Install your favorite Sense based rom (I still haven't gotten MMS working in AOSP despite all my attempts) on your EVO flashed for Cricket
Use the dialer to edit EPST settings and configure the MMS server information:
mmsc: http://mmsmycricket.com/servlets/mms
mms proxy: wap.mycricket.com
Remember to set your MMS size limit in the msging app to 500k (higher settings don't seem to go through)
Enjoy.

I proudly present Jiminy, it is an EVO rom meant for Cricket subscribers. I now consider it a 100% working solution for Cricket subscribers that have MMS issues with Sprint based roms. This is targeted more towards people with the $55 Android plan that has the Android data features activated on it. If you are on the $45 or less plan you likely need to use token419's solution (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289) in addition to this rom to route data traffic through the cricket wap proxy.
The HTC MMS app is fully functional and already set to the 500k send size to work with Cricket. It can view all conversations properly. There is no need for a 3rd party MMS client.
Flashing this rom does NOT program your phone for Cricket, it is simply a rom optimized for full functionality on Cricket with none of the sprint crap you won't use. Your phone still must be reprogrammed either by a Cricket store with the Houdini software or by yourself (or someone who knows how) via QPST and CDMA workshop to have all the proper settings for putting the phone on the Cricket network. If your phone has not been reprogrammed for Cricket yet I would suggest using these instructions: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...o-Flash-to-Cricket-with-Talk-Text-Wap-and-MMS
It might be a good idea to use a newer PRL than the one suggested in that guide (since it's old). I am attaching the most recent PRL I have to this post.
Rom is:
rooted
deodexed
busybox installed
data/app enabled
No Sprint bloatware
***************************************
Flash rom to device (a wipe is suggested) and then restore/import a working APN for Cricket (or maybe even MetroPCS).
Here are the contents of an APN.xml file that is known to work. Remember you MUST edit it with you own phone number, don't simply copy and paste it....
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#[email protected]" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>
***********changelog***********
Jiminy v1 - like v2 but with too many bugs lol -no longer hosted
Jiminy v2 - deodexed OTA 3.28.651.1 rom for EVO and the 3.21.651.1 OTA for the Incredible. g3a8614e kernel. Removed all market available apps (facebook, google maps, etc) so that they can be installed from market and updated in the future.
http://www.massmirror.com/2b70dfedce096c317481f922e8fa350b.html
Jiminy v3 - I never distributed it but ran it for almost 2 months (3.29 base with 3.21 Inc bits) with the kingxklick BFS #9 kernel - had a grand ol' time.
Jiminy IV - 100% 3.30.651.3 EVO base. No more hybrid with Incredible. MMS.apk is modified to work properly now. Everything works 100%. HDMI and 4G control are full restored. All stock apps restored minus Sprint bloatware. Hopefully this does not cause a problem with voicemail notifications now? I use Google Voice for mine so it won't matter, but if you use the Cricket voicemail then you might want to keep an eye on this lol. But more importantly, why aren't you using google voice for your voicemail anyway? It's free and infinitely awesome.
*added keyboards
http://massmirror.com/4566f745375e8dd9beb7bfd6d9834a9d.html
Jiminy V - 100% 3.70.651.1 Evo based off of aamikam's reengineered stock rom that has all the apks rebuilt to be smaller and faster. I think I forgot to add the multitouch keyboard back in, but go snag yourself a Gingerbread one instead anyway (and of course the oem supplied Swype is in there as well). As always it is de-Sprinted as well.
If some apps stop working over 3g (youtube and pandora) then your proxy settings might have been returned to Sprint. Follow these instructions to set them back to working settings for Cricket:
Dial ##3282#
edit mode
enter 000000 ok
goto advanced
scroll to RTSP proxy address and HTTP PD proxy address and change them to 0.0.0.0
hit back twice and now try youtube it should work!

Can you provide the settings manipulated to get internet/mms/gps working?
well i was gonna wait for you to grab post #2 before i posted but anyways no big deal. im gonna go and try this out right now
also wanna give us the run down as to what exactly was done with this rom?

Internet and GPS simply work, no settings
MMS is set by importing an APN xml file as I already stated. Use APN Backup and Restore from the market to do this.
This rom assumes you have the Android cricket plan. If you are on the $45 plan you probably still need to use Token419's cricket flash for that u2nl tunneling through the wap stuff.

