Hello,
I would like to submit a request to developers of ROM. All these ROMs are great here! But I will wish a base ROM with nothing and even less than the basic HTC.
But I do not feel the soul of a ROM Cooker! Here is my request :
- The latest HTC ROM available
- The last kernel available
- The last Superuser avaible
- BusyBox and all apps necessary for a good root
- Remove all Social Netwok inegration as possible (Facebook, Peep tweeter, plurk, Friend Stream...)
- Just Sense and application is necessary
- Remove Stock, Footprints, AppSharing, PDF Viewer, Teeter, Flicker, Car Panel, QuickOffice and all apps is not necessary for the good functionning of Sense
- No google apps added
- Adobe apps, Google Maps are uninstallable and upgradable
- Removed HTC apps are installable if users want
- The best battery life is possible
- No theme
- No Boot Sound, no vibrate shutdown, reboot option in the shutdown menu and all patch useful such as 30 fps...
In a summary a lightest ROM with only Sense and necessary for this to work. And everyone can handle what he wants to add later.
Some questions about battery life :
- Is it necessary to use Underclocked kernel ?
- Is it necessary to use perfblock ?
If you have other ideas for this ROM please do not hesitate
Thank you in advance to the cooker who respond to this request!

hi buddy,
I have been running your ROM from yesterday. So far its perfect. No hangs, no lag nothing. The battery backup is awesome.
The wallpapers and lock-screen is good.
Finally good to see a SKINless ROM.. The beauty of Win 7 is its natural appeal, happy that you kept it without adding any skins.
Is your ROM cab updatable ?
Also, what the future improvements planned ? ..
Keep cooking. Thanks.

Most of the ROM's here are skinless, I think many peple are confusing themes for skins. Themes are what you set on the phone like Light and Dark, my ROM for example has extra ones as options via CAB update that offer Red, Blue, and Green themes as well as extra accent colors (tile/icon colors). Skins are modifications to how the Icons/Tiles and other system elements look aside from color. There are only a few of these skinned ROM's. Also these 'Light' ROM's are a 'dead end' meaning NOT updatable via offcial means, just something anyone flashing these should be aware of.
hi voluptuary,
Thanks for the explanation. I didnt notice the ROM from you which is more like stock . I thought from version 2.0 you went to GlassSkin based ROMs . Just noticed you have both the skinned and Skin free version.
I am not aware of the Meaning of Light Roms, thanks for letting me know.
hey just wondering, in this rom does the video messaging and voice memo messaging work. like when in sms you can attach videos and voice recordings.

yes...its cab updatable
future OS updates will be cooked as they come out..no worries if you don't get official updates, as they usually leak earlier anyway..then you will have the new OS build cooked earlier anyway...for the last year I haven't used any official roms/updates...
I dumped several roms out there & picked the best in each (credit & thanks goes to other chefs)....then got the best of each to build this one...
My goal is to have a fast, small sized, reliable, & very functional rom
as for future development, I will work on including more registry tweaks & useful packages...work in progess now, watch for future change log
as for wireless sync - video text - 3G settings ... these are KNOWN issues in ALL Tango roms
wireless sync: was working last in Mango .. will investigate to fix in Tango soon
video text: change video settings to low quality & you can attach up to 5 sec video...will also investigate how to change registry to allow longer videos
3G settings: no fix for now but data is working good so not really a critical issue
again all these are Tango issues not related to this rom...as I mentioned, i researched & collected the "best" of whats out there in my opinion
Thanks
I guess no news is good news...
many many downloads & no posts = rom running smoothly
I have it on my phone & have no issues...but please if you face any problems or have suggestions (other than known all Tango roms' issues above), post them here
all feedback is appreciated
Thanks
very smooth ROM, but just a feedback. If possible, please cook all the Nokia Apps in the next iteration of your ROM. Drive, Creative studio, Transit etc. They are fantastic and add a whole new functionality to the phone.

Hello
I used to cook (for other models) "Full" roms that have many apps..so once you reset you will have "out of the box" ready to use phone... but users kept disagreeing about what to keep & what to remove
So, now I usually cook "clean" roms...just with base M$ files & some tweaks (unlocks/registry/Drivers/xmls..etc)...
I try to NOT cook any apps as you can always install them later easily
this gives the flexibility to users to start from a "light" rom that uses the least space & functions smoothly & stay FAST...but install what each user likes later
sounds good?

