Thank you to all who tested. Now start getting your phones ready for the final build.
Themers:
Check Post #2 for a package of app & framework files. A good majority of the apps are from FRF91 Vanilla Android build so if you have packages that already work with that build then most should work here. Please make sure all packages are compatible. Please use the framework-res.apk provided since it is unique to this ROM. It is much different than the OEM Drodi2 packages.
ROM Developers:
Feel free to use this as a base for your own ROM. Please just respect us and give Matt, Drod and myself the proper credit and a link back to the threads.
History:
Being bored one day and sick of Blur with all the extra services I started to rip the ROM apart. Finally getting it as clean as I can and being forced to have a bit of blur I began a search on how to get rid of it all. I ended up on the MotoDev website to see what I can find when I bumped into the D2 SDK. Shockingly it was a plain vanilla build of Android. I thought why not and tried to boot it up. Ii did ( see first video here[/URL] ) with lots of bugs. The screen res as all off and we had no radio or many other hardware functions. On top of that it ran like a turtle stuck in some molasses. I sent a message of my my buddy Matt4542 and our journey began. From there Drod and I hooked up and now we have this. It has been a long rough week getting this sucker to where it is now. It was fun, frustrating and we nearly killed each other a few times but all ended well since we have a great finished project.
We kind of built AOSP ROM by hand. Some may say it is not a true AOSP ROM but it is. There is no difference between this build and a true AOSP ROM besides any tweaks that the developer may add when creating a ROM from source. We had no choice to do it this way since Moto locked us out of the bootloader (for now and next project). Many of the apps are built from source. About 90% of the app folder is built from source. We added some packages from the D2 that are a bit better and required for hardware reasons. There is NO Blur left in the ROM but for a moto-res.apk file that is required by the framework.
What will this ROM do?
It will give you a true Android Vanilla experience much in the same way the Original Droid (OD) did. It is not loaded with bloatware and everything functions as it should. Facebook will sync with your contacts and you will not have all of your memory being used by wasteful stuff on top of much more. Your phone will run more smoothly and feel a lot faster.
What can you do to help?
The most important thing is to provide feedback. When reporting bugs please be clear and with detailed explanation. Do not say this does not work and leave it that. The more feedback you provide will make it easier and quicker for us to kill any bugs. You may also give us a small donation to help with our continuing development of ROM and *POSSIBLY* get this bootlader cracked. It cannot be done with one device. I have a couple of friends who have experience with low level programming of chips and with their help maybe it can get done. They are Blackberry guys and not going to buy a device just for this. This is nothing more than a promise that it will be tried. I cannot say when and IF it can be done so please keep the questions to a minimum about it. If the project takes off then I will have updates. You can donate to the project by clicking HERE.

Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

I'll be the first to ask - do we need to do all of the wipes if we are upgrading from RC1?

is this the final build?? cause its version 1.0 and are you guys going to provide ota updates?? other than that rom looks AWESOME
Appreciate the hard work guys!

Works great! So much better than the stock D2 ROM.
Cell standby is still an issue

So far so good.
Only two minor things. There is no easy to get to end-call button, which you already know about, and it seems like there is not speech to text support. Not that I really use speech to text, but it could come in handy.
Edit: Nevermind. Might just need to enable it in settings.

Contact Ringtones still don't work
Otherwise, it's gRRRRRRRRReat!

Seems like some bad blood brewing over this ROM on the droidforums page for it. AngDroid/MotoBoy, we all greatly appreciate your work (you too Matt4542! (and anyone else who doesn't get as much time in the lime light!)). As long as you are satisfied with the outcome of the ROM we all appreciate you sharing it with us. Just ignore the lamers that expect you to jump at their every beck and call. It's the first AOSP type ROM for the Droid 2, very first of it's kind for a very locked down phone, which in and of itself is a great accomplishment. If you ever fix anything in Fission, great, if not, I'll continue to look forward to what you develop in the future.
I'm still also curious about your twitter post from the other day, talking about your new Fusion ROM series. Interested to see how that one differs from both stock and Fission.

I am getting the USB problem like I was getting in Beta II. It would connect fine when I first loaded the rom up, and then half the day would pass by and then I can't connect the phone to the computer. Kind of weird. Pretty sure that I can charge from the wall. Just not sure why the USB isn't working.

