I have searched high and low about information regarding any custom roms for the Samsung Illusion (verizon) and Galaxy Proclaim (Straight Talk) for a while now. I know there is a root for it finally, but can anybody more knowledgable than myself help a) get the stock base image for the device as this would be a great starting place for basic tweaks, and b) develop a CM7 or perhaps CM9 based rom for this device? I know its not a high end phone by any means but it is a very capable phone for the price and fact that it runs on Straight talks no contract Verizon network. I don't know how to develop a rom at all but I am having rom flashing withdrawals after getting rid of my old Optimus V which had many customs ROMS including CM9/ICS. If any developer could help out with this I know many people including myself would be very grateful
we already have a stock base for the proclaim and are working on a new Rom for it, http:/androidarea51.com

I got in contact with somebody that does custom roms for phones and this is what he said: "I might to if I get more requests..."
If you would like a custom rom for The Samsung Galaxy Proclaim (Straight Talk) as I am pertaining to ICS 4.0 (Google Android OS), then request it through this website: http://www.roms-db.com/contact/
He will only take requests through this form of contact/request form!
I hope that this helped everyone in this forum and those like me that are helpless with this phone on XDA Developers!!

I sent a request asking for and ICS rom like CM9. Thanks. Let's hope more people are interested as well

I've very interested in some roms for this phone as well. It is my first android phone, I've already got it rooted but I would love to have ICS or CM9 on it. I think it would improve my battery life substantially.
Curious to know how development has come with this phone? I'll be picking one up on the 23rd and I bought one already for my husband yesterday. We are in the process of switching from Verizon to StraightTalk. (Gotta save money anywhere we can in this crappy economy)
All I know is that it is not the best phone that I had from Straight Talk, but it is the only smartphone through Verizon :thumbdown:

This isn't the only Verizon smartphone that Straight Talk has. In my local walmart they also carry an LG with a slide out keyboard, 3.2" touch screen and 800mhz processor. I purchased one and it seems to get better battery life than the proclaim. I got the proclaim one week and the LG wasn't there, but when I returned it was on the shelf next to it. I haven't been able to find it on their website yet though.
LG Phone?!

Does the LG phone have the Qwerty Slide Keyboard along with a Touchscreen? Is it a SmartPhone??
Just wondering if that is the same phone that I saw on Straight Talk for my area...

Yes slide out keyboard, with a touch screen, and its running android version 2.3.x i think. Its just lower than the version that the Proclaim is running which is 2.3.6

This is the phone you speak of..
LG OPTIMUS ZIP (L75C)
But yea, so guess still nothing on an ICS rom for Proclaim?
I have heard nothing yet as for the ics rom goes...
Sent from my SCH-S720C using xda premium
don't buy the zip over the proclaim!!! The ZIP has half the memory and you can only install a few apps before having run out of space (I have the Proclaim while my sister-in-law bought the ZIP). She wishes she would have gone with the Proclaim.
I'm also interested in custom ROMs for the Proclaim but don't see it happening...I still haven't rooted as some people are saying they have issues with wifi hotspot after rooting.
I can use FoxFi now without rooting for wifi hotspot.
updates?
Any updates on ANY roms for sch s720c? Somebody help! Lol
Root First?
While we're all waiting patiently for some roms... has anyone found a root method that DOES NOT disable the functionality of USB drive?
From what I've read, the root methods so far work, with the exception that afterwards, when you plug in your phone, it shows up as a CDROM drive.

I'm pretty down with the HTC One I just recieved yesterday, but the only thing that is bothering me is all this stupid junk AT&T stuck in there. The fact that I cannot tether either is a bit disheartening. I see there are a few ROMS in the developers subforum, but I haven't been able to check them out yet. Do any of those roms fit that description and if so, which one is the LEAST modified?
I've been using Android Revolution HD 6.0 from the international forums. Certain ROMs do work on our AT&T variants. It has basically everything that the standard Sense has, with tweaks. No AT&T bloatware. I've also been getting pretty awesome battery life. You may want to check it out.

If you do decide to try it, make sure to read the entire original post before you do. There is instructions in there about using the volume buttons to select items in the Aroma installer. If you don't, your install may freeze.
I'm hoping we'll be able to flash our AT&T Ones to turn them into the same thing as the Developer Edition that's sold directly by HTC. I've been keeping on eye out for news of this becoming reality but haven't seen anything so far...

if you have an unlocked bootloader its basically the same thing as the dev edition. and once we have S-OFF we will be able to flash official RUU's to the phone
Would the De-odexed ROM allow me to remove the crap AT&T put on the phone? If so, this will probably be the route I'll go, well, as soon as I get my extra dropbox space anyway.

