Gingerbread support is experimental. Whatever the bug is, don't say it - I already know. I will fix them all when I can.
Current device support:
anzu (Arc) (LT15): Alpha in progress
ayame (Arc S) (LT18): Alpha in progress
haida (Neo V) (MT11): Alpha in progress
hallon (Neo) (MT15): Alpha in progress
iyokan (Pro) (MK16): Alpha in progress
phoneix (Neo L) (MT25): Supported
zeus/zeusc (Play) (R800): Supported
Others - No plans, probably never (only HDPI Xperia 2011 devices will be supported by MIUI Australia)
Full feature list:
Early roots in KRsH 2.6.32.9/4.1.C.0.7 kernel. Has changed drastically since first release; additional changes from CosmicDan, FXP and Irii. Stock-based kernel with manual changes/updates for AOSP and JB support - reported my many to have better batterey life and reliability than FXP-based kernels. Also built with Linaro toolchain and uses some Linaro-optimized memory functions.
Supports GB, ICS and JB ROM's. Configurable via the "Slot Mode" in the specific slot for the Boot Menu (see next point). AOSP-GB ROM's (e.g. CM7) are not supported.
Turbo Boot Menu. Entered by pressing vol-down (acts as a pre-recovery menu). Supports four slots for installing ROM's into - Slots 2-4 are stored on ext2 "image" files inside the /sdcard/turbo/ folder. Powered by the brilliant Aroma Installer GUI by Amarullz - any slot can be changed to your default boot, and each slot's icon and text can be customized
Tweaks and Mods selection for each slot:
- TSDX - my own set-and-forget sd-ext script. Ability to share apps between each slot. Can also be uninstalled if desired (for one slot or for all - fully wizard-driven install/uninstall interface).
- Restore random entropy device - By default, Turbo kernel replaces the /dev/random entropy device with urandom. No need for a seeder - in fact an entropy seeder will do absolutely nothing in this kernel, just sit there feeding entropy to the same device. This option can be toggled to set the default device back to random.
- Deasec v2 - When enabled, this slot will decrypt "asec" apps on startup. Helps a lot with App2SD/Link2SD users. Original concept by Giovanni Aneloni, rewritten by myself (CosmicDan).
- Change USB to ### - This option can toggle this slot to force UMS (Mass Storage) or MTP (Media Transfer) mode for USB connections. Please note that some ROM's, e.g. latest CM10 and KXP-JB, have completely disabled UMS in the ROM. Nothing I can do about that.
- Disable ALS - Enable or Disable the ambient light sensor for this ROM. If a ROM has a "disable ALS tweak" built it, this option will not do anything.
- Logging Mode - Change the Logging mode from the default to either Disabled or Extended. Disabled can increase performance (but logcat will be unavailable), extended can help with developers. See the option itself in tweak menu for more details.
Repair Functions. Inside the Boot Menu > Settings and Tools, the repair function will attempt to fix errors on SDCard and Slot2-4 images, and fix permissions. Default full repair and Advanced selection modes possible.
TeamWin Recovery Project. Can also be switched to/from CWM-Recovery in the Boot Menu > Settings and Tools menu. TWRP is recommended though as it's much more advanced and user-friendly. Contains additional fixes thanks to championswimmer, a theme and UI design by myself, plus the "Factory Reset" option will *not* touch the sd-ext partition.
Increased RAM capacity (select devices). zeus and phonex (Play/Neo L) have 379MB of RAM total. 720p recording is removed since it is buggy in Jellybean (gives a good chunk of more RAM), and also some of my own kernel tuning to squeeze a bit more (smaller kernel footprint = more RAM for Android). Do not ask for a 720p recording version, it will never happen - use a different kernel if you want it.
Expanded /data partition (varies per device). 600MB+ of space on userdata. Please note that your /system ROM must be no larger than 310MB to use this kernel. If you don't know how to check this, contact your ROM author for details and to make their ROM compatible with this kernel - also they can contact me for tips on crushing their ROM size =)
Automatic wifi-module. There is no ZIP install required for Wifi module, the kernel init can detect automatically if the wifi module(s) need to be installed. They are located on the RAMDisk (at {root}/modules) and the kernel simply makes a symlink to the .ko files on boot if it needs to (linking is better than copying them).
Snappy zRAM compression. I personally don't use zRAM at all because it slows things down (still ain't snappy enough, heh), but "Snappy" zRAM compression by Google is apparently a lot faster than the traditional LZO compression and only a tiny bit worse compression ratio.
CPU governors - Intellidemand (default, has my own enhancements for our single-core Snapdragon CPU's - including CPU ramping on touch events ported from "Project Butter"), Lagfree, SmartAssV2, Performance and OnDemand. No, I will not add more governors. More governors = more RAM used by kernel = less RAM for Android.
I/O schedulers - SIO (default), deadline and noop. No, I will not add more schedulers. More schedulers = more RAM used by kernel = less RAM for Android.
CIFS, TUN/TAP and FUSE support built-in. No modules required.
...did I miss anything? Don't think so.
Compatibility:
The kernel has been tested and working on the following ROM's -
Turbo UI (CosmicDan's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
Project Jellyzeus AOSP (CosmicDan's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
SlimBean for Xperia Play GSM/CDMA (cj360's source build) (Multiboot-aware)
P.A.C Man-PA (wedgess' source build) (Multiboot-aware)
Paranoid Android JB (wedgess' source build) (Multiboot-aware)
CM10 (Not multiboot-aware)
CM9 (Not multiboot-aware)
NXT2JB (GB ROM by sewer56lol) (Multiboot-aware)
AuroraPlay (GB ROM by Spizzy01) (Multiboot-aware)
Please report if it works or not for other Jellybean/ICS-AOSP ROM's.
FAQ/Bugs:
Q) When I select "Reboot > Recovery" in my ROM, it boots recovery but there are strange errors!
A) Yes, this will boot recovery but it won't know which slot to use. I can't fix this sorry, so simply don't use it (just use Vol-Down on normal reboot).
Q) My device keeps going into the Boot Menu, even though I never pressed the key to enter!
A) This is a bootloader thing and is rare, to fix it just enter Recovery (for any slot) and select reboot from there.
Q) Camera does not work in my Stock GB or Stock ICS based ROM!
A) Known issue. I *may* be able to fix camera in Stock ICS ROM's later, but Gingerbread will probably never happen.
Q) I get an FC when trying to record video!
A) Make sure you select 480p for the quality in camcorder settings. Recording only works on ICS-AOSP and JB ROM's with no 720p.
Q) My ROM in slot 2/3/4 is bootlooping, or I'm getting FC's all the time!
A) Your microSD has become corrupted, probably due to a battery pull or an unclean shutdown - and so the Slot images have also been corrupted. Chose the Tools > Repair function in Boot Menu to try and solve it. If not, I'm afraid you'll have to *delete* that slot (a format will not do) and re-create the images. (Note to ROM dev's - best to use Slot 1 for testing/working, since this is the safe slot for battery pulls/adb reboot command).
Q) I have a problem with my ROM - I flashed Turbo Kernel and restored my backup with Nandroid.
A) This is not possible. If you have a Nandroid/TWRP backup from another ROM, it cannot be restored with this kernel. This is because of the custom partitions. The same goes for restoring Turbo Nandroid backups in another kernel (but restoring TWRP backups in another kernel will work fine - as long as userdata is not too big for the new kernel).
Important info on data safety
*Never* unmount/remove SDCard or pull the battery while system is using Slot 2/3/4. But mounting USB Storage or MTP to PC is 100% fine. @Dev's - never use "adb reboot" command, instead use "adb shell reboot" for the safe reboot.
Do NOT install a ROM ZIP in Slot 2/3/4 until it is marked "multiboot-aware" by the creator. ROM's that are not Multiboot-aware will format and install to your internal (Slot 1), no matter *what* you do. There are two ways to work-around this:
1) [Easy, temporary] Basic idea is to move the ROM from Slot 1 (Internal) to the new Slot. When you first enter Slot 2/3/4, the wizard to set up the slot begins. You have the option to either create blank system and useredata images, or to copy (clone) it from Slot 1 (Internal). So basically, just install the ROM (e.g. CM9 or CM10) in Slot 1, then you can setup Slot 2/3/4 and chose "Copy from Internal" for system (and userdata if you like). Make sure the new Slot works OK, then you can erase and reinstall whatever on Slot 1.
2) [Detailed, permanent, ROM makers do this please!] Change the updater-script to use generic mount commands. I encourage all ROM makers to do this, it will still work with other kernels and recoveries fine. For details on the specific script changes needed, refer to this post.
Make sure your SDCard is free of errors. If you encounter *any* issues with *any* ROM, do a full Repair in the "Settings and Tools" menu before reporting any issues.
For a better detailed, newbie-friendly guide on Multiboot, or for more help, refer to this thread guide. Big thanks to RC fma965 for the guide!
Downloads/Installation
Please Nandroid backup before flashing. I am not responsible for any permanent damage or data loss. I try my best not to wreck your stuff though
This kernel uses a custom partition layout. /system size is 310MB and /data size is over 600MB. Flashing this kernel will DESTROY all your userdata and ROM, so backup first! You have been warned!
GSM ONLY - You must have a vendor-unlocked partition layout - this only needs to be done once, if you have flashed my MIUI Australia ROM in the past or an official Neo L FTF, you already have it and can skip this step. If not, flash this full FTF first which is the same as .64 FTF but with the required vendor partition to format the unallocated space (it will completely wipe your phone) - R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf on Google Drive. DevHost mirror here - thanks to fma965
CDMA ONLY - No need to flash any FTF, it seems R800x already has an unlocked vendor partition.
Ensure your ROM is less than 310MB system size. If you are not sure or don't know how to check, contact your ROM builder.
Download and flash the kernel -
Mediafire folder for Turbo Kernel
First-time users - Enter Multiboot Menu (Vol-Down key) and go to Internal > Recovery, then format system, data and cache before doing anything else. Very important.
Do not install Google Apps straight after ROM install. You *must* boot the ROM at least once before installing Gapps package!
If you cannot enter the Boot Menu or Recovery after flashing, you need to flash the FTF first.
Sources and Changelog
All sources all on my GitHub (see my sig) in the KRsH kernel (there are a few kernel repo's but the KRsH one with latest update is this one), under "jellybean" branch. TWRP sources are in Team-Win-Recovery-Project repo under "jb-wip" branch (yes, it's TWRP 2.4.1.0+ - I'm just too lazy to branch). CWM sources under android_bootable_recovery.
Changelog: See this post (same changelog for all devices).
it is interesting. I will check later
Will try to flash it when I'm home.

