This is Electrify rom, completely deblured, except phone and hdmi features, with added cm7 and other apps and features,
to minimize phone and hdmi issues and maximise usability of the hardware, using lightweight software,
without needs to sync anything, like Blur. Google sync is enough and there are plenty of apps in Google play.
And that all in many languages, which are included in AOSP, but someone took them out.
But still, it's not perfect and never will be.
Made on my own unlocked GSM Photon, but works well on CDMA (Sprint) and Electrify (US Cellular) too.
Locked version also available. But still no 4g!
I am not responsible for any software or hardware damage or not working emergency calling. You don't have to use this.
If I am posting something I should not, tell me and I will delete it. I am just sharing this, because it´s good for me and could be good for someone else.
If anything does not work right after installation, do one more restart please.
Features:
- based on Electrify 2.3.5_USC_19 firmware
- 1.0 GHz stock 2.3.5_254_13 kernel
- fully deblured (no support for anything using blur account and no social apps or widgets or features)

Do not forget to calibrate the battery - it means - install, boot, (maybe reboot), charge 100%, wipe battery stats and /data/battd folder, discharge to 0% without any reboot (but you can use it ofcourse), plug your charger while holding power button to bypass charge only mode, do not unplug your charger or do not reboot, until it is 100% and use it anyhow you like...
Then you can complain about battery. It means, not sooner than 2 days after installation.
This calibration is not needed because of battery (it is lithium battery), but because of not very good Moto power statistics management. Battery can be charged anytime you like, but the phone can show only estimated battery values, based on charging and discharging.
You can use this Battery Fix app for wiping.
Sorry for my English.
ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP FIRST.
YOU CAN USE ANY RECOVERY YOU LIKE.

No problem, you can take it and modify, as you like.
May be you can solve the ussd code issue for us gsm users huh?
You mean unlock gsm for usage with any US provider? I cannot do this.
So can sprint photon users use this. Would we have to flash anything to get sms/mms working? Just want to make sure since I'm on sprint I don't brick the device by flashing ussc rom.
Arabic Language Problem?
Thank u man...
wow... FM radio + video recoding at 1080p.
It's a very good rom except the Arabic words shows in wrong way(disconnected letters)
like in :
ال ع ر ب ي ة
instead of العربية
we need to Enable RTL language ( Arabic, Hebrew and more) support
Could u help in this please.
Thank u again.
I think, there will be no problem with sprint, except maybe mms, you will need to use go sms, but I changed apns, so I don't know.
I am uploading with updated zone info and icu, so it could help with Arabic, if it works well on cm7.

Not sure, what's going on here with us gsm. Don't know, how it works. I just plug in the simcard here in Czech and it connects automatically. But if I start it without simcard after wipe, some activation menu comes out.
ussd codes bug in the baseband. so, now we have no way to use ussd.
---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------
I worked on updating localization several last hours.
The updated apps for this work for Russian people is posted at the bottom of post.
Simply flash in CWM. There was translated a LOT.
http://d-h.st/RBk
First post updated
And I learned, what is ussd code (I have contract with provider, so not using it) and that it was never working on Photon properly.
Reuploading to mediafire.
Dropbox doesn't like excessive traffic. Lol.
Yea fix ussd code pls.. :-(
Really its hard to track our call charges

I've been waiting for this... I've requested many times but no go.
Sometimes I exceed my data usage and can't track my prepaid balance.
OP, u seem to be on GSM.. please try to look into it.
For eg, I need to use *123# or *567# etc
So, I googled something about it and I found, that it's a problem of many world phones, including blackberry.
One solution I found, is using ussd dialer from market.
I didn't find other solution yet. ;-)
still waiting for another working download link.thanks for this nice rom
It is there, 3 hours of upload... omg
Edit: Olegfusion made "reboot" and "recovery" options in power menu, for this rom. I am waiting for his post to add it as another addon.
I have to work on adding reboot and reboot to recovery options in menu on pressing power off button for this 2.3.5 rom. You can combine it with my previous Russian pack, but please be sure you flash attached here zip after russian pack in previous post.
http://d-h.st/1vp
and here is the updated version of Russian pack. I think about 98% translated. Reboot and recovery were integrated into this zip.

