This is my first Custom Rom guys, so all feedback is appreciated, even if you think it sucks. which you might....
PRESENTING:
BLACKHOLE CUSTOM ROM
*Disclaimer*
I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone, any issues you have with this ROM, or anything in general. This is provided as is and I will do my best to support this, but make no promises. This rom SHOULD WORK on any kernel or flashed over any other custom rom, or even stock, but has not been tested on all. If you flash this without wiping data all of your downloaded apps will still be on the phone, this will only remove the stock apps. If you flash any themes without these enhancements through clockworkmod recovery you will most likely remove the 15 second backlight and power button options, however metamorph themes may or may not remove these enhancements.
*End of disclaimer*
This is a project of mine because even the cleanest custom rom was never clean enough for me. I want my device to be fully customized and this was the best way I saw to do it, so I wanted to share.
This rom has almost nothing built into it. the easiest way to tell you what I removed is actually to tell you what is left...
Remaining apps:
Camera
Gmail
Market
Phone
Settings
Superuser
Task Manager
Voice Search
Swype
LauncherPro
Features:
15 Second softkey backlight
Reboot, Recovery, and Download options in the power button menu
Ultralite rom built for ultimate customization
Thats it. Once you install this as a barebones custom rom, I make it easy to install the apps that you want. I do this so that people like me can have only what they want. All you have to do is create a folder called "apps" (case sensitive) on your sdcard and copy all the .apk files you want installed as System apps into it. Then just unzip the attached folder anywhere, and run the <InstallApps.bat> file inside it.
Due to Facebook, Myspace and Twitter Sync requiring too much extra programs to run properly I will not be supporting it for the current versions of Blackhole. Once our great Devs figure out how to get AOSP running on this phone then you will be able to sync them all with their own downloaded apps, until then, it will not be a feature of this ROM. Sorry if this puts anyone off, but the point of this rom is space, speed, and battery life. SNS is just too bulky to be included.
You can get the app files from other custom roms, by unzipping them and looking in the /system/app directory or just around on the board.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or chat me up in IRC channel #samsung-fascinate on freenode.
If you need any app suggestions to replace the ones missing from this ROM please post and I will reply as soon as I can.
Changelog:
v0.3 - Standard download is Stock Theme, and the Blackmod Enhanced theme is a seperate clockwork zip. I also removed a few extra background apps.
v0.4 - Removed A LOT of background apps, including all DRM apps, and the Media Sync(MTP) mode (because, lets face it, no one who uses a custom rom is going to sync DRM tracks from windows media player)
Do not turn on Google Location Services, it will force close. This doesn't affect your GPS accuracy or lock time.
Removed accessibility aps (Kickback, Talkback, Soundback) they are all available in the market.
v0.4.1 - Added default MMS app back to fix issues with MMS not being delivered.
v0.5 - Removed several more background apps.
v0.6 - Removed even more background apps. My phone is still running fine but please let me know if you have issues. I have added the TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk into my Extra Apps link because it is required to reinstall the calendar properly.
This is still very much a Beta Rom, you may have force close issues, and if you try to access something that has been removed, you WILL get a force close. If there is something removed that you wish was still there i'm sorry, i'm working really hard to get this ready as a base for my Rom Manager Build-Your-Own-Rom idea, and that means removing everything possible. I will be glad to provide app names if something you want isn't working. please reply to this thread with any issues you have and I will try my best to work them out.
Download
Version 0.2

