Updated 03/14/2012 FrankenTAB v1.1.0
FrankenTAB aims to pick up where the gtab-devs left off with the Froyo based VEGAn-TAB 1.00 b5.1.1 (our v001a is a direct port of b5.1.1 to BL 1.2 with a clemsyn kernel). The current build is a heavily modified Brilliant Corners 1.3.1 base (advanced version of VEGAn-TAB 1.00 b5.1.1), with an overclockable (1.6ghz) & undervoltable kernel from the Clemsyn universal Froyo Skype Fix.
1) This MOD is based on Roebeets' Brilliant Corners ROM for the GTablet. See the description for Brilliant Corners for more info.
2) I am using the latest kernel and WIFI drivers (Skype/SOD/PPP fixes) from Clemsyn, all thanks for the speed of this ROM should go to him.... not me. This ROM is overclockable (to 1.6Ghz) and undervoltable via SetCPU (Get it from XDA if you are a member, or from the market if you want to support the developer)
3) Jcp171, Cobey, and Sharpe351 have been a huge help to me with FrankenTAB. Much thanks goes out to them for their continued help and support.
4) I got the blessing from GoJimi to include the newest version of VTL Launcher in our rom (v1.7.5 - This is NOT on the market yet). I would suggest that you drop in over at http://vegantab.gojimi.com/ to see what's going on with the OFFICIAL VEGAn-TAB ROM, which is based on GINGERBREAD, and show your support for further development of VTL Launcher by purchasing the release version from the Android Market or via a donation on the VT-Labs / VEGAn-TAB website.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Before attempting to install this ROM, please understand how to use NVFlash (Roebeets thread) to restore your system should something go wrong.
You will ABSOLUTELY need to do a data wipe / factory reset with CWM BEFORE install. I also recommend formatting your sdcard and wiping the dalvik cache before install. my current procedure is:
1) NVFlash to version a 1.2 bootloader base image including CWM
2) Perform my wipes in CWM (data / cache / Dalvik / Format SD)
3) Mount the Tablet via USB from inside CWM / Copy all the needed files to the tablet
4) Install the Rom in CWM
5) Reboot
In more extreme cases a tougher wipe may be necessary:
0) MAKE BACKUPS OF WHAT YOU WANT TO KEEP
1) boot into CWM and format your sd card to 4096/0 then back to 2048/0 (this has cleared some of the problems for some people)
2) format dalvik cache
2a) -skip this step the first time you try, but it may end up being necessary- NVFlash back to a stock 1.2 setup that includes NVFlash (if you are on windows, I posted my NVFlash folder link (HERE) that has a few batch files for stock or CWM recovery)
3) wipe data / factory reset (in CWM)
4) -my method- format /system & /data (by doing this, it basically makes blank, formatted partitions)
4a) wipe dalvik cache again! especially if you let your system fully boot after the NVFlash - CLEAR THAT CRAP OUTTA THERE!!!
5) mount usb and copy over the zip file to the root of your internal sd card (which should be empty after part 1 - if not repeat step 1)
6) install zip from sd card
7) Reboot.
MAJOR RELEASE NOTE: The version 1.1.0 release is a full installation package with a completely new base. As such, please make a backup of your data just in case a full wipe becomes necessary during your upgrade process. I highly recommend a fresh start, but since we are upgrading the kernel, a wipe of the dalvik cache is mandatory at the very least.
APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY: KNOWN ISSUES as of release v1.1.0
(Thanks to Jcp171, Cobey, and EVERYONE for helping work through the app testing):
General Apps:
1. Market: Working properly with the standard market fix... slightly limited before the fix.
2. Skype: working. I have been using it for a while now and it seems to work like a champ.
E-mail:
1. Default E-mail: Works great, but being a non-Gingerbread ROM, Secure Corporate E-Mail setups may not work (Mine does not because of lack of appropriate security suppprt)
File Managers:
1. ES File Manager: Ran fine, was able to give file manager root. UPDATE: You can just long-press the STAR icon to get to the root directory. (THANKS bdds13!)
2. iFileManager: Works fine, but is just a basic file manager. For root access use ES file explorer or root explorer.
Utilities:
1. Anreboot: Fine for reboots, but DO NOT USE THIS TO REBOOT INTO RECOVERY. It will likely only ever reboot into recovery forcing you to NVFlash the device to get it working again.
Games:
1. Plants Vs Zombies: (Doesn't work)Loaded and got all the way into the first level but quickly crashed. Will crash at some point either loading or trying to play. At the most it's extremely unstable...
2. Gem Spinner II: Not functional
3. Game compatibility with several games improved (Cut the rope now works) by removing the undervolt and returning voltages to default levels (still at 1.6ghz). May vary tab to tab... (Note: Even lowering the speed to 1ghz did not change Plants vs Zombies or Gem Spinners non-functional statuses...)
Any other apps we tested worked. Please let us know if you find an app with a problem and we can make sure to confirm the issue to help Pix out.

