Guide by Qeemi
FOR S5830I
How to proceed:
First of all, after having rooted the device, install Busybox 1.18.2. Download Busybox Installer from the store Play.Once downloaded, open Busybox Installer and choose the version 1.18.2 from the drop-down menu and tap on Install at the bottom. Wait until you install it, close the application and uninstall it.
Now download the Script Manager, install it in phone memory, open it. You will see a window, step on Browse as Root and then click Ok. Then tap the button to the left of the center, and Other ----> ------> Advanced Options> Configuration and make sure it's unchecked the option "export $ HOME".
Now download the script from here and move it to your SD card.
Open Script Manager, tap on V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-Update9_RC8.2.sh
Then tap on "ON" (small skull of Android) and then "Run" at the top.
Wait for it to end the "Test Drive". (To display the keyboard,tap on the screen)
Configuration:
1) When prompted selected with "B" indicating to use the build.prop and not the local.prop
2) Press enter when prompted for the first time to go to setting of the driver.
3) It is requested the speed of scrolling of the script, we set 2 (middle) so we will have the opportunity to read the various commands
4) We are now asked if we run a "fix permissions" on every boot, then press "y" (or any key except "n") then enter.
5) We are asked whether to integrate the script in the / init.rc (folder that contains all the scripts that are executed at boot time) press Y and hit enter
6) We are asked whether to disable the animation presentation of the script each time you invoke the script from the Script Manager, set "Yes".
7) Press Enter to return to the console Driver
8) We are asked whether to apply the settings recommended by the "SuperMinFree Calculator", not accepted by pressing a button other than Y then click Send
9) Press enter again to return finally to the console of Driver
10) We are asked to choose a setting from 1 to 31, Board of type 7 (Super UnLedded) is the ideal setting for the quantity of the Galaxy Acei of ram (290 MB), then hit return. Let Him work.
11) After the establishment press enter to move on and enter
12) Since this is the first time you run the script will now run a "SuperClean" (a wipe Dalvik), press enter
13) When prompted, press Y and the phone will restart.
14) Re-open V6 Supercharger until you return to the choice of various options (no need to resetall, do not worry).
15) Check if the phone is "Supercharged" (just check Supercharged written next to it says 100%).
If yes the stop is at this point, otherwise continue
16) Exit 31 from the script by typing
17) With Script Manager go in folder "/ data" in the phone memory. Scroll down until you find 99Supercharger.sh.
18) Tap on it, then tap on "ON" and "boot" and then click Run at the top. This will open the script, wait for it to appear the word ") Supercharge Complete (" and exit from the Script Manager.Done!

You have to use the script again, but it will fund all your settings.

Desire C people!
This stuff is good. Probably you heard about it already, now I tried it and seems to work very well, especially the memory management. Quite a sophisticated tool as far as me noob understand ugh,ugh! :cyclops:
So basically a collection of kernel and memory management tweaks, but has a lot of other like SD card tweaks and maintenance scripts which you can also schedule with SManager. And the download page has some other useful stuff like 3G turbocharger and battery calibrator.
In all it seems like a must have for DC users.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
Once you used it a bit it's pretty straight forward and explains everything in details when running the script, and you have the option to "unsupercharge", but have a nandroid backup at hand.
I used two guides, but the first is for Galaxy and the second is less detailed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603953
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908505
And for Desire C, check the post below
Many thanks for nikhil16242 for recommending me this, many scripts are in his Customiser already, he would have integrated the whole V6 Supercharger, but Aroma doesn't like it. That would be awesome though!
All credits to zeppelinrox for these truly awesome scripts:good:
One wonders why android doesn't have some of them by default.
V6 Supercharger Install Guide for Desire C
~ v6 supercharger install guide for desire c ~
aka how I have done it, so it's not an absolute one.
zeppelinrox's original thread is here.

It's the ONLY one of it's kind
NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?
Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
Also, because of the rearrangement, it works the same on all roms!
The problem with using minfree tweakers like AMM or AKMO is that it doesn't work the same on all roms.
Secondary apps may be in slot 3 on some roms but in slot 5 in others!
That's why you hear people comment "I tried AKMO but it didn't do anything..."
Most likely it didn't do anything because the apps weren't sitting where they were expected to be.
So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride!

