DI14_pick-n-pack_0.2 ROM for the Samsung Mesmerize
I have reworked this ROM to make it a little easier to work with. In the 0.2 version, you will be able to flash the main package without any need to add files like in the 0.1 version. As for the removed apk files, they are now flashable either individually or in packs depending on what they are. I felt this would be an easier way to still get what you want but not having to put things together before flashing.
I still recommend that you take a backup before you flash anything. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone while flashing any or all parts of this ROM. I also recommend that you download both the ROM and Addons at the same time so that you do not have to wait for a second download after you have already flashed the ROM.
Also, to be clear since there has been confusion, MMS is 100% functional in this ROM because it uses stock MMS, not AOSP.

Download the ROM and Addons. Unzip the Addons and decide which packs you want to flash. Put the ROM and individual Addons on your sdcard and boot into recovery. Flash the ROM first. Then you can flash the Addons individually. When you are done, reboot. If the phone hangs at the boot animation for more than 5 minutes, pull the battery, do three button to get back to recovery and do a data wipe/factory reset. Reboot and things should be fine.

I don't see why not.
Awesome! I'm reading up some more on how to flash these roms in and I plan on using this one. I'm new to this and just learning.
I installed ROM Manager and installed "flash clockworkmod recovery" (it said I had to) and then I clicked backup current ROM. I have tried twice, and it said failed each time.
I'm afraid to try it again, as I don't want to ruin my phone.
Any ideas?

Try going in to recovery by turning off the phone, hold the power and volume down button. Once in recovery, select apply sdcard:update.zip. That should get you get you to clockwork recovery. From there select install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard. Find the zip and flash it.
Let me know if that works.

I sent you a PM.
Everything works. Installed without a hitch, has all the programs gone that I wanted and kept the ones I wanted by switching them to the correct folder.
This guy got on chat with me and walked me through step by step, great guy with a great ROM!
Im liken it thanks....
Nicely done my friend this just gives people more options thank you....

Thanks. That was my thinking. A lot of people were asking for apps to be put back in to jt's super clean ROM so I figured this was the easiest way that anyone could just drop in what they want and it would be custom tailored to their needs.
Since I've seen over 200 people look at the page but only 2 download the package, I'm thinking that there's got to be something to the hesitation. Feedback is welcome here, and encouraged. If this is too scary and people want something that they can just flash, throw some ideas out to me. I'm definitely open to suggestions.
I think the holidays may have something to do with it. Personally, I plan to use this once I get my phone rooted (for some reason z4root locks my phone up every time) But I want to wait until the rushing, travelling holiday is over because I cant go without my phone =)
I'm happy with the SuperClean Rom and Voodoo 5 right now, otherwise I'd have given this one a shot.
I'm still using this and I have had no issues. I like being able to choose which programs are going to be on my droid, instead of having all or none that I want.
I am getting same errors also..
I have done super one click..
Run Rom Manager and chose ROM it asks to reboot I get error.
When I choose SD update.zip it boots back into a image that has sceens that have black widgets.. All other Samsung and USSC stuff is still there as well as ROM Manager..