Surprisingly little.
It turns out MMS.apk has a couple buddy apks in the /system/app folder. I haven't pinpointed exactly which ones are required and aren't. However, using pretty much the entire /system/app folder from the right Incredible rom in the right EVO rom seems to work pretty well.
Another key component to pulling it all together was to start the combination process using deodexed roms for the EVO and the Incredible as the source material. I tried with some odexed roms with no success. Deodexing removes some sort of device/framework related dependencies from what I understand.
It really wasn't too hard in the end, I can recreate the rom in just a few moments and will probably be able to do future ports in little time, but it took a LOT of trial and error to get to this point.
is it normal for it to kick back to 1x and auto make a slideshow?
ok was able to send myself a mms, but sent one to my girl and she hasnt gotten it yet. and ive been on 1x now for a few mins

Slideshow is what you get for now, lol. When I send the "slideshow" to my other phone (iphone) it just shows up as 1 picture. So unless it bothers you to see "slideshows" on your end I really don't see what the issue is. A very minor quirk and may just be how the Incredible mms app works.
No idea about the 1x stuff. Doesn't happen to me. Have you updated your phone to the latest radios?
Also, make sure anyone you send to does not have a 1 in front of their 10 digit number. It (or Cricket) doesn't appear to like that.

i rebooted and 3g came back and doesnt kick back into 1x now when i send a mms. all seems well at this point!!! Congrats man hopefully the cricket mafia dont come knocking on your door lmao! u need a donation button too!!!
Nice. I'll pop this on my wife's EVO and post results. I spent a good half day till I got the MMS working properly on it, with the handcent/chompsms assist of course. I grabbed a Droid Incredible MMS.apk that's floating around somewhere here in the forums.
deathsled this rom rocks. I flashed it this morning here in Phoenix and it works great on Cricket. I can even get voice mail notifications without having to install voice mail notifier. I'm getting awesome 3g service, calls come through great and so far, no issues. Please get yourself setup for donations.
*** Update: found that Google Maps and Superuser won't update. Uninstalled both and re-installed with newer versions.

That aside the rom runs great for me so far. havnt been able to really gauge its uptime but i will after a few days.
I noticed a couple things weren't updating on my phone as well.
It's not a huge deal, but I'd like to sort that out, so I'll hammer out this updating issue and pop out a V2 before long lol

i think its just because where they are getting installed to. other roms ive seen have had same issues
**ok it wasn't Apps2SD***
Ok so it looks like any preinstalld apps don't like to update. I'll make another revision with a couple more tweaks but also strip out any apps available in the market. That way they can all be installed manually and should be able to update properly in the future.
In the mean time if you just pull the stuff off the device manually that won't update and then reinstall from the market I think you're good to go.
updated original post with new v2 information and links
also, I no longer consider the no MMS while wifi is on the last 1% I'm missing. It turns out that Android disables the mobile data connection when wifi is turned on (at least for CDMA devices). This can obviously be defeated as seen by the wifi tethering apps, but basically would require some recoding of the MMS app. I'm sure future updates to Android will probably iron this little annoyance out.
good job man
i have been working on this myself but you beat me to it i am working on a port myself for cricket that will have the proxy settings built into it for the peeps that don't want the android plan. but congrats and appreciate the hard work
Thank You So Very Much
Thank you very much for all of your hard work!
I appreciate the Cricket love for the Evo.
Thanks to your ROM (which works FLAWLESSLY and FAST AS ALL GET OUT) I'm able to enjoy my EVO 1000x's more than I have before.
I see a PayPal donation coming your way in the near future..... ;-)
Whoa, you know it's legit kudos when you're getting it from these two. ^
add the fact that you can add the kingklick #9 kernel to this and unlock FPS AND overclock and this rom is great. again thanks for your contribution.
I wouldn't run King's BFS #9 kernel. I experience 100% CPU usage lag that was associated with that kernel. I'd stick with #8.