Extra Apps:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B7pPUTbhkF4RZDg1ZjI4ZTMtYTA3My00ZmExLWJkODEtNDUyMWU5MzQyZDU5&hl=en
I take no credit for these, I simply put them all together in an easy to access space, for people not quite savvy enough to pull them from a system dump themselves. The AOSP apps and Stock Deodexed Apps can be installed using the installer method above, the custom apps need to be installed through Clockwork Mod Recovery just like the ROM. If i'm missing something you want added let me know and I will add it to the extra apps link if I can find it.
Thanks:
Jt1134 for script help and the Super Clean rom series that inspired me
Deodexed for the custom boot and shutdown animations
Nintendo and Square-Enix for the boot and shutdown audio
tigers4life and utermensh for their work on the extra power button options
wasupwithuman for the extended softkey backlight mod
stanrc for the BlackmodF metamorph theme
Frost for his help with integrating the mods into the theme
DlongB13 for initial testing
PhoenixPath for frequent testing, troubleshooting, and feedback.
and everyone else who helped me along the way

Does it still have the built in messaging app?
Nice job! However, may I suggest a different name for this ROM? When I see Barebones 0.2 I thought it would be an update to the existing ROM that birdman made, this is pretty different.
it does not. the rom is not meant to be used as is, but to be customized by each person who downloads it. you can download chomp sms or handcent sms from the market, or get the stock messaging app from frostman's deodexed rom or the aosp messaging app from JT's Super Clean .04 rom and install it using the instructions in the first post.

oh yeah, that's what he named his TEST20 kernel isn't it. hmm. any suggestions anyone?
I suggest something like "skeleton" or "minimalist" or just "simple ROM". I like the sound of "Simple Rom" myself.
Clarification
I really like the idea you have. The only suggestion I would make is, for those not savvy enough to dig up system dumps, etc to find the needed .apks, maybe adding a folder called "Apks" to the rom (in which you would find all the stock removed apks), so you just copy/paste into the "sdcard" folder you create. Again, kudos to your idea of a 'build-your-own-rom' rom you have here.

Thank you, I appreciate that. And we are actually somewhat on the same page. this is the first dev work i've ever done and i'm learning as I go. my goal is to have this rom in Rom Manager, with custom download options like some roms have on other phones. for example you pick the Blackhole Rom, then select your version, and then it asks you which launcher you want, then which messaging app, then which contacts app, etc. that way you can choose from a list when you download it, or choose "no thanks" and get a different one yourself.
Not a fan of the theme but thanks!
I will release a stock theme update tomorrow.

love the idea but a bit too bare for me. FC's when opening contacts through phone and no stock mms. maybe ill give it a try when i have time to customize it myself

All of that will be available soon after I get listed on Rom manager. it's much easier that way than trying to post apk files on this topic. If you can't wait that long JT has the stock mms app already in rom manager and the mesmerize contacts app is in a topic on the forums here. it's the same as stock except a few new features.
Sorry, probably a dumb question, but am I correct in assuming that because there's no mention of TouchWiz, you've replaced it with LP?

yes that's correct. A little while after it's up on Rom manager I'll set it up to let you choose between LauncherPro, ADW, and Touchwiz. For starters.
I read over on other GalaxyS phones about DRM services that run in the background that take a decent toll on battery life.. Have you looked into getting them removed to further clean the system up and improve on this cleanliness?

I will certainly try it out. i've been slowly removing an app or 2 every couple of hours to see if it crashes my phone, then if all is good i'll release an update tomorrow. I'll check those out this evening.
Updated changelog available at http://www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3
Update:
Version 1.1 changelog:
Removed lockscreen and bootanimation as a default part of the ROM and added it into options. If you have a bootanimation you would like to be featured in the Blackhole Build Your Own ROM series please let me know.
Added a modification section where you can choose to change which app you are using, or to install additional addons. this will not wipe system, so you can choose only what you want. be aware that if you change apps with different filenames (for example choose ADW under modifications when you had launcherpro before) it will keep both, but if you choose on that's the same file name (for example the mesmerize contacts instead of stock) it will overwrite and you'll only have the one. I hope I have explained this well. I will be updated my scripts over the next few days to delete any other options that are installed so that there won't be any redundancy.
Version 1.2 changelog:
Added back Settingsprovider.apk to fix issue with FC when choosing Airplane Mode
Fixed Options:
Fixed script for Puzzle Lock, actually works now.
Fixed file name for POP/Exchange Email so it will download right
Replaced Stock Desk Clock with Mesmerize Desk Clock so voice search uses Google instead of Bing
New Options:
Added Haters Gonna Hate Bootanimation (no sound, but pretty funny)
Added Hiddenmenu.apk (if you don't know what it is, don't bother checking it)
Added SNS(Facebook Sync). Requires TouchWiz Launcher and Calendar, and one of the Contacts options.
Version 1.3 changelog:
Added Widgetpicker to base rom, faster interface and groups multiple widgets from the same program.
Removed MMS from base rom and added as a customization category.
Modified Build.Prop to allow OTA Update notifications
Version 1.4 changelog:
Added globalsearch.apk to allow searching of data on the device (Please let me know if this still doesn't work)
Added PhoenixPath's GPS fix (again, please let me know if this doesn't help.)

Notes: I will no longer be listing voodoo kernels with blackhole, because with the latest kernel updates by jt and geeknik I don't see them being as necessary as they were before, and for people who use ROM manager, but don't frequent forums like xda and modadroid.com they may not know switching from a voodoo to nonvoodoo kernel can cause issues. You can still download voodoo kernels from JT's section of ROM manager, or on XDA or modadroid.com

haha. well i did stop for dinner. But seriously things will slow down now that i've lept my first hurdle. next step is to find a better hosting solution than dropbox.
the only changes are that I added back lcdtest.apk because without it the screen won't auto shutoff, and the networklocation.apk because it is necessary for gps. also i removed launcherpro since now that it's on ROM Manager you can choose which launcher you want.
I havent had any issues with the lcd not shuting off on .6. Also I dont care about the gps, so I will stick with the .6 version for now.
quick question, do we have to wipe if were coming from 0.5 to 1.0?
Blackmod enhanced seems to be broken. I get a corrupted zip error when downloading.
But the the S in the notification dropdown is cool!
Awesome job.
Loving it.
Need another option or two though. Gallery (Stock or AOSP), Email.apk...(Oh! Evolution font. Can't live without it...)
Also, blackmod download seems to be corrupted. (fixed... go to bed, dammit!)
Car Home is installing instead of ROM manager when ROM Manager is selected... tried it twice. Links might be fubar'd. No ROM Manager apk in /system/apps.
Yaup. Watched the install... It installs mesmerize_carhome.
Loving it so far. Keep it up! (and get some actual work done too )
I'm about to hit the install button. One quick question. I'm coming from the stock Tom running voodoo v2... currently disabled... should I remove it, and do I have to wipe data and cache?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
hmmf i might try this if it actually has gallery and contacts now?
ok so I installed this rom from rom manager and now I can't boot into recovery through the rom manager, nor can I install another rom. anybody got any ideas
Edit, fixed it, wasn't under su
I'm about to give this a try, very excited about freeing up memory and extending the battery life. One question: is it possible to make vcast video work this? I'm one of the weirdos that pays $10/month (for the nfl and the office). I've had trouble with just about every custom rom I've tried.
Thanks for your work!

I just checked this out on Rom Manager and saw how it works (selecting all of the custom elements) and I think it's a fantastic idea, especially if more options are continually added.

Noticed the fc as well. No big, everything still seems to work. As for the gallery, just grab the stock gallery or gallery3d.apk from any of the other roms out there. (download, extract, copy gallery apk file to /system/apps and reboot)

A few items brought up overnight. Due to unforseen demand I maxed out my dropbox daily transfer limit, so i've had to upgrade to their paid service. This costs me $9.99 per month, so I've decided to add a donate link to my sig to try to offset this a little. Please feel free to use this rom or anything I ever do without donating, I'm not trying to make money off of developing, just trying to cover my costs associated with it.
The Gallery should be available in addons now, and i'll be working on vcast video today. I have fixed the issues with the blackmod enhanced theme, mesmerize contacts, and Rom manager and mesmerize car dock options being reversed.

