Many annoyances I've found have been removed, including all unnecessary Motorola apps. The Motorola docks have been replaced with Google's standard ones - I find them more useful.
It's based on a hybrid of SHOLS_U2_02.36.0 for central Europe, and SHOLS_U2_03.11.0 for Telus, with North American frequencies enabled. Uses LauncherPro as the default, and only bundled launcher, includes the Dalvik cache hack, and will overclock the CPU to 1100MHz. To some, this may be excessive, but the Cortex A8 is an extremely capable CPU, which, I've found, has absolutely no trouble running at even 1250MHz while being absolutely stable. At 1100MHz, the device remains cool to the touch, aside from when there's heavy 3G activity - something that occurs even at stock speeds. That said, battery life continues to be as good, if not better, than a stock firmware.
The overclock is automatically adjusted based on the load of the CPU. If you rarely do intensive tasks with your device, it will rarely reach its max clock speed. This helps to ensure cool, reliable operation while being completely unnoticeable by the end-user.
If you would like to change, or disable overclocking, you can do so with GOT's OpenRecovery. It will override the default settings.
JIT is NOT installed. If you'd like JIT, it can be installed via OpenRecovery.
What you can expect from V4:
-Improved battery life
-Considerably snappier performance all-around

-Unbeatable stability (weeks upon weeks of uptime)
-A new theme
V4.1 Update:
-Interactive Governor added (backport by nadlabak)
-Updated Messaging icon
-Uses Google DNS for faster host resolves
V5 Changelog:
-Plenty of performance enhancements
-Updated Market (thanks antonyfl)
-Switched to ADW Launcher
-Other stuff I can't remember.
V5.1 Changelog:
-Updated maps/adw/facebook
-Modified Phone.apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8120125)
-Bugfixes
-Additional scheduler improvements
-Reduced size
V5.2 Changelog:
-Fixed setup page glitch
You'll notice the power menu has an entry labeled "Yearly". It's reboot. I'm too lazy to find the reboot string. Yeah, it looks weird, but it works. If you don't like it, just swap out android.policy.jar with one from an earlier version.

A video of the boot/shutdown process:
I'd like to thank Jedipottsy for the base theme design. The post can be found here.
When upgrading from version 3.0 or earlier, or coming from a different "rom" entirely, I very strongly suggest you wipe your device prior to flashing. You don't have to, but you wont receive many of the performance gains without doing so.
Future versions will not necessitate, or recommend, a wipe. Including 4.0 to 4.1.
For those who require 900/1800/2100 frequencies, they can be enabled by applying the update.zip below. Be sure you've already installed the backup before you run the update.zip, however. Further localization, such as keyboard layout, can be accomplished using OpenRecovery.
Big thanks to peterdelara for the mirrors.

It may need some tweaking. I haven't used apps2sd personally, but i'll definitely look into it.
How do I apply this file?

Armani G said:

You'll have to flash the vulnerable recovery .sbf if you haven't got it already, and run OpenRecovery, or any other means of applying a nandroid backup. OpenRecovery is menu-based, so it's probably the easiest method.
Simply extract the .7z file, and place it in /sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery/

I've found battery life to be as good as when I bought it, if not better, and HSPA is working.
Im on your backup right now and i must say whatever you did to it is amazing... this phone is running so fast its crazy! Looking forward to more updates...

can someone tell me if app2sd works
Is there a chance,that you lowered the cpu speed?at about 720 or 800 or something?
I know its been said that the processor can handle it,but i just dont feel so good doing it,you must be a risky dude to do it
I think app2sd,creates more problems than it solves...
I hear all the time about weird things it does...
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
I had installed MilestoneOverlock and SetCpu. You just need to set frequency as you want, and voltage on procesor, because i think default max voltage in this rom is too high- on 1000MHz i have 60vsel and it works fine.

