BETA TESTER NEEDED:
I've released this ROM on the other 3 8960 devices already and now that cm10.2 has gone into nightlies here I thought I'd bring this ROM over. Here's a preview build for those that are interested. I do not have this device to test with, however I had great success on the ville and jewel (I have the Evita) and expect nothing less here. If the feedback here is positive I'll merge this into official nightlies with the other devices.
This is built using the CM device trees so all current device specific CM issues will be issues here as well. Screen flicker and sim card warnings are the major ones I see in mdmowers thread.

GAPPS
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip - 1.14 MB - needed for root, rom does not give root access by default so if you want rooot flash this as well
Check out codefirex.com for more info on the ROM and the team. Basically this is the closest thign to PURE AOSP you will find anywhere, highly optimized and built with a custom built GCC-4.8.2 toolchain.
This uses the 3.4 CM kernel tweaked for gcc-4.8 builds and as such follows all the same requirements as CM-10.2. NEWEST FIRMWARE/HBOOT are required. S-on still? You will need to fastboot flash the boot.IMG after flashing the ROM.
This will be updated more in a week or so when the official builds start up.
Thanks to the CM team for all their work on this family of devices, especially mdmower for his work on fireball for all of us to enjoy.
Most of you guys here on the Incredible 4G don't know me but I've been deving for Evita for a while now, since there was no support for this ROM on any of the other devices in the 8960 family I decided to branch out with this Rom and bring it to all of them.
***I DO NOT OWN A INCREDIBLE 4G AND THEREFORE CANNOT TEST THESE MYSELF. ***
DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible for any damages caused to your device by flashing this ROM. Your warranty is now void.
By proceeding you accept the risks involved with flashing ROMS. While I test everything on my own device, I cannot garauntee yours will not explode into kittens and rainbows.

KNOWN ISSUES:
ROOT ACCESS : On-going disscusion within the team but as of right now root is not available to userspace. Root currently works over adb only. Flash the superSU.zip and carry on if you need root access for apps like TiBu or root file explorers. Otherwise you really don't need it
BOOT ANIMATION : i'ts just full of struggle, it's an old animation made for smaller screens. It freezes and goes blank screen on first boot. Don't be alarmed, it'll be OK. New custom boot ani is being designed now by a fellow team member
BROWSER : Ocassional FC on embedded browser streaming video. You tube and links that open a video player are fine, just embedded video.
FIREBALL SPECIFIC ISSUES:
Somebody tell me something...I need a tester for this!!!
I expect the same CM issues :
Screen flicker ( if you get this flash something else asap)
Possible Data connectivity/sim card issues
ROM is still under construction so i'm sure more will surface but this should be more than ready to be a daily driver.

Wow its quiet in this forum...I know the user base is relatively small here compared to the other devices in the family but I figured there'd be at least a couple brave souls that could test this out for me

Can you give some more details about what's in this rom? I went to the website but couldn't see anything besides status updates. Is it a stripped down CM?
Sure thing, its basically straight AOSP compiled with a custom 4.8.2 toolchain (compiled w/ROM for each device) and all the linaro type build flags and -03 flags. Highly optimized, slim and efficient. You won't find a lot of the mods and features all the other ROMs out there have, just what Google gave us.
You may find that doesn't fit your style and if so cool, its not for everybody. What I'm really interested in is hardware testing since I do not own this device(I have the one xl).
Is camera/WiFi/data/calls working... That kind of thing. I know this device is having some issues that the other 3 HTC 8960 devices are not on cm10.2.

Okay.. gave it a try. The rom itself seems to run really snappy and quick. My 4G took a bit to connect and never turned blue but I did have internet. Camera and all seemed to work fine. After trying a few things I realized I never installed gapps so I rebooted back to recovery and flashed them. That was as far as I got. The phone went into boot loops. Pulled the battery and wiped it clean, tried to restore my cm10.2 backup and it locked up upon rebooting itself. Pulled the battery again and attempted to get to recovery which took 3 tries. Wiped the phone again and restored one more time and cm10.2 seems to be working fine now.
Maybe it didn't take cause I flashed gapps afterwards.. I dunno. I'll try to flash both rom and gapps together when I get another chance.