Hey cosmicdan, I cant seem to boot in recovery from your kernel. when spamming the back button a black screen comes up and nothing happens. When spamming the volume button it does boot into Aroma file manager, a little fix is to just flash your other kernel and install cm9/miui or boot up a recovery through fastboot

You're a ****ing idiot. It's IMPOSSIBLE to brick the phone with a fastboot flash. And I tested *both* kernels myself before uploading. Pull that **** out of your signature before I report you to a moderator. NOW.
EDIT: "Pro at installing kernels" xD Use flashtool in flashmode on stock FTF mister "pro"!

Correct Only wipe when switching partition layout. Sometimes you don't have to, but the ramdisk tried to read system and can result in a bootloop.

I think you screwed up. Do you not know how to get your phone into fastboot using the search button? You didn't try to use flash mode or something did you? Fastboot is always available so try flashing it again.
Just installed, seems quite smooth. Using intellidemand and vr i/o scheduler o/c to 1.2ghz

Yep and even if fastboot somehow dies, flashmode is always available. I think flashmode is actually managed by a separate little chip even, that might be wrong information though.
What I'm really pissed off about is that the jerk is advertising in his signature that I killed his phone and won't remove it. That should be bannable.

Yeah I run a 1.2GHz max too, I was on 1.5GHz but it seems to drain battery quicker (due to quick ramping on every touch) with no performance benefit. I might actually run a battery life test on intellidemand vs lagfree tomorrow, running a few different benchmarks in a row each from a full battery - to compare benchmark scores and battery life of each.

ONTOPIC
Kernel runs great on LuPuSUIv0.5, I definitely notice a bit better performance then the stock FXP CM9.0 kernel. Together with V6 supercharger and deleting about 20 system apps I can say this is the smoothest rom/kernel combo I have tried this far

ROM Name: EUViewpad 7
Based on: Stock EU firmware (froyo 2.2.2) for Viewpad 7
This build is for Viewsonic Viewpad 7 and similar devices.
Because none of the other custom roms I could find for this device included my native language as a display option I decided to build my own custom firmware using the stock firmware. I've applied the best fixes I could find in other custom roms for this device and also included some of my own.
Version 1.5
Replaces android 2.2 with android 2.2.2. Some minor tweaks to the framework are added and some small issues are fixed (youtube green bar.)
Since some people still seem to have problems with wifi, mostly due to old settings still maintained after flashing a new rom. I added a small script that removes /misc2/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf on first boot which should solve it for most people.
Version 1.6
Fixes the market incompatibility found in V1.5. Reverted back to the older market which doesn't have this problem and removed the market updater. Due to an error in the build.prop the stagefright player was being disabled. That has been fixed so quadrant scores should return to normal. s2k7 has provided a non overclocked kernel with init.d support, based on that I've provided an ITE version. This version is exactly the same as the non-ITE version, except for the alternate boot.img. I have not tested this as I do not have a device with ITE hardware.
Version 1.7
- More languages (French, Italian, Spanish, Asian)
- Cleaned up /system to create more free space for file manipulation.
- Updated Apps with new icons for ic_menus.
- updated framework-res.apk with new images and styles
- updated Flash Player to 10.2
Version 1.7b
- Added languages Chinese and Taiwanese (I guess from country strings, can't read it)
- Updated framework-res.apk with black on white menu (instead of white on black) to match the theme.
- Updated browser.apk with new menu icons. Most people will probably install another browser, but I like the stock one, it's very small and light.