CyanogenMod 9 Galaxy 5 Port [psyke83 build]
Latest release: 20120605 [v0.4] <--- learn what "RTFM" means before embarrassing yourself ಠ_ಠ
Latest Google Apps package: gapps-ics-small-20120429 <--- you must only use my custom "gapps-ics-small" package, as the standard releases will be too large to fit on our device. Don't try to use a gingerbread version either.
Hey folks,
This is a port of CyanogenMod 9, a community-developed Android ROM based on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4, for the Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500 (Europa) phone. The current port status is alpha (not recommended for everyday use). See post #2 to see the most up-to-date ROM status.
Special thanks to Motafoca for starting CyanogenMod development, DrMacinyasha for the hosting, OuNao for the fake dual-touch module, sensor work and general assistance, mikereidis (author of Spirit FM Radio app) for helping with FM audio issues, tilal6991 for his work on CM9 for Huawei, alanorth for being a badass, and of course, thanks to all of you for testing!
Pre-requisites:
Visit the Basebands thread and make sure that you are using a baseband that is recommended for CyanogenMod. If you are still using an Eclair ROM, you must update your baseband or you will experience boot loops.
Visit the ClockworkMod thread and install the latest ClockworkMod build via Odin.
Install the GooManager or MAD Manager application from the Google Play store... or, download the ROM manually via PC using the link that you will find after RTFM'ing.
Installation (first time/new users):
Open the GooManager application.
Navigate to psyke83 -> roms -> galaxy5.
Click on the build you wish to install from the list.
Click on the Download button to download the rom.
Once the download(s) are complete, reboot into recovery and install the update package, followed by the Google Apps package.
Important: if you are updating from a stock ROM, CM7 or any other ROM that is not my personal CM9 build, choose the data wipe option before rebooting!
Latest Changelog:
20120605 [v0.4]
md5: 8d85095380f1106c883a86c2ea8fc457
Update CyanogenMod source
Switched to new kgsl driver & Adreno ICS libraries. This resolves the image corruption issues seen in v0.3, but the kernel drivers may not yet be fully stable. Needs more testing.
Basic camera functionality: preview & taking snapshots work properly. Barcode scanners show preview but do not recognise barcode. Camcorder preview works normally, but recorded video will be corrupt (due to encoders).
20120602 [v0.3] [rebuilt - check md5sum]
md5: 59e44aa9d0424d7835587556e3f4adb5
Update CyanogenMod source
Full HWA (hardware acceleration) enabled
Enable hardware acceleration support in Trebuchet
Enable "force GPU rendering" option by default (allows more apps to use HWA)
Fix & enable window & transition animations (1x) - now completely smooth
Fix a small bug caused by compcache that prevented userinit.d scripts (such as simple2ext) from executing
Ensure that userinit.d folder is created if needed
Adjust lockscreen layout so that the lockscreen weather widget doesn't cause lockscreen buttons to be obscured.
20120527 [v0.2]
md5: 1be4cbefec95259f292aeb5d4080d25d
Known issue: If simple2ext fails, it's because the /data/local/userinit.d folder doesn't exist. To workaround this issue, run su and then "madconfig blah" ("blah" doesn't really do anything, but by coincidence the madconfig script always creates the userinit.d folder when parsing any option).
Known issue: Apollo doesn't associate with .mp3 files properly yet. Install the old Music app (to /system/app or simply by installing as a user app): http://goo.im/devs/psyke83/roms/Music.apk
kernel: backported xt_quota2, xt_qtaguid, iface_stat drivers to allow proper networking stats and prevent recurring framework crashes
