This ROM is basically my personal built of an HTC sense ROM and will be the new base for my ROM that will come out sometime later on this week.
Im sharing it cuz i think it is a big improvement to the overall system. And i thought i'll share my work with everyone.
First i would like to state that EVERYTHING IS WORKING on this ROM. So unless its a bug i didn't notice... it's all good.
Now... what was done here was basically rebuilding all of the ROM's apks and frameworks to remove all of the useless files inside.
This resulted in much smaller apk sizes and resources.arsc files inside the apk's (up to 10 times smaller).
As a result of having smaller apk's loading times are faster and the ROM size is smaller.
All that is followed by the system consuming less RAM and CPU that can easily be translated into better battery life.
All of these changes should result in the fastest HTC Sense ROM thats is out now.
Keep in mind that its a Stock ROM so i only made a few tiny changes to it besides the fact the 99% of the apk's and framework are rebuild by me.
So, with that said... no screenshots are needed and understand that this ROM is meant to be used as a base for other roms if anyone would like to use it or as a daily driver for those who like stock ROMs.
As a side note... please understand that if u flash any themes over this rom it will take away the optimization i made cuz all the themes that r out right now still have all of the localization files in their apk's which will make my optimization of the apk useless.
This is what inside:
Rooted
Stock HTC Kernel (the one from OTA 3.70)
All of the stock ROM apps
Updated Apps
Updated Market (2.2.7)
4-in-1 Reboot Mod (my port)
USB/HotSpot Hack (my port based on vaelek port to calk's work) thats what i call team work, kinda.
Dalvik to Cache and Zipalign on boot
if u would like to add JsChiSurf power widgets mod flash THIS

Mirrors
Here is the base rom... same as the previous one, only with Eng localization and no Spanish localization. (includes power widgets mod and all of my v4.2 ROM opt also).

here is the deal... ALL the themes are basically messing with the apks... so until a theme will use my packages... u will lose the opt i made.
the theme will work btw if u flash it btw.
as far as kernels... all should work.
let me explain a little more about what i did so u and some more people can under stand...
ok...
so each apk has inside it localizations files for many different languages... u can see all of those only if u decompile the apk btw.
it is very clear why the apks have those files in them btw... obviously htc dont make phones just for english speakers.
the biggest change i made was to remove all of those languages from the apks.
i only left in english and spanish instead of the other 10-30 different languages that were in the packages.
the htc evo in my opinion dont need all of those languages in it cuz it is a phone that is used pmly in the US... and u should also under stand that when im talking about the localizations files, im actually referring to the way that the UI is... not to language support which u get by the fonts.
now... as far as i noticed its not like we can actually have the phone in a korean UI anyways... so why have that extra files in the apk... right?
of course korean is not the only useless language to us... there are like i said 10 to 30 more useless ones like that all over the apks.
now... clearing those files gave me a much smaller apk like i said in the op... logically, smaller apk means smaller loading time and less hog on the mem.
this is translated into a faster rom and better batt life.
i hope that clears a little more about what was done here... and why.
This sounds awesome. What process did you use to rebuild the APKs? I'd like to give it a shot myself as a learning experience.
Downloading now...
Nice way to think outside the box

just used apktools... of course i paid attention to all the tiny details... its was at times a little more tricky then just deleting files and recompiling.
but... i tested it one by one until it was done.
i can't really explain the whole process... but basically take an apk out of any other rom besides this one...
decompile it and u will see all of those extra files that are basically useless for us.
all apks have them... i can go the extra mile here and even optimize it more by messing with google apps that also have those files in them... but what ive done here is good enough as a base or as an example of how it kinda should be if we want things to work better for us and only us.

thanks...
i came up with it cuz i remembered that when i was cooking manila for windows mobile in the past i used to (and everyone else also) remove useless languages to save on space.
here all of those files are in the apks... so it took a hell of a lot longer due to the need for decompiling all of the apks, recompiling and testing.
but... i think the results are pretty good.
Awesome...can't wait until your new ROM comes out. Thanks bro.
added the mirrors link.
p.s.
guys.. after running it for a while... let me know what u think.
Out of curiosity: So if I get an update from the market it will overwrite your apks...and then all the optimization of removing the unneeded languages will be lost, correct?
So, this may be a dumb question. If I were to use Calk's remove sense and launcherpro for my launcher, would I still see the same benefits?

