Greetings!
I have decide long enough and here i am, trying to build my own ROM and share with you guys.
I am still new in creating my ROM, yet i wanna challenge myself and try to have fun with it. To be honest, it is harder than i thought with no complete tutorial out there.
I am planning to start things slowly and learning as i go along. Thus, i start with the basic, modifying stock ROM, and de-odex them. Clear all the bloatware or what i think is not necessary.
Please take note this is just a trial. If you are interested, do try out, and let me know how or where i can improve. I am noob, please don't flame me.
Current Release
MJ ROM: Trial Version 1.3 - 16.04.2012
Firmware: I9100XWLP7

Beats audio, anyone? (some claim it doens't work, does it? )

Bugs:
Not everything is perfect, though i expected a perfect ROM to ease everyone. However, there are some minor bug i encounter. Not a big deal.
- Keyboard not poping up at the initial setup the ownership of the phone
solution: i realise it takes time for the ROM to load up the keyboard (maybe due to language change from netherland to english - united state issue). what i do is, i just press back and forward few time, and the keyboard will initially pop up. don't worry, it just happen the very first time android setup. no more issues after that.
- Messaging app cannot use
solution: i suspect this is Apex Launcher issues. just delete the dock bar Messaging shortcut. Drag and put the new Messaging app from app drawer and you are good to go.

thanks man! btw, is it legal to use theme provide here? can i use the mod they provide here? i scare i violate the rules or whatever copyright thingy.
U can use themes,apps and other mods from developers just ask their permission first and credit them in your op.
About supersu,you need to install(push) binary for it to work. Think it's binary is a xbin file, but not sure ask in chainfire thread.
anyways good luck with your project

thanks for your hints and advise. really appreciate it.
edit: i think i found the reason on why my custom ROM is not rooted. it seems like i am using stock ROM unrooted, that's why it is not rooted. base on my research, i just have to flash the stock ROM, root it, flash kernel and old bootloader. back up, and start cooking afterward. correct me if i am wrong.
anyway, gonna try it tomorrow. used almost full day in trial and error, at least i can flash and run my first trial.
Mj rom trial version 1.2 is here!

CoZ ROM is:
Updated with the following:
03/26/2012 - CoZ ROM v3.1
Entropy's Daily Driver kernel (02/28/2012)
Init.d governor is ondemand
zipalign init.d script (newly installed apps get zipaligned)
A few other script tweaks
All added applications are updated.
Milocker app added.
Reverted to UCKH7 modem
Made some small changes to the ROM. Added smoothness and resolved the haptic issue. IE: No need to do a "wipe data/factory reset" if you lose haptic feedback upon install.
ICS Launcher has been removed! Sam from MobileTechVideo's pointed out an issue that turned out to be an ICS Launcher issue that has yet to be repaired in the app. Not a big deal, but I'd rather remove it until they fix it. You can always install it from the market if you want it.
This will be my last Gingerbread ROM until official ICS source is released for AT&T. Well, maybe. Depends on my workload at work which recently has been very heavy.
MobileTechVideo's review of CoZ ROM v3 is below. Thank you, Sam!
UPDATED to Android OS 2.3.6
Deodexed and Zipaligned
Rooted (Superuser, and Busybox added)
init.d support
UCKK6 modem
Entropy's Daily Driver kernel (12212011)
Added lidroid's 14 toggle mod in status bar drop down. Edited to give it more of an ICS look. QuickPanel Settings app in your Applications drawer so you can move/remove/add as you please.
Nexus Prime bootanimation
Extended Power Menu
WIFI connectivity should not be an issue thanks largely to Entropy512 for his awesome kernel!
Lock screen issue is resolved, but this was an Android issue to begin with that they resolved since 2.3.4
Apps Removed:
Amazon Kindle
All AT&T apps
Books
Buddies Now
City ID
Days
Genie Widget
Kobo
Mini Diary
Press Reader
Protips
Qik Lite
Terminal Emulator
Words With Friends
Yahoo Finance
YPmobile
Zinio
and all of the HUB apps
Apps added:
Launcher Pro
BetterBatteryStats
CatLog
CPU Spy
Titanium Backup
ICS Launcher
SGS Secret Code app
Vlingo
BLN Control (free)
xda
Zedge
ICS Dialer
ICS contacts
General ICS themed, but not completely (see screenshots)
How to install:
1) Download Zip to your internal sd card
2) Boot into CWM. Go to post# 2 for instructions if needed
3) Highly recommended you go to "Mounts and Storage" and format /data
4) Go to "Install Zip from sdcard" then "choose Zip from sdcard".
5) Navigate to and install the ROM (it will wipe system, cache and davlik for you)
6) First boot can take several minutes
7) IMPORTANT:
When and if restoring data with Titanium Backup ONLY "Restore missing apps with data" and nothing else otherwise you may have issues like missing vibration and/or haptic feedback.

