day and since then it's just amazed me....but I've been stuck picking a ROM due to the encryption decryption worry, I'm currently decrypted on xXx
What ROM are you using and why?
Not looking for the best, just for the points of why one over another.
Cheers.
Hi!

What do the other ROMs offer over OOS? If anything? Easier theming?

Different ROMs are build above different sources -- OOS, AOSP, LineageOS... -- and contain various modifications -- theming options, kernel tweaking, features ported from other devices, ability to streamline the system experience, stellar stability or release-early-release-often, etc. Every ROM is different, though at some point they offer more of less similar features -- eck, it's all Android at the core! Still, they represent what their devs feel is important for a joyful experience. Read the first post of a topic, you should have a general idea of what you get.

Thanks, maybe I didn't explain it enough, what I meant was what do you use and prefer and why?
What features sell you the ROM of your choice over others.
I think you can see by the amount of phones I've had that I've seen quite a few.
What are you using at the moment and why?
Benefit over OOS?
I've always been in love with Codename Phoenix, and I still am. I flashed everything there is out there, and every kernel. My conclusion: either OOS, or Phoenix. All the others either have some bugs or annoying problems. I choose Phoenix over OOS because it is just as smooth if not even smoother & faster while providing much more features than OOS. Also, 2 stable builds a month. That's much faster updates than OOS.

The guy deleted all of the G+ and xda threads, because he hated the drama. All he wanted to do at the end of the day is just share the builds he makes with his friends and his loyal users, so he only just has a telegram where he posts fully stable builds around two times per month.

The rom also has OOS cam working. The ROM itself is closed source, but it's stellar, so I am sure there's a reason behind him making it closed source. I bet he is some ex developer of some other mainstream rom who really knows his stuff.
The rom that give Codename Phoenix a head to head competition is AOSIP, I have used both and settled down on latter.

Aye i was looking at that one, again though it aims towards encrypted devices, I'm currently decrypted and have fallen foul of the memory becoming unreadable and thus losing data before, that noverity is that all you flash after the rom?
ROM / Gapps / Noverity
In that order right?

Ok cool, cheers pal.
Will look into it this week sometime. :good:
I went with AICP, firmware 5.1 at this point is needed with it. Modded Gcam working, modded oneplus cam also working. Alot of features, uses LOS and others for base. if your a flashaholic like myself they have nightlies close to every night even. If you want a custom kernel most of the LOS compatble ones (EX, Flash, Franco) work. Battery life is great, and I like the feature set. Eneough tweaking I dont need substratum to have the look I want. Using Magisk 14.4 beta for root. solid eneough to be a daily driver for sure. Bluetooth works perfect for me as well, no wifi issues.
Still using Pure Fusion 7.1.2, as it's aosp-based yet has oos camera fully working(with portrait and slow-mo).

So I am going to do this later...I am on XXX 10.5 right now, Oreo.
I am unencrypted...
To put Phoenix on my OP5 and not lose data...
In TWRP:
1. Wipe everything but internal storage...
2. Flash Phoenix
3. Flash GAPPS
4. Flash Magisk
Done?

Not a worry for me that, I've got a Lumie that gets brighter in the morning and tweets at me, wakes me up better than a normal alarm.
How's theming on pure fusion? Been having some issues with my preferred theme lately, in fact so many themes these days don't work.
Google just wants to be lighter and lighter, how they haven't got a dark side I'll never know.
Besides robbing everyone's data
Just like OP, i'm running xXx oos based rom since the beginning, and i'm pretty happy with it.
I'm interested in trying some custom roms, but i've read almost everywhere that custom roms can't get close to camera quality of OOS, is this still true ?
I don't mind flashing any magisk camera mod module if that could help :good:
