First of all, I would like to thank to nprussell for working in our first custom rom, and I think many developers will appear to work in this phone..... So, i would like to know: what do we expect for a rom?
I say that because I had the phone i5800 and the most of the custom rom really are a **** (except destiny). Or are inestebable or have a lot of innecesary launchers and apk that we can install whithout using a rom (if we are installing a rom, we have to know how to put a launcher in the phone, isn't?)....And finally the benchmark with rom is almost the same benchmark than the phone with the original firmware.
The most of the developers for that phone are worried for the aesthetics instead performance.
So, asking the question, I would like a rom:
-fix the gps problem (whitout using agps)
-fix the wifi problem (sometimes we have to reboot the modem)
-increase performance of the software (cpu, i/o, 2d)
-rooted
-optimize battery life
-add to the power menu the option of rebooting-recovery-downloading mode
-keep the original apk and the original launcher(if we don't like an apk or launcher, we can remove it)
The launchers or apk, for me, are innecesary. If I like some launcher, I put it.
If I had a smartphone I would have the same expectations

I've tried a lot of the available ROMs (including the new JB ones), but this combination is just awesome:
Firmware MediaPad ICS 4.0.3 HWMOD C232B005
[KERNEL][AOSP][ICS 4.0.3][09/12/12] Mediapad EX (Don't flash modules)
New Qualcomm JellyBean Driver / Libraries
lagfree Governor
Overclock to 1,67 GHz
I'm pretty sure that the new Qualcomm Drivers tip the scales. Overall this combination gives you a fully working and outstanding smooth mediapad.
Have fun and press the thanks button if this helped you.

Amazing testing, I am now on after_silence's CM10. Would the JB drivers with the same adb commands work with his CM10? Only thing not really working is the wifi MAC thing on that rom.
I'm pretty sure that the cm10 Rom already contains the new drivers. I believe I've read that flashing these files won't work with cm based Roms (maybe look at thread where the driver download is located).
Gesendet von meinem LT18i mit Tapatalk 2
Normally I have no problem with ADB, but for some reason I am unable to push the system files for the JB Adreno Drivers. I've attached a screenshot of my command window, but basically it's saying the file doesn't exist or I don't have permissions. I tried moving the file to a drive that wasn't hosting my Win8 OS, and ran the command with the new local file location but I got the same error.
I also tried to use Root Explorer and ES File Explorer to simply copy the files, but Root Explorer causes a hot reboot, and ES FIle Explorer freezes the tablet completely.
I've rooted a ton of devices in my day including that P.O.S. Notion Ink Adam, but this Huawei tablet is turning out to be a whole different beast in and of itself.
Any ideas on what to do now?
EDIT/UPDATE: took out the " / " after local system folder in adb command and all is golden.
I highly advice against flashing the Jellybean Adreno libraries on a ICS flavored ROM!
I've tried it and now the screen remains black. ADB works fine still though, so I can restore things to the way they were.
Still... stay away from mixing Jellybean flavored stuff into ICS!

Do you have flashed exactly the files contained in the linked zip using adb push? Don't push the complete set from the qualcomm site.

I'm using CM10 ,I flashed whole of them then reboot,after that it couldn't display anythings,so I must restored system back.

h25p did say that very likely CM10 would already have the JB fixes, so perhaps the adb pushed driver is borking the one in CM10? If you are successful again I will try.

When I tried to do that with Root Explorer, it froze my tablet completely. And ES File Explorer (with root activated) caused my tablet to hot reboot every time I tried. ADB is going to be your only route I believe.

Install HiSuite for the proper ADB drivers. It's one of the programs on the "Disc" drive that mounts when you plug the tablet into the computer.
the combination is awesome
but after i use this combination, I have no front camera. The problem is that image need it for Skype video chat.
can somebody tell me what's wrong?

Stock Galaxy S4 Firmware Build JDQ39.I545VRUAMDK
This is the Stock Verizon Firmware which comes stock with the Verizon Galaxy S4
except I ripped the heck out of it to lighten the load on our internal storage.
The following ROM Includes:
Rooted with SuperSU
DeOdexed
Build Prop Tweaks (WIFI Scan Interval Changes, etc.)
Removed all Languages Except English & Spanish (no I'm not a racist!)
Removed all Support and Tutorial Videos
Added a Few Custom Ringtones (for fun)
Removed Various Files which were linked to the Bloat and not used by system
This is only the start of a new project that I plan on pursuing. I know I have not

business and I had to take care of responsibilities first.. Now that I have some
time on my hands, and a Galaxy S4 on my belt, bring on the fun!

How does this free up internal storage? I thought I internal storage was hard coded into the partition? Does this repartition?
Does this have proper mtp functionality? The S4 stock rom's MTP support was lacking... I.E. my mac didn't mount it. It see's the device.
I'm on PA atm and it also doesn't work there. I'm contemplating giving the device back, I had the same issue on my S3 and this just makes it unbearable.

Seems to work ok on my 7 machine. Wish it would default to mtp instead of installer mode, but it works, and it supports usb3 so it's nice and fast. I assume you don't dual boot?

It took me a few tries but I finally have it downloading. When you click on the link in OP try searching by device, the S4 is on like page 11. There is a list of devs for it there somewhere and mycomputerdoctor is the one at the bottom. Click on the link for his rom and wait, it should come up eventually.
Got it. Link seems to be dead to get the ROM.

Can you just flash it with Odin? Or do you need to have LOKI recovery installed?
Also can you got back to original stock after installing?

I should have been more clear. What I meant was the zip file on your internal sd card prior to flash is smaller. I dont have and extended Micro SD card yet so my Space once I do a backup is very limited.

This might sound stupid, but I was having issues myself using a USB cable other than the one that they gave new in the box. My only thoughts are, being that its USB 3.0, some of the cheaper knock off USB cables I have, must not be able to send enough power for the device.

Just download another stock and dump the APKs you want into the /system/apps/ directory.
BTW, I don't know what happened after I went to bed but the download links seem to be fine now, sorry for any issues.
I've never created a rom install with Aroma, but would it be difficult to set up an installer to permit the selection of certain items some may not consider "bloat"? I can always backup all the system apps, and then restore whatever I want, but it may make things a bit easier. Thanks for this btw, downloading now!
Hi Guys,
I have Superuser app installed and working.
I am wondering if it is possible to pick a Lockscreen app apk from a Custom Rom and replace it in my phone (Copy+Paste).
Will it work as easily like eating a butter ?

It can work, but I think it wouldn't because of different frameworks. Just use a custom rom for your device that offers the style you like or simply try go locker or similar apps from playstore

No, the framework is for the "look" of your phone and some basic things. For example there's the sony framework and the stock android framework and that's for example the reason why you can't use some stock sony system apps (or the home.apk) on cyanogenmod
System apps cannot be installed by regular method, because they do not include any signatures (apk files are not signed), thereby Android refuses to install due to security reasons.

XPrivacy: based on xposed framework simply to install (but some fail)
Pdroid 2.0: great app and patch but more difficult to install (build from sauce)
Openpdroid: simply create patch with auto-patcher or with source. I think is the best solution.

The masterquestion i think is:
is xprivacy able to inject the system so deeply or deeply enough to secure the system as good as pdroid
with the direct patch method in rom
So maybe an developer could bring some light into this ( unknowing) darkness..
