[ROM] Update (7/23/12) Tweaked Stock BETA 5.0 (3G Only) | Stock ICS | AROMA

(7/23/12) Tweaked Stock for GT-P6800 Version 5.0
This is the BETA release of my tweaked stock ROM, based off of the new XXLQ1 Firmware. It uses AROMA to install the ROM and gives the user quite a bit of choice as to what apps to install. There are also some choices for mods and fonts, but these are limited ATM. I HAVE NOT tested all of the AROMA options in terms of apps and fonts, but there is nothing that will break anything....
This is a BETA release, so please don't flash unless you are willing to accept the risk of some bugs....no screenshots test, as it is stock...
Features
- Based on Official Firmware XXLQ1 (ATO);
- Deodexed,
- Zipaligned,
- AROMA 2.0 Installer;
- Stock kernel,
- Init.d support;
-Removed CPU rendering, full GPU rendering;
- init.d scripts include: RAM management and VM tweaks, zipalign, flash memory performance and more,
- build.prop tweaks for improved screen responsiveness, keeping home app in memory, etc.,
- Most widgets and icons removed from homescreen to make it cleaner and easier to customize (see screenshot),
- Optimized pngs and smali/xml launcher/framework tweaks for a smoother TW experience,
- See change log, in post #2...
Coming Very Soon
- Advanced/extended power menu (debugging now...)
Known Issues
-Homescreen is a bit messy when you first boot, depending on what you install via AROMA.... In the final, I will have all widgets, removed and app shortcuts aligned, so you have a clean slate.
- You tell me....
INSTALLATION
1. Make a Nandroid backup of your current ROM,
2. Download the flashable .zip file you want below,
3. Reboot into clockwork mod recovery,
4. You must flash the XXLQ1 ICS firmware via ODIN/Heimdall before flashing this ROM! Also, a data wipe is strongly recommended before flashing Thanks.
5. Flash the ROM zip in recovery, following the prompts in the AROMA installer (NOTE: on the custom install menu you need to use the volume keys to scroll up and down, working on this...),
6. Let it boot up and then go through the setup wizard,
7. Let the widgets load up and things settle, sync., etc.,
8. Enjoy, and please post bugs in the thread, if any ( "XDA App keeps force closing" is NOT a bug....).
9. If you like the ROM, please hit the thanks button....!
DOWNLOAD

Samsung Apps
http://d-h.st/mSz
PLEASE NOTE:
This ROM will flash the modem.bin from the ATO firmware. This should not be an issue for users, but I just want you to know...I have it in there for beta testing purposes, and will remove in future releases...
If you use tegrak or some other over-clocking app, or if you restore data with Titanium Backup, please do not post bugs you may have when using those programs. The same goes for restoring system data via Titanium Backup. I cannot debug issues arising from their use.
Thanks/Credits
lowtraxx for helping me with the broken fonts issue...
More to come...
WARNING/DISCLAIMER
As with all custom ROMs, you flash the ROM and any other items linked to in this post or the remainder of this thread at your own risk. I cannot and will not be held responsible for anything that may happen to your phone, others or you as a result of flashing this ROM.