DamageControl Sense 2.1 ROM - Espresso optional! - 100% complete!
PLEASE READ THIS POST BEFORE YOU POST!!!
This ROM is now 100% for a reason! Please read below!
Why is this 100%
There is a fix for *nearly* every problem - just search the thread!
For things there isn't a fix for, there is a workaround that works better
The rest of the problems are problems that cannot be fixed until there is a better leak, we get our hands on the source of the kernel, or Sprint releases something. However, it should be noted that the problems are extremely minimal. Microscopic, even.
EVERYTHING IN THIS ROM IS FUNCTIONAL/SIZE]
There are workarounds to nearly everything. Things that cannot be fixed are problems with the leak itself. There is really no reason not to upgrade to this ROM as far as functionality is concerned - problems are MICROSCOPIC!!! If you believe the Sprint update really is going to come in two weeks, go ahead and use this ROM now! Changing to the official one will be easy!
This thread is 225+ pages long, you CAN and WILL find a fix to find a fix if you look for it!!!
Installation Steps:
-Download whichever ROM you want between Espresso or Normal (Decaf?)
-Rename the file to update.zip and flash like you would any other ROM. Note: it may be a good idea to wipe EVERYTHING!!! You MUST flash if you are coming from a different ROM.
If the ROM fails to boot, wipe your ext partition!!!
To get Apps2SD (Applications are stored on your SD card - must be partitioned!
-PARTITION YOUR SD CARD
MMS Problems?:
-If you have MMS problems, download this: http://damageless.kingspond.com/signed-mms-fix.zip
-Rename to update.zip and flash it to your phone.
-NOTE THAT HANDCENT WILL NOT SEND MMS!!! THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN FIX!!!
Other reported problems:
-Handcent will not send MMS. This is a problem with every 2.1 ROM and is not something that we can fix.
Tethering:
-Wifi tether is included.
-If you refuse to tether using wifi, you can use EasyTether Lite or something similar that is available in the Market.
Worse signal?
-You do not have a worse signal because of this ROM. It has less bars at the top.
Apps force closing all the time?
-Boot into recovery, go to Other and select the Fix UID option.
Invalid authentication with Google
-There is something wrong that is fairly deep, but it is a problem with the leak of the Eris 2.1 ROM. This only happens when you have a message or voicemail waiting.
Voicemail notification
-Go into the menu, then go to settings, click the call menu and then click Clear Voicemail Notification. Also make sure you change the voicemail service number to your own number!!!
Visual Voicemail
Use Google Voice or Youmail. We need something from Sprint to get Visual Voicemail to work.
Battery Life
Your battery life shouldn't change much. If you are experiencing problems, try the 'airplane mode' fix, and check your CDMA PRL settings.
Other Problems?:
-Try rebooting.
-If that doesn't work, backup your device through nandroid and then wipe everything!
-Search, then post. There are over 1,000 posts here, most likely someone has experienced the same problem as you.
SEARCH THE THREAD!!!
FAQ
Why won't Handcent send MMS?
Because it is an incompatibility issue.
Why can't I send MMS?
Because either you are not on Sprint or you need to apply the fix.
What is the difference between Espresso and the normal version?
Check the screenshots.
What about Visual Voicemail?
Until we get something from Sprint, this won't work. However, you can use Google Voice or you can use Youmail. Both work great.
My Google Voice doesn't work!
Use version 0.20 to fix it.
Bank of America, other apps don't work
Looking into this problem...
Superuser shows up blank
Make sure you have debug mode on.
What's Next for this ROM?:
I will continue to update this ROM with small fixes and things that are nice, but I consider this fully functional. I am going to work on smaller things that will enhance the ROM a bit. This isn't the last update!
About this ROM:
I decided to make this ROM after some other ROMs just weren't working out for me. Things were far too buggy, didn't seem to work very well, and it all seemed a little clunky. I decided that I would try to combine the best of the ROMs, not doing it the typical way (by just combining stuff I like), but by combining things to make it functional. This ROM is meant to be fast, stable and reliable. I will not add things that will load down the system or kill battery life.
I decided on the name (with help) because of the recent problems on XDA. The community was not united, and I thought the best way to unite everyone was to bring in a new ROM with a new vision and focus. This ROM has been incredibly successful in this way, thanks to those who started this ROM's thread out the right way. I believe we have a lot of good spirit here and we can continue with the attitude of helping one another and helping one another out, all personal interests aside.
I hope that you enjoy this ROM and find that it suits your needs.
Make sure you wipe if you are coming from a different ROM!!!
Microscopic quirks:
Trackball light intermittent

I am usually not someone who asks for donations, however I am getting married soon and it certainly wouldn't hurt. You can donate whatever by clicking here. I strongly believe in open source and in developers working together towards a common good. I hope you all enjoy the ROM and that we can build this together.

Check your thread. I got your Rom this morning and loved it except there were too many bugs. I don't mean any disrespect. I will probably switch to your ROM when you get it worked out.
More 2.1 oh joy. Does this Rom fix the Facebook sync bug?
Good intentions, but way to burn the person responsible FOR EVERYTHING IMPORTANT WORKING! In the future try to not offend the real devs.
All that aside, I'll give it a try and let you know what I find.

