[ROM] Captivate-Deodexed-JH7 v 0.2-Stock

The fruits of my deodexing project are now available for everyone to taste. What this ROM has is JH7 fully deodexed and zipaligned, and then tweaked. I have decided to remove the focus off the optimization, as others have made far more advances, and my choices may not be agreeable to someone else. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, but I have tested this on my phone, and other than the issues noted below, I have not run across anything deal breaking. This is just a different way to optimize the files, so risk of any hardware damage is minimal. You'll only run into software that won't work.
How to install:
1. Download the zip file, and place it on the sd card.
2. Fire up ROM manager, and apply from SD card, also recommend doing a nandroid back up at the same time
3. ???
4. Profit
What yout get:
1. Stock JH7 deodexed, and zipaligned
2. AT&T and Samsung bloatware removed
2. Superuser and Busybox preinstalled
3. build.prop preedited to allow you to see all market apps
4. The kernel is untouched during the update, but the user data, and cache are wiped. You will need a Titanium Backup to restore.
Known Issues:
1. This is a stock style ROM, and you have to apply any optimizations or fixes manually, or using something like SRE. The JH7 files are all there (except the odex's of course), so the latest SRE should be compatible in theory, but I have always done all tweaks on the phone myself in the past so I am not 100% sure. I'll let some of you be the guinea pigs and report back.
2. Deodexing, and zipaligning is not some magic bullet for performance increase. I personally see no significant difference between the stock performance and this installation. But this is more flexible down the line to get us nearer to Vanilla Eclair due to having been deodexed.
How to Remove:
Use ROM manager, and restore previous backup.
The ROM can be downloaded Here:
Captivate-Deodexed-JH7_v_0.2-Stock
I hope for this to become a test bed of new ideas I can try out to make things better on our phone. So if you want to test it and guide me, I'd appreciate your input. If someone wants to take this and build upon it further, feel free to do so. I'll look into fixing the two apps force closing, with focus being on the camera, followed by the keyboard. Squashed.

Wow lets see what's to come off this + sre + new kernel + voodoo lag fix + froyo!
BRING ON THE THEMES!

WOw! How long did this take you???

Not all that long. The deodexing itself is very automated. Making the ROM took a couple of more days to work out the updating script. I still need to work on the best way to integrate superuser and busybox.

i'll give it a shot!

Dear sirs and/or madams,
What's "deodexed and zipaligned"?

I've wandered this as well
I would try it but I am too happy with how I've got it. The next time I flash it, it's gonna be to stock so I can get the 2.2 OTA. The work tho, I will say thank you for that.
Quick question..Why is sideloading disabled???

Flashing in just a sec, will update.

Sideloading is controlled by the settings.db file in dbdata. When you flash this ROM, that file gets wiped out and is rebuilt on first boot. I think the original is in the ramdisk packed with the kernel. So on first boot the old crippled file is recreated for you to hack into again.

Camera FC all the time, besides that ROM is pretty fast and zippy good job OP.

Will this rom do anything that might break something like SRE? If not, I'll flash it for sure. Got to do a round of it anyway to get the latest goodies

Here's what I've found so far:
-Camera force close
-Log tab in Superuser causes it to force close
-Superuser does work though, aside for the Log tab
-Wifi doesn't work for me
-Mobile Video bloatware isn't uninstalled, just need to be removed from script file and apps folder
Other than that, it's quite zippy and quick. Nice job! I'll take a look at the scripts and files a little later to see if I can fix some of the problems. Keyboard FC should also be an easy fix.

rajendra82, can I suggest that you release the rom as completely vanilla with the deodex and zipalign in place? In theory, everything should work as expected from a vanilla rom and not have things like the Camera app FC.
Users can then apply SRE and you would not have to reinvent the wheel regarding including Superuser, etc. apps.
From what you said about deodex and zipaligning in the other thread, a completely vanilla rom with these optimizations would already be beneficial.