On the contrary, I don't take risks with my phone - I depend on it daily for work.
That said, the CPU speed can be changed by modifying /system/bin/boot_script/51_overclock.sh.
Simply change the 1100000 to the clock speed of your choice (in kHz) and the vsel to the lowest you can get while still being stable.
The easiest way to go about this is with Root Explorer, but you can do it with adb as well.
OP,
I'm sure you've done it...have you done the A-GPS fix in your backup?
Thanks,
app2sd does not work on this kernal er nano backup i just get stuck in bootloop crap im just gunna wait for froyo
when i do a nano restore all my apps are gone i wtf this is not good if u have app2sd installed some one tell me what's going on here??
dunno did a wipe tried to restore it restores all my setting but market is gone allot of stuff is not theremy messages are still there wtf man all my system apps gone market down loads etc
Looks awesome! Got it loaded on my Telus Milestone fine.
First time modding my phone, went ok I suppose.
Thanks!

--Edit--
Figured out how Superuser Permissions works ;P
i wish app2sd worked i have a ton of apps had to use titanium back up to restore this changed my sys files crap good for those who dont use app2sd i suppose
Ok, I am new to this. yesterday I rooted my phone to remove the annyoing camera sound. That worked fine. Now I used your backup and after that I only come to the bootloader with err:A5,69,35,00,23. I then tried to restore my own backup but still it stops in bootloader. What have I done wrong?
Edit: I flashed G.O.T. SHOLS_U2_36.0 released for UK so now the phone is working againg. Isn't this nandbackup supposed to work on all milestones?

It should work for all of them, but I sold my UK milestone, so I can't test it with anything but a Telus one. Did it say the flash was successful?
Perhaps if you restore it without flashing boot, it'll start successfully.

I've put together a ROM for myself and figured I should share it. This ROM isn't skinned and has as much removed as possible while still maintaining functionality.
This ROM is, of course, deodexed and zipaligned. The APKs have been OptiPNG'd save for the few that became corrupt after this process. This is in an effort to reduce footprint of the ROM and, hopefully, increase overall speed of the phone.

After installation, you'll have approximately 45MB of your internal storage in use.
This ROM does not include a kernel. Find one and flash it on top of this. I recommend GeniusDog254's MixUp kernel. That's what I use and can confirm it works.

What is Apophis?
If you feel donatey, go here and donate to XDA. I hear you get a nifty star next to your name.
Here is all the removed stuff in one flashable zip. The nice thing about Clockwork Recovery is that by default it does not check for signature. As a result of that, you can download the removed zip, open it with WinRAR/WinZip and delete all the things you don't want. Close it up, flash what's remaining on top of the ROM and you'll be golden. No more screwing around with ADB. Most everything in here is removed for a reason though.
Flashable Modded TouchWiz 3.0 Launcher - 100% Kanged from Schizo's ROM D:
Flashable 'Clock on Bottom' Lockscreen Mod - Thanks kab0b0 - Screenshot
The smaller flashable zips in Schizo's thread should work here as well.
------------
I have included the DRM files in this ROM in order to allow the stock video player to function properly. If you do not want to have to worry about killing the DRM service each boot, download Startup Cleaner 2.0 from the market and disable the startup of the two applications pictured below. You'll need to change the filter in the top right corner to "System Apps" first.
------------
KNOWN ISSUES:
Genie Widget will force close randomly. This has happened on every Android phone I've owned on every ROM. If anyone knows a fix for this, PM me please. $%*& you, Genie Widget.
Time Without Signal
Settings > About Phone > Battery Use > Cell Standby
If you see Time Without Signal in the 30 - 50% range and you haven't been to a no coverage area recently, you're being affected by this bug. Activate and deactivate airplane mode once each boot and you'll see your time without signal percentage fall. This should save battery. (This bug is affecting all DI18 builds. Hopefully Froyo will fix it.)
------------
Greetz:
Boombuler for allowing us to use AppWidgetPicker.
Schizopunk for pointing me in the right direction when it came to several features of the ROM. Specifically the shutdown animation and the Fascinate music player. Thanks, bruddah.
Noobnl for providing the original files this was built from, and essentially making the whole damn thing possible.
Geniusdog254 for providing the kernel that causes this ROM to run well.
Let me know if anyone needs to be added.