Finally got somebody! Yay! Thanks for trying...to be honest this build is almost a month old now and quite a bit of the data issues I think have been resolved since then.
I can't speak to your boot looping deal, that is defiantly strange behavior. It should not matter when or if you flash gapps. At this point I'm happy to known it boots. Ive held off doing anything with this one as I haven't had anybody to test. I've got a few other things going but I'll get a more current build up in a few days.

Flashed the latest release and here's what I've got so far. The first boot took some time, as expected, and when it was done my phone was roaming so I couldn't log in. I remembered this problem with previous versions of cm so I just rebooted. 2nd boot went much quicker and my phone was now on lte. I checked all the settings for radio and the network, system and CDMA were all correct.
Upon trying to reconfigure the hardware keys it seems that they were set up for a different phone. There was home, menu and search keys listed but not back, home and recents buttons like we have. The camera and video seem to work as well as any normal cm version would. I couldn't find the swipe function for the keyboard if there is one.
The 4gLTE, WiFi and GPS all seem to work fine. I had no trouble locking into satellites or routers. Text messaging works fine also but I didn't have a chance to test calling yet. I'm working right now. I decided to install all my apps and play for awhile until TiBu told me there's no root and that's when I realized there no Superuser installed. Other than that the ROM works smooth and fast. I'll be back if I find anything else.
Su zip in op will fix root. Long argument among the team but for now this is how it is.
Keep forgetting to fix the overlay for that hw key. "Menu key " is our "app switch key". I had to hack it to get the buttons I wanted before we added hw key remapping and forgot to remove the hack.
Thanks again for testing it out.

The zip you provided worked great. Restored all my apps no problem. Came across a bug though. Tried to play Apollo but got no sound. The app seemed to be working fine, just no sound. So I tried Pandora and the sound came on but for only one song then went out again. I was using my headphones. I've used BT for calls and that works fine but I haven't tried streaming audio to my car yet to see if that works.

Been running this for a couple of days now and it seems to work very well. :thumbup: The only requests that I could think of would be swipe for the keyboard and the option to have the volume keys control fast forward/rewind for the music player but other than that this rom seems pretty solid right now. Great work guys and thanks again!
I'll be heading to France in a couple of days and plan on buying a Sim card when I get there for the local network so I'll let you know how it works when I get back.

You must already be on GB and have recovery installed. If you are on HC you must follow the directions in the forum on how to downgrade to GB
Use kevinrocksman's awesome tool to get to HC from GB(or downgrade from HC to GB, and many other convenient tools). He makes it easy for you

This is a preview release of my DeSensed-View rom. This is WIP and this is the first preview release
Features:
Based off the Stock GB rom for the View
Lovethyevo's custom OC kernel. Thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401112

maybe some other stuff I'm forgetting... lol
system rw at boot
phone.apk, telephony and hands free activation removed (radios disabled) I will released a 3g/4g enabler soon
Issues
You tell me.. test and let me know what's jacked up
When going through setup wizard and trying to select time zone it will FC. This is because the radios are disabled and it uses them to auto set your time zone. Just keep pressing next through set up and once it's finished you can go into settings and change it.
Maps might force close once or twice until you set up wifi
I have included the KB from CM7 but the keys are pretty small so I also included the GB KB,, the keys are small as well but you can make them bigger in settings
I am not responsible if you flash this and you brick your ****
DO NOT FLASH IF YOU ARE ON HONEYCOMB.. Follow the threads in the forum to learn how to downgrade to GB and get/keep s-off

A few people have PM'ed me asking about donating. Well, I dont/wont ever ask for donations and honestly I prefer to NOT get donations. I do this work first and for most for me(Yeah I'm a selfish bastard) so I can learn more, so I can make my device the way I want my device, I just decide to share what I make for myself instead of keeping it for myself (I'm selfish, not greedy) and I feel if people start donating they might get more demanding and feel more entitled so I'd rather just skip all of that potential drama. When it comes to requesting things in this rom, I will put them in IF it's something I would use myself. If it's not, then I most likely wont add it. So please dont donate to me, If you want to do some good instead of donating to me, donate to a worthy charity instead! Thank you all for using my rom!
Awesome!