NOTE: Delete all conflicting scripts from init.d folder, otherwise it will be laggy and annoying!
Conflicting scripts I have found so far:
- all the thunderbolt except miuiCMremount (V6 does most of these like sd card tweaks and zipalign anyway)
- mpengine and laserdroid (also from /system and /xbit)
If you don't know which scripts are from where, unzip nikhil16242's Customiser and check the folders.
Also do not install everything on one breath. Do it gradually (v6 - nullifier - engine flush and so on), test with a demanding game like Temple Run, so you can opt out any possible problems.
What you need:
All V6 scripts are here.
ScriptManager [download]
- If you have stock ROM:
Download Supercharger Starter Kit from the V6 scripts, on the page it's explained how to use it, couldn't be more simple:
Using SuperCharger Starter Kit (Prepares your ROM with the fixed su binary, zipalign binary, sqlite3 binary and busybox v1.19.4... and does NOT include the V6 SuperCharger scipt):
- Extract the zip to the root of the sdcard and it will all be in /sdcard/SuperCharger_Starter_Kit
- With Script Manager, just run StartMeUp.sh to install everything at once.
- Or, in terminal do: su, enter, sh /sdcard/Super*/Start*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All the rest is the same as the following:
- If you are on custom ROM:
then busybox is already installed, so you don't need the starter kit.
I. SUPERCHARGER INITIAL SETUP
The script guides you through the process, so watch it closely. In the setup it automatically determines some optimal settings, but you can change them any time.
Step 1. Put the latest V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-UpdateX_XXX (X is the actual version number) on your SD card
Step 2. In SManager:
--- 1. make sure you have granted SuperUser access, and set browse in root (long press recent apps button > Menu > Advanced > Configuration > Browse as root), but if you used before it's already set
--- 2. open the script on your SD card, set the properties to: Favorites (star icon), Root (green android skull icon) and tap Run to execute the script installer.
Step 3. A bunch of text start to come up, watch it closely, it guides you through the installer. Home Locked in Memory? n (No) and press enter and another enter to continue to drivers console.
First it goes to Pit Stop to set Driver Options, where you will be asked for Scroll Speed but also various tweaks which can improve the performance. Go through each and decide if you want them or not (I enabled most of them in he script)
When asks Use Build.Prop? : n (No) to use local.prop - I chose this, it sounds safer.
Step 4. You need to patch services.jar. It can be done automatically or manually (however the script recommends manual, and when I did it automatically for the first time, it did not backup services.jar and could not unsupercharge, only by restoring it from the rom .zip) Don't worry, doing it manually couldn't be easier:
In the Driver's Console choose:
25. Jelly ISCream Parlor {Install services.jar}Choose manual mode, which will take you to the [RC9] ULTIMATIC RC6! [EXE]-=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=-With Maximum MultiTasking Mods! thread in your default browser, from which the essential instructions are the following:
--- 1. Connect your Android to your PC with Android Debugging ENABLED and Mass Storage DISABLED so your device has access to your sdcard. I just put it in Charge Only mode...
--- 2. Download the latest Ultimatic_Jar_Patcher_Tools_XXX_Windows.exe.zip to your PC - Windows exe is NOT zipped. Just remove the .zip extension!
--- 3. Start the exe and follow the instructions in the script. It will ask you which mode you want to use your Launcher in: Hard To Kill Launcher, Die-Hard Launcher or BulletProof Launcher. Choose Hard to Kill (HK), it is the best for our device.
You can add Maximum Multitasking mod as well, according to tests it works fine, but I did not install it in the beginning, then didn't bother
If follow the instructions in the script till the end, your services.jar should be patched, and the script will confirm this.
--- 4. On your phone in V6 script, you are still in the menu 25., right? Press x (exit), which takes you again to the Driver's Console. Choose: 32. SuperClean & ReStart! (ie. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Reboot)
Step 5. Press enter to return to Drivers Console. Pressing enter will automatically run Quick V6 Cust-OOMizer and will calculate optimum SuperMinFree values
Apply SuperMinFree Calculator Settings? : y (Yes) to apply calculated MinFree (low memory killer - lmk) values so you don’t need to choose, but you can change it after completing the initial setup and then running the script again in menu point:
10. Quick V6 Cust-OOMizer.Or if you type n (No), you can choose manually right away, doesn't make a difference. If it was set automatically, go to step 5. and come back later if you want to change it:
For a low memory device like ours, 512 HP recommended, these are the options in menu points:
5. UnLedded (Multitasking) {8,14,40,50,60, 75}
6. Ledded (Balanced) {8,14,55,70,85,100}
7. Super UL (Aggressive) {8,14,75,90,95,125} - it does 130-140MB
However the best setting recommended me by educated colleague nikhil16242 and I tried is:
10 15 25 45 80 100 (slot1 - slot2 and so on)
with this I always have 120-130MB free RAM and no lag, Temple Run is butter smooth Basically it kills processes below that level (but still prioritises them - really smart script), which means less multitasking, but two-three apps that I needed in multitask were working perfectly, I didn't notice any difference, but snappier phone.
Try whichever suits you best.
Step 6. Press Enter - this action will backup Re-SuperCharger files to SD Card, in case you want to restore your Supercharger settings.
Step 7. SuperClean & ReStart : y (Yes), this will wipe your dalvik-cache so bootup time will take longer this time.
Step 8. After restart, open SManager and:
--- 1. Go to /system/etc/init.d (you can bookmark it for later access)
--- 2. Tap on S99SuperCharger and set the following properties:
------ a. Favorites (star icon)
------ b. Root (green android skull icon)
------ c. Start on Boot (gear icon)
--- 3. Tap on Save, close Script Manager and Restart your phone
NOTE:
If you don’t follow step 8., you will get an error the next time you run the script and it will show you owner’s handbook on your default web browser.
II. OOMIFIER & LAUNCHER
If you patched services.jar and choose SuperMinFree values manually then you have this already. If not, then:
OOM Grouping Fixes will determine which are the more priority apps and keeps them alive better. The Launcher mode determines how easy it will be for the mem killer to kill the launcher in case of low memory. Works flippin good, I'm tellin ya
Step 9. After restart, open SManager and Run V6_SuperCharger_for_AndroidX_XXX script again (make sure you run it in root [skull icon] but not boot [gear icon])
--- 1. SuperCharger will run Test Drive, just wait for it to finish and then continue to the Drivers Console.
During the install it should set the optimal mode automatically, which was BulletProof for me, probably because I chose the aggressive memory kill (sounds convincing lol) mode. Anyway, this means the Launcher will never get killed, about which some say it's not recommended.
--- 2. So on the Drivers Console you can choose between these launcher modes in the menu points, in reverse order of toughness:[/INDENT]
11. OOM Grouping Fixes + Hard To Kill Launcher
12. OOM Grouping Fixes + Die-Hard Launcher
13. OOM Grouping Fixes + BulletProof LauncherEventually I changed it to Hard To Kill, but it's up to you.
--- 3. Hard To Kill? : y (Yes) to apply
Press Enter to go back to Drivers Console
III. NITROLAG NULLIFIER
It's an experimental feature, don't know what it does exactly, but I switched it on Everything is flawless for me since, so I say go for it.
Step 10. In the Drivers Console, select:
21. Nitro Lag Nullifier {Experimental}Enter (N)ullify, (U)n-Nullify, E(X)it: N (Nullify) to apply Nitro Lag Nullifier
After applying Nitro Lag Nullifier, press enter to go back to Drivers Console.
IV. 2 in 1 ENGINE FLUSH
It flushes the RAM cache so the phone doesn't get sluggish after days of usage.
The 2 Modes are: -=Fast Engine Flush=- for instant flush and -=Engine Flush-O-Matic=- for automation.
Step 11. In the Drivers Console, select:
17. Engine Flush-O-Matic {ReCoupe RAM Booster}Continue and drop all file system caches? : y (Yes) to clear system cache on RAM
It will ask you (gives you 20 s to decide lol) if you want to automate it, so you don't need to schedule it in SManager. If yes, you set an interval between 1-24, which counts as hours, so it determines how frequently flushes the RAM cache. Some people set it for every hour, so why not, I did that too. Hmmm that was good
After Engine Flush, press enter to go back to Drivers Console.
V. SUPERCLEAN AND RESTART
Wipes dalvik and reboots the phone, you need that before you start to using it.
Step 12. In the Drivers Console, select:
30. SuperClean & ReStart {Wipe Dalvik & Reboot}Do you want to SuperClean & ReStart now? : y (Yes)
VI. VERIFY SUPERCHARGER STATUS
Step 13. After restart, open SManager and run V6 SuperCharger again. You should see Supercharger Level: 100%, then you are good to go.
As the script rolls it indicates your settings so you know what is set and what's not. You can check out the other menu points, and number:
27. Owner's Guide {Open !SuperCharger.html}This opens the... Owners Guide! ...in the default browser, you can wise yourself up about the different options.
VII. KICKASS KERNELISER
Downolad the script and launch it the same way as V6. Look at the text, wisen up and choose KickAss (k).
It will place S98KickAssKerneliser script in init.d, skull it and gear it, and reboot the phone.
TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are only 75% supercharged, that probably means MinFree (the mem killer) settings doesn't stick (so you see you have the usual low amount of free RAM). Check the S99Supercharger script in SManager if it has the root and boot privileges (In /system/etc/init.d or Long pressing recent apps button > Menu > Scripts), set them again if they were not and reboot the phone. If it's not set again, open Owner's Guide to figure out what's next, but if you followed the steps properly, you should be fine.
Check the note in the beginning of the post for deleting conflicting scripts!
All the scripts and backups are in two places:
1. on SD card /V6_SuperCharger folder
2. /data/V6_SuperCharger
and the logs and manuals under them.
When you run a script in SuperCharger, it places a separate one in the folders, so you can make widgets with SManager for fast access:
- Long press home screen, select SManager from widgets, locate the SuperCharger folder and select the script you want to have at hand.
- For example for quick change between MinFree modes, the scripts will be in V6SuperCharger/PowerShift_Scripts (you need to run them in SuperCharger first in order to be created separately, or if you installed the additional V6 scripts (or something like that) in nikhil16242's Customiser before, they will be in init.d already).
You'll know you have chosen a suitable MinFree mode if if you play Temple Run with no lags at all shaboooooom!!!!
See, wasn't too hard and you are SuperCharged now.
Enjoy it like a Boss!
Kudos to CarlDeanCatabay and Androidmarketuser for the guides that helped me and are in the OP.
And most of all to zeppelinrox for V6 SuperCharger :good:
Started reading looks great but by ekk I'm finding it hard to get my old head round some of it. Usually when I'm like this I have to read read read till it starts making sense .So will prolly take me a bit of time.
Re: [Script][TWEAKS] V6 Supercharger
This script is really awesome once you get everything done properly,just takes a while to read the entire OP though .
Ram management is another very essential thing to be done on a low ram device like ours.Stock ram management seems to be poor imo so I use this and the results are truely amazing .