Here's a fail safe install method:
1) Use Odin to revert to a stock install of DI18
2) Flash Clockwork Recovery
3) Reboot into Clockwork, wipe data and cache.
4) Flash the ROM.
5) Flash a rooted Kernel.
I followed the above steps exactly. I got a force close while media scanner was running. After that, Browser worked 100%. No force closes or any kind of errors. I rebooted and tried the Browser again and it had no problem there either.
I'm adding links to a newer version which includes the newest Market and fixes the Pandora force close. If you're on an older build and need Pandora fixed, push the build.txt I'll attach here in a moment to /system/build.prop. Thanks~
Waiting 90 secs for download now! Looks good. Will report any bugs.

Reason I dint post any,because they are not really new roms just other peoples roms lightened up and tweaked.But if people want I will post my own personal themed barebones and regular roms that fly as far as speed goes.
I have a themed barebones around 86MB with overclocked kernel,and regular rom that im rockin right now which is barebones with crappy apps removed and competely replaced with better ones,new lwp's,themes,themed swype and themed launchers,i squeezed all this into120MB.
I can post both tomorrow if people want.

I haven't tested the music player too much. Deleted my SD's mp3s last night by mistake; will load them back up and see what the deal is.
Update: I am getting the force close. Will look into a fix.
Update update: Looks like the other ROMs are having the same issue. Will probably revert back to stock on next push, or would you guys like the modded music with the 4x4 widget? Let me know. Will continue to look into a fix for disc view though; I think this player looks good.

i think the problem was addressed in shizos epic experience rom.. check his thread. maybe theres a fix he can share
Great job, I haven't experienced any issues w/ browser, but I have yet to run hard test.
As for the disc view, the rest of players don't have this feature, so just have to learn to live w/o it. I've used paid mixzing, and the music mod in the past and this one I like better.
I haven't installed SetCPU to overclock past the default 1000Mhz on MixUp yet and I already pull a 1036 quad score.
Only obvious issue I've caught so far is the market is still the older version.
Rom definitely has potential, keep up the good work.

I looked briefly and didn't see anything, but that thread's massive. I'll go through it again and see if I can find anything. Currently trying to find a system dump for the Fascinate... maybe there's another file that needs to be pushed to fix it.
EDIT: I did see a poster claim in Shizo's thread that disc view was fixed in the last release. I just ran diff on his last two versions and didn't see any relevant changes. Still looking for a decent Fascinate system dump.

QUIRKS
-The Blur Email app (default email app) will FC if you do not have an account added through My Accounts. Just add an account first.
-If you're using another launcher besides ADW, do not use the 'Search' widget. That's for ADW only. It'll get stuck at the top of your screen if you use it on LauncherPro. Use the 'Google Search' widget instead.
-Swype is not preinstalled, but this ROM installs a folder called 'ApeX' on your sdcard, where there will be a working version of Swype for you to install, if you so choose

Got a quick question. In your DX video preview, you said that the firmware for the DX needs to be 2.3.320 and the new Froyo build 2.2.1. Is this also the case for the Droid 2, or are we good to go on the OTA 2.3.20?

This is deffinatley my rom once the minimalist themes are ported over.
The rom looks very cool especially with the awesome transition animations, do u think you could pm me and tell me how you would build that into a rom?
Thanks so much,

This looks pretty darn sweet. Any known bugs or issues with the rom? How is the overclocking? Know it's relatively useless but any word on how quadrant scores compare?
I may give this a try once the themes are over too, me likes it.

Using the oc app from the market, running at 1.45, I ran a quad of 1774 and my linpack was 19.894. Pretty solid numbers. As far as I can tell all the bugs have been worked out. FM radio even works
* Im not sure why, but I seem to be getting worse service with this rom. My girls stock D2 has 3 bars in our house, and mine use to Now, and since I flashed it, Im getting 0-1 bar in m house.
What "minimalistic" themes are you guys referring to? There are themes available in the 2nd post.