CoZ ROM v3... Still solid, light, simple, dark and stable.
Credit has to be given to the following talented people:
Entropy512 (for his kernel)
lidroid (for his toggle mod and general helpful nature)
gtg465x (for initially helping me with an extended menu issue before I learned how to build it correctly)
h8rift (for answering questions and wiliness to help)
Criskelo (for letting me use his toggle icons for CoZ v1 and v2)
Download Archive:
CWM Package download for CoZ ROM v3.1:
Go here to download: CoZ ROM v3.1
What good is a CWM package if you don't have CWM?
CWM = ClockWork Mod
Note: Your phone needs to be rooted for a non-Odin install. There are many threads in this forum on how to root so I won't get into it here.
Now you need to obtain a kernel that has CWM included. I recommend the latest kernel from Entropy512's thread located here.
You'll want to extract the zImage file out of the Zip and save it on your computer.
If you have the Android SDK installed and working on your computer then save the zImage in its tools directory and then type the following command from this location:
Code:
adb push zImage /sdcard/zImage
Otherwise you'll want to plugin your phone to your computers USB connection and paste the zImage file in the root of your internal SD Card.
Next you need to flash the kernel.
Via ADB (press Enter after each line):
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Via a Terminal Emulator installed on your phone (If you don't have one download "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Market and install it. It's free):
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Reboot.
Note that in the above two code examples when you type su you'll get a prompt to allow the "Superuser Request" if its the first time you invoke it from either program.
To boot into CWM in ADB type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Or, unplug your USB cable if plugged in, and press and hold vol UP + vol DOWN + Power buttons. Wait until it reboots and you see the Samsung Galaxy S II boot screen and release all 3 buttons. This should place you in your CWM menu.
Doing it this way should keep you from getting an exclamation point on your boot screen which is the main reason why I explained how to do this in this manner. If, by chance, you still get an exclamation point or already had one to begin with the only option I can think of is to use a jig. Not that a jig isn't a good thing to have anyways. Any ROM you flash from within CWM will not be added to your Custom Image count and will not produce the annoying exclamation point on the boot screen.
Absolutely first thing you want to do is boot into CWM.
As of this writing, press the Home button to choose an entry and press your Power button or the back button to go back to the previous screen.
Go to: backup and restore
Choose Backup
This will take a few minutes, but is well worth it. Now if you ever mess up your install you can always boot into CWM and restore the image you backed up. This, however, doesn't protect you from flashing bad bootloaders so word to the wise... DO NOT FLASH BOOTLOADERS!!! At this point and time there is no need to.
looks nice!
Thanks !!!
Good to see another dev joining the S II ranks. I can't wait to give this a go.
Thanks Coz, will try this one out. looks like the perfect theme to match the go launcher glass icons I always seem to come back to using.
Update: No issues with the rom yet, been running it all day. Only issue (not from the rom) is that I loose root if I change the kernel. I'm trying to use Zedomax OC kernel, but since root breaks I can't OC.

I have not tried the Zedomax kernel, but I'm not a fan of overclocking. I can say that I've been using my ROM for a while and for me, its always been as stable as can be. Definitely not saying that because it's my ROM. I appreciate you using it as your daily driver for now
Updated to include CWM install instructions.
I love this rom. I hate to even try something else.