ADB works fine as long as you have the latest HTC Drivers from the HTC Sync software install and you set your phone to HTC Sync mode.
I can confirm protected and paid apps show in the marketplace. I can see...
- Google Goggles
- Twidroid
- ChompSMS
- Reality Browser 3.0
- Weatherbug Elite
- ShopSavvy
- Barcode Scanner
...and others too.
Nice!
I will clean it up a bit tomorrow and do some "real dev" work - (I have the skills but not th

damageless said:
Alright, all I have done is taken some things from the gumbo ROM and the Fresh ROM to make a fully functional (as far as I can tell), 2.1 Sense UI ROM, signed it, and here it is for someone else.
I'm not sure if this will be useful to anyone or not. I will not maintain this ROM as I do not take any credit for doing anything other than combining some files and signing it. I am also going to modify a few things to get it working a little better and tweak it a bit, but it isn't something I plan on maintaining.
The only reason I did this was because I was very disappointed in the ROM that flipzmode released because of how many things he broke trying to do his own thing. I was hoping he would release something functional before he decided to go mod everything but oh well.
The one thing I have noticed is that ADB doesn't recognize the device. This probably has something to do with the kernel but like I said, I'm not providing support for this, just providing the resource. I'm sure something better will be released soon, but what the heck.
Again, I am not taking credit for anything here. Please donate to those who created the ROMs.
I should mention that I haven't tried visual voicemail and I am guessing it isn't working. Not sure if we have to wait for Sprint to come out with something or not.
I should mention that I have gotten Sprint TV to work on this, I'm not sure why other people are having problems. However, if you want Sprint TV, then you should simply copy the apk from your old ROM to the new one.
I will also update this to include apps2sd tomorrow. Also maybe get adb working. - I don't consider these to tools to be something that people use on a day-to-day basis which is why I call this fully-functioning. I also haven't fully tested everything, but as far as I can tell, everything works.
It is nice to have camera and video recording, though. All apps seem to show up in the Market. It does show Verizon stuff, and I need to make sure everything is on Sprint, but I will update it tomorrow to be a bit better. This is just a quick release. I will clean it up a bit, add some things to make it more functional and then release a better version.

Browsing Google for new roms to check out, review and breakdown for my own learning pleasure, I stumbled across this hero rom of Android 2.1 with SenseUI.
http://www.4shared.com/file/163848444/8c7602ca/Hero_21.html
Tried to google search the archive name as well as the full 4shared link but couldn't find any articles about it anywhere. (If you know where its from let me know!)
Flashed it on my 32B Magic (MyTouch). This rom is INCREDIBLE. Booted up from flash to setup in less than 3 minutes, everything in setup ran smoothly and quickly (with one exception, I'll note below).
This is SO FAST, right off the bat, no SetCPU, no nothing, AND THE PHONE COMES UP INSTANTLY WHEN RECEIVING A CALL! No force closes so far, no non responding apps, NOTHING.
I've found 2 problems with the rom - Gmail setup can't seem to find a data connection (but the browser and IM clients do - weird? is this a CDMA rom? How do I check?) and the homescreen reboots anytime you hit the "Home" button - but it only takes a second or two to finish. I'm going to fly spare parts onto it and see if I can keep home in memory.
If anyone knows who's rom this is, let me know! Also, if it IS a CDMA rom, can someone port it to GSM? About Phone says this is the HTC Hero, but the Kernel says it is "Unavailable".
TRY THIS ROM, ITS AWESOME! If I can get gmail to work and the home app to stay in memory this will be my daily rom until CR brings his Slide rom out of beta and it runs this fast.
EDIT: Doing some testing, results of set 1
Comes with SU installed and working.
Text messages - working
Sense Widgets - working
Phone calls (in and outbound) - working and SUPER fast, there's NO lag!
NO CAMERA!
wifi - broken? says its unable to start
bluetooth - same as wifi
Gmail - broken? Can't get a data connection to gmail
Market - not working, because I can't get into gmail :-(
Browser - working, browsing the web as we speak
Keyboard - working (HTC_IME with no lag or weird ram-hack like problems.)
SetCPU (installed through adb) - installed and now this thing is just... I mean, there's no words for it. its fast. its really fast.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working on building off of this rom - but I'm not copying and pasting in a ktichen, I'm actually working to rewrite code, replacing drivers, updating with a new kernel and above all else, making the apps work together. Right now I'm working to fix sync and make the prgram list actually display all the installed apps. This is tedious work, but Ill update you guys on my progress as it happens. I think this is a great rom to build off of because from the start, its super fast and as long as I keep speed in mind as I work on the rom, I think the end result will be a good one. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, both for fixes and modifications to this rom. I'm new to android development so I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading right now but I'm a 8 year programmer and do it for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, so it's not like programming is new to me - just the android side of it. I'd like to thank Cyanogen fo his wealth of tutorials, repositories, and tips because most of the stuff I'm reading and learning was written by him.