guide updated
Hey guys, well actually i have an issue while i'm trying to run the v6 supercharger. It succesfully passes the drive test but it gets stuck at the next step. it throws me a lot of lines like 'find system/lost+found/ Too many open files' and i can't get rid of it, please help
this guide is quite old now, supercharger has been updated since numerous times. if you have a nandroid backup restore it, if not then ask zeppelinrox in his original thread. also supercharger does automatic backup before you apply the settings, which can be restored from the menu if something goes wrong, try it.
in the subsequent posts below, you will find all the info you need for not only the device but the ROMs I have had my hands in.
each person who I pulled the files from will get a thanks in the posts as necessary
NonSense 1.04
Disclamer: these files are meant specifically for the HTC Desire 510. Use these files at your peril, you assume any responsibility for loss or damage that may result from use of these files or procedures. what has been included in this tutorial is for the HTC Desire 510
You have been warned.
note: from now on CRI signifies cricket, and B-S signifies sprint/boost if those signifiers aren't used, it applies to both type of this phone
now to the goodies.....
List of supplies:
1. Phone (HTC Desire 510)
2. USB cord that syncs with the PC
3. USB drivers installed for the phone
4. the zip files from this location. click here
4.1 there are 2 different versions of the same ROM, but the *1.04-lean.zip is US only (refer to changes to see why).
4.2 CRI for cricket/att, B-S for boost/sprint
5. read these instructions completely before attempting
before we get started make sure you have supersu (which can be downloaded from here), and NonSense1.04.zip copied to the root of your external SD card
NETWORK UNLOCK (I.E. switching services)
as this phone is LTE compatible, it takes a SIM card no matter the service to receive calls and data. so it stands to presume all you need to do is network unlock the device (Sprint calls it UICC unlock, others it's the Network Unlock Code)
the phone needs to be network (SIM) unlocked in order to switch it from cricket to sprint, or from sprint to virgin mobile, etc.
to network unlock the phone:
1. make sure you are on stock ROM (the one that came with the phone, not the one listed in this post nor CM)
2. call the respective original service provider of the phone (i.e. cricket, sprint, etc.) and tell them that you are leaving the country (like to Australia) and you want to unlock the SIM so you can use your device for service down there.
2.1 if you bought the phone second-hand or don't have service on it, you will have to find a reputable unlock service online
2.2 for sprint customers, your account HAS to be at least 6 months old before they will give you the UICC(SIM unlock) code
2.3 for boost customers, your account HAS to be at least a year before they will give you the UICC(SIM unlock) code
3. once you have the SIM unlock code, pull battery from phone, remove the original SIM, put your services respective SIM in (i.e. originally a cricket phone now running a T-Mobile SIM), put in battery, boot phone, and enter the unlock code where it asks.
4. once your back into device, you'll notice you will have no data.
4.1 what needs to be done is to program the APN (google will be your best friend here - for example sprint lte apn settings, or T-Mobile lte apn settings).
5. now that you have the APN settings, you can program them into the phone.
5.1 APNs can be found in the device by going to settings, then mobile data, clicking on access point names. in there in the upper right hand corner should be 3 dots that are verticle. click on that and then on new APN.
5.2 add the respective settings, click save and then make sure it has a green dot next to it.
6. sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor
APNs for this device can only be written once the phone has been UNLOCKED and the original (cricket) service providers SIM is NOT inserted, and your using another service Provider ( sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) SIM.
UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
1. for the drivers, use the ones contained here in the HTCDrivers.zip and extract them to the desktop
1. extract and use the file contained in adb.zip to flash unlock token
2. follow this tutorial and choose all other supported devicess when it asks about device.
INSTALLING TWRP AND KERNEL
in the adb file you should notice a file called recovery.img. that is TWRP recovery for the device
there is also a file called boot.img. this will allow read/write permissions at the System level once root is obtained
if you have either the sprint, boost or another service provider's variety of this phone, try flashing their respective kernel after you install the ROM or before you root (no guarantees that flashing the respective kernel will work. as I have the cricket variety of this phone, I am only developing for that one)
1. from home screen, go to settings and scroll down to power and then scroll all the to the bottom of that and uncheck "fast boot"
2. shut down phone completely
3. go back into fastboot (vol down + power)
4. Select fastboot from the menu list and press the power button.
5. open command prompt and use the CD command to get it to the root of the adb folder (CD C:/users/sky/desktop/adb).
6. plug in device and wait for it to say fastboot USB
7. type in command prompt "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' (should complete within 4 seconds)
8. in the same command window type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (should complete within 4 seconds)
8.1 step 8 can be skipped if your just flashing *NonSense1.04*.zip
9. pull battery once that is completed and put it back in.
10. power device on (skip this step if rooting)
OBTAINING ROOT (can be skipped if installing NonSense1.04 as it's already rooted)
1. re-enter fastboot mode and choose recovery. press power to select it
2. once in recovery select install and go to external SD and select the supersu update package.
3. once selected, you should see a slider on the bottom of the screen that says swipe to confirm. do so
4. once package is installed you should see a button that says reboot device. do so
5. wait for it to fully load
INSTALLING NonSense 1.04
1. re-enter fastboot mode and choose recovery. press power to select it
2. once in recovery select install and go to external SD and select the NonSense1.04.zip.
3. once selected, you should see a slider on the bottom of the screen that says swipe to confirm. do so
3.1 beware, it may take a bit to install. just be patient, it's working.
4. once package is installed you should see a button that says reboot device. do so
5. wait for it to fully load. be forewarned, it may take about 15 minutes to load