So while I have the rom deodexing(it takes a while) I've been playing with the stock rom, deleteing crap and seeing what will break, also trying to add in some AOSP elements... that way when it is deodexing then I know exactly what I can remove and/or replace
removed a ****load of bloat and useless htc apps
rosie is gone, all the rosie widgets are gone, I have the free version of ADW, Stock GB browser and 3D Gallery all working, the stock calculator is working, GB KB included, The stock Calendar, contacts, camera or mms didnt work but I can try to tinker with them later
but the biggest one so far is I got rid of the Sense lock screen and have the stock GB one So much easier to do on GB than HC!
I might have a preview release up in a few hours
pretty cool man. but i think it would probably be pretty easy to actually build cm7 for the view. I believe the flyer has it going.

I asked the guy who did the Flyer CM rom to throw us Viewers a bone and port his Flyer version to the View. He said he might make it a weekend project but not promising anything.
If interested run over to his thread and pm the dev (very nicely) that you heard a rumor he might consider doing a View port and you just wanted to support the idea.
Maybe a little future fan influence will motivate him

Posted a preview release.. let me know what issues you guys find..
I noticed the market wasnt updating to the Play Store.. I'll include the updated APK in the next release but until then you can just install this and it will overwrite the market with playstore. No need to push it, just install it like you would any side loaded apk

Another issue I found was sometimes the unlock slider disappears when you wake the device (just the left one though) but if you swipe as if it was there it unlocks. I'll have to look into that

Sounds great I may hold off on testing until it's done. Just hard bricked my E4GT this morning and I'm a bit gun shy.
Never hard bricked a phone before. Accidentally flashed an AOSP ICS rom over an ICS kernel. Apparently this is huge no no. Complete blue light of death hard brick. Thank god for insurance.
Just installed. Testing now. I'll edit in problems as necessary.
First thing I noticed is that the Setup Wizard force closes if I try to change the time settings. I can change the time settings just fine through the regular settings, though.
The keyboard wouldn't pop up at first for whatever reason. A reboot fixed it, though.
In the settings, the right side of the check boxes are cut off.
Also, the mobile signal level icon still shows up, even though I downloaded the WiFi only ROM. I'm guessing this is just an issue with theming for now, though.

Agreed. So far, it's definitely smooth, and just has those minor issues. I think this will do just fine until we get ICS (though I'll go over to an AOSP GB ROM if we get one). I like it better than Honeycomb already, even if it is an older system.

I'm a little late to the game. I've been running AOSP GB for a while and just decided to flash an ICS ROM yesterday. The kernel I have is imoseyen's leankernel.
I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879151 Liquid Smooth ICS.
It seems to be working fine but i have one qualm about it. The touch screen doesn't seem to flow as naturally as it did when I had GB. It seems to be more sticky. Is anyone else having trouble with this?
Also Navigation seems to be dumbed down as it doesn't say street names anymore. Not a big deal but I'm confused at how the UI of specific apps has changed in the upgrade when it is still the same app.
My other question is in regards to this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122886 ICY-S by MaceksMod
I'm thinking about moving over to this ROM if the stickiness isn't resolved.
However, What is the kernel used for this ROM? I'm pretty sure it's AOSP but I kept seeing mentions of Sense & Team BAMF (who uses Sense).
Glad to see there are still devs for this phone!
You cant use a gingerbread kernel with an ics ROM. Just use the kernel that comes with the ROM.

Not to say anything bad about MaceksMod's mod but it is very new, may need time to mature. If you like Liquid's ICS try Twisted Umbrella, its essentially the same thing with more updates/fixes whatever. And yes the screen scrolling is fixed on that one.

I will check out Twisted Umbrella.
Where can I find an ICS kernel for the Thunderbolt? What type of file is the kernel in the ROM package? Is it typically the boot.img? Does every ROM downloaded have a kernel that is attached to it?
There aren't any custom kernels yet,I do believe twisted has been working on one for his Rom. Kernels are usually baked into the Roms

There aren't any aftermarket ICS kernels for the thunderbolt yet because we don't have the source code to build them yet. Yes the boot.img does contain the kernel and all Roms have to have a kernel or they will not boot.