Nice job on the rom. Really smooth and fast.

CoZ ROM v2 has been posted and is available in the OP.
Cozmo1 I just have to say you have been really active with the updates. That's really awesome from what I noticed there is still not many developers on the AT&T SGS2 So I am really happy that your contributing so much, unlike me >_> Who can't develop Still Once I get home today I'm going to flash everything i can for some runs I'll pick my favorite and run with it for a bit. All of your stuff looks super tempting though.
I may have to give this a try later

Currently it does not have init.d support, but it'll be an easy thing to implement in the next release. I must admit I don't know why I haven't thought of implementing it already.

Thank you. There's people here a million times more talented than me when it comes to building a ROM though. However, one learns more everyday. I hope you find a ROM that fits all your needs and then some.

(Based on FXP109 & MIUI 2.2.1 | Android 2.3.7)
Latest Build: DarkEditionHD_v1.5
ChangeLog: Here
Old Builds: DarkEditionHD_v1.3
Considerations:
This ROM could not exist without the help of Crowds, alot of the original work was done by him and he deserves the recognition.
Carefully read all installation procedures in the 3rd post.
Check 2nd post for addons and contained apps list
I really REALLY hate the iPhone look of MIUI (not to mention iPhones) but i really do like the feel of Miui. The responsivness the way it all fits together. When i started using custom ROMs i used many. One of my favorites that i used before trying miui ROM`s was Wolfs ROM. Even though it is nice and fast, responsive, i just didn`t likke the stock base of it. And thats why i wasn`t really a fan of FXP.
Both of these guys deserve lots of respect for what they have done, because its awesome work, just not for me. Thats when i started trying out miui ROMs. After alot of time and effort i eventually found BlackEditionHD. Unfortunately Crowds has had to stop work on that amazing ROM. But as i enjoyed it so much I chose to start work on my own ROM. I asked Crowds for his help, and he gave some tools and info to help me carry on his work and create this..... The ROM I call DarkEditionHD
I have made this ROM by using FXP as a base, and porting Miui ontop. Giving you the benfits of both ROMs. The look and feel of Miui with the base work of FXP. The version of Miui has alot of ICS tweaks built into it. This ROM is my own, but the addons and patch files have been taken directly from Crowds` page. If they are yours please let me know and i will give you full credit.
My boot animation now works!!!
http://www.mediafire.com/?8ieuzel8dx44vcu
Installation Procedure:
Full instructions can be found Here
Note1: You must be on a Kernel with CWM5!!!
Note2: If you´re on a Rom with J´s or doom´s FXP kernel this should work, but not tested by me.
Note3: If you have any other kernel installed, make sure you have the correct WiFi modules. FXP Kernels do not need Wifi Modules.
Unlocked Bootloaders (Recommended):
Download ROM to your SDCARD - here
Unzip file and flash Kernel
Enter on CWM5 and wipe/factory reset
Install downloaded ROM
Reboot
Enjoy the new adventure
From here you´ll need to go to 2nd post to install other addons/patches/apps.
Locked Bootloaders:
I really dont think its a good idea, because of the new versions of FXP and such, but if your scared about unlocking your BootLoader...
Follow cobrato´s HOW-TO Here.
Reboot
Enjoy the new adventure
From here you´ll need to go to 2nd post to install other addons/patches/apps.

Cannot download it says" all of our free-download capacities are exhausted currently".Please upload to mediafire or some other plz.
Excuse me, but that's android 2.3.7 based on FXP106 cm7.2 and miui 2.2.3 from n1 right?
Cause on the first post you write andriod 4.0.1 which would be icecreamsandwhich yet and that would mean you would have to use the 2.2.3 ns build and the fxp107 cm9.

oh ok...i`ll change my op then
It for sure is android 2.3.7, no doubt. I have been using this ROM for a very long time. In the first version of FXP-MIUI in about phone Crowds also said it was android 4.0.1 he later changed that himself to android 2.3.7 do to the fact that it's not completely android 4.0.1, but that the ROM contains parts of the framework and animations from 4.0.1.
New mediafire links posted

IM GOING TO FLASH IT NOW IT LOOKS AWESOME.