I wonder if it's something underlying with your phone that's causing that issue. You'd think if it were a common bug you'd see other users complaining about it (as this thread on droid forums is about 8 pages long at this point). Given that it's you, who wrote the tutorials for some of the early D2 stuff, I have no doubt you followed all the steps for installing the ROM. Did you happen to SBF and start stock before going to Fission? I wonder if it could have resulted from flashing over another ROM. Very strange issue though, when I get a good chance to roll my phone up to Fission 1.0 I'll see if I experience the same thing (Thursday is probably a good day to flash, too many phone calls I can't miss between then and now).

Before concluding the phone I would ask if it were happening before this rom. Have you tried any other usb mode to see if it recognizes it? I'm sure you have because you are darkonion...

How is it an issue? If your phone is on for 10 hours and you use cell for 1 hour of course it is going to eat the greatest percentage of battery use. The issue is the time is off now and then.

We tested this on IRC and it is working for everyone who tested.

if ud like a phone apk like this hit me up with a pm and ill send it to u

Does this ROM contain the ability to link contacts?
The reason I ask is because there are a few facebook contacts of mine that do not list their numbers on their profile but I have their numbers in my phone book. And when I installed Fission RC1, Facebook will list them as a contact but will not show them with the profile and with phone numbers I have in my phone. I recall being able to have that ability to link contacts in the stock D2 rom. Is this feature part of the Blur crap?
It really wouldn't even be an issue if the Facebook contacts were not read-only. I'd just add the numbers to their contact information on the phone then... But I can't. Go Facebook.

Go to the contact u want. Hit menu>edit then hit menu>join then u can pick the facebook contact u want to link it to

THIS IS AN ALHPA! Make sure you know what you are doing before flashing because there are a few things you need to do for things to work!
Thanks:
Thanks for cvpcs for publicly posting his source, which I compiled from.
Thanks slayher for his vendor setup, for a huge amount of help building my original AOSP build(I decided to switch to building from cvpcs' afterwards), and for the USB fix.
Thanks blackdroid for the idea to fix the sound.
Thanks to Speels for providing me a server to host this ROM on, and his unending moral support
Thanks to everyone who tested this
Thanks everyone for the constant support when this starting driving me INSANE
Thanks tanknspank for reading this over
Thanks to my girlfriend for letting me work on this and not getting angry(LOL)
Current bugs:
Phone reboots when you press the sleep/wake button
Buttons do not vibrate
Video camera crashes
Alt lock key doesn't work
Accelerometer doesn't work
Not sure about others...
Please report any bugs to [email protected]
Features:
From source AOSP ROM
Extra mods in the settings
Zero Motoblur.
Rotary lock screen(Kinda defeats the purpose at the moment haha)
Lock screen music controls(Again defeats the purpose at the moment )
Built in USB tethering
Eliot Stocker's MusicMod
Cytown phone
More to come...
Pre-install steps:
If you would like USB to work, and to have the ability to pull the battery and always reboot into recovery(as long as you don't sbf) follow these steps. You will need USB debugging enabled for these steps.
Step 1: Download the files here for windows and here for Linux depending on what OS you are running. Linux and Windows only for now.
Step 2: Windows: Run dopreinstall.bat with USB debugging on, on your phone.
Linux: Open terminal and cd to the folder you extracted the zip from. Then type "chmod 0755 dopreinstall.sh" then "./dopreinstall.sh" with USb debugging on, on your phone.
How to install:
Step 1: Download and install Koush's bootstrap application if not already done.
Step 2: Copy Unleashed30Alpha.zip to your sdcard and then unmount
Step 3: Bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery
Step 4: Mount /system in mounts and storage
Step 5: Install Unleashed30Alpha.zip from the sdcard
Step 6: Wipe data/factory reset(Not needed if coming from any Fission release, but recommended, as it may help fix some bugs)
Step 7: Reboot.
Step 8: Once your phone boots, give it around 2-3 minutes before you start using it. Tap the screen every 30-40 seconds to keep it from locking and rebooting.
Step 9: If you get stuck at the Setup Wizard, go back to the "Welcome To DROID2" screen and tap all four corners until it either goes to the home screen, or when you hit the home button it goes to the home screen.
Step 10: Once out of the Setup Wizard, go to your settings, display, and set the display lock to 30 minutes so it doesn't keep shutting off and rebooting.
For USB to work, you will need to have the USB cable plugged in while booting or it will not charge or allow you to copy files to your sdcard. You can always charge through an outlet though.
When you boot, you may get a few force closes. Always select wait on these. You may also get Android System, select wait for that also.
For further support on how to do some of these steps, please join my IRC chat. Go to http://epicroms.com/blog/?page_id=2.
Even tho this is being posted a little after 12AM EST, HAPPY THANKS GIVING!

