[ROM] [CUSTOM] PirateDroidV2 (P736E and P736V) **INT2EXTV2+ RUNNING -> 1GB INTERNAL MEMORY**

[Guest Typhus_]

Hello!

 

PirateDroid version 1.3 is now available.  

 

Changelog:

 

 

- Visual modifications on framework-res.apk and Settings.apk (Globally, the phone, has been "JellyBean'ed")

- Visual modifications on SystemUI.apk (The statusbar has an even more ICS look)

- Background changed on phone and contacts

- NemusLauncher has been replaced by HoloLauncher (if you use this ROM and already installed HoloLauncher, I think it's better for you to remove it before applying the update, since this update only removes Nemus)

- Several icon changes

- Included a tweak on build.prop to fix the "black screen after call issue"

- Fixed a sting on the PT translation for the word "Back" on camera

- F-Droid has been included as a system app (this app allows you to download and update really cool apps that are not available on Play Store, eg.: AdAway; Terminal Emulator, etc.)

 

 

Extras included on the update (they will be stored directly on your SD card on a folder named "PirateExtras" an they can be deleted if you don't want to use them): 

 

- Chainfire3D app, plugins and shaders (With this, probably you will be able to play more games on your Crescent...just check out THIS and THIS over XDA)

- GoogleHome Launcher (This is an incredible smooth and fast launcher, probably the best launcher I've tried, so far, on the Crescent. It is a modded version of a Chinese launcher named "CoCoExLauncher" by a XDA member who made it look more like KitKat. Check it's work HERE. Anyway, I've translated it to PT and removed the icon replacement because I prefer the ones I've included on the update. Unfortunately I couldn't install this launcher as a system app, therefore I could not, nor will you be (unless you're a genius and you show me how to do it without getting the launcher to FC) to replace the default system Launcher by this one.)

 

- Google Hangouts with SMS support and video chat (It's a KitKat Hangouts version adapted to Gingerbread that I've found HERE. You cannot update Hangouts, after installing this apk, or you'll lose the SMS features)

 

- Root Explorer (this app is needed, if you do not have it already, and wish to install Hangouts)

 

- CM7 MMS (the name says it all...but it has been modded because of the icon replacement)

 

- CM7 MMS with "chat bubbles". This one works but as soon as you try to go to it's settings, it will FC. Don't know why. If you try to use this app, please backup your MMS.apk first in case you need to come back to it.

 

 

Ok, this is it, for now.

 

 

What's still left to do:

 

- Figure out how to change the text color to white on some dark backgrounds (and vice-versa...specially on SIM PIN unlock code screen)

- Revamp the statusbar to make it look like the JellyBean 4.2.2 statusbar

- Try to better the phone's performance (although GoogleHome Launcher gives it a significant boost, even though it consumes more RAM and it's quite "big")

- Figure out the best way to redistribute the internal memory occupation

- Correct the "activity_title_bar" (it's a title bar with the look of the activity_title_bar on JellyBean) bugs throughout some apps

 

 

Screens:
(They are all in Portuguese...sorry for that...)

 

New framework

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holo Launcher

 

 

 

StatusBar

  

 

Settings (before and after)

  

 

Phone/Camera

   

 

F-Droid

 

    

 

AdAway (How to replace the older version after updating it through F-Droid -> requires Link2SD)

 

 

    

 

 

On the next post I'll include the Extras images.

 

Cya!

 

 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

There is a chance that, with this update, you'll lose all your call records, messages and contacts. I recommend you to back them up first if you don't want to lose them.

 

 

If you recovery does not install this update directly, use recovery 6.0.3.7 that I've released HERE or, after the reboot, access to your current recovery and flash the zip manually.

 

Since this update his quite large, after you successfully apply it, you may delete it from your SD card.

Boas , antes de mais muito obrigada pela tua rom , estou a utilizar no meu optimus barcelona e é bastante útil , no entanto gostaria que me dissesses algumas dicas de como ficar com algum espaço disponivel na memória do telemovel visto que depois que instalei a rom , ele está-me sempre a mostrar uma mensagem que tenho pouco espaço disponivel e ficou um bocado lento o dispositivo , além disso tenho o cartão de memória quase vazio

 

abraço

Hello!

 

Pedro, on this forum please "talk" in English so that others may understand what we're saying.

 

I have a "replica" of this thread at AndroidPT, a Portuguese forum.

 

Please go there by clicking HERE.

 

We can talk about this, in our native language, there. Besides, there's a new version comin' up that will solve that issue, once and for all.

 

:)

PirateDroid V2.0

 

 

 

 

 

 

Changelog:

 

 

- INT2EXTV2+ script initialized on boot (your phone's internal memory will be almost 1GB)

- Some of the text color bugs were corrected (other still remain...but I'm working on it)

- New SetupWizard

- Modded services.jar in order to disable signature checks for system apps

- Youtube, flashlight and Hangouts removed from system apps

- Filer replaced by ESFileExplorer

- GroupRingtones added as a System app

- Busybox updated to version 1.22.1-Stericson

 

New extra:

 

Noozy player has been included as another "PirateExtra" -> This is an EXCELENT app for music lovers. It has a "Noozxoide Psychoacoustic Processor" that gives an incredible warm bass boost. It almost seems like we have a sub-woofer on our ears. This feature, working along with the "MEGA-BASS" mod, previously included on PirateDroid, is simply fantastic. Try it out for yourselves, you'll see (or better yet... hear) what I'm talking about.