libaudio: fix for wrong microphone being used during calls, added audio attenuation support (enabled on speaker), added Samsung extamp filtering support to fix distortion in FM audio & headset in-call audio. Added new system property that lets users disable extamp filtering if wanted (no extamp filtering + 0db attenuation on speaker = identical audio volume to v0.1 release's audio)
boot: remove corrupted initlogo that was displayed before bootanim started (no longer needed)
framework: fixed cpu deep sleep issue that was caused by wakelock in hs serial device (Bluetooth quick switch) - should drastically improve battery life (may now be similar to CM7)
framework: optimizations to 2D rendering speed
framework: disable UI touch sounds (was just slowing down presses + increasing battery drain)
switch from old Music app to new Apollo music player
add VoiceDialer, SoundRecorder
Trebuchet: change drawer animation back to default (looks nicer, no change in performance)
fix simple2ext compatibility issue. Note: you will need to enable the "mount as ext4" option in the app settings, as CM9 does not auto-mount /sd-ext on boot.
wifi: change wpa_supplicant driver from wext to ar6000
increase VM heap to 32MB - should reduce ANRs
fix for keypad layout not following orientation changes
20120525 [v0.1]
md5: 530a2bc7a7a53d7ef0764561ba9675ad
Initial build, based on Huawei U8160 ICS source base.
Using codeaurora_gio2europa kernel (same source as CM7)
Confirmed working: 2D, 3D, wireless, BT & BT tether, touchscreen (including fake dual-touch), sensors, lights, SD card & mass storage, all telephony, audio, MAC addresses for BT & wireless, compcache, swap (disabled by default), GPS
Confirmed broken: camera/video recorder, USB tethering, wireless hotspot, FM, video codecs (Youtube HQ, etc.), battery drains (most likely).
Added CM7's File Manager, since CM9 doesn't yet have one.
Supports GooManager and Mad Manager downloads & OTA updates.
Source Code:
Kernel: https://github.com/psyke83/kernel_samsung_gio2europa
Device: https://github.com/psyke83/android_device_samsung_galaxy5
Goo.im ROM folders:
roms/galaxy5
roms/gapps
Current status (20120605 / v0.4):
Working:
Full HWA (hardware acceleration) using ICS Adreno libraries & new kgsl kernel drivers
Camera - basic functionality
Audio
Telephony - calling, messaging, mobiledata
Touchscreen - including OuNao's fake dual-touch, configurable via madconfig
Bluetooth & Bluetooth tethering
Wireless
Correct MAC addreses for BT & WiFi
SD card & USB mass storage
Lights
Sensors - via OuNao's g5sensord and sensor library, which means no lag in games, etc.
Compcache & swap - the latter available via madconfig, but disabled by default
GPS
Good battery backup (needs more testing to be sure)
Not working / todo:
Bluetooth prevents deep sleep - do not leave enabled when you have no need to use it
Camera - barcode scanner - preview works, but barcodes not recognised
Camcorder - works, but doesn't encode video properly
USB & Wifi Tethering - you may be able to use third-party replacements
FM Radio - no CM9 radio app yet exists, but Spirit FM may work
Video acceleration - video decoders will use software rendering, which uses more battery, and is too slow for HQ video playback.
Useful commands:
Note: make sure you are superuser by typing 'su' in terminal before running any command.
Enable swap (disabled by default): madconfig swapon
Disable swap: madconfig swapoff
Enable fake dual-touch (disabled by default): madconfig dton
Disable fake dual-touch: madconfig dtoff
Audio driver customization - replace X with desired value explained for each entry:
Code:
Samsung extamp filter - X is bool value (0 = off, 1 = on)
setprop persist.sys.extamp-filter X [default 0]
Attenuation properties - X is value in decibels
setprop persist.sys.speaker-attn X [default 6]
setprop persist.sys.headset-attn X * [default 0]
setprop persist.sys.fm-attn X [default 0]
* Attenuation of audio on the headset does not work when in-call.
Only the Samsung extamp filter can reduce the volume for headset calls.
Reserved
I saw this on mad team forum. Currently running it now and it runs really well. Can't wait for the next build well done pal!