I flashed 8.5 yesterday and all is supposed to be working. I am currently having issue with the WIFI connecting or staying connected if it connects.
I am not sure if it is r/t to the MaceksMod's rom. I am sure there will be many as soon as the OTA is widly distributed.
That ROM is essentially sense since it is based off of the leak. If you want to found some really goof and stable ICS Roms then I suggest going to infectedrom.com. Santods sense Roms are the best and you won't be disappointed.

Thank you guys for the responses.
I've been using TwistedUmbrella's ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056575 for a little over 24 hours now. I like it but random apps keep on crashing and rebooting the phone.
Some examples include: making a phone call, ruzzle, facebook, gmail, quickpic, etc. I'm not sure if these are app specific but some of the freeze-reboots happen when executing a command such as deleting pictures and entering a username/password.
I don't really know where to start troubleshooting this or if this is just a ROM instability. My install procedure was wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash the kernel that was supplied in the thread (baseKernel-184Mhz_01-14-2013_22.55.zip), flash the ROM, and reboot. Earlier today, I decided to wipe the cache and dalvik again to see what would happen. The ROM does seem to run a little better but I am still experiencing the random reboots.
Have you guys experienced this? Is there a fix to this?

I used MacekMod's ROM for a little while but found the lack of customization to be unappealing. I like using the power widgets on my phone (not sure if it's the correct term but that bar of toggle icons that appears when you slide down the android menu) and was sad that it was not available.

Yea most aosp Roms will because they have such a small footprint. Try unsense on infectedrom.com. Its a heavily desensed rom that is so close to aosp you won't be able to tell a difference and it has a working camcorder too.

I am running this mod and it seems very smooth... took 2 minutes for my SMS to backup using SMS Backup and Restore, taking it about 18 hours to restore them though (ugh... gotta be a better way to move SMS messages from one ROM to another!!!)... anyway, what I am wondering is... it looks like the icy-s camera app is going to work fine for front facing camera and recording video, but how do you make Google+ use that camera instead of the stock one in order to use google hangout???
:crying::crying::crying:
Update?
I am currently running Beta 8.5 RC4... It is running pretty well except radio doesn't seem to be a solid as the old .19, and the camera is flakey with google hangouts. I see there is a 9.5 now... can I do a dirty flash to update? Does it have an updated radio??
Thanks
Now that I've got my ZUGPe my Note is going into semi retirement as mp3 player / cycling gps / htpc remote and I don't care so much about features and customizing as I do about stabiltiy now. I have dealt with varying degrees of instability with many many CM and AOKP variations to stay on Vanilla-ish Android. I really really really hate Touchwiz, but do I have to go back to Touchwiz to get something really stable? I'll cut you off and say maybe my phone just never agreed with CM or AOKP so even if yours is stable mine never quite got there, never more than 2-3 days without a RR or lockup, and usually several RR each day. My old Incredible on CM goes nearly a month before an issue creeps up but to be fair it doesn't get a ton of use. Neither will the Note so I just want something solid and dependable, rather than cutting-edge. Thanks for tossing your opinions at me!
You seem to be very aware that this a loaded question and knowledgable to the fact that what runs good on one, may not on another, so I will respond to this.
I am in the same boat as you and do still enjoy the Note, even though semi- retiring it.
At the moment I am swapping back and forth on 2 roms to determine which I like best. They are older roms and never had a hiccup from neither.
Rootbox and Sons of Android.
I am having trouble however. I like them both.

its PT's also
Carbonrom V 1.8
I too am not happy with touchwiz roms. And seemed always returning to one of pt's builds because they are for me rock solid. But TW.
I have flashed a bunch of roms, and try most any AOSP, AOCP, AOKP, CM, ... searching for a stable daily driver that works all the time.
I have been running Carbon Rom V 1.8 it's 4.2.2 and for my phone stable. Very stable. ALL my phone functions work perfectly, call quality, speaker phone, bluetooth, even my call recording app works. Camera, video, all good.
Really happy with this one. Battery life is a bit better too. If that is even possible with the i717.
I had been trying the nightly builds, and the huber kernel. But was getting an occasional lock up reboot, etc..
Had given up and went back to ol faithful Padawan.
Then found a Carbon Rom release version for our i717, Version 1.8. I did a full wipe, data, cache, and flashed it with TWRP. And the gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip.
No OC but it runs fine without it. Haven't tried the huber kernel with this version, and don't plan to.