Excellent. I should really start looking into getting my domain back up and running. I would love to host some of these projects... You guys shouldn't have to pay to distribute your work. That's just lame...
Maybe you could re-add the calendarprovider.apk back into your roms. It appears this is needed for calendar apps to sync with google calendar. Keep up the excellent work.

The touchwizcalendarprovider.apk is included with the TouchWiz Calendar option I've just added to ROM Manager addons. If you want to have the file available by itself for use with other calendar programs i'll be glad to add that as well.
I think having the provider.apk by itself would be a good option for those of us who use 3rd party calendars. Thanks.

I have added a calendars section where you can choose between touchwiz calendar (with the app and provider) or 3'rd party support (with just the provider). let me know if this works for you with a third party calendar app please.

I have added a vcast video option to the addons in ROM Manager. try downloading it. it worked for me up to the point where you have to subscribe, and since I don't i couldn't proceed. let me know if it works or not please and I will try to fix it if it doesn't. (you may need to also download the video player from addons, not sure)
Also for those wondering: the usb settings gave you the option of choosing between USB Mass Storage mode and Music Sync Mode. I left the Music Sync Mode out because I figured no one running a custom rom would use it. if i'm wrong it's real easy to add the package as an extra. let me know if any of you want it.
Finally,
The moment all of you have been waiting for. DJ05 has been officially released. Well, by us anyway.

Is it an official update? No. Will it ever see the light of day? Doubt it. Will it void your warranty? Definitely. Is it worth it? Oh hell yes!
You need to be rooted to install this update and have access to clockworkmod. Data wipe is essential. Voodoo needs to be REMOVED PROPERLY prior to installing this update. All parts must be installed, or things will stop working...such as haptic feedback, and sms.
(Mirrors hosted by Captainkrtek)
There are three parts.
Radio:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/adrynalyne/dj05modem.tar
http://backup.galaxysense.com/adrynalyne/dj05modem.tar
This gets flashed via Odin, in the PDA section.
System/rom:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/DJ05_stock.zip
http://backup.galaxysense.com/DJ05_stock.zip
This gets flashed via clockwork.
Kernel:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/1212_test_novoodoo_fascinate
http://backup.galaxysense.com/1212_test_novoodoo_fascinate
This gets flashed via clockwork.
Thats it.
Some notes:
Do not flash anything made for DI01 with Dj05. You are asking for stupid things to happen.
DO flash stuff made for DJ05.
This is not froyo, its 2.1, but a nice bugfix to hold us over.
No warranty given, implied, or anything else. You are on your own!