Lol blackdroid is a really nice guy if you get to know him. *Runs and hides from the angry mob* Kidding He has been trying to help me with other things too.

This is awesome! I can't wait for the bugs to get ironed out, AOSP > Moto.

Nice job man. Good to see more roms for these phones. I have no doubt that in time, this AOSP build will lead to lots of great things. Im just hoping this ROM remains open and free, and doesn't turn into" contributionware" which is quite against the GPL because they are trading software for money ie. "Donations" and then not releasing the source.
Right now Im running the newest squiddly, and even though its based on Blur but has most blur removed, it feels just as fast and smooth as Fission. So I really can't wait for the kinks to be worked out of this, and we can have a clean AOSP Rom which will end up being a great building block for other rom cooks.

I am sorry but what you said here is complete BS!
If you want Fission you are more than welcome to go download it now for free!!! Right Here

Thanks I appreciate it. Although I don't agree with applications for donater's, I still respect it. My rom will always be free, and I am going to be releasing the source on github soon. Blackdroid said he thinks he has a lock sleep/wake fix, so once that is fixed this will go into beta.

Again, so glad to see this rom humming right along.
Wish I could help w alpha testing, but I actually need to use my phone too much!
Looking forward to upcoming releases, loving some of the things you have integrated (read: music controls on lockscreen)

Actually it is not BS at all. Go study the GPL for yourself. What they are doing is in violation of the GPL, its ok to give a precompiled version to donators early, IF you are also releasing the source code at the same time. They are not releasing the source code when they release it to donators, and as far as I've seen they have yet to even make their git repo public.

Although I'm not going to download the alpha verison of this ROM just yet, I just can't wait for the final version. I'm a big fan of your work Matt. Keep going, we're rooting for ya.

Whoooooo! Thanks, Matt!

Congratulations Matt this is exciting, that its all coming together.Awesome job

This is gonna be great. I have no doubt this is gonna ROCK! keep it up Matt!

Being a Fission user I am very happy to see this coming together. I used Fission for a while but don't like the Donationware and not following the GPL.
All things aside I am just happy to see alot of the things Matt has added since his Unleashed was the first Rom I used.

Was just thinking about something last night -- not sure how implementable it is in reality, orif there already exists a way to achieve this....
I would _love_ it if I could bypass the lockscreen on slide open. Is there any way to accomplish this? I can't understand why this isn't the default or otherwise integrated....
Anyway still looking forward to a more stable release...keep up the good work!

There's a Market app called "No Lock" that does this.

[GPL- Violation] Full HDMI Mirroring(Released)--(NEW UPDATED APP)

:::EDIT:::
FROM Orrebmas himself
Hi,
I was told and verified that the donate button does not work in the version I released. I fixed and re-uploaded it to android central. Please update your post.
Thanks for bringing it to XDA.
-- orrebmas
I have updated the app to the new updated version with the donate button working!
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/63799-fullhdmi-official-fullhdmi-beta-discussion.html ----BETA Thread Discussion thread made by Orrebmas
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/35955-evo-hdmi-out-mirroring.html---ORIGINAL THREAD
Thanks to Orrebmas over at Android Central there is a working BETA version of the FULL HDMI for EVO.
All,
It is here finally, FullHDMI "limited time" public beta is attached in this post. This version is to mass test the app and get feedback before the next step.
I will be making an announcement later today about the beta and its purpose, but for now I am attaching it and going to get some sleep. You will need the Kernel posted several pages back on this thread to enable some features, and root. I just realized that non-root is broken as of this version.
Some of the things you need to know about before tinkering with the app, pasting quickly:

Most TVs have multiple options for aspect ratio. For example, zoom, hourglass, etc. Just make sure this setting is set to fill the screen.
I am not saying that is the case for all of you, it just was for me. Once I changed the setting, it filled the screen perfectly without messing with the X Y resolutions.
And also:

1- To achieve hardware acceleration, video memory (minimal) has to be used. Some poorly coded programs that also use video memory will try to grab a hold of the entire memory block instead of the available. This will cause them to crash when you are in hardware mode reserving a small block of memory to yourself. The only application that I found to be doing this is, strangely enough, HTC's Gallery (specifically video playback mode). Gallery video playback will keep trying to acquire the whole video memory, put the phone in a tight infinite loop doing so and eventually force close (after about 40 sec).
Compatibility or software mode does not use video memory and is safe to keep on while launching Galley video playback. Compatibility mode also does not make use of the "supercharged" feature, custom res or fullscreen mode.
2- FPS: Your frames per second will not be the same as on your phone. This is because the app is designed to keep the phone as primary display and output a secondary to the HDMI port. You are also outputting, most likely, a 1280x720 pixels which is almost ~2.5 times more the normal output. So in total you are pushing 3.5 lcd size screen worth of pixels (phone lcs + hdmi). Things can be improved if we freeze the phone display, but that wont be mirroring (maybe a feature in FullHDMI 2). Expect, however, to get more FPS in 3-D games (I get upwards of 40 fps on Raging Thunder 2) than 2-D sine he 2-D engine does the mirroring.
3- Lag: Some TVs (like Insignia) use an image enhancing and noise reducing engine. This extra processing puts the TV about half a second behind the phone making games unplayable by looking at the TV only. Watching movies is fine since nobody cares if the phone is a little faster than the TV. On this Insignia TV, I had to go in and turn off two image enhancing and noise reducing features, and now my phone and TV track together. I know Sony has its own engine, I do not know if the extra processing there introduces lag. I have two other TVs with no lag issues, but then they don't use any image enhancing engines.
Again, the app should not lag in mirroring, if you experience any lag then please check your TV and share your observation with us.
4- This app was not designed to display youtube or other apps that already work over HDMI. To use such apps you should stop FullHDMI from driving the HDMI signal first.
ENJOY
iF YOU DECIDE TO THANK ME FOR POSTING THIS UP, I APPRECIATE IT BUT NOT NEEDED..I DID NOT DEVELOP THIS APP IN ANY WAY, JUST POSTED IT FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT.

IMPORTANT..YOU WILL NEED TO UNZIP THE FILE YOU DOWNLOAD THEN THE KERNEL AND APK ARE IN THERE TO INSTALL!!! You will only need to do this for the RAR file. if downloading from a phone look below
I also uploaded the APK and kernel for everyone on top of the rar file so they can just do it on there phone also. So from the phone download the apk file and the zip file. place those on root of sd card and your good to go. Just boot into recovery and install kernel.

Very cool, but what kernel?

the Original developer said its based off a Netarchy kernel. he didnt specify. i posted to find out which one in specific and when i find out i will post the info up.
when it loads up in your phone it says
KERNEL

Great post. I guess we will see how this is received now. I must tell you that the mods here tell me that do not not like the spirit in which they say this app was developed . I hope this thread does well to inform people of this type of app and its uses... I also hope those who are against this app being discussed here can refrain from posting and just wait for the dev that they like to come up with their own app that is actually out and available to be tested and used .
I have been using the app for a week or so and am very impressed to say the least . Watching movies wherever j go from my phone has been most awesome.

yea i saw the other thread..i would have posted in there but it was locked. I only posted this Up because he had officially released it to the public and didnt say exclusive to any site. PLEASE tho mods if you dont like this thread let me know. Thanks.
Yes this app can have benefits in many many ways. i opted to wait for this version as the last release was not supposed to be released. I havent had the chance yet to use this app as my hdmi cable should be getting here either today or monday at the latest.
FOR EVERYONES SAKE PLEASE IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY PLEASE DONT POST IN THIS THREAD. WE DONT NEED ANY DRAMA!

This i am not sure of as i only have a sense based Rom. I remember a lil while back that someone said it would work with only Sense Roms on the original Thread but dont take my word on this one. I would suggest testing it out to find out. of course make sure you backup incase anything happens.

Ah, ok. Looks like I'll be waiting for Team Win to make it work on CM. Thanks!

Any rooted Sense based rom. Just dont forget to flash the kernel.

the Original developer said its based off a Netarchy kernel. he didnt specify. i posted to find out which one in specific and when i find out i will post the info up.
when it loads up in your phone it says
KERNEL

I see....I wonder if any Netarchy kernel will do? I'm running 2.6.32.27 version 4.3.2 nosbc-havs more. This kernel for me has great battery life and speed on Myn's rom. It would be a shame to switch but this app is too tempting to ignore

Just nandroid your current setup. You need the fullhdmi kernel for this to work. i will post in a few.

im not sure what he meant but he said you would have to flashe the kernel for SOME of the features???? makes me wonder what features.
He said this was just an announcement and he would post up more info later..cant wait.