3. want to get rid of annoying volume too loud warning
B-S versions
1. native hotspot says internet when connected to win 7 machine, but will not allow it to go through. Have included wifi tether as a workaround until the issue can be resolved
THANKS
CRI versions
I thank wolfaas12345 for his awesome tutorial on bootloader unlocking, pattyboi for providing a more stable kernel, and chainfire for providing a great solution to provide the SU binary and app for rooted devices. and of course, CraviingCritic for providing the original ROM in which this wouldn't be possible
B-S versions
I thank wolfaas12345 for his awesome tutorial on bootloader unlocking, pattyboi for providing the current kernel, and chainfire for providing a great solution to provide the SU binary and app for rooted devices. and of course, LarryBoyG for providing the original ROM in which this wouldn't be possible
please feel free to let me know if there's any issues with this release and i will fix them as they are found for now as this device is the one i primarily use as of right now.
I will also be keeping the links updated for as long as I own the device (being that my HTC Desire 510(Cricket) is network unlocked, that may be a long time - or until I get a better device).
UPDATES
for those of you who have downloaded the ROM since first release, I will include an CRI_NSupdate.zip or B-S_NSupdate.zip file found here. it will include the changes I have made to the rom since it's initial upload.
the file by the name of NSupdate.szip will include update that pertain to both the CRI and B-S ROMS
to install the updates, just put the update file onto the root of the SD card, reboot into recovery, choose install, pick the update file, swipe the blue button on the bottom, reboot and enjoy.
EDITING THE BOOTUP
location of files mentioned is in /system/customize/resource
to change boot animation
1. find your favorite boot animation
2. rename it to AIO_bootup.zip
3. copy/move and overwrite the original with a root explorer to /system/customize/resource
to change the boot sound
1. find a sound file you like and want to hear every time the phone boots (can be changed at any time)
2. convert it to wav (the file has to be wav in order for the phone to recognize it)
3. rename it to CRICKET_LOGO_24bit28k_STEREO.wav
4. copy/move and overwrite the original with a root explorer to /system/customize/resource
reboot and enjoy...
THINGS NOTICED WHILE CREATING ROMs
1. both (cricket and boost/sprint) phones are exactly the same except for the boost/sprint ones contain a CDMA chipset.
1.1 the only things I had to change from the cricket rom to the boost rom was apns.xml in framework-res, apns-conf.xml, and the preferred network type in build.prop.
2. all kernels work for both (US) versions
3. the same recovery is used on both (US based) devices
so essentially, if we develop for the boost/sprint version of the device, change a few things, it will be ready to roll for the cricket version as well
TO FIX NATIVE TETHER ON B-S VERSIONS
1. Install Script Manager – SManager app from the Play Store.
2. Open the app and grant it root access when prompted.
3. Now, navigate to /system/etc/init.d and tap “tether” script.
4. Click on SU and Boot (Android skull and gear icons, respectively)
5. Click on Run and Save options.
The issue should be fixed now. Reboot and enjoy!
thanks goes to qwerty6532 and LarryBoyG for the fix. now to add that permanently to the ROMs and then they'll be absolutely stable enough for me to be happy and start working on CM11
CM11
I will be building CM11 for the device for both the cricket and boost models. look for the info here as I update it a I need
****edit**** ok so I figured out some of the issue with CM11 not wanting to install apps. I got the internal memory pulling the 1.1 gbs but now I need to symlink the external memory where it goes.
****edit**** so I have figured out what needs to be done...... the kernel for CM11 needs to be built from the ground, up (or one needs to be built that is compatible with it). i'll upload the current one that fixes the memory error (look in downloads).

so as i have not been actively developing on the phone i will no longer supply updates. all flash files are up to date as of 8 months ago and should be working with out an issue.
again, reserved
same to you...
This would have to be one of the most comprehensive tutorials I have read. 10 out of 10 and kudos. Pity I have a 64 bit device and can't use most of it lol.

if I had a 64-bit version for this device, I would have it out as soon as I could. and thanks
Great job. Off and running now
I'm not sure how to add the tether fix to the ROM. Not really a developer more of a tester.. Wish I could get into developing don't really know where to start lol.
If you need any help testing or working on CM11 for Boost shoot me a PM I'd be glad to help

Question to you Schizoidd......If I install the new 1.04lean over the previous build, do I still need to flash that update or is is already included in 1.04lean. I already falshed that some time ago when you first put it out, so I'm just not sure if its needed again or not. Thanks bro.

