Devs, can anyone look into if this could be good use to our prime?
I Dont have much time to look into this, but hopefully someone capable will..
This was implanted in the WSG rom (now discontinued), from what I saw, it did help a lot, everything became smoother compared to the stock rom.
I tried v6 supercharger on my LG Optimus 2x and it made the difference. Would it be dangerous trying it on a simply rooted TFP on stock?

No, just don't set Script Manager to run it on boot until you've confirmed that it works. There's nothing to lose.

Yeah it would be nice to have this running on stocked, rooted primes untill better updates come out.
From what i understand you have to de compile service.jar and edit a file in there.
Re pack the file n replace the original service.jar with it
Then run the supercharge script.
Doesnt seem to be too complicated.
I will def be looking into this when i have the time, was just hoping someone with better knowledge can look into this sooner.

That is all you have to do. I personally use it on all of my devices. I would attach my services.jar for you but I'm not 100% sure the one on Wookie will be identical. It is a pretty painless process but if you need any assistance send me a pm.

Is it necessary that work on the service.jar? I've always run supercharger without it, simply using terminal emulator.

as the tutorial suggested (from the original dev thread), post ICS roms has the app's "priority"(for lack of better explanation) built-in to service.jar.
so unless you are running a deodex rom (which is not the case for our stock prime), you will have to re-compile service.jar in order to take full
benefit of this super charge script.
i think i will try to looking to it tonight, to see if i can get something going lol. i'm no dev by any mean.

After reading more into the tutorial, i think that the script that the original supercharge dev is providing has the service.jar patching included.
Meaning we dont have to manually edit the file etc etc, just run the script and everything is automated.
But i 'm not comfortable of running the script on my prime, as mine is locked and i have no way of creating a backup incase something go south and i
Ended up with a boot loop....
So i guess if anyone has done this on their locked prime with success, please post and share, sorry for calling for devs, as i initially thought this
Would involved some modification to system files..
P.s. i'm by no mean trying to encourage anyone to run this if they are not comfortable, just that i havent seen anyone bring this up, and thought it may
Be able to give our primes a little bit more boost if confirmed that is safe and working.

Maybe you can recover from a potential bootloop could by installing the whole original firmware via the sdcard method. It could be done, right?

When i first rooted my prime i uninstalled some system apps (asus's bloatware) and, since i wasn't able to update to .21 (dead droid screen during the installation) i did a factory reset: during setup configuration, at one point, after signing in my google account, setup configuration force closed everytime, so i had to send it to Asus to fix. After i had RMAed it, somebody suggested me the update from sd trick. So i think (but i'm not 100% sure) that if that trick can work without system apps it should also work with managed system files, since it doesn't matter your system at all.

I have removed all the files from this post and I encourage everyone to migrate to DizzyDen's superior solution. If for some reason you are unable to use Dizzy's tool you can PM DizzyDen or myself (Martian21) and one of us should be able to get you want you need.
********************************************************************************
[Original Thread]
I have seen several threads regarding this topic and thought I'd try to consolidate as much as I can in one place.
Credit for the original IMEI work goes to mthe0ry His original thread is here.
Because the NOOK Color is not a phone it does not have an IMEI number. This is why some apps that check for an IMEI number do not work on the NOOK.
Thanks to the work of mthe0ry and now DizzyDen it is possible to modify the framework.jar file in order to create a fake IMEI number on the NOOK Color. Doing so will allow programs such as Swype Beta, the free version of the XDA app, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app to work on the NOOK Color.
Unfortunately you need to have a framework.jar file that matches the ROM you are running as changes to the framework between ROMs can (and probably will) cause problems.
[See DizzyDen's thread for the IMEI generator tool]
*** This is mostly obsolete now that Dizzy's tool handles replacing the framework.jar file and backs up your original file - but I will leave it here just in case it is still useful to someone. ***
Installation:
You will need a file manager with Root access such as Root Explorer.
Download the framework.jar file for your Rom.
Unzip the file and transfer the framework.jar file to your NOOK Color.
Navigate to /System/framework using Root Explorer.
Mount the /System/framework folder R/W.
Rename the original framework.jar to framework.jar.bak.
Using Root Explorer, copy the new framwork.jar file.
Paste the modified framework.jar into /System/framework.
Long press the newly copied framework.jar and select "Permissions".
Change the permissions to match framework.jar.bak [rw-r--r--].
Mount the /System/framework folder R/O.
I recommend you reboot your NOOK although resetting the launcher may be enough.
For those that used my original files or the ones from mthe0ry, the original IMEI used in those files is "12-34567-89012-45". If you wish to continue using this IMEI number [NOT RECOMMENDED] you can manually enter it into Dizzy's tool.