Can't you use the tool kit (in the Android Development section) to root and uninstall via Titanium? I've always done that with stock roms in the past.

Nope the System partition is write protected, so once you reboot all the crap comes back.
+1 for ARHD 7.0, running flawlessly. I'm totally new to Android and flashing ROMs, the ARHD dev and the threads over in the international forum make the whole process easy to learn. I played with the phone for about 2 hours before I became completely fed up with the AT&T claws dug into every aspect of the software, coming from an iPhone I had not realized how bad the bloatware problem has become.

Yeah, what really got me was that even after a day or two of using the phone, the AT&T Address book sync message would still pop up. I had already declined it and stopped any syncing to it. Then, to top it off, after I had already been on several long calls using the phone, the CityID message pops up saying that I'm now in a trial period? It made me decide to go ARHD without a regret. De-bloated, stable, and battery is great for me.
Also went with ARHD. Working wonderfully so far.
Everyone can flash Int'l ROMs with no trouble. ARHD is a great ROM with a great Dev. Give it a try. A make sure you read before you start complaining about LTE signal strength.. The official ATT ROMs fake your signal to make it look better than it is. The Int'l ROMs are the actual strength.

Thanks for the tid bit!! I'm thinking about this ROM as well. The only thing I really need though is Wifi Tethering. Do you know if it can do it without paying AT&T for it? I'm sure some ROMS will have it soon enough. I would even use FOXFI if it would work.
With the ONE I just can't seem to get around AT&T. I'm in the ball park like many others who think tethering should be free. I get the whole "you are paying just for your phone service" and not your laptop or ipad and such; I just don't agree with it, so won't ever pay for it. I'll pay for MP3's, I'll pay for Apps, I just don't think I should line AT&T's pockets for something I already pay for "DATA".
Ok Rant Over. I got out of control there. I apologize.

With ARHD you can turn on Mobile Hotspot and everything I just don't know if ATT will pick up if you're using it. I know with CM, I've used tethering and ATT never said a thing to me. So I'm guessing use it till they send you something.

I posted a ATT Wifi hotspot mod in the dev section yesterday for stock/rooted (deodexed or odexed)
Also - I may be off base, but as far as debloating is concerned, we should be able to do this with an updater script in a recovery flashable package where it's just deleting the packages we don't want. As long as it's done in recovery it should stick on reboot. If we want to start a list of what should be removed, I can put a script together to remove them via recovery and we'll see how it works. (Edit - Working on it now)
Edit: well it removed them from /system/apps, but a few are still showing installed. Guess we'll have to get rid of the data they've created as well? Still playing... either way i managed to get these out of /system/app/:
ATT Device Help, Address Book Sync, Amazon Kindle, CityID, Drive Mode, Family Map, Hot Spot (ATT's), Locker, Messages (ATT's), myATT, navigator (ATTs), Promo Widget, Ready2go, SmartWifi, YPmobile
Sill playing..
Edit: Almost there...
Running Renovate on my AT&T HTC One and it is great. You guys should check it out. Clean rom with AT&T bloat removed, great battery, and some great tweaks.

Here it is. A flashable package that will remove all the ATT bloat described above. Let me know if anyone runs into any issues, or see anything that's not getting removed that should be. I recommend wiping cache and dalvik after flashing.
Im running stock Odexed AT&T rom from JMZ found in development section with Thoravukks Kernel from international HTC one found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229300 which allowed me to delete all of AT&Ts bloatware from the rom since the kernel Naw read and write. Plus Modaccos xposed framework which allowed me to remap the menu button to the back button by long pressing it. And let me say its running beautifully. No issues at all everything works. Plus i get to keep my AT&T signal icons which i prefer.

Yes. This can absolutely be fixed by flashing a different kernel. This is for those who prefer a fully stock experience, minus the bloat.