u r technically right...
but, keep in mind that it will only affect the actual apk that was replaced and not the whole rom... i also tried to stay away from google apps that u can update in the market for that reason alone...
google leaves the localization files inside all of their apps... and if an update will come u will lose my opt... so i didnt bother with most google apps.
but thats why i said approx 95% of the apks.
all of the htc and the system that cannot be updated has been optimized.
the things that really effect the system is the processes that run all the time in the background... those will always be opt... so as for market apps... dont worry about it... its safe.
the reason im saying no to themes is cuz sometimes those themes take over all of those apps that run in the background... not to mention the htc and android resources... so that why im saying try to avoid themes.

Wipeing
Do we need to wipe anything before we flash this over and will we loose everything by flashing this over?
How much smaller is the ROM overall in space and RAM used?

yes... better to wipe everything... unless u r coming from a complete stock deodexed rom... than u might get away with just wiping dalvik and cache.

i did not run a full 1 by 1 compare...
i can say that all the apk that have been optimized... and it approx 120-130 of them have got their resources.asrc files reduced to at least half the size and up to 10% of its original size...
if i look inside the system/apps folder i can see that on the original stock rom that folder is approx 120mb... mine is only approx 88mb... and all of the same files are there... so considering that not all of the google apps were touched and that not all apks needed to be opt i would say that the size was cut by about half overall.
yes i know from 120 to 90 its only 25%... but not all needed to be messed with... so from the app that were messed with... its at least half the size.

ADW Launcher - smoother, and more usable
Some one posted this over in Cyanogens site and on here.. (I don't take credit)
ADW Launcher - smoother, and more usable
1) Screen Preferences - Desktop scrolling speed - set to something low-ish like 150-200, default settings are just plain moronic here. Desktop overshoot should be fine at 30 or 40.
2) Drawer Settings - Horizontal Drawer definite on (this is far superior to the scrolling drawer if you have more than a few apps, and feels much smoother).
3) Drawer Settings - Zoom effect speed - 400 is a decent setting, default was way too high.
4) Drawer Settings - Columns/Rows - 4x4 is a nice setting for portrait, if you don't like a crammed screen.
5) System Preferences - Wallpaper Hack - check this. If you have issues, change wallpapers to something of a sane size.
6) System Preferences - Use Screen Cache - check this.
7) System Preferences - Scrollable Widget support - you should start with this unchecked. Only check it if you have issues with some widgets. In my experience it didn't make a huge difference in performance or smoothness.
There you go, 2 minutes invested in making ADW.Launcher faster and smoother than LauncherPro. If you use these settings and still find ADW.Launcher to be slow and chunky on a Nexus One, then there is something going on with your phone. I suggest doing a Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache, or freeing up some memory.

i have this problem frequently thats why i make mods and roms. i can get it but not everyone can, and even i sometimes have to wipe, and/or a bunch of other crap. its basically at your own risk but you can look and the pics HERE; it does work, and im using it currently as is anyone else using my cyan mod. i havent had time because i been busy but my intentions were to add update zip form but havent got back to it yet. when i make a rom or mod i install everything before i sign it and thats why it all works in them. it does work, its just very picky. i have many pics. it works just fine other wise i wouldnt even know what it looked like after i themed it

If you're going to post tons of files it might be useful to have a little bit of a description of what each one does next to it e.g.:
SPRINT VVM UPDATE.ZIP - this is the OEM Sprint Visual Voicemail App
Very helpful thread, Thank you.
One question I have is how to change the home screen. I prefer LauncherPro to ADW but when I try to switch Home screens with "Home Switcher" LauncherPro does not stick as the default home screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
I have been searching for a way to access or change my PRL using CM6?
I have installed EPST.apk from another rom, and I don't know if there are more files I must include, or if it's simply not supported yet.
So far, the only way I have been able to change my PRL is flashing an eclair rom and then flashing cyanogen nightly.
Thanks