Will installing this ROM negatively affect my phone in any way besides voiding the warranty?

It will be very easy for me to release the vanilla version, I had actually built that first. Samsung Keyboard still force closed on me when I had flashed that. I didn't know about the force close on camera at the time, but I am sure that it would have behaved the same way. The reason for force closure of these two apps is some bug in deodexing. The apps I removed are the same that SRE does, and I manually removed from my phone before deodexing. That is not the reason for force closes. But if everyone would rather have a stock deodexed ROM that they optimize themselves, I can release it a short time. I will also have to look at tweaking the deodexing process some to get rid of the force closes on the keyboard and camera apps.

+1 on a vanilla Rom..That would be great

vanilla would be great my friend...much appreciated

OP updated with stock deodexed ROM linked.
Now I need your help. I know the Camera app that is force closing is Camera.apk, but what app is the Samsung keyboard? On the same lines, when an app force closes, is there a log file generated somewhere to explain what happened.

Camera issue acknowledged. Looking to fix that. The superuser app version I used had that issue anyway on stock ROM before deodexing, later versions seem to have solved it. I have now decided to keep this a stock ROM project to weed out extraneous issues such as these. WiFi worked fine for me at home and work, so I am not sure what's going on at your end.

Other than the kernel, everything that SRE does will be wiped out, as the whole system, data, and cache partitions will revert back to stock. You can always re flash SRE though.

CM9.... What did I do???

I have a question for some of you. I had been doing some research on CM9 for NC. I found a download, ( Though not on this site) along with some additional help from this website.
I installed everything to my NC and low and behold, it all works!! It looks just like my Toshiba Thrive tablet, except it's showing that its running Android 4.0 version.
Now for the drawbacks.... it has NO sound, NO Market, etc... Is there any way to install those? Or has this been the problem all along??
Thanks!

What links you got the CM9 from?
I got CM9 running with sound and market is working just fine.

I knew better than to trust another site, but ... I went to androidfamily.net. It had a "how to" to install CM9 ...
Could you give me downloads you used?
Thanks alot!!!

Check out the Samiam nightly builds in the development forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444943
You basically need to flash three files that are available from there. Latest nightly main CM9 ROM, Google Apps (Gapps) and the telephony-permissions fix.
That will give you market, working sound and best CM9 for Nook at the moment.

I see the Gapps file, and the telephony-permissions fix file, but where is the CM9 main file you mentioned? Am I overlooking it?
I tried again, using the same CM9 file, and then installed the Gapps file you mentioned along with the telephony permissions fix. Still no market. Everything else worked fine!

So do I just download the link that has today's date by it?? That's what I did, and no market. I went back re-read everything, and then downloaded everything all over again, and again... No Market. Everything else is working fine.

Are you connected to wifi? When loading a new rom, sometimes the market doesn't show up until hooked up to wife.
If this doesn't solve your problem, then I would start from scratch. Can you boot into CM recovery? If so, go into mounts and storage and format data, system and cache. Back into main screen and factory reset and wipe cache partition. (so many debates on if this is all totally necessary, but I have had glitches with installs when I have not done every one of these steps in this order).
Install CM9 (I do recommend samiam's build. It works flawlessly on my nook.)
Choose reboot option in recovery. Connect to a wireless network.
Samiam has included Rom Manager in his build. I use this to boot into recovery. Install Sam's gapps, telephony fix and boot animation fix. Reboot.
Hope this helps. Post if you need more detailed instructions.

I don't think you are flashing the right ones or are missing one of the 3. There is a patch that fixes market, boot animation and SOD issues. In unofficial cm9 forum.

I am getting a little confused. When I clicked on the CM9 build....it shows parent directory and then all the nightlies. Which one do I use? I also tried to just wipe it and reinstall CM7... I did manage to get the market running the CM7. So, I think I must have just downloaded the wrong nightly??