- International display languages
- TJstyle's overclocked kernel with added init.d support
- Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 beta 4(requires that you have ext3 or ext4 partition on your SD card; exact procedure to create one is described in installation procedure.)
- Fully deodexed, optimized and zipalligned ROM
- ROM is rooted (latest version of Superuser.apk + su binary installed)
- Custom Boot animation and sounds
- added apps: Hacker's keyboard, Flash Player 10.2, Quick Boot, ES File explorer
- removed apps: Aldiko, Touchpal_M20, stock file explorer
- Modified host file for ad-free
- Enabled HW acceleration in build.prop
- Customized Framework (battery mod, Statusbar and Notification area fully customized)
- Optimized Memory settings (using V6 Supercharger by zeppelinrocks)
- Bulletproof launcher settings.
- Smoothness Tweaks
Requirements:
Installed Clockwork Recovery Partition as described here [TOOL] Viewpad 7 Backup, Root & Recovery

11. Select the "wipe data/factory reset->Yes – delete all user data” to clear old stuff.
12. Select the "install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard" item and select EUViewpad7v1.0.zip.
13. After flashing will be done select the "reboot system now" item. First boot may take a few minutes.
Migrate from stock or another build:
1. Make backup of your phone using Titanium Backup (select all user applications).
2. Copy all files and folders from SD card to local folder on your computer.
3. Install Clockwork Recovery Partition, create partition on SD card and install ROM as described in installation guide.
4. Copy all files and folders from local folder on your computer back to SD card.
5. Restore applications using Titanium Backup and reboot your phone.

Darktremor for his Apps2d
tjstyle for his overclocked kernel
googlehome for his work on Cleanviewpad 1.1
s2k7 for the ITE kernel with init.d support
Without the work these people have done on custom roms for this device I wouldn't have known where to start and this wouldn't have been possible.
Additional Instructions
Returning to stock firmware:
To return to a stock firmware, you need to use the SUT L3 software to flash original firmware. Here is a small guide and the necessary software.
Flashing to this firmware before installing an EUVviewpad rom seems to fix the wifi problems some people have.
1. Download SUT L3 v1.7.9
2. Download the following rom:
- Download Firmware 3420
3. Unzip the files you downloaded
4. Install SUT L3 on windows
5. Start SUT L3 and click next
6. Check in the bottom left corner if you see the message: A phone is connected (if it is not, you need to install the correct drivers. You can do this by running setup.exe from the virtual CD of the viewpad)
7. Select the rom you downloaded and click next.
8. Your viewpad should now reboot into clockwork recovery and after a few seconds switch to download mode and start flashing the new firmware. This will take a few minutes after which the phone will reboot and start to the stock os.
After this you can choose to root it with SuperOneclick, install cwrecovery and any custom rom.
Installing Touchpal keyboard:
In Version 1.7 Touchpal keyboard has been removed. Here's how to reinstall it:
1. Download this zip: Touchpal.zip
2. Extract the zip to a folder on your sdcard. (for example /sdcard/touchpal
3. Browse to the folder using ES File explorer on the viewpad
4. Install Touchpal_M20.apk and any language packs you want.
5. Go to Settings > Language & Keyboard and activate Touchpal.
6. Long press any text input field and select Input Method
7 From the list, select touchpal.
<reserved space for future updates>
Seems that I didnt test the wifi drivers included in the v1.0 release as well as I thought. While i have no problems with finding and connecting to my AP I can't get a proper internet connection for some reason.
I've reverted the rom back to the Stock EU 2.2 wifi drivers (have no problems with those) and updated the OP with the v1.1 version. Please use V1.1 and only try V1.0 if you have problems with your wifi. I will look into this some more.
My current wishlist of things I plan (hope) to do with this rom:
- Integrate V6 Supercharger script with best settings for Viewpad7 to improve memory performance.
- Install a nice battery icon (Battery Icon Mod?)
- create a new notification bar (i'm thinking transparent or shaded)
- change the default background
- tweak, tweak, tweak.
It would be nice to eventually set up a Custom ROM kitchen for this device, but for now i'll focus on improving this rom.
Original TouchPAL_M20 is still in the rom, I've remove some of the language packs for it to save space, but I can allways add those back in on request.

Good idea! I didn't even know what an APN list was till you mentioned it, but ill try to find the most complete one around and add that to the next version.
By New Market, do you mean the most recent version of the market app preinstalled ? Because this one should just update automagically and work fine, but it wouldn't be to much work to add the most recent one to the rom.
I'm looking into the wifi problem.
Can people with wifi problems on my rom please start up in rtm mode (press volume down and power) and give me HWver and SWver of their device ?

Bravo, excellent to see someone working on a customized Froyo ROM optimized for our "cute" tablet - spouse's been playing Angry Birds on it and until I can get it NAND and Titanium backed up this weekend when she's asleep, I won't get my hands on it to flash this one.
Just curious whether this ROM support the newer Touchscreen or ITE hardware (I'm assuming that it will since it's based on OS 2.2.2 just like ours for the North America regions.) Please advise before I give this a full run with a full wipe & install. BTW, it connect to our 2 wifi routers just fine (1 in g mode-WEP and 1 n mode-WPA2.)
RTM & related info (as shipped)
SWVer 3.41
FM6-0001
HWVer 107
VPAD7 - 2.2.2
2.6.32.9
1008_3.350
FM6-316R (3/22/11)
SUTL3 V1.6.5 (and 1.7.9)
The custom (Froyo Enhanced) non-overclocked ROM I'm running now is based on Froyo 2.2.1 and ITE compatible - Baseband PR3.7_125, Kernel Apps_2.6.32.9 and Build 1008_3_240
Suggestions for the next update -
Status Bar - Interface tweaks by adding Power Widgets (easier to turn on/off wifi, orientation, bluetooth, volume, brightness, airplane mode, etc.)
Also, I changed from stock to ADW Launched, downloaded easily from the "new" Market and installed with Astro FM - as I can lock down the Homescreens so that other "borrowing" & playing with it won't accidently move or delete my desktop icons, etc. etc.
Google Maps V5.9 has been out (and has many useful additions & support for tablets) and so far, it's been reported as relatively stable & NOT prone to FC or reboot, unlike earlier 5.x releases - so it's probably worth the update from the stock 4.5 ?? version as shipped.
I've managed to move some apps & data to the 16GB mSD card but definitely having App2SD or similar will free up internal phone storage space so that I can load more Apps onto it.