i switched my prl before i went to cyan and since ive been here i flashed the radio suggested in the first dev thread and everything works for me great. personally i have never noticed a difference in prl other than one time my market apps wouldnt update right and after i accepted the new prl it worked. that was way back on hero though. I dont really trust the ota stuff, but you are cyanogen now dont even have to worry anymore with the htc or sprint bs.
also check out your cyangenmod settings in settings. manymany options. if you have any questions just let me know or post...
Upon further reading of this post and some of the links, (please excuse my stupidity) I take it these files are meant for cyanogenmod roms. If you install or flash them on other roms, it might break something.
I was curious about the two voice mail files. Both are different file sizes than the one that is in my rom, so obviously they aren't the same thing. I was tempted to try them out, but my common sense told me that these are probably meant for cyan's rom. I take it that it would be a better idea to wait until the rom is released to the masses before playing with stuff like this.
Am I understanding you correctly with these assumptions or not? With me still being kinda newbish, maybe these questions could help other people that are newbs too.

Thanks for this.
Also, I'm in the camp that typically finds your mods a bit too loud for my taste, but as a few people said in the thread, I really dig power up. Nicely done. Not that your other stuff is bad at all, just different strokes for different folks.
I'll probably try this one out if I'm not crazy busy sometime soon.
I started an FAQ/known bugs thread, but they moved it to Q&A, which has rendered it almost useless. I'll link to this, but if the mods let this one stay maybe we should merge my content into here.

It really seems like since CM is getting so much attention there should be a sticky that gets regular updates with known issues and features so people don't post the same stuff over and over quite as much. The OP on the main CM thread isn't keeping it very updated, but he did state that it should be a temp thread, he didn't offer to keep it updated.
As far as my app drawer to get it running smoother I downloaded the free adw one theme, switched theme to adw one theme then back to default theme worked perfect... Also get the transparent app drawer instead of black background with default which is pretty cool

hey good thinking. i dont wanna break my evo either. give me some details and ill give you some answers. the vm apks are different because one is in update.zip form(flashed thru recovery like a rom) and the other is the apk alone. as far as the apps being for cyan only; most of them can be used on any rom. this is just a cyan geared assistance thread. but let me know the ones you want to be sure and ill let you know from my own experience, since ive used most every version of every rom weve had so far what works and what wont. most should work fine. if you are new, i do not recommend messing with cyankeyboard until i put it in a zip.
is there any way to get only the kernel of this rom becouse im unable to flash the rom i got error flashing it
-and yes i try to use a newer recovery but when i apply update.zip it goes back to the old clockworkmode
or can someone give me a link of a newer update.zip or any idea
So, in the latest days I was experimenting with TouchWiz, mostly with porting it to mid-sized screens. After many fails with the whole framework porting, I looked for an existing one, and found out Rolle did it for the Nexus One. Played around the APK file, and found out - it works flawless without modifications!
So I collected some widgets, the launcher, some apps (maybe required, maybe not), and deodexed them myself. Currently I am testing them, and I will post all my discoveries just right here.
Until then, here is the partially working TouchWiz Launcher.
Bugs are the following:
- Wrong size menu, last line's bottom is cut
- On the bottom bar, only two icons instead of four - don't know if it is because of old launcher or just the screen size.
- Sometimes it is slow
- Some widgets (simple Search, not google one) is smeared around the screen.
But some features do work:
- The whole TouchWiz Launcher
- Nice and fast and SMALL (only 1.4MB, approx 2MB installed - apk can be transported on a standard floppy disc!)
- All basic features working
- Loads all widgets
Wht about this ?
Link
And when u say widgets, please clarify u mean android widgets, because it sounds like u have the samsung widgets working.
I am talking about Samsung widgets, yes. I don't have them working (yet) but I am trying the best I can do to get them install-run-work. I know, mostly it will need a whole framework porting, and as the G1 has limited space on SYSTEM, it can be only done via symlink and DATA linking, but worth a try
Would be very interested to see this when its done, despite all that touchwiz-hate I think TouchWiz 3 has made major improvements on previous versions
I agree. TouchWiz isn't too amazing, but I wouldn't mind the Samsung widgets, especially Daily Briefing.
nice man please keep up on this. i love all the mini mods android can provide to my phone
Hope you can fix ^^ it's awesome!
Any progress ?

