haven't tried it yet but it looks really impressive. Still some thinks I would change and will put back into this rom, because I think it is a little bit TOO slim, but this is everybody's own decision.
looks really nice and will be tested on the weekend.

looks promising.
a couple of questions; you've removed conversations.apk and messaging.apk. what sms app does your rom use?
i can see that you have removed talk.apk. isn't it needed to be on the phone to access the market?

Good job. Thanks for that tutorial on knocking off some cmg. Can you by any chance tell us how to make those boot only files that other mods put up. It really helps to downgrade that way. I will try this once I am back home from work.
cheers

Very clean Rom, at the moment all work for me, market work perfectly, i will test sms and this evening...

Maybe if you dont do a factory reset before installing the rom (rom does a reset before anyways). So if Talk is setup in the first place its required (I'm guessing), but so far without it works fine. Added screenshot above of market with paypal on screen.
Also tiggggr is right, the messaging apps where replaced with a stock MMS app.

If your talking about things like the Android 2.2.1 - 3.4.2-107 TMobile US modified bootloader. No idea, this flashing method I dicuss does not use/make a modified bootloader. Its just removing the Froyo bootloader and system partitions from the sbf.

Please test Youtube videos on High Quality if you dont mind.

Yes really, Youtube High quality is bug, you modified the build.prop or something more..?

Ya I have a notion that Stagefright being enabled for player streaming might be the cause. I'm looking into it.

No problem
Ok no problem, only modify the media.stagefright.enable-player=true to false or use this buil.prop
One thanks for me plz

Was uploading the new version already but thanks.
Yup Stagefright being enabled for the youtube player was causing the issue. Flash the new version and should be all set.

coming from pays 3.3
I found pays 3.3 to be laggy when trying to close apps and the network connection quite slow and jumping between 3G and H a lot. I think the network issue is causing the lag.
coming from pays 3.3 on 3.4.2_145-003. I thought I'd wipe and factory reset before installing Lawnchair.zip
This left me with a clean ROM but with no home app and having wiped in clockwork recovery meant no debug for an ADB push. I didn't check for ADB connection but I found that voice commands would run and that allowed the selection of clockwork, so no need to reflash sbf.
Just a note if anyone sees this.
ROM has booted now and looks good, people shouldn't complain about what's missing, nothing's missing if you have ever used Titanium or Appmonster.

Ya the reason for re-flashing the sbf is because other rom's (and mine) do remove apps from the system folder. Something which a factory reset wont fix.
However, because my rom does include all stock system apps; yes this should work but like you said if your missing a Launcher in your system folder it will make it complicated.
Otherwise, glad to here its up and running.

thank you very much for the work. the downgrade method you just included are new to me. As long as i´m working on DefyFroyoSense Beta01 and cant fix the camera flash problem, i think your way to flash Froyo and keep downgradability will fix this issue. BTW you optimized rom is great for those who wanna have a personalized system running. Thanks again and keep it coming.

Ugh had it turned off, go for it now heh.

I really liked the rom, although what i did experience was a some random lagging occurring.. after switching on the screen the device seemed to hang completely then just as i was about to pull the battery it began working again. i hadnt installed any apps and i had followed all steps exactly.
I had to reflash an alternative rom in the end because of the freezing...
I am looking forward to trying new builds - cant think of any features needed really, it would just be nice to know if others had similar issue to me and if there was a fix for it.