3 questions
Is this a AOSP rom like Epic Unleashed?
Does it have some of the cool settings like in Epic Unleashed?
Will this ROM work with Droid 2 2.3.20 update?
(Kind of a dumb question

Try dialing *22899. It relocates your phone and syncs them to the nearest towers. Kinda just updates your signal to the network. Sometimes when flashing a new rom I lose signal or i don't get 3g right away, then I do that and it works fine.

Good to see this. gonna try today!
The base is ee-19. This was not built on pick and pack or anything else. The rom may use piece of a code some where out of another rom or from some one. That I added to work. Everything in the rom was implemented by myself.
Battery Icon is only red when below 10%

The following was taken in order of stock clock to 1300mhz. On Otb Reloaded 1.6. Govenor set to performance to keep cpu from scaling down and scheduler was the defualt. Benchmarks I am not going to argue over so don't bother waisting your time. Performance may also vary as I find either otb or voltage control to be weird at times. Also these are not peaks.
What was removed:
Bloat uscc apps, Some samsung useless memory hog apps, Touchwiz launcer, Stock dialer, Stock mms, Probably some other stuff that is minor,
What was addded:
Phoenix reloaded boot animation from my desire phoenix, 100 percent charge and discharge battery icons/mods, Go launcher, Go plug-ins, Go Contacts, Go Sms, Themed menus, Themed icons, Reboot options, Puzzle lock, Themed market. Blue themed gingerbread keyboard Miui Themed music player, Superuser, Esfile Explorer, Voltage control app, Updated apps that are on the market, Updated host so adds are blocked (No need to use any type of blocker), added malware fix and possibly forgetting something else.
Tweaks done not found in any other rom for the mes:
Entire rom was optimized. This means that rendering images will be quicker in the included apps, possibly gained battery life, and a smaller foot print to boot.
Apps that receive updates or stock apps people may not like that is still in the rom. Are moved to data on boot. This means no duplicates in system or data when the app would get a update. Also means some stock apps can be removed from manage applications.
Entire rom was zip aligned when built.
Added zipalign on boot to the data partition. Why only the data partition? Only it should need done since the rom was. Google zipalign to see what it really does.
Added memory tweaks.
Added ram tweaks so the rom wasn't so laggy. It also will allow multi-tasking a bit better. You will see the quickness once installed. Also by the above screen shots. This should help with battery life also. I play to much to document the truth or not so someone will have to see. There is also some other features I may be missing out on.
Install Instuctions:
Download the following file and place it on you sd-card:http://2fastroms.com/dm_eds/download.php?id=20
Will be under install instructions.
FIRST DISABLE LAG FIX and be on ee19.
Wipe/format data followed by format system. (Even though the updater-script does this. I still get issues not doing it. Then install zip > Phoenix-Reloaded-1.1.zip
Wait for install to finish and reboot. Reboot may take a min or two so don't freak out. Once booted proceed to the setup instructions.
Setup Instuctions:
First you need to setup go sms to work right since the stock was removed. Go to it and open it. Read the little messages if you want. Then hit menu when at the message screen. Go to settings>important tips>stock sms releated. Check mark stock sms uninstalled. Go back to settings and mms settings. Set maximum mms size to 1m (Max uscc allows).
Go back to settings and Send Settings. Check mark split large messages.
Go back to the home screen. Hit the contacts icons setting it to use default go contacts. Also dial *228 for good measure. I believe this is it.
Questions:
Help I am roaming or get poor service. Try to move from the spot you are if signal is low and perform a prl update using *228. If it doesn't work try a few times with better signal till the roaming indicator goes off. If it doesn't I am not to sure what to say.
Help my data keeps going dormant. Trying to access the web you get a prompt about your connection. Only way I found to fix it was to odin 2.1 checking repartition. Then update to ec-10 to ee-19. You might get away with doing ec-10. I have yet to find the real cause to it but this isn't the only rom affected.
Support:
Official support will be at my forum at the following link: http://www.2fastroms.com So if you have a problem and I don't answer on here right away please make a post on the forum. Where one of my staff will relay the message to me.
Credits:
Ante for the base on the market.
Fab for the gingerbread keyboard port.
Avreen & Nrosier for the style of the original Battery Icon.
The guys that designed the g4 icons.
Phidelt82 for the one jar file to enable puzzle lock.
Opps forgot a credit that I didn't mean to. Which was the creator of some of the blue icons and a few other pieces from the steel blue theme. I know Phidelta82 I believe did the port but unsure of the real maker at the moment. In which if someone kindly said who or they contacted me. I will add the said person.
Also for future reference before pulling something out of my rom to put in another one. At least ask first. Don't take it the wrong way as I don't mind to help or share anything. The other thing is it may not work or cause other issues depending on what is nabbed.
First!. Had to say it
Keep up the good work