I would base this question on "which ROM would I flash on my wife's phone".... She also has the 717, but won't let me put my dirty mitts on it That being said, without question I would put AOKP 4.4.2 on it if she finally relented. One of the most stable I have run, and blownfuze said he has no intention of giving up his note anytime soon. Which means we will get support for a while on that one.

:highfive:Yes, that is a great analogy, "which ROM would I flash on my wife's phone".
Only trouble is her phone is the i317. Carbon does have a release for her phone, but she likes the Jedi X version I have on hers.
I will have to re-investigate the latest AOKP 4.4.2 . I did briefly look at it and didn't get much past the known issues. Glad he fixed them.
I appreciate the developers here, and all the time they spend working and tweaking these ROMS.
However this Carbon works great for my i717. Camcorder, camera, gallery, all working fine. Bluetooth, etc.
I have had only one complaint about speaker phone echo, and I couldn't hear it on my end. When my wife called me from her note 2. I use the speaker phone option on about 1/2 my calls.
Thank you captemo for catching the miss spelled kernel. Wouldn't want someone searching for a mis-spelled anything! :good:
I hope this thread finds it's way to others still loyal to the i717 wanting something other than TW based ROMS. Retired or not, I like everything the device has to operate, reliably.
I did DL "Sons of Android" a couple weeks ago, and the .rar files opened up into something other than a ROM. Guess that one is gone?

I just posted link the other day and gapps for it too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using xda app-developers app
I thought aokp 4.4.2 and all kit kat roms had issues with the display going crazy especially related to games and lock screens. I though the camcorder doesn't work yet for aokp. I am in the same boat. My s4 died so I am back to the old note. I am going to try carbon 1.8 or sons on android, as those are the only download links I can find. Thanks for this post.

Thank you captemo for the direction of the Sons of Android files.:good:
I did DL them. My connection must have been wonky.
I had issues with the Gapps file. It must have been a bad download for me. Tried twice. Got the ROM to load up fine, but without Gapps I didn't get a good testing done. I was using TWRP.
Without an MD5 to be sure my DL was good I probably shouldn't have tried it.
So I reinstalled Carbon V1.8 from my BU.
Since my last post, I did have a FC and reboot related to my BeWeather App. I have also had issues with this App in TW based ROMs I've tried.
I don't load allot of Apps, or run many programs. And the ones I can Greenify, I do. Maybe this is why Carbon works for me?:fingers-crossed:
I reset my weather App to update manually when I use it now. I think it updating as the program opens has been the trouble.
Is there a problem with Auto-Brightness on non TW roms? My display flickers when I unlock my screen. This happened on 4.4.2 roms and 4.2.2 carbon 1.8. Is there a simple fix I am forgetting?
The auto bright setting on the non TW based ROMs I have tried have not been as smooth as TW ROMs. I set the auto function off, and set it to low.
Some of the non TW based ROMs have the slide your finger across the top of the screen to manually adjust brightness. Nice feature.
I went back to the download dropbox provided by captemo and re-downloaded the files, and got a good clean ROM and Gapps. :good:
I am using "Sons Of Android" now, and like it very much! So far so good!
Thank you, captemo :good:

Why did you put this under the other CM 12 Unofficial thread? That really should be what you do, or we'll have duplication of discussion. He does have a place in post 2 reserved for partner builds.