Review:
Phone Arena Short Review
thanks in particular @CedArctic for his awesome review
Please consider this is a Beta and my first app, bugs could occurs
Suggestions and bugs report are very very welcome !
Enjoy !
Screenshot Attached:
more screenshots in play store link (screens are a bit outdated, in current application you can find more material design )
Positives: Really nice app for the first beta, I like the option to customise the Action Bar colour (and yes it's called action bar not title bar) and it's very fast and smooth, and it has a few nice features.
Negatives: At the moment is very unstable and crashes a lot as you leave the app, the app isn't translated to English properly (few phrases missing) and on an HDPI device colours for the action bar are cut off on the right side (I've attached a screenshot), maybe you can make it scrollable.
Keep up the good work! :good:
Would be cool if you make your strings public so that the community can translate your app to other languages. Another thing is that I'm using Viper4Android equalizer and your app just creates a toast which says that I should restart my phone whenever I try to open equalizer settings.
NICE!
Great idea..
i like the UI
feature request
-swipe to change tracks.
-english translation
-ability too search all.. you wont need to go to the artist section to search for artist.. like that..
bugs
-there are some songs/artist/albums that is not appearing when searched.
-some tracks doesnt appear on the artist/abum
-it crashes too
overall good app
keep it up
sorry for my english not my first language
Thanks to all of you for trying my app, your feedback and report are really helpfull
At this stage it's clear it is too soon for a public release, but i would really appreciate if someone wants to help me testing the app so i can discover and fix bugs as soon as possible (when the app crash i receive logcat on my mail).

I'm noticing that the equalizer behaves in a strange way, this is caused by a lot of different equalizer (stock, viper4android, CyanogenMod, xposed framework, ...), implemented in custom ROMs, I'm trying to solve this problem (some bugs were fixed in 1.0. 7, try it)
hope we can browse songs by folder.
nice man! downloading now.
Sugestions if you want to make this the N°1 Android Player
- YouTube search and play video
Including playlist support
screen off/other aplication playback ( I Use "Freddi yt player" for this)
Pin videos (or audio download) for offline use
- Buit in Album art downloader and mp3 tag editor (I use mp3dit for this)
- Lyrics grabber (I used to use "lyrics" for this (stopped working))
Just play a music and with one click see the lyric
Sync All option for offline use
Button on the app and also on notifications for lyrics.
So,here we have 3 difference apps that could be just one,(also some new features for them) plus the stock music player
And would be "revolutionary" for non advanced users
Congrats for theming, also good musical taste
Subscribing for this thread
I downloaded your app today. It is very nice, with a cool interface. I liked it very much and will start to use it to see if I can spot some bugs.
I have a request. My phone is a Samsung with stock rom. I would like the app to have a lockscreen widget to control music, such as the one seen in one of your screenies. It is possible?
EDIT: by some random reason, the widget appeared.
The app keeps appearing in notification bar, even when it's inactive and don't playing music. Is there a way to get rid of this?
One sugestion:
Make a tab to see the music by the folders. The rocket player have this feature and it's only because of this that i use it. Seriously dude, add a tab of folders where we can see our music by folders and i will start using your app.
Songs are displayed alphabetically instead of by their track order. That's a major negative for me.
Feature request - smart shuffle = all songs until entire catalog is played, not the "random" shuffle nearly all players have, that cycles through the same songs over and over. The only player I've found that approaches this is just playlists. The shuffle Gods have long ago given up on us..
Sent from my LG-V510 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Looks promising, will definitely check it out. A couple of ideas or suggestions:
Does the player currently (or will it in the future) have the option to pull music from folders on cloud storage instead of on the device itself? It would free up a ton of storage space on our phones, for those that don't have much room for our massive playlists.
Also, is the album art downloaded and kept "post-song" in a file of some sort? If so, can the ability to enable or disable the album art download be added once the album art function is added in to the player? Again, just thinking of saving limited space 8)
EDIT: Also a big fan of suggestions of others! Swyping to skip forward or backward would be real nice feature, as well as the option of adding the lyrics to the app main page. An option for dark (Holo dark?) would be a nice touch as well.
great simple interface
Loved simple interface. And loved the feat "hide small audio files "... notification sounds wont play . Great idea
One suggestion after using player for 10 mins.
Can we add indivisual songs to the queu rather than the whole list of songs is played when a song is selected from the "songs" tab. In my view user wouldnt want to play all songs at any given time, rather music depends on time or affect and .. so many artist or album have songs we want to listen to a particular time.
Great for a Beta!
Suggestion: Add tab to browse music through folders and continuous gap-less playback would be great.
Cheers
Man you've already made me regeert buying another music player on Google past just a week ago! The interface is great, it has play next which a lot of apps don't have, you have a 3x 3 album grid which I find way better than both a 2 picture wide grid and a list. Also, you seem to be the only one that understands that text may be larger /longer than you screen permits, and you make the text scroll which I've asked developers of every music app I've tried to implement and the way the queue slides out is quite nice. Maybe a mini tutorial on the slide out menu would make it a bit more obvious that you can do that for less experienced users. I like how solid Explorer does that: just one picture with an arrow showing where you can slide.
I've got 1 small request though:
a dark theme, I use an amoled screen so that would save energy for me
Keep up the amazing work!
[FONT="]URWsoft BareBone Cleaner
Features & Benefits
[/FONT]
Free Rom choice: Choose any Samsung Touchwiz Lollipop Rom and cleans it down to a core level. This way you can choose a Rom which fits your personal liking and requirements and clean it down to your comfort level.
Reduced to the Max: Reduce Rom A full blown Samsung Rom comes with about 300 apps which can be brought down to about 75 core apps
Faster Rom: After a full clean you will have about 1.1 GB free RAM available which is about 300-400 MB more compared to a full blown Samsung Rom. This increase the performance.
Individual Cleaning Definitions: The BareBone Cleaner provides you with plenty of options to customize the cleaning process and make sure you prevent apps you want to keep from cleaning.
Compatible: Several user feedbacks confirm that the BareBone Cleaner works with odexed and deodexed as well as Samsung based Lollipop and KitKat roms on all kind of S5 variants.
Saved Profiles:
Ones you have defined your individual profile it will be saved as an editable text file on your SDcard (URWsoft folder) and next time you flash a Rom you can run this profile with the exact same settings with no additional effort.
You will have predefined profiles for one click cleaning available. One save Default Profile and an Extrem BareBone Cleaning Profile.
You can reset your profile to default setting anytime and start to define a new profile.
You have a Bypass option available which will keep you defined profile and just present you with a complete unselected profile. This will help you to just select one or more apps for addition cleaning or select one of the Install options
Multi Window Operation: On the first customization window you can select which further menus you want to enable. Only these windows will be presented.
Alternative Apps and Tweaks: You might want to get rid of the S5 stock keyboard, or the TouchWiz Launcher. As an alternative you can select the S6 keyboard or Nova Launcher etc. from the Install Apps menu and be able to remove the stock apps without being left with an unusable rom.
Rom Specifics Menu: Most of the rom chefs implement different kind of apps to their roms which are additional to the Samsung standard Rom content. In order to give you the opportunity to get rid of specific unwanted apps which I started this new section. This will grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options.
Users Selection Menu: Some users requested me to clean even more content which I either didn’t test sufficiently yet or might remove rom functionality which is required for a seamless rom operation. These requests can be found in the Users Menu. If you tested these selections please let us know your experience is with it. If everything works fine for daily use these cleanings could be easily shifted into the standard cleaning options.
Additional Features: The BareBone Cleaner will further grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options. The profiles will help already to combine a feature rich utility with ease of use and fast track profile executions.
[FONT="]URWsoft BareBone Cleaner Project
I’m not a developer but I’m flashing ROMs since quite some years and today I’m experienced enough for this project.
The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
[/FONT]
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of Edgarf28 who provides us with his awesome XtreStoLite rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.
Therefore I started to develop the BareBone Cleaner to be able to choose any TouchWiz Lollipop rom and clean it down to the same level as Edgar is doing with his rom. Short after I decided to share my BareBone Cleaner in this thread Edgar returned and provided an updated rom version.
As I enjoy this project and got several motivating feedbacks from users who would like to clean the rom of their choice, I decided to continue the development of my BareBone Cleaner and bring it to the next level by porting the cleaner logic to a user friendly Aroma Installer. Now users can individually choose what they would like to clean and I will step by step add more options now.
The most important factors for me, beside the combination of performance and battery life is the fact the I’m able to run the original TouchWiz rom but maximum debloated to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So what happens if you use my script?
The script deletes all kind of apps from your installed rom based on your selections down to a core level what is required for a stable operation. From that level you can add any desired app from the Google Playstore to satisfy your personal requirements and style.
Important notes
The BareBone Cleaner is designed to clean TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.x roms running on the S5 G900F which are either odexed or deodexed.
Currently I’m not planning to support other rom types. I’m happy to get your feedback if you tried it successfully on other roms as well so other users can benefit from that information as well.
Best use is running the BareBone Cleaner from recovery right after flashing a new rom but you can also make use of it if you want to clean your existing installation. In this case you might experience that apps like Google maps, Youtube etc. will be gone. In this case just load them again from Google Playstore.
! Flash this Script at your own Risk !
!! - I don't take any responsibility for any Damage - !!
Create a Nandroid-Backup before flashing the script!

