This is the beginning of the return for RoootzBoaaaat.

Built from source, fresh from AOSP--Android 4.1.1

We are changing our focus a bit to speed and stability rather than 1000 features. Hopefully you guys will like it.

Build 2 - Beta - 07-12
Camera/Camcorder fixed - no need to dirty install from previous JB ports
WifiTether Fixed
Voice Search Fixed - no longer have to download offline pack to make it work
SuperSU added to build
Insecure boot - adb remount, etc working now
Root Explorer was updated on the app side, no more issues there

New GApps with the help of Kejar31 adds:
--App restore fixed
--New Music
--New YouTube
--New Gmail
--other random bits

Build 1 - Beta build
Built from AOSP source
su installed, download SuperSU or Superuser apks whichever you prefer.
Install busybox from market "Busybox installer or other"
Google Now/Voice Search works with included Gapps.
RootzBoat wallpapers included
Toro volume fixes applied
Correct ERI included
Various VZW bits included..

This is obviously the second build of this ROM. Fixes and adds will be coming super quick, but wanted to get this out there to give you crackflashers something to do today.

DISCLAIMER: As usual, I am not responsible for what happens to your phone or your life as a result of flashing this. By rooting your device you have already voided your warranty. Proceed with caution.

The captain might have abandoned the ship.

(See what I did there?)

The shores are still far from sight.. I've taken the time to update it to 4.1.1_r4. Done a few other tweaks here and there. I don't have any hosting available or I'd link up.

Since the focus of rootzboat is more for optimizations, there's not too much else I can do, unfortunately. I do have a few things planned, though, that I'm trying to finish up by next week (school starts back up Monday). We need Xoomdev to fix QuickDash instead of playing around with AOKP

I jumped overboard... waters on the other ROM were too sluggish for me... used the nandroid lifeboat to get back on the Rootzboat. Lack of updates has me anxious to flash. I Just want out of beta and maybe some new gapps. At this point the power widget is good enough.

That's was the fastest download ever.
Anyone flash yet? At work and about to do it.

@xoomdev
If y'all want a headstart downloading RootzBoat 5 this will probably be the release http://blamexoomdev.com/downloads/RootzBoat-5.zip

Long press back. Floating power widget shows up, has all the major toggles. Very good so far.

Running very smooth. Battery life excellent.
Only thing Ive noticed is at boot screen is glitchy just as bootanimation finishes

Now that you mention it, my screen glitched slightly at the very end of the boot logo, just before the boot animation kicks in... but I don't really plan on spending much time rebooting.

That's a kernel thing.. I'm not sure WHAT causes it, but it's been there since I added gamma controls to the kernel. Haven't really cared to look into it, honestly. Gives the boot process.. personality

That's QuickDash.. Torch finally works, #blamexoomdev

To get torch to turn off, you have to long press back again.

There's more work to be done for v6.. I don't want to give too much away, but they should be needed and welcomed changes.

I didn't kow this till recently that AOSP Roms will erase/clear system for you, so I'm not surprised your having some luck with that.

Your gapps are very popular at Androidcentral.com , they keep asking for them on my Google apps thread I posted there. http://forums.androi...-aka-gaaps.html I'd be honoured if you chimed in to say "WHAAA's UP"!