Great job!
It´s working fine, the only thing i miss from CM7 is pressing the back-button to kill an app. That was my most used feature!

Oh, and camera is working.
0.4 is better, fixes the bugs, but is a bit slow.
Downloading 0.5.
Thanks psyke, for the great job!
Hi ppl!
I updated from version 7 mostly because I needed the the new sip features, but in this new version 9, on Internet calls, now we don't have the option to change the user agent anymore, therefore I cannot make calls using my mobile phone account anymore ((((
Why did the Devs took of this feature from CyanogenMOD, does anyone knows??
Thank you, but it is very important for me, or else I have to go back to version 7
Cheers!

Any major fixes ?
Few suggestions for psyke83
Hello psyke, I've got a suggestion for you.
To make more free space on the NAND, you could delete out "Speech Recorder" from the ROM. It's useless.
And, could you add all the languages which are in CM7 to stock keyboard?
Because now CM9's keyboard hasn't got Lithuanian-specific letters, such as ą, č, ę, ė, į, š, ų, ū and ž.
Can you include in this ROM the Mount2SD script?! (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342387). That is a well update script and in the CM9 porting for the Google Nexus One has a great integration in Optitions -> Performances -> MountwSD
This was once the home of stratusrom. Unfortunately, due to a big misunderstanding which I do not wish to get into (read the last 5 pages if you are interested, although I recommend against it). I have deleted and recreated this thread in full, so head there, and let old bones stay buried. I will not respond to any kind to post here, and please don't post, as it will cause this to resurface. Bury it completely!
head here for my rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27826938#post27826938
(I see you reaching for the page button!)
This rom has ics 4.0 or it's a rom for sgp 4.0?

NOTE: post repurposed to move extra info off of the OP, as it is becoming very crowded.
User participation:
Sometimes I have a possible issue or fix that I need YOU the users to try before I fix it. These commands/steps will not harm your Gplayer in any way, or decrease performance. Just post the result if I need you to, or report back on your success/failure!
Performance:
Make sure you post screenshots of your quadrant scores so I can tell that my work is going to good use!
If you have a hack/performance mod you want to see in the next version, be sure you pm me your idea/link!
Please make sure it is a well though out idea, not "improve cpu score on quadrant", as that doesn't help me.
Make sure you report any bugs you have as soon as possible, so i can fix them!
Bluetooth fix:
this is only for people who are having bluetooth issues, if you are not, ignore this!
1. Head into terminal emulator
2. Get su, and type "v6"
3. Head through the prompts until you see a mains screen with several options
4. Choose the one that says "Nitro lag nullifier"
5.Unillify
6.exit, and reboot
Howto:
convert to EXT4(STRONGLY recommended, as this gives a large performance boost. Most of my I/o tweaks performance increase is reduced drastically if you do not apply this!)
Credit goes to Klin for this guide.
1. Flash Klin's R3 or a version of Terrasilent
2. Make sure you have about 14 MB free space on /system.
3. Boot into CWM recovery and do a full nandroid backup.
4. Reboot, and from your computer go to the CWM backup directory on your sd card. Alternatively, you could use a file explorer to view and edit these files.
5. Change all the files from ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar".
6. Open nandroid.md5 with a text editor and change all the ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar". Save and close.
7. Eject the device from your computer FIRST. This step is crucial. Then disconnect from your player. If you edit it on the player, you can skip this step.
8. Reboot to CWM recovery and do a full restore.
9. (only for terrasilent users) head into the advanced menu of cwm, select reboot download, then reflash your terrasilent kernel. That should fix the "bricking" some people experienced.
There you go! enjoy the increase!
Fix home button woes:
I have finally, after a bit of luck and some know-how, determined a fix for the home button issue! This will work on ALL roms, not just this one, and will probably work for the 5.0 as well. This also means you can fully wipe data if you want, and simply apply my fix.
1. Navigate to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings
2.Optionally copy to a computer (easier that way)
3.Open it up in a sqlite editor (if you are doing this on the device, copy it to /sdcard and and then copy it back
4.Navigate to the locale/first section (there should only be one string in there
5.It should look like en_US if you have a US player, or en_GB if you have a UK/intl player
6.Change the string to the language/locale you use (if you are INTL you can merely change it to xx_GB, where xx is your language. If you are US, just perform the same steps, but change the last part to US)
7. commit/save the file and copy it over the old one
8. Reboot, and your home button *should* be fixed!
NOTE: I have not personally tested this. It has a 99% change of working, but I have yet to completely verify it.
NOTE: after you replace the file, android may go a little haywire (wifi disconnects, forgets password, advanced reboot option unavailable, etc.). THIS IS OKAY. Simply reboot, and it will all be back. Do not change any settings after copying until it reboots, as it may possibly break the fix
NOTE: I cannot provide a downloadable file, as that file contains all of your system settings, and if you use mine, my settings will be applied, which could be pretty bad in some cases.
NOTE: this has no chance of bootlooping or bricking your device. At absolute worst, you have to set up a few settings/restore from a /dbdata backup. There is almost no risk involved.
Credits:
I want to thank all the devs who created mods that I use in my rom. There are too many devs to list, but I want to thank them all for such great work. I am currently working on the list of people below, so I can properly thank them. I realize they need to be recognized for their hard work, and the last thing I want to do is rip them off.
bscraze for his Beats audio poweramp fix/boost audio.
dsexton702 for his universal adrenaline shot.
H3llstorm for his compiled list of gps fixes.
[email protected] for some of his init.d scripts
Zepplinrox for V6 supercharger.
Papa_Smurf151 for smurfed out settings.
Klin1344 (of course) for letting me continue his rom, and for his EXT4 converting guide (I didn't want to rewrite it myself, I was busy).
GO launcher team
Holo launcher team
theos0o for pulling youtube hd apk.
ICS 4.0
when can we expect to see Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich?
NOTE: post also repurposed.
V1-
All current features of Klin's R5 rom
"universal" adrenaline shot for improved I/o Performance