"I have included 1.6 ghz, Skype fix, PPP. With PPP, I had to upgrade the wifi drivers to get it to build so not sure SOD fix will hold but please test for me thanks." - Clemsyn
Clemsyn has asked us to test his latest kernel build for froyo with SOD protection, Skype fix, and PPP support. Grab the download and let the testing begin. If it goes well I will incorporate it into the v1.1.0 release of FrankenTAB. UPDATE 02/08/2012 - This will be the new default kernel in the v1.1.0 release - all tests confirm this to be an excellent release from clemsyn.
Grab FrankenTABv001a from HERE
- v001a is based on VeganTAB 5.1.1 just ported to the 1.2 BL with clemsyns kernel and a market update. (Still seems to be fairly popular - I will continue to support v001a as best I can for those looking for the classic VEGAN experience on the 1.2 boot loader.)
SCREENSHOTS:
Work is coming along good on v1.0.2. I hope to have a release ready this weekend. This release will be very minor tweaks to some icons and graphics that were not receiving a lot of love from the community, along with some tweaks to the build prop.
In the next phase of testing I will be looking at kernel options including support for ppp in the default kernel, along with the possibility of an optional kernel or kernels. (will be v1.1.0)
Anyone that wants to test v1.0.2 I have uploaded a testers update HERE please be detailed in reporting any problems or new successes that are found.
Cool does camera or google talk work with camera?
Is this the full ? : FrankenTABv100.zip or is it this one FrankenTABv100RC1-full-install.zip
Thanks cant wait to try it
P.s Oh NVM i see its 2.2 none of the new Google apps will work thanks
Version 100 is the latest full file. version 100rc1 is the older release candidate.
no PPP support
Same like other ROM with clemsyn kernel
I try to use pppd (pppd /dev/rfcomm0 call xxx) but got message below
pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
Any chance to compile kernel with PPP support ??
I can ask clem to compile me a custom kernel, but it may take a lil while. I had planned to ask for something custom from him anyway so I will toss that in too. I will post an update in the second post when I hear from him, so keep an eye out.
I have been running this since 1.0.0 and love it. This is the ROM I have settled on. After trying Gingerbread and HC, I came back to Froyo for estability and speed. Love the icons on the status bar (Home, back, menu). All acceleration works including HD video. Like I said, very smooth and stable. All the games also work with it.
Netflix, Flash, Skype work.
Just loaded up over flashback, no problems here. Running so great!!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Excellent ROM
Love it!
I love it!
Are you considering changing the icons to ICS themed icons?
I may look into it for a future release, but right now I have to post the update (v1.0.2 is live) and try to confirm that, with the new kernel that clemsyn compiled for us, SOD issues are solved and SKYPE IS WORKING PROPERLY!!
watch the OP in the next few mins for the updates and details!!

why the hell i can't boot any rom , after installing flashback 10.3 ?!
You should NVFlash back to stock, and then try to install. Thats the best help I can give with the information you have provided.
Good luck. If that doesnt do the trick, let us know and we can try to work through it.

So far the ROM is great. I came from brilliant corners. My only issue is sometimes with flash, it's all blocky and distorted like a messed up NES cartridge.sound is fine.i fix it by full screening the flash video or changing the resolution, then back. Also, is there a DSP manager, or sound booster working in this ROM (for speakers, not headphones?) Thanks
Wifi can sleep when screen turns off?
Using 1.02 update, I notice also wifi never goes to sleep eventhough
I have setup wifi sleep when screen turn of in wifi sleep policy
Anybody experience the same?