Hello,
This looks interesting. I only want to overclock and then restore to my present line-up of apps and will be installing mainly to get the overclocked kernel.
Q: Can I skip the whole 2sd process and not partition when installing this? Great and important feature, but no way to back-up my SD right now so would like to skip that and just benefit from the oc kernel. Or will that not work?
Also, could you please clarify what exactly the difference is from CleanViewpad. Does CleanV also have overclocked kernel?
Thanks!

I think that the main differences are that this has more European languages than CleanViewPad as well as the newest version of Darktremor's Apps 2 SD script. I'm pretty sure that this ROM will function even though you have no ext3 partition on your microSD as the apps are still able to be installed on the internal memory and are - if I remember correctly - installed there by default.

Just curious whether this ROM support the newer Touchscreen or ITE hardware (I'm assuming that it will since it's based on OS 2.2.2 just like ours for the North America regions.) Please advise before I give this a full run with a full wipe & install.

This rom is based on OS 2.2, not 2.2.2 and it's using tjstyle's overclocked kernel, which does not support ITE hardware.
My own viewpad 7 on which i'm developing this rom is SWVer: 3.16R (earliest i've seen so far) and it seems that people with newer versions are suffering from the wifi problem.
I'm going to have to do some more research and experiment a little, but it would help me a lot if someone could provide me with a CWM backup of the stock firmware of the newer devices. rooted or modded doesn't matter, as long as it's still stock firmware and not a custom rom.

Yeah, I tried installing Cleanpad and am using it right now, no problem skipping those steps there so...
So by installing this ROM I get more Euro languages and a newest version of Apps2SD? Excuse me, but I can get the latest version of it on CleanViewpad, it's descriped in its thread here. So unless I want a custom ROM with a Euro language, other than English, French and German, which are included in CleanViewpad, there's no point installing this?
Yes, I believe that's pretty much it sø far, but Amalgation have more things cooking for this ROM and is active in this subforum.

I've started this build mainly for support of the EU languages in this firmware, and I haven't done much else except integrate the best fixes (imo) I could find. I'm working on creating my own framework mod and improved memory management among other things, but it's a work in progress and for now I try to focus on getting this rom to work for as many people as possible.
So for now, if you're not interested in the EU languages, this might not be the rom for you.
Yep, you're right, and that's good, and so are the languages for whoever might need them.
I'm happy with CleanViewpad as it's problem-free and not too ugly, and basically just overclocked CPU and Apps2SD support. Which is all I'm looking for.
But I'm gonna stay tuned here. Nice that others appreciate this device!

DROPPING SUPPORT FOR THIS GUIDE
It has been a whole year since Miui announced that they would be suspending official support for the Vibrant, and nothing has changed. On October 22, 2012 I announced in a notice (which can be found below) that I would be no longer updating this guide "as of the moment". However, I would like it to be known that it is now more like 'as of forever'. Please, if you wish to get the latest ROM(s) for your phone you should head check out my Vibrant Bible thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982728. This guide is now depreciated.

SAD NEWS MY FELLOW MIUI FANS...
Sadly Miui is no longer supporting the Samsung Vibrant. That means no more Gingerbread updates nor will there be any official Miui v4 coming our way. It's rather disappointing, however if you wish, you can still find a download for Miui.us's Gingerbread v2.3.30 rom (last official Miui rom released for the Vibrant) in step 5 of the guide below. If you have a craving for some Miui v4 love, there is a port by 360° Productions that can be found here or here. As of the moment, this guide will no longer be updated...