[5/9/10] On the google sync issue - I originally thought it was a Hero caching problem, having found a ton of information of this happening on stock hero devices, but it turns out it wasn't. In the process of discovering this, I've also found out why the installed apps don't show in the Rosie app list. Its a bug with how this rom was built in SDK version 6, when the original Hero rom from HTC was build in 7, it was backported (not sure if I have the correct terminology there), breaking a few things. I'm going to recompile in 7, fix the system date format (which is also causing an error in the Google sync) and hopefully get sync working, then I can start looking at other minor bugs and optimization.
-----------------------------------------------
PS - somebody find out where this rom came from so I can give proper credit to the original developer(s)!!!
Edit: I'm told this is Drizzy's original Hero 2.1 (Thanks Chris!) with broken drivers. I'm going to try to contact Eugene to see what modifications he made and also check through online documentation to figure driver **** out. Props to Drizzy/Eugene - this build may be more or less broken (well, it was your first and you had plenty of updates to it since then) but damn, nice job on such a fast rom, its awesome even for alpha.
im a little scared to try it...so i wont zackattacks 2.1 1.1 hero is fast enough and stable enough for me right now.
Could you give us more information from where did you obtain it?

Yeah, I found reviews from this gamercore guy, but he doesn't say where he got it or who made it. He does rom reviews. You can find a bunch of his rom reviews on youtube - I doubt he makes them all, but I could be wrong.
He just review roms.. By the way this was uploaded last year must be 1.5 hero not 2.1 Old news
Wifi doesnt work

You're wrong. It was updated TODAY - and its 2.1 - I'm in it right now - firmware - 2.1

Could be - but I don't think so, this thing is old, uploaded last year, I can't get ZX's 2.1 hero to work and I haven't seen a ZX Team update on their 2.1 Sense threads on here or on androidspin, plus this one has a ton of extra features, like the animated browser progress bar from the original espresso rom.
seems interesting. can anyone confirm if this is 2.1 as OP suggusted or 1.5 as mediaman suggusted?
EDIT
just saw, OP just said this is 2.1 and updated today

Uploaded: 2009-12-01..............2.1 yes!!!! OLD?!?!? O HELLLL YEAH!!!!
no camera or camecorder or video THIS IS SO OLD!!!! but fast lol wish someone could push working camera and video
Standard disclaimer applies - figured I would put this just in case.
Okay, well first off I am going to start by explaining the thread title. EvilHero is basically what I call my device (evilvoice + hero) and this is a 2.1 Rom, I attached a .001 to let everyone know what stage it is in, which is the first stage. It works in what I set out for it to do. This is not for everyone, and may be only for me, but I am posting it here to get a little help and also to let other people decide for themselves if they want to use it.
This started because of Firerats MTD mod and CM6 and the inability to update my prl or do any ## codes. In using the MTD mod, CM6 RC1 only required around 105MB on system, but most 2.1 roms required a lot more space. While it is not hard to redo the whole MTD mod, it is very time consuming and you run the risk of messing up your phone until you get home, or at the very least, flash the rom you had on it before until you got home to a computer. I did a lot of searching for the smallest 2.1 rom around. This happened to be PureHero 2.1 by Konikub. I did not use any special tool to figure out size, just looked at how large the zip file was and went with the one that was the smallest, there might be smaller Sense 2.1 Roms out there, but thats what I used to select PureHero as my start.
Okay, so on to what I have done. Using PureHero 2.1 as the base, I ripped out everything except the ability to make phone calls, visual voicemail, SU, busybox, contacts, and the ability to use ## codes (including applying a MANUAL PRL update - for some reason, lost the Device Self Service tool in removing too much stuff, but no biggie since I can do a manual prl update). With this, I reduced the /system size to a mere 92.4MB...its even smaller than CM6 (a little misleading here, but I just meant that for the standard install that I was using of CM6, this rom was smaller, not that cm6 cant get smaller than this one). This is with GSD.apk on my system (but since removed in what I will be posting). It is quite stable after a first setup (meaning set your phone settings how you want them, you will probably get FCs and stuff, when done, reboot and you should not get the again except for the ones I am outlining below)
A couple of things to note:
Settings > Accounts & Sync FCs
Settings > Personalize > Default ringtone is the only thing under here that doesnt FC
Settings > Connect to PC even though it is here, it actually does nothing, even though I have the PCSCII.apk file (or whatever its called), it relies on more than just that file. Doesnt matter, I can still mount the sdcard in adb shell.
There is no market, text messaging, browser, email, video player, music player, youtube, email...like I said PHONE, ## codes, and that is PRETTY MUCH IT!
This was created to mainly be something to switch to do a prl update and switch back to CM6. Over my course of testing this rom, I have ditched the switching back to CM6. This is a modular rom - ADD WHAT YOU WANT! To give an idea: I added Opera for browser, Handcent for SMS (no MMS - need help!), K-9 for email, APKTor for market (yea not as great), I did end up adding Youtube back, andLess for music playing, have not decided on a pic viewer yet (havent even looked), Sprint Nav. Im not done adding stuff to mine, this is just what I have so far. None of these are included in the download as this is an "add your apps" rom - these are mine, you have a choice of what yours are. The only things outside of the basic Android system that is coming included is AndroZip, ADW Launcher - cause its damn near perfect, SuperUser by chainsdd, Visual Voicemail (everything but AndroZip was already included, I just updated them).
Some issues I would like help with to resolve
1. No MMS - HUGE ISSUE...maybe its because I took out MMS.apk...actually, I will put that back in and see what happens (for .002 - probably tomorrow night)
2. No market - HUGE...I never realized the benefit to the market until I had no access to it. There is nothing anywhere close to it. AppBrain requires market, so that wasnt going to be a replacement, APKTor was all I could find. My question is this: Can the market be put back in without too many google things being added back? What apk files have to be included for Market to work, I know it requires a google account. If I dont get any help, I guess I will figure it out myself, just wondering if anyone could take a look and help me out.
3. busybox can not be updated for some reason - also, when issuing a parameter on a command, it errors, but when busybox is put before, it works
Code:
df -h does not work
busybox df -h works
4. bash can not be added (or nano, remount) from the kitchen
5. Connect to computer does not work, I kept that stupid file...if its not gonna work, Im pulling the file.
6. Collins battery tweak does not work, I tested a Zen Kernel and still nothing, I guess it does not matter as I have almost everything turned off, the battery lasts a long time. Remember, adding stuff that uses data or GPS will drain the battery the same as any other rom, but this is made to compliment you...This is why I would like to get the battery tweak to work with it, so it will have better life when things get added.
Maybe people can reply with what they have added as their apps (some will be the same as it all depends on what you can find without a Market)