Aw crap. I think I bricked my phone. While updating through Odin3, my screen turned white & froze. After 30 minutes or so, I got a screen with a picture of a pc, an exclamation point & a cell phone. I'm assuming my computer lost communication with my Fascinate. Am I screwed?
Update: I can get to the download screen. However, Odin gets to the modem.bin file and freezes. Grr!
To begin... make a backup 1st.... not responsible for damages while left in the parking garage.. enjoy the game!
This theme was made with permission of "thebowers". It's his creation. I brought it into GB land for the X2. I don't know if I did everything he did but I can tell you that I have made image edits galore for resizing purposes and to get all the new GB images not yet themed. I have also edited the crap out of a lot of xml's so things should work 100% smoothly out of the box. I have also incorporated some inverted apps which, I had nothing to do with. Credit there goes to thebowers, ecsnead and B-Boy. I also made a few apps myself because once I got going on 0.2.2, I got carried away. Three of those apps incorporate to make the X2's first (that I know of anyway) Fully Functional and fully inverted Dialer. 0.4 had issues so, I started over at 0 and made the entire thing myself this time to make sure it all worked.
Also, I changed the boot animation. It matches the theme oh so well. Credit there goes to Versatile1 because he made it (on droidforums.net).
Before we begin, I will list all the apps I have included. For ease of use, I highly recommend getting rid of any app on the list from your phones data folder first. For example, if you downloaded Facebook from the market, remove it from your data folder. Not saying you HAVE TO, just putting it out there if you run into issues, you know how to fix them.
Also for the market... this one you do HAVE to do... First, verify that you DO NOT have a vending app in \data\app!!!!! If you do this will not install!!! You will need to uninstall updates before flashing... Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>"ALL" tab>Market>Uninstall Updates
Will it break your phone if you don't do that? No, it just won't install a market... at all!
Lastly, I have taken the time to guide every .9.png file in the framework and in every app I touched. What this means to you.... If you want to make other changes, everything will decompile and recompile without error. Of course you need to add the dependencies if your editing systemui or settings but thats a blur thing. Not something I did.
Now.. onto the part anyone actually cares about..
The theme is located at the bottom of the deepest cave, surrounded by guardian flying pigs who crave bacon and eggs.
Ive also included a BNB style Icon Pack because, if you are crafty enough to figure out how to install them, I'm crafy enough to share them It's not a huge list, it just covers the basic ones most people stick on the main homescreen.
You can get that here.. but you have to go through the cave first.
If you see any issues please let me know.
Heres the cool list that got into the party....
Framework
SystemUI
Calculator (everyones favorite)
Contacts (Inverted)
Dialer (Inverted)
Phone (Inverted)
Facebook (Inverted)
Gallery 3D
Gmail (Inverted)
Google Quick Search (Inverted)
Keyboard (Black) .. whichever one is in 0.5.. hard to keep up...lol
Gtalk (Inverted)
Market (Inverted)
Google Voice (Inverted)
Music (Black) ##This is NOT the music app that came with Eclipse and it will erase that one##
Notes:
Music app worked on my phone without skips or pops when multitasking.. hope yours does the same.
Battery icons are stock Eclipse.. 200 images to make from scratch takes time.
Settings (Manage Applications is white BG with Black text).. will fix that when I figure it out.
This theme is basically a complete inversion of stock (with different images too). It is dark. On the D1, it was a bit hard to see but with this glare resistant screen or the display quality or something, its quite easy. Plus is doesnt burn your eyeballs when using the phone in the dark.
The screens are from 0.4.... the unselected tabs in the screens now have black text
SCREENSHOTS
Lastly... if you like what I do.. hit the thanks button please. If you have issues, questions, trouble installing, suggestions for a new app to invert.. POST UP!!
I like it cannibal pigs lmao ;-)
Great update btw hahaha

My phone is stuck on installing update with this zip. I will have to do a battery pull in order to recover. I tried again and same thing this isn't installing properly or even coming close.
I will need some confirmation from someone else to see if they can or cannot instal it. In the meantime, I will reinstall Eclipse 0.5, download the file from the internet like everyone else has to, and, try installing it on my phone. Give me a few for the results.
Yeah I don't know man. Worked fine for me.
Tell me exactly how you are going about installing it. I will troubleshoot it with you.
I have .5 eclipse installed i reboot into recovery and flash zip from sd card it hangs on installing. Everytime I have tried it gives me the same thing. I haven't had any problems with any other themes either.
I installed fine had to dl twice the first was a "bad" zip but the second dl was fine