Just when you think you have it idiot proof, they come out with a better idiot.
Did you flash it or just first to post in the thread? lol Thanks either way. If you flashed it let me know how it goes. I missed the icons on the power menu but I will get them when I get done building aosp.
Nice Work
Hey i flashed it and it works well only thing i see is when i switched to OTB ver 1.3 the bootanimation has the android flashing in and out while the orig us cellular animation is still running. not a big deal thou.
also the media scanning icon in the status bar is sometimes themed and somtimes not. again not a big deal.
otherwise very nice work
Edit: i flashed this in CwM2.5 then put 3.0 back on so didnt think to ask if this was amend or edify script?
Awesome, its great to see more devs for the mesmerize. Welcome
My thoughts exactly. Looks like quality work too. May through this on and try it out next day or two when I get some time. Thanks to you and all the devs for making this phone rock.
Tap-a-Talked.
I flashed this last night, also running the tw1.3 kernel, could use a custom boot animation to fix the dueling boot animation, also the launcher still seems a little laggy but everything works and looks nice, would the ec10 no clock work with this? I may just give it a whirl and check later today seems like quality work. It worked fine flashing over pnp v.5 with just a cache and dalvik wipe.

The launcher isn't laggy if lagfix is enabled. Then go to adw settings > zoom effect > set it to around 400. Then screen pref's > desktop scrolling > set to around 225.
If you still get lag then it isn't a problem with the rom but the kernel my phone runs better on the stock kernel with no lag fix. With any of the kernels I get constant force closes and reboots. Along with lag out the rear. Not talking crap about the kernels but a few reasons why it happens is the scheduler sucks and so does the default govenor. Like right now I am running otb also where my phone hates it. On the stock voltage settings. I can even lower nearly every clock by 100mv's and my phone will run fine but still the same problems as not touching the voltages.
I recommend to ditch sio then use cfq or bfq as my phone seems to like those a little better. The other is conservative plain sucks for performance. It might be better for battery life but that is a debate for another day. On demand doesn't seem to be much better really. I plan to compile a kernel and see what I can do with it.
As for the boot animation I have a boot animation made. Just can't get it to work on the mes but work fine on the desire. Still have to look at that. The ec-10 no clock I am guessing removes the clock on the taskbar? If so it should be fine. I haven't looked at it as I prefer the clock where it is .
Can someone do me a favor and go to my forum website using the web browser? Does the web browser reboot when the pop up for tapatalk comes up or is it just me? All other web sites work fine that I tried but none have tapatalk I tried.
Edit: This also doesn't you a updater-script but your old plain update-script. So clockworkmod 2.5 is needed. Forgot to put that in the first post I converted it to updater where it installs but won't boot so I have to look at it when I get time.
Tried the no clock mod and it works fine, also tried the browser and I had no reboot of it at your site, though previously when I loaded the rom the wallpaper wasn't there when I loaded the no clock mod it was. Did some fooling around in voltage control 1300oc/25uv seems to have fixed the lag issue. Also changed scheduler to cfq.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Odd it does for me As I said my phone hates the kernels we have... The wallpaper should have loaded though as it does for me. As I put it as the default in the framework. I will have to look at it though.
whats quadrant scores on this ROM at stock speeds??? trying to figure out whether this is just a different, nice looking ROM or if its a lil faster....btw...nice work...great to see a new dev on the scene!!!
Where did you find the MiuiMusic?
My phone has none of those other problems. Still running the sio scheduler with no lag and to cc or reboots. Ran quadrent and got 1650. Music player works great too.

