It might brick your phone, it might permanently break 4G, it might kill your kitten.
I take no responsibility for any problems from this ROM, including but not limited to poor reception, deleting your entire Facebook account, or causing nuclear warfare.
It is also not much of an original work. I basically just get my kanging on with some ROMs before I load them, and someone had mentioned they might be interested.
Basically I am an AOSP fan, and really liked Bugless Beast 0.4. As bugs were found and Pete moved away from the EVO tjohnsonjr's NonSense became the spiritual successor for some of us. This ROM just takes it a small step further.
Removed
- Device Self Service
- Boot up sound
Added
- AOSP Calendar
- Eliot Stocker Music app (from CM and DC)
- BB v.4 launcher and home
- Bugless Beast Tips
- I put the Adobe Flash apk in, haven't tested it yet
- Quick Boot
- Spare Parts
- multitouch keyboard (also has AOSP and HTC IME)
- Lots of FCs
Uninstallable
- Beast Tips
- Adobe Flashplayer <- might or might not work
- quickboot
- Corp Cal
- ES File Explorer
- HTC Photo Album <- might break something
- Spare Parts
- Sprint TV
- Sprint VVM
- Weather <- might break something
I left the HTC browser, because it will still support double tap to resize, and the HTC copy and paste tool. It just sucks that it only allows 4 tabs. I did not put in a lot of the stuff people typically put in like Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, etc. since they will be out of date so soon anyway.
I have been mostly using CM6 instead of this, and had to kinda remake it, and it isn't very well tested. In fact I am currently in Mexico on vacation so I haven't been able to test the phone or data connections.
If you find something wrong, just post it here so I can ignore it, or maybe make fun of you. If it breaks your phone, you are welcome to whine here. If you post your mailing address I will either send a new phone to you to replace it, or stick a smelly dead fish in your mailbox, or not do anything at all. More than likely the last option.
I don't know why you would want to run this instead of a smooth running ROM that has actually had bugs fixed and won't FC every 3 minutes. CM6 is really strong as a 2.2 right now, and the official 2.2 is kinda out/will be out for real in days. DC and Fresh and NonSense and Baked Snack and many others are killer 2.1 ROMs that give you more features, stability, and battery life than stock. I sure don't plan to run this, or support it. Those guys really know what they are doing.... I can't even figure out how to change the default wallpaper without breaking stuff.
This ROM is just lame.
If you are still interested I suggest talking to a doctor. And you can grab it from the link right here.
Of course a big thanks to all the people I have totally mooched off of. I'm missing some, but off the top of my head.

If this is merely bb4 without the awake bug, I want it. Any word on that?

It's not really BB 4, but I THINK it won't have the awake bug. The awake bug seems to have something to do with all the stuff he pulled out. The NonSense ROM is much more conservative on what it removes (HTC Dialer is still in there for instance).
What do people like about Bugless Beast? The more I know what in particular to bring over, the better this will be.
I could also try to grab BBv4 and fix it, but it is pretty old at this point (pre 1.47) and it doesn't seem worth the effort.
That said, if I keep this going it will more than likely become a CM6 base with tweaks, since it is true AOSP, not just sense with AOSP apps hacked in.

Well then give it a shot and let me know. If I get interest I can work on finding what else to pull out to make it leaner.

Bump.. would like this ported to froyo. No rush of course.

As long as someone at least got a giggle out of the OP, even if no one runs the ROM, it is a success.
What do you guys want out of a Froyo build that isn't already in CM6? Things are too crazy at work right now to have something out very soon, but I'm game to do more. I just don't know what AOSP people want that isn't already in CM.