Change Log
Version 3.0--->Version 5.0
[*Initial Release of ICS Version
Version 2.0--->Version 3.0
Went back to XXLA4 base, completely rebuilt, with all apks optimized;
Removed CPU rendering, full GPU rendering;
Added some init.d tweaks to increase ext4 I/O speed,
revamped RAM, priorities, handler and vm tweaks;
incrased sdcard readahead to 2048,
added modded stock launcher from 10.1 that has also been optimized (still not as smooth as TW launcher, IMHO), with smali code altered to work with sqlite version in the firmware;
added back memo and a couple of other apps (Kies, etc.) to lite base;
Other dorky stuff I am sure I forgot...
Final v 1-->version 2.0
Completely rebuilt from newest official firmware DXBL3;
Only one version available (should work over all firmware, but see "Please Note" in OP). This is a "Lite Version";
Made Samsung App flashable zip available for those who want full ROM;
Working HideBar App;
Increased free memory in supercharger script;
Removed TCP tweaks from build.prop;
Redid allanimations in framework and launcher to increase speed/smoothness and reduce lag;
Probably a lot more I forgot...
RC3-->Final
De-symlinked system/app and data/app_s;
Added noatime flash memory tweaks;
added drop caches script to (hopefully) reduce lag in homescreen;
Messed with the animations a bit to speed them up;
More optimizations of Samsung TW apks to at least make them work better (wish I could get rid of them...);
Minor speed and battery tweaks;
More I am sure I forgot...
RC2-->RC3
Changed kernel flash method to improve (hopefully solve) problems with flashing onto some stock firmware;
Fixed app drawer background;
removed some init.d scripts I felt were extraneous;
Speed tweaks (let me know)...
RC1-->RC2
Fixed issue in kernel flash that (I hope) was preventing some users phone to force close/bootloop on startup;
Fixed issues with some apps and games crashing (again,..);
Symlinked /system/app/ to /data/app/ to offload some data on the system partition;
Moved some apps to /data/app so they can be uninstalled;
Adjusted the RAM script settings to be less aggressive, but hopefully just as effective;
tweaked VM settings;
removed some init.d scripts I felt were not adding all that much (make things simpler);
further tinkering with framework to smooth out TW interface. I find that the only noticeable lag now is after closing out a program, there is a fraction of a secon of lag when switching home screens. I hope to remove this by the final release...

Removed Apps & Extras
List of Removed Apps
Again, these can be re-added with the "SamsungApps.zip" in the OP,a will be an option in AROMA next version...
Kies
MobilePrint
Samsung Apps

This will be great
Thanks button for you even I had not yet flash it

Thanks Steve . Been waiting for this

Downloading ...

I will be testing this but I need a copy of a DXLA2 modem to make my own testing consistent vs a purely stock ROM, I dont want the modem file to cause excessive battery drains or what not, I have the single DXLA2 tar file for my P6800 inside it has a file labelled modem.bin can i safely flash that using Odin after I flash to this custom rom ?

Flashed. Smooth and bug-free so far - definitely a step up from the stock. A big thumbs up for the OP
Am eagerly waiting for theme tweaks in particular to the taskbar.

Link is down.

Hi,
Just wondering if you are you planning to do a wifi only (6180) version. There seems to be a lack of love for the non GSM Radio 7.7's out there with not a single rom in the forum.
Thanks a lot.

I think someone is working on one (well, I know he is, but not sure what his plans are for release). I will ask him what's up and then port this ROM if he is not planning on releasing it. It would be better, clearly if someone with the device were to release a ROM for it...
Steve

New DL Link
BTW, I am uploading the ROM to a new site now, PLEASE do not post mirror links of the ROM, as I like to keep track of its traffic...thanks! It will be back up shortly...
Steve

very nice rom, 10x better then stock (hk version) thank you!! Even TW looks lagless.

I got the 6810 first had it a week. Sent it back for 80 dollars more. I decided to get 3g version. Just to have 3g and phone option. I also remember development on orginal tab was most for the 3g version. My advice spend the extra doe.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA Premium HD app

finally got around to releasing it bro. lol. nice. good job!

Thank you for the effort. I tried this ROM with a factory reset. I get an FC on android.phone as soon as it boots, and that causes a reboot. I tried to reflash but it did not work. I am using the 3g international version from Dubai.

I flashed it last night on a 3G 16Gb and performance is noticably better. However one bug - when playing Reckless Racing 2 the game continually pauses itself. It's not dirt on the screen causing it and a reboot didnt help. It doesnt seem to impact any other apps.
Can someone else running this rom please test on Reckless Racing 2? It happens a few times per race.

Hmmm...try wiping everything, data/factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache, battery stats, etc. The script should do this for you, but maybe something went awry...
If that doesn't work, try redownloading the zip. Finally, PM me, and we can see if we can sort it out...