You can click on the latest one (Jan. 28.) and download. I always check the end of samiam's thread to see if there are any hiccups on the latest builds. I am running Jan.26 build (haven't updated yet) and it is running beautifully for me.

I have tried everything! and still no market! I believe I'm doing everything correctly, because I downloaded CM7 again, and had the market.
Is there anyone out there with the same type problem that corrected it?
Thanks!

From Recovery you want to format cache and system (under mounts). Also format data unless you already have a good working set up and you want to preserve all your settings, apps etc.
Then you should be flashing 3 zips in this order
update-encore-2012xxxx.zip where xxxx is the latest
gapps-ics-4.0.3-sam-noinit.zip from the misc folder
telephony-permission-fix.zip from the misc folder
The gapps zip in particular has the google apps including the market. Note that if you are comparing with the CM7 MiRaGe ROM then that has the gapps in including the market already in whereas with CM9 you have to flash them in separately.
If you have formatted data then when you reboot it should take you straight into a setup where you set up wifi, then sign in to your google account. The market app then should work OK.

Went to CWM and did the above ..went to mounts and storage..format cache and system, and data. After I did this, I hit the power button, once to go back to the screen to install the zips. Now, when I hit that power button, the following message came up 4 times... E: can't mount/cache/recovery.log. Could this have something to do with it??
I tried your instructions again, and No Market. You said that it would take me to a screen to set up wi fi ..but it doesn't. My screen is black, with a clock, a picture of a camera, and box that says gallery.
I am just going to have to go back to CM7!

I think I finally thought it out. For whatever reason when I put the gapp file in my NC it shows installing..but I don't think it worked. CM7...No problems! Have installed twice today and both times had the Market.
CM9... runs great...but no market!

Strange. The only thing that I can think of at the moment is that you have a bad download of the gapps file.
If you haven't tried it before then I'd suggest downloading it again. You should then just be able to flash that one on its own.
---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
As a double check the zip should be 16,874,937 and you should be able to open it on PC and see the apps files in the system/app folder with vending.apk

I checked, and BTW I'm using gapps-ics-4.0.3 -sam noinit ......my download is 18,275 KB ? and when I clicked on it to check the apps files as you suggested this is what it showed... 3 folder icons with MACOSX, META-INF, system. And then directly underneath the folders were 3 other things with the same words as the top 3 ... NO vending.apk ?? I clicked on the one that had system, and all the apps are there. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Would you tell me which gapp file your using?
Thanks for helping me!!!

I go the Gapps I use from the link
http://sphsolutions.net/android/Encore/Nightlies/Misc/
However, it looks like I got a slightly earlier one (probably 1 day before). I retrieved the current one to compare them. The later one has the YouTube app in which explains the difference in size. All the Google apps are exactly the same as in the one I use and the Vending app is there as well under system/app
If you can't see that folder then there is something wrong with your zip download.
The other difference from the earlier one I had is that it looks like the later one had been put together on a Mac system as it has the extra __MACOSX folder and a few .DS_Store folders which are not really part of the required zip but should be harmless.
Just to check I just tried installing with the latest nightly 20120128 and the later gapps version and I got the market OK.
So two thoughts: either your download is still bad or maybe you have signature verification turned on in your clockwork and that is causing this gapps install to fail whereas the main ROM is passing and also the gapps when you do CM7. I have signature verification disabled (which I think is the default). Try toggling the signature verification menu item and get it set to disabled.

What and where is the signature verification? And..... how do I get there?