G2X Rom Comparison Chart

I have started a comparison chart for the currently available ROM's for the G2X. Since we are just getting started with this device it seems like a great time.
I have made the spreadsheet editable by anyone, I encourage and would appreciate any help with keeping it current. I also do not mind any improvements you see fit, such as adding or changing columns, conditional formatting etc. I just put this together in the time I had available today and it is a rough draft. I know some of you here have much more experience in using Google docs and making something like this so do your thing! I'd like this to be a community project.
PLEASE do not intentionally falsify any information or in any way harm the integrity of this project, we all benefit from this site and there is nothing funny about ruining this for others. Also, I will make a nightly backup.
I can't seem to embed this into the post so here is a link.

Nice start...this could turn into something really helpful.

Bionix has kernel .1.1 according to its changelog?

It seems you are trying to make a point or something with the voodoo lagfix?
If none of the phones have it, why would there be a column then?? The column would only be necessary if one of the roms had it. Why put it in there?

We will never have a lag-fix as we already have a great file system (ext3 and ext4) only reason that would be needed is for Samsungs ****ty rfs file system. Might as well remove it from the chart
Good comparison chart though. ^^
Edit: Oh and mine does have spare parts, boot and shutdown animation changed as well

You know what, I actually re-flashed my old vibrant for the wife to use the same day I flashed my first ROM onto this phone so I remembered hearing the lagfix lady while I was flashing a ROM on here and so I thought.. well, maybe it was a little late when I put this together. Column removed.
Once again, if there is something silly like this that you guys see please feel free to make the change, I'm not claiming ownership of this spreadsheet.

Hi tweezit! Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am running your ROM now and its sexy Updated your info.
Removed the lagfix column, I guess it had just become a permanent part of my psyche.
Should I replace with a file system column (ext3 or ext4)? Or is that not important?
Also, is it safe to assume everyone is running the same base band at the moment?

Good topic

My ROM info is lacking
Stock launcher2
Included: T-mobile Theme Manager/Chooser, SpareParts, FileManager, Torch, DSP Manager, ROM Manager and WiFi Calling.
Kernel is 2.6.32.41 with latest patches, updates, OC/UV etc etc
Anyways, hope this will make the ROM less of a mystery

Thanks for the info faux! I promise its nothing personal that yours was lacking. I actually think your ROM is brilliant, and your a bit of a genius![/suckup] I'm just sticking to froyo for now.
I really appreciate you guys (devs) posting in here. I've been working long days I just wanted to get this out there even as a really rough draft so it didn't just become a bigger and bigger task I don't get around to. I

Added Gigglebread and File System column.
Thanks to everyone who has edited with more info!

This is going to sound petty, but can we add a column for HD recording support? I know the leaked build doesn't support it (that's why I went back to stock), do any of the custom ROMs support it yet that are not Froyo-based? I presume all froyo ROMs would support HD recording with the LG camera apk.

Pretty small zip file

Why did you not give any credit to LC, as i see it you took his ROM he released today, changed to the inspire in build.prop then added a new launcher and gave him ZERO credit? am i right?

Something smells fishy here...

No screenshots... Small zip... Very fishy... Anybody flashed this so called "Rom" yet? Im iffy on tryin
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

The "Small zip" ISN'T the ROM, its the Inspiremod. I'm assuming he has yet to upload the ACTUAL ROM.

Well last time I check he has it labled in title as [ROM]

No prob. So, whats different in this ROM? What exactly is Zeam launcher? All I've ever caught wind of is Trebuchet and Nova. Also, in the LC builds, the camera is glitchy. Is that fixed with this camera?

The camera glitch can be cured 2 ways:
1. Open camera, if it shows black, lock and unlock
2. Use Camera 360.
Either method works fine.
Zeam is a simple yet mildly customizable launcher. Took me away from ADW! Trebuchet is a CM Launcher.

Just give him some slack. He's just offering some help with another option for ICS. No one said You had to download the ROM and test it, did they? Its just another OPTION for us to CHOOSE to flash on our phone. Its not mandatory.

[mod edit - removal of moderated material]
Then dont run it. Doesn't bother me one bit.
This SHOULD NOT be a problem as this section is chopped full of people posting up their own modded MIUI's etc. I'm sure you've already messaged him. It is what it is.