Hi guys. I got my hands on some DI14 files from the Mesmerize and decided to cook up a ROM. This ROM is very lightweight (removed as much touchwiz stuff as I could), and is very similar the version I have released for the Fascinate.
[warning]THIS IS ONLY FOR THE USCC MESMERIZE!!! DON'T FLASH ON ANY OTHER PHONE!!! IF YOU DO, I WILL LAUGH AT YOU!!![/warning]
Features:
Latest versions of :
Google Maps
ADWLauncher
Google Voice
Google Street View
Superuser
YouTube
Aosp or additional apps:
DeskClock
FileManager
Gallery3D
Mms
Music Player
Other stuff:
bash / bmlunlock / busybox / nano / redbend_ua / strace binaries are included
fully functional terminfo for bash
lots of extra ringtones/sounds pulled from aosp
SGS boot and shutdown animations
LOTS of stuff removed, don't have a list, sorry.
Also included in the package is a custom kernel, which allows use of aosp style bootanimations (among other things) and has been optimized for speed and reliability. - kernel has been removed
Enjoy.
http://db.tt/PQYLPWX
WARNING: I do not have a Mesmerize so I cannot test anything myself. This ROM has been tested by a few people, but, if you have issues try wiping data, otherwise, please let me know of any bugs. Thanks.
testing now...
Flashed this a few minutes ago. Seems much snappier than stock. JT, can't thank you enough. I'll report back after I've used it a bit.
~Sophos
about to test it thanks
seems to work well the lock screen seems quicker but im having some pauses when in some apps. was wondering the name of the twitter and facebook feed app that comes standard on mesmerize liked that app but found it was missing in this rom
8hrs and going well. Couldn't get custom boot animation or BLN to work with kernel update so I flashed back to the 1130 kernel. Once I finish the final touches on this boot animation I'll upload it.

They are missing because they are bloat. Hence the "Super" in Super Clean ROM. The less in it from the start, the cleaner the build. There can and will be variations to this ROM, I'm sure, now that JT has been kind enough to give us a starting point. The pauses you are experiencing, I believe, are writes. When a ROM is deodexed, the .odex files are placed back into the apk for various reasons, including themes, causing the system to have to have to perform a few extra writes to cache. This should speed up as you use your phone. As I said, I believe this is correct, but I'm still learning so this may not be exactly what is happening. In testing the previous builds, I noticed the same thing and that this went away with use.
The only thing that I see as an issue is BLN doesn't appear to work. Oh well. Maybe in a future build.
Any way to get the original messaging working i like the way it shows the messages and maybe your navigator from uscc.

First is the stock Messaging app and the second is the My Navigator app. Not a huge fan of the messaging in this rom, if I can restore an apk to get back what it was like I'd be much happier.