SuperAosp 6.4

SuperAosp 6.4
Statement: http://www.movilzona.es/foro/superaosp-para-nexus-one-by-superatmel-tolemac-t4675.html
Special thanks to [email protected] workgroup for letting me join this group.
This ROM (not a mod) has been developed from the source of
Google (AOSP) and a very little part of Cyanogen framework.
Thanks to Cyanogen and all his staff for the contributions received.
I strongly recommend formatting SDCARD with the three
partitions, VFAT 7.4 GB / EXT3 512MB / LinuxSwap 64MB, you can do
from the recovery, but remember to save before your pictures and music.
This is because directories are created in the sdcard called Android in which
recording data that I have found that negatively affect the ROM.
This is only necessary if you want to have Apps2sd or Linux Swap,
if you're not going to make any of these things is not necessary to format
SDCARD with three partitions.
Steps:
1 .- is necessary to WIPE, since changes in the system have been
many are not compatible.
2 .- Reboot into recovery mode and install the downloaded file. Zip.
3 .- When you first start, do not worry if you reboot one or
twice, it can also take a while to leave the first splash, is
completely normal and running multiple configuration files in the first
home.
4 .- In the Welcome screen when you ask for the account
google, skip the configuration recommended giving ignored. This is
Auto connect the phone because the market and begin downloading
automatically all the applications you had installed and it saturates
terminal because it does blow, it also puts the background image
previous ROM. In this way you will do a clean install.
5 .- End to indicate the values ​​that you requested and once in the
launcher set the phone to your liking.
6 .- Very attentive to you to do restorations of any kind or
ROM program against which you can have problems. (I mean backups,
including their own SupSetup least in the section on applications), special
attention to restore configuration data of any kind. Do
little by little to make sure everything is properly restored.
7 .- After you enter the market and a free application instaláis
either to refresh which you have installed in the terminal.
The new integrated SupSetup activation brings on-demand applications in
extra applications section.
It is important before you set up Google account are activated
from applications before SupSetup so that when you connect to the
servers to configure your Google account, they come under the heading of
downloads.
Apps2sd
Apps2sd is to pass the phone applications both current
future to the ext3 partition, it is essential not to trigger any mode
sd application to move or change from internal to external location
applications. Simply activate it from the SupSetup without touching any
configuration in the Spare Parts or applications from the ROM settings.
Apps2sd not activate without at least once you have restarted
Kernel
At the end of the kernel is not mine, of all the comments of several forums, I have
opted to include the COS-Stock kernel-2.6.36.4_EzTerry_05092011

Well until you can actually provide information on this Rom I don't think anyone should even touch it. If you guys are developers you should be able to provide this info no problem.

What about OC?
And screen on/off animation working?

Tested on new radio
I have tested it on my
HTC 32A
Radio 6.35.16.19
SPL : 1.76.2007
Recovery: Seo+-2.01
Stuck on the vodafone Splash screen for more than 10 minutes...
Back to CM7.

If you have not partitioned your SD card yet:

As far as I can tell, you MUST flash the stock LG leaked ROM via the EXE first, otherwise - NO GSM. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115487

Thanks for confirming. Will add to the instruction in the first post.

VERY IMPORTANT:Don't flash the rom's zip directly over your actual rom, because IT DOESN'T WORK. First, you MUST flash the original rom, by following the steps showed in the russian video. It is recommended to uncheck the recovery checkbox, so that you leave your modded recovery on your phone. Once installed the base rom, you can flash the GingerLOL over the former, via recovery as always

I don't find any reason to flash this GB, coz you will need to flash that russian exe and to choose ERASE EFS APPS for gsm etc which could be quite risky.
May be Andy could do some favor from this rom. I would suggest you guys to wait.

I don't get why people want to try this, you can't even overclock it and it's just LG rubbish.

Yes u right, even LG Launcher is nice.

No way it can out-performs devoid+my kernel, not in a long shot. And without the sources nothing can be made. I loled at the 35 fps neocore from that rom lol

Well, it depends on what it is rubbish for you. If rubbish is something that doesn't score 1 zillion at quadrant, then ok it's rubbish. If we speak of its smoothness, its stability and its overall performance, well, then it is no rubbish at all. No arguing meant, just explaining my ideas.