Talk About MIUI ICS Setup, Fixes, Bugs and Cross Problem Solving With All ICS ROMS

Wanna thank Evol4G for the idea of starting a thread to focus on future development of MIUI ICS and how it can carry over to other ICS ROMS.
This is an add-on thread to talk about Specifically MIUI ICS and the different parts of the ROM that need specific attention.
This is NOT the place to ask about HWA, WIMAX, lagginess or anything that is probably attributed to user error or lack of reading/searching skills.
GUIDE TO RUNNING A BUG FREE MIUIv4
This guide goes over all the steps you'll need to get as close as we can for a bug free MIUI, A lot of bugs people get can be avoided if the steps are done propperly that is why this thread is so important..
THE GOAL HERE IS TO GET EVERYONES EVO RUNNING SMOOTH!
IF YOU FEEL THAT YOUR METHOD IS BETTER PLEASE POST IT! The whole point here is trial and error to see how we can get these ROMS to run as smooth as possible and to expose the less than obvious bugs to help the devs pin point the issues..
I have followed all of the ICS Threads on XDA pretty carefully and I have made a career out of determining the very best way to go about setting up a new ROM on a phone.
I know that ALL of the Devs working on ICS Roms are fantastic in what they do and should be commended for what they have accomplished, but in MY opinion, Swiper/Fergie's MIUI v2.4.6 is the closest to a complete ROM out of any of them, but it's not as easy as a quick wipe and a flash to get it up and running.
This is how I flashed this ROM, from step 1 to finish and probably why i have a fast, responsive, almost bug free ICS ROM that is easily my daily. I'll never go back to Gingerbread.
A lot of this is the same as what I have in my All Things Evo Guide
The first thing I do is prep the ROM itself. I remove all the ringtones, alarms and notifications from the Zip file. I keep those on my SD Card already, so I don't need them in there. I also have Astro File Manager on my Phone and I use that to back up all my apps, occasionally. I take the apps that I know I'll need right away from the backup folder for Astro and add them to the zip.
Specifically, Titanium backup, Maps, GPS Status, Connectbot, and now, the new VVM for ICS, which DOES work!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1547780
Step 1. This is a MIUI ROM, which means GPS could be an issue, so the first thing I do is make a nandroid of my current Setup, then I restore my stock/rooted ROM.
Step 2. I update Profle and PRL, then I do the Sense GPS Fix.
You must be in a Sense ROM for this
Open Maps; get a lock on your position.
Open GPS Status & Tool Box, get a lock on your Sats and then hit Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS State>Reset.
Open Dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#
In the popup that asks for your password, enter your MSL, (You'll need MSL Reader from the market) then reboot.
When the phone is rebooted, Open Maps, get a lock; Open GPS Status, hit Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS State>Download. Once you are locked onto your Sats, power down, then Reboot to Recovery.
Of course, I only use Amon Ra and in Recovery, I wipe everything, completely; Factory Reset., then each option underneat that, except SD Card:
Then I run Factory Reset again, then Cache and Dalvik Cache and Data again, jsut to make sure it's all clear.
Go to Flash, and Flash the Rom. Once it's done, go right back to flash and flash DT A2SD, the nI boot to System and once booted, I let it sit for a good 10 minutes, so everythign get's booted up and settled in.
At this point, I open LBE manager (Superuser) and set all my permissions to on and accept all.
I open Maps, get a lock, open GPS Status, and I already know I'll get a lock on my sats. Then I hit menu and update GPS Data.
Next is Connectbot, and I move my Dalvik Cache to my SD Card. Here's the commands
su
a2sd check
a2sd cachesd
The phone will reboot and again, I just let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Once I wake it up, I set my preferences, display, sounds, accounts, etc. MIUI ICS hasd a TON of new settings and one is the Status Bar Options. Hit Customize Statas Bar Notification and make sure Hide Notification is turned off. This will allow notifications to show up.
Once I'm done, I reboot to recovery, wipe Cache and Dalvik and Flash my Kernel.
The BEST kernel to use right now is Mason v0.14 SBC No FSO. I also Flash Vipermod.
That's it. If you use a different kernel and you have problems, this is the first place to look.
Upon reboot, I let the phone settle, then I open Titanium backup and restore my apps/Data. Now, I have had a lot of problems in the past with TB Freezing up when U try to restore all 117 apps I have in one session, so I do it in 3 now. I alphabetize the apps and then go A-H, I-P, Q-Z
Once finished, I open Rom Toolbox and go to Autostart Manager and make sure all the apps I DON'T need to be runnign at boot are toggled off. Then I set Car O Dope Tweaks. I'm one of the believers that Car O Dope is for AOSP, V6 is for Sense. I have yet to give Smurfs tweaks a run, but I plan to, soon.
I reboot and run Vipermod -50 in Connectbot, and then setup my desktop folders, etc. Then I g othrough any apps I need to set preferences for, Make sure VVM is working and that is basically it. Took some extra time, but I shake my head at the problems people are having that are almost alwasy attributed to shortcutting the process.
Almost all of the links and files anyone needs are on the guide in my signature
Bugs & Fixes.
• USB Connect - The two ways to fix this are with the app, USB Mass Storage in the market or the FTP Function is File Explorer.
• Camera only takes 3MP pics - D/L Camera ICS from the market and you'll get up to 8MP
• Theme Manager - There are very few themes for MIUI ICS. I understand that a new Theme Manager should be coming soon, according to the rumors.
• Music Player/Theme Sounds not seeing music folder - D/L Rescan Media form the market. Problem solved.
• Slow 3G/Data Speeds and Market Downloads. For me, after about a day, this fixed itself
Known Issues
No WIMAX
No HWA, yet
No Front Facing Camera
No Video Recorder