 

As for everything else, it's the same as I've released on V1.3 (check it for more info and screens).

 

Download link and instructions are on the OP (which has been "revamped").

 

 

Hope you enjoy this.

 

Cya soon!

Anyone with p736v using this? :)

Anyone with p736v using this? :)

Hi

 

I use it since the release and it's perfect.

With all the other ROMs i had troubles with int2ext, my sdcard unmounted sometimes. But not anymore :)

The only thing I would like to do is to custom the boot animation but yours isn't in system/media so I don't know how to.

[Guest Typhus_]

If you want a custom bootanimation, all you have to do is to put a bootanimation.zip in /system/media.

 

The one present on PirateDroid is a modded version of the original Android logo present in framework-res.apk.

 

Glad to see people using this, specially P736V users (you may thank dodgetimmy for that).

 

Cya soon!

[Guest ninatik13]

If you want a custom bootanimation, all you have to do is to put a bootanimation.zip in /system/media.

 

Indeed it worked.

 

Thank both of you !! :D For the ROM and the P736V version.

The only issues I met is ES Explorer which writes my system is not rooted, but it's OK with Root Explorer.

And sometimes background and text have the same color but you know it.

 

If I can help in any way, just please ask.

[Guest dodgetimmy]

Good to hear it's working. The only problem I have with this rom is an odd one, my p736 switches itself on after I power off lol.

I was interested to see if others have the same problem!:)

[Guest ninatik13]

my p736 switches itself on after I power off

I have the same issue all the time I power off or after the phone shutted down itself when the battery is empty.

[Guest dodgetimmy]

It seems to come and go now for me. I have yet to work out what it is about this rom!

[Guest Typhus_]

Don't know why that happens. Never happened to me but I have a P736E...so...

 

Anyway, try to remove all init.d scripts, except INT2EXT of course, just to check if it has got something to do with them. You could, as well, remove all tweaks on build.prop, just to test that as well.

 

If the bug persists, maybe it's lib related. I suggest you take all lib files from latest AndroIum (or stock ROM) and overwirte the ones on PDV2.

 

Not really sure about what could be causing this.

Excellent ROM! Trying it out right now, I'm satisfied a lot! P736E here.

 

Couple of questions, what CPU settings to use and DL for v2.1?

 

EDIT1: Never mind the question about update, updated through OTA.

Edited April 7, 2014 by nemacx

[Guest Typhus_]

I don't recommend any special CPU settings...although I always use ondemand governor and noop scheduler.

 

Glad you liked it.

 

:)

[Guest nemacx]

Like it? I love it :-D . Works like a charm, though I have to ask, is the default launcher usually this slow?

Edited April 7, 2014 by nemacx

[Guest Typhus_]

Holo launcher lags a bit, yeah.

 

BUT, if you notice your SD Card, you'll see a folder named "PirateExtras", inside, you'll have a "GHLauncher" folder. Install that launcher and make it the default one (by pressing the "Home" key, and choosing that launcher as default). You won't regret it, trust me. Although it's quite basic, it's, by far, the fastest launcher I've already tested on this phone.

 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it the default one present on the ROM (every test I've made resulted in FC at boot), so I've decided to include Holo Launcher, just for the ROM to boot up, and have this one as an extra.

 

Cya!

[Guest pinky0978]

Just flashed rom, all seems good except i'm getting download failed on ota update, wifi is working fine (e.g. can access play store, etc) but ota just won't work! Any ideas or can anyone upload a flashable zip? Thanks in advance :-)

[Guest Typhus_]

Yes, of course, no problem.

 

Download V2.1 from HERE.

[Guest pinky0978]

Thanks Typhus! Had to toggle signature verification off to install, but it's wiped all my apps, along with play store, maps and navigation. Help!!!

 

Edit: ES file explorer gone too. Was going to install quick system info or terminal to check ext3 for apps but can't install Aptoide from sd card!

Edited April 8, 2014 by pinky0978

[Guest pinky0978]

Just a thought, could it be the older version of cwm i'm using (4.x)?

 

EDIT: Never mind, another reboot fixed it all!!! Great rom so far :) :)

Edited April 8, 2014 by pinky0978

[Guest dodgetimmy]

Sounds like you don't have enough space on your system partition. Download and install an app like Disk Info and see how much space total you have on System. I suspect you may have only 200mb when this rom requires 220mb.

[Guest pinky0978]

Checked on quick system info, I have only 200 Mb on system, but have 17 Mb free, and all is working fine now

[Guest dodgetimmy]

You'll have to check with typhus but last time I checked this Rom needed 220mb on system. That would explain missing apps. Android or cwm recovery doesn't really deal well with any missing space, it doesn't warn you or anything. Instead you end up with missing apps, or down the line things not working.