When you flash the new one, wipe the system partition and then use an explorer to remove v4a from the user apps. Which is located in /data/apps and reboot

Yeah, I figured as much. Should have been clearer with my ? Is that before or after I flash the new lean. I though if I did it after, that it would set me back to square one. As in having to start fresh setting everything up again, which I really dont want to have to do. Apologies for my unclearness.

Right on buddy. I'll take you at your word on it. I've never had to do that before so it naturally made me a little nervous. Not that I couldnt have just restored a backup, but still . Many thanks.
Problems
System UI force closes and power button doesn't turn the screen back on when I flash the latest cricket version.

we cant really do a "aosp" kernel because of htc's modifications to the board and pins,and they have their own dtb issues...im 99% sure mine works with android 4.4.x because of larry using it in gpe,just repack the ramdisk the zimage and it should be okay

If you're going from bone stock to this, you need to do a factory data reset. Just make ssure you back up your data and use nandroid manager to pull it data back into the new ROM
Introduction
This ROM is based on lost101's, kingkaminari's and VitaTaf's work you can find here. The main aim of my modifications is putting debloating to the extreme and getting rid of intrusive Google spying services that violate user's privacy. Before you flash this ROM read all the information below and make sure you still want to do it as some stuff you find essential might be missing and irreplaceble. Please also mind you will have to setup your device manually with ADB to unlock all of its functions.
Disclaimer
Even if everything works 100% fine for me I take no responsibility for anything that happens to anyone else's device after flashing my ROM. If you want to try it, do it on your own risk. Always backup your data.

There's also no access to Developer's Options. Don't worry - they're normally being unlocked after you're done with Setup Wizard but since it's not there you need to do it manually:
1. Open ADB terminal on your computer
2. Connect your device
3. Execute the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
settings put global device_provisioned 1
settings put secure user_setup_complete 1
reboot
After reboot your device is ready to use.

Life after Google
You can try using Micro GmsCore to access Play Store content, and here are some alternatives:
1. Interesting and useful apps in F-Droid store:
- Adaway (system-wide ad blocker)
- AFWall+ (very nice firewall. I use it in whitelist mode because it blocks internet access to all apps by default)
- Etar (calendar. Won't work without Google calendar service and account)
- K-9 mail (bit ugly but awesome mail client)
- Open camera (stock camera replacement)
- Wifi automatic (turns wifi off when you lock the screen which saves battery and improves security. Bugged a little and randomly disables wifi from time to time)
- SMSsecure (messaging app with encryption)
- 920 Editor (text editor)
- Document Viewer (self explanatory)
- Network Log (self explanatory)
2. Other interesting and useful apps around the web (mostly on XDA):
- ApkTrack (app updates tracker),
- Calc+ (calculator),
- CoolTool (CPU and RAM usage and other info display),
- DejaOffice (office app that looks a bit outdated, but it's the only calendar app to work without Google services I found so far),
- Disconnect.me (private web searches; the app FC right after starting it, probably due to lack of Google search services available)
- DriveDroid (turns the phone into Linux live USB),
- ES File Explorer (file explorer),
- Firefox (web browser),
- Gravity Screen (Turning screen off and on without using physical power button),
- Greenify (apps hibernator),
- KWGT (custom widget maker),
- LiveBoot (Chainfire's app that replaces boot animation with system log display),
- maps.me (open source google maps alternative),
- MiXPlorer (file explorer),
- MoboClean (permissions manager),
- Naked Browser (web browser),
- NetGuard (no-root firewall),
- NeutriNote (notes),
- Nova Launcher (launcher)
- Open Camera (same as F-Droid app),
- Parasol (community based permission manager),
- PryFi (WiFi security),
- QuickPic (gallery),
- Recently ("close all apps" button in recents window),
- Recordr (sound recording app),
- Servicely (services management. Think twice before installing and using it - developer's G+ site, developer's APKMirror downloads
- SD Maid (cleaning tool),
- Super Backup (apps, sms, call logs, etc. backup),
- Titanium Backup (data backup),
- True phone (dialer),
- VLC (media player),
- WifiKill (WiFi killer),
- Wifi Protector (WiFi security, anti-wifikill),
- Xposed
You can find more interesting apps and links on this XDA forum
3. Software that may help you secure your device - sufficientlysecure.org
4. More security software - Secure Mobile Apps
5. XDA Labs (alpha version of XDA app store)
6. Firefox browser add-on that lets you download apk files directly from google play store (without Google account connected to your device) in case you can't find desired app anywhere else.
7. Alternative app-stores, .apk mirrors, etc. - use at your own risk. So far I only tried Amazon's store - the pro is that it exists, the cons are that it requires tons of permissions, has very unfriendly interface, takes a lot of space, and the apps you download will only work as long as the store's app is installed.

Has anyone had success getting this working yet?
I'm having trouble getting this to work.
Yesterday when I tried to install it i got the following error:
"symlink: no of syymlinks failed = 1
Updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Identity+Crisis+6+LTE+v1.0a_NoGApps_mod_v.1.0_beta.zip'
Tried again today and managed to get it to install after rebooting recovery a few times, but ended up getting into a bootloop for 40 minutes.
I tried wiping everything, ART cache, system, data, internal and cache, but still get the same, an endless bootloop.
Any ideas?
Edit: This is on an XT1039

The first issue is internal TWRP error that happens pretty randomly, just restart recovery and it should be gone. The second thing never really happened to me, and I have to ask if you've followed instalation instructions? They're quite strict. You must wipe data and do a factory reset prior to installation. Just try again, following all steps exactly.
I'd also consider waiting a bit for final stable version with error fixes of lost101's ROM I use as a base. It's still kind of WIP.
I'd sure want to try this out, just wondering how well Google Play and Youtube work with the Micro G framework? Those are basicly the only google apps I use.
I could use the browser for youtube, create a link directly to the homescreen maybe. And I probably could survive without the play store to, just download apk from a mirror and sideload, but it would be kind of a hassle.
Anyhow, I probablt wait a few weeks until the MM rom seems stable.
Are you going to update this with the latest MM build by lost101?