Initially he did exactly that. Then a one of the mods deleted half a dozen posts. Take a look at the mods post in the other thread.
Since the other poster moved on, it's probably best anyway. That way he can update the build dates.
ok, so my brother has a flakey 4g lte. I tried to refresh his phone to stock and he still seems to have some issues.
I would like to throw a custom build on there and I think this would be a great one. He has never been rooted, has taken all the latest OTAs, etc and is S-ON. So... what the best S-OFF to use for the latest firmware one? I am guessing rumrunner? Then from there, TWRP recovery I see is required, but it also says use the new partition layout. Is that the F2FS?
Also, does this rom come with the easy CM updater? Or are they all manual for now?
Thanks.

Is the bootloader unlocked? If not, that's what needs to be done prior to getting S-Off.
Rumrunner should work just fine.
You really need to read and follow the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639180
Captain Throwback has done some amazing work and has significantly extended the useful life of our devices. You'll need to use his TWRP too. Nothing else will work.
Hope this helps.
New build.
New build. Sorry it took a while, I was having trouble getting it to build and I just ended up downloading the sources fresh. I'm going to be RMAing my motherboard after Christmas because it currently works with only a single stick of RAM, so it will be a little bit for more builds. I'll be sure to put a new one out before I do though.

I'm curious if anyone is using this (or any) cm12 rom on an Activated htc evo 4g lte sprint phone. I ask because I have a couple of these phones that are not activated I give my kids to play with. My wife has this phone also and I'm thinning about installing this on her phone but wanted to know if I should expect any issues with data or GPS. We travel allot so a concern is the ability to quickly transition from 3g to 4g back to 3g. With a "stock based" rom it has no problem but I noticed with cm11 it had issues keeping data

You Sir are a CHAMP!
Do you know are the "post-22nd" bugs mentioned in the op still there? I know you're not doing dev on this yourself, just curious if anyone has noted upstream fixes and this thread is pretty quiet.
Wanting to take it for another spin but with small kids and holidays my camera is getting a workout. If not I'll fire it up here in a day or two, check for myself, and report back
Thanks a ton for keeping this going. I'm squeezing every last mile out of this phone as my family is between homes at the moment so I'm squirreling away every dollar I can.

Still doing it on my phone. I'll probably do a new build when I go to bed.
EDIT: Now I'm not an expert at this but this looks like it should fix it, so I guess in the morning I'll find out, I'll be sure to change the OP if it does.

Hey @cmason37, thanks for posting this as I'm always searching for those elusive MM 'Stable' Roms I would like to try that rom, however, the above link has been disabled. If you could repost the link that would be excellent.

btw I wouldn't recommend it, I was trying it and it's preatty buggy and outdated. It doesn't have fm radio and it's using only bottom microphone for video recording (stock 6.0 uses both mics so there is stereo effect). It also doesn't support any new custom kernels because it wasn't updated for ages. The worst thing is that it slows down a lot after few days and you need to reboot. On stock 6.0 with squid kernel the performance drop wasn't that big, I was using it for 30 days without reboot and it was still pretty good.

I don't have any of those problems, except for msybe fm radio but I don't give a crap about that. But, I can flash squid kernel & I don't get performance drops often. So it's literally bug free for me. Maybe you should try flashing it again. After all, bad flashes happen.

My apologies you guys for not getting back earlier. I've been fumigating for bugs.
Those issues you were describing are the exact issues I'm dealing with today on my current ROM a popular CM based true to form option-heavy, stability-light ROM. This is a shame as its been fairly reliable platform for me. The occasional issue that was easily remedied with a reboot, a restore or a reflash. The past few months have been bug after bug for me. Mostly a pesky incompatibility issue with my ROM and OpenGapps.
Its seems all I've been doing lately is testing alternative gapp pkg sources, kernels and mods.
What makes this issue the real tops though is that the ROM I use was just listed as "Official" and "Stable" last month. There may be a weekly update waiting in the basket for me but the basket build server is down.
So....?
Not sure where to go from here. I'll tell you this much though. When I decided to try and root this device 8 months ago I had no idea it involved so much. I can almost write my own svripts, I'm understanding the bugreports I generate and read and i haven't spent this much time in a ToyBox since I was 9.
Lol. I'm not complaining though... I love to learn.
Oh and I still haven't tried the ROM you recommended as of yet. PC seems buggy now too.