Credits go to genokolar for actually porting the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8800Pro. This builds upon his port.
You may find his port announcement here, and you can download it from here. Thanks to user Skyline111 for the mirror.
Thanks also go to birdyi, who ported the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8860. His port contained some brilliant things such as CarrierIQ framework removal.
--
This is a 2.3.6 ROM for the U8800Pro based on the U8860 B866 ROM. 2.3.6, naturally, brings a slightly newer version of Gingerbread compared to our 2.3.5 with B540. While I know it's all about CM9 (ICS), MIUI and so on these days, I'm a fan of stock (in the Huawei sense of the term) Gingerbread.
Features (or limitations depending on what you think of some of the following entries) of this ROM:
Rooted (adb also runs as root, too)
(Huawei) DLNA
(Huawei) A task manager that shows open applications with pictures (launching it when pressing Home has disabled in this modification because I found the Recent menu saves more time)
(Huawei) Security Guard, a way of hiding text messages, I think
(Huawei) Traffic Manager – a data counter
(Huawei) Wi-Fi WPS support
(Genokolar) FPS unlocked by default (configurable in enhanced.conf)
(Genokolar) ZRAM (Compcache) enabled
(Genokolar) Changed the autorun.iso path to the image partition so that formatting /data from CWM does not leave you with an empty CD-ROM drive when you plug the phone into a computer
bugreports service turned off entirely so that pressing the volume up button quickly after you've pressed volume down does not leave you with a few seconds' delay and a bugreports folder on your memory card
BusyBox from CM7
Android’s toolbox (poor coreutils replacement; more barebones than BusyBox) has its full set of links installed in /system/bin, so you use Android’s native chmod etc. tools. Why? To match the stock B512 firmware and to ensure developers testing on the U8800Pro correctly hardcode “busybox” in their root programs if needed
Optional lazy CPUfreq governor
Default language and region changed from Chinese – China to English – United Kingdom
Added in boombuler’s AppWidgetPicker
CM7’s Pacman added in to remind you to install Google Apps after adding an account with the Setup Wizard (make sure GApps is installed!)
VoiceDialler.apk added in from B512 firmware (although, to be honest, the microphone quality on my phone is awful…)
Bash shell, fix_permissions script, iwmulticall, MMS.apk, tcpdump and gdbserver and additional ringtones etc. from CyanogenMod (20120107-cm-7.1.0-u8800pro-Geno-en.zip) added in
Phone model changed to Desire HD, so Gameloft games can be bought. This may cause licensing problems with bought Market applications so be careful. (Although, I must admit that giving money to a company that doesn't support our phone seems counter-intuitive.)
Shutdown vibration reduced from 500ms to 100ms because I hate it (especially at night) but understand its usefulness in determining the answer to the question “Has the phone gone off yet?”
Huawei’s god-awful Low Battery notification replaced with a nicer one from CyanogenMod
Widgets actually restore themselves after a reboot! This was fixed by me replacing 2.3.6's PackageManager service with Huawei's 2.3.5 one.
MyCalendar widget from birdyi's port and MyEmail from B512 added in
Fixed proximity sensor dying if the light sensor was on, too.
Stripped down enhanced.conf - only swappiness, VSync and ZRAM settings available. I don't like /system/log.txt being created every time my phone boots and I think using a tool in Android like, say, No-frills CPU Control is the better place to set the frequency. SetXperia has support for setting the phone's CPU voltage.
More languages selectable from the Setup Wizard than just English (US) and Chinese.
Flash Player removed for copyright reasons. You can install it from the Market
Notepad and Richpad removed
Droid Sans Fallback supports more character ranges
Toolbox correctly has "Wi-Fi" instead of "WLAN"
Misc. kernel modules, like in B512, included
But I like the BusyBox tools and want to use them without having to prefix BusyBox everytime!
Just run the bash shell; BusyBox versions of cat, chmod, chown, df, insmod, ln, lsmod, mkdir, mount, mv, rm, rmdir, rmmod, umount, sleep, kill, and ifconfig will become the default while you’re using the bash shell (also nicer, BTW: you get tab-completion, for one) thanks to the CyanogenMod team.
Attempts to remove Carrier IQ. Huawei *do* include Carrier IQ in their firmware.
I’ve done the following to attempt to remove it the best I can:
Edited boot.img to not start Carrier IQ services
Removed Carrier IQ libraries from /system/lib and CiQ binaries from /system/bin
Added lines to build.prop to disable CarrierIQ, taken from the framework.jar file itself.
birdyi has also modified framework.jar to stop the CarrierIQ objects from being instantiated.
Ideally the best way to be Huawei-free is to use CyanogenMod.
I've removed the Cloud+ apps because of this. I've left some Huawei apps in, but I strongly recommend you install PDroid (the patcher works fine with this ROM) and block the more concerning permissions of Huawei system apps.
Kernel changes
Since the kernel genokolar provided with his port had a problem when a program used the light and proximity sensor at the same time – the proximity sensor would die out until the next restart – I took it upon myself to rebuild the kernel available from his github repository with the config from his latest kernel. After comparing his kernel to the source Huawei put out, I could see no code changes that would cause the proximity sensor to die out. Since I was rebuilding the kernel, I thought I’d make a few changes:
Add in the Lazy CPU governor by Ezekeel
Update a patch by stockwell to disable keypad lights (echo 1 > /sys/module/leds_msm_pmic/parameters/disable_button_leds) - use ButtonLock to control
Reverse genokolar’s decision to always allow NV logging – this can be turned on and off from the service menu on a stock ROM anyway…
Set minimum backlight level to 15, from Franco’s kernel. Warning: I haven’t tried setting it to 15 so I don’t know if that value renders the display practically useless, and I don’t know if Android lets you set it to 15 from its settings!
ButtonLock
Not as revolutionary as I'd like it to be, but useful nevertheless. I've written a quick widget, which looks like the Power Saving one, that turns off the button backlight. Useful for when you're reading books through FBReader.
You need to be using my kernel as it has the disable_button_leds patch. The advantage the disable_button_leds patch has over the chmod 444 method is that it doesn't introduce noticable lag. The widget's source is in the same folder.
When pressing the widget's button for the first time, there is a delay as the Superuser allow/deny dialog box takes its time to come up. After accepting, future launches are instantaneous.
If you need something that this ROM doesn’t provide compared to other stock ROMs, I recommend:
Not using it; or
Using a combination of diff, abootimg, Winmerge (or Beyond Compare) and apktool to compare this with genokolar’s original release, and with birdyi's ROM, and add what you want back in
Installation
Note: You must be running firmware version B522 on your device! If you have B540, you need to downgrade. If you have a firmware version lower than B522 (Froyo?), you must upgrade to B522 first. If you're already running a custom ROM, ignore this.
Take out the SIM card if you want the setup wizard to use Wi-Fi during setup.
Install genokolar’s recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343276
Place u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip on the internal memory card or an external one (I recommend the internal one to ensure you don’t run into U8800Pro CWM bugs with the external).
Get gapps for Gingerbread and place on your memory card. Find the link using every Android user’s favourite search engine.
I highly recommend using PDroid, but it’s up to you whether you want to use it. If you would like to use it, get the patcher from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056 and point it to u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip. Place the PDroid-v1.27-u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip file onto your memory card.
Boot into recovery (make sure that fast boot is turned off in Settings->Applications and hold power and volume up while turning the phone on)
Do a data/factory reset.
Install the ZIPs, starting with u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip (obviously).
Reboot!
Install the Google apps (those ones not included in CM's gapps ZIP like YouTube) if desired when prompted – but note that the Market will probably close as you’re doing this as it will automatically update itself.

