I'm not sure how well this will go over since it's not just a download and flash ROM, which is why I haven't released it yet. I've decided to explain the basic premise to see if there is interest.
What this is basically, is a "DIY" DI14 deodexed Mesmerize ROM. Everything is there ready to go with a few minor changes. All of the dependencies are left in so all of the stock apps will work. Many of the apk's have been removed and placed in a separate folder to reduce some of the bloat (not nearly what jt's super clean ROM does, but some of the bloat). What this leaves is just a bare bones ROM that you can add whatever you want back in to it. Once you have everything you want in it, you just zip up the two folders and flash the zip file from ROM Manager.
My reasoning behind doing this is hearing people asking for apps to be placed back into jt's super clean ROM. This way, you get to decide exactly what stock apk's you start with.
This is as basic as it gets. Follow the directions from the readme.txt file and build your own custom ROM. This will work with jt's voodoo kernel, so you can get fancy and add custom boot animation if you want. This should also support themes that some of us are working on porting, also.
If anyone is interested something like this, let me know.

Link to ROM
Simply AOSP 4.0
NOT SO STANDARD DISCLAIMER:
I, nor any of the ERA team is (are?) responsible for bricked phones, damaged SD cards, bad flashes, hurt feelings, crying, sleepless nights, restless leg syndrome, constipation, Cher, or any of the other various things you may encounter by installing custom firmware on your phone. Reboot into recovery, wipe everything 3 times, select ROM. Those are your instructions. Anything you do outside of that is on you.
Changelog:
Completely new base ROM used. Ecooce's as-of-yet unreleased Frankenstein v.4 was used as the base for this version. Ecooce provided a very stable, very small ROM that works perfectly with the Simply AOSP we've come to know and love.
All of the latest and greatest build.prop tweaks have come together to create a very fast and stable ROM with excellent battery life.
Volume Hack (Thanks mkasick)
Hotspot Hack (Thanks necrosan)
RFS/EXT4 Compatible (Thanks Officerpolabear)
Wifi scan interval set to 5 minutes to save battery
Simply Settings theme app included
Original Moto Droid 1 AOSP wallpaper (The one that started it all! Well, sort of...)
Genocide 2.0 Kernel (Thanks Rodderick)
Root/SU in ROM rather than kernel, feel free to flash!
Journaling On by default
No default memory-killing settings: compatible with v6 supercharger and other great scripts (by popular demand!)
Audio files and sound defaults from Cyanogenmod used for alarms, notifications, ringtones, and UI. Really can't get more AOSP than that!
I know everyone says this, but there really is a lot included that isn't listed here. There was a lot of moving and tweaking until just the right mix was found.
Huge thanks to TheDub, JohnCorleone, Ksmullins, Compkid, the ERA Team, and a whole slew of other people that helped with testing and answering questions. I couldn't have done it without you!
A COUPLE OF NOTES:
Updated Changelog
We tried to correct all of the issues that people had mentioned; all of the original UI notification sounds are back, tts service has been put back which should correct any navigation fc's, Revolted kernel is included. Also the same hotspot hack files are included in this that I used in the ERA EC05 ROM, so everything should be good to go there.
As always, let us know what you find! Download Link Below!
HUGE, HUGE thanks to pvtjoker42. He has been instrumental in getting this release out as apparently my internet service provider forgot the "provider" part and I've had no way to upload this. Also his persistence and reliability in testing this ROM have been invaluable. Find him and thank him.
This is EC05 based
The lockscreen mod is NOT built into this ROM. A tough decision to make considering it is one of my very favorite mods, but in the end it detracted from the AOSP feel of the ROM.
After to speaking with TheDub who was kind enough to let me update his ROM, he has suggested not including other themes with the Simply Settings app. While there are many great themes out there, I have chosen to respect his wishes.
You will find the standard Froyo, Touchwiz, and Gingerbread themes included.
This ROM is small; about 117 MB actually. That was one of my goals because if you're anything like me I download a LOT of ROMs directly to my phone. That being said, there aren't a lot of apps included in there. Please make sure you have good, recent backups of anything you may want.
With all of that being said, please download and enjoy! I will be checking this thread OFTEN so please come back and let me know what you think. We have done a lot of testing with this and haven't found any ROM-related problems (personal note, don't try and load 137 apps all at once. It slows things down. Yep, that was me...)
Please let me know if you have run into anything and I will try my best to help you.

This is based off of Froyo. I try and leave all of the leaks to ksmullins and I kinda fool with all of our EC05 Roms. Until GB drops, that is, and I'm out of a job!
The hotspot and volume hacks are included but the lockscreen isn't. In order to add it (and I haven't tested this theory) I would think it best to use an AIO Mod rather than just the lockscreen mod as they seem to modify some of the same files and I'm not sure if everything would be functional afterwards.
Also, JohnCorleone and a couple of others had tested with various EC05 themes and found no problems. I would venture to say that 'most' EC05 themes should work just fine.