You have to do some work on the files to make ROM Manager working.
Get Clockwork Working
That will let you make the backup.zip and install from the SD card. Threw me for a loop as well.
One thing I do not want to lose or at least be able to find in another app is the SMART ALARM ..
I know... I got used to it in just a couple days. Love the way it sort of eased you awake instead of a full on GET UP..
So question would be. Which apk and dependencies would I need to keep and or anyone know of another app that would give me same with more options.
I just flashed cm7 through cwm and it's great, but it seems that cm7 installed rom manager, when i open rom manager, it shows that i have the option to flash cwm again. Why doesn't rom manager recognize that i already installed cwm? or is it a seperate copy?
Another question, where can i get more themes for cm7? [disregard this, just saw the themes and app subforum]
Last question, if i where to buy a game from the google market, would it forever permanently linked to my google accounts? so if i were to flash a new rom, it would allow to d/l my paid game again?
thanks in advance
Hi,
Thanks to thiagodark I've finally rooted my phone (Got it in Feb)
Now for step 2 ... Flashing Roms
Can some one suggest where I start? I see that the [ROM] [Nightly] CyanogenMod 7 (alpha) is pretty popular ... would that be a recommended start?
Two things I look to after flashing a rom would be a) install BLN (so, the rom has to have support for that) and b) should have the power widget in the notification (where I can pull down notification and toggle wifi, sound, bluetooth or whatever). Would also prefer if the a 2.3.4 Rom.
Two other things I'd like to know and would really appreciate help with are:
a) Can I flash a rom and then install any kernel ... are they all compatible?
b) I did a Google Search and found these steps to Flash a Rom:
Flash a Custom ROM
1. Head over to our Nexus S ROMs section, choose a ROM you want and download it and save it to your computer.
2. Plug your phone in and mount the internal storage so we can transfer files to it.
3. Copy the ROM .zip file over to the root of the internal storage (NOT in any folders, just on the internal storage itself).
4. Turn off the phone.
5. Turn the phone on by holding down Volume Up and Power until Fastboot mode comes up.
6. Scroll down and select Recovery and wait for the phone to reboot into recovery mode.
7. Once in recovery mode, scroll to Backup, then select Backup and wait for the phone to backup its current ROM.
8. Once it is done, select Wipe Data
9. Then select Flash zip from SD Card
10. Select choose zip from sd card.
11. Select the ROM’s zip file you loaded onto the internal storage earlier and wait for it to flash. Done!
12. Repeat to load a different ROM.

My question is .... Is step 7 what is called a Nandroid? And do I need to do this every time or do I just need to do it when I think that the current setup is good enough to back up? ... yes, I will do it the first time and then only when I think I like a Rom, but want to try another and may revert.
Thanks a ton

First you will want to do is download ROM manager onto your phone, then flash the latest Recovery from within it.
Then you should do a Nandroid (this is the backup option in recovery... do this while everything is stock) this backsup your whole phone (apart from SD card) so if you screw something up you can restore it! It is real useful, you can nandroid as much as you like, all it is is an image of your phone.
If you are just starting out i would avoid the CM nightlies and find the stable thread which is 7.0.3. That coupled with Netarchys latest kernel (includes BLN) really works wonders.
As far as the actuall flashing, all you need to do is copy both zip files onto your sd card, reboot into the recovery (you can do that from within the ROM manager).
Once in the Recovery, wipe data,cache and dalvik, then select flash from zip and choose the rom.
Wipre cache and dalvik again and then flash the kernel and restart the phone.
Thats it you should be good to go. If you ever get any Force Closes restart into recovery again and run the Fix permissions
Happy flashing
Edit
Compatibility wise, CM 7.0.3 is still android 2.3.3 (will be updated to 2.3.4 with cm7.1) so you need a 2.3.3 kernel. You also need to know if your phone is NS3G or NS4G, they are not compatible
Thanks bringonblink ... guess I'm starting to get an understanding now.
Is this Rom Manager available on the market? ... I'll check
Since rooting, I've used my phone for a day, so I presume you suggest that I wipe data and then do the nandroid in step 7 above, then install the Rom manager and go from there?
I understand your suggestion of the stable CM7. Since there is just one link for the download, no confusions
The Netarchy though is a different story ...
What is the CFS and BFS build stuff.
I'm currently using a Nexus S i9020 with 2.3.4.
So, I use the CM7 + which version of Netarchy?
Thanks once again