HOW TO EASILY INSTALL MIUI ON THE SAMSUNG VIBRANT:
_________________________________________________
Table of Contents:
Post #1- Flashing the MIUI Rom (Easily)
Post #2- More Information (Tips, tricks, etc.)
Post #3- Custom Kernels/Modems/Themes for MIUI
_________________________________________________
These same flashing instructions also work for CM7! Download the latest CM7 nightly build here.
FLASHING THE MIUI ROM (EASILY)
In this guide I will show you how to revert to stock (2.1 Eclair), flash CWR (by flashing the Overstock Kernel via ODIN), then flash MIUI. The process may seems long in word format but once you have done it a few times it's a very quick process... Now to the detailed instructions...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. BACKUP (OPTIONAL)
(If rooted) Backup All Apps + Data with Titanium Backup, but try to avoid restoring system apps as they are typically to blame for bugs.
(If not rooted) Backup your apps with AppBrain. I have never used this app personally. However, from what I hear it is an excellent app for backing up apps for non-root users.
Backup your contacts (I suggest backing it to the SD Card)
Use "SMS Backup +" for saving/restoring text messages
(If rooted) Do a Nandroid Backup in CWR
As a precaution you may back up all the contents of the SD card to your PC. However, this isn't necessary
To do a completely clean install you can reformat you SD card by going into the Menu > Settings and unmount and format both internal and external SD cards. Just make sure you made a backup of important documents and files before reformatting.
2. FLASH BACK TO STOCK (2.1 Eclair)
First, download the files and program below:
ODIN (MD5: E012B512C1579C3AF7A38A27FD905B86)
PIT FILE (MD5: 1D927B36D2FA807A22E64FC86B445130)
TAR FILE (MD5: 632730F6B637F53E5B10E5CBC8B966A7)
After downloading it is suggested you use hashtab to verify the MD5.
After that move the files to your desktop.
3. DOWNLOAD MODE
NOTE - Do not remove the USB cable from the phone while ODIN is running as this may cause your phone to brick. If you removed the USB to early and now your phone is presenting you with a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image when booting then go down to the "More Information" section in this guide for the fix.
Open ODIN on your computer
Plug in the USB Cable to the computer
Remove the battery from the phone.
Plug USB into Phone
Hold down BOTH volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery.
Two to three seconds later your phone will be in Download Mode.
*Again, do not remove connection while ODIN is running.*
4. ODIN
Go back to ODIN on your PC. There should be a yellow box under ID COM, saying something like COM 5. If not try downloading and installing these Samsung Drivers.
Click the PIT button and select the PIT file from desktop
Click the PDA button and select the TAR file from desktop
Re-partition is checked!
Click Start. Unless ODIN hangs, you should see a progress bar start soon after. The process takes a few minutes and you told ODIN to reboot once done so when your phone boots up, you are on stock JFD.
5. DOWNLOAD THE MIUI ROM
Click here to get MIUI v2.3.30 from MIUI.us for the Vibrant.
If you want something with a little more pizzazz then stock MIUI check out some of 360° Production's variants:
Lithium
Prime
SGSII
Once downloaded use hashtab to verify the MD5. Then place the file on your internal SD card, the one that is 12GB and should have a folder called "DCIM."
You do not need to rename the ROM.
6. GET CWR
Download the file below:
Overstock Kernel
Once downloaded move it to the desktop, then load ODIN
Repeat step 3 to get into Download Mode
In ODIN Un-check Re-Partition and Auto Reboot (F. Reset Time should be checked)
Click the PDA button and select the Overstock Kernel from the desktop
Click start. Once it has finished (passed) remove the USB cable from the phone and do a battery pull
7. FLASH THE MIUI ROM
Hold both volume buttons and power. Release power once the Vibrant logo is up.
In CWR: Do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, & Wipe Dalvik Cache (advanced menu)
Go to “install zip from sd card”, select zip from sd... Go and find the MIUI ROM you put on the sd card and flash it.
It should start flashing and then enter a bootloop (Vibrant [Splash Screen] > Galaxy S Cyanogen(MOD) > CWR > Repeat). After it does this loop a few times do a battery pull.
Reboot into recovery, which will now be blue (Hold both volume buttons and power. Release power once the Vibrant logo is up).
Go to “install zip from sd card”, select zip from sd... Go and find the MIUI ROM you put on the sd card and flash it again.
This time it should successively install.
Go to "advanced", and select "Fix Permissions". Once it has finished fixing permissions go down and hit "++Go Back++"
Reboot your device.
Do not touch the phone for 5-10 minutes after it has booted... Do Absolutely Nothing! This helps clear any possible bugs.
8. RESTORE (OPTIONAL)
After going through the MIUI setup menu and have come to the home screen you're going to want to restore. (If you flashed the Lithium, Prime, or SGSII MIUI variants then you are first going to want to go into your "Themes" app and Re-apply the theme marked "Current".) Now, to restore you are going to go to the Market, Sign-in, Approve terms, Re-install Titanium Backup and/or AppBrain. Restore all Missing Apps+Data. I highly suggest you do not restore any system apps. After that restore anything else you have. (i.e. text messages) and reboot again.
ENJOY YOUR NEW ROM!
More Information
WHAT ABOUT IF THERE IS AN UPDATE TO MIUI?
Updating MIUI is easy. Simply open the Updater app located in the Tools folder in the home screen and it will find the latest update of MIUI for you and install it. It will also automatically check the MD5 for you. I do suggest you use Wi-Fi when updating however, as it will make the upgrading process much faster.
Also, there is an update for MIUI every Friday at 5pm unless it's a holiday.
RECONDITION YOUR BATTERY:
AFTER FLASHING IF YOU FIND THAT YOU HAVE BAD BATTERY LIFE TRY ONE OF THE METHODS BELOW TO FIX:
Method One:
Use phone till it dies on its own, completely dead.
Charge phone completely, plus 30 minutes longer.
Unplug phone from charger
Reconnect, you'll notice it's not full, charge till it is again.
This is bump charging and NOT something you want to do often, a few times is okay, in my opinion. You could skip the bump charge if you like.
Phone remains plugged in.
Boot into recovery (volumes + power)
Advanced > wipe battery stats, reboot.
Use phone till it's literally about to shut off (or does) Charge till full + Use phone like normal
OR
Method Two:
Download the Battery Calibration app by NeMa from the Android Market
GET EXTENDED SETTINGS (Even More Customization):
If you want an even more custom experience then MIUI already offers check out the "MIUI Control Panel" app. It allows you to remove AM/PM from the status bar, add effects to your phone's overscroll and more! All within an easy to use interface!
"SOFT" BRICKED WHILE USING ODIN?

}
If you are getting a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image (seen above) when booting phone, yes, you are bricked but it is reversible! Just follow these steps...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.
GET AN APP DRAWER:
Check out xuso's ALTDRAWER app! It's a great resolution to MIUI's lack of an app drawer.
GET LONGER BATTERY LIFE:
Gingerbread Rom's in general are notorious for causing battery drain. However, with a couple of tweaks and an understanding of what drains our batteries you can get great battery life, even on MIUI! Check out this awesome battery saving guide made by Woodrube! It has everything you'll need to get more out of your device! Plus you can find my setup for the Glitch kernel in it (which saves me a lot of battery).

FAQ:
-I'M NOT ROOTED AFTER FLASHING MIUI!
This is a common issue for people new to MIUI. The solution is to open the Superuser app that is normally in a folder called "tools", click the options soft key, click the setting button, and turn "ROOT permission" to ON.
-AFTER RESTORING SOME OF MY APPS THAT REQUIRE ROOT AREN'T WORKING!
This issue happened to me after restoring with MIUI's built in restore/backup app. My Wireless Tether and Titanium Backup apps kept claiming I wasn't rooted, while SetCPU worked fine. To fix this issue simply uninstall the non-working apps and re-install the app from the original source (i.e. Android Market) or restore it without data.
-I CAN'T DOWNLOAD FROM THE ANDROID MARKET, INSUFFICIENT STORAGE?!
This is what worked for me and hopefully it will also work for you too...
1). Boot into recovery
2). Enter the "Advanced" menu
3). Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
4). Reboot
Still having the issue? Check out this thread.
-MY PHONE WON'T CHARGE OVER 97%!
Try re-calibrating the battery. See the above section marked "RECONDITION YOUR BATTERY".
-"Move to External SD" popup?!
Here is the solution, use root explorer and move entire contents from "data/sdcard" to "sdcard"
Also delete "07internalsd" file from /system/etc/init.d
Custom Kernels/Modems/Themes for MIUI
MIUI COMPATIBLE KERNELS
To install custom MIUI kernels follow these steps:
1.) Download the Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script - 4.0
2.) Place the Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script - 4.0 zip file in your internal sd card
3.) Flash it as a normal package in CWR (install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_v4_by_lippol94.zip)
4.) Flash one of the MIUI compatible kernels from below
5.) Reboot
Some kernels have the Kernel Cleaning Script already integrated making steps 1-3 not necessary. Read the overveiw of the kernel you've selected to flash to decide if the instructions above apply to you.
Also, get the most out of your phone! Download the Voodoo Control app and make music and color be the way it's supposed to be!