I know these are a lot of steps but if you can follow them I promise your phone will see massive improvement.. it's worth it, trust me
First of all, You'll see that my steps are close to hipkats that's because i learned a bit of this from him but I do a few things different, one of the main things is that I don't use the SENSE GPS fix, gpsfix from the play store works great for me and saves me the headache of the sense fix..
Secondly, I'm running swiperrat's MIUI 2.4.6, if you haven't tried it yet I suggest you do, it's the most stable yet IMO..
(*) asterick means that this step is highly recommended but not necessary
1) View thread to download Swiperrat's MIUI v4 HERE
* Download Dark Tremor's Apps2SD HERE
* Download viperMOD HERE
* Add 3rd party apks to the zip before flashing, this step isn't necessary but it does save you some time..(I added Titanium Backup,Terminal Emulator, GPSFIX, Srpint VVM for ICS)
2) Reboot into recovery (Amon Ra IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!GET IT HERE!!!!!)
3) Wipe user data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, data, and boot (I do factory reset, cache, and dalvik 3x)
4) Flash ROM (DO NOT FLASH CUSTOM KERNEL YET!!!)
* Flash DTA2SD
5) Boot up phone and let it set for about 10 minutes
* I recommend waiting until the sd has fully completed its read before unlocking the phone
6) Run GPSFIX
* If you have DTA2SD I strongly recommend moving cache to sd as well, I garuntee you will absolutely love how much free space you'll have on your internal storage
TO MOVE CACHE TO SD open up terminal emulator and type in all lowercase
"su"
"a2sd check"
"a2sd cachesd"
7) Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash custom kernel, I use MASON Kernel the one in my signature, and let sit for another ten (hipkats recommendation)
* Set up tweaks, I use Car-o-Dope which you can find HERE
8) Restore backup via TB or MIUI BACKUP
9) Use any kind of startup manager you have and disable all the apps you don't need to start up at boot.. (this helps reduce the time the phone takes to boot and stops stupid apps from running in the background behind your back) THANKS HIPKAT, idk why i was forgetting to do this, I used to all the time but the past 5 or 6 flashes I forgot lol
10) FIX PERMISSIONS (I hate ROM manager and don't even have it installed on my phone so this is how i do it)
- Open Terminal Emulator type in all lowercase "a2sd check" then "a2sd fixapk"
11) Reboot into recovery (only if you want vipermod, if not then just reboot)
* Flash Vipermod and reboot, then open terminal emulator again and type "vipermod" then set it to your liking (i set at -50mv)
12) Download MX player from the play store once installed go to settings and make sure s/w is checked and h/w is unchecked (THIS FIXES THE CHOPPY VIDEO!)
13) THE MOST IMPORTANT. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS YOU'VE WASTED SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT!.. enjoy

ya, hyperlink is in my post ;] tbh i'm reconsidering upgrading... I know the version i have works and have yet to have a problem with it so i don't really see the point in updating... anyways this thread needs some love... I would say move it to MIUIandroid but tbh this thread isn't supposed to be solely about MIUI in the long run it's supposed to help ALL ics roms but i don't think people understand that yet...