I know that nightly 78 was the last nightly that runs on .29 kernel all the new nightlys 80,82,83 and 84 need uboot 1.2 and .32 kernel. I have read that some people have been experiencing problems on these builts. Also being that .32 kernel is still label beta i would like to ask you if you could please make a framework for nightly 78. I have attached the framework file from my nightly 78. Thank you
Finally was able to reboot after copying framework82. Was able to sign in but have yet to play a movie. I get stuck in the spinning circle.

I did a total wipe, stock 1.2 install, then a second total wipe before n82. I then added the modded framework and HBO GO worked really well! But, after adding Dal's 5/13 OC, I then got the spinning circle problem you describe.
I tried re-flashing just n83 to fix it (without Dal's OC), and re-installing the modded framework, but the spinning circle problem remains.
I can't say for sure that the OC kernel broke it -- it could be one of a dozen apps I installed? -- but it's certainly the leading culprit in my case. The 5/13 OC kernel also appeared to break a few of my other apps as well (360 Live failed too, but started working again after I returned to vanilla n83).
I'm going to start the entire process over again tonight to try and narrow down the problem...
I have the 5/13 OC installed but HBO GO is now working on my Nook. Just need to uninstall and reinstall HBO GO. Worked like a charm for me.

I do appreciate your warning (and, as always, all your hard work), but Dal came out and stated plainly that an IMEI solution would not get added to cm7 builds, so the rest of us took his word for it and had to solve the problem some other way.
Now, if you're saying that the solution WILL be built into one of the next few nightlies -- with unique IMEI's -- then that's fantastic!!
However, without it, there's currently no other way to run HBO GO, Swype, etc -- unless we compile our own framework.jar... which isn't an option for some of us noobs.
Has work already begun on a better solution?

This is great news!!!
I will cease and desist as soon as it it completed. Obviously the best thing would be for people to follow mthe0ry's instructions and do this themselves (it's really not that hard) using their own unique IMEI number. That said I'm happy to continue the "hack" method for those who don't wish to do it themselves.
Yes, having multiple devices with the same IMEI could become problematic but so far it's worked for the apps people want. I do appreciate the warning as I probably wasn't as clear about the "hack" nature of this in the OP as I should have been.

please disregard below. in reading the thread better I can see it's not for swype at all but for setting the nook up with an IMEI.
I don't mean to be rude, but why not just use slide-it? I'm cognisant of the simplicity of swype as I use it daily on my Galaxy S, but slide-it is nearly as good and works without fault on the nook (rooted stock and CM7) without any mods.

Concerns about unique devices make me wonder... I have a broken HTC Kaiser sitting on a shelf above my desk. It will never again be a functional device, but yet it has it's own unique IMEI.
Does the IMEI alone tell apps anything about what sort of device belongs to the number? If not, then it seems that I could use the IMEI from that Kaiser or the broken G1 I have.
It doesn't seem like these apps know anything about the device from the IMEI alone, given that people have been implementing this fix with no repercussions. That means apps probably don't check any hypothetical IMEI-device info against what's recorded in the build.prop, so this seems like a safe, workable solution for those of us with defective devices on our shelves.
Is there a way to make this work on a ManualNootered nook with 1.2, or does it only work if you have a custom rom.
Thanks
integrate in CM7
could you not ask the maintainers of CyanogenMod to integrate this in the future nightlies?
they would probably welcome the added functionality

What's wrong with RC7? I installed it successfully on my phone, and it runs. Can't tell much of a difference though.
Is there something specific installation error that you are running into, or do you have a way to check if the script is running correctly? If I try to run /data/99Supercharger.sh again, it tells me the my phone is already supercharged and to verify that "Ran_Supercharger" exists in /data, which it does.
After installing Balance 3, I see no difference in the Go Launcher. LauncherPro is better than ever, and my battery life is now really good.
So... it sort of worked.

And there is some question as to which pdt we should be using.

Super charger us the best mod to improve speeded etc. however this is my second phone that after super charging my phone doesn't shut down all the way. If i power off then plug it in., it reboots. Also wifi constantly looses data connection. Both issues are related to one of the supercharger tweaks just not sure which one is causing it. Maybe home bullet proof.