Rom Mangager is in the market yes.
No before you wipe , flash, crack, hack ANYTHING else again do a bone stock Nandroid backup and save it on your pc or something. This is because RIGHT NOW your phone is in a working state. THEN wipe cache ,dalvik and data and flash Rom.
7.0.3 is really nice, i had been keepign upwith the nightlies but for me 7.0.3 is the sweet spot... will flash to 7.1 stable when its out though xD.
CFS and BFS are different types of shedulers that run the phone (there is a proper explanation in netarchys thread on the first post i think)
You will want to get CFS as it is mroe stable and generally more user friendly lol.
You'll want CM7.0.3 + CFS Universal 2.3.3 1.3.4
Hey bringonblink ... thank you for your reply
I installed Rom Manager as suggested and then flashed the latest Recovery from within it. Booted into Recovery and did a backup. I then went rebooted, went to my internal storage and found the backup in a clockworkmod folder.
I then went to Rom Manager again and clicked on "Install Rom from SD card". I chose update-cm-7.0.3-NS-signed.zip, ticked Backup, Wipe Data and cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache then pressed ok to reboot.
I then got the big triangle with the ! and droid ... waited, nothing happened so I pressed power and volume up. ... this takes me to the regular stock recovery.
Why not to CWM recovery? Did I do something wrong?
Thanks for any help
Hmm flash the recovery again, but from rom manager choose reboot to recovery, don't actually update in rom manager

I guess that was the key ... when I flashed recovery again, and then chose to install the rom with all those options ticked, it worked!!!!
Am now using a custom rom ... THANK YOU!!!
Now to the Netarchy kernel ... again ... through CWM recovery I presume.
PS: I never expected a reply so soon ... thought you might be sleeping ... thanks again.

For some strange reason, when I go to the market from my PC, I see Gmail, but when I try to install, I get the message:
This item cannot be installed in your device's country!
If I go through the market on my phone, I just cannot find gmail although there is a lot of other apps that include the word gmail.
incidentally ... after flashing CM7, anything I try installing through my PC browser gives the same result as above...
By the way ... any reason why gmail is not included with the rom and with the google addons?
Gmail is in the usual Google Apps package. Maybe try flashing it again.

gmail is not available yet in some countries. what you can do is install marketenabler and fake your provider and install gmail.
on cm7, the google apps are not included as they are propriety apps, they are not open source ( if u understand what i mean)
a few years ago, google tried to sue cyanogen for distributing the google apps through cyanogenmod. they then reached an agreement that cyanogenmod could exist provided no gapps were included within.
Hey, thanks for that explanation ... let me check the work around
Hey! am back!
Rather than go through the the trouble of installing market enabler, I just went about testing a couple of other Roms ... since I also wanted to know in what way other roms were different.
I tried Liquid and Infinity ... both were nice and both had gmail, so was happier with them! Wonder why Google went after the cyanogen guys, but the others include those apps
Anyway ... am now downloading Zulu.
After having installed custom roms such as Cyanogen-mod, Liquid and Infinity, I've realized that there are some must haves ...
a) Gmail & Talk (working over 3G)
b) Sip over 3G
c) Power Controls in notification (sexy as in Liquid)
d) screen lock as in Cyanogen (the modded rotary type with an option to add a 3rd party app)
e) BLN support (have not yet got used to the small lights turning on as in BLN but, guess I'll learn).
Would some one know of a Rom that caters to the above ... I'm experimenting with each, but if someone can help, I'd be able to settle in faster
Cheers!

They went after Cyanogen because it is the biggest Most ROMS are based off of it too.
BLN is needed in the kernel, not ROM, Netarchys support this.
I think you will like NScollab, runs off of CM7 with some nice tweaks, also includes netarchys kernel as default.
Oh and it already has all gapps included , including gmail
What a coincidence ... was just downloading NScollab ... 28% done
Thanks!
bringonblink ... am liking this NScollab rom
Edit: Never mind ... googled and found ... no use to me
When I go to the market, I get a pop up asking me if I need to install some apps. Any idea what they do and if it is needed?
The apps are:
Google Chrome to Phone ... never heard of this
Google Goggles ... I know this and won't need it.
Kickback
Soundback
Talkback ... these are the 3 I have no idea about!