Native Messaging works for sending/receiving MMS in MIUI ICS by Swiper/Fergie so al lwe're waiting for is FFC, Video Recorder, HWA.. a few other things.
Since MIUI is based on CM, shouldn't this be able to be reversed to bring CM9 to the Evo?

First. Haha
Downloading
---------////edit///
This is a nice tweaked version of Aurora
For me it's the kernel and viper4Android that makes it worth trying.
Oh and I installed using TWRP recovery and it installed fine.
I replaced SU with chainfires superSU and replaced apex with action launcher - but that's just personal preferences

LoL :laugh:

so first look - looks smooth, wifi works fine, no random wifi reboots for me yet so this is good boot time is also very good. and so far it's using almost nothing battery pretty good rom
i will be reporting back tomorow or in 2 days, so i'll se how it works in life

So what's so special from this rom than the original?
Can you explain more about V4 sound effect? I mean how to install it, it's just normal apk or it changes some binaries to take effect in sound quality (like dsp).
Can you give me the app separately?
I want to try it only instead of installing the whole Rom, no offense. Cause you didn't write the pros of this rom than the original Aurora. I think I'm gonna keep with Aurora.
But thanks anyway

2 failure of this ROM:
1/ delete Superuser.apk? for real?
2/ Based on u20 - constantly reset when turn on wifi... why not update 21?

I'm using this rom for about 7h and I like it a lot.
1. Superuser.apk is present, shouldn't be on the list.
2. I've turned wifi on and off several times and I didn't get one single reboot.
This rom is an aurora lightweight edition with a superb battery consumption. After 7 hours I still have 89% and I've been playing a bit and restoring all the apps.
Thanks for the effort and keep up the good work mate.

What makes you think that these apps are unnecessary?
Quite a few of them are used by me personally.
This rom IMO need not be published.

I applaud the effort, but this ROM really should be in the general section.

Just in 1h of using i saw this issues:
- Problem with the SD Card, with Connect and Discard the SD Card
- The phone some times freezes (i was sending SMS) and i need to take out the battery so i can use the phone again

Do you install this ROM properly?
That problems never happen on my phone

Guy, this ROM should be light version or general version?
If you guys want making general version, i can do it
So, please reply me....so i can think about it

the best thing of this rom is the great MIUI Boot animation.
Good effort though :good:

From that list the unique app that I use is youtube, so... Yes, this is an useful rom for me. If you don't agree you don't have to use it.
Still using from my last post and no reboots so far, the battery just dropped another others ridiculous 5%. Loving it.

Hey guy! I updated Aurora apps restore package! You can install it if you want
The Link : http://www.mediafire.com/download/s07or5cv9gy71kc/aurora_app_restore_packages.zip

Its possible to export a new version with the Default Launcher?
Personally I don't like other Launchers.

To add dialer on lock screen in google version go to Lock screen and security - App shortcuts - Left side - Choose Phone
To have icons from Samsung themes on google launcher version go to home settings choose default icons

the dialer is broken in the google version you can make calls but there s no call ui so you can't hang up and can't even answer phone calls because of the same issue, installing google dialer framework doesn't help. every thing is working fine on the samsung version tho other than that contexts fix.

You need to read the info about Google version in my post you just quoted.
Important - Must go to setting - Apps - Default Apps - Calling app And choose Google phone.
I tested it many times and it works fine if you do that step.