<ROM> Samsung Gravity Smart T589 <10/26/11>

Sorry for posting here - there is no forum for this device.
This is for the Samsung Gravity Smart T589.
This is a stock 2.2.2 froyo rom that is deodexed and themed. ​
This was built from a system dump - the firmware hasn't been released yet.
Please note that I am not a developer - just a tinkerer.
This will be installed by flashing through the stock recovery.
There are no custom recoveries available yet for this device.
This has the majority of the bloatware removed.
It will utilize the stock kernel already in the phone.
The ROM download link is provided after the screenshots.
A RAR file download link is provided with the apps that were removed.​
Details:
Removed Drivesmart from Settings.
Removed Social Network Key from Settings - hotkey defaults to Facebook
Removed Messaging Key from Settings - hotkey defaults to Message App
Removed Notification Slider from Settings
Removed Software Update from Settings - wont OTA a custom rom
Removed many ringtones and added a few.
Removed Startup sounds and Shutdown sounds.
Removed Startup and Shutdown animations.
Removed the following apps:
Aim - Bejewled - Allshare - DriveSmart - Dual Clock - Cloud Text - Gallery3d - Glympse - Lookout -
MallLite - Maps - Memo - My Account - My Files - Photobucket - Protips - Sticky Message Widget -
Street - Swipe Tips - Talk - Tetris - TeleNav - Uno - Youtube​
Added the following apps:
File Expert (has root explorer) - Flash Player - Latest Gmail - Htc Keyboard - Latest Link2sd -
QuickPic (gallery app) - Latest SuperUser + Latest Binaries - Busybox - Latest Terminal Emulator -
Latest Titanium Backup (free version) - Latest Spare Parts Plus​
Added 3 build.prop edits.
One for maximum events per second and the other two for sounds.
The default ringtone is from the movie "Crank" - the fading in and out phone tone.
The default notification sound is "Tinkerbell" - lol.
Added a custom boot animation - blue coin.
Added Sd Card speed tweak + battery tweak.
Themed several icons through the IC Menu.
Themed the framework to a black "Sense" theme.
Themed the battery icons.
This device has very little internal space, so I have included Link2Sd app.
[*]If you wish to utilize this included app, you must do the following prior to installing the rom:
Partition the sd card as follows:
** NOTE - PARTITIONING THE SDCARD WILL ERASE THE CONTENTS **
- first partition will be created as a <FAT32> <Primary> partition.
- (leave about 512mb for the 2nd partition)
- second partition will be created as a <Ext2> <Primary> partition.
- this should be 512mb with 0 swap
Installation instructions:
- partition sd card (this will erase the contents)
- download rom (which is an update.zip for the stock recovery)
- put rom on the sd card
- power off phone
- slide open the keyboard and hold down the <T/5> button and the <Power> button until the recovery appears
- use the <Volume Keys> to scroll to <wipe data/factory reset> and hit the <Power> button to confirm
- use the <Volume Keys> to scroll to <wipe cache partition> and hit the <Power> button to confirm
- use the <Volume Keys> to scroll to <apply update.zip> and hit the <Power> button to confirm
- rom will install and reboot phone automatically
- first boot will take a minute
- open Link2Sd app - inform the app the 2nd partition is a <Ext2> partition and reboot phone
- open Link2Sd app after reboot - hit the <Menu> key then click on <Settings> tab
- check the <Auto Link> box and click on <Install Location> and click <Internal>
- most apps downloaded from market will default to the sd card
- you will have to open Link2Sd app after installing apps and move the app back to the phone
- then you will have to click each installed app in Link2Sd interface and click on <Create Link> and link all thats permitted
- this will solve the majority of the limited space issue with this phone
NOTES:
This phone seems to operate best when the CPU frequencies are set to 320 min and 800 max.
We can't overclock the phone until a kernel is developed. Samsung hasn't release the kernel or firmware yet.
Download No Frills Cpu from the market and set the frequencies to those specs.
The phone is defaulted to 245 min and whatever it needs up to 800.
At 245 minimum, it uses more battery power to "wake" and if it wakes frequently at this setting,
it really adversely effects battery performance.

Hi
I'm kinda new to flashing roms so I was wondering if this rom would work on the canadian sgh t589 (samsung galaxy q)?
Thanks alot

the cdn version indeed is the galaxy q.. just like ours is the same line of phones..
so yes i cant see why flashing wouldn't work..
the only thing that comes to mind would be changing the apn settings.. im not sure
but i dont think you will get a data signal since me and arhtard are running on with
tmobile with a sim...if you have tmobile great if not and running a diff provider and hopefully not cdma... so thats probably the only issue i can for see.. as i flashed this rom with
zero error.

Just flashed this tonight on my friend's phone. Success! The stock recovery will show errors on nuking cache and data I believe, but they do get nuked. The spinning coin animation is nice! Where is it from? Am I safe to assume I can nuke other apps without issue via su?
Oh...and when is the next release and how can I help? I have a knack for programming/scripting.

Alien ROM provides a concocted stew of TouchWiz, and Gingerbread for your Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Samsung's TouchWiz functionality stays intact, but the Alien theme brings a slight hint of traditional Gingerbread to the party. There are very few theme changes with this ROM.​Official Beta Tester signature:

It's not working when I install! I'm receiving force closes, sitting at bootloops, etc.
Make sure you're installing the ROM correctly. Remember that kernels, MODs, radios, and carriers can mess with your phone's performance and workability.
I'm not on AT&T and this ROM is completely broken!
This ROM is not necessarily designed for international compatibility. Please wait for future updates or attempt an install with a proper international kernel.
Why is my device running/booting slowly?
Your first boot will take an unimaginably long time. After that, your device will continue to run slowly until the application cache is built up. Don't worry, the speed will increase as you use the ROM!
Why is my battery life bad?
Your battery life is often killed when flashing ROMs in CWM. For the best battery life, you must drain your device’s battery until it turns off. Plug the device into the AC adapter and let it charge until the image says 100% charged. Then turn it on and use the volume buttons to boot into CWM. Click Wipe Battery Stats under the advanced menu. Then you should charge to 100% and install the ROM. Battery life should be comparable to (if not better than) every other ROM.
Where's my bloatware?
Alien deletes unnecessary bloatware that can be replaced by better applications in the Android Market. If you'd like the bloatware back, you can download the "bloatware.zip" from here.
Why isn't there a battery mod?
You can cook your own battery mod using the UOT kitchen. If you'd like the one I use, you can grab it here.
I thought Alien ROM was by KennethPenn, what the...?
Unfortunately, Kenneth is currently not able to continue development of Alien ROM for the SGSII SR without a phone to develop on. This is an authorized continuation of his work. Please show your support for his work by visiting BriefMobile.