Removed Rom links
I am putting both up, I would try the unsigned if you can flash it, for some reason (in my tests) the signed did not work as well as the unsigned. Also, this has MMS.apk added, it is untested, but really should work as I only removed the app. I will be doing my own test on this rom later tonight or tomorrow.
PS. I am not a developer, I just removed things, edited files in notepad++ and tested. If something does not work, please bear with me in finding out what caused it. As I said previously, a lot of stuff is removed, so expect that. The only FC's I experienced is one for putting the power control widget on the launcher (1 time), and the 2 places in settings. Thanks and let me know what you think
Nice concept, would love to see where this goes.

There is actually more stuff needed, but yea, gtalk is def needed. Its funny, someone in the G1 forum posted what it depended on, and besides one framework file, I removed everything else. I really hate the implementation of gtalk. It runs all the time and I dont use it. In the same G1 thread, the poster was talking about editing the package so it wasnt dependent on anything, I may have my programmer buddy take a look at it when he gets a chance to see if he can finish the work. If there was a way for the market to not need googleapps.apk or gtalk/service.apk I would be ecstatic, as it stands now, I dont see me putting the market back.
Also, Rom links have been posted
And actually, just for the sake of argument, I modified cm 6 and gapps to minimize the size on my phone, and I have it at 89 mb but sol full functionality. I even will have maps and nav and voice search and all, but on data partition only. In could shrink a lot more actually, but don't feel the need.