Ok I can't purchase anything from market replaced the black one with a regular version from xda and still no go not sure if its theme or rom
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
My understanding on that issue is the stock one is jacked up in that way as well. I have heard (but not tried) that there is a .dex file you can install and all will be well. It has something to do with the signature of the app and it not agreeing with Google purchasing market thing whatever it it is.
wdenker.. maybe try downloading the file again like xheavy did. You could have just gotten a bad d/l. I have this on XDA and DF and no ones having the issue. Also, did you try using this theme on 0.4 or 2.2?
Currently updating this theme some more. Nothing has been posted by me yet but.. I have settings now fully inverted no matter what you click on.. i.e. "Manage Applications". I am about 50% done theming Go Launcher, I have the power widget on status away from green and, lastly, (for now anyway), I will be making new battery images.
Also, I plan on pulling all of my apps and redoing their icons to match. If you have request for app shortcut icons, please let me know.
Thanks for the info bro but after searching I haven't been able to find anything. Would you be able to point me in the direction of that .dex file or thread that contains it? Lol I hate the search function on the xda app lol I miss my poor dr pepper soaked laptop lmfao
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I asked about it... heres the info I got from a buddy,,, (the user names mentioned, except for the obvious are on DF)
there's no real fix... the certs files are an issue I think.. even the stock version is giving that error on some roms.. and my market works on most but some roms have the error.. bgill and BIGxie are both trying to figure it out also.. there's a user on XDA rujelus (I think) that has an inverted market also and his zip file worked on one of my roms that hadn't previously but then when I tried his again during testing, it wouldn't work anymore...
Ive themed every market since probably October of 2010. Best I can do is go backwards till one works, if any.. if you want.
Damn didn't even know there was this kind of problem lol its all good man it'll just force me to save money lmao
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Don't feel bad. I didn't either til I started working on an orange theme and went to the market to buy a theme to see what orange would look like. FC and WTF! Checked around, apparently its hit or miss and no one can figure it out. Works on some ROMs, doesnt on others.
update
Was just going to update to v0.5 but I'll wait for your next release since i read your doing alot to it. I hope its not like first one was on my bad phone just kidding my old phone was just messed up read about a guy sending 7 DX2s back
I thought my 4 was bad
#1 Thank you to all devs contributing to modifications for this phone.
I've tested most every Rom, and there's things I like and dislike about each one. So all the good has been thrown together in this legendary thing, an anthology of sorts.
A breath of fresh air, comin atcha.
If this is your first Rom flash, please don't use this, there's a little work into getting it going, but I'll go through it in detail.

What's wrong
-White(ish) text on white in a couple menus
-As with many custom roms, this comes with Nova Launcher. Note- it's nice to have a weather and clock widget. I've included Android Weather in the zip, but it gets deleted with updater script in recovery, because it acts like a 'rogue' app and cpu will run full blast until it's deleted. But, it won't do that if you copy/paste it to /system/app manually. Or, if you'd like Sense, that's included too, more on that later.
How to
-Flash the base Rom
-Let boot, reboot into recovery
-Dirty Flash the Bada$$ Rom right over it
-Boot, WAIT for Reader to import books, then open SuperSU, install binary normally.
-Open SManager, grant su, open settings, Advanced, Configuration, Home Directory- /system/bin. Then navigate to /system/etc. Run Zsysctl.sh as su on boot. Navigate to /system/etc/init.d. Run these as su on boot: 08oomtweaks, 92vac, 99buttered, MoreIOTweaks, sqliteDbs, and zzzz. Before running zzzsqliteDbs, make sure you've had an internet connection so that you have a gservices.db. Run it on boot also.
Sense
If you want Sense Launcher, go into Titanium Backup, Backup/Restore, scroll to bottom and restore Htc Sense(app only, restore data later if you want). Then flash Sense zip provided.
Downloads
I might add Sprint stuff later

-FYI, starting Kernel Tuner app will mount /sys/kernel/debug
-If ya use Android Firewall, media server needs internet for YouTube to work. And when using DroidVpn, the kernel needs internet perm's along with 'all apps running as root'
-If using Sense, whichever apps are put in dock will be on the lockscreen. With Nova launcher, Lockscreen Shortcuts app is used to set them.
-If having tether or 3g problems, go into CrossBreeder app and disable Bypass ISP. If getting network error with YouTube, disable dnsmasq.
-Quietly Brilliant ringtone is in tribute to Negalite
-Let me know if you don't like the battery icons, and I'll pm ya a fix
-Navigation bar can be activated in ReliveSOL module, double tap status bar to sleep and long press back to kill applications are also working with that
Glad to see your rom, congrats on getting it together
Thanks for everything @jcfunk, my brother

May I ask what the specs are for this? Android version number?

