Modaco Custom ROM

I'm still doing stock rooted with the tablet mode patch. Been watching that CleanRom thread and thinking about checking it out. Stock has kept me pretty happy though.

With regards to the tablet mode patch, is that just setting the DPI to 160?

4.2.1 Update with CWM!

I haven't seen anybody mention this, so ignore me if this is common knowledge. I was on my stock 4.2 rooted ROM with CWM recovery and I got the 4.2.1 system update. Attempted it with CWM... And it worked. But not only did it work, after I choose reboot phone, CWM warned me that the ROM I just installed might try to flash stock recovery, and asked if I'd like to fix it. It then warned that I might lose root, again asking if I'd like to fix it. So now I'm on 4.2.1. Through system update. Kept CWM and root. Awesome!

this is interesting I didn't know it did this at all.. wonder if TWRP does a similar thing then?

It works...
Can confirm I flashed through CWM, rooted and on Stock 4.2
CWM warns of the stock ROM flashing stock recovery and also of possibly losing root'n'toot

9.30.1 Kernel and Radio Flashable zip

The title says it all. If you want the latest radio and 4.1.2 kernel without the bloated ass no root OTA... Flash this...9.30.1 Kernel & Radio
THIS IS FOR UNLOCKED PHONES ONLY!!!
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK YOUR ****!!!

What version # is the new radio?

I was wondering that also. I think that's the correct number, so maybe they do something weird with the versioning?

Moto's versioning sometimes makes no sense at all... The kernel is definitely newer as per its build date. I pulled both kernel and radio directly from the 9.30.1 OTA

Can anyone post just the radio in flashable form ? Just want to put it on the 4.4 ROM. Tx

Correct me if I'm wrong... wouldn't this kernel only be for stock based ROMS as AOSP ROMS use a custom kernel?

i really need this file. any help? would really appreciate it . thanks

I have to sign up that web site to grab that radio and kernal? And are you saying even if I didn't rsd back to stock and update to kk I can just get those two files and it will be the same? I can just leave root as where I an now and upgrade my ROM with the latest 3.4kernal tweaks that the devs have started? Thanks

Back To Dalvik From Art (Flashable Zip)

added e2fck of userdata thanks to @myfluxi, should be better now, I hope
in case anyone needs, here is little flashable zip I made that will revert you from ART to Dalvik from recovery (in case of trouble), at least it should.. tested on mine and it works (i tested on cm, but it should be universal).
http://goo.gl/kJ8rg3
(if on mobile -> request desktop site -> file -> download.. blame Google Drive)
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I am not responsible for anything!
thanks to @fattire for the original post.

Just wondering. Why would you want to go from art to dalvik ? i tought people liked art, i for one love art. First thing i did after getting my n5 was turn it on. I haven't been able to tolerate my i9505 with tw rom since then

Hi,
Because some people want use Xposed stuff (not compatible with ART runtime for now, even if it goes back automatically to Dalvik runtime if you choose ART) and there is still other apps/games not compatible with ART runtime...
And in case of bootloop due to an incompatibility with ART, this flashable zip can be useful.

depends, as I said some of the cm nightlies broke ART so phones would be stuck @ bootloop. yeah, I use ART also, but if your phone doesn't want to boot because of some incompatible change in ROM it is good to have safety net.
Sent from my Nexus 5

Makes sense, thanks . i had actually forgotten about xposed. So i guess thanks for the zip might come in handy

Not a valid reason for it to not work. Art works fine in stock rom. Hence, should also work fine on any ROM imo.

Indeed, I've always had that zip in my phone since the first time CM broke Art.

One question:- if I switch to ART..I've heard that the the sdcard space gets less. So when I switch to dalvik will I be able to get that occupied space back? Or I have to factory reset?

no need to factory reset. and that less space on sdcard is almost unnoticeable (well depends on how many apps you have)..

CMW?

I just got my Verizon S3 mini and I have no ideal how or what to install for recoveries and flashing. I've done a search and the closet I can find is install through ROM manager but I don't see the s3 mini or anything compatible with it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

there is two ways.
1. install odin to your pc and connect your phone for cmw install.
2. on your current recovery. (power+menu+volume up)
go recovery>install zip from sd card.

GT-i8190 and SM-730V are different devices. There are no custom recoveries for SM-730V yet :sly:

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. Sorry if this is a stupid question I'm coming from the Motorola world but without a custom recovery I have no way of flashing a ROM correct?

The bootloader is locked on SM-G730 which means you can't flash anything that is not signed from samsung unless someone comes up with a way to unlock it.
You can still root it and debloat, tweak, run Xposed etc
Official firmware can be found on SamMobile in case you'll need it.
