EvilHero 2.1.001

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)

Most of this was copied from the PureHero post as he thanked them in that post, I feel since I used his as my base, I needed to thank the same people including him - If I did wrong, let me know
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!

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.

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

[ROM][EC05] RandomROM PHOENIX II FINAL [AIO][6-LOCK][NoCIQ] | 11/29

FROYO ROM
2.2.1 EC05 "Phoenix" II [Journaled]
From the ashes of RandomROM Plus, Phoenix rises.
EC05 AIO Volume/Hotspot/Lockscreen
The first rom to combine ALL of these great mods!
Updated 11/29/2011
Updates, Important Notices, and General Information Posted Here!
I'd like to extend a special thank you to anyone who has donated!​
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 EC05.​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. This will currently remain known as the AIO mod, and version 1 is the latest. It is included in the Phoenix Blue EC05 theme.
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 You Use RandomROM?​
Alternate names considered: BatteryROM, BurningROM​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 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 1-2% battery loss per hour maximum when idle!
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., however this version is the last major revision last based on EC05. 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 possibly important details will be made available in post 2. Any other information can be found on my site along side the download links.

GPS tends to work pretty well for me. However, as a note on most roms I've tried, it usually works better after a reboot. At it's best, it locks on in seconds, at it's worst, up to a minute generally.

Looks good random appreciate the hard work.. seems like our hobbies are pretty aligned haha. My hobby is battery life
So this looks to be based on srf 1.2? Is that correct?
As a srf user what are the main differences? I see it uses geno and journaling is enabled, any other big changes?

It was originally based on my love for SFR 1.1. From there I set about incorporating in everything I could find or think of from no2chems bionic mod to theimpaler's speed demon keyboard tweak, to the tw date fix. Then I went back and rebuilt the rom to clean things up a bit. I've baked in my shortcut terminal commands to freeze drm, sns, and updates in order to preserve more battery(couldn't make them autorun). Patched together my own version of a theme, made some other rewrites, switched out some apps, aimed towards more black pixel usage and transparent apps(thanks impaler!). Re-downgraded the bionic update from 1.1 to 1.0 to solve issues people were having with wifi connections, added back in media uploading, etc. etc. It's gone through various revisions as I continue to use it myself, throw out certain parts, change others, find new mods that can help preserve yet more battery, etc. Baked in journaling, but also included a non-journaled version. Also, journal on/off cwm flash-ables will be copied to your sd card, should you change your mind later, along with the cwm 3.1.0.1 update. Tried to keep it as functional and slick as ever. And included Rodderick's Genocide 1.0 as that's still my favorite kernel .
I did make it a point to re-use the same data backup code employed by SFR, as I like to switch back and forth between roms. I, myself, am a connoisseur of roms and a flash-aholic. That said, I haven't tried sfr 1.2 personally, so I can't say how this compares.

Thanks for the ROM update. Any plans on Gingerbread ROM?

This 2.2 version is final. I know, silly idea since I just brought it to an xda thread and only a few people followed me here through all revisions and a few more at androidcentral...
But yes, my new hobby is Gingerbread.

My buddy flashed his Epic to this and wiped everything multiple times but it won't leave airplane mode. Thoughts?

Why include ATK? Why not recommend it to people?
Most don't need a task killer and such task killers can hurt more than help... from my experience anyways..
On other note, This looks very well thought out and I will def give it a try!

Task killers are effective if certain system processes are NOT closed, ie things that will interrupt your service and shouldnt be closed, and if auto-kill is not enabled. I have pre-configured it for both of these concepts. It will only close what can safely be closed, when you tell it to.
Of course, you can just ignore/uninstall it too.
But remember, NEVER USE AUTOKILL.
One more thing... open ATK. Take a look at what it's ready to kill. Kill everything(including ATK itself). Wait 1-2 minutes. Open ATK again, and notice if anything that you just killed is open again. These are un-kill-able, and you're wasting battery trying, so simply add them to the ignore list. Best way to optimize a task killer. You also may want to set it to ignore your music, etc.

Task killers are effective if certain system processes are NOT closed, ie things that will interrupt your service and shouldnt be closed, and if auto-kill is not enabled. I have pre-configured it for both of these concepts. It will only close what can safely be closed, when you tell it to.