Stock messaging app is mms.apk, but we are having a problem trying to get it back in the ROM. It seems to be the only one that doesn't want to go back in at this time, but it is being looked in to. My Navigator is USCC_Samsung_Galaxy_S-1059.apk I believe. I know it is one of the ones with USCC or uscellular in it.
i am 99.9% sure it wont
but does the wii mote work now? or is there any hope hat it will at some time
I tried my best to debloat GOV3 as much as possible. But even now, I'm getting PM's from some people who wish to get some old apps back into the GOV3. My answer as a whole to add it into GOV3 is a no, because I want people to experience the fastest, yet smallest I could manage (please understand where I'm coming from). However, the requests vary from TouchWiz Calendar, the old stock SMS app, and some others.
My advice to you guys (I don't want to leave you in the dark here hence why I'm making this post) is to simply download both GOV2 and GOV3.3 and drag'n'drop the .apks you want from GOV2's /system/app/ folder to GOV3.3's /system/app/ folder.
If you need help doing this, let me know. I know it's simple, but some don't even know what WinRAR is.
All the best,
TLS.
I <3<3<3 GOV2! When I was "ROM shopping" the one I really loved the looks of was nowhere to be found [older version of one and the newer version had an unappealing color scheme - I realize that is vain and petty] but the option to control the screen brightness by rubbing the status bar was intriguing [and worked beautifully, thanks to whoever programed that nugget] and I really loved the overall improvement in the phone. Not a fan of Launcher Pro but that was easily remedied...
In GOV2 I've already snipped out what I didn't want, swapped launchers, and dropped in the other stuff I wanted but I cannot figure out how to put back the Samsung keypad... I really missed the T9 layout [lame, I know]. I looked through the lib and usr directories, but it looked like everything was there but the apk... yet when dropped in, no love. Was my problem that it hadn't been dropped in prior to flashing? I just had to exchange my SK I now get to redo this whole process [yippee skippee] so I could try it that way... I am going to feel slightly dumb if that is the source of my problems...
Also, I noticed a thread about a kernel which removed the keylogger from the SK [and only flahsing it on a KJ2 blahblahblah]... the kernel under GOV2 [or 3] also strips the keylogger or no? Just curious.
I will be reflashing soon [possibly tomorrow if I cannot wait till Friday evening when I have actual free time] as I just cannot take the stock ROM for much longer [it has only been since Monday night]... today it crashed so hard that it couldn't reboot... it just did the 2 vibrate again and again and again until I finally took pity on it and held the buttons so it would reboot. Poor feble thing... lol.

Just upgraded to tweeked 3 and have some problems:
1. I can't find the voicemail app & don't know how to call VM. where do I get the app?
2. Buddies now is missing. Won't restore via titanium backup.
3. I migrated from eclipse rom. How do I get the eclipse rom keyboard and colors?
4. Howdo Irestore the default power on and power off animations?
5. Verizon Data APP / My veerizon forces close on startup.
I think that is it for now. Will post when I have some time to play with it.

1. You don't need the app for voicemail. Just dial *86 or hold down 1 in the dialer.
2. Buddies now is considered bloat and you can only use it on the stock launcher anyway. If you want it it is in tweaktools.
3. I believe eclipse keyboard was either a themed ICS or themed Swype (I don't remember which - it was too long ago). Either way both are available if you search. As for the colors - since Nitro stopped working on the charge we don't have that, but there are a lot of themes on tweaktools.
4. Tweaktools
5. It works fine for me. Could be a bad flash, could be something else.
And I guess we have another nocturnal person here.
The vvm stuff was also deemed bloat, but all of that stuff can be restored using tweaktools OR the system apps and system app flasher in the tweaked op. Jihad has you covered on the rest (thanks Jihad).
I got the verizon app to work after deleting and reinstalling. The rest I can live with till I have a chance to research Tweaktools. Most of the stuff is minor and just me being picky as I'm not yet used to the tweeked ROM.
Tweakedtools: doesn't seem to be working. I can get into the menu and install a theme and buddies now, but they don't act as though they ever got installed. even rebooted. What the heck?

You have to type su to give the terminal root permissions.

Doh!
Ok. now it has the permission and does install things like buddies now, but when I try to install a theme or boot animation I get the android robot with the exclamation point and it does not install. what can I possibly be doing wrong? do i need to install something like CWM?

You don't have CWM installed? I doubt it works with stock recovery. When you installed Tweaked did you use the Odin version without CWM? You should get and install CWM.
The only 2 boot animations that work are Stock Galaxy S boot and Stock DROID boot. They use the Samsung format that works with the stock kernel. Themes should work though.
Ok. Now I understand. I did use oden version without cwm. Now I need to oden cwm and I'll be good to go.
EDIT:
Thanks for the info, everything works.
Now I need to find a suitable keyboard---possibly one that mirrors the one in the eclipse rom.
On another note, I'm not all that happy with any of the included themes. How to I create the theme I want?
If you know Java and smali, you can rip apart the framework and make your own theme.

The eclipse keyboard is a themed version of this I think.