*Updated to Sensation fingerprint*
Can't download or even play certain apps or games such as Gameloft's N.O.V.A.3?
Follow the below steps to make your HTC ETO 4G LTE disguise itself as a HTC Sensation to get the best of the Google Play Store.
Tested working on stock ROM with Root and SU.
Modern Combat 3, N.O.V.A. 3 tested to work perfectly. All other Gameloft games should work and show up in market.
Please note, if you have a custom ROM, you probably do not want to use this. It will overwrite your ROM creator's settings. It will probably work, but it will take away certain features of their build.prop tweaks.
Users are saying that this kills Google Wallet. I cannot confirm this since I don't use it. Use at your own risk. Please update us if it does or not.
You must be rooted!
BACKUP YOUR CURRENT BUILD.PROP
1. Clear Google Play Store Data (Settings, Apps, All, Google Play Store, Clear Data)
2. Download the build.prop I have attached at the end of this post.
3. Unzip it
4. Use a file explorer such as ES File Explorer and navigate up to /system
5. Copy and paste it over your current build.prop in/system
6. Reboot phone
Clear as mud
*Edit*
Removed manual way to update (Hardcore DIY'ers can Google it)
Updated build.prop to HTC Sensation (pyramid). Apps were showing up before with the Galaxy SII build.prop changes, but downloaded files weren't compatible with our phone. Sensation makes for a better fingerprint.
Thanks for this! Only one thing:
People need to understand that if they're not on the stock ROM (that this build.prop is based off of) that they are risking losing whatever modifications their ROM devs added into build.prop.
Different devs do different things in there....blindly replacing your ROM's build.prop is usually a bad idea.

True... which is why it's important to manually make the change to the build.prop on your rom. Takes a little work, but worth it.
If you follow these instructions, you cant mess it up.

Meaning anything that's not stock. Viper, PokeROM, Fresh, whatever.
Each developer tends to make their own build.prop edits. If you just make the changes to the stock build.prop that the OP attached and you're running any custom ROM you're overwriting whatever they may have done. Unless your Dev puts the change into his/her ROM, or someone makes a flashable zip for you, for your ROM, just grabbing a random build.prop and using it because it has the edits you want is a bad idea.
I'm using Joelz9614 rom just manually edit. A safe rule is never paste over the prop when you can do the edits yourself if you're not sure if it's modded

so i screwed up! i edit manually didnt work maybe i mis spelled.. and then thought i could just flash that build prop posted...and i had just flashed FRESH 5.0 and just kinda now read that i should have changed the build prop with that rom untill the developer had that built in.. any ideas what the hell i can do now?

OPen the zip for the Fresh ROM, go to /system and pull out build.prop. Push that to your phone, and change the permissions.
Or, flash Fresh over your current installation without wiping.
You could push the original build.prop to your phone from the Rom you are using or reflash

You could reflash your ROM or ask the dev for this build.prop file to paste over your corrupted one.
it was a damn brick and i could even get to recovery screen... i did volume down and power and the bottom buttons would flash and then finally stopped i then press volume down and power and magiclly i got to the bootloader then the recovery and reflasheed
You removed the changes that needed to be made manually? I applied the Samsung changes and now would like to apply the new sensation changes. I guess I'll dig through the build.prop and check which lines are different
To the OP, why would you remove the changes to the file that can easily be done manually??? It's a simple mod that can be done. Users NOT in the know will replace their their file with yours, only to end up with a mess because they are on a different rom that has somewhat different parameters than what's in your attachment.

WANTED: Users to port SGS roms to the 4.0. You will need to know how to complete a full restore if something goes wrong, but that's it. I cannot go through the forums searching for good SGS roms, as I have several threads to manage, and a rom to work on. The steps are easy for you though, and if you port a rom I will add it in the OP.
First of all, I want to say that I take NO credit on any of these roms. All I did was port them over and add speed tweaks, or added ones that users have ported. If the rom creators or mods have any issue whatsoever with this thread, I will happily take it down, even though I think it would be a large contribution to the 4.0 community. I will continue to update this forum with info as I go along.
I, after a fortunate afternoon of boredom, have managed to successfully begin porting I9000 roms to our devices! Fortunately, they are similar enough that it boots without any modifications. I will put up here any ports that I make, and any that the users create. Note that these WILL NOT BE UPDATED! These are one-time ports, to be used and improved upon by the community. Anything that is broken now will stay broken, unless a user decides to fix/update it, then I will include it in the OP.
What *should* work in all ported roms:
wifi
GPS
home buttons
everything else
What will probably *not* work on ported roms:
Bluetooth
Camera
backlight on buttons
Ported roms:

To use these Roms:
You MUST use a Gplayer kernel! GT-I9000 kernels will not boot!
A full wipe may be necessary with some roms if you encounter issues.
Converting (for porters)
Steps:
1. Download wanted rom (must be GB)
2.Move the zip to the internal sdcard
3.Reboot into recovery
4.Flash zip, then boot into download mode
5.Flash a SGP kernel
6. apply my mod pack to the rom, by either copying/pasting the system directory over the SGS rom's system directory, or by pushing it via adb, (eg. adb push /path/to/modpack /system).
7. Profit!
NOTE: after applying this, porters may want to remove non-working packages such as the dialer and mms, as they may cause issues with the end result if they are kept in. Do not delete phone.apk though!! This is required for the camera and some other things, and breaks stuff on certain roms. You have been warned.
NOTE: If you use this modpack, please give me credit, and link back to this thread so that more people can use it. Also, you should probably link back to the ported rom's thread as well, to avoid "ripping off" those devs.
Modpack:
Changelog
V1-
Preliminary release
Fixes wifi and GPS
Includes v6 supercharger and init.d tweaks
V2-
fixed vold.fstab so sdcard is mounted properly.

NOTE:Note that this is preliminary. It fixes everything listed, and attempts to fix some broken things. Your mileage may vary. This is not a cwm flashable zip! you much extract and adb push this over the existing system directory. This is mainly intended for porters, so users apply at your own risk. This will work, but is a very early release.

Yeah, it says that because it includes semaphore's kernel, which raises the max rom to 380, which we could do on our kernel's, but apparently that breaks a lot of stuff if you go much further then 350 (according to klin).
is the wifi fixed in your port or do we have to do your fix after flashing?
Just a word of advice, make sure you get permission from the devs! Also surely this will work with ICS roms right? Just swap out the SGS kernel with the SGP CM7 kernel and it should work (I think)

Yeah, it is fixed before you flash. Once I manage to iron out a few more bugs, I will probably release a "conversion pack" that fixes all the issues. I already have one that fixes wifi and gps, but bluetooth and camera have me stumped, and I do not want to replace the entire hw/lib folder, because some of these roms have lib optimizations, but I may have to.

Since I am merely redistributing their work, not incorporaring it into anything I have made, or taking any credit for it, I don't asking permission is necessary. I may be completely off base, but I think that as long as you give devs 100% credit, and link to their original work, it is okay. It may not be the best option, but neither is asking EVERY dev if I can port their rom, or ask permission for user-ported roms.
Youay have an idea there, althouh I think that zaclimon has tried it, and he said it wouldn't boot. I have 2 efs backups, so I guess I can try, although even if the kernel boots, I bet I will have to do a LOT more work before it is usable. I also believe that he said the issues may have been rom based, so here it goes, and wish me luck.

I've already tried with a cm7 kernel and I got an error of looping (netd1.0 starting) that's why I'm trying to do something. Now I need to backport 3.0.8 usb gadget drivers.

Whoops, I meant you . I will try with a official cm9 build from the SGS forums, and see if that fares any better. Probably will not, but it doesn't hurt to try.
EDIT: well, nevermind about that. He seems to have pulled all of his download links, and I cannot get to the CM7 build. Oh well...
I am going to try anyway with the I9000 package since it seems to have EXT4 support, and I *think* that was what was bootlooping me earlier. This as all just my hopeful rationalization, of course . A lot farther out there, but maybe I can use a SGP5.0 kernel to get it booting. A LOT less likely, but hey, i'm experimenting .
EDIT: I cannot try ICS, since I need to reboot into recovery a second time, and I cannot do that, as I have the intl bootloader on my US device, and it would require it to be booting first.

I think we should do like entrophy's because I get bored from mtd. Also just tried the gamerz rom port. As I see the camera works, don't know about bluetooth (it can turn on). Vibration works too. I was able to connect to wifi pretty fast and I have one word for this rom. FAST!!!!
Good job!!

Well, thet camera shows a preview, but fails when a pic is taken, for some reason. Bluetooth does turn on, but is not seen by any other devices, and cannot scan for others either. I did do a little tweaking with Gamerz, so it will be even faster than it was already, which is pretty blazing! I have 2 more that I can put up (I have a preliminary package that I just adb push over the system files that works for now). I have also gotten the camera apk onto my rom, and it works really well! It doesn't take 5 MP pics, or record 720p video (which may be because I am using Terrasilent, which reduces the amount of Vram the system can have), but tap to autofocus and everything else works pretty well. I have a sneaking suspicion that the camera is soft limited, not hard-limited.
I also noted that the external sd card isn't working too (a problem with vold.fstab I'll correct it right now)