If this guide helped you, please thank and credit to s15274n!
I do not take full credit for this guide. Credit also goes to s15274n as there is some information in this guide that is straight from his guide. So if this guide has helped you do not only thank me but also thank s15274n!
Also, if you found this guide of any help please don't forget to hit the "thanks" button!
haha, thanks for checking with me and the credit... I was a little surprised at just how closely this resembled by guide (and are those my files on sourceforge?)... but regardless, anything to help the community, I applaud you for helping people out... definitely no issue using my guide/links man.
In fact, I would applaud others to try and be this helpful.
Thanks! And yeah I know it's pretty similar, although it isn't completely finished and the guide will probably be changed over time. The custom kernels, modems, and themes section isn't finished either so that's an addition that should make this guide a bit better/helpful.
Sent from my SGH-T959 (Samsung Vibrant)
So community, give me your input... What do you think? Is the guide any good? Missing something?
Thanks both of you. I've just thanked all the posts that i can on this thread.
I don't exactly need this, but the new people do. People want something new to try, but their afraid if they flash miui, will they brick their phones because they don't know what to do? Those questions people's curiosity back. These kinds of threads make it possible for people who don't know how to do it to be able to enjoy something new, a fresh rom that they've never seen.
thanks again guys.
Thanks for your positive input it, really means a lot

Not really sure anyone is actually reading this guide to notice, but I've updated the MIUI COMPATIBLE KERNELS, MIUI COMPATIBLE MODEMS, and MIUI THEMES sections. If you know of any other modems or kernels not shown that are compatible with MIUI please tell me and I will add them to the list. Also, if there's a well made MIUI theme you think should be added to the list tell me and I will add it to the list also.
Nice write up!

You're welcome.
OK, the guide has been updated to include how to bypass the bootloop.
Backup your EFS folder also, better safe than sorry.
Awesome wish this guide was available a few weeks ago when I had flashed MiUi!
Also, not that there is a real threat with MiUi messing up the EFS folder but I think it might be wise to include instructions for backing up the /efs and nv_data.bin, imei etc. Better safe than sorry.

Actually MIUI automatically backs up the efs, imei, and nv_data.bin. Just look for the "backup" folder on the internal sd card.
i am new to this rom...coming from CM7
wat i did was basically flashing MIUI stock on top of CM7 without ODIN back to JFD. not too sure what will be the consequences in doing so but so far im running fine except for the phone at times not able to detect my external sd card (micro SD)
i am saving up this post for future use as well. donwloaded all the file too just in case my phone goes bonker.
thanks a lot cos ur post help me to understand MIUI rom better!
Keeps on FC!
Why does it keep on FC?! It was fine until I restored all my apps+data. I didn't click system apps. So I don't know why it keeps FC on me.
Is it ok if we skip steps? Like if we already rooted it can we just go to the flashing part or do we have to flash back to stock and do the ODIN thing and everything?
Can someone please help me? Thank you!
^ best to odin to JFD when changing from one rom to another. Clean is always better. Especially if you are talking about FC's.
For those talking about the EFS backup, CM7 automagically does this on flash. I would assume MIUI does as well, but maybe it does not. If it doesn't, it should.
@Lurker!
Whenever flashing a new ROM you should use Odin to return to stock. If you don't return to stock your previous ROM may conflict with the newly flashed ROM and cause issues like FC's, data issues, etc... Also, *none* of the steps should be skipped in the guide, especially steps 2-7.
@s15274n
By the way you are correct, MIUI automatically backs up the efs. I just went looking around my internal sd card and found a folder called "backups" containing a backup of the efs. Thanks for pointing that out.
Sent from my SGH-T959 (Samsung Vibrant)
This ROM features a stable enviroment [the most stable tested by me so far], with the least number of bugs (with 366BB), and probably one of the best performances.
Features: This ROM provides a default Portrait screen, it also has as the stock theme - TouchWizzedB (It looks like the Samsung ROM's, don;t know why i like it)
It features BeatsAudio, Bravia Engine and xLoud,
IIt provides a bootanimation and sound provided by Madhacker.
(if the bootsound is not on and you really want it, enter in terminal enablebootsound)
It also provides as the default launcher - GO Launcher Ex.
You can add [highlight]software[/highlight] capacitive buttons in the taskbar - thanks to nom051205 < Zip below
It was tweaked for daily use.
Skype has not been fully fixed, but i found a workaround, after rebooting, call someone, or a number like 444 then close, it should work, tested multiple times and it worked, i'm going to try and make a script to get rid of this step. (sometimes it works without doing a thing, so i think it is about luck )
Also, skype seems to leave the speaker on after singning out creating a huge battery drain, if you experience this kind of issue please remove your Skype and install this one, then go to advanced settings (in skype) > sound settings > disable sign-in/out sounds and Force speaker off after calls.
With those workarounds provided above, you should have a seamless experience with Skype..
FAQ:Q: Does it have USSD fix/Gapps/Phoenix Kernel?
Yes
Q: Is the WiFi stable?
With 366BB i have no problems with WiFi stability.
Q: Do i have to do a full factory reset if i come from other CM7 ROM?
No, just wipe dalvik cache, full factory reset is a must if you come from DSC/FroYo/Official 2.3.3.
Q: How do i flash 366BB?
You put your device in Fastboot, connect the USB and use a tool provided here or here.
Q: I can't install the ROM! Installation Aborted! (yeah, yeah, this is not a question..)
Open the zip file then you will see a folder, go into the folder, select all (meta.inf; system; boot.img) and re-zip those files and name it LXdroid 0.x.zip then flash it.
Credits to nom051205 for using his post almost copy-paste.
Q: What's wrong with Swype? It just FC's?
Install it manually, this should do the trick, you can find swype.apk in a link below.
Bootsound/Bootanimation Script Commands
Terminal commands for scripts:
enablebootsound - enables bootsound
bootsoundoff - turns bootsound off
bootsoundon - turns bootsound on after being turned off
newbootsound - /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 is copied as new bootsound
newbootanim - /sdcard/bootnanimation.zip is copied as new boot animation
(Probably you need to type su before those scripts, just saying...)
Credits go here.
Note: This is my first ROM, feedbacks and head-ups/tips would be welcomed in order to tweak it further.

You can upgrade to higher versions of LXdroid ROM without losing your data, just wipe Dalvik Cache!
LXdroid ROM 0.2 is provided as standalone flashable zip, it doesn't need 0.1 in order to work.
Download link: LXdroid ROM 0.2
Download link LXdroid ROM 0.1 (old, useless, not needed)
Download link swype.apk
Hotfixes for LXdroid 0.2 for Autobrightness FC and xLoud and Bravia permissions found here!
Quick tutorial aka Roadmap to a Custom ROM -Download ADB/Fastboot tools + Drivers from here. (You need to install the drivers before you begin).
-Download MultiRecoveryFlasher from here.
-Download MultiBasebandFlasher from here or download dsp and baseband flasher by n0p and StreakOwner from here.
-Download a custom ROM like DSC (most stable in my opinion), Longhorn or, the one provided here.
Now let's get started for real!
1-Install the drivers.
2-Put your streak in fastboot by turning the phone off and after that powering on by holding down volume + power button.
3-Open MultiRecoveryFlasher and flash StreakMod recovery. Reboot.
4-Put your streak again in fastboot.
5-Open MultiBasebandFlasher and flash 366BB or the script provided alternatively (does the job all by itself ). Reboot.
6-Enter Recovery by turning the phone off and then powering on holding up volume + down volume + power button.
7-Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on Sd Card"
8-A Dell logo and an attention will appear, press power button once to show the menu.
9-Hit advanced to mount sdcard via PC, so the SD card will appear in you PC via recovery.
10-Copy the ROM you downloaded to the sdcard (preferably to root).
11-Hit back in recovery, choose install sdcard updade.zip, then choose zip from sdcard, browse for your zip, and hit the camera button then select yes.
12-After the installation is completed, hit back to the main screen of the recovery, and choose wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then choose advanced, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery status.
13-(It is recommended to reboot again and do a factory reset from the dell recovery, White Letters)
14-The system will take some time to boot up, but you are done, enjoy your custom ROM.-------------------------------In my opinion the fastest and easiest way to get a custom ROM--------------------------------------------------