So the game is actually pausing itself or freezing up. Sorry, just want to be clear. I can run a logcat on this one...as long as the game looks fun.....

Disclaimer: Flash this ROM and its mods/tweaks at your own risk. However unlikely, YOU are solely responsible for any potential damage to your device or data. Do not flash unless you know what you are doing, are capable of reading, following instructions and using ADB or Odin to help recovery of a soft brick.
1. Require a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP (suggest TWRP to prevent/reduce Aroma freezing during install - refer post #3)

* As released by Samsung for SE Asia http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41319345&postcount=458
* Will more language support be added? NO, I am not a translator, and only if the newer base released by Samsung natively supports it !
Titanium Backup problems? :

ROM Bugs - Not firmware bugs !! :
* Wait and see.........
Will flashing this ROM wipe my data? :
* NO it won't wipe your data, but data wipe is a requirement in Aroma to ensure a bug free device. Just backup data and nandroid first.
* Installer will auto wipe : system, cache, dalvik-cache & preload
* If updating from a different ROM or android build/version, it is a requirement that you follow the installation instructions fully in Post #2 and read the notes below it!
* If after flash & boot you have some unused "green android shortcuts" on your home screens, just delete them. This means that you didn't do the requested data wipe did you:? Give yourself a slap !
Entropy Lag "Fix" :
* I created the script sourced from info here
* No need for using Seeder app and less overhead
* To check it's working :
Run android terminal emulator app
su
entro
You should see a figure around 3600 (possibly more), meaning it's working
Video & HDMI out :
* HDMI out to external display works as released by Samsung
* Natively, not all video codecs are compatible through stock video player. You may need to install a codec supported video player app from Google Play. Try without the ARMv7 add-on first
Battery Life & Performance :
* Give the ROM time to build its caches and “bed in” etc.
* Battery % reporting may need to be re-calibrated
1. Use your device to NEAR zero % (ie. 2%)
2. Fully recharge uninterrupted
3. Unplug when 100%
* Actual drain really depends on your own configuration, and has nothing to do with this ROM.
Some Tips :
* Lower screen brightness and time-out
* Check apps running in background, unneeded auto-starting apps, auto-sync, GPS, wifi, rogue apps etc
BetterBatteryStats is a good app for checking wakelocks.
* Remove or freeze unwanted System apps (bloatware), disable animations (you will lose CRT off animation until re-enabled), motion etc
Mods & Apps :
* I have not seen or measured any negative impact to ROM performance or stability on my P6810 model (or reported by P6800 User during test phase), so any potential improvement (no matter how slight), is still an improvement.
* Any in-depth discussion is to be addressed in the respected threads, links are in found in the Credits & OP
AGPS :
1. Open internet connection
2. Use "GPS Status" app (menu/tools/manage agps state/download) and then wait for first fix.
3. ++ After that, subsequent fixes should be much faster ++
4. Try and see how location locks in Maps
.

Thanks for your kind words. I'm really just an experienced user who turned his hand to cooking. There are real Devs such as daniel doing an excellent job also.
I'm just hoping it installs >> boots >> everything installs/works as it should. I played around with the aroma config and updater-scripts, so high risk for error. Also, a lot of optional apps are symlinked to the preload partition. From there, the plan is to move on to further mods. Most will most likely be a flashable patch (until working), and then integrate into the next release.
Step-by-step.

*Data removal flashable zip in second post. This can be used if you want to come from stock to this ROM. Flash full ROM first, then flash data removal. This will remove the updated Asus apps from the stock build, but will not wipe the rest of your data partition.
*This will not delete data or user installed apps. This will wipe /system so as to remove all the bloat, even if coming from stock doing an upgrade.

Remove Asus apps from Data:
Note: This is if you are coming from stock and have updated your apps.
If you clean flash (wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik) then you do not need this. This is if you're coming from stock and don't want to wipe everything out (keep your apps that you downloaded, etc). I still suggest a full, clean wipe.
Upon updating from the Play Store, the Asus apps are in /data/app, so just flashing SuperZen does not get rid of them.
This flashable zip will remove the same Asus apps from /data/app that are removed in the main ROM. This will not remove anything from system. It only cleans the data portion. *This does not remove Kindle, since people might actually use that.