I am currently using this app with MYN's warm two point two Rls 5 and the battery life is great for me , I am a heavy user ....

It's a shame that there are not a lot if kernel devs that are interested in work with this all. If there are I hope they speak up..

I agree. I think overclocking may help with performance.

does this make the hdmi work on ay type of tvs now? coz my phone wouldnt work with my sony tv but works on newer tv.

Thanks!!! Will try this now!

[ROM][ALPHA]Honeycomb - OG Droid

THIS ROM IS STILL IN THE ALPHA STAGES!!!!
Here's where you can download the most recent version:
Honeycomb Alpha V0.5.8
Very few things work in this rom, but for good measure here's the list of things that DO NOT work:
Data
Camera
SDCard
Gps
Calls
Battery Status
[ALT] and (hardware) key
Screen Colors (red=blue/blue=red)
App FCs
Original Honeycomb port for the OG Droid thread started by R2doesInc:
Here
======> I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR PORTING HONECOMB TO THE OG DROID
I've put a lot of time and effort into trying to modify R2doesInc's version of HC to function better on the OG droid. There are a lot of problems and I have a small understanding of that I need to edit or replace to get some of them working, but as anyone who knows anything about computers, partial wont work. If anyone is interested in helping, please post here or shoot me a PM.

There was never really a problem to begin with. All you have to do is touch anywhere you can type,
when you do an icon will appear next to the time. Press it and turn off the hardware keyboard.
Its a nifty function to switch between which keyboard you want to use
(especially since i couldn't fix the [ALT] key the same way I fixed the hardware keys).​

I have my gf's old inactive Droid to play with, and I want to make it into a media device (wifi internet, mp3, games, etc) so this would be perfect for what I want to do with it. I would be more than willing to donate for an operational HC port to this tired, but still good, old device. All I would need is wifi, charging, and usb/pc connectivity. The rest is bonus.
Edit:
On a side note, I don't have much/any real experience with Android development, but I do have some knowledge of programming. I downloaded the SDK and other develpment items a while ago to try, but didnt dive in much. If you would be willing to work with a newb, I would be more than happy to give a bit of time to the cause...

I'm currently working on the USB interface and let me tell you, its a tough nut to crack. I've done some research on it and it seems that there is some bad news (possible delays for a HC USB patch) and some good news (a glimmer of hope in the fact that some other devices have gotten USB functionality). I'm still looking into it, but for now, the only things that I know need to me modified/replaced are '/system/etc/vold.fstab' and '/system/bin/vold'. If there are any other files that I may need to edit or add, anyone, please let me know.
As for the donation part, I don't really deserve donations for what I'm doing. R2doesInc is the one that did all of the work in porting this to the OG Droid. All I'm doing is modifying it to give it more functionality.

I don't mind working with a 'newb' as I too am a newb to the development of roms. I've already learned a lot about working with roms and editing files since I fully dove into working on this. What I need you to do is PM me and I'll give you a basic run down of what I've done (so you can have the same changes made to your copy of OMHC), some notes on what files I've worked with and a list of files that I know of that are connected to each problem. Who knows, by the end of this project we may both be considered devs.
What you need to do is go the R2doesInc's original thread (link in the first post) and follow a link on his page to download the OMHC_Sholes.zip found on his development website. I've emailed him to see if he is willing to help with programming, script writing or advice on how to get some of the functions to work and I'm currently awaiting his reply.
EDIT - The BOLD statement above is no longer true. I have the most recent version linked in the first post. NO ONE HAS TO DO ANY MODDING TO THE ROM TO HAVE THE FUNCTIONS I HAVE ADDED

While it's nice to see forum members contributing to the poll I've attached to this, why don't we get some conversation rolling on this subject. I understand that this idea is a little far-fetched, but with some support and ideas, this could be more functional.
I'm really putting all of the extra time I've got into this (It's not much and I'm currently cutting into my sleep schedule A LOT), but I can't really get anywhere without the help of some experienced or semi-experienced advice. If you have any knowledge of what files are needed for some of the above problems to function, then please post with some advice. The same goes for editing those files.
I'm not a dev, but I'd like to have a more in depth knowledge of how to modify roms from the ground up.

i wish i could give a little bit of help, but i have no idea what i would be doing on the dev side. but i agree, the D1 community is dead. the only thing i could help with is trying to post something on droidforums.com because i think that that site is more active with D1 people. hopefully that helps out a little, but i wish you the best of luck bro and i will be one of the first ones downloading it once its gets stable, i have been waiting for honeycomb for a while. so ill help by giving feedback then.