As long as you are on the most current CWM and wipe everything 3 times you should be fine. I've personally flashed between GB and Froyo countless times without any problems.
Anyone willing to provide some "sexy screenshots" of this ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
If no one else gets any put up I will try to get some screen shots tomorrow if I can. (That turned out about as non-committal as possible...truth is mine doesn't look like stock anymore but if need be I can reflash and take some.)

many thanks to the devs that made the mods and inspired me to want to modify my own rom, alex and rootsu for answering my noob questions and assistance.
Im not a dev just someone who wanted more space, so any noobs want a clean base with extras to start or just want a easy rom here it is.

Please give the credits to the DEVs of mods. You write that you are not DEV, but somewhere you have to have the mods. Thank you
i come her for the knowledge others can pass on and if i can pass on anything to anybody then ill be pleased, there obviously others who dnt appreciate there are noobs who dnt want to deviate from what they have to much just want space and other mods.
i may post this back up if theres interest .
i wanna thanks 2 people who made the effort to help not hinder me when i needed it. they are what these forums are about alex, and rootsu.cheers guys.
well, to be honest, this might be all I need. thanks
This did fill a gap. Init.d support?

unzipped file system folder says its 189mb in total.
the next rom is smaller show on my desire that there still 66mb after install on system rom
This ROM is based off of kwes's Rooted Stock v21y ROM plus a few tweaks here or there. In the screenshots are the slightly modified Arc'd theme and I added my Touch of ICS theme which also has the CRT off animation.
Features added by kwes1020:
v21y 2.3.4 update
Root -unsecured boot.img
init.d support
deodexed (was already that way in the update)
zipaligned
Little tweaks by me:
Increased VM heap size to 64mb
Added a few tweaks to build.prop
LED lights will now be on the lowest brightness at bootup (thanks to lotherius's script)
Changed SD read-ahead speed to 2048
Removed bloatware that 90% of people don't use
Deleted gallery3d and replaced with quickpic (MUCH better)
HOW TO INSTALL: (Taken from Kwes1020's original thread)
To install:
1. Reboot into cwm
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Go to advanced>wipe dalvik cache
4. Go to mounts and storage>format /system.
5. Go to install zip from SD card.
6. Install the zip and reboot.
You can also dirty flash this on top of kwes1020's rooted stock ROM, but make sure you still reboot once before applying the theme!!
HOW TO INSTALL EDITED ARC'D THEME: (has to be done this way)
You MUST first go through the initial setup screen
Boot back into CWM
Flash theme
Reboot
Once again on installing the theme... first format system/factory reset, then flash the buruROM, reboot, go through the initial setup, then go back into cwm, and flash the theme.
You can also do a dirty flash of this ROM over the stock 2.3.4 ROM as long as it's the one kwes has posted.
Will you see a performance increase?
Eh, probably not? I mean maybe... but nothing too big I don't think. This is mainly for me just to do something when I have free time... and also for some of you crack-flashers that have this to hold onto until kwes finishes/releases his ROM.
DOWNLOAD BuROM v0.2.
NOTES:
I recommend using the Touch of ICS theme/CRT off animation theme just because it uses the original number of files from stock instead of UOT Kitchen adding a crap-load that aren't necessary... MAYBE it'll be a speed increase.
One bug I've noticed is the charging animation will always show you having like 10% battery but don't worry, you're phone IS CHARGING and nothing is wrong lol... that's the only bug I've noticed so far, oh and that the battery is in increments of 5%.
Link changed to Google Drive instead of Media Fire and I decided that BuROM is the best name lol.
Reserved just in case...
And also, I couldn't think of a neat name (like bionix, or eagle's blood, or tsugi) for the ROM... so just did something generic. I'm bad with making up names.
pretty cool that you are learning a lot so quickly! I've been thinking of going to 2.3.4 again... maybe after I buy a bunch of spare batteries for the phone. Good job though Buru.

Also, how I found out how to get stuff from mediafire.com through the phone is getting Boat Browser, setting user agent to firefox, then it should work. If it saves as a .txt then just rename it to .zip.

Burom is a winner for a name in my book. Quick question: I installed and put your modded theme on it. Now I get no notification area. Tried booting into clockword and deleteing cache, and dalvik but no dice. Do I need to reinstall again? I'm guessing yes. Spent the morning testing cm9 with Harsh's kernel(no dice) and reset to your rom, so my rom switchingis dragging.

I am still using my SK4G. Love it! and there really are some excellant roms here for it. I was wanting to use the aroma installer, can I use this with any rom? Or does the rom have to have it included already? If I can use this with any rom, do I just flash it after I flash the rom or ?????
Thanks for any help, and sorry if this has been addressed. I have been searching and combing through everything here, and chasing down files and all that fun stuff, so it can be a bit of a mess to untangle now that I have jut about everything I was wanting.
There is only one ROM with aroma options during the initial flash but I believe it still had some issues where ricandroid and I left off.
There was a thread with an aroma install for various apps and mods which I believe yo are referring to, and yes that can be used with any ROM (except for the not finished gingerbread port) it can be flashed at any time. So if you flash a ROM and like it, then flash that aroma installer and you can customize the ROM currently on device.
I hope someday to pick up where I left off and even hopefully work on a gingerbread ROM where xindixix left off.
There are still a few people on this forum who are left and are glad to answer any question, even a few willing to do some work for the sk4g so long as someone will use it...