Changelog:
Alien #6
Reverted brightness changes.
Added "Internet call settings" for SIP settings in Phone options.
Added "Network mode selection" (will not stick across reboots with AT&T modems but will stick for the current session).
Added "Stay Awake" development options (will not stick across reboots).
Alien #5.5 (full wipe required due to NFC and BT fixes)
Fixed NFC FC. Breaks Google Wallet, but that didn't really work anyway.
Hopefully fixed Bluetooth.
Added Roboto FlipFont (Settings -> Display -> Screen display -> Font style)
General file cleanup.
No change to frameworks, so the PDroid links in first post and any battery mods you've already cooked will still work fine.
Alien #5 (full wipe recommended if you use NFC)
No more Carrier IQ! It is still technically embedded in framework, but it is completely disabled. This allows MMS to work fine! After the first boot, you should wait about 10 minutes and then reboot. You can then verify there is no iqd process or Agent running. See known issues below if it somehow re-enables.
All system APKs have been re-packed. This solves a problem that occurred with Alien #4 and the "Android System" using more battery than intended. For the nerds, it was constantly running a garbage collection process for ~1 hour after a reboot.
Updated to use my stock kernel. This allows you to use BLN by simply installing the app from the Market. If you have no desire to use BLN, that's fine - no extra battery, etc is used by default.
Bluetooth fixes for HID devices (may fix other issues too).
NFC APK was resigned. This allows you to install the Google Wallet attachment in the first post. Unfortunately, our phone does not have a SecureElement so its unusable. But I have made this change in case some people have SIM cards with SecureElements in them (this is how ISIS will work).
Other minor changes and tweaks based on feedback in this thread.
Known issues:
Flash player seems finicky when installing the ROM. Uninstalling and re-installing through the Market seems to fix it.
Changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy increases battery drain. This is common across many phones and ROMs.
If choosing power off from the Power menu just reboots the phone, you have the first version of Alien #4. Apply the update zip from here in CWM or update to Alien #5+.
If Carrier IQ is re-enabled, simply reboot the phone which will trigger the NoCIQ script again. Wait roughly 5 minutes and reboot once more and Carrier IQ should be gone again. I've never personally seen Carrier IQ be re-enabled, but it is theoretically possible for AT&T to do.
If you are having FC bombardment issues after a reboot and you have ever installed Alien #3, then you will need to use stock recovery (3e) to factory reset, reinstall CWM and finally flash Alien #4 or newer. Wiping data in CWM, factory reset in Settings -> Privacy, etc will NOT work!
Miscellaneous:
If you want to enable "Preferred install location" in Settings -> Applications, run the following through an ADB shell and reboot:
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update system set value="1" where name="set_install_location";'

Sweet will try this. Thank you

I think so. I was able to reproduce them on build 3. They occur because /data was read-only due to filesystem errors. I've changed the install script in an attempt to fix the problem. You may have to wipe data once using stock recovery if you are currently experiencing the problem, but I'm hopeful it won't recur anymore after that.

Is this rom based on ATT? Does it have Carrier IQ?

just to make sure that i understand, when i flash the rom, after the first initial boot, i would have to wipe data using stock recovery by settings->privacy->factory reset. ?

Thanks, I'm looking into this. I noticed it on my phone, but I have a custom kernel (soon to be published as well) and thought maybe it was my kernel. Are you using the kernel that came with the ROM (which is stock but a custom ramdisk)?

No, wipe data through stock recovery (flashed via Odin). If you aren't having the FC issue, then you don't need to worry.

Nice work. Any plans to nix ciq?

Thanks for getting this to #4!
I'm getting the FC bombardment on restarting the device for the first time after initial successful boot.
prior to #4 installation while running #3, I wiped data from OS privacy menu, then flashed #4 from CWM. FC bombardment on restarting the device for the first time after repeat #4 installation.
Going to stock recovery now to wipe data, then I'll try again! I wasn't sure if you expected the same FC problems or not on this version, so I thought I'd report!
*update*: in stock recovery factory reset.
Alien #4 booted w/o issue, restarted twice. Headed back to Odin for some more CWM.