You can see the CPU settings, freq's and governors but you can't change them from the CM settings, i've included AnTuTu CPU Master Free in the ROM, and the locksreen it works fine on Ring and Lense, Rotary and Sliding Tab are small and aligned to the left. so i would say that no, it doesn't have them fixed as i didn't needed them, but maybe i will look into it.
Personally i use Ring Style at lockscreen and dial screen, with one ring only at lock and the default Freqs (128-998 mhz , Conservative).

You can use alternative software, as i mentioned, there is SetCPU or CPU Master Free, and CPU Master doesn't stay always on in RAM and you can set it to Set frequencies on boot
I think that CM frequiencies support must be added from the kernel, so i don't think i can do something about it

Hello!
I like the ROM!
Only the Longhorn 2.9.1 Quadrant 2300 points for that!
The LXdroid only 0.1 points in 1408.
Well, it's a huge difference.
Test Battery, but the IGO primo 9 to be strong!
This looks like a very fast everything works properly (from my experience it!)

I made this ROM without testing Quadrant,i never trusted that benchmark , i tested with AnTuTu Benchmark and it is not a big difference from Longhorn to LXdroid, i still need to tweak something more, but the overall feel is smooth as butter in my experience and the battery life is just great for me.

IMPORTANT!
1 - There are two versions of the rom, one is always complete and must be downloaded and installed first the other is merely update will come every Saturday and is only for those who already have installed the full rom.
2 - How to F2FS the system is not yet official in nexus 5 do not recommend installing packages via recovery because most will want to mount the system on ext4 so in this case I suggest editing the installation script.

you have two options:
1 - Install Philz by TWRP and use it according to my instructions;
2 - Install the rom following the instructions TWRP (the latest version supports f2fs).
Sweet! I'll give it a go later.

Awesome so glad to see a full f2fs friendly ROM, it saves me time trying to either run a script or use the app and troubleshoot which kernel works with what, I hope to see more like this and look forward to updates as they come
Quick edit: @davidsonsjesus is there a way to enable some of the elemental x options like exfat and wake gestures (using xposed module)? Or is there a reason for the way you have them set?

6/21 update only, ie, if this is your first installation you must install the full and then upgrade if already installed the full just install the 6/21 which is just an update.

I have been use your rom for a while,it's real nice.Thanks a lot for your work dude!??
Hey man, great work on getting this ROM working, everything is great for me with the exception of one issue I've been having: I am trying to use a kernel other than the ElementalX1.00 kernel and every one of the f2fs AOSP kernels i've tried doesn't let me boot past the Google boot screen. It just sits there.
Is there something I'm missing? Is anyone else having this problem?