Edit 1: on 2.6, for GPS fix.
go to Settings, ota, 2.6 fixes, you should see a GPS fix, d/l it and it should auto reboot to recovery. Flash the file from /sdcard/updateme/cm_fluxi_note.zip. GPS should work. Chas tested it and seems to work for him. I was missing an init.gps.rc in ramdisk.
FAQ
Q: I'm currently running xyz kernel. Can I flash this Rom safely?
A: Go here to find out.
_________________________________________
Q: How do I flash this?
A: This is how.
_________________________________________
Q: After flashing the Rom and Gapps I get bootloop / after changing the DPI I get bootlop?
A: Just press and hold power button. After a reboot or two you'll get to homescreen, no reason to worry.
_________________________________________
Q: Recovery aborts flashing Rom or Gapps or kernel and displays error code "status 7"?
A: You most probably have a bad download. Redownload Rom/Gapps/kernel, check MD5 and try again.
_________________________________________
Q: Flash went through OK, but now I can't sync calendar/contacts/Gmail, there's no option to setup my
Google account, Playstore won't start, where is my Picassa...?
A: You either forgot to flash Gapps, or had a bad Gapps zip (if you had flashed it).
_________________________________________
Q: Playstore says I have no apps, and I purchased them ages ago, or claims that my apps are incompatible
with the Note...?
A: Go here to find the solution to your problems.
_________________________________________
Q: Can I flash some other kernel on this Rom?
A: You can, but if something goes wrong don't post your problems here. Go to the kernel thread instead.
_________________________________________
Q: A system app keeps FCing. What can I do?
A: Go to Settings/apps and clear the app's cache and data, reboot. If that doesn't help, try to dirty reflash the Rom (just wipe cache and dalvik).
_________________________________________
Q: How do I change my DPI?
A: 1) Go to Settings/Developer options/LCD Density, set DPI you prefer and reboot. Or
2) download Rom Toolbox from Playstore, tap build.prop editor, find ro.sf.lcd.density and enter
the value you want. Reboot. Or
3) edit build.prop manually, reboot.
4) DO NOT USE ANY OTHER DPI CHANGING APPS BECAUSE YOUR ROM WILL NOT BOOT.
Note's default DPI is 320; you can go as low as 160 to get more screen real estate. Any DPI between 178
and 320 will leave you in phone mode (status/navigation bar at the top of the screen, no softkeys);
between 160 and 177 you are in tablet mode (softkeys, status/navigation bar at the bottom).
_________________________________________
Q: I have a battery drain, help!
A: Do not post about it in this thread - it is not Rom related. Download and install BetterBatteryStats and go here
for instructions and help.
_________________________________________
Q: Do I need to flash Gapps every time there's a Slim Bean Rom update?
A: No. Here's why.
Code:
Backup tool incorporated, Read Carefully -> Huge Thanks to gmillz
( only guaranteed to work on our gapps and addons,
if you flash another gapps etc you are on your own), similar to CM. for 2.7, MUST RE-DOWNLOAD
slim_gapps and all addons you use. When 2.7 is released, do the following
Flash Device 2.7.0.zip, then flash the NEW slim_gapps and any other addon you use/want.
From the next release on, wipe cache/dalvik cache, Just flash device zip, rest should remain intact.
NOTE: If you for a format /system in recovery, you will lose all backups and have to reflash all
addons again.
_________________________________________
Q: Where are S-pen gestures and S-apps?
A: They require TouchWiz framework to work, so you will not find them here. There are alternatives to
S-apps in Playstore, but S-gestures can be found only in TW-based Roms.