It's towards the end of the first post, but i touched it up a bit. Thanks!

So this is not using the latest Genocide kernel (v1.1)?

No sir. I like 1.0 a lot. But feel free to flash 1.1 over this rom if you'd prefer. It works just fine.

Looks very promising. I am going to give this a shot. Downloading now

[3-9-12][ROM][EP4D] InfinityROM

NOTE: I will support this here as well, and am posting here so others can see the ROM as well. However, I will keep the post and information more up-to-date on Rootzwiki. I don't have time to browse through a bunch of different forums for support questions and other requests, so please keep that in mind when posting here.
With that being said, here is what you've been waiting for. This is the continuation of the last InfinityROM that was created based on the EP1W leak. A lot has changed since then, way to much to go through and update in the posts of the previous topic, so we are starting out fresh. This ROM is based on the official OTA that just recently got sent out to DROID Charge users everywhere. From there, it went through a major weight loss session, and got a full make over to get the wonderful orange and brown stock color scheme out. Much of the theming work was originally done by Retrokid223, and has been brought into this new ROM by myself. We went for a TouchWiz 4 look from the SGS2, mainly because it is currently the look that I like.
To go through a brief history of what this ROM has gone through to get to its current release state, here is a slight Cliff Notes run-down. I took the update and went from EE4 to EP4D. I then dumped the stock ROM from my phone and deodexed it. From there, I went to work taking out a bunch of stuff that people don't want, and things that are easily installed from the market. After that, I replaced a small handful of TouchWiz apps with their AOSP equivalents, and rethemed everything, updating icons and images as needed from newer SGS2 and also SGS ROMs that have been released into the wild since EP1W came out. A few tasteful mods have also been added, and from here, TSM Parts will follow shortly.
This ROM is mainly so people can continue to use InfinityROM and the latest update without having the ugly stock color scheme. I will try to keep a TSM Parts free version updated as changes are made, but not everything will remain free of TSM parts changes forever. This initial release does not have anything major TSM additions in it yet, but those are on their way for the people that want them (myself included). Many apps have remained stock, though they have been rethemed to ditch the stock color scheme. The reason for this is to keep the added functionality of the TouchWiz versions, cause the AOSP versions of many of the apps are lacking in the usability department. Stuff that has been replaced has been from a stock, deodexed dump of 2.3.7 from the Nexus S.
To go with the great ROM, is a great repacked kernel. Since you can only do so much to a stock kernel when repacking it, I kept the EP4P kernel from the last test version of the ROM with the current update. This will be replaced in the coming weeks once I can get a source built kernel going. There are only minor changes to the kernel that is included, so it's nothing really special, but it gets the job done.
Screenshots will be added at a later date, along with what are likely to be several additions that users can put into the ROM (stock keyboards and other items). For now, this is what you get, and stay tuned for future updates, as there is more to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get root access?
Download and install Superuser from the market. The su binary that is required should already be there via the kernel, all that is required is its complimentary application.
How do I install the ROM?
See the first post of this thread.
How do I go from XXX to this ROM?
The fastest way to go to this ROM from anything is by downloading and flashing the ROM+Kernel on EXT4 package. That will format your partitions to EXT4 and then install the kernel and ROM. Note that this will wipe all of your user data in the process, so be sure to backup anything you may want prior to flashing.
Where is Gmail, YouTube, Maps, etc.
All Google applications were removed from the ROM. This was to make sure that you are running an up-to-date version on your device and it also saves some bandwidth when the ROM is downloaded.
Does this kernel support Voodoo?
The kernel does not use the Voodoo Lagfix functions. However, it does fully support EXT4 partitions. Voodoo Lagfix is meant so partitions can be converted to and from RFS/EXT4. To do this, the boot process is slowed down for partition checks and conversion. To avoid this, I just enabled EXT4 support so you can still reap the benefits of the improved read/write capabilities without having to wait for the phone to boot up.