Improved battery life+deeper sleep
Smoother launcher
Vastly improved all-around performance
Added SQlite3, full Tune2fs, and Zipalign
Several sysctl tweaks for improved performance, and more battery life
System and Cache formatted for EXT4 by default (recommended you convert data and DBdata too!)(someone needs to verify this for me, I have already converted, so I can't tell)
Optimized Dalvik memory allocation
Beats Audio mod (amazing sound quality!)
HD youtube apk
Surface dithering (hopefully better display quality, I need feedback)

Increased camera and video recording quality
Disabled uneeded system apps (go into /system/app and rename them from .apk1 if you need them.)
Modded to be recognized as Galaxy S (does not work on market)
PLus several smaller tweaks I am sure I have forgotten about
V1.1-
did some first-day bug squashing (thanks posters!)
fixed market issue(If you have previously flashed this rom, reboot into recovery, head to mounts and storage, and format /cache)
Massive battery improvements:
Tweaked sysctl for battery (should not reduce performance)
force-disabled all swap usage (should improve performance)
Increased battery life 1.5x+
(I got over 3.5/4 hrs of constant web browsing with brightness at 30%, OC to 1.5ghz with a LOT of overvolting, and wifi on the entire time)
Gps fix for amazing lock time!
I got 3-5 seconds drom a cold boot!
V1.2-
Several small bugfixes
Ensured init.d runs on boot
Fixed some init.d scripts
Renabled logcat (for easier debugging)
Reverted busybox to a earlier version (for increased stability/ensuring tweaks stick)
small performance improvements
sysctl.conf init.d script disabled (the script is currently beta, you can enable it by uncommenting sysctl-p in the init.d script)
Updated beats audio mod (sounds a lot better)
Fixed bluetooth issues
V1.2.2-
Fixed poweramp, no more f/c
Improved audio quality
Increased max loudness of speakers (prone to distortion past 60/70%)
Hopefully squashed some bugs
Reverted possible bluetooth fix (you can still do it using my guide if your bluetooth does not work)
Possible 3d performance improvement
V1.3-
Fixed init.d scripts, they should ALWAYS run at boot now.
Fixed init.d scripts/optimized them for our device, it should speed things up a lot with my modifications (spent over 3 hours fixing them up)
removed some init.d scripts for faster boot
Fixed scrolling cache tweak (For some reason it was not working properly) for a performance increase while scrolling
General bugfixes
Added Holo launcher for total ICS feel (seemed laggy/slow when I used it though)
tweaked sysctl settings for a modest battery life increase
general performance fixes/increases.
V1.4-
Advanced sysctl tweaks (super fast responses)
Improved battery life a bit
Gave Ram priority to system (should not affect you unless you are a HUGE gamer, as in running games that should not be able to run on the Gplayer)
Small performance tweaks
Improved boot time ~5-10 seconds
Cleaned up init.d scripts some more
Tweaked Beats audio for better poweramp compatibility (hopefully)
Small tweaks to supercharger
Possibly fixed potential bootloops
V1.5-
Tweaked sysctl for added performance
Drastically improved battery life
Removed Holo launcher (unecessary and drained a LOT of battery when in use)
Added launcherpro (recommended for use to save battery life)
Tweaked build.prop for improved performance
Fixed nitro lag nullifier (bluetooth fix works 100% now)

Changed EXT4 journalling method (Big I/O boost)
Tweaked init.d scripts a bit
Updated/bugfixed busybox
Added voodoo sound control as a system app
Improved UI smoothness/performance
Disabled more uneeded system apps
Fixed home button issue (check my howto section)
various bugfixes/performance improvements
FM Radio
does your ROM have FM radio?
Yep! Sounds very good too, with beats audio.