cm6 has the ability to get real tiny...if I were to remove the same things, Id say itd be around 50-60mb (maybe im just dreaming here), the issue with cm6 is that fact it does not allow prl updating. I included the newest prl in the zip which gets dumped to your sdcard...j-i-c. Android 2.2 is smaller than 2.1 - there is no way a 2.1 rom will be smaller than 2.2 with the same functionality, it just wont happen, I know that, I just wanted a small 2.1 that did prl ...maybe sprint will release a 2.2 we can use...then I will look into slimming it down like I did this one.
This was never meant to go head to head with cm6...we are talking about 2 different systems - I guess I should have pointed that out...2.2 has the potential to be WAAAY smaller than even this one.
This is a great idea and Im going to watch your progress, Im hoping someday they figure out how to get prl updated on 2.2 Such a pain right now updating it. Thanks for your work!
10/18/2010 - minor update, APN list updated to match from CM6, WIFI should be working out of the box now.
A FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO SO WITH FASTBOOT APPLY BELOW ZIP BEFORE FLASHING THE ROM, IF YOU BOOTLOOP, WIPE AGAIN AND REPEAT, IT'S NOT MY ROM, IT'S YOUR PHONE.
wipe /data /cache /system
mirror
Other Prerequisites:
You must have a custom recovery image installed.
DangerSPL Required, but radio requirements are the same as if you were installing CyanogenMod 5 or 6. if you have a 2x or 3x radio dont mess with it. you're fine. in fact. NEVER mess with your radio/spl unless an expert tells you to.
One More time for clarity, if you can install CM5/6 you can install this rom as well, if not. it probably wont boot. CM6 Radio/SPL requirements stand.
T-Mobile USA Froyo FRG83 (G1 Version, Bluetooth should be working.)
if you are running CM6 and want to test it out, just nandroid, WIPE and flash away.
What you will get:
T-Mobile applications, latest gapps etc.. HSDPA ril, ROOT, Busybox, USB Tethering (as well as wifi tethering support with the usual app)
Non-Glitchy Gallery and Market
Full CM6 APN List
WIFI
Firerat's APPS2EXT will work fine for you G1 users, as well as swap. Looking into possible issues with apps2ext
and more...
What you won't get:
*BLUETOOTH - Fixed?
JIT - It is off by default and breaks several of the apps in the tmobile package. This sucker is pretty fast without it.
ADW - Launcher2 is default, live with it.
User interface tweaks/ CM Settings
Live Wallpapers
Spare Parts (search the market)
And others...
G1 DangerSPL or equivalent
I'm a total CM fanboy, and eagerly await 6.1, but T-Mobile and Google have impressed me with this.
TMUS-G1-Froyo-CMRemix - SendSpace
-or-
TMUS-G1-Froyo-CMRemix - Mediafire
If you receive an OTA message please post a logcat.
CM6 Kernels, no new radio requirement (CM6 compatible radios work fine), no new spl requirement (DangerSPL or equivalent required for G1) Original T-Mo/Google Libs/Framework, cm6 libs and shell still intact.
and yes i go by a different name at the CM forum.
PLEASE TEST BLUETOOTH NOW!!!
first ha ha . NO for real thanks for this rom im downloading as i type.!!!!!!!!!!! edit works like a charm
there is no bluetooth workin on this one for the dream
but this was a problem that was in the other ROM release like this one...
I'm gonna give this one a try
i'm working on the bluetooth for Dream/G1 tonight, hopefully we'll have something tomorrow or later in the night to test.
please test out the bluetooth now, i changed the firmware file and it *should* be working now.
testing now
The current CM code is already all set up for the new official stuff, and the nightlies have it. Everything works, no need to mess around.
bluetooth works, but i think im gonna go try a nightly build
Live Wallpapers
I guess everyone missed it, or don't really care (I don't necessarily...), but live wallpapers aren't in these official OTA roms...
cant wait to try it~~~
Love it, except...
I've been through plenty of ROMs, and so far this seems like the most stable and fastest running. However, everything seems to be working great except for the Messaging application. Every time I open it, I get a FC. No idea why, tried reboot, reopening the application from different locations, but no luck. Any thoughts?
Update: After letting the phone sit shutdown overnight, the Messaging application is working fine, along with the rest of everything. Awesome job on this one!
might try this later before going to sleep.
btw, what does FC mean? i new to Android actually... bought a 2nd hand white G1. had the keyboard replaced for about $30 converted and saving up for another $30 for Digitizer replacement, mine has this big crack the halves my screen top and bottom, lol.
FC means Force close, when an application get closed unexpectedly
the official one already has working bluetooth...
Live wall paper isn't working for me
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
You would have to push the livewallpaperpicker.apk from a cm6 build to /system/app/
this will allow you to pick livewallpapers for your home screen. be warned, they don't run nearly as good as they do on cm6
can we flash the swap script that works with cm6 with this?
Thanks