V1.2 seems stable, so I'll try to build something on this one, but don't really have much free time atm
No worries, just wondering!
Edit: I could actually remove all this stuff myself, the setup should be identical right?
Edit: Here is a version were I removed the same things you did. But I can't get it to work, or rather, I can't setup the phone. As your description says, you need to set it up with adb. But my computer won't detect the phone. I've tried reinstalling drivers here and there but whatever I do, Windows/adb won't detect any device. I do get a beep however that it is connected, and it says something like MTP usb device. But I can't do anything with that. I've tried installing it as an adb device instead but that didn't work.
https://mega.nz/#!P4k1QYwS!fBCp3E4uyjBXy7x6x_uTLTnj3pWjoIbgpqvodzWfEuQ
So I restored my backup, and I can connect to my pc just fine. In the device manager my device is shown as: Android Device>Motorla ADB Interface.

I read through IC thread - Lost101 is still polishing it, so I'll wait for some final build. And I guess you've got problem with ADB connection, because you didn't add persistent ADB debug to build.prop, or added but with some dodgy notepad (in Windows use Notepad++) - the lines that need to be added are in the OP.

I have found a bug.
I was setting a lockscreen password that contained = in it and it came up as bad bad characted (I thought it's just a bug because it wouldn't show that error on stock firmware) so I have tried to enter the same password once more and it worked. Then I have locked the phone and couldn't unlock it because I allways entered the wrong password.
I think that the same thing would happen to encrypted devices.
I have found an interesting app that lets you enter permission control settings without root, because these permission settings is hidden in most android versions that came before marshmallow. Not granual, but still better than nothing.
It's size is 7kb, it asks for no permissions, probably because it's just a shortcut to the settings.
To people who don't have Play Store:
Install BlueStacks on your pc.
Root it using King Root.
Install desired apps using Play Store.
Install ES File Explorer:
From panel select:
-Tools/Root Explorer
-Tools/Show hidden files
-Network/Cloud/+/your desired cloud provider and log in.
-Local/Device/data/app .
Select your installed apps and copy them to your drive.
From your Play Store missing device goto your cloud provider website, log in ,download and install your apps.
This method can be long, but you will have all of the apps that you downloaded on cloud so you won't have to do the same process over and over again.
@minimale_ldz since u bought new phone I have to ask - you still remember about Moto G members, right?

It's coming soon
@toster88 motivated me with his comment to spend some time on preparing updated version of this rom. It' based on @lost101's IC6 LTE 1.2c version and contains a few little changes:
- AnySoftKeyboard replaced with Hacker's Keyboard as ASK is a bit awkward when it comes to accesing numeric keys
- MiXplorer has been updated to the newest version (6.4.0)
- Nova Launcher added (sorry for some artifacts like empty folders or Google search box, but I have no idea how to get rid of them)
- persistent ADB debugging removed from build.prop as it's no longer needed. Init.d script deals with initial device provisionig now. /system/etc/init.d/setup can be removed after first boot if everything is working fine (quick settings, home button, developer's options, etc. are accessible).
That's about it, I hope you'll enjoy this build. Please let me know if there are any bugs specific to this rom (and not to MM or IC6 1.2c) as I'm not using XT1039 as a daily driver anymore.

@minimale_ldz - Can you share with us how did you manage to debloat all the ROM and purge every GApps out of it preserving its stability? Did you delete the apks by hand using your laptop before installing the zip or what did you exactly do? I'm keen to get this working on the very last release (1.5b) for Falcon.
Thanks in advance.

You can just unzip the rom and remove unwanted apps (with their folders) by hand in Windows file explorer and then zip it back. Or, if you wanna feel more like a propper dev you can do it with Superr Kitchen where you create custom debloat list. Both methods are confirmed to work. Removing GApps is a bit tricky as you need to remove all of them - if you leave anything it may give you FCs or black screen after boot. You will also have to choose some way to provision the device without GApps and i believe the smoothest method is by init.d script sice it's enabled in @lost101 rom and doesn't require users to do anything after installation. The script looksi like this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
su -c "settings put global device_provisioned 1"
su -c "settings put secure user_setup_complete 1"
and goes in /system/etc/init.d folder
I hope that helps.

Thanks for your response. I definitely shall give it a spin with next Identity Crisis release. It happens to me I do not work on Windows, rather GNU/Linux. Do you think I can delete all the OP mentioned apks and on top of that any missed folder/apk appearing on this link using Fedora 25? As far as I could read, the link I'm passing on has Linux instructions, though being honest, I have no leisure time to read it thoroughly and that's why I'm saying I shall do it next Identity's release better. In the meantime, I want to be a hundred percent sure about what I will do when the moment comes in. Can you tell me what provision is? What does it stand for? Should I get a signature spoofer? All I want to do is Identity working as it works itself, with no GApps and supersu working as it's been working always. Although I'd say installing microG may cushion the blow since it is a FLOSS Google framework that will not make things break in a regular use. To sum it up, do I need to create a .txt file or something with the code and thereafter make it work with a init.d script application or something similar?
Thanks for all your help! Looking forward to hear from you and sorry for my late response. Real life keeps me away from my beloved hobbie: learning.