Quad scores I can tell you in a few... As for the miui I honestly couldn't tell you as I had it for a bit. I just changed some of the colors. I think I got it on here out of a tab part of the forum.
I was actually looking to see if anyone had tried to port the file manager. Found a few ports of the music app. None worked on the girls desire. So kept trying to find on that would work right.
Edit: Just ran quad 6 times. Using I believe the kernel gas has in his rom as I haven't changed it since I flashed his rom to check out the lockscreens. My phone hates this kernel but with setcpu to set the governor to performance on the stock clock. Using cfq I pulled on the first run a 1510 then peaked at a 1598. I wouldn't expect what I did to show much in a bench but will affect image rendering when loading the apps I have installed.

Uscc has a Zach screen and phone protector so far its the best I've seen. It costs 30 bucks but is worth it to me. Its military grade originally made for field gps and radios bonds permanently to phone also includes a lifetime warrenty.

It has a screen protector now. This was the week I got it and somehow got two big scratches before I even started really using it I don't even remember the brand I got but is the rubbery type feeling one with the lifetime warranty.
Yep I've had the zagg invisible shield protectors for many phones. I was thrilled when uscc started stocking them. I'm rough on phones (just ask my wife) and these things are indestructible.

Awesome, thank you for the info. I accidently came across the first one I had and I was like HELL YAH. lol so i have not really looked at anything else. The launcher they are working on with the fascinate built on top of touchwiz so everything works. Their latest test build boot loops for me.
Got a link? I don't pay much attention to the fascinate/mess crowd more so do I on the desire.

GINGERBREAD ROM
2.3.4 EH17 "ThunderHawk" II Semi-Official [Journaled]
EH17 AIO Volume/Hotspot/Lockscreen/Overscroll/Lag Fix
The first rom to combine ALL of these great mods!
Updated 1/05/2012
Updates, Important Notices, and General Information Posted Here!
I maintain RandomROM as a distribution across multiple forums. As such, the bulk of the information, details, etc. is maintained on my site. Rest assured, the links below will take you to aforementioned site where you will find all of the information you require regularly updated on how to use this rom. No subscription required. Always free (donations appreciated, never required). All of my roms, mods, themes, guides, etc. can be found on this easy to navigate site as well as my blog for upcoming updates. As always, I will still answer questions here.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, divorce, bankruptcy, acne, etc. Please do some research if you are a first time flasher BEFORE flashing this rom. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me if something goes wrong with your device, I will laugh. By downloading, you agree to have read all pertinent information provided and to accept any and all responsibility subsequently.
Home Of The AIO Mod For EH17.I have updated and merged necrosan's wifi tether mod and mkasick's volume rocker mod together, as they change the same framework.jar. This means that Sprint Hotspot will work freely without an additional Wifi Tether app, and that your volume rocker can now seamlessly transition from silent, to vibrate, to loud. Included in this conglomeration are also maddoggin's lockscreen mod and qbking77's overscroll glow mod, as well as the CRT animation. This will currently remain known as the AIO mod.
To any rom/theme developers: Feel free to utilize this mod but be sure to reference myself and all aforementioned developers involved. It took a lot of time and effort to make these great features play nicely and it's important to keep the original creators in the loop.
Why Should I Use RandomROM?
This rom is a personal hobby of mine to maintain the greatest battery life that I can. I've scoured the forums searching for the newest and greatest tweaks, mods, etc. to include, and then carefully tested them all for battery performance. I've also made additional changes, developments, and additions all my own. As such, this rom has compiled the excellent work of many great developers into my own ideas and configurations. Contained within are many useful apps pre-installed as well as an effort to replicate my exact setup which has yielded me 0-1% battery loss per hour maximum when idle! On good days it's now beating RandomROM EC05 Phoenix!
All included apps have been RandomKing-Approved to conform with the best battery usage. I'm always on the lookout for more tweaks, possible thematic changes, etc. There should be no issues, but should I happen to find one, I may simply release a patch or quietly switch out the upload version.
Many of you have complained that others achieve much better battery life. The goal of RandomRom is to provide MY setup that's provided me with great battery life. Further details are available in the changelog of post 2, as well as more specific details and usage stats.

