That's a shame. My battery lasts longer now, @ only 80% full charge, than it did pre-root, @ 100% charge. And for insurance, spending $20 on a rechargeable battery back-up/case, gives me 380% of battery usage/charge. Yes, I can recharge up to 3 X's before I need to plug it into the wall. Enjoy your stock but you are really missing out.

So, who is going to make the next 3.5 rom?

Well after that wonderful meltdown in the development section by the King, I wonder who is next up to bat for a 3.5 rom. Functioned pretty well, I am not developer by any means so I wouldn't know where to start.
i was wondering the same thing. i was thinking of changing the boot animation & wallpaper, then post it up as "team WTF Runny" all input accepted, then talk to the guy who did the whole "4.5" & ask him to use it as the base.
& i Promise to give everyone "Net-Cred"( yep im still using it )
Runny was the right port, just handled wrong
I hope nobody does, teach these fools a lesson in matters. No wonder why everyone is jumping ship, people have 0 appreciation for the work and time these devs put into these projects. There is a huge difference between constructive criticism and being a total ass.
You all get exactly what you deserve, NOTHING.

Real talk bro, & dont take this the wrong way, I told dude flat out if i had a bag filled with [email protected]#ks i wouldnt give him one.
DONT PLAY ME PIMP!!!
I took time to PM the dude to let him know i stand behind his decision, no matter how much of a ***** move I thought it was, because i know how hard it is dealing with people on the net & real life events. that called keeping it 100.
so when you put on that lil red cape Cap'n, make sure you fight the right crime.

I was (and still am) prepared to wait for a ROM that is ready for prime time. Some people got all critical when this and that did not work... but read the title of the thread. It was a WIP / Beta... really should have been called (pre)Alpha. Fun to play with if you have the time but don't get upset when you can't send a MMS.
I am waiting for a Sprint based 3.5 ROM to be ported... I think that will be much more productive. Until then... MikG!

[ROM] Android Open Kang Project - a500 Teaser [Fixed Wi-Fi!]

Not going to make this too formal. Just putting a teaser out there for the a500 users who want a taste of AOKP. Things will and are broken, namely camera and audio. This is how far I've gotten in 7 days and I had zero source to work with in the beginning. Hope you guys find it pretty good so far!
Full wipe and flash ROM.
Reserved.

Very, very interesting proposal. Thanks greatly for the tremendous effort. As for the broken items and bugs, how is that any different than any ASOP ROM?
Well, hey, I'll download it. You people know me, I'll flash anything
OP, you want me to PM you with feedback?
But if it be bricken me tab matey, I'll be comin fer ya

Ok, install no problems. Looks like you have the same screen artifacts on boot as the current acer boot.image
1. Reboots after going to sleep. My guess kernel
2. I get 3g (501) signal and setings menus. This means it gets a signal, knows it's there, but can't lock on to an apn. Will work with this. Have to check your xml files.
Reboot when sleep is very annoying. Means I have to keep the screen active.
What kernel (device did you get this from?
Am surprised, none of the 501 users want to get involved. Ok, so be it.
Lots of folks are probably at work still...

It's a safe flash
Just remember what the OP said. No Wifi yet.
And, as I stated, if you let it go to sleep, it will reboot. So I would like, to check GPS, which means, you have to get GPS status.apk, and install it manually
But I like the signal bar comes up. But we 501 people, have to work on this. Everybody is fixed on the 500 leak.

No offense FFM
---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Ok people, I am ex military, family tradition.
I would suggest those interested, we take an issue,
1. GPS
2. Wifi
3. 3g
Forget the kernel issues for now, as it's beyond me at the time.
I'll take 3g. More experience in it. If others want to do it also, well, communicate.
Wifi, should be moderate. Mostly apks and xml.s and hopefully not kernel related (I don't think it is)
GPS will be kernel related, but in this case, because I get signal bars, I think the kernel is ok. So, apk's and xml.
This is just a starting point. And of couse, if we take the same point, it doubles the output.

Not asking for your schedule, as we all have them. Just when you post something, you have to be prepared for immediate response. No offense intended
So, that sorted out, and others know you will respond, where do we go from here?
Fair warning, it is 2300 moscow time. I will go get some sleep. Work for a few hours in the early morning.

According to the information in the forum, I expect my S3 (Titanium Gray) to become dead in 2-3 months. Titanium Gray models arrived later on the market. Most probably that's the reason why they are still alive.

It can't be involved since there are electronics in the phone and in the battery that control the incoming current etc. They have nothing in common with eMMCs.

Reddit user claims to be able to unlock Verizon bootloader

Saw this on reddit today and figured I'd share. Assuming he's talking about 7.1.1 since it's pretty well known that dePixel8 can unlock pre 7.1.1. Having a hard time believing it...
Interesting
I dunno he might ask for money so I'm sure this is a troll
Well since they did not specify the version of Android they were on, it may be real or they are mistaken and didn't know about the older method for 7.1.
If it was BS, they would have included 7.1.1 in the post because it was gather a lot of attention.
Has anyone tried reaching out to him to see if it's legit?

Yeah... I'm not buying it.
As the old cliche goes, "the proof is in the pudding". He said he'd post on XDA last night, and there's nothing so far.....
Yeah sorry - I've been busy with work, life, and much more. I'm happy to share my method with anyone on XDA who currently has a Verizon Pixel and is on 7.1.1 with a locked bootloader. Also, I'd really like to limit this to those who are actively trying to exploit the bootloader and would benefit from having an unlocked bootloader (testing purposes, etc). Feel free to reach out to me here or on reddit.
I'm not asking for any money, and I'm not asking for any donations. My method will never be sold, nor is it worth any bug bounty. It is a limited use method though, so if everyone uses it, it will eventually stop working.
To be transparent: It's not a true unlock by any means. It requires a bit of craftiness. My intention of posting the OP was to get unlocked devices into the hands of anyone who is going to try to exploit the bootloader. I'm just a casual at this and haven't done a lot of hardware hacking in my 15 years of development. (While I'm looking, I have yet to find anything).
I've updated my reddit post to include my xda username for anyone who wants verification.

@social-design-concepts, @blueyes,
Anything of interest here?

Yeah sorry - I've been busy with work, life, and much more. I'm happy to share my method with anyone on XDA who currently has a Verizon Pixel and is on 7.1.1 with a locked bootloader. Also, I'd really like to limit this to those who are actively trying to exploit the bootloader and would benefit from having an unlocked bootloader (testing purposes, etc). Feel free to reach out to me here or on reddit.

I'm limiting the method to actual developers. You've stated in your message that you're not a developer.

I'd like it to test it out and post results (not method) if you would like.

Bruh I said I built Roms for myself, and I'd be willing to post them on my own.

I think he/she is looking more for recognized devs.. Thats what I took from his/her reddit post. Anyone can say they are but he/she asked for some type of proof..
NalNalas said:
I mean I'm pretty sure I've made posts before about making Roms? I did it for my G2. I also have stuff from the dude I asked awhile ago. Idk what proof to post honestly.

He's looking for someone like @jcase.