Thanks tons! Looks like all the AT&T crud is gone! Totally appreciate this. So far no issues.
And no bloat returns after 2 reboots.
Just wondering, is this 100% uninstall?
I've been looking but I haven't found one of them yet. I guess I'm one of the rare ones with an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery but I don't need anything fancy just a stock rom. thanks!
The radios are out so you can flash them but no roms built from source yet. I haven't really seen anyone talk about putting out a standard srd yet just that sbreen and nitroglycerine will be updating their roms

I just got back home with my shiny new S4 and I can't wait to get the thing rooted and rom'd. But! Before I take the dive, I'd like to test the waters of this lovely phone's community.
If you have a few minutes to spare:
- What rom/kernel are you using? Why?
- What is one thing that you wish you knew about the S4 before flashing?
Thanks!

As far as I know (which I'm not 100%sure since I'm on mdk) you cannot flash custom roms yet if on the latest update (mj7 with Android 4.3) If you're lucky enough (unlikely) to get one with me7 firmware, you can flash custom roms with safestrap. This phone is not doing so well in the development area as I expected it would before release. Hopefully someone can figure out a way around the locked down bootloader

That makes it painfully obvious that you haven't read much around here.
What you first need to know is what firmware version you have. That determines what you can do.
What you asked is equivalent to saying that you have a car then asking what you can do to improve it - no data on what year or model, or what you want to do. Without that info, how can anyone help you? If you can't even be bothered to figure out what build you have to start with, nobody can suggest anything to help you.

I managed to figure that out a couple minutes ago. I actually got pushed to ME7 while I was rooting my S4 (ironic?) and was able to stop it after that. So, it seems I was one of the lucky(ish) ones. Would've been nice to stay at MDK, but SafeStrap seems to be one hell of a tool.

Hey there... I remember you from the Fascinate forums. I finally ended up getting an S4 about 2 1/2 months ago and for the most part it's a great device, but you can't expect near the same freedom as you had with the Fascinate.
When I got mine I ended up with ME7 so it sounds like you're in the same boat. I have mine rooted, but decided not to use Safestrap because of the limitations it brings (mainly the storage issue). I'm pretty happy with how I have mine set up and it's pretty snappy overall, but I really do wish I had gotten an MDK in order to really flash roms like I used to on my Fascinate.
If you choose to use Safestrap then go nuts and I hope you find some roms you like (Hyperdrive seems to get the most love around here from what I've noticed). I'll just quickly list off the modifications I did to mine that got it to where I like it:
-Froze all bloat with Titanium, including the SDM 1.0 (to prevent unwanted updates)
-Got rid of e911 icon and ongoing WiFi notification
-Installed the International Voice Dialer with call recording
-Installed Volume Boost mod (increased it around 50% over stock)
-Installed Xposed Framework so I could use Greenify features
-Used Greenify to hibernate all misbehaving apps (examples would be Facebook and Google Play Store) (... this increased battery life A LOT)
-Installed AdAway (adblocker)
-Turned all animations down to .5 in developer options and disabled all hovering effects on the lock screen
Doing all that really made this thing a lot better than it was, but I'm still hoping for a true bootloader unlock to start playing with it more. I have found a lot of the Touchwiz features to be quite useful, like the voice control stuff, camera app, etc, so I would probably stick with a modded Touchwiz rom if I had the option. Good luck.
edit: Oh and another thing you might not be aware of - the camera is set to 9.5MP by default in the app, you need to go into settings to use the native 13MP resolution.
One thing to note that no one mentioned (and in case you didn't read elsewhere) is that with SafeStrap you can not use ROMs with custom kernels. So that means no AOSP based ROMs like CM, Carbon, PACman and others since they are all using a custom kernel. At least until they get KEXEC working with SafeStrap (if they get it working). So basically you can only use modded TW roms with a stock kernel.
Hello there to all who have stumbled on to this thread. I know that not many know how to build a custom recovery and many who do are busy. If you could I will at the very least try to reward you somehow. If you need the recovery image since yours is messed up feel free to download. If any other files are needed please ask and I will supply them as soon as possible. Thank you and good luck.

custom recovery would be great
There are many people like myself looking for a custom recovery for the LG vs450pp. These are pretty decent phones and i would like to see a few roms made for it... perhaps a custom viper rom & a kernel retaining the knock-on feature. Paid someone a pack of smokes for this phone and im content with it so far as a stock rooted phone goes but further development would be greatly appreciated.