Hi all...I hope someone can help with my problem.
Background: After my stock phone 'crashed' last week I have spent a few days on the forum's and have learnt how to fix it.... First I created a goldcard and recovered the device using a stock WWE ROM (updated device using the PB.zip method). This all seemed fine, so then decided to use enrevoked3 to root....this went fine and I ended up with rooted version of a stock WWE ROM (I think?). It wasn’t until I decided to install a custom ROM (starting with a backup) that I found I couldn’t download anything from the app market!
I thought it was unrevoked that had caused the problem so re-flashed the WWE ROM, but found I still had the same issue (an no longer a rooted device ).
After researching on the forums it looks like I’m missing the gtalk.apk which is used by the app store (does this mean the WWE ROM I have is not up to date or complete?) However, this isnt so much of a problem if you reinstall the gtalkservices.apk, but after trying 3 different apk files from 3 different threads on this subject I still am unable to download anything from the app store (the apk's wont install and just come up with an error - 'application wont install' - also I tried this on the phone when it was rooted and after I reflashed back to the WWE ROM)
Can anyone suggest how I fix this?? I dont have a stock ROM that I can flash back to and I didnt have a backup of my original ROM as I hadn't expected to need it (as before last week my phone was 02 stock).
As a thought I wonder if I re-root with unrevoked and then installed a custom ROM (not the WWE ROM I currently have, something like Cyanogen or Miui) that maybe this would solve the problem assuming the custom ROM I installed included all the relevant gtalk apk’s etc??
I have tried to find the solution without posting another thread, but none of the other threads I have read seem to cover the same issue (most of the solutions are either re-flash your previos ROM, which I cant do, or install the apk, which doesnt seem to work..)
any and all help much appreciated
apart from step 5...this seems to have worked...hope it helps someone else one day ;-)
1) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>google services framework>clear data
2) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and force close
3) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and clear data
4) Reboot phone
5) Open and sign out of GTalk, then re-open and sign in.
6) Open Market and accept agreement. Let it load your apps. Close Market.
7) Go to market.android.com and sign in. Go to My Market Account>Settings tab>Edit>Nickname your phone and click Update.
8) Install an app from market.android.com.
Hi.
Ok, so check this out. Every time I flash a new ROM, I need to go into the MARKET and install all my apps (i don't use many, so it's not that time-consuming).
One day, I installed this GO LAUNCHER. When I flashed my rom again, in some magical way, all my apps were downloaded and installed (NOT restored, but re-installed fresh).
I do not know how the Go Launcher did this, since this happens before I even to to the market and install it after a fresh rom. Magic!
In any case, this stopped happening for some reason when I did my last flash (Weapon).
My question is - is there an APP that does this?
Again, i do NOT wish to RESTORE my apps. I wish for the MARKET to download all the apps was using (FRESH install them).
Is there a way to do this without GO Launcher?
Thanks
Whats supposed to happen is that Android is supposed to automatically download and reinstall your apps. The problem is that it doesn't always work. In fact, it has never worked correctly. Its really a hit or miss.
I think the reason is because everytime you do a fresh install of Android, it includes an old version (usually 2 or 3 versions back) of the Android Market. So the first thing it does is upgrade Market and I believe that is where it messes up with the restoring of apps.
ICS has supposedly fixed this issue.

THANK YOU!!!
Best way I've found is to make a backup of whatever rom you are on with all your apps and do a selective restore for the Data only from cwm, should put everything back including your google account.
I've done it many times between roms and have had no noticeable issues, but I can't guarantee you won't.
I haven't checked with a fresh rom install but i believe titanium can now push the updated version of software into the rom.
Meaning on your list you would see two listings of gmail.. The old and then the updated. If you pushed them into the rom and did a nandroid i wonder if the newer version of the app stays.