To run this rom have changed beyond the original kernel Carbon (which already has support f2fs but inactive) also su. The ElementalX (duly amended) is what makes it tick. Beyond this I could boot the uber (also appropriately amended).
I intend to eventually make it available to a converter that converts the roms in rom f2fs using your own kernel (logical that not all will be compatible) and those tested so far to boot in Carbon, Liquid and Purity, unable AOKP, Paranoid and Gummy (yet) . Also a specific converter for whoever uses roms f2fs convert any package installed via recovery, of course it can be done manually but simply do automated way is better.
Thanks for the quick response! I am for the most part happy with elementalx, but have had better benchmarking and smoothness with LaboDJs Linaro-Franco kernel, so I was really hoping to pair this ROM with it to see what happened, especially since it has -O3 optimization etc etc. Anyway, can't wait for the next build, I'm very happy with this rom so far!
Edit: Thank you for recommending Uber Kernel. I went ahead and flashed it and I am much more satisfied with it than I thought I would be. It has MANY options for different governors and schedulers. AWESOME!
version 7.14.24 available see the post
[QRCODE][/QRCODE]Hello!
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently, RC8, 3.0.2-0, and 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG.
I have added a few mods to it.
FEATURES
**Multi-user working!
**This ROM is deODEXd
**Has init.d support
**Modified build.prop for better performance and hardware utility
**Removed bloatware (including that HORRID Lookout)
**Force encrypt disabled
**New kernel built-in.
**Based off 3.18.31 from @jcadduono source (thanks so much)!
**Added in the blu_active governor and set as default (via post_boot)
**No-op scheduler is default, and recommended
**Updated build.prop for better Hotspot support.
**More build.prop tweaks
**init.d support baked into the kernel
**Battery life should be noticeably improved, with no loss of performance (maybe even a bit faster).
**No need to wipe anything. System and caches are automatically wiped.
**Updated to SuperSU 2.78 SR4
**Updated boot and shutdown animation to the Android 7 default (thanks @freeza )
**More bloat removed
** Now includes more performance tweaks.
**Full Busybox support included!
**Fixed updater-script and binary
**Removed Sony Bravia/Xperia Engine
**Zen_Decision HotPlug enabled by default. (This will improve battery life, especially when your screen is off)
**TCP Congestion controller set to Westwood+ (improved download speeds)
**KCAL Color Control! Plus the Color Control app! Thanks to @savoca for KCAL and the app! Thanks to @freeza for the updated KCAL.c source file
**IO Stats for scheduler turned off
**IO Read ahead set to 2048kb
**Added init.d scripts to optimize your phone, and keep it fast over time.
**VPN is fixed!
**Gallery locked files are fixed!
**Bluetooth and FM should be fixed!
**No hotspot or ADB debug issues!
**More things I can't remember.
Kernel built on the Linaro 6.1.1 x86_x64 toolchain
Thanks to @imucarmen for getting me the IMG files, and for testing.
Latest: v5.6
The only change in 5.6 is the addition of LGMessage. Somehow this ROM did not include a text messaging app... WTF? So I added it in from my H918. v5.6 is a full ROM, not just an update. You do not need to be on 5.1 first. Just flash 5.6 and good to go.
v5.5 changes below
v5.5 is intended only for people already on v5.1. It will not wipe anything, and your phone will not need to do its initial setup. 5.5 is an update only! You must first flash 5.1, then 5.5. You can tell TWRP to flash files in sequence, so it's no hassle. ZIP no longer checks your device, so be sure that you are flashing for the model the sticker on the phone says that it is.
Here are the changes for v5.5:
Removed boot state verification. This allows your device to pass CTS on SafetyNet. That means that you are able to use a root hide program, or maybe full unroot within SuperSU, and apps like Android Pay and Pokemon GO will work. They will never work if root is detected, no matter what.
Used more independent defconfig lines, hopefully static will go away... I highly doubt it, might even cause a no-boot issue. If it does, just tell me and I'll fix it up.
The main changes here are even more battery saving
**some voltage control preparations (still not active)
**added a DNS resolver module to maybe help some people with hotspot.
**Bluetooth and FM should work even better than before (hopefully not worse lol)
** C-states are made aware in the kernel, so sleeping should be more effective, while waking up should be more snappy.
More things. Do it!
Can confirm Pokemon GO and Android Pay work perfectly. Just need to hide root.
Use the app attached.
Checkmark where it says "Stop all su daemons"
Reboot
Open RootSwitch again, and the checkmark should still be there, click disable root, and test with an app called SafetyNet Helper Sample from Play Store. When root is disabled, SafetyNet test will pass with a full green screen.
When you are done playing, you can enable root again. The game checks every so often, so root needs to be disabled to play for X amount of time.
Here are the changes for v5:
**ViPER4Android is preinstalled
**Kernel updates to latest sources (no changes other than updates)
**Included Titanium Backup pre-installed. I highly recommend getting the license, this program rocks, and never has ads. With a license you can do batch functions, and theres more features.
**Included Kernel Adiutor to prepare future kernel updates (CPU/GPU under+over clocking later on). You can also use this to tweak I/O settings, governor, screen color). Everything should run pretty good as it is, but what I do, is set read_head in I/O to 2048, and disable I/O Stats. I also set it on boot. I do not recommend modifying any CPU or GPU frequencies since there are no changes in the kernel to allow for that.
**Updated to latest Super SU
No need to wipe anything. If you are on stock ROM, ODEXd or deODEXd, or any other NRD90M ROM, you don't need to wipe, the ZIP will take care of everything for you. /data will not be wiped, so all your old apps and settings will be there. Internal storage is of course untouched.
For anyone interested in my color options, they are:
My new settings are:
All 3 colors at 256
Saturation 68
Value 129
Contrast 127
Know that I love deep, rich, vibrant colors. Also, changing colors will not change effects on pictures taken! This is post-processing. Your phone's screen is what changes, not the files that you create.
Note: Adding saturation (vibrance) will always give some sort of color banding -especially since KCAL is post-processing. You can minimize color banding by ever-so-slightly reducing gamma (read as "Value" in the Color Control app), and by ever-so-slightly fine-tuning Contrast. The value changes would be minimal, and the color banding will only be reduced ever-so-slightly, but this is just how it is. Nonetheless, the device looks friggin amazing with the color options set.
Having issues? Read below.
I need you guys to hear me out on this...
I do not have this phone, I cannot do any sort of testing, nor do I keep up with your rooting method.
That said, I cannot fix things that were broken due to the bootloader (such as Static Boot), so if WiFi calling did not work for you after flashing the custom bootloader, please don't ask if it is fixed... I do not know how to fix it. When/if it is fixed, I will let you guys know that it is fixed and who to thank for said fix.
Additionally, I need you to tell me things that do not work. I might not be able to get to all messages, or questions, so if you see that I did not reply, ask again and again until I do... I will reply and answer (obviously don't spam). Be sure to quote me, mention me, or message me. I do not check-in with these threads, just the H918 thread. If you do not send me a notice, I will not know that my attention is needed.
What issues that are ROM-related, not user-related can you report? You will know it is user-related if you modified anything in the phone/ROM.
If you flashed a different kernel, I cannot help you; flash back to the NSS kernel, and re-test.
If you are unsure about an issue, do a clean flash (in TWRP: Wipe-->Advanced-->select Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache (DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE OR SDCARD)-->Swipe to wipe-->Install ROM-->boot phone, do not change or install anything. Retry your issue, if it is fixed, great. If it persists, go into your SD Card, and Internal Storage, remove the folders called "Android" and ".android_secure", reboot and try again. Still doesn't work? Mention me and post it here.
Remember, you can backup your USER apps in Titanium Backup (do NOT backup system apps, or restore system apps/system data).
You can also backup your existing setup and apps in TWRP so you can flash back to your original setup. This is good if you did a clean flash, and your problem is still there, you can restore your backup and be like nothing was changed.
Thanks @zhuhang for V4A!
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP
Viper4Android is included! To enable, run the app, and configure how you please!
More to come (as I learn to do it)
Please make any requests. If it is not too difficult, I will learn how to, and add it to the MODDED ROM!

Source for kernel is at (need to update)https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_lge_msm8996/tree/android-7.0-security
Thanks to @jcadduono for the amazing original source he made for us ( you can find it here : https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_lge_msm8996/tree/android-7.0-security
Awesome!! Cant wait to use this.
Request: speaker mod, Google assistant, and volume up/down to skip tracks when main screen is off.

Note to all. You will notice that the theming option is missing from the settings under home. Don't fret! Theming is still in the Rom you just need to add a shortcut for it. I'm personally using Nova Prime and assigning an activity for the theming app so it makes an app icon. There are independent apps in the store that can do this as well.
Just a heads up for those of you using themes and wondering how to apply them.
@Tilde88 so a hot reboot let's you see the boot animation and I wanted to let you know it needs scaled down. It's way too large and actually is blurry because of it.

The bootanimation is the right size, as it is the same that I use for the other models. There is something fishy with your bootloaders after doing that conversion thing. I don't fully understand it.

I see. Just letting you know the things I'm seeing. I hot reboot on the US996 rom and the boot animation was normal size. On the vs995 the word android is gigantic. It spans from edge to edge of the display and looks like a size 26 font lol

Kernel crashed @Tilde88 I was using some custom settings so maybe that's why. I was underclocking and using the Blu Active gov and the zen hotplug.
Any chance of a Sprint ROM?

I don't understand what you are saying. Lot's of typos. Also, over/underclocking does not stick, as it is not unlocked in the kernel.

lol it was only one typo. Made should have been maybe.
According to Kernel Adiutor it's sticking. I have the cpu max clock set to 1920 and it never goes above it.

Do you need them from the stock Sprint phone or does it matter that I flashed the stock deodexed on my phone?

Perhaps. Definitely, I would try downloading a new copy. I didn't have any issues flashing.
Can you guys tell me if you are having USB issues when plugging in to your PC. Trying to figure out if the ROM has a bug or if someone has a driver issue.
Thanks.
No issues here connecting to computer through usb.

Um, this ROM and kernel is built for the VS995, so if the sticker on your phone says VS995, flash it.