Well, i had it built last night, but didn't want to release until some one tested it properly. chas did and here it is.
Wow Chas... Will surely give it a spin
nice
Was going through the changelog.. saw a feature Fast Charge Toggle..
Can you list a couple of kernel where this is supported.. (I guess its kernel dependent)

Right now, i doubt any custom kernels work unless they were quick to incorporate the new mali changes from cm10.

You cannot use any kernel besides the one included in the Rom for now; it's the same situation as with the latest CM10 nightly and mali merges.

on a side note, before the new mali drivers, did the kernels like hydra, Ani, or Loki support this feature..

Don't know about Loki, but I think that neither HC nor Ani supported it. Not entirely sure about that, though.
Is there any way to get Russian on this Rom? Will it come if I flash slim gapps? It might be in addons, but I don't know which to flash...

I'm afraid not. There is Additional Language Fonts zip at unsupported addons at http://slimroms.net/ , but the description of the file states "for text only, not system language".
It appears that the only supported languages for now are English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.

About the rom:
Rom is the same rom like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912865 with added new feature. New feature is native LBE Security from latest and final MIUI rom version 3.2.22 which mean framework in rom is modified and enabled these MIUI security feature. What is LBE Security? Its extra good feature which giving you perfect control for aplications like: permision manager and aplication startups. Rom is complete which mean all feature is integrated like here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912865
Some aps is moved from system folder to the other place so you have full control to them!
How to install:
Reguirements:
- recovery installed (mine is not reguired, so all recovery is suported)
- unlocked bootloader
Simple place rom to the sdcard, reboot to recovery and install rom using menu "install zip from sdcard. All your personal data will be deleted, so make sure make backup of your private data before you going to install this rom!
Allso read next important instructions on seccond post!
Warning:
Do not install SuperSu or Superuser or any other root tool because this rom is designed to work with LBE and will cause a lot of bugs to the aplications and cause system unstability! Allso do not touch su binary, this su binary is designed to work only with LBE ! After initial boot, setup initiall settings, than wait 5 minutes until all aps is installed, than reboot. After boot go to LBE Security and App Control and setup it for your needs!
Do not install memory tweak because these ramdisk will break compatibility with this rom! All tweaks and OC is integrated in this rom!
Do not install other kernels, you will broke compatibility because ramdisk is diferent in curent kernel!
Do not report bugs if you modified curent rom, or you have installed something from another rom!!!
Mising thing, but for sure I will try to integrate, is MIUI Anti Spam apk (application for blocking calls and messages)! Need to patch them.
Enjoy this rom! :cyclops:
Kernel:
https://github.com/munjeni/android_kernel_xperiago
Download:
http://d-h.st/j8P
Instructions
My opinions after trying many roms is stripped version of this rom. Stripped mean - delete all apk which you see on LBE security! Rom is stable, smooth, fast, no bugs, ...etc. But you need to install them propertly.
Some steps to get rom right installed and configured:
1. unlock bootloader
1,5. make sure you updated your phone from Gingerbread to the oficial Sony ICS rom!!!
If you have 1. and 1,5. done than proced to next steps:
2. extract boot.img from zip and flash them using fastboot
3. reboot to recovery and wipe data factory reset, than wipe system partition
4. install zip using recovery menu "install zip from sdcard"
5. do not restore backups
6. do not install any other busybox (its allready in rom)
7. do not install su and superuser apks (rom have root tools and apks allready - mean integrated LBE security feature)
8. after first boot, configure phone (mean date and time, mobile networks, accounts...etc)
Very important steps:
9. open LBE Guard and under menu enable root permissions
10. reboot phone
11. on next boot you will see popup message "enable root acces for LBE...", select check box to "allow" and "remember"
12. reboot phone again
13. Open LBE again and delete all apks which you see (all which you never using)
14. open Apk Control and disable statrup to all apks
15. reboot phone again
16. ENJOY !
Than you can install apks from Playstore and setup permissions to them using App Startup and LBE Guard, you will be very happy with stability and performance using this rom! Let me know if you are satisfied with rom!
Great! But i was expecting battery saving tweaks... at least can you provide me some tweaks that work with this rom?
munjeni ! I am very glad again you to see!