Are your APNs set correctly? In my case 2G works and I've had HSDPA working because when testing the Weather Clock widget (from B522, when I had it in) it would connect using it - I could see the icon in the status bar - and I had the pleasure of having my balance run down each time - I'm not a rich man
Edit: In build.prop, you can try playing with ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=3 - genokolar had it set to 2, but I changed it back to 3 from the U8800Pro original ROM because I wouldn't be able to connect to my network otherwise.
Hopefully, it's not the case but it could be hardware differences. genokolar, who's work this is based on, being from China, probably has a Unicom U8800Pro, just like I do...
@Zaic
B512? This is for the U8800Pro. I'd advise you not to flash it. I'd recommend using birdyi's ROM. If you're after a certain improvement from this ROM, tell me and I'll try and isolate it for you (as long as it doesn't involve kernel stuff - I don't know how to build U8800 kernels) so that you can use with birdyi's ROM
I have u8800 pro - 100%
My ROM is original unrooted 2.3.5 B512 its one before the latest release which is B540
My ROM still has access to pink screen, otherwise its the same as B540 I guess
SO what should I do first to install this ROM? roll back to 2.2.2 or was it 2.2.3?
Ah, if you're running 2.3.5 already and in the pink screen mode you see a folder called image when connecting your phone to the computer you're ready to go
Hi!
My compliments for the porting of Android 2.3.6 to U8800Pro!
I am using your rom since yesterday and still now I am not having any kind of problems.
Anyway I notice the same bug of the B512 and B540 roms: put your smartphone on screenoff, then wait about 1 minute and fastly unlock the screen and try to pinch to zoom on the home. Sometimes the multitouch doesn't work on every position of your fingers, it only works correctly if your fingers are in the position of principal axes.
Please try to reproduce this bug.
I am using LauncherPro but this bug is indipendent by the launcher (for example I tried also Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher EX, etc etc).
I hope you can solve this bug, maybe kernel-related.
Regards,
kalo86

Sorry for asking, but how do you pinch to zoom on the home screen? I'm using Go Launcher Ex and I know that that has the swipe up gesture but I can activate that with one finger, anyway.
In any case, have you applied the Synaptics touchscreen update? For me it has increased the touchscreen performance greatly. I had one problem that when after unlocking, the touchscreen wouldn't respond unless I turned the screen off and tried again. The update solved that.
If you want to try it, open the service menu (*#*#2846579#*#*), go to ProjectMenu->Upgrade->Touch screen version query and see if it says "synaptics". If so, put the original Huawei recovery.img back on and put the synaptics.img file in a folder called update on your SD card. Use the recovery's "touchscreen firmware update" update option and it will automatically reboot when it's done.
Best regards,

Oh, really thank you for this "news" about the synaptics touchscreen update!
I have a synaptics too, then I am going to update the firmware.
Another bug, still present in B512, B540, Cyanogen and U8860 port: unplug your battery from the smartphone, insert it again, power on, then open your file manager and try to read the sdcard content. At 99% my sdcard is not read, then I have to reboot my U8800Pro and magically the sdcard is read.
Thanks to You and Genokolar for our development!