Voodoo sound is another matter entirely and can be enabled (in part) by using Voodoo Control Plus. This will allow you to load a beta Voodoo Sound driver that supports many of the functions of Voodoo Sound. Until source code is release for Gingerbread though, full Voodoo Sound support will be unavailable.
Does this kernel support overclocking?
No it does not. Source code will need to be released before many features, such as overclocking can be included.
Do you have plans to include XXX in your ROM?
The current plans for this ROM are to bring in TSM parts, and any updates to that it receives as well. There may be some other updates outside of TSM Parts, but currently, there are no other major plans. If you would like to see something included, please link to what you would like and it will be taken into consideration.
I am having xxx issue, can you fix it?
We can certainly try, however, we will need some information from you first. In order to fix a problem, we need as much information as possible from you about it. Please provide details of the issue, such as the application name you are having problems with. If you can reproduce the issue consistently, provide the details on how to do so, that way we can attempt to recreate it ourselves. If it is a graphical glitch, try to get a screenshot of the problem, or a regular camera picture. The most valuable information you can provide is logcat output, see below on capturing a good log for us.
How can I get a good log of a problem I am having?
There are two methods you can use to get a log for us. The easiest method is to use aLogcat from the market. An alternative method is to use adb on your computer. If you do not know how to save the adb output from logcat to a text file, I recommend using aLogcat. Once you are ready to capture a log, start logcat from adb, or aLogcat. With the log still running in the background, recreate your issue several times (3 to 4 times should be sufficient). Once you have recreated the issue multiple times, stop the logging and save the log file. With aLogcat, it will be saved to your SDCard. Then, take your log output and send it to us, preferably via PM. The reason we request via PM is that sometimes, logcat can capture personal information, such as your email address or phone number. Rest assured that we have no interest in this and will use the output strictly as a debugging tool to help fix whatever issue you are reporting. We hate spam just as much as you do. I have also attempted to remove as much of the debugging output of personal information as possible, but I can't catch everything. In any event, I still recommend learning to use logcat from the Android SDK, as it is an invaluable tool.
Also, if you are reporting a graphical bug (something that needs themed), please get a screenshot of what you see that needs changed. Note that we cannot change everything. If it is from an application that is not included with the ROM, it may be much harder to fix the problem as sometimes apps do not pull their color information from the ROM and hard code their own colors. This is most noticeable in the quick panel notifications. However, it is still possible that something was missed, so feel free to submit reports of anything that you feel has yet to be themed.
Help, I restarted into recovery and lost all of my data!
This is an issue that affects people randomly. My opinion is that you can deal with it for the time being. I recommend using a good backup solution that doesn't involve recovery. I say this because I test ROMs and have had my data wiped hundreds of times due to testing over the past several weeks. If I can deal with resetting everything all the time as the developer, you, as the user, should also be able to make due until a permanent solution can be found.
How can I thank you for your work?
Just click the thanks button on our posts. We do this for fun, but if you wish to a monetary donation, click the Donate button by my Profile Picture.
How can I get XXX app to vibrate on new notifications?
It seems that some applications are ignoring the global vibrate notification setting. To fix this, go into the application and press the menu button and go to settings (or however you get to the application settings). Find the notification settings, and turn on vibrate. It seems that messaging is the biggest complain among people, and this should solve the problem.
I created a theme for your ROM but have no where to host it
If you send me a link to your theme, I will host it for you on my site (imnuts.org). Note that I may not get to your message for hosting immediately, and also I won't host any theme that isn't tasteful and clean. If I find out that you are porting a theme without permission, your file(s) will be removed immediately and any further actions appropriate will be taken.
Can XXX be added to the FAQ?
While we strive to keep up with posts, sometimes we may overlook a repeated question or issue. If you see something you would like posted in the FAQ, feel free to ask. We only ask that you put your request in the following format:

Thanks....cant wait to see how it looks!!!

awesome job bud
it can be a pain to maintain rom threads across multiple forums, but there are those that only frequent one forum so its helpful to them

You are the man! Can't wait for tw4.

just wondering...how long should it take for first boot?
been hangin out at this SGII logo for about 5 minutes
EDIT: battery pull, reboot to recovery, wiped dc, boots fine now

I usually hang out here and on RootzWiki so if I ever see any questions about this ROM, I'll try to answer them as best as I can for you (imnuts).

That happens occasionally on any rom after a dalvik wipe. Not sure why, but it seems like something just gets hung up sometimes.

LOVE IT!!!!!!
Thanks for the new rom. Works great and I love the color scheme. I just wish I could find some GS2 widgets that would work with this rom and I'd be set for life

Look at the GT-I9100 (SGS2) and it's stock look/theme and that is basically what this will look like. You could also get an idea of the look from the T-Mo/Sprint SGS2 variants, as well as several original SGS variant Gingerbread updates. I'll post some screenshots then when I get a chance to take them.

Awesome ROM!! Running smooth as butter. Only downside is i've already had the random data wipe after booting into recovery to flash the Minimal Theme. But I definitely like where this is going.

Sweet thanks, gave me another reason to stay up late and not talk to the wife.

Very nice
Very nice rom....clean slick to the point no bloat. I like being able to decide what is on my phone or not. Great Job, I may have a reason to keep this thing now...lol

Awesome and thanks! The Rom is working fabulously for me so far. Hoping that themers will take you up on your offer and begin themeing soon. Always love blue based themes myself.
Thanks again for the Rom!
Oh, by the way, do you plan on always packaging your kernel with the Rom or will you ever separate it as a stand alone download?

[ROM][FP8] Debloat WIFI ONLY Music Player - w/ "Real Phone" Backout Plan (2013-08-16)

[ROM][FP8] Debloat WIFI ONLY Music Player - w/ "Real Phone" Backout Plan (2013-08-16)
END OF SUPPORT NOTICE:
This project has been formally merged back into the Tweaked Lite 1.x FP8 by Dwitherell. (...or on XDA, HERE.)
Tweaked Lite: Same great taste, just one calorie...
This was simply my n00b-ish attempt at a kang/bootleg tweaked on FP8, no real point maintaining my "placeholder" when "the original" is now available on FP8.
NOTE: A WIFI Only option is available on Tweaked Lite 1.x (via a TweakTools init.d tweak)
After installing Tweaked Lite 1.x grab a terminal "su" then "tweaktools". From the menu interface the options are 3, 1, 1, and finally 1. Remember to restart for an init.d script to take hold! (Exit TT to the # prompt and type "reboot".)
If you were a Music/Media player user check out the music APKs available in the apps TT menu(s). Also remember to look in TSM parts for userful music player flavored options!
Since I know we have a handful of WIFI only folkls... Feel free to continue to run WIFI Only Media Player Configuration Tips & Tricks (Q/A) here!
...Original detail preserved below for "posterity"...
Old News: Beta v1.4 Released 8/16/13.
Updates to the reserved posts...
BnB is back... Kinda... BnB Lite or PoBoy_BnB (look at the print screen)
Tweaktools is back! "TT Lite", same great taste, just one calorie... (Still populating the back-end.)
FYI... So far, 50/50 on users keeping WIFI Only script vs. revert to phone use with CDMA/LTE Radio.
Description:
This is a FP8 Stock Based, Rooted, Deodexed, Debloated, BusyBoxed, init.d enabled, radiooptions binary added, cell/mobile data OFF init.d script build for the good old Droid Charge SCH-I510.
By Default this ROM disables the CDMA/LTE Radios. No Calls/Texts, No Mobile data... WIFI only!
If you use this as a "real phone" be warned! (I've made it relatively easy to get CDMA/LTE Radios back though, see FAQ #8 below.)
Project Goals/Scope:
The Idea was to pull together a phone that might serve as a GB Micro Tablet Media Player.
I wanted to be able to turn it over to the kids and not worry about them making emergency calls.
Wanted to leave in the old SIM card so it would get through a reset/restart quick & easy.
Radio disabled via init.d script so no need to remember to set airplane mode, etc.
Thought it would be interesting to see if there was a battery bonus disabling the radios.
Commentary:
I tried to get aggressive with the debloat. ...people are able to get the apps they want on their own.
I threw in the cyanogenmod Apollo music player (from HERE, since it is currently not on Google Play).
I was originally thinking about pulling out the bits that make it a phone (Dialer/MMS stuffs). Ultimately decided to leave them in, so there is a quick & Easy revert back for use like a real phone option. That leaves the music player only optimal battery folks a bit of work to do (via Titanium freezing, or... you'll figure it out).
I did NOT spend time cranking open the bits for UI tweaks or making it pretty (may not even have/develop those skills). As such, it has very stock GB flavored look & feel.
Warning:
Standard disclaimers apply...your mileage may vary, hack at your own risk. This could ruin you phone, your life, the entire world... Rooting your device WILL void your warranty. Know what you are doing, at the end of the day you can only blame yourself if you break it. (I'm just some crazy guy from the internet...)
<NO PROMISES DISCLAIMER>
Be patient with me for I am n00B! (It took quite a while just to deodex/debloat this beast. So, don't hold your breath waiting on me.)
If I try and fail I reserve the right to walk away with head hung low and tail between legs...
At this point the Wife/Kids are happy with the little WIFI only Gingerbread nano tablet(s). As such, I might loose interest entirely. Especially if there are not enough interested users still using the SCH-I510...
</NO PROMISES DISCLAIMER>