That would be great, feel free to put a link to this page there if that's allowed. Any dev that could help would be welcomed with open arms

Fixed A Problem
UPDATE - Alpha V0.2
Superuser permissions added
Its the old style and you may have to back out to the home screen (press home soft key in the bottom left of the screen or by pressing search and then the back soft key), but it works. I've been able to use rom manager to reboot into recovery and give Set CPU root access (even though the darn thing FCs after any attempt to change the CPU speeds.

I'm on the D2, but it would be great to see some development for honeycomb, because it seems like once it gets onto one device working well, it spreads like a disease (a good disease... like... something good that spreads like a disease ahaha). The development at droidforums tends to be semi-alive for the OG Droid, though, because I see new posts there almost daily. I'm sure the community would love to help, since there seems to be a pretty solid core of OGD developers there!

Honeycomb would definitely be a great disease to have spreading around. From what I understand the ZTE Blade and the HTC HD2 are the two phones with the most features enabled from HC. Most others are basically in the same boat as the OG Droid.
I'm still digging around a lot to see if I can find anything else to get to work. I'm still having a lot of problems getting the SD Card to mount. The most frustrating things is while running the HC rom, I can enable USB debugging, but my computer (no matter what program I'm using) doesn't recognize my phone. I'll jump between droidforums and here to see about getting anything working.
---UPDATE FOR ROM---
Ok, so this isn't actually anything big. I installed rzr recovery on my phone and used it to overclock my phone to 1100MHz. The rom runs a lot smoother with the overclock, but there's still a lot of lag. I still need to figure out how to make the Hardware accel work.
BE CAREFUL WITH THIS RECOVERY. IT WAS INTENDED FOR RZ ROMS AND MAY NOT LOAD YOUR BACKUPS CORRECTLY!!!
I've also noticed that some apps like to FC when trying to perform certain functions. Maybe because they're not for HC, but I'll be looking into it. Also, I've been kind of ignoring a problem with coloring because Its not all that important, but I'm adding it to the "to do" list

This is great. Keep up the good work friend!

Update - Minor Thread tweaking
I cut out all of the fat and renamed the thread. Also added a link to download Alpha V0.2
I'm still looking for somewhat experienced devs to take a look under the hood and try to help out. Anyone who would like to test the rom can now that I've uploaded it to the web.
Please, PLEASE remember that this rom is still in alpha stages and needs a lot of work or overseeing from an experienced dev. If you notice any problems that are not listed on the main page, please let me know so I can add it to the "to do" list.

Sorry for the delay in a response, Mastur. I have a 7 week old and a new house as well as working nights, so its been short on free time. I will get you a PM tomorrow and try to give you a hand from there. Thanks!

No worries man. I've been hard at work, but I still need help with this. My friend is familiar with xml and html but not with the android OS. So I don't know how much help he'll be. I don't know anyone familiar with java, but I'm not sure how important that really is...

HUGE update coming a little later! A lot of work finished and screen shots uploaded
EDIT - Update's in!!!! The link to the new alpha of Honeycomb is in the first post. Happy downloading =)

thanks man this is pretty cool

Updated link in first post. Better hardware acceleration, still not perfect

Looking great! Keep it up!