I have no idea on how to work with Java or what smali is.
I do have the old eclipse ROM. can't i take the theme files from there and somehow load them to the phone?
Regarding the keyoard, I couldn't get that swipe one to install as the app keeps asking me to login and I don't know how to generate a username and password. I'm now thinking that it was a Samsung keyboard, but I could be wrong.
Smali is basically the decompiled Android version of Java. In Android, everything gets packed up in .dex files for the Dalvik VM (Android's optimized version of the Java VM), and when you decompile them, you get Smali. It's like Java, but "distorted", for lack of a better word. If you know how to read Java, you can feel your way around, but it's different enough that even if you're good with Java, you'll have to relearn some things for Smali.
well...I did some searching on line and I think the stock theme that comes preloaded at the factory is what I want to get back to. Also the default Samsung keyboard is the one I want.
I'm leaning towards tossing tweaked out the window rather than getting frustrated. If I do that what do I loose and how would I add root to stock?
also, I can't manage to get the phone to vibrate when i tap the screen. Haptic feedback. How do I turn it on?

No. What you think of as "files" are a series of edits in the framework. Obviously the framework for Tweaked is for Tweaked, and Eclipse is for Eclipse. If you're going to try to interchange these things you may as well just reinstall Eclipse.
For Swype, I'm not sure what you're talking about. There's a big honking button that says "register" on the website.

Not sure what you're looking at. The theme in Eclipse is NOTHING like the dickbutt gold (or pumpkin and poo) in stock. And the stock Samsung keyboard is God awful. Why not try something like SwiftKey 3? Swype is pretty good too, and it's free.
To root after restocking, all you would need to do is flash the SuperUser or SuperSU (whichever is your preference) zip in CWM. When you move from Tweaked (the only current custom ROM on the charge, by the way) you lose essentially everything. Dwitherell has put in numerous tweaks to improve the UI speed, and he has put in TSM parts... Plus you'll be back to the bloated whale this phone is at stock.
I believe most of the haptic feedback was removed in Tweaked because most view it as an annoying useless feature. I could be completely wrong but I don't really feel anything even though my haptic feedback is on.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I did nothing that would add or eliminate haptic feedback (outside of the entry in tsmparts, but I did nothing to hook that in if it needed hooking). Also, the stock samsung keyboard is called AxT9IME.apk. Sorry Tweaked is not to your liking. Have you tried the tw4 theme? That seems closer to the stock look at least. I didn't think anyone used it, but I can do a little work and get a stock theme variant together if you want. Also, rumor is some theme options will be added/returning soon...
And for what its worth flashing something different is a far better alternative then anything to do with a window.
Thanks for all the useful info. I must start by saying that i do like tweaked. It is much faster than what i had with eclipse. That said im not sure how much is due.to the rom and what is due.to the upgrade ota. I believe its mostly the rom. Way to go!
As for colors im not opposed to whats available im just used to what i had. The big complaint is that the calendar widgit does not have black text on a white background. Its not as legible but not horible. I can live with it. Im surprised there is no way to change colors like there is in windows control panel. Or an app for that. Oh well.
Thanks for.the keyboard.info. I'll take a look for it at lunch. As for missing the register button...it was to early to be doing anything tech.
Im sure that over time ill get more used to tweaked and be glad ro be uding it.
One last request...stock shutdown animation
Thats enough for now.

To be fair most of the speed change is due to the OTA - most of the edits made were the same as they were in the FP1 version, so I can't really take credit for that sort of thing. I don't have nor do I pretend to have the sort of skill necessary to do such things
As far as the stock shutdown animation, if there's some interest I could try to get that together. It required a number of framework.jar edits to switch the shutdown animation focus from reading a .qmg file to displaying a sequence of .pngs, so I would have to undo that sort of thing to make the shutdown.qmg work again. It wouldn't be too hard, so if there's some interest in that I can put something together and throw it on tweaktools.
I have interest but am not sure who else does and if its worth the time.
I googled the keyboard apk and downloaded it but it will not install. Is there a certain version that i need?

FWIW, I really lock the Tweaked Shutdown animation. Just need to find a sound byte to go with that (for those occasions when my phone shuts down without me knowing) - thinking of getting something from Southpark's tweak.
as for keyboards, have you tried ICS Keyboard? best in my experience.
Ice is not my thing. I just like the Samsung keyboard best. Just can't find a copy that installs.
Also what about stock screenshot setting?