Reserved 1/4 for FAQ...
For just this minute...
Cliffs Notes:
This is not Tweaked, perhaps a tweaked inspired debloat at best.
There is no TSM Parts. I lack the permission and more than likely skills/knowledge to pull it off. Don't believe me, see HERE.
RE-bloat:
Tweaktools is now an option, the "Apps" menu will be populated in the near future. In the meantime, I threw some FP8 re-bloat bits out HERE.
<partial_QA>
Q8: Can I still use this as real phone?
A8: YES & NO... Not with the Radio OFF Script. However, I left in all the Phone bits. Just Enable/Disable WIFI Only Script from the tweaktools Interface. Remember to SU/# first. Then "tweaktools", Option 3, Option 1, Option 1... remember to reboot & enjoy! TT Instructions HERE.
...Alternatively...
You only need to do is delete/rename (with ".bak") one file to get back CDMA/LTE Radios. From a root friendly file explorer (like Root Explorer) navigate to "/system/etc/init.d" then delete/rename "09radiooff". (Only that one, leave the other file alone.) After a reboot you will have use of your radios back.

Reserved 2/4 for Install Notes...
For just this minute...
Cliffs Notes:
This is XDA! Just install it from CWM... remember to mount system and wipe the necessary bits.
NO ODIN NECESSARY
Oh yeah, she was built/tested from an FP8 base (and 0817 "Orange" recovery, titled "0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5")...
so however you go about it I'd recommend FP8 Kernel/Radios (if you are going to use the radios).
Install: -- We can get detailed if necessary, for now CliffsNotes.
End Game:
This is no different than the process to install Tweaked 3.2 on FP5. (Except it is FP8 and not tweaked, but you get what I'm saying.)

Credit where credit is due...
First of all Dwitherell has given me support whenever I requested it. Big Thanks to Him. Tweaked 3.2 on FP5 was my "point of reference".
SuperSU was brought to us by chainfire, please consider going for the "Pro" paid version.
"Orange" CWM for the SCH-I510 (and lots of other historical dev) was brought to us by imnuts
Stranula for the original BnB theme bits & Adobeman (chargeforums) for the FP8 status bar updates "PoBoyBnB" look.
Don't forget Tonsit for the tweaktools scripts!

Got to give an honorable mention to the TMAN. He and I discussed the merits of a WIFI Only ROM a while ago. His efforts ultimately led me down the path to the RADIO Options binary init.d script.
PS. If you see any errors, or feel I didn't give you proper kudos... let me know. I will make it right.

This is great stuff. Once I upgrade my phone this fall, this seems like a good way to make use of the Charge. For a smartphone, this device looks like a dinosaur compared to new stuff coming out, but I'm sure as a ipod touch kind of setup it will perform well.

Talk about serendipity! I was just now reading this article on LIfehacker:
http://hackerspace.lifehacker.com/android-dashboard-cam-1035905370
Since I recently upgraded to a GS4, my Charge was feeling left out. So I came back to this forum to see what was going on, and this is the first thing I saw!
I think I'll take a run at it tonight. I assume GPS and Bluetooth work, right?. I'm thinking of using it as a GPS (something with offline maps, like Co-Pilot)/Music Player/Camera for my car. I can always turn on the hotspot on my GS4 if I need wifi on the road.
I'm psyched for another tinkering project. I'll be sure to post feedback. Thanks!