Damm im really impressed nice and smooth and internal space 85.73. Thank you sir for the share.
I've made a debloated JB 4.1.2 rom from the latest (and probably last ever) Samsung code drop, the T699UVBMC5 release.
It mostly serves as a failsafe to determine whether issues that come up in current development roms are also occurring in stock, without having to run the heavy handed Samsung stock rom with all its useless applications.
I've removed most but not all apks, though you will find that there are no Samsung or T-Mobile apps left. There is no Wifi Calling, but for those who want that, someone can probably come up with a zip and the 3 or 4 apks that are needed to get that working again (I won't as I'm not in the US to test it).
I've dumped Touchwiz for Nova launcher as I loathe the slow default launcher.
I've added custom init.d script support and added a tethering "fix" script there that skips the t-mobile checks; someone in the US will have to test whether that's enough to skip any paywall tethering nonsense.
I've added the simplest flashlight that you can add to the lockscreen as an easy accessible torch.
Feel free to leave comments but I make no promises to put any further effort into this; if someone wants to refine this, be my guest.
Download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5bvupHweE3LcjFrU1ROUjBPeWs
Instructions:
- Wipe data if you are not currently on stock JB
- If you weren't on JB bootloader and modem, flash those first; get them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270769
- Flash attached zip
- Done. No Gapps flashing needed, supersu already included.
Note that if you are downgrading from KK, the mountpoint for /data/media/0 changes back to /data/media so you might want to move files around in order to prevent duplication of stuff on your internal sd. If you're worried, back up your stuff.
CHANGELOG
v1.0: initial release
- added simplest Flashlight app there is
- Nova launcher as default
- Tethering "fix" in /system/etc/init.d/
- Support for userinit.sh in /system/etc/init.d/
- Removed nearly all unneeded samsung and tmobile apps
- Removed wifi calling
- Added Google setupwizard
- Updated and integrated core Google apps into rom
- Added busybox, openvpn, sqlite3
- Supersu included
- Whatever I missed
Todo:
- Figure out if vold can be made to handle ext4 mmcblk1p1 (no - need to add mount attempt in init.qcom.post_fs.sh)
- Symlink /extSdCard to /storage/extSdCard in init.d script
- add ssh client (pull from cm10 or compile)
- add bash (pull from cm10 rom or compile)
Just flashed this, but I have no WiFi. I click it on but it doesn't turn on. I'm on TWRP 2.7.0.0, and everything flashed successfully. Any ideas?
Edit: no blue tooth either
You probably weren't on the JB bootloader and modem.
Get those from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270769
Thanks! I'll try them when I get home.
Worked great. Thank you!
Seems stable, over the last 15 hours, or so, even compared to Cyanogen builds.
(Cyanogen's contacts (people) in blue&white with everything else a nice dark screen was terrible to look at and one of theirs actually rebooted at a "minimum of 1x" a day, while the other one wouldn't show all my contacts.)
My office is behind 3 concrete walls on the 3rd floor on top of a hill, and so I get about 1/2bars of signal, so I would like to have WiFi calling, can this be accomplished, maybe as a separate flashable pkg?
Bumpity-upity...
So this has been outstandingly-stable for a day and a half, but I would like to see this with WiFi calling enabled, or I cannot get phone calls or TEXT/SMS MSGS in my office...
One other thing I noticed in testing is there is no way to put in Exchange accounts (CORPERATE as it is called on some builds).
I would willingly drop a donation if these could be resolved, and I am sure that there are others with similar concerns?

IIRC, the bounty for getting T-Mobile's Wifi calling working on *any* custom ROM was pretty large. It's not gonna happen.

Try flashing a gapps package on it to get the exchange mail option, or use a 3rd party app from the store. k9 mail is supposed to be good?

If you download the full stock image and extract it, simply push the relevant apks in /system/app to your phone. If you google a bit (samsung tmobile wifi calling apk 4.1.2) i'm sure you can find the apks that are needed.
I'm not in the US so I couldn't even test if I would do this. When you have identified the needed apks I can probably turn that into an update.zip.
Wi-Fi thetering?
Is you debloated ROM support wi-fi thetering? Does it work correctly on other carrriers (except T-Mobile)?
I know that in clean stock ROMs it is locked for working only with T-Mobile.
Same question here.
Can I use Wifi tethering with that rom.
I like lightweighted roms a lot because of the smooth handling and long lasting battery but I'd need Wifi tethering to use my tablet with the phone.
Thank you.
FSG
Update:
Unfortunately WIFI Tethering does not work. Whenever I start the program the phone reboots without warning.
Besides that the rom works well.
Plz help.....
I was on CM11 then I decided to go back on stock rom and found this......Now when every time I'm flashing this rom...everything goes smooth without any error but when I reboot into system after flashing ROM, Boot-loader and Modem my phone asks for device encryption password....!!!
Plz help...Thanks

Hi! Is still anyone using this rom?
I need a lightweight one, and this looks great, but I need to be sure it works ok, and I really need tethering (from the last posts is not clear to me if that is working or not).
Wifi calling not really needed (but if someone made that work great