CREDITS:
First and foremost, a huge thanks to the guys at Samfirmware for making this possible!
This rom incorporates the work of many AndroidCentral and XDA users. Huge thanks to necrosan, maddoggin, sbrissen, mkasick, chris41g, qbking77, optmsprim2, tortel1210, nubecoder, deano0714, and more to be listed!!
Quick Updates, Notices, Fixes, Etc!
You've got questions, here's some answers!
Want to reduce the ram leakage problem? These suggestions may help:
Click here!
Preferences>Advanced Settings>Memory Usage Settings> Uncheck "Use homescreen caches"
Miss Live Wallpapers? Don't really care how much battery they use?
Here they are, push them to System\App using ES File Explorer
Really wish that you could return to the stock fonts?
Click here!
Can't figure out how to make the battery percentage appear?
It's under Settings > Lockscreen Settings > Statusbar Settings
Want the battery icon, and not just the percentage?
Same deal as before, except you have to hide battery icon, and then un-hide it. Wait a moment.
When should I use the AIO mod?
If you're on a rom that doesn't have it, or you flashed an EG22 theme that doesn't include it.
I really miss my old transparent messaging app, can I have that back?
You can now! I've just released a few variations of transparent Gingerbread messaging!
I love RandomROM, but the Framework FC's are just too much to handle and no-one can help me, what should I do?
Check out Phoenix EC05 linked in my signature at the bottom of this post .
How do I use my own ringtone, alarm, and notification mp3s?
Create a folder on your SD card called "media".
Inside of that create "audio".
Inside of that create:
"ringtones" for ringtones.
"alarms" for alarms.
"notifications" for notifications.

Sounds good! I did a quick analysis on it myself to see that everything included runs, nothing more really. I spent most of my time on this trying to include both necrosan's mod and mkasick's volume control mod I love so dear. But it worked for me.
Unfortunately, my phone had to go in for repairs, so I'm stuck waiting now until I can fiddle with it some more.
For anyone interested in the dual Hotspot/Volume mod, they're linked along with any other mods I've made HERE.
thanks much!

For those of us who just want our phones to $%#^@! work.
This is a clean EI22 based ROM with a custom Black theme. Most of the preloaded Sprint software is removed, with the exception of ThinkFree Office, MyFiles, and Memo. This ROM puts stability ahead of new features and is usally behind the curve when it comes to the latest mods. Those who are into bleeding edge/ricer ROMs will probably find this ROM boring.