For users downloading Rom before Jan. 16, please flash this to fix Beats Audio and ringtones/notifications. My apologies
https://db.tt/bIhWWCwq
And if the friggin notification sounds still won't work, go into es file explorer, long press on the sound in the /sdcard/media/audio folder, sub menu appears, hit 'more', press 'compress'. Delete original sound. Then long press on the zip file that it makes, press 'more' again, press 'extract', hit 'current path', delete the zip, and now the sound will show in sound picker. When flashed to sd, the id3 tags are screwed up for some reason....? This generic method creates them.
Edit, also I rebuilt the kernel wrong, it was only at 1.35GHz max, and no gpu oc, here is the fix- https://db.tt/vITkrXLP

Any work on adding Sprint?
hi all, this is my thread from a long time ago, so if you've subscribed, you're in luck! since the coromavirus hit, and even longer, I've been working on putting together the ultimate package for adblocking, tracker crushing, just, a pure web experience where your device isn't downloading garbage that eats up data, especially useful for 4g/5g connections!
Way back in 2013 I rooted my first device, the Evo 3D. then ensued an almost compulsive urge to use my devices the way I want, from theming (I love dark themed apps) to adblocking. I haven't found an allin-one solution for my adblocking, etc. needs, and so I imagine there's others out there looking for the same. The ultimate one stop shop for android needs. I've found it thru a little app called Adguard. An extremely powerful app, with options to run extensions that further the android experience. Such as video downloaders, which may be considered warez here on XDA. YT dl'ers, vimeo, fb, p*rn, e.g.
Also offered is theming options to websites. One important one you'll find is filterlists.com. I've included filter lists in this package that I've found useful and helpful. I could go on and on about all the features, I'll stick to a select few I'm most excited about. so when you install this, check out how I took a modification, a filter, called DarkFilterLists, n made it better, @ www.filterlists.com/lists Check out reddit n imgur n xda n pinterest n facebook n twitter n YouTube n Google n music streaming sites n video streaming sites and the list goes on. like I said, it's a much cleaner browsing experience! PLEASE! Test my work, n it's not all on me, I've found so much help online plus with tampermonkey's modules this is a kickass mod. but the down side is that it costs. U get 2 weeks free n after that u can pay monthly, yearly, or like $70 last time I checked for a lifetime.
I need help with this, because I can't host it from Dropbox because once it catches on, they would suspend my account for so many downloads, same with the other sites. will someone please help me with this. I'm thinking about asking Adguard because this thing is goina make them $$$$!!!!
Now for the instructions or directions on how to install this. Adguard is in the Play Store. 2 weeks fully featured, during this period, you'll notice a bulge or wetness in your undies. don't worry, it's common. this is a judgement free zone here. so install, go to settings-
General-Import settings.json I supply here. Then settings- Content Blocking- user rules- import adguard_cb_user_filter...then go into your wifi settings and type in the settings in the pics included with my zip file you download.
And you're all set, ENJOY!! Don't thank me for this, thank others involved responsible for Adguard
I will host it from my dropbox til I get help-
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v67i2hrxqgd2rum/ZBadassAdguard3.zip?dl=0
Or try this- https://db.tt/BlQOuyKQGA
you can flash it in recovery, but I don't see the point
please share this with your closest friend(s)

I'll do what I can for ya, I don't understand what happened exactly. You S-off'd n it started bootlooping, is that it? Do you have s-off, if so, flash the eng. H-boot, I never came across a rom it wouldn't boot. Have you tried restoring a backup, I'm familiar with twrp and I can't remember what the touch recovery was called. It's been a long time since I've had this device. I'll check back here, gimme more info on what's going on