[Q] currently in the middle of researching....

ok so my wife is getting frustrated with the bloatware/sense reboots on the mt4gs....(I have stressed to her the importance of backing out of apps the correct way and not task killing but I guess old habits die hard...)
At any rate I'm researching/reading through the threads on here and I've got just a few questions that I haven't seen come up yet (in the same iteration that I'm thinking of)
- How much different is this phone from the Sensation z710e? (aside from screen size & physical keyboard)
- I'd like to just root and remove the bloatware and keep the phone stock (no rom install) [ok, she would like it to stay stock, I'm leaning towards bulletproof myself] so the question is:
Is it possible to stay with factory settings after rooting (s-off)/de-bloating this phone so that she can continue to receive o.t.a updates? (odds are though that o.t.a updates may put her to s-on again, possibly)
- Is there a way to exit the internet browser and have it reset, i.e: press home screen after browsing, then go back into internet and have the home screen come up and not last viewed site?
- sorry for my long winded statement/questions I just kind of think of way too many things at once.
- FWIW, the h-boot is 1.44.0007 so I'm fairly certain I'd have no issue using alapharev and the walkthrough guide on here to s-off and root.
- titanium backup is not recommended for the bulletproof rom? that sucks, but Blue must have his/her reasons. ( I think I'm misreading this but I'm not sure yet, there are a lot of 'link-to' posts in the first post of that thread)
- anyone know if any of the following apps aren't working with the themes or the rom? (yeah I know this would be better geared towards the Bp rom thread but why make two separate posts)
+handcent mms (used in place of stock messenger service)
+beautiful widgets HD
+live wallpapers in general
Sorry for the overly noobish-ness...please be gentle

I don't think you will receive ota updates unless u are not rooted, however there are countless apps that will let you remove anything you want once you are rooted.
I would imagine that if you delete the stock messaging app and you are only left with handcent, it will take over everything automatically and you should have no issues... However I wouldn't try that until you made a nandroid backup in clockworkmod recovery
Sent from my RubiX ICS Infused using Tapatalk

Ota updates will always be posted onto the forums. The latest one turned the phone s-on and unrooted though, so I didn't try it

I think on this one, the only way to solve it will be to stop using a task killer. You shouldn't be having any problems like this, certainly not to the point of being 'frustrated' with it, so it's pretty conclusive that the task killer is your issue.
The problem is that apps don't get to shut down correctly, any data in use either doesn't get cleared or becomes corrupted, and the longer this process continues the worse it gets.
I know it's hard to kill old habits, but she will continue to have a worse and worse Android experience on any device with any ROM as Android grows unless she stops using a task killer.

Yep, you should have no issues, it's pretty straightforward. You can just run the program, flash superuser and be done with it, but I would also recommend installing Rom manager from the market and updated your clockworkmod to the official one for the device.
Might as well update superuser too, but you can then leave it alone and call it done.
Will be stock and fine until an OTA is applied, then you'll probably lose root and possibly the ability to get it back.
You can install bloater and busybox (as per the bloater thread) and be able to remove stock stuff easily with it once you get root.

(he)
Some people have used titanium and it's been fine, i'm still on the fence about it.
Issue was I was changing a lot of things, and when people restored app data to things i've changed it caused problems - so the best way to handle that was to say don't use it.
I know the thread is long now for the Bulletproof ROM, but in it there are some pretty detailed instructions on how to use Titanium with the ROM that people generally agree upon. I've never tried it so can't say personally.
I'll eventually put it back in, but i'm pretty busy with work right now and getting time in my dev chair is hard - hopefully i'll get a break in my schedule so I can get some work done soon. You should be able to use it, just don't try to restore any data from another ROM or previous version of Bulletproof and you should be alright.

Beautiful widgets HD and live wallpapers work fine, never used handcent so can't say, but don't see why it wouldn't work.
If it ends up not working, post in the thread and i'll fix it.

That right there is what makes xda great. ^^^^^
Thank you.
On a side note, the megaupload site was taken down....so I'm daring to ask the following question: the 'how-to-root guide >>>XDA LINK<<< said to d/l other files instead of the ones from alpharev's site.....they were hosted on megaupload. Now what ? lol
Why can't the files downloaded from alpharev's site work?
I see that in the link, the Op said that it is the adb tools for the MT4GS, why wouldn't the current adb tools I have work/ones d/l from alpharev's site?

I've always used the file from the author, I got it from them when it was first available, and just recently when a friend of mine got this phone.
Always works fine for me, and I would rather use the tool from the original author anyways generally speaking.
When you run Revolutionary tool, either install clockworkmod or not at your choosing, it doesn't matter because when you're done with it all you should go to the market and download ROM Manager. Then you can use it to upgrade or install your clockworkmod to the most recent version ( 5.0.2.7 ) directly, it will find the phone, download the right version, and install it for you. Couldn't be easier.
You do have to have superuser (root) access to use ROM Manager, so make sure to root it after running the Revolutionary tool.