UPDATE: I updated the synaptics touchpanel but I have always the bug of multitouch. It is reproducible when you unlock the screen after a pause of 1 minute (about), then you open the stock browser and try to zoom with the multitouch. It works only if your fingers are on the principal axes and not in other positions. I have this bug on 4 different U8800 Pro! It cannot be a singular problem.
So, I have tried a lot of roms, based on B512, B540, U8860, CyanogenMod 7.1, I am sure I will try this bug on the next release because it's mabe a kernel bug due to the multitouch field.
Video demonstration
This is a video which I just uploaded on YouTube with the real multitouch bug.
This bug is in 4 different U8800 Pro.

I really can't reproduce this. I pulled out the battery while it was on, put it back in and started File manager (the one included with Huawei ROMs) and the internal SD card along with my external one were seen fine.

Thanks for the video! Unfortunately I don't know how this can be fixed - I'm not a developer! It was only yesterday I tried looking in the driver to see how I can enable more than two finger recognition but I'm not seeing it...

Sorry for disturbing you, but I have a question: do you have the same bug of the multitouch after the lock-screen?
This is a second video about the same problem:

Haven't had time to install this ROM yet.... but ill report as soon as I know
CodeName Android is now officially supported on the Vibrant so this thread's life is at an end.
Go here:http://codenameandroid.com/cna-1-5-0-add-multiple-devices-and-nightly-builds/ to get the latest nightly build.
or in XDA here for sixstringsg's build:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531135
HERE WE GO with CodeNameAndroid 1.4.0 Nightlies for my (or your) Vibrant. This is pure CNA. It is from a I9000 (nightly) build made by Bubble-be from the 02-26-2012 source.
Bubble-be’s thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512938
It is a straight build from source, nothing added, nothing changed. I have only ported it to the Vibrant. GAPPS is not included so you will need to flash GAPPS after flashing the rom. I have removed the asserts in the update script so be sure you have a T-Mobile SGH-T959 Vibrant before flashing.
Please visit and donate at the CodeName Android Development Site @ http://www.codenameandroid.com
This is a port that I personally made for myself. I liked it so much I decide to share with all here.
If you are an experienced user try it out. As I made this for me, what you see is what you get.
Do not expect support, although I will try to help if you have problems. Please visit the pages linked above to get info and change logs etc.

Rom: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/CNA_4.0.3_v1.4_2-24-2012_Vibrant.zip Kernel is Nelsons v12 b8 for ICS Passion
GAPPS 02/15/2012: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/gapps-ics-20120215-signed.zip
DaxINFINITY ported the CodeNameAndroid rom from the Nexus S to the I9000. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485734. 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 are ports of ports. GAPPS are included.
Here's the flashable zip of CNA 1.3.2 ported to the Vibrant (includes gps fix also) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/CNA_4.0.3_1.3.2_Vibrant-signed.zip

No Wipe needed over CNA 1.3.2, full wipe is OK and probably recomended if you are using a kernel other than stock.
Do a backup, try it out.
Best ICS if used!
I've been using this for about 4 hours and I have to say this is the smoothest most customizable ics rom I have used.
And thank you for posting all the need files, would have been nice when I flash this earlier.

Yeah, It's pretty sweet. I haven't run into any bugs yet.
The only thing I found is that the signal bars are full when you have service but nothing in between. So it shows either you have no service or full service but that's not a big deal.