Okay, it seems that the zip hosed my partitions (converted them to yaffs2 and mtd), so I am going to perform a full restore, and just keep porting GB roms. As soon as you can get the usb gadget driver working, zaclimon, I guess I can keep working on it, but for now I will just keep to GB.
Two more roms up! I will probably not port any other unless I see an especially good one, but I will put up my mod pack tomorrow.
has anyone found out if the ported roms enable tv out or has someone found out if tv out support is in the i9000 kernal?
TV out has to have hardware, or your not going anywhere. I think the galaxy player lacks the hardware unfortunately. If it does have the hardware, it was very dumb of Samsung not to enable it.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
Update 1: 04-14-15 2121 hrs PDT. The update script doesn't work. The flash fails. I just tried it. I need to figure out where the problem is with the kitchen. I will take down the link for now.... Sorry guys.
Update 2: 04-15-15 0741 hrs PDT. In trying to figure out the issue with the kitchen, I broke the Ubuntu VM. I am in the process of rebuilding it, but that will take some time.
--------------------------------------
IF IT SEEMS LIKE I'M YELLING, IT IS BECAUSE I AM. THIS IS A PRE-PRE BETA BUILD. I AM NOT A DEV. I USED A KITCHEN THAT DOES NOT DIRECTLY SUPPORT THIS ROM. THIS IS BUILD WITH MY VERY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE. ANYTHING YOU DO WITH MY PRODUCT IS ALL ON YOU--YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE AND/OR BECOME STERILE. I JUST DON'T KNOW. IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO JACK UP YOUR PHONE AND STAY UP ALL NIGHT TO FIX YOUR PHONE, DON'T TRY THIS.
THIS BUILD MAY BE DOA. I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO FLASH OR TEST THIS, I JUST WANTED TO GET IT TO YOU GUYS ASAP. IT MAY NOT WORK AT ALL.
--This is a recovery flashable ROM
--[Should be] deodexed, if you see .odex files, they should be safe to delete
--zip aligned
--rooted (you will need to update SuperSU or maybe reapply CF Autoroot, update binary too)
--busybox and init.d support
--startup sound disabled
--includes modem/baseband
Step 1) Make nandroid/backup, backup your data again, and have a backup for your backup
A) If you're on my KK ROM
--download and flash via recovery
--wipe cache/dalvik
--reboot and pray
--if all works, phone will start w/ Lollipop and all your apps, you should have the OC8 baseband too, the only thing you don't have is the latest bootloader, which is okay most of the time. If you want that too, flash the stock package (see below).
B) If you OTA'd or odin'd the stock package
--root and install recovery
--go to A)
C) If you're on KK and want the LP bootloader
--odin the stock package (from my other thread)
--odin recovery
--go to A)
Let me know how it works out. Like I said, I just wanted to get this out ASAP. I have done exactly zero testing. No idea how it will work out. The instructions above are based on memory and off of the top of my head. If this doesn't work, restore from your backup and let me know, and I'll deodex using my old tried-and-true methods (which is much more time consuming).
Again, I want to manage your expectations. I have no confidence that this will work. If it does, it's a miracle! Good luck to us all....
Oh yea, the link [taken down for now]

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I have been working on fixing the kitchen when I have time. If that doesn't work, I'll do it the traditional way, which is to extract the ROM manually, and deodex, etc. I don't do this often, so I have to figure things out each time. This will get done because I can't live without root and I can't live without Xposed customization. I am off to a business trip tomorrow, so I won't pick this up again until next Thursday or Friday. Thanks for your patience.
After a few hours of work, I got the VM and kitchen running again. I have also resolved the symlink issue. Instead of doing the work on a shared folder with the host, I expanded the VM Linux partition and do all the work there.
The updater script generated by the kitchen does not work. I suspect this is because of the unsupported kitchen.. I will try to use the script from the NK1 ROM. That should work fine.
I've run into something that I don't quite understand. I expect to see the \system\app and \system\priv-app to be full of apks and odex files. When I extracted the ROM, these two folders contain one sub-folder for each of the apk, containing the app apk and other folders. For example, for Maps:
system\app\maps\maps.apk
system\app\maps\arm\maps.odex.art.xz and maps.odex.xz
system\app\maps\lib\arm\*.so files
During odin or OTA, I believe a script would properly install these files. The traditional kitchen extraction doesn't provide for that. Because of this, I think I will need to first odin the stock package, run a nandroid, and use that as the basis for making the deodexed/rooted ROM.
At this time, if anyone can shed some light on what I am seeing, it would be helpful.
It would also be helpful if someone who has already OTA'ed or odin'd the Lollipop package, and have installed TWRP/CWM, can nandroid the /system and boot, and send those files to me. (It does not matter if it is rooted or not). I am off to a business trip later today, so I won't be able to do anything until I get back next Thursday. If no one sends me the files, I'll odin to Lollipop and extract the files myself when I return.
Thanks.