Tinker away! ... and keep us posted with your comments/observations.
The bluetooth stuff should all be there... (I haven't tested, but I didn't take it out)
looking at your article, if you are after re-bloat check here... http://tools.tweakedrom.com/SCH-I510/FP8A/FP8_rebloat/... the car dock should be there. not all, but lots of those apps will need to be pushed to /system/app, just fyi...
I can throw more of the deodexed FP8 apk's out there if there is demand... while poking around that tools subdomain ignore any FP5 stuff you might find... pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
GPS might could work... I when I tried the other night with only GPS, no WIFI, on I got NO lock. Just now I turned on google location services in addition to standalone gps, and connected to WIFI at the house... GPS locked (accurate to 40 meters) in seconds. Haven't tried it from the car.
Not sure if the edited gps.conf mod would help or not, couldn't hurt.
My live in testers (wife/kids) don't exactly give the best tinkering feedback. If the music/netflix is working they are content. Any insights XDA has to share would be a value add.

Just did some testing with GPS, and I thought it wasn't working as it didn't lock. However, last night when I flashed the ROM, I decided to freeze a bunch of things that I thought we be extraneous. Included were things like Phone, Secphone, Maps and Streetview, Allshare, Apollo (I use Spotify), SMS, Samsung acct, VZ sync service and other VZ stuff, probably a few others too...
So after testing GPS with Copilot, I decided to unfreeze all that stuff, and now it appears GPS is locking! I also tested navigating with music (via BT) playing and everything seems to be working. I did have the CoPilot screen come up blank when switching from Spotify to Copilot, and had to kill it with Task Manager. But I started it up again and was able to switch between the two. Granted, all of this was a less than 10 minute test, so more is needed.
Couple of other things and some questions:
I am trying to create a minimalist UI to use in the car. I also want to keep as much bloat off so it performs well. I installed FTL Launcher because a) it's supposed to be light and fast and b) I wanted to customize the app icons in the Dock (for CoPilot, Camera, Spotify, and maybe Evernote). I'm planning to have a single home screen, with a widgets for a clock, Spotify controls, and maybe some settings (brightness, BT settings, etc) - - anything to minimize having to do a lot of UI navigation and avoid the damn physical buttons on the Charge. I will also keep it plugged in to the 12v charger, so I should never have to worry about battery life.
Can the lockscreen be disabled? I think some launchers will let you do that, but FTL doesn't. I'd hate to go to a more bloated launcher with tons of bells and whistles just to turn off the lockscreen.
On the topic of freezing of apps, of the list I posted, is there anything that would be obvious candidates to keep GPS from working? Maybe Phone and Maps, though I can think of reasons why they wouldn't impact it. Given that I've described what I want to use this for, can you give me some ideas of apps/services that would be safe to freeze. I'm making a broad assumption here that removing things I will never use will give me better performance. If I'm off-base on that, let me know.

Couple of other things and some questions:

Feedback appreciated !
Excellent questions... Keep in mind I am still relatively new with all this... That said, my initial thoughts appear below (for what little they are worth). Feel free to guide me back toward the path... Consider this all just brainstorming out loud
Generally speaking I am interested in further debloat... However so many of the initial beta testers wanted to back out of the WIFI Only and use as a "real phone". As such I want to leave options open by leaving in the phone stuff.
Lockscreen:
I haven't worked up the courage to poke at the Java/XML just yet...
But there is an app for that... "No Lock" HERE.... Idea from HERE. (I haven't tried it yet though...)
Debloat/Freezing:
I didn't have much time to play with freezing/further debloat before my wife/kids took over the device, but I had relative success with this:
I'll continue to play around with it, I've never gotten too scientific about the optimization stuff (not yet).
Feel free to share your further debloat/freezing recipies. (links examples always appreciated, I'm still discovering a lot about this device and android)
Tangent... *squirrel*
Media Player:
I've been happy with Equalizer FX (Free) from here... so far. (I am not overly picky about music either...)
At the moment, I've been focusing else where...
Wouldn't it be nice to get around the SIM card requirement? (No idea where to start on this one, ideas?)
TweakTools mirror:
I am working on a little website project. Trying to mirror for the TT 3.6 FP5 back end. (Out of respect for the work that went into Tweaked 3.2, I'd like to ensure it is available on a go forward...no better way than to host it on my server!)
that got me to wondering...
TT-ish like FP8 thing:
I've also been thinking about tinkering with the back-end of the TT script stuffs on this little FP8 ROM ... it may go nowhere ... Without a bunch of flashy themes and UI tweaks (like TSM Parts) I doubt most users would appreciate it on FP8. (Right? Correct me if I am wrong.)
I MIGHT try to rebrand it "weaktools" on the little FP8 thing for my Jedi skills are weak.
EDIT: Got boot ani TT-ish stuff running on FP8 without custom kernel thanks to smokin1337 and project documented HERE! ... or maybe not
Note to all: Please don't hold your breath, it took me quite long time to learn to simply doedex this beast... I am very part time and trial and error (i.e. slow is my speed) I fully reserve the right to not deliver on any of this!