Based on the original leaked EI22 NANDroid dump (noobnl)
Deodexed
Custom EI22 kernel with the following features: (source)
init.d script support
busybox/su
keyboard fixes
overclocking to 1.4Ghz
Voltage control
WIFI stability fixes

Carrier IQ ("CIQ") removed (k0nane)
RFS file system
Stock Gingerbread Launcher with 3D fix (hoffman1984)
GPS Fix (hienkhieu)
Proper Reboot and Reboot to CWM Recovery on the power menu (Thanks to untermensch for the excellent quide)

FAQ
FAQ:
Q: What's with the 'no root' kernel?
A: There are certain programs that will refuse the work if you have root access. The 'no root' kernel will strip root access at bootup and allow programs which refuse to run on rooted devices to run. To re-obtain root acess all you have to do is flash the regular CleanGB kernel in the first post.
Q: Where is the bootanimation.zip and how can I change the boot animation?
A: The stock boot animation is actually contained in the framework-res.apk file. If you want to use a custom boot animation, all you have to do is place your bootanimation.zip in the /system/media directory and it will play instead of the stock one.
Q: What about [insert feature here]?
A: See the todo list below

Goodluck with your rom, looking forward to checking it out.
Wow I absolutely LOVE all this new development buzz we've gotten since the drop of our official GB...finally feeling like I have the right phone again!...looking forward to your ROM...any screenshots?

Honestly, I don't give a crap about CIQ, so it's not a high priority but since lots of people care about it, I'll incorporate it as soon as someone releases a noCIQ friendly hotspot hack.

Thanks for posting some screenies...and not for nothing but doesn't removong CIQ make a small improvement on battery performance and free up a little extra RAM...I mean after all were only working with 385mb as opposed to the new standard of 1GB?
Edit: theme looks nice and clean looking forward to your updates.

Wow I like the theme. When I saw blackish theme I was a little's turned off at first because I kind of hate those ones where literally everything is black and there is very little color at all. But when I saw the pictures I liked it as it looks mostly stock but with more black. Very classy looking.
Quick question: I've been hesitating on some of the other Tom's as they have had GPS or data or other weird issues that I am just not having running stock odexed with mkasick's ei22 key fix kernel and the GPS fix. I didn't know if the common theme there was the leaked dump or not. Have you seen anything like that with yours?

To be honest, I've had a few hiccups with EI22 that I never had with EH17. GPS has worked fine for me, but once or twice bluetooth has gotten stuck while turning on and the phone went into a zombie-like state. The bluetooth libraries and firmware are the same in EI22 as they were in EH17, so if there is a problem it has to be in the kernel. That's why I'm sticking as close to stock kernel as I can right now.
I've personally had no issues with data or WIFI.
Any chance of getting the power menu mod that includes REBOOT (and Reboot to recovery)?
Amazingly, this is the only EI22 ROM so far that has a battery % mod. Congrats!

That's a great idea. If I can find a tutorial on how to do that I will.
Anyone know of a tut that show how to mod the power menu?

NM. I found a guide on how to do it. It's pretty involved, so it will take some work. I'm going to tackle it.
Battery life is pretty sick on this! Unplugged at 100% before going to bed last night, and after six hours of sleep it was at 97%. Its now almost 12: 30, and am at 68%! Haven't even connected to my wifi yet, but do have an airrave, so I'm sure that helps. Thank you for this! Wondering how much more I would get out of it by flashing rodderick's nociq over this. Like the black too. Nice work!

May I ask why everyone is including the GPS fix into their ROMs? From my understanding from this thread. You don't need all the GPS locks as it is not needed and the reason you don't without the fix is to save battery life. I think the reason people have been wanting the fix was due to a separate issue that has since then been fixed.
You should leave the GPS fix out for those who don't want it. You can get good accuracy with just a few locks, and anymore locks is just a waste of battery life.

I think noobnl corrected his post since then to say that Samsung forgot to update the gpsd in the new EI22, still using a very old one from the early GB leaks and leaving us with a broken and half-working GPS. Therefore, it seems the only decent way to get good GPS performance again is to flash the GPS fix, which copies over the GPS daemon from the Fascinate (same as CM7).

Okay, the post was kinda confusing. I don't have the GPS fix on my current ROM and I get quick/accurate GPS... is it broke in some other way?

I am going to run my phone without the GPS fix for the few days and see how it goes. I'm very heavy GPS user so if there is a problem I will notice it. If GPS runs fine for me I will probably remove the fix because battery life is more important to me than useless extra satelite locks.