Nice, I'm gonna flash this now. Thanks for your work.

what's the ram usage like? when i boot i have just under 1 gig, and after some usage it drops to 300mb roughly, on stock.

Should be less than stock. I removed ~50 apps from the phone.
Didn't add in anything that would eat up RAM or space.

It's a pity i took all that stuff off already but looking forward to the updates
Nice work mate

Please let me know if I missed anything that you personally removed. I'm still going to be tweaking it for quite a while. :highfive:

Do you think it's safe to remove update system app from system
I doubt very much I'd be using ota updates anyway

You.. Are... The.... Man

Amazing job man! Thank you very much!

I know this is for the 551, but still tested on my 550 and it did not work even tried to replace the boot.img from the backup I made before, but still not booting =( oh well, had to try restoring the full backup now...
Keep up the great work and if possible to the same for a 550 ROM
Thanks all

Awesome! Thank you!
I wonder if battery life and performance will increase? Flashing tonight.

Just took out system update from system apps
Then tried checking for update seems to check but doesn't come back with anything so all good so far

I'll download the full 550 ROM and see if I can get it working. Shouldn't be much different at all. I don't have a 550 to test with, but the scripts should all be the same, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I'll let you know when I have something worth testing. :good:

That would be awesome, let me know and I'll test it ASAP.
Thank you =)

small doubt,u removed fmservice..but dont the fm need that?? if needed then please add a flashable of it as addon ...

Updated to the most recent OTA, got rooted, got my bootloader unlocked, and got TWRP installed. Getting ready to put this on next. Exciting that there is custom development for ZenFone2 Now!

please dont remove FM radio. many ppl still listen to radio in other countries.

Yes.

Those using this ROM I'm working on a small update to
1. Enable init.d (done)
2. Get Viper4Android working with SELINUX set to enforcing. It works but setting it up is hit and miss so i'm holding off till I can get it working without issue. Once its set up it works without issue tho.

Thanks.
I using for 4 days and runs great not bugs.
I hope can you update soon thank you very much

I've enabled init.d but getting Viper4android to run on enforcing SELINUX is the tricky part. It'll work sometimes and sometimes it won't so I've not made an update yet. Other things I've done is enable Advanced Reboot, added Samsung Music Player, debloated a bit more and switched the launcher to the s7 one and added in some build.prop tweaks. Hopefully you'll see a weekend update.

For G530H?????????????

That's probably a Magisk bug backing up stock boot images. I just added the official zip to my aroma setup. I'll try to update it to the latest beta as soon as I finish updating the base
I don't have that problem tho..

No.

By the way don't deodex the ROM because it will slow down things.
You already said that you want this ROM to be clean right ? so no themes, no modifications. Because I love like this to.
Odexed ROM is better for speed so please just leave it odexed and do your other things without deodexing it.

Okk before downloading view this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...s/enable-hidden-csc-features-a520f-n-t3704161
Or search for hidden csc features in A5
Also search a simple debloat script and you can have all these features on latest patch( latest firmware )

I'll update to latest firmware. The post that you linked is credited in the OP and it's not at it is.
The simple debloat script breaks samsung cloud, samsung gear devices functionality, etc.. and also breaks other stuff that leads to insane battery drain (it would only last one day).
If it was so easy and so great I wouldn't bother.

No.

Did anybody compare this ROM to the Elite Stock ROM down in this board?
The zip is certainly smaller, about 300mb.
Im starting to have some stability issues with elite stock ROM.
One has to be careful debloating a stock ROM, Samsungs setup is complicated and some things could brake.

I did and that was the one I was using before I decided to make a improved one.
You will notice a big improvement in battery life.. more features and all broken stuff from debloating fixed.. like galaxy apps.. gear and cloud
You can also wait for the weekend as I will update the base to latest.