Nice work, just a heads up I'm using the latest glich(b3) and got black screen after unlocking. But then I just locked then unlocked again and it was fine.
Edit: oh and by the way I don't think I'll go back to another ics rom, it has been that good!
The bomb
This rom is the bomb.....thanks Bob
WOW.
This is a pretty damn smooth rom. Smoother than the experience i've had with Passion.
Bob, I want you to make a [PORT] thread in the dev section. This is a really good ROM that you've ported. and I thank you.
I came directly from V13 Passion, no wipe. Did follow instructions from OP.
Some notes: The Bootanimation looks really low quality and pixelated.
Are you using the same kernel as Passion? It has the same image for the kernel loader.
The rom boots up REALLY fast.
Errors:
Currently my Market is NOT working. Rebooted, and I will perform OTHER things to try and fix it, but the error is "SERVER ERROR =RETRY="
I tried Wiping DATA,CACHE etc.
I will now try to push another VENDING.APK from the actual rom into this.
Cancel that, tried it, did not work. Also I looked in this ROMS System/APP and there is no Vending.apk ...?
=====================================================
I TRIED TO FLASH FROM ABSOLUTE WIPE market still does not work.
Another problemo: External SD does not show up mounted on computer.
Another: It takes a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time to get signal for me.
Haven't tested if its just the signal not updating itself or not...
If nothing works, i'll wipe data(format) and then try again. This seems like a good rom to try out. I'll let others know as well.
*so far recommended to try by me, the smoothness is amazing.

Not sure about the market mine is working, but the external sd is a know problem. They are working on a fix in the next release over in the i9000 forum.
Mine also takes a while to get service, about a min if not more after boot.

Thanks, Things I've noted.
External SD does not show up on computer but works on phone.
It sometimes takes awhile after reboot to get phone service, but it comes. toggling wifi usually turns it on.
In the reboot menu it looks like reboot is selected but it's actually recovery. select reboot again and you're fine.
I'm using the Passion v12 b8 kernel. I tried Glitch but didn't like.
My market worked fine, but I have either upgraded from Passion v12 or did a wipe and started from scratch.
GPS works fine after a boot but IDK if will continue after deep sleep.
After a clean wipe, market is still not working, and it is not my wifi connection, i tried browser and went to other websites, and it works.
Anyone mind giving me their Vending.apk or something and tell me where to put it i thought it was system/app
Or anyone know what to do about Market problem?

ignore my issues about market, i rebooted for the... 6th time and then it decided to finally let me into Google Market. haha
Anyways i'll give it a shot for a day, and regarding the post above the one you posted, I don't have a data plan, so I don't ever use GPS anyways. Is there a way I can shut it off from pinging so much? remove gps files itself or something??
thanks for the great rom bro.
aww it doesn't have ICS style blue checkmarks

Hey bob if its giving you that much trouble, 1.3.3.1 is going to be released tomorrow with some fixes, so maybe wait till then. And a quick Q; where do you replace the kernel files in the rom zip so i dont have to flash it afterwards?
Alright thanks man, bootanimation goes in system/media correct?
Also, MAKE A THREAD FOR THIS RIGHT [email protected]$#@%[email protected]
IDK if you're going to keep the same name from ported rom or make a new one, but if you decide on a new one, make it something interesting something thats fun to say

The boot animation is a CWM flashable. or pull bootanimation.zip out and put in system/media.
Any ideas about the bit of lag i'm getting? It's mostly in the Settings app, I for example, uncheck/check something, it just holds for like 5 seconds and then registers my touch.

I'm not sure. I get it sometimes too, then it goes away. Something must be running in the backround. Try closing out apps in the app switcher and see if it helps.
SlimJB4.3 for Canadian Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** Disclamer ***[/SIZE][/B]
THIS ROM IS FOR THE CANADIAN SGH-I757M ONLY... DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANOTHER DEVICE!
By flashing this ROM, you are voiding your phones warranty (Unless you return it
to complete stock which is possible, but beyond the scope of this thread). You
also agree that I will in no way be held responsible in the event that your
device becomes bricked (Not likely to happen). In addition, you are responsible
to take the necessary backups of your apps, data, sms, contacts, calendar events, etc.
If you agree, then please continue on ;)[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RECOVERY REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
Due to the addition of user control in Jellybean 4.3, you are required to update
your recovery to a supported recovery. As of this writing, the latest available
version is CWM6.0.3.9/Philz6.07.9 for the SGH-I757M.
If you flash the new ROM with the old incompatible recovery, you risk loosing
your sdcard under a bunch of subfolders.[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RADIO FIRMWARE REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
As of SlimBean4.2, ICS radios (I757MUGLH2) are no longer supported. You must download the new JB radios (I757MUGMC5).[/COLOR]
Introduction
It's finally here :-D SlimBean4.3 (Android4.3.x) for the Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M). Among the most notable new features are new adreno graphics drivers with triple buffering (this is project butter). This is the latest SlimBean4.3 and has all of the features of a SlimRom that you've come to love. Don't forget to download the special gapps package to get the full SlimBean experience while using "The Real Dark Slim" feature.