Re: ICS
thanks for a speedier response regarding ICS
No problem at the moment, the onlybway we will be able to get ics is to recruit some developers, but ubtil then, I and Klin don't have the necessaey knowledge to port it over

How exactly do you flash this? Odin?
Yep, just like any other rom.

I tried it and it just fails. Flashed Klassic R5 and stock with no problems. Im pretty sure the file I downloaded is not odin flashable. Inside the zip is only "cache.ext4" and "factoryfs.ext4". Is there something I'm missing? Thanks for the response, btw.
Try redownloading, I updated the link earlier with a version that fixes that issue. I will also double check my current link to make sure it works.

Ok, thanks. I downloaded it earlier today and saw you mentioned the link was back up so I thought that might have been the case. Thanks for sharing your work and looking forward to trying it out.
Thanks,hanthesolo
I've followed your instructions in another thread, and I can feel an awesome improvement!
I'm sure I would like this ROM
Yep, no problem! I, like an idiot, thought the filename extension was what Odin would format the partition to, and I of course never checked it out (today was pretty hectic). I am downloading it now myself to double check that it is what it should be.
BTW, new version up tomorrow with a new (awesome) name, and awesome battery life improvements! (I am currently at 50% after 2.5 hrs of nonstop web browsing with the screen at 30% and wifi on, plus a 1.5ghz overclock with some insane overvolting).

Thanks! I would recommend flashing this tom now, because I have a LOT of tweaks in it that are not in that thread (I have been unbelievably busy the last 24hrs)
I also believe this will work with INTL users, but I need someone to verify, since I have a us player.

Hi all.
I was wondering,what "homemade" tweaks like init.d/script manager scripts or build.prop do you use with your S3...
When i say homemade i mean tweaks you apply on your own,not any tweaks that come with the rom you use.
Tweaks that you've tried and liked,tweaks that you'd recommend.
Here's the things i do to make my S3 more lag free:
-Use Greenify
-Custom script for script manager attached below(updated 27/3/13)
-Build.prop almost clean as i found many of the tweaks unusable in 4.1 or to interfere with the System.
-No init.d tweaks currently (sometimes zipaling and sqlite defrag)
-Custom STweaks settings(Perseus) including overclock,they're too many to write if you want i can attach some screenies.
-Currently testing Crossbreeder mod but with the above my S3 was already fast enough so not much differency,if any.
-zRam 650mb script for a kernel that supports zRam attached below also to be used for script manager.

Build.prop tweaks
dxppxd said:
This one is for the soft keys, tablet-like home, menu, back buttons on screen (with respective screen reduction). Adding the line on build.prop:
Enable
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Disable
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Popular tweak, for the sake of those who don't know them yet.

So that's my list right now.

well, yes But i'm interested in the script you posted. What exactly did you change the minfree values and ratios to ? Would these values give more multi-tasking or are they engineered towards having free ram ?
Also Greenifying google maps (as a user app) gives a huge boost to battery life, unless you have Google Now enabled

Hehe..
Well this is leaning towards better multitasking and most importantly lag free system and multitasking.
I lowered the adj values a bit because stock S3 were killing my apps a bit too fast for me,they're "inspired" from the original Galaxy S only a bit modified to suit the S3.
I found them to be working nicely for me,give them a go if like and post here or pm me.
Except from the adj values i modified a bit the values of sysctl.conf like dirty ratio vfs cache pressure and some nr_request config.
I changed my values a bit right now and also disabled iostats to make it even more less laggy so i'll upload this when i get home.
I usually have around 70mb free ram but my S3 doesn't lag at all,yay!
Now trying 500mb zRam and it's going very nice...i may add it to the op soon...

-Sorry for that mate, i did not include specific instructions to make all things simple and easy to digest...
-Links above were provided click for your specific tweak and you will be sent directly to its original source..
-There you will have OP's specific details with regards on their tweaks..
-And by the way FOR VULPIX_3.1 just make sure your ROM dont have any tweaks.. coz it already have all the simple tweaks implemented and it may complicate other things like crossbreeder , direct injection and a lot of stuff..
Dont mix PIMP my ROM and Vulpix.. they are two different tweaks heavily customizes your phone so mixing them is not advisable.