I guess it should work pretty much the same on Linux. Do mind I've removed much more than just GApps and today I'd left some more apps in the rom as I found them useful - eg. Calendar Provider or FM radio, but it's up to you. The bare minimum, required to get rid of GApps is:
Code:
/system/app:
- ConfigUpdater
- CalendarGoogle
- GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
/system/priv-app:
- BackupRestoreConfirmation
- GmsCore
- GoogleBackupTransport
- GoogleFeedback
- GoogleLoginService
- GoogleOneTimeInitializer
- GooglePartnerSetup
- GoogleServicesFramework
- MotoOneTimeInitializer
- Phonesky
- SetupWizard
- SetupWizardExt
The list you linked is more extensive and goes deeper into the system but it's quite similair to what I've done. You cane safely remove
Code:
system/usr/srec/en-US/
as it contains speech recognition files that Google Services use to listen to us.
I was careful with
Code:
system/lib/
because I didn't find any source describing what these libraries are actually for. Removing anything with "google" in its name seems safe. You can compare what IDCrisis has with the list and see if it can be removed safely - there's a lot of experimenting involved but the list looks like a good guide.
Code:
system/vendor/pittpatt/
contains face recognition system that I find useless with or without GApps and it can be safely removed.
Now, when you remove all GApps you'll have to provision your device. Long story short is that when you first boot your phone after flashing new rom it will start with Setup Wizard where you'll be asked for wifi password, google account details and where you accept all terms & conditions. By default you're locked in setup mode until it's finished - you can't use home button to escape it, you can't access settings, etc. If you remove GApps there's no Setup Wizard so your phone will stay in setup mode and you need to end it manually. Like I said before, the best way is to use init.d script. Use Notepad to create new file, copy the lines I posted last time, save it without any extension, I believe its permissions need to be set to 755 (rwxrxrx). Place the file in
Code:
system/etc/init.d
and that's it.
Alternatively you can use ADB or terminal emulator to execute these commands:
Code:
adb shell (only if you use ADB)
su
settings put global device_provisioned 1
settings put secure user_setup_complete 1
or you can use XDRsetup app I made to do the job (it needs root to work).

@minimale_ldz - Apologies for my late answer. I've been busy. Thanks for your response. It is appreciated what you've done for Peregrine's users and hence for everyone who's willing to ditch GApps from @lost101 builds.
At the moment I'm stuck at a step. I'm on Fedora 25 and I want to remove a whole folder within the system /system/app/MagiskManager/ or whatever the directory is and I can not. Albeit I might delete the superuser and Magisk folders whose location is the very first thing we see as we open the .zip, I can't do the same with folders within the system and I wonder why. The other option is extracting the whole content of the ROM in a new directory and deleting files at my will. Thereafter, I can zip it back. The problem is that I do not know how to zip it back. Do you have any idea of somebody who mod on GNU/Linux?
On the other hand, I saw this apk you passed on to make the init.d script work. The simple steps that popped up on my mind were:
- Factory reset.
- Flash ROM + supersu.zip
How can I put your application within the system folders and ensure it'll work as expected? Another thing that I lack knowledge of is the permissions. How can I give a file or a folder permissions on GNU/Linux? There's nothing else I can think of other than wiping everything, flashing the ROM alongside the supersu.zip and booting up but as you told me, I'd be frozen at the first screen. It's strange for me to get ahead but I'm keen to learn and get ahold from you anytime.

My knowlege of Linux is pretty much none. I'm using Ubuntu for Superr's Kitchen and that's it. I don't know how different Fedora is from Ubuntu, but Ubuntu interface is very similair to Windows, so never had any problems with simple files operations like unpacking, deleting, etc, and there's always Google at hand with tons of tips and help. Extracting the rom.zip is a good first step, but I'd install the Kitchen - it really makes things esier.
BTW - beside Magisk and Superuser folders there are also apps in /system/app that need to go if you're deleting binaries. They will survive factory reset but won't work. AFAIK they are in lost101's only temporarily and he said he'll use Chainfire's SU in next version anyway.
For setting permissions, as mostly Windows user, I have two solutions - you can either set them in TWRP using its file manager or do it in Android (I'm using MiXplorer for that). You just need to root your rom first.
And you won't be frozen at the first screen if you remove all GApps and SetupWizard apks.
I got almost everything working, but I can't access the Phone via USB from my WIN7 Desktop. It works with adb/fastboot but not as MobileDevice, also it is shown in WIN-Eplorer as XT1072. It did work before I flashed this ROM.
Any advice would be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance

"Internal Storage not accessible from PC?
With Marshmallow, the default USB connection type is 'Charging only' mode. You can change USB mode to 'MTP' via the pull-down notification option"
I DID NOT MAKE THIS ROM!!!!!! - A developer by the name of TheKit made this rom, so do not give me any credit for this rom, give it all to them.
I am simply linking it because I love this phone, I love Sailfish OS on it, and I think a lot of people would enjoy Sailfish OS on it as well and just don't know it is available.
Q: "What is Sailfish OS and why should I use it?"
A: Sailfish OS is a great OS for many reasons. Having used multiple android roms I can attest to the fact that:
1. It has MUCH better battery life (however it has a weird battery read bug, see issues below)
2. It is MUCH faster and generally more stable when it comes to the things that work (your calls won't drop, your system won't lock up due to lack of ram, etc.)
3. It has a great gesture driven UI that is a joy to use and very gorgeous to look at. No more of this all white bull**** Google has been forcing down our throats since 2014
Q: "How good is the battery life?
A: After a day of playing cave story at work and reading discord and listening to music, I am at about 30-40% end of day (I start at 8:30AM, stop at 4:00PM)
Okay now that the Q/A segment is over, lets get to the real meat
ISSUES
1. Battery Read is wonky, it only goes in 10% increments until it reaches 20%, then it starts going in 5% increments
2. If you use the 2.1.3.7 build keyboard backlight is broken, but it works fine on the 2.1.0.11 build
3. Bluetooth is wonky, I was able to play audio through speakers in the 2.1.3.7 build...
4. FM Radio is broken too
5. As the maemo-talk thread says, CDMA is untested, and like on Photon Q, most likely does not work. GSM works great though! :good:
6. The old 2.1.0.11 build has a slew of issues compared to the new 2.1.3.7 build. These include data not working out of box, wifi requiring a reboot to work, and auto rotation not working in a majority of apps by default. Consult this thread and the maemo talk thread for more help, and if you want rotation anywhere, install patchmanager 2.0 and auto rotate anywhere from warehouse for sailfish os.
Alien Dalvik install tutorial
I did not make this and do not know who did. the developer claims someone threw a brick at them with an sd card attached. The sdcard contained links to these files in the form of a text file names "monkeyAIDS.txt"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mS6di1jYfVeDoFBjcANS6SmfkhGyEKoa/view - AD Jolla C (different from the Turing phone rpm, this is built for 3.1.x kernels)
http://sfos.scanf.su/maserati/alien-patched.tar.gz
So extract both files to your ~/ (home) directory and type in the following:
devel-su
[insert root password you set in settings]
zypper in [alien dalvik rpm]
rsync -a /home/nemo/alien/ /opt/alien/
ln -s /vendor /opt/alien/system/vendor
reboot
OPTIONAL: fix for the default 320PPI value
devel-su
[insert root password]
vim /opt/alien/system/build.prop
change ro.sf.lcd.density to the value of your choosing (Droid 4 is 256)
Keyboard Backlight Fix, works on 2.1.0.11, don't know about 2.1.3.7 -- Thank you @moodroid for this legendary patch!
On <2.1.3.7, I got the keyboard backlight to work by creating an /etc/mce/20backlight.ini with:
[KeyPad]
BrightnessDirectory=/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight
Then do 'pkcon install mce' and 'systemctl restart mce'.
Download Links
Here is the thread with the Download Link to the 2.1.0.11 build
https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=99031&page=9
If you don't mind a lack of keyboard backlight and want a more up to date build, grab the new and fabulous leaked 2.1.3.7 Build:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k3MOCrMvbFb114Omf0MzSvnQ7wBkTiWH/view?usp=sharing
Basically if you are fed up with how ****ty the latest Lineage OS builds are and just want to try something new, give this a try. Why not? What have you got to lose. All in all great work by TheKit and I am very happy with the port as it is and I think you will be too.
Hi,
On <2.1.3.7, I got the keyboard backlight to work by creating an /etc/mce/20backlight.ini with:
[KeyPad]
BrightnessDirectory=/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight
Then doing 'pkcon install mce' and 'systemctl restart mce'.
Hope you get the OK to share your AD success!
Thanks