What Doesn't Work
* I experienced an incompatibility with some of my existing mp4 media files and when gallery tries to load them they cause a soft reboot. Loading these videos into the gallery media player using a 3rd party file manager seems to work without issue, it is the loading of the preview in gallery that causes the phone to crash.
Solution: The solution is to use a file manager to move the mp4 files to a new directory and add a ".nomedia" file to that directory so that when browsing photos in the gallery, it does not try to load the offending mp4 files. You can still view these mp4 files, but you must open them with a file manager directly into the video player instead of using the gallery to access them.
* The camcorder records just fine, but when playing back the video, it's just a distorted video. Audio is fine, and I have not tested video with a third party app. If you test one and it works, please post that here so that others may benefit from your findings.
This seems to have been fixed as of the 20140121 build
* The latest Google Drive seems to be missing classes and will not open. This may be due to a missing content provider or may be a bug with the Google Drive app itself.
Solution: The solution for this is to uninstall the latest version of Google Drive, then go to Settings -> Security and enable Unknown Sources. Then open the Play Store and turn off automatic updates or it will end up overwriting the older version and you will be left with a non-working Google Drive again. Once all that is complete, download and install this Google Drive instead:

FAQ
Q. Why is my screen flickering?
A. There is a bug in this ROM where the board can't decide whether to display the frames with the cpu or the gpu, thus the flickering while it resolves the issue. To fix it, disable HW Overlays in Developer Options. There is a script that has been included with this ROM in the init.d that sets that on every boot so you shouldn't have to.

Tips and Tricks
Use the Bell Flex APN. You can select it by going to:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
This helps fix some issues with VPN and some other system services.
Logcat what is it and how do I get one?
A logcat is the system log of events that occur on your device. This log provides the developers with some useful information pertaining to crashes and other bugs you may encounter while using the ROM and/or apps running on the ROM. Getting a logcat is generally a very simple thing. Just open your terminal emulator on your phone and type the following commands without typing the $ as it denotes a command on the command line:
$ su
$ logcat -v long > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command above will ask you to grant superuser permission to the terminal emulator which you must accept. The second command will create a file at the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt and then start writing the logs to this file. Since the logcat is a continuous function, your terminal emulator will not return you to the command prompt after the second command as it will continue to write logs until you stop it by pressing the x to close the emulator.
If you are experiencing an issue with an app, then you need to do the steps above to get the logcat recording, then press your home button so that you don't close the emulator, but put it in the background. Then you do the action that causes the bug to occur and then open the emulator and terminate it to stop the log from writing. this ensures that the error is located somewhere around the end of the log and makes it easier for us to spot
What is dalvik-cache and why do I need it?
To explain dalvik cache, you must understand how an app is pieced together. An apk (android app) is like a zip file and contains a bunch of files inside. Two important files to note are the resources.arsc and the classes.dex files. They are compiled versions of the resources (images, sounds, xml files) and classes (source code files) of the app. When android boots into a ROM for the first time, and everytime you install an app, the system performs an optimization called dex optimization which means that is pulls the dex file out of the app and places it into what is called your dalvik cache. The system can then pre-load these dex files and allow the app to start quickly.
Dalvik cache is stored in two locations, at /data/dalvik-cache for user apps and at /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps. We unfortunately have a very small partition for /cache, only 100MB and this sometimes causes a side effect on first boot where it fills up to much with apps that only ever run on the first boot to setup the system and then other dex files cannot be written to the /cache partition which causes them to Force Close (FC). The trick in this situation, is to bear through the FC messages to get the system to the home screen, then reboot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache from the Advanced sub-menu. This will delete all the dex files in both locations I mentioned above and will force the system to regenerate them upon reboot, and this time, those 1-time running apps don't start up and don't end up being optimized which allows the necessary dex files to be created for the apps that were FC'ing.
I have moved what I could from the system partition to the data partition to spare some extra space on /cache but this still sometimes happens, especially as the ROM's get slightly bigger every new major version.

titanic_fanatic, I just bought a pawned SGH-I757M and flashed your ROM on my device.
I love it, but there is one problem with my device. I find that the AMOLED screen is much too warm for my eyes. I know that CyanogenMod has in color modifier sliders but in this case, the kernel doesn't support it.
Is there any chance you may point me in the right direction in order to get this feature working? Or am I at lost with the SGH-I757M?
Thank you very much for your hard work, much appreciated!!!

Hey
Is this any different from the Cyanogenmod 10.2 iteration other than aesthetics? Does the battery and performance offer more seeing that it is supposed to be a much smaller and compact kernel?. I really have to urge to flash this, but I don't know if its worth my time considering I have already flashed CM10.2 recently and am very happy with it. Thanks!