Ahhh, yes. Wipe is needed. Figured it was assumed since I do out of habit lol

Did a cache/dalvick wipe + factory data reset before flashing. Overall impression - not bad for beta, needs some tweaking. Battery life fair. Used 30% in 10hrs. Bluetooth paired normally, but instead of rings got bursts of static when calls made. Camera worked okay. Had to tap button twice to get past black screen. Was told some calls had bit on an echo.

What is this fix? I tried searching but only three threads come up with "bluez"

[ROM] 5.07.651.1 (Closed) tread moved to MBQ Sniper.

This will be a continuation of the FirePower Roms. New Roms have been thoroughly checked and completely reworked.Faster,Better,Slimmer and more reliable. Both Roms include faster scrolling speed,faster app response and withdraw. Much faster overall experience. Lots of bloat removed that was left in.
Some Major Magic work done all around,for a noticeable improvement. All Roms may be used as a base by anyone,feel free to dig in. Make sure you {link} back here,in your tread.Give the Rom base some props.

Thanks Diablo this is exaclty what I was looking for, off to work on the build now. Thanks again.

It's fantastic, thanks man.

For anyone who likes inverted mms, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559437&highlight=inverted+mms it works pretty well, Thank Jessesse for it .Later

Ive got extended quick setting fully working just need to iron out this low memory/low on space warnings in the quick settings boxes. Stay tuned ill have it out soon.If you know what i need to correct please let me know
Edit.. still getting odd popup with 0-9.back to it again.

were you getting the low mem warnings before you added the quick settings, Never got any warnings myself,,,

nope just when i flash quick settings everything works just inside the auto rotation/wi-fi/mobile network boxes theres (low on space) and (phone storage space is getting low) which is not true. im going to start all over i guess.also i cant rid the0-9 popup box,which i think is related to the text popup apk i put in the rom. This was my first ever port attempt but ill get it working.

You have a pretty awesome base to work with and your doing a great job so far, Keep at it. Im really digin it so far. Theres a few things id like to see for this rom, but before i say anything, id rather see what you come up with. Thanks again for your efforts man it is greatly appreciated by all. Later

Agreed. Good work! It's nice to see some of the mods from previous versions working on the new base. The text being wrong in the Quick Settings issue is going to be hex edit in SystemUI.apk, I believe. outerdepth had a similar issue when porting the Express. He might be able to help.

Ive been bangin away on this rom all day and i mean all day non stop. From flashing at 97% till now its been 6 1/2 hours non stop. Different mods,, stock kernel, different other kernels constant reboots, about 35 mms about 20 sms a couple hours web surfing,just playin with it non stop and im still at 47% battery. battery life is off the chart This rom just keeps getting better and better and its not even a day old yet. Im going to hang with the new freedom universal kernel for a day and then check the lionfish 1.8 universal for a day and see which ones the best...

I ported paranoid android v1.5a from the speedy over to the doubleshot but it has some wicked battery drain and I have to get the key lights working. But as of right now I'm unsure on what to do. Maybe there is a framework file I can grab from cm9 to stop the battery drain and then hack the lights in. Any and all help would be appreciated

Strapped I encountered the keyboard lights issue on my previous device using CM9. You could fix it by disabling als for keyboard backlights.

or use eventd and add a place in the init

There is an old Chinese curse: "may you live in interesting times". On devices like a phone, there is something to be said for stability, as long as the functionality that it delivers is sufficient. I've fallen into the "I want something new" path myself many many times over the years, but the reality is that may doubleshot users use their devices for their jobs. Consider the phone a tool--how often are there major advances to hammers? What is more important is in the long-run, what can you do with the tool? If you are boored with the phone, start with android development, and come up with ideas on what YOU can do with it, and deliver to us applications that make us amazed. Android isn't an end-goal, it is a tool.