Ditto. I have plans to turn my Charge into a remote/whatever for subsonic and other stuff at home. I'm not even close to an amateur hacker so I may not have much to contribute to your testing but I'll give 'er a go later.
Are there any similar, de-bloated ROMs like yours? I'm looking to keep the cell radios off and only use WiFi and GPS (sudo-dedicated GPS). Thanks.

Nice Idea... I had never thought of using it as an XBMC remote... (Suppose I would have to setup a server first though).
Feel free to report your findings.
I found a "poor man's BnB" look on another forum that I'm gathering permissions to use. It will get back a bit of the Black on Blue and some of the UI tweaks like accurate battery % on status bar, etc. (not a full blown theme & no TSM goodies)
I've also made progress on the Weaktools shell script/terminal emulator back end. Might want to attempt align my efforts with Dwith, in case there is a Tweaked FP8 comeback (no promises by me, and certainly not by me on behalf of Dwith. ...but THIS was encouraging!)
A little more debloat, update a few APK's, integrate Weaktools, the initial shaping of a "Beta v1.1" are coming together.
Plus my Micro/Mini SIM to Standard SIM Adapter is in, so I can test the phone stuff myself now (About half the users to date have indicated they are backing off the WIFI only bit for "real phone" usage.)
EDIT: From my site linked below, see the CWM files section for links to other recently active ROMs...

***spiolers***
...Beta v1.1 in progress...
Something to deploy via terminal emulator script CWMMod...
NOTE: This is a "poor man's" BnB look (not the entire historical theme)
Thanks to Adobeman (@ chargeforum)...
Inspired by the Stranula original.

...NEW! Beta v1.4 Released 8/16/13...
Happy Friday, Enjoy!

By the way, any possible way to remove that popup window after the startup? It warns us about no data connection, but does it every friggin time. Just an annoyance. So far she works well. Once in a while the data turns itself on (even though it was off when the phone booted on), not sure why.Time to try 'er out as a subsonic remote!

keep us posted on your endeavors...
I remember that popup as well, I just been leaving the mobile data toggle ON from the notification drawer/drop-down. Haven't gotten real scientific with BetterBatteryStats to see if there is a benefit of turning that toggle off; but leaving it on makes that message go away. My thought was that the actual radios are off anyway, from a debug angle.
When my 2 little kids get a hold of it the Netflix mass battery hit kind of "spoils" my controlled observations. I can report that today they have watched ~3.5 hours of Netflix and the battery is still at 33%... (they each picked a movie to watch while sharing that tiny screen, I'm sure the novelty will wear off soon.)
EDIT: Every once in a blue moon, mostly when poking at it sideways from ADB (or a dirty flash between beta versions) the CDMA/LTE off script goes wonky. A restart always fixes it right up... You haven't seen the Radios back on, have you? Just the Mobile Data Toggle thing, right?
*grinding noise* ...gears changing...

I tried to folow your post but was unable to disable lockscreen from hidden menu... But that doesn't mean it can't be done... (I may just not be able to sort it.)
I did look for it in dialer codes before suggesting the app up there ^^

I've also found post #32 there useful historically.
PS. that "no lock" apk solution HERE worked beautifully and was tiny, only 183k.