Only difference is in features and it's been slimmed down.Other than that, it's the same ROM. I just posted it for those who like the slim features check this page out for the list of slim features:

Amazing
I just flashed it, its amazing! Especially "The Real Dark Slim"! However, I did notice Google + doesn't work properly asking me to re install it at the play store. Had to uninstall using Titanium Backup and then install it back via app store, not sure now whether it has the the real dark slim feature integrated in google +. Other than that, it's really smooth so far Great port.
UPDATE: Google drive also doesn't work as it force closes continuously even after wiping dalvik's cache. I'll try redownloading the gapps tomorrow, might have a corrupt downloaded file.
I Fashed latest slim as well. It is running really well so far. I had the same issue with Google+ until I uninstalled using TB then reininstall from play store.

Can confirm issue with Google+..
Thank you t_f for looking into mdnie. Also, flashing the unmodified lock screen handle available on Slim's website did not work, I still see the Slim logo. Aaah I wish I had time to figure out the android build environment.. I mean its probably just ant lol

I noticed while testing the latest slim that hw overlay is disabled by default. Is this by design or necessary with this rom? I know this issue is addressed in your other ROMs but not sure about this one. BTW with fairly heavy use I am currently at 40% battery over 20 hours. Quite acceptable.

It is intentional. Disabling the hw overlays is a performance hit, and it seemed that slim didn't need that hack because the overlays are working correctly
I know, the latest ROMs are running smooth and battery is much better since I tweaked the kernel for both.
I'm also really enjoying my new computer so much that I'm playing with paranoid android too. Got it booting with a bunch of hacks and to my suprise, it's running quite well. I'll post that after I test it more and clean up the build process. Then we have choice of which ROM too use. That was the problem before, no choice strange though, there is no branch for kk in paranoid android's repo.

Just a word of caution to everyone using philz latest 6.07 cwm recovery. There is a know issue where the update-binary has now been updated as of kk and the recoveries built with kk like the new philz 6.07 are now giving assert errors (error 7).
There are two ways to fix this:
1) Revert to the older 6.01 version of philz.
2) extract the updater-script from the rom zip file, delete the assert lines and replace the old updater-script with the new one.
If you're new to all this, or consider yourself inexperienced, I recommend you go with option 1 and revert to the older philz as it's a less risky method of doing things
Sent from my SGH-I757M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Here's the link to the older philz 6.01. You can use either the 6.01.0 or 6.01.2.

Enjoy!!!
It's saying that slim isn't rooted?
Trying to keep Vanir up-to-date for our otherwise dead phone . Fix minor bugs, add minor features, a bit of compiler optimization.
I'm not updating the whole rom here! Development of branch cm-11.0 for both Vanir and CyanogenMod has stopped, so there won't be any surprises here!
Bugs:
- adb over usb doesn't work in android (but works over wifi and in recovery it works normally, so no problem)
- clear notifications icon missing when switching from quicksettings
- call recording doesn't work
- synapse doesn't work
ART:
Apart from 2 inconveniences, ART works and is fast
- optizing one app on reboot - it's a bit annoying, but otherwise harmless (happens only sometimes)
- immediately after switching to ART phone won't sleep (power button doesn't work. Just leave it for a while (15-30 minutes) and let it settle - once the screen turns of by itself, everything wil be normal
Deep sleep issue (if exists):
Check using Better Battery Stats or any tool of your choice. If it is caused by Google Play Services, simply deny them wakelock priviledge: Go to Settings/Security/Privacy Guard/Google Play Services and set Keep awake -> denied. It won't hurt sync, no worries.
Feature requests:
- Smart Pulldown from Omnirom Done
- NonIntrusive incoming call screen (@force)

Hi!
New experimental build. It is _fast_ Added more optimization flags from ArchiDroid. It still has the location FC issue though, so if it's a problem for you, stay with stable.

NT settings are old and mess with the kernel. Besides it's a ROM app, so you can't just take any version - it had to be built with the ROM. I don't support it.
Attached cm file manager to post 1 - try it (just drop it to /system/app as it doesn't seem to install the normal way)
@TheSteve87 what exactly do you need from nt app? Maybe I'll be able to add it into synapse.

i mainly use two settings, the battery voltage (?) control to have a faster charge and the audio gain options to higher the earbuds/speakers' volume
btw novathor settings are not that old, i actually extracted the apk from epirex's latest cm11 build and pushed it to /system on your vanir with no issues at all at least on the build before the beta version

And it'll only get better I almost nailed the correct compiler flags, so the next stable version will have the speed of beta (or more ), but of course without the NetworkLocationService bug.

Hi, my friend.
I've seen a known bug in CM11 derivated roms like this one. This is related to systemupdate service, the rom tryies to connect to cm software update but couldn't and causes a lot of aware.
I made this script and ran it at every boot
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver

pm disable com.google.android.gsf/com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
It make the system wake ups almost dissapear. You could try to put it in your code if you think is correct.