dude you are a legend!
I would add that to the OP but you are first comment so anyone viewing the op will see this. I will definitely tell TheKit about this (then again, he gave you the 2.1.3.7 build so you can just tell them yourself)
Greetings,
I've been playing around with SailfishOS on my Droid 4 in the past few days, and I have a few questions about the whole thing. TheKit publicly shared a 2.1.3.7 build for the Droid 4 on his thread at Maemo, is that the one you are talking about or is it a different build? As someone mentioned this specific build seems to have issues with wifi, and I have the same problem. I can't post links, but the download link to the build I mentioned is on page 12.
The 2.1.0.11 build seems to work fairly well, however I wasn't able to install Alien Dalvik. After the installation the "Android Support" button does show up in the settings app, however nothing happens when I click the start button. I also attempted installing an apk both via the GUI (by clicking on it in the downloads) and via the command line by using "apkd-install", but it doesn't seem to work. Full log of the installation process attached.
I talked with TheKit, and the 2.1.3.7 build I mentioned (the one at page 12) is indeed outdated. He just updated the OP at Maemo and added the latest 2.1.3.7 build, which I just flashed and it's working great. Also installed Alien Dalvik following the instructions in the OP and it seems to be working fine as well! However I wasn't successful with the backlight fix method yet.
For anyone wondering how I flashed the latest build I went CM11 --> SailfishOS 2.1.0.11 --> SailfishOS 2.1.3.7 (rel2).

Hi Nikkos,
Sorry - that was me that posted the backlight fix, and I agree that it doesn't work on 2.1.3.7-rel2. It'd worked on every other version I tried, and I've now edited my post above. Glad everything is working.
Sorry again

No worries.
If anyone is wondering how to change the SailfishOS UI scale (I find the default one to be way too big) here's how I did it via the terminal:
Code:
devel-su
rm /etc/dconf/db/vendor.d/locks/silica-configs.txt
dconf write /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio value
I believe the default value should be around 1.1; you can also reset the value to stock with:
Code:
dconf reset /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio
or read the value with:
Code:
dconf read /desktop/sailfish/silica/theme_pixel_ratio
Not exactly droid 4 related, but thought I'd share.
Okay, I got the backlight to turn on!
Type the following in the terminal:
Code:
devel-su
echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness
It seems to properly react to some triggers like standby after being turned on but not to others like sliding the keyboard in and out (which means it will always stay on if the screen is on, regardless if it's been slided in or out). My assumption is that the keyboard sliding trigger got broken in some way, as I believe that's the way the backlight is being turned on. The events which trigger the backlight seem to be stored in the file /sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/trigger, so I assume that would be a good starting point to attempt fixing this.
The keyboard backlight intensity can also be changed, just change the 255 to a different value (it goes from 0 to 255).
Note: this change is not permanent, it will need to be applied again at reboot. Writing a script which executes the above commands at boot should be trivial though, and I will include instructions when I get it done myself.
EDIT:
Here's how to make the change permanent. Following these instructions you will create a Systemd service which will turn the backlight on when active and off when inactive; it will automatically run at boot and it can also be controlled like any other Systemd service (i.e. using systemctl via the terminal)
Type the following commands through the terminal:
Code:
devel-su
cd /etc/systemd/system
touch keyboard-backlight.service
chmod 744 keyboard-backlight.service
You will now need to edit the keyboard-backlight.service file with a text editor (either vim or nano will do, vim comes preinstalled, nano does not). Depending on your preferred text editor, type the following:
Code:
vim keyboard-backlight.service
or
Code:
nano keyboard-backlight.service
Now write the following to the file and save it:
Code:
[Unit]
Description=XT894 keyboard backlight service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "echo 255 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness"
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "echo 0 >/sys/class/leds/keyboard-backlight/brightness"
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now type the following to enable the service:
Code:
systemctl enable keyboard-backlight.service
That's it. You can now control the service by using the following:
Code:
systemctl start keyboard-backlight //This will turn the backlight on
systemctl stop keyboard-backlight //This will turn the backlight off
systemctl status keyboard-backlight //This will display the service status
Can anyone share the google drive file from the first post? Is there an alternative link available? Or could you PM me a google drive link? Thanks!
Can anyone suggest the best/correct ROM-slot size for TWRP?
Is it still like for CM/LOS:
800MB for system
10MB for cache
and rest for data as one likes?