I can not give you that, but you can give me if you found some good tweaks! I have no problem with baterry drainage because its the same like stock rom, and ICS is not like GB, you must to know! I using rom whole day without charging and its enought for me. You must to know, we have no source code to get rom improved! So all bugs that is inside stock rom we can not fix! Sony need to improve his rom, and not we. We are consumers only and Sony is sellers, Sony need to give the best product to his consumers, but seems ICS is not 100% complete rom like previous Sony rom aka Gingerbread so we need to wait his patch sets for ICS.
I can see you allways looking for battery improvements (in every rom thread), so question: do you found ICS rom with improved battery usage??

I am currently using eXperience rom v2 and its battery consumption is better than stock ics i think. Anyway, to install this rom do i have to install your first rom before? So do i have to install this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912865 and then the rom in this thread?
Im still downloading this rom so idk the files that this zip contains.
Please read carefully first post and you will see instruction details
you dont say that we have to be on your previous rom before installing. do we ?
Reguirements:
- recovery installed (mine is not reguired, so all recovery is suported)
- unlocked bootloader
So if you have recovery installed simple folow first post.
ah, ok. Thanks!
This is favored developer. Thanks for come back.

2 small mods for VibeROM v7 by QuBeX:
framework-res.apk:
Removed Emergency call button from stock Lock screen (it's visible if you set security lock type to pattern or PIN). I'm already tired of unintentional emergency call attempts.
Settings.apk:
Added battery usage stats in System settings (Device section).
You have to download file(s) and manually replace system apk(s) with them. Yes, you ought to know how to do this (or google it). These mods are completely independent, you may apply any one of them.
framework-res.apk is for \system\framework\, permissions are rw-r--r--. Device will reboot on change.
Settings.apk is for \system\app\, permissions are rwxrwxrwx. I had to deodex the file, so it's slightly bigger than original one.
BTW, anyone using this “battery mod” please report if battery stats seem reasonable. Cause I’ve seen a number of times when stats were a mess and had obvious errors (like not listing 3D game I’ve played for 2 hours). Maybe that’s the reason why Lenovo hided battery usage from settings (it’s just hidden in fact, not removed). Maybe we should check for alternative power usage stats instead.
QuBeX, you mentioned inverted play store in features of your v7, but it’s just plain white for me from start. Is it really inverted in your K900?
Hi guys (& Qubex)
Did any of you noticed that 2 things:
- Wifi connecting to the open networks (supermarkets, and so on...) is sooo slow, and often the phone doesn't even connect to them...
- The GPS doesn't work correctly also... It takes him about 2-3 minutes for finding ONE satellite... And the other two isn't anywhere...:-/
Anybody?
Had 2 reboots today for no visible reason (just charging phone).
Will test it tomorrow, but now I’m going to roll back to Vibe 4.

Well, now talking about our k900 and vibe7. For me it is really stable, great battery life, no problem at all. maybe you didn't do a proper wipe or something also problems regarding hardware are Lenovo problems and only they can fix them...
Now, The inverted Play store. Download the last build, it is solved
Also if you don't want to lose data coming from vibe4 or vibe6 I have read that only flashing system.IMG.Gz works, but I haven't tested it so it is up to you
Hope your questions are solved and again sorry
I have some interesting situation.
I was on vibe4, then on vibe7 and yesterday I did back on vibe4, with same zip file I used for vibe4 first time with sdfuse.
I got mixed app from both roms???
I dont see anymore Ultimate power app, etc, that I have on first flash, but I see chinese app, also like first flash.
Now I have wide touch from vibe7, etc. what I didn't have in first flash of vibe4.
I did only rewrite sdfuse folder every time when I flash rom.
The download link doesnt seem to be working. It's loading non stop but not loading the page itself
VibeROM 4 made my phone hot. So I istalled this. But there is a superuser problem. Every time a notification will appear asking me to install Superuser, and then it will fail. Any idea? However, TitaniumBackupPRO runs OK, although it always asks for USB debugging to be activated even though i had done it already.
