[ROM] KIRk Out!! NEO X5 G4 4.1.1_0117 {v 1.6}

[onelovekir]

ok ladies and gents...this is ONLY!! for install with CWM.

Whenever there is a new MAJOR firmware release to a new version of Android (i.e. going from 4.1.x to 4.2.x), I will say push the firmware to your X5 and then you can reinstall CWM. That way the RKBatchTool will do a low level format of the NAND and keep your system running smooth.

CREDITS go out to Minix for making this stellar rom used as a base!!

UPDATE (2/16/13): ok so I finally got the formatting script working and it formats ALL the partitions correctly into ext4 format. It turns out that it was mostly related to the CWM previous releases were not able to format ext4 correctly and I believe also because the system partition was never really a true ext4 format. Well all is well now with the last 2 new releases from fun_, and from now on I will have a new setup on how to install my roms and keep up with the new firmware of Minix without having to go through all the hassle of reinstalling CWM and what not. I will drop my new roms later on...its 2:30am here right now and i'm bout to sleep now. Laters!!

UPDATE (2/18/13): now you will have the option to change kernels after my rom is installed or before or whatever you want to do. As always, make a backup first cuz I'm not responsible for you losing your stuff. Read below for more info.

UPDATE (3/07/13): Most likely this weekend, after some testing of course, I will be changing the way we install the kernels for use with my roms, so look out for that!

UPDATE (4/08/13): I have refrained from updating to the new firmware until Minix fixes a few of the bugs. They said sometime this week, so we will see. Until then I have changed a few things, but more importantly how to flash everything.

UPDATE (4/11/2013): Sorry guys!! I have re-uploaded the stuff for the NEO G4 cuz I forgot to change the boot.img and kernel.img files for the NEO G4. Once again, sorry about that. Just reflash to the new one specific to your device!

Well without further ado...here it is folks!!

WARNING!!: Please READ and PAY ATTENTION!! Make sure you download the correct file for your correct device. I take no responsibility if you screw things up with your device!

What it doesn't have in it:

see the NOTE below
5.1 Optical S/PDIF...yet...

NOTE: Or you can use my kernel flashing zip, but you use that at your own risk. Downloads are below in post #2.

I have updated the way we flash the kernels again, so you can use the ones from above if you feel the need to change kernels.

NOTE 2: Apex Launcher is the only home launcher that is installed, so if you want a different launcher, make sure you install another one FIRST before you delete Apex Launcher.

Installation instructions:
1) Copy the .zip to your X5
2) Reboot into CWM
3) Click on "Install zip from SD Card"
4) Select the .zip and wait

You no longer have to wipe, as my rom will wipe and format automatically...so still do a backup before you flash!!

If you guys find anything, let me know. Also, if you want me to add anything or look into something let me know as well...thanks and I hope you enjoy!!

XBMC:

Delete the ".txt" off of "advancedsettings.xml.txt" below to make it "advancedsettings.xml". You will need to put it in your "sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata" folder using a file explorer app. Viola!! Now koying's blacklisting is disabled

refer to this thread for more info...http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=152005
page 32 of the thread will have more advancedsettings options.

NOTE: You must have installed the xbmc hw accel apk from xbmc.org and run it FIRST before you will see the "userdata" folder above!

KERNEL FLASHES:

I have decided to keep these here for the people who do not have or do not want CWM recovery (you can uncheck the "recovery" box if you do not want CWM).

IMPORTANT!!: PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE FIRST BEFORE FLASHING THESE!!

These zips contain the newest CWM recovery, so it is recommended that if you are coming from Finless's rom or Jazz's rom to flash one of these FIRST and then boot into recovery and then flash my rom. Like always, there is a disclaimer...don't blame me for ish if your device catches on fire!

720p kernel:
http://d-h.st/RrC Neo X5 ONLY!!

http://d-h.st/wWF Neo G4 ONLY!!

1080p kernel:
http://d-h.st/9Dk Neo X5 ONLY!!

http://d-h.st/e6N Neo G4 ONLY!!


MODS:


White mouse cursor from 4.0.4 ICS build but with blue and black tip that I made zip flashable through CWM.
http://d-h.st/g8y


Lockscreen
Enabled - this is enabled by default in my rom
http://d-h.st/yH7

Lockscreen
Disabled - just in case people want it for some reason
http://d-h.st/6ew

NOTE: These are only flashable through CWM. The lockscreen will need to be reset after each reboot! This is for JB 4.1.1_0117 only guys and I have only tested this on the 1080p kernel(though it shouldn't matter what kernel you're on), so please make a backup before flashing this...you have been warned!!

CREDITS: All credits go out to Finless Bob for showing me how to do the lockscreen mod and letting me use this for my rom, much thanks!!

3G dongle key - mobile networks - BROKEN?

OneLoveKir, I found (on both kernels) that is not possible to set my 3G internet external key, because when i choose (under settings) the mobile networks, the "settings app" terms abnormally.
Is it a your decision to take out the or it is a bug?

thx for your answer