will defintely test it out mate,
well done just what i needed but would it be possible to make one where you can add or remove stuff
Good question, I need to put that in my QA section.
You can do this easily yourself by editing the update script file in the zip package with notepad++. Here you find the list of everything to be deleted. You can take out or add any other desired content to be deleted.

thanks i want to have Samsung video app and Samsung file manager
Just search for it in the update script and simply remove the delete commands for all apps you want to keep

by delete commands, you mean to delete the whole line of it yes !? i noticed some apps that arent in many Roms like the ktoon kernel or the alliance manager etc. even if you keep those in the script it is no big deal right !?
and when you delete a whole line that particular app/apk will not be deleted if it is present in the ROM that you would be using correct !?

correct, just take out the whole line of the content you would like to keep in your ROM. If you find stuff which is not present in your ROM it just does nothing.
the idea is great but you delete to much
fingerprint sensor isnt working anymore
and you delete "/system/csc"

that's 1:1 taken over from the XtreStoLite structure. Edgar also removed this in his ROM. But as discussed before, you can easily addapt the script to your liking.
Thanks for this can't wait to try

I already expected this feature request coming sooner or later. This was created for my own use but it looks like I need to make it more comfortable for the community. I will see what I can do. Probably I need to evaluate Aroma but this will take some time.
Most of the issues which was reported so far are the fingerprint scanner and the samsung keyboard to be kept. As a fast solution I will create another version which will keep these apks. This should resolve the immediate issues. As many rooted users are working with Titanium or similar tools they could feeze these apks later on when they are not wanted.