Get the recovery from post #33 in this thread. Start with the first post and read until you get there. Personally tested on both the LS620 and the VS450PP...
A friend is working on a custom ROM, and I hope to test this later tonight or tomorrow. Fingers crossed

I believe stock and debloated stock only so far. Custom recovery has been modified to work from key presses upon boot, but I haven't succeeded on this particular device yet. Look for the LS620 root thread over there.

Thanks I will check out the LS620 root thread.
The debloated stock rom, does everything still function on the phone with that rom and do you have the link to it so I can give it a try or is it in the LS620 thread?
Thx.

Here's the thread, but please note it is for the Realm (LS620) which is a Boost Mobile (Sprint) device. I've only verified the recovery working on my Exceed 2, but still without access to it via cold booting (button presses). The thread starter (bcrichster) is working with SuperR on modding the boot.img for the VS450PP that I supplied them with.
Once past that hurdle, I'll try the debloated Realm ROM on an Exceed 2. I "had" both devices, but soft bricked my Realm and cannot find the .kdz for this anywhere. Before loss of the Realm, I compared the /system of both and they are nearly identical (other than partition "numbers" as I recall, and several carrier specific apps that aren't needed anyway). At least if I have issues, I'll be able to restore my stock nandroid.
In a nutshell, proceed with caution as this is 'technically' for the Realm and a WIP at that. I'll be back with updated info as things progress. I'm just assisting and testing at this point. I'm about to root a new one later tonight and provide them with some (nearly) virgin images to work with.
Just got a PM that the modded boot.img for the VS450PP may be ready for me to test as early as tonight. If the Exceed 2 is your daily driver, you may want to wait just a bit longer...

Thank you for the follow up!
I also found that this phone is also just like the LG - L70? here
So it looks like a good chance we will see some ROM soon then?!
I picked up this phone from BB for $15 on sale over the holiday weekend and I had $10 in BB rewards I had to use up before they expired so for $5 plus tax I thought it would be a fun toy to play with and see how it works with my moto 360. And so far I am happy with it. I mounted a 32GB card in it and moved the apps it would let me move to it.
So far the only issue I have with the phone is Bluetooth music payback to my BT speaker. Seems to break up from time to time. Not sure what that is about...
Anyway sounds like you are close to something so I can wait a bit longer before digging into to guts of this device and will just keep testing it out.
I will keep an eye out for updates and let me know if there is anything I can help with... I do have a some virgin phone with only root access now on it and have dropbox access.
Any updates on this? I just got the LG Optimus Exceed 2 phone (lg-vs450pp) for a good price on amazon ($15)! And if I can get something close to stock android on this it would make a wonderful DEV device.
I was able to root it and put twrp on it as per this thread's instructions.
Looking forward to updates!

I just received 2 more from Amazon today (how can you NOT grab these @ $15?), for a grand total of 8 now (actually 7, as my grandson just flipped an untouched one for $40 last night <g>). Working long hours every day thru the end of the year, and spent a bunch of my time recovering, then assisting on the Realm.
No promises, but I intend to do an extreme debloat the Exceed 2, and at least (help) make a nicer stock ROM, with init.d support. Just too little time at this point
As an aside, there is a better recovery available (2.8.6) you may want to look at. Should I succeed in any ROM tweaks, I'll be using this. Unsure if it will actually matter, as I'm not really a "developer" per se'. The latest TWRP I mention gets the file dates right, and that alone (to me) makes it worth installing. I believe he fixed the screen timeout issue on this release too, but haven't verified it yet myself.
I'm playing with 3 different devices at once, and my "old-timers" is adding to my lack of time. Had to unbrick a Moto G last night, and it consumed some 'precious' time. Arrggghh, too many irons in the fire. And I gotta go bowling in a few minutes. FML...

Awesome, a debloat would be great. I want to tinker with turning this phone into a portable PHP server.
Did anybody ever try this on the LG Exceed 2? Not sure how legit it is.

Where did you find this?

Is this legit?, can someone verify?
I was able to root and install TWRP, supersu. Restarted and the phone is stuck in Verizon logo red screen. I don't remember how to recover (((( Had to reflash again and everything is good now. Phone seems unbrickable.
Any update? And could i use the rom intended for the Realm safely?

If you are still looking. Let me know.
I recently got my Lg Optimus Exceed 2 (Verizion Pre-Paid) back from repair from Lg. Is there anything I should do to my phone before I load anything on it? Or save anything on it? Thanks in advance for any help.
